their very own personal. people. to chesterfield remember. and they share private footage with us that has been seen before. bactrim movie starts april 28th on w. . you know. the. gender equality is not the mythical concept it used to be for centuries scores and scores of women and men around the world have fought to bring us to the point to be

what equal rights are basic but there are still many parts of the world that are struggling to accept this 2 activities the friend demick has brought up in the qualities too before women have to fight harder. to have their wife says ideas. equal india was introduced to some of the women fighting the good fight to save our and why that. menstruation a natural phenomenon has the power to negatively impact goes right to education in hoover in india lack of access to sanitary products dysfunctional toilets in the school premises a gap in a venice of menstruation hygiene all these and more a contributing factor as an organization is helping girls and young women solve this problem in the environmentally friendly way. rolling dice for education.

what these women are doing at a state run middle school in the countryside in. each square represents an aspect of monthly menstruation the game gives the girls a chance to learn about the changes the female body undergoes doing her body a taboo topic and a lot of girls often choose to stay home when they have deputies. but being bebo avivim made many home visits and try to ask them why they are insisting that. who wants someone too scared to attend classes that we had no way to persuade the parents so many girls would be forced to drop out. for as many as 20 percent of the girls in india drop out of the school when they begin menstruating a lack of bathrooms for good feelings of shame and the social sounding the topic of some of the reasons even girls who don't drop out of school miss an average of 50

days in this we're here to menstruation issues that's the case for 15 year old cooper. began might be due to start i feel very unwell i feel sick my stomach hurts i feel anxious i'm moody and i also was beaten back. in the countryside girls and women primarily done to make do with old clothes which often do this can lead to disease and even infertile. the sucky project wants to change that with the help of vending machines they provide goes with free sanitary napkins. they were manufactured by women in the surrounding villages which gives them a source of income and that's not the only benefit. and there are things which initially we didn't even know about sanitary about the

families or them only so i'm going girls knew about this yet but we did have a body that began after we set up the unit you know we understood what senator enough times are how the army and there are many benefits earlier in the grose we have to travel into the city new departures even i thought would be that we're making them right here those that are accessible to us by joe a much more likely data in the gum mother unit not by the family if i go to the logical unit if there were a young guy my feelings he said. these parts sell for 3 to be less than a 3rd of industrially manufactured with us being made from natural materials like football or banana plan 5 that also environmentally friendly and productive generally contain a large amount of lost. however there is still the problem of trash that's also something slutty the dick who leads the sucky project is working on. the religious because of the fuel problem because the garbage collection system that they visit

and all times it is that was not there and you can't expect there are where you are all good you will just see her beauty is going dig a hole you know her luck is in there the solution is small clear evidence the project provides them the vision at low cost since the senator the napkins are made of biological materials the smoke and ash is the emit when done a less harmful to the environment. it's required here we temperature to dispose of the napkins our practices are very different we say why not. are getting back disposed all at once i currently under 100 degrees so why not use something which is you know which doesn't clear your of temperature at all. then let's make the

process also a girl a village girl she knows how to like the tuna so the process should be direct simple these feminine hygiene products are now being produced in 24 states and for some of the women this work has become something of a calling. why them i don't like this i'm having nobody was working on the issue of menstrual hygiene before. doing this work brings me joy i can educate our girls and make them understand one thing like all this stuff on the way we used to for those of us have in this jar the was beside me was the way that i think it would come when not. in more than 3000 schools and will any as i'm good at out of school girls receive free sanitary napkins from the sucky project in addition to education about good on borders. the sanitary pads have made a big difference and they've done much more than create jobs during the pandemic.

they have also given them in baghdad big when they are having their beer and girls the chance to attend school without dropping go because of months duration. now these women in a slowly inching to it's a level playing field but there's such a long way to go not only for them but for women all across the world big architects in germany for example the industry has long been mill dominated just a coat of architects and city planners in germany our women we met an architect who is causing a sensation with a sustainable building concepts. this are you veda center in the halls and home southern germany looks like a huge bird's nest it's made of durable larch work and untreated willow.

