And iran shocks most business says and clamp down on travel as it struggles to contain a covert. 1000 search i saw says its behind rocket attacks in afghanistans capital that have killed at least 8 people. The interior Ministry Says dozens more have been injured. The, attack came just hours before u. S. , secretary of state mike on bail was due to hold talks with Afghan Government and taliban negotiators in qatar, capital, doha, doha. Earlier this week, the pentagon said it was soon pull about 2000 troops out of afghanistan. Video contre 40 begins our coverage with this report from kabul. Schoolgirls running for their lives after rocket lands near to school, part of a record needed attack on the capital. Kabul. More than 20 rockets landed in residential areas near the green zone, where many embassies are based. It was a little after 8. 30 in the morning when the 1st rocket landed in the Afghan Capital for the next 10 minutes. It felt like kabul was under attack. Witnesses say the attack during the morning rush hour was timed to cause maximum damage. So what they could, it was morning and we were leaving our home when an explosion happened 2 of my sisters and my mother wounded. So we took them to hospital. I would have thought and we thought it was around 9 am. Rockets hit the bakery wounding an employee who needed hospital treatment. Lots of shopkeepers are going to suffer financially because of this i still has claimed responsibility for the attack. It came just hours before the u. S. Secretary of state mike arrived in qatar is capital doha. Hes talking to both Afghan Government and taliban negotiators. Involved in peace talks. There. It shows richies and security that are just pressed. Yes, again. This sort of weaponry gets into the city. And secondly, its part of the trend where greater violence in the suits is mainly assassinations, not in its own homes, even at a time of trouble. And so that they wont launch attacks. And sometimes, i know has been behind recent attacks in the capital gunmen stormed university 3 weeks ago. At least 22 people were killed. The government says in saturdays attack, fighters fired the rockets from the back of 2 trucks. Its investigating how the vehicles managed to enter the city undetected, posing more questions about the governments ability to keep the capital city secure. Contrary, ill just say of kabul. And for more on my compares visit to speak to stephanie deca in doha for a stephanie, the u. S. Secretary of state has just left a lot of the we know whats come out of his discussions with the parties involved in afghanistans, it no, at the moment i think he probably went straight from that meeting with the taliban, which was lost on his schedule. The motorcade drive cost us here. And as you say, hes now boarded a maids left. Im sure there will be some kind of official statement, but i dont as to his visit here. Also having met with the emir and the deputy Prime Minister, but i dont think were going to have any nitty gritty asked what was discussed. I think its very clear that the message from the u. S. Secretary of state, would be that they need to get back on track because at the moment, finally, the 2 sides are still talking about technicalities. When it comes to the Legal Framework, islamic Legal Framework that governs these talks, its very complicated, complex, and certainly none of the very, even more complicated issues that say like a long lasting cease fire, like what power sharing would look like in kabul between the 2 sides has even started to be addressed and also held talks with qatari officials here in doha. This is likely to be one of his last trip to the region. What is he trying to achieve . Absolutely one mincing question because if he gets of course there are serious issues on the table. Iran, the gulf pay these now traveling on to saudi arabia before he heads home. But a lot of talk in the u. S. Media, people watching saying that this is also perhaps a more productive, a message from peo to the american audience. Perhaps a message to 2024. Hes looking ahead potentially to run that, that this is really a particular back to what he did in israel, the 1st sector of state to visit a settlement of the occupied west bank. The language used into the occupied golan heights. Of course recognized as israeli sovereign sovereignty, so very much also pandering to a base there. But yes, of course we cant move away from the fact that hes also still trying to achieve certain issues in the last months of office. I know this is ministration has been saying that they would like to see some kind of movement on the new. Ah, but hey, that was into its 4th year folly. Theres been some talk about potentially seeing patter is being allowed to overfly saudi arabia and bahrain airspace. But again, nothing has come out, nothing concrete. All these things that have been addressed by the at the moment. Certainly we still dont know what the result was from any of those meetings, 70 deca in doha. Thank you stephanie. In other world news, the United Nations says a full scale humanitarian crisis is unfolding in northern ethiopia. The u. N. Has called on warring sides to hold fighting immediately. So more aid can be delivered and refugee safe zones can be set up. The government entity, great Peoples Liberation front, both accuse each other of killing civilians in airstrikes and indiscriminate attacks or in a 2 week offensive launched by government forces. An official from the to great region has accused government forces, of course, wanton killing, and as called on the International Community to do more to help. Hes also accusing neighboring eritrea of supporting the Ethiopian Government offensive. If your government and military have repeatedly denied targeting civilians saying they strike only t l. F targets. I was horses. I mean very much interested in wanton killing of civilians, women, and of towns. In fact, it has, of course, is contingent of trucks meant to export to transport goods and items that they steal from from the towns the temporarily occupied. Its rather strange resources working because it was the source of the destruction of private property in many parts of the red in the number of civilians who are being displaced. Meanwhile, those who crossed the border into a fraid of going hungry and say theyre