A breakthrough for women in the mens world of racing, and, in a moment, the Russian Ballet Star Rudolf Nureyev defected to the west. But first, we go back to a Turning Point for china. China was wracked with a civil war between communists and the nationalists. Translation i never even thought about joining the communists. I followed the nationalist party all the way. Im 99 years old, and i still havent changed my mind about that. For most people, life was wretched. Someone had to rescue china from these miserable conditions. There were two men willing to try. One was Chiang Kai Shek, who was leader of the nationalist troops. The other was mao zedong, who wanted to turn china into a communist state. The two men were to become bitter rivals. Translation

Allow american firms to brand their whiskies as scotch. Our Business Correspondent joe lynam reports. Under eu rules of origin, any spirit described as Scotch Whiskey must be aged released three years and matured in scotland. But the Scottish Government says the us negotiators during the recent trade talks with the eu had wanted this definition to be relaxed to accommodate its whiskey makers.
