great. comfort to. you need. so much of what the police. go. on i'll see tonight tensions rise in the middle east there's a mass calls offered ceasefire with israel following days of deadly airstrikes on gaza. while here in israel activists are taking to the street they pay they believe the government is trying to use the complex to divert attention away from to make a problem and join me in a few moments and i'll bring you more. also is but another turbulent week for the world's markets is fears of mounting that 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. that it's all about max a get out of the international is shown in moscow where gravity defying action a lucrative deal making a picking up pace a day before the event a. welcome this is r t it's nine pm saturday evening here in moscow i'm kevin and our top story tonight hopes for a mideast peace agreement have been dealt a fresh blow with a mass announcing its pulling out of a defacto ceasefire with israel the statement follows two days of israeli air strikes on gaza that saw more than a dozen killed let's cross live now while she was pulled of with the latest paula how these most recent developments affecting what's already of course a volatile situation in the region. well kind of the back of it

to be had it's been an administration is that cairo is putting pressure to try and campaign sions on both sides we know that an initial agreement has been signed between tel aviv and cairo we have no details of that at the moment but we do know that the hit i'll be tooken mission was with the wall and he was called back and it was all support of egypt getting back its ambassador not convert has been insisting on any formal apology for his role it also says that it wants not only an expression of a great but once a commitment one as well that this kind of wind will not happen again the israeli defense minister has there that he was great the day you took him border guards who were killed in the latest spate of violence he also says he has ordered an immediate investigation this is just part of a bigger picture when we see tensions on the ground intensifying quickly at least fifteen palestinians have been killed in the past few days dozens have been injured while today alone some fifty grad and some rockets rained down on southern israel

dozens of israeli citizens have been injured so a lot of concern here in the region that this is if in eighteen and will continue just continue to fight for within the hour. they're going to be gathering for across israel is the way the government's handling this current flare violence likely to be criticized along with the other issues they've got with the government right now the way the. accident has started gathering here in tel aviv and in at least another five or six cities around as well we are expecting thousands of demonstrators to take to the streets tonight and they seem almost unanimous that they believe that the government were hoping and is hoping that this lation of violence could track attention away from social economic problems at home that's almost if we act as a soft spoken to says that the exact opposite is going to happen in fact the plan tonight is that them straight. it will be holding hands and they'll be marking

confinement in it in recognition and in memory of people of both sides who have been killed in the last few days of violence we do know that the middle east quartet has issued a statement not have condemned the attack on tuesday that sparked the initial state of violence next with an attack that left from eight israeli citizens killed it is also called on israel to stop the attack on the gaza strip with a cool kid saying that the cairo also needs to take responsibility for it within the fine i can internet he try and bring the security situation there under control the arab leaders all meeting tomorrow to discuss this is certainly a lot of international interest and a lot of international pressure in terms of what is happening here i'm sure what is this like this escalation of tension means the upcoming u.n. vote on palestinian statehood. well that's exactly what palestinians in polls are concerned about they are afraid that the israeli government is going to use this latest state of mind and argue that they shouldn't be recognition of

a palestinian state which is on the cards the next month in new york the israeli defense minister so you the israeli foreign minister avigdor lieberman who that the palestinians are not serious about peace keeping they are as serious as the distance from ramallah to new york not enough has been responded to with the word madness by palestinian leaders they say that it is outrageous that israel can go any kind of parallel between the q. and they say that it feeds into a particular point of view that is always trying to try and gone at international support not to see the palestinians to clear that they come september to schools for these policy thanks bring us up to date tonight from time. but it was voters really germans just have to an aide told me that if the crisis deteriorates and israel launches an offensive on gaza it might face domestic resistance as young people are reluctant to fight for the government. 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 how they would push if the demonstrations in the west bank get out of hand or get very violent i think that we'll see a reserve call up in israel which will directly affect the constituents of the temperature's keep in mind that most of the people protesting for social justice in the streets of felonies and ruthless are 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 he will be the temperature testers and they will have to ask serious questions about whether or not they're going to fight for a government that has so far ignored their demands for for economic reallocation inside of israeli society. this is a story would like your opinion until we very much value your thoughts on the ongoing events in the middle east if you'd like to let us know what you think they've got a website you can cast your vote right now on the reasons behind what you think is israel's attacks on gaza 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 that's despite president assad's claims that army operations against civilians have ended international pressure on the syrian leader is mounting despite moscow's refusal the u.s. mission to the bottom of this step the u.s. has imposed a fresh set of economic sanctions with the e.u. preparing more penalties targeting the country's oil sector then slow told us such measures could prove decisive. 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 closer to syria and russia is one such country and a very important country at that so i think the americans are 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 is the next important 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 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 project 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 europe into saying right now. still to come on our marking history it's twenty years since attempt to overthrow the so-called witch of the soviet union government was thwarted the second of our special series of reports from just. next the world stock markets 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 sell off at the end of last week here's artie's report now explains next 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 cost 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 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 in fact to 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. he said that there are a lot of struggles taking place and it's not quite clear if any leader of the any country knows how to handle this problem to stop all the volatility turmoil and to bring confidence to investors that his report now in new york fears of a repeat of the financial crisis of two thousand and eight are spreading global talk to jason johnson professor of political science it all the see things to night see the recession in the u.s. if investors aren't real sure. companies that have lost start your glass to gaze or two we used companies aren't magically not working any more it's just the people's confidence is at an all time lows so if confidence these what 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 us 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 here

