years after the movember 2015 attacks. there are still painful memories and deep divisions. and then sport, tiger woods is in title contention. after the 1st round of the masters, the defending champion is well placed at the final major of the year. the united nations is warning that fighting between ethiopian military to grave, regional forces could spiral out of control and war. crimes may have been committed . the conflict is raising fears of regional repercussions impacting neighbors, eritrea sudan, and somalia. and the african union, which is headquarters in ethiopia's capital, amnesty international says scores of civilians have been massacred during the fighting on the human rights group is unclear who is responsible. some witnesses

have blamed forces loyal to the 2 great people's liberation front. and the u.n. is warning of a humanitarian emergency, is that more and more people flee more than 4000 people crossed from ethiopia into sudan in just one day. meanwhile, ethiopia is federal government appointed a new leader to take control of the region. a minister says the offense avoid ended to local leaders are removed because if not, hundreds of civilians were stabbed or hurt today in a small town called which is in the southwest of the degree region likely most likely on the night of november 9th, these victims appear to have been civilians appear to be laborers, no way involved in the ongoing military offensive in the region. if he or his prime minister has defended the operation saying the actions of to ground forces cannot be ignored. that is massacure, perpetrate the last week against older men and women in uniform of the northern

command was carried out while they were at their most vulnerable in their pajamas. and among those it towards where did this search at the dinner's acts, lived, not of but to mobilize our law enforcement and defense machinery in the no british and intended to end. the prevailing lawlessness in the region will have a mortgage has more now from god that 8th in sudan there the ethiopian border refugees continued to arrive at the sudanese european border here in the state of qatar yesterday. authorities went to check out the situation of the refugees and what is happening at the border. they say that more than 11000 have arrived over the past few days into get out of state as well as neighboring states. and they say that more than 20000 are at the border waiting to cross into those 2 states seeking

refuge from the conflict that is currently unfolding. and it's a great region if you appear. now, what happens upon their arrival is that they are screened for health reasons. but also for security reasons, because some of those who have arrived so far are former combat sense. who put down their arms, fleeing the conflict and coming to seek refuge here. and about if the sudanese authorities say they're quite concerned about what is unfolding in these cover, the sudanese government announced that it is shutting down its borders. hearing about it as well as neighboring states and deployed more than $6000.00 troops. and it comes at a time when the sudanese prime minister on the lam dog is the head of the that's the east african bloc. that brings together a group of nations including sudan and ethiopia. he has called the prime minister and expressed his readiness to mediate in the conflict. and it's a great region expressing concern that is something that the head of the sovereignty council also expressed in this b.s. the security and defense committee meeting on monday. but the 2 sides, the prime minister of sudan,

abdullah and the head of the sovereignty council both met with the security advisor of the g.o.p. and prime minister abu ahmed, who said that this conflict will get, will be sorted in the shortest time possible. and that mediation by sudan, or by a god, is not needed at the moment. sudan has said that it is worried about the humanitarian situation, and it's urging all sides for restraint and says that the situation is quite dire and very volatile and that all sides should try to resolve the conflict as soon as possible. so you close a look now as this region to great is in ethiopia's northeastern highlands and is a semi autonomous region that lies on the border with eritrea. and sudan is home to the ear of corn armor and mostly figurine people. together they make up about 6 percent of ethiopia's population to graze, governed by to graze people's liberation front from the regions capital, the city of nearly 170000 people. the p.l.f. dominated the country's military and central government before the up and took office in 2018. it is estimated that t.p.

elif has a quarter of a 1000000 followers. it's a large amount of military equipment, but it's up against ethiopia's military, which says it's made gains in the west of to grey, in response to an attack on one of its federal military bases. where the colleville is a spokesperson for the un high commissioner for human rights. he joins us now live from geneva. thank you for your time, sir. this is a and her grandest report to civilians being massacred that if it is confirmed as being carried out by one of the parties to the conflict, as you know, that would constitute a war crime. how worried are you? is the commissionaire about what we're seeing right now, and we're very worried indeed because you know, you're already seeing killings. the details of this latest report, you know, remain to be fully verified. but clearly there have been killings, there's been destruction, there's been displacement already. 11000 refugees have crossed into sudan.

