Welcome to the program if your military says the country has entered into a shame for war it did not anticipate in a region that is Prime Minister ahmed on friday said the military operation has limited objectives. Possible prolonged war in the country earlier this week obvious said he had ordered the military into to agree a north invasion that once dominated ethiopian politics he claimed it was in response to one alleged attack on the federal military combat by its ruling party that the group Peoples Liberation front of the un has expressed deep concern by the fighting and appealed for calm. A show of strength by 2 grice special forces. These soldiers are loyal to the t. P. I. Left party which governs the checkride region the National Government accuses them of attacking an Ethiopian Army base in micheli the regions capital promising the military response to grice leader denies this calling it an excuse to attack. Another look in the regions around there is a massing of military forces consequently i have announced a News Conference that they are surrounding us with their forces i stated that they have decided to go to war and we should all prepared to foil it this is a proclamation. Ever since to gripe how the region and the election in september tensions have escalated with added sabbath the Ethiopian Government did not want the election to go ahead because at the coronavirus the t. P. I. Last used to be the dominant party anything its off to Prime Minister abi ahmed came to power in 2018 it split from the governing coalition clashes have been reported on 2 gries border with the abhorrent region eyewitnesses have total Ethiopian Military planes have also been circling above mackellar. The ritual for the country has entered into a war that he did not want this war is a shameful war does not have a point the people of to gras and its youth and its Security Forces should not stifle this pointless war ethiopia is that a country which fearing a civil war the un has called pretty escalation of tensions the bigger concern is of a wider regional conflicts. For more on the developments in ethiopia i am now joined by some all guitar true journalist based in. Thanks for your time now abi has vowed more military attacks on the region against International Calls for calm easy prepared to enter into a full blown war there. When the Regional Government has called for the same kind of action against the government of so its 22. 00 and we need it because theyre meeting the same kinds of accusations. But the Prime Minister seems to be a determined in terms of. Fulfilling was he wants to do and from what we see in us you know it and it influences no longer in service i mean suspended so we dont know but it seems like he is believed repaired to go on to great region and the leadership. So yes what the whats difficult to understand that degree states used to be a part of government so how are both sides now at war. You know the president of the great rigid run for a Prime Minister. Against alqaeda and he lost and since then the relationship has gone down the aisle to understand the p. P. L. It was in government for the last 27 years before i mean came to power so even people that were present at the 2 great region in parliament they did resign many of them and how they left for today and what some of the most influential people we all grew up looking out you know see us minister some bull in to guard so its been about in for the accusations you know you dont beat wakes up one night and accuses the other side and then the say thank you so its its been about in force for the last 3 years and i mean everybody understood something was about to happen for the last few years because id be in and the leadership and took i would a meeting they shot at the stations against each other and they were talking to each other yeah shit yeah now now this Prime Minister. Go into war thats not sound like the same man who lost the i won the Nobel Peace Prize what has changed. You know. For people there are 2 sorts people who just try and be to the end. Trying for the last few years trying to bring peace not just in ethiopia but even in south sudan with different functions and even bringing peace in eritrea. Not going to be sparse and even in somalia and kenya and everywhere i mean when the when there was a dispute between kenya and somalia it was are. We to negotiate or do the peaceful coexistence at d. C. Today but the people that criticize are you already see that he grew up in a military lifestyle for a long long time he was a mean feat she joined the Ethiopian Army when he was a teenager so it was people say that people you know criticize him today he keeps saying that he really does not believe in peace he really believes that war is the only option to come to a conclusion or to come to fulfill the mission of every government now that there are 2 sects all kinds of sides ok and now he has been intervening in add up people situations trying to bring about peace but who could mediate in this particular crisis briefly. I mean. You know the capital city of the continent its where the african union. For the longest time for more than half a century so you can union. Alongside with the ambition of ethiopia in terms of Development Aid and so on you can see it. I mean biden becomes the next president and the United States thats also an election i mean the government. You know they pointed. To be having disagreements with Trump Administration since they almost indorse egypt to potentially. Their biggest Infrastructure Projects in the country which is their innocence down. There is a role for them to play better i mean its a work in progress but internet forums are always been down so its hard to get you know in person.

