a marketing director. He has headed up the music division for the last

four years. Now it is time for This week we look at allegations

that Greek riot police abused protesters who were arrested in

Athens. Could Palestinians do more to encourage economic growth? And

the joys of indoor fishing in Taiwan. -- shrimp fishing. Welcome

to Reporters. Human rights groups have are urged Greece's government

to investigate allegations of abuse by Greek police officers. The

claims of mistreatment were made by protesters who took part in a

recent anti-fascist demonstration. They say they were physically and

verbally attacked by officers whilst under arrest. The Greek

police force denied the allegations but a group is planning action

against the opposite. The wins are still healing and the scars remain.

The memories will take long to fade. Out of the shadows comes serious

allegations that a recent protest that they lead against a neo- Nazi

party ended with extreme violence by the police. He tells me that

they were beaten in custody and burned by cigarette lighters.

Officers forced us to strip and bend over to see our genitals. They

slapped us and used foul language. The groups say the police are on

the side of the neon dances. -- Neil and Aziz. I was restrained.

They kept torturing us. Maybe the European Union, I expected

something better than that. police HQ, a denial. A medical

report talks of grievous bodily harm with a sharp implement. A

spokesman said no abuse in custody occurred. Maybe they were small

injuries between protesters, he says, but police this Betjeman

rights and never used violence. Footage of another incident gives

another impression. -- human rights. This is not acceptable, he admits,

but it is not representative. On the whole, we respect human rights.

He even compares Greek police to angels. Hostility between police

and Siddons has often proved explosive. The killing of a boy

between two offices sparked the worst rioting in Greece's history.

There was an outpouring of rage against the police, scene of

violent and corrupt. Trust between the two site has never completely

recovered. Police must regularly deal with violent protesters. The

response is often seen as heavy- handed. The police in the state is

a tool. A government that allows this tool to use violence. It is

worrying. It is very worrying. It shows that the state is not feeling

very safe. Greeks are losing belief in authority and its symbols. The

crisis has killed a sense of safety. The police will be hard pressed to

restore it. The anger and protest that often

erupts inside the Palestinian territories is not always directed

it is real. Recent protests on the West Bank, triggered by rising fuel

and food prices, have sometimes turn violent and many people there

blamed their own leadership. I went to the West Bank recently to find

it with the Palestinians could be doing more to boost their own

economy and create jobs. Economic hardship is not exactly what

springs to mind at this lavish wedding in Nablus. It is one of the

highlights of the social calendar for the elite of the city. As this

young couple begin married life, they tell me they are optimistic

about their future. We think we will be well and have a nice life.

Life of cause goes on. Many Palestinians, like -- unlike the

guests here, many Palestinians have little to celebrate. In early

September, several thousand people demonstrated across the West Bank

about the high cost of living and unemployment. Palestinians under

the age of 30 make up two-thirds of the population. The jobless rate

can be as high as 40 %. The traditional agricultural sector,

like these all of gross, accounts for 12 % of jobs. Dashed olive

groves. This is not the kind off employment that young people want

these days. Muhammad is in his 70s. He told me that he understands

these useful frustrations. -- youthful. After the war, so many

young people left because of lack of job opportunities. I had to

leave and work in Kuwait for ten years. Olives like these may be

picked by methods that have changed little down the centuries. But,

after pressing, olives are brought for bottling in modern plants like

this one. The olive business provides a livelihood for 100,000

Palestinian families according to this man. He would like to expand

his business but faces obstacles. We do not have any control over the

borders, whether it comes from the port, the crossing from Jordan, it

is handled by Israelis and they have control over every movement

that we make. Some Palestinians are trying to become more self-

sufficient. This man is passionate about sheep. Does this woman. She

runs her own sheep farm in applause with the help of family members.

