for mom, so the evening of the lockdown would lead to an increase in pollution and the impact that would have on those causes 19 the news. a major shift in policy, china is to allow couples to have 3 children made an aging population could impact the economy. ah, my sammy's hey dan, this is al jazeera alive from dell hall. so coming up israel's prime minister, find the hold onto his job. and let's go, rivals join forces to form a government without him. molly is suspended from the west african regional blanca after its 2nd qu, in less than a year of the group stopped short of imposing sanctions. and could robots eventually replace people?

we speak to some swedish companies that prefer machine to human. ah, chinese state need is reporting the government is relaxing, family planning, restrictions to allow 3 children per couple. it's a major policy shift from the existing limit of to recent data shows a dramatic decline in both in the world's most populous country, with changes to china's retirement age are also been considered. katrina, you is live for us in beijing. so no doubt katrina, the issue of the birthright is becoming an ever increasing critical issue for the chinese government. that's right, it's hard to understated. this is the chinese government's efforts in averting

a looming demographic crisis and it's very urgent. this policy change is implemented today on monday, the points to help urgent, china's authorities believe this issue to be and that urgency was really underscored, and the results of the most recent census which came out a few weeks ago, which pointed to 2 major challenges. first, china's population is rapidly aging, already about 20 percent of all the people living in china, all over the age of 60, that is at retirement age. and that's pushing immense pressure in the countries health system and its pension system. and from the consumption points of view is all economists say it's worrying because elderly people spend less money. now the other issue with that is that it means that china is work force is also shrinking the massive labor force that china has as the most populous country on earth has really been seen to see to be its power house in terms of its economic growth. and that is shrinking rapidly over the next 5 years. china is set to lose unexpected,

35000000 workers. and at the same time, not enough babies are being born here to replace those workers. just last year we had $12000000.00 babies born, which is short of what the government wanted. and china birth rate has been declining for 4 years in a row, even after 2016 when the government allowed couples to have 2 children. so it's difficult to see if this policy is going to change that right. thanks so much. katrina you there in by 969. china had a population of more than 800000010 years later paging introduces one child policy, the balance population growth with economic development. well, that policy is thought to have prevented up to 400000000 both since it was put in place. in 2016, it was officially replaced, allowing couples to have 2 children. but relaxing family planning didn't bring the baby boom. that was expected. 2020,

china's population reached 1.40. 1000000000 bus fell to 12000000. historic low, almost 20 percent of china's population is over 60. if birth rates continue to fall while life expectancy increases, china's labor force is in danger of shrinking. david goodman is a professor of chinese politics and society at the university of sydney. he says there may be other ways with china to deal with it's demographic problems. the loss of the urban working population to support both the economic and its development and consumption and the cost of aging. those of the real problems with the, with the birthright. but you can, there are ways you see one of the things that worries me about an emergency decision by the poly bureau to allow 3 children regardless of what the support

measures are. and that they may lead to announce, regardless of that, there are other ways of dealing with an aging population, increasing productivity as one manufacturing productivity in, in china is something like a half what it is in the usa productivity thing, the cost per hour, inputs and outputs and you could, and other way you could change things is by increasing the product, the participation rate in production of women and the aging themselves. and of course, one of the things that is on the cards, and we know this for sure is that of the retirement age will go up now to probably 67 a new coalition is taking place in israel and they couldn't see the longest serving prime minister in the country's history, that would mean benyamin netanyahu and his lecount parts. he will be out of government for the 1st time in 12 years now. diplomatic at the james bay's reports

from west jerusalem. this is the man who now looks lightly 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's 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 paid 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 be sure, 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. peace, 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 israeli politics has to do with american politics. it has to do with palestinian 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 base. ouch is era west

jerusalem? now at least 60 people have been killed in the democratic republic of congo. 2 villages in the east, in the truly province were attacked by fighters. local officials say the allied democratic forces or a the f is to blame. the group has conducted frequent attacks in the region in recent years. welcome web isn't going. he says, many local, don't believe the adf, on the thoroughly responsible though. 70 important to understand in this part of the country anytime that there's any violence at all the government, the local administration, and the un do always blame the adf, even though there are actually other groups and conflicts going on in this area. the adf is sort of an internationally recognized scape goat did not respect who they are. they are indeed responsible for many brutal massacres that have happened there, especially over the last 5 years. but we've spoken to several people from the affected

