11:34 am
or we take you behind the scenes so you can catch the conversations that take place after the broadcast ends coming up. what was pakistan to, to put an end to violence against women at all, get the discussion over the potential risks and rewards of deep sea mining. 2 years ago, indian prime minister and a renter moody's government revoke the special status given to and in administer kashmir in 1954. the government says that in the past 2 years, things have gotten better pointing to improved infrastructure and an uptick in social development. but journalists and activists argue that the economy, human rights situation and security all gotten worse for cache mary, since 2019, i recently spoke with a member of the b, j. p, a journalist and a historian to ask what the revocation of special status has meant for kashmiris. it was a conversation that deserved extra attention. so after the broadcast, i shared a video from one of the streams of worse with our guess. this is far, but sheer, have a listen to what she has to say and then how the guest responded in the last couple
11:35 am
of years because me don't only feel were denied. but with all markers of identity go on, such as the constitution and the flag. and the new law is implemented in the play, such as expediting off domiciled laws or opening up. this is an opportunity to non locals. where does locals have no access to internet? it gives rise to a different kind of wish media are in our face to face, confronting and impending one time at the identity and impending mortality of the land of their home. and it gives rise to a different kind of fear of how much more loss one has to endure in the near future . now, you know, i don't want to put words in your mouth based on some of the conversation we had. i feel like you disagree with her, which i guess you're entitled to, but you can't really negate that people actually feel that way. some people,
11:36 am
at least yeah, definitely some people. but we can say the majority. we can't compare. what few people feel about abrogation. and what changes dsp, what future they see? i see a better kush me. i dropped off a better guess. schmidt. since i've seen what, what would you say to those people? what would you say to them? how would you reach out to them? definitely see we have always been shocked off leadership in monkish me. that has been a bit drain drain militancy activity killings every day. i think since i am aware about the world, i have seen shut down. i have seen calls from the separatists. go that could meet under logged down. the change is bad. definitely just one bedroom
11:37 am
sentiment. what we have lost can knocked out all the time. we cannot lose our loved ones. we have grown our graveyard. every corner german bush. me is what i'll be fighting for this article 370 or debating when all the cash meetings will be killed by their own people who will go and pick up guns who are militant for killing that. ok. all right, ok, hold on. ok. okay. so city, what would you say that she is trying to make the case that, that this was necessary and, and quite frankly, it has been kind of a gradual while, as it felt sudden at the time, i'm sure, a very jarring and traumatic hadn't been a gradual sort of moving away any way once, once he got to the point where article 370 was revoked, wasn't this a gradual thing? frankly, i mean the article 370 and it's derogation because it has not been abrogated. it's
11:38 am
still on the books and it's still on the books because it is very complicated to, to get it off the books and speak to the structure of the thing of the indian funds, jewish and, but i think that. 2 gradually is, is true because i think that the, the d p as added on its agenda ever since its inception, or the inception of the ology represents which is, you know, about 995 years old now. and it has been so yes, there's been a gradual tendency to try to try to come towards it. but i'm, you know, more curious about, you know, talking about, you know, the killings and so forth and how she wants it all to stop is of
11:39 am
a easy way to stop it. you know, if they take away the, the military forces that we have over and the kind of draconian laws that we have which allows the notary to act with impunity, you know, towards anything towards any kind of protests and so forth. she has a new did several times to the fact that all you know, that has been nothing or lessening of protests since over the last 2 years. and it's very true and there's a very good reason for it because it was, it's a shoot inside atmosphere. and at the very least, you can be taken away if you're found protests. and even if you're protesting about not having electricity or not having water in your village, you can be taken away and locked away. and a lot of people have had that done. so,
11:40 am
i mean, you know, it's, it's very hard to describe what it is like to live in, in the kind of atmosphere that we have had in the last, well, i mean, the last 30 years. but i didn't specifically in the last 2 years because the impunity with which people can act has been you know. ok. i think multiplied several times. okay. gore so go are obviously sedate and hannah are are describing 2 different environments. how would you characterize, how someone living in india to administer kashmir might feel now? is it fair to say that some of them might feel hopeless? it is actually, you know, it's, it's not only hopeless missed the, but it's a despondency i would go on to extend that it is the fed is so much that it's the
