i am thanks for joining us on the program today we just want to ask you how significant is this meeting between emmanuel mccall and muhammad sharif. what is significant in the sense that my cold is one of the most important european leaders and- the s solution it tryiying to salvage the jcp way. and that's important because. at the moment no one else is in. getting that. now michael has suggested that he'd like to soften the blow of us sanctions will somehow compensate the iranian people. how would he be able to do that how would you be able to get around u. s. sanctions in order to achieve this. well that's a bit tricky issue i'm not sure hee can b be but the things from the repepors that newew ones on the e one had to get some kind of f concession from trump.. in termrms off allowing somome countrtries in a perhaps t to body raining oil. despite the state an american. obsession with maximum pressure on the lawn. i don't thihink that's necessarily goioing to work b because t there are manyy

people in the t trump admiministrationon wanteted deat against any kind of compromise with the law. i think much more important will be to the question is whether micron can achieve this on its own. is. to get some kind of. banking. they range from working in europe itself some kind of credit line as has been suggested which would allow it belonged to basically by you lookingng. groups whatetever kind of coolo. atat with bad d credit. anand hw have the recent tensions on the streets of home use affected ties between iran and its european partners. well it definitely hasn't helped and i think some e degree it is being resolved but it is that a nastsy remiminder of how quickly thihis can the tory eight. and howow clear the rain are on that. they will use any kind of and if they can crack. the underlying problem here that the confrontation between the

us and iran is very very much on the brink of says spinning out of control. i care is that possibly going to leave it that thank you very much for jojoinig move onn now and thousands ofles hong kong protestors join hands to form human chains continuing almost three months of anti government demonstrations. the move i carries the human chained forms across baltic states that two years ago when some two million people join hands. to protest against soviet rule more demonstrations are planned in hohong kong for this weekendnd's still on a just to size small. looking hands over hong kong's harbor testers formed a human chain in a show of unity to demonstrate their fight for greater democracy in the region a stain. early on friday hundreds of accountants took to the streets calling on authorities in hong kong to respond to protesters dimond's and refrain from instilling fear. one is tell the

i'm not a shelby and this week we're taking a look at france's attitude to wait specifically her via and of the scales well the french t. say of an effort to see trim population obviously doesn't hold true the country does seem to harbor a deep rooted to staying five which people especially here in the capital to the extent the since twenty seventeen paris city hall as i did to tackle the issue with an annual anti sizes and day. a chance to call out social prejudice but also put the focus on discrimination in the workplace and was surprisingly in the medical field was there a types and die hards. and can have very serious consequences. marjorie is thirty nine years old. she's been battling her weight she was a child. and has had to put up with bullying from a young age. how much on on me they

used to call me the beach ball the barrel you feel like you have to play. it's a bit like that. marjororie has encountered the same prejudices from the medical profession. when she was a teenager her first visit to a g gynecologist was particular i'm pleasant. and m m the position at the top six she looked me up and down and said maybe you should stop making a pipig of yourself andnd click on she i think if she had slapped me in the face it would have hurt lasted a concert this room for the rest of the consultation she didn't say much. but i could tell from the way she looked at me and when she touched my stomach for the exam. i could tell she was disgusted sometimes i'm still doing. my morning would say just commenting forfeits. such humiliating treatment can be commonplace for peace people. judge for the sony is. now often reminded of that week by the docks his. even if the original motive for the consultation. or something else entirely. what about marjorie's nutritionist argues it's a doctor's job to warn that patients that being overweight is dangerous for the health.

this could bring more it may seem intrusive for some patients butut for the medical well being it's essential. that is also a secondary problem does in their thoughts and medical examinations but some more complicated to perform on a beast people. somometimes patients can be mis diagnosed as the test results ons accurate because the person is a beast. and that's for a dog to its very unsatisfactory. local four points on services for. service on the conclusion to the show room this hospital in real has developed a training program to teach doctors how to treat overweight people. part of the process involves putting on a seventeen kilogram fat suit. yeah. which affects the dominoes when you're in the mood is home putting on the obesity suit allows them to get into the skin of the patient i understand the difficulties they face just performing daily town. in terms of mobility but

also in their line. the looks they get from other peoplee the difficulty t they have doing thinings that we can do withouta second thought. to school fares on the policy. if you're planning staff as. scan. just walking down the street. the simple tasks can be daily tests for obese people. well sort of personal take on this issue i'm joined by also get the a dg first hand experience of thought phobia this now being turned into tv film. that's in the shape of the gross margin because we had to. it is. so easy for her. to come on the eve of sick of me. hello thank

