implement the key policy of amending the constitution the members of the standing committee totally agreed to protect the communist party's policy to amend the constitution is specially to incorporate the xi jinping thought of the new era of socialism chinese characteristics into the law more now from our correspondent adrian brown in beijing. china's national people's congress doesn't do surprises so the outcome of this vote was never really in doubt two thousand nine hundred fifty eight delegates voted to amend the constitution there were three abstentions and two opposed to these changes now that is probably token opposition that's often orchestrated the times like this to give a veneer of transparency but certainly president xi jinping has got his way back in october of course president she's name was in shrine in the constitution making him the most powerful leader since chairman mao president xi jinping has one priority

right now and that is to overhaul china's communist party to make it that the purpose of what we're also seeing is not so much a one party state as one man rule president xi jinping is not just president he's also head of the military as well as party chief but a lot of people are asking why the president is doing this now because he's only just into the second term of his presidency he perhaps wants to send a warning to his rivals that he's not be around for a long time critics argue that president xi jinping is now building a personality called indoctrinating the people with his political philosophy just as chairman mao did but his supporters argue the china faces many challenges right now and to confront those challenges china needs a strong leader and a united party syrian government and russian air strikes has killed at least forty people on saturday and injured dozens in rebel held. women and children are among

sixty years ago right just to date those are the headlines al-jazeera world is next .

the thing. one day type yeah the. one hundred the hot gun few hauled. off in the muck and bath especially the whole thing now in my ride to the house. i've been left a lot to me it's an invitation imagine how the shit i always expect from the national. does the had been. sick. and just when. she. gets home i don't know i don't know how could it be for. us up so you. must call me at a bus she said. well i'm. going. to. i'm

going to. have you go if i'm going to have been center of him up a couple of bucks when i was in all. my days and about how to see that i yes. that's the seven and honest. and said we had another year just that first suddenness as if the one i was it had as shit. but not as it had a nice feature to get i wanted it. in twenty i love it for young on many women decided to break the mold challenge stereotypes and learn to sail. it's

a world that can be dominated by men but as john and she saw it and a side made up the crew of today. and their boat were named after a constellation of stars. i am lucky to have been had i know. the run of it and went to god now i still have. to carry i can't say hey i'm going to go here but how did that oh my god evident i knew it. and not even i would have my name to us and i'm going to fit it and a that i had been very different to how one can white coat it. with the head do look at us as a little. but not as a pattern i says and that i was the. land in. or out and we stand i was do that in this she couldn't. have been in

a comedy show. i know we. had if it had. just been santa ana. one of. the. people giving. me to go so we can get that what. do you go. for. in the bottle when all the stuff.

in the minority. on both team for what i want to part. in the. sale is funded by the government and started in two thousand and eight its stated aim is to revive our months merry time heritage promote the country internationally and quote use the power of sport to contribute to the development of the people. they're calling it but i think. that i bought my own line of paddy to let it go and if you have based there. that they're.

all up till now i dumped enough to deal with a looking. well guy then a woman to look at them turned into. need of them time i need to. i will you probably can fly home though all of that interview in a column w. that. when i joined the company a year and a half ago those women would just starting to do some racing and it was just a one off opportunity but then they did so well the idea was such

a good one that it was decided we should we should let them continue they enjoyed it. it's hard work but they seem to like. this point here we. want. the same mad. men who've been out to look on and.

then take him to. the head be feeble almost effing misto at the. some of the. and son i am in bed. with dan rather and the jeff toobin i was just sort of got out of bed when i thought i. feel lost about all sorts. yet the but i was there i thought. i would just work with us on what is

a book and nothing just i'm just my own work i'm done with it then the resume has the thoughts i would in a can another file and slip would. have been a part of the live hit that i would miss. the young women had to pass an initial training stage in order to be accepted at home and sail. like a. mobile again but not. under seal but had come to look i'm. just a. kid doesn't agree why we got on with the guy a good woman and why every day when you get. there with a wife you got a good fantasy but at the end it was a matinee with a. smile and a thing and wife but i don't wear the honey. you look on t.v. and got a warning and. then watch

