it's a different story and could pianist around for to kill homage us north. several people were hurt by artillery fire. the morning we've visited. this is where they would normally go, and the take ruined the local police clinic just a few days before the injured have to leave town. the head doctor shows us what is left off his office provided for your for john wooten, there was there's simply no excuse for this other, it looks like they want to destroy the civilian population. there is never been military personnel at the poly clinic. only civilians know what maybe we just provided medical treatment to normal people in need of all those movies on the home or workers not saving them from. dunham. hewing at one of the few. h. e. m.

afghanistan. they are not allowed to leave their homes alone. go to school or work, but there are exceptions. no what i'm guessing the meat duck tamela lie facie. she's a rare exception in afghanistan. why? the taliban forced most working women from that jobs. doctor f i. e c. got a promotion. she's now a director of the country's biggest maternity clinic and cobble with female in neonatal health is one area where the fundamentalist rulers understand they need women should on a more than once done as america. this is linked to the culture and tradition of afghanistan. when a woman is pregnant, she should go to a female doctor. i had only gonna because a female doctor can better examine and treat her than a male doctor who was a lot of me than i get one a mother you gonna mazata back over mel. dr. i say some of milk actually she got the other. her ward rounds are busy. the hospital deals with up to 2500 birth

a month. i mean, many of the women have difficult deliveries you to man attrition and anemia as not that it can be making. the team performs up to 40, says area and sections each day for her classes that remember name, how does he get it? does your them a lot of people are jobless on amazon, and when families cannot afford for expecting mothers to eat, could a lot in a tricia's food level. they face a lot of problems. i'm lamba problem shows up the shortest on the on them many babies here a born prematurely. more than 20 new borns have died. each of the past 4 months. the 1000000000 spent by foreign powers on development failed to create the lasting conditions needed to reduce infant mortality in my book that i am a doctor. i have not left the country for the past 26 years and in all this time have gunnison was never stable and never peaceful though. lot susie with her. when

a single female. and i want to help the women of my country, jamaica there is any one hold calmer. where the marvel with follow her modest korea, where the up to the taliban, they weighty site. how many women doctors they want and where to find a joke and it doesn't have it. so finish wanna give michelle to a meeting and, and with i had, you know, the ambia of northern argentina, or one of the few indigenous peoples left in the south american country. they have also been affected by the corona virus pandemic. and are trying to protect themselves from the virus as best they can. the and by indigenous community of 20 remodeled dose is located in the sparsely populated border region between argentina, brazil, and paraguay. so far, no one here has contracted coven 19. but they're worried. the traditional medicinal plants they rely on to protect themselves are becoming ever harder to find valcall

. i use our ne, doing plans to treat respiratory diseases law, but there aren't so many around denying because so much of the forest here has been filled by loggers. you would go to eat and there have been more and more forest fires. the last few months was when the forest is burning, we can breathe as well. it was a cobra 19 infection that would make it was in worse, og. so of course, we're worried into a little bit in recent years, multinational corporations have occupied vast areas of indigenous lands to produce pulp for the paper industry. according to the u. n, the pulp and paper industries are among the world's biggest polluters. supplies of drinking water are now under threat. argentina's government says it has introduce measures to protect them via people in the home. yet for a minute. the minute after medical staff and essential workers indigenous

communities were one of the 1st groups to be vaccinated. there vaccination rate is 90 to 95 percent record. despite efforts to get the vaccines to isolated areas, many members of the m by a community did not want to be vaccinated. they prefer to rely on traditional medicinal plants and their knowledge of nature passed down through the generations . the earth has belong to us for generations. and we take care of it because we can only live and survive together with nature. as a people we were here long before any one else. ah, the community here hopes to protect itself from the corona virus by sticking together and relying on ancient traditions. ah, see horses are some of nature's most fascinating creatures. but in portugal,

their population is declining at an alarming rate due to coastal over fishing. sea horses have captivated the human imagination for thousands of years. and many cultures see them as mythical creatures. one person enthralled by these small animals is biologist george palmer. for the past 15 years, he had studied them here at the faro marine research station in southern portugal. ah, i get really that's busy for the family because they're still different. so interesting. so, so saturday of and they were present so well there i thought that become like a my role model for research. the station is located in ria formosa, a lagoon with designated protected zones for short and long snout at sea horses.

this is an oasis. scientists have discovered more specimens here than anywhere else . but the sea horses are currently under severe threat. as far as i know, the 1st, the researchers, they estimate the us, i'm more than 1200000 sea horses in on ah, few see 4 years ago there were estimating around 160000 quite a bit please. one problem is the fishing community through we can say sal lived on an island in the lagoon. he loves the sea horses having grown up around them. he knows the areas where fishing is prohibited, but he also knows that there are those who don't respect the restrictions. audible good method again, my protect its own, starts close to where we are now and stretches all the way back. farrah, who forest professional fishermen are not the problem always pick of the ones we're fishing illegally, or we'll use dragnet to sort of march the same horses with alice. good,

a. yep. and you'll go all gobbledygook. them up. george. the biologist is looking for small shrimps for his sea horse farm. to him, the issue is more nuanced. see, horses becoming caught is understandable. a much graver problem is the destruction of this sensitive animals habitat by the fishing nets themselves. this has led him to search for alternatives and experiment with artificial seaweed. together with his colleagues, he has already covered large patches in the lagoon and by the looks of it, the sea horses are warming up to the new material. sources go there, love it in an artificial thing. it's good for the start and then becomes natural because all other animals are colonized this of the visual factors and me. and that's why we thought out of 100 official, one. it's a glimmer of hope for a species that keeps captivating the imagination of humans. but is now threatened by their very actions almost everywhere in the world. not only in their oasis in
