after a terrifying ordeal just days ago at their boarding school these girls went to bed looking forward to the weekend but in the dead of the night gunmen stormed their school seized them and forced them to walk a long distance and. while we will walking they were hitting us with guns and the very same time they were beating us with sticks and commanding us to move on and they took us to an unknown location it was there after the 4 pm prayers that we were given food to eat they gave us rice and beans. after negotiations with the government the girls captors freed them relief for these teenagers overwhelming news for their families who could only hope and pray for their safe return. i'm

very happy indeed. god has made this ordeal that we find ourselves in to come to an end. we're happy and thank god for everything. after meeting local officials the girls proceed for medical examinations before being reunited with their families. a happy end but many nigerians would question whether the kidnapping could have been prevented in the 1st place. and now let's hear from. our spondon friend who is in some far state. the news of the girl's freedom. for their families and for many other nigerians who are following this story but there is a bigger issue at play here there is little security here and so there is no guarantee that such a kidnapping go on top in again hundreds if not thousands of communities and

schools in this part of the contrie remain vulnerable. and islamised insurgency is fiercely raging in mozambique it began in 2017 when armed militants staged their 1st attack in the golden couple province in 2019 the jihadists locally known as. their allegiance to the so-called islamic state now their violence has seen more than half a 1000000 people feed their homes last month u.n. officials warned the humanitarian crisis would worsen without international help. visited a refugee camp where people told him just how their lives had been at. the camp for displaced people and me to show for half a year has been the home for drug carlos like everyone here she fled her village in the north after a text from a group of people here call up. well you know on the level you know. i was on the

way to my field and saw men decapitating my neighbors i started running immediately and looked for a place to hide in the bush. you know we. don't know why i did that after a long time i went back to my house and they said it on fire all my belongings were burned oh you know. and i'm just terrifying stories like that every day he's the only psychologist in the camp working in 5 of those as well. was that it. was a said. you're talking as part of the healing process it is not only medicine that can help talking sometimes crying can help to people needs to cry they should it helps them to hear less to take out what makes them suffer. for many

a trauma comes 2nd when you have to fight for survival every day carlos says her family only received rice and grains from the government forcing them to collect grass in the bush which they cook and eat the only. 8 people are living inside this. just told us that it is raining season now and sometimes when it's raining in the night there's no floor so they can't lie down they have to try and stand inside these tiny little huts and this is not only the situation for her family more than 6000 people are living in this camp and the terrible conditions. there outbreaks of cholera elect of basic medications and food being confined to the camp with little to do many are still scared. of the one that your. group counseling sessions provide an outlet for these displaced people to voice their problems but ultimately what almost everyone here wants is to return home. in

peace. today the rights group amnesty international released a report on the islamist insurgency in northern mozambique the report is based on interviews with internally displaced people from the communities that have been impacted by the increased fighting in the region now amnesty international's david not seen it joins me to tell us more about that report hi david what does your report say about the raging insurgency in northern mozambique it's displaced thousands of people some of whom we just saw in our reports people of car bill got a court in a triangle of violence well crimes and human rights abuses because on the one hand . the group fighters are shooting and beheading civilians bending their homes looting their food and property abducting women and girls subjecting them to sexual physical and emotional violence including forced marriages secondly we have

government security forces who are subjecting detainees to torture and extrajudicial killings and lastly the african private military company take advice for a group that was hired by the mozambican government to take part in this conflict this company has been using machine guns and hand grenades from helicopters so indiscriminately. distinguishing between civilians and military targets right in a nutshell that's the summary of the report david amnesty international accuses government security forces of committing war crimes tell us more about that there are those fighters of the group. detained and captured some of them wounded and they are often subjected to torture and extrajudicial killings and you have civilians as well in those neighborhoods in the

armed conflict area who are also. tortured you know killed some of them forcibly disappeared and never to be heard from them again now the government must promptly open independent impartial and transparent terrorist again into these credible allegations as well as are those that are not included now report and bring all those responsible to justice they must also give humanitarian agency. access to capital guard to so that they can do their work providing aid to people in need. all right that stave it off amnesty international speaking to us there thank you david. our next report takes us to north keevil province in the democratic republic of congo activists in the capital city of goma a working to raise awareness of covert 19 because many people don't believe the

