a very warm welcome to you this is r.t. 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 saudia square back in february say this changes little as the current military rulers are committing the same crimes but excusing it with revolutionary rhetoric aussie's example we can reports from cairo. so young to bold yet old enough to die for his country this boy was just seventeen wanted to kill him on the toughness where 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. 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 very serious criminals to undermine that country's democratic strides and it doesn't matter that they share the same goals and they'd 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 needs for the and to deploy state three months later he was killed in what his brother believes was a government sanctioned shoot them in his little bubble and 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 to 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 kill people themselves 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 on the president of the most is the president of war so that's really 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 current 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 few that there is very little difference between the people who are ruling us no symbol 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 us 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 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 blood is still being spilled on the streets of cairo it's not a boycott artsy it's empty. well in syria the intensive government land and sea assault on the coastal town of the town here is thought to have claimed another twenty lines it's the latest violence in the little crackdown on protesters that is either 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 of weeks ago janet still can't hold artane right western

support the opposition is fueling the fire. two days ago president sad said he was going to allow multi-party system in syria but i think the opposition have 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 treating this 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 view because you know the opposition arbitrators wives why they're absolutely fantastic democrats of course i'm sure there are 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 the opposition must take power but we're going to let me syria is a very helpful tool and if there is a. regime for which we could be into iraq situation where we have seen terry of violence developing we could have attacks on the christian community she immerses sunni and the real fear is that syria could just blow up but we could have

a terrible terrible civil war we've got to prevent that happening and we only way we can benefit from happening is if there's an internal dialogue in syria or one of colonel get out these songs as if the west had let dialogue take place and die in libya the bloodshed could have been stopped for his just some of what you hear from gadhafi in the next hour. with messages from. many countries heard many news from north korea. this is your mistake live yours you give up your weapons of mass destruction you'll stop developing along great new style as you'll be here and go to friendly with the worst and this that is all solved with it means this is a message to everybody that you have your strong you never trust them and you have to be or.

you distrust of the economics ratings agencies is growing with their activities being investigated both in the us and europe while in a dramatic reversal of fortune the shares in standard and poor's parent fell sharply 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 in a strong reaction to the rating downgrade and u.s. well it's the debt standard and poor's took the u.s. from straight aaa student to one notch 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 a lot of it has to do with the failure of the president a stage 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 the other governments that were

a stoic response from the downgrade or that helped 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. 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 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 that missed many of the big bankruptcies they gave high investment is. greetings to lehman to bear stearns right to the very g. they gave a aaa rating to two almost the day they 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

judge of paying the bill and i'm running a big old berkshire 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 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 you would surprise me if they were trying to curry favor with certain politicians 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. and p. because of government debt burden member 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 hour which makes you wonder if the ratings agencies themselves deserve a downgrade lauren lester r.t. washington d.c. . person prime minister david cameron has reiterated the zero tolerance approach to keep england's rises the bay courts have been working through the nine to deal with these hits with almost eight hundred people charged with taking part and britain's rest in decades but still marie says it won't be long before more disorder says arrests alone console the deeper fundamental causes. this isn't something that can simply be. streets with water and plastic bullets it isn't something that can be and it isn't something that will be going posing in prison sentences we've seen one . before jailed for six months for stealing a one pound bottle of water in the united kingdom that was there is greater inequality any point for the last two hundred you're 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 you expect if you show people repeatedly the most expensive consumer goods tell them. sell 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 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 and simply doing the police more powers even the police have recognized that we. would solve the problem. violence cranes that or tap and ship this with the stadiums to it

a year remaining until the final game of the euro twenty 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 could face serious sanctions from the european football governing bodies. are reporting from kiev in ukraine. but it's not just in the sports stadium. back on the streets in ukraine i feel self. deception this is wrong this is victory day commemorations. hundred. two veterans. now at free video dot com. israel might be planning to launch

a new war on lebanon at least that's what some protesters in tel aviv are fearing five years after the deadly assault on its northern neighbor well they believe a new conflict could also be used to shift attention from israel's ongoing social protest as well as trying to topple 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 threw out 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. to just avoid defense of war they want

to be for themselves while blaming the war 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 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 there must be. peacefully muster month solutions to. the obama ties do so event. short on them. there will be people who. should work. this is really what everybody 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 paula c.r.t. . when if you head to r.t. dot com you can hear the iranian president's assessment of the arab world turbulence and his battle to convince the world of his intention. to salute the

with the same kind of optimism into this trading week that was after the worst volatile week since september two thousand and eight it's always a combination of dead downgrades and weak economic data have made investors exceptionally nervous but despite a two day rally david jones from i g index believes the market may still plunge deeper. 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 that 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
