Pass in nigeria before her rom strikes again abducting dozens of school girls and have the latest updates. The first twenty seventeen was one of the dull christie is fake human rights in recent history thats according to a new rich. By Amnesty International it covers the safety of human rights in a hundred fifty Nine Countries and in direct criticism of the Trump Administration the group from veiled its findings in the u. S. For the first time has he called hayden has more from washington d. C. A bleak assessment on the state of human rights in twenty seventeen they will not look back and draw any lessons from this they will look back and they will see that they will. All of the drafting of some of the dockers chapters in modern history the forward of the four hundred page report takes aim at specific countries first and foremost me and mar accusing the government of committing crimes against humanity which forced almost seven hundred thousand Rohingya Muslims to flee it singles out saudi arabias blockade for creating a humanitarian catastrophe in yemen all of the countries fighting eisel in iraq and syria for not protecting civilians and south sudan for crimes which forced thousands of people to flee from there donald j. Trump is calling it comes out the United States calling president Donald Trumps plan to ban entry from citizens of several muslim majority countries a transparently hateful move and it blames european leaders for creating the conditions for what he calls shocking abuses of refugees in libya it names countries it says are consistently violating human rights such as turkey china russia than israel and egypt and iran it also pointed the finger at six african countries for stifling public protests this is the very first time that Amnesty International has chosen to unveil their annual report here in the United States and they chose the Capitol Building they say in large part because they believe what they call his nationalistic and sometimes even hateful rhetoric and policies of President Donald Trump are spreading across the globe anything of the us does has a massive in a Multiplier Effect across the world but they want em bored and by the fact that you know trampling on human rights abandoning human values is something which is acceptable today we asked the white house for a response but didnt hear back as for Amnesty International it says its not all bad out there it sees the rise of hate being met with the rise of a resistance from the u. S. One. To poland. Then this way or two around. Which embassy says gives it some hope that just maybe twenty team wont be quite as bleak in so many places probably calling out zero washington philippines president rodriguez to turkey is one of the leaders who specifically criticize in this years report his Anti Drugs Campaign has resulted in thousands of extra judicial killings by Police Officers thats according to the report it says the authorities that report to president the tatty of encourage these summary executions meanwhile relatives of victims live in fear of reprisals if they speak out at the same time attacks of his human rights defenders have increased since president eternity encouraged police to shoot anyone who was quote obstructing justice but weve been speaking to see the root is a fellow in residence at the social weather stations thats a social Research Institute in the philippines and he says the president s policy is a controversial but he remains popular. Certainly the scope of the killings in the drug war has been accurately reflected in a number of International Reports the Philippine Administration would on the other hand retort that their anticrime. Tactics are working and thats why they are serving the filipino people in that manner the data that social weather stations produces quarterlies shows that in fact president to charity is extremely popular people are very satisfied with the way he is running the government they might have some quibbles for instance most people in the philippines would prefer that drug suspects not be some merrily executed but rather face trial but in the end the fact that crime is down is the sort of thing that leads to approval for the president there are some voices that are bringing out the church for instance the Catholic Church is providing refuge to the families who as you say are worried about reprisals there are lawyers movements trying to produce more protection for the victims and so out of so there are people pushing back but the fact of the matter is in a president ial country like the philippines the president has the perp on durance of power the u.

Police dozens of schoolgirls feared missing after an attack by barker on the village of done that in year they state in the north east of the country there are conflicting reports about the situation and the number of girls who are unaccounted for but of course everyone will remember in twenty fourteen the attack on the town of chip uk when it had done more than two hundred seventy girls from that lets go live now to our correspondent armitage as hes in my degree which is not a tall far from this village in your base state and take us through the sequence of events this happened we understand on monday evening is that right. Exactly it happened late on monday evening when the students were gathering for a late evening meal and then there were gunshots in town then the the the fight is suspected boko haram fighters moved on to their school which is the government goes Technical School in and then they were dressed according to eyewitnesses there were dressed in military uniforms and some trucks they headed straight to the stalls food stores of the school picked up some food items and then abducted some of the girls but that was not the original story what we were told earlier when this incident happened when the news broke on monday evening we were told that the aim for the foodstuff in the store and left most of the goals have scaled the fence and run into the bushes it later emerge after twenty four hours in fact close to forty eight hours later emerged that. Some of the girls have indeed been taken by these fighters now i witness is students who escaped the raid told reporters that in fact they saw some of their colleagues being loaded onto trucks and then moved away with now yesterday evening on wednesday evening. The your best of government issued a statement saying that more than fifty of these students have been taken away as still missing after i had count but they were not sure whether the been taken away i was later the state the same government issued another statement saying that they got information that many of these girls have been rescued by the Nigerian Army now were hearing from the involved from the area as well from parents from locals that at least seventy four of the missing girls have been found by the military and they have been taken to a gate down where they were treated for four main minor injuries but also there are reports saying that at least two of the girls have died in the course of this incident all right so the numbers have been disputed ok but what we can say definitively is a book. Of finances we believe to be part of boko haram have struck again and have taken some girls. Well that is theres a machine for now they have not claimed responsibility yet but that is what people assume remember in two thousand and fourteen episode two thousand and fourteen we had a similar case in chibok. Quote unquote just dressed as military personnel went to the school and took away these goes up to now about one hundred of them are still not accounted for. Because issues have been going on some of them have been released but of course this latest incident was sort of traumatic for many people especially in the town of duchy and your base stayed after what happened in two thousand and fourteen in chibok now would be the and zite the the the war he was heightened after front for for twenty four hours for twenty four or forty eight hours when the government did not come forth with any explanation as to what exactly happened in that now were hearing about this rescue which of course you will agree that is dramatically different from what we saw in two thousand and fourteen when four days this occurred it was this did not act well to to see how many people how many of these goes goes i mean could be saved so it resulted in this long standoff between the Nigerian Government and boko haram that of course dovetail into these negotiations all right for now thank you very much indeed clearly this is a story that is developing and ahmed interest will bring us the very latest details as they become clearer thanking.
