past hour and he told me that they are on their way through the. to john gave me why the incident happened meanwhile at the school we were able to get in touch with our local said assessed as it's going to be undertaken they would have been with me probably and i was told to get around the figures that they are walking ways in terms of the numbers of students abducted and this is actually an all girls school and the number of abduction if really confined is far much that one we witness in chibok about in 2014 that's close to 7 years ago and right now we spoke to the police public relations office i showed while ago and he said they are trying to reach out to the communities and also see what they can do to solving this situation in times of chasing after the bandits and. getting the girls back how about this is

a state that has prided itself in negotiating with the bandits yesterday some bandits or group of men submitted their weapons and then early this morning we had this incident in jenin gave a so it's a very dicey situation. kidnapping is an increasingly common tactic used by armed groups in criminal gangs across nigeria just over a week ago gunmen abducted 42 people including 27 students from a secondary school one just 8 in december more than 300 pupils were taken during a raid at a school in katsina state walk around claimed responsibility 110 girls were taken in europe states in 2018 and 270 girls were abducted from neighboring borno state in 2014 this incident to international attention to nigeria's kidnapping crisis and there to iran is nigeria researcher for human rights watch she says the government must find a different approach to dealing with abductions he sons have not to be

a holistic solution to distant problems of kidnapping and your point you really need to react reevaluate your approach what we find is that just so soon after one attack another happens in this space of 3 months it's really worried. that. there is a trend and that is her age really are these. terms and the response from your story which is. of huge sums of money runs even though your glory is consistently denied the amount of grass of many other sources come out really provided information that the war. the united states military has launched air strikes in syria targeting facilities used by iranian backed militias the main target was the imaam ali

military base near our book amal that's close to syria's border with iraq the pentagon says the operation was in response to recent attacks against american personnel in iraq. the. target that we believe. will. be. the story. 2 of the targeted militia is a part of what are known as the popular mobilization forces it's an umbrella of shia groups formed in $24.00 taking to fight eisel in iraq with u.s. support hezbollah or hezbollah brigades was set up more than 10 years earlier in 2003 during the iraq war its fighters attacks u.s. and coalition forces and. was founded in 2013 like hezbollah

brigades sit conducts operations in both syria and iraq we've got 2 correspondents on the story this awesome out of 14 is standing by for reaction out of iraq the 1st let's go to our white house correspondent kimberly health at kimberly so this is the 1st action coming from the biden administration right in response to attacks on american targets in iraq how does all of this differ from from trump's approach. oh good morning from early morning in washington where there is still no official statement from the white house press secretary or even the commander in chief joe biden who is the course the u.s. president but also serves that dual role as commander in chief now we know that he ordered these strikes but has yet to comment on them only we know through the pentagon as you mentioned that this was to deal with the attacks on american personnel and coalition forces and that this occurred after consultation with u.s.

allies now the statement coming from the pentagon is that this was an attempt to d. ask the situation is syria and iran but as the united states is hoping to open the diplomatic door to reviving the nuclear agreement to limit or runs rather the 2015 agreement to limit iran's nuclear program it's very unclear for many here in washington particularly absence of a statement on how the administration intends to do that fez that in fact that there has been a lot of criticism domestically about what has occurred overnight given the own statements of the white house press secretary and also joe biden when donald trump took similar action in fact the white house press secretary said tweet from 2017 where she questioned the legal authority of the trumpet ministration attacking a sovereign nation of course syria and also joe biden saying in

a tweet that has also not aged well that the trumpeted ministration does not have the authority to take to war with iran without congressional approval or the consent of the american people so given now that he himself joe biden has taken similar action there are a lot of people scratching their heads wondering what the justification was given those criticisms so we would like to ask. those questions of the white house press secretary but we should note that joe biden is headed to texas to deal with the aftermath of the storms and power outages there so we won't have that opportunity only a small pool of reporters who will be on air force one will be able to ask those questions so many people questioning the timing and also the motives of this action ok thank you for that kimberly. the want house let's go to some wonderful team who is in baghdad and for simona can you explain for our viewers what sort of position this puts iraq. well we haven't heard any

reactions from iraq's government and that has drawn criticism from some some sources that are closely affiliated with these armed groomed groups they blame the iraqi government for not criticizing these u.s. strikes on their positions in syria what we understand is that at least one member of hezbollah was killed in those airstrikes and the pictures you saw earlier was from the funeral procession of that particular individual and of course the type is ball is a group that operates both in iraq and syria and it is a group that the u.s. has previously blamed for attacks on american interests here in the country it is however 1 uncertain if it's actually the group that is behind the latest rocket attacks on the arab elance specifically on the u.s. military base there that left 2 people dead so some analysts argue that it was

