Suppression of freedom of expression. The fate of a small 1106 where kilometer corner of china was determined by opium. And it was here in the 19th century that the british manufactured the drug and sold it to china. The chinese emperor tried to stop the opium trade but the british increased pressure attacked china and occupied hong kong. In the years that followed treaties were signed the grant of the british 99 years of rule over hong kong. During those years it grew into a financial metropolis in 1907 the leasing agreement expired and the british handed hong kong over china agreed that the socalled Administrative Region was to remain autonomous for 50 years but then beijing began to intervene politically and more and more members of the prodemocracy Movement Began taking to the streets. In 2019. The situation escalated and more than a 1000000 hong kong residents took part in protests originally the demonstrations were against a proposed extradition law and then turned into opposition to the influence of Chinas Communist Party but now a new National Security law has silenced the demonstrators. A lot has changed in hong kong you can see it on the streets it used to be that many cant fees in restaurants exhibited post it notes with prodemocracy sayings written on them now the notes are all blank its the same for a cafe owner dixon the blank poster is the new form of protest written political statements are now too risky. The police could put the National Security law into effect. Just being accused could lead to arrest and imprisonment. Demonstrators holding up blank signs overnight political opinions have become dangerous in hong kong. As soon as the new National Security law was instituted the 1st arrest came a young man with a flag demanding hong kongs independence. Just in the last few weeks 10 people were arrested under the new law no one knows which political slogans are still about. Who should be left 50 although eventually to leave people guessing is that they will be. Who and less willing. To speak out of them and that maybe. Well see. Public libraries and School Libraries are now being forced to remove books that arent following the party line. Books by democracy activists have already vanished. Most teachers are just heartened but resistance could cost them their job. And many in hong kong wont express their criticisms in public. We students the freedom of speech freedom of press or. Freedom of publication also. Prohibits or controlled by the gulf among we are free to its cultural worth ruining your come back to a home call. To strengthen your sons 3. The Younger Generation has been especially involved in the prodemocracy movement now schools are being targeted by beijing so called security law. Even statements that teachers make in private are being monitored. They received the compression on teachers and their protocol pinions or and social performance the ones cost their school tour for us to kerrys or you from okeefe warning to teachers and all of these we see thats. Your silk routes through friends from before the atmosphere at schools has changed according to these students cake and k. F. C. They use the nicknames because they dont want to be recognized a month ago cakes music class chose the song glory to hong kong for a class project the song had become a him in the protest movement in the past year and a viral hit. Students in schools and universities developed it made a video and then spread it on social media it was often sung at prodemocracy demonstrations. But cakes music teachers. Paid a high price for making the song the subject of the school exam she was fired. Yeah all told wired im one of the students the president of the song and music class so i think we are now i feel guilty. Youre going to be so ill call you the teacher was fired because of that song. I never thought i would have such terrible consequences what a whole the thing that angers cake in k. F. C. The most the reason given for firing the teacher was that teachers shouldnt influence their students but petri out exams praising Chinas Communist Party are allowed in the school. So i think. The song without the communist party there would be no new china is not defined as a political song. Why should glory to hong kong be considered a political song. Cake and k. F. C. Want to continue their protest the 14 and 16 year olds cant accept how the new law has already changed their lives of Free Hong Kong no longer exists in the same streets where a 1000000 people march to defend their rights in security and fear are now the new normal. Fortunately in other parts of the world people can make their voices heard on the street. All around the globe millions are demonstrating against racism. The dehumanization of people with dark skin has occurred since time immemorial it was even used as a justification for slavery for some its hard to believe that these prejudices are still so entrenched in peoples minds how can we get rid of them. I cant breathe the last words of george floyd his death sparked protests around the world including in germany. I live and experiencing racism makes you feel powerless even the term race is a historical relic discredited as a biological concept shots under us from detroit to. Being black in germany means having to constantly justify your humanity on every level of vatican. Last year there was a 10 percent increase in racist incidents in germany 1176. 