if you would like. that you should really check out our. public. opinion.

well. you could join us last month pakistan's president approved. this in a country with a poor record. victims hesitate to come forward to avoid. the new law also provides for speedy trials in special courts but it's the punishment of chemical castration that's dividing opinion. it's son has been living and sleeping with his family for weeks on the grounds of the hospital in lahore pakistan his son's i mean has been here for months he was gang raped and then shot this sadly is not uncommon the perpetrators now face chemical castration by order of the courts. we would be satisfied with such a punishment we don't want such brutal men to be able to rape ever again if words could change the situation there would already be a change in the society without real punishment such people will not change that is

why they must be punished. in pakistan following a presidential decree can now be punished with chemical castration. in this process the convicted person is given drugs that take away potency and libido. these return when the drug is discontinued at the end of the sentence but many medical professionals are wary of the possible side effects. one of the most important is that they do sing the bone density and all the. fresh. fruits and it also causes depression and suicidal thoughts in muslim pakistan rape stigmatizes the victim as well as the perpetrator and his family suffer adarsh of it is also feeling this her son is in prison charged with

rape he's threatened with chemical castration the widow firmly believes in his innocence he should be earning money for the family besides a few relatives no one talks to the mother anymore. chemical castration is a brutal punishment my son is already a goner and now possibly this is inhumane punishment i wanted to marry him off soon but how can he have a family now i had so wished that he would have children but now none of that will come true. in pakistan a person is raped every 2 hours it's often a demonstration of power through sex last year there are more than 3 times as many cases as the year before the government is under pressure and wants to look like it's doing something. strongly believe that there is a need for such

a long if we punish some perpetrators like this it will send a clear signal to everyone else. it will have a positive impact on the whole of society. as a. lawyer robbie a bunch of aa is a volunteer representing xylene the boy who was raped and shot for years she has fought to ensure rapists were properly convicted. i don't think so i don't think they are estranged is a solution because there is also the death penalty for rapist in pakistan so deterrent laws are already in place but they're not applied. evenly. in the last 5 years no one has been sentenced to death for rape in pakistan. impoverished family waits outside the hospital for the boy to recover from his injuries and for the perpetrators to finally be punished. let's get more on this from bemused driver and from the shura british group to see

you how much support is there in pakistan for chemical castration as punishment for rape. actually it is being seen as a populist move the pressure on the government has been mounting due to several deep instance last theo especially the mordovia case in which woman was raped alongside jordan 5 to forget this case was reported internationally their government wanted to show their see justice and but in this case without any consultation with the civil society or with the parliament to get nickel castration has been introduced of course fiction frustration can cause crimes like rape but i've spoken to many activists in pakistan and discussed this issue and most of them believe that in countries like pakistan it's primarily a crime to show a woman as weak and defenseless it's also associated with shame and lost or no and

therefore chemically castrate thing few men and reducing the sexual drive and not just the underlying reasons why women are raped in pakistan or what or when we talk about conviction pockets and already had a dismal record in relation to real cases so how does this provision of chemical castration or the new ordinance in general change that. yeah the convicts the conviction rate of i think pakistan is around 3 to 5 percent which is quite low box and under he has a baby strict laws that it's got a capital punishment it's the implementation of the laws that is the problem i give you an example for example that is a line by the standard say is that any day of it has to be dissolved within that time frame of 3 months to one year but it hardly happens. at the end it's the implementation of the law is that this problem also there needs to be an understanding and sensitivity among very male dominated judiciary and the police

also says i did i did it's need to change activists say that if i was any government is c.d.'s about protecting its women from rape if it should start from the grassroots level a culture should be promoted better women are treated as equals and we would be a woman i respected and all to not only the political leadership but religious scholars who are very influential who have a very influential position and back in his psyche should openly condemned crimes like rape chemical castration and their strict laws cannot change the picture taken mindset and social norms that in garbage crimes like rape so the destruction of such values can help and also implementation of laws can be a solution just legally speaking been issued how does this provision the provoking about help reflect in the baucus on given that it's already extremely hard for them to come forward to even report a crime in the 1st place. yeah it isn't under reported crime in pakistan it's

