a visit to south africa, germany's health minister promises aid from berlin and the fight against the corona, vars. to the african countries, the hardest hit by the pandemic. as japan sees a record number of cobra, 1900 patients in critical condition and extends a state of emergency opponents of the upcoming olympics, repeat their calls for the games to be cancelled. ah, i'm to me, so i'm just going to thank you for joining us. for the 1st time, germany has acknowledged that it committed genocide during its colonial rule and what is now namibia in southern africa, german troops massacred tens of thousands of herero and now my people between 1000 no 4 and 19 o 8. under a deal reached with the government of namibia, berlin will apologize, and also fund projects worth more in

a 1000000000 euros. in the movie up german, foreign minister high coal ma said it was important to name the atrocities. small clock in berlin's nikon district remains the only visible memorial in germany of the violence committed in the media. now the german government says it is looking for real reconciliation. 1.1000000000 euros will be given to support development in namibia focusing on projects for the ethnic groups once targeted by german colonizers. and then we will now also in an official capacity call these events what they were from today perspective. a genocide i spoke with them. i also acknowledge i will have toward equal responsibility. and in the light of this historical and moral responsibility of germany, we will ask in a, maybe a and the descendants of the victims for forgiveness between 19 o 4 and 19 o. 8 german imperial forces in 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 to 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 is 1st genocide. germany has insisted on negotiating a reconciliation deal with the namibian government, not the victims descendant germany is just beginning to reckon with its colonial

pass. i enjoy this reconciliation deal is one step in that direction. for more of the story, we can speak to who crush poland sees a german politician, a member of the christian democratic union party, and he is the official representative of the german government in the dialogue in the genocide of the herero. a number of people in there may be a mr. paul, i'm thank you very much for joining us. we saw that the german foreign minister, hypo masa, said this is a step in the right direction. but i want to ask you about what we've seen from representatives of the herero, and now i'm a community today. they have said, this is a p r stunt by germany. what do you say to that? first of all, i would say that then i may be in and all be represented by the government, which they are electing, and the state has elected. there are no elected leader of barrier or not my there

are many traditional chiefs, other persons who can speak for some of them up and i'm pretty sure that in the end the result be achieved will be accepted in abroad on a broad basis. so we can look forward to have a really conciliation reader. we continue to process this between both our societies. but mr. pull them for your thing here is that you've essentially the german government has essentially negotiated with them, maybe in government on behalf of these communities. but these communities themselves, so they were not involved enough in these negotiations. so who is this reconciliation for? i don't think i don't think so that this is the correct description. the my, my median counterpart. now the way it is and hero and a very, very respected person, amongst irell communities, and in the legation they're very rare. and now my people presence in preparation of

the now media and position, also hero and bam, are included in the committee. and in the political committee of the medium size. so from the beginning, also the median legation included nama, and of course it is. it has to be negotiations between 2 governments, because if you look at the declaration, the project we want to implement can only be implemented with the consent of the governments. and of course, on the other hand, we cannot, we cannot say to them even government, you have to put this and this, and this person into your delegation. this will be a colonial approach to do so. ok, mr. poll, i'm a question on this aid going forward. we know that the german government wants to provide more than 1000000000 euros of aid that would also aid these communities in particular. what about the question of reparations?

that is something that representatives of these communities are looking for something germany is said is not part of the steel. why is that? how do you see this? it is also, yeah, i think there is some kind of misunderstanding. we have always said we are trying to fulfill our political moral obligation. it's not the legal question. this has been again the outcome in, in new york been local and others try to make it to a christian. even in the 2nd round, they get, they did not get an approval from an american court. so be not negotiate legal question as we talked about political moral obligations. ok. and this is a different and therefore we are not speaking about in legal terms about reparations. we speak of a lot of money. you have mentioned the whole amount about 31100000000

