Say ill act like a man throughout my career ive heard again and again you act like a man and youre too dominant cant you be more humble women have to realize that that can hold them back as well as im a doctor who suffered at all. Diversity also means people of different abilities working alongside each other however disability can make finding a job much harder for example just one in 4 blind people in germany is employed claudia larche our campaign visited him have been speaking to 3 women making a success of themselves in the world of work and one of them to write to the outer reaches of his comfort zone. Let me know when it starts to hurt can you still speak. And breathes. Period i have retinitis pigmentosa its a genetic disorder and causes tunnel vision my eyesight was quite good until i was 30 or 35 i could still ride my bike. Because even when on the far. Right most of my patients dont even know when i tell them im legally blind they say they dont believe me. That was quick. One can verify it is if you can cover up a lot you become a champion in covering it up of course i have trained my coworkers to never put things in the wrong place. I get so mad if i have to spend hours hunting for something if i reach for it and its not where its meant to be and i have to start looking for it. My parents always supported me they never said you wont be able to do that. But lynn is very noisy very crowded and people just leech other a lot its a challenge. I see light and dark and contours here in this hall i can make out the windows and the round lamps that look like bright patches. So i can orient myself quite well. I locate the steps with my stick. I know the courthouse building very well with all its corridors and corners. Sighted people often get lost here and cant find their way out without help. But when i was 11 i once went to a Lawyers Office was amazing so it was clear that i would study law. The figure of justice is always depicted with a blindfold in my case given that i cant see i dont judge people by their exterior because a cat that also means i dont get distracted and remain focused on what people tell me. But thats isnt mean im entirely free of preconceptions theyre just a bit different blind people might not like the sound of someones voice or the way they shake your hand. Im not a living light detector but i am pretty sensitive to what people are telling me whether its true or whether theyre lying. On the floor if you cant imagine a blind person can climb a flight of stands you wont believe that visually impaired person can hold their own in the workplace. Ive been blind since birth but when i say im on my way to work people ask if im going to a workshop for the blind they should be asking where do you work like that just goes to show how many preconceptions there still are. In the Digital World technology is a blessing and a curse at the same time there are some websites we can use easily but far too many are not accessible. Coming. If you dont have the apple tell me. Its just like the bus is just arriving will you know what thats done but that cant be recognized by the app. It says the next one is delayed coming in 10 minutes it doesnt show the one thats just come. On. Live in town because theres good public transport that lets me get around. That if self driving cars ever become available and i can afford one i might consider moving to the country. Because you are legally often seen country. Long view of diversity is that cultural and ethnic background should play no role in our ability to be employed however your race can still be a boon or a burden on the job market something my colleague to ponder chin barely has been finding out for himself aaron but it. Heres the information a german employer would get about me. Im a journalist the dortch of ella in berlin and im black and african in case youre wondering. After 12 years in germany im still surprised that data on ethnic origin and race isnt something german employers normally record about race and ethnicity can still play a role in whether you get hired. A foreign sounding name can already be a barrier and german employers typically expect a photo along with a job application so what you look like and your perceived race or ethnicity influences your chances of getting a job. German companies recognize that theres a problem with just one of the doing to reduce bias in recruitment. One of the countrys largest employers says its made diversity part of its core strategy. Parader georgia baan employs more than 200000 people across germany the companys diversity management says they only system helps them to be more objective. But what happens when humans and not computers are involved. Nist of all. Where to Start Testing and new measures that will run during our diversity week. Test it will be a kind of blind audition process blind auditions come on 1st will remove all personal data from the job application this is its. For the blind auditions the recruiters will sit in one Video Conference room thats the candidates will sit in a different Conference Room or the recruiters will only be able to hear the candidates not see them. But the candidates will be able to see the recruiters. Zied the always fair and oh well thats a bit like the voice. Yes. But you can still tell a lot from a voice and an accent several major german corporations have adopted diverse we try to do when we sense here and that has helped them to hire people from different nationalities in different cultural backgrounds but race and ethnicity remain a major problem when it comes to workplaces from a nation. A survey by germanys Antidiscrimination Agency shows that one in 3 people who reported Workplace Discrimination said it was because of their ethnicity or race the berlin based ngo citizens for europe says more needs to be done to understand how race and ethnic origin affect people in the labor market here the u. K. Is a step ahead 2 years ago the British Government published its 1st race disparity audit the report revealed significant pay differences among various ethnic and racial groups and be a White British p. S. According to official u. K. Statistics in 2018 month nordic groups current nearly 22 percent less on average than their white peers in london by the countrys ethnicity pick up as widest. Thats why calls to require companies to report Ethnicity Pay gaps are growing louder. We need. To think that. They could use. To do. All right well thank you very much things are moving far too slowly when it comes to take personal discrimination based on ethnicity or race is still very much a reality in the u. K. Germany and elsewhere and it also affects us in the workplace. Ive learned a lot while working on this report but im not convinced employers are doing enough to prevent discrimination based on the knesset and race. Not enough is another way of saying too little isnt it so best is something that as were seeing can also madly benefits us all and will keep reminding companies of fat fact this report brings to an end this edition of mate business magazine its been great to have you with us until next time take. The food. Food. Food. Food. Food. Coming. Into the conflict zone is tim sebastian.

