given the was going to be family the only people. on the final part of my journey to become a target of the hindu for policy. on al-jazeera. 0 . hello there i'm the star and this is the news out live from coming up in the next 60 minutes 279 schoolgirls were released in northern nigeria after being kidnapped by gunmen on friday. more violent protests in myanmar as neighboring countries hold talks with the military to try to find a way out of the crisis. the white house defends its decision not to sanction saudi
1:01 pm
crown prince mohammed bin for the killing of journalist jamal khashoggi. and hundreds killed thousands displaced allegations of war crimes being committed against civilians and more than by some be. turned on people seem to do sports. but also great scandal also it is former club president just a bottom row spent the night in jail and he said to face a judge on tuesday he was coming up later with you know. we begin this news out in nigeria where the government says all 279 schoolgirls kidnapped in the northwest zamfara state have now been released a gunman took them from a state run school on friday it's the latest in a series of recent abductions of students in that region. we were sleeping at night when suddenly we started hearing gunshots they were shooting and listen we got out
1:02 pm
of our beds and people said we should run that they are thieves everybody fled and there were just 2 of us left in the room the other girls from my town i told her get up so we can run away she said i swear to god i will not leave the bed at that stage they were pointing guns at our heads i was really afraid of being shot. when i hear is president obama says he feels overwhelming joy at the news of their release and he said well welcome hard to bring an end to these grim and heartbreaking incidents of kidnapping the military and police will continue to go off to kidnappers they need the support of local communities in terms of human intelligence that can help criminal plans in the bud while we have an al-jazeera team in the town of course out in zamfara state a minute just joins me now from that live and i just what do we know about the release we're hearing from the government that there was no ransom paid the stime. exactly that's what the government told al-jazeera that there was no ransom people will be for the for the girls we met one of the men who led the team of
1:03 pm
negotiators who met the kidnappers and after turns 3 or 4 days of negotiations the girls were released late last night and they were driven here to show he the leader of the team in fact was a former bandit himself who surrendered to the authorities and accepted an amnesty along with others so he let that particular team because they know the terrain better and so the security services allow them to move and that's what he told us he said they went in there hoping that they will get the kids in time and in peace but they were also prepared for any unforeseen situation that may arise where he said they went and asked them 200 were the girls because the girls have nothing to do with their own grievances the bandages the bandage he said mention that they have their own grievances they're all scores to settle with the authorities because
1:04 pm
of the growth because of human rights abuses and all so that's the situation with the branded and now the governor who was 100 in this dialogue from day one when he came into office in 2019 said he is going to continue with the guy along in such a way that they will be peace in them for a state but that is said to. who said that is going to set him on collision course of the federal authorities who are now saying that the time for negotiation is time for talking with criminals is over time for action so will that we will i will love to see what happens in the next few days 2 weeks or few months between the tortoise and the bandit and the bandit we know right now the security forces have their hands full by dealing with so many fires putting out so many fires in many parts of the country the whole of northwestern northwestern nigeria is actually a crisis point and the emergency situation is what some people are calling the government to declare here in this region because of the daily loss of lives the
1:05 pm
daily attacks the daily kidnapping for ransom and all other communities that spreading are far beyond the northwest of the country down to the central part of the country and into the south of the country that's what we're seeing at the moment s.s. man you're talking about this crisis situation and obviously different groups with different grievances now the government it seems on this particular release was very quick to claim credit here i'm curious how are people there feeling about the way that the government is dealing with all of this because there has been increasing pressure on them to actually do something. well you see the the the situation is such of the nigerian constitution vested the interest or the control of police and the military in the hands of the federal government there are 36 states including a territory called the federal capital territory which is the center of the country abu gates of now these governors have no control total control over these security agencies that is their beef all this stuff that's their complaint they wanted some
1:06 pm
form of or for a t. on on on these security forces they want their own state police which the constitution for the time he has not provided for them so the negotiation according to the governors and for the state is the way forward to deal with the situation because there aren't enough security personnel to deal with the emerging crisis that is affecting the whole of northern nigeria central parts of liberia and even to a large extent the southern part of nigeria remember the insults movement remember boko haram to be dealt with in the northeast of the country remember the attacks the kidnappings the robberies and all these situations the governors want total control but again that dialogue with the bandits is raising eyebrows among nigerians people are wondering if this is not fueling the crisis itself they wonder if taking runs from to the bandits or given free passage even if ransom is paid giving free passage to these people won't encourage them to be bolder and launch more aggressive attacks not only on schools but entire villages as we were talking now there were reports of another attack in this part of the country last night and
