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 poise, self-touch gesture, hot spot, or

micro-expressions.

In this special, experts will dissect the body, the face and the voice—It’s about our country. —to reveal its hidden meanings, its secrets.

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, serial killers hang around…

Research 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 use. 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 secret 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

— Because 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.

—It’s not what you are seeing. It’s what you are not seeing. And you are not seeing an, an anger response.

We are going to equip you with the tools to read those body language giveaway.

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 those 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, because of course, the faster you stride, the more strong, powerful and fit you are.

But it’s not just the speed of walking that sends out messages. Vladimir Putin and George Bush, both of whom are fantastically powerful men, have two completely different kinds of power and it, evidences itself 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 sexy 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 these 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 Yasser 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 set 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.

There is a, a great meaning behind who goes through the door first. Now, of course, see that here in the West, letting someone through the door first that doesn’t really matter, polite maybe. But in the Middle East, it has significant cultural impact.

The host, the power person says I’m in control, I’ll help you throug h the door, I’ll show you the way.

Thank you.

Throwing the fear and tension presented in most Middle East negotiations, and suddenly the desire of both Arafat and Barak not to go through that door before the other starts to make sense.

This is a classic example in an extreme way of how the last man through the door is the winner. So Barak reaches for Yasser Arafat. Arafat literally grabs this on, moves around and starts waggling his finger at Barak who then, Barak then uses it as an

opportunity like a wrestling match to move around, to actually

be behind Arafat and then literally grabs Arafat, to hold him

by the arm and shoves him through the door boldly.

So you’ve got fear and power struggle showing in big, big, big, big, bold body language movements.

Arafat and Barak are not the only ones to appreciate the significance of the last man through the door move. Even when friends and allies meet, subtle cues reveal who’s top dog. 2003, British Prime Minister Tony Blair plays host to President Bush.

In this particular example, we are looking at No.10 Downing Street and one would expect Tony Blair to be very territorial. It’s his territory. He should be host. He should be in charge and the boss in terms of who at least goes through the door.

And yet, Tony Blair the Prime Minister accepts that the

seniority in place here is the President. So President Bush

says photo job is over, gives him a little nod, and so they

start getting in. The…

The president is in charge of the choreography.

He goes through the door last. He uses his left hand and taps Blair forward, not shoving Blair through the door, but helping him through the door, meaning Bush is in charge.

As they go in, the president being in charge and wanting him to be clear that he is in charge, not only displays the ownership symbol of putting his hand on Tony Blair's back, but then he displays a further bit of dominance—gives him three little taps, just to let him know that actually he is a good little boy and that George W. Bush is boss.

A pat on the back is one way to demonstrate power. Getting the upper hand is another, quite literally.

When body language savvy world leaders get together, they know there's one sure fire moment to demonstrate dominance, the handshake photo while.

If you're looking at the left of the picture, they always wanna be standing on the left of the picture. Let me demonstrate. If I'm shaking hands here, what's gonna happen I'm at the bottom of the handshake. My palm is facing up. That's a very vulnerable position. If I'm shaking hands here, and I've got my arm around the person I'm shaking hands, who is in, who’s got the upper hand I've got the upper hand.

If someone's coming in to shake your hand like this, here's the nice solid handshake. It should be straight and firm. If it's not...

Janine Driver teaches body language evening classes.

It’s kind of hard to dominate. You are a powerful boy...

She believes the visual impact of important handshakes was

first appreciated in 1970 when Elvis Presley famously paid a visit to President Nixon at the White House.

We see a picture of Nixon and he’s shaking hands with Elvis Presley. Nixon's got the upper hand. That's where the expression comes from—I've got the upper hand here. So now

that people know about this in politics, you see them jogging for position when it comes time to take the picture.

At this Summit in 2006 hosted by Vladimir Putin, the Russian leader was on full handshake alert.

He’s strategically placed himself in a position where when they're coming forward, he's gonna get the dominant position. They are coming out of cars, this way they're coming up to him. The cameras are here. Every single picture, who gets the upper hand Putin.

Then up strides Tony Blair.

We see that Tony Blair is going to actually grab onto Vladimir Putin's hands that, this classic thing of grabbing somebody by the elbow to show who is actually the leader.

Score one for Blair.

Next, it’s President Bush’s turn.

George Bush, on the other hand, then comes in and realizes

he’s on the wrong side of the photo.

Good morning.

So when he reaches into grab, he immediately crowds Putin. So instead of just grabbing and letting Putin grab his arm, George Bush puts his shoulder against Putin so that Putin’s left arm is in no way in the position to grab hold of Bush’s right arm. Then as soon as Bush turns out, he immediately goes for a

little tap but still on Putin’s back to actually give him a push. And Putin, making sure not to be outdone, puts his right arm out and gives Bush a little tap as well.

We’ll call that a draw. Even seated, the bodies of world leaders can speak volumes. Here is a master class from FDR.

With President Roosevelt presiding, the historic conference began.

February 1945, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Joseph Stalin and Winston Churchill famously meet at the Yalta conference.

Big three, surrounded by the Chiefs of Staff, with their staffs and civilian officials, pose for the cameras in the patio of Livadiya Palace.

The allies had worked together for 3 years, but now with the end of the war in sight, Roosevelt knew all that was set to change.

We see three powerful men all wanting to dominate. Visually Roosevelt is in the center, and the central figure always appears to us to be the most important.

And even when he, he’s taking to Stalin, he turns the other way and Stalin leans in. Stalin is actually, if you like, following Roosevelt. Roosevelt is the real leader of the two. Meanwhile Ch urchill’s body language is conveying Britain's diminishing status.

