it official federal holiday. people see it as a great opportunity to take to the streets to continue to let their message be heard. if you take great conflict spills over the borders, attacks are launched on eritrea. and more than 20000, people have fled to sudan. hello again on come on santa maria, here in doha with the world news from algiers. the grieving armenians have left their homes in the district of college off for the last time before john takes control. this president, donald trump, appears to acknowledge joe biden won the election with the latest on that from washington. and egypt with its dazzling discovery, an ancient treasure trove,

dating back more than 2000 to it's starting with ethiopia and some breaking news. 1st of all actually government have killed at least 34 people in an attack on a passenger bus. it happened in the west of the country, no indication of who carried out the attack, or if it's indeed linked to the escalating crisis. in the north, a conflict which is threatening to destabilize the entire region. really, the leader of tigra says his forces launch rockets into eritrea and is threatening to carry out more attacks. those who attacked you great will not just attack and return home. we will retaliate while they are here and strike the airports from which they launched attacks. there is no place that we can't reach and we will continue to attack selected targets that the invading forces are using against us.

well, it is now fighting both eritrean and ethiopian government troops says ethiopia will achieve its goals on its own. he tweeted those who commit crimes against humanity and peace will be held accountable. the number of people fleeing the violence into sudan has risen. are still at least 20000, according to the united nations. they have also been reports of ethnic profiling, of massacres, both sides accused of atrocities we should point out. so let's go to mohamed atta, he's in the city of gondar on the border of that region. the 1st mohammed, the latest on this bus attack? well yes, it happened in the devout gunman who saved 2 of the the bus stop was carrying passengers. and the gunman then killed the passengers in a very gruesome attack described by the european human rights commission. the

figure of 34 that according to the commission, is just an estimate in the coming hours and days, of course, these parts of the country is prone to such attacks against civilians, many militia groups. and most of this, usually the conflicts are based on divisions and ethnic city between the different groups that live in venetian. but goodness, mamma, let's move on to the existing conflict. the ongoing conflict in the north. the fact there seems to be being drawn into it now on the left is saying we will attack any legitimate military targets. how does that potentially change the conflict? well yes, this takes the conflict to a whole new love. it was spilled across the borders of ethiopia,

and now another country and a traitor, is about to be sucked in. if you would go with the version that you have pinned under a tree and governments are given right now, but the d.b.l. have how you most of the past week maintained that they have been fighting divisions of a trans army on the ground on today and regional soil and saying in a trailer was involved in the fighting from the onset. of course, this is something that's been all refuted by that i just have a government. i'm also a smarter with prime minister, saying that they have enough capability to fight all they are all in. what we know is that the missiles that landed in are smarter as well as the long, long held grievances by esiason for work against the t.v. l.f.

leadership nuff to put a smile or a wolf. of course there is that issue of the hold up between that a tree and ethiopia, which is also not did not create it. and the un border commission had drooled the flashpoint town of government to give into it a trade or something. prime minister is willing to do that, the area is currently administered by the current t.v. l.f. administration that governs and support. it definitely has an axe to grind without administration to see that he gets what he wants in terms of the border. he wants for a moment or diving, also in multiple situations out of you today. thank you, jonathan. let me give you a closer look. now at the main concerns of this group, we talk about the t.p.o. . if the tigre a region, they are worried that democratic reforms threaten the current federal arrangement which gives the very region its semi autonomous status. on top of that, the t.v. l.f. wants more of a say in ethiopia, future relationship with neighboring eritrea. and to think government has unfairly

targeted them as part of a crackdown on past rights abuses and corruption. here's some analysis from jason mosley. he's a research associate for the african studies center at the university of oxford in the u.k. . he told us it's really difficult to predict what will happen next. there is a lot, we don't know about what's happening. even the reports, you know, the t.p.a. left claiming attacks. what they were actually able to hit if the attacks actually landed at all anywhere near where they were supposed to and denied by the ice eritrean sources. but with media access, limited, independent corroboration of these kinds of acts 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 militarily militarized and has been for 2 decades. so the potential for this to escalate significant events

and obviously there and certainly all sides in the conflict within, you know, 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 the eritrean 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, both on the part of the government and or its integrity and deescalate, rather than focus on escalation on to other news in the 1st transfer of land between armenia and azerbaijan is happening as part of the deal to end financing over i mean is handing over the district of there is a lot of anger among the people living there, in fact, so deep that many set fire to their homes as they left. while the deal has been

