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 of extremism in pakistan and in afghanistan only to be called back to duty almost thirty years later to eradicate evidence which he so carefully rared and groomed in his previous capacity as the cia chief. social media has brought about a communications revolution and has also helped spark revolution to being used as a tool to avoid government censorship and organize protests. but is everyone a fan. every resident report a new york had the sidewalks to ask people that. 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 stalking a guy on facebook once and by mistake instead of rising his name into the search i put as my status was all good i knew got me these things very quickly i think everybody to really see did you learn your lesson people just pretty thing on 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 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 that'll change as people start to understand that day and 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. but i would say yes we are all just a big giant wheel hey you know 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 the more middle school that sort of mean girl kind of being in. and i think even adults get into the bully which is. 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 all smart you can have people who don't much and i think that always be fruitcakes that put things on the that is just unhelpful in the 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 to hold on the hills pumping on and the dream and testing the limits to the mosques and the all out of all wrestling some of these ladies have become a force to be reckoned with he's going to find out her term and to become international stage. there is little clue as to why this quiet 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 winning footsteps i've been as biggest concern though is that the support 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 attention and financing competitive organized matches began in california in nineteen fifty two and soon gained real popularity arm wrestling as one of the most peaceful convert of sport that actually doesn't require any special equipment and people of all ages have a real chance of winning if i did them in quite some. time. that

i had the chance of winning right now i'm going to check it out myself. so it's thirty. standing hours of the gym i've been 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 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 day we will be recognised by the public. it seems like kasian 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 and more high heels making their way into the wrestling arenas. the republic of north the size here.

was like a piece of sculpture and it fit me perfect so i was happy to have it and she was lovely and lovely lady well it's not just on the macdonald of course it had problems picking out what she was going to wear i agonized but i was a nose this morning about what i was going to put on to make sure i looked right for this i'm sure you can sell. any style maria sharapova and they know how won wimbledon this year but she still remains an inspiration for many players worldwide she won the tournament when she was just seventeen when her striking looks as well as her athleticism has won her both on and off the court he's toned barter has been trying to find the secret of success. that was. 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 of the more since her win at wimbledon in two thousand and four maria mania has turned sharapova into a star off the court as well on beaches and catwalks she's joined the hall of fame with jaw dropping russian tennis woman but she only wants to talk about the tennis i told myself to just take it one point at a time and nearly focus and then a disco 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 stuff players so what do these young russians think of their compatriots example. i think she's very positive and not everyone could have such 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'm

like you know i find very strong inspiration from her i really like the way she plays she has very good technique she always fights until the end and never gives up one thing nobody can ignore about shut up over. that grant or scream or whatever it is we decided to sample some of russia's future granting talent can make complete. because one of the stars this club has turned out is catarina pulled up she was ranked eighty in world under eighteen ranking. but she finished her career in russia actually wrath of us being in america she she was seven doesn't that lessen her inspirational appeal oh she's so russian she is russian was else do you

need to. talk to you working harder i might have to put in a few more hours more so. 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 home by heroes like maria sharapova well maybe it's because they haven't mastered the all important role. and you can check out more news and eye catching videos on our website r.t. dot com like rev up to fifteen exotic can't show in moscow where weird and wacky meets fast and furious at the annual motoring event which has opened its doors to the public. telephone line of bengal tiger abandoned by his mother has become the main attraction at is it in russia's year old now even with his own twitter page.
