One rocket landed near a School Forcing students to run from the building. The interior Ministry Says dozens of people have been injured. The taliban has denied responsibility for the contraflow is joining us now from kabul. Talk us through whats been happening this morning. What happened here is this morning was an unprecedented and very brazen attack. Right in the heart of the Afghan Capital of been coming to this place for 15 years. And i have to tell you have never ever witnessed anything like this because for 10 minutes a little bit after 8 this morning, it really felt like the Afghan Capital was under attack. I was in the center of the city, all the love and floor and we could just see things exploding all across the city. There was panic that followed because nobody knew what was going on. It was going on for several minutes. There were frantic people who were trying to call loved ones. And you know, that like you mentioned was happening in several different parts of the city. At least 23 rockets were fired across kabul this morning. According to the ministry of interior, we have at least 8 dead and 31 injured. And whoever is behind this, like you said, the taliban deny that they were behind this. What they have managed to do is really terrorize the Afghan People because there is this big talk here right now that nobody feels safe, even here in the Afghan Capital, which is considered to be the safest part of afghanistan rob, in fear, as you were talking about this is a very significant attack, but it also follows weeks of individual attacks. Again, with some people accepting responsibility i saw has been one thats been attributed to it. But in many cases nobody has been taking any responsibility for these attacks. Exactly, and thats one of the big issues here that we have seen a spike of attacks all across the country that they are not attributed to anyone, whether its targeted killings, whether its bombings, whether its explosions, and so far nobody has claimed responsibility for what happened in kabul earlier this morning, and the truth is that urban centers, and thats what the taliban said have been largely spared of big attacks. But one of the, it seems like one of the aims of what happened here is this morning was never did it that they knew that it will get a lot of publicity because it was a very, very brazen attack. And it is something that has been making news all across the world again, just because this is supposed to be the safest part of afghanistan. And once again, it is phrasing a lot of questions among afghans in terms of the intelligence of the afghan government. And why all these incidents keep happening, and afghans do not even feel safe here in kabul. Rob philip, thanks very much. Indeed. Obviously, this is a developing story. As we get more information, were going to be coming back to you, but for now, thanks very much indeed. For that controversy in kabul, the u. N. Secretary general has warned that yemen is inching closer to the worlds worst famine in decades until you get said, as says that action must be taken immediately to prevent a catastrophe. He said, millions of lives could be lost if nothing is done. Yemenis are already suffering from 6 years of war without, as it says, of abduction in relief funding and a struggling currency obstructing efforts to help them. And we see a dramatic, theyre going to, they should of humanitarian situation and the risk as it was expressed this morning. In my Statement Released of a famine that probably would have had no parallel in recent history except the famous of famine in ethiopia. Many decades ago, donald translate his attempt to overturn the u. S. Election result appears to be slipping away. Michigans Republican Leaders met with him at the white house, but said there was no new information that would change joe bidens victory in the state.

We had a lot of dishonesty against us, while joe biden spent his birthday meeting with Democratic Congressional leaders to talk postelection plans. Donald trump was meeting republicans from michigan to the white house denying reports the president wants them to stop the state certifying bidens win. There he routinely meets with lawmakers from all across the country, but one democrat from michigan says this is anything but a routine meeting. Joe biden won michigan 14 times greater in download truck winner state 4 years ago. The president is trying to, i dont know what word you call a cheat, his way to victory by pressuring local officials. After the meeting, the 2 republicans said it had no new information to change joe bidens victory in the state. Adding the result certification process should be free from threats and intimidation. And joe bidens legal team called it an abuse. Of course, the use of office. Its an open attempt to intimidate election officials. Georgia is the latest state to certify a joe Biden Victory after a manual recount of 5000000 votes. He becomes the 1st democrat to win the president ial race in the state since 1902. There are 2 recounts underway in counties in wisconsin, but its unlikely they will change the result there. President elect joe biden, no stands on 306 Electoral College votes.

