As i saw says its behind rocket attacks in afghanistans capital that have killed at least 8 people. The interior ministry, says dozens more have been injured. The attack came just hours before the u. S. , secretary of state michael bell was due to hold talks with Afghan Government and taliban negotiators in qatar, capital doha. Earlier this week, the pentagon said it would soon pull about 2000 troops out of afghanistan. For a begins our coverage with this report from kabul. Schoolgirls running for their lives after a rocket lands near their school, part of a coordinated attack on the capital. Kabul of the, of the more than 20 rockets landed in residential areas near the green zone, where many embassies are based. It was a little after 8. 30 in the morning when the 1st rocket landed in the Afghan Capital for the next 10 minutes. It felt like kabul was under attack. Witnesses say the attack during the morning rush hour was timed to cause maximum damage. But they could, it was morning and we were leaving our home when an explosion happened 2 of my sisters and my mother wounded. So we took them to hospital, i would have thought the way it was around 9 am. Rockets hit the bakery wounding an employee who needed hospital treatment. Lots of shopkeepers are going to suffer financially because of this. I still has claimed responsibility for the attack. It came just hours before the u. S. Secretary of state mike arrived in qatar is capital doha. Hes talking to both Afghan Government and taliban negotiators. Involved in peace talks, there shows richies and security that are just pressed. Yes, again, so that the sort of weaponry gets into the city. And secondly, its part of the trend where the suits is 90 minutes even at a time of trouble and so that they wont launch attacks. And sometimes i, i so has been behind recent attacks in the capital gunmen stormed a couple university. 3 weeks ago. At least 22 people were killed. The government says in saturdays attack, fighters fired the rockets from the back of 2 trucks. Its investigating how the vehicles managed to enter the city undetected, posing more questions about the governments ability to keep the capital city secure. Contrary, ill just see you. And for more on the u. S. Visit to speak to Stephanie Decker live here in doha. So stephanie micron pale meeting both sides of the afghan call, say terry, in doha today, just how challenging is it to bring them together with everything thats going on back in afghanistan, the deteriorating security situation there of the security situation. Afghanistan has been pretty bad for a long time and take care once youve been trapped for started. This is between the Afghan Government and the taliban. There been complaints that its become worse. Of course a days attack was claimed by isis. So nothing to do the taliban. What we have now is texas state peo, part of the 7 country tour he met with captors emir earlier today with the deputy Prime Minister. Hes taken the opportunity of being here to meet with both sides. Again, he was here when those talks were mentioned september, of course they are the result of a lengthy and difficult negotiations and his deal signed between the americans and the taleban in february of this year. Now, what are we expecting . Hes going to be urging them to go to the nitty gritty, so to speak. And theyre still talking about technical issues fairly, the 2 sides talking about what Legal Framework, what religious Legal Framework should be used to govern these talks. So they havent even started sitting down opposite each other to talk about the complications when it comes to cease fire when it comes to how a power sharing agreement in kabul is going to move forward. He doesnt have much sway, lets say, i think to really solve it. Its very, very complicated. These are 2 sides that have been fighting each other for decades. There is mistrust even today, the taleban came out with a statement where it condemned the leadership in kabul for urging the u. N. Security council for continuing to impose sanctions on the Senior Leadership of the taliban. So it just gives you an indication of how complicated this is going to be. He is, however, taking the opportunity of being here as part of this, showing, lets say, tour of his to talk to both sides. And i think again, give the message of the americans are keen for them to start moving forward. And the u. S. Secretary of state, also talking with qatari officials. Whats on the agenda there . What is he trying to achieve . Yes, this is really part of the trip. The main part is talking about involving the forces in the news and that is very much anti iraq after is an ally of iran. The blockade is high on the agenda. A discussion of this administration also said theyre keen to try and resolve, but i think thats still a little early to call. But certainly there is a think that that will be discussed. The blockading countries want to cut ties with a rod. Its one of their demands for lifting the blockade. Something catchy refuses to do. So its a complicated situation. I think hes trying to push any kind of, lets say gays in the