history of slavery i think 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 t.w. . class. one year ago this week the coronavirus l. brake was declared a full blown pandemic while much of the world began shutting down women when into overdrive drafted to be at home teachers at home workers at the same time 24 hour mother swines cooks the list is endless on this international women's day our world is all about her and him sex power politics and the prince the princess and a royal retreat i'm burnt off in berlin this is the day. world

are extinct really could just being plain old barking at times i'm angry to the point of. that today i'm sick and a lot of just to watch this interview 2 hours long can more drama in it and some of the soap operas on oprah winfrey's own network this is a chill out rational phone. fun to make this a place to sit here. and see the company with crops that ain't done nothing wrong but i think it's time for us to all the fun things are cows it is probably one of the last media situations that the family has faced and in fact a long time. also coming up the legions of female nurses denying the coronavirus permission to rob us of our humanity the ones always

helping us to hold on to life and often the only ones to hold the hand of a dying patient. the hardest thing is that thing of have taken someone away from the family and thank him in upcoming you know the not coming out and the saints you with me or i see them again and you think no i don't think you owe. it to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and to all of you around the world welcome we begin the day with a royal retreat that is front and center yet again one year ago britain's prince harry and his wife meghan stepped down as working royals and they moved to the united states yesterday sunday was the 1st time they have spoken publicly and that hands the world talking and wondering if buckingham palace plans to do the same in

a sit down interview with oprah winfrey the duke and duchess of sussex spoke candidly about family money and race meghan who has a wife father and black mother revealed that while she was pregnant a member of the royal family voiced concern over which skin color their son could possibly have she said the intense pressure of wife as a royal drove her to suicidal thoughts and that when she mentioned mental health care the palace said not for her prince harry added that the royal family has cut them off financially and that he feels let down by his father prince charles before the royal family the interview has created a combustible situation there are comparisons to the plight of harry's mother princess diana there are questions about the timing with harry's 99 year old grandfather queen elizabeth's husband still in the hospital we're going to go to london in los angeles to discuss that in just a moment but 1st here is part of that explosive interview i've advocated for so

long for women to use their voice and then. i was silent. were you silent or were you silenced the latter but i knew that if i didn't say it that i would do it and i i just didn't i just didn't want to be alive anymore my biggest concern was history repeating itself and i've said that before on numerous occasions very publicly so when i asked the question why did you leave the simplest answer is lack of support and lack of understanding prince harry raised in a palace in a life of privilege literally a prince how you were trapped within the system but the rest of my family all my father and my brother they all tromped. well this is

a transatlantic story and we have coverage from both sides of the atlantic tonight in london my colleague charlotte tells him phil is following the story for us and for most angeles on the u.s. west coast intertainment journalist k.j. matthews joins us to both of you welcome char let me start with you all day there has been speculation how and when will the queen respond and has there been any reaction from the royal family. well obviously anticipation about this interview was fever pitch before it was but the palace had expressed to newspapers that it wasn't going to respond to any of the claims that have been made that would be made but i think it's fair to say that even in many people's wildest dreams this interview was a lot more explosive than was expected and some of those allegations the argument is are going to be in need of a response from the palace so far there has been no response yet but you have to

bear in mind that the interview in the u.k. was only jus to air this evening this is a story that is going to keep going on and on as the british public really get a chance to watch this 2 hour interview in full and really get a sense of what the message that how we meghan are trying to get across that. this was one of the year's most it is a pita media moment it has become just there in the united states has been. oh my god there were so much anticipation leading up to this interview and boy did oprah deliver we never thought we would have so many bombshells dropped in a 2 hour interview but we got an inkling that it was going to be slightly explosive when we learned that the network that was airing it c.b.s. had gone from an hour and a half interview to 2 hours so we knew that they apparently had a lot to say and we couldn't wait to hear it but you know so many people here in

america are just so surprised at all the bombshells that she she levied i think we love the royal family we thought we knew a little bit about them but i think what she did was pull the curtain back and till the inner workings of what she calls the firm or the institution surrounding the royal family and that has left us here in america very shocked. are americans interested in the family dirty laundry of 2 out of work royals. you know because they tell people think that they are telling the truth here in america and we just don't get to hear anything about their personal lives unless it's a very very tabloid much of what has been said about meghan marco and prince harry has been said by other people we know they move we know that she was pregnant we know they got married we know that they have been unhappy but other people have been telling their story we haven't even heard from her mother it's always been from a father or step sister finally we got to hear what they were thinking and what was

