a colombian family in southern bogota houses ten venezuelan migrants they eat breakfast together on a quiet sunday morning. these people are among the two hundred thousand migrants who have come to the city in recent years since the city council provides few shelters the migrants only choice is to rent shared rooms with two or three other people most of the holy muggy lassalle and we sleep here in the living room and it's a little uncomfortable sometimes since we need privacy but other than that it's good or landlady nogueira lives on the houses upper floor the colombian national decided to rent her rooms to venezuelan migrants in part to earn some extra cash. was moved by their situation the quality of life they had in that moment they had no place to sleep as some people would not rent to them or me and. she tries to create a comfortable atmosphere with plenty of space to talk and laugh with her tenants

and she even goes a step further. to me more may sometimes they call me their mom so i scold them when they do things wrong or when they don't go to work or pay the utilities i'm looking out for them. despite strict rules for cleanliness and order there's also sympathy for the migrants tough financial situation especially when bills are due. sometimes we're late with payment so we simply tell her to look mrs know such and such is happening i don't have the full amount give me a few days and i will pay you and she understands. andras montana is above the times real estate association explains how landlords are making money housing venezuelan's in rundown buildings. where many property owners have made a business out of renting or receiving payments making people pay a daily fee to spend a single night in a tenement. the so-called pug ideology owes or

pain daley's only offer a bed tenants have no guarantees and risk getting kicked out it any moment nineteen year old luis works as a barber he barely earns enough each day to pay for his pocket. to me this is like something for prisoners three bunk beds that mean six people who don't have the privacy you want and you can never leave your valuables here. venezuelan migrants are at the mercy of fate if they don't and counter helpful colombians they risk being exploited and can only hope to someday be able to afford a place they can truly call home. germany has been debating whether to elope public sector health insurance to cover the costs of screening on born children for genetic disorders such as down's syndrome is an emotional issue certain to provoke a lot of response we have this report.

sophia is a year and a half old. an estimated nine out of ten women in germany decide to have abortions when they find out their unborn child has down's syndrome. and a testing was seven months pregnant when she got the diagnosis. of course i was scared i was worried i was also feeling a bit desperate i didn't know what to do i was still in the last year of my studies . but i had a lot of support and courage and because she was so active in my belly so fear also assured me that she wanted to live action should be allowed to live. the weeks that followed were difficult for ana who was also working as a geriatric nurse she read all about down's syndrome which is a genetic disorder in which children are almost always born with physical and intellectual disability the doctor told her child would be born with

a heart defect suddenly and a face the dilemma of whether to have an abortion. callinan hennig a gynecologist counsels women who decide to have an abortion when they get a diagnosis of down syndrome she knows the pressure for all involved. as. there are so many factors to consider how old are my how stable is my relationship to my other children still need a lot of attention hennig says the blood test that detects down syndrome as early as ten weeks of pregnancy gives families time to make difficult decisions early on that's also important to ensure that mother and child are well looked after if the mother decides to have a baby. for an it isn't the issue goes deeper. she says the blood test sends a message that society does not accept children like sophia.

i asked myself why. and if you then don't have to pay for the test these children will simply not exist. even though they're perfectly happy children who radiate joy and have so much love to give. the blood tests for down syndrome are already a standard procedure in denmark and france in those countries few children like sophia are born. in the philippines the island of mindanao was long been the scene of a power struggle between the christian and muslim communities not a filipino army the muslim rebels are joining forces in the bottles like against terrorists. we are on patrol with the largest muslim rabbit group in mindanao the moro islamic liberation front or m.i.l.f. for decades they fought for independence tens of thousands were killed. but since

the self-proclaimed islamic state burst onto the scene in two thousand and seventeen the muslim rebels have joined forces with the philippine army both sides feel threatened by as fighters now laying low. for the muslim minority strongly supports the m.i.l.f. only five percent of filipinos are muslims and almost all live in mindanao their areas are among the poorest in the philippines many here blame the christian majority government for their plight. we visit the military headquarters of the m.i.l.f. the government needs the rabbit support to secure a peace and to fight terror president rodrigue has promised them a far reaching autonomy. the chief of staff isn't in uniform

a sign perhaps of the shift from insurgency to politics the m.i.l.f. has seen defectors joining i as we ask him what might happen if the autonomy project goes badly power could be really did a lot of people really become diminished. by the station. all the followers of the war dorian are there and. will become bigger. he tells us that they will disarm up to thirty thousand fighters but only with full muslim autonomy. if not then. remember we will not do commission our forces and we will not give up our firearms which we promised to the government. this is what both sides are trying to avoid and not the rabi the largest muslim city of the

philippines lies in ruins bombed out after a few hundred s. fighters had occupied mahratti for five months two years ago. more than one thousand people were killed. tens of thousands remain displaced. it was president to territory who ordered the bombing but he's also a strong supporter of muslim autonomy his form of peace adviser tells us. it is a strong signal to the bad guys. around with this country i have been in the peace process under several presidents and we have not far as we have this time. but if the autonomy dr fay it's more disaffected muslims could join radical outfits in addition after the loss of their caliphate in syria and iraq more foreign i guess fighters might also decide that mindanao is the new front.
