that it's all about maxing it out at the international a show in moscow in the final day of gravity defying stunts in the lucrative deal making to go. for a good evening for me kevin owen here in moscow tonight watching r t international it's eleven pm moscow time on our top story violence in the middle east is on the rise as a mass fires rockets towards israel in response to days of air strikes on gaza international mediators from the u.n. russia the u.s. and the e.u. of call on egypt to help its neighbors establish a cease fire tonight paul asli has more from tel aviv. cairo is pushing pressure to quiet and calm patients on both sides we know that an initial agreement had been fine between tel aviv and cairo we have no details of that at the moment connor has

been insisting on any formal apology from his role it also says that it wants not only an expression of a great but it wants a commitment from it's all the kind of wind in the north again the israeli defense minister it would be a rocket that he would break the day off your keyboard of gaza with children and they took place of violence you also say if you had ordered an immediate investigation to squash the bigger picture we see 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 had come rockets rained down on the southern israel dozens of israeli citizens have been injured so a lot of concern here in the region that this is it may change and war continues just to intensify at the have got a gathering here in tel aviv and in a week and out of five or six around israel they believe that the government was posting and isn't saying that the situation of violence to detract attention away

from social economic problems at home it's almost as if we have to stop so can she says the exact opposite is going to happen in fact the plan tonight is that demonstrations will be holding candles and they'll be marching inside and it recognition and in memory of people of both sides have been killed in the last few days of violence we do know that the middle east or to it has issued a statement why it didn't is the attack on to say that six initial spaces like this and that was an attack at least some eight israeli citizens killed it is also called on israel proper contact on the gaza strip with the cool kids saying that the cairo also needs to take responsibility to step up if it's in the sinai peninsula that's to try and bring the security situation there under control the arab leaders let's and you come to morrow to discuss this is certainly a lot of ink. national interest and a lot of international pressure in terms of what is happening here palestinians are afraid that the israeli government is going to use this nation state of violence to

argue that they shouldn't be recognition of a palestinian state which is on the cards for next month in new york the israeli foreign minister avigdor lieberman says that this is proof that the palestinians are not serious about peace not this has been responded to with the word madness by palestinian leaders they say that it seems into this particular point of view that islam is trying to try and gone that international support not to see the palestinians the kid that comes to tend. to some of these correspondent paula sleep go to israeli journalists josephs donna he told me that if the crisis hits a writes and israel launches an offensive on gaza or it might face domestic resistance as young people are reluctant to fight for the government right that 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 ten processors 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 tenth 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 demand for for for economic reallocation inside of israeli society. of course as ever we've all your opinion not only stories we're covering including this one the events of the middle east on our website tonight you can cast your vote what you think of the reasons behind israel's attacks on gaza i'm supposing of the last few hours this is what you've been telling us we just have data that graph over half of you believe that the latest attacks are a way to sabotage next month's un vote on palestinian statehood that's going to lose by fifty percent last as has gone on for this increasingly thinking that this hour twenty seven percent of you think it's not to provoke a response from the palestinians twelve percent of you think that the attacks are

an act of defense of israel simply wants to protect its own people and so far just seven percent of you think that israel is trying to divert attention from its domestic problems again that's a tad from last as well your votes count on here you could make a change tell us what you think see dot com tonight. stay in the middle east go to syria now where tanks have reportedly entered the city of despite president assad's claims that the military operation against civilians had been stopped opponents of damascus meanwhile beating in turkey to launch a national council to try to work together towards toppling the regime a russian delegation's in syria assessing the situation on the ground with reports of more than twenty deaths during the later spend the anti-government protests the international pressure on the syrian leader is one thing despite moscow is refusing to support the u.s. initiative demanding that assad steps down the u.s. has imposed a fresh set of economic sanctions with the e.u.

preparing more penalties targeting the country's oil sector analysts changed and slow told us such measures could prove decisive. the americans have been very clear they know their influence and ability to change syria behavior is limited they always have to reach out to countries close its history and russia is one such country and a very important country at that so i think the americans right now in europe in specially really have to work hard to persuade the russian if they are. writes on syria russia is currently running for that is the next important step are i think we should focus on one particular element which is really important could go either way syria's oil exports are the present about ninety percent or so serious oil is exported to europe so the europeans are now come out 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 outside 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. for moscow with me kevin now in this hour and coming up barking history it is twenty years it's an attempt for mikhail gorbachev and the soviet union government with forty you've got the second in our special series of reports for you just ahead. we'll stock market supply mathilda big signs of a possible u.s. recession the new worries over the health of europe's banks investor confidence has been dealt a severe blow and it sparked a massive sell off on friday as that is really 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 in and the 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 causing 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 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 all these. 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 a corresponding new york city when important their world fears of a repeat of the financial crisis of two thousand and eight her spreading global

panic but jason johnson is a professor of political science he told us the things we might see a recession in the u.s. if investors aren't reassured soon the companies that have lost your glass two days or two he's probably is aren't magically not working any more it's just that people's confidence is that i'm all time low so if confidence stays low we will see another recession of confidence improves the economy the only problem with that is when someone who actually wants to call it or most of us right now is on by china china is not about to reclaim the state of retreat you're not about to reclaim new york city by calling in their debts they primarily want to see america so just leasing from the past united states the president can sort some control and there's still some confidence in our future economy less of a problem to people's 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 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 or slim everyone's going to get more nervous because you have no idea what your ministration might act policy wise. well the target markets don't just affect traders of course with private investments and pension funds on the line our very own resident in new york city are people there 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 the u.s. based on 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 face and it's not too much credit i'm still worried because they're. falling down but you haven't called out yet it'll come back to show you have money invested. you don't trust it that much more just haven't got the money

if you're happy cash now's the time to buy everything but what if it just keeps crashing for that you have the money to lose you lose it if you don't don't play it the you have money invested own 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 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 or 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. certainly put dollars into it and you have to get your money back out from selling the goal itself 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 will. go through on the mind the currency so is there a chance that we could go back to a system of artery or more local kind of exchanges of all things so right now we live in an. where there's the. money and that's what is there was the money that war is the worst being and here with what's gone out economy i think still the matter where you keep your money these days the bottom line is no place will ever be completely. this is our team moscow coming out 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. it's really heating up out here high flying with major jets pulling massive g.

second day of an attempt to overthrow mikhail gorbachev the president of the soviet union at his time via looks back now at the attempted coup that prove pivotal in the collapse of the us as up. 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 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 seized 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 with those much talked of being able to call in here tonight you can see

very kids being erected. surrogates 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 you know little tanks and soldiers in the streets all of it to me to feel uneasy thinking what's going to happen in an hour what's going to happen i might. 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 and you both come are thought her son dimitri was safe with a friend in fact he was manning the barricades. but judging by documents that i've been able to see i know that mitri had climbed on the vehicle to cover its mission slits after the in that he jumped into the because of area 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 or for the thousands of people who have deserved we pumped out later petrified by car their poor patrons apostles setting them off fire throwing them at the tanks the conspirators already wavering and lost their nerve. the three men memorialized here have become martyrs for the democratic cause in fact they expected assault on the white house never materialized but even before the violence which happened just here few soldiers were being orders. my colleagues and i already saw that the coup was failing so after i got the orders to attack the white house and apprehend yeltsin we denied him as he decided we wouldn't do it. as the plotters admitted it of bloodshed destroy their cause the august coup had come
