1:06 pm
a cave in he's been on trial this could be the picking of the new middle east but we don't know what's going to happen directions because if dearie triumphs in the our actions if we have somebody like. former secretary of the earthly or even mohammed el baradei it was called the muslim brotherhood or even another candidate which is a region candidate raef arabs and we could write some for me in washington d.c. for instance we are seeing a sense of change and this is what the real square protesters will be with their full leisurely focus on destroyed also. in syria the intense government land and sea assault on the coastal town of attack it is thought to have claimed another twenty lives is the latest outburst of violence and the tester for the scene of a 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 a sad made
1:07 pm
some promises weeks ago journalist neil clark told r.t. western support for the opposition is fueling the violence. two days ago present a sad said and we're now multi-party system in syria but i think the opposition involved and by the support they getting from foreign countries such as the usa france etc i think that's what's really creating it's very dangerous situation where we could be heading into civil war when we don't go to michael who has a. history we're seeing things in the west who are very sort of you because you know you're position arbitrators right and right they're absolutely fantastic democrats of course i'm full of people in your position 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 government must go but the opposition must take our getting any syria is a very helpful tool and if there is a. regime force we could be into iraq situation where we have sick terror and violence and. we could have attacks all the christian community sunni and the real
1:08 pm
fear is that syria could just blow up we could have a terrible terrible civil war we've got to prevent that what happened in the only way we can benefit from happening is if there's internal dialogue in syria. well still to come on the program here in our universe or the version peace activists in israel fear a new conflict with lebanon saying the government wants to divert attention from its own blunders. also still to come the decision to cut america's debt rating spark chaos on the world markets with panic leading to trillions worth of sell offs for the move now to a drop in the shares of standard and poor's itself while investors flock to buy freshly downgraded u.s. treasury bonds leaving many to ask what grade the rating agencies deserve themselves. as this report. breaking news the united states has just lost its top notch triple a credit rating from it was the downgrade heard around the
1:09 pm
world and the strong reaction to the rating downgrades on a hoss and us well it's that standard and poor's took the u.s. from straight aaa student to one notch below for the first time ever that marks were handed down for the nation's debt and politicians inability to agree on reining it in a two party downgrade a lot of it has to do with the fate of the president of the states i think this is a tea party for the greater in chief says the u.s. is becoming more. growth through. a still work 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 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 as m.p.'s mark actually count well not much
1:10 pm
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 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 many of the big bankruptcies they gave our investment here. ratings to lean on to bear stearns right to the very edgy they gave the aaa rating to the almost the last good grades for firms that collapsed or were bailed out
1:11 pm
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 get like i'm running a big 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 big carrot huge deal about what those rules and of looking like so it wouldn't surprise me if they were trying to curry favor with cultivations in fact they've spent
1:12 pm
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 ai 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 and makes you wonder if the ratings agencies themselves deserve a downgrade lauren lyster r.t. marching to d.c. . you with. news stories and features are available for you on our website so you don't come here for a look at what's available there for you right now stories of the past our producers spies prostitutes feminize hits now. by smuggling eastern jet into his food and other bizarre plans from the u.k. intelligence services. and watch and his brave it's return to the norwegian island
