if you want to help save the world, this is al jazeera it's just gone 10100 hours g.m.t. here on al-jazeera. hello, i'm kemal santa maria. welcome to the news hour. ethiopia's to great conflict spills over borders. attacks are launched on eritrea, while sudan takes and thousands of refugees. also in the news handover day in nagorno-karabakh, grieving armenians leave their homes for the final time. before azerbaijan takes control, the world's largest free trade block has been created. 15 asian pacific countries

have signed a deal at the summit. and egypt's made a dazzling discovery in ancient treasure trove, dating back more than 2000 tickets. and as for world number one, dustin johnson has taken control of the masters, heading into sunday's final round. johnson has 4 shots, clear and insights of his 2nd major. it's not so the conflict in ethiopia is not only escalating to its wind with the leader of the region, confirming his forces have launched attacks across the border on the eritrean capital. at least 3 rockets fired 2 of them hit the main airport in a smaller. this is after some earlier threats from the take rate people's liberation front. the unkindness from we will conduct missile attacks to full military movements in

a small we will undertake every other kind of measure to full efforts to subjugate the take rate people inside the gray or other places. remember that great, the tepee is fighting against ethiopian government forces. prime minister the military campaign in the region 11 days ago. and the take, great leaders did eventually admit they struck 1st this fighting, sending thousands of civilians fleeing over to neighboring sudan. there are reports of massacres of ethnic profiling with both sides accused of atrocities. so let's start with mohammed, though. he is in gondar and if you the leader of the ticket a people's liberation front. because they had actually counted out the missile attacks in targeting that airport on this admission now means the war has officially crossed international borders. and it's just a matter of time diplomats say before a trip becomes official, involved in the war between the leadership of the ticket people's liberation front

and the government of ethiopia. but the leadership of the typical left always maintained from the beginning of this conflict that at a trail is involved and puts you in government. kyle said on sunday that 16 divisions from a tree and i'm equal been fighting them with in the ticket in region, helping prime minister these forces. now, what does this mean for the war in the conflict that's been raging on for the past 11 days or so? it means that the t.p. corner from both sides, on one side, prime minister forces the ethiopian national defense forces and on the other side, the eritrean forces. and that lifts them little room for maneuver, but again, with an estimated 250000 troops of their own and been armed to the teeth.

it could take a while in the conflict, could become protracted. something that does not go well for not just ethiopia, but the entire horn of africa region. and as we mentioned, there are thousands of refugees crossing into sudan just over the past week. have been, morgan is reporting from there, the sudan, ethiopia, border hundreds of refugees continue to arrive here at the reception center. now the center is just about 2 kilometers away from the sudan. if you appear border in sudan and hundreds of refugees have been pouring in. here in 200, a perception center with the number reaching up to 9000, just over the past few days alone. now most of them live in conditions like this out in the open with no shelter and no proper sanitation. and this is raising concerns among aid organizations here, especially medics. that this would create a health crisis. medics say that most of the people who are right suffer from chest infections as well as malaria infections due to exhaustion from traveling for days,

skipping the fighting in the tigra region. most of the refugees were spoken to speak of the same horror saying that they have seen people being slaughtered, that they've seen aerial bombardment, which is what made them fear for their lives. here to sudan seeking safety and seeking humanitarian aid. now, medics say that they are quite concerned about the number of refugees and the influx. they say that they're expecting more than $1000.00 over the coming days. and that's just here. and it's what a reception center sudan says that it's putting a total of up to $200000.00 in the coming week between here in kosovo state and out of state with both border. and it's calling out for the international aid organizations to help respond to what it's calling is turning out to be a refugee crisis. let's bring this together now with jason mosley, a research associate for the african studies center at the university of oxford in the u.k. . nice to have you with us just let's actually start with the wider picture, the fact that eritrea is now being drawn in as well. that has to be

a concern with the widening of the conflict. how do you think eritrea will, will, will respond? well, there is really concerning that the entire situation is highly, highly volatile, and a strong concern should be for a strong concern of the international community. and it's good to see that this is getting the attention it starting to get. now, there is a lot, we don't know about what's happening. even the reports, you know, the t.p. left claiming attacks what they were actually able to hit if the attacks actually landed at all anywhere near where they were supposed to. it's been denied by the ice eritrean sources, but with media access, limited, independent corroboration of these kinds of facts is very limited. so it's difficult to say exactly what's happened. we can say however, that the border between eritrea and ethiopia is heavy mil, heavily militarized, and has been for 2 decades. so the potential for this to escalate significant is

