On digital and on life abroad shot up all night and in the star will take another look at the poisoning incident in Salzburg will find out from a Russian. Worked the Russian view is from. The security services on the poisons. Will find out too about something we really don't know enough about which is what has been happening in that suburb of Damascus. Hutto is terrible and that's where we're going 1st. We understand that Syrian government forces have made gains in their longstanding offensive to retake Eastern Ghouta the last major rebel held area on the outskirts of Damascus an eyewitness said that troops overran the town of Beit Sahour after airstrikes and artillery fire hundreds least have died since the Syrian government intensified its efforts to seize Eastern Ghouta last month we were joined by Simon Adams executive director of the global center for Responsibility to Protect and they've been looking very closely into what's happening in in eastern Guta Simon. Count it count Phil you make any changes of of any any any good she motioned to know what's happening in Ghouta right now. Thanks for having me on were I did 'd you know it's an incredibly grim situation and of course it was a terrible day yesterday in any student teacher and I think it's only going to get worse today that the area is now Cathy Hoffa and I think in the last 24 hours we 'd would say all kinds of indiscriminate weapons used against people at a stage or I think that tells you everything you need to know about what the Syrian government is doing there and yesterday we saw a very sort of I mean holy trinity of indiscriminate weaponry so napalm and it's very very weapons used against civilians who so often really struck almost this dance records residential areas and also chemical weapons like how are they managing to do this with without so much as a whimper from anyone else. I mean I think that's probably the most appalling thing about the entire situation of course is that this is happening sort of nakedly in front of the eyes of the world you know of 11 days ago we had that resolution at the u.n. Security Council resolution. 2401 which was cold for a cease firing easting to turn a 30 day cease fire across Syria the Russians voted for that by the way then promptly went out with their Syrian and Iranian allies and intensified the offensive on a sting to the to such an extent that actually 318 civilians have been killed we need to continue to think that there is handle went up in the air 2 Saturdays ago so I think it's a very legitimate question it raises the closes the whole the matter of you know what kind of a world are we living in at the moment and it's a world where I think all norms and all the principles that if they developed since the 2nd World War around human rights and humanitarianism are under threat and I think we see that most Stokley in in Syria or in anything due to this week. What evidence have you been able to amass for. Additional using napalm. Everything is one thing getting reports 'd from from people anything to. Possibly the napalm and also the other in century weapons white phosphorous also possible being dropped on on people yesterday in a stinky 'd jail and I mean you can't these things without any kind of reservation because you know I'm not there on the ground and of course the Syrian government has made sure that international observers. Human rights activists and that journalists like yourselves are not able to get into these areas but certainly the reports of where getting from a range of sources 'd that we trust show that in surgery weapons napalm possibly a white phosphorus carefully used cross the munitions definitely used and then again there's some pretty strong indications that chlorine was possibly used 'd. With. Respect you know to the international reaction you've matched the u.n. What about the European Union because they've they've tried to take a lead on Syria recently haven't they from the United States as a not been any saying from the European Union at all. Well I think it sticks beyond the question of the European Union it's a really a much broader question about what can the world do and I mean I think back to in December 2016 when the letter which was very similar in many respects to what's happening in Eastern culture at the moment the level of kind of revulsion internationally of 'd the extent of that crime and the horrible things that people sold of of the the absolute obliteration of a letter of course you know a number of states including you know a majority of the u.n. General Assembly to set up an investigative body to looking to what was happening in Syria and to potentially hold perpetrators accountable and I mean these are very grim times there is no positive plans I can possibly put on the on the story of what's happening in Syria this week but I do keep in my mind I mean I'm. 2050 this year I'm old enough to have remembered the wars in the former Yugoslavia and I certainly remember a time when the people who were conducting that war the people like General Rucker melodic she carried out the genocide attributes or in July of 9094 I used to swagger around with enormous power and a sense of impunity and I think if we see that think of impunity with President Assad and the people around them then and with his Russian and Iranian allies well blockage is now a prisoner in The Hague you know and I think the wheels of history do move on and I hope that one day we 'd will see anyone from all sides because there are no angels in this situation but particularly I think from the Syrian government have so much blood on their hands that we will see these people eventually in handcuffs and held accountable for their actions. Simon Adams from the global center for Responsibility to Protect thanks very much Simon Well it's a 100 years since the vote was extended to at least some British women but current headlines suggest that equality between the sexes has not been achieved the 8th of March is International Women's Day and celebration of all that's been achieved but also a chance to highlight the issues that still need to be addressed to minor or child is head of policy and insight forces society the U.K.'s leading charity campaigning for gender equality and women's rights I asked her how important this International Women's Day is in 2800. Room hotel moment there on how far we are or how father could go by we want to you know with you know where we. Recently have some of the challenges women a full blown I don't know who have been really important part of that committee and what we are looking at there weren't movement tree is what we really could come quickly as a movement and critique the fight and the things that the great moment a great potential at the moment on the energy I want to drive the women's movement but it really depends on a bike and. Thank you I mean you come a long way as the old cigarette used to say I mean your founder was obviously after universal suffrage and sure enough that came almost 100 years ago didn't it. Yes. There is some there were able to mock when clearly the 1st women getting the vote and recognize the contributions of thousands of women to that fight and particularly moving forward the forces the size because all found them innocent both like the for us because before parliament the women's right to vote but we do still have a long way to go so less than a 3rd of all M.P.'s women women still do the majority of them pay caring what women that on average amount percent less than men and in particular today we're going attention to the issue of low pay for women that women a much more likely to be in low pay. And that's partly because they're more like being flexible part time what in those caring commitments that they have a nose job with