S. Was not practicing what it preaches to africa and could learn a lot from the african continent on that note good bye and have a great weekend. Why are people forced to hide in trucks. There are many reasons. There are many answers. And there are many stories. Make up your. W. Made for mines. Away from all those loud headlines out there the very quiet end of an era is happening here in berlin as the citys iconic take of the airport closes for good yes it is ugly so why are people so sad to see this cold war remnant go well tell you in a moment and paintings by children who were torn from their aboriginal families artworks by australias stolen generation. But 1st coronavirus cases are growing up but many artists and performers are doing their best not to throw in the towel this years jazz fest berlin is a perfect example a fully digital festival with performances not just an berlin but new york as well lets have a listen. To. Improvise a show that is the essence of jazz but particularly important at the she is jazz fest in. Which a kid. The 57th edition of inside and green venue concerts are being played and streamed live but there are no audiences no applause the performances take place with strict hygiene regulations in force is great to see what is happening is an amazing we really cant believe how theyve done it in a way that makes sense like you say the jazz festival will manage to experiment and improvise their way out of such an incredibly unusual maybe. The 1st 4 organizers way to various margins now a global audience can take part in conversations with musicians concerts and multimedia jazz projects.

Artist moore mother has summed up her feelings about the mood in america in the poem pandemic long sing me i knew lullaby. The shifting pictures instagram graveyard of memory. At least we can still make news. Wow you may have heard of berlins fancy new airport the one that took 9 extra years and billions of extra euros to open well plenty of berliners dont even want it why because they love the citys other airport to go and its main terminal where passengers only take a few steps from curbside to check in to boarding take isnt just a fish and its also an icon of the cold war era but this weekend its finally set to close for good airports architects want to say goodbye. Might hard for them here con and folks in mark have come to say goodbye to their airport berlin table before it closes down for good they wanted to take a walk down memory lane. Puzzle piece. They would use a full budget to stick to because of their luggage carts suitcases wheels came later the carts were allowed so we scrapped the original floorboards and replace them but the cheapest material is a miss. They designed every single detail in this terminal from the buildings shape to the interior styling and even the indoor and outdoor signs take all airport wasnt just a run of the mill project for these famous german architects it was their 1st Big Commission after getting their College Degrees in 1966 their design won the competition for the new airport in the divided city of berlin at that point in time teagle was just an airfield it was originally a takeoff and landing runway used for air lift planes bringing goods to the landlocked city of west berlin after the 2nd world war then it was repurposed in 1974 the new airport opened a verified over 2000 people. Entrance ticket was a pair of glasses like the us a little late so the Opening Ceremony took place. That the west berlin mayor trial should. Call should he or she got these glasses as a key table became the prototype of the short distance airport optimizing the space between arrival and departure gates it was popular with berliners and tourists the airport was the point of arrival for prominent guests it was the stage where emotional moments took place like the return of the german soccer world champions in 2014 but the airport became out of touch with modern needs it was Old Fashioned and too small for a booming capital city after german reunification it was necessary to build a new airport and close down taking. Yes this is up now its time to say goodbye not without a touch of melancholy because this building documents a time when our job was all about peoples needs time when customer was king. To do. My colleague Melissa Holroyd here for more melissa this strikes me as a kind of weird moment for this city and this is this moment thats decades in the making when one airport closes another one opens hardly anyones flying theres very little fanfare yet the be the new the really opened with the wind the big boss said this was nothing to celebrate after this years long delay the engineer said that they were a shined so it just seems like Somebody Just opened the door one way one day where was day a week ago and just let people know the main architect of the new airport is actually the same one we just saw of the old airport to. My house from dark on one of his big things that he hates airport shopping yeah yeah thats was that was one of the great things about the intake though is that it wasnt about shopping it wasnt about entering into this huge mold filled with juicy free goods it wasnt about restaurants it wasnt about any of that stuff it was about flying flying flying and one of the extraordinary things that you mentioned early on was the short distance between getting dropped off in a taxi and actually getting into the plane it really was just a few may to get off that you just where the plane is it was just just behind the woman behind you know just behind the counter with who was sitting was where the plane was and actually my understanding of it here is that he didnt want shopping in the new airport he made a plan with very little shopping and they tried to cram it in at the last minute and that led to all these other problems. That led to the delays that we saw a lot of people do have a lot of affection for take airport because backs of the cold war yeah because because whisper lynn was an island inside east germany and to avoid these transit roads the only way to avoid these transit rides was to fly in and out of the airport so a lot of these west berlin is really hold that close to their hearts i mean those also i mean it was also very early in wasnt it was very gritty and it was really right yeah it wasnt beautiful to look at from the ground i dont think but i think once you go into the plug into a plane and you were flying in or you were flying out it really was impressive you got to see all these lovely the use of these forms i wasnt sure if it was sort of or it was an acquired taste but one that i think we all came to appreciate after we landed there a few different times anything planned for the farewell not that much planned for the failed well the Building Fire Department going to say goodbye with the ceremonial water oche moment there are people sort of still watching appliances watching planes going in and out and theres not really that much plans of space is going to be used as an open quarter for of the 5000 people 5000 departments and space for holding 10000 or a pool so certainly got big plans and so we can you know we can certainly use those apartments but its a very quiet goodbye to a place with a lot of history melissa thanks for coming on the show.