virus poses a serious threat to them the country as a whole has been spared the worst of the pandemic it's officially reports of 700 deaths in just over 20000 cases but it's fear the misconception of the pandemic could cause the situation to change. benedick many 66 years old and diabetic when she arrived at the hospital she was weak and needed oxygen for 5 days . exposed to have severe form but. we are. very well. dr miller is the only emergency physician and he africa and funded hospital in goma in eastern congo in the past week he received 5 covert patients 3 of them severe cases the doctors cleanse the case numbers compared to countries like south africa 30 b.c. if we'd have that here in goma or in the country i think that would be cut to

struck because we are not well prepared to receive a big number of sick people who are going to. be in my life. this must be prevented by sticking to the rule says miller. but on the street you hardly ever see anyone wearing masks here but then i haven't seen anyone die of corona so how would i believe that. any hope of covert is a disease for western us not for africans there's no covert in congo. what i believe is that corona kills it kills a lot of people show me show what. a survey conducted by the ministry of health in goma showed that a quarter of all those questioned believe covert 19 does not exist one reason for that according to the minister 80 percent of cases he has shown no symptoms and of the 20 percent with symptoms most isolate at home nobody really knows how many people got cold at 19 already. know about the population things people died because

they had diabetes high blood pressure heart disease that's where the donald said in but we continue communicating to the people listen covert exists every day we have new cases and we don't want the numbers go up. we are now going to meet a group of gang activists and go set up that the government doesn't it was wearing masks in public and that's a look at their responsibility to raise awareness about the dangers of corporate rights. as part of. a group of young. who don't get tired of telling people to wear a mosque a tough job because often she gets rejected the was a little bit on the market it's the government who should do this of the government has abandoned the population and now it's up to us to sensitize the people who set up and that's in. every saturday they're out on the street distributing stickers and informing passers by and shop owners sometimes people get aggressive. lenders

out there are people who touch you or even try to hit us but we continue because it's for the well being of our people to look at africa. for rebecca and her friends it's been a successful day they have convinced 2 or 3 people that covert 19 is real. and that's a finale a small on dot com for sasha africa we're also on facebook and on twitter see it x. time back. and you hear me now oh yes we're going to do and how it all stands judgments on so i will bring you i'm going to back off and you never could have surprised yourself with what is possible who is magical really what moves. who talk to people who follows her along the way maurice and critics might join us from apple's lifestyle

. different on the islands of. women are in charge. archipelago has had a matriarchal system for centuries. different. means of. starts marching on t.w. . greetings from berlin where the city's international film festival the belly nala is underway in its 1st ever hybrid pandemic edition competition films are screening all this week mostly online and we'll look into some of the nuggets from day 2 also coming up. in a new series will feature female artists use their art to champion women's rights

and go kick off with turkish singer. but 1st as these signature cultural event on berlin's calendar the belly nala typically brings glamour and of course revenue to the city to things an online festival can't achieve in the same way but it's also an unparalleled platform for german cinema this year more than ever and to productions stand out for their trouble take on the future of our human species. yes. the film who we were opens with those words how will humanity be remembered in the future. director mark bowden 6 thinkers with special expertise like astronaut alexander gast they each share their perspectives

from the bottom of the ocean from outer space africa for a buddhist monastery. we lived too long in isolation and disappear taishan of our problems we all sought orders as you were european contacts as an african context but to understand that everything going on right now is connected to other questions out of people out of settings i think this is an important angle. can the earth be saved the film showcases potential solutions a complete change of direction would be sensible continued over exploitation and unmitigated growth would certainly spell our hand. to meet these people in the film. it was such a. mind opener to see you you don't have to wait until something changes you can do

it by yourself and then you meet r.s. and then you meet again others and does this like an internal movement. who we were uses powerful imagery to show what's at stake for humanity especially well done is the combination of different viewpoints on one central issue but there are also moments of hopefulness with a combined effort right now humans would be able to preserve our habitat. the science fiction movie time is less optimistic warfare pandemics and climate change have turned the blue planet into a flooded grey swamp contact with the ground is only possible during the daily low tide space colony astronauts are searching for a new life they find it in the form of members of a previous mission. what happened. they crossed.