last months of this outgoing administration. Of course, as u. S. President , donald trump still havent admitted defeat, but had, as a mayor has called president elect joe biden, to congratulate him on his way. And so whether they discussed that, we dont know, theres been very Little Information coming out of what we do know is that a player was in his last night here, meeting with the taliban. He met with the Afghan Government a couple of hours ago. So we have to wait and see if anything comes out of that. Stephanie deca in doha, thank you. The United Nations says a full scale humanitarian crisis is unfolding in northern ethiopia. The un has called on the warring sides to hold fighting immediately. So more aid can be delivered and refugee safe zones can be set up. The Ethiopian Government launched an offensive 2 weeks ago on the t. Gray Peoples Liberation front. Both sides have accuse each other of killing civilians in airstrikes and indiscriminate attacks. An official from the grave region has accused Government Forces of court, wanton killing, and as called on the International Community to do more to help is also accusing neighboring eritrea of supporting the Ethiopian Government offensive. If you o. P. s government and military have repeatedly denied targeting civilians saying they strike only the left are, gets our resources very much interested in wanton killing of civilians and of towns. In fact, it has a forces, have a contingent of trucks that are meant to export to transport goods and items that they steal from from the towns the temporarily occupied. Its rather strange resources working because with sources in the destruction of private property, in many parts of the in the number of civilians who are being displaced. Its members. Meanwhile, those who are fed the fighting across the border into sudan are afraid of going hungry and say theyre desperate for help in him. And you know, when we came here, we didnt find any services. We, in the medical grid that we took from the mill look at this massive crowd. Some people get trampled and stand in long queues to eat. Only have one meal a day. So you must know that that would people just want to eat and they say we didnt die in the war. But now is it possible that we die of hunger and understand how the government should help those of us who are suffering from hunger . We ask the government to help us make whatever they can. We cant do anything alone. Speak to morgan now who is live in the diary, near the sudan, ethiopia border. Hes the refugee, in fact, continues, and the numbers that are seeking help from ethiopia seem to be on the increase. Tell us 1st how this is all unfolding where you are. While fully we can see more and more refugees arriving here to get out of in various refugee camps. Now this one here is called and we spoke to the officials who are responsible for the camp, and they say they receive up to 1000 refugees here alone. Now those are mostly refugees who came from border points from the neighboring states of im speaking to those refugees, they all say that they lack basic services. They say that theres a shortage of clean Drinking Water shortage of health care and shortage of food. They say that they line up for hours and hours to get meals. Now we also spoke to the World Food Program and they say that theyve started distribution. Logistics was an issue for them to get to the refugees, but now theyre working on it and they are planning to distribute it for the refugees who are here. But lets take a look at the camp itself. Its not new, its a camp thats about 85 kilometers away from the sudan if youll be a border account that was established in 1985, and then shut down in the year 2000, only to be opened 20 years later to receive refugees. So it is used as accustomed to receiving refugees, but this time the influx of refugees, the number of people who are arriving fleeing the conflict in the tigre region, has been overwhelming to the point that the officials here say that this camp capacity is up to 10000 but the expect the figures to be much more than that and are calling on agencies to open new camps for those refugees. Tell us about the needs of the people who are there right now and how easy it operation proceeding. How well coordinated is yes or between aid organizations on the ground and sudans government . Well, the biggest need, when you listen to the refugees here at the camp, they say that they need shelter. Thats because again, most of them have been transported from the border point in a state which is a neighboring state and were brought here by the thousands 1000 at least transported every day. And so this camp was not prepared to receive those refugees. So people here say that the 1st thing they need is shelter. The other thing that they say they need most is health care. They say that many of them have been walking for days to cross the border from if youre into sudan, and then to get to crossing a river. And then coming here. So they say that they need medical access or medical health care access. Something that they say is lacking because of the number of people who are at the camps. They say that yes, there is a health facility, and theres water being provided there is food being provided, but compared to the number of refugees that are actually here, thats not enough and theyve been calling on to provide more now are going to stations, mostly u. N. Agencies, say that theyre coordinating with the government of sudan to try to respond to the situation, but they say that they expect up to 200000. 