very true that the taj was the bush coromandel you can a letter tell the socialist bhutto it's a duty to go and. register the colonel was her child as a retreat. for former egyptian president charges of corruption and ordering killings in a car of course but many who acted to depose him say little has changed since he left. investors worldwide rallied to buy u.s. government bonds in defiance of that knock down that left the markets in shambles brazen tough questions over the trustworthiness of credit rating agencies. and a neo nazis strike if you crane in football matches unleashing brutal violence in stadiums leading to fears hooligans could ruin the european championships to be held next year.

international news and comment live from moscow this is r.t. with twenty four hours a day deposed president hosni mubarak and his former interior minister will face the judgment of an egyptian court side by side the judges ordered their trials to be merged into one monday's hearing was sure what is the lawyer for mubarak and his sons are asked for time to review evidence and return on september the fifth barack wheeled into court on his sick bed is on trial for corruption and ordering the killing of protesters in fed results rising there's been clashes between pro and anti immigrant supporters outside the hearing and those who still support the former president saying the trial is a way to relate to those articles on a bulk of found even those on top here square during the uprising say the current military rulers are committing the same crimes. so young to vote yet old enough to die for. this book. i was just seventeen when egyptian police killed him

on the tucker square last winter so these were true one of. their affairs there's even talk of naming a street in his name what makes someone and more appear and another. in egypt right now if the date of those rundown prior to mubarak's resignation celebrated its patriots through. with the rider future of their country those hills i think is ousting sometimes are pretty serious criminals who stop to undermine their country's democratic strides it doesn't matter that they shared the same goals and they've had these days just this is about power and knowing the other way around this young man also counted himself among the children of revolution with his older brother who celebrated mubarak's departure from power or to fear taking needs for the and to the police three months later he was killed and what his brother believes was

a government sanctioned shoot them in his room and on the snipers should my brother dad and the bullet went through the school hit and it came down to me and i saw it was no one here has a weapon like this only soldiers do like families the victims whose deaths are now being pinned to mubarak these people receive no monetary compensation for their laws in fact they're increasingly worried that the new military authorities may persecute them a studs just became an own compass and term for those who don't appreciate the ruling military clique and as the source of all these we expected the only to intervene to protect just two minds instead of. people. who didn't extend their political progress so the supreme council of the armed forces as an interim caretaker when mubarak stepped down brought to power by the protests that 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 at the use of public disturbance 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 military and the president are the most is the president of war so that's really president mubarak's three individuals 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 these sent horrible sentences starting from three years up to twenty five years as currently or had still had and feel that these activists believes he got off lightly from season counter going to police a month ago the son of a former presidential contender was jailed by the mubarak regime nor says the new authorities are just a group like the version of the all right it's extremely clear the there is very

little difference between the people who are ruling us no horse in world and that many of the crimes the muslim world are committed to speak are currently being committed to us now by the people who are ruling with the disguise of the revolution he gives these dry the 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 some of boycott artsy. well for analysis on the situation in egypt right now let's cross to asia times correspondent pepe escobar he's joining us live. now following that report we've just seen do you think there has been any significant change in egypt since the fall of mubarak. well it's inside a cage on a stretcher how about death for change but the thing is i would argue that the key

witness in the whole process is going to be field marshals and the tower is being mubarak some defense minister for two decades so bell is going to tell us whether it will barak ordered the interior ministry and the defense ministry or balls to shoot protesters all or if the interior minister oddly heem self took this decision i'll see this will be a crucial part of the trial it's not going to happen within the next few weeks of course israel has been adjourned to september so meet me we're going to hear about . what i was going to see by the time egypt is going to have elections so can you imagine this extended ramit then t v soap opera drama merging with the people going into the streets to elect the new generation who's going to rule egypt this is going to be something heard of the modern middle east

