Im joining with sports as chief thomas says, athletes of the take a game should get vaccinated against it. 19 point before we will begin this hour as we have a lot recently the situation in northern ethiopia, where now the 2 great rebels have refused to give him the government. 3 days ago, Prime Minister ahmed issued an ultimatum. He said, stand down or you will face more attacks. And on tuesday he delivered on that the air force says it carried out strikes near the regions main city of mecca. Lay the primary based as for the 2 great Peoples Liberation front, the life which governs in that region. It says his force is an opera pairing a final attack, and he says the conflict will end only when the life is brought to justice and its leaders have been replaced. Youve got the u. N. And foreign leaders calling for mediation, which is a request thats pretty much been ignored by both sides. In fact, the government deployed extra troops, as you say, on monday. And as more soldiers have moved in those living there, i getting out in their droves, the u. N. Is now calling this a full scale humanitarian crisis. Its now up to 27000, people who have crossed the border into neighboring sudan. This extrusion is very you know, what 50000 people, you know, have no easy life might be able to do services unit. Sure. How do you see these pretty Close Knit Community and other Service Providers . And you can see some stories of this just in some provision, much more needs to be done. Lets get an update now from our correspondent mohammed joe in ethiopia. The Government Forces have their eyes on the killing of the couple of the tickling region as they say theyve been cutting out plagues on the outskirts of this couple of the to carry region and security sources. Tell us that the next 48 hours will be really crucial in these flight. The European Security forces cut out the multipronged of talk on mccann at a couple of particular region to get a Peoples Liberation phonte is putting on. This has lost some towns as close as 100 columns of cold and theyre cleaning, cleaning for most of the past one off week in Government Forces, i have been Prime Minister these folks, its something that ive been outside tonight where the government and other sort of they say they are sure that the 16 divisions from at a train fighting alongside Prime Minister, these forces, its worth reminding you of where this unrest in the Northern Region to cry has come from. So its a semi autonomous area. Its governed by the Peoples Liberation front and is estimated to have up to 250000. 00 fighters to go. It was the front line for ethiopia during its 2 year conflict with eritrea and large amounts of military equipment are still stored there. And despite, i think the grains are only making up 5 percent of the population. They control the national government. The navy, 3 decades before Prime Minister came to power in 2018. That shift in power turned to tension. After leaders defied the government twice 1st, they refused to join his coalition party. And then in september, they held elections against the orders of the central government. Its so very pleased to say that the big brother is joining us now. He is the ethiopian minister in charge of democratization, and is on skype from minister. Thank you for your time. We appreciate it. I have read you quoted as saying that your Prime Minister ahmed is a man of peace and that he is committed to peace in the country and that is the, which is the problem. However, hes now talking about fighting that until they give up, basically, and giving them ultimatums that doesnt sound peaceful. The 2 things dont go together. Well, you know that you didnt mean just people who wanted it, but it didnt force standing. Going to see is a way of ensuring these then is the only thing available. The only choice available to do is to pray for peace. So thats what hes agreed. It looked at. And its also so obviously standing on the way to peace in iraq. But youre saying its left with no choice about, well, thats a 1st, im going to interrupt you minister because you keep saying theres no choice, theres no choice to fight. Theres no choice. There is a choice you could talk and all the mediation suggestions that have been made of being rejected by the government and the life as well. Why reject mediation efforts which could help the situation . The government has no problem with mediation, but you know, the detail is short and the footage of our Defense Forces are sort of just who we are in our desire to defend. Again, people from any possible who want to go that would possibly and wish it well and as of course, it will give no its only happened of tippit, which is a couple of being anything. How Little People it isnt a mass killing. Were going to act is done so, but there are conditions, you know, there are conditions of the bill that has to meet. They have to hand over those top leadership of the people that are in ballinger perpetration of this crime should be handed over to us just what under the people who go it should be should also be freed. And the members of functioning, government of Defense Forces and number of things can, can be listed. We cannot on that, which is with all these things and the such a school and sort of under the gun people to go. If there is open to defend the ticket and people from any possible for admission, you are a minister of transportation, sorry to interrupt you, are minister of democratization. Ethiopia is a country made up of different regions of different of different groups of different tribes. Doesnt that need to be taken into account because everything youve described there, it doesnt sound like a democratic process. That sounds like just demands . No, or this is a democratic process if your p. R. Is comprised of more than 75 feet in the nationalities and