the nobel peace prize for helping and that wall. and it comes on the 11th day of fighting over the border in ethiopia's to gray region. an official from the to great people's liberation front has admitted its forces, carried out the attack on a military base, which prompted the government to launch an offensive in the region. has also said it was behind rocket attacks on 2 at ports in the neighboring m haro region. the conflict has already killed hundreds of people with reports of massacres and both sides accused of atrocities. the t. p.l.f. ruled ethiopia affinity 3 decades as part of a coalition before it came to power in 2018. let's go live now to mohammed a pia which is needed to grey. and of course this, there are already concerns about the how this conflict could destabilize the horn of africa. what do we know about these missiles have been fired to eritrea?

well, you must tell us about that. list 3 missiles have been fired from the very region to the capital or at a tray, or 2 of those missiles hit the us model international airport. while another one, it's a tall building, housing, the ministry of information and a number of local media houses. but i witnessed this said that the missile that targeted the ministry of information did not actually hit its target. well outside the building. we don't have any word on casualties, but what we know is that this is a huge escalation of the conflict that has so far been restricted to the borders of ethiopia, and particularly to the ticker i rejoined. now it has grossed international borders, and it is something that could bring in eritrea into the conflict and very quickly

because of the calls friendship prime minister ahmed of ethiopia, and the science of all the president of the trade enjoy. also, the fact that the greys have absolutely no relationship and have got a long history of animosity with not just the president of eritrea, but eritrea as a whole. this is huge by every measure. and what do we know about developments in the region itself? well there is no letup in the fighting in the take away with the government has been made and that the cry region areas close to the border between your career and sudan and also between if europe and eritrea and that is on the side of the take

a region where the fighting so far has been involved against targets within the to great region, particularly cruel. and there's also been clashes between ground troops and also the duels which have caused massive casualties on both sides. but the mass murder of civilians, particularly in the small town of mike, shocked european nation and has brought to the whole thing is that the whole conflict could be turning ethnic because of the way that people in my country was targeted and beheaded with machetes and knives. is something that has caused concern also within the human rights community here in europe and also within the international community who are all called for the protection of civilians. there's also been targeting of people based on their ethnicity,

something european human rights commission has said it witnessed in the prisons when it met prisoners who say they've just been locked up just because of the background of the ethnicity they come from. i mean ethnic violence is not new to you see a p actually it was at high levels of them before the conflict began. something that had seen the displacement of up to 2000000 people across new york. but the amount of speech and tribal animosity that has been pouring into the social media since this conflict began some say, has taken it to new alarming levels. thank you. and hundreds suggest the region of grey. well, in all the top stories this hour armenian state security says it's foiled. an assassination attempt on the prime minister and nicole on the national security

services arrested, the former head of state security and 2 others in connection with the plot and is refusing to step down despite notch protests. on medians are angry with him for signing a cease fire with azerbaijan to end 6 weeks of fighting. the peace deal secures territorial advances made by azerbaijan in its battle for car back. meanwhile, ethnic kamini and have been torching their own homes as they move out of images bordering that disputed region before sunday's handover of land. many of lived there for more than 20 years and nephew areas having to leave from cowboy jar, which is on the road out of the disputed region of the abdul hamid reports. they came for a last pilgrimage. very soon. the monastery of that event will be off limits to armenians nestled in a mountain gorge and killed by john a district west of the unclear evidence that's about to be returned to azerbaijan. russian peacekeepers are already here giving people a sense of safety,

a final prayer, one more memory, a little souvenir to take back home. there's an overwhelming sense of defeat, a monger, minions, often too difficult to express, stopping the war was the right thing, but not like this. it's unfair, but we have to do it. it was an equal fight. the eyes of the world are wide open, but the world preferred oil and gold instead of justice, and they sacrificed us, even though azerbaijan has promised to safeguard historical and religious sites, many fear they will be disagreed. it is still crossed as to tear for centuries. is now being dismantled along the road, and meg's it is towards armenia. people who are given only 6 days to pack belongings, accumulated over a lifetime are fleeing among them retreating armenian forces. and while they head out, russian peacekeepers are being deployed in killed by george. many people are not intent on leaving behind what they have built up over the past 3 decades. their