11:41 am
fed about identity. it is the fed about that this vast majority that it has been b, g, p, civilizational, and ideological agenda to days. memories of muslim kush me to it ain't got a job to raise identity and it, they feel the boss of majority sees it as a smash and grab operation. and, you know, access now is a deli based and job. it's tracks internet shut down and it said, 550 date of 55 day long internet shut down. i was witnessed engine when could meet and then our friend miss said that everything is hunky dory. and of course, continue to ignore habeas corpus petitions. even a former chief ministers who were locked out and even in the political parties, every one was behind the body. the ministry of home affairs, india told the parliament that they had 7357 people were arrested, detained, or placed under arrest. and if that is normal, i mean,
11:42 am
i leave it to your imagination if all of that suspension of civil liberties obliterating the middle ground, no internet, no communication, no freedom of speech. if that that is not well, i leave it to your imagination. so what life is life for cash? mary's clearly depends on whom you ask. next step. deep seen mining, is it a good idea? so i'm say there are resources at the bottom of the ocean that could be critical for solving renewable energy problems. critics or warning of irreversible disaster to ocean life. if this mining actually begins the conversation as heating up as the human body in charge of the sea, that is likely to make a decision about whether one island in the south pacific can begin extracting those minerals. one of our viewers, an associate professor of the region university of science and technology believes that deep c mining is a necessity. so i will listen to what to say and then stick around to see if our guests agreed when it comes to the. the question is this needed other more pros and cons when it comes to deep mining?
11:43 am
i think there are more pros, because if you look at the, the world's land mining industry today, many of the, the big deposits are getting empted and there are a lot of issues regarding and, and work environment. and i think that it's also the chair to give the whole world a chance to do mineral extraction of such important materials. i mean, i think the issue here is that we need to have multiple options or supply it just like with energy. my fear is that we will go down the path. so what happened with nuclear energy? the activists community, well intentioned, as it was, the conflict of nuclear weapons and nuclear energy. we ended up with making nuclear
11:44 am
energy on the canonical and we ended up with a climate crisis which would have been prevented. we had actually continued with nuclear power, which is far safer than any other form of energy per unit output. so the same would happen if you use the precautionary principle inappropriately. you could end up in a worse situation than what you would have wanted to prevent. so this is my concern and the only reason why i'm not gung ho about deep sea mining. all i'm saying is give it an opportunity to proceed. they will be ample time to do bio diversity assessment. so there will be no project approved without a very detailed environmental and social impact assessment. and that's where the activists community should constructively engage rather than just scoring points on getting a moratorium. it's much easier to score points on campaigns where you want to stop something rather than trying to actually ok. all right, maureen maureen gets certainly gets to respond to that. i
11:45 am
really object to that particular point of view about civil society just being in this game to make life difficult for everybody. i think we and as i said from the civic, we have real experiences with this new industry within our territorial waters. but we can see the role of our governments as sponsoring states in the area itself. also, there is a question that i think as a society as a whole, this is in the area of commonly known as the heritage of mankind. and yet we have a civil society. and as the public have had very little c, because governments and contractors are designing this rules about what is necessary in terms of options. sure. but we should give or other options in coding . we cycling options are also the best chance going forward. we know that we should
11:46 am
not be transferring the burden off the kinds of mistakes made with the coal, oil and gas industry with this particular one. we will be looking at generations to clean up what decisions we take today. so i think there are some really a contentious issues. it is okay to be contentious. partly because we are obviously the point of view at different levels of the spectrum. but we would still challenge whether to what extent should we allow or, or not alone, dixon. i need to go ahead, that's still a relevant question for society as a hole in the area, quite commonly known as the common heritage of mankind. and daniel, you are smarter on these things than i am. how much traction, how much power do environmentalist and activists have in driving this dialogue,
11:47 am