happening leading up to the wedding after the wedding when they moved to canada and finally when they decided to reside here in southern california we've been waiting for that we've been waiting for her to open her mouth and tell us how she felt and finally we got to hear it yes she did definitely do that charlotte talk to me about how this is being viewed where you are this obviously hits closer to home in the u.k. that it does in the u.s. . you know i think you to put it really nicely when she said that this is this was about pulling back the curtain on the royal family and you have to bear in mind that even for her royal watches very little is known about the inside workings the personal relationships in the family indeed the mantra has always been never complain never explain and in that interview harry and meghan did both now i want to refer you to a poll that's come out about the british public's response so far that is this if it's that they saw her in the media earlier today about 3040 percent of people in

britain thought it was inappropriate that the couple has even given me into even that that had sympathy and that has none and i think that that doesn't really point to the fact that this is not being considered. the trust of the british public have been in everything that harry and meghan have said isn't isn't toto i mean that detractors on cue done this is a very poor these times this interview if nothing else they say shouldn't have been a while perry's grandfather phillips was in hospital there were also claims that we heard them at the top of the show that i have read and meghan are essentially trading on their royal status on their heritage their background you know what it says to make money in the united states so there are a lot of people who are very angry that this interview has gone to us saying these people they stepped back from royal life to avoid the publicist see and hear they all in one of the most publicized interviews in fact this very good point let me

ask you both about the issue of race in this interview versus take a listen to what was said let's not. and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he's born. what and who who is having that conversation with you. it's a hold on hold out there are several conversations a conversation with you with harry about how dark your baby is going to be potentially and what that would mean or look like. but how is this resonating in the u.s. you saw that look on oprah's face there she really didn't know where to go she didn't know where to go after that answer that's exactly how all of us in america i

mean many black americans were just stunned we never really thought a 1000000 years that anybody any member of the royal family would have the audacity to say that in the 21st century you know if that was in fact say it is just really shocking and really just despicable to hear because you know we had thought that she had been welcomed into the royal family everybody knows that meghan markle has a black mother and a white father this is the new so why all the sutton was there a concern about the color of his skin when you knew exactly what she was more than a year ago before they even got married let alone when she got pregnant so that was a bit shocking and also because so many people that we saw in the british media or the british press have been saying so long that this was not about race and megan was making it about race it was about her behavior and about how she was acting and that's the only problem that they had with her that it is not have a problem with the color of her skin and now we're hearing allegedly from megan

that they did have a problem with the color of her skin and surely it is important to know that you're there we do not know who made the comment about orgies skin color i mean so that's close to casting the entire royal family in a racist why does the queen does she have to address racism in her pellets no. clearly this is an extremely damaging allegation as you said harry and meghan went off one draw on who exactly it was that made this comment they simply said that it would be very damaging for that person about information was revealed what we have since heard from oprah winfrey who did that interview was that it was neither the queen nor prince philip but as you say that doesn't mean that the questions are going to end that they said it was a member of the royal household so i'm sure the public will want to know exactly who that is the questions will continue so indeed i'm sure there will be a lot of pressure on the queen to response to these allegations as i'm sure they

will continue to rumble on into the weeks ahead now we know from every in magen that they were stepping back because they felt that there was races and races overtimes in the british press that something that they reiterated again in another extracts of the interview this is the 1st time these allegations of being leveled at the royal family themselves and it's said to be shocking let me ask you both here we've got about a minute left what is the perceived intention of this interview or they didn't have to see anything publicly but they did give you 30 seconds because everybody spoken for making markel except making markel that's why making markel wanted to come in set the set the record straight and because we know that there was no letting up of stories about her she hasn't lived in the u.k. for more than a year and guess what the stories haven't stopped and so according to her she felt that if the stories were going to continue and she felt that they were going to be

negative or just outright lies then she should be part of changing that narrative by telling her own story ok charlotte. yeah she said in that interview that she felt during her time in the palace that she had been a science this is was a chance to now have a voice but i think one of the most telling keys to this was prince harry when he said that he did not want to see history repeat itself we all remember what happened with it either she died in a car crash in 1007 pursued by the proper azzi harry very concerned that the same or the same harassment of his wife would continue he wanted to take her out of that situation and that's why now they're trying to set the record straight show the chosen people in london t.g. matthews in los angeles to both of you thank you vance and a discussion. wednesday countries around the world are marking international women's day the past year has been particularly difficult for women due to the long list of extra burdens tied to

the pandemic u.s. treasury secretary janet yellen the 1st woman to hold that job says the pandemic has had quote an extremely unfair impact on women's income and job opportunities the isolation and stress of lockdowns has also led to a global spike in domestic violence which again mainly affects women we asked women all around the world to share their pandemic experiences with us. i think the book was even more because. i think. because i think. the male 4 members didn't like much of what they do. i think that even though they had. it is.

