the biggest issues get the human voice face to face with the news makers. to the q. that there is very little difference between the people who are ruling as well and the world the former egyptian leader has banks of course but i want to say those who have placed him in power are committing the same crimes but one of the guys of revolution. fears that israel is plotting and new assault to wipe out hezbollah in lebanon five years after the last deadly exchanges with the hope of pulling social protests that have. been useful game becomes an argue the putting ground in ukraine authorities anxious that hooligans could ruin the hosting of next year's you wait for car. and global financial markets ahead in

preferred straight session of games but experts tell business of seeds too early to relax and the risk of a double dip still remains more in the absence of words and. a very warm welcome to this is live from moscow egypt's former leader hosni mubarak will be back in court on monday as his trial resumes but those who were on site here square back in february say this changes little as the current military rulers are committing the same crimes but excusing it with revolutionary rhetoric ozzy's example we can reports from cairo. too young to vote yet old enough to die for his country this war was just seventeen wanted to kill him on the tuckers where last winter today things were trees are dorn's one of. third fairs there's

even a talk of naming his street in his name what makes someone and more it's here and. well in egypt right now if the date of death then you've gone down prior to mubarak's resignation celebrated its patriots who lives with the brighter future of their country those killed after he's out think sometimes are very curious criminals not to undermine their countries democratic strides it doesn't matter that they shared the same goals and they'd have these days just this is about power and not be other way around this young man also khalid from south among the children of the revolution with his older brother he celebrated mubarak's departure from power on top of taking needs for the and to the police they later he was killed it was his brother believes was a government sanctioned shoot out them in his little bubble and on the snipers should my brother did. it and it came down to me and i saw it no one

here has a weapon my. life families the victims whose deaths and now being pinned on the guard these people receive no monetary compensation for their loss in fact they're increasingly worried that the new military authorities may persecute them a struggle 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 mind and instead of being started to kill people themselves we didn't expect. to be. the supreme council of the armed forces as an interim caretaker when mubarak stepped down. but powered by the protests the generals nevertheless don't show much like him from mass gatherings the cradle of the egyptian revolution is now cordoned off by riot police those caught protesting

of public disturbance and sansom military trials in the last seven months there have been more people put on military trials than the number of people that were poor milty intro's under president of the most is the president of most of the syrian president mubarak's regime individually of course there are thousands of cases that have been put. been arrested and put on child and sentenced within the span of two to five days sent horrible sentences starting from three years up to twenty five years that's currently forehead still hasn't healed but these activists believes he got off lightly from season counter with the police a month ago a son of the former presidential contender was jailed by the mubarak's regime northstar as the new authorities are just a brutal eight version of the all it's extremely few that there is very little difference between the people who are ruling us know. that many of the crimes the

whole thing go to committed to speak 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 of these crimes are now being committed with the disguise of the revolution it is 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 block is still being spilled on the streets of cairo it's not a boycott artsy it's a. but in syria the intensive government land and sea assault on the pistol town of the time here is thought to have claimed another twenty lines it's the latest

violence in the brutal crackdown on protesters this is the level 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 made some promises of weeks ago but as janet still can't r.t. best incident this nation is feeling the fight. two days ago said it was going well now the system in syria but i think the opposition been emboldened by the support they're getting from foreign countries such as the usa france and so i think that's what's really crazy is very dangerous situation where we could be heading into civil war and we don't know too much about you who we are all seeing things in the west who are very sort of view because you know look the opposition to trey's rights and why they're absolutely fantastic democrats of course i'm sure the people who you are like that but when we contrast it with the situation in bahrain we didn't get the statements from the u.s. saying that the government must go the opposition must take only syria is

a very helpful tool and if there is a. new regime for it we could be into iraq situation where we have six tarion violence that we could have attacks all the christian community she a mercenary and the real fear is that syria could just blow up and we have a terrible terrible civil war we've got to prevent that happening and the only way you can bring that from happening is if there's an internal dialogue in syria. and one of. the west that let dialogue take place in libya the bloodshed could have been stopped or here's just some of what you hear from it or in the next hour . we've got messages from. many countries and you heard many news from north korea. this is you mistake live us you give up your weapons of mass destruction you'll start developing a long great new start and you'll be here good friend with the worst of this that

