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 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 eval which is so carefully rared and groomed the. chief social media has brought about a communications revolution and has also helped spark revolution new being used other soaps are void government censorship and organize protests in the arab world

this year that is everyone a foreign parties are in there with residents reporting you will have big sidewalks to ask people that thang. 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 about my own facebook once and by mistake and surprising his name in the search i put as my status was all quests i knew how to meet nice things very quickly adding everybody to already see did you learn your lesson yeah yeah people just pretty thing on here young girls young kids you know home addresses and everything like i got a nice. open approach is that. 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's actually 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 for about 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 it's just a big giant and we all hate school 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'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's

a post or will it just get worse and worse i think people always be people you can have people at all smart you can have people who don't nots and i think it will be fruit cakes that put things on the there is just i'm 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. rushes caucasus region is known for its outstanding male wrestlers but now the local women are hot on their heels pumping iron in the dream and testing the limits to the marks in the art of all wrestling some of these ladies have become a force to be reckoned with as autism and finds out her term and to become international star. there is little clue as to why this quiet corner of russia and the north caucasus clyde such a powerful secret but as his hand there we find perhaps some of the strongest women

gained real popularity arm wrestling as one of the most peaceful converts 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 so bothered. by the feeling of winning right now i'm going to check it for myself. oh it's certain it's an easy time. standing out worse of the jam i've been as trainee louise as 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 start but i can't live without it and there will continue hoping that one b. will be recognized by the public. it seems like caucasian women are following hard

on the successful heels of their man who take many of the world's models in almost all types of wrestling and with girls' hair seemingly determined to break the stereotypes we could soon see more in more high heels and making their way into the wrestling arenas. i didn't know arty republic of north to south asia. and later in the program another sort of woman. get this is russia tennis star maria sharapova easily defined by her and comparable screen so remains a symbol of success the generation of young players just prior to wimbledon final to. the fair thirty third international film festival in moscow has counted to its a dramatic climax would be when all the best film being announced and our correspondent peter all of that was that if there really are. this year's winner of the coveted golden george award is the movie of the waves directed by alberto why

find the secret of success. that. was. tough on the russians call it big tennis to distinguish it from a ping pong match to the amusement of foreigners but now russia's racket wielding darling has made it to the biggest tennis tournament of the moral sense so when it wimbledon in two thousand and four maria mania has turned sharapova into a star off the court as well on peaches and catwalks she's joined the hall of fame with jaw dropping russian tennis from which she only wants to talk about the tennis but i told myself to just take it one point at a time and really focus. and 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 stop players so what do these young russians think of their

compatriots example. i think she's very positive and not everyone could have sasha patients patience is very important in tennis. i've always liked her even when i was very young i started playing because i wanted to be like her and now that all are telling me i'm playing like her. i think i find very strong inspiration from her i really like the way she plays she has very good technique choice fights until the end and never gives up one thing nobody can ignore about shut up over. that agreement or scream or whatever it is we decided to sample some of russia's future growth and saying talent can make a pete. thank you one of the stars this club has turned out this catarina or pool that she was
