it is beside the ality that these very disturbing images have now become a reality. but children we were looking at more than 12000000 children who are living every day just because of the of human and their systems. if human tacit this is scott, they cannot meet the basic needs of eating of going to school or into hospitals. while at the same time, they are seeing their school is being bombed, their hospitals attacked even the internet was cut out or in the last $44.00 days. since friday, him and children are living, growing, learning in this environment. what it means to be a chart. and it is a sad gotta do that, that has become, i gotta think, what should been human today for more than 7 years now. is hunger being weaponized in this conflict? hunger has become a real, real issue in human when, when the populations cannot even access the basic basic material they need for their own survivor. and it is definitely then their hunger is being used against them. whether whether this is unintentional on intention. and this is why precisely why we keep calling on part of the conflict to make sure that the population are able to access what they need for the library. otherwise, it does tantamount to to be used as a weapon. if children can find enough to eat, that is on all of us and today and human, sir, you're part of the 8 organization, said the children, what obstacles does your organization face when trying to help him anything need. sadly, and sadly, the obstacles are just too many to comes. we, it will finding it increasingly difficult to get supplies into the country because of closures of airports unfolds and bureaucratic restrictions that off which of us every day we have a warming, ongoing conflict that stops us from axis. and people who, who need help. and today these are getting very, very difficult for us to deliver, that it doesn't stop us from working. but at the same time it's, it begs us to ask the question, how much for effort that we are and i was and just to be able to access civilians could have been more helpful for them if we had to put it towards age rather than just trying to get the aide to the country and we'd been quoting on august the conflict to make the lives so many civilians. easier to make sure that him as an agency law able to deliver the aid that they need easier than this. but sadly, that extractions are getting harder. for example, we've had staff awful months, there was trying to wait for a visit to get into the country to deliver the program that they need to deliver. if we cannot move people, if we cannot move goods, if we can't access the a, is that all hot to each? now classified that where there is active conflict, we calculate the people who needs aid the most. as a desperation deepens, what can be done to save the children of yemen? honestly, a lot can be done if the international community is trying. sadly, the situation now in yemen is so that we keep calling for attention for the security council to look into what's happening in the country for the international governments to come together and demand. but sadly, we still cannot get the level of attention that it's required on friday. for example, more than $9.00 to $5.00 people were killed in a single attack in 2 separate attacks. saudi one in santa and one who died. and until now, we have not heard from mosul international governments about this attack. we have had one accountability mechanism that looked at into investigating what's happening to children and the international community of worked at this talking. it does seem suddenly that now the word was looking at human as the new norman is which has been delivered to live under this much violence. and this is what we find unacceptable. and the very least we need them to natural community pay attention to women. we need the warding policies to protects of reduced during the funder of cities, and we need to make sure we're able to feed them in the meantime. it is unconscious of that for the world to look at $20000000.00 jamini is we need him as an aide and still cut the funding for that. i'm sure the amine policy advocacy and campaign director for safe to children yemen, talking to us from amman. jordan, thank you very much, sir. okay, up to speed. now with some of the other stories they're making headlines to day. high level talks are being held in paris in a bit to diffuse tensions between russia and western nations. over a potential rush, an attack on ukraine, ukrainian and russian delegations are meeting with diplomats from france and germany. the 4 way normandy format has been used repeatedly, says russia's annexation of ukraine's premier peninsula in 2014 kurdish. let forces say they have regained control of most of a prison in northern syria. days after it was taken over by inmates, dozens of people were killed when detained members of the so called islamic state sees the site last week. unicef has expressed concerns over around $850.00 children, held at the facility. people across australia have taken to the streets to protest australia date, many carrying the australian aboriginal flag. the contentious anniversary marks the arrival of the british of us to australia in 1788 purchase or say it explicitly linked the country's national identity to colonialism and want the date change. wow . now to what could potentially shape up to be make or break days for british prime minister. boars, johnson, you k leader is faced a grilling in parliament as his political survival hangs in the balance. mister johnson rebuffed cause to resign and said he couldn't comment on an ongoing internal investigation into multiple alleged parties in downing street when the country was in lockdown. an inquiry into the gatherings is expected to be published within days. london, metropolitan police have also opened their own investigation. i'd like my okay, let's get you more. we can go to london to dw correspondent charlotta chelsea pill or charlotte, is this the prime minister's make or break moment suddenly being billed as such later? in fact, it has been for several weeks with every new allegations surrounding a gathering attended either by the prime minister or some of his colleagues. additional pressure is being heaped on prime minister boris johnson. and then of course yesterdays, you mentioned this