10:06 am
traveling around the city and they seem empty as never before people said they had never seen something like that and we did actually see more or longer lines supermarkets or bus stations and this is because people nowadays are more worried about getting food because of this food shortages they sometimes don't get to see a key law of of. sugar in two weeks so they have to stand in line for hours and they decided to do that instead of going to vote ok no majoris main challenger henry for calling he's of course rejecting this vote he's called it rigged what's the opposition going to do can we expect demonstrations. well he asked for new elections in october the opposition was really easy vi that during this election time actually the people against fellow calling were the ones

10:13 am
competitors it was full throttle among the remaining airlines to score passengers germany's lufthansa group came out on top in terms of passenger numbers selling one hundred sixteen million tickets in two thousand and seventeen ireland's low cost ryanair remain the most popular budget carrier with over one hundred nine million passengers beating out i agee the company behind british airways iberia and air lingus and it was followed by air france k l m and ryanair is bitter rival easyjet . whether ryanair can keep the momentum going this year is another matter c.e.o. michael o'leary finally agreed to recognize unions and pay pilots more in return passengers are footing the bill now the ultimate no frills airline has made checking times shorter and even cabin baggage comes at a cost. of portage punishing both joins us now in the studio.
10:14 am
looks a bit close ryan as number you just heard the report number two behind those tons and europe right now that how that. year but one thing always sticks out that the put that pilots this stuff don't seem to be happy that no they are not and we have heard in the last twenty four hours that the irish pilots union has more demands from ryan air they want systems for different systems for face locations so that's basically where the pilots as opposed to living and also in terms of promotion the way people are promoted within the company they want more transparency so with basal locations basically ryan air has a mandatory people have to move the pilots have to move to where they are flying from the exact going to tells them where to live exactly and that's sort of a problem because people don't always want to move and some people want to move but they don't know who gets to move so they want they want more transparency about
10:15 am
that and how that works obviously and of course moving affects families so it's a big deal if rania doesn't respond by may twenty fourth and there might be a strike in island. as you said there might be another strike one of the other challenges facing ryanair arayan is facing this year with the strikes like we said are a huge challenge they had that last year and that might be on them going. issue for an air the other issue they are facing of course possibly rising oil costs ryanair has hedged ninety percent of its fuel. as for twenty eighteen meaning that they don't have to worry too much for this year but if costs for fuel do rise that means ryanair will be spending more on that so that's something that might be an issue and they did say that also in the air full year results release and then at some stage breaks it will combine a c.e.o. michael o'leary has been a consistent critic for for several years actually. why is that one how will it
10:16 am
impact ryanair who of course he has been a critic because he knows that rania might actually lose out as a result they may have to pay fees when landing in the u.k. they don't have to do that because of course the u.k. is part of the e.u. and that means they don't need to pay any fees for that but that will change as of march next year with gregg's it unless of course some sort of agreement takes that into consideration the other problem is with the ownership of ryan air there's a wriggle regulation within the e.u. that stipulates that more than fifty percent the majority of e.u. based airlines should be zero and by e.u. nationals with ryan air when you factor out u.k. nationals that goes down to forty percent so that's sort of going to be an issue because that's going to be against irregular asians of course what happens when that happens we cannot say at this point it hasn't happened yet so it would break that we might find out you might see if we will for here very much. thank you.
10:17 am
it's to southern mexico now where a group of people known as much shares are born with male bodies but take on feminine roles as they grow older now they don't identify as men or women and they don't describe themselves as transgender either in one area shares are said to have been around for centuries yet as you see in our next report today they're facing a number of challenges. and. both people born with male bodies but. at home they often take on traditional female roles but they're not viewed as women either share often confused as transgender but their identity is unique to the region as it is for the more in other communities move said to be less accepted and more discriminated against and it's
10:18 am
said that this region is the new shed paradise when it really isn't there's a lot of discrimination and violence it's still necessary to work hard to change the way people treat us. it was yesterday for. the iron inseparable part of the zappa tech culture life here revolves around family social events and keeping the men company despite their long history mexican law doesn't yet recognize them. in society generally except the new chef say there's still much progress to be made . from a very early age we identify with our feminine side we dress up as women at ten twelve thirteen years of age but we can no longer access secondary school dressed as women so we leave school and devote ourselves to informal trades such as embroideries stylists six workers and cooks. there's a kind of
10:19 am
a glass ceiling over our heads with society won't allow us to advance it all. every year the new sheriff from all over the region to celebrate their identity and the festival of candles they wear traditional dress and dance to compete for the title of festival queen. hacker is an example for the rest of mexico except tolerance of gender diversity may still be a lot of work to do but for the people here the existence of a third. it's a way of life. now for years mozambique was ravaged by civil war and preserving nature was understandably not a top priority but the country's rich in natural resources and boasts breathtaking national parks then hit a national park for example in the country's south is on too extensive wetlands and
10:20 am
wildlife delegation of german scientists is now working with local partners to help protect those natural treasures and make it more attractive for international tourists. ranges of the bahai national hog taking a group of scientists from germany on safari. it's a huge grassland park with wetland areas that are paradise. seven thousand square kilometers the park is a home for countless pelicans. for which the park is best known the ostrich there the only ostrich is in mozambique. the group has found something else of interest is not biggie this is an elephant corridor. where the elephants pass through the area they leave their dung behind. these days the park
10:21 am
has no large animals of its own lions buffaloes and rhinos would driven away first by the civil war then by poachers or by going or form it's not that poachers need food that's not a problem right now people have enough to eat. they set these traps because they want to make money. so the park has been a protected area for more than forty years there are stiff penalties for coaches but illegal killing of animals remains a problem it disrupts the ecosystem in the reserve ranges document their findings and remove the carcasses. while driving to some of the villages situated inside the park it becomes clear there are other problems these a sacks of charcoal made illegally from wood and confiscated by the ranges. i was crushed the minute dutch doctors cut down the trees and destroyed the natural habitat the animals are forced to flee end up entering the residential areas which
10:22 am
leads to new problems the animals' habitat is being destroyed. there are twenty villages in and around the park home to nearly six thousand people many residents can't understand the need for such strict conservation laws. so how can the national park foster better relations with local residents that's the question that interests the great from germany together with the ranges they want to convey the message that the park is keen to support local residents one man's lights the example of another park nearby one shekel feat one at the end of each year the park gives twenty percent of its income to the local community they can then use the money to buy something for the benefit of the entire village. that would be a good model here too and help local people to see tourism as an opportunity to earn money visitors from abroad would also get
10:23 am
a taste of the traditional lifestyle of people living in the park. this family profited from the german group and enjoyed the encounter to ok nothing out of place a living out of it ok. but it's all early days yet. it's a drop in the ocean obviously we're not yet teaching people how to preserve their environment i. volunteer as a committed to a long term partnership with the national park and the local community they want to know what other activities could interest visitors like wading through wetlands. it's just what we need to preserve this to attract tourists. we'd like to offer something that other reserves don't have so that people say if we want to see that we need to go to buy you know just so for them get a bit. but a nighttime safari is one idea the park specializes in small animals here it's not
