after touch down in men's by the roots rejects the accusation was more than this. let's go to brussels and speak to the teacher, please meant marina strauss kind of floor about what the leaders have agreed on. just how serious are they taking this incident? but definitely to taking it very seriously. i think that's, that's definitely what we can. what we can say here, i mean, when you are leaders arrives on monday night in brussels. you could hear a lot of this is unprecedented, or this is in acceptable german chancellor. anglo merkel said that the bell, russian blogger, who is being detained in better rooms at the moment, has to be released immediately as well as partner associates, have diego. and that's actually what elitist agreed on. they are calling on the immediate release of these 2 people. and in addition to that,

they want to impose further sanctions on better ruth and made the most important point. if you've already said they want to see of the, the new air space for better rouge and airlines and they don't want you better version airlines to land on you use like soil any longer. marina, what kind of message is the you trying to send by doing this? it's clearly a message of unity because it was not clear at the beginning if all of the 27 member states of the european union would sign off to dismiss, especially hungary because it has blocked foreign policy decisions in the past one on the middle east. and one in hong kong, and when it comes to foreign policy, you have to take unanimous decisions. otherwise it does not have any leverage. well,

we know that you, you has already imposed sanctions on ben roussel last year that crack down on the opposition there. why do lead to think that more sanctions will have any effect on the question go? it's a package they it, they introduce here in sanction. it's only a bit like it's only a point in this long list of things they want to to, to like post on better route. and i mean, they want to impose sanctions. and more people try to accept more pressure and bella ruth and they also cold in the civil aviation organization to start an investigation. and we'll see what will come out of that. ok. marina strauss speaking to us from brussel. thank you. now earlier we

talk to europe for brig director for the central and eastern europe at the german marshall fund of the united states. and we asked him why it was so important for president lucas jenko to arrest romano ports of edge. i think the primary intention here is to send the signal to all those and they are many ocean democrats who have turned themselves the next hundreds and thousands of people who fled the country for fear of repression over the last couple of months. many of them on now based neighboring countries, especially lithuanians potent on one plus 2 south was waiting out and they continue to network from there. it's an independent media and the police composition and civil society organizations and all those files that they weren't tasty in you countries neighboring barrows. and now they learned that that was about safety cannot take and for crimes. it's,

i think the primary effect regime wanted to achieve, but the standards terrorist fact if to induce that offense of uncertainty. but all of those who are in continuing that from their let's take a look. now the story is making headlines around the world so much money as military has the rest of the country. it's prime minister, president and defense, and the stuff that has changed is all part of an interim administration appointed to oversee a return to civilian rule following a military coup. last year. it comes ours also re shuffle removed 2 members of the ministry from the cabinet. me and mar, states. media have released a photo of outwardly. the anger hung to chill, appearing in court with 2 other defendants. it's the 1st time she's been seen since the coo in february. her lawyer stay the 75 year old remains defiant and in good spirits. she's facing a series of charges,

including incitement to sedition or the authorities in italy have lost a man's daughter investigation or to sundays cable car crash in the l. 14 people were killed and a child seriously injured when the going to the plunged down the side of a mountain near lake majority, a special commission will look into whether there was negligence in the cable cars maintenance. the wall street journal says workers at a lab in the same corner virus symptoms before the start of the pen, demick reports price of us intelligence as saying 3 scientists from china, han institute, 5 ology, well hospitalized. in november 2019. it lends credence to the theory that the pandemic was caused by a lab leak. china has to miss, dismissed the report, because you didn't go in and japan has opened its 1st mass inoculation centers for corona virus, vaccines, 2 elderly residents. it's amos to immunize the countries 36000000 elderly people in

time for the tokyo olympic games in july. but there is a shortage of media medical personnel and covered 900 cases on the rise. the offices of a former tax office in tokyo has now one of japan's fast massive explanation centers. and for one over the age of $65.00 is eligible for a shot. now as you, i'm feeling very believed and grateful for a long time, a year and a half, i was feeling rather anxious, intense. if you don't know who might get the phyllis, i don't care if i get it or not, but i didn't want to pass it onto my parents or my children. but you know, when i think the staff is still getting used to it a bit, but they still got things done pretty quickly. i make my reservation at 8 am and by 826, it was over including the waiting time japan's vaccination drive.

