Hello people of the internet, my name is Johnny and welcome to Poppy Playtime Chapter 2. I'm back playing Poppy Playtime because from what they've shown off for Chapter 2, I'm actually pretty intrigued. I know there's probably going to be quite a few people upset that I'm checking this game out once again. If you're one of those people, just feel free to click off the video honestly. But I wanted to see what's up with Chapter 2 and so here we are. So without further ado, Chapter 2, fly in a web. With Poppy, they're hand twitched, mommy's hand twitched with Poppy now free. The situation begins to change rapidly while you search for any way to escape the factory. Now Chapter 1 ended with us, I want to say confidently killing Huggy Wuggy even though I have a feeling he's going to be back in some way. So you can't actually save any of the settings. There's an apply button that's right here but that does nothing. There's no apply like when you back out, it just resets like awesome. So I'm sorry if the video is lagging, I'll try my best to fix it but I don't know, this game released like four hours later than it was supposed to. So I'm guessing there's going to be quite a few bugs on launch. Alright let's have a look at this VHS tape. They released this as one of the teasers so I'm recognizing this. I can see mommy, hi mommy. They also released this on their YouTube. Wow look at how stretchy mommy is. I wish they picked a different name for this character because this is going to be a weird play through. Let's go. Good job. Someone told me to wake up. Typical VHS horror. Maybe come up with something different or just let the trend die. Poggers. Hi Poppy.  Back here. Whoa! Back here again. I didn't save any of the settings so we're just going to have to wait and see how the video looks at the end. Wow! Can I go through this door? Hey! Bronk! Or Bron! I forget your name already buddy but you're my favorite. Hey, huggy. Well, let's go down this creepy hallway. Some stairs. Bay 09 that I can't go down. Stairs. No stairs. Huh. Okay. Wow. I'll just keep on walking. I'm coming mysterious voice. Oh, dang it. Oh boogie bot! Can I take you with me buddy? Buddy. Come on. Mmm. Elite Ledwig. Isn't that the dude who made, uh, okay well I can't go this way. I can't, I just said I can't go this way. I did see in the trailer you can like fling on stuff so maybe I'm going to get that hand in this door. Okay. Whee. Oh, I did it. Wait. Oh. Oh, I figured it out. You got to run and you got to jump baby and go and swing and let go. I forgot to let go. And go. Whoa! Look at me. I could have just set up that ladder. I think that would have been a better alternative. Mmm. I don't know if I want to press that. So I think it's the grain filter. That's kind of messing with my recording. Okay. Uh, right. Radio neighbor. Is that your voice? Why is that your voice? I don't like that. That's your voice. That's a weird sounding voice. Oh, yeah. Let me just move these out of the way. Ooh. A flower key. That seems important. Maybe this is to Ludwig's place. I knew it. And ready to let go. I love that mechanic. That's a fun mechanic. A Ludwig knock knock. Are you Ludwig? You don't look like any Ludwig. Hey. Whoa. I didn't know I could pick you up, but I'm happy I did. Tape as well that I can't pick up. There we go. I can't read that, but I'm sure it's on the internet somewhere. Oh, the love bug.  Thank you, Mr. Ludwig. Ooh. Cute to drawing. Let's play the tape. Poppy, playtime. Ludwig is the product of a great man by the name of Elliot Ludwig, divorced but a family man at heart. His sights were always set on bringing amazing toys to amazing children around the world. Ludwig spent countless hours in the factory working overtime relentlessly in an attempt to continue to innovate and surprise. In the 1960s, an unfortunate family death had pushed Ludwig down to his lowest. Damn. But with so much ambition, he rose back up and continued to fulfill his vision for the Playtime Co. Toy Factory. Ludwig could never be content leaving a project unfinished, but just how did one man come to create such an astounding empire? How did he manage to stay determined even after suffering such a tragic loss? Determination. And all began in the fateful year of 19. No. No, they're leaving out important timeline info. God dang it, Ludwig. All right. Am I supposed to climb in the vents all FNAF style? I think I do. There we go. Just needed a bit more power and now it's in my way. All right. Back into the vents we go. I don't like this. Also why is this just in his office? Or is this leading me? Okay. Wow. I wish I could see you past this grain filter or maybe just up my settings or lower the settings or just do anything with the settings. All right. How do you want me to do this? Let's just loop it around and kablam and kablam, kablam, kablamo. There we go. Don't clap at me. Why are there no subtitles when you're talking? There used to be subtitles.  It needs a coke. You say it needs a coke? Where are you going, little girl? Boppy? Okay. Right. You're not going to give me any hints as to how? I need a ladder. Yeah. Well, I wasn't able to do that before. I had to use momentum. I couldn't just climb.  Okay. That's great. Okay. How? Actually, how? All right. So apparently you don't go through there. You go back out here because yeah, sure. Let me through. Let me through. Let's hope I don't fall. Wee. Woo. Oh my God. I didn't even mean to do that. Locked door. Yes. Locked door. Yes. Cat me.  Wow, lag. Listen.  Oh, man. You've... I don't trust you. I'm not jumping. All right. Well, whatever. I'm falling eternally to my death. Oh, wow. It's a slide. Because of course the hole would lead to Ludwig's slide. Well, at least Ludwig's a fun and enjoyable fellow. Let's go turn on this power. Do, do, do. Oh, wait. What? Why would you do that? Okay. Wait. Cablamo. And... And get this. Cablamo. And Cablamo. Wait. Hold on. Cablamo. It's not working. Cablamo. There we go. Game station. Yes. I want to see a choo choo. This is a long ominous hallway. No. Hey. You took my poppy. I need my poppy. Whoa. I thought it's kind of fun. I like trains. You have cool animations. Why are you not talking, poppy? You're not even fighting this. Can I have my hand back?  I only have one hand. Right, but you took my hand. Can I have my hand? Oh. You took my hand. Oh, no. PJ. PJ, what happened to you, PJ? Oh, PJ. You're not supposed to do that. Let's pull this lever and let's open another ominous giant gate. To the zone of dork. Oh, how fun. Oh, my God. I love choo choo. Press here. Okay. You don't sound too good. All right. Well, I love choo choos. So whack a huggy. Oh, I want to whack a huggy. Where are the subtitles? There used to be subtitles. Not that I'd be able to add subtitles because you can't save the settings. I want to go on the train. I wish I knew what was happening. Oh, down there. Oh, it lit up. Oh, musical memory. Okay.   Let's party.  I love what you done with the place. Okay.  I love what you've done with the place. Wow, look at this. God, the grain filter is just so... Why did they add this? Hey, fellas.  All right, fine. Ooh, green tape. Oh, yeah, I'm supposed to be looking for tapes. Sorry, popcorn. Golf balls. That's not how popcorn works. Oh, so where do I play my tape? Where do I play my... Oh, I'm here. Let's sit back and enjoy the show with some popcorn. Sorry if I've missed any tapes. I've not really been looking for tapes. The green hand. Wow. Shoot green power outlet to temporary, you can hold the electricity. 10 seconds. That's an oddly specific amount of time. And it's going to run out. Will it actually flash? Because that'll be very helpful. When holding electricity, shoot green hand receivers. Okay. To temporarily power other systems. That's great. They're on the same timer. Oh. So they also last 10 seconds. Gotcha. So in all about 20 seconds. Probably a bit more to shoot them. All right. I need a green hand. Is that what I'm making? Huh. Do I need to fix this? There we go. Ta-da! Now where'd that go? Up in U-Dude? Oh, it's making the hands. That's right. And now I add hand. I need one of you guys. You're going to be mine. Oh, wait. I'm not wearing my hard hat. Oh, no paint in machine. How, how do paint? Ah! Need to find paint. I wish I could see. Oh, it's right here. Come here. I need you and we'll put you in there. Yay. Now has paint. Ooh, what's this? Collectibles. Okay. I like that. And now we paint. There we go. It still says there's no paint. Even though it's painting. Now I add top hat. Maybe. Oh, that's conveyor belt? Okay. And now you're mine. Cublamo. And a cublamo. Oh, yes. Here I am. Once again. In the vents. And scared again. Oh, that's just that door closing.  All right. Oh, and now I'm out here. And now I can say hi to this fellow. That. No. That's not right. My birthday is May 12th. It's coming up. Do you have a gift for me? Do you have present? Welcome to musical memory. This advanced memory. Hi. I see you. Is designed to stimulate several seconds of the brain. Allowing us to say ah.  A sequence of color will be shown. And you must recreate the exact sequence. So some of the buttons around you. Bunzo. We'll slowly lower towards you. When you complete a color pattern correctly. Right. Bunzo will rise back up. When you input a pattern incorrectly. Bunzo will lower towards you faster. Why is this a game for kids? If bunzo reaches you. Your test is over. The test will become more difficult. Oh, wow. That's a good reference. With longer patterns. In quicker succession. Good luck. Wait, that actually made it sound exactly like the fitness grand-pacer test, dude. That's so funny. Isn't it amazing? Oh, hey. I can't see you past the grain filter. Oh, hey. I don't have buttons. I don't have buttons. I don't have buttons. Can you go up? Thank you. So can I actually play the game? Ah, yes. Here we go. Red. I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready. Red.