actually a different armed group that these strikes perhaps are not as effective as we've heard the secretary of defense claim earlier now it remains to be seen how these groups like hezbollah and. will react to these particular strikes whether they will once again step up their attacks on bases here in iraq whether they will step up the rocket attacks on the american embassy but what is certain however is that this response from the biden administration was relatively measured compared to how the trump administration used to respond often taking unilateral action against targets here inside iraq and drawing criticism from the iraqi government that their sovereignty was not being respected so by choosing syria as the location for that retaliatory strike it has basically. put away the pressure from that iraq u.s. relationship and it's unlikely it will be hearing any kind of statement come out

from the iraqi government or despair tickler strike. ok so manifold seen in baghdad thank you. the u.k. supreme court has ruled that a woman who ran away as a teenager to join a little should not be allowed to return to britain to find her citizenship should be left london with 2 school friends at the age of 15 and married and i still find it she was stripped of her british citizenship on national security grounds after being discovered in a refugee camp in 2019 the u.k. government has argued bangladeshi by descent so she can live there for more on this we're joined by 4 in london she is co executive director of the legal charity reprieve thank you so much for your time or was your what is your reaction to the supreme court ruling that should mean that they can not be allowed to return to the u.k. to challenge the stripping of her citizenship. thank you well it's disappointing to

judgment that in fact it doesn't change the position that we're currently on here in britain then the position that women are not serial included in so i mean about them and the other small group of british families with the thames that what the coltons of that to be done said this is really a decision for government and what we. walked up and. said is that the most effective thing to do with these families the current attend in syria is to we have to pay them often and we will get to some that will need to be prosecutions and not just a system in britain is perfectly well equipped to deal with those prosecutions and then the others including women. who are detained they will need support rehabilitation reintegration a member of the victims the people who may be trafficking not yet in britain a knowledge that needs to be protected as well. what happened but it's on the

government now ok that's sensible if it is on the government do you think there is the political will to do anything. i mean what every day brits think about this why is her case so divisive. well when you ask what the government and what the political opinion is i think that's very interesting because it's that not some parents strong security minded for instance for example the chair of the fest with the chair that defense committee to see more and he's already up to the government this week to say we're jobless and what the supreme court says we need to bring back that which is families and include. them to the kind of the prosecution where we have for investigations the sec the census for those. that syria so the political opinion on this is not you know we have

a lot of fun security forces saying that it is in the interests of justice of security to bring these individual time and that's what we believe that reprieve and it's also what the u.s. government has been warning not countries that will stand in the room to do the news now that they think there is any validity a in the national security argument that bringing back to me i'm a better go home and all the people who were in her situation does pose a national security risk. what's interesting there are those that the former director of that my current director. public prosecutions and can't remember the others that. that's. actually it was that it is to bring isn't it just that in british courts justice is right while trying these cases we've tried complex cases in british courts that international transnational and we don't. we

must also about children some of the what completely innocent to the middle and then one of the mountain top a significant number of that women that may well. so british courts the british and britain is the right ones were asked to explain those that she's got to decide what is in the suggestive but also what's in the end here it's it does not leaving people in unstable camps where that could be. where people have a scary they're also then just but to none and not stand meeting. well just a small number of british nationals abandoned in those desert. thanks so much for your time mayor for there they kosik of director of the legal charity reprieve thank you. joe biden has spoken with saudi arabia's king solomon by phone the head of the release of a us intelligence report on the murder of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi the

a protesting in the capital yet of on demanding he step down is rejected calls to question fired his military chief accusing the army of attempting a coup. has faced protests since losing the war with neighboring azerbaijan last year over the disputed region of nagorno kind of uk let's cross live now to robin foster walker who's in rome where is nicole pushing on now and what's he trying to do to shore up his leadership. well it has not be out and about today on the streets of your event that was yesterday thursday when with just a facebook message he was able to call out significant numbers of people on to the streets to show that he still has a measure of public support but today in fact i think he's been on a sort of a charm offensive reminding the army who appear to be so unhappy with him that he has raised the salaries of soldiers and so forth while in office to show that he is

on this site that he's not somehow the man that they should be making an enemy of but today really is all beat about the opposition who have been maintaining their rolling protests we're going to have another one at 6 o'clock local time which is in just about an hour's time today they've been meeting with the presidents of army seems to be a man of the moment playing a mediator a role may ultimately decides how they saw plays out because he's been meeting both the opposition. parliamentary factions and also. crucially the head of the armed forces. and the prime minister has sought the resignation of his eyes actually dismissed and it's up to the president to now signed that letter of dismissal or hand it back to mr passion you hand and say you know this isn't a good idea and he has 3 days to do that this is all about undermining mr press