interesting enough east talk about the t.v. coverage that actually doesn't appear to be happening the next time around the house it's not going to have your right to judge the rule is that it's going to be closed to media which is this is what most of the egyptian population is when if they wanted to see a lie what their problem is there's going to be a lot of contradictions they're going to call a lot of witnesses that war throw mubarak of course they're going to try to excuse themselves we don't know what if if if the reach him is going to rat on itself in fact i know because and of course it does raise that question asked of pressure from those who asked him about other countries who supported the revolution will they have a fair trial these ten and of course the others who stand trial it's very hard to say because these equally this is the barrack cina on the back it's lowering its will barracks his sons and suzanne his wife is not there. because basically for for two or three arrests confiscated by to stick it to me to deal with the new regino

which is basically deal richie briganti need to treat her well so for she's not going to be part of the trash she won't be accused of in a six but she was behind mark's decision for instance to become a that people barrack dynasty he was going to hand over power to some guy moll basic could because pressure by his wife suzanne what are your thoughts about the outcome of the trial what could happen you think it's very early to tell but like i told you before the fact that mubarak is in a cage in he's been on trial this could be the beginning of the new middle east but we don't know what's going to happen deal actions because if hillary jean triumphs in the elections if we have somebody like the airports in the. former secretary of the arab league or even mohamed el baradei who is called those with the muslim brotherhood or even another candidate which is a region candidate refinance and we could p.r. quite some for me in washington d.c. for instance i'm not seeing

a sense of change and this is what the real square protesters do with their eyes full course laser focus on this fire at all times so you can sound also that the trial may not be the outcome granting the wish of the majority of egyptians it could not it could not say you can't. defense team is very good at this sprawling the best collection of lawyers i would say perot region lawyers in egypt at the moment so. if he's good if you split understand which would be a major cook for the defense there's still a lot of ault's egypt's support for mubarak people who profited from the region and specially people linked to the armed forces who profit from the regime for thirty years so it's not a done deal that is going to be convicted at all so this or. evolution when we look at it in what five ten years time a good moment in egypt's history or not yes. you're totally right it's i would say

it's a crossroads for the beginning the poorest paying remember to leave the right this is the real course spanx of the new middle east the fact that anything for thirty years in fact dictatorship in egypt had to go for more than forty years it's actually on the stand now it's. you huge step ahead the problem is this is still too early and this is a it's not it's not a river aleutian it's a transformation the real revolution the for instance if this is the real war if the elections are bought by the previous three g. again we're going to have a real revolution on the streets because people who went at the risk where and more than eight hundred people were actually killed but it will be arab street gene and their relatives and their supporters they will stand for it is seeing less then a real transformation it's always good to hear what i have to say thanks so much

for your thoughts and your time joining us live there. thank you. in syria the intense government land and sea assault on the coastal town of latakia is thought to have claimed another twenty nine the latest outburst of violence in the brutal crackdown on protestors 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 made some promises weeks ago but as journalist neil clark has told me the western support for the opposition is fueling the violence. ten days ago president assad 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 i think that's what's really creating is very dangerous situation where we could be heading into civil war and we really don't know too much about you who's. seeing things in the west who are very sort of wise to you because you know a lot of positional trade as whites and white they're absolutely fantastic

democrats and of course i'm sure there are people in opposition who are like that but when you contrast it with the situation in bahrain we didn't get the statements from the u.s. saying that the government must do the opposition must take power getting that in syria isn't very helpful at all and if there is a. regime falls we could be into iraq situation where we have six area violence developing we could have attacks all of christian community sunni and real fear is that syria could just blow up would go 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 what result you live here in russian capital still to come in the program universal diversion of peace activists in israel a new conflict with evidence saying the government wants to divert attention from its own. the decision to cut america's debt rating sparked 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 of the states flock to buy freshly downgraded u.s. treasury bonds leaving many to ask what grade the rating agencies deserve themselves. mr 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 it's on a hoss wounded u.s. well it's standard and poor's took the u.s. from straight aaa student to one not a low for the first time ever bad marks were handed down to the nation's debt and politicians inability to agree on rein it in a two party downgrade a lot of it has to do with the fate of the president of the stage think this is a tea party problem the greater in chief says the u.s. has become a bit more. still with response from the downgrade or that helped ratchet up the the yeah tricks of

the debt ceiling debate with the help of the other ratings agencies of course stealing the show from 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 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 tests to the too big to fail banks and insurers during the financial crisis. the big bankruptcies they give our investment. still even to bear stearns right to the very g. they gave a aaa rating to the paper last 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 duty right now you have the companies that are are being judged for paying the bill and i'm rounding a big goal of berkshire 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. 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 and up working 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 member of the government ran up that debt in part because it 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 makes you wonder if the ratings agencies themselves deserve a downgrade lauren lyster r.t. washington d.c. . here with r.t.

