so. it's. good to. see you 60 minutes to talk. live to us is on its way to bring you more conservation. how do we make cities sgrena how can we protect habitats to make a difference to the ideas of the mental series a game global sales of g.w. gone mind. welcome to global 3000 south africa's townships of waging war on illegal garbage dumps we find out. we meet a monk in tokyo who believes that buddha would approve of his openly individual

lifestyle. but 1st homophobia is on the rise in poland much of it sanctioned by both the state and the church. the stone wall in new york city 51 years ago on the 28th of june 1969 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 honor of that uprising many countries have now recognize the rights of homosexuals but there's still a long way to go in poland for example homophobia is on the rise. in 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 ideology. and i post these photos online just are exactly which communities have opted to be l g b t free zones but the filmmaker bots the chef ski is himself gay he travels to the places where people like him aren't welcome would you but they're not to use the science to trigger debates over l g b c the photos are emotive 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. not it's a good idea we don't need to generously havior our sexual. goodness this is

a catholic christian area l g b t or whatever you call it is the jungle when we have next huge paedophiles. but a few. homo phobia is especially entrenched in poland's conservative southeast. 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 and poland. they got married in berlin but in poland they're still considered single homophobia is officially encouraged. yeah

i mean i love amie 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 up a goatee 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 if we want the most it was a man even set his dog on me once. he gave me an evil look and he insulted me. want them. angry residents in the city of ports shout in protest at a march supporting homosexuals such marches are becoming more common publish the site is divided. evenly so we always say if they see this in front of me and show it in public that involve me 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. could 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 in. christ died for sin and they're insulting these christ. it doesn't matter whether it's here in warsaw or get down in our opinion these kinds of excesses should be banned going on there was a chance to haha is one of the biggest places of catholic kolgrim edge in poland. at this gathering pilgrims are praying for their family values to be upheld. homosexuals need to recognise their weakness or you know either get treated or 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 a legit sin is embodied by couples like him ilya and i got 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 had me to go shopping. but then i thought my life to say it 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. we leave poland in japan he proves that it is possible to remain true to oneself even in a launch any conformist society. is just one of his many talents here in the bustling district of she go you're in tokyo. is known for strutting his stuff. but there's a whole lot more to his story than meets the eye. given us nobody should be an 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 others. for him about the

universe not 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 a learning process that changed i can be who i am. one of the higher up monks told me me never go out on buddhism 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. place and now this monk is fully embraced 2 years combining in spiritual duties with his job as a makeup artist. and it doesn't stop there cold only

a few more is also an l g b t q activist. knowing from childhood what it feels like to not fit in. secret like you 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 than and there. was parents of all my 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. it they like the fact that he does his own thing i may be over 80 but honestly it's high time for your budget. i think affected his skills in new york and los angeles. he's even allowed to do his my. doesn't make up. now true for. now though he's played. as a child machine where it 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 and she more was finally free

to embrace his love of make up for him it offered a chance to address the full dimension of his identity. with us so that even as a kid i wanted a bigger eyes. that's how i got into make up for the allows you to be a different person. gives you courage and filled you with hope about what is it possible. to create in one who cannot 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. 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 think like a missing puzzle piece a part of the whole and diversity of this kind is just nice. that is that it

was. these days as he moves through shibuya he feels free no longer filled with shame. this journey toward self love is the subject of the book he's working on at the moment. but his message of tolerance does not get spread everywhere in japan. because it 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. think of extraordinary 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.

vast herds of thousands of sheep. germany can't compete with that it's sheep farming industry is on the decline and its herds are getting smaller. a flock of sheep blazing in the shade. the 1st lambs of the year have arrived and so shepherd florian hives 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 work 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 from a beautiful merino wool. i have merino sheep 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. some of them don't sell it any more choosing to burn the world or toss it instead. they're going to put. 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 and it sent to paris where it's packaged and suddenly everyone wants it. gives it half it is a self-taught tailor. she initially trained to be a dental assistant now she's a businesswoman with a passion for wool she calls her products mosel tweed dyson fan for having i'm a fan of harris tweed which is also so i wondered whether the wool from the sheep in our region was also suitable for fabric and it turns out that it's very suitable for cloth and at that point i told myself that i'd do my best to save local wool one. the cloth is made in germany soley from will out of the region she already has

about 100 meters in stock the company produces vests caps and sport coats from the material. so most of science. haven't received support from the back and failed spinning wheel in a globalised textile market producing fabric regionally is difficult the production costs are too high the quantity is too low. for wool is processed here died and spun into yarn. wool from german sheep barely plays a role in the international market. because. 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 so one foot in bali 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 always harder 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 pappa 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. as a man yes my primary goal is to find him. taters the trick i mean i don't want to earn millions and i want satisfied employers and i want to know that i have enough

the women but it's the children go clothes and buy toxic substances in the garbage for years local people have been asking the authorities to address the problem and manuela pleased him so much it's so painful we always try to stop other kids from playing at 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 little. 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 bun's he. says local residents also have a role to play. it's a fact we're having intelligence in a. way we are. trying so hard is i when it's pushing message that that talk to all communities to make them understand that you all know your own mabel words you know your neighbor will not government. 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 walmer township home 260000 people offers one example of what can be done here gardener call and he says he will take