got off to a slow start. vaccinations only began in mid february month behind many other countries. they saw less than 5 percent of the population have had a job with the olympic games being held here in tokyo in just 2 months time. the new vaccination centers i meant to speed up the vaccine rollout, but many feel it's too little too late. when working with we can go, they've done it earlier and got 8090 percent of leap vaccinated by the time of the olympics. and then for sure the games can be held without a problem, but you are going to be the most here worried about the games post. show that up to 80 percent of japanese. people don't want the olympics to go ahead and with good reason. tokyo and 9 other areas remain under a state of emergency. infection rates are on the rise and in cities like soccer hospitals are running out of beds and ventilators. as japan battles,

the 4th wave of the pandemic. tremors have been shaking north kiva province in the democratic republic of congo, following interruption of my mountaineer and google. at least 15 people have died and many more are missing off to the volcano status feeling lava. authority say the situation on the ground is too chaotic for an assessment of the casualties and damage. the very old pictures show a trail of destruction, a community overrun by lava, from saturday's fatal volcanic eruption. hundreds of homes were destroyed in eastern congo. people told of how they've been forced to leave behind their loved ones. as a lover approached me, i was with my husband, he's old and couldn't leave the house because he was sick and couldn't walk. i said to myself, i can't go alone. i went back to at least trying to get him out,

but i couldn't. i ran away and he got burnt inside. when i was sweating, trying to lift an old man who died in the end, i lost my strength when i saw that the lava was coming. now and again, the little menu that many more people are missing since the interruption, the survivors left filled with uncertainty about the fate of their family members and their own. futures has been criticism of the authorities for failing to alert residents in comprehensible how respectable and funded institution like the goma volcano observatory can fail to warn of an eminent eruption. not even an hour before and while the city of goma may have been spared. there's no question these villages to the east have paid

a heavy price a bob dylan is nothing less than a cultural phenomena and he's been a dominant presence on the u. s. music scene for over 60 years and left an impact on american music. on his 18th birthday, we look back at his career in man 3 for the ears written to be performed. that's how one nobel judge describes the music of bob dylan. drawing a direct line to ancient greek poets like sappho and homer, high praise for a man who is constantly defied labels and expectations. ah, philip was born robert ellen zimmerman in the u. s. state of minnesota. he later changed his name as a nod to the welsh poet bill in thomas. but his early music was in the tradition of american folk shots a prominence in 1963 performing at the civil rights march on washington where

martin luther king made his historic speech. dylan soon became a poster boy for protests against the powers that be the vietnam war oppression. yet all the while it was a roll. he fought against you. who do you think is primer only as a singer or myself dance man, you know, may i have your mom you needed it. given to that, anita with accolades persisted doing has received numerous awards from grammy's to an oscar to the presidential medal of freedom. and in 2016 to global shock, the nobel prize in literature fill in didn't attend the ceremony, but later picked up his prize ahead of a concert part of his never ending tour. the musicians started in 1988. after

playing more than 3000 concerts on that tour for over 30 years, it took a global pandemic to get bill went off the road. it didn't stop him from putting out his 39th studio album. now 80 years old. it's still the simplicity and sophistication of dylan's earliest works that remain most iconic, a man and a guitar words and music poetry meant to be performed. i know them. * in my hand, it says d w new to remind all of our top story. european union says it's sealing off all of

the space to bella russian flight traffic, one of several new sanctions targeting by the rule that agreed at the summit of the leaders in brussels. the sanctions are in response to the grounding of the passengers. yes. and the arrest of an opposition generalists. ah, this is he got the news line from berlin up next to the latest business with from what kind of point much want to website at a d. w dot com. i really how much thanks for watching the news . oh, so you want to know what makes pajamas teen just in love batting thing away. i'm not going to have my own car. everyone with later holes and every day getting you ready to meet the gym and then join me. rachel stuart on d. w. the hello guys. this is the 77 percent the

platform for african used to be issues and share ideas. you know, we are not afraid to talk to young people clearly have the solution, the future 77 percent now every weekend on the w. me or the me you agree on new sanctions against bella? risk for the diversion of a ryan ass like to minutes to an hour and opposition journalists to be detained. as course outrage in the west, and now bell emerson claims to be banned from us. secondly, many young jobs because in italy have been forced to put their plans on homes

