2:07 pm
far is normal as most countries would do the same and eight percent think it means the result of the trial is a foregone conclusion on have your say because to hear from. in syria the intense government land and sea assault on the coastal town of attack it is thought to have claimed another twenty lives it's the latest outburst of violence in the brutal crackdown on protesters that 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 made some promises weeks ago but as journalist neil clark has told r.t. western support the opposition is fueling. two days ago a sad said he was going to allow multi-party system in syria but i think the opposition been emboldened by the support radiating from foreign countries such as the usa france etc i think that's what's really creating this very dangerous situation where we could be heading into civil war and we don't know too much about
2:08 pm
you who. see things in the west who are very sort of close to you because you know they look the opposition are traitors whites and white they're absolutely right as the democrats of course i'm sure the 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 the opposition must take power we're going to let in syria is a very helpful tool and if there is a. regime falls we could be into iraq situation where we have sick terry of violence developing we could have attacks on the christian community shia versus sunni and the real fear is that syria could just blow up with a terrible terrible civil war we've got to prevent that happening any way you can bet if you have. internal dialogue in syria. still to come in the program this hour universal version peace activists in israel fear a new conflict with lebanon saying the government wants to divert attention from its own blunders. story still to come but

the decision to cut america's debt rating sprawled on the world markets would lead him to trillions worth of so. the move led to a drop in the shares and started to cause itself one of those as well to buy freshly done greeted u.s. treasury bonds even when it was what great the rating agencies deserve themselves well he's lord lister records. breaking news the united states has just lost its top notch triple a credit rating from it with a downgrade heard around the world in a strong reaction to the rating downgrade it's on a hostile only 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 rein it in a tea party downgrade a lot of it has to do with the failure of the president and the stage i think this is a tea party from a greater in chief says the u.s. is becoming a bit more unpredictable and for. first proposed to grow through the government
2:12 pm
still work response from the downgrade or that helped ratchet up at 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 sun 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 raided 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 many of the big bankruptcies they gave are investment. greetings to remember bear stearns writes of the very g. they gave a aaa rating to tell almost the day progress 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 they could like i'm writing
2:14 pm
a big go at berkshire but mr buffett also pointed out the market requires it because these ratings agencies have 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 view about what those rules and up looking like sort of it would surprise me if they were trying to curry favor with certain politicians in fact they 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 that in part because they 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
