this is d.w. news live from berlin that the u.s. top crime fighter calls the january 6th attack on the capital domestic terrorism as the i directed christopher wright tells lawmakers there is no evidence of an alleged conspiracy intended to tarnish trump supporters he vows to hold the rioters accountable also coming up hundreds of kidnapped nigerian schoolgirls are released after being held captive by gunmen for decades it's the latest in a series of school abductions nigerians fear it won't be the last. war

reports of live rounds being fired at civilians and me in the southeast asian nations are calling on me and ask generals to stop the violence and to release civilian leader aung sun suu chief. welcome to the program the head of the f.b.i. has accused donald trump supporters who stormed the u.s. capitol on january 6th of domestic terrorism director chris wright made the common during testimony before a senate committee investigating the unrest defended the f.b.i.'s handling of intelligence reports prior to the riots he also debunks a right wing conspiracy theory that leftist extremists in disguise were responsible for the storming of the calculable extremis. let's listen to a little of one. chris wright had to say during his testimony there's no doubt that

it included individuals that we would call militia violence. in some instances individuals that were racially motivated. who advocate for the superiority of the white race but the militia probably at the moment. trending the biggest bucket if you will. w. reporter stacey bivins has been following the hearing for us and she joins us now stacey this is the 1st time we've heard the f.b.i. director speaking publicly about what led to the storming of the capitol we all remember these pictures of ron says essentially trying to stop the transfer of power the f.b.i. director also for himself. in washington d.c. democrats and republicans rarely agree on anything but when it comes to what director ray gave as an explanation it didn't cut it for either side now the back story is that in norfolk virginia there is an f.b.i.

post and they caught some chatter and sent an e-mail the day before to a joint committee and also posted it on a special site. but lawmakers were wondering why there wasn't more of a vigorous attempt for the for the f.b.i. to be in contact with other police it was clear that director away and not want to throw anybody under the bus but there but his testimony today showed that there are some serious questions still that need to be answered and lawmakers on both sides say is that this means that there needs to be a 911 style commission so that we know who knew what was happening why they didn't react more quickly i mean we understand that there were there formation that they got was a raw and kind of you know oh there might be a war happening there's people going to be surrounding the capitol but then why wasn't there greater presence we saw a great presence in the summer for black matter marches. where was it here these

r c trying to encourage the public to take all the 19 proportions many people they don't believe the virus exists. hello i'm christine it's good to have your company more than 200 schoolgirls abducted from a school in northwestern nigeria have been freed the government off some far states where the kidnap and happened ses it relied on so-called repentant bandits to secure the release of the girls while the gunmen seized the girls early on friday it was the latest series of mass kidnappings in the country. finally free 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 mate gunmen stormed their school seized them and forced them to walk a long distance. while we were walking they were hitting us with guns and the 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. put into kill or i'm very happy indeed now would be that god has made this ordeal that we find ourselves in to come to an end because unless that last that comes in that would mean that we

are happy and we thank god for everything and would imagine that in that. after meeting local officials the girls proceed for medical examinations before being reunited with their families and 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 tradable forney who is in some far state. the news of the gulf freedom. for their families and for many other nigerians who are forming this story but there is a big issue it's pretty easy to security here and so there is no guarantee that such a kidnapping go on top in a game hundreds if not thousands of communities and schools in this part of the country. and islamised insurgency is furiously raging in mozambique it began in 2017 when

armed militants staged their 1st attack in the northern kabul delgado province in 2019 the jihadists 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. the camp for displaced people in me touche for half a year has been the home for julia to carlos like everyone here she fled to a village in the north after a text from a group of people here call up. 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. after a long time i went back to my house and they said it on fire all my belongings were burned oh you know. years terrifying stories like that every day he's the only psychologist in the camp working in 5 of those as well. as if 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 people needs to cry they should it helps them to heal us to take our 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 all over the floor. people are living

inside this time and. 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. being confined to the camp with little to do men. still scared. or not knowing. the group counseling sessions provides an outlet for these displaced people to voice their problems but ultimately what almost everyone here wants is to return home in peace . not here. 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 reports 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 or crimes and human rights abuses because on the one hand. the fighters are shooting and beheading civilians bending their homes looting their food and property abducting women aren't 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 or group that was hired by the

mozambique and 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 and this is the national accuses government security forces of committing war crimes tell us more about that there are those fighters of the group who are. 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

op an independent impartial and transparent investigation 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 gave humanitarian agency. access to capital gotta so that they can do their work providing aid to people in need. all right that's david messiness of amnesty international speaking to us there thank you david. the next report takes us to north keevil province in the democratic republic of congo activists in the capital city of goma. 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 reported 700

