latest flash point in europe, the relationship with its autocratic neighbors. well d, w, 's, burnt of a god. was that the you foreign ministers meeting in lisbon and sent us this update? there are a lot of harsh words and anger from the european men as the guy that the lisp on they say, the actions from the leadership amount to stay terrorism, hijacking, and crimes. and that's why they say a red line has been crossed and the you has to react swiftly and harshly. so for the 1st time home sectors of the bell, russian economy will be targeted with a new set of sanctions, especially the potassium solid industries in the focus because it's very lucrative for the leadership in minsk and the you is also that this new measures will also have repercussions and counter measures, not only from bella ruth, but also from its closest ally, russia. so this could be the beginning of

a downward spiral of measures and counter measures. and he's got some breaking news coming in. germany has, for the 1st time, formerly recognized that it committed genocide in the movie. the can no colonial era crimes involved. the massacre of tens of thousands of hair and number of people . germany says it will pay more than 1000000000 euros in reparations. we'll have more details on that story coming up. meanwhile, tens of thousands of people are leaving the city of goma in the democratic republic of congo authorities, a warning that a nearby volcano could erupt at any time. mount gone, go is in the east close to the border with ro, wanda lava almost reached drama, and the reaction last weekend authorities fear a repeat could be much more serious. so quick escape seems all but impossible. the road leading out of coma are jammed with traffic. tens of thousands of

residents are trying to flee many by current, because mountaineer gumbo could erupt again at any time this year for the domain. so right now is to get my family to safety. we don't know what can happen with the volcano. we can feel a lot of rumblings people are being told to leave the city of coma. otherwise many will die clo food mattresses, the residence of the north cuban region, and the democratic republic of congo, rush to pack their most necessary belongings. many are headed to neighboring rwanda . those who don't have a car make their way out on foot, were trying to escape by boat. but the port is also packed. these orphan children are among the lucky ones to make it out. mountaineer gonzo is considered one of the world's most dangerous volcanoes,

the erupt and last saturday claimed at least 32 life experts. one this time could be much worse. your so called limited eruption because smother the area with carbon dioxide and kills 1000. let's take a look at other stories making headlines at this hour. a group of 8 hong kong activists have been hand this new prison term for their role in a pro democracy protests that started in that 2019. they include the jails, media, mobile, jimmy ly, who was sentenced to another 14 months behind 5 thousands of people have celebrated the election when of serious president charlotte, in damascus. the parliamentary speaker said, not 195 percent of the votes making this his full term in office. his reign has survived the bloody civil war that his fort was fort since 2011 western nations have condemned the election as fortune and you and human rights chief,

says israel, the recent test drive on garza may amounts to war. crime shows the accused the palestinian militant group. hamas are violating international humanitarian law by firing rockets into israel. the un human rights council is launching an investigation into alleged crimes committed during the 11th day. germany, a chance to also current of respect seems to children from the age of 12 next month . chancellor angler, michael announced the policy off the talks with the regional leaders. the bar and take 5, the vaccine is like you to become the 1st to be approved for use on children under 16 years old in the you. but germany's vaccine commission is still debating whether it's recommend they take the shot. the tv attrition and the la stan bag is already administering the vaccine to kids from the age of 16, he'd like to lower that age further and on with this cannot

improve. i think it is very important vaccinate children because we have seen in the pediatric practice now children and young people have been somehow so gotten over the last them and get their often thought to pass on. the virus will not be able to answer questions on the health minister spun had been pushing to the mood. he even proposed reserving over 6000000 vaccine doses for children aged 12 to 15. instead, they can now join the rush for a vaccination appointment when the prioritization of vulnerable age groups is listed on june. the 7th that germany's vaccination watchdog is concerned about the lack of available data on possible side effects in children. it will likely only recommend the job for kids with pre existing conditions. these children at risk of severe illness, we can white in the circle once we gain more experience about the age group of i

think come, that seems remain a precious commodity in germany, where millions of more vulnerable adults have yet to be inoculated against cove at 19 so there's plenty of skepticism about enabling children to join all those competing for a vaccine. now, india is still battling a 2nd devastating wave of the pandemic. children may be among the least likely to be killed by covert 19, but they do suffer in other ways, especially when their own parents die from the disease. w money or charging reports from delhi on how one organization is trying to help the most vulnerable. for 9 years now, 3 people that had worked with children from under the 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 with 19 their numbers are growing, children are being made to quit education and take up household responsibilities

