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, matthew building is in beijing. hi mathias. 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, right? that's a problem for many economies that they have to feed more 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 for 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 economists, but what about people in china? what are they saying about the governments policy shift? the generation that is now planning their families is people who are around in the end of the twenty's and the beginning of the 30s, they have all grown up 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 had a cap on 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 social media by the official use agency. will you have a 3rd child 90 percent of people online responded certainly not seen why the

official says if you 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 not a lot they would have to improve in order to make 3 children attractive to many people. all 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 erupted in eastern democratic republic of congo, or at risk of cholera infection. the option of mount nearer ganga, near the city of goma, sparked a chaotic mass exodus. hundreds of children were separated from their parents. the w. money at mila reports now from nearby soccer on, some of the young people still waiting to be reunited with their families. then he

still struggle at least they can still afford a simple meal. many others fighting over essential to the that's not enough, not seen and tried to provide the people over the next hour. many of the 400000 people who fled the option come here to the town of soccer . there are no shelter. people are sleeping in schools or inside the church when we want to. so how can i keep the living conditions? i've become very bad with markets. i have no food enough. personally, i'm not making a living. i'm now poor. was this. you know me was taken in 3 days ago. she never forgot the moment when the sky turned red.

i told my mom, mom, look, the volcano is now on fire. we got out and menus fleeing. 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. me in the 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. the. the leaders of france and germany are demanding answers over report. the denmark helped us by on senior european politicians, including chancellor anglo michael,

she and the french president, the manual my call have just held their last online, similar to under her leadership. initial revelations near the a decade ago showed that the u. s. national security agency top the phones of several leaders with medical among them. now, a new multinational media investigation says a danish military intelligence unit supported the us wire tapping operation. spying on the neighbors. denmark secret intelligence agency report, he gave us counterpart the essay access to extensive data streams through danish internet cables to stop on european politicians. a joint investigation by several european media outlets shows former german chancellor candidate pastime bernard was one of the spanish 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 engler, medical and former foreign minister, frank by dashed i my 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 the gym and neighbors that they apparently knew about the 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 interests, 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 trust anybody. the chairman government said it only found out about the latest revelations from the press,

but on the question of what repercussions they would be uncle american spokesperson refused to be drawn further. be bonus with 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 intelligent service and the danish government haven't yet commented on the revelations, but they're sure to have ruffling some feathers here in berlin. well, for more we're joined by our political correspondent, today's october. i today is that now, what is the reaction so far? well, probably as we've heard for a long time, there was no official reaction from the german government. but that has just changed because after meeting between and chance langler macklin, the french president him on when michael macross at that wire tapping allies was not acceptable. and that france and germany were seeking full clarity on what

happened. and i'm going to agree to that. but she also added that she was relieved to hear that the danish government shared this assessment, and that she doesn't think that they would be lasting damage to the german damage relationship. all right, well, i mean, that's what i'm going to say. hi, serious a breach of trust is this between denmark and germany, the it is a serious breach of trust. i mean, experts were not surprised because that's what intelligence agencies do. they gain information, they pass it onto their governments so that these can pursue their interest. and of course, europe in allies have not only been working closely with each other with intelligence agencies, but also with us counterparts. so that doesn't come as a surprise, but what makes this case stand out is the fact that denmark is a very close ally of germany. it is a fellow you country is even a direct neighbor. and the fact that it choose to side with us and against it's

european partners and germany is remarkable. and that's what's causing quite a bit of outreach in germany. all right, we'll leave it there. g w political correspondent, today's i hope i thank you. well before we go, here's a quick reminder of our top story. china, it's scrapping. it's a long standing policy of only allowing couples to have 2 children. parents will now be able to have up to 3 officials fared the following. birth rate could threaten economic growth. the agency doctors without borders this morning, the thousands of people displaced by volcano eruption and eastern democratic republic of congo are at risk of color. and the, well, that's all from us for now. coming up next more on the pandemic in our coven, 1900 special. i am puzzled us for me, and the rest of the team here in take care to the

news . news . the fight against the corona virus pandemic. how has the rate of infection in developing? what does the latest research information and context the corona virus, not because it's 19 special next on dw, sometimes a seed. it's all you need to allows big ideas to grow. we're bringing environmental conservation to life with learning backs like global ideas. we will show you

how climate change and mental conservation is taking shape around the world and how we can all make a difference knowledge and grows through sharing. download it now for the, for the ah, ah, well, the order was for me. oh, on mount everest climb is, are aiming for the top of the world. but it's not just cold and extreme heights putting lives at risk. many a pushing for the peak despite a corona virus outbreak on the mountain. southern teams were devastated by coven and went to share. but when you lose your water base camp climb nipples. hospitals are overrun with thousands of new daily cases. critical oxygen cylinders

and vaccines are in short supply as opposed covert storm continues to rage. the pool is in lockdown, battling it's west surgeon cove at 19 the health care sector is totally overwhelmed . we'll talk to the red cross in a moment. first, the government's desperate calls for help from abroad. even the help of international tourists, a record number of whom is registered to climb the world's most famous mountain view. the seasons coming to an end, but the climate could still do the people to nepal. a huge favor. gasping for precious breath in a race against time. these coven patients in the himalayas are fighting for their lives, there among the lucky few to have access to oxygen, vital, but increasingly scarce result here. a recent surgeon cove at 19 cases has brought nepal fragile health care system to

a breaking point. and oxygen supplies are running out. now the government's urging not ever it's climate to help expedite margin somebody. in addition, it has install climbers at the base campus have an ample number of oxygen cylinders, high equity. and we have requested owners and operators to bring back those empty cylinders immediately after the completion of their expeditions, utilizing the benefits of the people family. so i got a new pool has issued some 700 climbing permit this season and been to get the mountaineering and tourism industry back on their feet. its estimated climate will abandon around a 3 and a half 1000 oxygen bottles on the mountain this year alone. cylinder is desperately needed in the fight against corona virus, our man and in our public there have a lot of war and sickness. so they have

