period. a pakistani woman on a mission to get rid of the mystery around menstruation. ah, i melissa chan, thanks for joining us. we'll go deeper into those stories in just a moment, but 1st here's a quick round up of top stories out of asia. floods triggered by monsoon storms continued to overwhelm bangladesh with rescuers trying to deliver food and fresh drinking water to shelters across the northern part of the country. officials say it's the worst of flooding. in 2 decades, thousands of university students took to the streets in sri lanka to demand the resignation of the president and prime minister over the countries worst economic crisis in 70 years. authorities have shut school to reduce community and conserve

fuel. the country is bankrupt and most people have started skipping meals because they can't afford to buy food. in south korea, it's off to infinity and beyond. with the 2nd test to launch of the countries near each space rocket part of the country's bed to grow it's space program, which with satellites will be useful for establishing 6 g networks. but also for national security purposes. in afghanistan, a mass wedding and cobble attended by hundreds of guests and taliban fighters underscores how much the city has changed since last year. more economic hardship has many families are turning to shared weddings in order to defray costs and brides must now cover their faces. dozens of young women that

faces concealed by green shoals waited as a long line of grooms filed into the wedding hole in deeply impoverished afghanistan. many families of struggle to afford a traditional lavish wedding party. and under the taliban, things of only got worse. aha, did it yourself that falls on the other? i have no job to lose all of we were short of money. and so we decided to marry that a master wedding ceremony for ya. that's less expensive than cobra is offered with this groom has waited 8 years to be able to get married. oh no young man wants to bear the burden of an expensive individual wedding party. every one knows about the situation in afghanistan. about 98 percent of people are living below the poverty line. it's very tough to manage these expenses. plaza, pooling resources and holding multiple weddings is not uncommon here. but with 70

couples getting married at once. this is one of the largest mass. weddings of gunston has seen journalists were not allowed to speak to the brides where to keep their faces covered. even before the taliban take over, wedding parties were often segregated with men and women celebrating in different spaces. now the islamists have imposed other strict rules, no music, no dancing. the only form of entertainment allowed poetry recitals and speeches. though outside the wedding, then you some seem to defy that rule with an impromptu dance. as the new husbands and wives finally got to share some moments together in the car on the drive home. we have journalist allie latifah, joining us, welcome to the program. thank you. we just saw scenes from weddings and cobble

where guests could no longer dance. it's just yet another example of how much has changed or what have been the latest rules from the taliban for what women, it can no longer do latest rule, basically, and needed about what women should be wearing. ideally, each of them, it should be all black. it should cover their space, it should only cover their hair only believe, open their eyes. and you know, they've put the fines around the cities. they fulfill boards, they, ironically, outside the ministry of vice and virtue, which used to be the ministry fair. there's a big a banner describing what they think that a woman should be seen as properly dress guys. in the past, there have been rules about women traveling alone thing that if they go more than 4550 kilometers must be with a responsible man directly related to them, especially if they're traveling on an airplane, even in a taxi. you know,

sometimes like never been reports of taxi drivers being hit or abuse for having a woman in the front seat. so there's a lot of the really, you know, very focused rules on what a woman should do, what she should not do what she should wear. and everyone keeps coming back to this idea of whether you talk to a man or woman, young or old. they're always like, why are they sold? you know, everything, the only thing they're talking about is a woman this a woman that a woman that there's so many other issues in this country, but they're constantly just talking about women. and so how thoroughly are these rules enforced? you know, enforcement of any law is very difficult and we're seeing that fear as well. now the question is, are they purposely, you know, are there members within will paula bond or purposely kind of like turning a blind eye or are they just, are there just not enough of them?