and are also being pushed into child labor as their families have of 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 project fall out of the funding. many have lots mother or father are both leaving them extremely one that since last year the n g, a pretty work has provided support to talking children who have been offered. you took over 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 have 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 that 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 labor. the real issue really 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. probably the head of the daily commission for protection of child, right. also, advocates for living for the 3 things need to happen. one, these scheme 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 studying different existing schemes of the government could be 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 got home because of all of it, years of hard work that we and the children had put in seem to have gone waste or home. we are now trying to get them back to their studies. and so different activities we are trying to use them and had them come out of the difficult situations. 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. now, scientists say a giant tortures discovered in the galapagos islands belongs to a species that was the extinct more than a century ago. now the collapse of national park is looking for more of the reptiles in hope of saving the species. this giant tortoise

is thought to be between 80 and a 100 years old age was found 2 years ago on fen, an dina island in the galapagos this. now, thanks to genetic testing, scientists have finally been able to identify the tortoise. it belongs to the callo noise, dis fantastic. his family, a species thought to be extinct. more than a century ago. it's a dream. it's a hope for a new species. have told us in the collapse we found a new species that had been registered extinct, and it gives us strength and energy to continue with all our conservation programs for us. there are 15 species of giant tortoise, native to the calamitous archipelago, which is off the coast of ecuador. the current population of this member of the

title family is estimated to be around $60000.00. and now that another species has been re discovered the hunt is on to find more in the hope of saving it from extinction. this is d w news line from berlin. they'll be more news at the top of the hour. i'm reading the bahamas. that's watching the news on the green. you feel worried about the i'm the on the on the green things. we need to change. join me present the green transformations for me, for you,

for the plan. ah, the china cities are growing at a breathtaking pace. megan metropolises with glittering facades, but the own trowbridge with a major cities lily, what the way they're thinking is to have the high end because of the high end population. more and more chinese moving from the country to the city. but beyond the shiny high rises the streets, and narrow loud and dirty. there is no regulation or law in china that protects the tenant rights. homeowners are expropriated, forced to yield to the construction boom, building spaces in high demand. those left behind have no legal recourse. they become desperate and my house has gone torn down,

everything's gone. join the struggle for living space li cheese young is ready to defend his home, to the last of the china as such does not have a particularly dense population. vantage scrolling urban agglomeration. ah, it is with millions of inhabitants are practically sprouting up overnight. mega cities, modern glamorous, and poland. 2 in 198020 percent of china's population lived in cities. today that figure has risen to 60 percent over 800000000 people.

no country in the world has as many large cities with over 1000000 inhabitants. china has more than one good. experts expect dancing to double in just a few years. the german architect, action phonic moved to china as its boom was well underway. he has lived and worked here for 11 years. of course, everyone thinks you can find your fortune in the biggest cities, jane, shanghai engine. that's where the big money is. it's part of a chinese dream to live and work in the big dazzling cities. but most of the former rural residents looking for work can't afford to do so. millions of them are constantly on the move as migrant workers. this is my 1st one, which i said because there's not just a few of them at several 100 millions. and i think it wound up new york as well. i don't know the exact number. it's about 2 or 300000000 people. maybe more

constantly wandering from one place to the next to make money because they can't at home can oh dog. and i get so that's a whole can they can get that guns in there. they could only work in the fields is i don't even that isn't so easy anymore because so much land is so contaminated, it's become completely infer tile, right? and, and then the laurel exit as has led to rapidly increasing rents in cities. in 2017 an apartment in beijing cost about $620.00 euros in rent. whereas the average salary of the asian official was around 1400 years, barely twice the rent, ah, by comparison and migrant worker, and around $455.00 euros a month in 2017. making a city apartment way beyond his means. ah,

david and sky has lived in hong kong for 14 years. he has witnessed the social upheaval across china from afford these new apartments that are built these very rapidly by the ninety's were becoming really expensive and you needed to have a proper job and a proper work permit, etc, to even be able to buy property. so they were world people living and working in the city, and it was natural for them to look for spaces that accepted them where migrant and low income workers can afford to live in china. so cold urban villages, formerly real villages surrounded by fields. today they are surrounded by the city . no greater, no glass for sobs, but affordable places that mostly remain hidden from tourists. curious gaze and that's the village, just a tight urban space, almost like a large city block. just packed with migrant.

