on r t tonight tension is high in the middle east this israel continues its bombardment of gaza become by sending a peace treaty with the jewish day. while here it is not activists are taking to the street they play they believe the government is trying to use this conflict to divert attention away point from it big problems join me in a few moments and i'll bring you all. their claims about the rebels capturing. that sounds like a complete and i've a case of conflicting reports on a rebel advance on tripoli suggest his father when they too am to get their food media campaign. and we explore the events of august nineteenth ninety one which gave birth to modern russian democracy and.

welcomed this is r.t. is what i am here in moscow my name is kevin i know it's our top story the mass launches rocket attacks on israel it's killed one and injured dozens in response to israel's continued air strikes on gaza this comes after hamas announces its calling off its cease fire with the jewish state israel's also been dealt a blow on a different fronts cairo said it will withdraw ahead of its egyptian mission from tel aviv put it at risk already faltering relations between the two countries tensions running high inside the jewish state as well with people venting anger at the government sees paul asleep as the latest. power is putting pressure to try and canteens and on both sides we know that an initial agreement has been signed between tel aviv and cairo we have no details of that moment however has been

putting an end formal apology from israel it also says that it wants not only an expression of regret at once a commitment from islam that this kind of violence will not happen again. the israeli defense minister could go right ahead there that you were great that day on your keyboard guards who were killed in the latest spate of violence you also say if you had ordered an immediate investigation this is just part of the bigger picture when 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 to keep grad and become rocket and rained down on southern israel dozens of israeli citizens has been injured so a lot of concern here in the region that this is it's been eighteen and will continue just to intensify action to have got a gathering here in tel aviv and at least come out of five or six that heat around israel they believe that the government was hoping and is hoping that this creation

of violence such a contract attention away from social economic problems at home that's almost if we have to the soft spoken to says the exact opposite is going to happen in fact the plan tonight is that the demonstrators will be holding a candle and they'll be marching inside and inside it 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 i want to come did is the attack on tuesday that forces initial states of violence and that was an attack said mr h. israeli citizens killed it is also called on israel to stop attacks on the gaza strip with a court case 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 league because when you can come over to discuss this is certainly a lot of international interest and a lot of international pressure in terms of what is happening here and it's because it's not afraid that the israeli government is going to use this they can make

a vine and argue that they shouldn't be recognition of a palestinian state which is on the cards for next month in new york it is with the foreign minister avigdor lieberman it doesn't prove that the palestinians are not serious about peace not less. has been responded to with the word madness my palestinian needed faith a bit into a particular point of view that is all this trying to try and gone it international support not to see the palestinians to care that they come september. policy or a middle east correspondent israeli journalist told me that if israel launches a full fledged offensive on gaza or it might face domestic resistance because young people may be reluctant to fight for the government now 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 palestinian statehood push if the demonstrations in the west bank get out of hand or get very violent i think that will see

a reserve call up in israel which will directly affect the constituents of dissent 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 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. it's big stories we hear it's going to pan out more over the coming week and we want to know your opinion on the events currently in the middle east on our website you can vote tonight on what you think the reasons are behind israel's attacks on cars and what you've been telling us changing quite a bit by the almost half of you that's gone down from fifty four percent few hours ago i believe that the place is a tiger way to sabotage un vote on palestinian statehood twenty nine percent saying

it was an opportunity to provoke a response from the palestinians fifteen percent of you so you think that the attacks are an act of defense and that israel simply wants to protect its own people and the minority of you for the teen percent of it it was nine or the wrong thing that israel's trying to divert attention from its domestic problems there's no you think about this pressing issue right now at r.t. . nato about rebels in libya say a battle for the capital tripoli could on fold by the end of the month as they take the cities around the stronghold forces loyal to the libyan leader claim the colonel is not leaving the country nor the capital and they're also the rebels will not advance further because the supply routes so far the civil wars reportedly claimed over two thousand lives as opposed to independent journalist there's a feeling earlier she told me the western media misinterprets the situation on the ground an underestimate his forces. these claims that x.y.

