it's also risen artsy tensions rise in the middle east as the mass calls offered ceasefire with israel following days of deadly airstrikes on gaza. now here in israel given state of play by play going ahead with the protests despite that they believe in a government that came to use the conflict as a method archive bursting attention away from internal problems join me here in a few moments and i'll bring you more. also has been another turbulent week for the world's markets as fears of mounting for the u.s. and europe are on the brink of a devastating downturn. we continue our coverage marking the twentieth anniversary of the attempted coup against mikhail gorbachev which changed the course of history

for the soviet union. our it's all about maxing it out of the internationalist show to moscow where gravity defying out should on lucrative deal making moreover a picking up pace the day before the event and. welcome this is r t it's a pm saturday evening here in moscow my name's kevin owen and i've got the top story for you this hour hopes for a mideast peace agreement to bring tales of fresh blow with hamas announcing its pulling out from a defacto ceasefire with israel that statement comes in response to two days of israeli air strikes on gaza that saw more than a dozen killed paul asli is following the latest developments for us. and that's there that will no longer end here to a truce now they said it is no proof that these attacks which happened on thursday

originated from gaza or in fact they deny that despite the fact that israel insists that there is to blame not 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 the latest figures we have seen palestinians who had been killed in a round of israeli airstrikes that have been ongoing since late tuesday while most israelis are very afraid that there 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 four weeks since 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 anticipated that the israeli government would use anything to distract attention from their complainers and their concerns and earlier we spoke to one of

the organizers who said that they were complying with the victims of the violence and that they were still planning to go ahead tonight with a candle when i didn't stray shouldn't showing solidarity for those who have been killed it's taken us and tonight we're going to march together in silence you know let's respect the extent of this conflict we're very disappointed by the government's reaction and that immediately said and tried to use our pain in order to stop this social protest and we disagree the social crisis 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 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 in fact he said it as far as ramallah is from new york now and i feel 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 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 what the latest word we have is that cairo has decided to record the head of it diplomatic mission here in israel it was earlier talk of the egyptian ambassador being record let me 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 its relationship with chi was a cheery if you will have this running a very serious situation that most of its neighbors now will typically be at war with the country in fact i think it will cause here it is what it felt for israelis to deal with what has been termed a crisis very very interactively 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 alarm bells sounding here in tel aviv for fear that the current situation could merely to carry eight even further. correspondent tell of you that is because some more analysis of the situation the middle east and talk to journalists joining us live from tel aviv as well joseph thanks for talking to artsy international palestinian officials so that israel doesn't stop the airstrikes on gaza or it could lead to another war how likely is that scenario do you think tonight. i would not so war of words to use i think that it could lead to an israeli offensive in the gaza strip now it's very alarming that israel has yet to establish authority. yet excuse me yet to establish responsibility for these attacks in

a lot they have initially said that the p.r.c. the popular resistance community committees were responsible for these attacks but they today the i.d.f. spokesman has distanced themselves from these statements and so we don't really know who is behind these attacks and yet israel is conducting air strikes against gaza as we speak. to the does seem to be submissive from a should just clarify what you saying that progress and the claim that the palestinian government was actually at the same the israeli defense ministry the i.d.f. said that was never the case is this just misinformation oh well what's the on this confusion. what we don't know what's behind this confusion but we need to demand that the israeli government prove factually that that the p.r.c. or elements inside the gaza strip are in fact responsible for these horrific terror attacks on israeli citizens and if they're unable to prove that there are serious questions that need to be raised about why israel is conducting air strikes in the

gaza strip as we speak israel's of course as well expressed regret for the killing of those five egyptian border guards is that an indication maybe of how much it needs egypt's support its continued support right now we'll talk of course that cairo could be the game the main negotiator of a cease fire between mass and israel. while i think the view gyptian is are are coming to prominence after their revolution in a new and fundamentally different way and then they have been the fact that they were able to push forward with a reconciliation agreement between hamas and fatah without the support of the u.s. or in fact without the u.s. involvement at all is significant and israel must be raising serious questions internally about what this new egypt is going to mean for the israeli people. but you ation as well as for the palestinian statehood push in september this year i

was tired because as well as ready activists are getting ready to take to the streets in a peaceful protest tonight against the way that they see their government dealing with domestic problems how much are they likely to criticize prime minister netanyahu for his handling of this recent flare up as well as those internal other domestic issues that the right on the streets about. i think that there will be very significant calls against netanyahu and i think that the protesters will rally behind these renewed airstrikes in gaza as proof that the government is unwilling or unable to deal with their demands now it should be noted that during these protests that have been shaking israel for the last month israel has conducted air freight thinking in gaza the air strikes that are going on now are indeed dramatic and aggressive but this is nothing new and so i think it's a bit of geishas for the temperate testers to argue that the air strikes happening in gaza right now are in connection to their social justice movement or anything

