sanctioned by both the state and the church. the stone wall in new york city 51 years ago on the 28th of june 1069 this bar popular with manhattan's gay and lesbian community was raided by police and event which led to days of angry protests against the state indorsed persecution of homosexuals today annual gay pride marches take place worldwide in on are of that uprising many countries have now recognized the rights of homosexuals but there's still a long way to go in poland for example homophobia is on the rise. a road sign designed to name and shame it's a protest against nearly 100 polish towns that have declared themselves free of what they call l g b t ideology. looked up the. post these photos online to show exactly which

communities have to be l g b t free zones or the. filmmaker bartz the chef ski is himself gay he travels to the places where people like him aren't welcome there but they don't need to use these signs to trigger a debate over l.g.b. see the photos are emoted. it's designed to make people think about whether these resolutions are necessary or. bart has published a map highlighting the zone where gays and lesbians aren't welcome it covers nearly one 3rd of poland 5 of the country's 16 regions the resolutions passed by the towns aren't actually binding but it's clear there's no room here for rainbow colors. but if it's a good idea we need to generously havior our sexual life normalities. this is a catholic christian area l g b t or whatever you call it is the jungle when we have next paedophiles. but

a few. homo phobia is especially entrenched in poland's conservative south east. but even in brutally warsaw scenes like this one are highly unusual 2 women holding hands in public. and i gotta are a couple and don't want to hide it but living openly as homosexuals isn't easy even here in the capital stuff. we want to just go we always feel afraid of it. but i think it's women it's a little bit easier for us. we're not safe either. but for men holding hands is completely out of the question in poland. they got married in berlin but in poland they're still considered single homophobia is officially encouraged. yeah i mean i love emmy and she happens to be a woman and she loves me i'm a woman so that's enough to be

a 2nd class citizen here. there's not every day we have to be brave it's like we have to come out every day again and again and again. tell us it was a man even set his dog on me once. he gave me an evil look and he insulted me. with what them. angry residents in the city of ports shot in protest at a march supporting homosexuals such marches are becoming more common home if society is divided. if any so we always say if they say this in front of me and show it in public that bothers me i don't as long as i don't see it i couldn't care less they just shouldn't do it in public poland will never be a tolerant country. how can i tell a child that 2 men kissing is something normal. 15

year old young. confronts the protesters he's been hailed as a hero online by those who oppose homosexuality. he says a prayer against what he feels is evil. during these marches there's a significant police presence. who. christ died for sin and their insulting news christ. it doesn't matter whether it's here in warsaw or get down in our opinion these kinds of excesses should be banned on a chance to ha ha is one of the biggest places of catholic pilgrimage in poland. at this gathering pilgrims are praying for their family values to be upheld. homosexuals need to recognise their weakness for you and i think get treated pray for healing. that's what you should do just those people just want to justify themselves to justify sin and it is

a sin right so to me defending these people would be justifying sins without them. that alleges sin is embodied by couples like him ilya and i gotta one is a lawyer the other a journalist they want to live openly as lesbians but it's not always possible. i was in a store recently and i wanted to say that my wife had set me to go shopping. but then i thought i might live to say my wife. anyone else wouldn't even think about it. they have made one decision. they plan to stay in poland and fight for their rights and for greater tolerance but they say many of their homosexual friends have already given up the fight and left poland behind. and now from next report. in japan he proves that it is possible to

remain true to oneself even in a largely conformist society. just one of his many talents here in the bustling district of tokyo. is known for strutting his stuff. but there's a whole lot more to his story than meets the eye. nobody should be and all of me just because i'm a monk i don't need to hide the fact that i. know every look at whatever your personality or your job is. to you but only those who respect themselves are respected by a. month. for him about the universe. the narrowly defined. no matter what your identity is he believes a life filled with light and love is for everyone.

