women are march or audit? march movement has been able to change anything and doctors on society. first of all, i saying that it has changed a lot of discussions around women's rights and abuse that women face in focus on what we're not happening before it's march, before it became controversial. and because of march now every year we have these discussions, we had the debate, we are these arguments. 5 massively across the country, which we do not see the floor. thank you very much. now we can see a lot of people are holding different laptops parents. a that's often used and mostly criticized. is this one what they've made out to somebody? my son, and this means that my boarding my right now chris did say that women mark just use this slogan, asked for sexual emancipation or sexual freedom. what does it mean made out to somebody? my is my body to my right. my body is my integrity, my content should be

specially when it comes to the role of women. women's marches were not the only protests in pakistan. the last 24 hours, former prime minister in marin con supporters, some of whom radish fix clashed with police in lahore. officers responded by firing tear gas. one demonstrated reportedly died. others were injured and more were detained. the escalation prompted khan to call off a planned rally, and he accused the government of intentionally making the situation worse. the city had band public gatherings earlier in the day and move widely viewed as specifically targeting con. he has already been on air or rather taken off air. pakistan's media regulator has band broadcasts of con, speeches on charges. he is spreading hate against the nation's institutions,

a reference to the all powerful military. turning now to indonesia, where a court has sentenced to football, match officials to prison for one of the world's deadliest. and he'd rather stadium crushes $135.00 people died last year after police fire tear gas into the crowd. the official sentenced to 18 months was found guilty of negligence for selling too many tickets, and another a security officer was sentenced to one year. here's a look back at what happened at the game between a, a my, to buy it in october last year. these were the chaotic scenes that led to a football match, becoming deadly in total indonesian police $545.00 rounds of tear gas at the match . last october, world footballs governing body thief bands, the practice inside stadiums. and for good reason,

a 135 people died in the resulting stampedes. this graffiti on the stadium was making the fans feelings clear. it was the biggest loss of life at any game of football for almost 60 years. protestors took to the streets to call for a sara investigation into the disaster. officials and indonesia had already pinpointed the firing of kick ass is the main cause. at this time, pete, the police are to blame other factors, including the stadium being over filled and exit. gates being locked shops, 3 police officers and to match officials went on trial, charged with negligence. the match officials have now been convicted and given jail time. the police officers await judgment. joining us his t w's rebecca and happy to pool in jakarta. rebecca, this just happened a few hours ago, but what is the reaction you're seeing so far from the public over this sentencing?

yes, the public expressed their disappointment over at the sentencing 18 months in prison for up duel harris as organizing committee chairman of r, m f c and one. you're in prison for a suit. also 3 snow, as i must security officer, this as much lighter than what the prosecutors had called for 6 years and 8 months sentences for both defendants and the her public feels that this doesn't deserved doesn't serve the justice for the death of a 135 people that died in the tragedy and the family members of the victim even said that they would prefer for the defendants to be released free because this is not the result that they hope for. and the family members also feel that

this show how worthless the lives of all the people who died on the death the us football stadium, tragedy in the country's history. so there are allied aw of disappointment and also anger field over there. sentencing and the family member also claimed that the trial is full of many pollution and political schemes. so what happens next? i mean, do, will we see further prosecutions and do you think, given the sentencing officials or will they take a serious, long term look at the safety of these large venues? so one other suspect i've had young as the former president, director of fed, they li, got indonesia battle he as responsible as the national football competition, organizes organizer has not begin his trial. yet as the east java regional police have not been able to complete the case file since december 2022. so this is

another case that we have to follow through as well. but the indonesian football association said that this tragedy was a very important wake up call for the indonesian football to become a better organization as well. and in terms of security across stadiums, this is what they have to look for as well. rebecca not be to pollute. thank you so much for joining us. in south korea, reality tv series, looking into the lives of unmarried couples living together, has captured a lot of attention in a generally conservative and judgmental society presents in south korea. the expected question for women is, is he a keeper? but in this show, women beside if they want to be kept. jo ann lee have been together for 10 years, but in a rather unconventional way. they're not married. little

a little over here that you could. why do i have to get married? you would need food. i'm most comfortable as it is now a little. i don't understand why i have to get married and do things like paying a visit to the parents of both sides every holiday season. oh birthdays. we all of them one in 10. good. it will reality tv trends seemed to reflect government data that only 50 percent of south koreans now consider marriage a must. and it's mostly women like lee who don't want to put a ring on it. toner, hug them, if i get married, the marriage will make it some kind of a right for my husband and his parents to demand that i have a baby. so i also want to avoid that south korean women are expected to do the bulk of child care and housework. but the meal star of this show says men who one partners need to adjust. i think husbands need to change their mindset for values

on how to raise a child together. however, it seems there is no such thing. that's exactly 5050 when it comes to raising a child, like only a mother can breastfeed her baby at the civil side. okay. all you okay. yep. what i thought the side of me is for reality tv dating shows is growing. experts say that even those avoiding marriage enjoy watching an idealized romantic relationship. at least when decent shows aired across south korea last year alone. where women say no to marriage with no regrets. thanks for watching. good bye. ah, ah, what's making the headlights and what's behind them? d. w, and use africa. the show that faculty issues shaping the continent. life is slowly getting back to normally on the street to give you enough reports on the inside.
