a spy to be in sending information to moscow and in a not video confession he is in the case it's a no the one of those three that are in custody now with regard to the third member of the team he's believed to be in on a hunger strike denying any charges against him now the reason they were charged this comes after their their personal hard drives were seized and detailed maps of the presidential compound and presidential goings on the the the daily schedule of mikheil saakashvili was found on that hard drive this resulted in the charges being leveled against them now they will remain in custody until september when they will face a closed doors trial but russia is accused of being a little quick on the draw when it comes to labeling people spies they say that there isn't enough evidence to link these people to to moscow and says that the russians aren't the only people that think that russia has jumped the gun a few times on labeling people spice up to go would judges are so quick to stick

a label on to anyone i guess is just a level of democracy you remember going that has been noticed not just by russia but by various key international organizations like the u.n. spokesperson for the russian foreign ministry there saying that russia didn't have anything to do with these people who are being charged with espionage in georgia last year we saw thirteen people arrested on espionage charges now nine of those were found guilty just last week and handed down sentences ranging between eleven years and fourteen years in torture itself there has been a bit of an outcry against this we're hearing from a georgian daily newspaper. of what they determined to be determined to be a witch hunt going on against anybody who opposes because saakashvili they say that to start off it was businessmen then it was politicians and scientists and now the new target all this which is journalists in a position to say the. it's saakashvili is trying to use these these spy

saw his nazi would stoop to try and put himself across as a hero in school but it's a good point and they say that anybody runs the risk of having themselves labeled as spite of having their reputation brought drug through the mud like that should they stand up against such. every person who is criticizing saakashvili and who is against he said was all of them just beginning for me but it just serious place we can sell fresh. chase to. any subset people and if you have a different point of view if you are supposed to stuff a position you have a. very high reason to lose that job to find finding your profits drops all gone so this is a typical soviet country modernized i call the modernized soviet union. which is the rulings right now in my country georgia opposition is saying that because you

see spy allegations to school political points now this comes out fifty three people have been charged with espionage saying that they passed information from georgia to moscow it's feared that around two hundred people may have been killed in a series of explosions that shook the city of don in turkmenistan some local reports say the blasts happened i mean edition depot though the government continues to claim it was a fireworks factory state officials have not confirmed any casualties the affected areas cordoned off and closed to ensure a police are being ordered to detain anyone who tries to take pictures or mobile phone footage of the site many people can't contact family and friends because of it was russian to phone lines a special government commission is reportedly set up to investigate the explosions turkmenistan's along with a very secretive state with internet banned till recently contacted the editor of human rights website in turkmenistan who gave us the latest info. it didn't much it

was a shot starting from yesterday people began returning to the town the fires have been put out the local cinema helping soldiers to clean up according to reports the number of casualties and those who died because of injuries has reached nine hundred but we have to verify this information i cannot guarantee its reliability but it's certainly more than two hundred people many died in hospital the residents of about done are no longer in the state of panic but some are still looking for their family members and i can't say that the situation is calm in some remote regions people aren't aware of what's happened as they have no internet access some of perhaps unhappy as the would like the president to announce a state of mourning or express his condolences it seems that there are thirty stunt willing to admit that there are casualties there's no official theory as to the causes of the explosion initially there was an opinion that the fire happened because of very hold whether frankly speaking it's hard for me to toe therefore i won't be drawing any conclusions as witnesses many servicemen who were guarding those will houses died in the fire. stay with us here on our team still to come

guilty till proven innocent does the front page coverage of the u.s. criminal cases muddy the waters of the justice system we report on concerns that trials are being prejudiced. and find out how young indian businessmen are trying to inspire and intimate as they forge a path away from the country's long standing culture. but first the owner of the news of the world rupert murdoch is set to fly to london to confront the crisis had his troubled british tabloid police are now investigating the deletion of millions of e-mails that were potentially valuable evidence in a phone hacking scandal the paper is accused of snooping on the phone messages of politicians celebrities and crime victims a number of arrests happened on friday and including that of andy colson a former editor of the paper who also served as the prime minister's media cheat the tabloids former royal correspondent was also arrested both men later released on bail the prime minister's announced to public. independent inquiries as

a result of the scandal meanwhile news of the world staff is preparing for its last edition sunday following the announcement that it will close john god who used to work for one of murdoch's newspapers says the media and political circles in the u.k. are too close. many of us are calling for a full public inquiry led by a judge and cameron has been dragged into this position he's now willing to let it happen six truly embarrassing for at least 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 as a whole set you can to make socially that set was a different set when labor in power with tony blair but all of it is too cozy and too comfortable if you don't have a real democracy you have to have a separation between the press surely. 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 the last men 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 stop investigating him self as far as i'm concerned i one would your employer a man who's already had to resign over the phone hacking allegations why would you take him to the hearts 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 can log on and have your say on our website r t dot com and register in our latest poll today we're asking is shutting down news of the world the right decision so far twenty percent say yes tabloids are an embarrassment to the british media forty per cent also say yes but i think the reason is that rupert murdoch's media dominance should come to an end sixteen percent believe. the wrong decision

