And those are the latest stories from b.b.c. News. This is from our own correspondents on the b.b.c. World Service I'm Pascal hasa Hello and welcome to the program in this edition music speaks truth to power in Haiti in Kuwait's was a wrist watch means to a man whose father was murdered before he was born and we revisit the indomitable postman of Bamako as we remember the extraordinary colleague who 1st introduced us to Him But 1st there is something worse than doing nothing to stop global warming the teenage activist get a turn Berchtold the United Nations Climate Summit in Madrid and it is looking like you're doing something but really achieving nothing could that be the case in Germany that even member state is considered a leader in switching to renewable energy and it's set to pass a landmark law closing down all its coal fired power stations by 2038 but the German government has also admitted that it won't meet its climate emissions targets for 2020 Caroline Bailey looks at the reality of transition in progress in the industrial rural region. Drover has something to show me in his back garden at the side of his burgundy brick house one of many built for the miners of Bach trop 100 years ago there's a jumbled stack of enormous white sacks bursting with coal he plunges his hands into the blackness and scoops up a handful coal was my life he explains. As a miner in the local prosper when your colliery for 30 years he receives subsidized colas part of his pay then later with his pension after he was forced to take an early retirement ahead of the total shutdown of the mine a year ago the 9 tons of it still in the garden and cellar will last 2 more years he tells me and then I'll switch that's which is the essence of what's happening in this former mining town in the row a region where for decades the pit was the biggest employer today but drop has turned its back on its carbon history and is busy reinventing itself as a climate friendly energy efficient alternative to the heart rover that means abandoning his coal fired heating system as He leads me down the narrow staircase into his cellar I'm hit by a wall of hot air this is the only place in the house where my wife lets me smoky chuckles the furnace door swings open it's running well now he shouts over the roar I stare at coal burning so red the heat is almost visible This will keep going for 2 weeks nonstop heating the whole house but I have to switch to gas I have to think of my children he says with a passion clearly tinge with regret up the road in the imposing town hall I meet the tops man then Kishner a small tree man in his early sixty's he's a bit of a celebrity in the world of town planning for climate change next week he tells me he's off to China to explain how Bach dropped his own course to reduce it c o 2 emissions by 60 percent over 10 years. The deadline is autumn next year and he's convinced they'll do it but trouble is a microcosm of Germany's national and make the vendor or energy transition for almost 20 years they've been subsidies the wind turbines and solar panels as the country lead the way in the drive for a new bill energy but despite billions of euros in funding and although it now generates around 40 percent of energy through renewables the transition hasn't yet been enough to counter the country's dependence on fossil fuels another 40 percent of electricity is still powered by coal Germany unlike the u.k. Will fail to meet its original 2020 target for reducing carbon emissions but drops deep coal mine was the last of its kind in Germany but the drive across the river valley brings you to the vast open cast mines at darts phyla and Ham back where they did for lignite or brown coal to feed the nearby power stations these 2 will eventually shut down as part of the energy transition a government backed commission has given coal power until 2038 at the latest to end production although environmentalist are calling for much earlier closures. But trouble is the 1st so-called innovation city in Germany after it won a competition to become a blueprint for green technology and energy conservation it's cost $350000000.00 euros says are generous grants are offered to people like Helmut Rover who change their heating install better insulated windows or put solar panels on their roofs gas from the underground coal mine is being used in district heating where whole streets are connected to a central supply the local sewage works is producing bio gas and there's a wind power zone in the north of the town but drops job is by no means done but then to the man reminds me that people fear the end of coal mining now there are more jobs and companies engaged in the town's energy transition and he says there's a new mood in the city and the mood of starting a new future and finding a new way standing on a form a slag now a landscape tale on the edge of the town I look down on the mine it's all quiet but the industrial heartland of the reverse stretches into the distance a few belching chimneys remain while others stand tall and idle and behind me on the residential side of the hill Ruth upon Ruth shimmers brightly solar panels flashing in the evening sunlight. Caroline Bailey and there will be more about Germany's struggles with power on global business here on the b.b.c. World Service in the New Year and the can be a nation of Haiti music and politics have always played off each other