This move was purely a selfdefense measure small countries when they feel the risk of a stronger enemy which is about to destroy them. They often carry out a preemptive strike like this one of the middle ages there is mohammed is in the city of gondar, which is near the ted gray region. And he says there have been reports of people being targeted because of their ethnicity. This country. I mean, is not the 1st time weve seen a nicole file of ethnic clashes or violence based on ethnicity. And if you actually, even before the operation began, it was an alarming rate. Something that has led to the displacement of more than 2000000, people in the past 2 years. But we are seeing a new level of the problem given the huge amount of hate speech and incitement all social media. But also, organizations like the European Human Rights Commission are talking about people being targeted just because of the absolutely crucial for the commission play. They visited some prisoners in in prison. And that they fled their complaint up. There was only arrested because of which they community, they would community, they help from all the killings in my cobra shocked the nation to the whole well, the Un Refugee Agency is saying that more than 14 and a half 1000 people have fled to sudan because of the violence and to grey, nearly a 1000 refugees are entering sudan on a daily basis.

With her children and pregnant sister from a card, she says the fighting in the region forced her and her family to flee with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Then that again, we saw people being slaughtered. There was blood all over. We fled because we didnt want to die. Some women lost their husbands. We came with nothing but our lives, no money. These clothes were given to me by the people here. Thousands of refugees have crossed into sudan over the past week. Many recount similar stories from the region where the if you being government has imposed a telecommunication blackout since the start of an offensive against the Peoples Liberation front. The government wants to get rid of the t. V. So if the people are living in conflict, their people have been slaughtered with knives, pregnant, women have had their bellies opened, the government is bombing civilians and killing us all. So the news authorities have closed borders with since the start of the conflict. And there are challenges in responding to the influx of refugees, aid organizations say theyre shortages in Relief Services, which refugees here need. Thats because up until last week, this place was largely an abandoned town. And even though this is a temporary shelter for refugees before they were settled into camps elsewhere, to arrive seeking safety, putting a strain on an already dire here with their own situation. Refugees here say there are shortages of Drinking Water and food. So dense commission for refugees says nearly 1000 people are being richest, a daily, and have called for more action to respond to the situation. Resurfacing of refugees here is great, and were hoping to authorities, International Community chain to be in because the situation is unbearable. There are so many refugees coming in, most of them walking for hours and days. Most of them are scattered in farms nearby, sticking their way here. New refugees are being just heard every hour, the day and her family trying to settle into what is now their new home. She says she doesnt know how long theyll be here. But until the fighting stops, she says you want to go back to make a draw and ethiopia, people, morgan on to 0. Medina to money and got a lot of damn. Well, youre on a schedule as a lecturer in Political Science at georgia when it college joins us now from atlanta by skype and just listening to his report there about the thousands that have fled the fighting and theyve crossed the border into sudan aid agencies are struggling or they dont really have the capacity to deal with this. What are we likely to see in the coming weeks and months could that there may be many more refugees and casualties in the conflict. Thank you for having me. What i would hope is the goal, but it will soon primarily, and secondly, civilian casualties will be limited. But i just would like to point out one simple error, but very consequential one from the last report of all that if you just may depend government. If your parents believe that is not to grants or they the government doesnt like we wouldnt be interested towards that in any way. The issue is with that. And this is very important to understand why this war or conflict house actually arrived to the situation that we have today. The p. L. F. Which it to be and people even issued for it has been undermining and be legitimizing the Prime Minister of the elements of meditation for the last 2 years. And currently, you know, its in this latest flare up of fighting just to be clear that actually both sides of been accused of atrocities against civilians. So far there is no clear confirmation or indication that the government has done it, that any human rights this or its actions leading to any. And then we have, were going to truly have to treat that lack of clarity in it in itself with some caution that we just tell me about what are you hearing in the region in terms of attacks on s m, r a. Whats now, whats happening that so far the Radio Station up a little with the us. What are the mr action house confirm it died . A few rockets landed targeting