japanese villagers training the. iconic. it's good to have you with us we begin in northern india where many farmers have a beef with stray cows the reason they're eating their crops by estimates which are themselves seven years old india has some five point two million stray cause i'm getting to hindu sensitivities prime minister narendra modi's hindu nationalists b.g.p. party has offered greater protection than before this means their same for meat and hyde has been severely restricted the result. and free foraging cause.

trouble to the state of. chad plum joined her is no stranger to the hardships of farming in india. but he's now confronting a new menace which has been causing havoc across the rural economy. streakers there we see there becoming. charred tom says the animals have gobbled up his crops twice causing huge financial loss. so seeds in lay down fertiliser the one the crops grow the cattle destroying a look at all our hard work time and money goes down the drain there's a big garden many farmers have been forced to patrol their fields and trees away the animals with little success. i chased the cattle off my field

but the neighboring farmer will do the same and they'll come back here i'll run after them again if this goes on all day every ten minutes. others are trying to keep a constant vigil over the crops should be because god says wheat fields from straight from six thirty in the morning until dusk at night his younger brother takes over. the cattle come at night sometimes entire herds of them someone has to be here all night to you with a stick and a torch. frustration is boiling over among farmers here recently they took matters into their own hands they rounded up around eighty stray cows and locked them up here in this public school to protect their fields only to have the police come and free them a few hours later. the predation alone is estimated to have more than one million street cattle. two years ago the state's hindu nationalist government imposed.

banning slaughter and to protect the many hindus consider holy but it's had the opposite effect. this is a big problem across the countryside here. tough restrictions on the cattle trade mean that villagers can no longer sell the old unproductive cows for me to offer hides villagers here say many farmers are forced to abandon their leading to a spike in the population. the government has pledged funds to districts to deal with the problem and set up temporary shelters to take in strays. but the facilities like this one in the nearby town of illiquid. there's little hope of things changing. the government has built this shelter but you can see for yourself there's no one to maintain it every two weeks or so at least one count is here the government's doing nothing. that doesn't surprise political scientists.

he says protection is largely a symbolic issue for the hindu nationalist. movement historically has been protection of the cause. and embodiment to an incarnation. and the nation it's never a. sound. economic policy so it's not so much about protecting the. killing each as he's taking no more chances he's now securing this field with. the prices of sword because of high demand. the hope is that peace will keep stray calls out at least until the harvest next month. now to the international outrage over a disturbing video out of indonesia's rest up one province it shows police reaping

a life sneak around the neck of a vest up one man during an interrogation he was being questioned about stolen wife holmes and police but apparently trying to force a confession officers ahead threatening to put the stop on the man's mouth and. in the recent police have since apologized and promised to take disciplinary action a police spokesman for the regions of the incident was being investigated by internal affairs it described the interrogation as unprofessional and inhuman but he also noted that the snake wasn't poisonous and officers had refrained from beating the man. but on a common is a human rights lawyer in the region speaking to a social media team she said the video was indicative of a pattern of rights abuses by police i think this is just the tip off the iceberg and this snake. using snake s. torture methods it's not new in our west papuan when david us first are so faced

so many of my own west papuan friends who have been are in and out of jail for political reasons said that although they have long known net snakes being in the news by police and in an issue mitri and. just last months are one of my clients he sent pro independence activists he was arrested and what after he was arrested he was put in a sal with the snake in the cell and then he was beaten slapped kicked and her his head was pushed towards the snake to force him to act with that he had stolen what about this is threshing motivated because given the context of the prosecution as well the discrimination and now and from the video are all of what the police were saying in that video how they mocked that pop one man this past three years our police have been massa arresting westpark once like the more

significant number two thousand in two thousand and sixteen alone there were five thousand and three hundred something arrest i thing there even just apology already rare you see i say it's totally i would be very surprised i mean i mean it's good if police give some punishment to give some sense of justice other reactions also point to human rights abuses in west papuan where there is now a growing movement for an independence referendum this from joseph benedict a researcher with civic freedom want to turn. this incident he says highlights once again the ongoing climate of impunity and the failure of president to hold the perpetrator strong count. and this from award winning australian journalist peter crowe no indication security using snakes for torture and twenty one thousand of the napalm in the seventy's draws my version since the eighty's aids in the
