the discovery of the world around you subscribed to the w documentary on you to me you're watching the w news asia coming up today. when the last us troops depart, afghanistan, does the timber with a local military be ready to take on full responsibility for the country security? we take a closer look and us citizens take up arms against the military rulers. does that mean young mar is heading into civil war? plus, climbing mount everest is tough enough, but how about doing it when you can't think we'll have the story of the 1st blind mountaineer from china to reach the summit?

the news i melissa chant, thanks for joining us. 20 years after the u. s. military showed up in f. ganeth dan, it's withdrawal will likely be as disruptive as its arrival. and the taliban is still around as both a potent political and military force. many afghans worried the country will soon spiral into a civil war, and they don't have confidence. their military will be a match against insurgents. after after not mohammed, he lost his 2 legs in the fire fight with the tale. bon, he thought the state would at least offer him good care. but the once loyal commander has lost faith in the army, which has failed to pay his pension for nearly a year. more to be on. i don't regret my sacrifices,

but i'm upset with the afghan government. they haven't looked after me properly. i don't receive my salary on time or which is the least they can do for me. another week. authority said, cases of corruption are rare, but watched our group say that's not the case. they reviewed instances of commanders who use norm existence, personnel to collect extra paychecks. army soldiers complain about emulation shortages and substandard equipment from corrupt suppliers. military experts, one that these signs of demoralization might view the resurgence of the tale bon, especially after the us troops begin their final pull out ending nearly 20 years of military engagement. the person african authorities disagree. there will be no security vacuum or gap and sun because as you know, our poses, if you can defend and defend up going to send independently. but over the past few

weeks, dozens of outposts and bases already surrendered to the tale bon. despite the losses, some soldiers say they will persevere slot as we are alive. as far as we have bullets, and as far as we often there's a fight, then we will not stop veterans like mohammed, the left optimistic gender is not over in afghanistan yet. right now the war is at its peak here. foreign soldiers leaving seeing that afghan, astonish thank now. but i don't think so long. he sees many tough fights ahead and he knows that soldiers often risk the most. joining us as journalist alley le chafie and cobble we just heard the spokes person for the afghan military insist there will be no security vacuum after the americans leave given attacks.

we've already seen that seems like a lot of wishful thinking. no, he's not necessarily wrong. if you look at it in the last few months, and it's all about, have tried to take several provinces, right? they've tried to take his mind them, me in the style. they've tried to take a lot more than the ease. and so far they've been unsuccessful. but the issue is that when you do that, you send a lot of resources, right? you send thousands of troops to one area to, to, to concentrate on that one area. so you're trying to put out one big inferno, while they're essentially like all of these other little battles going along, going on everywhere out. and so what that does is, you know, you, you can, you can control one area. you can make sure that you keep control of one area, but then the question is, are you sacrificing the attention to other areas? and then are you just constantly going from one place to another,

trying to right toward a concentrated attack from the taller bought. and we also saw the army veteran who hasn't received his pension in a year. i'm wondering how can soldiers fight the taliban successfully if they're not comforted, their government will take care of them. so this is been a long term problem. so we're talking not just pension, we're talking about actual payment. for instance, the last time i was in the eastern province of log out, which is about a couple of months ago, i talked to a number of soldiers and police who said that they had not been paid in month. one said that he hadn't been paid in a month, you know, it's been a month that he had come from the north, with fighting and law god, what hon. dangerous provinces in the country. and he was saying, you know, he was fortunate because he had family that could take care and provide for the rest of his family. but you know, other soldiers weren't lucky with thing. look, when a soldier abandoned their post, now they don't just abandon the post. they take the weapon,

they take the artillery, they take the ammunition with them because that's all money, right? that's all making up for what you're not being given while you're putting your life and immense danger for months, if not years at a time. wow. and it all seems to come down to corruption when it comes to the military, any chance of reform on that front. so you know, various governments where various ministers have try to, i implement, you know, reform programs within the police and within the military. but it's very difficult because what you have is, you know, you have corruption from the very top. you have many ministers, you have deputies, you have general, you have high level police official. and then you have, you know, like the lower ranks all involved, to some degree in some form of corruption or you have for instance, that you have the counter narcotics police who say, look, we're being threatened by mafia and the taller body at the same time. so if we

