confessed on video to having been a spy to be sending information to moscow and in enough video confession he is in the case it's a not a 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 though 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 daily schedule of mikheil saakashvili was found on that hard drive this resulted in the charges being leveled against them 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 truth 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 spies. people with georgians or.

anyone uses just. remember going there has been noticed not just by russia but the various key international organizations like the u.n. last year we saw thirteen people arrested on espionage charges now nine of those were found guilty just last week and hunted down sentences ranging between eleven years and fourteen years now in georgia or itself there has been. an outcry against this we're hearing from a georgian daily newspaper. of what they threw him in to be determined to be a witch hunt going on against anybody who. poses because saakashvili they say that the salt off it was business man that it was politicians and scientists and now the new target all this which is journalists position say that saakashvili is trying to use these these spy saugus as he would to to try and put himself across as

a hero in school political points if you run our entire are surely. you are always very you are. indeed you want to. know. because rules it really isn't a russian he's never. who are his life. and they say that anybody runs the risk of having themselves labeled as spite and having their reputation brought them up like that should they stand up against saakashvili. position they didn't have. the evidence the authorities are claiming they could have been a crush it. it's not a test case one person who always done the right edged even such kind of explanation a specially we had to take into account that she was not the only archie's wife too

and they have a very small child why i have been released. what the week program mentioned so of course it's quite difficult for me to say one hundred percent behind a fed but situations i think you are a good time to time we are receiving some kind of base congress have no real legal outcomes and we never saw any kind of real it's human patients that government you think right now government decides to hire is generally so she's quite symbolic or because government we are trying to control everybody and everything until now we didn't see if you even one of you didn't say what government something. you going to have a chronic problem inside when you have problems with social and health care when you have a problem we. are mentally. ill and the rights of the people when you lost your country twenty percent to thirty thirty because the i'm a good question but it's part of the election you should find somebody who will be

guilty in everything which is wrong in the country because very old probably will take me and. quite easy to explain years russian and everything working. for country russian those suckers should be creating things i cannot say to me and try to lead everybody who is against seymour the regime and fighting for real democracy in this country she is trying to link with russian. it's feared that around two hundred people could have been killed in a series of explosions that shook the city of turkmenistan some local reports said the blast happened in remission is there for the government continues to claim is a fireworks factory state officials have not confirmed any casualties if there is close to the public and police are stopping anyone from filming of taking pictures but if people can't contact their family or friends because of destruction the phone lines a special government commissions reportedly now being set up to investigate what's

going on taken a stand as one with every secretive state with the internet banned until recently party get ready to contact the editor of a human rights website in turkmenistan who gave us his latest information. international pressure starting from yesterday people began returning to the town fires have been put up to the local so no 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 and many died in hospital the residents of about dan are no longer in a state of panic but some are still looking for their family members and i can't say that the situation is can in some remote regions people aren't aware of what's happened as they have no internet access some are perhaps unhappy as they would like the president to announce a state of mourning or express his condolences it seems that there for just aren't 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 if i happens because of very hot weather frankly speaking it's hard for me to tell therefore i want to draw any conclusions as witnesses many servicemen who were guarding those warehouses in the fire. you with r.t. coming up later this hour guilty intil proven innocent does the front page cover us criminal cases muddy the waters of the justice system we are concerns that many trials are being prejudiced. also from passion to profession find out how young indian entrepreneurs to their bright ideas and to cash. next though the owner of the news of the world rupert murdoch is due to fly in to london to confront a crisis of his troubled british tabloid police now investigating with deletion of millions of e-mails that were potentially valuable evidence of the phone hacking scandal the papers accused of snooping on the phone messages of politicians

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 all narry people in britain their views have not really been represented either in the newspapers or in the political arena laughs but for democracy. so david cameron should start investigating himself as far as i'm concerned i wonder would your employer a man who's already had to resign over phone hacking allegations why would you take into 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 that's what john going to say about it you can have your say too on our web site r.t.

