the other game austin all are very well and good score less meaning the spanish side advance after winning the 1st leg you're watching news there's much more on our website and i'll be back on the top of the hour with more headlines stay with us. i. am not proud of them i will not succeed in dividing us about not succeed in taking the people off the streets because we're tired of the stick trying to show that. taking a stand global news that matters d. w. make for minds. the little guys this is the subject the 7 percent stuff. is true issues it sure.

doesn't look like to. talk to. young people today have the solutions to the future. 77 percent. m d w you know. you can do that and look at these people they gathered in front of my house yesterday they surrounded the building block the entrance and would not let anybody out look at them cheering and clapping it's so scary. there's just this one is mr luker from state security. i don't have an issue with you when i opened the door a man told me if you come out i will kill you.

6. her. chin there she knew i am free now at least physically i was able to leave my apartment and move to a friend's house i would have thought that last night but my mind is still very tense down. there i mean we're on the 9th of july 2015 china's police began arresting lawyers and human rights activists in total almost $300.00 were detained and. my husband one shang jiang was one of these lawyers so. hope the whole what you are 28 years after my husband was detained i started writing articles about my experience i went to see government and legal agencies to inquire about my husband that's when i started getting pressure from them what you sow you don't 100 by are.

coming to you in the beginning i lied to my son i said your father's on a business trip. but one day he suddenly asked me my mom why is my dad in prison. was the 1st thing you do was 7 write that i want to hit him with my 20 sword that's what i want to do you. want to get me he and i got i need the fullest you are allowed to be angry and to express your anger but we do not resort to violence we will use the law to solve this problem. what are the key to your retirement i always knew that my husband risk detention.

actually i don't have but i did not imagine the kind of hardship we had to enter. or put it out or dance in that course there were tensions in the past they would for example arrest democracy activists who have been trying to organize a party but that they would go after lawyers on such a scale that is something we did not expect. it would be hard to go through this alone everybody tells you keep quiet don't stir up trouble when i see her we both know we don't speak up. all of us lawyers wives did not know each other before but this has brought us together to share this moment to the car. at the time because i heard her going to. have all. the titles. tell me that. so yes i do. want over for the most desperate thing about this country is not that people are treated unjustly for

. what it really causes disappearing is that when that happens nobody is willing to stand up for them and speak out and to live for you moreover few people even dare to show compassion. when they can't threaten you they can't cheat you into compliance with promises but when that doesn't work they have no more ways to continue speaking the truth is the safest option for us is untruth. for me up with the end of the i need to keep raising our voices we need to continue

expressing a resistance and anger towards the relevant departments and we hope people will continue to pay attention to their stand by them and or would learn that they were cheated of one bore me to the shitty. didn't see for us this is the last time i saw him in the train to sutro i wish. to meet him had he went to sudo to work on a case i joined him to visit some friends call and from there i went to my hometown so eagerly to do it all he had the heart suddenly he stopped answering the phone i tried to get through for a whole morning and truly was home ownership then i knew something terrible had happened. but i did not think it would be such a long time that he's out of it and you know. you're

going to get this feel so distant. what you call i know constantly cried for 6 months i cried so much that people got scared when they looked at my face. every day i would check my phone to see whether there was any news about him and i feel the sound kind out one day i tried to read my messages and i could not recognize some of the characters anymore they were blurred. that's when i understood that i'd cry too much. could have had all. but a couple like i told only one friend. hurt so me. and him how did he ask you. or did you tell him yourself having

a brother that. oh yes me where my father was i made him promise you wouldn't tell anybody it's a secret. though and i'm very nervous and excited i did not sleep i've been waiting for this for 3 and a half years and i sent him back today is his court hearing. and that's what him yesterday around 930 i went downstairs the state security agent came to see me he told me i was not allowed to go to jean where his trial is held so that you know at noon i look down stairs as a 5 state security car. so when i go down in a moment i don't know what will happen so that won't help at all fighters and mark . for.

