settlements and forced from their homes. we need the feel p. and so fled to sudan and are now desperate for help. i'm joining us though with sports major league baseball star robinson camaro has been banned for a whole season for doping and must fulfill his $24000000.00 salary. thank you for joining us. we start this news hour with the coronavirus funday make and the race to find a vaccine. british pharmaceutical giant astra zeneca says its phase 2 trials show, promise in protecting the most at risk groups. a strong immune response was shown in those age over 70. the vaccine is being developed in partnership with oxford university and is now in the final stage of human testing to confirm those findings . the positive news on the vaccine front comes as cases continue to mount. more than $2000000.00 cases have now been reported in africa, but low rates of testing means the caseload is sought to be much higher across the $54.00 country, continent globally cases have surpassed $56000000.00. there's been more than, 1300000 deaths worldwide. 250000 of those in the u.s., making it the worst affected country by far on a dangerous is standing by in nigeria's capital for more on the increase in cases across africa. but 1st we go to charlie in london for more on the oxford university vaccine charlie. this week we had the pfizer and we're doing a vaccine, really some positive results. and now encouraging news from the office of vaccine. yes, very encouraging. as you said, it's just published its phase 2 results which were based on a group of 560 volunteers. these are not, it's phase 3 results which will be coming in the next few weeks. but the initial results showed that this vaccine is generating a strong immune response in adults over 1617. this is a very crucial age group because vaccines don't tend to work as well in older people because as we get older, our immune systems deteriorate. this vaccine is different from the other 2 that we've been reporting on because it is made from a weakened version of the common cold virus found in chimpanzees, which is then modified to make sure that it cannot grow in humans is given in 2 doses. and so far is reporting a 99 percent efficacy rate. all participants have been gently generating neutralizing antibodies. so is knocking out the virus in their bloodstream with no reported side effects. and that is very good news here because this is the vaccine that britain is betting on. it has bought 100000000 doses of it so far, and so we are eagerly awaiting the phase 3 results. what's interesting is that initially this vaccine was one of the front runners, and we thought we'd be getting results much earlier. but as we know in the last 10 days, the pfizer bio and tech and the madonna vaccines have pulled ahead and, and have shown that they are more than 90 percent effective. and what's interesting is that those vaccines use a technology that is completely new,, that known as messenger r.n.a., but their results are not. so vaccine results are very promising for all the other vaccines that are still in development because the scientists say that if one is working well of 2 it working well, it's very likely that the others will also work well. and that's important because scientists say that it's not, it's going to be a, it's not going to be a one size fits all. one vaccine might be good for a certain age group. another vaccine might be good for certain ethnicity or certain demographic in the population. but all this talk of facts, and it's certainly giving hope here in britain, indeed in london. thank you live in a project for us ahmed. this been an increase in cases in africa over the last few weeks. where is this happening and why? fully the truth of the matter is this seems to be some for tea or some kind of fatigue of the past 2 of africans. we just came back from an election in ivory coast and what you notice there and across many sub-saharan african countries is that people where very few people were massed this days. social distancing is still a problem, and crowds gather in large numbers. most of the people you see in such crowds don't wear a face mask. these are concerning and experts are warning that as the how much dusty amateur season kicks in. in a few weeks or a few days. we're going to see we are going to see a lot of cases of 19, for example in nigeria for the last 2 months, only a few dozen cases were reported each day. but today, at the center for disease control, the released its results saying that in the past 48 hours, more than $200.00 cases were recorded. and it warned that this could increase as people abundant safety precautions use of and of course, social distancing. and even government doctors are warning that probably the government half to re impose restrictions across the country if this case is continue to rise. so that's the problem now. well, the issue of science is good news for me, the africans. but remember, this is a very, very hot continent, most parts of the continent, it's very hot. the storage of these boxes is a problem with shortage of electricity supplies and all that. and what people want to see is the quick delivery of vaccines. they can easily access to which many people in africa, many people across sub-saharan, africa believe will be difficult