hello welcome to the news hour a stampede at a religious festival in northern israel has killed at least 44 people the crush happened at a gathering of tens of thousands of ultra-orthodox jews on. saturday reports. emergency services rushed to the scene where tens of thousands of cultural orthodox jews had gathered for the like annual pilgrimage which started off as an all night gathering of prayer and dance at the bonfire festival ended with these chaotic scenes the. bodies of those killed in a stampede are lined up hundreds of people injured for vite it a for those who are in. teams $200.00 ambulances another cycle of care units helicopters to the scene next to transport evacuees those who are injured to the host so it's considered to be one of the holiest sites for jews the tomb of the 2nd century say drive by sharon by your child is what brings the

faithful here we're going to say more than 650 buses that brought in people from across the country making it the largest public gathering in israel since a pandemic started suddenly saw paramedics from them whatever running by. like need c.p.r. on a kids and then one after the others are coming on ambulances and then we understand like something's going on here. private bonfires that mound their own were banned last year due to coronavirus restrictions the lockdown measures were easy to see and after israel's rapid 19 vaccination program has seen more than 50 percent of the population fully vaccinated. police say they've arrested 2 people for disrupting office's efforts to keep aldrin at the site and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has described the stampede as a heavy disaster. al-jazeera. plus you heard the festival is held at one of the holiest sites for jews tens of thousands of altar orthodox jews

normally make the pilgrimage to mount their own nature for the like boma it was largely cancelled last year because of the pandemic on thursday officials said they were already overwhelmed by the huge crowds organizers have told local media they estimated up to 200000 people arriving by thursday evening but hurry for city is live for us in our no you've been following events from the early hours any more details as to what exactly happened and caused this tragic event. well yes i think i can sort of tell you what what happened with more detail and the question of what caused it is something that i think is going to reverberate for some time and go further than the immediate proximate causes but you know we've been inside the town behind marilyn and close to the rabbi's tomb where the main celebrator events take place every year half a 1000000 people come here over several days every year and that sheer force of

numbers on such a small such under a sourced area always causes problems and this year it's caused tragically very serious problems indeed and it comes at an area where there is an exit a sort of a back exit that comes down a ramp between a fairly constricted set of walls to a kind of a kink against against another staging area where there are. there is scaffolding and it was down there even today after the crowding people were slipping as they walked down it's pretty precarious last night it was just a sea of people pushed together crowned together swaying in stumbling and someone having to break through the scaffolding area and the metal sheeting that separated it from the rest of the parts so that was the epicenter of it all and there have been warnings about that particular bottleneck for many years before and so there are questions being asked of the police response whether they did enough to ensure that there was

a smooth flow some people are accusing the police of having blocked part of that route but also why the questions to what are questions of course because this is not new all of them and there had been warnings from the israeli health officials that it sort of could become a covert super spreader event so that's the one concern obviously a major investigation now underway as you say into the causes and the blame game may even start within days. well you know i think the blame game is underway as much as the politicians and the internal security minister for one is saying that this is not yet time to start pointing fingers and has been defending police in their actions however it's not just about the police this is something that really gets to the core of this whole issue of how much or foreign see the israeli government secular government can impose on the ultra orthodox religious community and how much autonomy they have over their own affairs and what we've been seeing throughout the coronavirus pandemic is that there is

a great deal of ground being seeded for longstanding reasons for things to to be run as they are seen fit by by rabbinical authorities and that is something that is being pointed to here again also what's being pointed to is the fact that prime minister benjamin netanyahu relies for what is left of his coalition government on the support of ultra orthodox political parties they really do hold a very important balance of power so people again accuse him of taking a soft line he himself came here a little bit earlier this afternoon so it's a visit the sites and there were some protests even then on this what is seen as a sort of a secular intervention during this very important religious period and even now on this day after what we saw last night there is a will to keep the celebrations going on this lead a much reduced scale but even now we've been seeing families and children dancing trying to maintain the the happy celebrate removes it because they say that is what

the rabbi the 2nd century rabbi a very important religious figure would have wanted to happen to force it in rome thanks very much for the update harry. corona virus infections across india have reached another record high with more than 386000 new cases and only 3500 deaths reported preparations are now underway to vaccinate all adults over the age of 18 starting on saturday but it's unclear how the government plans to inoculate an extra 600000000 eligible people when there's a shortage of jobs in mumbai inoculation centers have shut for 3 days health ministers from several hard hit states including the capital region of delhi war they don't have any doses left. dozens of for. help get a lot of doctors into. those dad made their condition but it is not that.