during the pandemic, but should still be there when it's over with summer, just around the corner in europe. we show you how the greek on the mic enough is warming up post content to be business robots in berlin. welcome to the program. european union has agreed on a new round of sanctions against bella. reese, you leaders are raised after a ryan ad light was supposed to divert to the better or some capital where an opposition generally on board was detained. block is now planning to ban better russian airlines. you asked base as part of a series of new measures against the government of alexander lucas shank. it's also urging other airline to avoid flying over several carriers, including the baltic, has already announced that we're going to do just that. well, this is the 4th round of the use sanctions against batteries since last year the

disputed elections. so i asked been absorbed from the center security studies in zurich. whether the measures already in place have had an impact the pressure to act against the regime, the very high last autumn, given the violence by the states and the pump from sanctioning individuals. as i mentioned you multilateral banks has also had stopped all development project batteries. and lucas and himself has essentially become a persona non grata in the west. however, i'm afraid the barriers in leadership has largely shrugged off sections. it appears more and more that the regime has abandoned all hopes too many times with the way to maintain a kind of level of math corporation. it may simply not care about international reputation anymore. and accordingly, infusing change through sanction is even tougher. but while they have the press, the regime at such sanctions may have signal to the protest movement that the west

is watching and has not abandoned them. but the use leverage is better is limited as we know. some positive measures, such as supporting victims of the regime and strengthening independent media may have more tangible effect. next, he says it will decide the fate and credibility of the country, italian prime minister, maria drug, these 220000000000. your recovery program aims to tackle surging use unemployment while investing in infrastructure, digital services, and green energy. almost one in 3 italian phase, 20 to 34 hours of work with the pandemic. only making a bad situation worse. back living in her childhood room and her parents place georgia as a rela, had imagined a different future for herself. she graduated in march of last year with a degree in international relations. then italy, imposed at 1st lockdown. we don't even have your we would the 1st ones to graduate

on line that is july and she scoured the web for jobs applying to 10 a day, but she couldn't find any work. just like half of old graduates in italy. georgia has since started working as a secretary earnings 700 years a month. put up one moment to get the lead. the situation is that i can't afford to turn down any jobs at the moment. even if i'm over qualified, i've actually done minority willing periodontal courses. to 30 percent of young italian adults are unemployed and the pandemic is just making the situation was known as positive. the easy to begin with now with all the restrictions it season was to get to to use hardly any job vacancies. it's difficult, almost impossible for me that the hospitality and tourist sectors have been hardest hit by the crisis. many young people used to find jobs there and services and sales

people. if i ship today, demick mainly hit the young men and women who work temporary jobs. real problem is that many young people, when they finish school, lack the skills that are in demand on the job market. i mean, that's been the biggest metcalf level, let you know a country we lack applied science training and apprenticeships like they have in germany, cause i can reach my ledger man in quest of experts say young people need a good apprenticeship scheme to offer qualifications to school leavers, but at present 3000000 italians under 35 or neither studying nor working. but you know, my impression that number the highest in europe, that's human capital, that's not being utilized. as i said, it really needs it to proceed with them. i know they have been in the target, at least to georgia, is a rella has a job, even if she had her hopes set on a different kind of korea. it's not easy being young in italy,

especially during the long years the pandemic. now let's take a look at some of the other business stories making the headlines, preliminary data. the pandemic continue to weigh on the german economy. the 1st part of the federal statistics office says g d p. contract at 1.7 percent compared to the previous 3 months. the service sector was hit hard by a shop drop in private consumption. cold weather also disrupted the construction industry. russia communications watchdog have given google 24 hours to delete what it costs prohibited content or be find the flags. videos contain information on drugs or violent material from what it describes as extremist organizations. for a repeat offense, it could be find a 10 percent of its total annual revenue. john is, while way is planning to expand the software business is us sanctions fruitful with

hardware operations? according to an internal memo, by voices washington needed to blacklist while way of spying and cuts off. his access to us made chips and software that are crucial. small business bitcoin finished on monday after losing nearly a quarter of its value in the week to sunday. the we can testify must tweet that he support script. ok. is company's decision to cancel bitcoin acceptance contribution to the recent hall and prices. oh my let's cross to our wall street correspondence. sabrina kessler. good to have you on. it's been a crazy couple of weeks for bitcoin, isn't it? yeah, absolutely. i mean, we all know, i know that script or currency is not quite walton, so it's not too surprising that big point must almost the 13th of last week. what's new though? are the reasons behind these ups and downs,

