a dozen armed militants escaped and are thought to have fled into nearby dense forests well the areas been sealed off with additional security troops closing in on the assailants russia's caucus's is seeing a spike in violence activity with a 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. and now let's check some other world news in brief this hour thousand said taken to the tripoli to voice their support for the libyan leader's defiance of nato bombings in a recorded audio message colonel gadhafi threatened attacks on the bench the coalition air strikes meanwhile the african union is calling on the member states to disregard the arrest warrant issued by the international criminal court against gadhafi but the e.u. says charges complicate efforts to find solutions to the libyan crisis.

defense who personalizes the cold war at its peak robert gates was anything but controversial and he has garnered full respect all across the board during his valedictory exit tour from of ghana stand all across europe and back to the united 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 one unfinished dream that is to finish the job keep initiated in his previous capacity as the cia chief when he opened up a pound or a box of extremism in pakistan and in afghanistan only to be called

back to duty almost thirty years later to eradicate the evidence which he's so carefully rared and groomed in his previous capacity as the cia chief as social media gives everyone a chance to play their part of any story it's been a communications revolution and grudging a mass uprising in some countries and cost of controversy and others with the perceived the lack of censorship artie's a resident in new york at the sidewalks to ask what people there think of the social networking seem. 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

looking a guy on facebook once and by mistake instead of writing his name and the such i put as my status that was all could i knew how many of these things very quickly i think everybody to really see did you learn your lesson yet people just pretty thing on their young girls young kids you know home addresses and everything like that i got a nice always you know open approach is a house no address 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's that's that's your life 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 about the 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 it's just a big giant oh ok it's cool 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 a more middle school that 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 that are nots and i think they always be fruitcakes 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 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 art of arm wrestling well some of these ladies have become a force to be reckoned with and as artie's muddied a question of a finds out they are determined to become international stars. there is little clue as to why this quite corner of russia and the north caucasus hide such a powerful secret because his 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. i'll be no cell of a began wrestling in 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 waning footsteps i've been as 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 if the sport was made part of their limpy games bringing more tension and financing competitive organized matches began in california in nineteen fifty two and soon gained real popularity on wrestling as one of the most peaceful calm the diff 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 so. that has a chance of winning right now i'm going to check it out myself. so it's thirty. standing hours of the gym being as trainee louise 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 stall 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 snuggles in almost all types of wrestling and with girls hands seemingly determined to break the stereotypes we could soon see more and more high hills making their way into the wrestling and arenas. the republic of north the sas here. now we have more for you on our website that's r.t. dot com go online for updates on all our stories new videos and much more and we're also covering the fifteenth exotic car show with moscow where we're at at black