a problem for oxygen. we have around 7 sunny tracks. have that 1000 bottle. so we can, we can come here, we can provide the cylinder to our main and government will make the field for medical oxygen. these bottles are being prepped for a mountain trek. he's the government's plans, work out. they could soon be saving lives on the ground. nature process, tim sina joined us from nicole red cross, he's in cap. man. do tell us about what's happening there because you described the situation in india as a horrifying preview of napoleon future. what is the situation like now the in the fall are increasing the by d. and then it takes on the about 40 to 50 percent in region 40 to 50 percent for the last week. and then you also go the already and then in

what about help from abroad help from these climate climbing ever is bringing back their anti oxygen tanks. is there enough help coming? yes, yes. and then you go in there for the last 3 weeks. there are many, many, then you manage in and out, and i just and has provided oxygen, oxygen bond medical supply means all demoss and roles. and then if he did on the many medicine. so the embassies and then going in and then the government from the law countries and that route and also find out how to provide it. 7 now and then the now situation is not that much, but we like the $60000.00 doctors and fill in this. what about vaccine has also been a call from government officials to help from abroad. as far as vaccine doses go we don't have any direction right now. and then then our all means our prime, the, our prime ministers and our she didn't approach to the moment of us. yeah. or they

just put the need fractions and then india and then sign. and then also you get them and also, you know, i did is did. and then sign out for me, the 1000000, but from others notice months. so now in the, i've given 1000000 the months before and then all the 1000000. where did you start to? is it possible? but we don't have the 2nd or the money, but indoors we look on, we don't, we are not. so they've asked me to do we want back and, and then back to neither one vaccine is any the one the source on the object will be so tell us, what does nicole need to do right now to get on top of this situation? we need, we need to, we need, we need a medically approved friends and the medical require our hospitals and also we need faxes. we need coating batteries and the medical

equipment including off season cylinder and actually going to blonde cable have to leave it there. thank you very much for joining us and being on the show today. pleasure speaking to enter a pass since, you know, thank you. thank you. one. turning now to some other stories from the panoramic. india's corona virus infections, the 28000000 on monday, with health authorities reporting over 2000000 active cases. there is some good news in news day. the new infection rates continue to decline indicating the current wave may have already paid. china has locked down, gone, joe asked for a flare up in new co good cases. initial reports indicate the new infections that linked to the mutation 1st to take it in india. health authorities are ramping up local testing and vaccination drives to prevent a widespread outbreak. the palestinian territories have approved a single dose version of brushes. sputnik vaccine tubs make light rushes direct

basement fund is reportedly and talks with india manufacturers to stop producing the job as early as next month. they use an asian markets and a record virus search has hit 1000 tina force and officials to suspend the copa america football tournament. there. the chief cabinet minister said his country tried to keep its commitment to always think the event, but the, if in the me a logical situation made it impossible. south african president 0 rema poses, says his country is re imposing a strict lockdown. i made a new surgeon covered 19 cases where he says to harrisburg and pictorial, and now in a 3rd wave surgeon cases also highlights south africa, slow vaccine rollout. when the around one of the half percent of the country, 60000000 people have received the 1st dose. the w said re increase in cape town, says another lockdown was inevitable. the new restrictions don't come as

a surprise to most south africans, because the numbers of new infections have been increasing in the past days and weeks and almost reached 5000 you cases the day. at the moment. this is still far away from the peak. we have seen during the 2nd wave in january where we had more than 20000 new cases a day, but it is still a reason to worry, especially because the vaccination campaign here has been starting very slow. so therefore, it has all the vaccines for 75 percent of its population, but only a fraction of that arrived in the country. and the president has been complaining about that many times before. thing it is not fair that wealthy nations have stronger access to vaccines than countries like south africa and also the neighboring countries on the continent. yes, so far only those above the age of 60 are allowed to get the jap. so this is less than 2 percent of the population at the moment. those who are younger than 60, even if they have co morbidities, don't even know if they'll be able to get

a vaccine. by the end of this year, time for derek williams. and the question that could be on your mind if you're waiting for the jap oh, i have a mild cold. can i get vaccinated anyway? great question. you might have been waiting for months for an appointment to get vaccinated, and then the day before your notice stops out. well, i can tell you from personal experience with, for example, my kids pediatricians. that in general, if you're feeling even a little under the weather on the day of a shot, and doctors really don't like to vaccinate you for anything. in the panoramic. however, the cdc in the u. s. at least has apparently loosened that rule of thumb somewhat. and germany's health authority, the whole that conference, the to it agrees both say that if you basically only have the sniffles, then vaccinate yours can go ahead and give you

a covert 19 vaccine. but if you're feeling moderately or more severely el, they say, then you should wait until you recover from whatever you have to receive one. as far as i can tell, doctors and other medical experts appear to draw the line between mild and moderate illness, largely based on the presence or the absence of fever. so. so if you just have a runny nose or a scratchy throat, but your temperature is normal or close to it, then you're apparently good to go. if you have more acute sickness, however, that involves higher fever for germany's health authority. that's, that's anything over $38.00 and a half degrees celsius. then you should wait to be vaccinated. but, but one way or the other, you need to be tested beforehand to, to rule out the possibility that you might have picked up stories, covey to and,

and if it turns out that what's actually causing your cold like symptoms is a mild case of over 19 then the recommendation is to wait until you've recovered fully, then at least another couple of weeks before rescheduling your appointment. derek williams, air. i'm den facility. thanks for watching. stay safe and see you again to use the use the use
