cut about before the area is handed back to azerbaijan. a week after the us elections, supporters of president donald trump gather in washington d.c. as he continues to defy election results. maybe as rival factions agree on holding nationwide elections by the end of next year. as u.n. sponsored talks conclude in tunisia, we begin with a worsening situation in ethiopia, where after days of denial, a leader in the region has confirmed it was its forces that struck 1st sparking fighting, which has since killed hundreds. he says a t.p.m. left launch a preemptive strike against a military base last week. it prompted the federal government to launch its, offensive in the reach him to grow his goods on other gully, mcg. what? you must understand that the 2 great people are at risk, both internally and externally, eritrea on one end, ethiopian forces on all sides. this move was purely a self-defense measure small countries when they feel the risk of a stronger enemy which is about to destroy them. they often carry out a preemptive strike like this one. or the fighting has since escalated dramatically . the government reportedly now trading rocket fire and the ethiopian human rights commission is now investigating reports of massacres and ethnic profiling. both sides are being accused of atrocities against civilians. we'll hear from the human rights commission in just a moment, but 1st, his mom and dad built from the border of the t. grave each in this country. i mean, it's not the 1st time. we've seen a nicole file of ethnic clashes or violence based on ethnicity. and if you actually, even before the operation began, it was an alarming rate. something that has led to the displacement of more than 2000000 people in the past 2 years. but we are seeing a new level of the problem, given the huge amount of hate speech and incitement on forceful media. but also, organizations like the european human rights commission are talking about people being targeted just because of the absolutely crucial of the commission say they believe that some prisoners in that in prison. and that they fled their complaint that there was only arrest that because of which they community they would community they heard from all the killings in my cobra has shocked the nation to the whole show is a senior adviser and spokesperson for the ethiopian human rights commission. is calling on the government to provide immediate humanitarian assistance to the region. phone lines remain cut off in the region so it's makes, making it very difficult to gather as much information is needed. and corroborate some of the claims made over the last 1011 days. but having said that, there have been allegations that a massacre of civilians took place in my car, drain south west to cry, and the european human rights commission has dispatched a team already there and that team will carry out an investigation that will be made public occlusion of its work in the meantime as well, we've continued to receive information from certain parts of the country from people facing discrimination and exclusion on account of their ethnicity. we've visited police stations, we've spoken to people who are being detained there and we are monitoring these claims very closely. in the meantime, the ethiopian human rights commission is calling for due care to avoid the risk of ethnic profiling. and in discrimination. the allegations are very, very serious, and that's why we are deploying, deploying a team to gather the facts. we're also, we've also made a commit. we're also making recommendations in order to safeguard lives. in the point we're making is it's, it's vital that there is a swift delivery of humanitarian assistance and services. and for this reason, the ethiopian human rights commission is calling for a prompt creation of a humanitarian assistance desk at the level of the federal government that enable the provision of humanitarian assistance. we also call for the necessary support to be given to the red cross because there are occasions that some of their vehicles have been shot at. so we are calling for them to to be, to be given the supports that provide essential services. in other world news, ethnic armenians have been leaving nagorno-karabakh ahead of sunday's handover of land to azerbaijan. some set fire to their homes, they went for some they came for a last pilgrimage, very soon. the monastery of that event will be off limits to armenians nestled in a mountain gorge and killed by john, a district west of the unclever corner. that's about to be returned by german. russian peacekeepers already here, giving people a sense of safety, a final prayer, one more memory, a little souvenir to take back home. there's an overwhelming sense of defeat, a monger mean years, often too difficult to express. stopping the war was the right thing, but not like this. it's unfair, but we have to do it. it was an equal fight. the eyes of the world are wide open, but the world preferred oil and gold instead of justice and they sacrificed us, even though as ever john has promised to save god historical and religious sites. many fear they will be disagreed. it is still crossed as to tear. for centuries is now being dismantled along the road. and meg's it is to always are people who are given only 6 days to pack belongings, accumulated over a lifetime, awfully among them retreating armenian forces. and while they head out, russian peacekeepers are being deployed in killed by george. many people are not intent on leaving behind what they have built up over the past 3 decades. their sense of despair couldn't be bored, clear. smoke billowing from their homes, that they've purposely set on fire. the memories of lifetimes in ashes about $5000.00 ethnic armenians lived here. there's barely any one left village after village deserted, diffused, still remaining, are preparing to leave soon. it's history that repeats itself. somehow, these are the ruins of the house of an azeri family. many others lived in this area, and they had to leave when azerbaijan lost the 1st