it is estimated that 3 quarters of the herrera and half of the nama people were wiped out. it took an entire century for a german politician to even recognize it happened. i ask you to forgive us our trespass. precipices and our guilt. but the german government has 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 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. this reconciliation deal is one step in that direction. let's pick this up with joshua quite the akin. so it's a political scientist at the university of a castle,

a welcome to the w. germany. foreign minister says this is a 1st step in the right direction. herero, a nom, a representative, say they've been excluded from the process. what do you think should they have had the greater voice? yes, i definitely think they should have a greater voice given the fact that the borders of what is the nivia have basically been drafted. right here in berlin, in the famous africa conference of 188485. so to now limit, you know, these negotiations wouldn't be in government. and a few select individuals is really not good enough. it actually continues a colonial hierarchy and the colonial construction, right? thought the people who were affected should of course, have been at the center of these negotiations. the german government would say, well, as a government, we have to deal with a government. we can't just deal with individuals who say they were this battle or

the other. so surely it is legitimate for the german government to deal with the government of namibia, of course, is legitimate to deal with the government of namibia. however, not at the cost of excluding the descendants of those who have been wronged and they are historical. precedent for this, germany has been able to negotiate, for example, much as with the state of israel, but also with the various groups of the jewish. they asked for, right, we also would like to remind everybody that there is a declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples, which also at the u. n. double, right. which also offers a framework that enables governments to directly be in touch with and include indigenous peoples in such negotiations. precisely because of the recognition that many borders are colonial. and therefore, many governments do not fully represent the interests of everybody who find themselves in the territory today. it's interesting if you bring a photo session with israel because it to people about to ask how much house rice been a factor. and the german government's

a long refusal to acknowledge this genocide. i mean, is it legitimate or indeed instructive to compare germany's ability minutes of each genocide against black victims 100 years ago and thousands of miles away with a treatment of jewish genocide victims? well, i think it's important to recognize that there's history and their historical connections between these 2 events of massive bivens. each of which of course, needs to be on the life you know, in their own context and their own merit. however, it would also be wrong to eigen ignore the fact that they are, for example, personal continuities. people who did racist science in calling in the maybe a later rose to high positions in the national socialist regime. and were also instrumental in designing aspect of the schwab and the genocide of peoples that the nazis deemed to be, you know, unfit for life based on science that had some of its origins in colonial namibia.

and so live, yes, there are connections. there's continuity, i figured probably better nice talking about funding projects worth more than a 1000000000 euros in namibia, but it is clear that this money is not reparations or compensation. why is that distinction important? well, i think the german government is still afraid of the legal ramifications of a full recognition of the genocide. and this is where we heard from mister moss, you know, using this language of saying that, you know, it would today be considered a genocide. here again, we have un precedent, there's a dub and declaration that germany sign saying that mosse atrocities and crimes against humanity committed during colonialism should have counted as such at all times. so, jeremy is actually, we need it. i mean, you know, falling behind its own standards here precisely because, you know, of the fear that legal action could be taken,

which could lead to further reparations. now, of course, it's clear that so called development assistance can not be classified as recreation to any shape or form, simply because there are conditions that come with this money. and of course, if you say, you know, the wrong has been committed and he has recompense conditions can never be attached to such money. and so therefore, it's of course, correct to say that such money is not reparations, but it's also disingenuous to connect this money in any shape or form to some kind of recognition of the genocide which again, it's incomplete as we speak. and so just, just so i'm clear, what do you think is behind the german government, the various german government refusal over a 100 years to, to, to acknowledge this genocide why they take them so long to get here? well, i think on the one hand, it is a eurocentric perspective on history that,

you know, focuses on certain aspects of history. and you know, forget about others are conveniently ignores the importance of others. and then again, there's also the issue of legal cases that have been brought by various or number organizations, for example, in new york. and there is legal precedent where for example, victims of the nazi regime specific, specifically people who have been forced into forced labor by various german companies during the nazi era house successfully sued these companies and the german governments. what is legal precedent? and there is grounds to actually fear that any full recognition could and should actually lead to further claims for reparations. and we thank you for your time, joshua, crazy agents, political scientists of the university of castle. thank you. we'll take a look at some other world views. hundreds of thousands of people in the democratic republic of congo need help us to fleeing an active volcano or sources. avoided

start offering vaccinations to children as early as the 7th of june. other countries like the us and canada, already inoculating children from the age of 12 get more from dw corresponding to bob available in brussels. welcome, barbara. what's behind this decision? now and of course, the european medicines agency has looked at the clinical data that were provided by pfizer by on tech. there was a big clinical study big in this context means about 2000 and adolescence. they didn't have a single case of infection. so they came to the result, they said the direction really is 100 percent effective in this young age group. and they also didn't find any noticeable side effects. so the may said it's safe for teenagers to use. and you can follow the example of the united states and some other countries that are already doing this. and so now it is up to the member