celebrated by those and it's led to protests against the armenian prime minister. i mean state security, in fact, says it stopped an assassination attempt on him. police arrested the former head of state security and 2 others. he is refusing to step down despite widespread protests against iran. so here's a closer look at the region's being handed over because there's actually a lot in these deals and are going to care about is that area in red, internationally recognized as, as a territory, but held by armenia since $994.00. and it's surrounded by a bunch of other disputed areas. over the 6 weeks of fighting the series picked up the areas in yellow, including shusha, which is the 2nd biggest city and going to her back. and then as part of the cease fire deal, i mean, you had to hand over these 3 places that happened today. and also district on friday. and then december 1st,

the armenians have to hand over the lots in district as well. they will keep the latch in corrido, which is a mountain pass that connects. i'm going to cairo back and as a by john gets a new corridor down there which gives back to access to its previously isolated territory. the not to even autonomous republic. ok. so let's hear from her 1st of all. she's on the border of the district which was hunted over today. 24 hours ago . this road was packed bumper to bumper with people fleeing with their belongings with their life stoke. we saw armenian forces also retreating, oldest military hardware coming out. and then we saw the russian peacekeepers going into the opposite direction towards killed by jar. so the mood as an been very has been quite grim among people here. very few actually wanted to speak to us when we told them what's going on. they say, you know, what's going on,

what do you want me to tell you has to be said that those armenians who were living by john had moved in by and large in the early 1990 s. after azerbaijan lost that district before that, that district was acting as a majority, as there is, were living there. now, the armenians who are left are heading towards year of and are heading towards other cities and towns in armenia about what's the future going to look like? is the big question. one guy told me that he felt that he was being thrown on to destress and he didn't know how he was going to deal with that. what, where he's going to live, where he's going to put his children at school. basically these people have to start their lives all over again, and it's just early days. there is anger at the prime minister and he called pushing people think that he handled this very wrongly from the beginning. i think it's, we're heading towards a lot of political turmoil and also i think the more districts are going to be

handed over. the more it is going to be anger among armenians themselves. so that's armenia for the series. very different mood on the ground. on a binge of it's been following developments from to ghana. 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 at their ease. who were living in college or are 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 ethnic a very populated. all of these armenians came from outside and they're looting and destroying what was and so, yes, it is a bittersweet moment for them. we are very close to where col bashar is. we cannot access that area from this side because for the last 30 years, the roads 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? is it going to be a very military who is going to be in charge of the various russian peacekeepers are going to come in there, clear the area and then the other by johnny, the border patrol force goes and secure the border between as a by john and armenia, and then they restore these area bit by bit infrastructure our infrastructure. we spoke to the landmine commission, they told us that this area is littered with 9 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 johnnie's feel that they have won in the news ahead. 8 years in the making, the world's biggest free trade deal is signed. bringing in a 3rd of the world's economies together and cracking down on dissent in nigeria authorities accused of freezing the bank accounts of protesters.

how although things being quiet for a couple days, even a week or so across most of china, huge area the korean peninsula. and lastly japan there you see pics of showers. what's happening further west west the wave came across to him and i would inject a bit of moisture along with what remains of typhoon vanco, which is currently the norm. vietnam we get rain, then forecast central china will hand and beyond of the next day or so. now the most active weather is that typhoon drunkard's just made landfall in vietnam. so as an active storm, it will now fall apart and produce a great deal of writing to get a half a meter over the countryside and ground. for once it's gone through,

it is much quieter, and there are more than a few showers in the south china sea, or indeed in the philippine sea. no more development. now it's a pleasant change. the heaviest rain is further sas now, typically in southern sumatra, anywhere from k.l. southwards into jobber as well, but pretty well spaced showers for the rainy season for the time being. so there's the wesley wave on its way through. now it stood up the atmosphere in the whole and new delhi, so a quality is slightly better for a couple of days. it will go down again. the major rain though, of course, is further south andhra pradesh down to sri lanka. but dissecting the headlines in the midst of a pandemic. let's start with some of the all new ground realities affecting the news coverage. what's the lay of the land there? stripping away the spam a gripping story about presidential corruption. it is real reporting. it's not in your challenging assumptions and the official line,

we all decided we need to cut our security. we don't want to authority and it's media village just on out is iraq and says the number of dead is likely to rise and there is no indication yet it is linked to the conflict in the great ridge. that is where the leader of the region says his forces actually launched a rocket attack on the airport of eritreans. cat,

