disregard the arrest warrant issued by the international criminal court against gadhafi who says the charges complicate efforts to find solutions to the libyan crisis. and syrian president has sacked a key official after friday's anti regime demonstrations are believed to have been the biggest yet president bashar al assad has signed a decree removing the governor of the something the city of hama from office tens of thousands took to the streets nationwide rejecting assad's promises of reform and demanded an end to this of forward to our unity activists say the government crackdown which began in march has claimed almost. fifteen hundred lights. at least thirteen members of the family died when a roadside bomb struck their mini bus in a southern afghanistan the group including two children were thought to be afghan refugees returning from pakistan and through the volatile border area roadside bombs planted by taliban militants are commonly used to be contrary and elsewhere

in afghanistan a local council member was killed by two gunmen opened fire from a motorbike. police in bahrain have fired tear gas at hundreds of anti-government protesters denouncing peace talks between the sunni led government and the shiite opposition that's according to reports the dialogue follows months of violent protests that claimed over thirty lives the shiite community in a bahrain claims it's discriminated against by the sunni majority thousands more to support it nationwide demonstrations demanding their political representation. now leon panetta has been sworn in as the new u.s. defense secretary replacing robert gates would held a position for over four years well you're a dishonest pentagon chief gates struggle to bring about victory in iraq and afghanistan military contributors says the retired defense secretary actually helped nurture the taliban in the first place. for our generation of the cold war

warriors on the both sides in the united states and in russian federation it is robert gates there i would go in secretary of defense who personalizes the cold war had its peak robert gates was anything but controversial and he has garnered full respect all across the board during his valedictory exit tour from again a stand all across europe and back to divided states robert gates displayed unbelievable specter of sincerity and candor providing he's honest and unvarnished assessment of the united states strategic overreach all across the globe and somehow i have a hunch that in his upcoming memoirs robert gates will explain his run unfinished dream that is to finish the job keep initiated in his previous

passerby as the cia chief when he opened up at the pound or a box of extremism in pakistan and in afghanistan only to be called back to duty almost thirty years later. which she so carefully rared and proved in his previous capacity as the cia chief. a social media gives everyone a chance to play their part in any story it's been a communication revolution encouraging mass uprisings in some countries and cost of controversy and others with a perceived lack of censorship largely as a resident in new york at the sidewalks ask what people there think of the social networking see. 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 you feel about

that finding our times this week let's talk about that i was talking a guy on facebook once and by mistake instead of rising his name and such i put as my status was all i could i knew how many things very quickly i think everybody to really say did you learn your lesson yet people just putting the thing on here young girls young kids you know home addresses and everything like 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 i don't think that's that's that's 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 that's the new cool yet there's a shift in our culture going on but that'll 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 that as the world just become a giant high school yeah i would say yes we are all just a big giant oh a high school we all hate it so why do we want to live it every day that's a good question because in and it's almost even in a more middle school that 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 get worse and worse i think people always be people you're going to have people that are smart you can if people that are not and i think it will be free cakes that put things on the 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 it every day.

of 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 the art of arm wrestling some of these ladies have become a force to be reckoned with as artist medina questionable finds out they're determined to become international stars. there is a little clue as to why this quiet corner of russia and the north caucasus clyde says you powerful secret because there's hair there 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 and arena. and we know who sell of again wrestling in nine hundred ninety four but now she's clearly a super woman with town world and fourteen year old gold medals worn 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 and winners biggest concern though is that those poor doesn't get the recognition she feels a 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 sport was made part of their lengthy games bringing in one tension and financing competitive organizing maja's began in california in nineteen thirty two and soon gained real popularity arm wrestling as one of the most peaceful converts of score 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 out myself. oh

it's certain it's an easy time. standing out worse in the gym as training as she doesn't know if she'll average have enough money to go to the championships but she never loses hope. maybe it is an incorrect comparison but sport is like a swan for me once you get into there is simply no turning back i tried to start but i can't live without it and they will continue hoping that one they will be recognised by the public. it seems like an occasion women are following hard on the successful heels of their man can take many of the world's models in almost all types of frustrating and with girl's hands seemingly determined to break the stereotypes we could soon see more in more high heels and making their way into the rest lane and arenas. i didn't know artsy republican for this is you. know we have more for you on our website r.t.