because the priority seems to be europe and the richer countries of, of the world. and then the problems of logistics, these trucks. and some of these boxes can be stored at minus 70 degrees temperature . and this is not possible in, in, in many parts of africa. you have problems of electricity and even storage could be a problem delivering such rotten storage areas. hard, accessible a rural areas will also be a contributor, a factor too, are these. but since we're not necessarily which people quickly in a budget, well, let's discuss this further. now, increasing cases across africa with professor yacht bloom, who is the regional representative for epicenter africa, the research on of doctors without borders. he joins us via skype from yellow day in cameroon. thank you very much, professor for being with us. so what's happened to the numbers in africa? one of the main trajectories of countries right now, did you could be funny to me? i was asleep, always one to atlanta, the size of a freak out. it was a 1454 countries because of the, what we're seeing in that country like south africa, are still having a number of cases as well as those countries that are closer to europe. moral core 70000 kids for the last 2 weeks. sympathy for needy are for n.g.o.s and so on. but what is interesting us has been mentioning nigeria and have countries like kenya and kenya. last week you have for just one day because they were north visiting the must be talked to the count down. an important and increasing number of kids, their country as uganda mentioned also worry because when to the answer election guy is going to bat and then we get in. we believe that daughter election or what is happening there, meeting in the rallies before the election. and i also contribute to the increasing number of kids in some countries, as well as what has been however, the fact that people don't work must write because they are kind of appreciate the number of this was a cloak and is the idea of the west india think the continent is missing more cases perhaps because of the fact that he has less far testing capacity than other places in the world. yes, definitely. difficult to do this to do things for which so most of the country will turn to the bishop to be symptomatic while we've realized that in africa what the kids so if those people don't go by themselves to the desired, what are you committed become a group we want to actually live in now you have doors. so big we're looking for people who have been exposed in what he has seen that more people having its jaws than those who are big reported meeting. so we are missing a number of cases, but even with this increase in cases professor, that we're seeing right now, it's not the catastrophe that many experts had predicted at the beginning of the pandemic. the catastrophe that africa said would experience to what do you attribute this is actually 1st of all we need to define what because it does a few what you see in kenya, for example, the number of kids done during the 1st wave, but that doesn't feed the number of kids, one or more death in a number of deaths, phone number of examples. so no need to be stupid. and we don't want to mediate expect to have more all done previously because the actual target population work people are listening to africa. so how will your population might be advantage for the continent? so, as ahmed mentioned, developing countries are falling behind in the race to reserve a vaccine despite an international agreement to allocate a vaccine equitably. how would just say africa is positioned right now? i think it's important to contextualize the risk for a back seat. if you don't have a car, see that in a cheap present. if you get any ill enough to go, you have a 9596 percent coverage rate. so would you go to a vaccine? that was, my house starts adverse effect, what it is by not particularly it on yourself. so while it also took all the risk that i mentioned, we need ever seen that to save us well, that can actually be implemented in how many consider it took the lead at all as a country. but definitely we need to also find how on the front and the british and the support of the buying of those. i see. thank you so much, professor yap bone for talking to us about this professor joining us there from cameroon. to this loss more ahead on this al-jazeera news hour including it's going to get worse as air pollution in the winter months struggling to breathe why health experts are warning evolution could lead to more coronavirus dancing in india. australian soldiers are accused of unlawfully killing civilians and prisoners, one serving in afghanistan in the edwards from the university of georgia and an n.b.a. draft with a difference. ice-t. delayed. pick of the best college players goes ahead in the pandemic that's coming out in support states which are more than a quarter of a 1000000, people have now died from colvin. 