Farmers vent their frustration towards the governments new agricultural legislation. World Health Organization says deaths from malaria in subsaharan, africa are expected to exceed covert 19 and support the governing body of war. The motor sport has launched an investigation into how horrific crash at the bank. The frenchman made the great escape. His car burst into flames. On the opening lets begin in ethiopia, where the Prime Minister is speaking in parliament about the 3 week long conflict in the region, but insists the army will not destroy the regional capital mccalla after having captured it on the weekend. Thats as to grow in forces, say theyre still fighting federal soldiers near hundreds have been killed, thousands forced to flee to neighboring. So than that, another person to get the most important, every target has been signed and approved. The house can see that every missile launched is backed by a signature of authority. 99 percent of them hit their targets and 99 percent of them didnt have collateral. No countrys army can show this kind of performance. Our army is disciplined and victorious. They said you will destroy mckelway and so on. May kill is ours. It was built with our own resources. We are not going to destroy it, not even a Single Person was affected by the operation. Lets go live now to malcolm webb. He joins us from nairobi to the Prime Minister, declaring that federal forces havent killed a single civilian malcolm thats why the Government Forces hadnt killed any civilians in its operation. This contradicts claims made by the t. V. L. F. Leadership who say that civilians were killed or even targeted in airstrikes, something that the government has denied. We also recently had reports from the red cross who say in the regional capital of macquarie, that 80 percent of the people in the hospitals have trauma injuries or the say how they got those injuries. They say theres also a shortage of serious shortage of medical supplies and of body bags. Also speaking in parliament, Prime Minister talked about some of the causes of the conflict. He talked about the left and how it dominated eritreas Government Military reforms when he took over from them 2 years ago, has complained that they hated these reforms implying that it was their resistance to these reforms that caused this conflict to start in the 1st place. The t. P. A. Left, on the other hand, say that they were on fairly targeted in these reforms. Thats how these 2 sides started fighting just over 3 weeks ago. And the tea p. L. F. Leader, malcolm is claiming hes still fighting on near mcalary. Is there any evidence of that . Its very difficult to verify claims from either side because there is no access in the region for the press. Humanitarian organizations have also complained about the lack of access, but as you said, t. V. Left leadership say that they are fighting, they say that on sunday evening they shot down an Ethiopian Military plane. They showed a pilot on to grain t. V. The government side, they govern. The Prime Minister, spoke to a person has refuted these claims. And she said that described them as delusional. And said that they are delusions from a criminal clique that disintegrating so its hard to know exactly whats going on. But we do have that red cross report from a lot of people with injuries and its hospitals. It certainly does suggest that people have been hurt. And i thank so much malcolm where bear now a day gin season, local volunteers are helping tens of thousands of ethiopian refugees in eastern sudan, regain a sense of normality in makeshift camps. Im involved has this report from one of the camps. There was no blackboard or chalk or notebooks, but there was a sparkle of hope in the eyes of these young each open refugees trying to start a new life. Amid the toughest of conditions, the makeshift school at the camp is sponsored by the norwegian refugees council. One of the things were trying to do is to help give them a sense of normalcy, but a sense of stability. By setting up some temporary learning, splay says they have some classes every day, something to do, but also something to learn from in this really chaotic period of their life. So far we set up 10 classes, 2 shifts a day. We hope that that is about a 100 children that we can help in the 1st instance. Theres probably going to be a few 1000 children already. Theres an estimated 3000 children in this camp. Many of them had their education disrupted when fighting broke out between the job in federal army and the green Peoples Liberation front. A few weeks ago, they were forced to flee with their families, relief agencies speak of a number of unaccompanied children in need of special care. Some are showing signs of trauma. Others are barely coping with the sudden change in their lives. Some have had it even worse, the letter sultan hasnt been able to find any trace of his wife and 2 young daughters. Since the 1st raids on the green town of ramallah by the Sudanese Border a few weeks ago, a little im a little thin and in my leave, i just couldnt find them. They could be dead or alive, but theres no idea what happened to them. I was not home when the attack took place, people fled in every direction. Could my family is gone. Were still at the camp and yes, suddenly looks like an old place or some of the old its europeans here. Its history repeating itself. Because back in the night, in eightys, this building served as a school for some of them are child refugees. In the 1980 s. Refugees came here, fleeing a famine that coincided with and resulted from years of fighting between 2 great rebels and the Central Government of former communist dictator, mengistu, haile mariam. The animosity that conflict had created still lingers. Today here in the camp. Greens are teaching their children in english, not america, which is the main official language of the federal