you shine deposed president hosni mubarak and his former interior minister will face the judgment of an egyptian court side by side a judge has ordered the trials to be merged into one monday's hearing was short has the lawyer for mubarak and his sons all asked for time to review the latest evidence they will return on september the fifth mubarak of 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 of here and those who still support the former president saying the trial is a way to humiliate him but it's also used on a boy found out even those on two roofs with 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 when a different police killed him on the tougher square last winter today he's portrayed adorns one of clyro central thoroughfares there's even a talk of naming

a street in his name what makes someone and more interior and. well in the age of right now if the date of death was gunned down prior to mubarak's resignation of celebrating this patriots who gave up with a brighter future of their country those killed after his ousting sometimes are free to ask criminals to undermine their country's democratic strides and it doesn't matter that they share the same goals and they'd have these days just this is about power and knowing the other way around this young man also counted himself among the children of the revolution because his older brother he celebrated mubarak's departure from power or to fear taking needs for the and to the police state three months later he was killed and what his brother believes was a government sanctioned shoot out there and is going to and on the snipers should my brother david the bullet went through his food and it came down to. i saw it

that no one here has a weapon like this only soldiers do like sam lisa victims whose deaths are now being pinned on mubarak these people receive no monetary compensation for their loss in fact they're increasingly worried that the new military authorities may persecute them studs is became an all encompassing term for those who don't appreciate the ruling military click and as most of us are bodies we expected the army to intervene to protect people to stop mines 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 caught protesting accused of public disturbance and sent in 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 the 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 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 believe he got off lightly from he's encountered 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 it's extremely few that there is very little difference between the people who are ruling the snow. 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 body is still being spilled on the streets of cairo on a boycott artsy it's empty. all right now from egypt now to syria where the intense government land and sea assault on the coastal town of latakia is thought to have claimed at least twenty lives it's the latest outburst of violence in the brutal crackdown on protesters but 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 a some promises weeks ago but as journalist neil clark told us here at r.t. the right western support the opposition is fueling 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 are getting from foreign countries such as the usa france etc and i think that's what's really creating is very dangerous situation where we could be heading into civil war and we don't know too much about people who say you know we're all sleep we're seeing things in the west through a very sort of biased view because you know the opposition arbitrators whites and white there are absolutely fantastic democrats of course i'm sure there are people in the opposition 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 but the opposition must take power getting 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 and versus sunni and the real fear is that syria could just blow up but when you 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. still to come in the program here universal diversion peace activists in israel fear a new conflict within lebanon saying the government wants to divert attention from from its own. zero 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 one investor to buy freshly downgraded u.s. treasury bonds leaving many to ask what grade the rating agencies themselves should deserve a list of reports. breaking news the united states has just lost its top notch triple a credit rating from it was the downgrade heard around 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 reigning it in a tea party downgrade in a lot of it has to do with the failure of the president of the stage i think this is a tea party problem the greater in chief says the u.s. is becoming a bit more unpredictable and. proposed to some of the other governments that were a stoic response from the downgrade or that helped to 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 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 but it missed many of the big bankruptcies they gave high investment. 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 are being judged by paying the bill and i'm rounding a big goal 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 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.n.p. because of government debt member 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 will of course one of our news stories features available for you twenty four seven on our website that's on top com let's have a look at some of the items waiting for you there right now stories of the past called british spies.

but. 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 in a prison sentence we've seen one. for you jailed for six months for stealing one pound of the bottle of water in the united kingdom that was there is greater inequality any point for the last two hundred years if that is 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 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 them either

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 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 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 delves into the psyche of both victims and their abusers that's five pm g.m.t. right here on r.t. . it can hear dr swan's policeman's one minister's wife i just prayed. she 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 that domestic violence includes verbal abuse psychological abuse physical abuse and sexual acts at least four million women are affected by abuse every year. in jail or he's going to kill it is. now a quarter past the hour here in the russian capital you without say a recent match. will be remembered not only for girls but also for the brutal nazi influenced the 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 that's all. you found out in kenya. has deep roots in the country's football fan culture. the beautiful game turned

ugly in the second half of genomic you first of several dozen fans brutally attacked a steward 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 force the law yes. 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 point 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 it was nearly killed as well but he

