And in school theres an old familiar name of the top of the Italian League table to swallow. It moved into 1st place after its true. Know when its true and welcome to news hour. Ill talk story in a dramatic escalation, ethiopias Prime Minister has issued a 72 hour ultimatum to forces in the dissident region of to gripe.

The Reuters News Agency has been reporting that to grind forces have destroyed roads and bridges. Just slow down the government offensive. The oaths, Ethiopian Military plans to surround the city with tanks and artillery in an effort to end the nearly 3 week war, according to, a military spokesman. And in an address on state, t. V. , residents were told to save themselves and leave the city while they still had the time to do so. The Prime Minister abu ahmed says, all humanitarian needs will be addressed, and these government would help with the eventual return and reintegration of refugees. There is mamma. Doha has more now from ethiopias capital. The Government Forces i yet to reach the outskirts of the city of mccullough couple of the to grove region. But they are already talking about how they are plumb on how they want to seize start city, which is not only the biggest city in the to grow region, but also the stronghold of the 2. P. L. O. Leaders. Prime minister of this government does put it to see cup should. Now theyre saying to finish the wall, what is going to happen in the mountainous areas surrounding mckillop . There will be needing tunks and also to live in fired into this city, targeting military installations there on the differences of the 2 people saying there were also use franks and drawn up tucks against the defenses on its of cuts before. If you had been much more Defense Forces advanced towards the field fields on the outskirts of the city, they have been dropping overnight and lift lots warning civilians not to go anywhere near military installations and to stay at home. But its not normal. The civilians who are already freezing, shortage of food, and other basic essential can do other than flee. Well, as mohammed was mentioning there, briefly, tens of thousands of refugees have fled the conflict crossing the border into sudan. Unicef says about 45 percent of them are children. The u. N. Has asked for 200000000 dollars to help on the refugee crisis and sudan. It estimates more than 200000. People might cross the border in the next 6 months, often without food, water, or basic supplies. And many of the people who fled to sudan say they have nothing. This is good. There is no water in the stuff here is very expensive. There is no food, water, shelter, where a little kid is with us. And they are starving here. They were not in our good, nobody are going. We came with no means we are poor people. We were told not to go to work, not to go out. There was a curfew where we came from. We had to labor in the fields and we were not allowed to do any other work. We were like president s, if you want to say that the game is people. This elimination want to get people. So it is just unfair to them. Its not just saw this, we need freedom or done any form or done come from the reef, which comes we need it for that we need to move to our country. So we need to freedom that union. The United Nation is some list of people, some of the big social want us, you know, we are in need, in this whole lives. So, you know, the mission is, so i have a responsibility on us. Im now joined by the emergency coordinator with the uns Refugee Agency for sudan joins us by skype from khartoum. And as we were reporting just there of the 10s of thousands who fled to sudan, some 45 percent of them are children. Or can you tell us about the, the challenges and the situation that they are facing there . I mean, the 1st challenge is that in just over 2 weeks, about 40000, people have by now fled to sudan units, you are in our government partner corps. We have registered these people here. They need immediately food, safe drinking, water, shelter, and sanitation at the border. They dont get sick. So, so this is a challenge in a very remote area of used in sudan. The other important point right now is to decongest the border points. These people cannot stay at the border area thats not the place to, to have a refugee camp. So we are currently building a new camp, further inland, and about 70 kilometers distance from the border has caught them. Weve had the 1st convoys transferring people there and were receiving them there in the Reception Center and giving them shelter and food and other Assistance Services in that location. Ethiopias military has, is determined to resolve this once and for all to, to alst the t. P. S. From the region. It seems that the military assault on the offensive could get much worse. What could that mean for the influx of refugees . De we dont have to recite right now. What is happening inside of your vehicles . We dont have access to that area in that its very difficult to assess that right now. I think our priority here right now is to cope with the humanitarian situation unfolding on the border with sudan and the and to get the Assistance Services through that many people. And thats such a short span of time. And thats a real challenge because we need to mobilize just ticks and so on, staff and lifesaving Assistance Services. I dont want that. Oh, sorry, forgive me. I was just, i was just at home when it was just looking at images, actually of god written at refugees who have gathered there. And the concern is that actually the number of red refugees could spiral 2200000, fleeing the current violence. So you know, how quickly are you able to mobilize supplies and resources . So, you know sean, parnell sweeps, weve always this sense that the court relief items for over thought is that 40000, people to