sense of despair couldn't be bored, clear. smoke billowing from their homes that they've purposely set on fire. the memories of lifetimes in ashes about 5000 ethnic armenians lived here. this barely anyone, left village after village deserted, diffused, still remaining, are preparing to leave soon. it's history that repeats itself. somehow, these are the ruins of the house of unnecessary family. many others lived in this area, and they had to leave when azerbaijan lost the 1st kind of a hole or in the early 1990, s. and armenia occupied this region back then hundreds of thousands of a series which is staffed of the looker about and the 7 surrounding districts, but some armenians like several men at 2nd yan also had to relocate and now he's doing so again, we're not leaving, we're being thrown out as a version expelled us with this war. painful,

i was instapundit fighting. when i heard about the ceasefire. i didn't think about it, but it turns out that i've been displaced once more. i'm going to armenia, but i have no place thrown onto the streets. as we head out, an orange glow brightens the night. whorehouses set ablaze and no one around. i mean, in presence here is truly over. this is the story of a capital, a ship, a departure with the date of return. but they still hope that one day they will come back, put up that high meet the u.s. has set yet another record, and you covered $1000.00 cases of forcing more than 180000 infections. in 24 hours, deaths are also rising fast and hospitalizations are at their highest levels yet, and with the death rate lagging several weeks behind the infections. public health experts are warning that the situation looks set to get why. brunell's reports

19 cases are skyrocketing across the u.s. . hospitals in multiple states are running out of beds and protective equipment. doctors and nurses are once again exhausted. like every hospital across the country were overwhelmed or were getting overrun. governors across the country issued dire warnings. mandatory mask wearing orders and restrictions on businesses and social gatherings. the dreaded winter surges here. infection records are being set and states across the entire country. we report, record hospitalizations and deaths day after day. our hospitals are full. 5 percent of the folks at that and or the hospital with covais don't make it out, but one in 20, california join texas as the 1st states recording over 1000000 cases. each. meanwhile,

president elect joe biden and his cold 900 task force are still barred by the outgoing trump administration from getting briefings on the situation. it's imperative that our team and our experts have better access. some states like new mexico have imposed a near complete shutdown, but biden will not order a nationwide freeze when he takes office on january 20th. we're not in a place where we're saying, shut the whole country down. we've got to be more targeted. americans are getting ready for the thanksgiving holiday, which traditionally involves big family gatherings. public officials are begging them to limit groups. we must tell you, you must cancel the normal thanksgiving plans. the u.s. centers for disease control forecast deaths could reach as many as 282000 over the next 4 weeks. robert oulds al-jazeera. well, european countries swarmed by

a 2nd wave of the pandemic prompting more and more governments to introduce even tougher restrictions. italy has reported more than 37000, new infections in its latest 24 hour period, and another 544 people have died. it's now added campania and tuscany to its red zones with the strictest lockdown measures. the u.k. is reported 9 127000 new cases with another 462 deaths. that's now been nearly 52000 coronavirus related deaths of roll in the country and elsewhere in poland. the death toll has passed 10000 with a record high of 548, deaths reported on saturday, and 25 and a half 1000 new cases. almost 2 thirds of the country's hospital beds are now occupied by a coven, 1000 patients. elsewhere. austria says it's moving from a foot from a nighttime curfew to a full lockdown for 2 and a half weeks starting on tuesday. more than 9 and a half 1000 new cases were reported on friday. a day the reco added 9 times its

number at the peak of the 1st wave. chanceless abbas and kurds announced a new lockdown. there's the sure usual sense in nobody wants schools to be closed. nobody wants get strong army tried truism and culture to stand still. and nobody wants to be banned from eating relatives, family members, parents and friends, especially up to christmas. but we must, and i am convinced of this, take this step together. so i ask you to help out over the next few weeks together, we can turn the tide because the more consistently we pull through this lockdown, the shorter we will need it to berman 10 people have died. meanwhile, in romania, after a fire broke out there in a coven, 1000 hospital ward 7. others were badly injured by the fire, which swept through an intensive care ward in the northern city of pattern and say, all but one of the victims were patients remain. his health minister says the fire was most likely started by an electrical short sakit. it was al jazeera live from