we do not have vaccines for adults right now we've requested the companies for the vaccines. the order has been issued to wrack the needs are not already dean but we alan able to get vaccines even when we had it into practice that the vaccine for not available. now the military has stepped in by sending its medical staff to state governments the public can also seek treatment it's many hospitals 40 countries have pledged to send emergency aid on the 1st u.s. shipment arrived on friday that includes hundreds of oxygen cylinders and regulators white house promised to send a $100000000.00 worth of supplies but with patients being turned away hospital beds not all can afford to wait scenes of people queuing up to buy medical oxygen for sick loved ones have become common problems at this update from the capital new delhi. we're outside an oxygen supply in new delhi where people whose relatives are sick for hours in the hopes of buying the life saving gas one man has been waiting

here for more than 12 hours and another for more than 7 hours they are here because all of the capital's hospitals are full and many have a pretty oxygen people are still dying here because there. isn't enough oxygen and that is why the international aid that's a really is so very important the 1st or the $100000000.00 worth of aid from the u.s. touchdown in new delhi on friday the military plane was carrying everything from oxygen cylinders. of rapid tests 40 countries have been sending hundreds of oxygen generation thousands of oxygen concentrator. the u.s. is also sending hundreds of thousands of dozens of vaccines and the raw materials. that says many states to. the capital in the worst affected. said they don't

have enough doses to expand the vaccination program that's due to happen on saturday where all adults will be eligible to get a vaccine but there aren't enough in the country. which is a health economist and professor the college of social side. joins me now from kochie in the southern state of carola nice to have you with us on the program sir 2 issues here oxygen and vaccination let's just begin with oxygen to start with and it's availability in the state where you are in the south what is the position so far. well i don't know where the state but i come from probably the only state in the country which is up you know surplus oxygen and almost all of the stage. knocks in government actually say is that some of them on a hot some but the main problem is logistics and on making this available in

different parts of the country and. that's one that doesn't build a measure you know just your talent. a great deal of focus has been made on the vaccine rollout of the availability not just on the capitol and across northern india but also in the state of maharastra north of where you are on the western coast so how far has the state of carolina gone to get all of its residents vaccinated. well kettler is actually among one of the states which is. just been able to work since about 70 percent our relations stop feyerabend the country is reduced less than 10 percent but their modern hope or later stage they'd look to put up that there should be a higher but you still have vaccinated only less than 5 percent of your mission with a single unfortunately you know in india that the daily doses that don't be a mystery has been on an decline for the last and the weeks it's daily i don't do

well and $4000000.00 i administered on a daily basis now. it sort of fell from of or 2700000 couple of weeks back so so so the pace is slowing down for the last edition and tomorrow the countries are making up the works and all of the blasts and clearly there is such severe short age and the demand is slight exceeding so far india has about. a $150000000.00 or so i've been a minister for unfortunately that does only cover 2.62.7 percent of the iraqi population fully little dots of speech indeed support person of the pocket. sorry to jump in the huge figures obviously that you're quoting and of course you know for our international viewers they are being focused on certain states like as a say the state of delhi itself the capital region maharastra yourself carol in the south a big tourist area a big population very well educated population in terms of the rollout on saturday

for over a teens to your understanding and the contacts that you have within your state is there enough vaccine for the moment i would have a problem vaccinating me over eighteen's as well. well definitely not immediately i going to go i myself a must that one of those from the last sort you know below what is your source of us our source that still you would be like that it really is the new face but i couldn't find. it for myself and in fact i don't see a lot of for about an issue that i can still do or even for the next 2 months so there's not a question of people who are in adjustable it in and beginning to register now of being able to find a start like solution anywhere in the immediate future in many catalogs and yours. so i say i please please finish yes so i mentor said that you know that the demand is so fighting senior supply at the moment and you know the states are in