And hopefully by the time I get around to recording episode 2 they can fix the settings. Because my god do I want the settings to work. Please. But that's gonna do it for today's episode of Poppy Playtime chapter 2. Stay on the lookout for episode 2. And I'll see you all on the flip side. Goodbye.


Oh my God! One of the best Mont Blanc fragrances that sadly you've never heard of. Welcome to the channel where fashion meets fragrance. My name is Kevin Samuels, the godfather style and guys in today's video we're going to be talking about this baby right here, Mont Blanc Exceptional. One of the best fragrances that most of you guys have never heard of. If you like these kind of videos, cool, go ahead and subscribe, drop that like down below. Shout out to the CIA.  What are my favorite fragrance notes? Rose, amber, ooh. A lot of people out here love to get compliments and so does your godfather. But when I wear fragrances I'm looking for things to start a conversation. Stuff for people to be walking by and go, ooh, what are you wearing? So good that they want to talk to you. When you get that kind of reaction, you have a great fragrance and Mont Blanc has some of those fragrances. Come on, the new Mont Blanc legend, Mont Blanc legend spirit, the latest one to explore and of course the king of them all. Mont Blanc individual, that raspberry dry sheet kind of thing. Sadly though, this one right here, Mont Blanc Exceptional. Yes, this orange amber kind of juice just kind of flew under the radar except for your godfather. I've always had it in my collection and I wanted to talk to you about it today because guys, I just hope you can grab and get ahold of it before they leave the market. What makes this fragrance so good? Let me read you some of the notes. Coffee, Mandarin orange and lavender in the top. You know that already sounds good. In the mid we have sage, mint and ginger and in the base we have musk, patchouli and amber. This spring is the spring of musk, patchouli and incense. So we got musk, patchouli and one of my favorite fragrance notes in here, amber. This thing is incredible. When I rock and wear this, this kind of gives me this warm citrus kind of aromatic coffee amber kind of fragrance that just when you spray it on, it just goes on your hand and just kind of melts. Let's get into the C3PO system. Compliment factor of my skin. This is the definite compliment grabber. Performance is solid. Four to six hours. This thing is not a performance monster. It's not meant to be, but it lasts a good four to six hours in projection, two to three feet plus. This thing actually radiates out my skin. It pushes for about two hours that it's on my skin. But the sea eyes, the flavor trail is where this thing really shines. It leaves a great flavor trail. The style personality I see pulling this off. Guys, come on musk, patchouli and amber definitely going to be much more of that player flirt. And the occasion I see you wearing this guys, this is a great fragrance to wear on like a date night. It's a great fragrance to wear when you kind of dressed up or even before bedtime, something like that, a nice soothing kind of thing. If this was a little bit brighter in the citrus notes, I could actually see you wearing this almost year round. This could be signature scent worthy because even though it's kind of sweet, that coffee, that lavender thing, it's not overly sweet and it's not overly glowing. The amber is one of the drier amber. I dig this stuff, but like I always say, don't just leave it up to me. Hit us up in the comment section. Do you have Mont Blanc exception out in your collection? Have you rocked it? Have you won it? Did you like it? If so, cool. Not cool. Keep it cool. Keep it classy. Godfather approved. If you like this video, go ahead and share it out to somebody that you think can use the information. As usual, thank you for watching. Thank you for subscribing. Until the next time, talk with you later. Godfather out. Hey guys, whether look, style or life, whether personal or professional, you can level up and be your personal best each and every day. If you're interested in any of that, do us both a favor. Follow the link in the description and book your one-on-one session with me. Details down in the description. Peace.


Welcome everybody to the launching of the UTOX. We're very happy to be here with you and with these amazing young leaders here. The UTOX is a series of events that brings together youth leaders from different parts of the world to have conversations about the most pressing issues to piece today. The UTOX is organized by our youth advisory council that it's a group of 10 experts, youth leaders from different countries from Latin America, from Africa, Asia and the Middle East that are part of the Generation Change Fellows program. You can find more information about the Generation Change Fellows program on USIP's website. The Youth Advisory Council and the series of events also is aligned with the UN Security Council Resolution 2250 on Youth, Peace and Security. You can follow the conversation, and you can post your questions on social media using the hashtag USIP UTOX. Remember that we also have simultaneous interpretation in Spanish and Arabic. And today I'm very happy to introduce Negar Abay, who Negar is program officer at USIP's Gender Policy and Strategy team, and she supports the institute work on women, peace and security. Dr. Abay has an extensive experience conducting research on programs on gender-based violence, women and girls empowerment and peaceful masculinities, particularly in Southern East and Asia and the Southern and East Africa, I'm sorry. So Negar, welcome to this space. Happy to have you here with us. Thank you Paula. It's a distinct pleasure for me to be a part of this conversation in which the agency of youth is centered. It goes without saying that the global COVID-19 pandemic has affected all of us in different ways, and sadly in many negative and disproportionate ways that are not surprising. Just as pre-existing medical conditions have rendered certain people more physically vulnerable to the virus, pre-existing social conditions like gender, racial and economic inequality have increased the harmful and uneven impact of the pandemic. Gender-based violence has increased in all its forms during the pandemic.  Various factors during the pandemic have rendered this violence less visible and more difficult to prevent, including recurring lockdowns, constrained access to protective and social services, greater economic insecurity, and particularly in conflict settings, unchecked actions by armed actors and some cases security forces. The number of calls received from victims on helplines have risen in many countries as have fatal incidents of domestic abuse during lockdowns and reports of sexual and gender-based violence by refugee and displaced women and girls. Additionally, an estimated 64 million women across the globe lost their jobs and a total of over 800 billion in income, which further increased their vulnerability to violence. For some men, unemployment triggered abusive behaviors at home, bringing to the fore once again the need for societies to address harmful constructions of masculinity. COVID-19 infection and gender-based violence are really concurrent pandemics that exacerbate each other, yet fewer than 1% of all COVID recovery plans included measures to address gender-based violence, and women's organizations continue to receive less than 1% of bilateral aid for their programs. The impact on youth has been particularly acute. Adolescent girls have been exposed to high levels of gender-based violence during the pandemic, especially on account of being unable to attend school, the increased burden of childcare and household responsibilities, and being forced into early marriages. The pandemic has also exacerbated the risks for minors of human trafficking and sexual exploitation. The production of sexual material containing minors was widely disseminated during the pandemic. There are approximately 1.3 billion youth in the world and a growing number of countries in which the majority of the population are under the age of 25. Youth have an enormous capacity for promoting and fostering peace and contributing to violence prevention efforts. With youth suffering disproportionate impact of the pandemic and risks of gender-based violence, it is more pressing than ever to meaningfully involve you in prevention, mitigation, and response programs. Youth have already demonstrated their constructive agency during the pandemic in different ways, including through innovative design and use of digital tools to advance their activism and serve excluded populations in stepping up for the next generation as mentors and educators and in forging new patterns of collaboration across traditional divides. In what I expect will be a very engaging conversation today, I hope our speakers will be able to share their own insights on the opportunities for youth involvement, how the priorities of young people can be addressed from a policy perspective, and how youth alliances can leverage global networks to improve advocacy and access to resources, specifically for gender-based violence prevention, but also for larger concerns around peacebuilding. The pandemic has in many ways been a story of lessons not learned, of injustices and inequalities we have failed to address. I personally have faith that with your generation's heightened appreciation of humanity's fundamental interconnectedness and the importance of justice to lasting peace, you will be leaders in affecting transformative change in your families, communities, and the institutions with which you engage. I turn it over now to Sofia Santi, Generation Change Fellow from Venezuela and co-chair of the USIP Youth Advisory Council, who will be moderating the panel discussion today. Over to you, Sofia. Thank you so much, Negar. Thank you to everyone that's been here listening to us from different platforms. I would like to first introduce our amazing panelists. They're all Generation Change Fellows from around the world. We have Tsukena Hamia from Morocco. She's an account manager at the Women in Governance Organization. We have Jauramires from Venezuela. He's the director at SOMOS Movement. And Zuhayla Rasie from Afghanistan. And she works at the Young Emerging Leaders Program. And last, we have Miyashan Kuhtai from South Sudan, and she's the gender advisor in the assistance mission for Africa. And I'm most excited to hear from different corners of the world, especially on how we can deepen our understanding on gender-based violence and even how can we even mitigate its consequences. So first, I would like to start this first round of questions with Tsukena. So from your perspective, to start with a global idea on the issue, how can we navigate and understand the causes and impacts of COVID-19 on different genders and how gender insensitive systems and policies magnify the risks of the gender-based violence? Thank you, Tsukena, to you. You're welcome. Thank you, Sofia. Well, thank you for the wonderful introductions.  