republic of each opiate. A sign of the mum of the task ahead for Prime Minister ahmed in his effort to restore national unity. Irans Top Nuclear Scientist is being buried following his assassination on friday. A large Funeral Service has been held in the capital tehran. In fact, a bizarre day, irans leaders are blaming israel for the killing and are vowing to retaliate. How you got to know we are all gathered here next to one another before the body of our beloved martyr and valid to him that we will be more cohesive, more result, and our determination to continue down your path will be stronger. We will continue down the path of advancement of this nation with greater speed and strength. A head of irans Top National Security body says there have been several assassination attempts on factories are. There is life over the past 20 years and security around him had been bolstered and the own Intelligence Service have the information that he was a target and even knew that on the same spot he was killed. An attempt was going to be made against him. His protection was intensified, however, this time any utilized completely new professional and sophisticated method, and unfortunately succeeded after 20 years and reached its goal. Joins us now live from tehran. So we heard harvey there talking about a sophisticated method. What exactly is the official narrative of how fathers are there was killed . Well, that doesnt seem to be an official narrative at the moment. I know who is the secretary of the supreme National Security council and he said it was sophisticated. He said that there werent any assailant. Thats slightly confusing because after the incident, there were eyewitnesses on state t. V. Saying that they heard explosion and gunfire, but also said that they saw assailants in that exchange. But what were hearing now is that there were no assailants, but this was a sophisticated operation, fars news agency, which is linked to the revolutionary guard. Now what they have said is that there was a remotely controlled machine gun inside that innocent pickup truck that opened fire and then that truck we were up. But yet were still waiting for the intelligence ministers report the investigation is still ongoing. So its still not clear, yes, we are hearing from these high Security Officials that there were no assailants. And this was a sophisticated operation. They also blaming the m. K. Or which is the majority in their health, which is considered a terrorist organization here. But they also blaming israel on mussarat, so were still waiting on the finer details, but there has been some questions inside the country. How did this happen . And how was it allowed to happen if security was bolstered than how was it . How was it that he was assassinated and the line currently is that we didnt expect this operation to be so sophisticated, nor in thanks so much as a bag that speak now to mohammad marandi. Hes a professor of orientalism and chair of the American Studies Department at the university of tehran, joins us now by skype from there. Good to have you with us. So 1st of all. Why is the official narrative not very clear at this point about how fathers are there was assassinated . Its difficult to say there may be a host of Different Reasons for this are that it is just speculation by the media to get more clicks. Part of it may be intentional by the government, but what is important is that this murder was carried out this assassination. This act of terror was carried out. We are an American Green line. We can tell from trumps tweet or reach weeds, as well as the information provided by american officials to the york times that the United States supported and the Israeli Regime carried it out. And this would fit with what we had a decade ago when under obama, the United States helped Israeli Regime murder 4 other scientists in separate terrorist attacks. Well, that this problem of murdering iranian scientists has been going on, as you mentioned, for a number of years. What options does what effective options does iran really have to respond to this . Or the iranians will have to retaliate, because that is the only way to meaningfully deter the Israeli Regime from repeating such an operation such terror attacks. But iran will also decrease significantly its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency and also its commitments to the nuclear deal. So that both the americans and the Israeli Regime are clannish, and the europeans as well. Because so far the europeans have not used the word, the condemnation for this attack. And it is quite striking because when they alleged that the russians tried to kill a double agent, a russian double agent, and in england without providing real evidence and a person never die, 153, Russian Diplomats were expelled from western european and north american countries. Yet when iranians are murdered, there is no word about condemnation that alone any particular are you going to want or days ago . Just to correct for our viewers. The European Union on saturday condemn the killing of a top or a Nuclear Scientist as a criminal act. But perhaps who we can move the discussion on to the question of what is that . Where does this sit with the possibility of an improvement in relations under a biden administration, if at the same time, in the final, it seems twilight hours of the trumpet ministration, where were seeing this kind of situation developing well 1st, let me correct what you just said the europeans, as i said, very carefully, did not use the word condemnation, and that is very significant for iran, and of course there will be no acts carried out by the europeans. So just saying that its a criminal act is not saying much, we expect that condemnation, but iran doesnt really expect much from biden biden himself, of course, has said before that there wont be much change when he comes to