a position where now having never shared the deal with this but there's an even to the extent of taking there on steps to import what other countries so that they can facilitate is to drive or in a park that reach for the pollution i do appreciate that you're not a politician but in these last few days we've seen a great deal of the general public across india and beyond blaming one party or another for not being able to support the public in both oxygen availability and vaccine availability where do you or could you place the blame anywhere on state or federal government central government the health ministry if somebody is not doing their job properly in india and hundreds of thousands of people are dying. it's a very difficult question to answer actually clearly the state does not prepared

well enough. i said that you know india was lucky enough to have a 2nd the 2nd believe it was delayed compared to many other countries out there and we had a political long aim to see what us up and a bit of what the world really. see here the 2nd day was and unfortunately in our supply recession or i sort of failed to see the kind of preparation that i will i was expecting that the government would be doing in the last one year and under the federal government i believe really i mean there's a lot of infrastructure would have been built up and a lot of testing facilities were not been drummed up a secret up in vaccination drive would have been much more but it's been quite poorly thumps of the bill bin laden might be behind it dumbs of building the sufficient infrastructure to deal with and are distinct still lacks it's still a do behind of the daily basis are much faster than the daily lot of besting at the

moment and the works initially is far from you know any ideal scenario there storm yeah it's an unfortunate situation that i mean who do you want to blame it everybody is a sponsored army not just the federal government both state governments are sort of sponsible to an extent indeed difficult times for india hopefully it'll get better in the coming days joining us from co-chief in the state of carolyn some of the defense 3 times a thank you. the health care experts in neighboring nepal are warning the capital could see scene similar to those in india infections and rising hospital beds are filling up. reports from. empty streets in nepal's capital as a 2 week lockdown is imposed to limit the spread of corona virus it's the 2nd wave to hit the country infections have surged and more than half are in the capital scotland do but i'd sort of hospitals are seeing more cases in

a shorter span of time the 2nd wave is more potent with more young people and children infected as health workers struggle to contain the growing number of patients experts fear that thousands may have caught the mutant variant strains emerging out of neighboring india thousands of workers from nepal have left their jobs in indian cities with 1000 is spiraling out of control they're arriving here in nepalese towns by the border and that's creating a major health crisis. that it's like a mini india the situation was similar in the capital which has a dense population would be difficult to cope with the existing health infrastructure more than 300000 people in nepal have got covered 1990 percent have recovered over $3000.00 people have died as daily cases surgery experts warn that the epidemic could overwhelm the polls fragile health system if the country is unable to break the chain of transmission in time and hold health authorities have

repeatedly appeals to the public to wear masks avoid crowds and to maintain social distance but recent political rallies and religious festivals have helped fuel the spread of the disease thousands rush to leave the capital after the lockdown was announced i am not sure i'm waiting at the bus stop for a seat out of common do it's crowded the situation is difficult i'd rather be back in my village where i can make ends meet health authorities fear this exhaustless could spread the virus in villages across nepal dumb. the situation as an order. role what spreading and gaiters of life think by archiving our efforts to them identity. launched a vaccination campaign in january giving doses from india and china to nearly 2000000 people but with a population of 20000000 and limited access to that seems the power would have to seek support from the international community to prevent the epidemic from spiraling out of control. from italy book. clubs more ahead here on the

al-jazeera news hour including protests against his decision to delay palestine's 1st parliamentary elections in 15 years. the jacksonville jaguars select children. and it's for the best u.s. college football is find out what i'll be starting their professional careers. police in kurdistan are reporting a renewal of gunfire on the southern border with just hours after a cease fire agreement at least 13 people are being killed and dozens more injured in the heaviest fighting between the nations in years alexia brian reports. it was like this is what distaste via sounds like on the border between tajikistan and . the video was shared by local media on friday morning hours after both sides had

agreed to stop fighting was. the violence broke out at a water reservoir that both countries claim as their own each side accusing the other of firing 1st. their skirmishes here every few months as communities are the access to land and more casual resources. but majoring gages by government troops are rare this is the worst fighting in is this is one of the last undefined frontiers in the region in central asia when you look at this part of the map this is the very gonna valley where back to stand if you can stand in kyrgyzstan all sort of tangle around one another it's a very complicated ethnic catchwords of course you know you can't place blame on the fact that there are no clear geographic markers between the borders between the securities and the tajik side so that that's just sort of geographic confusion you could say well it isn't border checkpoints on the koga side

