That is a memorial. She will be for the artist working to one of the hundreds of thousands of americans who died from covert 19. So the ethiopian Prime Minister has ordered a final offensive on the Northern Territory region and says that a humanitarian corridor will be opened to help those fleeing the conflict. It has warned residents to stay indoors after ordering the army to move in normally regional capital of mecca. The government imposed deadline for to Ground Forces to surrender expired on wednesday. That has been nearly 3 weeks of fighting with hundreds killed and tens of thousands displaced. Well, the u. N. Is warning of critical aid shortages in the region. It says that fuel cash and food are all running out. And many of those displaced have already fled over the border to neighboring sudan, where him or his right now, where we are is a camp thats not far from the sudan, is here border. And its where more than 15000 refugees have arrived over the past 3 weeks. All of them saying that theyre escaping shelling that theyve seen people being slaughtered, that theyve left family members behind and came here for their safety. They say that because of the lack of telecommunication and because of lack of access to many parts of to grieve, they cant confirm whether their relatives who theyve left behind are still alive or not. But most of them say that when they came here, they had to wait for more than a week to be able to access aid and aid aid groups and international organizations. Say that thats largely because this influx of refugees happened. All of a sudden they were not expecting it for there. For example, the World Food Program said that it had to get food from other programs. It has in the country to be able to supply aid for those people who are here more than 40000. Refugees have already crossed into the sudan into the sudan side of the border here and got out of state as well as neighboring desolate states. Now the biggest challenge when it comes to providing aid for, for those refugees, is the fact that most of the roads are very difficult to access. Logistically, lets not forget that sadam had a very exceptional flood season just a couple of months ago where most of the roads were damaged. So aid groups say that logistically speaking, moving many of their songs to this area in response with the rise of the refugees would be very challenging. And there are concerns that they would be more than 200000. 00 refugees in sudan in the next 6 months. 8 are going to show that they are trying to step up so that no refugee is left in need. Well, thats enough. American webb, whos in the kenyan capital of nairobi and has more on the conflict in ethiopia. He issued the ultimatum on sunday and said that to graham fighters had 3 days to surrender, lay down their arms and head of what they said would be a final salt on the final assault on the regional capital of mackay, which is a city of about half a 1000000 people now since then weve heard conflicting claims from both sides about how close the federal forces are to the city 70 kilometers 50 kilometers, even as close as 30 kilometers. But we havent yet heard any reports of shelling on the city itself, but this is something that rights organizations have expressed. Grave concern about because its such a dense population of civilians. Theyre saying be very dangerous if theres heavy fighting there at all. And in case of Amnesty International said that shelling of the city could even potentially constitute a war crime. The statement from the Prime Minister of the Prime Ministers office has said that the federal government started giving out humanitarian assistance, food, water, and medicines in the areas that it controls. It said its setting up for camps for the displaced people. Now the u. N. Said that about more than 800000, people in the region were dependent on humanitarian assistance. Even before this conflict began and estimates an additional 1000000 are going to need assistance because many of the people have been displaced by the fighting in some of the smaller towns over the last few weeks. Because its not. The u. N. Says its not possible for their Partner Organizations to access these people. All these places that its not known exactly at this moment. How many people need help, or where they are. A Turkish Court has handed down hundreds of life sentences for those accused of plotting to overthrow president won 4 years ago as one of the biggest cases related to the failed coup. With 475 suspects. More than 250 people died during the attempted takeover on july the 15th in 2016. Parliament and president ial buildings were fired upon and the Turkish Military chief was taken hostage in turkey, says u. S. Space political figure for 2 lagoon and coordinated the attack with a faction of the military. Its a charge that he denies nearly 80000. 00. People have since been arrested there accused of links with golan, and more than 130000, including military personnel have been sacked or suspended from jobs in the public sector. Lets get some reaction from turkey, starting with relatives of some of those who were killed is unable to lead to a lot of reason. We believe adequate punishments were given in accordance with existing laws. We think that justice has been served. The state did not leave martyrs, families, veterans blood on the ground. This trial of 4 years was pointless. This court passed its verdicts as if only approving the prosecutors notion without keeping any statements or evidence in consideration. We are not happy with this verdict. We will carry it to the appropriate places i want to turkish people to be sensitive about this. Once again, because they are going to has more on the transom of concern. Now, from istanbul, it is the biggest trial among more than 280 cases that have been filed following difficult coup attempt back in 2016. Almost 270 of them have been concluded. There is a verdict for each of them, but a quarter of that is waited for an approval. But this, todays trial, which is the high profile one, that will be setting an example because so far, all those trials, of course, named as trials. And the defendants have been named as being members of Colonist Group or having organic ties with mr. Fair to the u. S. Space, turkish cleric. But the struggle is important because in this trial, goodland is the main