Russian ‘Baby Yoga’ 👶🏻 #video#Egypt Russian PE instructor Lena Fokina has come up with an unorthodox way of making babies strong and resilient, but her method makes a lot of people cringe. Elena grasps the little tykes by their wrists and feet and spins and flips them over and around her head like they were rag dolls. Lena teaches her bizarre ‘baby yoga’ to parents who want to discover their babies’ natural abilities, but some critics say her innovation is actually baby abuse. Videos of the PE teacher spinning newborns and dipping their heads in the sea have been removed from social media and petitions have appeared on the web calling for Lena’s methods to be banned. What do you think? Is it baby yoga or baby abuse? Follow: https://t.me/rtdocumentary

Egypt’s Garbage City #video#Egypt Meet the Zabbaleen, Cairo’s traditional garbage collectors. Generations of Zabbaleen have been recycling Cairo’s trash for more than half a century. They are so good at it that they recycle up to 85% of the capital’s waste. To give you some perspective, a whopping 20 million people live in the Greater Cairo area. Imagine how much waste they produce every day! Zabbaleen’s garbage industry is an organized network of tens of thousands of people, each playing their own part. They gather, transport, and sort the rubbish. Even pigs play an important role, as they are fed the organic food waste. The Zabbaleen garbage collectors are largely independent from the rest of Cairo and live by their own rules. For example, the Zabbaleen never collect waste from a colleague’s turf. They have their unofficial mayor, shops, cafes, shishas, and schools. Follow: https://t.me/rtdocumentary

40 years a man #video#Egypt Sisa is a woman, who pretended to be a man for more than 40 years. She was young and pregnant when her husband died. For an illiterate widow with a child in Egypt’s male-dominated society, Sisa had no choice but to remarry. However, Sisa disagreed! She shaved her head and started acting as a man. She was prepared to take any manual work. Now in her 60s, Sisa still works as a shoe shiner, runs a small kiosk in Luxor and remains the matriarch of her family. “I know she’s a woman, but I treat her as a man, because she works like a man,” a local said.