Is it he already has entered a district thats been under armenian control for almost 30 years as one of the areas. I mean, he has to hand back as part of a cease fire deal to end 6 weeks of fighting over the disputed region of nagornokarabakh. What are some of benj of it is live for us inside . I just talk us through what you can see there are all the where ive been knocked down. There have been very hard and then pulled up to 57 here and did nothing but destruction in that area. The mosque behind me used to be at the heart of the, of the city which has been abandoned and vandalized as well. Obviously in speaking to people who have been trying to come back here, we were actually at many peoples before i was. And people want to come back in the military has been telling them that they cannot come back because of the dangers. Had some Officials Say that about 150 mined in a man sort of a few hours as the military forces were moving in were cleared from this area just to our right used to be the Cultural Center of the city of down once northern for is music for its words, a vibrant society for the culture as well as a merchant hub during even during the soviet times when all of that seems to be gone. If youve been hearing from the very government of president , things that this is a victory that they have a huge on the military front. But it is also a victory here that not a bullet was fired and not a single life was lost and theyve got knocked down. Its worth reminding people that this is one of 3 regions surrounding the newborn a car about a region which the armenians are going to give back to either by john and their russian peacekeepers are going to move in. So it is early days in about 4 days, they have to give back another region which was extended for 10 days. And then after that they will be handing over lunch in the end of the month. So this is a slow but steady process, which is continuing. The war seems to be over on the battle front, but diplomatic war of words between the 2 countries and something of chests continues for some of those very much. Indeed thats are some of the injuries talking to us from inside. The ag dam, which has just been handed over to as early forces was once held by our media.

How this new satellite will help scientists understand rising sea levels due to Climate Change. The news is too good for too long. Weve got cloud building in this ass genesee not in the form of a psycho just in the form of a few showers. So with the prevailing north east of the monsoon, its almost inevitable that you will build up some clouds and they will hit the coast of vietnam and come inland a bit as showers, maybe thunderstorms, similar things happening on the east and southern philippines and nothing is too dramatic here, the biggest showers are still further south of a borneo and the far south of town. And if not even bangkok is prone to a shower or 2 in the next couple of days. But the heaviest ones, of course for the south and indonesia and the south and by a bang go i circulation there may well end up over sri lanka in australia.

One of the guards is an off duty policeman. Video shows the guards repeatedly hitting the man in the face before his death. Let me give you a warning that you might find some of the violence. A lot of bargnani is reported disturbing. Outrage across brazil at the killing of a black man by Security Guards. Protestors focusing their anger at branches of the french supermarket chain. Where the incident happened. Being black in brazil means you have your humanity stolen. You have all your rights stolen. You dont have the opportunity to come and go in peace. You have the Security System designed to have you queues. Even when you were the victim, you were the target of any bullet that circulates in the city.

What we saw in porto alegre is the most despicable expression of structural racism, institutional racism, and of how much brazil still inherits from the heritage of the slave countries. Operating the americas where brother, who died is not just part of the black family excluded from society for 500 years. We still hear and see these expressions of anger, rage, and racism. The brazilian g. A. O. Says about half of brazils population a black and mixed race, but account for 3 quarters of victims of lethal violence. The percentage of those killed by police is slightly higher alberta, so they are afraid just died on the eve of brazils black consciousness day, a Public Holiday in many states. But instead of celebrating many were mourning, and using the day to highlight the disparity of black people brutally killed in brazil. The more about a man, the aljazeera drug company or partner by own tech have apply for emergency authorization in the u. S. For their covert 19 vaccine. The Health Secretary has described the move as light at the end of the tunnel. If that request is approved, the vaccine could be available within weeks by counties in washington, d. C. And he explains why the approval process could take longer than expected. What happens once pfizer registers the request with the f. D. A. . It then looks at the data that pfizer has collected through its tests of some 40000. 00 people over the past few months. The f. D. A. Then calls a meeting with a group of independent scientists who will then decide whether or not to grant the emergency use authorization based on the data that theyve been given by pfizer. But the real difficulty here is that this is not a routine vaccine trial. This is a new technology which the scientists are going to have to look at. Its completely uncharted water. It is not a vaccine in which a mutant down version of the virus is injected into the system, allowing the body to create its own immunity. This is a case where, a spike proteins are created within the humans d. N. A. , which replicates the corona virus, and trains. The body to recognize it should the corona virus into the body. So this is a totally Different Technology which has not been dealt with before. And this in itself is going to maybe extend the period, the speed with which these vaccines can be rolled out. Well, that is also incredibly difficult because this particular treatment requires 2 injections over a period of 3 weeks. Now that is a lot of injections, a lot of the vaccine that needs to be distributed throughout the country. Rising corona, virus infections or putting swedens no lockdown model under pressure for the 1st time. The governments rejected advice from the Public Health agency and this recommendation that people dont have to wear masks has led to a dispute with the Scientific Academy awards the nobel prize. Paul reese has more from stockholm. The commuter rush begins in stockholm with little evidence of concern about swedens mounting coronavirus crisis. Its just a couple of months since the decision not to impose a lockdown seemed to be working. But with the 2nd wave of the pandemic building momentum, it could be a long cold winter ahead. For the approach that has been dubbed the swedish model. A record 7240 new cases were reported on friday, with 66 more deaths taking the toll to almost 6 and a half 1000 who have been getting more and more patient is a procedures for taking optimal care of them. Very late with that in front of us and we are, we are far behind. Swedens government is starting to impose tougher restrictions. No more than 8 people can now attend official events, while pubs and restaurants a ban from serving alcohol after 10 pm. There are new limits on visits to old peoples homes. After infections again started spreading rapidly in places where thousands died in the spring or fall to government or continue to take all necessary decisions to reduce the spread of infection. Sweden strength in this crisis, however, is that every person takes their responsibility. Does the juice for their fellows, and for our country is about personal responsibility has been at the heart of swedens fight against the pandemic. But now many are questioning whether people should be forced to comply with tougher measures, including having to wear masks something that most swedes have so far shunned. Thats after the Royal Swedish Academy of sciences released a report showing that masks could prevent the spread of infection indoors, as we found so far, yearly supports the fact that 60 will have a positive effect in the main issue. Its not exactly preventing the spread of by us, but thats in contrast to recommendations made by the Public Health agency and the chief epidemiology. Understand yell, who has repeatedly said masks, can make people more careless about social distancing. Not everyone has listened with masks, sales tripling at one pharmacy chain in november. Even if the government does bow to pressure on mosques, that could be as far as its prepared to go. The socalled swedish model may be under some pressure, but a full lockdown is unlikely and perhaps even impossible. Such a measure is guarded against by the swedish constitution that protects citizens freedoms. Even in a time of crisis, poll recent aljazeera stockcar. The philippines is to lift a ban on Health Care Workers taking jobs overseas. That means up to 5000. 00 nurses will be allowed to leave each year president to go to tell it to introduce the travel ban.

