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.

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 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 say of kabul and al jazeera 70 deck as more on michael bales, tall. So the Afghan Government and taliban negotiators here in my pompei are wrapped up saturday with meeting the taliban delegation, involved into afghan talks. See it met an hour earlier with the Afghan Government delegation. These are talks that were integrated back in september. The u. S. Secretary of state where he was here for that as well, but its been a difficult process moving forward. The old still stuck on the technicalities of what kind of islamic law will govern the govern the framework of these tools. I think the message certainly for my pompei will be that they are keen to get the 2 sides to sit down to really get to the difficult issues when it comes to a long lasting cease fire and a power sharing agreement between the 2 sides. Of course you also met the pats are, is it me or he had a lunch with him and also met with the deputy Prime Minister to be discussed issues like iran. This is a ministration thats been very much an anti iran in a country as a country that has very good relations with iran. Its also one of the issues when it comes to the gulf, blockade the blockade in countries demanding that qatar cuts ties with iran, something they have so far, refused to do. This is also an administration that has said it wanted to perhaps get some movement on the lifting of the blockade that certainly at the moment hasnt happened, not to the full extent anyway. And of course, also in a way of course, and u. S. President donald trump not having conceded defeat but patters. Amir has already called the president joe biden, to congratulate him on his way. Now the world news, United Nations says a full scale humanitarian crisis is unfolding in northern ethiopia. The u. N. Has called on warring sides to halt fighting immediately. So more aid can be delivered and refugee safe zones can be set up. The governments launched an offensive 2 weeks ago on the great Peoples Liberation front. All sides have accused each other of killing civilians in airstrikes and in discriminates attacks. Meanwhile, those who fled across the border into sudan are afraid of going hungry and say theyre desperate for help him. And you know, when we came here, we didnt find any services we in the period 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 i dream of another of those 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. Hubert morgan has this update from a camp on sudans border with ethiopia. 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 the course of a state which is neighboring state and were brought here by the thousands 1000 at least transported every day. 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 ethiopia into sudan, and then to get to one day crossing a river. And then coming here. So they say that they need medical access or medical health care access. Something obviously is lacking because of the number of people who are at the camps. They say that yes, there is a health facility. I mean, 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 stations to provide more. Now, 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 as a world struggles to contain the corona virus pandemic government urging people not to travel. The centers for Disease Control in the u. S. Has warned americans to stay at home over the thanksgiving holiday. But the aaa travel insurance agencies estimating more than 15000000. People will travel in the coming week. And thats only a 10 percent drop compared to last year. Canadas largest city toronto is going back into the mall, down at 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.

Polands Prime Minister is also urging families to cancel travel plans, schools, bars, restaurants, and theatres will remain closed until after christmas. Singapore and hong kong are postponing the launch of their quarantine free travel bubble after a spike in infections in hong kong. In iran, meanwhile, while the country side mean to contain a 3rd wave of infections, authorities are closing most businesses and clamping down on travel between major cities to try and slow the spread. Assad big has a report from tehran, 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 jam more door draw. The main goal is to control it out of the wires 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 on medical staffs. We want people to abide by protocol, so this pressure can be removed as 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. You 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 government says people found to be breaking the rules will be fined, but its facing criticism over its handling of the pandemic. 2 officials in the Health Ministry have resigned and issued open letters. Reza says the government has mismanaged the crisis and disputes statements made by the Health Minister about the countrys progress in finding a vaccine. The closure of businesses is making life worse for many in what was already a tough Economic Situation because of u. S. Sanctions. The grand bazaar here into iran would usually be packed with shoppers, but its closed. Many agree the lock down is needed, but livelihoods are at stake. 10000000. 00 families are to receive around 4. 00 a month for the next 4 months on a 40. 00 loan. But many say thats not enough. 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.

The cold in 1000 pandemic has been an unprecedented shock that affected the entire world within a short period of time. Question Global Economic and social issues, or people in economies are still suffering from the shock. However, we will do our best to overcome this crisis through international cooperation. Our diplomatic editor james space has more from the United Nations in new york. Weve seeing kings of saudi arabia by his side, his crown Prince Mohammed bin some, an opening, the g. 20 calling this an extraordinary year. There are many that believe though that the g 20 has not risen to the challenge. They look back 220082009 the last financial crisis where the g 20 really did lead world efforts. And there are many urging the g 20 to do more in 2 ways, number one. But the 20 has come up with something called the Debt Service Suspension initiative earlier in the year to have debt relief for some of the poorer countries on earth. Some say that that needs to be extended both in generation and in scope. The other big challenge is getting vaccines to people in some of the poorer countries on earth and more money, much more money apparently is needed to fund that at this stage. This is a very different g 20 from normal. In fact, what she just now, what is normally an International Summit looked more like a zoom call between world leaders. Its also very truncated. Normally there are dinners, there are bilateral meetings, and all of this is a little bit of a blow to the saudi hosts. So i think were hoping to rehabilitate their reputation because certainly that has been shattered by their human rights actions with regard to the war in yemen. Internal repression in saudi arabia and the murder of the journalist, john walsh, show gs. Well, the g 20 summit being held in riyadh is again turning the spotlight on sunday.

S. Congress, members of parliament in the united kingdom. The list goes on and on, and so theres a widespread tide of discontent. And rejection of saudi arabias monarchy as a host for this event because of saudi arabias, for if its human rights record. Weve heard anecdotally that many governments have been engaging both publicly and privately because everyone is fed up. You know, the saudi arabias crown Prince Mohammed bin solomon and has been an extraordinarily reckless and brutal leader. He has plunged the next door neighbor, a country of yemen, into a coronavirus pandemic, through his repeated bombing and blockades of yemen, while simultaneously arresting people who have peacefully call for reforms inside saudi arabia. Not to mention sending a death squad to kill Jamal Khashoggi in turkey. So there is a global tide of criticism. And we have heard definitively that prominent leaders, both in the business and political communities, have been both privately and publicly calling on the saudi monarchy to change its behavior.