It doesn’t look as though Churchill is a fully equal participant. Not only is his posture hunched up, but Roosevelt

barely ever talks to him and Stalin doesn’t really meet him except to shake his hand.

Churchill has both elbows out. But detail is that he's holding his hat in his lap to cover up his private parts, which felt kind of vulnerable in this situation.

You can see how each of these men, each, if you like, a master in their own country, how they interact with one another, what their relationship is in the world stage.

Ladies and gentleman, the President of the United States.

A politician’s body language can easily give him away, especially when he is under pressure.

-Ladies and gentleman, I welcome this opportunity tonight to meet with the managing editors of the nation’s newspapers. Eh, I want...

It’s the night of November 13th, 1973. Watergate is at a tide. President Nixon holds a live televised question-and-answer session with the nation’s newspaper editors.

-And 8 years of 45,000…

His body language says it all. Nixon knew it was not going to be an easy evening.

-Mr. Quint.

-Mr. President, this morning, governor asked you at Florida addressed this group…

Stop. Right there we see Nixon’s standing with his hands behind his back, which gives the indication that he has nothing to hide, he's got this open front. However, he is holding his wrist like this behind his back, and he is touching himself

like this. It’s called the self-touch gesture. He is basically saying: OK. Here we go. I can get through this.

His words are combative, but his body language betrays anxiety. -As far as money is concerned, how was it possible for you to have this kind of investment when all you earned was 800,000 dollars as President Well, I should point out I wasn’t a pauper when I became president. I wasn’t very rich as President’s goal.

You can see in his body as he is trying to defend himself against the sensory the press called that he's acting like a pack of wolves. He is holding himself away from that podium like he is going to be attacked from it.

In this case, Nixon is trying to protect himself from some searching questions.

-That I welcome this kind of examination. Because people have got to know whether or not their president’s crook, well, but I am not a crook. I've earned everything I’ve got.

He says I am not a crook, and immediately goes to retreat. His body backs away, really clear detail. When somebody makes a statement, a definitive statement and immediately retreats, we know they don’t think they've told the truth. They know they didn’t tell the truth. They were escaping that lie.

Nixon also, suddenly crosses his arms.

He goes immediately from that quick arm-cross to protect himself. Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. I've just said something. I've just said something.

-And also, to the best of my ability...

Right there shaking his head. No.

Time and again throughout this exchange.

Bang, right away.

Nixon displays tellingly defensive body language.

Stop. Look at this.

Everyone’s body language is different. Each person has his own quirks. To unlock the secrets of body language, the experts

rely on an analytical process they call norming.

When it comes to deciphering body language, norming is crucial. Reading body language, you are looking for what’s normal for that situation and you are looking for what’s normal for that particular person.

Using the 24/7 coverage of politicians and celebrities, the experts constructed a template of what’s normal for that person.

See what they do when they are under no press. See what the person in front of you is doing, when you ask them regular questions about life. Then you have a norm.

But even without the chance to get this norm, experts can still read someone’s body language with accuracy.

If you don’t know what’s normal for that person, you go back to the context again and say, “OK, wha t would be normal in

that situation” So if I am asked to look at a suspect in a crime, I’m thinking what would be a normal response for a

husband whose wife is missing, what would be a normal response for parents if their children are missing, and how far from normal is this behavior.

When someone’s body language departs from the norm, it can often be a sign that all is not well.

Britney Spears makes a perfect body language case study, because of her love-hate relationship with living in the public eye. Spears was in a hate mode here.

In terms of how we protect ourselves when we are in trouble, the first thing you have to do, of course especially if you are a celebrity, is you got to cover your eyes. If people can see your eyes, they can see your soul. So she puts on dark glasses whether it’s night or day irrelevant the dark glasses go on. These signs of distress are in marked contrast to the Britney of earlier times.

Wake up, Australia!

Everything was spontaneous and relaxed and look at me. Glossary:

quirk：奇想，怪癖

Taking me.

Now, she’s messed up and her body language shows that lack of control over herself.

Her body language is very defensive whereas it used to be very welcoming. She’s closing down and looking panicky while she used to absolutely adoring the limelight.

Under this kind of intense scrutiny a celebrity’s body language needs a helping hand.

We can only guess if a sort of coaching or advice that someone in her position is getting. But I’m sure she has been advised all the time.

She’s not alone. Take Paris Hilton. She rarely has a night in. So how would she behave on a night out of jail

When Paris Hilton is released from jail, as she emerges into the night, she knows the world is watching.

She knows, or at least has been told, that she’s got to demonstrate that she has learned her lesson. After all, she has actually been to jail. So she can’t come out and be her normal playful self and jump on the table and start lap dancing, because this mo ment doesn’t warrant such behavior.

Her body language has been carefully planned in advance.

And as she walks along, she straightens herself a little bit, because she knows she’s on.

She does a very unusual gesture.

Little kind of prim pose when she gets her hands she crosses her fingers she holds in front of herself like a very good girl. I’ve never seen her do that gesture in any other situation.

In the same way some people arrive fashionably late. She’s leaving prison fashionably punished.

Paris Hilton’s calculated little girl performance was her way of dealing with the inevitable media frenzy surrounding her release from jail. Politicians like celebrities are always in the media’s spotlight. But one world leader has a unique way

of using body language to slide through any situation however embarrassing, George W. Bush.

Glossary:

playful：爱玩的

lap dancing：膝上艳舞

prim：循规蹈矩的，整洁的

The thing about Bush, no matter he says something wrong or he does some silly mistake, what happens with him is he gets, like a kid. He becomes this little secure kid like, "See, I made a mistake." He gets his little shoulder shrug and he won't even
