just after three pm on monday here in moscow this is with me. egypt's foreign a former leader of the hosni mubarak and his two sons back in court this monday the court has just returned from a short recess requested by the defense so we could review new documents that they had asked for. he's on trial for corruption and ordering the killing of protesters in february uprising but those who are notorious square back in february say this changes little as the current military rulers are committing the same crime excusing it with revolutionary rhetoric on a boycott reports from cairo. so young to vote yet old enough to die for his country this war was just seventeen when a different police killed him on the tough areas where last winter today things were true adorns one of cairo central thoroughfares there's even a talk of naming a street in his name what makes someone a more fair and. well in the age of right now if the date of death of those gunned

down prior to mubarak's resignation of celebrating this great truth who lives with a brighter future of their country those killed after his ousting sometimes are free to ask criminals to undermine their country's democratic strife 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 account of himself among the children of the devolution if his older brother he celebrated mubarak's departure from power or to taking the would the and to the police say three months later he was killed in what his brother believes was a government sanctioned i mean his little bed and my brother dead and a bullet went through his fool hit and it came down to the other side and i saw it was no one here has a weapon like this only soldiers do like sound waves to this team's whose deaths are now being pinned on. mark 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 became an own compassing term for those who don't appreciate the ruling military clique and as a suicide body so we expected the army to intervene to protect people just do it winds free but instead they started to kill people themselves who didn't expect. that it with 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 he's just 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 military chose 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 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 a scar on his forehead still hasn't healed but these activists believes he got off lightly from season counter with the police a month ago a son of the former presidential contender who was jailed by the mubarak's regime nor says the new authorities are just a brutalized version of the all and 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 pressing. the public or even if it's manipulating public opinion but suddenly 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 his role in the mass killings but the body is still being built on the streets of cairo it's not a boycott artsy it's empty. our now are turning our attention to syria where the intense government land and sea assault on the coastal town of latakia is a thought of this point to have claimed at least thirty lives it's the latest outburst of violence in the brutal crackdown on protestors 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 did make some promises weeks ago but as journalist neil clark told us the outright western support for the opposition is helping to fuel the fire. two days ago president and sad said he was going to allow multi-party system in syria but i think the opposition 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 these very dangerous situation where we could be heading into civil war i'm going to do too much about you as you know we're also seeing things in the west through a very sort of view because you know the position of betrayed his wife is white 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 the opposition must take power but we get to that in syria is a very helpful tool and if there is a. new regime force we could be into iraq situation where we have sick terry

environ it's developing we could have attacks on the christian community she and versus 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 prevent that from happening is if there's internal dialogue in syria. and a little bit later in the program here and we look at how the developments in syria might impact the situation in the wider middle east some believe that with president assad busy clinging to power israel might venture into a fresh conflict with neighboring lebanon coming your way in just a few minutes. distrust of the economic. ratings agencies is growing with the activities being investigated both in the u.s. and in europe in a dramatic reversal of fortune the shares in standard and poor's parent felt sharply over the past week while investors keep pouring money into u.s. treasury bonds lauren lyster now investigates whether the credit rate is even 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. 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 reining it in a tea party downgrade a lot of it has to do with the failure of the present united states i think this is a tea party for 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. m.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 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 tess to the too big to fail banks and insurers during the financial crisis many of the big bankruptcies they define vestment go. ratings to

lehman to bear stearns right to the very end gee they gave a aaa rating to 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 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 are being judged paying the bill and they could like john browning a big bill of berkshire the 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 don 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 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 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. so i could have you with us today this is our team live from moscow british prime minister david cameron has reiterated the zero tolerance approach to keep england's rotters at bay courts have been working throughout the night to deal with looters

