that's 1.25 billion people. there are secret weapons and the ones that are heading the call for change. it is now up to us to meet the needs and aspirations. i want to show you the excitement that india has for global citizen festival to come to mumbai. let's have a look, shall we? ♪ this morning we're pleased to announce we launched the global citizens india platform. this is a journey to end extreme poverty on our planet by 2030 and we want india to be a leader

in putting its voice behind that change. >> i make a pledge. >> nothing would make me happier to be a part of a movement that supports gender equality. >> 50% of the strength of a nation should be women. they need their dignity, their presence and their honor in our society. >> as artists my duty is is not only to perform but also to speak on behalf of global issues. >> so it's all about india, its rural and cities of india. different languages, everyone. and music is a language which everybody understands. >> and we're back. ladies and gentlemen, come on now, chris martin!

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. and it is my great, great pleasure to introduce a woman who has just flown from an endia city, she's ensuring proper sanitation. i want to give her an extra hug because i feel like i miss home. like i said, chris martin! he's the lead singer of cold play. i don't need to introduce him. welcome to new york both of you. i can't wait to see what you have planned for my city. >> thank you, priyanka. we are so proud of you, we are so proud. india is proud of you, we are proud of you. namaste, new york. thank you so much, new york.

on behalf of the prime minister we are thrilled to invite global citizens and all of you to india to join us in our tireless efforts to fight for gender equality, sanitation, water and quality education for all. india will lead the global effort to sustain the sustainable goals. over 800 million young, aspirational indians are determined to lead the fight against extreme poverty. m mumbai, just like the heart of new york is the heart of city and soul, it is the home of b l bollywood and cricket. we are thrilled to welcome all of you and we are especially excited to welcome mr. chris

mart and cold play to mumbai. thank you very much. >> hi, guys and girls. hi, everybody. thank you for being here. >> let's hear it! >> you don't have to cheer, that's okay. i'm just in a t-shirt. we're so excited about going to india on november the 19th with jay-z and lots of other people who are on the list. my pronunciation is terrible but it's also world toilet day so that makes sense for those of you who associate our band with toilets. that's all have i to say. have a great day, eat lots of ice cream and do something good.

see you later. >> thank you so much for being here to make sure the global events are an unparalleled success. i won't be able to be there. that's what happens when you have to shoot a tv show for 22 episodes. "quantico," yes. we have our season premiere tomorrow. i don't know if i'm more nervous about that. i can guarantee you the infectious energy of the people of mumbai, my amazing colleagues and of course these guys will leave you mesmerized. so, ladies and gentlemen, god speed. are you excited for the rest of this concert? come on, new york, let's do this a little bit louder! whoo! >> all right, priyanka, thank

you very much. thank you for being here. rachel. >> i'm excited to see rihanna. >> everybody wants to see rihanna and kendrick. >> how about you? >> i hope i can stay. what time will that be? >> you can stay. we have a lot of music ahead and also important issues to talk about. bert, you're here to talk about of all things toilets. >> can you believe i'm talking about toilets. first of all, good evening manhattan, good evening, new york, good evening global citizens. i'm going to ask you a question -- your phone or a clean toilet. i'm asking you that not just for today but every day until 2030. now, you may think this is a false choice.

your phone feels like luxury when a clean toilet seems a given. but did you know that 40,000 times the people in this park tonight do not have access to clean toilets and that an even larger number doesn't have access to clean drinking water. that's why it is an important question. it is important that more people have access to mobile phones than to clean toilets and drinking water. i think that is ridiculous. >> and the water and sanitation crisis is big so what's being done to fix it? >> enormous. we in the netherlands decided to do something about it. last year in washington we made a double promise. in 2030 50 million will have access to clean toilets and 30 million will have clean drinking water. today, no, we double on that commitment and i'm proud to announce another $300 million. we hope that others will follow

suit so that in 2030 across the globe clean water and sanitation will no longer be a luxury. all of you today, all citizens, everyone to reach that goal because if you have this phone or a clean bathroom, it's better to have both and i'm sure make sure that you don't have this phone falling in your clean toilet. >> doubling your commitment to $100 million. thank you for your commitment to what we're doing here. >> thank you very much. wonderful to be here. >> stick around for a while. stay for rihanna. >> thank you very much. >> great to see you. >> nice. $100 million commitment for toilets. ah [ expletive ].

the number of lives set to be affected is $132,970,072. let's keep it up. our next special guest is a champion of the youth of our nation and all nations. for the past eight years she's taken action to ensure our nation's kids and kids around the world have access to the opportunities and good health they deserve. i can't think of anybody who embodies the meaning of being a global citizen than her. so here is a message from the first lady of the united states, michelle obama. >> hello, everyone. i wish i could be at this year's global citizen festival because i'm so proud of what you all are doing to help end the outrage of extreme poverty around the world. as part of this effort i know that many of you have been

raising aware niness of an issu that i care deeply about, that girls are not in school. this year i'm asking you to take the next step and take action to help these girls learn. go to letgirlslearn.gov and you'll find a list of things that can you do to get girls into the classrooms across the globe. you can then tweet what you did or plan to do to make a difference for these girls using #letgirlslearn and join me on october 11th for a live stream conversation with girls around the world. check out let girls learn.gov and save the date. these girls are counting on us to be their champions. i plan to keep using my voice to speak out on their behalf, not

just for the rest of my time in the white house but for the rest of my life. i hope all of you will join me. thank you so much. >> by raising your voice together to end extreme poverty, you are making a noise that is too loud and too big for the world to ignore and that's exactly what this next band has done. are you ready to make some noise? one of the biggest rock bands in the world, metallica!