we had a malfunction after entering the stratosphere. the suppose address turns out to be a betrayal told in a visually striking style 2 completely different films with the same message the earth doesn't need humans but humans need to earth. humans need the earth and they also need movies to remind them of this fact and scott roxboro our movie guru joins me from boston to talk some more about german films at this year's banning hi scott different views of the future there from these german directors that we just saw an excerpt from tides which is looking pretty pessimistic. yeah i mean when we were the documentary at least give some hope showing how humanity could change and invert climate catastrophe tides give us gives us the nightmare scenario what could happen if we do nothing and of course that's not really feel good sort of absolutely not. some some of the other films

that are in the running you know that instead of looking to the future are looking specifically back to the past tell us something about fabio which i think is taken from a novel starring tom selling that looks interesting. yeah this film is set in the weimar republic so the period just before hitler comes to power in the early thirty's and tom shilling plays a character who's a a would be novelist and when we meet him he gets fired from his job as an ad man at a cigarette company. in berlin and from that point on his life begins to sort of just fall apart in some ways reflecting the collapse of the society german society around him i'm the director of this very interesting things stylistically here he uses sort of old filming techniques and sort of old movie editing styles to give sort of a retro garde feel to the whole film which is really interesting i had the opportunity to talk to the star tom schilling just earlier today and he told me that what

interested him about this story wasn't the history per se of the weimar republic but what he thinks the weimar republic can tell us about society today because in his opinion what's happening right now the sort of rise of political extremism and the extreme political polarization is very similar to that period in the early ninety's in germany before everything collapsed and something and something of a fatalistic view it looks like now now germany's biggest star of course daniel goodbye lenin fame is back and he's even directing his 1st feature film this time tell us about that and. yeah the film is called next door and directs he also stars as a character that's a lot like daniel he plays a guy called daniel he plays a guy a guy called daniel who's a famous german actor who lives in berlin and in the beginning the movie he goes into his local bar and he meets a neighbor who he never knew he had but the neighbor knows everything about daniel

and slowly he starts to pick his life apart it's almost like a western duel they're dealing with words and it's the film itself i mean it feels more like a theater play in the way it's structured staged in a movie but it's very very funny and very very sharp. larry is saying as he's playing himself that we actually get any real insights into the real daniel or. yeah it's funny you say that is like interviewed general last week about this movie and he said that a lot of the dialogue and in fact a lot of the scenes are taken directly from his life as a carriage of fans as people and other people in the in the film industry but what i really love about this movie is the you know this is germany's biggest star but he really makes fun of himself in this in this movie i mean this is the opposite of a vanity project he makes himself look horrible in this movie and i think it takes a lot of a lot of confidence of yourself as an actor and a person to make fun of your own fame in this way. certainly looking forward to seeing don you know. taking the mickey out of himself and of course all these other

films and films by german directors c s m r scott and thanks very much for all those back stories scott roxboro in. well in the lead up to international women's day on march the 8th we reached out to our different correspondents around the world to tell us about some women artists who are actively speaking out for women's rights through their work. is a turkish pop singer with a message and my colleague junia han has this report from istanbul. a mini bus ride through a parallel universe and a woman who actual is in the driver's seat. she loves to bring together traditions and modernity that sounds she revived psychedelic rock a sound that was lost truly popular in turkey in the 1970 s. .

guy isn't cutting on the asian side of the stumble. it's a district known for its many bars and clubs at least when there is no pandemic. this is where she grew up. some of them. most of my childhood memories are about music and when i dreamt about my future the music was always there. today the 36 year old writes composes and co produces most of her songs herself. the fans love the unique mix of turkish music rock and post pop. and many search gaius abstract lyrics for messages about the situation in tacky.

the whole country is a shishak of faith and we as suffocating in its smoke she sings in bottom is that tosh. of us all and used it's really become more and more difficult to breathe in this country because there's a lack of justice and rule of law leave. that has deeply wounded the society. i feel very injured to. it's time for us to stand up for and support each other here in turkey and elsewhere in the world the. guy is most concerned about the situation of women in turkey rights groups warn that domestic violence is on the rise and that the number of women murdered has dramatically increased in recent years. activists regularly organized protests

over the turkish government bans most of them but dahlia is proud that women still dare to be loud and demand their rights. to kill the. good when we talk about women in turkey the word oppression automatically comes to mind. it's an uphill battle for every woman who wants to live according to her own ideas. but we won't be afraid we will stick together draw attention to ourselves and organize organize all. for her fans guy is a role model in terms of self-determination and when it comes to speaking one's mind. i don't ask for anyone's permission i am who i always wanted to be she sings on her latest record the song is called it's

young money festool saw rebellion money festival. and guy you can't wait to play her music life again after the pandemic in one of the clubs in room city. music hall so if my music were a city it would definitely be istanbul the city has many sounds and forces it's a melting pot where everyone and everything comes together. so. i really like to be compared to the city where you got. a fascinating encounter with guy. to look up her music and that's all for today but we will leave you with some images from milan fashion week where the italian designer duo dogshit and gabbana envisions a brighter future by revamping some of their most outlandish ninety's for the tick

tock tribes of today's a do enjoy that hope to see you next time and all the best from us here in berlin. the fun.

