Dark, dirty and slow, Zimbabwe's
trains, like much else in the
impoverished southern African country,
have seen better days.
Once the preferred mode of transport
for most Zimbabweans, the state-run
rail service mirrors the decline in the
country's economic fortunes during the
last two decades under the leadership
of former President Robert Mugabe.

Gilbert Mthinzima Ndlovu, a
veteran of Zimbabwe's 1970s
independence war and a
security guard at the National
Railways of Zimbabwe (NRZ) for
35 years, yearns for the old days
when trains were full and
arrived on time.
"Times are different now as we
have few passengers," the off-
duty Ndlovu told Reuters as he
rested in a badly lit first class
cabin during the journey from
the capital Harare to his home in
Bulawayo, Zimbabwe's second
city.
People wait for a sleeper train to depart near the town of Gweru.
Aug.6 , 2018

Now the 10-hour journey can take 16
hours, he said.
Not surprising, then, that many
Zimbaweans prefer to make the 440
km (273 mile) journey by bus or
public taxi than have to endure a cold
overnight train ride - even if at $10
the train ride costs only half as much.

sleeper train traveling from Harare to Bulawayo.

The train carriages often lack
lighting and water, and the toilets
are filthy. The signalling and
information systems are often
vandalised and some tracks
overgrown with grass and weeds
because they have not been used in
years.
NRZ is now trying to improve its
fortunes.

But for now passengers have to
make do with a broken train
service.
"Today you can't even buy food
from the train and all the coaches
are filthy, with no water and the
lights are not working," said one
passenger who declined to give
his name.

Women serving on Japan's biggest
warship, the Kaga, are a tight-knit
group on the frontline of a push to
transform the Japanese navy into a
mixed-gender fighting force, where
men outnumber them more than 10 to
one.
The Maritime Self Defence Force
(MSDF) needs more women because
falling birth rates mean it has too few
men to crew warships in home waters
or on helicopter carriers such as the
Kaga, sailing in foreign waters to
counter China's growing regional
influence.

"Women all over the world are working in a wider number of areas and I
think Japan needs to be a part of that," said petty officer Akiko Ihara, 31,
standing beside one of the helicopters she helps to maintain.
The proportion of women in the Kaga's 450-strong crew is about 9 percent,
a level Japan is targeting for the military overall by 2030 from 6 percent
now. That would still fall short of U.S., where 15 percent of people in
uniform are women, and Britain with 10 percent.
"We all work in different teams around the ship but we are all friends,"
Ihara added. "We do sometimes moan a little about our male colleagues."
The nine-year veteran says she has encountered no workplace
discrimination, and would challenge any man who thinks women are
unsuited for military life to work with her.

More women recruits are making the SDF
a more "rounded" organisation, said
Ayako Yoneda, 29, a firefighter and
engineer on the Kaga.
"When I first joined nine years ago there
were few women and it felt like men then
didn't know how to deal with us," she
said. "I think the men now see things
more from our perspective. The SDF has
become a gentler place."

Nonetheless, the women do face
sexual harassment. In July, the
navy discharged a male petty
officer for kissing and groping
three women sailors over several
months.
Japan's demographic woes are
forcing it down a path taken
years earlier by its U.S. ally,
which lifted a ban on women on
warships in 1993.

The MSDF, which let women crew
ships a decade ago, could soon
remove the last major barrier to
female sailors by ending a ban on
submarine duty, defence ministry
sources have told Reuters.

Japan has one of the world's
largest navies, with 45,000 crew
on more than 100 vessels,
including about 20 submarines,
more than 40 destroyers and four
helicopter carriers, such as the
Kaga.
The Kaga was on its way to Sri
Lanka after drills in the contested
South China Sea as part of a two-
month deployment in waters
stretching from the Western
Pacific to the Indian Ocean.

Commissioned in 2017, it is among a
new generation of warships designed to
accommodate mixed crews, with more
toilets and bathrooms than older
vessels.
Signs at the entrance to the women's
segregated sleeping quarters warn men
to keep out. The women inside carry
electronic pagers that can be contacted
via numerical keypads beside the doors.

