awe . and in a, it's a feeling of finally. finally, it's happening. right? yes, john, i've known about it for so long since 2018. not fun. when monday gone to bed that i've been anticipating it all the time. preparing, preparing, preparing was a show at some point. it has to happen. so thought, hans, i now growth and i feel such a great energy accumulating a well. yeah, this is what's amazing is getting to just focus on the piece on the music coup. when was the m, the one from bill?

ah . june 2021. by voice. i made asana lynn. if 5 weeks before the premier on the famous green hill. i want to find out about this young conduct, his journey from her ukrainian hometown to buy voice where she's made history as the 1st woman to conduct at the festival. it's clear that she lives and breathes music of all types away from the classical stage. she loves cuban sounds. today her career has well and truly taken flight. her international start came at the by rushed autopay in 2013. she began as an assistant but ended up holding the baton

herself and dazzling audiences. she went on to be chief conductor in graz, austria then came the munich philharmonic, the shots capella 1000000000, and from 2020 debuts in vienna, paris and bolona. and in the fall of 2021, the berlin philharmonic. but taking to the conduct his podium at the legendary by a white festival is probably her biggest challenge yet with you've got the iconic festival thesis behind you. is like wagner is breathing down your neck. is that a burden or a pleasure? with a middle wagner? mazique is, is loved, dusty. so i think wagner's music is like a powerful drug i saw. and then once you've tried it and you're going to miss it done for me, mon thus phones. ok. there is how about was the god?

what's i, my, i rode on facebook that when you conduct fac, now, you feel like the air is burning under your hand and they looked on dunden hen. oh. oh. ok, son, a linear attracts a huge interest on social media. the fact a woman is conducting a bi hoyt is obviously going to attract a lot of attention. so the yet if our lead human on the on from was on this for every woman, it's difficult to assert yourself at the beginning of the file on that. but this feels like a totally different time now,

united nazi and maybe it's also important for me to be an example for other i for the future. was it hopefully a positive example just to see it, but the fact that i'm a woman doesn't make the fagin to holland a score any easier or harder for oh mm. if league into holland, or the flying dutchman is familiar to exxon to live, this isn't the 1st time she's conducted it. wagner wrote his romantic opera as an unknown young composer following a stormy sea voyage. it shows his guiding seems already beginning to resonate, such as the longing for death and redemption. ah,

the 2nd year he said, i'm composing the 1st true german opera with the flying dutchman durham. you can really feel the outrage and 4th, and the 1st courts, if the overture, he really pulled out all the stops hot on it at ocean. and those waves represented exactly what he felt. ah, ah, ah, a change of scene, this is odessa on the black sea, one of ukraine's largest cities. it's the spring of 2021. ok, sauna lynn?

if always enjoys visiting the city. it's a place where she can relax and concentrate on her work. and it's where her rise as a maestro began in the upper house, i watch over her sing, chikavsky, eugene on agin, she's highly concentrated, authoritative, and clear about what she demands from her musicians. she knows what she wants and she gets it setup. mm much not that person, that awesome don. minimum until she the woman that on m. e and ross oksana walk, santa is very charismatic. passionate is or i'm shocked how much energy she has and it's always very inspiring. you buy a food fractional dumler style or badger the she, if she a,

but it's never intimidating because her demands as a conductor are justified. she demands things in the name of music and art, so they can't be any anxiety or fear. but as a new modem, which ah, it's me, it's extra. i don't want to seem overly harsh, but this is a leadership position. i knew it was a job. i was on the highs the ink. that means i say what i want to, but i also bear the responsibility for making it work also does is folks here near her determination to progress persevere, and pushed the envelope has helped her on her journey towards by hoyt. she's also gained from having a mental like hero per trend co,

the current head of the belinda, philip monica, and formerly chief conductor of the by russia start so pale function is that then go from this. in this mind, i learned the most from carole potential, even though we hardly ever talked about conducting itself. i practically never had any instructions from him on it lava thus owns it, uncle. i think we worked so well together because i could already understand his child on and how he wants to hear the orchestra in here. oh ok. santa lynn, if was also the 1st female conductor at the odessa upper house responsibility suit, sir. ah, this is news on these d 2, it's important to me that things should function as i imagined them on van at bus, albany solo. so the nation, if that is not the case, then there have to be good reasons and to have to find new compromises. domino's he