the airport in some civilian areas and their government has never, you know, say that they are interfering in the conflict. They have been very much or watching whats going on from the sidelines. But it made the side of the unofficial, invitation by that c. B. L. It to actually drug or d. J. , which is this party into, into the conflict. And the very unfortunately, one of the governments options for avoiding thats an aria. I mean, the government must be able to understand where it is. If youre going to government or your gender meant that the people it is making sure it actually include this in a nice, thereby trying to go on a support within its own region to ground as completely have been in lock down for the last 30 years. They never had any options other than in a typical it made them to believe that the whole of the some but the situation that we really need to understand is that the people, if were the one thats been trying to deliver the government that they believe was the one thats been involving the proceeds like the autumn, or leave edition army interrogating it in a gun. Horace in a very different region is in the country. And what weve been seeing in beijing going to one of the only 199 to do my humanitarian humanitarian work as an aid agencies, a warning about to great facing a crisis. Right. Why doesnt the government then allow full access to those . Well, because that might be one way of alleviating the situation, giving some relief to people. Definitely some communication must be stored, stored, and access to still monitor organizations must be provided. But at the same time, the whole new world of news to understand its yoga is fighting for it. Thats for it. The celebrity and the d. P. A live has been undermining a government in calling them basically names. And the government is out of option. But to store to store a law and order and look honestly should not order. Thanks feel his yanis get in the joining us like trip Political Science at that. Joining us from atlanta. Thank you. Thank you. Well, just moving on to other stories. Were following this hour on meaning state security is saying that its for an assassination attempt on Prime Minister nicole paasschen yun and National Security services arrested. The former head of state security auditive on its yen and 2 others in connection with the plot is refusing to step down despite protests on minions are angry with him for signing a cease fire with azerbaijan to end a 6 weeks of fighting peace deal secures territorial advances for azerbaijan in their battle for the disputed region of new well, Ethnic Armenians have been torching their own homes as they leave villages just outside the region before sundays hunder of, of land to azerbaijan. Many of them have lived there for more than 20 years, and they all fear eous at now having to give that territory up from calbert jar on the road out of the disputed region. On the abdulhamid reports, they came for a last pilgrimage. Very soon, the monastery of that event will be off limits to armenians nestled in the mountain gorge and killed by john a district west of the unclear evidence thats about to be returned to azerbaijan. Russian peacekeepers are already here giving people a sense of safety, a final prayer, one more memory, a little souvenir to take back home. Theres an overwhelming sense of defeat among her minions, often too difficult to express. Stopping the war was the right thing, but not like this. Its unfair, but we have to do it. It was an equal fight. The eyes of the world are wide open, but the world preferred oil and gold instead of justice, and they sacrificed us, even though azerbaijan has promised to save guard historical and religious sites, many fear they will be disagreed. It is still crossed as to tear, for centuries is now being dismantled along the road. And megs it is towards armenia. People who were given only 6 days to pack belongings, accumulated over a lifetime are fleeing among them retreating armenian forces. And while they head out, russian peacekeepers are being deployed in killed by jar. Many people are not intent on leaving behind what they have built up over the past 3 decades. Their sense of despair couldnt be bored, clear. Smoke billowing from their homes that theyve purposely set on fire. The memories of lifetimes in ashes. About 5000. 00 Ethnic Armenians lived here. Theres barely any one left village after village deserted. If you still remaining are preparing to leave soon. Its history that repeats itself somehow. These are the ruins of the house of unnecessary family. Many others lived in this area and they had to leave when azerbaijan lost the 1st kind of a hole or in the early 1990, s. And armenia occupied this region back then hundreds of thousands of as aires which is staffed of the care about and the 7 surrounding districts, but some, i mean is like several man at 2nd. Yeah. And also had to relocate and now hes doing so again, were going to raise one of them. Were not leaving, were being thrown out as a bludgeon expelled us with this war. Painful i was instapundit fighting. When i heard about the ceasefire. I didnt think about it, but it turns out that ive been displaced once more. Im going to armenia, but i have no place thrown on to the streets. As we head out, an orange glow brightens the night. More houses set ablaze and no one around. I mean in presence here is truly over. This is the story of a capital, a ship, a departure