World Service We are live from London Great to have your company wherever you are listening Laurence Pollard and Clare MacDonald with you back in Hong Kong with Ben James shortly also talking in a start there about the ease plans for space exploration and we visit the most polluted city in the world and it's not where you might think exactly. Reports for us from there which gives regular listeners a clue we'll have sports business on the way as well if you want to get in touch with us please do we love your comments we welcome them on Facebook and Twitter at b.b.c. World Service and you can text us often as the what's app a message on anything you hear in the program this is the number you want lead plus 447-786-2050 extension 85. Let's start with impeachment Sandy it looks like the president might be elsewhere but he has been invited to find space in his diary to well question witnesses at his own impeachment now that would be a mouthful of water in Prospect Jerrold Nadler the Democratic chairman of the House Judiciary Committee has invited President Trump to attend the impeachment hearings or stop complaining about the process of course President Trump is still complaining about the process addressing a rally in Florida complaining once again about the Doraine witch hunt he says into the events surrounding a phone call in July between him and the president of Ukraine how likely is it that President Trump will turn up would it be possible well we spoke to someone a bit of legal opinion Zain Jim Xyron who is the author of an in-depth look in fact a portrait of Donald Trump in 3500 lawsuits. You know be there personally. He would want to. Zone divs as a lawyer is there. To serve the person what's going on possibly to cross-examine witnesses possibly to make a statement. But I don't think he'll be there personally is that you think because he's a law Md by the process if he presumably could take advantage of a of an appearance then he would appear he would quite enjoy it wouldn't he well I think it's a gambit run by not in the House Judiciary Committee because in the hearings before the Intelligence Committee Trump was extremely critical and Trump and his supporters were extremely critical of the process and instead of addressing the issue directly and the facts really are not in serious dispute Trump would attack the witnesses attack the chairman of the Judiciary Committee is he concerned by legal process what is the president's general attitude we know he's asked to to for example you know the niceties of protocol of diplomacy and that kind of thing I'll threaten does he by this kind of process how firm is his legal opinion on this do you think well I don't think he feels threatened based on what's happened so far because it would appear that even if the house impeach isn't he'll be acquitted in the Senate after a trial because it requires a 2 thirds vote in the Senate and the Democrats can't muster 2 thirds and the Republicans have not broken ranks either in the House of Representatives or indicated that the break ranks in the Senate so I don't think he feels threatened except in the court of public opinion so he wants to reassure his base that there's nothing to this is just a part of partisan attack it's fake news and he wants to kind of Grandstand the thing into flecked attention away from the very serious investigation that's been. Performed by the Judiciary Committee is that enough for his base Do they does does the base need to see him testifying or not I don't think he would. Dare testify because you can't deny that what they've already proven with the transcript of the telephone call and the testimony of the other witnesses they can't deny that it took place and he goes into other conversations and other events will either be lying or ill get themselves involved more deeply so any lawyer would tell him not to testify and what do you think is most likely to happen what's your prediction of what will happen it will go through the Lower House not the upper house where he recognizes I think that's the conventional wisdom I think they're going to vote along party lines they'll be a bill of impeachment there's a question as to whether will be confined to the Ukraine affair or whether it will also include 'd other events such as those that came out of the motor report obstruction of justice also telling his aides not to cooperate with the investigation of Congress which is actually one of the articles of impeachment in the Nixon impeachment which never happened because of course Nixon resigned it's Jim Xyron the author of plaintiffs in chief a portrait of Donald Trump in 3500 lawsuits the problem of the invitation being offered of course being that President Trump is probably going to be in the u.k. For a NATO powwow in about a week's time which might stop him from questioning sort of witnesses to his own impeachment. It is time for the b.b.c. World Service We're going to go to Hong Kong now where we have been chronicling the campaign of ongoing rests and also the local elections over the weekend there was one area that didn't vote in pro democracy candidates and used a zip and James has been there for a summit can talk to Ben Welcome back. In the afternoon here in Hong Kong has been pretty quiet since the elections by recent standards and seen violence on the streets in the past few days no confrontations a feeling maybe that everyone is watching and waiting to see what the other side