Nobody has taken responsibility of this, because at the heart of this two women have been let down."Former BBC journalist Andrew Neil said of <mask>'s questioning, "As a professional interviewer... there were many times when I thought <mask> was the only one that knew the questions to ask." On 19 March 2021, the findings of the committee were pre-emptively leaked to the media by an MSP. Baillie backed an inquiry into the leak and said: "The leaks against the women were particularly bad, because they had the bravery to come forward to speak to the committee. It was entirely inappropriate that that information was leaked to the public domain."

Early life and education
Dogileva was born on February 27, 1957, in Moscow, into a working class family. She received her secondary education at the Academy of Pedagogical Sciences in Moscow, where she combined her studies with rhythmic gymnastics and choreography. At age 14, she entered the Young Actor's Studio at the Central Television. In 1978, Dogileva graduated from the Lunacharsky State Institute of Theatrical Art, where she studied under Vsevolod Ostalsky. Theatre
Dogileva's stage career began with a successful performance in her thesis play Much Ado About Nothing, where she played Beatrice. She was then invited to three theaters in Moscow, and she chose Lenin Komsomol Theater, where she worked until 1985.Among her best-known Lenkom parts was that of Nelly in Cruel Games, staged by Mark Zakharov, which was an important theatrical event at the time. Having transferred in 1985 to the Yermolova Theatre, Dogileva participated in the productions of director Valery Fokin's Sports Games, Speak, Shaky Balance, and Our Decameron., a play by Roman Viktyuk.

Dogileva started her film career while still a student, cast in episodic parts. Her first major role was of Nina in The Stowaway Passenger (1978). In the following years, she starred in the films Vasily and Vasilisa (1981), Private Life (1982), The Pokrovsky Gate (1982), Station for Two (1982), The Unexpected (1983), and many others. The role of saleswoman Vera in The Blonde Around the Corner (1984) directed by Vladimir Bortko was especially noteworthy; along with Andrei Mironov, the actress created a new type of character for the screen - charming in a feminine way, yet firmly independent from the "omnipotent" Soviet service sector. The actress received more recognition among audiences with the role of nurse Lida in the picture Forgotten Melody for a Flute (1987), directed by Eldar Ryazanov. Dogileva played the heroine of her time, sternly confronting life difficulties while saving her lover from moral death. The same theme recurred in her role of Marina from Afghan Breakdown (1993), directed by Vladimir Bortko.Among the films in her later years, there were The Bridegroom from Miami (1994), Hello, Fools! (1996), East/West (1999) as well as the TV series Plot (2003), Lyuba, Children and the Plant (2005-2006 sitcom), Hobo (2007, 2009) and Mine (2009). In 2005-2007, <mask> Dogileva hosted the psychological talk show Two Truths on NTV. Directing
In 1998, <mask> Dogileva made her debut as stage director in Mikhail Kozakov's theatrical company; she staged the romantic comedy "Moonlight, a Honeymoon" based on the play Private Lives by English playwright Noël Coward. It was translated by her husband Mikhail Mishin. Despite the initially poor critical reception, the play went on being performed for 20 years. Then there were The Ones In Love do not Renounce...

Dogileva herself acted in almost all the plays she directed. Her directorial debut was the film Lera (2007). Literature
In addition to her work in theater, cinema and television, the actress has been also active in the literary field. Her first novel, The Life and Adventures of Sveta Khokhryakova, published in 2010, tackles modern Russian realities - the poverty-stricken life in the remote places of the country; the luxury and  moral degradation of the rich living in the capital city, and the venality of people working in television.

<mask> (October 1, 1913 – January 29, 2009) was a Brazilian martial artist who together with his brothers Oswaldo, Gastao Jr, George and <mask> founded and developed the self-defense martial art system of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, also known as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). Considered as the Godfather of BJJ, according to his son Rorion, <mask> is one of the first sports heroes in Brazilian history; he was named Man of the Year in 1997 by the American martial arts publication Black Belt magazine. A patriarch of the <mask> family, multiple members of his family have gone on to have successful careers in combat sport competition including mixed martial arts (MMA). Early life
<mask> was born on October 1, 1913, in Belém, Brazil. Contrary to popular belief, he was a talented athlete, and trained and competed in rowing and swimming since his childhood. He had his first contact in martial arts at 16, when he started training judo (at that time commonly referred to as "Kano Jiu-jitsu" or simply "Jiu-Jitsu"), with his brothers Carlos and George. He also learned catch wrestling under the renowned Orlando Americo "Dudú" da Silva, who taught his brothers for a time.When he was 16 years old, he found the opportunity to teach a judo class and this experience led him to develop their family style, "Gracie Jiu Jitsu". A director of the Bank of Brazil, Mario Brandt, arrived for a private class at the original Gracie Academy in Rio de

