countries address global challenges such as cybersecurity, the climate crisis, and the clone of virus pandemic together. but the big announcement came after the talks, when the us president said his country would donate 500000000 pfizer vaccine doses to lower income countries and the african union. our values call us to do everything that we can to vaccinate the world against coven 19. it's also in america self interest. as long as the virus rages elsewhere, there is a risk of new mutations that could threaten our people. we know that raising over 900 and other countries hold back, global growth raises in stability and weekends, governments, but activists protesting the global inequality of vaccine access. believe that waving pharmaceutical patterns would be a more effective than charity. nowhere near reaching the go button,

aging trends person really be in the bins of axis in these countries. pharmaceutical companies own things in the pages for just enough for everyone. and that's why we're asking for the manufacturer to be global. like opening up the patrons and the rest of these sort of more qualified factors can produce the i said, with a key 7 leaders arriving. all eyes will be on the leaders of the world's wealthiest nations. to see how serious they are about helping the rest of the world. get a grip on the panoramic. i'm not joined correspondent, like some of a non she's in cobb and bay where the g 7 is taking place. alexander more more leaders are roger. we just saw german chancellor naco just landed, this will be her last g 7 summit. the last of of many. what kind of role is she

playing today? i'm going to america is known for her negotiating skills for her pragmatism for her no nonsense attitude. i remember covering her 1st summits with donald trump in 2017, where she was trying for hours to convince him not to withdraw from the paris climate agreement. he did it anyway, and her response was then, well, we need to move on without him. so that way of dealing with the challenges, and i think we are not going to see you at different angles marco, here it is a special summit. it is her last summit. but when i ask about that, her spokesperson told reporters that, as we summit is especially so nothing, not the big deal. however, we also know that the french president in manuel macro is going to miss her. he

told reporters that for him it will be an emotional experience to, to have this last summer with alumni cool. apart from the personal things go home between the lead is what issues are expected to dominate this gathering front and center of this meeting is of course the corona virus pandemic, and then need to provide enough the scenes for the low and middle income countries, british prime minister boris johnson is calling on calling on his colleague to make a commitment to the exit aid the whole world by the end of 2022. other issues on the agenda. climate change, the economy, recovery and relations with china. do we expect you mentioned climate change? do we expect any major commitments, any major new steps forward in that direction? well, i think that the leaders know what's at stake here. according to a new study,

the g 7 nations are at risk at losing 8 percent of their g d p. each year. if they're not going to tackle climate change, the new biden administration is promising tangible action on climate during this g 7 summit. and for the european union, this is one of the main goals to have concrete results. but of course, we have to see whether that's possible you certain members, you know, they, they used to be thought of as the world leading industrialized nations. now that describes a club of wealthy liberal democracies that leads russia and china out g 7 becoming more ideological. you think? well, i think that the g 7, they have been facing criticism for years and now i covered g 7. some it's with the

former us prisons and donald trump at this time you thought, well, the g 7 day are in real trouble in terms of unity and importance. and now there is this notion that it's important to extend the formats to invite more democracy to be able to face their current challenges. so that's what is happening here. a bit. countries such as india and south korea. well, you are invited to participate as guests because there is apparently the understanding you need them to, to faith and the challenges and to have joined decisions. for example, how to counter china's increasingly aggressive behavior d w. so they sound the phenomenon there. thank you. so colbert 19 clearly dominating the agenda that the g 7 summit. but what exactly is the situation right now around the world? well, let's have a closer look at this. not here shows there it is. shows the average number of

daily new corona virus cases per 1000000 people for the past week. the highest case lowes in latin america hotspots can also be found in mongolia and parts of europe and a southern african limited testing and reporting in some countries means actual case loads could be higher. but there are a huge discrepancies when it comes to the rollout of cove. it 19 vaccine on this map, the dock of a color, the greater the share of the population that has received at least one vaccine dose . countries like canada, israel chile, and the u. k. are leading the way, but if you look at africa, most of that, less than one percent of the population has been vaccinated. many developing countries, especially in africa, are still waiting for vaccines promised by the kovacs international donation program. meanwhile, china gave 200000 doses to chat this month,

