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 body is still being spilt on the streets of cairo on a boycott arts and it's empty. on the new syria the intense government land and sea assault on the coastal town of the tank here is thought to have claimed another twenty lines that's the latest on the violent crackdown on protesters there seen over one thousand seven hundred people killed since march they've all precious now . kicked down the stop the bloodshed assad made some promises weeks ago but his journalist neil clark told r.t. the outright but this. is fueling the fire. two days ago president assad said he was going to allow multi-party system in syria but i think the
2:06 am
opposition have been emboldened by the support they've getting from foreign countries such as the usa france etc and i think that's what's really creating this very dangerous situation where we could be heading into civil war i mean we don't know too much about you know his you know we're all seeing things in the west through a very sort of view because you know look the opposition of betrayed is why it's why they're absolutely fantastic democrats of course i'm sure the lot of people in the opposition who 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 power but we're going to let in syria it isn't very helpful at all and if there is a. new regime falls we could be into iraq situation where we have sick tarion violence developing we could have attacks on the christian community she inverses sunni and the real fear is that syria could just blow up or we could have a terrible terrible civil war we've got to prevent that happening in the only way we can prevent that from happening because if there is internal dialogue in syria.

one of colonel gadhafi sons that the west had led to take place in libya the bloodshed could have been stopped well here's some of what you hear from science going to happen later this hour. we got messages from. many countries and you heard many news from iran north korea. this is your mistake live yours you give up your weapons of mass destruction you'll stop developing along great you start you'll be here and go to friendly with the worst and this that is old soul with me it means this is a message to everybody that you have you're strong you never trust them. and you have to be or was an alert. distraught of the economics ratings agencies growing with their activities being investigated both in the u.s. and europe in a dramatic reversal of fortune the shares of standard and poor's parent fell
2:08 am
sharply over the past week wanna bet is keep pouring money into u.s. treasury bonds or a lister investigates whether the credit rating is actually credible. breaking news the united states has just lost its top notch triple a credit rating from it was the downgrade heard round the world in a strong reaction to the rating downgrade and u.s. well it's. 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 reigning it in a two party downgrading a lot of it has to do with the failure of the present united 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. a stoic 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
2:09 am
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 debt aaa so i mean how do we take them with any level of credibility after that. well let's see if

2:11 am
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 wouldn't surprise me if they were trying to curry favor with 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 berman where 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. versus prime minister david cameron's reiterated zero tolerance approach to keep
