let's take a look at some other headlines from around the world. more than a 150 people are feared to have drowned in northwest nigeria after an overloaded boat sank in the niger river. it had left a central niger state and was heading to cabbie state when it's split. and think officials said, a rescue operation is underway. president obama to hurry has called the accident. devastated is a court in the netherlands to order the oil company. royal dutch shell to reduce its carbon emissions by 45 percent by 2030. this case could set the stage for similar legal action against major energy companies around the world. the australian state of victoria will go back into a 7 day lockdown starting midnight local time. on thursday, a new outbreak of corona virus infections was detected earlier this week and a search to 26 cases. people may only leave their homes for essential reasons including getting vaccinated. india is still battling a devastating 2nd wave of the pandemic. children may be among the least likely to

be killed by colbert 19, but they suffer in other ways, especially when their own parents die from the disease. d. w many a child that reports some delhi on how one organization is trying to help them most vulnerable. for 9 years now, 3 people that had worked with children from under premier community on a daily basis. she deals with children who have experienced creek laws and forced to grow up before they're ready. but since the outbreak of who would 19 their numbers are growing, children are being made to quit education and pick up household responsibilities and are also being pushed into child labor as their families have lost income. secondly, since they are spending a lot of time at their home, now many cases of child abuse are also coming up. having already been disproportionately affected by over 19, many children are facing another tragic fall out of the funding. many have lots mothers or fathers are both leaving them extremely one that since last year the

angel, a pretty book, has provided support to 13 children who have been often new to call the 19 by helping them settling with their extended families. so no opposing the founder of the organization says that while children who have been often how much tougher and need immediate attention, a more holistic approach is needed to address every child in distress. there is a lot of conversation about corporate office, but honestly, on the ground in such cases are probably 5 to 6 percent. the other 95 percent cases that we're looking at is where the bed, the very best of these children are pushing them into sexual trade, transactional sex and child labor. the real issue really is to look at the vulnerability mapping of which child is in massive distress. and woodside needs more support that there is a need for a more comprehensive approach is something that an iraq going to the head of the

deli commission for protection of child. right? also, i'm looking for something for 3 things need to happen. one, these schemes that provide the financial assistance to these families for that at least a basic subsistence is ensured. the 2nd thing that needs to happen is the government have to explore ways of keeping the children in school, the toward either ensuring a livelihood for the family. what ensuring that they're just starting different existing schemes of the government could be a russian or whatever. but ensuring the, the family has adequate means as an immediate urgent step. the commission has started a health line for children in distress. and back at the center preview says that many children she meets with are in crisis. right now. we've got a home because over the years of hard work that we and the children had put in, seemed to have gone raised our home. we are now trying to get them back to their studies and 2 different activities we are trying to use them and help them come out

of the difficult situation. they are still brief. he says that despite their best efforts, it will be a long while before the children are able to cope with the heart. and the trauma that the fun to make has inflicted didn't. yes, ma'am. ali huck is india director for the un children's rights organisation unit stuff. welcome to d. w. we saw there, hundreds of children have been orphan due to the pandemic, and there were already millions of orphans before the pandemic. it, is there a system in place that make sure that these kids are being looked after? well, thank you for highlighting this issue because it is really showing the tip of value i. but as you've heard from the previous speakers, where we do have to pay huge attention to the vulnerabilities that children are facing due to the damage. definitely those acute cases where they're losing parents,

care providers, primary caregivers, it is crucial at the same time, we have to keep in mind the vulnerabilities that children face as you've talked about, that they might not be going back to school at school reopen. so they don't have access to learning or even access to the health care that is needed. and i think what we're seeing is really government and the different boxes coming together to understand that much more needs to be done to strengthen that system to support children who are most vulnerable, which means identifying them, getting people to really flag the use cases where children are found to be vulnerable, answered above them, through the child line through the state and district level of women's and child development authority, so that they can be linked to the schemes that are available to support them. and their families were talking about immediate needs at the moment. what about

psychological effect? because i can imagine losing your parents in a situation like this must be extremely traumatic for children. so who is helping them in that aspect? absolutely, and that's part of the program that we're working very closely with the government both at the new level and at the state level to look at what does that care package that children needed, the media, the shelter, protection of food, nutrition, etc. but then the 2nd psychological impact of what they are facing is, has been recognized very strongly. and we've been working together with new hands, which is one of the premier institutes looking at mental health issues, especially for children in working with parents. kinship care is an important part of it and any other avenue that might be whether the teachers or social workers are indeed the extended family who can support children on this. we know that many