desperate for help. When we came here, we didnt find any services we read that we took from the mill. Look at this massive crowd. Some people get trampled and stand in long queues to eat. One meal a day. People just want to eat this year. We didnt die in the war, but now is it possible that we die of hunger . And the government should help those of us who are suffering from hunger. We ask the government to help to speak whatever they can. We cant do anything alone. From a camp on sudans border with ethiopia. The biggest need, when you listen to the refugees here at the camp, they say that they need shelter. Thats because again, most of them have been transported from the border point state, which is neighboring state. And were brought here by the thousands 1000 at least transported every day. So this camp was not prepared to receive those refugees. So people here say that the 1st thing they need is shelter. The other thing that they say they need most is health care. They say that many of them have been walking for days to cross the border from ethiopia into sudan, and then to get to crossing a river. And then coming here. So they say that they need medical access or medical health care access. Something that they say is lacking because of the number of people who are they say that yes, there is a Health Facility and theres water being provided there is provided. But compared to the number of refugees that are actually here, thats not enough. And theyve been calling on to provide more now mostly u. N. Agencies say that theyre coordinating with the government of sudan to try to respond to the situation. But they say that they expect up to 200000. 00 in the coming 6 months. So there are concerns that the influx of refugees will be too much to respond to in such a short time. Kopp polson is a senior official at the world food programme, who is on the ground at the refugee camps in sudan. He says a priority right now is to ensure that the thousands of refugees arriving there. d have enough to eat, but the task is big current, the u. N. H. L. Reports that some 35000 people have a right as of yesterday and probably more a coming across the border today. What we are doing right now is trying to assist them at the Border Crossing and then trying to continue that assistance once they set them in one of the camps with longer term assistance. So initially we do, you contribute to your needs your, for your hot meals. And we also provided High Energy Biscuits once they settle in the camps certainly provide them with a monthly ration that should sustain them. Here we also have to work with partners, other than u. N. H. C. R. , working with the minister of health, with unicef, to work on the nutrition programs to make sure that women and children get the right nutrition should have suffered before or was coming here. Both the United Nations agencies that work on the medical side n. G. O. S are working hard right now to cover the medical needs. He focuses right now on food nutrition, but just stick support. And to some extent also providing i city support for agencies responding to this crisis. As a world struggles to contain the coronavirus pandemic, governments are urging people not to travel. The centers for Disease Control in the u. S. Has warned americans to stay at home over the thanksgiving holiday. But the triple agency says to me, more than 50000000, people will travel in the coming week thats only a 10 percent drop compared to last year. Canadas largest city toronto is going back into lockdown. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister says a normal holiday is out of the question. In order to get through this winter without overwhelming our health system, without losing too many more of our loved ones. We need to do one last big effort these coming months and it starts with the coming weeks of really tightening up, which is why im back here in front of my house telling you its time its time to tighten up. Polands Prime Minister is also urging families to cancel travel plans, schools, bars, restaurants, and theatres will remain closed until after christmas. Singapore and hong kong are postponing the launch of their quarantine free travel bubble after a spike in infections in hong kong. Iran, meanwhile, is struggling to contain a 3rd wave of infections. Authorities are closing most businesses and clamping down on travel between major cities to try and slow the spread of a great for some tehran. Nearly 500 people have been dying from covert 900 every day in iran, as it battles a 3rd wave of coronavirus and daily infections number more than 13000. Thats the highest the country has had since the start of the outbreak. Current prevention measures dont seem to be working. Now the government has imposed a 2 week lockdown that had john moore draw. The main goal is to control whatever the wires and reduce it to a minimum, and to reduce the number of gathering from people commuting. And for some places we had no other choice than in the past, we asked people to abide by protocols for their own health and reduced pressure and medical staffs. We want people to abide by protocol, so this pressure can be removed the soonest possible. Only essential businesses are allowed to remain open and some people say they need help to assure when its closed. We have no other source of income, but there is no other choice. We should do something to curb the chain of the virus. Its tough, but theres no other choice. We need to be patient. You have only the infection rate reduced, i dont think 2 weeks is enough to control the situation. I agree with the idea of closing down 100 percent, yet many other problems will be created that i dont agree with. Like financial problems for people. Shopkeepers still have to pay rent and their employees will receive no salary. Private vehicles are banned from the roads from 9 pm until 4 am. Travelling outside cities is also prohibited. The government says people found to be breaking the rules will be fined, but its facing criticism over its handling of the pandemic. 2 officials in the Health Ministry have resigned and issued open letters. Reza says the government has mismanaged the crisis and disputes statements made by the Health Minister about the countrys progress in finding a vaccine. The closure of businesses is making life worse for many in what was already a tough Economic Situation because of u. S. Sanctions. The grand bazaar here into iran would usually be packed with shoppers, but its closed. Many agree the lock down is needed, but livelihoods are at stake. 