ashee is someone who describes herself as neither male or female — in pakistan, commonly known as the third gender. but entertaining is the preserve of the young and, as the years went by, ashee realised more and more of her community faced destitution when they could no longer work. this is the story of guru ashee‘s quest to change the future of the third gender people in old age. the history of the indian subcontinent is rich with stories of third gender people.

during the mughal empire, from the 16th century, they were advisors to the ruling class and experts in the arts. the reality today is much less romantic. i'm about to meet one of the most revered members of the community, known affectionately as guru ashee. guru literally means teacher. they're the elders of the third gender community and are like surrogate mothers. tonight, guru ashee has invited me along with her students to a private party. i'm fine. you look very nice. thanks.

ashee and her students are expected to get the party started. but there's more to it than that. there's a deeply held belief that those like ashee, third gender, can bring good fortune to the soon—to—be—married. the business of dancing at weddings has taken a hit since pakistan has moved towards a more conservative

reading of islam. so tonight, as the money rains down, ashee makes the most of her role as master of ceremony. i loved it in there. it was really loud and brash tonight.

and it was all the things that pakistan is famous for and reasons that i love this place. and it's rare that you see something like that. but these events are few and far between. this is a family that she has history with, she's danced for them for a long time and they take care of her but, realistically, how long is she going to be able to do that? away from the bright lights and music of lahore‘s party scene, guru ashee has been working on a project she hopes will one day become her legacy. for the last eight years, she's been developing a retirement home for third gender people. it has everything you could need to stay well in old age, even a running machine.

once complete, guru ashee hopes it will become home to a0 members of her community.

though there are no official figures for the third gender community, it's estimated to be close to half a million people. it's believed that almost 5% of them are hiv positive. if you're third gender, you're 50 times more likely to be living with hiv than someone from the general population.

less than ten miles away is the diamond market — one of lahore‘s worst—kept secrets. almost everyone knows about this place, but it's rarely referenced in polite conversation. it's where society's outcasts have lived together for generations. it's currently home to guru ashee and many of the people who'll eventually move to the retirement home. madhu, who i met at the retirement home, has invited me to her place for the evening. she rarely ever takes a night off work so, tonight, i'll join her as she waits for clients.

madhu's got her first client of the evening but, before they get to business, he's agreed to speak to me.

madhu told me all of her clients are men and identify as straight. they're either married or, like this guy, plan on marrying a woman soon. in a fiercely patriarchal society, these men make little distinction between women and those who identify as third gender. sex workers like madhu generally charge less than women and, for some clients, that makes all the difference. once madhu finishes up

with her client, i spend some time with madhu's housemate, who i also met at the retirement home.

sex workers have a shelflife. in the not too distant future, madhu's going to need help just to survive. madhu can't return to herfamily because they don't accept her as third gender. in a nation where the extended family system is the default for care in old age, what happens when that system rejects who you are? khurram lives in the diamond market area. today, he's trying his best to fit in to the ocean of bearded men in prayer caps, but it wasn't always like this for khurram. in fact, khurram used to be saima.

khurram works as a tailor, making clothes for the third gender community — clothes that he no longer wears himself. i want to understand why he now dresses as a man.

there's this real sense of sadness, and that's because khurram's not entirely being himself. he said it. there's the person who he was born, that's who he was assigned to be and he was raised as a boy, and then there's saima, and saima is who he feels his spirit is, and he says straight out that he misses saima. and he says saima comes out

in the day a few times in a bit of his speech or in a bit of his attitude, but he can't live and dress and, most importantly probably, he can't love the way he wants to. good evening, everyone. you guys are listening to fm 91. we have a very special guest, guru ashee. tonight, at one of lahore‘s most popular radio stations, guru ashee is using her celebrity status to win over a national audience and draw attention to the plight of her people.

she's really going for it. to have references to things like hiv and to 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 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 khurram's getting older, he's attempting to conform. he's turned his back on his third gender identity. he's now a fixture at his local mosque. sure, there's a spiritual element, but it's also about the practicalities of being accepted back into the care and relative stability of his family.

here, it's just accepted that third gender people will lose their dignity, families and the promise of care in old age, just for being who they are. before i leave pakistan, i want to catch up with guru ashee. today at the retirement home, she's handing out food to lahore‘s third gender community.

guru ashee is changing long established attitudes and demanding care in later life for the third gender. the retirement home isn't just bricks and mortar — it's about building a new type of future, one that brings a chance at dignity, care and love in old age to guru ashee and her community. it was a very wet end to the week for some parts of england and wales.

we had an amber warning in force for a while across south wales, no surprise a while across south wales, no surprise scenes a while across south wales, no surprise scenes like this show how high some of the river levels were running. just to give you an indication of how much rain fell, he isa indication of how much rain fell, he is a selection of places with rainfall amounts from friday morning up rainfall amounts from friday morning up to saturday lunchtime, many places saw around three inches of rain in south wales saw five inches of rain so no surprise we saw a number of flood warnings, all tied in with this weather front which was stationary across central parts of the country, it slowly moved its way southwards and eastwards into saturday night into sunday morning, the floodgates open to a much colder arctic wind. but this air is much drier, and sunday looks fine up and down the country, a better day for england and wales, lots of sunshine around the low pressure to the north—east of scotland will bring stronger winds and a scattering of

showers which will be wintry of the high ground. temperatures lower across the ground, 9—i3d in the south—east, that will be noticeable. into next week, with high pressure nearby, it shouldst tend to stay dry with good spells of sunshine but it will be cold by day, cold and frosty at night. high pressure firmly in the driving seat as we head on into monday. the isobars white as well so lighter winds meaning we could start off with mist and fog around, frost to be scraping those cars first thing with, but try and bright for many, plenty of sunshine. cloud feeding into the north of scotland and we could see a bit more cloud across the far south—west, a weather front not too far away. but a cold day, temperatures 8—iid. the position of that high shifts as we head into tuesday, it starts to push closer towards the north sea. meanwhile, we have these weather fronts pushing up from the

south—west. it could mean there will be more cloud, one or two showers across the far south—west of england, more of a breeze also blowing in from the east, and further north and east, we could pick up more of an easterly wind which could feed cloud and of the north sea, but generally speaking, another fine, north sea, but generally speaking, anotherfine, dry north sea, but generally speaking, another fine, dry day with plenty of sunshine after a cold and frosty start. the high pressure will shift over towards the north sea and allow this area of low pressure to bump up against it. what that will do is squeeze the isobars as the winds will pick up as well from the south oi’ will pick up as well from the south or south—east so it could be breezy on wednesday across western areas, more cloud and a few showers is that weather front moves in from northern ireland and wales in south—west. elsewhere, cloud to the east coast, another largely cold and dry day with sunshine. then as we head on beyond wednesday there is some uncertainty to how quickly this area of low pressure moves in. we think

there into friday, they could be outbreaks of rain, and it will also push away the arctic northerly the lease and introducing milder south—westerly. towards the end of the week, although a lot of uncertainty, it could start to turn more unsettled as low pressure sta rts more unsettled as low pressure starts to portion of the atlantic to bring more wet and cloudy conditions, but also milder weather as well.

tonight at ten... police charge the driver of the essex lorry with the manslaughter of 39 people found dead inside its trailer. maurice robinson also faces people trafficking offences. as police work to identify the victims, families in vietnam say they fear the worst. translation: he was on that truck. all 39 are dead, and he must be one of them. he's gone now. we'll bring you all the latest. also tonight: england storm to their first final in 12 years in the rugby world cup, overcoming the reigning champions, new zealand. and the democratic unionists tell borisjohnson they won't support him
