this is not a protest rally these people are relatives of inmates who are still inside the prison and they are demanding an explanation that needs brother has already spent seven months behind bars and says georgia's democracy beacon image in the west is merely a well orchestrated cover up. the chill real pretty on the outside sure it is a for europe but no one really knows what's happening behind these walls. president saakashvili came as a stirring thought several prison officials are now under a criminal investigation and all jail staff have been temporarily substituted with police officers the head of the ministry responsible for the pellet entry system as reserve eight but for many georgians it's too little too late in a country with a population half the size of paris twenty five thousand inmates is enough to affect nearly every family in one way or another by those relatives friends or

rages on across the world it also raises the question whether washington's efforts to export democracy to muslim nations have instead radicalized the region in libya radical islamists are on the rise especially in the part of the country which the u.s. hopes too little quote unquote liberate in the first place a source familiar with ambassador stevens' thinking says that in the months before his death he talked about being worried about what he called the never ending security threats specifically in benghazi this source telling us that the ambassador's specifically mentioned the rise in islamic extremism with the country's internal situation getting increasingly unstable libya now appears to be as far as it can get from the route that washington envisioned for the libyans when they do when bombing the country our goal is focused our cause is just. and our coalition is strong having also cheered on the revolution in egypt the obama administration is now unclear whether they ended up with
2:08 am
a more friendly or more hostile country to do i don't think that we would consider them an ally but we don't consider them an enemy but looking at their flags burn. and mobs chanting death to america meaning americans ask themselves doesn't that widespread on rast in the muslim world mean the president's policies there are flawed or maybe dangerously naive i don't think it's requires a degree in physics to grasp the reality of the. world democratization means. i believe that the u.s. state department and the policymaking community in washington were blinded by their own ideological blinkers in afghanistan washington's efforts to make friends also seem to have failed afghan police and soldiers have killed more than fifty u.s. and coalition troops this year alone and many of the attackers have been trained and armed by the us their basic wealthiest of their families we're not going to

2:10 am
the u.s. has had kind of an ad hoc foreign policy in the middle east for over sixty years now they've been staunch supporters of israel no matter what happens within the context of the arab community in the arab region and in the muslim reason i was are saying now in pakistan and afghanistan their policy is also a bad kind of way or an ad hoc nonexistent so i think if anything's going to happen they're going to have to be very engaged right now of why i really think that the u.s. is confused about what it should be doing and how it should be moving forward it's trying to step back and allow some of you know the arab world basically in the muslim world to make its own decisions but there's such a there's such chaos going on right now i think we need to be more engaged and more active this is about really quality down stopping the rhetoric against iran and moving forward to more peaceful and better relationships and better respect with

2:17 am
the pledge to begin with this speech was shown ahead of the liberal democrats convention nick clegg's popularity has flatlined recently and political blogger george eaton believes his own policy will likely get rid of him short. but you're different lines of this plague and his apology suggests that part of the pledge in the first place there's no money around would have been too expensive to rent now what song is saying is well we would have kept the pledge but it was. good. but it's actually the lib dems haven't got one single message from me and i think until they so they do then we holler for the very just take it seriously play better the moment. these policies fortunes around to show that they can achieve things for the country government spends time arguing with the conservatives trying to differentiate themselves.

you're passing through rushes to the region you really. saw it. thousands of kilometers of unspoiled countryside make up an area where it's still possible to live off the land and enterprising locals so the fruits of the forest by the side of nearly every road. such spectacular scenery makes it a paradise for fisherman and provides a business opportunity for hunters. going on he has been hunting for more than thirty years and works for a company providing expeditions for tourists this season ducks are on the menu of. things as. a. site that would be very quiet i'm not going to frighten the. office. but when you've been in the business as long as he has the birds don't stand much
2:26 am
chance. there are defined hunting seasons in russia but lax enforcement means many animals are killed out of the allotted times which can leave young animals orphaned and unable to survive but environmentalists are fighting back the heart of just the less forest provides a sanctuary for the most famous beast in russia it's home to a group who rescue often bear cubs and raise them when they're old enough to fend for themselves the cubs a target taken to a remote location and released back into the wild but it's not just bears who find a haven here this is wolf island here wolf pups have been captured by hunters or bought from zoos have a second chance at life and conservationists have a unique opportunity to observe them these walls are all around four months old and they'll stay in this area for up to three years then most will go back to the wild for good just viewing them from the car was an experience in itself but then after
2:27 am
a bit of a bumpy ride came an opportunity i just couldn't pass up. this is what i was hoping for when i heard i was coming to a place called wolf island a chance to get close and personal with the locals and it's these guys going to act as pasta parents for the next generation will come here using the old walls as surrogate parents has already proved a successful technique. every year i placed infant wolves with one year old wolf cubs his parental instinct is totally shaped and they take them as their own cubs it's an important part of the world's development and a major factor in the success of a project which has seen more than twenty generations of cubs grow up here it's going to continue to take time and money to rehabilitate the wolf's reputation in russia. but the keepers here hope their research and dedication mean that wolf island remains a place where visitors can truly understand the cool of the wild. and

. a low in welcome across town people of l. a year on where does the occupy movement stand is it now just a passing fad there was a lot of outrage and even violence but what about the substance supporters of the occupy movement disagree they claim they have changed the political conversation in the us and possibly the world about social justice. education. started. to cross talk the occupy movement one year on i'm joined by joseph palermo he's an associate professor of history at california state university sacramento in london we have charles cook he's
2:29 am
a writer with the national review and in islamabad we cross to solomon hyder shaikh he is the c.e.o. of i.q. ventures cross-tab rosen effect gentlemen that means you can jump in anytime you want charles one year on the occupy movement would you say it's a lot of heat but not much light. yes and i think it was from the beginning i went down there right at the beginning i covered it for a few months and it's funny if you look back at the first thing i rode i said this is a collection of progressives who've had these ideas for a very long time there's nothing particularly new about it. and it would go nowhere because it was encouraging it was diffused and there wasn't anything new in there offering and i think a year later it has fizzled with the exception of the line one percent in ninety nine percent that has stuck around that and that is now part of the conversation but in terms of the other things i heard that they wanted it was a pretty standard ragbag of progressive wishes ok joseph jump in what do you think well i think as a historian it's too early to tell.