legislation to be passed united states the president can. control and there's still some crawford's of our future economy. 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 there 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 reelected are slim then everyone's going to get more in your risk and you have no idea what a new administration might get out policy wise but several markets don't just affect traders of course with private investments and pension funds on the line our very own residence in new york us 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 faith 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 the you have money invested on best we cover the hard times and everything in the car to me is not stable so at this at this present moment the stock market is not safe so where's your money i do 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 that was why we play a game with our security. but what are your choices what are you going to do with your money or put out a mattress i don't think that's going to work too well what about in goals you can put seven goals like warren buffett says you take something from. one of the your you do get up and all the sudden you put dollars into it and you have to get your

money back. from selling the gold so it doesn't make sense to me no matter where you keep your money these days the bottom line is no place will ever be completely in violence. this is our to moscow coming up the star is the limit. it's the two thousand and eleven a much 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 massive g. forces up and watching it for hours i feel sick and dizzy i love it details to come stay with r.t. . for a. just a bit but kim jong il has rolled into russia by train in a rare trip aboard for the north korean leader he'll be meeting president i mean we've heard of talks in a few days time now but visit comes as pyongyang struggles under a set of western sanctions right now while military tension on the korean peninsula

continues to rumble on r.t. jake agrees reports. thought that energy corp is largely essential to these discussions is the something the president is selfish champion quite recently and when it comes to these two countries are always in the background this issue of the denuclearization of north korea and russia heavily involved here in the six party talks are ongoing trying to beat that end goal because kim jong il himself this is his third visit to russia is first occurring in two thousand and one and i was under 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 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 but the reason for this time like well kim jong il he likes a trial by train is spaded 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 of that just arrived yesterday in north korean ports. also in the headlines tonight libyan rebels are closing in on the capital tripoli after reportedly taking full control of the western city of zawiya they are now pushing colonel gadhafi troops back on the road to tripoli that's fifty kilometers to the east it follows the statement that the teacher called turn of brigade is now under their full control of the more than a week of fierce fighting the civil war which started over six months ago with makers of the march has claimed the lives of over two thousand people. a group of government bush the bus in karachi carrying plain clothes police officers it's killed at least six and injured fifty the offices are on their way to carrying out a raid when are surrounded them open fire became scratchings police chief announced fifty two people being killed in the city within the past three days pakistan's

here on the streets of moscow the city was not a military curfew then on the second day of an attempt to overthrow gorbachev then president of the soviet union. looks back at the attempted coup that prove pivotal in the collapse of the u.s.s.r. . twenty years ago today moscow was in turmoil tanks on the streets barricades mound outside the russian parliament the white house panic and anger were in the air and the 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 call and here tonight you can see barricades being erected. surveys 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 with 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 dimitriy was safe with a friend in fact he was manning the barricades. judging by documents that i've been able to see another dmitri had climbed on my vehicle to cover its mission 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 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 went berserk we pumped out later that petrified by car there poor patrons of bottles setting them afire frying them at the tanks the conspirators already wavering last of. 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 mere few soldiers were bearing orders. my colleagues and i already saw that the coup was failing so after i got the orders to attack the white house and it ran yeltsin we denied him as he decided we wouldn't do it. as the

plotters admitted the bloodshed destroyed because the august coup had come close to succeeding but in the end it went the way of yeltsin and democracy tom barton. it's twenty four hours to go now before the shoes international air show closes in the moscow region but nonetheless the action shows no sign of waning death defying instances multibillion dollar deals just some of the highlights with thousands of spectators watching you know all of the grand jury sushi's artie's out of the show . the back to two thousand and eleven international air show is in full swing look at this behind me this is the sukhoi thirty four ball. it's called the ball and then as we are mosey on down the tarmac here we have a couple of sukhoi thirty tactical fighter jets serious piece of russian military
