American. President elect joe biden unveils his new team and pledges to restore the United States position as a world leader. And the pandemic paying for londons famed black cabs. The crisis is driving one in 5 off the roads after nearly 3 weeks of fighting the deadline, imposed by the Ethiopian Government for to Ground Forces to surrender is set to expire. Late on wednesday, the federal army has encircled it to grow its capital mackellar, and is threatening the use of artillery on the city of 500000. People to ground leaders deny claims though, that they have actually begun surrendering well if you have his Prime Minister made is asking the International Community not to interfere in the conflict. He says, well, we appreciate and understand the interest of the International Community to assist the ongoing Law Enforcement operations as he calls them. We would also like to underscore that this must be done in accordance with international law. This 1st and foremost means the International Community should stand by until the government of ethiopia submit its request for assistance to the community of nations. Well, ahmed is also said the reported massacre in the town of my cat. There is evidence of the criminality. Newly released video appears to show graves and bodies. European state appointed Human Rights Commission is accusing members of a particular to growing youth group of killing about 600 civilians there earlier this month. United nations is calling for an impartial investigation. While many of those escaping the fighting from my car that i have now arrived in sudan, but theyve had to leave family members behind. A correspondent to morgan spoke to some of them when fighting came to her hometown of make out there. And if the degree region to testify fled with most of her children. But she had to leave her 2 oldest daughters behind integris capital and the high then they went to study mccully with a school in the fighting started. And there was no way for me to contact them. Now i dont know where they are and how they are doing. They said they didnt have enough money before the fighting started. 1. 00 is 14. 00 and 1. 00 is 15. Are they being feed . Are they being taken care of their only children . Since the fighting started integrate in early november . More than 40000, people have fled to sudan states of say more than 5000000 are trapped in the region with no access to humanitarian aid. Sudanese Authorities Say nearly 3000 people arrive every day. It is the head of well, i arrived here 2 weeks ago, since his arrival has been searching for the parents of these 3 children. When the fighting came to the town of mar, kendra, everyone started running. These 3 siblings were in the town and seemed lost. So i took them with me. I tried to look for the appearance, but i couldnt find them or even used loudspeakers among those displaced. When all filed, i came with him to this camp. If you piers government has imposed a Telecommunications Blackout in the region since the start of the fighting with malfunctioning 4 lines of Internet Access into great families who have left loved ones behind say theyre not sure if theyre still alive. Most have started the process of tracking their parents or children, hoping theyve arrived in sudan, but are in a different camp. And as more of these arrive, the number of families separated by the conflict is rising. Sudanese Authorities Say theyre not sure how many children have been separated from their parents or how many mothers and fathers left their children behind. Aid organizations say efforts are being made to reunite families. As you know, children and women are always the disproportionate impact of influx of refugees. And we have social workers who are working with them as well as the police. And they are in safe place at the moment. And were going to be starting tracing their families with our c. R. C. But for those like me who have left their children behind, the process is yet to start. She says she can only pray her daughters are still alive and someday make it to the camp. If not, she has to wait until the fighting and to go back and look for them. And shes not sure how long that will take her morgan with that report shes live with us now from gather, its near the Sudanese Border with ethiopia. The speed with which this is happened here, it seems not long ago. We were talking about 1520000 people crossing the border. Its up above 14000. 00 in fact, come out, were talking at more than 4. Were talking about more than 40000 who arrived just over the past 3 weeks. When you look at the u. N. Projections, they say that they expect 200000 refugees to arrive over the coming 6 months. But when you look at the rate of arrivals with at least 3000 people arriving every single day, according to sudanese authorities, theyre expecting the number of 200000 refugees to reach to reach that figure, much earlier sudanese Authorities Say that could happen in as soon as 3 months if not sooner, and theyre worried about the capability or their capacity to handle this influx of refugees. Theyve already opened 2 border, 3 port a reception point to receive the refugees. And there are 3 camps, one of them in the neighboring state, of course, and 2 of them here in the body. And theyre already plans to open a 3rd camp here and get out of state. But they say that the biggest concern is how to provide for these refugees. Most of them have walked for days to be able to make it to the border before theyve been try pointed to the refugee camps here in the body of most of them have been separated from their families. Children specifically not sure where their parents are, and of course with 3 camps already open, they could be in any of those camps or they could be left behind if you where there are no telecommunications. So theres a huge concern about the well being and the families that have come here to sudan seeking safety. Of course this is just before the deadline that was imposed, that was imposed by the Prime Minister abu ahmed, which