6:00 pm
piece of power jolo. good to just you know. hello there. i'm a star, and this is the news hour live from our headquarters here in doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. the tigre, a conflict in ethiopia, spills across the border with attacks launched in eritrea. now tens of thousands of people seek refuge in sudan saying farewell. the unions leave their homes and jobs for the last time before azerbaijan takes control of the area. after 8 years of discussion, asia pacific nations finally signed the world's largest free trade deal and
6:01 pm
unearthing the secrets of sykora, archeologists reveal an ancient treasure trove in egypt and in sport. lewis hamilton is formula one world champion, agag. the brit won the turkish pretty to secure the title for a record equalling 7 time. well, it is now 1500 g.m.t. . that means it's 6 o'clock in the evening in ethiopia and gunmen have killed at least 34 people in the attack on a passenger bus in the west of the country. the number of dead is also likely to rise. there's no indication who carried out the attack or if it's linked to the escalating crisis and the north, which is now threatening to destabilize the entire region. the lead, a gray has confirmed his forces, launched rockets into eritrea, and he's threatening to carry out further attacks. because it was the hope of those
6:02 pm
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. oh, now the t.p.i. less is fighting both eritrean and ethiopian government forces, but ethiopian prime minster of the off med says his country will achieve its goals on its own. he tweeted that those who commit crimes against humanity and peace will be held accountable. and now the number of people fleeing violence into sudan has risen to at least 20000 that's according to the united nations. and there have also been reports of massacres and ethnic profiling. both sides are being accused of atrocities. but the home of the dough is on the ground for us in the city of gonda on the border of this takes the conflict to a whole new level. it has spilled across the borders of ethiopia. and now another country or a traitor,
6:03 pm
is allowed to be sucked in. if you would go with the version that ethiopia and eritrea and governments are giving right now, but the t.p. alive how you most of the past week maintained that they have been fighting divisions of eritreans army on the ground and regional soil and saying eritrea was involved in the fighting from the onset. of course, this is something that's been refuted by the advice of our government and also as matter with prime minister saying that they have enough capability to fight the operation on their own. but what we know is that the missiles landed in a smaller as well as the long grave, long held grievances of work against the t.t.l. of leadership and nothing to put a smile or a war. of course, there is that issue of the border between eritrea and ethiopia,
6:04 pm
which is also not the un border commission, had ruled the flashpoint town of but me to give in to eritrea. something prime minister is willing to do, but the area is currently administered by the current c.p.l. of administration. that governs and 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 train. as he mentioned, the number of refugees crossing keeps crying. i have a morgan has more from the sudan. hundreds of refugees continue to arrive here at the border 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
6:05 pm
shelter and no proper sanitation. and this is reason 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 and factions. due to exhaustion from traveling for days, skipping the fighting in the tigra region. most of the refugees with open to speak of the same horror saying that they have seen people being slaughtered, that they've seen aerial bombardment, which is made them fear for their lives and free here to sudan seeking safety and seeking humanitarian aid. now, medics say that they are quite concerned about the number of refugees and 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 if european and its calling out for the international aid organizations to help respond to what it's calling, it's turning out to be
6:06 pm
a refugee crisis. well, let's not speak to muster while today say she's an ethiopian joy and research, and she's also worked extensively with the ethiopian federal attorney general's office, and she joins us now from new york. must. i do want to start by focusing on these refugees. we've been saying more than 20000 have already fled. i expect given the trajectory of what we're seeing here, that's probably just the beginning. it doesn't look like just the beginning, but and like you say the past few days, i mean i'm president, that number of people have to just pack up and or just balance without ever thinking about returning home. and this is truly sort of concerning, started a conflict that was it not better than a very quick operation to take out the right must of all the camps that we're talking about in sudan. they want the best results to begin with. how are they coping now with this influx? that's the major concern that aid organizations are, are saying we're in
6:07 pm
a pen down makers. well if that's not a normal. so overflow refugees already with close to $20000.00, having both the border to sudan going to overwhelm the aid and the resources there . and also is going to create problems for existing refugees and properties of quality. existing 20 feet, which are already gets cut given the convent a situation that we're in. so it's a huge concern and i think with the political situation it will be hard to put an end to that will go into it. never. of course i know a number of groups as well operate on both sides of that border probe to p.l.f. . all those not do you think we could see a deterioration in the security situation right where people are trying to seek refuge? doesn't mean you're concerned that i lose hope. i'm pointing out. i think current going to conflict is between to keep your land, the federal troops, the federal defense forces, and to elect the air. tran,
6:08 pm
troops and militia, as well of their own heart. i mean, it's not working to some sort this, which is a regional thing need to grind as a huge thing in the current conflict because of its creative order. so it all the military will go into the fact that conflict will be hard, not seeing the violence, but the sort of place bent double. what the courts must by mind saying it's not just european refugees who are at risk. it also eritrean refugees inside gray that the un has said something like 9000000 people are at high risk in this era. and i believe there is on top of all of that. their say is that a swarm of desert locusts could also be on the way. can you describe the conditions here on the ground? many of those people. yes, i'm so glad it was so. number of every dream refugees and ordinary times of about
