i pod touch from the i.q. exams to. life on the go. video on demand. broadcasts and r.s.s. feeds now in the palm of your. question on the t.v. dot com. it's .

america's media is judge and jury the news outlets jeopardizing justice by sentencing suspects or they've even been to a courtroom. egypt's demonstration deja vu the protesters are back in tahrir square angry at slow reforms and corruption only represent rising. and reports of widespread deaths and devastation loss in turkmenistan but an elusive government disguises it as a promise of plywood. you're watching our table let's get straight to our top story now being proved innocent 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. in newspapers and i say checking the records. 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 in an obsessive kind of way fifty shots sixty sets laying on our stomach in our back as we run or as we walk 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 to yours. covering up my crimes when i decided to cooperate with the reds 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 the most 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. it's crazy and i think it's great they have been chipped and they get it but from the media is going to go. 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 on 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 r. and r. 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 the citron are party in iraq. the march towards a reborn egypt has slowed to a crawl now the interim leaders have been sent the strongest message yet that they're not doing enough with tens of thousands turning out the biggest protests in months the mystery will stop here square in cairo and gathered in other cities angry that the interim government is dragging its heels in the forms demanding a new talk with president that egyptians are also frustrated a sluggish pace of prosecuting senior officials and police officers are used to tighten rising but then that shadow still of knowledge international relations

professor mark almond says the revolution they are troubling change. the expectations that the fall of mubarak could 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 will go on trial next month of all sorts of crimes against the people and against the interests of country but of course field marshal tantawi and the other members of the military ruling council who are his appointees to a great extent across egypt people do see that their local boss the local head of the bin astray should be changed so there's a sense that the old regime was decapitated but minus mubarak it's still in power ironically one of the big reasons for the revolution people's economic discontent is social this contentious irritation at unemployment and so on actually the process of getting rid of mubarak 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. well a few minutes georgia's a cloak and dagger conundrum president something. of spies return targeting high profile talk of the president we ask whether the snapple is snooping. in it to win it india's enterprising youth turning small businesses to big profits . the billionaire owner of britain's a bestselling newspaper is due to arrive in london to deal with the fallout of the phone hacking scandal at the news of the world report murdoch is closing the one hundred sixty eight year old paper its last edition on sunday. tabloids former editor and it was released on bail he was at the paper when it allegedly intercepted phone calls from murder victims and dead soldiers' families who later

government of the day you also need to have separation between the judiciary and those two areas in britain and the united. they've become too close over the last thirteen or fourteen years and i believe that last may no ordinary people in britain their views have not really been represented either in the newspapers or in the political arena last bad for democracy so david cameron should start investigating himself as far as i'm concerned and one 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 moving on two hundred people they have been killed in a series of explosions that shook the turkmenistan city of out of town the whole media sources report the blasts happened and i mean isn't that the government

the sexual assault cases of d s k angelina stands are getting 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 flirtation. yeah 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. says no she says no it's a no is it the same for women and for man one hundred percent. so why do we treat it more as a woman's issue because it happens more often to women. men have

a pride to go so we got us older brother. about money rich get rich in importance for. good that's just another way for women to get rich. so do you think it's fair that the laws generally tend to side with women. and i think it's impossible to really say what's fair or what's not at this point again like. so much i think in general my inclination is to say yes it is because women it for the most part of been the victims for so many years that you always have to side more with them in order to make it looks 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. but

of course there's more of new york's thoughts online at all t. dot com stay with us for that. stuffy activist that's a separate aide to blockade of gaza some two hundred people from the. camera of the space station it's kind of the that's. why this illusion results. come from video. that working in the countryside to come be a breath of fresh air as we discover in today's russia close up now. we're traveling two thousand kilometers east of moscow the colgan region in sudden siberia it's one of the many areas where untaught villages of becoming

a ghost towns as young people move to the cities a. few number but there's one place where the residents have a good reason to stay. and to find out what it is. here we are in the village of chester in vic oregon region and for the past ten or fifteen years its population has been steadily increasing here is 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 joke three kilometers and be docked ten percent of that month's wage. those who do the testing every morning regardless of gender or position within the country could be that 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 micro-management 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 which 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 should be beaten and probably. should be hanged as a former boxer he's not shy about exercising his rule with an r.

in face that 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 upside 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 tax payer in the village are four thousand people he's taken 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 funkiness of giving guidance and advice is evident wherever he goes in you are it 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 at 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 that alexander 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 that's 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 the tackling the deep problems of alcohol addiction and rural isolation need street discipline and total control good or bad with in alexander's case it seems to have proved efficient on the boycott r t the village of just those of you who are going to region. by that shortly we continue our trip around russia as martin andrews takes us to the bright lights of st petersburg soft recap of our top stories.
