And eightys with its leaders have said it will keep fighting. Ethiopias government says it no longer has Popular Support with the so no war fare component of the p. L. F.

Despite growing concerns about the more than 40000, people have fled to neighboring sudan. Some of them say they dont feel safe to go home as long as federal Government Forces are in control.

Injuries well beyond a get by christophes is a form ethiopian minister who served during the government. He left office shortly after promise to be ahmed came to power. He says, intention has always been to invade. Take ray, the government has refused, peaceful resolution of this problem. Refused to before the before the conflict before the initiation of this war is a fuse to engage in an exclusive the book and who prefer to talk today and invented. Right . They have invented to raise a noble peace prize winner of 2900, has invaded to die in order abberations, another state that was no need of having of the administration. The government is pushing for conflict as inveterate straw. Many sperm in the troops really are nearly tens of thousands and hundreds of nearly under 1000 troops are integral of this moment, the entire force of everyday as it air force Defense Force of ethiopia, in 10 billet of the im her agent. Our interest in reading is that if there are people, this is been a other administration and any allegations of crime war crimes can be investigated by an independent body. And people have to im sure the government will account for the United Nations says at least 110. 00 civilians have been killed and many more injured. And attacks on 2 villages in northeastern nigeria, Security Forces are looking for dozens more villages. It was still missing. Many of them boko haram. A suspected of being behind that attack the west on civilians and borno state this year. But it just reports from the nigerian capital of georgia. They traveled more than a 1000 kilometers to find jobs in one of the most dangerous places to live and work in nigeria. They ended up in the hands of boko out on bond and then slaughtered 43 victims laid to rest in the cemetery. But never seen anything like this in my life. You can see 43 dead bodies here up to now there is somebody yet to be recovered from this bush. Indeed, it is a frightening situation. A search is being carried out for dozens of others who are missing, but most are presumed dead. 60 fives are being treated in hospital for serious injuries. The state governor is turning to look to close for help. We shall ensure more recruitment of civilian j. T. And more hunters so that our people will take the fight to all the nooks and crannies of this area. The farm workers who are contracted to harvest crops, some 25 kilometers away from the city of my degree in the manner that they were killed to suggest they attack us. Careful not to attract attention. But last month, the armed group killed 22. 00 farmers in 2 separate attacks outside the regional capital of a degree. The president has issued a statement condemning the recent attack, but after a decade of such raids by boko haram and the ongoing ethnic violence, kidnappings and robberies. Many nigerians say the government is not doing enough to protect the United Nations resident representative issued a statement condemning the attack saying many women had also been abducted. And to 36000, nigerians have been killed by book quote. I am over the past 11 years. More than 2 and a half 1000000 of the displaced Security Forces out of us need losing this war. And despite the good, ive seen in the last 8 months or so, when i rode out constructed last night for many years, the Nigerian Government has been claiming victory of a book. But the armed Group Continues to attack. Both civilian and military targets was devastating results. This latest is one of the worst since the start of the book quote, i mean surrogacy that was launched 12 years ago and has now spread to neighboring chad cameroon and the ship, where thousands of civilians and security personnel killed the priest, al jazeera reporter for time a, as a politician envoy and i states house of representatives. He says the military needs to change the way that its fighting a sunset and see he made it to the dean of the nativity or but they need a new talk just because in so doing the boko haram tend to talk to every night. Because if you look at these other money i talk, yes they do. Its a completely different because for the past 7 to 8 months, there was no attack in these are just waiting to be a farm and not coming to the community. From what i think the military of the Nigerian Government needs to start implementing by others. If you cant even go out, if things are supposed to be in order, all the information must be utilized by the ability to shoot not to take the fight to the end. Collapse of the joe biden is being treated for a fractured foot a day before he set to receive his 1st president ial briefing. He is pushing ahead with his transition. A short while ago he unveiled his White House Communications team and his victory in the state of wisconsin. Was confound after a recount of the 2 biggest counties, which found no evidence of fraud. But donald trump insists he well continue to challenge the Election Results, but at speak to mike hanna, who joins us now from washington. D.

Jen psaki, putting out a tweet pointing out too that all 6 have young children, so it will be a very different white house and a biden. It would appear certainly from a Communications Point of view. Bidens receiving the personal daily brief. This is the intelligence information given to the president supposedly every day, although many reports indicate that President Trump has not been receiving the daily brief in recent days. President , trump himself continues to insist that there was fraud in the election is repeats of these allegations without providing any form of evidence whatsoever. But the fact that his attempt at a recount has failed in wisconsin, probably the final blow following a weekend. It which there were even more legal to be defeats for his team as he attempted to explore alleged fraud within the election. But now the Election Results are being certified.