1000 in the u.s. . the highest number of deaths in a single country infections are still rising more than a 1000000 cases have been reported in the past week. the situation is so bad, states and cities are imposing new restrictions. new york city has just decided to close schools to prevent more infections. meanwhile, u.s. president elect joe biden has warned. the u.s. could be setback in the fight against a pandemic, unless information is made available to his team. biden was hosting a virtual meeting with frontline health care workers battling the coronavirus. he also said that americans deserved leaders who would work hard to support nurses and care is not. a poll conducted over the past week has revealed a significant number of republican voters still believe the presidential election may have been stolen. according to its source and 68 percent of republicans said they are worried. the poll was rigged. meanwhile, only 16 percent of democrats and one 3rd of independents are similarly concerned altogether. 73 percent of those polled agree that biden won the election law fire percent fun one, but some race, especially when they were asked whether the president let todd rightfully been victorious. let's speak to david smith about this, his a senior lecturer in american politics and foreign policy at the university of sydney and joins us via skype from sydney in australia. thank you very much, david, for being with us. so what it's nearly 3 weeks now since election day, and this poll shows that president trump's false claim that he won the election is being backed by many ordinary republicans. how surprising is this u.n. where problems as it posed to the biden administration when it comes in? this unfortunately is not very surprising. and when we look at these poll numbers, we have to remember, this is something that people like saying to pollsters. it's an expression of their frustration, it's an expression of their political beliefs. it may not be a particularly deeply held belief, but certainly it really echoes the rhetoric of trump himself. during a bomber's presidency, polls consistently found that the between a quarter and hof of republicans thought that obama was not born in the united states. so this kind of questioning of the legitimacy of the incoming president isn't actually new to america. and it really shows just how deeply divided the society is along party lines. so unfortunately, this isn't a very surprising at all. as long as trump continues to say that the election was stolen, the majority of republicans will continue to side with the election was stolen, and despite the legal set, banks have had in recent days, a trap campaign continues with this legal actions if paid $3000000.00 to fund a partial recount in wisconsin is not going to make any difference you think that isn't going to make any difference to the rice recounts usually at the most might uncover a few 100 ballots. there has been a hand recount in georgia that has narrowed biden's, laid by about a 1000 or 2000 votes there. but the laid in wisconsin is $20000.00 votes to biden. there are only asking for a count in 2 counties because the campaign is running low on cash at this point. that will cost them 3000000. it would have cost $8000000.00 to have a recount for the whole state. so this isn't going to change the result. it's just dragging out the process and it's really just a delaying tactic, right. and so what are the areas where this lack of corporation on the transition is most dangerous? is it colored $1000.00 foreign policy troop withdrawals? it's really dangerous on all of those fronts. one of the findings of the $911.00 commission was that when the presidential transition was delayed just by 6 weeks in 2000, that led to serious problems with intelligence. but my have obstructed the discovery of the 911 plot. your previous guests have talked about the kinds of logistical challenges that are involved in the distribution of a vaccine. those are going to be absolutely immense when that vaccine becomes available. this is going to be one of the 1st major challenges for joe biden, and it's not just the lack of information that is being shared with biden. it's the fact that trump has been sacking sun. many people that some many positions in the u.s. government on the stopped, there's a real lack of expertise and there's a real danger. the biden is going to walk into a very chaotic situation when he becomes president. that will be compounded by the lack of the transition and the lack of information sharing that's going on at the moment. certainly a very complicated transition process. david smith, thank you very much for talking to us. david smith is a senior lecturer in american politics at the university of sydney. thank you for your time. and the prime minister says government troops are closer to victory against forces in the northern take grey region. the fighting has forced thousands to cross into sudan over the past 2 weeks. many have gone for days without food, but aid is starting to arrive. al-jazeera reports on the eastern side of god, a reef on the border between sudan in ethiopia. more than a week after the arrival of refugees through this cabin ghobadi of the 1st apply of food aid is starting to trickle. and also flour and oil is rationed out between the families who've come here hundreds lined up to receive their share. most like some family you have left their children back in shelters and withstand scorching sun while they wait. they are desperate. as it is, i'm a lamb of god. that would mean i'm glad that it. organizations have started distributing food. a lot of