women are in charge. of the archipelago has a patriarchal system for centuries. of society. differently than. what you did with words. and sustainable this culture. that includes the right. starts more adjacent. to the good. welcome to global street thousands. this week we had to kick a stone the capital bishkek is struggling to get a handle on at pollution. in the philippines climate change is casting a shadow over the lives of fishing families. but 1st we had to afghanistan to meet

some strong women determined to hold on to their rights. after 2 decades of deployment in afghanistan international troops was set to pull out 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 of proof 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 so just pull out of the country terror attacks like the recent murder of 2 female judges have left many here fearing the worst. were 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 herself but the businesswoman and model knows that she could become a target. first i'm frightened of the security situation has deteriorated so much it's become much more dangerous to drive through kabul especially for women if we leave our car somewhere we're afraid that they'll attach magnetic bombs to them there are attacks everywhere and we're afraid of being kidnapped. but gonna stand as a nation at war even city street suffer trolled by heavily armed forces and anyone traveling across the country past us military vehicles and checkpoints. only able to film them from the car because the soldiers also fear revel the tax. shut up never think is on the street long things have to be quick. she's

afghanistan's best known model and appears before the camera without a veil. she embodies the attitude to life of modern young afghan women. doctors made a name for herself as an influencer and has 223000 followers on instagram. the photos convey an image of women that is unacceptable to the taliban in recent months in particular she's received repeated death threats. afghanistan is at a crossroads and that worries han. test muslim about i fear that if the taliban join the government will lose everything that we've achieved over the last few years in this country i studied abroad i came back to open a business model what if we lose our freedom again and we women are forced to stay at home again then i'll have to leave my country. on sunday.

practically nothing can be taken for granted in kabul and most certainly not a yoga class. on turks once to help women achieve in a balance in a country that has been at war for 5 decades. in 2016 for here montages opened her own yoga studio despite much resistance in particular from religious fanatics now she has more than 100 female students an afghan success story part of might have to pass what i practice yoga has no connection with social traditions here other years i'm more concerned with seeing what people need awesome yoga i showed them yoga and these people really need your gothic and yes. the women stretching on their yoga mats today are students

office workers homemakers and all rather courageous. the yoga studio continues to receive threats from the taliban who say 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 i'm tired refuses to be intimidated. on the high and now here to coach 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 nice. back the only way to stop us is to kill us. you know every lunchtime mom turns 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. there and that eva on her my sash and also men and very prominent religious people began to comment on our work. so. i had to fight for it and on our photos. there's a well known declare jihad holy war on us it's angle map that i make sang it to the a.t.m. . a photo on the wall shows for us doing yoga exercises as

a child yoga has become a family ritual she practices with her mother every day. the 73 year old likes to be inspired by new ideas. in the center of kabul. recently opened her own store she's the boss and his stuff. the influencer model and business woman has created her own fashion label she has seized the opportunities that have opened up for women over the past 20 years for her western involvement in afghanistan has been a success story she says a complete pullout of u.s. troops would be a very bad idea is that i'm all. i think now would not be a good time for the americans to leave. that all the situation we currently face is just totally uncertain. the americans should at least stay until everything is

sorted. jefferson. knows that what happens in the coming months will decide whether her beauty can 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. 2908000000000 tonnes worth of coal mined globally most was used to fuel the world's 2500 power stations. many buildings are still heated with furnaces 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 $7000000.00 people died from exposure to polluted air. and coal burning is also playing havoc with our climate. stands capital bishkek is notorious for its smog on some winter days even merely

breathing in the local air can be hazardous. 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. the 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 a whim bishkek that the skies like this when you leave the city the skies clear.

it's just the negligence of the government and public officials no one is monitoring the 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 contrary to the pollution we're here the view from above the city tells a different story bishkek lives in a valley and smaug covers it like a lead care gives 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 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 and particles go

straight into our lungs and can cause respiratory diseases which are very dangerous . these 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 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 blocking the small inside the city. these projects are only in the interest of the construction of the building contractors and big. though 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 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 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. and the effects of climate change. in the philippines they're becoming increasingly noticeable. motives islands are home to 100000 people many of whom and they're living. with the local ecosystem changing fisherman being forced to adapt and that's not.

in the. 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. we fishermen have observed how the weather has changed. the strong easterly winds that we see right now should have passed by you know. 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. kannan 7 you know has 4 children 2 have already left home his wife jocelyn tells us they have managed to raise a family even if food that is fish has sometimes been scarce. on the hand. that's what we get from the sea. and a source of income. that we were able to send our children to school so that most of you know i knew i want money and i'm very proud of that. my husband and i never went to school but it just wasn't possible. 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.