For most of india, the weather is still very quiet. Weather for the air quality is still poor. Weve never had a president who has literally for 4 to 5 years, repeatedly attacked our democracy. You know, lose your letter to a complaint. You dont have a narrative. I have a question. Youre hitting there really where people cant get treated and it does feel so even further. Joining me, Richelle Carey and up front is my guess from around the world. Take a hot seat and we debate the weeks top stories in pressing issues here on aljazeera. Hello again, youre watching aljazeera. Thats remind you of our top stories here, this hour to grain forces, say theyve shot down an Ethiopian Military plane and captured the pilot a day after the Prime Minister declared victory in the region. Meanwhile, state media says at least 70 graves have been found in the degree in town of america. Least 110 civilians have been killed in northeastern nigeria and what the uns describing as a gruesome massacre at a phone is tending to crops many others were injured in the attack. The armed group, a book around the suspected of being behind that attack, the deadliest in borno state this year. And u. S. President elect joe biden is being treated for a fractured foot a day before hes set to receive his fast president ial briefing and wisconsins 2 largest counties. Have finalized a recount of votes that confirming biden as the winner. Now white house senior adviser, Jared Krishna will reportedly travel to saudi arabia, and in the coming days, a trip believed to be aimed at resolving the dispute between the neighboring countries. It all comes amid tensions in the region following the killing of an iranian scientist and also with just weeks left in the trumpet, ministration. Kirshner and his team have also helped negotiate deals with you, don bahrain and the u. A. E. To normalize relations with israel. Well, lets now speak to sigurd neubauer. Hes a middle east and gulf specialist, and also the author of the gulf region in israel, old struggles, new alliances. He joins us now from washington. D. C. Circuit, great to have you back. I want to start with the top line priorities here for the outgoing administration. They have by my count 51 days left to achieve whatever it is they want to or is trying to mend the skull. Frith close to top of that list. Yes, absolutely. We have really seen that for the past several weeks now, we have seen positive statements coming out both from saudi arabia and from qatar, indicating that there really is a solution between the book caving states and qatar appears to be in sight. And we have just seen just days ago, as a matter of fact, syria gets close to the saudi royal family have said publicly that Prince Mohammed of saudi arabia wants to quote, give the resolution to the gulf crisis as a gift to the coming bite in the administration, so this is positive rhetoric in the halls of the Expert Community and diplomatic sources that ive talked to over the past several months. All point to that, there are a solution this would incite, of course, we dont know whether or not a resolution to the crisis will be solved before trump leaves office, or immediately after biden takes office. So that is the question mark is, is really not if, but when i do want to ask you more about that because we saw a pump a 0 in the region about a week ago. And given that we are in a lame duck period, that just how much authority is this administration viewed as having abroad . Is there a sense that the by the administration might take a different approach in the region, especially with riyadh friends . Well, i think that when it comes to the gulf crisis, they owned the drug, the trumpet, ministration, and by the administration are, you are united when it is in this sense, dead ball for the value of the rift being sold as soon as possible. Because the crisis putting qatar and its neighbors was a manufactured crisis, it was a crisis that was based on false allegations. And all these, all these allegations have been proved to be on true and in the Expert Community understands that now. So why are the question is really, how do you get that back in order . So this is really a matter of semantics, but i think that also because jerry kirshner, as we know, has such a close relationship with Prince Mohammed, im sorry, best he can really lean on the Saudi Crown Prince and say, you know, what now is the time to close ranks, we are seeing iran becoming much more unstable after the assassination of the nuclear side. Us and now is really the time to, to unify washingtons gulf partner. So that is probably the message that he will be bringing to new york when he meets the Saudi Crown Prince. I want taking a bit of a step back a 2nd, as you say, this is all happening in the off to math of missed a factor that is assassination and terror on has been pointing the finger at israel, potentially even the u. S. So how does this visit fit into those regional dynamics . Well, i think that the region into a very dangerous situation, because we know that the incoming, by the ministration wants to resolve tensions with iran and wants to return to d. J. Superiority over the nuclear agreement. Where as the departing Drug Administration wants to put and continues maximum Pressure Campaign until the very last day of its time in office. And we dont know who is behind as assess the nation at this point. But if it is the americans, then it is consistent with the maximum Pressure Campaign. So it creates another uncertainty to a very dangerous region, because we dont know how do you any and will respond to this whether day will again demonstrate shortage of patience or whether they want to bench at this, assess a nation that and this adds another layer