like that but how does this all fit in with that backed up of course of the votes on palestinian state soju to take place in the u.n. next month that's going to affect that. well we don't know exactly how it's going to affect it yet the palestinians in the west bank or are planning major demonstrations for this coming friday and so i think that the next week is going to be an incredibly important dramatic and almost volatile week in this region especially in terms of the power in the end it would push if the demonstrations in the west bank get out of hand or get very violent i think that will be a reserve call up in israel which will directly affect the constituents of the temperature just keep in mind that most of the people protesting for social justice in the streets of tel aviv and jerusalem car of age to go into the reserves and so if there is a call up for either a. ground invasion into gaza or any sort of outbreak of violence in the west bank

it will be the ten protesters and they will have serious questions about whether or not they're going to fight for a government that has so far ignored their demand for for economic reallocation inside an israeli society very close closely following events and of course our cameras will be on the streets later as well to see how those protests pan out but for now journalist joseph diana thanks for commercial thoughts from tel aviv tonight. and staying in the middle east a russian delegation's arrived in syria to assess the situation on the ground with reports of dozens of new deaths during the latest spate of anti-government protests despite president assad's claims that army operations against civilians have ended the international pressure on the syrian leader meantime is mounting despite moscow's refusal to support the u.s. initiative. the u.s. is impose a fresh set of sanctions economic sanctions with the e.u. preparing no penalties targeting the country girls. and listing ten slow told or such measures could prove decisive. americans have been very clear they know their

implements and ability to change their behavior is limited they've always said that how 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 right now in europe in specially really have to work hard to persuade the russians they are right on syria and russia is currently wrong for that if the next important that i think we should focus on one particular element which is really important could go either way serious oil exports of the present about ninety percent or so serious 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 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 europeans are saying right now this is r.t. international still to come this marking and making history it's twenty years since

an attempt to probe the trough of the soviet union's government goes through the store to dig up a second of our special reports coming up just ahead. well stock market supply 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 sell off at the end of the week as it is more important or explains no 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 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 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 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 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 always. 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 to investors. well fears of a repeat of the financial crisis of two thousand and eight are spreading global panic dr jason johnson is a professor of political science he told us he thinks we might see a recession in the u.s. if investors aren't reassured. companies that have lost start value over the last

two days or two weeks companies aren't magically not working anymore it's just that people's confidence is at an all time lows so it confidence these hope 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. right now is on by china china it is not about to reclaim that state or region you're not about to reclaim new york city by calling in their debts they primarily want to see america so you're not just leasing to the past united states if the president can sort some control and there's still some confidence in our future economy 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 barack obama getting real life that are actually there is still better than fifty percent which would mean that markets that are conservative investing right now they're going to feel a bit more confident if it looks like obama's chances of being real like that are slim and everyone's going to get more in your response you know no idea when you're

ministration might get out policy but. this is are 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 for our team it's really heating up out here high flying with major jets putting passive g. forces and watching it for hours i feel sick and dizzy i love it details to come stay with r.t. . the best job of the day we want to use kim jong il has rolled into russia by train in a rare trip aboard for the north korean leader he'll be meeting president of the two preventive talks in a few days time if it comes as pyongyang struggles on the reset of western sanctions while militant tension on the korean peninsula rumbles on greeves reports . thought that energy corporations like to be central to these discussions is the something the president or his self has championed quite recently and when it comes these two countries are always in the background this is the 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 one and i was on the quest of prime minister vladimir putin ben president stay for three weeks came back in two thousand so it's the third time this time we've been barred 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 of korea the reason for this timeline while kim jong il he likes a trial by train is a form of transport on the train in fact this whole visit comes on the back of russia pledging fifty thousand tons of humanitarian aid to help of north korea's food shortage and the first batch of just arrived yesterday in north korean ports. for news stories in brief libyan rebels are closing in on the capital tripoli

. twenty years ago today moscow was in turmoil tanks on the streets barricades around outside the russian parliament the white house panic and anger were in the under 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 switched on our t.v. camera without much hope of being able to corner 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 continued through the nineteenth and twentieth of august fears grew of an assault on the white house you know all of 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 and might. those 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 fought 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 and know that mitri 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 run over his head killing him as two other protesters were shot in the mayhem.

that guy was killed in front of thousands of people went berserk we punched out later that petrified only by car the airport picture and bottles setting them off 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 expected assault on the white house never materialized but even before the violence which happened just here few soldiers were paying orders. my colleagues and i already saw the coup was failing so after i got the order start sack the white house and it ran yeltsin we unanimously decided we wouldn't do it. as the plotters admitted the bloodshed destroyed because the oldest coover to come close to succeeding but in the end it went the way of yeltsin on democracy tom box and. it's less than twenty four hours now before this year's international air show
