this happen as so frequently in the country. several reasons related to this one this group of people they headsmen who in the shit head and must tomei and most of the kidnappings in nigeria complain of been neglected complet appalled by to complain of injustice so did hubby kidnapping for ransom and deal wanted attention from the government which adelle unable to get that attention so by attack you suppose now the change indestructible and definitely equipment is concerned when if i did attack school more than when the attacks are not in nigeria hands how villages because even as we get this release for people who are shot dead in december gotta istead where. over 6 years they've been but then we bundy 3 with little or no attention.

to this race interest in a project many thanks for your reporting. and in a separate kidnapping in central nigeria security forces have launched a rescue operation and to find more than 300 schoolgirls who were kidnapped on friday gunmen struck in a nighttime raid on a boarding school but nigeria's president says the government will not give in to blackmail. it's the scene of the latest mass kidnapping of nigeria's children gunmen forced their way into government girls secondary school in django big 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. in different years old a forest. i was part of are called didn't. put

the sharp rise in kidnappings in this region usually for ransom the authorities are under pressure to act the governor of niger state has ordered the closure of all secondary schools in the state. nigeria's security forces are overstretched mostly fighting the militant group boko haram in the north east of the country still they promise to do everything possible to find the missing students but for the hundreds of parents waiting for word of their children and praying that they're still alive the government's actions simply aren't enough. and saudi arabia has hit back at us claims that crown prince mohammed bin solomon likely approved of the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi in 2918 the by the administration has released an intelligence report that had been classified up until now despite its conclusions washington has stopped short of imposing

sanctions directly on the prince the saudi government for its part says it completely rejects the cia's findings. and all 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 capture or killing of the journalist 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. he 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 but blamed it on a rogue security team. the public naming of mohammed bin some man as complicit in the killing will set a new tone for the relationship between washington and riyadh. but by an administration has imposed sanctions on dozens of saudi officials but stop short of targeting the prince. and u.s. president joe biden's decision to release this highly critical report is a change from the trumpet ministrations earlier stance we spoke to our washington correspondent and asked him what this means for the u.s. administration's stance on saudi arabia as we move forward. the report is not new

it was actually already finished quite some time ago and then withheld by the administration congress at the time altered this report to be published 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 the ministration is now accusing the saudi crown prince of murder all the washington polls journalist jamal khashoggi that will certainly have big implications for their relationship. to these all over is al it there now let's take a look at some other stories making headlines at this hour u.s. president joe biden has authorized his 1st military action since taking office

american forces launched airstrikes in syria targeting sites that they say were back were used by iran backed militia groups syrian authorities say at least 17 people were killed and scribe the attack as cowardly and accuse washington of breaking international law. in myanmar local media say a woman was shot and killed during a crackdown on protesters who did their crowd dispersal measures on saturday firing rubber bullets tear gas and water cannons to strangers have been taking place since the military arrested elected leaders and seized power 4 weeks ago. and hundreds of anti-government protesters have taken to the streets of the capital santiago riot police used water cannon and tear gas against the crowds friday demonstrations have become a regular event as campaigners speak out against inequality in one of latin america's most developed nations. while 400 prisoners have escaped in

chancellor angela merkel says politicians may still need a while. definitely right to plan this for the future but it shouldn't mean that you need one to travel the political decisions still have to be taken. vaccination is underway but slowly the prospect of a passport already has people dreaming of far off destination politicians say that there must be proof that vaccinated people unknown infectious. when asked to give if that's a given that there will be no reason to restrict bracy creedence 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 follow the social distancing rules we simply don't know yet how long immunity will last after a vaccination is. no longer just troubling 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 to get to. the european union says developing this kind of passport could take 3 months months during which travel dreams will keep on growing. and to los angeles now where 2 french bulldogs belonging to the singer lady gaga have been returned to police days after they were stolen at gunpoint thieves shot and wounded the dog walker on wednesday before escaping with 2 of god's 3 dogs in a car because i had offered a $500000.00 reward for her pet safe return police say that a woman and brought them in unharmed. and earlier d.w. spoke with hollywood entertainment reporter jessica sorrow and asked the kidnappers appear to have specifically targeted lady gaga as dawgs. 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 as of right now it hasn't come out if lady gaga has paid that $500000.00 but she was very serious when she said that she was willing to pay $500000.00 she was willing to do really whatever she likes 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 oh. time for some sports news now and in the bundesliga braman ended an unbeaten run of her visitors eintracht frankfurt remains a $2.00 to $1.00 win is their 1st against frankfurt for 3 years shortly after the break with raymond's taylor and cabarets saying lassie beat the frankfurt offense to level the game at one all. the defenders a 2nd goal of the season american striker josh sargent netted the deciding goal

though helping bremen to pick up a 3 badly needed points this is a prank for it's a 1st a point as they could defeat this here. is your news update at this hour stay tuned for world stories at the weekend reports i'm sorry richardson in berlin for me in the entire news team thanks so much for joining us. people looking for. there are many answers. there are many reasons. and there are many military vets. to.

make up your own mind. d.w. made for minds. this week on the world stories. russia's sputnik vaccine is in the spotlight female rabbis find their way in berlin but we begin elsewhere in germany and now one year ago a racist right wing extremist killed 9 people with migrant backgrounds their families of the victims want answers and their grieving is mixed with anger at the authorities. to king lost his brother good khan in

a racist terrorist attack in hono one year ago must go forth and aqaba hopping on sort of one like he basically walked in and blew our lives apart or this couple he wrecked everything nothing was left in place. by it once. ken was just 37 years old following his death his family fell apart 100 father died of cancer 5 weeks later his mother can no longer cope without medication. and his son matt not able to go to work and on sick leave the diagnosis post-traumatic stress disorder it's like. for me it's been a whole year of sleepless nights when it gets dark you lay your head on the pillow where your head is filled with questions on the kissing and. commandant the frog who consumes you. can and his son matt are on the way to the crime

scene because he was shot by to b.s. at this kiosk just as he was about to finish his shift double my brother was lying over there under those 2 electrical sockets. and mentioned there were blue lights flashing and a crowd of people at 1st we didn't realize what had happened to this day many questions remain unanswered for example how was it possible that the perpetrator was in possession of the gun license even though he was mentally ill or why was the emergency number of the one a police apparently not sufficiently manned on the night of the crime cheatin and the other relatives are still searching tirelessly for answers demanding clarification and consequences to do this they found an initiative. of we call on the same government to investigate the failures and also to imagine how they the officials acted on the night of the crime and also before and after the crime one year on there is still no explanation and there are still many many

questions as to how it could have come to that often if. these are perhaps a white collar crime quantum neither the state government and nor the hano police want to talk to us about these allegations the police union had this to say before and saying the police were responsible in the sense that it one point or another they could have done this or that and then it would not have happened i do not agree it's a little cheap to say after the fact is that the police should have known everything before hand. since the attack can no longer feel safe in germany he's scared when he goes out at night or when his son is late coming home. last summer russia was racing to be the 1st country to have an approved corona vaccine the sputnik vaccine was rolled out before late stage trials had begun raising concerns nevertheless russians are getting vaccinated on mass.
