top of the complete destruction of north korea and north korea retaliated with a harsher rhetorics. if the irony of south korea being a booster or mediator between north korea and the united states for its attempt says that south korea is no longer needed by north korea and the united states as a mediator because these countries are now engaging directly with each other for productive negotiations with the 3 something meeting between humans from so in those kind leadership is attempted to fully exploited the gap between south korea and they you know it is they need specially trying to take full advantage of president trump who describes the change in texas say this. as a war game or he openly expressed his opposition to the you know military

11:15 pm
home. in terms of impact to the cali man bank yes we are so. there might be some calculating the banks we calculate the are so how we going to get the banks especially to. the reality. that our borneo in spite of the hype. of. oxygen for the global so we're trying to. aid in concept of green. and sustainable so we're trying to put forward as part of the city so we're trying to rebuild concept of the real plan and that. area of the conservation area will not be. so the city itself will take. real try to minimize that. and it's not the whole forest we also have cities so
11:16 pm
we're trying to move the capital not to. the jungle to the middle of the jungle but it's still a close proximity to the process. today across the city so the real meaning mice the impacts to the forest in building this it's the city this is the global community that we are trying to move our. new development into. a new approach to ready indonesia's and it's not just 70. western part of indonesia we're trying to. equalize. development between all regions in indonesia and we are. pursuing them or there are. many been jaish and. i think that's the message. the world paragliding championships are coming to a close in north macedonia unlike many sports men and women compete against each
11:17 pm
other even at the highest level one woman taking on the men is a pilot from the u.s. she's hoping to inspire the next generation of paragliders this is her story. hi my name is jackie heinrich i am 45 years on it and i am a cross-country paradine a pilot for the team usa i am actually german originally though i've been living in the states for 20 years so i fly 14 u.s. the views of a new high off the you can get high and high on the horizon drops and jobs and the views just laid out in front of you it is so beautiful. and like flying like a bird you have no engine just you and the wind and it's very quiet and actually. it's literally flying like a bird and who doesn't want to fly like a bird you have to have a paraglider harness to sit in reserve parachute it's a good helmet of course some solid shoes so do you cumulus
11:18 pm
a little bit so with the course together it's a few $1000.00 where a lot of people shy away from that expense but then you can once you have the your you can use it for many many years still the nice thing about paragliding be i mean you need to be strong a little bit in the arms but but it's not a huge difference between men and women in these sports except maybe for the weight difference there are times we're small and every spot the fly smaller we know this is a little bit of a disadvantage because they're not as efficient but otherwise it's really a level playing ground so it's other women c.e.o.'s competing on the podium then they're over to get inspired to us participate. this is al jazeera these are the top stories the united nations security council is set to discuss the political crisis in indian administered kashmir meeting requested by china will be held behind closed doors while new jersey says it will lift the curfew in indian administered kashmir in
11:19 pm
a few days and has the latest now from the indian capital. very senior former indian diplomats have said that. i mean a resolution of came up at the. united nations security council decades ago so in that sense there is a bit of a concern than one can sense because the indian diplomats over these years i worked very hard to keep me off the table at the u.n. i see having said that they also say they don't think much is going to come out of it because it's behind closed doors and what they say is an informal discussion by that they mean that no statement would come out however there is no clarity whether there is no absolute certainty rather than whether a statement would come out or not but indians are pretty confident that if that is raised in this meeting to issue a statement then russia would support in the very march an iranian supertankers seized by british forces last month is preparing to set sail from gibraltar after judges order to its release the supreme court received iranian assurances that the

11:23 pm
and here to talk about death positivity from burlington vermont francesca arnold she's an end of life to law and author of cultivating the dual heart the essentials of compassionate care and los angeles california a lou arthur she's also an end of life to live and trainer in seattle washington michael had he's the founder of beth over dinner an organization aimed at changing the way we talk about death and in heart michigan sara cruz she's president of the national home funeral alliance and valinor of heartland prairie cemetery the 1st all natural burial ground in kansas welcome everyone to this stream i want to start with the view from our audience our community because we ask them why is this conversation so difficult to have acknowledging that it is a difficult conversation and this is the answer from mr mack attack on twitter who says it's because i like being alive so get so with that in mind i
