man also khalid from south among the children of the revolution because older brother he celebrated more guards departure from power or to fear take the need 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 and army sniper should my brother did. it and it came down to me and i saw no one here has a weapon. like families of victims whose that's a now being pinned to mubarak these people receive no monetary compensation for their loss in fact they're increasingly worried that the new military authorities may persecute them starts became an open compassing term for those who don't appreciate the ruling military. and i guess we expected beyond between two people just don't mind. instead they started to kill people themselves are about
11:04 am
who didn't expect. that it was. the supreme council of the armed forces to cover it 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 course the disturbance he 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 movie shows on the president of the nurses or the president or solutrean 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 it's currently four had still hasn't healed 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 regime nor says the new authorities are just a group like the version of the or it's extremely few that there is very little difference between the people who are ruling us know. and that many of the crimes the western world are committed to speak are currently being committed to us now by the people who are ruling with the disguise of the revolution because these bloody t. shirt is 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 on a boycott artsy. meantime in syria the government land and sea your salt on

the coastal town of tucker is thought of claim now at least twenty more lives it's the latest outburst of violence and a brutal crackdown on protests that we've 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 nick neil clark told us the outright western support of your position is helping to fuel the violence. two days ago president sad said he was going to allow multi-party system in syria but i think the opposition be emboldened by the support they getting from foreign countries such as the usa france it's i 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 people who say you know we're obviously we're seeing things in the west who are very sort of wise to you because you know the opposition to trade is what's right they're absolutely fantastic democrats of course i'm sure there are people in your position who are
11:07 am
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 to the opposition must take power getting 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 we could have attacks on the christian community she and versus sunni and the real fear is that syria could just blow up but we could have a terrible terrible civil war we've got to prevent that happening any only way we can prevent it from happening is an internal dialogue in syria. with r.t. still to come for you in the program universal diversion peace activists throw fear that if you conflict with lebanon on what i say the government wants to divert attention from its own blunders. why zero tolerance zero effect is what expert opinion on what the u.k. government is doing wrong in containing and breast. the decision to

cut america's debt rating sparked chaos all over the world markets with panic leading to trillions worth of sell offs but the move also led to a drop in the shares of the important self well investors flock to buy freshly downgraded u.s. treasury bonds it's leading many to ask what grade the rating agencies deserve themselves as our kids learn later explains. 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 standard and poor's took the u.s. from straight aaa student to one notch below zero for the first time ever that 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 present united states i think this is a tea party from the greater in chief says the u.s. is becoming more.
11:09 am
a stoic response from the downgrade or that helped ratchet up the the yeah tricks of the debt ceiling debate but the help of the other ratings agencies of course stealing the show from bickering politicians with their eyes on the debt deal they nabi 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 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 low 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
11:10 am
eight these are the same agencies that rated the toxic sub prime debt 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 give our investment. very strong try to be very edgy they gave a aaa rating to the almost the day it collapsed 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 think i'm running
11:11 am
a big old version of the 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 no yeah they have a stake in test for objectivity for. financial reform because restrictions on rating agencies and the rules that are yet to be written and they carry huge deal about what those rules. it would surprise me if they were trying to curry favor with alterations 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 or 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 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 me wonder if the ratings agencies themselves deserve

kingdom though there is greater inequality any one for the last two hundred euro's that is going to actually go back to the days of the slave trade to find such a just share of the rich and of what you expect if you show people repeatedly the most expensive consumer goods tell them their cell or three life but their respect for other people will be judged by the degree to which they can obtain these goods and then deny them the ability to get them or you there because the wages also low or because there are no jobs at all because of endemic politics this is the combustible material that's been building up at the bottom of british society for a generation ago only really the surprise is not that the riots happened but the people or 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. from violence on the streets to violence in the home our special report on

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 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 one day was nearly killed as well but he's not story about his actions. there and. criminals is no place for nazis and these banners are being hung by the same people who attacked red army veterans in the night 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 nationalist marches at times caring symbols for been by food well organizations in europe some experts blame the trend on the ideology
11:18 am
of the previous administration. ultra nationalism has been radicalized in ukraine because for five years it's been strongly supported by the ruling elite know for rights movements are infiltrating football supporters and nobody does anything either the authorities know the football clubs the do normal key of clubs as it carries no direct responsibility for the incident with andre green's people who was not forgotten by law to chant slogans like glory to ukraine quality heroes death to enemies these laws unite fans in ukraine everything to avoid incidents like this one those people are provocateurs and little. grains 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 voters commemorating the likes of which if still a feature in twenty twelve could seriously harm the country's reputation for
11:19 am
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 twelve championship it's a 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 call the going isn't and racism not tolerated in europe if not experts say then kiev could face serious sanctions from the european football governing bodies. r.t. reporting from kiev in ukraine. and it's not just in the sports stadiums either neo nazis often come out onto the streets in ukraine as you can see for yourself at r.t. is free video section i have this footage about see here from this year's victory day commemorations in the western city of what hundreds of far right youths chanting praise for the collaborators and assaulting world war two veterans.

for you online right now free video dot r.t. dot com. closer. to. shape the future flight. our team takes to the max air show. twenty minutes past the hour here in moscow peace activists in tel aviv believe that a new israeli lebanon war is now inevitable they say now is the perfect time for a new conflict to shift international attention away from social protests within israel as well as the possibility of a new palestinian state that could be recognized as our reports there's still a lot of tension from the previous war. five years on the last israel lebanon wall
11:21 am
and israelis are convinced his below is re arming itself backed by syria and iran. unfortunately. in the situation to a much bigger. wall. the goal of which. is ballance the desired man one less. enemy of the border but say the critics thinking a war is inevitable is simple israeli propaganda churned out for their own purposes there is likely war every five years. that there is a war they want to be for 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 his villa in lebanon can't be sure of his support a fall of the syrian regime may create
11:22 am
a new government which may want to shift away from the iranian alliance in turn then my trigger is not there might trigger israel to go and try to take as well though it's a week at some point. and as fate would have it it's not only has been up it's weak this is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu is facing me toughest challenge of his two and a half year premiership a social protest samantha netanyahu to make drastic change which is why some suggest there's nothing like a war to quieten these young protesters people certainly the good open patient these people who are conducting the process. of the same people will go to the army to fight a war and such a war would also potentially distract the united nations and international community from recognizing a palestinian state which is on the cards for approval next month policy and for its start there must be peace for must wish and. lamarck guys this event is really army would shoot on them. and there will be people. who should
