Tehran is vowing swift revenge and accusing israel of trying to create chaos, looting and violence in france, after tens of thousands protest against police brutality. What the failure to satellites about the poles could hamper what we know about Climate Change them through their sports boxes. Mike tyson and roy jones jr, weigh in for the heavyweight exhibition fight in los angeles. So we begin with breaking news for me. Theo pierre, where the Prime Minister says the military operation in the northern tier, a region is over. The army says it is in full control of the capital, which has been at the center of a weeks long conflict between the government and regional forces. The 2 great Peoples Liberation front says the Ethiopian Military used artillery and air strikes to capture the city. It is feared, thousands of people have been killed in the offensive. United nations is pushing ethiopia to allow access to, to great to provide much needed food and shelter. It worried about the 100000 eritrean refugees whove been living in the region for years. Where the conflict has forced more them, 40000. 00 people from ethiopia into neighboring sudarsan. The u. N. Is appealing for 150000000. 00 in aid to provide water shelter and health services. Lets get more from from may bring kenya in nairobi. In fact, these latest developments, what more do we know . We just heard in the last hour or so with that statement from the Ethiopian Military chief of staff and also from Prime Minister mentioned saying that theyre now in control of the to grain regional capital of mcalary. Now theres no access at the moment for humanitarian workers and journalists, so its very difficult to verify the various claims that both sides have been making. That these, these statements from the government side come just a few hours after reports of fighting and shelling in airstrikes in the city that you mention the t. P. I. Left described it as a heavy bombardment. The government side repeatedly been saying that theyve been doing, taking great care not to harm civilians. Now that statement from the Prime Minister said, now that the federal police would continue their work of looking for the t. P. A. Less leadership to try and bring them to court. And this leads us to say one of the key questions now is, where are betty p. L. S. Leaders if theyre not in mccalla. And secondly, whats happened to the substantial numbers of troops in the military hardware that they control . Now, Prime Minister ahmed statement said that thousands of soldiers who had been held hostage by the tepee left have now been freed. But we dont know how many more still on the t. P. L. S. Command. And if possibly the t. B. s leadership and these fighters and military hardware have fled into the surrounding mountains, it is an incredibly complex situation, isnt that in the story is probably got some way to go before it reaches any kind of resolution. But tell us a little bit of how we got to this point. Lity p. L. F. Dominated ethiopias politics and its military for almost 30 years until 2 years ago when Prime Minister took over followed nationwide protests in different parts of the country. Promised reforms in as part of those reforms to great leadership, the p. L. F. Said that they were being on fairly targeted during crackdowns on corruption and past rights abuses. So this led to growing out of the t. V. L. F. Felt they were being squeezed out from the powerful positions that they once held. There was a breakdown in communications. Both sides stopped recognizing each other. Thats what led to this Armed Conflict beginning just over 3 weeks ago. Now that the p. L. F. Began, as a guerrilla rebel group, hiding out in the mountains in the to great province. They fought and successfully overthrew the regime that came before them. A marxist regime that dominated ethiopia in the 1970 s. In the 1980 s. And then after being controlled for nearly 30 years, they are now apparently out holding at least to the government side claims. But they may well have retreated into those very same mountains. A lot of people fear that indeed, as he said, this may not be over and theres a chance of a guerrilla war still proceeding from here. Indeed, or at markham, thanks about every time he is the Deputy Director of the Africa Program at the International Crisis group. And he says, the conflict is not only between ethiopias National Army into grown fighters. Theres also the fact that the Ethiopian Army is not necessarily working alone. There are other actors in this conflict between besides the Government Forces and, and, and it is great forces diplomats in the region that are now confirming the involvement of the Eritrean Army in westie gray. Theyve also been allied militia from neighboring ammara region. And mara, special forces from the neighboring region, these 2 regions amar and also have, you know, between them. And theres been contested territories that both their Political Leadership sounds have claimed these disputed territories as there is. And so theres an enormous an ethnic on the ground and weve seen reports earlier this month of, of the massacres that have taken place in western to grow. So, you know, notwithstanding this particular days military campaign, theres a lot of other actors in, in the it is part of this conflict who dont answer necessarily directly. What weve been talking about, the 10s of thousands of people who fled the fighting lieutenant from hibbett morgan, who is in the camp in got there, if in sudan, which is where many of them are being relocated. Oh morocco. But a refugee camp here in sudan got a lot of state has expanded since it was 1st opened just over 2 weeks ago. Now when it was 1st, opened it hosted about a few 100 if european refugees fleeing from the conflict in the sacred region. Now the camp hosts more than 7000, if european refugees and this place is becoming sort of a permanent shelter for them until things ease back home and they say its safe for them to return. Now this is the only formal refugee camp here and about of state despite Saddam Hussein more than 43000 if you can refugees over the past 3 weeks escaping from the conflict in the tigra region. The other centers have Reception Center in neighboring customers state and look to here in lot of state are all just Reception Centers, including village 8, which is about 30 kilometers from the sudan is the opium border that hosts more than 15000. 