thousands of them, they have left from different boxes of their town ranking. we're talking about a huge undertaking here to get so many people to evacuate. how are they coping? it's really difficult to answer that question because it's just going see, since it's lucky south across new for, for most of the book. so they're just trying to do how they can do for their best to survive and go from google maps. so people are trying their best to survive. what are authorities doing to help those who are flea authorities, promises going to just give to people some buses. but in the morning there was only 3 buses. people just doing how they can the, how they can, they can some of just trying to go with their cars. some are going by foods. even some are just,

we are both going got tough for problem big. so we mentioned that this is the 2nd time in a week. essentially the goma is being threatened by this cell. volcanic activity essentially just missed a huge disaster. last we tell us about that. yeah, this accounts, but it's again a new venture because don't know when or if, even if the school at least we're just feeling that you can come again. but if it's cons again, school at close disasters because that's what people offering because got, we got all stations every, were you but i just think it comes again, goes the same model and now on the ground the eruption can come under or on the ground. so people are just feeling thrown that we've got guys in the list, you will. so all the things we have, they will cuddle on the not part or nothing,

but they will cannot. we will to the leaks in the office, but we've got so people just following for all the things journalist reagan manic were speaking to us from go. my thank you very much for that update. thank you. so now for some other stories making headlines around the world, more than $150.00 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 on those heading to cabby state when it's split and think according to officials. a rescue operation is underway, and president mohammedan hardy is called the accident. devastating. a court in the netherlands has ordered oil company, royal dutch shell, to reduce its carbon emissions by 45 percent by 2030. the 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 weekend has searched to 26 cases. people may only leave their homes for essential reasons including getting vaccinated. he was president joe biden has ordered intelligence officials to deliver a new report on the origins of the code, 900 pandemic within 90 days. vitamin says us intelligence agencies are divided over whether the virus emerged from human contact with an affected animal or from a laboratory accident, a joint china w h o study published in march, said that it was highly improbable that the coven 900 bars reached, leaked from a research lab and who han it concluded that it most likely spread from bats to humans via as an app and as yet on identified intermediary species. and d, w. william blue cross this 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 a beginning of this pandemic. there's been a lot of coverage over the last year. an open letter from scientists to the, to the journal science questioning the natural emergent theory 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 off to this past year, there has been investigations in this whole year 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's gail. 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 it's so controversial? well, lab accident of course comes with accountability. it means that someone was at fault . there's 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 except that estimates 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 that this is some anti china conspiracy. it doesn't mean that this was a bio weapon to attack people there with legitimate research corona virus research going on at this lab, some of it funded by the united states by the national institute 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 did happen, and it should be, none of the accidents do happen from time to time. but these are these kinds of laboratories and william just quickly how has begun respond to, to all of this. well, of course, paging has hit out hard saying this is just more smoke and mirrors in the u. s. and it really amazing is not necessarily wrong about that credibility, really counts here. and the intelligence community united states got to 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 straight with facts 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. very well. i grew croft reporting for us there. thank you for bringing us that story. now, india is still battling a devastating 2nd wave of the panoramic 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. the money, the child reports from delhi, on how one organization is trying to help the most vulnerable for 9 years now, 3 people had worked with children from under previous communities 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 with 19 their numbers are growing with children not 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 lost mothers or fathers are both leaving them extremely wonderful. since last year, the angela work has provided support to talking children who have been often new to call the one team by helping them settle in with that 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 realistic approach is needed to address every child in distress. there is a lot of conversation about it often, 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 is to look at the vulnerability mapping of which child is in massive distress and which side needs more support that there is a need for a more comprehensive approach is something that an iraq can do. the head of the deli commission for protection of child. right. also i'm looking for i think for 3 things need to happen. one, these schemes that provide financial assistance to these families so that the basic subsistence is insured. 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 are, you start in different existing schemes of the government, could be a russian or whatever. what ensuring the, the family has adequate means as an immediate urgent step,

the commission has started a health line for children in distress. back at the center preview says that many children she meets with are in crisis. right now. we've got a home because of all of it, years of hard work that we and the children had put in seemed to have gone reached home. we are now trying to get them back to their studies and so different activities we are trying to heal them and had 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 panoramic has inflicted didn't be japan has been seeking to reassure countries around the world that the olympic games in july will be safe. despite the pandemic organizers say they put plans in place to prevent a spike of infections. but opposition to staging the games during the public health emergency is growing. voting because i'm looking forward to deal infection. i'm not