is. solved with news this is a message to everybody that you have you strong you never trust. you have to be over with. distrust of the economics ratings agencies is growing with their activities being investigated both in the us and europe dramatic reversal of fortune the shares of standard and poor's parent found. over the past week while investors keep pouring money into u.s. treasury bonds or nestor investigates whether the crazing ratings are actually credible. breaking news the united states has just lost its top notch triple a credit rating from it was the downgrade heard around the world and the strong reaction to the rating downgrade china has grown the u.s. while it's bad standard and poor's took the u.s. from straight aaa student to one notch below for the first time ever that marks

were handed down for the nation's debt and politicians inability to agree on rein it in a tea party downgrade a lot of it has to do with the failure of the president of the stage to think this is a tea party problem the greater in chief says the u.s. is recovery more unpredictable and. the government still work response from the downgrade or that helped 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 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's going down the tubes we're the largest debtor nation in the history of the world it's because of the

source these low 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. and 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 debt 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 tests to the too big to fail banks and insurers during the financial crisis but it missed many of the big bankruptcy is a good investment. we meant to bear stearns right to the very g. they gave a aaa rating to. 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 for paying the bill and they could walk around in a big old bird but mr buffett also pointed out the market requires it because these ratings agencies has been around forever so they're in shrine by government regulations which oh yeah they have a stake in test for objectivity for 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 and. it would surprise me if they were trying to curry favor with cultivations 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 us in p. because of government debt or member of the government ran up that debt in part because it bailed out the big banks then a.i.g. back in two thousand and eight 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 hour which makes me wonder if the ratings agencies themselves deserve a downgrade lauren lyster r.t. washington d.c. . person prime minister david cameron has reiterated the zero tolerance approach to england's rises of bay courts have been working through the nine to deal with you since with almost eight hundred people charged with taking part in britain's worst on rest in decades. only says it won't be long before more disorder rob says arrests alone console the deeper fundamental causes. this isn't something that can simply be. streets with water. it isn't something that can be

and it isn't something that will go real going posing a prison sentence we've seen one. before in jail for six months for stealing the bottle of water in the united kingdom though there is greater inequality. for the last two hundred. days of the slave trade of buying such a just for the rich and of course what you expect if you show people repeatedly the most expensive consumer goods tell them. sell or they live 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 or you there because the wage is also low or because there are no jobs at all because of. politics this is the combustible material that's been building up at the bottom of british society for a generation i don't really the surprise is not that the riots happened before

these are some of the issues that have to do you address than simply doing the police more powers even the police have recognized. the words all the problem. political violence modern cranes that ship this or the stadiums to it beaten after he tried to remove. the names of an article operators it's though not as and now is deeply rooted in fact that it has high level support from the orange revolution leaders from two thousand and four result is that as you have assessed reports as a headache for the current government of ukraine due to co-host euro championship. the beautiful game turned ugly in the second half of the nomic you versus kind of party leave off several dozen fans brutally attacked as steward he was trying to take down banners supporting world war two insurgent army leaders. and the months ahead each hundred he says he was simply trying to enforce the law.

banners and asking fans to remove them this violated the norm that no political agitation can be used in football games they refuse to try to take them down myself the next thing i remember is someone hitting me on the head and dozens of feet kicking me on the ground. here 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 maturity of the population call them nazi collaborators in the 1940's they forced alongside the german invaders killing civilians russians poles and jews without mercy more than sixty years later and it was nearly killed as well but he's not sorry about his actions. there and the russian criminals is no place for. these banners are being hung by the same people who attack red army veterans of the night fish year 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 nationalist marches at times carrying symbols for didn't buy food bowl organizations in europe some experts blame the trend on the ideology of the previous administration. ultra nationalism has been radicalized in ukraine because for five years it's been strongly supported by the ruling elites no ultra right near nazi movements or infiltrating football supporters and nobody does anything about either the authorities know the football clubs i do know marquis of clubs says it carries no direct responsibility for. incident with under the green. slogans like to ukraine gluten heroes. these laws in ukraine everything to avoid incidents like this one these 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 clear commemorating the likes of which featuring 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 course 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 but it's not just in the sports stadiums either. back on the streets in ukraine either as you can see for yourself. video section this is wrong this is victory day commemorations of the western for. hundreds of

years chanting praise banal to collaborators and assaulting water war two veterans footage is online now and free video on t.v. . israel might be planning to launch a new war on lebanon at least that's what peace activists and protesters in tel aviv are fearing five years after. on its northern neighbor where they believe a new conflict could also be used to shift attention from israel's own ongoing social protest as well as trying to topple hezbollah from power. five years on since the last israel living on wall and israelis are convinced his below is re arming itself backed by syria and iran but we can anticipate unfortunately to go your usual in the situation where much.