that. it is not it. made alice. a difficult him into his head it might oh yeah it said it didn't occur to. him. to go to an all can or cannot lead by women. to germany and. from you. because that if you can keep that's. when women make up the vast majority of caregivers looking after the young in day care of the old in nursing homes and the

sick in hospitals in most countries including here in germany most nurses are women it is gender and it's pay that they usually have in common female nurses often earn significantly less than their male colleagues but we spent some time with nurses recently and we tried to learn more about how they have experienced this pandemic. here in the hospital there is a strict protocol when it comes to putting on your protective clothing but that's been back 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 coronavirus patients. as a stick around it about 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. in

a stressful. stressful is also how to describe her last year she works as a nurse in an old people's home and girl in a 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 in my husband is 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. 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 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 miss it if. my wish for women in this profession is that they stop put. themselves down and that people are aware of their contribution people need to understand that we are not just not clean and the kitchen was this 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 says and i now for one and another mish. bagger knows that too after what she likes to go for a walk in the woods to switch off to it is important to support people who work in care and i would. 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. both nurses are agreed these improvements have to come and they have to come soon. well the pandemic has ended so much of our daily lives how we work how we shop and also how we talk a year of the corona virus has spawned a new generation of the cabul larry but it appears the german language has been enriched more than any other linguists say that has to do with germans ability to combine words into a new one it is truly remarkable and you don't have to speak german to understand or appreciate this we've got a few examples for you the word corona vehicles would not see owns good beat and that means a is a new word that means an area where coronavirus mutations are likely or prevalent and then there's the word geist. which literally means ghost vent of this refers to

public events like soccer games with no spectators and this one this one really caught our attention gives zisha. which translates as face condom it is a synonym for face mask but we dare say the image that it conjures up in your mind has little to do with anything you put on your face. well it has been more than 3 years since the hash tag me 2 movements all women across the world come forward with their stories of sexual abuse tonight one of the united states' most prominent politicians new york governor andrew cuomo is facing growing calls to resign 3 women including former assistants to the governor have accused him of inappropriate behavior cuomo a democrat championed some of the toughest legislation to protect women from sexual harassment he was widely praised for his initial handling of the pandemic but now

he's in damage control apologizing but also refusing to step down i was elected by the people of the state i wasn't elected by politicians. i'm not going to resign because of allegations anybody has the ability to make and i like asian in democracy and that's great but it's in the credibility of the allegation well an independent investigation is now underway for more on this story i'm joined tonight by reporter amy briton from the washington post she coauthored a recent report looking at what former aides to governor cuomo describe as a toxic workplace culture and it's good to have you on the program many of our international viewers 1st got to know governor cuomo as the face of new york's pandemic response but you have found out that he hasn't always been such a nice guy to work for tell us more. i mean i think you're right in the sense that he became a national and international celebrity at the start of the pandemic who was widely

beloved especially year ago at this time and the really fascinating thing about taking a look at his record as an investigative reporter is that we're kind of looking at it with fresh eyes at this point and when you go back and you start reading clips and speaking to dozens of people who have worked for him over the years there's kind of a why and that point that a lot of people tend to make is that he has allegedly fostered a culture of a workplace environment that is very toxic can be virtually abusive and we heard that from a number of people that we spoke to and the really surprising thing is that many of these people have said that this behavior persis did and even thrived in in the open environment there with the years you know that is surprising especially for international viewers governor cuomo he has issued an apology of sorts saying that he regrets that his actions made women feel bad but he insists that he did nothing illegal take a listen to what he said. i never touched anyone in appropriately i never knew

at the time that i was making anyone feel uncomfortable and if i ever did make people feel uncomfortable which. i now understand that i have i apologize for i mean you know in the wake of the hash tag me to movement that was the governor's line of defense coming across i mean he's not a 15 year old. he's certainly resolute in the sense that he's saying that he's not going to resign and that he wants this state investigation to be done and he wants to wait out to see the results of that investigation i can just tell you from speaking to a number of former aides who watched it and they communicated to me that it made them very angry to see him say publicly that he never knew that his behavior made people uncomfortable and that was a moment in fact that in talking to people in some cases made them inspired to come

