6:09 pm
delegates that i have spoken to would not agree with that statement the ones that i've spoken to say it's not religion itself that is the problem it is the way that some politicians or some groups abuse or misuse religion for their means so they would say they would they would that's their own subjective opinion but they would say that it has nothing to do with faith itself it's about how some people use it for example yesterday i met. shia iraqi woman who under the saddam regime suffered greatly because of her faith had to spend over a decade in prison because of her religious belief and even after this experience she said she says you know i i understand it wasn't because of the the sunni tradition that this happened to me but because it was a political mean mean to a particular a particular and of course that's their own subjective opinion others might disagree with that but that this idea of religion being abused by people to justify
6:10 pm
violence was is an overarching theme here at the assembly and was emphasized by the president's address this morning who said you know we must all be to the delegates we must all be united in our believe that religion should never be used as a justification of violence that no war should ever be waged in the name of religion i'm quoting the president of course now one of the other big issues of this year is the gender of course is how to protect place of worship the time when attacks on these places be on the increase and we'll take a look at the record then we'll speak more in a moment. disbelief in christ church new zealand. it's march 29000 and a white supremacist has just shot dead 51 people in consecutive attacks at a mosque and an islamic center in the city. what is especially horrific many of the victims were killed or injured while praying the mosque

6:13 pm
more protection he said that this is a kind of he sees this as a commitment from the united nations to take this issue seriously but perhaps a little bit away from the talks that happen on the level of senior leaders at the conference you're seeing a host of workshops as well as what is called peace consultations that really take. really approach head on places where religion is the cause of conflict and they bring together religious leaders young and old from places like bangladesh and myanmar to try to resolve the crisis and to discuss the terms of the possible return of the refugees to their home another piece consultation will tackle the issue of the koreas bringing senior religious leaders from north and south korea to try to take steps towards a nuclear free korean peninsula. and i'm bishops if nothing else abraham.

but thank you. 2 weeks in the german states of saxony and the polls in 2 closely watched elections but of particular interest because the far right. poised to become the strongest party of a shot during the stop wished to see you and the. the f.t. campaign has been given extra appeal because of coal the last major wealth produce in this economically weak region. of sascha the f.t. wants to keep coal fired power plants in operation while the c.p.u. and s.p.d. have decided they have to go with thousands of people employed in the coal industry in the f.t.'s position is popular in the region. it's half past 3 and stephan kubicki is under pressure he needs to order a crane. and it's me again what kind of grain do any kind of wine was it
6:15 pm
again what. works in a coal fired power plant in the eastern german region of loose a chef. lately he's been managing his election campaign qubits key wants to represent the far right alternative for germany party or a f.t. in brandenburg state parliament. seen years ago i never would have thought that i would get into politics so to speak and where there are some volatile i could have gone a fishing grid on or taken my dog for a walk i could have had a lot easier it's tough to be in the a.f.d. . hostile to you on your point of but the f.d.a. is popular here germany's phase out of coal fired power plants has many people here worried and the a.f.d. backs coal power which is practically the region's only source of income the party
6:16 pm
thrives on frustration with germany's mainstream parties or. whatever they've done for the last 30 years they make most people sick people don't believe in all the promises being made again just before the election. and. after the collapse of communist east germany many people moved to the west sense then the center left social democrats have governed the state of brandenburg. but since the emergence of the a.f.d. many voters deny climate change and use fear mongering to stir up than a phobia this party that's been tied to the nao nazis could become the most powerful force in the former east only a few people here are willing to comment on the rise in popularity. i was on where they want to go. we won't know until they're empowered. and then it may be
6:17 pm
too late but it is mostly. a f.t. candidate stephan kubicki who could lure s.p.d. voters to his camp dismisses concerns that his far right party is too extremist. when george says issue of what they have something in the f.t. became unacceptable out fast but i don't think that's an issue about adobe commish you mean a far right trend yes that's always the assumption that there isn't one it's well informed and yet some of these own friends and family criticized him when he joined the f.t. . my family was divided some other relatives were really surprised and some were horrified they said man you're a decent guy how can you join the effort. even so other parties have been losing ground to the a.f.d.