communities on this occasion, and they believe that are not the case. a lot of people on the ground believe that this is part of an ongoing, an escalating conflict between 2 groups over access to farmland. one group from that area, they've been displaced by local militia, and so they've been settled in a, in a, in a camp, farming in the area. the other group has been on the move for decades, moving all around eastern congress, having in the 1990 fled, ethnically targeted violence in neighboring rwanda. their ethnic hutus from orlando, you haven't been accepted in numerous places where they've tried to settle here in eastern congo one and a half years ago. they will arrived in trucks in this part of the country they tried to find farmland, but that resulted in this conflict with the local community. initially, it was low level burning of occasional huts, the old killing, and it certainly hasn't been anything like this before. turkey and greece,

a pledge to take steps to improve their economic ties. the country's foreign ministers have been meeting in athens amid long running maritime disputes. the night members have been as all energy, exploration, and border issues in the eastern mediterranean speak to john surplus. he joins with now life math. and so it sounds like the talks between the 2 foreign ministers when well then the last 3 kentucky, foreign minister said the best for relations between them appears to be during a 5 minute pair of statements. today. the headline between the statements tucker is foreign minister, chosen $2.00 and $3.00 card liquor. the president of turkey, the prime minister priest will meet on the sidelines of nathan. some it's in mid june. that's in the meeting. has been working towards for

a long time now with the competence hasn't been that's a whole this because the relation between the 2 sides have been so bad. exploration should have been violating what greece considered the oral. busy and gas turkish try to get, i've been over flying greek island point. the greeks complained bitterly about when he chose to have that last thing, an anchor on april 15th the, these issues have now been, there's a side. the expectation is that there is good will be my whole to be productive discussion between the 2 leaders in the nation. and in mid june, it's going to it is expected that they will discuss the most subset that issue between them. but in the meantime, the 2 foreign ministers were going to building confidence and turn in

a new leaf and relationship financing, economic measures. one is that the 2 countries will recognize usually the destination measure because it allows her to travel across ford is really another isn't economic trade and industry, which is all the way that is being a deputy part of the level. so there is a jang attempt to be full confidence to be built for real cooperation to be built with levels a well overarching agreement level. all right, thanks so much john surplus phil i had on al jazeera the side effects of corona virus. why south africa the economy has suffered the most and faces a long recovery? ah,

ah, it's time for the journey to winter sponsored by kettle airways. hello. you know, it's what we have been warning about these storm clouds just producing intense rain over taiwan and here are the numbers are just about 2 hour drive south of type pay . so ty chung 173 millimeters over the past 2 days, and we are starting to see the scenes of flooding out of taiwan. now that heavy rain will continue on tuesday as while our plum rains. but it does it dry for south korea and japan and it should point out the air quality in beijing is going to deteriorate. big time in the days to come. ok after the philippines rate. now we're dante has strengthened into a tropical storm. it's going to move northwest up the philippine sea and lash coastal sections of the country, the winds at the center of it about a 157 kilometers per hour and wave heights 5 meters. but again,

250 kilometers away from lad. i'll swear for se, asia, it's our heavy rain. normally where it is about tra, borneo and malaysia, but we're getting into some breaks for into china. so that includes you bank car, plenty at sun, and the forecast this week. and you know, for india or southwest monsoon really ramping up this week, so soaking rain can be expected for the western gods on tuesday. and i want to end in the middle east where i do think that weight will hit 50 degrees some point this week. sponsored cattle airways. i see the refugee means starting again. but building a new life in a new country is no easy drive. witness follows one of the last refugee families from syria to be granted an american visa. from their personal sacrifices to the families priam meet the syrian on house,