and that town surrounding tripoli have been captured and the stories about defections from the libyan government. clearly part of a can tame to create confusion part of the psychological operations against libya and the events on the ground here are clearly not in favor of nato so nato is in fact trying to create intent which are in favor of it and this is because nato has been unable to find a military solution inside inside libya so it is trying to create the perception that it is having some measure of success here now. only so it can try to give the right rebels are behind in negotiations. with the libyan government also so that we can justify to the united nations security council some measure of success in libya well again as i said because the claims about the rebels tottering we are in other towns are complete and utter. fabrication provocations in fact what is happening is

that when we hear about these towns being captured all that is happening is that they are coming under intense strikes by nato and the minute that the airstrikes subside the libyan government and the masses who are in support of the libyan government move back into research all those areas but of course if that ever was any real threat the real presence of the rebels inside tripoli the people of tripoli since the beginning of the crisis have been on in the millions with weapons by the libyan government and they insist that they are ready to defend her city and they will fight as they say house by house. also the middle east in syria there are reports of dozens of new death during the latest spate of anti-government protests despite person claims that on the operations against civilians that ended international pressure on the syrian leader is mounting now despite most confusion for support of u.s. initiative demanding the side step the russian delegation folks in right now who says the situation on the ground meantime the u.s. has imposed a fresh set of economic sanctions preparing to talk with those. told

or such measures could prove decisive. the americans have been very clear they know their ability to change their behavior is limited they have always said how 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 that they are right on syria and russia is currently wrong for that is the next importance 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 or soon or makes up some 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 not international still to come in the program with top brass top security north korea's leader rolls into russia in this private trade for the first time in ten years part of what is due to discuss with russia's president very shortly but. it's the two thousand and eleven a max air show just outside of moscow here we. see it's really heating up now here high flying. jets pulling out of g. forces you're watching it for hours i feel sick and dizzy i love it details to come stay with r.t. . amount of enjoys his job. to america where after weeks of turbulence stock markets once again closed in the red investors are fleeing the markets with concerns of slow paced recovery and the ailing condition of the euro zone a major sell off there anticipated well exchanges open next week with traders now seeing gold as the safest dave we tell america's three major banks the board of

repeat of the two thousand and eight global recession jason johnson is a professor of political science he told us he thinks the recession of the u.s. is a. never people if they invest they come for them to keep. the companies that have lost your glass to gaze or to these companies aren't magically not working anymore 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 the only problem with that is when someone actually wants to call it or most of the 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 if legislation to be passed united states if the president can sort some control and there's still some confidence in our future economy. and 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 it are actually are 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 real like that 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 markets have not only had they the traders of course with private investments and pension funds and stake it affects all of us our very own resident in new york us people there they're protecting 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 but 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 but i'm still worried because they're. calling go but you haven't called out yet you know it'll come back to 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 fire things well 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 do you have money invested own best recovery a hard time doing everything in academy is not stable so i just at this present moment the stock market is that safe so where's your money matters the way it goes up and down it's really it's just a game so i have no faith in it is it was a why we play a game with our security. what are your choices what are you going to do with your money you put out a mattress i don't think that's going to work too well but about in gold you could put seven gold what 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. goal to undermine 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're living in an. where there will be with these there was the money that war is being with beings kind of the end here with what's gone out economy i think so where you keep your money these days the bottom line is no place will ever be completely let's. take a look at the history books now twenty years ago history was in the making here on the streets of moscow the city was under military curfew on the second day of an attempt to overthrow the. 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 around outside the russian parliament the white house panic and anger were in the air on 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 computers 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 with votes much hope of being able to corner 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. the 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 and my time. 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 force her son dimitriy was safe with a friend in fact he was manning the barricades. judging by documents they had been able to see another mitri had climbed on the vehicle to cover its vision slits after the in 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 only by car poor patrons of bottles set in them a 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 mere 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 every hand yeltsin we inanimate we 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 bottom r.t. and for more on the birth of modern russia and shore watch our series a special report this hour next in just a few minutes time here on our t.v. we're also covering war hidden history in our series the soviet files too is a bit more. if. the fact. that he was caught up. to. this street still keeps its secrets for the time some feel that the soviet