one thing. you have. to. change ok so we don't i'm nervous i've been through this many times but each time is different races she adrenaline rises every time and you. know. i sent you a message yesterday after trial is not open to the public it concerns state secrets what if my husband disappeared 3 and a half years ago i'm his wife i have the right to attend his trial this is not about somebodies wife it's about state secrets. let me tell you you're still young don't do this kind of work think that you're infringing on other people's dignity you're violating their rights this will take its toll on you as well as

a whole there you. go god yeah so you're going to. indian on here number panel today one sean john was sentenced to 4 and a half years in prison but i firmly refused to accept this verdict i do not recognize it i think the reason is that he has remained firm has not cooperated and not pleaded guilty that's why the verdict is so harsh. well john is not guilty the police and the judges who convicted him. when. he was suffering his most severe in the beginning when they play she will secret prisons. you don't have any contact to the outside world sometimes even the guards don't talk to you touch the end of every day you have to sit or stand you're not

allowed to move. after some time they showed me a photo of my son where i came with his mother to look for me my mother told the doctor that's when i collapsed i cried bitterly and couldn't stop for 3 days i would poorly with any of this and i think if i had been less resilient psychologically i might have gone mad you know when you were for the other. you know your. eyes. is that that one was an app or card tree. before you could sense i was released in april i feel drawn to nature. i enjoy being outdoors often. so i started getting interested in what all these plants are . friend recommended and after that recognizes down through the city that's great

to hear that you know that. you know. the national one but he did or didn't trust my words to express this the feeling to have lost something and then to get it back you know like i cannot find words to express it. it feels like something exceptionally precious. but there is also a feeling of time fear that i might lose them again i don't. know what their users are going to see authorities have revoked my license to practice law but i'm appealing anyway against what has been done to me. i want my case to be heard in court. yes just so gone closure i just came out my son and i were very affectionate with

each other at least superficially but since then the a strange man has become quite visible when i tell him something or criticize him he opposes me out rebels this is something that gives me a headache so i think a lot about how to bridge this gap and to ease the effects of my detention on my son to hire the usual. that if. you. let. me. follow. up.

on equal rights equal chances. with agents. in those countries feeling. for more diversity and equal opportunities in the world of work 1st of all we need their mom but. even now the whole of the world of economics. made in germany. next on d w. to the point of strong opinions clear positions international perspectives. a number of museums here in germany have large collections of song written in africa but the government here is now talking about returning at least some of the priceless treasures to africa so why has it taken so long to find out on to the point to the point. of being 16 s t w. every journey begins with the 1st step and every language with the 1st word published

in the. rico is in germany to learn german why not learn with him simple online on your mobile and free. d w z e learning course speak german made easy. thing . what does it take to make it in the world of business is it all just a game basically coming down to a the luck or skill well of course. a bit of both of those and much small rightly or wrongly various factors dictate who wins the race to the top where we come from perspectives even agenda can all make or break

a korea equal opportunity for all that's the theme for this edition of made leader we used business magazine. now many companies claim to be an equal opportunity employer but so rarely is that actually true lots of things dictate your chances of landing a job including all too often your race however since the killing of george floyd by a white police officer in the united states many corporations have taken a stand on racial prejudice the very 1st time data we used to ponder chin bellow asks whether we're witnessing a game changer. in a game every player begins at the same starting point they all get the same number of chances the rules are clear so whether you win or lose depends more on strategy and luck. we like to think that's also true of the

labor market that anyone's hard work can pay off. but that's not the case especially for some groups like people of color. in germany we still ask the question where are you from far too often people aren't asking who are you and where do you want your career to take you. where you come from still plays a role in our discourse and our attitudes toward the more we win. and in hiring too it's a problem that mostly affects ethnic minorities and they often face similar barriers in the workplace that's also why blacks and people of color are more likely to end up in lower skilled and lower paid careers. the picture is very different at the top. corporate boardroom in germany much like in france the u.k. and the u.s.

