hopes fate of finding any more survivors from russia's oil rig disaster with a dozen still missing two days after the drilling platform sank in icy waters. signs of fracture within the syrian opposition while some welcome the government's decision to let observers into the country either slammed the move and called for an air of military intervention. and three months since the start of the anti-corporate protests in the us the occupy movement is still gaining momentum despite police heavy handedness and some critics warning it would not last until winter.

eight am in the russian capital you're watching r t two days after an oil rig capsized off russia's far east coast the search for survivors has turned desperate dozens are still missing in the freezing waters while the handful of survivors found they're about to arrive back on land jake agrees reports from the coastal region nearest to where the tragedy occurred. it's looking increasingly unlikely that any war survivors will be found search and rescue teams have made contact with lifeboats and life rafts through out the course of the day but no people so far no survivors crucially have been found as a very similar story to that of sunday and largely this is owing to the fact that this all wreak sank so quickly in bad weather conditions that swept away many of these life works before it seems people could board them and we're looking at

a very grave picture present if there are any survivors though being in the water for well over twenty four hours now typically given time conditions that means planes can't fly and can't be used to try and search out any signs of life indeed throughout the course of one day we have seen the number of people found dead and mounting as for those who have been found alive for so far fourteen in toto took place on sunday where they're plucks from the water shortly after the sinking of this oil rig for the word mediately flown out to sakhalin here for further treatment a day have been ruled that they're in a fit and good state and that she those four have undergone questioning in it because this case is a criminal case has been opened to try and find out what exactly happened some of the theories that have been put forward so far looks of perhaps as this oil rig

took on a significant amounts of water which meant it sank very quickly it's all occurred approximately two hundred kilometers off the coast of south colleen in russia's far east as it already has been towed support by an icebreaker a very bad weather conditions now of course the search and rescue operation is still ongoing there are many more still missing and expecting it continue. throughout the course of the evening. and jacob is also updating his twitter feed us he covers the rescue operation in russia's far east will in his latest tweet he reports he's waiting to meet some of the survivors that are about to arrive in the port. to read as it happens by following jacob or keeping an eye on our retreat at our t.v. underscore calm. syria's opposition says a once an arab military intervention to quote protect civilians from government

security forces they spoke after a damascus side an arab league protocol allowing observers to monitor a regional peace initiative to and months of bloodshed the opposition dismissed the deal as a stalling tactic syria has been increasingly isolated under sanctions from arab states the west and the new over its crackdown on the anti-government protesters but the authorities say they are fighting extremist armed groups operating in the country r.t. sara first has been to one of the flashpoint in the ongoing unrest. we're here in the embattled city of homs and you can hear heavy gunfire in the background it's really hard to the sheer insurances that the civilian population here lives here as we call it the wait a month often months they've had to endure this conflicts that the ongoing violence is taking its toll yeah but the fact there are neighborhoods that are being suffocated surrounded by armed groups there are many people who have been could not

have had enough who did we do to deserve this holmes is being described this is the bring in civil war where some of the series this is fighting has broken out. driving through the streets there are clear signs of conflicts bullet holes in window panes and then. there's a heavy military presence we went to visit some of the areas where concentrated fighting was continuing dangerous to visit. you know there are areas of the fifty day life struggles on movie it's in the backdrop of. you can see the chosen playing here in the homes that this is the one of the major. this conflict continues for the safety of the civilians continue living here and this is the situation in homes right now is far more complex than simply one of the opposition against the regime had deep seated sectarian conflicts with their heads. from the very beginning.

because they're equal large numbers. much more than. a. military funeral held yesterday gets under way five soldiers killed by what the government says is an increase in the militant movement and on the same day reports from the opposition the harrowing accounts is civilian deaths around the country. make serious decision to allow the arab league to send observers to the more important this is a question for. both the decision by the main opposition outside the country yes and see course of. the opposition inside the country has welcomed in the north. we hope it's going to be implemented on the ground as it stated in the pros a call and we remain completely against international intervention it would lead the country to destruction. with

a fractious opposition and rising death toll with facts and information still very hard to verify even on the ground the observers a rival here in syria will be an important step but it's going to be just one of many more that we need to call a and c. to ensure the name or lives. serve. the city of homs. and they were a base political analyst come all wasn't believes the opposition's call for foreign intervention is not about protecting civilians but pursuing its own gains. their dream of a change in the regime and collapsing of the regime not met their allies and i think after nine months of that international coalition and some goals against syria syria was able to fast and prevail over all the obstacle that has been put by these countries i think there is

a map that has been drawn for the middle east and they wanted some somehow for their dream of assad to topple and i think the way things are going it didn't please. please what they call the opposition and that's why you see they don't want they want to still continue the process and causing instability inside syria watching r.t. live from moscow still ahead of the program mysterious newcomer our experts break into closer focus figure. son who is now holding the reins of power in north korea plots. first in-depth look at how a seemingly prosperous economy dystonia is in fact struggling on the poverty line demonstrating this growing within the block that's coming your way in just a few moments.

