Paris. 5 years off to the movember 2015. A turks, there are still painful memories and deep divisions. Welcome to the program, our top story, this hour. The United Nations saying that its concerned war crimes might have been committed in ethiopias more than 10 gray region where Government Forces are battling local leaders. Its when the fighting could spiral out of control leading to heavy casualties. A 10 day conflict has already killed hundreds of people and sent thousands more. Fleeing across the border to sudan. Prime minister has accused the tigre, a Peoples Liberation front of treason and terrorism, and says the offensive will not end until its removed. Amnesty International Says scores of civilians have been massacred, jaring the fighting, some of them hacked to death. Well, the conflict is threatening to draw in ethiopias neighbors as while, and there are fears that it could destabilize the entire horn of africa. Sudan has offered to mediate the crisis and its had been woken reports now from the sudanese town of officials are preparing for the arrival of up 2200000 refugees. Refugees continue to arrive at the sudanese European Border here in the state of god. I would guess that the authorities went to check out the situation of the refugees and what is happening at the border. They say that more than 11000 have arrived over the past 3 days in to get out of state as well as neighboring states. And they say that more than 20000. 00 are at the border waiting to cross into those 2 states seeking refuge from the conflict that is currently unfolding in that sigrid region. And if you appear now, whats happened upon their arrival is that they are screened for health reasons. But also for security reasons, because some of those who have arrived so far are former combat sent to put down their arms, fleeing the conflict and coming to seek refuge here and go about of the sudanese Authorities Say they are quite concerned about what is unfolding it started in these cover, the Sudanese Government announced that it is shutting down its borders, hearing about it as well as neighboring states and deployed more than 6000. 00 troops. And it comes at a time when the sudanese Prime Minister on the lam dog is the head of that he got, thats the east african bloc. That brings together a group of nations including sudan and ethiopia. He has called the Prime Minister and expressed his readiness to mediate in the conflict. And its a great region expressing concern that is something that the head of the Sovereignty Council also expressed in this b. S. The security and Defense Committee meeting on monday. But the 2 sides, the Prime Minister of sudan, abdullah and the head of the Sovereignty Council both met with the security advisor of these european Prime Minister abu ahmed, who said that this conflict will get, will be sorted in the shortest time possible. And that mediation by sudan, or by a god, is not needed at the moment. Sudan has said that it is worried about the humanitarian situation and its urging all sides for restraint and says that the situation is quite dire and very volatile, and that all sides should try to resolve the conflict. As soon as possible, ahmed, go as near to gray in the Northern City of going to joins us live now and has been no independent confirmation of who is behind these attacks. But the suggestion is that it is fighters that are loyal to, to graze local leaders. Are there fears that there could be more casualties . Yes, indeed, the use of fighting words has had no letup ever since. It started about 9 days ago. Has caused ness of casualties and the civilian casualties being witnessed in some parts of the i think very region. Im not giving any confidence to the people there already. 100000 people who are already internally displaced within the region even before the conflict started. And what must have happened just about a 100 kilometers from where we are right now in a small town called my country. Of course, the government is blaming the tea p. L. F. Fighters for these killings of people, most of it done through beheadings and using all kinds of crude weapons. I missed international has confirmed this must occur in my country and cities that it milledge to confirm that through satellite imagery. The government is accusing the t. P. A. Left. But your own this evening that if you had a leader deputy you want to give him michael. Held released a message where he said that it was not his forces who carried out this massacre and said that there was need for an independent inquiry into the killings in my country. Of course, the government is claiming huge victories in the western part of the region to clearly areas near the border with eritrea. Today they claim that they have taken the town of the ambassador and have their sights on the cup with only a clearly this fighting is still going on with the government in a bit of about kind of the year to the calls from the International Community for dialogue and a quick call to the Prime Minister says this is going to be a very quick operation. But when you look at how heavily on both sides are, looks like its going to be a protracted war. And that is what is causing concern for many people, something that the main fear is that this conflict is going to have ramifications far beyond the borders of ethiopia. Thank you so much, mohamed, it does bring us the latest. Our friend, he says you have gone there, which is near to gray. Well, in other news that were following this hour a 30 year ceasefire and moroccos volatile Western Sahara region could now be in jeopardy. Welker says a Pro Independence group has blocked a main road and the army has moved in to remove them, trying to find his fighters are reporting clashes in the buffer zone and say morocco has ignited war. Countries authorities deny any fighting the policy front wants Western Sahara to be independent. Despite a longstanding ceasefire. Tensions have been rising in the past few weeks now, more than 40 people have been killed and 20 others a missing after typhoon vanco battered the philippines. This is the 3rd typhoon to hit the country in just 3 weeks, leaving extensive flooding and destroying fallons of homs. As reports from madrid as a result. Province, emergency workers, a still trying to rescue trapped residence in the town of riddick is in result we met eric and lisa mcbride were they were able to evacuate their home before it was submerged by flood waters getting an unequivocal way. So that could have done no matter how hard these to get here because really that the get the race and the eggs we had in the storage. At least they have something to eat this week. But Everything Else is been this sure that they know it will take them years to rebuild it. So these see, they hold on to what gives them hope next door. Evangeline lilly oil isnt disappear. All her belongings have been damaged too. And she still has her mortgage to pay. Please help us. We need kluges food. We dont even have Drinking Water vanco barreled across very areas in the zone destroying homes and leaving thousands without power. More than 200000, people were evacuated, but many others had to scramble onto rooftops and wait to be rescued. What were seeing here is just a fraction of a village of more than 2000 homes, but it is quite obvious already just by looking at the day bri, that a big part of the destruction of 5 was caused by logs that were swept down from the mountains is