it will be because the i have serious problems on a personal level and i was unable to live there wasn't going to. want to know their story in former group sure afford to employ local information for more friends. welcome to global street thousands this week we're off to jakarta could the indonesian capital soon be underwater. strengths in the ring and out of it women in egypt have discovered the power of boxing. and we meet online activist massy elina jets and hear about her campaign that

allows ordinary women to experience a little freedom. women in iran are expected to cover their heads in public and if they want to apply for a passport or travel abroad they need male permission and wives have little chance of obtaining a divorce nonetheless women have been campaigning for equal rights in their country since the turn of the millennium. social media has given the movement to boost it's used by more than half of the iranian population and women in particular are discovering there really is strength in numbers regardless of where they are in the world. it's a punishable crime which are beyond veiled in public according to the laws sharia laws in iran you get lashes you get jailed and fined but more important than this you won't be allowed to get an education from the age of 7 if

you take off your headscarf you won't be allowed to get a job you won't be allowed to live in your own country. my campaign was born from a simple picture. it was a picture of me ronnie in a beauty food street in london it was a spring may the trees were full of blossoms and i wrote a caption on my picture that every time one iran in a free country and i feel the wind through my hair it just reminds me of the time when my hair was like a hostage in the hands of the reigning government. i

ask women whether they want to share their pictures with me so the moment of freedom with me. i was bombarded by pictures from women inside iran. so i created my stealthy freedom page on facebook bush now has more than a 1000000 followers on instagram and more than a 1000000 followers and it's all about freedom it's all about dignity it's all about. which is close to. what i get homesick. the only thing that makes me feel home and happy is just going to nature climbing the tree going to mount our walking the c.s.i. just reminds me of home. thank.

our kitchen in the village are designed for women it's shorter because women are shorter than men so. i remember i used to say to my brother i know this is short for you but there is a chair said down and washed the dishes so that shows that i started my feminist movements my feminist revolution from my kitchen that is important for women we have to start. being a rubble. in our house. my mother never had the chance to go to school university never she's not even able to read and write but to me she's the true feminist. my father he stopped talking to me he doesn't support me the things that i'm

against islam i mean against my own country and betraying my country but i think these are all happening just because you know the governor really brainwashed like people like my father otherwise my father loves me. when i was a student i got kicked out from high school just because of my opinion and then i became a journalist part of entry journalist i got kicked out from the m.p.'s just because i exposed the crush and i became a call of ms then again because i criticized the president of iran it was just a week before the controversial election 2009 my car got the wind the lies in iran and 2 of my journalistic car was on there might be. so there was a message for me that you know it's going to happen to you so i decided to just you know it leave the country 2.

i launched my selfie freedom but after 3 years it was everywhere so like the president of iran knew about it talked about it with all the media around the war the media inside iran the rainless they t.v. clerics and i thought oh my god now this is the time we have to shift the online movement to something offline these people need to identify each other so in 2017 i decided to actually you know pick and they pick a color and help these people to identify each other in public. these women in white ones they say they are the only soldiers only warrior i called it one person the inspiration because they never have the permission to take this.

they will be shot they will be you know into prison they will be torture but they are brave they found a way to protest against oppression. this is the time men should get involved in women's movement so i created another campaign called the many in. the government all want to control the society because they know that this generation is not going to keep silent found social media as an alternative media to express themselves to be loud and to break the censors. that is what the social media itself is a is a threat for islamic republic of iran so they try to block it because they see this is the main battleground and they don't want to lose control.

i have still many bad the biggest one is one day while many are wrong have the power to run the country. my dream is just seen. as that. sports is another activity that gender roles in muslim communities make difficult for women to fully participate in yet playing basketball or football can be deeply liberating. not only is it healthy and physically strengthening school it can also help build self-confidence. had to

really packs a punch and that's what saves her from all sorts of unwanted male attention. here on the streets of cairo sexual harassment is a common experience. back to her training partner while law is just as fierce she's egypt's heavyweight boxing champion. outside the ring the 2 boxers usually have to dial it down a notch to refrain from striking anyone with full force of pastor but on the streets they're never afraid. i don't want to boast but in fact i'm a heavyweight boxing champion. and that's an honor for my family so i'm the man of the house and also. in the world. these women do wear headscarves even while training but it causes some frustration and for competitions they like to take off the his job although this bothers a lot of men. and i'm sure he got

a good job limits me and gets in the way it makes it harder for me to greet when my hair is uncovered i feel better and perform better for the. women's boxing in egypt is still only a fringe sport but according to the coach there's no shortage of talented women the challenge is finding them and supporting them. in the service though this is only a sport for men there are many women who become world champions and in egypt there's a lot of potential for that along with many strong and talented women. but they don't have it easy in egypt there's deep seated prejudice and many clichés that endure. boxing is a brutal sport i think it's better for women to avoid it it's very difficult for women it's a pair. of the stuff. where this is all those muscles look disgusting

in my fashion no i feel ill when i see all of that. whore it is them of us of. not you abdel-hamid has had to contend with stereotypes like those for years but that hasn't stopped her quite the contrary she became world champion in 2008 and today she coaches egypt's national team the men's team it should be noted. she's have a sensational career but it hasn't all been easy. i thought it was very hard for my family to accept this but they said how can you do something like this you could break your nose blood get spilled an eyebrow split it. at home she never received much direct support and that hurt. even though she understood her parents' sensitivities. but. my parents have never seen me they never attended the championships only my siblings came back and my mother was

