Russian strongman Valdimir Putin has reportedly saved a TV crew from the jaws of a tiger by shooting it with a tranquilliser gun.

Now the Russian leader has set his sights on Canberra, warning Australia not to renege on a deal to sell Russia uranium. This comes after our Foreign Minister, Stephen Smith, said Canberra would take Russia's aggression in Georgia into account before signing off on the billion-dollar deal.