but it was but it won't last. this is the interior wind, but you just changed the other direction didn't 22, but time to get to monday, the showers moving across into what's still warm weather in queens, but nothing like as big as they were just a couple of days ago. and in perth was gone quite a good 25 degrees in the sunshine for, you know, to such interesting weather on the other side of the equator. whilst we wait for winds to come in, we stir there enough to keep beijing's air quality at least reasonable, if not particularly good. a few showers, maybe in the south of japan. rain, significant rain, just catching western ground or grungy, or even, you know, and because of this, this tropical cycling, probably just up to typhoon strength, where it makes landfall in vietnam that falls apart. now, you know what's happening, the sas china sea. the northeast monsoon is following it up, stigma say across the bay of bengal with significant rain for chennai.

a great region has admitted its forces carried out the attack which sparked the war there. and in a major escalation, at least 3 rockets have been fired, eritrea's capital from ethiopia, ethnic armenians have been destroying their own homes as they leave illegitimate, just outside of nagorno-karabakh for sunday's under a land to azerbaijan. i mean, a state security says it's foiled. an assassination attempt on the prime minister be called question young in the united states is set yet another record for a new covert 1000 cases forcing more than 180000 infections in 24 hours. well now supporters of us president donald trump has been staging a mass protest in washington backing his claims of election fraud. they marched close to the white house, a week off to joe biden was projected to be the winner of the presidential election . similar events have been planned across the u.s. president has yet to concede defeat, and as issued legal challenges in several states. but with little success. early

a trunk greeted the crowds as his motorcade drove through the protest. he was on his way to one of his golf courses just outside the city. my mission is to lead the country and especially more importantly what we have not given up for the fact that there's irregularities in voting in europe. the picture of military brass today never knew we were out there, there is no, no watching the vote and maricopa county. you know, it's all right. go down. if you're a mysterious and weird ways, it's more efficient. this isn't over. it's not even close to being over, and those people that are telling you right now that it is over, are lying to you. so roland, john is following events for us from washington, joins us now. tell us more about the, the turnout of trump's supporters today. how many people were in washington, and did we see anything similar in other cities in the country?

you saw smaller events across the united states, but washington was really the place where you saw the most people turnout. and that was about several 1000 people at its peak and early afternoon on saturday. this was an event that, you know, had a couple of minor scuffles between a people who support the president and those who oppose the president. but there was enough of a police presence around washington on saturday that those scuffles were quickly broken up. there were no massive outpouring of violence. it has, it had been feared by many in this area. it is worth noting that we did see very briefly the u.s. president's motorcade co-pastor, the heart of the beginning of saturday's demonstration at freedom plaza. that's about 3 blocks or so from the white house. the president had suggested on twitter on friday that he would do such a thing as an incentive to his supporters,

to turn out and to demand and into the vote. which, as you have noted, is unlikely to want to happen because there have been very few cases of any of electoral fraud happening in this year's presidential race. and what about the transition process? because we have seen that president trump's team is obviously denying joe biden access to a presidential level intelligence briefings. how is the biden team approaching this? well, one of the benefits for the president elect, at least from his perspective, is that he has worked in national politics for a very long time. so he has a large coterie of advisers and potential cabinet members with whom he is very familiar and he can tap on their expertise and their experience. but that does not

mean that it is a substitute for actually dealing with the people who work in the federal government right now. and what that means is that the bind transition needs to have an authorization letter issued by the so-called logistics agency. the general services administration so that you can have the money, as well as the physical space in federal agencies to assess what needs to be done, who needs to be hired and who should be getting background checks for the jobs that require senate confirmation. thank you very much from washington, ross and joan. now brazil is going to be holding local elections on sunday and for the 1st time, black candidates make up the majority. racism runs deep in brazilian history. people of color experience much higher unemployment and poverty rates compared to whites. but activists say that change is coming when i can a cure ports now from rio de janeiro. first there was the murder of my foot on