on a having got designed it. she's considered a pioneer in sustainable construction. i know i have and i want to change the world but architecture for this on a relies on teamwork and on natural building materials like clay which creates a pleasant indoor climate all. around that is where you're going to give me one thing though i designed this project with martin how i work the process was very intuitive so we had to follow our gut instinct somewhat the appropriate proportions and materials were for the site. correct. in germany claims more expensive than conventional building materials and it has a bad reputation but clay offers many advantages it stores heat absorbs harmful substances and is environmentally friendly. is also loosely in addition clay is water soluble and that's

a very important quality because that makes it easy to recycle and clay is simple to repair it's an edge breaks off you just let it off and press it back on where it fell off it looks just the same. mankind's oldest building material has another advantage it can be worked by hand without any expensive machinery on a having discovered her passion for clay and other local resources at the age of 19 during a year abroad in bangladesh she returned a few years later to carry out her 1st construction project there. she won her 1st award for a school in the photo op or that she designed in 2004 for her final design thesis. since then ana has been building with clay and a clear conscience 1st projects took her to asia and africa. in 2013 construction began in china on these hostels made of rammed earth stones

and bamboo this was on a helping guys contribution to the long gone international be an olive the design is reminiscent of chinese lanterns. she built this stunning daycare center in zimbabwe in 2014 and a half inches sustainable building concept is in demand worldwide and she's happy to. asked on her knowledge she currently teaches at harvard and in munich madrid in zurich and is one of the few men to run her own architectural firm if there's still a huge imbalance between men and women in architecture and we really need to focus more on empowering women and entrusting them with the same construction tasks as men because we can build. again and again she feels drawn back to bangladesh. she values participation highly and equal rights as well at the time the whole village

both men and women joined in to build this 2 story therapy center for the disabled . on a having goes 1st building to be made of clay in europe went up in 2016 birthing room and austria's for outback state. she practices the architecture she preaches in her own home as well a remodeled by 100 year old farmhouse with offices downstairs and family space up stairs she and her daughter miriam came up with the idea for this reading cave with some of the neighborhood children. is what. building it was such a great experience each day we dig into some wet clay and add a bit more to the construction that's the kind of thing you learn when you work in places like bangladesh or guyana or zimbabwe where you can get everyone by the big and small to pull together. that way you can create something wonderful together

something to be proud of. back in rosenheim on earth for just ahead she's on a schedule once this project and the various completed move on to the next construction site in ghana. i want to use architecture to improve living conditions bolster social justice and cultural diversity and preserve this planet for future generations. for the common . for and with each new design on a comes a step closer to achieving this she may not change the world from one day to the next but even rome wasn't built in a day. at the end of the beach job is a job if i am able to perform it effectively it shouldn't matter where on the gender spectrum i like a beekeeper. she took a job traditionally. we did not do you see breaking the glass ceiling she's also

raising awareness for a picture. it's usually men who wear this kind of outfit in kosovo they are hardly any female beekeepers in the country sheepish shiela is one of them. an electric fence protects her hives from the bears that still roam this area near presuming kosovo's 2nd largest city. this shar manton's national park just to the self is a refuge for balkan links this species of wild cattle endangered there are only a few dozen of them left. sheepish has 150 beehives she's the boss and her husband works for her that's quite an unusual set up but it works for them. we're feeling a poor norm. positon in the all we like to do things systematically. i

start from one and. my husband starts from the other huruma control or inquiry like to compete. it's kind of a game to see who can check more beehives. today it looks like a toy once the inspections are done charlotte takes care to extinguish the coal in her smoker which is used to come the bees a forest fire could have disastrous consequences then she reveals a little trade secret. in order not to mix the this is our bees wax harvest from this autumn we use it to create new hives it's a lot of work but this is the most natural option for the dog and instead of using mass produced industrial wax unfortunately the government doesn't provide any funding for the extra effort involved but it's the only way to treat our bees well

informed grandma. and it's worth the effort she doesn't have any trouble finding buyers for her organic honey. it sells for twice the price of the honey sold at street side markets beekeeping sheep breeding and she's making are an important part of the economy in kosovo the youngest and smallest nation in the balkans. shallow went abroad to study organic farming methods. nowadays environmental activists come to see her to learn how she applies organic methods to be keeping. the aim is to raise awareness across kossovo of eco friendly farming practices. i attended a workshop in germany i learned a lot about animal welfare which nobody here knows anything about i'm now giving courses to pass on this knowledge i hope people will come to realise we have to