at the turn of the 19th century drama as signaled a slave uprising which would bring forth a new independent republic through years of dictatorship and foreign occupation Haitians have often used music to speak truth to power in 2010 the Haitian American hip hop star and form a Fuji why cliff song surprised some people when he announced that he was running for the presidency of Haiti since then other musicians have also got stuck in the now fresh unrest is sweeping the country threatening to topple the government and the next generation of musical revolutionaries is emerging Thomas Reese has his ear to the ground Peja show as the Haitians say the country is hot for over 2 months now Haiti has been in crisis as protesters demanding the resignation of President George no more yes take to the streets in the thousands more nickname Jo-Jo stands accused of corruption and of deepening the misery of the Haitian people who face skyrocketing inflation food and water shortages blackouts and violence insecurity every day there are demonstrations said a friend marching in the Haitian capital Port au Prince people dying but Jo-Jo is going for sure that's what we're fighting for. Hundreds of Haitian police officers even disobey that what has and joined a protest calling for better working conditions but one of the largest and most striking demonstrations was orchestrated by a group of Haitian musicians including a well known hip hop artist called is a lamb who staged a huge March across Puerto Prince riding on a truck tricked out with a giant sound system like those used during the country's boisterous Carnival celebrations they led thousands of protesters to the capital taking turns on the mike to blast mores for his broken promises and to echo the slogans on the marches placards. A Creole phrase that means get out or on your bike we can't take it anymore and we want another Haiti remarkably given the number of people involved and the depth of the desperation that brought them out onto the streets in the 1st place the March was almost entirely peaceful the carnival atmosphere though was less surprising in Haiti music politics and protest often intertwine it was a voodoo ceremony the beating of drums and the blowing of conscious that triggered the revolution of 79121804 when Haitians won their freedom from the French and founded the world's 1st black republic and in the decade since musicians have often come forward as champions of the oppressed Manno Charlemagne one of Haiti's most celebrated singers was twice forced to flee the country for speaking out against repressive regimes in the 1990 s. Bands such as Ram and Brooklyn experience were subject to death threats and kidnapping attempts because their song lyrics contained metaphor cloaked criticisms of the ruling military jumped of the time and in 2011 Michel Martelly aka controversial Haitian pop star Sweet Micky defeated all comers white half Sean included to become president of Haiti painting himself as a man of the people who would tear down the corrupt establishment. Ironically his presidency sowed the seeds of many of the problems that is a lamb and his fellow artists the next generation of politically engaged musicians and now fighting against though this is the 1st time he's taken on the government is a lamb has often addressed political concerns with his music earlier this year I watched him shoot the video for his latest hit in a backyard in Castle fake a neighborhood of Port au Prince for the videos climax is alone and his crew had mocked up a Haitian street scene a teenage girl was put in curlers in her mother's hair a group of men were counting out crumpled bank notes on the bonnet of a parked car and the rest of the crew were lounging around smoking and playing cards is a lance out front and center with a Haitian flag draped over his head and a grey pitbull on a chain and his feet they went for a take the yard shouted with the dissonant bass in needle sharp drums of Haitian trap music as for Act is armed with shotguns an m. 16 stormed in and dramatized holding is a lance crew with gun point the musicians were unarmed but they didn't even flinch and drove the attackers off with sheer bravado the pit bull bounding forward on its chain the chorus rang out and pup Karim and I don't run the song in the crew's bloodless victory was statements of defiance is a land told me a message against Bondi gang bangers or bandits people who are killing people when we spoke again this month over a crackly phone line from Port au Prince I asked about his stand against the government I'm on the side of the people and I can't bear to see them suffering he told me it's not just nail you need to go it's everyone involved with the state we need to change the whole system if we don't do that it doesn't matter who takes over. Wasn't he afraid of speaking out though I asked in light of what can happen to musicians who get mixed up in Haitian politics no he replied if they want to arrest me because people can't eat the denouncing the violence in the country because too many people have guns because there's too much corruption then so be it if I'm an artist who everyone knows that's thanks to the Haitian people. Always be loyal to them. Thomas Reese You're listening to from our own correspondents here on the b.b.c. World Service I'm Pascal hard over the years this program heard many times from Alex Duval Smith who has