it this way the resolution violates the charter and nato is violating the resolution they've got a sea blockade going here nato air power is used to protect armed gangs 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 by right there that would think that is a very cowardly way to wage war so we're in the midst of international and certainly countries like russia would be very well advised to do something urgently to try to the store the rule of international law and that would mean. more energetic measures against what the united states britain and france are doing. investigative journalist webster tarpley there talking to us from tripoli. as social media gives everyone a chance to play their part in any story that's been

are in my experience and if you put something on the internet people will watch and think that's best that your life you know 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 for a battle that will change as people start to understand that they end result of that is isolate you isolate yourself and you do that kind of stuff we need to be center of attention. as the world has become a giant high school yeah i would say yes we are all of the things i and 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 reason and it's almost even in a more middle school that's sort of mean girl kind of being 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 kept worse than what i think people will always be people you're going to have people that are smart you can have people that are not and i think it will be fruitcakes that put things on the that is just and hopeful 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 does. russia's caucasus region is known for its outstanding male wrestlers now the local women are hot on their heels conquering iron in the gym and testing their limits to the max and the art of arm wrestling some of these ladies have become a force to be reckoned with as a quarter of a finds out there determined to become international stars. there is a little clue as to why there's quite a coup on our russia in the north caucasus kaiser's you powerful secret because his hair there we find perhaps some of the strongest women in the country but they're
