something doesn't work you have to find another way. but it's very sad that some people lose their businesses because they can't fulfill their obligations, pay their salaries or rent. >> not much consolation for svetlana. if she can find a smaller place with cheaper rent, she'll reopen. if she can't it's finito for svetlana. >> thomas, good evening. >> hi, this is al jazeera america. >> obama: what they did here will reverberate through the ages. >> thousands gathered to honor them including many who were there on bloody sunday. and boko haram announce their allegiance to isil on the same day that it launches new attacks inattacks.

and the u.n. vow to improve the lives of women. [music] >> if someone had told me that after crossing this bridge that one day i would be back here introducing the first african-american president, i would have said you're crazy. you're out of your mind. you don't know what you're talking about. president barack obama. >> one of the leaders of the historic march across the edmund pettus bridge in selma alabama returned to reflect on the moment.

president barack obama was one of the leaders who celebrated the movement. 50 years ago the marchers were attacked by police after crossing that very bridge. a terrible day led directly to the voting rights of 1965, and the president honored the courage of those men and women. >> we honor those who walked so we could run. we must run so our children soar and we will not grow weary, for we believe in the power of an awesome god and we believe in this country's sacred promise. >> tonight, tony harris is live in selma, where he watched the day's events on this powerful day. tony, good evening to you. >> thomas, indeed, a powerful day. it's great to welcome you to selma, alabama as many as 40,000 people converged on this wall town today to commemorate to mark one of the seminal

moments of the civil rights moments. [♪ singing ♪] >> on a sun-splashed day in selma, alabama georgia congressman, a man who was beaten on the bring, was here speaking about the here and now. >> don't give up, don't get lost in a sea of despair. stand up for what you believe. >> next it was the moment most had come to see the 44th president of the united states, and the first african-american president with his predecessor george w. bush

with him described bloody sunday 50 years ago. >> it was not a clash of armies but a clash of wills. a contest to determine the meaning of america. >> he perceived to highlight priorities rolling back poverty. a good education for all americans and the strengthening of the voting rights act. >> what is our excuse today for not voting. how do we so casually discard the right for which so many fought. how do we shape america's future. >> the president cautioned against the shooting death of michael brown in missouri. >> if you think that nothing has changed in the last 50 years ask someone who lived through the selma chicago or

los angeles of the 1950s. instead, he focused on his view of what america is, as he exhorted young people to take the lead in shaping the country. >> you are america unconstrained by habit and convention unencumbered by what is because you are ready to seize what ought to be. >> and then the final act in this emotionally charged day barack obama and his family along with president bush and first lady laura bush walking across the edmund pettus bring and right into the history books. >> well, thomas, as you can see the buss are starting to take the people back to where they came from. the forklifts are starting to remove the guardrails. the stage where the president delivered his remarks are broken down. the commemorations winding down for the evening only to begin again tomorrow with the jubilee

bridge crossing across the edmund pettus bridge, and then i understand there is a big concert that will wrap up the festivities tomorrow evening. from selma, it's back to you. >> tony, i have to ask you here with this big smile that you're displaying on this day of reflection what did you take away from this day? >> given to me once again. we have a bus knocking over guardrails. there is a tour bus let's just give folks a look at what we're seeing here. and then if you would give me the question again and i'll answer it for you. >> i know they're trying to clear the scene there. what did you take away from this day of reflection tony? >> a remarkable day really, i suppose for me i was reminded of how far the nation has come in its civil rights life, and a number of the speakers from john lewis to the president certainly remarked on how much more work is left to do.

i think about section 5 of the voting rights act section 4 of it was struck down. the president making remarks today suggesting that it's ridiculous that 50 years after the march four voting rights in a are key provisions of the voting rights struck down. i was struck by the president speaking to the next generation, essentially he was saying that it's your time, your moment to continue the movement and shape the next 50 years. so many things i will take away in the not only the president's remarks, but the atmosphere, the feeling, the mood of the today so update. i wasn't sure what to expect. it is the 50th anniversary of a very somber occasion, but spirits were soaring so high, and i'll take that with me. >> time to reflect in selma

