this is deja vu news that live from berlin outrage and disgust across the united states protests break out after prosecutors bring no charges against police for the killing of briana taylor the 26 year old health worker was shot dead by police during a raid on her home also coming up bella racine later i was under the crescendo is sworn in as president in a secretive ceremony outside on the streets the protesters took to continue to demand his resignation.

she was known for her black clothes and incredible voice through the x. rays of the french singer and little troll icon. of the state lottery in the sequel he said. i'm tired shades and welcome to the show we began in the united states where protesters have been demanding justice for briana taylor who was shot dead by police in march prosecutors have now charged one officer but only with endangering her neighbors not with murder protests broke out across the country after the charges were announced including in taylor's hometown of louisville kentucky prompting the mayor to declare a curfew for the next 3 nights taylor was shot dead when police raided her apartment on a so-called no knock warrants her killing it was one of several deaths of black

people at the hands of police that set off months of anti-racism protests in the united states. our correspondent often simons and joins us now a from louisville kentucky just on approach as have been held in cities across the u.s. but your reporting for us from taylor's hometown where she was killed tell us what happened there. well now where i'm standing is where they actually happened here in louisville kentucky all day long immediately after the grand jury came with the no charge of any of the officers direct charge of the officers in the connected to the death of briana taylor protest started right here where i'm standing and that is jefferson state park however here was police this whole place was packed with police just hours ago and during the course of the day . groups of protesters marched from here throughout the town there were 46 arrests

from the police here in louisville and 2 police officers were shot actually they're both in hospital one is our understanding still in surgery the other one is fine and none of the injuries were life threatening but again where we were aware we are here now this is hours ago just packed with police helicopters in the air protesters chanting. no justice no peace and why is that because nobody here really understands and this is that total loss is why those 3 police officers or at least just one police officer has not been charged with actually anything let's take a closer look at this decision that set all this off why were none of the officers officers charged with murder or manslaughter. you know i don't have an answer for you i can't really tell you why that is that's that's for the attorney of the

taylor family to say that he is and the other justice experts are at a loss and why is this not happen the general attorney here off of the state of kentucky said he followed the law and he was the one explaining to the public that there was only a wanton if a 3 counts of 1st degree wanton endangerment. for him to charge one police officer and the other 2 involved in the shooting or don't forget she was shot at least 6 times. and the police had. the wrong address the wrong one route for this no knock rate which the general attorney also said was actually now and he not great that means the police says now they had actually a witness who heard the police saying hey here's the police open the door with the door this is absolutely disputed there's so many questions left to be answered by

police by law enforcement in general slashed by the attorney general. there will be no no end of protesting here and across the united states in the next few days and nights i assume because of so many questions unanswered and the disturbing details of the case have made a break on its hailer a rallying call for protesters demanding racial justice in the united states but has not brought about any concrete changes since her death. that's a very very difficult a very good question though but very difficult to answer is very complex so has there been progress depending on who you are some people would say yes there has been made progress in terms of police reform in. tackling structural or systemic. racism police brutality police violence and the structures which make police being

problematic for predominantly african-american black americans for them it's a totally different reality now others would say there's no progress made whatsoever this other cities i would say for example in minneapolis the town where george floyd died on may 25th in police custody they are really trying to really change the police department and change the structure has that happened here i would say no did this happen across the united states whites no not really evil stuff and simons in atlanta thank you. let's take a look now at some other stories making news around the world. u.s. president on hold trump has refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses november's presidential election when asked at

a ceremony that was kept secret from his people when they heard about it protesters once again took to the streets they say the presidential election as. a victory last month was rigged. and this secret inauguration a long time authoritarian leader alexander lukashenko attempted to snatch a 6th term as president of the roots all pomp and circumstance and no protesters in the little. here at independence palace in the heart of minsk. north culls for an end to his 26 year grip on power and took the oath of office for distinguished guests and the military whom he thanked for saving the nation. maybe some of us today don't understand what happened but i'm sure that in a short period of time all of you standing in front of me well understand that you