don't somehow work with them, we're putting our lives in danger at a time when we're not equipped properly when we're not getting the money we were promised. so it's really a difficult situation because you're talking about an issue from the top all the way to the bottom. you know, if the tree is right at the top and the roots will have the same problem. ali la tv, always a pleasure to talk to you. thank you. man. mars. underground government has released the video footage of a new defense force. it has formed to challenge the leaders of the military coup. they say the 1st group of around 100 new recruits have now finished training. the resistance made up of many supporters of the popular national league for democracy and fancy chief party. say they will build an army to overthrow military rule. to this end, they've been working to bring together anti who just sit in with me and mars many ethnic rebel groups to try to form

a federal army. to explain this further, we have him in tons editor at frontier, myanmar, a explain to viewers the difference between this new so called people's defense force and long standing rebel armies that represent the interest of the car in for example. so people sometimes forces really come in to forms what viewers just saw in the video now are formal organizations that are under the group. greg command of the civilian shadow government. and they also cover these sort of informal groups are created by local leaders that are really focused on self defense, but have declared themselves loyal to disability and government. and so the main difference that we're seeing is that these defense forces are local organizations that are not based on a necessity or other political goals, like independence or autonomy for specific ethnic groups or religious religious groups. but they are sort of very local grassroots organizations. and you know,

there isn't a huge division right now between these groups. and we are actually seeing that many, in many cases, people are sharing things like weapons, as well as training between the ethnic army and the civilian groups. right now. how much of this is a military extension of on sunset cheese national league for democracy party? so in the video we just saw and, and the formalization that we're seeing of these groups, we're really seeing the ministry of defense under the new national unity government, the shadow government trying to create a former military, you know, in the view of the civilian government with all the military, as it is right now, are traders who are not accountable to the people of me and more, and therefore, have been declared to terrorist organization. the military has declared civilian government and there are forces to be treated as well. so you have to sort of political, back and forth. but a doesn't mean using the government is

a much more multiethnic, multi religious organization. but we do see that the entity is a dominating force in that that sounds a little bit like the beginnings of a civil war is that what we're seeing? so you know, in many ways no one has been in civil war for the last 70 or so years. the group you mentioned earlier like the career and have been fighting for greater freedoms within the m r. and some other groups have declared independence at various times. i think what we're really seeing now is the beginning of an all out war in which even the city centers are affected and no one's really safe. whereas before, you know, people were say for say for especially if there were urban areas em and time to thank you so much for joining us as always. thank you for having me. a line was a bit shaky there, but glad we got to speak with a you can also find more of our coverage on yen mar, on our website, v w dot com,

glaucoma, he managed to get to the top of everest with the help of 3 guides. he believes his experience, if reaching the summit, was different from that of most other climates. so that's what he missed. i didn't feel exhilarated or emotional, like other timers. i didn't think too much of i thought that the environment around me was quite risky. so i told my guide, i wanted to get down quickly to the shanghai made it down to base camp safely. he said he knows why he was successful and have some advice. others in his position. time you a whole new me if you're disabled or able bodied, whether you have lost your ice, i don't have no legs or hands. it doesn't matter as long as you have a strong mind. you can always complete a thing that other people can leave your relation. in his case, this is certainly turned out to be true. that's it for today. follow us

africa's most valuable cultural heritage. thousands of ornate sculptures and plaques, known as the bidding bronzes. the artifact once filled the royal palace and bending city until they were stolen by british soldiers and sold into collections around the world. for a long time, it looks like the bidding bronze is, might never return to africa than last month. germany promised to give back hundreds of them. now the pressure on other countries is mounting. the city is a bustling metropolis with a population of 2000000 in southwestern nigeria and a centuries old royal city for the people here, the bending, bronze is more than they are part of the history since the blood, the british raid, in 1897, the originals have been missing now some offset, to return the artist and to pull off the ball was relieved to hear about germany's

promise he's been campaigning for this for years. it's been a slow and agonizing process. you could use an analogy of saying if the work of michelangelo, davinci beethoven most are shakespeare was removed, they were all removed from europe for the last 120 years. then the civilization in europe today, we're not the way t less than 0.5 percent of the present. and i just have access to these museums can travel abroad to see these walks certain parts of our story out of our heritage is lost. and so that is how we feel like memory loss, loss of cultural sculptures, monumental bus masks metroplex. the bronze is show animals, kings princesses, and they document royal life. thousands of these works don't to royal palace the

