The changing face of brazils politics. Were looking at how the black lives Matter Movement has impacted its electoral process. And in support. A historic win for argentina is rugby team for the 1st time ever. Theyve beaten 3 time world champions using so we will start with the escalating situation in ethiopia. Where forces in the ticker region have confirmed they did attack a military base, which sparked a federal government offensive in the area, an official from the to great Peoples Liberation front. The tea p. L. F. Says it was a preemptive strike. Well, since this fighting began, its escalated rapidly with reports of rockets hitting civilian areas, which in turn has forced thousands to flee. The country Human Rights Commission is sending a team to investigate the reports of a massacre. In one area, the government blames forces loyal to, to graze leaders, which is an allegation they deny. So thousands of people have fled the violence, many of them crossing over into sudan. Thats where hippa, morgan is in, which is near the border more if you can refugees arrive at medina in sudans good out of state. Theyre fleeing fighting in ethiopias degree region. Arrived here 4 days ago with her children and pregnant sister from a card. She says the fighting in the region forced her and her family to flee with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Then that again i learned that we saw people being slaughtered. There was blood all over. We fled because we didnt want to die. Some women lost their husbands, we came with nothing but our lives, no money. These clothes were given to me by the people here. Thousands of refugees have crossed into sudan over the past week. Many recounts similar stories from the region where the Ethiopian Government has imposed a telecommunication blackout since the start of an offensive against the Peoples Liberation front. The government wants to get rid of the chief. So weve heard the people are living in conflict. Their people have been slaughtered with knives, pregnant women have had their bellies open, and the government is bombing civilians and killing us all. So the news authorities have closed borders with since the start of the conflict. And there are challenges in responding to the influx of refugees, aid organizations say theyre shortages in Relief Services which need thats because up until last week, this place was largely an abandoned town. And even though this is a temporary shelter for refugees before the camps elsewhere arrive seeking safety on an already dark him with their own situation. Refugees here say there are shortages of Drinking Water and food. So dense commission for refugees says nearly 1000 people are being richest to daily, and have called for more action to respond to the situation. Resurfacing of refugees here is great, and were hoping to authorities, International Community chain to be in because the situation is unbearable. There are so many refugees to come in, most of them walking for hours and days. Most of them are scattered in farms nearby, sticking their way here. New refugees are being every hour, the day and her family try to settle into what is now their new home. She says she doesnt know how long theyll be here. But until the fighting stops, she says you want to go back to make in ethiopia. People more going on to 0. Medina, to money and good life. So damn, lets go back across the border now, muhammad is in gondor, which is on the border of that region. The hi mohammed. So 1st of all this admission from the t p l. S. The forces saying yes, it was us, we struck 1st. Yes, come on. This is huge by every measure because from that time the Prime Minister has accused the tea p. L. F. That they have cut it out of this on the basis of they have loudly rejected that statement. Saying they did not carry out the attack and have actually used the Ethiopian Defense forces on the 1st bullet. Now with this admission from, sicko today, in the traditional of the p. L. O. , it shows that there is no im in doubt that it was the who carried out and he says that they did that because one side, the wall bows. And if you have been defense, will this round in them on all the other was is highest at 40. That is the president who is most any friendly to them because of the wars their fault with he him when they were in power, the tepee, a lot of fun. He said they did what was supposed to have been done, a preemptive strike trying to change the law. And these days we didnt mobilize those who did not agree with us that we in 45 seconds, they had finished about the operation altogether. Then what does it mean for the conflict more widely . I mean, is there, would there be any sign of things deescalating . I wonder if it could even increase again . Well, theres been no letup of course in the fighting with the integrated region. The fighting so far has involved cautious on the ground between Ground Troops as well as have been carried out by the european Defense Forces against targets, including the city of mackellar, which is the cup, little of the 2 great region, also through a lot of holes have been targeted and then there is the absolutely do. Well, of course weve seen another phase of the war yesterday evening when rockets in london in both the going down and airports, causing some damage. Of course, we have not been told yet of any casualties, but theres been damage to the buildings of both airports, something that also 30 got that figure a liberation front. It is definitely still well armed, despite claims by the government of destroyed their post strikes that have been carried out in the past week in ethiopia. Thank you for that. Update to another dispute. Now, the final day for Ethnic Armenians to leave areas of nagornokarabakh, the areas that will be handed over to azerbaijan, some even set fire to their homes as they left the 1st handover of armenian controlled land to azerbaijan is expected to happen on sunday, part of a peace deal, which ended the 6 weeks of fighting and indeed decades of differences over that disputed territory. Right . It was the only, lots of innocent children are nino crying and want to return home. Its very hard searches so wrote in the end, we will blow up or put a fire to the house, not to leave anything to muslims. Right, so were on both sides of the starting with Hoda Abdelhamid involved in this. She has more on the iraqi wish. Well actually coming down this road, heading into our proper and facing uncertain future development. Now weve been told the way theyre going to care about which is that district where about 4. 