gravity defying outshone and lucrative deal making are picking up pace on the penultimate day of the of that. it's five pm in moscow this is r t coming to life i mean he said no way with your top story hopes for a mideast peace agreement have been dealt a fresh blow with hamas announcing its pulling out from a de facto cease fire with israel the statement comes in response to two days of israeli air strikes on gaza that saw more than a dozen killed archies paulus liras following the latest developments. a match that will no longer adhered to a truce now they say that there is no proof that these attacks which happened on thursday originated from gaza in fact they deny that despite the fact that israel in says that it was or is to blame now the palestinian president mahmoud abbas is calling for an emergency united nations security council meeting he's calling on

the international community to denounce and to call on israel to stop these attacks the latest figures we have are some sixteen palestinians who have been killed in a round of israeli air strikes that have been ongoing since late tuesday well most israelis are very afraid that they 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 two weeks from israeli protesters are taking to the streets asking and demanding from the government that it is great they socio economic problems organizers of these demonstrations say that this latest wave of violence is not unexpected they very much interest the pater that israeli governments would use anything to detract attention from their complaints and their concerns and earlier we spoke to one of the organizers he said that they were some defined as a victims of violence and that they would still planning to go ahead tonight with a candle i finished ration showing solidarity for those who had the hill to take

a listen. we're going to march together in silence in order to respect the victims of this conflict we're very disappointed by the government's reaction and that emitters the seven tries to use their pain in the has to stop this special caucus and we disagree the social process 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 at the door lieberman and to quote him he said that the palestinian authority was responsible 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. as you know the peace process is often reality and that it's as far as ramallah is from new york bill shock and other palestinian leaders has said that this is madness and that israel 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 what can and should be done while the latest word we have is that cairo has decided to record the head of its diplomatic mission here in israel it 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 that egypt and jordan are the only countries here who are neighbors of israel that the israeli government has diplomatic relations with it's this relationship with cairo deteriorates you will have this one in a very serious situation that most of its neighbors now will technically be at war with the country in fact if you simple cause here in this world itself for israelis to deal with what has been termed a twice as a very very sustained sort of meet the end israeli defense official also saying 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. a u.n. a delegation is heading to syria to assess the situation on the ground there with reports of twenty new deaths during the latest spate of anti-government protest that's despite president answers claims that the army operations against civilians have ended the international pressure on the syrian leader is mounting despite moscow's for a future probe u.s. initiative demanding that arthur steps down and has imposed. economic sanctions with the e.u. preparing 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 have been very clear they know their influence and ability to change their behavior is limited they've always said that have to reach out to countries who are closer to syria and russia is one such country and a very important country so i think the americans will now europeans especially really have to work hard to persuade the russians that they are right on syria and

russia is currently wrong for that is the next important step and i think we should focus on one particular element which is really important could go either way syria's 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 they will no longer accept syrian oil now syrian oil makes up some a 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. well still to come this hour on r t marking history it's twenty years since an attempt to overthrow. the soviet union's 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 in sparked a massive sell off at the end of the week as. i explained 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 were saying their predictions for u.s. and global economic growth they cut 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 that 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 the fact of what it's doing to the euro zone many believe that did 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 back to investors. well fears of a repeat of the global financial crisis of two thousand and eight are spreading global panic dr jason johnson a professor of political science thinks only reassuring investors will save the u.s. from recession. companies that have lost value over the last two days or two weeks these companies aren't magically not working anymore it's just that people's confidence is at an all time lows so if confidence stays low we will see another recession of confidence improves the economy will the only problem with that is when someone actually wants to call it or most of the u.s.

debt 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 it would just lasing to be past united states if the president can sort some control and there's still some confidence in our future economy big debts are less of a problem than people's inertia and inability right now to get the economy moving right now it looks like the chances of barack obama getting real like that are actually they're still better than fifty percent which would mean less markets that are concerned with investing right now now they're going to feel a bit more confident if it looks like obama's chances of being reelected are slim then everyone's going to get more nervous risk if you have no idea what a new administration might act policy wise 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 they are how they protect their savings.

