five pm on a monday here in moscow with research showing a judge in egypt has ordered deposed 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 wheeled into court on his sick bed is on trial for corruption and ordering the killing of protesters in february's uprising there have been clashes meantime between pro and anti mubarak supporters outside the hearing those who still support the former president saying the trial is a way to humiliate him but it's also use ochs on a boy found out even though his own to rear square during the uprising so the current military rule is a committing the same crime. 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 toughness where last winter today he's

portrayed adorns one of clara central thoroughfares there's even a talk of naming a street in his name what makes someone and more appear and not. well in the age of right now if the date of death was gunned down prior to mubarak's resignation f.l. liberated us troops who gave what the rider future of their country those killed after his ousting sometimes are free to ask criminals to undermine their country's democratic stripes and it doesn't matter that they share the same goals and they'd have these days justice is about power and knowing the other way around this young man also accounted for himself among the children of the revolution if this older brother he celebrated mubarak's departure from power or to fear taking it for the and to the police they three months later he was killed and what his brother believes was a government sanctioned shoot out. the man is an army sniper shot my brother dead

the bullet went through his forehead and it came out on the side and i saw it no one here has a weapon like this only soldiers do like families 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 as thugs is became an all encompassing term for those who don't appreciate the ruling military click and as. we expected the army to intervene to protect people just don't mind and spirit but instead they started to kill people themselves who didn't expect. that 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 protesting the use

of public disturbance 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 a movie it was 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 child 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 believe he got off lightly from these encounters 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 now hosting the world and that many of the crimes the hosting world are committed to his people are currently being committed. to us by the people who are with the disguise of the revolution it is 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 work of art it's an. art and turning our attention to syria now be intense government land and sea assault on the coastal town of a is a thought now to have claimed another twenty lives is the latest outburst of violence in the 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 assad did 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 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 treating this very dangerous situation where we could be heading into civil war we don't know too much about you because you know we're also seeing things in the west who are very sort of close to you because you know that you're position to trade is why it's why 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 with the opposition must take power but we get to that 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 in violence developing we could have attacks on the christian community she inverses

sunni and 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 without a life from moscow and still to come in the program of universal diversion peace activists in israel fear a new conflict with levanon saying the government wants to divert attention from its own. and why zero tolerance can have zero effect we've got expert opinion on what the u.k. government is doing wrong in containing unrest. 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 led to a drop in the shares of standard and poor's itself while the investors flock to buy freshly downgraded u.s. treasury bonds it's left many to ask what the what grade the rating agencies deserve themselves and lower enlisted reports. 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 gold and u.s. 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 two party downgrading 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 conduct proposed to some of the other governments that were 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. 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 of 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. 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 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 our investment

grade. to lehman to bear stearns right to the very end g. they gave a aaa rating to tow 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 are being judge of paying the bill and i'm around a big bill 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

care a 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 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 lester r. t. washington d.c. . you were going to see a lot from moscow and all of our news stories and features are available for you twenty four seven on our website politics dot com here's a quick look at some of the items available for you there right now and stories over the past called british spies.

hundred people. all right now twelve minutes past the hour. british prime minister david cameron is promising a zero tolerance approach to keeping. other countries. resulted in two thousand arrests almost eight hundred charges but the political activist says it won't be long before more. fundamental.

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 going posing draconian prison sentences we've seen one. for you 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 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 of course we want to expect if you show people repeatedly the most expensive consumer goods tell them that they're sell or three 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 wages 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 that oh 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 even the police have recognized to be there what would solve the problem. well from the violence on the streets to violence in the home then miss our report on the epidemic of domestic abuse in the u.s. which delves into the psyche of both victims and their abusers that's in about fifteen minutes time right here. it can hear dr swan's policeman swines ministers why i just prayed. 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 psychologically piece physical abuse and sexual abuse at least four million women are affected by abuse every year those are two options that i saw that mostly. kill him in jail or he's going to kill. you with r.t. a recent match will be remembered not only for the girls but also for the brutal nazi influenced violence which flared up at the stadium this latest incident has added to fears that racists under hooligans might spoil the european football championship that ukraine hosts next year and as i. found out in kenya neo nazis and has deep roots in the country's football fan culture. the beautiful game turned ugly in the second half of genomics you first to leave off several dozen fans

brutally attacked as steward he was trying to take down banners supporting world war two insurgent army leaders. and the man c.c.h. until he says he was simply trying to ease force the law yeah. i saw the banners and the fans to remove them this violated the no 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 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 was nearly killed as well but he's not sorry about his actions. and criminals

is no place for naziism these banners are being hung by the same people who attacked veterans in the night fish year ukrainian football is no stranger to often 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 dinar maccie of clubs as it carries no direct responsibility for the incident with andre. chance logans like to ukraine to heroes death to enemies these laws unite fans in ukraine but

will do everything to avoid incidents like this one those people are provocateurs 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. nazi war criminals with less than a year remaining until the final game of the year. to be completed. the question is whether the authorities would be able to use their remaining time to get. from the european governing bodies. reporting from kiev in ukraine.

it's not just in the sports stadiums either. you can see for yourself. video. right here these pictures from this year's. hundreds of. video. peace activists believe that a new israeli 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 a new palestinian state could be recognized as a report. from the previous war. five years on since the last israel lebanon wall and israelis are convinced his below is we arming itself backed by syria and iran we can anticipate

unfortunately. in the situation to a much bigger. war. the goal of which to wipe out hezbollah to disarm and to add one last. 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 you or i would have five years very slowly very large to just avoid a defensive war they want to be first 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 but then my trigger is are all 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 israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is facing me toughest challenge of his two and a half year premiership these social protest demand 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 great temptation of these people who are conducting the process. 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. disarm our ties this event is the only 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 till the next full scale conflict police t.r.t. television. and in just a few moments here with the business news but for now let's go to some other world news headlines in our world update a wave of deadly explosions have caused carnage across iraq two twin bomb attacks in the city of could claimed the lives of thirty five and wounded dozens later seven blasts followed them in the province of diyala leaving at least ten dead i know want took responsibility for the flurry of violence that has had up to nine iraqi cities. fighting in libya continues as rebels try to force governmental troops out of a strategic city fifty kilometers from the capital tripoli the opposition using a pickup trucks with machine guns and anti-aircraft weapons mountain on them are
