people have paid a high price to leave in a new country but despite all the sacrifices the shadow of the old regime still looms large during mubarak thirty years of mubarak's rule to meet a number of people try them under military tribunals where one to two thousand now you know within about ten months or eleven miles we have twelve thousand which is of course a humongous number for a country ruled by the military the supreme council of the armed forces or cash that's no surprise but surprisingly enough those discounts took over from who'd previously run the country are not themselves before military tribunals nor for. suspected killer. thought. to be simply a court system. or very people there may be. medical records this is a. this is illegal hasty with no proper investigation usually

with no lawyer and behind closed doors and with no right of appeal human rights activists complain military trials provide no justice and violate human rights you know you have a nineteen year old getting a twenty five year old son to your centers because he had a box amount of cocktails and people who are found guilty of killing somebody by brutally beating him up and torturing him until he died these are getting seven years in jail so i mean it there obviously there's something wrong with this picture a lot of these people are trying for absolutely no reason i mean some more just just being in the wrong place at the wrong time is enough to get you in trouble that's exactly what matters is his case september the time these really embassy in cairo the place. the young screenplay writer was present and clashes between the army and demonstrators and began. in helping the injured arrested he was brought to

military barracks after summary trial which lasted just twenty minutes he was taken straight to prison to serve almost four months for terrorism he says the military dishes out a very rough justice. emerge in a seventy year old who's been in the army for at least thirty years it must be hard for him to take off his uniform and this lifestyle and this was the only way they know how to deal with problems. for several days what did know her son's whereabouts where the wound was and when his sister came to me and said i have to talk to you i knew it was about him hoping for the best i prepared myself for the worst. a month after ahmed was released he now faces yet another trial from the same incident at these really embassy. they go is to intimidate people the message is clear if you go to tory you'll be arrested and it makes us even stronger how is

it they don't understand the matter is no work you know a book he wants to title you must shut up he explains if people didn't give up after been beaten and humiliated they'll never give up until their voices a herald. the citadel in cairo egypt a medieval symbol of power and strength it was fortified centuries ago to protect the region from his enemies at that time crusades and crusaders today egypt's rulers are doing the same striving to defend themselves and to keep power with thousands in jails and dozens killed the concern here is that they may have been working too hard. or if an ocean r.t.e. cairo. and i were in syria violence escalating was more than one hundred reportedly killed on friday political leaders of the uprising say they expect official recognition from some arab league states later this weekend and have been fighting

for the flashpoint city of homs the country's second largest residential area aleppo suffers twin car bombings that claim at least twenty five lives responsibility it was initially claimed by a senior member of the armed opposition but that was later denied by the free syrian army is chief was no un mandate to intervene in the crisis you know the states is now said to be gathering a coalition of countries willing to prop up the opposition and pile more pressure on the mascot's but some activists say intervention will be a costly mistake. in syria i think it is a matter of there are some very legitimate interest in the country of people who would like to be able to participate more in their government and i think the government has made some effort to respond they think it needs to make more of an effort but i don't think that comes through foreign intervention it comes through indigenous processes of the people in the country if you look at any foreign intervention over the last several years you see that after the foreign intervention many more people died then could have possibly died through any type

of indigenous process even one involving violence and i think that moscow and some of its allies on this matter are very wise in seen the pitfalls of foreign intervention and there is a u.n. charter makes it very clear the use of force should only be the last possible means of trying to deal with the conflict that was courtesy of our activist an international human rights lawyer and talking to us from geneva. and coming your way in the program testing the slow russia's ski resort of sochi begins its first rehearsal for the winter olympic games by staging a competition for the world's and perhaps it's. also extreme canine agility meet the family photo excels at and the art of the extreme sports are cool and become an online celebrity because

a few death defying feats. the greek cabinet has unanimously approved a new set of desperate measures demanded by the e.u. and i.m.f. meanwhile a two day strike in response to the harshest aryeh measures continues throughout the country passing the path was crucial to satisfy international creditors to get a second much needed one hundred thirty billion euro package to bolster countries crippled economy draft bill now has to go through the greek parliament and european finance ministers agreement came after three years and prolonged cabinet debate which and it's with six ministers quitting their jobs meanwhile on friday anger over the plan spilled over into the streets of athens where police used tear gas on protesters filled her with rocks and fire bombs in reply a financial journalist domestic in phoenix says the action taken by greece and your ship has nothing to do with the people's wealth. the government so do what's in the people's best interests it's just doing what's in its own interests and the people

don't trust the government the government had an option they could have just said no we're not going to accept these measures and will go to default and by the way there's no reason that a default has to equal an exit from the euro zone i don't see that that connection other people have made that point and that's used to to intimidate the population in greece to scare them to say well if you don't accept these measures that are going to default i'm going to be one of the chaos and one of the drachma hyperinflation disaster and you know these are scare tactics because the people that are in power are bent benefit from a system where they can cooperate with the euro kratz in brussels i don't believe anyone within their right mind would think that they'd be able to to to pay those debts back clearly there's an interest for the banks that are on the hook the european central bank is obviously bought a lot of that debt so they stand to lose but at the same time if they just keep rolling it over they're going to lose anyway i think part of this is just a function of the of the system and people just trying to you hear that expression all the time kick the can count down the road but that's something that people do

all the time in their daily lives and they certainly do it in politics they just they don't want to build a problem now and they just would rather push it along and i think in many many cases that explains a lot of what you see here. the ratings agency standard and poor's has poured more fuel on the fire of european debt by downgrading virtually all of italy's top bags thirty four out of thirty seven institutions have been hit including massive banks such as you know credit and in tennis and power it's another blow after the agency caught only solvent rating last month by two notches in a mass downgrade of nine euro zone countries standard and poor's explained the move saying with italy's economy heading into recession the banks may become unable to pay off their wholesale debts. later today our financial expert max geyser gives us his inimitable take on the latest business scandals. we just where we want to go. well max this first headline is the theme of the show ok it's all who walk by are

have the team necessary to put together a serious campaign. so you're just talking about how he's running not actually his policies or whether or not he'd be good for the country well if he could doesn't have the team in the money to get his message out nobody's going to hear whether or not you think ron paul actually has a chance to become the next u.s. president the bottom line is if elected he certainly would shake things up and that seems to be something everyone is looking for i. have a serious for that seems to defy gravity and some of the rules of physics appeals to man and to what get adrenaline junkies and now a four legged was well a dog in western ukraine has become an internet sensation over its passion for an active lifestyle. has a story. the two thousand and one french movie they came across she launched a new world wide grace the park or thousands of print using asked worldwide took to
