colony that is now no, maybe up 280-0000 herrera anom. people died at the hands of german soldiers. germany has now apologized and pledged 1100000000 years of development. 8 bus berlin stopped short of recognizing full responsibility because that could be expensive. is money really an issue here? and why did it take so long? and gab else has in berlin. this is the day the me the void. today we officially referred to these events as what they were a genocide folk that he completion of the life of the 21st century in the name of germany may be the descendants of a victim for forgiven. spend my child

too busy not being in line with my case. i like the most only the confrontation and acceptance of that painful class will liberate us also on the day of western powers, slop sanctions and pile pressure on bill. i was authoritarian leader lucas shanker . looks east to russia for support. so does. there have always been people who want to cause problems for as you know about them. and i will inform you my trusted friend. i have documents. the question, the 2 of us on p b. s. in the united states and all around the world, welcome for the 1st time germany naz. acknowledge that it committed genocide during

its colonial rule. and what is now namibia in southern africa, german troops, massacres. tens of thousands of hero and nom up people between 190419081 the deal reached with a government of no, maybe a 1000000000 will apologize. and also fund projects worth more than a 1000000000 euros in the maybe a german foreign minister, high call mindset. it was important to call the trustees what they were this 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, one targeted by german colonizers. and then if it's nice and we will now also in an official capacity call these events what they were from today's perspective,

a genocide. but we thereby also acknowledge our historical responsibility. and in the light of the historical and moral responsibility of germany, we will ask namibia and the descendants of the victims for forgiveness. ask on that . i gave them between 19041908 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 will wiped out. it took an entire century for a german politician to even recognize it happened. i asked you to give us our trespass purse 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 centuries 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. this reconciliation deal is one step in that direction. and similar story, and at the university of hamburg, specializing in germany colonial pos professor. how do you evaluate the fact that the german government finally accept accept responsibility for the genocide of the hero? and now what would you call this? a breakthrough made me mock event because it was a long over due to stop meddling around and i'm done to agree that this is janice.

i don't call it a genocide though. it's a step in the right direction. i think it's important to acknowledge that an apology without any financial compensation, whatever you call it, is in writing. and the money must be a financial contribution. must accompany any apologies, though that is a step in the right direction. i don't see that this is a reconciliation as such because in my reading of the situation, we are further away from reconciliation, this area, or number anywhere before the negotiation stopped. and that is because the hero in their majority reject dispute because they were not part of this negotiation process. and this is, is quite the problem for this agreement. why, whether or not part of this process then well,

the statement is that the german government negotiates only with another government in this case and then maybe a government. there might also be the reason that some of the leaders of 9 or more in the position within the u. b landscape. and they are known for having a more strict, more radical approach to negotiation and recreation issue. so they've excluded perhaps, to make the negotiations run smoothly. and now the problem is that if they reject it, there can be no reconciliation. and that can be no apology because they're already announced at the time i or the president is not, won't come in when took and it's you supposed to deliver an apology at the house of parliament in took. and they already said that the parliament members of parliament

relieve the building and i believe in burrow test outside. and that is a nightmarish ship situation in terms of public relations imagined. a german president delivering an apology, and those must be addressed to rejecting it. so on the which circumstances would they be willing been to accept the apology? the main problem is that the oversight, they want to be part of a negotiating any deal. and this is a deal about them without them. and they said they were never accept. it has to happen now, and this is getting more difficult by, by the day is that the german foreign minister or the german president need to contact her mom and do that. what the negotiation team has has hasn't done

to include them. and as a 1st steps, i need to apologize for the way the negotiation about apologies has been conducted. this is absurd situation. that's actually the only way forward to to rescue this process, which in itself is a move in the right direction. zoom out a bit and have a look at germany. colonial pass on the whole. that's also the issue of auth treasures from africa in german museums. will that be another project? protracted battle? it did. basically, it follows this same systematic, so to speak because the german government moves only when it can't stop it anymore . so there is no one terry step and then not, not the grade symbolic chester like returning old. beneath branches. it's kotia. it's like not apologizing to the henry arrow in the 1st, but negotiating and this negotiation i've always to, you know, the,

the problem is that germany is so much more powerful and maybe it's more powerful than the colonial society from which the cultural object of the trip is coming from that you can, you can never know what is happening behind doors and what kind of pressure is put on the nation. and this is in contrast to the spirit of the colonization, which means that the germans, society has to accept the responsibility for the channels. i'd have to accept that these all stolen and out of free will, has to say, be rescued. the object, we apologize for the genocide, we recognize the turn aside and not making it up a battle between negotiating teams. historian, hamburg versus a thank you very much for time. your. oh

