with big open for software, we can trade or money without paying for government award winning filmmaker tossed huffman looks at all sides of the complex crypto crypto bit going no change in the internet on sarah ah ah, a major policy shift in china, beijing relaxes, is to child only rule in the face, the falling birth rate. ah, i'm sammy say that this is out. there are live from the hall. so coming up is there . i was prime minister fights to hold onto his job and the rivals joined forces to form a government without him. molly is suspended from the west african regional block

off through the 2nd qu in less than a year. but the group stopped short of imposing sanctions. the latin america wrestles with when to resume the most popular, but least socially distance activities. ah china is relaxing it's family planning rules. so couples can have up to 3 children . that's according to state media. since 2016 couples have been limited to only 2 kids and katrina you is live for us from beijing. katrina. why is the birthright becoming such a critical issue for china? well, the reason is because china is heading. if things stay the same for a living demographic crisis, this is been on the minds of analysts and experts when it comes to tons population

for decades. and that's why we did see that marked change in 2016, allowing for 2 children. but it seems that that policy, the to child policy has failed to produce the results of the chinese government was hoping for. and that's because we've seen this census. now china is once in a decade since the results of this were released just weeks ago and that had some really worrying data included in it. namely, china's population is aging rapidly. at the moment, about 20 percent of all of the people in china are over the age of 60 and not as putting immense pressure on china's health system on its pension system. and it concerns economists because elderly people do not spend as much. and that's really concerned when it comes to the consumption domestically, what the government is trying, working really hard to spur. secondly, china's labor force is shrinking as well. so this labor force, its massive labor force, is responsible for what the future economic growth a china has experience over these past few decades. and over the next few years,

next 5 years, an estimated 35000000 people are expected to be cut from the workforce because they're going to head into retirement. and at the same time, we're not seeing enough babies being born here in china to replace those people who are retiring. just last year we had 12000000 babies born. there's been a declining birth rate for the past 4 years, even after the child policy was imposed. and at the moment, as it stands trying to birthright is about $1.00 children per woman. and that's well below the replacement rate of 2 children, totaling katrina, if the issue for many families is economics or korea, then we'll just simply saying you can have more kids work and encouraging people to have more kids. well, it's not going to hurt, but many analysts actually,

most of the analysts we've spoken to say it's not really going to help if this true child policy failed to produce the results that the government wanted failed to encourage people to have more than one than they're saying how is this 3 child policy going to help any? and the main problem is, as you mentioned precisely the rising cost of living in china, especially in urban centers. but most of the people are increasingly living. they simply cannot afford to send the children to school, they're extremely limited places at the top educational centers as well as housing . that's an issue as well. it's becoming increasingly affordable. and even if you remove that aspect of affordability, many women who are in china are also becoming more educated and more concerned about their careers because of discrimination that they experience in the workplace . they say that it's an impediment to having more children because they're not able to recover their career or maintain their job prospects. should they have more children? i thanks so much. katrina, you there a new coalition is taking shape in israel and it could unseat the

longest serving prime minister in israeli history that with main benjamin netanyahu . and his lecount policy will be out of government for the 1st time. in 12 years. i would apply that credit to james bay's reports from west jerusalem. this is the man who now look slightly to become israel's next prime minister on the right of his railey politics. naphtali bennett of 49 year old self made millionaire here campaigning in israel's 4th election in 2 years. now, the opposition leader? yeah. le pete, who centrist party actually did better than bennett's in the poll, has been trying to form a coalition. but it was seen as the king maker, but as part of the deal, he looks now like you also become the king serving 1st as prime minister before rotating with le peed. his views on palestinians of forthright his openly opposed to a 2 state solution. and in favor of further settlement building. these were his comments