11:24 pm
would agree i would agree with 6 our viewer on twitter here i want to open this one up to the floor when was the 1st time you were faced with your own mortality you want to take that one on 1st. the very 1st time i was faced with my mortality was when i was on a bus in cuba with a woman who was 36 and had uterine cancer and while it was really about the end of her life it brought the end of my life into very sharp focus i had had conversations about death the a radically but it was the 1st time that i thought i'm going to die everybody here is going to die why are we not talking about the fact that we're going to die why are we not living in relationship with the end of our lives consistently and for me that was the 1st time that my death the end of my life actually became very very salient but it had the power to bring me back into the present moment and to help me redefine the values upon which i wanted to live and the values upon which i want to carry out the rest of my life. michel. yeah well it actually was
11:25 pm
a pretty sad moment it was when i was a 2nd grader and my father who was much older than most fathers was diagnosed with alzheimer's and that was the beginning of his decline what wasn't clear and what wasn't make clear to us as children was that he was going to die and it was on me soon and the lack of conversation about death the fact that at this almost shameful amorphous presence in our life proved to be really detrimental to our family to me personally but also to our family structure and. my father's illness and his loss at a very negative us. all of our family the health etc and so it's one of the core reason and probably thought for a reason why if this were so people don't have to have that experience thank you
11:26 pm
for sharing that with that sorry to hear about your loss there francesca what about for you. i think for me i experienced the last 3rd love blinds a little later in life i lasted there aren't when i was the 120 but in still less than about my mortality when she died it was about my grief and my connection with her it wasn't until i had my own children that i really started to think about the impact of my death on other people and that was the impetus for me to start planning and preparing and trying to do what i can to organize my own lying and play for them and sarah. my story is similar to francesca's i didn't spend a lot of time thinking about it but i had an experience of beloved aunt dying when i was quite you know i'm 12 years old and. you know ever since then it's just been really taking a look and when i had children that's when really my own mortality became
11:27 pm
a little clearer and decided it was important to pay attention so i want to share this from juliet on twitter who says it isn't inevitable part of life that we all have to deal with sometimes very unexpectedly but we don't discuss it we use euphemisms to pussyfoot around talking about it even in the event of a peaceful expected that it is very isolating for survivors when others are simply unwilling embarrassed awkward in addressing the subject of the dead person and feelings associated with loss of guilt anger grief because they've never been encouraged to talk about it michael why do you think it is that we're so afraid to talk about this subject and so awkward about it when we do talk about it. well i think there's lots of reasons i have a lot of compassion for the difficulty that people. were actually not designed as humans to face our mortality something called
11:28 pm
a number of different biases that keep us from thinking about thinking about the fact that we're not going to hear. the nobel prize winning psychologist to incredible work around these biases that certain things out of our reach i mean really. i mean there are so many. acts of negative effects of this case in this situation but one of the big ones is that if we don't know a lot on swishes if we don't have this conversation we don't know it on earth and if we don't know on it or know how to honor someone. we grieve longer and we grieve longer it has huge and. it's also leads to an incredible number so there's a motion loss and there's financial loss there's a low. one and of course part of being wrapped up in that
11:29 pm
conversation is the different cultural experiences that we all bring to it so i want to share 2 different tweets here the 1st is from rama and i'll direct these to you rama says this is a fascinating topic i'm generalizing to some extent here but what happens post death is not given much more serious thought in kenya but oaks dying without wells triggering a long drawn out succession battles are rather common and we're still stuck in the bury or cremate debate so that's one person writing from that experience another writes and this is dan how sad. and whose has death is inevitable i don't fear death i only fear what i will face after death as a muslim and though i bring this up to ask whether or not you think that this conversation in itself is one that is specific to the audience listening or do you think this is something that's universal and can be applied to people of different faith traditions different backgrounds different cultures. one of the most fascinating things about death is that it is entirely universal everybody is going
11:30 pm