almost eight hundred people now charged with taking part in britain's worst on rest in decades political activist john roos says it won't be long before more disorder erupts arrests alone can solve the deep 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. posing draconian prison sentences we've seen one teenaged boy jailed for six months for stealing a one pound the bottle of water in the united kingdom that was there is greater inequality than at any point for the last two hundred years that he's going to have to go back to the days of the slave trade to find such a disparity between the rich and the poor what you expect if you show people repeatedly the most expensive consumer goods tell them that their sell worth a 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 because of endemic poverty this is the combustible material that's been building up at the bottom of british society for a generation ago and 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 as even the police have recognized to be there would solve the problem. well while britain scrambles to keep a lid on any further street violence we are asking whether you think the zero tolerance approach will work here's how you're voting right now at r.t. dot com bringing up the numbers to your screen now so far just over a third say the policy won't be tolerated by the public thirty one percent think it will be ineffective and a sign of weakness a quarter believe it will work but will split society by the remaining eleven percent this hour say zero tolerance is ok as

a temporary step only until everything else down have you say. brutal violence moderate ukraine's football championship this month with a stadium steward beaten after trying to remove banners featuring the names of nazi collaborators thought the neo nazis and now is deeply rooted in found culture and that it had high level support from the orange revolution leaders from two thousand and four but it. reports it's a headache for the current government with ukraine's user code next year as a euro championship. the beautiful game turned ugly in the second half of you know mike you first off several dozen fans brutally attacked a steward he was trying to take down banners supporting world war two insurgent army leaders. and. andre says he was simply trying to force the law. the fans to have this violent you know political

agitation can be used in the gangs and they refused and i tried to take them down. the next thing i remember someone hitting me on the head and dozens of feet kicking . 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 in killing civilians russians poles and jews without mercy more than sixty years later and they was nearly killed as well but he's not sorry about his actions. and criminals. place for nazi is. being hung people. that are in. the night fish here ukrainian food goes no stranger to off the trial and send nazi slogans the same football fans who crossed with the police are often seen in the marches at

times carrying symbols for britain by football organizations in some experts blame the trend on the ideology of the previous administration. ultranationalist has been radicalized in ukraine because for five years it's been strongly supported by the ruling elite you know ultra rights. are infiltrating football supporters and nobody does anything about either the authority you know the football clubs the do normal key of clubs as it carries no direct responsibility for. to create. these laws you know. everything to avoid incidents like this one. it's an excuse that would not stand up next year when ukraine and poland co-host the european championship

with the eyes of europe. betters commemorating the likes of. twenty twelve could seriously harm the country's reputation for. calling them nazi war criminals with less than a year remaining until the final game of the euro twenty. to be completed. the question is whether the authorities would be able to use their remaining time to get. the european governing bodies. reporting from kiev ukraine. in the sports. from the streets in ukraine as you can see for yourself. this is a victory day. hundreds of. israel

might start a new war. peace activists and protesters in. five years since the last. they believe could be used to shift attention from. trying to topple hezbollah from power. five years on since the last israel. and israelis are convinced his below is we are backed by syria and iran. unfortunately. in the situation to a much bigger. goal of which to

wipe out hezbollah to disarm an. enemy at the border but say the critics thinking a war is inevitable is simple israeli propaganda churned out for their own purposes various like every five years very slowly very large. defense of war they want to defend themselves. 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 hizbollah 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 my trigger to go and try to take a. week at some point. and as fate would have it it's not only has been up it's weak israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is facing me toughest challenge of his two and

a half year. these social protest i'm on for netanyahu to make drastic change which is why some suggest there's nothing like a war to quieten these young protesters certainly the patient. same people go to the army to fight a war and such a war would also potentially distract the united nations and international community from which a palestinian state which is on the cards for approval next month policy and which start then one must be peaceful and must then months later and. dramatize this event and israeli army we're short on them. and there will be people who. should back. and. this is really what everybody is 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. r.t.

tell of of. now if you had. you can hear the iranian president's assessment of the arab world and its. nuclear weapons the weapons of the previous century. libya among many other issues as well. as the state. in the united states. killed at least five people injured dozens.

