saudi arabia has issued a series of decrees granting women more freedoms including the right to apply for a passport and travel abroad without permission from a so-called male guardian under the kingdom's guardianship system adult women are considered legal minors and require the consent of a male relative for life decisions the loosening of the rules is being viewed as a step forward for women's rights though many restrictions still remain. last year women were granted the right to drive soon they will be able to fly wherever they want the government's newest push to modernize the once so rigid patriarchal society is being met with enthusiasm. and so happy with these decisions because as a saudi woman it will make it easier for me to do my job and travel from one place to another and follow up my exhibitions as an artist on an equal footing with men.

while happy about the new law many women still fear they will be bound by family ties but out of fear and the man not our culture and upbringing will prevent us from travelling without our guardians approval even if it is our rights and today this decision will help develop saudi women and boost them in saudi society. despite these changes we're headed by saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin solomon critics say the reforms are at best cosmetic and gender equality remains a distant goal leading women's rights activists remain imprisoned and saudi arabia features consistently in freedom house's list of the worst countries in the world when it comes to human rights abuses. are rights in soccer news now and the new bundesliga season is almost upon us here in germany as by an munich endorsement

face off in the season opening super cup today dortmund are in high spirits after a promising campaign last season they've added firepower to their squad with the signings of union funds mats hummels and target star one just think of glory is of course the target now but 1st they'll be aiming to get off to a strong start with a victory over byron in the super cup. all right joining me now to. to go through this super cup clash is yannick fate these 4th hello to you yannick so give us a prediction what are you expecting from this clash yes so this is the season opener it will be a very interesting match that's the sure there is silverware on offer but there's even a lot more as well it's not just about who will lift the trophy it's also about the season ahead because dortmund and boy in are total rivals they're expected to go toe to toe for the bundesliga toddle and so this game will let us say who's looking

strong who perhaps has an edge over their opponent and who could end up on top at the end of the season so there's a lot to take from this game and the winner will definitely take the trophy home but also a lot of volatile momentum leading into the new season all right and i was talk about 1st let's talk 1st about dortmund how are they looking at the season yeah as we just heard they're looking quite strong have made some great signings last season they surprised a lot of people with how strong they were on the loose in the coach and here we see julian brandt match formals and talk and they've also added nicole shoots and those 4 players have not only bolstered what is already a potent attack it's already also addressed issues in defense that they had last season one was in particular a fantastic 4 signing he comes from by and he's still a very good player and boinc would regret letting him go so don't look in very settled and very ready going into this new season all right so some big names at dortmund looking at byron we can't really say the same about them they're not even done finalizing their squad are they yeah exactly it's looking

a little bit bill shaky on let's say they do some very early business bringing in benjamin and lucas and as as well as a youngster young feet up but they are trying to get near us and they over the line the try to sign him for man city and that would be a huge signing and a big boost to their total chances but at the moment it is a little bit uncertain the coach nico coach would be well within his rights to be a little bit frustrated how business is going but they did win the double last season they're very. very strong same and i think they're still favorites to win the 8th straight total in the world was all right so 2 strong teams and yet what do you think is going to happen in this game in this match as a one off i think dortmund being at home being more soldier in the preseason they look definitely the team to go in as favorites to win this game and that could well give them the momentum and the belief that they desperately need to take this top off on board obviously still a favorite of the bundesliga tardo but don't win this match you never know they