saved the world on this piece of land you defended the sovereignty of our country the roots of. this ceremony doesn't match what's happening on the streets of men and around the country for the past 6 weeks thousands took to the streets after the swearing in demanding luka shingo step down they believe the august election was rigged they say bello reuss will never have democracy as long as look if she goes president. this is what we're tired of the law listeners in this country we want fair elections we deserve better than we've seen over the past 26 years. we're disgusted it really hurts how could he hold this inauguration secretly from the people he promised to protect us but in reality all he cares about is his right police it's over he's no one to us anymore. exiled opposition leaders that led us to. call their naga ration

a farce. we all understand what's happened it was an attempt by lucretia and go to call himself the legitimate leader which only means that his previous nam date has ended and the country hasn't given him a new one. for now protesters and lucas shingo continue to fight for their differing versions of the future of color use. while the european commission has unveiled a new plan a for its migration and asylum policy it proposes that a new member states which don't want to accept more migrants like hungary and poland would instead take charge of other responsibilities like to porting rejected asylum seekers migration is one of the most politically sensitive issues in the block and the proposal comes as crowded camps in a greece are in the spotlight for their miserable conditions. a camp on the greek island of some most fit for 500 people it houses 5000 it was meant to be

a transit point but a backlog migration system has turned it into a home for so many. routes on the 2 years i've been here not good or the conditions are squalid this place and these people are why europe is finally confronting this crisis presenting her proposal the european commission president called on member states to rise to the challenge. this package reflex a fair and reasonable balance between responsibility and solidarity among men but states we all share the benefits we all share the burden the migration pact includes compulsory pre entry screening with fingerprinting and a health check a faster 12 week asylum processing target and a sponsored return scheme that would see member states take responsibility for

returning migrants on behalf of other member states. the plan abandons previous efforts to relocate new arrivals around the 27 member state something opposed to by the likes of hungry i'm paul and n.g.o.s see that could create havoc in the mediterranean. member states frontline member states like italy greece and and multi. will be reluctant to cooperate if there isn't any sort of mandatory relocation and then they might not disembark our ships that have been rescued and then migrants remain stranded so a lot will depend on the willingness of either member states which in the last 5 years has not been a very high. the commission hopes the scenes of a foreign migrant camp on the greek island of les pauls will be the catalyst for change. morea is a stark reminder we need to find sustainable solutions on migration and we all have

to step off. moreas residents in another makeshift camp can only hope that action comes sooner rather than later. while the french a singer. whose career spanned over half a century has died at the age of 93 great became famous singing some of france's most beloved songs in the bars of postwar paris she went on to become a national icon and kept on performing on stage until she suffered a stroke 4 years ago. this is how the world knew her dressed in black with a powerful voice and her hands moving as if they wanted to sing along you're going to be able to see these. pieces. genetically could move to paris after world war 2 and soon integrated into the capital and culture she felt at home in the smoky bars

we have this thing about covering women's faces because it's either too beautiful and you don't want to get that attention or because. families want to not show their women's faces and that's also comes from ownership of female body and patriarchal society is men feel like they have the right to tell the female in their family to cover her fears or to cover her hair or her body. and so i took that kind of to the next level and just removed my face so it's became something of like let's say like a moderate but are. going to be strong women it's restricted to be successful women and we try so hard but

there's a lot of people do try to. barry bonds because baseball has things that we are not good enough they don't want us to be in control they don't want us to be successful and. i'm going to bury myself but when i come in there and wait it beats my chest and every time i preach i can see the cracks of the clouds the choice to make creating. scary. this is how i feel guilty about. that in our in our city of somehow. in a modern city you saw. sort of the shadow. sunsets and. i chose this 1st because it means when every hardship come good things and i feel

like. it relates to a man struggling with just being with. you was the past the present and the future but the cameras love life you balance the mass of the world. filled with admiration when i see women standing up they will not conform to remarks about. the way the dangerous women are not just a bag of flesh the human spirit. so for years and centuries we've been science our bodies were became the battleground of patricks of racists now we are saying we have enough now we are mobilizing organizing across the countries including in europe you know added to reclaim our voices in your new order to reclaim our