thank you. from across the country average americans came to selma retracing the steps of civil rights pioneers, robert ray is joining us live from selma a day filled with so many emotions robert. >> big time, and tony summed it up well in his reporting that it was so festive and no one knew what to expect, but it was very happy here on the streets of selma, alabama today. people were around the country literally converging on this small town of just 20,000 people so many families, so many kids. people of all colors. we had the honor to speak to several of them throughout the course of the day. let's listen to what one mom and her two daughters who drove here from atlanta had to say. >> our children, you know, they have opportunities that we never had before. that my mom never had before,

and it's important for us, number one, to be able to make sure that our kids understand the privileges that they have, not only that, but for them to understand that even though they have that privilege there are some people who don't look at them the way that they should. >> and that says it all which she just spoke that there is still a racial divide in america, and that sometimes you know some people just don't look at people who are not the same color that they are in the right way. that mother trying to educate her daughters as she went across the bridge today and we caught up with her when she got back. you know, we talked to another man today who grew up in selma left many years ago but came back and he told us a very interesting thing about this city. he was five years old in 1965 when the march occurred 50 years ago. he said that his mother was a nurse this in town, and he

remembers her coming home and smelling like the canisters that the police sent through the crowd, the tear gas, a smell that he'll never get out of his head. he went on to give poignant remarks. let's hear what he had to say. >> i think that the speech that the president gave was a very powerful speech. it did something that the nation needs to hear and understand that it's not just one color it's all colors that he's trying to make things better for them. >> and this is not over. as the march begins tomorrow here from selma they'll head the roughly 54 miles to montgomery alabama hoping to arrive on friday where hundreds of people will make that trek. as the president and many other dignitaries and people in the crowd said today they hope this is just the beginning of more dialogue across the country as

to how we can improve race relations in america. >> did you get a sense this was not just a day to reflect but light ahead? >> absolutely. no question about it. and there were a lot of crops what came down from ferguson today. you could just tell that they were looking for some comfort you know, many of them were walking around, and people were coming up to them and trying to talk with them about their experiences over the past few months. clearly rough ones because we all know what happened in ferguson this past august, and in the months after that. i think it was randall pinkston who earlier today said on air that this is not just a southern issue, meaning race relations. this is all across america. you know, it's been only 50 years historically that is not a long time. that's really just a very short period. so the road ahead clearly a big

one, lots of challenges as outlined by many people today. we'll see exactly how much america really wants to get down to brass tacks and figure this issue out. >> robert ray in selma tonight. thank you. >> we're going to have a lot more on selma later tonight in our weekly segment we'll focus on race in america in selma's legacy. that's coming up in just a few moments. turn to go other news, boko haram fighters pledge their allegiance to isil. the mental was posted on the group's twitter account. it's not the first time that the group has made such an pledge. it comes after 50 people died in multiple bombings in nigeria. the bombings led to another 140 injuries. the deadliest blast killed 18 people at a fish market. >> another bomb today in

northern nigeria. these are attacks by suspected boko haram fighters. medical workers struggle to save those they can. that has become a routine in the north. >> the dead are in the morgue, and the injured are being treated. there are reports that it was the work of both male and female suicide-bombers. >> dozens have been killed the city now home to a million people displaced by boko haram violence. this is the bloodiest attack on the city since boko haram attempted to seize it. people here have become so used to the violence and are concerned about how to live the next day. the forces from cameroon chad give resistence to boko haram. now the group has stepped up

attacks on soft targets like marks and bus stations. this has caused a lot of concern for nigerians who have witnessed such attacks before. >> the families of three british teens believed to have gone to syria to join isil say the police have let them down. they say authorities withheld information they believe could have prevented the teens from leaving. >> they're just 15 and 16 years old, but in all likelihood they made it from london to syria to join isil. the story has shocked britain. how could three successful school girls leave? >> we just want you to come home. if you're watching this, baby, please come home. mom needs you more than anything the world. >> this cctv video shows them in

istanbul. in february the police gave the girls letter about speaking to them about their missing friend who had fled to syria. >> what would you have done? >> we just discussed about it, and we can take their passports away from them. the police service issued a statement stating that there was nothing at the time that would suggest that the girls were at risk. the girls were spoken to in december 2014 as part of the routine inquiry by officers investigating the disappearance

of their friend. the police here have admitted more could have been done to get the letters directly to the girls' families. we'll never know if that would have stopped them from running away but everybody will want to learn lessons from this story. al jazeera london. >> brazil's supreme court has approveed the investigation much 53 people in the alleged part in a scandal. >> the list of names was released by brazil's supreme court. among the 54 people accused of taking bribes, their former president and both speakers of chambers of congress. investigators alleged private firms play corrupt officials in order to get lucrative contracts from petrobras.