you know, there have been reports of women. usually it ends up with a man me or you know, they would find a man that they consider responsible for the woman and go and be from the lecture. him threatened him with imprisonment, threatened and with some kind of other punishment. it's not usually the woman itself gets direct punishment as far as we speak publicly, and usually they will find a man that they consider responsible and go to them to try and knock some kind of punishment. but with that said, women and men are definitely trying, you know, they're trying to go back to life as normal as possible. very difficult. but you know, you can't cage people up for 10 months at a time. it's just not humanly possible. so there definitely are women and men who are trying to dress, obviously within the traditional islamic cultural standards of honest on but you know, a little bit more like they used to. so not necessarily like when i 1st came,

i was shocked that not all women were waiting had to tow black and not all were wearing in the old style was the most, it would be wearing like a cold mask. and then their normal clothes, which covered their hair and their body everything perfectly within, according to culture, within islam and culture. but still the bright colors still trying to go out still trying to meet with friends still, you know, an airline banks at hospitals, cell phone companies, i grocery store still going to work, trying to, you know, trying as much as possible to go back to life as normal and so like you would see in terms of the sort of the edict of all that we saw. you know, it's probably like a 6040 is right now with 60 percent falling and 40 percent trying to get away with those measures. again, it's very interesting that the tall bond is essentially trying to get half the population, the population of men to help enforce the rule since there are limited numbers of them. ali latifah,

thank you so much for joining us. thank you. in pakistan, young girls do not receive health education about their own bodies. so when they experience their 1st ministration, it's often a surprise shock because the subject is taboo. here's the story of one woman on a mission to break the stigma surrounding periods. these girls are curious and somewhat confused for girls in guns of it, of buck fun hitting puberty, thought easy, menstruation and bodily changes are not discussed. openly, discussion, entrepreneurship is teaching younger, better minstrel hygiene because if with the mom is given us left, her then began to give us someone else because 1st we have to take a knowledge about this. set of nurses. social enterprise delivers menstrual hygiene

products to women's homes. but the prophets are used to hold period awareness workshops. her bashing stems from her own experiences. so then a god, i was in 9th class, i remember and it was sunday. and luckily i read it at home. so at the end of the day, you know, i adored my mother about it, and i adored it very scary me because i eating like i have some guy that i see this disease like a cancer. and then she gave me a piece of cloth. he only, you know, tell me i don't discuss with your father or your brother, the shame and to boot around bd. it's often makes it hard for women to buy peter products. shopkeepers in pakistan are mostly men. i know women who are dependent on there of the jenks to bice these products because they are not comfortable in going to the market and facing

the eyes that stared them in a society that stigmatized the spirits. most young girls rely on the mothers or older sisters. for information i was in school when i 1st got my period. i didn't know anything about it. when i went home, my mother told me this would happen every month. many girls in pakistan stay at home when demonstrating some even drop out of school altogether. beaded products are expensive and often inaccessible, so not is teaching good how to make reusable sanitary bats. they're cheaper and more environmentally friendly. these workshops aren't awarding for not, but she faced pakistan needs some taboo busting policies for lasting change to occur. and this week was dw is own ano,

global media forum, where the keynote speaker was nobel peace prize recipient, and journalist maria theresa, who travelled from the philippines. she also took time to speak to the channel more directly with a sobering warning about social media. i think the 1st step is to be aware that you are being insidiously manipulated by that. it's very st. platforms that you think is just connecting you. i think the 2nd is to look at the philippines as a cautionary tale on the impact of disinformation and information operations, literally from 2014, which was when we saw the 1st lies gaining traction on line. you know, we watched our history change 36 years ago, ferdinand marcus and his family were kicked out and people power revolved. and now 36 years later, his namesake ferdinand marco's junior, his only son is our president elect taking office on june 30th. so what are we

going to do? i understand the root cause of the problem. ok. and the 2nd thing is, you know, i said there are 3 pillars, it's tech, journalism, and community. so the 1st is, let's put guard rails on tech. let's build better attack demand, an end to impunity of tech. the 2nd is make sure independent journalism survives, right. and, and, and the 3rd part is work hand in hand with our communities, journalists are not going to be able to do this alone. that's it for tuesday. thank you for watching. ah, with who belie diaz is on its way to bring you more conservation. how do we make cities greener? how can we protect habitats? we can make a difference. global ideas, environmental series in global $3000.00 on
