a very warm welcome to you this is r.t. live from moscow i'm already seeing shea deposed president hosni mubarak and his former interior minister will face the judgment of an egyptian court side by side a judge has ordered their trials to be merged into one monday's hearing was short as the lawyer for mubarak and his sons asked for time to review the latest evidence they will return on september the fifth 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 here and those who still support the former president saying the trial is a way to humiliate him but it's also he's also on a boy here found out even those on to rich square during the uprising say the current military rulers are committing the same crimes. so young to vote

yet old enough to die for his country this war was just seventeen wanted to kill him on that toughness where last winter today he's portrayed adorns one of the central thoroughfares there's even talk of naming a street in his name what makes someone and more fair and in our they're all in egypt right now if the data there was gunned down prior to mubarak's resignation celebrated its patriots who gave the bell live with the rider future of their country those killed i think is our thing sometimes are precarious criminals to undermine a country's democratic strife it doesn't matter that they share the same goals and each of these days justice is about power and not be other way around this young man also khalid from south among the children of the revolution because older brother he celebrated more guards departure from power on to we're taking needs for the and to the police they three months later he was killed and what his brother

believes was a government sanctioned shoot out government is going to bubble and should my brother dad the bullet went through his forehead and it came out and. i saw it no one here has a weapon like this only solution. like families of victims whose that's a now being pinned from the park these people receive no monetary compensation for their laws in fact they're increasingly worried that the new military authorities may persecute them starts it's became an all encompassing term for those who don't appreciate the ruling military. and i guess we expected to intervene to protect people just don't minds instead of being started to keep people. who didn't extend . to. 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 of public disturbance a sense in the it area trials in the last seven months there have been more people put on military trials than the number of people that were poor movie it was under president of the nurses of the president of the solutrean and president mubarak's ring individually of course there are thousands of cases that have been put there 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 score of his forehead still hasn't healed but these activists believes he got off lightly from season counter to the police a month ago the son of the former presidential contender who was jailed by the mubarak's regime nor says the new authorities are just

a brutal later version of the all it's extremely few live there is very little difference between the people who are ruling us now and his legal and that many of the crimes that hosting go to committed to his people are currently being committed to us now by the people who are ruling with the disguise of the revolution because 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 spilled on the streets of cairo it's not a boycott artsy it's a. all right now from egypt now to syria where the intense government land and sea assault on the coastal town of attack here is thought out of claimed at least 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 kick start reforms

and stop the bloodshed assad made us some promises weeks ago but as journalist neil clark told us here at r.t. the outright western support for the opposition is fueling the violence. and two days ago president a sad said it was going well now multi-party system in syria but i think the opposition in boulder by the support they getting from foreign countries such as the usa france etc i don't think that's what's really creating this very dangerous situation where we could be heading into civil war and we really don't know too much about you. this week we're seeing things in the west who are very sort of wise to you because you know that your position on betrays rights and why they're absolutely fantastic democrats of course i'm sure 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 opposition must take our getting that in syria is a very helpful tool and if there is a little bit the regime falls we could be into iraq situation where we have six

tarion violence and we could have attacks all the christian community she immerses sunni and the real fear is that syria could just blow up and we could have a terrible terrible civil war we've got to prevent that from happening in the only way we can benefit from happening is if there's internal dialogue in syria. you without a lot from moscow still to come in the program here universal diversion of peace activists in israel fear a new conflict within lebanon saying the government wants to divert attention from its own blunders. and why is. it 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 spark 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. to buy freshly downgraded u.s.

treasury bonds leaving many to ask what grade the rating agencies themselves should deserve a 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 downgrade its on a hospital in the us well it's. 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 in the 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. the government still work response from the downgrade or that helped ratchet up at 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 been

a big 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 asim piece mark actually count well not much according to sun 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 many of the big bankruptcies are give our investment. alina there are strange rites of a very edgy they get a aaa rating to the day 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 the paying them though and i'd like i'm running a big old 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 co yeah they have a stake in test for objectivity for

a solution the financial reform has restrictions on rating agencies and the rules that are yet to be written and a curious huge view about what those rules and up looking like it would 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. impede because of government debt or remember the government ran up that debt in part because of bailed out the big banks then 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 ad which makes you wonder if the ratings agencies themselves deserve a downgrade lauren lyster r.t. washington d.c. . of course one of our news stories a feature is available for you twenty four seven on our website. but let's have

a look at some of the items waiting for you there right now stories of the past called british spies plotted to. by smuggling estrogen into his food and other bizarre plans from the u.k. intelligence service and. return to the norwegian island where he went on the rampage and sixty nine people that's. our other social networks to share your views. is.