as the global economy continues to be valid and where do you feel like your money and they think this week let's talk about that the you have faith in that that might get you kidding me. i'll go with i love las vegas play blackjack or play roulette that's when you have a chance you have face i mean it's not too much but i'm still worried because they're. falling down but you haven't pulled out yet you know it'll come back for show you have money invested. they don't trust it that much. just haven't got the money if you have the cash now's the time to buy everything but what if it just keeps crashing for that you have the money to lose you lose it if you don't don't play it do you have money invested own best but we cover the hard times and everything in academy is not stable so i just at this present moment the stock market is not safe so where's your money under my mattress the way it goes up and

down it's really it's just. so i have no faith in it is there was a why we play a game with our security. well what are 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 and go like warren buffett says you take something from. under the earth you dig it up and all of a 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 that bad 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 bartering or more local kind of exchanges of all things so right now we're living in the last days in gaza where the last days there would be love of

money and that's what is that was the money flows that we're seeing we're seeing signs of the end here with what's going on with the economy i think so no matter where you keep your money these days the bottom line is no place will ever be completely inviolate. there are thirty line from moscow it's thirty minutes past the hour coming up the sky's the limit. it's the two thousand and eleven a max air show just outside of moscow here with me rule research a faulty oh it's really heating up out here high flying. jets putting massive g. forces i've been watching it i was i feel sick and dizzy i love it details to come stay with aunty. also coming up exit stage left georgia dismisses its best known theater director over comments made about president. 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 three different talks in a few days time the visit comes as struggles under a set of western sanctions while military tension on the korean peninsula rumbles on parties jacob grieves reports. thought that energy corp is largely central to these discussions is something the president or his self is championed quite recently and when it comes these two countries are always in the background this is 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 would have found if this is his third visit to russia it's first occurring in two thousand and i was on the quest of prime minister vladimir putin then president stay for three weeks came back in two thousand and two it's the third time this time he's been invited by prism it better that's the first time these leaders are going to meet face to face and that's expected to occur next week in

the russian republic with the reason for this timeline well kim jong il he likes a child by training space form of transport armor train in fact this whole visit 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 of that 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 craig now under their full control after more than a week of fierce fighting this follows the recent rebel couch a major oil refinery in zawiyah as well as the city of new found a civil war which started over six months ago with nato intervening in march has claimed the lives of over two thousand people. a group of gunmen have ambushed

a bus in karachi carrying plainclothes police officer killing at least six and injuring fifty three officers were on their way to carry out of rage when an army man surrounded them and opened fire it came as crutches police chief announced fifty two people have been killed. in the city within the past three days pakistan's largest city has a long history of political and ethical violence over three hundred people were killed in karachi in july although. a bus 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 have 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 his first 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 unless 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 archies tom barton looks back at the attempted coup that proved pivotal in the collapse of the u.s.s.r. . twenty years ago today moscow was in turmoil tanks on the streets barricades manned 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 key points in the city and protect them 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've switched on our t.v. camera without much hope of being able to go on air 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 thank you know with the tanks and soldiers in the streets all of it made you feel uneasy thinking what's going to happen in an hour

what's going to happen at night. as 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 them lubov kamar thought 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 another dmitri had climbed on my vehicle to cover its vision slits after the and that he jumped into the vehicle three 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 who went berserk we pumped out late as a petrifying nearby car they're pouring picture into bottles set in the more fire throwing them at the tanks the conspirators already wavering lost their nerve.

the three men memorialized here have become martyrs for the democratic cause in fact the expected assault on the white house never materialized but even before the violence which happened just mere few soldiers were being orders. my colleagues and i already saw that the coup was failing so after i got the orders to attack the white house and apprehend yeltsin we unanimously decided we wouldn't do it you know what are you. as the plotters admitted the bloodshed destroyed cause the oldest who had come close to succeeding but in the end it went the way of yeltsin and democracy tom boxen. well it's a mere twenty four hours before the serious international air show closes in the moscow region but the actions showing no sign of waning death defying air stunts and multibillion dollar deals are just some of the highlights with thousands of

spectators watching in on the ground wars to shay's artes man at the show. the max two thousand and eleven international air show is in full swing look at this beauty behind me this is the sukhoi thirty four bomber looks more like a tactical fighter jet but it is called the bomber and then as we mosey on down the tarmac here we have a couple of sukhoi thirty tactical fighter jets serious piece of russian military aviation hardware right here as we are enjoying the two thousand and eleven international air show the weather is not perfect yet the crowds are still here to see the shows fighters cargo planes helicopters noises beyond noises here we were watching the french rafael fighter putting some radical turns and twists in the one point i did think it was going to end an absolute tragedy disaster but of course these pilots are professionals and you can try to simulate the machines they are here as well as i have a go flying perhaps an f.
