tensions rise in the middle east as hamas calls often ceasefire with israel following days of deadly airstrikes on gaza. while here it will demonstrate they say going ahead with the post despite what they believe is a government that came to use the conflict as a method of diverting attention away from internal problems join me to see in a few moments and i'll bring you more. in other news it's been another turbulent week for the world's markets as fears mount that the u.s. and europe are on the brink of another devastating downturn. also we continue our coverage marking the twentieth anniversary of the attempted coup against nikko.

which changed the course of the soviet union. and it's all about maxing it out at the international they're showing your moscow where gravity defying out sion and lucrative deal making are picking up pace on the penultimate day of the event. it's five pm in moscow this is r t coming to you wife i mean he said no way with her top story hopes for a mideast peace agreement have been dealt a fresh blow with a mouse announcing its pulling out from a de facto cease fire with israel the statement comes in response to two days of israeli air strikes in gaza that saw more than a dozen killed archies polis there is following for the latest developments. and that is it will no longer adhered to a truce now they say that there's no proof of that either attack which happened on

ridge a native from gaza in fact they denied it despite the fact that israel in so that it's god's will is to blame and the palestinian president mahmoud abbas is calling for an emergency united nations security council anything he's calling on the international community to denounce and to call on israel to stop these attacks related because we had all seen the palestinians who have been killed in a round of israeli yes might that have been ongoing since the late date mostly plays with in the way that it could be a. full scale war between israel and gaza and in the last conflict there were a number of casualties on both sides but having said that it is now more than a week and israeli protesters are taking to the speech and demanding from the government that it is great they spoke the economic problems organizers of these demonstrations say that this latest wave of violence is not unexpected very much interest to pay to that israeli government if you've any faith to detract attention

from their content and make on its own terms only a we spoke to one of the organizers and that they were minds of victims of the violence and that they would still planning to go ahead tonight with a candlelight inspiration showing solidarity with those who had the hill it taken to have my we're going to march together in silence in order to respect the victim of this conflict we're very disappointed by the government reaction and then immediately said on try to use our pain you know as an adult this was your corpus and we disagree with social purpose is going to continue and we're going to keep fighting for our rights and we're going to keep doing it together and we're not going to allow this conflict to stop us earlier we heard from the israeli foreign minister avigdor lieberman and to quote him he said that the palestinian authority wouldn't sponsible for thursday's attacks and for this latest wave of violence and he said that this proves that any kind of palestinian talk about peace and wanting to. the peace process is far from reality and that is that it's as fast as ramallah

is from new york now on a bill sharp and other palestinian leaders has said that this is madness and that is what is trying to use that as an excuse to not get that you will vote past having said that later today the arab league will be meeting in cairo to look at the latest violence and law can and should be done well the latest word we have is that cairo has decided to record the head of its diplomatic mission here in israel there was earlier talk of the egyptian ambassador being recorded so certainly this is the most serious diplomatic situation we've seen between egypt and israel for quite some time you need to remember of course there egypt and jordan are the only countries here who are neighbors of israel that the israeli government has diplomatic relations with its relationships with chi was a serious you will have this right in a very serious situation that most of its neighbors now will typically be at war with the country in fact if you simple cause here is what it solves for israelis to deal with what has been termed its twice as

a very very sustained sort of lead the only israeli defense official also said that the egyptian peace treaty was to quote him fundamental to israel's existence so certainly a lot of alarm bells sounding here in tel aviv for fear that the current situation could merely deteriorate even further. now you when it delegation is heading to syria to assess the situation on the ground there but reports of twenty new deaths during the latest spate of anti-government protests that's despite president answers claims that the army operations against civilians have ended but the international pressure on the syrian leader is mounting despite moscow's refusal to provide u.s. initiative demanding and steps down. economic sanctions with the e.u. firing more penalties targeting the country's oil sector analyst james downes though says such measures could prove decisive but don't look realistic. the americans be very clear they know their influence and ability to change their behavior is

limited they've always said they'd have to reach out to countries who are closer to syria and russia is one such country and a very important country at that so i think the americans on our european specially really have to work hard to persuade the russians that they are right on syria and that russia is clearly wrong for that is the next important and i think we should focus on one particular element which is really important could go either way serious oil exports of the present about ninety percent or so syria's oil is exported to europe so the europeans are now come out you know united front against assad does that mean that they will no longer accept syrian oil now syrian oil makes up some quarter of syria's hard currency budget so could have a huge amount of an impact on the assad regime its ability to control things so ultimately i do think there is more than rhetoric to what the u.s. and the europeans are saying right now. but still to come this hour on our t. marking history it's been twenty years since an attempt to overthrow well go to a child and the soviet government was awarded the second of our special report is

