Im sumi so much kind of good to have you with us botswanas high court has overturned a colonial era law criminalizing gay sex now the ruling makes the country a pioneer in Subsaharan Africa where most countries still enforce laws against homosexuality the Botswana Court said the law should not gregg to regulate private acts between consenting adults and that penalizing people for who they are is disrespectful it unanimously rejected sections of the people. Code that made same sex relations illegal the last have previously carried a sentence of up to 7 years in prison and the ruling comes less than a month after Kenyas High Court upheld a similar sections of its penal code. Lets get the very latest on the story will speak to a cat and yanick. Shes a botswana born trends artist and activist and she joins us with more on the story now kat we just saw images of you in the courtroom celebrating give us a sense of what this movie moment means to you. Hi sue me and you know i think the wonderful thing about this ruling is that its been in the works for a very long time and we see that we had the hearing in march and for the ruling to be handed over what had been down so fast is a sign that it wasnt a thing of a rush to judgment but in fact it had been deeply considered so to us in a couple run into us a possible donna and she votes on it and asked for it really is a marker of a movement which we have been expecting to happen albeit with some apprehension as to what could possibly happen we are also in an Election Year this year so that also adds to the Political Climate what we were hoping wouldnt stand and change peoples minds and the judiciary has proven again that they will stand for human rights in words on a regardless of what is potentially a political issue at hand so youre saying this has been a Long Time Coming for the community there so how much social acceptance is there in society in botswana for l g b t rights. You know there is there are few issues around the idea of social acceptance simply because when you look at the kind as you said in the headline it is a colonial era law and so as a result there are some things that are still part of the colonial hangover which influenced Socio Cultural interpretations or perceptions of l. G. B. T. Q. Class people in the country some of which are still held within the west as well where weve seen progressive legislation being put forward so what we have recognized is as much as we have tried to advocate and educate at the same time weve also had to make sure that we didnt stall the ad. You can see just so that we can see the whole community is with that so one of the things that the judges said in their ruling was that. We cannot wait until we have a blanket acceptance from the community we can actually get this going now and essentially use this to catapult more advocacy work that will be done and continue to be done with the community as we go forward cant we do have to say that last month there was a ruling in kenya upholding a law banning gay sex so this ruling from botswana today how much of a symbol is that for decriminalizing homosexuality across Subsaharan Africa. We have similar judicial systems where we dont know so you have similar judicial structures and today i made a concerted effort of wearing a syesha to stand in solidarity with our fellow activists and Community Within the diaspora but also i mean with across the continent but also in kenya and what we have said today is that as much as we hope that what has happened and what on earth can shine a light for other the goal systems across the continent especially in kenya who managed to get their hearing just before us that they got a ruling before us and not in their favor we will continue to stand alongside them and whatever we do from our experience with our expertise and lend it to wards of their advocacy we will do with them because essentially there is no such thing as an all struggle serve elated to me cannot just celebrate on our own we want global decriminalization and were so happy that its and has managed to add itself into those countries that no longer criminalize same sex Sexual Activity and as you say huge bust ok catcalling yannick a simple i will have to leave it there thank you so much for joining us from botswana. Thank you so much.

