Once again hit with water cannon. Police are trying to stop the Anti Government demonstrations. Starting in northern ethiopia, this hour where to carry rebels have refused to give in to the government. 3 days ago, Prime Minister abu ahmed issued an ultimatum. He said, stand down or 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. This is the primary base for the left, the ticket, a Peoples Liberation front which governs there, said his forces are now preparing a final attack and says this conflict will only end when the t. P. O. Life is brought to justice and its leaders have been replaced. The u. N. And foreign leaders have called for mediation, a request which has been largely ignored by both sides. And in fact, these pictures show the extra troops that the government deployed on monday. And as most soldiers move in, more people are getting out. The un has called it a full scale humanitarian crisis, an estimated 27000, people crossing the border into neighboring cities. Disrespect. Yes, but since you know, when its your job, you have another service providers. And you can see some of the sort of additions much i now know from home to our correspondent in ethiopia. The Government Forces have their eyes on mckellen a couple of but security generals, they say theyve been cutting out of place on the outskirts of this couple of the to carry Regional Security sources. Tell us about the next 48 hours will be really crucial in this fight. If European Security forces cut out the market, prong tough talk on mckenna to cut the call off, the credit goes to great people of that are shown phone trees putting on this because they have lost some tums of clothes, of 100 columns of a couple told and theyre cleaning, cleaning for most of the past one off week. Government forces and have been Prime Minister to use false. Its something that has been outside of the government, another suburb. But they say theyre sure that theyre out. 16 positions from at a train, fighting alongside Prime Minister. These forces not ferrous, like to the ethiopian minister in charge of democratize ation. He says its the t. P. I. Left which has forced the government to military action. The government has no problem with mediation, but you know, the detail is short and the forehead of our Defense Forces. Our supporters who are out as if to defend again people from any possible for innovation who want to go in and would possibly in and wish it away to the south under the horses of you know it well now that they have to know that it is only hand of if, if we just got out of being anything. How awful today, if people it isnt a mass killing weve been taught is done. So, but there are conditions, you know, there are conditions that the pivot has to meet. They have to hand over those top leadership of the people that are involved in the perpetration of this crime. Our eyes today should be handed over back to us, our sort of just what under the country, both, you know, it should be good. Should also be freed and be allowed to be members, a functioning element of our Defense Force and number of things can, can be listed. We can on that, which is with all these things out. And the suspect why our soldiers are as accountable to go with who it out as there is often to defend the ticket and people from any possible for innovation. So there has to be condition just to put all of this into context, this Northern Region of today, a semi autonomous area governed by the ticket a Peoples Liberation front and is estimated to have up to 250000 fighters. This was the front line for ethiopia during its 2 year conflict with their trailer and large amounts of military equipment is still stored there. Despite ethnic groans only making up 5 percent of the population, it was they who controlled the National Government for 3 decades. Before Prime Minister came to power in 2018. Was a big shift in power and it turned to tension after todays leaders defied a government twice. Once they wouldnt join his coalition, and then in september they held elections against the orders of the central governments. We have with us now on eritrean, writer and journalist whos currently living in exile in the united states. Thank you for joining us. Maybe can i just get a quick word from you on eritrea . 1st of all the countries reaction the peoples reaction to being potentially drawn into this conflict. Their airport was targeted only a few days ago. Thank you for having me. You know, there are 2 different sides here trying to kind of wore down that and i dont want to be able to kind of complete it does a lot of that conflict as if by tradition and government, the regime is poor or theyre going to turn me into a tramp which has nothing to do you worry about this becoming even more of a regional problem . Its, its, its, its eritrea. The sudan is involved now as well because of all the refugees coming in there. The prospect of this getting out of control its already done is youre sitting at the moment in gaza if you have been but one thing youre trying to remember originally involved in the conflict. And so it will do other countries other never encountered it from some sudan, probably kenya, sudan duty in all this camp. Knowing this sort of incremental spoke to a government minister last hour, who was basically saying the governments position and that they want to completely, take out the t. P. Their phone are not willing to back down. Why do you