with no date of return. But they still hope that one day they will come back, put up that high meet aljazeera, killed by john with unease ally from london. Much more still to tell you about the election that could set a new direction for moldova, with its stay tight to eastern europe, or perhaps look to the west and jockeys getting back in the sack in the saddle in zimbabwe. But the coronavirus pandemic isnt the biggest challenge facing one of the nations oldest sports now, United States has set yet another record for new code 19 cases, reporting more than 180000 infections in 24 hours, the death rate is also rising. Fosters hospitalizations are at the highest levels yet some states of imposed any a complete shutdown, but president elect joe biden is ruling out introducing a nationwide lockdown despite repeated claims by the trunk campaign that he will. The u. S. Centers for Disease Control as for cars that the death toll could jump by another 36000 in the next 4 weeks, joins us live now from los angeles. And so that must be a great deal of concern about this spike and numbers and by deaths and infection rates. No question about it. I mean, it is a very dire situation. As the governor of oregon said in her Weekly Briefing of the dreaded winter surge is now upon us. And indeed, over the past week, more than 1000 people in the u. S. Are dying from corona virus, on average, every day. In 2 days this past week, there were more than 1400 deaths in a single day on friday. There were 1389 deaths across the country. And since the pandemic began here earlier this year, more than 244000, people in the United States have, have died according to official accounts. The virus is hitting the midwest particularly hard, the states of north and south dakota too thinly populated states in the midwest. They are now considered in terms of the rates of positivity and the numbers of deaths per capita to be among the worst places on the entire planet. For covert 19, wisconsin, another midwestern state recorded 7777 new cases on friday and according to the institute for Health Metrics at the university of washington in seattle. The forecast from that group which is highly respected is that by the beginning of march 2021, there could be more than 438000 deaths in the United States that would exceed the number of all military personnel killed on the u. S. Side in the 2nd world war and a nationwide, down has been ruled out, but nonetheless, down on new measures being imposed in a number of deaths, different states. And just tell us about what that the hot spots right now. This is again, this is, you know, part of this patchwork approach that weve seen in this country. A better condoned by the trumpet, ministration for months. Now. For example, in north dakota, the governor there republican ordered mandatory mask wearing in places of business in public places. The governor of south dakota has declined to do that, but the governors of california, oregon and washington are purging all of their citizens. If they leave the area when they come back or if they have guests coming in, they have to quarantine for 14 days. Thats not mandatory, but theyre begging people to do that. The governor of new mexico has imposed probably the closest thing to a total shutdown in the United States with severe restrictions on social gatherings and Business Activities of all kinds and so on and so forth. But again, it is, it is a patchwork. And even in some places that are extremely hard hit like the state of idaho, for example, the governor there, a republican will not mandate mass wearing the same is true in south dakota. So the, the other thing that we have to bear in mind is that theres a big american holiday coming up. Its only really in the United States. A week celebrates thanksgiving, that dates back to the early days in myths and legends of the country. At its founding with the pilgrims in the 17th century, lots of people come together. Its traditional, have big family gatherings. People are begging governors mayors. Everyone begging people not to do that this year just to hold it virtually or, or try to, you know, limit the number of people that you have over for the turkey stuffing and all the fixings. Ok, brad, you ended on that note. Thank you very much from brunel. All supporters of u. S. President , donald trump of been staging a mass protest in washington d. C. In support of his claims of Election Fraud. They marched close to the white house a week after joe biden was projected to be the winner of the election. Similar events have been planned across the u. S. President has yet to concede defeat, and hes issued legal challenges in several states bought with little success early a trunk way to the crowds as his motorcade drove through the protest. He was on his way to one of his golf courses just outside the city. And my mission is to lead the country and its pretty bored, bored, bored, bored here. We have not given up on dirty irregularities in voting in your being fixed when we were out there, there is only a watching the vote and maricopa county. You know, its all right, go down. If youre a mysterious and weird ways, its more efficient. This isnt over, its not even close to being over. And those people that are telling you right now that it is over, are lying to you. Well, democratic, left handed governor of pennsylvania, John Fetterman has backed the states voting system. He tweeted this, saying that from the more than 6000000. 