Legislators from michigan say joe bidens, win in the states will stand fighting for racial equality in brazil after Security Guards beat a black man to death multiple rocket attacks in several parts of the Afghan Capital of killed at least 8 people. One rockets landed near a school, forcing students to run from the building. The interior Ministry Says dozens of, people have been injured. It comes as u. S. , secretary of state my pump aoe has arrived in qatar where essential to meet negotiators from the Afghan Government and the taliban separately. Stephanie decker standing by in doha for more on prepares visit to qatar 1st. Lets go to feel consul fully in kabul. For the latest on that attack on afghanistans capital flow, just talk us through what was happening in the last few hours. Well, rob, let me just tell you that there have been reports since this morning when this attack was happening, that the rockets were fired from 2 small trucks and the ministry of interior along with, as the National Director of security. They have confirmed that the rockets indeed were fired from these 2 trucks weave in the perimeter of kabul city, which raises even more questions and concerns that the residents here in kabul about the security of the city which has been deteriorating throughout a very, very long time. How could this happen with all those checkpoints, with those blimps on the sky of kabul, they have been monitoring the security situation. And what happened this morning, really, it really felt like the capital was under attack. I spoke with people, weve been fought that there was a military coup. Others thought that the taliban were trying to take over the city because for 10 minutes nobody knew what was happening. It was just and i could watch from my window. It was just contact konstanz explosions and things landing across the city. There were fathers who grabbed their babies and they try to hide behind refrigerators. Praying that today would not be the day that their baby would die. And all these rockets have landed in the heart of kabul, very crowded areas, residential areas, and the kabul is not a stranger to a rocket and mortar attacks. The difference of what happened this morning was that it was constant. It was for 10 minutes. And even though sometimes those rockets, they do fail to find their targets, we still do not know if it was just indiscriminate fire that landed near hospitals and their schools, or indeed whoever planned this. They intent was to just fire them indiscriminately to inflict even more terror and fear. Among kabul residents were citizens, very much for your country, for you bring us up to date from the deckers. Joining me now from doha, with the talks to find a solution to the situation in afghanistan, taking place, as we mentioned before, u. S. Secretary of state is knowing hes going to be making it seem to go. She is from both sides. The main goal as far as i understand it, is just to get these talks moving again, one of the main sticking points, given the fact of course, that weve just seen this big attack in kabul. Weve just seen where we are. So i think that was his 1st meeting a little later with both sides of the interim government and the sticking point. Really robin, they havent really started to talk about the pressing issues at all. Theyre talking about, lets say, the technicalities that will govern the talks, particularly what should be applied if theres any contentious issues that come up. So this is where theyre, theyve been on hold for about a month now. They started when they were here for that in september. So really no progress made so far. So i think for sure the message from the state to both sides will be technicalities. And to Start Talking about serious issues that no one, no one of course expects is going to be easy and it is going to be a lengthy process. And you mentioned, of course, that was a me and has been located by saudi arabia, egypt, and the united out of the 17th. I was going to lift it, but the u. S. Also wants to recognize israel. One can imagine that wasnt maybe the easiest of all we know topics that are going to be discussed is of course, the members of the u. S. Administration. The outgoing u. S. Administration have said that they would like to see progress in the last few months of their term, particularly mentioning things like lifting there was word of rumors that perhaps flights again, from qatar could overfly Saudi Arabian behind, and they havent been able to do that for almost 4 years now, but again, nothing confirmed yes. Relations with iran. This is ministration. My specifically also very much against iran, not of the same position. Thats one of the requests of the countries. Rob is that cuts its ties with iran. It hasnt so opposite ends, but certainly allies still, of course, the biggest u. S. Base in the middle east. So theyre all going to be the topics discussed. And of course, i think interestingly, the house called joe biden, the president , to congratulate him on his when, of course this is a ministration including that havent conceded defeat yet. So we have an interesting whether that was touched upon talking to us from doha. When im president of the termed by donald trump, to undo the u. S. Election result appears to be slipping away. Republican leaders from michigan was summoned to the white house on friday, but after talks with trump, they said there was no new information that would change. Joe bidens victory in the state said to be putting pressure on politicians in republican run states to ignore the popular vote and send delegates to the Electoral College who will install him as president. And no further setback for trump, the state of georgia has certified its election results. Cementing bidens win there from washington. Alan fischer. Thank you very much. The event at the white house was to talk prescription prices, but donald trump couldnt help talking about the election claiming pharmaceutical companies delete use of a vaccine to help him. Politically big pharma read millions of dollars of negative ads against me during the campaign, which i won by the way. But, you know, find that out. Almost 74000000 votes. We had big pharma guesses we had to mediate against us. We had big tech against us. We had a lot of dishonesty against us, while joe biden spent his birthday meeting with Democratic Congressional leaders to talk postelection plans. Donald trump was meeting republicans from michigan to the white house denying reports the president wants them to stop the state certifying bidens when there he routinely meets with lawmakers from all across the country. But one democrat from michigan says, this is anything but a routine meeting. Joe biden, one just did michigan 14 times greater than down the truck when our state 4 years ago. The president is trying to, i dont know what word to call it, is cheat his way to