all of them know we are talking about the detail as to how they got the living together peacefully in a way that is exemplary to the rest of the world. So it was it, again, people that did, everybody dont have any problem here is that you have slipped from the belief in doing and living in those areas or benefiting from to be as they are coming in must chanting. Were going on about our business force. So this is about how good clean element which is of the deal. If that survivor is saluki us who insane thing and no stopping chaos. Thats what it is. And you cannot be sure you cannot meet the demand of this group that has elevated all of these 2 in lending to us minister about mr. Ayres. So are, if you are still close to us becoming a democracy, as you know, i think that we have taken a number of measures that want to hurt us in minds of many. So i was awarded, we have become an annual inspection to, to make sure, i think, i mean, is there one of those that where, where we have an example here or one kind of course is that because of his own religion, when it comes to him, organization ok, what about the 2527000 people now . Of your country, men and women who had to flee to sudan and face an uncertain future that they have. Now, there is fighting going on there. It is not just you, it is a t p l f and the government which are fighting there. But look what its doing to your people. What about them . Where was that . Were very sorry that this happened. Were working or weve consulted with them and to bring them back and it allows them to continue to live your ordinary lives in normal life. You know, this area actually under the control detail of it wasnt saying here was some was a simple way that he believed. So i was in, we were all, all busy running from this commission. So we got them and hes committed for us. The citizens of ours to come back and redo their life and where working to accept that is the minister did you have to make your response . The response to i was meeting them, come back home and receive the last that they got the ok minister democratisation. We thank you very much for your time minister. Thank you for joining us. Thank you very much. On to other news and at least 80 migrants have been killed and dozens injured. When the engine of a boat exploded in the north atlantic. See this was near cape verde off the western coast of africa, around 150 people thought to be on that boat, most of them from senegal and gambia, but apparently making its way from to spain. Nicholas hark is in dakar, in senegal, following this war news. Do you have it . Well, this explosion happened in the early hours, and so the kept very close guards were alerted by fishermen that were in the vicinity that the explosion took place. When they arrived on the scene, they saw People Holding on to plastic barrels and only to put in provisions or people children, women, men, to holding on to these plastic barrels for their lives. Now some of them were rescued. 80 at least have not have gone missing. It seems that the g. P. S. On this boat really lead them astray. They were headed towards the Canary Islands and that there was an explosion. And these explosion happen. There was another explosion that happened last week when these Fishing Vessels that are not meant to transport. People are so heavy, live latin with people that the engines just cannot run them so they have to use. So the crew has to change the engine, and thats when these explosions happened. So these migrants were headed towards the canary island, where theres already 17000. 00, people come all that have made it to those to be on it of canary island, the mayor of perth. So again, given where most of the migrants are stayed, that he says that his town is overwhelmed. Hotels that are only used to house tourists. Well, now theyre being used to welcome migrants. Now theres a camp there, and the mayor describes it as the camp of shame. He went to visit that camp and the press hasnt been able to go on the ground there. He says that migrants are staying there in squalid conditions. They spend at least 4 days without taking a shower, at least 40 of them have been infected with coded coronavirus. The red cross has set up a camp just nearby, and the aid agencies fear that there is an unfolding refugee crisis happening in the coast of the Canary Islands. And yet that hasnt stopped people from making that journey. So its going to thank you. Its just such a familiar story. Everything youve outlined then it was so familiar, people from north africa, west africa trying to get through to your remind our viewers of, you know, why they keep doing it, what theyre trying to get away from and what theyre hoping to come to welcome all, theyre not fleeing war, theyre fleeing the Economic Opportunities that they dont have at home. And this has been this actually a difficult year for people who are from senegal or gambia or the rocket, which make up the bulk of those that have made it across to the islands of the Canary Islands. And the reason that there are so many people that try to make this dangerous journey, despite the explosions, despite the death, is that there are many more the have actually made it across. And they have successfully made it to europe. And that is Holding People pushing people to take that dangerous journey. What has happened in the course of 2020, of course, is the current Virus Outbreak despite there being a low death toll in a country like senegal. Again, yeah, the economic fallout has been dire and this has really pushed people to take that journey. Especially miners. Now theres been a number of 17 year olds, 14 year old have to have died on this journey. And authorities in senegal just yesterday arrested, a trafficker, arrested a father for involuntary manslaughter, for of sending his, his children across to the mediterranean. That but that despite the risk, they continued to take this journey, jamal strode nicholas, thank you. Hadleys 36 civilians have been killed in an attack on 2 villages in democratic republic of congo. It happened in beni in the northeast. An attack that began on monday night continued into the morning rebels from the Ugandan Allied Democratic forces are suspected of being responsible. 