a country of 200000000 people and roughly around 5000 cases. just each year there are many of the isms why evil men wouldn't come forward and report 3 of its 2nd ever defend. issue but often many do you sense one of the reasons is the very intrusive and humiliating fingo by genetic tests which actually decently being banned by the government and also by a provincial court. anyone in pakistan who report straight has to go through the steps in which a medical officer would insert 2 fingers into of a woman's body to assess her past sexual activity and if the test say is that the woman had been axed. thankfully active in the past it reconsidered in the court she's looked at with suspicion and also in the past because of this this woman were deferred to. such as you know they were and they were said things i just had to wait it was 6 and woman of easy virtue so the banning of the test is

a step in the right direction and also by a woman judge so it's a step in that article right direction but again the implementation of this ban across pakistan will be a complicated and difficult task to accomplish. leave it there for the farming but thank you so much for joining us. thank you. karen you're up besides health workers older people are on the priority list focused on of us fact scenes but in indonesia younger people a priority the government says it's because they make up the bulk of the country's walk force and their health is essential to the country's economic health a part of the reason is also that but it comes to vaccines if you can see the government only have data from trials conducted in the 18 to 59 year age group for the government that was sufficient to begin vaccination using the chinese made vaccine nearly 2 weeks ago. the 1st shot in tunisia is national

vaccination program president joko widodo getting the jab to inspire confidence among citizens but the plan is already controversial as it prioritises younger people over the elderly even influencers have been put at the front of the line they include recess saraswati a singer and writer who's been vaccinated since last week. so i. along with health protocols vaccination is one of the best solutions to the pandemic had the limited you so i hope that with vaccination people who lost hope last year due to inaction and neglect will regain their excitement. and join the vaccination dr says he would have up on a lot of the. but older people are less than joyous the vaccine hasn't

even been tested on them yet although recent data shows that people over 60 in indonesia are nearly 20 times likelier to die of cove at 19 than young people. it's goring just staying at home when i was only the vaccine will be made available to the elderly soon caught and so that a column will never know i hope that apart from protecting themselves the young people who have been vaccinated that will also protect the elderly and children who have not been vaccinated. the government justifies its vaccination priorities largely on economic grounds. we see that the majority of these young people are those who carry out economic activities in supporting their families they are actors in economic activities so we prioritize those aged 18 to 59. meanwhile the elderly tend not to do activities outside the home

because they are not the backbone of the family's economy. yet the vaccination scheme has sparked debate in the community a story you see i do not agree the reason is because the elderly are the ones who need it more on the other things they do like you agree because there is no vaccine for the elderly. i don't think i agree because the older ones are more vulnerable than young people. and on the health ministry says the elderly can expect to start being vaccinated in march or april when the biotech pfizer and astra zeneca oxford vaccines arrive. and that's it for today there's more on our website i did have a dot com full of pleasure for you sure we leave you today with the video of a cuddly panda cub at the zoo in south korea that's gone viral as you'll see sick. month old a fool well just can't get enough of a catfish. we're back to more records 11 but.

in the arts world today streaming events online have become the norm the pm here in berlin has just posted to shoot it week for the 3rd year running this time with no live audiences thoughts non-participants could watch and listen in live the whole idea was the brainchild of the american lyric baritone thomas hampson who coaches young students starting out on their careers and all using the works of the great master song from schubert. oh i hear thomas hampson fine tunes a signature technique in a workshop. i was saying to my young colleagues in cross is that it's not really

about us singing it it is always about. the story of capital oss of course with over $600.00 songs that's a lot of stories. for 6 days thomas hampson transformed the pierre boulez southern central berlin into a laboratory for schubert's leader he's one of the best contemporary singers of opera and leto born in the united states he now lives in switzerland and as a passionate teacher here in berlin he helped the singers from around the world find their way to shoot but the essence of hubert. i hope it doesn't sound too simple but to me the inner life of human beings. was astounding in 18141815 when he literally changed the law inscribed slimes cape of of german song song in general. who. for

hampson schubert's great talent was his skill at expressing inner state such as happiness jealousy and love through music this is kid of until into sheerly 2nd time taking part in hampton workshop she's from georgia and is now under contract at the start see how to cut. some of them since i got thomas hampson is a very good teacher which not all world famous singers are i was really very pleasantly surprised that he's such a sensitive person. as well and since the pla and superman she is. of course him since she got to meet also had to adapt to pandemic restrictions participants had regular antigen tests and had to wear masks there was no audience in the hall but the workshops and concerts were streamed on line and people had to