00 votes cost, the state found only 2. 00 cases of criminal vice of fraud. And that both by republican voters, he said in a subsequent tweet that showed the system had worked i was in jordan is following events for us in washington and festival. Tell us about these protests have been happening in washington. Have we seen that been similar demonstrations elsewhere in the country . Well, there were supposed have been demonstrations of a similar nature across the country, but none of them has gotten the same kind of attention as the one here in washington where several 1000 people. And thats just a rough estimate turned out on a sunny fall day to say that they wanted either the votes to count it properly or for the vote count to stop. And to stop a conspiracy which they claim is stopping the stealing of the vote. There is a massive conspiracy to deny donald trump a 2nd term in office. Well, as we heard late in the week from election to sufficient across the country, there has been no widespread conspiracy or evidence of massive voter fraud. And so the vote tallies are very likely going to stand. We also know that theyve been dealing with a number of legal challenges from Donald Trumps president ial campaign. And those efforts have not been successful even though the president is pushing on with a federal callate challenge. Excuse me, in the state of pennsylvania, a state which as you just noted, is a already saying that there werent any widespread problems of electoral fraud in that state. And we have seen some very, i suppose, in some ways on unprecedented developments since the result of the action became clear, the hasnt been any kind of transition process taking place with the white house, refusing to cooperate with bidens team. Whats happening with well, the biden team is still love putting on pressure on the federal government to issue a letter that would authorize the Transition Team to set up offices across federal agencies so that they can get a good sense of how things have been operating in those agencies, as well as to firm up plans that the president has for leading the country in the next 4 years. But without that authorization and the money that comes with it, not only will it be difficult for the transition to figure out exactly what has been happening on the federal level, but they also cannot do the very important work of running background checks on some 4000. 00. People or so who would be federal appointees who would need to be confirmed by the u. S. Senate . And without doing those background checks, it makes it impossible for the president elect to suggest his nominees and to have a Senate Committees ready to review those nominees on his 1st day in office. It really does push that process back. And as people who have covered washington for a long time will tell you, it really does hurt the effectiveness of these federal agencies if they dont actually have permanently installed members of the Political Class who are in these positions. Some of them are political appointees, some of them are career servants who are appointed to these jobs, but the fact is, without the background checks, you cant get a Senate Confirmation hearing without that hearing. You cant get the job and then basically people are asking whos in charge. So that is a real concern. Of course, the biggest concern is that when you have these vacancies in the National Security sector, intelligence, the military, other parts of the government that makes it harder for the president and his team to protect the country from either physical or cyber attacks. And again, that is all the more reason why the body that ministration is reportedly considering some sort of legal action to move that process along. Again, thats reportedly theres been no such announcement from the president elects team in delaware. Thank you from washington roslyn. Jordan, joining us now via skype from reston. Virginia is rena shah. She is a lifelong republican who founded the Group Republican women for biden. And we were just talking about the obstacles to joe bidens transition process. Not going to get any easier when hes inaugurated, as it, hes dealing with priorities around a pandemic. The prospects of the economy going into recession in a senate that might block his every move. How difficult is the start of this presidency going to be for him . You know, i dont think its going to be very rocky purchased by them because he comes into this role. No stranger to the oval office. I think its been since president each w. Bush, 41 bush, 41 since the last time we thought american president walked into the oval office with this much, not so Security Intelligence as well as Foreign Policy experience. So i trust that joe biden will be very comfortable. What hes been doing in the days since essentially locking up the election and look yesterday, it was just more of a formality for him hitting 306 electoral votes, which donald trump hit back in 2016. But hes known for many days now that this will be his. So hes assembled a great team, his coaching 19 task worth of incredibly diverse in terms of gender, ethnicity and race. Hes bringing that going and ill give you cancer. I appreciate what you say there about that the wealth of experience, joe biden has behind him, but youre confident that hes going to be able to deliver on these policies and proposals given the circumstances in washington. Well, the circumstances are not ideal, in