Those better facilities and privacy
safeguards will draw more
women to sign up, the MSDF
hopes.
Japan's navy struggles more to
find recruits than the air force or
army, as young people balk at the
prospect of being cut off from
social media networks on long
deployments.

Sea Hawk helicopter in the hangar deck of the Kaga.

In 2016, for example, the airforce
received 6,900 applications, versus
just 3,927 for the MSDF, even though
both have about the same number of
enlisted personnel.
Miku Ihara, 22, a woman cadet on the
Kaga, says she reads books or studies
when off-duty, but misses access to
Line and Instagram. Sailors are
limited to sending four text emails
every day when at sea.
"You just have to get used to not
having it and make the most of it
when you do," she added.

The presence of women on board
has had one unexpected benefit
on the men that report to him,
says Command Master Chief
Yasuharu Tohno, the most senior

“They shave regularly and iron
their clothes," said Tohno, who
joined up to an all-male fleet 35
years ago.

Nobel Prize winners
Reuters / Tuesday, December 13, 2016
Nadia Murad, a Yazidi rights activist and
survivor of sexual slavery by Islamic State,
shares the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize with Denis
Mukwege, a doctor who helps victims of sexual
violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
They were honored for their efforts to end the
use of sexual violence as a weapon of war, the
Norwegian Nobel Committee said. Murad is an
advocate for the Yazidi minority in Iraq and for
refugee and women's rights in general. She was
enslaved and raped by Islamic State fighters in
Mosul, Iraq, in 2014. "Nadia Murad is the
witness who tells of the abuses perpetrated
against herself and others," the Committee said
in its citation. "Each of them in their own way
has helped to give greater visibility to war-time
sexual violence, so that the perpetrators can be
held accountable for their actions." Murad said
she shared the award "with all Yazidis with all
the Iraqis, Kurds and all the minorities and all
survivors of sexual violence around the world ...
For myself, I think of my mother, who was
murdered by Daesh," she said said in a
statement to Reuters, using an Arabic term for
Islamic State. Murad is the second youngest
Nobel Prize laureate after Malala Yousafzai.

Denis Mukwege, a doctor who helps victims of
sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of
Congo, shares the Nobel Peace Prize with Nadia
Murad. "Denis Mukwege is the helper who has
devoted his life to defending these victims," the
Committee said in its citation. Mukwege heads the
Panzi Hospital in the eastern Congo city of Bukavu.
The clinic receives thousands of women each year,
many of them requiring surgery from sexual
violence. "Rape in war has been a crime for
centuries. But it was a crime in the shadows. The
two laureates have both shone a light on it," Dan
Smith, Director of the Stockholm International
Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), told Reuters.
Mukwege dedicated his Nobel award to all women
affected by rape and sexual violence. He has
performed surgery on scores of women after they
had been raped by armed men, and campaigned to
highlight their plight. He also provides HIV/AIDS
treatment as well as free maternal care. Although
the Second Congo War, which killed more than five
million people, formally ended in 2003, violence
remains rampant, with militias frequently targeting
civilians. The Panzi Hospital has also been the
target of threats, and in 2012 Mukwege's home
was invaded by armed men who held his
daughters at gunpoint, shot at him and killed his
bodyguard. Mukwege was in the operating room
when he was told the news. "Dear survivors all
over the world, I would like to tell you that
through this prize, the world is listening to you and
rejects indifference, the world refuses to stand idly
by in the face of your suffering," he said.

Frances Arnold of the California Institute of Technology becomes only the fifth woman to
win a chemistry Nobel. Arnold, George Smith and Gregory Winter won the 2018 Nobel Prize
for Chemistry for harnessing the power of evolution to generate novel proteins used in
everything from environmentally friendly detergents to cancer drugs. She was awarded half
of the $1 million prize while Smith and Winter shared the other half. "Some people breed
cats and dogs. I breed molecules," Arnold told Reuters after learning of the award, which
she said had come as a complete surprise. Her research on enzymes -- proteins that catalyze
chemical reactions -- laid the bedrock for the development of better industrial chemicals
and pharmaceuticals. "There are enzymes now in detergents that we use in our dishwasher
and have been evolved by this process. There are also enzymes that can create new types of
biofuels or that catalyze the formation of building blocks for new medicines," said chairman
of the Nobel chemistry committee Claes Gustafsson. "All this you can do with enzymes that
Frances Arnold has developed." REUTERS/Kyle Grillot

As the world marks the
International Day of the Girl
Child, women’s rights activists
point to progress on a wide
array of issues but say more
needs to be done to protect girls
from child marriage, sexual
assault and other forms of
exploitation.