this conversation as it goes forward? yeah, well, i mean, that remains to be seen. i think in, in recent years there definitely has been an increasingly vocal opposition to, to deep mining or at least an increasingly vocal call or a moratorium to hit pause on this industry. and, you know, those calls are coming from scientists, conservation and some governments as well. and i think it's important to, to look at that at the same time. we're on the other track when you look at, you know, investment into the industry. just, you know, right now we have the company, the metals company, which is basically, you know, getting itself listed on the stock market on the nasdaq, in order to raise hundreds of millions of dollars to, to start investing in some of the operations down the line. so i think it's really
11:48 am
important to, you know, at the same that keep both these things in mind that on one side, when it comes to kind of the financing that the industry is moving ahead. well, you know, civil society is still having this very important debate. about whether or not we should be doing this at all. i think one just last point is that i have great respect for civil society and they have an important role to play, to hold these companies to account. so i think that's the role they should continue to play in terms of making sure like they're doing with deep green and making sure that there is transparency. all those things are very important. but unfortunately we're in a real conundrum with climate change. and the situation is eminent. recycling is the goal in the deep green. unlike other companies wants to get into the recycling business. they have 31. gerard barron was vilified by the civil society group. he has said that he wants enough metal stocks from deep sea mining to starch recycling
11:49 am
and no more. he does not. once we have stock for recycling, go into a circular economy model and that shouldn't be the goal. i agree on that point for all of us, clearly a consensus to we are in a climate crisis. what to do about it that's fill up for debate. finally, a very important conversation around violence against women is taking place in pakistan as a nation, react to the heroic murder of nor mcadam. recently on the stream for me. ok spoke with 3 women from pakistan, lake of the car, and the parliamentary secretary for law and justice law met and activists and community leader. and one of ours is there is own producers, aaliyah chug tie. our community had a lot to say on the topic, including one woman who says that the pakistani government has yet to clearly communicate that sexism and massage, and he will not be tolerated. so have a listen in the past couple of weeks ago, a very senior minister, very senior member of the ruling party addressed as alien bucks done with housings of people. it ended. and over then he joked about slapping
11:50 am
a female politician who was from a rival political party, and no action was taken against him. they were no consequences. so then needs to be a clear message from the government that massage any 6 of them will not be tolerated within the parliament or outside of the parliament. and that message has didn't not come across when it is very big, very careful that she's not mentioning any named aaliyah. you are not in your head . i am wondering about the examples being set from the top impact practice from the leadership, from the politicians or you go fast. yes, the thing is that you know what i think is right. that is 222 percent above me about 20 to 30 percent representation. that the cabinet is for women out of 53 people in order to make things better for women, there needs to be better female representation. when they go with part of a press conference not too long ago with a couple of other m. a nice talking about how prime minister kind of
11:51 am
a women empowerment. but don't we need more women representing the country? which way we are 50 percent of the country. let me think i want to add something to go ahead. we think about the guns and if it's not ideal energy, how many women are on that thing? i mean, women get the johns to be fathers on because we didn't contribute to such a domestic violence. let me bring in some thoughts from youtube and so was commenting on everything you're saying guess fill a doro says the case is in pakistan, are not miniscule compared to the west. how many do not get reported can, will quick response to that. as i mentioned earlier, and 90 percent of women are facing domestic violence and 0.4 percent of them actually reported me. very correctly said also because of this shaming associated around the weekend, occupying the very patriarchal society in domestic violence. it's something more
11:52 am
enduring. and i think, i think to the point it becomes something that we're going to justify and are going to need not to interfere when business abuse. so when you think about that, if you see a man beating a life in front of you within the streets, nobody is going to come and stop them. and as a community leader, i would miss 1000000 conversations between women every single month, much of which are around domestic so undergraduate, no girl or media, and then again, or leadership. and then i really just for the leaders also mainstream, the patriarchal violent view, and it have me performing person as knew me any way to just uber gender discrimination. and most importantly, i do want to hear the thing of youth apartments being nor they can get away with it . because standard thing or, or if you have been to stablish production or even would accountable for victory through the violence against women. this is a very important person, i want to be part of this conversation. i name is sha faq. she is