dies in Paris aged 55 wherever she was reporting from whether it was Poland South Africa or Ivory Coast she had the knack of nosing out not just a good story but the telling details we will always treasure the dispatches she sent in from Mali where an extended lines on breaking news and current events of course but also showed us what they meant for people's everyday lives this introduction to a certain public servants in Bamako written for us in 2015 cause a huge response from our global audience the doorbell bleary eyed I perform the required Yankee heave of the cheap lock. Service public as a smartly turned out man with extreme enthusiasm he's holding a white home followed addressed to me I feel like closing the door and reopening it again just to make sure it's no Miraj Now the sight of a postman shouldn't be so hard to take in but this is Bamako a city infected with Scruffy police officers who use the highway code as a priceless for bribes it's where corrupt civil servants flowed municipal land for their own profit the results of 2 decades of public sector neglect haven't exactly prepared me for a visit from something as benign and useful as a man delivering letters. So he's publique he insists waving the letter in my face if undelivered please return to p.o. Box 480 Manchester since moving to Mali I put myself online for banks bills and birthdays that knocks on. I discover b.b.c. Payslips thanks to a faraway accounts department I'm meeting postman. He lives and breathes public service as someone only can in a country where there isn't any. Has been issued with a standard post office workers navy blue waistcoat it is on the drab side so rounded by scouring the markets of bomb he's created a bespoke uniform blue shirt to turn blue tie with yellow stripes and his pride and joy navy blue German policeman's trousers the final touches his cap found in a container of plus a quick mint from the French post office don't be a scooter is of course yellow He slides on his metal rimmed pilot's glasses and takes me on a round we join the tide of choking green mini buses lopsided yellow taxis and identical Chinese motor bikes not for us the on dignified zigzagging you see from some 2 wheelers if anyone tries to cut him up don't be a declares that post selfies public works this man is a celebrity what's that he asks pointing at the building in front of us would ask. That strike says it's clearly not the residence of Mr Abraham could he Betty even though we're at the address dated on the overlook 100 and 3rd street door 369 but I know from experience that Mr Cooney body is part of 130 is in a completely different place and is accessed from 94th Street to the refrain. Of these public we head off again. Don't be a has 3 children the eldest of whom is 13 he loves his son to go to university but it's not going to be easy because of the corruption in the education system to be a himself refused to pay for his Baccalaureate or a level diploma he sat the exam $11.00 times in 15 years until finally 3 years ago the examiners cost him $1.00 marriage at the age of $35.00 he was helped with his revision by a Mrs Sang Garri the retired schoolteacher lives in a compound crisscrossed by washing lines and populated by children and grandchildren who are just after her money here don't be a deploys his skill is an acute observer of the human condition I had a letter inside my waistcoat he whispers It's from his son in Spain he sent us some money so when she offers his tea the postman will find a quiet moment to slip of the envelope when no one's looking Don't be a often speaks of himself in the 3rd person like this he says the postman faces many challenges town halls have no idea about all the even numbers homeowners spruce up their doors and forget to add the number or get it wrong because they've hired an illiterate painter I suggest perhaps a system of giving all streets names might help or how about those codes which can really simplify things. A look of despair comes over his entire body appears to sigh It's as though the round he's just taken me on painstakingly showing me the postman's challenges has been a waste of time when I said postcodes he heard redundancy I don't really know about postcards he retorts but what we have in Mali and you've lost way you come from is the social thing we talk to each other if the postman ever returns and that to descend which is rare he feels terrible that day he's failed in his duties as a public servant the late Sir Alex Duval Smith whose empathy and wits will be much missed it's nearly 30 years since Iraq invaded the tiny Gulf states of Kuwait Saddam Hussein was in power at the time he argued that Kuwait's was not an independent country atoll but an historic province of Iraq international forces intervened in what became known as the 1st Gulf War but not before thousands of Kuwaiti citizens were killed under Iraqi occupation so ma'am Baksh knows Kuwait well and recently revisited the country to hear how one family remembers the invasion. It's the watch that catches my eye I was sitting on the floor in Mohammed that a fact I study just outside quite City and he's showing me his late father's belongings arranged neatly on the floor to ceiling shelves in front of us a row after row of books mostly Islamic religious texts the titles and editions carefully hundreds and on their spines Mohammed Scrabble through drawers full of notebooks