It's an honor to be part of this panel. And well, good morning, good afternoon, everyone, whatever you are. So in order to answer your question, I will be talking about the internality of race and gender and how that influences gender-based violence. I will attempt to offer an African sketch within the broader landscape of COVID and gender-based violence, which is actually similar all around the world with very few contextual realities. So it's no secret that achieving gender equality is considered a priority in different African countries. And it's even entrained in the African Union Constitutive Act as a guided principle, according to which the union shall operate. It is also recognized in all the goals of the Agenda 2063 as a core zone of the AU's development agenda, for example. However, the new world order and the realities of women around the world and the world of the continent require innovative and progressive solutions to achieve this critical development goal. And we've all witnessed that in the last three years, Africa has been facing two pandemics, COVID-19 and gender-based violence. We perhaps have come up with vaccines to control the spread of COVID-19. However, none of us is immune to the gender-based violence pandemic, which has become in just a few months a global and a regional pandemic as well. And as of today, it has been proven that COVID-19 has reversed the gains many African countries have made in promoting gender equality, women empowerment, and women's rights. And here it's, and today it's fundamental to keep in mind that gender inequalities have the potential to exacerbate any outbreak. Today, it was COVID. A few years back, it was Ebola. And responses that do not incorporate gender analysis may in turn worsen inequalities. And in the context of COVID, and especially in the African continent, the impact of gender-based violence rages from immediate to long-term physical, sexual, mental, and emotional consequences, and even deaths in the most extreme circumstances. Most common forms of gender-based violence in Africa are FGM, intimate to partner violence, early and forced child marriages, gender-based and sexual violence against women and girls in conflict context, and also gender-based violence in humanitarian situations, COVID pandemic as an example. And since the outbreak of COVID, emerging data and reports have shown that all the types of violence against women and girls have intensified in all countries affected by the pandemic. For every three months, the lockdown continued. There were 15 million additional cases of gender-based violence. And just to give you an example, in the Sahel region, domestic violence, whether physical or verbal, increased from 40% before the COVID-19 crisis to over 53% during the pandemic crisis. Other countries like Tad, Senegal, Mali, recorded increases over 30%. Other Eastern African countries like Kenya, there was a significant spike in sexual offenses in many parts of the country. Rape, for example, have constituted more than 35% of all reported cases. In northern area, in northern African countries like in Morocco, Egypt, Algeria, several cases of homicide have been committed since the beginning of the pandemic. And the incidents increased in the context of the lockdown, especially with murder occurring every three to four days. Another example is Tunisia, where the 87% of the calls that the Ministry of Women Affairs have implemented received reported physical violence against women and girls. So 87% of all the calls received reported violence against women and girls. And this can be explained by different factors. First, women with violence partners increasingly fight themselves, isolates from the people and resources that can help them, especially when we talk about a context of lockdown. And the pandemic has far reached an impact on harmful practices against women and girls, including the elimination of child marriage, female genital mutilation. And due to pandemic-related disruptions in prevention programs, it is expected that globally two million FGM cases could occur over the next decade that would otherwise have not been averted. Moreover, the gender-based violence survivors have experienced limited access to legal protection services. As most civil hearings and case five reception, of course, were suspended. And issuances of course orders were significantly delayed, and most legal and centers were closed, including access to help planes for both women and young girls. And as a result, if first to end, for instance, child marriage can be disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which could result in an addition of 13 million child marriages taking place that otherwise would not have occurred between 2020 and 2013. School closures intensified gender inequalities, especially for the poorest girls and young women who face a greater risk of early and forced marriage, sexual abuse, and unintended pregnancy during emergencies. The pandemic and subsequent measures to address the pandemic have disrupted the availability and accessibility of certain services for survivors of violence. Service providers from all sectors, be it government or nongovernmental, were overstretched, I would say, to maintain services to violence survivors given constraints posed by the pandemic. To give you an example, health services have always been considered like traditionally the first responders for women. And they were, through all the pandemic and especially during the lockdown, they were overwhelmed and they have shifted priorities. And they were otherwise unable to help. And in addition to this, there is the limited access to services that was restricted for survivors, especially those, especially women with unclear immigration status, sex workers, as well as persons with disabilities, refugees, internally displaced persons and people living with HIV. So just like my last point and what I'm trying to highlight in here is that some categories of women and girls in Africa are among the most vulnerable groups exposed to the negative impacts of pandemics in general. And the COVID pandemic claimed the lives of millions across the globe, unfortunately. But we need to keep in mind that the pandemics, this proportionate impact on women and girls, lives is threatening to reverse the hard one gains in advancing women and girls' rights and gender equality. So I think that that's mostly my regards to the question. And if there's other questions, I'd be glad to. We still have another round of questions coming up next. Thank you, Sukena, for opening up this panel. And I would like to highlight this powerful comment you made that there are two types of pandemic in Africa. And I think developing regions also suffered from that as well. And it's quite alarming, the lack of assistance to victims, not only of gender-based violence, but all of the problems that come out of it. So of course, this leads me to our next speaker, to how, as you're working on an NGO focused on defending human rights and empowering the LGBTQ plus community in a country such as Venezuela, could you share a little bit about how gender-based violence was in your community, especially in Latin America? And how did the pandemic affect it if it did whatsoever? Well, it's a pleasure to be here with you. I am so happy to be in such a significant space for you and continue to accent the realities of women and LGBTQ community. As our partner mentioned before, we live experiences proportionately the impact of the pandemic that creates all these humanitarian situations. Regarding your question, the LGBTQ community and all are being affected by the pandemic, a reduction of a considerable reduction of all their rights. We created bigger gaps to access to health services and fundamental rights such as life and safety. And in the case of Venezuela, I think that this inequality and all this systematic violence that the LGBTQ community is starts in the home, it's multiplied on the streets, in the media, in the church, in the institutions, state institutions. And from the pandemic, all that violence was multiplied and also has to do with the absence of rights. The Venezuelan state does not recognize the rights of the LGBTQ community. And to summarize it somehow, we are second-class citizens. Our fundamental rights such as right to life where they act as a justice are hindered because of the decisions of the state both by omission and act. And in the pandemic, all these inequalities and gaps were multiplied and enlarged. Like the cisgender women, the same situation in the cases of LGBTQ community, the family environment and violence was exacerbated due to the lockdown and the imposition during the pandemic. We have to say that there is a systematic lack of public policy in Venezuela. Venezuela is one of the countries with the biggest lag in the recognition of collective rights for the LGBT community. And this also occurs in a context of violence and political polarization and also happens in a humanitarian emergency condition. And we have to say it is the worst in the whole history of the American continent. Venezuela has lived in the recent years of the situation or has data or the consequences of an armed conflict without having had an armed conflict. One of the biggest migration blocks in the story. And in this context, the LGBT community has been excluded from the political response and even humanitarian response. LGBTQ community continue to be invisibilized by the policies. There is a lack or absence of official data and a systematic denial to gather data of the realities of this LGBTQ collective. Going back to women, you have to say that this pandemic has not only affected the LGBT community particularly hard, but there are also subgroups that have been impacted in a more atrocious way regarding the pandemic and humanitarian context.  