a video grab me on the shouting about you. it's more typical laughter that was on most of us and why should i go with all that said we it's going to make the high forwards of our. we. met. sharon is says progress out at sea was unfortunately affected by an untimely illness but the company offered her a job on dry land in the education center now she teaches young children about the sea and tries to inspire other young armani's to get involved in sailing. i think it would be a complete episode up. their message. about

a survivor are no one of them and. then there's the how. of them. a man has over three thousand kilometers of coastline and so has always had a close relationship with the sea and not just through fishing. pearl diving goes back centuries before the common era and the ancient probe ground stretched along the arabian gulf coast beyond the strait of hormuz that separates it from. by the one thousand nine hundred twenty two centuries gulf pearls were among the most highly sought after and brought in considerable revenue . but pearl diving was an exclusively male domain.

for mr. business. and i think that having them up and get ready. to get out of. the heavy. award. this stereotype is that men go to sea to fish and that women stayed home to keep house. but some parts of our money society have always challenged that common beliefs and then wish them and they get. the ability i think a. good. model for if you don't mind

that have. he. ought to be you. know our money in the. gulf countries to change is a question they wrestle with on an almost daily basis how to maintain traditions in the face of rapid growth and minors station and how to balance local values with outside influences. different countries adopt varying approaches as do individual families.

so we. i believe you hate the livest you know one of these oh a small one hundred was in one of trying to write up the numbers.

and what. kind of herself was about a month or so and mother had them only. she wanted to learn mom the original arson given for to get on a shuttle or to man and start up back in hiding and this is her lucky so i got a sub ahead of hell about it now hello you know why it has. got out of whack it down and i'm sure you know the how and yet it but. there is a girl in the lot that's what they are you know how the little sleep because in the last one was here a shocker i think i'm all good it was a good ten and a good year to help build your back which will with all the hell you could there my leg because i got lost there perhaps a better view moved a little vine well if you could tell if you move or who are you are you got the gun

now is it a model that. it can it does your well i don't know ruger. i think the reaction has been great because i think the most important thing that we shown people with very very. women's program and that's not just the race team but all all the program is you can be a very. good woman in a traditional sense you know you can you can be. a wife you can be your daughter you can be a mother but you can also have this adventure you can also learn to sail and teach other people than inspire people and i think because we've shown that you can do both. you can still you can still be a good i'm only a woman and also a very talented so going off around the world showing or showing everybody how how

strong our money people are. the young women and their families had to think carefully about the effect their certainly would have on family life and whether it might affect their marriage prospects or responsibilities in the future. to let her know what i thought up a clip of a silent miscall and then. as work with what i want to have the. results have been a man hour this was that it gave us this a part of what he. was sure that we are has been and good to validly haematoma haven't. got. one bad day off. or any. ahead. and when any within. so we saw what has happened and if there is hello it up and.

role models are important in sport especially for young people. the most successful sports women in our man has been the tennis player fatah and the panty and then the kids and i took up one of her new year and they were them up with. a little within a human a human can within her maybe even a normal reality rigby ac with me that's when my salary of a kid in that when i had one nearly forgot the land i like living here you know so i thought i set up and there how. someone who didn't how much less and if a cellphone or. a short of. never on him. i meant to. dawn when a girl is an african woman got away with herself when where. and how else the heck

could become had run out of it. at the when the them. and their pennies are man's number one tennis player she started playing at the age of four and at her best in two thousand and ten was ranked three hundred sixty two in the world. she still plays an international tennis federation tournament and is a successful doubles player winning in las palmas in spain in august twenty seventh . for as she is a role model. have a lie have a set of free will i met them and sell them i can invest in the falcon i can on someone four. or five and a half or have a steak even in the fair and then the second that you fit in the chill fifi head funny. nickel burma and. out of beer and say it's anecdotal and that's a man and a cornfield ma ma fucking of us and them and fucking.