will do next. That university campus we've spoken about a great deal Polytechnic University with staff and medics still searching for any protesters who might still be hiding inside and there is all kinds of analysis we've been reading in the international media about how Beijing will respond to the . Fact the process in a few years to choose the next chief executive the next leader of Hong Kong will pro-democracy councillors be able to work together in power they now have the committee of $1200.00 that nominates the chief executive does include $100.00. But in the end he has to be approved by Beijing So if you've never been to Hong Kong you might imagine it to be exactly what it's like. Right now on Hong Kong Island tower blocks around together and nothing more than that but there are $260.00 islands in fact that are part of this territory many of the. Traditional pace to life that let's explain the council that represents the outlying islands. Beyond the control of pro-democracy councils following the election. Because nearly half of the seats reserved for. Establishment we wanted to visit really different to where we are now so we went to one of the big pairs on the harbor front just. Through the barriers with our public transport smart card they call them cards we got on the ferry and 30 minutes later we were on and. Have a listen to that sound. Was the city center of Hong Kong. Very much not for about half an hour away on a boat we just got to the pier I'm standing on on the ferry from Central Hong Kong to find a rather different saw each of this place of course somebody who's going to help explain where we are Introduce yourself. And I've lived. A full 11 years already to patrolling around the harbors warm little notes about comes in to the back from the open say What's it like living here oh well wonderful I mean 1st to start with people of different steel used still you know they didn't agree with you but we still nod and still make friends this is the beauty of Lama is it less expensive to live here or more expensive less less thank God but I miss that catching up catching up there is one of the issues people have been talking about the pricing has gone up quite rapidly I think it's important to see how the couple of Vishal they have the proper planning this lack of proper planning so it can see over the construction debris over there but right next to is trees in playground definitely we want to maintain it the way it is but with better planning just a minute ago this pair was completely empty but the ferries now drop people off as they're walking but what you've often into the middle of town is a few people come past with our suitcases to catch that ferry back to those who moves to the city center Now you were part of the election and you're standing for one of the pro-democracy groups here you didn't quite win what were the issues that you were campaigning on what the issues are basically 1st of all the number one is to have transparency in the information though that's what we lack off and with a group like al volunteered group and now more people joining whether they voted for whoever Now that should come together and work to bring Flamma to gether so he took our system is that of transparency and we would provide that as the president's transparency. Which was a huge issue nationwide what like phrases like all the big concession by buildings and all that information the consultation they'll give it like about 2 weeks in the in the spot where the people don't really notice the indigenous They have their own values which I treasure and they don't want change so we cannot change that so we tax education just noticed on the restart of the Paris and old style looking houses on stilts over there right on the waterfront so very different to the sunset of Hong Kong here is not there any fishing vessels herder people go out fishing commercially from this island not commercially and well because the basically is not just the whole of Hong Kong the fishing is not dead completely. Feel and they are really struggling and not much resources for them you see a lot of fishing stuff left over and intended spiritual heritage fails Have there been any protests here if you had any confrontations that we've seen in the middle of town already which is quite a unique thing both whether you support the government or not most of them the frightened of what's happening outside is Ok you know at least when we come home you know with the wine of conversation like that and that actually it it in people who support what we've been doing like the livelihood that I'm and all that but because they know and prove democracy they say well so they kind of like that like pull democracy does the right you know people in these 2 to be educated in the sense. I. Can show you their talking it's a band James on Lamma Island for a civil talked about again in the program in our household look for to the sports news now and here is Matthew can a man write matric taught him how to part of Manchester City shared by places in the knockout stages of European Champions League on choose tonight royal were already 3 by the time they kicked off against a Paris charged. Thanks to the draw in the earlier game and their group although they too to draw in the bernabéu were p.s. 2 coming back in the last few minutes was very entertaining Manchester City made it with a pretty Deltora go Shakhtar Donetsk but Tottenham in Jos a Marine