and that's certainly something which is truly concerning for investors. you already said it, it was, you must who started all this like about to 2 weeks ago. i guess you said that the tesla won't accept and find you a big point and citing climate concerns them last week. it was a job by the u. s. the president proposing new tax plans which could affect to be on transactions over $10000.00 or more. but mostly it have been china, which re, rental at the markets not only by saying that banks and payment companies are not bad to process big contract section. but also by not allowing minding activities in the future anymore. that's something which track down because almost to a $30000.00 on sunday it's, it's now off, as you said. but investors are still concerned and nervous because the china, especially it's infrastructure and it's demand has been crucial for the success of

before. yeah. is there anything, it's just that a period of calm is coming anytime soon with bitcoin prices. i mean, i can only get the air, but i think it will remain a pretty bumpy road ahead for you. because in the short term, there is certainly more regulatory pressure to come, not only from china, but also from the u. s. and the european union, we thought today the 1st time use a company who suspended their mining activities, which is really a huge step back for big cars because 70 percent of all because our mind in china. so that's kind of the base for the whole sector. and also like if we m c, or if we take a look onto the momentum signals, especially the futures, we don't see many investors right now willing to buy a bit coins, which are worth more than 40000 dollars. so that's something j. p. morgan told us so yeah, it will be certainly rolling across the right within the next month. yeah. and

let's see what's going to be here. we'll, sabrina cast or new york thanks now for dismal year of lock downs and travel restrictions. york holiday destinations are anxiously waiting for visitors to refuel their economy. greece began welcoming tourist again earlier this month, but expects business levels to be just half that of a normal summer season. for reports from the island of mac, tourists are heading back. it can't be compared to may 2 years ago, but still making notes remains relatively quiet. foreign guests haven't arrived yet, but european are gearing up for their post marked down freedom to travel to be i mean, unless i'm on vacation and we can host with a colleague. we both work in the same hospital. and we've had a tough here because of cove. it now we just want to relax. i think my political name onto my music is still banned in restaurants and bars. the party jets it

hasn't come back yet. it's not on the financial loss. generally going on, every bar is a party and we were partying a lot, everyone coming here to have fun and to be connecting with more people. so this is a very strange situation for all the fun businesses here. last 70 percent of their income in 2020. in 2021. they can only hope for at least half of what they earned last year. this season has just begun special prices or attracting families, as well as those who want to enjoy some quiet time. last year, prime minister curiosity talkies campaigned for less mass tourism and more sustainability in greece for islands like meeker knows which live, exclusively from tourism. it's a difficult balance one to receive a lot of storage of course because mickland was, is a huge tourism industry. but we want to do it with respect to our care

and the nature of the island, the color over the island and the lives of the residents. the locals hope that everything stays that way, especially when the port visits from cruise ships start again. until then, visitors can experience a completely different you can knows one that's romantically quiet. from in the business team here in berlin from or to check out our website either way dot com slash business. you can also check it out on facebook and twitter. the booming business in facility argosy, an ag donation updated in germany, but elsewhere in europe, they are legal. german couples and that driven travels european countries. a well organized industry and waste

dw. the corona season comes to an end of the brand of lord. despite the circumstances that go coming, leading up to a thrilling finale the last day of a memorable season. 60 minutes on d. w. ah. please listen carefully. don't know how to go.

i feel the magic. the discover the world around you subscribe to w documentary on you to one in 6 couples in germany, find they're unable to have children. it was the worst thing i could have imagined . i thought that i might never have a child. i think we should judge people options such as target c o using donor eggs are illegal in germany. so when all else fails, many couple seek help abroad. it's

a huge had to everything has been criminalized in germany. elsewhere it's become a multi $1000000000.00 industry, as you need us to be. the people who do these things aren't criminal. these are just procedures that help people fulfill the dream of having children when we and kingdoms, if, when the many of the, sorry goods and jonas are acting out of financial need. me. person. i'm in the but i mean, i mean $900.00 euro that's nearly twice in a month. gotcha. we are going to do nation and sorry to see our lucrative business in europe at what cost. francisco fab. i always wanted children, but it just never works. like too many, she exhausted all the legal options,