1:07 pm
so the attacks continue in that arson armitage affair on the ground for us in ram tire stays in northern nigeria thanks so much allan. well as ahmed was saying kidnapping is a common tactic used by armed groups and criminal gangs in nigeria amnesty international says it's been escalating now since january there were 2 mass abductions of school children in less than 10 days in february 27 boys and their teachers were taken in niger state on the 17th before they were freed on saturday officials say the attacks are being canned carried out by these bandits loosely formed armed gangs who robbed and kidnapped for money now nigeria deny is paying ransoms but many believe that regional instability in north western states has allowed kidnapping to become a lucrative source of income some believe boko haram as well publicized kidnapping of more than 270 school schoolgirls in the town of chibok back in 2014 prompted even more armed groups to turn to these mass abductions of children. elsewhere in
1:08 pm
nigeria in the northeast where boko haram has been battling the government now for over a decade 25 aide workers are reported trapped at a u.n. base i saw linked fighters attacked a humanitarian hub there fighters from the group that calls itself islamic state west africa province invaded the town of in borno state officials say that military reinforcements jets and helicopters have all been deployed well let's speak to a. geo political and security analyst after politica security think tank and he joins us now from everywhere there's clearly a lot to discuss around nigeria at the moment but i do want to start with these surge of kidnappings that we've been seeing in the northwest why schools. thanks for having me you know if there's a fall i really want or you know this president will fit in all of our vendor and i would do news of the release but what does us who are celebrating we are asking ourselves when is the next one going to happen because i'm seeing far too many in
1:09 pm
such a shock here of time on it's very concerning in the men in men doing this any part of the contrary the attacks on the incidence of crack criminality with a book or bond buying the. new the new. sets are being the fish referred to is quite is quite disheartening because we are seeing these attacks is trippin over the strict impropriety unlike we've seen many of us at back to kids on to do an appearance i care to buck in a period of period talk or say but each to sift you of their children so it is very very important that the government steps up with effort and just before coming on i really hope for better points newspapers that the men down government is not deploying in spain c.b.c. the then civil. security security and civil defense corps to secure
1:10 pm
securing the school board let's hope and. watch out for what's going to come out of the us if we were just looking at the tactics here i mean initially it really seemed that the kidnapping tactic started with groups like iran but what we're seeing now seems to have rather different motivations is this opportunistic behavior that we're seeing. very clearly it is in need of opportunistic on all of the fact all grabby of course if the kidnapping is lurie's can have a war because listen let's go back to the the incident didn't know that because then you heard of it by a 1000 students in school or boy school the school is it's not finished either on its cruise to. where the government knew this criminal element or prick from the hiding these forests are from news reform before they learned
1:11 pm
that one community's so if you are criminals very close to a school where that is not fair of course one day they will be tempted to own the didn't fart. in kroger so the this if school initiative which in by a group of the chibok incident promised quite a lot it is quite it is quite sad the initiative really new. get on ruling because that love court with the lot in insecurity school because partly robust initiative we look forward to seeing the big being you know salute to all of the great i want to take a bit of a step back here i was looking at a map of incidents across the country including what's happening right now in borno state and it does seem like there are almost 3 different conflicts with different motivations all happening in nigeria so we've got the bandits in the northwest as as a monetarist was telling us that the farmers and the herders who are fighting each
1:12 pm
other in the middle men this ongoing insurgency from back around is the general lack of security creating almost i guess a culture of impunity that just becomes that a vicious cycle. if you're. not me with this 3 conference flashpoint do not in the north central central mean the bill and then do not is you begin to understand the enormity of the secret challenges that to go up the government is just not expected particularly the security apparatus. the the warming issues anybody who i agree with your own on is the fact that the mom power is the main your major problem for same and yet we have 219 police men 100000 citizens $219.00 others who were less than $300.00 which is sub-saharan africa average that to sue that's a large extent the government the government cannot even prove by security even if
1:13 pm
it wants to because the demarc are as is just not bitten. policing is almost like the. tests we taught we were last on the train support them of crime in any part of the quarter and so said the other a situation what if you don't have enough policing to do to do to do the ground war to relate to even when you if you win. of course you end up running over do searches to police the police but that is not that is not happening because believe in of police in the not is yes the crime issue is still ongoing thankfully seem new need new leadership after complaints or years of complaint was already left that's additional it actually of the meat of immunity top brass we hope would be we were to recruit configure the strategies that were being used before to come
