joy. they have confidence and look beyond their family for their role models they find them on the internet social media are also changing room a society europe's largest ethnic minority even so nothing is more important to us if god than family almost every day she takes her nieces and nephews out for a last date who are growing up without a mother a quarter of their walking through was poor but sift says she likes it here the communities tightly knit the people help one another. on. the scene as the morning light. goes. their quarter the mojado plays a big role in this video it's easy for young people to lose their way here as a roma on the edge of society they are to big disadvantage drug use is rampant.
3:46 am
obviously because of the the problem what i wish for most for my quarter or at least what i would change is to get rid of the drugs here. there are lots of kids here and just like their parents i'm worried that they'll come in contact with drugs that it washes and ruin their lives on the joke or the funny my ornish the voice. so for years no you just because done volunteer work for the same social project that launched the girl group she helps the kids with their homework so they'll make it to school. because every herschel space one floor up. they're working on a new song everyone who wants to can join it it's meant to be fun he says as if because best friend sylvia but now far more is at stake fish even want one how girls in this quarter look up to us that's a major responsibility and we have to take it on because we live here together and we're a major role model that's
3:47 am
a large responsibility. we're fighting for equality and against discrimination and we want the same rights as men. it's a big challenge i've got 2 jobs and i'm raising a child that's not easy but if you really want something then anything's possible wash someone at that point i'm like that's the energy that pretty doubt passes on to their fans and who knows maybe one day they'll be really famous. this here is a home where the rich and privileged have lived for hundreds of years the english aristocracy you know they feel very committed to their traditions which include something called male succession that means daughters cannot inherit this in the 21st century well some ladies like charlotte carol poll don't want to put up with that any more. downton abbey fans know the story the
3:48 am
family has 3 daughters but there is a danger that the inheritance will go to a distant male cousin who no knows it is a true story inspired by an ancestor of by counting torrington who is also not the same fate. he has 3 daughters which means his title will also go to a cousin in canada and not to his eldest daughter how to what else can one say but it's was fruitless you know when it would have been noise perhaps a book there will you come to terms with why i came to terms with it quite quickly that that was either how of it's a visit with fullness and this is sort of. kind of sense that isn't it the unfairness that it's been going to canada the other side of the world purely because i'm a girl and my sister's a girl's i mean that seems. extraordinary or any of this is one of the few remaining for women or definite strimmer to go so perhaps it should change.
3:49 am
charlotte's current poll is much more determined to change things and just complaining for a loan that will put an end to this age old grievance in doing so she has caused considerable unrest in english aristocratic circles there is great support there circusy you can look at the popularity of the royal family in town to a happy and like it or not this is the way our society is currently structured and it's going to remain at this for a while so if we do you say that we have to make sure that we don't support gender discrimination within it. sure much comes from a normal middle class family as a young woman she married the son of the 13th baron richard current polls whose ancestral home is in cornwall. but then in 2015 her 1st born was a girl. and the reaction of those around her was different from what she had expected the implication was you could by not having
3:50 am
a son let your family down or. say that you must try again for a better outcome and that better outcome sure but i'm able to say anything because takes a while to her to understand that people still think that still think that way and 2015 the queen had already realized this in 2013. and she changed the line of succession in the royal family. is really treats 1st child had been a girl she would have eventually become queen. but the english don't belittle the not follow suit in 2014 a bill to this effect was rejected by the house of lords that's also to primes women of the ability to hereditary right to a seat here. one of the other men's opposers to change in the law that bars
3:51 am
daughters from becoming hereditary peers is lowered triggered it's extremely complicated. because every period she's created separately i think that there are many people who disagree with the whole notion of inheriting a period anyway i mean is it really sensible to open up a can of worms yes if i think to to to try to modify the peerage to bring something that is not them up to date in some respects runs the risk of damaging what the just a must see it has and its connection with our history. tanya field sees things quite differently without the male right of inheritance she would as the eldest daughter be lady of michael's field and the higher rest of the motive
3:52 am
sherburne castle which now stands empty after only family disputes over inheritance . at age 17 tiny decided to escape to the normal world. she has been living and working as a social worker in one of the pursed corners of oxford ever since her colleagues at the community center you know nothing of her wrist aquatic background. i don't do you know about my background so that you know you think. i might be a mark my father is a no 33 on the microphone i don't. know yes or recently my time they thought i knew . you know m.r. i just come in and i don't think it might fit if he doesn't know you're not feeling . a bit of a show time you have to fake quiet yeah. really been hated study for you know i don't i think if you live in traditional south i would have probably something that
