despite the new 3 childs policy, many chinese a hesitant to have more children. they say the extra costs involved, along with the demands of taking care of their own elderly parents are just too much to bear. i hear ya, they should be more policy support to encourage people to give birth to more children, including more education, support, medical support, so that people are more willing to raise children off some 40 years after the implementation of the one child policy. it seems china's next generations will face a whole set of new challenges. well, for more on this correspondence, my p. s. building is in beijing. hi martinez. now how big of a problem is china's population structure? while the biggest problem of china's population structure that china might reach its peak growth in the next one to 3 years,

and then it's population will start to decline. meaning that it's that the population, the share of the population will rise. that's a problem for many economies that they have to feed more ed and the more retired people, while not having as many young working age people. but for china, this comes at the moment when it's not quite as rich as other countries who have experienced the same. so the burden on the young people will be much higher. and this is something that has worried the government and economists for a few years now. it could be much more difficult to china than for other countries like germany, japan, italy, other european countries that have the same problem. all right, so you said that it's been worrying the government and economist, but what about people in china? what are they saying about the government's policy shift? the generation that is now planning their families is people who are owned

in the end of the twenty's and the beginning of the thirty's. they have all grown up as a during this one child policy, many of them as single children, especially in the cities. so many of them don't even know what it's like to grow up with more children and they feel that there is a lot of pressure on them. and that raising to children might be too much of a pressure, let alone 3. so because there is a big competition in the education system, parents invest a lot in private tutoring. somebody on the internet says that said ironically, that the reason why he doesn't drive 3. rolls royce was never that rolls royce, how to capital, how many rolls royce you can drive others have said, how, how does the government imagine i'm having 3 children when we have to take care of

for elderly parents. so there is a lot of discontent. there was a pole on the on, on social media by the official use agency where you have a 90 percent of people online responded certainly not and seen why the official news agency put the poll after that. well, briefly mathias, is there any talk of the government doing more to help families? yeah, there is talk to have announced that they will improve maternity leave conditions and other things. however, there's a lot a lot they would have to improve in order to make 3 children attractive to many people in china, right? my ts building up, thank you for that update. the agency, doctors without borders is warning that hundreds of thousands of people displaced by a volcano eruption in eastern democratic republic of congo are at risk of cholera infection . the option of mount nearer gumbo, near the city of goma, sparked

a chaotic mass exodus. hundreds of children were separated from their parents. t w's mighty lab reports. now from nearby it's on some of the young people still waiting to be reunited with their families. then he had gone, go volcano, still fuming over a week after the devastating eruption and it's still impacting people. and it's this entity like 6 year old as he lost his parents and the calles when he and his family flat and panic on this child has been found. he will take him to your home because the way to find his parents. he will stay with you. but perhaps you, but it's your works as a volunteer for the red cross. his job is to register children who have been separated from the parents. according to the you and nearly a 1000 children were reported missing after the option of them bahati and his colleagues have been able to reunite 700. with that parents perhaps found ezra

among other children on the street. he says their child has taken in body already has 6 children of his own union as to why they keep a sacrifice the little that i have that god has given me. that is what i feed the children, but are still struggling for at least they can still afford a simple meal. many others fighting over essential the people. yeah. that's not enough. not clean and simple. and it becomes a try to provide to people the next hour. many of the 400000 people who fled the eruption come here to the town of soccer. there are no shelter . people are sleeping and schools are inside this church. what when we want to so

how can i keep to the living conditions? i've become very bad with markets have no, personally, i'm not making a living. i'm now poor was if you know me was taken in 3 days ago. she never forget the moment when the sky turned red. i told my mom, 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 would like to move here because i like it here. playing on the love of a pastor option as right now me hope to be reunited with their parents soon

and dw correspondents, marty l. miller who fall that report joins is now from goma. i'm out and now many people have to flee and they lost their homes. how are they all coping with the situation? yes, so there are 4500 homes that have been destroyed. and 20000 people have been affected by the lava and the russian. according to the us, and as you could see in this report and the tunnel secor which is more or less 30 kilometers away from here, people basically left with nothing. so they lack food. they like drinkable water, likes any taishan medical treatment and also shelter as it could also see. so it was really devastating to see that because the situation now is going on for, for almost a week over a week actually. and still, they don't, they use people. so it gets sold us help and they also criticize that i love so.