the reproductive medicine in germany. the whole 9 treatments was tied to blackouts and injure herself. but even that didn't deter her. this is a foster alarm from i'm leaving the thought of not having children was so horrific to me. that no matter what back i suffered, i'd pick my cell phone to reactivate my hope and try the next thing. and so gradually we widened the limits that we were prepared to go to and said we'd try again. with a donated egg, she could have probably got pregnant in germany. it's illegal. she could have got the treatment abroad and faced no legal consequences, but her conscience wouldn't let her do it about either danesh, every one who doesn't get pregnant in the normal way, so to speak. suddenly faces ethical questions. and in the end, you have to be able to look at yourself in the mirror and live with your decision. that's me. on speaker in the child come much is possible medically,

but remains ethically controversial. egg donation is legal in many western countries and a handful of cunning. now surrogacy 2 in germany, only the standard fertility treatments are allows heavy but can finish heads up a fertility treatment center. one of more than a $130.00 in germany. it's been more than 40 years since the birth of the 1st test you baby as the procedure was initially dubbed medicine has come a long way since then. in vitro fertilization is now standard $110000.00 ivy f cycles that performed in germany alone. each year, germany also allows sperm donation and past additional legislation in 2018 that egg donation is not allowed. that involves taking the egg of another woman during i v f treatment. the embryo was then transferred to the prospective mother. some cassie

is also banned here. another woman is artificially inseminated and carries the baby to turn on behalf of the parents. the embryos stems from the sperm and egg of the prospective parents ordonez. 2 years ago, germany strengths and it's a donation knows the legal constraints placed on these procedures have been hotly contested. for years. germany's national academy of sciences has long criticized the restrictions which are based on a law dating back to 1991. there's most of the natal desire to bring us up and say, i have a 38 year old female patient who is no longer producing eggs. there's a medical side to the case and a psychological and emotional one. i have to tell her this, even when i began, she probably won't get pregnant using a donor egg would be an option for her. but i can't advise her on that. otherwise the state prosecutor will come knocking off and like on does, is felicia. he says, every year, thousands of women seek help abroad for

a handful of countries. it's become a lucrative industry. the vice president is all the worst cases of the all lucy packages. and it's like we're going on a nice holiday and we'll get pregnant in the process. or maybe not on this. it's mixed with commercial interest. comments and trade fans have even sprung up in germany like this one in cologne. now scared for the panoramic look down to, to illegal loophole clinics from abroad. can advertise fertility services here. the to actually illegal in germany were not allowed to film during the opening hours in order to protect the privacy of members of the public attending the fast. there are also clinics here advertising surrogacy, the number one choice for those that can afford it. of the american clinic slab prices, surrogacy start at 830000 euros. those with

a smaller budget can opt for a ukrainian clinic where the baby package costs 64000 euros some even guarantee a baby. one clinic made headlines last year when around a 100 newborns were stranded in kiev because look down measures prevented parents from connecting them. the images that were published by the clinic to increase pressure on the government were beamed around the world. shortly afterwards, parents from abroad were able to collect the infants. the case triggered an international debate on the ethics of, sorry to see the practices legal in some european countries to including the u. k, austria and denmark. but only if it's actually stick and not driven by money. grease goes a step further and announce clinics to offer surrogacy to international clients. selena and her husband decided to seek help in greece. we've changed her name. she

wishes to remain anonymous because of the social stigma involved. she says even her friends have criticized her. obviously, you can't question the morality of it. some say it's abusing another woman's body. but for me that i might never have a child was the worst thing i could have imagined. i think we shouldn't judge people many struggle with the decision to use the sarah good. because if the ethical questions and the cost involved us or canada would have been our 1st choice, they felt like the safest options, but we just couldn't afford it. then there was ukraine, which would have been the cheapest. but we didn't have a good feeling about it. so greece was the middle path. it was affordable, and we felt that it was legally well regulated. and the sort of guess were well cared for. laner and her husband were actually half way through

the procedure when lameness suddenly got pregnant. naturally, back to the trade fair. i've arranged to meet with a doctor from a clinic in greece. he's helped a number of german couples, have a baby through surrogacy. so what motivates the salary? got mothers, he goes through a pregnancy for a couple. she's never met. mandavi's a movie. you shouldn't underestimate people's desire to help others. as a doctor working in this area as a way, i always tried to understand why a woman would decide to do the dentist. and over the years, i've noticed that the desire to help other couples is a very powerful motivation. and in my positive friends and say ok, i bet it's a sense. okay. but another incentive for the salary gets is the financial compensation that they get from this. if it is illegal, to be honest, i would disagree mine if my experience has shown that money doesn't play