just ahead. but first world stock markets have plummeted amid signs of a possible u.s. recession and renewed worries over the health of europe's banks investor confidence has been dealt a severe blow when sparked a massive sell off at the end of the. week. explains global economic fears continue to build. investors around the world may have very little to celebrate this weekend as u.s. stocks and major european share markets closed down on friday of course this capping the turmoil and volatility that continues to be seen in the european economy in the u.s. economy at least being seen for the past few weeks this does not help ease the lack of confidence in trade and lack of trust that is taking place among analysts and investors keeping their eye on the global economy and j.p.

morgan chase morgan stanley goldman sachs are among the three banks that came out with reports we're wising their predictions for us and global economic growth big those predictions morgan stanley even saying that the global economy is hovering close to a recession and also not helping the circumstances recent reports indicating that the u.s. economy is not doing as well as anticipated manufacturing is at its lowest point since two thousand and nine the housing market is still experiencing a huge slump unemployment is spiraling here in the u.s. more than fourteen million americans are unemployed investors are also very concerned about how european leaders are handling the debt crisis in europe and the fact of what it's doing to the euro zone many believe that the right decisions are not being made and not being made quick enough clearly this is an indication that

three years after the financial collapse that started here in new york wall street in fact the rest of the world clearly that crisis continues to be having a huge impact on the lives of people all around the world those people that. were promised that three years later the economy would be doing much better and now all we see is that there are a lot of struggles taking place and it's not quite clear if any leader of any country knows how to handle this problem to stop all the volatility and turmoil and to bring confidence to investors. well fears of a repeat of the global financial crisis of two thousand and eight are spreading global panic factor jason johnson a professor of political science thinks only reassuring investors will save the u.s. from recession companies that have lost start value over the last two days or two weeks these companies aren't magically not working anymore it's just the people's

confidence is at an all time lows so it confidence does well we will see another recession of confidence improves the economy will grow your problem with that is when someone who actually wants to call it most of the u.s. right now is owned by china china is not about to reclaim the state of virginia they're not about to reclaim new york city by calling in their debts they primarily want to see america so you have legislation to be passed the united states if the president can sort some control and there's still some confidence in our future economy. inertia and inability right now to get the economy moving right now it looks like the chances of brock obama getting reelected are actually they're still better than fifty percent which would mean that markets that are concerned with investing right now they're going to feel more confident if it looks like obama's chances of being real like that are slim then everyone is going to get more risk if you don't know why do you want a new administration might act. now the turbulent markets don't just affect traders

of course with private investments and pension funds on the line our very own resident in new york as people there how they protect their savings. as the global economy continues to be volatile where do you feel like your money is safest this week let's talk about that do you have faith in the stock market are you kidding me. i love las vegas play blackjack or play roulette that's when you have a chance you have face and it's not too much but i'm still worried because they're . following if you haven't pulled out yet you know it will come back to show you have money invested. they don't trust it that much but i just haven't got the money if you have the cash now's the time to buy everything slow what if it just keeps crashing further if you have the money to lose you lose it if you don't don't play

it to you have money invested on best week of your hard times and everything in economy is not stable so i just at this present moment the stock market is not safe so where's your money matters the way it goes up and down it's really it's just. so i have no faith in it is that was why we play a game with our security. although your choices what are you going to do with your money you have put out of the mattress i don't think that's going to work too well but what about in gold you can put some in gold but warren buffett says you take something from. under the earth. and all the sudden you put dollars into it and you have to get your money back out from selling the gold so it doesn't make sense to me if things were to get to where you have to put your money in gold i don't think the u.s. government would allow. go to on the mind the currency so is there

a chance that we could go back to a system of artery or more local kind of exchanges of all things so right now we live in a new. where there. were these that was the money those that were is being with things going to the ends here with what's going on with the economy i think still the matter where you keep your money these days the bottom line is no place will ever be completely in violence. there are thirty one from moscow it's thirteen minutes past the hour coming up the sky's the limit. it's the two thousand and eleven a much air show just outside of moscow here with me rule receiver on t.v. it's really heating up out here high flying. jets putting massive g. forces i don't want you for hours i feel sick and dizzy i love it details to come stay with r.t. . also coming up exit stage left georgia dismisses its best known theater director

