many dallas. had. a difficult him in the head. ignored yet it didn't like that. well. to quote on all can all it cannot lead by woman can you with the germany and at the end when the brits unburden him from you. as a prophet. and. a few of your buds who come. while women provide the bulk of work as caregivers looking after the young the old and the sick in germany most nurses are women and

they often earn significantly less than their male colleagues did have you spent time with some nurses to learn more about their experiences during the pandemic. here in the hospital there is a strict protocol when it comes to putting on your protective clothing but for cuts been back a it has become a routine she is one of the many female nurses who have been pushing the limits day and night for you know taking care of corona virus patients. as i think about it a bit as if the physical strain is an enormous working in this kind of is exhausting but the psychological component plays a big role too we always have to take care of critically ill patients that's part of our job but now we have seriously ill patients can also endanger us and it's really stressful and. stressful is also how hammond would

describe her last year she it works as a nurse in an old people's home in perth in a pandemic made her job even harder and again the burden of caring for society's elderly falls mainly on women. luckily men i increasingly interested in being and my husband does also work but otherwise it's mainly women probably because of the pay if it were a male domain then women would also a very different set of aries last for. more than 90 percent of the people fighting the daily battles on the nursing front are women and they are up to 10 percent less than their male counterparts according to the german federation of trade unions the chances of promotion are slim and they often are white nights hammon says she appreciated the gesture when people around germany stood at their windows at the beginning of the pandemic and applaud at the nation's nasa's and

carrots but it was no more than a gesture now she says women also need to play a role in changing how society treats them it would mean for the for. my wish for women in this profession is that they stop putting themselves down and that people are aware of their contribution people need to understand that we're not just not clean and the kitchen wife is that the world only goes around when we all work together as a team for that one of us can't get by without the other doesn't i now for one and in a non english. the time bagenal is there too after work she likes to go for a walk in the woods to switch off to it is important to support people who work and care for and i would. come on and public life as i am grown up may be here to stay and we need to develop strategies we need enough staff enough equipment and whatever else it takes to help us do our jobs. for all of us here as i told.

both nurses are agreed these improvements have to come and they have to come soon. well many women have also been at the forefront of scientific research that is critical in the fight against covert 19 we're joined now by professor marilyn i don't she's the medical director for infectious diseases at the university clinic in humber dr otto it's good to have you with us on the w. you research infectious diseases and you also lead efforts to develop vaccines including we should say a covert 1000 vaccine can you tell us what the past year has been like for you well it's been that a whirlwind year not only for me but for everybody involved in the commission in your in your piece here and also in science that we have made accomplishments and shut science and as has never been seen before and sounds been like an exhausting year but it's also there's also been an exciting year say for me my team what we

learned from the pandemic how is it highlighted the need for example for more diversity in gender equality as well in science and medicine. well i guess some just condemn it as they put the finger on on the moons and society or like us bases shown as bacon points where there is inequality legs though there has there's been a big media attention on our why do we have so few female experts in front of the cameras and the talk shows that you know it really only reflects the reality we could want us all if you know who is invited to these kind of expert droughns it's usually often oftentimes an professed us and so on which of the religion you know that my university also in medicine there are only 20 percent or less that's all between 20 and 30 so it's you know it shows what it really blocks a light and many many various areas and you can learn some of them in your pieces

already what where we stand so that there is a lack of diversity on many levels and joining in society what are the underlying reasons for that doctor i don't know what are the barriers that women face when they want to pursue pursue a career in science or medicine. well we have to say that they are we have there have been many many accomplishments made over time so we have more women there are more programs i don't know when i have to mentor a lot of union scientists and i think that the critical most critical time is a time like child rearing where you're small children and the systems in place and also the pressures this is where oftentimes people drop off and and don't continue the careers like in the medicines for instance we have more women who start studies and when it comes to kind of leadership positions it's less than 30 percent so somewhere along the way either the pressures on the structures are not good enough to keep people engaged and also i think we don't have enough role models so i think

the more or less we have and the more people. show it can be done and the more success that will see there and we have also in science successes to be cherished and to sell a bit last year we had 2 female noga laureates and so it you know we have made progress but it's not enough so what do you think needs to be done specifically to address some of those pressures and structures that you mentioned there and also to create better role models. well you know really i think having mentoring programs and who really have a building that works for women is only one big piece that could be can contribute but then also now institutions so it's starts with the language. of of gendering or. we have meetings at times that are not going to see the 2. legged male or female piano so i think we have probably need and them speaking