you know did it the hard way they were total down at home to Olympiacos inside 20 minutes but helped by a very early substitution from Marino and a very quick ball boy more on that in half an hour they turned it round and won it by 4 goals to 2 hugely entertaining more action tonight in the European Champions League Liverpool host Napoli Barcelona against Bruce who dormant and much more Thank you very much indeed more in 20 minutes Matthew can in our big tech is listening to yeah that's the that's the problem but they want you to think that they're listening to you in a nice way and earlier this year Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg said that he was setting himself a challenge holding public in gauge went on the future of technology and its place in our societies those public discussions have started not brilliantly as our business reporter will be lower and such so you can of gone off much worse it's meant to be showing the big tech firms like Facebook and Mr Zuckerberg firms are listening about concerns that we have in our everyday lives about taking pleading around things like diversity so when the 1st 9 people who publicly spoke to ag of them were men and all of them were white and on down terribly well one tech entrepreneur in fact contacted my colleague so we climb in her piece on this to call the whole process a half baked mission showing a devastating lack of self-awareness This is Allison Bendigo and she's a technology journalist in Silicon Valley can explain why it's more than just a bad p.r. Me it's really is just a sad sad stories or corporate is in this powerful powerful position super powerful position to influence the future and his toys his reflect a completely myopic view of the world he seems oblivious to this need for diversity and he's actually irresponsible I mean people like him should be leading the charge to increase the diversity and it's also bad for the bottom line I mean Reese. Search has shown time and time again I'm sure you're familiar with this the more diverse the team the better the financial performance even Warren Buffett you know who everyone looks up to you know investor and struck a straw dinero says diversification is protection against ignorance so it's just baffling actually that this has happened but it is ironic and the beginning of this year when he said his goal he talked he actually wrote about he wrote this question and I think it's so ironic he said do we want technology to keep giving more people a voice or will traditional gate keepers control what ideas can be expressed and then he goes and does this so it's incredible I've actually interviewed you know many people over the years over my years in Silicon Valley in one of the most prominent ones is Meghan Smith she was the former chief technology officer for President Obama's administration and I asked her about diversity and she pointed out is especially urgent right now with the beginnings were I kind of at the cusp of artificial intelligence and and you know with that in mind if only white men who are writing the software and algorithms for what kind of biases are they going to build then they're going to be blind spots there's going to be a faulty foundation to what they're building here yes or not a great start no comment from Facebook so far but mission showing devastating lack of self-awareness I just wanted to remind myself of that thank you will bind myself like these though. Oh come on we know that about this longer than what we really are it's now a big question for Europe today what is the block's role in the future of space exploration a big meeting is taking place in Spain today to set out this policy between the member states of the European Space Agency or e.s.a. Let's talk more to Jeff files from the space news website he's at the gathering in Seville welcome Jeff so your role in space is round the table. This is a meeting of Isa's 22 member states they're meeting here today and tomorrow to make decisions on what parameters to fund and at what levels for the next 3 years Ok I want kind of things are we talking about as I know there's this that's 4 major categories one of which would be supporting America's efforts to return astronauts to the moon so they're the kind of big headlines that make news all over the place but there's loads will going on here isn't there. That's right though the one that gets the most attention is called Science next story genetic Lutes everything from participating in NASA program to return to the mood to operate in the International Space Station to sending a robotic missions to Mars but there are 3 other pillars one covers aspects like Earth science and telecommunications another fund launch vehicle development and the last one is called Space safety which covers everything from monitoring space weather and its impacts on the earth to keep an eye out on any asteroids that might pose a threat to the Earth so this is a lot of money we're talking about the n.s.a. Is asking for nearly $14000000000.00 from these people around the table will they get it. Head of the European Space Agency. Was very optimistic right talked about a month ago. He has been working very closely with member states that actually started out this process for what they call a ministerial meeting 2 years ago they hold these meetings every 3 years of it and for a very long time to make sure that to everyone onboard knows what uses it for and how much. Any