involvement and blamed what he said were rogue saudi security officials. straits to washington then we'll be joined a d w correspondent on the masonic welcome know all about how deeply it's the crown prince implicated in this murder well this is very damning material fill especially for the saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon also known as m b s this report says that he ordered this murder on the saudi dissident journalist jamal khashoggi it does not come as a big surprise there have been other reports from other intelligence communities from the united nations said jestingly the same about we now have a directly from the u.s. intelligence community and in this report it says that psalm on solid jamal khashoggi is a threat to the saudi kingdom especially for the critical reporting in the

washington post the newspaper he predominantly worked for and that the crown prince backed violence if necessary to silence kushal g m what sort of evidence is presented in this report when most of the evidence is classified and also in this declassified version of this report there is not a lot of evidence of produce there were some details known that stem from the recordings of the killing and the subsequent to this member a man of jamal khashoggi body that material was obtained by the turkish intelligence community that taped the saudi embassy in east i'm cool you and report that was published also was based on these same findings that was not included again in this declassified u.s. report but the report certainly outlined who carried this murder out so donald trump suppressed this report so why has president biden chosen to release it to

especially when it's so highly critical of such a strategic u.s. ally. well that's certainly a very important point and as you correctly say donald trump withheld this report in spite of a you know an order of by the u.s. congress to be published and his administration ignored that. you have to see his position and his policy in contrast to the biden policies for the middle east donald trump was very friendly with saudi arabia it was particularly fond of u.s. arms sales for saudi arabia joe biden wants to review that relationship he wants to review all of his relationships in the middle east saudi arabia as you pointed out as one of the closest allies of the united states and now his that ministration is accusing the sound prince the crowd the crown prince excuse me for being

responsible for the murder on jamal khashoggi that will certainly have big implications for the relationship of the 2 countries ok so we have a report that says the rule of u.s. ally or did a hate what is the white house proposing to do about this we haven't heard from president biden on the issue but the state department has already come out and issuing 76. travel restrictions for saudi citizens so they're banned from entering the united states they were involved in threatening dissidents abroad so you see as strong as a signal there from the state department the treasury department issued some other additional sanctions we also know that joe biden's agenda part of joe biden's agenda is to review the arms sales with saudi arabia but what really stands out here is that the saudi crown prince who's at the center of this report is not part

of the sanctions all of a silence in washington thank you. well turn are some of the other stories making news at this hour will stay in the u.s. and in the middle east and president biden has authorized his 1st military action since taking office the u.s. air force lawyer says strikes in syria against facilities they say were being used by iran backed militia groups syria north or as they say at least 17 people were killed describing the attack as cowardly and the queues the accusingly u.s. of failing to abide by international law. a british born woman who left the u.k. as a teenager to during the so-called islamic state in syria cannot return to 5 decades for citizenship the government revoked bacon's nationality in 2019 on security grounds decision she wanted to contest but the u.k. supreme court has ruled the government has a right to prioritize public safety over her right to a fair trial. thousands of people in armenia have protested demanding the prime

launched a joint search and rescue operation our on the trail of a cube up us. into the forest. as part of our looker. i was part of our cordon. but some parents say if they are blessed to have their girls returned safely they won't send them back to school just over a week ago a student was killed in an assault on a state run school in the town of cook are also in the north west attackers abducted $27.00 children criminals in the region have shifted their targets from wealthy foreigners to schoolchildren and in a rush to rescue students ransoms are often paid the government has been fighting the militant group boko herat which is known for committing similar crimes in the area but for the hundreds of parents waiting for word if their children and praying that they are still alive the government's actions simply aren't enough.

correspondent fred joins us from nigeria's commercial capital and i guess welcome fred tell us more about this attack. thank you. we know that they attacked their school last night around 2 am in the morning but what's more details are now coming coming in. we now know that deport these men on military forces where not even far from this work they're saying that they are post is actually like 5 minutes walking distance but they didn't do anything to to stop the bandits from attacking and taking these girls so that's what we know and then we also know that from now the governor of zamfara state has ordered their closure of all schools in this state which is actually this is

a big success to the boko haram which has been fighting because they don't want people to get education and this is actually a success too even if this attack is actually from the bandits ok so boko haram a jihadist group which has been kidnapping school children they want schools closed but we don't know if this was there or if it was just criminals looking for ransom . and so far we the book has claimed that they're the ones behind this attack but some people actually said that this might be no true but what is a fact is that. the bandits the work of the bandits is actually helping the boko haram because if they are targeting school girls and people young people are going to school this means that the schools have to stop and if the schools stop then this is an achievement for book so far we know that these are the work this is the

