t community live in perpetual fear. there are as many different kinds of intimacy there are people every relationship is unique there are men who love women women who love women people who love both men and women and so on. and yet being homosexual bisexual or transgender is highly discriminated against or even outlawed in 70 countries across the world. in 11 countries in africa the arabian peninsula and the middle east homosexuality is even an offense punishable by death. homo sexual acts are commonly defined as obscene or unnatural and often described as sodomy words like that are also used in uganda and some politicians there have called for the introduction of the death penalty. daybreak income paula and for the

activists from freedom and roam uganda it will be another day fighting discrimination against lesbian gay and trans people gloria the programs officer could potentially face imprisonment or even execution the government has plans to reintroduce legislation colloquially called the kill the gays law that would impose the death penalty for same sex relations. looking back at what has changed what has been transpiring leading up to the time when the. public information that's coming from the public. from a lot of intimidations up in. uganda is one of the most homophobic countries on the planet the bill in question was originally passed by its parliament and 2014 before being struck down following protests from international aid donors in this country religion plays a very fundamental that's one thing people don't know because even in the.

formulation. i really did in high regard. and that presents a dilemma for gloria she's a lesbian activist who had a strict christian upbringing her mother's a pastor the church's homophobic stance has always been an issue for her. i still go to it and. some days it's ward other days it's hard for you to sift through or someone where our past is just that. was one of the fun. every weekend all saints cathedral income paula hosts a number of weddings but only between men and women. homosexuality was 1st formally criminalized in uganda after the introduction of christianity.

she was thinking at. the cathedral provost rebecca new gania is opposed to tolerance. if you are a nephew who has grown up in the culture of africa it's something that has always been for a knee to us yeah but also as a child to be nice to who reads this scriptures i also find it difficult to accept it because homosexuality is seen just as like any other scene it is laid just like if i were to install something i have seen and i could not. say well i was stealing because of hungry no. l g b t people continue to be stigmatized by both the church and politicians and are often the victims of violence. where. sex workers like samual are particularly at risk although he's i'm a sewer what most of his customers pay for is sex. samuel receives

clients in his own home. you can tell me where you feel in a positive. even at home he doesn't feel safe saniel has been severely beaten on a number of occasions. that. no one could help me. i had to call my relatives and he had to know who i am. so after. leaving the game i had to leave my things there because the community was not ok. for homosexuals being out it is a daily fear rumors spread fast in the cities densely populated informal settlements and samuel says the number of attacks is on the rise in the gun if you

. use shift every up just some sort of tame if you suspect that they have. just shift so samuel stays on the move and has been disowned by a family his customer has stories to i was moved was my dad. he was like find out when he wanted me to. leave so i started. slipping in the street looking for the new. because i cannot go back to my that's the life we are living in. l. g.b.t. people in uganda are ostracized and often alone. friends in the community they are not arab enough to. samual is afraid the anti-homosexual legislation would further

stoke hostility towards the l g b t community and gloria agrees she continues the fight for more tolerance and continues to help after all the bill has been ruled unconstitutional before hope is the only thing we have cause when you lose hope basically you don't leave any more so even when. things seem impossible. we keep the hope. and now for our global ideas series we take a big leap from africa to the mall. last year the tropical island paradise in the middle of the indian ocean received nearly $1400000.00 visitors new hotels and airports to accommodate them all being built at a cost to both nature and locals a reporter traveled there to reveal a sign of the multi-verse that holidaymakers dempsey.

the big corporations and businesses they're. all this team to win and no matter which government is in power. humans won't stop traveling and recrimination is the only way it will because we're here right now so will there be more coming absolutely over the next 45 years your probably another 6070 years or 3 or. $150.00 leg or started developing at once there is so much of destruction sedimentation that we can which would definitely have a negative impact on. the international airport in the multi vian capital mali provides a gateway for tourists from all over the world they then taken by boat to the resort islands that are just a short distance from the airport that provides

a logistical advantage especially when storms hit. in just 15 minutes the visitors arriving crossroads a mega resort made up of 9 islands a night in one of these bungalows cost 650 euros 2 years ago this was all just water satellite images reveal how the artificial islands suddenly emerged in the middle of the coral reef magoon 2 and a half 1000. trees were brought here from other islands if you didn't know you'd think it all develops naturally those in charge of the project are keen to uphold that illusion it's still a natural island literally came from 10 minutes away from here. ultimately this is how islands are off all the palm trees are from neighboring islands very off because they were developing something on the island say an airstrip or or a construction. the whole issue of artificial islands and repugnant to palm trees

