Transcripts For DW Global 3000 - The Globalization Program 2

A country where total surveillance is rapidly becoming the norm. First though we go to iran where some determined women accosting off their headscarves impossible or maybe not. Living in a free country is not something many people can take for granted almost sixty Countries Worldwide are designated partly free and forty nine is not free compass is a third of the worlds population such countries tend to have also retiree and governments but what does that mean. Power is concentrated in the hands of just a few usually a head of state and his inner circle and theyre not subject to the constraints of the law there is no such thing as free elections nor is there any real opposition Citizens Rights are often systematically cattails including freedom of speech and of the press. Iran is one such also retiring in state particularly since the Islamic Revolution of one nine hundred seventy nine the state requires religious b. D. Instrument citizens women must wear a headscarf in public but not everyones prepared to conform. Nargus or seine is apologizing to her mother im sorry i made you worry she says but you must have known what i was doing. Did you think i didnt mind the mother response it almost seems as though you enjoyed being in prison. Today mother and daughter can joke about it a few months ago it didnt feel like a laughing matter nargus have protested publicly against the obligatory islamic headscarf but. To me having to wear the hijab means that other people are deciding what i shouldnt shouldnt do. That weve been stripped of so many rights because apparently we women cant decide for ourselves. But i want to decide for myself that im from a conservative religious family. At home i also protested when my parents tried telling me what i was allowed to wear. Until two years ago i wore the full body child or i love my family and i didnt want to fight with them it took a long time to persuade them and it was hard work. And i achieved my goal to. Better. Hold on. One day she came across a website called the girls of revolution street launched in late two thousand and seventeen they brought together women from across iran who were taking to the streets to protest the compulsory job law they waved white head scarves tied to sticks the idea of a peaceful protest appealed to nargus. I felt that if i was going to do something to further womens rights then i needed to do it now it was such a peaceful protest it wasnt something that felt frightening the main thing i was worried about was if i could climb on top of an electrical enclosure. She managed it on january the twenty ninth she waved her headscarf into run as you want has ever done b. And i stood there expecting to be moved along in five minutes. I was so nervous i was shaking because i was just way. Eating for a voice to say ok get down from there and eventually thats what happened on the year old. Friends and acquaintances rallied round in support while she was in detention she was given a preliminary sentence which shes now appealing far as a her shimmy wheres the job because she wants to even so she doesnt believe that women like nuggets should be thrown into jail for years shes been campaigning for equal rights for women roughing for either. The government thinks the republic of iran will collapse of the new policy is introduced in the compulsory job laws overturned but iran is no different from other dynamic societies in the state of flux. If the leadership cant adjust change it will become obsolete in my view in. Fall as a hashimi says women should be allowed to choose for themselves if they want to wear the hijab. Recent statistics show that seventy five percent of women in iran oppose the compulsory job law. And if. Peaceful protesters are a good thing its a Grassroots Movement theyre expressing their opinion without resorting to violence and i support the girls of revolution street. Shop or actual jar is a day i felt the full force of the regimes anger she doesnt want to wear a headscarf either she says a rainy and women are forced to leave double line its a public one and a private one we meet her in a cafe in toronto she has a husband and a ten year old son she too took part in the protest and likewise ended up in jail. And i told them that im not going to go into that present again without talking to my lawyer and i was be there not badly. After that be. Sent me to a court to the court but didnt didnt ask me about my bruises the judge didnt ask me what happened to your face nazi she was held in solitary confinement and went on Hunger Strike her parents didnt support her they told her she had acted irresponsibly but then her father came to see her he was crying and i told you he hid that there in the glass. And told me that im proud of you and when the. Prison guard lady. Told him. To congress me to stop the Hunger Strike my father just told me be strong stand up and be strong as you are. Was released on bail and is awaiting sentencing she and the other girls of revolution street will continue their peaceful protest their fight for the freedom to decide if they wear a headscarf like their country as a whole the fate of their campaign is uncertain. Another all for a tarion state is the peoples republic of china its communist party has governed for almost seventy years and over that time has entered into an unwritten pact with its one point four billion citizens the state is in charge of Economic Growth which has sought luxury goods are produced and imported for an ever expanding middle class. To make turn the population accept some serious infringements like a Justice System thats far from independent and widespread internet censorship now its just a stones throw from becoming a total surveillance state. But our whole a flagpole and a Bulletin Board displaying photos of exemplary citizens one of whom happens to be passing by me sharing is such a good role model that she first has to talk to the Party Secretary before she can answer a few questions it takes a moment. But then its ok. Here this is me. Why are you so