And of course, I am also from Venezuela understand the complicity of not only having the pandemic, but the entire crisis that's affecting Venezuela. And of course, that literally just like pushes down in the list of priorities to attend gender-based violence that wasn't even indigenous in the first place. And to hear a little bit about the same context, but from a different region, I would like to know about Zuhayla. Last year, of course, Afghanistan, we all know that took center stage in the international arena. And we know, of course, that the gender dynamics significantly changed since then. So I would like to know your opinion from your expertise. How was gender-based violence perceived in your country and how it has changed since last year's events and the pandemic, of course. Thank you so much for asking the question. About violence based on gender in Afghanistan, it's always been alive in Afghanistan. And mostly with some of this violence, our women and girls in various factors have contributed to this situation. Society and culture has never accepted the presence of women in society, in Afghan society, and never accept their being. And they never accept their right as a women in my country, Afghanistan. In recent years, after the first fall of the Taliban, the growth and progress of women have been under race. And women have proven their place in society, despite gender violence, closed their ways and deprived women from many of their rights. With the arrival of COVID-19 in Afghanistan, gender violence started to raise again, more and more. In society, where poverty and war have always closed the ways to progress with the emergence of COVID-19 in the country, its rapid growth and the life of women changed again and went back a few steps. Violence based on gender has not only caused physical violence or verbal violence or sexual violence in families or in society, but also spread its negative impact in external causes in terms of COVID-19. But COVID-19, the economy of society in families falls down in its lowest possible level that it could go. And this decrease caused many women and girls to be deprived of education, their job and their progress. And it's like we can see there's overall in many different countries, but in Afghanistan, it caused, I feel it caused too much the violence to get higher in my country. And beside COVID-19, we did not decrease gender-based violence during the pandemic. We came to another crisis because of Afghanistan that Taliban took the power again and the intensity of violence based on gender increased. And according to the new laws who were enacted based on the idea of Taliban and women were put under more pressure. Schools were closed, deal freedom was taken away and they were deprived of their education, their duties and all their rights. More than COVID is still, we could not manage the pandemic in our country. We even forgot COVID, we focused on our right for women in the time of Taliban. The time that no women in Afghanistan has their right, no women can say that we have, that you are a human being and we have right, they are saying in their home with no hope, with no interest for their life, for everything that they can have. And the idea of gender-based violence in Afghanistan, it is so far to talk about that in a country like my country when it is so hard to make people understand women's rights. Violence based on gender has always taken victims in Afghanistan and there is still no proper understanding of this issue in the society. Although globally this impact has been discussed and many organizations come to Afghanistan in taking the responsibility, women themselves started fighting against it. Again, it didn't work because we are in different crises and when we want to take one of them, another one is coming. And now the idea of gender-based violence, I can say that it is so hard to conclude it in some numbers or some research. It is so hard to have an understanding of this about the gender-based violence in my country. Thank you Zahela for enlightening us on the situation in Afghanistan and of course I would like to mention or highlight what you said about the priorities of the Afghans, especially in the privation of education, that it seems to be the cost of gender-based violence but then it is also the consequence, so it looks like a never-ending cycle. So to end this round, I would like to know a little bit more about what we can do about it. So I would like to ask Nyashankutai a little bit more about the current situation of gender-based violence from what you do and with your work within Africa. Like if you have any successful cases or existing policies that are available for us to learn to try to implement it in our own communities, of course to mitigate the consequences of gender-based violence. Thank you Sophia. Good morning, good afternoon and good evening to all our audience and to the USIP Youth Advisory Council and I'm grateful to be here. Thank you for having me. Before I dive into provisions and policies that exist within South Sudan on gender-based violence, I want to just give a background on how issues of GBV, especially in a country like South Sudan whereby women and girls have been affected for decades in relations to gender-based violence and different types of gender-based violence, whether sexual, emotional, physical, name it, still people think that when it comes to issues of gender-based violence, it should only be about women and girls and not putting in mind that issues of gender-based violence affect both genders and looking at a patriarchal society with harmful cultural practices like South Sudan, it is still difficult for men and boys to come out and talk about issues of sexual gender-based violence that affected them directly. Having said that I will dive into policies and existing provisions that are in South Sudan on issues of gender-based violence in the South Sudan constitution under part two and under the Bill of Rights, there is the right of life, human dignity and also there is the right of women and right of children and that falls also under issues of GBV. There is also a provision on the Penal Code and Code of Criminal Procedures that highlights GBV and other sexual violence related crime punishment in line with that and for that the South Sudan GBV Court has been inaugurated during the 16 days of activism on December 3rd 2020 by the judiciary of South Sudan with support of different UN agencies and civil society with aim of speeding cases of GBV and that's a good step in line with the policies that are existing on the ground on issues of gender-based violence. We have the National Action Plan for the UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security in South Sudan and there is one pillar that is the Protection Pillar focuses more on gender-based violence and issues of gender-based violence and the National Action Plan has been passed by the South Sudan Ministry of Gender, Child and Social Welfare in 2015 and it was a five-year national action plan. We have two GBV policies or GBV bills that on the pipeline already in South Sudan so far we have the anti-GBV bill with the purpose of reforming and consolidating and also harmonizing laws and offenses that relates to GBV including domestic violence, intimate partner violence, sexual violence, harassment, other harmful cultural practices as well as child protection. We also have the family law and it's also on the pipeline and it's being discussed and it's awaiting approval and it deals directly with issues that are related to families especially things like male guardianship over women, issues of dowry, bright prize, citizenship, nationality and also the impact of male authority in marriages, divorce, management of marital properties as well as child custody and maintenance knowing that in South Sudan for example as a woman and as a mother when you are traveling you have to get a consent from the father and if the father is not around you have to get a consent from an uncle or a male from the brother to your partner and he has to be a male and these are some of the things that the family law is looking into tackle because also women have rights you know to move freely with their children within the country. Another thing is inheritance because under the harmful cultural practices we have issues like wife inheritance for example if your husband passed on you are being inherited by another family member in which that leads to a lot of issues and it is categorized under gender-based violence. The status of the family law right now in South Sudan there is a steering committee all that has been in place and it is being hated by the Ministry of Gender, Child and Social Welfare as well as other civil society organizations and there are consultations that are already in place. So in brief that is