people were going hungry, some of us had gone for 2 or 3 days without food. there was a whole day that my kids and i went without any food, but now with 8 here, we can have meals. it's been 10 days since i came here from a country, and in those 10 days we haven't eaten proper meals. we are hungry and we have small children to feed. now we are going to get some food. and we think god for that, because over the past 10 days we didn't receive anything. we hope they bring more because this will not be enough for the many families here. both of those are 2 of the nearly 15000 residents of the camp, which was opened less than 2 weeks ago. they come from the region in northern ethiopia, where the government has launched an offensive more than $50000.00 have fled to neighboring sudan since the start of the conflict, including to aid organizations, the thousands more integrate are facing a dire humanitarian situation with the government imposing a communications blackout and blocking access to the region. many refugees arriving at the sudanese border are exhausted and hungry. so far most of the food for the refugees has come from local communities around the border points and refugee camps . but the communities themselves face economic hardships, as sudan, battle soaring market prices, and the number of those crossing the border to escape the fighting into great is rising. many who said they've gone for days without food. now have something to eat . but the country, the refugees are arriving too has its own set of problems, including a state of emergency floods in september damaged many roads. and that is now one during a delivery. so the challenge is to remain there, but what we're doing is that we have enough food stocks in the country has w f. b i . we've been able, really to pull on food from other areas where we had surpluses to try to prepare food here. as we speak right now, we have about enough food 46270000 people already here on site. and these are distributed, of course, which are of course under god if, as well where we are right now, they're refugees don't know how long they will remain in the camps. for now they just please to be safe and have food for their families. and he joins us now live from ethiopia's border with sudan. so he tell us more about this camp where you are right now, and where the people who've arrived there in recent days have told you well, fully the place where i am right now was not initially set up to be a refugee camp yet. it continues to receive hundreds and hundreds of refugees every single day. let's take a look at the structure of the camp behind me. it's concrete. it seems to be made up of a room and a small kind of shelter, but it was set up for people who were displaced due to the building of a damn about 30 to 40 kilometers away from here. those people did not end up residing here. so this place was largely empty up until about 10 days ago when refugees started arriving and started being put here by the military. they arrive at border points between sudan and if you appear they are collected by military trucks and trucks provided for by nations. and then they're brought to this camps to be registered and provided for by aid organizations. now most of the refugees we've spoken to speak of atrocities they say they witnessed, or they heard from family members which forced them to flee this speak about people being people being slaughtered, people being killed with machetes, they said that they're not sure how people are being targeted and based on what exactly. so they had to flee with their families, most of them with no properties. they're saying that fear for their lives and for their children's lives is what brought them to here. it's a journey that takes up to 5 days fully, most of them go without food and 40 percent of those who arrive here according to view and children's agency. unicef are children below 5 or pregnant and nursing mothers who are in desperate need of nutrition for their health. a desperate situation. indeed, for those people who've arrived there in sudan, he'd been morgan in the diary. thank you very much. the 1st visit by a u.s. secretary of state to any legal settlement in the occupied west bank is due to take place later on thursday. my compare has been in israel for the latest stop of his 10 day tour of the middle east. and europe has met with these really prime minister benjamin netanyahu, the trumpet ministration has broken with decades of u.s. foreign policy in its support of israel and helping forge the deal live to harry fawcett in the occupied west bank, or is how he saw a controversial visit made today by the u.s. secretary of state to an illegal settlement. how is that going down there? and what impact will it have on the ground? will certainly as far as the residents of our bureau, many of them have american palestinian residency. they are entirely opposed to this . they say this is their land that has been stolen, that they don't have access to what should be their farm land, on which some of which is being used for the winery that pompey is due to be visiting during this very unusual visit, the 1st time that a u.s. section of state has visited an illegal settlement. and this follows, of course pantos statement last year, recapitulate, wrote, rather