here is truly a tortuously. socialist good to see don't need to go and. read this and the colonel was there to retreat. the former egyptian president answers the charges of corruption and ordering killings in a cairo court but many who acted to depose him is a little has changed since he left. investors a world wide rally to buy u.s. government bonds in defiance of a debt marked down the left markets in shambles raising questions over the trustworthiness of credit rating agencies. and neo nazis striking ukrainian football matches unleashing brutal violence in stadiums leading to fears that hooligans could ruin the european championships we held there next year.
8:01 am
four o'clock on monday afternoon here in moscow if this is r.t. with me roll received show a judge in egypt has ordered deposed president hosni mubarak and his ex interior minister to return to court together on the fifth. monday was the second hearing me mubarak and his sons but it didn't last long as his lawyer asked for more time to review evidence mubarak wheeled into court on his back and as i hope he's on trial for corruption and ordering the killing of protesters in february is uprising but those who are into rear square back then say the coming of military rulers are committing the same crime but excusing it with revolutionary rhetoric on a boycott of reports from cairo. so young to vote yet old enough to die for his country this boy was just seventeen when egyptian police killed him on the tuckers where last winter they were trees are born one of cairo central
8:02 am
thoroughfares there's even a talk of naming a street in his name what makes someone and more fear and another well in egypt right now it's the date of those gunned down prior to mubarak's resignation celebrated its patron who gave. the brighter future of their country those killed after his ousting sometimes are precarious criminals who start to undermine their country's democratic strides it doesn't matter that they share the same goals and each of these days justice is about power and no of the other way around this young man also account of himself among the children of the gravel listen if his older brother he celebrated mubarak's departure from power or to fear taking need for the and to the police three months later he was killed and what his brother believes was a government sanctioned shoot out and is going on and on the snipers should my brother did. it and it came down to the right i saw that no one here has
8:03 am
a weapon like this. a lot of families the victims whose deaths are now being pinned to mubarak these people receive no want to tear it compensation for their laws in fact they're increasingly worried that the new military authorities may persecute them starts this became an open compassing term for those who don't appreciate the ruling military there and as the saga we expected the army to intervene to protect people just don't whine and instead they started to keep people. who didn't expect . that if. this supreme council of the armed forces as an interim caretaker when mubarak stepped down. brought to power by the protest it generals nevertheless don't show much liking for mass gatherings the cradle of the different revolution is now cordoned off by riot police those caught protesting a piece of public disturbance events in military trials in the last seven months
8:04 am
there have been more people put on military trials than the number of people that were put on a movie it was under president of the most is the president of course a literary president mubarak's regime individual 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 that's currently or had still hasn't healed but this activist believes in god lightly seasoned counter of the police a month ago from coaching the son of a former presidential contender was jailed by the more guards regime nor says the new authorities are just a group like the version of the all and it's extremely few that there is very little difference between the people who are ruling us now. in that many of the
8:05 am
crimes the whole thing we're committed to speak are currently being committed. to us now by the people who are ruling with the disguise of the revolution it is these bloody tea sure it is a reminder that the egyptian revolution is far from over the former president is now on trial for his role in the nazi killings the broad still being on the streets of cairo it's not a boycott artsy it's it. order for more analysis now on the situation in egypt we're joined by the country's former deputy foreign minister abdullah he was alive for us in cairo thank you for joining us today we seem to be a sense of dismay among the public over the lack of change or since moved out mubarak was ousted what's your view on the current political situation in the country reporting now that more people than ever are in prison was the change worth it. yeah i think the situation now is that the people are
8:06 am
waiting to see what the future for mubarak and the trial started in fact in a different approach. prachi with chad been adopted by the court was leading potentially to the acquittal of mubarak but now i think that information is totally different and the court is tended to rival barak for many things especially by high treason and a lot of have committed many crimes. the most of serious one is that he had been the head of the state with absolute powers and the constitution and he violated all the provisions and he in fact was playing down with the with the constitution and he in fact wanted to change the regime republican in him to be a. dinosaur regime. among various crimes forgive me for interrupting various crimes
8:07 am
high treason and constitutional manipulation but many outside the court judge chanting for mubarak are calling the trial a humiliation and biased would you agree with them. no i think people are in fact deceived. and the fact that afflict. i think you do visit from people normally some people had been. in the water regime or had been hired by mubarak and his people and i think. the law you should know should be applied respectable fairly serious a good move on. committed all the crimes are guilty. and people don't feel that he had been well in fact affected by. this case i think this is a signal democracy that we live the people we leave the people to support themselves
