a bloody and to george's day of rage against president saakashvili yes heavily armed police put a brutal stops of public dissent. the world's wealthiest nation storm a war of the valid ground to thrash out today's conflicts with your reports from the g eight in france. to us judges are convicted of dishing out dodgy discipline making millions by throwing teenagers into private prisons for only very minor offenses. hot stuff in subzero seas and our latest antarctica word for it would meet the creatures calling the icy ocean home.

you want you not to coming to live from moscow marina joshua welcome to the program at least two dead and dozens hospitalized protesters in georgia have found out the hard way why they shouldn't speak out against their leadership police showed little restraint in a crackdown on crowds who turn out for what's been called georgia's day of rage demanding that president saakashvili resign sarah ferguson gauging the mood in tbilisi for our. well certainly here this morning after the scenes of violence that we saw break out last night as the police violently dispersed that cloud of protesters extremely quick for the police to break up that crowd we saw a lot of arrests being made even after the crowd. from the main area there was

still pulling people out pleading for the start of the buildings and hang fast for a lot of all people carrying some quite significant injuries that we saw say really very shocking indeed we can show you a bit more now from these events because we were there at the same as the violence some photos. it was held by the opposition is the day that we did turn into which is teacher instead as the protests and ousting president's package really ended in violence and bloodshed a huge pools of riot police moved in on the crowd just minutes after midnight going to have his day of independence. thankfully seems to be i was right that every right was a crime that happened to america and the not even we got kelly's call and that in the back here we got one on the other side then a spate of the random. as the police closed in water cannons were fired into the crowd rubber bullets and gas followed seriously injuring both demonstrators and

journalists a police officer was killed when he was run over by a car and a protester dies in front of the parliament building the scenes of violence all the more shocking given that many of those involved were of an older generation. we were standing peacefully when riot police came to the ground and started beating me my relatives also suffered they smashed one of my friend's face and left another one unable to stand. you can see from my face the kind of force they used and i think god i'm even alive these people don't value human life has been dubbed the silver revolution due to the older crowd they turned out demonstrating against pensions and rising food prices for five days they held digital outside the main t.v. golding in tbilisi before taking their protest to the main parliament. higher

initial numbers of protest this is weekend of this piece among the opposition parties and. it is they will lead through the streets on wednesday the crowds once again turned out. to use force. or were going through touche the well and. demonstrate his were vastly outnumbered and witnesses to the navy then the two thousand and seven protests and which six hundred were injured say that this time around police presence was even greater and the falls they used just as severe questions are already being asked about whether the scale of force used was justifiable many were arrested and many more injured they did real in the streets the remnants of the violent clash. they set up their main fan from which the leader of the opposition gave their speaking up at another

thing earlier on just before the fighting broke out was saying she would maybe be holding negotiations that didn't happen and they wanted out instead the prize at the ending how it started and things the violent surf party. the van so we're going to echo a previous brutal crackdown by georgian police four years ago tear gas and water can a whirl some things to disperse thousands of demonstrators who turn against his regime injuring six hundred people are says about syrians are always there and recalls the chaotic and terrifying scenes. and i remember that we along with many other journalists were just outside the parliament building and then the next thing we know there were tear gas grenades flying everywhere immediately we couldn't see anything couldn't really draining it was chaos and people running in all kinds of directions being met by riot police from tree started hammering down on them with

their butt taunts just kicking people to the ground beating them on their hands as mass chaos everywhere it was people blocking and they couldn't see anything because the tear gas was everywhere there were dozens of ambulances immediately on the scene just tearing the people away all of those that were injured in the first wave the tear gas chalk and then later our producer got hit in the head with a rubber bullet our jammer crew also got struck by some of those are our goals it was our chaos and madness but the most frightening thing about it perhaps was the fact that it was literally so unexpected the protest had been going on for days and nobody expected it to turn this while and this suddenly. i know right now at archie dot com we've got news videos and now it's just as police round on demonstrators demanding president saakashvili stressing nation there's always archie's twitter stream and facebook which will keep you updated as

events unfold. it. is. a paradise for the french media and a historic world war two sides will today see an invasion of the g. eight machine the latest someone gets going and shake normandy resort to vail short until we can cross a live to our correspondent and he's in our way who can tell us what lies ahead of the g. eight leaders will have plenty to discuss in the coming days so are we to expect any crucial decisions or statements. as