This is news of live from berlin with joe biden inches closer to the white house the democratic candidate meets President Donald Trump in a handful of battleground states which are still undeclared according to Associated Press figures being used by a win in pennsylvania or nevada would put biden in the oval office meanwhile the president pedals conspiracy theories as the vote count turns against trump voices a chain of baseless claims insisting he won and hes being robbed of. A michael welcome to the program joe biden is edging closer to the white house as the final votes are still being counted 3 days after the u. S. Election and the latest development the key state of georgia where biden has a narrow lead says it expects a recount biden earlier over took trump in pennsylvania. Electoral College Votes remain unchanged with joe biden 264 and donald trump on 214 according to the a. P. News agency bitin leads by more than 12000 votes in pennsylvania where around 98 percent of votes have now been counted its worth 20 electoral College Votes and is the biggest prize yet to be decided in georgia where 16 electoral votes are up for grabs biden has pulled ahead of trump with most ballots now counted biden has a lead of just over 1500. 00 votes but with such a slim margin a recount is now expected its also tightening in North Carolina where donald trump has a one point lead with 94 percent of votes counted there are 15 electoral votes up for grabs there and a look now at nevada where the former Vice President has increased his lead 220000 votes with 86 percent of the vote counted the state carries the 6 votes he needs to win so with votes still being tallied Donald Trumps path to victory is looking increasingly difficult states in red or blue have been called by a. P. For trump or biden states in lighter blue or pink or leaning toward biden or trump respectively any one state will give biden the win trump needs a combination of states to win. Now following the tight race for pennsylvanias 20 like tour of the woods is g. W. Stephan simons stuff on the last time we spoke anticipation and anxiety was among the gathering growing i should say among the gathering crowds outside the Convention Center there in philadelphia i magine theres an increasing sense of an imminent bitin when. I dont think everybody here realizes how potentially explosive biden win is however were at about 9000 not something vote for biden now in the lead and whats happening here is said you have the numbers all support us i think you see on both sides of you so you know from supporters right here a little bit kates in with the Police Cordon them all further more truly separate those 2 groups more planks now more posters but theyre probably through around out by the crowd and they made a point just a few minutes ago thing this is not cold by even the camera this is prodemocracy roll down the road all the most when they see themselves over there if the from some trumped the support of one could invest the day any miss any. Poll. Vote for anything whether they want to take them through it as well. Said almost 50 pounds now not the point i want to make you know sort of this im at my government next turn around but you know sentiment and the suits for somebody can villian police all over the place it ends with a sponsor of the conversation but theyre all over here so my point here is that this is all funding james finale and im not the imus for anything but everybody all told where that this has come. Or maybe the country or concern to. Come up healthier go in with fresh air like pearl boat personal pride that this could get over to think everybody is aware that. You know stuff and people at home watching this far where the fact that the votes that are currently being counted where the malin votes which were predominantly democratic vote since most democrats were planning on voting via the mail system and the also where the fact that a lot of the counties that are being counted right now in pennsylvania a pro biden counties these days kind of discussion conversation going on where you are people aware of that. People are aware that of course those holidays are proceeding and of old calendar rounds of golf ball on court about for a bell theology and you have. To count the ballots for mail day and they are counted out this day in tech summit 3 photo from one of them a lot of the south side not really at this concert or and just saying anything that. Drowned the drum crowd and that storm crawled through every opportunity for yelled back at the dance party over there forgotten where we all got level. Step and simon in philadelphia for us thank you so much stephanie. Now with joe biden urging patience as the last votes are counted President Trump is again gone on the attack in his 1st appearance since Election Night trump made a series of unsubstantiated claims that hes being robbed of a 2nd term state Election Officials insist theres no evidence of any wrongdoing 2 days after the polls closed President Donald Trump delivered his latest broadside against the electoral system. If you count the legal votes i easily win if you count the illegal votes they can try to steal. The election from us if you count the votes that came in late were looking at them very strongly but a lot of votes came in. There is no evidence of voting irregularities in the us because of the coronavirus pandemic many votes were delivered by mail believing that conked meal and ballots are steadily increasing the leader of democratic candidate joe biden. Is seeking to stop the vote count republicans have launched lawsuits in several states once the legal battle to reach the u. S. Supreme court which leaned heavily to the right after he failed 3 of the seats with conservative justices. We think is going to