there's a sticker on it a bit of 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 and danger and that is really stressful ever watched was. stressful is also how hammond would describe her last year she it works as a nurse in an old people's home and burn in the pandemic made her job even harder and again the burden of caring for society's elderly was 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 male domain then women would also

through. both nurses are agreed these improvements have to come and they. have to come soon. now meet turkey's psychedelic rock star i assume akyol who's not afraid to stand up for women's rights. is adore her unique sound on the flinching political position it's. a mini bus ride through a parallel universe and a woman. is in the driver's seat. she loves to bring together traditions and modernity that sounds she revived psychedelic rock a sound that was lost truly popular in turkey in the 1970 s. . how to live them most of my childhood memories are about music

and when i dreamt about my future the music was always there for. the fans love the unique mix of took control music rock and post-punk. and many search gaius abstract lyrics for messages about the situation in turkey. the whole country is a shisha coffee and we as suffocating in its smoke she sings in bottom is that tosh . of us all work and used so it's really become more and more difficult to breathe in this country because there is a lack of justice and rule of law that has deeply wounded this society i feel very injured too it's time for us to stand up for and support each other here in turkey and elsewhere in the world. and the have the. guy is most concerned

about the situation of women. in turkey rights groups warn that domestic violence is on the rise and that the number of women murdered it has dramatically increased in recent years. activists regularly organize protests over the turkish government bans most of them but the guy is proud that women still dare to be loud and demand their rights. to give the couldn't the ins or. when we talk about women in turkey the word oppression automatically comes to mind it's an uphill battle for every woman here who wants to live according to her own ideas but we won't be afraid we will stick together draw attention to ourselves and organize all organs all of the things up. for her fans guy is a role model in terms of self-determination and when it comes to speaking one's

mind. every day counts for us and for our planet. even if it's physically it's way to bring you live concerts. how do we make cities scream how can we protect our budgets and what to do with all our waste. we can make a difference by choosing smaller solutions for steyn said in l.a.

he's. looking. into a series of movies. also on the global end all. but 2050 more than half the world will be living with limited water resources we haven't had to think about our war or worry about. i think that era is over this is the crisis of our time it's a financial problems like any other financial we live in a competitive world is this cold it's cold it's blue cold war peace to be free and the world is changing the most important for managers can be treated. as a war a city or commodity starts march 22nd on d w. 16.

there are a few places on earth as them chanting is this incomparable tara strait islands rising like a series of stepping stones from the shallow arefu or see. some of the tiny coal ash holds others remnants of a land bridge that once joined us straight to pump when you again submerged at the end of the last ice age. there were 274 islands in total but only 21 are inhabited these are home to some 4 and a half 1000 people. the majority of islanders are indigenous there migrants of european and asian origin have joined them. everyone who lives here faces the challenge of staying connected across these beautiful but remote and widely scattered islands this is the story of how some of these people live out their everyday lives.

day island affectionately known as t r y is the region's administratively. all of the far flung island area. the local radio station keeps islanders up to date. good morning to our listeners were. from in here the beautiful. that way today when it's beautiful it is hard so one looks like someone has come around so we're going to be pretty warm today temperature hitting when a bear 30 today so if you're heading out in a bad make sure you do cover up your radio show in w. is something of an institution on t i. just for the families tuning in there outside with the radio broadcasts 24

hours a day in multiple languages and is the only station that reaches the entire tourist straits region sylvia tabular is the acting operations manager but one of her broadcasters phoned in sick so she's at the mike today great to have you good company here on radio. but suppose the beauty about community radio station there it's more personal you get more personal with your listeners because everybody knows everybody around here 1 pm about lunch time and that is a 2.51 meter i think we have survived for like 3 years because of the important role that we play especially getting information out to the community and then we have cultural events that that's happening you know in the different communities and it's really a good way to inform a lot of the elders especially because we're not on facebook.

there's a lot of stories to be told and. i believe it's very important to get the young people involved so that they can keep telling the story. the crucial part of the program the traffic report strong tidal currents mean frequent schedule at dates with the supply ships that are the islands lifeline cheek. you will need to get right on by radio does its level best to keep listeners informed of upcoming events as does the local paper i mean smith prime ensure. that source news is astride is most notably newspaper. sounds pretty glamorous but i'm also a journalist here it's all good and the type of boy so it's a bit of a one man show and. we only print about 2 and a half 1000 copies

a week stuck in a klein was from kings up so on and then a few vandals are stuck on the boats and you're delivering 'd a dozen outlets to. source news is a bit of an old fashioned type of we don't have any online presence so really the only way people can get information say that by the righty any source news. so i never heard of it or strike really before i got this job i thought well it's pretty well known. so the 1st one to have would last 2 years and now which i work at not going to take 10. it's not that it's challenges you know remote living it's so long way to the nearest tree also and being a watchful editing of back to his newspaper it gives you a unique insight to be a minority in your own country. parent how do you i direct some are on staff rights because i think what makes think readers take an exciting news is

that it's like a sports car just you know that's much more important that's always a little story it's a community story is it really really really big i. mean you know can i as a young man. you know an american icon for you know what's the guy's not you know is the ground was having an affair or force is this what i saw the prices it gets under your skin and for love of the price roxbury i'm going to experience i guess living here becoming part of the fabric of the community because you know i come back because she lived and so yes. i think she threads that strengthen the fabric of the community our family and traditional culture with regular performances of time on it songs and dances providing everyone with a sense of continuity and belonging. to. the

