playing on the love of a pastor robson. ezra and now me hope to be reunited with their parents soon. and our correspondent mario miller, who filed that report join just now from goma. maria, what's the situation on the ground there? now? the situation in goma is calm at the moment though, the city is still empty of unusual, but people have been returning so the people have been evacuated last week. slowly returning people who are cross the border to run, for example. but if you go 30 kilometers to the width, to the tunnel succor that you have seen in the report, the situation is actually dire. so people really struggle to get drink of water. so in the report, and it's quite dangerous because they also mentioned there is the, the looming threat of an evil, sorry, of cholera outbreak. so because they're now trying to drink the water from the lake,
10:06 am
the nearby lake here. and this is a risk for, for the people, and also doctors without borders. also warns of potential color outbreak yesterday we heard of some reports. we heard from some reports of them 8 cases from some local administrative leaders. but that hasn't been confirmed yet with the help of innovation. many people who fled gamma are still unable to return in some cases because their homes have been destroyed by lava. how are these people coping? so yeah, there are 4500 homes destroyed and took 20000 people actually affected that's according to the u. n. so these people left with basically nothing. they have no food. as i said, no water. you know, there is a lack of limitation and medical treatment also, as i also mentioned the report this no shelter. so it's really difficult. people
10:07 am
live out in the open basically been at churches and schools in mosques. they're lucky if they have relatives or family members neighbors who can take them in. but the government is also concerned that that might be a cove. it spreads easiest, but of covert because of that melt, nearer going go. it's inactive volcano pastor options have been catastrophic. is the government, they're doing enough to monitor it and protect people living near it. so the short answer is no. the government didn't do enough. the long answer is that there is a vocational observatory, which is in charge of these monitoring. and they did this job until last year until the world bank stopped its funding. they actually declined a renewal of the 4 year 2000000 dollar funding program. and since then observatory,
10:08 am
as a senior candidate just told me, were not able to even pay the internet bill. so they didn't have any connection that could not know what is going on up there on the volcano, they could not do basic checks on the monitoring. it's activities, so it's quite crucial to have internet and he also found it very frustrated when you talk to me and said the government should have stepped and they should have paid that. and then maybe things could have been prevented burial. thank you very much. good to see. thank you for your reporting. our correspondent mario marilla. they're in goma. the political opponents of israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu are joining forces with little in common besides a desire to oust him a former netanyahu aid and right wing hardliner enough tale. but it says he's looking to form a diverse minority government when that potentially avoids another round of elections in israel and could see the end of the ness and yahoo era. a dramatic
10:09 am
blow to netanyahu's hopes of political survival. any more, i'm announcing today, my intention to work with all my strength, stablish, of national unity government together was my friend, jalap page is about god willing together with the rest of the country from its tailspin and return it on it's half love who has been on the defensive for some time, israel is longest serving, prime minister, has been able to brush off public outrage. corruption charges not after failing to fool my majority government after the 4th election and 2 years, netanyahu to hold on power had become tenuous. this is the man responsible for forging the coalition to end netanyahu's 12 year old former tv hosea le pete is determined to put together parties from the far right to the left, including arab israeli parties. the,
10:10 am
the commitment of bennett, who leads the right wing pro set. now your mena party is crucial to the proposed alliance. netanyahu responded by painting the broad coalition as a threat to national security. she will think about it mother turns. how will we look in the eyes of our enemies? what will they say in iran? what will they saying gaza, my oh, they do in iran and in gaza. will they stay in the holes of government in washington, washington. but netanyahu know is that the biggest threat posed by the new government to the current prime minister himself more now from our correspond tony cramer in jerusalem county, how likely is it that this rather loose coalition will succeed in ousting nothing? yeah, her well, i think as we heard in the record,
10:11 am
the major hurdle was taken on sunday when natalie abandoned the leader of the writing. jemina parties said he's going to join this until nathan, yahoo coalition at the moment of pete, the head of the 2nd largest part yesterday t who is trying to copy this coalition together. but of course, the test will be, you know, whether they will actually stick together because ideologically speaking, they're very, very pause. and you know, they will have to spend a test of time if they create this coalition government. and also, you know, we have to look into coalition agreements that are currently hammered out between the parties. how they will agree on certain policies. that is the big question. what is the next step here? how, how is this coalition supposed to work in practice?
