a very warm welcome to you this is our live from moscow egypt's former leader hosni mubarak is back in court as his trial resumes but those who were on tahrir square back in february say this changes little as the current military rulers are committing the same crimes but excusing it with revolutionary rhetoric. 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 tucker square last winter today his portrait adorn one of cairo central thoroughfares there's even a talk of naming a street in his name what makes someone and more fair and. well in the age of right now if the date of death those gunned down prior to mubarak's resignation

celebrated its patriots who lives with the brighter future of their country those killed after his ousting sometimes referred to as criminals to undermine their country's democratic strides it doesn't matter that they share the same goals and they'd have these days justice is about power and knowing the other way around this young man also a counter person south among the children of the revolution if his older brother he celebrated mubarak's departure from power or to taking you to the and to the police three months later he was going to have his brother believes was a government sanctioned shoot out and is going. to shoot my brother dead went through his fault it and it came out on the other side that i saw a little too soon for no one here has a weapon like this. found ways to whose deaths are now being. 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 just became an own compassing term for those who don't appreciate the ruling military. and as. we expected the army to intervene to protect people just don't minds but instead they started to kill people. who didn't expect them to put it with the supreme council of the armed forces. as an interim caretaker when mubarak stepped down. brought to power by the protests that 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 and he's a 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 most is the president of war so that's really president
3:04 am
mubarak's regime individually of course there are thousands of cases that have been put have 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 current his forehead still hasn't healed but these activists believes he got off lightly from seasoned counter in the middle east a month ago holmes from a son of a former presidential spender who was jailed by the mubarak's regime nor says the new authorities are just a brute like the version of they all are and it's extremely clear that there is very little difference between the people who are ruling us now hosting boat and that many of the crimes 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 pressing.
3:05 am
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 three zero 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 a government land and sea assault on the coastal town of attack is thought to have claimed another twenty lives it's the latest outburst of violence in the brutal crackdown on protesters that has 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 but as janice
3:06 am
part told r.t. the our private weston's mission is not in the violence. two days ago president assad said he was going to allow multi-party system in syria but i think the opposition have been emboldened by the support they 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. as you know we're also seeing things in the west through a very sort of view because you know that you're positional betrayed is why it's why they're absolutely fantastic democrats of course i'm sure the awful of people in your position 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 but the opposition must take power but we're going to let in syria is a very helpful tool 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
3:07 am
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 what happened we only way we can prevent nothing happening is if there's internal dialogue in syria. where the start of the economics ratings agencies is growing with their activities being investigated both in the u.s. and europe in a dramatic reversal of fortune the shares in standard and poor's parent fam fell sharply over the past week on investors keep pouring money into u.s. treasury bonds aunties or nestor investigates whether the credit waiters are 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 reining it
3:08 am
in a two party downgrade a lot of it has to do with the fate 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 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 rating agencies have been wrong about nearly everything for the past ten or
3:09 am
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 many of the big bankruptcies that defined vestment. ratings to lehman to bear stearns right to the very end they gave a aaa rating to almost the day the last 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
3:10 am
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 think a big berkshire 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 and up looking like saw it wouldn't surprise me if they were trying to curry favor with politicians in fact they 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 burma or the government ran up that debt in part because
3:11 am
they 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 persons prime minister david cameron has reiterated the zero tolerance approach to keep. a courts have been working through the night to do with almost one hundred people for taking part in britain's worst on rest in decades to visit john ray says it won't be long before more disorder around his arrest alone console the depot fundamental courses. this isn't something that can simply be. streets with water cannon and plastic bullets it isn't something that can be and it isn't something that will be going posing draconian prison sentences we've seen 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 than any point for the last two hundred years it's not easy as you go back to the days of the slave trade to find such a disparity between the rich and the poor who want 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 or so low or because there are no jobs at all or because of endemic poverty this is the combustible material that's been building up at the bottom of british society for a generation ago only 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