00 to 5000. 00 who are living. And i have to say over the past few days, all we have seen is a village, one after the other. People have already evacuated the area. Weve seen some people burning their houses, saying that they were not going to leave them for anyone else to live in meaning as there is if and when they come back. Our lines cut also a really great sense of loss among the few remaining. There chopping wood, theyre still taking whatever they have left to join their families across the border. So you really get a sense that people are fleeing. Theyre desperately scared about what could happen next. Even though we have seen the russian peace keepers making their way in, in large numbers, very long convoys for armenians. That would be really a symbol of protection. But they dont feel safe at this stage. Still regardless, and they have by and large, already left the district and some of his in the capital, we called it a peace deal, an end to the 6 weeks of fighting. But really, for us by john, i guess theyll be saying this is a big what they are, and there is anger in azerbaijan, about the reports that civilian infrastructure is being damaged. Should be been speaking to a very, whove been whove lost their lands. And how were became refugees about 30 years ago when they were forced out of their lands. And they think they are saying that this shows that the armenians do not want peace and they want to destroy everything which wasnt even there is to begin with. In the areas that are very forces have retaken there, the curfew, which has come into effect on the areas that are under their minute for your forces, their civilian infrastructure. The police stations, which were moved out in 1992, have been asked to come back and try and put some semblance of civilian infrastructure in place. But these are mostly areas where civilians have fled. Very few people remain and mostly held by military personnel, obviously trying to get access to these areas. But weve been told by the minute the ministry of defense that these are littered with not mines and explosives that armenians have now on the way out. We just spoke to some people in the d. Mining operation who told us that they have lost in the last 48 hours there who tried to go to the area to make sure that it is safe for people to go back into. Guess. There was a note, lot of hope and anticipation that there will be some sort of peace, but it is going to take time. This is being taken 3 decades in the making. And it is going to take possibly a few months before you can actually see people going back and some semblance of normalcy returning. Theres a lot of hope from azerbaijan on the inclusion of turkish troops and not just the russians because of the posix period. Since the people of the area had been so ripped through, they dont complete the process there are. Right. I want to ask you about the peacekeepers. A lot souls on ben doesnt it then to try to keep things under control. What is there, or what is their brief and then how long are they supposed to be there . So far, what we know is that the russian peacekeepers are going to come in, theyre going to push out any fight is from the armenian side, which remain in the various areas. No, go in a car bomb and theyre going to move closer to words areas and then the central parts of nagornokarabakh right after that, the russian peacekeepers are going to tell their Border Forces that they can come in and secure the border between armenia and azerbaijan. And that is when we will get to see what does it mean weve been speaking to many brits now and theyre not even clear on how is it going to work. There is going to be a drawing mechanism of peacekeeping centers, which is going to be close to the line of contact and then turkish troops are going to be present with the russians as well. So theres a lot that is still being negotiated by all sides. The armenians and other by danis arent directly talking to each other. Theyre talking by mediators, and much of that peace. But it was a wide ranging has to be negotiated on the table to figure out what will it mean for the people of both sides who can come back to these areas which armenians and other by danis call their own. Thank you for that update from baku, azerbaijan, to libya where rival factions have agreed to hold nationwide elections in December Next year. This was announced at the u. N. Sponsored talks in tunis, final session taking place later on saturday. Aiming to appoint an interim government representatives have also been meeting and search in central libya focused on implementing the cease fire deal that was signed last month. Here is in tunis, National Elections to be held next december on the 24th december 2021. Thats Christmas Eve next year. Why that date . Well, thats the 70th anniversary of libyas declaration of independence through the united nation, the United Nations, from that in and france there where disputed elections back in 2014, after which the judiciary and Law Enforcement completely collapsed. So its imperative that these elections are done are done right. And that the are take place in a free and fair manner, and thats really whats been going on in tunis all this week. 75 delegates have been humming a its what the u. N. Has been calling a road map, a set of mechanisms to put in place to get to that point where those elections can take place and have a meaningful result, which is to see one single unified libyan government. 