the 3rd day phone to hit the philippines in 3 weeks. The country is still reeling from the impact of typhoon carney nearly 2 weeks ago. At least 20 typhoon strike each year. And earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are common. Scientists say weather disturbances in the philippines have become more extreme over the last few years because of climate change. And thats raising concern among many that they could become victims to an endless cycle of loss and despair. Jamila limburg, an aljazeera result, province. Northern philippines exist a group of Us Government in lection officials are saying that this months president ial election was the most secure in american history. Its the strongest rejection yet of Donald Trumps unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud. A finding that there is no evidence that ballots were compromised or altered, came as china became the latest country now to congratulate joe biden on winning. The president , meanwhile, is refusing to concede victory to the president elect. In a moment, ill talk to Gabriel Elizondo 1st though to the white house and kimberly how can, can really, weve had some well uncharacteristic silence from President Trump, but were going to hear more from him in the next few hours. Thats right. We havent heard from the president since he spoke publicly in front of cameras in the White House Briefing room just over a week ago. But now we are expecting to hear from the president at 21 in the rose garden of the white house. Now officially, this is about operation warp speed. That was the push or the rush to get a vaccine for covert 19. And just to give you a little bit of context earlier in the week when it was announced that the drugmaker fives or had in fact, found a vaccine that was 90 percent affective. Donald trump was enraged that this news had not come out before the u. S. Election, yelling at his own food and drug administration, allegedly that this was sin some way suppressed in order to help his rival, joe biden, accusing them of politicizing the release of the information. If you will, well, were going to be watching carefully to see what the president has to say about operation warp speed in a potential vaccine. But were also were to be watching to see if the president is asked if he takes any questions, or if hell have mentioned anything about a potential concession to joe biden, the democratic president ial nominee, and now many would say the president elect given his projected win by Media Outlets that he will be the next president of the united states. This is coming as we now know that there is another state that has been called for joe biden. Thats the u. S. State of arizona. And in fact, one of the lawsuits by the Trump Campaign to challenge results in that state has been dropped. Now. The Campaign Still insists that it is exploring all legal options. Donald trump has been saying on twitter that he believes that he is the rightful winner out of this election. But again, the evidence mounting to the contrary. So well be watching very carefully for all of those things in the midst of it. I should also tell you why into the starting to heat up with dueling rallies set to take place this weekend, one in support of donald trump one notch. And the latest from the u. S. President also is that he may make appearance an appearance this weekend in front of his supporters. So a lot going on for the president. Given his silence over the past week, well watch carefully in the rose garden. 21 g. M. T. To see what he has to say. Thanks very much. Ill see you then can really get at the white house. Joins us live now from wilmington, delaware. So as were hearing there, the president still refusing to concede. And also this is causing problems for the transition because they have been calls for joe biden to get access to those president ial intelligence briefings. Thats right, there are real ramifications for the fact that President Trump has not conceded. Because normally what happens when a president concedes an election when they lose that immediately triggers the u. S. Government very in various capacities and then the president elect would then immediately start receiving intelligence briefings. In this case, that would be briefings for president elect joe biden. That has not happened primarily because President Trump has refused to concede, and therefore refused to grant the u. S. Government to the intelligence agencies to brief joe biden. Now joe bidens Transition Team had a couple, had a briefing today and they basically said, listen, its only been about 6 days since biden has, has been that the president elect joe biden, as we all know, was a Vice President for 8 years. So as, as his aides say, you mean he knows where the situation room is, hes very familiar with the white house. Hes very familiar with where he needs to go to get intelligence. So thats not the issue. The issue is that hes not receiving the real time threats that are against the u. S. Here at home, or abroad, or briefings, and to from the Intelligence Community about coronavirus and where we stand with that as well. So there are real ramifications to this, and there are 6 republican senators who all have said that they believe that joe biden should be receiving these briefings. One saying that they would intervene as early as today. But so far, nothing. Thank you from wellington that i gave up his own death in that aljazeera live from london. Much more still ahead on the program. The price of peace at an economy needs free parts and going to car back last time as a by john. And then in the is the u. S. On the verge of a tense day, which more than 100000. 00, people will catch the corona. Others looking at this story as we visit a city thats been cloudy and must allen fog has been a thing in central and Eastern Europe for a few days that persistent fog, its biggest a little bit at the moment. But the real disturbed weather is further west. I mean, this is the source of it all. The atlantic was windy and wet weather for the British Isles for norway and eventually sweden, very low levels. Snow at height, but not much disturbed this very long, and this is the still weather. So although on friday, after the foggy start, it did improve suttas going to be a day with persistent fog and sunday and i think starts name with a brief break in the middle. Again, things are still settled, but this incoming wet and windy has induced, some was ahead of it. Bordeaux was up to 20 in the sunshine drops down tonight, you know, below and back down to know which is about 16 or there abouts about how he gets in the weekend. Behind my head is see to that circulation, which makes a record breaking season for hearkens. It remains over water. Most north africa is far and a few showers coming back into libya or the northern part of egypt has once again we see development heading to the levant. But main rain for africa is heading a long ways, asked that we still got showers in the south, a nigerian back to sierra leone. But on the whole, this is now the drying time of year. Do you feel validated in some way . Is a type of performative activism. Lets go back to specifically you calling donald trump a white supremacist. The lights are on the theres nowhere to hide. Join me Richelle Carey is up at the front questions to my special guests and challenge them to some straight talking political debate from return from aljazeera. Welcome back.
