If the o. P. s Prime Minister has defended the Ongoing Operations saying the actions after the grey forces cant be ignored. That is massacre of perpetrator last week against older men and women in uniform of the Northern Command was carried out while they were at their most vulnerable in their pajamas. And among those it towards where did this search at the business acts live us not of but to mobilize our Law Enforcement and defense machinery in an operation intended to end the prevailing lawlessness in the region. Al jazeera, as morgan has more now from god, everything in sudan near the ethiopian border. Refugees continue to arrive at the sudanese european border.

And if you appear now, whats happened upon their arrival is that they are screened for health reasons, but also for security reasons. Because some of those who have arrived so far are former combat sense. Who put down their arms, fleeing the conflict and coming to seek refuge here and go about if they sudanese Authorities Say they are quite concerned about what is unfolding. Once its started. In these cover, the Sudanese Government announced that it is shutting down its borders. Hearing about it as well as neighboring states and deployed more than 6000. 00 troops.

He has called the Prime Minister and expressed his readiness to mediate in the conflict. And its a great region expressing concern that is something that the head of the, Sovereignty Council also expressed in this b. S. , the security and Defense Committee meeting on monday. But the 2 sides, the Prime Minister of sudan, abdullah and the head of the Sovereignty Council both met with the security advisor of the g. O. P. And Prime Minister abu ahmed, who said that this conflict will get, will be sorted in the shortest time possible. And that mediation by sudan, or by a god, is not needed at the moment.

Staying in africa, a senior official from south africas governing party is in court on corruption charges. Supporters of a smuggler, sholay who is secretary and all of the a. N. C. Appeared outside the court, protesting the charges. Its linked to a multimillion dollar government project. One magazine surely was a provincial leader. He denies any role in the alleged scandal. 7 others have been charge. Lets go straight to family to miller, who is outside the courthouse in bloemfontein forest. So a high profile suspect in court today. Family. Remind us 1st, what this case is all about and how emotionally said to be involved. Hopefully this goes back to about 20142015 when the local government here in the free state awarded this multimillion dollar contract amounting to between 15. 00 and 20000000. 00, awarded the contract to upgrade venture. But it appears that rather than doing the work that they were supposed to reach, was identifying homes that had as business roofing, which is wrong to people rather not gentrified those homes. And removing that reefing, it feels as if that money was siphoned off to subcontractors. And its alleged that they smuggle, surely he was the premier of this province at the time. And at least a 1000000. 00 of that money. There are a number of companies, profile politicians as well as businesspeople who have already appeared in court on similar charges as they seem like a few lego be facing today. But the concern. 6 is that loans of money that was siphoned that was looted by this child and with regard to any smugglers, specifically many people question whether or not these charges would amount to anything if you would seem to have a jail time and the way in which she is going to be charged this morning is according to an act that says that officials. C its illegal, her officials not report any corruption that they may come across. I think its likely that there is not a shilling will face a difficult time in court. Right. I see a lot of people outside the courthouse there where you are. This case has certainly ignited passions in south africa. What does this mean for the governing African National congress . The but this is yet another crisis school be the governing party here in south africa, the African National congress has been plagued by longer delegations of corruption. This time, arguably, the 2nd most important position in the party, the secretary general, or the only lesser they leave president of the party himself. And here outside the courtroom, thousands of the voters are all of a smug and surely as one of the a. N. C. Have come out to show their support. For the sake of the general, they say this is politically motivated. They say that an attack on a smug as she lay is an attack on the a n c. And it will only lead to further divisions, little party thats already struggling. We know that these divisions mean looking at the president s who are more closely on the one side who has said that he is now standing against corruption. That this is the party that my correction. Clearly not government. And on the other hand, you have a party thats plagued by a number of scandals and now corruption charges against specific individuals. Thank you very much for that comment. I mean their reporting, they are side the courthouse in bloemfontein where the a. N. C. Is governing party is chief, is going to court today. Thank you. Security and Election Officials from the u. S. Government have released a statement declaring this years president ial election was the most secure in american history. They say theres no evidence Voting Systems were compromised. This as president of trans continues to make unsubstantiated claims of widespread voter fraud. Alan fischer reports. Its unusual for donald trump to keep such a low profile. Hes made one appearance but hasnt spoken in public for a week. His twitter feed continues to push claims of a stolen election on thursday. He tweeted a report alleging 2700000 votes were deleted from Voting Systems across the country. The company who made the machines says that didnt happen, and a Government Election watchdog insists the election was the most secured in american history. The elections, infrastructure, government, coordinating council, and the election infrastructure sector, coordinating committees, part of the department of Homeland Security issued a joint statement and emphasized in bold type. There is no evidence that any Voting System deleted or lost votes changed votes, or was in any way compromised. One of the major contributors for making this the most secure election in u. S. History is the fact. There were large numbers with vote by mail and actual having physical paper ballots.

On capitol hill, democrats continue to urge their republican colleagues to accept the election result and get back to business when it comes to the election.

