i think that era is over this is the crisis of our time it's. like. we live in a competitive world this cold it's cold it's too cold. but the world is changing the most important commodity. the freezing. supply her city for commodity starts march 22nd on t w. this is. coming up today and. the proposals for peace. us secretary of state. says the taliban are on the verge of a spring offensive in afghanistan unless the government blocks towards a cease fire we look at the options being put forward and whether they can work plus speaking out against harassment indian women working unskilled poorly paid

jobs they've had enough and demanding respect in their jobs. and demands for respect in pakistan to where women are standing up to patriarchy marching for their rights. i'm british manager welcome to dublin you could join us the united states has warned of gonna stand that the taliban could make rapid territorial gains if u.s. led nato forces withdraw from the country by the 1st of may the warning is contained in a letter from u.s. secretary of state antony blinken to afghanistan's president bashar afghani some 10000 u.s. led nato troops are due to pull out from the country according to the terms of an agreement reached between the united states and the taliban last year the letter from blinken also proposes out in steps toward. achieving

a permanent ceasefire in the country including a u.n. bus meeting a foreign ministers of regional nations a meeting between the afghan government and the taleban in turkey and efforts to achieve a 90 days adduction in violence and joining me now from head up in western nevada sun is correspondent eileen a t.v. i think has there been any reaction from the afghan governments to the proposals from secretary blinken i'm one of them and hasn't said anything specific yet in response to 'd the proposal. and there are reports. that the government has. a sickly reduce their meeting today and it's sending a signal that the cliff they're trying to figure out what to do with this. and how to go forward because a lot of the things that they had hoped for with the biden and ministration this letter makes very clear isn't happening i hardly saw the saying they aren't

propping the process entirely and in fact the letter says that you know a decision to be reached very quickly some kind of a settlement some kind of a peace agreement any sort of hope for changing course things have gone out the window. now that the let's also talks about developing a consensus on power sharing with the taliban is that of granted that the afghan government needs to accept. at this point it seems that way because if the u.s. is in charge of the deal and if they are calling in the un and if they are calling in neighboring nations you know this kind of an agreement this kind of the question doesn't come out of nowhere there had to have been some forethought i had to find the fact that they're calling in all of these are present simply neighboring mention the fact that they're asking for the u.n.

to take such a big role it seems and as you know in a lot of ways it has already decided now the question is when the government accepted and just as importantly will live how about an accept that they've sent out meant that recently saying that they don't want to be part of any kind of and from government obviously the on government has been very adamant against inter government the president has said you know he will die before he sees an interim government. but the letter is very strongly worded the question is how will both sides react to that you know strong strong something from united obvious talks about this many times before but for me blinken has to look military if u.s. troops are staying or leaving. this is a huge issue for the of on the government and for the people if you look at some of the early drafts of that letter that were in the there were elements that said that they were still considering keeping withdrawing all of their troops by me 1st but

at the end of it as you said you know this is the thing that the government wants their answer but the people on a clear answer to this is sort of giving a road map for some kind of a peace settlement but it's not giving the final most important dancer which is what's going to happen after me. and so i think again this may be the u.s. pulling some kind of leverage reminding them but you know as much as we've decided sort of a path going forward for you our troops are still up for contention. thank you very much for that. the world marks international women's day today old for gender equality. in india that continues to be an uphill task for women particularly in the so-called informal sector that comprises mostly labor intensive unskilled work women working in this

sector are prone to constant abuse and harassment at the hands of employers. partied on and honey before she stops in the domestic workers who live nearby many unknowns but some clues that. she's too much of an activist they say she doesn't mind though she wants to make sure that other young women and girls are never to free like she was once to speak out against. bed when it. was political. on betting is that they were going to. party was only when she was sent to work for a rich family and to live with them without. it's a common arrangement in indian cities which activists say amounts to more densely very. tiresome and an abuse by employers is common to and domestic workers

often see the can't afford to speak out at the risk of losing their jobs but party stresses that it is better to lose a job with dignity than to suffer through one without. non-stop hotheads of women's rights and she points out that while me too testimonials occupied mostly digital spaces and everybody the she found a similar reaction someone's tea party and other domestic work offline as well or they asked women to share their workplace had a similar experiences through art and writing and stitched together on a saturday calling it maybe which means me too in hindi so when they displayed the beastie but recalls there was a stunned silence they didn't realize that you know there are others like them as there they thought that they were the only ones who had experience actual harassment and the want of all of that got them to talk about it realize that what has happened to them is unfair and they can speak and then auto loans. guard to

