nicholas huck has more this now from deck ha. a routine parliamentary session descends into volume. a member of parliament slaps and kicks one of his colleagues . the woman was pregnant and has since miscarried, even so some politicians say she deserved the beating with ms. lincoln. i feel very well if it's from she started to miss. i understand the impede that he to she insulted his religious eda but i disapprove of what happened. charges have been laid against the offending m p, but despite robust new laws to protect women and girls in senegal, research shows 68 percent of women victims of such crimes. never speak out it upon my bank 19 years to summon up the courage to bring an end to her marriage and the daily blows that came with living with her husband, he would beat her unconscious,

hitting her so hard that he damaged the nerves at the base of her skull, leaving her blind in the right eye and bang eventually left him and approached the police. but he continued to threaten her falcon mouth asked the girl. it's painful, it really hurts that he is still free. after everything he has done, he continues to harass me and goes looking for me, but i want to live my life. her closest relatives knew by the violence but did nothing to stop it. according to the un, when in 3 women worldwide experienced sexual or domestic violence, yes, you see, i said that the rising number cases is linked to fear of denouncing such accent. so to the level of negligence and normalization of domestic violence, it is certainly the case in the household and beyond. the brawl in parliament has parked a national conversation about the treatment of women, and it's not the only case in the public spotlight. we're outside the main court house in the car where we spend sancho the main on position leader,

a standing trial for rape. look at the headlines. it says she is finally ready. the moment she has been waiting for this one. the sweet and beautiful duel. there is an undertone of sexism where the owners is on the women to prove her innocence, rather than on the man. few women are willing to come forward. many of those who do are still afraid, but defiant, rebuilding their lives. one step at a time. nicholas hawk al jazeera de car. well, south africa's government is planning to legalize prostitution to help combat growing violence against women. if the changes back by the parliament, justice ministry says sex workers will have access to safe or working conditions. so other south africa has one of the wells highest rates of h i v and is facing away the violence against women critics, a d criminalizing prostitution will only benefit organized crime. i jerry and

politicians of some the governor of the central bank because of the new policy restraints in cash withdrawals and ames to promote cashless transactions and africa's largest economy loss. wheat restrictions were imposed on over the counter and atm cash withdrawals. new policy is meant to take full effect from january, but legislatures wanted suspended. so we go to south korea now. people there are going to get a. busy year or 2 younger in january, at least on paper, government has passed. laws describe the countries to traditional counting systems in favor of a standard international juan. this includes the tradition of counting young people as one year old at birth, adding one year every january 1st, unit kim explains this from so near is day here is often met with a little bit of inks. and that's because on january 1st, one year is automatically added to everybody's age, much like it was for our ancestors. this means also for babies was there a boy?

there are automatically one year old making the korean age, often one to 2 years older than the international standard of wolf world around the sun, which is being used in legal and health matters. would cirillo we using to national age when banking. so i often get confused that set the change at least on paper, starting in the middle of 2023 president you sonya is set to sign a bill that was nearly unanimously approved by a parliament to standardize age and south korea to align with international norms so how do south koreans feel about getting younger next year from a farm 72 years old? now that means are we 7 to years with the change? i also think it will be great news for people who are getting married later. people over 40 years old girl voice is their reflecting what was found in

a september survey, 8 out of 10 people said they agree with the change. only 6 percent said keep the status quo. but given the hierarchical structure of south korea society observer say it will likely take some time before the international age, truly seats into the social structure. now, china is pricing for a growing wave of covet infections on the government dropped a raft of restrictions following widespread protests under the new rules ineffectual cases with mild symptoms are allowed to quarantine at home and health status checks on mobile apps have been removed. current a virus cases are already on the rise in china, including in will hon, where the 1st cases of the virus were initially found, forties urging people to remain vigilant and continue with testing. oh, song house, who's the head been actually the opening up of beaching has been quite fast. and now with the end of the year, fast approaching the using of covered policies will mean many people will be able

to go home for the new year. because many haven't been able to in the last 3 years, a report has reveal the devastating impacts human activity is having on marine species across the globe. the international union for conservation of nature has put some populations of the plant eating do gong on its red list for risk of extinction. the numbers of dwindled in east africa, new caledonia, with only several 100 of these left pillow. corals have been listed as critically endangered, shrinking by 80 percent since 1990. 1 of the most urgent threats is stony coral tissue loss disease, which is infecting up to a 100 meters of reef every day. and nearly half of the world's abalone species are risk of disappearing altogether as suffering from over harvesting and poaching, as well as climate change disease and pollution. cray, hilton taylor is the head of the red list unit with the international unit for the

conservation of nature. he says more than a quarter of the well species are at risk. this is the court 2nd reading. so currently with this updated read this, we have over 150000 species assessed. and of those about 28 percent of threatening expansion. so that's really saving in itself over the years we've been trying to improve our coverage of different sticky different systems on the register in the marina or is that big gap? can we be pushing hard now to try to hold under the gaps? and as suddenly varies, be, are getting assessed. this is starting to reveal the story of what is really happening to, to marine life. that it is the hidden under the ocean water country. see what's going on. i think it's all fine and safe down there. but really in the allergy, we are having a huge impact on our, on our marine environment. and obviously you have to live and see that we depend on for our food. and that is, well, a team of 1st nations people as collaborating with scientists on a restoration project on australia's great barrier reef custodians of the coastline

is sharing 60000 years of traditional experience and history. with research is using new technologies to accelerate coral growth. sara cocher brought on this from far north queensland hello. it's an annual natural phenomenon when millions of carls across the great barrier reef released bundles of eggs and spoon in a mass sporting event. researches capture some of those bundles and read them in a floating nursery as part of a carl regeneration project. it allows us to put those baby corals after a week of development back down where they're needed most on neighboring reefs that are struggling. it's one of several reef restoration initiatives being child in a collaborative program. the teams identified degraded, reefs, and try to kick start the recovery process. what's different about this project is that 1st nations ranges are working side by side with scientists. sharing knowledge handed down. i've generations, we have this generational connection with the gripe,

our roof, and it's armor symbolic. so whatever happens to read happens to ross, whatever happens, ross, absolutely 3 results will. your indigenous ranges are also working with 2 groups, cheering lessons from the ancestors through storytelling. i met so many people out there i working here manual that i think it's nearly coming on to 6 years now since i was about 15 years old. very actually die original people i with national the guy, barry, we knew obviously the aboriginals, the families that connections the land obviously that they have um and how they tell the stories. but we never knew about the he climate change from psych loans to warmer waters. driven in part by rising greenhouse gas emissions has devastated some of the 3000 coral reefs that make up the unesco world heritage site. this team is trying to buy time for the great barrier reef by combining ancient knowledge with new technology. there are at least 70 traditional owner groups along the great

barrier reef. not every one of them is involved in risk management, but it's hoped over the next 10 years. these conservation projects can be scaled up to include more ganges artists are also came to share this skill sets. it's a really unique partnership to work across different groups like this. it really hasn't been done in this way before. and i think there's an object opportunity with this project to bring it up and down the great barrier reef in this different catchment. the team has released 30000000 co lover since the project began 3 years ago. it's a small step, but one in the right direction for a reef the united nation says is in danger. sarah clark out a 0 can to popular most of the daily show is given. his farewell says he recorded his final episode of the comedy kind of 1st show on thursday. south african comedian traveler knower has been the face of the american tv show for 7 years. he replaced john stewart, who brought the daily show to international fame. no,

by a quick look at my stories.
