time thinking about how i would change the situation, and i came to the conclusion i would achieve the most if i worked as a journalist. >> the kgb are amazingly restrained today. there are too many journalists. still, at least seven people were arrested on the fringes of the demonstration. in other cities when no reporters were present, many arrests were believed to be made. we provide some of their programming. many of you will remember this young girl from years back, from the movie "slum dog millionaire ." she is on the brink of becoming a teenager. little is left from the glory almost three years ago. she and her family still live in the slums of mumbai, and she still dreams of becoming a true hollywood star.
