storytelling around the biggest issues have to do with whatever happens in the future, who knows which of ministration will be, i guess time will tell. in the 1st public briefing since the presidential election, donald trump acknowledges that he may not spill leading the country's next administration. however, i'm having my head seen and this is al jazeera life from doha, and also coming up the u.n. . one civilian deaths in northern ethiopia could be war crimes as thousands flee the region after a government offensive moral code launches

a military operation in the western sahara. endangering a nearly 3 decades long cease fire and the changing face of brazil's politics. we take a look at how the black lives matter movement has impacted its electoral process. but 1st, the u.s. president has spoken publicly for the 1st time since his election loss to joe biden . during his press conference, donald trump updated americans on his response to the coronavirus pandemic. but he also inched closer to acknowledging he may not be leading the country's next administration. alan fischer reports now from washington d.c. incredibly, this is become a rare thing. public remarks by donald trump, his 1st since the election. and this was about protecting his legacy. but administration has initiated the single greatest mobilization in u.s.

history, pioneering developing and manufacturing therapies and vaccines. in record time, there was no talk of the election result. this was an update on the fight against corona virus, the hope provided by a vaccine. but there was almost the slip, almost an acknowledgment, his time in the white house was coming to a close. ideally, we won't go to a lockdown. i will not go, this administration will not be going to a lockdown. hopefully, the, the, whatever happens in the future, who knows which of ministration will be, i guess time will tell, but i can tell you this administration will not go to a lockdown. the president has been adamant. he continues to fight in the courts to overturn an election. he claims without evidence was stolen from him, but he's running out of route. his campaign has dropped its action in arizona where joe biden has been declared. the winner cases in michigan and pennsylvania have run into legal difficulties. law teams have quit the fight because lawsuits being dismissed by judges who seem quite exasperated with lawyers representing the trump

campaign. who simply do not have facts. the president's own cyber security experts have declared the election to be the most secured in american history. something the president was keen to take credit for while at the same time, claiming it had been rigged by the democrats against him. another sign, the white house is moving towards acceptance of the result from monday, joe biden will start receiving the daily intelligence briefing. something the trumpet ministration had blocked since the election, bitin campaigns, reaction about time passing day, lack of access to current classified operations or back channel conversations that are happening really with the american people's interest as it relates to their national security interests. donald trump is arguably the most accessible president in modern history, but he left the rose garden, refusing to take questions about the election result. and if his days in the white house were numbered, alan fischer. washington. well,

trump has also suffered another legal setback in pennsylvania court threw out 5 republican lawsuits alleging voter irregularities. clear finkelstein is faculty director of the center for ethics and the rule of law at the university of pennsylvania lol school. she says the lawsuits were empty efforts from the starts. the legal challenges could not have made a difference to donald trump, even if all of the legal challenges and all of the states had prevailed. donald trump could not have won this election, and indeed the number of electors that joe biden won the election with was the same number of electors that donald trump characterized as a landslide. in his own case, donald trump would have to reverse pennsylvania and all the other swing states in order to reverse that decision here,

and that will not happen. it cannot be done. what the supporters believe about these decisions is almost up to donald trump because many of donald trump, supporters seem to believe what ever he tells them. so if he says that these decisions were corrupt, unfortunately, they may believe that, but one hopes that the weight of evidence, as well as the statements of his own department of homeland security, saying that there was no fraud involved in this election may finally get through to donald trump, supporters and hopefully to donald trump himself. the united nations says it's concerned war crimes may have been committed in ethiopia as northern to great region and fighting between the military and to great regional forces. prime minister has accused the to great people's liberation front of treason and terrorism,

and to see international says scores of civilians have been massacred steering the fighting of that though has more from the northern city of gondor near. that's a great region. these fighting words has had no letup ever since it started about 9 days ago has caused massive casualties. and the civilian casualties that are being witnessed in some parts of the region are not giving any confidence to the people. there already. 100000 people who were already internally displaced within the region, even before the conflict started. and that was the most likely happened just about a 100 kilometers from where we are right now in a small town called mike cutler. of course, the government is blaming the tea p.l.f. fighters for these killings of people, most of it done through beheadings and using all kinds of crude weapons. but

on this evening the t.t.l. of leader depletes you want to give him. michael held, released a message where he said that it was not his forces who carried out these mutha and said that there was no need for an independent inquiry into the killings in my country. of course, the government is claiming huge victories in the western part of the takeaway region, particularly areas near the border with eritrea. today they claim that they have taken the town of the ambassador and have their sights on the capital mackellar, the prime minister, says this is going to be a very quick operation. but when you look at how heavily armed both sides are, it looks like it's going to be a protracted war. and that is what is causing concern for many people. something that the main fear is that this conflict is going to have ramifications far beyond

the borders of if you have to why than 11000 refugees have fled to sedans, saying they're escaping from scenes of horror back home. there are growing concerns . the conflict could destabilize the entire region, given morgan reports from good areas near the sudan, ethiopia border more if you can refugees arrive at medina in sudan's, good out of state. they're fleeing fighting in ethiopia's degree region. arrived here 4 days ago with her children and pregnant sister from she says the fighting in the region forced her and her family to flee with nothing but the clothes on their backs. and in that again, we saw people being slaughtered, there was blood all over. we fled because we didn't want to die. some women lost their husbands. we came with nothing but our lives, no money. these clothes were given to me by the people here. thousands of refugees have crossed into sudan over the past week. many recount similar stories from the