power. And the, perhaps the biggest change will, that will be that there will be more women in his administration will, who will be carrying out acts of war and the sanctions. The iranians will give them the opportunity to return to u. S. Commitments that will be up to him. He has the ability to do so through president ial decorations, and that is his responsibility. But that will have nothing to do with irans retaliation to this murder and assassination. Iran is the only country at the moment that is partially fulfilling its obligations in the nuclear deal. Western countries are not abiding by any of their commitments of iran stops, with its current commitments. It is not doing anything wrong. And on the other hand, theres raneys by assassinating and carrying out acts of terror have to be punished in order for this not to be repeated in the future. Some of biden wants to bring about change. The iranians are waiting to see what it does, but iran will not allow murder to take place in this country without the perpetrators being punished or imam. And theyve got to get your thoughts on that. Thank you. And plenty more still ahead on the news hour, including tough life lessons iraqi students back in the classroom. Catching up on Law School Work isnt the only challenge. Meeting in the middle brazilian voters choose centrist candidates over those, representing its greens. Joe biden has named an all woman team for the Incoming White House communications office. The appointees include a for Obama Administration spokeswoman jen psaki, who will be press secretary by the Community Campaign Communications Director kate bedingfield, will have the same role in the white house. And the u. S. President elect has franks it is for the day before is jews receive his 1st president ial briefing of the 8 year old had an x. Ray and c. T. Scan which confirmed the injury earlier. Bidens victory in the state of wisconsin was confirmed after a recount of the 2 biggest counties found no evidence of fraud. Mike hanna has the latest from washington d. C. Its now been confirmed that president elect biden actually fractured his ankle while playing in his garden with his 2 dogs, major, and champion. His position says that hell be in a boot for a number of weeks. So joe biden limping along, but is administration is not, its going at pace with more appointments being announced in the course of the day, joe biden has announced his communications staff, the actual operate in the white house. And thats headed by jennifer psaki, a highly respected communications professional. She worked as the White House Communications director in the Obama Administration. She will head a team of 6 within the communications department, all of whom are women for the 1st time in u. S. History. The Communications Team will be staffed entirely by women, jen psaki, putting out a tweet, pointing out too that all 6 have Young Children, so it will be a very different white house and a biden. It would appear certainly from a Communications Point of view. Bidens, receiving the personal daily brief. This is the intelligence information given to the president supposedly every day. Although many reports indicate that President Trump has not been receiving the Daily Briefing in recent days, President Trump himself continues to insist that there was fraud in the election. Hes repeated these allegations without providing any form of evidence whatsoever. Indian farmers, blocking roads in a protest against new laws are refusing to move to a government designated venue. Thousands have been camping on major highways near the capital, new delhi, the farmers say theyre open to talks with the government as long as there are no preconditions. They say the new laws will hurt crop prices and their livelihoods. Theres a path for them, has more from new delhi, thousands of farmers remain camped out on key border crossings, heading into the indian capital at the moment there and 3 border crossings. And well heard from farmers unions who are saying that they are planning on blocking by border crossings. They have rejected the offer of the home minister for immediate talks because theyve refused to go to those grounds on the outskirts of the capital. They are planning to cause as much disruption as possible to traffic by blocking highways until the government either repealed or offers to talk to them with no conditions. And we are expecting more farmers to join those who have already created temporary settlements on the highways. They have converted hundreds of their vehicles into temporary homes that theyre staying in. And while most of the farmers so far have been from the states of punjab and haryana, were seeing more and more farmers coming from the states of and that occurred. And were expecting celebrations today and that is because most of the farmers so far from the state of punjab and they are predominantly from the sick religion and today is the birthday of the founder of the sick religion. Good in our nic. We had meetings last night between the president of the countrys ruling party, along with the defense minister, the home minister and the agriculture minister too. And that gives you an idea of just how serious a challenge these protests are to the government, or the biggest protests that we have seen this year. And we are waiting to hear what if anything will come out of those meetings. Chinas Foreign Ministry has rejected calls from the australian Prime Minister to apologize for an inflammatory tweet over war crimes allegations. The tweet depicts an australian soldier causing the throat of a civilian in afghanistan. It follows a recent report into the conduct of Australian Special says soldiers. The Australian Military has confirmed its dismissing more than a dozen soldiers accused of killing 39. 00. Armand afghan, civilians and prisoners. Katrina, you joins us now live from beijing.