victory by pressuring local officials. After the meeting, the 2 republicans said it had no new information to change joe bidens victory in the state. Adding the result certification process should be free from threats and intimidation. And joe bidens legal team called it an abuse. Of course, the use of office. Its an open attempt to intimidate election officials. Georgia is the latest state to certify a joe Biden Victory after a manual recount of 5000000 votes. He becomes the 1st democrat to win the president ial race in the state since 1992. There are 2 recounts underway in counties in wisconsin, but its unlikely they will change the result there. President elect joe biden know stands on 306 Electoral College votes. Exactly the same number. Donald trump achieved 4 years ago when he claimed a landslide victory. Alan fischer, aljazeera at the white house. Generous nick is an assistant professor in International Relations at nanyang technological university. He says the president s behavior is amounting to a threat to national security. The realization that this is over is increasingly permeating the holdouts in the Republican Party. But ever so slowly and there are a few more voices you see some of the, sort of the more moderate reasonable characters in the party. People like senator mitt romney, senator ben sasse, of nebraska being a little bit more overt in their criticism of the president. But its still laughably minor in comparison is sort of it when you recognize the regis misbehavior that the president is engaging in the sort of behavior that 2 bit dictators of banana republics engage in that the u. S. State department routinely condemns for that sort of behavior. So this is were really in uncharted territory now in terms of this president s behavior. But we shouldnt be all together surprised given the manner in which hes comported himself over the last 4 years in office transitioning from one administration to another, especially from one from from the administration. One party to another is a massive undertaking. I mean, if you look at just the department of defense alone, its the largest agency, the largest employer in the world. So the extent to which a transition is seamless allows the Incoming Administration to better deal with emergent crises and, and other sorts of domestic or International Problems that occur in the bin. Its very early months. And so, given that we are, that the u. S. Is already deeply enmeshed in a terrible domestic and international crisis. In the face of the covert, 1000. 00 pandemic, every minute counts. And this and for the transition to be delayed as a result of the president s personal pique or ego bruising is, is really upsetting. Still ahead, analogise 0 covered 1000. 00 cases in sweden continue to soar while the government says it will not change its no longer done approach to this years g. 20 summit is taking place virtually, but that hasnt stopped it from generating controversy. Its probably still snowing in beijing. The cloud is certainly on its way through the significant weather that reaches far as that of astarte was freezing rain. There actually required rescue efforts, but its all fine on sunday. The forecast is there a cold one still subzero, but plus for beijing is a sunny one. The cold air trust, the sea of japan will make it particularly wet in northern hampshire. I think youll see some snow in hockey. The korean potential might get the edge of that sherry stuff running to north korea originally and stay here for the high ground in the middle of china. Youve got an obvious wintry slice here, going eastwards not going science was so i dont think you see a huge change in shanghai for example. In fact, if anything, the temp just starts to rise again by the time we get to 18, but probably was rains will be a bit more humid as well. The northeast monsoon has generated what looks like a circulation here in the southern bay of bengal. And thats creeping ever so slowly towards sri lanka, or the coast of for example, but in the immediate future thats looking far. And you know, its a snow appear on its way across northern pakistan and just cant, you know, whats in it might be enough to generate movement in the atmosphere because, you know, recalls his poor new delhi in the hole. So that might again be a brief improvement from the me out here in london to a pack and tacky income, but they can state the american state that in a state capitalism, unprompted uninterrupted. All of these, these divisions of the working class of working people. And they keep us from realizing our collective power homie homemade. Then, if you obey the market for 30 years, you begin to worship it and believe it has power over you. A lot, judy, a great date on aljazeera. Youre watching aljazeera, a reminder of our top stories this hour. Multiple rocket attacks in several parts of the Afghan Capital of killed at least 8 people. One rocket landed near a School Forcing students to run from the building. Dozens of people have been injured. The taliban has denied responsibility. The attacks came shortly before the u. S.

Saudi arabia is hosting it this year, but there have been calls to boycott the Virtual Event over the kingdoms human rights abuses. A counter summit is being held online to highlight some of those issues. A diplomatic editor, james bays, reports from the united nations. Riyadh to the place where the g 20 summit would have been held there using a giant projector to display the images of the participants. But because of covert 19, theyll be taking part virtually lessening the impact of this annual meeting of World Leaders and of the efforts of its host saudi arabia to rehabilitate its reputation.

Headquarters. I asked one participant of the g. 20, the secretary general for his view of saudis human rights record. Im talking about the lack of proper accountability for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, the continued detention of political prisoners, including women activists, and reports of torture. Separate general, you have the chance to address all of this fully, or you can dodge my question, but wouldnt that be it . Wouldnt that be . Wouldnt that be effectively greenlighting more abuse . But its not even a chance that in what ive just said, there is a clear reference to the needs of all these programs. To have one objective that everybody should be able to enjoy full human rights. What are going to hell seems like a piece of sound for human rights apply to all countries, including those countries, the g 20. What about those shoes specific . If you says in those that im saying, what we want is human rights everywhere, including in those countries. The secretary general will take part in the Virtual Summit from new york. He wants the g 20 to extend in duration and scope debt relief it offered to some of the worlds poorest countries earlier in the year.
