thanks for joining us deposed president hosni mubarak and his former interior minister will say is the judgment of an egypt of nutrition court side by side a judge has ordered that trials to be merged into one monday's hearing was cut short of mubarak so the when his sons asked for more time to review evidence they'll return to september the fate of barak weldon to cool down his sig bed is on trial for corruption and the killing of protesters in febreze uprising and there have been clashes between. supporters outside of those who still support the former president say the trial is nothing will in their rooms to humiliate him but is also on the boycott on doubt even those on the of square during the uprising saying the current military rule is committing the same crimes. to young to bold yet old enough to die for his country this boy was just seventeen when a different police killed him on that tougher square last winter today he's portrayed adorns one of thoroughfares there's even a talk of naming

a street in his name what makes someone a more pure and. well in the age of right now if the date of death of those gunned down prior to mubarak's resignation celebrated its patriots who lives with a brighter future of their country those killed after his ousting sometimes are pretty serious criminals to undermine their country's democratic strides and it doesn't matter that they share the same goals and they just this is about power and no of the other way around this young man also counted himself among the children of the revolution but his older brother he celebrated mubarak's departure from power or to take the need and to deploy. three months later he was killed in what his brother believes was a government sanctioned shoot out there and is going to. shoot my brother dead one through his. and it came out on the other side i saw it if 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 loss in stocks they're increasingly worried that the new military authorities may persecute them a studs became an o. encompassing term for those who don't appreciate the ruling military clique and as . we expected the army to intervene to protect people just don't mind answering but instead they started to kill people. 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 like him from mass gatherings the cradle of the egyptian revolution is now cordoned off by riot police those protesting the use 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 war so that's really president mubarak's regime individually of course there are thousands of cases that have been put. have been arrested and put on child 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 these activists believes he got off lightly from these encounter with 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 clear that there is very little difference between the people who are ruling the snow. and that many of the crimes

the holstein 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 body is still being spilled on the streets of cairo it's not a boycott artsy it's empty. on conflict in levy's gathering pace as rebels are getting closer and closer to the capital tripoli reports suggest they have taken control of parts of the strategic city of zawiya just fifty kilometers west of conduct a stronghold and it's the close as the frontline has come to place as opposition sources were pushed out of the city notch meanwhile libya's interior minister reported that left the country and travel to cairo using a private jet he had none of his family members have entered egypt under a tourist visa or without trying life by a former u.s.

diplomat in the good job ram on the ground thank you very much indeed for your time so the latest news departure that senior minister and that's there on the bike what does it mean for the qaddafi regime. what can you doing good for the regime although i remind you he says he and a fair and we know there are a turkish research although we haven't seen pictures of him or his kids on camels in front of the pyramids eating ice cream it seems like he really has defected and if so it being the top cop the senior interior minister it is a real blow to the regime. yeah and right back in libya there have been advances by the rebels right as well as a string of defections by officials does that mean get out his regime is doomed and if so how much longer can he hold out. there have been some of the predictions of years they're going to my they would hesitate to say he's doomed but it is true in

the last couple of weeks there's been some significant advances by the rebels capturing i was there we blocked the road from tunisia they control the hills south of tripoli the job all know. and they control the city of misrata on the east that they really got tripoli surrounded which is of course a real problem for a lot of use forces on the other hand i remind you that the chief rebel commander was killed ten days or so ago and it all started a tribal war among the rebels which could still be rocked. also the rebels are basically still amateurs they aren't really professional soldiers so while the momentum is slowly shifting toward the rebels i don't think this thing is we're yet . right gadhafi has said that he would never surrender his power yet we hear of talks between the rebels and they're as you say quite successful and his aides so has he changed his positional could we perhaps be looking at talks to split the

country. but i think if i were a rebel commander now i would be a fool to engage in serious talks with could offer yours people i mean the as i say the momentum seems to be shifting toward the rubbles on their side so if if there are trucks i think maybe there are sham talks or they're not serious the rebels have no incentive to engage in talks now they do need to drive khadafi either the country anything less than that any solution which could offer you love from the country is in effect a defeat for the robles and for nato all right so from your point of view that has nato intervention been a help or hindrance in the region. in the region you raise a broader question well for sure. the nato intervention saved the lives of thousands of people in benghazi when it first began then there's also no question that there are rebel advances would not have been anywhere near possible with nato

