a look at the situation in just one country out of many that are rapidly industrializing cambodia produces many of the clothes that people buy in the developed world but the drive to make goods at the lowest possible price can mean harsh exploitation. these women are singing about peace work starvation wages and fainting from exhaustion they're textile workers at a labor union event even though in recent years the minimum wage has increased to about $160.00 euros per month it's barely enough to live on in cambodia but many. labor protection laws are often not enforced 2 hours overtime is officially allowed but 4 hours is practically standard most women workers only have temporary work contracts they constantly worry about losing their job the companies keep them powerless. face masks and other protective gear are now standard in nearly half of
1:03 pm
companies here some clothing brands pay external consultants to inform women of their rights but higher wages and more social benefits put textile companies under pressure. the major brands buying agency compare prices worldwide they work contracts for the countries that charge the lowest price that's how. i cannot say if that's right or wrong. international labor organization saying that despite the progress that's been made cambodia is still one of the 10 worst countries in the world for workers. well let's talk more about this story with marty aloose vega she's a cord nater of the aisle 0 future of work initiative and she joins us from geneva where the conference is taking place right now thank you so much for joining us we just heard an example saw an example of how workers are being exploited how big of a problem is this and what is being done to address it. well we have been doing for
1:04 pm
over the ascent to the many things to address these problems because it's like i say this is a ghost and you know we're like we are we have i can put this up so yes it's not we have i think that they fit in with it but it means not their lives at all which actually implementing what if in countries but also with the general discussion and with the commission about normative action the idea hospitals. to really implement new loaves and complete the work that's because our main. purpose and what main aim . to provide what he nearly being in the shins then are. in fact giving the needy to workers ok dignity to work as the key there and your organization as you're saying is doing a lot to address the problem but how is it still that 100 years after the ilo was founded we're still seeing such large numbers of people working under such difficult conditions sometimes amounting to forced labor. this is the question that
1:05 pm
would have if we have been revising and we are thinking these days i would have been thinking for the last 5 years what is possible then even though we have a lot of progress we've made progress in terms of economic development also in terms of technology the logical and bands the politics is still there many countries that 99 survive and so that the economy and we are trying to see what is possible and i think is part of it polices national policies and also in part of they need to read to try to look for new solutions to new ideas and to really much more slowly than the among nations and also. in monk people in general let's say we need to increase these values we need to restart the sense of these values to really rebuild their lives what these these social contract and he said they already also all of i wouldn't well as their money list i want to ask you
1:06 pm
because you mentioned that technological change and another big issue is how technology is changing the workplace before we talk about it let's take a look at some recent developments. these could be the eyes of the future intelligent robots that work independently capable of undertaking inspections of things like cables and wiring. and in future drones like this could be the solution when it comes to checking and repairing high up hard to reach parts of buildings this one is even able to drill if needed. scientists at the institute for robotics and intelligent systems at the swiss federal institute of technology in zurich are developing robots with the potential to transform work as we know it some are aimed at taking on arduous tasks in the construction sector. mentioned. to be far more intensely
1:07 pm
involved in farming for example today we have such things as holidays machines help make us more efficient to give us more leisure time. but unions say that's not necessarily a cause for celebration it is a. technology is everywhere right now and that's why the processes of change is so rapid at the moment some people might be unsettled by that but generally i'm optimistic that there will be enough work the question is whether it will be properly paid will it be properly regulated so that our working lives will also remain satisfying. new technologies can often new opportunities but regulation will be key to ensure humankind doesn't get left behind. so much looking at that report there you know if we're seeing more automation and technology we're placing a lot of the jobs that we see in the current workplace while governments have to guarantee jobs and guarantee income in the future what will work look like in the
1:08 pm
future. that we're we're not sure how the world will look but we're sure these should be still human work is changing but the humans should be command and this is important this debate was told many years ago centuries ago when they were handing out scalp in the humans now are the machines and the machine should be a service the human being how we can ensure the war i think the concept before money is not anymore to concept and we know like 40 years ago or 50 years ago we have to give that in sense they are all that i leave that need to be well see other people still want to war because it's much more. mean it's a need for a humanist gratian but what we need to be sure is everyone everyone has the sense of conditions are right not even what make up quite mater of the ilo future of work an initiative will have to leave it there thank you so much for sharing your insights with us and thank you very much. now botswana's high court has
1:09 pm

council. let's bring in our correspondent covering this story for us. who is in hong kong so there's a 2nd reading of this bill tomorrow and we're hearing that there's plans for more protests any indication of how big these protests are going to be. so me i don't think we will see the same numbers as on sunday but that's not a surprise people had a long time to prepare for sunday's demonstration this is now a week day but we hear many voices in this city who say we need to continue protests have also be energized by this number of people who joined on sunday people suddenly so we are we are so many we are more than we even thought so i i expect that there will be quite a turn or tomorrow much as some of those voices you mentioned have been prominent business leaders in hong kong there warning leaders to be cautious about the spell out what they said and how significant is their voice. now
1:11 pm
that was one of the biggest surprises the business community is usually government friendly in the run up to these 2 this law there were some business associations those who were pillars of off the government who already voiced their concerns the government has reacted to this and has taken a few white collar crimes like tax evasion out of this bill excluded them from extradition mond some of the business associations were content some were not but also other pro establishment organizations like the legal professions have voiced their concerns so this bill is really that the government is really going on confrontation with a big part of hong kong society and not just the usual suspects of the democratic camp and yet despite this very vocal opposition that he has hong kong leader kerry
1:12 pm
land seems to remain pretty defiant that this bill should go through right. yes she said thank you for voicing your opinion i think we need to push this through she. stuck a little bit a considerate sorry tone but she's determined to do so we can maybe hear what she said. and the bill will resume his reading 2nd reading to date on the trial of june and we have killed so members about it estate council and various organizations and groups in society so will continue or tool in participating in the discussion in a calm rational and peaceful manner. so much as has that appeal from carrie land made any difference i don't think so she's really at the focus of these protests she is seeing us as the person behind it and one of the. loudest. voices in this sunday protests one
1:13 pm
of the demands was that she step down she's closely aligned with this bill maybe she can also not withdraw it now without losing her own personal standing within her community within the people that back her including beijing so she pushes through with this party that is my chest building a reporting for us from hong kong thank you so much. not some other stories making headlines around the world amazon has moved past high tech titans apple and google to become the world's most valuable brand the value of the e-commerce giant's brand surged by 52 percent to 3 $115000000000.00 according to market research agency can tar that leads apple in 2nd place in last year's top brand google and their. canada is set to ban single use plastic starting in 2021 prime minister justin trudeau declared the initiative a global challenge to phase out of the plastic bags straws and cutlery clogging the