had lawyer compromised reverend. not always easy. yeah. okay, lynn if shows us one of her favorite places. oh, the beach. she used to come here as a child with her parents, and rather than do ma'am, when you swim in the sea and you feel that you are a part of the breathing of the universe. awesome day when you vassal is design on leave of. i love it when there are big ways to let in the redlands waves and wind rise though begin their. that's how their feet into holland begins. it's 5 can this in this on but the whistling of the wind and strong dangerous waves where live ah, wagner is ever present with lynn. if wherever she is

wagner miss zayden wagner. with his ideas, his unbelievable energy like that of a titan and his reform of opera, vincent, well, after whole art, the whole history whole fight. he put opera on a whole new track. the late past. she is fascinated by history and politics just a few days earlier in t if on the central square all my done. it was clear that the conductor is a ukrainian patriot, with clear ideas about her country's relationship with russia. at the end of 2013 hundreds of thousands demonstrated here against the government's decision to turn away from the european union. they called for the resignation of president victor, yet had coverage who had close ties with russia. the protests continued, and in february 2014, over 100 people were killed by security forces with live ammunition. it came as

a shock lynn. it was in munich at the time. that's why these it but there was one day i remember very well lies assistant and i'd been appointed assistant conductor of carol patch franco. and i saw this terrible pictures on the internet that if you knew that you said it was the best students. and he said all these victims, i didn't see a indicate, they were just put in this church and covered with white sheets on manhattan. and it was impossible to believe that something like this was possible in the middle of europe, during peacetime, on the edge of the square linen reflects on the victims and the seemingly endless conflict that has divided ukraine to her. standing by and not doing anything isn't an option. i scott, the leader, me. i do something with cultural projects, for example, by founding

a youth orchestra for yoga. and i guess at this moment that was my idea from 2017. this yoga and i'm going to unite the use of ukraine. it east and west anchor in a body of sound and to form a new family in a united ukraine lawyer emilia. death. i need that. okay. units of brendan ah ah

ah about 470 kilometers west of ki if lies live. it's where exxon i live studied. the conflict with russia has also taken its toll here. oh. ringback oh, lynn, if want us to shoot in the garrison church and made the military chaplain, todd ash, michelle shook, who commemorated those who had fallen when he couldn't hear that he stood and we can really feel and see with our eyes what war really is. then all these objects weapon part there, from the front line, from, from head to colman. he eccles wyatt's idea,

the lydia on. here you can see the gathering of portraits of children who have lost their parents on the fact that their fathers in the war he has to had so much been getting and mighty. and that i am his 3 year old called maria. his written, my father is in heaven. my dear father, where are you? i want to be in your arms and want to go to you. oh, oh, i think i'm the fun when the war began in 2014, the children from one of the primary schools here made these white dobbs out of paper. as with it a month and faces albany, whoever you hang, they will hang as long as the war hasn't come to an end of what, even though they're already old and dirty alive, but they won't go into peace. has returned. favor mistook at all. la

live was once the capital of the region of galicia, and had strong ties with western europe during the 19th century. it was part of the austrian empire. ah, lin, if arrived here in 1992 from brody, just under 100 kilometers away to study music, let bug usa. so niv of is the center of classical music, not vienna, hasn't been would of like one own office is zach my unofficially. levine is known as ukraine's contra capital, not kia, interestingly, but levine, flem, at least, traditionally thong here. her teaches at the music academy in live, if had initially advised her against pursuing a career in conducting saying it wasn't suitable for women. instead, they recommended she learned to play the flute, yet live remains set on her dream. we visit the music academy. she once studied at

w n. and there are many people here to welcome her. the academy is very proud of its former student, and she's glad to be back where her career began with this is where she 1st took the stage. at the time she played the flute and ukrainian folk music. i live in the time for a quick lesson. and an introduction to conducting, i think it's as old as the link a hand is basically the left hand is more responsible for phrasing and for the found on the fuel clung to didn't blank. yeah, a few items. it's very important for the cues in an opera, and i said the orchestra can be lad with the right hand. and cues can be given to

the singers with the laughter. but really, the right hand goes and tut tut tut. lynn if is an exceptional conductor in many ways, her strengths include her powerful musical imagination and her unwavering determination to put her ideas into practice with the orchestra room. like here, as she conducts leonard bernstein to cut ish, a karl symphony that refers to the jewish prayer that is sung for the dead. aah! this was at the live mozart festival, which she founded in 2017 ah, ah ah

ah, the event is named for its patron francis xavier mozart, son of wolfgang amadeus mozart. he lived taught and performed concerts in live for more than 2 decades. there is a plan to place a sculpture of frances eva mozart in this square asana lives tribute to central european classical music in the dust event response. that it's really very important that people hear positive things about our country. rather than just about chernobyl, the political crises, the crimea, or war in the eastern part of the country as much as if he is

