8:04 pm
there's also been a parade in the moroccan capital rabbits to welcome back. the national team, the atlas lions greatly outperformed expectations at the world cub becoming the 1st african or era of team to reach the semi finals. we captured the imagination of fans around the world. germany has formerly returned looted art works to nigeria, foreign minister on a babel handed back statues, known as benign bronzes. she described the repatriation as long overdue. the bronzes are among thousands of treasures stolen from africa by colonial powers. this is the moment when i jerry and have been waiting for after a 125 years. these stolen treasures now returned home a 1st step to right the wrongs of the colonial past. according to germany's foreign
8:05 pm
minister at the hand, over in the capital of boucher, the return of the wrong says to day is therefore a crucial step towards addressing this chapter in the way that it should be addressed. openly, frankly, was the willingness to critically says, one owns activities. and crucially, by listening closely to the concerns of those who were the victims of colonial cruelties. it is in readiness to talk in to listen that made today's returns possible. butcher soldiers looted the bronzes in 1897 from the palace in the kingdom of bidding. now nigeria, there was sold to collectors all over europe, more than a 1000, ended up in german museums. now germany has become the 1st formal colonial power to hand back. some of the artworks more will follow in the coming years and for us
8:06 pm
with some today just tells us about restitution is real. that all the promises are the commitments back up in meet. i've been a beginning to be fulfilled. and this is where the bronze statues will be exhibitors and new museums being built and benign city and southwestern nigeria. the cities bronze tradition continues to this day. i when i gay is the bronze caster like his father and grandfather before him. he tells us he's only ever known the benign bronzes from european museum catalogues. how can only get our tragedy? what brigitte ducks, our jaw buck to billy mickelson, seed ready? we're ready. what are for what i was losing, we will get it on greets and yes, and what i say that is why right? well, good, happy wanted to come back on. i was opera, the new museum won't be finished for a few years,
8:07 pm
but already the return of the treasures is a milestone in nigeria fight to regain at stolen cultural heritage. and we can now speak to young seminar. he's a historian, an expert on germany's colonial past. good to see you miss ed similar the been bronzes returning home after such a long time. how important is that? well, i think it's, it's a major step nigeria. it's a my major step for germany, for european powers colona powers in general to actually rest it over looted objects. and i think it's very important because germany, who was not the looter, accept a trans national responsibility for the games made for through colonialism. i think that is a principle which, which is very important and will become very important in the future because it says that if you profit from colonialism, even if your own soldiers haven't looted,
8:08 pm
haven't committed to via violence. you're still responsible and you're still bound to rush, to cute or make good fight. this is an important breakthrough formula channel in a box that today the germany must critically assess it's colonial past and listen to the victims. why hasn't that happened already? well, there is a lot of resistance to accept colonialism as this a racist structural structurally racist violence and crime against humanity which the colonial system was. and even when a book said this, it's, it's, you have to take it with a grain of salt because germany accepts now to rescue q. looted art looted objects, but force behind in taking responsibility. for example, for the 1st genocide of the 20th century, committed by german troops against the hero,
8:09 pm
nama in the media. that's where negotiations have failed. but the reconciliation process has stopped. and that's, i think, on the book and the german government in general has now to put a lot of energy and focus on. do you think that steps are only taken into that direction and towards former colonies when it's, when it's convenient and easy to do? so i have to see right and see, but i think that the contra sphere has offered itself as a more easier way to, to make good for the sins of the past than let's say, genocide and land crab being resource grabbing. and all this issues which we have to discuss now in an article i read, you argue that even today,
8:10 pm
when western countries like germany negotiate the return of stolen treasures, their eurocentric post colonial views persist. what do you think needs to happen for these kinds of interactions? to really happen i to i, i think we have to have an open open discussion. and the problem with this sort of restitution is that a society nigeria and in germany who pushed for the restitution haven't been involved. so it is not a very transparent process. we need transparency and then we have to discuss openly about how we want to atone for, for the sins and the crimes of the past. and we have to do this for them. i level and become church. how the, how the 20 objects which have been rested, you today? 20 out of 1130. how to have been chosen. we don't know exactly how the negotiations took place because there were no,
