[000:00:00;00] ah was whose ah, this is the w news coming to life from berlin. for the 1st time, germany acknowledges committed genocide during its colonial rule in the maybe up up to a 100000 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 their descendants. some are unhappy with the deal. also coming up tens of thousands leave the city of goma in the democratic republic of congo. after authorities warrant of

volcano is about to erupt for the 2nd time in a week. sciences fear a 2nd reduction could be catastrophic. then germany stepped up. is that correct? by respect, nation drive, children over 12 will be able to get a job starting next month. ah. hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. it's taken nearly 6 years of talks, but today germany is for the 1st time acknowledging that it committed genocide during its colonial rule in what is now namibia in southern africa, german troops massacred tens of thousands of herrera and nama people between 19041900 no 8. now more than a 100 years later, it has reached a deal with the government of namibia on how to atone for the atrocities. this

small plaque in berlin's nikon district remains the only visible memorial in germany of the violence committed in namibia. now, foreign minister hi, co mass has announced germany will finally recognize the atrocities of genocide. 1.1000000000 euros will be given to support development in namibia focused on herrera nama communities. between 19041908 german imperial forces. and what was then known as german south west africa, violently suppressed uprisings by the nama and herrera ethnic groups, and forced them into the, does it tens of thousands of herrera and nama was shot, starved, and tortured to death by german troops. it is estimated that 3 quarters of the herrera and half of the non people were wiped out. it took an entire century for a german politician to even recognize it happened. i asked you to give us our trespass. precipices and our guilt. but the

german government of the time, back peddled, saying the minister had spoken as a private pass and herero nama groups, have consistently demanded an official apology and financial reparations from the german government. for what historians consider the 20th century 1st genocide, germany has insisted on negotiating a reconciliation deal with the namibian government, not the victims, descendants. germany is just beginning to reckon with its colonial passenger, but this reconciliation deal is one step in that direction. and for more to join by our political correspondent in manuel shaw's m. a. german officials have been negotiating with namibia and the herrera and nama peoples for years. how did they finally reached this deal? while the german government has actually neglect isn't? and then the median government,

instead of negotiating directly with the communities impacted, which is one of the aspects we so end up we forward. it has been a long time in the making more than 5 years. 6 years of negotiations. and these highly symbolic gesture, today with foreign minister, high command saying that germany acknowledge the genocide and we refer to such as of now this has been more than a century for more than a century. it has been subjected to debate here in germany. and of course, today, this is highly significant that germany off for forgiveness to the media for the crimes committed doing its colonial rule. now in addition to recognizing its colonial era crimes, as genocide, germany is also put together is also put together financial aid package for namibia and for the river and other peoples. tell us more about that. well, this has long been

a bone of contention in those negotiations because germany refuses to, to give compensation, which is why what the over herero and my community were asking for. instead, gemini pledges took me to budge at the 1100000000 years, but that that's about one point. $34000000000.00 in order to support the media financially and to support development of the hero and communities. however, the representative of the traditional herrera and mama community would have liked germany to significantly, you know, agreed to give compensation, you know, in a way to atone for the past. so even if that's a forward between the relation between germany and the media, this still some work to do, i've asked for

a time and with regards to the communities directly impacted. of course, there's much more to germany's colonial legacy. there are collections of looted arts and even body parts in german museums from africa. how is all that being dealt with? well, that's a very little known fact here, at least in germany and in europe, is up at tens of thousands of body parts and coast to remain in the basement of museums of libraries of universities here, and descendants of the heroine. now, my community is also off for the return of the looted body parts, so they can give proper burials to their ancestors industrious. something that remains to be addressed by the german government and such as such is also the return of his art or political corresponding mental assurance. thank you very much . to the democratic republic of congo or tens of thousands of people