euros and it is to heal the wounds i say will have to leave it there. go calling from the c d u party. here in germany, the official representative of the german government and dialogue with the maybe a thank you. let's get a round up of some headlines now. the pope has taken the unusual step of ordering an official inquiry into the handling of sex abuse claims within the cologne, archdiocese, cardinal kind of okie was accused of covering up sex abuse allegations and blocking . in earlier inquiry, the accusations triggered widespread criticism of loki and the catholic church. turkish president, russia pay a fair $1.00, has inaugurated a new mosque on it's on both landmark toxeme square. the moss has been a long time goal of air to one critic see the construction as part of his bid to further erode turkey secularist values. supporters argue there weren't enough most places of worship in a sample. a group of 8 hong kong activists have been handed new prison terms for

you. these pro democracy activists have started this protest outside of the commissions office in warsaw jamar cuz there's some confusion. we demand that sanctions against the luca shinkel regime are introduced. we do not just want any sanctions. we want tough economic sanctions to the quite near the some single spread out at the u foreign ministers meeting in lisbon. this is exactly what they were discussing. the you has already banned bella routine airlines from its skies next up on the agenda. economic sanctions. this action we've seen from lucas shanker in bella. ruth had a terrorist character. it was so unacceptable that we're not ruling anything else. and we're discussing who should be added to our distinctions. let's list that. that could include companies like the potassium fertilizer factory august workers went

on strike to protest luca shame, who after he claimed a 6 term in office following you disputed election money from state enterprises like this is crucial to the regime survival. the hopes that thinking memo hit the regime heart, 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 packed since a crisis broke out, moscow has increased its backing for its allies. we know that we insist that the west stop demonizing those. it doesn't like the bella roof in authorities immediately after the incident announced that they were ready to conduct a transparent and open investigation list. your group are mostly other than you. 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 ram and practice of it and other reporters like him has become the latest flash point in europe's relationship with its autocratic neighbors. russia has designated 3 german n g o z, non governmental organizations as undesirable. berlin has sharply criticized the designation, effectively bands the angels from operating in russia. now, one of the german russian exchange association has hosted russian president vladimir putin together with chancellor uncle, michael, as well as russian foreign minister 30 lab rough, another n g o. on the left, the forum of russian speaking, europeans says it aims to protect human rights and european values. russia's prosecutor general says the work of the german n g o including the center for liberal modernity poses a threat to the countries constitutional order and security. and for more on this, we're joy now by 6 managing director of one of those german n g o for center,

for liberal modernity, a think tank that says it fights to defend open societies. thank you for joining us here on d. w. first of all, can you tell me why you think that you're in geo was designated undesirable? dating this a whole bunch of reasons. first is part of a much pro repression in russia against the mechanic opposition and civil society. you may be know that his law against undesirable foreign organisation started in 2015 1st against the american foundations malice, rhonda 30 international and she always think tanks foundation. so the aim of this operation is to cut off the, the russians. so it's as high a, t p from financial and political support from the rest.

of course, another aspect is that we, one of the most outspoken critics of russia, domestic and international policy in germany. ok. especially if it comes to not going to. so yeah, there are reasons for that, but of course we are not the danger for the russian really mean seriously. why do you think he's in he have been added now i my guess is that after gentle immacule and, and, and show me and show many supported alex viney not only medically but also as i'm politically there was a shift in moscow in the, the political calculation of the kremlin now don't

longer bit on the special relationship between germany and russia. now it's more about full confrontation. i think our listening is part of this new german policy of russia. and what does this designation mean for your organization? will you be able to continue your work? because it's a, it's a blow. we cannot then continue our current projects with our russian long, thomas and friends. for instance, and project on climate change and economic modernization. russia with more than 30 russian experts involved. this is written now as it comes criminal offense to work with us as and listed organizations. so we have to find new ways for our work with learn russian

