a spike in violent activity with the number of terror attacks going up by a third in the last few months special operations by government forces have seen over two hundred militants killed this year. thousands of libyans have taken to the streets to voice their support for colonel gadhafi as defiance of nato bombings of tripoli in a recorded message gadhafi addressed what was the largest demonstration in libya since the alliance began its campaign in march he threatened attacks on europe in revenge for nato strikes when it comes to france confirmed it has supplied the rebels with weapons criticize the new and head out of the way the u.n. resolution on libya has been interpreted invested just as one of the top leaders in the living capitals of russia need to take countermeasures to outweigh the illegal actions of coalition forces. the nato operation is already flagrantly illegal because of the way they're there they're violating let me put it this way the resolution violates the charter and nato is violating the resolution they've got

a blockade growing here. is used to protect. packed full of al qaida and other terrorists and it's used to attack civilians i've seen homes here where four or five little children essentially. preschool kids were killed in the middle of the night launched by aircraft and forty thousand feet that is a very cowardly way to wage war so we're in the midst now of international and certainly countries like russia would be very well advised to do something urgently to try to restore the rule of international law and that would mean. more energetic measures against what the united states britain and france are doing. i kept asking janice webster tarpley that talking to us from tripoli on the way some ladies you wouldn't want to mess with. as it turns out arm wrestling is not just for the guys here in russia's north caucuses more and more

women are getting a new t.v. ad now we managed to wrestle the secrets of some of this course super women. now a style started international film festival in moscow is heading for a seat of the dramatic climax it's now only a matter of hours before the judges and else the best villainous cross live to our correspondent peter all of you think you have all the glitz and the glamour for us out the claim many people was happy all the red carpet right now give us some names which movie stars have you seen already. well there's been quite a few coming down the green carpet i must out i'll get to why it's green or one of the problems it's caused being green in just a few moments but yes we've seen and the mcdowell coming down here also john martin the director of the movie that is closing out the festival that's the debt it's a spy thriller a set around the israeli spy network very very highly anticipated movie i'm going

to be able to see that myself also dame helen mirren the star of that movie as well as a whole host of russian celebrities from stage screen and this world of sports as well now i mentioned this green carpet they might be able to see people walking past me don't know if i was the organizers when i was speaking to you last week at the opening ceremony why it was green i couldn't get an answer then i finally being told announcer unfortunately answer is terribly boring one thing that isn't boring is some of the problems that apparently it's been causing for for women trying to get ready because they're. putting on costumes for the the red carpet walk as it were apparently green is a terrible color you have. picture taken again so a lot of stressing inforcing is going into making sure that they have the the right dress so that when the paparazzi snap goes off they look out their best of course when i found this so it's i was also going to a similar stretch to make sure that i was wearing the right garments to make sure

that my shorts would look just as good against this green background some of the professional some of the stars they had professional help and picking out their costumes. i've always wanted to visit have been very lucky to be invited to see had an incredible experience to get to see this beautiful city and i'm very surprised with the weather you know you're very fortunate to live in such a. gorgeous city i went inside the kremlin and got to see inside the kremlin i learn because it was closed and. they architecture is amazing it's an incredible there's like no other place it's unique uniquely russian and that was one of the things i look forward to to see with the architecture because you're so famous for your architecture it's a wonderful festival. well of course they wouldn't have any need to be putting on those glamorous dresses if it wasn't for the thousands of people who've been coming out to watch the movies now we were talking to the legendary russian directed

nikita mikhail of who is the president of the festival he was telling us that it's really been literally standing room only in some of the theaters over the past week to see the movies sixty thousand people turned out to see the movies that have been on display and i'm sure he has missed out the president of the festival actually missed out on being able to see some of the things he wanted to see because there was that much. not many people wanting to get into the theaters so he was saying no reason why next year we're going to make it even bigger and even better well of course apart from the crandon a crime as he was saying all of the movie well this festival is about the films themselves that he's fit to pick up the ball. well of course what this festival is all about is who picks up the festival award the golden george the golden statuette of st george slaying the dragon the same george goes the symbol of moscow excuse me . that will be announced in

a few moments time if i had to pick one of the many movies that are up for it my money goes on american translation a french love story with a bit of a twist certainly a bit of a twist when it turns out that one of the people in this young couple has a point for murdering people so it is a really entertaining thriller i managed to see that you're in the week top quality film is something that i so to get my tips for picking up the golden george of course there are other other awards being handed out today dame helen mirren will be picking up essentially a lifetime acting achievement award the stanislav ski award for excellence in acting throughout the korea shows talking to her just a few moments ago just before speaking to you when she was saying she's very excited about picking up this award i'm very excited about contributing to making the moscow film festival one of the best in the world more good luck with bossing that piece unfortunately for you that green carpet does much more microphone rather nicely say no worries me that i gave her all of our reporting on the thirty third international mosque a film festival so much. now social media gives everyone

a child to play that part in any story has been a communication revolution encouraging mass uprising in some countries and causing controversy in others where the perceived lack of censorship resident in new york hit the sidewalks to all school people there think of the social networking scene. in today's social media driven world you can post whatever hate speech doctored photos or other nonsense you want with virtually no consequences how do you feel about that defining our times this week let's talk about that i was as still king a guy on facebook once and by mistake instead of rising his name into the search i put as my status was all good i knew got me these things very quickly having everybody to already see did you learn your lesson yeah yeah people just pretty thing on their young girls young kids you know home addresses and everything like that i got