are leaving. the city of goma authorities are warning that a nearby volcano could erupt again at any time mount nearer gonzo is in the east, close to the border with rwanda lava almost reached goma. in an eruption last weekend, authorities fear repeated that could be much more serious. quick escape seems all but impossible. the roads leading out of coma or gems with traffic . tens of thousands of residents are trying to flee many by cars, because mountaineer gumbo could erupt again at any time for the domain. so right now is to get my family to safety. so we don't know what can happen with of ok. now 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 mix away on foot were trying to escape by boat, but the port is also packed. these orphan children are among the lucky one. to make it out. mountaineer gonzo is considered one of the world's most dangerous volcanoes the erupt last saturday claimed at least 32 life experts. one this time could be much worse this year, so called eliminate eruption could smother the area with carbon dioxide and kill 1000. and joining us now is journalist reagan meant a week. he is in go, ma reagan, what's the latest on efforts to evacuate people there? so this will months, live is live is

a little know more in go my because yesterday we were being for about an event show your action to take place. that's why, at this time people who iraq community are coming again in the south because where they've been live in the states, it was as easy for them. so they're coming again because nothing happened yesterday . ok, so they're 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 going, people were moving. there must be some there were some class that's working, asked to tradition to organs were the easy for them. that's why the us again to people to go even that not because in the last, when god symbol, meaning that's where people were moving,

but people were moving parts which they were government. they went everywhere for going everywhere. is this a fairly orderly thing? the way that people are being evacuated there are authorities or do authorities really have the resources they need to make this happen in an orderly way. no, no, no, not. there is no the so she's because it was just challenge in those who who can have read marriage. because honestly, i can see people who have been trapped writing from wilma, that would really like food, some by boat or even buy cars. but it wasn't really easy or could you have to do that? reagan, thank you very much. that was journalist reagan man

a weekend in goma taking a look at some of the stories making headlines is this. our group of 8 hong kong activists have been handed new prison terms or their role in a pro democracy protest in 2019 include jailed media mogul, jimmy ly, who was sentenced to another 14 months behind bars. 3, like as navy chief says, it could be days yet before a huge blaze on board. a container ship carrying chemicals is put out. international crews have been working to extinguish the inferno that's been burning . officer lumpkin coast for 8 days. sportswear giant nike says it parted ways with soccer superstar name our last year over his refusal to cooperate in a sexual assault investigation. nike had been looking into claims by an employee that name or had assaulted her in 2016 originally. nike gave no reason for ending and ties with the player. the international civil aviation organization is

launching an investigation after bela ruth forced a plane to land and arrested, a dissident journalist. the prob, will examine whether and here any international laws were broken. the incident is already triggered aviation sanctions from the you and leaders are now setting their sites on key areas of the revolution economy, including oil and chemical exports. yeah, they want to be heard all over the you these pro democracy activists have started this protest outside of the commissions office in warsaw. yeah, my condition and we demand that sanctions against the luca shinkel regime are introduced. we do not just want any sanctions. we want tough economic sanction. quite austin, the some single spot out at the u. foreign ministers meeting in lisbon. this is exactly what they were discussing that you had already banned. bella received

airlines from its skies. step on the agenda, economic sanctions justify this action. we've seen from lucas shinkel in bella. ruth had a terrorist character. it was so an acceptable that we're not ruling anything out station we're discussing who should be added to to think she wants a list of who that that could include. companies like the potassium fertilizer factory. last august, workers went on like the protest lucas, who, after he claimed a 6 to him and office following you, disputed election money from state enterprises like this is crucial to the regime survival. the hopes that sanctioning them will hit the regime hart. but as you was taking a tougher stance on bella, ruth, tensions with russia are also increasing. both countries for decades have been linked by a political tact since a crisis broke out, moscow has increased its backing for its allies. we must not still