in a recent al jazeera interview during the israeli bombardment of garza. you know, the whole width of israel is just about 7 or 8 miles. we see what, what the turn got into know, israeli is going to give up to then some area and allow them to create a terror state. that's just a few minutes away from my home. would you? despite his strong views, if he gains power, bennett will be constrained on palestinian issues by his likely coalition, which would include left wing parties. this at the same time that the u. s. secretary of state anthony blinking has made it clear there's no plan to restart piece negotiation of the israeli palestinian conflict will not be dealt with apparently for the next few years. and it has to do down only with this really politics has to do with american politics. it has to do with power to me. and politics. members of the international community often didn't like the policies pursued by benjamin netanyahu. but he was

a known quantity. israel's longest serving prime minister. now there's a strong possibility they may have to deal with a new younger leader with even more controversial views. james bay's ouch is era west jerusalem. the 3rd is on for a group of students, abducted by armed men in central nigeria. it happened and again in the state of nija, one person was killed and another critically injured. some player how many pupils were taken, but some of the younger ones have been released to people traveling in economy a by will also kidnapped. fidelis by is live for us from a bu just the 1st off it us. do we know who's doing these abductions? i mean it's, it has often in the past been blamed on book a her arm, the group that it's very name beans there against western education. how the attacks like this show they're attacking even muslim schools, the stomach schools. well,

sammy is difficult to actually have more like confirm which group has carried out some doctrine because the book on her arm had in the past come out to claim responsibility for abductions the carried out. but again, we also have a couple of groups are printing in different areas in other major area and across the central nigeria. so it's difficult and the group has come out to see the responsible, maybe in the coming hours and then maybe start making demand for around some which has actually been like the motor of oppression of most of these gangs that are involved in app duction across the country, are we seeing the trend widening now as while of the sorts of attacks and abductions to include as well people from poorer communities, not just wealthy students being taken

well, we can not being caught across different strategy society because it's not just for the reach it depends on who the target is because we've had i'm groups back on a mission to schools that maybe mostly patronized by the reach of the society. and also we've had communities that are able to our tax, especially the ones where is very little military present. so security practice around yeah, at the area. so most of these communities like take, you know, where do you talk happened the day we had, the community came on to talk in december 2020, where when 16 people were kidnapped also. so some surrounding communities around them have also witness similar adoption of students. and also community people, so the kid not being around, so in most cases the, depending on where they would be, the men have actually targeted and more, in some cases, the rich pressing the contact me family directly. and like in this case,

they might maybe contact government waiting for someone who paid to them and then they will release the students after negotiations. all right, thanks so much. fidelis from a boucher now leaders in west africa suspended molly's membership from a regional group officer. a 2nd military coup in 9 months, but the economic community of west african states, known as a co auth, decided not to re impose sanctions calling on the country to return to democracy. nicholas hark reports from the capital banker gender leader, colonel as see me going to swapped his military uniform for a suit for his meeting with west african leaders. they are alarmed by last week's qu, and after hours of close door talks suspended mildly for the regional body. echo was recent happenings in money have again raised anxiety levels in the region.

and have somewhat shaken the home. many had over a peaceful, successful transition, which will result in the return to a democratic government in molly and ultimately, and hopefully the political stability of the country. the heads of seed called for the immediate release of the former president and prime minister who being kept under house arrest. they also want the nomination of a new civilian prime minister and an inclusive government. the suspension is due to last until february 2022, across his chief negotiator. good luck, jonathan will be back in the 1000000 capital obamacare in the week time to check on the progress made in meeting the demands made by the regional body. meanwhile, the attacks by arm groups are intensifying and spreading along the road leading to ivory coast. this attack, not in the north or central molly, but in the southern region. several people were killed including a police officer when our men fired rounds indiscriminately at

a police checkpoint where the closest army barracks, 200 kilometers away. security forces never made it to the scene. when i am pleading please, we need more security forces. here. suspects may be still hiding among us, and i thought we weren't expecting this. in the absence of a stable government, armed groups are gaining ground, a suspension from the regional body echo us will only further isolate a military june flag that has so far failed to protect its people. nicholas hawk al jazeera domco still haven't just there are peruse presidential square all in a televised debate and rice, but just too close to all good robots. eventually replace people. we speak to some swedish companies that prefer machines the human ah

