thank you very much. situation is it pretty critical. ready as you heard from that little quarter, yes. then tens of thousands of people. i've been cleaning my tone since early hours of this morning for a in 5 am. and it been going in different directions mainly either to the ruins and border on the eastern side of grandma or towards the west with an area called khaki . and this is mainly because the fear for their lives because of experience this this russian few days ago. and now the here that's going to happen again and all my you are helping people who are on the move right now. and that includes your own staff and the families that they have in the area. tell us what that has been like since the beginning on saturday, when the located rusted, we've been coordinating, which is very, very closely with the companies as well as with the observatory center

and the local groups and this including exchanging information and technical advice . we have a kennel specialist in our team who's been working very, very closely with the communities volcano experts that also will be displaying, let us recognizance flights by helicopter from the early hours of the mission interruption. and then later on we continued providing these reconnaissance flights by helicopters, but also by drones, as you know, unless we are able to get very close to the volcano and see inside the volcano, we cannot predict the next activity or the next russian. so that's a great deal of support that we've been doing on the technical side with the communities partners. also we've started helping the local population, including now as we speak with writing water to the spot commission that would that direction. and in fact, we're also working on paving the room that was damaged severely damn in the

emission reduction regarding regarding our personnel, we have about 5000 staff members. many of them are, most of them are, can release with this time. we're also trying to help them with the city of gilbert and omar just quickly can, can you give us an idea of how difficult this has been to get so many people to back the way safely? it is very, very difficult. as we speak, the roads are still very, very congested. people are trying to get out of the city, but for the time being able to reach the destination, which is also the border itself with wonder was very, very common. and despite by both of the congress he said, and there was a low, free and fast movement. it's still you had heads in thousands of people trying to cross has been very, very difficult. especially after. remember, the roads are not the most reliable. you have very little

vehicles or buses or even crossing on foot or on motorcycles, omar on board from the un peacekeeping mission in go my thank you so much for sharing that with us. let's check in on some other world news now. president to my one, my call has admitted that france failed the victim of the 1994 genocide in bewanda . but in the key speech of the car, golly, genocide, memorial, he stopped short of an apology. were one that has long that she was france of complicity in the depth of 800000. mostly to see were one dense privacy more than 150 people are fear to have drowned in northwest nigeria. after an overloaded boat sank in the niger river, it had left central nitro state. when it was heading to cabby state when it split and sank, according to officials, a rescue operation is underway. president mohammad, which is called the accident, devastating in your foreign ministers,

are meeting in portugal to discuss their response to bell whizzes, arrest of dissident blogger rama. for the future and his girlfriend, after forcing his plane to land, they are expected to discuss sundays, forced landing of the ryan air flight, which the german government has called an unacceptable act. he was president joe biden has ordered intelligence officials to deliver a new report on the origins of the covered 1900 pandemic within 90 days by and says us intelligence agencies are divided over whether the virus emerged from human contact with an infected animal or from a laboratory accident a joined to china, w h o study published in march, said that it was highly improbable that the covered 1000 virus leaked from a research laboratory in hon. it concluded that it most likely spread from baths to humans through an intermediary species that hasn't been identified yet. 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 emergent 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 of 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 lab accident as the cause of this. and this is while, while the natural theory has been the main cause that people have been supporting in 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, a whole host of things. this is one more aspect of the us 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 was legitimate research corona virus research going on at this time live 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 did happen, and it should be noted that 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, beijing has hit out hard saying this is just more smoke and 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. 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've put plans in place to prevent a spike in infections, but opposition to staging the games during the public health emergency is growing. $40000000.00. i'm looking forward to deal eviction. i'm not worried. the official stones 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. moments you know,

the game should take place if everyone sticks to the rules and there won't be a problem. a lot of explanation components picking up and japanese a very careful but pulse show that up to 80 percent of the population don't want the game. and some have even taken to the streets, often a solitary protesters since mass demonstrations array 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 can do to 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 the book or she might have been solved. it's a lie we cannot tolerate. tonight, we have 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,

i know i really want the games to be called off a petition started by politician kenji woodson, a me at to cancel the olympics, received 200000 signatures in 2 days. and since then, that number has more than doubled more than a year, people have faced severe restrictions because of the pandemic. some just barely getting by and now during this r garrity, 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 that. he shows us a protest poster 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 the controversial upcoming olympics t w's. oliver moody is with us in our studio. all it does seem like pressure here

is really mounting. are these games 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 alma, get in these things a go. so that gives you a little insight into the i r c 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 be a spread of corona virus, variance in tokyo. on top of that, also this week we had a se one newspaper in japan and a local sponsor of the tokyo olympics. as well, putting into that the tauriel that they want the japanese government to reconsider cancel the games with various medical journals. also timing in talking about the problems associated with holding the games in the middle of a pandemic. and of course, all of this 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 income from tv right 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 now. in fact, now of course, if you lose the bigger of those 2 tournament, the summit games, huge chunk of that money disappears as well. it's a similar story for japan in fact, as well, the highest. so japan had sunk somewhere between $15.00 and $30000000000.00 in c, hosting the games depending on who's estimate you deeds of a device accurate. and then of course, one 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, just we're on 6 weeks ago. we'll see what happens oliver moody from d. w for thank you so much. now a powerful cyclop has slapped 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 had 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 shoreline. 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 to day lucia 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's suffering most over $1200.00 villages had to be evacuated. displacing 50000 people. there's nothing left my son and i fled to my home is destroyed. there's nothing less 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. a new building is opening here in berlin for people of different religions. the hope is that it will promote understanding by allowing people of many faith to worship under one roof support or say it is