a major role in these cases, these, i guess it's kind of goes on the streets. okay. that you talked about compensation, 10000 euro. that's all that's legally fixed. real money and grace willing to sell it out. i don't think that all women would undergo this procedure and it's not about the money. okay, all right, this is okay, but isn't it the case that a business model has developed figure because there's money involved. i'm scared, isn't that? you know, as a doctor who's been involved in reproductive medicine for more than 20 years, i can assure you that it is not a form of business feelings homeless. and again, it's a form of medical care line and help him. so that makes people happy, has to be in the low tech literature. but is it really just about making others happy? i decide to head to greece to find out for myself. every year, some $200.00 babies are born in greece to, sorry, goods. the law permits the practice as long as it's actually stick back during the

national economic crisis started in 2009 greece began promoting medical tourism to generate income. in 2013 athens open surrogacy to international patients. since then, childless couples have come from all over the world, but there appears to be no independent checks into the welfare of the salary, gets my contacts on the ground. can't even put me in touch with any experts in this area. but i can speak to someone who wants to be a surrogate. she asked not to be filmed. a clinic has told her she can sign up for surrogacy won't say youngest child is a little older. she's a single parent with 3 children, but emphasizes repeatedly that her motivation is merely to help. she dismisses all talk of possible health risks. someone's god sees us. and when you're doing something good, maybe the next day those good things will return to you. she has no job. the family

of 4 lives from child benefits, 280 years. a months in all sorrow gets, are allowed to receive 10000 euros in compensation. but she tells us to some involved a much higher. she's been told 30000 and that's a good start in life. 30000 euros. $30000.00 heroes would be a loss of money. a powerful incentive. i joined forces with another journalist in flight of the greek island. discreet, where we're going to poses a couple in their mid to late forty's, who are desperate to have children. greece offers parents that use surrogacy an advantage. a court process guarantees them the parental rights. before the pregnancy begins. we inquire into fertility clinic and get an appointment right away, but obviously we can't take a camera and a doctor and his assistant told us that couples from all over the world managed to

have babies here, evidently for loss of money. the cost for us would be between 788-5000 euros of which 222-5000 would go to the salary good. and he says, we shouldn't try to develop any emotional bond with the surrogate. she was mainly doing it for the money because it was incredible. he said right away, she was doing it for the money. she gets up to a 1000 euros a month, which she allowed to get done, but then another 121-5000 euros. when the baby is delivered of a violent, yes, the doctor and the assistant said this hurricane gets another 121-5000 heroes at 1st. it doesn't sound battle touristic. of michigan. i repose our experiences to someone from the body responsible for drawing up greek floor in this area. catch us enough, one to duckie is vice president of the national authority of assisted reproduction

. i tell her that we've heard from multiple sources that, sorry, gets the motivated by the money and may receive 20 or even 30000 euros. it's totally legal because the amount of money he could receive is $10000.00. okay. $20000.00 isn't plenty of his payment and the payment, of course, would be against morality would be against human dignity could not be allowed to the contrary. sylvia, on availability of the human body. i tell her that his perspective parents were supposed to pay up to 85000 heroes. 80. yes. 80. 858-5000. yes. i mean, i learn things from you. this is not possible. this is, this is extraordinary, extraordinary on law and i've never heard so i'm. 7 shocked when i'm very

sorry. they read foreigners like that because we didn't mean that when we said that work was open, the great clinic for reproductive tourism. we didn't mean that we should, they should explode. people getting the newfound to darky promises to have the case followed up. some clinics have clearly turned surrogacy into a business. but what about the practice of a donation that's much cheaper than surrogacy? every year, several 1000 couples from germany go abroad to use donor eggs. the number one destination in europe. so this service is spain here too. it's supposed to be actually stick clinics across the country, use thousands of donor eggs in fertility treatments every year and the trend is increasing. but what does that involve for the donors and who profits?

