BBC Moscow correspondent
Rob Parsons delivers a bleak insight into the harsh lives of the city's street youngsters. In the chaos of post-communist Russia, thousands of Moscow children have turned to crime in a desperate struggle to survive. One 15-year-old Parsons meets has turned to prostitution while a penal colony for teenagers he visits is so grossly underfunded he is asked fora donation. The number of youngsters involved in theft, violence and prostitution is so great that the city's police force is stretched to breaking point. Many of the young people are on the run from their families, half of whom now live below the poverty line. Police trawl Moscow's railway stations for runaways who will be detained briefly before returningto life on the streets.

Seventh in a nine-part series.
A member of the notorious Charles Manson "family", Patricia Krenwinkel was arrested in 1969 and charged - along with Manson and other members of his clan - with a series of seven sadistic, ritualistic murders that took place in Los Angeles over a period of two days. Among the dead was Sharon Tate, actress and eight-months pregnant wife of film director Roman Polanski.
Krenwinkel was sentenced to death for her part in the murders, but a year later California abolished the death penalty and her sentence was commuted to life. After 25 years in prison, she appeared before a parole board that had the power to grant her freedom. Sue Ellicott reports on how the parole board decided whether a quarter of a century behind bars is sufficient punishment for this crime.
