And from my point of view it was it was right at the time to give away the black boxes to hold and because from the little beginning it was clear that the black boxes will be used against russia asked if you would change his mind if the evidence presented in the dutch court is convincing he said there is very little chance of that a recent poll shows that only 10 percent of russians believe that russia was responsible for the downing of im age 70 but thats 5 times higher than what it was 6 years ago but many say that with francis of the russian government will change its position a very slim because the polls always maintain that it was never involved in the war in Eastern Ukraine in the 1st place step process aljazeera moscow. Or bring you some news from libya now where one civilian has been killed 3 more in a hospital in the capital tripoli after a rocket hit a house close to the International Airport the u. N. Recognized government is blaming forces loyal to warlord 25. 00 to have been trying to capture the capital for almost a year the tea grapples as the only operational airport in tripoli now a rally to mark International Womens day care guest on this time violent often lost men attacked a protest as demonstrators have gathered in the main square the capital bishkek when men Wearing Masks barged into the gathering and started tearing banas apart but hes detained around 60 people including dozens of female activists they say womens rights are deteriorating in the fullness of the republic and as a resurgence of right wing ideology and then thousands of women have defied the threat of violence to take to the streets of pakistan a large group of ultra conservative men pelted the campaign is with stones shoes and sticks as they try to march in the Capital Islamabad Police had to forcibly prevent the counter protesters from reaching the women the demonstrators are demanding greater reproductive rights and an end to socalled honor killings at least a 1000 women a killed each year in pakistan for that perceived immoral behavior. Well from one as iris to mexico women across latin americas biggest cities are taking to the streets to mark International Womens day in chile thousands have been marching through the capital in the wake of broader demonstrations of a social inequality they are demanding justice for those women hurt during the protest movement which began last year. For human rights says more than 430. 00 women were injured over 3 months and a large launch is also taking place in mexico out of a nationwide women strike on monday protest as a focusing on the Alarming Number of women in the country which has more than doubled over the course of the past 5 years money rappel is in mexico city monies are you seeing from the pitches that inequality gender inequality and violence is truly a Global Challenge tell us about the specific problems and hardships women that are in mexico face. But certainly so maryam and these demonstrations are taking place all over latin america amidst a larger broader economic unrest thats taking place as the haunted it continues to convulse of the state of mexico in the case of mexico it is as you mentioned gender based violence women here are calling on the government to do more women here are upset despite this very festive atmosphere you could hear people people cheering people chanting people singing there are also some of the more radical factions of the of this feminist movement. Whose tactics have been criticized by many but what we hear from them is that theyve tried to pick up protest peacefully theyve tried speaking to the government and their voices havent been heard so its time to smash windows its time to of to to paid walls thats what theyre saying read what the what the writing on the wall is weak they dont want any more femicide they dont they want to end to gender based violence and according to the governments own statistics and their own polling 66 percent of women who were polled over the age of 15 say that theyve experienced some sort. Of emotional or physical abuse 41 percent of women polled say that theyve experienced some form of Sexual Assault this is the governments own numbers and with the levels of impunity that mexico continues to suffer its believe that those numbers are actually much higher so while this is very jovial out this fear theres a lot of chanting a lot of see theres also a lot of anger and that anger stems from the fact that some 10 women are killed every day in mexico area and it doesnt end today International Womens day because the ogun i says that are planning a strike nationwide from monday tell us more about what we can expect tomorrow that. Absolutely and these marches by the way this war say is not without precedent there are tens of thousands of women that are out on the streets of mexico city down the main avenue of mexico city but its not without precedent this is part of the larger feminist movement that has been building up in mexico for the last several months as you mentioned theres been an alarming increase in femicide and violence against women in the country so this is in many ways just a precursor to other events that are going to be taking place on monday there was an on the president a National Strike with thousands if not over a 1000000 women that could potentially participate in a day without women and National Strike where women have vowed to not go to work on monday so again this is part of a much Larger Movement that continues thank you very much from mexico city where their son lee is a a lively and passionate crowds an iraq plan thank you.