ah, hardship, megacity engine. we managed to film one of these poor neighborhoods. here, people live in cramped quarters under the most difficult conditions. filming is not officially allowed. we weren't granted permission to capture the dark side of china's economic if you renting a room in a very central village, it might be more than one on the outskirts. but you could find a room, maybe a share, and you'd pay 202300, maybe $500.00 rimming be per month. you know, 4050 euros or something like that. 50 euro for a place to sleep in a dorm compared to 620 for an entire apartment. we want to learn more about the living conditions for the residents here. ms. lee shows us her apartment. she and her husband and daughter share 7 square meters. although she and her husband both

have jobs, they can't afford anything larger me. at least they have a window that's not always the case. they have to pay for electricity, water, even school life in a city is expensive. me. i hope the room costs $100.00 euros per month home outside the urban village is out of the question. other residents also show us their spaces. although we try to be as inconspicuous as possible, we get called several times. no cameras allowed me, we stopped filming. china is a surveillance state, but the police can't be everywhere. but in these 4 areas, we stand out as foreigners or them all with professor architecture. john do works at hong kong university. she specializes in

large metropolitan areas and urban villages. there are urban villages. every single china, every single city, some has hundreds, some has 1000, some have a handful of decades. the chinese government has considered urban villages to be eyesores, that hindered progress and modernization me. they went to vanish from the cities, gave me and make room for the new modern way of living. make room for skyscrapers and shopping malls so urgently needed that the urban villages awesome. make way for them and the residents, they hardly put up any resistance. they know there is little point in standing up to the government. so they pack up what they own and move on. most of the

reasons why a government would want to be part of a demolition process to demolish. and urban is because that either the government or a developer, deans, there's a much better and more valuable use for the land. municipal government say the inhabitants of the urban villages should they take their homes voluntarily stand in the way of potential investors. severance payments often make it easier to let go. but those who still refuse to leave, i put under massive pressure. we learned what that meant in one joe in 2012. amidst the rubble field marking a former urban village we met last year. she had been arrested for not abandoning hope on. he told me to write a confession. i was so scared and i don't write well,

i told him i couldn't write then a fellow prisoner wrote something for me. here . she told me it was my official objection to the demolition of the house of daniel i thought i was very frightened. i was confused. i just wanted to get out. even death would have been better when the police were so cruel. they had done guns. i was terrified. that's why i just signed i sign and they let me go and left him in the right and research a david bender. he knows many cases like the jazz. he was in one joe himself in

2012. you can fool in it, in many cases like this, you can see the absolute desperation and it varies from village to village. but many people are, in this case, they are, they have nowhere to go. there is no future for them. no pensions, no place to live, their community is gone and they feel just desperate with forced signature lee j, who can neither read know right formally agree to the demolition of. she received no compensation and her signature unwittingly waived any later claim to it. so here i am, i say with one person, one day someone else, the next. what can i do? my house has gone torn down. everything is gone. no, all i can do is hang around here. what else is there to do? is if they wanted me did

the day off to the j jumped off the roof of building and killed herself. and this is a lot of people are jumping off apartment towers from if you've lived in the same place for sometimes more than 6 generations. and then it's hard to comprehend when one day someone shows up and says it's over and you have to leave or you're no longer welcome even that you have to make way for something else, a highway or elliptic stadium, or just another high rise. i'm talking these developments with particularly extreme and shin gym in 1980 paramount leader dang ciao. ping proclaimed. one of china's 1st special economic zones in what was then a small town, just under $59000.00 inhabitants. between 980-2010, according to a us report,

jane jane was the fastest growing city in human history. the city devoured the neighboring farmland and engulfed entire villages. the today, official figure station jane has over 12000000 inhabitants. in reality, it's probably more than 16 surrounding agricultural areas is still being rezoned as building land by decree. the urban villages within the city are also expected to make way for lucrative new buildings. a law was passed from the central government . all village land inside a certain vicinity, now become nationally owned, meaning the land is no longer on by the villages. they're owned by the government. so this is done by law, by national law. so you cannot say it's illegal, you could say it's the legality. the correctness of the law, we can argue, but it's, it's a national want. so therefore,

the villagers found themselves to over night, not only this government decree and the 1990 is stated that a good cultural land belonged to the state. the phone is killing the land, had no other option than to give in to the states wishes to land into money. the privilege collectively which is rural and into savvy and belongs to the collective of the community. and they transfer it into basically state owned land, state use land, which means that can be developed for. and then they basically auction off the land often to private developers. well, or state linked, often state own developers, big companies that then build apartments and infrastructure in this kind of thing.