When the tardy Carlos arrived offering his apologies, Brandt assured him it was no problem, and actually requested that he be allowed to continue learning with <mask> instead. <mask> realized, however, that even though he knew the techniques theoretically, the moves were much harder for him to execute. Consequently, he began adapting Mitsuyo Maeda's brand of judo, already heavily based around newaza ground fighting techniques. From these experiments, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu was created.Like its parent style of judo, these techniques allowed smaller and weaker practitioners the capability to defend themselves and even defeat much larger opponents. "Carlos and Helio <mask> ... brought a fresh eye to jujitsu just as their fellow countryman brought a special new approach to football." Aside from training with his brothers, <mask> learned further judo under Sumiyuki Kotani and Argentinian judo pioneer Chugo Sato. He might have also got training under a practitioner named Hiraichi Tada. However, the extent of his official training in this art remains unknown. According to Masahiko Kimura, <mask> held the rank of 6th dan in judo in 1951, while according to Robert Hill, Kodokan records show <mask> at the rank of 3rd dan at the time, though Hill also noted that it was not unusual for

 Kodokan records to show a lower rank than that actually held by non-Japanese judo practitioners. Fighting career

First challenges
<mask> began his professional fighting career at 18 years old against boxer Antonio Portugal.The fight took place in the undercard of a "jiu-jitsu vs. boxing" event on January 16, 1932, which saw judoka Geo Omori defeating boxer Tavares Crespo. <mask> won his fight by submission in a short time, probably an armlock in 40 seconds. Portugal is sometimes incorrectly billed as a boxing champion. His second match would be the same year in a jiu-jitsu exhibition against Takashi Namiki in September. As Namiki had a 7 kg (15 lb) weight advantage and was a native of Japan just like the art of jiu-jitsu, he was expected to defeat <mask>. Namiki dominated the match, but <mask> wasn't defeated, leading it to a draw after several rounds. Matches against wrestlers

Also in 1932, <mask> faced professional wrestler Fred Ebert on November 6.It was his biggest challenge up to the point, as Ebert outweighed him by 29 kg (64 lb) and was a decorated freestyle wrestler, and their match would have no time limit. <mask> was positive, claiming he would submit Ebert in a short time. However, the bout lasted almost two hours, and was eventually stopped by the police at the promoters's discretion as none of the fighters was progressing or advancing position. Again, this fight is sometimes registered as a vale

In an interview, <mask> claimed that he had to undergo an urgent operation the next day and that the stop was demanded by the doctor due to <mask> having a high fever caused by a swelling. In 1934, <mask> faced another jiu-jitsu practitioner named Miyaki. The latter (whose first name is unknown) was billed as a judo black belt, although he had fought only one professional fight, a loss against professional wrestler Robert Ruhmann.He is usually identified as the famous judoka and catch wrestler Taro Miyake, a theory possibly initiated by Mark Hewitt in his book Catch Wrestling: A Wild and Wooly Look at the Early Days of Pro Wrestling in America (2005). However, Miyake was 54 years old and weighted 90 kg (200 lb) at the time, while Miyaki's official stats were about 20 years old and 64 kg (141 lb), and photographic material seems to support them being different people. In any case, <mask> passing the first 20 minutes of the match in guard position before he climbed up to mount. He then applied a gi choke which Miyaki didn't surrender to, making the Japanese fall unconscious for the victory. On July 28, <mask> faced renowned professional wrestler Wladek Zbyszko who, very much like Ebert, had a 40 kg (88 lb) weight advantage (albeit was 22 years older) and was billed as a world champion. Although the match was promoted as a "catch-as-catch-can vs. jiu-jitsu"