i visit to fertility clinics. it's very popular and german 4 and a doctor from austria is responsible for german speaking patients. yes, i have 3 initial contact me times a day on the face of those around 80 percent up to receive the donor eggs on. so over the entire year, it adds up under spanish law, the act and i have to remain anonymous. so i can't meet any of the women who come here. a member of staff explains the medical procedure. when it says this is the operating room where both the patients and the donors have the treatment. and then the donor is injected with whom i said that she produces multiple eggs instead of just one. these 2 then harvested in an operation. they are relatively safe. it's not completely risk free. and in rare cases, that can be serious complications resulting in injury to in our organs or subsequent infertility. the groups at the clinic is part of claims to have one of

the largest banks in the world. they began storing dona eggs and patient embryos. 30 years ago, i ask how many they have went to school. she said, oh lot. i can't tell you exactly how many we have right now. but we can store more than 60000 embryos at any one time and we can keep them for many years. yeah, so where do the eggs come from? yak of doubling us says egg donation is a part of the culture in spain. as you see the outcome by the show when i arrived here, that was one of the 1st things that surprised me. there really is this idea of altruism the egg donation in the same way, people in germany, austria donate blood. the financial aspect is there to, of course, the donor receives between 100-1500 euros. depending on how many eggs we get. so it's not that much and but if

a student from the university of valencia does it to treat herself to a weekend in a beater, i personally don't have any problem with that problem. it's still a 1000 heroes. is a lot of money for many people and presumably it's randy used to finance a short break. the average young woman in spain lives on a lot less than 1000 years a month. in fact, nearly 40 percent of young people are unemployed. surely many women feel compelled to give eggs for the money. naturally, the clinics were passed on the details of any donors. and it's not a subject that women in spain talk about openly. but eventually, i managed to find someone prepared to talk publicly for the 1st time and on camera about her experience that donating eggs 5 years ago, 30 year old alia, was a student and didn't have enough to live on. like so many her age, she couldn't find a decent job. she donated eggs 6 times in all $900.00 heroes each time

you call me back then i had a job with very few hours and the only secure income was $200.00 euros among us. from that i needed to pay both my rent and my fee. i gave. we are the 1st time i donated eggs, i can remember getting paid. and the 1st thing i did when i got home was to pay my rent for the next 3 months of yours. she elia knew what to say to be accepted as a donut. it. oh my god, let me. they went to the man. they looked at me and asked, so what's your motivation for doing this by and i said, oh, my motivation is altruistic. i just want to help people and that was in just a moment. and i honestly thought of either him a very good actress or a sociopath or i didn't know one or he's a very bad psychologist. i mean, just look at me and all the people who go, they lie to him and he just accepted me. and then i got out of it for years now,

egg donation in spain has been on the rise. one of the few critical voices is scientist consuela. as plaza. she studied the practice both in spain and internationally, and believes the reason for the increase here is purely financial. she says the clinics have become very skilled in advertising. yes. because you should already see that on the one hand, the clinics direct their advertising at women who need financial help, who lack of money than on the other day highlight the outro istic side. the idea that those who respond are helping others. they also offer a comprehensive gynecological checkup so that in the end they can say the donation wasn't purely for financial reasons. and even though those reasons are obviously they're seen without that, no one would undergo hormone treatment and take the risk that is clearly environment for race and work. on the one hand,

there are women in financial need on the other couples desperately wanting children . so looks at night for couples visiting the clinics. once again, we poses a couple wanting children and immediately gets appointments into clinics. once again, we are unable to film those clinics. assure us that with this method will be able to have children, the health risks for the donors and for me as the mother of play down. we're also encouraged to have a d n. a test done to rule out any hereditary illnesses. one of the clinics is even running a special offer. yep. and she said this is how much it's supposed to cost then crossed it hourly. but we'll offer you yeah. hilarious. a special deal for you . it's 7 and a half 1000. but only if you do it this month, then the dna test is free, but come one day later and it'll be $3000.00 euros. my latoya. what would german

doctors say about the price? hello louis hill and is passive to working group some reproductive medicine linked to the german medical association. he says the price isn't not high because he feels special offers and unnecessary extras, like the dna test suggest a money making outfit. that his view is kind of the either medicine is not just a product that you seldom and of course we live from our income and it's not unusual to have bad practices here and there for the ones. but the focus for me is always the patient and not my wallet on the didn't, but that's not the impression i get from what you're saying. the other aspect is the risks to the donor. unto myself, were playing down the hall. when was all clear, when this was closed, time it needs to be an informed decision. both sides need to be clear about it. it's a low risk procedure, but not risk free job. and that needs to be clear in the, in the design. and the donor is not even having the eggs harvested to fulfill her

