what the investigators are saying at this point about the causes of the sinking. well the. inquest into the whole thing how can this. give me an indefinite. time oh the instant thing that's over so. before anything and then thinking within twenty minutes or so present or some very quickly i mean he would. just you know and there was. some degree of i mean there were a lot of people may think there were problems at the back into the things you know we have a new one i mean being already quote being fired what thank you question was being fired but weather conditions. all right jake and thanks very much indeed for

bringing us the very latest jake graves reporting from the cycling 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 world where a 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 regional peace initiative to and once 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 say they are fighting

extremist armed groups operating in the country r.t. sara further has been to one of the flashpoints in the ongoing unrest. 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 called to wait a month after month they've had to endure this conflicts with the on going violence is taking its toll. 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 as this 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 and when day pains 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 you know the areas that the fifty day. moving it's in the backdrop of. you can see the children playing in the homes that this is the one of the major. this conflict continues for the safety of the civilians to 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 home. because the numbers. are much more than. the 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 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 to the more important this is naturally we want to facilitate their visits to. in the same time preserve our sovereignty so really it depends on the intention do they really want to help syria or corners. was the decision to land 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 that we need to pull away and seeing we sure that. the city of homs. they were based political analyst carmel 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 collapse and of the regime not met there are allies and i think after nine months of that international coalition western and some gulf country against syria syria was able to stand fast and prevail over all the obstacle that has been brought 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 the 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 and to geisha and causing instability inside syria. what an arche line from moscow still ahead in the program mysterious newcomer as nationwide hysteria mounting north korea a work in yawn ells doubt our experts bring into closer focus the figure of kim 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 disc and tans growing within the blog all that's coming your way in just a few moments. here in bygone days sleds were vital to get around. but

today they're more leisure than lifeline. what drives people to quit their modern lives and settle in remote woods. one finds them up to survive in the freezing cold. a new beginning and brushes mills discover the arctic circle on r t. north korea's morning its latest 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 sent 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 meanwhile north korea's neighbors are on high alert following the news of kim yon ells 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 a term unknown by relations between north and south but by the standoff between china and america. the important thing here to understand is that for example the reader being on military alert it's not south korea that is our military although 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 who are building

a reserve nuclear arms ballistic missiles will they really be subordinated to the new government or will they have a larger stance that is 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 will 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 power. while 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 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 in just over fifteen minutes i would speak with a former had 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 that the outside the worlds.

does not make them of us and its threats from the outside might make them provoke that in the north korean situation first of all we know that it's within the range for i was north korea so even without the you know it was the situation that would be a risky one. and if those provocative. that could be a risk. for. three months and it seems no one is backing out the occupy movement in the u.s. is celebrating another anniversary as it continues to defy critics and gain momentum to see if you're going to is a 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 volunteer on september seventeenth with this moment this moment of frustration and anger with america now i think that we've kind of injected the idea of economic inequality and see the public discourse to my wall street started that it would not last long enough to deliver any significant message but three months into the week it's nationwide movement to what has been in years 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 to see a peaceful revolution. really. the media ridiculed them is a joke they just don't have a party and they're going to go and use it trying to have burning man who are living 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 lax rocks campus after being a victim 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 you know occupy and surely the. demonstrators plan to keep going until they see a revamp of the financial and political system in the u.s. the financial elite is still mourning it over everyone the economy is in trouble foreclosures are continuing to grow all the real reasons for 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 for. our team. move through. rose. 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 and airports reduced to ashes in
