taxed as a breach of international law with deliberate strikes of hospitals and how for it, because it will crime under the geneva conventions to which, as well as the signet tree of how the speaking of international law. we believe that the events that occurred in lebanon by all criteria, including the detonation of pagers and actions by eva sion violate international laws and can be classified as war crimes, especially against civilians and children. under the pretext of the presence of armed groups in the area, international law and human rights norms do not allow for justification of attacks on civilians under any circumstances. talking, taking a whole switch or the is a war crime, but has been able to do so within pregnancy, leaving many wondering whether it is well whatever be held accountable for these options. this is these really for auntie in southern lebanon. and that is a rock for the news run on this the last week, end of february. thanks for your company. i hope you can join us again. this is

your introduction, the in february 2020 to ukraine, the game, the world's number one new story for ukraine, new brand, new credit, brand new crane question. truth invaded ukraine named one perspective, ukraine suffering from russian aggression. we seen the main stream media and the night in the numerous were citing clean developed scripts that essentially say exactly the same thing using the buzz words of this is a threat to our democracy. when you see 10 different channels a exactly that sentence. you know that it's the central intelligence agency script, the role of p r firms, the ukraine throughout europe and into did states really can't be overstated if

it's quite different than it wasn't previous decades. where there used to be more of a covert role of propaganda. government propaganda operations. now this is just celebrated as p r in helping ukraine and helping get their message out times because who's pulling the strings and who is profiting the the

is wanting for you which school it's combined to elements of folly acrobatics. and the on trauma is, of course, business gymnastics, and this episode of and visions putting to find out just what it takes to be the best of the best, the getting the alexander of the thank you so much for finding time to speak to us today. now gymnastics, as you full well know, combines elements of bali and acrobatics. but it's also a performance. what makes these make gymnastics so unique as a sport? who does assume that you have nice to meet gymnastics?

is this to with direct links to ballet? yeah, here's what i mean. we believe it was crazy by is it over duncan and americans who performed much in russia at the marines theater? she was the 1st don't sit to perform on any point. nope. on point. she was also the 1st to adopt the amount of movement known as the free natural body movement. waves soft um swings. those types of movements were outside of the valley technique. at the time. sally had strictly to defy positions these days by le, allows for, for your body movements and on positions, which is something the far from recent gymnastics we'll support a lot of choreographic motions from ballet. so we're related in that way. next, during an individual routine which lots of smelling 2 seconds or group routine, which lasts a 150 seconds to class. with mic, gymnasts perform a many play. the showcases the don't says motions apparatus work for the movements a certain number of complex elements. while the same time trembling speech as of

the music at all, let me give you an example, lola. come on in cool. use the over tour to the queen of spades. it's a very complex piece of music telling the story of 2 people in laws and 2 slides and in madness. i'm talking about lisa and home and so forth. you have 90 seconds to tell this whole story. but the other thing we creep routines at the last of the big, so tom says use to pull out, see if i don't see is on a piece by stravinsky. so these 2 were very different kinds of music, but i sweets managed to create a truly russian image in just 2 minutes and 30 seconds. and you've also made a huge contribution yourself to reason the kim gnostics originally it was about doing complex elements to music. but then you introduce a fancy costumes and you turned it into a real show. why was it so important for you to turn the sports into such an autistic performance that i use instead of the season?

everything must convert you doing much, houston says vice president of the technical committee and back then actually after seeing me from italy was president. she was a very knowledgable and coaching woman. initially, she was opposed to all those sequins and multi colored cost teams, but i succeeded in convincing. huh. it's about goes off the rule and i told her that with mac gymnastics should be receiving. the sceptics, especially since, as i said to the home country, is the boost place of great design is it would be great if every country tried hard to to make the gym. that's beautiful. who is in the full don'ts as a costumes individually tailored to each routine and exercise. she agreed with me less. that was when we began presenting beautiful routine set. that's a beautiful music and showcasing beautiful leah tons. go see, let me go by and you can. i always make gymnastics like many sports is becoming

more demanding and more complex. how is it possible for modern gymnasts to keep pushing the boundaries of what's humanly possible? know, yes, it's, i mean, most of the issues. so i wouldn't agree with that. it's only hearing russia that we're pushing the boundary supports humanly possible. unfortunately, often latham are producing the less they have been situations what everything instead, got some classroom people complaining about too much complexity. even today we go to documents saying that a number of elements named off the russian gymnasts which are very interesting and beach full of already being performed by many estimates around the world and have been removed from the code for some reason. i saw i was told they were bad for the health of slates. i don't agree with that. of course, when we 1st proposed and show those elements, the medical commission of the time gave the green light. right? so if you compare been taught to stick gymnastics, a simple some assault on the beam is

