The goings and comings of powerful men

General Valery Gerasimov has been appointed chief of the general staff of the Russian Army.

Justin Welby, the Bishop of Durham, has been appointed the new Archbishop of Canterbury.

David Petraeus has resigned as chief of the CIA, issuing a statement saying that he had engaged in an extramarital affair.

The Rusians jailed young women for performing lewd sexual acts in a church.

The Church of England is greatly divided over the appointment of women bishops and same sex marriage.

And the head of the CIA, the man who designed and planned the 'surge' in Iraq and Afghanistan, is gone from one of the top jobs in the world because of his behaviour with a woman.
