and watching r.t. live from moscow ten am in the russian capital i'm marina joshie welcome to the program 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 now arriving back on land jacob griefs is out the port where they are coming in and he joins us live on the phone to tell us more well jacob tell us what's happening in the port at the moment how the survivors are lived. oh yes do you. really know that when i was talking about since i was so much in medical stuff and just being and seeing the psychologist was dr check on my general wellbeing. the fourteenth of which dealing with the president was that i'm sure i'm not missing

him the fact that he's been missing and unaccounted for an increasing number of bodies a couple of days you know i think being but yet to find all of it and i did on the original and i thought. that already thank the source of the problem and really. wanted to win link now finding all of the time part is the better mind but the very good one of the conditions if you don't hear someone a good ten degrees so. you think what he found was haven't found anybody. i mean i don't. know probably most likely being completely exposed to the elements. well tell us about what the investigators are saying at this point about the causes of the sinking. well i don't personally know inquest into the whole thing

how it got there. you mean and actually what happened at the time of the instance being that's over yourself. before anything and thinking within twenty minutes if you will present was a very quickly. on the board. of justice and. some degree but i mean there were people missing the apartment at the very. thing you know we have a new one i mean being sued or we quote being fired what thank you question was being fired but what the conditions are and jacob thanks very much indeed for bringing us the very latest graves reporting from the region. well more

on the maritime tragedy in the russian far east can be found on our website r.t. dot com so one of the survivors who was airlifted to a hospital on saturday has told the media the horrifying story of the well we're sinking and explain why so many people failed to board the lifeboats so log on to our team 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 side an arab league protocol allowing observers to monetary a regional peace initiative to and months of bloodshed part of the opposition dismissed the deal as a stalling tactic 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 if they were to say they are fighting extremist armed groups operating in the country r.t. sara further has been to one of the flash points 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 share insurance this is the civilian population here live here a week of the wait a month after month they've had to endure this conflict. the ongoing violence is taking its toll. there are neighborhoods that are being suffocated surrounded by armed groups there many people who could not have had enough who did we do to deserve this holmes is being described this is to 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 windy pains and. there's a heavy military presence we went to visit some of the areas where concentrated fighting was continuing it would be dangerous to visit. those who know the areas of

the city day. to the backdrop of. 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 has a deep seated sectarian conflicts with their heads. from the very beginning. 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 the pool's from the opposition the harrowing accounts the civilian deaths around the country. make serious decision to allow the arab league to send observers 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 or course. was the decision by the main opposition outside the country yes and see. 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 a 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 pull away and seeing to ensure that no more lives. serve

. the city if. they were a base political analyst karmel was unable leaves the opposition's call for foreign intervention is not about protecting civilians but pursuing it sound gains. their dream of a change in the regime and collapsing of the regime not meant there are allies and they think after nine months of that international coalition western and some gulf country again syria syria was able to stand fast and prevail over all the obstacle that has been put by these country i think there is a map that has been drawn for the middle east and they want to somehow for there a dream of assad to topple and i think the way things are going it didn't please. and then didn't please what they called the opposition and that's why you see they don't want they want to still continue in the process and to get and causing

instability inside syria watching nightly live from moscow still ahead in the program mysterious newcomers as nationwide hysteria mounting north korea overcame jani our experts bring into closer focus the figure of came yon alles son who is now holding the reins of power in the country. immersed in debt we'll look at how a seemingly prosperous economy is stony and is in fact struggling on the poverty line demonstrating the discontent and growing within the blog all that's coming your way in just a few moments. here in bygone days sleds will fight to get around. but today the lifeline. what drives people to quit their modern lives and settle

in remote. one finds them up to survive the freezing cold. beginning in russia is this. the arctic. north korea's morning at slade's longstanding leader kim jarrell who died of heart attack at the age of sixty nine on saturday his death was only announced on monday and sent shock waves around the country and the whole region images from the world's most reclusive nation shell thousands of people uncontrollably whooping on

the streets meanwhile north korea's neighbors are on high alert following the news of community else das 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. important thing here to understand is that for example the who are really being our 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 of 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 for building a reserve nuclear arms ballistic missiles will they really be subordinated to the

new government or will they have a larger stance of these probably the key question is how will all of this on what will china china has a very special relationship with more korea it's sort of a love hate strict father versus problem child relationship i cannot see how. these things should be 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 so it is the key power in the region. well the youngest son of the late north korean chief kim yon own has already been named as the great successor and the people have been told to unite behind him but as independent journalist tim short told r.t. with secrecy surrounding the new leader it's hard to guess what his tenure 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 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 in just over fifteen minutes i was speak with the former head of the u.n. nuclear watchdog thinks and he felt foreign powers will destroy the shaky peace in the region. i think it is important to outside the worlds. does not make them over. threats from the outside by make them for all that is

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 risk you want. and it's mostly have a provocative. that could be a risk also. forces in japan. three months in and it seems no one is backing out the occupy movement in the us is celebrating another anniversary as it continues to defy critics and gain momentum going to is a new york with more. these are the images of america over the last three months that cops are must beat themselves in 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 u.s. 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 in gridlock and owns it. occupy wall street has just marked its three month anniversary what we volunteer on september seventeenth with this momentous moment of restoration anger with america now i think that we've kind of injected the idea of economic inequality and see the public discourse more of them on wall street. that it would not last long enough to deliver any significant message but three months into the biggest nationwide movement the west. i mean here it's clear that the protesters are feeling stronger and more united to 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 to see a small revolution or really what the media ridiculed them is a joke that is one of a party in their lives and is a trying to have burning right. 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 lax rocks 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 were pretty

resilient so 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 the financial elite is still mourning it over everyone the economy is in trouble foreclosures are continuing they're all the real reasons the protests and the movement will continue no matter the obstacles the goal of occupy wall street is to make history and we're growing and we're going to be the transformative moment. justice in america for. our team. well remember there is always plenty more stories on our website r.t. dot com here's a quick look at. what's in store for you right now in airports reduced to ashes in siberia with a hundred emergency workers sand to deal with