1:14 pm
but the terrorists in the in the not used and then we can start seeing in progress in that regard because we just cannot rely or she was the. chernoff superconscious truck that you know we were doing what all of that talk we got to do between the new formula communities and the troops we have to breed in new point we're going to give boots it's only a 40 foot 40 former gross's army would be bone nutri i think a lot of that has to do do with police and because if you begin to draw on your army in to do this or that these tours are completely daily going to all of us troops. but to lower bookworms you need to integrate the troops be able to do that other ways that we don't force you to leave this more in surely a lot of issues around resourcing there. from africa to curate a think tank i'm great to speech and get your thoughts here on al-jazeera being
1:15 pm
here now moving on and security forces and are continuing to crackdown on protesters 2 days after the bloodiest day yet of the unrest there there are reports that live rounds were fired in the northwestern town of kalak. as you can see there have been street battles between security forces and anti could demonstrators in cities across the country on tuesday now that's despite the use of increasingly violent tactics to disperse those crowds at least 18 people were killed on sunday well tony chang is monitoring the situation for us from bangkok and neighboring thailand turning out despite this brutal crackdown we've been watching people are still clearly pouring into the streets now even more live rounds are being used. yes as you mentioned there in cali and chin state on the west a man man next to india will send live rounds were used against protesters they medics reporting at least 4 people had been admitted to hospitals showing bullet
1:16 pm
wounds we understand that there aren't any fatalities as yet or no reports on the other side of the country and state more than 60 people have been arrested after clashes with with security forces there in mandalay in central man more people going into the south of the city of being forced to hand over the phones as they go into the city by the security services phones and be checked their social media checked if they're found to. any evidence of supporting these protests they're saying being arrested and in dar way and yank on again big protests hundreds if not thousands of people going out on the streets and they are being met with bare arches of rubber bullets tear gas so we now appear to be locked into this daily struggle between protesters who are undeterred by the kind of violence we've seen in the last couple of days by the fact that the security services are prepared to
1:17 pm
use live fire and the security services on the other hand who are now detaining thousands of people and prepared to use the extreme force and live fire and not of afraid of causing fatalities as they try to stamp out these protests tony we clearly see international pressure building on the military is any of that having an impact at all. it doesn't appear to be at the moment certainly what we've seen in the last few days on saturday we saw the start of these new protests as the security services became far more proactive in trying to stamp out the protests then on sunday we saw the live fire being used with all those every day they just seem to be ratcheting up the pressure in addition to which i think we the media have often focused on the big cities because that is where we're getting much more information that's where we have sources that this is
1:18 pm
happening all over the country in a lot of these towns in the extreme parts of me and maher the protest movement seems to have sparked and the security services are using extreme force to put them down too and i think that is the concern of the international community we've seen the sanctions coming from the u.s. u.k. the e.u. but we've seen that in the past i think the real issue is going to be what comes out of this meeting that's going on at the moment and whether there can be a regional solution found because the generals in myanmar traditionally do not listen to the voices beyond. the neighboring countries it's the neighboring countries which probably have the key if there is any key. to making everybody stand by and we're having you all the latest from that meeting later on this news hour for now tony chang now with all the latest from bangkok thank you tony. plenty more ahead this news hour including pharmaceutical giant johnson and johnson plans to test its code in $1000.00 vaccine on infants and even newborns. and then support
1:19 pm
david beckham shows off his skills and also target some big names for his club into miami. president joe biden's administration has sidestepped any direct action against saudi crown prince mohammed bin salam and that's despite a u.s. intelligence report on friday revealing his involvement in the murder of john the. al-jazeera reports. 3 days after the bike ministration declassified an intelligence report on the murder of journalist jamal 2 officials say they're taking a hard line regarding the mastermind named in the report saudi arabia's crown prince and de facto ruler mohammed bin solomon we have also conveyed very clearly and candidly through diplomatic channels that this absolutely can never happen
1:20 pm
again that our relationship will be different from what it has been in the past and that we are going to be of course hold the option of holding saudi arabia to to their commitment to to take reforms in place and make progress moving forward but critics aren't buying it they say the u.s. should have imposed the same punishment on the crown prince that it has imposed on $76.00 saudi individuals whom the u.s. believes have sought to threaten dissidents overseas including those implicated in these murder at the state department spokesperson argued the u.s. considers king solomon not his son to be the country's ruler and that officials are trying to preserve a critical relationship in the middle east it's important to u.s. interests and it requires continued progress in reforms to ensure that this important partnership rests on strong fundamentals and continues to advance our
1:21 pm