3:53 am
. i would not know. another tippett yeah this is exactly why tanya avoids mentioning her background the title is such means little to her but she does not miss her old life i found generally people fairy inward looking and they were very samey people from the same background so if you had a discussion you could never get a different point of view a few notes and it was really difficult and i know i i like people i really enjoy they are my favorite species that's a fascinating sometimes that but they are always interesting nevertheless is fighting and the complaining against the male rights of inheritance she wants the law to change so she can sit in the house of lords because i think i can make a real impact that. i can bring in really different life experiences. i don't just rip and cut i do it and that gives you
3:54 am
a very different perspective. since they are not sure if they will find enough supports in britain charlotte has also brought their case to the european court of human rights. and we know that we are writing a role that is long and the time has come for this to change. in any case they will not rest until the english are stuck or see agrees to modernize its views on women's rights. wouldn't we wonderful to go to the circus again those high wire act the clowns and the fire because there's always fire well at a time when we are stuck in our homes due to corona lockdowns it would be such a relief and especially for kids while artist and brussels have come up with a magical alternative. behind this bar window it's show time acrobats in brussels have come up with a unique way to perform during the pandemic. the circus is open to passers by with
3:55 am
a little time on their hands. especially the young spectators are fascinated. one child cries oh this is magic. the artists are happy to be close to their audience again. in a completely new form of performance. don't you so much because people's faces are covered with masks we country see the reactions and expressions on top of the glass window muffles the sound. still we managed to connect with our audience yankee sic a the bar owner is also enthusiastic about the windows circus performance and warms my heart that i can open the bar and welcome the performers inside the show put smiles on people's faces which is the best thing that could happen in these times. to help the performers earn a little money the audience make

4:00 am
series slavery routes starts march 10th on g.w. . this is the news line from berlin touched down on mas nasa's robotic science rather reaches the red planet after a 7 month journey perseverance pull drill into the surface collect rocks samples and bring them back to work so scientists can determine where the line once existed on mars also coming up the governor of texas says the state's power plants are back
4:01 am
online after a deadly winter storm triggered widespread after just hundreds of thousands of tons still lack electricity. and the humanitarian emergency on europe's doorstep thousands of refugees are stranded in desperate conditions in both mia will take a look at what europe is doing to help. a math and how broken of the short nasa space robot perseverance has safely touched down on the surface of mars the 1st signals would be to back to with shortly after the probe landed. that was the jubilant scene earlier at nasa's mission control as the tank confirmed the successful landing and this is what it looks like the 1st image sent back from
4:02 am
this mission for miles about 418000000 kilometers away a 7 month journey was followed by what so. cold 7 minutes of terror when the private security that they have a good landing maneuver without the help from earth a robotic vehicle will make history by collecting samples of martian soil which will be brought back to earth that could help scientists to turn on if life once existed on the red planet earth well joining me now from washington they say is esther biologist and journalist cal and kate an exciting day how difficult was this landing well they've done something like this before but it was difficult when they did it the 1st time and it was equally just difficult this time but you know as you just showed it laid it exactly where it was supposed to land and the 1st thing it did was send back pictures. incredibly nessus curiosity rover has been operating
4:03 am
since 2012 on models what can the new one find out that the old one couldn't. well it's interesting since i'm talking to a german television imagine of looks wagon beetle from like 15 years ago and one you could buy today similar shape for wheels gets you from point a to b. but if you look at what's under the hood it has much more scientific instrumentation and the earlier version better wheels better tires better sound system the whole thing and it sort of the inspiration for this keep you a fairly john grunsfeld who was the head of nasa science at the time where they wanted to build upon these lessons so to your question how difficult was it a little bit less in that they knew kind of what would happen and what might happen right for the 1st time in history of spice life of this time nasa and the european scientists plan to bring moss and rocks back to with how do we get the samples back . as the kids say these days it's complicated this rover is going to drive around
4:04 am
to do some science and then send that information back to us while it's also going to be drilling to the surface and over the next couple of years at a collect a series of little tubes that they will then put you know location and weight and then europe and america will launch a another mission to mars which will land nearby but a day european rover will drive really fast read those samples bring it back to the american rocket which will launch into orbit and then another spacecraft that europe ascent will meet up with it where the samples and bring them back to earth if it sounds complicated it is going to say that sounds simple enough they've the big question when will we know if there is evidence of life on mars. well there's 2 ways you could get that answer one is if some of the instrumentation that's on this rover finds evidence that there had been life on mars and again the lineages are a crater which is very much like locations on earth where you could find fossils that