Now to the future of work now Technology Automation and globalization have already affected how most of us work disrupting existing patterns for both better and worse now these shifts are being compared to the Industrial Revolution theyre also the focus of the International Labor organization or ilo conference this week marking the organizations 100th birthday now the main topics at this conference include a future without child labor using technology to guarantee decent work and also ending a modern slavery which the ilo says affects some 25000000 people globally well several International Leaders are scheduled to address the ilo conference in geneva germanys chancellor Angela Merkel stressed the need to balance the opportunities and risks of Digital Change then she took aim at the worlds industrialized countries. Why if north. Theres no doubt that the worlds leading industrialized nations have especially benefited from globalization and the International Division of labor will die if didnt do that is why these countries have a responsibility to ensure foul working conditions to do not take away at home where there is still a lot to do. But also wherever Global Delivery and supply chains are located. And vets of full scale. Well lets take a look at the situation in just one country about many that are rapidly industrializing cambodia produces many of the clothes that people buy in the developed world but the drive to make goods at the lowest possible price can mean harsh exploitation. These women are singing about peace work starvation wages and fainting from exhaustion theyre textile workers at a labor union event even though in recent years the minimum wage has increased to about 160. 00 euros per month thats barely enough to live on in cambodia what happened somebody is in labor Protection Laws are often not enforced 2 hours overtime is officially allowed but 4 hours is practically standard most women workers only have temporary work contracts they constantly worry about losing their job or the Companies Keep them powerless. Facemasks and other protective gear are now standard in nearly half of companies here some clothing brands pay external consultants to inform women of their rights but higher wages and more social benefits put textile companies under pressure. The major brands buying agency compare prices worldwide by world contracts of the countries that charge the lowest price thats how it uses i cannot say if thats right or wrong International Labor organization saying that despite the progress thats been made come podia is still one of the 10 worst countries in the world for workers. Now many businesses in hong kong have vowed to shut down on wednesday in a show of solidarity with the movement protesting against a controversial bill seeking to allow extraditions to China Hong Kong was rocked by a huge rally on sunday with vast crowds calling on the city leadership to scrap the legislation opponents fear the proposed law could undermine hong kongs autonomy from Mainland China activism groups have called for more protests and strikes tomorrow when the bill is expected to be approved by the citys legislative council. Terry chan is our reporter from hong kong and she served with us in our studio to tell us more about this story cherry thanks for joining us put this into context for us were seeing huge numbers of people take to the streets and businesses in hong kong also supporting them how significant is this what are we looking at here so as you see more protests planned for tomorrow and actually people in different sectors they said they will go on strike tomorrow like teachers students and shops and restaurants they say they will close for one day and economics but stability in hong kong is very important and people would always try to avoid any disturbance to economy as possible but then this time they all said this is the most important thing that they have to do and they would do it at all costs to stop the law all right so it sounds like theres a lot of momentum behind this movement but will it actually make a difference in stopping this law from going forth yeah actually this is a question that many people are trying not to us this time because in 2014 there was a huge protests and after 75 days of demonstrations nothing concrete really came out and by then many people were saying that maybe this is not worth it to spend so much time and money for something thats not going to change anything but then this time people are saying that they just want to do what they think is right regardless of the outcome so regardless of the outcome they want to show their presence and make sure that their voices are heard give us an idea of why people are out on the streets why are people so defiant you know about this. What is it that they really fear happening here and so people really have trust in Chinese Government and if this law is passed many people are saying their china would use this as a tool to pursue political opponents and. Because of their fist case of kidnappings and actions they really fear there will be abused and also. Sorry so they fear the law will be abuse only for us yes money system and they have fear that they would lose the freedom of speech they enjoying and compared to other cities in China Hong Kong enjoy relatively high freedom of speech so this law will mean that its a blow to the freedom that people in hong kong enjoy and what can we expect if were going to see more protests tomorrow to see another huge crowd take to the streets. So for the thousands of people have already agreed that they will go on these protests and and people who cannot attend the process they said they will go on strike and so i think this is a very strong reaction that were seeing here all right a reporter to reach and with us here in the studio thanks so much for your insight. Now u. S. President donald trump has again threatened mexico with tariffs on imports if its cooperation on border issues fails the 2 countries agreed on a deal on friday mexico is committing to do more to stop migrants from crossing its southern border with quite a mala meanwhile in the u.

A piece of wall has been built to control the influx of migrants but its far from complete. This is where the wall suddenly ends and you can easily walk from mexican into american soil and this is just a very good example why militias think that they are needed to help secure the border critics however say that this should only be in the hands of the Border Patrol. Or they come here part we got to ok here at nightfall the guardian patriots into action a group of migrants are just entering american soil and. We got more crossing after stopping the group the militia called Border Patrol. Try to escape through the rio grande.

Back in the day you had to pay for your education you had to take yet speak english get to know the president you know yeah its hard but thats the legal way to do it when they just do it legal this way it cost the taxpayer money more. But its not just the migrants who might be breaking the law the militia has been accused of taking people into custody of gunpoint and illegal act if its against their will. Its.