the, who's the hello right off the bat, we're going to take you to the philippines where dante has strengthened into a tropical storm. it will remain always about 250 kilometers away from land. but at the center of it, we know winds whipping up to about 157 kilometers per hour. and the waves about 5 meters high and it is going to lash coastal sections of the philippines over the next few days. okay, for the rest of southeast asia, we've got the usual suspects. that is to say, the heavy rain falling where it should, but we're getting into some brakes as we head toward indo china. so thailand, i don't really see much rain in the forecast for you this week. showers are starting to peter out across western australia and very cool for south australia. morning temperatures, sub 0, k, often new zealand rate. now, and we know we knew that this system would be pretty bad when a red alert was issued. so we've seen

a 128 millimeters of rain in christ church over the past 24 hours liquid. it's due and these are the scenes in the canterbury region, widespread flooding as a result of just how much rain we have seen in this area over the last few days. but the good news is by tuesday, most of that rain starts to pip it out and we've got a high of 11 degrees in christ church on tuesday. the, the in the next episode of science in the golden age, i'll be exploring the contributions made by scholars during the medieval period in the field of astronomy. copernicus owes this day to these medieval astronomers from the golden age. actually in many ways with the computers of the day, you can use it to find the time you could navigate science in a golden age with jimmy kelly on jesse

oh, a welcome back time. to recap our headlines now. the chinese state media is reporting the government is relaxing, is family planning policy to allow couples to have up to 3 children facing a demographic crisis as it's birthright dropped? benjamin netanyahu rec, or 12 year run is israel. prime minister could soon be coming to an end. rival politician natalie bennett, says you will do everything possible the whole my coalition with opposition be the feed search is under way for a group of students, abducted by armed men and taking that in central nigeria. one person was killed.

how many pupils with taken candidates and peruse polarized presidential election race? i've been squaring off in a televised to base a week ahead of the ronald vote. opponents of pedro castillo, say his socialist policies will hurt the economy. critics of conservative contend kapco for g. maury, associated with corruption from the time of father was president. not an a sanchez is in the prove in capital lima. well, i think this is the most watched debate probably in peruse history, because this is a country that is deeply polarized between the extreme left and the extreme right. and because these 2 candidates got very, very small margin of approval in the 1st round, huge 80 percent of the movie and did not vote for any of them in the 1st rounds. so

they dislike the candidates for the most part, what he has had and has the support of the mainstream media throughout the country radios, television, newspapers, supporting kick off from the muddy. there's videos of people, even raney's and run, run down with more than 90 years old. filming them still saying that it is crucial for everyone to go and vote for money because they are afraid that you will impose communism in the country. that's what the propaganda against you have said. if you're himself a rural teacher who has the experience of being a union leader in that live a very important protest, futures processed in, in 2019 cake. awful. he might, he may have the need of this debate, whatever comes out of this debate. she's like me to perform much better than him,

and it got to define the election and the votes for the 20 percent of the undecided that still are there be one week ahead of, of the, of the run of election. the lead is of a straightly a new zealand of downplayed talk of tension between the 2 nations in relation differing approaches to china. prime minister scott morrison is in new zealand for his 1st formal face to face meeting with just in return. since the pandemic earns government was being criticized for being too soft on china. camera has spoken out and facing trade sanctions from bay. jing wine hay has more from town under before this meeting between australian prime minister scott morrison and his new zealand counterpart, jacinta durn! there was much talk about tensions between the 2 leaders, particularly when it comes to relations with china. the implication was that new zealand had sold out that it was being too soft on beijing when it comes to issues