 challenge, it was fought under jiu-jitsu rules, including judogis and a 20-minute time limit. It was an uneventful affair; <mask> pulled guard at the opening and they spent the rest of the match in said position, ending in a draw.Still, it was seen as a moral victory for <mask> not to have been finished by the larger Wladek. The wrestler himself praised <mask>'s courage and resistance. <mask>'s next opponent was his own former teacher, Orlando Americo "Dudú" da Silva, who had defeated <mask>'s brother George in a catch wrestling match earlier in the year 1935. Their match was stipulated as a vale tudo bout with a 20-minute time limit on February 2. During the match, the two fighters exchanged punches before Dudú, heavier by 20 kg, took <mask> down. <mask> defended from the guard, but Dudú landed heavy punishment in form of ground and pound, breaking <mask>'s nose with a headbutt and making him bleed profusely. However, the wrestler ended up spending all his energy in the assault, and it allowed <mask> to counterattack gradually with short punches from the bottom.When they returned to standing by the referee, <mask> landed two side kicks of the kind called pisão in capoeira, and the tired Dudú submitted verbally shortly after. Matches against judokas
After the fight against Dudú, <mask> was challenged by 5th dan judoka Yasuichi Ono to another vale tudo fight. This was met with heat by the <mask> side, as Ono had

Calling Ono a "cretin" in a newspaper interview, <mask> claimed to accept the challenge and the two were stipulated to fight in April 1935, but the bout was scrapped when <mask> pulled out. Eventually, <mask> accepted to fight Ono, but only under jiu-jitsu rules, without points or judges and in December. He also came to the match wearing a judogi with very short sleeves in order to make gripping difficult. The affair saw Ono, though lighter than <mask> by 4 kg (9 lb), executing an exact number of 32 judo throws on <mask> through the entire match, as well as almost finishing him with a juji-gatame in the first round.However, <mask> never gave up and escaped all his holds, including one in which he dived out of the ring to avoid a choke (a legal action at the time), and even had his own modest submission attempts in the form of an armlock and a gi choke near of the ending. After 20 minutes, the bout ended in a draw. On June 13, 1936, <mask> fought judoka Takeo Yano, a training partner of Ono who also had dominated <mask> the previous year in a time draw. Again, <mask> demanded a match without judges and wore a modified judogi, and his brother Carlos predicted that Yano wouldn't last a single round. Indeed, <mask> showed improvement, threatening Yano with a gi choke in the second round, but Yano threw and took down <mask> repeatedly through the three rounds of the

 Gracies considered low class. He trained a number of students and challenged Gracie's academy in 1953. Fadda's academy won the majority of the matches, and it is a legend that Fadda submitted <mask> during the competition. <mask> vs. Santana
In 1955, <mask> was challenged by Valdemar Santana, a former student of his academy who now trained and fought under the management of Carlos Renato and Haroldo Brito.Reasons why Santana left the <mask> team are diffuse; one of them is that he was expelled for taking a professional wrestling bout, something that their fighters had forbidden, while another tells how Santana accidentally flooded <mask>'s gym while doing cleaning chores. <mask> accepted the challenge of a vale tudo match, even though Santana was 16 years younger and 60 lb heavier. They fought in May, both wearing a jiu-jitsu gi. The bout lasted almost four hours, possibly three hours and 40 minutes. <mask> defended from his guard for most of the fight, hitting elbows to the head and heel kicks to the back, while his opponent threw punches through the guard. After a long time of fighting, <mask> got eventually tired, and Santana took over with headbutts and more strikes. At the end, Santana lifted <mask> up and slammed him on the mat, and then landed a soccer kick to the head of a kneeling <mask>.<mask> was knocked out and his cornermen threw the towel.

A dispute between <mask>'s brother Carlos and Manoel Rufino dos Santos worsened after Dos Santos won a public bout against Carlos. Subsequently, the conflict then moved to the newspapers, where Rufino criticized Carlos's skill and dismissed his jiu-jitsu credentials, leading Carlos, George and Hélio <mask> to assault him in front of his teaching place at the Tijuca Tênis Clube on October 18. They hit him repeatedly with a steel box and immobilized him for Carlos to apply an armlock, dislocating Rufino's shoulder so badly that it needed surgery.

title: Galdan Boshugtu Khan

texts:
<mask> (1644–1697, , , in Mongolian script:    Galdan bošoɣtu qaɣan; ) was a Dzungar-Oirat Khan of the Dzungar Khanate. As fourth son of Erdeni Batur, founder of the Dzungar Khanate, <mask> was a descendant of Esen Taishi, the powerful Oirat Khan of the Northern Yuan dynasty who united the western Mongols in the 15th century. <mask>'s mother Yum Aga was a daughter of <mask>, the first Khoshut-Oirat King of Tibet. Early years and consolidation of power

