i could never grow anything anywhere before it out here to georgia. hostas grow like weeds everywhere else. i got here and something inside of me just took over. she used to grow american beauty roses that with the size of saucers the people wanted to buy for a dollar apiece that in the 30's and 40's which is astounding. she's a beautiful gardiner and when i got here i had this inexplicable urge to start digging in the soil, and i have planted almost every quarter inch of my house in the highlands as a result of this. even to grow the most difficult things, daphne's, which people say you have to plant five in order to get one and one is in these implanted exactly in a pot and it's still living which is astounding to me. so my grandmother has come through to me here and so this is a really special spiritual place for me, and it is the only place i could have written this book. i started a book in the north by talking to over 1200 people. i stopped counting after 1200 people who had migrated from the south to the north to new york, chicago and los angel

before we introduced to ban georgia itself for three years have been fighting counterfeit wine on its own using a law enforcement and taxation but without much success and when we first introduced the ban on imports from georgia that struggles will still yet far from being over russia's restrictions on imports so foreign products are often criticized as being politically motivated let's take a look at some of the cases in the report from spotlights that. in two thousand and six moldova georgian winds were banned in russia the country's consumer rights watchdog. claimed the wines contain pesticides and much of it was fake the ban on wines was very soon followed by a ban on the input of popular brands of georgian manual water because it was claimed they didn't. purity standards both. in court restrictions as economic blackmail as the bans gay men made worsening relations between russia and the from the soviet republics the same year came the ban on let's then can't it was claimed to contain bands a pirate in a hazardous substance. and producers saw it as an attempt to force them out of

excuse me, southwest georgia. the autumn that i was in southwest georgia just happened to be the same time as the cuban missile crisis. so i want to read a couple of sentences about that. in contrast to the movements uplifting music in october i heard u.s. bombers were overhead flying from albany turner for space to patrol leaving white segregationists like sheriff ziti matthews to go marauding in terrell county. and so i had this experience of government that sending these planes to patrol cuba from the air force base in the town where i was working, where many of us were working. yes, the federal government's position with respect to our safety even as voting registration workers which meant we were federally protected. they were helpless to protect us and yet these bombers went over daily. my house was also attacked, although not quite as in such a dire weigh as much this. with the stories of terror that were told to us or were told in the south had in the old days had kept people in their place. that is what i

the state of georgia was coming up with its own solutions to the cherokee problem. this is what happened. first they pass the cherokee -- of 1880 and that annexed most of the cherokee territory that was a budding five neighboring white counties, and that code declared the church along with in those areas was null and void. the code also prohibited cherokees from holding meetings are testifying against white men in the formerly cherokee territory, all previous contracts between indians and whites were nullified and less to white men agreed to vouch for their validity. the result of that of course was ruinous for the cherokees and it was a massachusetts congressman who spelled it out for his colleagues and i will read from that. if whites suffered guaranteed that no other white men were watching, then they could cross into cherokee territory, and this is quoting the congressman, they could burn the dwelling, waste the farm, plunder the property, assault the person, murdered the children of the cherokee and the hundred. >> permitted to be looking on, there is not one o

so, it is interesting to me the condor attack from john forsythe of georgia, who i think may be pretty effective argument. he spoke about the hypocrisy of the northerners who had been allowed or decades to deal as they would with their own tribes and no federal interference. he reminded the senators that the north and midwest had vanished the tribes without provoking an outcry, mentioning the mohawks, the decoys, the iroquois's and when a main senator against the removal urged people to listen to the still small voice of their conscience, a senator named robert adams of mississippi return to the theme of northern hypocrisy. he called the indians barbarians had he challenged his northern colleagues to do justice to them before they lectured others. i think again, this is something we should remember. he said, about the indians, call them back from the deep wilderness to which they have been driven, adams said, restore to them the happy land from which they had been cruelly expelled. give them your fields, your houses, your cities, your temples of justice and your halls of legislation. d

and even horrifying thing as the burst of swine flu the first reports of which have appeared about georgia and your recently visited tome. is it a fact and really so threatening. well first of all i should say that when the h one n one two thousand and nine of last year we doctors who were extremely honest with the public. r us come to ports from the atlanta center for disease control and prevention who first evolved this train said dick then. gas. and train which would soon concrete the entire planet which did happen actually and almost all the countries more than two hundred countries have reacted but they said a very important thing they said this train cases would predominantly proceed mildly and transport exactly that way during the past season of two thousand and nine two thousand and ten russia went through the first wireless attack of the new stream december two thousand and nine. well what you are seeing differs from what was reported in the press back in two thousand and nine you may recall the panic about the swine flu and that all would die if it was indeed a panic which underm