even too afraid to watch videos of the matches she only ever wanted to know if i had one. has also earned numerous gold medals to the delight of her nephews her biggest fans they also want to become boxers like their aunt but the road there is long while law has been fighting in the ring for 7 years and that much. her mother is proud of her youngest child and of her powerful punch. i also learned that my boxing is actually self-defense that she's had to defend herself so many times i remember how she beat up 3 boys at school who harassed her with one of them had attacked her with a pencil and almost killed her now with it. and how leader can do more than just box they're also quite capable cooks and that's at least one stereotype they fulfill but while law is in no hurry to get married she says finding the right

partner is even trickier in her case. one for him tend not to like it when a girl is stronger than they are. that's why i would like to find someone who understands me and also practices the sport and loves it i have to be close. living life with a sense of confidence that's something that these young women demonstrate every day they're fortunate to have the support of their families and they can't imagine a life without boxing. and i might have had in the us have been my boxing friends are the most important thing to me any way other people wake up in the morning and go to work and i go to the gym it's my life. by doing what they love these female boxers are also fighting for women's rights in the arab world and for the right of everyone to follow his or her own path with no holds barred.

it is. ok to treat. today's global scene comes from madagascar. dump it is known that my name is the only 210 tiana and i just turned 15. because some. americans are 10 people live in my house among them are my sister and brother we live in temple of their. to.

some of. my best friend makes me happy her name is christopher we talk about everything and we laugh a lot together going to church also makes me happy. yes . if you dispute that climate change is taking its toll on our planet and in the not too distant future 8 major cities could be underwater bangkok lagos manila shanghai london houston and the one sinking at the fastest rate jakarta parts of the indonesian capital have already dropped 4 meters the reason why using

sea levels for one but that's not the only culprit local residents are steadily depleting the ground water supply below the city that basically creates an air pocket into which the earth above it sinks attempts to curtail this development have proven difficult because almost half of g. cartons rely on groundwater for their day to day needs. our reporter michelle that still went to jakarta to find out more. it's been a while since anyone prayed in this mosque. at the scene has long since claimed to it. it makes little time pulling gun set every time he sees the building. thinking this city is

increasing. in last few years and if. you can be begun people say their prayers here before they cannot do it. anymore. the indonesian capital of jakarta is home to over 30000000 people it's one of the most densely populated cities in the world and it tests a problem. the stretch isn't obvious here in the heart of the city but it's severe . in the north's home to many fishing communities there's no ignoring the rising sea water this brick wall was built into silence and then 2 in the more borrowed district as protection against flooding the seawall is continuously being reinforced and braced but that doesn't help after a spell of heavy rainfall the want to begin sparring over again carter sinking.

on what is being extra very much and we lost our. sufferance and the soil is become thinking we have here and then come along in this. impact doubling. of the city because it's already below. rising sea levels and sinking soil the city needs more long term solutions. put on gun use to be an environmental activist to come paint for the rights of fisherman nowadays see advises the governor of to carter and this part of a team working to stop the city from disappearing into the ground he's well aware that any sing he plans would have an impact on fishing. there are

some 22000 fisherman in jakarta. that these people harvest green mussels from the bait a local speciality they're cooked right on the beach. 4 years ago the city or sorry to use began building a chain of artificial islands off the north and coast to slow down then subsequence . it's had a serious impact on deck access. how many kilos do you catch a day about 50 kilos. and what about before the islands were built. back then we've got about 200 kilos. now in

newport and splined along with a break wall that's actually in the sea 50 metres off shore the fishermen are worried they soon won't be able to catch anything at all. they've learnt to live with regular flooding but the new coastal wall would mean the end of their livelihoods. and they want to know whether the coastal wall will disturb our access to the sea i say that even if it has benefits for the community the development plan has to be discussed with the affected community as a. pool of gun once the fisherman to be part of the decision making. the covered market where they sell their catch is nearby. here too it's impossible to overlook the city's plight the market was only built 5 years ago

but huge cracks are already showing. the buildings in some parts of jakarta are sinking into the ground at the rate of up to $25.00 centimeters a here. this major fountain in the heart of jakarta belies the fact that clean water isn't desperately short supply half the capital's population draws its water from illegal wells and vast amounts of groundwater are used by the new high rises springing up across the. that needs more regulations on. their. life and. this city is searching for ways to conserve the precious resource.

preventing groundwater levels from further declining is essential otherwise jakarta will sink even faster and flooding will pose an even bigger threat. waste as another problem in the monsoon season especially trash clocks and canals so waterways can't drain into the sea. these days an army of about 12000 trash collectors work around the clock betting the garbage emergency. a number of components or settlements have already been evacuated and torn down in the name of flood protection. the company of tom cole was slated for demolition in 2015 the hearts were directly on the river and the inhabitants were supposed to be evicted and then they took matters into their own hands they've torn down parts of their

homes themselves removing sections on the water satch 3 years ago we caught our house and before we cleaning it for activities and before we planned. it that was our flower and anything here this. is not really prefer. the result is a striving peaceful community and to residents who take pride in keeping the neighborhood trash we. and there's now a riverside walkway that's a comfortable distance from the water. the community also has the support of a team of architects who developed a sustainable model home for tom cole it's made of stone and would rather than plastic and sheet metal 7 families live here. this is war house like the generals among them are google more or met his wife and their 2 children.

ben before and i have window this is important because. in the past i don't have. pinning their hopes on sustainable living solutions change well i'm not saying the . result is not important but i think the process. is the more important social responsibility sustainable water management the people often call have shown what's possible the community has become a model of clean and green living now the neighborhood enjoys state support. hopes the or are starting to understand that when it comes to ensuring the city's survival the urban poor. are part of the solution not the problem.
