A South Carolina state trooper was fired after his own car's video camera abusing a woman he stopped for doing 80 mph in a 65-mph zone. The tape showed Lance Cpl. W.H. Beckwith, an 11-year highway patrol veteran, shoving the woman down on the road, cursing her and threatening to cut her clothes off. On thursday state officials released the tape, which, according to public safety director Boykin Rose showed that the officer was ``violating every procedure in the book.'' Beckwith was fired a month and a half after the Jan. 8 incident. His car was one of about 350 patrol cars equipped with video cameras that turn on with the cars' lights and sirens.

Three students and an outsider used the Columbia School of Journalism's high-tech color copier to run off about $80-thousand in fake $20 bills, most of which they seemed to have passed without much trouble. When they were arrested by the Secret Service and the New York Police Department, they had another $75-thousand in bogus cash ready to go.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Sheriff Michael Hunt, Aiken County, police spokesperson: "The Aiken County Sheriff's Office this morning arrested James Joseph Brown Junior, aged 70, of 430 Douglas Drive of Beech Island, South Carolina. Mr. Brown is charged with criminal domestic violence. At 10:48 A.M., the Aiken Country Sheriff's office received a 9-1-1 (emergency) hangup call from the Brown residence. A dispatcher re-established contact and determined a domestic dispute was in progress. Two Aiken County deputies arrived and entered the home through the front door. Deputies learned through interviews the subject pushed the victim to the floor during an argument in the bedroom. The victim is identified as Tomi Rae Brown, aged 33, of 430 Douglas Drive in Beech Island, South Carolina. The victim suffered scratches and bruises to her right arm and hip and the Aiken County Emergency Medical Services transported the victim to the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta. Mr. Brown is being held at Aiken County Detention Centre." APTN File October 1996 4. Performance - 'This is a Man's World,' James Brown GODFATHER OF SOUL IN ASSAULT ARREST Soul singer James Brown was arrested in South Carolina on Wednesday after he allegedly pushed his wife to the floor during an argument, authorities said. The 'Godfather of Soul' was charged with criminal domestic violence . Sheriff Michael Hunt of Aiken County identified the victim as Tomi Rae Brown, the singer's wife. The 70-year-old has been booked into the Aiken County jail and was to to remain jailed until a bond hearing Thursday morning, according to Aiken County sheriff's spokesman Lt. Michael Frank. Investigators say Brown shoved his wife during an argument in a bedroom at the couple's home in Beech Island, 70 miles (112 kilometers) southwest of Columbia. 33 year old Tomi Rae Brown had scratches and bruises to her right arm and hip and was taken to a hospital, Frank said. James Brown's publicist Simone Smalls declined to comment Wednesday. Brown served a 2 1/2-year prison term after a 1988 arrest on drug and assault charges and was convicted of a drug-related offense in 1998. He was granted a pardon by the state of Carolina in May 2003, forgiving him fully in the eyes of the law, meaning he longer has to deal with the consequences of his past crimes. Brown is known as the Godfather of Soul for a multitude of hits, including "I Got You (I Feel Good)," "Sex Machine" and "Living in America." In December, the singer was honoured at Washington, D.C.'s Kennedy Center as "one of the most influential musicians of the past 50 years."