sort of last minute difficulties that is that a race to actually want to put your money behind the most popular headline grabbing projects I mean is that is there a bit of us on seem to scramble behind the scenes. A lot of the challenge is the way isa works is that the money you put in you expect to get out through contracts to graphic return is what they call it so countries want to meet be sure they put money into programs that they're going to get something out of so there's a lot of work behind the scenes to make sure that countries are on board specific programs and feel like they're getting a return on their investment but it's interesting isn't it because obviously here in the u.k. We have the issue of BRICs it of leaving the European Union and yet a lot of our party is currently standing in the election of the governing party as well will be making a lot of a lot of the facts a lot of political capital that it's putting money into projects like this that are going to help this nation but where do we stand if we come out of the e.u. Will we still have to put the money in. Well the European Space Agency is independent from the e.u. So even if it goes through you came for me remember it will still be contributing to its programs and there are some complicated when it comes programs that work with each other like l.a. Or satellite navigation system but overall u.k. Will continue to be an active member of Isa regardless of what if x. It takes place Jeff good to talk to you thank you for joining us Jeff fans there of the space news website Eason civil. This is news day we're going to go to Zimbabwe Kenya and Somalia On the other side of the news but now we're going to go to the number one city in the world Belgrade Yeah the number one city in the world in terms of being most polluted it was briefly the head of this enviable chart but a bit of a surprise most people think of other areas as being badly polluted but a pretty fair reflection it was of the struggles that the Balkan City and other Balkan cities face with quality old cars existing industries traditional farming techniques guard Lonny reports. When you stand on the brink of spread across the river so you can see why Belgrade's call the police problem the traffic is heavy and slow moving and many of the vehicles are old fogies jammed for the whole day and of a large amount of air pollution is emitted during all periods of the so that was not the situation before and that a a story which is an air pollution expert a Belgrade University's environmental physics laboratory we don't know what people burn in their individual domestic heating unit plastic or board or which kind of award which kind of coal we don't have a mentor is so we could focus on a particular emission source. All of the. Contributor to Belgrade briefly seizing the title of the world's most polluted city over the last weekend in October the visual monitor ranked Serbia's capital higher than the usual suspects like Delhi Dhaka and Hanoi the authorities directed citizens to stay inside and avoid outdoor exercise long term Belgrade resident Philomena O'Brien says it was sound advice I was my bike to work and I really. Rethink riding my I don't know why it was probably for 5 days or. More people rode bicycles that might cut down on congestion and the attendant pollution. But at least Serbia now has a government department dedicated to the issue the Ministry for environmental protection was reestablished 2 years ago and Minister Gordon 3 Van told me the pressure from the public is starting to force policy change a little bit to the rich but really. There's been a big swing in public opinion and this is their important over the past 2 years citizens have become much more sensitive about environmental questions and they're putting pressure on politicians and institutions to make their lives better and. The minister says the government's taking steps to limit the import of inefficient 2nd hand cars and it's already embarked on a tree planting program but it will be years before those measures will ensure clean air in Belgrade Until then it may be worth checking the air quality before you go for the bike ride. And what was briefly the most polluted city in the world Belgrade the more regular tables that I'm looking at here courtesy of the World Health Organization and others but historically. In India is pretty bad 1st African one is but many in Cameroon and then obviously there's a lot of contenders in China also doesn't come out very well this is news up lexers takes you b.b.c.

It's. Right we're going to go to Zimbabwe we're going to talk about the crisis in health care there we've been covering in the past 3 months actually junior doctors have been on strike in hospitals there they've been covered by their senior colleagues but now senior doctors have gone on strike they are protesting over the sacking of some of the $400.00 junior doctors who were on strike it's all about poor wages and of course in the background is the terrible economic crisis nurses in clinics have also been on strike pressing for a living wage with massive inflation in the background Let's speak now to Dr to wonder who is acting secretary general of the Zimbabwe Hospital Doctors Association actually a junior doctor am I right is that right to wonder. Yes right you get of things for us to not all Listen welcome back this is kind of very very bad news for patients but 1st off can I just ask as a