If Government Troops launched an offensive on the Group Earlier this month, another rush is news agency is reporting that a pail of says it will stand firm and has destroyed roads and bridges to stop the government advance. So lets start with mohammed it in at a sad about this is quite something mohammed weve been talking about escalation for a while, but this is going to a new level. Yes indeed. Private is to be is calling this phase of the war. The final push and theyre saying that the government Defense Forces are saying that to finish the wall on the mountainous surroundings of the cup with the killer, they will have to use tongues and a tea lady to knock out the defenses. The headbutt defenses that the typical of have mounted on top of the hill, some mountains surrounding the cup, little of the tick away region. They also say that they would use a tin lady to shell the some targets within the city and have been dropping the live bullets a live look of that night. Asking the billions still in the cup atomic. Can it not to be nowhere near military is to lucians, of course the Government Troops are now advancing one mackellar from the south, from the north and the west, and the can see the ultimate prize. But security analysts are warning that any hopes or expectations of what abrupt and decisive victory for the Government Forces is very optimistic. And they face a protracted war. And for their part, what are there to grains saying mohammed although they saying they will not suffer and they will die for their principles, most of their fighters are said to have the retreated to the mountains. Is of that is where they seemed to be putting up this fist of difference in the past hour or so. The government has claimed to have taken the small town of duggan hums, about 97 kilometers from the killer. And that is one of the front on the toes, on the west and front. So it looks like this is going to be the showdown. Everyone has been expecting. And the Peoples Liberation from say they were not to the Government Forces were vance in on their stronghold. My goodness, ok mohammed, i thank you for that update from out a sad about this conflict sore. So forcing thousands of people to leave to take a day into neighboring sudan aid agencies. In fact say about 2000 refugees are arriving there every day. As he morgan reports from got every state, many of them bear the scars of horror as they run for since he arrived in this refugee camp in sudans got out of state 5 days ago, haile will gabrial has been hoping to have his own properly treated. He says shop will hit his hand while he was fleeing from soldiers in ethiopia. Is northern tigre, a region, but hes now lost 2 fingers. I was at the farm where i work, and when i started seeing people running, i didnt know what was going on. And when i went to see them, hyla says he was also hit by a shark now in his stomach. And fragments are still lodged in his hand. Its now become infected, and hes worried he may lose it. Fighting in the region began more than 2 weeks ago, when the regional to great Peoples Liberation front, launched an attack on a military base. The government responded by launching an offensive thats forced more than 35000 people to flee to neighboring sadam. This camp was uninhabited, but sudans government has reopened it to cope with the sudden influx. And her 2 children arrived here after running away from their homes and walking for 10 days to cross the border. At night armed men came to my house and threatened us and told us we should leave immediately or we will be killed. So i took my turn children and what i could carry more than 15000 refugees live in this camp. Many tell stories of brutal killings and long journeys to escape. If he appears government has imposed a Communications Blackout and blocks access to the region. Since the start of the fighting Rights Groups say civilians have been targeted integrate, the United Nations says the killings could amount to work rhymes while not all of those displaced have witnessed the attacks. Others recount, they say the stories they heard from family members and relatives were enough to make them come here, rather than staying back home. And those who say they witnessed with their own eyes, people being slaughtered and killed, say they doubt their memory will ever fade from their minds. Telephone, his wife and 2 children were among the 1st to arrive in the camp, fleeing from a khadra. He says the journey took them nearly 5 days and they came with little of what they own to live with. We lived in the suburbs and i had only heard of the fighting back then. But then people came armed with machetes and knives, and it was chaos from the telephone says he doesnt know which side the people who came to his hometown belong to. Because they were dressed as civilians. And to his children who want to have the comfort of a secure home, he now has to explain that their lives have changed, and they face an uncertain future. He will morgan on his iran and of out of state to the u. S. Where donald trump has suffered another legal setback in his bid to overturn the results of the us president ial election. A federal judge dismissed a Trump Campaign lawsuit in the crucial state of pennsylvania. He said the claim to prevent state officials from certifying results was quote, without merit. But trumps legal team isnt giving up Rudy Giuliani plans to appeal and says it actually helps speed up their strategy to get the case before the u. S. Supreme court. Meanwhile, twitter and facebook have said they will transfer control of the official u. S. President ial accounts to the Incoming Administration of joe biden, on january 20th, which is of course, Inauguration Day a Research Associate at the United States studies center at the university of sydney. He told us the lawsuit farm in pennsylvania has little chance of progressing any further. The case itself was thrown out very, very quickly. Its doesnt have much of a legal standing. The, the words of the judge actually it was almost as if he was insulted by, by having to, to hear the case at all. So it is not a very strong case if they bring in pennsylvania. And of course, this case, and this state is a crucial one in that electoral map. So its looking more and more unlikely, and its been on unlikely since the start that any of these legal avenues were going to bear fruit for the Trump Campaign. And were really just getting to the point now where theyre running out of options. Theres always been talk of the supreme court. President trump said on Election Night itself, that we will fight this in the supreme court. But its not clear that theres any pathway there for them now, quite simply that running out of time before the Electoral College has a safe harbor deadline on december and then meets on december 14th. What happened this election while it was a rejection of donald trump . Its quite evident that he has lost the president ial election. It wasnt a rejection of trump ism, we can really say that there was an incredible mobilization behind donald trump, the candidate that brought out record numbers of voters for the republicans. The problem was that democrats brought out even more people. So right now, the republican institutions in this sort of status where they dont want to challenge President Trump because they can see how much power he wields in solving what was previously a demographic problem for republicans. The u. S. Military says its deployed Nuclear Capable bombers to the middle east, a b. 52 h. Bomb as took off from north to qatar on friday. Not specified exactly where they went. But the planes have been based in qatar in the past. As days after the pentagon said troop numbers would be reduced in both afghanistan and iraq.