a highly complex element that can hardly be described as particularly healthy. and yet gymnast so allowed to perform such elements on the beam on boss and on the volt to get high schools while doing something like that in respect of gymnastics, is supposed to be to home full disagree. and yet these elements would be moved, which is a shame you said previously that international standards, happiness in, during the development of a business gymnastics was rushed to the opposite li. conversely, as being helping push the, by the higher each year. but now that russian music gymnast are also the picture, what does that do you think this will have on the sports internationally? since you left of them, we have adapted by coming up with the impression code. we're allowing to mess to show everything they can do and everything they can think of without restrictions. everything is allowed so, but they must perform the settlements without this slides useful to get points. we

don't have small faults, medium fault, so major fault suite only would point solutions which are executed, correct cables. for this weight acetate, some coaches know that they can only stick to the things they can perform right without mistakes fast. this is why russian gymnastics keeps evolving. on us, as we changed our rules to allow routines without any operators, free hand exercises with somehow forgotten, even though they're very pushy, they go back to the routines performed by duncan himself who didn't work with the pool or anything else on the bills can now he said body motions, without any apparatus to demonstrate the freedom of movement, of the freedom of emotion that which make gymnastics is all about without having to worry about throwing caching, rolling any out for us as we believe that's very important. we've also reintroduced the right, because roy exercises, oh, very good for athletes rather than my students, alina cup i ever suggested re introducing the right, which we agreed to do. so now we have 6 different defense in the russian code to do

it with all of our regions and never more than a few of them have adjusted to the new rules. both the individual and quick, pre teens as well as junior competitions. everyone is happy, all the kids a swiping is they compete across always different events. that's what it is a well notified you only take the credit as a, from the best children on the a wing. what is it you have to see in a child for you to take them on? the yes must do a lot. you have what you because it's true that initially we pick the best of the best. so when it goes thoughts training, you need to look at how she feels about her routines and with making domestics in

general. does she love to gnostics? she expressive, hard working? does she tried to call to be what her coach tells that to do this? and that she have what it takes to win yes and become a champion. which even though there are many factors that play this physio logy, to how flexible all day, how far can they stretch? some gymnasts make it to the national teen break under pressure, discouraged by the fact that expressiveness must come from sight and technique and a huge amount of time protecting the routine. and that brings go nicely to my next question. some psychologists have said that when you train children as young as 3 to 5 years old, this almost deprives them of that childhood. but you said that these children, they really happy that genuinely happy. how do you find the balance between getting the best performance out of a child on the months will also let them enjoy their child. and what to me i see is

7, which i have a 2 year old chrome daughter. i recently got a video of, i don't sing with the little scarf just on the road and singing a folk song. so he told to that it's in that blood. they enjoy these things. you count for 3 or 4 year olds to wear a car for they train only for 30 to 40 minutes. they don't made to do complex things will struggle to with something like a game to them. over time. however, this evolves into most stream. the voice to, i know, type for one will make this transition. those who count keep up, switch to a different school, which is also fine on something we support. so anyway, it all starts with a girl. learning how to have music, how to make elegant moves and gracefully though she will, these things become very important for future brides, bothers and the woman who was issues each. so do you have to be bone or miss making gymnast, or can you be come on? if you would really how to, to, to me a desk on your cell, you can achieve it by learning the learning needs to be born with this talent,

nor however, as i told one of my team now today going up who is very hard and it takes a long time, a little ocean single, been rolling downhill when you take some moment just it's 12 or 3 days, not school. you need to keep working all the time with the still without talent, without citizens, physiological and emotional qualities. because there's nothing we can do on the physician, we can know which of these qualities or parts of the beauty or for me at least the rhythmic gymnastics is the ability to tell a story, 3 movements and music. and that to me would seem that requires some sort of a self reflection and maybe even life experience how to teach this to children are such a young age of the 30th. is this kids at the age of 3 or 5? can have a very clear picture of what is what can be because a very interesting thing. sometimes let me tell you children understand a lot,

even at this age. if you give a music and you teach them motions appropriate for their age, but you will be able to express themselves beautifully. or even adult gymnast shouldn't be made to work with something that doesn't fit that current to do a modeling a cup. i, if i, for instance, could never work which doing tragic music, even when we use common, we selected hoppey a more upbeat pots like gypsy dogs or in 90 seconds example. but that was when she was a grown up young girls. i was with a little very excitable and expressive, so they should be different appropriate music and said there was a young child set and you shouldn't be made to work with a concert to or symphony that they count channel. well, even if a coach likes it, the coat should be guided by the child's feelings, but it takes the gifted coach to do that, as well. as you said, lots of this does obviously depend on the expressiveness of the gymnast. how do you get them to reveal the true emotions during the performance or did the motions come

