the chinese military is stationed at the sports center in shenzhen up until a few weeks ago the soldiers of the national people's army were training in the stadium there but beijing knows that it's still going to need hong kong as a financial center for years to come. here. hong kong is a trusted address for international companies and is the center of technology hong kong is the gate to the outside world while shenzhen is important inland shortly before 8 in the morning people from shenzhen head over to hong kong some days there are as many as 670000 commuters they'll be there in half an hour where according to chinese state propaganda chaos and terror reign no one wants to talk about hong kong's fate especially not to the mistrusted foreign media but many parents send their children to hong kong because the schools are better there.

1:38 pm
humanity. mr young came to shenzhen with the hope of a better life now his world is being swallowed up by china's great appetite for wealth. according to the world health organization the global population includes around 1000000000 people with disabilities millions of them rely on wheelchairs. in industrialized nations 95 percent of people who need a wheelchair have one in emerging nations the figure is less than 10 percent. that prevents them from fully participating in every day life in 28600000 children with disabilities in south africa didn't go to school that will reduce their chances of finding gainful employment when they're older and increase the likelihood that they'll face discrimination.

when the sun rises over cape town south africa people are already hard at work in a nearby suburb that shown a quick company makes we all chance and many of the people who work here also wheelchair uses for the owner shown in mcdonald's inclusion is very important. good morning for our year. everybody ok well. she developed original wheelchair model in 1982. i started building. equipment for my daughter. who was born with severe disabilities and there was absolutely nothing available for her i was given a cardboard seat in a baby pram and i thought this was not going to work for us shona mcdonald wanted her daughter shelley to be mobile and to be able to take part in daily life she
1:40 pm
developed her 1st wheelchair for children a few weeks after her daughter was born. over the years she's turned it into a business that employs dozens of people each wheelchair is individually fitted. just like you would never go and buy a large set of false teeth or. you would never just buy a wheelchair it has to be prescribed for you you have to assist prescribe fitted and followed up regularly because if you don't get the right type of real chip you can develop serious life threatening secondary health complications which which make the whole point of having a wheelchair invalid. the tires on her models are especially robust that makes it easier to use them on an even ground. i remember writing a like a little thank you card to the engineer who would help to the welding and building
1:41 pm
this chair for me and i drew on the front cover. shelly's face but with wings and i sit in a card this is not just wheels this is the rings she's going to fly and i think that was for me something that that's really been an underlying passion i want to see kids who are i want them to succeed and achieve a dream. she spends a lot of time on the road visiting families organizations and facilities promoting inclusion for people with disabilities is her calling today she's going to a small town in the western cape. limits home to a residential facility for children with physical and developmental disabilities. many of these children have special needs that their families couldn't provide for at home. all shown equipped has a dedicated team that provides advice and training to these facilities. says
1:42 pm
they have to look at mobility barriers we have to look at social barriers at educating communities at giving parents places of support but also tools for empowerment of knowing their rights to ask questions to medical professionals of knowing the rights of the children to be included. in the stretching and gentle exercises for the carers is also part of the routine that work is very strenuous. physiotherapist provide training on how to assist the children. if you're not sitting correctly you can choke and aspirate and that causes pneumonia and secondary health problems so the more we can improve every day seating of the child the better their long term health isn't a bit of a function is in the happier they are. by some estimates
1:43 pm
a 1000000 children in south africa have a disability. their happiness inclusion and wellbeing as shown in mcdonald's life was. i don't know about ever really achieve what i dream of as. the ideal solution but what i really determined to do is to shift people's perceptions an understanding of disability. from poverty and pity and charity. and exclusion to one of welcoming inclusive. shona mcdonald has received numerous awards for her work and has become known as an inclusion advocate around the world. for more stories of women who are taking their lives into their own hands standing up for

you can see. when i found the tortoise babies after they were hatched i was really happy they were waving their legs i was so happy that we had towards this baby. and the tortoise babies live at the anchor center for conservation of biodiversity or a.c.c. be in northwestern cambodia. as a caretaker here and starts work at 7 every morning with a quick walk to make sure that everything's in order. $79.00 elongated tortoises hatched here 3 months ago today they're going to be weighed and measured. and pretty well. going well and i got.
1:48 pm
so struck with. the tool box contains nail polish in all colors of the rainbow the caretakers paint the shells of the young tortoises to help identify where in the conservation center they're being kept the tortoises live in special enclosures that are open to the sky but with nets to help prevent them from predators. that's essential to their survival not long ago elongated tortoises were upgraded to critically endangered on the international union for conservation of nature red list. mischa meyerhoff is the a c c b s director he came here from germany more than 5 years ago to work on animal conservation projects especially ones involving birds and turtles. there are about $360.00 different species of turtle including the land tortoises what many people
1:49 pm
don't realize is that when the next red list is published about 60 percent of all turtles worldwide will be listed as threatened endangered or critically endangered there's a world wide turtle crisis right now and cambodia and asia in general are no exception . the long gated tortoises are rarely sold in local markets anymore only one of the 14 turtle species in cambodia is not endangered turtles are eaten in cambodia and used in traditional medicine live turtles are also sold as pets. in cambodia turtles and tortoises are believed to bring good fortune releasing one year a temple is believed to bring along life just. birds are believed to carry away any bad karma catching animals and selling them so they can be released is a big business even though it's illegal. by madonna and when we have turtles he had no longer bourses food that bought to be released at temples or in lakes and
1:50 pm
jungles otherwise they would end up in cooking pots the small ones of his soup while the big ones of his steam cooking. come. to total sell here for the equivalent of $5.00. what's supposed to bring long life for believers usually spells death for the animals after they're released. but a lucky few turtles and tortoises end up with a c c b like this one it was also released at a temple. or look at this carving inside of this you know something that people grab something when they give it to them and. then you're worried. that. there's no reason it should close on and this is a giant asian pond turtle in this case
1:51 pm
a relatively large male and we've received 5 of these i think over the past 5 years and it's listed as vulnerable on the red list we don't see them very often in markets here in cambodia and that's usually a sign that a species has become relatively rare in size and is that we hardly ever get one as big as this. that we have possibly. the team is about to operate on the turtle it has an injury inside its shell for the moment the animal gets a painkiller. the next day mao and her colleague prepare food for the animals 600 turtles and tortoises live here all of them from endangered species breeding them in captivity has proven difficult but the elongated tortoise is appear to need just fresh air and food the rest they can manage for themselves. when i started here 5 and
1:52 pm
a half years ago we had about 20 elongation tortoises thanks to our breeding program we now have 330 at a c.c.p. that's not a bad start. so far a c c b hasn't been able to release any elongated tortoises into the wild it's too dangerous the animals would be captured again in short order. that's why michelle meyerhoff is hoping to bring the elongated tortoise here this woodland this home to the last 5 large siamese rosewood trees in all of southeast asia one tree can fetch more than 100000 euros. this patch of forest is under guard which could also offer protection to the tortoises. we'd like to release the animals that are sexually mature into the wild the ones that are 5 or 6 years old will probably spend the next few years carrying out research to answer various questions for example about their use of habitats then we hope to
1:53 pm
launch a pilot project with 20 or 30 tortoises that will tag with the transmitter and release into the wild so. for now though the tortoises still need the shelter of the conservation center and they need mao who is tending to them. they like to come in even in camp they spy we put food even in camp. plenty if they like to play a. big man have a lot to scratch here but the mayor than because the mayor is on the top that. perhaps this tortoise will be among the 1st released so that one day soon a new generation of the long gated tortoises will be born in the wild. in the shell with our visits to a global living room this time in ecuador are. just.