president rousseff chaired the board for seven years when much of the corruption is expected to have taken place. she has been cleared from any involvement in the scheme. speaking before the list of names was released, she said that her focus was on fixing brazil's struggling economy. >> we're now entering a new phase in confronting the crisis in which a number of things are needed. >> it has undermined support for rousseff, who is struggling to stay out of recession. the petrobras scandal has been going on for months. and many are calling for those to be held accountable before the investigation is completed. >> you would not necessarily have to wait for the end of the investigation or for the sentencing process. if there was evidence against

that member of parliament it would go to the ethics boards and then go to the open vote. >> under brazilian law elected politicians can only be tried by the supreme court which must now decide with the help of prosecutors if there is enough proof to put them on trial. >> a madison wisconsin, police officer is on leave this evening after shooting and killing an unarmed plaque teenager. tony robinson assaulted officer matt kenny inside an apartment identified by neighbors as robinson. the police got a call that robinson was jumping in and out of traffic after 6:00 p.m. the second call came that evening saying that the man was responsible for battery. the officer forced his way into the apartment after hearing a disturbance. the officer reported that

robinson knocked him down hitting him on the head lead together shooting. >> he was unarmed. this is going to make it all the more complicated for the investigators, the public to wait accept, understand and wait patiently for what other circumstances, if any were there that were attended to this scene such that deadly force had to be used. >> robinson's mother said that her son was not a violent person. >> my son is never been a violent person. my son was so into watching everything that happened on ferguson. he was one of the people who spoke out about this constantly. and to know--to turn around and have him die the same thing that he was so fearful of, it's not fair. [ chanting black life matters ] >> we want to point out that protesters staged demonstrations near the police headquarters.

madison police chief said that the officer had been involved in a police shooting but was cleared of any wrongdoing. coming up next, a deeper look into the legacy left behind by the heroes of 1965. security council. >> about issues that impact your world. >> infectious diseases are a major threat to health. >> "the week ahead". sunday 8:30 eastern. only on al jazeera america.

>> welcome back. 50 years ago people began to march across the edmund pettus bridge in selma. tonight we take a deeper look at the legacy. president. >> obama: barack obama topped the list of dignitaries. we followed the steps of civil rights leaders like john lewis who were beaten when reaching the other side. the president spoke of the sacrifices the original marchers made. >> we honor those who walked so we can run. we must run so our children soar

and we believe in the power of the awesome god and we believe in this country's sacred promise. >> the president offered a call to action during his speech. he's urging cropping to pass a new version of the voting rights act. he wants to roll back poverty with a plan providing jobs and education reform and calling for reforms in the system, addressing unfair sentencing practices in prisons. we go to an associate professor and bill payne former chair of the naacp, great to have you both with us on this very historic day. >> thank you. >> how should this movement be defined 50 years later? >> well, i think that obvious by the selma march 50 years ago was memorialized today as a very

monumental move. recognizing those people who participated 50 years ago at that particular time something that needed to be done, should be done and memorialize that. when i think about it, however 50 years ago today, 50 years later, there is so much more that needs to be done. there is so much more that we would have hoped to have been accomplished by this time. unfortunately, it seems as though the racism that we experience way back then is rearing it's ugly head again and has never gone away. i think what we're going to see now with the selma march and with the ferguson issues, those are going to awaken people now who say that there is a lot of work left to do. >> as we look at these haunting images ms. gillispie, this was not only a day to reflect on the past but to shine a light.