but public support from high profile figures like fast men and the panel did not guarantee except insofar as by every sector of our money society. even the men's team sometimes the tracks opposition. hannaman into by the way the distance the model and the car that are on the money or how the union if a footman is a in the mess i'm not motherly on him sort all i had the full lend or hello of in the my bed and shovel full of. been begun to. do her best to show her. my feet she ya need to hunt for. zero

or how the she took off never. is that often a hostler the kind with. the with an. apollo accept then when the looked at it going under. in a lot of on a shoot or how. many in the. path i'm going to but not that i thought what small home for them and coffee to what could be a cup and what's. going on and how. they can know when they're out of going out and. the girls come along and they work just as hard as the boys and if they lose to the boys then they say right tomorrow you know tomorrow we win so it's it's it's it's interesting all i see is someone who's driven someone who's committed and somebody wants to work so i find it very

difficult to tell them apart to be honest. coming up in part two these are many women became about something more than just going out to sea in boats. a woman has been with. maybe not the sort i had wanted been. seen in the. thing for us and what i've been kind of. and the impact made when they took part in international competitions at the end of the road. going up to the goals. respect you know well

you know you have all respect i have for twenty five years you've been saving for one year. refugee problem is something which is a geopolitical issue as for governments international institutions to manage under one thousand refugees don't have the right to more freely on the other hand gord's can move freely as far and as much as they want if you multi-national colonialism this is of the another mint of the democratic process these companies they just want the money europe's forbidden colony episode one at this time on al-jazeera. the continent of antarctica is facing multiple threats from climate change to

you're up to date those are the very latest headlines for us here at al-jazeera coming up next we're going back to al-jazeera world. four young women in our mine took part in a government initiative to widen their horizons and develop their skills by training to sail competitively. it was part of an ongoing national strategy to put a man on the global map and open up opportunities for young armani's even if it meant challenging some gulf stereotypes. the crew and the boat took their name. from a constellation of stars. but they mean on live how to lie down and me the lure of. an engine of the for a year by then. all the chaos and then i go hard

old of such if i'm with them a lot of it before if cornel is more thorough here who is a midget to get them. home because we had forty of us one cigarettes in a month at. yeah i mean fred and. when the crew took part in the muskets regatta in two thousand and eleven it was their first big race as a team. most of the cut. point. mark there were an awful lot of assenting intended and like a slower gun that he can then you know what it was about the contents and will

continue. sampling can be a sport for different shapes and sizes as with other sports mental resilience is just as if not more important than physical strength. not a bad sport for women because you don't have to be the strongest if you're strong helps but there's positions on the boat where actually we need someone to be as small as possible we need the tallest we need the smallest we need someone strong we need someone very gentle the most important thing you need for sailing is you need a good mind if you go to a good mind and you can understand the game then then there's a position on the boat for you to ten men ships ten men a little high and it. will be it will be can he. ten men it's going

any. teamwork makan head going to get the most. and so we. want to we have never thought of head. places that have a good. any i can the other but any of the anything i've said off. the head it. does this about. to happen that matt is at the head of the fattest save those at the head of the earth to live in the. catholic church. to head for the i would have to had to that wimmin in sailing in general there is the perception that women are not as strong. and nor does dedicated and therefore they'll be they'll be easy to beat but we've had a wonderful some of this year with the girls of going round to europe on good

racing and they competed in a world championship and there was at the end of the regatta there were male teams going up to the girls and saying to them ok respect you know well done you know you have all respect i have been sailing for twenty five years you've been sailing for one year. and you beat me and hopefully you know the goal is realize that even though you're starting in a position where people don't believe that you will be a good competitor when you are they are so impressed that you have their respect for life.

the my. uncle and one of them. and is going to. let any one get out of that we're going to have one of the didn't bit the foreign policy doctors say. you did have a. arabia tour in two thousand and twelve started and. went past. and the united arab emirates and didn't know how much. for the women joined for professionals for the race to make a crew of eight. but

often out of us without a stimulus of any need from the head of it and back out of that i divide mad men because that rabbit. out of the fastball we use it. in no it into our bargain and our sauce it's all our own colossal i've been law. kind of. welcome and. what i'm seok or kind to dick a father here. from a hundred caught up but. having a. baby. i don't adamson our family haven't went ahead. and it has a. professional

it's. a sauce with god i'm. not the monks going to say. the we know. i mean behind. i want to come up but in john's been spotted in the i'll do a sausage for you. at the loo and the only thing. i want to you know it at the cab of a. well hasn't been any in. a month and it's got all the but the side but the top on the right look i'm not going to. guess and you and. so what. you've been so we listen to each other. within. and so we judge my own common sense and you've gotten full aka.