be a lot of litigation as we have so much evidence so much proof and its going to end up perhaps at the highest court in the land the president left the podium to a barrage of questions from reporters. Why are you not people about that remark and found a lot of the known. On the streets Trump Supporters echoed his baseless claims that everything is generally fairly and truthfully has already ruined my day already but theyre just calling it so they try to steal it more and more for a file that biden took to the stage with a very different message so we have no doubt that when the countess tradition or harrison i will be declared the winners so i ask everyone to stay calm all the people stay calm the process is work the count is being completed and you will know very soon so thank you all for your patience but forgot to count the votes. Bidens back because tunde out in numbers in philadelphia where votes are still being counted because the american democracy is a wreck and we have an administration who is stated. Both planes that they are going to make no to cure or tell them that alexis and training feel me let him bring what i believe to be the correct way to. Philadelphia ballots could tip the balance in pennsylvania and deliver the presidency to biden. Its made it a target of extremists please stop the group of armed prove trump conspiracy theorists suspected of planning an attack on the counting center it seems no matter the vandyck to the voters the divisions in the country will persist long after the counting is done. Im joined by michael yaki in San Francisco hes on the u. S. Commission on civil rights and acts as an advisor to senior government officials Corporate Executives and Community Leaders michael 1st of all i hope i got your last name pronounced correctly. How dangerous are the statements that we have heard from President Trump since Election Night. Well 1st michael good morgan San Francisco. It is the the statements are extremely dangerous this is their unfound and that all theyre doing is stoking paranoia and fear amongst his right wing among for right wing supporters of supporters who have shown very little hesitation in the past use force and armed violence to achieve their ends. What consequences could his words have for america and essentially the sort of collective feeling that americans have about its democracy and the reason. That the hallmark of american democracy for over 200 years has been that we have Peaceful Elections and a peaceful transition of power its if we do not remove people at the point of a gun at a riot theyre not lynched theyre not theyre not carried out or not executed it is part of who we are and part of our ethos as a constitutional democracy by now and hearing to them. By using rhetoric that super charges the idea that this election was not legitimate and to. The presidency. Joe biden when he was declared the winner which i think will be in very short order given the results and pennsylvania right now. He is doing the violent damage to the fabric of our country into the fabric of our nation and our constitution so at some point and we are all hoping that his advisors Senior Republicans will go to much as much as many of them went to. Richard nixon back in 1904 to tell him that his time was over and to tell. The president these legal challenges have no value theyre just causing unrest theyre fomenting violence and its time to move on michael all across the world people are watching this election and looking into figurative crystal balls if you will not only did try to figure out whats actually going to happen in terms of the vote count here but also given the statements the president has made to try to comes to some sense about how hes going to react im curious as i talk to you how far do you think trump will go. Well every time i try and think that maybe he will take the rational road he always continues to disappoint me when you went to the white house podium last yesterday afternoon i thought that maybe he would give a patient speech but no he Just Launched into the fact that he had won the election has been stolen from him and thats you know i would hope i keep on hoping but i suppose that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result i try not to think of myself as insane but the fact is that this is a president who continues to use anything that he can he is a wounded animal at this and wouldnt animals are very very dangerous and its going to take the American People its going to take it. And take his family who by the way or are the ones really still. The rage out there to say at some point this election must be over al gore could have continued litigating his case in 2000 and gets against george bush but he chose to drop the case for the good of the nation Richard Nixon could have continued in office while his impeachment was going on but he left for the good of the nation at some point dont have to relive. That the office of presidency and the United States is bigger than he is i know its hard for him to think that but it is michael yaquis really appreciate your insights and your time and good luck there in the states thank you. Lets take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world twitter has deleted an account linked to former white house chief strategist steve benen after he published a podcast promoting violence ban and said that if trump is reelected he should arrange for the beheading of key federal officials it comes amid an increase in violent rhetoric from prominent Trump Supporters. Police in germany say they have raided a number of homes in connection with mondays attack in the austrian capital vienna the 20 year old gunman was shot dead by police after killing 4 people religious leaders have held a Memorial Ceremony for the victims.

