a very warm welcome to you this is live from moscow egypt's former leader hosni mubarak is back in court he's on trial for corruption and ordering the killing of protesters in february. but those who own back in february say this changes little of the current military rule is that committing the same crimes but excusing it with revolutionary rhetoric aussie's examine the boy to reports from cairo. too young to bold yet old enough to die for his country this boy was just seventeen wanted to kill him on the square last winter today he's portrayed adorns one of. 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 the brighter future of their country those killed after his ousting sometimes are pretty serious criminals who stop to undermine their country's democratic stripes and it doesn't matter that they share the same goals and the age of these days justice is about power and knowing the other way around this young man also counted himself among the children of the revolution because 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 on the snipers showed my brother dead the bullet went through his forehead and it came out on the other side and i saw that no one here has a weapon like this only soldiers. like sam least of victims whose deaths are now being pinned on mubarak these people. receive no monetary compensation for their

loss in fact they're increasingly worried that the new military authorities may persecute them studs is became an all encompassing term for those who don't appreciate the ruling military and as with us our 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. it to 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 know. 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 suddenly 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 body is still being spilled on the streets of cairo on a boycott artsy it's empty. syria intense government land sea assault on the coastal town of attack here is thought to have claimed another twenty lines that's the latest surviving the brutal crackdown on protestors that seen over one thousand seven hundred people killed since march global pressure is mounting on the country's president to kick start reforms stop the bloodshed assad made some

promises weeks ago but hours gena still can't hold r.t. outright western support the opposition is feeling the pilot. two days ago president assad said he was going to allow a multi-party system in syria but i think the opposition have been emboldened by the support they've getting from foreign countries such as the usa france and so 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 people who say you know we're all seeing things in the west through a very sort of view because you know the look of positional betrayed is why why they're absolutely fantastic democrats of course i'm sure a lot of people which if you 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 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 seen terry of

violence developing we could have attacks on the christian community shion 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 benefit from happening is if there's an internal dialogue in syria. well in the program we look at how the developments in syria might impact the situation in the wide middle east is something that means that with president assad busy clinging to israel might venture into a rash conflict with neighboring lebanon in just a few minutes. now distrust of the economics ratings agencies is. growing with their activities being investigated both in the u.s. and europe and a dramatic reversal of fortunes the shares in the sound of imports parent fell sharply over the past week while investors keep pouring money into u.s. treasury bonds lowering 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 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 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.n.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 her investment is. ratings to lehman to bear stearns right to the very end gee they gave

a aaa rating to tool almost the collapse 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 rounding a big goal of 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 saw it 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.m.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. . forces prime minister david cameron has reiterated the zero tolerance approach to keep england's russia's. courts have been working through the night to do with looses with eight hundred people challenged for taking part in britain's worst on

rest in decades there is a collapse of his john rhys's it won't be long before more disorder eruptions 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 know before you jailed for six months for stealing a one pound fifty bottle of water in the united kingdom that it was there is greater inequality any point for the last two hundred. days of the slave trade to find such a just currently in 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 for 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 only 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. would solve the problem. and trying to scramble to keep a lid on any further street violence well asking whether you think the zero tolerance approach will work how here's how you're waiting so far at r.t. dot com just over a third of you say the policy is way to be tolerated by the public purse and one third you think it will be ineffective as a sign of this water all of you believe it will work but this is the society of the remaining ten percent of our the zero tolerance is a k.

i think temporary step only until everything calms down will do log on to have your say on this. brutal violence i'm argue crane's football championship this month with a stadium steward beaten after he tried to remove banners featuring the names of the nazi collaborators is still near knowledge as i'm deeply rooted in fan culture and that it had high levels of poured from the orange revolution leaders from two thousand and four those are things that the report is a headache for the current government with ukraine due to co-host next year's euro championship. the beautiful game turned ugly in the second half of genomics first several dozen fans brutally attacked. he was trying to take down banners supporting world war two insurgent army leaders. and each one day he says he was simply trying to enforce the law. to remove them this violated

no political agitation can be used at football games they refuse to try to take them down. the next thing i remember is someone hitting me on the head and dozens of feet kicking me on the ground. status has long been the main talking point in ukraine some here see them as freedom fighters and heroes others that's the majority of the population call them nazi collaborators in the one nine hundred forty s. they fought 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 is not story about his actions. and criminals is no place for. these banners are being hung by the same people who attacked veterans and. fish here 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

marches at times carrying symbols for britain by football organizations in europe some experts blame the trend on the ideology of the previous administration. nationalism has been radicalized in ukraine because for five years it's been strongly supported by the ruling elites no. movements are infiltrating football supporters and nobody does anything either the authorities know the football clubs the dinar maccie of clubs as it carries no direct responsibility for. incident with under the. slogans like to ukraine. death to enemies these laws. everything to avoid incidents like this when people are provocateurs. 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