than rejecting the initial standing u.s. view of settlement construction as illegal under international law saying it was not per se illegal during a news conference earlier on thursday with the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu of israel he again reiterated that saying that settlements could be done in a lawful appropriate and proper way. and so he is coming to the settlement just behind me. so i got to really emphasize that throughout the news conference, both men were really going over some of the greatest hits as far as they're concerned of the 4 years of the trump presidency when it comes to middle east policy and israel policy, you know, listing them saying thanks to donald trump at the beginning of each such sentance. and pompei himself made a bit of news on the front of the b.d.s. movement. the boycott divestment and sanctions movement against israel. saying that the united states under his leadership of the state department would now classify that as anti semitic. we will regard the global or any israel b.d.s. campaign is anti semitic. and other sensible to you, mr. private. as you see it is, it seems like a statement of fact, but i want you to know that we will immediately take steps to identify organizations that engage in hateful b.d.s. . gondor can withdraw our us government support for such groups. now there are some anti settlement activists protesters both inside the settlement. got israelis, and there are palestinians who small group policy has been protesting outside the settlement. gates we've heard some bangs recently of tear gas. we've smelt that drifting across the valley. so that does just remind you if not needed, just how controversial this visit is as well as coming here. we know that they will be going up to the occupied golan heights later on thursday as well. that is somewhere that obviously israel did or of the united states under that the trunk ministration did declare as is sovereign israeli territory despite the fact it is seen as occupied territory under international law. we're just hearing that is currently arriving at the settlement. we heard from her on a sure way, the senior member of the p.l.o. executive committee earlier about this visit saying that he was trespassing on palestinian land, stolen by israel, that he had done enough damage and he should just go away. harry, thank you for the momentary fawcett reporting live from our bureau in the west time now for a check on the world weather his farm. the sun has returned to almost all of argentina as the showers are going to cross the border. have been focusing in the southeast of brazil, decrease our pilot typical summer season. they've had about 100 percent almost of november's rainfall with not finished november yet. and that rain is gone beyond the power in the forecast, up to rio having topped up some of the reservoirs, the onshore breeze in one of their still keeps things cooler. they should be there . here is $26.00 for the summer rains developing nicely in the northwest of brazil and also in peru and colombia, possibly to no. i see that they've been too heavy, particularly in northwestern colombia, which the last few days been suffering flooding. this is the result. i mean, the flooding is really being a meter deep inside people's homes, so the damage is still being investigated. and of course you've been at hurricanes the mix further north in honduras in particular, and flooding here has been the main problem for most admittedly near the coast of nicaragua. you had wind damage too, but flooding is extensive in central america and it will carry on being out in the forecast. you've got more rain sending into the south of mexico and also showing it down in costa rica. and panama says, hold area

vaccine developed by the university of oxford in astra zeneca. the latest phase 2 findings show a strong immune response was traded in those aged over 17. meanwhile, infections across africa have surpassed 2000000, but low rates of testing means the case note is taught to be much higher across the 5400. continents and aids is beginning to arrive at refugee camps in sudan for those who fled

residents in new delhi haven't had a day of clean air in more than 2 months. and the region is also recording its highest number of kobe, 900 factions. since the onset of the pandemic, india correspondent elizabeth for some new delhi joggers in new delhi. take advantage of the relatively clear after weeks of toxic, small stop people from venturing outside for exercise, for a morning run. and then get this within the time in this whole year. where it becomes harder to cycle run in the air pollution. we get a cough and sneeze that parents don't allow us to go. 6 of the world's 10 most polluted cities are in india's capital region. until the recent rain cleared, the small and the air quality index in new delhi was showing levels of pollution between 454-9918 scale of 500 that is 20 times higher than what's considered safe by the world health organization. bots went to rain is unusual in delhi as pollution levels are set to tear it again soon. everyone to smoke from stubble burning in farms in the neighboring states of punjab and haryana and fumes from vehicles and factories and gulf. the city, lower temperatures