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 . it would have five years. of war we all prefer 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 his below eleven on contribution of his support for 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 there might trigger israel 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 these women prime minister benjamin netanyahu is facing the toughest challenge

of his two and a half year premiership these social protests are now into this 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 certainly the great compassion because people who are productive reporters. are the same people over to the army to fight a war and such a war would also potentially distract the united nations and international community from working and i think a palestinian state which is on the cards for approval next month policy and for it the more must the. peaceful must be a month later and. dramatize does event and israeli army short on them. there will be people you. should back. and then you have. this is really what everybody is quickly preparing for and among

a cold snap will continue through to wednesday. powerful suicide explosions followed by gunfire have she. usually peaceful and provincial capital chatting killing twenty it's not reported he targeted in the top security stop in the gulf and its official residence the taliban says it's behind the bonnets which constitute the gradual handover of security from foreign to afghan chiefs contributions that it's high time the american falls they've found that keeping that powder dry and thinking that strategically is that is the hardest time. last week in afghanistan and during the operation in one of the province u.s. special operation forces suffered a humorist casualties have been experienced by the u.s. military during that ten years off operation enduring freedom what makes situation even worse this same type of disaster struck in two thousand and five the

province when you see the helicopter was shot down under similar circumstances since then u.s. special operation forces as well insufficient time to analyze and evaluate and to make sure that these started off disaster we'll never struck at the heart of this special operation forces community and especially in afghanistan and pakistan a good man lesson for the u.s. commander in afghanistan he's led their regular e.g. to do their three cups of tea counterinsurgency you know get it stale and please keep in strategic reserve special operations command and their team members for the most challenging and the most daunting tasks such as counter-proliferation counterterrorism and count on our cottage.

not the way it needs it since our i don't get a business update now with me tree. as the world's financial markets ended last week on the high notes they are moving with the same kind of optimism into this trading week that was after the worst of volatile weeks in september two thousand and eight it was a combination of dead downgrades we get on the days of made investors exceptionally nervous but despite a two day rally david jones from i g index believes the market may still plunge the . 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 a bit and then just move you are again i think we have seen quite

a big change in sentiment towards the stock markets over the last few weeks you know investors are very worried about the situation of course we have the u.s. that went down to the wire carrying that debt ceiling raised we have a 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 is there in the risk of a double dip recession but i think the immediate risk here is for the stock markets to slide a bit further. let's look at how the markets and looking this start with commodities with the black gold oil that's marginally up as confidence in economic recovery slowly returns to the market like sweden brant just around ten cents each. precious metals however are flat to negative and gold is down point two percent of the hitting record highs on thursday of eighteen hundred dollars but troy ounce silver is just around thirty nine dollars per ounce the south. asian markets up on the rise the supported by better than expected japanese economic data and that solid

u.s. retail sales exporters are the main game is on the nikkei they're recovering from friday's heavy losses carmakers to turn on the both up more than two percent meanwhile financial stocks are among the best performers in home clone h.s.b.c. up for service up. russian forces will open in around the house for now it's one hour now they managed to close on friday in the black for the first strong session in a more than a week three percent my sixty percent. now for investors who are keen to jump into the russian market at the moment it's a western front that's on says the range of interesting stories to consider limited . where you want to be if you have to be in russia it's going to be telecom selected consumers and some select neutral to select victims is difficult because of the election side to it but i do think when it when it comes to cyclical stocks you have to be very careful financials in russia looks fantastic to be honest but

the problem is that when you see the market goes down because of the financial crisis you are going to see financials being hit in europe and the us the russian banks that are listed at and our previous song will get punished by association doing business r.t. if you can in fifteen minutes time we'll have a preview of the opening of the new trading week in no rush alice is next with a hell. of a. lot .