Neither does the president , congress, Congressional Republicans are deliberately casting doubt on our elections for no other reason. But fear of donald trump. Ok, the biden team is pushing for access to the daily intelligence briefing. They got them during the campaign, but have been blocked since the election by a white house contesting the result. Will republican senators have expressed concern that could impact u. S. Security well stopping short of contradicting the president . Look, one of these 2 men will be the president United States after the Election Results have come in. And i think at this point, just as a matter of protecting our nations interests, i do think that both the president and his and his competition here in the of Vice President biden should have access to those classified reports. President trumps legal team insists theres a process to follow that could take some time and it continues to fundraise to help the president s efforts in court. Alan fischer al jazeera washington. Meanwhile, former u. S. President barack obama has weighed day in saying democracy is being undermined, because some republicans continue to go along with chums claims of election fraud. They appear to be motivated in part because the president doesnt like to lose and never admits loss. A more troubled by the fact that other republican officials who clearly know better are going along with this are humoring him in this fashion. It is one more step in the legitimizing, not just the incoming by administration, but democracy, joe. And thats a dangerous path.

In 2015, i thought so she won the 1st parliamentary election ending the militarys tight grip on power. A witchcraft that more than 50 is a foul is following developments for us from young on it was expected, this is nothing new. The n l d themselves actually cold this result several days ago.

And they have revealed that they are well over the number needed to form a government. They need over 322 seats in order to choose the president who then forms the government. And theyve already got 340 states, and they are likely to get several more. Theres still 64. 00 seats to be counted. And in 2015 they got 370. 00 in total, they are now on track to get even more than they got in 2015, which is, you know, quite surprising.

Europe. 6 people including baby, did not make it. Dozens of bodies washed up in the libyan pool to point to another tragedy. Coastguards, a local fisherman did what they could to rescue about 43 survivors sitting clearly in shock on the beach. Doctors without borders said they saw the loved ones disappear beneath the waves, dying in front of their eyes. 4 ship wrecks in 3 days have killed more than 120 people, and these tragedies repeat over and over again of people trying to flee libya if there needs to be. I think frankly great empathy for the plight of these women, men and children who are seeking a better life. Part of the solution obviously involves dealing with the situation in libya and making it safer. This being a recent result ins of people taking the migration route, mainly from libya and tunisia to europe. The risk for these people seeking a better life is huge. The Un Refugee Agency says more than 20000 people who attempted to take mediterranean crossing have died in the last 7 years.

Mobile phone footage shows the boat catching fire off the coast of senegal with fishermen trying to rescue those they could. And buckets of people burnt alive. Sitting next to him was a 14 year old boy who drowned as other clung to him in panic. When the boy that died and i left for the same reason, there are no schools to go to. The oceans are empty of fish. There are no jobs, no work in europe, at least there is hope. The father of the dead doof has been arrested and charged with Involuntary Manslaughter for sending his son to europe. Among the dead was also 29 year old metal worker and he heard that aging europeans dying a coronavirus were leaving jobs vacant for Young African men to take a false rumor. His morning father explains, he warned his son not to pay the 800. 00 to the traffickers. For those wanting to go, dont go, i have succeeded in my life here with knowledge having to leave dont be impatient or time to buy. In the fishing town of m. Bore europe appears to be so close with so many tourists who come and go as they wish. But africans are unable to travel with such ease. Even legally explains migrant rights activist, im suffocating. Many here consider a synagogue in a prison, where europeans barricade themselves closing their borders to african countries, at the same time, to open all markets and borders to them. While some 570 s. Have died this year trying to make it to europe, almost 1600, mostly west africans arrived in spain, canary islands, just last year. In the distance is the house belonging to a family who has migrated to europe and has Running Water electricity. The internet and here is the construction of another home funded by a migrant that has settled to the United States, compare this to the homes behind that have hardly any electricity or water with that visible difference in wealth with those family that have a relative abroad. And those that havent, that is pushing so many families and parents to send their children on boats to europe despite the risks. Despite his ordeal shake him back, he has the blessing of his parents to attempt the crossing again.

Theyve taken the government unconstitutional and we can only make them react with our protest. Was the protesters insist lawmakers perpetrated a coup guitar hero, who in fact, weve witnessed the kidnapping of our democracy. The congressmen have committed treason during one of the worst moments of our history. Thank you. As the crisis deepened, Human Rights Watch says the rule of law is under threat. The organization of american states that the constitutional tribunals must confirm impeachment was legal. Former president , this gotta cast doubt over the decision, echoing protesters right here in my music and feel far as have a problem of legality and legitimacy. Those backing the interim government continue to defend its legitimacy. Its not a code, its not unconstitutional. Impeachment, in the strictly constitutional point of view is not meant to incapacity. As many argue its moral incapacity. It is an absolutely legitimate decision. Next week, the Constitutional Court will clarify what moral incapacity means. But even if it favors be scarry, he will not be affected by the resolution, because the courts decisions are not retroactive to it.
