'Agent' Putin returns to Dresden  
By Steve Rosenberg 
BBC News, Berlin  
 
President Putin was a KGB agent in Dresden during the 1980s 
In a hundred-year-old villa on the edge of Dresden, manager of the local
community centre Kerstin Wechter gives me a tour of the building. 
This is no ordinary community centre. 
"See those holes in the door frames?" Kerstin says. 
"They used to be packed with bugging devices" 
We go into the yard and Kerstin opens an outside door. 
"This is where the Soviet guards used to sit" she says, pointing to some
broken chairs. 
Agent Putin 
House No.4 on Angelikastrasse was once the Soviet KGB's Dresden HQ. 
It was a building where Soviet secret agents used to spy on each other, as
well as on the West. And among the officers based here in the 1980s was
Agent Vladimir Putin. 
This week Mr Putin returned to Dresden - not as a spy, but as president of
Russia. Despite his past as a KGB officer, Kerstin says she is pleased by
the visit. "Mr Putin's heart beats for Germany," she tells me. 
Not everyone agrees. 
Russian 'vampire' 
On the streets of Dresden I meet human rights campaigners. They are
holding a giant portrait of Vladimir Putin, depicting the Russian
president as a vampire, sinking his teeth into Russian democracy. 
 
Germany is Russia's most important EU trading partner 
They are calling on the German government to put criticism of Putin's
Russia, ahead of co-operation. 
"Step by step, Vladimir Putin is abolishing democracy and freedom of the
press," says Tilman Zulch, who is leading the protest. 
"If our country, our businessmen have no intention to change the situation
and co-operate with Russia just for profit, that's not enough" 
Trading partners 
But Germany is co-operating with the Kremlin. 
It is Russia's biggest trading partner in the EU; Germany gets more than a
third of its gas from Russia and the two countries are working together to
build a pipeline that will bring more Russian gas to Western Europe under
the Baltic Sea. 
 
Agent Putin lived in an apartment block at 101 Radebergerstrasse  
True, Mr Putin's relations with Chancellor Angela Merkel do not seem as
cosy as they were with the previous German leader Gerhard Schroeder. 
Unlike Mr Schroeder, Mrs Merkel has voiced some criticism of Russia - but
not loud enough to cloud the Russian-German relationship. 
Foreign policy expert Alexander Rahr believes there is no point
criticising Russia - the Kremlin will not listen anyway. 
"Harsh criticism didn't work towards China, it won't work with Russia,"
Alexander Rahr believes. 
"It might have worked in the 1990s, but now Russia is different, stronger
and more confident. We need a partnership of patience towards Russia. The
more we try to force changes on Russia, the more Russia will take a very
defensive attitude to the West." 
As a spy in Dresden, Vladimir Putin witnessed Russia's weakest moment -
the collapse of its empire which had extended right across Eastern Europe. 
Today he is the leader of an increasingly powerful and wealthy country
which is in no mood to be lectured by the West.

Già. Con Putin la "musica" è cambiata e alla BBC mica sono fessi del tutto
come il porginatiche romano-londinese dei nazisti di Tartu . LOL

 'Agent' Putin returns to Dresden 
Che edificante, sta carriera di modesto eroe sovietico.
 Di sicuro pero' all'epoca non baciava pancini, almeno quando era in 
servizio.
Oh tempora, oh mores!
Ma tu non imparerai da lui, vero Sergei?
Am.

  Di sicuro pero' all'epoca non baciava pancini,
tu invece gia' eri oltre eh  ?
Sei scappato da Londra a Roma per qualche motivo?

Bath rape accused 'is paedophile' 
The six-year-old girl was found in a back alley 
A 35-year-old man accused of snatching a six-year-old girl from a bath 
and raping her is a convicted paedophile, Newcastle Crown Court has 
heard. 
Peter Voisey, of Blyth, Northumberland, denies abduction, rape and 
sexual assault in Willington Quay, North Tyneside, on 27 December last 
year. 
The jury heard he molested a girl, aged 12, in the changing rooms of a 
leisure centre in Macclesfield, in July 2001. 
He admitted indecent assault and was convicted in September that year. 
Freezing alley 
During nine days of evidence, the Newcastle Crown Court jury have heard 
how the six-year-old was taken from the bathroom of her flat and driven 
away by an intruder on 27 December. 
She was subjected to two serious sexual assaults before she was dumped 
naked and shivering in a freezing back alley. 
The defence case has yet to open. The trial continues
