the revelations will stop with the racism on 1st just so who is saying what about whom i have a lot yeah i mean that was a very shocking allegation made by to harry and mike in saying a member of the royal family household had been in meccans was raised concerns how to conduct had conversations about how dark the color of her unborn child's skin would be of course that is the the line from the interview that is causing so much outrage understandably now with the couple did not name who in the royal household made those comments which of course of the even more damaging to the world family because many a now essentially tonto knishes all of them rather than just one individual in particular the oprah winfrey has recently in the last few hours come out to say that it wasn't the queen or her husband prince philip who made those claims but clearly a lot of questions to be asked we didn't know from prince harry that he was stepping

back from the want to keep because of a racist overtones in the media this is now the festering we're hearing applications of this kind leveled at the royal family and suicide all sorts of meghan said she had yet another very damaging comment she said that she wasn't getting support from the royal family and at times she felt so lonely so isolated that she she did consider taking her own life very very obviously very personally tire before american has felt very confident we're a family brand as well harry and will while they were conducting road you he's had built a name on tackling mental health issues and of course harry himself raised in that interview that he was concerned about history repeating itself also the treatment of his mother princess diana so of course that is something that resonates a great deal with the british public and causes a lot of concern shot itself and killed in london thank you.

a virus spread. why do we panic and when we'll. consider through the topics and the weekly radio. if you would like any information on the coronavirus or any other science topic you should really check out our podcast if you get it wherever you get your podcasts you can also find us at. science. and forced into a nameless mass. their bodies your jewels with. the history of the slave trade is africa's history. just. before our entropic plummeted an entire continent into chaos and violence. this is the journey back into the history of slavery. i think we will truly be making progress

when we all accept the history of slavery as all of our history. our documentary series slavery routes starts march 10th on. this wus a show coming up today and warnings and proposals for peace. us secretary of state and to save the public the budget for spring offensive in afghanistan unless the government quotes towards a famine of ceasefire we'll look at the options being put forward and whether they can but plus speaking out against harassment it gives women working. deep. jobs say they've had enough respect in their jobs. and demand for respect

in pakistan to where women are standing up to patriarchy marching for their rights . i'm british manager welcome to. glad you could join us the united states has warned of gunman 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 musharaff dannie 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 an steps towards achieving a permanent ceasefire in the country including a un backed meeting of foreign ministers of regional nations

a meeting between the afghan government and the taliban in turkey and efforts to achieve a 90 day of reduction in violence and joining me now from here out in western afghanistan is correspondent eileen at the faith i think has there been any reaction from the afghan government to the proposals from my 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 load today and it's sending a signal that basically they're trying to figure out what to do with this message and how to go forward because a lot of the things that they had hoped for with the biting and ministration the letter makes very clear isn't happening my halles office saying they aren't prepping the process and tiredly 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 agree so any sort of hope for a change in course things have gone out the window on. the let's also talks about developing a consensus on power sharing with the father bob is that of gratitude to be gone 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 u.n. and if they are calling in neighboring nations you know this kind of an agreement the kind of the question doesn't come out of nowhere to have to have been some forethought ahead to find the fact that they are calling in all of these are present simply neighboring region 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 this is already flying now the question is when the government

accepted and just as importantly will live how about an except that they 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 the entire government the president has you know he will die before he has an interim government. but the letters very strongly worded the question is how will both sides react to. you know strong strong something from you know a lot of your thoughts about this many times before but to me blinken has to look middle to 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 the 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 this is the thing that the government wants their

answer that the people on a clear answer to this is sort of giving a roadmap for some kind of a peace settlement but it's not giving the final most important cancer which is what's going to happen after me. and so i think again this maybe the u.s. pulling some kind of leverage reminding them right you know as much as we've decided sort of a path going forward for you our troops are still up for contention. i mean if they feel thank you very much for that. the world marks international women's day to day when called for greater gender equality. in india that continues to be an uphill tossed for women particularly in the so-called informal sector that comprises mostly labor intensive unskilled work women working in this sector prone to constant abuse and harassment at the hands of a. party on is very good neighborhood she stops and the domestic

workers who live nearby maybe nothing but some tools. she's too much of an activist this she doesn't mind though she wants to make sure that other young women i'm never afraid like she was once to speak out against. bed when it's. been a very. bad thing is that they would have been. party was only 8 years old 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 see amounts to more densely wooded. talisman and abuse by employers as common to and domestic workers often see they can't afford to sit out at the risk of losing their jobs but parties

stresses that it is better to lose a job with dignity than to suffer to one without. non-stop hotheads of women's rights and she points out that while me to testimonials occupy justly digital spaces and everybody the she found similar reactions someone's party and other domestic work offline as well or they asked women to share their workplace had a cement 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 stun 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 wonder woman that got them to talk about it realize that what has happened to them is unfair and they can speak and they're not and won't. guard the running says this isn't just about she wants to ensure that her daughter grows

