we've had those flooding problems in tennessee the what's the weather is going to be for the south which as we go through the next couple of days and there is the risk of further study here for the next 2 days. sponsored qatar airways. this is 0. hello there i'm the stars here 10 this is the news hour live from our headquarters here and coming up in the next 60 minutes 279 schoolgirls have been released in northern nigeria after being kidnapped by gunmen on friday. police in myanmar fired protesters as neighboring countries hold talks with the military to find

a way out of the crisis. the white house defends its decision not to sanction saudi crown prince mohammed bin salah for the killing of journalist to mount sharp. and from baby powder to baby vaccines pharmaceutical giant johnson and johnson says it plans to test its private 19 vaccine on infants. and young people with the support of the latest on the so-called balsa gates also notice former club president just. a sprint to murder in jail in a city free to judge him to say those details coming up later in the hour. now $279.00 schoolgirls kidnapped more than 4 days ago in nigeria have been freed the students of a government run school in the northern state of zamfara regains their freedom after 4 days of tense negotiations a major supports now from closeout in zamfara stage. they arrived at war.

their way into the office of the governor exhausted and some too sick to walk. their serve meals in an office where normally cabinet meetings are held. with their 1st decent meals in days they gathered the strength to tell us what happened saying it doesn't. they drove us like animals some of us were falling and getting injured they made us trek for 2 to 3 hours and spent the 1st 2 days in the camp they pushed us forward threatening to kill anyone who refused to move despite the blisters on our feet they forced us to walk further into we reach the 2nd and then the 3rd camp the $279.00 students like kidnapped while they were sleeping in their boarding school dormitories in the town of jungle in circumstances similar to the kidnapping of more than 270 goes in she broke into into 14 this

man a former bandage says he left several others to help bring the goals back. we met and told them we came in peace to leave with the girls who for no fault of theirs found themselves in such a situation they also spoke about their grievances and why they took the girls it was a long difficult process full of tension but we also came ready and prepared for the unforeseen. the ghose have now been taken to a secure location for medical examinations before they are reunited with their families but that hasn't stopped excited parents like the one who is mine to get close to where they are. my joy is indescribable i called my wife to tell her the girls are back i haven't seen my daughter but i'm relieved she's back the past 4 days were traumatic now we can afford to eat sleep and smile the governor of them for a state has offered amnesty to gunmen who said and insists dialogue with the bandits will continue despite the pitfalls.

for the government. so we're going to continue with the course not all of them that . the kidnapping of these goes on friday came i was before the release of another set of students kidnapped in central nigeria there's an attack is a 6 school kidnapping in northern nigeria in recent years where the girls back attention is now shifting to the future of education with schools continuously being targeted especially in northern part of nigeria there are fears that the region which has the highest rate of poverty may fall even father behind it's not clear if this goes will have the courage to return to school or even if their parents allow them to return but for now they're happy to enjoy their freedom

hoping the government will do more to protect them. on al-jazeera team is in the town of course. as you has a minute is there who joins me now live on that just how do we know what do we know about how the gaza during now and. particular secure location we're talking about in the pocket the we saw a medical team drive into the residence and we understand from what officials are telling us that they are looking after the ghost one by one they are expected to rest and do the medicals before they are reunited with their families already we understand that some families are coming from going to be 2 which is 2. hours drive from from and in preparation of meeting to meeting these girls who are

currently resting in that particular location and it looks like for those we spoke to really really happy that they go back they feared the worst could have been they be moved to other locations maybe across the border in tunisia which makes it difficult to recover them. as me so i know packets their government officials obviously very quick to claim credit for this that i know they've been under increasing pressure to try to deal with the security situation not only in the region but also beyond. absolutely when this when the kidnapping happened. on friday morning there was an order from the president that the security forces should recover this goes and the governor of some sort of state who had been conducting some form of negotiations with the armed groups or armed men in the region said he wants dialogue to continue the president insisted that the time for dialogue is over but the government actually continued with the

process of dialogue now the fear for any form of a type by the military during the kidnapping. incident was there could be could actually damage innocent children could be killed if there is any exchange of fire between them and the kidnappers so be done the process was allowed to continue and those leading. repentant the people that call repentant but it's the former brandis was certain that their weapons took up the amnesty program of the state government they led the operation in terms of go in between the government and the and that's how over the course of 3 or 4 days the former bundy told me they were able to convince these people that they have no reason to hold this goes because they have nothing to do with their grievances with the government and that interest there on the ground for us in zamfara state with all the latest thank you so much on that one on moving on and security forces and cracking down

even further on protesters 2 days after the bloodiest day yet since the military there are reports that live rounds of been fired in the northwestern town of kalak . this was the scene and yang gone where as you can see there have been street battles between the police and demonstrators on tuesday and that's all despite the use of increasingly violent tactics to disperse the crowds at least 18 people were killed on sunday well tony chang is monitoring the situation for us from bangkok and neighboring thailand chinese we've been saying despite this crackdown we've been watching people are still pouring into the streets and even now more live rounds are being used it doesn't seem to be deterring them. indeed we saw the live rounds being used in color medics there reporting the 4 people who were admitted to hospital with bullet wounds it does seem to be used selectively we've seen that used in dari young gone in the last couple of those but

