12:31 pm
reported irregularities. the election commission declared the pro russian ruling party, the winner. thousands protested the official results afterwards in the capital of the b. c. so for now, it looks like she will stay in power. george and prime minister exactly copied zip, according to official results, his party, georgia dream receive more than half of the boat. but this victory is a cause for concern within the george and l. g. b t q plus community activists like tom or j. kelly are worried, there will be less and less safe spaces for people like her to live their lives and freedom. and with pride. in recent years, georgia has seen a rise in hate crimes and violence against the l. g. b t q plus community. it's a painful reality that tomorrow to kelly is confronted with regularly. the door to her organizations, offices still bear the signs of vandalism. some of the activists are here for
12:32 pm
a meeting to march. i kelly as director of tbilisi pride, a group that advocates for the queer community. they are a minority that feels increasingly under threat. everybody whose career feels really heavy and a lot of people have been leaving georgia actually in the last few months. we've seen a lot of people that like, i personally know cold, go abroad to seek asylum because they feel that it's not so safe anymore. that's largely due to new legislation that went into force in georgia just a few weeks earlier. according to its advocates, the main law called on family values and protection of minors will shield children and young people from supposed l. g b t q plus propaganda. the law of benz same sex marriage adoption by non heterosexual couples, gender reassignment surgery, and public advocacy of l. g b t q plus rights. the worst of all system arch kelly is that the law is dealing
12:33 pm
hatred in georgia and society. and the day off to the adoption of this intelligibility bill, really the most famous transform and go to murdered. so actually, trans people have the most difficult blogger actor in model, cause already oper. i'm it say, was the 1st person in georgia to publicly come out as transgender the day after the new law was passed, she was killed tomorrow, has also experienced violence as the organizer of to believe. the pride last year she reported live on georgia and television, describing how she and fellow campaigners were attacked by a homophobic mon shortly before the event. the pride festival was canceled. we've got uh, basically surrounded by default, right? we got thrown stones and bottles. it was horrible, it just felt like all this month. so forks that we had put into organizing the festival. and all this, it had just been for nothing to as the activists say,
12:34 pm
the rise of hatred and violence is due to a rocky club. i could say the incumbent prime minister, who, according to official results, was re elected to his post despite accusations of electoral fraud. he says his mandate has been confirmed. good, i'll go to law, you will do, but it's for the last 4 years have been particularly difficult. booty certainly is got that the number with you. we had to overcome many challenges on the system and we couldn't have achieved any success without the george and people standing by their elected government. this mid october, the come on, but on the streets of to police see people seem largely accepting of l g b t q plus rights. ma'am. so i have a very loyal attitude. well, everyone has the freedom to live the way they want it to go through sort of what some of the covers certainly get them to do, suspend their science so that if we are a democratic country and so there shouldn't be laws like this one moved to turn on
12:35 pm
then what about the specific oh no, it's a disgrace that the government has this law to $26.00. really i do. i think i don't even use the photos hold for well, good. just by pride festival. any way they can live freely, either way, you told on toner volume against violence and insults cover these all, i did not say that she would have to go beyond and georgia is a conservative country, and the orthodox church wields a great deal of power. analysts say that georgian society has become somewhat more accepting in recent years, but the new law and the conservative georgia dream party which was declared the winner of the parliamentary elections on october 26th, could reverse that trend. this law does not change much on the grounds. there is no legal ground for neither of same sex marriages, nor partnership laws. nothing got this or it's on the contrary. this law can be used as grounds the to go after um,
12:36 pm
either opposing voices as well. georgia was granted candidate status for e, you, accession negotiations almost a year ago. the talks have been on hold for the past 6 months after georgia passed a controversial for an influence lost another restrictive law like the one that claimed to be countering l g b t. t plus propaganda. the elections are unlikely to change that the tomorrow is not giving up. we will get to work and we will have to knock on the door. some bill position will be like new quality and governments. so this 1st a voltage the entails, if it's a bill, along with the other anti democratic loss in georgia, but the road to change will be long and rocky. in europe in fairytales, no animal has a worse reputation than the big bad wolf. but even in real life, there's debate about whether wolves should be fully protected or shot if they
12:37 pm
killed farm animals. for sheep keepers like felicia cortisol, it's a clear case. he wants his animals to live in safety. our reporter traveled to the spanish region of castillo and my own, where there's a lot of tension among sheep farmers and the entire community. the theory and wolf is a clever animal. they know that the sheep and calls here in northwest and spain all easy pray or the 4 of them when you get up in the morning, you want to check on your hurt and see this. it's up. i don't sleep a quarter salazer livestock farmer here in northern spain, an average of 15 farm animals are killed by wolves in this region every day. for farmers, it's a heavy blow, even though the regional government pays compensation for the animals. mitchell barnett for me, this is a huge loss, but not so much the sheep killed by the wolf,
12:38 pm
but also what comes afterward, the miscarriage in this way, the stressed her to go. no. philippe owns 1200 sheep. he's lost more tools than he can count. that's why the predators were ones hunted down in this part of spain . about 3 years ago, both hunting became a legal across the country fellow. i'm looking to book a couple of it will, doesn't have to disappear completely hit a, but it has to be held in check on the outcome. if we want our hurts to graze company and help prevent forest fires for them. and even if we want there to be shepherds in our village, it, uh, i'll be on the bus boat, then we have to keep the wolves under control control and the phone on each on at the lower level, the castilian legal region is home to about 1800 volts. some areas have the highest population density and all of western europe. even so the erie and wolf is under protection in spain. to him as the honors, as
12:39 pm
a wolf activist. as he works as a wolf, hawkins sienna, do like label and explains to visitors why he believes will need to be protected in the course. he's can walk in and pop in the walls and place a fundamental role in ecosystem to input off. got it, but it helps the weak and vulnerable training. it almost at some point that makes it something like a veterinarian of the forest. it's kind of helping to prevent the spread of disease then from what others will no longer have any natural predators here. the vials best once lived here on long gone. ok, not the it's all though they have no natural predators as the type of control of their own numbers. because only the alpha pair has off spring, not the entire packed. in the extent to which they reproduce also depends on the food supply. the whole state of you sent it pen is just as mold and enough to
12:40 pm
tam t is the hum to and has killed was before you know, the world's attracts a wolf was here we do and there's another if you the very fresh one you'll see me to think of this cause having that we use different everything. okay . you didn't need it from me so that because so many sheep were getting killed at the cottonwood for we also shot a few wolves every year and we'll cut out $401.00 and $1.00 myself now that they've banned that. and because we have to live with more and more livestock being killed quickly when i talk a little the regional government has as an impulse, even though they're all plenty of wolves in this area, they're listed as an endangered species in all of spain. wolf hunting is found, and local authorities have the hands tied. if one conflict in the conflict is
12:41 pm
escalating, moving to the wolf population will eventually stabilize when all of the remaining land and territory is occupied. sandita. but then large scale livestock finding will no longer be possible here. see what spots livestock, foaming is an important source of income and this pulse of spain, sleep it is sheep pharma has already thoughts about giving up his truck or so i'm wondering if i can use any word. i'll look for something else. move to the city, work as a street sweeper or whatever. they think i'm serious. i don't think i'll go to class on it. i feel like what is the foam is give up the slopes. that will be futile sheet and less pray. the wolf population would decline. it would diffuse the conflict box as a cost a trip in a hot air balloon. i'm sure that's not just on my bucket list. well,
12:42 pm