Every 2 seconds a person is forced to flee their home nearly 71000000 people have been forcibly displaced the consequences from the disastrous were talking metry series displaced depicts traumatic humanitarian crises around the world you know. What a good thing we dont get i didnt go to university to kill people. Or to have my boss come to me and tell me to kill someone and he got mad if i dont theyll kill me. He could feel for their lives and their future so they seek refuge abroad but what will become of ours kristie behind its it up a little my husband went to peru because of the crisis that the wanted that if he hadnt gone there we would have died of hunger a lot of them. Displayed starts october 16th to. Play. This is it over your news a lot about from britain that outrage and disgust across the United States protests of break out after prosecutors are bringing new. Charges against police for the killing of prey on a tailor the 26 year olds Health Worker was shot dead by police during a raid on her home also coming up. The European Union that proposes a Major Overhaul of its migration policy its an effort to share responsibility for the people arriving on the shores is likely to spark a heated debate. And play richardson welcome to the show we begin in the United States where protesters are demanding justice for Briana Taylor who was shot dead by police in march prosecutors have now charged one officer but only with endangering her neighbors not with murder protests broke out across the country after the charges were announced including in taylors hometown of louisville kentucky fronting the mayor says to clear a curfew for the next 3 nights taylor was shot dead when Police Arrived at her apartment on a socalled no knock warrant or killing was one of several deaths of black people at the hands of police that set off months of antiracism protests in the United States. For more thats go to our Washington Bureau chief in as paul in as a tell us more about this decision why was no officer charged with murder or manslaughter. Well the prosecutors said that the 2 offer says who fired their weapons at the black woman and killed her actually with 6 shots i think that is important to remember that they were justified in using force to protect themselves and only officer brende is facing some charges but theyre actually not related to mrs taylor steph however but for shooting into taylors neighbors homes thats when mentation of the prosecutors went after the announcement of the charges we saw anger and sadness on the streets of louisville lets take a lesson it feels like today and i think its a fact good like lives do not matter. To our elected officials and kentucky but apparently in this country this is. An incredibly traumatic difficult time for the community you know what other reactions have we seen from taylors family and supporters well you know the mother and her lawyers had always insisted that nothing short of murder of drugs was for all 3 offices would be enough and the steam on kind of was taken up by thousands of protesters across the whole country so there is a lot of anger in the air and this comes at a time just a little bit more than 40 days ahead of the election when this country is shaken anyhow so we have to assume that we will face really a lot of riots not only in louisville itself but all across the country tonight in the days to come when youre right that the name of Briana Taylor has become a rallying call for protesters demanding Racial Justice in the United States but havent there been any concrete changes since her death. Well you know Police Reform is a topic which is important since many many years and as you said it was the killing i think of george floyd can say the taylor case really became the touchstone for a nation wide protests and this kind of big her name kind of became the crayolas for black lives matter as movements and even Michelle Obama or the v. P. Candidate come along harrahs talked about her during the democratic conventions but no i think its fair to say nothing really has happened nothing has gotten better i mean a lot of talks and even the president strums says. We need some police changes or some structural changes but as we just heard this gentleman talking the feeling in the African American community is that nothing has changed for the better i write in as well in washington d. C. Thank you. Well lets take a look now at some other stories making news around the world u. S. President donald trump has refused to commit to a key is for transfer of power if he loses novembers president ial election when asked at a press conference he said quote well have to see what happens trump has already tried to cast a doubt on the legitimacy of the election if he loses such as by claiming postal voting is susceptible to voter fraud. He said bell others have fired Water Cannons and tear gas and arrested more than 150 people after protests in minsk following president alexander who goes unannounced inauguration. Assumed his 6th consecutive term even though protesters and the opposition say the president ial election last month was raped. The. Russian Opposition Leader alexina vonnie has been discharged from the hospital in berlin where he was being treated for poisoning with a nerve agent the kremlin a critic says he still faces a long a rehabilitation process of on he was airlifted to germany last month after becoming sick during a visit to siberia. France has again reported more than 13000 new coven 1000 infections in the space of 24 hours the french government is announcing sweeping