kind of a hole or in the early 1990, s. and armenia occupied this region back then hundreds of thousands of a series which is staffed of the looker about and the 7 surrounding districts, but some, i mean years like several might not 2nd yan also had to relocate and now he's doing so again, we're not leaving, we're being thrown out as a bludgeon expelled us with this war. painful i was instapundit fighting. when i heard about the ceasefire. i didn't think about it, but it turns out that i've been displaced once more. i'm going to armenia, but i have no place thrown on to the streets. as we head out, an orange globe brightens the night. more houses set ablaze and no one around. i mean in presence here is truly over. this is the story of a capital, a ship, a departure with no date of return. but they still hope that one day they will come back, put up that high meet al-jazeera, killed by john and al jazeera as asama bin. javid is in the as ery. capital bacco, he explains the peace deal and what it means for civilians. as the deal is being signed between the armenians, the a very independent of the russians, the turks will not be present inside nagorno-karabakh. the turks will be part of the peacekeeping centers, but will be established close to the line of control the line of actual contact. and that is where they will be based. many of these details are still emerging. how many will they be? what will be their remit? what can they do? what will happen if they find something which is not in accordance with what others by john or the armenians want? so a lot of that is being thrashed out the other even the armenians are not take directly talking to each other and the, talking to each of the intermediaries. so, yes, it is slowly unfolding, as we see what we know is deadline, is that this 3 surrounding areas around the corner karbala have to be vacated by armenian forces. have to be handed over to azerbaijan. russian peacekeepers are going to come in and then the other by joining forces are going to take control of their borders when there is a curfew that has been implemented in the areas that have been taken by the azerbaijani forces. the police forces for the last 28 years, who are stationed on this side of the divide have been asked to come, and so it is going to slowly unfold. and i asked one of the generals of the other by the only military that what will it take to build trust between these 2 sides? and he stopped paused and he said in a word, time, rival factions in libya have agreed to hold nationwide elections in december of next year. it was announced that u.n. sponsored talks in tunis, delegates are negotiating the appointment of an interim government military representatives have also been meeting in sirte in central libya. they're discussing the implementation of a cease fire deal signed last month's. traina is in misrata force, joins us now live. so a date set for elections. malik, our libyans reacting to this and is it feasible? elections can be held in a years time. well i think here in libya it's been received with a bit of hope, but also a bit of skepticism. now we just heard that the head of the high council of state called the mystery, welcomed the date set for elections. but i think a lot of libyans here are also skeptical that elections can actually take place. we saw elections, the polity. elections take place here in misrata in september, others over 35 minutes, the polities scheduled to hold elections in western libya before the end of the year. but as far as national elections, there's, a lot of skepticism as in terms of if they can take place. now the u.n. the u.n. has, has said that this is a breakthrough. but also what, what the libyans have discussed so far is the general general kind of general issues coming up. for instance, you know, to stop the bloodshed to unify all the state institutions to hold. 'd elections, but what they're discussing now is appointing a new government and presidential council. and this is where things are likely to get a little bit more divisions of because in western libya they're seen as a war criminal. he has failed military campaign, cause over 125000 homes have been destroyed. hundreds of thousands were displaced, many died in the fighting. so any government that is seen to be pro have to might be refused here in western libya and vice versa. and any government that's seen as pro western libya might be refused by eastern libya. so really the next day or 2 is as is really going to tell us whether or not the u.n. sponsored talks will be able to come out with a real political solution in libya. thank you for that money in mistrust and maybe still ahead on al-jazeera 5 percent of the folks that they enter the hospital with covais don't make it out. sounding people to x. us states c.s.t. rising coronavirus infections out of the holiday season in the past. digging up the past columbia restart explanations as a country comes to terms with the dr chapter of its history. how equity in beijing continues to be bad, just unhealthy, but it stood up every day because the wind is still blowing. that wind come across the sea of japan because back to north westerly by monday, so you'll feel a bit more chill, otherwise it's fine. the king weather the southwest of china, northern vietnam, we'll see remains of, of a tropical storm. possibly typhoon van covered by this stage. just a mass of rain. maybe touch in the far south of you now, at the moment is in the open water. and it's nice and warm, not as warm as it was been churned up. but it's still a potentially nasty piece of work with winds of 4355 kilometers prosecution to hurrican. category 2, it might lose a bit of strength before it makes landfall. but it's the rain i think, will be the big problem again, because we've seen, as you know, a lot of flooding in vietnam, these showers further south. and these are tip you give me about $7080.00 millimeters in each downpour, which is right this time of year, they're concentrating on next day or so, maybe in sumatra and puts a job in borneo