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. i was i want to be on the i want to be in a position to change. my clothes been doing that as an elected local for the last four years. she's now i have 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 goes 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 the very women's issues if you're fighting such basic grassroots politics if you want 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 road 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 hope political rise to hard work and passion it's 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 muss 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 appealed for votes. temperatures of already soared to more than thirty five degrees but there's no way. it's 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. got stung by a lobbyist anger funk when i was pregnant i started looking at every illness how do you get them the course of each disease there were worst case scenarios and how effective vaccines are and what negative side effects the vaccines have. and then have it from a head up and then i weighed the risks and benefits. and i'm just not that afraid of many illnesses for fear. 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 all 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 your claim has seen up close. yet how. come. you 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. to those in the know that 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 facts unaided 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 followings 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. specialist i wouldn't like that and i 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 vaccinated 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