is a state hijacking all the civilian airplane with a lot of passengers and that's dangerous. so now we're in the process swiftly to apply sanctions. we hit them hardest, where we can hit them, which is, course, their stature standing in their wallets and everything stuck with. in this situation, we count of the supports of our close ally, the russian federation look sank on this plane with, with, with and then trying to and helping put into an ex, the country. so we should send a signal to, to russia as well. we need to send the message to russia that we are strongly that we are united and therefore we need the terrance and defense. those were just some of the comments today and but later, alexander lucas ankle headed to the black sea. we thought of soft sheets, a whole talk with russian president vladimir putin. the meeting comes less than a week after the dramatic grounding of ryan plane in minsk and the rest of a dissident journalist. european union immediately imposed flight bands over bela

roofs and preparing a fresh wave of sanction slip. shanker, went to russia, seeking a friend, as his other italian regime faces increasing isolation. and he found one in front of me put in i'll show you some documents for him and he will see what's going on. is an attempt to rock for both. i can august last year. because what you have criticized the military of wine and landing. what does our airline bella via have to do with it? when you have grounded it with a you said, if you fly around, deliveries and planes won't be allowed to land in moscow. you're pretty much, somewhat similar to when the bolivian presidents claim was forced to land and he was taken off. that was okay. everyone kept silent. graduate we so look, a shank and a 14 get a quite shocked me then she lets bring in john

a whole. so she's the deputy director of the why the europe program, the europe council on foreign relations in london. can lucas shanker blindly count on, put in support? good evening. so they have been to me for quite a while in fact, and then the 2 countries, those mesh are quite closely integrated by a union state. it's been the case for a couple of decades now. and certainly can count on, but you put in support, but not blindly. i think he will only be getting the support as long as he abide by certain rules. as long as he does. what's blessing me to put in wanting to do as long as he keeps his country's table and continue further cooperation between the 2 countries and what exactly what it costs and what will put in want in return. so he will one thing, the return of this stability and borrow he will want to look at and got to make

sure that there are no further protests of civil society does not when federal position does not when he want it to be quiet so that there is no domino effect because russia and the regime is afraid that such protests might one day say, crush them much more than they have so far. and it's important for putting to to, to have the stability and valor is also look, us and car will probably have to accept closer economic integration. even more integration on defense matters. maybe also political matters in the future. there has been over the past years and even decades, a lot of speculation, whether putting actually wants better is to become officially part of russia. i don't think that's on the cards that i would go a bit too far. i think. what impact will these sanctions have? lucas shank, will there be any impact?

so it depends on the extent of sanctions. if they are really much more something significant that they have been so far. then i believe they could have a bit of an impact. big because the regime would be struggling more and they, the country would be up keeping bellows would be more difficult for russia. so the whole system would, it would struggle more than it does at the moment. although this would take time for, for sanctions to take effect. and i don't think bella was would, would, would back easily now before there is a very significant fall out of functions because stability and a crackdown is the, the priority now well, you is also done a lot of cash for better. ruth journal, that's to get to take a listen to the use foreign policy chief. today. this plan up to 3 billions

reflects due to be a new commitment to support the russian people wishes for a peaceful democratic concession. and this plan will be activated. one's better, rose embarks on the more graphic transitions as a brows speaking, they're trying to what do you make of his carrot and stick approach? is that the right way? so i think it's a very good step to promise this, although this is a very far away promise. what does it mean? it's not clear what it means that there was embark on a democratic transition that, that it might be a very far away moment. unfortunately, and the european needs to do more to help people now. so there are many other stuff that it could be taking, helping people ever leave the country, how fortunately at the moment, so help people get asylum more easily in europe and support the civil society

journalists as much as possible and any strengthened sanctions. and then perhaps one day it can really make this character reality, but i don't think it's on the cards. the next couple of years. doesn't germany hold a particular trump card in this game, namely north stream to what do you think about that? so that's the trump card for buzzing it. put in, not, not necessarily for beller is and there is also a lot of debate to what extent the politics, the policy on beller, it's should be linked to european policy and russia. and that's a big debate. in fact, but north stream. yes, it's something that germany could do to stop the project. unfortunately, i don't think it's going to happen and i don't think it's going to happen unless there is a change of government in germany. perhaps then because as i believe that greens

would, would want to stop the project. but before they perhaps take power, the project might already be realized. and but it would be something that could hurt russian business quite a lot. john, i was from the european council on foreign relations. thank you very much. thank you. the russian hackers behind the solar winds cyber attack last year, now appear to have struck again microsoft flagged up this because this week, which target government agencies think times and joe's using fake emails from the u . s. 8 agency, microsoft test, the russian back. no valium group was behind the attack, which spanned 24 countries. this statement from microsoft. this is yet another example of how cyber attacks have become the tool of choice for

