And today Manuel Lopez Obrador mexicos newly elected president has announced immediate measures against violence but its not clear exactly how his government plans to could tail the countrys many urns powerful gangs and cartels now even the Tourist Centers of can cool an employer common are becoming blighted by the violence.

Thinking queens getting worse not in the hundreds or maybe but i think the government should do much more about it. Local Police Maintain these are isolated incidents yet they still patrol the beaches to guard the visitors. From. The hotel zone in cancun is safe theres no gunfire here. So now there are incidents in turn but normal protocol to respond to all just some of the same people from the criminal underworld.

Yes it is the night still young and the troubles already began. Thats because i want as witnessing barbarity this tide of violence is out of control that police have been overwhelmed police yet thats the. But why are these cases never solved because Police Public prosecutors and politicians are all in cahoots says the editor of the main local newspaper. Get ups. I know logan i said crime doesnt happen unless politicians are on board with it. Bookcase and the police are corrupt. So cartels have completely infiltrated every level of the security services. Take the bribes or you doctor.

Are you who cares about Homeless People living on the streets of los angeles i do who cares that your super berries are destroying the rain forest are you who cares about female empowerment in senegal i do not want to follow d. Get real this is. Facebook and twitter where the channels women celebrities in the us used to tell the world about their experiences of Sexual Harassment a few single voices quickly became a Global Movement hash tag me too was born and women joined forces to fight for their rights. There were expressions of solidarity at the Cannes Film Festival in fronts. The sounds ins demonstrated on the streets of chile. And also in south korea.

Student who accused professor at bay hang university in beijing of trying to rape her twelve years ago. The allegations posted on chinese social media went viral garnering millions of views and shares many described going through similar experiences but for chinas censors it went too far. To the. Blocked our me to micro blog so we changed the name to the chinese words for rice which is me and bernie which is to raise money me too. Its a clever way to avoid the pervasive government censorship this is me too in china the rice bunny on the internet it looks cute but behind it is a network of assertive women. And shanghai joy lynn is an advocate for victims of Sexual Violence she has an internet platform where she offers advice and publishes articles. But even the small scale events she organizes are id with suspicion by police as potentially subversive gatherings. For the screening like iran ten people came and and tog about certain generally shoes.

But despite the challenges gen she the doctoral student from handjob is determined to keep campaigning and recruiting others to the cools you know that you should get. The job. Really touch it.

And say i dont know. What our generation has more opportunities than our parents and ancestors because we can go to school. This week in global ideas were off to the forests of serbia home to play for it takes domestic pigs the animals play an Important Role based in the local ecosystem grounded in local tradition but as our colleague who traveled to that region around more of it trip poets this tradition may soon be a thing of the past. A puddle means its time for a paddle. Although these pigs are a regular domestic breed they live freely in a forest in northwestern sabia. It looks like a pretty good life and that presence is good for the soil here too. There are no ive also if it is relief the puddle hasnt dried up this year if it hot hed have to provide them with more food. In the olden days farmers toiling pigs and always find enough to eat now its harder. Still man and beast get by and get along. Its. About simple i have to know your pigs well. Thats smart you wouldnt believe how special they are the International Court said his animals yield excellent meat old comic. That doesnt mean i foster bitch makes a lot of money if he sells his bonny piglets for thirty six year as a piece that might just to get a better price hed need to have his business certified as organic. Pool thats very expensive mountain of this one it isnt worth it for me especially for the id have to pay a vet to check my had four times a year at three hundred euros a time of full year. Would be left over for me. Thanks areas close to the border with bosniaherzegovina and croatia at the confluence of three rivers so you might think water is not a problem but the few remaining forests swineherd say its become one as floods and droughts become more frequent. These visitors want to find out if this way of life and pig farming has a future that from germanys Development Agency the g. I. Said Nature Conservation body. They say forest pigs do more than merely yield pork. Theyre also excellent ground keepers. They and their swine herds provide an Important Service to the forests. One perhaps even worth paying for. Something. Lashing you did be a law does up a board to go over to him we want to explain the merits of this idea to our partners in the region or hes. Still all in the planning stage the larger parties think theyre all very both forests are unique ecosystem yeah it was the body and if this is a way to maintain biodiversity and live on it could be a model for the entire region i was the deputy at the with salem radio on. The provincial Forestry Department takes a long time approach trees grow slowly it says theres plenty of space for swine hunting in the woods but there are a few and fewer people willing to take on the job. Could be a little easier to make we refute the statistics for the past twenty years the number of swine herds has fallen dramatically which means there are a few areas where pigs live in the forests. Sylvan swine herding has been practiced inside be a for centuries. There was a time when nobody worried about biodiversity and the forests were seemingly endless come this kind of farming be sustained or even pasted. For. Pigs is so good for the forest because they loosen the soil so grain and floodwater can be absorbed more easily. Thats less runoff. With a bit of a little bit closer talk this is also good for insects and birds and helps. Stop go put it also keeps pigs. Hes the last swineherd in this part of the forest his son moved away to the city. So you. Can walk through my studio he shows the visitors how dry the soil has become in recent years. Some pick lettuce and their mother a hare at the house the rest of his herd are out in the forest how many does he have in all. We dont discuss such matters my father taught me never to say how many piglet sows and boys you have one meal would. Of course farmers would eventually have to disclose numbers if it ever came to subsidies from serbian or even institutions. We wanted to find out whether organic food has become an issue for people. Thats evidently little appetite for paying more for such products the main market sells plenty of locally grown free to fetch. Stallholders say that serbia does have a system for certifying produce as organic but they would never sell enough to make it worthwhile. If. There is one organic food shop enough we sat. In on a good organic pork so no way vegetables yes. Beef well they tried it but that was five years ago. You had in the name of the. Beef just didnt work out they started to market it and then it disappeared again nobody bought it over the major organic brands failed they just didnt sell. Serbia also produces conventional nonorganic pork. This farm in the domestic market in russia. Has never considered going organic or selling to the European Union he has about a thousand pics. Of people who dont think about organic food if you can get something cheap why pay more for it boy other. Mutant isnt interested either. He says the whole organic thing is just new fangled stuff. He has a house and a plot of land and hes done all right with his forest pigs. Yet five more years and thats it im seventy im not as strong as i was i also have fruit trees i cant turn both i have to choose fruit or pigs. Five more years and nobody to take over his business the young simply move away the question is if any conservation projects can still make a difference.