shared objectives in the middle east we seek to accomplish a great deal with the saudis to end the war in yemen and ease yemen's human syrian crisis. ending that civil war is one of president joe biden's top foreign policy priorities he's already taken a harder line with riyadh by cutting all future of fence of weapon sales the saudis have long been accused of using u.s. provided bombs to kill again many civilians on monday washington announced at an aid conference for yemen that it would give a no. of the $170000000.00 in humanitarian relief still not enough said aid workers to help the people suffering from 4 years of who are they need to lift the blockade on the blockade preventing food medicine and essential goods including fuel from getting into yemen that solution needs to be changed so it's inclusive fair and just by the administration specifically needs to stop linking the iran negotiation
1:22 pm
with peace negotiations in the meantime another human rights question has been left unanswered whether in light of the national intelligence community's report the u.s. will ever give crown prince mohammed bin solomon and his family a waiver to visit the u.s. congress passed a law banning all foreign officials in their relatives from the u.s. if they were involved in cases of major corruption or a gross violation of human rights which many would argue includes. murder rosalynn jordan al jazeera. now u.s. pharmaceutical giant johnson and johnson has confirmed it will test its coronavirus vaccine on children it's also planning to include newborns and pregnant women and expanded trials johnson and johnson's vaccine has now become the 3rd to be formally approved by u.s. regulators nearly 4000000 doses are currently being delivered across the country we
1:23 pm
can now speak to dr kay he's an associate professor of infectious diseases at australian national university and he joins us now from canada dr trials are now starting for children with a number of vaccines i see but i know some of our viewers will be wondering why it's taken so long is there a different set of ethical concerns when it comes to testing on kids. yes mustachios of both pregnant women and children generally aren't included in initial trials for a vaccine or a medication just for safety reasons and then when the intervention is found to be safe in other populations those groups are introduced to that vaccine will medication and that's what's happening here so we currently save files and start kits to children over the age of $12.00 to $12.00 to $18.00 and will hopefully have those results by the middle of this year as for zeneca has started testing children
1:24 pm
between the ages of $6.70 and of course now johnson and johnson has made their announcement so we do know though that children are seemingly less at risk of severe covered right although they can develop the center and potentially also transmit the virus to others so it is about sedating children more about protection for then or for others. right and that's a that's a great question so it comes down to this sensibly now it's certainly covert 19 for reasons we're still trying to rob the stand maybe because children never lets ace to receptive in their body that adults seem to be less susceptible to cove it and severe kind of it although it seems to be more of an issue in older children than younger children but we certainly do see deaths in children in us doctor probably about 5 out of every $10000.00 children who get caught it will die which is very unfortunate but still a bit of very low level and if you break that down further it tends to be older
1:25 pm
children so some c.d.c. data from the us found that about the median age of 121 children who died from code was 60 in the u.k. from very small numbers from early last year 3 out of 4 deaths were of children over the age of 10 so you might want to target in terms of vaccination older children and the other thing we know is that children who've got co-morbidities and chronic conditions are more likely to die than those who don't and so you might also even target younger children with a chronic medical condition also many people would also argue that the ability to reopen schools right as really critical to getting economies back up and running as well as i say getting children done improperly again and we're starting to see that happen in many countries apartheid's and vaccinating teaches and stuff to make all of that possible now if children can transmit it even if they aren't necessarily going to get very sick is reopening school with a safe strategy if children aren't getting any nights. right so couple of things
1:26 pm
that the 1st issue is what is the background level of kovi in your population so where i am in canberra australia is pretty about 0 but did certain parts of the united states and europe it's very high so that's one consideration another consideration of course is even if the children are vaccinated we don't know if they will necessarily start trying that will start transmission be restored try to work that out in the adult backs of the aged or pilates it probably will have a big impact but we're not quite sure so i suspect until we work all this out it'll be good to continue taking the precautions that we are taking at the moment if we are opening schools in areas because it dr sanjay there from australian national university always great to have you on al-jazeera thanks for joining us again thank you so much how in the netherlands thousands of restaurant and cafe and as into southern cities are preparing to open their doors in defiance of
1:27 pm
a lockdown there pubs and restaurants have been closed now since october when the dutch government imposed restrictions to control the spread of a new more contagious variant but some business owners in tel bergen breda say they've had enough and they will open their outdoor terraces they do face the threat of large fines step bason is intel bag for us step this isn't the 1st time that we've seen resistance to these kinds of distractions in the netherlands and other forms of protest and even previously turned violent can you give us a sense of the level of anger that you are seeing that. well absolutely many people people here in the netherlands are fed up with the lockdown frictions and especially now the sun is shining it's a nice day and what is happening is that many people are actually file ating i.d.'s rules and go to the parks massively drinking and having a party there so business owners are very much complaining they say why can't we open in a safe way so we can actually provide our services and actually run less risk than