johnny says this isn't just about she wants to ensure that her daughter grows up watching her mother live with dignity. knowing that she deserves it. don't have all the way to most of the movie. or they. would need to be realistic if they are a lot more severe to it all comes only strongmen in video like this is limited to my low poll near a lot of people of a 1000000 a year but took a look at it on for the mother with one girl barbie says that she wants her daughter to be unafraid of the rich to have a big house herself a comfortable job she's confident her daughter can be just like them but a much much grander person. and across the border in pakistan women have marched across the country to assert their rights on international women's day old locally

as order to march all women's march it's been and will feature in the country for the past 3 years women have taken to the streets to demand equality and a level playing field in a society notorious for its future arkell mindset in the past these marches have drawn strong criticism from conservative elements in the country. and benny's job it from. one of these nationwide. what is funny women marching for. i think anyone out of arc marching for a bite that some in many parts of the world would consider to be a very fundamental and basic thing for right such as rights to pursue education to be able to be to walk on the streets without being harassed that i could marry someone of their own little. baby did i think that on the streets but these very simple and basic rights i've talked to many. and. i hated the gap but you are

marching and they say that they are against us oppression and control and dominance of the society they believe that pakistan is a deeply skeptical society and still pakistani women cannot enjoy enjoyed that involvement and to feed them and that they did so because it was a new very provocative slogan very provocative and boy. that sure the hypocrisy of the society they say they're using. a controversial slogan made out just to be pretty much means my body my choice. 50 criticize last year also in the march also using that same slogan to feel rich they believe is their fundamental right they have big if they are trying to get the message that. a woman's body is it's her right whereas the sons of it they have and you know. how much does this march represent the aspirations of women across part of.

that important i have traveled to many religious in pakistan many small towns in pakistan i have lived in big cities and small cities and there is a stark difference between women and liberal men but like any other friend in the world. has started from a been sent from you know what students from a young woman activism and they believe. also speaking out for the rights of all women across pakistan i have some in the festus i have. demands of some of the chapters of the march and they clearly are asking for guidance for everyone and i do believe that the kind of momentum this march has gained in the last couple of years if that message is getting across pakistan pretty soon i was from you know peripheral thank you so much for that. and of course international women's day comes in the middle of a region global pandemic abandonment that's impacted women disproportionately when

. you specially when it comes to access to employment and child care for instance and we saw it reduced from women across the region. are you more young going on p.b.s. . so that at the who you know what i do with. my job. i don't think that cultivate has particularly impact way me briefly because actually all the human race no matter their man or remain no matter what the country or a race they are they all impact this greatly we're all you are of all perhaps this is a moment. and to cope a global pandemic like this better the next time.

you're going to all to deny to people. all. all people muslim all the. and that's it for today be sure to check out other stories on the. also facebook and twitter as well. from to morrow to the book. the fight against the corona virus 10 damage. has the rate of infection been developing what does the latest research say. information and context the coronavirus update. on t w. 260. for me

the last few years have been quite over. i'm going to go much higher but when it comes to. perhaps the biggest on the new line i'm going on the road for it i'd love to be in the news that represent the outcome but when you think of the giving . of the way of living you read to me haven't enjoyed me right through it. the coronavirus has put inequality in the spotlight women misrepresented in many industries and the pandemics made that worse consultancy mckinsey says women are almost twice as likely as men to lose their job due to code it from a few women work in science despite girls outpacing boys in school. women and needed like never before as the kofa death toll continues to rise. well

a crisis has wrecked relationships families and lives it's put back progress on many social fronts including women's rights he sent out our reporters to find out how some women around the world view covert 90. be surely set is that in the march numinous league of the eastern front who do you put on the view to see most of what you know is out as you think you could relate to any are you for me you see me as he pushes them what they saw was artistic would put them to eat molecules would suck would you do what i eat the musician is where to put this when you're moving to my place and i must i knew about. a building that are not transparent. this time with and there with the abbey and though they said the feel of the place you know if he hung on for the latest to the. place thought i 1st found myself it.

may be a stamp a 40 mile forward if you have to come out every. 20 people. and pull out all those obliques him on board to get lights up he demands all the tickets up so he had a man saw. you nobody's home up oh take up the law getting. all people muslim all be. total simón women provide the bulk of work as k. givers looking after the young the old and the sick in germany most nurses are women and they often are and significantly less than their male colleagues. here in the hospital there is a strict protocol when it comes to putting on your protective clothing but that's been bagga it has become a routine she is one of the many female nurses who have been pushing their limits day and night for year now taking care of coronado iris patients.

