we'll be back in court on monday as the trial continues but those who were on tahrir square back in february say these changes little as the current military rulers are committing the same cries but excusing it with revolutionary rhetoric ortiz was on a boy to reports from cairo. too young to vote yet old enough to die for his country this boy was just seventeen wanted to kill him on the tougher square last winter today he's portrayed adorns one of cairo central thoroughfares there's even a talk of naming a street in his name what makes someone and more appear and another well in the age of right now if the date of death of those gunned down prior to mubarak's resignation celebrated its patriots who lives with a brighter future of their country those killed after his ousting sometimes are free to ask criminals to undermine their country's democratic strides it doesn't

matter that they share the same goals and they have these days just this is about power and knowing the other way around this young man also counted himself among the children of the revolution but his older brother he celebrated mubarak's departure from power or to taking it for the and to police state three months later he was killed in what his brother believes was a government sanctioned shoot them in his little bubble and on the snipers showed my brother dead the bullet went through his fool hit and it came out on the other side and i saw it that no one here has a weapon like this only soldiers. like sam least of victims whose deaths are now being pinned on mubarak these people receive no monetary compensation for their loss in stocks they're increasingly worried that the new military authorities may persecute them a studs is became an all encompassing term for those who don't appreciate the ruling military. and i guess we expected the army to intervene to protect people

who just don't minds but instead they started to keep people. who didn't expect. that the supreme council of the armed forces as an interim caretaker when mubarak stepped down. brought to power by the protests the generals nevertheless don't show much liking for mass gatherings the cradle of the egyptian revolution is now cordoned off by riot police those caught protesting accused of public disturbance and sent to military trials in the last seven months there have been more people put on military trials than the number of people that were put under president of the. president of war so that syrian president mubarak's regime individually of course there are thousands of cases that have been put. been arrested and put on trial and sentenced within the span of two to five days

sent horrible sentences starting from three years up to twenty five years as a core of his forehead still hasn't healed but these activists believe he got off lightly from he's encountered with the police a month ago a son of the former presidential contender who was jailed by the mubarak's regime nourse as the new authorities are just a brutalized version of the all it's extremely clear that there is very little difference between the people who are ruling us no. and that many of the crimes the hosting were committed to his people are currently being committed. to us now by the people who are ruling is the supreme council of armed forces. whether it is using violence or oppressing. the public or even if it's manipulating public opinion but sadly in this is what hurts more

because these crimes are now being committed with the disguise of the revolution he gives these bloody t. shirt as a reminder that the egyptian revolution is far from over the former president is now on trial for his role in the mass killings but the broad is still being spilt on the streets of cairo it's not a boycott artsy it's empty. in syria the intense government land and sea assault on the coastal town of latakia is thought to have claimed another twenty lolling it's the latest violence in the brutal crackdown on protestors that seen over one thousand seven hundred people killed since march global pressure is mounting on the country's president to kick start reforms and stop the bloodshed assad made some promises weeks ago that his journey is clark told r.t. the outright western support for the opposition is fueling the violence. ten days ago president sad said he was going to allow multi-party system in syria but i

think the opposition been emboldened by the support they are getting from foreign countries such as the usa france etc and i think that's what's really creating is very dangerous situation where we could be heading into civil war and we don't know too much about the opposition and we're all seeing things in the west through a very sort of biased view because you know the opposition are betrayed is why it's why they're absolutely fantastic democrats of course i'm sure the people in your position who are like that but when we contrast it with the situation in bahrain we didn't get these statements from the u.s. saying that the government must go to the opposition must take power but we're going to let in syria is a very helpful tool and if there is a. regime falls we could be into iraq situation where we have seen terry in violence develop we could have attacks on the christian community she immerses sunni and the real fear is that syria could just blow up with you know a terrible terrible civil war we've got to prevent that happening and we only way we can prevent nothing happening is if there's internal dialogue in syria one of

colonel gadhafi son says if the west had let dialogue take place in libya the bloodshed could have been stopped or his some of what you'll hear from saif gadhafi later this hour. you got messages from. many countries. many news from north korea. this is your mistake you give up your weapons of mass destruction you are developing a new start you will be here and got a friend with the worst and this that is all so it means this is a message to everybody that you have you strong you never trust. you have to be. under. the economic situations agency is growing with that everything is being investigated both in the us and europe and there's a massive reversal of fortune the same as in standard and poor's parent. for the