4:05 am
are upwards of 34000000000 years old so it would be straight for if those fossils on earth were mars this rover would find them and it would probably be pretty definitive that something living had been there now is there currently life in mars this rover might stumble over it but some of the future rovers age of that but the samples that we bring back may give additional answers so it's sort of a step wise process will learn something in the next couple of years but then it depends on how fast we get all those other complicated pieces to mars and back to probably be towards the end of this decade as their biologist and journalist cowing thanks so much. and looking at some other world news now. spanish cities are seeing a 3rd night of unrest as anger grows over the rest of rap a public house of the protests began on tuesday night after he was jailed for tweets and lyrics that prosecutors say glorified terrorism and slanted the monarchy demonstrators say his conviction is an attack on free speech. area druggy has

cleared the final hurdle to become italy's new prime minister druggy won a confidence vote in the lower house after already being approved by the senate a day earlier the former european central bank chief now has to lead italy out of the devastation caused by the pandemic. germany is born to run that it's put playing with fire by violating the nuclear deal german foreign minister accused tehran of jeopardizing the return of the us to the deal to trump administration with withdrew from it in 20. governor of texas said that all of the state's power plants are back online after a deadly winter storm caused massive disruptions this week. abbott said he would have launched if it's to make sure such power outages never happen again barbara forming the agency that manages the state's electricity supply but hundreds of thousands of hands remain without energy because of downed power lines and other
4:07 am
issues the lack of power has interrupted water supplies for more than 13000000 texans critics say the state has failed to prepare its power grid for the extreme cold. let's bring in journalist jenny hoff from austin texas this emergency situation has been going on now for 5 days how are people like you coping at this point. well it's definitely been a long slog for a lot of people especially those who lost power 5 days ago and they were told it was only going to be about 45 minutes or an hour because of a rolling blackout it ended up being 5 days during the coldest weather we've ever experienced or we've experienced in 120 years and for the longest duration and so now as you mentioned a lot of people are getting their power back on but just down the street from me i got a message from somebody who says they lost their power a few minutes ago so clearly they're still outages happening as you mentioned
4:08 am
downed power lines and other issues but now the really big issue is water so water treatment facilities especially the biggest one in austin is no longer functioning flights of 1st there's that overconsumption and people are going out into the snow with buckets filling their bats up with that snow boiling it now that they have power they can boil it in order to drink it in order to cook with it so it's a incredible situation that we're facing this is unprecedented i've been reporting here for more than 15 years we've never seen anything like this but i will say the community has really come together so texas is very neat really and neighbors who have you know calls that can get on these roads have been out delivering water firewood food transporting those who are most vulnerable to homes that have or still people are opening up their homes so it's definitely been a crisis situation that the community has come together with but people are tired they want to see the state take action they want to see this resolved and they want to get back to their normal lives i guess they also want an answer as to why the
4:09 am
texas power grid has been unable to cope with the severe weather. absolutely and the texas governor says he will be launching an investigation into that whether they winterized properly which is showing it probably didn't we knew this cold front was coming in a couple of weeks ago we've been talking about it so there was definitely time to prepare but we've got kind of the perfect storm that happened we had this under preparation we had these long stretch of freezing temperatures and then on top of that you have all of the different sources of energy freezing up in the pipes so coal natural gas some wind turbines are freezing up so the power is not able to get to the grid which is what caused the problem and in fact the agency who runs the power grid which by the way is separate from the rest of the country the rest of the country is on 2 national grids texas has its own grid but the agency that runs this great says if they would not shut power off when they did for as long as they did we were minutes away from losing power in the state for months so it's
4:10 am
definitely a lot of questions need to be answered there is going to be i'm sure a big shake up within that agency and hopefully answers will come in the coming weeks just quickly jamie ted cruz has been on the 5 heading south to mexico away from the cult has serious as the backlash against him there's definitely been an out war on social media people are very angry now he's not the one in charge of manicuring situation it's the governor and mayors but he's still a federal representative that for the state and to leave to mexico while everybody else has that power and water was a huge political blunder and he's admitted it now so he has returned to texas how drastic the repercussions of that decision will be for him i guess we'll find out at the next election jenny hoff in austin texas thanks so much things. the european union's migration commissioner has travelled to bosnia as border with croatia in an attempt to resolve a worsening humanitarian crisis the e.u.
