2:02 am
arrive so bring us the atmosphere what's the mood there like. well really i mean one news you can pick out is a sense of relief spare ticket lee among those of course who been caught up in this both the survivors and also family members as well and the emergency crews have been following this story from the very start by no means any jubilation or senate ration and a lot of you tell this a lot of people stores are still with what's on going for these people who lost probably work colleagues and friends on this all rig that capsized and sunk therefore a lot of thought still being given towards them and their ongoing plights now dealing with thirty seven people who are still missing in this case and it has to be said that the odds of finding any more survivors now any more people alive looking quite slim now if anyone is alive they would have spent their second night
2:03 am
at sea in very harsh conditions search and rescue teams have already found over the table life boats i mean there's no more refuge really for any want to stayed in overnight meaning most likely they were having to face the very harsh conditions alone well what are the investigators are saying at this point about the causes of the sinking what they're looking into a number of theories that present but can't really be two steps fully substantiates until we have more evidence available of sea based sank olbrich sank very quickly indeed in twenty minutes time with it probably quite a lot of the evidence itself and not many survivors found either to give personal human testimony of what occurred one theory though so far is that it's already flooded with water that capsized very quickly within about twenty minutes and sank into a very little time to get out and that has been. reopened up here there is
2:04 am
further inquiry criminal case it has also been opened up and warmly angles that that's looking into it why exactly was taken to tow this already to port when there was such stormy and bad weather at the time. all right jake thanks very much indeed for bringing us the sub data from this arlene region. and of course more on the maritime tragedy and the russian far east can be found on our website which is r t dot com well one of the survivors who was airlifted to a hospital on saturday has told the media the horrifying story of the oil rig sinking and explained why so many people fail to board the y. vote to log on to the party dot com to find out more. some groups and syria's opposition saying they want an arab military intervention to quote protect civilians from government security forces they spoke after
2:05 am
damascus sayat 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 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 the authorities say they are fighting extremist armed groups operating in the country artist sara firth 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 a week of the wait a month often months they've had to endure this conflicts. with the ongoing violence is taking its toll. there are neighborhoods that are being suffocated surrounded by armed groups there many people who have been kidnapped have had enough did we do to deserve this holmes is being described as this if you live
2:06 am
bring in civil war the way some of the series this is fighting has broken nose 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 dangerous to visit. you know there are areas of the fifty day life struggles on movies and the backdrop of them. you can see the children playing here in the homes that this is the one of the major concerns is as this conflict continues to the safety of the civilians to continue living here in the city 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 we're beginning to home. because they're equal large numbers.
2:07 am
much more than in other cities. a military funeral held yesterday gets underway for 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 to 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. and in the same time preserve our sovereignty so really it depends on the intention do they really want to help syria or corner so that 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
2:08 am
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 seeing to ensure that no more lies. the city of homs. they were based political analyst come out was now believes the opposition's call for foreign intervention is not about protecting civilians about pursuing its own gains. their dream of a change in the regime and collapsing of the regime but there are allies and i think after nine months of that international coalition. against syria it was able to. bring over all the
2:09 am
obstacle that has been brought by these countries i think there is a map that has been drawn for the middle east and they want to somehow for the dream of assad to topple and i think the way things are going it didn't believe. what they called the opposition and that's why you see they don't want they want to still continue the process and. causing instability inside syria. we want unity line from moscow still have for you this hour immersed in death. we'll look at how seemingly prosperous economy is stony as in fact struggling on the poverty line demonstrating the discontent growing within the blog plus. from the business this question of stock markets open woods like. finance ministers were unable to reach an agreement for the measures to overcome the new debt crisis join

me from war in the. north koreans are paying their last respects to their allayed longstanding leader kim jarrell who died of heart attack at the age of sixty nine and saturday his death was only announced on monday and has sent shock waves around the country and the whole region a stream of mourners including his son and successor kim yano and passed by an open coffin the late leader will be buried in a week images from the world's most reclusive nation also show sound of people uncontrollably reaping on the streets meanwhile north korea's neighbors are on high alert following the news of the das fearing it will. spark instability in the region japan's government has called a special security meeting while south korea said it armed 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 who are
2:11 am
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 four million reserve nuclear arms ballistic missiles will they really be subordinated to the new government or will they have a larger stance is probably the key question is how will all of this on what will china china has a very special relationship with north korea it's sort of a love hate strict father versus problem. relationship because 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
2:12 am
regional geopolitics of china so it is the key power in the region. the youngest son of the late north korean chief came ya know and has already been named as a great successor and the people have been told to unite behind him but as independent journalist tim shorrock told r.t. with secrecy surrounding the new leader it's hard to guess what he stayner 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 this year or next to zero military experience but i think what these two leaders this closely
2:13 am
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. when next hour we speak with a former had of the u.n. nuclear watchdog who thinks and he felt pot from foreign powers will destroy the shaky peace in the region. i think it is important that the outside the worlds. does not make them this threats from the outside guys that make them for a look at it in their north korean situation at first of all we know that this within the range for a north korea so even without the you know it as the situation would be at least. you know what it is. there could be