people are eager to help, but that in itself has presented a problem because more and more orleans are reportedly being put up for illegal adoption on social media. what can you tell us about that development? so what this social media, flagging of children, giving their names in particular has brought to the forefront is the need to really be very clear about who to report to and how not to go through social media for such cases. india has a very strong child help line where you can, anyone can dial and can 98. i'm be connected to the health plan which will connect children, do the care and support that is needed. whether it's through government departments or, and your support or linking them to services which will help them with their health or any other vulnerability that they face. so as trusting that system is going to

be extremely important and we all need to support it. that way. the cases are registered adequately. we've seen the government coming up with a number of 577 who have been registered so far. okay, so the 1st point is how do we identify them and register them and we must use the system that is being put forward. many states have also developed their own make mechanisms. so you know, it's really how do we bind to the mechanisms that have been put in place? we'll have to leave it there. yes. mon, only hack into director for eunice stuff. thank you very much for joining us. thank you for your interest. now a powerful sy clone has slammed into eastern india, killing several people enforcing the evacuation of more than a 1000000 people. thousands of emergency personnel have been deployed to help with rescue efforts. the storm hit just one week after another cycle and killed at least

155 people in western india. the, the weight of the ocean crashing into india's shore line. with wave after wave pushing in from the bay of been gall water was soon pouring inland. cycling yas made landfall with a gust of over 150 kilometers per hour, bearing down on homes and people today lucian flooded coastal towns, turning roads into rivers. i mean, we've never seen waves like that come in from the sea before we're all very scared . i have no idea what's going to happen to people but it's the rural population that suffering most over $1200.00 villages had to be

evacuated. displacing 50000 people. there's nothing left my son and i fled home as destroyed, there's nothing left as the psych phone moves inland, it's also disrupting efforts to deal with india's surgeon corona virus. pandemic testing and vaccination had to be suspended in several districts. they will be no return to normal here anytime soon. e u foreign ministers are meeting to discuss their response to bella roses, diversion of a commercial flight, and it's a rest of dissident blog or remo process. the rich and his girlfriend talks in portugal. they're expected to discuss sundays, forced landing of the ryan or flight which determined government has called an unacceptable act. meanwhile, the youth pushed close airspace to flights from bella. ruth is starting to take effect flying in circles

before going right back to where it started. the beloved in bella rizzi in airlines flight from minsk to barcelona, never reached its final destination. it was forced to return to minced after polish officials, told the pilot he may not be allowed to enter french f space. on monday, the european union agreed to ban beller as airlines from its skies. the measure is among sanctions imposed to restore the plane to land and means the aircraft was carrying dissident reman, proud to savage was arrested upon arrival. he is seen here in this alleged confession video with what appeared to be bruises on his face. his supporters believe he was tortured from your store. it isn't by the raging, get a free speech of the true and above all it targets. people who tell the truth and blog is the 1st to be past due to during the mass repression that began last year.

where he plays tickets to make sure that his personal god is good when you are asleep, alexander lucas shank route, or the country for 27 years. don't deny the plane was rerouted in order to capture protest, savage. he maintains that a bomb threat was the reason the plane was told to land. the crackdown on dissidents intensified off the last presidential election, which was widely regarded to be rigged. intriguing mass protests, more than 35000 people have been arrested since they began. as people around the world demand, precious savings is released morning march for political activists told ashley rock who died in custody a week ago. his cause of death was listed as a heart attack when his reader believes he was mad. there are many variations hoping to change the cost of fighting for it remains high. well,

sanctions against bella. ruth, are set to dominate discussions as you foreign ministers meet in portugal today. and d, w band record is in lisbon following the story for us high parents. the youth sanctions could we understand targets several economic sectors. tell us what you're hearing. now, the 27 minutes contemplating mer to punish whole sectors of the economy, not only individuals from the leadership in betters as it used to be. so for example, the potassium industry, the oil industry and also the financial sector that could be targeted. but the question, the main question is which impacts what impact will these sanctions have? where they heard the people of villa roseville. they heard the leadership of the even heard the european companies and european countries. so the assessment is not over yet. and there's no unity there. also some countries that say, well let's be careful if these sanctions actually work. and it's not only about the