bombing. some of the nato forces have been absolutely essential to the smell theory success so far of the rebels. it's an interesting question for nato and nato are really is kind of stuck now they can't afford to lose it can you imagine the embarrassment to president sarkozy and prime minister cameron even the american president obama if he should survive all this from the mightiest military alliance on the planet so. nato really virtually has to succeed show at just how do you assess the longer term prospects for any kind of solution being reached in the band or do you think that might be another difficult question but a very good one remember in libya because of the nature of the regime is almost no middle class in libya no civil society no real rule of law this is quite unlike the

situations in tunisia and egypt where once the top fellow was thrown out there was at least something to begin building something new and in libya that really isn't the case a loser much greater chance for chaos on the other hand there have been many reports coming out of been ghazi from people who've been talking to the rebel leaders that these are really a very admirable bunch of people who seem really dedicated to the future of a new libya in peace and justice so they get they're getting high marks from the people that are talking to them and getting to know them so perhaps the worst of it might be avoided but it will be an enormous challenge to rebuild the country. no truly tribal war and true to avoid the kind of chaos that might naturally follow or the defeat of gadhafi. john graham former diplomat of the us embassy in libya many thanks indeed sir my pleasure. their decision to count

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 while investors flocked to buy freshly downgraded u.s. treasury bonds leaving many to ask what grade the rating agencies deserve themselves lauren 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 gold 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 reigning it in a tea party downgrade in a lot of it has to do with the failure of the president and i to 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 the conduct of this proposed to some of the other governments that we still work response from the downgrade or that help 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 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.n.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 they've missed many of the big bankruptcies they gave high investment grade. greetings to lehman to bear stearns right to the very end g. they gave a aaa rating to 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 being

judge of paying the bill and they could live around in a big old berkshire 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 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 care a huge deal about what those rules end up looking like saw it would 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 burma or the government ran up that debt 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 a downgrade lauren lyster r.t. washington d.c. . and the john chalmers for studs may have an oily plot holes the coast of scotland which has released more than two hundred tonnes of crude into the north sea set to be if it was full and more than a decade began five days ago. it was only acknowledged by the company two days later and it's now being given it widespread coverage but was virtually ignored by media organizations for several days that's no surprise to adam ramsay manager of their people and planet student organization who believes it's not the first time the government has been complicit in all industry cover ups i think the people who are used to dealing with show wouldn't be surprised at all about the lack of communication it's worth remembering that it was only a few days ago that they admitted after years of lies and cover up their role in

the enormous spills across nigeria this company has never let the truth or in fact people's lives or the environment get in the way of getting the way of their profit margin so so i think we certainly don't know for sure how bad it is but we do know that this is a serious spill we know for certain it is the worst spill in this country in more than a decade i've seen very little coverage of this at all and i'm saddened to say that i'm not at all surprised how little coverage has been of this although as i said it's the biggest in ten years but it's important to remember the u.k. government and the scottish government have both got long histories of being hand in hand and in the pockets of the oil industry in this country and so with the government to the only other potential monitors of this doing everything they can to keep it quiet on the show and show particularly not talking about it it's not surprising that the media covering it again and again not surprising but very sad as you say a major incident really not reported in the u.k. press or is much ado nama ke it will be remembered not only for goals but also for

the brutal not seem to that is the violence which flared out of the stadium this latest innocent incident rather has added to see is it racist and hooligans may spoil the european football championship that ukraine co-host next year as r.t. sexier chesty found out key of interior not as it has deep roots in the country's football funk culture. the beautiful game turned ugly in the second half of genomics the first of several dozen fans brutally attacked as steward he was trying to take down banners supporting world war two insurgent army leaders. and the months which until he says he was simply trying to enforce the law yes. i saw the banners and the fans to remove them this violated the norm that no political agitation can be used at football 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 kicking me 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 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 was nearly killed as well but he is not story about his actions. and criminals is no place for. these banners are being hung by the same people who attacked veterans and. fish here 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 elites. movement 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 the incident with andre. like to ukraine. death to enemies these laws in ukraine but everything to avoid incidents like this one those people are provocateurs. 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 of bettors commemorating the likes of which if still a feature in 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 the final game of the euro two thousand and twelve championship its 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 give could face serious sanctions from the european football governing bodies. reporting from kiev ukraine. are the headlines in less than ten minutes but before that. the president of russia's republic of the fight against terror and the role of sharia law.