worried. the official thumbs remains the same. the games will go on no matter what . even if the current state of emergency due to the corona virus is extended and for some locals, that's no problem at all. which again should take place if everyone sticks to the rules and there won't be a problem in the vaccination campaign is picking up and japanese a very careful but pulse show that up to 80 percent of the population. don't want the gang and some have even taken to the streets, often a solitary protesters. since mass demonstrations are read in japan. they criticize the high costs of the olympics and gentrification of areas where the facilities have been built. and there are other objections. you know, the olympic and paralympic games are being misused, to hide the aftermath of the nuclear disaster at fukushima in 2011 and to show the

world that the problems in fukushima have been solved. it's a lie. we cannot tolerate it tonight. i've completely changed my opinion after seeing the large number of people around the world who died from corona virus, and i'm sure that the athletes have worked so hard, but the olympics under corona virus conditions. nope, i really want the games to be called off a petition started by politician kenji. it's on a me, it's a cancel. the olympics received 200000 signatures in 2 days. and since then, that number has more than doubled each in a more than a year. people have faced severe restrictions because of the pandemic. some just barely getting by. and now during this security, how can you justify a mega event like the olympics for much beer? and there are more and more dissenting voices from all walks of society like shows of a protest post the in tokyo. there's no mistaking its meaning to give us

a break, the olympics are impossible, and medical capacity has reached its limits. stop the olympics. yet, despite all the protests, the count down to the olympic games continues. let's talk about a controversial upcoming olympics. t w's. oliver moody is with us in our studio. ali, it does seem like pressure here is really mounting. are these kids really going to go ahead? well, right now, it looks like they are still going to go ahead. just this week we had dick found a senior. i see member saying, barring on the, getting these things a go. so that gives you a little insight into the i see mindset right now, but of course, calls for the counseling. the games are getting louder and louder all the time. most recently, we've had the chairman of the japan doctor's union warning that the olympics could see a spread of corona virus variance in tokyo on top of that. but also this week we had a se one newspaper in japan and a local sponsor of the tokyo olympics. as well,

putting into that authorial that they want the japanese government to reconsider and cancel the games without varies medical journals. also timing in talking about the problems associated with holding the games in the middle of a pandemic to. and of course, all of that comes on top of according to polls, at least about 80 percent of the japanese population. not one thing to host the games right now. so the case against is building 80 percent. why is the i o c? so intent upon holding these games show on to see me is money the gets about 75 percent of its inc. from tv rights for the summer and winter olympic games. that's a ballpark figure of about $4000000000.00 us dollars in a 4 year cycle. probably a bit more not now. in fact, now of course, if you lose the bigger of those 2 tournament, the summer games, huge chunk of that money disappears as well. and it's a similar story for japan, in fact, as well, the highest. so japan has sunk somewhere between $15.00 and $30000000000.00 into

hosting the games, depending on who's estimate you deem to be device accurate. and they of course, want a return on investment and, you know, both parties point to the restrictions that they're putting in place. they say they'll make the game safe. talking about lower case numbers in japan in the last few days. but i don't think many people are convinced by those arguments at the moment. all right, this or on 6 weeks ago, we'll see what happens. oliver moody from d. w support. thank you so much. now you foreign ministers are meeting to discuss their response to bella versus diversion of a commercial flight. and it's a rest of dissident blogger, rama, protest and his girlfriend. at talks in portugal, they're expected to discuss sundays. forced landing of the ryan air flight was the german government called in on acceptable act. meanwhile, that he was pushed to close air space to flight from bella. ruth, it's starting to take effect flying in circles

before going right back to where it started. the beloved in bella, rizzi and 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 es face. on monday, the european union agreed to ban beller as an airlines from its skies. the measure is among sanctions imposed after beller as forced a plane to land and means the aircraft was carrying dissident man protest savage, who was arrested upon arrival. he has 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 by the raging get free speech of the tree and above all, it targets people who tell the truth and blog is the 1st to be persecuted during

