. a right to education bought them off, our gun is among posen supp gone. student refugees living in a cramped area. indeed. 70 years ago, she fled gobble with her family. leaving everything behind. growing up, fought more often witnessed, bombings and wildlands. her father, filmmaker faced harassment and censorship by the taliban. now, in 12th grade, thought my is considered one of the brightest students. at the said jamal, a deal of gone school for refugees is doubled whether she is upset to hear about her friends who are bought from going to school back home. since i'm a girl, i know what problems they are facing. and education is a really, really basic right for every everybody,

whether they are girls of i dish or the study and if for we don't have the basic right then of course sir, it gives us feeling of sadness and we hope that there one day everybody have that or right to study, like her other students share similar stories of repression in laws. they felt unsafe at home, but now the school provides hope that these young people are coming to this school . i can i pursue my dreams when i go to university, to choose my favorite carrier to become an adult. them running the school is not an easy task for the principal condition job open from every morning. he makes the rounds to ensure that glasses take place without any disruptions shop previously dedicated. 15 years of his life, the girl's education and woman as empowerment in afghanistan, he fled his country in 2017. besides that of the bundle,

i am very proud to say that some girls who have graduated have been accepted and topped universities in india to pursue higher education. the school sets a great example for the success of refugee children not want more than getting in the school, lost its funding after the taliban to quote up gun a storm in 2021. but then the up gone embassy in delhi, which represents the former government, stepped in, in defiance of the thought upon his policy. it secured money from india, keep the school going. embassy official said viola hush me says it has been challenging since the poly want be cooler. but he sees the school is more important than ella. the gals getting education, and this is school as sending a clear message to the tall yvonne that nobody can ban education for the woman.

they are asking for the international community to support you of one of the schools and universities and afghanistan back at school for tomorrow. and her friends are busy with the glasses. they know they are lucky to have the opportunity to pursue a bright future, which is denied to their friends back home. ah, in columbia, a bloody civil war raged for decades. while rebels and the government have since come closer, society is still deeply divided. new projects are meant to help. vague dreams often start small in neva, they start with savory ucita biscuits, a specialty from the region, and for the women here, a symbol for peace, they have all been touched by war. some were thought of members,

some were victims of columbia's armed conflict. now they worked shoulder to shoulder. i've been in the beginning when we meet the victims for the 1st time. it's about understanding the pain that are real life has inflicted on them. mean, i know that i got a gala a and then there last e lives about understanding and telling them that we are here for them up i corner fair and to acknowledge and work hand in hand if we're trying to make up one way or the other now what am i made? i am so sad and vocal as a teenager media at theda joined the father. they trained her as a nurse. she believed in the groups message of social justice. but over the years she came to support peace. she was a signatory of the 2016 p steel, as was the father of the 2 children. but he did not live to see the changes they had hoped for. you guys will only companion mad. i'm annoyed at my partner. ramiro durand was killed 7 months ago. a it

anita love, the idea link and he loved that we are in these types of initiatives. but if do yet i'm wearing this as he needs at the year. it's unclear who was responsible for our meters, death. now he's one of over 300 signatories who have been killed since the peace deal. some of those assassinations were carried out by active dissident groups. violence also continues as steel and get a yes. other arm factions and the state fight to control territory. meanwhile, several initiatives, like the neva bakery are trying to help women touched by the conflict. those stigmatized by former getty yet eyes and those who were victims, cut into a yet, through he yos, family like millions in columbia, was displaced by fighting between the father and arrived at harrow militaries, on the way were recognized as victims of the armed conflict. due to the disappearance or my brother and my family's displacement. thank him. of although we feel like victims, we are also resilient because all we've been through apple,

so we're eager to contribute to p 6. the women have begun business for their business, but little to start with the need money for new machines and workshops. their dream is to sell our tea dasanya love to ride and grow like to make money and become a success story for reconciliation. her long alumni and needs piece and it's region received that. oh okay, we need to end this nightmare gig is that we don't want more orphans. it says lottery lynette, you know, get a move. been my way to find the way the women here have high hopes, who negotiations between the government and the yell and get a yes and the columbia as a whole can lead violence in the past and focus on a peaceful future. our last journey takes us to britain on the coast of wales. a family has been living with a minimal ecological footprint for 6 years without electricity or running water.

oh good. oh is that we're good? ours we're a luxury or elsa and billy are collecting eggs. their father, matthew watkinson, has made his dream come true. he and his family made a fresh start. oh, matthew gave up his job as a veterinarian. so did his wife caris. ringback ringback now they farm a small piece of land in new port wales where their property overlooks the water. oh, is a wealth of opportunities and possibilities for those with

a bit of imagination to say, i want to try something different. a miss was the outlet. we would just wanted to let creativity and imagination go and turn what is just bare sheep fields into something full of life to what concerns leave from what nature provides their property is completely off the grid. instead of a washing machine, they have a makeshift hand power device, a small windmill and solar panels provide electricity. but when it still lower cloudy power can be in short supply, everything is improvised and everything gets recycled, even old cars. so this one we, we plot all our seeds and we start our seeds growing in there and, and then this one with, we've got a spare bedroom in, so that's if friends or family visit the we started with our horse, laurie, that was seemed to be the quickest way to create a habitable space. we needed

a bit more space there were decided we'll get some old agricultural trailers. slot them in behind. lincoln altogether somehow cover him would. i'm this is the result is a can i complete a hodgepodge of things that we could find the time vegetables are grown in old truck tires it's winter, but rhubarb is sprouting from the soil. they grow fruit and vegetables without pesticides, and take care to increase file diversity on their property. they will, sorry. the wealth government support sustainable projects like this one under a program called one planet development. in return, the what concerns must demonstrate they provide at least 65 percent of their food and energy themselves to earn money. they give courses for people who want to live a low impact lifestyle. they'd hope to raise honey bees,

but that turned out to be more difficult than they thought. the bees were a big part of what we were doing up here, which is not getting as much honey as we thought. whether that's to do with climate change, i'm warm wet to winter's that we seem to be getting more austin of per year bond for bees. a lot of paperwork goes into achieving and maintaining their status as eco pioneers. every year, the authorities check to make sure that the family is as self sufficient as the rules require, they are building permit and the national park depends on it. and to show what your ecological footprint is, you, you have to literally record everything. you've spent money on all the food, any station res, secondhand clothes, new clothes, shoes like it just absolutely everything. i am the what concerns were allowed to build on the coast and the national park. they received the permit because they met

strict environmental criteria. busy there on the mountain known as kindly among the locals. it said to be a magical place and some object to the watkins since living there. when the application was made for the one punitive adamant, it was no move to the shoe because cunning grease held in high regard and revered locally on many people thought it was inappropriate of any form of development on the slopes of conning. the what concerns are doing without comforts many take for granted. life and their converted trailers is rustic especially on damp winter evenings. but they love it here and want to be an example for their children. even if some of their neighbors haven't been won over the what concerns hope that they're inspiring as many people as possible to live in harmony with nature. ah ah

ah, is it a matter of telling or can everyone new, are they self motivated or do they need a lot of outside pressure? musical prodigies. what does the rest of their life look like? we asked genius is big and small. experts and the parents aren't 21 next auntie w jeremy has had 1111 north single one mission is to offend the 1st female jannen shortest space the gender gap in space exploration. germany's 1st female astronaut has been