forward with their accounts rather on background or on the record because they felt that his public statement did not sink up with the actions that he showed toward his staffers over the years and we've got about 30 seconds one of the chances of him staying in office versus him resign. you know at i don't know what to tell you and that's and so i mean at this point 5 women have come out more came out over the weekend this is total of 5 now because that is that they believe that he acted in appropriately towards that in 4 of those women used to work for happens at this point he has he is firm in the sense in saying that he is not going to resign but as each day passes there seems to be more and more prominent democrats in new york who are calling for him to resign so he is definitely an embattled governor at this moment at any briton from the washington post amy we appreciate your time and your reporting tonight thank you so here. well the day is

almost done but the conversation continues online you'll find us on twitter either due to the news or you can follow me of t.v. and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see you then everybody.

i'm brinkerhoff it's good to have you with us the world is marking international women's day at a time when the pandemic is placing extra burdens on many women a united nations commission says that the global health emergency has forced women to take on more housework home schooling and caring while in many cases losing their jobs and the isolation and stress of lockdowns has led to a surge in domestic violence which again mainly affects women across the world they have been speaking out today. decked out in pink these women and it's a nice capital attendant to weather the rain and make the forces had on a day that celebrates women they're protesting against a rise in finance and gender disparities much of this after 5 to join the. endemic

unemployment and poverty. and in pakistan the festive feeling echoes demands for social justice and better education the u.n. says progress for gender equality is slow and the lasting effect of the pandemic is beginning to show women are paid less than men with the gender pay gap sitting at 23 percent certainly education is in trouble is you know a developing country is one of the areas of progress in the last 2 decades especially has been gill's education in the region but devastating for us to lose all those is because we have very hard. in of course women outside the labor market. era with even the jobs a changing in the new skills that have required for the for the. future and the jobs of. this. do not it means that to me he gets

it you got it woman's place was it all. the while women are the ones paying the highest price the cool for everyone to play their part continues to resonate around the world. well the science is one area where women are not equally represented i'm now joined by professor akiko it was talking professor for immuno biology. and cellular biology at yale university professor it's good to have you on the program on this international women's day unfortunately still most scientists are men how can young women be inspired to take up a career in science. you're absolutely right that we still have gender inequality in academia and there are many reasons for this but we absolutely must change the way women are evaluated and promoted in science in order to have an

equal playing playing level for all women to succeed women have been playing a crucial role in countering this pandemic i want you to hear what european commission president ursula funder lion had to say about this on the occasion of women's day take a listen dr as lem to achieve professor sara gilbert dr keyes makiya cora but some of you may have never heard their names before but we owe them a lot they are 3 scientists from germany the u.k. and the u.s. and these 3 extraordinary women lead the teams that developed the 1st 3 vaccines against coronavirus biotech more downa and astra zeneca. and i'm sure that they like many of us have fought against all sorts of stereotypes but

this is how women respond to stereotypes by going that way showing leadership and excel ing in their field and today the whole world can see that we are all better off when women get the opportunities they deserve so present she was talking about stereotypes there what kind of glass ceilings are women in science what kind of glass ceilings are they still facing today. right i saw there are many layers of glass ceilings i guess one is the stereotype which is really true that everyone is has these implicit bias against women and particularly women of color in science and academia and this implicit bias actually affects everything from evaluation to promotion to recognition and

i do experience that professor have you of you experienced this in your career. yes i think most women have experienced some sort of implicit bias and in our careers i know that the i mean you've been fighting against sexism in science why is why is that such a big problem still today. but academia is run by mostly you know male dominated communities and you know unless we really change the way people are evaluated and promoted and. elevated in science we're not going to change the system naturally so that's why i'm speaking up about the importance of including women because women are really capable of you know contributing and progressing in science and so why don't we use

the 50 percent of the you know population to do that well question for you what about girls when they're in school you know in order to be a professor like you you were once a girl who became interested in science how do we get more girls. get interested in science in a world where it's usually the boys who are put into that channel so the implicit bias extends to even girls and younger people and so you know in classrooms girls may not be. evaluated in the same level as it's boys in science and many other sort of disciplines so i think we need to really promote science and math and other so-called male dominated disciplines from the young age yeah that's right get on when they're young and impressionable as they say professor accused it was talking joining us tonight from yale university professor

we appreciate your time in your insights tonight thank you thank you. well it is an interview that's already created shock waves around the world britain's prince harry and his wife meggan unloading on the royal family the couple who have stepped back from official duties and maintain that they've been cut off financially well they had plenty to say and the eagerly awaited sit down talk with oprah winfrey with allegations of racism and. one stunning revelation follows another in this 2 hour interview being watched by millions meghan describes the hardship and racism she experienced as part of the british royal family the duchess of sussex said there were concerns about how dark the skin color of the couple's son archie would be the british press are having a field day but if that wasn't enough to shock the violence loving nation meghan also revealed thoughts of suicide prime minister boris johnson refused to be drawn