8:11 pm
no independent of service. so if the return of the 1st name, bronze is, is a 1st step, what do you think should be the next step? what needs to happen now? well, on, on the cultural level, we have, we have 1100, been in objects in german museums. we have it re tens of thousands of stone objects from all over the world. they need to be arrested you to turn down some issues which are unique pieces like nefertiti or the dyna saw him in berlin. that is only one sample. the been in front is have the advantages advantage if you want to say that, that there was 1000 so you could have a compromise. get 500 back, show 500 or 300 in germany in europe. you can't to dismiss nefertiti and we have to come to terms space space, a genocidal past in africa and slavery,
8:12 pm
et cetera. a long road ahead that was historian young. similar, thank you so much for your time. thank you. here are some other stories making headlines around the world today. i've got a sans education ministry has banned women from universities. the taliban run institution says, the order follows a government decision as the latest of many restrictions on women's education and rights in afghanistan. a greek politician sacked as a european parliament, vice president has allegedly made a partial confession in the corruption case against her. if id is one of 4 people charged with accepting bride, wrote 2 newspapers claimed kylie has admitted asking her father to remove large sums of cash from her apartment. ukraine's president vladimir zalinski has visited frontline troops back most in the eastern don bath region is experiencing some of the most intense fighting of the war. lensky says russia has left the city
8:13 pm
in ruins. a court here in germany has convicted a former secretary in connection with the deaths of more than 10000 people. in a nazi concentration camp, the court ruled she completed paperwork necessary for the prison to function. it's expected to be one of the last trials for holocaust crimes. 97 year old in got fortunate was sent that the juvenile because she was just 18 when she'd been working as a secretary at the shoot of concentration come in 943. she was given 2 year suspended sentence. does she dick? oh, absolutely. this is in line with what the plaintiffs wanted. the victims i represent one to show to be pronounced guilty. we will help you there. we're not interested in any sort of punishment only under hoggard. ve along so it was about prove a complicity in this monstrous number of murders. i hated to do too much to lose on
8:14 pm
shy for molten the victims were cast short or died from hunger, cold, or illness. they perished and forced marches, who after they were transported to al smith. no, and as they could hear, then as leslie, it's easy to say she was just a secretary. but her role in the heart of the camps bureaucracy was significant. the side of it, the verdict passed after 4 to day trial may sound lenient to some. but many of the victims feel that justice has finally been served. if fans are off as the director of the recent health center, which tracks sound nazi war criminals, he says a 2 year suspended sentence handed down by the court. it's absurd. is the bliss sentence that we could have gotten because she's been trying to juno best part of the problem here. and in a certain respect,
8:15 pm
this has been sent. this is absolutely absurd because the suspended sense means that the sense will always be implemented to person repeat the crime. and obviously, she's not about to repeat the crime. the old age is not a excuse or a reason why people should not be brought to justice. and this is what we owe we all to the victims and their families, that any person who is involved in these crimes no should be, should pay for them. and i could just point out that in the previous trial of, of birth day also served to shoot off as a judge. she ripped to pieces all the arguments against these trials. in other words, because of the advanced age credit to try that pass. the fact that more serious senior people are the senior right when i brought to justice and she basically said in, in crimes of a tragedy like the holocaust, there's no such thing as a small car. over 40 years ago,
8:16 pm
a book was already written. and the title was the last night. i could tell you that more than a 100 not welcome. those were convicted in the interim. so i wouldn't run or rush just to go this to lester. i know for a fact that we are busy trying to find the survivors from the ravages for robins brooke. excuse me, can she no other jeopardy who can testify against a person who served as a guy was a mess can but in the women's chair and its scheduled to be brought to justice in the coming months. and there are more additional investigations going on. and the u . s. prosecutors are considering whether to fall criminal charges against former president donald trump. a congressional panel has recommended for counts over trump's role. in january 6, insurrection trump has dismissed the move as fake charges. he says, the democrat lead committee is trying to block his possible return to campaign.