>> yes there is going to be a lot of commemoration today and today was certainly a day of remembrance. president obama did outline certain strategy that he wanted and causes he wanted to take into the future. he did also make some nods to criminal juts reform. i would have liked him to have given more detail about this proposal, but most important thing is not march 7th, but what happens on march 8th and march 9th. we'll see his plans and that's a good thing. >> is there a moment that stuck with you today in selma? >> there were lots of moments. the fact that people stood outside for six hours waiting for the president. and that people were just really respectful and really hopeful. there was a counter demonstration. and i think over all there was a

really important day and this was an important time for us to reflect on how far the country has come, an also how far we have to go. >> how far we still have to go. mr. payne, i want to share an image back in the day. you were a student at rutger's university. you met with dr. martin luther king. how did he shape your thoughts in your vision for the future. this is you right here. >> that's me, that's right. at that time i was national chairman of the youth chapter of the naacp. i was a student at rutgers university. i was selected to be the chairman of the convention in 1956 as a matter of fact, at the civic auditorium, and dr. king was going to be the keynote speaker. there were only three speakers that day bill payne, myself, and that's me leading dr. king

down. in that photograph is medgar he havhe evers. i said he was going back to mississippi even though he was threatened with assassination. he went back, and he gave his life. that's why bill payne and others committed the rest of my life to work as hard as i could if he gave his life, and the least i do could is the same. >> you chose a life of politics. what was it like to be a political figure of color? >> well, one of the things that i learned because of people like that that you must do everything you possibly can wherever you are to try to change the situation here. when i was a member of the state legislature i tried to use my

position to bring about change. i took on issues that some were very unpopular in the legislature, but i didn't care. one was i introduced legislation that is now law that says that the african-american contribution to this country must be infused in the regular curriculum, not only for black schools, not only for february, but throughout the year in every single school in the state of new jersey so every student will know of the contributions that plaque people black people have made. >> please stand by, i want to talk about the men challenges to to--the many challenges to have the right to vote. one in 13 americans cannot vote because of felony convictions. our randall pinkston has more on the fight to get them back on the electoral role.

>> david owns a car service in montgomery alabama. he's looking forward for a busy weekend with the selma to montgomery march. a half century ago they were trying to put an end to racial discrimination in voting a struggle that inspired saddler. he was 18 when he lost his voting rights after taking a plea bargain for drug possession and fleeing police. he handed a non-profit organization to restore voting. >> right i was helping people to get the vote back, and i couldn't vote. >> it is a national vote. >> there are 4.5 million americans who are living and working in our communities who cannot vote. if you include people who don't have the right to vote because they're incarcerated, that's 6 million. >> except for maine and vermont every other state limits the

voting rights of felons. voter restrictions have a racial history. >> many of the laws that exist on the books today disenfranchising people in criminal convictions can be traced back to jim crow era when states are being forced to allow freed african-american men to be able to vote. but we're trying to look for other ways to keep them from voting. >> the worst example were in the deep south. according to a report, mississippi lawmakers once proposed to disenfranchise voters for burglary, threat and arson on the theory that those crimes would likely be committed by african-americans. later several states used poll taxes and subjecttive literacy tests. those measures were banned by the 1965 voting rights act but restrictions continue. >> many believe as i did that it's a civil rights issue.

>> mark kennedy a retired alabama supreme court who was working to change the law. >> obviously there is very little sympathy in the public for those who commit crime. but at the same time why take away a person's right to vote. they've paid their debt to society. they've served their term in prison. we're a country of second chances and most americans believe once you serve your time, you deserve all the rights of citizenship. that includes the right to vote. >> the center is getting success to get some state legislature to ease restrictions but rules are complicated. >> everything has to be organized. >> it took david saddler 15 years to get a pardon which restored his voting rights. >> so many people have died in sacrifice along the way just for the right to vote. they took my vote away. i said whatever i have to do to get that right to vote back, i'm going to do it. >> saddler still works on the restore the vote project in

alabama where there are 250,000 ex-fell ons whose freedom are restricted. >> many are fighting to get their rights back, yet many young people believe that their votes simply don't count. how do we change that? >> well, it takes a lot of factors. first, it takes education. so young people tend not to vote at particularly high rates relative to their elders because they tend to be less knowledgeable and experienced with the political system. i think it's the responsibility of older people, whether it's teachers parents grandparents, community members to teach people and how to vote what i.d. to take and get them involved. it's particularly important for young people of color to see officials who look like them in power. there is a lot of evidence that people who see people like them

in power make them feel empowerment and that translates to higher voter. >> we see people chip away from voting rights. have we taken a step back, in a sense? >> oh, yes, we certainly have. one of the things that i noted over the years is that people have become less involved in fighting the civil rights and have been lulled into a peaceful that they don't seem to be aware that the problem exists as it does. as i said earlier the selma the march today and also this is bringing the whole fight back to the forefront. we used to have many liberal whites who participate in the fight, i've heard many say that among their white friends if they bring up the issue of race, they don't want to talk about it. they seem to deny that it exists. hopefully what we're seeing now with the people becoming more and more aware that these same

people will, in fact, participate. >> will >> will the fact that we have an african-american as president change the dialogue. >> we've seen that's not the case. there are polls that show that civil rights are lower on the poll now than it was when obama took office. i've seen people just simply don't to be aware of the problems that we have. until that community the white community acknowledges that we do have racism, then we're going to have continual problems. >> let's talk about the problems of today. black lives matter. the tension over the deaths of black men brought out a new generation fighting for civil rights.

