Russia is set to hold Regional Elections next month devonian his allies had been campaigning to get their candidates elected but for now his family and friends are holding on to hope that not only pulls through. Well lets cross over to our Washington Bureau for more on reaction from the u. S. And d. W. Correspondent. Is joining us hi abbi weve seen and heard germanys response to the apparent poisoning of Alexei Navalny but what about the United States how has have the latest developments been received there. Thats right pablo in that report there we heard strong condemnation from angle americal weve also heard strong remarks from Boris Johnson and other World Leaders and we would certainly expect a similarly sharp reaction from a sitting u. S. President unfortunately we havent heard that directly from donald trump as of right now a few hours ago though the National Security council did tweet that the u. S. Is deeply troubled and called the poisoning of a completely reprehensible act they also say that the United States will work with its allies and the International Community to hold those in russia accountable interestingly we also heard from former National Security advisor john bolton who either quit or was fired depending on who you ask he tweeted that trump should demand answers from moscow and as youll remember he was one of the hawkish figures in the trumpet ministration when dealing with the russians but again trump hasnt directly said anything yet and this lack of response may not be surprising given trump has been reluctant to criticize russia in the past but at the same time we have to remember that the u. S. Did join an International Effort in 2018 after the poisoning of former russian spy a survey screwball and his daughter washington did impose sanctions on moscow and expelled dozens of Russian Diplomats what about the democratic president ial candidate joe biden he was speaking earlier today in wilmington delaware what did he have to say. Thats right pablo biden did take questions actually from the press today and was mostly domestic issues however when deval need 1st fell ill biden was quick to slam trump for being weak on russia this has been a widely held belief by democrats throughout the Trump Presidency as we know and it started with the alleged russian interference in the 26000. 00 election which trump continues to downplay and dismiss more recently the president brushed off reports that russia had placed bounties on u. S. Soldiers in afghanistan and biden has repeatedly said that he would be much tougher on putin and other autocrats if he were the commander in chief that trump is more than happy to cozy up to offshore tarion leaders and pick fights with allies which has hurt americas standing in the world to be front and center on days like today pablo t w correspondent following this story for us from washington thanks for that.

And corruption amid the corona crisis south africas Auditor General described the large scale misuse of covert 1000 really. Funds as frightening. Hello im told me a live ball welcome to news africa were glad you could join us majorette has suffered the effects of a decade logged insurgency by the boko haram Jihadist Group part of the governments response apart from a military operation has been to offer an amnesty to repent and militants these fighters of an rehabilitated and steered back into society except they sometimes end up living alongside the very victims of their attacks as correspondent find if a child has been finding out in the city of maiduguri in northeast nigeria. What come to my degree this sign existed long before the city gained negative notoriety for being the birthplace of boko haram in the past my degree was known as a Major Trading up a decade into the hardest insurgency more than 2000000 people have been displaced some of them find refuge in this camp at 1st sight not much has changed since we visited last year but this time we need to form a book or a militants who have also been assigned to this camp like mari he learns how to repair shoes during the 2 years he was with boko haram he learned something else. They wanted us to be part of their insurgency and become people who are willing to attack and kill. We went through a training to be able to kill and kill. The 45 year old claims. Considered him to all to be a move to rock. The camp he still stigmatised he says he was forced to join the group. When we came to the camp a lot of people accused us of so many things. But that doesnt bother us. We just want to live in peace but if we did it. With we 1st judge doesnt live in the camp hes becoming a hairdresser and claims he repents his actions. Those people ive killed whenever i think about it i have sleepless nights my other forgive me i want to get married go to school i want to be a very good person i think that if. I would you and i are both part of every government funded Training Program to help reintegrate militants that sounds like mockery to the victims here who fled their homes lost their relatives and face an uncertain future. She did it to 9 you know to 99 i dont know how my life and that of my children will look. Why does that its better to train our children than them so many people here agree on this if they trained our children it would have more impact and were angry that. Victims and former militants living side by side preparing to gather for a entrance into society wants to respond thats the goal but outside of the camp life is anything but stable. The capital city of borno state was considered a relatively safe haven but just a few weeks ago several rocket propelled explosives landed here in this city allegedly fired by militants many here in my degree as the violence is far from being contained. In the wake of new attacks it is difficult to convince people here to reintegrate form. So many show thats very safe around them so just how fair is it to rehabilitate these people without doing the same for their victims for. The answer seems simple. It is absolutely unfair. And it also encourages dog who have never joined the insurgency to also d i tempted because they are even more. Victims he says rehabilitation why violence is still ongoing its counterproductive but as other observers put it amnesty to acts militants though a bitter pill to swallow may be the only way to achieve peace once the war on terror is over. Joining me now from cardinal in Northern Nigeria is pasta dr james and we hear from the interface mediations. And Nongovernmental Organization involved in the right a collaboration programs for form of boko haram members dr we thank you for joining us why is the reintegration of these sex militants so urgent when some people would argue that they should be paying for their actions in prison. Well its always been because the more you keep them where are the more detention and the more you get more people who are for mass going to join their way out the program men if you put. Fuse strongly dark draws for my us. How much even more privileges than the young people who did not participate in the violence and so if you want to reintegrate we feel that the government should take its time and the people involved like ourselves not morally just leaders should be recruited to go and deprogram the people in the fields and reprogram them to was integrated there now coming back to decide how art they need. Empowerment and you give this right you cant. Want that life so nice that you balance this i want that will come back or receiving them when i will receive them with a more open minded and that also did not. Mean to go and fight what you see if you know what i want to get i support so from you know we we have reached out to t
