population that is displacing, it's becoming very, very difficult to reach the destination. and will you and play any part in assisting the evacuation. we've been playing a part in terms of assisting the evacuation, securing the roads and providing assistance, including water and food for those will have displaced and moving towards the safer location. what was even more important is that system that we've been providing in terms of technical assistance to monitor and to try to predict the next activity over the k. no, this is a very active volcano, very dangerous. and we need all resources including scientific expertise, to be able to try to predict the next move when and how agreed it will be it whole day. very close. predict it will kind of get it on that point. i mean trick because there was an eruption on saturday,

but came within a few 100 meters of the city, yet this time no erosion yet, but sources are moving people out. so what is, what is the difference between the 2 situations, while thoughts is more concerned about this future potential eruption? as i said, look in as i very, very difficult to predict. so directional set to do was on predicted. and it came as a surprise and therefore led to the population, leaving immediately the town of coma to read it to reach safety. now since then, we've been monitoring the volcano using our resources. and the this is using a helicopter and drawn reconnaissance bites to actually reach the volcano and try to look into the crater to get an assessment of the 11th leak. that exists in said that creator, depending on the assessment of that level, nick, how high the leather is on how low, how, how hard the fuel that is coming out of it. we can somewhat predict if there is

a risk or be another option or not. but also since saturday we've been witnessing large number of earthquakes, we're talking about sometimes up to 5 earthquakes, an hour. and some of them are really dangerous because not only to scare the population by the needing to cracking the half hours since demolishing some of the buildings. so this or so, in addition of threat to the population and the safety and security, i will thank you so much for joining us militia. well, oma, a boat from the u. n. and goma and apologies for some of the technical quality of the interview. as look ahead now to some more news making headlines around the world. dozens of people who have drowned in western nigeria as an overloaded boat ferrying around 100. 65 people, a sunk in the niger at the boats and less central niger station. this having for

what can be stayed when he broke into rescue workers they tried to, people survived to bodies of been found. the australian state victoria is back in a 7 day lockdown. a new outbreak of corona virus infections detected this week. a seen 26 cases so far, people are only allowed to leave their homes for essential purposes, such as getting the vaccination. you foreign ministers meeting in portugal to discuss further sanctions on better. bruce ministers want to come up with a list of targeted economic sanctions. they block has already bad weather, lucy and airlines from the skies germans high co mass as the president, alexander lucas shanker, must pay a high price for forcing the landing of a ryan at play in order to arrest a dissident journalist. this is the best of us. we find what lucas shanker did, so when acceptable that the european union cannot just remain silent, but must consider in a very focused way over the coming weeks. how we can continue to raise the pressure

on bell roof and look at thank you. cinco de w, corresponding band vegas. he's out the meeting of a foreign ministers and told me about today's discussions. but the summit to talk the foreign minister has to come up with a list of the list of options for possible sanctions. and for the 1st time, not only individual would, might be responsible for the re routing up the flight in the rest of the 2 positions. figures, but also whole sectors of the bill of russian economy shall be targeted. talk about sanctions against a very profitable 3 which produces the potassium salts and also the petrochemical industry shall be targeted. and also maybe the financial sector. this, this would mean a huge enlargement of both sanctions and the christians also the assessment of these possible things. it's really a hit. the people have been of us where they hit only the leadership over,

they also harm the economy in europe itself. right. and then you bring that one export because what one does, what the point of the sanctions is, what does the in you hope to achieve by piling more sanctions on one of europe's poorest countries when the current sanctions seem to have had so little effect. yeah, it's right to say the sanction. so if i have to have no girl so that you is now willing to enforce most sanctions, because these are saying this incident on sunday was crossing a red line. and there has to be a signal not only to beta rose, but also to russia, which is the staunch is ally of the roof. and the german for mr. hagaman. even a heightened surprise. he said, not only half these 2 people that were arrested on sunday to be released, but all 400 political dissidents, detainees in bella, was, have to be released before the sanctions can be lifted. but there's some technical

steps to take that there will be no decision today that will take another days or even weeks until these new sanctions will take effect was ban sir riga to in lisbon. meanwhile, russia is retaliating against a huge battle flights of the bell roofs in support of its ally. austrian airlines says that russia's denied land information and to a flight from vienna to moscow because it hadn't passed over balance on route. it's a 2nd such incident in 2 days. on wednesday, an air france flight was cancelled when moscow wouldn't approve the flight route. it also bypassed bearers us president joe biden has ordered a new investigation into the origins of the corona. virus is asked intelligence had to deliver their findings. within 3 months, us agencies are divided over whether the virus emerged from an infected animal or from the barracks. the accident. with han institute of or ology house is the