and cassette tapes again labeled with the same immaculate handwriting but when he takes the watch out of his brown case I ask if I can take a closer look at it so intimate and personal it silver and gold metal strap drapes over my fingers as I gaze at it for a long while in 1990 how much further salon head or far I was the youngest in my Ministry of Religious Intolerance aged just 22 now he's gone but by no means forgotten to commemorate him the ministry made a short film about his last days it depicts his 2 weeks of detention and torture by Iraqi forces there's even a reconstruction sequence where we see him shot by his captors as he walks towards the entrance to the mosque where he once gave sermons for me the most affecting part of the film came at the end way his Sala reciting the Koran months before he was killed in October 1990 his grief stricken wife gave birth to Mohammed 2 months later around 1000 Kuwaitis are thought to have been killed during Iraq's 7 months occupation and 600 more disappeared human rights organizations documented incidents of torture arrests and summary executions by Iraqi forces at the time but the fate of many is still unknown. I know from personal experience that coming to terms with the violent loss of a relative you've never really known is his own journey you try to answer the many questions at least behind what happened to them what kind of person was a and who might they have been to you if things had happened differently growing up all I knew about my paternal grandfather Taylor in Aden in Yemen was that he had been abducted one day as he led the dawn prayer to small neighborhood mosque and never returned I heard that he was swept up in the Marxist National Liberation Front party's violent crackdown on the religious establishment after it seized power in what was then south Yemen it happened in the early 1970 s. Years before I was born but as I grew up I started wanting to know more now meeting her mother and his wife Laura would I wondered how he had come to terms with the loss of his father without ever having known him had it been made easier or more difficult because his absent parent had become a kind of national icon Mohammed shows me the rooms of the war also lined with Sale stacked a little less neatly this time with awards books on science and technology and prototype robots He's a science with and he's managed to turn that into a successful careers name then he's invented a self operating I and it's been Peyton today in the u.s. And Europe and established the Kuwait innovation center for product development and training in the field. Mohammed tells me that when he was in high school he was invited every year to an event hosted by the former mayor of coins for the country's top academic achievers He remembers being told by the Amir his father gave the ultimate sacrifice for the country and that Mohammad should continue his message today he smiles feeling special even if you're not special makes you special It pushes you to do something and what was his father's message Mohamed says it was your life you must add value. He also talks openly about the more difficult times growing up he sometimes struggled with his mother's anxiety she seemed so traumatized by her loss that she lived in fear of anything happening to her son Momma's on young daughters run in and out of the room as we talk and Mohammed gently scold for the oldest of the 48 year old dream comes in carrying her tiny 2 month old sister wanting to practice English I turned back to the last person on the facts his watch his voice reciting the Koran on his notebooks they all helped sketch out who he was as a person and perhaps now that he has children himself how might this defining who his father could have been to him.

There was a special day. Wife and my daughter were watching this special with there's a woman dormitory. After the concert. To break up. The start of a run of the mill night out in Paterson New Jersey of Raven Hurricane Katia At least that's how it seemed. This is the hurricane types from the b.b.c. World Service a series telling the trace story of the triple murder convictions of or even. I'm Steve Crossman. In the early hours of June 17th 1966 on a hot sticky night in the racially charged city of Pattison 2 black men walked into the Lafayette Bar and Grill and committed 3 of the state's most bloody. But were. The famous boxer Rubin Hurricane Carter and Sean. With a fright and it wasn't them but who was it. John I love strumming. The. When John's somewhat beaten up 4 by 4 I'm saying that stem producer is in the back giving his a rendition of his favorite piece of music is called right by our natural Actually I've never heard of it the full but he's really getting into it tapping to be out on the dashboard with one hand staring his downtown with the other. Describing Jon physically is really easy mainly because he has a striking resemblance to a major Hollywood star you have a little bit of Morgan Freeman about you as well again it's all good yes. We drive past John's house carry on until we reach the Basij. To relax and it's where we sit for hours just to. Get out of the way. So let's go. June 16th 66 and pass in New Jersey how much of that night it's still. Bright in your memory is the it is it is the use it in your front of. The kaleidoscope or from the rest of my head I see you can see that. Whole journey for the past 