6:18 pm
but not the environmentalist greens they've won supporters on the issue of the climate crisis and say they don't know why eastern germans vote for the far right. people are doing well and that's why they're willing to do ridiculous experiments we have 3 percent unemployment and our district is at the top compared with others . but when it comes to the f.d.a. they act crazy and take risks. with us he. has nothing to offer and they don't contribute to solving any problems at all he said they just make vulgar complaints about their discontent. hearkens this evening another drawn out complaint. a.f.d. party leader alexander gallons made an announcement he thrives on polarizing community stuff and also knows how to score points with this crowd. the
6:19 pm
funniest question was what do i think of the climate activist great to turn back i was taken aback so i answered i drive a v.a. with 388 horsepower do i still have to answer this question. but the party chief gets even more applause added i'm going to ladies and gentlemen if the f.d.a. governs brandenburg we will portray our borders again. when. we're not even dear friends even if that means things get ugly many voters say gellman's unvarnished frankness compliments steffen kubicki is more amiable style i have this here for history a bit skewed talks so much like ordinary people other politicians use more of a parliamentary language but he talks like the workers in the power plant and of
6:20 pm
course people really like it. the f.d.a. can do what it wants in eastern germany at least it's set to become the party of the people. there is no secret that city dwellers often flock to park so green spaces for a bit of a mood boost but how happy does being outdoors make us researchers in the united states are hoping the power of social media can provide an answer. life can be hard in the concrete jungle and increasingly research is revealing that greenery and open spaces can have a big impact on how urban dwellers feel but how to show that spending time in a park makes you happier in their new study researchers from the university of vermont in the us turn to a popular social media platform twitter and an online tool called a heat anomic or which has been used to analyze billions of tweets the 2 ranks common words typed into the short electronic messages on
6:21 pm
a scale from one to 9 and assigns them a score words like happy and flowers score high while words like crash and jail scored low the researchers focused on almost 5000 twitter users in san francisco who publicly identify their location the scientists geotagged and analyze tweets from when and where the user spent time the he nominee then spat out a score on those tweets and the scientists analyze changes and sentiment before during and after the twitter users time in green spaces their results show tweet happiness wars rose dramatically for the users and parks in fact they were equivalent to scores only otherwise averaged across the social media platform on one day a year christmas. has vast numbers of people moved to urban centers and the number of city dwellers who suffer from mental health disorders grow sharply proof that green spaces can make you feel like it's christmas could have major implications for both city planning and public health. or less i would have
6:22 pm
a reports that lead author he is out and schwarzer joins us from the university of vermont welcome to day w. what is the folly of this research. yeah i think the main this research is for public health and urban planning more and more people are living in cities every year and mental health crises are on the rise across the across the planet really at this time with more people in cities it's important to prioritize these green spaces and understand which kinds of green spaces provide the greatest mental health benefits and does your research do that does your research help us to understand the difference between a poc and the botanical garden and a field where we compared where specific kinds of parts in san francisco so the main 2 parts that we want out are the regional parts where it's these large green spaces with a variety of vegetation types different amenities with neighborhood parks and then
6:23 pm
finally civic closets and squares and we found the parks that had more nature or larger a number greener had a larger impact on people's mood but many people would look at this and say this is obvious people who go outside and spend time in pods in nature at tend to derive some benefit one wonders how you have added to the sum total of human knowledge. yeah what i would say to that is we've got 1st of all we've quantified this benefit and compared to some. that people can understand this idea that people are happiest it on twitter on the day of christmas and the benefit of going to parts of similar to that what we've also found is in this in this i didn't make the old. people often wonder are people just happier because they're off work or because they're outside but we found that that was above and beyond just being offered an outside when people went to the greener spaces the parks that had more trees that
6:24 pm
had more vegetation so i'd say that was our contribution to the study to this area and you didn't for your bravery of getting richer interruption but you do seem to be sort of overselling the research you're telling you're saying that going to a big green park is the equivalent of having a happy christmas it's not it's just a hop correct so i would say that the christmas thing is really just put the numbers in context because this is the happiest day of your on sweater the boost on our scale. is equivalent to the same boost twitter experience as a whole in christmas it's not just a can touch realize the impact did it change in the words people use when they visit parks good talking to thank you for joining us out of schwarz. sports will start with football manchester united have called on social media companies to do more after midfielder paul pogba suffered racial abuse on line
