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 new so 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 earlier is following the latest developments. the masses 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 gaza 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 are some sixteen palestinians who have been killed in a round of israeli air strikes that have been ongoing since late tuesday when most israelis the very afraid that they could be a. full scale war between israel and gaza than 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 protesters have taken to the streets 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 anticipated that the israeli government 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 would still planning to go ahead tonight with a candle and i finished ration showing solidarity for those who had the hill to

take a listen to 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's reaction and that emitters the seven tries to use our pain in the interest of this social process and we disagree with the show cause and 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 in fact he said as far as ramallah 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 get that you in a 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 for 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 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 if 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 is being termed a twice as a very very sensitive meet the any 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. dr most of the barghouti a member of the palestinian parliament says israel is attempting to sabotage september's vote at the u.n. but the palestinians won't be to tears. it's clear that israel is hoping that this coalition which could go into a full scale war now and aggression would divide here that it was in the united nations or to leave through an obstruction of that a combination of the palestinian independence secondly a game israel has used borders before what i now hear from its political challenges and but we are going to continue to proceed to go to the united nations or more than that we do there the palestinian authority has asked the united nations security council for an emergency meeting to take measures to restrain the israeli behavior. 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 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 process anomic sanctions with the e.u. preparing more penalties targeting the country's oil sector analyst james denselow 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 that are closer to syria and russia is one such country and a very important country at that so i think the americans are now in the european specially really have to work hard to persuade the russians that they are right on syria and that 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 r t this hour marking history it's twenty years since an attempt to overthrow mikhail gorbachev and the soviet union's government was thwarted the second of 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 artie's 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 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 and 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 the 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 that 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 were promised that three years later the economy would be doing much better and now all

. 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 the fears of a repeat financial crisis of two thousand and eight are spreading global panic dr 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 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 will the only problem with that is when someone actually wants to call 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 you have legislation to be passed united states if

the president can sort some control and there's still some confidence in our future economy the big debts are less of a problem the inertia and inability right now to get the economy moving 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 less 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 then everyone's going to get more nervous risk if you have no idea what a new administration might act policy wise. the turbulent markets don't just affect trainers 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 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 credit 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 i 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 further if you have the money to lose you lose it if you don't don't play it do you have money invested only best but we cover the hard times and everything and 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 both up and down it's really it's just. so i have no faith in it is it 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. on 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. from selling the goal itself 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 of gaza where the last 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 violence.

coming up here on r t the sky's the limit. it's got two thousand and eleven a show just outside of moscow here with me rule research a faulty oh it's really heating up out here high flying major jets putting. up what you can always i feel sick and dizzy i love it details to come stay with auntie. and exit stage left georgia 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 to meet them is very different talks in a few days time the visit comes as pyongyang struggles under a set of western sanctions while military tensions on the korean peninsula rumbles on jacob griefs reports. i thought that energy corp is largely essential

to these discussions some of the present matter is selfish championed 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 wolf packs 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 so it's the third time this time he's been invited by president 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 . the reason for this timeline while kim jong il he likes a child by train it's a form of transport arm a train in this whole visit comes on the back of russia pledging fifty thousand