10000000. 00 families are to receive around 4. 00 a month for the next 4 months on a 40. 00 loan. But many say thats not enough. The challenge the Government Faces is whether it can persuade people to keep abiding by restrictions when they need to work to feed their families as a break to her own. Still ahead on aljazeera, a michigan legislative delivery, yet another blow to u. S. , present time space over time election at last 25 years. After bosnia as leaders signed a peace agreement, the war is over, but the tensions that led to it are not our now we can look down from space. You see this beautiful picture which is cold air stream, your siberia, across the very warm waters of the seas. It japan producing showers and we still got a system going on sunday. Significant rain by this time sue the western side of honshu northwest one shoe. Possibly because snowfall card in the same is true for north korea, but its the water that is generating these storms. It was rain if you like, the cold s. Till there. Beijing having had some snow before the grounds, not cold enough yet. And you got the sunshine a plus for on sunday have been is probably subzero and have the rest of china right. More cloud than there was snow springs across yon just looks as though it was to hit one hand. This is its general direction of how far south as the winter come. Probably will happen is the limits. Weve got 7 degrees rising to 10 by wednesday in rain, not snow. South of that and a few more shots of lp in the south china sea. Nothing like what was there before, there were no tropical cyclones. Its just a standard flow. The northeast monsoon with the heaviest rain of course in indonesia. So in sumatra, some parts of southern targeted for the next couple days couldnt rule out a few showers or vietnam. But then nothing like as heavy as they would covert. 19 is indiscriminate, but it quickly found the racial divisions in American Society called it painted. It is a Bridge Builder of the americas in the racially segregated city of chicago. The majority of deaths have been black and latino residents. Faultlines asks why i think its become entirely clear that if such a thing and theres structural racism, the great divide 19 and race in chicago on aljazeera the or the bucket. Back a recap of our top stories on aljazeera, the u. S. Secretary of state, my companion has held separate talks with negotiators from the Afghan Government and the taliban here in qatar. This was hours after i saw fired rockets in afghanistans capital killing at least 8 people. The United Nations says a full scale humanitarian crisis is unfolding in northern ethiopia. The u. N. Has called on warring sides to hold fighting, so more aid can be delivered and refugee safe zones can be set up. And as a wall struggles to contain the coronavirus pandemic, governments are urging people not to chapal the centers for Disease Control in the u. S. As want americans to stay at home over the thanksgiving holiday. But the aaa agencies, estimating more than 50000000, people will travel in the coming week. But a pandemic is expected to be a top priority at the g 20 summit, thats under way in saudi arabia. The saudis kingdom is hosting the virtual event, but there have been calls to boycott the meeting in protests against the kingdoms human rights records. This is been an extraordinary year. The cove in 1000 pandemic has been an unprecedented shock that affected the entire world within a short period of time, causing Global Economic and social issues, or people and economies are still suffering from the shock. However, we will do our best to overcome this crisis through international cooperation. Our diplomatic editor james bays has more from the United Nations in new york. Weve seeing kings of saudi arabia by his side, his crown Prince Mohammed bin some, an opening, the g. 20 calling this an extraordinary year. There are many that believe though that the g 20 has not risen to the challenge and they look back 220082009 the last financial crisis where the g 20 really did lead world efforts. And there are many urging the g 20 to do more in 2 ways. Number one, the g 20 has come up with something called the Debt Service Suspension initiative earlier in the year to have debt relief for some of the poorer countries on earth. Some say that that needs to be extended both in generation and in scope. The other big challenge is getting vaccines to people in some of the poorer countries on earth and more money, much more money apparently is needed to fund that at this stage. This is a very different g 20 from normal. In fact, what she just now, what is normally an International Summit looked more like a zoom call between world leaders. Its also very truncated. Normally there are dinners, there are bilateral meetings, and all of this is a little bit of a blow to the saudi hosts. So i think were hoping to rehabilitate their reputation because certainly that has been shattered by their human rights actions with regard to the war in yemen. Internal repression in saudi arabia and the murder of the journalist. Because judging. Well, the g. 20 being held in riyadh is again turning the spotlight on saudi arabias human rights record. Have been renewed calls for the release of female activists war yobs, academics and Business Leaders in saudi jails. A group of female activists are in prison for campaigning for the right to drive and to the male guardianship system. Muslim scholars sandman was arrested in september, 2017, and faces the Death Penalty has been charged over alleged ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and for demanding government reforms. And their concerns for a group of saudi royals and Business Leaders detained 3 years ago at a hotel in riyadh. The most recent arrests include mohammed bin nayef, the former crown prince and a nephew of king sama. Donald trumps latest 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. Oh, bidens victory in the state. Trump is reportedly putting pressure on politicians in republican run states to ignore the popular vote and send delegates to the Electoral College who will install him as president. Alan fischer reports from washington. Thank you very much. Given to the white house was to talk prescription prices, but donald trump couldnt help talking about the election claiming pharmaceutical companies believe news of a coup would like seem to help him politically big pharma, written millions of dollars of negative advertisements against me during the campaign. Which i won by the way, but you know, find that out. Almost 74000000 votes. We had big pharma guesses we had the media against us. We had big tech against us. 