all about the current policies that exist in South Sudan on gender-based violence. Thank you and back to you Sophia. Thank you and I really want to especially thank you for highlighting that this issue affects everyone it's a matter that includes all genders not necessarily girls and women but also men of course and of course to not exclude all the actors I would like to further the discussion on the prevention action aspect of gender-based violence especially on a global skill so I'll jump back to Sikena. What recommendations can you give your audience in different platforms beyond laws but also for different actors in civil society organizations like local governments or other form of actors that can help mitigate the consequences of gender-based violence? Thank you Sophia. I think that one of the very first elements I would think of is the the key the key gaps and responses and this could include for instance the data inadequacy and weak monitoring and evaluation systems because this is this is one of the things that we struggled with like during during the pandemic is the almost absence to non-existence numbers and data about gender-based violence. I would also I would also like include the gaps in gender-based violence may stream in during humanitarian crises and such as COVID-19. I think that I think that's one of the one of the panelists mentioned earlier at the very beginning of the panel the the the the engagement of culture and religious institutions and sometimes there is like an inadequate male engagement of those like figures who are usually very well respected within their their community their local community that is also like a weak the weak institutional capacity that it's not it's not like strong enough to first support women and young people and second which is even for me like more important than just supporting women and youth which is like implementing and providing those communities with tools that would ensure the continuity of the projects of the initiatives. There is also the the the challenge of the of the of the binary legal systems and in different regions in the continents. There is also the gap the gap between high-level policies and awareness on the ground so for any one of us who have the chance before to work on the field with NGOs and then work for continental or regional organizations like who we all went through and lived and experienced firsthand this disconnect between what happens in the in the ground and what has been and what is being discussed in the in the rooms so there is this too there is also the the weak accountability mechanisms and one last point I would I would add also is the sometimes the inadequate domestication and implementation of international regional and national instruments and laws on gender-based violence it doesn't matter if it if it was successful like in a in a certain region or a certain country that it will be successful and and or fit into the African or regional like a local context and we we need to make sure that that that's that the the policies are tailored to meet the need of the community the need of the people and to meet their expectations and finally there is only one last thing I would I would love to add is that we can all agree especially for fellows from Africa that when we talk sometimes about programs and about especially programs that tackle the women peace and security youth peace and security we always talk about funds but for all those who have the chance to work in in in Africa like on the field I'm sure that they all have the strong belief that Africa is not poor sometimes certain agents are being poorly managed but we have the resources we have the the the the the the financial resources we have the human resources to make a change to be the change you want to see in the continent and maybe it's time to stop talking about youth's peace and security women in peace and security and start funding and supporting in a meaningful tangible and and concrete way those agents and those initiatives because at the end of the day gender inequality causes violence against women and girls and then violence against women and girls affects everyone and impedes development and development is everyone's concerns no matter you no matter what your gender is so I think that's all I have to say and and I would I'm I'm so interested in in in in learning more from the other fellows on this on this question thank you Sakina um I would also like to highlight what you mentioned of the lake of data affects vulnerable groups and the generalization of their situation really makes it difficult for the assistance to be more you know effective and especially in in locations that are not necessarily very important or relevant for governments to or to you know provide more assistance and and you know some of the issue especially addressed the issue of gender-based violence so this is something that has been happening in different regions and I believe in every country of our panelists so I would like to turn to how to learn a little bit more about what especially us youth we can do in conflicted countries where gender-based violence is not in the agenda but many people depend on the assistance provided by civil society organizations because the government doesn't or is not able to to provide assistance so I would like to know your opinion on the matter how can we attend or you know mitigate the consequences of gender based violence from the civil society organizations when the government does not support our activities how are you there okay I think we have a little bit of a technical issue so let's go with Suheila it's a little bit similar to the question that I had on you but it's a little bit on the other side of the extreme of the question so how can we empower vulnerable communities to mitigate gender-based violence like what strategies in your experience especially on education how can we prevent gender-based violence empowering the citizens answer your question it is not about just youth it is about all women and girls who are in this situation according to what I was doing for girl and women and what I'm doing now we need to raise their voices we need to share their stories about what how gender-based violence affect them and how it caused them to be silent and they cannot talk about themselves so here we should be their voice besides this we need other organizations related organizations for working in this food they should come together and find the problems and find a specific policy to end this violence especially in communities like Afghanistan when we are talking about Afghanistan again as I mentioned again there is no one save about their right in Afghanistan I'm talking about all women and girls in Afghanistan so the the way that I can do is that I can share their stories and show it to world that they need your help please support them in any way that is possible and in this time that most of organizations they are just talking about women right in Afghanistan so there is no action yet but we are in in the time to go for actions and never put them behind and go for this that at least they can go for their education and they have their basic rights and with these rights we can go further for more powerful steps thank you um and of course I think something that we can all agree is that education is pretty much the key to solving almost all issues uh in in the world um so I now that we have Hal back I would like to go back to to ask to ask him his question regarding how can we empower civil society organizations to provide and continue to provide this assistance to victims of gender-based violence or at least all actors involved in gender-based violence considering countries that do not necessarily have the support of the government on the matter so how if you can listen to us please go thank you Sofia first of all I think we would have to continue strengthening our spaces to have a more public incidence continue to strengthen our activism networks continue to work on media social networks so that we can strengthen our communities to demand this equality of rights civil rights and continue to build this uh equality movement that continues to give a voice to people or groups that are sub-represented even within our own communities I think that one of the affirmative actions that we've had in Venezuela during 2021 was the creation of the LGBT community community center that was one of the proposals of our organization it is the first and only community center that exists in Venezuela and it was born in the middle of amidst a diversity not just the humanitarian crisis but also within the framework of the COVID-19 pandemic and it also tells us how these movements have to evolve almost was born as a movement here to making people uncomfortable but this humanitarian context and the economic conditions that exist in Venezuela forces to rethink the movement and organize protective measures and the company measures for the people from the LGBT community that are in the condition of inequality this community center was born in 2019 as I was saying it's up to the state the only center that exists in the country and it offers social social attention and a complete series of networks and support groups for the trans community and within serious implications that we had we had to open our in-house thing and food program for the LGBT community this has been done with a very limited funds in the context of the organization and chosen in in Venezuela is adverse there's a criminalization from the state for these NGOs and there are limitations but there's the access to funds and that they they require registration for these organizations in the public entities or even the possibility of opening bank accounts in dollars so all these limitations hinder the reception of funds and and so far there's an awareness within the donors to besten these resources to continue protecting