about my area probably need more complex ability in it work hours or support but it's also not only the external. factors we also have to empower young women to actually also to dare to speak up to find a passion to pursue i oftentimes also hear that it's in some other people's heads that they don't leech more of what is there so i think there's several points where we can improve upon an important message for there from dr maryland medical director for infectious diseases at hamburg university thanks again so much for joining us on t w it's been my pleasure. now to some other headlines from around the world in thailand 3 protest leaders have been denied bail and transferred to prison that comes after they were charged with insulting the country's powerful monarchy during anti-government protests last year this latest protest movement in thailand has campaigned for reforms to the monarchy and for changes to the constitution.

hong kong's leader carrie lam says the city's government fully welcomes proposed changes to its electoral system the move will increase beijing's control over hong kong politics and exclude china critics hong kong has in recent months a crackdown on dissent and most opposition figures are in jail or in exile. and pope francis has concluded his historic trip to iraq and is returning to the vatican today the pope brought a message of peace and forgiveness urging iraq's dwindling christian community to stay in the country and help rebuild after years of war and persecution the search is on for survivors after a series of powerful explosions in equitorial guinea at least 20 people were killed hundreds more have been injured the blasts tore apart a military base in the country's most populous city residential areas near the base were also obliterated trapping people under rubble. the country's foreign minister

has called for international assistance. panic confusion and flight and the city of the largest neck with oriel getting residents are in shock over the disaster that struck in their midst. we don't know don't know what caused this. let me don't know what happened i don't really know there was a fire and. according to the government dynamite exploded in the city's military barracks setting off a series of blasts that left few buildings and bata undamaged. completely. different from. the situation in the city of bata is that there were a couple of blasts during this afternoon. and they have cost the loss of several human lives. as well as substantial material damage.

and flattened neighborhoods survivors are pulled from the rubble. they're brought to hospitals suddenly overwhelmed with people injured by the multiple explosions. over half of equitorial guinea's 1400000 inhabitants live in bhatta the powerful blast have shaken not just the city but the entire country. more protesters have been reported killed in myanmar 2 men died at a demonstration in the northern state of ca after security forces fired live ammunition into the crowd across the country tens of thousands of people have returned to the streets to protest against the military to the u.n. says more than 50 protesters have been killed in myanmar since the coup started last month. earlier we spoke with journalist a min tun in yangon and we asked her how the military is justifying its violent

crackdown on protesters. so the military has really had a 2 pronged approach to how they've been explaining the violence that people are seeing on the street one is simply denial they have denied that people who have died in police custody have died from the injuries sustained under police care as well as existing bodies of the dead and saying that the bullets found in their head for example are not from military or police weapon and are in fact gunshots from other perhaps instigators in the crowd and then they have also said so they said that police have been responding with the law and with the sort of reasonable measure to violence from protesters and have accused protesters of things like having bombs and such to justify the crackdowns. just a few hours from now the trial against the police officer accused of killing george

floyd will open in the u.s. city of minneapolis thousands of people rallied on the city's streets sunday chanting no justice no peace floyd a black man died in may last year after a white police officer derrick shot and now to on his neck the city is bracing ahead of a much anticipated trial that could spark more civil unrest and division in the u.s. . downtown minneapolis has the flair of a ghost town these days city hall and other municipal county and state government buildings have been fortified the city spent several months planning and preparing for what is likely to be the highest profile trial in the history of minnesota razor wire brand new fencing and concrete barriers this is how many apple is try to secure the hennepin county government center this is where the derrick shelving trial will start in just a few hours there will be national guard troops here police will be out in force here to secure the proceedings inside all around town there's

a noticeable strain in the air because of the trial there's a lot of tension especially this defense is going up it just seems like escalation almost like they're already coming for the worst if it doesn't say peaceful it doesn't but it just doesn't is not served i don't think it will and it shouldn't no remote. polies policies but they're not going to change. the trial will begin with a potentially lengthy process of jury selection the court has allocated up to 3 weeks for that. x. minneapolis police officer derek shoving faces charges of 2nd degree murder and 2nd degree manslaughter for the death of george floyd the 46 year old black man had been detained by shelvin at this street corner 10 months ago on may 25th last year many say what has since become george floyd square is foremost a symbol for the pain and grief this community is still experiencing emotions are