unions or thor it's slowly being chipped away at eroded. but still for the time being this whole idea about a military coup well that has not materialized yet well then why is this happening now given there was a case of an it going to kind of like that in the end. well that's because the pace that was established is a very. disappointing outcome for armenia they've been devastated by what's happened they've lost all the territories surrounding this enclave of little karabakh that the war with azerbaijan was being fought over they lost a very large numbers of military personnel and there are still prisoners of war that have yet to be returned and that grief. in the media is a small nation and yet 3 and a ha 1000 army servicemen lost lost their lives it's also

to do with mr falling out with the army general so it may be about personalities literally just the fact that they couldn't get along with but what he did his whole recent issue seems to be about is that he criticised the minute tree hardware that russia had supplied to armenia and the russian. media has been reporting about how unhappy they are about those comments and the media and top brass in the army have connections with the russians and they want to have the russians on this side they now need russia very much to maintain the peace in the region with russian things keep an eye on the ground and nicole question is if you like has been disturbing that alliance as they see it. and i think. political tensions are rising in georgia where people are demanding the opposition leader be freed police raided the offices on tuesday and arrested him on charges of

inciting violence and $29.00 to the deepening crisis prompted georgie got to resign as prime minister last week he had warned against emilia's arrest saying it would only make the crisis worse the new prime minister got a brush it was chosen by parliament late on monday. kremlin critic alexina valmy has been moved to a prison outside of moscow the prison service wouldn't confirm exactly where and his lawyer described it as an undisclosed location their only was sentenced to 2 and a half years for a parole violation he was found to have breached parole rules while recovering in germany from being poisoned the kremlin denies any involvement in the attempted assassination. thousands of people have received the covert 19 vaccine in hong kong on the 1st day of its mass rollout they are given

damage our d.n.a. there's also no evidence to suggest the facts. effects fertility ethnic minorities stars have appeared in a t.v. ad to counter negative views and an information drive has begun among faith leaders we know that as muslims and we should always stand up against that it is false the mums here receiving the vaccine awareness training to pass on to their congregants i'm not saying that this is a magic wand bought this is a starting point that we are delivering these kind of training so people would be able to understand exactly what it is and what it entails as well as you know if they don't take it what would be deeply the disadvantages if they take it they will have their life. the clear concern in all of this is that it is in the very communities where social inequality has led to higher death rates from coma 19 good

emissions and it's concluded that the world is on track to reduce emissions by just one percent by 2030 to keep below the 1.5 degree celsius temperature rise cap emissions need to come down by 45 percent or the very least 25 percent to save the planet from 2 degrees of warning u.n. the specifically named japan south korea russia new zealand switzerland and australia for failing to improve on their 2015 targets brazil was also singled out for lacking any goals to cut emissions by 2030 all to halt rising deforestation we're joined now by patricia espinosa in bonn germany she is the executive secretary of the united nations climate change body thank you very much for your time so as we're saying there right now we're on track to reduce emissions by one percent by 2030 if we're going to stop the world for warming at more than 1.5 degrees celsius emissions should be 45 percent lower i mean this sounds like it

could be catastrophic what is going to happen to the world if we don't get this in check. well him and i'm actually what i do know that with companies they are reality that we have been facing in the last few years and event the last few weeks that we are in these terrible winter storms today in the child learn where they are attending the current events and time soon in asia let me let me give you a 50 year old to gather it when 200-2019 more than 475000 people lost their lives as a result of more than $11000.00 extreme weather events nobody in the longest amounted to around $256.00 trillion dollars for those $11000.00 at the stroke event so this is what is going to continue to happen the

height of mergers we saw in siberia earlier and these winds are and we continue and that means a lot of lives loss of life includes and konami catastrophe a lot of suffering and human suffering i was under is it too late have we have we missed the window to avoid climate catastrophe have we already sentenced our grandchildren to a very different world to the one that we know. well we do know that a lot of. consequences of climate change are already in reversal. for example the last in terms of i and i have mercy at the same time we do know that we still have a very very very small window would you need to make things right and there are solutions out there that there arab that period and why we must feel now

decision making in order to do this transformation now not that we have to wait 10 more years and then reflect on why who will do the decisions we need to be taken now this is why 2021 years why are these initiatives is failing to meet targets failing to make a difference i was interested to see japan south korea russia new zealand even failing to improve on that on their 2015 targets i mean how do you get countries to to follow what they said they were going to do to walk the walk not just talk the talk. why we never we should never not under him a brand and they and they. or very complicated scenario is that can say in doing these very deep transformations we're talking about a deep economic social and political transformation it's not