defendant. He was tried in absentia, along with other 6 people who are fidgeting. Some of them are fugitives. More than 300 people have life sentences, and 19 of them are charged to aggravated life sentences. There are almost 70 people who have acquitted in this trial, which is an Important Development of course. But this is setting an example for the others because all those other trials were waiting this case to be finalized so that there will be in no refuses no rejections. But according to the turkish officers at the simon stone. Among the, among all the cases since the failed coup in 2016, germany is imposing Strict Lockdown measures as it struggles to suppress a 2nd wave of corona virus infections. December private gatherings will be restricted to 5 people, increasing to 10 during christmas. But chancellor Angela Merkel has warned that whited measures are likely to continue into january, so shes germans to be patient bars and restaurants to close. Schools and some shops remain open. America is also pushing for a European Union vote on shutting the ski resorts over worries. They could become coronavirus super spreaders. But all serious government has rejected that idea. Saying that when a sports will go ahead with precautions there and france has kept its results open. The way it has shut down all channels england will replace its National Lockdown with a system of regional tears. In december, there are 3 levels with different restrictions at large parts of the country, mostly in the north and in the center will be under the strictest level. Well bred and is in 7 x. In kent, which will be under tier 3. And he says, there is some frustration over how the restrictions have been applied. The end of the National Lockdown here in england wont come a minute too soon. For many people and many livelihoods who have been impacted quite severely by the restrictions that have been imposed upon them in the past several weeks. But there are winners and losers from the new system. For example, liverpool will come out of the highest level of restriction, not 2 or 3. A move down to tier 2 london will stay interior to manchester will stay in tier 3, but only 3 areas will move to the lowest level of restrictions to warm the thick of sheppey. Of whites and cornwall, and many other areas will move to tier 23. 00 and im in one of them. This is kent, the garden of england, as its described, the county of kent in the south east of england. Here there will be 2 or 3, but that is causing a lot of angst here because there is a big difference in fiction rates from one end of the country, county to the other. For example, ramsgate has a rolling 7 day average of around 570. 00 infections per 100000 here in sevenoaks. Its just 76 per 100000 that has an impact because staying in 2 or 3 means restaurants like this bar and probably over my shoulder, the restaurant thats behind me have to stay close. They can only do take away a massive impact on their business. In the run up to christmas m. P. s for the local area on a happy. People are also not happy, but the government says its absolutely necessary to stay on top of this infection. It has begun 3 days of National Mourning for one of its greatest ever football players. Diego maradona. These are live pictures from bulldozers where his body is lying in state at the president ial palace queuing up outside. In fact, millions of fans around the world have been remembering murdered on the cheap fold with police as they lined up. So you could block by at least a 1000000 people expected to pay their respects to the legendary number 10 in the coming days. Organizers struggling to make manage the crowds during the coronavirus pandemic. Well, maradona died of a heart attack on wednesday. He was 60 years old. He scored the infamous kind of gold goal on the way to winning the world cup in 1906. But off the field he battled addiction, sports stars, politicians in the head of the catholic church. Even pope francis, of praise, the man many argue say, is the best to ever play the game as it is outside the president ial palace. And one has errands. Well, i didn t. Know isnt morning and theres thousands and thousands of people that are coming here. Theyre lining up in this long line here. The karma here to go inside the president ial palace and be able to say goodbye to him. He does say is a national hero, the government of progress, our security apparatus, and to try to prevent not only violence but also because the coronavirus hungama argentina is one of the most affected countries. People are throwing stones that ask some of them are not, theres no social reforms. And so suddenly the s. S. Arnolds are concerned thats still there, said i, well, whats happening here shows the enormous flows. Is that a day that i dont harp on peoples mind when you talk to some of those people . Many of them, hard from poor neighborhoods, not fully in want to file for another course of the country. Thats what happened to them. And i own another. And i came from one of the poorest areas of one of cider and he made it could ever afford to some of the worlds most famous football clubs. He also made it to one a, 119 alone, a city that we have now the single just didnt know it was already. How do you feel when it all blew up in argentina . Almost all the people here feel that, but i dont know who the hero today mostly because of those 2 famous goals during the world cup against england after the molinas falklands islands was a goal that they fulfilled argentina dignity after losing another war. So there are now is there out why former rebels in colombia say the government is failing to protect them, as promised in the 2016 peace agreement. Plus will it hear from farmers in bangladesh, use it protest against the plan to repair a dam has had tragic consequences for how the weather looks decidedly unsettled across the middle east. Over the next couple of days, if a bit of cloud rolling towards the levant, syria, lebanon, jordan, sings, and what the weather out west, the weather, just sliding across northern parts of iraq, will see some showers there, coming into iran and notices line of wesel, weather coming, of northern parts of saudi arabia, down towards red, say pockets of heavy rain there will lead to some localized flooding if anything becomes more widespread as because i want through saturday.