running high firmly rooted in deep mistrust for the police and the u.s. justice system as the floyd leads a local neighborhood organization called the adopt a movement it aims at improving relations between the community and law enforcement he is concerned the trial will reopen wounds not as you get more closer we get through the trial the more intense and more emotional gets the more triggers reappear you know it becomes more broad form your consciousness that what happened what we went through the last 10 months. minneapolis still shows plenty of scars from the ng re protests the rioting and the violence that followed the death of george floyd burned out and completely destroyed buildings piles of rubble serve as a reminder of what potentially can flare up and happen again here the worst scenario the big protests get aggressive from the beginning that's the worse. in anticipation of reigniting social unrest during the trial which is expected to go

on for months minneapolis has spent millions on beefing up security half a $1000000.00 alone on barricading the city's police precinct buildings however as the world is watching what happens next many here say that there will be a much higher price to pay if justice is not served for the killing of joshua. now britain's prince harry and his wife meghan have spoken on t.v. about their exit from royal life in an explosive interview with oprah winfrey meghan who has a white father and a black mother revealed that while she was pregnant one member of the war family had voiced concerns over their son's skin color she said intense pressure caused her to have suicidal thoughts a prince harry said the couple had been cut off financially from the royal family and that he felt let down by his father prince charles. that's big nuff to

d.w. correspondent standing by for us in london as we said this is an explosive interview how's it going down there in britain. so miss definitely what people are talking about it's dominating the headlines it's really the story this morning it's i think for many people who read insight that they not normally get into life in the palace and within the royal institution and people are of course you know taking sides a lot of people are taking sides and seeing this team magen versus team wins. it's definitely something that's very divisive i think mostly it's about these allegations of racism that something that cuts very very deeply here in the u.k. for example one of the ministers of the u.k. government had to oz had to answer a question on the on the british television this morning about these allegations of

racism and she said that they have no place in british society so definitely something that causes causes concern for people yet another allegation that was made in this interview is one that still in with mental health and meghan said that she had suicidal thoughts right now there's no contact between prince charles and a son harry i mean what does that say right now by the atmosphere in the powerless . it paints a picture of the palace as a white a lonely pace possibly a cold place that's what comes across from what harry and meghan have been saying about is that of course it brings back memories of princess diana of harry's mom who of course was life ended in tragedy and she had also previously spoken about this and how difficult it was to reach out to people so that's another issue that

dead lot of people are taking seriously the allegations of magen that she's suffered mental health problems and that there was no one to turn to. the racism and the mental health issues i think the 2 biggest bombshells really you can say in this interview how is buckingham palace likely to react to this. very unlikely to react immediately with the statement it's been reported that the queen might not actually even watch the interview but why i think what we can expect is people briefing friends and sources and like i said i think people are going to take sides and this debate is going to go on for for quite a while here in the u.k. it is quite a controversy what is the impact on the monarchy. we have seen the people who are against. one of the biggest and. groups republic

they have tweeted that it shows that the monarchy is bad for britain so i think what initially would have been the hope for the palace that when meghan entered the royal family that she can reach out to new audiences that she brings a fresh wind and that she can reach people that maybe the palace would have found difficult to reach and get behind them on a key that. this actually is now turning to the contrary and that the debate is about the palace and what's you know well things that are potentially wrong with they'd say so definitely it's not a good thing for the money having said that while the queen is the monarch she's immensely popular. there's not going to be a serious debate about any abolition of demonic kishi she remains very popular but of course it's a long term future that might be discussed. today reporting from london thank you.

to sports now at your pan is not known for having progressive views of gender roles but in recent weeks a change at the top of the much discussed tokyo olympics organizing committee has the country taking a hard look at itself after an 83 year old former prime minister was removed for making sexist comments a 7 time olympian took the reins her name is seiko hashimoto and her story might just have a profound impact on women's rights in japan. a woman being appointed to lead tokyo 2020 since an important signal with regard to gender equality in japan at tokyo to . my niece aiko has she not and i have been chosen as the new tokyo 2020 old and i think committed president i am taking on a big responsibility to be the new president and to committee i'm very motivated both at the start of this year to fix she was one of 2 cabinet ministers helping to