obviously there. and certainly all sides in the conflict within ethiopia, have incentives to portray what's happening in highly highly fraught terms in order to internationalize it, but for different reasons. so it's very difficult to predict whether there are train government feels that it's in a position to push militarily on this. i think the key thing would be to focus on the need to reverse course from this spectacular failure of governance on the part of you and that men and or, and deescalate rather than focus on escalation. exactly. because if i go back to that earlier point you made about the information vacuum, we don't know exactly what's going on. but there are already accusations of, of massive his of ethnic profiling. some people to even talk about the beginning of

the genocide and ethnic cleansing. and the concern has to be that this is starting, this is going on and no one can get in there to either i verify it or be stop it. but i think it's really important to remember that although media access in tikrit has suddenly been dramatically reduced. actually the dynamics that underlie the, the conflict between the federal government and the regional authority are not brand new. the 7 cannot know where to go. a region is not the only part of the country and the tensions between the federal government to grey and politicians are not the only opposition that have been at odds over the last couple of years or and going back further. but since argument took office, there have been ethnic conflict sporadically breaking out in different parts of the country. there's been sustained armed resistance and armed opposition to abbie's agenda in the army region. there was a massacre in our media just before this broke out. so this should be put in the

context of the last few couple of years of increasingly worrisome violence in the country including ethnic what appear to be ethnically targeted attacks. not only on 2 grains, but they are, it's targeting to grains in other parts of the country. before now as well, so these are not new dynamics at all. is there since someone or some group that all these sides can sit down with or listen to or who can mediate? i just, i know the language of the t.p.m. if at the moment where they're basically saying, we will go off to any legitimate target. if they come at us, we will, we will hit them back bay. there seem to be in a mood to back down. yeah, and i think what's, what's particularly worrisome, especially given the history of ethiopia's conflicts and civil conflicts is the, the rapid hardening of positions over the last couple of weeks. and this,

this movement towards total position. the ethiopian government's position, of course, is that we're happy to negotiate with, you know, and talk peaceably. once the t.p.a. left has been completely eliminated, all of its leaders are arrested. then of course, we're happy to talk, you know, which isn't a very flexible position. and that the grand people's liberation front position is obviously also not not really open to compromise. there's an interesting parallel with the long standoff in eritrea. where a peace agreement had been reached in 2000. but the implementation of the peace agreement stalled. and for, you know, for almost 20 years, any time international mediators tried to get involved in this right. it was seen as taking the side of ethiopia because they were asking for talks. and that the eritrean perspective was there's no reason for talks because there's an agreement that needs to be implemented. and so similarly now the g.p.l.

left calls for dialogue are being portrayed by the government and its supporters in etc. but as there is nothing to talk about, we have a constitutional order in this country, and therefore, you need to get on board with the constitutional or accept the legitimacy of the federal government. if we're talking, then we are eroding that legitimacy. and the stations don't really have much ground for compromise from the university of oxford. we really thank you for your time this sunday and for euro expertise on this topic. thank you. thank you. 11 minutes past the news hour and here's what's coming up. they are still defiant. thousands of donald trump's supporters gather in washington as the president still refuses to concede the election a week later. as coronavirus hits zimbabwe's struggling economy. we look at how people are helping each other out in times. and your sports music drive is taking

on some tough conditions in tokyo. lewis hamilton is targeting a 7 formula one world time on to other news in the 1st transfer of land in the disputed region of, i'm going to kind of act is taking place as part of the deal to end 6 weeks of fighting between armenia and azerbaijan. i mean, it's handing over the district of his anger, amongst the people living there, to so many set fire to their homes as they prepared to leave. the deal has been celebrated by those in azerbaijan. but it has led to protests against the armenian prime minister because i mean state security also says it's failed on the sasa nation attempt on police, arrested the former head of state security and 2 others and refusing to step down despite the widespread criticism. a reminder of how will this looks on the map

