gunmen forced their way into government girls secondary school in django bay in the country's north west nearby residents say the shooters fired constantly forcing people to cower in their homes the kidnappers took off with more than $300.00 girls police and military have launched a joint search and rescue operation. i was part of our audience. but some parents say that if they're fortunate 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 karbala also in the northwest attackers abducted $27.00 children it reflects a sharp increase in the number of kidnappings in that part of the country usually

for ransom nigeria's security forces are overstretched mostly fighting the militant group boko haram still they promise to do everything possible to find the missing students before the hundreds of parents waiting for word of their children i'm praying that they're still alive the government's actions simply aren't enough. saudi arabia has hit back at us claims that crown prince mohammed bin selman likely approve the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi the biden administration has released a report gathered by intelligence officer his killing in 2018 it was classified until now despite the findings washington has stopped short of imposing sanctions directly on the prints the saudi government says it completely rejects the cia's findings. and old report making new headlines it was originally suppressed by the trump administration but 3 years later its declassified its conclusion clear for

the world to see u.s. intelligence says it's likely that saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin some on order to catch up or killing of the journalists jamal khashoggi. but 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 has control and decision making he has always denied knowing about the plot. was lured to the saudi consulate in turkey there he was killed and dismembered by his team sent from riyadh the saudi government eventually admitted

killing has orgy but blamed it on a rogue security team. the public naming of mohamed bin some man as complicit in the killing will sit in a new tone for the relationship between washington and riyadh. but by an administration has imposed sanctions on dozens of saudi officials but stopped short of targeting the prince. now unlike his predecessor a u.s. president joe biden chose not to suppress this highly critical report earlier we spoke to our washington correspondent all of a salad and we all said what this means for the u.s. administration's stance on saudi arabia moving forward. 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 u.s. his closest allies and that the by the administration is now accusing the saudi crown prince of murder of the washington post journalist to jamal khashoggi that will certainly have big implications for their relationship. syria has condemned u.s. astronauts on its territory as cowardly washington says it 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 birth international it's the 1st major military action taken by the by the administration is the u.s.

and taman reporter jessica lynch sarah jessica thanks for joining us now we we know that lady gaga has dogs have been returned there on the home do we have any idea who kidnapped them as of right now we do not know who hit who kidnapped her 2 dogs but the police say that the incident is remaining under investigation and they're going to continue to fight for justice to make sure that they capture whoever is responsible ok is this something that happens often i mean sort of celebrity dog not taking something that we hear about a lot. and i like this is something that i have never heard of apparently it's dangerous to even go outside and walk your dogs now here in l.a. i never would have see that and is it likely you think that the kidnappers would have known it was lady goggles dogs they were targeting you know that is something

that people are questioning it's possible that maybe they watch ryan this year and they keep a close eye on him they know his route that he takes but french bulldogs are dogs that go for anywhere from $10000.00 there are dogs that go for $100000.00 even so it could be financial reasons it could be breeding reasons or it could be that they didn't know that it was lady gaga but as of right now it's not it's very uncertain ok you mentioned bryan fischer he was of course shocked when the dogs kidnapped how is he now is he in hospital yes he's in the hospital his family came out with the same every single way they said that he is a stable condition and his and drew's were non-life threatening so he's doing much better all right and now great lady gaga had offered to pay hall familia and dollars to get her dogs back the investigation is ongoing you said but do we know if any around some money was paid him and as of right now it hasn't come out if

lady gaga has paid that 500000 but she was very serious when she said that she was willing to pay 500000 she was willing to do really whatever she cried to make sure that she could get her dogs back so i'm sure once they figure everything out she's going to get that money out all right and i think loves her dogs jessica sarah and l a thank you so much for joining us thank you. some sports news now and in the bundesliga about a braman ended and unbeaten run for visitors i'm tough frankfurt very mins 2 to one when is the 1st against frankfurt for 3 years shortly after the break graeme and this tired old governess alessi beat the frankfurt defense to level the game at one all it was the fenders 2nd goal of the season american strike address sergeant netted the deciding goal helping graham and pick up 3 badly needed points this is frankfurt's 1st understood the feat this year.