like human rights favoring its own trade relationship with china instead of supporting its traditional allies like australia. but after the meeting in queenstown, both leaders rejected that accusation. north point and now discussion today was, did i to take the difference in our relative positions on the importance of maintaining a very strong and principle perspective on issues around trade on issues around human rights. and you see that a stroller in new zealand had broadly been positioned in exactly the same place on these issues consistently. as great partners, friends, allies in the family. there will be those far from here who would, who would seek to devise and they will not succeed. because as we've stated resolutely to give us the values and principles that destroyed museums, it's good for the, for the, for that will continue to be the case. so partnering successfully as we've always done, scott morrison, they're not naming china,

but clearly he was pointing the finger at beijing for trying to so divisions between australia and new zealand complicating this issue is new zealand decision to back australia at the will trade organization. australia is locked in a trade dispute with china and has taken a complaint to the w. t. o. after the ging decided to place 80 percent tariffs on imports of australian barley. when you zealand has decided to enter the dispute as a 3rd party, effectively backing australia's complaints, china's foreign ministry has reacted to that meeting id said beijing firmly, a poses foreign interference in its affairs. new zealand has deployed the military to help with rescue efforts in the south after heavy flooding there. hundreds of people have been evacuated from their homes. several bridges being washed away and roads cut off a while. the warning and state of emergency has been declared in the canterbury

region. shooting in florida as once again thrust the debate over gun control and gun violence into the spotlight. at least 2 people were killed more than 20 injured when 3 gunman opened fire on sunday morning in miami, and they got a report from miami police, a cooling this, a targeted and cowardly act of gun violence. investigators say 3 people reportedly armed with assault rifles and pistols, stepped out of a car and began firing indiscriminately into a crowd gathered to see a rap concert. the yellow mark is an indication of how many rounds were fired. 2 died on the scene and at least 20 people were injured some severely. my daughter ended up getting cider mill at us. i don't even know where i can explain how i feel right now, and this is a sad moment. but it's

a time when the community needs to come together instead of tearing apart families and friends of the victims gathered outside local hospitals. the news of the loved ones, please for appealing for information calling the suspected shooters. cold blooded killers were working really hard, but it's very difficult to stop a small amount of individuals who want to go out there and commit murder. and it takes all of us to stop this, and we really have to put the work in this summer to keep our children in our community safe. this laces, my shooting comes just days after 9 people out of california train your were killed by a lone gunman. police in san jose said the gunman had 12 fire arms and more than 20000 rounds of ammunition effects the dam. question, what the hell is going on and united states america was wrong with us. and when are we going to come to grips with this? according to the gun violence archive, the u. s. is recorded over 200 my shootings so far this year. president joe biden

call gun violence in the us an epidemic when it's called for common sense reforms to things like background checks and about what he calls weapons of war change though, needs to be approved by congress with the support of at least 10 republicans, making it highly unlikely at the galaxy august era. miami, florida, in india as largest vaccine manufacture applies to significantly increases production next month. the serum institute hopes to produce 19000000 doses of the astrazeneca job that's compared with 65000000. now, india's been struggling with a shortage of vaccines as it faces another wave of infections. but after recent record searches, it's posted, its lowest daily rise. april south africa is imposing strength, long bound measures, starting on monday to curb

a 3rd wave of current virus infections. the restrictions include tighter limits on gatherings and an extended curfew. president, thir, on the phone as warned infections have risen in the past 2 weeks. tens of thousands of cove with 19 cases of being recorded every day in latin america and the caribbean. medical experts, a warning health systems are a breaking point. this daniel schriner reports from one of scientists. people are increasingly pushing for restrictions to be eased so they can get back to some of their most loved past times. these workers have never been busier. container is among several countries in the region, suffering a 2nd wave of the cove. it 19 pandemic per capita. death and infection rates are among the highest in the world. and the red cross is one that health systems are a breaking point. marcia decrease because today there are patients in critical condition and intensive care and their own respirators in