there's a risk that this is going to spiral very rapidly out of control and become a really massive crisis. and, you know, there are many issues in integrate already. it's a very fragile situation in terms of food and 600000, people dependent on food aid already and the humanitarian agencies aren't able to get to them. so we very much call on both sides to make the necessary compromises and stop, stop the conflict immediately before this really spirals out of everybody's control . beyond calling on both sides to stop the conflicts. what more can the u.n. can the international community do right now? well, timidity, the 2 parties are fighting the other ones who are in the driving seat. it has to be from there more we can do really is encourage cajole press,

press them to start talking and stop fighting. what do you make of the pace at which this appears to have morphed from a political disagreement, dissatisfaction, discussions about federalism to really taking on an ethnic tone? what does that say to you? well, i think that is very dangerous. i think what should we care for also a little bit about putting too much into that at this point. but there is that risk of a major aspect i mentioned coming into it. and of course that is can become really toxic and fuel the crisis that much more explosive lead. so it's very important to start talking. yes, there are a longstanding tensions and disagreements. these need to be dealt with through talk through talks not thrashed out on the, on the battlefield. absolutely. thanks so much for a time recalled there a spokesperson for the u.n. high commissioner for human rights

security and election officials from the u.s. government have released a statement declaring this year's presidential election was the most secure in american history. they say there's no evidence that voting systems were compromised . despite this president, donald trump continues to make unsubstantiated claims of widespread voter fraud. ellen fisher reports. it's unusual for donald trump to keep such a low profile. he's made one appearance, but hasn't spoken in public for a week. his twitter feed continues to push claims of a stolen election on thursday. he tweeted a report alleging 2700000 votes were deleted from voting systems across the country . the company who made the machines says that didn't happen, and a government election watchdog insists the election was the most secured in american history. the elections, infrastructure, government, coordinating council,

and the election infrastructure sector, coordinating committees, part of the department of homeland security issued a joint statement and emphasized in bold type. there is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes changed votes, or was in any we compromised. one of the major contributors for making this the most secure election in u.s. history is the fact. there were large numbers with vote by mail and actual having physical paper ballots. one of donald trump's closest aides has reportedly been seeking out officials in various government departments, he considers insufficiently loyal to donald trump, with the intention of firing them. one of the people behind this report has told friends he expects to be called in the coming days. on capitol hill, democrats continue to urge their republican colleagues to accept the election result and get back to business when it comes to the election. republicans, congressional republicans don't have the evidence. they don't have the proof,

they don't have anything. neither does the president, congress, congressional republicans are deliberately casting doubt on our elections for no other reason. but fear of donald trump. ok, the biden team is pushing for access to the daily intelligence briefing. they got them during the campaign, but have been blocked since the election by a white house contesting the result. will republican senators have expressed concern that could impact u.s. security well stopping short of contradicting the president? look, one of these 2 men will be the president united states after the election results have come in. and i think at this point, just as a matter of protecting our nation's interests, i do think that both the president and his and his competition here, the vice president biden should have access to those classified reports. president trump's legal team insists there's

a process to follow that could take some time and it continues to fundraise to help the president's efforts in court. alan fischer. al-jazeera washington. ok we have going on are standing by for us in wilmington, delaware, but 1st. let's go to our white house correspondent, who is in washington d.c. at the white house coming out at the election monitors a saying that there's no evidence of widespread voter fraud. does that mean? there are no issues at all, or is it more that there's no sort of systematic problems that would perhaps impact the result? yeah, it's really important that we look at these statements and see what exactly what they're saying. that's right. donald trump has claimed that there was widespread voter fraud particular when it comes to these voting machines. and there was a glitch that potentially put 2700000 ballots that were for him in the column for joe biden. what they're saying is there was no evidence of that,