in the end, all the farmers were left with where their houses in the village center and the chinese law. these belong to the collective of all villages, and as such, cannot be expropriated as easily villagers living in the local villages in the city. the urban villages recognize the huge economic opportunity. i will take my one or 2 story apartment on my plot of collective land, and i will build it to 78 stories that much as much real estate as i can get right . and i rent it to migrant families or individual migrants coming in. and so this is what happened, they became landlords farmers, deprived of their fields, had to find creative ways to make money. they built their houses as cheaply and efficiently as possible, as high as the foundations would carry it still common practice to day and there's even a word in china. the word for farming is job be to,

to farm the land and they talk about fuel font to, to farm home to farm house. the new landlords have to build up these hazard living space quickly to be able to rent it out as soon as possible. building regulations like those, the glittering modern policies must adhere to have no bearing here. it's true that when you go into these urban villages, often it's very dark. the electrical grid is basically all jerry rigged. if you have wires just crossing each other, they look like spiderwebs, you know, in this kind of almost cave like environment. the reason for this cave like environment is because on the 1st floor they build a certain level. they may be 3 meters between the buildings as a kind of loose regulation, right? they can't be too close together. you need some, some access for,

for fire vehicles if you need them. and then the 2nd level they build in because they want to maximize the space, the floor space to rent more square footage or square meters means more income. so you get this kind of compression from the space until when you're on the bottom level and you look up, it's just a crack of sunlight and they call this issue and 10 or a line of sky in chinese. it's almost seem like sing light under a closed door. it's just a little bit. and so imagine that you have open sewers, who's kind of burbling, open sewers that smell like sewage. so i think a lot of people walking into the space and say, you know, this is unacceptable for urban living. we are in the oven village of my show, jo. once again, we have no permit to shoot. it's loud and stifling. the humid air condenses on the sides of the buildings. the houses are overcrowded and the narrow

dark alleys reek of old food mold and urine. many of the buildings don't have working toilets, running water or a washing machine. a luxury is hardly any one here can afford the up and villages are scattered throughout the inner cities of china's major cities. their inhabitants paid the price for their country's boom, and they reminded him that every day he, even by those who were less unfortunate, even in the city election day, the president public images that they're all dirty. they're all unsanitary, they're all bad. that that is the public image. there's no wage workers who live have a major contributors to the cities economic flourishing. it even so they are

a thorn in the side of the government. the. they want to build a profitable apartment buildings there, and they want to sell the land for a lot of money to developers. because this is a primary source of revenue. still for many cities in china, it's not tax revenue, income tax. it's probably it's revenue from lansdale, huge profits to be had in the property and housing market in major chinese status. by the summer of 2019 average property prices in jen, jen had skyrocketed compared to 10 years earlier. in beijing they also rose sharply . land for construction is becoming increasingly st gas. and anyone who snaps it up cheap can expect to have the profit criticism to ation, where the student is determined to get the land of the villagers. and they don't want to pay a fair price for that land. they want it cheap so they can sell it at a profit to the all over the country. the government forces up and villages to give

way to new construction projects in the name of progress local protestors mostly in vain. police city administrations and building contractors form a powerful alliance. something that public shouldn't be aware of. the land, it's not owned by individual visitors. the land is collecting loan by the village. so what that means is that the village collective in some cases is a handful of elderly men, whole a lot of power in negotiation. so most of the times when it is a negotiation between a developer or government about the fate of certain village, they are not going to all the villagers. they're going to say the representatives of the village, which usually is the village elders. the village collective villages are at the mastery of their representatives, negotiating skills, and they don't always act in the best interest of the community. again and again,

negotiations take place completely behind the backs of the homeowners concerned. there's been examples where the villagers have no idea the head of their village. quite a company has signed an agreement with a developer to sell their village and they took the money and left china. in recent years, hundreds of thousands have been forced out of their homes and up and villages. only a few dare to take his stand. one of them is lee cheese in kwan joe is pitted against the city administration and a powerful contract to his family has lived in the urban village of young g for generations. once it was a farming village with 3000 inhabitants. now it has become home to over 70000 migrant workers in the middle of the financial district of one jo. please

a little while they tearing down so early at 6 am because they want to do it in secret. we 1st met lee, his wife and 2 children in 2012 day out and laughed, remaining residence in their building. not long ago, 50 people share the same roof. they had come to the city from the countryside in the hope of a better life. lee jones family as own the house and the surrounding plot of land for generations. he has documents to prove it. oh, john, this is a title deed from the 32nd year of the republic of china sands. that would be 1943 . you only had in the 8th month of the moon, only 70 years ago. she's been haven't years. she's older than the communist party. those are older than the people's republic of china. don't. don't quite look,