a lower paid with a hook for progression but what I because as a society we tend to devalue the what that with and. That means a quarter of working women and less than the real living wage we don't some research which highlights the impact on the line. Of those women such as they were to lose their job and have enough money put aside to last and cover their costs for one week if that bills were to go up hard say that they would have to cut back on food of 40 percent say they'd have to cut back on the heating which given the weather we've had over the last week. Particularly worrying and 2000 don't see that financial situation improving in the next year so it's really important that when we thinking about the experiences of women about what we can do to improve improve the conditions for these lowest paid women and we'd like employees to become real living wage employers help lift employees out of poverty and because again. Have you any idea what percentage of the actual worker workforce these low paid women represent. So 25 percent of all working women all ending below the real living wage which is just over 3000000 cusses a lot isn't it you know governments taking a legislative approach to this local government has taken a legislative approach to some extent is a legislative approach working so there's no doubt having good laws and not the front filters and the quality the right to equal pay for work of equal value the new requirement employers have to publish. Then to pick up the same career the 250 people are really important that also importantly we need to be able to enforce those rights so the current system for bringing a claim if you do find you not being paid as much as as a male colleague mean that women can wait decades in order to get justice that is much more likely that they'll settle along the way than go through that really arduous process we need to streamline that process we create climate has not yet. And I suppose we're not all as high profile as Carrie grace in the b.b.c. Today but one. You know most people go through this in on an imitative and also I think it's important sometimes that the women like Harry Gracie have spoken out but the onus shouldn't be on individual women to challenge this is not the responsibility of women to fight for fat pay the juicy employers to pay fairly and what we need to systems that enable everyone to get the information that they need to make employees responsible for meeting their obligations and we need more transparency on pay and are you a foster society worried about direction. Well for that society is part of a coalition called face her future and our campaign is to utilize the moment affects it both to make sure that we don't robot any of the really important hard won rights that we that we've got often 3 year old Polish support here but that we use that as an opportunity to carry on leading the way on women's rights. That was cool rails been debated in the laws at the moment and is really important protections thing discussed around making sure that we things like the working time directive or protections for pregnant women in the workplace a lot of those a lot of those protections come from all backed up by. By Europe and it's really important that we keep those 3 the baby out with the bathwater through the parts that process. Jim I'm all Haski from a fossil. I was saying about women getting the vote in 1918 parliament passed the parliament qualification of women act in which women over the age of 30 who were householders or the wives of householders or occupiers or property with an annual rent of 5 pounds and graduates of British universities lot of conditions 8400000 women actually manage to vote according to Wikipedia or at least again the right well let's pass on no to India where a leading member of the cabinet of Prime Minister Modi has actually withdrawn from the government terms but tell me more this is one of the close allies of the b j p this is Chunder Baba 90 who's been with the party for a long time I mean this is not just an alliance you had with Mr Modi he's been you know linked to the b j p for quite a while and he's the chief minister of under Pradesh and basically what he has been pushing for ever since he entered the alliance he has 2 ministers that in the central cabinet he wanted special status for under Pradesh and I ringette Lee India's Finance Minister basically said earlier today that that wasn't going to be possible and so Mr Nigh did basically decided well enough is enough he said he'd made 29 trips to Delhi to speak to the prime minister and also to the finance minister and if he was going to get what he wanted then he's going to leave the government and he's taking his ministers with him so a blow in some senses I think because you know the South is an area where Mr Modi's government has traditionally not done that well so losing a big rally in that part of India will be a blow to him and obviously a loss of face as well but I think what we're also seeing is the beginning of a lot of political maneuvering that's going to take. Place throughout the course of this year this deal many analysts who believe that Mr Modi may well call an election at the end of this year even if he does doesn't he'll face one at the beginning of next year so the beginning I think of what's going to be a very interesting political year in India with many politicians looking to shift alliances as they try and boost their own importance in India. But Mr Modi's own party is looking actually quite strong at the moment to. I think they are mean in spite of all the sort of predictions of the economic chaos that is followed to monetise ation and and the new tax system of g.s.t. Which we have talked about endlessly when it comes to elections his party still does very well and you know the recent need that we've had elections in the northeast of India and the area where really the b j p never really was a player before and they've done well there again so they slowly beginning to expand across a new member this was a party of the north and the West even with the loss of the l.a. In the south it's becoming stronger there and certainly becoming a much bigger force in the east of the country so now you know you could say that Mr Modi has transformed it into a into a national party and really when you look still at the Congress party which seems to be struggling as we move towards those elections one has to say that even if all the other regional parties unite against Mr Modi you know it does look at this particular point in time that his party looks set to win another election but of course with Indian politics things can change very very quickly so we'll have to see how things continue to move in the course of the but yeah certainly whatever your criticisms of the Indian prime minister his ability to turn his party into a national party is something that you have to give him some admiration for. Are on the whole. Limited to India women are earning less than men. Shoes just the discrepancy in India. 20 percent according to figures that have come out today now that's a lot. But this some will point to the fact that last year it was 25 percent so there seems to be some of the gap that takes place but I think this is a much bigger issue because I think what is even what is even more concerning was that's concerning enough is if you look at the recent figures that came from the Economic Survey of India we're seeing a drastic reduction in the number of women in the workplace now you know you would expect with the Indian economy continuing to grow and develop and also as India becomes less conservative in some of its attitudes towards women working that that will change but I mean if you look over the last 10 or 15 years we're talking about a dec