slavery routes starts march 10th. this is a line from europe in the united states imposed sanctions on russian officials moscow warns april the washington issues punishments for the poisoning of kremlin critic. so is the new u.s. administration getting tough on russia also out on the program. hundreds of kidnapped nigerian schoolgirls are released after being held captive by gunmen 4th

days insulators to most serious of school abductions nigerians fear it won't be the last. tonight singerman cup quarter final between fly back to the door but it is more than just a game it's also a balancing act croce about to leave one of the clubs with joins me. by phil gramm welcome to the program you know it's the european union of the united states of issued a coordinated sanctions against russian officials and companies over the poisoning and jailing of kremlin critic annexing the found the real position activist is now serving a 2 and a half year prison sentence washington says its intelligence found moscow was behind the mr brown was poisoned with a nerve agent in august it's the 1st time the new u.s. administration has sanctioned russia in response russia's foreign minister said

these countries are preparing its own set of punishments kates the e.u. and us should. well i asked the deputy correspondent on of a summit in washington with a new u.s. president joe biden was being tough on russia than his predecessor well you know president biden promised a tougher stance against russia those were the 1st sanctions since he took office it was a coordinated effort with the european union targeting high ranking russian officials here donald trump at the time refused sanctions against moscow and then of ali case as remember he had a special relationship with russia if you will just think of the moller investigation into russian election interference and all the evidence that was produced at the time that russia wanted strong in office and in that light it was pretty clear that president biden is going to take a tougher stance and that is what we are seeing right now it is also an easy sell back home in the united states because joe biden with these sanctions is upholding

american values like democracy the freedom of speech so that certainly goes down well in the u.s. however those sanctions against russian officials have to be seen as rather a symbolic will a muscular has said that it will respond in kind to any new u.s. sanctions so once it's likely to mean for future u.s. russian relations. well it certainly means a deterioration of the relations but let's be honest the relationship between the united states and russia has been strained for quite some time the u.s. says that russia is behaving like an adverse and has to be treated as such and that is for many reasons election meddling of course is one important aspect but also the crises in belarus in the ukraine and the role rochelle plays in these crises certainly all aspects that have contributed to the strained relationship between the u.s. and russia that we're seeing right now all of a summit in washington thank you hundreds of schoolgirls kidnapped from their

boarding school in nigeria's northern state of zamfara have been believed the regional government says they're now safe and well after being seized by armed men on friday the abduction was the major used in this series of mass kidnappings. but their ordeal is over. officials say the almost 300 school children are healthy however some did suffer physical wounds it's the psychological impact of their kidnapping that may take longer to heal. if they didn't want it most of us injured our feet and we couldn't continue to walk our captors said they would shoot anybody who didn't continue we walked across the river and they hit us and let us sleep under bushes in a forest. and. for the families of the schoolgirls their relief is unsurmountable.

humbling i'm very happy. you know. that god has brought our or deal to him and that he is what we're so happy as them is that i thank god for everything. he said about that like that of jim that i let what he wanted them would have not allowed them to be and that the students were abducted from this boarding school by an armed gang last friday government officials have been in talks with the kidnappers known locally as bandits. they say these bandits in some far state often kidnap for ransom money to press for the release of their members held in prison authorities are searching for the culprits. so think on this one don't think you have to. do this when this is just somebody with you you. are lying to you to. call

when you see someone phones the balls are in an industry that. nigeria's president also tweeted saying they're working hard to bring an end to these grim and heartbreaking incidents of kidnapping saying the military and the police will continue to go after the kidnappers. this latest kidnapping was nigeria's 4th mass abduction in less than 3 months this time it had a happy ending but there are fears that children may become the kidnappers target once again. and staying in the year the united nations says a terror attack in the country's north east was directly targeted at several humanitarian aid facilities a hospital on the premises of aid agencies in the town of to quote were reportedly set ablaze or damaged affecting the support being given to me a few 100000 people islamic these loving state militant groups are suspected of being responsible. well take