biggest virus bank in asia. it's a maximum security bio lab. 3 researchers fell ill in november 2019, and were hospitalized with flu like symptoms, weeks before the 1st identified case of the cobit 19 outbreak. the wall street journal was the 1st to publish these new details. quoting a u. s. intelligence report. the hypothesis is that the virus spread to humans after a lab accident. 2 weeks ago, 18 prominent scientists wrote a letter to the journal science calling for a new investigation into the origin of colbert 19. every laboratory in the world, including our very own c, d. c, and i contain laboratories in the united states. they all have had laboratory accidents, laboratory accidents happen everywhere. they're humans, humans are fallible. so it's absolutely reasonable to think that some other

laboratory also had an accident. not least because the move on institute studied corona viruses and their transmission through bat, china has dismissed the lab leak theory. it says reports of 3 sick researchers are online and maintains there was 0 infection among the hon institute staff. after months of negotiations, china allowed a fact finding mission led by the world health organization to travel to hon. more than a year after the pandemic outbreak, the panel concluded that the virus probably originated in bats and passed to humans through an intermediate animal. the laboratory incidents and i put this is extremely unlikely, but some team members complained that they were denied sufficient access to data by the chinese authorities. now the u. s. is calling for a new investigation, one that reaches

a definitive conclusion on this from date of the report. william blue cross. welcome william, but let's start with, with these investigations. so we just heard that the w h o or already held an investigation. why does president biden think that a us lead investigation is going to get further and more access than the world health organization? well, i think we just heard about it in the report. the w h o investigators were really being controlled quite heavily by chinese authorities. it's of course in china's interest for their own credibility and their own respect on the world stage that this, this doesn't land on their plate, so to speak. if it were to found, be found out that there was a lab leak in one of their most prestigious labs in whoo, hon. now, of course, with the us intelligence community doing their own reporting, us intelligence, cia, and i say other organizations they don't need permission from china or for any other country to go about their business at the very nature of intelligence. so

they may have more access, more sources, more, more ability to gather information, as is their job, the navy, the w h o would have in negotiations with china. but we know that none of this was really new. although there's growing skepticism about the natural emergence theory, you know, serious scientists have been looking at this question since the beginning of the pandemic and looking for answers. ok. so the, as you say, 2 theories, one either emerge naturally or the other is that there was a lab accident. and why is that the lab accident theory so sensitive? well, of course, lab accidents would mean culpability liability. there could be legal claims. there could be huge financial damages, of course, and of course the political ramifications there's respect and prestige on the world stage, as i mentioned. and also, let's not forget that a year ago, donald trump, for president united states, he was pushing a very nativist anti china,

almost conspiracy. that this was somehow intentionally leaked by china to damage the world. they were. and china, for part, had conspiracies against the united states that there was somehow a u. s. military plot against china. there's been a lot of just very strange and unfounded accusations going back and forth. and very few serious scientists wanted to have anything to do with those kinds of claim, even if there might be some truth to them. that is the problem with the credibility of the trouble ministration. that even when they said things that were correct or worthy of investigating people still kept their distance, it was something of a boy who cries, wolf, situation, that donald trump created. of course, not only on donald trump, and it should be said as we heard him report that accidents happen all the time. and this could very easily simply be one of them. not because a conspiracy, not because of a bio weapon or anything sinister, but just because humans as we heard in the report or follow ok, but i us investigation, whatever it finds. not just another brick in the wall of antagonism between the

united states and china. oh, very much so, and we should see this in the bigger political contacts at the u. s. and china are in a great power game right now, joe biden, and his administration have made no secret that china is their number one foreign policy challenge. viewing china as a threat in some areas, a competitor in some areas and trying to see it as a partner in other areas like climate change. and that is going to hold china to account whether it's on trade, whether it's on military aggression and expansion, all on number of issues where the us east china as a potential adversary on the world stage and a potential adversary to us interests and what's known as the post war world order of things of the u. s. leading that so this is of course just one more aspect of wanting to hold china to account and to make sure that the us comes out on top of this kind of competition. and that shouldn't be overlooked by any, by any measure willing, willing blue cross. well,