but while they're saying this is the most secure election in history, what they're not saying is that the election was secure, but it's just better than it was last time. and certainly we know the last time that there was foreign interference. there doesn't seem to be any concern about that this time. but given the fact that this election in 2020 was different than 2016, there was the widespread use of mail in ballots due to cope at 19, there were not always outdated voter logs before these were mailed out. some people had died, some people had moved away, but still received a ballot in some cases. sadly, we know that some of those ballots were cast, but what this is being said is that it would in no way change the outcome of the election. we may be talking about hundreds of votes, but we know that joe biden has what now an additional state firmly making him the projected winner. there would be to have been systemic fraud systemic irregularities involving millions of votes. and there is no evidence of that to to

date. ok, thank you for breaking that down for us coming. how could there are white house correspondent? well, china has become one of the last major countries to congratulate president elect joe biden. u.s. relations with beijing have been strained on trade technology and security of the trump administration. in malaysia spash, the us president has banned americans from doing business with companies owned or controlled by the chinese military. donald trump signed an executive order that claims beijing forces. chinese firms to help finance and modernize its military band takes effect on january 11 days before trump is due to step down. let us speak now to gabriel. alexander, who as i said, is in wilmington, delaware, which is joe biden's. hometown gabe. so donald trump has as banned americans from doing business with companies that are owned by the chinese military. how much of an impact will that have and is joe biden might feed to try and overturn it.

well, it's unclear, quite frankly, because it's important to point out that joe biden has not released yet any detailed policy proposals on how he plans to deal with china once he becomes president on january 20th. so it's a little unclear on what joe biden stance will be, or if he would try to overturn that, as you just mentioned, quite frankly, now we haven't heard from joe biden, any sort of response from him or his transition team over this news that trying to china has congratulated him, joe biden, and is taking on today and tomorrow off, basically resting at his home and be charm here. not too far from here. but the bottom line is, this is that it is expected that the biden administration will change the policy from what it's been under president trump under president donald trump. the u.s. policy towards china is very much taken on a unilateral approach,

a hard line when it comes to trade and tariffs, but trump has always said that his personal relationship with president xi could overcome anything. this is expected to change under a president biden, and all you have to do is look back to his last 8 years that he served as vice president to president obama. currently a lot of biden's, formal and informal it by users when it comes to foreign policy. in china are people that served under the obama and biden, in ministration for 8 years. so what you can expect is a couple things, a more multilateral approach to china, number one, and also more of an approach holding things such as democracy and human rights on the same level as trade and economic issues. that would be something that would be a little different than what's been the u.s. policy, the last 4 years. lastly, 0 point out there could be some points of cooperation between biden presidency with

china. and that could come down to 2 things. number one, climate change biden has said that is very much at the top of his list of priorities to deal with. and you can't deal with climate change without engaging china. and the 2nd one is new, that could be the global coronavirus pandemic. you have pharmaceutical companies in the united states as yours, pfizer, that have already announced a potential vaccine. you have multiple pharmaceutical companies in china working on vaccines. this could be a point where the 2 leaders and the 2 countries could come together on some sort of cooperation on dealing with the global pandemic. of course, we'll just have to wait and see on that. but the bottom line is you can expect u.s. policy in relations with china to pivot to a more multilateral approach. once biden becomes president. ok, thank you so much for that. gabriel is under there live for us, and wilmington, delaware more ahead on the news. our, including

a warning for people making holiday plans at 19 cases continue to spike in many european countries. is a military operation in western sahara. could this be the end of a nearly 3 decade long cease fire? and in sports, a goal of the year contend arrives from denmark. sonisphere would dance to the top infectious disease expert in the u.s. as the country can avoid another coronavirus lockdown if people can't get serious about social distancing and wearing masks. dr. anthony fauci called for vigilance. during the way to vaccines on thursday, the u.s. reported more than 150000 new cases in just 24 hours. it's the 10th consecutive day infections have been above 100000. well, new york is one of the states seeing a rise in cases that's led to the return of some restrictions,