Chinese time about 10 am in the morning when her colleague jolly jen tweeted an image by a self described chinese patriotic citizen. That image depicted in a stray and Soldier Holding a knife to an afghan baby, and it was very inflammatory image and a strangely as Prime Minister Scott Morrison responded promptly in a video message, and he described the tweet as repugnant and outrageous. He said that the chinese Foreign Ministry should be ashamed of itself and he demanded an apology saying that this image was not only an insult to the Australian Military but to the astronomy and people at large. But of quattrone yang. When asked about this today, didnt seem to take that complaint seriously at all. Instead, she pointed the finger back right back at the australian people, specifically the actions of the australian soldiers in afghanistan. Lets have a listen to what she had to say. Even i found our passion. I feel ashamed. You mentioned the Prime Minister Scott Morrison says china should feel ashamed. Is it not these jillion governments decision to send troops to afghanistan . Since the soldiers have committed such atrocious crimes . Shouldnt they still, in government feel ashamed for their soldiers killing innocent civilians in afghanistan . Katrina trade has already taken a hit. What might beijing target next . Well, that remains to be seen. Certainly the relationship between australia and china seems to have hit industry extraordinary new lower and it, its been that way for months, arguably few years. But really it took a nosedive when, earlier this year the Australian Government had a quote called for independent inquiry into the origin of the covered 19 virus. And since then weve had very heavy tariffs imposed on a strictly in imports of wine, barley, and beef to china. This German Government has said that these duties are devastating to australian producers, and they say that these are unjustified tower of these are politically motivated. And theyre considering taking china to the World Trade Organization or of a these new tariffs. Now to add insult to injury, chinese officials are reportedly not answering calls or requests for meetings from their a strictly in counterpart saying that its australias fault that the relationship has sunk to this new lauren and in fact, the Chinese Embassy in canberra. Earlier this month released a list of 14 grievances against the astronomy and government, including australia is decision to block chinese tech giant qual ways involvement in 5 g. Networks and also interference in regarding taiwan and hong kong issues which beijing considers internal affairs. But it doesnt seem like this is going to improve anytime soon, because as a response to that list, the Australian Government simply said that it wasnt going to change any of its policy positions. All right, thanks so much. Katrina new there to brazil.

The team win votes, another won the election, promising to deliver the country from corruption and communism. If you dont buy their sick, he dies. The election strengthened centrist politicians in the big cities. They are in a better position to unite and defeat the conservative wave that took over brazil 2 years ago. In the ski and after voting in this school behind me, brazils president both said that he was still going to wait a while before congratulating us president elect joe biden. He said that according to his sources, there was fraud in the american elections where there was a lot of fraud in the us. Nobody could argue against that. If it was sufficient to define the election of one candidate or the other. I dont know abiding until a final decision which may even be taken by the supreme court.

And that means snow is likely for book or risk even moscow, or thereabouts for the next day or so behind it. This cloud is slowly stirring up the active weather that gave that flooding in italy and has moved on is now threatening the same for greece or more likely to be in cyprus, in thunderstorms during monday, or even choose to.