the news news, this is dw news lie from berlin paging and this is a major policy shift to china flowing birthright. the limit of 2 children per family is being scrapped. couples will be allowed up to 3. economists say the aging population is a threat to growth. also coming up with lost in the chaos of a volcano, erosion. we meet the children separated from their parents and a massive occupation, and the volunteers doing their best to take care of them. and germany demands

answer is over a report suggesting denmark help the united states to spy on chancellor ah, i am publicly as welcome to the program. china is scrapping. it's long standing policy of only allowing couples to have 2 children. parents will now be able to have up to 3. the ruling communist party wants to reverse the low birth rate. the latest census shows china's population is growing at its lowest in decades. and officials fear the aging population means a shrinking workforce could threaten economic growth. this pediatric center in beijing may look busy, but china is birthright, has fallen heavily in recent years. many hear welcome to use of the new 3 child policy, but also regretted that it didn't come sooner to you. i think it's

a good policy because the aging population is quite a serious problem. that's i think the country should have taken the step earlier. it was like us have missed the time that we could have had another child. child is rolling communist party relaxed. it's one child policy in 2016, allowing most couples to have to. but that appears to have done little to stop the birthrights downward trend latest census data shows that the number of people in china older than 65 rose sharply in the last decade. at the same time, the working age population shrank dramatically. 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 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. billing is in beijing, highmark ts. 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 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 pay more ed and the more retired

people, while not having as many young working age people. but for china, this comes with 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 government's 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 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 that a low and 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, 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 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. they have announced that they will improve maternity leave conditions and other things. however, it is a lot a lot they would have to improve in order to make 3 children attractive to many people in china. all right, my ts billing. yeah, thank you for that update. the agency doctors without borders is warning the hundreds of thousands of people displaced by a volcano or option in eastern democratic republic of congo ard risk of cholera infection. the eruption of mount near a gun go near the city of goma, sparked a chaotic mass exodus. hundreds of children were separated from their parents. he w. mario miller reports now from nearby soccer 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 of option. and it's still impacting people in it's is 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. and he will take him to your home. because the way to find his parents, he will stay with you. but, but you're welcome, but happy, 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. but he found ezra among other children on the street. he says that child has taken him, but he already has 6 children of his own union. as you left wally, keep

a sacrifice the little that i have that god has given me. that is what i feed the children, but are still struggling. at least they can still afford a simple meal. many others fighting over essential good, the people within that and that's not enough, not pain. and it becomes a part of the provide to people the next hour, many of the 400000 people who fled the option come here to the town of soccer. there are no shelters. people are sleeping in schools or inside the church when we want to. so how can i keep the living conditions have become very bad? markets have know if we would have enough personally, i'm not making a living. i'm now poor. was this thing here. 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 were 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 to play on the love of a pastor option as right now. me hope to be reunited with their parents soon. the. well, let's get you up to speed on some of the dealer stories making headlines around the world. people are voting in long delayed parliamentary elections in the break away

somali region of some islands. somebody land declared to independence 30 years ago, but it's not gained international recognition authorities say the polls demonstrate its comparative stability. the rest of somalia has so for decades of civil war and syria, medical workers are protesting. after the world health organization gave a seat on its executive board to the government of president basher, dozens rallied in rebel held italy province. they say, alas and is responsible for bombing clinics and hospitals during the devastating civil war. now it's 10 here. while 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, emmanuel my call have just held their last online summit under her leadership, initial revelations, nearly

a decade ago. show that the u. s. national security agency tap the phones of several leaders with medical among them. now, a new multinational media investigation says a danish military intelligence unit supported the u. s. 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 eavesdrop on european politicians. a joint investigation by several european media outlets shows for my german chancellor candidate pastime book was one of these 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 angela michael and former