states of the european union. and of course, up to the individual parents to decide whether they want this for the children or not. there were some politicians in reference to had really and some health experts here who had really pushed for this decision to come as quickly as possible because they say, who knew me this is really important for is a young people, teenagers with certain underlying conditions. for instance, was down syndrome are some respiratory illnesses that predisposed them in a really dangerous way to get over it and to get very severely ill from cove it. and so particularly decision decision was sort of geared towards them. but of course, many, many countries already have been waiting for it and want to be ready to go very soon. right? so this, this is, this is obviously, this is a help and is likely to, to give a bit of a boost to that situation, campaigns across the yes, but if you look at the debate that is, has been in europe,

it is very diverse. it's interesting, particularly in germany, that seems to be the strong push led by the government to say, let's vaccinate teenagers as quickly as possible as throughout the summer because we want to re open school is in september. and for that purpose, we should really should get going and have keen interest vaccinated in other countries like france, for instance, they, the sources have been much more relaxed. schools remained open wireless throughout the pandemic. there were some closures from time to time, but basically they stayed open and they couldn't really ever prove whether that was that would increase infections to in, in a noticeable way. so they're very different opinions about how useful this is. and whether it is really absolutely necessary, what the m a today said is nothing more than the vaccine is safe to use. now, the rest is a political and of course, ethical question in the member countries. i thank you for that. barbara d. w. bob,

available in brussels, france and germany meanwhile are hoping to boost south africa the vaccine production in order to tackle baker and virus. french president emanuel macro met with the south african count about pseudo ram opposed in pretoria. today, france is a proponent of waving patent, right? some kind of in 1900 vaccine german health minutes. again, she is also in the country. germany has been skeptical about waving peyton writes, but does want to boost and south africa. domestic covered 19 vaccine production. south africa has been hon. pandemic with more than 55000 debt. accompanied by a police course, a very important delivery. 300 precious code. 19 that same doses, hundreds of eligible senior citizens over 60, have been wasting this oxidation center in durban since morning to get there are

enough, kil, ations. i'm not heavy at all because most of them has lost their lives. so that is how you came here. so that you get stuck needed for there to prevent it. i think we're all very excited about getting into the interlock 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. 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 arise any further than it is right now. i have restrictions 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 gatherings have also been taking place the

the vaccination site next to the welcome stadium. and when the immunizations bring some solid and it's the fear of a resurgence, the winning, i just hoping that these get me disappears in progress back to straight to south africa, then i d, w. coast wanted to increase, join us from petroleum. welcome address. so we have germany and france talking about helping south africa a build up. it's vaccine production capacity. how well the south african president, as well as the president of friends and the german health minister, currently arriving here for high pennel dialect on manufacturing of mac, rick scenes in africa. we understand there will be an, a major announcement made to germany a friends, and the opinions will possibly invest the multi 1000000 euro deal into the production of vaccine capacities here on the continent details at that stage

a still a little bit sketchy. there's also a discussions whether the wolf bank will give a credit line for one of the vaccine manufacturers here in south africa. remember so far, the country and the whole continent imports almost all the vaccines. so this is an important step to, to do that. but it is also clear that it's a very long way to go. we talk to experts here they say, yes, it is a good thing on the long run, we will not see an impact on the short run because it's not just that you put money into a country and you build a factory and ready. you can produce vaccine, it's a long process of, of setting it up, building the capacity, trends that technology, transference and so on. so it will take some time, but it's an important fist. them, what does the government think of this, your opinion, the initiative and present them up with already said that he's happy about this initiative. the south africa has been very vocal and complaining about the situation at this point, especially when it comes to global vaccine supplies. south africa has already

chased vaccine for 75 percent of its population, but only a fraction of that has arrived in the country. and other countries like germany, like friends, like the u, as, as, you know, have much higher quantities of vaccines already. so he's been very vocal about it today. he again mentioned the term of vaccine apart heads complaining about that says that the nation should work, unmaking the vaccine available to all to all countries. and this is what he's hoping for that at least now with the local manufacturing, more things will be available on the other hand, south africa, india is you know, we're very vocal also and trying to get the ip waiver through that intellectual property waiver or over 900 victims, it doesn't seems that they have agreed that there is an agreement here with the european union sites with the french and the german sites. and but we will see what happens later on during the meeting as they might also change their position. but this is very unlikely. i'm in the immediate, how's the country coping with the latest wave of infection

rights in january here? basically, numbers went down after the 2nd wave and for the past 4 months, there were hardly any restrictions in place anymore. gatherings are allowed to get a restaurant that opened the number's way down, but in the past few weeks we've seen a strong increase in the numbers. again, a very worth some increase. we talked to p experts here with a, this is the beginning of the 3rd wave and that's why a lot of people are just hoping for the vaccines at this point. only people above the age of sixteens eligible to, to get the jap and even not all of them have received it. and up until now people who have co morbidities, but i younger than 60 years, are not even sure they will be able to get to the jap this year. i thank you for i do increase and rhetoric we'll take a look at some of the other developments in the panoramic stuffing in india, which is fortunately it's lois tailee number of new cases for more than a month. critic though a warning that the official figures are still far lower than the actual number of infections and deaths become