partners and friends. and especially, i think we will more focus now on the analysis background information and policy debate on russia in germany in europe will have to leave it. there are some managing director of the center for liberal modernity. thank you. that you very much. you're watching the w still to come on our show. it looks like some things from a horror, movies and for farmers and new south wales and australia. an unprecedented plague of mice turning out to be a truly horrific in more ways than one. but 1st, the german health minister has arrived in south africa ahead of an expected announcement on how to help the country boost its covert. 900 vaccine production in spawn us holding talks with his south african counterparts where the mckeathan as infections,

there have been steadily rising. the trend is especially worrying because less than 2 percent of the population has so far been inoculated by the vaccine we're allowed, is making some progress. we sent our reporter to a vaccination center in durban, accompanied by a police that course, a very important delivery. 300 precious cobra, 900 vaccine doses. hundreds of eligible senior citizens over 60 have been wasting this oxidation center in durban since morning to get their inoculations. i'm not heavy at all because most of the place is mostly. so that is how you came here. so that it gets bethany, it, it, so there to prevent it. i think we're all very excited about least getting into the into line. yeah. and getting an oven 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, if 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 arrive any further than it is right now. the types of restrictions can 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, the, the vaccination site next to the welcome stadium in durban, the immunizations bring some solid. and it's the fear of research and the honeymoon. i just hoping that these get me disappears and put us back to let's go to johannesburg. now, where did you address crecia spending by for us? hi,

adrien. put this into context for us. another infection wave does appear to be hitting south africa, and the vaccination rate, as we heard, is still very low. so is covered 19, again becoming a big problem for the country. rights is the 2nd way for ended in the end of january. things have been almost back to normal here. very few restrictions were in place. now restrooms have been opened. life is sort of back to normal, but we have seen an increase in cases over the past 2 weeks. experts wanting that. this is the beginning of a 3rd wave. it is hard to tell if it's going to be worse than the 2nd one which hit the country tied quite badly, but most people here expect the government to a non strict lockdown rules in the next day. meanwhile, the german health ministers in south africa to promote the fight against the virus . what exactly will he be doing there? so he's currently meeting the south african minister of health, and they are mainly talking about how germany can support local vaccine production

. this will be the big topic of the day this afternoon. there is a round table plan together with the french president who is currently in the country as well as the south african president. it is likely that the big announcement will be made to enhance local vaccine production. we don't know yet what the plan is going to look like. what package they're going to announce. what it is clear though is that the south africa has had massive problems in the vaccine roll out simply because they had problems to access enough mix the in south africa order to fix things with 75 percent of its population. but only fraction of that arrived in the country. so at this point, only those above the age of 60 can start to apply to get their vaccine. but about one percent of the population only got it. and even people who have co morbidities and younger than 60, they're not even sure they'll be able to get a job by the end of this year. so this is a massive problem. this is, of course, not fair. many people are complaining about that, that's germany. we're debating about vaccinating children. well, people with co morbidities don't see a prospective fear. so this is certainly something that will be discussed and

hopefully addressed as well. d, w 's address increase reporting from johannesburg. thank you. let's checking out some other developments in the pen demik. india has reported the lowest daily number of new cobra, 1900 cases and over a month. but critics continue to warn that official figures could be far off the actual number of infections and death. the callback's vaccine sharing program says it is 190000000 doses short of its june target. it is calling on wealthy countries to donate more of their supplies, and russia will supply unicef with sputnik v if the vaccine receives emergency approval from the world health organization. japan has extended a corona virus date of emergency in tokyo, and other areas to june 20th. that's about a month before the expected opening ceremony of the tokyo olympics, japan, a seen a record number of cobra, 1900 patients in critical condition in recent days, even as the number of new infections has slowed,