to have to experience it at one point or another so the conversation about death well that's the something that is a plausible to every person on the planet different cultures deal with it differently and so that creates some variance and i were preparedness for it and our relationship to dying in a lot of the cultures there's still a sense of elder hood elders i revere it whereas in places like the united states for instance aging and you have a premium upon it and so in cultures where there is a stronger respect for elder hood and for the aging process i find that there is a great a relationship to dying and a greater awareness or. or coming together of the fact that life is actually means getting old and possibly definitely dying so very and does make a big difference but the reality is it's just it's a political to every single one of us the way that our culture has changed now also
11:31 pm
has a big impact in that we're dying not in community so much anymore we go off to elder care facilities or we die in hospitals there's not a bunch of i'd like to add to that yeah absolutely i want to get on that not of fear we. dying in medical settings for the most part 75 percent of people in the u.s. say that they would like to die at home we're also then outsourcing the care or dead to what has become it like 20 $1000000000.00 a year industry rather than reclaiming that tradition of caring for our own at home and and then having a natural burial afterwards so that kind of those sort of cultural traditions of taking care of our own being familiar with that tasks associated with after death care have completely gone away from this generational wisdom that has been passed down for millennia. and let's say we find. a counterpoint
11:32 pm
in the food industry we industrialized. food is not as to tricia's. as a result we turned. into a medical or stacked medical or it's actually a community. it's what sarah was discussing there's a replay me it is possible to assist but actually requires litters so to make decisions about anything we need literacy and i think that's the works of oh. analysts are doing in our moment which is raising the literacy around. reducing the taboo but if you want if we have time just to talk about the door and the dread that actually your arrogance. i of course we have time for that and i think that it's part of what this conversation is but you raise so many important point there that i wanted to pick apart them so that when we make sure we get all of them one of the things you talked about is the fact that this is kind of been medicalized to
11:33 pm
and turn to something that is not such an empathetic process anymore so i wanted to share this from calve who says practically i have a will i want to be buried in as low impact a way as possible ideally under a tree after every scrap of me that can be used to help someone else has been taken from me my body is just a vehicle for my soul once i'm done with it i don't much care and sara naturally i'm going to give this one to you because this is something at the heart of what you do so when michael was talking about did the way because it's really not bad to put words in your mouth michael but the gist of it was this is become such a cold process you're trying to push away from that sarah that's correct so you're not only is the dying become a court process but the. burning ourselves has turned into immensely resource intensive the way that we do it in this country. we're burying just. ranges of amounts of steel and coffin
11:34 pm
excuse me and concrete and like rain forest harvested hardwoods in the ground every year not to mention all about embalming fluid and what people don't realize is that none of that is necessary you literally can be wrapped in and. that can be as simple as a quilt that your grandmother made and laid and made sure one of the things nature does best is decompose you know and it is just so simple we'd like over complicated not only dying the after death care and and burial you know i don't. like to add i really acknowledge you for being so clear about what your wishes are and absolutely fair point it's very important that those of us that have values and caring for our planet while we're living need to carry those through
11:35 pm
into our dying as well one very very key point however is to make sure that we are writing down our wishes wishes need to be written down and it requires us to talk about it 1st of the people in our lives know what it is that we want written down so that after our death the people in our lives aren't struggling to try and figure out what we would have wanted a little i love this point well i will admit i did not have a will and i talked to my sisters about it often and were morbid and so we talk about the next time thanksgiving rolls around and all the family is together we want to sit down and make it a will writing session so that exactly that happens show of hands that our panel how many of you have a will how many of you have family members and friends who know your wishes. aside from just a will will look like a. slip of the iceberg because actually dealing with your possessions what about your desires for a life support that causes so much more grief in a hard day than what happens with your are granted that is difficult as well but people care about they care about what you value how long you want to be kept on
11:36 pm
