what they call ideology. and i post these photos online to strikes after which communities have opted to be l g b t free zones or the. filmmaker bots the chefs he is himself gay he travels to the places where people like him aren't welcome would you but they don't need to use these signs to trigger debates over l g b c the photos are emotive designed to make people think about whether these resolutions are necessary. bart has published a map highlighting the zone where gays and lesbians aren't welcome it covers nearly one 3rd of poland 5 out 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. no doubt but if it's a good idea we don't need to generally havior our 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 worldly warsaw scenes like this one are highly unusual to 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 is 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.

me all my love and me 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. that's not every day we have to be great 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 poets shout in protest at a march supporting homosexuals such marches are becoming more common publish the site is divided. if any so it was said if they see this in front of me and show it in public that bothers 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 record 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 the north. christ died for sin and they're insulting this christ. and actually it doesn't matter whether it's here and what's more so 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 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 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 attacked me to go shopping. but then i thought my life to save 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. in japan he proves that it is possible to remain true to oneself even in a largely conformist society. if he loses just one of his many talents here in the bustling district. 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 others. 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. when 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. 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 your 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. 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 code it was a girl i used to say no 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. 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 . and you want to get many people in japan still can't accept it but speaking so

openly about your sexuality does help to challenge backward thinking. i like the fact that he does his own thing i may be over 80 but honestly it's high time for your budget i can tell you that. i think affected his skills in new york and los angeles. he's even allowed to do his mother's makeup. now true for. now though he played. 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. or that even as a kid i wanted to 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. you knew early on that he was different to other people traditional color classifications like blue for boys and think 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 versity of this kind is just nice. that.

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. but 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. even if you. think of 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.

industry is on the decline and it's herds are getting smaller. a flock of sheep blazing in the shade. the 1st lambs of the year have arrived and so shepherd florian pi'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 your. 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 some of you before merino wool. have merino sheep because they still have the best quality wool i get over a euro per kilo. and 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 and it sent to paris where it's packaged and suddenly everyone wants it. gives it papa 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. and fanfan have i'm a friend of harris tweed which is also so i wondered whether the wall 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 assigns. have 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 quantities 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 that $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 male wants to promote local wool but has no illusions about the future of wool from germany have always wanted to 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 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 as my primary goal is to find imitators kind of i don't want to earn millions and i want satisfied employees 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 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 opulent it in south africa's nelson mandela bay 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. and on $10.00 agree bamma are grieving for their children the 4 youngsters died at the start of this year while playing out in the legal garbage dump like all the children here do. they live in the township of motherwell your quarters about. 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 and manuela opposed to it 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 municipalities 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 going to be a little. bit. 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. so frank we're having a tenet of being where we are. trying so hard to miss pushing the message that that talk to all communities to make them understand that you all knew your own neighborhoods you know a neighbor not government. it's a bad message between us and you want to take it off you own it but what 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 gardener called on 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. 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. that will ignite. a number of commune. based initiatives are working with local people in wal-mart to prevent the township from drowning in. 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 waste from 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. found at the project as a way of helping the community. people think that thrown 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 they can be people are going to live in. retreat gives the waist reclaimers much more than what the commercial recycling firms offer them the project is financed by private donations and the sale of the recyclable waste thanks to retreat collecting recyclables has become a recognized job in wal-mart providing

a modest but vital income that you go. back to 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 massey 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 fund

a social worker valencia twilio says the cooperation with them ophelia is a success we as muslims in the field that we need to actually neutralize the people that are in our community but 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 it's a level with by the actually i'm with 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 there 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