a growing number of nation states to accomplish a wide variety of political objectives with the focus on those the time spinal valium, on human rights and humanitarian organizations. key infrastructure is also in the cross, as the u. s. government has now ordered oil pipelines to beef up their cyber defenses. following this month, ransomware attack that's disrupted fuel supplies in the us. the biden administration believes russian by 5 criminals were behind the attack under the new rules. pipeline operators also have to report any cyber security incidence, to federal authorities and germany. there are concerns about actors could target the upcoming general election in september using hacking and this information to disrupt the vote, as their campaigns gather, speed, reason, cyber incidence, as authorities at lawmakers worried about what's to come, janice,

or to say they're working with candidates and political parties to help them protect themselves and they plan to safeguards. technology used to report the results on election night. some lawmakers say more still needs to be done to counter the cyber threats w political report. a jarrett breed caught up with konstantin coolant and member of parliament for the business friendly f t p party. well, we have to bear in mind that germany is the target for cyber attacks. and for this information campaigns just recently, there have been so called fishing text regarding 7 members of the federal parliament. and we have to see these are professional politicians. the vast majority of people involved in the election process on the local level of candidates, as officials in the party. they are doing this in their free time. and these are the people that have to be protected. i'm afraid of a situation in the election night where they may rise, insecurity years,

or there may rise rumors when it comes to the security of the election process and to the legitimacy of the entire process. this is something we have to avoid. and we have to, we have to avoid, we can see in other democracies like the united states, for example, that several actors and the dimensions of process are using minor arrows that may occur in every election process to question the legitimacy as a whole. and we should be prepared to prevent this from happening. which fact is that you mentioned you most concerned about? well, there are domestic actors and actors from abroad. when it comes to actors from abroad . we can see intelligence agencies or foreign states interfering of in national elections. for example, russian intelligence is playing a role at the moment and several member states of the european union. and this is a threat that also, if they're in the, in the gym apartment election. but we also have

a domestic actors like extra minutes. parties like for example, of the d that have already used elections on a state level where the numbers of male in ballots have to have risen to question the legitimacy of the election as a whole. the european med since agency has now approved the coven, 19 vaccine for children. the says the biotech 5 vaccine is safe for young people as 12 to 15 and highly effective. this week, german leaders agreed to start offering vaccination to children as early as june, 7th. other countries like the us and canada, already inoculating children from the age of 12 taiwan, me. mom is struggling to vaccinate anyone, let alone children. only about one percent of the population have had the job and health authorities. there are desperate to get the campaign moving. the island has received fewer than 1000000 doses,

despite ordering nearly 30000000 on top of global demand. taiwan also blamed china for blocking a deal with germany by on tech. the government has now orders are locked down to curb infections. it's something many on the island thought they would never see. asked the w joyce. lee reports stuck at home for the 1st time that you have siblings. i still was that change your online learning, as schools in taiwan shut down for the 1st time since the thought of the pandemic. i can't take her today because i've been stuck at home since last monday. it's been a week. i'm so bored. online learning is doing all the things i did at home. i feel lazy because there's no one to push me. i don't have that. i missed my classmates. now i spend time with my family. the mother is also struggling, navigating what it means to be a parent, a teacher,

and working from home at the same time. she says it has never crossed her mind that this day would come think why joey? in the past year, we watched international news and saw people working from home because of a lockdown. i thought it was funny and related to my life, but now it's happening to us. after more than a year of relative safety, taiwan is battling as fast. major domestic outbreak reporting hundreds of local cases daily its beliefs that airline pilots brought the u. k. sariana to the island last month after quarantine was shot into just 3 days for crew members. the threat was then accelerated through a network of tea houses in tie pace. red light district. the authorities have declared a nation wide level 3 alert meaning a south lockdown public events. our code of many shops are close to and restaurants can only do a check out the shopping district. anti pay is spiritually a dose tone,

while dozens of people q r, for covert test sites, hosted with hosts in great high pe i running out of patients will now be sent to other parts of taiwan for treatment, the authorities. i've also taken up several hotels to accommodate those with life or no symptoms. so fall into one has only fascinated around one percent until it's 24000000 people. most taiwanese have been faxing hesitant before the local outbreak . and how about no, ma'am pio for was afraid of the side effects, but now that there is a community outbreak, i want to get a shot. i want to get vaccinated because vaccines are the most fundamental solution to control a panoramic. but we're having a vaccine shortage call. i don't want to get financing for the time being because the virus mutates too quickly may not be effective after tomorrow. 510000000 doses or 5 themes were rashed by august. but until then,

the island is likely to remain on the south lockdown. the yeah, family has stock stuff, bridge. they say they're ready for a long battle. a battle that was affordable. so in and this is in kind of one had a whole year to prepare for this and seeing what happened in other countries. we should have been alert, but we didn't bother. the government didn't take it seriously when all the countries were fighting to get vaccines. i want didn't do much, just sat there and waited for our own vaccines. and so now the vaccines are coming soon enough that you can only fight the battle in a passive way by staying home. do not be complacent in the face of a panoramic. it's a lesson learned for taiwanese and that was of the day as we saw it joined the conversation online. thanks for watching the news. the news.