it is feared that lifting the state of emergency would cause a rebound in infection. and let's speak now to michael pen, a journalist in tokyo. hi michael. as we heard, the government has just extended the state of emergency and the prime minister, jo shahita, who has been speaking. can you tell us what he's been saying? while he's been announcing the, the extension of the coven emergency for a, for the 3 weeks. this one is one of the more say the policies associated with it are stronger than the previous emergency which was in january. so it's having a lot of effect on businesses, especially those with char night life businesses. so i think he's asking for the patience of the people and their endurance to go through this for a little bit longer. and michael, how bad is the covered? 1900 situation there at the moment. well, if you look at the past 2 or 3 weeks,

or basically this is as bad as it's ever been in japan. in terms of the number of cases of people getting the disease and number of people dying. this time has been driven by the the can't very answer the u. k. variance. so the amount of transmission is much faster. so it's been a pretty bad time in japan. although it does seem that the new case numbers are now starting to slow down. there have been, as we heard growing calls from the public also from the medical community to cancel the olympic games because of concerns of recovery. 19, will the government actually pressured the olympic committee to cancel? no, they will not. the government has been going along with the i o. c, on this, the international committee, basically the way it's working out is that you have on the one side of the international of the committee and the government very strongly determined to hold

the olympics, no matter what happens. and on the other side is the vast majority of the japanese people who are very upset. and to think that this elliptic could become a, a super spreader event that, that makes the cold crisis much worse. journalist michael pen speaking to us from tokyo, thank you very much for your insights. thank you. the new south wales government in australia has announced a relief package for farmers dealing with a catastrophic mouse plague that is destroyed crops and calls havoc and communities the state agriculture minister also said he was seeking approval from the pesticides authority to use a new poison. currently outlawed in australia, but he described as the strongest mouse poison you can get on the face of the earth . at this farm in new south wales, mice are swarming the grain stores. it's a widespread problem. social media is full of images like this. something out of

a horror movie, farmers are desperate crops things side. but then go and then digging into the crop, nate and it doesn't have to come up or as it just come out and poke the head through the soil that just been bought in the heads of bought in the tip. so from just phone. and dan, if there isn't a massive calling of the road and soon farmers, associations are warning the plague could go on for 2 or more years. are also have applied to the federal government for emergency approval for a poison that is 4 times stronger than anything that's available on the market at the moment. a product that he's currently illegal in australia because it is so toxic. and we're having to go down this path because we need something that is super strength. critic say the poison could have unintended consequences on other wildlife. last years, wet weather could be

a reason that the most population has exploded. environmental and animal rights activists are calling on the government to invest the time and money now to research alternative methods for solving this problem and preventing the next infestation. let's get a reminder now of our top stories here in d, w. for the 1st time, germany has acknowledged it committed genocide during its colonial rule in the maybe up to 100000 herero and nama people were murdered by german imperial forces. after years of talks, germany says it is now ready to apologize and offer financial support to their descendants. the german health minister has arrived in south africa ahead of an expected announcement on how to help the country boost if kobe 19 vaccine production. font is holding talks with his south african counterparts where the mac, he's a, as infections, there have been steadily rising coming up next,

as we take on the world, we're all about a story that matter to you. i police and we are your next me on fire mines. ah, the welcome to in good shape coming up, giving birth by this area. what are the pros and cons? plus breast feeding. why many young mothers struggled. hello,

and welcome to in good shape. my topic today is about one of the most fascinating events in our life. we've all gone through and talking about this worldwide on average, women has 2.6 babies, my wife and i have 2 kids. it's interesting to see whether word pregnant is derived from different cultures in slavic languages. pregnant is connected with word burden in china. however, being pregnant means being lacky, and i'm lucky to because i am getting to meet doctor mc step. she's a midwife and she helped to deliver more than $1200.00 babies over the years. and she's taking care of families from more than 60 different countries. hello, dr. nice to meet you. i mean, you were born in the us. you came to berlin 24 years ago in your midwife since 2001 again. yes. so how is it being in it's live? it's still thrilling. it's absolutely amazing. i love every day that i go to work.