smaller government forces began an offensive into gray 11 days ago. and the 1st transfer of land between armenia and azerbaijan is taking place a handover of qatar. it's part of the deal to end the fighting over the disputed region of the trump seems to have acknowledged for the 1st time that joe biden did. in fact, win the election in the last couple of hours. trump tweeted this. he said he meaning biden won because the election was rigged. and then went on to say that no vote watches or observers were allowed. the vote was tallied by a radical left company with bad equipment, blamed the media, which he often does. and after that continue to tweet about on suspension of voter, fraud. russell and jordan in washington, d.c., it seems like one of those moments where he sort of says something but then carries

on with well, what we've come to expect from well, that's correct. if you just look at that one tweet and if there were nothing else, then you could probably assume that donald trump is conceding the 2020 election to joe biden. but he has also tweeted a number of tweets about his legal defense team efforts to recount the vote. the efforts to question the recounting process or the equipment used basically suggesting that his effort to overturn the election results in a number of battleground states does continue. so this is something that, while it is from a political tradition standpoint, really important for donald trump to say that he accepts the result of the vote on november 3rd, and that he will step aside, as is constitutionally mandated to joe biden,

on january 20th. the fact is he doesn't have to do it. and so there's a, you know, a lot of really looking at what is actually happening, which is the ongoing legal efforts to try to question the vote. 'd to try to question the security around the balloting to question the authenticity of the vote recounts in certain places or to try to push to stop the vote counting because of the fact that donald trump isn't picking up as many votes as he is his. and his supporters allege that he should be having, by this point sunday morning there in washington was not quite one for you there. you were saying earlier that you had a lot of trouble even getting in front of a camera yesterday because of the mega protests. that's right. the city has basically reopened today. there are no protests expected or scheduled. the local police have reopened nearly all of the roads in the

district, except for those roads surrounding the white house campus behind me. and that's to be expected. what's really notable is that this was really just one day of the president's supporters coming out of about 4 or 5000 by rough, unofficial estimates. and then you know, a few was scuffles throughout the day and into the evening where our local police were very quickly able to break them up and arrested about 20 people. that's kind of par for the course for saturday night in washington d.c. . but that's, of course, because you would expect people to be out socializing and visiting bars and going to sporting events. and then people, you know, getting a little bit into the heat of the moment. but certainly, because we are in the middle of a pandemic here in the united states, things such as, you know, clashes between opposing groups will get a little more attention than they otherwise might get right. with the rest of the,

week brings rosalynn jordan in washington. d.c., thank you. the world's biggest free trade deal has been signed 15 countries, including china and japan, are now part of the regional comprehensive economic partnership bloc that will cover nearly a 3rd of the world's population and economic activity. once though, he has a report from kuala lumpur, after 8 years of talks, the regional comprehensive economic partnership or ourselves, is finally signed, meeting virtually because of the pandemic leaders from 15 countries including china, japan, and 10 members of the association of southeast asian nations. end at the agreement in their respective countries. the conclusion of our separate negotiation, the largest free trade agreement in the world, will send a strong message that affirms leading role in supporting the multilateral trading system, creating a new trading structure in the region. it's an ambitious deal covering nearly 30

percent of global economic output and a 3rd of the world's population. the agreement aims to lower tariffs and open up trade and investment in stages. it will provide a simpler trading framework, meaning businesses won't have to navigate separate requirements to export to different countries. china is the biggest member in the trading block. its importance in the region grew even more after the u.s. led by president donald trump pulled out of the trade pact in 2017. that deal then known as the transpacific partnership or t p. p. would have been the biggest trade deal in the world. analysts say china is now poised to extend its influence even further. does not mean that things are going to change overnight dramatically as things unfold over the future and new issues come up that need to be is going to be one of those times. and simply because it is the member and of course,

charmers largest member does. i think, charmin, a very influential position in the future development of trade in the region. this is also the 1st free trade deal between rival east asian countries, china, japan, and south korea. the deal falls short in some areas, member states one day able to agree on some of the provisions on economists. the agreement also does not include environmentalists protections or set labor standards. the pact will come into force once enough, member states ratified the agreement domestically. a process that could take up to 2 years, florence louis al-jazeera, kuala lumpur. people in moldova are back at the version birds for a presidential run off this sunday. the contest, divisive one between pro russian incumbent igor dordogne and the former leader, my asunder who favors closer ties with europe under finished ahead in the 1st round . placing valorise of used stun grenades and tear gas to disperse anti-government