is not story about his actions. and criminals is no place for. being hung by the same people who attacked veterans and. fish year ukrainian football is no stranger to off pitch violence and nazi slogans the same football fans who cost with the police are often seen in the marches at times carrying symbols for britain by football organizations in europe 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 movement or infiltrating football supporters and nobody does anything either the authorities know the football clubs to do no more key of clubs as it carries no direct responsibility for the incident with

andre. like to ukraine. death to enemies these laws in ukraine but everything to avoid incidents like this one those people are provocateurs and. 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 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 could face serious sanctions

from the european football governing bodies. are 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 and our free video section have a look at this right now this is from this year's victory day commemorations in the western city of hundreds of. praise for nazi collaborators. in world war two veterans footage online for you right now. talk. show future flight. takes to the air show. twenty minutes past the hour here in moscow peace activists

in tel aviv 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 that a new palestinian state could be recognized and as paula reports there's still a lot of tension from the previous war. five years on instance the last israel lebanon wall and israelis are convinced his below is we arming itself backed by syria and iran but we can anticipate unfortunately to get all your asian in the situation to a much bigger. the goal of which to wipe out hezbollah to disarm and to add 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 it would be five years very sorry lou they like to just avoid the sense of war they want to defend themselves. 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 hizbullah in lebanon can't 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 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 these really prime minister binyamin netanyahu is facing me toughest challenge of his two and a half year premiership these social protests 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. 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 for approval next month policy there must be peace for must and. the armor ties this event. will shoot on them. and there will be people who. should back. this is clearly 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 pulis t.r.t. television. i do without you live from moscow let's check out some other world headlines for you in our world update now

a wave of deadly explosions of course carnage across iraq two twin bomb attacks in the city of could claimed the lives of thirty five wounded dozens others later seven blasts followed them in the province of diyala leaving at least ten dead and no one has taken 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 using a pickup trucks with machine guns and anti aircraft weapons mounted on them are fighting their way through zawiya but 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 to. the right so now we're here with the latest in the world of business. i. follow and welcome to business here on r.t. the russian shareholders in seeing k b p are taking their british counterparts back

to the stockholm arbitration tribe you know 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 valsin russian shareholders say they are not seeking compensation through the swedish court instead they have launched lawsuits in russia claiming damages to the company amounted to three billion dollars. the world's financial markets are heading for the third straight session of gains and that's after the most of all it's all week since september two thousand and eight but the spine of the current positive movement david jones from i g n the expletives 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 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 and of course we have the u.s. that when time to then why are you getting that feeling where i used we had 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 there's definitely a risk of a double dip recession but i think the immediate risk is for the stock markets to slide a bit. let's take a look at the markets now 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 well it's actually more a dollar fifty nine cents fall brights is adding a little bit over a dollar let's take a look at the precious metals they are mixed the sour of this actually it's brought up after the break in a new record on thursday it's going to loosen point three percent silver is gaining . more and eight percent there it's trading up thirty nine dollars per ounce and

over to europe now markets are trading in positive territory their shares are recruitment and stuff from my full page are down sixteen percent after disappointing first half results but banks are up in frankfurt commerzbank is in the lead gaining two point six percent. and here in russia of course is our end of black with energy and mining stocks among the main gainers the r.t.s. this gaining over three and a half percent it's all my sex is adding oh almost two and a half percent there let's take a look at the market movers on the my socks russian steel maze the severstal is gaining one percent after recording its. twenty percent rise in that profit for the first half not on my own or else nickel is no exception it's adding almost one for science the company's board says another share buyback program is advisable in all major roles left is also off the company's revenue rose thirty three percent in the

first half of the year reaching over twenty two billion dollars. for investors who are keen to jump in so there are some market at the moment there was some from at and says the range of interesting stories is actually quite limited where you want to be if you have to be in russia it's going to be telecom selected consumers and some selected utilities select is difficult because you have the election side to it but i do think when it comes to cyclical stocks you have to very careful financials in russia looks fantastic to be honest but the problem is that when you see a market goes down because of the financial crisis you're going to see financials being hit in europe and the us the russian banks that are listed and or produce sound will get punished by association. and that's all there is us is for now the headlines are next the nori.