leaving many business owners warry to christen salumi house restaurant owner jeremy, attempting to stay one step ahead of corona virus restrictions and survive the pandemic by combining 2 restaurants into one, we've changed the menus multiple times, added back up, subtracted items, changed concepts, changed some of the focus of what we're doing. staffing has been up down. up again now it's going to probably go down. starting friday, most bars, restaurants and gyms in new york and new jersey must close early by 10 pm. restaurants and hotels are among the hardest hit sectors of the economy here and nationally, especially those near now empty office towers. transportation in the arts also continue to struggle. given large gatherings are still prohibited. nationally, jobless claims have slipped to their lowest level since the pandemic began in march

. the unemployment rate in new york city is about twice the national average. and it's not just business is facing new restrictions. new york residents have been ordered to keep private gatherings to less than 10 people just in time for the national thanksgiving. holidays and officials are warning, even more closures are possible. new york's mayor urged people to take the new measures seriously. and of course, the city will work to enforce nice new rules and all the existing rules affectively . foresman is a crucial part of the equation. stock markets fell on the news of the new restrictions on the nation's financial capital and the growing realization that it will take months for a vaccine to be widely distributed, leading the u.s. federal reserve chair to predict some challenging months ahead. we've got new cases at a record level. we've seen a number of states begin to reimpose limited activity restrictions,

and people may lose confidence that it's safe to go out. we said from the beginning, the economy will not fully recover until people are confident that it's safe to resume activities involving crowds of people. new yorkers putting their creativity to use, we're about to see what's going to happen over the next 4 months if the weather is really changing now, hoping for the best. bracing for the worst christian salumi al-jazeera, new york. several european countries have warned that it's too early for people to start planning, and if he or holiday travel, record numbers of chronic virus infections are being reported across europe. among those the u.k. which recorded its highest number of infections on thursday. meanwhile, german officials have said it sound like a winter events, including christmas parties will go ahead. the mccain joins me now. live from berlin. we'll get to the christmas parties in a moment, but dominick 1st talk us are some of the numbers that we're seeing right now across the continent. we know that in many

countries across europe, across the european union, the trend of new infections remains upward. certainly that is the case in germany. it's also the case in poland where the numbers being reported far more than $20000.00 per day. and yet in other countries around the european union. certainly over the course of the last few days, the trend has been either of a plateau in the new number of new infections or a slight drop. certainly that has been the case in 2 of the benelux countries in belgium and in the netherlands, where a plastering effect has been reported. but as i say, it is important to put these into perspective. because we know that across the european union, there are many, many countries with very many risk areas alone here in l.a. and one in every 5 of all the intensive camp beds available to emergency

workers or hospitals for 4 patients is currently being occupied by a patient and only one in 5 of the intensive care beds now are available for anybody else as it were, which explains why there is a real concern about the figures coming out. so it's a bit of a patchwork quilt as it were across europe. some countries. 'd that are in lockdown as seeing a plateau in effect, or as others say, no plant, so effect just yet dominating people of every faith, you know, whether it was a need or diwali. now christmas people are having to factor in the fact that we are still in the middle of the pandemic. and now people are being discouraged from making plans for the usual festive season. yes, there's no question that the authorities right across the you are very cautious about

opening up about allowing the sorts of festival vents to take place at which you would see many people in close proximity with each other. so christmas markets in germany. well, very many of them will not be taking place already here in berlin alone. some of the most well known ones have already said they will not happen. and those who said that they will still happen will be taking place in this with the sorts of precautions in place that have never been in place before as it were. but it's not just in so far as festival events a concern. there's also very serious concern among travel operators is about the level of travel that will be possible. we know that certain allies who example the german airline turns up already are nearing if they can just sort of testing facilities. so that messages who were all flights as one particular from munich to girl and must produce a negative test within the last 72 hours, or undergo a rapid test with a 15 minute waiting time. where if they are,