the 1st vaccine to reach the country where officials are trying to fight the band army with very limited testing and treatment capacity, west africa correspondence treadmill for new revolts from the capital of chance. jemina i to asks chad, has we put against the pandemic scene of the scene for at least 100000 people? not much for a population of 16 median, but it something this is the country's men testing facility in the only proper hospital. they have been fighting the crone of us almost rind. last turned to be the 1900 situation, was katie, at the beginning phase upper. we tested patients who can be told and some of them tested positive. some of the health workers and other patients died of course, 19 percent. this official figure show this done 5 solved on eviction,

and fewer than 200 cope with 900. that the numbers almost sutton, a higher testing and health care infrastructure is so poor dot creek infrastructure and putting tickets to be, to charge me at the bottom of the need for international, but feel help until last week, when the coffee, the 1900 task force called sub ties from china cohen that there, you know, fun when we received enough, i'm but since it was really great joy for us please, you will receive a center called way because peter games going to make i'd patients with pre existing conditions. our priority officials know the chinese donation can only be the fast tape these fringes ready for vaccines the year to come

under the covert program if you will get those is that will need at least 20 percent of the population of chad van percent. lot of us are on a few come for my scenes. many i skeptical its origin more if we had the means to get other fi records. but if we don't have the means, and this kind of works, and we'll just because it's a chinese vaccine, doesn't mean that the scene of the scene doesn't yet have a repeating or un approval. but the world health organization says it's up to 79 percent protection in charge. people i used to taking what they can get by that scare you from africa and from india, i'm not joined by a correspondence the mission as well in delhi. and it is kimani and ruby. it is.

let's start with you in many african countries. extremely few people have received even one vaccine. those is destination pledge from ridge countries, the right approach to tackle the problem well, it suddenly a good 1st step and at least this is what the health minister for motor cargo. he said when he spoke to d. w earlier today he said that it will help african countries get back into the economic space. but as to how far reaching this will be, i don't think it's going to go so far. we're talking about a population of one, b and people and only 2 percent have been inoculated. so what happens to the rest of the 98 percent, even if the vaccine come into africa, it's only going to be until the end of the year until re including myself, get these doses. let me say india has been one of the countries worst affected by the panoramic. can this vaccine also make a real difference where you are when a guy had given the shortage and he moved back fees can make

a difference. but the question really is how much of a difference can we make been to government set out in our bishop target of vaccinating the dia? i dont population by the end of the year, which means that the require $2000000000.00 and local approved manufacturers are now likely to me to target the vaccine can head some of the gaps but not the gap. in addition, that can be the new concerns about back in like the by the end of acting dr. logistical storage condition would be dependent on india. it's also have to be taken into consideration considerations in africa would expect from obvious humanitarian consideration. why should the world make sure that the vaccination across africa speeds up and very quickly? because i probably will vaccination and indeed cove it in africa or any other parts

of the world is a problem of cove. it for the rest of the world get had, we are in this boat together and the western world can sit back and say, oh africa, half of the boat is thinking that simply doesn't work. but at the moment it does feel that way. i mean, when you consider the populations in the america or the u. k, have 40 to 50 percent of the people vaccinated and we're talking about less than one potential subsaharan africa. you start to see why african government a thing that we need measures to correct this 1st by boosting production and manufacturing of vaccines and also ramping up the distribution efforts that are currently underway in it's just a month ago. india was breaking recalls with new cases and that's now deli, is opening up again. where do things stand in general with a vaccination in india? i think definitely improving and i get hard, but even then over 90000 cubes every day for the need to keep people got that

which may be why the last we have what so massive and the government is and since i have expanded back the drive being crucial and fighting off at currently. but then we look at the live local manufacturer of the after benefit vaccine. and indian maxine are trying to wrap up production be have from the small box in the month. but again, it's been not enough to cover the entire population my day, not by the end up being compared to the big can. i'll order to book an apport. eventually we meet the market specially w correspondence as well in delhi and it is kimani nairobi. thank you. both by hand, germany and people are surveyed every month about the things that matter. most of them not surprising a covert 19 vaccine roller is among their main concerns. a strong majority, 71 percent, say they feel at least they are being fairly treated when it comes to receiving