proud of this. So it says that i was respectful and a baby and to my parents yes i have a harmonious family and ive helped other people all the people here are considered role models. He. Says of course shes proud to have been chosen and to have been given so many points for exemplary behavior why its worth it to get a bank loan a good school for the children or a trip everything is easier when you have a lot of points the village where michelle lives is part of a Pilot Project a gigantic social experiment that will change china this Bulletin Board shows the rules of the game you dont just get points for Good Behavior you get ranked people who get into fights or visit too many foreign websites lose points those who dont have enough points are not allowed to join the party are unable to get loans all social welfare those who do tow the party line however are richly rewarded this woman is in charge of giving out the all important points in the village the social control accountant no one knows more about the People Living here than she does and perhaps no one is feared as she is now that it will i doubt were the points we go to every family ask them questions and gather information everyone should tell us his or her opinion of everyone else. Then we have a discussion in the village amity and choose the wrong models ms lynn says everything in the village has improved its much cleaner and more peaceful many People Volunteer to help each other out or do they just do it to get points. Well that the word from the party says that we should create a Harmonious Society and thats why we have the social Credit System now everyone pays close attention to their behavior and what they say take a look at our billet inboard that there is almost no in that news everyone is very careful with him in the hands of the other theres a lot of. A few kilometers away in wrong chang there is an integrity square and its here inside a cold glass palace that the bureau of social credit is located at some point Everyone Needs a certificate of their school so they can buy a house register a child at School Without a certificate nothing is possible in the model city of wrong in laws and the rules of coexistence are in place elsewhere but for chinas Almighty Party thats not enough they want to control all their people and bring them in line. The regime is insecure. They always think there are people in society who want to bring down those in power. For sure theyre very afraid of losing their power. No leaders since mouth has been as powerful as chinese president and party later. He wants to build a social credit and surveillance state in china like never seen before a type of digital dictatorship one that shows no mercy even for those who have done nothing wrong really when sued for example just wants to know where her husband is a human rights lawyer arrested and missing for over a thousand days became a problem and was herself placed under house arrest her children were no longer allowed to go to kindergarten jeering neighbors gathered in front of her home and verbal abuse and her friends. No matter where you are in wrong chin no one dares speak out openly against the social Credit System which will soon encompass the entire country everyone divided into good and bad citizens. There must be a reason to do this i can explain it i just think that its rational you just have to do it. Everyones just hoping that their own social credit account will be all right and that nothing bad will happen to them. Now its time for global ideas this week its all about water which is a big issue in colombia. Is in short supply as so often the case children. Travel to here in northern colombia he ends it as far as the eye can see in such an hour a dream. That. One well for four hundred people many of them come from distant why your communities to why you are colombias largest indigenous ethnic group. Recently the well its been clogging up increasingly often a man has to be lowered down into the eighteen metre deep hole to clean it. Is the only source of water we have so we have to keep it clean the whole Community Comes together to do that work. As a apart from that theres not much work for the man in this impoverished region the women crocheted a traditional box that they will sell later. Probably any water. What if it hasnt rained properly for six or seven years. And thats why it looks so dry that risk. You know how you might we only have a few goats left. The animals are all dying what the young theres nothing green for them to eat and i cant get any water. Coming like i want to say well what ian that is. Common prayer trees marcuse kush shina is just indigenous boarding schools in south america. It houses around Thirteen Hundred pupils aged between six and eighteen. Most of them all while you. Many of them have been brought here because their families are suffering from poverty and drought and on able to feed the children. The school was set up by a catholic religious order. Here the children can get food clean water and a place to sleep for free. Water is an important subject here even for these first graders. Most of the children dont have Running Water at home and instead short from one of the old wells. There are why is water so important the teacher asks. That she gets the child to give her a reason that we are living in them that whether it was for the well water and our community is somewhat salty but weve gotten used to it but the water here in the school is very salty there now where we are that many of the children got kidney disorders from. The filming have been but allowed they will. The schools own water tank is full of dirt and pathogens. Wind and solar energy are harnessed to generate electricity to run a Desalination Plant. The project was set up by all of a culture from the cologne based company n. F. T. Together with come on from the colombian. Youre right. What theyve done that check the water is pumped through several finely poured membranes to extract the salt and also to filter out the bacteria viruses and tiny impurities. The result is Drinking Water that