Coronavirus millions of people are expected, however, to ignore those warnings. California put in place a statewide curfew requiring people to stay home at night. Sorry, yes, to stay home during the night. The United States, of course, the worst affected country in the world with more than 12000000 infections and a quarter of a 1000000 dead. Its a professor of epidemiology and medicine that Columbia University uses a curfew just isnt enough to stop the rising infections, putting in place a curfew demonstrates the concern. Certainly the concern by the governor of california. I think the curfew in of itself is not sufficient. I think its one piece of the puzzle. I think its important that curfew will hopefully decrease the numbers of people who congregate to gether. It will probably lead to more people staying at home, staying put, not traveling and meeting up with other people outside their home. So i think it will be of value certainly, but i think it needs to be combined with the other measures that we know work, for example, Wearing Masks all the time as well as congregating and socializing with people in ones own house, although not beyond that. So i think its a 1. 00 measure that the governor and i felt compelled to do in place because of the concern about whats going on. Now, in this country regarding go with 1000. 00, what would be ideal is theres a, its north transition and that there is an ability between individuals who are now overseeing the covert response to be able to meet with the new administration to put together this smooth transition and to allow for mobilization and to put in place, hopefully the new and more effective measures to control this. But then again, this country and the u. S. Food and Drug Administration has issued emergency approval for the antibody therapy, regenerate, and this was the one used trial.

President Mark Christian couple raise seeking a 2nd 5 year term in office 2 of his challenges of accused him of trying to rig the vote. Also hundreds of thousands of people in the north and the east will be unable to vote in sundays elections. The polling stations there are closed for fear of attacks by armed groups. Despite that, and lets talk about this. How has the early or how have the early hours of voting been going . Well, voting is holding on. Its holding and its going on peacefully in many parts of the book in a fossil way. Voting is taking place, especially in the capital. The fear of a type still remains, but theres been no Major Incident since the start of voting at 6 oclock pm local time today, president of and the opposition leaders we understand have cast their ballots, says that its the Civic Responsibility of every book in our bid to vote, regardless of his political leanings, and he believes that what the country needs is peace and security right now. Hes in his own words, but cannot base must come out and vote for the next leader to morrow. So in other parts of were going to go to the his main contender or the man who challenged him in the previous election also voted. Remember, yesterday on saturday, the opposition claimed that the vote today is being rigged to favor president citing video. Evidences that they said, although unverified, that this that were ballot boxes that are unmarked and that they believe are going to be used to rig the vote in favor of president mubarak. Tell me more about president madden and the way he is viewed after 5 years in power. Obviously the opposition have their issues with him. How is he seen by the people . Well, 1st of all president couple main failing is to rein in the security situation in the region violence caused by militias and look at militias as well as foreign fighters on terror tree. A large swathe of areas in brooklyn, a fossil which is a landlocked and poor african west african country. Now out of state control, or administered, say by these armed groups, but based in brooklyn, a fossil crossing over from neighboring mali. So his main failings, of course, is the security situation. Remember, he was voted in 2015 around this time. And a few weeks later, there were major attacks in general, henri, in the capital. And that sets the ball rolling or sets the cycle of violence in a fossil today, were talking about 2000 people whove been killed and more than a 1000000, people displaced. Hes attempted to make some inroads to promote education. And these have not helped because more than 300000 homes are now out of school in particular fossil as a result of the violence in the north and east of the country. So hes ability to deliver on some of the election promises he made in 2015, were greatly hampered by the security situation in which you have us right now and interests following the became the lections today. Lets hear from who is the executive director of the west African Network for peacebuilding. He tells the countrys fragile security well on impulse and the armed groups. Indeed along with gene of president. Lets compare our really been a lot of these quotes in moments among the citizens and bees. Issues that we have bottle of throughout the 27 years of single rule that a lot of people describe as privacy. And they are for like every minute from autocratic regime to consolidate that democracy. You know, sees that citizens expressions because theyre and not, well, money its, we always go in the form of violence. And then of course were not fossil is also in the side. Harry john, which is already exposed to a lot of violent extremists. And that is why in this instance, he said election on each of these candidates. We have you soon wounds to heal. And of course need to start a force very this and, and john that electorates one, 5th of the conferees not going to be able to vote on one part is that they will continue to feel alienated from the ministry in government. And then on the other part is also the perception of the extremists that they have actually succeeded. Because if they are on who votes, then it means that the, the, they are winning the war as it were. Because the state machinery is not and not to allow the citizens, which is what they have been if minutes now opposition parties in pakistan, a gathering for a rally, calling on Prime Minister mohan to step down. They killed the military of rigging the election. 