a vaccine just over half think the ending, the vaccination priority system for different groups was a good thing. one contested issue though is whether or not children over the age of 12 should be vaccinated soon. 43 percent say they're in favor. a slight majority, though is against it. although the correspond jerry reed has been digesting this survey in our parliamentary studio. jared based shows people here in germany are now satisfied with the vaccine roll up. but that was not the case a couple of months ago. what changed their mind? well, i guess one of the factors is how the vaccine role that has really been speeding up in recent weeks and months. we're at this stage now where almost half of the population has received at least one vaccine dose and nearly a quarter fully vaccinated with 2 doses. so that is really good news. the

government here also opened up vaccines to all adults ending its prioritization system early. this week, so within the next few months by september, it once every person who's eligible to be able to have been offered a vaccine by september. so that's, that's on one side. on the other side is really the good state of play when it comes to infections. they have been steadily declining over recent weeks. today it's 18.6 new infections per 100000 people per week. this is excellent when you really can see that just a few weeks and months ago how serious the situation was here in the hospitals. in germany, i went out to ask some people what they thought about how things were here in germany. here's what they had to say. i've always been off as i was last week. i feel really, really, i think we all feel the same way. life is slowly returning to normal. again, i will, maybe that's a moment to work. i knew some of my friends have gotten the jap already and it's

a great relief. my parents always go to vaccinated. it took a load off my mind. i think vaccinations being much better as well as a pretty bad stuff. i think in the but now i think it's going great. so you know, i think generally a good direction for a positive reactions that but there's also been a warning and also to get complacent. that's right. yeah. that came from none of that. then angular market yesterday she sit in a news conference at the corona, virus has not gone away and she highlighted this mutation called the delta vary and that's widespread in britain. and she said basically, if, if authorities removed all restrictions, then it was very possible mutations like this would spread in the population. again, what we have heard also from verola, just particularly one kristian to boston. he is saying that wearing a transition phase right now in germany,

where the pan demik by winter will become an epidemic where it's likely we're going to need booster shots every year to, to combat covey 19. so his main message is that we're going to have to deal with these fires for quite some time. yes. could i be, of course, on a job, read that. thank you janet. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines. mir miles, military half open, new corruption cases against outside liter santucci. they charge us include misusing land and accepting grimes, which is lawyers say the accusations are quote absurd, the on time to in february the. 2 vote counting was wrapped up in peruse presidential election, but authorities have not declared when they say the races we left to federal kasteel. i'm conservative school for she. murray is too close to call him right claims, their voting irregularities independent of the dispute. this supporters

of israel's foreign minister benjamin netanyahu have demonstrated outside parliament in the now they are opposing a possible governing coalition that could end his 12 years in power. parliament is to vote on the correlation which was negotiated between right and left when parties united nations and 8 groups warning that 350000 people. and if he walked on to the right region, facing famine conditions, the un also says millions more in urgent need of food. the if the opium government disputes this assessment, the don luez should be an active 14 year old. but he struggled to breathe per month, a don and his uncle lived in a cave hiding from the war raging around their home in take ry. but without enough food, they were still in danger. by much done had grown so weak,

his uncle brought him to the hospital. the mob needed to be very strong. as strong as a lion. he was hoping to grow up and have a good life. but hunger has left him where he is now. the son of don is an early warning of what the u. n. is now calling a catastrophic food shortage. and it is expected to get was very, very worried that there are indications that we have the worst phase phase 5, affecting 353000 people in te gray. and those numbers expect to derive beyond 400000 over the next few months. if we don't get the access that we need to reach, reach those areas. the while the fighting has eased, some parts of key cry remain cut off. mass displacement across the region has left

more than a 1000000 home lists and hungry. without more age, these humanitarian crisis can only get worse. hidden from the rest of the world. to soccer now enough, in a year long delay because of the pandemic, they postponed euro 2020. it's fun to kicking off. the tournaments starts tonight in rome, italy on turkey the 1st time and it's history event will be taking place across europe. but even with each of the 11 host cities, clear to fans in the stadium and concerns of whether the tournament can be health safely. during the panoramic that's find out from chris harris with the w sports who's with me now, chris friends will be in smaller numbers will be allowed into the stadiums. it's gotta be a step in the right direction. definitely scare hard, you know, the phase represent that 12 man on the pitch. did you happen to watch

