what it looks like now.

And Dady?

Yes, me too.

If not, there is nothing new. That is fine.

- How are you?

- Very well!

Bye Mom, will call you, OK?

Come in!

What happened?

Eh well, what is it?

When will I be able to sleep here?

... I gave money

to the driver.

And where did the money come from?

I begged and then I stole.

It was expensive - 200 dollars.

Then he said he will only take me

to the Austrian border

It was too dangerous

to get me across.

How long did it take for you

to get the money?

Several months.

I had to eat too.

I am not on the game.

You said that you crossed

the border more than 2 weeks ago.

Why you did not go

earlier to the police or elsewhere?

The driver told me

that if they catch me

and I did not speak any German,

they would expel me right away.

And what did you live from

during this time?

People do not pay attention.

It is so easy to steal.

Where did you sleep?

- In empty houses.

- Were you not cold?

Sometimes yes..

I have this anorak.

Now, it has been cold

for a few days...

and this is why

I went to the police.

Can you tell us how you came up

with the idea to come to Austria?

I heard that people here

are kind to children.

Who told you that?

A girlfriend.

And how does she know that?

She is in the loop,

she talks with people.

How old is she?

Almost as me.

How did you live in Bucharest?

Don't you have parents?

No.

I fled home

two years ago.

There was a gang of bigger kids,

around the train station.

They were my family.

At first, it went well, but

then it got worse and worse.

Two of my friends are dead.

Then, I did not want to stay there anymore.

Isn't this unbelievable ?

What do you hope for now?

- He is not natural.

- Sounds like an adult.

- I want to stay here.

And where in Austria would you like to live?

I do not know yet. But...

they said

that I may not be allowed to stay.

But, if they send me back,

I will return in a few months.

For Marian Radu,

a permit to remain in Austria

is in the hands of the Immigration Service.

The legal challange is:

The foreigners who

enter Austria illegaly

from countries where human

rights are not threathened,

can not claim asylum here.

All of Austria's neighbours

guarantee human rights.

In addition...

You can't sleep?

No.

Are you thinking about the boy?

Yes.

And the little one.

Me too.

So?

I do not know

How to make her understand?

... against the agreement

of Gaza and Jricho.

They proclaim:

Death to Israel and America.

Pro-Iranian Hezbollah fighters

are grieving the loss

of one of their commarades

who died in an Israeli attack.

In fact, Israeli aviation

bombarded Hezbollah positions

as a reprisal for

a Hezbollah attack against

a barrack of the South Lebanese Army

which is supported by Israel.

After pounding the base

with machine guns and grenades,

Hezbollah fighters

had managed

to capture 12 south Lebanese soldiers.

To The Hague,

the judges presented to

the UN Tribunal for war crimes

in the former Yugoslavia.

The list of accused war criminals

includes Croats and Serbs,

as well as the leader

of Bosnian Serbs Karadzic

and the Serbian president Milosevic.

But the Court faces

difficulties as it depends

on the will of Serbian and Croatian

authorities to hand over the accused.

It has been two years

since the images of atrocities

in former Yugoslavia

spread around the world.

The concept of 'ethnic cleansing'

that entered the everyday language,

revived the horrible memories

dating back to World War II.

New massacres are being discovered,

with frightful regularity.

Soldiers and paramilitiaries

kill indiscriminately.

Women, children, old people,

nobody is spared.

Thousands vegetate in prisons

and concentration camps,

in deadly anguish.

In this war, the violence

seem to be limitless.

Serbian soldiers are trying

to undermine the resistance

and the morale of the enemy

by mass rapes.

Until now, the victims

were hopeless that

those responsible for...

Hit the left key to fix it!

You can turn it with the right one

There..

now it is fixed...

You can do this with others.

That is clever

And it's brilliant.

No, it does not go there.

No, it should change colour.

There

Give me the mouse.

You can see the pieces of the puzzle here..

and here is the maximum time,

and up there are different symbols.

Let me continue.

I think I almost had it.

In the end, it is easier

Two minutes, that wasn't hard.

It resets if you go over the time limit.

The last piece

The end

Really great.

What does your prof think?

Are you going to sell it?

Think, it is a kid game,

and there are tonnes of more elaborate ones.

But next year, MIT will lend us

its Data Glove

It is an electronic glove

that you must have seen on TV.

You slip it on and you can move

in three dimensions on your computer.

Ah! Do you know about Mikado?

It's been a long time.

It is..

a just-in-case address.

The Data Glove will soon be on sale.

That will be a new software sector.

Now I have to go back to programming.

Do you know how to play?

More or less.

Mikado is there.

When you get one, you can use it.

That's it.

It is gone now.

Go.

- What are you playing?

- Nothing.

Nothing is worth nothing

So?

I've no idea.

Let's go

Where to?

What is the problem?

Oh, please.

Move..

OK, let's go, seriously

OK, what do you want to play?

Your gun?

What are you betting on?

What do you want?

No idea.

It's up to you.

Your watch?

It is my graduation gift from my parents.

OK, we will play for nothing.

It was your idea.

Move!

Should be nicer than on TV

- Does he know the time is up?

- Yes.

He is aware of the legal situation.

Are we going?

Let's go!

A peaceful Christmas, that is what

people in Sarajevo dream about.

Like Dalida, who is seven,

and her friend Boris.

While they decorate

the Christmas tree,

the shells rain on the city.

People run

to escape the bullets

from sharpshooters.

The stands at the black market

of Sarajevo are almost all empty.

Apart from some Christmas

some Christmas wreaths.

But they are too expensive,

says this young woman.

We are happy

to have a little glimpse of Christmas

But many are desperate,

like this mother:

This afternoon, she had to take

her baby to the hospital,

her leg was scraped by a shrapnel

Did Michael Jackson say the truth

or is acting up?

That is what his fans are asking

after the appearance of the superstar

on TV last night.

After weeks of silence

and a detox session,

he gave a live interview

from his Californian ranch

to refute all the accusations

of children abuse.

A report by Ralf Hoogestraat:

Do not treat me

as a criminal. I am innocent,

said Michael Jackson,

with tears in his eyes,

from the depths of

his Neverland Ranch.

Visibly moved, he told about

the examination of his genitals

by the police.

They were trying to confirm the description

given by a 15 year old boy.