past week while investors keep pouring money into u.s. treasury bonds. investigates with the credit ratings are actually credible breaking news the united states has just lost its top notch aaa credit rating from it was the downgrade heard round the world in a strong reaction to the rating downgrade gold and u.s. well it's dead standard and poor's took the u.s. from straight aaa student to one not below for the first time ever bad marks were handed down for the nation's debt and politicians inability to agree on rein it in a two party downgrade in a lot of it has to do with the failure of the president of states i think this is a tea party problem the greater in chief says the u.s. is becoming a bit more unpredictable in terms of. sort of the other governments that we still work response from the downgrade or that help to ratchet up that the yeah tricks of the debt ceiling debate with the help of the other ratings agencies of

course stealing the show from bickering politicians with their eyes on the debt deal they may be missing really a larger concern because there is growing evidence today that the u.s. credit score is going to get hit now that the u.s. has gotten hit just how much does s. and p's. mark actually count well not much according to some like investor jim rogers but it's not because the country isn't broke america is going down the tubes where the largest debtor nation in the history of the world it's because of the source these late rating agencies have been wrong about nearly everything for the past ten or fifteen years don't pay any attention to them so just how does the report card stack up for the major ratings agencies themselves they are s.n.p. moody's and fitch let's assess test one the mortgage crisis of two thousand and eight these are the same agencies that rated the toxic sub prime dead aaa so i mean how do we take them with any level of credibility after that well let's see if they

get any from tess to the too big to fail banks and insurers during the financial crisis and they've missed many of the big bankruptcies they gave high investment good ratings to lehman to bear stearns right to the very g. they gave a aaa rating to tow almost the day it collapsed good grades for firms that collapsed or were bailed out because of bad debt in fact the financial crisis inquiry commission said the three credit ratings agencies were key enablers of the financial meltdown and this brings us to test three ethics ratings agencies are paid by the investment firms they grade and moody's and s. and p. are publicly traded which means they may be more driven to increase profits for shareholders raising this debate right now you have the companies that are being judged paying the bill and i'm rounding a big goal of berkshire but mr buffett also pointed out the market requires it because these ratings agencies have been around forever so they're in shrine by

government regulations which oh yeah they have a stake in test for objectivity frank legislation the financial reform has restrictions on rating agencies and the rules that are yet to be written and they care a huge deal about what those rules end up looking like saw it would surprise me if they were trying to curry favor with all. in fact they've spent a combined total of one point seven six million dollars this year lobbying washington over the regulations which brings us full circle to the downgrade of u.s. credit the u.s. was downgraded by s.m.p. because of government debt berman were the government ran up that debt in part because it bailed out the big banks and a.i.g. back in two thousand and eight remember the one saddled with all of those bad mortgage bonds which the ratings agencies graded triple a when in reality they were a d. or an f. which makes you wonder if the ratings agencies themselves deserve a downgrade lauren lyster r. t. washington d.c. or british prime minister david cameron has reiterated the zero tolerance approach

to keep england's rushes the bay courts have been working through the night to do with with almost one hundred people challenge for taking part in britain's worst on rest in decades. reeses it won't be long before more disorder erupts his arrest and loan console the deeper fundamental causes. this isn't something that can simply be . the streets with water cannon and plastic bullets it isn't something that can be and it isn't something that will be going posing in prison so that it would seem one teenage boy jailed for six months for stealing a one pound fifty bottle of water in the united kingdom that was there is greater inequality any point for the last two hundred year shot is going to have to go back to the days of the slave trade to find such a disparity between the rich and of course we want to you expect if you show people repeatedly the most expensive consumer goods tell them that their self-worth in

life but their respect from other people will be judged by the degree to which they can obtain these goods and then deny them the ability to get them either because the wages also low or because there are no jobs at all because of endemic politics this is the combustible material that's been building up at the bottom of british society for a generation that no i don't really the surprise is not that the riots happened but that they have before these are some of the issues that have to be addressed i'm simply going to please more powers even the police have recognized that we. would solve the problem. now brutal violence crane's football championship this month with stadiums to it after he tried to balance featuring the names of the nazi collaborators it's thought now narcism now is deeply rooted in fan culture and that it had high level support from the orange revolution leaders from two thousand and

four but as ours is there are reports it's a headache for the current government with a crane just a co-host next championship. the beautiful game turned ugly in the second half of the first of several dozen fans brutally attacked by steward he was trying to take down banner supporting world war two insurgent army leaders. and. he says he was simply trying to enforce the law yeah. i saw the banners and i asked the fans to remove them. so no political agitation can be used for the ballgame they refused and i tried to take them down the next thing i remember someone hitting me on the head and dozens of kicking me on the ground. which is status has long been the main talking point in ukraine some here see them as freedom fighters and heroes others that's the majority of the population call them nazi collaborators in the one nine hundred forty s.