a football game that didn't have fans or the audio you know, been paying for you hear the players talk to each other. i mean, you really miss that reaction that we got and sprinkles leading up to this major tournament, we thought, you know, the chip is the final thoughts and bands and so forth. you know, i think along with the enhance safety protocols is exactly what the sports been missing. you know, you talked about the band culture, specifically here in germany. $14000.00 plus fans will be allowed in music when they kick off june 15th and ty hobbits, one player has already said we live for the. so the 14000, but it'll sound like 80000. you know, i think the players have, have clinched for this for quite some time. and, and i think the fans, you know, are getting a bit of relief because this is definitely a step of the right direction. so you just mentioned $14000.00 in, in munich, that means that tens of thousands, i'm missing out on the whole thing. so what, what do fans say is that, is this, do they see it as a step in the right direction or the other just angry that nobody can get in?

well, definitely not all sunshine and rainbows. when it comes to the fans, you have extended waiting periods across the board. there's only a 30 minute window for parents to get in. and that means fans could be sitting around for 3 hours before kicked off, if and choose to follow their teams to different venues. there are several locations across europe, there could be quarantined dealing with that. you know, great britain, if you're a fan from great britain, just for an example. if you decide to go to russia, you'll have to deal with the 14 day a quarantine. so then you'll miss alice of action speaking and missing out. it's been a tough break for some fans who have lost out on their investment already. here's one we can listen to right now. i'm one person that bought tickets for the year. also, i actually had tickets for, for like germany against like france, i guess. and i got an email like last week saying, i cannot tell the, the games. i'm sad. i mean, i was really hoping forward to it, but so going to work. so because for that you go tonight, wrong study,

olympic, we have fans presence for the open between italy and talk to you. right? right. yeah. after 16000 fans. they've already started preparing the fans. so, you know, in some fancy spoken on the ground about what it means, you know, even the ones that are so involved in football, it's a leisure activity and opportunity to, you know, relieve some of that build up. you haven't been able to go out doors for so long now in terms of the match up the action or the pitch. both sides have been dealing with renaissance lately, both italy and turkey. i expect it to be a highly competitive, fair, very close finish. lean towards italy because they are the home side is they'll have the fans sharing the more very quickly who's going to linear, who's going to win the euro. i'm, i'm in germany quickly. case a long shot. i'll say germany, thank you. thank you, president to the w sports. and before we go, has a quick reminder of our top story at the g 7 summit in comb or well lee. this will pledge to provide 1000000000 doses of covert 900 vaccine to 4 countries. the move

aims to address criticism that wealthy nations as secure at the vast majority of axis against her own a virus for their own populations. with the news alive from berlin, stay tuned for to the point catholic church power and abuse of them from the new st. gabrielle says invalid, thanks for watching. the news. the news. news. news

. news. the news the me to the point. strong opinion, clear position, international perspective. one of the most international respect he figures in germany's catholic church was offered his resignation to pope francis. he cited the catastrophe of sexual abuse by church officials. meanwhile,

a candidate mass graves, the vintage, and his children to discover the catholic school to the point. the next dw, be your own health advocate. in good shape to take the new look to provide even more insight into matters of help cleverly active oh, the young immigrants they know the police were stopped. they knew that the route is not

a solution. they know their flight could be fatal. going back. not an option. peace month. i'm on, and gravity or stuck in the spanish border area, alongside other young people there waiting for a chance that will probably never come. shattered dreams starts june 18th on d. w. hello and today we're talking about the catholic church and the abuse of power. this after the highly influential cardinal ryan house mugs offered his resignation to pope francis, citing the catastrophe of sexual abuse by church officials, meanwhile, shop and grief in canada after mass graves of indigenous children are discovered as a former catholic rung school. on to the point we ask catholic church power and