a common room. or there are patients on respirators in the canteen or patients or in the corridors as well. the health system is saturated. vaccines have been flu to arrive with only about 5 percent of the population being fully immunized until people are not clay to the new advice or therapies have is to repeat what they've been saying with a long stay in doors. and if you must go out, keep your distance. but now more, more people are prepared to risk returning to the activities face, they make their lives worth living. the some here in argentina it's tango thief down is holding a musical protest in the heart of one osiris. against further lockdown and for an end to social distancing. good able to go yet i will say, okay, we believe our immune system needs this, the artistic expression and the workout. we need to be among our community as we, as social beings, there is a lot of depression and that's killing us more than the virus is. i mean i don't

get a, you know, middle tango is everything. tango, sleif, a person without love, cannot live entangle. for us is love, it is 4 minutes of love. it is the most important thing in mexico, one of their most popular, but least socially distance activities is back after more than the years. absent with some extreme measures in place me, a few 100 spectators are allowed into an arena that normally holds thousands and i was excited. of course, i love wrestling i have since i was little since i was a kid, i was running around these facilities, this place because already generations old will mexico allow the sport to return? because a falling cobit 19 rates. other countries in latin america is still wrestling with when they can resume social and sporting events, and under what conditions. and which one there are 201 osiris,

the south american club football competition. copa america is without a host for the 2nd time in the space of 10 days. argentina has been dropped 2 weeks before the total and was due to kick off. it struggles with rising corona virus case is strict locked down. the organizers have decided against having columbia co host the event because of continuing violent anti government protest. workers around the world are increasingly finding that manpower is being replaced by artificial intelligence and automation. many companies and we've now determined to embrace this rise of machines with technologies that break down barriers between humans and robots. pull race reports from stock home. turning this robot on is all it hung you lou needs to do before it turns its attention to him. the research at sweden's royal institute of technology is designed to break through and how people and robots work together. his robot can recognize and even predict

his gestures, and wishes such as pass me that spanner. instead of slowing down or stopping of a human gets too close, basically, i want the robot to work with me. similar as a human co worker to hand me over the right to at right time at the right location, which is not happening right now in the industry. so i wanted to break the barrier between humana robot. the barrier is reduced by a scanner that works out each person's body structure to prevent any collision between metal and flesh. a robot that can predict the humans actions and adapt to them can be a game changer in this field. but sweden, success, where this kind of technology is also down to how humans have adapted to robots. swedish or heavy industry already makes wide use of robotics. work is phase of being replaced on eased, at least in theory, by a generous welfare state. and strong trades unions that insist on retraining when a machine takes over. this office in mama may not look like

a hollywood robotic activity, but behind the scenes or rather in the cloud, robot reporters doing the work of thousands of journalists, sending data on sports matches real estate, weather, and traffic accidents into written reports. it will be hard to say that we have maybe cost a couple of, of journalist jobs to, to disappear. but that is only because they were doing stuff. the machines can do better. we do the same. repetitive reporting. they can do the more qualitative and high level reporting, the reports excuse already for the morning edition of the barometer in newspaper and calmer, and dozens of national and local titles across sweden. the robot is actually one of our most contributing reporters. it's all about having more content to offer to our readers. back in the lab in stock home, the goal is for robots, human relations to be about collaboration, not competition. if we can try to use the robot to help a human operator together,

they form a new team. they can be more productive in the industrial setting. robots may not be able to avoid harming a human body, but it might take a very hard headed employee. stop worrying about robot homing that job prospects full rece. i'll use their stock. ah, i thank you. through some of the headlines here now to sierra now chinese state media reporting the government is it relaxing its family planning rules to allow capital to have up to 3 children? it's facing a demographic crisis as it's birth rates drop. katrina, you has more from beijing. china is heading. if things stay the same for a living demographic crisis, this is been on the minds of analysts and experts when it comes to tons population for decades. and that's why we did see that locked change in 2016,

allowing for 2 children. but it seems that that policy, the to child policy has failed to produce the results of the chinese government was hoping for.
