A quote later on during this global pandemic, another threat, putting the lives of millions of women at risk, you will hear from a Domestic Violence survivor northern ethiopia, 1st of all where after nearly 3 weeks of fighting a deadline, imposed by the government for the to ground, forces to surrender is to expire. Later on wednesday, the federal army has surrounded the capital mccully, and it is threatening the use of artillery on the city of 500000. People to get a leader to deny claims though that their fighters have begun surrendering. Weve heard from ethiopias Prime Minister, who is asking the International Community not to intervene. He says, well, we appreciate and understand the interest of the International Community to assist the ongoing Law Enforcement operations. He calls them. We would also like to under school. 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 such requests for assistance. Also said the reported massacre in the town of my car is evidence of the criminality. Newly released video appears to show graves and bodies. If european state appointed Human Rights Commission is accusing members of a temporary and youth group of killing about 600 civilians earlier this month, the United Nations is calling for an impartial investigation. Many of those who escaped the fighting in my car broke have now arrived in sudan, but they have had to leave family members behind in some cases have been more than spoke to some of them when fighting came to her hometown of make had to 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 this 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 aid organizations 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 mark 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, 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 efforts are being made to reunite families of children, the influx of refugees, and we have social workers who are working with them as well as the police. And were going to be starting with 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 that report from her morgan, whos live now in the Sudanese Border with ethiopia. The numbers of people crossing the border now you were telling us a while ago its upwards of 40000. Now can the camps even cope with these sorts of numbers coming across . Well, thats the thing. Come out of the camps where the refugees are being house or hosted right now. Are not conventional camps. For example, this camp where we are, its a place that was set up for sudanese residents who were displaced by a dam. That was built not far from here. And was not resided by those people. So it was largely an uninhabited place before the refugees came in. Lets take a look behind me. You can see refugees still continuing to arrive. Most of the people who are under that tent and behind it are refugees who are still arriving. Most of them from the town of may kudrow, all of them talking about harrowing stories of displacement, of people knocking on their doors at night. Of victims of seeing people being slaughtered and hearing gunshots and aerial bombardment that force them to flee and come here to sudan. Now over 3000 are fleeing very difficult to sydneys authorities, and the camps are simply not enough. Thats what the authorities are saying. Theyre saying that theres a shortage of health care, a proper food, sanitation, and places for them to live in other camps such as it, which is about 120 kilometers away from here. Most of them are still out in the open. Then theres the border. The Reception Center in a neighboring state where people are registered, but they dont have a place to stay so much so some of them are being hosted by the community. Now the biggest concern is that the figure that the un predicted of 200000 refugees coming to sudan over the next 6 months. That figure may be reached as soon as in the next 3 months and authorities are saying that they will not be able to accommodate without international help. The number which is 200000 in the next 3 months. Who are morgan report from governor in sudan . Just another Development Today with ethiopia, its pulled 3 of its soldiers who are all of ticket and ethnicity from a Un Peacekeeping mission in south sudan. Done the same in somalia as well where several 100 to go in soldiers serving in a peacekeeping force were disarmed or on to other news. And protesters are gathering in thailands capital in the latest show of defiance against the government and the monarchy. Large crowds expected, and indeed they are outside a bank in bangkok of which the king is the Majority Shareholder for months. Demonstrators have been demanding the royal family embrace some reforms. Hes reporting from the protests, a very targeted protest today. Not just general anger at the government really going after the finances youre. Absolutely, very specific. Im wrong. Why theyre here. C m commercial bank, as you mentioned, the largest shareholder is the king of this bank, 23 percent of this bank. Billions of dollars are own personally by by the king. And i say personally, because they used to be before 2 years ago before this recent act was passed and implemented, the crown the property bureau, all the assets that the crown owns, the monarchy would be administered by a panel as well as anything Big Decisions to be made by the ministry of finance incorporated into that Decision Making process. What happened 2 years ago, the king has now fully controlled all the assets. Were talking about 30 1000000000. 00 here in thailand that the king himself controls. Thats one of the things that these antigovernment protesters, prodemocracy protesters want to change. One of the 3 main demands they have the 1st is the Prime Minister. Resign 2nd is a new constitution. That 3rd is reform within the monarchy. And within that reform, there are very focused on this, and that is transparency with the finances of the king. And this shift that took place just 2 years ago. So were in front of the bank now, right in front of the gleaming buildings of the headquarters for the bank, this protest. And this, it was planned to be in front of the Crown Property bureau, which is in a very high profile, sensitive part of the city, very large Security Posture in the last 24 hours, even stacked up not shipping containers as blockades to prevent the protesters from getting in the protesters tuesday night switch to plan and they decided to come here and they have been coming in the thousands, you know, and its because this now has been deemed a legal gatherings. So its a much different atmosphere than we would have seen of those over there because even from the governments harder stance, if you will harden the harsher rhetoric about how theyre going to deal with the protests moving, moving forward to come to the laws that they can implement specifically when it came to those areas around the world policy, then you were a property. Thats why smartly, i would have to say the protesters decided to come here. The point is still being made because then from the bank that 20 percent is owned by the king, but they will do it peacefully and legally and quite honestly, its now a bit like and might bark it. Whereas before they went to their original plan, it could have been a much different scene. Thank you for that report. Scott hiding in bangkok. Americans back that message coming straight from the president elect joe biden. As he moves ahead with preparations to take charge in the white house, he has unveiled some of his senior cabinet, picks, men and women, and says, will restore americas leadership in the world and support from she hypertensive in 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.

