a. welcome . it's good to have you with us it's been 100 days since hong kong's summer of protests began back in june organizers claimed more than a 1000000 people marched on the streets to protest an extradition bill that would have allowed suspects to be sent to the chinese mainland for trial the bill has since been withdrawn but the protests continue pictures like these now in the chinese city. at the heart of the protesters demands is their wish for greater democracy and over the past few weeks one song has expressed their demands lyrically it's what some have labeled hong kong's protest anthem old glory to hong

a he was the the it was the. was. it was. was the it was. on the chinese mainland violent incidents of vandalism by hong kong protestors have received blanket coverage here's what a few beijing residents had to say about the protests. if the violence continues we shouldn't let it become more chaotic because look at countries that war right now like iraq and iran they used to be wealthy countries and now they've become a mess the poor can even eat poor children reduced to skin and bones it's best if

there's no chaos right. to know. about. the violence in hong kong is having a very bad effect on the whole world i think it's strange that it's dragged on for so long on the i think i should restore order as soon as possible before. they can use a feed on the just come in and of course i don't support the hong kong protests i mean what they're doing isn't rational. they're damaging a city that took so long to build. the last generation took great pains to build it you see but this generation of hong kong people are criminals and they could be influenced by foreign interference right now if you will. and there's more background of analysis on the protests in hong kong on our website and the you tube page. is

a rape a rape only when the victim fights back in other words if the victim freezes up during an attack will this be considered rape legally in japan it might not a recent ruling illustrates the point a man has been allowed to walk free despite it being proven that he sexually assaulted his teenage daughter the reason for his acquittal it was unclear if the girl was court incapable of resisting an appeal against the verdict has since been filed but it has generated protests with activists taking to the streets demanding a change in outdated rape laws this is the modern century old laws place the burden of conviction 100 fictive in fact the prosecution needs to prove there was overwhelming force or threat or that the victim was completely incapacitated.

so why does the law continue to remain so in japan for more and doing much else is and ishida associate professor at university in tokyo josie glad to have you on the program now japan has this very petitions of being one of the safest countries in the world yet it seems to have this law this reply all that is seemingly against rape victims how does that happen. well japan's 1st great laws were created 197-1007 were very clearly products of a patriarchal legal and social system at the time that conceived of victims not of rape not as individual women but as women's fathers and husbands it took a century to revise these laws the plainly in 2017 the law was replies to this revised law does include a broader definition of what constitutes rape does not require that the dems actually press charges themselves against the offender but the reforms from 27000 remain incomplete what really has come under attack in particular is the condition

that victims actually demonstrate physical resistance that they fight back as it were for a sexual assault to be considered rape that bespeak leaves the onus on the victims to prove that they tried to physically resist so that they can get a conviction how are women dealing with. well in addition to the way the law is written law enforcement also has has not been well trained about how to deal with sexual violence against women so while japan as you mentioned in many senses in places it's relatively safe there are many loopholes and a lack of understanding it does create a dangerous environment for women regarding sexual violence so there have been a series of protests to raise awareness and there's also another petition submitted to the justice ministry that demands further revisions and that any sex

without consent be regarded as rape what really is the appetite i would see in japan for change i mean the way you describe it japan still songs and very much a people though perhaps not as bad as opposed maybe a century but is there really an appetite for change. well i do get a sense there's an appetite for change especially when you see demonstrations on the streets you also see activists not just women but activists law lawyers as well as human rights activists demanding some kind of change but the question is whether those in power which are overwhelmingly male will listen to them so let's hope that the justice ministry response to these new challenges right we'll have to leave it there for the time being jo season associate professor. yamagata university in tokyo thank you so much for joining us thank you so much

thank you now these behind me with a set of braces just over you had to go off in just a report overturned a colonial law that had criminalized gay sex the bad have once inspired great you know india's gay community it was used to prep them intimidate even blackmail them for some by their own families now normal at least legally it's a major milestone off of a decades long legal battle but activist for equal rights and social acceptance for in g.b. to people in india remains elusive yet that all signs of a shift bollywood films with good characters rest falls and cafe's to getting themselves gay friendly and same sex couples hope in time their unions will be no big deal. no walk out in the open just one small pleasure that makes their years of struggle worth it. vivek and vishwa can finally

just be themselves he used to be different. i was 8 when you were drinking. and their relationship was still a crime when they got married in 2017. they faced discrimination from all sides even from their families live experience were so furious they physically assaulted the couple that. i knew. they had been exerting my age. so there was a fear of them trying to use. us being together as evidence against. him because it's to be good for him in the existing. in a sexual relationship so that was a trick to us to make it more dramatic but until the ruling last year that gave them the legal right to express their love it's cramped to one and

a half century old laws that criminalize the same sex relationships sparking hopes of equality. came out there was this same as do all you know these board a long way short lived those were led kind of like suddenly lifted off for the lead all in all i reviewed being mean genuinely or this would not happen in our lifetimes at least i felt that maybe to the 15 years that's a slap in the face for those who are against gay people including vick's parents. i have if you did so so. why do you sound defeated if you know did you not have 18 or did you know. so there's been a little bit nothing but great so you. vishwa is a bit luckier. his mother has shown more understanding despite the