the mass repression that began last year. please take advantage of ship it as long as you eller sleeva, alexander lucas. shank, root of the country for 27 years. don't deny the claim was rerouted in order to capture protest, savage. he maintains that a bomb threat was the reason the plane was told to land the crack down on dissidence, intensified after last year's presidential election, which was widely regarded to be rate. it triggered mass protests more than 35000 people have been arrested since they began as people around the world demand pressure savage has released mourners march for political activists told ashley rock who died in custody a week ago. his cause of death was listed as a heart attack, but his reader believes he was murdered. there are many variations hoping to change the cost of fighting for it remains high. well, sanctions against bella,

we are set to dominate discussions as you foreign ministers, neat in portugal today, and d, w band record is in lisbon, following the story for us high parents, the youth sanction could we understand targets several economic sectors. tell us what you're hearing. now the 27 minutes as contemplate to punish whole sectors of the economy, not only individuals from the leadership in betters as it used to be. 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 hurt europe in 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 that the german foreign minister was. 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 their own. also about the wida view, you have many frozen conflicts in the european neighborhood in georgia, ukraine, a mode over russia always plays an essential and important role. as of the minister,

the said we also have to talk to russia, but what leverage that you has of unless 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 the resolve the issue that little bit here we spend record reporting for us from lisbon. thank you. eric carl, the author of one of the world's most popular children's books, has died at the age of 90. 1. karl's most famous book, the very hungry caterpillar was published in 1969, using simple words and bright colors that told us taught tale of a caterpillar with an insatiable appetite during his career, karl roach 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 hards as the tale of a caterpillar with an insatiable appetite. horton part 2 books or children or anyone really is the idea or in us. the idea come from. the book was originally titled a week with really warm and one wonders if this book would have done quite as well without its cat. she title, it has been translated into 66 languages. in german, it's called declining, open them as that which roughly translates as the little caterpillar never for a recall had its own theory of why the book was successful. it is a children need home. you middle in significance. caterpillar can grow up into

a beautiful butterfly and fly into the world with your talent. his 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. we have one sports item for you in footballs in it, in sedan, the stepping down as coach around the drake with immediate effect that's according to the club. the frenchman has quit just days after the spanish team was narrowly beaten to the legal title by local rivals. athletic madrid in his true spouse of coach the down lead rail to to lead titles and 3 champions league when but the season, the club come away without a trophy for the 1st time in 11 years. now we reported yesterday on the lunar eclipse, that stargazers in the pacific rim region were treated too. but last night a huge super moon brought a little extra terrestrial excitement to the skies of the spanish island of grand

canaria. the super moon is the closest full moon to the earth of the year, and that makes it look bigger and brighter than normal. i listed a reminder in our top story certainty, w. tens of thousands of people in the eastern democratic republic of congo were evacuating the city of goma. after authorities warned a nearby volcano could erupt again. it is the 2nd time since the weekend that residents have fled the city to 1000000 people. and us president joe biden has ordered intelligence officials to deliver a new report on the origins of the cobra. 1900 pandemic within 90 days bite. in that us intelligence agencies are divided over whether the virus emerged from human contact with an infected animal or from a laboratory act. who's coming up next on the w, how people were recovered from kobe 19 in france and belgium. are we learning how

to smell that on our show, focus on your coming up in just a few minutes and don't forget, you can always get the latest news information. our website we dot com and follow the latest headlines with us on twitter at c w. news for all of us, your berlin, thank you for watching the news. ah, the news. the news, the news news?

news the the the, the the grouping harassment. right. there's hardly any female student. you haven't experienced this sexual violence in universities in britain, emily eisenberg, it's fighting back. she's organizing protests on her message. it's loud and clear.