out as that during the performance itself? naturally? well, probably the yes, you're right, but you need to get into a state of flu. that's what i always say. a flow of music, the flow for the music is telling you the job of the coaches to explain the gymnast is what she's supposed to feel working with. see. so the music piece take the cult . seeing don'ts is it opens with beautiful in 10 the eastern coast on the same time is that the coach needs to explain this and you have that the athlete is supposed to smile and move very softly and flexibly when performing to it. the 2nd part is adults, male warriors think jump, and they make all kinds of shop movements. the contrast between and 2 and a worry a creek. this is side effect that here you. but again, it all starts with the coach, analyzing these emotions, such of who will then pull that you've nasty into they slow. unfortunately,

it's not always possible to make it into sports these young gymnast. it's not the only need hollins. it's also a trusted and experienced coach to help them the truth the . so what do you tell your students before they go out on to the math for a competition? i use the system which helped me a lot back in the day when i was preparing for the olympic games here from miss vin, or kept telling us that we should focus on our own thing, get into the flow and just do our part. this is a system which has stood the test time of the olympics really? yeah. so my students here, the same words for me as they go out onto the floor the,

what's the approach to take to give in your students feedback as to performance beautiful. which was the 1st we focus on the things they did well. it's super important. i think for kids to know what went well and what was poorly, i start by highlighting the good thing, but then we immediately proceed to analyze the drawbacks there. but what i believe it's very important to figure out right away, what was good and what was bad, and correct the mistakes. this is my method for which kids need to know where they succeeded and what could've been done better so that they can fix it immediately. is it true that each gymnast has their own speciality, or do they have to excel? it's everything in order to succeed in the sports. here's some children have

a special gift for you, produce some have certain peculiarities in their nature or physique. i personally have 5 gymnast on the floor and i try to bring out a personality in each one of them. each one has a special place to say, each girl has their own strength. by combining them, i get what i knew. and what does it take to be a parents of abuse and make gymnast? it's the parents of a true champion. are you just uh, were you like my parents for daughter? they don't interfere. they never told the coach what to do. a full but, and trust their child completely to her mentor, so that they can form a tandem and have the right chemistry. and how do you teach your students to really show their emotions on the carpets? or is this something that comes out naturally during a rep? that's one of my you. so i bring out different emotions and my students and that also me and wants me a story cuz it's not always big smiles. but sometimes i want them to feel angry or

combative so that they're aware of their emotional range and learn to embrace it. they must respond emotionally to everything vista. now, if they want their performance to come from the heart. so then when they feel that everything's going well, they naturally break into a smile and their eyes light of it as it's the most natural way to achieve it. within the right now is russian training 80 navina. and she said that there comes a point where a coach can no longer teach the students something, and they have to give their students so know the trainer for them to continue developing. uh, how do you tell when that time has come? and is it difficult to part ways? uh, i completely agree with mr. dinner time i, i've been there myself. my 1st personal trainer passed me to there a chanel bones, who's a top trainer and holmes, cuz i'm going to and then michelle bums who has plenty of experience and was trained many olympic medalist herself in turn past me to arena vin. or i'd say you

need to feel it on a subconscious level, it takes a lot of professionalism for a coach to realize that the child is developing and needs to move on. it's very valuable when coaches can do that. and it's something we should all learn from them . the some of your children, even called you mom or mother, because you don't really just teach them make gymnastics. you also help mentor them in a system or even bring them up with you to hold the line between the, the coach eating and the most are using. i mean, there's no way mom is that some of the stops?

no, that's because children have a very strong sense of justice and in some ways all very cool. what i mean is that they need to be noticed whether they're being told the truth or not. children, especially little ones, immediately realize if they've been given a path on the head for nothing. i mean move away from a person who does that. when however, you tell them that they make mistakes when to tell them to do something over and over again. when you make a comparison, that may seem unpleasant to in that site that i can afford to do that. you know, it shows them that he's an example here. this got to you. i told one of my goals, look at yourself. yes. so pushy. you have a luscious eyebrows. you have blue eyes, you're real busy. you move like a cow. and so she's supposed to choose. will she be a beauty with blue eyes or cow? she chooses to be a piece of course and immediately does what i ask her to do. so the feelings may be heard 1st, but then they come and how do you thank you and wait few case, you know, when they tell me on the 2nd mother,

