great. soldiers but the illegal. moscow. tensions rise in the middle east as miles calls often ceasefire with israel following days of deadly airstrikes on gaza. while here in israel demonstrated they think they're going ahead with a pro to describe what they believe is a government that came to use the conflict as a method of diverting attention away from internal problems join me for three hundred 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 but 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 i'll go

to russia which changed the course of history for the soviet union. and is all about maxing it out at the international air show near moscow where gravity defying action and lucrative deal making are picking up paste a day before the event wraps up. its seven pm in moscow this is r t coming to you live on noosa now with our 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 paul steer is following the latest developments. to mask that will no longer adhered to

a truce now they said it is no proof that these attacks which happened on thursday originated from god when they deny that despite the fact that israel insists that gaza is to blame 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 one is all to stop these attacks but the latest figures we have all come to steal palestinians who have been killed in a round of israeli airstrike that have been ongoing since late tuesday most israelis of the only way that it could be any. schools there was 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 from the israeli protest of the taken to speak demanding from the government that it is great both the economic problems organizers of these demonstrations say that this latest wave of violence is not unexpected a very much interested pay to the israeli government to keep 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 minds of victims of the violence and that they were still planning to go ahead tonight with a candlelight vigil station showing solidarity for those who had to fill it take a listen my we're going to march together in silence in order to respect the victims of this conflict we're very disappointed by the government we asked and thirty meters is that in size we use our pain in the darkness ghoshal caucus and we disagree with social programs 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 bilk our earlier we've heard some israeli foreign minister other don't even 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 in fact he said as far as ramallah is

from new york and i'm not bill shock 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 will vote past having said that later today the arab league will be nice in cairo to look at the latest violence and what can and should be done well the latest word we have is that cairo have decided to record the head of it diplomatic mission here in israel it was earlier talk of the egyptian ambassador being record 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 is this relationship with kyra's the chariot you will have is well you know very serious situation that most of its neighbors not all technically yet of war with the country in fact if you will cause here is what it's called for israelis to deal with what has been termed

a crisis very very sensitive meet the any israeli defense official also saying 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 deteriorate even further. for most of the barghouti a member of the palestinian parliament so israel's attempting to sample tiresome tempers vote at the u.n. for the palestinians won't be to terrorists. it's clear that israel is hoping that coalition which could go into a full scale war now aggression would divide here that it was in the united nations or to lead to an obstruction of the to completion of the palestinian independence a clear game israel has used borders before to run away from its political challenges and but we are going to continue to proceed to go to the united nations or more than that we saw there the palestinian authority has as the united nations

security council for an emergency meeting to take measures to restrain the israeli behavior. russian delegation has arrived in syria to assess the situation on the ground with reports of twenty new doubts during the latest spate of anti-government protests 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 refusal to court the u.s. initiative demanding that our side steps down and us has imposed process anomic sanctions with the e.u. preparing more penalties targeting the country's oil sector analyst james rhodes says such measures could prove decisive. 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 at that so i think the americans will now and the european

specially 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 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 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 r t this hour marking history it's twenty years since an attempt to overthrow mikhail gorbachev and the soviet union the government was thwarted and second our special reports is just ahead. 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 as archie's reported 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 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 interest 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 u.s.

and global economic growth they've 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 is 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 god 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. we see 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 the fears of a repeat the financial crisis of two thousand and eight are spreading global panic jason johnson a professor of political science things we might see a recession in the u.s. if investors aren't reassured the companies that have lost start by your glass to gaze at you we used companies aren't magically not working anymore it's just that people's confidence is at an all time lows so it confidence stays low we will see another recession of confidence improves the economy will grow the only problem

with that is when someone actually wants to call it or most of the us right now is owned by china or china it is not about to reclaim the state of virginia other not about to reclaim new york city by calling in their debts they primarily want to see america so here legislation to be passed united states the president can sort some control and there's still some confidence in our future economy and big debts are probably the inertia and inability right now to give the economy grew to right now it looks like the chances of brock obama getting reelected are actually they're still better than fifty percent which would mean less markets that are concerned with investing right now they're going to feel more confident if it looks like obama's chances of being reelected are slim then everyone is going to get more nervous risk and you know 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 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 with i love las vegas play blackjack or play roulette that's when you have a chance you have face i'm not too much but i'm still worried because they're. following tao but 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 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 own best we cover your hard times and everything in the car to me it's not stable so i just at this present moment the stock market

is not safe so where's your money. the way it goes up and down it's really it's just a case so i have no faith in it is that was why we play a game with our security well 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 but what about in gold you could put some in gold but warren buffett says you take something from. under the earth. and all that sort of put 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 somewhere you have to put your money in gold i don't think the u.s. government with a low. go through on the mind the currency is your chance that we could go back to a system of barter e more or less all kind of exchanges oh i don't think so right now we live in gaza

where there's the. muddy and that's where these numbers of money those that are is being worth being signs of and here with what's going on with the economy i think still no matter where you keep your money these days the bottom line is no place will ever be completely inviolate. coming up here on r t 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 we need major jets pulling g. forces but what you don't always i feel sick and dizzy i love it details to come stay with auntie. and exit stage last ga dismisses of its best known theater director over 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 anything
