now in western india, almost an entire fishing village is asking for permission from the courts to die. 600 people in a most them village. their reason harassment from authorities who have prevented them from fishing. it is admittedly a strange request given that active euthanasia that is doing something to cause a person's death is illegal. in india, they don't correspond the male jury travel to go drop state to see for herself. what prompted this petition? gossip butter is usually a sleepy village, but right now, hundreds of its residents are asking to be euthanized. they say local authorities have been harassing them for almost a decade and blocking their right to fish. frustrated. 100 muslim fishermen and their families have petitioned goods, routes, high court thing. let us fish in these waters or let us die. joe madelo, our livelihood depended on the sea and it has been stopped. we want it back. we

have to feed our children, feed ourselves. how should we go on like this and get the de leon isn't than a de luca as a book and when is it? i'd rather die with the others than die alone of hunger. what are the good? how can we watch our children die before us? like the next a giga? the petition is being led by a letter cody mat. legally, it has no chance of winning in court. indian law does not allow act of euthanasia. but dammit, hopes that the drastic nature of their potato, and we'll draw attention to a bigger problem of the 30 villages in the area goes about is the only muslim village. and the only one, deprived of its right to own the livelihood that a bullies i gamble, will be police officials keep coming to the port, telling us to remove our boats immediately. i asked them, why are they doing this in? but bullard, they said they got orders from the told them that they're forced to follow the, the nebraska. so we feel that the authorities are discriminating against doesn't work because we're muslims almost. and one is dileo, moto bullying lulu mode. i yielded, the arabian sea near goeth about a village fishermen be met,

have approved licenses to fish their forefathers have been doing so for over a century. but in the last years, local authority started cracking down upon goes about a foot thing. it lacks fish landing rights, which means that they can be the box. they both, he'll not unload the. these catch. that's as good as not fishing at all. the lawyer representing the fisherman's petition beliefs that the restrictions are due to deeper causes or salvage. they did it sensor to radio. this is maybe the region it aborting, but basin is dark by midnight. but you know what the sensitivity, he is referring to, has to do with the ports, are all in one of india's deadliest sterile attacks. in 1993 arms and explosives used in a series of bomb blasts and mom by were moved through goes about a port. we could not verify the reason why goes about doesn't have fish. landing rights, as local authorities declined, are repeated requests for interviews. as for demet and other fishermen,

they feel abandoned by the government. they are tired of waiting helplessly tired of looking for answers. all the fisher folk and do now is hope the high court will take action in their favor. gentlemen are for more, some des d. deborah correspondent, ne jory who filed that report. after meeting these fishermen in good rod stayed, mal, do these fishermen really want to die? i think the simple answer to that is no. they don't are where to sensually talking about a community here of 600 people. so that 100 fishermen, their families, our children are excluded. and from the conversations the since i got is that what they really want at the end of the day is the right on their livelihood. and till now they've tried approaching a lot of authorities, this fortune to the fisheries department, the local authorities, even at the level of state, an armed state and national national authorities. and they haven't got any response

. so the communities pretty much i did with n, right? they don't know what else to do. this is also a community that relies entirely on fishing. most of them are illiterate. so it's not like they can pick up another trade and just bounce off. and, and so what, what this petition really is, is a plea of desperation. and how you also mentioned in your report that there were security concerns involved because some explosives used in the 9093 mom by bomb attacks was smuggled through this area than why other fish africa only being prevented from docking their board since 2016. that's pretty much what the fishermen want to know as well. so after 9090 threes are blasts, and one by there was no immediate effect on the community in the sense that they were not stopped from docking right away. and now it's been, it was, it took all word to more than 2 decades that they continued to fish there. and in 2016 police officials started harassing them at the port. so they would ask them to

remove the boards to not fish. there are this and the people shared several accounts of you know, the police finding them for keeping the boards there or threatening them with. arrests are one woman i spoke to talked about. her husband being beaten pretty badly by police officials because he couldn't move his board anywhere. and so the community really feels that they're being targeted for their religious identity and addresses political persecution. now what we have to remember is that goddard is the state that is ruled by the hindu nationalist party, the b j p. and the b. b has often been criticized for practicing as sort of politics are that use as communal tension as a tool. so applying that to this context, we have a region where we have tardy villagers predominantly occupied by hindus, or they can all fish they have access to basic rights provided by the government. the only exception to that is this one village goggles or barrow, where the population is entirely muslim. and if the villagers aren't being allowed to fool her, her been sustaining themselves these years. so they found little ways to do so. ah,

one of them is that they catch fish in the shallow waters on the other course line . it's not a lot of fish, but they're able to eat, eat another meal out of that. and when we were there, we saw the couch and children were learning how to preserve and you know, handle these fish are and others that a lot of the men has started migrating to nearby ears. for instance, there's a damn that let them work. and daily contractors, and so they're able to bring in some amount of money, but they of course, they have to live away from their families while this happens. and lastly, the entire community has called a not of debt. so they're taking, they've been able to borrow money from home ever will offer it whether that's one year or whether that's 50 because it let them put another meal in front of their children. and so the impression i got is that a lot of the adults are going hungry because they're trying to keep the children fed either because on the mayor dorinda ali, thank you very much. and that's it for today as ever. there's mo, from the region on our website. we leave you now with drawing images from china, which is celebrating of sorts the end of 2 months of

a covered lockdown. we'll see you tomorrow by 330 . imagine how many pushes lunch turn out in the world right now. the climate change. if any, off the story. this is my plan, the way from just one week. how much work can really get

we still have time to go. i'm going all with his subscriber. all morning, like if you ever have to cover up a murder, the best way is to make it look like an accident or raring to read. you've never read a book like this. literature list under germany must reads ah, ah, shanghai springs back to life. after months of isolation on the chinese covered 0 strategy, people are driving cars again, cramming on to buses and trains, hoping never again and a global rethink on how we do energy. as oil prices continue to search due to

russia's foreign ukraine, african nations turn to renewables. and ben facility, let's do business. china's financial hub is up and running again. residents of shanghai are allowed out of the 2 months of lockdown. i mean, they're hoping to never go through an ordeal like that again. but there are signs the states cobra 0 strategy could be here to stay. possibly for years, there are reports that officials are setting up networks of tens of thousands of testing booths in economically important cities. the goal is to have swapping points just a 15 minute walk away. it allow testing as often as every 48 hours and negative results will get you on to the subway or into a store. china is the only country in the world to contain the highly transmissible on the chrome variant. but it's hurt business and meant personal sacrifices for millions of people which we'll touch on in a moment with our corresponded as the curbs rolled back in some.
