neverland even that sat. in the class and i was very much for that thank you i mean how do you get evening simon. eating at looking at one of our top stories today about some reactions to this india papaa some crisis. mamany reactions from those two countries of course has been a lot of international. attention on it throughout the day -- cnn was headlining on it -- on that front page paxon to free captured indian part an effort to diffuse the cashman's stand up and i think that's an important sites will simply because with everyone seeining this as an appeasement of tensions as a stand off but the way it's perceived in the way both countries. looking at it is a very much a pr stunts it's very much as i who can gain more politically more allies from this and if you take for the very simple. example of this the tweets that the government of pakistan of inputting not they've been retweeting what other countries have been saying about them so for example here the european union. and they say it said it was a

good sign on the part off pakistan to release the engine pilots. that and also a re tweeted at the u. n. secretary general and so on your good terrace and he welcomes the decision of prime minister imran khan so you can see that they're really trying to get positive reviews. to what they've been done because as we imagine that the situation in kashmir is is no where near. being resolved ready and i structure re foods a generalist that will say saying by returning the pilot the magna minutes see shawn byrum conoce packs and once again attains the moral high ground very strong was the terminology. very important here which is being used on the flip side of this we also have -- the the more radical side how -- site had me do is a veteran of the soviet afghan war he signed a seventy two years history of tax on an engineer to thirteen and implants were captured alive always sent back with respect. nearly twelve pakistani pilots which acted in in general a

single pilot will his body was ever returns in just so you can see that in of itself the situation still has created. a lot of tension along the critics of role and it's very difficult to see on a clay ending to it. on the other side of the border of course in india -- the the pilot ibm down is reaeay seen as a hero and and this -- picture which you can see in this tweet here is actually trending and it's obviously the colors of the indian flag. the fighter jets in the middle with the moustache which has been ever present. as you can imagine as non it's a great mustache -- which is -- that i'm father has a cinema slash i just need to bring that to the equation here. probably got a lot of style the. but in you can see that the mustache it is doing the wings off the plane so everyone considers him a hero here you can see his face with with again the engine flat colors behind the plane w welcome home. and i've been and d done i was susuper hero and this s week h s well from ---

this y young ladady welcomome bo the ledge couountry indndianapos so a lot of patriotism in in this moment from a let's. move on to another story you've been looking at a new movement bassman. gaining a great deal of momentum across africa and this is of course against sexual violence against women it's the latest -- bracket -- all all spend a few days to find a a lack of a better word for it of the hashtag me too and it's how statement but which loosely translated. in english means that not even afraid hashtag not even afraid and this happens. and that because at french actress nowadays books on john it was allegedly attacked by a director who has been named as tell you will toss -- woodrow go -- and these events happened at the fest parker -- film festival which the pan african film festival and of course people a appraising this actress for having come out. spoken because in africa more so perhaps than anywhere else in the world is very difficult it to come out with that with the

statements and and to get traction on them and and this is a actually what's been important is that. the movement is getting traction people iraqi in it am here is of course an article in the dallas soon he said which shows that a petition has been known to actually get this direct -- arrested will to face -- charges which at just in itself is almost surreal because it should just happen automatically shins at sign upup. so it is so it's really shine aspect of it -- here in palm pc pieces suffered by african women fill industry of course confides very french speaking but of course is getting more -- international a press as as the hours go by it iss trending so hopefully more attention will come to that. and of course this the hashtag that liberates -- the words of actresses in africa so does really the idea that this is a turning turning point it's a waste of the shows of the women who are available to speak

all allowed to speak you canan. you can actually -- do and there's actually a blog. that's being put out on african women in cinema blogspot dot com which is at different women sharing their experiences talking about it r really -- conversing and of course we we saw the the foundations of that with the hashtag me too but i suppose because this is very local and probably closer to them. they at they have this this idea of of you know pushing up. let's really have this does bring about as some antique present [inaudible] yes said jay inslee the governor of a washington who -- has branded himself as the candidate who will bring about climate change and he put this tweet outs and presidential candidate running in the name of climate change has arrived. and his name is jay inslee. then your clothes talking about the possibilities of if you could win if he could win the the comparisons with al gore of

course he famously. ran against -- bush and and and there are people who are saying that he might actually have the possibility to win this -- genlis putting out i think a lot of pundits are going to be surprising governor jay inslee not a national figure quickly getting support among young voters making climate change the focus of his campaign. many political commentates really underestimates how this masses the young vote to so -- especially in an issue which is so pressing for the world at the man to have someone who is based inin that campaign about that. and would you know the the demonstratioions which seemed credit than back for example in particular this does seem like something that could catch on and refreshing to see. simon hunting thank you very much for that update in of course call sign up for the business update thank you for watching stay tuned