8:08 am
even against the general truth of illusion ok so you see a sense of democracy said but there but there is a massive pressure from those who asked that mubarak and other countries who supported the revolution tell us this does he have any chance of a truly fair trial. what does it mean. that a tired meals he has to be so the court with all the defenses all the government use of justice one of them. but i think that. now is absolute it is caused by the media and they think we have decided to stop there because for ratings they give people and. it's enough for them to the media and to the cause and see what is taking place and that's good because it's more to the public the newspapers and the
8:09 am
media i think that that should be. considered here for the victims and they give should a nation hear from mubarak himself and other. people and i think we have that going to you we want to get on with there is a try to the give a lot. we don't have somebody to trial for them even if we have all evils against them and lotty that they're going to give sions now as well or the poster leader will be back in court on the fifth of september some will have to see how this continue to add i'll shout for my deputy minister of foreign affairs live in cairo thank you. well in syria the intense government land and sea assault on the coastal town of attacker is thought to have claimed another twenty lives it's the latest outburst of violence in the brutal crackdown on protestors that has seen
8:10 am
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 his journalist neil clark told us the outright western support for the opposition is helping to fuel the violence. two days ago present and sad said it was going well now multi-party system in syria but i think the opposition been emboldened by the support they are 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 as you can hear we're all this week we're seeing things in the west who are very sort of close to you because you know the look of his initial push phrase whites and white they're absolutely fantastic democrats of course i'm sure there are people whose you know 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. in syria is not very
8:11 am
helpful at all 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 cio versus sunni and the real fear is that syria could just blow up but we have a terrible terrible civil war we've got to prevent that happening the only way we can benefit from happening is if there's internal dialogue in syria. you are with us you live from moscow still to come for you in the program universal diversion peace activists in israel fear a new conflict with lebanon on saying the government wants to divert attention from its own blunder. and why zero tolerance kind of habit is zero if we've got expert opinion on what the u.k. government is doing wrong and containing an arrest and. the decision to cut america's debt rating sparked chaos on the world markets with panic leading to the trillions worth of sell offs but the move that led to a drop in the shares of standard and poor's itself one of best of luck to buy
8:12 am
freshly downgraded u.s. treasury bonds i was leaving many to ask what grade the rating agencies deserve themselves as artists long list of reports. breaking news the united states has just lost its top notch triple a credit rating from it with a downgrade heard around the world in a strong reaction to the rating downgrades on the house only of us well it's that 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 a two party downgrade a lot of it has to do with the failure of the present united states i think this is a tea party from the greater in chief says the u.s. is recovery a bit more. still with response from the downgrade or that helped ratchet up the the yeah tricks of the debt ceiling debate with the help of the other ratings agencies of course
8:13 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 we're 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
8:14 am
they get any from tess to the too big to fail banks and insurers during the financial crisis. big bankruptcies they gave our investment. ratings to women to bear stearns right to the very end he gave a aaa rating to two almost a day away as 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 to be right now you have the companies that are are being judged and paying the bill and 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
8:15 am
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 so it wouldn't surprise me if they were trying to curry favor with certain politicians in fact they spent a combined total of one point seven six million dollars this year logging washington over the regulations which brings us full circle to the downgrade of u.s. credit the u.s. was downgraded by athan p.d. because of government debt or the government ran up that that in part because they bailed out the big banks and a i.g. back in two thousand and eight 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 and which makes you wonder if the ratings agencies themselves deserve a downgrade lauren lyster r.t. washington d.c. so at a quarter past the hour here in moscow british prime minister david cameron is committing
8:16 am
a zero tolerance approach to keeping the ins rioters of the country's worst on rest and resulted in over two thousand to rest son almost eight hundred charges but political activist john rhesus says it won't be long before more disorder as arrests alone can solve the fundamental courses. this isn't something that can simply be. streets with water. well it isn't something that can be and it isn't something that will be caught riddled by imposing recoding in prison sentences we've seen one. for you jailed for six months of stealing one pound because the bottle of water in the united kingdom that it was there is greater inequality then any point for the last two hundred years that is an example back in the days of the slave trade to find such a disparity between the rich and of course you want to expect if you show people repeatedly the most expensive consumer goods tell them that they're sell or they
