camels are called the ships of the bears but what exactly makes them indispensable to the ecosystem let's find out. often known as the ship of the desert camels have a unique set of genetic features that allows them to adapt to the harshest ecosystems. not only are the extremely important to desert ecosystems they also are indispensable to human settlements in the wild. so what makes camels invaluable to the desert. firstly the role they play in the habitat as camels often drink brackish water in the salty plants they help spread salt in nutrients over the landscape through their fecal processes. they're also agents of sea dispersal after spending some time traversing a camel's digestive system seeds of certain desert plans like acacia cave in and

prosecutors have a better chance of germinating further away from their pound plant this aids the spread of shrubbery. moreover because camels consume plants not targeted by other grazers including several harsh pest weeds they help eliminate flora which may halt scrub growth or be fatal to other desert wildlife. as herbivores their presence in the ecosystem also means more food for predators and scavengers. but also human life in the desert would be unimaginable without the camel. domesticated over 3500 years ago camels have traditionally been a means of transporting goods with 2 chose and leathery pads under their hooves camels are able to move without sinking into sand at speeds of up to 60 kilometers per hour desert civilisations rely on camels for their meat milk and fur camel milk doesn't curdle and has a higher content of vitamin c.

2:42 pm
was difficult to find a safe place to go. there were men around so it was uncomfortable for me. i used to wait for them to leave so that i could deficit in the open. up. more people in india relieve themselves outdoors than in any other country that's because of the lack of toilets and sanitary facilities politicians have repeatedly promised to improve the situation but much still has to be done. public awareness is at least on the rise thanks also in part to bin dishwasher patek his ngo co financed a toilet museum in delhi here visitors learn for example that long ago things in india used to be better people what do you think twilight meant by fun in india for power than 500 years ago from toby and people are going in opposite the 19th

