A father and daughter tell the story of her abduction from college in Kaduna state

A father and daughter tell the story of her abduction from college in Kaduna state.

We continue to reflect conversations about the human impact of insecurity in Nigeria. Kidnapping is a big issue, especially in the north of the country. A father and his teenage daughter, who was abducted from her school in Kaduna state, tell us their story. 

In Ukraine, thousands of people are trapped in Severodonetsk with a diminishing supply of clean water, sanitation and electricity, according to  spokesperson for the UN Humanitarian Affairs office, Saviano Abreu. Russia had pledged to open a humanitarian corridor in order to evacuate civilians from a chemical plant, but it doesn't seem to have happened. We hear from someone whose father was killed in Severodonetsk in March. 

And we explain why a government minister in Pakistan has urged people to drink less tea to help the country’s economy. What do the nation’s tea drinkers think of his plea?