community is aware of the military force in syria hands so even if the west is thinking of going to benin we would advise them not to syria is the key to the balance at least any metal of this interview for israel would drive this region to destroy the western countries are well aware of this but nevertheless they keep hating arabs and syria in particular was about political standoff really out of israeli conflict because about such events of success not progress on the reforms travel through under the leadership of president much of it was some of what happened in syria for an expected to spread like an epidemic across other arab countries in order to weaken israel in the west we're going to impose their civilization supremacy values that the mindset of us i very carefully will all of the signals west wants from especially in view of recent events and i must say that some truth they do not wish us well. just let you know you can watch the full interview reverse syria's deputy foreign

minister here on r.t. throat the day sunday. the u.s. media's come under fire for its reporting of a number of high profile criminal trials the case of a single mother casey anthony acquitted of murdering her two year old child earlier this week as british central heated a bay for years i was asked his advice is here churkin reports now there are concerns that public opinion isn't julie swayed by the headlines rather than we have it. innocent until proven guilty it's a whole mark principle of the american justice system illegally after shoved aside from the vigor of some of the arrests young african black and brown subjects sat down in the street and an obsessive kind of way fifty shots sixty sets laying on our stomach in our back as we ride or as we walk or flee to beating suspects into offenses in cases of entrapment entrapment is not illegal 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 had to be thought of 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 a devious crime it's going to be in huge headlines on page one when you exonerated it's on page twenty seven below the full two column inches and your neighbors somehow didn't manage to catch it the server would 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 nonstarter media coverage of the case for the past three years the. reason i think it's radio they get it from the media is going

through the building in the case of former i.m.f. head dominic strauss kahn the media satisfy their gluttonous taste stream 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 us where as we go on as americans and also it's one years old i'm like all. this is getting now going this is really good now going the principles that the u.s. was prided itself in our line of fire suspects having to fight their battles publicly to the minute of their rescue attempts to prove their innocence underlining the discrepancies in the u.s. criminal justice system are alive and kicking the citron out pretty early on and still to come heading east we take you on a tour of

it's one of the offices kamar uses to make sporting equipment including tats 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. very few quality offerings as far as the. industry as a whole was concerned so. it's. 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 as part of the 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. to do it every year. it's a small percentage of them there's

a big growth you know i don't think it's going to produce. 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 as people in 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 rising by fifteen percent. while their peers in the us are struggling to find jobs during this financial crisis many leaders are encouraging their youth to continue to focus on innovation despite the on seattle times we know what it takes to compete for the jobs and industries of our time. we need out innovate out educate and outbuild the rest of the world. it's a pursuit that some believe could shift the power dynamics in the world and. in

a map we're going to call region located at the very tip of southern siberia home to mountains untouched landscapes but it's not going to appeal to all of its residents entire villages in fact because the ghost towns as people move to the cities example we could manage to find one place where the residents were very good reason to take some. here we are in the village of chast in vic or grande region and for the past 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. so they're over the limit there is a choice to be started for a no show and lose thirty percent of them on salary or job three kilometers and be docked temper sand other months of wage those who do the testing every morning

regardless of gender or position within the company could be caught but they will see it on their paycheck and that's a strong incentive not to dream of you know working week. enforced alcohol abstinence is the idea of this man alexander built a coffin the director of the still six plank and likes to extend his influence as far as possible a man of big ideas the 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 they give you this job in the first place and it's the quality that the germans whether you keep it which after firing gazans or fork is for showing up drunk at work and xander started laughter in his employees on the harms of alcohol three times a day during with breaks you heard the holy roman emperor charlemagne drunk for the first time should be beaten with

a stick those called for the second time should be beaten in public court for the third time should be hanged as a former boxer and he's not shy about exercising his rule with an r in first 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 outside there are no longer the issue. although there is a very rigid and most people find it hard to comply with those who don't believe alexander's rules don't work here. alexander's drive to sub the rules of the game doesn't and within his plan the only corporate tax payer in the village of poor thousand people is taken on a very wide notion of social responsibility using the plants profits he paved a local roads renovated a school and built a church and while he agrees that modesty is a virtue of his fungus of giving guidance and advice is evident whatever he goes in

you are it doesn't matter that you come from a village what matters most is to get a good education then good we've got two teachers and behave we'll and school is that clear. but this approach has divided villagers the majority believe alexander is a blessing and a minority and primarily those who he's fired are 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 too nasty in spreading it around some people call him a control freak others to 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 but alexander 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 because if 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 there a need. i think every successful activity requires discipline strict discipline and it starts with me instead of we mean for somebody to come and do something myself by me and find other people. understand that i was doing it for the wrong good. many historians made the case that russians prefer authoritarian leaders and tackling the deep problems of alcohol addiction and rural isolation needs to treat discipline and total control good or bad in the xander scase it seems to have proved efficient axon avoid r t the village of chester syria or going to regent classic case of what they call tough love their own. next water sports enthusiasts are flocking to the outskirts of moscow to brag about going to this week a speedboat changing hands of the unworried faire there where one of the savings.