>> over the past six months in ferguson, month m and other cities all across the united states too often protests erupted into violence. >> we reciprocateed hate with hate, and that's where we went wrong. >> jonathan gentry made headlines when he posted this youtube video. >> stop burning down your communities and where you live because you're mad at the police. >> and he said, older civil rights leaders set an outdated example. >> all you leaders in naacp get it together because this is embarrassing. we need to change our sense of direction. >> and gentry may not be alone. when african-americans were asked if the civil rights era leaders are still effective, 49% said that it's time for new leadership that's compared to 39% who answered that these leaders are still effective. >> and at a new york rally on martin luther king day many

protesters seem to agree. >> the reason why people like al sharpton and jesse jackson get boos, they come to be seen as the spirit of blackness but not now. it's time for the next generation to step and take the movement to the next level. >> we need new ideas. we need fresh thinking. we need new approaches. >> anthony bradley has written several books on race relations. >> it's no longer simply black and white. it's black white, asian, and hispanic. >> and mixed. >> and mixed and all sorts of things on the list. reverend sharpton and reverend jackson may not be the best representative to speak to the today. >> who would be the leader of this new generation? >> that's a good question, we have to wait and see. this idea that there will be one person as representative those

days are just over. >> but reverend jesse jackson insist there was never just one to begin with. >> we always had a broad base of people fighting for their freedom and fighting for their dignity. we never had just one. >> what about those who say that he's too old that his day and come and gone. >> mandela came out leading at 72. moses started preaching at 80. [ chuckling ] i'm excited frankly, to see a generation that comes in the wake of of this exercising some responsibility. >> if reverend jackson represents old school black leadership, dante berry is an example of the new which uses social media to empower young people of color. >> how does social media help you do that? >> we have a number of individuals that are on facebook and twitter particularly about twitter that follow us. if you look at trayvon martin

trayvon parent martin only came to fruition because of a million hoodies. this has shown solidarity and community among black things. >> million hoodies was on to something. among all online users 76% of african-americans are on facebook surpassing whites and hispanic. 29% of african-americans use twitter versus white and hispanics at 16%. >> let's get it together, black folks. let's change our ways. >> the jonathan gentry said it will take more than social media and more than new leaders to overcome racism. change starts at home. >> it's you holding yourself back. it's easier for you to just blame somebody than for you to change within and make a better future for yourself and your children. >> a new way to get the message out.

ms. gillispie, can you see the parallel between the 1965 marchs and the black lives matter movement? >> absolutely. this is the front line of the civil rights movement. there have always been generational struggles within the african-american quest for freedom. so 50, 60 years ago, martin luther king was viewed as a radical but those who thought an incremental approach would be the best approach to receive black rights. it's not unusual that young people today would grow tired of older civil rights leaders like reverend jesse jackson and al sharpton. yanger people have a lot to learn from older people who have constitutional memory there. there is a lot of history and older leaders, if they can present themselves in such a way to offer help to younger people, and use technology and handle issues that are near and dear to their hearts, we can find a happy medium. >> we saw in morgan's report

talking about those days are over. >> one of the things that i learned that many people seem to have been misled. the fact that it's my understanding that in ferguson, after the shootings there there was an election, and the election only 6% of the people bothered to vote, were involved in the election. young people need to understand that unless they are having an impact on elected officials' ability to hold office, they're not going to change anything. many people have been told that my vote does not count. it doesn't matter, therefore i'm not going to vote. that's exactly whoa are the enemies of civil rights want you to do, don't bother voting. but you'll find the percentage of vote something very high because there is a direct coalition between the number of people who are registered and who vote, that we're giving away our power. we're not participating and that's where the power happens to be. my lesson to young people is make sure that you participate--this is where we

