i thought she was dead because i was trying to feel for a pulse, trying to feel... my fingers were also numb, so i wasn't sure if it was my fingers, but i couldn't feel her breath, i couldn't feel her heartbeat or anything. in the freezing conditions, her body temperature dropped from 37 to just 18 degrees. but it was this super—cool state which protected her brain and body from deteriorating. once airlifted to a hospital in barcelona, she was connected to a machine which took over the function of her heart and lungs, re—oxygenating her blood and gradually warming her body. six hours after her heart stopped beating, they revived her using a defibrillator. apart from some numbness in her hands, the english teacher, who lives in barcelona, has made a full recovery. and it has not put her off hiking.

has just as really been done? 1000 women are murdered in pakistan every year in the name of honour. as a woman, she made it her mission to catch the killers of qandeel but having pressed charges against six men, including the alleged accomplice, she finds there has only been one conviction. but she also feels hopeful. previously families have been able to forgive those responsible for honour killings but section 311

here he is in a video with the transfer. the story went viral and again, mufti abdul qawi's behaviour asa again, mufti abdul qawi's behaviour as a cleric was being questioned. in our last interview in 2016, it took a surprising turn stop after oui’ took a surprising turn stop after our interview finished, and with the

i don't know what to make of him. it's not about misreading the situation. that is what women are fighting for day in and day out. when qandeel was murdered, her family, especially her dad, pushed ha rd family, especially her dad, pushed hard for the killers to be punished. but during the trial, it transpired that just months
4:45 am
but during the trial, it transpired thatjust months after her death, and contrary to what they were telling the press, the parents had been trying to get the court to forgive their son. qandeel‘s dad has lost his eyesight and is barely mobile. the last three yea rs have and is barely mobile. the last three years have ta ken and is barely mobile. the last three years have taken their toll. when qandeel did eventually make it into showbiz, she became the breadwinner, appearing on tv channels across the country. she was earning enough to rent a house for her parents. now, with qandeel dead
4:46 am
and her brother in prison, the pa rents and her brother in prison, the parents have had to move back to the village and are struggling to survive. mum has had to go back to work in the fields. after qandeel‘s death, supporters of the family helped them financially. the media called forjustice. but as time went on, the financial support tied up. the parents felt betrayed by the media and by calling for justice had pushed for section 311 to be enforced, sending their son to prison.
4:47 am
qandeel‘s parents may not feel they got the justice they wanted but what is the daughter's death meant for my country? but what has their daughter's death meant for my country? in karachi in 2018, the first women's marched took place in pakistan. women from every walk of life came together demanding equal
4:48 am
rights. for many, this was the first time they had marched. in 2019, the idea spread and marches took place in every major city across the country. many women were afraid of being seen at the march in case they would be punished by theirfamilies so would be punished by theirfamilies so whose face did they decide to use to hide their own? it was qandeel bulls —— to hide their own? it was qandeel bulls -- qandeel‘s. i'm on the way to meet the women artists who played an integral part in that march. hi! how are you? nice to meet you. nice to meet you too. thank you so much for having us. she is one of the first two took place in the first march in karachi. this was like a series of artworks i did and the title for this was fast woods and it is this term that is often used to describe goods —— girls which don't fit, you know, the conventional the conditional kind of thing that
4:49 am
society has for us. what is happening with the cover? so that is me actually smoking a cigar and i faced a lot of backlash from my family when they found out i smoke and so this was a sort of tongue—in—cheek kind of an artwork that i made. and so it wasjust about girls being girls and then being labelled, you know, fast girls, for something so ordinary. this one is with a girl saying no to marriage, and so she is like the groom's head. you have got the qandeel masks! yes! did they come from? this was from the march and this was the first march i attended of any kind and it was a beautiful experience and it was really awe—inspiring and when someone randomly asked if i wanted a qandeel mask and it was really beautiful because it felt like she is there, 01’ because it felt like she is there, or she is part of the much with us. and a lot of the things that we were talking about were a lot of issues
4:50 am
that also had a lot to do with qandeel, so it was really good to have these masks there and have her be part of the entire much with us. 0k, be part of the entire much with us. ok, i'm calling her now. also, we are here, we were talking about your masks. samya's friend is the pakistani artist whose illustration became the mask. currently in berlin studying for her masters degree, we spoke to her online. that image really became the symbol of all of oui’ really became the symbol of all of our collective tanks about the situation. how does it all make you feel?
4:51 am
4:52 am
this is insane, she has 11.9 million views on this one. while we are filming, another young social media staff finds herself in the middle of a scandal. she walked into the foreign office and went and sat in the prime minister's chair. and the media just went ballistic. touted as the next qandeel, she is a young woman from the north of the country. she was abroad when the scandal broke and decided not to return for security reasons. so we're going to speak to her online. hello!
4:53 am
4:54 am
4:55 am
i think she was begging me to understand her position. i could sense what she was trying to tell me, my son has been more dear to me andi me, my son has been more dear to me and i don't want my baby to grow old ina and i don't want my baby to grow old in a prison. ijust feel really defeated. the thing that i did not wa nt to defeated. the thing that i did not want to believe is that the value of a woman will always be less than that of a man. the value of a daughter will always be less than a son. even though there is great sadness in qandeel‘s story, women across my country are standing up. we are beginning to see a face of pakistan that no—one ever imagined. it is ha rd to that no—one ever imagined. it is hard to believe that a girl from a village in rural punjab has changed