just 0. ah ah ah, welcome back here watching out just there a time to recap, our headline. chinese state media reporting the government is relaxing, is family planning restrictions to allow 3 children. couple. china is facing a demographic crisis with a dramatic decline in birth and recent years. and you mean nathan? yeah. who's rec, cold, 12 year round, as israel's foreign minister could soon be coming to an end. rival politician bennett says he'll do everything possible to form a coalition with our position left the turkey and greece and fledged to take steps

to improve their economic ties. the country's foreign ministers have been meeting in athens. the nato members have been at all the energy exploration and border issues in the eastern mediterranean. now prospects for the world economy have brightened, but the recovery from the pandemic is likely to remain uneven according to a new revolt. the organization for economic cooperation and development found south africa has one of the worst impacted economies and is projected to remain. so next year, the resurgence of co with 19 and renewed restrictions in brazil and india have halted . growth of out of her area is a spokesman and director of country studies at the cd that's released this report today joins us now live from the french capital parents good to have you with us.

so how vulnerable all these predictions about global growth this year. next year, how vulnerable are they to what happens with new strains of coven, and with the vaccination drives around the world. well, hello everyone. i think this is the key issue, right? so we believe that this year and next year, the growth prospects are certainly improving around the world. we have granted substantially in the past few months, our forecast or north america and for europe, for asian, for most of the country in the world. but the big on known as exactly that one that he mentioned. so why we're forgetting about 6 percent growth rate this year. and for a more, less 4.5 percent next year. the big risk is vaccination and the risk is exactly the same. so the new strength, so what do we think is the best economic policy right now around the world is

exactly vaccination. and you can see that the recovery that we are witnessing in many countries is accelerating because vaccination, as accelerated. and so what happens on the lesson for everyone is that the fast this, that countries vaccinate the fact that it will recover? of course, the big issue, as you mentioned, is the new strength, and this is why it is so important that everybody gets vaccinated, or at least the more than the majority of people the world get vaccinated is that if we leave parts of the world, unvaccinated, the risk that those parts of the world will develop strains that might have variance that will be that our vaccines will not be effective. this will lead to a substantial blow to the, to the world economy to be coming through. so vaccination at this stage is key. no doubt what. all right, so in addition to what happens with health issues, let's talk a little bit about central bank policy issues. if countries think they are

recovering and the vaccinations are going well, what is the risks that perhaps central banks be become a little too concerned with inflation and start to come back on the liquidity supply in the market? will that impacts your growth projections? well right now the key is that both for central banks and for governments to keep their support of the economies. and we say this very clearly that supports should remain and feel recovery as well and the way and, but support should be targeted towards the most vulnerable and the forms that are in the most effective sector. that's, that's key. however, as we know when we are forecast so that we can see that inflation is coming up in some countries around the world. we know the cost of transportation is going up dramatically. our price is commodity prices are going up at the stage. we still think this is mostly temporary, but it's true that the in some emerging market economies have been

disproportionately affect it, mostly because of the exchange rate depreciation, but lead to a high inflation. and so they have sweat. so we have country like turkey and a few other than brazil already increasing their as their rates interest rates. however, providing liquidity right now, across the world and in most countries is still key to ensure that we're going to have a recovery of these economies. and the world economy itself. so at this stage we still think keep the support, but target is a little bit better. good to talk q a vital pet. ira south africa is imposing strict lockdown and just starting on monday in an attempt to curb a 3rd wave of crime virus infections. the restrictions include title limits on gatherings and an extended curfew. president, sit around, my phone, has warned. infections have risen in the past 2 weeks. and egyptian delegation led by its intelligence chief is in garza for talks with hamas. they set to discuss

reconstruction after 11 day conflict. israel's bombing campaign killed more than $200.00 palestinians and destroyed many buildings. egypt helped mediate the seas. 5 between israel and my son will be looking to consolidate the truth. you're going to say there's in gaza with more and what's expected from the meeting. it's the 1st time that's such a very high rank alpha, the security delegation or security delegation with right to god's us in the time of the president of the sci fi, which is a very significant thing too high life. this time also, i bus. kevin was a palace sign in on sunday, and he messed with with our best and other israeli officials as well in jerusalem. what we have seen like in these past days that these really media has reported a lot that it was the meeting to include not just the long term fire,