think there is this reluctance to, to talk, or to even have some mediation from outside . I think they dont want to listen to anyone because of course, it was only a matter and says a lot of they are trying to finish up the bill. And they have their event begins and they are trying to retaliate instead of numbers. It was with the people in israel who is and we did leadership there. I wouldnt conflict now bringing those issues because they dont want to have talks at all until and then and then what took them down like then whats being done now. And as a train journalist has gives me joining us from ohio in the u. S. Today. Thank you. For your time, sir, thank you for the head of nato is warned against the removal of u. S. Forces from afghanistan too quickly. There are reports suggesting the trumpet ministrations looking to have the number of personnel by january that would leave around 2 and a half 1000 troops in afghanistan, and there would be a reduction in iraq. Meanwhile, iran says any attack on its Nuclear Facilities would face a quote crushing response that saw for a New York Times report that President Trump was seeking options to attack a nuclear side. The article says he decided against its will. Those sanctions remain on the table. And the Trump Administration also reportedly planning to designate yemens hooty rebels as a terrorist organization. The Foreign Policy publication says its another initiative in the works before joe biden takes over in january diplomatic sources worrying this move will disrupt International Aid and u. N. Peace efforts. Kimberly, how could i White House Correspondent with more on this one . I mean, just listing off those things theyre trying to cram a lot into the end of this administration. No question about it. And this is something that runs counter to the advice of some of the top military commanders at the pentagon. Still the commander in chief, the u. S. President , pressing ahead, we understand that these are a number for pows was being floated. But this does fall short. Also, in terms of the number of troops that might still be on the ground of the president s Campaign Promise to get america out of endless wars. Now, as you pointed out, this would leave probably about 2500. 00 soldiers in iraq and afghanistan. And the concern for some Top Republicans on capitol hill is that this would jeopardize peace and also hurt. U. S. Counterterrorism efforts erupted, withdrawal of u. S. Forces from afghanistan now would hurt our laws and the light, the light. The people who wish us harm violence affecting afghans is 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 raj of isis and a new round of global terrorism. Now this plan that is being floated, we understand could be done through executive order comes just a week after the u. S. President stalled a number of loyalists inside the pentagon, presumably to potentially help carry out these plans. Now we should also point out the pentagon was on track to cut troops by mid november, but this would go a step further. But the timeline is curious and maybe even not attainable, given the fact theres an enormous amount of infrastructure that needs to be dismantled. It may not be able to be done as quickly as the president is suggesting. We dont have a precise timeline, but he did tweet last month that he was hoping to have these troops home by christmas. Speaking of tweets came, but he was just having a look at total transfer that hes been quite quiet and we havent seen him in a very long time either. Is there just no movement from the white house to come on that well, theres nothing on the public schedule at the moment. Of course that can always change. But since the u. S. Election and the fact that the u. S. President has not yet conceded, it appears that he continues to challenge the results of the 2020 vote. The fact that joe biden, the democratic president ial nominee is the projected winner and many already looking to his transition as president elect and uncharacteristically quiet time for you can be there on the north lawn of the white house. Enjoy it while you can. Really, how could the White House Correspondent still ahead for you on aljazeera . Nobody knows what the future will bring, but were looking for Something Better. Cautious optimism coming out of moldova, thats in reaction to the election of the countrys 1st female president , locked out of citizenship rights, have been to meet people in zimbabwe, who are statements in the country of their birth. But the weather remains set fair across japan at the moment, make the most of it because we have got cloud and rain. Thats billing across northern parts of china. Pipping up as it does. So we have got the cold meeting up with somebody warm air from the south, and this is where the air force to rise. Cool condenses gives this massive cloud, massive storm, some very heavy rain pushing towards and northeastern corner of china. Some snow on the northern flank of that it will slide its way through the Korean Peninsula as we go on through thursday, and eventually the 2nd half of the week, it will make its way across japan. So as i said, make the most of the fine and dry weather that you have here for the next couple of days or change on the way then. For a good part of india is fine and dry across much of central and northern india. But down towards the south, we have still got some very heavy showers rolling through here. Northeasterly