00 in the coming 6 months. So there are concerns that the influx of refugees will be too much to respond to in such a short time. Morgan reporting there live from near the ethiopia sudan border. Earlier we spoke to come polson, whos with the World Food Program and is working in the camps in sudan. He says feeding of thousands of refugees is the top priority. Well, the task is big currency. Even h. R. Reports that some 35000 people have a right as of yesterday and probably more are coming across the border today. What we are doing right now is trying to assist them at the Border Crossing and then trying to continue that assistance once they settle in one of the camps with longer term assistance. So initially we do to contribute to unity or for hot meals. And we also provide them with high energy biscuits. Once they settle in the camp setting, we provide them with a monthly ration that should sustain them. Here we also have to work with partners, other than u. N. H. C. R. , working with minister of health, with unicef, to work on the nutrition programs to make sure that women and children get the right nutrition should they have suffered before or was coming here. Both the United Nations agencies that work on the medical side n. G. O. S are working hard right now to cover the medical needs. W. S. P. Focus right now on food nutrition just except for and to some extent also providing i think the support for agencies responding to this crisis. Theres last more ahead on this aljazeera news hour, including 1000. 00 cases in sweden and so or why the government says it will not change its no longer down approach. This years g. 20 summit is taking place a very chilly, but that hasnt stopped it from generating controversy.

Cameras, as largest city toronto is going back into lockdown. The Prime Minister says a normal holiday is out of the question. In order to get through this winter without overwhelming our health system, without losing too many more of our loved ones, we need to do one last big effort these coming months and it starts with the coming weeks of really tightening up, which is why im back here in front of my house telling you its time, its time to tighten up. Meanwhile, singapore and hong kong are postponing the launch of their quarantine free travel bubble after a spike in infections in hong kong.

Nearly 500 people have been dying from covert 900 every day in iran, as it battles a 3rd wave of corona virus and daily infections number more than 13000. Thats the highest the country has had since the start of the outbreak. Current prevention measures dont seem to be working. Now the government has imposed a 2 week lockdown that had john moore had a good draw. The main goal is to control the threat of the wireless and reduce it to a minimum. And to reduce the number of gathering from people commuting and for some places we had no other choice than in the past, we asked people to abide by protocols for their own health and reduced pressure and medical staffs. We want people to abide by protocol, so this pressure can be rewarded soon as possible. Only essential businesses are allowed to remain open. And some people say they need help to assure when its closed. We have no other source of income, but there is no other choice. We should do something to curb the chain of the virus. Its tough, but theres no other choice. We need to be patient and have only the infection rate reduced. I dont think 2 weeks is enough to control the situation. I agree with the idea of closing down 100 percent, yet many other problems will be created that i dont agree with. Like financial problems for people. Shopkeepers still have to pay rent and their employees will receive no salary. Private vehicles are banned from the roads from 9 pm until 4 am. Travelling outside cities is also prohibited.

The challenge the Government Faces is whether it can persuade people to keep abiding by restrictions when they need to work to feed their families as a break to her own. In sweden, the rise in infections is putting its known law under pressure for the 1st time. The government has rejected advice from the Public Health agency for race has more from home commuter rush begins in stockholm with little evidence of concern about swedens mounting coronavirus crisis. Its just a couple of months since the decision not to impose a lockdown seemed to be working. But with a 2nd wave of the pandemic building momentum, it could be a long cold winter ahead. For the approach that has been dubbed the swedish model. A record 7240 new cases were reported on friday, with 66 more deaths taking the toll to almost 6 and a half 1000 who have been getting more and more patient.