11:53 am
a friend of nor she was a friend of nor. and when she spoke to us earlier, this is what she told us. how to look. when i heard about what had happened to your friend nor i was extremely shocked. and i'm still in drama. it didn't feel good ality because you tedious to the news, but with this to have someone talk last you have been so devastating. not only impacted the friends or family of blue, but it is effective in di nation and i believe that the perpetrators i job they should be given capital punishment because it is now the time that a president must be set for the future that people cannot get away with these crimes and adjust to the front door and for all other victims to go to the item data from the side in bunker thought to make suggestion about capital punishment. it's something that our audience are also thinking about. bring the death penalty to every man who uses any form of extreme religious beliefs to torture main injure
11:54 am
or kill a woman. ali a, do you think that is a popular sentiment in pakistan? the death penalty? that's the way to deal with sexual violence against women. i think everybody's need your reaction is that death penalty should be implemented as far as new cases. but i would go so far to say that has a capital punishment were rated to be helped bennett, who was murdered in less than a trash her basis was, you know, when he got the death penalty has it made a difference. we've had cases of rape in children's way, and i'll go so far to say that we're talking about tennis. i didn't talk. but there is a huge conversation that needs to happen about violence on boys as well. and then racist and murder was also somebody who was actually abuse of the child. where does this partial ends really? why, what are we going to talk about restoration justice? are we going to talk about, you know, if there's other ways to deal with things?
11:55 am
why are they not math campaign happening about gender based violence and just sexual violence? and what happens inside seminaries, there was a video that was leaked not long ago about, you know, you even base senior politician, you know, belongs to prominent party with an alliance for the park to find out what is happening. why don't they know my campaign? we've, we've invited westerners to come for tourism and part of why are they not my campaign talking to the public about sexual violence being about me? why is there no accountability for that? i want to bring in one more thought here, and i think this one is, is a, is a big one. and it's really about how the men and women view themselves in pakistan . i cannot comment on this, but i'm going to bring in stuff come, well, she's a super model. she's from pakistan and she has very firm views on men and women's role. and maybe this will give us a little insight into how do you even address cultural change when young
11:56 am
people have faith beliefs like this one is have a look if have a listen. i mean, manage on the go to is our husband. i married him, which means i have to pick up his shoes and iron his clothes. i know where all of those things are and walked and when he has to eat, i need to know these things because i am his wife. and i am a woman. he doesn't have to know the same about me. this is what i believe because this is what i've grown up, seen this feminism that has become a part of our lives. it's because of liberals. they shared the model that was a very popular sentiment that went viral that, that whole conversation and, and there's a lot of support for that conversation. i am bringing no judgment here, but i am showing that with our audience so that they have a better view of where the cultural conversation is happening in pakistan. if i
11:57 am
wanted to ask you in a sentence guest, because we've talked about this for quite a while now, what would be the one thing that you would pio? it's rise in terms of tackling sexual violence. it is one thing i will ask malika, come will aaliyah. one thing, ladies. really please go fast. also me is problem. interest. get people on justice . it would be implementation of the law enforcement awful law at all levels. sensitizing our duty days. police force a prosecution. so it's been mean of women and go over pockets on ensuring more money can. thank you so much for bringing the perspective from the government. appreciate you comma one thing. i think it would be educate and making resources available at a very graph. so for everybody around him, i'm
11:58 am
a thank you for being in our conversation today. aaliyah, what would be your priority to address sexual violence against women in pakistan? i have to, he would come expect education and awareness and gender sensitivity. maybe, you know, when, when it comes to implementing the law, we're talking about police force agencies. they need to understand that filing a report, women cannot be turned away. there has to be awareness, but these things have to do but a very important dialogue that should continue. and that is our show for today. thank you for watching. we'll see you next time. ah. jewish passion for elephant conservation colleagues have become friends. but with civil war defending famous now protect themselves, escaping deep into the rain forest back to the western world. for the elephant