don't reflect the societies they come from at this level of leadership does little by way of racial diversity and yet the words race ethnicity and racism i'm missing from discussions about diversity in corporate germany. is used i don't think it's definitely the case that most companies and most employers avoid using the word racism they think it's a dangerous word. and it expresses something that doesn't apply to them. so there's still a lot of education to be done between. and germany is not alone in that the european network against racism says ethnic minorities and migrants of color especially face significant discrimination across europe. what is the common type of exclusion that you see from the labor market and europe what we see is that racialized groups racialized individuals might have

a very high level of experience and qualifications but they are actually in low level. low qualified jobs and those who say this risk of exploitation for certain groups when he get into the more corporate sector is you see that there is wage disparities according to different rich racialized groups where whites people may earn more money doing the same work and unemployment rates are. also higher for people of color and ethnic minorities you can see that there is a difference between the national unemployment rates and the unemployment rate for migrants with the unemployment rate for migrants being higher c.e.c. in different countries that ethnic minorities might be experiencing exclusion from the labor market based on various different reasons whether that's juice of

the population in that specific country or the history of colonialism and the history of slavery that we know exists in in europe the global discussion on racism has shifted since the killing of george floyd in may 2020 in the u.s. triggered a wave of black lives matter protests which reverberated across the globe. thousands gathered in solidarity in cities across europe while also calling for racial justice at home. from. the protests have changed how many u.s. companies are responding to social justice movements several american brands issued statements supporting the calls for racial justice from the black lives matter movement by august 2020 corporate america reportedly pledged more than $7000000000.00 to support efforts to fight racism leaders recognize

they were in a position of influence but also that there was a demand if they wanted to eat their consumers happy with their products and services corporations are really the most powerful entity and society have a mensch influence over all we're seeing or work. over host of issues that our society wrestles with. chris miller works for ice cream maker ben and jerrys heading the company's social justice campaigns the company took a stand on racial justice years ago that began supporting the black lives matter movement in 2016 still they vents of last year changed everything. the murder of george florida and the resulting protests showed was that there was increasing expectation and perhaps a redefinition around what it means to be

a corporate citizen and that corporations. were being looked to to be a part of the dialogue that's happening in society ben and jerry's has launched a podcast on the history of racism in the us and consulting firm mckenzie established the institute for black economic mobility which advances research on racial equity those are just 2 examples of how u.s. corporations are signaling their desire to take part in the ongoing dialogue on racial justice. we cannot address the underlying racism that exists the systemic and structural nature of it in unless we can. admit that racism exists whether it's the you know the movement around the rights and dignity of seekers and refugees in europe or for

that matter the work that we're doing around climate justice in australia. corporate america is advertising its efforts to grapple with racism and to engage with society on questions of racial justice in europe things are a bit more complicated many researchers anti-racism activist and diversity experts say that european companies still haven't engaged with the reality of racism the lack of data. in many european countries to show that the effects and impact of racial discrimination helps corporates avoids this issue in europe the biggest opportunity is capturing all the information that's out there are around different ethnic groups racial groups. and with that valuable data or information companies can do wonders in the sense of

recognizing where where their challenge the using but you just solve this we have to create very transparent hiring situations there needs to be that mutual respect . well i'm not winning today i'm definitely losing but at least i know what the rules are but that's not what it's like with racism or any form of discrimination it's like playing a game where the walls are always changing and you end up being excluded without knowing what the will rules are. now every so often a stark reminder comes along of how far we still have to go with equal opportunity for all one of those came no that long ago when russia made dozens of jobs available to women sometimes the very 1st time believe it or not women have been

barred from driving metro trains and really showing reports on bond drivers long wait to get behind the wheel. women are finally in the driving seat and are pushing full speed ahead on gender equality in the russian capital. started working for the moscow metro almost 18 years ago at the time women were not allowed to operate subway trains in russia but arenas says for her it was worth the wait. this is my childhood dream i used to play with model ships and airplanes with the boys my father was a pilot so why the metro somehow it drew me in the fact that it's underground i guess it's like flying but under the ground. before every shift irina gives the metro train she'll be driving a once over here you know was a station guard on the platform for years helping out passengers since january she's a driver now she tries to get