run this country of $126000000.00 people $65000000.00 of them women. hashimoto's a natural choice who checks all of the boxes she's an experienced leader a 4 time winter olympians and a 3 time summer games competitor. understand point of being a sports person myself my mission is to realize that tournaments where safety is the highest priority phobos participants and of people to change the atmosphere of society so that police can stand on the stream stage without hesitation. her predecessor former prime minister yoshiro mori caused a firestorm when he said women talk too much in board meetings the 83 year old ballot to widespread pressure and eventually resigning there's already been some positive change since hashimoto's taken over tokyo 2020 appointed 12 new women

members to its board bringing the female representation to over 40 percent just a little down very few women the top positions in japan so i hope that this could change the mindset of business women and men. will pick up for. the female lead tokyo 2020 is set to start on july 23rd. let's get a reminder now of our top stories countries around the world are marking international women's day with a special focus on the challenges they face from the coronavirus according to the un the pandemic has subjected women to more on paid work job loss and domestic violence. and at least 20 people have been killed by explosions at a military base in equitorial guinea hundreds more injured neighborhoods around the base in the city of otto where level the president has blamed negligent handling of

the crisis of our time it's a financial product like any other financial we live in a competitive world just told it's cool it's blue cold water used to be free big the always changing the most important form or assume it is called the freezing. cold so water city or commodity starts march toward. circuit on t.w. . welcome to global 3000. women have been campaigning for their rights for more than 170 years but it wasn't until the 20th century that things started to change when for example the right to vote was introduced in several european countries. but

we're still a long way from true equality even today many countries have laws and regulations in place which discriminate against women and there are regular steps backwards too . but increasing numbers of women around the world a standing up for themselves. the coronavirus pandemic has revealed just how big the task is a research conducted by the international monetary fund revealed that recent lock downs have been particularly tough for women and that's partly because it's women who commonly work in social roles often as caregivers and in 2020 there were fewer job openings in these sectors. even in industrial countries it can be hard for women to find work in certain sectors it's even tougher when traditional ideals and beliefs are added into the mix some women in iran approving it is possible like

those on the island of hen gum in the persian gulf. for us patients is of the essence. every day she waits patiently with her fishing line out on the open sea her grandfather taught her to fish as a child never made the day i think i was in the 3rd grade when i 1st really wanted to learn how to fish i went out all the time back that. and we cut many different kinds of fish. the woman at the helm mother her own often comes along to. the catches aren't nearly as big as they were in the past but it doesn't still get excited about each and every one. yet. what we do here is a very hard work it's not work that's usually associated with women but the women of the hanger island fish just like the men do. island lies in the

persian gulf near the strait of hormuz the region is the world's most important oil artery as well as a stage for international disputes including conflicts. global tensions that all affect the fishing community there. these circumstances all have an impact on us we all live with a sense of unease and you worry about what might happen tomorrow what will we come up against in the future i mean. there is that is island have lived from fishing for years a lack of fertile land means farming is not an option. only 500 people live on him so it's all hands on deck. says it doesn't matter if they are men or women she's one of the oldest fisher women on the island and she

currently has a problem her engine is broken she says low quality fuel and sexist officials are responsible. as if i could buy some surprise fuel with my fishing license the fuel i buy would be of better quality without a license i have to pay a lot more and it is just too expensive. according to her be no woman has ever had a fishing license she pays twice as much for gas as male fishes even though she's been doing the same work as them for more than 30 years. officials say we're not really fishers and that we're just doing it as a hobby so the women here are just fishing for fun oh you've seen yourself that fishing is our job here on hunger island. but things are starting to change tourists from the mainland have now discovered hang on the island they come

for dolphin watching and to take a breather. they're not only ignoring the corona pandemic but also many regulations imposed by the iranian government. the women on the island are now selling their own crafts as well as a good deal of kitsch from china. as owner has understood for a while that tourism and fishing can go hand in hand she runs a small restaurant and serves her fish to visitors. her grandmother looks after both of her children. what exactly her husband does remains unclear. the fact of the matter is that here everything is done by women. you don't know what the one hand it's not like this everywhere in iran many people still regard women as incapable we want to show them that men and women are equals we complement each other we can do everything