yeah, that's the current situation. but the most, my thing is just probably the lack of drinkable water and that's what also people tell us. they even go to this lake like cable to get water and the water is actually not fit for drinking, but dangerous drink it because you could get caller on the water borne diseases. and that's also what, yeah, doctors without borders is warning that there could be a color outbreak. so very difficult situation indeed. now what can you tell us about the current volcanic activity in the area? yes, so expert and we're going to say code other risk assessment and they found out that there are indicators that show that there might be mark my here below this area actually of go mind all stretching into the lake like cable, which is particularly interesting because that is kind of a nightmare scenario in the 3rd world here concerning. okay. no science because they say if there's interruption under the lake and also lava flowing into the lake,

that could release huge amounts of carbon dioxide that are now just soft and the depth of the lake. and if these are released, they could rise to the, to the, to the top of the lake, and then even forms very toxic, very deadly cloud that even moves onto the ground and kills every living being. and that's actually what happened in 1986 in cameroon. and 1700 people died, many animals died and back then it was still not clear what, what caused that phenomenon? well, what's the government doing? and are they doing enough to monitor the volcanic activities and also protecting the lives of the people who live near it? yeah, so there is this observatory that is in charge. the gold level came up, the tree. they monitor every kind of activity share. and they that

something was actually cut, the world bank didn't renew a funding program. and they said because of embezzlement allegations, but that left the vulcan ologist and the experts with them to hand. they couldn't even pay for internet. that means they couldn't even provide or perform the basic checks in order to monitor the volcano and also to foresee an interruption like this. and i spoke to a book and i was just told me, yeah, we expect that the government to step and we expect to get support by the government and also because they have the responsibility to protect the population . well, we'll leave it there. d, w correspondence l. miller. thanks for your reporting. let's get you up to speed on some of the other stories making headlines around the world. this our west african leaders have suspended molly from the echo us trading lines after a 2nd military coup in 9 months. but the meeting in ghana held back from re imposing sanctions on monday. instead, the block is insisting about a civilian government has install to prepare for elections. police and jerry,

a say gun and have kidnapped around 200 children from a school in new air state. it's the latest in a series of such rates. 700 students have been abducted and held for ransom since december. german and french cabinet ministers are meeting virtually for their last summit. under the leadership of anglo michael, the chancellor had spoken with the french president and my new out of my call via video link are spokesman hales the close cooperation between the 2 allies, nato secretary general, yes. stilton berg says the alliance will restrict access to its headquarters for better routine. diplomats. the decision comes a week after batteries forced a passenger plane to divert to minsk and arrested and visit in turn list on board. batteries is not a member of nato, but maintains a diplomatic mission to the organization. germany is seeking clarification over report that denmark helped us by on senior european politicians,

including chancellor anglo michael initial revelations nearly a decade ago showed that the u. s. national security intelligence agency tapped the phones of several leaders with medical among them. now a new multinational media investigations as a danish military intelligence unit supported the u. s. wire tapping operation. thing on your neighbors. denmark secret intelligence agency report. he gave us counterpart the n s a access to extensive data streams through danish internet cables to eavesdrop on european politicians. a joint investigation by several european media outlets shows for my german chancellor candidate pastime book was one of these pianos targets. he is angry at the revelation saying it's pretty grotesque that allied intelligence services by a leading politicians of other countries is evidence that they have a life of their own. i think this is

a political scandal. the phone tapping of chancellor angela michael and former foreign minister frank by dash 9. maria came out in 2013 as part of whistleblower. edward snowden leaks on the essays activities. what they didn't reveal was that such a close european ally was involved. another major problem, the danish government didn't inform their german neighbors that they apparently knew about the ease dropping as early as 2015 to those who were involved in the original investigation into the n. s a scandal. this hasn't come as a surprise. that's why i always pointed out, we have interest, we have common interests, but there is no field of friendship concerning states or agencies. friendship you have from between person, but not between agency. so never talk to anybody. the german government said it only found out about the latest revelations from the press,

but on the question of what repercussions they would be uncle americans spokesperson refused to be drawn. further. be honest with you on the federal government has taken note of the report and is in contact with all relevant national and international bodies for clarification. in kentucky the danish intelligence service and the danish government haven't yet commented on the revelations, but they are sure to have ruffled some feathers here in berlin. well, for more were joined by our political correspondent cities that torpor. hi teresa. now, how serious a breach of trust is this between denmark and germany? well, hello, it is a serious breach of trust. of course, i mean, for many experts this revelation didn't really come as a price because of course, that is what intelligence agencies are for. they gain information and they pass it onto the government so that these can pursue the interests. and of course, we know that european agents intelligence agencies have been working closely not

only with each other, but also with us counterparts in the past decades. but what makes this case stand out? what makes it so specialist? the fact that denmark, as a really close ally of germany is a fellow you country. it's even a direct neighbor. and that the fact that denmark choose to side with the u. s. over germany and its european allies is quite a surprise. it's quite telling, and that's what's causing quite a bit of outrage here in berlin. well, you said this cruising a bit of rage. is the german government going to take action over these allegations? well, we haven't heard a lot from them so far. we've heard in the report the past, steinberg, a politician affected by this has commented on the issue called it political scandal, but he's not a part of the german government anymore. his doesn't even hold a political office anymore. and other politicians affected like most notably, of course, chance le, le macklin, german president, sunglass stine maya,