a sense of each individual metro train. treat each train like a person and i think each train has a soul to the feeling of driving the metro is like pure happiness i'm happy when i'm driving. irina is proud to be one of the 1st 12 female metro drivers after all the moscow subway is legendary the soviet government started building it in the 1930 s. calling it a palace for the people for commuting workers in the 1980 s. the government decided women had no place driving these trains they said the metro is too deep underground too loud and too dark for women and the vibration from the trains could damage their so-called childbearing function even now women drivers are only being deployed on the most modern trains and only operate one line that runs partially over ground despite the fact that they get the exact same training

as their male counterparts he has her dream job. and the next group of women will start training to become drivers soon but outside of these metro tunnels gender equality is still a long way off. gender inequality is still a major issue in workplaces the world over women are less likely to rise to the top of organizations and on the way of they can expect to be paid less than men doing the same job plus the gender pay gap is not the only inequality that leaves women out of pocket. women and men enjoy the same rights and opportunities right not by a long shot considered getting a bank loan to buy a home for example how things turn out often depends on the applicant's gender and where they live. in india. was turned down by several banks because she's an

unmarried woman in $117.00 countries creditors are not prohibited from denying bones on the basis of gender what's more in most economies women are over represented amongst those without a bank account women and men enjoy the same rights and opportunities hardly take the world of work women are much more likely to do unimpeded work than men on family farms in family businesses and in particular caring for others those that do get paid often earn a lot less than their male counterparts the gender pay gap fare is from country to country that has to do with politics and tradition women are also sorely under represented in top jobs among germany's 30 leading blue chip companies there is just one female c.e.o. named gary ho at merck and she was only appointed this year same rights and same opportunities at least before the law right nope in more than 100 countries certain

occupations are reserved for men in russia for example female ship captain spent years fighting for the right to helm of the essel 100 jobs are still off limits to women in russia what about maternity leave and pay in more than $50.00 countries employers alone are responsible for maternity pay there is no state support that's a significant disincentive for hiring women because it could get expensive equal rights and opportunities for all what can be done to achieve that making laws fair would be a good start. even the most well meaning recruits can be influenced by their own biases be they conscious or otherwise that's why bosses are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence to help them objective lay choose the best candidate but does taking the human out of human resources actually work elizabeth layman. it

report. these people all have at least one thing in common they're considered attractive by conventional standards. in a beauty contest held by the mobile beauty dot ai the finalists were chosen by an all robot jury the results guaranteed to be objective. over 6000 selfies were submitted from all over the world. but surprisingly nearly all of the winners were white. it turns out the artificial intelligence was trained using data from central europe and wasn't good at assessing faces from elsewhere. joy is one of the leading ai researchers. she's sounding the alarm about serious discrimination. we really have to think about widespread mysterious and destructive algorithms that are increasingly being youth and make decisions that

impact more aspects of our lives so who gets hired or fired you get that loan do you get insurance or you admitted into the college that you wanted to get into. recruiting new staff a number of firms in germany a i software that analyzes the applicants voice body language and word usage. companies like hire of you claim this makes recruiting more objective promoting diversity and gender equality but experts like lorraine see are skeptical she analyzed $38.00 recruitment tools on behalf of the german government. a lot of this technology is based on theories that are disputed by sociologists and psychologists. and some of the theories were actually debunked long ago and. i'm talking about concepts like the big 5. the.

big 5. the big 5 personality traits our openness conscientiousness extroversion agreeableness and emotional stability the ai software puts candidates in these boxes and draws conclusions about their capabilities agreeable to us for example is seen as inconsistent with management skills the software includes empathy in that box women in particular may be very empathetic so the software assumes they're unsuitable for management positions plus the big 5 traits are based on european and north american societies in asia on the other hand diligence is valued more highly the software disregards that. the european union uses one such tool cameo for korean staff but for now it's leaving the ai function deactivated. as much. i think we 1st need to take a broader look at the use of software that's designed to evaluate people. and ask