2 people that are detained from the slide on the sunday, but it's about 400 other detainees detained for political reasons. is that the german foreign minister hiker mos, if we look at the international response, the un security council is unlikely to address this incident because russia would object. does that put more pressure on the european union to act? yes, you want to show that it can act on its own. and the main point is that russia has the sanchez ally and has to be influenced. the ministers also say we have to talk to russia to take them on board. and it's not only about his own also about the wida view, you have many frozen conflicts in the european neighborhood in georgia. ukraine mode over russia always plays an essential and important role is of the minister to

say we also have to talk to russia. but what leverage that you has of, unless a russia is very unclear. so there's also some hope that the upcoming summit between the us president and the president of russia will issue a bit of resolve the issue that little bit debbie's band record reporting for us from lisbon. thank you. us president joe biden has ordered intelligence officials to deliver a new report and the origins of the cobra, 1900 pandemic within 90 days. biden says us intelligence agencies are divided over whether the virus emerged from human contacts with an infected animal or from a lab accident adjoined to china. w h o study published in march said that it was highly improbable that the virus leaked from a research laboratory in hon. it concluded that it most likely spread from back to human via and as yet on identified intermediary species.

and d, w. william blue cross following this story for us. so why is president biden calling for this investigation? at this point, i assuming there's been growing skepticism in the scientific community and in political communities all around the world about the natural emergence theory. we saw this in a wall street journal article recently that showed that perhaps lab workers at that home lab went to the hospital at the end of the 1900 before china reported officially that the corona virus was here. that there was the beginning of this pandemic. there's been a lot of coverage of the last year, an open letter from scientists to the, to the journal science questioning the natural emergency re wanting more information on the potential for a live accident as the cause of this. and this is while, while the natural theory has been the main cause that people have been supporting all this past year, there has been investigations in this whole here looking into the possibility of

a lab accident. so it's, it's not nothing new, but it's getting new attention now. and of course, this fits into jo biden's heavy pushback against china on the world scale. whether it's trade, whether it's military or a whole host of things. this is one more aspect of the u. s. positioning itself against china. but why is this theory that the origin was perhaps a lab accident? why is it so controversial? well, lab accident of course comes with accountability. it means that someone was at fault liability issues. you know, more than 3 and a half 1000000 people maybe as many as 10000000 or more people. if you count real estimates, accept that estimate have been killed from this virus. so it's a much more convenient and politically easier. thing to say that this was just that this was just natural that no one could have seen this coming, that there was, there was nothing we could have done. whereas if this did leak out of a lab, then of course there is something that maybe could have been done. but it's really,

really important to say that even if we do discover that this was a lab accident or this was somehow man made, it doesn't mean, but this is some anti china conspiracy. it doesn't mean that this was a bio weapon to attack people. there was legitimate research corona virus research going on at this lab, some of it funded by the united states by the national institutes of health. so this would look badly on both china and the us if we find out that certain precautions weren't taken. if accidents do happen and it should be, none of the accidents do happen from time to time, but these are the kinds of laboratories and we'll just quickly how has begun respond to tell us well, of course, beijing has hit out hard saying this is just more smoking mirrors in the us and it really and beijing is not necessarily wrong about that. credibility, really counts here and the intelligence community united states gotta have gotten a lot of things wrong. i mean, the weapons of mass destruction in iraq of 1520 years ago to name just one major

flaw. so this speaks to why it's so so important for institutions for government institutions to play a straight with fact and to be transparent. so that way, when things like this come around, they can be trusted and their, their credibility won't be called into question like elements in china. that, of course, have a very deep interest to uphold the natural emergence theory. while i'm grew craft reporting for us there, thank you for bringing us that story. now eric carl, the author of one of the world's most popular children's books, has died at the age of $91.00. karl's most famous book, the very hungry caterpillar was published in 1969, using the simple words in bright colors that told the tale of a caterpillar with an insatiable appetite. during his career, karl wrote and illustrated more than 70 books. ah, a child once called him a picture writer, a turn the american author eric call thought was very fitting. in 1969,

he created the very hungry caterpillar over all he wrote and illustrated more than 70 children's books. but none of his work touched as many hearts as the tale of a caterpillar with an insatiable appetite horton part 2 books or children or any books really is the idea of the idea. that book was originally titled a week with really warm and one wonders if this book would have done quite as well without its catchy title. it has been translated into 66 languages in german, it's called declining, opened them as that which roughly translates as the little caterpillar never for. airy call had its own theory of why the book was successful. in children need home. you middle in music and caterpillar can

grow up into a beautiful butterfly and fly into the world with your talent. the signature style was to always use many bright colors and different textures. his illustrations will continue to be an inspiration for generations to come me and we reported yesterday on the lunar eclipse, that stargazers in the pacific rim region were treated too. but last night, a huge super 1000000 brought a little extra terrestrial excitement to the skies of the spanish island of grand canada. the super moon is the closest full moon to the earth of the year, and that makes it look bigger and brighter than normal. the coming up next on