00 in total so i design for a country like germany which is forever boasting about its democratic credentials not good enough. Examples of every day racism being asked where do you come from being addressed in english all the time not being recognized as a citizen of germany being stared at a steady hum of hostility that never goes away thats hard to pinpoint. Racism in germany is very subtle. Didnt defect of microaggression is very underestimation just. Every time a black person or a person of color leaves their Home Experience hundreds of incidents of racism had something really. Big. Does the musts symptoms of a deeply rooted problem by and large racist attitudes in germany are attributed to individuals a matter of personal prejudices but in fact there is clear evidence of Structural Racism across society. It starts with ignorant. Of the existence for decades of black germans and their kind tyo not seen as belonging to the population. At this because the calls that harsh of germanys Structural Racism is the way were made invisible to us. Philosophers haydel and cant shape the age of enlightenment but to them human rights white rights in the 1900 century South West Africa was colonized by the german empire its people subjugated. Their race based nuremberg laws designed to protect german blood were introduced in 1935 according to the right citizenship law a citizen was only someone descended from germans a becomes as it will trash that must be tortured as i can imagine that germans are tired of having to keep addressing their to street but theres no way around it and restore your own deep there has to be a willingness to dig deep into this very bloody marcie passage just after the 2nd world war many African American g. I. s remained in germany and started family it was an opportunity for germany to become a more Diverse Society but these children were often ostracized and many women were forced to give their children up for overseas adoption west germany wasnt ready to become less white while communist east germany flew in contract workers from socialist african countries such as mozambique only to eventually shun them back many chapters in its history explain why black people dont feel at home in germany mainstream culture is white culture and most of the population is unaware of its White Privilege these men who didnt. Call this state of being happy a lot of the middle Class Society and people on the left have understood that racism is bad but they see it as a. Right wing problem is they think they themselves are anti racist and thats all that can be expected. There is now fresh debate about how gemini reflects on its racist. But again this tackles the symptoms not the root cause is simply expunging the word race from japanese basic law one to eradicate racism and white people need to realize its not just a problem for black people and me expressing sympathy is nowhere near enough. Thats with counseling its vital that criticism of racism is built into the Education System more to pick up information multipliers education is racism and discrimination are issues that need to be part of their training communions critical. We need control mechanisms for institutions independent control mechanisms for the police for schools sure this isnt because some criticism is a problem for society as a whole no one can ignore us. All persons shall be equal before the law declares article 3 of the german basic law its a promise that germany needs to deliver on once and for all. They need firewood to cook fields to harvest food and a place to live. In india 1300000 people need every bit of space they can get. In the last 20 years 18000 square kilometers of forest have been cleared to accommodate the expansion of cities and settlements but the habitats of many animals have been destroyed in the process in the southern indian state of karnataka that has resulted in human wildlife conflict some part. With deadly results. To my lap as morning and hasnt gotten off to a very good start the coffee farmer is assessing the damage caused by his unwelcome visitors the elephants. Its not the 1st time the pesky package terms of cause damage to his plantation. Luckily only the door was broken down today. Over the years the animals have ruined 7 hectors of rice fields as well as many coffee plants and palm trees. Have a huge impact on our livelihood leading our daily life has become very difficult. Damage whatever we can get a lot more of that if. The latest encounter however was different a message he received in time helped him avert a major disaster on his plantation. A week ago i got an alert message saying there is an elephant in the stadia one of my laborers was in the paddy field he did not have a phone so i called someone else who alerted him they live and was right there he screamed and the liberal was able to escape if not for this morning he would have been attacked and i would get him back to my. House one district where to do my lap lives has some of the largest populations of wild asian elephants in india live mostly in the plantations monocultures and paddy fields around the towns conflict with humans began to get serious around the 1970 s.

Wild elephants have wandered into the villages up by lawyer and roman are hard. Villagers please be vigilant please be vigilant.

A Conservation Organization that has been working in the area since 2015 to develop Technology Led solutions to alert locals of elephants present as a gentle way of ensuring no lives are lost on either side. In this area that have been about 39 human thats in the last 10 years.

The state departments record Response Team supports n. C. S. Efforts. This group of 48 people is mostly locals who have been trained by the Forest Department to physically track the elephant herds so that there was constant and updated information about their locations. The integrated Communication System has brought about a broader change to the relationship people an elephant shared there. I would say the most remarkable change that i would see. They were. Interacting with. I think its. Because they have. System has helped reduce conflict in district but as more forest land is set aside for development the future of human existence remains fragile. Same from a distance its breathtaking blue planet. Would have. An abundance of water only one percent of it is suitable for human consumption.