is a buddhist monk as a child he realized he didn't fit into a neat definition of gender. played with doubts about his identity he sought spiritual guidance. i used to associate monks with traditional images but as i am barked on the learning process that changed i can be who i am one of the higher up monks told me i mean i've got one who does and wants to free all people in the same way just as the moon sheds light on all who look up i mean that started in this. case and now this monk is fully embraced 2 years combining spiritual duties with his job as a makeup artist. and it doesn't stop there golden she more or is also an l g b t q activist. knowing from childhood what it feels like to not fit in. security

as a kid i would dress up as a princess i wore my mom's mini skirt around my neck and dance to music from beauty and the beast code it was a girl i used to say now it's good and i give up on the idea of shaving my head was the exact opposite of what i wanted to do anything other jacket out there. his parents have always supported him after completing school in japan he moved to the united states where he studied art he didn't feel he could live authentically in japan fearing he would have to sweep who he really was under the carpet that said in recent times more japanese are starting to question traditional gender stereotypes. i mean many people in japan still can't accept it but speaking so openly about your sexuality does help to challenge backward thinking that came with. them. and like the fact that he does his own thing

i may be over 80 but honestly it's high time. that. i think affected his skills in new york and los angeles. he's even allowed to do his mother's make up. now for a. good play. as a child initially more could have inherited the position of buddhist priest from his father but it wasn't until his mid twenty's that he had any desire to do so and then he chose to undergo official buddhist training. secure and happy in his individual identity. in the united states nishimura was finally free to embrace his love of make up for him it offered a chance to address the full dimension of his identity.

so that even as a kid i wanted bigger eyes. that's how i got into make up that thought allows you to be a different person. gives you courage and filled you with hope about what is. the creator or not or. he knew early on that he was different to other people traditional color classifications like blue for boys and pink for girls seemed strange to him he expressed himself through illustrations. never mind someone once told me that homosexuality was natural that made me question why i even exist but the very fact i'm different makes me look like a missing puzzle piece a part of the whole diversity of this kind is just nice. that it. was. these days as he moves through shibuya he feels free no longer filled with

shame. but this journey toward self love is the subject of a book please working on at the moment. but his message of tolerance does not get spread everywhere in japan because it kind of was. because i'm just i don't think japan is ready to accept this kind of lifestyle but i personally think it's really good that there are people like him. i even want to. make up extraordinary and buddhist priest. for him life is about having the courage to accept who you are. and finding pleasure and meaning in earthly as well as spiritual pursuits. everyone has the right to accept themselves for who they are on our facebook page

a flock of sheep blazing in the shade. the 1st lambs of the year have arrived and so shepherd florian high's has brought his animals to rest in a green patch between warehouses and factories in the industrial ruhr area in western germany. normally he keeps his flock on the move he's one of the few shepherds left in the country. there are around a 1000 professional shepherds left in germany that's not so many really i don't know many young people who want to do this job i'll continue to do it with passion until i have to step down it's certainly a dying profession that nobody wants to do you don't make much money you just don't get rich doing it. the sheep are eventually sold for their meat but municipalities also pay shepherds to have their flocks graze on public land. but

wool has become a losing business these days sales don't even cover the costs of having the sheep sheared so that's on the beautiful merino wool. is mitt romney and i have merino sheep because they still have the best quality wool i get over a euro per kilo. one colleagues of mine who have other breeds get a lot less they get $45.00 to $0.65 per kilo. of some of them don't sell it any more choosing to burn the world or toss it instead. they're going to. his wool goes to china where it's processed and ends up in bedding upholstery carpets and other textile products some of these end up back on the european market where they're sold at high prices that make spaghetti pappa furious as to talent it's totally

absurd buyers here purchase the wall and send it all the way to china for washing then it sent to paris where it's packaged and suddenly everyone wants it. gives it half it is a self-taught tailor made. she initially trained to be a dental assistant now she's a businesswoman with a passion for wool she calls her product of mosul tweed dyson fan for having i'm a fan of harris tweed which is also so i wondered whether the wall from the sheep in our region with also suitable for fabric and it turns out that it's very suitable for cloth and at that point i told myself that i do my best to save local wool one of the cloth is made in germany soley from wool out of the region she already has about $100.00 metres in stock the company produces vests caps and sport coats from the material. so most of science. haven't

received support from the back in fact spinning wheels in a globalized textile market producing fabric regionally is difficult the production costs are too high the quantities to go. for wool is processed here died and spun into yarn. moved from german sheep barely plays a role in the international market. we get our will from all over the world from new zealand australia and south america also from england. depending on the requirements we have to meet we get our wool from everywhere the infant mortality on. this mill receives only about 10 tonnes of wool from germany each month compared to the $220.00 tons it gets from new zealand wool from down under is pure and wool from other places it's softer and cheaper too because it's