there's a secret knowledge about the physical strain is an enormous working in this kind of gears exhaust 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 history in a stressful. stressful is also haven't described her last year she it works as a nurse in an old people's home in perth in the pandemic made her job even harder and again the burden of carrying for society's elderly was mainly on women. luckily men i increasingly interested in being and my husband does also 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 ask 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 work nights hamman 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 nurses and carers 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 phone. 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 kitchen wife it's that the world only goes around when we all work together as a team and for that one of us can't get by without the other things and i now for one and in other non english. the time bagenal is that too after what she likes to

go for a walk in the woods to switch off to that is important to support people who work in foreign i would dump them on and on top of. corona may be here to stay and we need to develop strategies we need enough stuff enough equipment and whatever else it takes to help us do our jobs and as i understand officers all of us here on wolf i told. both nurses agreed these improvements have to come and they have to come soon. i spoke to to attend a ph d. candidate at the united nations university merits and monstrous university and asked what the world is missing out on if women's voices in science and. yes the matter of life and death and that not only is this quote 90 affect people from their racial standpoint but also from a gender standpoint and there is research that shows that quote 19 may actually

affect women's bodies differently and also on their social effects that related to the disease than we actually impact women more than for women are the primary caregivers of their households so having to work from home and take care of their children may actually affect women here that it doesn't man tell me more about when you talk cooperation and teamwork when it comes to men and women working together in science to work on not only beating this crisis but also equality within the business. i'll give my example for of my collaborators i worked with john france wind officer then you know on a paper regarding the social effects of covert 19 in africa and i think that their collaboration intrigued me as an equal i was allowed me to share my views as a woman and also to highlight the gender aspect of code in 1000 particularly on women in business and their careers and this actually helps out also to take on

some emotional turmoil that's associated with sexism when they're in science and with good academic profession as well so i commend collaborators who treat women as equals mainly because they are actually doing the work related to combating sexism within science and in the academic field overall what else did you find. in how code nineteen's affecting the economy and female entrepreneurs in guyana. we found that cover $98.00 we found that in general women have less to lose than men and they fact of their previous sales on their future sales affects men women more than men and so we find that because women right now drink due to the condemned make have to stand home and take care of their children their sales for the projects that is selling are really low and so this will then obviously impact their future business prospects and these are things that we need to look into in

terms of the condemned make in that there's not only health effects this is also the social effects that mean necessarily disadvantage female entrepreneurs compared to 2 male entrepreneurialism this is not only the particularly in the ghana case ought to entrepreneurship this also translates to just women who are working from home and who was a careers have been affected by the pandemic. so a to know what advice would you give to young women who aspire to pursuing a career in science say. i would say that align yourself with people who want you to do well if you're in a situation where this tumor sexism and your voice is not heard and people don't want you to succeed i would advise you to find ways of getting out of a situation if you can always find. your success find mentors who want you to do well work in the labs with people who want well i don't want that it's not easy

because this is a male dominated field and they are some women and men as well who actually want to help women do well in their careers you heard it from to take to thank you very much for being on the show today thank you very much. i've been out to a science correspondent derrick williams he's been looking into your questions on the corona virus this one coming from an anonymous. does the vaccine make you in for a tile. since the start of the pandemic we've seen one corona virus met after another so it's no wonder that vaccines have spawned many more this one though that m r n a vaccines cause infertility in women is especially worrisome i think because it appears to be having a real impact on vaccine uptake among younger women. like

a lot of fake news that gains traction the infertility myth uses science to distort rather than to clarify in this case it twists the scientific fact that m r n a vaccine strain the immune system to recognize a structure on the outer surface of the corona virus called the spike protein this information campaigns build on that with a claim that despite protein resembles a protein found in the placenta that protects and nurtures a developing fetus that means the claim continues that an immune system primed to detect spine proteins in order to attack and destroy the corona virus can also mistakenly attack and destroy a placenta causing women to either be infertile or to miscarry this is not true for a couple of fundamental reasons 1st the defense in the immune system react in

a highly specific way to the proteins that they've been programmed to detect they have to because proteins are only made up of 20 different molecular building blocks called the main. glasses but our bodies can produce at least $20000.00 different proteins from them and possibly a whole lot more so of course there can be structural molecular overlap in many different proteins which is why the immune system has to be so specific and 2nd is the fact that the placenta protein in question turns out not even to be very similar and molecular terms to the viruses spike protein so short and sweet there is 0 evidence that being vaccinated against cove at 19 affects a woman's fertility in any way and actually a growing mound of evidence that it doesn't.
