depose president hosni mubarak and his ex interior minister to return to court together on the fifth of september monday was the second hearing for hosni 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 sick bed he's on trial for corruption and ordering the killing of protesters in february is uprising but those who want to rear square back then say the country's the military rulers are committing the same crime but excusing it with revolutionary rhetoric on a boycott of reports from cairo. so young to bold yet old enough to die for his country this boy was just seventeen when a different police killed 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 terror 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 gave our lives for the brighter future of their country those killed after his ousting sometimes are free to ask criminals to stop to undermine their country's democratic stripes and it doesn't matter that they share the same goals and they'd have these days just this is about power and no of 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 take the need for the and to deploy. three months later he was killed in what his brother believes was a government sanctioned shoot them in islam and on the sniper showed my brother dead and a bullet went through his fool hit and it came out on the other side and i saw it was 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

laws in fact they're increasingly worried that the new military authorities may persecute them a struggle is became an own compassing term for those who don't appreciate the ruling military clique and i guess we expected the army to intervene to protect people who just don't mind and spirit 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 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 in sandton 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 most is 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 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 a 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 now and his limbo 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 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 broad is still being held on the streets of cairo it's not a boycott arts it's. for more analysis now on the situation in egypt we're joined by the country's former deputy foreign minister of the shell he was alive for us in cairo thank you for joining us today we this seems 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 we reporting now that more people than ever are in prison was the change worth it. yeah i think the situation that people are waiting to see future for the movie and the trial started in fact in a different approach. had been adopted by the court was leading

potentially to the acquittal. but now i think that in. totally different the court tended to drive about a quarter million things especially by high treason committed many crimes. most of the serious one if that he had been the head of the save with absolute power and the constitution and the very elated all the provisions and he in fact was playing down with the with the constitution and he in fact wanted to change that even republicans even. dana said was you know you various crimes forgive me for interrupting various crimes high treason constitutional manipulation but many outside the court should chanting for mubarak are calling the trial a humiliation and biased would you agree with them. no i think

these people are in fact deceived. and the fact that the general attitude of egyptian people normally some people had builded official is often what a clergyman or he had been hired by mubarak and so and his people and i think that the low low should be applied respective of the feeling of greatness or wisdom of our life in hell mubarak had committed all the cry was a real position people and people. feel that we had real effect affected by movado. in this case i think this is a signal of democracy that we live the people we leave the people put to bed themselves even i guess the general attitude of egyptian people ok so you see a sense of democracy here but there but there is a massive pressure from those who ousted mubarak and other countries who supported the revolution tell us this does he have any chance of

a truly fair trial. does it mean. that it i mean he has to be the court with all the defenses all the government use of justice one of them is to be public but i think that. now is absolute it is broadcast by the media and i think we have decided to stop that because everything they give people and. it's enough for them to let the media get down and for the cause and to see what is taking place and just give the credit. to the public various papers and their media i think that that should be fear into a sense is fear for the victims and they give the nation. and fear from mubarak

himself and the other. he was people and they think we have there because we want to get on the arms or their product is being to try according to the actual law not we don't have somebody to trial for them even if we have all evils again the same and lotty that they're going to give sions now as well as the deposed leader will be back in court on the fifth of september some will have to see how this continues abdullah shall the former 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 latakia is thought to have claimed another twenty 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 kickstart 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 president and sajid 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 treating this very dangerous situation where we could be heading into civil war and we don't know too much about you know his you know we're all seeing things in the west through a very sort of view because you know that your position on trade is white and white they're absolutely fantastic democrats of course i'm sure there are a lot of people in your position who 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 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 seen terri and violence developing we could have attacks on the christian community she and versus sunni and that the real fear is that syria could just blow up that 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. you are with are you live from moscow are still to come for you in the program universal diversion peace activists in israel fear and you conflict with eleven on it saying the government wants to divert attention from its own blunder. and why zero tolerance can have zero effect we've got expert opinion on what the u.k. government is doing wrong and containing unaddressed. the decision to cut america's debt rating spot chaos on the world markets with panic leading to trillions worth of sell offs but the move that led to a drop in the shares of standard and poor's itself on investors flock to buy freshly downgraded u.s. treasury bonds was leaving many to ask what grade that the rating agencies deserve themselves as authors long list of reports. 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 called 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 the tea party downgrade in a lot of it has to do with the failure of the president a stage 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 the condor proposed to some of the other governments that were still with 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 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 they get any from tess to the too big to fail banks and insurers during the financial crisis they missed many of the big bankruptcies they gave high investment good ratings to lehman to bear stearns right to the very end gee they gave