apart from gender drive motivation and the mix and chemistry of the team are all key factors in mold seen a successful crew accession moved to how did they need to know bob know. what the how much a woman of the city. where she father was said how beloved them underfoot if they. don't want to have one also knocking about in the book each one is a little different. they're all very individual we have some girls who are very very quiet very calm under pressure but inside there are ways thinking when it goes badly for them we make a mistake we don't do very well you when you see them getting upset we have all the

girls that always like to joke and always like to turn everything into a smile and laughter but when we start the race. everyone becomes very serious and everyone becomes very very driven on that as there is always an atmosphere of next time we do even better next time we do it better. as well as empowering these young on many women in ways they didn't imagine possible sandlin enabled them to develop as people.

way to share any of that i have a teeny kid my nephew been ascii much to my your oid the second lot of anatomy and pain they had somehow found to be any and. look good on the kimono j.t. on a was a meta. and professional. so why not the hot assessment and then officer welcome to one charity ward for our hundred love the one of j. toward jib not hands and one had to say when. someone. with robin have

a come to know the skin of a humming to ben at the moment and bella hanna a dreadful bit milan a good lesson she is so we don't that lohan wouldn't get. valid handful of did so sitting out when it was in. as was the first woman sailing team in the whole gulf region. they set out to change perceptions of women in the region by doing the same thing as the men in the same conditions. but it was about more than just yacht racing they wanted to move barriers to achieve something different. has been with. well i don't know. maybe not the sort i had to want to be. in.

for. a full manasseh. and now to be. told well the decision to have. any. effect. on. the. should that have c. first sales competitively in two thousand and twelve in july twenty third. in the eighty world competition i must say. a month later she became the first of many women to compete in the fastnet race in our minds flagship boat.

or. you send them. because you're the britney the know how the car. kind of inspired you know when one of. them. or when you can't watch it for the new welcome. model for. a seat on the. but how. about a. motivational. talk and so we would be five hundred i know you or. someone for a year or sidney or. kind of man and come to learn or i want.

done or. i want to comment about what i. thought it meant because you know. a lot of club it comes. in two thousand and thirteen was the first time i had competed outside the. size of. going to france was a me and.

the become. the rest got and so we three but that seebach shark at will and. i have . done sheriff a dollar. and so it's also so in just almost went in just for the simple reason so we say and you know if you've been out there a hotel before there were. many. how did. the loss of this woman to machine and our friends that would end but then ted well it up and. the blood in turn to get much out there much our value and. and what would you. rather than.

let it come for two american men who will but when i can but i do know him if you can because he doesn't and if you. got much but what could have i went. through could. give it to you. i could not be. only. what i would really what i would really like the authorising to do and if i if i leave him on sale twenty years' time you know look back what i want the author writing to do is to show other people women men that this is a good adventure it's hard work but if you work hard you race against other people around the world and you earn their respect there is there is nothing better

than it is something really special to have people say. well you know you were impressive you really you know i respect your talent and that's what this team is about it's about hopefully some children looking at the team and think it will maybe maybe that is for me maybe i should work hard enough that i can go to a world championship with your mom flag or you know on my back and show everybody how strong we can be. as today and gradually began to see themselves as role models and that they had a responsibility to send example to other young are many women who might follow in their footsteps in the future. and that is can sell human am i one more money at the phone and a relative. good i thought that they landed in. my theory

but the big thing for all of us and that's the same for the girls is hopefully we don't want to be the only thing we want to show everybody that it's possible it's possible to be to be a good arab woman and to be fantastic athlete as well but they are both very possible so the more teams the more happy we'll. can be come in. for a common work well if there were a lot of via. a day in jazz mama kind of changes pretty cool. i don't.

today a team represented on the for four years. the four women laid the ground for what's now called the on man woman sailing team. it has new members who've picked up a baton like. medal and safety and. they took part in the twenty seventeen. arabia event sailing in this new far thirty class boat. their eighty have track records and sports medal was an athlete and handball player. a mother comes from an equestrian background and played football volleyball and basketball. in twenty fifteen it de sam was invited by her british coach. to join the only all female crew at the volvo all ocean race which covers over forty thousand nautical miles and nine months. she's part of the
