i have. crossed. with the idea that our future. documentary starts now. welcome to global 3000 this week we head to china growth infrastructure prosperity china wants it all and to boost its green credentials to. india garbage just clogging the streets of many cities could it be turned into a valuable resource. and in brazil we meet some women who have escaped the deadly

danger their own partners. a society that values all its members equally surely that would be the ideal form of community but when it comes to gender equality most societies around the world are lacking hierarchy power and property define the role of women they are often treated as objects especially in armed conflict. and as baby machines traditions like bride prices or turn women into goods and often leave them economically dependent on their husbands. such structures are breeding grounds for domestic violence and femicide 11000 women murdered in asia 11000 in africa and 6000 in north and south america those are just the official numbers of women killed by their intimate partners in 2017. countries in latin america have adopted special femicide long. calling for tougher sentences for the gender related killing of

women in 2015 so to brazil. a maximum security prison in a remote region of the state other go in northeast brazil the director has given us permission to interview men who have killed their wives or girlfriends it's a crime that's increasing at an alarming rate in brazil an average of 5 women are murdered by their partners here every day. the circumstances vary but there's a pattern jealousy is often cited as the motive offenders blame their victims who they view as their property. my partner who i was together with who i loved and respected cheated on me and then i killed her. i said i wouldn't kill her i just teacher to respect a man she tried to run i was holding a weapon and grabbed her by the here

a shot went off. into the back of him came out the other side of the. women in rural regions are particularly at risk and a larger lemur lives imparja by in brazil's northeast she left her violent has been 9 years ago he still threatens her. she now lives with her parents again in their village only daring to visit her own isolated house with one of her children but she has no other choice she lives of this land. if my ex-husband comes here and attacks me then at least my children can report what happened when you. left out in the rain was a problem deeply entrenched in their society but refuses to be a victim you know. i lived with a brutal and violent person and i wanted to leave him so my children wouldn't get used to it. but there is no simple way out her father is also

a violent man who beat his wife and children now he is a bad influence on the nail to his 14 year old son my son spends a lot of time with my father i also knew to sit at home if he supposed to clean up after eating he refuses because my father says it's not men's work don't do it my boy and where are the women in your sister or your mother. they are fighting back every year an international women's day women from the area join forces to march here a new venue what began as a demonstration for the rights of women farmers and family businesses has grown into a full scale protest for equality and against domestic violence it's another step towards challenging a male dominated society. this march. means a lot to us we have to put up with so much the violence the machismo it affects the entire family i've suffered alone for so long now i can express myself but many

women are still suffering in silence in march. this is still an unusual event which not all women are able or willing to take part in but things are changing here in the countryside. and brazil's cities things are not much better behind the scenes the number of domestic killings of women in são paulo also rose rapidly we need jessica she's a successful model educated rich beautiful and yet she too ended up with a violent man and almost paid with her life the more time because you know abusive relationship begins with someone being punched in the face at 1st still draw you in and to do soup is extremely manipulative and undermines your protective barriers and destroys your self-esteem it keeps you away from people your life in the engine relinquish around judgment entirely i was more afraid of losing him than of dying. the kids you need more of that jessica wants others to benefit from her experiences

she's backing a project set up by 2 judges to train the staff of beauty salons to spot the signs of domestic violence without locals also think well we're here because this is our temple and here we can express our rage we women often say more to each other than to our parents. jessica's story is the 1000000 too many here they've experienced similar things themselves or have seen their customers suffering. up indication i learned here that you can tell by the clients behavior something is wrong they're emotionally confused or know very sad they seem destroyed on the inside is that the men in brazil confuse machismo with masculinity they are working to change ideas of masculinity so and so talk to their fathers about what it means to be a man rescue learned. so being only about rituals and stereotypes. stereotypes that are being reinforced by the government. dark days for us

right now we're totally going backwards. we still have one of the best laws on protecting women. but it's hard to watch how the government is working on turning back time. that's also why this is the biggest munch that i eva has ever seen on and they are just a call for an end to murder and violence the women shout we won't give up show us respect and much is more kills every single day. violence and repression don't exist here say many women in. their well educated and have a big say in the political and economic life of the enclave in the southern caucasus mountains how did that happen nagorno-karabakh has been the subject of a decades long conflict between armenia and azerbaijan as a result most of its men become soldiers to defend the borders of the