during competitions that makes life worth living because when a kid close, you mom, it makes your life with while i can only imagine, you've also said, you know that this is not so much the competition that matters. it's overcoming yourself, but winning must still be important in these events, getting a place on the podium visits. yeah. you see, you look coming yourself is and, and then pick them off to just like fast, the highest stronger. so you never look at your competition. look at yourself. will you be up to the task? do you and your coach that for you, if you will, you'll win the 1st place. this is obvious. yeah, not just in with them domestics, but maybe for life itself. and finally, i just want to ask you one last question. your one of the biggest is not the biggest name in this make gymnastics, but you often say if i'm nobody, and you have that's and you all to biography why to zillow. so it's true that we're very successful. i've liked russia with god's help. of course,

the $51.00 olympic medals and $400.00 cal 16 world and you are paying championship metals. this is a significant result. and i know that every person who is reach set in heights receive this gift action. so you have this talent from up above. yeah, i always tell my students, i'm just to come do it. i'm told by a high a power what to do. so i can relate it to you. and this is what i tell my goals as soon as you get off the podium, you need to tell yourself, right? and back to square. one seems as though when you own the podium, your the champion. gotcha. but when you bought down your, nobody's again, this is how it goes. the

to the grace and beauty with which these gymnast perform the lies a tremendous amounts of hardwood hours of training and waving commitments. to find out just how they keep it together and the sorts of pressure we ask lawless company and tell me, what do you perform? how much of it is about competing with others? and how much of this is about competing with yourself and pushing your own limits. our main challenge is of course, to push ourselves to the limit. you know, like center of light keeps telling us that being yourself is part of the olympic model. then there's competing with the other athletes at the end of the day, it's about proving to yourself what you can achieve. pop off from the physical side . can you tell me a bit about the more unusual us, the training really knows, you know, said there's some gymnast, even learn how it's how it's a whole files. it's up to you if you want to learn poetry by heart. but even

though they sound during the fosters are spiritual development as well. we go to the both show theater to see bellies likes one late, don't the whole cheese and the nutcracker. nice to create those who enjoy it. learn poetry. gymnastics is an art for him. and we channel our history in our dances. each person has their own way to express emotion, law d, what's the performances of your competitors? and if so, why? i do, my hero is leading to come by. i keep watching her performances and always green, something new and interesting from them. what's there are other girls around the world who are doing full stuff in terms of body movements and the ad for rate this work too. so we need to be aware of what's going on. we pick up and adapt some of these elements. and finally, you look so confidence when you're out that you have this really of smile. can you show us what's going on in the site before you before? and that's the goal, just attitude matters. a lot of them. but if you get nervous of course,

so which is fine. but small as we get nervous with what your trainers, your parents and your family help you overcome the emotional turmoil, my sister, in my case, it's my twin sister, diana. we are very close that my family is all about sports, but so it's all thanks to my trainers and my family. well, i thank you very much because we can so it's very interesting. thank you. the the

in february 2022 ukraine, the game, the world's number one, new story for ukraine, ukraine. ukraine crane pressure. truth invited to crane england. this spring test ukraine suffering from russian english and replacing the main stream media and the nightly news, reciting. clean developed scripts that essentially say exactly the same thing, using the buzz words of this as a threat to our democracy. when you're seeing 10 different channels exactly that sentence. you know that it's the central intelligence agency script. the role of p r firms in ukraine, throughout europe in into and i did states really can be overstated. it's quite different. and it wasn't previous decades where there used to be more of a culver role of propaganda, government propaganda operations. now this is just celebrated as p r in helping ukraine and helping get their message out to times because who's pulling the

strings and who is profiting the force it near wash. lots of stuff is a lot going out of the at that point she must not submit a sports and she goes away with the results of the story and voice a day or studio and i see for sure option that this be so for ship. oh,

for starter home work or critics will go straight and you, what would you do? it was a school in your welski territory. so it is can say, is the natural logos of it. so formally, ship portion or the find me think about me just a footboard, still knew about shovel in gold and have a side as close a was a doors board us at ocean have junior when you go out and i get bully now, probably not sure of the south, the strong, clear, but i still don't soccer. it could be so full, so comfortable. that's a couple of both them just got a square brask, a full rich voice coming out on the bus, which is still going to me. so i'm on the policy. i'm kind of, i just, i'm a got the reason why can you go, are you still not done? i'll go back to normal. yeah. i get to talk about it. there's dorski of much fund wanted to circle comfortable the summer about on their loved. i mean, yeah, the best uh, but we have both come and we'll just stuff some of the

the hello and welcome to cross stock. were all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle . the russians and the americans have made it clear they want to normalize relations after the disastrous bite in years. at this point, both appear committed to ending the conflict in ukraine. the europeans and the ukrainians are not at the table. neither turned to seat the cross knocking the pro.