junior doctor what do you think of the senior doctors coming out on strike as well do you welcome it or is it increasing danger to patients. So fair situation. Compromise here and. In. This you know in mining don't. It different. But now yes now it's not optional but. This is I mean this is quite grim because I just want to underline I mean you guys at junior level going on strike in a sense the safety net was the senior doctors but now that the safety net has been taken away bluntly people are going to die because of this. Years people. Fairly do not say. I'm sorry is that your phone go somebody else wants to talk to you as well if you want to just deal with that quickly to wonder and we'll carry on stories he was saying so you're using the word genocide in terms of the health care is it that is it that bad at the moment tell us what the situation is like in hospitals that you know you're only be. Sinhalese because. You have. To you. And it must. Be of the moment only why and why that's. Critical question in obviously a good. You know you know Judy the law provided it's not so severe that people are just it's a little you know say well it's Listen it's sad but ultimately you do have some responsibility for it I mean if patients are turned away to die that is against your oath as a doctor and it's just not good enough to just push the blame on to the government you have to take some responsibility don't you I know it's grim but you do. Known or know we don't have to take in at least once a week here is the responsibility of the government to provide for their well it's . Probably their citizens and it can be. Doctors Island striking years but they're saying that you couples that it will be if given the money to do all be one should more why does the government didn't take dance on the doctors. What is the situation with private clinics I mean you represent the kind of the the health system for normal people the mass of the people if people have money can they still get treated in Zimbabwe. Is. The system in function and done for the most of the people in the expression cannot afford you views in the private sector so this situation is. Most definitely going to quit. Well listen I want to thank you for coming on to wonder. Who is the acting secretary general of the Zimbabwe Hospital Doctors Association a junior doctor himself as you heard there reflecting on the fact that now senior doctors have gone on strike as well basically taking away the safety net in the public health system for many many Zimbabweans the vast majority who can't unlike Vice President Constantino to go abroad for treatment it's Tuesday from the b.b.c. World Service thank you for joining us now as we were hearing yesterday on this program Kenya's president a hurricane yet or and opposition leader Raila Odinga have received a much awaited report on political reforms in the country that report is known as the building bridges and this shit if it was drafted by a committee appointed by the 2 leaders are to the disputed 2017 elections so how are Kenyans likely to receive the report let's talk to our correspondents mostly in the town of overworked and Victor Konami in Iraq be welcome to both of you mercy let me start with you you're in Eldoret it suffered from brutal post-election violence back in 2007 to 2008 which to date has remained the ugliest period in the country's long history of a divisive politics so do people there have confidence that this initiative this building bridges initiative will make any kind of change for them in their day to day lives. Thank you very much less than an elder it we would see one of the towns that is the epicenter of little. Violence here people there's certainly a mixed reaction in response to the now very famous baby Ava port. And just to point out here today I was already attended a common people's parliament held in one of the streets here in the rate where people basically meet in debate and issues affecting the ordinary citizen and the debate was on b b I the whole of this week now George of the people feel like this is just an argument between 2 people President who can yet and his counterpart train Odinga and they're trying to impose their people and others say it may be a good thing if it will handle specific issues that have been good lately the country including you know a good long economy high rates of unemployment corruption and if the state if the peace report of the baby I will address all these then they're good to go but if not they feel it's just something that will again divide Kenyans and so when you look into this report when people have looked into it to they see anything in age can deliver what the headline is telling us it will building bridges initiatives is it just more than just talk. Now 1st of all we have to understand that this report is best or 9 points they called it the 9 points adrift agenda and some of the issues that are being moved into the d.c. Village shown and you know addressing courses of that and things to do with Deval Lucian in the formation of regional governments it's looking at negativity city and corruption so as it is and paper and what it proposes Yes it is something that may address the issues you're facing but there have been so many other reports that have come up saying that they will address these issues but none of them have we are looking at reports like the truth in just his report that is used after the post Paul violence we're