authority. a protest in iraq has capital rabat under the law here having sex before or outside marriage can lead to a one year jail term the north african country also has harsh penalties for abortion 28 year old journalist certainly stands accused of both offenses the case has driven many to protest and to demand self-determination for women. the standing up for their rights young muslim women worldwide expect more from life than their mothers and they put up with less they want legal equality for women over that head scarves and at last the freedom to go out without a husband brother or father as guardian all across the muslim world women are fighting for social change. the story of

mohammed's 1st wife the teacher continues to inspire muslim women today. how the child was especially because she was a very successful businesswoman she knew how to choose the right people to work for our prophet muhammad. she turned off a lot of marriages as being a respectable ritual but a lot of men proposed and at that time almost 1500 years she knew how to say no to me and she's the one who asked prophet muhammad to get married so she has the guts of not to say we all this is the man i can see the cause i think is good for me i was if i detour was empowered she was an empowered to my. sorrow marceau is a political scientist she works for the women's n.g.o.s in paris the group fights for equality and justice in muslim families her own family originally came from

morocco as a teenager in france she encountered prejudice against her faith time and again. i was a well spoken child i was very loud and i was very proud to be able to memorize so many separate from the what i and and if any being the elder daughter of an in mom is not easy because the community looks up to you but when i was young i didn't feel this pressure i was actually looking up to my father i liked reading the outloud in the mosque i wanted to become like him i wanted to be able to preach to lead to prayer and at that time and while growing up i didn't really see the manifestations of i try to keep within my own religion because i was too busy fighting against islamophobia and racism in society in school in looking for a job relation activities and just in the streets. in france where gender equality is enshrined in the constitution and religion is strictly separated

from the state many people are critical of conservative islam. since the islamist terrorist attacks of 2015 the number of islamophobia attacks in the country has increased many other directed against muslim women. for all fair and muslim women. zaineb. the problem isn't religion or the koran but patriarchy. elma's rar was born in hanover the daughter of moroccan immigrants she argues for an open and critical interpretation of islam and she puts muslim gender cliches under the microscope. this traditionally islam is a petri arkell religion it has to be sit tight at least that doesn't mean and i've explored this in my emancipation in islam it's that the situation solution has improved islam. i did it wasn't the role of the woman in

islam whether she can be emancipated within islam is one of the big questions of our time because we talk a lot about islam around the world not just in germany or europe is emancipation possible islam i'd say yes but it's incredibly dependent on who interprets the religion and what mindset she has leaked guys. to. since the 2011 revolution the country on the mediterranean coast has been in a state of upheaval. the islamic scholar she charged 3 was a member of the commission for individual liberties and equal rights its goal was to find solutions to achieve more rights for women. to. islam cannot stand in the way of the emancipation of women need of this.

nor can christianity or judaism these. can't in principle less because the position of women was always explicitly inferior in the monotheistic religious traditions of. explain all 3 religions. so we have to make it is think sion for between the religion itself. and the tradition that stems from religion. in paris the cmon via prize has been awarded it's named after the health minister who fought for abortion rights in france in 1975. 1 of the nominees is seen in. the french moroccan work for many years with the satirical magazine he is due. in 201512 people were killed in an attack on the magazine's

office. since then we has been one of france's fiercest critics of his. life. consume their farm. the woman is worth less than a man and is subject to him net. the women are dependent on their guardianship their money their will their sexual desires which the woman is not allowed to resist no matter if she has a wife or a law. as soon as a woman rejects the model prescribed by society she is denigrated as a whore for she is a woman without morals in the eyes of society. lebanon has a long christian tradition but muslims make up the majority of the population. 30

years after the civil war the country is divided along demographic lines. grew up in a conservative catholic family the experience made her an atheist the lebanese journalist breaks to boost with her weekly t.v. programme the topic today violence against women that happens in my society and in other arab societies women are rigid. as to what's between their legs this is how men conceive honor the honor of the family of their own honor is tied through a what a woman does with her body she is denied the basic right of sexual freedom and even if she is suspected to have done maybe some thing that is not right by the standards of. social and religious norms she is killed the

main problem is that this killer this assassin. gets away with it because it is called a crime of honor and. it's a crime of this honor it's a crime point this son this song from birth to death a woman constantly here is the words how schumacher and. how. that's shame don't be disgraceful that's what they used to say to us girls shush and mean sin how dumb so those are the 2 words that accompany a woman all her life between shame and sin sex some of us want to snatch a video for you guys it's not nearly as cool and clue book buff as says.

