2:34 pm
especially in those countries where seek dias for a settled in large numbers like us, you gay, canada, australia, even in germany for that matter. now these attacks that have taken place outside indian missions in several countries, there were basically demonstrations which culminated into violence. these were by people who sympathize with this harvest. danny movement, which is outlawed in india, i'm repulsing, was also a rather is also one such an individual who is associated will sympathize with this movement and he is on the run right now along with several of his supporters. british are popular is i'm reporting an india well a to be clear, de la steer. ah, no one knew who am read by learn sing was he had a bit of a presence on social media, and he was in dubai,
2:35 pm
but only in only last year he came to india. he went to print job and he went straight away to the birthplace, offer balancing hinder, our valley, who was the face of the hottest on movement on and the militancy of the 1980s. so i'm report, went to the normal, is a bernita village, and then he dressed himself up or has been down while it is started. also speaking, the language of been around valise, speaking about for things like victimization of seeks or things like slavery. freedom, seeing that youth or seek youth should go for baptism and they should fight for, for the faith. these kind of things attracted a large following. and her last month about 4 weeks ago, several of her support are stronger police station in job. and to do in a, in a bit do free for several off their age. and this is
2:36 pm
a manhunt which already is have launched against him. is all about that case, right now village. you talked a bit earlier about the spell of turbo them in the it is in her punjab. what is the sensitivity in india around the color sun and this movement? well it's, it's a very sensitive issue, a bridge it this militancy off been job. it went on for years and it led to the deaths of tens of thousands of people. the people get various estimates from 30000 to even 60000 people are believed to have been killed during this either high profile. the assassinations also took place which include those, a former prime minister in oregon, the former chief minister of when job bouncing up. eventually the holostar movement was outlawed. but in punjab there's a sentiment around the hassan movement still exists. there is a shrine in the name of mineral molly inside the golden temple for richard as well

. mobile is can be seen on several stickers, posters, even dish. the dish is a part of popular culture in punjab. but the, the security agencies, the political establishment is always wary of kurdistan sentiment, because the people who identified themselves with the hottest on movement around the world keep organizing campaigns to, to keep up this. or rather the idea of this movement alive. and are often politicians in punjab are often accused of whipping up. this is rhetoric around hollis done to to polarize the voters ahead of elections every time simulations or parliamentary elections around the corner in the job, very daunting bugs. latest manhunt other fears. gerardo burke, punjab could potentially see another spell of terrorism. i mean you spoke about this continuous sentiment around castanan punjab.
2:38 pm
very much obese. these fears have been in fact been there for a long time. a former chief minister of punjab was amongst the tallest leaders of the congress party. their captain of the sea. he used to continuously say that the opposition parties and he specifically targeted the armored me party which is in power right now in punjab for, for minting or least danny sentiment in punjab. now obviously of the, our might be party with the had a sunny element in punjab would never be proven. and the armored me party is rolling now. but several politicians are wip up this readily. and for the last couple of years, especially many have been talking about the revival of the hollis. danny movement. now, ever since, i'm glad by the saying, you know, came onto the scene and he started dressing up himself, has been down valley, then security agencies are started taking not suddenly of what is happening and been job. now many analysts also ask questions as to why was unreal by the seeing who was in debate for the last, at least a decade. he was running
2:39 pm
a family business, there suddenly came to print job. why was he given a gun license by the center? so several analysts also say that rob murmured policy is being used by politicians to polarize the electorate in punjab. but then the hi, this done the word and the militancy around it, make it very difficult and may make people just set up and take notice charter reliever gerber. thanks so much for bringing us all that context char record to care. and billy, thank you. ah. turns a nissan export, as best horse continues to be used as building material across the country. the material is cheap and heat resistant, but also carcinogenic. it's fibers are known to cause among other conditions, lung cancer. despite that, indonesia remains among the top 5 importers of the material. it looks like a harmless piece of rubble, but it's as deadly as
2:40 pm
a dangerous fibers. the material dep, this men are collecting is called asbestos. and you can find it in almost every nation, feel each all the gray roofs you see here in chandler, in west java, as in most parts of indonesia, are met from asbestos for over a decade. mama doris man has been trying to educate villagers about the west in 4th, when using this building material from from proceed. so listen, we will start collecting the asbestos in this area. remember, the small pieces are the most dangerous ones. are that where the water team the team is gucia, before picking up the asbestos be says they have to be sprinkled with water. this prevents the fine fibers from getting into the air. if inhaled the fibers can be highly carcinogenic, the reason why the substance has been been in over 70 countries,
2:41 pm
it is most dangerous when being installed or they come down. but even today, many doctors here are still aware of the healthways cathy guard was difficult to make the case that this is a health threat. my cancer can be caused by many things. so what exactly are the symptoms when exposed to asbestos? many doctors in indonesia don't know and is that believe the person has to be close, isn't it? so we have a lot to clarify. dounia hex experience. just such ignorance. she suffers from asbestosis along the sea is caused by exposure to asbestos that cannot be cured and leads to cancer. she lost her job because of her illness. now after working for 20 years at an asbestos factory in indonesia that he can finish 2011. i started to call him back in 2012, it got worse because for months the half did not heal. and i went to the clinic to ask the doctor for a referral. the result was a positive x ray for a long disease,
2:42 pm
but initially they did not say asbestosis. on the 6 years later was she given the correct diagnosis? the problem is not likely to disappear soon. the building material is very cheap and it acts as a shield to the tropical hip hop. the n g o indonesia been asbestos network has asked the government to stop importing asbestos since 2012. it began in my ariba as miss because asbestos is largely in pu, it various agencies from customs, the ministry of trade industry to the environment, ministry are involved, but each department throws the response to another. that's why we went straight to the president of precedent today to any i still the 4th largest importer of asbestos in the word. until before i indicated above its dangers of the responses lethal will change. the pieces they have collected to day will simply be buried in the ground. a special way site for the little material does not exist.