50 years simple nice simple night for John meant dancing at a local bar known as the night spot right through to kicking out time in the early hours that would be like 230 regular time. But $245.00 Bar time you know they try to get you out of the bar 15 minutes prior sort of take a close up so as we're exiting I come out and I see Reuben standing there so it's rumored. Can I get a ride home and then this is Will sure this is better fun going to take you home do you have a license us this is it through me is this is the new dry then another. Room to. Boil. So we we went outside got in the car the other man was drunk his name was John Brooks Reisa Rice the slate into the passenger seat Reagan didn't want to drive instead he like down on the back seat out of sight at say 34 am police received a call about a shooting at the Lafayette bar and grill that's a one minute drive from the night spots in 1966 the bar where the shootings happened Monson important racial boundary this was a traditional white neighborhood with a burgeoning black population it was a place where the manager of the bar James Oliver one of the victims did not say blacks the Lafayette Bar and Grill sits on the corner of a stating street there are 2 entrances want any street at the side door there is a window above the bar and it belongs to an apartment where one of the k. Eyewitnesses in the story lived what Patty Valentine saw would become a crucial factor in the lives of or even in John and she's prominent in pub Dylan's famous song and. Leaving them in. Kansas. Now we know what state he lives n. But we couldn't get any closer to finding her than that. What we do have is this Givens was by a local reporter who interviewed her outside of the courtroom have voice has never been broadcast hearing voices hearing me oh no I knew something. Something was dead . So I went to the site to see if I could hear the way. Instantly I saw the white firing and I saw the Truman running to the. Patricia Valentine then came downstairs. To that horrific murder. There was so much blood we literally slid across the floor when we walked in a quote from one of the 1st responder this description of the car is very important not just a white car but one without a state plates specifically the yellow and blue lettering of New York and unusual tile lights even cars his car was a white Dodge it had yellow and blue New York plates and unusual taillights. It was on the road in the early hours of that Friday morning 10 minutes after the car is stopped by the police whale Rice that in the passenger seat but the cops are looking for 2 black guys not 3 so once they see Ruben they let them go Ruben and John drop off rice there and continue on so now they are 2 black guys in a white car so when the cops spot them again at 3 am they figure they've got their man I'm like whoa the other just said follow me so I got. Front of us was leaning out the window pouring a shot back at us and us in offices the other car horn and then gun suddenly came crowd of people standing out in the street. Other police cars ambulances and such and then the officer says cut off the car get out of it and go stand by the wall while we're standing by the wall it just happened to be I guess the rear door of this Lafayette Bar and Grill and then then that's when they were bringing up bodies and I'm looking at Reuben and woman is looking at me and I'm looking like Oh my God And then this doesn't look good at all the next thing I know the paddy wagon backs up and tell us to get in says we're going to the hospital. Ask for the Ok and they take us into the emergency room and Marin is the only survivor was on the gurney and diesel moaned the detective walked up to him and says Sir we have 2 men here are these the 2 men that shot us they lifted his head so he could see us and he couldn't talk. Come closer. Walk right up to the gurney take a good look and says Are these 2 men that shot you wear this in the negative he said take a good look. No and that's a little silly George in the once thing so they took us back to police headquarters and that was the commencement 17 hours of. Interrogation. Which brings us to Vincent de sac. Out of the dark. Moods or to run the lead detective of the Passe County police force the man he sits across the table that night in separate soulless interrogation rooms with Ben and Shawn will get an unprecedented account of the real detective Vincent De Simone through his son Jimmy Jimmy gave us some of his father's private files on the carter case inside the box when notes that he made cheering the investigation. In 1979 so we weren't expecting to be able to hate him in his own words but squeezed amongst the document's was another type an official passing County Police Department cassette Mays by day Simone himself right if they actually can do. Anything they move and they make the. Arrest of every. Now and then. You get to step in. And you shouldn't be named in $66.00. A triple murder. Full of holes they measure. It in his day someone's opinion of. John office we have a full rule of general they. Tell. Us and we say by John All right John what. I said and that is I will ride with. You I Love. The allegedly had a scholarship to a college because it was really a belief. And had the world in his feet so. I just find that he has to rule by being on June. The early 1 June so when he was there and I bought him for the 1st time