the latest research says. information and context. coronavirus of the coded. monday to friday. sexual harassment threats affright the murder when it comes to silencing women online trolls have no limits women who voice their opinions freely and regularly are often targeted online hate speech against women and what we can do to fight it our topic today unshift. sadly just being a woman being online and having an opinion is often all it takes to be targeted with online hate speech or sexual harassment in a recent study from the us 33 percent of women aged 35 or younger stated that they

had experienced sexual harassment online before compared to just 11 percent of men in the same age group female politicians and journalists who often publicly voice their opinion or especially at risk one 3rd of all women journalists who have been targeted by hateful online campaign have thought about switching professions what is it like to experience online hate speech and what are the impacts we ask women who speak their mind online i was the target of many. complaints online and i have often been at the receiving end of incessant online trolling from people who disagreed with me on my report so you know it kind of started with the facebook death threats and then it kind of became this massive harassment case where i would get a lot of comments under my article and people would just discuss me on a lie as if you know i didn't exist discuss the many ways of you know how they

would like to rape me or have make you know or you know the things that they would do to me 3 women who have encountered abuse harassment and threats online these experiences have real consequences for the women who are targeted it must be very hard to be resilient and continue to speak up my colleague chaudhry has been working as a journalist for 6. years currently for w. stanley office she's active on twitter and her reports can easily be found online the more she reports on political issues the more she is targeted by online hate speech for fear of being told online there have been times when i have censored my parts and will be many other women journalists in my opinion the online abuse of women in the street should be recognized as an attack on the freedom of speech and expression law enforcement agencies to be sensitized and strengthened enough to identify these threats and take action also newsrooms across the country one's

ability to make women journalists safe and secure wherever they go on reporting the crime as a t.v. reporter many of our children who travels around delhi and the surrounding area recently she's been mostly reporting on the coronavirus pandemic but many have also covers controversial issues her gender still plays a role in how people react. as a woman it's often been made to feel quite conscious of my gender whenever i've been out in the beautiful while traveling to remote areas and reporting assignments i have to ensure that the people i would say that with meet. with access to be friends on probation so i often got to be with myself as well and was traveling with invisible to my boss if you said my live location with a group of friends to my phone so people would know off my bit about. and i have to hide it easier than many other women journalists who plays a barrage of online abuse on a daily basis many of them face death they make this a great present to some media just setting their appeal and the attacks on not just

confined to the online would have been reports of women journalists getting physically and sexually harassed while out and reporting a current example are the firmest protests in india ongoing since 2020 which have also led to violence both online and offline here to women who engage with the issue and more through opinion are specific. attack on line journalists ronna reported internationally about the demands of the striking farmers and ended up being targeted herself. are you busy renowned general asked how wacky treats writing on issues surrounding kateri and violence and political uprisings in india for the washington post and she does not shy away from criticizing prime minister narendra modi. blog criticism of no dijana has been targeted by nationalist induce at the beginning of february she posted this on twitter the kind of hate massaging me threats abuse i have seen on my timeline in the last 2 days is

something i have never witnessed before this is not intimidation i don't know what it was this tweet to unleash another round of online harassment reactions ranged from cartoon death threats to calls behind to leave the country. one week later run out a you spoke up about the hate speech being directed at. some days about others unbearable in the last few days the death rate threats the abuse extended towards my family has been tiring and traumatizing online hate speech has very real impacts on consequences on people's lives that extend far beyond the internet near opt out allow works for ignas asians like women in news and the arab foundation for freedom and equality in lebanon as a journalist she's been targeted by aggressive online complaints before she says online hate speech is being used to teach a cli as a way to silence women so one way that is common also with other countries of the

