america's media as judge and jury. even. egypt said demonstration. of the. angry and slow reforms and corruption. reports widespread deaths and devastation from lost in turkmenistan. government discusses on this incident. in the heart of the russian capital t b. proved innocence in court can pale into

insignificance in america especially when a guilty verdict is already at large in the media single mother casey anthony was cleared of murdering her two year old daughter this week but it's done nothing to sway public opinion that's been spurred on by t.v. and newspapers necessary truckin reports. innocent until proven guilty it's a whole mark principle of the american justice system legally after shoved aside from the vigor of some of the arrests young african black and brown subjects being sat down in the street and an obsessive kind of way fifty shots sixty sets laying on our stomach in our back as we run or as we watch or flee to breeding suspects into offenses in cases of entrapment entrapment is not legal entrapment is getting someone to do something that they would normally do to perp walks that parade suspects in handcuffs for the world to see. to

a media frenzy devouring some cases and not others i finally did before that i see it as guilty until proven guilty in these cases government is changing the laws sam and is a former white collar convict who knows the criminal justice system discrepancies inside and out i read while on the road for two years covering up my crimes. when i decided to cooperate with the feds it took the feds two more years. now a teacher he says media coverage also affects the jury pool they see the image of a guy in handcuffs and see an image of a person being arrested they see the image of a person doing the perp walk and they're affected just like everybody else. so are you presumed guilty from the get go and how much of a role does the media play if you're accused of a famous crime it's going to be in huge headlines on page one when you're

exonerated it's on page twenty seven below the fold two column inches and your neighbors somehow didn't manage to catch it that day so everyone still thinks you're a child molester not guilty take the not guilty verdict in the casey anthony murder case involving her two year old daughter the court of public opinion remains split from the court of justice all thanks to nonstop media coverage of the case for the past three years she. is crazy and i think it's great the average family did it but from the media assume she was going to go to in the case of former i.m.f. head dominique strauss kahn the media satisfied their gluttonous taste with extreme passion only for the case to crumble i think there should be a. media outlets are required to play your exoneration up as big and as long as your accusation this is rarely the case as dubious practices in the criminal justice system spread so does the finger pointing and questioning the future of human rights in the us where as we go in as americans and since the one news oh and

i'm like oh. this is getting now going this is really good now glee the principles that the us once prided itself in our line of fire suspects are having to fight their battles publicly the minute they are arrested in attempts to prove their innocence underlining that the discrepancies in the u.s. criminal justice system are alive and kicking and since it turned out our duty in iraq. the march towards a reborn egypt has slowed to cruel now the interim leaders have been sent the strongest message yet but they're not doing enough with the tens of thousands turning out the biggest protests in months demonstrates is filtered square in cairo and gathered in other cities angry that the government was dragging its heels on forms demanded and they toppled president mubarak gyptian also frustrated that the sluggish pace of course accusing senior officials and police officers who are accused of brutality and robberies are rising for them.

international relations professor mark almond. in the mail or not troubling to change. the expectations that the fall of mubarak would be followed by a change of regime hasn't really come about with barak and his family and closest cronies have been imprisoned or accused or will go on trial next month of all sorts of crimes against the people against the interests of country but of course field marshal tantawi and the other members of the military ruling council for his appointees to a great extent across egypt people they will see that their local boss the local head of the biggest ration has changed so the sense that the old regime was decapitated but minus mubarak it's still in power the revolution comes about because people are very discontented have reasons for profound economic discontent but it the process the revolution causes so much disruption that we see tourists

stay away from egypt that kills a lot of business we see people worried about investing there because they wonder who's going. be in power in a few months time so ironically one of the big reasons for the revolution people's economic discontent social discontent irritation at unemployment and so on actually the process of getting rid of a barak has made in the short term the economy worse and i do think really there's an easy answer to egypt's economic problems because global oil prices global food prices and so on are rising and egypt is essentially a importer. but in a few minutes george's cloak and dagger conundrum. of spies of every turn and now targeting to talk with us. we ask whether the sniper is really snooping. around in it to win it india's enterprising youth turning small businesses into big profits. the former editor of britain's best selling

newspaper has been released on bail after being arrested on charges of phone hacking and he calls the news of the world tabloid but it allegedly intercepted phone calls from murder victims and dead soldiers families later went on to become the prime minister's media. denies knowledge on the hacking during his time as editor two other people including newspapers former royal correspondent arrested prime minister cameron is promising to inquiries into the mix and practices. one hundred sixty eight year old musicals is being closed by its media. murdoch its last edition will be on sunday a public outrage against the paper's actions it got to this week that journalists may have access to the policeman missing teenager down the who is later found the radio host john gaunt used to work for the news of the world system says britain's

