i'm going to. be such a. good subscriber and more news like this. this is deja vu news live from berlin the u.s. blames the saudi crown prince for the murder of journalists. a newly declassified intelligence report says prince mohammed bin selma probably approved the operation to kill shot in the saudi consulate in istanbul also coming up. nigeria suffers another mass abduction the man who kidnapped hundreds of

schoolgirls i mean so i'm going to treat launch a joint rescue operation. and hope for holidaymakers europe's leaders agree on a vaccine pons force to ease travel restrictions the scheme could be in place by the something. on pablo foley s welcome to the program u.s. intelligence says saudi crown prince mohammed bin salman probably approved the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi the biden administration has released a report written at the time of the killing in 2018 but never made it public the crown prince is always denied any involvement in the saudi government has rejected the assessment the u.s. has imposed sanctions on an elite savvy unit. an old report making

new headlines it was originally suppressed by the trumpet ministration but 3 years later its declassified its conclusions clear for the world to see u.s. intelligence says it's largely that saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin solomon ordered the capture or killing of journalist jamal khashoggi the. pentagon is pulling no punches saudi arabia remains a strategic partner in the region. we have to be courageous enough. as friends to speak candidly and. and to make clear our concerns. about the rule of law and about civil and human rights even with friends and partners. the report doesn't detail any new evidence but stresses the crown prince is control of decision making he has always denied knowing about the plot. showed he was lured to the saudi consulate in turkey where he was

killed and dismembered by a team sent from riyadh the saudi government eventually admitted to killing but blamed it on a rogue security team. the public naming of muhammad bin solomon as complicit in the killing will set a new tone for the relationship between washington and riyadh but bought in administration has imposed sanctions on dozens of saudi officials to stop short of targeting the prince. let's bring in deja vu correspondent. in washington. hi oliver and president joe biden chose not to suppress this highly critical report on a u.s. strategic ally what does that tell us about his administration's stance on saudi arabia and crown prince mohammed. it's important point that out the report is not new it was actually already finished quite some

time ago and then withheld by the trump administration congress at the time altered this report to be published but trump ignored the ruling by congress he had a very friendly position towards saudi arabia here in particular looking at the arms sales the united states is exporting arms to saudi arabia joe biden wants to review this relationship and other relationships between the united states and other countries in the middle east so saudi arabia is one of the us is closest allies and that the by the ministration is now accusing the saudi crown prince or of the washington post journalist jamal khashoggi that will certainly have big implications for their relationship whatever you mentioned that they're at the relationship of course they've announced that they're recalibrating it with saudi arabia and also they've announced sanctions that the pentagon says the kingdom remains a strategic partner do we know what all of this means going forward well

certainly as you pointed out saudi arabia is one of the closest allies of the united states in the region so it's very important for the u.s. to maintain that partnership they need saudi arabia for their policies in the region just look at iran where the biden president biden wants to re enter of the nuclear deal so that's one of the adverse series of course they are in that middle east region and that is also one of the reasons why crown prince mohammed bin someone has not been targeted directly by sanctions no it's a big change from the trumpet ministration is this a precursor for other shifts in u.s. foreign policy under president by. well president biden made that very clear one of the quotes he said very often in recent days and weeks is that diplomacy is back he always keeps saying america's back diplomacy expects well

we'll certainly see a different style here in foreign policy but as i pointed out trumbull is very close to saudi arabia looking at arms and arms deals so joe biden will review that he will take a tougher stance and saudi arabia also said that he will look into of the arms sales and perhaps. cut that down biden wants to rejoin the nuclear deal that was a position that is really quite interesting with president biden he almost launched airstrikes on the iran so you see a more moderate shift here in the middle east policy under president biden all over sort of in washington good to see him thanks syria has condemned u.s. airstrikes on its territory as cowardly washington says targeted facilities used by iran backed militias president joe biden ordered the strikes in retaliation for an attack against u.s. personnel in iraq syrian authorities say at least 17 people were killed and insists

the u.s. has broken international law it's the 1st major military action taken by the ministration here is the u.s. secretary of defense lawyer dostum. with property you have a target that whatever we go you get. your work property that for you will read you. close are you sure evolution good good good good good good destroyed. westernised to some of the other stories making news this hour a british born woman who left the u.k. as a teenager to join the so-called islamic state in syria contra turn to reclaim her citizenship the government revoked. nationality at the station she wanted to contest but the supreme court decided her return would pose a national security risk. an attack in afghanistan has targeted the family of