a said to have been set on fire thousands of people have fled the fighting and and now sheltering in schools. kiev is the good and they launch it here out of the bullets at the moment the shooting has stopped the short lived cease fire was brokered on thursday night by the prime ministers of tajikistan and kurdistan the un welcomed the move and urged both sides to continue talking and resolve outstanding issues peacefully. to stand as a closed strongly or thorough tarion state and updates from inside a not common. logic. but on the koga side of the border they've been released calling for more weapons and soldiers to defend their land from. what they say is aggression. dear presidents we have supported you we voted for you and we put our trust in you so please show an equal commitment and respect us. the border

area is a long way from the 2 nations capitals of the cake and duchesne day analysts say people living there often feel isolated and ignored by the elite is. fueling the frequent and sometimes vs territorial disputes and brian al-jazeera. guest on analyst joins me now via skype from the capital bishkek good to have you with us on the program and initial reports had suggested this was a dispute over a camera fitted by tajik forces near a water reservoir is it really as simple as that or is there more to it. well of course it's not because video cameras just. a promise for the bigger conflict because the main issue here at stake is access to water on land and because of the nature of this conflict which is on demmer created water

on both sides that creates a huge issue for the both countries and as a result this is what happened since wednesday ok so why has border demarcation been at the heart you might say of the problem since the fall of the soviet union in 1991 why haven't the 2 sides got together and tried to sort it out. well there are multiple reasons for that but main ones are our budget istana went through a civil war in the ninety's kurdistan on its own and had political turbulence since the beginning since for 3 decades now they had a overthrow of governments on multiple occasions just the last one happened last year in october in this political turbulence of course. lated smart. on the border conflict because the kurdish government then the bait proper

attention to this issue so this has been going on for. 30 years now even more is it a failure by both national governments to actually act of trying to find a demarcation when in fact the area that we're talking about is so far away from the centers of power that is in fact ignored to 2 to many people. well of course but you have to also mention the fact that these 2 states there are both members of the russian led security bloc in the region on top of everything else russia supplies arms to both of the states so as we see this is the result because the governments in these 2 states they can't just resolve this border issue and on top of earth analysis these are the the the mob violence

on the ground is happening literally on a monthly basis and which escalates from time to time but what happened this week is extraordinary because this has never happened before and this is a bad sign for this region because it is an indicator that this border conflict may not be resolved anytime soon do you think that we are looking at a conflict or do you think the 2 capitals will actually maybe get their diplomats together and try to talk to each other or find a 3rd party like russia to intervene as a as a neutral arbiter it could be but the problem is that russia has been doing that for decades as well the hope is that the region by itself and i'm talking about was biggest and kazakstan these are 2 states there are say we can say that there are regional powers maybe they could do do something about it because. it is

obvious it's too clear that you stand in kurdistan they they are not in their best abilities to solve this problem on their own or see what happens in the coming days and the moment is kind of the south give thanks so much for joining us from the capital bishkek thank you thank you. now brazil is marking another bleak milestone in the credible as pandemic after the number of deaths passed 400008 quarter of the fatalities were recorded this month brazil is only the 2nd country after the us to reach that figure another 70000 infections were also registered meaning the country has reported 14500000 cases these are live pictures from rio de janeiro's copacabana beach where activists are laying about 400 mock body bags to symbolize the 400000 brazilians who've died. there's also been alarming increase in deaths of babies and children under the age of 10. report from rio de janeiro.

behind a store a haven for children there's no school and a huge patio with new when unusual toys this abandoned factory at the entrance of real's old islam has become their playground during the pandemic its walls shield them from the traffic and violence outside but offer little protection from covert 19 or no since the pandemic began in march of 2020 until last february 47000 babies and children under the age of 10 have been hospitalized with the virus and 2100 have died vital strategies and then joe specialized in public health has released data showing an explosion of deaths among children and babies in brazil. yes it was because the near brazilian variant is partly responsible because it has a larger viral load than the original one and has more capacity to affect the young but poverty and inequality also play a big part in this strategy and almost all babies who died are poor and black.

