. now we return to our segment on thestlation of women -- the isolation of women in nepal. belinda, an international writer joins us from ethiopia. i understand that it is the ritual isolation of men's fruituting women -- menstruating women.

what is it based on? >> it's a religion that interprets men trusion as impure. it's practised in different parts of nepal. in kathmandu - some women won't go to the tem mr or kitchen thering their periodful different families think of it differently. it is an extreme example taking place in a remote region of nepal, in the far west, where women are sent outside the family center, to dangerous or less than san itry conditions, into huts or sheds to stay during their period. they can't eat with their family or touch water. >> you mentioned san itry conditions. given that. how dangerous is the practice, is it threatening to women's health? >> i mean, it's dangerous to different degrees, depending on

the situation. it is practised differently in different villages. different families have different setups. sometimes there'll be a perfectly secured shed outside a compound where people can stay during men's struings, but there's opinion dangerous consequences when women are subjected to the elements, they get too cold, they can - if the housing is ipp secure -- insecure, animals can get in or there can be snake bits. and there has been sexual violence incidents. it's dangerous in some cases. they are extreme examples. many women do it all the time without having that problem. >> do all women in nepal have to do this? >> no, absolutely not. this is something practised by most women. the vast majority in acham, it's

a small section of nepal in the far west. other women in the rest of the country do not do this. when we did reporting we'd get a lot of comments from different nepaly women from the capital and other parts of the country that didn't practice it, and considered it strange. it's not something all nepaly women are doing. >> in this region where it's prevalent the supreme court of nepal deemed it illegal. why hasn't it stopped? . >> it's an entrenched cultural practice, while the supreme court deems it illegal, it does not have a lot of state presence. there's not so much thought about law. and with the cultural issues, similar to child marriage, if you outlaw it, it doesn't mean

something entrenched will change. it's a social issues, cultural issue, something that is changing with tile. i think the law is not always the be all and end all of these questions. >> thank you. international freelance writer joining us from ethiopia. the world renowned artist christo is fighting legal battles over his latest project - involving draping fabric over areas in irwin collier. residents oppose it because of damage it will call. >> it's called "over the river," this is the river, the arkansas. what christo wants to do is suspend hundreds of panels of silvery cloth - nearly six miles of it, along a 42 mile stretch

>> hello, welcome to al jazeera america. live from new york city. i'm mad for. >> secretary of state john kerry says the u.s. is ready to help the philippines in the wake of typhoon haiyan. more than 100 are dead after one of the worst storms on record slammed the nation. the hardest hit was leyte, south-east of manila. the storm wiped away buildings, reducing homes to rubble. relief workers are struggling to provide food and aid. >> typhoon haiyan is heading for vietnam, where people are bracing for the worst. we are joined by our correspondent craig in manila. what is the government doing to help the survivors? >> well, the government is trying to get into the areas. the devastation is so great it's

difficult to land choppers in many places. in fact, we have just been getting in aerial pictures now, which show the complete devastation. the government has been trying to do aerial surveys across the path of this typhoon as it traced its way through the philippines, and they have a c130 ready to go in cebu, but they are waiting for tomorrow and clearance to get in and help people in that part of the philippines. the government estimates are putting the potential death up to 20,000-30,000 people. so far, as you mentioned only 100 confirmed dead. >> 30,000, that's a big difference. the u.s. - we mentioned that they said they are ready to help. has the philippines reached out to the international community for aid. >> yes, well, they do need help. there's ngos on the ground

moving in to assist, particularly bringing in food and water. many areas have been cut off and food and water supplies ran out. the government was aware that - of the damage likely to have been caused by the typhoon, and they moved in a pre-emptive strike before the typhoon arrived, bringing in food and water. much of that was washed away. in leyte, they had storm surges of 15 feet, causing major problems. we are getting reports from our correspondent that bodies in the street - correspondents and crew were forced to abandon their position, climbing on to the roof of a hotel to scope floodwaters and had to wait for them to recede before they could seek help. >> given the scope of devastation with bodies in the streets and our own correspondents on rooftops - what can we expect in the next