life support what. it is what you do and that you can sure leave things mother right. francesca i see you trying to get ahead we haven't heard from you i'm going to go ahead francesca i also feel like it's a service to your loved ones to develop your more personal wishes so i myself have created a death journal and my family knows where it is and that it exists and they've seen it in close form and within it i have a mental as i have photos i have it's kind of a scrapbook of life but it also have has messages to my family it has all of my wishes it has the ways in which i hope that they take really good care of themselves during grieving so in this way it's that it gives me peace of mind knowing that i'm doing as much as i can in advance and that i can still care for them in my absence so they have everything that played out everything that i have thought of the music the poems the readings what i see as being comfortable as an atmosphere for my dying for my aftercare plans as well here's another group of
11:37 pm
people that are doing just a couple tweets here from good to go that's the organization they write i facilitate advance planning parties where people while young and healthy can get together it's like a death cafe but with homework so with a rock'n'roll death soundtrack cocktails and potluck dishes to share we talk about death duties and go over the good to go departure file before an emergency they go on to say that we gather together to talk about death grief dying and death preparedness and attendees leave with advance planning documents so this is one idea but taking it even another step forward or someone who sent us a video comment about something called the dinner party it's similar to what you do michel so i'll play this from carla fernandez and i love you to tell me what you think about it. now assume that 20 and 30 somethings just don't want to talk about grief and loss and life after but for those of us who actually lived it and are
11:38 pm
oftentimes the 1st people in our peer group to someone we've very much do want to talk about it or some of us do it's that we don't always have the people in our networks who we feel safe to approaching to have a conversation it's not really something you can bring up at the office water cooler while you're out of the bar so through the dinner party we're helping to match people to one another based on or zip codes based on what they like to do on the weekends so that they can actually have a community of friends who get it and understand the highs and the lows of life after losing someone and help each other move forward together. so michael that's one way tell us about that over dinner one of the words that carla and that was the dinner party so and i also want to acknowledge even though we're giving people a lot of great ideas it is very hard to get these things done i spent so many years building just over dinner there's been over a 1000000 people who sat down and used our resources over dinner or. sort of
11:39 pm
a book about how to have a conversation about death and i did complete my own will and i used the 5 wishes to do this instill i had published the book so how did it take i have a great deal of compassion for people that haven't broached this topic and one of the ways that it has been difficult for all of us is that people haven't made it attractive haven't made graceful ways or exciting ways to have this conversation over dinner is that it is here is a beautiful way to have this conversation and we give people the scripts all of the resources for free online. and the people who. are sometimes sometimes a narrative. neal where they talk about not just death but really how they want to . and i want to give we've been talking a bit about the stick i want to give people the character here that sure that's attached to this conversation we know that facing our mortality actually
11:40 pm
makes us funny there are studies that have and it improves our sense of humor and there's been an early work done by dr ted jacobs about how it actually increases our capacity to love and our ability to connect with our life partner and so you know we've got laughter and love and human connection out of this recession those are the things we need for avant chair but those are the things we want in life so it's not just call that we're selling here i love that you have and this is the tweet you got from cam see this as. embracing death can assist us and living a happier life it can make us savor every day we spend alive it is hard but anyone who can should accept that as a surgeon so those who have accepted that fact i want to push on just a little bit to introduce another idea this fellow doctor and that's mal and she's the person who gave us the idea for the show in the 1st place she pitched this topic because she wanted us to look into end of life do laws and she sent us
11:41 pm
a video comment about what that is and for cesc i'll direct this one to you have a listen. what do end of life do is do we work with people often from the time of the life limiting or terminal diagnosis all the way through to the act of dying to death and sometimes we even help with the funeral and grief support afterwards if you are too like me with clients focused clients and to lead you disappoint okie from compassionate communities laugh with you listen to you. answer your questions honestly and openly we're here for you let's talk. for a desk. that's beautiful i really appreciate heard the scripts and you know we are not medical emotional support people and the demands that we've seen for our training course has been astounding it's remarkable how many people are stepping up into this work and are interested in it we've had over 500 people complete it on
