the city of goma in a democratic republic of congo. after authorities, warren, a volcano, is about to erupt for the 2nd time and a weak scientist fear the 2nd russian could be catastrophic. and germany steps up as corona, virus vaccination. dr. children over 12 will be able to get a job from next month. ah. hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. it has taken nearly 6 years of talks, but today germany is for the 1st time acknowledging that committed genocide during its colonial rule in what is now namibia in southern africa, german troops massacre tens of thousands of herrera and number of people between 19041908. now, more than a 100 years later, it has reached

a deal with the government of namibia on how to atone for the atrocities. for more or less cross live to dw, corresponded in manner, shows the amount of germany's official recognition of genocide. and maybe it comes after years of the go. she, asians tell us more about the government's decision. yes, there. yes. they see the longer waited decision by the german government, take it after almost 6 years and they go station with the government media. it's a german 4 minutes to high call. mom said that it was the historical and moral responsibility of germany to acknowledge the community, the trusted, even to acknowledge these soc, is the paper tray to during the time of the journal side. it was the german colonial empires from 1884 to

1915, and that here in, in germany and perhaps in europe most so well a little was known about these parts of a german history about the called the history. and this is highly symbolic. today, germany acknowledges these genocide well, it is one of the longest ongoing debates in recent german history. coming to terms with this dark chapter has been very difficult. indeed. let's take a closer look between 19041908 german imperial forces and what was then known as german south west africa, violently suppressed uprisings by the nama, and a railroad ethnic groups, and forced them into the desert. tens of thousands of hero and nama were shot starved, and tortured to death by german troops. it is estimated that 3 quarters of the hero

and half of the non people were wiped out. it took an entire century for german politician to even recognize the captains. for the struggling, i asked you to forgive us our trespass. precipices and our guilty german government of the time back peddled, saying the minister had spoken as a private person. he wrote in ama groups f consistency demanded, an official apology and financial reparations from the german government. for what historians consider the 20th century 1st genocide, we read that it was not until 2015 that the german government used the word genocide in connection with the killings and germany has insisted in negotiating a reconciliation deal with an maybe in government, not the victims, descendants, to this day, the small plaque and the lens and cone district remains the only visible memorial of the atrocities committed against the hero and nama. germany is just beginning to

reckon with its colonial past, but this reconciliation deal is one step in that direction. and look, in addition to recognizing germany's colonial era crimes, as in namibia as genocides, it's the government has also agreed to provide financial support. or can you tell us about that? well, that's a very interesting point in 40 minutes. so high komatsu declaration, he said the financial support would come as a gesture to recognize the immense suffering inflicted on the victim full short of being what the rebel communities themselves wanted, which was a compensation and for those communities. so those honda negotiated with the german government, this was a negotiations between 2 governments where for the december and mama community as

well, they are suffering is invaluable. and they wanted symbolically a compensation and not just financial support. well, at this gesture of hypo mosse cool states will amount to $1100000000.00 euros after $1340000000.00. and this will be used to help read building. and the putting in the media, of course, is much more to germany's colonial legacy. there collections of looted art and even body parts and german museums. how are those things being dealt with? well, this is still subject to the bay, the german government of the time. and especially during the past years over the past is have been doing symbolic gesture of restitution. duty dog, for example, but also the fact that budget on history is that they are part of body parts of

codes that are being kept in the basement of university. the research institutes of libraries and then years to, to come from those, my pocket is they lived in germany century ago and again, over herero and my communities actually would like to see those body parts. oh, so we have to do them up there. and so, so, so they could be given proper burial, and that's something that being, you know, being problematic between germany and media and communities that other sexes. i'm a thank you very much, that was the w, corresponding mental health chas. i'll take a look at some other world news today. a group of 8 hong kong activists has been handed new prison terms or their role in a pro democracy protest in 2019 include jailed media mogul, jimmy ly,

time. mount nearer gonzo is in the east close to the border with rwanda lava almost reached goma in an eruption last weekend. authorities, peer a repeat could be much more serious. quick escape seems all but impossible. the roads leading out of coma are jammed with traffic. tens of thousands of presidents are trying to flee many by cars. because mountaineer are gone, go 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 of ok. no, not a good. we can feel a lot of rumblings being told to leave the city of coma. otherwise many will die clo food mattresses, the residence of the north cuban region,

but if you take place, that's why at this time people who are community are coming again in the south because where they've been living these days, it was as easy for them. so they're coming again because nothing happened yesterday . ok, so they are getting a sense that things might be ok, or at least they don't like where they had to stay before. where are the hundreds of thousands of people being moved to when they were taken out of such a big city? yesterday, people were goin, people were moving. there must be stuckey. there were some class that's working. asked to tradition to me, but easy for them. that's why the us again to people to go even that not because in the last, when god symbol many, that's where people were moving, but people were moving on fox, they were gotten,

they went to one some everywhere for, for going a work. is this a fairly orderly thing, the way that people are being evacuated their authority is our authorities really have the resources they need to make this happen in an orderly way. none. and there is no associate because everyone just challenges in those who are, who can have video resources. it's really not because honestly, i can say people who have been shrubs writing from roma. they were going buy food, some by boat, always buy cars. but it wasn't really easy or didn't have to do that. or i can say here much that was journalist reagan man, a weaker in gama. germany

plans to offer corona virus vaccines to children from the age of 12 starting next month. chancellor, i'm going to michael announced the policy after talks with regional leaders. the bio tech pies are vaccine is likely to become the 1st to be approved for use on children under 16 in the e. u. but germany's vaccine commission is still debating whether to recommend they take the shot. the pediatrician 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 in on with this can up in some i think it is very important to vaccinate children because we have seen in the pediatric practice how children and young people have been some house have gotten over the last time and yet they're often thought to pass on the virus will not be able to answer the questions on the health minister. shabani had been pushing for

the moon. 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 lifted 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 are most at risk of severe illness. we can widen the circle once we get more experience about the age group of light that comes, vaccines remain a precious commodity in germany, where millions of more vulnerable adults have yet to be inoculated against cosy 19 . so there's plenty of skepticism about enabling children to join all those competing for a vaccine. and just for we go a quick reminder of our top story. this our, for the 1st time germany is acknowledged. it committed genocide during its colonial

rule in namibia of 200000 herero, a number of people were murdered by german imperial forces. after years of talks, germany says it's now ready to apologize and offer financial support to there just said you're watching the news from berlin coming up next, we've got business with chris cobar. of course you can always get all the latest news information on our website. that's w dot com. i'm terry martin. thanks for watching the news . the news, it's been ongoing quest for a bit of the arab spring began in 2011 people stood up against corrupt,