now at twenty two minutes past the hour here. with the business news but for now colonel qadhafi. take. on state television it's his first public address since the rebels launched around tripoli. the rebels take control of as. they would have surrounded. with nato ships blocking the city by sea. also. describing it as a one. of the few issues the. transport disruption. will

continue through. one bomb blasts have ripped through at least five iraqi citizens are killing up to seventy people most of them in the southeastern city of a twin explosions at a market there left at least forty two dead dozens others wounded seven last also rocked the rest of diyala province killing ten at this point and no one has taken responsibility or admitted to it it's. ok as i said to me to see what the business needs to stay with us. hello and welcome to business and the russian shareholders and taking their british counterparts back to stockholm arbitration drive you know they want a final ruling on whether b.p. broke the shareholder agreement by trying to organize the arctic exploration and share swap deal with rosneft the russian shareholders say they're not seeking compensation through the swedish court instead they have lodged more suits in russia and have initially claimed damages of three billion dollars well the

financial markets are heading for the third straight session of gains that's after the most volatile week since september two thousand and eight but despite the current positive movement 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 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. just move lara galloping we have seen quite a big change in sentiment towards stock markets over the last few weeks vestas are very worried about the situation 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 growth isn't very good there's definitely a risk of

a double dip recession but i think the immediate risk is stock markets to slide a bit further. on this move to the markets and we start with commodities where royle is marginally down on worries on just how sustainable the ongoing rally is light sweet is down half a dollar brant down just a notch precious metals are flat to negative pretty much all monday's session longwall this catching its breath setting a record pretty much all week long last week including eighteen hundred dollars. silver is down a point one percent. european markets are still in the black though the all struggling to actually stay there specially the footsie third day again still shares in recruitment and staffing firm michael page went down at one point sixteen percent after this point of those results. leading the way in frankfurt commerce banking more than two percent. and the russian balls are in the black with energy

and mining stocks among the main gainers now here's a snapshot of the market movers on the my six russian steel may just have a star is gaining one point seven percent after reporting a twenty percent rise in the first half metals mine and also nickel is up two percent the company's board is meeting to consider making another offer to its major show. otoh roussel to buy back its shares and while major role snifters were also up more than two percent the company's revenue rose thirty three percent in the first half of the year reaching more than twenty two billion dollars now for investors who are keen to jump into the russian market at the moment peter weston from at home says the range of interesting stories is quite limited. where you want to be if you have to be russia it's going to be telecom selected consumers and some selected utilities select victims it's difficult because you have the election side to it but i do think when it when it comes to securing our salt you have to very careful financials and russia looks fantastic to be honest but the problem is that

when you actually have market goes down because of the financial crisis you are going to see financials being hit in europe and the us the russian banks that are listed and our previous song will get punished by association. from enjoying the beautiful marina course and most will be here in fifteen minutes time with the business up. if.

it can hit dr swines policeman swines minister's wife i just pray that if you didn't find me if i could just live through the night that i would get my kids out of here because i knew that what was going to happen was that he was going to kill me many victims don't understand that domestic violence includes verbal abuse psychological abuse physical abuse and sexual abuse at least four million women are affected by abuse every year those are my only two options that i saw at that moment either angle. well he's going to kill it.

soon from feinstein. totty. hungry for the full story we've got. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. welcome

back you with the live from the heart of moscow with me the headlines now egypt's foreign leader with tons of court on monday but the judge postponing the. time of the fifth but it will not be televised hosni mubarak faces charges of corruption and ordering the killing of protesters. they're all fears that israel is plotting a new assault to wipe out hezbollah five years off to the last. some believe the move will help to shift attention at home from growing social unrest. from the soon become palestinian bid for u.n. recognition. and ukraine's football matches become an ugly neo nazi breeding ground often turning violent the countries. that are hooligans could ruin it next year.