produced very efficiently the vatican felt spinning wheel wants to promote local wool but has no illusions about the future of wool from germany of almost like you're sadly consumers today are not willing to pay higher prices at the retail level they're more interested in getting new products faster they want to see trends in changes in fashion so the cost has to be low it would be nice if people could change their priorities and still. get a cup of remains enthusiastic about her will in fabric it may be expensive but demand from high quality sustainable fashion is growing her mission is to eventually produce quantities approaching 10000 metres of her muzzle tweet. i don't want yes my primary goal is to find imitators trick i mean i don't want to earn millions and i want satisfied employers and i want to know that i have enough to live on at the end of the month and i'd like everyone in the value chain all those who are helping out to enjoy working with me and feel like they're being paid

fairly for their contribution to be at just. this weekend global idea as we look at the mountains of trash which are becoming a thorn in the side of pretty much every corner of all planet in south africa's nelson mandela bank piles of rubbish are a blight on the poorest districts in particular but people that have come up with some great solutions reporter stephanie byrne headed back to find out more. whole and on $10.00 a good bond are grieving for their children the 4 youngsters died at the start of this year while playing at it no legal garbage dump like all the children here do. they live in the township of motherwell here quarters of. the women but it's their children go clothes and buy toxic substances in the garbage for years local people have been asking the authorities to address the problem manuela posed himself it's

so painful we always try to stop other kids from playing on his area but there's no way of keeping the children safe none of the parents can do anything about this place. i thought the municipality's fault was they failed us even though and. even after our laws they failed to at least what they promised to do. so i'm delighted to be in the. running mate. more than a quarter of a century has passed since apartheid ended but the south african government still hasn't managed to equip all the townships with power running water and a functioning waste disposal and sanitation system. the local authorities are aware of the problem but they're chronically underfunded. 2 years ago they declared a war on waste 50 illegal waste dumps were transformed into parks and playgrounds

like this one. but the spokesman for the municipal authority into buns. says local residents also have a role to play. it's a fact we're having intelligence in. where we are. trying so hard to miss pushing message that that talk to all communities to make them understand that you all know your own neighborhoods you know your neighbor not. meant. to miss and it's a bad message between us and you have to take care of your neighbours' it can work for us if you don't work with us the nearby warmer township home 260000 people offers one example of what can be done here garden a call and he says he will take launched a move freely project with the help of a nonprofit organization he transformed and illegal garbage dump into a vegetable garden the vegetables so well in the neighborhood the income from sales

allows seaward to employ 5 local men as gardeners. the 1st of all this garden helps to keep the environment clean because people no longer dump garbage here but it also helps the community by providing jobs in order for the garden to grow and succeed i need people to help now the garden provides a source of income and food. and we need. a number of commune. based initiatives are working with local people in walmer to prevent the township from drowning in brothers. one of them is retreat this social empowerment project works with waste pickers like. to recycle trash he and 60 other residents from walmart collect wasteful around the township every friday they bring it to the retreat recycling store. every. points which he can then exchange for food clothing

and other items. d'angelo found at the project as a way of helping the community. people think that thrown away means that it just goes away but we have a lot of people that live in those away places that live close to tips and places where garbage collectors. fare living conditions for anyone so we're really trying to change that because our. housing is very close to those areas so we want them to be the best areas people are going to live in that. retreat gives the waste reclaimers much more than what the commercial recycling firms offer the project is financed by private donations and the sale of the recyclable waste thanks to retreat collecting recyclables has become a recognized job and providing a modest but vital income that you go.

back to the garden in warmer c. was packing up vegetables for $150.00 families the coronavirus pandemic has left many in the township without a source of income so now they're dependent on food aid. the food packages are being funded and distributed by an association called massif one day it's a joint german south african initiative that normally works to assist young people in warmer but offering training programs. the association has also helped see what to develop the garden now during the pandemic it's taking on a new role massif and a social worker valencia twilio says the corporation with the feeling is a success we as muslims in the field that we need to actually going to tell if the

people that are in i will call not only to look it's not about just giving people but it's also being part of a bigger picture in the it will be much of a change agent into making sure that all people at least function at a level with by day are actually on the spotted and dignified at the end of. the municipal authorities are supposed to ensure that health and hygiene standards are adhere to in the garden they say they're agriculture department is working to support and monitor urban vegetable gardens. you. see was says they did provide him with garden tools but they have yet to check whether the ground of the former garbage tip and the vegetables planted there contain any toxins. but the war on waste continues the municipal authorities have pledged to invest 7000000 euros in the cause by 2022.
