italy has experienced the fastest and most extreme decline in fertility ever recorded. [man] italy will be the first country in the world in which the number of people aged 60 and over will become greater than people aged 20 and less, so the first country in the history of mankind in which we have this crossing over with people aged 60 and over which is increasing and people less than 20 who... um, who are decreasing. fertility rates have dropped throughout europe, but in southern europe, the rates are lowest, with italy averaging 1.3 children per woman. low birth rates are brought about by a combination of factors. some are common to many countries, and this program will look at how italy in particular has been affected by these. we'll also look at some factors that are specific to the very low fertility rates in italy. probably the most significant factor that has influenced fertility rates in europe has been industrialization. industrialization has brought more people into urban areas and encouraged more materialistic life styles. in northern european countries, this

we don't do a lot of fertilizing. if there is really bad soil conditions then we might amend the soil. >> do people need to fertilize their trees. >> typically they don't if you are planting in your own yard, and if they have some products that are root stim lay tors, there are fungi that will help your roots adapt. you can scatter it around the roots and water it in. and it helps those roots to develop and get adapted. but generally most trees don't need a lot of fertilization if your soil conditions are very bad, you might want to amend the soil, i always like to do organic soil. we work with a variety of nurseries in the area. so there's not just one. we have some nurseries where we get a lot of the same species that ke with count on them. sometimes we have to go a little bit further up field. there are a few nurseries that they are not based in the city. they are based in the nearby areas where there is more land. and they have to be acity-approved vendor. so we are restricted -- a lot of times is having that pape

it's very good in terms of decreasing fertility. but it is not enough. fertility should be 2.1. >> reporter: 2.1, that's replacement rate, is that right? >> yes, that's right. >> reporter: even after that success, the population isn't expected to level off until it reaches some 350 million. and there's one other big question about how much of a role gandarusa will play in lowering that fertility rate: whether or not it gets the approval of islamic religious leaders. some fundamentalist groups are opposed to any form of birth control. but dr. sugiri says, most mainstream imams approve of family planning methods if they are not permanent and do not harm the body. he is optimistic gandarusa will be available in indonesian stores as early as next year. he's less confident the drug will be sold in the united states any time soon, since strict food and drug regulations would require years of additional testing. >> ifill: tomorrow, ray's final report from indonesia examines the connection between rising food prices and malnutrition. >> brown: finally tonight: a

police say he used the location as a cover to buy fertilizer as the bombs and he ordered more than six tons of fertilizer and they say it's critical in determining if there's another bomb that has not been discovered. >> the fertilizer that we think he bought and the amount we think was used and what is left on the farm. so this is, this is also something that the investigation must answer. >> right now, police say those numbers don't add up. and they say they are not completely sure if norway is safe from another bombing. >>> well the state department has issued a travel warning to americans saying al-qaeda and other groups are planning attacks against u.s. interests around the world. the state department says the death of osama bin laden has raised the risk of anti- american violence worldwide. the warning says the attacks may be in the form of suicide bombings, assassinations, kidnappings or even hijackings. >>> right now, it is 4:37. a complete look at traffic right now. hi. >> good morning, pam. most of the roadways are doing well out there. one of the things to remind you about,

apparently, the farm was key to his being able to purchase fertilizer used in that very intensive bomb. the suspect was also said to be cooperating with police, which is an important thing. after the island massacre hope is fading that any survivors will be found. there were more than 500 youths at the camp. a camp for the labor party of the a political party here. there are still a handful officially listed as missing. survivors of that massacre described the experience as a nightmare.

we also know that breivek amassed six tons of fertilizer, according to his manifesto. the police are suggesting to us that there is a certain amount of that fertilizer which is not accounted for in the explosives found on the island or the bomb here in oslo. they say it is possible that that missing amount of fertilizer could be enough to produce a bomb. so definitely a very, very significant part of their investigation. now, breivek's lawyer yesterday gave some insight into his client's mental state saying this whole case does suggest that he is insane, that breivek himself was surprised that he was able to get away with as much as he did on the island, that police hadn't stopped him any earlier, and he was taking some sort of drug before his attack to sort of keep him steady during that horrific massacre. and as you can see behind me, as lowans, norwegians continue to lay flowers for those who lost their lives. >> cnn's diana magnay reporting. that's an update here on cnn.