says that the west stopped demonizing those it doesn't like the bella, ruthie, and authorities immediately after the incident announced that they were ready to conduct a transparent and open investigation list up to the mostly other venue. this crisis is playing out on the eastern frontiers on beller was his border. with lithuania journalists gather to protest on behalf of their jail colleagues. the fate of rum on part of it and other reporters like him has become the latest flash point in europe's relationship with its autocratic neighbors. south africa has been hit harder by covered 19 than any other nation on the continent, and the signs are, the number of infections is rising. again, this is especially worrying because so few people there have been inoculated, less than 2 percent of the population. but the vaccine rollout is making some

progress, accompanied by police force, a very important delivery. 300 precious code with 19 vaccine doses. hundreds of eligible senior citizens over 60 have been wasting the oxidation center in durban since morning to get their inoculations. i'm not happy at all, it was because most of them has lost their lives. so that is how you came here so that you get that connected so that in prevented. i think we're all very excited about least getting into the into line yet and getting it over and done with. and then we can get on with our lives again, fewer than 2 percent of sites. africans have received a job so far, less than 1000000 people. a new infections are on the rise. again, a troubling trend that signals the beginning of a 3rd wave. obviously, the numbers go up. we do already, however, we do have our response plans in place and we are ready to respond if the numbers

actually arrived any further than it is right now. a restriction could be on the card. infection rates have been low over the past 4 months, but more and more people have been ignoring the rules like composed 3 math, squaring political, my gathering, civil, so being taking place, ah, the vaccination site, next to the welcome stadium in durban, the immunizations bring some solid and the fears of research and the intentionally hoping that his gimme disappears and progress back to me. and joining us now from johannesburg is our correspondent, adrian christian adrian. another infection wave appears to be hitting south africa and the backside nation rate. there is still very low. how well is the country coping with covered 19 well indeed,

most experts say that seeing the beginning of a 3rd wave. remember after the 2nd wave in january numbers, i've been coming down for the past 4 months. life sort of go back to normally here, hardly any restrictions in place. yes, it's still compulsory to where my in public, they're still a night, could you? but if you go out the restaurant open, life is back to normal and that is still the case despite the growing numbers than many people who do believe that in the next days the government will announce further restrictions. again, they'll determine health minister understand is arriving in south africa to promote the fight against the virus. what exactly is he going to be doing? well, you'll be arriving shortly at the national health labord 3. he has to meet the south african minister of health. they will be having a tour of the laboratory and we understand that germany will support the health ministry year and laboratory with equipment to increase testing capacity, but also and protective equipment later today,

he will meet with the president of south africa and the french president who is also in the country at the moment and they will be having a round table to talk about boosting local vaccine production. a big topic, it is expected that a big announcement will be made, but we don't have any further details. what is clear, of course, is that so if africa and many african countries have been facing really challenges, strong challenges to put shays vaccines. south africa bought vaccines for 75 percent of the population, but only a fraction of that has arrived in the country. so increasing local vaccine production has been a topic that's been on the table for a long time, and it seems that europe is willing now to also support that, especially considering that in europe. so many people have been vaccinated in t of the numbers are so low, less than 2 percent of the population in south africa been vaccinated so far. adrian, thank you very much. that was d. w. correspond to adrian increase in johannesburg. well, germany plans to offer career virus vaccines to children from the age of 12

starting next month. chances are gonna miracle announce the policy after talks with regional leaders. the biotech prize iraq seen is likely to become the 1st to be approved for use on children under 16 in the e. u. but germany's back st commission is still debating whether to recommend they take the shot pediatrician and the less danbury is already administering the vaccine to kids. from the age of 16, he'd like to lower that age further in on which this cannot improve. i think it is very important to vaccinate children because we have seen in the pediatric practice how children and young people somehow. so gotten over the last dumb and yet they're often thought to pass on the virus on your devices, on health ministry. and she had been pushing to the movie, he even proposed reserving 6000000 vaccine doses for children aged 12 to 15. instead,