self-proclaimed republic and the absence of men has opened up new opportunities for women. for. this was once the front line in the conflict between armenia and azerbaijan on. the ground in the disputed region of nagorno-karabakh still full of unexploded mines little it aamir khan younis in charge of a team that removes them. a stake here can be fatal the work requires the highest concentration so she calls a break every 40 minutes. it's a great honor for me to rid our country of mines to make it usable again as the 1st female team leader i'm a role model showing that women can have a career in professions like this. leg or no car back in the

southern caucasus has a population of just 150000. the capital stepped on a character projects a modern image as do its female residents. but the posters on display are a reminder of the tensions in the region the military remains a dominant force here and it's primarily a male domain. elsewhere women are focused on carving out a new kind of image for the region kerryn zakaria and comes from tough a village in the south of nagorno-karabakh after years working for i.t. companies in moscow she's now trying to promote tourism in her hometown. she's especially keen to foster a sense of local it pride of. my idea was to. explain to people here that this 1st of all and there was

a sink war what were doing here to change the more they have to fail happiness they have to have a life living here they they live under your tree for nature they don't see but even here in the peaceful countryside the conflict still looms large during the separatist war in the 1990 s. she was in moscow caring for her newborn child. i was story about i'm not a man to be here i had the sound that time. very little song i would mother and i said why i'm not the man to hear in my motherland. since then women have made it into key positions here deputy foreign minister amin alexandria had originally planned to study journalism in russia but. now a new insights but when the war broke out she couldn't leave. but instead she

studied in english and german and after graduating began her political career the only guy we had in our group was in the army most of the type and most guys were actually fighting but not studying so that generation didn't really get a proper education. when it comes to males segment of the population but if a mouse where they're studying and trying to become someone in that sense that's why when they were back and sees that what is really felt by environment. the men tended to make a career in the army even today all young men have to serve for 2 years near these marching cadets 20 young soldiers are packing up for their deployment to the front . we were only allowed to film 2 of them polishing their shoes.

women too can become officers but the army itself a central institution in this defacto state remains a male domain go hard gaspari and there's a nurse assigned to the young soldiers and. she shows us the air filter which has reduced respiratory infections in the barracks she is the us insurance but every year we get 400 new conscripts with 20 of them on my voice so i take care of them like a mother with. these young men have a rather traditional take on women in the military. i don't think that women should serve in the army i think they're defending the homeland is a job for men that will last no. out in the minefield the break is over and lilith american ians team continues to show that women certainly can serve their country. none of the men in the group has a problem with a woman as

a supervisor she says. you know women have the same rights as men in fact women manage to work and take care of their homes so many shouldn't talk about things they don't understand the discrimination against women is deeply anchored in a society so. women are fighting for their place in society and they're going to care about but until the territories conflict is resolved they will face more obstacles than antiquated gender roles. repression and discrimination are part of life for many women around the world on our new facebook channel d.w. women you'll find stories about those taking a stand and inspiring others to do the same d.w. women gives a voice to the women of. the

indian city of bangalore once boasted hundreds of lakes and many spacious leafy parks today bangalore is known as an i.t. hub the silicon valley of india in the space of 20 years its population rose from 5 to 12000000 the remaining lakes are clogged with sewage and toxic waste the side effects of rapid growth. but not all residents are willing to put up with this. in the heart of bangalore garbage is festering everywhere this neighborhood is literally drowning in it. illegal dumping sites are more than just an eyesore residents complain of a fellow all day long several cases of dengue have been reported in the area. bank of the municipality has hired so-called marshals to crack down on those littering or dumping trash the marshal makes the offender pick up the bag he just

threw away. this guy's throwing his weight. and separated it this is a ground the garbage truck went to his house party because he woke up too late. $200.00 rupees just under 3 euros for dumping household trash the city's infrastructure is failing to cope with the unchecked development and growth once known as the garden city bangalore now has a new nickname garbage city. some have had enough. every morning. inspect the trash pick up in the neighborhood of koramangala. residents are meant to put their kitchen waste in a green been without linus it's then directly into the truck. but

a chemistry teacher takes it upon himself to educate residents. pretty. good. but he can't put plastic you know to be so that is the only problem i see. if i lie neatly you feet but you should not because it does you know. you're sure not. to have. it just because it really. food and then you need the same. not everyone follows the rules here all the trash has gone into one bin boy's my blood really because. we have been and it's not rocket science. it's just separated and how hard is that. entrepreneurs encounters new dumping science daily. sparked this.