islamic feminist discourse operates at 2 levels on the one hand it's a scholarship that critically revisit and pack dominant religious interpretations that are discriminatory against woman on the 2nd hand it also aims to produce new knowledge that makes a case for gender equality but within an islamic battle dying the objective of them from in his movement in his purity is to challenge this battery to reading and to bring in woman lances to bring in feminist senses in the way we understand and we approach islamic textual sources. sarah's role at most is knowledge building coordinator. in 2009 the ngo began working in kuala lumpur more than 250 activists islamic scholars and lawyers from 47 countries took part in a call for equality and justice in muslim families. and religious values was

central to the appeal of those who believe that islamic feminism is an exam or and or that islam and feminism are contradictory in fact they need to check their own assumptions when you believe in feminism you can't exclude other woman and other struggles from this collective struggle weather wise you're not true to your feminist ethics. the islamic feminist especially one to empower practicing muslim women to help them in cause their rights as mothers wives and set aside. according to islamic tradition men hold sway over women as guardians they decide on education independence work choice of husband.

tunisian fauzia shafi has been a muslim feminist ever since she was young. she studied physics in paris in the 1950 s. for a long time she taught at the university of tunis one of the few women to do so. she's concerned that women internees in cities are increasingly wearing headscarves again. simply cool i like to think back to that time my b.f. . my mask my father and mother are fitted so i be back then the women are all dressed like europeans. in general to my comment i love to show my grandmother off because she didn't always wear headscarves to deafen much when she was at home she was just herself. if there are just slightly egyptian women 2 new zealand women who've been struggling since the start of the 20th century the defense team say. in 1956 tunisia gained its

independence the 1st president had beepers saw him self as an advocate for women he i should inconsiderable improvements like the prohibition of polygamy divorce laws and the introduction of a minimum age for marriage. girls and women gained access to schools universities and the labor market. was. within dependence in 1986 resident paul gilbert took the hill on their last shows that will have all the he was convinced that women should be emancipated thank goodness 5000 women were supported by their fathers and grandfathers very early on if that's how it was with me my father thought that academic success was very important. for you always make sure that my

educational development was taken as seriously as my brothers is it due to. the more. the boys oh heck my cademy of sciences is located on the gulf of tunis 5 thick volumes of books originated here titled the quranic text and its variants up them as she char fever for years on the contextualization of the qur'an jewish and christian sources were analyzed including aramaic and syrian literature the latest edition sheds new light on the familiar text. book around it sounds as revelation wasn't taxed so. it was not a fixed written text. so the document we have today this revelation says you know the work of. it isn't the

revelation itself but of the rabbi. leave the work we do helps muslims and also enormous limbs to do away with the literal reading of advanced in the lift you need to read these 3 d. text. it's an approach that usually leads to greater interest in the spirit of the text. rather than in the literal meaning to castle that. nearly all of the qur'an 114 suras contain a lot of ambiguity. so we ask question how do we know what we know how do we know if this interpretation is actually an interpretation of what god had in mind how do we know if this is the source of authority why this male scholars through a dissenter he's had more authority than

a woman today living in one context were understand the stakes for her own experience from a woman's perspective tunisia is the most liberal muslim country in the region even so reforms are needed islamic scholar offer youssef has written extensively on issues like inheritance no polygamy and homosexuality as they relate to the qur'an use of compares the interpretations of male scholars from the middle ages to those of today and critiques their positions because of past she's been threatened by islamists. a love similar to a lot of but i don't know what he. didn't say that in. a lot of the. people here you'll be all over themselves for not. yet. so the a lot

a lot. so about 24 the light verse 35 this 1st goes very much to my heart because it addresses god as light. evoke. i see this light as the spark of consciousness that encompasses everything people animals and things to you now it confirms that god is everything and that there is only one. god. new. no one knows the interpretation blackguardly the problem isn't ambiguity on the contrary i think these ambiguous readings are an asset and they allow the text to open up the problem more the problem comes when someone thinks ok this is the meaning. of love this is the truth and i'm going to impose it on others the only one pours it is that you read the koran you can't just settle for what other people