and slower moving winds trap pollution from the air. but this year, institutions including harvard in cambridge universities, say air pollution is leading to more severe cases of the coronavirus and more deaths from it. and no way in india is the situation worse than in delhi. the number of hospitals are full. it's impossible to get a bed today. so we were a desperate situation from that perspective and it's going to get worse air pollution in the winter months. and of course, called it all make things worse for the putative time environmentalist say the delhi pollution control committee or d, p. c. c must do more. d.c.c. was found to have only $37.00, full time scientists and engineers who can actually go ahead and know who have the it lead to go and inspect and police an issue in order to caution against polluting sources. that's nearly not enough. probably in all we need hundreds of them. this month, the indian government set up a new commission to monitor and act against sources of pollution across 5 north indian states. health experts and bar mentalists criticised the timing, saying they had been warning for moms that the easing of the lockdown would lead to an increase in pollution and the impact that would have on those with covert 19 elizabeth piron of al-jazeera, new delhi pakistan's prime minister is in afghanistan for talks with president ashraf ghani is a man khan's 1st visit to a country. it comes as peace talks between afghanistan and the taliban have stalled . and there's been ongoing violence between afghan forces and the taliban. live to come on, hyder, who's in his bad for so prime minister of iran can have promised a visit afghanistan on his 1st address to the nation over 2 years ago. what took so long well indeed, it is an excellent question. and the fact remains that the election that of ron and starr and above is on the prime minister also saying that for the 1st time, any nation saying that he would be going through a lot and started a priority to go ways all for establishing peace in that country, however, within of one it's done, there were divisions after the presidential election. there was a great deal of mistrust. but today speaking of romney said that both countries needed that need both in order to restore peace and stability. he said, there were no need for a cease fire, and that improved relations between the 2 countries would be a harbinger girl at the end prosperity in the region. prime minister imran khan. also saying that this was indeed a historic moment and voice to see that reduction of violence. and you mentioned on the offensive and about the progress on the prime minister would also be discussing with the of our own president. their reasons for ways dead being such a great deal of mistrust. and that of course would include indian involvement and some of the people based on the groups that were driven by the pakistani taliban the military. so what then are the main issues between mitchell countries expand more on that and what role can pakistan paint to reduce tensions? cording to the prime minister, played a crucial role in for bringing the dollar bond to the negotiating table with the americans and then playing also an important role in dialogue. so everybody know of nervously watching what happened, given the fact that the united states president outgoing president garner drum, said that he would be pulling out the american forces, which would create a way guarding a good many strategic analyst said. so it really be interesting to see what happens within the duma and transition takes place. but for progress on an up front it's done. it grows to be very important to improve the trade between their 2 country to increase import and export. and to be able to help each other. david a railing is on both sides to mend fences in islamabad. thank you. and long awaited inquiry into the conduct of australian special forces in afghanistan has uncovered, uncovered. rather, a culture of secrecy, deceit, and cover up it found what it called credible evidence of multiple war crimes, including the killing of civilians and prison, is going to gauge has more on the investigation from australia's capitol canberra nearly 2 decades after the 1st destroy in troops were deployed to afghanistan astray as military faced up to some brutal truths, 23 incidents, of alleged killing of 39 people in inquiry commission defense force can times what it says is credible evidence of war crimes in afghanistan. carried out by a latest rally and special forces soldiers, including initiation executions with junior soldiers were encouraged to kill prisoners and planting weapons on bodies to conceal unlawful behavior. i sincerely and unreservedly apologize for any wrongdoing by australian soldiers. the inquiry says none of the killings took place in the heat of battle. the victims were unarmed and has recommended 19 soldiers be investigated. the responsibility lies not only with those who pulled the trigger. they respect the laws of the strength, government, successive governments who taken a very short term approach, thinking about what should have been a long term strategy. the report also outlines a culture of secrecy and deceit within a stray special forces. it found no evidence that say new leadership