Russian journalist's death was faked in order to foil assassination attempt

Russian journalist Arkady Babchenko, who was reported to have been killed in Kiev, has shown up at a news conference in Ukraine.

Russian journalist Arkady Babchenko has turned up at a news conference in the Ukrainian capital less than 24 hours after police reported he had been shot and killed at his Kiev apartment building.
