I have to. Decide to hold the meeting but want to have their friend join in. The governments announcement to delay the bill is a 1st victory for them but theyre not satisfied the government has left the option open to bring it back at a later time so this sunday protests will take place as planned. The friends have known each other via social media platforms they remind many of the Umbrella Movement that blocked hong kong for weeks in 2014 but failed to achieve its goal the extradition bill has revived hong kongs opposition a new generation is taking to the streets they have no organizations and no leadership they coordinate in chat groups.

Behind the computer and fight. To lead. His friends volatile continue until the extradition plans are ultimately scrapped. The last rebel stronghold in syria has been surrounded and bombarded by assads forces for months many Refugee Families there are fighting just to survive the few intact ospital are often their sole source of help. So obama is very nervous as he waits for the big news his wife is giving birth and this clinic men are not allowed to enter the pediatric ward its one of the few places pregnant women in northern italy can go. After 10 hours of waiting the moment has finally arrived so boss wife has given birth to a boy mahmoud. The proud father can hardly believe his luck he sends the 1st snapshot of the newborn to all his friends and relatives. We came here to Northern Syria say my wife could safely deliver her child ill stay here until tomorrow then well bring our baby to our hut. But a bleak existence with no prospects awaits the family there the camp in italy offers refuge to 800000 people they come from across syria fleeing assads bombs now theres dratted here and the countrys last rebel held enclave they have a vague hope for some security. There practically no jobs theres not enough food water or medicine. Saddam and his loved ones have already lived in the camp for 2 years 4 people in a simple room with tarps theres no protection from the heat his daughters suffers from bronchitis but no one can help here they prefer to go back home to hama but thats simply impossible. I dont know we cant go back because theres permanent fighting a bombing and shooting and whenever we tried to return there were grenade attacks and barrel bombs. And the families from across italy hope to get a little help in the ellicott clinic one of the few medical centers that has not been destroyed by bombing. 126 children are treated here every day but the clinic has long been unable to treat all of them it lacks doctors and medicine newborns in particular are quickly released and do not receive the protection and the care they urgently need. One fortunately the newborns often live in tents and barracks instead of houses and their parents often bring them back to the clinic in very Poor Condition after just a couple of days because their living situation is so bad. I think thats a bad son mahmoud could also share his mother is still weak herself after giving birth the newborn is extremely vulnerable an uncertain future awaits him in syrias last rebel stronghold.

Despite some suppliers pushing for further discounts marias pottery businesses posting double digit growth she employs 5 workers and has received funding from a private investor. From generation to generation women have shown their love to the world the people and their homes and soviet ideology meant that women were expected to work but in upper management the men often still call the shots. But studies now suggest that 50 percent of russians believe that men should earn money and women should take care of the family. At this years and Petersburg InternationalEconomic Forum the reality being presented did not conform with those outer tubes. There are more women than men in positions in russia than anywhere else in the world. 41 percent of management positions its a left over from soviet times. But when it comes to pay equality the country still has a long way to go women in russia earn 30 percent less than men on average and many of the peak positions in politics continue to be held by men in russia successful business women are more common in small and Medium Sized Enterprises than in larger conglomerates.