keep their distance staring away from one another in the singer's world is difficult to teach in from a distance i was admonished might live this afternoon and it's all well and good which are to close. on one of the evenings the master himself sang but. an undisputed highlight of the berlin schubert. thomas hampson the cliche it was reassuring to see that even someone like thomas. gets nervous during a concert and that it's ok. thomas hampson is not only a great artist but also an inspiring teacher. you

need say holds a doctorate in international law she's also a successful author with her writing style compared to that of ray bradbury she can now most probably have lists of talents syria or perhaps profit 12 years ago she wrote a novel called the method all about it dystopian future in a fictional country with a health dictatorship where health is literally everything an interesting premise right now. what if you never had to get sick again and never had to have another cold let alone a heart attack stroke cancer no parkinson's no all timers tell me pretty great right even if it meant making a few lifestyle changes. and.

the method by you would see is about a future in which people's physical wellbeing is the top priority but there are rules everyone has to stay inside sterilized zones and do their exercise and no one is allowed to drink smoke or sleep with anyone there's a new system is not compatible. a regime called the method monitors its citizens to make sure they comply the system seems perfect in its rationality but 24 year old moritz once more he wants emotion and excitement and freedom. unlike an animal i can rise above the compulsions of nature i can have sex without wanting to reproduce i can decide to take substances that unchained me from my body and allow me temporarily to be free i can disregard my survival instincts and place myself in danger for nothing more than the challenge and the thrill. to be human it isn't

enough to exist if there exist mean simply being here in this world man must experience his existence through pain or intoxication through failure after more it's framed for murder possibly by the regime his sister mia fall into a depression she finds herself rebelling choosing personal freedom over a life of health and security the consequences are brutal you would say is this topi in page turner is about a nanny state taken to the extreme the regime in the method is horrible and oppressive but it may still have you wondering how much would you be willing to sacrifice for perfect health. the czech conscious patrick proscar works in a variety of autistic disciplines from painting to ceramics and as a sculpture and the sculptures you're about to see are also illusions he creates

'd 'd these images play with press but 3 d. becomes to. various elements fused together into a picture of the writer friends kafka an animalistic portrait. so anamorphic comes from greek and means something like reshaped. and i thought at 1st the image appears distorted and takes shape only when you change your perspective all of the viewer has to occupy a certain place in the room to see the intended result. check artist patrick crush goes specializes in such illusions is an amorphous art works can be several meters across and take up entire room. muster portraits of famous checks here we

see the founder of the multinational footwear company. the largest. one of my latest works. all the animal fix sculptures you see here are made up of objects that have some connection to the subject. so this is in fact a portrait of tom. made entirely of shoes. for weeks prasco collected around 200 shoes worn out shoes and scraps of fabric and leather to assemble the many elements he needed for his piece. it's one of the most challenging sculptural techniques i know what. not only do the objects have to have something to do with the subject they also have to be of a particular size so they can fit into

a certain place in the work. and they have to have the right color since i also use them to modulating light and shade i need just the right color and an absolutely compatible shape of the 1st name. like a brush stroke the work is based on a photo of. this pile of lamps and other electronics conceals a portrait of nikola tesla the great pioneer of electrical engineering. it takes patrick about 2 months to complete a project like this. precise sense of visual proportion is vital when assembling the elements. when i do a portrait of a world famous figure i really have to be exact right down to the millimeter for that person to be recognizable in the end. so i've always got to be checking to be

sure it's right i have to go to the viewer spot and check everything again and again. if you eat element is not in just the right place the portrait could become a kind of caricature. patrick prasco exhibits sculptures in the illusion art museum in the old town of the czech capital project. the exhibition center piece is dedicated to the country's most famous composer for sure . the other side of this cunning double portrait made of musical instruments and sheet music to pick between. it's a sculpture that can be viewed from all sides not just one. the subject continuously

changes. it's a truly 3 dimensional artwork and definitely one of my most complex. patrick brush though is constantly searching for new raw materials for his unique portraits who knows what he'll come up with next. finally today it's 10 years since protesters gathered in tahrir square and car at the beginning of egypt's arab spring the song leave by musician rami became the anthem of the uprising but resulted in his arrest and. 10 years on in exile in sweden performed again at a concert risked we'll have an interview with him in a couple of weeks but for now here he is in concert by. only in the is