you come back positive. they're not allowed to board the flight, so you see lots of different operators trying to come up with ways to keep travel open. but certainly overriding all of that is the concern at the official level. but what's really possible, given, we're still in the grip of this pandemic. ok, thank you for that. dominic came live from berlin. at least $42.00 people are now confirmed to have died after typhoon vanco swept across the northern philippines. well, the 20, you're still missing, landslides and flooding of destroyed homes and left dozens of towns without power to me to undergo reports from our readers. in the town of rodrigo's in result, we met eric and lisa band where they were able to evacuate their home before it was submerged by flood waters. and i mean, they had to return no matter how hard it is to get here, because really that to get the race and legs we had in the storage,

down from the mountains by phone vom is the 3rd typhoon to hit the philippines in 3 weeks. the country is still reeling from the impact of typhoon connie nearly 2 weeks ago. at least 20 typhoon strike each year and earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are common and scientists say weather disturbances in the philippines have become more extreme over the last few years because of climate change. and that's raising concern among many that they could become victims to an endless cycle of loss and despair. jamila duggan al-jazeera result province, northern philippines. still ahead on al-jazeera. more demonstrations are expected in lima, in support of purrs from a president who was voted out accused of corruption. and on nicolas hawke in the similes, fishing town of, i'm sure where dozens of families have lost relatives trying to make it by boat to

of the u.k. prime minister's closest advisers is to step down at the end of the year. dominic cummings says he had always planned to quit when the brakes. a transition period was over on december 31. he is credited with masterminding breaks it and bars. johnson's reelection earlier this year he was criticised for flouting coronavirus restrictions. well, dr. diamond is an associate professor of public policy at queen mary university of london. he previously served as head of policy planning and 10 downing street under tony blair and gordon brown. he joins us now from london. thank you for your time to start with for our international audience, you know, people in oakland or at a budget, why do we care about dominic cummings and what he's doing well, dominic cummings has emerged as the most powerful advisor in the conservative government, of which boris johnson, the prime minister, but he's associated really with the most important development in u.k.

politics in the last decade, which the court's decision. that the u.k. took to leave the european union in june 26th. dominic cummings was the march the mind of her campaign, and he has since driven the break that process in government. so his departure from 10 downing street extremely significant. what will it mean for 10 downing street? how might things change them? what it means that new individuals are likely to become much more and influential within the johnson administration. new advisors are likely to come to look for perhaps existing advisors will become more powerful. new people may be brought into downing street. i think there's also a question of whether mr. cummings departure signals, a new approach from 10 downing street up until now. that general style has been very confrontational, particularly in terms of the soon the negotiations with the european union over breaks that will mr. cummings departure and the arrival of new figures perhaps lead

to a more co-operative consensual approach. we don't know, but it certainly has a distinct possibility. ok, dominic cummings had said he wanted to make himself redundant by the end of the year. you know, sort of saying when his baby, if you like breaks it came to a natural end at the end of the transition period. it was time to go. but, but what else is going on here? i think that the underlying it's you is that it appears as if dominic cummings has lost the confidence of the prime minister. in addition to that, he has also lost the confidence of a large number of conservative m.p.'s in the house of commons. and therefore, his position has become more and more unsustainable. if an advisor is close, the prime minister is dominant. cummings is not able to deal with conservative m.p.'s and other senior figures in the party and the position of power points or is going to become more and more difficult. i think the other issue here, of course, is also that the voices are not really supposed to be part of the story. you know,