i feel the magic disc, the who's subscribed to the w documentary on youtube. the news . hello and welcome to focus on your of with me live show. thanks for joining us today. what will our future look like? that's the question. school children across europe are asking themselves after more than one year of this tend to make their lives are currently marked by isolation

and homeschooling. before the koran outbreak, full life could actually be fun, like here in turkey where children used to learn together in a classroom where a teacher was physically present, school was a place to develop character and friendships. but all that seemed far away for a 7 year old guy, his school has been closed for more than a year and does live field dal and one not enough yet. the turkish governments priority doesn't seem to be schools. the country plans to 1st reopen beaches and hotels to revive the economy. many turks are outraged that visitors will be exempted from curfew sooner than children, especially since they are considered the future of turkey. me. 7 year old roost guy was accompanying his luther,

john done denver and to work like most days. due to the panoramic turkish schools have been shut for over a year. john don runs a private kindergarten on the outskirts of his stumble. they're occasionally allowed to open. unlike schools, china or son attended school for 6 months before authorities ordered, all schools closed now, rose gar, spends his time at his mother's kindergarten or at home, attending virtue lessons. something the 2nd grader doesn't enjoy. latoya. i preferred math classes in school, birth me. i liked it. even though teachers sometimes got angry at us for the past year, remote learning has been the new normal for ruth car,

a challenging situation for him. and his mother car struggle to stay focused in front of the screen, you know, but he still can't read or write properly. the kids have lost interest in everything. they don't want to leave the house anymore. again, you are losing touch with the outside world. over $10000000.00 turkish children and teenagers haven't attended school in month, they're only allowed to pack for exams, like these pupils at an stumble primary school. many parents are fed up with the government strict stance on schools. it took a ton of educate should be their top priority. instead of holding conferences and party conventions without heating any corona restrictions, the education sector being neglected along with a real well most or the european countries have tried. avoiding school closures

took his education and science workers union. warren's turkish pupils are falling behind learn lessons and not very effective. reading. basically, last an entire year of teaching. we never understood why schools supposedly posed a greater infection risk and cafes or restaurant, look on hello coffee. those are allowed to open. amanda turkish school closures have hit per families like the lands hardest from the $4000000.00 to school children don't have internet access at home. that means mohammed azlan must rely on the educational programs on turkish state television. next door mohammed sister have a nor is using her mother's smartphone to attend the virtual clue. the 9th grader is annoyed. unlimited connection. keep breaking up on. it's almost

impossible to follow the lesson. we've done there. sometimes our teachers don't show up because they have become infected from you or they are in quarantine. and we're not even allowed outdoors to have fun. i am really worried about my future. their father works in construction and always wanted his children to get ahead in life through education. but the pandemic, he says, has exacerbated social inequality. not to do you alone, put asleep with money can send the children to private schools to, to, to help their children catch up. all can we can't afford the monitor would have been can our children have to resort to educational television shows look good even if it isn't wealthier parents, like shanda and good friend are finding turkeys. economic situation increasingly difficult to john done says more and more parents are taking the youngest out of her kindergarten. if the trend continues, she may go out of business,

but matters are even worse for turkey, school children. they are the ones paying the highest price in this pandemic. one of the stranger a symptoms of coven 19 is the loss of smell. thousands of people say they either couldn't smell anything after the infection or that familiar smells changed. the belgian unfulfilled cow decided to do a special training to regain her sense of smell. comes the feeling used to love perfume until she did the covert 19. it's really bad to me. even though i used to love this sent cook, now. it reminds me of good. you boom, a soil to not be off the contracting the corona virus. pleasant to run this

even perfumes started spinning different answer fi. the fooling him last october. she couldn't smell a thing, kicked him gradually. her all factory senses returned. so some things now smell completely differently, like flowers blooming in spring time. yeah, i can smell a bit but i don't recognize the scent. it's frustrating and makes me sad. she has started avoiding hudson spices to her. they smell rotten. losing the ability to properly smell herbs to time will terracon is common in individuals who developed covet 19 scientists suspect the corona virus damages nerve cells in the nicer lining,

the flooding the distance. some times i think i have some kind of depression. she, i'm sad, nothing is enjoyable. continued, i'm at hired kush was done booked on top of that. i stopped enjoying eating and drinking. those were 2 of my passions show michelle my, how she feels. he completely lost his sense of smell over 5 years ago after an accident. he says he misses the smell of his children most to see every day since i miss the most such as food. the aroma that remind you that you are alive. you lose memory when you lose your sense of smell. despite it all shall, michelle my eyes determined to hold on to his passion for cooking. adding some color is always good. eat with her eyes to you. no,