40 minutes past the hour. Heres whats coming up for you. Anger on the streets of bangkok because protesters are once again hit with water cannon. Police trying to stop the antigovernment demonstrations. Close to the border with. And ill tell you how they were joining forces before civilians can move in and support the n. F. L. Star is going to miss a few games because of broken ribs and a collapsed lung. So some Big Decisions in u. S. Foreign policy being considered by the trumpet ministration as its time in the white house rules to a close report suggests that just last week donald trump asked his officials for options on attacking irans main nuclear site. He was talked out of it, and iran has said that any such move would be met with a quote crushing response. Theres also been talk of the Administration Planning to designate yemens, hutu rebels as a terrorist organization. They publication Foreign Policy says, its another initiative in the works before joe biden takes over in january. Weve heard from the head of nato today whos warned against removing u. S. Troops from afghanistan too quickly. Once again, his report suggesting trump is looking to harm the number of personnel in afghanistan by january here is, how could our white house, correspondents, kimberly you and i have discussed this before. The president will make decisions no matter what time it is in his or her term, but it just looks like this is all being pushed through at the last minute and just interested in what sort of reaction there is and what sort of potential problems it could create for the new administration. Well, theres no question that this is a controversy all decision that is being floated by the commander in chief also the u. S. President. It is one of the same. What were hearing is that there is some significant caution against this sort of rapid accelerated timeline in terms of withdrawal of u. S. Troops in iraq and afghanistan. This goes counter to what military commanders have been telling their commander in chief, but at the same time, the u. S. President just last week installed a whole spate of loyalists at the pentagon who share his view. That it is time to get the United States out of these conflicts. Now, what we expect in terms of the numbers were hearing is this would leave just 2500 soldiers in both iraq and afghanistan. Were expecting this could be done by executive order. And as you point out, its getting a bit of pushback, particularly by some Top Republicans on capitol hill, including the Senate Majority leader. Mitch mcconnell erupted with the role of u. S. Forces from afghanistan, now would hurt our laws and the light, the light. The people who wish us harm violence of fucking afghans are still rampant. The taliban is not about and by the conditions of the socalled peace deal, the consequences of a premature american exit would likely be even worse than president obamas withdrawal from iraq back in 2011, which you will fuel the rush of us, of a new round of global terrorism, now troops had already been slated to have a withdrawal in mid november, but this would be going much further than that in both timing and size. What weve heard there from the republican there in capitol hill that youll cottle is this is concerning to many on capitol hill given it would potentially jeopardize those counterterrorism efforts as well as peace efforts. Still, this is what we hear is potentially moving forward. It could take some time given there is a lot of infrastructure dismantle, but the u. S. President tweeting kind of a vague tweet last month that he was hoping to have soldiers home by christmas Kimberly Hans of the white house for us. And susan, thank you completely. A closer look for you here at the involvement of u. S. Troops in afghanistan, around 4 and a half 1000 soldiers are stationed there right now. Alongside other nato troops there training the afghan Security Forces, well than 2400 u. S. Troops have been killed since american involvement began way back in 2001. At its peak in 2010, there were 100000 u. S. Soldiers in afghanistan, fighting al qaeda and the taliban. More recently, peace negotiations between afghanistans government and the taliban have been taking place here in qatar, talks, which are a result of an earlier deal between the taliban and the United States. Weve got a meal with us now. Hes a fellow at the center for International Security and cooperation at Stanford University here in doha, at the moment. Thank you for your time. No surprise that donald trump, as kimberly was outlining there, wants to bring the troops home and hed love the symbolic moment of bringing them home before christmas. What effect does that have on afghanistan . If you come down to about 2 and a half, 1000 george. So the president is, has been mulling this production since, you know, this year, a 9 year saw an option from the pentagon to go down to 0 in the pentagon and theres going to be rejected because why he is not here is his secretary of defense mark we dont know, at least who shares as you would that be u. S. War in afghanistan needs to win here. In terms of implication to this decision were certainly spent on the dotted line on the ground, but not one word to go through. Some of the things thats part of the event thats brought up mean that us not at all, but in every 28. 00 negotiating programs, were going to government, it was a little bit uncertain come to terrorism a
