tour from again its day all across europe and back to that is states robert gates displayed unbelievable specter of sincerity and candor providing he's honest and unvarnished assessment of the united states strategic of all reach all across the globe this somehow i have a hunch that in his upcoming memoirs robert gates will explain his one unfinished dream that is to finish the job keith initiated in his previous capacity as the cia chief when he opened up a pound or a box both extremism in pakistan and in afghanistan only to be called back to duty almost thirty years later to eradicate big evidence which he so carefully rary and groomed in his previous capacity as the cia chief. social media gives everyone

are in my experience and if you put something on the internet people will watch and think that that's your life you know when when people could be seen 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 that's the new cool yet there's a shift in our culture going on for what a battle 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. as the world just become a giant high school yeah i would say yes we are all just a bit tired oh you know it's cool we all hate it so why do we want to live it every day that's a good question i think if you listen and it's almost even in a more middle school that sort of mean girl kind of being and i think even adults

getting. 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 at all smart you can if people would on months and i think it will be free cakes that put things on me that is just i'm hopeful in a home for 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 but now the local women are hot on their heels pumping iron in the gym and testing their limits to the max and the arch of arm wrestling some of these ladies have become a force to be reckoned with and as art has made a question of a finds out they are determined to become international stars. there is little clue as to why there's quite a corner of russia in the north caucasus clyde such

a powerful secret because his hair 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. i mean the go cell of a began wrestling in nine hundred ninety four that now she's clearly a super woman with town world and fourteen year old gold medals were 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 fall in her winning footsteps i've been his biggest concern though is that as poor it doesn't get the recognition she feels it deserves sometimes it was and we 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 and one thing that might change that would be the support was made point of their limpy games

bringing more tension and financing competitive organized imagines began in california in nineteen thirty two and soon gained real popularity arm wrestling as one of the most peaceful college of sport that actually doesn't require any special equipment and people of all ages have a real chance of winning if i did something quite simple their. entire. life has a chance of winning right now i'm going to check it for myself. i was certain it's an easy task standing out worse of the jam i've been as a trainee louise asked as she doesn't know if she'll ever have enough money to go to the championships but she never loses hope. we'd beat is an incorrect comparison but sport is like a swan for me once you get into there's simply no turning back i try to stop but i can't live without it and they will continue hoping that one they will be

recognised by the public. it seems like ooh cajun women are following hard on the successful heels of their man who take many of the world snuggles in almost all types of wrestling and with girls handsomely determined to break the stereotypes we could soon see more and more high heels making their way into the wrestling arenas . i don't know artsy the republic of north as such yet. but the star studded international film festival in moscow is coming to a suitably dramatic climax with the winner of the best film of being else our correspondent peter all over is there at the ceremony soaking up the glitz ever glamour. this year's winner of the coveted golden george awards is the movie of the waves directed by alberto baez it's a spanish movie the second year in a row that a spanish language movie has won the top prize here at the moscow international film festival last year it was the turn of every man also all brothers this year

though it's gone to the waves a movie set against the backdrop of the spanish civil war it's not the only prize not movies picks up carlos out of it is also taking the best actor prize at this year's festival so two words going to the spanish movie the waves the top prize for best film and also the best actor prize now there's also been plenty of other awards up for grabs and one person who's picked up one of those awards isn't a stranger to collecting gongs she's already got full blast is three golden globes for emmys amongst others including an academy award for best actress dame helen mirren the british actress has picked up the stanislaus here ward for acting excellence i mean mentally on it you know the names and saskia obviously two of us are sacked is enormous important you know easy possible really to say how important

an issue is now not just for here to acting obviously that was where his influence started but that then went on to film acting a real delight to talk to dame helen mirren early on she was telling us the. outright respect what she has for russian film and russian acting and how much of an owner it was to pick up that sound is love the award of course that she said silas loves so associated with with acting excellence and she's been altered with that going today a whole host of celebrities plenty of russian celebrities from stage screen and the world of sports as well as business in politics be represented here but also a whole host of international stars now i met up with the the director of the movie . which is closing out the ceremony the thrill of the date which dame helen mirren actually stars. the director john martin no you may know him from his movie shakespeare in love as well as captain corelli's mandolin he was here. due to soak

up the atmosphere for the first time you're saying at the moscow film festival also absolutely whole host of other people and the mcdowell had a few interesting comments to make about the green carpet of course the color you color for the carpet these type of events usually read the most. first of all going for green she was saying it's caused some problems when it comes to picking up perfect outfit i had a wonderful stylist that lives here in russia helped me pick out the trash and she brought me many dresses to choose from and i particularly like this one because it was like a piece of sculpture and it fit me perfect so i was happy to have it and she was a lovely lovely lady well it's not just on the mcdonald of course it had problems picking out what she was going to wear i agonized for hours and hours this morning about what i was going to put on to make sure i looked right for this i'm sure you can tell. now despite a great fight in the wimbledon final russian tennis star maria sharapova may not have won the cup this year but she's still an inspiration for an entire generation

of young players tennis is the twenty four year old player's greatest passion and she attracts a worldwide attention for her striking works as much as her sporting prowess arkenstone barton has been looking into the secret of sharapova success. that. was. because 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 the more since so when it wimbledon in two thousand and four maria mania has turned into a star off the court as well in features and catwalks she's joined the hall of fame jaw dropping russian tennis week but she only wants to talk about the tense but i told myself to just take it one point at a time and really focus and then i felt like i just kind of 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 players so what can these young russians think they can patriots example that. i think she's very positive and not everyone can have such operations patience is very important in tennis because it i've always liked her even when i was very young when i started playing because i wanted to be like her and now that all are telling me i'm playing like her love and like you i find a very strong inspiration from how i really like the way should plays she has very good technique she always fights until the end and never gives up one thing nobody can ignore about cheer up over. that brand or scream or whatever it is we decided to sample some of russia's future grimacing talent can make pete.

you can be one of the stars this club has turned out this catarina were called up she was rent a tier in world under eighteen ranking. but she forged her career in russia should out of those been in america too she was seven doesn't that lessen her inspirational appeal oh. it's rush she is rush what else do you need to. continue working harder i might have to put in a few more hours oneself. ok so i probably couldn't even beat these kids at a game of tennis but that's because they're out here every day practicing driven on by heroes like maria sharapova or maybe because i haven't mastered the all important run of. about was tom barker screaming away for us oh i'll be back with