painting them are making but then again in. the environmental engineer has come up with his own solution to reduce the city's waste he's joined forces with machinery ballroom to set up a bio gas facility. i think they're following instructions we were looking so full featured thank you feel granik waste from padma shri ballrooms neighborhood which would normally go to a landfill is instead here as a rule material. the trash has to come in. otherwise it means high operational costs and less bio gas home today. payoff it wasn't as good. this is nearly 100 percent right there is about 5 percent that means to strip the floor was an alert with which had very highly been content but i would rate this extremely good i mean this is now good enough for by i guess. the facility process

is about 600 kilograms of local kitchen waste a day turning it into slurry the actual plant is further away built in the 3rd this shipping container is on land provided by the local authorities. there is also a business model. the row by a gas is purified here and then stored in a tank. the resulting gas brand named carbon lights is sold. what we're producing as an end product is about 90 to 94 percent of meet him which means it's much better than natural gas it can displace any fossil fuel beat m.p.g. from abuse and so at the end of the day we're creating a clean clean renewable energy right here and. the biggest guy is a neighboring restaurant the gas is piped in from just 200 meters away. the

restaurant is hugely popular the kitchen uses about 70 kilograms of bio gas a day which is also cheaper than conventional cooking gas. or demonstrated your pipe for that for every dollar you know. and we don't have the stocks in those you own up to christmas you know it's cost effective it's good really and we're doing something pretty and right where. the bulk of bangles waste is driven 40 to 50 kilometers outside the city there are no official dumps within the city anymore for the $5000.00 tons of garbage bangalore generates every single day. even designated landfills like this one on a major has it. it's the most unscientific waste. causes diseases the

pollution creates again. that's again. some not ion has scaled up his operations to help keep more waste out of landfills and make his business. about 13 tons of food waste arrive at this plant north of every day from parks and corporate campuses. about $7000.00 jobs have been created here to buy a gas plant. unlike the facility in the city it also compresses the gas it's then bottled into senate is that can be shipped to customers across bangalore. our dream is to have this across india with coming into this business. it's a win win for the country as well as creating more jobs and creating energy

security. something that i own has already expanded into 2 more states he plans to continue growing the waste to feel business model could be a viable way for indian cities to clean up their act. even breathing can kill according to the w.h.o. 7000000 people die every year due to air pollution fine particulate matter emitted by traffic and industry affects the health of 90 percent of people worldwide now china the world's biggest polluter is taking action its growing middle class once cleaner air. we're a 3 hour drive outside beijing and despite appearances environmental activist john jones knows that all is not well the river is almost dry the last 2 decades he's been recording the dwindling aquatic life of this region. well mission high 500

everything is focused on china's growth and making us economically competitive but we are using up our natural resources and really no one knows how things can continue. polluted ground water and air have become commonplace in and around china's big cities everyone has got used to monitoring air quality on a daily basis. and that here the air is good here in the mountains. really fresh in fact. you know but as soon as i get closer to beijing things deteriorate. i start to feel really unwell. feet before. this was the scene in beijing 4 years ago the footage was taken at midday but it could be night china is the biggest air pollution in the world. for a long time the country relied only on coal but no new coal powered stations are

being built any more coal consumption has flatlined since 2013 over the last 5 years or so there's been a lot of improvements beijing's air called in the air quality across northern china . that's being as a result of a lot of government measures to clamp down on. the burning of coal and households to switch. heating with gas heating and also stricter emissions standards on industry. the emission levels of many industrial plants are now being tested in real time and posted online margin collects these huge amounts of data with this new one can see who is exceeding the norms and through this effort some of the lodges plot you know some of the state owned enterprises started responding to their. to the law the people's pressure and started opening address their violations. china has traditionally been seen as the world's factory floor and has

the emissions to show for us that's why margin wants to ensure international consumer goods companies like dell. and keep tabs on the environmental records of their suppliers. 1st question there's always like you know we have a green policy but in china sorry i just don't know who are polluting no doubt and i still remember the 1st meeting that we were able to tell them that look we have some data. steel and cement production are huge sources of pollution as china's economy has grown its infrastructure has also expanded in the last 3 years the country has used more cement than the u.s. did in the entire 20th century on china's building boom continues. its. basically any trends in terms of industry or the power sector here ultimately any trends in coal consumption are of importance to the whole world. and

these trends can be positive china has become a world leader in solar power for example. no other country invest as much money in renewables as beijing solar power is now cheaper than grid electricity and much of the country. back in the mountains near beijing. is confident that china is moving in the right direction at the moment c o 2 emissions per capita in china are less than half what they are in the us and he wants to stay that way. when you know when. people are becoming increasingly aware of the environmental problems here and responding accordingly many have understood that environmental protection is ultimately in their own best interest. but some still see growing prosperity an environmental protection as being at odds with one another with his photos john john fung wants to show just what an asset are natural surroundings are.