up watching her mother live the dignity. knowing that she deserves it too don't have all the drama some movie. where they. would monitor the media life if they are a lot more severe to all comes only strongmen in video like this is limited to mellow poking up near a lot of people of a 1000000 they have never took a look at it on for the much of a bungle bartie 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 course. and across the border in pakistan women have marched across the country to assert their rights on international women's day old locally as. 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 that told us for its 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. thank you but he went out of our marching for a fight that some in many parts of the world would consider to be very fundamental and basic asking for right such as right to pursue education to be able to be to walk on the streets but doubt being has the right to marry someone of their own little. baby then i think that on the streets but these very simple and basic rights i've spoken to many. i headed the capital are marching and they say that they are against us oppression and control and dominance of the

fighting they believe the pakistanis to defeat the taliban society and still fucking funny women cannot enjoy enjoy their involvement and to feed them and that they did so because it was a new very provocative slogan very provocative and boy. like i said short the hypocrisy of the society they say they're using. a controversial slope and made i just think that he pretty much means my body my choice was 50 criticised last year olds in the march also using the same slogans to feel which they believe is their fundamental right big if they are trying to get the message that. a woman's body is it's totally right whereas the conservatives and you know. how much does this march represent the aspirations of women across party. that important i have traveled to many religious in pakistan really small towns in pakistan i have lived in big cities and small cities and there's

a stark difference between women and to live woman but like any other friend in the world. has started from been sent from you know what students from young women look back to them and they believe. speaking up for the rights of all women across pakistan i have some of the 1st stores i have jotted of demands of some of the chapters of the march and they clearly are asking for dates for everyone and i don't believe that that kind of will make them this march has gained in the last couple of years if that message across by could start. 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 . especially 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 the who you know what i do with that. i don't think that cultivate 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'll all you crave longer of all perhaps this is a moment. and to cope a global pandemic like this better the next time. all to give life to people. saw.

many social fronts including women's rights we sent out our reporters to find out how some women around the world view covert 90. beautician they said. is that. the margin honestly so we should try to keep you going to be to see models that we don't use on us do you think you could i do any of you for me do you see me as he pushes them but it just wasn't as it would put them to be modeled to woodstock would you does but i mean you station is this a do when you're always moving to my place and i must add new about i hope. that they never are not transparent. this time with and they're with me and though they said the feel of the place you are feeling on for the latest to the. base filesystem most epic battle may be c m today or day my politics you have break from africa totally cool. and not all those are going to mock all took in light

opinions on a good subset of the public good e-mails all the utilizes homophone take up the law getting all of us will all paedophiles home all be. total point zimm on women provide the bulk of work as caregivers looking after the young the old and the sick in germany most nurses of women and they often are in 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 for cuts been baca 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 coronavirus patients. there's a secret ballot about the physical strain is 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 that is really stressful and. stressful is also how to describe her last year she it works as a nurse in an old people's home and person in the pandemic made her job even harder and again the burden of carrying for society's elderly was mainly on women. and 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 male domain then women would also a very different set of. us 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 a slim and they often 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 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 even if. 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 are not just not as clean as the kitchen wife it's that the world only goes around when we all work together as a team and that one of us can't get by without the doesn't i now for one and in another mish. 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 walk

in when i would. come on and on top. maybe here to stay and we need to develop strategies we need enough stuff and i think whitman and whatever else it takes to help us do our jobs and as i had to stand tough it was on us heels and wolf i told. both nurses i 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 must treat 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 comment 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 men 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 again you know on a paper regarding the special effects of covert 19 in africa and i think that their collaboration intrigued me as an equal i was allowed me to air my views as a woman and also to highlight the gender aspects of covert 19 particularly armed women in business and their careers and this actually helps out also to take out the emotional turmoil that's associated with sexism within science and within the 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 90 we found that in general women have less to lose than men and the fact of their previous sales on their future sales affects men and women more than men and so we find that because we mean right now 3 different condemned make have to stand home and take care of their children their sales for the products that is selling are really low and so this will be and 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 male intrapreneur this is not only the particular in the ghana case or to entrepreneurship this also translates to just women who are working from home and who was a careers have been affected by to print and make so a to know what advice would you give to young women who aspire to pursuing a career in science a. 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 that 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 the are some women and men as well who actually wants to help women do well in their careers you know from to tender. thank you very much

for being on the show today thank you very much over now to our science correspondent derrick williams he's been looking into your questions on the coronavirus this one coming from an anonymous your. does the vaccine make you in for a while. since the start of the pandemic we've seen one corona virus meth after another so it's no wonder that vaccines have spawned many more this one though that m.r.i. in 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 the structure on the outer surface of the corona virus called the spike protein the disinform ation campaigns build on that with the claim that the spike 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 spike proteins in order to attack and destroy the corona virus can also mistakenly attack and destroy up with senta 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 amino acids 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 in molecular terms to the viruses by protein so short and sweet there is 0 evidence that being vaccinated against cope at 19 affects a woman's fertility and anyway and actually a growing mound of evidence that it doesn't. and we leave you with protest pictures from book arrest around 3000 demonstrators
