tensions rise in the middle east just a mouse comes off its cease fire with israel following days of gently air strikes on gaza. while here it is well demonstrated david thanks going ahead with the protests despite what they believe is a government that came to keep the use of conflict as a method of diverting to pension away from internal problems join me put it here in a few moments and i'll bring you more. it's been another turbulent week for the world's markets as fears are mounting 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 me cold goodbye to all of its changed the course of history for the soviet union.

and it's all about maxing it out at the international air show your moscow where gravity defying action and lucrative deal making are picking up pace on the penultimate day of the of them. live from our headquarters in central moscow you're watching our team with me and he's now a thanks for being with us our top story this hour 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 a thought more than a dozen killed or if he's pulled the spear is following the latest developments. a method that will no longer adhered to a truth now they said that there is no proof to back these attacks which happened

on thursday originated from god in fact they denied it despite the fact that israel insists that it's god's or is to blame and 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 quote on is all to stop these attacks the latest because we have asked fifteen palestinians who have been killed in a round of israeli airstrikes that have been ongoing since the late date most afraid of the raid that it could be a school 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 weeks and israeli protest is the taking to the streets demanding from the government that it is great the economic problems organizers of these demonstrations say that this latest wave of violence is not unexpected is very much interest to pay to that israeli government would use anything to detract attention from their complainers

and their concerns and earlier we spoke to one of the organizers and that they work with the victims of the violence and that there was still planning to go ahead tonight with a candle wife denise gratian showing solidarity for those who had the hill is taken to see my we're going to march together in silence in order to respect the victims of this conflict we're rosenker appointed by the government reacts and then immediately said and tries to use their pain you know as an inspirational conference 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 and silchar earlier we heard from israeli foreign minister avigdor 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 . resume the peace process is far from reality and he said it that as a mother is from new york not

a bill shock and other palestinian leaders have said that this is madness and that israel is trying to use this as an excuse to not engage that you are both parties 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 for the latest word we have is that cairo has decided to record the head of it took a magic mission here in israel it was only a tool of the egyptian ambassador being recorded so see 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 kyra's is here it is we'll have this one in a very serious situation that most of its neighbors not all technically and you have to do with the country in fact if you simple cause here in this world itself for israelis to deal with what has been termed its crisis is there

a very extensively the any israeli defense official also said that the egyptian peace treaty was to quote him fundamental keep israel's existence so certainly a lot of the lawn bells sounding here in tel aviv for fear that the current situation could merely to to relate even further. a russian delegation has arrived in syria to assess the situation on the ground with reports of twenty new deaths during the latest spate of anti-government protests that's just by president asad claims that the army operation against civilians had ended the international pressure on the syrian leader is mounting despite my usual to support the u.s. mission is demanding that us and steps down the u.s. will post a fresh set of economic sanctions would be e.u. preparing penalties targeting the country's oil sector analysts changed 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 in europe and especially really have to work hard to persuade the russians that they are right on syria and russia was clearly 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 that they will no longer accept syrian oil now syrian oil makes up some a quarter of syria's hard currency budget so could not 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 europeans are saying right now. still to come on our to this hour marking history it's twenty years since an attempt to overthrow become a good ritual in the soviet union's government was thwarted the second of our

special reports is just ahead for you. 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 and sparked a mass selloff at the end of the week and as i explained the global economic fears continue to build. investors around the world they 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 we've seen use 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 inch 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 by 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 us 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 the right decisions are not being made are 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 it infected the rest of the world we believe 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 always. he said 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 financial crisis of two thousand and eight are spreading global panic attacks are jason johnson a professor of political little science thinks we might see a recession in the u.s. if investors are reassured the companies that have lost stock value or glass to. these companies are naturally not working any more 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 the only problem with that is when someone actually wants to call it or 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 if legislation can be passed united states if the president can sort some control and there's still some confidence in our future economy that's robust of people's inertia and inability right now to get the economy and we were right now it looks like the chances of brock obama getting real like that 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 a bit more confident if it looks like obama's chances of being reelected are slim everyone's going to get more in your risk if you don't know why do you want to do administration might get out policy. particular markets don't just affect traders

of course with private investments and pension funds on the line our very own president in new york asked 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'll go to washington 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. showing doubt but you haven't pulled out yet you know it will come back for show you have money invested not. just about much but i just i'm got the money if you have the cash now's the time to fire things like 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 do you have money invested own 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 under my mattress the way it goes up and down it's really it's just a game so i have no faith in it is it was a why we play a game with our security paul what are your choices what are you going to do with your money you put on a mattress i don't think that's going to work too well what about in gold you can put some in gold like warren buffett says you take something from. only your. dollars into it and you have to get your money back. 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 and go i don't think the u.s. government would allow. goal to undermine the currency so is there

a chance that we could go back to a system of artery or more local kind of exchanges oh i don't think so right now with regard to whether there. will be enough with these that was the money that we're seeing risk being kind of the end here with what's going on with the economy and i think the better where you keep your money these days the bottom line is no place will ever be completely in five. coming up on our t.v. the sky's the limit. it's the two thousand and eleven a much air show just outside of moscow here with me rule research a faulty oh it's really heating up out here high flying pager jets pulling g. forces i think what you thought i was i feel sick and dizzy i love it details to come stay with aussie. also this hour exit stage left georgia dismisses its best known theater director for comments made about the president

a strange. kim jong il has rolled into russia by train in a rare trip abroad for the north korean leader of the meeting president dmitri needs major for talks in a few days time and this comes as young struggles under a set of western sanctions military tension on the korean peninsula rumbles on archie's great reporters. it's thought that energy corp is largely central to these discussions is some of the present major selfish champions quite recently and when it comes to 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 this is his third visit to russia his 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 prison facts 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 time lag well control yorkie like the trial by train is a form of transport. 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 just arrived yesterday in north korean ports well the russian gas giant gazprom is in talks with north korean officials about laying a pipeline through the country on a moscow based analyst told r.t. that moscow's efforts could help make the peninsula nuclear free. brush and also play a more. decisive more active role in the korean settlement and this is important to north korea as well it's an open secret that north korea don't want to be too much

dependent on china in its confrontation with the u.s. and south korea and russia is the hope of the whole is broken and this activity with russia has always supported the a reduction of pensions between north and south and we are not headgear the way bit north over the south tam still make the situation more tense the there must ration of love to raise by the iranian enrichment facility as a leech was probably already under the sanctions regime and so so the and effectiveness of the census census to people is more and it's not a myth in the middle east or for the korean crisis negotiations in the good and the north the pressure and sanctions is also important that should not koreans receive the gas present gas from russia that would diminish their need for their nuclear power production even in peaceful purposes so that could be another argument in the for food the nuclear was ation of korean peninsula. it's coming up
