Former Agriprocessors manager Sholom Rubashkin asks in a motion filed Tuesday that his trial be moved to St. Paul, Minn., or Chicago because he can't get a fair trial in Iowa.

According to the study, 66% of seculars think that the media coverage of the haredi sector is unfair and unbalanced, and effectively contributes to fueling tensions between the different sectors in Israeli society.