8:17 pm
oh, these images shocked the world. 2 years ago. thousands of supporters of former president donald trump storm the u. s. capital aiming to overturn the 2020 election and stop the peaceful transfer of power. 5 people died in the take, including capital police officers, whose sole responsibility was to protect the members of congress, the vice president and their state. 6 months later, congress established the so called generally 6 committee to investigate the events that led to the attack committee got straight to work. conducting over a 1000 interviews at holding 10 public hearings, they released previously unseen footage documenting the harrowing hours inside the building. and they highlighted the former president's leg of action to stop the
8:18 pm
riot, even accusing him of helping to carry out. oh, i gotta walk down to the capital. i hope we help make clear that there's a broader kind of accountability, accountability to all of you. the american people, the future of our democracy, rest in your hands. it's up to the people of this country to decide who deserves the public trust. january 6th, 2021 was the 1st time one american president refused his constitutional duty to transfer power peacefully to the next. and i work over the last 18 months. the select committee has recognized our obligation to do everything we can to ensure this never happens again. the committee recommended criminal charges for former president donald trump, but it will be up to the u. s. justice department to decide whether he will actually end up in court. i told him the report is highly symbolic and it will have
8:19 pm
long lasting effect from politically ambitions. all i want to do is it by him and he, republicans supporting a candidate facing criminal charges may be a bridge to for our washington bureau chief enos pull file that report and he joins me now in his high how likely do you think it is for the attorney general to actually follow the committee's recommendation and prosecute donald trump on the 4 charges only call you, as is in the very early stages of this extremely complicated and indeed unprecedented process. as the general 6 committee announced its recommendation to refer a formal president, trump for 4 different criminal judges. the justice department is already working on cases against trumbull and his associates. so we do not know what stage they are in or if they plan to move forward. with any charges, but this is
8:20 pm
a monumental moment on capitol hill in the state and the pressure on the department of justice is certainly rising at what does all of this mean for trumps prospects of a re run? well, if and the big question is here, that if, if the president were to get charged for inciting and insurrection, nicole, which was one of the 4 recommended recommended charges as we just heard, he would be disqualified disqualified from running for office again. but again, at this stage, nothing can prevent him from continuing to pursue, to hold public office. and ever since this investigation started, trump has painted it as a witch hunt things as the sand has it hurt him politically? that is kind of one of the most discussed a questions in here in the united states. nicole well, among his deepest and most loyal support for supporters,
8:21 pm
he continues to be extremely popular. and maybe this whole outcome of the general 6 committee will emboldened them as a trump choice to take back the white house spots. we also have to keep in mind the what we experienced or saw in the mid term election in november is that most voters rejected. trump endorsed candidates who campaigned that the election in 2020 was stolen and denied the trump bloss election in 2020. so this is an indication that the majority of the republican waters my turned their back on trump in as we did learn an awful lot during these 10 sessions of the january 6 committee, right. they talk to about a 1000 people. they went through, i think, millions of documents. how has this work? the work of the january 6 committee impacted people's view of what happened on that
8:22 pm
day. are we not only hurt these are many, many interviews and got information to call. we also saw this images and i'm sure that many of our viewers, our international audience, saw them as well. for the 1st time. i mean there were moments. for example, irvin, vice for then vice president mike pens was guarded to save room organ. pelosi, nancy pelosi, the speaker of the house tried to to, to get help from the mayor of the city of washington or the district of washington . because the white house didn't respond, so this definitely has an impact on the, on many, many people here in this country in a whole, in washington d. c. thank you so much. the united states and other countries, irv monitoring rapidly rising corona, virus infections and china beijing has ease and 0 co policy. falling mass protests
