Fled back conflict reports, a refugee camp in neighboring sudan. And the mysteries surrounding the assassination of irans Top Nuclear Scientist continues, as hes laid to rest and in school formula, one driver, roman groeschel, is set to leave hospital on chu. State follows his miraculous escape from that huge crush of sundays bahrain told us drug maker has announced it saskin, american and european regulators for emergency use of its Coronavirus Vaccine on monday. But thats after it got the final results needed to confirm that is more than 94 percent effective. But there is just behind pfizer and its german partner by own 2nd asking to start some vast summations in the u. S. In december or fines, or say theyre vaccine is 95 percent effective against the coronavirus . Well, the f. D. A. Says there will be a public debate over the evidence of each vaccine. Pfizers will be 1st, stop on december 10th. Maternal is set to happen a week later in across the atlantic. British regulators are assessing the forests are short, but theyre also looking at another from the u. K. Company, astra zeneca, which says their vaccine is on average 70 percent effective, but can be 90 percent effective depending on the dosage. Well, lets speak it out to our white house correspondents. Kimberly a whole kit. Really, lets start with this vaccine from the dearne. Are there seeking a mergence the approval . Is there any indication at this stage way in that the vaccine will be rolled . Well u. S. President term has always projected that it would the latest be by the end of the year. And there is the possibility of that timeline. But that would be very tight. Would be going to those who have the either front line workers or the covert morbidity is that would put people at higher risk. So those are those folks that would get it in terms of the wider, broader population. It would be some time after that. But the reason that modernity, pfizer are able to get this emergency approval has to do with the Public Health service act. And given the fact that a Public Health emergency was declared back in january earlier this year, that in fact what this allows us for this rapid production once there is the f. D. A. Approval. So as you mentioned, the hearings are sat december 17th for modernity and f. D. A. Hearing december 10th for 5 days or. And if those are approved, then it would be a matter of simply days or weeks before the production is underway. Now, we should also point out, in addition to the public benefiting from this, we also know that the Drug Companies themselves will benefit from this. They got a lot of money to do the trials and also the development from the u. S. Government. And they stand to make billions of dollars once this goes to market quite well, this news came really does come after Public Health officials in the United States were sending the alarm move for the recent thanksgiving holy urging people not to travel for that holds up because of course, we are in the middle of a pandemic of an advice, wasnt he by large parts of the population . What sort of impact is that having on the covert situation in the United States right now . Well, already cases are surging, but the fear is that 2 weeks from now, once that period has passed, that there could be a dire Public Health emergency. You have to remember that the american thanksgiving holiday is really one of the biggest holidays in the United States for visiting family. So a lot of people, in fact, millions of americans did not listen to the Public Health officials. They decided to go away for thanksgiving. That we know that millions of people passed or american airports, and also on the highways. And as a result, what the fear is of Public Health officials is that seeds have been planted around all 50 of the contiguous United States. And that this is really going to lead to a big outbreak moving forward. So what the concern is, is that try to mitigate this moving forward. So theyre telling people to stay at home, try to stay isolated, and also to get the cells tast it in order to at least get enough information to prevent the spread from going further. But already were seeing record numbers once again that weve not seen since march in terms of the hospitalizations and the fear is of Public Health officials. This is only going to get worse. Ok, camberley hope that their brain has the very latest from the white house. Thank you very much. And the disease specialists bring in the series, jonah hoey, hes joining us from a coup for testing in less, jonah, we heard about the situation there in the United States after the thanksgiving, holiday in the u. K. , where you are, is gearing up for facilities of its own with christmas just around the corner. So more preparations are being rolled for how the u. K. Can tackle the covert situation in the u. K. Were hearing that basically were 2 days away from the end of the 2nd book. Promising signs of infection rates have come down dramatically. All right, the reproduction rate is below one, the government wants to check the run up to christmas, of course. So were seeing here a mass testing regime of students, the latest step towards doing that and allowing a return to some degree of normality over christmas. Hundreds of thousands of students to be tested at 130. 