have not publicly commented on it, but that doesn't come as a surprise, because as we've just heard, they only found out about this whole thing by the press. inquiries are not that long ago, and we've heard the german government spokes person common there. and he also didn't say much, someone from the danish government has reacted. now that's the danish ministry of defense. and she said that, of course, like a systematic spying on close allies is unacceptable. and then to something we know an assessment. we know the german government shares dw political correspondent, today's top. i thank you for that update you zealand military has been called in to help evacuate hundreds of people court in flooding in the south island, a state of emergencies and force across the country region as much as 40 centimeters of rain has fallen over the last 2 days, meteorologists say that's more than as previously fallen all year.

the extent of the flooding houses marooned by water roads impossible. this one left with a gaping hole and rivers have turned into lakes. oh, went to bed about 10 o'clock last night and i was not assigned to the river. get up to 6 o'clock this morning and gone to ask them to order the canterbury region on you, seal and south island is a foaming hub. but the deluge of rain is making work hard, even if some a pushing on a brave face carried on the ferry. oh, don't worry about it. why you just got out for water on all conditions.

conditions have left some extreme danger. on sunday, this man was lifted to safety off to becoming trapped in flood water with a really, really, really risky, very lucky we try to steer here. they call the really yes, i could get through because the we so it has been a really good health care for everybody. up to the top here rescue work is a trying to reach a car that's fallen down the cliff just above the raging river. hundreds of people have been evacuated from their homes. authorities have now declared a state of emergency with more rain expected. let's take a look at some developments in the corona virus pandemic. the brazilian city of

santa has seen cove in 1900 deaths dropped by 95 percent after was able to vaccinate almost all adults. brazil is the world's 3rd worst hit country. australia is 2nd most popular state victoria has reported to 11 new cases. rising numbers could prompt authorities to extend a 7 day lockdown, and the european commission is calling on you states to graduate loose and travel restrictions over the summer. as the pandemic eases did here is copa american soccer tournament has been moved to brazil just 2 weeks before kickoff. and the competition couldn't be held in argentina as planned because of a corona virus search. the event was due to beginning when a fight is on the 13th of june. argentine as co host colombia has also been stripped of the torment because of civil unrest there. while for more on this developing story, i'm joined by i pad. susie, welcome to the student and the tournament is just 2 weeks away and i brazil has

jumped in. is this a wise decision? well, it's hard to see the logic in this because brazil has the 2nd highest number, or rather the 3rd highest number of krona virus cases in the world and the 2nd highest number of deaths. and now of k argentine it does have an uptick in corona virus. cases on thursday, for example, last week they got 41000 people who tested positive. that is an uptick, but they are in lockdown, so those numbers should be coming down. and so to go to from one country with a definite problem, argentina and corona virus, to a country with perhaps a bigger problem. look at numbers wise is very bizarre thing. i mean, a lot of people are saying now this is for the presidential your bull sonata because he wants to do more self promotion. that's a common criticism of him and he's a football not which is fine, but so it's the whole continent there. so it's, it's a strange decision, a lot of people originally thought this was going to go to perhaps the middle eastern country. and that didn't happen. well, are tell us,

how did we get to this point? well, it was already postponed by a year. they were supposed to take place last year. so 12 months postponement. and then colombian, argentina were going to co host the 1st time ever 2 countries were going to co host the tournament. and then with because of the social and rest in columbia, the con, the ball, the soccer governing body football, governing body and shots, america took away. it took them out of the tournament and then with argentina and its uptick in cases, we got to this point now that argentina is also out of it. and if that's, they've never specifically said there was because of corona virus, but they said due to present circumstances. so anyway, that is the situation. now we're going to do this in brazil in 2 weeks time, and god knows what's going to happen now, because so many people are complaining about how corona virus is being treated. there are not being treated there. right? well, you know, europe as well as gearing up for its own tournament, the euros which are taking place now in june. how are things looking here?

well, 11 cities are going to host games. and basically, the attendance will be restricted to about 20 percent of capacity in stadiums. budapest, the push gosh, arena is an exception. they're going to have considerably more. and that is also a cause concern by a lot of people wondering where that this is going to increase the corona by your situation in hungary. and so that's the tournaments supposedly it's going to take place in 2 weeks time concerns, especially for the england team, for example, because of the england variance, are they going to be bringing over the virus over to continental europe? a lot of questions up there. a lot of things up in the air. you know, corona virus who knows? well, ours, we're going to leave it there. but before you go, this is your last day at the w after 25 years. you're going into semi retirement right in the studio last time on this. there you go and that you've been an absolutely fantastic colleague, great friend. thank you. talk, professional, help you people out there in the studio. i just want to say from the,