british prime minister david cameron is zero tolerance approach to. the country's worst. eight hundred charges but political activist says it won't be long before more disorder erupts as arrests alone can solve the fundamental cause. 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. in prison sentences we've seen one. for you jailed for six months for stealing one pound the bottle of water in the united kingdom though there is greater inequality. for the last two hundred year it is that he's an ass to go back to the base of the slave trade to find such a just terribly good in the rich and of course what you expect if you show people repeatedly the most expensive consumer goods tell them that their sell or the

life that 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 that move there because the wage is also low or because there are no jobs at all well because of. politics 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 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. would solve the problem. well from violence on the streets to violence in the home i don't miss our report on the epidemic of domestic abuse in the united states which tells into the psyche of both victims and their abusers that's five g.m.t. right here. you can hear dr squires policeman smiles ministers

european football championship that ukraine co-hosts next year that's all he's alexy our stuff he found out in here that neo nazi ism has deep roots in the country's football fan culture. the beautiful game turned ugly in the second half of you know what you first discovered partly for several dozen fans brutally attacked its two word it was trying to take down banners supporting world war two insurgent army leaders. and the monstrous each under he says he was simply trying to force the law yeah. my cd burners and for fans to remove them this violated the law that no political agitation could be used in 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. which is status has long been the main talking point 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 invaders killing civilians russians poles and jews without mercy more than sixty years later and it was nearly killed as well but he's not sorry about his actions. there and she gave a criminal. is no place for naziism these banners are being hung by the same people who attack red army veterans and. fish here ukrainian football is no stranger to off the violence and nazi slogans the same football fans who cost with the police are often seen in the nationalist marches at times carrying symbols for didn't buy food bowl organizations in europe some experts blame the trend on the ideology of the previous administration over the. ultra nationalism has been radicalized in ukraine because for five years it's been strongly supported by the ruling elites

you know ultra right and neo nazi movements are infiltrating football supporters and nobody does anything about it either the authorities you know the football clubs and you 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 and heroes death to enemies these laws fans in ukraine they will do everything to avoid incidents like this one those people are provocateurs and we'll ask them for grants 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 betters commemorating the likes of which still a feature and 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 the final game of the euro twenty championship 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 get rid of hooliganism 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 free video section have a look at this right now this is from years of victory day commemorations in the western city of one hundred so far youths are charging praise for nazi collaborators and assaulting world war two veterans of the war footage online for you right now preview d.-o. . dot com. closer. to.

the future flights. our team takes to the max air show. twenty minutes past the hour here in moscow peace activists in salary believe that a new israeli eleven on a war is now inevitable they say now is the perfect time for a new conflict to shift international attention from social protest within israel as well as a possibility that a new palestinian state could be recognized and its color reports there's still a lot of tension from the previous war. five years on since the last israel living on wall and israelis are convinced his below is re arming itself backed by syria and iran. unfortunately. in the situation poor much. of

a goal of which wipe out hezbollah to disarm and threw 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 . every five years. defense of war we ought to be for themselves. probably. 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 eleven on can't be sure of his support the 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 there might trigger israel to go and try to take a smaller one it's a week at some point. and as fate would have it it's not only his bets weak this is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu is facing the toughest challenge of his

two and a half year premiership these sorts of protests the man for netanyahu to make drastic change which is why some suggest it is nothing like a wall to quite and these young protesters it certainly the good completion but these people who are conducting the process. are the same people who will go to the army to fight a war in such a war would also potentially distract the united nations and international community from wiki and i think a palestinian state which is on the cards for approval next month policy. must be peaceful and must then months later and. dramatize this event that is clearly obvious we're short on them. and there will be people you. should back. and don't you ever leave if this is really what everybody is quick preparing for and among the occasional border skirmishes and aerial incursions it's really just

a matter of time until the next conflict politically r t tel aviv. i do without you life in moscow at such as a lot of world headlines for you in our world update a wave of deadly explosions of course carnage across iraq two twin bomb attacks in the city of huet claimed the lives of thirty five wounded dozens of others later seven blasts followed them in the province of diyala leaving at least ten dead i know want to take responsibility for the flurry of violence that has had up to nine iraqi cities. fighting in libya continues as the rebels try to force governmental troops out of a strategic city about fifty kilometers from the capital tripoli the opposition at using that pickup trucks with machine guns and anti aircraft weapons mounted on them are fighting their way through zawiya it's the closest the frontline is coming to tripoli and there are reports that i mean time libya's interior minister may have left the country to go back. but i know we're in

a sphere with the latest in the world of business. hello and welcome to business here on r.t. the russian shareholders and seeing the p.r. take their british counterparts pratt so the stockholm arbitration tribe you know they want a final ruling on whether b.p. broke a shareholder agreement by trying to organize the arctic exploration and share swap deal with ross the russian shareholders say they are not seeking compensation of a swedish court instead they have launched lawsuits in russia claiming that matters to the company amounts 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 of two thousand and eight but despite the current positive movement david jones from i g in the explosives the market may still plunge even deeper. the risk is even though we've had a fairly quiet couple of days the risk is we could carry on going in the weeks

ahead it's very similar to sort of moves you see in markets to what was happening three years ago when we had to thank you crisis and then we had plenty of volatility big slides go quiet for a bit and just move lower again i think we have seen quite a pretty change in sentiment towards stock markets over the last few weeks you know there's a very worries about the situation of course we have the us that when times are good why are you getting that ceiling raised we have the time go by the u.s. we've still got all these problems in continental europe with it's really inspiring so growth is a very good step in the risk of a double dip recession but i think the immediate risk is for the stock markets to slide a bit for. us take a look at the markets no oil has been up and down all day right now it's definitely back in the black light sweet is adding almost one dollar there was such a more a dollar fifty nine cents fall brines is adding a little bit over