Number got to seal the Border Network for human rights condemns the guardian patriots presence of the border saying they need loosely inside fear for no real reason its just children mothers. Grandmothers they are just thorn in themselves to Border Patrol because theyre looking for help so in that context why do we need to be in the end. What do we need a militia. But the guardian patriots have no doubt they are needed as long as president trumps wall remains unfinished. Until then they say they will continue to watch over the border.

Argentina meanwhile made history after winning their 1st ever point in a goal us draw with japan the south americans were considered underdogs against the 2011 champions but they kept their opponents to shots from long range throughout the game japans best chance fell to. On the rebound but she missed the chance and argentina held on to it and they are 6 match losing streak at the world cup. Some of the favorites at the womens world cup have started some of stumbled up the 1st 3 days but day 4 of the tournament gives fans a 1st look at the most dominant force over the last 2 decades the team from the u. S. The americans are defending champions and acutely aware that 2019 could be their toughest test yet. The record world champions usa title defense this summer in france might prove more difficult than ever before. I think its going to be a remarkable world cup i think the the level of competition for years on from the last one has exponentially increased the different teams now rising and its going to be a very open world cup and were excited to go out there and attack it. But a challenge doesnt daunt the country with nearly half the worlds total registered female youth players and things to americas solid infrastructure of club and college of a football coach joe ellis has had a vast pool of players through crude from over the past 4 years her france bound squad has a balanced mix of experience veterans and young talents. Like 21 year old super sub mallory pugh. She for one College Football to play professionally and alongside her role models i was talking to alex like a week ago and she was like whatever role that youre like given just like play play its the best that you can and thats super important because like we need all 23 players to try and win the world cup for the team star alex morgan itll be her 3rd time playing on the worlds biggest stage in 2015 she was coming off an injury but this year shes expected to perform at her very. Were just trying to take it one game at a time when were not focusing on the fact that were looking to defend anything were definitely looking to come out with a win but in no way i mean is that about a repeat or anything like that but repeated they might well attended and decisive wins in their preparation games indicate that the usa might continue dominating womens soccer well into the future yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah one woman whos highly skilled with the ball is not playing in the womens world cup thats because melody dont shape is a freestyler and the only woman to have won all 3 major titles in the freestyle football world an injury put an end to dont chase ambitions as a team player but it didnt end her fascination with the beautiful game. Coordination full control and balance it seems middleby from paris as if shes one of the worlds best free stylus hitters i like freestyle because its a very free sport without rules above all its not a mix of football basketball and done. A neat injury put an end to her professional soccer career over 10 years ago middleby stayed on the ball transitioning smoothly to free style. Along with speed and Energy Technique is paramount and she quickly even. Plex tricks to explain my favorite tricks called use of the stall. It goes like this you balance the ball on the sole of one foot with the other foot to one side the. Middle of the joint the Street Style Society s 3 in 2010 as it only female member but shes more than a match for the team mates for years she trained 4 to 5 hours a day. Class native me right from the start when i was one or 2 years old my mother gave me some dulls and i threw them in the trash but when she gave me a bowl i was really happening. Footballs always been a part of my life. Reality is booked for events the world over she takes part regularly in International Tournaments shes won the freestyle World Championship title 4 times like here in 2016 in london. Better for diesel not been free styling for 10 years now ive been to around 50 countries and met lots of well known football is there. Recently i got to know naima and i met christiane and were now doing japan. Middleby has also become a social media success with her tricks with the bold videos like this one of a handstand have been seen around the world so the why do you feel it wasnt that hard for me to establish myself in the sport since ive been playing for my early years. And right from the start i played with boys. The moment she started with the ball shes the center of attention as a woman whos most of the ball she raises eyebrows. To this is i think its great that women can play at this level and deliver a performance like that i see this skill with the ball as a not. Good as the best one but when its unusual for a woman to handle the ball into freestyle say well normally you only see boys doing that. In the States Womens football is getting more and more attention. To. How much to serve your claim i think its good that womens football keeps on developing and of course ill be watching the womens World Championships this time theyre being held in france she knew so forced.