the day after the brazilian city council shut down reduction in 2 years ago. high profile murder, amid thousands of thanks to brazil's black community, to endorse floyd, step in the united states last meet the mission, black wives matter, protest worldwide to similar but separate events that have helped inspire a new generation of blacks. 20 brazilian politics and shaped their own destiny. then a social be seen on sundays, municipal elections. more than half of the candidates are people have color numbering, whites for the 1st time in history. 40 year old age madam said he was born and raised here in village community, one of reels from balanced or slums. a longtime activist, she helped found the favelas front, a political movement for blacks from poor neighborhoods. now she's running for city

council. don't want to say be kept black women are extremely active in poor communities, but to make a real difference, you have to be in power. you have to hold a penny a hand and sign the laws that will change this very unequal and racist society. like some browns account for 56 percent of brazil's population, but injure much higher unemployment and poverty rates than whites. and they're poorly represented partly because their underfunded brazilian parties receive public funds and free radio and t.v. time to run their campaigns. the party leaders have been distributing money as they please, favoring white men. mostly, a supreme court decision this year is now forcing parties to share the phones fairly. more a suitable got to choose the lawyers we use the black lives of the movement to plead our case. we argue that an unequal society leads to violence. and in this sense, brazil is doing worse. the united states police fire has killed 236 african-americans

in 2019. in brazil, it killed $4353.00 blacks during the last elections like candidates received up to 3 times less money than whites city council or candidate. almost like a mule too, says that parties are not yet fully complying with the new law, but believes change is inevitable. we're seeing a current political consciousness amongst blacks, woman and minorities. he says their purchase of patient in future elections will only grow and so will their chances of being fairly represented. monica in i.q. 0. rio de janeiro. now, officials are retrieving the bodies of dozens of people. killed by the army has given some distraught families hope they could find out what's happened to their missing relatives. the military says soldiers carried out at least 50 extrajudicial killings in the northwest of the country. p.s.u.

reports now from bogota forensic experts from colombia's earthing mass graves near the northwest town of the army. officers have testified that at least 50 people killed by soldiers and falsely presented as rebel fighters to boost up the sticks are buried. here already $54.00 bodies have been recovered, but only 4 identified the burials tonight for more than 2 decades. after one of the darkest chapters of the country's civil conflict. that disappeared in 1997 until today 2020. that means that we look for him for 23 years . family members lining up to give blood samples to help identify the dead through d.n.a. matching or still looking for 3 of manuel's children. perhaps

will find one of the bodies to find out where they are. one thing is to know where they're buried. give them a funeral. another is having no idea of what happened to them. official estimates say that some 200000 bodies still need to be discovered in colombia. it's just one of many tasks that the peace tribunal is addressing as the country tries to face its past. the ect that congregates us here and did a bieber central part goes beyond returning these bodies to the family that reiterate and wavering commitment with truth and justice. yet the tribunals created under the 2016 peace accord with 5 gravels has been at the center of the political attacks that some criticize the fact that former rebels to tell the truth and compensate big things can avoid prison terms. others believe the tribunals is biased against the military and politicians allegedly involved in war crimes.

the former president has been leading the charge recently calling for a referendum to abolish the courts altogether. but some observers say, what critics fear the most is the i'm bailing of evidence showing collusion between the military paramilitary in powerful elites, former president. he's that strong, the proceedings the special restriction of peace from the truth commission. but for millions of victims of colombia's long internal conflict, this is the 1st real opportunity to get a glimmer of justice and relief. i listened to central american media is a calling for support as the 2nd powerful storm in 2 weeks moves towards the region . as seeking emergency funds from the central american bank during one of the busiest atlantic concedes ever is the 30th named storm in the area this year,

not like the one that we did and now so go, but if they're together with those 59 governments know this line, most of them, they were a little bit reaches richer than the other one. little bit. all you rank them, the other one, just a quick recap of the top stories now and off to days of denial. an official in ethiopia to grey region has said that its forces carried out an attack which fox, the war that and then this also comes with a major escalation in the conflict have always been fear is that it could spread to other parts of the region cross national borders and so those fears of really been a really been found by 3 rockets that have been fired eritrea's capital from ethiopia. that's at least 2 rocket.
