States position as a world leader. And during this global pandemic, we look at another threat putting the lives of millions of women. A risk with the sports tennis is a strange looks like it could be delayed because of a dispute over how players will quarantine when they get to we begin in northern ethiopia, where after nearly 3 weeks of fighting a deadline imposed by the government for to Ground Forces to surrender is set to expire later on wednesday, the federal army has surrounded to grays capital nicolay and is threatening the use of artillery on the city of 500000. People to grand leaders deny claims that their faces of the guns surrendering when he appears Prime Minister ahmed ahmed is asking the Internet Community not to interfere. While we appreciate and understand the interest of the International Community to assist the ongoing Law Enforcement operations, we would also like to underscore that this must be done in accordance with international law. He said, this 1st and foremost means the International Community should stand by until the government of ethiopia submit sits requests for assistance to the community of nations. I also said that the reported massacre in the town of my contra is evidence of the t. P. M. Laughs, criminality. Newly released video appears to show graves and bodies if the of his state appointed Human Rights Commission is accusing members over to grand youth group of killing around 600 civilians. Earlier this month, the United Nations is calling for an impartial investigation. And many of those escaping the fighting from my khadr have arrived in sudan, but have had to leave Family Members behind us. Here morgan has spoken to some of them when fighting came to her hometown of make had to and if the decree region, how to testify fled with most of her children. But she had to leave her 2 oldest daughters behind in tikrit capital, another high then they went to stony mccully with this school is when the fighting started and there was no way for me to contact them. Now i dont know where they are and how they are doing. They said they didnt have enough money before the fighting started. 1. 00 is 14. 00 and 1. 00 is 15. Are they being feed . Are they being taken care of their only children . Since the fighting started integrate in early november, more than 40000, people have fled to sudan states of aid organizations say more than 5000000 are trapped in the region with no access to humanitarian aid. Sudanese Authorities Say nearly 3000 people arrive every day, get as they had while i arrived here 2 weeks ago. Since his arrival has been searching for the parents of these 3 children. When the fighting came to the town of mark kendra, everyone started running. These 3 siblings were in the town and seemed lost. So i took them with me. I tried to look for their parents, but i couldnt find them or even used loudspeakers among those displaced. When all filed, i came with him to the scamp. His government has imposed a Telecommunications Blackout in the to green region. Since the start of the fighting with malfunctioning 4 lines of internet access, families who have left loved ones behind say theyre not sure if theyre still alive. Most have started the process of tracking their parents or children, hoping theyve arrived in sudan, but are in a different camp. And as more of arrive, the number of families separated by the conflict is rising. Sudanese Authorities Say theyre not sure how many children have been separated from their parents or how many mothers and fathers left their children behind. Aid organizations say efforts are being made to reunite families. Unfortunately, as you know, children and women are always the disproportionate impact of an influx of refugees. And we have social workers who are working with them as well as the police. And they are in safe place at the moment. And were going to be starting tracing their families with our c. R. C. But for those like me who have left their children behind, the process is yet to start. She says she can only pray her daughters are still alive and someday make it to the camp. If not, she has to wait until the fighting and to go back and look for them. And shes not sure how long that will take, and who joins us live european, charlies in the sudanese border. Whats the situation of people still arriving . Yes, indeed. Now if you look at the people behind me, especially those who have stacks and some bags with carts there, most of them are people who have arrived just a few minutes ago and are waiting registration. And here where theres a lot of food aid, these are people whove been waiting for days to be able to get Food Distribution from aid organizations. So the numbers are practically increased over the past couple of weeks that when we arrived here, just about 3 weeks ago when this camp was opened, there were about 3000 people. Now this camp alone hosts more than 15000 people and thats something that the sudanese Authorities Say they cannot handle without help from the International Organizations and the International Community. And this is just here in this camp alone. Now, the figures are rising more than the faster than the authorities here, expecting and faster than the United Nations was expecting. It has projected that 200000. 00 refugees would arrive to sudan in the next 6 months. Should the conflicts continue in the region . But right now theyre close 250000, the conflict in the region is not even one month old. So there are concerns that the number of 200000 refugees here in sudan would be reached earlier than expected. Which is why sudanese Authorities Say they need more assistance to be able to cope with the influx. I could see everyone with so many people arriving well. No, the way you see behind me right there, these are shelters. Basically that are for mostly people who have arrived again just a few minutes or a few hours ago and they will be registered throughout the day. Now. 7 most of them again, are we going to include them in their list for distribution, and they say thats because they havent eaten for days. Some of them have gone 10 days without meals because they say that theyve been hiding in the bush. And then came here to the refugee camps and then had to wait for extradition. So they say it was a long way before they were able to be put on the list for any distribution. And theyve been saying that they are in desperate need of aid. Now the organizations the unit that they have talked to in anticipation of the refugees that will arrive over the coming weeks. But they say that this talk that they have put in place here and in neighboring state from other projects around the country. Therefore, they need to restock that and they need more help to be able to do that, which is there a civil war going reporting live from a camp for displaced people .

