  Jackson hits back at documentary with video
Updated 10 February 2003, 08.54
Michael Jackson
Pop king Michael Jackson is to hit back at a documentary about him by releasing his own video to show how he's been unfairly treated.

The short video was filmed by his own cameraman during the eight months journalist Martin Bashir spent with him making his programme, Living With Michael Jackson.

It apparently shows Bashir saying what a good father Jackson is and how well he treats children.

Living With Michael Jackson was shown on British and US TV last week. But Jackson, 44, was very upset about it.

He didn't like the way the programme showed him and his unusual way of living.

And he has complained it gave people the wrong impression about him and "could have led viewers to conclude that he abuses children".

Viewers saw him admit to having children as young as 12 around to stay at his house, in his bedroom. Many people don't think this is right.

But he insists he would "never harm a child".

Jackson's lawyers said the video would be released in the next 24 hours.