has long called the attention of the anticorruption ngo transparency mal de. under a number of deals reached by the previous government nearly 60. rounding the capital mali we leased to investors they are now building more and more answers official islands for tourists this means the need for palm trees is growing and they are in short supply a small t.v. in law states the trees mustn't be brought in from abroad why are these trees being transported to that resort. where. there are so many islands reclaimed for the purpose of extending. for the people to live and. they don't have any plans any trees. transparency multi-verse says that tourism is given more significance than the

environment the country's environmental protection agency used to assess 2 recent projects before they were approved but the previous government changed that. especially if you're consider the areas closer to the. there are a lot of. i think richard not concentrated making resorts. rather than doing that we should be focusing on. 6 new airports were scheduled to be built this year and next to improve access between the islands the island of call who she was stripped of most of its mangroves to accommodate its their port but most of the time it stands empty as it's not really needed the next airport is just a 20 minute boat ride away activists like adam up to take to twitter to report on the latest building projects they're using the twitter hash tag save multi-verse to

speak out and engage with the authorities. i think it's good here driscoll to beso economy on just the tourism industry alone in order for the proliferation of tourism we're destroying the very thing which our tourism industries best on. these coconut shells have spent 9 months soaking in the mangrove swamp to get them soft enough to gain fibers used for making rope. for $400.00 women on the island of kuta for she is the only source of income one that is now drying up plans are afoot to remove the island's last monk robes to make way for a building project 70 year old eyeshot has spent most of her life making rope 1st come in about 44 the airport was built a community was asked if we wanted to keep the mangroves and everyone said yes one

of. the politicians simply ignored the residents wishes that's a problem people on the island of corrado have been complaining about 15 years now . they're standoff with the authorities concerns this channel of water sand is to be taken from it regularly to preserve the beaches of the resort opposite it's standard practice in the multi-verse residence on the island to gain nothing from the resort but sand is being taken away from them. from transparency multi-verse says the island is shrinking trees along the coast are dying as the beach is steadily eroding she's collecting evidence in a bid to give people here a voice but they're fighting a powerful opponent. the current owner is also connected to the coffee some of the leaders of this country so. if it would really be hard for coburn or

for a committee like this to stand up and fight against it i hope that with the new government come in they would immediately like stop all the. projects go but it's very sad that a lot of this project to. anyone involved in the construct. trade whether on the mole deaves all round where knows how important sand is after all it's an essential component in concrete the worldwide demand for sound has tripled in just 20 years so much so in fact that in some parts of africa and asia usable deposits are already growing scarce up to $15000000000.00 tons of sand a processed every year that's enough to build

a wall 27 meters high and 27 meters thick in circling the entire planet along the equator. cambodia has been a major exporter of sand and that's causing major problems for people living along the mekong river. more dreads the sound of the masonry settling at night the 1st thing she does after getting up is to check if there are any new cracks in the walls. this building used to be her home what's left of a once contented life. when the riverbank broke away i dragged the bed across to the back. i tried to sleep here. but then i saw how the entire garden was gong and the wall had collapsed. then i took everything apart piece by piece. in order to at least selvage something more began to

demolish her home with her own hands. i worked hard my whole life long. now i'm old and alone. i've lost everything. i was afraid that the stone house was too heavy and would sink that's why i had leased rescued the doors windows and tiles. they're now in storage a few meters away for when times get better if they ever do the river is devouring the. village it's changed course and now flows faster the river has carried away entire buildings here the government has placed sandbags along the shore as a makeshift barrier what used to be an asphalt road is no a new waterway these boats are currently empty and riding high in the water on the return trip they're heavily laden with endless tons of sand

a fisherman shows us the dredges extracting it from the riverbed locals don't know who they belong to. the many congress changed it didn't used to be this white used to be able to swim from one side to the other you can hear what was being said on the other side and the water wasn't as deep as it is today. he positions his fishing out here by the river bank every morning and used to catch plenty of fish throughout the day today though once again his net remains empty. across asia rivers and seas are being robbed of their sand which is needed to construction sites in faraway cities. glass cement asphalt all vital materials for urban centers expanding all over asia and only using sand singapore's prosperity is literally built on sand which for