And in sports with joe, the n. B. A. Basketball star who sent to sign a deal worth 163000000. 00. America is back. Thats the message from president elect, joe biden. As he moves ahead with preparations to take charge in the oval office, hes unveiled some of his senior cabinet picks, men and women who he says will restore americas leadership in the world. Scheiber times reports now from delaware. President elect biden was unequivocal. As he presented his National Security appointments and nominees, its a team that reflects the fact that america is back ready to lead the world. Not retreat from it. Once again, sit at the head of the table, ready to confront our adversaries, and not reject our allies ready to stand up for our values. Much was made of the backgrounds of the nominees as examples of the american dream. Linda thomas greenfield, nominated as u. S. Ambassador a 100 mile cus, id like to, you know, immigrant nominated to lead the department of Homeland Security and avril haynes, the 1st female director of national intelligence. If confirmed mr. President , you know that i have never shied away from speaking truth to power. But for all the talk of diversity, this is a National Security team that symbolizes the return of the washington Foreign Policy establishment after 4 years in the cold. None more so than secretary of state nominee tony blinken, deputy secretary of state under president obama, and a long time Foreign Policy adviser to biden. Hes known to be far more of an advocate for u. S. Military intervention around the world than the president elect. Lincoln has spent the last few years consulting for weapons manufacturers and big tech america at its best. Still has a greater ability than any other country on earth to bring others together to meet the challenges of our time. But biden has pledged fresh thinking on Foreign Policy, perhaps a recognition that a key reason that some voters switched from the democrats to trump in 2016 was their disappointment that president obama had not brought the change in Foreign Policy. He promised, and bidens incoming National Security adviser did speak of an approach to Foreign Policy, not traditionally expressed in washington, the alliances, we rebuild the institutions. We believe the agreements we signed, all of them should be judged by a basic question. Will this make life better, easier, safer for families across this country . Our Foreign Policy has to deliver for the its biden is making one key change, a special president ial envoy for climate. John kerry will sit on the National Security council with a pledge to make the environment central to policymaking across government. But there is some skepticism of the washington insiders being chosen will be the one with to deliver a fresh policy thinking. The president elect is promising. She ever turns the aljazeera wilmington, delaware. So that was the president on legs. Lets find out about the president s. Lets go live to our White House Correspondent, kelly hellcat in washington. Nothing much on the president s official agenda today, but we hear that he might be leaving the white house soon. Where is he going . Yeah, this is not on the official schedule, but its raising some eyebrows because what we are hearing is being widely reported that donald trump is set to travel to the battleground state of pennsylvania, just north of washington, d. C. In the coming hours. Why . Well apparently he is meeting with Pennsylvania State lawmakers and to discuss alongside his lawyer, rudolph giuliani, who has been waging this battle since november 3rd election day. The possibility of reversing the outcome of the 2020 u. S. Election at least the results in pennsylvania, which are pivotal now. So far the effort by the campaign as well as riddle of giuliani to do this has been unsuccessful and we should point out this follows a meeting that was very similar with michigan lawmakers here at the white house within the last week between the president and the state legislators there ultimately telling the president that they really had no evidence that would reverse the result of their states vote, which was cast a decidedly for joe biden. And thats also the case with pennsylvania. Still, it appears this meeting is set to take place about 1730. 00 g. M. T. At a hotel in gettysburg, pennsylvania. And we should point out that even as the president is holding these meetings, both of those states have certified their votes. That means made them official. Now for joe biden, Donald Trumps rival, is someone smacks of desperation. Why would the president be both going to do this . Yeah, thats whats really unclear to so many people because you have to remember that legal efforts and challenges in both of these states have been a failure. In fact, there was a case that was tossed out by a judge in pennsylvania. That basically said that the accusations by the campaign that theres been widespread voter fraud has been as they put it, speculative accusations. Now the campaign says, look, we didnt have a whole lot of time to investigate. There was such widespread fraud. And