foreign minister frank 5 dash 9. maria came out in 2013 as part of whistleblower. edward snowden leaks on the essays activities what they didn't reveal because it's 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 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. the 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 were joined by our political correspondent, today's october. i can use that now. what is the reaction so far? while pavlo afterthought for a long time, there was no official reaction from the german government, but that has just changed because after meeting between chance, langler macklin, the french president him on when michael macross said that wire tapping allies was not acceptable. and that france and germany were seeking full clarity on what happened and medical agree to that. but she also added that she was relieved to hear that the danish government share this assessment. and that she doesn't think

that they would be lasting damage to the german dentist 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, though 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 the 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 of the fact that denmark is a very close ally of germany, is a fellow you country. it's even a direct neighbor. and the fact that it choose to side with the u. s. 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. d. w political correspondent, teddy's. i hope i thank you. well, that's all from us for now. coming up next. my colleague, rob, what's the business? i'm part of the ass in berlin from me and the rest of the team here take care of the. ah, we speak different languages. we fight for different things. that's fine. but we all pick up for freedom, freedom of speech, and freedom of press, giving freedom of voice, global news that matters. he w, made for mines. how does a virus spread? why do we haven't? and when will all this? just 3 of the topics that we've covered and

but progress in other areas by the creation of a common currency. for example, has been painfully slow. so to find out just what an impact molly, suspension from echo us will have on molly and the regional blog. we can now talk to correspondent in accra isaac can lead z. thank you very much for joining us now . just explain to especially what this means for molly. so this space you really westfield, that current situation, even before this springs money has tried to do a lot economically. and last year, during the fed school, molly was suspended and then functions wayne pose the where restrictions in terms of movement to and from molly. so the neighboring countries and also financial flow was also restricted. and so it hits the economy so much by even age to support farm as to be able to grow the courts in that is an important aspect of the economy did not come in. and so that was a major challenge. and then this happened this year. so that's

a spreadsheet only goes to west and situation. it gives money a bad name. and member countries in, in the blog will not be able to really deal with them. because molly will not be participating in economic activities or at the activities that are associated with echo was by the difference is that previous last year where there was an embargo and a web restrictions in terms of treat and other activities financial flow, it is not happening this time round because it wasn't still interested in a showing that molly is, is actually stable and so they can have that piece for transition to democracy next year when elections are held. you touched on it, but for the other members of echo us. what does not being able to trade with molly in the way that they have become used to mean for them? for many of them are credible close to molly and also in the region. obviously they

do a lot of trade with the continental information about the services among others. but the most important thing is that once molly has to charlene, an influx of people into other neighboring countries, because young people do not have jobs and up with more pressure embedding. on dot com trees that are, you know, i have region and that is a very major challenge for them. and also then it gets better grown too many times to operate. and then obviously that impacts on the security in the south region because that is also important. element for investments in the economy in their work, gus, off region. so my list crisis is a crisis as well for this region and also for the members of the south region. and my there's molly, go from here. can it expect a swift returned to echo us? it can, and of course i've been there that was interested in showing them molly gets back to where it ought to be quickly. and of course,

it was after the international committee to continue to support molly in terms of the need to give to them. because it's important that these things are done quickly so they can get back on track. so what it has to do now is to ensure that they are point eskoville and prime minister to take about a governance process and also went through with insurance elections i held. and i'm sure ones that is done, and there will be re admitted to, to the co op region as it can lead z and across. thank you very much for joining us . now the global economic recovery is underway, according to the latest forecast from the organization for economic cooperation and development last year and the depth of the pandemic. the global economy shrank by 3.5 percent. the bounce back this year has been pretty strong. hitting almost 6 percent on the i received a does expect us to continue this year if rather slower in 2022 this year next year

. the organization however, wants that many member countries, especially emerging economies, like argentine and south africa, will however, take longer to recover than wealthy nations. chief economist, the early cd lauren spoon explained to us why that is. what it means by knowing the recovery is delayed the nation, and i'm secret i'm talking to may pop and they are we binding sharply. but the fact is not reaching imagined market economies. we are not making enough and more. and why do we need to do more on tradition tradition on allowing back to quote bother. now let's take a look at some of the other business stories making headlines. a study by young says that the world, 16 biggest carmakers increase their sales by 35000000000 euros in the 1st quarter of the year. i've also seen higher profits. one reason is many car companies had