word so im going to take women journalists all contra whatever day or doing or from stating an open unit is online harassment and unfortunately it's working for a lot of the time because we do not have offices and we do not have a system but that's women so since we do not have a system the line harassment is. usually succeeding in silencing or intimidate equipment. the global need to move encouraged women around the world to speak out about online harassment many women realized that the online abuse they faced was not an isolated incident now they're supporting each other in taking on hardline troll. women are supporting women they've supported each other long before but now it's it's out there it's open from what i see on social media from what i see even on the streets during revolutions the support

between women women is getting much bigger and for one reason the awareness i don't get asked men is becoming bigger in society and that more women are encouraged to speak and these women will start to be the solicitor to speak will encourage other women to speak so the main the main support comes from women themselves this is also the case with indian journalists. she receive support primarily from other women journalists around the globe. one up front that i have supporters on twitter is absolutely bulla who told us about receiving death threats on facebook the azerbaijani journalist has been reporting on conflicts between azerbaijan and armenia and turkey she's been attacked online multiple times and one point the constant online abuse forced her to take a break i have to deactivate my instagram account i have to deactivate my facebook account and i have to watch my twitter account to limit the i have my twitter

because there was a system i think coming from the app or everywhere. taking a break from the internet can be a good way to gain some distance from the abuse because hate speech can make you ill psychologically and physically but it's not always possible for women to just ignore the online world this is especially true for female politicians a study by amnesty international india states that the more visible a politician is the more abuse she receives the human rights organization had analyzed tweets directed at $95.00 indian female politicians and found that every 7th message was offensive or abusive a german news magazine recently found that 64 percent of women in the german parliament have been targeted by hate speech most of it online and in europe 58 percent of all women who participated in the survey had encountered threats and abuse on social media on the whole women across the globe face much heavier attacks

the men when you talk about us and against women we talk about blackmailing we talk about invading privacy you would talk about sexual harassment this type of harassment are not experienced by men clearly there are huge differences in how women are targeted as opposed to men what can women do as well given the had to learn how to cope with the hateful messages now she gives advice to other women in online courses 1st of all. try not to drown and that hate because once you start reading you want to read more and then friends that sending you things and you just really need more and it really impacts your health your mental health your physical health. another thing i recommend is have a you know be open about this 1st of all you're not the only life face a misstep or pressman's there are so many other women and there are other organizations that help you want to add. to our process to

address it and also probably do something about it. make sure that there is a support mechanism that you can go. or you can even ask your friends to take over your social media account because. you really need to know that you have a support mechanism you cannot handle this on your own. even if it's a minor consequence you can still for instance get that counsel spend it or you know find the person and reach out to someone at the company of social media platform company so what about the companies behind social media platforms why don't facebook and co adequately protect women from online hate speech the big social media firms like to point to freedom of expression when confronted with these questions but ever since former u.s. president donald trump's online accounts were suspended the guidelines on deleting

online hate speech seem to be changing well it's definitely a fine line between censorship and removing. its content i think sometimes it is obvious what might electress and still social media platforms are not doing and if you think about it. this is why i'm here and delighted to moms a multinational online platforms like twitter facebook instagram invest in more stuff to monitor online content and to employ people who can understand the cultural and societal specifics of different regions of the wild in order to adequately assess online content social media platform should invest in more people from within countries but if you are the company so inevitably to portland some think it will 1st of all it will take 48 hours or 3 days or a week to be the 2nd thing to have more people from the region from lebanon or from jordan or from egypt etc because the green know the context of these so whatever

looks like something that does not violate the community standards of this platforms it's might actually put people at risk you know what countries what other rules that determine how we communicate with one another shouldn't the same rules apply online as well as. this would also mean prohibiting users from remaining anonymous if they abuse others online that's the only way to work towards tackling online hate speech against women what have your experiences been let us know on you tube facebook already w dot com that's all for made today by and see you next time. and