00 plus universities. This is one of them to Monsters University in leicester. This is the core, the hub of the Testing Center in an all in a gymnasium here, a makeshift Testing Center. You may recall that back in the autumn students were shown to be pretty prolific carriers and spreaders of the virus. When they returned to campuses after the summer. The concern here is that they may see the virus back into their home communities, back to elderly relatives when they go back to christmas. And of course, this testing designed to prevent, prevent the rapid results test a self administered swab up the nose of in a concoction of chemicals applied to what looks like a pregnancy test. Giving a result within about an hour and students encouraged to do 2 or 3 of these tests over the course of the next week to 10 days. Why will . Because there are reliability concerns. The government itself has admitted that up to one in 5 cases. This test may return and in accurate results, so an imperfect system in short, but it will weed out a lot of cases. It will give some precious confidence of people returning home. And in that sense, a very important one and certainly is add to and how their life from lester, thank you. Now with the opiates Prime Minister has told parliament that federal forces have not killed a single civilian during the 3. Recon flits in the region. That insists the army will not destroy the regional capital mikhail a after capturing it at the weekend. But thats a great Peoples Liberation front say they are still fighting federal soldiers near the city. Hundreds of people have died and thousands forced to flee to neighboring. See don, that another person to get the most important. Every target has been signed and approved. The house can see that every missile launched is backed by a signature of authority. 99 percent of them hit their targets and 99 percent of them didnt have collateral. No countrys army can show this kind of performance. Our army is disciplined and victorious. They said you will destroy mckelway and so on. May kill is ours. It was built with our own resources. We are not going to destroy it. Not even a Single Person was affected by the operation. Well, malcolm webb has more now from nairobi in neighboring kenya. The government has said that its forces of control will live to grey region. Ever since it took the regional capital city of may, kelly on saturday. Prime minister ahmed has told members of parliament that the Government Forces didnt kill a single civilian in their operations. The t. L. s leaders are contradicting these claims. They say that many civilians were killed in government airstrikes, something that the government denies, and the to be elected. Leaders have also said that they shot down one of those military planes that theyve taken back one of the towns within the vicinity of mckelway. And also that theyre fighting on all fronts. The Prime Minister spoke person refuted these claims as delusional, but without journalists or humanitarian workers having much access to the region, athol and with the phone lines in the internet, cut off very difficult to verify any of these claims. But the red cross has said that in the city of macquarie, about 80 percent of the people in the hospitals have trauma injuries. They didnt say how the people got those injuries. But they did say that theres a serious shortage of medical supplies needed to treat them, and also a shortage of body bags. Well, lets get more now from samuel. Get itchy, hes a journalist at the reporter hunt, joins us live by skype from address about could have you with us on the news are were hearing there from these european Prime Minister at the not a Single Person was killed or affected by the operation there. Ill just say has been unable to verify this claim and we still dont have access to to gray region. Do you think we can take Prime Minister abi, at his words on this that no civilians have been killed or injured in this operation . You know, this conflict began, weve been hearing all kinds of stories including a report from the International Human rights watch, the tepee speaking now the Prime Minister speaking with the local children. This is going to the air and very frank, this information we only have to sit and listen to all of that. Without making any judgment. You have to know i live in addis ababa. Closer to the affected area. It kills me that i cannot go and verify it with information, but we have to take what the Prime Minister said. His words. Were going to win whenever we get a chance, were going to speak to the people or to go and buy the permission. But again, the conflict has affected not just the victims, but all of us are watching very from where it was in ethiopia. And it certainly isnt. Aljazeera has been able to get to refugee camps since he died. I mean, those people have clearly been affected by the fighting. And so we can get in the region though. What are you hearing about this conflict . We have these european Prime Minister claiming that, you know, they have one in to grade the t. P. O. Africa. I mean, theyre still fighting. What are you hearing in outer suburb about the state of the conflict as it is . Were hearing that there are a few fights here and there in the suburbs of macallan, but people are being affected, you know, and this kind of circumstance you have to listen to them. The victims in the sudan are telling us the horrors they lived through the u. N. The Human Rights Commission is alleging some kind of war crime is happening in ethiopia. Again, there are many accusations and we cant verify any, any of this information. The Prime Ministers, the Prime Minister, feels like hes a respected noble lawyer international, another respected organization, Human Rights Watch the same. The ethiopian Human Rights Commission, making all kinds of family case. And again, without going and buying this information, we cannot go to the air because we simply cannot. We get all this information from all sides. But theres no way of verifying that. But again, were speaking to the big guns in the sudan, and theyre telling us, or us people are being killed. People are being homeless, infrastructures are being destroyed. We just dont know who, how when you should lose it. Would you say that private or syrup is conducting this conflict in this way . The fact that the region is being sealed off, or were unable to talk to these