protect me. and that includes being as they are so important for the environment. nature conservation can be an uphill battle. the director of the shark mountains national park has been sounding the alarm. he says there are just 8 rangers patrolling the park's 500 square kilometers he also says that they need at least 3 times as many ranges. far mentalists could help us by bringing our staff shortage to the attention of the government. but there are also other problems to address such as illegal logging and garbage. provide also the construction of hydroelectric power plants. in kosovo and neighboring albania hydro power plants are still widely considered an

eco friendly way to generate electricity but building more of them alongside illegal timber felling would further shrink the habitats of endangered species such as bess lynx and wolves. we have to pay more attention to our natural environment especially in the national park this also affects my business. if forest clearance and everything that goes along with it is allowed to go on i will eventually lose my beliefs. because of a gained independence in 2008 it's only natural she says that it will take a while for such a young country to sort things out sheepish for one remains optimistic. in a traditional society like india gender equality is a complex gone musician art is possibly one of the we still start this conversation

down the header uses comics and graphic narratives to do just that let's meet this visual artist to see how she's using her art to break some barriers in indian society. i think we and we mean ourselves often stop ourselves show almost being fake and being fearless in imagining what we can meet i think there's a lot of court decisions that need to be had and more than gee this is the new picture i mean expectations o'grady to me are actually our social structure. says working with art allows her to best expresses ideas and her perspective on life. she's inspired by feminist leaders and people's movements this is reflected in her drawings and the issues on which she's chosen to focus. in the

early twenty's either was captivated but something entirely new what she called the magic of bringing text and images together to create powerful narratives like this book on an eco feminist who led a movement against the forestation in india that being married or if you were a city though being part of the story is something that i don't want to produce work that's just standard you know. i wanted to be a conversation. and that's why if you going to do me good comics and graphic magnets. that engages with women from marginalized communities she's traveled to remote regions to day she saw the transformative potential of ott. before sanity said no no it's the have who live. in speedy sing flown family

off the meadows in their communities to see if they can see if you live there we be one. over there to see you know you need to you can express for your ideas are in your dreams are just to do that is a full stage is really really important i feel to be able to have that chance to go on and think this through easy that we came together to look at what it means to think of ourselves is as as a genius as people who are defying our edited. gnostic was drawn to a mass movement led by been in delhi. the shaheen box sit in protest at a major public highway was against the government citizenship amendment act critics said the legislation was discriminatory against muslims it was absolutely unbelievable to be on

a public high read blocking that species of course but having really speaks so strong be up honesty it and so clearly about who are democratic ranks are and what citizenship meet the only reference i could express what i'm hearing through and drawing everything come back to my studio and me close to sports terms on board in hindi and english even sports isn't drawings on this piece where protests have not been compiled into a book. a powerful graphic narrative of women at the forefront of a mass movement. at the same time we see what the government of the state is doing to young women who speak out and of choice to say so we did these 2 kind of context mean being at the forefront of people's movement activist steve that state of crushing it weren't big doing anything saying it is a moment that i would think we can meet or beat is what we want and.

life eater we met another innovator in germany god only in bark feel strongly about protecting the environment and about the need for equality in patriarchal societies around the world solution she created an eco friendly and sustainable game to tackle both of these in one go let's take a look. faster card games are simply a means of expressing gender justice and diversity to show that no matter whether you're a black woman or a gay man you can reach any position you want. on paper all people are supposed to be equal but that's not yet the case in reality.

i want to illustrate that we can change small things now every day a lot of things that determine our behavior and way of thinking and so we can bring topics like racism equality to the kitchen table you can play with your grandparents you can play with your parents or with your uncle around for example and so playfully see how society can be shaped. images shape us we grow up with pictures we constantly see images in books in the media in advertising that attribute roles that show what women and men are meant to look like and they are made to picked men and women the gender binary for example that's why it's so important to change visual language and if kids of color play

with face cards and can recognize themselves for example or if i play with them and i can see a queen that means i can also reach the top position. a subclass i believe acquire she is an issue everywhere especially justice in the climate debate there's a big discussion about privilege about her makes decisions who's involved in that is. process for example a great many women are affected by climate change that's hard about the psyche yet many decisions are only made by men and by very small portion of society. and the problem comes before one person in particular namely miriam a person wearing a headscarf here in germany we didn't want to depict any religion actually and we did a workshop with her and she told us about her experience of discrimination and she

was a person where we noticed we needed to have a woman with a headscarf here in the deck and there was no way around it even when we were trying to avoid depicting religion yes she was definitely a person who gave us quite a loss. and . i constantly ask myself whether it's worth it it's a lot of vested a big time investment but every time someone comes up to maine says that school or an affected person told me what i'm doing is important and then i know why i do it and that's wonderful. oh. god. and any of the change because we've introduced you to the we don't put it into play. tomorrow or next month or next year but with the smallest of actions we're inching closer to an equal would a sustainable planet that we can be proud of i'll leave you with that thought and

see you again next week for all of us in india and germany. the. odds.