that new investigation ordered by the biden administration has prompted a change in facebook's policy. in february, the social media company started removing posts that promoted the lab origin theory . and now it has reversed that decision. so dw, i mean safe can tell us more, so took us through them. the changes to facebook policy uncovered 19, well february 8th, facebook updated its policy to say that any post that mentioned or claimed that the corona virus was manmade would be removed. and anybody who violated that policy multiple times could have their account, remove this included pages and individuals. that is not equivalent to the lab league theory, because a lab league theory says it also could have come from bad, not that it was man made, but a lot of times those got conflated. and so you had journalists whose work was taken down. who said that this lab league theory had some some weight to it, but then they updated their policy on wednesdays saying that they're no longer going to enforce this man made

a theory that this needs to be taken off their website. now, what's interesting is that when they said why they are take, why they changed their policy, they said we're continuing to work with health experts to keep pace with the evolving nature of the pandemic. that's not admitting that they were wrong is just saying that things change. and so does our policy, which is also like saying, well, this thing that we said was debunked is not actually debunked, which in that case would merit an apology. a feel of conspiracy theorists around the world can get busy and the policy did annoy a lot of facebook uses. so what i'm saying now? well, we found some tweets of people who are actually affected by this one. twitter user can blackwell. he said that his facebook page was punished for sharing this. we had the theory months ago so much for the fact checkers. so taking on the fact checkers there, micah said pretty incredible that we gave facebook and twitter the okay to flag all news about the will hand lab as disinformation last year. evan greer points out

that facebook's reverse on this makes it clear how arbitrary and effective these rules can be. even though he says that this could be used by the right wing. then glen greenwald called for accountability, and someone named new deal hawk said this is a lot of resentment to put out there, considering that we still don't know one way or another. so that's a dissenting voice saying, why are we accusing facebook of retracting this when the truth is that we don't really loudly theory is still pretty improbable just now being considered serious. i mean, se, thank you. john chancellor, i'm going to america. he's meeting the leaders of the countries 16 states to discuss next moves in loosening corona virus restrictions, one measure being considered is vaccinating children in the capitol schools a partially open and staggered timetables. i mean that pupils aren't all in classrooms at the same time. oh,

leander quickly prints out the latest worksheets before math class. the last time he was able to attend school with his entire class was over a year ago. since the outbreak of the corona virus pandemic schools have been closed for most of the time. day after day, landra has online classes, according to a set schedule. he's actually a good student with home school and he finds it hard to keep up that we haven't the same book and we're under so much pressure. the whole day, my head is full of deadline. for example, i need to work on things that are due on wednesday or thursday. but i know i won't be able to meet the deadlines because i still have so much to do and other subjects and find a clinton landeros mother. power booked off, isn't just the teacher. she also acts as a counselor and confidant for students. since the 1st locked down began over a year ago, most students are seeking help never before us get

a little clear cases of children who live only with their mother, but the mother drinks at bidding alcohol. oh, we have a boy who doesn't get along with his father at all because they now have to work together at home all the time. because the father works from home. the boy has home schooling home or they are constant conflict in conflict on it. and as soon as something happens, the kids call me because they're in need of support can be understood sort the reviews that he was absent in english thought, oh gosh, epson ferguson. p fees, you write. why laurel p e a s natalie from a short monitor? i'm, i'm not sure i sometimes miss my momma who'd help me straight off if she were here

at harrison convent. good. here we her come. she has to work and philip and i are here and we're doing our assignments and trying to manage everything as best we can . we just have good social food. and another kind of looseness. and if you don't want to do anything anymore, it almost makes you feel a bit depressed. yeah, the depression is a big one, but it's, it's sick. you're sad and don't want to do anything. your body's telling you use too much time that the computer isn't there. under too much pressure, it expresses that by making a sound that's always me. french presidency. manuel macro has said his country bears a heavy responsibility for the genocide. in rwanda, nearly 20 years ago, he was speaking during a visit to the jury, which he also admitted that france had failed the 800000 victims of the aside. when he backed what he called the country's genocidal regime. but he stopped short of apologizing. the

continued his speech by saying, i remember in can you wonder the booker, my call didn't apologized, but received praise from ron the president. nonetheless, this was a powerful speech or the special meaning his was were something more valuable than an apology to cement the refreshment micro wants to appoint a french ambassador to wonder a spot that hasn't been filled in 6 years. for some london, his speech fell short of an apology. for others, it signaled the beginning of a new chapter in french london relations. now it's been 17 years since the final episode of non funds of hit tv show friends are in for

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 anyone really is in the 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. that has been translated into 66 languages. it's german keitel 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 a children need hope. you middle insignificant caterpillar can grow up into a beautiful butterfly and fly into the world with your title. his signature