every breath is different. every woman is different, very unique. every family is different. and being at a birth is something that just makes my joy grow more and more. i will the moment when the baby is born and then it really fills the room. and if you can see yesterday i had an amazing birth and i'm still walking on close. even after all those years. it's still amazing. absolutely. i think nearly everybody of us knows how to get pregnant. but and when does the pregnancy start actually? pregnancy can be different for a woman than what her doctor says. the doctor would say, pregnancy starts when you see that the hardest reading an embryo for a woman, it could be that she feels pregnant before then that she knows that she's pregnant because her body is changing. some women actually only feel pregnant when they feel the baby move, then there are certain that pregnant what actually happens in the room during pregnancy? when do the pat, shoulders, knees and toes develop in the embryonic stage?

let's take a look at what is hidden from our eyes. this is one of the smallest human cells. and this is the biggest, a female over or excel is even visible to the naked eye. male sperm cells, however, are tiny, though they can still travel hundreds of times their own length and only a minute. over a 1000000000 sperm cells can be released during a single jackie lation, but only the fastest will fertilize the egg. when a sperm entered the oven, they combine 2 the basis for a new human being. by the time 30 hours have elapsed, the fertilizer has divided into 2 cells. inside 3 days, there are 16 and they keep on dividing. as soon as low ball shape blast assist attaches itself to the woman's uterus membrane. she releases hormones which condition her body for pregnancy. they insure for instance, that no more eggs, right? but in the meantime, that's why

a mist period can be the 1st clear sign of pregnancy. but the hormonal readjustments can also cause nausea in the early weeks to press center and dylan record form connecting the embryo with the mother circulation and metabolism until birth. it's now high time to drop habits harmful to the child, like drinking alcohol and smoking. next, the initial signs for brain and spinal merrill up here, the heart begins beating. butts form which grow into limbs and digits. the fetus gradually takes shape with the 1st 12 weeks. are the most critical and a pregnancy during which 80 percent of all miscarriages take place. usually because the fetus doesn't develop correctly. growth accelerates from week 13 on the fetus takes up more space, leaving less room for the mother's organs. she may suffer shortness of breath or

backache as a result. survival rates for premature babies increased dramatically from the 24th week on the children. born at this stage, have a lot of catching up to do. the fetus still weighs less than half the average child born at full term. but that changes rapidly around for weeks before birth, the baby inverts its position in the womb to head down. the signal for birth is thought to come from the child. as soon as its lungs are fully developed, the combination of proteins and the mother's hormones trigger the powerful spasms of labor. then it's only a matter of hours before a brand new human being emerges into the light of its 1st new day. when women announce that they are pregnant, they got a lot of advice from friends, but not every advice holds true. they're a lot of miss. so ask

a professional about all that miss is miss number one pregnant women have to eat for 2. this is an old wives tale. ok, this isn't true. women should not eat for to during pregnancy. they should think for to they should eat fruits that are healthier, but they shouldn't eat for 2. in the 1st 3 months of pregnancy, they should only need $100.00 calories more per day. in the last 3 months of pregnancy, only $400.00 more calories per day. miss number 2, if the mother to be has a round belly, it will be a girl. if she is appointed belly, it will be your boy, is this true or not true? a woman who is smaller, she doesn't have as much space between her diaphragm and between her pelvis. so her bell is going to be more here more forward, more in front of her, for women whose tal or it could be that her bell looks a little bit smaller, even though her baby is bigger than the belly of the woman who smaller miss number 3 in some cultures, people believe that the baby is dirty after birth. you see any truth about this?