At age of 7, <mask> was sent to Lhasa to be educated as a lama under the 5th Dalai Lama at Tashilhunpo Monastery. He spent 20 years studying Buddhist canons, philosophy, astronomy, astrology and basics of medicine and pharmacology. In this sense, he was one of the best educated kings in Mongolian history. He backed his brother Sengge's claim the title Khan of the Dzungars against the pretensions of their half-brothers Tseten and Tsodba Batur.With the support of Ochirtu <mask> of the Khoshuud, Sengge's solidified his rule 1661. Nevertheless, the two brothers never gave up their royal aspirations and in 1670 Tsetsen murdered Sengge in a family coup. When <mask>'s mother Amin-Dara arrived to Lhasa to inform <mask> of Sengge's death, <mask> immediately renounced his status as a lama and quickly returned to the Irtysh Valley to avenge him. After soundly defeating Tseten and Tsodba Batur in 1671, the Dalai Lama named <mask> Hongtaiji "Crown Prince". After Sengge's death, <mask> took his widow Anu-Dara, granddaughter of Ochirtu,

 as his bride. Conflict within the family soon erupted again when Ochirtu, fearing <mask>'s popularity, supported <mask>'s uncle and rival Choqur Ubashi. In 1678 Galdan forced Ochirtu to flee to Kokonur and established hegemony over the Oirats.The following year, the Dalai Lama bestowed on him the highest title of Boshoghtu (or Boshughtu) Khan, or "Devine Khan". Altishahr and the Kazakhs

Imams of the Naqshbandi lineage had replaced the Chagatayid Khans in the early 17th century. After the defeat of the , their exiled ruler Afaq Khoja approached the 5th Dalai Lama for military assistance in 1677. By the request of the latter, <mask> overthrew the  in the Dzungar conquest of Altishahr and installed Afaq as his client ruler there. Galdan decreed that the Turkestanis would be judged by their own law except in cases affecting the Dzungar Khanate. The Dzungars kept control over the Tarim Basin until 1757. In 1680 the Black Kyrgyz raided Moghulistan and occupied Yarkant.The inhabitants of Yarkant appealed to <mask> <mask> for help. The Dzungars conquered Kashgar and Yarkant and Galdan had its ruler chosen by its inhabitants. Then he invaded the north of Tengeri Mountain in modern Kazakhstan the next year; he defeated Tauke <mask>'s Kazakhs but failed to take Sayram. He conquered Turfan and Hami the next year. In 1683 <mask>'s armies under Rabtan reached Tashkent and the Syr Darya and crushed two armies of the Kazakhs. After that <mask> subjugated the Black Khirgizs and ravaged

 the Fergana Valley. From 1685 <mask>'s forces aggressively pushed the Kazakhs.While his general Rabtan took Taraz, and his main force forced the Kazakhs to migrate westwards. In 1687, he besieged Turkistan, an important pilgrimage center for the Muslim Kazakhs, but could not take it. Rivalry with Khalkha
At first the Khalkha and Oirat Mongols were allies, bound by the provisions of the Mongol-Oirat code. In order to cement this union, <mask> attempted to ally with Zasaghtu <mask> who lost part of his subjects to Tushiyetu <mask>ji, and moved his orda near the Altai Mountains. Tushiyetu <mask> attacked the right wing of the Khalkhas and killed Shira in 1687. <mask> dispatched troops under his younger brother Dorji-jav against the Tushiyetu <mask> the next year, but they were eventually defeated and Dorji-jav was killed in the ensuing battle. Chakhundorji murdered Degdeehei Mergen Ahai of the Zasaghtu Khan who was on the way to Galdan.The Qing court intervened and called all the Mongolian nobles to assemble a conference. To avenge the death of his brother and expand his influence over other Mongol areas, <mask> prepared for war with the Khalkha of eastern Mongolia. Galdan established a friendly relationship with the Tsardom of Russia, which was at war with Tushiyetu <mask> over territories near Lake Baikal in northern Khalkha. Bonded by a common interest in defeating the Khalkha, both Galdan and the Russians simultaneously attacked and conquered most of the territories of

 Khalkha. Armed with superior firearms provided by the Russians, Galdan attacked the land of the late Zasaghtu <mask>, and advanced to the dominion of Tushiyetu Khan. The Russian Cossacks meanwhile attacked and defeated the Khalkha's contingent of 10,000 near Lake Baikal. In 1688, after two bloody battles with the Dzungar in present-day central Mongolia, Erdene Zuu Monastery and Tomor, Tushiyetu <mask> and his son <mask>ji fled to the Ongi River.Acting in defiance of contrary orders from the Kangxi Emperor and the 5th Dalai Lama, he entered Khalkha territory in 1688. The Zunghars occupied the Khalkha homeland, and forced Jibzundamba Zanabazar to flee. The Qing court strengthened its northern border garrisons, and advised the Khalkhas to resist Galdan. After being reinforced by fresh troops, the Tushiyetu <mask>ji counterattacked the Zunghars, and fought with them near Olgoi Lake on August 3, 1688. The Oirats won after a 3-day battle. <mask>'s conquest of Khalkha Mongolia made Zanabazar and Chakhundorji submit to the Qing dynasty in September. War with the Qing

