moscow's gorky park has been we invite you in the big aerated and reinvented many times much like the city itself our moscow correspondent rory chalons takes a look back now at its past and its possible future. ninety years old and looking pretty good for its age gorky park has firmly reclaimed its position as one of moscow's most popular attractions but the city is part of gorky has been reinvented numerous times through communism and post soviet decay to its current sleeker more modern face but. the park appeared and nine hundred twenty eight it was designed for their proletariat the new and young state need a new and young place where their protests could relax there was an idea to create a park of culture and leisure where people could get educated and take arrest. its energetic director betty glam invited the u.s.s.r.

at a local school with the help of students by nineteen zero six new yorkers had every last oyster their reefs had been dredged up or covered in silt and the water quality was too poor for their regeneration it stayed that way until one thousand nine hundred seventy two the passage of the clean water act which prohibited dumping sewage and waste into the harbor even now the waters aren't clean enough to eat what lives there but he always to reach have huge benefits for the local ecosystem. as i have a little superhero very tiny about they pack a punch and they really they provide such habitat for in the biodiversity of new york harbor nicholas jacobson helped make the metal cages that create the reefs and volunteered to help place them in the water the oysters slide in like a file cabinet so in the city there's not many options to really connect with nature it's mostly concrete and steel. but this really gives an opportunity within the city to kind of connect with nature and i guess just give back to the

environment because we do take a lot and when it comes to the health of new york's waterways cultivating that connection may be just as important as cultivating oysters christian salumi al-jazeera brooklyn new york. when it comes to fighting fire with far these young men in el salvador are taking things quite literally every year people in the town of their job petrol soaked rags at each other to remember the volcanic eruption in one nine hundred twenty two authorities have so far not imposed restrictions on the fireball festival and there been surprisingly few injuries reported. again these are top stories in our libya's u.n. backed government has declared a state of emergency in the capital tripoli after five days of fighting between rival armed groups at least thirty nine people have died in the violence and more

at a summit in beijing on monday president has been welcoming leaders from fifty two african nations ahead of a forum one of one east is next. in the philippines biggest maternity hospital a baby is born every few minutes and often the new mothers are just children themselves. with the legal age of consent just twelve teen pregnancy is on the rise here. many to turn to a shadow we underworld for hello i'm steve on this episode one east investigates

the impact of church and state on a nation dubbed the baby factory. it's late afternoon in an area locals call happy land on the outskirts of the philippine capital manila. and i am amongst the shanty to well a nice thirteen year old my family is playing a jumping game chinese goddess with her friends and then a. crowd watching on high from sniffing paint solvent is her twenty two year old boyfriend at just eleven she became pregnant to him but she was seven months alone before she

even realized. that the stick up i love i didn't know i was pregnant that i was even playing chinese gotta supply and i think at that hour when i was jumping the gutter. i thought something in my stomach. and then i suffered a miscarriage. local health workers. so her boyfriend taunts of losing their child but doesn't mention that she just blames the self. it was painful and. it's also an affront to the lord. god why did i commit such a sin that i played. well i cried hard because it was painful to lose a baby. may may's pregnancy was not by choice and it seems neither was the

first time she had six. it was painful. i was just forced to do it. with a father in prison and her mother in a new relationship she lives here with her boyfriend's family. staying here with your boyfriend. because they feed me well it's. just one of the growing number of young filipino ghouls who find themselves pregnant it's really a tremendous problem not just for in terms of the health of the actual teenagers themselves who are becoming parents at sunny such young ages and for the children that they then have but it's also costing the government and the country a lot in so much is so much money lost in productivity and in terms of them being

unable to join the formal economy because they haven't finished high school it's really a very very big problem for the country. the province of polo in the west of the philippines is a pretty part of the world but it is an ugly reality palauan has one of the highest rites of teenage pregnancy anywhere in the country one in five teenagers pregnant already has a child and the vast majority of them live in very poor communities like this one. in this slum on the capital puerto princesa we find fifteen year old tara with her family the baby she's holding isn't one of her three siblings it's her daughter she says she knew little about six when she met the child's father soon after her fourteenth birthday. no nine. i didn't want to do it i was scared.

