Death by police last week. I live by the model. Numbers dont lie and in, the u. S. Georgias republican secretary of state officially certifies joe biden as the winner there. But Donald Trumps lawyers continue contesting results elsewhere and on paestum with all your support, barcelonas coach little cream and sympathizes with little missy of the argentine says hes angry at being the focus of negative attention at the club. Thank you for joining as the United Nations has called on ethiopias warring sides to stop fighting immediately. So aid can come in and refugee safe zones can be set up. The government launched an offensive 2 weeks ago targeting the grace People Liberation front which governs a t. Grey region in the north. In the past hour ethiopian troops say they have taken the towns of about 100 kilometers away from the regional capital micheli, both sides of accuse each other of killing civilians in as strikes and indiscriminate attacks. The uns Refugee Agency says its her pairing for as many as 200000 people to seek refuge in sudan. So far more than 30000 have fled their humanitarian workers, say millions of children are at risk, and refugees are in serious danger of an outbreak of disease that speak to his mom. And i dont live in this forest mahmoud, so the Government Forces claiming new gains. Whats the significance of these 2 towns aides say they have taken well fully the 2 ton started out which is and his ball for his total times was the capital of the eggs of my kingdom of the queen of sheba fame. You know something if your peers are really proud of, you know, a period in the history that theyre a bit proud of. One abdulla is where the 2nd was an emperor here, and its european defeated the italians in 839, after 5 years of compression of if you appear there by owning the distinction of one of just 2 countries in africa, that was never a call of my so these are great achievements for the if you have good Defense Forces because these 2 times are really a huge part of his new this country. Great. And so the Government Forces now have their eyes set on mick the regional capital of t. Great. If they take mckenna, what would it mean for the conflict . Well, those signify that its almost all the men. If you look at the to get i Peoples LiberationFront Holding on to territory. I mean, if they cant hold the cup at all, it means they are defeated. And mccullough is considered the ultimate prize by the if European NationalDefense Forces, who are now said to be roughly about 100 kilometers from the couple. And they are saying they will launch attacks on the killer from at least 4 different from spot. What is going to be a huge opportunity to the 2 p. L. O. Is that the city is surrounded by hills and mountains, where they have mounted their defenses and a hopeful that will stop their advancing opponents. Of course, both sides are heavily armed and it might not be is easy according to security, to unleash, to take, make, kill it. Been for the european Defense Forces, other towns like a month ago, which they have just claimed to have taken control of. And in the protected conflict, many here fear will not just affect a few opiate but the entire horn of africa. Region. Thank you. Mohammed mahmoud. I dont reporting there live from alabama. Now only i spoke to his sasural, whos the director general of ethiopias Foreign Ministry and a former ambassador to the u. K. He rejected accusations that the theo paean government deliberately cut communications during its offensive against rebels in take. Great. We have people on the ground. We have deployed employees, but entire communication blackout, we have to blame it on t. V. Left and they have to do their part or so. We are doing this in a very difficult situation ourselves. It is that you clearly have destroyed it recently in the communication. Everything we heard Prime Minister abu ahmed say that the people who fled in recent weeks should be able to return. But how and when do you think this could be possible . How is very simple because now the border area is cleared of now the area is very calm. And the fighting has moved into the center of the capital city. The regional capital saw it is easy for us now to repatriate them and we are trying to do that and it is possible to disprove most of them they fled from the border areas, not from by golly. So we would prepare for any eventuality. Even those who would be displaced from it, but the border towns, now its calm, they will come back and most of them are from those areas. And where do we were . Ok, as we mentioned, tens of thousands of ethiopians from the tigre, a region have taken refuge in neighboring sudan because of the fighting al jazeera as he morgan is at a refugee camp in sudan, near the ethiopian border. More and more refugees continue to arrive to sudan with, at least 400 refugees arriving to this camp here. And by about 30 g. M. T. , which is about 3 oclock local time in the afternoon. And that is when the counter top and they were just ration up. Authorities here say that more have arrived evidence. Aljazeera has also witnessed dozens of arriving. But Authorities Say that they will be included in tomorrows tally and not today because todays count has officially closed. Now this is just here in this county. There is also another point in neighboring states there who have also arrived continue interest in the region. Now the u. N. Is quite concerned about the fighting in region, especially because there is a lack of communication and theres a Communications Blackout and lack of access to many tarion systems. There are concerns about the welfare of those who are trapped in the conflict, especially children. And many of them have fled here to neighboring sudan along with their families. Some of them with preexisting conditions, with the impact of the fighting, and in fact, from the conflict clear on their eyes and in their health. Just 2 weeks ago, while he was preparing for her sunday, now his operation, he was born with a cleft