knew of any alleged offenses, but it was a failure of higher command to not correct the toxic culture. before your investigation a special investigator will be appointed to prepare evidence for any possible war crime prosecutions. a process that will walk the inquiry recommends compensation be paid even before the findings end up in court. a move welcomed by families of victims in afghanistan also want at the victims to be eventually participating in the legal proceedings. and not only in this investigation, but also more importantly in the legal proceedings. and ultimately the justice of all the rules has been involved in afghanistan was the longest. these new revelations will no doubt cast a shadow role in the conflict. al-jazeera camera. armenia's prime minister is from missing to change the military and the electoral system as he faces pressure to resign their demands when he called pashley on to step down after he signed a deal to hand over parts of nagorno-karabakh to azerbaijan. after 6 weeks of fighting rallies organized by pro and anti-government, demonstrators were held in the capital year than soldiers who took part in the recent conflicts were among the protesters so far passionate and has ignored calls to quit al-jazeera as assam, a big job it is in its was only a territory recently taken retaken by azerbaijan. a very president special advise you're entering in has really after 27 years, there is widespread destruction. what is the plan? actually, we see the destruction. it's in a bundle is a, but are being committed by the army against the city and physically was one of the prosperous city of azerbaijan before completion. and azerbaijan has already started well done planning and city planning process. so with a constructor, intercity, or facility, and bring in internally displaced population of facility back to is really an idea, quite aerators of azerbaijan. and once again, international community will see the difference between destruction of armenia and construction of azerbaijan. but of course, armenia as a state bears a responsibility for such an actions of war crimes, crimes against humanity in cordons, in a policy of $1.00 ism. and based on that assessments, of course, we will continue to build international institutions including the international courts. so we are to hew armenia. there is a demand by azerbaijan to include turkish peacekeepers, the centers where they're going to be based. that's not decided. how many are there going to be? that's not decided. so how are you going to talk about i.d.p.'s coming back to where your theory is, when there is so much still pending? indeed, the return of i.d.p.'s is going to be immediate process. a lot needs to be done, but no infrastructure has been left here, nor solid building has been left here, and all areas been contaminated was a mines, and unexploded ordinance is absent, has been destroyed. therefore, it requires from azerbaijan to start new trends from recent destruction policy areas. the russian peacekeepers are deployed in going to corroborate region of azerbaijan. as regards in a turkish peacekeepers, it's, i was in a monitoring system. and currently with parameters are in the process of discussion . thank you very much. especially by the through the president talking to us in the rear. there is widespread destruction all around, most of the infrastructure in the city has been taken out. look here, tell us that it was a city and surrounding areas which used to have about $140000.00, people who were displaced from this area. and since there would be taken out in the, 1990 s., there is really nothing but destruction that have happened here. so a lot needs to be done before people can actually come back in senior politicians in the u.s. at pushing for new legislation to block a 23000000000 dollar weapon sales to the united arab emirates. the movie seeking to hold president donald trump's deal to sell drones. f. 35 fighter jets and to air missiles to the u.a.e. senators say the sale was rushed and threatens an arms race in the region. georgiou cast hero is c.e.o. of gulf state analytics says it's a geopolitical risk consulting firm focusing on the arabian peninsula. he says is concerned the weapon weapon sales could escalate tension in the region, particularly in yemen and libya. well, one of the reasons why there is a significant amount of concern in washington about this arms deal has to do with the fact that the united arab emirates is quite involved in not only yemen, but also libya and morality, foreign policy views of the these 2 conflicts has been quite controversial if we're being very frank, the united arab emirates does not exactly have an excellent human rights record. so there are many who think that this development could do a lot to exacerbate many of the problems in yemen and libya. it could also ratchet up tensions in relation to iraq on many, or also pointing out the fact that the u.a.e. is one of the countries blockading qatar. so the ways in which this could impact the balance of power in the middle east. obviously, very relevant to the discussions that we have here in washington. but i think it's important to point out that it doesn't really seem likely that congress will be able to stop this from happening. it seems