00 if european refugees. Now most of them here stand under the scorching sun waiting for food aid and waiting for food distribution. But they say that this is much better than being back home, not knowing what they could have faced. Many families speak of leaving their loved ones behind of witnessing people being slaughtered of atrocities. They say that forced them to flee and come here to sudan seeking refuge, but aid organizations say that they need help in terms of responding to the influx of refugees. They say that in the coming 6 months, they expect up to 200000 its european refugees to come here to sudan seeking refuge from the to great region. Because of the conflict. Should the fighting continue. They say that they need Financial Assistance or funding for the program to be able to respond to this refugee crisis that is unfolding. Because sudan as a government, despite hosting them already hosts nearly 1000000 other refugees in various other states and therefore will not be able to cope with this crisis on its own. So while the aid organizations are sounding the alarm and calling for supposed to be able to respond to this current unfolding refugee crisis, people here say they will wait to hear and till things are safe before they go back home and take their region in ethiopia. Lets have a morgan, well have more on the story later in the bulletin, including an update from the uns the uns high commissioner for refugees. Hell tell us more about what support is needed for those whove crossed into sudan. And as the number of coronavirus cases surge in the united states, Health Experts warn the worst is yet to come. If you come crowned African Champions of peace and protect her. Right. Thats coming up, peter spoke. So iran is vowing retaliation over the assassination of the iranian scientists. Motion for visiting the countrys leaders are blaming israel for the killing. Israel has declined to comment for preside. They was killed in an ambush. On friday, after his car was attacked by unknown gunmen said, bank reports now in tehran, protesters outside parliament, demanding revenge. And for iran to stop new claims, but actions by the International Atomic energy agency. The anger follows the killing of top scientists to mosques in phuket is that it gunned down by attackers in his car, in a suburb east and thrown on friday. His family speaking on state t. V. , also called for revenge. A naughty chair. He was a scientist and at the same time, a very kind and affectionate husband who loved his country. I plead to others to continue his path and to not let his blood go in vain. His path was very important for him and his blood was spilled for it. As far as i tell, the worlds arrogance, that if they were afraid of this mosque and this countrys progress, and if they were worried about progress made by this mosque, you must be scared of his blood a 1000 times more. The worlds arrogance has to know that by killing people like fuckers are the this path of progress will not be stopped. President Hassan Rouhani blamed israel for the assassination of irans, most Senior Scientist been more am what i would say. The relevant authorities will respond to this crime in a timely an appropriate manner. The iranian nation is smarter and wiser than falling into the trap of the zionist conspiracy. The Supreme Leader, ayatollah khomeini, also pledged to retaliation, asking for the perpetrators to be firmly prosecuted for the work of others to continue. Iran has launched an investigation in what is an embarrassing breach of security. But political factions differ about what the response should be. This latest incident will impact on any plans u. S. President elect. Joe biden has for talks with iran on the nuclear deal known as a joint comprehensive plan of action or j. C. Reached in 2015. I think it will make any negotiations on the j. C. P. A way, much more complicated and not just from the american side. I think its going to be difficult enough for president biden, but its further complicated by the reaction in iran to this killing, one of their most Senior Scientists. And you have the Upcoming Elections in iran in a few months. So its going to make it even more difficult for the moderates. Who would like to see a pattern up in the jay c. P. O. Way. For now, the world is watching and waiting to see what iran will do next. Irans reformists want to save the 2015 nuclear deal. That means waiting for joe biden to take office and hope the u. S. Rejoins undef sanctions. The conservatives seem to have run out of patience. I want to stop i. A. E. A. Inspections. Others want a strong response. The country has fired one, but no one knows where, when or what form that will take assad big al jazeera, the front. Lets hear now from aljazeera senior political analyst mark bashara explains why so many top officials are blaming israel for this escalation. Well, if it is by precedence or by pattern, it is rather if