Making it illegal to publish pictures of Police Officers, turn into demonstrations against Police Brutality in iran, of the assassination of a top nuclear scientist, and a promise for revenge in due time and private 1000. 00 infections. A break more records in the United States Health Experts warned that the west may still be yet to come. But if your fears Prime Minister says the 3 week long military operation in the northern tier, a region is now if this, after the army announced its now gained full control of the regional capital. But the leader of the Peoples Liberation front has vowed to keep fighting against government forces. The t. V. L. F. Says the Ethiopian Military used artillery and air strikes to capture the city. And thousands of people are believed to have been killed in that offensive. The United Nations is pushing for access into t. Gray to provide much needed food and shelter, and also appealing for 150000000. 00 in aid. This conflict has already forced more than 40000. 00 people from ethiopia into neighboring city don. I will have more on the humanitarian situation in a moment, but 1st, lets hear from malcolm webb, whos following events for us from neighboring kenya, the pending on the, on the whereabouts of the grand leadership. And also the, i mean they, i mean, just a few days ago, we understood they controlled tens of thousands of fighters and substantial military hardware and they have had several months to prepare for this conflict. It was, it was, it was in the pipeline for quite some time. Now the t. B. I. Left began their story in the 1970 s. As a guerrilla Rebel Movement hiding out in the mountains in the to great province of ethiopia, they overthrew in 1901, a marxist government controlled ethiopia in the seventys. In the eightys. Then they dominated ethiopias politics. And its military for almost 30 years into a Prime Minister and the army took over 2 years ago. Now if they do indeed still control substantial numbers of troops and military hardware, then the certainly a fear that they will have taken those back into the mountains. And may continue or may resume this conflict as they began as a Guerrilla Force fighting from those mountain hideout, the United Nations high commissioner for refugees. Filippo grandi has visited the oracle, the camps near sudans, eastern border with ethiopia. He says much more support is needed for the refugees that i want to join those who are, who are calling even more urgently for mediation and end of conflict. Because this is what these people around me are fleeing and theyre still fleeing. The numbers have decreased the numbers of our rivals, but still theyre in their hundreds for a day yesterday, i was at the border and i met people just arriving more than 500 arrived yesterday through the various crossing points. I want to be on record to praise for having kept its borders open. Sudan already has a 1000000, refugees, countless displaced people, and yet it kept its borders open. It provided the 1st assistance. And now im here to coordinate and boost International Support to sudan and mobilize resources for this response to be effective. We have some challenges. People are arriving at the border in various points. We have to transport them to sites like this one where i am. Its an 8 hour drive through difficult, broads, on flimsy buses. Its not easy to do all this. It takes a bit of time, but i had meetings with the authorities here in the region today. And i think we are beefing up by the way. Im returning to her tone tonight, and i am going to appeal on behalf of all humanitarian agencies for 150000000. 00, for the next 6 months. Well, thats now the horn of africa analyst and also a Senior Research fellow at the institute of studies. He joins us now from london. Martin, i want to start in itself. I know information is scarce, given the Communications Blackout weve been seeing. But what do we know about the situation actually inside the city and, and the potential civilian toll that this could have wrecked . Well, if indeed the artillery began at about 10 oclock this morning and by Late Afternoon they captured the city. This is the federal forces, then that is a considerable achievement. And it would suggest that the as have pulled their heavy artillery and most of their people out of the city because theyre said to have had Something Like 200000 men at their disposal. Now if they really thought too cold the city, you wouldnt have been able to take it in just a few hours. So a month from the tape l. F. Is also valid to continue the fighting. Is that realistic . Do you think in the face of what abby is calling victory or will be potentially to see a shift in the nature of the conflict itself . I think its highly likely we will see the shift in the nature of the fighting back to a guerrilla war. As malcolm was telling you a bit earlier. And there is some other news which is just come in. May i read it to you . It is from the u. S. Embassy in eritrea website, and it says as follows, at about 10, 13 pm on november 28th us today there were 6 explosions in s. Mara, the embassy again advises all u. S. Citizens in eritrea to continue to exercise caution remain in their homes now that would suggest this is after mccully would have fallen. So this is yes that the to gray and still have rockets under their control, are still able to hit the eritrean capital. And as you say, this is already perhaps, unsurprisingly, given the history here spilled over into eritrea. And weve also seen these tens of thousands of refugees crossing over into, through don. Can you give us a sense of what this might mean for the broader beaching Going Forward . Well, this clearly is a regional war. Now, the eritreans had a number of divisions on the northern border and