gale force winds for many of us — and also showers or long spells of rain, some of which will be heavy in places. however, i have got to stress the weekend doesn't start off on such a bad note, thanks to this ridge of high pressure. winds will be lighter for a while. but we look to the west, this area of low pressure which will arrive late in the day across northern and western areas. so, indeed, for much of england and wales, it should be a dry start with some sunny spells around. the further north and west that you are, though, the clouds will increase through the day, as will the south—westerly wind. and the rain will begin to pepper, particularly across scotland. it will be heavy across some western areas. temperatures not bad for the time of year — highs of around 10 or 11 degrees. and then through saturday evening and saturday night, that wet and windy weather sweeps across the country. some heavy rain in places, followed by blustery showers across northern and western areas. because of the strength of the wind and also the rain and the showers, the temperatures should not really fall below six or seven degrees. so, for sunday, then, this is the pressure chart. you can see how many isobars there are on the charts. it's going to be a very windy day. a real squeeze in the isobars arriving across ireland later on — more on that in just a moment.
4:58 am
but for sunday, then, it's a bright day. there will be sunny spells around, particularly across eastern areas. lots of showers in the north and west, some of them heavy, maybe thundery, merging together to produce longer spells of rain in places. a bit of wintriness over the higher ground as temperatures will be in single figures in the north. 10—13 degrees, though, further south. and then later on sunday, we will see this area of low pressure which has actually been named by the irish meteorological service as storm atiyah, as it's going to bring a swathe of severe gales though sunday night into monday across the republic of ireland and into northern ireland, wales and the south—west. gusts of 70 miles an hour or more in exposure, but a very windy spell right across the country, so this could cause some disruption. stay tuned to your bbc local radio and to subsequent weather forecasts. so very windy on the start of monday as the storm clears off into the near continent. but you will notice another ridge of high pressure trying to build in behind from the west as the day wears on. but it will be a windy day start to monday. quite a bit of sunshine around. very windy down the east coast
4:59 am
with further showers through the day. but as that ridge begins to topple in, then the winds should start to ease and we will see increasing amounts of sunshine. a fairly cool day in the north. just about making double figures in the south. but it is a brief settled spell, because the next spell of wet and windy weather moves in for the tuesday, followed by blustery showers and sunny spells on wednesday, so the weather really is very up and down.