WS grounds with rain TENS OF THOUSANDS TURN OUT FOR V2001 Tens of thousands of people turned out for the annual 'V' music extravaganza at the weekend, to see international stars including Nelly Furtado, Kylie Minogue, Wheatus, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Texas, Spooks and The Charlatans. V2001 is held in two cities on the same weekend, one in Leeds in the north of England and the other just outside London in Chelmsford, Essex. The acts on each day's entire bill swap locations, so the Saturday acts in Chelmsford play in Leeds on Sunday, and vice versa. APTN went to the Chelmsford site on Saturday to check out the festival, and talk to the stars that have attracted all the crowds. Indie band THE CHARLATANS once again played a festival crowd under a shadow. In 1996 they kept their performance commitments despite the death of their keyboard player Rob Collins, in a car accident. This year, the band confirmed their current keyboardist Tony Rogers has cancer. The 35-year-old was diagnosed with testicular cancer at the end of June and has been receiving treatment in a private clinic in the West Midlands. He has undergone radiotherapy and chemotherapy and has been responding to treatment well according to the band. The band were one of the headline acts, along with Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Texas and Coldplay. The latter two acts are making their return, with Texas having played in 1998, and Coldplay in 2000. Faithless, who caused controversy earlier this year, when the video for the single 'We Come 1' illustrated many young people clashing with police very much like the anti-capitalist protests, spoke out about police brutality in Genoa recently. Maxi Jazz said: "You can't believe that a grown man of 25, just because he's got a helmet and visor on, can not make out the difference between a woman sitting on the floor, I saw this woman sat on the floor take one massive... she just fell down and then 2 more people went past and as they went past they gave her one too. Shocking!" Other bands facing the crowds included NELLY FURTADO and WHEATUS, both delighted to be part of the festival. However, rain later in the day on Saturday failed to hamper the spirits of the crowds, even when it continued well into Sunday. Other stars include David Gray, JJ-72, The Avalanches, ex-Crowded House frontman Neil Finn and Doves. The day was marred, however, when man was arrested on suspicion of raping a 16-year-old girl in a beer tent during the pop festival, police said today. The girl,alleges she was raped in the Carling beer tent at the event in Hylands Park, Chelmsford, in the early hours of Sunday morning, a spokesman for Essex Police said.

Wide shot guests arriving STORYLINE: Wedding guests gathered at the secluded estate in upstate New York where Chelsea Clinton married her long time boyfriend investment banker Marc Mezvinsky on Saturday evening. Bill Clinton and Hillary Rodham Clinton announced in a statement that their daughter wed investment banker Marc Mezvinsky on Saturday after weeks of secrecy and buildup that had celebrity watchers flocking to the small village for the evening nuptials. Shortly before 5 pm (2100 GMT) dozens of men in black-tie attire and women in gowns boarded shuttle buses in the village of Rhinebeck for the short ride to the estate, Astor Courts. More than 400 guests attending the wedding, details of which were kept fanatically private, with shopkeepers, innkeepers, vendors and restaurateurs sworn to secrecy. A crowd began forming in the town on Saturday morning after weeks of intrigue and secrecy about a ceremony with a VIP guest list said to include such luminaries as Oprah Winfrey and Steven Spielberg. Actors Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen were walking hand-in-hand through the village, and fashion designer Vera Wang was spotted outside a restaurant. Officials restricted airspace over the estate, and the area will remain a no-fly zone until 3:30 a.m. local time Sunday. Roads were also blocked off, and inconvenienced neighbours were soothed with a complimentary bottle of wine. Chelsea Clinton and Mezvinsky were friends as teenagers in Washington, and both attended Stanford University. They now live in New York, where Mezvinsky works at G3 Capital, a Manhattan hedge fund. Mezvinsky worked previously at Goldman Sachs as an investment banker. Clinton completed her master's degree in public health earlier this year at the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University. Mezvinsky is a son of former US Representative Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky of Pennsylvania and Ed Mezvinsky of Iowa, longtime friends of the Clintons. His parents are divorced.