because it can get a little bit complicated. they're going to care about is the region in red. it is internationally recognized as azerbaijan's territory, but has been held by armenia since $994.00 and is surrounded by disputed areas. so as we go in, we've had these 6 weeks of fighting, the a series picked up the territories not to yellow, including second biggest cities shusha. as part of the ceasefire deal amenia has to hand over this region to the a series today, and then the ag down region and the gaza district on friday. and then finally, will have december 1st with the armenians will hand over luchon, district keeping only the launching corridor, which is a mountain pass that actually connects and going to cut about 2 as well. john gets a new card or in the deal, giving back you access to its previously isolated territory and autonomous republic . it's pretty complicated, but we've got our reporters on the ground to take us through it. asama bin job aid

in ghana in azerbaijan will be with you in a moment to some i want to start though with an update from her bill hamid who is on the outskirts of district the area which is being handed out of a hoarder. well, i would say rather that the area has been handed over already as of midnight. it has become officially part as there by john and we were there for the past 2 days. there was barely anyone left, all the houses were empty. some people have taken away even the windows, the doors of those houses, the furniture until now, just until half an hour ago, you see we've seen some herders come with their sheep and cows taking over their livestock out, so there's barely any life remaining in giardia, armenians. who actually many of them, this is the 2nd time that they're placed. because by john, until the early 1990 s.

was mostly inhabited by aires. and then you had this population once the patient happened. now where do you people are going to go? what their future is looking like. this is up in the air. some have complained that the government hasn't reached out to them, hasn't spoken to them, hasn't it been explained to them? what this deal is all about is obviously anger because if you look at that map, basically armenia lost about 2 thirds of the land it had in the karabakh regions is a big defeat. it's a humiliation. and people not only in this area, angry, but also in a year event in other cities and towns. most of the people i spoke to said, why did we have this war? if this is the outcome, the number of dead soldiers is rising. the ministry of health says that that number is now in 2317, but it will continue to rise because as we speak,

the international red cross is engaged in, you know, do swaps of bodies, still a long list of missing people. so the whole host of this war for, i mean, yet it's still not clear, it is a very heavy toll, and i think that more to people would hear about it. and the more it is, otherland that you mentioned is going to be returned to azerbaijan. to more people is going to increase, and the prime minister is in that very difficult position at this stage. ok, thank you. meet with that update for us. we'll now go to some of enjoy that there is to ghana in azerbaijan, has outlined for us exactly how much i mean here is losing and giving up here. how is it we might be wondering that azerbaijan has done so? well, if i can say out of the well by the write downs, president said that they have won and armenia's been defeated and to put it in his words, there is been, it's a bittersweet moment for people here. they're very happy that they will be able to

go back to their land. people about 60000 people. there is who were living in our knowing are now going to be heading back to their homes. but they are angry and frustrated when they look at those pictures of people taking doors and windows and burning their homes because they say that this wasn't theirs to begin with. it was a very populated all of the their meanings came from outside and they're looting and destroying what was in there. so yes, it is a bittersweet moment for them be very close to where it is. we cannot access that area from this side because for the last 30 years, the lords have been in disrepair. so the military is allowing very limited security access to its personnel who are going to be going there. and we've been asking them, how will this function are they going to go in? are they going to secure the borders if they're going to be our very military who's going to be in charge of the areas? and here's one of the top generals. what he told us,

they have to make sure that all of the park forces they are moving out from recent region. the next day, each, it will be decided around the negotiation table. next to each 1st of all, our state of the troops, they have to move in, and they have to provide security all international border in this region between armenia and azerbaijan. right now, it is not our task to force a 1000000 to leave all of this. you know, the sri regions that's task of peacekeeping troops. that's why they moved in. and it is their task will ask them, that's our backup plan. and that is how it will pan out. the russian peacekeepers are going to come in there, clear the area then the azerbaijani course to cause a border patrol force goes and secure the border between the by jan and armenia, and then they restore the area bit by bit infrastructure reference or

infrastructure. we spoke to the landmine commission, they told us that this area is littered with land mines and unexploded munitions across the line of contact and in these areas that people are evacuating. so it is going to be months and perhaps years before people can actually go back and rebuild their lives. but it is the 1st step in a process where either by dani's feel that they have won. thank you for that up. there are some are in charge it to ghana while thousands of supporters of the u.s. president down are trying to help a demonstration in washington, d.c. . trump himself encouraged the protest and many echoed his claims of fraud during the presidential election results in jordan. now reports it is unlikely their enthusiasm will impact the result. the briefest glimpse of u.s.