media is to tie did the political elite. many of us were calling for a full public inquiry led by a judge and cameron has been dragged through this position he's now willing to let it happen she extremely embarrassing for him he's part of what's called the chipping condom set which is a rural part of britain he lives down there at the weekend rebecca brooks lives down there certain columnist lived down there and the whole section is gonna make socially that set was a different set when labor in power would try but all of it is true cosy and too comfortable. if you don't have a real democracy you have to have a separation between the press surely and indeed the political establishment and the government of the day you also need to have separation between the judiciary and those two areas in britain and the united kingdom they've become too close over the last thirteen or fourteen years and i believe that last may not ordinary people in britain their views have not really been represented either in the newspapers or

in the political arena that's bad for democracy so david cameron should start investigating himself as far as i'm concerned i want would your employer a man who's already had to resign over phone hacking allegations why would you take him to the heart of government where he could have access to top secret dossier as an information it's a sorry sorry day let me tell you not just for the british press but for british democracy two hundred people may have been killed in a series of explosions that shook the turkmenistan city of i wouldn't make a media sources report the blasts happened i mean the government continues to claim it was due to firework materials contacted the editor of human rights website in turkmenistan and gives more details. the race started with a blast that was followed by a series of explosions panic spread among people immediately because people didn't know what was going on the government's reaction came too late only eight hours

after the explosion of the first military and emergency vehicle start coming to abu down from the capital we know the blast occurred to ammunition the fire hasn't been extinguished and there's one more depor which can potentially blow up. the fischel say the explosions were caused by fireworks materials but there's enough evidence to prove it was ammunition around two hundred people are believed to have died half of them are soldiers others are civilians many of them are children it's difficult to say how many people have been injured how many apartment buildings or schools and shops lie in ruins and there are cases of looting. all the corner calls of turkmenistan websites also reports of a media blackout the country's state channel is showing entertainment programs instead of news bulletins meanwhile police are being ordered to detain anyone who tries to take pictures or film phone footage of back to their. website tells of crowds of children wandering the streets and parents of any there can't contact

their highnesses friends because of disruptions to telephone lines. if georgia's authorities are to be believed there are secret agents working around every corner just days after jailing people for espionage for russia group of high profile photographers i think that by special services they're accused of spying for a foreign state it's not clear which one party's cutting those into what's behind george's suspicions. and it's been that i still spy with my little lie george is continuing is for of encounter espionage campaign and this time around the people in the spotlight are those who usually stay behind the scenes for photo journalists have been detained including the president's personal photographer and employees of the associated press and the european press agency the a.p. photographer was later released without charge but the other three remain in

custody. either misapply but i have met with my client he's got injuries to his face at the moment he still hasn't been charged with anything and we waiting on the prosecutors to file the case and to question and formally charge my client. so for a georgian authorities haven't specified exactly who they believe these journalists were spying for their previous spying allegations however have mostly been aimed at russia for soccer shruti writes novels the continuation of war and the russian hysteria this is the main basis for these donors the poles and men obviously where is the line he should care a power because insight into the second player which we were and into solving certain he's going to own his car and got off to where the connection for a number of the continent is why georgia so-called democratic country to live. in

the power and you always mention a bunch of. dependents of georgia and he got no position but he's probably against. russian agents or since. the recent hysteria began with yet another alleged spy story last year thirteen people were detained and accused of being spies on russia's payroll earlier this week nine of them were found guilty and sentenced to. between eleven and fourteen years behind bars but what lies behind this frenzied espionage clampdown. the judges are so quick to stick a spy label on to anyone i guess is just a level of democracy and that has been noticed not just by russia but by various key international organizations like the un. even so it seems international disbelief and numerous arrests and convictions are not enough to put the paranoia

of georgian officials to rest georgia's interior minister claims that there are more alleged spies out there and that he knows exactly who they are where they are and what they're doing who while official the b.b.c. hails these efforts and many seem to be of the opinion that it's just plain wishful thinking. catherine as are all right. well still to come on the program join the law and intimate. more often to women. bride to be. high profile sex scandals dominating front pages here in new york best to attention. and in russia crime so it's been ages. from the city to discover how to succeed in the middle of nowhere. with a population of more than

a billion and a growing economy the opportunities for india's enterprising entrepreneurs and its young people seizing the initiative by turning their passions into profits. reports they've got an eye on the culture as much as capitalism. downstairs in a dusty basement in delhi's okla neighborhood you'll find twenty six year old pitbull kamar this is one of several of his manufacturing sites it's small and bleak but it's one of the offices kamar uses to make sporting equipment including tents he's also working to mastermind a sports curriculum for hundreds of schools around india in an attempt to build an empire that he hopes will change the sporting culture in his country forever there was no gap in the market there was you know no or very few quality offerings as far as this sports industry as a whole was concerned so. it's odd if you did the whole industry and right now