say you can listen to them ask questions if you read but in fact you should and sometimes you must but above all you have to take responsibility for your own interpretation. christianity and islam all 3 religions refer to a common patriarch favor. i believe that there are women who are trying to reconcile their faith with. their own human dignity however they can but personally i believe feminism is either secular or it's not especially if we're talking about the more not taste religion's they're very patriarchal all 3 of them i mean women is just so great that islamic feminists have turned arguments for the equality of man and woman in

the qur'an story of creation in syria for verse one god didn't create the woman from the river of the man he created and original so now saying well you detain which is a feminine term in arabic and took muslims from the injustices of their time to do justice of their time it gave women many important right in the part to your post culture of 7th century arabia but at that time the notion of justice didn't include the idea of equality between man and woman because gender equality is a modern concept. how to be larry miller shape or wonder why the. millionaire here rush to marry or why he had. him burnsy unity durbin in a lonely lies easy larry off the rhythm we were all really there will be should be the layer i believe of all. 11 in there who were elated mostly

of. i chose this series of half year off beginning because i love forgiveness a similar problem god created forgiveness in my city even before he was asked for forgiveness among the public. doesn't spend much time in france anymore she left the country because of rising islamophobia and now lives in london. she too sees islam as a source of empowerment for women it's said that mohammed gave dignity back to disenfranchised women. in tree islamic society in arabia women had the same status as animals or possessions they didn't have the right to inherit they were the inheritance you girls were killed at birth then islam came along and said no women must also have the right to inherit that change

in women status back then was revolutionary women with no rights who could be killed and given away became people with the right to inherit property. put simply 0 for verse 11 states that a woman should inherit about half of what a man gets. the reason for the un equal treatment is that women didn't usually bear responsibility for providing for their family. so it was taken for granted that men should be allocated the larger share of an inheritance. so this. the verse says that half the share of inheritance is the guaranteed minimum for women but there's nothing wrong with giving more than that. these days women work they participate. i split expenses with my husband 55 he

was at the moment he is a cold war zones and i pay my taxes like a man simple like any citizen. this is ample is he so is it ethically justifiable through religion that i only get half as much as my parents' inheritance when koran doesn't oppose equality in that situation still force but i said they get no no no no. the qur'an and laus men to have up to 4 wives critics of islam claim this is no such any an instrument of male domination. there are 3 verses that talk about how we can mean the question is what a new sat in this what are titled women and you look at the 1st verse it gives you

the 1st step solution you can marry $1.00 to $4.00 wives so you can't now marry $10.15 it is restricted then you have a 2nd verse that comes and says you have to treat all of these wives equally so you can't just it's not just a maximum you also have to keep in mind justice and equality but then you have a 3rd verse that comes and these folk various went to versailles it's that actually even if you want to be equal god knows that you can't be male in shapiro's or actually x. will look at this verse and say the qur'an gave me the right to marry 4 wives but they don't look at the 2 order verses do you treat them equally even if you claim that you do god says that you can't. the the head scarf for women is one of his limbs most controversial requirements especially in the west that what is the qur'an actually say. and can

feminists wear headscarves. well it also takes to a fantasy we're here in a french context in an environment that is vehemently opposed to the headscarf i am a rebel a militant feminine look i don't want anyone to tell me whether i can wear a headscarf or not. when i'm lucky enough not to be pressured by anyone in my family. my mother was against me wearing one in senegal but i told her that i hadn't asked for her opinion of you so much why would i want to wear it one day and not the next i don't care what people think it's awful. so in the name of gender equality we are now denying a muslim woman to control their own bodies to appear in the public space we are punishing them by excluding them from the schools and now there are people who talk about banning the double so in university we are excluding them from workplaces we are excluding them from nature activities in the minds of right wing movements and

french radicals the canaries they became an obsession. the vast most often used to prescribe the so-called islamic hands graphic to separate. good is a virus that simply says to leave the covering can be used by the female to. look with glee and there for the bad has nothing to do with the requirement to cover their hand. let it. slide in. this melodic minor frame. inside them and i look at what a book occurred on the island. so the one.
