10:03 am
challenges in responding to the influx of refugees, aid organizations say there shortages in relief services which need 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 here with their own situation. refugees here say there are shortages of drinking water and food. so dense commission for refugees says nearly 1000 people are being rich just to daily and have called for more action to respond to the situation. resurfacing a refugees here is great, and we're 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 they need home. she says she doesn't know how
10:04 am
long they'll be here. but until the fighting stops, she says you want to go back to make a draw and ethiopia, people, morgan al-jazeera medina to mania in qatar. if sadam, let's hear now from al jazeera somehow get out of who's in the northern ethiopian city of gonda, near the 2 gray region. these are fighting words has had no letup ever since. it started about 9 days ago. has caused massive casualties and the civilian casualties are being witnessed in some parts of the region are not giving any confidence to the people. there already. 100000 people who were already the internally displaced within the region even before the conflict started. and that was the last, the car 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 to p.l.f.
10:05 am
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, the brits, you don't get there. michael. held released i think where he said that it was not his forces who hunted out these massacre and said that there was 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 region. clearly, areas near the border with eritrea. today they claim that they have taken the town of the ambassador and have a fight on the capital mcclelland. the prime minister. this is going to be a very quick operation, but when you look at how heavily on both sides are, looks like it's going to be a protracted war. and that is what is causing concern for many people. something
10:06 am
that the main fear is that this conflict is going to have ramifications far beyond the borders. obviously, up here, it's the final day for us to come in eons, to leave areas of the go to back. that will be handed over to azerbaijan. some set fire to the homes, as they left 1st hand, many and control of the land to azerbaijan, as expected to happen on sunday. but they still ended 6 weeks of fighting children later, many are crying, and one to 10 homes. it's very hard, such as soros in the end we will blow up or put the fire to the house, not to leave anything to muslims, as are as hot of the honeyed. this involves an ascent in mania where these ethnic
10:07 am
armenians going once they've left. well there actually coming down this road, heading into arlene proper and facing uncertain future development. now we've been all the way nagorno-karabakh which is that district where about $4.00 to $5000.00 who are living. and i have to say over the past few days, all we have seen is a village, one after the other. people have already evacuated the area. we've seen some people burning their houses, saying that they were not going to leave them for anyone else to live in. meaning if and when they come back. our lines cut. and we see also a really great sense of loss of among the few remaining. they're chopping wood, they're still taking whatever they have left to join their families across the
10:08 am
border. so you really get a sense that people are fleeing. they're desperately scared about what could happen next. even though we have seen the russian peace keepers making their way in, in large numbers, very long convoys for armenians. that would be really a symbol of protection. but they don't feel safe at this stage. still regardless, and they have by and large already left the district. and once they get into media where, where they're going to go, who's going to look after them and they have nothing. well, that is the big question because there has been a problem. no one from just saw it is whether it is the authorities of the self-proclaimed republic of iran in the corner. government has communicated
10:09 am
to the people living. they don't know anything. and the only thing they know is that late at night on november 9th, they remain said that 6 days later, they can't make this have to be handed back. and so basically they had 6 days to go, oh, i've seen a lot of people, chop wood, huge trucks carrying wood coming across every stop in the last. what are you doing basically taking work to be able to sell on this side of the border to have at least some sort of income. so, you know, people are going to government throughout the war, has put up people in hotels and in flats around the country. but this is, we're talking here about the story of a departure with no return date. this start of a new life. everything new finding schools, finding houses, finding a job. all this is very, very soon. it happened in the span of 6 days. so certainly,

western sahara. blatant violation has occurred of the forces of the brokers government held in the mergence the meeting to address the situation. this road 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 breached 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

obstacles 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 but barely and led to a war that continued until 1991. when the un broke an armistice. but it's a complex that's left tens of thousands of people displaced from their homes. many of the sarai refugees have been living for decades in vast, sprawling camps along algeria's 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 their homes any time soon. well, get a weather update next on al-jazeera. then coronavirus cases in the u.s.

us president has spoken publicly for the 1st time since his election loss to joe biden. donald trump updated americans on his response to the coronavirus pandemic. but he also close to acknowledging that he may not be leading the country's next administration. alan fischer reports from washington incredibly, this is become a real thing. public remarks by donald trump, his 1st since the election. and this was about protecting his legacy. 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,
10:19 am
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,
10:20 am
joe biden will start receiving the daily intelligence briefing. something the trumpet ministration had blocked since the election. a bite in campaigns, reaction about time passing day. lack of access to current classified operations are back channel conversations that are happening really with the american people's interest as it relates to their national security risk. 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. as you heard president trump's efforts to overturn the votes in pennsylvania have failed. a court threw out 5 republican lawsuits alleging irregularities. finkelstein is from the university of pennsylvania law school. she says the lawsuits were empty efforts from the start. the legal challenges could not
10:21 am
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,