The theo Prime Minister told parliament federal forces havent killed a single civilian during the 3 week long conflict in the region to ground forces. However, dispute this, they also say theyre still fighting federal troops near the regional capital. A Funeral Service for the top iranian Nuclear Scientists is being held in the capital. Tehran was killed on friday. Irans leaders are blaming israel and say they will retaliate. Chinas Foreign Ministry has rejected calls from the australian Prime Minister to apologize for an inflammatory tweet over war crimes allegations. It follows a recent report into misconduct while straightly and special forces soldiers accused of killing, unarmed afghan civilians and prisoners white house senior adviser, jared kush, no will travel to saudi arabia and qatar in the coming days. A trip believed to be aimed at resolving the dispute. Between the neighboring countries, when it comes amid tensions in the region following the killing of a top, iranian Nuclear Scientist is only weeks left in the trumpet, ministration. And his team have helped negotiate deals with sudan behind and the u. A. E. To normalize relations with israel. Joining me from there is magic, a professor of political sociology at the university. Good to have you with us. So do you think a resolution to the gulf crisis might be well, i think its quite on the list to assume that there could be such a good solution. And that american, just actually that lame duck phase of this administration. And we clearly understand that all the parties involved will look at any pressure coming from the u. S. At the moment to any effort going from the u. S. At the moment to be very temporary and very short lived until the 20th of january. And therefore, i would assume that there will be some time delay tactics, especially on the part of saudi arabia and the u. A. E. Waiting out this administration to see how dealing with biden will change the dynamics of mediation for this crisis. What is brave line back in through diplomatic and mediation efforts . Well, i think that there has always been an attempt by the Trump Administration to conduct mediation fill kuwait on a continuous basis. But what changed in the past couple of years was a move towards more of a compartment of the crisis through talking especially about the war in the land and not the other aspects of this conflict. And on the other hand, you can see that it could be that saudi arabia is no more open to discussing with, the u. S. A lot of issues of disagreement in the, especially with the constant bombardment of issues coming in to the region. I also believe that this is a last minute attempt by jump at mr. Shinde. That doesnt really have to work only the only way it could actually come with that ocean is if there was a decision by the way, they would like to end this before that the biden administration. So it doesnt become an issue. And then dealing with that atmosphere should when the time comes. Is there a rapid, even if i say theres been a rapid evolution in the policies of some arab countries that feel they can normalize relations with this robot. Still have, you know, a blockade going on with qatar. I mean, of course its, its quite unimaginable for people to see this. You have countries that are banning even travelers coming in from muslim countries. Why allowing israeli travelers to come in very peacefully, you have arab media that is not only praising the game and with israel praising israel itself and praising the israelis as peacemakers. So i think this will have a long term effect on the arab psyche in how i dont view each other and how the state the latest to the palestinian issue and the special u. A. E. And saudi arabia. And you a specially one to the normalization, to be, a step up on everybody else on the arab world and its relation with the u. S. , but also to give it a security and take advantage of the other countries. And i think theyll be very disappointed by that example of this agreement are good to get your analysis. The top Infectious Disease expert in the u. S. Is warning americans to brace force upon surge of current virus infections during the holiday season. The country reported more than 150000 cases on saturday, as millions of people visited family for thanksgiving. Dr anthony found, she says its strand ahead of people traveling over christmas in the new year. Where we ask people to do is to at least stop for a moment and do what i call the risk benefit assessment of what you want to do in the holiday, which you want to do to the seasons where you bring people in your home. If you have a person who is elderly or who has an underlying condition that makes them more susceptible to the serious consequences of infection. Do you really want to have that gathering or should you say, i know it hurts not to do it because this is such a beautiful traditional season. But you know, hang in there with us because there will be future times when you could do it. Some schools in new york city will restart in person classes next week. Despite surge in corona, virus infections, Elementary Schools and kindergartens will be the 1st to reopen. Bill de blasio says students will undergo random weekly tests. It comes less than 2 weeks after schools were forced to close because of rising infections. South korea is banning end of the year parties and tightening restrictions after a surge in cases there is reading at its fastest rate in nearly 9 months with outbreaks in military facilities, churches and schools. 450. 00 new cases were reported on sunday following 3 consecutive days of more than 500. 