the community of Venezuela and in all that humanitarian crisis context is one context that the rights of the LGBT community is another context but the collective of LGBT and the women revived this this humanitarian crisis in a different way and this LGBT community center experience I like to tell it because I think it can show in some way that activism works that when communities are organized and focused and protecting ourselves there is the possibility of building impressive things I also believe and and I joined this call to continue to gather data of the reality of women's sales trends and of the LGBT community and the impact that violence have had in our lives and lastly I believe that a fundamental proposal for all the region is to continue to democratize feminism that men continue to promote or hand over the power so that women can have more participation and that way we can democratize and reach women especially suppressed women that the feminism agenda isn't only in the feminism of space heterosexual white women but rather build an agenda for women of racial diversity with disabilities with farmer women women in migration mobility and continue to build an agenda that continues to include women and I would like to add what one of our colleagues was saying regarding the need of feminism reach men not just for men to waive feminism as a flag but also for feminism to release us from all these oppressions of this patriarchal system of all the impact that this patriarchal system has in the lives of men and so that men can understand how we can help build a world where women have a place and power is distributed equally among all thank you how and I want to highlight two points that you mentioned the first one is to bring awareness to the international community especially the donors to correctly allocate funds to organizations and projects that are going to create the most meaningful impact in communities and of course also to democratize feminism that's a very interesting sentence that you mentioned and I think that's something that we can all implement in our own work to finalize this panel before I continue with our last question I would like to remind everyone that's listening to us that you can ask questions using the hashtag USIP Youth Talks in all the different platforms that we're presenting this session so please we have a few minutes left but we would like to answer as many questions as possible so to end this session I would like to go back to Ms. Tai of course what what how was mentioning about you know growing our own strengthening networks I think that's also very important to strengthen our own selves and you know continue our education like attending sessions like this so from the Youth Advisory Council and USIP we work to empower youth and always bring their voice to the center of these types of issues hence this event so I would like to ask you from your experience where role can youth specifically youth can play to addressing gender-based violence in order to at least increase our knowledge of it and for the next generations to become aware of this issue thank you Sophia just to say youth are creative youth are talented and smarts when it comes to using technology when it comes to using platforms without funding they're making change in their communities they're raising awareness through different social media platforms one big recommendation is that youth need to be more critical and more loud especially when it comes to raising awareness and leading conversations on GBV I'll give an example of South Sudan girls breaking the silence and that was a hashtag that went viral in the year 2020 where so many South Sudanese girls for the first time spoke about being sexually violated by perpetrators who have not been far who are family members uncles people who are well-known neighbors and so forth and it took one person to come out and then the rest of the girls started coming out and most of these girls were no longer living in South Sudan anymore they were living in different continents and as a result so many young South Sudanese got inspired and they started talking and speaking up about this so I think sorry one of the role that the youth can play because when it comes to issues of gender-based violence and sexual gender-based violence youth are the most affected category so they have to speak up by speaking up so many perpetrators will be afraid of committing the act and for that issues of gender-based violence will reduce also when it comes to issues of funding and resources youth projects in different organizations are being given limited funding and youth projects are not being prioritized while there are some other things or some other emergency situations that looks more urgent than funding youth issues and for me I think youth are the leaders of today and not tomorrow and if you are preparing someone for leadership you need to give that person the right you know resources that they need capacitate them well enough in order for them to be able to talk to take that role so I call out youth to be able to use existing platforms there in different organizations by asking these organizations that they work for to increase youth funding and to make sure that youth projects are being prioritized. Another recommendation also is that for youth to for example we have generation change fellows these are different youth we have youth advisory council and within USIP there are other departments that deal directly with issues of GBV for example we have the department of gender some of the youth who are already within the USIP network can build on into that by asking to have access to these departments where they can have you know frameworks they can have manuals training guides where they can be able to add that into the existing knowledge that they have and also they take it to the to the field and to the grassroots level in order for other people also to benefit from all that. Another thing also is the power of awareness and campaigning especially at the grassroots level youth can use different platforms including radio stations for some remote areas at the grassroots where there is no access to phone or network services to raise awareness and make sure that this awareness raising is continuous even if the youth are no longer on the ground it will be upon the community to take over the raising of awareness of issues of gender-based violence also there is power in campaigning and hashtags youth can use platform to campaign and also send messages across different platforms in relation to GBV and make things happen so in conclusion I would like to say that however much youth are creative however much youth have you know access to their own phones have access to internet and they know how to use it perfectly it's still youth they need support from different donor organizations from different institutions to building and tapping into their talents and also to capacitate them and also to provide them with the right resources and funding in order for them to be able to excel and also fight issues of GBV and also achieve the results that are expected thank you and over to you Sofia thank you sadly we only have two minutes left for the session we had a few questions that our audience wanted to ask you but we'll make sure to answer them in different formats through the youth advisory council so thank you all the panelists and thank you for the audience for listening to us now I'll throw it back to Paula thank you all I just wanted to say thank you as Sofia and thank you Sofia for moderating this panel panel as well and everything that you raise here it's very valuable and it's also help us as well like shape the work that we're doing I would just wanted to highlight what you mentioned that it's important that we are not generalizing the WPS agenda the YPS agenda because we cannot in in quotes categorized like youth or women in the same bucket like there are different identities and there are some that are more vulnerable and attached to that is that we need to continue to challenge the binary systems that are also excluding different genders like for example how was mentioning in Venezuela there is an importance and they're like I what I heard is that there's an importance of not only talking about a youth peace and security women peace and security but also like investing and try to find the the ways the mechanisms to to to support those initiatives especially those who like the funding systems the bank the bank systems are more challenging because they're like a lot of limitations so funders and institutions needs to continue thinking about this and thinking about like including and thinking like these different people that have more challenges as you were mentioning migrants transgender people from rural communities who have less access and that's a that's a struggle that we need to really have in mind we're working on these two genders so I really want to thank us ip youth advisory council the gender policy strategy team the usip events public affairs and communication our a b team to for making this event possible and you can continue the conversation on social media by using usip youth talks the hashtag usip youth talks thank you so much Sofia Suhala, Sukeina and Negar and see you in the next youth talks


But there are those in our party who believe that as the presiding officer over the joint session of Congress, that I possess unilateral authority to reject electoral college votes. And I heard this week that President Trump said I had the right to overturn the election, but President Trump is wrong. I had no right to overturn the election. The presidency belongs to the American people and the American people alone. And frankly, there is no idea more un-American than the notion that any one person could choose the American president. Under the Constitution, I had no right to change the outcome of our election.