making soup is how asana lynn. if relaxes, she's cooking the ukrainian national dish bush. she enjoys the ritual of it was, is agnes, though aren't barsh is actually a love potion. and the 1st thing every girl has to do who's just fallen in love and is dreaming of winning over her beloved, is to make really good gorge. gotta own, i always make botched when i'm home. it was an international career. does of course come at a price. you're going to be habitually max. i've noticed that you can't be at home all over the world. take on to raise the houses and yet done it among how bases. so we found this apartment and i'm keeping it did he did, i'd on to the system. i'm guns, guns for. it's a really good feeling no matter what's going on, that i can always come back here to to woman. the

conductor had a happy childhood old that lives on musical, including her parents. on here is eastman on zagan says, here's our family ensemble. that's had my father, my father established it to the i live in here. they're playing different musical instruments, music instruments, english beans. oh my name won't my mother to. there's 1st her sister and my cousins and my brother and i as well. their father strictly supervised them, to ensure they even practice during summer vacation. our next stop is the live opera way. her career began as a prompter and then an assistant conductor. even today, she still has her wardrobe tailored by the upper is costume designer. it's like taking a piece of home with her to buy hoyt, lima throwing it goes. book confession is good. yeah. the 3rd is the balloon. is

robin looked of coolie question for you the key? what or she could of the shooter this threat. she was literature me over. there aren't many examples of have a woman conducted should dress on stage door, but it took her therefore, the day with her cunny vinegar thinks of that good right and book farming. for this . we're taking not taught silhouette as our inspiration more, but when we work with modern fabrics, then the whole thing looks up to date. with my job is to make a wearable garment so that there's never an uncomfortable moment to mark your for that one way to either zimmer, the way that the dallas isn't available. shannon was a woman that of wine as a sher spitters of outpatient. i'm stuck to prove diabetic leaning jokes, and she must look a bit like a nun. her. her outfit is black, simple and elegant, but her constant gown shouldn't just look good above all, she has to be able to conduct in it. ah,

the day has arrived. the big moment, the premier in by right the day when everything comes together, even the chancellor is here. but the woman everyone wants to see is hidden throughout the performance in the orchestra pit. the rules and by hoyt, a strict nema, nobody can see it. first boston is she told the girl, is she shortened by saturday, but she wearing light, a dress or trousers of that heels are flat and what she doing does is she grey seller edgy or something completely different on them? it's amusing that will either grab them or not gender doesn't play a role at all today at all. and the dutchman is damned to live in to eternity. only when center dies. can he be released from the curse and die as well?

ah ah, it's a dramatic story. forceful and intense, and asana lives by hordes. debbie, who is confident and energetic. ah, ah ah ah! what a premier what a triumph the applause lasted for 12 minutes. ah!

here she is. delighting in her well deserved success. ah! after a 145 years of festival history, she's become the 1st woman ever to take the conductor's podium on the green hill. i was in the face. these are really the great moments in life. i can't describe it any other way besides, this isn't. it's as if everything has been moving towards this moment. i live all the energy you absorb all your moment, design your experiences, including the negative ones, and many disappointments to the fiascos. they all are there in that moment, and then you could say it's like a struggle on every that can count. oh, you come so i know you don't to of you. how do you come down or will you just keep going? yes, i'm celebrating with it's time for us to take out leave with upa. a thanks to spending time with us and for this

evening. ah ah, with with you know that 77 percent of a younger than $35.00. that's me and me and you

know what? it's time of voices. hi paul. the 77 percent. we talk about the issues with this is with the 70 percent next on d. w ah, right. as a formula, one world champion, and in his 2nd career as an entrepreneur, nico all staff always operates at top speed, is mission to start climate change, and with sustainable technology and a lot of passion, he's accelerating for. i read in 60 minutes on d w. or you can like if i want that tag in the end is a me,

2 years ago, i would never have imagined spending days and evenings at home due to a global health crisis. but that's what happened. the corona pandemic turned our lives upside down and we all realize just how important, good and accessible health care is to all of us. so on this week so that our focus will stand by and watch health care workers doing their best to feed a young woman's life to find out why south african paramedics are putting their safety at risk to save live. and we'll talk about ministration and why access to senator and products is so important. but we'll starting lagos, nigeria, where does i came a robi, you can find excellent health care facilities. but at the same time, you can also find hospitals and clinics. really struggling to provide basic health care. honestly, it depends on where you are and what you can pay and whether or not to insure if insurance can pay. so my colleague, florida took her, our visit, had an emergency hospital to find out what challenges patients and health care

workers based on an everyday basis. here's what she found. mm. ramos is anxiously waiting for the birth of her grandchild. she rushed har dot hurried. lots of this private hospital for an emergency c section would be liberal like she has been laboring since one in. she didn't have any more. that's why we brought her here for the surgeries, right? he more sales me nurse, glory. oh yeah. we is the owner of the hospital. she's well known in the community for providing health care to people who cannot afford it. private health care providers like when we are forced to get the burden of nigeria feeling health care system. most people don't have health insurance, so the hospital often has to cover the views of the patient or depend on donation.