But to celebrate the holiday is National President of the filipino nurses united. She says the government needs to pay Health Care Professionals the wages that the road we have been seeking for a lifting of the ban. But the fact been almost 9 months. Lobbying our government and billions, when the government decided on a cop that goes for the lifting of the bund, making it 5000 workers to be allowed every year to work in other countries are big question now is, how would it be possible for governments to v. V. And fifes our Filipino Workers to work here because right now we have so many burning issues among our nurses currently working in the government that slow and even in friday sets or us. Well. Just yesterday we heard we held our sit down for a fair and another huckster. So say, how did this get varieties within your house . Because we are demanding for the release of our delayed fogartys for 3 months or 4 months or so. And also demand provision of halfords 3 and a special recycle law, one for our nurses, doctors, and other Health Workers who are speaking here of coffee features here.

And also how to foster a Sea Levels Rising while scientists hope a new satellite will help that question. Its going to launch from california later on saturday as part of a joint project between nasa and the European Space agency. The project could give coastal communities more precise weather forecasts before storms make landfall. Well, brunells reports, its Developers Say the ocean measuring satellite sentinel 6 will provide irrefutable evidence of how the seas are rising due to human caused global warming. The satellite, which resembles a large gadget festooned orbiting doghouse, can quantify ocean rise to within a centimeter. The main concept is that as a radar altimeter on board and it, it fires a pulse of the Ocean Surface and you measure how large it takes that pulse to go out and come back. And from that you can him for the height of the satellite about the oceans surface. And so when you take the height of the satellite and you subtract off that radar measurement of the height of the satellite above the Ocean Surface, then you have a measurement of the height of the ocean. About one 3rd of the ocean rises due to thermal expansion. Water that absorbs heat, expands like mercury in an Old Fashioned thermometer. The rest is due to the melting of glaciers and ice caps in greenland, the antarctic and elsewhere. So these 2 elements to get america. Be the product of sentiment 6, very relevant. 4 for the society for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has projected that oceans could rise more than 60 centimeters by 2100 endangering millions. If not billions of people who live near the sea or in storm prone areas. Scientists working on the sentinel 6 program say it will provide unambiguous data to grab the public and policymakers attention was going up. We can show people the data. And i like to think that, that most people out there can still be important by looking at, you know, real data. Its not some cloud model thats predicting whats going to happen. Its actually measurements of whats really changing, whats changing, and why climate is changing because were putting c o 2 and other Greenhouse Gases into the atmosphere. And we need to start moving on to the Renewable Energy sources and stop burning fossil fuels. Cental sixs mission will last 5 years, a messenger in outer space bearing a message to humanity that it must change its ways.

So those coming from abroad tested in the airport. Then they got to the how did they check and, and then they wait for the presence of the testing.