She is seeking support. -- N McNab was. My objective is to establish a

competitive business based on bringing fully organic sheep to

lead a fully economic business. More investment is yet to come her

way. The Palestinian authority allocates less than 1% of its

budget to agriculture. So Palestinians are trying to boost

their own economy but they need more backing from their own leaders

and also fewer restrictions on economic activities by the Israeli

authorities. An American citizen who was jailed

for insulting the King of Thailand has told the BBC the law that he

violated is obsolete and needs changing. Joe Gordon had posted

online links to a biography of the King and when he visited Thailand

he was arrested and spent more than six months in prison. It is time

for Jo Gordon to go home. His trip to Thailand, the country of his

birth, was supposed to be for medical treatment and to get over

the death of his wife. It turned into a holiday from hell. For the

last 30 years, Mr Gordon has lived in the United States. He has become

an American citizen. Five years ago people siblings on an Internet site

which showed Thai readers where to find extracts of a biography which

was critical to their king. The world's longest serving monarch,

the King of Thailand has been on the throne for 66 years and is seen

by many Thais as semi- divine. Anyone who insults him or his

family can be prosecuted under controversial laws which carried

the penalty of up to 15 years in jail. -- which carry. Much to Mr

Gordon's surprise, his online activity was monitored. He was

arrested in Bangkok. He pleaded guilty in court to get a reduced

sentence of 2.5 years. After seven months of feuding a prison cell

with but the inmates, some doing time for rape and murder, Mr Gordon

was granted a royal pardon and released. He was still fuming at

the lop which sent him there. an obsolete lot. We live in the

20th century. Using 18th century laws, this law is French, they do

not use it in France any more. There had been some expectation

that the current government would try to change this war.

Particularly as many of her supporters have been prosecuted

under it. In the last year, cases have been pursued with increased

vigour with particular focus on internet users. Supporters of the

lossy it is needed to preserve the special relationship between the

Thai monarchy and the state. TRANSLATION: The monarchy and the

nation are linked so if you say something that insults the King,

that is the same as Hamann the nation. The law is similar to

counter-terrorism laws in the duet estates. -- harming the nation.

Angry and disillusioned, Jo Gordon is returning to America to try and

rebuild his life. He has no plans to return to Thailand.

The Three Gorges Dam is one of the most impressive civil engineering

projects in the world. For China, it has become a symbol of

development. It controls flooding on the river and produces vast

amounts of Hydro-Electric power. There has also be huge

environmental and human cost. More than one million people have been

displaced. Our correspondent travel to the dam to meet some of the

people who found themselves in the It is one of the biggest dance ever

built, stretching for two kilometres and costing over $30

billion, the Three Gorges Dam was built to contain the mighty Yangtze

River. With a project on this scale, no-one was allowed to get in the

way. When it was completed, the station and were told to leave but

they say it is the only job they know. -- these fisherman.

TRANSLATION: You cannot make a living if you cannot fish. We have

appealed to the government but no- one is listening. This stands as a

symbol of China's development. Over the last decade, the scale and pace

of change has been unprecedented but the way in which millions of

people have been pushed aside by the Communist Party has generated

enormous fridge and went. This was one of the one million people

forced to relocate because of the dam -- has generated enormous

resentment. He was never given the compensation he was entitled to.

When he complained to local officials, he said he was beaten up

and left paralysed. TRANSLATION: If ordinary people can defend their

own right so and if government officials follow the law, this

country will change for the better. Much of China's wealth is slowing

down the Yangtze River. Might in other cities, the people here are

becoming used to being better off. -- just like in other cities. Many

are not prepared to be pushed around like in the past. For time's

new leaders, that means ruling a population less likely to follow

the party line -- for China's the leaders.

A remarkable friendship between a US Stealth fighter pilot and the

man who shot him down has been celebrated in Serbia. The

relationship has been recorded in a documentary. The two men who put

their story will promote peace and tolerance.