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 when 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, one is good michigan, but a margin 14 times greater than down the truck winner state 4 years ago. The president is trying to, i dont know what word you call it, 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 1992. There are 2 recounts underway in counties in wisconsin, but its unlikely they will change the result there. President elect joe biden know stands on 306 Electoral College votes. Exactly the same number. Donald trump achieved 4 years ago when he claimed a landslide victory. Alan fischer aljazeera at the white house. Evan resnick is an assistant professor in International Relations at neon technological university. He says, the president s behavior is amounting to a threat to national security. The realization that this is over is increasingly permeating the holdouts in the republican party. But ever so slowly and there are a few more voices you see some of the, sort of the more moderate reasonable characters in the party. People like senator mitt romney, senator ben sasse, of nebraska being a little bit more overt in their criticism of the president. But its still laughably minor in comparison is sort of it when you recognize the regis misbehavior that the president is engaging in the sort of behavior that 2 bit dictators of banana republics engage in that the u. S. State department routinely condemns for that sort of behavior. So this is, were really in uncharted territory now in terms of this president s behavior. But we shouldnt be altogether surprised given the manner in which hes comported himself over the last 4 years in office. Transitioning from one administration to another, especially from one from from the administration. One party to another is a massive undertaking. I mean, if you look at just the department of defense alone, its the largest agency, the largest employer in the world. So the extent to which a transition is seamless allows the Incoming Administration to better deal with emergent crises and, and other sorts of domestic or International Problems that occur in the bin. Its very early months. And so, given that we are, that the u. S. Is already deeply enmeshed in a terrible domestic and international crisis. In the face of the covert, 1000. 00 pandemic, every minute counts. And this and for the transition to be delayed as a result of the president s personal pique or ego bruising is, is really upsetting. Says it will hand control of the u. S. President ial account to joe biden. When he takes office on january 20th, make the poultice account which is separate from the president s personal account is one by the white house. Other institutional accounts like that of the 1st lady and the Vice President will also be handed over on inauguration day. Twitter says the changeover requires no sharing of information between the 2 teams. Its been 25 years since rival ethnic leaders signed a peace deal that would end their 3 year bosnian war a quarter of a century on many living in the politically divided country. Want the dayton agreement rewritten or tweaks under the deal abbas he has preserved as a single state but is divided into 2 parts. Andersons reports, the war in Bosnia Herzegovina lasted 3 and a half years. It left more than 100000 people dead. And more than 2000000 displaced half the countrys small population. There were atrocities. So the biggest, more than 8000, muslim men and boys killed by bosnian serbs, it was the worst atrocity in europe since world war 2. Peace came 25 years ago with a deal reached in the United States the dayton agreement. It may have stopped the fighting, but now suffering of a different kind is abundant, low wages, a failing economy, corruption in the ruling elites, poor education, high unemployment. In these type of state, in this life its real living as a failed state is a failed internationalism, a interaction. If you let the fail, people what follow the dayton agreement was a bewildering, often dysfunctional system of government. 3 president s from the once warring parties, bosnian serbs, croats, and Bosnian Muslims layers of bureaucracy with devise a rule under a weak central government. David owen, now a lot of you know, british politician was the European Unions into meijer e. And he failed to get a peace deal. He says bosnians need to make the dayton agreement work for people who have to live together and are not prepared to make the necessary compromises to do so. And there is a constant striving for separation and for changing america, and changing the deal that was the basis of the dayton accords if you have been allowed to continue. And of course the dayton accords will break out. One hope lies with joe biden, the us president elect in stopping was aggressive by serbia as, a senator in the 1990 s. , he had a major interest in trying to solve the bosnian conflict. And as Vice President barack obama, he pushed for political reform bills. Now, this is a man who doesnt understand the complexity of both screen and i think its going to be helpful and helpful if you will take an active interest. But again, the cynicism about the role of international intervention, politicians, including joe biden, to this old guard of politicians. I dont see, i dont see, we need that anymore. B. P. Should really after 25 years, find a way to stand out to stand on our own feet. No one won the war and the ethnic divisions, it created a frozen within the politics of peace. 25 years on, theres still a shadow cost on bosnia future. Andrew symonds al jazeera play again, im fully back to bill with the headlines on aljazeera. The u. S. Secretary of states mike on pale has how separate all