00. Officials are closing public sourness cafes and banning Music Lessons involving scene or wind instruments. Public schools in iraq have reopened their doors after being closed since march, because of the corona virus pandemic, where the number of infections has fallen to about 1500 new cases per day. But many students fear theyll struggle to catch up on lost schooling. Similar fault in reports from baghdad. The 1st day of school in times of coronavirus. These 6 year olds waited for more than 2 months to start their education. The Iraqi Government lifted the lockdown in september, but Public Schools only reopened this week. It was supposed to start earlier, but they delayed it because of the large number of infections. Yes, the malls in the shops reopened earlier, but the number of infections was very high. Now the numbers of started to go down. Hopefully, the pandemic will go away soon and we will try to catch up on schooling. The pandemic has spurred a wide and preexisting disparities in education. Private schools catering to wealthy students have largely stuck to the academic calendar. While Public Schools like these stopped teaching for 8 months, budget cuts due to declining oil prices have made matters worse. For sure, theres been a negative effect of the pandemic is delayed school attendance. And in addition to that too, the budget is basically 0. Private schools have Better Health measures than government schools, and also the number of students is smaller financial capabilities. Even though Public Schools are back in session, many parents will continue to play a big part in their childrens education. Students will attend class only one day and have to study at home on the remaining school days. But compared to many other countries, iraq lacks the Telecommunications Infrastructure to support the learning. The Education Ministry says it will launch applications to facilitate online classes. But while many wait for such plans to materialize are met and i am and in their final year of high school say thats of little help. They say there will be online classes, but it wont be successful. The internet is very bad. We cannot study like this, our only choice is to take private tutoring classes. We cant depend on the government schools. They already missed school during much of last year, when classes were canceled due to widespread antigovernment protests. Now the pandemic risks shattering their hopes for university. The good universities wont admit us, then well have to go to private college and millions of iraqi dinars. We cant afford that. Iraqs financial and Health Crises have cast uncertainty over the countrys future, but at least for now, this new generation of students are enjoying a return to a routine that resembles normal life simona faulty nudges era. Look at deaths caused by malaria are expected to exceed those from covert, 19 and Subsaharan Africa this year. The world Health Organization says there could be more than 100000 deaths from malaria in 2020, pandemics destructed treatment and Global Funding is shifted to the krona virus. Most fatalities are among Young Children and the world Health Organization says big strides have been made in combating malaria globally, but its warning coded 19 could seriously impact treatment. In the past 2 decades, w. H. O. Says 7600000 lives have been saved. The mosquito Borne Disease killed nearly 3 quarters of a 1000000 people 2 decades ago. 2019409000 people died from the disease. 94 percent of the worlds cases and deaths are in africa. Nigeria accounts for about a quarter of the warnes cope with 19 restrictions could cause major disruptions in the malarial treatment leading to thousands more deaths. Pregnant women and children face the greatest risk. Joining us in geneva is dog of this new order. He is the lead author of the w. H. O. World, malaria report, good to have you with us. So how exactly is the cove with 19 crisis impacting on complicating the malaria crisis . Thank you, arm it doesnt. In 2 ways it does in potentially disrupting the prevention of the disease through the distribution of the distribution of preventive treatment. A lot of the african countries have responded really effectively to mitigate against those saw in terms of preventing malaria. Were doing a lot better than we had instructed in terms of treating it among those who get the disease. And thats where we still are struggling with understanding the levels of destructions in the millennium doing countries. Because malaria is a few bone disease and disruptions depend on our faces as a treatment to for our families and destroyed any level of disruptions will lead to a suspect. And we expect that given what we have seen from some of the countries that even moderate levels of destruction in africa will lead to trouble additional dance in the region. And were working with countries to respond to these. Were ensuring that its not just convenient and that countries respond with a serious point. We could pandemic also respond to the existing bad and of other major, and it is a such as malaria, for the maintainer of essential help since in the communities. Right. Or if there is a difficult one, what would your advice be the governments there . How can they sort of do the balancing act between covert and malaria . Its important, we start with the terms, walk us through the being protected, and then have that and protect you. And its also important that we, we through the then go disruptions in the supply of communities within the grounds. And we work with communities to restrict the problem is to respond, look underneath it, when at the same time maintaining access to essential services or i thank you so much of the salaam nor protesters umbrello who say security personnel are 5 shant.