this life. Became and he needed one of the. We just take the age of when a little old for why not realize what do you get men. And went away. Feeling. And became well known because of this. We endeavored. To. Have him. Turn and they have and that's and data started the very 1st time that ever spoke sitting across from each of that in an interrogation rain in the hours following the messages. Heavyset guy wounded in the 2nd world war where you had been shot in the face or something blew up in his face so he looked like a bulldog the way his the configuration of his face looked like a bull goal his mouth was always more so it looked like he was slobbering all you know all the time when he thought. Kind of thing hideous looking man this Simone said to me clear the gray clouds from over your head tell us what you know I said I don't know anything I don't even know why I'm here he says Well some people have been shot us I'm a shot anyone. He said. You're the one that's really going to get it. Then I will I don't know what I'm going to get saw another detective comes in with some live rounds in his hand and he tells me I just found these in your car I says Not my car and Carter scar. He says well you take a look at my eyes and I'm not in them I'm not putting my hands on them and if you found them in Ruben Carter's car you go ask Ruben Carter because I don't know anything about us Ruben Carter said You're the one that pulled the trigger you shot these people with a handgun. And I've never wanted to wanted to rifle in my life and they'd leave and then another one would come in you know where did you say you were you know over and over and over and over again like it's one thing that my mother did and still in me is that as long as you tell the truth you have nothing to worry about because the truth comes out the same way all the time if you tell a lie you have to have a really sharp mind to be able remember all the lies that you tall and in which order well would you be willing to take a lie detector test us it's so on so they called in the state trooper from New Jersey New Jersey state trooper his name was McGuire Sargent McGuire in the end he says I'm going to give you. A lot of tests lie detector test and he says if I find anything on this tape that indicates that you had anything to do with these murders that's the 1st time I know that somebody with a murder you know I says you know he says I'm going to see to it that you get the electric chair. Ok let's listen to the test and you know the questions Where did you shoot anyone is why do you on a gun did you did you shoot this person did you shoot like no no no no no Rupa Carter No no no no no and the test was over back into the green room disarm all comes back and he says Look artist you look like a nice kid just say to Ruben Carter is the one that killed these people and we'll let you go says I can't do that he says why not I says because that would be a lot. And I'm not going to say that. This dread of the election. Ok I said that. That's good help me good job orders I don't have a huge yard it is only. Only to the extent that I talk to the schools these people are fishing they are fresh. They are professionals a voyage their profession was that all of these things I mean it was torture around the world comes from come from America and they are very skillful at what they do the fact.

B.b.c. World Service and now sporting witness with me. Today I'm bringing you the inspiring story of the Indian athlete I don't know Mohsen up after his sporting career was cut short by a devastating accident. New goal to become the 1st female amputee to climb Mount Everest. In 201122 year old I don't know Mussina was undergoing rehabilitation treatment at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Delhi although she had only recently had a leg amputated below the knee she announced at the stuff that she wanted to climb the highest mountain in the word. And this is. When I told the doctors I had to started to climb Mt Everest I thought I was having a mental breakdown but when I was examined by a psychiatrist he found that I was absolutely normal and completely mentally stable . Then the doctors tried to tell me that my percentage leg could only be used for walking not for climbing mountains everyone I spoke to was against it so I decided to keep the idea to myself. I don't know mine's not the kind of person who is easily daunted. I say that if your struggle is hard victory is sweeter I wanted a big victory for myself I wanted to test myself I lost my leg but not my life so I didn't give up but it was tough very tough. Was born in the conservative district. But a family within the Indian army which has a long tradition of developing some of the country's best athletes and so the younger Nima was encouraged to play football and 6. I started playing volleyball from the age of 11 or 12 it was a struggle to play with a short skirt as I was from a small town in the northern part of India and people were so conservative. But my family was very supportive so I didn't care about what other people thought thanks to my parents I was able to play up to national level then I don't know my decided she wanted a uniform herself she travelled to the Indian captain for an interview with the central police force. I was going to Delhi from the UK now by train on the train reached a small town called some thugs got on board and