the european union has agreed to develop a covert 19 vaccine passports that could allow people more freedom to travel again in time for the summer tourism season it was one of the measures for debate a virtual so much of a unique hers 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 to vaccine passport to enable more tourists to flock to their locations but german chancellor angela merkel says politicians may still need a while it is definitely right to plan this for the future but it shouldn't mean that you need one to travel the political decisions will 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 are noninfectious when asked to give if

that's a given that there will be no reason to restrict basic freedoms and we have to return that is very clear we shouldn't raise false hopes and we should appeal to people's sense of solidarity so that they follow the social distancing rules we simply don't know yet how long immunity will last after vaccination is. no longer just travelling virtually but really crossing borders the tourism sector is pinning its hopes on the digital id as a passport back to profitability. for you last september we made suggestions to the federal government for a test concept for travel still isn't one we should be moving more quickly and not have to wait another 4 months for digital passports. the european union says developing this kind of passport could take 3 months months during which travel dreams will keep on growing. in the bundesliga vetter brain and hosted frankfurt managed to upset the visiting

a plane or we cried and our children cried with us and they wept in front of us so i think just the shooting started while we were eating and we just had to leave. him alone in. their home in ethiopia has seen almost 4 months of fighting between local rebel forces and the ethiopian military the latter allegedly receiving support by eritrean troops gaining an accurate picture of events in tikrit has been difficult to impossible journalists have been blocked from entering the region phone and internet services were at times cuts completely and humanitarian organizations have struggled to get in. in early december un human rights chief michel basher lay said there is an urgent need for independent monitoring of the human rights situation in the t cry region for all necessary measures to protect civilians and for accountability for violations that came about 2 weeks too late for this woman and some 800 others

in ethiopia's holy city of axim that's how many people are thought to have died in an alleged massacre near an ancient orthodox church a recent investigation by the associated press found that the perpetrators were soldiers from neighboring eritrea and a new report by amnesty international backs this up the human rights group says it's collected evidence that ira trained soldiers went on a rampage and acts i'm on the 28th of november after an earlier attack on them by a small group of rebel fighters near st mary's church witness accounts describe them roaming the streets and shooting at fleeing civilians with automatic weapons and precision rifles i saw the people being shot on the ground when they were running approximately 10 people or more all of them young men everyone was scared and run away. eritrea's government has denied its forces were involved in any massacre after the a.p. investigation was published the country's information minister called the story

a horrendous lie relevant ethiopians to chew sions had long ascertained the us a fallacy of the story he posted on twitter fighting in t. cry is said to be ongoing and it will be hard to verify what really happened in axum and late november but in light of amnesty international's new allegations the eritrean government may face pressure questions about its involvement in this bloody conflict that's playing out away from the eyes of the world. and we've invited amnesty international into the program to talk more about the organizations places reports on to cry for say a takeaway is the ethiopia horn of africa researcher for the organization welcome to news africa. say in the report that it will train troops is alleged massacre off civilians into cry may amount to war crimes tell us more and actions that what happened on 20 it's entry into names of nobody better was my 2nd actually i

opportunities for those they leave behind now in a moment i'll be talking to an author who's written on the experiences of african plays living abroad but 1st here's the story of joe from kenya who set up a foundation to help kids back home with life on and off the pitch. in the. difficult place i lived pretty close to the dumpsite walking distance didn't. we if. just for the next 3 to so we used the plastic bags probably from the garbage to make. nowadays johannes is a pro footballer in europe for the last 14 years the kenyan international has played in belgium luxembourg and turkey but a mother who has not forgotten his roots despite his time abroad. they don't want to talk about it don't want to go back because they said it's. bad for me i'm

proud of where i come from it's wrong for that's why i really want to give back so i'm going for me and it's a lot of kids when i see all this here i think i'm saying right mind is why can't i have this in you know in 10 in 2017 i'm almost set up a foundation in his hometown he established a football academy close to the dumpsite the academy helps local children hone their skills they dream of following in a mall those footsteps. i wouldn't want to play in the premier league league or syria. i thought as long as i'm able to help the people back in the ghetto. compared to europe there are not enough quality academies for players in the crucial age bracket of 12 to 16 this academy aims to develop a better infrastructure a competitive league in kenya can help many earn a living. johannah tries to give the kids