fact, they are so far from normal that many of us are wondering if we are on the edge 1st. Its on how these next few weeks will go. There are some formalities in our process which rely on sort of final lector, isnt there in the states and then it goes to congress. And these are all sort of just formalities in the past. Trump is certainly complicate the process. The fact that he has not letting the Transition Team of joe biden have access and get clearance and, and really go through some of the 4 of the formality of the leaders of government that need to be told prior to 9 grecian day. That just that sum up for success, its what every previous american president has done. And certainly hes doing this out despite at the engines trumping. If people are doing this because they really do not like by then they do not like care if they do not want this administration. But the fact of the fact this administration is prepared, senator, here is right now. The intelligence briefing she receives due to her stature on the Senate Committee is more than what joe biden even gets on a daily basis right now because hes not receiving a president ial daily briefing. So again, i just have full confidence in this team to really make up for lost time. Joe biden has said that he is determined to unite the country, wants to be a president for all people. Youre saying that, you know, hes dealing with an administration now that is obviously not prepared to cooperate with him, but in many ways as we have seen from these scenes on the street since the polls close in the election. And today in washington, President Trump is very much, or he represents a genuine constituency in the country. It is, it is very divided. Its very polarized. I would agree with that and nobody can reject the fact that some 72000000 of my fellow americans decided to vote for president trap and in greater numbers than they did last time. So that is remarkable. I met a lot, however, i think it comes to a few things that these were the sentiments i heard in speaking with republican women around the country that drug these past many months, despite the president s failings present chance failings on containing this, this pandemic on. Really, i believe a lack of leadership on his part. There were people who chose to make a decision, and people like myself decided aCross Party Lines and decided to say we were comfortable with things like tax hike, which we know can slow the economy or life on the conservative. Im certainly can concerned about really the far left narrative, but i know that what the bottom here is, the administration is selling me and was telling me during the campaign, was not socialism. My fellow republicans who chose not to Cross Party Lines and over trump again made a decision that they were fine with this behavior. And they were fine with democratic actions. They were fine with enabling the want to be dictator in order to get the tax cut and not have socialism and not have a Green New Deal and not how deep on the police, those really choices they made their policy rooted. And frankly, i heard a lot about one of the more conservative judges as well. Thats what i heard a number of republicans that say that they wanted as well. So these were the factors i believe that led to american choosing again, like i heard just like in 26 team between like you and i really appreciate it was really good to get your thoughts and we got to catch up with you again soon. Thank you very much, rena shah, joining us there from the Group Republican women for biden. So i have for you on the news hour as the battle that 2nd wave of coronavirus a fire kills 10 people, a hospital treating the patients in romania lifting the lid on some of the egypt sanctions secrets archaeologist.

So as well above mild is the word to use really and that always francis was dropping some snow on the alps on its way through significant rain places the fog in croatia and probably serbia as well and things become a little bit quieter. The less, less mild, at least in the north of europe, come monday, spain and portugal lovely weather showers around italy, and this cotton down in both turkey and greece after the recent, rather stormy weather. Now seem to still exists as this thing here is doing no damage to anybody sitting in the water, but thats, thats our 29th tropical sort of the season. Versatile, of course, find there are showers around in west africa just to the south coast of ghana, for example. But i think theyre on their way out. This was our foundation. I tried to do some 2 different days. It was the best day of my life. And i wish that day could have gone on forever. Caught up with a made us all pay the price, knocks on, aljazeera do you feel validated in south way . Is a type of performative activism. Lets go back to specifically you calling a white supremacist. The lights are on. Theres nowhere to hide. Join me Richelle Carey is up with the questions to my special guests and challenge them to some straight talking political debate front on aljazeera, hulu. To recap of the main stories now off to days of denial and official in ethiopias to great weekend as admitted its forces carried out the attack, which far the war there is at the to great Peoples Liberation. Front launched the strike on and military base Ethnic Armenians have been torching their own homes as they leave villages just outside to go in a car back before sundays handover of land to azerbaijan.

