my father has stopped talking to me he doesn't support me things that i'm against islam i'm against my own country and big change my country but i think the. they're all happening just because you know the governor really brainwashed. people like my father otherwise my father knocks 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 corruption i became a call of then again because i criticized the president of iran it was just a week before the controversial election 2009 my car got the one that lies in iran and 2 of my journalistic car was on there my vehicle real so that was a message for me that you know it's going to happen to use so i decided to just you
1:36 pm

1:37 pm
called it a one person demonstration because they never have. permission to take this. they will be shot they really 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 movements so i created another campaign called the many hitch all. the government all want to control the society because they know that this generation is not going to keep silent they found social media as an alternative when young chicks freston souls to be loud and to break the censorship that is what the social media itself is a is a threat for islamic republic of iran so they try to block that because they see
1:38 pm
this is the main battleground and they don't want to lose control. i have so many change that the biggest one is one day while many are wrong have the power to run the country. my dream is just seen. as. sports is another activity that gender roles in muslim communities make it difficult for women to fully participate in yet playing basketball or football can be deeply liberating. not only is it healthy and physically strengthening the
1:39 pm
sport can also help build self-confidence. and. how to really packs a punch and that's what saves her from all sorts of unwanted male attention. here. in the streets of cairo sexual harassment is a common experience. back 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 if pastor but on the streets they're never afraid. and 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 out in the world. and these women do wear headscarves even while training but it causes some frustration and for competitions they like to take off
1:40 pm
the job although this bothers a lot of men. and i'm sure to get a good job limits me and gets in the way it makes it harder for me to breathe 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. and it's not as 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 we have 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 to bear the phylum shortage of the stuff. but this is all those muscles look
1:41 pm
disgusting in my fashion assume no i feel ill when i see all of that. by a whore it is emotional. not yet. honeyed 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 in eyebrows split it. at home she never received much direct support and that hurt even though she understood her parents' sensitivities. my parents have never seen me
1:42 pm
they never attended the championships only my siblings came back and my mother was even too afraid to watch videos of the matches and she only ever wanted to know if i had one of the top $100.00. has also earned numerous gold medals to the delight of her nephews her biggest fans they also want to become boxers like they're on but the road there is long while law has been fighting in the ring for 7 years and that. her mother is proud of her youngest child and of her powerful punch. i also learned that my boxing is actually self-defense but 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. why la and holly are can do more than just box they're also quite capable cooks and that's at least one stereotype
1:43 pm
they fulfill but while law is in no hurry to get married she says finding the right partners even trickier in her case. one family lawyers 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 the horses and i have to be close. living life with a sense of confidence that 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 the 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

1:51 pm
back then we cut about $200.00 kilos. now a new part is planned along with the 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. as they want to know whether the coastal war 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. put on gone once the fishermen to be part of the decision making. the covered market where they sell their catch is nearby. here too
1:52 pm
it's impossible to overlook the city's plight the market was only built 5 years ago but huge cracks are already showing. buildings in some parts of jakarta are sinking into the ground at the rate of up to $25.00 centimeters a year. 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 ground water are used by the new high rises springing up across the. that needs more regulation cess pool and gun.