brazil also accounts for half of the world's maternal deaths by covert 19. 90 runs a workshop for pregnant women and single mothers in the proceedings islam and apollo was part of her group last december she gave birth to a healthy boy but shortly after turning 2 months old her back to stopped eating because he had difficulty breathing his mother told us she took him to the hospital twice but was sent back home the 3rd time he was hospitalized but died soon afterwards of acute respiratory syndrome in their own way as in the wrong crisis in children is common and can develop into pneumonia but it's usually cured if you get medical attention in time now this is the 1st case i've seen for it's. evolve sorry rocketry and results in death. doctors say the number of covert 1000 deaths in children is still small compared to those among the elderly and people with

preexisting conditions but he can no longer be ignored especially in brazil where the pandemic is still out of control with health congress has launched an inquiry to investigate the government's handling of the pandemic and its responsibility in the deaths of $400000.00 people for the 1st time a frigate will be paid to the children many have thought would be spared from the fire a group of mothers moved this carpet a reminder that at least 2000 of brazil's victims were younger than 9 years old monica an i.q. of all just sera rio de janeiro. all still out here on the news we look at why the survival of thousands of elephants is being threatened by a call to a farm in kenya that is for one of basketball's because styles takes a turn for the worse. without story.

europe is divided literally at the moment by a frontal system that just won't go away is in this massive cloud here it's going roughly from southwest to northeast and here it is but the fact that it's moving very slowly has got ripples on it means it will produce some pretty heavy rain france be where this weekend this is it developing in the northeast of spade and then this part of southern france running to switch to the north in italy significant amounts of rains or flooding is what likely significant snow for the alps as you can see here it's also dividing because to the north thames is still the low side northerly with the low countries it means 14 in paris and 40 in berlin and that's an improvement on friday the other side it's really quite warm southerly breeze out of africa has lifted temperatures in for example greece the rail to heavy as it runs through the czech republic and probably poland during sunday

leaving things a little bit quieter back in switzerland and france athens remains hot this is the generally warm area from hungary science words and the temp sure enough the news is remarkably high given the obvious 22 the record is 2036 we're approaching recoveries but we were to get that that heat extends or comes from the other side of the water in benghazi were 40 that again is well above where it should be. one for the for the project is wasted with tens of thousands of foot out that tower in south korea has been transformed from west of founder into global leader in for recycling i have been reporting on how new technology is making this possible. in kenya i mean the promise and sundays. that depending on what.

a reminder of our top stories at least 44 people have been killed and more than 150 injured in a stampede at a religious festival in northern israel it happened about not on the way up 220-0000 ultra orthodox jews had gathered several indian states have already run out of crowd of ours jobs a day before the country started vaccination drive for all out also but 18 new infections across india have reached a new high with 386000 cases reported in the past 24 hours there's been gunfire on the southern border after she could stand and tajikistan hours after a cease fire violence began over rivet infrastructure of the disputed downed trees at least 13 people have been killed in the heaviest fighting in years. palestine's 1st parliamentary elections in 15 years have been perspire own and they were due to be held next month but president mahmoud abbas has delayed the vote citing a dispute with israel over voting in occupied east jerusalem it became reports now

from the occupied west bank. a day before the electoral campaign with a just start president mahmoud abbas put the palestinian elections on hold he's blaming israel for uncertainty whether people in occupied east jerusalem will be able to participate in the vote. i do not once they say yes we will hold elections to morrow as long as we're free to go to the polls will campaign and whoever wins wins this is a democracy we believe in a. rival palestinian factions fact the head of hamas had agreed in january to hold the 1st parliamentary and presidential elections in 15 years but differences soon emerged. how matters rejected the election today saying it will harm palestinian interests in previous elections is really allowed a few 1000 palestinians to vote in israeli controlled post offices in east jerusalem this time israeli officials say they don't have