. it's hard exactly to know where the military are going to deploy live rounds and how much they will they're certainly not using them overwhelmingly in every place every day but i think what the goal is is to give the protesters the impression of fear that if they go onto the streets they will be risking their lives and we've seen a rather dreadful number losing their lives in the last few days i think you know people have talked about this escalation we saw it on saturday when the security forces came out and instead of just putting up with the protesters they very actively charge the tried to scare them off the streets and we've seen that escalated every day we sort in dar way today down in the south as well and so the to the east in tommy in shan state where more than 60 people were detained in mandalay the 2nd city in march in the center of the country the security forces

were setting up checkpoints checking people's social media on their phones and if they were found to have anything on social media that was critical of the military or support of these protests they were being taken away and i think what we're seeing here is the military again trying to return to those very dark days in the eighty's ninety's early 2000 when there was this terrible feeling of fear all across the country where people would just disappear where the jails were packed with with dissidents that is how i think they intend to try and stop these protests the problem is they're turning back the clock to a very tough time and i think the rest of this region and the rest of the world frankly is looking. horror and hoping that these this situation doesn't even further because bad as it is no has the potential to get much worse antone speaking of the rest of the world we have been seeing international pressure clearly

building will be bring you more from the missing that is ongoing today later on in this news hour thank you very much tony well as young leaders as i've been saying have been meeting to discuss that situation in myanmar jessica washington has the latest from jakarta. so about some of the points that. other countries raised during this meeting but we know that indonesia has been at the forefront of trying to organize these meetings between foreign ministers and trying to organize some sort of meeting at the in the end it ended up being a virtual meeting between ministers. and all the countries have stressed for this process is that this meeting does not confer any sort of legitimacy on the military it is not showing any support but this is the start of a dialogue and the start of normalizing the situation. we know that indonesia has been the biggest advocate in the on. democratic transition to

some of the stated aims we heard from the foreign minister. is that the safety and welfare of the people should be at the forefront the. humanitarian access and that should stand ready to assist in the process. also political prisoners should be released and that violence should come through and she condemned the violence on the military she also stressed that the family that there is an opportunity for this organization to prove that it has a role to play in. disputes such as this but that can only happen if me and is willing to open the door now she said that this has to be a dialogue that the democratically elected leaders of me and to have a role in that process as she said ready to facilitate the process of

normalizing the democratic transition in me and but that me and my house to make that make allowances for that to happen in the 1st place so it is a long process ahead you know the foreign minister of. depends what they say and that will really dictate when the house again will have a unified approach to combating this crisis. all the other wild news and there's a growing pressure on new york governor andrew cuomo to resign after a 3rd woman accused him of inappropriate behavior on a rock who worked in the white house during the obama administration says the cuomo touched her face and back and asked to kiss her after meeting at a wedding reception 2 other women have already accused him of sexual harassment of president joe biden's administration has sidestepped any direct action against saudi crown prince mohammed bin salma and that's despite a u.s. intelligence report on friday revealing his involvement in the murder of jon.

al-jazeera israel and jordan reports. 3 days after the bike net ministration declassified an intelligence report on the murder of journalist jamal. 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 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 it 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 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 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 humanitarian 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 know. other $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 is preventing food medicine and essential goods including fuel from getting into yemen that you under a solution needs to be changed so it's inclusive fair and just by the administration specifically needs to stop linking the iran negotiation 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 jamal khashoggi

as murder rosell in jordan al jazeera while the united nations secretary general says he's disappointed by the outcome of a global donor conference for yemen and on your terrace says that event roughly raised about $1700000000.00 u.s. dollars that's less than the hoff what the u.n. was asking for a dramatic has it james bays reports out from new york for weeks the u.n. has been warning that yemen's dawn humanitarian situation is on the verge of becoming the worst time in any way in decades today i mean is bearing down on yemen. the race he's on if we want to prevent handgun and starvation from thinking millions of lives to avert humanitarian disaster the secretary general convened a pledging conference to raise almost $4000000000.00 but while big donors did give money in most cases they actually reduced their contributions from

a year earlier in the past the countries fighting as part of the coalition in yemen saudi arabia and the united arab emirates gave the most this year their contributions were down to the head of the world food program warned that out of the $3850000000.00 that the un wanted there was an absolute bare minimum needed to stop a famine but wait 9000000000 just over. $100000000.00 per month to have 4 kids but in the end instead of $1900000000.00 they got $1670000000.00 the un's emergency relief coordinator read out a statement from the secretary general showing his frustration the best that can be said about today is that it represents a downpayment i thank those who did pledge generously and i ask others to consider again what they can do to help stave off the worst famine in the well to