well this is a good bit of thank you very much for having us here in chief. thank you for coming . in here illegal armed groups being destroyed the number of attacks on policemen is not decreasing that it seems like terrorist groups are rapidly increasing their numbers by your estimation how many terrorists are active in the north caucasus at the moment. the cokers if. i can't tell you about the entire

caucasus but as far as chechens are concerned there are about sixty to seventy active students in the soonest turns more about the tactics used by these bandits are those who attack your republic based in chechnya or do they travel from one republic to another throughout the whole north caucasus. in middle earth. has proclaimed the caucuses a single emirate so they are popping up all over the region when we defeat them here they appear in english and vice versa. so what drives young men from the caucasus to join armed groups and of. course nic and it is something that no one understands i spoke to a man who was to become a suicide bomber to sacrifice his life and i asked why he wanted to do it he didn't understand me but i told him islam is encouraged in the chechen republic are you not allowed to build mosques or to take the hard are you banned from wearing the hijab or observing the song why do you come out and say i fight in the name of

allah we are all muslims everything we do is for the good of muslim people and religion where i am an abiding muslim myself i live by the laws of islam but what is happening between us he didn't answer me or you most of the people who chose to become suicide bombers are mentally retarded there is usually blind or deaf they find these people completely disconnected from the outside world and use them that's the cause of what is happening in our republic the caucasus russia and all over the world. you've spoken out against negotiating with terrorists or as you put it criminals do you maintain that position to this day put it all to the seriousness that you know sort of longer keep it a little more why negotiate what we have to talk about the russian authorities are doing everything for them to come and live peacefully but we have all the agencies for that and we eagerly welcome them to come and give away their submachine guns give themselves up. and then relevant agencies will deal with them not who should

we negotiate with just imagine negotiating with each and every one if they've killed a huge number of people that is why they are now scared to protect themselves they are now doing everything possible to attract young people so that they ensure their security they know that they have no future for them and if we gave power to them they would not know what to do with this power look it's funny indeed and therefore they had better apologize to the people of the chechen republic and russia and to muslims and when you would forgive them the mission of a lock professional of course is for giving us that we should be forgiving each other and for the sake of people and for the right course and profit you wouldn't make treason yeah you can hear me know why if they understood everything that if a person says that he understood everything i don't think he should be taken to prison actually i'm against people being taken to prison and. well. you're definitely a religious man statesman which means you have. should there be

a borderline between them in a modern society. and that's a big problem with sharia law obliges us to protect the constitution of the russian federation and the constitution of the chechen republic we should be carefully protecting the existing system i mean muslims. how do you think it's possible to foster tolerance religious and ethnic in our society and in our country because according to the latest events we're far away from that is it possible to bring up an ethnically tolerant generation but if they're more of course yes why not how. everything is being done for that or not republic so there is mutual understanding in all respects in terms of religion and ethnic origin one we haven't had a single interethnic clash we live in build our future treating everybody equally but we give ethnic minorities an opportunity to promote their cultural heritage including their language and everything else. you wanted to make chechnya

a destination for tourists where you at right now could you imagine an english couple or a bunch of american kids visiting your republic for vacation but. there are a lot of tourists coming here we have a very unusual place in the d.n.c. district a very beautiful place a lot of people are going there and there will be two tourist resorts there are actors performers officials come. what do you make of the saying keep your friends close and your enemies even closer to your suitcase froggie thought it was in a colorful it's very bad if you have enemies how can i keep him close by or even closer but if you have an enemy you have to deal with him. i don't have anything to offer so i don't know where to keep of the court i have friends not enemies there is no such person who could sit down together with me and say that i am your fellow rams and here's what i don't like you with all respect i think you're just afraid if you look fierce they were both was there one of them i would be happy if they

told me frankly what i did wrong to somebody personally then i would at least have a chance to prove that it's not my fault and that they do not have a moral right to be against me that is why i believe that i have no foes i have friends my dream is to make everybody who has a bad opinion of me learn what kind of person i really am. well a kind of person are you really. here. i'm a very good person in all respects i try to be impartial if i do something wrong i apologize and i don't feel shy about it or if a person lies i can tell him he's lying i lived this life with the awareness that it may ended any moment but what matters most is reputation and dignity to save human face it's let's thank you very much it will thank you.

future flights. are to take to the max pair show. the for. me is he it's. easy to. see.

i guess that says auntie coming to life from moscow to heaven for. the trial of deposed egyptian president hosni mubarak has been at least ten bad. and he's interior minister on such charges of corruption and the not of peaceful protesters but maybe it does have some want to oust him say much chrome as the transition to democracy isn't the way to the. best as world wide variety to buy u.s. government bonds in defiance of a debt down that left markets in shambles raising tough questions over the chance to admit some credit rating agencies. hope for ball much to commemorate not see war criminals shooting attitudes amongst ukraine's self opponents in the near atlanta out organizers but the right.