so what it appears is that they are now continuing to investigate, continuing to pursue these cases, even as donald trump has now admitted and, and is working with the transition of joe biden and kamel harris. Hes recognized that he will not have a 2nd term but seems to term and to prove that he won the election despite the results that seem to suggest otherwise. And as it was, White House CorrespondentKelly Holcomb reporting live from washington. Could be many things. A large rally is being held in thailands capital bangkok, in the latest show of defiance against the government on the mauna kea for months. Now, demonstrators have been calling for reforms, including a new constitution and codes on the kings powers and wealth. Lived out a bank call consciousness, cant hide at those protests that have been going on for some time today. Now, scott, any trouble that this time . A. J. . Yeah, its been going on for about 3 or 4 hours now. No trouble whatsoever. And its actually really kind of a night market atmosphere, as you might be able to see behind me. And its quite different from what it was expected to be. This is the alternate venue, if you will. The original venue was the crown, the property bureau, which is in the old part of bangkok, a very sensitive area near a lot of sensitive areas and important areas to the monarchy. In particular, even though that euro itself, they wanted to go there. And you see the protesters because they want to make a mark, make it known that they disagree with how mccain is managing his money, his fortune 30000000000. 00, the supposedly worth. So what they did is they came here to see him commercial Bank Headquarters still here in bangkok, thats because he owns 23 percent. The largest shareholder in this bank see of course the bank. So they came here to make the same point, and i say its a very different atmosphere because over at the, of the original venue like the military and the police put up a very large and very fortified structure around structures around that bureau. There. They used even shipping containers stacked on top of each other, razor wire. So here its a much different atmosphere, but theyre still making the same point. What they want is transparency with the money that the king have. Before 2 years ago, the bureau, the property bureau, the Crown Property bureau, was managed by a board of directors, as well as in, influenced by the ministry of finance when any major decisions were made that was changed 2 years ago. By now, it was all transferred over to the crew himself, so he is the sole manager if you will, of the entire fortune. And thats of the protesters are making a very specific point about today, and thats why theyve selected this location. Now that is one of 3 of the main points that the protesters have been making over these last several months since july. The 1st is they want the Prime Minister to resign. They want a new constitution and 3rd, they want monica reform today, making the point that they want the reform on the transparency of the fortune of the money that became yes, many thanks. Indeed, on serious thought, highly reporting live from bangkok. Heres a closer look at what the protest is, a demanding at 1st they wanted Prime Minister to resign. They also called for a new constitution and other government reforms has refused to resign. Demonstrators also want reforms that would limit the power of the king. That includes reversing changes that give him possible control of a royal fortune worth tens of millions of dollars. The royal palace has made no comment since the protests began. Although the king did say that thailand was a land of come from bias. Is head of the asia program with the human rights organization, article 19, he joins us now by via skype. From bangkok you probably heard my discussion with scott matthew, this protest today largely peaceful demonstrators have permission to be there. The authorities seem to be well, not so much being heavy handed with the with the protesters and the why do you think that is . Well, i think we need to keep in mind what happened last week where the police used Water Cannons and tear gas were in the or on protesters and the use of the of these, not only the weapons has been entirely unjustified, theres been no credible reports that prodemocracy protesters. d threaten the safety of others or serious damage to property rights. Im very happy to hear that theres, theres not been the use of force tonight, but that has not been the case in recent weeks. The demonstrations have been a, she said that this has been a use of force, but the demonstrations have been tolerated, to a certain extent. I mean, if the authorities didnt want to go ahead, i mean they, theyd use extreme force. Would they get rid of these, these demonstrations . Well, listen, theres a, theres a very bad precedent here in thailand. Previous protest movements have ended in extreme violence. And frankly, my colleagues and i are concerned about the use of force against protesters or violence either by the state or by nonstate actors. So we think that its really im