seen in decades. the message from the u.n. to doda countries is pretty clear frank you for your money but it's not enough and we're going to come back to you to ask for more otherwise there's going to be a massive famine in yemen. at the united nations well there's plenty more ahead few this news out intruding mannequins for customers the restaurant owners in the netherlands who are defying coronavirus restrictions. and hundreds killed and thousands displaced allegations of war crimes being committed against civilians and northern mississippi. in sport formula one while champion lewis hamilton reveals why he signed only a one year contract with the sadie's piece and we'll have those details. now u.s. pharmaceutical giant johnson and johnson has confirmed it will test its private

$1000.00 vaccine on children it's also planning to include newborns and pregnant when and it's expanded trials johnson and johnson's vaccine is the only single dose job in the 3rd to get approval by u.s. regulators nearly 4000000 doses are now because of it across the country well i spoke to dr sun gyrus and ana yaki he's an associate professor of infectious diseases at australian national university he says it's unclear how essential the vaccination of children will be in slowing the spread of the virus. certainly kovac 19 for reasons we're still trying to write this and it may be because children have less ace to receptors in their body than adults and 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 the us data probably about 5 out of every $10000.00 children who get car of it will die

which is very unfortunate but still a bit of a very low level and if you break that down further it tends to be older children so since c.d.c. data from the us found that about the median age of 121 children who died from code was 16 in the u.k. from very small numbers from early last year 3 out of 4 deaths were in children over the age of 10 so you might want to target in terms of vaccination all the children and the other thing we know is that children who've got co-morbidities a chronic conditions are more likely to die than those who don't so you might also even target younger children with a chronic medical condition even if the children are vaccinated we don't know if they will necessarily stop track that will stop transmission the rest will try to work that out in the adult backs a native population it probably will have a big impact but we're not quite sure so i suspect until we were 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 with the kind of it. well in the netherlands thousands of restaurant and cafe owners into southern cities are preparing to open their doors in defiance of a lockdown pubs and restaurants were closed back in october since then the dutch government has imposed more restrictions to try to control the spread of a new more contagious code 1000 variant but some business owners until bergen breda are saying they've had enough and will open their outdoor terraces and they do face the threat of large fines. bason is in the dutch city of breda forest said this really isn't the 1st time that we've been seeing resistance to these restrictions and the evidence isn't. everything right you know exactly we saw some of very back then violent riots just a few weeks ago the worst riots in the balance of the boston 14 years that there were demonstrating protesting against the nighttime curfew at the moment that they

are protesting against the lockdown as you can see this quite a crowd here behind me gathering seeds like this though and that makes here and that madeline's while in reality infections are still high and they're still a lot of concern to you so variants coming from other countries to start a government it's very strict that saturn you know all the winning bars restaurants all cafes. some lifting our 1st record store hairdressers and some auto shops but this is all just we are really in defiance they have opened up earlier they put the oldest chairs and tables on people on the terraces they have been serving drains police has. asked everyone to leave but there's no 2 response to that request so far in another city also entailed after world. open but there they didn't want to risk a fly in a 4000 euros so they decided to put my mics and dogs instead of people in the and

this is happening all over the map and also not a town shops are open concert i mean longer we have been closed for 6 and some even for 9 months there is some compensation from the government but they say it's not enough step in middle of the i'm going to bed we are seeing around the lockdowns how all the numbers are actually looking is the country getting on top of the pandemic and all the lockdowns helping. with. the problem is that the magnets actually acted quite late to the government. the so-called intelligent lockdown in the beginning to get people to take their own responsibilities that actually has led to a very serious 2nd wave then only off of that in october november the government no other choice but to have a very serious lock down which is actually happening until now the government also says despite the fact that the figures are not going up drastically as they were worried about their still warning about this 3rd wave of this variant coming into

the country like what we're seeing in the u.k. so i've got to restrict at the moment so you know we understand your frustration and of course it's a sunny day people really can't stay inside any longer it's very clear that people are all getting frustrated so it's going to be harder for the government to control the situation but until now they insist they want to maintain this lockdown steadfast and they're on the ground for us in brega with those protesters thanks so much step of germany is set to extend its national lockdown until march 28th but some restrictions will be eased early and chancellor angela merkel will discuss those options with the leaders of the federal states on wednesday the country has now been under lockdown since november so far reported more than $2000000.00 cases and at least $70000.00 deaths and over in france it's health minister says people over the age of 65 with health complications and now in