it's the wrong decision in the paper a staff shouldn't pay for its crimes and twenty four percent say the news of the world was made a scapegoat. also a click away a catwalk turns into a cat fight check this out in central russia a model trips up and bumps into her colleague lookout. plus our interview with the daughter of charlie chaplin who talks about the ups and downs of life as an actor. egypt's returning to normal after friday demonstrations filled tahrir square in cairo and other cities it see if there is huge public anger at the interim government is dragging its heels on reforms demanded when the people toppled president hosni mubarak the interim leaders have been sent the strongest message yet that they're not doing enough with tens of thousands turning out for the

biggest protests in months egyptians are also frustrated at the sluggish pace of prosecuting senior officials and police officers who are accused of brutality during friday's uprising professor mark allman from oxford university says the revolution has only added to egypt's economic woes and not brought about the change which people had hoped. the expectations that the full of mubarak would be followed by a change of regime hasn't really come about with barak and his family and closest cruize be imprisoned or accused will go on trial next month of the crimes against the people against the interests of country bunch of cool still boesel term towing of the members of the military rule even counsel with his appointees to a great extent across egypt people do see that the local head of the stray ship has changed so the 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 it was a show about unemployment and so on actually the process of getting rid of mubarak has made in the short term the economy worse but 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 essential porter the u.s. media has come under fire for its reporting of a number of high profile criminal cases the trial of a single mother casey anthony acquitted of murdering her two year old child earlier this week has been at the center of heated debate for years as he's an associate you're going to reports there are concerns that public opinion is unduly swayed by headlines rather than evidence. 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 walk or flee to beating 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 find many of them before they see it as guilty until proven guilty in these cases the government is changing the laws so are you presumed guilty from the get go and how much of a role does the media play if you're accused of of the most crime it's going to be in huge headlines on page one when you 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. 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 a 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 made me appreciate and i did it with from the media is going to be able 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 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 u.s. when as we go in as americans i'm sixty one years old and i'm like well. this is getting now going this is really good now going the principles that the u.s.

once prided itself in are going to fire suspects are having to fight their battles publicly the minute they are arrested and attempts to prove their innocence underlying the discrepancies in the u.s. criminal justice system are alive and kicking in the sea turned out are to new york still to come venturing east we take you want a tour of the corridor and region and southern side of the area a place with beautiful scenery and some of the usual cost plus. with messing about on the rivers just outside moscow but why am i in a wet suit to find out in just a few minutes. first though with a population of more than a billion people india is a promising platform for entrepreneurship but a young indian businessman have to rely on creativity and innovation to find ways of making profit or his previous reports from new delhi. 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 its manufacturing sites it's small and weak

borders natural resources or the status of citizens clashes over disputed territories still continue in some areas. in malaysia police fired tear gas and arrested more than sixteen hundred activists as thousands gather across the capital kuala lumpur those detained included several senior opposition officials in the protest that was the country's biggest political rally in years was the culmination of weeks of pressure on the prime minister and bending electoral reforms ahead of national polls next year the national party's been in power almost sixty years there's growing calls for change. and in japan the prime minister has announced it will take up to twenty years to clean up after the fukushima nuclear disaster that's the first time the government's attempted to put a timeline on how long the operation may last. emergency measures are already underway to shut down the reactors to prevent further radiation leaks the fukushima plant was ruined when it was struck by an earthquake and tsunami in march thousands

of people have left the area around the facility for safety fears. time now for the russia close up team to tell you want to journey two thousand kilometers east of moscow. welcome to the core gonna region located at the very tip of southern siberia it's home to mountains and untouched landscapes but the natural beauty of the area is not appealing to many of its residents entire villages are becoming ghost towns as young people move to cities parties are excited boy cold manage to find one place where the residents have good reason to stay. here we are in the village of chast. grande region with the pos sound of fifteen years its population has been steadily increasing here is the reason why. it's monday morning and alexander 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 salary my job three kilometers and be docked ten percent of that months wage those who do the testing every morning regardless of gender or position within the company could be cool but they will see it on their paycheck and that's a strong incentive not to drink you working week. inforced alcohol abstinence is the idea of this man alexander able to cough is the director of the still such plan and likes to extend his influence as far as possible a man of big ideas he had the 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 to give 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 or xander started laughter in his employees on the harms of all the whole three times a day during with breaks. the holy roman emperor charlemagne said that those called drunk for the first time should be beaten with a stick those court for the second time should be beaten in public court for the third time 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 thefts and no longer the issue. but only if their rules are 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 of 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 fondness of giving guidance and advice is evident wherever he goes and you are well 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 in school is that clear. but this approach has divided villagers the majority believe alexander is a blessing from a minority and primarily doe's who he's fired on 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 did not succeed in spreading it around some people call him a control freak others to resort to more great cultural language his opponents also

include some local officials who believe that alexander has too much power that infringes on their own authority the village under accuses them of not doing enough for the people when i ask him whether he'd like to run for office he's response was a resounding no was it you're blessed i think the whole 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 tackling the deep problems of alcohol addiction and rural isolation need street discipline and total control good or bad but in the xander scase it seems to have proved efficient