a government to approve the palestinian request you have a tentative instead of israeli post office locations that means as i will move on the ground and try to prevent them by force which is not a bad thing but this internet and particular means that we have to be ready for some kind of a political confrontation with which my mother doesn't want palestinians haven't been to the polls in 15 years and are eager to have elections that could restore national unity and fight corruption if we wanted to hold elections we would have found a way even if we smuggle palestinians from jerusalem to ramallah it's easy to find excuses he doesn't see of us and become a real under occupation what can we do if it were up to us we would love to have elections. it's really bad as a young 21 year old palestinian i've never felt that i had freedom to voice my opinion or be involved in the political system. ever record number of 36 electoral

lists have signed up for the elections well some say it shows how eager tolleson ians are 1st change others say it threatens a bass's authority senior leaders have split from fatah means slate and plan to run separately. some of the candidates who rejected it they have taken to the streets of ramallah to protest the bass's decision polls suggest that the majority of palestinians think it's important to have elections and people here think that the president is using jerusalem as an excuse to delay holding them up both as the factions would work towards forming a national unity government but that might not be enough. to quell the anger in the streets. the community of herders in kenya is fighting to protect its grazing land and livelihoods from an agricultural company conservationists fear its plans to build

a potentially lucrative avocado far will be disastrous for elephants and wildlife tourism welcome web reports from near the town of money up. to thousands of years people have been herding livestock on the plains around mount kilimanjaro. and they've been teaming with wildlife for even longer. tourists come here to see it. the shan can any guide them when he's not with his cows his community of messiah herders agreed with the government that this area should be reserved for open grazing and wildlife and so he's alarmed that some of it's been fenced off for farming crops you know we moving from place to a not of lettuce so that this land now it's for one person with forest in the muscle. we see very long different thing stopping just long. the land available for nomadic grazing here in kenya has been shrinking ever since colonialism the farmers are fenced off just under

a square kilometer of land conservationists say it's followed a series of irregular decisions by the relevant or thorough and they say many more investors are waiting to see if this farm will be allowed to continue and if it is they say many more tracks of land will be fenced off and that will be devastating for the herders and for the wildlife within the fence a company called killie are very fresh plans to grow for cargoes for export and other crops it belongs to some agricultural investors from the capital nairobi 200 kilometers away so it's not. the farm manager jeremiah who's from this area also owns some shares i can see the fish is very bright as you can see which was a sinus agricultural land now these are not like you have to exist in that land with the activity of other. people how to transform themselves from their

traditional way of life to modern life danielle if somebody says the land here isn't idle you work for a conservation group he says thousands of tourism jobs depend on the wildlife and the survival of about 2000 allophones here depends on a corridor or the green area connecting to wildlife preserves the blue lines show their tracks and the farmer sits in the middle of them it's not the 1st farm here but he says he. open the floodgates to many more it's interfering with the whole system the corridor the community is made collapse their families in their own place because they are disconnected areas where you can do farming without interfering with their land use and environmental tribunals would it kill you have a to stop the farm. said its papers are in order and it's appealing the decision many of kenya's 13000000 herders a poorer than those living in farming communities towns and cities. says if they

lose the last record lose everything malcolm webb al-jazeera kenya. a large majority of female journalists experience harassment threats and abuse while doing their jobs it surveyed nearly a 1000 female journalists from 125 countries and found nearly 3 quarters of them had experienced online abuse 25 percent said they'd been physically threatened you know black indigenous jewish and arab female journalists experience both the highest rates and the most of the impacts of online violence our correspondent have a mortgage joins me now live from sudan's capital khartoum with her experiences mean reporting from your part of africa here but it's difficult really at any time of the day or year add to that abuse and it makes it even harder so what types of abuse have you experienced either online or in person. well so him most of the stories in the area that i cover which include sudan south sudan

and now the sudan if you're a border involves conflict so in a conflict there are usually sides involved and most of them seem to want you to. reflect their side of the story more so therefore when you when that doesn't happen . sorry when that doesn't happen they feel that there's that they have to find a way to take out their anger especially when covering the sudan if you're a border story and the story of the b. degree of conflict in northern if you hear when the refugees started arriving in november and we started interviewing them and listening to their stories of horror of people being shot in the streets of aerial bombardments those were stories of horrors that they were telling us and when we reflected that i received lots of negative comments are on twitter on facebook and sometimes even in my personal e-mail inbox so these are things that you know you get people who are against the degree and in accusing you of being on their side and the attempt is very clear they seem to aim to try to smear you or shake your confidence in yourself and in

