decades of deployment in afghanistan international troops were set to pullout in april this year that was an agreement made with the government in kabul and the taliban but with the country's security situation still unstable that's no longer likely to happen peace talks have proved slow progress large parts of afghanistan are under taliban control many experts fear the government would succumb to pressure from the islamist group should foreign soldiers pull out of the country terror attacks like the recent murder of 2 female judges have left many here fearing the worst. we're out and about in kabul with. the city is one of the most dangerous places in the world the taliban carry out attacks practically every day women journalists and judges are gunned down in the street no one feels safe. the 26 year old still drives her car

1:35 am
from the taliban who say you. yoga is an islamic and afghan women should not be doing exercise anyway. but these women are not frightened away by the threats and for him on task refuses to be intimidated. by me i am. here to quote show afghan women want to decide for themselves what jobs they do. they want to decide what they learn where they travel and who may marry. afghan women want to determine their own futures. and afghan women are not just same as the ones the taliban faced 20 years ago we saw the ship at least. the only way to stop us is to kill us. in need you know every lunchtime mom tells cooks at home with her family her 5 children and her husband support the 43 year old's work

her mother is also proud of the fact that her daughter is well known even beyond the borders of afghanistan. but the yoga teacher only agrees to be filmed at home or in the yoga studio and not out on the street. we had arranged to meet her once before a year ago but then she suddenly received death threats from the taliban and had to close her studio temporarily. can't that eva one of my session or some other very prominent religious people began to comment on our work. than i had time for toys and on our photos. but as a well known declared jihad holy war on os x. i got mad that i make sank it on a photo on the wall shows for doing yoga exercises as a child yoga has become

stay open there is a lot at stake for afghan women at the moment never in the last 20 years has their freedom been so it rests. 2980000000000 tons worth of coal mined globally most was used to fuel the world's 2500 power stations. many buildings are still heated with furnace is and coal is still a common fuel used for cooking but the consequences are disastrous according to the w.h.o. every year around the globe around 7000000 people die from exposure to polluted air . and coal burning is also playing havoc with our climate. kyrgyzstan's capital bishkek is notorious for its smog 'd on some winter days even merely breathing in the local air can be hazardous.
1:39 am
coal is selling like hotcakes in the city of bishkek winter temperatures into. capital average minus 6 degrees celsius coal is an essential good because homes in the suburbs aren't connected to the city's central heating network. people buy a lot of these sometimes 20 bags at once. you can see there are private houses all around here and they all heat with coal. bishkek made headlines several times this winter for being the number one most polluted city according to an international air quality ranking people here say the smog is a problem every year in the cold season. is just they are in bishkek that the skies like this when you leave the city the skies clear. the negligence of the government and public officials no one is monitoring the
1:40 am
situation and the smog is a direct consequence of that if you are good i think it's just fog it's definitely because of the winter season it can't really be pollution were there the view from above the city tells a different story lies in a valley and smaug covers it like a lead. authorities admit they don't know why the pollution is this bad the country's prime minister recently said the city's mainly coal powered heating plant could be responsible for up to 20 percent of the missions the government looked into switching to gas but declared gas prices to be too high for now even representatives from the public utilities are pushing for change. these problems need to be solved on a governmental level. i think that instead of worrying about the economy the health of our citizens should be the top priority because the smog particles go straight into our lungs and can cause respiratory diseases which are very dangerous. these
1:41 am
air quality sensors regularly show that the concentration of cancerous particles in the air is several times higher. they are than the norm and nongovernmental foundation has been having them installed on private homes since the end of last year there are now $25.00 monitors up and running in and around bishkek. people are tired of living with this it's the 4th year the smog situation is like this and there's no solution in sight the 1st year the authorities totally ignored the situation and said the air is actually fine but now they can't ignore the problem anymore by installing these monitoring devices giving people the possibility to complain to the government about their quality. but environmental activists feel the city authorities are all talk and no action they're protesting against the city's latest urban planning projects they say new buildings are blocking the wind and locking the small inside the city. these projects are only in
1:42 am
the interest of the construction of the building contractors. in other countries they would have declared an emergency situation by now but here they just pretend nothing is wrong when you put the. government environmental and safety inspectors regularly check the boilers in the city and the quality of the coal they use today they're inspecting the heater at a local school even many public institutions still heat with coal. ordinary people will kill heating with coal that is the most cost effective way. we can't ban the use of coal in the winter people have to live they have to cook. once everyone has access to a gas connection into an affordable electricity supply there won't be smog here anymore. but kyrgyzstan's gas provider the russian
1:43 am
company raised prices 2020 and economic difficulties driven by the coronavirus pandemic mean many people just can't afford to switch to gas so for now the move away from coal and this layer of smaug fields far off. the effects of climate change are all focus in this week's global ideas too in the philippines that becoming increasingly noticeable. islands are home to 100000 people many of whom i know living through fishing with the local ecosystem changing fishermen are being forced to adapt and that's not.
1:44 am
well i've been fishing for a long time for more than 25 years and. it's been raining since midnight it's too dangerous to take the boat out. but we fishermen have observed how the weather has changed the strong easterly winds that we see right now should have passed by now. but it's possible they'll continue until notch one that's when they stop last year the weather no longer follows the usual pattern. the rainy season used to engine january and february used to be one of the driest months of the year climate change has changed all that fishermen have to be very attuned to the weather and notice every shift in deviation. collin severin you know has 4 children to have already
1:45 am
left home his wife jocelyn tells us they have managed to raise a family even if food that is fish has sometimes been scarce. i'm going to have to move on. now that's what we get from the sea. and a source of income. that we were able to send our children to school that i was so you know. and i'm very proud of that. my husband and i never went to school but it just wasn't possible. you know. later in the morning the weather improved. calling someone you know soon caught 2 large fish he'll sell the red snapper. it weighs more than 5 kilos.