Plenty of showers across central parts of africa as they should. And they are sinking further now as the south, which is, well, well see that west of weather coming down across zimbabwe.

And ethiopias Prime Minister has announced a humanitarian corridor in the Northern Territory region to help civilians caught in the fighting. There has also ordered a final offensive against the Ground Forces. A Turkish Court has hand down hundreds of life sentences for those accused of plotting to overthrow president reza typer. 214, years ago.

The Electoral Commission says that rock aboard a has secured more than 3 times as many votes as his nearest rival. Thats a former finance ministers. Different, the opposition has claimed mass fraud in sundays poll, but this has been dismissed by the Electoral Commission. Hundreds of thousands of people were unable to vote because of fears of violence. But lets see if i will the announcement just for the provisional results of the president ial elections of 2020. Id like to think all bulky nowadays at home and abroad for the commitment and faithfulness they have in democracy. This election is historic for many reasons. 1st is the context in which it was held. The security everyone is aware of. Secondly, its the 1st time booking our base in the diaspora participated in elections and 3rd, a confirmation of democracy, taking firm roots here. The head of astra zeneca has told bloomberg news. His Pharmaceutical Company may have to run another global trial of its coronavirus vaccine. After concerns were raised about its effectiveness, it was produced in conjunction with a lot of university which says that some of the trial injections did not have the right amount of vaccine due to manufacturing error. The university has agreed to complete the late stage trial with 2 groups of astra zeneca says the testing has been done to the highest standard. Chris myth is a consultant brawler just that Cambridge University and an editor of the naked scientists. He says the area could end up working in astra zeneca his favor. Astra zeneca said that this may be a serendipitous positive because what they found when they actually analyze their data was that they had one group of individuals who had a 90 percent plus Response GroupResponse Rate to their vaccine. And another group that responded a bit less well, 60 or 70 percent when the vandalized the data, they have found that the individuals who got a smaller amount 1st and then a bigger dose next actually responded better than people who got to higher doses. And at face value that seems a bit paradoxical, and indeed it has got academics scratching their heads. But there are some possible explanations. In addition to it being just a to stick with chancel though that seems pretty unlikely. So people are now looking into this to say, well, if this does turn out to be the case, then the 100000000 doses of the vaccine that, that the u. K. Has already prior purchased from astra zeneca. Instead of treating half the population will actually have enough coverage to go through the entire population. Weve known for a while that we should anticipate some degree of what is dubbed vaccine hesitancy. There was a recent survey conducted in the u. S. In which about half of respondents said that where they offer the vaccine tomorrow they wouldnt take it. I think that number has shifted a bit, particularly as weve seen the responses to the trials improve, you know, the data come back and very, very high levels of response and protection comfort. To some extent, i think this may take care of itself because the people who, who tend to be most likely to say no to a vaccine initially are not those people by and large here in the highest risk groups. Meanwhile, frances Health Minister says the country will need to be transparent about it. Simulation programs because of public skepticism towards vaccines. The government says it could start rolling them out by the end of the year, france began its 2nd National Lockdown last month and since seen a drop in the cases, police in paris are investigating allegations that a black Community Producer was physically attacked and racially abused by officers, the incident was recorded by security cameras inside the mans studio. He told reporters who police followed him off to see him outside without a face mask. 3 officers involved have been suspended. The incident comes ahead of a protest against police violence. On saturday. There are 3 people who came and attacked me and these people are supposed to protect us. I didnt do anything to deserve that.