And the United States has set another record for a new coven 1000. 00 cases of pushing more than 180000 infections in 24 hours. Deaths also rising fast, if hospitalizations at that highest levels. Yet. Meanwhile, European Countries are swamped by the 2nd wave of the pandemic prompting more countries to it to introduce even tougher restrictions us what the governments and out doing a chile as reported more than 37000. 00 new infections in its latest 24 hour reporting period. And another 544. 00 people have died. Its now i did company a in tuscany to its red zones with the strictest lockdown measures that the u. K.

Has pos, 10000 with a record high of 548, deaths reported on saturday, and 25 and a half 1000 new cases, almost a 3rd of the countrys hospital beds and now ok, pide by 1000 patients elsewhere. Austria has said that its moving from a nighttime curfew to a full up down to 2 and a half weeks. That will start on choose day. More than 9 and a half 1000 new cases were reported on friday, a daily record, a 9 times its number at the peak of the 1st wave in the chart says about kurtz, spoke about, and you knock down a minimum views. You sure you still, since you remember, nobody wants schools to be closed. Nobody wants to get stronger. Be tried to ism and culture to stand still and nobody wants to be banned from meeting relatives, family members, parents and friends, especially up to christmas. But we must. And i am convinced of this take this step to give. So i ask you to help out over the next few weeks together, we can turn the tide, because the more consistently we pull through to slow down the shorter we will need it to be woman. Greece is now closing all its primary schools and nurseries until the end of the month, the latest tightening of its lockdown after a spike in covert cases there. And on the other side of europe, the portuguese leisure industry has been protesting against its latest restrictions. Restaurant bar and nightclub owners and workers a asking for more support for their businesses. For the next 2 weekends they have to close at 1 oclock in the afternoon. 10 people have died in romania after a fire broke out in a coven, 1000 hospital ward 7. Others were badly injured by the file which swept through an intensive care ward in Northern City of pietro nam say over one of the victims or patients. Romanias Health Minister says the file was most likely started by an electrical short circuit well over in lebanon, the government there is announced the start of a 2 week lockdown after the shot rise in cases in recent weeks and nighttime curfew is in place now and driving is completely banned on sundays, that been registered more than 900. 00, new cases and 21. 00 deaths on friday. But of course the nation is in economic crisis. Many Business Leaders have criticized the lockdown. Now the leader of the policy front west, insofar as Independence Movement says, it has resumed. Its struggle with morocco said the group is ending its 29. 00 a cease fire and blame morocco for breaking it. But morocco says its sticking with the truce on friday. Moral codes on the end to a buffer zone to reopen a road to traffic ofter is blocked by policy. Support has backed by armed fighters, roccos held the west in samarra since 1975. Previously, it was a spanish colony omar, highly as americas prominent representative at the United Nations, joins us via skype from new york. So i can ask you about the reasons for this military operation, because of course, the accusation is that morocco has violated and now broken, that cease fire agreement from 1901. We didnt take you very much or inviting me. First of all, i would like to say that its not a military should its city and appreciation and its civilian nearing operation to clear do it or were going to get it. Drew answer your question. d why would that have been . Im sorry, to have been military confrontations. This does involve the military, you know, you, i invite you to read what the u. N. Had said. But when syria crucial starts that were these, are you just fighting going to here morgans behind the alliance or so quiet around here. But disobedience who have been there have not been touched, have not been her hurted. Theyve just decided to put fire on their pants and to leave with any means. So for us to objectives, to plead the way to open, you can get it to a civilian. And you say you say that, but mr. That all reports say all countries forces fired on innocent civilians. Though there is no way you can read, you know, what is it you can say whatever they want. We are used to belarus and to war propaganda. If what you are to read the documents and the reports by the middle. So and you and secretary general and they did it by 2 specially and your spectators. 3 to visit you and all creation crisis. They are very agreeably said that there was no right on it. There are now 50 is there are now facing, is that there will be war between iraq on the policy front that awesome millions that will be caught in the crossfire and never simply if we see an escalation in some kind of conflict, what are you prepared to do now to avoid, well, the collapse of the ceasefire for hasnt already collapsed and to try and get some sort of political process off the ground to save civilian lives.