is cleaner than the top water in berlin. I keyed up using we found a solution thats tailor made for this environment and wed like to expand it to other places and not what he does but. We have unlimited amounts of salty water and unlimited amounts of solar power and wind energy and we have the technology for purifying water and for supplying energy so we can bring the energy side and the water side together to supply water to people in specific places in this region. The Desalination Plant cost twenty thousand euros partially funded by the german government. Ronald garcia martinas the caretaker at the boarding school is responsible for maintaining the purification plant and distributing the water today some class representatives have come to see the plant for the first time they want to understand how it works. How many trees of water does that hold. Whatever the plant has a capacity of fifteen hundred liters of clean water a day one thousand for you and five hundred for sale. And the proceeds go towards the upkeep of the plant right here yes the money goes toward necessary repairs. That even considering that it tends salt water into Drinking Water is pretty small. To the infirmary in the town can only dream of this kind of clean water. The doctors obliged to use the contaminated ground water from the courtyard. Thats the only way they can watch the instruments in the clinic which serves patients from the entire region. The ones who come here with diarrhea or gastroenterologists are kids from the surrounding area not so much from the boarding school any more. Any device that can purify the water is a huge help for the population here. Caretaker Ronald Garcia martinez is getting ready for his weekly rounds. Hes provided the school with enough water kind of status now he setting out to sell the remaining five hundred liters in the town. His potential customers have already gotten in touch with him. For the price for a twenty to canister is two thousand pairs Office Around three euro cents a liter. Garcia martinez is already known locally as the bottom out. Locals are now dreaming of more Desalination Plants especially in places where children repeatedly for oil due to the contaminated water. Which is no longer the case at the boarding school and are in a sign. And now from colombia to north africa in many arab states anyone with a job can count themselves lucky youth unemployment is sky high well over thirty percent in some countries china zia is a case in point especially in its rural areas and these are being increasingly targeted by islamic extremists looking for new recruits. What young people need here is hope for the future could mean sick beyond. This desert road trip has an unusual mission to inspire students in remote parts of tunisia with the music of great european composers. The project called tunisia eighty eight is the brainchild of american pianist kimball gallagher. Eighty eight refers to the number of keys on a piano. Service yeah its a music project but really beneath that its a its a whole transformational possible people can kind of realize and grow into their own potential. Both amateur and professional musicians accompany gallagher. Like for rick shabu a well known tunisian cellist hes looking forward to performing. The people for me the fest part of these concerts is seeing the Smiling Faces of all the young listeners that were up dispatchers. To marks up as a small village at the edge of the sahara desert. Malek is looking forward to the visit. Of a seventeen year old is a real music lover but has few opportunities here in the region to pursue her interest. Premier. I havent learned how. Its really great that theyre going to give a concert today because theres no money nothing like it available here the kids you know conversions and all thirty. Malik and her friends head out to the school where preparations are underway for the concert. I did not open about your love of getting the piano to the stage that is a bit of a challenge. You know what im asking. About when Kamal Gallagher plays the audience gives him their full attention. For many students its the first time theyve ever seen a piano. And when tunisian opera singer Livia Ben Chico performs excerpts from romeo and juliet theyre blown away. Event like this is a rare occurrence in southern tunisia a part of the country where theres a heightened terrorist threat the significance isnt lost on the students i. Have never sat there lets say it was great to see so many different instruments and learn all about these famous composers that i set me up with its not. Easy but i loved it but. In the fighting is ive been at this school ive never seen anything like this and you would see. Me if. I ever see one happily joins in for a tunisian folk song. Music can be bonding. The schools director welcomed the opportunity to host this concert. With. Our school lauris an unsecure a border region where locking many things here Teachers School supplies instruments we can offer our students many opportunities like this. One. To mark sun has seen better days. Tourists exploring the sahara used to come here. But now the area is considered too dangerous. Many of the laws they give me lots of people rely on selling sea vineyards to tourists and now theyre having a hard time feeding their families its such a sad finite i mean theyre not seen but as you could see. Extremists benefit from this lack of prospects. Thank you thank. The music project is one way to give the locals hope and broaden their minds. They even get a chance to have fun doing some amateur conducting. And students from a neighboring town get to perform a song they wrote themselves. Easy. Easy easy easy easy eighty eight isnt just a one off concert its also helping the schools set up music clubs for interested students or youre fired if theyre going to give you those. And saying were going to Work Together trying to get more Musical Instruments and the kids here have more possibilities. And we want to change attitudes and im sure well be successful as well but dont tell you theyre going to look over a cello for.