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.

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 .

We could travel from one region to another and spend christmas with their families. But germany is going to be extending its partial shutdown. Chancellor Angela Merkel is expected to speak later on weapons day about longer, tougher restrictions. A country continues to recall thousands of cases every day, despite imposing these restrictions at the start of november. When it came in berlin, germany has reported its worst ever death rates today more than 400 people. And i says, having died in the previous 24 hours, not certainly very considerable food for thought for the politicians who are meeting in berlin in the course of the next few hours to work out what they do next. Whats clear here is that there is a political will in germany amongst the federal government, that there should be some form of tougher lock down the lockdown. Thats in place right now is a lighter version of the full on lockdown as it were, the one that had teeth, people were saying back at the beginning of the pandemic back in the spring, but ranged against those people. Those ministers are many Prime Ministers of small states in germany who say that the numbers they have where they are, are solo. But they dont believe that there should be a tougher lockdown that they see to be infringing peoples freedoms. If there was an angle in that cold call, she wants to toughen if she can. But can she arranged on the one side angle americal on the Prime Minister of of area marcus or a leading conservative saying toughen where possible.

Right now, lets help each other safely. Right now, women in mexico are among those facing higher levels of violence during this pandemic. And with nowhere else to go, victims are occupying a government building in the capital. One of the women has found refuge there. We want to show all the women that we are not scared anymore. 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, clearly 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. We lost our home, our job, and everything we had. When i started making deals for women, and sadly, most of them told this story. So the stakes are violence that they too had suffered. And when they lent what happened to my daughter, they said that they were proud of my struggle is that the situation is worsening. Right now, jule independent gender violence has increased. We believe the root of all of these is the nationals, the authorities did apathy. Theres 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. All of these changes and you have 2 options. You either stay at home crying or you go out and fight.

According to the official number of Internet Security we have, it is of 122 percent. And the case of the mess to confide in and spy, and to mete partner all by a family member, the government of lebanon, or the defense governments. What do you think of the country where never serious about looking at women as citizens. Although at the is taking the needs of women and to conservation whenever we have a crisis its, its obvious that and in any crisis whether, whether its an Armed Conflict or, and kind of a crisis, i have the crisis, we need to take it a day at most one of us to predation, our women and children.