it is by new york times, rather serious reporting depending on 2 intelligence sources and one israeli source, it is again, is read. If it is by the usual judgment of who benefits it is. Israel, if its judged by Prime Minister netanyahu was rather ironic and 3 spawns today that i have a lot of great things to do. But there is a few things i cannot talk about. He is basically emphasizing affirming that he did give the order to carry out that. So in probably every possible way he could see that israel, theyd carry the, i think im nuts, but not least when, a number of former u. S. Officials like c. I. , a former head john brennan, condemned attacks and other say, why arent you could demagogue because israel did it clearly, israel did it with the israelis will tell you as others with an op, agree with that, that whenever they get the chance to carry such an attack that theyve been planning for, for, for a long time, theyve got it, theyre gardeners. But if its today yesterday or next week, but clearly the israelis have been escalating their planning against iran in order to take advantage of that window between when the elections took place on november 3rd and january 20th, when president biden, thanks place, theres a bit of a vacuum there, and clearly trump and mr. Should would support what ever israel does as its been made clear by some retreating on the part of the american president. Basically giving a tacit support for such action. There have been scuffles between police in france. Protests have descended into violence with shops, headlights and tear gas fired. It follows a peaceful rally where tens of thousands marched against a new bill aimed at restricting the filming in the publishing of Police Officers. Images. Critics say the law would stifle attempts to Expose Police misconduct and brutality. Well, the protests have been fueled by a recent video of paris Police Beating a black music producer in his studio 4 of the officers involved have been arrested the president of mental micro. So the incident has brought shame on the country and he called for his government to fight discrimination to restore confidence in the police. Lets go now to our correspondent whos following events in paris and tell us about these protests and whats been happening where there were some clashes between some demonstrators and Police Officers. I mean, you might get to see behind me that theres a row of cars there. All the bones out shops have been smashed as well, but it has to be said. Those were relatively minor incidents and watch what it was by a knowledge of very peaceful protests. Protests, thousands of people gathered in the center of paris to rally against part of this new security law thats being proposed by the french government. Now the crews in the north, as so many people are upset about is one that would basically mean that the future disseminate. Any images of Police Officers, online broadcast or printed and published would be cracked down on by the government. What the government is saying is important to do that in order to protect the identity of Police Officers who often do a very difficult in often very dangerous situations. But what protestors are saying, what they told us today is that this is basically an erosion of freedom of information expression and an erosion of rights. But it must be noted, this protest comes in a week in which weve seen some rather high profile incidents. All Police Violence here in france, we saw a video which showed Police Officers, brutally beating producer. And also in the week police were accused of using Excessive Force while clearing a migrant camp in the center of paris. So the debate around Police Violence really fueled by these incidents and thats of course peoples minds today. And the touches said, tell us more about the government response to the president saying the incidence of brought shame on the country. But what is he capable of doing about it . Well, thats the question. I mean, there is an awful lot of pressure on the government at the moment. Weve seen the French Interior minister, one of the main supporters of this know hes going to be actually questioned in the National Assembly on monday about these recent incidents of Police Violence, the Prime Minister had said that he was going to set up a commission to try and perhaps rewrite the article in this law because there is such a debate over it. But that was talked down by some members of his own party thats not going to be happening within a couple of really seems in crisis. And the french president emanuel michael, posting on social media that these images of Police Violence are shameful, is not in keeping with the republican values. Hes called on his government to try and come up with some solutions and propose ways to try and reinforce confidence between the police and the public. Again, its hard to see what exactly the governments going to come up with because what most people said to us today here at this protest is what very want is for this law simply to be withdrawn or in touch. Thanks very much today senator. In paris, were going to take this on now. Im going to speak to dex estacado whos the representative of Foreign Relations at the committee for justice and truth for adama. He joins us live by skype from paris, texas to kind of welcome to the program called 24. 00. This new bill aimed at restricting new filming in publishing of Police Officers. Images has been the focus of these protests, but the, the resentment goes much deeper than just about police brutality. Just tell us more. It definitely does. Goes deeper. You go deeper because of the fact that those things have been going on for a lot. A lot o