a long overdue here in the german capital. here in the center of fair lane, hybrid church, mark synagogue, is under way located on the side of a demolished 13th century church houses. one is an attempt at building interface bridges by letting people of 3 religion swear, sheep under one roof. you start. but how do i hear all the city needs places where you can be sure that there are people who are having a dialogue of each other, no matter the differences. to know there is a place that you can go to with different people are communicating with each other and that's an incredibly important symbol for peace in the city. holberg initiated a project then joined forces with any mom and a rabbis, mainly funded by the german state has a form. we have 3 players spaces connected by a central community room between different religions. the set and sensitivities went by living under one roof in one

house with their own traditions and yet collectively taking responsibility, not for the entire world, but for these later how's itself? and by doing that, setting an example to prove it possible. a thing that could become pretty important in the city, in berlin and stuff for a while now. the projects initiated have been coming together on special occasions to pray together to mourn and to show so the diversity for him. i'm osman us, especially in the face of rising extremism. from all sides. the project goes beyond just being a building. they couldn't make life, we can't just call it look away. face also means taking step means to actively be something and peace is not something that you can take for granted. that in order to have peace, you have to commit yourself and work hard as it. and if all goes according to plan has a f one will be completed in 5 years. and the idea has already spread to other corners

of the world in georgia and the central african republic. similar projects are under way now it has been 17 years since the final episode. now fans of hit tv show friends are in for a treat. the long awaited and much anticipated one off reunion special is airing on h. b o max. the popular comedy was about people in their twenties living in new york. it ran on tv for 10 years and still remains. one of the most popular shows in re runs and on streaming platforms. friends reunion bring the stars including jennifer aniston and david schwimmer. back to the set for an emotional get together . and let's bring in scott roxborough from d w culture for more on this. hi scott. so why are we seeing this reunion now? well, i mean, the physical answer is money. warner brothers, which owns a feel mac, pete, a huge amount of money,

something like $420000000.00 for reruns of all the friends episodes to watch their streaming service. they wouldn't have to reunion last year for the launch of each feel, mac coded delays that so they are now having it right now. but it really is an attempt to basically give fans of the show and there are hundreds of millions of them worldwide. a trip down memory lane, a sort of mist alger fast. and in doing so to sort of celebrate this new service that they, of course, have launch across the world. are those fans going to be happy with what they see? are they going to get what they expect? i guess it depends what you, what you want from a show like this. i mean, if you want to sort of comfort food and establish your fast, you're definitely going to get that. that's what this has been designed to do, and it definitely delivers on that. getting all these stars together for a reunion like this definitely is what

a lot of the fans of the show went to see if you're looking for really behind the curtain in depth. look at the, the dark side, the show. forget about it. that's not what the show who designed to do, and you're not going to get that any sort of controversy surrounding the show that's completely ignored in favor of a real sort of warm and fuzzy trip down memory lane. what makes friends so popular? because we said it was and is still so popular for so many people. yeah, i think, i mean, one of the cats itself, i mean, i think that really was catching liking a bottle with these group of sticks at the con, the unknown actors who somehow managed to match together to create this incredible comic energy which still comes across in this reunion show that the table reads of the old episodes and they immediately flip back to these and these characters that are so well known. i think that's part of it. and i also think the timing was something this was sort of the last cause of these big us network shows that sort

of combined, i don't know, a certain tradition of that comes of it doesn't really exist anymore. and i think people now even even young people have a real challenge for these shows, even if it's a borrowed histology 1st time they don't be actually member. i don't think there's going to show like friends since i think maybe that's one of the reasons people around the world. the wind is so special. know right, scott rock for from d w culture telling us about friends the reunion. thank you, scott. now 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 the tale of a caterpillar with an insatiable appetite during his career call wrote and illustrated more than 70 books. oh, the child ones called him a picture writer,

a term 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 anything really is the idea in us. the idea come from the book was originally conceived as a week with really one. and one wonders if this book would have done quite as well without its catchy title. it has been translated into 66 languages. it's german titles roughly translates as the little caterpillar never full. eric call had his own theory of why the book was so successful. i think it is the children need home. you middle in music and caterpillar can grow up

into a beautiful butterfly and fly into the world with your title. 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. when sports item for you in football, send it in, sit down and stepping down as coach around the grid with immediate effect that's cording to the club. the frenchman as quick as days after the spanish team was narrowly beaten to the legal title by local rivals, athletic madrid, and his 2 spells as coach dan led rail to, to leave titles and 3 champion lead when. but this season, the club has come away without a sophie for the 1st time and 11 years. and we reported yesterday on the lunar eclipse, that stargazers in the pacific rim region were treated too. but last night, a huge super moon grad,