. thank you for joining us i've spent a long time i know not commenting on iraq family matters and i don't intend to depart from that today many see parallels to harry smother princess diana who also found herself unprepared for life in the pressure cooker of the royal family. the american poet amanda gorman tweeted meghan is living the life diana should have if only those around her had been as brave as she was meghan isn't living a life without pain but a life without a prison on the streets of london some people empathized with meghan. talking a ball colby will talk about this song about how this was like we have full of people it's especially because i'm glad it's all up to a short list of people that before lloyd zach he was gay not because somebody is

a kick to pay given that we don't know about i think it's a good thing the joyous news that the couple is now expecting a girl was almost drowned out by the allegations now many expect answers from the house of windsor which is unlikely to happen they're supposed to is never complain never explain. i think you can touch the suspects have proven that some matters cannot be resolved behind closed doors. are is now let's get you up to speed on some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world the trial of former u.s. police officer derek chauvet over the killing of george floyd has been delayed until tuesday as hundreds of protesters gathered outside the courthouse the judge received a last minute order to consider adding an additional murder charge last may the former police officer knelt on floyd's neck as he pleaded that he could not breathe syrian president bashar al assad and his wife have tested positive for cope with 19 they are experiencing while symptoms and will continue their work from home syria

feeling good enough that i was i wouldn't put myself in this position so really curious to find out how it's going to go i really don't know myself yet any results a good result at this point. federer had 2 lots of nice surgery last year for the 39 year old says he never contemplated retirement it's one tournament in particular on his mind. i'm really here just to test it all out see how it goes and go day by day my 1st goal is really from all the way to wimbledon use this time the best i can to build up step by step. and not had any setbacks the last few. months and that's been really positive for me and that makes me believe that you know good times are ahead but. you know matches are different to practice so go a long way to go. a record extending nights wimbledon title in july might seem

unlikely right now but see federer can stay happy and healthy anything is possible . when you're watching. from. like that. the debris of. one giant problem. in no mood to see.

divided in a city needn't be changing the lady she was reading. how will climate change affect us and our children. w dot com slash water. choose to challenge that's the feel of this year's international women's day but the pandemic has hampered efforts to shake up the status quo and slow the already long march to equality. as we look at how an overwhelmingly male venture capital scene makes it hard for berlin's female lead start off to gain financial footing. this is d.w. business i'm. so glad you can join us. now it's international women's day and the

u.s. treasury secretary is calling for her government to do more to improve working conditions for women speaking to the international monetary fund's crystal the nagar gave on monday janet yellen said the global pandemic had an extremely unfair impact on women's income and employment opportunities take a listen women 1st because they tend to be disproportionately represented in the service sector that's been hardest hit have seen tremendous job loss and then because women still disproportionately have the responsibility for caring for children with children out of school. there and responsibilities for taking care of sick relatives or family with 55th dropped out of the labor force

disproportionately as well now our financial correspondent yes carter joins us now from new york can you tell us how much of what yellen said there will really translate towards concrete help towards women in terms of getting back on their feet after the pandemic. it's anonymous standing here in front of a local elementary school and clearly most of the kids at least i'm in this city still not back in school on a regular basis and mostly women actually take care of their children and we've heard stories from many women who actually had to quit their jobs to take care of the kids if anything will really change substantially in the near future remains to be seen one of the cornerstone so would be affordable child care especially in the city child care is really expensive and other one would be paid leave so if women can't go to work that they would get compensated for that those 2 paid leave and

affordable childcare those are 2 of the big cornerstones that has been discussed for quite some time with that's going to eventually change under the biden administration remains to be seated. well a lot to change there in terms of work life balance but meanwhile yellen also has taken pains to call on fears that help on the way now won't translate to further hurt later what more can you tell us. now you know well i mean janet yellen is repeating that the bigger the better also when it comes to the aid package that might land on joe biden staffs him within this week the one concern clearly is that was all the money that's getting spent that the debt load is going to increase quite a bit and the other topic is some inflation you also see the inflation. scare result the money putting down on the table is also spoke in the stock market at least when it comes to technology shares the nasdaq composite down another good show 2 percent