lip, which has affected his ability to drink milk and along with it his health. But just days before they were due to return to the capital of a few beers not integrate reachin, the situation changed dramatically when we were due to go back for his last check up before the operation, the fighting started, all the roads were blocked, and we couldnt get to macquarie, people were being killed and there were bombs being dropped, so i fled with him and my family. Now we cant even get a doctor to check on him. We cant even get him his vaccination, let alone have hope. Youll get an operation here. The family now resides at this refugee camp. In a flash, i got into a damp about of stayed there more than 15000, if you can refugees here in what was once a largely uninhabited area. Thousands more. If you have fled to neighboring state to escape the fighting into. Great. But it to hell are you and her 2 children are some of them. Her infant son has been suffering from breathing problems and she says shes been struggling to get him the care he needs. He has one block nostril and doesnt feed except from a bottle. But i dont have formula for him because weeks cage fighting, ethiopian came here. And the Health Care Center doesnt have formula. So i have to go looking around for that. But i dont know where ill get the money from. The camp has only one Health Center to cater for the thousands of children here. Mothers wait for their turn to have their children seen by doctors. Many children exposed to the horrors of conflict in the 1st years of their lives. According to unicef, 40 percent of the refugees arriving in sudan are children. Some have been separated from their families and the process of tracking them has started. Others have arrived with malnutrition because of the days they spent walking with no food and all have been affected by the conflict integrate in a way that will likely impact their childhood. The u. N. Childrens agency says that chris tricked it access, and the ongoing communication blackout in the region has left an estimated 2300000 children in need of humanitarian assistance. And as more and more refugees arrive in sudan, theres rising concern over their future. Remember, this is the time school started, children will actually miss this years school. And most of those children we saw yesterday come there are school age. Unfortunately, they will not have school this year. So we have to come up with alternative and programs already within the next month or 2. Were hoping the crisis will stop, the fighting will stop. There will be able to go back home. But if thats not the case, we have to be in place to support them. What do you do says she hopes the conflict ends soon so that she can return back home with her family. She says she wants her child to be operated on, but more importantly, wants him to grow up with no memories of the horror thats forced her and her family to leave their lives behind and seek refuge here in sudan. People morgan aljazeera and fresh account of out of state staying in africa, ugandan opposition, politician bobby wine has been released on bail after being charged over actions likely to spread. Coronavirus officials have accused a president ial candidate of violating covert 1000. 00 restrictions while campaigning for the elections scheduled in january. At least 20 people have been killed during protests by his arrest on wednesday. Malcolm webs following developments for us from neighboring kenya, who is Senior Police officer, spoke to the press earlier today said 28 people being killed in a violent street, a compiler, a car moving back to normal today. But is violence which began on wednesday to be on thursday morning with separately, a Police Pathologist has told News Agencies the number of bodies resulting from the violence was actually 37. So the numbers and on to toy clear Senior Security officials and police have said it, blame people for rioting and for attacking police officers. Other on the other hand, there are eyewitnesses, bobby wine himself, when he came out of court as well as Rights Groups had complained of on just an unfair and excessive violence on the part of the security forces. Some Rights Groups have accused the ugandan government to weaponize ing its covert 19 response. The un secretary general has warned that yemen is inching closer to the worlds worst famine in decades. Antonio terrorist called for immediate action to stave off a catastrophe. Here many is already suffering after more than 6 years of war. The terraces produced relief funding and a crumbling currency out obstructing efforts to every family. Theres lots more ahead on this news hour, including we are just human and we also have goals in our lives. A difficult pill to swallow for nurses in the philippines. Desperate to work abroad. And the teenager who is causing great excitement in german football thats coming up in sports with pizza. I am thirsty coronavirus pun demi, can do us harm a suitable company, pfizer and its german partner bio tech, could become the worlds 1st companies to seek emergency authorization in the u. S. For their coronavirus vaccine. The u. S. Health secretary alex, as i say, is there plans to seek approval is a light at the end of the tunnel. Mike hanna has more from washington. What happens once pfizer registers the request with the f. D. A. . It then looks at the data that pfizer has collected through its tests of some 40000. 