on a good day he catches 15 kilos of fish the family always keeps a portion and sells the rest to others in the neighborhood. before the pandemic he used to sell to a trader who supplied large markets it was profitable but the markets are closed for now his neighbors can't pay those kind of prices just an uncertain you know does the bookkeeping. when they have money to spare she deposits it with the savings club. and the savings. on what i should know the savings club is like a bank for us. we don't have a bank on our island but when the savings so we came up with this. so that people

can learn how to save money not me but. most people when people are live from fishing. there's not much else to do here. the local savings club was set up 4 years ago. and official from the municipality looks after the money the club has $400.00 members the deposits currently amount to the equivalent of about 8 and a half 1000 euros. we meet once a week. and that's when our members bring their money. some deposit 20 pesos others 40 a few even 50. of these. 20 pesos is a 3rd of a euro it will buy you a bottle of water and that's all some people can put aside after a week's work they would probably have even less were it not for efforts to protect

the island's coastal waters from overfishing in 2005 marine protected areas were established where no fishing is allowed and the fish can breed in peace. impede our volunteers patrol the coast around the clock. this is their guard post. and. these protected areas have made a big difference. for stocks we're doing going here but since 2005 they've been increasing. these areas have really improved the situation for the fishermen but. the german environment ministries international climate initiative is supporting the fishing communities efforts to help themselves. suzanne qatar yo heads the municipalities disaster relief unit she helped set up

the protected area. n.p.r. we experienced so mainly changes maybe that's the. cost of climate change like the sea labor the ariz extreme heat. and heavy rain fall and the chorus of frequent occurrence for. its evening and the 7 you know family are preparing supper. on the menu fish of course with lemon grass tomatoes and chili and rice. i boil some water in it. when i add the vegetables. and then the fish. i let it cook for a while. but i don't let it cook. that.

the 2 daughters who still live at home have been studying climate change at school . they understand how it's affecting life here. it's a big problem for my father and makes me really sad that i have about it so hard out there on the water and then he might not even catch a single fish i feel sorry for him he works really hard i have but still sometimes comes home empty handed are. the 7 years can only hope for good weather and calm seas life is tough and getting tougher on the commodious.

children. it's. one giant problem and when you're in the mood to see the beat you. even read a very thin blue if you can't believe. how well climate change affected us and our children. e.w. dot com slash water. for restaurants everywhere the coronavirus knockdowns have been a disaster. they've been unable to welcome guests for months. the tables are empty a study of 60000 restaurants worldwide shows that customer numbers are full and by more than 50 percent on average as a result of restriction measures home delivery has become the main source of income for the gastronomy sector and some chefs have come up with even more in time seeing solutions. superman concept happy but known as it is

a perfectionist the chef is preparing scallops filet of beef and truffle resulted for just 6 guests they'll be coming to his place for dinner. when he still has had hosting private dennis 6 years ago he was one of the 1st in bangkok to do so. the pandemic has boosted business during the lockdown last spring art remodeled his home. we know have 3 different areas the dining room living room and the kitchen so the guests have more options they can watch as cook or if it's a family they can play with their children in the living room or enjoy a wine tasting during dinner or your. guests are met at the door with a thermometer and disinfectant timer and so a brief surge in cases of kevin 19 in early february the precautions are still called for for those who can afford it a private dinner hosted by a celebrated chef is just the thing if you're safer here than in

a restaurant because we come into contact with far fewer people. we don't know each other i can trust this place. but they have across town another chef is at the market period press sam 9 a saint is buying vegetables fish and he's preparing an 8 course meal for forecasts he too hosts dinners at home st worked at a gourmet restaurant until much last year then he lost his job when the lockdown started now he and a friend cook at home. and nobody tells me what to do but if you don't get out of bed early in the morning you're lost. as your own boss you really need a lot of self-discipline. about me to be a premium i couldn't how many. saints and his friend plan told us not

to call their business chef next door they say they ventured out of their comfort zone to try something new the pandemic left them no choice. cooking for guests at home was the obvious thing. no extra rent to pay no need for fresh care. it's more like a restaurant we know in advance how many people we have to shop for so we hardly have to throw away and if. they offer a set menu and change it every month it costs the equivalent of 45 euros a head which isn't cheap by bangkok standards but there's no shortage of guests the 2 chefs suffocating optimistic. back to its place time to add some truffle to the resort or. here the menu costs 125 euros drinks extra.

that despite the high price he too has plenty of eager customers. since the pandemic started my guests want even more privacy many say there shouldn't be any other party here when they're there and we should only serve their table. can certainly cook up a storm a refined storm of course and these businessmen evidently savor every morsel. joining the lockdown couldn't see any friends or go out for dinner. if you can afford it you know reward yourself with a private dinner in an intimate atmosphere. for. guests sometimes have to wait 3 months to get a reservation bangkok has long been
