a simple meal. many others are fighting over essential, good, the but then that again, that's not enough. not clean and simple. and it becomes a try to provide to people the next hour, many of the $400000.00 people who fled the option come here to the town of soccer. there are no shelters. people are sleeping and schools are inside the church. what when we want to so how can i keep to the living conditions? i've become very bad with markets have no, if you would have enough personally, i'm not making a living. i am now poor. was this new one now me was taken in 3 days ago. she never forgot the moment when the sky turned red.

i told my mom, look, the volcano is now on fire. we got out and many we're seeing there was when we lost each other. i was very afraid i was shaking. i was not even able to run to the house. she thinks she knows where her parents might be, but it's far away. and transportation is expensive. after i find mom and dad, but i would like to move here because i like it you playing on the love of a past interruption as right 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 have crossed the border to rhonda for example. but if you go a 30 kilometers to the west, to the tunnel succor that you have seen in the report, the situation is actually dire. so people really struggle to get a drink of water. and so, and the report and it's quite dangerous because also mentioned there is the looming threat of an evil or sorry of an outbreak. so because been now trying to drink the water from the lake, 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 with health organization. many people who fled go 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 also mentioned there's no shelter. so it's really difficult people sleep out in the open base keeping churches and schools and mosques. they're lucky if they have relatives or family members neighbors who can take them in. but the government is also concerned that there might be a cove. it spreads easiest but of cobra because of the melt. you're 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 level cain 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, this observatory, 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 is activities. so it's quite crucial to have internet. and he also found it very frustrated when you talk to me that 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 you . thank you for your reporting. our correspondent mariel marilla. they're in goma.

now let's catch up on some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. china has announced it will allow couples to have up to 3 children. move comes after a census found the population is aging rapidly. the communist party has enforced strict birth limits for for decades, but it's concerned now that the low birth rate will add to strains on its shrinking workforce and the economy. police and the jury se gunman have kidnapped around 200 children from a school in niger state. it's the latest and a series of such raids with 700 students, abducted and help her ransom since december. israel's far right part he liter natalie bennett, says he will. he is willing to join forces with the opposition to our prime minister benjamin netanyahu. that could pay the way for abroad alliance headed by the liberal former finance minister. yeah, you're lucky. it comes after

a 4th consecutive election into a man hunt is under way. in southwestern france for a former soldier who opened fire on police responding to a domestic violence call man is hiding out in a wooded area of the dawn, the region police said several attempts to establish contact with the suspects had been met with 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 us intelligence agency had tap the phones of several leaders, including germany's anglo medical. now, a new multinational media investigation says a danish military intelligence unit supported the us wire topping wire tapping operation. this is done march secret communication station near copenhagen.

danish intelligence reportedly worked with the us national security agency 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 natasha pointed to the grotesque that outlined intelligence services spy and leading politicians of other countries. equal test. 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 government said it only found out about the spying after press inquiries. spying on chancellor mack on former foreign minister, frank walter stein mire, was revealed by an essay leeker edward snowden and 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 them so much your personally, i would take the approach with them and we can't trust anybody on the model. vienna say the danish intelligence service and the danish government refused to comment on the latest revelations. earlier i spoke to journalist antonio kemp, one from german broadcaster n d r. he was part of that investigation. i asked him how denmark had responded to these new revelations. denmark heard so far declined to comment, but i think that the public pressure is going to grow too for them to release the don 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 no way, no region targets are also in this report. so i think there will be a big demand to make this report public. so sports is now in the future of this year's copa. america has been thrown into doubt just 2 weeks before it's due to begin. south american football confederation says it can't be held in argentina as planned because of a corona. by research there, the event had been due to kickoff and when is aris on june, 13th last week, argentine as co host colombia was also stripped of the turn of it because of civil unrest there. and in the women's german cup, final heavily favored wolf sports lived up to their reputation, although just barely by narrowly defeating frankfurt, one nail polish international striker. if pi your score the match winner in the dying minutes of extra time for the hard part. when it's the 7 straight german cup

title for both what the team wanted, even while being short a player in the last 20 minutes, the game because of a red card here merlin walked down, restrictions are easing as the number of new co 19 cases continues to fall, many people had a taste of normal life this weekend with restaurants, cafes, and traditional beer gardens serving customers again. after a long shut down the one familiar sight in germany. but recently almost forgotten. now but then there are finally able to enjoy a famous german pastime, again, meeting with friends and abuse garden. so much better to get me here fresh on the tap and to show that certainly a relief. but i must say that i'm still a bit cautious. after many months of closure, beer gardens are making a hesitant come back. the employees who had been reduced pay during the shut down

or finally back to work severe laws dining again, again, it's still coming back to them before because of the need for tests. but here is happy and very relax. 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 cove. it has taken on the same day or of prior vaccination or recovery. this topic goes really has a nuisance and i'm frankly, we don't have enough staff to check everything. and secondly, i don't think it really is our job to police everyone, especially when it comes to identification with us in the book. and that this whole issue of testing will be dropped very soon. for insight dining, i can understand it, but you have to verify all these tests recovery and evidence vaccination proceeding outside. and it makes no sense. as the weather turns warmer and more and more