6 days of talks in tunis are not going to solve all of libyas problems, but as stephanie williams, the acting cut in boy, she says, you know, youve got to try and solve some of the problems. Because the status quo is intolerable status quo equals t. V. Nation. And thats really whats kind of one of the longer the 6700000 libyan citizen. This deserve better than that. Its 40 minutes past the hour. Heres whats coming up. 5 percent of the folks that they entered the hospital with covais dont make it out. Sounding the alarm and urging people to act u. S. States see a steep rise in corona virus infections ahead of the countrys holiday season. Also digging up the past columbia resumes examinations as the country comes to terms with a dark chapter of its history. And in sport, the pretournament favorite had some problems at the masters and he will have bats and the rest of the sport later. Coronavirus news now and there are warnings that europe will face a hard winter amid a resurgence of infections that start with which is reported its highest number of new cases, almost 41000 in a single day regional leaders, a warning to health system. There is that breaking point. Germany had cases of surge there as well, almost 23000. 00 in the last 24 hours. Officials are set to meet on monday to discuss if the current restrictions did. In fact, slow the spread of the disease in france, the 2nd National Lockdown wont be eased for at least 2 weeks, but it appears to be working. The country is seeing a drop in infections. And there is some cautious signs of optimism in the u. K. As well. With statistics showing the spread of the virus appears to be slowing down there. So lets go to london and talk to paul brennan and paul. Lets start with that. When we talk about cautious optimism, how cautious very cautious. Its very difficult to read much into one day to another statistics when the overall trend is quite clearly still very high. That said though any potential glimmer of hope is always seized upon by both the public and the politicians. And one bit of good news is from monday, family and friends of people who have relatives in care homes, for example, will be able to get regular testing to enable them to visit those relatives in those cat homes. Because at the moment the residents in care homes have been effectively shut away from from the outside world. And its not good for them or for the people who are wanting to actually see them. But the glimmer of hope has got to be put into context as well because the advice thats been released by the Scientific Advisory group for it meant emergencies. The governments scientific advisor, sage is saying that if there is a return after the current lockdown, which finishes at the start of december to the previous tiered system, then there will be a resurgence. And we will be effectively back to the where we were before this National Lockdown was imposed. So its pretty bleak advice from the scientific advisors and theyre warning that unless the, our number, this reproduction rate is kept very low then christmas and those kind of religious festivals around the end of the year could also be put into down to so far as family mainly goes and also makes me just think about the season as well. I mean, not to state the obvious, but it looks pretty miserable behind you there today in london. Just a reminder that winter is coming. You would already have high numbers of illnesses and flus and then if you add coronavirus on top of that, my goodness. And it is the pressure on the hospitals. That is the biggest concerns. Politicians, the idea that hospitals become increasingly and rapidly full of coronavirus patients, meaning that other patients, theoretically even down to car Crash Victims for example, might be turned away in accidents and emergencies. Not clearly, thats an extreme hypothetical example, but its a, its a consideration that politicians are actually actively considering and trying very hard to avoid. So when there is the economic damage that is being done by these lockdowns and the population and businesses who are complaining bitterly about the restrictions that are being put on them. Boris johnson, the Prime Minister and the health secretary, matt hancock. Keep on coming back to this point again and again about its about the Health Service and about maintaining a functioning Health Service. Paul brennan, joining us from london, the senate. I thank you poll. Right. Were going to look at Northern Ireland now which has been under a coronavirus lockdown for 4 weeks and faces another 2. There are signs the measures have been effective there, but the economic costs, like paul was just talking about. They are great, especially in areas which are soon to feel the effects of braggs that as well. John, how does a dairy and strapping close to the irish border . This is true burn peeking out of the mall valley of the irish border and just a month ago, the most covert infected town in the u. K. Weeks of lockdown in Northern Ireland has brought the infection rate down by 70 percent. But the cost to the economy of strabane and neighboring londonderry, reliant on cross border trade and soon to face the full effects of drugs. It is hard to calculate. There isnt that Spare Capacity to deal with a downturn in a city that really is still struggling with the long term impacts of the closure of the shipping industry. But yes, economically, as i say, 2008, the economic recession was much worst in the areas that were already weaker. Dairy is the weakest economy. Darien street band of the weakest economies in Northern Ireland. And they will be the ones that suffered the most hundreds of bombings in a town of just over 10000, people took their toll during decades of struggle against british rule. But one shopkeeper told me this is worse in a clothing shop across the street. Another said the lights are on, but no ones buying them honest or even a certain amount of optimism for one of the next 6 months or 3 sort of grasp of the times. Even though its a tough road, im trying to be optimistic