people. As you mentioned, hes a nobel laureates. He shouldnt be afraid of the scrutiny. So what does this suggest to you with the, the iron curtain thats going right industry june. Again, i work for local media whenever were prevented from doing our jobs, whether its in ethiopia or any, any part of the world. We travel, you know, if you can, journalists no longer stay within our country. We travel in many countries, whenever we are prevented from doing our jobs. Its a disappointment with the guy or all over ethiopia. And you know, it was the Prime Minister who gave who gave us the freedom to report. d whatever we wanted in the 1st and 2nd year of his term becoming challenging. Thats for sure. But again, its a question to, you know, were just waiting to be allowed to go to the agree region and speak to the victims. Again. Were journalists and were present employees of the voiceless. Thats what we do. But we cannot travel to the area and we cant even find this information that contradicting one another was the feeling as just finally, samuel, when you talk to other reason your fears, other people in about this conflict, is there a sense that people feel this, this war is coming to advance, or is there a fear that this, you know, in some way, just the beginning, you know, in the open, when it opens in the public arena site, you see them giving blood making donations. When you know, with people that connection, that we did just a sad story, just there is no connection. They dont know the park, there isnt a war that the news and publication or theyre just, theyve been missing in action and there they are, like, were there. And it depends on who you are. But the Prime Minister said this conflict will end and i hope and expect just a moment for all of what sam cassidy there joining us live from about. Thank you very much indeed. Thank you. Thank you. Well, the dangers is, local volunteers are paying tens of thousands of ethiopian refugees in eastern sea. Dan regained a sense of normalcy in the makeshift camps. Mohammed viles has sent this report from one of those camps. Theres no blackboard or chalk or notebooks, but theres a sparkle of hope in the eyes of these young each open refugees trying to start a new life amid the toughest of conditions. The makeshift school at the camp is sponsored by the norwegian refugees council. One of the things were trying to do is to help give them a sense of normalcy, but a sense of stability by setting up some temporary learning spaces. So they could have some classes every day, something to do, but also something to learn from. And this really chaotic period of their life so far we set up 10 classes, 2 shifts a day. We hope that that is about 800 children that we can help in the 1st instance. Theres probably going to be a few 1000 children already. Theres an estimated 3000 children in this camp. Many of them had their education disrupted when fighting broke out between the job in federal army and that ukraine Peoples Liberation front. A few weeks ago, they were forced to flee with their families, relief agencies speak of a number of unaccompanied children in need of special care. Some are showing signs of trauma. Others are barely coping with the sudden change in their lives. Some have had it even worse, the letter sultan hasnt been able to find any trace of his wife and 2 young daughters. Since the 1st raids on the grain town of hormel by the Sudanese Border a few weeks ago. A little im a little animal. I just couldnt find them. They could be dead or alive, but theres no idea what happened to them. I was not home when the attack took place. People fled in every direction, they could. My family is gone. Were still at the camp and the us suddenly looks like an old place where some of the and its europeans here. Its history repeating, itself. Because back in the 1980 s. , this building served as a school for some of them asked child refugees. In the 1980 s. Effigies came here, fleeing a famine that coincided with and resulted from years of fighting between 2 great rebels and the Central Government of former communist dictator, mengistu, haile mariam. The animosity that conflict had created still lingers. Today here in the camp. Greens are teaching their children in english, not im heading, which is the main official language of the federal republic of each opiah. A sign of the mum of the task ahead for Prime Minister ahmed in his effort to restore National Unity or morocco benefit. You cant believe the Sudanese Border with it. Military camps in 3 cities in northern mali have been attacked at the same time. , explosions took place and go and many a car on bases that highways, u. N. , peacekeepers and foreign troops. No casualties have been reported. And no group has claimed responsibility for those attacks is experiencing frequent attacks by groups linked to al qaida plenty more still to come on this news hour including tough life lessons ceroc e students are back in the classroom but catching up on lost schoolwork isnt the only challenge and hoping to exclude on lawful immigrants from the census count the trumpet. Ministration takes another case to court. And in sports, the Major League Soccer season is leaving its conclusion all the action from the playoffs coming up later shows a Senior Iranian security official has accused israel of using remote controlled weapons to kill its Top Nuclear Scientists. Mawson, ferries that there was assassinated zone friday, the european union, qatar and the united arab emirates, have condemned the killing all to her own, is vowing revenge. It comes as a Funeral Service was held for a hero, said in the capital, there are certain jabari reports from to her on a state fair. Well, for one of the most important figures in Irans Defense Ministry said factories are there. Who is 63 years old. Was remembered at a small ceremony in