region where the ethiopian government has imposed a telecommunication blackout since the start of an offensive against the people's liberation front. the government wants to get rid of the chief. so if the people are living in conflict, their people have been slaughtered with knives, pregnant, women have had their bellies open, and the government is bombing civilians and killing us all. so the news authorities have closed borders with since the start of the conflict. and there are challenges in responding to the influx of refugees, aid organizations, say there shortages in relief services, which that's because up until last week, this place was largely an abandoned town. and even though this is a temporary shelter for refugees before the camps elsewhere arrive seeking safety on an already dark humanitarian situation. refugees here say there are shortages of drinking water and food. so dense commission for refugees says nearly $1000.00 people are being richest to daily. and have called for more action to respond to

the situation. resurfacing a refugees here is great and we hoping to authorities, international community chain to be in because the situation is unbearable. there are so many refugees to come in. most of them walking for hours and days, most of them are scattered in farms nearby, sticking their way here. new refugees are being just heard every hour, day and her family try to settle into what is now their new home. she says she doesn't know how long they'll be here. but until the fighting stops, she says you want to go back to make out in ethiopia. people, morgan, al-jazeera, medina, to money and god, if sadam, rival factions in libya have agreed to hold nationwide elections in december of next year. the date was announced by united nations official and is considered a sign of progress from talks in neighboring chad his ear. that's where 75 libyan delegates have been negotiating a road map of civil war. both sides signed a cease fire agreement last month in geneva. a 30 years cease far

in miracles forwards. western sahara region could be in jeopardy. morocco says a pro independence group has blocked main roads. the army has moved in to stop them . the country's authorities deny any fighting or burden manoli reports. a conflict proves them for 3 decades, but never resolved. now a fragile truce in the western sahara between morocco and a pro independence group is under threat. the policies are a front has been fighting for an independent state in western sahara, an area wedged between mauritania to the south. america to the north with a population of around half a 1000000 people. but morocco also claims this vast stretch of desert robot accuses polisario front of blocking a main highway. that's preventing the flow of goods between mauritania and morocco

. but the policy sorry, of front accuses morocco of carrying out attacks against its people and of igniting war. more all has publicly officially the facts of launching an armed attack on millions demonstrating peacefully in blatant violation that has led resumption of peace between the moronic forces. the air force and the brokers government held in the mergence the meeting to address the situation. this wrote is important when it comes to the movement of civilians and goods. and because such actions were a violation of the u.n. sponsored cease fire agreement. morocco, in order to fulfill its duties, ordered its military forces to intervene and build a sand barrier to protect the area from any future breaches. negotiations between

morocco, the policy, area and mauritania have remained suspended for several months. the u.n. is calling for restraint. the secretary general remains committed to doing his utmost to avoid the collapse of the cease fire that has been in place since 6 september 1991. and he is determined to do everything possible to remove all obstacle to the resumption of the political process, the 2 sides of battle for control of the region since 1975, when spain pulled out of the area took control and led to a war that continued until 1991 when the un broke an armistice, but it's a complex, the 10s of thousands of people displaced from their homes. many of the refugees have been living for decades in vast, sprawling camps border with morocco. the conditions are harsh and they continue to

rely on humanitarian assistance to survive. but the political impasse continues, and it's unlikely these people return to the anytime soon. so to come here and i'll just say, here are the price of pace ethnic armenians leave. parts of nagorno-karabakh almost to azerbaijan, and dozens of people killed and many more injured as typhoon from kohli's, a trail of death and destruction in the philippines. hello the rain is finally coming sized in the forms, i think of regular showers every time a trough goes through. so there may well be showers, for example, in the car on saturday, brazil change of weather type. so we're going to get used to this

a windy and potentially shared a least the start on saturday, then things go back to normal. and easing wind inquired whether, but there's another thing developing in the eastern med that will start to bring rain into the levant into syria. and of course that then should go east was to join its cousin, which on sunday, still producing right northern pakistan and snow. further north than that, and the high ground of parts of afghanistan as well. the seasonal rain, the snow, almost its lowest or for this south extent, extension tanzanian coasts, more or less back towards battle for the south into angola, recto you guinea. and you'll notice it doesn't really look particularly wet now in south sudan or, you know, should it be, but it's hardly bone dry nor continuously dry. and tanzania is the focus of decent rights dars, the lands that shows up has been moderate to heavy. now we got 3 days of light rain, that rain goes beyond angola in fact, into north namibia. when, who will be sharia?

30 degrees? i think the 1st saturday, and probably sunday talk to al-jazeera when school realistically, how can you do it? institutionalize corruption in this country. we listen, if this breaks up into a conflict between pakistan and india, this has implications for the rest of the world. we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter on al-jazeera. we understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the world. so no matter what the news and current affairs that matter to you
