bring them to hospitals. by now, it is confirmed that 2 people died during the protest here in khartoum. another one outside of khartoum and according to the sudanese doctors committee, they were all killed by a life ammunition. so since they're cool in october, more than 70 demonstrators were killed most of them by life, ammunition, yet the government here, the regime keeps on insisting, saying that nobody demonstrators was killed by the regime. or you touched on it, adrienne, this protest had been going on for months. is there any resolution in sight? well, it's really a difficult one. basically the military quits the relationship with the civilian side. there was a joint civilian military, ab government in the past until the cool happened that was basically the end of this relationship. now people on the streets are really angry and they're not ready for any compromise. they are saying we want an end to the military leadership and we want a civilian leadership. we want a democracy. we don't not do not want to have any compromises. on the other hand,

the military is also a difficult situation because they have a lot to lose. they have been in, in poland, his country for a long time. so one economical benefits. a lot of generals and senior military officials have been profiting from the state of school for a long time, and they have huge interests in the economy. basically, the military controls very important part of the economy. and the 2nd part is, is the justice question. if a civilian government comes in place in our many military representatives are fearing consequences because a lot of angry people here, lot of people were killed and people want to see justice. they want to see those perpetrators behind bar. so these are difficult points. the pressure on the street as up, but also the financial pressures up for the regime. here are several western countries of froze, their development age. that is more than 700000000 a u. s. dollars, stock sudan has depth of more than $70000000000.00 u. s. dollars, so the pressures up both on the streets as well. it's financially for the current regime deities admin,

. the floor, it was hosted with one of his victims a 23 year old student. later died of injuries and hospital police a it appears the attacker had poured his weapons abroad. germany's chancellor expressed shock at the events. it breaks my heart to hear this news. my thoughts are with the relatives and the victims. and of course with the students of the university of high did bag. the university is the oldest and most prestigious in germany. when you go to cape university in the city of heidelberg, so i should and will continue to be spaces where people can move without fear, be for science can prosper and where young people can prepare for life. leading food to high after months of distance learning due to the pandemic students,

he had only returned to in person classes 3 months ago. the joy of being back in lectures and seminars. no tainted by tragedy. d, w, stephanie burnett is in heidelberg at the university where the shooting took place . hi stephanie. do we know anything at this point about the possible motive of the perpetrator? the investigation is ongoing and the police have not specified what the motive is. as far as we know, it remains unclear at this point. what we do know is that the suspect is an 18 year old german man who is a student at the university of heidelberg. and he is believed to have approached this building behind me and attacked the lecture hall as class was going on. police have said that it is not. he is not believed to have been a student of that particular class though he is a student at this university. he used one gun to attack the classroom. he also had

another weapon on him. police found once they approached the suspect after he killed himself. and what we also know is that it appears that he bought the weapons from abroad shortly before carrying out this crime. so these are some of the major questions that authorities will be looking into, which is how did he get access to gun? and what is the motive? and we mentioned one person has been killed several others wounded. what can you tell us about the victims? not much information is coming out about the victims. what we do know is that one female student at the age of 23 was killed and 3 others were wounded. but so far we do not know any more details about those who are currently wounded. at the moment. d w says stephanie burnett reporting there on the very latest from heidelberg.

thank you for that update. stephanie now, shutting the schools down is always going to make learning more difficult. but new research suggests that the pandemic has had an even worse impact on education than previously thought. at its peak 1600000000 that children and young people were affected by classroom closures. and what that means is, 500 milli of them had no access to the tools necessary for remote learning. and the warning is that as many as 70 percent of children and low and middle income countries may not be able to read and understand a simple passage of text by the time that they are 10 years old. as the following report shows were more remote learning is also affecting children's mental health. it's a school day afternoon, and this is how tenured old john, the costa spends time with her friends. that do years ago when schools 1st shot