announcement of a police investigation into potentially criminal wrongdoing with a hammer below for this prime minister. now whether or not it's make or break that depends on what his own members of it, what is a members of his own party decide his future is essentially in their hands. and the feeling is that many a waiting for the findings of the c grey report that's that report as being lead internally into the allegations of those gatherings. and as you say, those findings are expected imminently. there was speculation. it could be today possibly tomorrow, possibly monday, but whatever that report details that's going to be scrutinized very closely by members of his own party, who are aware that every day that this scandal drags on more damage is being done to the, to their own party. i suggest show that we take a listener to prime minister boris johnson and his exchange with the opposition leader tier astronomer. that took moments that took place moments ago. oh, what are the he says in his statement later today or tomorrow won't change. the fact is it was a prime minister on a government showed nothing but contempt for the decency, honesty and respect for define this country. oh, this is beaca. we love this country. i'm a doing everything, you know, of course, of course he wants me out of the way. this is because he want to be on the way. i caught many people. i post a lot of reasons. many people may want me out of the way, but i'll tell you the reason he wants me out of the way, because he knows that this government could be trusted to deliver a boisterous session there at the u. k. parliament. charlotte, this is not a man going without a fight. what he said is much in prime minister's question time just short time ago . he said he has absolutely no plans to resign. he stressed that before and indeed for the 2nd week running, he came out re fighting when being questioned by the opposition. as you had there about these allegations, he said repeatedly that all his spokesman repeated again yesterday that he didn't feel like a he had committed any wrong doing with regards to these parties. in fact, yesterday he said he welcomed the police investigation, saying he hoped it would draw a line on to this whole matter. but whether or not he thinks he's planning to reside in the future ultimately may not lie in his hands. it will be up to members of his own party to decide whether this is the man who they want to lead them, who they want to lead the country and really many and now waiting as i say, for the findings of that report in order to make that decision, but what is his standing in his political party right now and among the general public? well, let's take the public fest. we know that there is a lot of anger among the british public at the moment for weeks and weeks since the end of last year. there's been a pass now to pass in on the airways, talking about the sacrifices of ne, made but the same time as the as the, the prime minister. and so he's, colleagues, are accused of partying. there's been many stories of sacrifices idea that it's one rule for those who made the rules and another rule for everyone else that's really resonated, of course, there are others. you still support the prime and as to who i. c who are very much welcomed, the financial support in particular, they've had during this pandemic, but the aren't good on the streets as we've had over and over again, is real. now, when it comes to members of his own party, there are some that think of course now is the time for the prime minister to go. this is proved so damaging for the party. and some the publicly said that they'd like him to go, well, they'd like to force a vote of no confidence, but they're all those as well. who have been out on the airwaves to day members of his own can supporting the prime minister, listening what they say. his success is his achievements and stressing now is not the time for a change of leader. shall chelson pill reporting from london. thank you. next to spain were a 3 year investigation. by a newspaper advice has revealed hundreds of cases of alleged child sex abuse calls are growing for an independent probe. as more and more survivors break their silence to the abuse. young phillips sholtes met with one survivor in madrid, who hopes that such an investigation will reveal the truth about abuse within the church. this was where fernando so mona's torture started on the top floor of miss catholic school. he was just 14 and something awful. loana with just a few friends. one rainy afternoon, one of the teachers approached him. he came to tell me, does he want to come to get dry? and everything started there. he knew who he was looking for and the kind of loan children everything over the next 12 months. fernando was raped repeatedly by his teacher. sometimes several times a week he finds that agonizing that other stuff where clearly aware of what was happening yet the priest was never held accountable. partly because he was the brother of a well known minister. here you have children walking in the privacy of a priest on the top of the school. every day entering in the room of there now is impossible. they knew perfectly what was happening. there was too powerful fernando's case took place more than 40 years ago. the journalist inigo dominguez and a team from the epa east newspaper. i currently investigating more than $600.00 such cases, some of which run up to 2018. the team hope their work will force a proper investigation into abuse by the catholic church in england, by the fee of holiday, no party, nor state institution, nor indeed the church itself has so far. wanted to investigate the truth list. it's a very painful topic. cromwell and a political explosive one m. b, m. works placebo in france and germany. the church has set up independent investigative commissions to track down the extent of the problem. the catholic church and spain however, wants to take a different route. so our family love him. the law competitive his co punish church is decided to set up 70 offices across the country. luckily as your which victims can turn to mush proxy marcellus better. so it's not about statistical or sociological questions. very starts, at least the course of your in these offices are. it's about looking people in the eye and telling your