It exists and i was lucky and like many others to have videos that protect me, colombias peace corps has summoned senior ministers to a public hearing looking into the deaths of former fog rebels at least 243. 00 of died since the government signed its peace accord with the group in 2016 and has more now from bogota, 3 ministers, the attorney general and other high level officials were summoned for the 1st time by colombias peace court. But in the end, mostly deputies arrived to respond to a thorny question with killing the mobilize fighters in the country and what can be done to protect them. X. Fighter is being killed every 5 minutes, by no doubt are truly alarming. More than 200 in 40 former fighters have been killed since the story of the Colombian Peace deal. 4 years ago. Hundreds more have been tracked. And i mean a worsening of security in areas where reciprocal criminal groups fight for control of Drug Trafficking routes and other illegal activities. The Court Ordered the government to increase protective measures back in april, but the killings continued visibly emotional fark senator victorious. And dino said the government is to blame. It was a point when, i mean, unfortunately this sort of being here celebrating the advances of concentrating peace. We are holding this hearing for the killings and prosecution of those who gave up their weapons. These are systematic killings, not isolated incidents. There are clear patterns from of the owner of the fledgling peace corps has been at odds with the right wing government of uganda. A critic of the peace accord. The judges repeatedly questioned the government about the lack of effective measures. But Officials Say theres, its an uphill battle when theyre not being killed due to the negligence of the state or its lack of concern. All x. Fighters need to understand that we are doing everything we can, and we want to do more. Theres much debate about whos killing the exparte combatants and why the government things says that these murders are not systematic in nature and respond to a number of both. But others are servers insists that these killings instead show that the conflict in the country is not over. And he said it has simply mutated the unwillingness of the convent government to recognize the systema to society. Of the killings basically ignores other experiences of the transition to peace around the world in which this sadly is a common feature and i believe it, it hampers their kombi in states ability to provide the protection. The return of violence in many areas of colombia means that the spite the accord, real peace in the country remains elusive. Anderson m.

They say will have a negative impact on their livelihoods. Officials built a dam on a show to be a lake last year, and many who live in the area say its created hold for the time a challenge. As this i think that this may appear to be a small protest in a remote village, but its impact could have far reaching consequences for farmers land rights across bangladesh.

Now i cant Pay School Fees for my children and we cant feed ourselves because we are not able to cultivate in this land anymore due to the dam. We beg you all, please dont take our land. We will never give up our land. In 2010, the government declared this area and national park, a decision thats been challenged in cote. A dam was then built last year to create a lake and local people say, thats when their lives changed.

Its now threatening the livelihood of thousands of farmers. Religious said, the dam has also damaged Water Supplies in but not the pollution from the nearby coal. Mine flows through this leg. But since this is natural, free flowing water, the pollution generally dont stay here or affect us because of this dam. The water now gets stagnant and polluted and there is hardly any fish or earlier this year. Rain and floods damage the dam. The government say its an essential resource and plans to repair it. And the protesters actions are misguided. Theres been a lot what investments by the government in developing this area like improving the waterways, building across town and tourism facilities and what is purely state owned land. In the last 2 years, the villages failed to show us any legal Land Ownership documents.