10:12 am
well right now, you know, p 2 is trying to get this coalition together. he has now 3 days until wednesday to basically officially informed the israeli president that he has the support of all the parties. know he has made a power sharing deal with natalie bennett to bring him in because enough taliban, it wasn't, you know, he wasn't quite sure whether you go with more writing with and he could and nathan young or with his until nathan, yahoo coalition. so they will have a rotational premiership 1st. that would be enough, totally offended. and then he will be the foreign minister in the meantime, turn it to the prime minister. it's also a bit controversial because natalie bennett brings only 7 feet. so he's of all the smaller party within. so once he has officially given that notice to the very president by wednesday, you can do that anytime from now. then to have 7 days to put this government
10:13 am
together. so natalie bennett is the leader of a far right party and he's pretty close to nathan yahoo, ideologically, they've worked together before. so how much of a change does he actually represent? well, that's right enough. tell you, bennett is a hard line. a writing politician has entered politics about over 10 years ago. he comes from high tech and then he is, you know, from the national religious. he used to be also the head of the settler organization and the occupied west think the year. so i counsel. so he is a hotline and politics. he is for example, against palestinian state. he is a proponent of an extension of the west bank and you have to look now, you know, in the distribution of the ministerial post as well in this a government and most of the heavy weight means to post as far as we know from now, we'll go actually to hotline to other hotline writing politicians,
10:14 am
so we don't see much change in this regard. very interesting, tanya. thank you so much. julie. some correspondence tony kramer there say look, some other stories making headlines around the world at this hour. china has announced it will allow couples to have up to 3 children. the move ends a strict to child policy that has failed to reverse declining birth rates. it reflects patients concern that a rapidly aging population could add to the pressure on its shrinking workforce police and jury. a say gunman have kidnapped around 200 children from a school in niger state. it's the latest in a series of such rates with $700.00 students, abducted and held for ransom since december and west african leaders of suspended molly from the eco, was trading block after a 2nd military coup at 9 months. but the meeting and gonna stop short of re
10:15 am
imposing sanctions on molly instead of the block, insisted that it should be led by a civilian government, as it prepares for elections. a man hunt his underway in southwestern france for a former soldier who opened fire on police responding to a domestic violence call. the man is hiding out in a wooded area of the door. don't your region? police said several attempts to establish contact with the suspect had been met by gunfire. new details have come to light in the scandal over the u. s. national security agencies, surveillance of top european politicians. revelations that emerged in 2013 showed that the u. s. intelligence agency had tap the phones of several leaders, including germany's uncle and michael. now, a new multinational media investigation says a danish military intelligence unit supported the u. s. wire tapping operation.
10:16 am
this is done mar, secret communication station near copenhagen. danish intelligence reportedly worked with the us national security hate and seeing from here to eavesdrop on european politicians. that's according to danish sources. a joint investigation by several european media outlets shows former german chancellor candidate pastime brook was among the espionage targets destined todd before the dro test that allied intelligence services spy, and leading politicians of other countries. and the testers. it's evidence that they have a life of their own. i think this is a political scandal. a major problem. the danish government didn't inform their german neighbors. so they apparently knew about the eavesdropping as early as 2015 . the german govern said it only found out about the spying after press inquiries. spying on chance, my uncle america, on former foreign minister, frank walter stein mire, was revealed by an essay leeker, edward snowden and
10:17 am
a parliamentary inquiry. indeed, it did not reveal that a close european ally was involved most esteem for now, you have to understand the system of intelligence services. it's not about friendships or morals, and it's about asserting interests and gathering information to do that for you personally, i wouldn't take the approach with them and we can't trust anybody on the mandan, the say, the danish intelligence service and the danish government refused to comment on the latest revelation. joining us now is antonius kemp on. he's a journalist from german public broadcaster n d r, who was part of the investigation. thanks for being with us and tony, what can you tell us about how you and your colleagues found out about denmark's alleged involvement in the spying operation? the reporting and the reporting of our dean's colleagues is actually based on an investigation that the danish intelligence agent agency himself conducted after
10:18 am
this known revelations. the dentist intelligence agency went to this surveillance station that they operated together with the any say. and they were looking at what is actually being veiled from here that it is secret investigation. and then they found that lots of targets in europe, politicians, but also targets in denmark were being survey of from that station near company. well, this is the whole potentially quite embarrassing for denmark. did danish authorities try to interfere with your investigation in any way? no, there was no interference in the investigation. but i think what is telling is that this report, the so called dunham a report which lists all the targets that were being surveilled from there. that has actually been known to the danish government since 2015 or at least to the danish intelligence agency. and so this report has been in the, in the drawer for a couple of years now, and the european allies weren't informed. and so it was just held secret. and i
10:19 am
think that tells you a lot about how explosive this is. how surprised were you by what you uncover european l i helping the us spy on friendly nations? it is, it is not that surprising if you see that there's a pattern there. what the n s a does is they approach european countries and offer them expertise and software and hardware and in return for a cooperation, they've done that with the german intelligence agency. the point is not. and now we know that they've also done it with a danish intelligence agency. so what they do is they kind of lower single european countries out of the, the loyalty, the loyalty zone. and they say, if you work with us, we can help you increase your intelligence gathering capabilities and apparently a lot of european countries. yeah. so these kind of offers, they are saying you found a danish report, right,