the way you report and that affects how you interview people how you talk to them how you listen to their stories and how you portray their stories and reflect that it tends to affect the self-confidence in you and in a person and in the person's work especially as a woman covering conflicts areas and how does your self-confidence get affected when your gender is attacked it's a tall. that happens especially in areas of conflict like south sudan when i covered the south sudan conflict in 20152016 as well as covering the conflict by talking to refugees basically in both context rape and sexual violence has been used as a weapon of war and because i'm not in those areas when reporting or when the report comes out i'm usually out of the areas which is affected by conflict the people who are basically attacking me online they don't have the capacity to attack me in person so you see i see an increase of of of sexual violence threats of

threats of some comments such as you know being a female you should know you would not know better if this was somebody else reporting and sometimes even with a certain type of i would say racial comments online racially charged comments online saying that because you're an african you would not know how to report this or probably english person or a westerner would know how to do better so there's these kinds of comments that you get that shakes your confidence and when you go back home you tend to reflect on the stories wondering if you could have done better if there was something different that you could have done to your story that would make ultimately reduce the amount of online abuse that you get and at the end of the day the stories out there and it's people's stories that we tell and not everybody will be happy but still it does affect your self-confidence and self-esteem in your journal is your journal ism is great so that's so we'll talk to you later i'm sure.

girl american miller is unesco's chief of freedom of expression and safety of journalism joins me now live from the libyan capital good to have you with a service to camilla on the program you heard from our own correspondent morgan it seems abuses do find it easier to insult and ridicule journalists behind the screen of a computer and the figures that you're finding out about. definitely it's a pleasure to be with you and your audience although to speak about such a horrific the shoot that these unesco global study is showing so many details and it's not only a consequence of some individuals doing this kind of harassment and attack attacks that you're a journalist just underlines but is it's more than that they studies showing that those attacks in many cases are all orchestrated coordinated attacks by powerful

interests that is these brave female journalists are investigating either if they are investigating corruption elections human rights violations women's issues so unesco is deeply concerned not alarmed by the results of these was it a surprise of a figure seems to increase with the issue issue of ethnicity race and gender. yeah i mean we we were surprised that journalists female journalists are being targeted online for being journalists and for being woman but actually we were quite surprised by the statistical differences of those attacks when we added other components on these on these equations such as those royalists being identifying themselves as blacks or big or or their different characteristics so

indeed the differences are even bigger when the journalists identified them steps out or in this research in this survey with those other characteristics do women in certain parts of the world who are reporting as journalists have more acute problems than others and of the parts of the globe. i would say that is this is the very 1st study about these that is really could be called global because as you mentioned in your introduction we have surveyed journalists from 125 kountry as we have made in that interviews with jordan with 173 individuals from all the regions we have analyzed 2500000 posts with those aggressions so what unfortunately we are seeing here is that this is a global phenomenon however there are differences in terms of the mattick so you have journalists that are reporting goes by that violence because they are covering

as i said elections are in conflict as we heard just before i started speaking or because they are covering we miss issues things that are relevant for the rights of women all over the world or journalists that are covering issues that are. wrongly identified as male coverage for instance sports so we do think that we need to pay attention here as these as a global problem and not to dismiss it for any specific region show you know just briefly i mean how does the impact of such abuse affect sort of the mental health of female journalists as a whole. need to stay within the industry. yeah actually a significant amount of the journalists surveyed almost one 3rd mentioned it was that they had mental house impact after days attacks these tracks

these happens in different ways post traumatic stress it's actors will these is one important impact but they're not very important impact is that almost also one 3rd of the journalists surveyed nation it was that they decided to self-censorship their south themselves after those attacks so as you can notice here this has a dog will act in freedom of expression because there is an impact of the in the not on the individual freedom of expression of those women journalists being attacked but our so has an impact on the collective freedom of expression of only of all their readers listeners etc because they decided to do so to self-censorship themselves due to these 2 deceit u.-h. so indeed the consequences for it is for public sphere for reporting the wrong doing it set again being highly deter mental fascinator getting your opinion