few days in terms of aftermath. >> that's the point. that's why the government is saying that they are getting ready for a high death toll count. as i megesed they are saying estimates could -- mentioned they are saying estimates could be as high as 20,000-30,000. power and communication has been cut across the country and many of the islands are without communication. they are still to receive any sort of help. it won't be until tomorrow, where as soldiers deployed into the area, and first responders are able to help and report back. >> thank you so much. craig from manila. for the latest on the track of the storm, let's break-in in our metrologist. we'll watch the formidable storm as it makes its way west

and north-west. as it made its way across the philippines, tracking across the central philippines. typically when they push across the central philippines and portions of leyte, they move slower, and it triggers landslides. as the storm moved is dumped an abundance of rain fall. we are talking a storm surge as much as 20 feet high. a lot o areas is below sea level. rescuers were dealing with over cast skies and now the storm has pushed to the west, it sky is clearing up, but there's debris over the roadway. the water is high across the terrain. it's hard to get in and assess the damage and rescue people. now we have to worry about

vietnam, the storm pushing across the south china sea. the water is cooler. it will weaken tremendously as it made its way across the central philippines, packing winds of 190 miles per hour. it's an estimate. a lot of you have heard in reports that the storm may be the strongest storm to make landfall across a nation, across a country and we won't know that because unlike the united states, this area of the world, they do not send flights into the path of a storm. this is an estimate. as i said we are going to have to worry about vietnam. preparations are under way. the storm will pack maximum sustained winds close to 120 miles per hour, when it makes land fall sunday morning. evacuations are underway, preparations under way. we'll monitor the system as we track into the next 24 hours.

back to you. thank you so much. now, some progress in talks on iran's nuclear program. british foreign secretary william hague is not certain a deal will be reached by the end of the day, but many important issues need to be resolved. leaders have made trogz. hague and foreign count parts, including secretary of state john kerry are on the third day of meetings. >> phil itner joins us now. what can you tell us about the latest round of meetings? >> well, these meetings - the amount of these meetings is increasing and the intensity level seems to be increasing alongside. we know that last night there was a trilateral meeting between e.u. representative catherine ashton, the iranian foreign minister mohammad javad zarif, and the secretary of state john kerry. he has cancelled a trip to stay here and continue more meetings,

and since the talks have begun, there's an air of cautious optimism and there remains that air. as british foreign secretary william hague says - there's no guarantee there'll be a deal. >> there are important issues to resolve. clearly they are not over quote. we'll have to give time and attention to the issues during the course of today. there is no fixed time for us to reach a conclusion. . >> so, there you have it. a lot of this is happening behind closed doors. we don't know what is on the tail. with the russian foreign minister having arrived today and news that a chinese high level dig natry is on his way it appears that the heavy hitters are coming to down or are already here, and some are taking that as a sip that we may -- sign that we may see a

breakthrough. >> phil itner, live from geneva. thank you for being with us. >> the opposition syrian national coalition is holding a 2-day general assembly to determine whether to take part in upcoming peace talks. what have the members come to discuss. >> sorry, i didn't quite hear that, can you go again. >> sure, anita, what has the members come to discuss? >> they have come to discuss a number of issues, four principle ones - the routine is the confirmation of the shadow syrian government the the one that everyone is watching is the issue of whether they participate in the geneva ii. these are the delayed much talked about and almost everyone would agree badly needed

negotiations over how to resolve the dispute in syria in nonmilitary ways. this is an issue that divides many syrians. it divides the syrian national coalition, and it's an issue that is hotly contested within syria, many people inside syria do not feel there is any piece negotiation unless the president of syria commits to stepping down. that is the platform on which the many of the delegates here are entering this. they are dammed if they do and damned if they don't. everyone else, including the regime said they'd be there. the syrian national coalition - if it designs it isn't going to be a party, then it has to come up with good reasons why. it will be whether the stakes are too high or whether it finds a way to refuse to go. these issues that they'll be