no. all great cooks in france. know this. our ability to taste largely depends on our all factory senses. so show michelle's tasty, serious, be limited, but he can descend st. unsavory move completion. it is good because it's chris, be slightly grilled. peter with the texture of the fish is always very nice. that's not too salty. what i also i like a lot of salt. so that's one of our weaknesses for using to which felt our phase accident joe michel was angry because nobody was able to help him regain his sense of smell. it's estimated the 5 percent of french people suffer from the same impairment. then 3 years ago, he found it in association to support people with an impaired sense of smell. he joined forces with scientists to develop

a program to retrain people's all factory senses. by using concentrated romeus, one from rose pebbles, lennon or clothes, for example. the noise and the sense of smell is every bit as important. as all other senses. people often forget that most people only really mister sense of smell when it's gone. we want people including those who can still smell to develop a greater appreciation for it. now with the pandemic, more and more people struggling with the long term effects of cov, it have been contacting show michelle's association. he says thousands of people all over europe adopted his training methods. and sophie has also begun retraining . her all factory senses on model bus. we ask patients to smell the room was blindfolded. ideally, we want them doing this twice a day while focusing solely on what the exercises focus is really important because

the brain has reactivated the memory of different smells at this brussels hospital . doctors observe that most people who lost their sense of smell during the kind of infection can in fact recover it after a while because they damaged nerve cells we generate this makes me hopeful, but it's tough to stay motivated and optimistic. sometimes i'm just sad. i keep asking myself if i ever regain my smell, because the progress is slow. and so if he hopes that retraining her oh factory senses will pay off. so that one day, she can enjoy her favorite perfumes. again, it takes courage to speak up against president who attends politics in russia. security for it says don't shy away from intimidating or even attacking critics.

our reporter met a man who as a police officer, was responsible for guarding the interest of the st. but now he has switched sides the fatal from an interesting position. leaders has driven him to action. moscow and a late february evening. we're filming the monuments for the late opposition figure bars nips of the following day would mark 6 years since he was assassinated. we noticed a you'll learn who looks like he could be a tourist. he says he comes from event of a and he's just made a life changing decision. yeah. boucher working on the thing. i used to be a police munoz, like, you know, i've resigned alexi, nevada has been convicted. it takes some courage to resign for political reasons and then talk about it openly. somebody isn't afraid. spoken with them. they can't always be afraid. personally, for them to fray. no value,

which is what everyone has to realize. it depends on all of us. each one of us best responsibility for this country, is there any a few weeks later we visited so gay, an event of an industrial city known as russia's manchester, some 250 kilometers north east of moscow. so again, studied law here and then join the police force is offensive. you learned that there's become doctors are joined the fire department because they want to help people. he said he'd always wanted to fight in just a 2nd. it's 28. he was with the police for 5 years and with his law degree, he could have had a good career. now he's living off a savings and from blogging on youtube and instagram, he announced his resignation on line and the uniform, the same. diana valley was convicted of him or so ago he says he's been pleased with duty for some time. the valley's conviction was the last straw that and the

heavy 100 police correct down. and demonstrators familiar with this video here. a policeman in some peters the kicks a woman to the ground while he was in charge. i didn't even fire and i don't want to be part of the system any longer. i'd be ashamed of the violence even if i myself were not present. in march survey, attended a seminar organized in moscow by a civil rights group for aspiring regional politicians like survey people all over russia. want to get into politics like the podium, permanent opposition figures. after not even half an hour, the police storm, the seminar apprehending everyone they can get hold of. one man was even taken away in the middle of his interview with us. of course, taking part in the opposition is risky. yeah, yeah. she was saying this is about russian future. yes. what i did

say to was arrested for the 1st time in his life. he was released the same day and later sentence to pay a find returned to yvonne of april was making videos for his blog. the demonstrators were prone of only, but they were in the minority. like everywhere, russia, nobody out there standing there because of no volley. i've heard of him, of course, he's a bad person. everyone said so in the event of a to it takes courage to stand up for next enough, only dozens were arrested. even though saggy was only filling videos, he was still taken to the police station with the others. he would be back in court . it was a bitter pill to run into with ex coworkers. he told us later. so many

acquaintances on the square or we didn't say anything. yeah, they kept their eyes on.