if i you what, what was it? and it can happen. you will not die. the baby can also done. that is why i don't. that's important to morning more than life. meanwhile, the new baby has been born. it's a girl. the mother is feel the operating room. i smell waiting for the doctor to finish up the operation. the power goes off and that is part of the challenges of practicing medicine in this country. the doctor has to make do what the half patients can only hope that the survive without any complications. they do have health sector is coarsely underfund it private public hospitals and not equipped to standard and doctors or salary. this is why many of them are leaving the country. you study so hard to become

a medical doctor. i don't have time to socialize when i come back, you see that those jumping buses get on there. i don't have my own house. a lot of both of them have their houses. no sophistic 7 lives assumes and i don't care about because i'm not taking care of those who are taking care. if the doctor continue to leave nigeria health care crisis could get worse. for now . right, he must remain quick to the doctor's grasp. saved the life of her daughter in law and daughter to imagine that something as natural as child, but something that hundreds of thousands of women go to every single day. it's something that gets to provide proper health care for and that's what mentioning something like malaria. but after many, many years, it seems like we've finally

a break to the children's vaccine. and just to give you an overview, here's how the content them an entity preventable death of children under the age of 5, reduction in the tunnel mortality, and up to h. i v a to malaria and other neglect diseases. these are some of the goals at the u. n. an international community had set for 2030. but where are we today? africa still the continent with the highest rate of infant mortality. and while this has fallen by 3 percent a year, that is still not enough to achieve a 10 percent reduction goal ah, in the 1990 s and early 2 thousands, africa was off the continent most badly hit by a tribute 8th. the good news is that it now has the largest drop in h i v infections worldwide. there are currently still over 25000000 people living with h. i v in sub saharan africa. but 2 thirds of them on anti retroviral medication, which stops them for pointing ill and helps them to live with the virus ah,

on the vaccine front, polio has been eradicated, and a new vaccine for malaria is supposed to reduce the number of malaria cases in children ah, in the midst of the global corona virus pandemic, however, many people are lamenting the fact that the vaccines which are meant to cup the sped club at 19 reach, the african continent laughed. ah, the w h rector tedra. deborah, yes. who's had repeatedly called unwritten nations to help poor countries vaccinate their population. but despite this, there has been no widespread outrage over the unequal distribution of the vaccines . so if you want to hear more about the differing health system, you can walk trust 50 based on vaccine. i spoke to health practitioners on canyon trying to access the corporate 19 vaccines. the leg quite a bit to say that go to our youtube, paid that like 70 percent and you can watch of them if we've learned one thing during the pandemic. if the importance of having good doctors, nurses,

and health care staff who are not just willing but also able to go out and do their job every day. so we want it to accompany one of the health care workers for a day to get a glimpse into their work. so our next story takes us to cape town, where to paramedics not only have to deal with the challenges of the job itself, but also faced the risks involved in working in so called red zone in a city areas with high violence and crime rates. in friday morning, atlanta hill hospital in cape town, the ambulance hub is buzzing as a vehicles are being shunted and restocked. it's the start of the shift for the 3rd 5 year old paramedic norm said ge after each morning based no, no reward. her work has in store for her, but this dave, many of the emergency calls are recorded related. now because of the conferences s o b, people are having sadness off there. why you can never expect anything, anything can just open. the job is as risky as it is tough. the emergency teams are

regularly called to dangerous parts of the city. nonsense colleague, princess used to head out with the team, but now she's thankful for has a safe job at the office when you young, i think with in terms of the entering the excitement, the hours that who work it's ideal. but the older you get, who want a more monday to friday, 9 to 5, typically. that's not on the cuts. well no, i'm sorry in how colleague month le, a busy 12 hour shift lies ahead of them after just a few minutes on the clock they received their 1st call sierra alpha 5, he is the do fellow rate non salt water for the so called south and and of the emergency medical service which covers the townships of the keep flat, the suburbs, created by south africa apartheid regime to forcefully resetting people of color. today, it's a hot sport for violence and crime. it's simply too dangerous for the