own dream of a family. but for others that gives you more of the stone. so there's a certain moral obligation to think about the welfare of the woman who donated her eggs and spend a physical risks of the one aspect. but what about the emotional side do don't, is experience long term after effects. the news is another form. i don't know, willing to go public 10 years ago. she donated eggs repeatedly and now feels cheated by the clinic. she says no one explained to her, the risks involved. she tells me her body reacted so badly to all the domains that her life was in danger. with the progress in medicine since then that wouldn't happen today, but she'll never donate again in your network. i honestly donated because i thought it couldn't be a bad thing. but i thought i was doing something good for another woman. yes. or

someone who couldn't get pregnant would receive me and it's another me how my portfolio and, and i would benefit financially and i needed the money back that and then, but afterwards i thought about it and a lot more and i didn't see it that way anymore. so, you know, may not be 10 years old news is still struggling. she tried hard to suppress her biological children. when i thought about me, i guess a part of me tries to believe that nothing happened out. i just can't imagine it normally my hand. i prefer to think that my eggs work and weren't fertilized more than the. yeah. but now when i start to talk about it, all these bad feelings come on, my mom, i'm just not ready for it. but if it's easier to think that nothing has to re okay, that my eggs didn't develop fully and there were no children out there with my dna

. k, i haven't seen on part of your own identity is clearly more than a quick operation. spanish, socio logistics, la fuente, who has studied the practice of egg donation in europe. she's critical of the spanish system saying, well, sharp, las couples benefit of the clinics well to the loses the donors. these in between situation is just not really working for the women that are actually carrying their reproductive capacity. because neither they're part of altruism very clear because they're, they're forbidden to have any relation with the family. and at the same time, they are not paid what it costs and they are not having to write. so it's a very high advocate situation. she believes society needs to decide either a donation is altruistic or paid properly. if society either german society,

spanish society or the european society, we decide that we don't mind commercialize in reproductive capacity. then we need to find proper framework in which to do that with the right of the people who are actually willing to contribute with their ex are with their reproductive capacity and to have good income to do that. so she's calling for a clear decision on whether it's an active kindness or a shall surface spit. opinions differ based on donation and surrogacy. the debate in germany has been going on for years. the national academy of sciences, which harry that can finish, is a part of once a donation to be legalized or not the following. sean donations have been carried out for more than 30 years now. these days,

the band is hard to justify legally ethically, or medically i regret that it can't be carried out in germany in an orderly way. it could be well regulated, so that couples are advised properly the don't, as they're advised properly, and that only a limited amount of money is given to the donor band. but others disagree. political scientist, catherine, belongs to a network of scientists. that activity opposes any legalization of ag donation or sorry, see, she says the altruism argument is unrealistic and there aren't enough women who would donate voluntarily. that does, i'm 5 was i'm that means a certain level of compensation will be needed and then we still won't have enough . so the compensation will be increased. and before you know, you have a line of business where women are risking their health before the benefits of others. i gain some of our egg donation. and so i guess the unethical or perfectly

acceptable is legalization low neva gene. what the government's doing to clarify these questions. the german justice ministry, referred me to the health ministry, which in turn points to a memorandum written by the german medical association. it says, there are complex legal, ethical, and societal aspects to consider. the current governing coalition agreement foresees neither the drafting of a new law on reproductive medicine, nor any modification to the existing embryo protection act. so the german government doesn't have the issue on its agenda, neither is it triggering any new debate on those complex legal, ethical, and societal aspects. those affected will have to wait from cisco fab. i never had a child. instead, she's devoted her life to advising other couples, wanting children, and calling for germany to finally make a decision on the donation. and sorry, i guess the she says the silence surrounding these issues and the ignorance of many

politicians is a disaster. the harness and it'll say manage time, were too afraid to broach the shot. checking that we get rounded by saying it's banned in germany, please go abroad and we abandon tens of thousands to a situation where there's no proper legal framework support and no advice on it. because that's not love, we just abandon people and then wonder why there's a problem. but the also based on the, sorry cassie and egg donation medical experts in the you took a loss of out altruism, but often the sour goodson i don't, is just have financial needs, potential problems by physical and emotional frequently go unmentioned. meanwhile, those wanting children face a dilemma with know where to turn for objective advice. clarity is needed and rules just for all the