ourselves whether that's even possible that this technology had. a lot of them are essentially unethical and unscientific. and they shouldn't even be on the market. and i'm just kind of shocked and mocked and yet more and more software is being used worldwide. we can start thinking about how we create more inclusive code and employ inclusive coding practices relief starts with people are we creating full spectrum teams with diverse individuals who can check each other's blind spots on the technical side are we factoring in fairness as we're developing systems we now have the opportunity to unlock even greater equality if we make social change a priority and not an afterthought. but evaluating people more fairly clearly

involve a much more complex process and that would cost the ai developers more money. now with or without artificial intelligence employers are going to have to face up to the diversity that comprises modern societies and to their credit many of them are making a real effort to better reflect the differences in the wider world within their organizations take. itself while we have over 60 different countries represented but is that true all i have a chapter. women and men young and old people of various ethnic backgrounds with different religions and worldviews different sexual orientations with and without disabilities the don't develop team in berlin is a colorful mix. i wanted to know how does it work at other companies how big a variety is there and how do the bosses deal with it.

often doesn't on this t.v. commercial for germany's 2nd biggest mail order group is also making a statement about openness and tolerance. it's a vision of a corporate culture that excepts people for who they are. that may be every day life for workers at auto these days. but it wasn't always like that. it was sports. even in germany in 2020 it's far from uncontroversial that we run ads featuring homosexuals and we get hateful comments online sometimes really disgusting hurtful remarks we just have to accept it and we make a conscious decision to do that and i think it's important that we do accept it because sometimes showing this attitude can help you endure.

bad time could never work in a company where he has to keep his sexuality a secret. he set up an l g b t q network where employees can exchange ideas and find support many people are afraid to come out according to a recent study every 3rd. person in germany experiences discrimination at work. let's say i'm not out and a colleague asks me about it then i only have 2 options i can lie or i can be forced to reveal my sexuality. that's why it's so important for a company regardless of its diversity management policy to create a corporate culture that promotes openness and diversity. we live through old catalogs from the seventy's to the ninety's. a time when you couldn't order fashion online. almost all female and male models are white

caucasians and. if if you look here all of these models are one type of person they're basically all white women of the i don't know about you but when i look at it from today's perspective it's a distorted picture of the world. things look very different today any company trying to sell products to the general public has to take social diversity into account. it's often difficult for homosexuals or transsexual men or women to find work but more and more companies are hiring at special john fairs like sticks and stones in berlin. and stewart cameron was one of the fair organizers he knows from personal experience what discrimination feels like the o.e.c.d. estimates that a candidate's chances drop by 50 percent if it's in their papers. that

discrimination is mostly very in direct for example you don't get invited to certain meetings or you don't get the promotion you're in line for you don't even get invited in the 1st place. it was the same with me when it came out that i was gay and it was really remarkable to see how colleagues suddenly started to become more distant like carson he got scratched in the company parking lot. so it was very important for me to find out which companies out there really don't care who backed me if i have a problem who can i turn to and do i truly believe that this company believes in this is. using his experience he started his own business and now advises companies on how they can better address diversity issues . in germany as a.p. is considered a model company on matters of diversity there are workers from 118 countries at the

software company's headquarters. different cultures and ways of thinking and styles of communication meet here. diversity needs to be managed or otherwise there could be problems. ahead of personnel was forced to flee afghanistan for germany as a 14 year old on his own. today he's responsible for over 20000 workers. from the company's point of view openness to diversity means locating the best talent for the respective job in the respective team we have these talents everywhere there not only white or german but could be indian male homosexual acts at aurora if you only look at the specific requirements of a job a diverse team automatically emerges with. large companies can

benefit from an open corporate culture mixed teams often achieve better results precisely because they have a harder time together. i think we have to do it because it's the right thing to do because the world has different says they are going to have to accept we've also noticed that teens are more innovative when they don't all come from the same pot metaphorically speaking of the teams in about a dozen other austin blyton. but of course this also applies in recruitment if we're more open as employers and we are a more attractive option right that's why it's not just an end in itself but it's also a good fit and has quantifiable advantages for corporate success but even. allowing diversity in a company is a challenge which ultimately. that's all for this edition