is due to expire later today. And so there are concerns that more refugees will arrive, should the fighting escalates. And so these authorities are saying that theyre not sure how they will be able to handle that employed shouldnt happen in the coming days. Thank you. Morgan. With that update from gathering in sudan. In other developments, ethiopia has pulled 3 of its soldiers of if ethnicity, im sorry, from a Un Peacekeeping mission in south sudan in the same somalia, where several 100 to go in. Soldiers serving in a peacekeeping force were disarmed. On to other news, hong kongs chief executive, kerry lam has defended beijings National Security law. She said her urgent priority now is to restore order in the territories political system from what she says is chaos. In a speech outlining plans for the coming year said her government will begin a Public Education program too in hunts the understanding of the rule of law. This is, of course, beijings law which imposed the National Security law in june and high profile opposition activists have since been jailed total nonsense. I hope that through collaboration with various stakeholders, a more targeted Public Education activities will be carried out, including educating the youth on the proper understanding of the rule of law and promoting their law abiding awareness and research on the rule of law and related Data Compilation will be conducted with sites through and hands efforts in promotion and explanation to clarify misconceptions and understanding the department of justice will continue to showcase how horrid means a neutral and effective internationally for deal making. And this be Resolution Services more from adrian brown is following this from hong kong survey. Carrie lan, referred right at the top of her address to the protests that began more than 18 months ago. She said that hong kongs National Security had been endangered by what she called external forces. Without elaborating on what they were. But she did say the new National Security law that was imposed on hong kong on july, the forced had now restored stability in the city. Now kerry has been addressing what in many ways is a shrunken legislature because no opposition now sits inside that chamber because the prodemocracy camp has either resigned or been disqualified. So that means that we have, in a sense, the chief executive addressing what is little more than an echo chamber and carry on herself say analysts has become something of a diminished political figure. Her report card is not good. Her popularity rating. The moment stands at a dismal 26 percent compared to 64 percent after she took office more than 3 and a half years ago. Kerry lambs real thrust today though, has been to talk about what is going on across the border, her message to the disaffected youth here in hong kong. And there are many of them. Is essential go north because thats where the opportunities and the real jobs are. So in a sense, shes telling the youth of hong kong to go across the border and find work there. America is back, at least it will be, and thats the message from president elect, joe biden, as he moves ahead with preparations to take charge in the oval office. He has unveiled some of his senior cabinet cabinet, picks, men and women who he says will restore americas leadership in the world. She had her townsend reports from delaware. President elect biden was unequivocal as he presented his National Security appointments and nominees. Its a team that reflects the fact that america is back ready to lead the world, not retreat from it. Once again, sit at the head of the table, ready to confront our adversaries, and not reject our allies ready to stand up for our values. Much was made of the backgrounds of the nominees as examples of the american dream. Linda thomas greenfield, nominated as u. S. Ambassador and 100 by all costs, are latino immigrants nominated to lead the department of homeland security. And avril haynes, the 1st female director of national intelligence. If confirmed mr. President , you know that i have never shied away from speaking truth to power. But for all the talk of diversity, this is a National Security team that symbolizes the return of the washington Foreign Policy establishment after 4 years in the cold. None more so than secretary of state nominee tony blinken, deputy secretary of state under president obama, and a long time Foreign Policy adviser to biden. Hes going to be followed more of an advocate for u. S. Military intervention around the world than the president elects lincoln has spent the last few years consulting for weapons manufacturers and big tech america at its best still has a greater ability than any other country on earth. To bring others together to meet the challenges of our time, but biden has pledged fresh thinking on Foreign Policy. Perhaps a recognition that a key reason that some voters switched from the democrats to trump in 2016 was their disappointment that president obama had not brought the change in Foreign Policy. Hed promised, and bidens incoming National Security adviser did speak of an approach to Foreign Policy, not traditionally expressed in washington, the alliances, we rebuild the institutions. We believe the agreements we sign all of them should be judged by a basic question. Will this make life better, easier, safer for families across this country . Our Foreign Policy has to deliver for the us biden is making one key change, a special president ial envoy for climate. John kerry will sit on the National Security council with a pledge to make the environment central to policymaking across government. But there is some skepticism of the washington insiders being chosen will be the woman has to deliver a fresh policy thinking. The president elect is promising. She ever turns the aljazeera wilmington, delaware, in the news ahead, a survivor story. Women in mexico occupy a government building to shelter from Domestic Violence and japans 1000000 yen mass, diamonds, pearls and crystals.