2 years ago. Israel is going ahead despite the government ban on public gatherings to curb rising coronavirus cases. As the protesters say, the governments just using as an excuse to stop hasnt stopped them. What sort of numbers of come out today . Where definitely the opposition is not had not paid any heed to get their governments warning. We have seen before. The converging on the new crowd, tens of thousands are dead. Must not be forgotten. That combined Political Party and including Major Political parties such as the muslim league, peoples party, the national party, and other smaller parties, that gray davis call it a very large crowd. However, it has no value for him to resign. Trying to galvanize movement. No, not down democratic movement. They want to portray their own government. Theres a design because they say that government has not lived up to its economy. That is going spending out of control for a show of force by the opposition to end the program. But the government, on the other hand saying that the opposition is being careless and playing with the lives of the people. Well, how bad is the situation in some of its not great for large groups of people to be gathering like this. But how is the situation across the country . Well, people are going to be watching this right now. Nervous after a hand should because theres been a 200 percent increase in the number of corporate 19. The opposition, of course, brushing this all aside saying the government is using their heads up, lawyers to try to deter them from holding such rallies. These rallies will continue next month old. So there is a hold that the government that the Opposition Party will be able to galvanize public support and of god go against any. And so fades or any rules that the government set for them because they say the government is trying to play politics. There has been large builders in the country. Of course, the fact that there were the election recently and get a good budget just on all the Political Parties was campaigning there also including the governments Political Party. So now of course the government sticking to its point, saying that such a large rallies are the opposition. Of course theyre going to continue with day protests and they have plans to do more across the country. Commodified as in push our out that antigovernment protests. Thank you, colonel protesters and police have fought in guatemalas capital. After hundreds of people stormed the Congress Building and set it on fire tear gas was fired to clear the crowds.

Those further protest at what tomorrow city thousands gathered in central plaza. They say the plot, it was negotiated in secret and would not benefit the people. There is no way to show our anger how fed up we are. We are tired of so much abuse by the authorities. They are getting into debt. The people are tired and will not tolerate any more compassionate cuts to education, Health Spending and social programs, but increased politicians expenses. Critics say the budget benefits private companies that have links to the government. The budget was destroyed or broke the camels back. But the thing is that people were upset at the government. Mostly because to read it and then make their Government Back in march. Raise money that we were supposed to be for economic aid, but the aid never made it to the people who need it the most. So thats the main concern of people. What im on is president Alexander Day condemned the violent protests on twitter, saying those who participated will be punished with the full force of the law.

Well, this pandemic is feeling a global recession, isnt it . And for some nations, greece, for example, that means a 2nd Major Economic downturn in a decade. And governments hoping some large investment in Digital Technology may offer a solution. John psaropoulos reports, that video is a town of unemployment. The money spent at the local Farmers Market comes largely from pensions because traditional industry is gone. Ancient, silver and book site mines were abandoned 30 years ago, so were textile mills that employed thousands. This may all be about to change because Software Giant microsoft may be interested in buying these hollowed out facilities. Its part of a wave of Digital Technology investments thats happening in greece. Please tell us of a couple who was in the netherlands when she heard the u. S. Drugmaker. Pfizer was hiring Software Engineers in her home city of the sun, an e. Q. You know, you can, you have small its one of just 6 global Digital Technology hopes. Teams of Software Engineers will speed up the analysis of diseases and the testing of cures. The government is actively pursuing Digital Investment because it has a Multiplier Effect on the economy. Internet speeds and local data centers are expected to attract other investments. And in the age of coronavirus, more and more services are moving online. This old textile mill is one site microsoft is reportedly considering as the location of the massive new data center. The company has said it will spend about half a 1000000000. 00 building 3 such centers in greece over the next 3 years to provide Cloud Computing services for south east europe.
