now we're just after seven pm on a monday here in moscow this is the with me role research 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 as the lawyer for mubarak and his sons are asked for time to review the latest evidence. on september the fifth mubarak wheeled into court on his sick bed is on trial for corruption and ordering the killing of protesters in february's uprising meantime the new clashes between pro and anti mubarak supporters outside the hearing of those who still support the former president are saying that the trial is a way to humiliate him but it's not to use orcs on a boy to found out even goes on to river square during the uprising say the kind of military rulers are committing the same crimes. too

young to vote yet old enough to die for his country this war was just seventeen when it tips and 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 pure and. well in the age of right now if the date of death was gunned down prior to mubarak's resignation as celebrated as 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 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 because his older brother he celebrated mubarak's departure from power or to fear of taking. for the and to the

police state three months later he was killed in what his brother believes was a government sanctioned shoot out the man as an army sniper showed my brother dead the bullet went through his forehead and it came out on the side and i saw it that 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 and stacked 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. 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 if 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 out 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 the president of the. president of course. 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 as current his forehead still hasn't healed but this activist believes he got off lightly from he's encountered 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 few that there is very little difference between the people who are ruling us no symbol 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 blood is still being spilled on the streets of cairo it's not a boycott artsy it's empty. meantime in syria the government land and sea your salt on the coastal town of lattakia is thought of claim now at least twenty more lives it's the latest outburst of violence in the brutal crackdown on protests for the scene of 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 that weeks ago but journalist nick neil clark told us the outright western support of your position is helping to fuel the violence. ten 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 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 seeing things in the west through a very sort of view because you know that your position 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 the opposition must take power but we're going to let 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 and

violence develop we could have attacks on the christian community she immerses 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 in the only way we can prevent them from happening because if there's 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. and why zero tolerance zero effect we've got expert opinion on what the u.k. government is doing wrong in containing undressed. 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 standard and poor's itself while investors flocked to buy freshly downgraded u.s.

treasury bonds it's leading many to ask what grade the rating agencies deserve themselves as artie's lauren lyster 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. us 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 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. 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 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. 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 and they've missed many of the big bankruptcies they gave our investment is. ratings to lehman to bear stearns right to the very end gee they gave a aaa rating too 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 judge of paying the bill and i'm rounding 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 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. and p. because of government debt burden 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 all with ought to it's good to have your company today and all of our new stories features available for you twenty four seven of course dot com our web site

. 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 before you jailed for six months for stealing a one pound fifty bottle of water in the united kingdom that was there is greater inequality any point for the last two hundred you're 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 you expect if you show people

repeatedly the most expensive consumer goods tell them that their self-worth in 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 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 no i don't 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 special report on the epidemic of domestic abuse in the u.s. which delves into the psyche of both victims and their abusers that's at five pm g.m.t. . it can hear dr swan's policeman. minister's wife

i just. didn't find me if i could sleep through the night that i would get my kids out of here because i knew that it was going to happen he was going to kill me many victims don't understand that domestic violence includes verbal abuse psychological piece physical abuse and sexual abuse at least four million women are affected by abuse every year girls around two options that i saw that mostly either i'm going to kill him or me in jail or he's going to kill it is. now a quarter past the hour here in moscow a recent. will be remembered not just for the girls but also for the brutal nazi influenced violence which flared up at the stadium this elector's incident has added to fears that racists and hooligans may spoil the european football

championship that ukraine co-hosts next year and as r.t. as i found out in kiev near naziism has a deep roots in the country's football fan culture. the beautiful game turned ugly in the second half of you know my cue first off several dozen fans brutally attacked a steward he was trying to take down banners supporting world war two insurgent army leaders. and. under he says he was simply trying to enforce the law. for fans to remove them this violated no political agitation can be used at football games they refuse to try 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. here 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 and it was nearly killed as well but he is not story about his actions. and criminals is no place for naziism these banners are being hung by the same people who attacked veterans of 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 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 about either the authorities know the football clubs the dinar maccie of clubs as it carries no direct responsibility for. incident with. glory to ukraine. death to enemies these laws. everything to avoid incidents like this one those people. 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 kiev bettors commemorating the likes of which featuring twenty twelve could seriously harm the country's reputation for all and has no second opinion about them calling them nazi war criminals with less than a year remaining until the final game of the euro twenty. it's 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. and. if not experts say. a serious sanctions from the european football governing bodies. reporting from kiev ukraine. not just sports. you can see for yourself. free video. from this year's victory. hundreds of. world war two veterans.

shape the future. to the max. twenty minutes past the hour here in moscow peace activists in tel aviv believe that a new israeli lebannon 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 artie's paullus leader reports 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. and unfortunately. 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 sort of lou they like to just avoid defense of 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 hizbullah 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 it's week

these really prime minister binyamin 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 good old temptation of these people who are conducting the process. the same people who go to the army to fight their war and such a war would also potentially distract the united nations and international community from wickedness in a palestinian state which is on the cards for approval next month policy to it start must be peaceful and must then months later and to. dramatize this event. we're short on them. and there will be people who. should back. and. this is really what everybody is quickly preparing for and among the

occasional border skirmishes. aerial incursions it's really just a matter of time until the next full scale conflict. tell of it. or an interesting moment here it's marina where the business news but for now our world update a wave of deadly explosions of course carnage iraq to twenty bomb attacks in the city of could claim the lies of thirty five and wounded dozens others. seven blasts followed them in the province of diyala killing at least ten and no one has taken responsibility for the flurry of violence that has had up to nine iraqi cities. fighting in libya continues as rebels try to force the governmental troops out of a strategic city some fifty kilometers from the capital tripoli the opposition using pickup trucks and machine guns and see aircraft weapons mounted on them fighting their way through it is the closest the frontline has come to tripoli in months and there are reports that libya's interior minister may have already left

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 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 go quiet for a bit and 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 went down to the wire getting that ceiling where i used we had to downgrade by the u.s. we've still got all these problems in continental europe with it's really inspiring so growth isn't 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 further. let's take a look at the markets now or oil has been up and down pretty much all day right now it's definitely back in the light both light sweet and brant are gaining over