or less. so for the east, there's also been heavy. rain is falling north as well. the north part under pradesh recently, where the focus is a bit further south this time of year. this is useful coming through afghanistan's northern pakistan. fine looking weather but since 2013 wish the world innovation summit or health has gather healthcare leaders, practitioners and researchers together to learn, interact and engage with innovative organizations. this year. wish will take place spiritually under the banner of one world. are all registered at wish dot org dot q in the a in the way you're watching al-jazeera. a reminder of our top stories to grade forces in ethiopia have confirmed they did attack a military base, sparking a federal government offensive. the ethiopian human rights commission is investigating reports of a mass killing in the town of my cut out ethnic armenians continue to leave areas of nagano, catabolic ahead of sunday's handover of land to azerbaijan. russian in turkish soldiers out on the ground to monitor a deal to end 6 weeks of fighting. and rival factions in libya have agreed to hold nationwide elections in december of next year. it was announced that u.n. sponsored talks in chinnis, delegates a negotiating the appointment of an interim government. now i need a 30 year ceasefire has been brought to an end in the disputed territory of western sahara. the pro independence party, sorry, a front has declared the deal over after moroccan troops launch an operation in the region. government authorities deny any fighting is taking place, nor a bird unmanly reports. a conflict frozen for 3 decades, but never resolved. now, a fragile truce in the western sahara between morocco and a pro independence group is under threat. the policy or affront has been fighting for an independent states in western sahara. an area where between mauritania to the south america to the north, with a population of around half a 1000000 people. but morocco also claims this vast stretch of desert robot accuses policies. are you front of blocking a main highway that is preventing the flow of goods between mauritania and morocco? but the policy sorry of front accuses morocco of carrying out attacks against its people, and of igniting war. more all has publicly officially aren't in violation of the 4th broca's government held in the mergence the meeting to address the situation. this road is important when it comes to the movement of civilians and goods. and because such actions were a violation of the u.n. sponsored cease fire agreement, morocco, in order to fulfill its duties, ordered its military forces to intervene and build a sand barrier to protect the area from any future breaches. negotiations between morocco, the policy, gerry and mauritania have remained suspended for several months. the u.n. is calling for restraint. the secretary general remains committed to doing its utmost to avoid the collapse of the cease fire that has been in place since 6 september 1991. and he is determined to do everything possible to remove all obstacles, to the resumption of the political process, the 2 sides of battle for control of the region. since $975.00, when spain pulled out of the area, took control of drew belly and led to a war that continued until 1991. when the un broke an armistice. but it's a complex that's left tens of thousands of people displaced from their homes. many of the sarai refugees have been living for decades in vast, sprawling camps, along old cheeriest border with morocco. the conditions are harsh and they continue to rely on humanitarian assistance to survive. but the political impasse continues, and it's unlikely these people return to their homes any time soon. among the al jazeera, iran has denied reports that one of the top leaders was killed on its soil. and times report says that al qaeda is 2nd in command. abdullah ahmad abdullah now us killed in tehran in august. he was accused of helping mastermind the 1998 bombings of 2. u.s. embassies in africa. iran's foreign ministry described the report as false saying al-qaeda has no presence in the country. supporters of us present donald trump have gathered in washington d.c. in what's being billed as the 1000000 man march staging. it's the white house in a display of support for trump's effort to stay in power. dozens of people, as you can see there, but not a 1000070. they're expected to be met by counter protesters later in the day. it's been exactly one week since joe biden was declared. the u.s. president elect yet still hasn't conceded to rosslyn jordan in washington d.c. for us. so ross one week since joe biden was declared, president elect trump, still not giving up and neither are supporters. no, they're not to hear behind a counter. protesters are using their megaphones to state their views of the current president. 7 while those who support the president, a few dozen of them anyway, have been walking down h. street below our vantage point on their way to freedom plaza, where a few 1000 people apparently have gathered to show their support for the u.s. president. there have been a couple of minor scuffles outside of our position today. of the police has been able to very quickly separate both sides. but it's not millions of people coming out to support the u.s. president. it is worth knowing, noting that on his way we believe to his golf course in northern virginia, the president. 