10:20 am
commissioned by the danish government. how have how his dad park responded to what you've uncovered. denmark has so far declined to comment, but i think the public pressure is going to grow too for them to release the, the done home a report. and we've, we've just seen the tip of the iceberg until now. there's a lot more in this report, and i think there's going to be a public debate now. it's getting navia, especially also amongst the countries like sweden and norway, which are very, very close allies to denmark and swedish, and norway no region targets also in this report. so i think there will be a big demand to make this report public journalist and tony's kept mine from germany is in the our broadcaster, thank you very much. thank you for centers now. and the future of this year's copa america soccer tournament has been thrown into doubt just 2 weeks
10:21 am
before it's due to begin. south america's football confederation says it can't be held in argentina as plans because of a corona virus serge. the event had been due to kick off and what is ours? on june, 13th last week, argentine as co host colombia was also stripped to the turn of it because of civil unrest there. or for more on this developing story. enjoy now by max merrill from d w. sports. good to see you max max. the tournament is just 2 weeks away and there's no host. how could this happen? well, like so many tournaments that were originally scheduled for 2020, it had its fashion served of struggles and was already postponed for a year. in april they decided to go without fans just to make things more simple, but the co hosts were argentine and columbia, and columbia were already removed as host 2 weeks ago due to security concerns. due to the protests on going there. and then on that very day, argentina went into
10:22 am
a strict locked down. now since then, argentina has been enduring one of the worst cove it outbreaks on the planets and the government on sunday decided it would not be safe to host a tournament comparable. the south american football federation then rescinded the hosting rights just hours ago. and like you say, we have june 13th the kick off of this tournament. so it's very, very quick turn around now to find a new host and the situation in south america as a whole is quite dia, i mean, of 12 of the 12 countries worldwide with the worst covered case rates at the moment, 7 are in south america, 6 would you to take you to take part in this tournament, including argentina and colombia, the co has to have both now lost hosting, right? so what are the chances that max, that this tournament will actually go ahead as scheduled? what sort of solutions are talked about? well comparable, i said they're going to analyze other countries who have expressed interest in hosting in the past the meeting later today. but that list is very short and
10:23 am
shrinking by the hour chilly has been put forward due to the successful vaccine program and comparison to other south american come countries. but they're struggling with an outbreak themselves. right now brazil in paraguay, a very, very vague. maybe the usa has even been put forward as they previously hosted in 2016 as guest participants, but then involved in this torment. so they have no real incentive to get involved in this situation. bit of an incentive exists. the countries like capital saudi arabia, as sort of neutral host countries, maybe wanting to bail out of the federation in more ways than one, but i think it could and probably should be cancelled after all. this would be the 4th cope america and 60 s used to a special edition being held in 2016 and utilized strike lewis. what is said last week, we should be prioritizing people's health, not money again quickly. europe is also has to host a major tournament continental tournament next month. what are the prospects that?
10:24 am
well, euro 2020 was to build last year as a pan european affair that's still going ahead. instead of 12 cities across the continent were now down to 11 off the dublin pulled out. that will be fans up to 20 percent of stadium capacity, but it's going to be a bit of a logistical nightmare. i mean munich is still not confirmed that they will host fans and teams playing in england and squat. scotland might not be able to travel, for instance, to germany for that quarter. final match. so expected to go ahead, but also expect it to be a bit of a rocky right. nice. thanks so much smacks mail from the w sport. and in the women's german women's, germany cup final heavily favored wolves bark lived up to their reputation. although just barely by narrowly defeating frankfurt, one nail polish international striker even pay or scored the match winner in the dying minutes of the extra time for the hard fought when it's the $7.00 straight
10:25 am
german cup title for sports. the team wanted even while being short the player in the last 20 minutes, the game because of a red car here and the land looked down, restrictions are easing is the number of new covered 19 cases continues to fall. many people had a taste of normal life this weekend with restaurants, kathy's and traditional beer garden serving customers again after a long shut down the one familiar sight in germany, but recently, almost forgotten. now berliners are finally able to enjoy a famous german pastime, again, meeting with friends and abuse garden. so much better to get me here the fresh off the tap showing that certainly a relief. but i must say that i'm still a bit cautious. after many months of closer beer gardens are making a hesitant come back. the employees who had been reduced, paid during the shut down, i finally back to work. severe laws come darting again again,
10:26 am
just coming back to them before because of the need for tests. but here is happy and very relaxed and took out. some patrons are still put off by complex regulations currently in place in germany. to enjoy any outdoor dining customers are required to provide proof of a negative covert has taken on the same day or of prior vaccination or recovery. as this topic goes really as a nuisance. firstly, we don't have enough staff to check everything. and secondly, i don't think it really is their job to police, everyone, especially when it comes to identification with the welcome that this whole issue of will be dropped very soon. for insight dining, i can understand it. but if i, all of these has recovery and evidence vaccination for sitting outside, it makes no sense. as the weather turns warmer and more and more berliners had outdoors for a bike ride or throw the hope for more carefree summer shootings,
10:27 am
imperative beer garden experience is top football all around. just a reminder of our top story, this our, the initial aid organization, doctors without borders, is warning that thousands of people displaced by the recent volcanic eruption in eastern congo or at risk of infection by cholera. around 400000 residents have fled from goma to nearby socket, but access to clean water is proving difficult. business news is next. i'm terry martin. thanks for watching. the news . the news. news. the news
