running for office. it's early morning in whistling gold's not the district politics here is a festival. it's dominated by the ruling t.m.c. alternate world congress spotty. and the start of the show here is the party's. she quit her prestigious job as president of j.p. morgan in london in two thousand and eight. return to india and plunged into politics fulfilling a long held dream. when i was a kid if you asked me what i wanted to become i never said that. i was i want to be on the i want to be in a position to change. my thrones been doing that as an elected local for the last four years. she's now i am a seat in the national parliament there's little doubt about who's in charge here she's angry about the change in the route the former investment banker is

a rest site in indian politics still largely a boys' club she draws curious crowds mainly women in these rural parts but the forty two year old who's also a national spokesperson for her party dismisses any questions about her gender and politics. as a politician i don't think. i think very few women's issues if you're fighting such basic grassroots politics if you've got a bad road it's a bad road that a woman walks on that it's a bad road that up a man walks on so i don't think that i can make a law that only women will walk on so i think most issues here are issues that are generic for everybody you know poverty infrastructure drinking water. through attributes hopefully to can rise to hard work and passion it's a part she believes is open to any woman willing to take. her own party the t.m.c. is heavily promoting women candidates the push has come from the very top. it's the

highest number in this election but that doesn't mask the fact that india has one of the world's lowest rates of female lawmakers in parliament at just eleven percent. back on the campaign trail drunk makes a quick stop to meet voters she's treated like a rock star. but she has little time she plans to cover hundreds of polling stations in the next days. that means many more options like this one every handshake and car and appeal for votes. temperatures of already soared to more than thirty five degrees but there's no way. is calling it a day any time soon was. when it comes to immunizing children parents. in germany take a more critical view than those in most other countries now the government is considering imposing measures that will make measles vaccinations compulsory.

five year old marine has not been vaccinated her mother is against it she's afraid vaccines will damage her daughter or compromised her health. yeah it stands for no obvious i'm referring to when i was pregnant i started looking at every illness how you get them the course of each disease the worst case scenarios and how effective vaccines are and what negative side effects the vaccines have. and then how much from it and then i weighed the risks and benefits. it was i'm just not that afraid of many illnesses or fear and. she's not afraid of measles either even though it's one of the most dangerous childhood illnesses in germany it kills one in a thousand patients while studies find complications arising from the vaccine are rare many parents mistrust the science they fear the vaccine more than the disease

. that something pediatrician here claim has seen up close. yet how. many people don't know about these diseases anymore. there's a lot of misinformation on the internet especially regarding the measles vaccine which is very controversial right now is going to the internet is the german federal center for health education says not enough children or adults are being immunized. that can be dangerous newborns for instance are too young to be vaccinated they rely on what's called herd immunity that is when at least ninety five percent of the population is that city that viruses cannot spread. germany has yet to reach that level of immunity that's why some politicians and doctors are now calling for mandatory vaccinations for preschool children twelve other e.u.

countries have already introduced compulsory vaccination measures. the global. don't believe that criminal law would apply but fines could be imposed people could also be prohibited from visiting community facilities. that would mean that unvaccinated children would not be allowed to go to preschool jennifer says that wouldn't persuade her. expression of this i wouldn't like that most certainly would not like to be forced to do anything by the state and i would want to do it of my own accord having received so much information that i'd say. yes that's a great idea. jennifer says if she must she would go to court over it her daughter will not be that's in egypt any time soon. since the beginning of the syrian conflict the government of bashar al assad has had the backing of russia to celebrate its military victories the putin regime has

sent a train full of war trophies on tour. next stop the city of cars on arriving at ten in the morning the train is greeted with plenty of pomp the twenty cars carry ahmed tanks and other military tech seized by the russian army and its campaign to defeat the so-called islamic state in syria. even i-s. labs for the alleged production of chemical weapons are on display it's a victory lap three sixty cities to inspire pride and patriotism at russia's achievements what's not to celebrate. russia must see this train to avoid the horrors that unfortunately a fact of life in other parts of the world russian should understand the role of the country in fighting terrorism around the world. selfies are

allowed and visitors are encouraged to ask about the spoils of war on board the so-called syria train according to the defense ministry all the soldiers on hand took part in the fighting. for the past three years moscow has been helping the syrian army to fight this and keep president bashar al assad in power. our boys are helping the poor syrians. so much so. what's russia doing in syria. well it's some kind of assistance for the country. with assistance of that it can have what's it called again peace that's it . guys are youth should see the tools of war so they know that war is terrible. absent from view other russians who didn't make it back from syria the defense

ministry says one hundred sixteen soldiers were killed in combat but it's not just ordinary troops who are deployed there human rights activists say private armies from russia are also fighting mercenaries who don't appear in any official figures . it's a big gray zone and no one knows the exact number of private soldiers fighting in syria many of them tie that binds. after cars on the syrian train is off to another city on its tour but as a symbol of a successful campaign against terrorism it leaves many questions unanswered.