'd came through the crowds at freedom plaza in a motorcade to basically thank them with his a very, very brief presence for their support. but the fact is, this is not going to change the vote outcome in the november 3rd election. joe biden is the president elect. he has at least 306 electoral college votes and he has collected at least 5300000 more votes then the sitting president in that election. so this is a situation where people are claiming that they're going to try to overturn the vote outcome. but really, it may just be more an expression of their frustration that the voters didn't see things their way. and the biden team, sadly, seems to be paying this down and proceeding with the transition was by just how complicated is it going to be for them over the next few weeks if the trump administration refuses to cooperate? well, the biggest complication is the fact that the head of the general services administration, basically the logistics agency for the u.s. government, has not signed a letter. that with all the rise members of president elect biden's team to take up residence inside federal agencies so that they can work hand in glove with their current counterparts. so that the business of the u.s. government does not fall apart when there is the transition at the top of the u.s. government at the white house. this is work that has always taken place throughout the u.s. . it's history. but you need to have that legal authorization, so that money can be spent in order to run background checks on potential cabinet nominees and other officials who need senate confirmation. you need to have people authorized with the proper security clearances, to gain access to government information and documents so that they can do their work. and that's the real complication. as long as this letter has not been issued, there's not as much that the bush team, the biden team, excuse me, can do, as they would like to be doing right now across jordan in washington. thank you. now the coronavirus pandemic is gathering speed in the us with recognize of infections recorded daily. public health experts are warning the situation could get worse. rob reynolds reports 1000 cases are skyrocketing across the u.s. . hospitals in multiple states are running out of beds and protective equipment. doctors and nurses are once again exhausted, like every hospital across the country were overwhelmed or were getting overrun, governors across the country issued dire warnings, mandatory mask wearing orders, and restrictions on businesses and social gatherings. the dreaded winter surges here, infection records are being set in states across the entire country. we report, record hospitalizations and deaths day after day on hospitals are full. 5 percent of the folks that that entered the hospital with covais don't make it out. but one in 20, california joined texas as the 1st states recording over 1000000 cases. each. meanwhile, president elect joe biden and his cold 900 task force are still barred by the outgoing trump administration from getting briefings on the situation. it's imperative that our team and our experts have better access. some states like new mexico have imposed the near complete shutdown, but biden will not order a nationwide freeze when he takes office on january 20th. we're not in a place where we're saying, shut the whole country down. we've got to be more targeted. americans are getting ready for the thanksgiving holiday, which traditionally involves big family gatherings. public officials are begging them to limit groups. we must tell you, you must cancel the normal thanksgiving plans. the u.s. centers for disease control forecast deaths could reach as many as 282000 over the next 4 weeks. robert oulds al-jazeera, colombia's special justice tribe, you know, has resumed the exhumation of bodies in the northwestern town of military officials say at least 50 extrajudicial killings were committed by the army. he has a story, forensic experts from colombia or an earthling mass graves near the northwest town of the army officers have testified that at least 50 people killed by soldiers and falsely presented as rebel fighters to boost up the sticks are buried here already, $54.00 bodies have been recovered, but only 4 identified the burials tonight for more than 2 decades. after one of the darkest chapters of the country's civil conflict. disappeared in 1997 until today 2020. that means that we look for him for 23 years . family members line up to give blood samples to help identify the dead through d.n.a. matching or still looking for 3 of them in wales, children perhaps will find one of the bodies find out where they are. one thing is to know where they're buried. give them a funeral. another is having no idea of what happened to them. official estimates say that some 200000 bodies still need to be discovered in colombia. it's just one of many tasks that the peace tribunal is addressing as the country tries to face its past. the ect that congregates us here and did a bieber central part goes beyond returning these bodies to the family that reiterate unwavering commitment with truth and justice. yet the tribunals created under the 2016 peace accord with 5 balls has been at the center of the political attacks that some criticize the fact that former rebels to tell the truth and compensate big things can avoid prison terms. others believe the tribunals is biased against the military and politicians allegedly involved in war crimes. former president has been leading the charge recently calling for a referendum to abolish the courts altogether. but some observers say, what critics fear, the most is the i'm bailing of evidence showing collusion between the military paramilitary in powerful elites. former president he said that stronger proceedings, especially restriction of peace from the commission for millions of victims of colombia's long internal conflict. this is the 1st real opportunity to get a glimmer of justice and relief. i listened. anti-government demonstrations in chile are continuing with people demanding greater equality. police fired water cannon to disperse crowds in santiago. nationwide demonstrations began more than a year ago. protesters have been calling for reforms to the pension healthcare and education system. and

covered in messages. the city has seen months of protests calling for reform to the government, and the monarchy. they say prime minister, prior to channel china's rule is illegitimate and should resign. and they're demanding more accountability for their king. as always more news on our website at al-jazeera dot com, the very latest on all of our top stories on their al-jazeera dot com. the