Hello and welcome to the International Daily Roundup by People's Dispatch, where we bring you major news developments from around the world. Our headlines? As protests intensify in Thailand, government declares emergency. Criticism raised over the G-26 month extension for debt payment. Members of the Wetsuit and Tribe occupy Pipeline Drill Site, reignite protests in Canada. Union member killed as he tries to free police fire on striking workers in South Africa. In our first story, as protests continue to intensify in Thailand after the arrest of 21 activists and demonstrators earlier this week, the government has imposed a state of emergency on Thursday. The state of emergency will effectively ban mass gatherings in public places. The anti-government protests, which began as a student-led movement against the country's laws which prohibit the criticizing of the monarchy, had seen thousands of people participate in sit-ins across the capital Bangkok over the past few months. On Tuesday, on the eve of a planned demonstration of the city's democracy monument, 21 activists were preemptively arrested when they arrived to prepare for it. The demonstration on Wednesday was meant to coincide with the passing of a royal motor kid that was scheduled to pass the monument. The news of the arrest led to hundreds occupying the monument by early morning on Wednesday blocking the police. Protesters also held a march across the capital with thousands of them camping outside the office of Prime Minister Prair Chanwacha. The government has deployed the national police along with paramilitary forces to subdue the protests. Among those arrested on Tuesday, were student activists and long-time advocate of monarchy reforms, popularly known as Pai Daudin, and the popular singer known as Ami from the band Burbottom Blues. Tuesday's arrests were made at the democracy monument by the border patrol police, a paramilitary force under the national police for border security and counter-engence urgency. The police arrested demonstrators would arrive at the monument in anticipation of the demonstrations that were planned for Wednesday. The ongoing protests in Thailand have been calling for constitutional reforms including limiting the powers of the monarchy, a return to democracy and the dismantling of the civic military government under Prair Chanwacha, besides other socioeconomic rights. In our next story on Wednesday, various anti-dead groups and activists expressed their disappointment over the G20 announcement of a mere six-month extension in debt payments suspension for the poorest countries. The decision after a virtual meeting of the G20 finance ministers and central bank officials was made on Wednesday. The decision to extend the debt payment suspension was taken to enable the debtor countries to use their resources to focus on the health and economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The G20 and the World Bank jointly initiated the debt service suspension initiative to ensure that debtors, mostly the poor countries, amid the coronavirus-induced lockdown in April this year would be benefited. It had suspended the debt payment until the end of the year. According to the announcement on Wednesday, now the countries can avoid repaying their external debt till June 2021. So far, 43 out of the 73 countries have used the facility. The G20 claimed that the new extension would relieve the US$14 billion to poorer countries. They can use the money to focus on health care and a stimulus package for their domestic recovery. However, critics have pointed out the severe conditionalities in obtaining the debt suspension as a reason for most of the poor countries not using this facility yet. Several international aid groups, such as CIVICUS, however, have expressed a disappointment as well over the decision to extend the debt repayment by just 6 months. They have been demanding the extension for at least a year. They have been arguing that many countries are forced to spend more on debt repayment than on health and other life-saving services and they should not be forced to part with their resources at this critical juncture. More significantly, several other groups, such as the Asian People's Movement on Debt and Development, Oxfam GB, and the Tricontinental, which is the Institute of Social Research, have called for the complete cancellation of all external debt. Earlier, a group of intellectuals and political leaders from across the world, including Dilma Rousseff, the former president of Brazil, and Thomas Isaac, the current finance minister of Kerala, had signed a statement in July, arguing that external debt, to quote, had ballooned over the past several decades and had created a trap, leaving most developing countries in an unsustainable financial situation. In our next story, women from the Vetsueten tribe in British Columbia, Canada, have begun an occupation at the drill site of the controversial coastal gasoline pipeline. The occupation of the drill site began on October 13th, with women indigenous activists performing ceremonies and rituals in the area. This has sparked another round of a standoff between the pipeline company, that is TC Energy, that owns the coastal gasoline project in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. The occupation of the drill site came in response to the news of coastal gasoline officials resuming their construction activities on the disputed land. The land is claimed by the Vetsueten traditional chiefs as unseeded land. The construction will begin with drilling under the headwaters of Vetsinqua, a major source of freshwater supply for the members of the Vetsueten clans, who live on the indigenous controlled land. Protesters have argued that the drilling will affect this freshwater source and pollute the river. TC Energy nevertheless is armed with a court injunction that lets it continue with the construction for the pipeline. The company has argued that it has secured consent from the majority of the elected ban council of the Vetsueten tribe. But traditional chiefs and the supporters have argued that the council does not hold the power to delegate the use of land. The construction of the occupation is said to restart a new phase of confrontation between indigenous activists and TC Energy that has been raging on for nearly two years. According to the activists, pipeline officials have already called in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, a federal police force to evacuate the occupation. Protesters have agreed to evacuate most of the campsites that they had set up on the pipeline planned earlier this year while maintaining a bare minimum presence. This was done to reduce both the risk of COVID-19 outbreak within the community. In the meanwhile, traditional chiefs had also initiated parallel negotiations with the authorities over the land status and also held meetings with TC Energy. The provincial government of British Columbia and the federal government of Canada signed a historic memorandum of understanding in May this year to begin negotiations over the pipeline construction. The memorandum followed more than a month of countrywide protests in support of the Vetsueten protesters. It was signed by the Canadian government to preemptively work out an arrangement that will avoid future conflicts in the area. In our next story on Tuesday, a member of the General Industrial Workers Union of South Africa, that is Jiu-Sah, was killed after the police fired rubber bullets on striking workers of South Africa's largest dairy company, that is Clover Industries. Kilsen Manaka was hit by a car as he fled for safety from the bullets and died of skull injuries. Two other workers who were with him have been arrested. As many as 2,000 of the total 6,000 workers employed by Clover Industries across South Africa have downed tools since Tuesday. They are demanding a pay rise of 16% and an end to outsourcing through labour brokers. According to Jiu-Sah, Deputy General Secretary Charles Fahala, the workers were not even protesting when the police opened fire on Tuesday. Instead, they were returning home from a demonstration at the company's depot in Clayville. The arrested workers are expected to be produced in court on October 15. In the meantime, according to Fahala, the strike action and the accompanying demonstrations at different plans will continue until the management heats their demands. He also added that they are asking the republic to support them by boycotting all Clover products. Workers at Clover Industries have been demanding a 16% raise in the minimum wage at the company from the current RANS 5,500 which is around US$330 to RANS 8,000 which is US$480. In May, Jiu-Sah had temporarily shut down the Blomfontein plant alleging violation of safety protocols by the management which led to increasingly positive cases of the plant and exposure of other workers to COVID-19. Now, Clover claims that additional costs incurred on the workplace safety due to the pandemic is one of the reasons the company is not in a position to accept the 16% hike demand. The other key demand of the workers is ending the practice of hiring workers through labour brokers. The company has refused to engage with this demand as well. As for Fahala, an estimated 40% of Clover's total employees are hired through labour brokers. Even though these workers perform the same workers' direct employees, to quote him, they receive no benefits, no provident funds, and no pension. Workers hired through labour brokers do not have fixed hours per week. According to the general secretary, the management rotates the workers in a manner that their weekly work hours fall just short of the 45 hours. This prevents them from technically qualifying as permanent employees of the company. Should Clover persist in its refusal to engage with workers and address the demands, the workers intend to intensify their actions and start a sit-in protest at the company's head office in Rudeput. That is all we have time for today. We will be back tomorrow with more news from across the world. Until then, keep watching People's Dispatch.