We can make a difference by choosing reforestation over deforestation recycling for disposable Smart Solutions overstating said in our case is truly unique and we know that the uniqueness is what allows us to live and survive global ideas the environmental suits to global 3000 long t.

Im sure that mr by changed attitude very wrenching quite clearly that he would stick to you more if you have a system that you could give a more emphasis to the w t o. Brain conflicts through the base system. Of cause these possibilities to say this is our partnership but its also kyoto because of our you know its a different situation in some areas of competition and regarding different interests that there would be no possibility to have a comprehensive trade agreement likely to fight in the teton the decisions lets take a brief look at what else is going on in the Business World away from the u. S. Election jobs numbers show that u. S. Employers added 638000 jobs in october to keeping a job growth on pics but not enough so far to regain most of the jobs that went during the pandemic when 22000000 people lost their jobs this brings the Unemployment Rate to 6. 9 percent or up job or. Official. The u. S. Federal reserve has pledged to use its full range of tools to shore up the economy fed chair Jerome Powell described the outlook of the u. S. Economy as extraordinarily uncertain he said more stimulus might be needed in the months ahead to counter a rise in coronavirus cases. General motors is recovering from the pandemic hit with a rebound in demand for it chevrolet and cadillac vehicles the detroit auto maker reported a 72 percent jump in earnings for the 3rd quarter fueling a strong rise in g. M. Stock price. Turning now to one of the sectors that most affected by the pandemic aviation as you would expect its not Just Airlines that have been suffering airports too are facing a crisis lets take Frankfurt Airport one of europes major hubs 54000000 passengers move through its terminals and the 1st 9 months of last year this year it was just a 3rd of that number air cargo is another source of revenue for airports it hasnt actually fallen very dramatically and frankfurt that could be because it has dedicated Cargo Handling facilities munich though has seen a much steeper drop in cargo one likely reason the bulk of cargo shipments to the airport and 29000 came on passenger planes and of course its not just europe that suffering airports around the world were expecting to see revenue losses of between 55 and 64 percent in 2020 thats according to Airport Council international which tracks airport economics. Now we asked sebastian cos hes the senior Vice President at the International Air transport association what government need to do to support the sector there are those 2 elements one is to focus on reopening markets the Business Model of airlines and of the whole airline eco system is not to spend time asking governments or shareholders for money thats not the business we are in we are in the business of carrying people and goods from point a to point b. So the 1st focus should be on what we are advocating for i say yet that is on introducing test think measures to stop quarantines that will allow the industry to start their recovery but the 2nd is of course provided the Current Situation and provided that airlines have just no possibility of running a business by the way they are all the businesses which are in a very similar situation to ours then we will continue asking governments for Financial Support and to be very fair this Financial Support was provided already at the large scale because its more than 160000000000. 00 throughout 2020 that were already provided in different forms in in the reliefs and injections but how full of it is that so its also something to point out that airlines will will survive this crisis but one with much more that so you know we are not here to. To have a business of asking for monies of our top priority is really really to start flying in the predictable way the coronavirus cast that shadow over every aspect of life everywhere for 7 long months venezuelans have been banned from the beach the government closed them as a protective measure as part of its National Lockdown but the ban was lifted recently and sun Hungry Venezuelans have been returning to soak up some sun sand and salty air. Douglas in reality has been waiting for this moment since march. Hes back in business with his beach chairs. During the lock down he managed to squeak by with some side jobs but only just barely.
