the critics warning. would not last until the three months on the occupy movement is still gaining momentum. global news twenty four seven this is the line from moscow with me. 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 end the 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 new over its crackdown on the. when protesters say they are fighting

extremist groups operating inside the country. has been to one of the flashpoints and the on going on trust. we're here in the embattled city of homs and you can hear heavy gunfire in the background but it's really hard to share insurance as a civilian population here live here as we called to wait a month after month to ensure this conflict. is taking its toll dickie arbiter 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 homes is being described as a city on the brink of civil war where some of the series this is fighting his breaking out. driving through the streets there are clear signs of conflicts bullet holes and when day pains and slogans 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. us in other areas of the city day life struggles own movie it's in the backdrop that. you can see the chosen playing here in the homes that this is the one of the major concerns is 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 has a deep seated sectarian conflicts with their heads. from the very beginning home. because their numbers. are much more than. a military funeral held yesterday gets under way for five soldiers killed by what the government says is an increase in the militant. and on the same day with calls from the. position the harrowing accounts is 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 visit the city. in the same time preserve our sovereignty so really it depends on the intention do they really want to help syria. 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 rising death toll with facts and information still very hard to verify even on the ground the observers arrival 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 the neighbor who lives. the city of homs. meantime a beirut based political analyst believes that the opposition's call for foreign intervention is not about protecting civilians but rather all about pursuing its own interests. their dream of a change in their regime and collapsing of the regime not that there are lies and they 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 obstacle 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 their g.m. of assad to topple and i think the way things are going it didn't please.

god and it didn't please what they called the opposition and that's why you see they don't want they want to still continue the process and to geisha and cause instability inside syria you're watching r t live from moscow now two days after an oil rig capsized off russia's far east coast the search for any surprise survivors has now become desperate dozens still missing in the freezing waters seven of the survivors found have now arrived back on land. greaves has met them in the port of the coastal region nearest to where the tragedy occurred. on the boat this just stuck behind me a seven out of the total number of survivors i saw fourteen or so far been pulled alive from these icy waters and as they dock would have their wrists first experience since this ordeal is stepping on to dry land no doubt there is a sense of relief in the air chiefly for those who have been involved in this from

the very starts but attention now really focused on those who still haven't been found thirty seven still missing and this time lapses time passes for the discharge of finding survivors is to win they've been exposed to extreme elements to face a second night at sea rescue so far found all the lifeboats mean that there are no there's no shelter for any potential survivors to take cover in very exposed to sri where moments of tension is minus ten degrees celsius here colder our set c. now we're looking into reasoning so why so far this actually occurred in the first place the whole rig sank within about just twenty minutes on sunday have a very quickly one of the reasons before for that is that it field of water therefore capsized and sank a full of proper investigations already started and so have criminal proceedings and they're looking into why exactly this oil rig was being towed in such bad

weather conditions. and then more of the maritime tragedy in the russian far east can be found on our website r.t. dot com as 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 explain why so many people fail to board the life long for our people dot com to find out. so many terminus past the hour here in moscow north koreans are paying their last respects to their late long standing leader kim jong il who died of a heart attack at the age of sixty nine. on saturday his death was only announced on monday and has since sent shock waves all around the country and the whole region a stream of mourners including his son and a successor kim jong un passed by an open coffin it's expected the late leave there will be buried in about a week's time images from the world's most reclusive nation also show thousands of

people uncontrollably weeping on the streets meanwhile north korea's neighbors are on high alert following the news of the death fearing that it will spark instability in the region japan's government has called a special security meeting with south korea saying that it's already armed and it's combat ready but some experts believe that peace on the korean peninsula is determined not by relations between the north and south rather by the standoff ongoing between china and the u.s. . important thing here to understand is that for example the korea being on military alert it's not south korea that is our military 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 and 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 all about eight strict father versus problem. i cannot see how or if you need 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 power in the region. and the youngest son of the late north korean chief kim jong un has already been named as the great successor and the people have been told to unite behind him but as independent journalist tim shock told us here about see with secrecy surrounding the new leader it's hard to guess what his tenure would actually 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 leaders this closely held leadership in north korea once is the symbol of their regime and this is a clear you know successor symbol they can they can use to continue their power it's good to have you with us today you're watching on t.v. and still ahead for you in the program immersed in debt we look at how a seemingly prosperous economy that it is. is in fact struggling on the poverty line demonstrating the discontent is growing within the bloc plus. as we

continue to look into games and benefits. russia becomes a member of the journey for a full bullets and. just tonight is. now a three twelve pm here in moscow three months in and it seems no one is backing out of the occupy movement in the u.s. is celebrating another anniversary as it continues to defy critics and gain momentum he's an associate is in 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 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. occupy wall street has just marked its three month anniversary of what we volunteer on september seventeenth with this momentous moment of 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 how come i walk free. that it would not last long enough to deliver any significant message but three months into the previous nationwide movement there was just too many years 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 spawn 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 what the media ridiculed them as a joke they did not have a party in their lives and is a trying to have burning right now. but kidding they were not. just 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 acts rocks. after being evicted from zuccotti park. attempting 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 lording it over everyone the economy is in trouble foreclosures are continuing to grow all these 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. on economic justice in america. now a quarter past the hour here in moscow to remember there's always plenty of more stories on our website a quick look now what's in store for you there at the moment an airport. in siberia hundred emergency workers sent to deal with. find out what caused the blaze dot com . a protest to far well known group of topless activists have been missing for twenty four hours now staging one of the demos against the better russian president