he's the number one guy in india doing it in the short time his company has been around its profits have increased two hundred percent per month and he's been named one of the top ten young entrepreneurs in the country it's a massive undertaking especially in a country where studies have always been prioritized over sports but kamar is part of a growing movement of young people who believe that they can change cultural mentalities and implement new ideas in their country we have so many graduates coming over engineering and are going to do it every year even if a small percentage of them decide to go you know i don't condone companies it's going to produce and you're already written isn't that entrepreneurship is becoming a hot field for young people in india while many of the parents of the students on india's college campuses government medicine engineering is stable and prestigious the younger generation is being innovation as key to the future according to the indian government the number of small and medium enterprises in this country is

a lot of coverage in the news do you think it's right for women or men to report any sexual encounters they feel uncomfortable with this week let's talk about that if she feels that she's been violated i think reporting is the best idea and how that plays out you know that that's how that plays out the reporting is should be a woman's instinct at what point does it cross over to consider just for attention . you know it's a it's a tough line between those two people with just two people it's impossible i think women should not get in situations i think there are lots of times that we put ourselves in situations and we have a messenger insiders that says get out of there and sometimes we don't listen to that message one says no or she says no it's a no no is it the same for women as for man one hundred percent so why do we treat it more as a woman session because it happens more often to women. but men have

a pride to go save up to get us older brother. it's about money rich get rich in a poor guess for. so is this just another way for women to get rich. so do you think it's fair that the law generally tends to side with women. and i think it's impossible to really say what's fair what's not at this point again like ari ari the is that what's fair changed so much i think in general my inclination is to say yes it is because women have for the most part of been the victims for so many years that you almost have to side more with them in order to make it equal it's like affirmative action in a way like you have to do something to make things better so that they're not always the victims no matter how you feel about the lines of sexual assault the bottom line is that the rule no means no will always be a good one to follow. and there is more of new york's thoughts online at r.t.

dot com let's see what else is there. israel blocking activists latest efforts to get aid to haiti. some two hundred people from flying and the port southers. spa in space it's a canadian company that is typical camera international space station find out how much it will be able to zoom in on it. city for the country next in russia close up. yes we're traveling two thousand kilometers east of moscow to the cool gun region in southern siberia it's one of the many areas where entire villages of becoming ghost towns with young people move to the city's old generation get fewer in number

but there's one place where the residents have a good reason to stay. i went there to find out what it is. here we are in the village of chester in the core grand region and for the past ten or fifteen years its population has been steadily increasing here's the reason why. it's monday morning and alexander a former prison guard is it work testing the incoming employees for alcohol. if they're over the limit there is a choice to be cited for a no show and lose thirty percent of them on celery or job three kilometers and be docked ten percent of that month's wage because we do the testing every morning regardless of gender or position within the company they could be but they will see it on their paycheck and that's a strong incentive not to drink you know working week. enforce the alcohol abstinence is the idea of this man alexander to call is the director of the still

six plank and likes to extend his influence as far as possible a man of big ideas very epitome of micromanagement for the past fifteen years he's been preaching to his employees how to make good sausages and how to live a good life. while it is a must it's the quality of the product that gave you this job in the first place and it's the quality that determines whether you'll keep it after firing dozens of workers for showing up drunk at work xander started lateran his employees on the harms of all the hall three times a day during the breaks. charlemagne said the drunk for the first time should be beaten with a stick those court for the second time she needs beaten and probably. should be hanged as a former boxer he's not shy about exercising his rule with an r in face and has built his version of the iron curtain around his plan with dozens of video cameras

around the facility employees have no chance to circumvent the law of big brother on the off side and no longer the issue. there is a very rigid and most people find it hard to comply but those who don't play by alexander's rules don't work here. alexander's drive to set the rules of the game doesn't and within his plan the only corporate taxpayer in the village of four thousand people he's taking on a very wide notion of social responsibility using the plants profits he paved only local roads renovated the school and built the church and while he agrees that modesty is a virtue of his fondness of giving guidance and advice is evident wherever he goes in you are doesn't matter that you come from a village what matters most is to get a good education thank god we've got good teachers and behave well in school is that clear. but this approach has divided villagers the majority believe alexander

is a blessing or a minority and primarily doe's who he's fired and not as impressed. as the old saying goes one man's meat is another man's poison not everybody in this village appreciates alexander philosophy and he's tenacity in spreading it around some people call him a control freak others resort to more agricultural language his opponents also include some local officials who believe that alexander has too much power that infringes on their own authority bill xander accuses them of not doing enough for the people when i ask him whether he'd like to run for office he's a response was a resounding no but you're blessed i think the purpose of power is to create to make life around you better and in this regard i have all the power that i need as for the iron fist i think every successful activity requires discipline strict discipline and it starts with me instead of waiting for somebody to come and do

something i do it myself i may offend other people but sooner or later they'll understand that i was doing it for the wrong good. many historians make the case that russians prefer authoritarian leaders and that tackling the deep problems of alcohol addiction and rural isolation need street discipline and total control good or bad but in the xander space it seems to have proved efficient on the boycott r t the village of. oregon region. well there is no escaping the joy of the bright lights in a few minutes when martin andrews takes to st petersburg softer an update of our top story statements.