for comments made about president saakashvili. kim jong il has rolled into russia by train in a rare trip abroad for the north korean leader will be meeting president to meet me in three different talks in a few days time the visit comes as planned gang struggles under a set of western sanctions while military tension on the korean peninsula rumbles on our seas jake of greaves reports. thought that energy corporations like to be central to these discussions is something the president or his self has championed quite recently and when it comes these two countries are always in the background this is the issue of the denuclearization of north korea and russia heavily involved here in the six party talks are ongoing trying to meet that end goal because kim jong il himself wolf packs this is his third visit to russia its first occurring in two thousand and one and i was on the quest of prime minister vladimir

putin then president stayed for three weeks came back in two thousand and two it's the third time this time we've been invited by president better in fact the first time these leaders are going to meet face to face and that's expected to occur next week in the russian republic the reason for this timeline well he likes a trial by train isp a form of transport bomb a train in fact this whole beast it comes on the back of russia pledging fifty thousand tons of humanitarian aid to help with north korea's food shortage and the first batch just arrived yesterday in north korean ports. let's take a look now at some other news from around the world libyan rebels are closing in on the capital tripoli from both east and west it follows their statement that the strategic oil town of brega no under their full control after more than a week of fierce fighting this follows the recent rebel cow sure of a major oil refinery in zawiya as well as the city of

a civil war which started over six months ago with nato intervening in march has claimed the lives of over two thousand. a group of gunmen has ambushed a bus in karachi carrying plainclothes police officers killing at least six and injuring fifty three officers were on their way to carry out of rage when armed then surrounded them and opened fire it came as corrupt as police chief announced fifty two people have been killed in the city within the past three days since largest city has a long history of political and ethical violence over three hundred people were killed in karachi in july although. abbas has lost control and overturned on a mountain highway in southern afghanistan leaving thirty five people dead and injuring dozens some of them critically it happened just outside the city of kandahar on the main road from the capital officials say reckless driving is the most likely cause of the crash such accidents are common occurrences in the country

where rows and vehicles are often poorly maintained. over ten thousand people gathered in india's capital in support of a prominent activist who is on his fifth day of a hunger strike. says he is physically weak but will not renounce his fight demanding tougher anti-corruption laws campaigners started in jail after being arrested for planning a protest without police approval because arias says indians are fed up with the government driver with government bribery and has threatened to starve himself to death in parliament passes his legislation. twenty years to the day history was in the making here on the streets of moscow the city was under military curfew of the second day of an attempt to overthrow mikhail gorbachev then president of the soviet union argues tom burton looks back at the attempted coup that proved petal in the collapse of the u.s.s.r.

. twenty years ago today moscow was in turmoil tanks on the streets barricades mound outside the russian parliament the white house panic and anger were in the air and the soviet army came face to face with its own people. the first couple of days were pretty scary that's when we had to go to a key point in this city and protect them and there were crowds of people gathering and violence was on the verge of breaking out the coup plotters had isolated soviet leader mikhail gorbachev and seized control of media outlets but one reporter defied the k.g.b. officers in his news room. we switched on our t.v. camera with the huge march hope of being able to go in here tonight you can see barricades being erected. survey's report was shown and spread word of the democratic resistance developing around the reformist russian president boris yeltsin as the standoff continues through the nineteenth and twentieth of august

fears grew of an assault on the white house you know with the tanks and soldiers in the streets all of it's made you feel uneasy thinking what's going to happen in an hour what's going to happen at nighttime. those armored vehicles tried to ram their way through barricades and move into a road tunnel near the white house some of the protesters tried to stop the loop of kamar force her son dmitri was safe with a friend in fact he was manning the barricades. judging by documents that i've been able to see a noted mitri had climbed on my vehicle to cover its vision slits after doing that he jumped into the because re a hatch where he was shot. dimitri was only wounded but the vehicle then ran over his head killing him as two other protesters were shot in the mayhem. that guy was killed in front of thousands of people deserve we pumped out late at

the petrified by car their poor picture and bottles set in the more fire throwing them at the tanks the conspirators already wavering lost their nerve. the three men memorialized here public the martyrs for the democratic cause in fact expected assault on the white house never materialized but even before the violence which happened just mere few soldiers were bearing orders. my colleagues and i already saw that the coup was the ailing so after i got the orders to attack the white house and it ran yeltsin we decided we wouldn't do it. as the plotters admitted the bloodshed destroyed their cause the oldest coup had come close to succeeding but in the end it went the way of yeltsin and democracy tom bottom. well it's