assembly meanwhile martin lee who is 82 years old and known as hong kong's father of democracy has been given an 11 month suspended sentence almost 1700000 people joined in pro-democracy marches in the city 2 years ago. well for more we are now joined by correspondent phoebe a congress she is in hong kong where she has been tracking that all important court sentence sentences have been handed down phoebe how harsh word they put it in perspective for us. have been saying in the courtroom 3rd the day to observe the sentencing and right after the church and now as the sentence is on the all 10 if and. room has burst into a kind of i. chants of protest logan so a lot of supporters show up today to attend the hearing to show senator solidarity

to the defendants and also to protest against the sentence it's a wish they think is unjust and in response though many of the defendants i have spoken to over the previous weeks that they said oh well prepared for cho term but still. at a moment when they were sentence that they chanted slogans inside a courtroom insisted on there is no there is nothing criminal to all the nice and attend and unauthorized assembly there is a peaceful one although without permission from the police that they insisted that this is not just to see follow this obedience now. i was the most arguably the most prominent defender today in court talk to us about the significance of his 4th 14 month sentence and also tell us

a little bit about him what makes him so remarkable. yes jimmy i have saved one of the most hideous sentence we've seen today that he is the founder of the very famous and the biggest opposition news outlet in hong kong. only has been outspoken critic of the chinese government and also the hong kong government a local level that. the sentence is this is a fair sentence that he faced lie in his life though there was multiple charges he is to face a pending further act and sentence in the future but this is a very symbolic moment that he is officially sent to jail for the very 1st time in his life and speaking about these sentences today that many of the defendants that they received jail terms though how have the defendants 5 of them were given

suspended sentences but that doesn't mean that the case and at this point the prosecution may still make an appeal against the sentences and that means they are still facing other charges that there's the u.s. chance for them to go to jail any time soon in the future if you become reporting from hong kong thank you very much. japanese prime minister yoshi day it soon got is to be the 1st world leader told face to face talks with the u.s. president joe biden mr zyuganov where as a leader a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier in arlington national cemetery you will meet president biden at the white house later and increasingly a sort of china is likely to be the focus of this one day something. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. chinese president xi jinping says he wants to step up efforts to tackle climate change mr

she made the pledge in online talks with chancellor on the american and french fries as in one of my coffee americal and marco welcome to mr she's a confirmation of china's goal of becoming carbon neutral by the year 2061. iran says it has begun enriching uranium at 60 percent the highest level it has achieved so far the process takes iran closer to the purity needed to produce a nuclear weapon a suspected israeli attack on a key facility has complicated talks aimed at reviving tehran's nuclear deal who broke powers. and french president a man of my car has held talks with the ukrainian leader of a lot amir's olinsky on escalating tensions with russia german chancellor angela merkel also joined by video link they called on moscow to halt a military buildup along its border with ukraine. several people have been killed in a shooting in the u.s. city of indianapolis gunfire broke out at the fed ex depot near the airport police

have confirmed that the gunman is dead. and now to a graphic video released in chicago footage from a police body camera appears to show a 13 year old boy dropping a handgun and raising his hands just before an officer shoots and kills them please note that this next report contains images that are upsetting. creepy officer involved incident started with a call to an emergency line early morning march 29th released by the city of chicago. chicago emergency stamper having was about 7 every country. 12300. 2300 block of oh yeah i'm hearing a lot of commotion right now. officer eric stillman was there not long after he got out of his car in 1900 seconds later

a single shot. stabbed. stillman called for medical help not part of our care i'm going from here now. then implored toledo just a conscious. but he's been shot in the chest. they were. still in started 1st aid as other officers arrived they tried to save 13 year old adam too late i was fading life. meanwhile investigating officers pointed their flashlights at a gun on a fence line just behind where the shooting occurred. adam toledo's attorney and family know that police will rely on that handgun to defend officer stillman's actions if he had a gun he tossed it the officer said show me your hands he complied he turned around

