expected to follow, but they would also inspiring for what the daughter of a dirt poor farmer could achieve. this was pakistani social media star can deal malott just a weeks before she was murdered. she was one of the country's biggest celebrities. a household name known for defying convention the deeply conservative country and refusing to go along with the restrictions placed on her as a woman. her brother initially confessed to killing her in 2016. he said her behavior and her post on social media were intolerable and damaged the family honor. he described how he had given her a sedative before strangling her in her sleep and that he had no regret. such was the shock over her murder that the law was tightened to make it harder for

so called honor killers to be let off the hook. haven't real fond of the fact that the legislation has not prevented the brother from being allowed to walk free? has caused consternation in many quarters. one tweet saying, men can kill with impunity. women aren't safe even in their own homes, and the law won't protect them. and this man who confessed of killing can deal his own sister is a free man to day in the same country where country couldn't live her life freely. and was armour kill for the choices she made as a free citizen of this country. and shame on those who loved to consume candy blotches content but also justified her murder. taking a pa chrissy to the next level. bellagio said to have wanted to call out to pa chrissy and pakistani society and to live a life that was free. but now she and her dreams are dead,

and it is her murderer that is free. and jeremy not from law hard is lawyer and women's rights activist, and you got that. you got it. can you help us make sense of how a court has set free? a convicted and self confessed mother so because the, if he didn't judgment, hasn't been released yet, it would be premature of me to make any solid remarks because i really don't know the complete details of what the decision was based on. however, the general information that we have to now does prompt me to raise few questions myself. for instance, how was this decision breach despite the convicted basically confessed before media and said that he killed his own sister. and then the government still decided to become a bike in the goose to follow up, you know, with the case until the last moment. secondly,

the honor killing law in focus on was amended right off the door can be used my door. so why those amendments will overlooked while deciding to equate, you know, this module and, and mind you the but payden's already doing the sun during the, during the trial proceedings. and those that pardon was dismissed by the tri court and it was a very solid order. so you don't like the all these questions the legal minds are confused. that's why this has happened and how a higher judiciary sort of equated this or only convicted person because the, this were already committed during trial. i'd just like to sort of record activist summer q g, who's a tweet referenced in the report earlier. i mean, he tweeted the following about the vatike i caught men can kill with impunity. women aren't safe in their own homes and the law want to protect them. is he right? does pakistan law not protect it? women?

i wouldn't completely agree with this statement because we do have laws in place and know those laws aren't welfare, but they are being constantly amended to improve your you know, and thanks to the work of civil society organizations and feels feminist figures. but the protection of women is in just relying on the law. it's the entire judicial structural system that plays a part. it depends on how judge is sitting in the higher 14 deborah, the law. it depends on the bureaucratic structure, laws that result in investigation, delays and innovations is it depends on access to the entire judicial system. so focusing on the entire, you know, criminal justice system rather than just the law is more important. in my opinion. just looking at this entire system, then they go, does this influence in your view how goals and women in but just on lead their daily lives? i would say that after this decision,

because this was a landmark up gaze high profile case. there were eyes on it, people who are watching it, of course it affects women and girls. when we hear about such and daily, hard breaking decisions and then dec do by higher goods. the decision though, cues, i mean, it makes us more scared, more cautious, and sometimes makes us feel defeated, but it also makes us angry and as seen women and goes around me, use that angle to demand just isn't changes to the system for their own protections . so they also use that and go to support each other and build a sisterhood that comforts and make makes us stronger. at the same time. yes. what woman? why, why not maybe bigler the i'd, when society an art in flies, drip firefly and videos or in villages? definitely, you know, it would have impact on, on their daily daily lives. and it didn't make them more scared. and you know, defeated that anyone can kill them in the name of one and, and get away with it. they got that. we leave it there for the time being. but

thank you so much for joining us today on this important subject. ah, india southern state of terminal under is home to a unique architecture that slowly decaying terminal merchants and mast fortunes under the british empire and build thousands of mentioned in the villages of trip to mad. it may have been the beverly hills if it's time, but to day most of those houses seem forgotten by time. in this cluster of villages, thousands of palatial homes lie disused witnesses to wealth and power built by the merchants of chechen odd tinted and has approximately 70 fe when it is in all the 70. very religious put together that we are merely levin though some bigger houses and out this only 10 percent are being maintained properly. 20

the good old days life was simpler. no electronics, anywhere home made snacks in t waiting on the table. and the benevolent king looking after his people this is the world of debt, nor in corner, and an artist who makes his living, bringing back the past in miniature form. having lunch all i like collecting vintage things, and i like the vibe. so i started making old fashioned miniature models. i also wanted them to be something for the next generation to see people's way of life in the past to get a panel home. to resurrect these by gone world's corner and pays attention to every detail. his work demands the precision of a watchmaker and the imagination of a story teller to the rally home. and yet the story behind this model shows the