protesters in minsk. thousands of demonstrators were out there is renewed anger over the death of an activist in police custody earlier this week. there are reports more than 100 people have been arrested. of course, for months, thousands of people have been protesting every week demanding president alexander lukashenko. resign. talks aimed at ending nearly a decade of violence in libya, have been extended for a 7th day. rival factions, meeting in tennessee as capital of agreed to hold nationwide elections in december next year, and delegates are also negotiating the appointment of an interim government here is clear. harriet with more from tunis, where the talks are happening. essentially we don't know why the talks were extended, they were due to finish on saturday, the 14th. but then as you see, there was a amazement of elections to take place in december of next year. so what we think is on the agenda to be is that delegates will be discussing mechanisms in order to

implement our select rather prime a prime minister and other key positions. so the thing to bear main debate, these key these key positions is that they will be entered in posts, interim posts in order to last until those elections can take place in december of next year. when. what about point when the people of libya can vote on who they want to have and power? so in essence, what is coming out of 2 micio, we expect, 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, they are 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 the parliamentary and presidential elections to result in a single,

unified libyan government. a criminal investigation has been launched into 50 well known nigerians who supported protests against police brutality have been accused of promoting the demonstrations. a quarter has given police 2 weeks to determine whether they are responsible for property damage. during the romney's positions football players, journalists are among those names. part of the mass protests last months, calling for an end to police brutality by sols the special team robbery squad. and it's not just celebrities, under pressure from the nigerian authorities, human rights watch says activists and media organizations are being suppressed as well. prominent supporters of the movement had their bank accounts frozen. after being accused of financing terrorism, 3, news channels were fined for broadcasting footage of soldiers shooting protesters. and people who demonstrate are often subject to heavy handed police tactics to gas water cannon live, ammunition. have all the news we heard from you to. i want one who is the nigeria

research for human rights watch. who told us threats against protesters make it pretty difficult for people to trust the government. it's just straight out of the kid 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 pass to towards democratic consultation for us to see. the actions being taken by the authorities against midgets made calls for council. which many people supported even under the umbrella of the n sachs. 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 it. in governance and you know,

just the ability of the authorities to use a critical state regulators to spread that it's inches and it's, it's, it's, it's really topical at this point and it's been, it's a lot of, i just, we don't see protests going out on the streets anymore, essentially because of the response from the authorities and continue trap against protesters as well as prominent people supporting the police as we're still seeing this conversation continue on on our forums like social and 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 fix one just politics. the 2nd major hurricane in less than 2 weeks is forcing people to evacuate their homes in several countries across central america. many are fed in honduras,

while evacuations have been announced in guatemala and nicaragua, thousands of people are still in shelters after the storm. hit a hit in early november, more than 200 people were killed. and for the south floodwaters to force people on to the roofs of their homes in colombia. heavy rain in the region is being attributed to the niña weather pattern of a trustee in phone lines to many rural areas. i was sort of caught. well, archaeologists in egypt have announced a big discovery more than $100.00 wooden coffins with well preserved mummies have been found along with dozens of gilded statues, of ancient gods, as was announced extra apparent in secada as under schapelle reports buried beneath the sand for 2 and a half 1000 years, a breathtaking slice of egyptian history is revealed more than what it was, the color that you want it would have been, but how does that mean that it's only a year?

and more of the 4. put him off and over the top, and this is why would it archaeologists say the objects belong to the wealthiest of citizens? most of them are covered in gold. more than 40 statues of ancient gods and funerary masks were found alongside them. and it's thought the massive burial site just south of cairo, has far more in store, if it will be. the real surprise is that there is a workshop for making wooden coffins of mummies. where is it? we have discovered it yet, but we are expecting to find it by 2021. my fellow, archaeologists and i are working on this sucker is home to more than a dozen pyramids and burial sites. it was a cemetery for the ancient egyptian capital of memphis, and is now a unesco world heritage site. the finds will go on display at 4 museums,

including the granta gyptian museum, which is due to open next year. it's hoped the mummies will bring visitors for tourism sector left reeling by years of political unrest. and now the corona virus pandemic, and, or schapelle al-jazeera, past the hour, and these are the top stories gunmen of attacked, a bus in western ethiopia, killing at least 34 people. the ethiopian human rights commission says the number of dead is likely to rise no indication at the moment that this is linked to the conflict in the to great region. monitor has more on that bus attack in northern ethiopia. it happened in the.