2:44 pm
meanwhile back in the damned poor. the villages say that they're all looking forward to getting toilets of their own. if they build a toilet for me also it will be a great comfort especially for my children we have a huge problem without a toilet my daughter will feel secure and safe snakes and scorpion bites are quite common while difficult thing out in the open. and in the future these children will find it quite natural to have a restroom of their own. now it's often the women who end up having to be the biggest price for even basic rights take for example the right to choose and practice a livelihood the ferocity of the need to movement in india will tell you the problems women face or to work use a wide and deep our reporters spent a day with a budding journalist in our group to find out how she's standing tall and
2:45 pm
attempting to break the glass ceiling. curing or put in the time and saloon upon the works for the television news channel. she's one of the few female t.v. reporters in the conservative city of 1500000 people. after graduating with a diploma in journalism suddenly struggled to find. one t.v. station refused to hire her another said she could anchor but not work in the field so lonely refused to give up despite the challenges. that. i the men i come across in my work police officers in reporters say things like come and have tea with me spend time with me meet me after work i'll drop you home some of them are really forceful it makes me uncomfortable and scared. i block these men's numbers on my phone. because i want to be a reporter not because i want to spend time with men. and yeah
2:46 pm
they men had. a guy today she's interviewing a group of men in the park she wants to get their views on women empowerment and gender relations at a time when india's me too movement rages on twitter many female journalists in india's big cities have alleged sexual harassment by senior editors and colleagues news of those allegations has also put her down to aga the man your apps truong views about it. oh yes you know these women who are speaking out want oppressed or subjugated the professionally qualified women why did they stay silent for so long and why have they suddenly found the energy to start screaming me to. the leaders of i don't think men are capable of how to sing women the way it's betrayed in the me too movement the women making these allegations are just seeking publicity they want to be famous you know i get asked about them where for salumi to have a cement on the job is very real but she says she can't speak only of men the money
2:47 pm
is there is a thing i can't afford to make enemies of the man who had me what's the point of making a complaint if it's police officers themselves had a single who do i complain to and who can i complain to about senior reporters. would. only have covered up it's a question that the loonies. dismisses rico hans started news $24.00 a year ago he says his company has a 0 tolerance policy but he still hasn't set up a complaints committee as mandated by india's workplace laws against sexual harassment the decision to hire a female reporter at this channel is rare in our group but john's reasons have little to do with the quality of the big bags and only a few 1000000 enough looks to matter the was want to see a female reporter if they want to see her she told how she supports their tractor but. nowadays you see that everywhere even if you go to a shop you see that women are pointed at the field counters or the checkout it's a way to attract customers for us to having
2:48 pm
a female reporter is about increasing our viewership and our ratings. for families and small towns like our there's an easy way to deal with the me to accounts stay at home in this conservative neighborhood few women work outside their homes so long as parents come from a village in north india with ghosts are not allowed to wear jeans on phones laugh loudly or even speak with voice saloni has fought hard to get away she now has big dreams saloni wants to get out of our ground and join a national t.v. network in delhi to get better training and work experience. is every part of our city is safe for women a social entrepreneur india is trying to match exactly that but i wish her luck is using the data generated through safety audits to indicate to governments n.g.o.s corporations and even common citizens how safe amoeba herd is and how many poorly lit and on safe spots it has that's why i doubt how.
2:49 pm
much captured every 50 metres of water a city looks like from a female perspective what kind of cities are we building what kind of cities do we want. i think violence against women and sexual harassment today is clearly a global problem. in india added that i mentioned probably in the male dominated nature of public spaces. crime rates are high in india as in the cities and women and girls are especially vulnerable fears for their personal safety mean women sometimes avoid going to walk or steer to want to come to. see if tipping is a person safety up looking to change that because those details such as images of delhi streets at night that show for example if they are busy or empty well it
2:50 pm
served by public transport and so on. my vision is to improve the access and the rights of women and girls to access all opportunities in games around the world and technology from me is an enabler in that so safe haven is a technology which helps to collect data that allows both women and girls to move more freely in the city at the same time it provides data to keep open stakeholders such as city governments to make the changes. a long time inside activist called when i was for not was motivated in part by the 2012 deadly can leap that took place in advance and in part simply by maternal. in delhi we actually use that data to show the government that they were about 7800 dark spots in the city right that with pop patches of the
2:51 pm
city were absolutely no light. no used by the city authorities said to bill hughes expanding it seems to include public toilets and bus stops but cities such as delhi change all the time i have been plans don't always have the time. and money to factor in the safety of gross and women. intrapreneur has developed. my safety pin which is partly based on councils to turn safety pin night sticks pictures of the city from 3 groups on safety pin track. users friends and family to that location so one thing is that we are very aware data can be misused so we for example in our tracking feature we are very clear that only a woman asked someone to track so nobody can take a decision to track someone and so we're very careful that we don't want to become
2:52 pm
a stalking up. my motivation my desire is to say that the world changes. safety is changing the world for women and it's been used to improve safety alongside the tracks and in hanoi to strengthen sustainable public transport i've been planning by women for women that support civil cities. now more of the women role models are beginning to be celebrated by society but this is only a recent development a board game designed by a polish of the kernel is trying to fortify those efforts even more designed for all ages and genders the game in 1st the players about strong women and the ideas they strove for let's look at what went into creating this. bestselling author j.k. rowling artist frida kahlo and tennis star serena williams in the game. they share
2:53 pm
the board with 25 other extraordinary women these include famous i'm not so well known personalities from the past and the present. polish design is because they came up with the idea. with the help of a small team she's been producing the game at her workshop in warsaw since 2018. so inspire little girls and show them that they can do anything they want with real stories of real women from all the time. it's a game for to play is by asking questions each tries to guess which woman their opponent has chosen the 1st player to guess correctly when this you ask questions about everything about any information that's going to find on the board so about their accomplishments about their life about where they come from about anything
2:54 pm
that you can see there you can ask about their looks so there are something. she considered the biographies of some $400.00 women when designing her game she wanted the final selection to include a variety of cultures eras and occupations. the watercolor portraits were painted but. the polish artist found it challenging to make the women look realistic not idealized and yes immediately recognizable. it's not just the way depending will look but also the expression the woman will have because some of them are smiling some of them show their teeth some are like in more. serious pose so just deciding which one should look how which one should look very friendly. john harder to approach for example so that was part of like deciding on how exactly the playing. the 1st version of who is
2:55 pm
she is in english. but because they ask us we have is already working on french portuguese and spanish versions. along with the board made of birch is also a cheaper cardboard one the designer dreams of making her game available to as many children as possible and not just girls i think that it's important for boys as well to see women as the hearings as well because if they don't see them as weak as equal if if boys don't see girls as equal in the in the competition and never ever it won't work. because they're scared she believes the more strong female role models girls have the more they'll try to emulate them who's she is her attempt to show girls that they can do anything. exposing children and young adults to women drool models well luckily the if all goes to dream big but also