a man can do and we want to prove that to everyone. this is going pretty well as some profits from the local culture because for many on the mainland it seems exotic. besides that the majority of iranians can no longer afford to travel outside the country. the data tells us that this persian gulf island is an affordable alternative she and her friends are backpacking and it's their 1st time here. enjoyed reading them. i really like it here especially the people they're so friendly and lively and i like that everything feels a bit more free here thank you but yeah at the end of the day the rules are still in place so it's all relative. ok there. we meet up with bobby again the fisherwoman his boat broke down. she set up

a small drink stand on the beach right by the tourist trail. even though the stand provides him with a stunning view of the sea she's still not totally happy with things. more than me i thank god i can earn my living like this but it's still not like it was when i was out at sea nothing can replace fishing it gives me a lot of peace and it just makes me feel complete. i also miss gold's also continue to revolve around fishing regardless of how successful his business with tourists is. but the fact that the women on him now my island have built something of their own despite iran's weak economy will be valuable in the coming years. my goal is to make sure the next generation here can find work work leads to progress and if it also teaches foreigners more about our island that's even better

that i want to get on the family. and she says goodbye as i'm tells us that the sea has given her many gifts she hopes she'll never have to leave. women at the helm when it comes to many important issues too like freedom and equality or our climate emergency. women have made important discoveries or a space planning as they have dedicated their lives to animal protection or have risked their lives to fight racism and hatred despite centuries of discrimination and women have often played a huge part in history and they continue to do so with passion humanity and courage . you know when people tell me that they hit at the most of the dogs of the time you don't want to missing forget about innocence or loved ones of our families and our friends all over this transaction

but this is one of the missions of which we human beings of animals that is known for. that all for human and animal rights has made her famous throughout india in 2012 she set up this animal sanctuary near delhi. at all creatures great and small she and her team look after some 800 animals. from cattle to dogs guinea pigs to parakeets each one finds a new home with angelica among the animals of come to was an accident cases we had closed down illegal circus saw some of the dogs and the horses came from there. so of course some horses were abandoned and we got them full of. you know things like that bull bull is one of them she

arrived as a mere 3 month old at a couple months sanctuary severely injured and deeply traumatized she was a victim of a feud between 2 villages in which someone put her eyes out and an act of revenge. so delays that we had to change. the way she associated what you associate it with human beings we had to change or denied so that all everyone who came to reserve or anyone enter was here every day someone would do her those who could sing i would ask them to sing after about 4 or 5 months she started coming outside and then after 6 months she allowed us to tertiary allowed anyone to go in and then we allowed it out. and animal sanctuary wasn't always part of undulate agenda the 63 year old is founder and director of naz india a charity which mainly supports young people who are hiv positive and aids

sufferers. for me the frightening aspect was that this was something that wasn't being spoken about which is why it was frightening i saw them fiction going from men to men to women and children. it was very clear to me. but no one wanted to address their dog about a lot of work to make that happen. nance has been active for over 25 years isn't it since adopted the further m. of gaining legal recognition for the community now set up the 1st orphanage for children with hiv and aids in delhi along with a program for empowering young women and decriminalizing homosexuality. that program prompted a long march through the courts to the supreme court itself the judge actually said something as ridiculous as. we're about these good people minuscule minority

so i'm like. what is your definition of minuscule amount of b because even if we're going to what was under the board but even if one percent of the population look at. what it is. but for angele there's still an awful lot left to do members of the l g b t community still don't have the same basic rights as the rest of the population. that leaves here wishing for one thing in particular. i would like to see all of us come together. because. when you come together the impact the feel voice is amplified. we're really interested in how people live in different countries today we need to couple in kenya. and we were you know.

a long. letter. hi welcome to my house. this is my husband tunes and this is our living room. and this is a necklace i wish i had because i was given to doing i very special and. this white to me with

peace and with this red red beads to present. so i must say culture. we don't even stay for sometimes because we very much visit. we are looking up the carport. and as well as common cause i have come around here so most of what i. thought but even or one time only time we can also come and watch t.v. . we want to hear what is going on in our country.

to be home to live. with me to give or be heard in peace. or harry or liz very. equality in politics education health and earnings there's still a long road ahead if we continue to move it our current pace it will take another 100 years before we attain real equality between the genders that's according to the 2020 global gender gap report in many countries there's still a big divide when it comes to politics and the economy and there are some nations leading the way among them sweden finland and norway and top of the bunch is iceland with almost 88 percent.