deaths in just over $20000.00 cases but it's fear the misconception of the pandemic could cause the situation to change. benedikt my name is 66 years old and diabetic when she arrived at the hospital she was weak and needed oxygen for 5 days 6 days he's all over exposed to have serious form but we. got this he's improving very well. dr i'm wondering then mila 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 cleft the case numbers compared to countries like south africa v.c. if we'd have that here in goma or in the country i think that would be cut dystrophin because we are not well prepared to receive a big number of sick people working for me my life. this must be prevented by

sticking to the rule says miller. but on the streets you hardly ever see anyone wearing masks here but then i haven't seen anyone die of corona so how would i believe that an annual covert is a disease or westernesse not for africans there's no covert in congo. you know what i believe is that corona kills it kills a lot of people so much you know what. a survey conducted by the ministry of health in goma showed that a quarter of all those questioned believe kovac 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 caught with 19 already. the population things people died because they had diabetes high blood pressure heart disease that's where the doubts set 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 young activists in goma was set up that the government doesn't employ was wearing masks in public and they're going to give their responsibility to raise awareness about the dangers of covert rides. as part of. a group of young people who don't get tired of telling people to wear a mosque a tough job because often she gets rejected the way. it's the government has to do this of the government has abandoned the population and now it's up to us to sensitize the people who set up with us in. every saturday they're out on the street distributing stickers and informing passers by and shop owners sometimes people get aggressive. numbers of the people who touch you or even try to hit us but we continue because it's called the wellbeing of our people to look at africa.

for rebecca and her friends it's been a successful day if they have convinced 2 or 3 people that covert 19 is real. and that's it for now. dot com ford sasha africa we're also on facebook and on twitter we'll see it makes time about. the general trend is clear. the economy. companies are making new revenue from technology. and the trend is. how are most. consumers and see and. meet in. 60 minutes. we've

got some tips for your bucket list. corner. hard for some. and some great culture more news to. well the you tube the continue the video conferencing pop bumper here in 2021 so it's on course for more strong growth well our correspondent is there you know. also coming up businesses in the netherlands define lockdown orders to reopen their doors the courts have been called to reza face a hefty fine. social isolation coupled with financial hardship to students in paris fear the pandemic years and robbing them of the best

years of their life. to the program. this time a year ago if you had heard of us now it's a household name video conferencing platform as zoom has seen exponential growth during the pandemic as hundreds of millions of people began working from home last year into revenue growth well over 300 percent despite the unexpected drop in demand with the lifting of locked into structures the company is expecting solid growth this year to where the current market value of around 100 and $20000000000.00 is now worth more than general electric. but how sustainable is the really to find out let's bring in the financial correspondent yes quarter in new york oh yes well we'll be relying a far left on the likes of things get back to normal

ok i hope so so nothing against zune but it would be nice so to have the kids more in a real school said also that business travel for instance will be possible again i'm quite convinced that a lot of companies will think twice before where they will sending their employees to conferences around the globe so the zoom trend will continue to a certain degree but definitely not at the same growth rate that that we've seen in the past couple of months and we already see that trend early on last year on a quarterly basis to trick 160000 new customers in the past quarter it was only 30000 new customers so you can see the trend and that also by the way we flicked on the stock price of the zoom stock dropped a good 9 percent and did you stay session on wall street and it's off above 30 percent from its high that you reached earlier on in october. they answer is quite

a lot of competition in the sector whether that's from google hunger or microsoft teams all of these platforms are going to be trying to diversify in order to keep the customers they gained during the pandemic what new features can we expect them to come up with. their well that is the big search for zoom they do already offer voice only services so meaning internet phone service but if i've seen that correctly so far they've only attracted about to 10000 customers for this service but this is one way and zoom is thinking about and then the stock in general being on fire in the past year at the company made quite some cash also i mean if you look at the last year for all of 2020 actually the profit 10 fold it from a here earlier so that gave them some cash at 10 and

a good $4000000000.00 so they can also think about some resistance so one thing clearly will be to better the service to just be better than the competitors to still a trick to customers and then to offer a new services like fold for example sold this is one idea but wall street seems to be a bit skeptical so as i've mentioned earlier so the stock is off about 30 percent from its highs and you're not the only one who feeling a little bit right now yes caught it in new york thank you very much. talking about a return to normalcy here in europe an increasing number of businesses are calling for lockdown restrictions to be lifted in the netherlands some come faison stores have even defied to the rules and opened their doors to customers it's a risky move those doing so face a fine of some for. the cafe and bar owners in brega not far from the belgian border enough is enough. all they can long. for weeks now

we've seen that the parks and the skate drinks are full of people no one keeps a distance everyone's on top of each other events are being held in the city parks and i want to show that you can also open up here in a safe and a good way i think we need to i think our belgian neighbors are ready for it to. go ok the country's lockdown rules came into force in october and more than 4 months later still in place plenty of customers took advantage of the protest to relive the good old days from before the pandemic. dozens of shopkeepers in northern holland also welcomed customers on tuesday to protest against the lock down rules shop and bar owners who open risk a 4000 euro fine and a criminal record. of a kind of not unusual fact we assume it won't come to that suppose 100 shops will