i've been living this georgia for 25 years. i'm an origin south carolinian as i've traced my family roots back to 1875. so my south carolina roots run very deep. as a matter of fact, my family history was chronicled in the movie with deliberate speed with sidney poitier which is thurgood marshall's first case in south carolina which was briggs v. or elliott. all those members are, like my family, members. >> congratulations. >> it was rolled up into brown v. board of education in topeka, kansas. although i'm from south carolina and educated in the virginia, i stayed in the south as many of my relatives did because a lot of them worked for the railroad which was a pretty good job during that time, and there was to reason to leave the south. but a number of them did take the same route your mother took on the silver comet that took you to philadelphia, new york, boston, connecticut and those areas. and speaking with the, i guess, the original migrants to the north and west and, well, north and the west, did you find that a lot of

when he went to congress from georgia in 1827, his goal was to expel the cherokees from georgia. that was his goal. he described his legislation, however, as indian reform. that was the way, but his opponents knew what his mission was about. workers got thousands of petitions signed by more than a million men, women, and children to proposal the removal of the poor dear indians from the states they were located to the western mississippi. there was a powerful ally, and jackson had convinced himself that he was doing the cherokee a favor by insisting that they move. there was increasing friction between the white settlers -- excuse me -- the white settlers and the cherokees, and jackson felt that his humane answer was to force the cherokees to leave their traditional tribal land. what he didn't ever hear was the response of the cherokees themselves including school children. they learned that they might be driven west. their teachers told them study hard because you may be going where there are no schools, and one boy asked about the white settlers. they've got more land than they

lack of freedom of speech in georgia we all know that there are two television stations here in georgia which are strictly strictly positive that say government critics is precisely the problem if you're not for the government you're considered against news service and there is no independent media there is either pro-government or opposition media we have no media source in georgia which has its own pulse is a balance and is not subordinate to any party in the form on woodsmen as that this situation a ride with the new government of mikhail saakashvili another got all those who came to power after the rose revolution loudly speaking about freedom of speech human rights and democracy started tightening the screws very quickly the whole georgian t.v. industry quickly changed basses and they can totally controlled by the new authorities meaning those trying to follow an independent line here on an ever narrow path it's a hazy day the georgian capital really missed you can make out the city's telecoms tower through which most of the region's telecom signals pass but like the mist the fear

goal was to ec pell the cherokees from georgia. that was his goal. and he described his legislation, however, as indian reform. that was the way. but his opponents knew what his crusade was about. he put it this way, northern fanatics, male and female, had gone to work and got p -- gotten thousands of petitions protesting against the removal of the poor, dear indians from the states where they were located to west of the mississippi. now in president jackson lumpkin had a powerful ally. jackson had convinced himself that he was doing the cherokee a favor by insisting that they move. there was increing friction between the white settlers, excuse me, the white settlers and the cherokee, and jackson felt that his humane answer was to force the cherokees to live their -- leave their traditional tribal land. what he didn't ever hear was the response p of the cherokees themselves including school children. they learned that they might be driven west. their teacher told them, study hard because you may be going where there are no schools.

georgia two thousand and three. and ukraine two thousand four. cutest on two thousand and five. and egypt twenty eleven i think these are all completely different revolts well think again and not only because a racist fist was one of their symbols if you look more closely you look at the people who are leading this are being coached in the they're being coached by u.s. intelligence services the same way the orange revolution was an in ukraine or the roles revolution was talking freely and in georgia a string of revolutions some bloodless some north to rock the boat soviet space at the beginning of the twenty first century there were a number of common factor is an uprising against the regime rooted in a popular dissatisfaction with standards of living hence the collective name colored revolutions amazingly the outcomes have been quite similar to six years ago key of independence square was the birthplace of the orange revolution it promised a new dawn and major changes for the country but ultimately all aspirations came to nothing. lawyer goody goody sedan guy is one of those di

the court that made me realize that i wanted to write a book was in green county, georgia. it was a beautiful place. president bush vacationed there three times during his presidency. i walked up the stairs and i saw the public defender there and he is a man named robert who sa major character in chapter one and he has tons of people swarming around him and they are waving papers trying to get about two minutes with him before their cases are going to be called before the judge. now this is the way it worked here in green county. he would call their anytime. john smith, are you here? and then john smith would come and be told what the prosecutor was offering and people had called and not heard back. they didn't get any attention to the individual circumstances of their cases. instead, they were called before the judge and another attorney who even left about the case would stand there almost like a piece of cardboard and the people would plead guilty. now it was incredibly obvious in court that day that people had no idea what was happening to them. people started to cry in

here in russia because of them there in washington or in brussels or anywhere else it will not lead georgia anywhere this is their dead lock and mr saakashvili personally is responsible for that they had long hair the will not to speak about the previous tragedy in august two thousand and eight the hearing in stores when in paris the seventeenth of january yes the title of this hearing is still completely wrong this title is based on the previous resolutions of the parliamentary assembly of the council europe reach defiance of the conflict is a war between russia and georgia and this is wrong and i don't think that the this approach has led the parliamentary assembly anywhere it is still outside it does not contribute anyhow to the. peace process in the region he just makes comments and i feel story bold there because i believe that the potential of the parliamentary assembly of the council year of the potential of the council of europe is much bigger than the previous reason lucian sent us who will participate in these hearings i am not sure the georgians will participate but we will parti
