Lets not speak to our correspondent on web hes been following developments from nairobi for us in neighboring kenya malcolm its been more than a month now since this conflict began and says theyve taken care of that fighting is clearly still ongoing on the ground can you give us a sense of the situation that. The u. S. Offer is for the coordinate to coordination of humanitarian affairs is that it has reports of continuing fighting in many parts of the 2 gray region last week Prime Minister abbott said that the Government Forces were in control of the region the Government Military operation was over that followed Government Troops taking control of the regional capital of macquarie but their enemy that the p. L. F. Said that it wasnt over they vowed to continue fighting know that its reported still controls thousands of fighters and substantial stocks of military Hardware Research is so that thousands of civilians being killed in the fighting the rules have been reports of massacres of civilians by militia aligned to both sides the leaders of both sides deny it it is very difficult for anyone to verify any of these claims because theres almost no access for humanitarian workers human rights workers and journalists now come up there with all the nations for us from nairobi thanks so much malcolm well we can now speak to young egeland he is the secretary general of the Norwegian Refugee Council and he joins us now from khartoum mr egeland thank you so much for your time today i want to start with the situation inside tikrit i know its been very hard as malcolm was saying to work out just whats going on inside there the Communications Blackout limited access i know that your organization the n. R. C. Was one of the few working inside great before this all started what is the situation like there now. Well we were very worried we had 180 words there 90 on the ground but many of them had to flee themselves this is been in war zone for some time now 96000 every train and refugees came to t. Great because they felt they were safe that they say that they played it from persecution in every trivia not only dont know at all or hopefully convoys will reach there is parts of the great now monday just over the weekend and all that has been this deal apparently struck to try to get aid access into t. V. Had has that deal shifted anything for you at all. Well you know we hope it will shift in the sense that we will have access now at next week for the post time in more than a month we did this tribute in october. But since then we couldnt do distributions we couldnt be with a refugees and nor the other people. We know of violence in there im now in. I was in a refugee camp just came back from there the people who clean from the grave tell about violence they tell about widespread insecurity of course there are many more internally displaced inside t. Great then there are the 50000 refugees who have come here we need access were glad it seems to happen next week and mr egeland you mentioned being in in sudan at those camps i know you were at. And you were saying that you were surprised at seeing so many men in the camp but why did that surprise you. It goes in all about the camps ive been visiting over the last 20 years theres been between 70 and 90 percent women and children in the camps now there are camps with more than 50 percent men. That is because these young men and men were students teachers engineers promise. People in secure they feel but they are being that they are at risk they are poor they have fled many of them where heartbroken they had left the family speak by and. Still they feel it is not safe for them to return there have been these allegations of a vicious violence on both sides really and i know this is a conflict that we always thought could become seriously entrenched do you think any kind of resolution is like anytime soon. Im hoping. There isnt a baby the Prime Minister has been able to come under regional conflicts mediated peace between at your p. R. And eritrea hopefully there will now also be talks reconsolidation coal and when she great we do not need another conflict and not not the refugee dishonest on the horn of africa there are too many people suffering there from the poor hand here in sudan of course there is a and they cannot make crisis they dont believe there is a 1000000 refugees to start with 2000000 internally displaced people now pitted bounce people preen over commit the opium it just shows we need we need Peace Processes we need to or solutions we need people to be able to return in safety. Mr economics so i just picking up on something you said that you mentioned that you were hopeful that the author of the Prime Minister would engage in a Peace Process hes the one who essentially invaded t. J. Or started this conflict after we saw growing tensions here and hes also said that hes going to see it through to the end do you think that its likely that he is going to be the one to initiate some kind of innovation why not i mean i dont know if there has to be initiatives for peace talks reconsideration on both sides that has been violence on both sides thats been that theres been a lot of back to chair so lets hope they can be a fresh start treaty many spent billions so drawn into this rivalry between men and we need to see an end to it we hear monetary funds are willing and able to provide assistance here and we are already