open today times 4000 euros i don't think people in the country will take that very well. and that doesn't feel right when you're experiencing difficult times and you're crying for help for attention i don't think it's right to get a 4000 euro fine. i don't think that'll happen. to me he gave me that out of. the protests lasted just a few hours after an official warning from the police led shopkeepers to close their doors again but some bar owners held on to the bitter end. here in germany exports to the u.k. fell by almost a 3rd in january compared to the year before the combination of the pandemic on new post breakfast customs border appears to be behind the drop german exports britain have been in decline since the u.k. opted to leave the e.u. 5 years ago a financial correspondent chelsea delaney sent us this assessment from frank 1st.

there's been a lot of focus on how damaging box that has been for u.k. post says but it's also dealt a major blow to firms here in germany there are about 500000 estimated jobs that are directly reliant on the u.k. german trading relationship and some industries including the crucial auto industry here in germany still come to the u.k. as their top export market a lot of officials have been trying to downplay the past few months of trade difficulties between the u.k. and germany they say that these are teething problems that things will get better once firms become more familiar with the new paperwork and bureaucratic requirements but some businesses especially smaller businesses say that these new barriers are too much and many are concerned that this is the beginning of a longer term decline in trade between germany and the u k. chelsea delaney there the student days are supposed to be among the most carefree as social times in a young person's life but the pandemic has a radically change thus many in higher education are facing the joule hardships of

social isolation and financial troubles in france some students have find that helping others has become a lifeline just turned over these pictures show of a clever york to juggle for a photograph standing in line for groceries many of the students at the paris military university are here to pick up donations. their situation is dire. really because the writers are noodles. is also a student the 24 year old volunteers to distribute food in her area today others baked beans oranges and canned goods on offer. walk through woods to change thanks to distributing groceries i get out and meet a few people and helping others gives me strength it keeps me going. she also depends on food donations she's in a real is with her rent and lost her job at

a movie theater now she only has 170 year olds a month to live on her family can't help her. without the assistance of aid organizations she would be lost. more normally your twenty's are the best time of your life but it's the opposite now. now she spends most of her time alone in her 15 square meter room in front of her computer she has at least 3 online courses a day she thought getting her master's degree and cultural history would be very different. for this man knows the students problems but only from a distance math professor vest sought marta carex papers at home on the sofa he only meets and teaches his 120 students virtually. mentally and physically the students are in horrible shape and there's no real hope that it will get better any time soon the situation is horrible. walking around campus

a strange the complex says over a 1000 apartments but looks like a ghost town common rooms have been barricaded. if there are more than 3 people in a room but security guards none can tell us it's not allowed for everyone is totally isolated. or is easy to feel today she's working for the aid organization s.o.s. . and is getting donations ready. she's always shocked that there are students who are worse off than she is. only neil only has $150.00 euros to live on each month here she can get some of the bare necessities but only 2 rolls of toilet paper. to belgium are on strike i lost my job to save the obama now i only have my stipend of a few that i'm getting groceries really helps. otherwise it would be

a total disaster so we're going to get after overnight because there are so many needy students and if you are still waiting in line for help there is much to do. now to some of the other global business stories making news canada's economy contracted 5.4 percent last year its biggest plunge on rec or it there was a strong rebound in the final quarter of 0 driven by a rise in government spending and investments in business equipment and housing. the number of people out of work in spain has surpassed 4000000 in february jobless claims continue to rise as pandemic restrictions gasser to the country's tourism dependent economy the official unemployment rate is now above 17 percent spain's economy has been one of the hardest hit in the euro zone. and finally after months of lockdown some attractions in europe are gradually beginning to welcome

a. still . camera. 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 who use their art to champion women's rights and the kick off with turkish singer. but 1st as these signature cultural events 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 2 productions stand out for their troubled take on the future of our human species. as. 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 to support haitian of our problems we all sought orders as you were called 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 done for 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. they crossed. we had a malfunction after entering the stratosphere. 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 the 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 bonn to talk some more about german films at this year's barely not 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 avert climate catastrophe but tides give us gives us the nightmare scenario what could happen if we do nothing and of course that's not really feel good cinema absolutely not. some some of the other films that are in the running you know that instead of looking to the future i'm 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 schilling 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 the director told me crop is 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 on guard feel to the whole film which is really interesting i had the opportunity to talk to the star tom shelling just earlier today and he told me that what interested him about this story wasn't the history perceval 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 1930 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 danielle goodbye lenin fame is back and he's even directing his 1st feature film this time tell us about that. 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 than a movie but it's very very funny and very very sharp. thing as he's playing himself that we actually get any real insights into the real daniel. yeah it's funny you say that because i interviewed daniel pearl 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 with 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 see it done 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. well in the
