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 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. and you can read you get a blog at our website where you can also find plenty of other stories including the battles on the frontline tells the story of two palestinian women commanding groups of all men fighting to break the gaza blockade. and also online as more markets become addicted to medicines we ask the drug store is replacing the liquor store in

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 his 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 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 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 for myself. so it's thirty. standing hours of the gym i'll be in 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 occasion 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 hills making their way into the

wrestling arenas. my you know our city the republic of north. later in the program another super woman russia star mary sharapova easily defined by her and comparable scream still remains a symbol of success for a generation of young players despite her wimbledon final defeat. but fair to say that international film festival in moscow has come to a dramatic climax with the way you know the best film being announced correspondent peter all of us was dead this ceremony. this year's winner of the coveted golden george award is the movie the waves directed by alberto maya's it's a spanish movie the second year in a row that a spanish language movie has won the top prize here at the moscow international film festival last year it was the turn of adam on all sold brothers this year though it's gone to the waves a movie set in the case against the backdrop of the spanish civil war it's not the

only prize not movies picks up carlos out of it is also taken the best actor price at this year's festival so two awards going to the spanish movie the waves the top prize for best film and also the best actor prize now there's also been plenty of other awards up for grabs in one person who's picked up one of those awards isn't a stranger to collecting gongs she's already got four buff does three golden globes for emmys amongst others including an academy award for best actress dame helen mirren the british actress has picked up the stanislav ski award for acting excellence i mean mentally on it you know the name stanley saskia obviously to our . last act is if you enormous import the united states if possible really to say how important standard task is now not just for theater acting obviously that was where his influence started but but then went on to film acting

a whole host of celebrities plenty of russian celebrities from stage screen and the world of sports as well as business and politics be represented here but also a whole host of international stars now i met up with the the director of the movie which is closing out the ceremony the espionage thrill at the desk which dame helen mirren actually stars. the director john martin no you may know him from his movie shakespeare in love as well as captain corelli's mandolin he was. due to soak up the atmosphere for the first time you're saying at the moscow film festival. also absolute a whole host of other people and the mcdowell had a few interesting comments to make about the the green carpets of course the color you color for the carpet these type of events usually read the. festival going to green she was saying it's caused some problems when it comes to picking up perfect outfits i had a wonderful stylist that lives here in russia helped me pick out the dress and she

brought me many dresses to choose from and i particularly liked this one because it was like a piece of sculpture and it fit me perfect so i was happy to have it and she was a lovely lovely lady well it's not just on the macdonald of course it had problems picking out what she was going to wear i argue nice 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 tell. the russian turn it down maria sharapova may know how won wimbledon base here but she's still remains an inspiration for many players worldwide she won the tournament when she was just seventeen since one striking looks as well as her kinetic prowess has won her fame both on and off the court. and has been trying to find the secret of success. was. that. 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 move since her win at wimbledon in two thousand and four maria mania has turned into a star off the court as well in peaches and catwalks she's joined the hall of fame with jaw dropping russian tennis woman but she only wants to talk about the tense i told myself to just take it one point at a time and really focus and then i thought ok this 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 star players so what do these young russians think of their compatriots example that. i think she's very positive and not everyone could have such patients patience is very important in tennis as if 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 god no i think 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 send some of russia's future granting talent can make compete. because one of the stars this club has turned out is catarina pulled up she was ranked eightieth in world under eighteen ranking. but she forged her career in russian children out of has been in america since she was seven doesn't that lessen her inspirational appeal oh yes it's russian she is

a russian what else do you need to be. talking of working harder i might have to put in a few more hours more so. ok so i probably couldn't even beat these kids for the game of tennis but that's because they're out here every day practicing driven on by heroes like maria sharapova so maybe it's because i haven't mastered the all important grown. up. that i was to involved in creating for our team mascot. social media has brought about a communications revolution and has also helped spark revolutions as well being used as a tool to avoid government censorship and organize protest in the arab world this year but is everyone to find out his own resident reporter in new york his face sidewalks to ask what people that think.

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 rising his name and the such i put as my status that was all could i knew how to meet these things very quickly adding everybody to already 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. open opposite 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 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 yet we would say yes we are all just a big giant but we owe a high school 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 thing and i think even adults get into the bullying just 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're going to have people that are smart you can have people that are not and i think they'll always be fruitcakes that put things on the that is just unhelpful and home . and hurtful 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. care of today natasha will bring you sports news in just twenty minutes time and all of us can a few moments with a recount of the top stories this. the