The material gathering and engineering journey that is part and parcel of the elite dangerous Odyssey on foot experience can seem completely overwhelming to anyone not intimately familiar with it. If you've been struggling to find your way with it then fear not in this video I'll break down how to use the ED Odyssey material helper app which is in my opinion a must-have companion for Odyssey's engineering. To make sure you don't miss any of our videos hit like and subscribe and remember to click the little bell icon and select all notifications and if you'd like to help directly support this channel you can also join our Patreon via the link in the video description. At its core the Odyssey material helper app allows you to create multiple wish lists of tasks that you'd like to achieve in Odyssey. Once you've added that task to a wish list the application then lists the materials you need to gather in order to achieve that task. Because the application is able to read the journal files that are created by the game as you play it can tell when you pick up a material or unlock an engineer etc and changes your wish list requirements real time as you play. Similarly if you pick up a material that has no intrinsic value in the game the material helper will again warn you in real time allowing you to immediately drop that material thus saving precious bag space. To get started make sure Odyssey is selected on the far left of the screen and then go to the wish list tab. Along the top of the wish list tab you should see an options drop-down menu click this and select create wish list in the dialogue box that appears type in a name for your wish list that has meaning to you. Next navigate to the loadout editor tab immediately below the wish list tab here you can create an entire loadout featuring a suit and appropriate weapons plus upgrades and engineering mods ready to be added to your wish list. Click options again at the top and create yourself a new loadout giving it a name that works for you. Next add whatever suits and weapons you need for your loadout via the two menus at the top. For this demonstration I'm going to create a basic Maverick suit sniper build that will include upgrades for both suit and weapon from grade 1 to grade 5 and add four engineered modifications to each piece of equipment. Once you've created the loadout be sure to navigate to the bottom of each piece of equipment and add that build to the wish list you created earlier by clicking add to wish list ensure that you do this for all the equipment in your build suits and weapons. Once you've added everything from your loadout editor you will see all the required materials for all of the upgrades and mods in the wish list tab. If you mouse over any of the blueprints you've selected the application will highlight just the materials needed for that blueprint and mute everything else and if you mouse over any of the materials the application will show useful information detailing where to find that material where other players using the app are mostly finding that material and what recipes it's used in. Specking out a complete loadout and adding to your wish list is one way to proceed but I personally found the huge list of materials needed made it challenging to see the progress I was making. Alternatively and what works for me personally is adding items to the wish list just a couple at a time achieving those specific goals and then adding the next level of upgrades or mods to the list and removing what I'd already achieved. You can add individual upgrades, mods or even engineer unlock tasks from the list of drop downs on the left hand side of the screen. The overview tab will show you all the materials you own and then allow you to filter by irrelevant ones for example allowing you to see how many you own of each. I found this tab really useful when it comes to clearing out space in my inventory as I can easily see what materials it's safe to sell or to dump. The apps creator has also populated the horizons tab with some useful information for unlocking ships engineers and engineering ship equipment but it's Odyssey where the main focus for this invaluable tool currently resides. You'll find links in the video description below to take you to where you can download the application and you'll also find a link there to the official ED Odyssey Material Helper Discord. How have you got on with Odyssey Engineering? Are you already using the Helper app or has this guide helped you? Let us know in the comments below. That's it for now, thanks very much for watching.

Hi and welcome back, it's Vicky here and I'm taking a break from the seat today, this is my usual daily view but I just had to make a video today and show you a new subscription kit that just came in my house, I wanted to share it with you, this is the pink and main subscription kit, this month the theme is not a cal so I just had to share it with you. So let's take a look on what's included and then I'm going to share 3 cards. Now inside you will find this card and at the back you can see the color combination of this card kit, it also gives you a list of all the products included as well as the name of the kit and more info about it. Now the fun part is that in the kit you will find a nice z-block bag which is perfect for storing all the products from the kit. Before I show you what's in the bag let's take a look at the cardstock included there are 8 different pages, 2 of them are white and you can see the rest of the lovely colors, this is quality heavy cardstock by Basel by the way. First of all you will get a jar of wow embossing powder in this powder blue color, this is a bag of wood veneer embellishments all nautical themed, I'm going to take them out of the package so you can see what comes in this bag, I'm going to use actually all of them in one of the cards that I'm going to share in this video. This is a bag of rhinestones in a lovely rose gold color, really shiny and they come in different sizes. You also get to iron 3 yards of each color. The kit comes with 4 envelopes that you can use for your cards. Now let's take a look at the 6x6 paper pad, these are lovely designs I absolutely love them. They are definitely my style, they are double sided but you do get 3 pages for each design. I will be using this pattern paper for the 3 cards that I will be making today. You also get a bag with buttons, these are glitter buttons in 2 different colors and different sizes plus you get an embossing folder in a really versatile design with all those rays, a really great design for adding extra dimension and texture on your cards.   Also they have many benefits if you are one of their subscribers because you will get 15% discount on everything on their online shop but you can find a link down below where you can see all the info. So I'm going to start creating my first card, I am keeping my designs really simple today, they are easy to recreate, now as you can see I'm playing with a couple of circle dies here, placing one inside the other and I'm using the craft cardstock so that I can cut out the ring. Now I'm going to use the smaller of the circle dies and I'm going to place it on top of my pattern paper and cut out the window.  And it's time to do some stamping, here I'm placing just temporarily the top panel, I have picked the anchor from the stamp set and I'm going to stamp that inside that window and I will be using my VersaMarking and apply my white embossing powder. Now if you are trying to do embossing in such intricate design you really need to make sure that you use fine embossing powder which is exactly what I'm doing here. At the back of the panel I have foam tape so that I add a little bit of dimension and I'm placing one on top of the other, now my card panel is ready I'm going to add some embellishments so I will use my glue there and add some dots around the craft string and then on top I'm going to add some of the sequins that were included in the kit. I make sure that I pick the same size and the same color just for consistency and of course you can leave your card as it is now which is what I did but if you want you can add a sentiment at the very bottom since we do have some space there. Moving on to the second card and I used this pattern paper twice, once I cut out all those blue circles using this die and now with the second same pattern paper I'm going to cut out a piece that's four and a quarter by five and a half this is going to completely cover up an A2 card. Now I'm going to place all those blue circles on top of it just trying to align them. I have nine circles all together because I have nine wood veneer elements so I have placed them without measuring anything you can of course go ahead and make a grid and measure. I just eyeball everything I think it looks nice.  I used my Nouveau Deluxe to stick that wood veneer on top of paper and it worked fine. You can also use glue dots and you can see I left a space there so that I can stamp my sentiment. For that I went with celebrate each day. I am going to stamp that with brown ink so that it matches all the little distressed details on my pattern paper. So I'm going to glue this panel on top of my card base. I also made sure that this panel is slightly smaller in width so you can see that it leaves a little strip of blue on one side. Now I'm going to embellish the side a little bit more and I have this leftover. This is from the previous card which I'm going to stick at the edge.  And let's move on to the last card for today. Here I'm stamping on watercolor paper with Archival Black Ink the lighthouse. I used my Artisa Real Brush markers to color everything and that's why I use Archival Ink to stamp my images so that it doesn't smudge or smear at this stage. And once I color everything I use my scissors to cut out the image. If you want to make your life easier you can leave a white border all around.  I used a craft cardstock to tear off a little piece which I am going to stick directly on top of my pattern paper so I'm using some double-sided tape at the back and this is going to provide a shore. I also created this frame out of white cardstock just by placing one rectangle die inside the other and now at the top I'm going to place my lighthouse. I'm just trying to decide where I want to position this one and I do have foam squares at the back to add some dimension. I used one of the sentiments from the stamp set that says Ashour do think you are amazing which I'm going to stick on top of my card and just to embarrass a little bit more and to finish it off I'm going to add some of those sequins at the sand. It's going to give some sparkle there but if you are planning to keep it quite masculine then you can omit this step. And you can see here some close-up photos of my third card using the lighthouse. And here are all the three cards that I made for today using products from the June card kit by Pink and May. You will find links to everything I used down below the description area. I hope you had fun that you got inspired. Thank you all so much for joining me today and I hope you will all have a lovely day.
