live from moscow egypt's former leader hosni mubarak is back in court as he's trying those who all square back in february say this he just little of the car military route is a committing the same crimes but excusing it with revolutionary rhetoric. 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 that toughness where last winter today he's portrayed adorns one of. the fares 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 those gunned down prior to mubarak's resignation f.l. liberated us troops who lives with the rider future of their country those killed after his ousting sometimes are very serious criminals to undermine that country's

democratic stripes and 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 with his older brother he celebrated mubarak's departure from power or to taking need for the and to deploy. three months later he was killed in what his brother believes was a government sanctioned shoot out there and is going. to shoot my brother dead the bullet went through it and it came out to the right and i saw it no one here has a weapon. like sam least of victims whose deaths are now being pinned on mubarak these people receive no monetary compensation for their laws in fact they're increasingly worried that the new military authorities may persecute them as thugs is became an all encompassing term for those who don't appreciate the ruling military. and as most of us are bodies we expected the army to intervene to protect

people just took minds but instead they started to kill people themselves who didn't expect. that if the 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'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 a score of his forehead still hasn't healed but these activists believes 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 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. in syria intense government land and sea assault on the coastal town of that thought to have claimed another twenty lines it's the latest on the violence and the brutal crackdown on protesters that is seen over one thousand seven hundred people killed since march global pressures amounting on the country's president to kick start reforms and stop the bloodshed a sound made some promises weeks ago but as journalist neil clark told r.t. the outright western support for the opposition is fueling the violence. two days ago president sad said that 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 in france and i don't think that's what's really treating this very dangerous situation where we could be heading into civil war and we really don't know too much about you because you know we're all seeing things in the west who are very sort of close to you because you know they looked oppositional betrayed is why it's 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 the statements from the u.s. saying that the government must go with the opposition must take power we're going to let me syria is a very helpful tool and if there is a. new regime falls we could be into iraq situation where we have sick terry of violence developing we could have attacks on the christian community versus sunni and the real fear is that syria could just blow up we could have a terrible terrible civil war we've got to prevent that happening and we only way we can burn out from happening is if there's internal dialogue in syria. or later

in the program we look at how the developments in syria might impact the situation in the wider middle east as somebody that with busy clinging to power israel might venture into a fresh conflict with neighboring lebanon that's in just a few minutes. now to strasse of the economics ratings agency 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 parents. over the past week while investors keep pouring money into u.s. treasury bonds on his own mr investigates whether the credit rate is 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. us 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 reigning it in the tea party downgrade in 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 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. ratings to lehman to bear stearns right to the very end gee they gave a aaa rating to tool almost 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 they could like i'm around in 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 carry huge deal about what those rules and up looking like you would 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 us in p. because of government debt burden member of 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 lester r.t. washington d.c. . versus the prime minister david cameron has reiterated the zero tolerance approach to keep england's riotous. cool's have been working through the night to deal with leaches with almost eight hundred people were taking part in britain's worst on rest in decades of political activists john rhys's it won't be long before more disorder a rabs those arrests alone can't solve the deeper fundamental causes . this isn't something that can simply be. streets with water.

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 to you know before you jailed for six months for stealing a one pound bottle of water in the united kingdom that was there is greater inequality any point to the last two hundred you're going to actually go back to the days of the slave trade to find such a just for 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 or you there 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 owned really the surprise is not that the riots happened but that

before these are some of the issues that have to be addressed and simply doing the police more powers as even the police have recognized. it would solve the problem. while burthen tries to scramble to keep a lid on any further street violence well skiing whether you think the zero tolerance approach will work or here's how bating so far as. you can see that just. saying their policy will be tolerated by the population thirty one percent of you think it will be ineffective and a sign of weakness just also have you believe it will work but will split society while the remaining eleven of the said this hour saying there zero tolerance is ok tell precept that only until everything calms down. now a brutal. violence maggio crane's football championship this month with the stadiums jewett beaten after he tried to remove banners featuring the names of the