president donald trump just blocks from the white house prompts motorcade drove past thousands of people gathered on pennsylvania avenue on saturday morning for what they called their 1000000 magnum, r. r. r. the protesters goal overturn the result of the november 3rd presidential election and give tromp a 2nd, 4 years in office. these demonstrators believe the media, the democratic party, and other sinister forces conspired to steal the vote from trump. my mission is to let the pretty country and especially work on board ship we have not given up on the fact that there's irregularities in voting in there are being taken every patriot who can hear my voice. it's a conspiracy being spread by some of the president's closest allies and lapped up by millions who have no control over our own destiny anymore. and so if there's

a big corruption by fine and can't hold media, and i say, oh,, i mean that literally on a.b.c. n.b.c. c.b.s., you're going down the line. and just as quickly, being denied by elections, officials from coast to coast in georgia, officials say they've already reviewed about 20 percent of the ballots and have yet to uncover any evidence of voting fraud in pennsylvania. no plans to hold a recount because joe biden's victory is wide enough to avoid one. it may have felt good for trump supporters to rally for an end to the vote counting, but with 51 percent of the popular vote and at least $306.00 electoral college votes. it's going to be joe biden, who takes the oath of office at noon on january 20th. whether or not trump supporters like it. rosalyn jordan al-jazeera, the white house. very pleased to welcome back to al-jazeera former u.s.

deputy homeland security adviser under president obama. thanks for your time. i mean, let's not talk about president trump because really he has to the other done anything in the last week. let's be honest. let's look ahead. what's. what's joe biden achieved in the last week? i mean, he's ignoring the lack of a concession and is pressing on he isn't he, in fact he's already has several of his transition team. there are groups of people who are many, many who served in the government before who are preparing to implement the president's vision. by reviewing the status of every department and agency, what he's done, how they do it so they can hit the ground running on january 20th. does it start to look like and you'll know you having a war 2 in the obama administration. is it looking like almost a return to those days? joe biden did run on a comparatively progressive platform, but i wonder if a lot of it is just about stating the ship to stop within and going back to some

trusted names. number one is to undo. so much that the damage that president trump has done, and that crosses a lot of different subject matters. so for example, climate, police reform, immigration and our foreign policy, and many, many of those issues you'll see in the 1st instance for setting the harmony trumpet, ministration. the former president biden is able to begin to implement his own vision for the future, right. and in the 1st 1st instance is kind of at 19 as if that comes before everything else at this point. obviously, climate and foreign policy is important, but what do you make of the biden plan to try to bring covert under control? and again, just try to roll back some of the damage that's been done already. so to be clear, they are no much more challenging position and today then the united states was when they 1st learned of co, then write the number of co-infections all across the united states is very high.

and in some cases, whole communities, states are impacted and some of the challenge is significant. but that's why the president elect has already set up a covert task force. he's trying to assemble the best minds, people who have prior experience dealing with infectious disease outbreaks. so that as soon as he takes office, he's able to begin to hold out these policies and he recognizes that because it's such a challenge, you have to start early even before he's in the seat. ok, so that's what i want to ask you because we've got what is it 60 odd days until inauguration? there is a code to toss force in place. obviously the presidential one, but i mean the president hasn't gone to one of those meetings for about 5 months. i believe or something. do you think people in the united states will start looking towards the president elect's team a little bit more? look for more guidance from them and to what they are planning. so it's interesting because when you talk about infectious disease response, it's actually

a lot that the states can do directly. so to the extent the president elect can start to lay out a comprehensive plan that you some direction that the states can follow very quickly, that will be moving forward even before he takes office. but when it comes down to providing resources, funding, direction, legal changes, economic support, all of that, he has to be in the seat. so right now it's much more symbolic. he can lay out with the best practices are he can refer to its task force or that people understand what they should be doing now. for example, he's talked about universal wearing of masks. but he can't actually push for the change until he's taken the oath of office. yes, i mean pope joining us from london a pleasure talking to you. thank you. thank you very much. now the 2nd major hurricane in days is forcing people to evacuate their homes in several countries across central america. many of fled in honduras. while evacuations have been