but also the discussion about the israeli soldiers that are a healthier and the reconstruction process. and the ease being of the see is all because this strength and also what has been reported the egypt very much wants that the policy authority to be has or to have the major role in the reconstruction process that should join in the gulf the strip. but also is not very much happier with such an agreement to be held even after they do take some kind of visit in it will take a lot of time because the reconstruction process, the method of reconstruction and allowing the material to enter because the strips is not going to be so easy, especially that israel very much does not permit our allow the entering of such

materials. palestinians who live in guns are facing the difficult task of picking up the pieces and rebuilding their homes and lives, including hashem, josha a baba. this is his story and it's national dental. my name is hush derucia. i'm 33 years old. i live in kansas city. i'm married and i have 2 kids. a, i'm a lot. i've been a barber for 11 years. i stablish my own salon in this place 6 years ago and hadn't had sent a lot of and hadn't, hadn't, it was a very important part of my life. i spent all i own to ms. barber shop by invested everything i had to make it one of the best salons in gaza. and you can have that. ok today displaces, become rubble, is good for nothing. it does not have any features. so i decided to do something to keep me going to be able to feed my family and to be able to pay rent after my home

was destroyed in the same building. what does that lesson mckenney let assess it feel especially so i returned to the same place and put a chair over the rubble to work and cut hair again. this is the only profession that i know and have been doing for 17 years now. how do you fall in and i got a bad team slap alarm from a special ed block and i can lift and it cost me not less than $15000.00 to establish my salon and lots of effort. i went through a lot of challenges and difficulties with 3 wars, the blockade and then the corona virus, and it's not easy to find a job in gaza. nothing is easy at all, but we survived it all by them and have a mechanical mckenneth even if it's targeted more than once. i will not give on you know, so many now leaders in west africa have suspended marley's membership from a regional group after a 2nd military coup in just 9 months. the economic community of west african states,

known as echo, was cited not to re impose sanctions while calling for a return to democracy. nicholas hawk reports from the capital obama co. jupiter leader, colonel, 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 closed door talks suspended, molly from the regional body echo wass, the recent happenings in money have again raised anxiety levels in the region. and have somewhat shaken many had over a peaceful, successful plan 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 as chief negotiator. good luck, jonathan will be back in the 1000000 capital stomach during the week time to check on the progress made in reading 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 with a 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 i suspect 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. jewel plaque that has so far failed to protect its people. nicholas hawk al jazeera pharmaca us president joe biden will visit the state of oklahoma on tuesday to monk a 100 years since the tulsa race massacre. then went away. mobile entered the city and set fire to business is owned by black people, as well as churches, tools, and hospitals. historians estimate 300 people were killed and 10000 black residents displaced. workers around the world are increasingly finding manpower is being replaced by artificial intelligence and automation. many companies in sweden are determined to embrace the rise of the machines with technologies that break down the barriers between humans and robots. call race reports from stock home. turning this robot on is all that hung you lou needs to do before it turns its attention to him. the research, 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 a human getting close. basically i want the robot to work with me similar, i think 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 battle and flesh. a robot that can predict to humans, actions and adapt to them can be a game changer in this field. but sweet and success with this kind of technology is also down to how humans have adapted to robots. swedish heavy industry already makes wide use of robotics work is phase of being replaced on east, at least in theory, by a generous welfare state and strong trades unions that insist on retraining. where the machine takes over. this office in mama may not look like

a holiday of 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 generalist 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 robotic scapes are ready for the morning edition of the barometer and 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 at live in stock code. the goal is for robots, human relations to be about collaboration, not competition. if we can introduce the robot to how for 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 to stop worrying about robot harming that your prospects. full rece, i'll use their stock. ah, i'm, let's take you through some of the headlines here now 0. now, chinese state media reporting the government is relaxing its family planning restrictions to allow 3 children to couple. china is facing a demographic crisis for the dramatic decline in birth and recent years.