the grounds of the ministry on monday. This funeral was attended by some of irans highest ranking officials, including the head of the countrys Atomic Energy organization, the head of the revolutionary guards. And this man, the intelligence minister, who now has the job of finding out how fast that was killed. The scientists convoy of vehicles came under attack in opposite just east of tehran. On friday. He was taken to hospital where he died. Factories that had been on the u. N. Security council list of sanctioned individuals. Iran had never allowed him to be interviewed by the International Atomic agency. His whereabouts were always kept secret, and he has survived a previous assassination attempt. President Hassan Rouhani was not at the funeral, but he has blamed israel for the assassination. A charge israel denies. Irans defense minister says justice will be done. Moo. Had mundra no yard called, we will pursue the criminals to the end of the perpetrators of this crime will be punished. The foreign governments and International Organizations who refused to condemn this act of terrorism will see the consequences of their crimes. The father of 3 was gunned down in front of his wife, and the attackers have not yet been caught. This fascination is seen as an alarming Security Breach inside iran. And there is debate within the country as to what the response should be. Who irans allies are urging restraint. Its not the 1st time Iranian Nuclear scientists have been targeted, but it is the 1st in the past 8 years and factories out. It wasnt just a nuclear scientist. He was also the head of research and innovation at the defense ministry, which means he played a crucial role in irans Ballistic Missile program. Many here believe that the death of factories or that could play a crucial role in how iran might deal with the incoming biden administration, United States in the coming weeks. While the conservative voices in the country are demanding a tough response, it is ultimately up to the countrys supreme leader, ayatollah ali khamenei, to decide and how to proceed. And this is the 2nd time this year that the country has been mourning the death of a high ranking official, the death of Major General Patton Salomon in january. And now make it very clear that the road ahead continues to be at the most with one point on your door. Such a party out that there are white house senior adviser, Jared Kushner will travel to saudi arabia and qatar in the coming days. A trip believed to be aimed at resolving the disputes between the neighboring countries, which comes amid tensions in the region for going the killing over top. Iranian Nuclear Scientists with only weeks left in the trump administration, and his team have held its negotiate deals with sudan, rain and the u. A. E. Its normalize ties with israel. Lets speak now to syria senior political analyst, marwan bashara. Marwan the seems like a last attempt to secure some kind of Foreign Policy legacy for the administration. What would you say that commissioners are trying to achieve here . What kind of deals will you be looking to bring back from this trip . You know, judging by the various reports that we hear here in the growth region, i think hes not coming in some sort of a last ditch effort to bridge the differences. I think hes just coming to take some credit for an ongoing process, but its coming to its end because the saudis and the companies have been in discussion for several weeks, i would say months even in order to bridge their differences, come to some sort of an interim and perhaps a long Term Solution to the gulf crisis. And clearly, the negotiations have made such Great Strides that i think george bush was coming to take advantage of that and take credit for that city thinking and say this blockades of cats are, for example, is, is coming soon. Well look, you know, i mean, we dont know for sure, but clearly the different signs from the different parties, especially from the Saudi Foreign minister, a couple of times already showed that there is some Serious Movement towards a solution to the circumstantial evidence as it were, meaning the saudis, at them to bridge some differences, result some crises in the region because their man alaw in washington is no longer there at the top administration. And hence the idea of moving towards some sort of resolution of the gulf crisis and make sense. And apparently it is near yes and theres, its not just say the arabia though he was fishing for that blockades at the u. N. He may have some thoughts on this. Do you think that that could be some kind of stumbling block . Well look, i think the Important Party in this crisis is saudi arabia and to some extent, egypt. But it is with the saudis that the discussions are going on. And once the saudis agree, i think the other minions, if you were, would probably fall in line. Now that doesnt mean that everyone is going to be, have been excited then theyre going to return to that treaty, june 2017. That are all, i think what you would have this perhaps perhaps some sort of an understanding some sort of a declaration of good where law and perhaps opening the opening the skies if you will, over qatar and so on, so forth. And then that kind of blockade, and after that, youll probably see more bilateral issues between got that in each country in order to see how best to advance their mutual interests for the time being. I would think the that the stumbling block, if you will, is which weve got that on sort of the review and once thats resolved, then i think Everything Else might fall in place. And other big regional sunderland book robin is of course, what to do about iran. Weve seen the assassination of that leading Nuclear Sciences there. What sort of thoughts do you think you, jared, on the trumpet ministration will be bringing to the table in these