many years was imported from cambodia. cut some more has sold her cow and now lives in its former shed with no door no cupboards and no toilet. when it rains and is windy the water comes through the walls to stay dry i cover everything with plastic and crouch on the bed under the tarp. her neighbors were also hit hard now they live in this shock. one night the family heard strange noises their tiny hole began to sink and to slide the bank of the river collapsed and it was swept away. for drinking water the villagers collect rain the grown ups work hard every day on construction sites in the nearby city but they never earn enough. warning. every day i build houses that other people the hotels restaurants and skyscrapers also all made using sand the rich live there

comfortable lives and i'm poor and can't do anything about it but because the sand is missing here our house slid into the me call. the villagers are desperate but also disheartened that. the sand doesn't belong to anyone it belongs to the river but these people come here investors business people they come and just take the sand in order to sell it. later cambodia has now officially prohibited the export of sand but how strictly is the ban enforced when asked government officials refused to comment just outside the capital phnom penh mountains of sand her piled up for the city's own construction sites this man works for a conservation group. 2016 we checked the shipping documentation and found that come bode you claim to be sending only small amounts of sand to singapore but

according to singapore it imported many times that quantity it doesn't add up but the government has never commented on it that in cambodia since used to be something that never ran out now it's a valuable resource of vital material in the construction of booming asian cities. and cities are where it sat for many seeking a more prosperous life big urban centers around the world a bursting of the scenes for car suggested by 2050 up to 2 thirds of the global population will live in large cities and that has a knock on effect in the countryside villages the dying out many places are seeing a rural exodus of unprecedented proportions how can village life be made appealing again one russian entrepreneur is trying to help. welcome to my lead to dish a small village deep in the ural mountains only 20 houses are inhabited there used

to be 500 people living here now there are only 50 it's one of the many thousands of villages in russia that was dying out. but then they came to the rescue i may be small and look like a boy she says but don't underestimate me calls herself a social entrepreneur. she's always on her cell phone. sells jam online and everyone who buy some gets a personalized thank you video for helping the whole village or to learn the rudiments is now let me to know that they're doing a good deed anyone who contributes becomes part of our initiative a whole army of people that want to bring about change. jam for miley to dish still

bery bery the jobs are dispatched throughout the country many a send out individually. they even make their labels themselves. and t. is another one of their products. the herb square right outside the window most people here have long reached retirement age where all grandmothers they say and the bad guys decide who can work here. remember the woman who was here for only 2 days we told her to stay home she was too slow. they all come from the village or neighboring villages ok. we chat we tell jokes and we laugh a lot of the whole village can hear us the windows are open. the. sweet spoon falls for tea they came up with the idea of themselves as syrup made with

wild herb's and dried berries the latest flavor is seed buckthorn and cinnamon. and organic food chain in moscow has just placed an order for 8000. says it's the customers who long for a life in the country. the best of that which as the quite such as europe work making tea with a cheap you'd much prefer tea from a some of our just like in the country it's like a little vacation at work or the next best thing you take the sweet spoon dunk it into your boring cheney and all of a sudden it's most like summer in the countryside. but that. word has long since got out that pays a good price for berries and herbes. she's made a big difference in all of my lead to do she she also founded a small library even if it's seldom used. and she also organize garbage collection

that something very rare in russian villages. that lena is so impressed that she moved back to the village from the next larger town she inherited a house this year and now she's renovating it soon she'll be moving in with her husband and child. just because the committee who said everything has changed since been here but you know if we're going to make a go of it will fix up the house when try out village life. it's not a big house but it sturdy with 3 rooms her grandparents built it tells us she's hoping to find a job through gives a few mentioning that she needs someone to help with ministration but the good it is just right in the city's sit at work surrounded by concrete walls and then you go home to more of the same and you don't know what to do with yourself or here you

go into the garden you pick some still and you make a salad it's simply a much nicer life. next door in the small factory the order for the moscow organic chain is almost ready as always everyone's having fun. at some point. will be able to stand on its own without bench will pack up and move on to the next village and help the people that. are going in with them where will i be in 10 years not put it all in somewhere out in nature. no but i believe it very well maybe in a plane because of course i'll be flying back and forth between the villages and hopefully a lot of them. and there are many villages like mali to dish in russia just waiting for help. that's all from global 3000 this