winds, of course the northeasterly monsoon, big and lively shower, still a possibility into a good part of lanka as we go one through the next couple of days. Similar picture there, as you can see, as we go through thursday, could catch one or 2 spotty showers into central parts of india. Little bit of wet weather, some cooler air signs of some cold air coming into northern parts of pakistan as we go through thursday. And also affecting the fun, the north of india. Jump into the stream and julian on Global Community bio diversity is biosecurity. It is that essential for our species to survive . Be part of the debate. I know you have ideas and you can be part of this conversation. When no topic is off the table, the police are not neutral and all of these cases goal here is to terrorize. And heres the other part of this. Theres no consequence to this stream on out is there here with aljazeera, these are the top stories ethiopias air force says its carried out strikes near the main city of the region. Prime minister ariana, said the 3 day ultimatum given to take out forces to surrender is now over. The head of nato has warned against the removal of u. S. Forces from afghanistan too quickly, reports suggest the trumpet ministrations up into half the number of personnel by january and iran. Is that any attack on its Nuclear Facilities would face a crushing response that is following another report. This is from the New York Times that President Trump was actually seeking options to attack a new prius. Oxfam says g 20 member countries of sold 17000000000. 00 worth of arms to saudi arabia, since it intervened in yemens war in 2015, a report from the Charity Organization says that number of 17000000000. 00 is 3 times the money thats gone to yemen in aid reports been released just as g 20 leaders are preparing to meet this week virtually for a summit hosted by saudi arabia. Heres our sun come out from oxfam in london is that action is needed from World Leaders to end yemens humanitarian crisis. Its very difficult as yemen rolls into that 60 year of conflict. To watch the situation in the country and unravel with the death, destruction and, and level of disease and infection in the country. And as we, as we work, as humanitarian organizations to respond to the coronavirus, were seeing a dramatic drop in a low level of response for in the humanitarian funding levels. And were only seeing around 40 percent of the humanitarian appeal being funded. Today. Its the old cliche of how important these forgotten crises are. And we need to ensure that they are there, they are present and we need to use. We need to call on World Leaders today to, to take responsibility. Use the momentum of the g 20 this week to ensure that there are sufficient talks around the humanitarian funding shortfall and gaps for the response, which is the largest humanitarian crisis in the world. It must get their attention. And ultimately, as many yemenis say to us on a day, day in day out basis. What is needed in the country is an inclusive Peace Process and an immediate cease fire. And that should be on the table at the g. 20 and given sufficient bandwidth by the World Leaders to ensure that happens. Members of the u. K. Parliament are hearing testimony from human Rights Groups about the detentions in saudi arabia of 2 senior princes and rights activists investigating the whereabouts and allegations of abuse by saudi arabia of these high profile detainees, including King Solomons brother. And the former crown prince. Mohammed bin nayef brennan, with more details of london. I think the timing is actually mainly because of the g. 20 summit thats taking place in riyadh in just 5 days from now, november 21st to the 22nd. And i my, my reading of it. Its to coincide with that because its not an official parliamentary committee. Nevertheless, its been chaired by a conservative m. P. Crispin blunt, and that were in this zuma meeting that hes convened. There were human rights activists, people from Human Rights Watch discussing what the situation is and shining. A light on the situation in saudi arabia has lou, whos the sister, jane, this woman very famous around the world for campaigning, for womens rights to drive in saudi arabia whos been in prison in saudi arabia since 2018. And who, according to the family, has been tortured while shes been in custody. That that clampdown is exactly what these activists are saying. Needs to be looked at more closely in particular in the light of the g. 20 being that what theyre essentially saying, if i can sum it up, is that saudi arabia presents to the outside world. A kind of whitewashed presentation of what the situation is like in the kingdom and the image of the kingdom to the outside world, while internally and gauging in repression. And sort of, you know, the lack of proper penal code and judicial process. At least 88 migrants have been killed and dozens injured. When the engine of a boat exploded in the north atlantic see it happened off the western coast of africa. Well, up about 150 thought to be on board, mainly from senegal and gambia.

Well, the virgin coast guards heard about this explosion from fishermen. They were nearby early this morning when they rushed in. Sail to the scene, they saw women, children, men holding onto plastic barrels normally used to store food or fish that are on the, on the vessel. Now the explosion happened early in the morning.
