5:13 pm
those conditions not all thanks to mother nature every night or something there's always some fights there's always a some kind of drama happening with a lot of us where the police have been telling the junkies and brought drug do you want to hang out with various. big fears in square one of the longest lasting occupations ended up becoming a microcosm of society itself with similar issues from timeliness to crime. still joel and many others here remain under turds are today is january third two thousand and twelve. year the revolution as i like to call it. it is close to. maybe twenty six twenty seven degrees outside but it wasn't the cold but these of the action notices that were posted on the occupiers tents setting off a firestorm of both anger and support and the construction of this tent a dream that. most people did end up leaving joel included i guess the thing that

maybe stopped would be or was the raid. that was i mean that was i mean they have infrared helicopters flying around at night you know out. michael thermal vision on the tents to make sure that people are in the tent sleeping but even police crackdowns have not meant the end of occupy wall street and this is my fear since where today nearly six months after the occupy wall street movement began a few tense remain but it's largely symbolic joe and the others say the occupation aspect of this movement is simply one chapter of a longer story with many more still yet to be written what we do the dirty work for them the desire for radical change and a new found belief that it can actually be achieved is strong enough not to be subdued in the brought me here was that feeling that something was incredibly walang with society in the system in general and everything that we you know are you know should be naturally against the human beings and. i think i found that

right all we have to recall is seven years ago in iraq in the city of beef for twenty four iraqi civilians were killed by nine u.s. servicemen none of whom were a prosecutor for their crimes the leader of the group was simply charged with dereliction of duty and broken rank. you know which is that is hardly commensurate punishment but there is a difference between so-called collateral damage and target and kill and it occurred this past sunday several of the houses in the village were in fact there were people around and often killing innocents to the afghan government state seventeen or more people got them so none of nine children three women and so forth this suggests first of all other than one person providing really a perpetrator of a crime of his own this is a very grim reaper you know and for us to try to portray it as anything else is just something i was too violent revolutions in just seven years that's the price

people's guards counts tens of thousands who one is really is meant patrol the streets at night and just a phone call away during the day organized in small cells they're more while and easily manageable and increasingly they're being trained by the very same security forces they're supposed to be filling for. ministry in the ministry of defense hold train or volunteers in a time of need when police in the army or the moralized we are ready to defend our country the new security arrangement was in full display during the recent presidential elections in addition to observer and regular police each polling station had a group of heavily built man who call themselves people's guards all candidates because elections are extolling the virtues of democracy and the rule of law but to make sure that these for graphic values work in their favor many of them are natural rather than political. the country's former interior minister sas reviling
5:20 pm
the regular police allows being out there it is an excuse to maintain their own private armies and keys the public discontent pulls over once again. under the pretext that the police are the moralized the new authority is a creating their own security units whose primary goal is not to protect the law for all. but rather to protect the private interests of the boss when the culture of this expression of the revolution has also led to a rise in the number of private security agencies here in the center of this character cars train weekly targets. during the last revolution protesters raided several depots and many of their weapons are still at large. it's true that our business grows in times of instability but we are really tired of all these revolutions and what we need is stable economic development evolution. and despair pollution if it keyed place well into the near thirty's hands they may have

transitional council and i want to extradited. japan says it's considering whether to destroy a satellite which north korea is planning to launch next month over fears that it's a disguised long range missile test north korea is this is just a working satellite which it wants to send into space in april to mark the birth of the state's founder kim il sung several countries but even the u.s. russia and china condemn and plan. travels now and we have off the beaten track very much so to find some more corners of russia close up . if you're watching last couple of days you'll know the area we're heading to it's this summer but we'll take you to a remote settlement this time though in a year old mountains with headline grabbing name the village is called newspaper it while i'm at it where it seems that time has stood still for almost
5:23 pm
a century but tom barr that is why there. is one of russia's biggest cities but a few hours away it's a different world where we were going even tarmac would be a luxury that we end of the road from here to the village it's just forest time for me to do this and go even further off the beaten track. eventually we saw it welcome to the village of newspaper population ten people two horses to carol's no running water no electricity and one rather strange name it was founded in one nine hundred twenty four by a group of collective farm workers and wanted to branch out on their own but they had a problem. with the pope when it established in your village they had to have permission
5:24 pm
so they applied for it through the local paper when the permission was granted their name to a newspaper in things. spread lerner is one of only two people who have lived here all their life the other is clean up after her husband died she continued to live here alone every winter snowed in so what if they need help. he don't get help if something happens here on the road and if you can't get through the phone no one will come. said larner with her two horses is essentially the village taxi service for twenty one year old son lives here too and for the moment is content working on a local logging site. that he doesn't want to leave in the town he likes it here but they're not sure if he'll stay here that long it might be fun for humor he's still young but i think you might get more of it. curls can roam freely.
5:25 pm
jaws don't need to be locked in fact apart from tending the livestock the only law and order necessary here is to stop the dogs fighting but newspaper is incredibly small too small and i wondered to survive i was surprised to find it was good lena who disagreed with me but if you knew the village has a future in its hold on it's a nice quiet place and that's why city residents come here we have a need you can opt for some houses. so it looks like far from dying out cleaners granddaughter could be joined by many more visitors i wouldn't hold out for the road though some bottom party. but here moscow turned green for a day as crowds gathered in the capital center to celebrate and for additional irish holidays and patrick's day. joined a rebel. there's no doubt that when you think of us in paddy's day you think all the islands and the irish people themselves but also the most iconic of all all
5:26 pm
saints sam paddy who today at the old was deliberating just that bad just like the rest of the world from new york to baghdad to beijing as well as here in moscow now the hospital had actually been celebrating him at his base of nine hundred ninety two and it's cultural events like this that actually tire pressure and hiding to get back into the business and trade and you know i did them out of use the mentality the terms of the cultures they enjoy having fun and making people smile and having a few drinks so none of them patrick's day celebration is complete and still you have i believe that about and then begin it and today we might even have a special green up be up for you as they say. in islands sons everybody. said on the day i would see moscow. but interesting it was well he was celebrating coming up