All of africa, some or all coast saying some showers, some longer spells affright, becoming increasingly widespread for thursday. To jump into the stream. And julian on Global Community bio diversity is bio security. It is that essential for our species to survive . Be part of the debate. I know you have 90 days and you can be part of this conversation when no topic is off the table, the police are not neutral and all of these cases goal here is to terrorize. And heres the other part of this. Theres no consequence to this stream. On out is the root without 0, these are the top stories this hour. A deadline imposed by the Ethiopian Government for to Ground Forces to surrender is set to expire later on wednesday. The federal army is threatening the use of artillery on if Regional Forces fail to lay down arms, hong kongs chief executives defended a crackdown on the opposition and praised the widely criticized National Security law.

Sudanese Asylum Seekers in israel say theyre worried about the impact of last months deal, which normalizes ties between israel and sudan. Both governments have said they will concentrate 1st on agriculture and trade, but migrations very much on the agenda as well. There are fears, thousands of sudanese in israel could be deported or forsett reports from tel aviv tel aviv is it was mined barrackers home. He works as an advocate for african students, but his life here is precarious. His asylum application lodged in 2013 has never been ruled on. He needs to renew his temporary residency. Each year. He fled darfur as a child after his father and brother were killed in militia attacks. He fears what would happen if he were forced now to return to sudan. If its really decided to report thats back. We dont know where to go. Because again, it says that happening and we, even of the taking different report from our at the pan is who is living in i. D. P. Cant go forward and are saying different. And its still going to happen is the war happening . Barack is concerned stems from the normalization deal announced at the white house last month between israel and sudan. Do you think sleepy joke, or maybe theres fear, maybe you know why your one minute Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu says he wants to address migration issues. As part of the process, ministers have long sought the removal of tens of thousands of africans. They call infiltrators. Interior Ministry Says of the 6285 sudanese, a 1000 have been granted temporary residency, more than 5000, others are waiting to their asylum claims. Sudans, former president Omar Al Bashir was opposed last year and awaits possible trial on war crimes charges. But activists say the Israeli Government itself has reported continued insecurity in the country is, well, were not there to be pulled the genocide survivors. It would open asylum claims without checking the deal signed with us. This is like a kind of lead to the line that i dont believe the country will cause, despite so many violations of the international law, israel has failed before to make good on domestic promises to expel africans 3 years ago to shoot an ultimatum to accept deportation. To a 3rd country or face indefinite detention. The new book sounds of protesters to the streets and was eventually defeated in the supreme court. The Detention Center in the southern desert has since been closed. Israels Prime Ministers office declined our request for comment ahead of israels 1st direct talks with sudan. Since the normalisation deal was announced in the meantime for the thousands of sudanese here in israel, it means a continuation of an uncertain and contingent life aware that their futures are reliant on decisions made by governments and courts. Its a way of life. Theyve got used to now over many years are a force that aljazeera television, politicians from brive. All libyan factions are to hold a joint parliamentary session for the 1st time in years. And peace based, both in tripoli and broke will meet in the libyan city of them.

When my name is eddie, come out of the unit in my daughters victims of violence. On november 2nd 2017, my 7 year old daughter was 6 really abused by my brother in law. She was 7 and my brother in law was 43. I reported it to the police, but i had to spend 2 years fighting for justice just for the investigation against him to begin with. But we lost our home, our job, and everything we had when i started making deals for women. And sadly, most of them told me stories of this exiled violence that they too had suffered. And when they lent what happened to my daughter, they said that they were proud of my struggle of this equation is worsening right now, jule independent, gender violence has increased. He believed all of these is a National Authorities did apathy. There is no wanting to work for women, but we decided together with other women to occupy the building. On september the 4th, the building has been converted into a shelter for women who are victims of violence with the children. They can come here without being judged. On the contrary, they are left because we speak to understand them. There are all these changes and you have 2 options. You either stay at home crying or you go out and fight. I realize that if you want to change things, you have to go out, go out and burn things, break things, go out and scream. Because if not, no one sees, you know, when he is you and that apathy is it was the in the world france now where a controversial bill that would limit the rights to film or take photos of French Police offices has passed its 1st hurdle in parliament. The lower house voted in favor of the proposed law, has hundreds protested in paris rights groups, and journalists have criticized the bill, which makes it illegal to share images of Police Officers with the intent to cause them harm.

They argue filming offices, whether as journalists or citizens is actually the only way to ensure the police are held to account.

Many drivers of quit and socalled taxi graveyards are now starting to appear around the capital for britain has more in a field just outside london is an extraordinary sight. There are more than 200 london cabs here, gridlocked in the green belt. This is one of the citys growing number of taxi graveyards vehicles that no passengers want to hire a new driver wants to rent. We are struggling with some finance companies because they need their funds paid in. However, if youre not renting the vehicle, you cant. You cant pay whats not coming in between june and november of this year. And the only 4000. 00 of these iconic london black cabs came off the road thats more than 20 percent of the total. And theyre ending up in graveyard such as this a couple of 100 here. Hundreds more in other garages on lock up areas all around the capital. And the question is whether any of these vehicles will ever make it back out onto the road again . Among those drivers still clinging on at the taxi ranks. The view is bleak. Yesterday i worked 6 hours, i went to were 28 pounds. So today, nearly 4 hours now i have done only 2 jobs. Cavalier has worn that with more than a quarter of the Current Fleet being 0 emission electric vehicles. Taking taxis off the road is actually doing more harm than good. We were an industry back in march. That was a best in 50000000 pounds a week in new electric vehicles, a new electric infrastructure, and those vehicles now are in danger of being repossessed. Were in position where we could be going backwards rather than forwards. An absolute disaster that sentiment is indorsed by this clean air campaign. I have not had the support that other sectors of the economy had of had. And what i would like to see is the government putting support in and using this moment that the billions and hundreds of billions of money that are being spent into driving the taxi industry and other, industries towards much cleaner vehicles. Since its introduction in the 1950 s. , the london black cab has been a british design icon. But nostalgia and style cannot by themselves. Keep these vehicles on the road.

And thats why complaints against the government have been on the rice that patient rice in already believe. I have to remember dad.
