problem and i want to say now about our other top story at least 7 children are now believed to have died and 2 adults killed and many more injured in a shooting at a school in russia authorities say a lone gunman opened fire in the city of cars on the capital of the muslim majority region of tatarstan a suspect is in custody right now he was posting on social media shortly before the attack and the motive as of yet is not yet known harrowing scenes there are from our earlier today and we can take you now to that a fateful place in the school where the a fatal shooting at took place to be moscow bureau chief here a shadow is right outside of the school i understand you're e what can you tell us what type of scene have you encountered when you arrived.

well the area around this school right behind me is largely called the called into all flail and police are investigating at the scene and several members of the federal investigative committee war on my flight from moscow today because of this shooting is being investigated on the highest level here and russia the minister of education and the minister of health have also come to cazan today to deal with the aftermath of this shooting moscow has also sent additional in medical equipment as well as doctors and psychologists as for the mood have chorus people here in cazan are shocked nothing like this has ever happened here just over 1000000 people live in cars on tourists come here from all over russia the city is known for being very beautiful and peaceful sylvette fact as the fact that something like this could happen has shocked everyone here is there any indication no it's very early in the investigation at any indication about the motive why this happened.

well as you said the suspect that attacker was a 19 year old man of the investigation into this attack an attack is of course ongoing so we may find out more about the shoot us motive soon but according to media reports he graduated from the school he attacked 4 years ago he was recently expelled from avocational training program at a different school and a few days ago if you days ago he called himself a god on social media and on the morning before the shooting here all to that he would kill any huge amount of biomass we don't know but it sounds like the attack i could have had personal motives for this shooting and yury it in terms of school shootings you know we're not used to hearing about school shootings in russia can you can text allies this for us how common are school shootings. such attacks leyla extremely rare in russia very different from the usa for example and school attacks with

a firearm even rarer because russia has strict gun laws this school attacks that to detect plays in recent years in the country were mostly carried out either with other weapons like with that knife or ammo or with an air gun and yet in recent years however it has been relatively quiet in russia they warn no major attacks no mass attacks security services are very present on the russian streets people checked into the entrances of all larger large shops and shopping centers and on the subway if you have a large if you have a large a back it will definitely be if straight or scams now we understand that gun laws are now under review following what just happened today can you tell us more about . yeah look it's not easy what as i said to russia to get a gun license even though in this case officials say that they shoot a deed have a gun license that's why president vladimir putin the russian president has

announced that the government should to look into tightening gun laws even further . in an attempt to prevent this kind of an attack happening again in the future yuri overshadow reporting from right outside that school where there fatal shooting took place in cars on in that tatarstan thank you for your reporting. i want to ring up to speed now with some of the other stories that are making news around the world. in myanmar dozens of anti coup protesters have marched through the city of young god demonstrators have recently been gathering in smaller groups after brutal crackdowns by the military junta which seize power in february. the european union's foreign affairs representative says north macedonia meets the conditions to start a session talks there's a rebel spoke after meeting north macedonia's prime minister. in brussels mr brough

use it because mosques explains fear of sexual violence runs rampant in this university that's what emily a 1st year english student says she says she knows women who have been attacked and raped on the grounds of the university of warrick i haven't met a girl who hasn't encountered something on campus whether that's caught cooling or something so much more serious there's such a huge scale it's everywhere and i know. for months women have been protesting at the university against what they call rape culture. is one of the main organizers she herself has been sexually assaulted she describes what happened in her kitchen jury duty i had a close friend of mine who i completely thought i could trust he ended up groping me and my kitchen and off the bat he sent his friends a series of voice nights about me that they then played to me about like kind of

how he was looking at my body and how he was so excited to come back to university so he could have his way with me. the students are also fighting against other comparatively small offenses and they have concrete demands for university management a small group of women has been occupying the campus for 2 months. they say may have to trade just cross the line too often and get away with it and no one really helps the victims the university of warwick says in a statement that they are committed to eliminating all forms of sexual violence and they're encouraging students to come forward and to report any sexual misconduct for many students however this is not good enough so the support is at the moment a very very subpar the not seeing what they should do the underfunded understaffed so we want to be if we want to make sure that survivors have enough support after their incidents. they may have to live in a tent and study for exams as the rain falls but female students here won't give up