but recent matchups the number of kiev will be remembered not only for goals but also for the brutal nazi influence violence which flared up in the stadium this latest incident has added to fears that racists and hooligans may spoil the european football championship that ukraine next year was artie's alexi had a chance you found in kiev near narcism has deep roots in the country's football fan culture. the beautiful game turned ugly in the second half of the knowledge you first discovered partly for several dozen fans brutally attacked just to word he was trying to take down banners supporting world war two insurgent army leaders stick around been there and the man says here which until he says he was simply trying to force the law yep of the ball that you made up and the banners and the fans to remove them this violated the normal no political agitation could be used for ball 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 can be 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 1940's they fought alongside the german invaders killing civilians russians poles and jews without mercy more than sixty years later and they was nearly killed as well but he's not sorry about his actions. there and she gave each with murderers and criminals is no place for nazis and these banners are being hung by the same people who attacked red army veterans and the night fishing year ukrainian football is no stranger to off the trial and some nazi slogans the same football fans who crossed with the police are often seen in the nationalist marches at times carrying symbols for didn't buy food bowl organizations in some experts blamed the trend on the ideology of the previous

administration. ultranationalist has been radicalized and ukraine because for five years it's been strongly supported by the ruling elite no ultra right near nazi movements are infiltrating football supporters and nobody does anything either the authorities know the football clubs the genomic e of clubs as it carries no direct responsibility for the incident with andre green's the one who was not forbidden by law to chant slogans like glory to ukraine community heroes death to enemies these laws unite fans in ukraine but everything to avoid incidents like this one those people are provocateurs and while i wish them from from corporations 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 the carriage if they were featuring 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 key of course the final game of the euro twenty twelve championship is 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 hooliganism and racism not tolerated in europe if not experts say then give could face serious sanctions from the european football governing bodies let's see russia r.t. reporting from kiev in ukraine. but it's not just in the sports stadiums either near not as often come out in the streets in ukraine as you can see for yourself and our team dot coms free video section this is from this year's victory day commemorations in the western city of laval hundreds of pyrite youths chanting praise for nazi collaborators and assaulting world war two veterans for all footage is on my view right now at the free video dot party dot com.

peace activists in tel aviv believe a new israeli lebanon war is now inevitable they say now was 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 when its policy reports there's still a lot of tension from the previous war. five years on instance the last israel living on wall and he's really he's not convinced his below is we are not soft backed by syria and iran. unfortunately. in this situation to a much. a goal of which to wipe out hezbollah to disarm them one last. enemy of the border but say the critics thinking a war is inevitable is simple israeli propaganda churned out for the own purposes

there is like a war every five years. of war we ought to be for themselves. blaming the war from the beginning but if war is on the cards now is as good a china xeni syrian president bashar assad is striking chastain toei and hizbullah eleven on 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 following it's a week at some point. and as fate would have it it's not only has been no it's weak he's really prime minister binyamin netanyahu is facing the toughest challenge of his two and a half year premiership these social protest samantha netanyahu to make drastic change which is why some suggest it is nothing like a war to quite and these young protesters it's certainly the group of patients

these people who are productive the authors. are the same people who brought with me to fight a war and such a war would also potentially distract the united nations and international community from working 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. the modernize this event and israeli army should on them. people you. should back. this is really what everybody is really good for and among the occasional border skirmishes and incursions it's really just a matter of time until the next few scale conflict policy r t. well that's all the news we've got for you for the moment here in r.t. next it's time for the business news with marina stay with us live here in moscow.