already just cost cutting policies afford pandemic ton of factories manufactured left in may than in april due to less demand and higher prices. the role materials analysts want to parts shortage, especially in semiconductors and new covered 19 outbreaks in going don't providence as well as in neighboring countries, have caused chinese companies to wind down production. the federal reserve has criticized deutscher bank a g for failing to address the system shortcomings and its anti money laundering controls. according to people familiar with the matter. they say the bank could even be find the lender hasn't commented on the allocation. germany is. inflation rate has risen to 2.5 percent the highest level since october 2018. it comes out, the german authorities east, some restrictions on restaurants, shops and cultural venues as karone of ours. incidence rates fell across the country. if you have a bundle bank, says inflation could rise as high 4 percent this year of more and what's behind

that? his i n g's chief economist cost breski. yeah, i think we, we read the full swing of a couple of inflation drivers right now. it starts with higher commodity prices goes on with higher producer prices just think offer higher container prices, the problem and see my conductors. and then goes on to the reopening of the economy . because we saw that the prices for services went up and prices for leisure activities also went to i'm currently prepared to see head then face numbers in germany, to go to something like between 3 and 4 percent in the 2nd half of this year. now the start of the week has brought some positive figures for turkey, lira again to percent in value during monday, and data shows the economy grew 7 percent in the 1st quarter compared to a year earlier. china is growing faster,

however many circ say they aren't seeing the benefits of the improving economic picture are bought a johan report from the resort city of antonia. most of her own by normally enjoys the view from the terrors of his hotel. but that's changed for months. he's only seen the empty cow phase and frustrated street vendors in until years old town, along with other hotel owners, were struggling just as much as he is. one of you know little consensus on a day like this. i couldn't sit and talk to you, we'd be fully booked with a lot to do. but right now, occupancies just tend to 20 percent. things continue like this. i'll go bankrupt soon. 10 hotels around here have already given up when, when i come up the in the race to win back flooring tourist this summer. turkey risks losing out while other popular destinations like rees italy and spain are

trying to log in. booking software decline and corona virus infections. turkey still remains on many travel warning lists as a high risk country. and tell us beaches are almost as deserted as when the pandemic began back then. many believed everything would get back on track in a year. but they were wrong, only a few foreigners here, most of them from ukraine and russia. they are enjoying their vacation to the fullest, which is right. so it's perfect here. the people are wonderful. the weather is great and i really like it can for which is right and it's like heaven on earth. it's warm, it's beautiful, little get stuck at home and russia to be crowded up here. they're empty. we have everything to ourselves. you go near the theater was not i've never seen so few vacation as here in turkey for the local must be a big problem. i really feel sorry for them. the whole region depends on tourism.

3.5000000 visitors came to antalya last year instead of the average 15000000. and that's why most everyone has suffered from small boutique hotels to large resorts. the turkish tourism minister is trying to paint a positive picture. he says the country's karone of ours measures are successful and that the dry spot for tourism will soon be over by somebody live in devon. we get on with the vaccination, the easier it is for us to keep infection rates slow. and that's why i think we can expect a significant increase the number of holiday makers in the 2nd half of the year. of course is still not comparable to 2019, but i think we'll have better tourism figures than last year. most of our bi would like to believe that, but so far he receives more cancellations than bookings on his phone. still, he's making sure that all of his rooms are ready for guests at any time. and he

hopes he'll still be in business when the tourists return i mean slightly better news. falling corona virus infection rates mean things are looking up for germany's travel sector, the country's flag carrier. lufthansa plans to reactivate up to 50 additional aircraft in the coming weeks because of rising demand, according to a board member booking numbers for july and august, more than 10 times higher than 4 weeks ago. during the korean of ours, pandemic, the group must board hundreds of act to time for reminder of our top stories based our west african leaders have decided to suspend molly from the regional blocking in echo west, in response to last the military coup in the country decision was made as an extraordinary meeting, took place to make on and capital a crime at a new growth forecast from the cd raises the economic outlook for most countries. but it was that the global recovery could be uneven with emerging economy. it's

likely anything years to make up a loss for me in the business team here and then in some or do you head over to our website dot com slash business. you can also find it on the social media facebook next time ticket, cuz i use the fight against the corona virus pandemic. how has the rate of infection in developing? what does the latest research say information and context? the corona virus, off the 19th special next on d. w. a football without a team. a trainee without emission
