empire. bringing you the top news headlines from around the world direct from moscow this is our t. certainly glad to have you with us three georgian photojournalists including president saakashvili personal photographer have been charged with spying for russia after being arrested on thursday our correspondent peter oliver reports. initially there were four photo journalist arrested on thursday one of those has now been released without charge over the three that remain in custody are all pool reporters meaning that they had very close quarters contact with the president of georgia mikheil saakashvili we are hearing this one of those who is in custody has 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 one of those three are in custody now with regard to the third member of that scene he's believed to be on a hunger strike denying any charges against him no the reason they would charge this comes after their their personal hard drives we see stuns detailed maps of the presidential compound the presidential goings on the the the daily schedule all 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 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 are the only people that think that russia has jumped the gun a few times on labeling people spies. the georgians or. anyone i guess is just eleven members and it has been noticed not just by russia

but that paris key international organizations like the u.n. lost to be sold thirteen people arrested on espinosa challenges no nine of those were found guilty just last week and hunted down sentences ranging between eleven years and fourteen years in torture itself. and outcry against this we're hearing from a georgian daily newspaper. of what they tend to be determined to be a witch hunt going on against anybody who. poses because saakashvili they say that the salt off it was businessmen that it was politicians scientists and gals in utah get all this which is journalists position say that saakashvili is trying to use these spy saugus as it would suit to try and put himself across as a hero in school political points you are. you were. you

are always very clear that you are. going to school out of the rubric of middle east we should just call the local people some are right because those are three times really the entire russian he's never. worry slightly. by space and they say this anybody runs the risk of having themselves labeled a spotlight and having a bad reputation brought it drug through the mud like that should they stand up against saakashvili or he's better all of our reporting for us there now georgia's opposition leader. told r.t. the evidence the forties are claiming that god could have been obtained under pressure. it's not a test case when the surgeon who always on the right had each giving such kind of explanation they actually had to take into account that she was not the only wife two and they have a very small child was released after great. weeks that the program

mentioned so of course it's quite difficult for me to say one hundred percent behind a bad. situation but enjoyed your time time were receiving the candles based on girl had no real legal outcomes and we never saw any kind of real human patients that government you think right now government decides to read generally which is surprising politically because government we're trying to control everybody and i think until now we didn't succeed even one if we didn't say what government something you're really going to have but one of the problems you cite when you have problems with social and health care when you have a problem. mentary a rule of law and the rights of the people when you love your pantry twenty percent or thirty thirty because i may discard them but it is possible if you can find somebody who will be eating everything we can counting the country thank you very

old police. just quite easy to play russian and unique and everything. wrong to the country russian so soccer should be creating things i kind of a nice. try to lead everybody who's against seymour a gatekeeper regime and who is fighting for real democracy in this country she's trying to link with russian. it's feared that around two hundred people may have been killed in a series of explosions that shook the city of turkmenistan some local reports say the blast happened out of munitions depot though the government continues to claim it was a fireworks factory state officials have not confirmed any casualties the affected area is closed to the public and police are stopping anyone from filming or taking pictures many people can't contact their families or friends because of a disruption to telephone lines a special government commission has reportedly now been set up to investigate the

incident turkmenistan has long been a very secretive state with the internet banned until just recently our team contacted the editor of a human rights website intrade minister who gave us the latest information. 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 common 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 therefore to stand

willing to admit that there are casualties there's no official theory as to the causes of the explosion and usually there was an opinion that if i happened because of very hot weather frankly speaking it's hard for me to tell therefore i won't be drawing any conclusions as four witnesses many servicemen who were guarding those warehouse last thursday night in the fire. you are with r t coming up later this hour guilty until proven innocent. because the front page coverage of u.s. criminal cases. muddy the waters of the justice system. excuse me we've reported on concerns that many trials are being prejudice plus. from passion to profession to find out how young indian entrepreneurs are turning their bright ideas into cash. the owner of the new news of the world rupert murdoch is due to fly in to london to confront the crisis at his troubled british tabloid police are now investigating the deletion of millions of e-mails

that were potentially valuable evidence in the phone hacking scandal the paper is accused of snooping on the phone messages of politicians celebrities and victims of crime a number of arrests were made on friday looting that of andy coulson a former editor of the paper who has also served as the prime minister's media chief tabloids a former world correspondent was also arrested both men were later released on bail the prime minister has announced he will become public inquiries as a result of the scandal meanwhile the news of the growing staff are preparing for its final edition of the sunday following the announcement it's to close john galt used to work for one of murdoch's newspapers says media and political circles in the u.k. are two clubs. case closed down the news the world so up to five hundred people have lost their jobs i'm most those people were not only is the world when these allegations of hacking happened because what's going to happen now is the free press in the united kingdom which is something we really pride ourselves on there's

a real danger now we're going to get overregulation by the government as a god that results of this of porridge behavior by song journalists on the news of the world and also is a major problem because i think that successive governments in britain but the labor government are in control before and now david cameron the conservatives being too damn close to rupert murdoch and other newspaper. it's not all there is to close it and 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 that last may not all narry people in britain their views nor really be 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 six treme embarrassing for him because the former editor of the news of the world and the consul of course became his press secretary and why would your employer a man who's already had to resign over the phone why would you take him to the heart of government where he could about access to top secret dossier as an information it's a sorry sorry diary let me tell you not just for the british press but for british democracy. now you can have your say on that story on our website r t v dot com in our latest poll today it we're asking is shutting down the news of the world the right decision more than half of you agree that rupert murdoch's media dominance should be finished eighteen percent also say yes but for the reason that such talboys are an embarrassment to the british media thirteen percent of you viewers that think it's the wrong decision and that the paper's current staff should not be