their doors allows me to introduce canada to this multiplayer universe. and she's been hooked ever since in 5th grade. now, java has spent only 10 days in a classroom since the pandemic hit. she says she misses school and seeing her friends every day, but may also be getting far too used to the online world and their own language, israel attacking and me. it was i like fingers to like type now and yet it all came read. i forget words like i went to he couldn't speak, says like a little not like the scene. and you just as mother who just saying has also noticed this. like one time when some friends of kiara visiting during a lull between the corner by to me. i just walked into the room to see what they were. so about 3 of them are sitting and playing with each other on 3 different devices. so in the same room, they were doing

a multiplayer game with each other on devices, but not really talking to each other. we feel that even have given a chance when there were those open videos way she could step out. she would rather, you know, stay home and talk to them to sing. why do you this lack of face to face communication with her girlfriends is affecting out of behavior. i think she goes through moods of extreme sadness or angle the high proportion of screen time. the lack of school routine and exercise are also impacting her daughter asleep. but got, i mean, not to go to school anytime soon. as authorities in india trouble to find the right strategy to keep schools open. there were times when cases dipped and some schools did partially open. but now with the country facing a fresh surge driven by omicron schools have again been closed indefinitely. docked arm at then. a child psychiatrist finds that this repeated closing and reopening of schools during the pandemic is digging that all on the children, creating

a sense of insecurity in them. he feels it good in the long run, lead to post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression. i don't think there any more certain as to how the world will treat them anymore. other teachers are friends with them anymore. and that big down of trust and certainty about the world around them and lice can then begin to play later. it can also scar them in no manner that they find it's very hard to develop meaningful relationships and trust people. jobs are still hoping to return to school soon. she'd like more freedom and fewer restrictions on the school campus to actually see her teachers and friends. again. she says, would be a nice greek from the screen. let's get some more perspective on the story now. we can speak to robert jenkins is the director of education and adolescent development at the u. n. childrens organizations. unicef,

thanks very much for joining us here. and d, w, we just saw an example there of how children's educational needs have been disrupted by cove it and the psychological impact of that. and you've actually said that the global deficit is nearly insurmountable. that's not particularly hopeful, is it? well indeed it is very challenging time for children all over the world just have to have kind of flag. we have 600000000 students that are still affected globally by either partial or full school closure. so the disruption on schooling is by no means over, and indeed it is a very worrying situation. you've actually identified learning losses not just in low and middle income countries that also in prosperous countries and develop world . does that mean that the overall strategy in countries around the world essentially for education during the pandemic was wrong? i don't think it's the show that it's wrong, but indeed we need to take some lessons for it and how it corporate those at

schools reopen as children return on to their learning journey. indeed, more and more evidence is coming from around the world. high income countries, low income countries of the impact that school closures have had on children, including a learning loss, but as the, as your, your video clip had mentioned beforehand also on other needs of children psychologically needs mental health, your traditional health, et cetera. so it's absolutely critical that schools reopen children, return to school, and i receive this full support to in order for them to be successful back in school and, and they enable them to catch up on their learning and return to their learning journey. maybe we can get into that a little further. you mentioned mental physical health, for example. i mean, what are some of the most worrying consequences if you will, of pandemic induced education deficits? so as per year, your previous video clip, we see increasing levels of anxiety and psycho social support needs, etc. but also

a sense of protection. we've seen increases and gender be violence in many parts of the world. we seen early pregnancy as an early marriage and other parts of the world. we seen a boys entering the labor market earlier. so indeed, very, really a real challenges. so what's critical now is schools to reopen. children received the support to enable them to return back, particularly marginalized children. and as they walked back into the classroom, be provided that support for them to, for them to be successful. that would be ideal, of course, that what is needed for that to happen to remedy some of these deficits. so one is we need to understand which children will struggle to return and require more support. and that depends on each community, each school system, each country to be laser focused on understanding who have been marginalized, who has struggled during this pandemic, particularly, and be committed to bridging them back into schooling. that as they come back into