work of the bandits but then bookworm claims that they are the ones behind this which we have no reason to doubt that at this moment thank you for that for. us. ok nice and me and mark where there are reports the deposed leader our song searching has been moved from house arrest to an undisclosed location that's likely to further stoke anti coup protesters who've been calling for her release or today police dispersed protests in being last 2 biggest cities firing live rounds into the air deploying stun grenades and rubber bullets injuring at least one person. the protest march was quickly gripped by panic as shots rang out you said you had gone. and witnesses say police fired rubber bullets and stun grenades to disperse the

777 using that type place in germany have arrested 10 people during raids on homes and businesses with suspected links to a mirror nazi network the operation covered 3 states and involved hundreds of officers police suspect the network of involvement in large scale drug trafficking and money laundering. but the european union has agreed to develop a covert 19 vaccine passport that could allow people more freedom to travel in time for the summer tourism season it was one of the measures up for debate at a virtual summit of the e.u. leaders aimed at better coordinating their pandemic strategy summer sunshine and salty air it sounds like paradise but not for the holiday destinations in southern europe that have been hit hard by the pandemic they want a vaccine passport to enable more tourists to flock to their locations but german chancellor angela merkel says politicians may still need to while it is definitely right to plan this for the future but it shouldn't mean that you need one to travel

the political decision still have to be taken. off vaccination is underway but slowly the prospect of a passport already has people dreaming of far off destinations politicians say that there must be proof that vaccinated people unknown infectious. when asked to give in is if that's a given that there will be no reason to restrict basic freedoms and we have to return those that is very clear we shouldn't raise false hopes and we should appeal to people's sense of solidarity so that they fall of the social distancing rules we simply don't know yet how long immunity will last after vaccination is. no longer just shoveling virtually really crossing borders the tourism sector is pinning its hopes on the digital id as a passport back to profitability your home for you last september we made suggestions to the federal government for a test concept for travel in a still isn't one that we should be moving more quickly and not have to wait

another 4 months for digital passports to get. the european union says developing this kind of passport could take 3 months months during which travel dreams will keep on growing well there are lots of ethical considerations about this proposal so let's talk to professor peter de brock about him he's a former chair of the german ethics council of the friedrich's alexander university germany's most important advisory body in the field of ethics welcome to day w do you have any concerns about this idea of vaccine passports. well we are. by that decision and i would like to put my. considerations in the rhetorical questions to how do we frame this decision is it. about. giving back freedom of action to people all do we frame it as an unjustified one treatment and this thing we roll

out to justify how in which direction we run i have a tendency to the 1st direction since the crucial value and norm of all constitutional state is freedom and bodily how to balance it with avoiding discrimination so how do you do that then the justification will be you've got it allows people to travel for tourism or for business or for whatever so how do you do that without discriminating people because the whole point of it is to discriminate against people. or to give backs freedom of action to those who are logs. since this will come true. that do not transmit transmit

the virus so my idea will be if and just under the conditions of the last note transmission of the virus then i think. the best way to balance these 2 values is on the one hand to offer to prepare to organize this vaccination passport and on the other hand old suit to share with all means a strategy for this record tests as and now the means to help people can have access to of the country to events to restrooms and so on and if we go ahead with least 2 strategies then i think we can avoid discrimination and that will be ethical on the one hand to get back freedom and on the other hand 2 point discrimination i think i think we understand that thank you so much for joining us

a professor into the broth chairman of the german ethics council thanks for having me was just getting back some measure of freedom is a big concern here in germany national lockdown measures are in place until march the 7th with federal and state leaders due to meet next week they discuss the next steps the government is urging caution when it comes to easing restrictions amid concerns about a 3rd wave of infection but many people especially business owners are impatient say that when you travel to germany southern state of bavaria. the district of lucille may seem quiet and a delight but it's a coronavirus hotspot the incidence rate here is over $300.00 new infections per 100000 people over 7 days it's not clear when frank zeus' can reopen his rental bike shop he thinks it is not a good idea to wait until the rate has dropped below 35 before relaxing restrictions by then his district could be in dire financial straits.