a nice. open opposite. people see what you show them not what you actually are in my experience and if you put something on the internet people will watch and think that she said she would like you know when when people could be sitting at home doing nothing for a whole weekend they might just make things up just to make themselves more interesting a lot of people tend toward being snotty or rude and they've been taught through television and other media that that's that's the new cool yet there's a shift in our culture going on. that'll change as people start to understand that they end result of that is isolate you isolate yourself when you do that kind of stuff we need to be center of attention something that as the world just become a giant high school yeah i would say yes we are all a just a big giant but we owe a high school we all hated it so why do we want to live it every day that's a good question that's a good question and it's almost even in the more middle school that's sort of mean girl kind of thing and i think even adults get into the bullying which is kind of

sad but do you think that as we grow as a society people will get smarter about what to post or will it just get worse and worse i think people always be people you're going to have people that are smart you can have people it on months and i think they always be fruitcakes that put things on they that is just unhelpful and home. regardless of how you feel about the pitfalls of social media the bottom line is it's probably going to get a lot worse before it gets better if it ever. rushes a call because this region is known for its outstanding male west now the local women are hot on the hills going on in the gym and testing their limits to the max and the art of wrestling some of these ladies have become a force to be reckoned with. but if a quarter of a finds out that haven't become international. there is little clue as to why

this quite cool enough russia in the north caucasus hide such a powerful secret because there's hand that we find perhaps some of the strongest women in the country but they're hoping their arm wrestling talents will one day be shared with the world in the olympic arena. silva began wrestling in one thousand nine hundred ninety four but now she's clearly a super woman with town world and fourteen year old gold medals born in a small village in the mountains she says that she has achieved everything she wished for and now it's time for a younger generation to follow in her winning footsteps i've been his biggest concern though is that this poor doesn't get the recognition she feels it deserves sometimes we simply don't have money to go to the championships after training so hard young girls are losing the stimulus to continue when they hear that there is no chance for them to go unless they collect the money themselves one thing that might change that would be the support was made point of their limpy games bringing

more tension and financing competitive organize matches began in california in nineteen fifty two and soon gained real popularity arm wrestling as one of the most peaceful converts of sport that actually doesn't require any special equipment and people of all ages. i have a real chance of winning this i did something quite simple there it is the time. that anyone has a chance of winning right now i'm going to check it for myself. the. boys search the term easy try. standing o. worse in the gym i've been as a trainee. she doesn't know if she'll ever have enough money to go to the championships but she never loses hope. maybe it is an incorrect comparison but sport is like a swamp for me once you get into there's simply no turning back i tried to start

but i can't live without it and they will continue hoping that one day he will be recognized by the public. it seems like kook asian women are following hard on the successful heels of their man who take many of the world's models in almost all types of wrestling and with girls' hair seemingly determined to break the stereotypes we could soon see more and more high hills making their way into the wrestling arenas. the republic of north the south. it's time now to check on some other international news in brief this hour the syrian president decided to kill official after friday's anti regime demonstrations believed to have been the biggest yet but shah saad signed a decree removing the governor of the central city of hama from office tens of thousands took to the streets nationwide rejecting ourselves promises of reform and demanding an end to his order for terry and activists say the government crackdown

get out on the grass in the wimbledon final attracting attention by striking looks as much as sporting prowess the twenty four year old has become the inspiration for an entire generation of tennis players has been looking into the secrets of the success. the russians call it big tennis to distinguish it from ping pong much to the amusement of foreigners but now russia's racket wielding darling has made it to the biggest tennis tournament of the more i reassured upriver is in the womb final again it's a great feeling and been many years but it's a really great feeling here today i was at my best match of the championship so really happy to get through in two sets but. it's pretty amazing when they're going to stage since her win at wimbledon in two thousand and four maria mania has turned

sharapova into a star off the court as well on beaches and catwalks she's joined the hall of fame with jaw dropping russian tennis woman but she only wants to talk about the tennis i told myself to just take it one point at a time and really focus and then i felt like a disco got in my zone so we went down to one of moscow's toughest young tennis tournaments the club here claims to be the home of tomorrow's stuff players so what do these young russians think of their compatriots example that. i think she's very positive and not everyone could have sasha patients patients is very important in tennis as if i've always liked her even when i was very young i started playing because i wanted to be like her and now that all are telling me i'm playing like her but i have no idea what i find very strong inspiration from her i really like the way she plays she has very good technique she always fights until the end and never gives up one thing nobody can ignore about shut up over. that grant or

scream or whatever it is we decided to sample some of russia's future grunting talent can make complete. they're. there. because one of the stars this club has turned out this cancer in a pool that she was rent eighty in world under eighteen rankings but she forged her career in russia sure enough of us been in america since she was seven doesn't that lessen her inspirational appeal but. it's russian she is a russian what else do you need to keep. talking of working harder i might have to put in a few more hours myself. ok so i probably couldn't even beat these kids for the

game of tennis but that's because they're out here every day practicing driven on by heroes like maria sharapova oh maybe because i haven't mastered the all important run. up. and they're screaming for a. headline. all coming away here on. be

a. lemon live at least some. say say. and .