In this photo taken in 2016,
Baby Seibureh, 17, and Claude
Seibureh, 48, of Freetown, were
married during the Ebola crisis.
Because of her small stature,
Baby needed a cesarean section
to safely give birth to their son,
Joseph. While child marriage is
a critical issue in both crisis and
stable contexts, child marriage
is rising at alarming rates in
humanitarian settings.
(Stephanie Sinclair/Too Young
to Wed via AP)
Experts say girls in their first
decade are better positioned for
success than their mothers and
grandmothers were, thanks to
advances in health care and
nutrition, and wider access to
education. But they say more
must be done to keep adolescent
and teenage girls in school, and to
protect them from violence,
unintended pregnancies and
forced marriage, which remains
common in much of the
developing world.

“Poverty, violence, and cultural
traditions oppress millions of girls in
every part of the world,” said Stephanie
Sinclair, a visual journalist who founded
“Too Young To Wed,” which campaigns
to protect girls’ rights and end child
marriage, while offering services to
survivors. . “It is still a global struggle to
have girls valued for more than their
bodies — for just their sexuality, fertility
and labor.”
The U.N. children’s agency says 12
million girls under the age of 18 will
marry this year, and 21 million between
the aged of 15 and 19 will get pregnant.
“Every girl should have the right to
decide for herself, if, when and whom to
marry,” Sinclair said. “To be allowed to
be children and teens, with access to
gender specific health care and all levels
of education; and free to determine the
course of their own lives.”

poses for photos on her roller skates at
her home in Merlo, Argentina. Luana
says that when one of the girls asked her
why she had a penis, a friend jumped in.
"She's transsexual," the child explained,
nonchalantly. That level of comfort is no
doubt in part because Luana herself
appears so at ease. In 2013, she became
the youngest person to take advantage
of a progressive Argentine law that
allows people to identify their own
gender for legal purposes. (AP

The decision to award this year’s Nobel
Peace Prize to Nadia Murad, 25, who
was among thousands of women and
girls kidnapped and enslaved by the
Islamic State group in 2014, highlighted
a particularly vicious form of sexual
assault.
But the #MeToo campaign has shown
that less violent forms of sexual abuse
and misconduct are all too common,
affecting women at all income levels
and across multiple industries. Even in
wealthy countries, women face
persistent pay gaps and other forms of
discrimination.
Here is a selection of pictures showing
the daily lives of girls across the globe,
all taken by female Associated Press
photojournalists.

The Soyuz MS-10 spacecraft carrying the
crew of astronaut Nick Hague of the U.S. and
cosmonaut Alexey Ovchinin of Russia blasts
off to the International Space Station (ISS)
from the launchpad at the Baikonur
Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan. The two-man
crew had to make a dramatic emergency
landing when a rocket failed in mid-air, but
they landed safely without harm and rescue
crews quickly linked up with them, NASA,
the U.S. space agency, and Russia's
Roscosmos said. The Soyuz capsule carrying
them separated from the malfunctioning
rocket and made what is called a steep
ballistic descent with parachutes helping
slow its speed. Paratroopers parachuted to
the rescue site, TASS news agency reported.

U.S. astronaut Nick Hague and Russian
cosmonaut Alexei Ovchinin landed safely
without harm and rescue crews who raced to
locate them on the Kazakh steppe quickly
linked up with them, NASA, the U.S. space
agency, and Russia's Roscosmos said.

Thursday's problem occurred when the first and
second stages of a booster rocket, launched
from the Soviet-era cosmodrome of Baikonur in
the central Asian country, were separating,
triggering emergency systems soon after launch.
Oct11, 2018

It was the first serious launch problem
experienced by a manned Soyuz space
mission since 1983 when a fire broke out at
the base of the booster rocket while the
crew was preparing for lift-off. The crew
narrowly escaped before a large explosion.

separated from the malfunctioning rocket and made

sand billowed up as the capsule came down on the