recalibrate the relationship with riyadh. and security forces and myanmar cracking down against protesters 2 days after the bloodiest day yesterday on where there are reports that live rounds were used in the northwestern town of. well staying with our top story on myanmar leaders have been meeting to discuss the situation in that country mizuki shastri is an associate fellow in the asia pacific program at the foreign affairs think tank chatham house he joins us now from dubai the suki the block itself was founded on the principle of noninterference but we're hearing some really strong statements from some of the members some but not all so what are their options here. yes i think this is a game changer for yon as you noted they've never interfered in domestic affairs of member countries before but i think actually on the credibility on the line i think they are invested in the democratic process in man bar to her surgeon part of the

investment from the rest of southeast asia and i think of him leaders and he'll be a primarily talking about individual singapore and malaysia at this point in time i think this strongly believe that a country that started school before november is the only way to place me on my back on the bulk of political and economic stability now in terms of options obviously the me and my general are going to be looking at thailand i think they really look at thailand's guide to democracy as a potential model for themselves they'd be looking further afield but china for support very difficult to see what kind of additional pressure the foreign ministers can bring on me and modern by the double actually lead to a change in behavior you mentioned the reason that i see a form of indonesian foreign minister saying that this whole moment of another missed test fast but it has been through several before right including in the case of the russians

a crackdown on missile on myanmar so how do you assess that it's holding up now as a bloc. i think many members about c.n.n. that think the can include malaysia indonesia and singapore probably as forming the core of the grouping at this point in time i think the patient is reading 10 i think many of them but the pm barefaced what happened with the rain just the fact that bastion was unable to come up with a coordinated cohesive response and this is really the final straw on the back what happened drunk from sochi what happened to the democratic process so i think they're really going to be pulling together i'm an interesting thing to watch is read the section of us you. look towards the united states for running support in really bringing pressure on the generals. to bring back and ratify the november election but you know in terms of the united group. really rallying together and putting pressure on under general that appears

unlikely because going on wonderfully vietnam cambodia from the peeing and indeed thailand ratifying any action taken by these 3 countries when you talk about pressure on the generals is the very act of engaging in talks with the military agenda which is obviously what afghan is doing is that something that could not just unwise to kill itself. well i mean they're clearly unlikely at this stage it could have legitimize the cool early days it was to go on that have gone to a doctor in the bonded together and working merely trying to gather information from the from the general i think the statements coming out of can singapore in jakarta very clear they want to return to. a democratic transition that's a good pm on likely the big one before and they're going to ratify everything that had happened in myanmar contributed focused on the violence seems to be getting but

you mention the status quo the crowds obviously still coming out into the streets despite the fact that they're sometimes being met with live bullets do you think it's perhaps too late now for afghans to try to negotiate a return to the status quo will the protesters be satisfied with that will they want mall. no i think you know the intervention is absolutely necessary na not only from up here on what we're talking about the international community has been talking about your up to us united nations mainly because there is a bit is a charm but this while in school get out of control of the army can be even more brutal than they've been in the last few weeks so in order to prevent. a repeat of what happened in 1999 when the army brutally suppressed popular protests against the army at the time international community really have to intervene and then as the frontline state has a critical role and then shouldering the but does

a brutal action but the army stopped it and not now even beyond the co and what we're seeing in the streets there are a number of unresolved issues still in yemen especially when it comes to minorities for instance in chad was shared border how destabilizing do you think this could be for the region and for the block itself especially if no one can agree. more than me and my have had to be done stable since independence. there's. you know any number of insurgent groups fighting put autonomy fighting for independence from the majority community so this will mean the reality of the country has experienced with another 6 and 7 decades but the question about was as we go into words a possible they were shifted political settlement which will not allow civilian grew to be restored is the possibility of the international community have some leverage for example for the return of the ruling drug sort on and great project

camps in bangladesh some kind of settlement with the other insurgency groups and really this is the probable democratic solution in granting motor tanami to many of these problems is where there are insurgencies so you know if the international community is willing to take a coordinated comprehensive approach in bringing all of these issues bringing all the rock back by the bin virgin group together on the negotiating table or does the possibility for long term 2nd so even within crisis a potential opportunity that the city shastri from chatham house really great take you inside john out of there thanks for being with us thanks for having me. on and the stance of national says war crimes are being committed in mozambique snow then covered alcott a province and a new report the rights group says hundreds of people have been killed there since 2017 as documented extrajudicial executions human rights violations and

me ask you that about the civilian population something like one quarter of the population i believe is currently displaced from their homes what i conditions like there on the ground at the moment don't conditions are not boot because they have been sent out from they have to leave their houses and they land and what they have said to me in the last 3 years and 3 months ago i was resisting some of these camps and people told me look riyadh now slaves because we have left there were no land or houses and were mosques the places where we have our. you know are there and at this moment we are. dependant of the old americans of the land where we have been settled and generally people don't like or settlement and we know from the mozambican experience and their experience all over the world
