though there are no figures for the third gender community, it is estimated to be close to half a million people. it is believed that almost 5% of them are hiv positive. if you are third gender, you are 50 times more likely to be living with hiv and someone from the general population. less tha n less than ten miles away is the

he worked as a tailor, making clothes for the third gender community. close that he no longer wears himself i want to understand why he now addresses as a man.

there is this real sense of sadness, and that's because he is not entirely being himself. he said it. there's quirim, that is who he was born, that was who he was raised to be, and there is salma, who he feels that's who his spirit is, and he misses salma. and salma comes out on the day a few times in a bit of his speech or his attitude, but he can't live and address and, most

she is really going for it. to have references to things like hiv and people rejecting members of their own family and to social stigma, to have that on mainstream radio and to be starting those conversations in this country, it is pretty revolutionary actually. the idea that being third gender is so unacceptable that it can't be tolerated is the cause of social isolation for many third gender people. now, he is getting older and attempting to conform. he has turned his back on his third gender

identity. he is now a fixture at his local mosque. be sure, there is a spiritual element, but it is also about the practicalities of being accepted back into the care and relative stability of his family.

before that happens, concern about rain totals mounting in parts of england but certainly into wales, especially south wales, where the met office has an amber warning infor60—80mm, more in the hills. some flooding and some travel disruption likely out of that. let's see how saturday shapes up. starting with the temperatures to begin with — a big contrast from north to south across the uk. close to freezing in parts of scotland, 15 degrees in southern england. so either side of this weather front but, notice, it is still raining through parts of southwest england, wales, the midlands and northern england to start the day. standing water on the roads. some pretty horrible travelling conditions but all of this is moving southwards into east anglia and the south—east of england. drying up where it has been so wet. brightening up for many of us in wales and northern england by the end of the afternoon. sunny spells in scotland and northern ireland with a few showers. blustery winds in northern scotland. still quite windy along the south coast of england, but the winds will slowly be easing as we go deeper into the day. and the colder air is gradually winning out. just the far southeast in the rain

by the end of the afternoon, holding onto temperatures into the mid teens. and that rain, after a wet saturday evening, finally then pulls away here. still a rash of showers overnight, into sunday, pushing into parts of scotland and northern ireland. wintry on the hills. clocks go back on saturday night, the end of british summertime. nothing to do with the weather but actually appropriately enough, as we go into sunday, it is the cold air, the chilly feel that has won out. but that is a big change where it has been so wet for the past few days. so a colder start across the uk on sunday morning. we may well see a touch of frost in places, but this is the big difference to part two of the weekend — yes, there are still showers rattling into northern scotland and wintry on the hills, maybe one or two to northern ireland, maybe the odd exposed coast in england and wales, but for most places, it is looking, notjust dry, but it is sunny as well. there will be a chilly breeze but you may like this sort of weather compared with what we've had. good visibility and clean, crisp air as well. briefly temperatures

into double figures, but they will not stay there too long and dropping quickly again on sunday night. but a big change for part two of the weekend where it has been 00:27:08,098 --> 2147483051:50:18,764 so very, very wet 2147483051:50:18,764 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 the past couple of days.
