o. e, with being usually ended a little, she'll go down to play gcs and talk to you later. and here are some other stories making headlines around the world today. a german court has convicted and 97 year old former secretary over 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 agree politicians act as a european parliament, vice president has allegedly made a partial confession in the corruption case against her iraq i. e. is one of or 4 people charged with accepting bribes to newspapers. claim kylie has admitted asking her father to remove large sums of cash from her apartment. special forces in

pakistan have retaken a security facilities these by the taliban. 33 militants were killed in the operation. taliban fighters earlier overpowered police at the interrogation center . they were demanding safe passage to neighboring afghanistan. and it's there that the taliban have ordered an immediate and indefinite ban on university education for women. thousands of afghan girls that university entrance exams just 3 months ago. the van is the latest of many restrictions on women's rights. most girls are already barred from secondary school education. and journalist allie latifah joins me now from cobble ali. are you surprised at all by this move? ah, you know, there's been talked about something like this happening for weeks, months,

and it's one of those things you don't want it to be true. and so even when they had the interesting thing about it is that the news really broke later in the evening around 8 30 in the evening. so it seemed very odd for people that you know, such an edict was coming out essentially in the middle of the night. not early in the morning, not even in the afternoon. so that initially created a lot of suspicion, but you know, within minutes it became very evident that no, this was legitimately what people have been fearing for the last year and a half. i since this long like emerson's a tal upon return to power. so it's one of those things, it's not surprising unfortunately, given their track record, but maybe in the way it happened. and just, you know, obviously when it happens it will be a surprise to people no matter when or how it occurs. yeah. why are we seeing this

now? you say that there was discussion about it for months. fears of course everson, taliban returned to power. this is exactly, this is the question right? i that i, as you all said earlier, you know, thousands of girls sat for the university entrance exam. i interviewed them, you know who they had, sat for it and several different provinces. ah, education officials brag, dino tal upon education officially bragged that so many young women were sitting for university at entrance exams. and really that the timing why it's happening, how it's happening. there's still no clear answer. there's just a lot of guesses and conjecture. but really amongst the people, it's anger it's, it's upset because their whole thing has always been, you know, if you claim to be in islam, a camera wire knew why you not following the rules and teachings of islam because there is nothing in, you know, islam teachings that would forbid anyone,

male or female from being educated or you know, for going to work or, you know, going to, because they're not allowed in most workplaces for going to parks and her mom's which have been recently banned girls and women. um and and so the question keeps coming back to people is if you claim to be in islam, the camera, why are you doing the most honest long things? yeah. the taliban promised to allow girls to go back to school. now they are banned from schools and universities. is the taliban leadership possibly divided over the treatment of women? is very clear that they're divided because if you look at it, you know, you have high ranking officials who have sad things like we need to restart the you know, the secondary school for girls and 32 provinces out of the 34 where it's not allowed at the moment, ah, you know, saying that women aren't eat are an important part of society and you know, you know, they have their big economic fairs and, and business fairs of, you know,

female entrepreneurs. but how are you gonna continue to have these if, if you are not allowing women to be educated, will be a female entrepreneur. you know, 235 years down the line. if you cannot have a university education, you know, or even really a high school education. so hey, there's these really weird back and forth among the taliban. where on the one hand you have people who say things like, oh, we're not keeping women from doing certain things or where not as strict as we used to be. or, you know, our edicts are being misunderstood, or we want to create more of a role for women, but nothing they've done has actually shown. is there any hope for improvement in the future? the only hope is if the tall barn realizes that as the people say that everything that they're doing is on his law make. and if they realize that you know, they are failing. and the same way that the former slumped republic failed, which is by not understanding the avalon people at all. and by assuming that what

they envision as a way of life for the avalon people is what the people want. ah, which is the exact same thing that led to the downfall of former republican light, to so much distrust among the former public? and unfortunately, it seems as if the tall bonds islamic amorous trading the same path alena timothy and cobble many thanks for your time. germany has formerly returned looted art works to nigeria, foreign minister and alina babel cannon back statues, known as beneath bronzes. she describes the repatriation as long overdue. the bronzes are among thousands of treasures stolen from africa by colonial powers. this is the moment nigerians have been waiting for after a 125 years. these stolen treasures now returned home a 1st step to right the wrongs of the colonial passed. according to germany's foreign minister at the hand, over in the capital,

a boot jack the return of the bronx is 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 current sons of those who were the victims of colonial cruelties, it is in readiness to talk into listen that made to days returns possible. british soldiers looted the bronzes in 1897 from the palace in the kingdom of benin. now nigeria, there were 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 for us with