were involved in the fighting. We have heard substantiated reports that some of the refugee camps for that the eritreans were living in that they were raided by eritreans. And that they took some of the young people on to the frontline in mckellar. And were using them to fight, which would be of course, completely against humanitarian law. As the u. N. Representative was saying to earlier, he is now inside sudan. The real question now is, will the sudanese allow aid and assistance into to grey including perhaps things like fuel which the 2 grands will desperately if theyre going to mount a guerrilla war as they did for nearly 2 decades, until 991. Is that going to happen . So already this is a regional conflict or just coming back to take great self. I meant i went to great held elections back in the region in september. The ones that addus refuses to recognize. The t. P. A. Life itself won an overwhelming public mandate. Something like more than 98 percent of seats. How do people who are living, integrate, feel about abby and the politics here going beyond the conflict itself . Well, of course, hes deeply unpopular in iran and you know, you dont exactly love someone whos waging a war against you, but in the rest of ethiopia, of course, it is popular, they would be popular now, if he had genuinely has managed to win this victory, that he claims, but if it descends into a long term guerrilla war, then people in the rest of the country are going to turn around and say, do we really want to send our sons and daughters to the northern border into those deep mountains . Which the to grans of health care, so many years, and let them fight there and die. So what could be popular now . Might, in the longer term, become very unpopular dever already saying violence and unrest in other parts of the country. And plan out there from the institute have come off, study with great care you inside. Turn on to there. Thanks for being with us, michael. Thank you. Im moving on and thousands of people have been protesting across france against us security, all restricting the filming, and publishing of place officers faces anger against the law has also been fueled by video of the beijing racial abuse for black music producer by a Police Correspondent attash about reports from the capital. Despite some clashes between demonstrators and police, this protest in paris was largely peaceful. Thousands of people gathered in the center of the city to rally against part of a planned law that would crack down on peoples freedom to film and publish images of police on duty. The french government says it would protect the identity of Police Officers. Those here say its an erosion of rights, its out of bounds. Its important not to let this law pass because it would destroy our freedom to inform, especially when were seeing lots of Police Violence. And even if those offices are minority, it is too much coverage of dora tarion trend is pushing us to say to the government. They must stop and change direction and let the police know that there are these red lines. The protest comes just days after the broadcast of this shocking video, a black music producer, brutally beaten by police. And earlier in the week, an inquiry was opened off to some officers were filmed, beating migrants, and journalists, as police cleared a migrant camp. Without such videos, people here say some Police Officers could act with impunity. Its not only these protesters that are angry about the lure, a number of employees and senators of also expressed concern and even the un seamen Rights Council has called on france to protect freedom. So bad, its putting a lot of pressure on the french government. The crisis prompted french president emanuel macro to post a message on social media. He condemned the recent images of Police Violence and urged his government to propose solutions, restore Public Confidence in the police force, and protect rights. But those here say, unless the government scraps the laws controversial close, they will continue to protest. The aljazeera paris, irans Supreme Leader has a valid to retaliate for the assassination of the countrys top nuclear scientist. Most in fact, result, i was killed on friday and tear on spending. Israel accusing it of trying to create chaos. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu hasnt commented, but has put all israeli embassies on high alert at a sabbat reports from tehran. Protesters outside parliament, demanding revenge. And for iran to stop nuking spec sions by the International Atomic energy agency. The anger follows the killing of top scientists to most in fact it is gunned down by attackers in his car in, a suburb in easton to her on friday. His family speaking on state t. V. , also called for revenge. He was a scientist and at the same time, a very kind and affectionate husband who loved his country. I plead to others to continue his path and to not let his blood go in vain. His pot was very important for him and his blood was spilled for it as fixed borders on you. I tell the world arrogance that if they were afraid of this mosque and this countrys progress, and if they were worried about progress made by this mosque, you must be scared of his blood a 1000 times more. The worlds arrogance has to know that by killing people like factories are the this path of progress will not be stopped. President Hassan Rouhani blamed israel for the assassination of irans, most Senior Scientist been more am what i would say. The relevant authorities will respond to this crime in a timely an appropriate manner. The iranian nation is smarter and wiser than falling into the trap of the zionist conspiracy. The Supreme Leader, ayatollah khomeini, also pledged to retaliation, asking for the perpetrators to