there's a still photo going around on the internet with his hands up and he shot in the middle of his chest quite chicago has a reputation as one of the most violent cities in the us where gun crime is rampant as is mistrust of the police. so while we don't have enough information to be the judge and jury of this particular situation it is certainly understandable why so many of our residents are feeling an all too familiar surge of outrage and pain. in the wake of the release of the video mayor laurie lightfoot called for calm knowing that latino and other minority communities will be watching closely an investigation into another officer involved shooting. the world health organization says covert $1000.00 cases around the world are rising and worrying rates the director general is warning that the shop increases are being seen in country each countries rather which have so far escaped widespread

outbreaks around the will cases and is continuing to increase warning rates globally the number of new cases but we cause nearly doubled over the past 2 months. this is approaching the highest rate of infection that we have seen so far during the pandemic. and here in germany this country seeing its highest rise in coronavirus cases since january 1 of the main reasons is the slow pace of vaccinations fewer than one in 5 germans has been given a 1st dose but the vaccination drive has picked up speed in recent days among those getting a 1st jab was none other than chance on america the 66 year old was given the astra zeneca vaccine and said she was quote delighted. political correspondent and young joins so my still i'm packing here simon how much of a shot in the arm for the vaccination drive in germany is chance americal receiving

her astra zeneca jab today. well of course age does show that the vaccination campaign is he's moving forward but in some ways i suppose you could say it shows that he's moving forward roll the slowly here in germany engler medical is 66 years old and she's only getting her 1st shot now so as as is ripping reportage you know we're not moving forward as quickly as many would like but. who didn't seek to make a media moment out of this as is a way they just released that picture of a vaccination booklet and the statement saying they chose the very place to get the the jab and also saying that vaccination she says is the key to get out of this pandemic meanwhile they're still debating a lawmakers about you know introducing

a stricter measures to well to tame the 3rd wave let's take a listen to what chancellor merkel had to say in the parliament today. them enough but i've seen more not if we've learned a lesson 13 months into the pandemic it's this. that's a virus doesn't forgive any half heartedness it only makes things worse here the virus doesn't forgive hesitation it just makes everything last longer. the virus doesn't accept any negotiations it understands only one language the language of determination the chance of their making her case or earlier are we simon going to finally see german lawmakers stepping up to the plate and finally taking a stance that public health officials and medical staff have been pleading for now . i think ultimately we will because most medical experts say we are in the middle of a 3rd wave and they're already seeing the signs of that with real pressure on many

hospitals around the country but there's been quite a lot of all government about these measures particularly the ones that people's personal freedoms has been part of the plan is to impose night time curfews when the infection rates go up and there's also talk about you know going back to closing schools just when people were hoping i think that there would be a lot more opening up america who says that every day counts but it looks as if this legislation might not actually pass through paula meant until the end of next week so it's a battle of the political level but some people feel that this legislation really will help. now in conclusion assignment we're beginning to see glimmers of hope this week with vaccinations finally kicking into gear will this be enough to break the 3rd wave or at least contain it. well as i say the belief is

that vaccination is essential and it's an essential part of the program but it's also true to say that germany's rollout has been very slow we've now had over $20000000.00 doses of vaccine delivered but that's still only 18.5 percent of the population that's had even one jab so you know it's not moving as fast as it needs to elsewhere and if a seriously infectious variant so mutations that cause serious disease arise that could really complicate the picture. the political correspondent reporting thank you very much. and before i let you go zookeepers in havana cuba are celebrating the birth of not one but 4 bengal tiger cubs including a rare white tiger while the new arrivals are the result of 2 decades spent trying

to breed the endangered animals at the zoo why tigers are genetic variation of bengal tigers which are usually orange numbers in the wild have dwindled in recent years due to poaching deforestation and hunting. some much needed good news therefore you are reminded of the top story that we're tracking this hour several hummock of hong kong's most prominent democracy campaigners have been sentenced over antigovernment protests media tycoon and jim ely has been jailed for 14 months and 82 year old marcus lee known as hong kong sponsor of democracy and a suspended sentence. next stuff as my colleague robert watson robbed watson with your business updates.