looking at reports and corruption in the rest of them but they haven't done anything so the question many people are asking is how different with this report. When you talk to people what do they what do they use tell you would make a difference or who do they think might make that difference to their lives may not . Thinking the last time Eldridge was in the headlines was when Elliott kicked Ok run the sub to a marathon and you saw those thousands of people come out in the streets and celebrate and come together in this wonderful vibrant community what would change for them what would they trust. And did you know that was a really beautiful Mormon's the 159 years challenge you know some of those are some of the things that just unite our athletes the culture the pride of this that if some of the things that bring pride to the people and when you come back to the community the people are into the ground the people I just know tapping with what is going on in the country and they fill the people who are bringing all the problems they can and their leaders the same same people who are talking about the baby I support in trying to implement it so they feel 1st the change has to start from from the leadership. And listening then watercourses of what is driving the country's economy down in that they feel can only be done by the leaders but unfortunately their general feeling when you come down to the villages into the what areas of Kenya is that they leaders that are currently have a failing Yes and it may take more than just a peace initiative report to build the country to what it's supposed to be mostly Thank you for joining us a message Your mother is in the town of Eldoret Rio de be catching up with Victor Konami in Nairobi later on in the program 18 minutes to the hour sport on the way but we stay in East Africa and meteorologists are expecting more heavy rain to hit the region which of course will only worsen recent flooding according to one charity the International Rescue Committee more than a quarter of a 1000000 people have been forced to leave their homes in Somalia some are calling it the worst flooding in a lifetime let's speak to work bonobos Surratt Now tell us more from the Norwegian Refugee Council in Somalia could you give us an update on the scale there I mean pretty apocalyptic headlines that we're hearing what does it look like on the ground. Thank you very much it doesn't look very good at the current the question we have is that 7000 people have died 370000 how to been displaced by flooding and half a 1000000. To. The risk of their extended or additional rain means the next coming days we risk. Being in a situation where more than 4 100000 people are displaced and up 270-0000 people directly affected this situation is kind of leaving and what are people able to do for themselves because obviously there's immense problems getting aid in there and I want to ask in a minute if the aid is forthcoming but what can people do to actually help themselves and the moment in this current emergency situation the best you can do is to move out of the lower lying areas. Right in terms of learning that only thing they can do is to wreck sure that we used a warning systems to anticipate this flooding and are they are they sufficiently early warning systems did they work yes they are learning systems are sufficient and they're working but apparently the resources should enable us to effectively anticipate allowed actually are not sufficient to prevent this let's try to think ahead a little bit what are the implications of this once the waters I mean I don't want to look too far ahead with more heavy rain on the way but once the waters recede what does it mean for example local food supply can you paint a picture of that. Once the waters recede the line on flooding it's good modestly for crop production in especially where the flooding is much about and not Warsaw more than 10000 hectares of land have been capital and been affected by the floods that means that even if the what of the seeds the farmers really have really lost crops that have lost the existing crops and tell us where we are in terms of the agricultural cycle there isn't time to plant again to grow again they've lost basically a growing season. Exactly this point in time we must. Correct the question this next year during the. That is how. Many many thanks indeed for helping us raise the alarm from the Norwegian Refugee Council in Somalia that was Barnabas a Sora you say from the b.b.c. World Service that's going on the sports news now if you can you buy Claire an early substitution and a quick thinking boy helped shows a Marine is Tottenham Hotspur to a pretty remarkable comeback in his 1st home game in charge to kneel down at home against a little p.r. Course in the European Champions League Mourinho took off Eric Dyer before the 1st half hour was completed to help spark a change with the introduction of Christian Eriksen and after getting lucky goal back there equaliser came thanks to the ball boy taking the opposition by surprise with a very speedy reintroduction which led directly to a goal earning high praise for the boy and not just the players from the new boss. You have to be a very good boy I was between my. 1516 year old I was a very good. Kid is a. Understands the game reads the game is not just to. Leave. You will know the new humble one took some time there to mention that he himself had been a very good