but after a week i agreed. when it came to protecting yourself against pregnancy terrell's says she knew nothing and you mother. never talked about it don't blame me and the same the going to men sobbing i felt awkward giving her advice about contraceptives because she was too young. i also wasn't sure whether she was allowed to use contraceptives at her age. in the philippines girls under the age of eighteen need their parents' permission to get contraception or an egg hiv test but the age of consent is much lower just twelve one of the lowest in the wool the father of terrell's baby says he's twenty eight but local health workers believe he's at least ten need is older than that in. you know not. i feel proud

that i call of duty for wife when you know. even if i'm so much older. rebel already had four children when he met terrell his eldest just a couple of years younger than her he claims he didn't know terrell was only fourteen until she got pregnant. about money after a year of being together with what she told me she was pregnant and. so i chose her over my wife because i was scared a case might be filed against me in the going on and. under filipino law even though terrell was above the age of consent because she was still under eighteen and he was over were delayed could have been charged with coercing her to have sex but. i was so scared i went to a parents' house and told them that i would take responsibility for the baby they gave their consent. my parents were concerned that he might not be

able to make a living for us. but now they say he's trying his best to put food on the table and to support our daily needs they don't say anything anymore. we reported him to the department of social welfare and development but the girl didn't want to press charges because she's in love her parents didn't want to press charges because as far as they were concerned she's being taken care of by her boyfriend now she's living with him one less mouth for them to feed and they don't want to interfere ameena evangelist swarmer pole is one of the founders of women's health in roots of health something troubling that we've also seen among the groups that we work with is that a lot of the young girls are in relationships with much older men and i think technically via the laws you should be able to press charges even without the

cooperation of the girl and of the parents. on the other side of town twenty three year old has four children to two different fathers the youngest child is just a week old and she says her food is six surely experience was when she was fourteen and her boyfriend nineteen. only knew back then chinese got to that's all. i wanted to cry. i was pushing him away but he said he would take responsibility and that he loved me . that other guys would accept me anymore i thought whoever took my virginity should be the one. angela zon threatened to file a case against him for coercing her into having sex. that's why his mother and

father decided to make us live together and make him take responsibility for what he did to me. at fifteen angela got pregnant but miscarried at seven months at sixteen she gave birth to a baby boy and then within a few weeks was pregnant again. they said contraception had side effects they said. so i got scared. after her second child was born her boyfriend left her for another woman taking their two kids with him she now has two more children with a new partner he's at work today but they will live with the family. as he wanted me to get pregnant. i agreed because he accepted me watch i am. unlike others. but there are times when he

tells me i should be thankful he accepted me. sometimes i cry because my children are suffering as sometimes they have nothing to eat. angela believes things would have been very different if she'd known as a teenager. it's better to be educated about what contraceptives are available. and what sex is about. that's better than being ignorant. here and we have a government that doesn't spend very much money on teen pregnancy prevention programs. they don't want a lot very much funding or any at all to contraception and so this really ties the

hands of the provincial health office they can't really do very much without the budget to have activities and programs. we visit the vice governor of the province dennis socrates to ask him why this is the case i think the solution lies in a more intensive information and education company with the young people the sex is good but it has to be within the context of a loving and indissoluble marriage and it must be open to life through parenting which is the natural consequence of the. so abstinence to married yes that's right. you're a member of the extremely conservative catholic group opus dei it's easy imminently against all forms of contraception all human life is good even life that is even life the loss of even human life and someone that by the mother.

of the united nations says that it's a woman's right to be able to plan a family. what do you say to that i disagree with the un. proposition of the the un idea and i would like to think that that. would be overturned in the future. with more than eighty percent of filipinos catholic the church wheels enormous influence over national policy particularly when it comes to family planning. it's five needs since the government to reproductive health will guarantee six education in schools and access to free contraception but with fierce lobbying from the catholic church and other pro-life groups it still hasn't been implemented. and having no access to contraception can have tragic consequences. the black nazareth

. has come to be known as a place of despair.