a new perspective to seek their fortunes back home he tells them you are not successful only if you go to europe. to build the quarterback or because if we do it there is a big. part of the skis who will make it who are on their lives you know i did have them here but the difficulty is that when they see you here they think you know what you have there and do read it. in january johannah signed a contract and turkey's 1st division with room in easton on a totally new chapter of his life as an african footballer in europe has just begun . and i'm joined by. he is the author of a book titled african football is in europe migration community and give back behavior as our description of the book is that it shines new light on contemporary migrations labor markets and sports and prices ease off development in africa

welcome to news africa and so you researched how african football players in europe contributes to their countries of origin what did you find basic thing for me according to these players that like to give back as that might judge he said of the overnight to give back however far they have moved this indication which outstrips the chances of investments. all right i know that part of the process was that you interviewed a former and current african professional player in europe what were some of your takeaways from from from those interviews and perhaps share with us some of the the play is that you spoke to. thing to talk about maybe billy stephan by gene yeah yeah boy i seek out we're not under any of wot. nor. victor why am i not. made it clear

that it is good for african players to play for hire a part of the issue try to combine with education in the sense that i want to be able to combine with education this will help them to make good decisions in terms of investment for the future and this is what is the overall take away off this phenomenon of african football is to any professional and we saw it in the report that we just played a young man going back even back to the community just what is the overall take away also from the research that if that. that clears where convenes. having gone through so many challenges alone the hour with the thing that is this bet that the young ones and potential coming to she do good kitchens us the outlaw saved if that's why their right to dream or do is seem to be working for africa and especially the west african continent and so for me this mother should be the one

that most of that stretch out on me to try and follow her advice there's also been need for status to also look at that transitional analyses where some of these african list of some areas of the challenges that they have to deal with the courts are foreign standard food or language and then they're reeses johns and lowliness when they get to the new release of work as there is. going to play a professional or they have been included to. freshen up this work is being in riyadh working on this and very soon our power come out on how we can and now days. before the decision to leave professional. ok that's. helpful at team to see what you come up with your next faith and it's thank you. thank you very much. and that's it for now because milan deja

where many business owners have encouraged their employees to take part in pro-democracy rallies but they're wondering how long they can hold on. this is the business i'm to know them on have to you can join us. president joe biden's 1.9 trillion stimulus package is set to pass the house sending it to a senate vote as early as next week the building clue to another round of a one time payments to millions of americans and expansion of jobless benefits as well as additional aid to state and local governments to combat the pandemic democrats are trying to beat a march 14 deadline when the most recent round of emergency unemployment benefits expire. now our financial correspondent. joins us now from new york he ends up while everyone is clear on the need for age

lawmakers are divided as to whether it should be as big as it is why is the. you know well definitely i mean the builds are just getting bigger and bigger and bigger we hit this 1st states pick it last spring in the amount off around to 2 trillion dollars followed by another 8 pick it shortly before christmas in the amount of $900000000000.00 and now there will be another almost 2 trillion dollars on top of it to the us one called certain specially also with the debt load increasing in the country and then also especially some republican lawmakers are criticizing that some people might be making more money and not working than working but it's true that you could also say oh well maybe we should discuss if a lot of americans are just not getting paid enough but it's and in general really the amount and if the program if the package will really change the fundamental challenges in the country when it comes to affordable housing for instance or also

is for for wages for all americans well speaking of getting paid enough a key sticking point of course is the language around the minimum wage hike well more can you tell us you know well i mean it would be the 1st time in more than a decade that the minimum wage would increase from $7.25 to about $15.00 not from one day to another but over a period of 3 to 4 years but actually there was a ruling of senate parliamentarian and that ruling basically says that the minimum wage cannot be included in the aid package but what likely might teflon is that the senate might actually vote on a different picture package than the house might approve and so that bill from the senate would go back to the house of representatives so that actually can take some time and minimum wage might be a topic that actually has to be dealt with at

a later point very much to the displeasure of most democrats yes carter there for us i hope he gets paid enough thank you for your reporting this week. and staying with corona virus impact from telecommuting to video conference is the pandemic has certainly changed the way we work and it's also accelerated the drive for automation and artificial intelligence like it or not many of these changes will likely remain even after the pandemic is over. robots have long been used for dirty dangerous or repetitive work but now the pandemic is pushing automation rapidly into other fields the president of swiss engineering firm a.b.b.'s robotics says in the long run automation will boost productivity and job creation. you know you crease your productivity and then yes in the end is there awnings of that

