of the year with r.t. were broadcasting live from moscow welcome to the program the firestorm surrounding rupert murdoch's media empire is spreading arrests resignations and convictions continue this as questions are asked over the values of journalist sean hoare credited with revealing the phone hacking scandal. or reports his death for striking parallels with another whistleblower. another political scandal erupts another whistleblower diaries sean hoare was the first former news of the world journalists to go on the record to allege that phone hacking was endemic at the paper and that its editor he calls an actively encouraged it paul was found dead in his house on monday setting the blog a sphere into a frenzy of comparisons with the case of dr david kelly. why isn't the son horror
2:02 am
story bigger reminds me of how dr david kelly was bumped off eerily similar tragedies have seen war and david kelly all this madness and war then david kelly some who are that's what i'm thinking something's not right. talk to kelly was the u.n. weapons inspector who first cast doubt on the government's claim that iraq could deploy weapons of mass destruction within forty five minutes it led to scrutiny of tony blair's decision to invade iraq by extraordinary coincidence kelly's body was discovered exactly seven years before that of sean hordes on the eighteenth of july two thousand and three it was a british journalist andrew gilligan who david kelly had spoken to to publicize his belief that the forty five minute claim had been exaggerated gilligan believes there are similarities between kelly and sean hoare being at the center of one of these storms a terrifying experience i really don't believe either david all sure was murdered
2:03 am
because i simply don't think it would have been in anyone's interest to murder them once they got into the public spotlight anyone with an iota of sense in government would have known that to kill them we just we just amplify the story i think it's simply i think both were under enormous pressure from their roles as whistle blows and and found it difficult to cope with that pressure short haul of evidence could have been crucial to proving that the news of the world editors supported a culture of listening to private voice mails for stories who are former editor andy colson he later became immediate i rector to the current prime minister has always denied the allegations and was destroyed professionally by news international the journalistic world in london is a very small planes and the man was distraught he was well known who was drinking too much taking drugs he was depressed moralized police are saying there doesn't appear suspicious and they're looking at suicide dr kelly's death was also recorded
2:04 am
as suicide although many including leading doctors and m.p.'s have never accepted that their suspicions of hardly been quelled by the fact a post-mortem report and other evidence has been classified for seventy years. ten arrests six resignations two convictions and one death that the toll of the phone hacking scandal so far the death of a key whistleblower in this scandal has raised questions but so far only amongst the twitter ossie it's being reported as a horrible and unfortunate coincidence but it's doubtful that if this has happened elsewhere say in russia or in india the british media would be so quick to accept it as a coincidence but take a look that in the lights of the death of david kelly. still to come on the program pondering the man behind the drones.

used soldiers who israel in a war against lebanon find themselves stuck in a country that's forgotten their existence. to spy saga has taken yet another twist to be seen three photojournalists charges of. russia confess their guilt. reports their concerns. into admitting crimes they didn't commit. and then there were none the last georgian photographer to deny allegations of spying has apparently changed his story he now admits the charges video testimony of georgie have the largest confession of spying for russia was released by prosecutors to the media and most journalists are
2:06 am
skeptical of this latest development or our. old this is very strange and there is in the middle of the night and it isn't there a case has been marked as the secret all of these raises questions and not getting any answers and this confession is a serious face to easier because with this whole deal. you would get their lives and maintains his innocence ever since he along with three other photojournalists was arrested at the beginning of this month all four including president mikheil saakashvili his personal photographer were accused of passing on top secret information to russia's military intelligence for initially insisted they were innocent and then one by one the photographers started changing their testimonies eventually three of them incriminated themselves in his panoz but up the lots they insisted he was not guilty and even went on hunger strike to provoke this point in fact his lawyer says the photographer seems to have changed his mind over the space
2:07 am
of just ten minutes and that's led to questions over the circumstances out there which the photographer seems to have changed his story imagine an editor of all your newspaper the major grabs it believes these admissions of guilt show the case has been fabricated for we live in a totalitarian state and the old power is concentrated in the hands of president saakashvili and if someone goes against him and all of us will end up like this if the interior ministry had any other proof of their guilt he wouldn't have to force these confessions out of him basically this is a message for all of our journalists including me and. members of the media heard the message loud and clear and stage a protest outside the jail where three who don't go first are being held and detention human rights activists meanwhile believe protests will hardly expect a system of power in the country. it's very likely that of their lives or will be
2:08 am
forced to ask for my removal from the case investigators want everyone who can interfere out of the picture so they can lead it the way they want to they want the case of the photographers to end without any public discussion and that's possible if all the arrested plead guilty. and well the case seems outrageous to journalists and really ordinary people it's just the latest in the seemingly endless string of spies scandals ga. r.t. . well you can find more background on how the georgian spy scandal unfolded on our web site that's. so there are no doubt how ukrainian that interact on a show their support to talk with us. and also online the cat lovers could soon be seen worshipping on a man's it's a mascot that sits on temple dedicated to the peach.

2:19 am
the existence of planets around other stars in the past fifteen years there's been an explosion of knowledge about things and they're largely is due to important technological developments so they've all come together to really cause this large number of discoveries that i would say really makes it appropriate to call this a golden era of astronomy. when it comes to starting a family at a time when couples in russia will stop at nothing and if a country six million infertile couple says some to see is there any chance of having a child despite the practice being illegal in russia the end result isn't always a case of happy families. these first photos of vandal made him an orphan seen he was ill his genetic parents refused even to hold him and the boy has a rare and incurable genetic disease but don't provoke that they simply threw him