announced in guatemala and they could argue as well. thousands of people are still in shelters after a storm. hit with less than 2 weeks ago, that was more than 200 people have been killed all up for the south. the floodwaters of forced people on to their roofs in colombia, heavy rain being attributed to the niña weather. passon, electricity and phone lines have been cut in many rural areas and mexico's president has pledged federal funding to help thousands of people impacted by floods in the race. manuel lopez obrador traveled to the state of tabasco on saturday, and the 10000 people were moved after flooding destroyed their homes more now with our meteorologist rob mccallum. thank you. this is tough in vancouver. 3 days ago went across clues on just to the north. the middle is where the i went, is such a big typhoon that effected the north of there. this is the kagen valley filmed not long ago, still flooded, still full of water there. when this thing came back over to the south china sea,

it grew even more the ice still obvious, but it's heading towards vietnam and it's just made landfall. it did gain strength, but more recently has lost a little bit of strength. and the eye is just about filled in now, is going to oversee rapidly decline. but that's not the major problem when it went on shore, probably as a tropical storm, rather than a typhoon winds could be about 95 carries for. so moving fairly rapidly, there it was always a problem. rain wise rather than wind wise, not still seems to be the case. at the moment, i've seen recorded a 165 degrees and don't, which is more or less where the i went off shore dunc always had this month's worth of rain already. this is just going to make things worse and you know that vietnam is covered in floods at the moment. over the next 24 hours, it will disappear as a of a form, a storm of any sort. of course the rain, anything at a half a meter is still going to fall. we're halfway through this news hour. here's what's

still to come, cracking down on dissent. nigeria's accused of oppressing supporters of a movement which protested against police brutality. heading to the polls again, people in monto the vote in a presidential runoff that could change the future of the country. and support the 1st finalist is decided for the season's parkas on super late. and he is here with that in response to the plate. when the muse breaks are thrown, when people need to be heard and the story needs to be told, that's why they have increased testing in areas with a high infection rate, with exclusive interviews and in-depth reports, people here tell us they are desperate. they're hungry and hope al-jazeera has teams on the ground what kind of lasting impact the 2nd lockdown would to bring you more award winning documentaries and life news food for

celebration. food for reconciliation and food from ancient civilizations. al-jazeera world goes on a mouthwatering hunt and region from spain to the middle east, to discover the hidden history behind some of the region's best loved dishes. savoring the past on al-jazeera. in the news here at al-jazeera, and these are the top stories,

the leader of the region in northern ethiopia says they've launched rocket attacks on the airport of eritreans capital us moderate government forces launched an offensive on the take rate 11 days ago. the 1st transfer of land in the disputed region of the going to cairo back has happened part of a deal to end the fighting between armenia and azerbaijan. many people living in just set fire to their homes as they left and thousands of supporters of u.s., president donald trump of been demonstrating in washington d.c., many of them echoing trump's unproven claims of fraud in the presidential election to the asia pacific, where 15 nations have agreed to create what will be the world's largest free trade bloc, the regional comprehensive economic partnership or us. it was the left to check. it includes china, japan, south korea, australia, new zealand, and 10, southeast asian nations. together representing 2200000000 people and 29 percent of

global economic outputs. the state was signed on the sidelines of the summit. that is the association of southeast asian nations, which is a group of 10 nations spanning from indonesia to mean mom and key priority for the block is its relationship with china. the new economic partnership promises to improve trade relations, but there are still tensions over the south china sea. traditionally, the u.s. monitors the china ass and relationship closely and meets with member states during, the summit. but u.s., president trump a skeptic for 3rd year. another focus for the bloc of course 19 some s.c.n. nations like singapore, have cases under control of this are still seeing rising numbers. deborah elms with us now from singapore chief executive of the asia trade center consultancy. and thank you for your time. deborah, when you see a deal like this, it kind of makes sense, doesn't it? in fact, you wonder what hasn't already happened. this is a, a huge potential trading area. and with the us really not playing ball at the