that region w. P. S. , mobilizing food for over 60000. And we have more supplies coming. Were also planning a lift of some supplies to sudar, such as tents and other relief goods. It is a challenge with the difficult road access to that area. Theres often no roads to leading to these border points or there in a very bad condition. And just the simple scale of the, of the influx. Then there is the human element. I mean, some of the people who arrive here are, you know, are very worried for their safety. One day when they were in ethiopia, are some people still look over their shoulders while theyre here and are wondering, you know, if theyre now in safety the i just met myself, a family with a young baby. And then i asked that the mother, how old is the baby you . She said it was 10 days old. So basically this family has crossed the border of a newborn. So theyre very moving scenes here and very difficult scenes, i think for everybody. And we were now mobilizing the required 8 services. What about the program that youre running in sudan itself because there are massive amount of refugees on sudanese soil friend eritrea, Central African republic, south sudan, a, youre able to at a label to raise funds. I mean, this is so i think this leads to research as well. And so there are now a difficult situation comes to an already challenging situation with all the circumstances. So darn hosting 1000000 refugees already 2 point 4000000. 00 internally displaced. Now this comes as an additional burden, nevertheless, would have seemed when visiting the border areas over the last 3 years. The local community used to ship out a little bit there where you were coming to the refugees. You were thora to use, you know, have also been great, theyve allocated, learned for the construction of a new camp, the border so often for those who need to seek asylum. So at least you know, thats the most immediate protection we can offer. Is that that right to seek asylum of the people can cross the border. So these are very positive points, but thats besides additional aid is needed and with the current requirements cool, far beyond the resources we have right now here on the ground, all the best with your men. Thank you for joining us on the news Agency Coordinator of the Refugee Agency for sit down. Thank you very much. Still ahead for you on this news out from london has been fury in guatemala city. Demonstrators stormed congress, enraged by a controversial budget. And then from abandoned buildings to a high tech, how about how queens plans to extract itself from damage and joost recession and then a transport not likely penalty shootout here i saved his teenage son. United states is hoping to begin a Sweeping Program of vaccinations against the corona virus. In early december, head of the White House Vaccine Task force says a plans to vaccinate 20000000 people before the end of the year 2. That seems out for approval in early december set to have have said to be 95 percent effective. Our plan is to be able to ship vaccines to the immunization sites within 24 hours from the approval. So i would expect maybe on day 2, after approval on the 11th or on the 12th of december, hopefully the 1st people will be immunized across the United States, across all states. In all the areas where this, the state department of health will have to told us where to deliver the vaccine thats going to chaper towns in wilmington, delaware. So it any more details on that when this could happen at the immunization plan itself. As you mentioned, 1st vaccinations expected off the f. D. A. Approval expected of the approval of the some of the chance of 11 from 12. Its quite a bishop schedule way faster than the and we had, we had expected the experts now saying from the administration, theyre hoping for herd immunity by april may of next year 70 percent vaccination uptake, but by them, which is kind of amazing really, i guess a lot does depend on how Many Americans choose to get vaccinated, and thats always rather worrying because of a lot of anti Vaccine Sentiment in the u. S. Some posting 40 percent of american suspicious, a vaccination is over. Theres a hope that once the vaccinations are rolled out more and more americans will choose to take the vaccination. In the meantime though, the main issue right now is the fax giving holiday on thursday with the c. D. C. Warning that this could become a major super spreader event. As families gather together, indoors, they travel around the country to visit each other. And theres a real concern about that, the c. D. C. Pleading with people not to travel for thanksgiving. Some evidence that americans are heeding those warnings on friday, a 1000000 people pass through the u. S. Is ports and thats less than half the truck. Number of travelers is on the same date the previous year, but still a lot of people are traveling. So theres a sort of suspense and fear as to what may come. We were already at 3000000 cases in november, so far, not even through november yet. So theres a great deal of concern about the spread. Were all spiking heavily in the u. S. Right now. Thanks very much average tense in wilmington, delaware. Meanwhile reports suggest u. K. Regulators could approve the pfizer biotech vaccine for use this week. Citing government sources. The telegraph newspaper is reporting form, an appraisal of the vaccine is about to begin in person. And National Health service has been told to prepare to administer the vaccine from december 1st if successful it would be approved in the u. K. Before regulators claim its use in the United States. Of course, the challenge in the long in the long term is really ensuring that vaccines distributed around the well, simon clark is an associate professor in cellular microbiology at university of reading. He says