this is absolutely a myth. babies are not dirty when they're born. they're born out of a sterile environment. it's very important after birth that babies aren't date in the 1st 24 hours. we know that from the world health organization, many mothers don't pay their babies for the 1st 2 days after birth rate. a baby smell is very important to give the woman cues for breast feeding and for bonding with her baby, especially in the 1st 2 hours after birth, it's very important that the baby is together with the mother lying skin to skin and has the opportunity to breastfeed with number 4, in some cultures, people want the 1st born child to be a boy and some belief that women are responsible for the child sex woman is absolutely not responsible. if it's going to be a boy or if it's going to be a girl, i've heard from some families i've taken care of here in berlin. the women believe that if they pray hard enough, or if they do some kind of purification ritual before they get pregnant,

that they can have a boy because that's what their family hopes for them to have. but this isn't true . it's actually the man who's the deciding factor. the sperm either has an x chromosome or y chromosomes. do you know which oregon is usually the size. the uterus for uterus is the place where the embryo and later the fetus develops on death. during this time, this organ is like a busy man working 247, and it has real superpowers. ah, it's pretty remarkable how much can happen in 9 months. in a woman's belly and embryo grows to the size of a baby, and its home grows along with it, the uterus. before pregnancy, the uterus is smaller than a pair and weighs around 60 grams. but it already please a major role in consumption. in the neck of the uterus or service glands produce what's called cervical mucus. during operation,

the mucus protects from cells and guides them to the 8th. at the same time the hormones, progesterone and estrogen cause the mucous membrane of the uterus, or, and dmitri, and to become more viscous, so that a fertilized egg can implant. during the following 12 weeks, the placenta develops an independent oregon that ensures the developing child's needs are supplied via the umbilical cord and that waste is removed. in its little chamber, the fetus has its own survival system. as soon as a fertilized egg is attached to the end, dimitria, the uterus begins to grow and grow and grow. hormones like estrogen steer this growth to ensure the baby has enough space. by the end of a pregnancy, the uterus is almost the size of 2 soccer balls. 20 times larger than before pregnancy. the uterus is active to the very end. during labor,

its muscles contract rhythmically to force the baby out through the vagina, which now functions and the birth canal. after birth, the uterus begin shrinking again by about one centimeter a day, blissful relaxation after 9 months of hard labor, the pregnancy is a very exciting time, but sometimes a difficult time as well. so, and are there any tips what a women can do to feel accommodated? absolutely, women are very tired in the beginning of pregnancy and also again at the end nation, definitely get the rest that they need. and this might mean taking a nap in the afternoon or going to bed early. right. and in what can department family do? well, the partner family, friends, they should know that women's emotions are a little bit more than they are when the woman is not pregnant. so maybe if she's angry, she'll seem angry or, or if she's sad, shall seem sad or she can also be more joyful than she is at other times it's

really important that these people who are close to the woman that they don't take her emotions personally and think that they've done something wrong. okay, and are there any professional tips concerning the right nutrition? her sure thrill important that women get enough to drink during pregnancy and that they especially don't drink drinks that have a lot of sugar in them. coca cola is not good to drink during pregnancy, for example, better to drink water or to drink teeth, they don't have any sweetener in them. and any absolute strict, no gross and pregnancy that also is problematic for women who smoke, for example, the baby can be a little bit smaller. it's not healthy for women smoking. she also shouldn't take drugs and she shouldn't drink alcohol. i have a great idea. why don't you write to me about health issues and your ideas to share in good shape your weekly health show and d, w covers many aspects of health care. we look at what's new and medical treatment,

nutrition, fitness and beauty. we discussed the topics in depth with specialists and give you the chance to pose your own questions. so do get in touch with me. we just talked a lot about pregnancy. let's focus a bit on the birth. so how can women prepare for the speak moment? i think it's really important that women read and listened to positive stories about birth. there are many, many more positive stories about good birth than there are these terrible stories. so women should definitely stay away from these terrible stories that they might hear during pregnancy and look for books and maybe even look for friends who had good birth experiences. and what should they actually expect? most women have some fear when they go into labor. they have those 1st contractions and then they're not sure what's going to happen. i always tell women to bring that . sure with them. they should discuss that fear for sure with their midwife or their doctor, whoever is taking care of them at birth. in addition to that,