some today just tells us about restitution. israel backed all the promises or the commitments back i've been made. i've been are beginning to be fulfilled and this is where the bronze statues will be exhibitors and you museum as being built and been in city and southwest a nigeria. the cities bronze tradition continues to this day. i, when i say is a bronze cancer like his father and grandfather beforehand, he tells us he's only ever known the been bronzes from european museum catalogues. how can i really get the act? what did you, what brigitte? duck, our job back to believe? because to see very were clearly what are what i was producing, we will get it on greets and yes, what i say is why we are going to be wanting to come back and i was operate the new museum won't be finished for a few years. but already the return of the treasures is

a milestone in nigeria fight to regain it. stolen cultural heritage. earlier i asked the so and young fema about the significance of the hanover where i think it's a major step for nigeria to my major step for germany. for european powers or colonial powers in general, to actually read it to you jose over looted objects. and i think it's very important because germany, who was not the looter, accept a trans national responsibility for the gains 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, if you profit from colonialism, even if your own soldiers haven't looted, haven't committed to via violence. you're still responsible and you're still bound to rescue cute or make good fight. this is an import breakthrough formula channel

in a back saturday, 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 use a racist structural structurally racist violence and crime against humanity which the colonial system of wars. 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, nama in the media. that's where negotiations have failed. but the reconciliation

process has stopped. and that's, i think, i'm in a b. i 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 the former colonies when it's when it's convenient and easy to do? so i have to see, wait and see, but i think that the culture is fear 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, when western countries like germany negotiate the return of stolen treasures there, eurocentric, post, colonial views persist. what do you think needs to happen for these kinds of

interactions? to really happen, i see why 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 20 objects, which has been wrested you to take 20 out of 1130. how to have been chosen. we don't know exactly how the negotiations took place because there were no no independent of service. so if the return of the 1st name, bronze s, as a 1st step,

what do you think should be the next step? what needs to happen now? well, on the contra level, we have, we have 1100 pending objects in german museums. we have it read 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 diner saw him in berlin, but there's only one sample there been in problem just 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, et cetera. a long road ahead that was historian young. similar, thank you so much for your time. thank you. south africa as president. so

a roman poster has bound to unite his party, the african national congress. a day after being re elected as leader on posts as told, party members, they must step up the fight against corruption and provide better public services. but as the w christine moon, by reports the president has suffered a blow to his credibility only a week ago. seward, i'm a pulses political future hung in the balance he was facing and impeachment vote, and caused to resign as the countries president over a corruption scandal involving the cover up a foreign currency stolen from his game form. now his re election as the leader of the a and c opens the way to a 2nd term for m. a pasa, as president addressing delegates at the conference that gave him a fresh mandate. he promised renewal, we realized more clearly that the failure of basic

services in various pasano of our country have increased the lack of confidence that our people have. and we offer commissioner congress my now despite the cheese and the st abrasions, the agency was split over the choice. the corruption scandal deb farm gate has tarnished through rama pulses image, but he still demand the markets trust with south africa's economy. the news of his return is agency president boosted the local currency bats that would have gone unnoticed by the millions of south africans struggling to earn a living. unemployment is growing in south africa and with it. poverty and crime making matters worse, the countries experiencing rolling power blackouts which are dealing a further blow to the already ailing economy. and public support for the governing

a and c is at an all time low. i to minute these, i build, i world. i plaster a fix phones. i don't hate it. see, i have the leaders of in see in the people amongst the easy because of now there's a lot of 10 us going out. st. taylor's wife, i tend as school projects, the 1st people to get the tailors is the, is the people, the cold, their families and friends. we have to spend our disowned africans then up with our feet and see now if not enough is enough. the agency has dominated south african politics for the last 3 decades, but frustration among voices and voting trains in recent elections has some predicting that the party will soon lose its grip on power. south africa to day.

it is still, there was the, an equal society that it was before. 1994 the the n c government has failed to transform oh the, the economy to make it more inclusive. the if spec taishan is that the n c will not get a majority vote in the next election, which, which is a 15 month away in 2024 in the beginning. oh, of 2024. so this rotation is that the, this is susan with jordan. this is not the south africa, maybe imagine they would be living in decades into democracy. and many are losing patience with the a and c. but with his re election, the policy is pending its hopes on so remote puerto, to turn its fortunes around. here some more stories making headlines around the world. hundreds of travelers are stranded at iceland international airport. their