that this is one of numerous issues where the trumpet ministration is very aggressively pushing ahead with its agenda. during its remaining weeks in power, forecasters are warning the devastating floods left by storm iota could get worse with more heavy rain on the way. iowa came ashore in central america as a strong as atlanta, kara kane of the year killing. more than 30 people, and leaving a trail of destruction, alexia bryan has more. the overcome with emotion, these families are being reunited. after hurricane iosa ripped through their homes in colombia, the desperation of seeing their neighborhoods destroyed the fear of losing their loved ones and the relief of survival a too much for some of your words because i can't explain. it is the worst thing a human can experience. now there are people on the streets sleeping on the streets . there's been a lifted from the island of providence. and this is what they've left behind. the military has been called in to help with the cleanup. and what will be a long road to recovery time for themselves, and i know that the reconstruction challenge is going to be enormous. juge the total destruction of a lot of the infrastructure. the important thing is that in the 1st $100.00 days of intervention, we will have humanitarian assistance and will be able to help the most affected families. the storm unleashed winds of around 250 kilometers an hour and record rainfall, swelling rivers, and triggering mudslides across central and south america. rooftops doss the sea of muddy

overwhelmed with new arrivals. right now i'm in a shelter, but at any moment they could kick me out and i don't know where to go. and it's not over yet. there are more warnings of life 3 thing, flash flooding from the heavy rain in iotas tale brian al jazeera. people are demanding the resignation of president sebastian pinera. after a crackdown on demonstrations. police in town tiago have used water cannon to disperse crowds and arrested people near the presidential palace. 3 weeks ago. chileans voted in favor of re writing the constitution after more than a year of protests there also demanding the release of activists. so as been jailed, large crowds have gathered in argentina's capital supporting a push by the president that would legalize abortion. the move has reopened a controversial debate in the largely catholic country after similar efforts fail 2 years ago. there is a ball reports from when a size it was accompanying promise made by president, one of the fatah members, vowing to change the strict abortion laws in argentina. this week he sent a proposal to congress to legalize the procedure activists celebrated. but they know there's a tough battle ahead of them at minimum have not had we believe we have to be on the streets to continue with the sea of green as we see it. because we cannot be defeated again in the senate. and we don't know how many senators will vote in some cases they may adopt their decision to the situation on the street. so we need to be here. abortion is only legal in argentina, in cases of rape, or if a women's lives is at risk. i know in 2018 a bill was passed in the lower house but failed to get senate approval on the issue of the controversial issue in the catholic country and yet some sectors of society without a home. but the women here say that of course it would happen in the family way, and that's why thousands of women have asked for their life every year. most of those women have to go to robert dr. and end up trying to terminate their pregnancies in back room. you see jurors that are unsafe and uniquely human rights groups say, legalizing abortion is a matter of public health. and that's why they're pushing all forty's to take action by turning public buildings green. the color that has come to represent the call to legalize abortion in latin america to some legislator, i already say that they are, they are in favor of abortion. come on, this is there, maybe they don't fight against abortion and it's ok. we know who they are, it's ok, but somebody like that, i doubt ng on and we are trying to topple both who are doubting, in order that put on means then to sell them how we think or backward and be nice to finally have that they can i say somalia face, on a far more fun to angle yanna are the only latin american countries that permeate pregnancies to be terminated in the 1st weeks of the region. argentina would allow women to have an abortion during the 1st 14 weeks of pregnancy, but the measure is also accompanied by a 1000 days surance policy that will assist women who want to have their babies. but the bill faces strong opposition, especially from the catholic church. both francis compared having an abortion to hiring a hit man, and many in the country agree an orderly. once again, they are taking abortion law. they want to tell us abortion is the solution for poverty. in argentina, we ask all good argentinians to do what they can on the streets to pressure legislators to oppose the bill. the abortion law cannot make it to congress. the law is likely to be debated in december during an extra sessions. these people say they remain on the streets, pressuring congress to legalize abortion, and helping women to get the treatment they desperately need. it is how