a form of the g eight of course has very little time to discuss some of the most pressing issues and usually they do make some kind of statement and that most certainly will happen but there has been criticism that really they meet together and that the g eight doesn't actually take any big steps that that's now the job of the g. twenty nevertheless like you said they will be covering many issues this year specifically a lot is happening a lot of events have taken place this year most certainly libya is going to be on the table but those working sessions will begin later today the summit the first half of it at least has been allocated for leaders to meet on the sidelines face to face president is rated as going to sit down with barack obama there of course they will speak about libya the west and russia very different approaches on that situation and interfering in sovereign nations. in sovereign nations business but they're also going to be speaking about missile defense russia still has concerns cosigning of the strategic arms reduction treaty that america is not as transparent

as it could be when it comes to its missile defense plans and we are expecting some kind of joint statement from barack obama and so we can it's very difficult that if there's enough times in the three hundred it will also sit down with david cameron and he certainly will be meeting with host and french president nicolas sarkozy there libya is in that for going to be spoken about france was the first country to get involved in the war torn country and we've been analyzing in fact as france is the host of this year's g. eight about how its position on the world stage has been changing and it's now playing a much bigger role. the g eight has gone full circle the last time the summit was held in france eight years ago the agenda looked almost the same. war the economy and somewhere in the middle ages africa on the table then iraq and boosting the euro now it's libya and saving the euro. two thousand and three france had

a very different stance on global politics then it was staunchly opposed to the u.s. invasion of iraq french fries quickly became freedom fries after france u.s. relations soured despite summit smiles but with a new french president came a new friend circles he has rejected entirely the path of goody a friend playing a constructive role in a multi multi-polar world and has aligned himself with the single superpower the united states nowadays france is barking much louder with more soldiers involved in foreign military conflicts of brawn then ever before it's a globalist more than color it's not just the friends it's the whole. global plan to change governments as they want. france played a central role in ivory coast's bloody presidential stalemate and is considered the

unspoken leader of the intervention in libya so who is he what it is to participate and to be one of the first. ruler western ruler to to go there and just for his political agenda critics say this new global policy was meant to wean over french food hers but hasn't worked france is kind of small united states with many interventions that are very costly and very little thinking about the relationship between rhetoric and the costs and costs is the killer european countries are facing more and more protest over huge spending cuts in an attempt to lower deficits and save a drowning euro the sex scandal involving i.m.f. head dumb and the extras come on might have knocked out a top contender competing against sarkozy for the presidency but experts say d.s.

k. was toppled at the wrong time when still worries about whether the euro will still be the currency of all these european countries in the next twelve to twenty four months and at the same time spending hundreds of millions forcing their way into the libya conflict they don't see eye to eye but they going to try to regroup around. the idea that it's a humanitarian intervention and the un resolution a resolution that china and russia didn't veto their claim has been manipulated to suit western interests what happens there will be an appearance of agreement but if there is an appearance of agreement in my mind it will only be an appearance appearance at the g eight is hard not to notice the venue is. usually exclusive resort town where you can't hear protest over the euro and it's easy to forget bombs are falling in libya this year france's beautiful normandy was chosen to

house leaders as they sit down to debate some of the world's ugliest problems and once again are faced with the question of whether the g eight can regroup on splitting issues and he's now a r t v fronts. well to give us more analysis ahead of the summit is james dance london based writer and middle east politics and security issues james thank you very much for being with us on the program first off french president nicolas sarkozy who's hosting the summit is facing flak at home and abroad for over what's being seen as colonial grandstanding in north africa and the question is will he use the g eight to rally support for the upcoming presidential election. well certainly i think you will do him no harm to be seen as the sort of king of mount statesman when he's hosting the g eight and i think it will be very interesting to see exactly what kind of memoranda come out from it you have to bear in mind most of the work around the g. eight occurs before the actual summit itself it will be of course underground bilateral diplomacy that's unexpected the most agreements will already have been

made and i think there are lots of very positive announcements to come out of it he's a v a to tunisia and egypt and supports the g eight and its other institutions that it supports whether the i.m.f. or the world bank will give to these countries in the form of debt relief and loans and what have you so i think that will be the major sort of positives come from an issues like libya where it's huge disagreement amongst the countries concerned will be rather more confined to the corridors and sort of the more sort of side of them so be interesting to see how that comes out of all of returning to libya a little later in the interview but before that i like to ask you what it stands you western g. eight members use the sun it's as a platform for solving their own problems. well as i say i mean most of what happens before but i think there's a lot of issues clearly work which require multilateral cooperation between the powers whether it's dealing with the world economy or the wars the world face and it's it's no surprise that the g. eight faces very similar issues each time it meets because those are the issues

