strategic overreach all across the globe somehow i have a hunch that in his upcoming memoirs robert gates will explain his one unfinished dream that is to finish the job he 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 really get a big deal which is so carefully rared and groomed in his previous capacity as the cia chief. social media gives everyone a chance to play their part in any story it's been a communication of revolution encouraging a mass uprising in some countries and causing controversy in others with a perceived lack of censorship larges on resident in new york at the sidewalks to

ask what 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 talking of i own facebook once and by mistake instead of rising his name into the search i put as my status. as i knew harmony things very quickly getting everybody to really see did you learn your lesson yeah yeah people just putting things on the young girls young kids you know home addresses and everything like that i got a nice. open approaches and. 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 that set 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 about a battle 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 something that is the world just become a giant high school yeah i would say yes we are all it's just a big giant wheel it's called we all hated it so why do we want to live it every day that's a good question because you know 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's a post or will it just get worse and worse i think people will always be people

you're going to have people at all smart you can have people who don't nots and i think it will be fruitcakes that put things on me that is just unhelpful and home. regardless of how you feel about the pitfalls of social media the bottom line is that 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 and the art of arm wrestling well some of these ladies have become a force to be reckoned with and as our question of a finds out they are determined to become international stars. there is little clue as to why there's quite quanell flusher in the north caucasus hides issue powerful secrets because his hands are we find perhaps some of the strongest women in the country but they're hoping their arm wrestling talents will one day be

one of the most peaceful convert of spirit 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 there. and. that's what has the chance of winning right now i'm going to check it for myself a. good circuit city to top. standing hours of the gym i've been as a trainee luisa 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 swan for me once you get into it there's simply no turning back i tried to start but i can't live without it and they will continue hoping that one the will will be recognised by the public. it seems like a location women are following hard on the successful heels of their man can take
