8:45 am
later sentence to pay a find we return to yvonne of april said, i was making videos for his blog. the demonstrators were prone valley, but they were in the minority. like everywhere in russia, nobody go there standing there because of navarro. ne, courtesy, i've heard of him. of course. he's a bad person. everyone says so in the event of a to it takes courage to stand up for next enough. only difference when rested. even though saggy was only filming videos, he was still taken to the police station with the others. he would be back in court . it was a bitter pill to run into his ex coworkers. he told us later. so many acquaintances on the square or we didn't say anything and they kept their eyes on
8:46 am
the ground, but i recognized them was most of his former fellow officers wouldn't understand him. anyone can tell us like the majority of people in russia, they're not interested in politics. throughout the whole country, only 3 cases have come to light of officers resigning over recent affairs and violence against protesters. sergey wants to run for a seat in the state do, ma'am, the russian parliament. but he is currently facing criminal charges for allegedly insulting unofficial, if convicted, he wants to be allowed to run for office. reddish elite universities are known for excellent quality education. but now thousands of students are speaking up about sexual abuse on campus. emily eisenberg is condemning what she calls a huge culture of fear. the students at the university of warwick wants their campus to be a safe space for them to learn and develop without the fear of being harassed or
8:47 am
even raped me. part of the university experience for many women in britain is a constant fear of sexual violence. emily eisenberg can confirm, she's the 1st year english student at the university of warwick and coventry. she says she knows female students who've been attacked on campus. i haven't met ago who haven't encountered something on campus like kat cooling and comments and then like, that's great. paying does harassment like fill on cases of rape date, rape and being dropped and stuff like that. it's everywhere for month, where we students have been protesting against what they are calling reap culture. emily is one of the organizers she's had her share of that experiences. one occurred in her dormitories kitchen during a party. i had
8:48 am
a close friend of mine who i completely feel i could trust. he ended up groping me in my kitchen. and then after that he sent his friends a series of voice notes about me that they've been played to me about like kind of how he was looking at my body and how he was starting to come back to university. so he could have it way with me. the fact that you're afraid of and free body around you, turning into this monster somebody that could physically hurt you is a terrifying thought session living mixed accommodation. and you're just afraid for your friends coming home at night. and they should be like that especially on campus were meant to be safe. yet the students are taking action against sexual violence in any form. they've made specific demands of the university administration. a small group has occupied the campus for about 2 months and they say all too often culprits get off got free while victims don't get the support they need to the support services at the moment. a very, very paul,
8:49 am
they're not saying what they should do. the underfunded understaffed, so we want to be, we want to make sure that survivors have enough support off their incident. we would have liked to confront the university administration with the allegations, but a request for an interview with turned down. instead, they issued a statement on the internet saying, our policy on sexual misconduct is clear, it will not be tolerated. the measures include improvements to st lighting. but the women say that doesn't go nearly far enough, even if they have to stand their attempts and study for their exams and wind and rain. they will not budge until the administration agrees to all their demands. so much of it is about attitude change because they just don't seem to take the crisis seriously. but we're also demanding, like retraining security retraining bounces on retraining of the stuff you live in all buildings because they're not qualified to deal with this. the problem is not limited to universities, of course. so miss sarah 1st experienced sexual harassment as a teenager at
8:50 am
a london school. she disgusted on social media, her instagram account gathered followers inge roof. i was immediately overwhelmed up to sharing story with messages from pretty much anyone i've really ever met or reaching out to me saying how much the resume to my story. and she began sharing stories of rate and assault and harassment and restored to me so far over $16000.00 women and girls, including many students at prestigious private school, have shared their experiences with her. the problems by no means new. so missouri emphasizes, but technology have given corporate new means to harm their victims, venge porn site, the flashing online sexing cohesion will filming, during intercourse without consent. so those are all examples and i think social media kind of
8:51 am
a whole different dimension to race culture. it really exacerbates exacerbates and existing problems. so mysterious initiative has sparked a debate. the department for education and the home office have gotten involved, and a school supervisory authority is investigating to see if schools are diverting adequate attention to the problem. girls and boys have to be educated on the problem in primary school says the women, students at warwick. the 1st task is to influence the attitudes of male students in their daily interactions. it falls on the men to make sure that there's a responsibility to make sure that you can make the women feel safe from campus by doing basic things and picking up on basic cues. emily, the english student has seen some initial progress. people have been ostracized for part of our city because for the 1st time like boys are actually turning on my friends. and like recognizing the issue and disagreeing with what's going on. emily
8:52 am
and her comrades are hoping their protest will be heard all across britain. they have no doubt that such fears are everywhere. not just in their own university. in the new shall king, $88000000.00 tons of food get thrown away each year. it's fruits and vegetables that don't even make it to a supermarket shelf. just because they don't look good enough. and the french city of my fame and your project is aiming to put an end to this food waste and improving a blessing for people who don't have enough food right now. because of the corona pandemic. the here in paul northern ma say these women have been waiting for, donated food outside the charity from the condo since the morning. today, a new soup is making a t a. p is made of vegetables that have been saved from the dumpster and
8:53 am
it's full of vitamins and is very healthy. the food is in high demand. many people who can't afford groceries bother me, but i don't have it easy because i want my kids to eat well. lots of vegetables or fish. but my brother died recently and left 5 little children in my care. frozen carrots are on sale today to it's all from a new initiative to prevent wasting food. 7 30 am the most. a wholesale market wholesaler semi gas me is already calling to day. until now, he was throwing away some $100.00 pounds of fruit and vegetables each year that no one wanted could you had that to monitor the calls are producing tomatoes, zucchini, salary or oranges takes months of work and sometimes even years. how could you run
8:54 am
it? and put people so it really hurts to see them end up in the trash. it was in a well now it's time for him to wrap up and he left over products that are still good enough to be donated until it makes good business sense. because i get back 60 percent of its value in tax credits. so example, he's giving his goods to the charity kitchen, just a few meters away. you do what you got today. we learned the wholesale markets of ma say used to throw away $24000.00 tons of fruits and vegetables each year. normal merchants now bringing their left over to the charity kitchen pretty much on the call on basically every morning. we don't know what the merchants will deliver. we have to adapt the 2nd. it's always
8:55 am
a challenge. but we can turn anything into something new. because the products are in the state, they're in. we can distribute them before they go bad. so we had to find ways to prolong the shelf lives by processing them. you don't want to confirm the fruits and vegetables and then given a 2nd chance that tended to competency 3 causes of donation and the rest sold. allowing the initiative to be self sufficient by now the 1st portion to being picked up the food bank and distribute the products to have organizations just from the plan though. it's a win win situation. me get a lot of eastern europeans and people without paper. we get 200 people free a day extra help solely needed. the coven pandemic has caused food insecurity to skyrocket. what a great project?