until the demands are met they also have to change man attitudes about how women should be treated it falls on the men to make sure that there's a responsibility to make sure that you can make the women feel safe on campus by doing basic things and picking up on basic cues emily eisenberg is happy to see that things are beginning to change people frankly ostracize they've dropped out of university because for the 1st time like boys are watching tugging on their friends and like recognising the issue and disagreeing with what's going on she and a friends hope that protest will be heard throughout the u.k. they're convinced that the fear that motivates them is felt by women everywhere not just at their university. break at mosques that were courting their now china's population is growing at the lowest rates in decades the slowdown good have enormous implications there are currently right now 1400000000 people living in

china well that's 5 percent more than a decade ago but many worry that the birth rate remains weak and the population is getting older all the number of chinese between the ages of 15 and 59 has dropped by some percent parents say they can't afford to have big families. chen chen is 7 months pregnant and like many other women living here in shanghai having a baby has been a big decision. the only thing that is useful for us to have a child we needed a certain financial foundation before we could consider it now my financial resources are enough to support a baby as for a 2nd i have to see if i have the energy. which. according to china's latest census its population has grown by 72000000 since 2010. that may sound a lot but it's the slowest birth rate for decades. in the late

1970 s. a one child policy was introduced to stop a population explosion it works so well that in 2015 it was replaced with a 2 child limit but not everyone is happy with that decision. that or the other mother of 2 children although i followed the call of our country to give birth to a 2nd child i actually regret this decision of finance is a good but the biggest problem is that no one can help us with our children but there are. many now expect beijing to change the rules again in order to encourage more women to give birth. but china also has another headache it's facing a decline in its working age population as the country gets older. version

only harder the aging process is obviously quickened from 2010 to $20.00 the total population of people over 60 has increased by 5.4 percent. china is still the most populous country in the wound but it's slowing rate of population growth is raising fears of a demographic time bomb in the future. all right let's talk about this with journalist 5 an questioner in beijing a 5 am so why are people so concerned about this slowing of the birth rate in china now of course from a global perspective of slowing. population growth it's not concerning but for chinese economy it's the biggest threat it's a far bigger threat compared to the trade policy yes because if you have such a mess of aging society and also. 300000000 people who will reach their retirement

age just in the next 5 years then it will threaten to cut off the economic growth and the concern is whether china can reach a certain stage of wealth before it can get old right now it's quite impressive even the last 2 independent china china's economy increased but of already now the cost of growth is he getting and right knowledge g.d.p. per capita is still only 16 of that compared to the us and with that economic danger this of course it's also linked to the political legitimacy off the communist party because they have promised to the chinese people is. economic growth but if they cannot keep their promise anymore then of course also they actually look to the digital to see this in danger. and how sajjan is china hoping to turn this around. well 6 years ago they already looked at the really draconian one child policy but what china has now experience is experiencing this.

you can from the top down approach tell your people to really force them to only have one child but you cannot do the opposite you cannot force them to have more than one child many families now even though they are allowed to have 2 children they don't want it anymore because of the really exploding costs of housing but also the exploding cost of education so what china is doing is they bet on the technological development for example automation that when you go to a experimenting a lot with smart effect aris where many of the labor force is not needed anymore if you go to hotels or restaurants you already agreed to buy a lot of robots who do simple many girl tasks but of course it's not enough the big problem is really the housing prices the education costs and china needs to do a lot more for example when it comes to child care and so on and so i mean in conclusion of this low birth rate and what kind of impact will it have on the rise

of china in terms of its global prowess well it will definitely is slow china's rise but i mean it's still too early to really predict the short term impact because right now many other indicators of china's population development actually quite good for example the amount of you know education decrease this is really really fast increasing the literacy rate is increasing and also the urbanization rate all those affected us which point to a higher productivity and right now they can still compensate this developments and counter the shrinking population but sooner or later it will be really a mess of problem and can't even stop economic growth in china. journalist in beijing reporting thank you. a quick summary now of the other stories in the headlines there right now medical staff who say they're exhausted by the battle against covert 1000 have launched a nationwide strike in france they're demanding better paid and better conditions

a violinist depend on makers like a dramatic cause. and a geriatric nurse shares his insight that experience makes you smarter than when facts from ourselves stuck these encounters were a lifeline during the pandemic. the book is about hope and grief about struggle exhaustion and confidence the photographer is not concerned with the politics of germany's coronavirus response he simply paints a picture of life at the moment of the pandemic virus does for me this is a cross-section of our society a reflection of what it looks like on our streets but that's also the intention behind us book to show people that they're not alone with mr lyon. britain's queen elizabeth the 2nd has carried out her 1st major public and gaijin since the death of her husband prince philip when she opened a new session of parliament the queen wore a dangerous instead of her usual robes and crown the monarch has carried on with