latest discussions with regard to iran. A were likely to see a shift in, in how the gulf countries are likely to turn to iran. You know how, i must admit its a bit late in the day for the trumpet missing to do anything of substance towards iran. And if anything, there might be some talks going on and know that to see what is going on, especially after the assassination of the Iranian Nuclear scientists. I think aside from that, having brian hopeful used to be the man in charge of the iranian file. But now is an advisor to the state department, aspired to the american delegation means that there is some talks background talks to see, you know, where the companies are, the saudis are in there, that export. And that which is what talks with the arena and how they feel about the futurist that been in the region. But i think i cite from that, judging from krishna is going to geisha and having a person on iran, a person or in israel palestine. And thats the case of burqa were true. By the way, im not really sure what exactly he does aside maybe i dont know, dialed the numbers or carry the briefcase. Its not clear to me, but clearly it is a delegation that in order to talk about the various regional issues, im just not sure how much this administration can do. Aside from take some credit for what is going on that weve got that inside there and saudi arabia and perhaps in person like mike, like mike up on paper before him, might be looking at what next with these countries once he leaves the white house after january, 20th bush allies in the latest visits from jared. Thank you very much. Indeed. Now u. S. President elect joe biden has nominated the team that will help guys the country through the current economic crisis. Lets get more now from kristen salumi. She joins us from wilmington, in delaware, christine, and an invisible task one could say, getting the u. S. Economy back on its feet after the trauma it sustained. This past year has been named. Take on this massive jawbone. Are there any surprises in the announcement . No surprises. The team was widely leaked before hand and the person hes tapped to lead the Treasury Department is the former head of the u. S. Central bank, the federal reserve, janet yellen. She was the 1st woman to hold that position. Shes also served as the council of economic advisors chief and if confirmed as the head of the u. S. Treasury department, shell be not only the 1st woman to hold that position, but the 1st person period to hold all 3 of those jobs. So she is coming into the position if confirmed with a lot of experience, but also a very difficult task ahead. The u. S. Economic outlook is frankly about as gloomy as the weather is here. And wilmington right now with millions of people out of work and job growth slowing amid a 2nd wave of corona, virus infections in the country. That was things were starting to look better here. Over the summer months people were starting to come back to work. Businesses were starting to reopen, but this is kind of set the country back and recently, j. P. Morgan chase a Major Financial Institution has predicted that the u. S. Economy will contract in the 1st part of 2021. And then with all of that swirling, weve got a divided congress here in the United States. Well find out in january if republicans were able to hold on to the senate after 2 seats there are decided, even if they lose those seats and Democrats Gain control of the senate, they already have control of the house. It will be a difficult task to get this congress to agree on any kind of a relief package to help the American People and the economy. Because the majority in the senate will be so small. And both parties are really divided on the best way forward right now with republicans focusing on relief for individuals and democrats. Wanting more relief for state governor and local governments as well. Theres a big divide there. The negotiations have come to a complete standstill with millions of americans due to lose their Unemployment Benefits at the end of the year. So janet yellen and the rest of the team if confirmed, will be walking into a very difficult situation. Hala ok, chris women there bringing us the latest from wilmington in delaware. Thank you. Well, for still to come here on aljazeera, including refusing to say summary, Chinas Foreign Ministry says it wants apologize for tweeting a fake image of a strained soldier and anger on the streets of delhi as farmers vent their frustration towards the governments new agricultural legislation. And well hear from the n. F. L. Team that ran, i took a quarterbacks ahead of their latest game and see it will be here with more elite. It is nice after sectionals, isnt it . Theres snow on the ground in kyrgyzstan that you might think thats not surprising, but it is the average temperature this time is run about 8 or 9 degrees. Doesnt really snow and stick for very long. Theres possibly more on its way now. This frontal system, which has given rain further south in the war bit, says lets bring more snow. A threat cast on eventually towards bishkek, which at minus 2 really cold and should be. But coming back to where its been wet recently, theres more rain forecast for kuwait and iran and a scattering of outbreaks of writing us who sat here a bit as big shot up in cyprus in the run up into the northeast of turkey.