on and many germans are growing increasingly tired of it. and that's what i'm really hoping for the easing of some restrictions that we get to see something other than closed shops and restaurants so yes i do hope we're going to open up a bit now there's been obviously i'm unemployed and i can do anything i can work anywhere and nothing so i just sit around at home. but it passed there's got to be some kind of prospect that some things are going to be possible again soon. a latest poll shows that a clear majority of germans now want to see lockdown measures eased the past 2 weeks have seen some tentative steps in that direction primary school children have returned to some classroom teaching and on monday headdresses were allowed to reopen. still there doesn't seem to be much light at the end of the tunnel vaccinations in germany are moving at a sluggish pace and infection rates are inching up again fueled by more contagious

variants of the virus loosening restrictions now as dangerous experts are warning. if we open up right now just everything so normal life as before we would risk a massive so it waits at the speed of infection is really taking up and we seeing a high number of infections in the next weeks and there was a consequence of people getting sick people needing to go to the hospital and people risking their lives. german chancellor angela merkel has so far listened to scientists and taken a very cautious approach to the pandemic but now pressure on her is growing to prevent germans from losing patience she might have to be ready for some compromise as she heads into the latest meeting to determine germany's next moves in the pandemic and sport the quarterfinals of the german cup take place this week and one of tonight's matches features the battle of the brosius which in bloodbath is

dormant the game takes on added spice because their blood back coach marco rosa will be competing against a team that he will lead this summer. for a coach facing your future employer is never an easy task but. is doing his best to keep the attention off himself ahead of their german cup clash with dortmund. this is in no way about marco. this is about the team. and so there's no exceptional pressure on me. from. the last time the 2. back in late january put 4 goals past dormant in a convincing just liga victory. but coach rosenow there's a lot has happened since then. it's

a saw we've kind of been going in opposite directions dortmund have found their form with 3 straight wins one in the champions league and 2 in the blenders league . whereas we just haven't been getting results imo meant. to come so now marco is a has to try to reverse that trend against none other than his future employer. a painting by britain's wartime prime minister winston churchill has been optioned in london for about 7000000 pounds the churchill painted the tower of the could to be moscow the 943 casablanca conference in morocco and stayed on an extra day to finish it then he sent it to his u.s. ally president franklin roosevelt as a birthday present the picture was later acquired by actress angelina jolie who has now decided to sound. as if you're up to date more world news of the top of the hour with brant goff kate ferguson will have you with the double business

so so i feel a shoe coupled with financial hardship students in fear that make is a problem. here in their life. this is the new business i'm kate ferguson thanks for joining me we begin a scythe africa where a debate is raging about plans to relax copyright rules the copyright amendment bill would make it easier for creation artists to incorporate international content and ideas into their work but it would also mean that local content producers would not earn international royalties in our next report we meet 2 creative one who stand to gain from the other who expects to lose out. morani stands to benefit from a new law to nurture south africa's creative and technology industries through copyright relaxation i'm going to give it a game developer who created

a games about africa and i'm going to this point thanks to the knowledge that if you have a little online the copyright amendment bill will enable the use of content and ideas from international producers without strict controls and prohibitive licensing fees a norm in many developed nations meaning that video games like this could be adapted for a local audience without paying royalties or hefty penalties for unauthorized use that could potentially grow local markets but it's not that simple. conversely local performance artists stand to lose if the bills interacted in its current form. takes away the potential revenue that we could have made from selling online and which is their only means that we can meet my needs from since we're not doing anything to add to the

equivocator every collations at is that not funny and to take away the possible to have teeth is a very very bare and he said. there's also the question of finance when developing nations try to enact modern laws around copyright with a powerful international community threatening to pull the plug on planned investments should the bill proceed. it is right we are balancing we dance and losers we're saying times such is technology development we should need access to copyrighted material and want to develop but also ahead of the creative industries that benefit of copyright is sought by lancing all of these while taking into account that we are a resource diffuse a country which need for an investor's. presidency real ram opposed sent

a bill back to south africa's parliament for revision but for mulroney this is an unnecessary delay and a developing nation that developing continent stopping the free flow of knowledge will you move us backwards and i feel like it's our mission it's our duty to move africa forward and that's by empowering because that's possible by sharing their knowledge and helping them change their lives an amended bill is only expected to come out later in 2021 leaving artists and creatives in limbo until then. it's to east africa where more than $260.00 charities are getting banks to boycott a $3500000000.00 oil pipeline total on the china national offshore oil corporation are soon to start work on a 1400 kilometer pipeline from western uganda 3 times and to the indian ocean
