hundreds of nigerian women and girl are now free from captivity. the army rescued them during raid on three boko haram terror camps. the girls abducted last year are still missing. our correspondent joins us now from johannesburg, south africa with details. despite these not being the girls from last year, diana,

this is still a great success. how did the nigerian military pull it off? >> well, errol they were raiding the sambisa forest which they're calling boko haram's last stronghold and where they have holed them self up for most of their campaigns. last week wednesday they tried to go in. but were forced into retreat because boko haram mined the forest. monday they went back in and said they stumbled upon these girls as they were raiding these three terror camps. 200 girls. 93 women they say. and they have now taken them and -- they are screening them, profiling them, presumably to find out first of all who they are, where they call from, where they were taken. and secondly, to gain intelligence from them. as to where boko haram is situations in the large area, the sambisa forest as they continue their sortee through

the area, hoping to find more kidnapped women, children, boys. because remember kidnapping is boko haram's currency. they have as a policy, gone kidnapping young girls, boys, women, hundreds if not thousand of terror groups which the girls from last year of course are a part of. there are so many more who are in captivity. it is a relief of course for their parents though they're nameness, no hash tag. these girls are now free. and hopefully more will be. a major success though there are many kept hostage under boko haram, errol? >> when you look at geography, had to work with allies, fighting boko haram. how much coordination has there been with other military forces. we see that chad, cameroon, sit

right next door to the hot zone of boko harom territory. >> they do. and boko harom operates across the borders. resident in the countries along the areas. niger lost 48 troops last saturday in an attack on an island in lake chad. more than 100 militants were killed. 48 chadian soldiers. there are troop losses on all side. as far as their coordination goes. this is now a multinational joint task force with an au mandate. effectively, they share logistical support and that they tell each other where they're going to launch operations. but as far as we know from from top nigerian security officials that's where it ends. they launch their independent raids. they don't share in tell jeps.

they don't share assets. over the last few months they have made head way against them. it is on the back foot. it is still strong. as the the raid on the island, in lake chad, that it shows, errol. >> makes the point. it is valuable to get nigerian forces on the ground in boko haram territory. there were reports, afraid of the violent tactics of boko haram. this is possible. stumble upon hundred of women and girls, able to rescue them. diana, live, from johannesburg, south africa this morning. thank you. now despite pleas, international pleas for clemency, indonesia executed eight drug convicts by firing squad on tuesday. their body were taken from the prison island, among the eight were two australians. the leaders of the so-called bali nine drug ring.

ambassador has been reported, it is for consultations. the door is left oech in to those, damaged relations to be reconstructed. we have to point out this was not scenario that played out. >> and the president made the point that those who attempt to drug, smuggle drugs to his country will not be tolerated despite the efforts of governments to get their nationals out. that message certainly sent this week. manisha tank live in hong kong. >> one of the prisoners scheduled to die was spared. a domestic worker from the philippines. she claimed an employment recruiter planted drugs in her luggage before she was aelserre. the recruiter, turned herself into police without admitting guilt. a race against time to rescue survivors from saturday's devastating earthquake in nepal. and dr. sanjay gupta visited a
