taxes the right to levy taxes, the obligation to pay them both inherent in the sovereignty of nation states and their citizens. but what happens when the power of taxation is undermined? with taxation? oh. so it's up to 21st on the w. ah, this is the w news. asia coming up today, held hostage goals education in afghanistan, taking to the streets. young women stand off to the taliban, but risk violence. the dangers of just attending secondary school for girls or even higher as deadly attacks prove at uncertain future for women in afghanistan,

almost all aspects of daily life and now more restrictive. we meet a 20 year old trying to survive on to taliban rule. and scrambling for earthquake survive as a race against time that can be helped by technology and the insect world. we introduce you to the cycle cope roche. i i've been puzzling, glad you could join us. african women are refusing to be silent despite mounting repression and aggression from the ruling tele, bad. i've got to stand is the world's or the country where girls are forbidden from attending a secondary school or university solely because of their agenda defying the ban has its consequences. a private education center in cobble was blown up last week. the when says over 50 people were killed,

more than double the taliban stole the victims were mainly girls and young women. the female demonstrate is taking to the streets over the bombing. we're also attacked dozens of young women standing up for their roy to be better protected and to have an education taliban officials wheeled sticks to break up the crowd. bengal fires heard, and the women scramble in panic. the protests were in response to a bomb attack on a private education center. in kabul, a suicide bomber blew himself up in the women's section of the agenda, segregated hall, where students were preparing for university entrance exams. most of the victims were girls and young women who belong to the minority has ara community 19 year old. why here was in the classroom when the attack happened. 2 of her friends and

the teacher were killed. she managed to escape. she says she won't be intimidated. mortalities because that the only thing we have is education. education is our weapon and they want to take this weapon from us. i am, i want to study law and management and diplomacy because i want to be an influential politician buddy. that's exactly like why? yeah. oh melbourne. in also had big ambitions now have photos in her school books are all her family have left of her. bless your kindred, my daughter used to joke with me and say, and i will study until one day i become president or a lawyer and served the people of afghanistan let their foreigners, but she was martyrdom done with his napkin. oh my vanity was one of the young women killed in the attack. her family prey at her grave. and her sister vows that she

won't give up. who can they were really worried. it is hard for us. all the schools are closed for girls you better by she heard that it is, you know, this is very painful, but we will continue with the lessons and we will never give up or stop. and when we didn't, i'd only been on the go up of even brutal attacks like this one haven't crushed the resolve of young african women to keep up the fight for an education. so what is daily life like? for a woman in afghanistan, we found a former employee of the afghan postal service who also worked for a non profit group. but since the taliban came to power junior can no longer do either. she survived the terror attack 2 years ago sustaining minor injuries and says it feels like she's under constant surveillance from the taliban. wherever she goes. we asked her to send us this video diary mining in the us,

and yet they am 20 years old in call again, before the time one come to power, i was spokesperson for the organization here. pines. this organization was, did he did for woman in support, gave again yeah. and real estate or suggest educations the economy, technology sector in it cetera. the are not allowed by the top one government to continue higher education. and they have bad, again, was all going out said or the or just whenever i go outside i really think we still have to go out in black, lose in with main suite.

hm. with the, i have a lot of the telephone number. all will people has a crazy morning before and these 4 people are or is it today? did you get woman's going on? so the one who they are good to me. i want to continue my uti and carry out my media activities without any fear. i want to move really in peace, willing riley, via i can easily do my job without any kind office. i want to, all those domains are right and they are enjoying by either a cruise. they look. was that, as well as the me is head of our dorian postal service and has just published a book on african women fighting for freedom just how restrictive has life now

become again for girls and women in afghanistan? i've been african women's and girls lives have been restricted to an extreme extent . i'm going to refrain from counting all the restrictions that were put on them in the past year because it has come to a point that african women are confined to their homes and they do not have the right to leave the house without a male chaperone. there are exceptions for women who work in the education and health sector, but mostly women are to stay home. girls and most provinces are banned from receiving a secondary education and a life has become extremely restrictive for them. what happens then if they do step out of the house without that male chaperone you know, when this is not the 1st time african women underwent similar restrictions under the 1st taliban rule,

but schooling was forbidden for all girls and women. they have managed to set up underground schools to continue their education, carrying books under their borchers and meeting and secrecy and private houses. we're seeing similar strategies now, which is of course dangerous, because there's always the possibility of being caught. afghanistan, however, is not the same country. it was in the 90s. now girls and women also have access to virtual options as well. there are a number of internet courses teaching african girls the basics, plus a number of coding courses which are popular as well. i just want to stress that even though that these are very positive things, it is not a long term solution. african girls need to have access to public life and be full members of society. and that includes going to school and, and schooling and secrecy, and feeling that your are constantly being observed or followed. you mustn't be the easiest of situations or at all conducive to education. but

what dangers do they face? are we talking about jail here? are we talking about even harsher restrictions to life? well, we haven't, we haven't heard a lot from the country. it has become extremely difficult to get reliable sources inside the country. and d, w has evacuated all the correspondence. so we do only rely on our networks. and, and i haven't heard a lot about the sanctions that the taliban have been doing for or punishing for girls for going to school or, or for studying and secrecy. but, you know, been there hasn't been any positive development for women in the past year. we can assume what they might do if they would find out. and it also depends on the province because the taliban themselves are also very divided on this topic, women,

education and girls education. so if you go to one province, maybe in bucklin, missouri, if you will find girls even going to school after 6th grade. but then if you go to another province, a horse or helmand, women are completely restricted and they do, girls cannot go to school. so what sort of a future does afghanistan face by banning higher education for basically half its population and highly restricting their daily lives? well, there hasn't been any positive development for women and the past year at all. instead, they have lost all of their rights. and as i said, they're confined to their homes, this is why it's so important to support them in their struggle for freedom. in fact, they are called for self determination and freedom as the same cause women in iran and east quarters are fighting for it's. it's basically the same fight was like

a z me. thank you very much for being on the show today. ah. as an australian, i grew up with cockroaches. they weren't my friends, but they could one day be your savior. japanese researchers developing a new method of finding earthquake survivors trapped beneath the rubble of buildings. it's an ingenious mix of insect and robot. as you may well know, roaches can survive almost anything. japan registers dozens of destructive earthquakes each year. and hundreds of people killed in their wake. finding traps survivors fast is key to saving lives. in the near future, there could be a new kind of 1st respond on the sane half bug half machine. if you're trapped under rubble, you may be saved by a swarm of sy, bulk cockroaches. main to con,

like it for the main purpose we think this could be used for is searching for survivors in places where disasters have recurred, but it installed one in particular where there's an earthquake and people are buried in the rubble of collapse. buildings, our research is pursuing the application of things that could enter into small crevices in that kind of environment. you're from it. the way these backpacks made of flexible solar cells and alec tronics and mounted on to the insects to direct their movements by remote control or looking you know, break a breakthrough in this particular research is achieving over 10 milli watts of wireless. charging on top of a moving insect by attaching an extremely thin solar cell to its body. we don't know how they want a festival delirium. the research team says using cyberg insects is more effective than robots, whose limited battery life can cut short rescue efforts. the next step will be adding miniature sensors and cameras to locate trapped survivors. soil. once their

works over the backpack can be removed, and these bugs can get back to normal life in the to rary am until their next rescue mission. that's it for now. be sure to check out our other stories on d, w dot com slash asia, or on facebook and twitter. i'm been fizzle and i'll see you again here. same time, same place to mark, provide 3 people and trucks injured when trying to see the city center more and more refugees are being turned away. warner families played on the tax in syria for the credit on wheeler. demonstrated people fleeing extreme around