[ cheers and applause ] thank you to hugh evans for letting us be a part of this. please go out and do your part to make the world a better place. thank you! >> global citizens of new york, greetings. i am bill nye. good to see you all! we have a big election coming up. be sure to vote. please vote. take the climate into account when you vote. now, ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor, please welcome the secretary-general of

commonwealth of nations, patricia scotland. give it up, people! [ applause ] >> hello global citizens! for those of you who don't know the commonwealth, it's 53 countries, 2.5 billion people, 60% of whom are under the age of 30. and at last year's commonwealth leaders meeting in malta, i promised to support all efforts to achieve a polio-free world, a disease which is 99.9% eradicated, but we can't stop now. i encourage all commonwealth countries to review their financial support in the polio program so that we can end

disease for good! and i'm also determined to achieve gender equality by strengthening legal frameworks and tackling sexist laws that hamper women's opportunities, laws that really restrict their ability to own property, to open a bank account or have legal protection from abusive practices like child marriage and honor killing. global citizens, over 63,000 of you have called me on the commonwealth to say that countries should level the laws for girls and women, and i hear you loud and clear. i'm committed to working with

all 53 commonwealth countries to address and reform gender discrimination laws through the commonwealth office of civil and criminal justice reform. together we will prove what can be accomplished when the common ratifies behind the common goal. so thank you, global citizens! >> hello global citizens. no person should have to live in extreme poverty without enough to eat and without education, health care or opportunity, and that's the world bank group's mission. our goals are to end extreme poverty by 2030 and boost shared prosperity so that everyone can enjoy the benefits of a growing economy. every three years our donors contribute to a fund for the poorest countries to create jobs, improve the quality of education and make health care

accessible. three years ago we mobilized a record $52 billion. we believe in a couple of months we will mobilize billions of dollars more than that. but we need you to tell the leaders of your government that nothing is more important than giving the poorest and most vulnerable an opportunity for a better life. >> hey, everybody. it's tamron hall. i'm in the action hub where a lot of action is taking place. we're with prime minister bettel. >> it is an honor for me to be part of the global citizens. global health is something i'm committed to. the virtual world must become a reality. when i spoke to global citizens last year at the festival, we were closer than ever eradicating polio for good.

although remarkable progress has been made, the job is not yet finished. we are readily reducing the number of cases each year but every anyway new case -- so a total of 2 million euros betw n between -- i hope others will follow our lead with small multiple-year pledges. >> so why are you focusing on polio? >> supporting polio erad polio eradication could still be our first major milestone in the agenda 2030 and would be one of the greatest achievements for humanity. polio has disabled millions of

children and forced people deeper into poverty. by eradicating polio children, it. >> and what is your message for other countries? >> to do the same. sadly nigeria, which was declared polio-free last year has reported two new cases. but at the same time it teaches us a valuable lesson. if we want to see the end of polio, we need to ensure every single person in the world has access to basic health services. every single child nooeds to be fully immunized. conflict and security, cultural beliefs about vaccines about ma many. countries like afghanistan and pakistan require our joint

effort. let me reiterate my call from last year to come together and. >> thank you so much. ♪ ♪ >> women and girls have always faced hurdles, but that's never stopped us. we've sacrificed, fought, campaigned, succeeded, been knocked back and succeeded again. in a race for justice, we leapt over constant obstacles to get our rights. women why not allowed, were excluded from education, were not paid equally and had no voice. even the first olympic games

didn't include women. that was then. ♪ i'm going to swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier ♪ ♪ i'm going to live like it doesn't exist, like it doesn't exist ♪ ♪ i'm going to fly like a bird of the night ♪ ♪ i'm going to swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier ♪ >> there are many huge and high hurdles left to jump. the race is still on. every day of every year of our lives, but we will cross the finishing line. no one can stop us. equality. now.

keeping the power lines clear,my job to protect public safety, while also protecting the environment. the natural world is a beautiful thing, the work that we do helps us protect it. public education is definitely a big part of our job, to teach our customers about the best type of trees to plant around the power lines. we want to keep the power on for our customers. we want to keep our community safe. this is our community, this is where we live. we need to make sure that we have a beautiful place for our children to live. together, we're building a better california.

welcome back to the fifth annual citizens global festival. let's go back to the stage now. >> be the change that you wish to see in the world. you can do that, right? because change is happening. just like winter is coming. change is coming. the girls and women that you see on screen are calling to fight in equality, increase peace and poverty and we're honored to have some of them with us right now. let's give them a huge round of applause, these young, beautiful girls. behind me you'll be able to see the pledges and aspirations written and designed with code of girls and young women using

their voices to make a difference. what happens when we all join together to create the world that we want to live in? well, before i leave stage for the last time -- i got to go, guys. i want to see the performances, too. so i want to come in there now. yeah! get out of these shoes, get into some jeans and come here. so here's someone who has an incredible answer to everything i've been talking to you about. ladies and gentlemen, it's my pleasure to welcome back on stage once again ellie goulding! >> hello. ♪ ♪