war locked me. this document is not just a title date. it also shows that lee is officially a rural citizen with fewer rights in the city. so china has a system of what's called household registration, where the people are actually registered to their either urban or rural area of usually burst the system date to the 1950 is at that time every household had to make a decision. rural meant that they were entitled to a plot of land for subsistence farming, urban guaranteed a workplace, subsidized housing, access to education and health care and attention. lately speaking, li, tga is rural resident, outside the up and village. he lives and he has no right to use public saturdays unless he manages to buy an apartment in the city. mm. but until you

purchase a property in a city, you cannot get your local registration card. you what's called the who call. you just do not have local registration, which means it's almost impossible to get into local schools. your kid will not have a school and he won't have access to health care back compensation for the house would help ease the families desperate financial situation. they could stay in the city by an apartment register and find walk, walk, lee g song bombs, that neither the city administration nor the building contract will hear anything of it. and he went back down to greater letters film, his struggle. that night the utility lines to his house had cut off. well, what was, what was, what was

what was the power here come the police, but that was not them. ah, no one expects any help from the police. the family is forced to improvise. water is only available at the edge of what has become a desert, a rubble to get there. they have to run a gauntlet of angry construction workers. a generator supplies to family with electricity is always on guard and hasn't left the house for months. ah, he's heard of cases where construction workers have been quick to deal with residents like him and that scares him. but he wants to hold out until the end for himself and for his family. and this is why you have the whole phenomenon of what we call nail houses or, or,

and chinese things who individual land own property owners. they call the owners villagers who decide they're going to stay in their property, that they're going to hold out and wait for proper compensation by going head to head with the local property company and city leaders. and they stayed, they call them now houses because they're like nails that can't be pulled out. there are hundreds of nail houses in china. some of them have even made the front pages of international newspapers assigned to protests that it's usually broken at some point. the chances of winning the battle are slim. the other side is too powerful, and people evicted from their homes are often injured in the process. shown this and his gearing up as if the battle, the

a you can throw that out the window. it has a brick as an anchor jago homes. then i can light the fuse and run away home and deal with leisure has prepared enough homemade explosives to bring it all down. if anyone gets in, they won't make it out alive. he films himself as he places them throughout the building. ah, the key that uses for this road this is for the stairs one for down the 2nd floor. the entrance there from this is that when there is for the rooms on the ground floor and

disconnects the gas to the room, the bombs on the roof here. and here everything is labeled. if you're going to do it, you have to do it right? so the individual nail hauser who basically arms his, his 6 story building as an explosive device, ready to go off as soon as his home is invaded, is only the mirror image of the violent city government that's in cahoots with the property developer that will cut your electrical lines and beat up your relatives and harassed your kids on the way to school. the tactics are very different on either side. both sides are resorting to violence and the threat of violence to get what they want. it's the law of the jungle. shows resistance has put the construction work months behind schedule. tension is rising at the buildings site, the pulses past their frustration onto their employees. if nothing gets built,

no one gets paid. the 1st workers lose their patients and to tack a form, a neighbor. leach, he's stuck in his own home. can't come to her aid, the police arrive, but don't into the day. yeah, you police are all crooked, nothing but small time crooked. the big crux of the corrupt official. what you just represent the government, you only say whatever the government tells you to. i tell the truth was go ahead and write me up so you will charge me with whatever you want. i've already been to court. you only act in the interest of the government. you say your job is to defend the law, but you don't think officially all homeowners in the village and proceed generous compensation. li cheese young denies this and speaks of corrupt officials

embezzling funds. sure, the government has paid out money, he says, but it doesn't seem to care who gets it. ah, there are lots of examples of corruption in the area, including the government would provide a certain amount per month. certain number, yet per person, per resident in the village, per month for a period of 3 years, for example, from loss of livelihood that they took farmland. right? because this was a source of livelihood. and i had documents of the time that that were provided by people to me that would show that basically the head of the village hadn't had over reported the number of villagers eligible. so you look at the kind of roster of the population of the village and what was reported to city authorities with all the stamps from the county level, from this office, from the for everyone who were probably involved to, to over report the amount of compensation that was due but where did the compensation go for years,

corruption has been one of china's most serious problems and the government is determined to tackle it. it seems to have spread everywhere.