11:42 pm
line we're getting people from all over the world but we're not only getting private practice to us we're getting doctors nurses nurse's aide spiritual care providers mental health workers office volunteers people are eager for this information how do i offer compassionate support how can i come in with a 9 judge mental approach how can i sit with people in silence it's really beautiful and it gives back to me so much more than i can explain a little you or i don't know what i'm gonna do i see you try to jump in there but i'm so curious are there many people of color doing the work that you do. there are not yet. i find it often when i walk into rooms the practitioners there are generally probably in the 50 years shane age range an older white woman not only do we not have a lot of people of color we also don't have a lot of men and we also don't have people that that assign any that outside the gender conformity so what i'm finding particularly with my work is that i've
11:43 pm
created opportunities for people to have representation and feel as though they're somebody who understands what their background is and particularly what is important to them in my training course also where i trained at those i'm finding that i am i have a lot of people of color that are signing up for this course lot of people that identifier square or are there somehow and it's really important since all of us at some point are going to die it's very nice to know that the person that sitting across from you might understand your experience and we can learn not only the emotional spiritual and practical components of caring for dying but also honor the individual athlete a complete individual as a complete individual looking at all elements. i want to bring this up here in the closing minutes of our conversation and share each as you try to get in there so i'll directed to you the toria says she wants people to know it's ok to say they're dead out loud acknowledgment of ownership of i want mortality can only lead to
11:44 pm
being more relaxed talking about death would you agree with their. i absolutely agree with her you know starting to use rather than using use from assumes to use the actual words you know even when we're talking with children about that but i wanted to add to what the death due allowance where we're saying about being there you know present go on down the continuum of care. that after death work becoming familiar with these after death task caring for our own once loved ones at home being physically and personally involved in the burial of our own dad. allows us to grieve a little more healthily perhaps and we've relegated ourselves as spectators after death you know where we stand there and have it done for us and so a lot of my work is about choice people understanding that they can do this legally
11:45 pm
you can keep a body at home you can take care of it there you can and you need to maybe connect with the home funeral guide who knows the law in your state but in virtually every state you can do this and find out if you've got a. green burial ground nearby and so check out the home if you're on line and that org to find a home funeral guides that are familiar with state law and. and including burial council yeah go ahead write ups there because what what the user is getting is a laundry list of some great ideas and great to sinners and what we're still lacking all our resources somebody when they're in the middle of the crisis we're grieving do the students want us practitioners what we've said i wish it was like a month and hour of a persistent that we're about to launch this platform for the best practitioners you know right well i like that idea but michael i have to pozzi there someone take that idea and run with it that's all the time we have for now but thank you to
11:46 pm
french has a little at michael and sarah for being part of this conversation and a big thank you to our community member who pitched the show until next time see online. from mother to daughter an ancient craft kept alive by a bustling matriarch. from start to finish. all traditions intertwined with new designs making this family's place unique into nazir's rich tapestry. the threads on a jersey ago. one of the really special things that working for al-jazeera is that even as a camera woman i get to have so much empathy and contribution to a story i feel we cover this region better than anyone else working for us as you
11:47 pm
know is that it tends to live on in the but the good because you have a lot of people that are divided on political issues we are we the people we live to tell the real stories are just mended is to deliver in-depth journalism we don't feel inferior to the audience across the globe. al-jazeera explores prominent figures of the 20th century and how why will his influence the course of history the cells that he did not get enough credit for and in the budget he wants to be the big historical figure but he was mandela the biggest icon in the world the prisoner and the president who came together to end apartheid in south africa nelson mandela and f.w. de klerk face to face on.
11:48 pm
jews you know. where every. this is al-jazeera. hello and welcome to this al-jazeera news hour live from doha i'm on team that is coming up in the next 60 minutes the united nations security council meets to discuss the kashmir dispute for the 1st time in almost 50 years. the iranian oil tanker seized by british forces is set to sail despite u.s.