abusive power? the news? oh, thanks very much indeed for joining us here on to the point where my guests in the studio are on a job as a professional musician and church activist who says instead of a structural reform, we need to re focus on the actual aim of the christian faith, which said, is eternal life. also with us is max cap, a, b anchor, a dominican priest, and for many years church journalist, he believes that the church should not be afraid of change and warm welcome to to mathias catch from the abuse survivors. organization tish, who wants that it's high time before the church to really listen to the voices of

the victims. interesting stuff so much to talk about. thank you all 3 for being with me today. and i'd like to begin with you, father max and the letter of resignation from cardinal remarks to pope francis. it was fascinating that he used the language that he said a dead end had been reached in the catholic church in germany. what do you think he meant there? i, when i heard about it, i was shocked by the wording because that and harsh. it's really, that's also very encouraging. and i was wondering what, what led him to use these words and he didn't explain. it's more what do you guess? my personal opinion is you know, in germany the catholic church started the reform process some years ago called sooner that of aches little path. exactly. and. and they are discussing 2 different

issues like power use of power or the role of women in the church. how priest should live and, and the discussions come often to a point where then it says, oh, it's not possible because the charge, so it doesn't allow the church doesn't allow it, or the mexican will never allowed it. and if we talk in this way, we can never change anything. and, and so it kind of frustration also in the people is growing and maybe also in the cardinal. and i think that this is meant by that end. and of course mathias catch, the, the pope has rejected the offered resignation. what do you read into that? how do you, what's your understanding of what that tells us? but 1st of all, the language used by mike's in his statement was very surprising because for the

very 1st time, a bishop in germany used the word i in combination with responsibility, the abuse crisis. the fact that the pope rejected it, i think, will complicate issues because the high respect we as so bible head for this step of mikes to step down. now we will focus on his role in the past and the diagnosis of trio and munich. because he also was part of the system and i'm pretty sure we will learn about his failures and arrows in the past . and maybe he will have to repeat his resignation to the pope after the learn more about the investigation. and i know i'd like to ask you to you from an initial, an initiative called maria, 1.0. what?

tell us a little bit about what your organization is all about and how you read the current situation with this dramatic development surrounding cardinal marks. well actually and 1.0 developed as a response to my, the 2nd push and 2.0. and we think that the mother of god doesn't, doesn't need an acquisition. she doesn't need a number, it's mary and the church, if the church and of course we, we like development. we are not against development. we are not against reform. actually it's exactly the opposite. we think that reform is very, very important. but we think that the source of it must be a little renewal. and you mentioned maria to point 0 into their goals as i understand it's called rights for women, especially including legit detergent call rights what's. what's the problem?

what's surgical right? every believer has to lead surgical rights to, to celebrate the liturgy, to be part of it. and to take part in this divine worship and then we are all equal. so this'll idea of equality, meaning men and women do exactly the like the same things. i think this is a very simplifying idea, which doesn't it doesn't take into account what the church actually is. it's not about equality. it's about having eternal life in jesus and living with jesus. and i are, the women are not less cold. my, my vocation isn't less. yeah, it doesn't mean less mrs. cause her be interested to hear what you have to say. but unfortunately the church is over all the power structure. you have

a hierarchy, you have a highly hierarchical structure of paula and abuse of paula and every sexual abuse which occurred thousands and thousands of times not only in germany, but all over the world. by catholic priests and clerics were also a power abuse. so when we talk about the church and the structure of the church and the responsibility of the bishops and the pope and the cardinals, then we need to talk about the power structure. i don't want to talk about church reform. this is something the church, the believers have to discuss. i can say i was a catholic and i was abused because i was catholic. but my interest is the situation of the survivors of the victims.

