and we explore the events of august one thousand nine hundred one which gave birth to modern russian democracy. direct from of the heart of moscow to you this is r.t. glad to have you with us let's take a look at your top stories heavy gunfire and explosions are reported in the libyan capital according to rebel commanders it signals the start of the final onslaught on today off the stronghold but i would say nato is portraying celebrity fireworks as a battle for the capital independent journalist feeling that says the reports are the alliance is a way to create panic. big bang fire and fire what's that happening and it's gunfire and file it's a great story gunfire and as

a result of the. rebels in the city on the gangs that the libyan government are calling them. that had to have now being cleared out of the city and they are now being captured i never stayed in ascension he dealt with the only gunfire that we're hearing is centigrade speak on finding any explosions that way hearing nato airstrikes schoolmates sound columns which are clearly designed to create a sense of panic in the capital city of tripoli now what we're hearing that happens idea today is that the. rebels in libya. channels they created sun sake teach themselves inside painting that they are inside and cheerfully you case create and of course the media then the mainstream media and the western media to take that p.t. these were bullets which creates a sense of panic among the libyan people so they went inside past. in fear and then

a number of armed gangs and much michel ascension the sleeper cells of rebels inside the c.c. and began firing randomly and setting things on fire and threatening ordinary people that if they did not join them that they would be assassinated they then took the streets which were empty as i said because people were scared suicide bombings which created this sense that they were. in the process of capturing the city then what happened is that of course many people in tripoli had been on quite a government and so these people came out to defend the capital and then the government came out and insisted that bit situation had been. had been brought under control and so as a result now in green square. compounds that. have come out because they feel safe again and as i said betty not celebrate to be gunfire. political analyst. who's in tripoli says the reports of fighting is an attempt to

break the city's spirit. the main point of the attacks in tripoli which are sporadic is to break down the moral here and cause and in fact the media here at the rixos hotel where i stay at actually it's called the swiss and now has been part of this this information campaign they're talking about airlifts the mainstream media would happen to be involved i can tell you right now reuters put out a release that was widely quoted one point national was killed here two days ago when nato was intensely bombing civilian infrastructure and we didn't mention the city we need to structure i want to add while they quoted that this foreign national was a security card this was misinformation this was not correct it was changed or they have been fueling and feeding this psychological war against this country they want tripoli to be in panic that's the whole aim but let's not use the word airstrikes let's use the word bombardment of civilian infrastructure they've been part of it

but bombing all the city mean checkpoints that are mostly are protected and then by volunteers it's nato that's been doing all the fighting so when the media says the insurgents are moving in or the so-called rebels the revolutionaries whatever you want to call them that is not correct it's needled it's doing all the hard work here and they will not come to tripoli the population here will postpone but they want this city to be on the brink of collapse because of the psychological war. and you are with r.t. still to come in the program. top brass and top security north korea's leader rolls to russia in his private train for the first time in ten years find out what he's going to discuss with russia's president plus. it's the two thousand and eleven attacks a show just outside of moscow here with me rule research on t.v. oh it's really heating up out here high flying medieval major jets putting two g. forces out of what you thought i was i feel sick and dizzy looking details to come

stay with aussie. hamas launches a rocket attacks on israel killing one and injuring dozens in response to is it wills continued air strikes on gaza this comes after hamas announces its calling off its cease fire with the jewish state israel has also been dealt a blow on a different from cairo said it will withdraw the head of its gyptian mission from tel aviv putting at risk already suffering relations between the two countries tension is running high inside the jewish state as well with mass demonstrations taking place across the country for two years possibly as late. thousands of people are not seen here in tel aviv holding candles in memory of the victims of the last forty eight hours of mine and the demonstrations are happening not only here in tel aviv but also in jerusalem and a number of other major cities around israel in stark contrast to the protests we've seen happening and because the mood here is very calm but people are very

serious and effective in terms of what the latest wave of violence has caused now pointing to protest if they say that they are not surprised by this recent spate of violence many killing me that they've been thinking of for some time they believe that the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his government will use the may present conflict with the on the as an excuse to bring people around here people are young many of them might remember. and if that happened they would be quite happy to go to the front. white people if you know those really strong in the same day are going to be reminding you see the person suffered mediocrity to know that i'm living there talking about it to pay for me talking about hope they talking about you know it's the people here say that not only do they run theme from on great but they also want to make a point minister binyamin. sit down on the left and. israeli journalists just as dana says that if israel launches a full fledged offensive on gaza it might face domesticity resistance as young

people may be 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 house and the unstated 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 temperatures 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 are going to fight for a government that has so far ignored their demands for for for economic reallocation inside of israeli society. and of course if we value your opinion on

the events in the middle east go to our website where you can cast your vote on the reasons behind israel's attacks on gaza right now forty two percent of you believe that the latest attacks are a way to sabotage next month's un vote on palestinian statehood twenty six percent say it was an opportunity to provoke a response from the palestinians the remaining viewers are divided and think that israel is trying to divert attention away from its own domestic problems or that the attacks are an act of defects and that israel simply wants to protect its own people. on to america now where after weeks of turbulence stock markets once again closed in the red and westerners are fleeing the markets amid concerns of slow paced recovery nv ailing condition of the euro zone major sell offs are anticipated when exchanges open next week with traders are now seeing gold as the safest haven meanwhile america's three major banks have warned of a repeat of the two thousand and eight global recession after jason johnson

professor of political science thinks a recession in the us is inevitable if investor confidence keep strong. the companies that have lost stock value over the last two days or two weeks these companies aren't magically not working anymore it's just that people's confidence isn't all time low so it 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 most of the us get 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 legislation should be passed the united states if the president can start some control and there's still some confidence in our future economy big 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 or slam then everyone's going to get more nervous because you have no idea what a new administration might attack policy but the turbulent markets are not only a headache for traders of course with private investments and pension funds at stake our very own residence in new york ask people 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 you have paid 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 face i'm it's not too much but i'm still worried because they're . following but you haven't pulled out yet you know it will 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 a cash now's the time to fire things like 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 own best we cover your hard times and everything in academy is not stable so i just at this present moment the stock market is not safe so where's your money matters 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 put out of the mattress i don't think that's going to work too well but about in gold you could put seven goals like warren buffett says you take something from. under the or you take it up and 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 if things were to get that bad so really 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 artery or more local kind of exchanges of all things so right now we're living in an. well there's the there will be there will be an effort is there was the money for that or is the one with being kind of the end here with what's gone out he can i mean i think so no matter where you keep your money these days the bottom line is no place will ever be completely in violence. twenty years ago history was in the making on the streets of moscow then the city was under military curfew on the second day of an attempt to overthrow me while got a bit of then president of the soviet union. back at the attempted coup that proved pivotal in the clutch of the u.s.s.r.

. twenty years ago moscow was in turmoil tanks on the streets barricades mound 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've switched on our t.v. camera with no use 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 continues 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 made you feel uneasy thinking what's going to happen in an hour what's going to happen at nighttime. 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 you both come are for 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 dmitri had climbed on my 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 protestors were shot in the mayhem.

that guy was killed or for the thousands of people who have preserved we pumped out later that petrof only by car poor patrons of bottles setting them afire throwing 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 inanimate and 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. . and for more on the birth of modern russia we make sure to watch our special