if the tour because we're structurally weak region it's very important that we're allowed to reopen. its entire large sums of money were invested and risks were taken by many different companies and self-employed individuals to get our region to where it is but now we're all in limbo. stefan gazelle would also like to see light at the end of the tunnel his hotel and spa will probably not be allowed to open for quite some time he believes it would make sense to rethink the vaccination strategy. it is a fun day long that i had not so good for our district councils have demanded that we receive a higher proportion of vaccination doses so that more people can be vaccinated here that would help build a buffer against the risk posed by the high infection rate in the czech republic. and in. and it is only a few kilometers away across the border commuters are considered the main cause of

the high infection rate here many want restrictions to be eased but carefully they monks are. here we know that the border area is a hot spot and have to deal with it accordingly. thank you we need to ease the restrictions very slowly for example regarding schools and kindergartens with a good testing strategy i think that's doable i'll be in your mission today i think we'll have to wait 2 or 3 weeks to see how the mutations will play out here are children in. chances doesn't think the solution can be wait and see he thinks the anti pandemic measures are basically right but says they need fine tuning. we simply have to learn to live with a virus and change our business concept to align with a new conditions. proved to be free and that's our biggest fear is that they'll forget about us and our hotel won't be able to reopen in the near future. our future is at risk if the government doesn't give our region special treatment

what's happening here in bavaria is representative of germany as a whole as people struggle to find the best strategy for easing out of the lockdown . we'll take a look at some of the other developments in the pandemic will start in the czech republic which is recorded nearly $20000.00 deaths one of the highest per capita death tolls around the world and the prime minister has warned that hospitals are heading for a total disaster if infections don't fall. canada's drug regulators approve the astra zeneca vaccine paving the way for health authorities to accelerate the country's slow vaccine rollers and hong kong has started to vaccinate its 7 and a half 1000000 residents prioritize in the sixty's and health care workers last few weeks have been particularly tough on homeless people in the united states on top of the hardships brought on by the pandemic they've also had to deal with extreme cold and snow storms which have swept the country but the government's $1.00

trillion dollars belief package looks set to pass the house of representatives today before being sent to the senate the plan includes significant funding for rent assistance and hose housing for the homeless. a winter search mission in the city center of paterson new jersey volunteers are conducting the annual count of the homeless population. at what bosy leads the evening shift for him this year's count is especially hard. because of covert and we have to have greater social distancing in the shelters the shelters are about 36 percent capacity of normal so obviously there would be more people out on the street now you might find them in the you know in the doorways and stuff like what we've got so much snow on the street right now that probably the normal places that they go they can find now. bosy works for the city hall and is trying to help partisans municipal governments grapple with the rising numbers of homelessness every day he

says the talking it takes on the city's destitute i've never been clean and homeless and. oh i know that's what everybody that's what i tells me that being like almost and sober like there's not even finally today we have. the pentagon on so they good thing to be. bosy war is that the economy fallout from kovac 900 pandemic could push more people into the streets. according to the u.s. census bureau but some 9000000 americans are behind on the rent and at risk of eviction many now depend on help from places like this community kitchen. the eviction moratorium has protected them from landing on the streets during the pandemic but it is due to run out by the end of march. saw him a good 4 months behind you know i didn't pay my rent wholeheartedly and left with

nothing not a dollar probably the worst possible thing that could happen to anyone is to be homeless because there's some people that never were home don't know how to handle but me i wouldn't have a hannah holmes despite the approaching deadline new rental assistance has still not been approved by congress which is currently fighting over to new stimulus package time 3 of the assets you got another 6 weeks to monster for. moratoriums lifted and you'll see all that stress for through in the form of addictions are very city to extend a moratorium and then ideally pride's from the wave runners a whole year. before the moratorium lifted. on the streets of paterson edwards bosy hopes that the money arrives on time and compromise on back rent. right i have people we behind on rent and they're never going to catch up. and defy

a victim. of just getting it probably was behind on his rent you know if somebody came to me as a landlord and say hey i'll give you half the back rent i'd be i'd be happy for that without help soon many more people could be left out in the cold. i'm going to top stories out this hour i think classified u.s. intelligence reporting implicates saudi arabia's crown prince to be trying to murder the journalist jamal khashoggi report says crown prince mohammed bin sounds probably approved the operation to capture or kill mr bush in istanbul. gunmen in nigeria have abducted several 100 school girls for a month boarding school in the north some fatah state where this is a hundreds of armed men attacked security guards before taking the girls. from the european union has agreed to develop a code 19 vaccine possible to ease border crossings on top people more freedom to travel the decision follows a virtual summit up in you'll be. going to get you can always get d.w.