specific. factory to have more density of robots but activity goes up so you have to just see groups you have indications you have service business and multiple other areas that sarong the robot so the human being can do much more creative or a.b.b. is developing what it calls robots which cooperate with people while learning through . they are particularly useful in logistics but have been rolled out in new fields 2 to covet 19. in health care during the pandemic we were helping multiple multiple across them as among the world increasing productivity for example the singaporean helpless or it was able to do $50000.00 coral not tests per day are based on 50 robots that we have supplied to them and also there you reduce the exposure of humans to 2 to the virus and unnecessary in

or health risks so multiple new places that robots will enter and i tell you also the the pandemic has actually accelerated many of these trends however a report this month by consultants mckinsey says automation is taking over jobs where humans were once regarded as indispensable jobs which involve a high level of face to face contact. that includes customer service health services and the care sector mckinsey says the pandemic has accelerated this shift robots are helping solve problems in the pandemic but could the rollout of automation be going too far. now the covert pandemic has pushed automation much faster than it might have come otherwise earlier i asked susan lund of the mckinsey global into to it whether the world's labor force was ready for the. well the pentagon created a lot of changes that i don't think anyone was ready for but one of the things

we're seeing is that companies have to respond quickly and technology help them do that digital technologies like e-commerce as well hands robotics and a young i help them keep their businesses going and that's going to continue to have long lasting impacts on where the jobs are going to be in the future now can companies be trusted to equip their workforce to adapt to automation instead of simply getting rid of those jobs. well many companies are investing a lot in retraining their workforce to do other things so if you think about in grocery and retail stores when they're shifting to self checkout and they're taking salespeople in and training them to do other things like helping in the delivery department helping customers find what they need so many companies have invested heavily to quickly redeploy what people were dealing into areas that were more

heated but that said there is certainly a role for educators and governments to play as well. now in your report you talk about the decline of low wage jobs what happens to the people who are in those jobs . well what we found is that there are millions of people in low wage jobs today that are going to help just switch occupations if they want to remain employed and that simply because all these technologies accelerated by the pandemic are going to reduce demand for what they're doing now i think there's a potential upside if we can make sure that there are short term training programs available to me in career people to make a switch into a better paying job with a poorer career trajectory that would be a really big movement lessen inequality of course if we don't do that though we what we risk is that many people that left the labor force during the pandemic never come back and that could worsen inequality and social tensions that was susan

learn from the mckinsey global institute now to some of the other global business stories making news. the u.s. food and drug administration is expected to approve a one dose kovan $1000.00 vaccine made by johnson and johnson for use in the u.s. today the approval would make millions of additional doses available as early as next week it would be the 3rd vaccine approved for the u.s. market door to telecom posted record revenues of more than $100000000000.00 euros last year that's thanks in part to its acquisition of its u.s. rival sprint the extra cash flow is good news for the german telecoms operator it's planning billions in new investment as it expands its global 5 g. network. now nearly a month since the military topple the government of the hundreds of thousands of people are still protesting among them business owners and their staff but while they believe in the movement it's getting harder to stand themselves and their

employees here's the story of one businessman. hundreds of thousands of peaceful protesters have taken to the streets of myanmar's largest city young dawn in recent weeks they risk their life because soldiers have sometimes open fire on them it's becoming expensive for a businessman who may or whose company exports dry chili peppers and spices to japan during the political unrest he has seen sells drop more than 60 percent so this current situation really really affected our business in the short or long term in the short term as the consumer buying power would drop. and also i would guess for little or leventhal and also ban transaction have a restriction and also the transport if you know the roman t. have have been difficulties to nao fears the situation is unlikely to

improve in the short term he encouraged his employees to join the protests but there's no sign of success on the horizon it's a difficult time for enterprise these who rely on foreign trade especially small companies the businessman now fears he won't be able to pay the salaries of his $40.00 employees. will we be the reason for this pont nor sure for the next 2 or 3 months where we can be the full seller your knowledge of the guardian situations. the value of myanmar's currency the kyats has tumbled and many stores have had to close the q aftermath has taken a toll on the country's economy but the peaceful protests are set to continue until the military agrees to return the civilian government to power. and finally the polka band card series is still going strong as it celebrates its 25th anniversary the craze continues to capture the hearts of children and adults

in bomb is all film gurus scott ross for a scott good to see you so the burly nama is happening online at least we've seen some of the political movies that will be screening but what do you most looking forward to. yeah i mean berlin for me is always a great chance to see the best new german films and as we just heard we've got 4 german films in competition the one i'm most excited to see i have to say is a science fiction movie it's called i'm your man by maria hsia and it stars dan stevens of downton abbey fame i'm here he plays a german speaking love robot who has been specifically programmed to fulfill every need and desire of of intelligent cynical but still quite romantic german scientist so it looks like a bit like a pygmalion tale but it's told from the female perspective maria shriver is really interesting to record she just won an emmy for directing the netflix series