are. participatory democracy. this is where we live. if you want to bring about change, you have to be part of it while we work to change other things as well. >> when you look at the movement black lives matter, do you think it's misled? >> they need to benefit from the knowledge of some of those of us who have been around for a while. we're willing to teach and give some guidance, etc. but i think if in fact, we stay on the outside of the mainstream of american government, then we're not going to go able to bring about the changes that are necessary. they're deluding themselves and we're giving away our pow. >> i know it's been dissected and debateed in so many ways, but what are the next steps. >> i think for the blacks lives matter movement into the blacks votes matter movement. as we go into the next election season we need to try to engage elected officials and hold them accountable with votes. if there are elected officials

from dog catcher to president who do not seem to take issues related to racial justice seriously, then though people do not deserve the vote and this group needs to be mobilized. i think as we move forward into this legislative year, that efforts to try to make sure that laws get changed at the local level and state level really continue to--continue to build so that state legislators city council people will lobby and change policy on the local level. if the protests don't translate into meetings with policymakers, and then it's going to come to not. >> mr. payne, your final thoughts? >> final thoughts, we both agree that the elected officials must be held accountable. my point is that, in fact, if we do not participate in voting for them, then these elected officials will listen and walk away. it's so extremely important for us to recognize that the most powerful--one of the most powerful weapons we have is to become registered voters have

impact on the outcome of the election. but if you do not participate then you're not going to have an influence, that's so extremely important. >> we'll have to leave it there bill payne and andrea gillispie, i appreciate your time in a deeper look tonight. presidential candidate was just one who gathered in selma alabama. the president followed in the footsteps of civil rights pie years when he walked across the edmund pettus bridge. we'll have more on that throughout the hour. stay with us. blank

>> this moment is characterized. >> 20 years ago in beijing the nation made a promise to end violence against women. they signed the beijing declaration, a platform for

action. it was a were you print for advancing women's rights. that will be marked tomorrow, international women's days. many are celebrating how far women have come. this elaborate celebration was held in abuja nigeria. they say while there are major gains there is a long way to go. the 300 school girls kidnapped by boko haram are still missing. reportedly some have been forced into marriage and some have been used as human bombs. erica has more on the struggles that women continue to face today. >> from the nigeria girls kidnapped from their schools at young point. and people sold in slavery in isil especially when you see the numbers the united nations says 3 million girls are at risk of genital mutilation, so-called honor killings like this one in

pakistan reportedly take the lives of 5,000 women every year. >> her family was waiting for us and then attacked us. they beat her to death. >> it's hard to know exactly how many women will experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime. the data here at the united nations that number is around 30%. but in some countries it's up to 70%. those staggering statistics have u.n. secretary general ban ki-moon making the protection of women and girls his number one priority. seven years ago he started the campaign to unite to end violence against women. we sat down with the secretary general to hear his take on how far the world has come. >> the process has been too slow, and the result is too uneven. i'm asking all the leaders through their political will to

change these types of issues. >> this is not religion. this is not the way that culture and civilization believes. >> this is why ban is making a major push to get more men involved. >> without changing men's mentality and their behavior, this will not happen. >> what do you think are the biggest obstacles to getting men to leading this charge to prevent violence against women? >> this is still a long, deeply rooted tradition that some how what they believe are perceived perceptions. this is very difficult to change over a life. >> india may be a society on the

verge of change. men charged in the rape and death of a young indian woman blames the victim for her death. >> if they're into the punished properly then they'll keep on doing it and think that if is acceptable. >> for the men leading the charge what is not acceptable is the global pace of change. >> we have to really accelerate it. >> the secretary general is calling for full world worldwide equality. >> we do want to point out there has been some progress made in certain areas since the beijing declaration. there is 45% fewer maternal deaths since 1990. still 202,000 women die every year from preventable pregnancy causes. causes. women still only fill 2 percent of

government positions. womencoming up next in al jazeera america. economic problems are starting to hit russians where they eat. some of their finest restaurant now closed.

>> we have more snow and cold temperatures. >> a welcome break from weather today, and also into our sunday. it will be warming up in places where we get all the snow and ice, so get ready for a lot of puddles to develop across the area the northeast and parts of the northwest. it will stay cold with snow showers. we've got those skirting across