of heart attack at the age of sixty nine on saturday his death was only announced on monday and send shock waves around the country and the whole region images from the world's most reclusive nation show thousands of people uncontrollably weeping on the streets kenyatta all will be laid to rest in a week at a ceremony close to foreign delegations his youngest son kim yong known has already been named as the great successor and the people have been told to unite behind him but as independent journalist jim sharp told r.t. what secrecy surrounding the new leader it's hard to guess what his ten year will bring he's only been around for three years in the public light he went to school in switzerland apparently he knows a lot about how the internet works and he knows a lot about social media but beyond that we know very little except he's been appointed a four star general and it did take kim jong il who just passed quite a few years to actually gain total acceptance with the power structure there with

the powers that be there in the in the party in the government to actually you know take firm control so obviously he has no military training very very you know this year or next to zero military experience but i think what these two leaders this closely held leadership in north korea once is a symbol of their regime and this is a clear you know successor symbol they can they can use to continue their power. meanwhile north korea's neighbors are in high alert following the news of community fearing it will spark instability in the region japan's government has called a special security meeting while south korea said its armed forces are combat ready but some experts believe peace on the korean peninsula is determined not by relations between north and south but by the standoff between china and america the important thing here to understand is that for example they talk about south korea being on military alert it's not south korea it's our military or it's the united

states that is actually using south korea as a beachhead ever since the end of the korean war the other hand we have to understand or should really be asking ourselves will the military the north korean military which are very powerful one million strong army four million reserve nuclear arms ballistic missiles be subordinated to the new government or will they have a larger standford use probably the key question is how will all of this unfold what will china do china has a very special relationship with north korea it's sort of a love hate strict father versus problem child. i cannot see how all these things will be because north korea will undoubtedly do that which china does not allow we have to always interpret north korea within the scope of the regional geopolitics of china it so which is the key power in the region and just over fifteen minutes we'll speak with the former head of the u.n.

nuclear watchdog the death of the long standing a north korean leader and may eventually pose a threat to security in the region. an important figure is. and there's always a risk in such a structure that there can be changes and the threats from the outside bites make them provocative in the north korean situation first of all we know that within artillery range for all of north korea so even without nuclear weapons the situation that would be a risky one. and if north korea was provocative there could be a risk also of encouraging their. forces in japan. three months and out of seems now one is backing out the occupy movement in the us

is celebrating another in a verse three as it continues to defy critics and gain momentum artie's us here is in new york with more. these are the images of america over the last three months. must beat themselves in the forehead because they've given such life to this movement not welcome by authorities a movement against wall street wealth inequality and government corruption exploded in new york and spread all across the us the nexus of all of our grievances was the profit motive the fact that. the corporate sector dominated by the financial sector has our ostensibly democratic politics gridlock and it owns it. occupy wall street has just marked its three month anniversary what we fall into on september seventeenth with this momentous moment of anger when there's this time

now i think that we've kind of injected the idea of economic inequality and see the public discourse how come i walk through. that it would not last long enough to deliver any significant message but three months it was the biggest nationwide movement here what's it mean here is it's clear that the protesters are feeling stronger and more united than to be one critic said the protests would not survive until winter they have we can't fund education we can't fund health care but we could fund the police and fund these wars until the cows come home at what point is it enough. when does the greed stop opponents said the demonstrations would never track tens of thousands they have i would love to see a peaceful revolution or really would the media ridiculed them as a joke they just want a party at their leisure trying to have burning right now. but kidding they were not. as many believe the uprising has transformed the face of america it's totally

changed the conversation in the united states on saturday the occupiers of new york facts right. samplers after being evicted from zuccotti park. attempted to occupy a new public space to use as their base. but confronted by police about fifty were arrested others kicked out were pretty resilient so i think you know in a short amount of time well and. surely the. demonstrators plan to keep going until they see a revamp of the financial and political system in the us or the financial elite is still mourning it over everyone the economy is in trouble foreclosures are continuing to grow all these real reasons for the protests and the movement will continue no matter the obstacles the goal of occupy wall street is to make history

advantages as well in terms of investment the support for the euro is holding up very well people seem to be to see the advantages you may be politically economically with the euro what gumption party soon brought a painful hand over since september story has agreed to take part in the european financial stability facility the body created to combat financial crisis and bailout countries like greece and now experts say this membership comes at a price you can not afford to buy. for us is very bad because we need to. or. from our g.d.p. rich countries something more than nine percent. poor. country we need to pay off march richer countries the country central