they fought alongside the german inflate is killing civilians russians poles and jews without mercy more than sixty years later and it was nearly killed as well but he's not sorie about his actions. in a criminal. place were not banners are being hung by the attack the red army veterans of the i me the ninth the sheer ukrainian football is no stranger to off pitch violence and nazi slogans the same football fans who cost with the police are often seen in the marches at times carrying symbols for bitten by football organizations. some experts blame the trend on the ideology of the previous administration. nationalism has been radicalized in ukraine because for five years it's been strongly supported by the ruling elite you know ultra rights. are infiltrating football supporters and nobody does anything about. thirty you

know the football clubs the dyno marquis of clubs says it carries no direct responsibility for the. incident with andre green's people who want to go. to ukraine. to these laws. everything to avoid incidents like this where people are provocateurs and. it's an excuse that would not stand up next year when ukraine and poland co-host the european football championship with the eyes of europe focused on t.v. betters commemorating the likes of which is still a feature in twenty twelve could seriously harm the country's reputation for instance paul has no second opinion about them calling them nazi war criminals with less than a year remaining until key of the final game of the euro twenty twelve championship is brand new stadium looks set to be completed on schedule the question is whether the authorities would be able to use their remaining time to get rid of hooliganism

and racism not tolerated in europe if not experts say then give could face serious sanctions from the european football governing bodies. r.t. reporting from kiev in ukraine. well it's not just in the sports stadiums either. in the streets in ukraine is in. free video section. this is victory day commemorations in the western city of the volga hundreds of chanting praise banal to collaborate isn't something you veterans. the video dr martin. israel might be planning to launch a new war on lebanon at least that's what peace activists and protesters in tel aviv a ferry exactly five years after the last deadly assault on a. new conflict. tension from israel's own ongoing social protest

as well as trying to talk from power. five years on instance the last israel lebanon wall and israelis are convinced his below is re arming itself backed by syria and iran. unfortunately. in the situation to a much bigger. war. the goal of which to wipe out hezbollah to disarm and to add one last. enemy of the border but say the critics thinking a war is inevitable is simple israeli propaganda churned out for their own purposes various like you or i would have five years very slowly very large. defense of war we want to be first themselves. from the beginning but if war is on the

cards now is as good a time as any syrian president bashar assad is struggling to stay in power and hizbullah in lebanon can't be sure of his support a fall of the syrian regime may create a new government which may want to shift away from the iranian alliance in turn then my trigger is but then my trigger is are all to go and try to take as well when it's a week at some point. and as fate would have it it's not only his beloved that's weak israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is facing me toughest challenge of his two and a half year premiership these social protests are now entering their fourth week and the demand for netanyahu to make drastic change is as loud as ever which is why some suggest there's nothing like a wall to quieten these young protesters it's certainly the good old temptation of these people who are conducting the process. are the same people who go to the army to fight a war and such a war would also potentially distract the united nations and international

community from work igniting a palestinian state which is on the cards for approval next month policy to it start their mom. peace for must there months later and to. dramatize this event and israeli army if we're short on them. there will be people you. should back. and then you haven't even if this is really what everybody is quickly preparing for and among the occasional border skirmishes and aerial incursions it's really just a matter of time until the next full scale conflict pulis t.r.t. tel aviv. but if you had to ask dot com you can hear the iranian president's is that event of the events and the conclusions to draw from it. it was a look at the nuclear weapons help the israelis to gain victory in lebanon and gaza nuclear weapons other weapons of the previous century. but the initiative also

exceptionally nervous so despite the two day rally david jones from i g index believes risk is still high. the risk is even though we've had a fairly quiet couple of days the risk is we could carry on going lower in the weeks ahead it's very similar the sort of moves we're seeing in markets to what was happening three years ago when we had the banking crisis and then we had plenty of volatility big slides go quiet for bear and then just move lowry galloping we had seeing quite a big change in sentiment towards stock markets over the last few weeks you know investors are very worried about the situation and of course we have the u.s. that went down to the wire getting their debt ceiling raised we had the downgrade by the u.s. we've still got all these problems in continental europe with italy and spain so growth isn't very good there is there in the risk of a double dip recession but i think the immediate risk is stock markets to slide a bit for. a second look at how the markets looking this we saw with commodities