In Belgrade, the memories are still fresh. 13 years ago, NATO air

strikes rocked the city. Operation Allied Force lasted for almost

three months and Belgrade are still bears the scars. The forces of the

former Yugoslavia also made their mark, shooting down the biggest

prize of all, a US Air Force F 117, a supposedly invisible still

fighter. Now the main protagonists in that incident are reliving it

for the premiere of the second meeting, a film that brought them

together. Dale was is still fighter's pilot. The wreckage of

his plane is in a museum next to Belgrade airport. But he is far

from bitter about the incident. Well, there you go. The hostilities

are now history and Dale has come to express his friendship to the

man who shot him down. He is explaining to his own children

exactly what happened on that night in 1999. The Serbian finds it easy

to laugh with a man who once came to bomb his country and to the

relationship has flourished off screen with a strong bonds formed

between the Serbian and American families. TRANSLATION: We are

already talking about visiting him next year and we are setting the

date. My wife is learning English now so she can communicate with his

better. And we are already thinking about the future. Now the former

foes are not just breaking bread together but making it, or in this

case, Apple strudel. The Sultan has become a thinker since retiring

from the military, much to the happiness of Dale's children -- and

the Serbian has become a baker. The hope is that getting to know the

enemy might become a lot better than bombing them.

He was called the Real Slumdog Millionaire after he wants to Be a

Millionaire. In this story that mirrored the Oscar-winning movie,

one man in India finally won the competition. How has the money

changed him? This was the million dollar moment. But what happens

next? 12 months on, Kumar still shares the same rented house with

his family. How has he spent his money? This is a generator. It cost

$500. The generator means he no longer has to put up with the daily

power cuts. But his biggest buyer has been this plot of land next

door. He is building a large house for himself, his parents, of his

wife, his brothers and their families. TRANSLATION: After I won

the competition, I started getting letters asking for money to pay for

operations, land and weddings. But in our society, if you help one

person, thousands start to come. We help people close to us but one

million is a lot. If I help everyone, I will lose it all in one

day. Mr Kumar now spends his days at home with his family. He has

bought his first ever computer and dreams of becoming a psychology

lecturer. For his parents, it is the little things that matter most.

TRANSLATION: Before, we could only by a half a litre of milk. Now we

can afford three litres. We can afford expensive vegetables as well.

This is a reflection of the new and changing India, when more people

are coming into wealth. But just outside, we can see the other India,

one of immense poverty, where 95% of the population lives on less

than $10,000 per year. One year ago, Mr Kumar was making less than that.

Now he is rubbing shoulders with some of India's best known stars

and is a celebrity himself. He was even invited on to this programme,

the Indian version of Dancing with the Stars. TRANSLATION: Overnight,

I became known across the country and many of my problems will

automatically solved. I feel this is miraculous. I never wanted to

become a millionaire but God may to be one. His new priority is

fatherhood. His wife will give birth very soon. His prize money

has secured a comfortable future for the couple and offers a very

different life for their child. Taiwan has historic strong ties to

fishing but instead of going out to sea on votes or sitting along the

river edge like their ancestors may have done, many city dwellers now

to their fishing indoors. Fishing has been a big part of life in

Taiwan for centuries and is still an important part of culture. What

can they do about it? They come to places like this, and there are

hundreds of them all over Taiwan. Fishing has moved indoors. As you

can see, there are several large paws and in them, the owners of

this place have put an untold number of shrimp. People pay by the

hour to catch them through the afternoon. Families with small

children tried to catch their lunch. Couples out on dates. And several

groups of friends who are here to relax, chit-chat and enjoy fresh.

It is the same price, no matter how many shrimper you catch. The

businesses give you the rot and the late, which consists of chicken

liver and tiny dried it should. -- dried shrimp. They are going to

show me how it is done. He says that the trick is to only put a

small piece of Bates on the hook so that it can get inside the show's

now. Professionals prefer to bring their own fishing rods and the

eight. He also says it is really important to stay focused so you

know when you have a bite. My first one and it took only ten minutes.

TRANSLATION: We come here because the children like it. This can

train them to be patient because they have to sit here and wait.

TRANSLATION: It is cheaper to do it this way. If you were to rent a

vote it -- a go two to go fishing, it is expensive and risky. We all

come out with our friends and we laugh and Al why scream because

they should move on the end of the line. -- and our partners laugh and

screen because it moves on the end of the line. Customers get to cook

their seafood and savour the rewards of their patience and hard
