well from moscow welcome for me kevin no internet you're watching r t it's now ten pm this saturday evening our top story hopes for a mideast peace agreement have been dealt a fresh blow with a mass announcing its pulling out from a defacto cease fire with israel the statement follows two days of israeli air strikes on gaza that saw more than a dozen killed paula slayer reports. iraq is putting pressure to try and calm tensions on both sides we know that an initial agreement had been signed between tel aviv and cairo we have no details of that at the moment commer has been insisting on and a formal apology from israel it also says that if one cannot open expression of a great set of once a commitment from as well that this kind of wind will not happen again the israeli defense minister would be a rock has there that he would great the day of european border guards who were killed in the latest state of violence he also says he has ordered an immediate

investigation this is just part of the bigger picture when we keep tensions on the ground intensifying quicky 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 concerns here in the region that this is and will continue just to intensify its active have started gathering here in tel aviv and in it and out of five or six cities around israel they believe that the government was hosting and is hoping that this its relation of violence to detract attention away from social economic problems at home that's almost if we have to the soft spoken to says that the exact opposite is going to happen in fact the plan tonight is that demonstrators will be holding candles and they'll be marching in five and it recognition and in memory of people of both sides who has been killed in the last few days of violence we do

know that the middle east quartet has issued a statement while it condemns the attack comes to say that solves the initial states of violence and that was an attack at least some eight israeli citizens killed it is also called on israel to stop its attacks on the gaza strip with a call to say that the cairo also needs to take responsibility to step up efforts in the sinai peninsula to cry and bring the security situation there and to control the arab league is also meeting tomorrow to discuss this is certainly a lot of internet. national interest and a lot of international pressure in terms of what is happening here how it's going in to not afraid that the israeli government is going to use this bait of mine and to argue that they shouldn't be recognition of a palestinian state which is on the cards for next month in new york in the israeli foreign minister avigdor lieberman say that this is proof that the palestinians are not serious about peace now this has been responded to with the word madness by palestinian leaders they say that it could be into their particular point of view

that islam is trying to fly and gone to international support not to see the palestinians declare that they come september or mideast correspondent paula slee of their will israeli journalist told me that if the crisis to some israel launches an offensive on gods or it might face domestic resistance as young people there are reluctant to fight for the government. i think that the next week is going to be an incredibly important dramatic and almost a volatile week in this region especially in terms of the palestinian statehood push if the demonstrations in the west bank get out of hand or get very violent i think that will feel a reserve call up in israel which will directly affect the constituent of the temperature's keep in mind that most of the people protesting for social justice in the streets of tel aviv and jerusalem 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 it

will be the ten protesters 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. well of course we value your opinion on the events of the middle east go to our website there you can cast your vote on the reasons behind israel's attacks in gaza at the moment if you voted so far over the last hour seems hard for you believe that the latest attacks are overweight or sabotage next month's un vote on palestinian statehood that so the votes are piling out there on your chart nineteen percent of you thinking that the attacks are an act of defense and that israel simply wants to protect its own people and again as you can see that twenty seven percent say it's not too late to provoke a response from the palestinians minority of just four percent this think that israel is trying to divert attention from its domestic problems you could make the change that this know what you think it's good to hear from you go home tonight. saying in the middle east a russian delegation's arrived in syria to assess the situation on the ground there

with reports of dozens of new deaths during the latest spate of anti-government protests despite president assad's claims that operations against civilians that ended the international pressure on the syrian leaders mounting to despite moscow's refusal to support us and demanding that assad step down the u.s. has imposed a fresh set of hundreds. sanctions would be you preparing more penalties targeting the country's oil sector analyst james denselow told the such views a moves now 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 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 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 they will no longer accept syrian oil now syrian oil makes up some 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 this hour on our marking history is twenty years since the tenth overthrow mikhail gorbachev of the soviet union's government was thwarted we got a second of our special series of reports coming of you just ahead. next the 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 it sparked a massive sell off at the end of last week as artie's report now 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 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 the european leaders are handling the debt crisis in europe the fact of what it is 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 it 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

we see. he said 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 that is going to put new york for us well indeed fears over repeat of the financial crisis of two thousand and eight a spreading global panic talk to jason johnson's a professor of political science he said he 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 low 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 or 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 it just leasing to be passed 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 than 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 still better than fifty percent which would mean that 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 because you have no idea what a new administration might act policy wise and the term of the market is not just of course affect traders with private investments and pension funds on the line it affects all of us and our very own resident in new york us people there they're protecting their savings right now. 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 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 on best we cover the hard times and everything in the car to me 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 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 have put out of the mattress i don't think that's going to work too well but what about in gold's you could put seven goals like warren buffett says you take something from. under the earth you dig it up and all the sudden you put dollars into it and you have to get your money back out from selling the gold so it doesn't make sense to me if things were to get 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 more more local kind of exchanges of all things so right now we live in an. where there's the. money and that's where the is that was the money though that lowers the we're seeing signs of the end here with what's going on in 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. more from the resident next week coming up here 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 r t it's really heating up out here high flying maneuvers major jets pulling massive g. forces i've been watching you for hours i feel sick and dizzy i love it details to come stay with r.t. . all the day's work they say more from bit later kim jong il has rolled into russia by train in a rare trip abroad for the north korean leader he'll be meeting president to be to refer to for talks in a few days' time now this visit comes as pyongyang struggles under a set of western sanctions while military tension on the korean peninsula rumbles on r.t.g. could greaves reports. thought the energy corporations like to be central to these

discussions is the summit at present his self is 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 wolf 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 he stayed 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 in fact 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 is space 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 shortages and the first batch of just arrived yesterday in north

korean ports also the headlines tonight libyan rebels are closing in on the capital tripoli from taking fall from the western city of zawiya they are now pushing colonel gadhafi troops back on the road to tripoli that fifty. that follows the statement of the strategic alternatives prager is now under their full control after more than a week of fierce fighting the civil war which started over six months ago we've made in the building in march claimed the life so far of two thousand people. indian soldiers who killed twelve separatist militants while trying to prevent them from crossing from pakistan controlled kashmir into the indian side to shoot a place of a military control line dividing disputed kashmir between the two countries new delhi says it regularly intercept is missed rebels trying to cross the kashmir border to fight indian rule there. over ten thousand people gathered in new delhi in support of a prominent activist who is on his fifth day of

but our first couple of days were pretty scary that's when we had to go to keep 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 seize 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 much hope of being able to go on air 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 continues through the nineteenth and twentieth of august fears grew of an assault on the white house that you know little tanks and soldiers in the streets all of it made you feel uneasy thinking what's going to happen in america what's going to happen in my time. as 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 thought her son dimitri was safe with a friend in fact he was manning the barricades. judging by documents that i've been able to see another dmitry 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 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 who went berserk we pumped out later that petrify nearby car their poor picture and bottles setting them afire 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 the 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 i asked for i got the orders to attack the white house and apprehend yeltsin we unanimously decided we wouldn't do it. as the plotters admitted the bloodshed destroyed their cause the august coup had come close to succeeding but in the end it went the way of yeltsin and democracy tom barton r.t. . some twenty four hours before this was international air show closes in the moscow region but the action numberless is showing no sign awaiting russia's newest fighter jet the still classified t fifty prototypes being the main headliner of the event with his first public display it made another dramatic entrance on saturday
