A walk to convey power; a greeting that gets the upper hand; a gesture that can hide a lie, body language can betray us. When a president is under pressure, or a celebrity is in the media glare, look beyond the words, their body language says it all.
This is a certain poi, lf-touch gesture, hot spot, or micro-expressions.
In this special, experts will disct the body, the face and the voice— It’s about our country. — to reveal its hidden meanings, its crets.
This is a world where what we say is all important. — They said this day would never come. —We hang on every word. —Tomorrow we begin again. Thank you. —But are we getting all the message?
— Older, darker, mean psychopaths, rial killers hang around…
Rearch has shown that just 7% of human communication is through the actual words.
93% of what we communicate with others is non-verbal.— Bang, bang, bang! — 93%! Think about that. 93%! So it’s our tone of voice, our pitch, our posture, micro-expressions on our face and different gestures that we might u. So we put all the significance on 7% for words. We shouldn’t have really been doing that.
Beyond the words lies a fascinating world of non-verbal communication, the cret world of body language. We are about to watch our one of the world leaders, our sports stars. — Good morning. —We’ll revisit famous figures from recent history.
—Did you kill the President?
— Becau people have got to know whether or not their president is a crook, well, but I am not a crook. I've earned everything I’ve got.
We’ll view our celebrities with fresh eyes. We are going to show how people in the
public eye try to control the way we perceive them, and how sometimes, despite their best efforts, the truth leaks out.
— Whomever it might be, if the truth is told, then my name will be cleared and I can move on with my life.
If you know what to look for.

You’re getting a hidden peek, a peek into the world of what’s really going on there. When you can read body language, every moment you spend with others, you can make it valuable, and if you are in business, you can make it profitable. Body language is crucial.
For tho who study nonverbal communication, one of the first indicators they look out for is the way someone’s body moves.
At this Camp David Summit, President Bush is the host to visiting Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Vladimir Putin knows the world is watching him on American soil and he also knows that his people are watching, so he must show strength.
Here though, both leaders are making a strong body language statement.
Now here we are, two powerful world leaders in a sort of striding contest, becau of cour, the faster you stride, the more strong, powerful and fit you are.
But it’s not just the speed of walking that nds out messages.
Vladimir Putin and George Bush, both of whom are fantastically powerful men, have two completely different kinds of power and it, evidences itlf through body language.
I thank you all for coming.
Vladimir Putin has, what I would call, a very animal power, a strong man power. And he walks by having his shoulders that are actually bouncing back and, back and forth. And he walks. He also makes gestures. He is very active. I would almost call it a kind of xy power. George Bush, on the other hand, has a more traditional, and I would say, American power. There is a very little movement above the shoulders. He’s trying to look like he’s controlled. There is no extra wasted energy.
I thank you all for coming.
Perceiving the body language message of the two powerful Presidents is straightforward. But body language is often complex and easily misunderstood.
Here President Clinton leads Israeli and Palestinian leaders Ehud Barak and Yasr Arafat out before the press during peace negotiations. It’s all smiles for the cameras. But behind the facade of bonhomie, there is a power struggle going on. Clinton jokingly explains that none of them will take any questions.
We pledged to each other that we would answer no questions and offer no comments. So, I have to t a good example.
The body language then revealed just why that was.

Oh, my!
Well…
Wow, almost a physical fight.
Many view this apparently light-hearted tussle as a sign that Arafat and Barak were getting on well. Think again.
