same crime. so young to vote yet old enough to die for his country this war was just seventeen one egyptian police killed him on the tuckers where last winter conditions were true adorns one of clara's central thoroughfares there's even talk of naming a street in his name what makes someone and more it's here and in are. all in the age of right now if the date of those gunned down riots mubarak's resignation celebrated its patriots who lives with the writer future of their country those killed after his ousting sometimes are free to ask criminals to stop 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 not be out a way around this young man also account of himself among the children of the revolution if he's older brother he celebrated mubarak's departure from power or to
9:03 am
fear taking youth for the and to the police three months later he was killed and what his brother believes was a government sanctioned shoot out i mean is the problem and on the snipers shoot my brother dad went through it and it came out on the other side and i saw that no one here has a weapon only soldiers do like sound waves to 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 or studds its became an open compassing term for those who don't appreciate the ruling military. and i guess what. we expected the army to intervene to protect people who just took mines and instead they started to kill people themselves we didn't extend them but if the supreme council of the on. as an

interim caretaker but not quiet step down lots of 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 protesting at the use of public disturbance his stance in military trials in the last seven months there have been more people put on military trials than the number of people that were caught a movie it was under president of the nurses the president of the solutrean and president mubarak's regime individually of course there are thousands of cases that have been put. been arrested and put on child and sentenced within the span of two to five these sent one of those sentences starting from three years up to twenty five years that's currently four had still hasn't healed but these activists believes he got off lightly from season counts are going to police
9:05 am
a month ago a son of a former presidential contender who was jailed by the mubarak's regime nourse as the new authorities are just a brutal eight version of the all of it's extremely clear that there is very little difference between the people who are ruling and hosni mubarak and that many of the crimes the hosting world are committed to speak 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 be 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 and avoid artsy it's empty. all right and turning our attention to syria now the intense government land and so your souls on the coastal town of attack is a thought now to have claimed another twenty lives it's the latest outburst of
9:06 am
violence and a brutal crackdown on protesters that have 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 i started to make some promises weeks ago but journalist neil clark told us the western support the opposition is helping to fuel the violence. two days ago president sad said it was going well now 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 this very dangerous situation where we could be heading into civil war i mean really don't know too much about you. this week we've seen things in the west who are very sort of place to you because you know you're position on trade is white and right there are absolutely fantastic democrats of course i'm sure in the opposition 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 believe
9:07 am
that in syria is a very helpful tool and if there is a. regime force we could be into iraq situation where we have seen terri in violence and we could have attacks on the christian community she and versus sunni and the real fear is that syria could just blow up that we 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 an internal dialogue in syria. it without the light from moscow and still to come in the program universal diversion of peace activists in israel fear a new conflict would lead one on the government wants to divert attention from its own mind. and why zero tolerance can have zero effect we've got expert opinion on what the u.k. government is doing wrong and. taining unrest. the decision to cut america's debt rating sparked chaos on the world markets with panic leading to trillions worth of sell offs but the move led to
9:08 am
a drop in the shares of standard and poor's itself or their best as flock to buy freshly downgraded u.s. treasury bonds it's left many to ask what the what grade the rating agencies deserve themselves as are his lauren lyster reports. good 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 downgrade the hospital and u.s. well it's. standard and poor's took the u.s. from straight aaa student to one notch below for the first time ever that marks were handed down for the nation's debt and politicians inability to agree on rein it in a tea party downgrade a lot of it has to do with the failure of the president a stage i think this is a tea party for the greater in chief says the u.s. is recovery a bit more unpredictable and. a stoic response from the downgrade or that helped ratchet up at the yeah tricks of
9:09 am
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
9:10 am
how do we take them with any level of credibility after that. well let's see if they get any from test to the too big to fail banks and insurers during the financial crisis. the big bankruptcy is if our investment grade rating. we meant bear stearns right to the very end they gave a aaa rating to be a classic 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 judge of paying the bill and i'm borrowing 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
9:11 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 carry huge view about what those rules and up looking like sort of you would surprise me if they were trying to curry favor with alterations 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 a impede because of government debt or 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 lyster r. t. washington d.c.

9:13 am
a zero tolerance approach to keep england's rioters at bay the country's worst on rest in decades resulted in over two thousand arrests almost eight hundred charges but a political activist in joint research says it won't be long before more just as arrests alone can solve the fundamental cause. this isn't something that can simply be. streets and water. stiglitz it isn't something that can be and it isn't something that will be got rid of posing in prison sentences we've seen one for you jailed for six months for stealing one pound because the bottle of water in the united kingdom though there is greater inequality any point for the last two hundred year it is that reason as you go back to the base of the slave trade you 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 they're sell or they
9:14 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 you there because the wage is also low or because there are no jobs at all because of endemic politics this is the combustible material that's been building up a bottle of 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 as even the police have recognised. there would solve the problem. well from the violence on the streets to violence in the home and it's our report on the epidemic of domestic abuse in the us which delves into the psyche of both victims and their abusers that's in about fifteen minutes time right here. it can hear doctors winds policeman swines ministers why i just pray that

i do know marquis of clubs says it carries no direct responsibility for the incident with andre green's when he was not forgotten by law to chant slogans like glory to ukraine community heroes death to enemies he's lost fans in ukraine but everything to avoid incidents like this one those people are provocateurs and little else than from from rennes 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 t.v. writers 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 the final game of the euro twenty twelve championship is a brand new stadium looks set to be completed on schedule the question is whether the authorities would be able to use the remaining time to get rid of call the