1:28 pm
people gathering violating these rules and i'm here at a very remarkable protest until there where a business owner has opened his terrace and looks maybe that there are people here but they're all manic and dogs and this is a symbolic protest and some business owners are actually really violating the rules and they're risking a fine of 4000 euros but this business owner has decided not to risk a fine so he has done it in a different way and he's actually joined with me here it's. a business owner of several guys face here in silver thank you for joining us how how serious is the situation for many business owners like you and how fired up are you with. the set up sort of leverage going to open all terrace. 1.5 metres. we did it last summer there are no. go for. me there are.
1:29 pm
we were closed in the winter and we've also had sort of several progressions but no . over the shining. beginning march and we want to open we want to serve the people but the government says you can't open because that's still many infections to ferry in so from several countries are entering then that means hospitals are still full are you not running too much risk that's the reason for adults not real people. because if the governments it keeps us close they might run on a percent for damage because we are close for medical reasons. or other automotive fractures or doctors or a minister also get paid for one on a bus and if you keep us close for medical reasons you must pay us 100 percent otherwise give us a 2nd chance or another 2nd cent but also that. we can open.
1:30 pm
the same great last summer is that after that the infections went up again right so many people are saying well i don't just like what you have to summon at the post office some of those didn't happen in the summer we went we were opening july august and the numbers didn't end up that because we did it on the say in a safe way and we can do it in the same way again. i truly believe that many are getting angry and impatient right and many of your colleagues as well they actually risking a big fine today how is the mood i don't do the mood is this is it getting down hill because every month we have closed. one year off your pension and i have to look that i can pay for my pension but it started last year or year before they didn't have. half the chance to build up the money today have for. decades
1:31 pm
grow so. they must open our government must pay them 100 percent for the damage was real close for medical reasons and in holland. medical is paid for 100 percent so it looks like you have some customers today but they're not going to pay much right they are not going to pay anything this also does they cost money thank you so much for joining us interestingly deaths also some discussion among them may or as in the netherlands who are also getting more defiant against. the government some mayors are also saying businesses should get more opportunities to make money because it's getting too difficult for them and also questions are being asked about the elections in 2 weeks from now then that ones will hold elections and the government has said that it's completely safe to hold these elections for 3 days so many people are wondering why is that event possible while so many other things are not so increasingly irritation here in the
1:32 pm
not a very interesting step there on the streets of tel back for us in the netherlands thanks so much that one out germany is set to extend its national lockdown until march 28th but some restrictions will be eased earlier chancellor angela merkel will discuss those options with the leaders of federal states on wednesday the country has been under lockdown since november it's so far ported more than $2000000.00 cases and at least 70000 deaths also ahead here on al-jazeera a new coal mine project in the u.k. could determine could undermine its credibility ahead of a climate summit. and england need to win the 4th cricket test against india in order to square the series piece will be here to look ahead to that match for you.
1:33 pm
however the weather remains fine and modeled for a good part of europe at the moment lots of subtle weather around big area of high pressure so large the clear skies early warning folks who were think of but nothing too much if the truth be known we have got the system this area of high pressure just not a little further east for say over the next couple days so there will be something a change coming in to western parts of here but the moment we got shot was state snow just pushing across western russia some unsettled weather coming through here that makes its way through as you go on through weather stay still a few showers around the eastern side of the black sea parts of turkey and also into that a side of the mediterranean so some lively storms a possibility just around cyprus pushing over towards the levant over the next day or 2 with some strong winds got a few shows them in place across the eastern half of spain as well but some west of weather just making its way in from the atlantic so northern parts of france will see increasing rights to get up to 17 celsius in paris. for london as it clouds
1:34 pm
over what's the weather coming in across southern parts of england and a good part of wales look how it cools off as we go on into thursday winds coming in from a northerly direction wetter weather easing across germany pushing a little further east was about this size is fine and dry for the met. some people marry for love others it can be a commercial transaction. i mean it's worth 3700 euro payment just for the march going to al-jazeera world needs men and women using marriage as an illegal passport to europe you know just as you can get your attitude and were attempting to organize a sham marriage and a financial and emotional cost he left me for a woman 33 years older than him marriage for sale on al-jazeera.