that affect the world today i think it's interesting that sarkozy is treating the conference slightly differently this year with inviting eric schmidt from google and from facebook to come and address the world leaders it shows you that there's room for sort of certain degrees of innovation here but ultimately because principals of what the g eight will deal with remain the same and i think we should expect some major announcements to come from it so badly be in our so do you see the g eight nations involved in a nose military action immediately saying is there a strategy there after weeks of stalemate. well i think it's very important that the mission drift that's occurred in libya the g eight has used the time to sort of bring back together the international partners to actually bear in mind ok the chinese and the russians were necessarily in favor of the intervention but they didn't veto it or vote against it at the u.n. so in a sense we've got a time to renew the mandate that we've very clear as to whether we're talking about

regime change or whether they need to go back to the u.n. to get a mandate for that and there's been a sort of steady creep as the civil war has become consolidated in the country and there's talk in the last few days of the british and the french are sending in attack helicopters which will represent another escalation of the conflict somewhat so i think this is a huge opportunity for those who are the main proponents of the intervention british the french and the americans to really sort of test the water on the other alliance and see how the germans the chinese and the russians in particular feel about the current state of affairs and what happened next so it's a very important meeting because of the libya but i say again that will probably be confined more to the margins of the summit rather than the sort of headlines itself . but james the summit is taking place against a backdrop of severe financial crisis both in the states and in europe but why is my always found for expensive foreign military campaigns. well there mind this is a campaign that's not being fought on real politic but rather liberal interventionism

and the responsibility to protect in particular it will sarkozy be known as the man who saved tens of thousands of civilians in garcia will he be known as the man who brought france to economic ruin never ending war in libya it is true that it's a very expensive conflict to the time of global austerity and i think people certainly in britain are very sensitive to the fact that each time a typhoon flies around seventy thousand pounds that. the missiles that were slamming into libya and russian made tanks are costing us almost a million time so the war on the economics of war i think are certainly more important than ever however it's very difficult to put a value on essentially the protection of human life which is the argument that leaders in washington london and paris would make however at some point you've got to really look back and say what is it then because ultimately it would seem present that we're heading towards a dynamic a bit like what happened in one thousand nine hundred million forseen at the time in which a kurdish safe haven was created by western power in the north and that could

happen today in the east of libya and certainly areas around misrata where you have sort of coalition protected enclaves in libya that remain there for potentially decades. all right james thanks very much indeed for sharing your thoughts with us here in the program james dean so a london based middle east politics and security issues. was well over two million people in jail the u.s. has the highest prison population and the world but some are seeing it inside of a cell because dodgy judges aren't getting paid back from the private sector i just got and she can report on those dishing out justice or feet. two pennsylvania judges have made a killing out of juvenile prisons mark ciavarella and michael conahan were convicted of receiving kickbacks for more than two million dollars from the developers of several private detention centers but the real crime according to

parents is that these judges then sent more than five thousand children to those very facilities for crimes as small as finding on a school bus or posting a parody of their teacher on the web my. kid that. my son. was a size that i know sandy fonzo seventeen year old son edward was a body student and sportsman when he was arrested at an under-age party judge ciavarella locked him out for six months shortly after he got out edward committed suicide he never looked at you know the whole picture of the kids like i said he wind them up one by one and send them away she. sent them to places that you know god knows what went on and then he throws them back and and how does a kid do you you know my son just never recover from it eric so fast he was twelve

when judge ciavarella sent him to jail for two years for scratching his mom's car while joy writing for this young man was a teenager was locked up for months for throwing a piece of steak it is mom's boyfriend so i really can't believe that being accused of something like the real story was all that was needed to be put away the case of the true pennsylvania judges in bed with local private prisons could be just the tip of the iceberg a recent report revealed america's largest prison corporations poor hundreds of thousands into the campaigns of governors state legislators and judges in the hope of advancing their agenda and it seems to be working the number. private prisons in the u.s. is growing rapidly oh their money every penny they get is a taxpayer dollar that they get from the government and so what they do is they get bigger but money from the government the house prisoners only tour around in spirit and spend some of that money by giving it back to the politicians who push the was

and the policies that we deploy more people being incarcerated more people being right prisons so it's almost a money wandering of tax dollars they're making contributions to judges a lecture on politics it's sort of like a closed circuit you're making contributions to people who are making the laws and then you're making contributions and who are forcing the law with the numbers of prisons outgoes the number of prisoners the u.s. has around two point three million people behind bars more than any other nation you've seen prison populations pretty consistently over the last three decades move up a couple percent a year and you know unfortunate as a citizen that that's not the most exciting statistic however when you look at it from a business model perspective for the private operators it's clearly good news the good news for the prison business turned into a nightmare for thousands of under-age victims of the two judges in pennsylvania