and i want to make sure as member of the civil society that this cannot repeat in the future. okay, let's just get one answer from and on that because i think i wonder how much, how dismaying you find it, that the church that you are a member of and is such an important pillar of your, of your own personal life that has led so many people down over such a long period of time. it's horrible. it's simply horrible. and i think i do not disagree with you. i think we all agree that this is terrible, that we need to be clear about it and the truth should be in the center of investigation. but i think that the interesting thing is that in germany we are talking a lot about power. now actually if we listen to what the church actually teaches about power, we learn that according to what jesus wants from us. he wants that power actually consists in service and is serving people. and if the people who commit that abuse

would have fee, that the actual things jesus preaches and the church preaches, they acted against the church. they didn't act with the church or with the church ideas. they acted grossly against it. and so what i'm missing in this discussion is to take the perspective jesus took he he, he changed the system of power because he was crucified. so now power is not ruling. ok. ok boy, good point. well taken, let's just go back to 1st of all, the cardinal marks he is is we have seen one of the leading figures in germany's catholic church, household labor. indeed, let's find out a little bit more about the man and his his mission. and then we'll talk about the, the pope's reaction to it all. cardinal behind hallmarks is seen as a modern either in the catholic church. he wants more acumen ism, but above all, he wants a thorough clarification of the abuse scandal. mark has heard the victims and

regrets that he himself did not do enough to protect them. according to a study catholic, clergy and germany have sexually abused at least $3677.00 children since the end of world war 2. the number of unrecorded cases is likely much higher, but clarification has been slow. marks believes the church is at a dead spot and that there need to be consequences. about recognizing on the one hand, the failure of individual official. i'm also responsibility for the institution itself, whose job is that only the bishop can do it for the past, for the time before me as well over the side for me and the archbishop's offer to resign. just the wrong person have to go. so cardinal marks offered to resign. that route. that offer has been rejected as we have to understand it by

the pope. now, what does that, what does that mean? because i think many people had pin the hopes on cardinal boxes. perhaps a man for the future of the church for galvanizing the future of the church. we don't know what the pope left to his decision but me. i personally think that he would have accepted the nation if he thinks that he has no moral authority any more to lead his diocese. and by not accepting it, he says, okay, lead your flock. take your responsibility in this way by thing in your job. and i personally enforce my wish that the pope would not accept a resignation. and, and i hope he will go on this way to, to learn how to deal with these problems because he really developed himself. if he

said he's now saying things 3 years ago, he was not able even to think about. for example, for example, one thing he was asked 3 years ago did any push or think about present to resign? after all happened and she said no. but he said it in the way, know how day you to ask me. and now he said, oh, this worked, it was inside him and she was really concerned by the fact that we should think about these things. and, and that shows that he realizes that there is a deeper ability of the bishop's. anna is, sir, is cardinal marks, the a man that you can identify with in terms of taking the church forward into the future. for me, this is a complicated question. well, i'm not in the seas of munich, so he's not but yes, i think that of course,

every bishop can lead the church forward. i think it's the question of how they take responsibility. and i actually was disappointed quite confusion to your use your sounding just a little bit as a so you very cautious about going there. do you believe that the church can be it? is the church willing to learn? is the church willing to become a listening organization? because so many people say it's so far hasn't been a listening organization. i think i am not a victim survivor of any abuse. i'm not the person to ask there. i do not know if the church is listening to those people. i have the impression that she is listening more and more, but i do not know if this is the truth. this is what i perceive it's and also a well, the church is not an organization that is a personal, it's strictly personal. we always have to deal with persons with all their

abilities and talents, but also with the lack of perspective, we are all week person. so i think it simply depends on the bishop. and i think that it was very disappointing that he offered his resignation instead of leading the flock through this difficult time. and also we do not have the reports from trivia, nor from munich so well should wait until the if we have those reports so that he can really take the responsibility he ought to. while we have reclaims from survivors from trio and also from unique. and we know that he handled cases of child sexual abuse by priest in the past to what extent we will learn when the report comes out. but i think the, the difference i see here is i look at the church as an organization and from an

organizational point of view, i think the debt and is the intention of the church to deal with the crisis by itself. especially here in germany to investigate, to clarify things by itself, and rejecting and external investigation like we had this by royal commissions, in australia, as an example. and this has come to under that added. because we have more than one year now the discussion in cologne. and the cardinal there is defending himself and his actions with one and another. and another book, a study by law. yes, he hired to defend himself. and this is not the way how this crisis can be clarified and investigated. and it should be investigated from outside. but the studies were not internal and it was 2 studies,

2 studies actually clear to me of personal guilt, at least. yeah, but i mean, on the lawyers look.
