previous round of talks stalled last month. this week on world stories. protests against moscow's waste. homosexuality in the us and the stonewall riots but we begin on the greek island of some of those conditions in the refugee camp there are catastrophic many locals don't like the refugees but some greek citizens are there to help. every day at noon maria macro yami waits for guests and they arrive on time refugees from the nearby camp on the island of sam most list time it's 2 young men from somalia. maria has prepared past with chicken she hosts refugees in her apartment every day

. when i see refugees i offer them something to eat i've always done this. to refugees on some most call her mama maria. the pensioner not only offers them a warm meal but also canned food and clothing. the melody maker for. the little boy. so that limbo bolivia for. the ball well sometimes 5 to you cannot sometimes you're going to go thought put something up 3 years ago maria and her husband my colleagues were honored for their willingness to help back then they owned a tavern at the beach where refugees could get a free meal. it was a place where people from all over the world who had lost their homes could feel welcomed. but then maria's lease was terminated

a shock that caused her to have 2 strokes. all of them they're only going to get pushed back then all i did was think of the refugees after getting up i would start cooking. today the sentiment has changed and is directed against the refugees locals don't see any solution. 5000 refugees now live ensembles which has a population of just 30000 the camp is over filled and many people have to sleep outside in tents. some have been waiting for years for their asylum requests to be processed local aid organizations say europe finally needs to take care of these people were not allowed to enter the camp but we made mohammad again and he uses his phone to film inside children are playing next to rats in indescribable hygenic conditions. there is only one doctor for 5000 people here.

comes from jungle. the regime is. when it comes. and often it's very nice sometimes we don't have an ally sometimes we don't have any but our . life at the port of our 3 has changed to. germany has sent a coast guard ship for support but that has hardly helped. many greeks feel europe has forgotten them they're appalled that some e.u. states are refusing to take in any refugees at all. other countries should open their borders in order for these people to move on or the traffickers who brought them here should take them somewhere else. these people are stuck here that doesn't work you know we want our lives to be the way they were before like very much going to put a bit of money going to go we could be living conditions in the refugee camps on the greek islands are getting worse by the day and at the same time and he refugee

sentiment is on the rise people like mama maria who refuse to accept that are becoming more and more isolated. 15 years ago new york city's gay community rose up to demonstrate for gay rights a police raid at a bar on the now iconic christopher street had sparked protests one of the activists from day one remembers. these new york streets are witness to history and where gay pride began 50 years ago christopher street was the scene of riots known as the stonewall uprising which placed the l g b t movement on a global stage back then the stonewall in was a haven for people who didn't identify with the heterosexual norms of the day here they could hang out drink dance simply be themselves but not without risks being gay could result in prison or heavy fines violence and harassment were common

college a remembers them well she was 22 at the time and kept her gay identity secret fearful of the consequences like many lesbians of my generation i compartmentalize my life i had to hide my identity in college and now i was hiding my identity at work because i could be fired for being a lesbian under the law homosexuality was illegal i already knew there really was nothing wrong with me but for me the question was how are we going to get society to change seen thousands join her in protesting for gay rights in boulder and her. as a founding member of the game liberation front she helped organize the 1st ever gay pride marches from there her role as an activist was assured using her new found voice to become an author and i call off the movement changing millions of lives we

have made without the amazing progress we were going to fight for incremental change and hope that some. heterosexual society would allow us to work or allow us to go to school it seemed to me that we need to force this change our message to the world you don't need a word group of people to create change you just need the will and the courage to do it while the many tourists this gay rights memorial represents a moment in history the other l.g. t.v. from the stonewall inn is a reminder of the struggle that continues today. in the north of russia residents and activists are fighting to stop the opening of a new garbage landfill from faraway moscow not long ago nobody would have dared to raise their voices but that's changed.

human shields against diggers these activists have created a chance city and she's a town in northwestern russia authorities told them construction on a new garbage dump would stop but the arrival of a new excavator has spurred protesters back into action. to see if we want to give up on she swill die if we have to but that you're right. this is our land we won't give it up. and whenever the security forces keep an eye on things but they don't get involved and in the end the digger driver gives up. she's has achieved prominence far greater than its modest train station would suggest last year local authorities struck a deal with moscow to dispose of garbage from the capital. construction began a what would be one of europe's biggest landfills but residents wouldn't put up

with it. private security personnel were brought in to discourage the activists but to no avail. instead more people joined the protest at the moment about 100 of them live in this encampment next to the site. the builders have also set up a tent they call it an information center stocked with colorful brochures full of promises that moscow's rubbish will be recycled the activists don't believe a word of it. and they get us to this will be difficult they say that recycling plant will be built here and we have experience with this that is going to bury the rubbish in a 30 kilometer long trench and you can install a new. alexy ghani chev is part of a group that plants trees exactly where the construction crew cut down existing trees. we're not just fighting for our region. people from other regions portis. we want to solve this problem all over the country not just here. or since there

are new with the program the landfills financial backers say the possible environmental impact on the area is being looked at but environmental activists don't trust them. unfortunately for protesters the local rail operator has announced it will stop train services to she sed by june 25th activists will have to find another way to join the fight against moscow's dirty habits. india's capital delhi is considered one of the most dangerous places on earth for women now the government is trying to make the city safer by making public transport free for women. getting ready for

a day of work and ronnie dunn bucky owns a living as a cook an inmate in a private home in central data she has to ensure she leaves her own home on time every morning just. to commute involves a 10 minute walk. navigating traffic. in order to catch a bus she only just makes it today. it's not an easy ride. the bus is absolutely packed there's no air conditioning despite the blistering summer heat. granny is lucky today she actually gets a seat. she spends the equivalent of about $15.00 to $17.00 u.s. dollars a month on the tickets it's a hefty sum for her. but ruddy says the worst part of a daily 45 minute commute is facing rampant had a cement and believe. me yet here you face so much sexual

harassment men deliberately press up against you the shameless often you don't get a sate male passengers occupying the sates reserved for women they refused to budge you have to fight to get it then there are pickpockets there are just so many hassles but i have no choice i have to get to work. but there may actually be a choice for women like rani in future the delhi government says it plans to make all publicly funded buses as well as the metro free for women. delhi's metro network is often hailed as a game changer in the city's bid to expand public transport. it's a far cry from the bumpy buses on the city streets. there's even a dedicated compartment for women. it's widely considered the safest mode of transport. but tickets on cheap following fare hikes last year authorities

say women now make up just 30 percent of metro commuters that could change if the free rides become a reality for women like ronnie free public transport could be empowering ronnie's convinced that free rides will definitely get more women like her out of the home adding to an enhanced sense of safety in numbers. and gemini lives d.w. at any time any place using news video yeah i look like a bit of pop songs to sing along to you it is to come back from super late. for those interactive exercises. everything is online
