and lucrative deal making are picking up pace on the penultimate day of the of them . fly from our headquarters in central moscow you're watching our team with me and he said 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 it's pulling out from a defacto cease fire with israel a statement comes in response to two days of israeli air strikes on gaza that's a lot more than a dozen killed the slayer is following the latest developments. mask 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 insists 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 is all to stop these attacks the latest figures we have all some sixteen palestinians who have been killed in a round of israeli air strikes that have been ongoing since late tuesday when most israelis of the afraid that they could be at a school full scale war between israel and gaza and when they lost conflict there were a number of casualties on both sides but having said that it is now more than a week from the israeli protesters have taken 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 paper that israeli governments would give anything to detract attention from their complaints and their concerns and earlier we spoke to one of the organizers who said that they were some defines the victims of the violence and that they were still planning to go ahead tonight with a candle and i think inspiration showing solidarity for those who had the hill to

take a listen to my group going to march together in silence in order to respect the victims of this conflict we were very disappointed by the government's reaction and then immediately said then tries to use our pain in the interest of this social process 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. resume the peace process is far from reality and he said it's as far as ramallah is from new york bill shaath and other palestinian leaders have said that this is madness and that israel is trying to use that as an excuse to not get that you are in the boat 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 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 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 if this relationship with cairo deteriorates you will have this one 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 in this one itself for israelis to deal with what is being termed a twice as a very very sensitive meet the any israeli defense official also said that the egyptian peace treaty was to quote him fundamental to israel's existence so certainly a lot of the lawn bells sounding here in tel aviv for fear that the current

situation could merely deteriorate 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 spite president asad claims that the army operations against civilians have ended the international pressure on the syrian leader is mounting despite my usual to support the u.s. mission is demanding that i said steps down to us as opposed to fresh set of economic sanctions with the e.u. preparing penalties targeting the country's oil sector analyst james denselow 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 that 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 is currently wrong so 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 it 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. still to come on our team this hour marking history it's twenty years to attempt to overthrow the whole good ritual in the soviet union the 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 massive selloff at the end of the week and. 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 inch and a 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 and 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 infected 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 will promise that three years later the economy would be doing much better and now all we see. see as 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 financial crisis of two thousand and eight are spreading global panic dr jason johnson a professor of political a tickle science thinks we might see a recession in the u.s. if investors are reassured the companies that have lost stock value over the last two days or two weeks these companies aren't magically 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 it 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 if legislation can be passed 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 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 or slim then everyone's going to get more nervous risk if you have no idea what a new administration might act policy what. 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 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 that 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 credit i'm still worried because they're. falling down but you haven't pulled out yet you know it will come back for show do you have money invested. they don't trust it that much or just haven't got the money if you have the cash now's the time to buy everything slow but 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 on best that we cover the hard times and everything in economy is not stable so i just at this present moment the stock market it's 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 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 and 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 goal itself doesn't make sense to me and 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 i think so right now we're living in the last days of gaza where less days there would be lever 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 in silence. coming up on our to the sky's the limit. it's the two thousand and eleven about to air show just outside of moscow here with me rule research a faulty oh it's really heating up out here high flying. jets pulling massive g. forces over what you thought i was i feel sick and dizzy i love it details to come stay with auntie. all through this our exit stage left georgia dismisses its best known theater director for 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 dmitri

jong il he likes a child by train a space of a 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. well the russian gas giant gazprom is in talks with north korean officials about laying a pipeline through the country one moscow based analyst told r.t. that moscow's efforts could help make the peninsula nuclear free. brusha wants to play a more. decisive more active role in the korean settlement and this is important enough 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 news broke out in this activity that russia has always supported the reduction of tensions between north and south

and we want to head. north over the solve attempts still make the situation more tense the demonstration of laughter raised by the your random enrichment facility as a leech war but we are already under the sense of regime so as to be an effectiveness of the senses sense and simply do much more and it's not a made in a medication for the korean crisis negotiations in the gate and the north the pressure and sanctions is also important that should north koreans receive the gas present gas from russia that will diminish their need for their nuclear power production even and peaceful purposes so that could be another argument in the for food in the clear was a sin of korean peninsula. it's coming up to seventeen minutes past the hour let's take a look at some other news from around the world for you libyan rebels are closing in on the capital tripoli and taking full control of the western city so we are now

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 it much hope of being able to go on air tonight you can see barricades being erected but it got surveys 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 well it's 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 night. as armored vehicles tried to ram

their way through barricades and moving to a road tunnel near the white house some of the protesters tried to stop the lubov qamar 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 a native any tree had climbed on my vehicle to cover its vision slits afternoon and he jumped into your hatch where he was shot at them. 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. we pumped out late as a paper from a nearby car their poor picture into bottles setting them off fire frying them in the tanks to construe it was already blazing rage last then of. 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 baying orders. my colleagues and i already saw that the coup was in leyland so i asked for i got the orders to attack the white house and apprehend yeltsin from a week in the animists he decided he wouldn't do it. as the plotters admitted the bloodshed destroyed their cause the oldest to put come close to succeeding but in the end it went the way of yeltsin and democracy thom bottom party. well it's a mere twenty four hours before this year's international air show closes in the moscow region but the action showing no sign of waning death defying air stance and multibillion dollar deals are just some of the highlights with thousands of spectators watching it all on the ground where is to say. archies main man at the

soviet era aircraft and with a price tangled around twenty five million dollars per piece which is around twenty percent cheaper than its main rivals there's interest in the super jet for foreign airlines as well generally as a flying experience is no different to flying around europe in any kind of months down to a couple of little quip goes over well saying nifty melech rough spot it's developers say they will continue working on the super jet to help it get rid of any teething problems and with the line of orders already secured the promise to deliver over one hundred sixty planes by the end of twenty sixty hugo is going to moscow region . well or more about the stars of the biannual international air show on our website r.t. dot com you can also get the latest updates and videos on all our stories.