schooling, catch them where they are in their learning to understand the levels of learning they have those that can read and write those that need more support to learn how to read and write, even though they may be at the same ages and an able catch up classes, so that's on the learning side. but also as i mentioned, the children need full support that schools can provide. many of them have missed midday meals and need nutritional support. water and sanitation, health support. so as children come back, they can enable them to catch up their learning, but also receive all the support that schools can provide. we've also learned the importance of engaging with teachers and supporting teachers during this reopening process, the entire school system, school administrators, etc. lastly, let me just also flag, we've learned a lot about the importance of engaging with parents themselves, providing information, understanding their concerns, and considering them best key partners. an important message there on international

education day from robert jenkins unit. that chief of education. thanks very much. thanks for having retired. former pope benedict a 16 test admitted that he made a false statement during the investigation into sexual abuse in the german catholic church. benedict had previously said he did not attend the meeting in 1980, at which the transfer of a pedophile priest to his diocese was discussed. the former pope says he made the full statement due to what he now calls an editing oversight. a report belief last week from the benedict. with then cardinal joseph, rushing or knowingly, failed to act again for priests accused of child sex abuse in the 1980. meanwhile, here in germany, a 125 church employees including priests, have come out as l g, b t q. and are calling for reform in a statement, the group called for an end to the discrimination and exclusion. they had experience in the church and free access to all pastoral vocations. the issue of

homosexuality is caused a major rift in the catholic church between modernization and conservatives. the german bishop conference has welcomed the initiative. we can speak now to kiana battalion. she is a member of the initiative out in church, that's an organization representing l g b t. 2 people working in the church. he had a good to have you on d w. can you tell us more about what was behind this decision to organize this very public coming out? yes, most of us have had many experiences of discrimination and exclusion also in the church. and the church teaching authority claims that we are incapable of correct relationships to other people and that we fail to be fully human because of our object of the disorder tendencies. and that same sex relationships cannot be recognized as object of the art it to the reveal plans of god. so you see our

movement is about human rights. we simply ones to be respected and to be part of the church without facing discrimination. and we do this also in solidarity with her l g b, t i q plus person there. roman catholic church who do not or do not yet or no longer have the strength of this. and you've also published a list of demands to the church. what's the most important demand? yes, we want to be able to live and work openly as a g, b t i q person in the church without fear. we want to have access to all fields of activity and occupation of the church without facing discrimination. and the church and payment rules has to be changed in life, according to one's sexual orientation. and gender identity must never be considered a breach of loyalty or a reason for dismissal. and because of the fact that in dealing with the i q

person, the church has caused much top rated throughout the history, we expect also the bishop to take responsibility for this on behalf of the church to act advocate also for the changes we call for carry you said yourself that the church essentially says that people and same sex relationships fail to be fully human. do you think that the church will actually be receptive to these demands that your organization is made? i can tell you that i hope so. we are 125 people and we are strong. the church can't ignore us anymore. for sure. change won't come quickly. but this is the beginning and i think change can only happen with education and people are empowered, taking responsibility. and can i ask if you are what this moment the big public coming out means to you personally and to the members of this organization?

yeah, it's a huge step and i am thinking about leaving also sometimes, but that we're all coming together and that we are standing together and i get a lot of positive messages. yeah. and that makes me strong in this moment. i don't fear and thing right now. and last question, what is then the next step for these demands and for your organization? yes, i'm motivated to fight because the church has still a huge influence on the german society. the church is still a big employer and christian education is taught in school so that children who grow up in the church that maybe one day and like me to cover their own sexual orientation. and i don't want to live in a world where christian children and teenagers think about themselves that they are not normal. and so i want to continue my activism and i want for

the kids to grow up in this condition that they feel loved and accepted as they are . kara talia, thank you so much for joining us here on the w. thank you. get a reminder now of our top stories, the leaders of a military coup and burkina faso will say they are in control of the country after hours thing the government, suspending the constitution and closing the borders. the statement comes after days of unrest including street demonstrations and gun battles around the presidential palace. and one person has been killed and several others wounded in a shooting at heidelberg university. in southwestern, germany, police say the assailant was an 18 year old german man with no previous criminal record. you open fire inside a lecture hall before turning to god himself. i'll have more news in depth next on the day stayed here with
