Georgia. Corruption in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia is rife - even the President agrees. But as Andy Kershaw reveals, exposing it is a risky business. The country's most popular TV journalist was murdered earlier this year after his Panorama-style programme highlighted political corruption. And, in October, a police raid on the TV station where he worked sparked student demonstrations, demanding greater democracy. Can the once-admired Eduard Shevardnadze, Georgia's leader since 1992, survive? And what will the future hold for Georgia if he doesn't?