you for being with us. tonight and the world will also for me old fat phobia into french dictionaries in twenty eighteen find it for us fast. locals without fabia i is a form of discrimination link to wait the city. and its multi layered. it maninifests is discscriminationn the workplace boxing with recruitment discrimination in the medical field and then of course every day discrimination. i meaean t thats on record.d. so what's's been yr personal experience of fat phobobia. of unfortunately i can say i've taken over the e thougt they'd be e a boxes zeke we migt experience discrimination in the workplace lafrancnce o or ii played for a job as a pr manager. and was toldd would not giving me the job because you on q. is inversely proportional to bmi body mass index today. let them have someone to talk to the decide been confronted with. this is not this s is how.

they get translates in the workplace. your call then in the medical field i've come across a calallous doctorsrs abt for many young. like a dentist he told me that the reason i had cavities was because i was brushing my teeth with caramel. or i've been refused exam such as ultrasound on the basis that quite. your fat will make it impossible to see what's in your stomach. and it will be a waste of the taxpayers money. that kind of thing that it was over and finallyly every day for a beer is not being able to fix on chat cafe terrace struggling to get three tight on the ground access. n not being able to sit in a cinema that sort of thing. right. in reality just 5% of french women wear a size eight. 13% a size ten well he's 40% of the country's women wear a size fourteen. i'm and yet we feel at the french population. has this idea of being magic he said as the reputation we havee

a broaoad and is the sense of ft fabia how do you explain that. alright that submission isn't saying much about french women it's more a generalization of sosome mythical pyrenean woman. he seems a little cigarettes and wine. i never eat any solid feed. the kids want around 17% of the french population is classified as a beast. they're a clear geographic disparities. in the capital for i itance we have the lowest number of fat people it's around 10% in paris. where is in the most impoverished areas of t the country like the north all parts of the south 26% of the populationon is classifieded a a base. that's right because you mentioned the polar regions of frogs that. and that's because as a socio e economic aspects to the city and the fulull fat phobia. the busy city is undoubtedly a social marca ago clem on you just have to look at the figures provided by the international labor organization is found on us and i do because i. own the coururting today statistics here in france 30% of welfare benefits freeze rb. follicles a compass also did not figigure gaze down to o st 7% among the

two and four thousand year is a month. or more song. o of the visit is a a yes on the maps jotting poverty alcoholism and depression . and to be city acroross france. look the samem. in the recruitment p process ovr weight women are eight times more likely to be discriminated against in this land the counterparts. by comparison minutes three times more likely to face discrimination issues i'm set off for. i'm one of the effects of that five young people who are overweight. often what t u need to understand is that. thehey be a fee to be citity and it can even kill. because people commit suicide as a result of the abuse and emotional distress. and w when peoplele have a a tey to eat that feelings all. that

discriminationon just ends up pd usg momore weight t gain. one of the ways of breaking that vicious cycle is to raise awareness which is exactly what axle peres's's doing witith his latest exhibition. the photographer spent three months in a specialized training. capturing the harsh reality of a a b. city and its trereatment. but also offering patients the opportunity to shine in a series of stunning autistic traits. johnson his subjects and the public at large to come to grips with the simple truth. often people who are obese or simply overweight have serious issues with that body image. and i wanted to show them that being fat doesn't mean they called me beautiful. and this is initial concerns about how visitors might react to the pictures with quickly as wage. the feedback i get from visitors thahat is not as really change that perception many told mee that when they first and to the gallery they were apprehensive. thinking the pictures might be somewhat voyeuristic whether they be confronted with bodies that would make them comfortable even spock discussed. at the

end that perception of all suddenly they. found themselves able to see beauty what they couldn't before. well the body positive movement begins to take hold from says famed fashion industry is having to reassess its approach to physical norms. or number of a high end retailers it continues to restrict sizes too in shorts clothing is anyone by a certain body type. hi street runs seem increasingly keen to o offer eight plus size version of the collections and use a wide variety of models in the campaigns take a lookk. in the french countryside a photo shoots on the way that it's changing enough a landscape the house of modeling. this is a new collective groan from the body positive movement in the united states. using plus size models to break through preconceptions about the female body. and it's an h. does