started dropping people they tried to snatch my coat chain but being a sports person I didn't give up easily I mean again when I sportsperson I fought back but there were 4 or 5 of them and they were carrying knives they threw me out of that moving train and my leg was severed are many. I don't know had been hit by a train travelling in the opposite. She lay in the dark in agony we did the day that her I was not able to say anything there were rats on the track running all over my body after a few hours some villages spotted me and took me to a local hospital that they gave me basic treatment with a limited facilities available that that is when they remove my leg without anesthesia you know and. I don't know how to go through months of grueling physiotherapy but as she tried to adapt to a new life she was inspired by stories about other Indian athletes in particular the bowler you brought Singh who managed to return to international cricket after lung cancer I don't know him I want to aim high and there's no way higher than Mount Everest she contacted the famous Mt But Jean de Paul who had been the 1st Indian woman to climb the mountain in 1984 Bol agreed that she could join a training camp but I don't know ma would be learning to climb to the very basic just had to Clegg So these are meant to be a no that. Not the training all day long it was so painful when I went to sleep that was the time when I used to think about giving up but in the morning I would wake up fully charged and full of energy so I'd say to myself No I won't give up. It took on him as expedition $52.00 days to travel from Coc Monday to the final campaign ever just from there it was a 17 hour push to the top carrying supplementary oxygen. To my ship I thought I wouldn't be able to reach the summit and would have to turn back off way but I was so stepping. My percent to collect with $10180.00 degree angle each time it hit and I swore I had to fix it each time. I would urge me to turn back you've never seen someone with a perceptible leg climb Mount Everest before but I learned to fix it quickly because this was happening all the time I took a lot longer than a normal mountain but I did not stop the prosthetic leg actually in fact when I got back the leg had virtually disintegrated the ion had actually rusted and cracked into pieces. I don't remember reached the summit in May 2013 exactly 2 years to the decency or accident because that's a lead in. Chases after missing the gigs but hey they are the most precious 6 or 7 minutes of my life I can't express my feelings in words it's hard for me to let you go super doesn't know we don't want to find. It out for the boys to hear already I wanted to raise my hands in the air and scream I wanted to just tell everyone look I'm on top of the world never underestimate a woman I tried to scream with joy but I had little energy left there were flags from sorry many countries I wanted to put my Indian flags above the mold would you . Please just said may I recorded a video with the help. And which I said if I can climb with this condition and you can also do this with your focus determination and hard way. For the people it is really human is seriously but I thank you actually the reason for the video was that with the amount of oxygen I had left I wasn't very sure if I would survive the descent I was worried that if I died my story and my words would get lost so I told. If I don't survive please make sure this video reaches my people in India the hardest part of the journey was yet to come this is at the. Moment in his die while coming down from Everest as people tend to become over comfort and prone to making mistakes it was a difficult journey for me every step is not impossible but extremely difficult when you are up against winds of 250 to 300 kilometers an hour it felt like the wind was cutting through the skin into my bones but I managed to survive the climb was also special for an amount because it followed a smear campaign against her she actually had to go to court to prove the story of her accident was true. There was a time that people used to say bizarre things about me that I tried to commit suicide or that I jumped off the train because I was travelling without a ticket it was a lot of negativity but when we were on the descent my Sherpa told me that he was hearing on the satellite phone about important ministers and government officials visiting my family because of my achievement and I felt vindicated sometimes your actions speak louder than words I no longer had anything to prove perhaps not surprisingly conquering Mount Everest was not enough iron emma she has since climbed the highest peaks in 4 other continents and she's also talking about getting into the batter lympics. The danger that they are doing next my friends are almost more enthusiastic than me they keep coming up and asking me So what next and that really inspires me and I feel like yes for them I must not stop and I. Have to keep moving forward there is still a lot left to achieve in life let us up now hankie I want to inspire more Irony Man and I want to pursue my dream of opening my own sports academy for the disabled in 2018 I got married so now it's a dream for the 2 of us. I don't know Mussina ending that edition of sporting witness presented by me or the producers with Simon Watts and for bot bonding. You're listening to the b.b.c. World Service on k.s.u.