punished and the least popular answer is that the news of the world has been made a scapegoat. while you're online you can also check out some other stories we're covering including america's copyright clampdown with tough new restrictions for downloading and sharing films and music plus. the sky is not the limit we track and the marathon voyage of the olympic torch from earth to space and back as russia prepares for the two thousand and fourteen winter games. defectors from syria's a security forces that were deployed to quell demonstrations against president assad say they were ordered to shoot to kill in interviews released by human rights watch they claim that they're superior officers that gave

the command to fire on the protesters meanwhile unrest continues to grow hundreds of thousands took to the streets in the city of amman friday activists say at least fifteen people were killed and more than two hundred arrested amid anti-government demonstrations across the country this comes as the gnostics accused a u.s. envoy of inciting violence and hamas something that washington strongly denies more than fourteen hundred people have been killed since anti-government protests began in march but as syria's deputy foreign minister told r.t. his country will not. any foreign interference in its affairs. therefore a serious position has been clearly articulated and the global community is aware of the military force in syria hands so even if the west is thinking about it meaning we would advise them not to syria is the key to the balance of the middle east any meddling of this interview for israel will drive this region to the same state the most and countries are going to verify this but nevertheless they keep hating arabs and syria in particular was

a hot political standoff with the arab israeli conflict because of our chief wants of success and our progress on the reform struggle through under the leadership of president bashar al assad what happened in syria ever expected to spread like an epidemic across other our countries in order to weaken now israel and the west of to impose their civilization a supremacy of values the mindset of the last i very carefully and all of the signals west wants from us especially view of the recent events and i must say that in truth they do not wish us well. and you can watch that for interview with syria's deputy foreign minister on r.t. throughout sunday. the u.s. media has come under fire for its reporting of a number of high profile criminal trials a case 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 and as our genes are starting to reports there are concerns that public opinion is unduly swayed by the

headlines rather than ever so. innocent until proven guilty it's a whole mark principle of the american justice system legally after the show decide from the vigor of some of the arrests young african black and brown subjects being sat down in history in 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. entrapment is getting someone to do something that they would normally do to perp walks that read suspect in hand cards for the world to see deliberately to a media frenzy devouring from cases and not others i believe you could be full to see it as guilty until proven guilty in these cases 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 or became a scribe it's going to be in huge headlines on each 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 the server would still thinks you're a child molester tick the not guilty verdict in the casey anthony murder case involving her two year old daughter a court of public opinion remains split from a court of justice all thanks to nonstop media coverage of the case the past three years. three i think it's made me it makes them they get ever from the media is going to go through in the case of for. our i.m.f. head domine stross khan the media satisfied their luck in this case 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 and what is we calling as americans i'm sixty one years old and i'm like well. this is getting well going this is really good knowing the principles that the us once prided itself in our fire suspects are having to fight their battles publicly from the minute they are arrested and a chance to prove their innocence underlining the discrepancies in the u.s. criminal justice system are alive and kicking is this eternal artsy anyone. and still to come at this hour heading east. to take you on a tour of the gun a region in southern side place where an entrepreneur is singlehandedly fighting for a better life style plus. with messing about on the road just outside moscow one morning a wetsuit you'll find out just

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 of always been prioritized over sports but kamar is part of a crowing 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 or. going to groups every year. it's a small percentage of them because i you know i don't think it's going to. be all or even entrepreneurship is becoming a hot field for young people in india while many of the parents of the students on india's college campuses viewed government medicine engineering as 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 rising by fifteen per cent. while their peers in the west are struggling to find jobs during this financial crisis many leaders are encouraging

a former prison guard is it's work testing the incoming employees for alcohol. if they're over the limit there is a choice to be started for a no show and lose thirty percent of their month's salary i've got three kilometers and a doctrine percent of that month's wage because we do the testing every morning regardless of gender or position within the company people not only could be caught but they will see it on their paycheck and that's a strong incentive not to drink you know working week. enforcement 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 and i have big ideas 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. quality is a must it's the quality of the product 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 and xander started laughter in his employees on the harms of alcohol three times a day during with breaks you go holy roman emperor charlemagne said the drunk for the first time should be beaten with a stick those quarter the second time should be beaten and probably. should be hanged as a former boxer and 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 the dozens of video cameras around the facility employees have no chance to circumvent the eye of big brother on the outside there are 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

also include some local officials who believe their lives under have too much power that infringes on their own authority will xander accuses them of not doing enough for the people run i asked him whether he'd like to run for office he's response was a resounding no because if you're blessed i think the purpose of power is to create to make life around people better and on this regard i have all the power of the brain as. i think every successful activity requires discipline strict discipline rubel and it starts with me instead weeding for somebody to come and do something i do it myself i me a friend other people and later they'll understand that i was doing it for the wrong. many historians make the case that russians prefer authoritarian leaders and they're tackling the deep problems of alcohol addiction and rural isolation need street discipline and total control. because in the xander space it seems to have