Nebraska power is uniquely positioned to deliver against these developments. We provide business growth, promote Socio Economic benefits, and provide innovative, safe, and fire mentally sound Energy Solutions for future generations. Brush fire nearing future energy, dissecting the headlines in the midst of a pandemic. Lets start with some of the ground realities of the news conference. Whats the lay of the land there . Stripping away the spam about president ial corruption. Its not if youre challenging assumptions and the official line is they are the in the or this is al jazeera, a reminder of our top stories this hour. U. S. Drug maker, madonna is asking american and european regulators for american sea use, although its called that 19 vaccine. Final results confirm its more than 90 percent effective. Ethiopias Prime Minister has told parliaments that federal forces have not killed any civilians during the 3 recon conflicts with particular region to grace forces a speech. This claim at a Funeral Service has been held in iran for the countrys Top Nuclear Scientists. Most factories are, they said he was assassinated. So in an ambush to the capital, tehran on friday, it was leaders are blaming israel for the killing. Now the coronavirus pandemic has left its mark on the Global Oil Industry with unstable prices and a reduction into months. China, the original epicenter of coronavirus saw a 20 percent drop in demand as its economy squeezed. Major producers met in vienna in early march to decide how to keep prices stable. Opec recommended taking 1500000. 00 Barrels Per Day off the market, but russia refused. The top producer saudi arabia retaliated by announcing, and im crease in production. Now. This pushed all prices to below 20. 00 a barrel by april. Moscow and riyadh agreed to gradually cut production with a price war hit america, the hardest with u. S. Crude going negative for the very 1st time. Opec reduced a period until the end of july, restoring petroleum supplies. But a 2nd wave of the virus has slowed to a slower recovery. Lets get more now from our economics editor of it. He joins us live from london. This is not going to be an easy meeting for the all peg members. Just sum it up for us, one of they trying to achieve. And do you think its even possible . Youre absolutely right there havent, because when you bring 24. 00 nations together to sit around the table, even through actually, you know, its going to be a difficult task because every single country star its own demands right now. What opec wants to see is that this production that was introduced only this year, sentence that a 1000000 barrels is extend ready for another 3 months, the hearting in january. But there are nations up, they will say no to that because they need the money to pay for the pandemic to pay for their health crisis. And so this is going to be an redid drawn out battle if they got 2. 00 days to come up with a proposal that everyone can kind of agree to. Thinking right now is that there will possibly be an extension, but there could be some quote adjustments for different nations. For instance, take nigeria, nigeria is in the midst of a recession right now, brought on by the i am that me, but they have trouble a lot. A lot of trouble because of this now is the high unemployment inflation is rising and that in talks with the world bank for a long point 5000000000. 00, they need that money because basically exports out of the country are being halted by a shortage of dollars. And then we need to get that money into the Central Banks so they can start to get their exports. Going. Not what other nations, for instance, like ours, like some catholics than says, you know what . We need to also think about increasing our act. What are you going to remember most of the nations they send their oil. So asia, that asia has bounced back pretty strongly from the, from the 19th pandemic. And because of all of that, the fall of pandemic under control, with the exception of india. But even india, which is in the long president ial recession, is also seeing demand rise at this very moment in time. Where as you are up and the United States, were seeing 2nd results. And so were seeing secondly, spikes. Now, opec nations are saying, really hard be responsible for whats happening in part, because we dont control the oil prices for that part of the world. What we can do is start shipping more oil back, so we wait where the demand is high. And so they want to eliminate it completely so they can go on and export more oil. Well have to wait and see if that toll order can be achieved. But for now, though, abbott alley, joining us from london, thank you. Chinas Foreign Ministry has rejected calls from the australian Prime Minister to apologize for an inflammatory tweet over war crimes allegations. The tweet sent by Foreign Ministry spokesman, lee gentile to fix a fake image of an australian soldier, slashing the throats of an afghan civilian. This follows a recent report into the conduct of Australian Special forces. The Israeli Military has confirmed it is dismissing more than a dozen soldiers accused of killing 39. 00 on armed afghan civilians and prisoners. Mistress Prime Minister says china should be ashamed of the tweets. It is utterly righteous, and it cannot be justified on any vices whatsoever. The Chinese Government should be totally ashamed of this post. It does, it diminishes them in the world. Our eyes or my couple of points about this. Striving is seeking an apology from the ministry of foreign of is from the Chinese Government for this out. Right. As promised, we are also seeking its removal immediately and have also contacted twitter to take it down immediately. There is katrina you has more now from beijing Foreign Ministry spokeswoman quaternion responded today on monday to the Prime Ministers trillian Prime Ministers statement that we just heard and she appeared quite flippant and dismissive of his comments. Now this whole incident started on monday morning, about 10 am beijing time when her colleague, john the jen posted a tweet, including an image by a self described chinese patriotic artist. And it was quite inflammatory depicting. And australian Soldier Holding the knife, a knife to the neck of an afghan baby, and that prompted the very strongly worded statement that we just heard from Scott Morrison.