1:36 pm
a state run school on friday it's the latest in a series of abductions in that region. the biden administration is defending its decision not to sanction saudi crown prince mohammed bin for the killing of journalist mark sharp she says it wants to recalibrate not rupture the relationship with. security forces and myanmar continue to crackdown on protesters 2 days after the bloodiest day yet of that armrest there are reports that live rounds were fired in the northwestern town of cali. foreign ministers from the regional bloc are holding about your meeting to discuss that situation in myanmar just a washington is following that for us from jakarta jessica and indonesia's been trying to lead efforts to resolve this crisis but given that asio itself is built on a principle of noninterference is it likely to be able to do anything. mr that's an interesting point on this principle of noninterference something that
1:37 pm
cosmic rays continuously since the crew began but there is also the principle in china. a principle to the commitment rule of law of good governance of respecting democratic processes and constitutional government and that's something that really means that out the un towns have a role to play in this situation the indian asian market is. on the front of those efforts to convince the counterparts that in tunisia really don't have a role to play in this process it is a complicated process because as you mentioned housing on is a mixed bag of democratic spectrum of course there are some countries that are more established democracies and others that are not we do know that the meeting of foreign ministers the 1st meeting since the crew began has just concluded we've heard a little bit of information from the indonesian foreign minister just a few minutes ago she is still speaking so that information is still coming in but
1:38 pm
she did confirm that indonesia has been really pushing for the past 2 weeks to engage with asean countries and also leaders in new zealand the u.s. south korea and china also speaking with them to express their views as well this is the 1st meeting it is perhaps some progress that these leaders were able to meet because when the crew began it was a mixed bag of responses having this meeting does signify that we may be getting closer to a unified response now there has been much criticism over the years directed towards on the on in particular how they have handled various situations in me and my supporters of the on say that well as the on has really been helpful in the push towards democratic transition in me and ma and it really helped pave the way for the initial release off. however critics of the on who have long britain the obituary for this. organizations say that it's not particularly useful or active and that point has been proven in how the raheen good crisis has been can't handle
1:39 pm
what we will hear as the meetings progress and what we really be able to assess is how successfully what is in the tool. to handle this prices tesco washington they're watching that meeting for us from jakarta thank you so much jessica. amnesty international says war crimes are being committed in mozambique's cover delgado province and a new report the rights group says hundreds of people have been killed since 2017 it's documented extrajudicial executions human rights violations and indiscriminate attacks the u.n. says the violence has forced more than 500000 people from their homes while the amnesty report says many parties are responsible for the killings here feiss locally known as al-shabaab which is not linked to the armed group in somalia have beheaded civilians and burned villages in the northern region state security forces are also facing accusations of rights violations in an effort to crush the rebellion the report says government troops arbitrarily arrested civilians tortured
1:40 pm
detainees and carried out extrajudicial killings it also says must scenarios from a south african security firm hired by mozambique's government have shot at civilians the company says it will look into those allegations but we can now speak to use of adam he's a retired professor of contemporary history at the a daughter university in mozambique he joins us now from there professor this is been an ongoing issue and more than 3 year is since this insurgency began but it does seem that we are seeing an escalation now is that partly because other parties like these foreign military contractors are getting involved. situation has been. really hard to take from the beginning grammy started in 2050 and. there were already some scattered rain showers and people being healed some attacks here and there and in 2017 into the into. the serious
1:41 pm
phrase. it is important that these issues be these cars because there was a tendency. not to look. at the read these are different characters but as a. defense security forces russia. reaches the local name population gives still the. man and role so. security companies well the residents there have also been saying that they've been seeing these atrocities by government forces as your fetish sometimes in collaboration with the insurgents i'm curious there's also been a huge amount of sexual violence but one of the us suggests that everyone there is acting with impunity yes everyone is acting really
1:42 pm