By his victory in 1688, <mask> had driven the Khalkhas into the arms of the Qing and made himself a military threat to the Manchus.Unfortunately for Galdan, the Kangxi Emperor was unusually vigorous and warlike. While he was fighting in Eastern Mongolia, his nephew Tsewang Rabtan seized the Dzungarian throne in 1689. After a series of successful battles in the Khangai Mountains, at Lake Olgoi and Ulahui River, he

The Qing deceived him to arrive near Beijing saying that they needed a treaty, but ambushed him at the battle of Ulan Butung, which was fought 350 kilometers directly north of Beijing near the western headwaters of the Liao River at the southern end of the Greater Khingan. <mask>'s troops were seriously defeated by the Khalkha troops supported by the Qing army and Galdan retreated back to Khalkha. Defeat and death

In 1696 Galdan was on the upper Kherlen River east of modern Ulaanbaatar.Kangxi's plan was to personally lead an army northwest to Galdan while sending a second army north from the Ordos Desert to block his escape. Kangxi reached the Kherlen, found <mask> gone, but was forced to turn back due to lack of supplies. On 12 June 1696, the same day Kangxi turned back, <mask> blundered into the western army and was disastrously defeated at Terelj's Zuunmod near the upper Tuul River east of Ulan Bator. <mask>'s wife, Queen Anu, was killed during the battle and the Manchus captured 20,000 cattle and 40,000 sheep. <mask> fled with his remaining 40 or 50 men. He gathered a few thousand followers who later deserted due to hunger.

Dave accidentally frustrates him by asking, "Do you have any special talents?" This prompted him to say, "...I'm invisible." Guido the Teddy Impersonator - A sleazy character who looks almost exactly the same as Teddy, but with a misshapen head. He was apparently put in jail for impersonating Teddy (and other crimes, such as drugs and prostitution). He also attempted to replace Teddy when he tried to leave the show. Charley - Though not actually a Puppet, Charley is the commercially available programmable robot, Robonova, from Hitec.Dave brought out Charley, a small toy puppet. just for kicks while the auditions were taking place.

Chuck then instructed him to do several difficult tasks (stand on one leg and act like a chicken, do a cartwheel, do a handstand), which he accomplished with ease. Chuck, as it turns out, hacked Strassman's computer to made Charley do that. His final instruction: Kill the Audience. Dave scoffs at the idea when he is forced to get rid of the approaching robot.Mumbles - Another potential replacement for Teddy. Strassman was quite happy to give him a shot, but realized that he forgot to make him a mouth and had to fail him. Television shows and appearances

<mask> (born May 18, 1986) is an American intelligence official who served as the acting under secretary of defense for intelligence during the Trump Administration. He previously served as the acting assistant secretary of defense for special operations and low-intensity conflict, national security adviser to the United States attorney general and as a former senior director for intelligence programs for the United States National Security Council (NSC). Early life and education
Cohen-Watnick was raised in Chevy Chase, Maryland. His father was a lawyer and his mother was a doctor. Cohen-Watnick earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in history and political science from the University of Pennsylvania in 2008. Career
Cohen-Watnick took a position at the Office of Naval Intelligence after graduation. Before joining the White House, Cohen-Watnick worked for the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), beginning in 2010, where he served in Miami, Haiti, Virginia and Afghanistan.Cohen-Watnick was accepted into the training program for the Defense Clandestine Service. Cohen-Watnick underwent training at Camp Peary (commonly known as "The Farm"), where he was trained by the Central Intelligence Agency. He was assigned to Afghanistan, with a GS-13 rank. He was temporarily assigned to the Defense Intelligence Agency Headquarters in 2014. Cohen-Watnick left the DIA for the National Security Council on January 20, 2017. National Security Council

Following Flynn's resignation in February 2017, the new National Security Advisor, H. R. McMaster, attempted to remove Cohen-Watnick, but he was overruled by Trump. McMaster attempted to replace Cohen-Watnick with veteran CIA official Linda Weissgold. It is alleged that Cohen-Watnick