doing a lot with access we humanitarian relief but the has to be a political solution to this problem. Yun egeland secretary general of the Norwegian Refugee Council thanks so much for being with us mr evans i wish you all the best with the aid effort. Now the Foreign Ministers of cats and kuwait say there has been some progress made to resolve the gulf dispute has now been on to an illegal land sea and air blockade by saudi arabia bahrain the u. A. E. And egypt since june 2017 the Foreign Ministers say constructive talks have taken place between the 4 nations and they all want to reach a final agreement president from Senior Adviser jared question i recently visited riyadh and starhawk both for talks quite foreign minister gave a short statement a while ago saying that progress has been made. If i thought of all the as a constructive and fruitful talks have taken place recently where all the parties have stressed their desire to reach a final agreement and resolutions to preserve the region stability and harmony maintain the interest of the peoples within this context we express our appreciation for the latest if its pledge or pushing the us president s advice about it we have achieved set in for a better set septum point of time more than a year ago and then things has your down and right now there are some more moments that we hope that this will put and for the best price because we see and we believe actually that got a few and it is very important for the security of the region for the stability of that region and for for the sake of our people this need this crisis needs to end marwan Bashar Al Jazeera senior political analyst has more on this. I think we are. Heading towards the last phase if you where before. Clearer more comprehensive statement is made about the resolution of the gulf crisis my sense is that perhaps there are one or 2 issues. To be ironed out and and theres guns that has to be some sort of an ok engine for them to actually sign on whatever the deal is now we all know that that is the gulf a gulf summit happening towards maybe next week or so right usually it is in the middle of the in the beginning a middle of december and i think probably the d going to be a good occasion for the kuwaitis to introduce the new agreement between qatar and the other gulf countries so all in all im probably heading towards that and 2nd the all the signs are positive i think its just worth mentioning just for our own sanity that push not played an Important Role in the crisis itself 30 years ago when apparently according to former secretary of state rex tillerson. Questioner knew when he was in saudi arabia doing that meeting between President Trump and god and his gulf allies that there was something cooking against caught up and he remained silent he didnt even tell his own secretary of state so really when it comes to question i mean its nice that everyone you know is being thankful and appreciative and all but i think when it comes to solving this crisis this has been a goal solution to go from. Well more than one and a half 1000000 people have now died from covert 19 world wide a 3rd of those deaths happened in just the last 2 months with several countries reporting record numbers of deaths and cases the resurgence of the virus is stalling the u. S. Economys recovery new numbers show it added 245000 jobs back in november thats the slowest month of growth since recovery began back in may the u. S. Also remains the west the worlds worst affected country its currently refusing reviewing the fire as a vaccine for approval and hopes to release a decision this month the u. K. Which was the 1st western country to approve that vaccine has come under fire from you regulate says theyve suggested that their approach may have been too hasty or lets be tried correspondent alan fischer for as he was at the white house alan pressure clearly on the u. S. To get there that scene roll out started. Certainly the trumpet ministration would have wanted to be among the 1st if not the 1st in the west to approve any corona virus vaccine and they were aware that the United Kingdom was about to give approval as stephen hunt whos the head of the food and Drug Administration was cold here to a meeting with mark meadows whos Donald Trumps chief of staff stephen has described that meeting in the last few hours as robust that is normally diplomatic language for people show king at one another essentially we suspect that the f. D. A. Came under pressure to move a lot more quickly but the reality is that the f. D. A. Has announced that there will be hearings into the efficacy of the vaccines on december the 10th those will be public hearings they will be able to go over all the evidence provided by the Drug Companies people will be able to ask questions and then after that the f. D. A. Will decide whether or not to give approval for the use of those vaccines is expected everything will go through and probably pretty quickly as well so you can start to see somewhere in the region of 20000000 vaccine doses being sent out around the country front line workers to be among the 1st to receive those vaccines and then the United States is predicting that the Drug Companies will be able to produce and also distribute somewhere in the region of 500000000 to 1000000000 vaccine doses before the end of 2021 know the u. S. Has bought a lot of those vaccines the think that by certainly