Wide of media filming Saxena as he is loaded on ambulance 5. Convoy of cars on road 6. Zoom in on Saxena inside ambulance as he is being wheeled out 7. Various shots of Saxena being wheeled into court building STORYLINE A fugitive former adviser to a Thai bank whose failure caused a crisis of confidence that helped spark the 1997 Asian financial meltdown was back in Bangkok on Saturday, facing prosecution after his extradition from Canada. Rakesh Saxena, 57, had staged one of the longest extradition battles in Canadian history to avoid being sent back to face charges he helped embezzle 88 (m) million US dollars from the Bangkok Bank of Commerce, which collapsed in 1995. The bank had about 3 (b) billion US dollars in bad debt when it was shut down. Saxena was a financial adviser to the bank, which made millions of dollars of fraudulent loans to cronies of the management. Its failure exposed the weaknesses of the Thai financial system, which had expanded meteorically with little oversight during Thailand's boom years, and helped trigger the devastating 1997 Asian financial crisis. The case continues to hold potential for causing trouble, because those who received dodgy loans include several still-prominent politicians. Politicians whose names were tied to the banking scandal include Newin Chidchob, influential head of a political faction in Thailand's current coalition government, and Pairote Suwannachawee, husband of Information and Communications Technology Minister Ranongrak Suwannachawee. Both have repeatedly denied any involvement. A spokesman for Thailand's Attorney General said Saxena, an Indian national, has over 20 cases pending against him under the Securities Exchange Act. Thailand's statute of limitations on charges under the law will run out in July 2010. Rakesh suffered a stroke last March and uses a wheelchair. Thai authorities originally charged Saxena in 1996 but he fled Thailand, and was arrested later that year in the British Columbia ski resort town of Whistler. He fought tenaciously against extradition, claiming he would be in danger if returned to Thailand because he could expose the wrongdoing of influential people. His lawyers early during his stay in Canada negotiated a deal under which he was allowed to stay in his own luxury apartment with guards that he was responsible for paying. He continued to carry out business deals around the globe during his detention, allegedly including the financing of an attempted coup in the African nation of Sierra Leone. However, he was later transferred to jail from house arrest.

Various of US Coast Guard helicopter rescuing people from flooded homes STORYLINE A storm that battered the US Pacific Northwest for two days has moved away, leaving behind flooded homes, fallen trees and washed-out roads, including the region's largest highway, which was covered with 10 feet (3 meters) of muddy water. The storm, which killed at least five people, lashed the area with high winds and heavy rain, and forced authorities to evacuate a flooded Oregon town that was cut off by landslides. Tens of thousands of people remain without power. In Washington State, police used small boats to evacuate neighbourhoods inundated by floodwaters from the Chehalis River. The same river left three miles (five kilometres) of Interstate 5 under water, closing the region's major north-south thoroughfare. Although rain eased overnight, runoff continued to feed the river, which crested at record highs, breaking a record from 1996, when flooding closed the freeway for four days. The storm, the last of three severe weather systems to hit the region, moved into British Columbia on Tuesday and began to dissipate, the National Weather Service said. The earlier storms carried heavy snow to the Upper Plains, the Midwest and the Northeast. Coast Guard crews continued to pluck stranded residents from flooded areas. A total of 131 people had been rescued as of Tuesday morning, with at least 40 of them hoisted by a Coast Guard helicopter, said spokeswoman Mandi Ruch in Seattle. Many schools and government offices were closed for a second day. Mudslides also halted Amtrak passenger service between Portland and Vancouver, British Columbia. Nearly 75-thousand customers lost power in Washington State and more than 50-thousand were still without power on Tuesday morning, officials said. In Oregon, Portland-based Pacific Power said about 36-thousand customers had no electricity. There were three deaths in Washington. A man in Mason County died on Monday night in a building hit by a mudslide; another died in Aberdeen when a tree fell on him and the third was killed in Montesano when an electrical outage shut off the oxygen equipment he needed, officials said. Meanwhile in Minnesota, a snowstorm that peaked in time for the evening commute slowed traffic to an agonising crawl on Tuesday. The drive home was double and often triple the normal time as Minnesota saw its second major snowfall of the season. A wide area from the northwest area received three to five inches of new snow on Tuesday on top of the four to 10 inches or more that fell across much of Minnesota on Saturday, when far fewer people had to be on the road. The department of transportation put about 2-hundred snow ploughs on the road on Tuesday, according to officials. Cars crept along the interstate as the ploughs tried to clear the roads. The State Patrol reported dozens of accidents, but only a few involving serious injuries. Many school districts cancelled games and other after-school and evening activities and some communities declared snow emergencies.