00 people over the past few months. The f. D. A. Then calls a meeting with a group of independent scientists who will then decide whether or not to grant the emergency use authorization based on the data that theyve been given by pfizer. But the real difficulty here is that this is not a routine vaccine trial. This is a new technology which the scientists are going to have to look at. Its completely uncharted water. It is not a vaccine in which a mutant down version of the virus is injected into the system, allowing the body to create its own immunity. This is a case where, a spike proteins are created within humans, d. N. A. , which replicates the corona virus, and trains the body to recognize it should the corona virus into the body. So this is a totally Different Technology which has not been dealt with before. And this in itself is going to maybe extend the period the speed with which these vaccines can be rolled out. Well, that is also incredibly difficult because this particular treatment requires 2 injections over a period of 3 weeks. Now that is a lot of injections, a lot of the vaccine that needs to be distributed throughout the country and the World Health Organization has removed the antiviral drug there from its list of recommended medicines for patients in hospital with covered 19. Its another setback for the manufacturers goliad after the drug received early attention as a potential treatment. And the latest w. H. O. Trial suggests it has little or no effect on survival rates or reducing hospital stays for infected patients. The u. S. State of joy, john has certified president elect joe biden as the winner of the election. Then the certification comes after a recount of ballots. The votes were audited after president Trumps Campaign question. The results and claimed widespread fraud and georgias secretary of state has said as a republican, hes disappointed in the results, but asserts that the numbers dont lie. Im a passionate conservative, and as i said before, im a proud trump supporter. I was with him early in the 2016 election cycle and hes governed the nation by the same conservative principles that i hold dear. Like other republicans, im disappointed our candidate didnt win georgias electoral votes. Close elections, so distressed people, feel their side was cheated. We saw this from the democrats in 2018, and we see this from republicans today working as an engineer throughout my life. I live by the motto that numbers dont lie as secretary of state. I believe that the numbers that we have presented today are correct. Now, including georgias tally biden, has won the presidency with 360 Electoral College votes. He needed 270. Donald trump fell short with 232 biden, is the 1st democratic president ial candidate to win georgia in nearly 3 decades. Meanwhile, 2 senior republican state legislators in michigan have traveled to washington to meet donald trump. A special rose on them to overturn the results to favor him. Joe biden has won michigan by more than 154000 votes by means legal team has condemned the attempt to set aside the popular vote. The constitution does not permit a state legislature to do with donald trump once the disk of state legislature to do to save legislature is already prescribed the manner in which the electors in 2020 were to be chosen. That is to the popular vote. They cannot after the factual around and change those rules retroactively when i speak to a white house correspondent, kimberly hawke, it could be so that we know whats come out of this meeting between trump and these lawmakers from michigan. What exactly is the hoping to get from them . Well, the u. S. President is clearly still looking for an opportunity to seek a 2nd term. However, as we have been discussing, is that guest mention just now its such a long shot. Its almost an impossibility. Because even if donald trump were able to collect the electoral votes from michigan, he would still be far behind in need to pick up other states. Which so far theres no indication that that would happen. But what donald trump is doing, after having a string of failed legal cases in terms of trying to over turn the vote that is projected it was joe biden, being the president elect is that now hes turning to another avenue and that is in republican legislature. Us trying to convince those republican legislatures to instead put Electoral College votes in his favor instead of for joe biden. Other words, many would argue subverting the democratic process or undoing the will of the people. You have to remember that when it comes to this vote that joe biden has received across the United States, more than 8000000 votes in excess of Donald Trumps count. So this would certainly be something that would be highly controversial, would invite legal challenges and could potentially even cause conflict among americans. So this is not a popular past. Still its one that the press secretary says the u. S. President is exploring as he is running out of time, given the fact that georgia has no certified its votes. And we expect that michigan and pennsylvania will do the same on monday. Can really help get the white house. Thank you. Can be to bella rules now where thousands of mourners have attended the funeral of a prodemocracy protesters. Witnesses say 31 year old roman ponder. Ranko was beaten by several men last week before being taken into custody. He died from brain injuries the following day. The authorities have denied responsibility, but the e. U. Is preparing a new round of sanctions. Paul brennan reports hold their hands held high in a peace sign. The mourners filled the area in front of the church in minsk. The death of roman pondering co has given new impetus to bella, who says opposition movement, which has faced a ruthless clampdown by Government Security forces in recent weeks. We will not forget, we will not forgive, was just one of the slogans. The crowd chanted in unison. When you just assume that i have a son, and i understand that any of us could have been killed. But i really want my son to grow in a free, safe country so that he grows up as a free man and can express his thoughts without being punished. So i hope that it will be so. Will your board member from today i have pain in my soul, so i came to say goodbye to a wonderful person, roman on the rank over who died under such tragic circumstances. I could not stay at home. I came to say goodbye to this wonderful young man, beatings and arrests of escalated in recent weeks as opposition. Demonstrators continue to dispute the outcome of august president ial election.