march april that extra year theyll be 50000000 doses that will be circulating in the United States remember theres got to be 2 doses to make the whole vaccine work and so with a population of 320000000 its going to take 614000000 doses to be circulated so its a big logistical issue but certainly the f. D. A. Believes that they will be able to move into the process by just after that meeting on december the 10th thats kind of going to take some time alamedas latest u. S. Job numbers also that have just come out the last couple of hours its really not looking good. Not great figures i mean the fact that last year the last month they added 610000 job jobs this time it was 245000 significantly dying normally this time of year you would expect there to be a rise in the number of people who are in walk and so the has been a supporter a green of comfort in the fight that the Unemployment Rate has dropped from 6. 9 to 6. 7 but theres no great retail uptick which you would normally get at this time of year simply with the run up to christmas where we have seen increases in jobs they have been warehouse and transport thats not the sort of area that tends to add a lot of jobs but its added a bit 6 months in a row and know that the figures havent been great if again if theres another bright spot its the fact that of the 20000000 jobs that were lost because of the coronavirus theyve i did just over half of those back into the jobs market in the past weve seen donald trump come out into the Briefing Room to to laud the jobs figures when theyve been good news this isnt quite so good hes not going to be overly keen to make a big deal in this and the other reason for that of course is hes no longer running for president the election one month ago thats right it was just one month ago so he doesnt need to campaign on the job figures anymore so i suspect that economists will be disappointed with this not the best news and of course with the idea that the covered by this could get worse over the next couple of months particularly with thanksgiving and christmas seating new breaks then the job figures in the next couple of months might not even be as good as what were seeing today and todays are not good allan fresh air with all the nations for us from washington d. C. Thanks im tom. Well theres plenty more ahead here on this news hour including bangladesh transfers hundreds of richenda refugees to an isolated island despite concerns from the un and other Rights Groups farmers continue to block major routes into the indian capital as their standoff with the government continues and the coronavirus disrupt south africa and England One Day International cricket series peter will have those details for you in school. British Prime Minister porous johnson says brecks of talks with the European Union have reached what he describes as a difficult point the e. U. Says a post breaks a trade deal depends on the u. K. Committing to a level Playing Field for competition rules and standards germany says it wants an agreement but not at any price while frances threaten to veto a bad deal negotiators are hoping to settle on a plan by early next week well lets cross now just want to go she is in victoria london whether its negotiations are taking place so now were hearing that these talks have been incredibly intense and time to be running out with less than a month to get this all sorted what is the mood like there now. But i dont think theres any doubt that the talks are actually extremely critical juncture really what they are having to deal with are the very finite details and of course time is against them this has been a pause of so much concern it has been time and time again so they only have so much time with which to guarantee of a trade agreement between the 2 parties and with those 2 particular points that mention the play of the competition rules as well as the issue on fishing rights as well they seem to be stuck on those 2 particular issues now with the competition rules those are of particular importance to the e. U. You know one of the sacred rules that about the blockhouses the fact that any. That wishes to do a free trade deal with the European Union can not use state subsidies in order to boost companies and of course an interruption in the competition rules as it were it has to be an effect on a fair trade on a on a level Playing Field as it were that is issue which the u. K. Has faced because an approach in a press bricks of world it has wanted to use state subsidies to boost Certain Companies in the u. K. To create a sort of Tech Industry here to rival any other countries in the world the problem is that in using state subsidies its going to contort that competition as well the 2nd issue fishing rights well now the french that is an important issue and to the dutch as well that coastal communities as well they need to go back to their countries and say look we preserve your fishing rights therefore weve weve got our moment and that the u. K. However fishing industry only accounts for 0 point one percent of g. D. P. In the country but it is an important symbolic. Industry as it were and that is being used to try and appear like a strong arm tactics in these negotiations in order to put across the message that the u. K. Is not going to take any deal at any price and theres a lot of strong feeling there for us in london with all the latest thanks so much tony.