there is an incentive in private industry obviously to make money that's where private industry is for so there's an incentive to have more prisoners and incentive to keep those prisoners incarcerated for a longer period of time there's really no incentive for rehabilitation incentives are reversed this so-called cash for kids case seen as something you know just reverse the incentives to meet and raise the question with judges actually interested in sending people away for a longer term thing to keeping their benefactress private prisons for what justice can. report are. all it takes a certain kind of stamina to plunge into an icy ocean but it's all in a day's work for the determined divers tucked into his latest report from the south pole showing thomas scores keeping their cool in the name of signs.

the backwards plunge into frigid antarctic waters certainly is not for the timid but this crew is making vis dive a regular experience all in the name of science. the main purpose of our trip to antarctica is to establish a foundation for monitoring different species living on the bottom of the ocean we are studying the distribution of animals that live there and we are studying their nature each day during the short summer season this crew makes multiple trips out to sea where they get a firsthand look at what's below the surface. in this case one in the same biological community scritches from a depth of five so almost fifty meters there are certain variations but mostly the picture is the same it's impossible to say anything now it's too early to draw any conclusions we've got too little information just one section of you working out of the cars the waters of antarctica will not only help scientists identify the types of animals living here but by coming back over time they can study subtle changes

in the environment and how the animals are affected by those changes in three to five years we will repeat it's a collection and we can establish whether there have been any changes some animals might have gone and others may have replaced them we can establish why maybe there are some climatic changes that lead to changes among the populations so it'll indicate whether it's got colder or warmer here what they come up with can at times seem a bit questionable if not simply messy while other times they're catch is quite clear but in all cases important to their research so what is logged in ships to russia what is then catalog and still sometimes new to. muscles my colleagues are doing the same we're always finding new unknown species proving that there is still much more work to be done in one of the world's coldest ecosystems. chon time is fourteen other brings us up to date here on our to

remember and there's our website for everything else you need to know and let's now take a look at what's happening in the world of business. hi there and welcome to business with me as well bosses have been in brussels lobbying the european parliament over the south stream pipeline project they're worried about a new e.u. rules which force a split between the ownership of pipelines and the gas flowing through them something gazprom is not happy about i'm joined now by vladimir rajan all see from north capital. thank you for joining us let him have now what are the legal obstacles that are holding this project back. well basically there are several projects including. which potential blear held back the project yourself dream. and also there was several complications like the negotiations with

alternatives like north stream there were a lot of uncertainties included in our from a purely environmental side they waited for our final approvals for i'll leave the typewriters underneath and the. black sea so i think could be a main complication. calls. so much by the financial or the negotiating side. but from the environmental and circumstantial side and why is it so important for south stream to get the status of trans european gas route. i think yes this is so with their fifty or three billion cubic meter of capacity is this is considered to be zero rather large project. it's been a long awaited because it's going to be of rummy fly two streams one to the

southern europe other bits of the central europe two or three of them but definitely it will add substantially to the capacity of the. western europe new york the west european countries and until recently it was not pure understanding who all the projects the balls all there were but that we stood for shares of each party until the visible from russian prime minister putin to brussels and speak with mr burroughs up in terms of who's going up all the pipelines who's going to hold the generating capacity while the building layer will be asleep is to the russian to russian government to companies and western european system that the pipelines the distribution network has to be somehow be owned by the western countries right now i think this is no longer a major be sure. both bodies with the help in the cute feeling that the project

needs to go ahead and therefore and i think because this is the main feature right now that everybody needs to go ahead. absolutely look i think we all agree with that what is the likelihood of south stream being exempted from the rules of the senate energy package given that new kind of already has an exemption. here. in terms of example i think. there's a very much related to the former visit mentioned by me a visit of the prime minister to brussels and i think as soon as all the parties will feel comfortable about this project the exemption be sure will go very smoothly. and now i guess from the alexy millicent sound stream won't bring any new capacity to the market so it's just a new way of pumping gas into an already which is already destined to the european

market so really what is the point of it. the new you mean the european gas which is already present in the market yes what is the real point of the south stream trying to. it. yeah ok yes definitely doesn't i'll turn it to friday it's like a north south street as they mention in the book also competing right now the main issue is just to avoid any disruptions which we experience in the past due to fear . you know claire shows he was rather political but. west european consumer if he didn't actually pay much attention to who was there or party to blame they need reliability of their for their alternative routes and see. if the really essential to ensure the stability of deliveries.