moment, why not? well, i mean, i think it's easy to say that it's another thing to actually deliberate and so this isn't a deal that's been 8 years in the making. they started at the end of 2012, we've been through almost 30 rounds ministers themselves and 11 different times the leaders have met 4 times before. we actually got to today signing ceremony. so this is ben. what seems like an obvious move, but it is harder in practice than you would like to imagine. ok, so tell me about the potential benefits of it all. when you combine, what with what if you say 15 nations like this? yes. 15. some of the world's fastest growing markets and some of the largest markets in the world with very connected supply chains. the agreement was always intended to give an anchor for asian trade in asia, because although these are many of the economies in this region are economic powerhouses in and of themselves,

where they tend to send their final products or services to the u.s. to the europeans. even sometimes to the japanese, but they say that you generally don't trade in asia for asia, and i think our subsets of the region to do a whole lot more interior asian trade than we have seen in the past. given the difficulties in other major markets like the us and europe coming out of kobe, i think it's especially important that asia be able to trade with asia. so i think there are some significant economic benefits. and then of course, from a sort of political perspective, it's very important to be able to demonstrate that trade is alive and well, particularly here in asia, that leaders have an opportunity now and in fact are required to meet at least once a year. around asian trade and asian economic issues are and that they have this institutional structure that will help support the future development of trade in the region. so that could be everything from standards on 3. d.

printing to intellectual property rights rules to how we handle trade in general. right? so if it becomes more of an i like the phrase you use that asia trading with asia, it makes sense. doesn't match the quite so much that the us hasn't been involved hasn't been monitoring for the last 3 years. is there an expect, you know, it's not expected to change under obama presidency? well, i think we'll see the biden team be out in asia, much more than we saw the trumpet ministration, certainly. and the biden team will have to figure out how they do a better job of engaging economically with the region. because right now they have very limited schrade agreements in place that puts american companies at a competitive disadvantage in this fast growing region compared to those who are included in our step. and so i think we will see some challenges for the u.s. and for u.s. companies, i think for the region, it is still better for most of them to have the united states involved. because if

you are manufacturing as an example, products for both u.s. market, europe, market and asian market, it would be best if those 3 bodies could agree on what are the standards that we need to manufacture to everything from electrical standards to data flow information to product labeling standards, the more harmonization you get between big players, the better it is for everyone. and so i think there are many economies, and certainly many firms in asia who would prefer to have the united states be more engaged in trade issues than they have been several homes from the asian tried centigrade talking to today. thank you for your time. thank you. thank you. well, talks aimed at ending nearly a decade of violence and libya have now been extended into a 7th day. rival factions are meeting in tennessee as capital of agreement over to hold nationwide elections in december next year. delegates, a negotiating of the appointment of an interim government. harriet's in tunis

following this for us. i guess this is a good sign. clear that things are being extended because a lot already been achieved and clearly they want to keep going. that's right. i mean, essentially we don't nor why the talks were extended, they were due to finish on saturday, the 14th. but then as you see, there was a mint of elections to take place in december of next year. so what we think is on the agenda to d. is that delegates will be discussing mechanisms in order to implement our select rather a prime minister and other key positions. but the thing to bear in main debate, these key these key positions is that they will be interim reports, interim posts in order to last, until those elections can take place in december of next year. when about point, when the people of libya can vote,

can who they want to have compare. so in essence, what is coming out of weeks specht is that one transitional phase. the current one is going to be replaced by another transitional fees. and the logic behind that is that this would be an organized freeze because the current transitional institutions there imposed really a because of circumstances because of the lack of a suitable alternative. so this new executive authority, but would see the country through until those elections can take place next year those parliamentary and presidential elections to result in a single, unified libyan government. so basically there is a long way to go. all the conclusions of these talks might well result in an agreement from the participants. but the real question is, will that result be accepted by the people who have pair or on the grain? and that's the thing to watch next. ok, let's carry it with the latest from the libya talks in tunis. thank you. clerk.