it always is by definition are working behind closed doors to deliver the prime minister's priorities. the difficulty that dominic cummings has had is he's become so high profile that he almost is the story he dominated, the political profile image of the government almost beyond any other minutes, including the prime minister. and that's not really sustainable in the long term. so not since i think his position became unsustainable, those that expressed it. i mean that was that there was such, a huge driver in the u.k., wasn't there when he breached quarantine. i mean, he and the government were urging the rest of the country to follow the rules. people were missing out on funerals, weddings, all this sort of thing that he broke the quarantine rules. do you think he ever really recovered from that? no, i mean i think the supposition of your question is, is entirely right. the breach of the quarantine rules that took dominic cummings was alleged to have made in may of this year did undermine confidence,

both in him personally and also in the government's coronavirus strategy. the sense that the government was telling citizens of the country to do one thing. what senior advisers at the center were doing another was very damaging to confidence in the government. and dominic cummings is reputation. his ability to function as an effective adviser to the prime minister was i think we can, we can weakened 2nd episode. and of course, if dominic cummings is not able to function effectively as an advisor, then his usefulness to the prime minister is of course, greatly diminished. and so perhaps in that sense, what we're seeing in recent days in terms of his, the part number 10, is just an inevitable consequence of the events that occurred earlier this year. like him alone have he's obviously good at what he does says he said, the architect or mastermind of the brics. it campaign behind bars. johnson's reelection campaign or election campaign? is this the last thing of him? do you think or where do you think ted is and to next?

well, i think you're quite right. whether or not one agrees with dominic cummings politics, the position he takes on the european union and so on. he is undoubtedly one of the most influential and important figures to have emerged in british government over the last 20 or 30 years. he's been in the extremely influential adviser. and of course he played a key role in that campaign that you mentioned earlier. the issue, i think that on that coming has always been that he's an extremely talented campaigner, but he has struggled, i think, to be effective in working in the machinery of government. you know, government is a much more complex system to operate in. there are thousands of officials, hundreds of agencies making policy change happen is really difficult. and i think dominic cummings has not really succeed in making the transition from being a campaign that being a government insider i would expect from here on in. he will no doubt continue to claim influential role in campaigns, in setting out a vision for britain outside the european union. but don't think we're going to see

him back in government, certainly not anytime soon. thanks so much for that, patrick diamond there. excellent analysis. previous head of policy planning at 10 downing street under tony blair, and for a rather proud of it is forces in western sahara say morocco has ignited a war by launching a military offensive. a market army is moving into the buffer zone on the border with maher, tanya, to combat the policy of force front. rather, the group is accused of attacking trucks and extorting people proud of. and the activists deny the claim saying they were peacefully protesting a policy audios say the operation ends a 3 decade ceasefire. so who are the policy front? well, they are a liberation movement made up of ethnic somehow, always aimed at driving the moroccan presence out of western sahara. they say the former spanish colony is their homeland, have pushed for independence for decades. rocco claims that as there is the 2 sides

battle for control for 16 years before reaching the un backed cease fire agreement in 1991. today more than 2 thirds of the region is occupied and run by morocco. a referendum on its stations has never eventuated. ricardo fabiani is the project director for north africa international crisis group. he says the potential for escalation is warrior. well, what is different and obviously very warring about the situation right now, is that discord be seen probably as the 1st 2 real violation of the cease fire that has actually been in place since 1991. and the cease fire was actually always pretty much respected by both sides. what is different now is that we have seen over the past few weeks, the police area fronts, trying to stop the flow of the goods between morocco and mauritania, has to go through the buffer zone that the police are in front. i would say more or

less controls in protests. the fact that the united nations have been, would say, quite negligence towards this issue. there was no point meant for several months now of a un special envoy to try and mediate between the 2 sides. and there was a perception within the police ario that the latest security resolution approved by, you know, the nation security council was to close to the moroccan position and to ante portas arias. so the latest this latest, i would say, events have really pushed the police started to take action, and now the moral can still respond to this provoke ation or initiative. aid organizations are warning of an unfolding crisis on west africa's atlanta coast, with a record number of migrants trying to make it to europe. last weekend, more than 2600 migrants arrived on the shores of spain's canary islands. because