story of egos. connie story as can and gwent respects on alice . fernando sal mourner doesn't believe this will work. he himself needed 30 years to tell his story. his former school has now admitted its failure, but he doesn't see that happening in most other church institutions. the bishop was saying and the other day that these were few little problems. imagine you're destroying the life of a child that thus me brought to you to educate, to take her. and, and this, i feel little problem. one person is a big problem. one child that is raped is a big problem. fernando says he no longer feels any anger towards his perpetrator, but he says he hopes that independent investigations will one day finally reveal the whole truth about child abuse in the spanish catholic church. want to turn out to our religious affairs correspondent, a martin gac at martin the spanish catholic church, as we just heard, it rejected the creation of the independent commissions to look into these cases. um, are you surprised by that? know, to some extent, i am not particularly coming from the spanish church, which has actually enjoyed an enormous amount of essentially political su boards and has used a political says board to fence away any attempt at actually clarify the situation of sexual. have you seen spain just to give you an idea? the sponge church has actually investigator, so they claim sexual abuse when it's institution and they have found 200 cases since 2000 well last 20 years. i mean, just to give you a sense of proportion, the french report from last year or found 230000 cases in a period of 50 years or 60 years over over the span of the church life. so to think that in 20 years, the church in spain has really just been able to find 200 cases is really quite, quite louis chris now has actually gone out and has actually started the process of trying to account for the number of victims. and at this stage, they have produce a roster of about a 1000 cases. the superstition of experts that i have talked to spanish experts that academic experts that had been following the case and i've done the criminal. logical word is clearly the numbers are much, much, much higher. so having said that, what role and responsibility does the spanish states have in all of this is their willingness to look into these cases and hold perpetrators accountable. i think that we have a 2 questions that are, that are germane to this and that are both very difficult to answer. the 1st one has to do with the political will to actually redress crimes committed. and i think that after the things that we have learned over the last couple of days concerning the knowledge of folk bennett a great singer of sexual abuse and essentially covering up some of those cases where we have learned about sort of the state of the french church, the german church, the american church, irish church, the number of cases. i think it's really quite obvious that the state, you know, given the magnitude has essentially looked the other way. now here we have a 2nd question that emerges. study is one that needs to be dealt with, in my opinion. very, very swift and very rapidly, which is, is this deal going on and what east of the state is doing to prevent it? because at this stage, knowing what we know now, we essentially have become with the state has become complicit if it's not acting to stop it. religious affairs correspondent martin gac thank you so much for waiting. you're welcome. jeremy has reported its highest ever 7 day incidence rate of cove at 900 cases registering over 900 infections. 410-0000 people, health authorities recorded 164000 new cases in a single 24 hour period. the rise is largely being driven by the arm across variant chance. the olaf shawls has argued in support of a vaccine mandate, as part of germany strategy to slow the spread of corona virus. lawmakers in parliament, the bait compulsory vaccines legislation has already passed, requiring vaccines for health care were 1st starting march, unvaccinated staff could be shut out, or even fire. he's abuse, a spoke to a nurse who works in a cove at 19 ward herself, but says she won't get vaccinated, whatever the risk michelle gas law to day. sabina saluda is working as an alternative practitioner. she offers her patients homeopathy treatments. on other days, she works as a nurse in an intensive care unit. when the pandemic started, she volunteered in a cobit ward. even local newspapers reported on the story as mclennan 20 settling of ease, little fawn above him, it is a small intensive care unit. but over 50 percent of it was occupied by corona virus patients. lucas have during my shifts i really experienced how desperately patients were struggling for air envelopes that really got to me. and rudy puts in dod vicky howlton, loft, lincoln from her own experience. she knows that the disease has cost many lives. however, she doesn't want to get vaccinated against coven 19, even though it will be compulsory for health care workers and germany from much. and that ammonia instead of being vaccinated with the vaccine whose effect i can't assess local, i'd rather catch the virus naming. of course the at that could go badly. but then i would rather excited death on my own tom, as i can kind of video my put a phone call from him lawmaker and dr. paula p shutter voted for compulsory vaccinations. she wants to prevent patients from being infected by nursing stuff. oh, this one's a anna. it's all medicine for all of us working in healthcare. it is our job that we do not put our patients at unreasonable risk on. and the coven. 19 vaccination is extremely safe. which is why it is acceptable to enforce it, to protect our patients. chosen, sabina believes an alternative therapy not in vaccinations, despite all the scientific proof that they work. most health care workers are vaccinated, but sabina could now lose her clinical job. though to the focus of common them on our back, should that really happen and my employer would say 30, but we are a danger to the patients van. then i will accept that and then i will not work there anymore. and now add on to our biden vetter, that she would then be missing out on several 100 euros a month. but that won't change her mind. she says she will remain unvaccinated. you're watching, did every news coming up next?