discussing. two other issues on the table is including the kurds, more in the opposition grouping. the kurds have been in and out of negotiations. we have seen them participate, walk out because there are as many lines between the kurds and the arabs in syria as on any other issue as you might expect. thirdly, fourthly, and in a way most importantly, they have to do more to negotiate with the fighters inside. >> thank you for joining us. ending the violence, members of syria's national coalition hold a 2-day general assembly. police in italy arrested a man in relation to the death of hundreds of african migrants killed in a boating accident. he's believed to be a member of an armed group that organised the boat which caught fire, capsized and sank near lampedusa. some of the 55 migrants that

as you can imagine it will be difficult to get communication there. we appreciate what craig is telling us, and we'll check in with him again. vietnam is buckling down, preparing for the worst of typhoon haiyan. residents were seen placing sandbags and tying down roofs. authorities ask 500,000 to evacuate ricky areas. >> progress to tell you about, talks an iran's nuclear program. british foreign secretary william hague is not certain a deal will be reached, but says leaders made good progress. hague and his counterparts, including secretary of state john kerry. we are joined from there by phil itner. what do you know about what progress has been made? >> well, the exact nature of the

progress is behind closed doors. it's interesting to note, and we are hearing that the latest round of trilateral meetings between the e.u. representative, and secretary of state john kerry and others - following a five our session yesterday. the talks have been coming. bilaterals, trilaterals - high ranking officials. the russian foreign minister is here. despite the tense talks, the british frect says there's no guarantee there'll be a deal. >> there are important issues to resolve. clearly they are not over yet, we'll have to give time and attention to the issues during the course of today.

there's no fixed time for us to reach a conclusion. >> now, when secretary of state john kerry arrived yesterday, he said that he was here to narrow gaps. what they are - well, there's a lot of speck u laying, but as the talks continue, a third day. it appears as though sox incremental progress is being made. we'll have to wait and see to hear whether or not there'll be a deal. >> any idea when that will be - when will we get an update? >> well, the clock is ticking. here is the double edge sword about bringing in every country's top diplomat. the secretary of state john kerry cancelled one trip to north africa. he's supposed to go to abu derby. the poiments have other --

diplomats have other agenda areas. the russian foreign minister is supposed to go to italy. they are all the top dogs, they have other things on their plate. the clock is ticking. it can't go on for longer. >> they are busy people with critical things on their agenda. thank you, fit itner. >> it has been nearly 100 days since the election of iran's new president, hassan rouhani. we travel to one of the holy cities to find out what people think of hassan rouhani's progress so far. >> reporter: in iran there's a list. on it the names of those whose offenses range from the criminal through the political. han are students and k -- many are students and academics caught up in the 2009 election. >> this man was one of them, on the list for four years.

with no explanation he was banned from attending university. >> translation: i was in journalism. during the post-electoral incident i was arrested briefly. we sat the test and they didn't give us our results and call us star students. verbally i was told i was not allowed to study. >> until now. he's been allowed back to university. he thanks the president for that. >> one of iran's respected minds says hassan rouhani used his first 100 tas in office to gee given the -- days in office to begin the process of taking the country back from radicals. >> i have been in gaol for more or they say one years.

personalry i have no complaints, because it has been a cost that i should pay for my face and country. i'm happy that after the four or eight years, everything is clear for everybody. >> those eight years belong to the previous government of mahmoud ahmadinejad, which fired hundreds of professors for not sharing its ideaiology. human rights campaigners, activists and academics. it closed doze ebbs of newspapers and blacklisted the largest organization of journalists. since hassan rouhani's election many have been released. including the leaders of the reformist green movement. what iranians conclude is that thekmistic situation is changing, but slowly.

since hassan rouhani's election, many have gained back their freedom. when it comes to other systems, like human rights. many iranians are hard pressed to see improvement. the constitution is still the constitution, and the law the law. and the president swore to uphold it, not to change it. joining us to better understand what a deal on iranon's nuclear program could bean is dr tim walsh. good to see you. >> good morning. >> we don't know what is happening in the room, in the talks at the moment. what are the overarching major sticking points? >> i think there's a little leakage. i think we have some idea. i hesitate to engage in this humour. this is about france.