new measures to stop the spike is the popular tourist destinations of brittany and normandy have been added to a list of high risk coronavirus zones by germany. New Coronavirus Infections are also on the rise and neighboring spain the capital madrid has become the epicenter of the outbreak there authorities have introduced a new restrictions to try and contain the spread of many residents arent happy they say the new measures unfairly target the poor. Madrid is now a city divided by invisible borders under does Bridge Police are checking cars driving. In and out of vijay because the district is in lockdown because of the high number of current virus infections residents can only leave to go to work school or to doctors this resident says she cant make sense of the measures. Its unfair nobody knows exactly who can go in or out or what is still allowed. By yet because is a poor neighborhood where many live in overcrowded conditions thats resulted in one of the highest infection rates in the city 6 times higher than more prosperous districts in the north many residents in by yet because have to travel to madrid to return neighborhoods for work often as cleaners or waiters many workers say the near rules are and reasonable. Effort in every way its shameful so i have to take the metro to go to work i could infect myself or others whats the point of these measures. Its completely unjust other areas have also many cases only a lockdown in the whole of madrid would make sense. Many in the south of madrid feel discriminated against and neglected over the past years by yes Us Health Centers suffered several cuts to its budget a sign on the door worries that the clinic is down 5 doctors a fatal lack of staff in the midst of a pandemic. We are without doctors nurses and money pretty much everything we are exhausted. The class conflict has also reached madrid opera house. On sunday it hosted aaron dition a very dismasted ball while the cheaper through tears were crammed. Down below in the most expensive sitting areas there was plenty of space a 1st social distancing. Protests in the upper tiers were so persistent that the performance had to be stopped. As targeted lockdowns divide to city the coronavirus is also beginning to split madrid society while the European Commission has unveiled a new plan for its migration it asylum policy it proposes that you Member States which dont want to accept more vibrance like hungary and poland will instead it take charge of other responsibilities like to porting rejected Asylum Seekers i ration is one of the most politically sensitive issues in the walk and the proposal comes as crowded camps increase or in the spotlight for their miserable conditions a camp on the greek island of sommeliers fit for 500 people it houses 5000 it was meant to be a transit point but a backlog migration system has turned it into a home for so many. Thats on the 2 years ive been here not in good. Conditions are squalid this place and these people are why europe is finally confronting this crisis. Presenting her proposal the European Commission president called on Member States to rise to the challenge this package reflects a fair and reasonable balance between responsibility and solidarity among Member States we all share the benefits we all share the burden. The migration pact includes compulsory pre entry screening with fingerprinting and a health check a faster 12 week asylum processing target and a sponsored return scheme that would see Member States take responsibility for returning migrants on behalf of other Member States. The plan abandons previous efforts to relocate new arrivals around the 27 member state something opposed to by the likes of hungry im paul and n. G. O. S see that could create havoc in the mediterranean. Member states from play Member States like italy greece and. Will be reluctant to cooperate if there isnt any sort of mandatory relocation and then they might not disembark our ships that have been rescued and then migrants remain stranded so a lot will depend on the willingness of even Member States rights in the last 5 years has not been a very high the Commission Hopes the scenes of a foreign migrant camp on the greek island of lays boss will be the catalyst for change. Morea is a stark reminder we need to find Sustainable Solutions on migration and we all have to step up. Moreas residents know rehire used in another makeshift camp can only hope that action comes sooner rather than later. The big question of course is it will be years migration a pact actually work we asked our brussels correspondent barbara. Parts of it might work because if they really work on repealing more people make the borders Even Stronger discourage more people have more agreements was the countries of origin is to take their citizen spec that might work to a certain extent but on the other hand they have completely let drop the idea of relocation because it is just voluntary now which are a few of peon Member States apart from germany and maybe a few others willing to take people in everybody is going to turn that backs if its not mandatory and so there is no real solution and politically this will remain a minefield and things will more or less carry on as they are there is no good future for migrants on the border for the border of europe if these plans as we have heard them today are being really put in place. That was barbara faisal reporting for us in brussels well sports now and the coronavirus has impacted yet another Athletic Competition it happened here in germany at the beginning of an a. T. P.