they can now join the rush for 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 to kids with pre existing conditions. but these children are most at risk of severe illness. we can wide in the circle once we gain more experience about the age group of light that comes, that seems remain a precious commodity in germany, where millions of more vulnerable adults have yet to be inoculated against codes at 19. so there's plenty of skepticism about enabling children to join all those competing for a vaccine. japan is set to extend to corona virus state of emergency in tokyo and other areas to june 20th that will be about a month before the expected opening ceremony of the summer olympics. japan has seen

a record number of covered 900 patients in critical condition in recent days, even as the number of new infections have slowed, its fear that lifting the emergency would cause an instant rebound in infections with some hospitals already overflowing with patients. well it's cross straight over to michael penn. he's a journalist in tokyo. michael, as we just heard the government looks set to extend that state of emergency in tokyo and other areas. what's the code? 900 situation there right now? well, as you mentioned, the number of critical cases in japan is now as high as ever been throughout the pandemic. and in fact, also the number of fatalities, number people died and each day is at the highest rate that has ever seen. that said, the 4th wave, which has been mainly driven by the u. k. or kent variance of coven, has been producing somewhat fewer new cases in recent days. so it appears that

we're now sort of on the backside of the, the 4th wave, at least in terms of new infections. so that's where we're at the moment. now there been growing calls by the public and the medical community there to cancel the olympic games due to concerns over covered 19. do you think the olympic committee will be inclined to, to recommend that well, they have been showing the exact opposite intention, which is statements coming from members of the international. the committee have essentially said that the olympics will be held no matter what. they'll be held. whether not japan has been midst of a coven waive. they'll be held whether not japan is under a coven state of emergency. and these have been statements coming from the international epic committee, so there is no sign whatsoever that they have that sort of an intention. japan has

vaccinated understand less than 10 percent of its population against cobra, $900.00. why is the vaccination roll out so slow in such a rich country? well, you know, that is a question which has really made the japanese people themselves scratch their heads . in fact, you know, this is one of the things we're really dragging down the popularity of, of the current government because the people of the japanese people are very upset with this. part of it was that's japan's very slow to authorize the vaccines because of a requirement that said that there had to be testing on ethnically japanese people in order to accept that they were effective. and then after that, the coordination between the national government and the local governments has just been glacial. it's starting to roll now it's, it's the, the movement is move, it's ramping up at the moment, but it's been really slow to get off the ground. michael, thank you very much for bringing this up to date there. that was journalist michael,

10 in tokyo. and here's some other developments in the pandemic worldwide. india has reported the lowest daily number of new corona new covered $900.00 cases over a month. but critics continue to warn that official figures could be far off the actual number of infections and deaths. the co bax bax in sharing program says it's 190000000 doses. short of its june target, its calling on wealthy countries to donate more of their supplies, and russia will supply unicef with but think be if the vaccine receives emergency approval from the world health organization. now scientists say a giant tortoise discovered in the galapagos islands belongs to a species that was declared extinct more than a century ago. now the glass blows, national park is looking for more of the reptiles in the 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 fenn and dina island in the galapagos now, thanks to genetic testing, scientists have finally been able to identify the tortoise. it belongs to the callo noise, dis fantastic with family. a species thought to be extinct. more than a century ago is a dream. for a new species have taught 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 gallagher's 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's another species has been, we discovered the hunt is on to find more in the hope of saving it from extinction. now something a bit smaller in australia, we're talking a tale of mice and more mice, a plague of the tiny rodents is threatening farming in the state of new south wales farmers fear the mass of mice could keep reading through the winter and devour their crops before harvest time, the government has introduced a 50000000 dollar package to fight the r e. s. and just a quick look at our top story. the for the 1st time, germany has acknowledged a committed genocide during its colonial rule in namibia, up to 100000 railroad and number of people were murdered by

a period of germany imperial forces. after years of talks, germany says it's now ready to apologize and offer financial support to their just say there are watching d. w news from berlin coming up next. it's global 3000. we're looking at mozambique, the coastal city fighting climate change. i'm terry martin. thanks for watching the news. the news, the news, the news, the