unorthodox so i'm really interested to see what she's going to do with this story dan stevens as a love robot to go see i believe that film not many films this year was made on the extremely difficult conditions now always seeing an impact of the pandemic in the selection of the festival. well in a way yeah i mean there are no films that are specifically about the krona pandemic but looking at this year selection i've seen a lot of very sort of intimate personal stories stories about trying to connect like there's a korean film introduction by saying sue and this is a story of a korean student living in berlin and and her long distance relationship with with her boyfriend and it's a very sort of small intimate story and of course those type of stories are much easier to tell or because of kroner restrictions of course you can't tell big stories at the castle it makes sense that these movies are coming out now but i think i see a connection at least between them and i don't know the longing that i think we all

feel and have felt under lockdown in this sort of desire for connection with with other people it's interesting thanks to the director he had a film premiere in berlin last year that still hasn't hit cinemas now he's got a new one coming out in the festival but of course we still don't know when cinemas are going to reopen it's a true good point the plans to hold a physical festival with red carpets and star of of course the public in june do you think this is going to happen. well i hope so i talk of the festival directors this week and they're still optimistic they can hold some sort of physical festival even if it's just an open air festival and i just really hope that people be able to travel by june because if you're going to have a real sort of berlin festival with a berlin red carpet it be a real shame if the big stars from hollywood couldn't be there to walk down. the

red carpet. plants this summer we'll keep our fingers crossed scots just say it's been always great to work with you always a mind of interesting information many subjects for the last time thanks for being with us. thanks so much robin thanks so much and all the best for your retirement thank you. now one actress not is heather not saying she's already won the german film award and now she's nominated for golden globe for the movie news of the world playing always at the great man himself tom hanks she'll find out on sunday if she wins the gold. what's most extraordinary about all this is she's just 12 years old. i find it really not saying it's right if ya don't win shout but end on my meds they're having me trying to get it. in the western news of the world helena plays the orphan johana lay on balco who has been raised

by a group of kiowa native americans one day she meets captain jefferson kyle kidd played by tom hanks. you understand english determined school girl didn't encounter the american star until shooting had already started. as an obvious get off the 1st time i met him i was in the makeup trailer getting fixed up for the show we were actually supposed to meet later on he just came in and i wasn't prepared at all and he said hello i'm tom hanks and it was so overwhelming overwhelming. to have heard. good. that we have 6 weeks to prepare a new mexico before the show began and then we had another 3 weeks training in the kiowa language an hour and a half every day after school it was really important to me to learn exactly how it worked that they think more in a circle while we think in

a straight line and to learn about their culture did include tools you can certainly handle or one skill helena didn't have to learn was how to ride a horse she's been doing that since the age of 4 on that score she was even quite a bit ahead of her screen partner but she did learn a great deal from tom hanks almost stood up to a good guy he gave me advice like always be punctual know your lines and be nice to everyone and you should always help your screen partner in the last scene for example where we both end up crying he cried during every take just so i'd be able to i thought it was amazing he was able to do that every time his mother but i can play helen already has an impressive acting career behind her she 1st stood in front of a camera at age 5 she landed her 1st lead role in a feature. her film at age 9 early on she tackled some extremely challenging parts . anyhow and made a splash with system crasher impressing audiences with her of raw energy she played

9 year old ben was severely traumatised out of control girl. the drama one critical acclaim in more than 40 awards. and the german film award for best actress went to hell in not saying. helena spent a total of 3 months in the united states to shoot news of the world during that time she became good friends with tom hanks. so what does the future now hold. elements how my ambition is to please myself and the audience just make great movies and maybe have some impact on society with topics like in system crasher plus i'd like to have a star on the walk of fame but i think most important is to keep my feet on the ground and have a really clear idea of what i want to do. the next milestone in helena

career could be a golden globe award on february 28th. sadly i would just like to say goodbye for the very last time 25 years presenting shows here. it's time for me to sign off and i want to take this opportunity to thank all the lovely wonderful people here at d w. c but my what i do possible all the people behind the scenes to whom i will be eternally grateful for all their hard work and professionalism so thank you to them from the bottom of my heart also thank you for watching it will be a bit pointless if you. are not a great so i'm here. leave you with this final thoughts if you've enjoyed it as much as i have. then i've enjoyed it twice as much as you all the best cheerio and a very fun.