they have the ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. france wants - we have two deals, a starter deal an interim deal paving its way to a broader agreement. france on the iraq reactor - this is a special heavy water reactor that could be used as part of a bomb program if you add other components. the french watt that stopped during the initial period. when i was in new york meeting with the president and the foreign minister i was told, "yes, iraq will deal with that in the second phase", france wants to dealt with now. there's issues around the type of of sagess. -- sanctions. the p 5 plus one is acting narrowly. the thing that is holding us up

is the french. >> the french wanting to see more upfront. benyamin netanyahu says that's what israel would like more of. he feels it's too easy a deal for iran. and do you say to that? >> i question whether benyamin netanyahu wants a deal. he's insisting iran dismantle every nuclear facility, zero enrich m, wipe the ground clean. it will not happen. there's no way the iranians would agree to that. which sissing on that as an outcome -- encysting on that as an outcome - we don't want that. >> the p5 - they all are - they all agree whatever deal we have iran will have limited enrichment. we will not allow 20%. we shouldn't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. >> how do you explain the u.s.'s

eagerness to close the deal. is it the work of hassan rouhani or driven by the u.s. where does it come from? >> it's a unique moment. it's the first time i can remember where both sides have the same attitude about this. they want to move quickrily. the u.s. wants to move quickly, it doesn't want the program to expand or be on a road that leads to military action. they would rather move faster than slower. wonderfully and incidentally the rainians want to move quickly. you had the wonderful piece about the first 100 tas. the irane president wants to -- iainy president wants to sign a deal. and say, "you voted for change", let us do the job.

he wants to show both sides are moving quickly. >> the u.s. has a complicated relationship with saudi arabia. where do they fit in to this? >> it is complicated. they are an actor. it was a funder for the syrian rebels. saudi arabia does not like iran. they are rivals. saudi arabia doesn't want a situation where iran gets out of the doghouse, because they are a player, reducing saudi arabia's influence. ed saudis don't think iran will build a bomb and don't want to see military strikes, but want as much pressure on iran as possible. it's not sustainable forever, we can't sanction forever with so much happening. at some point we need to have a deal. we'll have to see what comes of this, dr jim walsh, research

welcome back. it's a devastating thought. what would you want to happen if you were on life support after a life-altering accident. would you choose life in a wheelchair or prefer to die. recently a man was left paralyzed after falling from a tree. he removed himself from life support. with us to discuss end of life care. is a professor. thank you for joining us mr kaplan. it's unusual about mr bower's situation is he was in a coma. his family had him woken up from the coma to have the discussion with him about what he wanted. what are the riskses in a situation like that? . >> this is unusual in ta the

speed of the decision is remarkable. he's in a tree hunting. situation up, his family is around and someone is saying, "do you want to stay on ventilation?" he can't speak because he has a breathing tube. shakes his head and says no. says it to his family. when you get decisions like this, if we suffered a terrible injury we'd wait a little bit, maybe a few days, maybe a week to see can you adjust to the circumstance. mr bower made a fast decision. >> the risk being that props this person hasn't had time to process their situation. >> exactly. i don't think he's incompetent, he knew who he was, but he's stunned, staggered. normally you want to give him a little time to adjust. he had had a discussion with his family. he said earlier, "i don't want

to be in a wheelchair" that makes me feel for comfortable. he had said and had that discussion and said, "i don't want to be that way", as touch as this is, the lesson is you have to have that discussion with family and friends now, before you get into these situations. >> so many people think, "i'll deal with that later in life", he was 3 it. talk about broaching the topic with people you care about. >> you know the holiday even is coming, family and friends will gather. use it case. "i saw that on tv, heard it discussed. this is what i think, i want everything or i want you to be my decision-maker or i don't want anything if i was disabled out of the blue." everyone from 18-88 should have the discussion. it's tough, but you have to have

it. otherwise, how is your family going to know what you want. >> you are burdening them. if you have the discussion you save them. >> thank you dr kaplan, that's a great point. thank you so much. >> before we let you go we'll check in with the forecast with meteorologist. good morning, it's a cooler morning across the north-east. it will worm up to a comfort -- warm up to a comfortable day. new york city at 39. back in the billings 37. 43 through seattle. the rain is coming down. the higher elevations the snow is coming down. toronto reaches a high of 49. a beautiful day in philadelphia. the cooler air is definitely on the way. we'll be in the 20s and the 30s.
