beethoven distrusts play is for the beethoven 202250th anniversary. welcome to global 3000 south africa's townships are waging war on illegal garbage dumps we find out. we meet a monk in tokyo who believes that burger 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 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 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. 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. post these photos online to show exactly which

communities have to be l g b t free zones or the. filmmaker bites the chef skiis himself gay he travels to the places where people like him aren't welcome but the need to use these signs to trigger a debate over o.g.t.t. the photos are emoted. it's designed to make people think about whether these resolutions are necessary whatsoever. 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 you don't need to generally hate your sexual love normalities. 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 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. 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. i mean i love family 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 go tell us it was a man even set his dog on me once. he gave me an evil look and he insulted me. walk them. angry residents in the city of ports shout in protest at a march supporting homosexuals such marches are becoming more common polish society is divided. if any so it was said if they say this in front of me and show it in public that involve those 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 in the north. christ died for sin and they're insulting me as christ. actually it doesn't matter whether it's here and what's more so or good downscaling in our opinion these kinds of excesses should be banned to bring on a chance to haha is one of the biggest places of catholic religion 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 you just let people just want to justify themselves to justify sin and it is

a sin right so to me defending these people would be justifying sin without them. that a legit 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 sent me to go shopping. but then i thought i might live to say my wife. anyone else would need and 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 and meet him 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 in tokyo. is known for strutting his stuff. but there's a whole lot more to his story than meets the eye. to venice 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 and what it did but only those who respect themselves are respected by others had it on my mind. 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. when 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 i mean. 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. place and now this monk is fully embraced 2 years combining his spiritual duties with his job as a makeup artist. and it doesn't stop there go to an issue more is also an l g b t q activist. knowing from childhood what it feels like to not fit in. the

physical 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 kodos a girl i used to say now scrutinize the idea of shaving my head was the exact opposite of what i wanted to do anything other than their. 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. you know it

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 mom. does make up. now true for a. company. as a child nishimura 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. with us

so that even as a kid i wanted a bigger rise but that's how i got into make up that the allows you to be a different person. gives you courage and fills you with hope about what is it possible. to create and 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 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. that this journey toward self love is the subject of a 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 gets really good that there are people like him. even. more a. bank of extraordinary unthought is 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 bronx to accept themselves for who they are on our facebook page

d w women you can find more stories about people who are standing up for their rights and inspiring others to do the same d.w. women gives a voice to women everywhere. our planet is home to around a 1000000000 sheep most of them live in asia followed by africa and australia and new zealand one of the most important products our shabby friends give us is their world in 29 seen around 1100000 tons of refined world were produced globally. the leading producers are australia china the us and new zealand together they make up around 70 percent of the global market and they all boast 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 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 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 wool 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 split get a pop and furious is just

a 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 must 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. 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 on with the signs. how to

receive support from the back and failed spinning wheel in a globalized 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 on 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 couple remains enthusiastic about her wool 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 kind of 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 the at least. 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 our 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 bird headed back to find out more. whole and known time docile greeba are grieving for their children the 4 youngsters died at the start of this year while playing at no legal garbage dump like all the children here do. they live in the township of motherwell you're portaloos about. the women but 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

opposed to 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. it's up to municipalities fault was they failed us even though and. even after our laws they failed to at least what they promised to do. so none of the. animate. 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. with 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 being where we are. trying so hard is our in this pushing message that that talk to all communities to make them understand that you all were your own maple words you know your neighbor would not government. between us and you have to take care of you own it kind of 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 garden he says he will take launched the big 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. first 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. a number of community based initiatives are working with local people in wal-mart 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 earns moco points which he can then exchange for food clothing

and other items. 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 but they are 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. 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 warmer providing a modest but vital income that.

well the thing. back at the garden in wal-mart she 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 massy phone 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 massive social worker valencia to wallow says the corporation with feel is a success we as muslims in the field that we need to actually minuto lies the people

that are in our community it's not about just giving people but it's also being part of the 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 they are actually on the suspected 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