paramedics to drive to the patients. home alone is that cases they call a police escort who are waiting for the escalade. now we found the escalade. when we're calling the on arrival dancer in how could league mand law check on the patient while the police secure the sin? there is a reason why this measures are in place. paramedics are regularly attacked by criminals while on duty, without police escorts. the ambulance can't drive into so called red zones, such as that will lead to township. this is also a disadvantage for the residents themselves. sometimes it takes longer, some kind of quick. i depends. if these are as quadrille as a politician, because you to crime in the area, they need to wait for the escorts to come to the residence for that is a bit delayed to process. the patient is a 79 year old woman who is struggling to breathe. possibly

a case of cove it man law and non. so supply the woman with oxygen and bring her to the nearest public hospital. in south africa, no one is refused treatment based on their capacity to pay back on the road. violence in the area often overshadows their walk. only 4 days earlier, paramedics were robbed in a nearby suburb one of 78 incidents in the last year alone. non so herself was held at gunpoint just a few months ago. luckily, she was able to escape, but the attack left her traumatized when the guy was coming. i literally. mm. so my pharaoh lay go, greg. i thought he was going to shoot or some being all then i had to stay at home for awhile because i was not okay. i couldn't come back to work the last year. so the highest number of attacks in 5 years, despite the use of police escorts, getting an escort doesn't really sort out the situation. it's just sort of put them in the shell at that moment. but as soon as there's no escort been made to get

attacked, i'm rolled gun pointed. the next call out is to one in burke, a dang reading area on the cave flats. another red song, he was saying there was a shooting in mining bag earlier, but now it's a, it's fine we can going in areas like this, the paramedics only performed necessary treatments on location and aim to leave as quickly as possible. despite the risks. nom sir, finds her walk, rewarding. when you know it was what i'll do as you can do according to a protocol, then you see they are better then you get a smile on your feet. you'll be here that you saved a life risking your own life to save the lives of others, a job that requires courage and passion. now there are also some issues that we need to talk about when it comes to women's health. but one of the most important

thing is access to menstrual products, and that many girls and women don't house. now if you follow us on youtube, you might know our theories, gulf of news, where aspiring young goals reports about topics important to them. so here's catherine milan go reporting on access to salutary products with going on. you appeared at school without signing guided peds. well, i've witnessed this happening to men of my peers, particularly from disadvantaged families here in bab, with some of them even missed school, just to, for lack of salutary pits. as a child parliamentarian, i've taken this matter into my onions to lobby for free access of sunnyside away. i am catherine morrow, mail angle from edward r, as in bob with lakeesha takara elliott friends are walking back and the girls are part of

a group of charge. parliamentarians lobbying for pre sanitary bid, and the poor culminate of f. quit is involved with capital iraq galaxy this politi childhood oxy. plenty tell pick these i and claimants and most parents cannot afford even cheaper. you feel good mother feels to buy you those sanitary that we seem sure. what do you use in some times, i had to listen to and clothes and you know, some times i had to miss me live in school and even i won't even add 10 t i own boy. she said. and again, you know, did that to include the has not been gone for did was just only if goes i you know, even clean 3 and even walking around the school is difficult

to share grading my this child was to go, beg, bear with me, let alone fan, it had appeared, squeaking butcher, she survived from vending her door, mom's. it's quite a big challenge. the money in it did, my kid is not meaningful. it is only enough for us to basic food. i cannot then afford to base. so me teddy kids. i can only afford to get there to shift the pieces or fair bridge to use his secretary peers. we can only appeal to those who are able to help us jose gon, our nations shall i know. but the rock i managed to avoid this was the both sanitary paid goods paid and denied me, but it can only be ad ship debate speaking together to influence chained not only yes, mabel, but i'll but africa. well go off mute. i am catherine milan before i

in babylon. right? so change all over africa. and just to be clear, what we're talking about, this is what we mean here in kenya, a packet of 14 retails for anywhere between a $130.00 to $150.00 shillings. that's just under 3 euros. and a woman may need anywhere between $10.00 to $15.00 of these, depending on how heavy how flow is in a month. there are of course alternatives, including the all mighty one of the like to call it slightly more expensive of cost . they're also more affordable options. we're talking about the mental cup or even reusable sanitary pads, which can be washed, and that leaves us squarely here in a room where we meet the roof aiden, who is raising awareness on how to create access to the sanitary power for women and girls, such as the ones we just saw in kenya, it's 2 thirds of women unable to afford the menstrual products. 2 thirds. ready of women receive mental products from sexual partners. 1.2000000 girls every.