11:49 pm
moves to block its departure we'll have a live update. a u.s. congresswoman has rejected israel's offer to visit her family rashida to lade says she refuses to accept the oppressive restrictions. a violent crackdown on protesters in zimbabwe who defied a back and to raise their voice against the government. but 1st the u.n. security council is to discuss the kashmir dispute for the 1st time in almost 50 years is going to be a closed door meeting it was requested by china of course one of the permanent 5 members and comes as millions in in. the administered kashmir a cut off from the rest of the world this will be that 12th straight day that self the new delhi revote the regions will tend to me but we've got 3 correspondents on
11:50 pm
the story of the girl and child the horror who is in the indian capital new delhi kemal hyder is in the pakistani capital islamabad 1st let's go to mike hanna he's at the united nations in new york says he will have proceedings got under way for this behind closed doors security council meeting that's been requested by china. yes martin well there's been a great deal of intrigue around this meeting pakistan for days now has been requesting such a gathering however it was only when china put in a formal request that the security council agreed to put this matter on its agenda now the title on the agenda is the india pakistan question that's un code for kashmir but certainly this has been a very difficult process. partly due to the fact that india practices a policy of non-recognition in other words it argues very strongly that only it and
11:51 pm
pakistan have the right to discuss affairs within indian administered kashmir and kashmir itself now the security council had a choice to either have an open informal meeting or indeed to have a formal meeting with the parties present but what it's doing today is having a closed meeting without either india or pakistan present to enable we understand the members of the security council to have a full dialogue between each other they know what the position of india and pakistan is and clearly they want to keep the countries away from the discussions to allow them to speak freely among themselves because of course mike they have been multiple un resolutions have been there since the time of partition essentially and none of them seem to actually help the situation is a region that's been left pretty much in dispute for almost 50 years more than 50 years actually. indeed yes there have been a number of un resolutions as you say since partition but the most recent of being
11:52 pm
1971 yes that's nearly 50 years ago but since then and since partition itself since the u.n. got involved there has been a u.n. military observer group there now with numbers some just over 40 people but interesting about this is that there has not been an annual report from the secretary general to the security council on the activities of that group once again not since 1972 so this is another issue that the security council's likely to discuss about how you can have an observer group station in a particular area without regular report backs to this secretary general who then in turn would report to the security council so this latest crisis over kashmir has revealed the full depth of intrigue and the full problems facing the security council and the u.n. when it comes to dealing with kashmir all right now mike thank you very much indeed mike hanna there our correspondent at the u.n.
11:53 pm
in new york now let's go to islamabad the pakistani capital our correspondent there come all haida kemal so a victory of sorts then the for prime minister imran khan who sought to get this on the international agenda which he succeeded in a way then though it is a closed door meeting merely for consultations at this stage at least it's on the agenda. absolutely cautious optimism mind you regarding haven the foreign minister had admitted that this is going to be a complicated process but the fact that this has now come under discussion. there rick tree by buggiest on our diplomatic rectory at that however it has to be realized that this crisis and specially the indian you're not allowed to move to new york arctic. 70 closed up by. india had always this
11:54 pm
state that did allow any turd party intervention when it came to the dispute or were made or their dedicated rejoice or includes. creek area by the move modi has made in parliament it means that fordham is dead because. crucially game ended 972 both sides had a good day were dared to. call. some garlic treaty and of course defined all outstanding issues between pakistan and india would be discussed by a. day would be no unilateral moves to be important to see how much success pakistan get. data of meeting is concerned which is happening behind closed doors all eyes of course on the un but at the same time that it. hit in pakistan
11:55 pm
therefore gets done does not get the support it needs and did not meet the. complications it had already warned that this crisis could get out of both sides are nuclear armed nations that i bored to i boarded a cross the border tired disputed territory along the line of control be important to see what comes out of that meeting and read up on get on get. warned crucial juncture are all right to live in islamabad thanks very much for that let's get you need me now. is our correspondent that i suppose as as far as pakistan is concerned this is a victory this must be quite alarming then for india which is always trying to keep the issue of kashmir on a bilateral level if not an internal matter. but martin indian diplomats are work all these decades to make sure that it remains
11:56 pm
a bilateral issue and they try to ensure that it is not raised at the united nations security council however now it is being made even raised i beg your pardon even though it is behind closed doors and walked former indian diplomats have said it is an informal meeting when they say that they are hoping that no statement would be issued and even if a statement the question of issuing a statement comes up russia would block it however there is a bit of concern because this issue is finally coming up one of the form our external affairs minister of india said that for decades this issue was not raised and finally coming up so one can sense that indians are a little bit upset about this but they're confident that they have much more support when it comes to the influential members in the united nations security council they're confident that they have a much better relationship with these members rather than pakistan so that impact would not to be as much as perhaps pakistan would desire to be right and as we're
11:57 pm
