and they are joined by phoebe kong from east asia bureau thanks for joining us so today taiwan as you said is holding three referenda on how same sex marriage could be one of people one of the choices on the ballot basically this is not about what not to legalize same sex marriage is about how to implemented it how to make it happen so the voters in taiwan they were asked about or whether the same sex marriage should be legalized by either amending the assisting civil code or other new special law where same sex couples will be around to different rights compared with heterosexual couples this is considered to be another kind of the scrim the nation according to respect. amend the existing civil coke that means they will have equal rights compared to heterosexual couples but phoebe last year taiwan's supreme court ruled that banning gay marriage was unconstitutional so why is this issue back on the vote i mean this is the question and the. most money another ruling last year the government to growth in last within two years but since then the government they haven't put forward any pr

the existing civil coke that means they will have equal rights compared to heterosexual couples but phoebe last year taiwan's supreme court ruled that banning gay marriage was unconstitutional so why is this issue back on the vote i mean this is the question and the. most money another ruling last year the government to end their growth in the last within two years but since then the government they haven't put forward any proposal or bill to the society or to the parliament so there's blaming that because there is no consensus the entire society so in this referendum different groups they are like raising motions to put pressure on one governments in order to like call for the method to implement same sex marriage in a way they want so that the religious group they want to do it in a more conservative way and they want to adopt a more progressive method or eight looking at taiwan it obviously has a very vibrant gay community but how are people feeling about this do they think that supporting same sex marriage is the way to go this is actually a very polarizing issue in taiwan society and

let's kick off with an e—mail from phoebe who says, i understand that parliament is falling out overhe deal agreed by theresa may but i don't know what the deal agreed was. can you tell me this. john, have you read it? it is 500 pages and haven't read it all but i've the bits that matter. that was met with approval from a newswatch viewer. but despite attempts by politicians and journalists to explain the detial, many members of the audience still believe there's a lack of clarity and an emphasis on politician's career prospects rather policy effecting ordinary people. i found it to be frustrating lack of analysis of the actual draft deal leaving the public in the dark regarding its ramifications. the majority of your reporting concentrated on the political shenanigans going on in and around westminster. you seem to have exclusively concentrated on theresa may's future which is crucial to the outcome of the situation but how this deal would affect our country is far more important. perhaps if there had been more insightful coverage during the 2016 referendum we wouldn't have ended up

for more i'm joined now in the studio by phoebe king from east asia. feeney welcome good to see you know we have five referendums on gay rights today and the issue of same sex marriage is also included in these referendums with so many questions in the mix can you really expect a coherent result. yeah we have like as you mentioned we have ten referenda in total in this election and wish breaks the record high one selection is history so . today they are now they're being asked to these three to determine whether same sex marriage to be legalized in like by amending the civil code or and their special law which means same sex couples they will be granted different rights different from like heterosexual couples and that is considered to be a kind of discrimination. on the other side. they want to do even more so that way so that we have like referendums from both camps at the same time in this elections where you have taiwan's court ruling last year that seemed sex marriage should be allowed yet this is not the case why is this for me yeah but firstly w

there's a phoebe perched a little to the left there. >> focus on finding beauty in nature versus worryinghatever terrible things are going on. >> using your mind in a different way, getting away from the computer, just knowing this next hour and a half, i'm just going to stand here and look at these beautiful birds. >> you're always meeting new people. a lot of times when you're birding, you'll notice someone else with binoculars. people think they have to go on this trip to a place that has a lot of birds. you really don't need to. >> it makes you aware that even though we're living in the city, which is such a manmade structure, in fact, there's tons of life around. >>> top house and senate democrats say acting u.s. attorney general matt whitaker must recuse himself from oversight of robert mueller's russia investigation. senate minority leader chuck schumer telling cnn that democrats want action now. >> i am sending a letter, along with leader pelosi and some other democrats who are ranking members of their committees in both houses, to the chief ethics officer of the justice departmen

my name is phoebe vander horst and i was one of the 39 people that sat through meetings for a year. since everything has been said so if sufficiently and succinctly, i am just going to add my little comment to this. san francisco does not need a new jail. we do not need one. we need to invest in cooperative housing and neighborhood based services and support transformative justice practices instead of imprisonment. we do not need more police and we do not need a new jail. the population of the jail on this state as 85% african-american. african-americans his are three% of the city's population. we need to address the institutional racism in san francisco. that sheriff is threatening to send prisoners to alameda county and santa rita as an alternative but that is blackmail. we have the money for the housing. we have money for the alternative. the fact that the police are not arresting white and asian techies, who are the rising population of the city, building a new jail says that san francisco is locking up people of color rather than providing services like -- that offset property.

it turns out his mama told him to. [ laughter ] this is a letter from his mother, phoebe burns saying hoorah and vote for suffrage, and he has this letter in his pocket and he said, i really think a good boy does what his mama tells him to do, and as a mother of three sons i say write it on a pillow, write? remember it. so this is how arbitrary it ended up being mrama burns getting through to harry at the last second and so he was able to serve the final star on her flag. they unfirmed it at national women's party headquarters and as of august 1920, women across america were -- i hate to say they gave us the vote because we had it all along. they finally recognized that we had the right to vote as american women and that is the story.