distribution of vaccine in the developing world could be difficult. Distributing is going to be the really difficult think this, we know with the pfizer accede that it requires storage at minus 7 feet to minus 80 degrees. And of course at many parts of the world, maintaining a cold chain like that is already difficult. So that level of severity of colds, and ill remind you that normal domestic freezer is a mind, it minus 20 degrees, adds the serious never the complexity. So, while of the developed world, it will be relatively straightforward, although not without problems along the way. And in the developing world, it could be able to fickle the moment all at risk people and the body from about the age of 60 needs to be vaccinated, because we dont know whether its even possible to vaccinate against transmission of this virus. We know from the data that we have from pfizer already, that it gives protection against disease or kids getting sick. We have no idea currently whether it predict protects people from actually picking up the virus at all. So its entirely possible that people will be able to pick the virus up and pass it on to others, but not get sick themselves. So, if it cant do that, then all of a sudden you need to vaccinate. Basically everybody on the g 28 is a famous dishpan o. F. And they say making sure krajina virus vaccines are distributed fairly around the wild. But concluding that summit hosted by saudi arabia. A gay few specifics on exactly how this would be guaranteed. A diplomatic at is a james bays reports saudi arabias king solomon concluded this 2 day summit conducted by Video Conference and handed over to g 20 presidency to the italian Prime Minister giuseppe content. But then in a previously unannounced appearance, the kings son, crown Prince Mohammed bin sound man, made his own address. The man whos in day to day charge in saudi arabia and who human rights campaigners blame for the continued repression in the kingdom. Said the g 20 is actions and greatly helped the world deal with the pandemic of the fish in light of the outbreak of causes 19 whatever and its health, economic, and social repercussions that of the one a our coverage in has been important more than ever, or to have been about how together we have addressed this challenge with seriousness necessitated by the responsibility to preserve human lives, but to protect livelihoods. Many gave the ensuing damage demick and raise revenues to the base. Any which are crises, god forbid. But compare that with the demands of the International Medical and humanitarian community. The u. N. Secretary general, who is one of those who took part in the g 20, made it clear at a News Conference on friday. How much money was needed to get the vaccine to the poorest parts of the world. But 28000000000 more needed, including 4200000000 before the end of the it. This funding is critical for mass manufacturing, procurement, and delivery of new coffee, 1000 vaccines and tools around the world. That funding was one of 2 main asks by the secretary general, but its not here in the final declaration by g. 20 leaders. He also lost that debt relief offered by the g. 20 earlier in the year to some of the poorest countries on earth be extended to middle Income Countries who need it. Again, its not here and the g. 20 have fallen short. James plays aljazeera at the United Nations. Justin, darbyshire is chief executive of help h. , one of the aid groups that signed a humanitarian appeal to g. 20 leaders. As the commitment from the leaders today doesnt go far enough to help poor nations in crisis. The u. S. Secretary general was very clear his letter to the g 20 leaders in the run up to this that we needed to see the access to cope with 19 tools, etc. Later, they called me a c. T. A. Accelerator and it came back facility scaled up to have essential medical and prove basic health care in developing countries because of their we kill systems and because their economies are left equipped to cope with a challenge. We need that support, and it is an import coming through this g 20 summit and for she will going to see further ramifications of the code in 1000 pandemic banked populations across lower Income Countries in the coming. And in the coming months, we need early action to support the undermount cushion that resulting from a pandemic and the impact of the Global Economic recession. All the other big issue on the agenda was Climate Change that virtual g 20 summit in his final address. You, as president , donald trump defended his decision to pull out of the paris accords to protect american workers. I withdrew the United States from the unfair and one sided, paris climate accord. A very unfair act for the United States. The paris accord was not designed to save the environment there was designed to kill the american economy. I refuse to surrender millions of american jobs and send trillions of american dollars to the worlds worst polluters and environmental offenders. And thats what would have happened. Well, the Trial Campaign has just given notice that it will appeal a decision by judge to tonights request to block joe bidens win in the crucial state of pennsylvania. A federal judge dismissed the lawsuit on friday, saying the claim to prevent state officials from certifying the results was without merits. It was yet another legal setback for the trump team that in a few of them now, former governor of new jersey would be fellow republican, chris christie, and trump. Ally says the Legal Campaign has become fossick. Oh, the president s legal team has been a national embarrassment. They wont do it inside the courtroom. They allege fraud outside the courtroom, but when they go inside the courtroom, they dont put fraud and they dont argue fraud. This is what i was concerned ab