a aaa rating to to almost the day of 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 judged paying the bill and i'm around in a big old berkshire the mr buffett also pointed out the market requires it because these ratings agencies have 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 end up looking like saw it wouldn't 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. and p. because of government debt burden member the government ran up that debt in part because 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 hour which makes you wonder if the ratings agencies themselves deserve a downgrade lauren lester r.t. washington d.c. all right a quarter past the hour here in moscow british prime minister david cameron is promising a zero tolerance approach to keep england's rioters abate the country's worst on rest in decades resulted in over two thousand the rest sound almost eight hundred charges but political activist john research says it won't be long before more

disorder erupts as arrests alone can't solve the deeper fundamental causes. this isn't something that can simply be. streets with water 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 one pound the bottle of water in the united kingdom that was there is greater inequality any point for the last two hundred years he's going to have to go back to the days of the slave trade to find such a just for the between the rich and the poor who want you expect if you show people repeatedly the most expensive consumer goods tell them. sell or through 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 me there because the

wage is also 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 only really the surprise is not that the riots happened but before these are some of the issues that have to be addressed and simply going with police more powers as even the police are recognised to be. what would solve the problem. well from violence on the streets to violence in the home but most of our report on the epidemic of domestic abuse in the united states which delves into the psyche of both victims and their abusers that's next hour right here on out. if you can hear dr squires policeman swines ministers why i just pray. 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 that mostly either i'm going to kill him or me in jail or he's got it kelly. says. you with r.t. now a recent match. will be remembered not only for goals but also for the brutal nazi influenced violence which flared up at the stadium this latest incident has added to fears that racists and hooligans may spoil the european football championship 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 do not like you first off several dozen fans brutally attacked you word he was trying to take down banners supporting world war two insurgent army leaders. and the months. until he says he was simply trying to enforce the law yet. i saw the banners and the fans to remove them this violated the norm that no political agitation can be used at football 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. status has long been the main talking points in ukraine some here see them as freedom fighters and heroes others 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 was nearly killed as well but he's not sorry about his actions. and criminals

is no place for. these banners are being hung by the same people who attacked veterans and. ukrainian football is no stranger to off pitch violence and 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. ultra nationalism has been radicalized in ukraine because for five years it's been strongly supported by the ruling elite no ultra rights movements are infiltrating football supporters and nobody does anything about either the authorities know the football clubs the dyno marquis of clubs as it carries no direct responsibility for the incident with andre. to chant slogans like glory to ukraine to

heroes death to enemies these laws unite fans in ukraine but everything to avoid incidents like this one those people are provocateurs and them from football grounds 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 on key of bettors commemorating the likes of which if still a feature in twenty twelve could seriously harm the country's reputation for instance poland has no second opinion about. calling them nazi war criminals with less than a year remaining until kiev hosts the final game of the euro twenty twelve championship its 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 get rid of color going ism and racism not tolerated in europe if not experts say then give could face serious sanctions from the european football governing bodies. r.t.

reporting from kiev in ukraine. it's not just in the sports stadiums either neo nazis often come out on the streets in ukraine as you can see for yourself but r.t. dot com has a free video section have a look at this right now this is actually from this year's victory day commemorations in the western city of laval hundreds of far right youths chanting praise for nazi collaborators and assaulting world war two veterans the footage online for you right now free video party dot com. peace activists in tel aviv believe a new israeli lebanon war is now inevitable they say now is the perfect time for a new conflict to shift international attention from social protests within israel as well as the possibility of a new palestinian state could be recognized and as artie's reports there's still a lot of tension from the previous war. five years on instance the last israel lebanon will and the israelis are convinced his below is we arming itself backed by

syria and when we. unfortunately. in the situation to a much. the goal of which to wipe out hezbollah to disarm and to add one last. enemy of the border but say the critics thinking the war is inevitable is simple israeli propaganda churned out for their own purposes various likely war every five years very slowly they like to just avoid 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 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 thought there might trigger israel to go and try to take as well when it's a week at some point. and as fate would have it it's not only his but now that's weak these were any prime minister benjamin netanyahu is facing me toughest challenge of his two and a half year premiership these social protest i'm on for netanyahu to make 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 who are conducting the process. 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 which a palestinian state which is on the cards for approval next month policy. must be peaceful and must then went to. the lama ties this event. will shoot 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. it's really just a matter of time until the next conflict. all right you're up to date on the latest news here at r.t. however don't go anywhere 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 tank a b.p. are taking their british counterparts back to the stockholm arbitration tribunal 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 ross after the russian shareholders say they are not seeking compensation through the swedish courts instead they have launched lawsuits in

russia and have initially claimed that images of three billion dollars the world's financial markets are heading for the third straight session of gains and that's after the most volatile week since september two thousand and eight but the spine of the current positive movement david jones from the expert leaves 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 to 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 lower again i think we have seen quite a big change in sentiment towards stock markets over the last few weeks you know investors are very worried about the situation because we have the u.s. that when time to then why are you getting that feeling where i used we had to buy the u.s. we've still got all these problems in continental europe with it's really inspiring so growth isn't very good there's nothing the risk of