reporters without borders has cautiously welcomed a decision from egypt to release 5 journalists in prison, but says much more needs to be done. i need 2 of them have actually been freed and dozens remain in prison. last month, a group of american and european politicians called on president of the c.z. to release activists and lawyers, and journalists that were prisoners of conscience criminal investigations, been launched in nigeria into 50 celebrities who supported the protests against police brutality. they've been accused of promoting the end saas demonstrations. court is sought to determine whether they're responsible for property damage during rallies. musicians for players and journalists are among those names. these are of course, the mass protests last month, which called for an end to police brutality by the special anti robbery squad. and not just celebrities, or under pressure from the nigerian authorities human rights watch, says activists and media organizations are also being suppressed. prominent

supporters of the movement have had their bank accounts frozen. after being accused of financing terrorism. 3 media outlets have been fined for broadcasting footage of soldiers shooting protesters. a government officials say that video was actually manipulated, and people who demonstrate on the streets are often subject to heavy handed police tactics, tear gas, water, cannon, and live ammunition have all been used. so we've got with us now in a bhutto who is the nigeria researcher for human rights watch. and you as a, as, as i list all of those things there, it's just the classic playbook, isn't it? as soon as people, particularly prominent people rise up and highlight the issues they get punished for it eventually. absolutely. i think, as you rightly stated, it's just straight out the hook a book that is intended to suppress critical voices. and it's just quite worrying for a country like nigeria that's supposed to be on the past. so to towards

a democratic consolidation for us to see actions being taken by view of florentines against illegitimate calls for accountability, which many people point to in the, in the, in the, under the umbrella at the end. i think that it does not instill or engender any sort of trust from the citizens. and at this point, many people are really questioning, you know, the broader issues of, you know, impunity, malfeasance in good governance. and you know, just the inability of the authorities to use a critical state regulators to fred that in its interests and it's, it's, it's, we need topical at this point and it's been, it's a lot of, i just, it's so in effect has anything really changed and we're looking at some pictures of the protests back in october. it was a, it was an enormous movement. and people back then were really saying,

we wouldn't back down from this, but i mean, everything you just listed. they had a sound that not much is really changed. i mean, while we don't see protests going out on the streets anymore, essentially because of the response from the authorities and continue traffic against protesters as well as prominent people supporting the police. as we're still seeing this conversation continue on on platforms like such on social media and we're seeing what is now a general consensus, especially amongst young people that they need to the forefront of politics right now. they have to 6000 years politics and really be in a position to exercise more. but it's who power in other to see the sort of media is that they want to be present them and to really have their interest in things that they care about is front and center of government's agenda. so i think that

it's moved from street protests to more are organizing, to reach more youths to reach more people ahead of the 2022 elections, those that individuals and young people especially, can, can have a say in governance can have a say in politics in me and that i'll comment, oh, of the country. i asked that election, it's many things. it is very much an internal issue, isn't it? just thinking earlier in our broadcast, we were talking a lot about the conflict and it's very different conflict, but that's going on with ethiopia and eritrea and was talking to a guest about well, who could intervene, who could help out. is there anyone who could do that in nigeria, or is it up to the government and the people? well, essentially, and most importantly it's up to the government and the people, you know, and citizens really decide that they want to change the situation in their countries

. they do what they can to be able to make their voices heard. but outside of that, i think that, you know, nigeria is a party to numerous international treaties at the regional level. and after, at the international, at the global level, under the un, and many of these countries have days, they've come together to save rule, hold each other accountable, we will ensure that your footballing, you know, the rules that you have and up for. and so they also have a critical role to play in really ensuring that they act as watchdogs and that they speak up against injustice against. ringback human rights abuses, as they have declared that they will. and then really what the one theory and people in actualizing their balls what their country and their real i think most

importantly, their allegiance is to the nigerian people and not the one theory and got it. and as such, where they see this, these massive agitations for change. they haven't yet seen the identity ground to support the nigerian people in 1000000, realize it, and change that, that, that only tries to say that the idea of human dignity. and the idea that as it is in their human rights must be respected and protected. and yet no one from human rights watch in a boat or thank you repression at it very much to have covenanting as lead to jobs losses reduced wages for millions of people around the world in some way. and has also led to a rise in savings clubs. every morning everyone in this group contributes to the kitty $1.00 or the equivalent in

is going to take this lying down. he's already had quite a belligerent attitude in confronting his opponents. we saw him at a rally on friday where he really was trying to rile up his supporters to not just come out and vote for him, but also really to kind of take it to the opposition as it were. and really sort of show the support for him on the street. so really it's going to be quite a tough challenge for him, for voice of pro russian voices and for the incumbent president himself. if he's going to come out and challenge his pro, opponent, keeping an eye on the presidential runoff in those today, he will talk again later. still ahead for you. this news although sports. but it's had some problems at the masters and you have that story and