8:17 am
lie 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 or so low or because there are no jobs at all because of endemic politics this is the combustible material that's been building up of what will british society for a generation ago and really the surprise is not that the riots happened before these are some of the issues that have to be addressed and simply doing the police more powers even the police have recognized. their would solve the problem. well from violence on the streets to violence in the home but miss our report on the epidemic of the mystic abuse in the united states which delves into the psyche of both victims and their accusers that's next hour right here on r.t. . you can hear dr swan this policeman swines minister's wife i
8:18 am
just prayed that if you didn't find me if i could slip 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 their domestic violence includes verbal abuse psychological piece 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 that not only. kill you or me in jail but he's got it killing. you with r.t. now a recent match. will be remembered not only for girls but also for the brutal nazi and for the violence which flared up at the stadium this latest incident outside of the fears that racists and hooligans may spoil the european football championship
8:19 am
that ukraine co-hosts next year. in kiev neo nazis and has deep roots in the country's football fan culture. the beautiful game turned ugly in the second half of genomics the first is quite a party with several dozen fans brutally attacked his two words he was trying to take down banners supporting world war two insurgent army leaders. and the monster sit each and day says he was simply trying to force the law. and cd burners and fans to remove them this violation of the norm that no political agitation can be used for pull games they refused and i tried to take them down myself the next thing i remember is someone hitting me on the head and dozens of feet kicking me on the ground. which is status has long been the main talking points 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 1940's they fought alongside the

german invaders killing civilians russians poles and jews without mercy more than sixty years later and they was nearly killed as well but he's not story about his actions. there and. criminals is no place for a nazi as these banners are being hung by the same people who attack red army veterans and made a nice fish year ukrainian for goes no stranger to often trials and nazi slogans the same football fans who cost with the police are often seen in the nationalist marches at times carrying symbols for bitten by football organizations in europe some experts blame the trend on the ideology of the previous administration the vertical. ultra nationalism has been radicalized in ukraine that's because for five years it's been strongly supported by the ruling elite no ultra right and near nazi movements are infiltrating football supporters and nobody does anything about it
8:21 am
either the authorities know the football clubs i do know marquis of clubs says it carries no direct responsibility for the incident with andre was not for been to chant slogans like glory to ukraine glory to heroes to enemies these laws you make friends in ukraine they will do everything to avoid incidents like this one those people are provocateurs and will oust them from football grounds it's an excuse not would not stand up next year when ukraine and poland co-host the european football championship with the eyes of europe focused on clear betters commemorating the likes of which still a feature in twenty twelve could seriously harm the country's reputation for instance poland has no second opinion about the. calling them nazi war criminals with less than a year remaining until key of course the final game of the euro twenty two world championships is brand new stadium looks set to be completed on schedule the question is whether the authorities would be able to use their remaining time to
8:22 am

8:23 am
a lot of tension from the previous war. five years on instance the last israel lebanon wall and israelis are convinced his bill now is we arming itself that i syria and iran we. unfortunately because you were in the situation too are much. the goal of which is why by this bollards the desire man bit to out one last. enemy of 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. defense of war they want to defend themselves while blaming the war from the beginning but if war is on the cards now is as good
8:24 am
a time as any syrian president bashar assad is struggling to stay in power and hizbollah in lebanon koncz be sure of his support for 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 thought there might trigger israel to go and try to take as well i wanted so weak at this point. and as fate would have it it's not only his going up it's weak these really prime minister benjamin netanyahu is facing the toughest challenge of his two and a half year premiership a social protest samantha netanyahu to make a drastic change which is why some suggest it is nothing like a war to quieten these young protesters it's certainly the patient these people. are the same people who go to the army to fight a war and such a war would also potentially distract the united nations and international community from wiki a palestinian state which is on the cards will prove on next month the policy. must
8:25 am
be peaceful and must and. lamarck eyes this event. will shoot on them. and there will be people who. should back. this is really what everyone is preparing for and among the occasional border skirmishes and aerial incursions it's really just mention of time until the next conflict policy r t. or if you are up to date on the latest news here at r.t. however don't go into a marina is not here with the latest from the world of business. hello and welcome to business here on our t.v. now the russian shareholders in sync a b p are taking their british counterparts back to the start on arbitration tribunal they want a final ruling on whether b.p.