be firmly prosecuted for the work of others to continue. Iran has launched an investigation in what is an embarrassing breach of security. But political factions differ about what the response should be. This latest incident will impact on any plans u. S. President elect. Joe biden has for talks with iran on the nuclear deal known as a joint comprehensive plan of action or j. C. Reached in 2015. I think you will make any negotiations on the j. C. P. A way, much more complicated and not just from the american side. I think its going to be difficult enough for president biden, but its further complicated by the reaction in iran to this killing are one of their most Senior Scientists. And you have the Upcoming Elections in iran in a few months. So its going to make it even more difficult for the moderates. Who would like to see a pattern up in the j c. P. O. Way. For now, the world is watching and waiting to see what iran will do next. Irans reformists want to save the 2015 nuclear deal. That means waiting for joe biden to take office and hope the u. S. Rejoins undef sanctions. The conservatives seem to have run out of patience. I want to stop i. A. E. A. Inspections. Others want to strong response. The country has fired one, but no one knows where, when or what form that will take assad. Big al jazeera, the front well still ahead here on aljazeera by some remote latin American Communities fair. A long recovery from the coronavirus identical despite optimistic that seeing new it was an artist take part in a red demonstration in cuba. A country with a little tolerance for protests. The santa ana winds are blowing again, quite strongly particular in the afternoon. And this is just north of los angeles when this happens. Of course, particular when its dry, theres big fire risk. The disconnect the power to stop the power lines shorting out, which sometimes does start the fire as people accept it. As significant weather the forward rain is, is down. The texan coast has been running twice actually from texas towards the the florida panhandle. The next forecast takes a bit further, the further east and north. We suggest flash flooding. Weve had street flooding in new orleans or ready, the one that keeps going northeast with it tucks in behind. Its going active system. Fairly cold weather. It was significance there, reaching down to georgie on the it is not quite atlanta, which means the war in the wet here on the east coast. Be replaced by this coldest air. Moving off with the biggest document out of the cascades as well as come off the pacific, but doesnt get much further south until the middle of the week. In the caribbean, things are now much quieter than they were. This general refuse showers in honduras and nicaragua, particular east coast, and its probably wetter in costa rica than panama. But beyond that, theres nothing significant. This frontal system does come in your notice, and i think western cuba will be rather wet by the end of monday. American people have finally spoke in america as i see it. There it is all around the world becomes more dangerous. The latest looking for the next year of sanderson with the election behind us, the republican party. Dont trust your weekly take on us politics and society. Thats the bottom all told an Untold Stories from asia and the 1st civic on the aljazeera. The in the world. Hello again on the style. Heres handoff. Lets remind you of our top stories here. This hour. Ethiopias Prime Minister says the weeks long military operation and the Northern Region is, or if the army says its in full control of the regional capital, met l. A. , but the leader of the Peoples Liberation front has vowed to keep fighting government forces. There were violent scenes during protests in france against a security law restricting the filming, and publishing of Police Officers faces anger against the law has been fueled by video of the beating and racial abuse of a black music producer by police. And iran is vowing retaliation for the killing of its top nuclear scientist. Terror on blames israel for most in fact, result is assassination. The European Union has described the killing as a criminal act. The e. U. And the un are calling for restraint. Now, corona virus infections in the u. S. Have almost doubled in november compared to october and for the 1st time on friday, the number of new cases topped 200000 that takes the total over 13000000. 00. The number of people hospitalized with 1000 has also doubled in the past month. To pass 90000 and experts here, the record rate of hospital admissions. After the thanksgiving weekend, mike hanna has more from washington d. C. The pandemic is spread out pretty evenly throughout most of the United States, and certainly these figures are utterly horrific. In november alone, there were 4000000 new cases of corona virus reported. Now that is double the number in october, which in itself was an all time record for the month in all on average, some 170000. 00 plus new cases are being reported every day. The 205000 cases reported on friday the slightly skewed because a number of states didnt report on thursday, which was thanksgiving day. So that was 2 days data. But this is offset by the fact that a number of Testing Centers have closed for this holiday period. So the amount of testing being done is down, so the figures may well be even higher than they appear at present. So of great concern to Health Workers and Health Officials and pointing to to the fact that the impact of the massive travel during this holiday week can only be properly gauged in a week to 10 days. And they are fearing that the use horrendous statistics are likely to get even worse. Theres been nothing from president directly seeing the situation for a period of time. Now.
