from becoming a member of the w t or join me for a full business bulletin in twenty minutes. it is not i am of the russian capital he watching r t with me rima joshie welcome to the program now two days after an oil rig capsized off russia's far east coast the search for any survivors has turned desperate dozens are still missing in the freezing waters while the handful of survivors found are about to arrive back on land jake greaves is waiting for them and in port and he joins us live on the phone to tell us more jacob tell us what is going on in the port at the moment and when do you expect the survivors to arrive or. sheets you're talking about doesn't. out of the fourteen of the

very few quarters i mean there's a sense of relief in the every week the of course. through. it all the tension of focus on those who are still going to take. ten minutes. all of the oil rig originally before why. the hopes of finding lost to reach would doing by the hour we've been a part of the search and rescue operation of all the parts of the area on board that. they were exposed to very extreme elements but. bear in mind this there will be no second not just what is the intention for here but my ten degrees here will be told to see there will likely never going to find any more about it given the conditions remap. at this point what are the investigators

saying about the causes of the sinking. premature number region of the present firstly how. now back to the regional attention to you did three bad weather conditions. or a good look or more. traps and i doing i was thinking very quickly after i did twenty minutes i'm being if you should have enough time the board lifeboats for there was a way. full of water of extraction has already been launched criminal proceedings i mean i would have been there as well trying to hear what station making problems take it because then i have a cold start negotiations over an exception being towed in the weather conditions and it was and let. me actually parent. ok jacob green thanks very much indeed for bringing us the sub date on the phone from the south island region.

now more on the maritime tragedy in the russian far east can be found on our website and one of the survivors who was airlifted to hospital on saturday has told the media the horrifying story of the oil rig sinking and explained why so many people failed to board the lifeboats so i want to r.t. dot com to find out more. some groups in syria's opposition say they want an arab military intervention to quote protect civilians from government security forces they spoke after damascus signed an arab league protocol allowing observers to monitor a regional peace initiative two and months of bloodshed part of the opposition dismissed the deal as a stalling tactic and syria has been increasingly isolated under sanctions from arab states the u.s. and the e.u. 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 flashpoints of 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 fathom the sheer insurances that the civilian population here lives here as we call it wait a month often months they've had to endure this conflicts. going violence is taking its toll he added that 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 deserve this holmes is being described this is the bridge 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 it would be empty dangerous to visit. those who know the areas of the city day struggles own movie it's in the backdrop of gunfire. you can

see the children playing in the hall this is the one of the major. this conflict continues for the safety of the civilians. living here in 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 home. because their numbers. are much more than. the military funeral held yesterday gets under way five soldiers killed by what the government says is an increasingly militant movement and on the same day reports from the opposition the harrowing accounts the civilian deaths around the country. make serious decision to allow the arab league to send observers to the more

important this is naturally we want. to. in the same time preserve our sovereignty so really it depends on the intention do they really want to help syria or corner. was the decision being slammed by the main opposition outside the country b s n c. 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 protocol 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 if that is 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 pull away and seeing to ensure the name or lives. surf.

city of homs. beirut based political analysts come out was named 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 did not matter allies and i think after nine months of that international coalition western and some gulf country against syria syria was able to steadfast and prevail over all the obstacles that has been put by these country i think there is a map that has been drawn for the middle east and they wanted some somehow for the regime of assad to topple and i think the way things are going it didn't please about the arab persian gulf and it didn't please what they call the opposition and that's why you see they don't want they want to still continue the process

instigation and causing instability inside syria. and you're watching our to live from moscow still ahead in the program mysterious newcomer as a nationwide series of mound sindoor of the real overcame gone deaf our experts bring into closer focus the figure of came yawn l. sun was now holding the reins of power in the country plus. immersed in debt will cap how we seemingly prosperous economy is stony a is in fact struggling on the poverty line demonstrating the discontent growing within the within the blog and all that's coming your way in just a few. north korea's morning it's slate's longstanding leader kim jong il who died 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 shows thousands of people uncontrollably weeping on the streets meanwhile north korea's neighbors are on high alert following the news of community death 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 stand off between china and america. the important thing here to understand is that for example the south korea being on military alert it's not south korea that is on military alert it's the united states that is actually using south korea as a beachhead ever since the end of the korean war on 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 will they really be subordinated to the new government or will they have a larger stance of this is 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 vs problem child type of relationship that i cannot see however these things will ization because north korea will undoubtedly not do that which china does not allow we have to always interpret north korea within the scope of the regional geopolitics of china which is the key power in the region the youngest son of the late north korean chief came jaan own has already been named as a great successor and the people have been told to unite behind him but as independent journalist tim sharp told r.t. with secrecy surrounding the new leader it's hard to guess what he's 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 and the next hour we speak with the former head of the u.n. nuclear watchdog who thinks and from foreign powers will destroy a shaky peace in the region. i think it is important that the

outside the worlds. does not make them of us and the threats from the outside might make them provoke that in the north korean situation first of all we know that within the israeli rearrange for all of those go to. so even without the you know it as the situation that would be a risky one. and if those they have a provocative there could be a risk also of encouraging their. forces in japan. for three months and it seems no one is backing out the occupy movement in the u.s. to celebrating another anniversary as it continues to defy critics and gain momentum our jesus is in new york with more. these are the images of america over the last three months that cops are must be

asking themselves on the forehead because they've given such a 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. all comply wall street has just marked its three month anniversary what we volunteer on september seventeenth with this momentous moment of restoration in anger with the facts 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 free. that it would not last long enough to deliver any significant message but three months it was the biggest nationwide movement there was

a scene here 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 can fund the police state 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 what the media ridiculed them as a joke that is one of a party in their lives trying to have burning right now. but kidding they were not . us 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 lax right. campus 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 with pretty resilient i think you know in a short amount of time 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 the real reasons for the protests and the movement will continue no matter the obstacles the goal of occupy wall street is to make history we're growing and we're going to be the transformative moment for social and economic justice in america. r.t.e. new york. well remember there's always plenty more stories on our website and here's a quick look at what's in store right now and the airports reduced to ashes in