. company. but. the coconut palm present on every inhabited island in the region is a measure of the here full family line. this stability and integrity have ancestral roots provide an anchor in time and place. the trunk represents tradition and the extended family or leaves on display symbolize island culture and . every song and every done is a celebration. the island is shared identity an expression of where they see themselves in the world in the past the present and future. but there is little work to be had on the islands many islanders move to the mainland often to ken's. going out.

who i believe is in. church and of course churches has been going on. these days world renowned torres strait and an artist can find they also listen keynes but his thoughts are never far from his church on every donley the tiny island on which he was born. i learned really through the church. to do. in their lives i think about it. as much as can would love to be with family and old friends on all saints day his health prevents him from traveling. so he's come up with a unique solution to be there if not in person then in spirit. he will send an artwork of his own as a gift to the church hammerhead shark trapped in

a giant clam shell. is his totem animal. shouldn't mean movie i'm going to talk to the country and come up my different good. ok. ken talks to his sculptures as he works reinforcing his relationship to them to the stories they seek to tell they're not simply works by ken fidei they represent him absolutely finishing the piece will be a great pleasure getting it to the church on time potentially a logistical nightmare. parklife. the work is knowledge and fragile it's destination incredibly remote. the only way it can get to arab dondi a whopping 845 kilometers from cannes is via

a series of scheduled cargo vessels that service northern australia. to say the torres strait islanders depend on the sea swift services is nothing short of an understatement the freight company is truly a lifeline customizing its operations to suit each community's needs a few road based cars building materials fresh fruit frozen meat and dry goods. it transports these and other essentials to most of the outer islands once a week. it sounds straightforward yet often it's anything but. lucky mcdermott has worked as a deck hand for c. smith for 6 months and is currently assigned to the m.v. titan on a full week on 4 weeks of fry taishan. this limit quite a lot so if you don't do a small bit. it's really important we be quicker with where we put how it's

autumn's on the day. watch things go on the bottom and then the water we construct . control control knowledge. on the direction that we steam roll in the ocean pretty bad so we are going down to people all the good side is we've got. trucks everything you know so you try to have any right or wrong around. up here in the forest rights govern. when the toilets run. we can get in there but the window is really minimal we've got to get in there on the road everything really quickly and get the part rate of the way if we can a couple of hours before the top drops if that top drops you can be stuck there for weeks.

the time it takes to load or unload the time soon depends entirely on the amount of cargo and the time and more often than not that requires a race against time. this ship's captain matt smith actually supervises the precision performance then lay of the forklift. and no worries guy. about the bags will stop putting some of the train out sort of coming up to get it back. yet so when we go out to that owens it's easier to have it all our toys like this some sort of coming back in time and. so we can sort it out before we get to the all. right it's a bit of a jigsaw or a load there's lots of sort of mish. ottomans on board as well as you know you know more pallets and bits and pieces so the boys have done a really good job. matt smith is happy at this rate they will be able to embark on

the return journey before low tide. and for the outer islands to part from the spectacular t.-i harbor. it's always relatively busy here with all kinds of craft zipping through the channel. denise we're 10 years outnumber cars in the region and ferries are the main form of public transportation. if. fishing and hunting are integral to the way of life here many hours the island is still utilize stone will fish traps that were built by their ancestors many centuries ago to catch fish that

that di impact climate change will have in this region. some islands such as bound to have sea walls to protect the low lying areas but others smaller may disappear entirely as ocean levels rise in time and we need a system in which so many islanders depend culturally and economically is already under pressure strict quotas are an attempt to prevent overfishing the commercial season for fishing spiny lobster known here as crayfish has grown shorter and shorter. we only work like 5 months now and we are going to wait another 5 to 6 months. journey on it and his friends on party island try not to get t. disheartened about the restrictions controlling their catch. the 250 ton closest

hot his shells will die. what the temperature up here is the only $24.00 the minimum before but the big misuse of water temperature i think i have agreements are serious. it was a good day for the fishermen of body island. with an old satellite dish for a barbecue and the finest seafood in the world on the grill it simply doesn't get any better than. the words i love you don't ever work again in a live. good morning talentless chilling in the outside when. the looking bit cloudy

a little bit windy. while many tourists strait islanders commute to work each day by boat mid life couldn't do since job requires a vehicle with a little more speed. her pre and post nasal clinics are conducted in situ on the outer islands but when it comes time for women to get there they must fly to t.r.y. to the only hospital in the region. what we're hearing and the target right has its unique challenges and obviously location is my job this one. is long distances that we can't travel by road you know it's all by. it's another stifling hot day on.

children in primary grades once they graduate high school they have no choice but to leave home so a rock solid connection to culture is imperative if islanders are to retain their sense of identity and place once they head off to boarding school. this is something policeman wiley chris knows only too well he grew up in st paul's and attended the community school here now he returns to his old stomping ground every week to share his knowledge of and deep respect for tradition with the next generation. our minimal training gives back in the days 20 years ago. in a class where group c. and so on the wall. when he gives them running is no way we get these ones for more . than a kid the shots the young ones that go for months yet the young should in the middle
