the region. we're going to be the transformative moment for example a leg up or justice in america despite critics warning the anti-corporate protests would not last until the winter and police have a hand in this three months on the occupy movement is still gaining momentum. this is already coming to you live from moscow marina joshua welcome to the program now 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 to and a 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 have already say they are fighting extremist armed groups operating in the country r.t. sara for of has been to one of the flashpoints in the ongoing unrest. we're here in the embattled city of homs and you can hear heavy gunfire in the background but it's really hard to the sheer insurances of the civilian population here live here as we're called to wait a month after month to ensure this conflict the on going violence is taking its toll ticky abducted there are neighborhoods that have been suffocated surrounded by armed groups there many people who have been kidnapped who had enough who did we do to deserve this holmes is being described as a city on the brink of civil war where some of the series fiercest fighting has broken hours driving through the streets there are clear signs of conflicts bullet

holes in window panes and he was slogans on walls and as a heavy military presence we went able to visit some of the areas where concentrated fighting was continuing it would be empty dangerous to visit. us in other areas of the city day life struggles on movies and to the backdrop of gunfire . you can see the children playing here in the homes that this is day one of the major. others conflict continues for the safety of the civilians they 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 very beginning homes it was because the numbers of. much more than. the military funeral held yesterday gets under way for 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 facilitate their visits to syria 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 being slammed 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 pros or 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 follow and seeing to ensure that no more lives lost sara . the city of homs. they were based political analyst carmel was a vote winner of 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 materialize and they think after nine months of that international coalition western and some gold country against syria syria was able to fast. 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 the

regime of assad to topple and i think the way things are going it didn't please but there are a 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 in the process and causing instability inside syria today is after an oil rig capsized off russia's far east coast the search for any survivors has become desperate dozens are still missing in the freezing waters while seven of the survivors found have now arrived back on land argues jacob grief has met them in the port of the coastal region nearest to where the tragedy occurred. does 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 said

abrasion and a lot of intel that a lot of people stores are still with what's ongoing at least people who lost probably work colleagues and friends almost all righ 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 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 a line of sea based sank a whole rig 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 testimonies of what occurred one theory though so far is that it's already flooded with water then capsized very quickly within about twenty minutes and sank in people very little time to get out and that has been stationed already opened up here there is further inquiry colonel kay said 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. jake of greece reporting there more on the maritime tragedy in the russian far east can be found on our website r.t. dot com 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 lifeboats so log onto our web site r.t. dot com to find out more. north koreans are paying their

last respects to their allayed so longstanding leader kim yong alle who died of heart attack at the age of sixty nine on 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 open coffin the late leader will be buried in a week images from the world's most reclusive nation also show thousands of people uncontrollably reaping on the streets meanwhile north korea's neighbors are on high alert following the news of the 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 a standoff between china and america. important thing here to understand

is that for example the top of 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 these probably the key question is how will all of this on hold 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 as i cannot see how are . these things 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 kim yaddo and has already been named as a 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 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. what about twenty minutes time we speak with the former head of the u.n. nuclear watchdog thinks and 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 nervous and the threats from the outside bites it makes them for a look at it in their north korean situation at first of all we know that with you know to rearrange for other north korea so even without the you know it as the situation would be a risky one. you will hear what it is that could be a risk also of encouraging. forces in japan.

three months and it seems no one is backing out the occupy movement and the u.s. is celebrating another anniversary as it continues to defy critics and gain momentum arches us to say it is a new york was 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 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 in 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 restoration in anger with america is this time now i think that we've kind of injected the idea of economic inequality and see the public discourse to my last three cars that it would not last long enough to deliver any significant message but three months into the biggest nationwide movement the west hears 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 could 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 these revolutions are really what the media ridiculed them is a joke they just have a party in their minds and is it trying to have burning man 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 facts 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 with pretty resilient i think you know in a short amount of time and occupy 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 their all the real reasons the protests and the movement will continue