ball boy. Absolutely any way that equaliser sore Spurs firmly back in the game they went on to win it pretty comfortably in the end for 2 which confirms their place in the knockout stage in the same group a thumping 6 unanswered goals for Byron Munich and familiar scoring line against Spurs in the past as well as against Red Star Belgrade this time 4 of them for Robert who declared afterwards that he said Dick did to scoring goals it is now 34 Levin dog. In 24 appearances this season. I'm addicted to scoring goals it's you know it's get on with absolutely doing it rather well at the moment plenty of other girls around the continent on Tuesday not Real Madrid went to concede 2 late goals to your man his coach conceded had been the better team might have won it right at the end when Gareth. Patton backed off the post but their progress in the early had been assured Bruce through with. Bridges nights notable for having 2 players. Clinton sent off as they celebrated that goal just stripped off his shirt after his fine strike went to 2nd yellow card read a matter kick to the corner flag so hard it broke the 2nd yellow card read the draw gives Bruce the lead in the race for. The city's one all draw against Shakhtar Donetsk takes them through to the knockout phase as well it was a satisfactory outcome according to boss. But over the whole. World Much much for. The defense. It wasn't easy to. Lots more action in the European Champions League later today the other 4 groups playing including Champions Liverpool at time to Napoli we will look ahead to all of that. 930 g.m.t. And of course for you want tomorrow morning's news day no reaction yet from the Confederation of African football to the news that Somali winners of Africa's 2nd string club tournament Confederation Cup want to travel to catapult to take place in the African Super Cup next year's amount ex-president made the announcement on Tuesday saying Qatar is an enemy of Egypt Egypt and several other countries in the region engaged in an ongoing economic embargo of Qatar of course he did leave some wiggle room though suggesting that they would. If they were told to by the Egyptian government and we talked earlier this week didn't wait about the disparity in money between the men's and the women's golf well the women's tour in Europe is teaming up with the El p.g.a. Tour over in the United States to try and boost their prize money and they're looking to improve their shuttle as well from 2020 a revamped Order of Merit and the winner will get an extra 100 $37000.00 which is not quite the millions that they talk about in the men's game. It will get them there I've just watched a replay of the ballboy incident and that's both game last night there that play doesn't stop he so good at that really is a running on goal they don't have to start running out because that's as far as they get the ball thrown in taken quickly boom. It is very impression and he got a hug and a high 5 from the arena as well yeah well deserved 10 minutes of the hour this is news day now as part of the commitment to return artifacts from the colonial era France has returned a sword to Senegal pretty symbolic remember last year there was a big report commissioned by Emmanuel macro which ended up advising the French government to take thousands of African or other artifacts from museum storerooms and return them to where they came from now this sort is a saber which originally belonged to Omar Saeed to Tulla West African leader Islamic scholar who was sort of lead and to Colonial struggle against the French in the 850 s. Mamadou tulle his great great grandson of the great tulle and he's been speaking to the B.B.C.'s Alan Souter about his great great grandfather but he was an Islamic scholar he was also a sushi mystic So a leader of the very famous sushi which is called the Puffin the 2 yen yet which today has worldwide over 100000000 followers 100 year old 100000000 followers worldwide so Lot of Africa West Africa. In several parts of Asia as well I don't want to he said ago but he died in Mali Yes So I mean he found the Empire in West Africa I mean you know as you know these these modern nation states in exist but then in the same way and he died in 1954 Do you still feel the significance in your family Oh absolutely I mean actually now studying in Cairo studied to become an Islamic scholar as well and kind of his footsteps now talk to me about this what was the 1st time you heard about his existence I've had the by some time ago and I think some pictures of this some drawings of him much early so I'm going to some parts of him praying over sort praying that he's kind of made victorious over the colonialists so kind of always kind of what it was a myth or maybe I missed as an if you know the story of his body was never found right he was conned into his current kind of like a cave with by the French and then you'd have a letter on his son went on the sword for the French until he was defeated and then the French kind of I can see why you'd think it was a myth how did they even know that this was the sword exactly so that was a pub myth as well and there are little inscribing on this one as well and the kids who belong to him. Go relatives of mine well that you receive it with the president when the civil rights recently journalistic standpoint is what I feel like it's most important and I think it is nice to have this story as well but most embellish of facts being returned