we're going to be the transformative moment for a certain economic justice in america because white police have had in this critics warning beyond corporate protest would not last until the winter three months on the occupy movement is still gaining momentum. global news twenty four seven this is our two live 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 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 groups operating inside the country now r.t. sarah ferguson into one of the flash points in the ongoing unrest. here in the embattled city of homs and you can hear heavy gunfire in the background that is really hard to insurance is that the civilian population here lives here as we call it the week a month after month they've had to endure this conflict. to deal is taking its toll he added that there are neighborhoods that are being suffocated surrounded by armed groups there many people who have been could not have had enough did we do deserve this homs is being described as this bring in civil rule waste in this series this is fighting his breaking out. joining through the streets there are clear signs of conflicts and when day pains. slogans on walls is

a heavy military presence we went able to visit some of the areas where concentrated fighting was continuing it would be dangerous to visit. us in other areas of the city day life struggles on. the backdrop of gunfire. you can see the children playing in the homes that this is day one of the major. others conflict continues for 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 very beginning home. because the numbers. are much more than in other cities. yesterday gets under way to 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 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 of course. was the decision to land 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 if that is 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 show the name or lives. the city of homs. meantime a beirut based political analyst to come out and they believe 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 met there are allies and they think after nine months of that international coalition western and some gulf country again syria syria was able to steadfast and prevail over all the obstacles 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

there a dream of our side 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 instigation and causing instability inside syria. you're watching r t life in 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 stopped behind me a servant out of the total number of survivors i saw fourteen or so far been pulled alive from these icy waters and as they docked have their wrists first experienced since this ordeal of stepping on to dry land no doubt there is

a sense of relief in the air particularly 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 as time lapses time passes for the discharge of finding survivors is to win the link if you expose two extreme elements to face a second night at sea rescue so far found that all the lifeboats mean that there are no there's no shelter for any potential survivors to take cover in exposed to extreme elements in temperatures 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 investigation has 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 on 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 bore the life it's no longer our dot com to find are. so many terminals past the hour here in moscow north koreans are paying their last respects to their late longstanding 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 leader 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 of these 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 any 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. 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 a shark told us here about sea 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 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. 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'll look at how a seemingly prosperous economy that it is. is in fact struggling on the poverty

line demonstrating the discontent and growing within the bloc plus. business we continue to look into the games and benefits. russia becomes a member of that of its journey for a full bullets and i'm just. now at 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. 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 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 volunteer on september seventeenth with this momentous moment of frustration and anger when the fact is this time now i think that we've kind of injected the idea of economic inequality and see the public discourse occupy wall street class try to get that it would not last long enough to deliver any significant message but three months it was the biggest nationwide movement there was a scene here 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 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 i would love to see a peaceful revolution or really would the media ridiculed them as a joe citizen of a party and their message is it trying to have burning right now. but kidding they were not. 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 relax. camp 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 lording it over everyone the economy is in trouble foreclosures are continuing they're all the real reasons for 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 maybe for social and economic justice in america you. are. now a quarter past the hour here in moscow if you 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 is used. in siberia with one hundred emergency workers sent to deal with the desire to find out what caused the blaze dot com. a protest to far the well known group of