back to Africa but it's also a point has to be made that there is still a lot most solid stuff Iraq that needs to go back exactly something is mostly if anything and now what more would you like to see done I know you've talked about the fact that you know this this what is a start is it not what more do I mean I mean if it's symbolic for anything I mean my views on kind of colonialism and imperialism are quite strong adverse to all of us. And obviously I would like to see many things happen whether reparations will be one that the taxation housewives are going to say something like you know what this is what I would do if it was me and I think I don't know if my from a little bit like to give this like Reclaim meets and then sell it. It must be what from what I'm sure is progress of a lot. How about for that same time is not being given indefinitely Robinson getting for free has only 2 stations and right that's why I've got enough red so far. As someone who can you know trace his blood like you said this is a fabulous thing a venue decide who owns it eventually. Mamadou Tal great grandson of Omar Saeed who who fought the French in 857 to 859 before signing a peace treaty with them in 860 his sector is back in Senegal. Let me tell you about comic crusader Priya a gang rape survivor who earlier campaigned against rape and acid attacks while this comic Crusader is back as a new avatar in an all granted reality comic book and this time she is fighting the trafficking of girls and women for sex the modern day female superhero who was 1st launched in some but 2014 exactly 2 years after that horrific gang rape of a young woman on a bus in Delhi and she was focused she was focusing then attention on the problem of gender and sexual violence in India earlier I spoke to dip to Mehta the writer of Priya on the last girl's and also taught why this time around it was important she felt to focus on the issue of trafficking trafficking is one of the biggest issues that mankind is facing today it is global it has a lot of money in it the last I heard the figure was unlike $99000000000.00 a year. Which keeps changing on the day I mean. It's been said that there are more sleeves now than we've ever had in the history of man and trafficking happens for many many reasons and it's usually it usually involves the younger generation like between the ages of 5 and 13 so it's really important that we start to look at it in every way possible and that we start educating our youth we early on clearly you're very passionate about this as is Ram Devaney the Indian American creator of this comic series and it was a visit to India's largest red light area called catarrh where he met several women engaged in sex work that really brought him up short didn't that visit Yeah it was a very crucial visit for him I mean for me I grew up in South Bombay where there are pockets of red light districts all around and growing up you just never could avoid them you know because the public transport would go through them. And things like that so I always saw these girls that were standing outside me shift Clark Clark doors and you know I was just told that these are bad neighborhoods in New shouldn't ever go there and bad things happen to good girls over there and then the woman over there are dirty and bad things they do bad things and to me that was a fascinating way what is so dirty about these women and so you were brought up with that with the message that they made a choice by the sounds of things they were bad Exactly exactly and that is what largely the society likes to believe and they haven't made a choice and what he saw saw in these areas of color cancer was was shocking with children sharing the same rooms as their mothers who were in the sex industry yeah there so I spoke to a few women and I barely there were dying when the child would be under the bed while they were taking a client on the bed and that's kind of just really really sad too but speaking of choice you know I feel like we think of choice as the screen will kind of you know our definition but is there really a free will for these women doc what poverty dark about oppression talk about abuse and then when they're broken into the industry it starts to look like a choice it starts to look like a choice because now they're not crying day in day out they're not being beaten into submission any more so through your latest comic book series What is the message you are trying to get out to the world through the super hero what does she do in these situations so what she's trying to do is she's trying to break the stigma she's trying to get create reality to listen up she's trying to have women have a place where they can be seen they can be heard not just a place where she goes to there's village interest you know rescues all the girls and it's done now you know you're all happy the. I know she really talks about the actual issue even after the clock ticking victims are just cute or even after the prostitute did women come out of the brothels they're still looked at with a certain disdain that there is a huge stigma and she is not shying from talking about that stigma and talking about how bt arche as resulted into this whole mess that's 20 minutes or the ride to a preview of the last girl's The latest Well the latest edition of her comic crusade a prayer this time taking on the trafficking of girls and women for sex you're listening to news day for the b.b.c.