6:09 pm
96 times in every company into grice. so their services are seriously disrupted now because the credit crisis, but you can imagine if the conflict escalates into a full, long conflict between every crew. and if you look at the government, if you're going to one hand it to be let down on the other. every trip. also every transfer area and refugees will also be impacted by it. so their internal displacement, that this is point that has really created is going to be a huge obstacle for the i think nature. and i think for the larger conflict in her now this week and you have got crossed the already kind of been a huge concern and i am this year, reported that about 1000000 internally displaced in 2020 and major. there's a conflict. so migration to get prices, it's just one of the very thought i'd come up with affordable conflict last
6:10 pm
a while today, i say then in a way and research i know must be very difficult watching this unfold from another continent. thanks for your time. and joining us here in here, let's take a closer look at just what the t.p.s. main concerns are. they're worried that i'll be off meds. agenda may threaten the current federal arrangement which gives the take rate region at semi autonomous status. now on top of that, the team also wants more of a say in ethiopia's future relationship with neighboring eritrea to grains. also, i think that government has unfairly targeted them as part of a crackdown on past rights abuses. and corruption is they is a research associate for the african studies center at university of oxford. he says, it's difficult to predict just what's going to happen next. 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,
6:11 pm
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 since 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
6:12 pm
focus on escalation. well, there's plenty more ahead for you on this news hour, including donald trump, takes to again with more unsubstantiated claims of election fraud and heading to the polls again, moldovans votes in a presidential runoff that could change the future of the country in the sport. the 1st finalist has decided that this season's pakistan super league, will be here with a bit of a fast transfer of land between armenia and azerbaijan is taking place as part of a deal to end fighting over nagorno-karabakh media's handing over the district of cul de jour anger among people living that is so deep that many set fire to their homes as they prepared to leave while that deal has been celebrated by their is and as a by john, it's led to protests against a minion, prime minister,
6:13 pm
nicole passion, and now armenian state security says it's foiled an assassination attempt on passion. police arrested the former head of state security and 2 others and is refusing to step down despite, despite the widespread protests against him. well, let's take a closer look at these regions that are being handed over. the go to car back in red here is internationally recognized as a very territory, but has been held since 1904. so you can see it surrounded by disputed areas. now it is 6 weeks of fighting the as areas picked up the territories here in yellow, including are going to come back 2nd biggest city shusha as part of the cease fire deal amenia must hand over the cabbage or region to these areas today. and then the ag down region and the gaza district on friday. and then finally, on december 1st, the armenians will hand over the last chin district keeping only the latch and corridor a mountain pass that connects nagorno-karabakh and armenia as a by john gets a new corridor in the deal, giving back the access to its previous the isolated territory,
6:14 pm
the autonomous republic correspondent out of me. it has more from the border of the college, our district which is currently being handed over 34 hours ago. this road was packed bumper to bumper with people fleeing with their belongings, with their life stuck. we saw armenian forces also retreating, all this 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, early 1990, s. after azerbaijan lost that district. before that, that district was acting as
6:15 pm
a majority, as there is, were living there. now, the armenians who are left are heading towards iran, are heading towards other cities and towns in armenia about was their future. going to look like is the big question. one guy told me that he felt that he was being thrown onto the streets and he didn't know how he was going to deal with that. well, 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 prime minister nicole, but 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. as areas there's a different lead on the ground. some of binge of aid has been following developments for us from took on a it's
6:16 pm
a bittersweet moment for people here. they're very happy that they will be able to go back to their lands. 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 these armenians came from outside and they're looting and destroying what was in there. so yes it is a bittersweet moment for them to be are very close to is we cannot access that area from the 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 these areas? the russian peacekeepers are going to come in there, clear the area and then the other by johnny,
6:17 pm
the border patrol force goes and secure the border between gaza by john and armenia and then they restored these area bit by bit infrastructure infrastructure. we spoke to the landmine commission, they told us that this area is littered with mines and unexploded munitions 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 well,, u.s. president donald trump, appears president, has acknowledged for the sas time that joe biden won the election. but just in al, a say he made more unsubstantiated claims and election fraud from treated, saying he won because the election was rigged. trump went on to say that no one
6:18 pm
observers were allowed, continuing his unsubstantiated claims. trump would then go on to tweet again. this time saying biden only one in the eyes of the fake news media. he added that he, concedes nothing that's going on. and jordan in washington d.c., do you think this is really as close to a concession as way evan, likely to get from the president? i don't know whether it's fair to assume that the president is conceding anything, especially in light of the one of the last tweets he made before heading off to his golf course in northern virginia for a round of golf on sunday. it's worth pointing out that it doesn't matter, frankly, whether donald trump actually says he conceives or doesn't concede from a legal standpoint, because the u.s. constitution says that joe biden will be sworn in noon on january 20th, and the president elect has, as of this count, 306 electoral college votes,
6:19 pm
which is far beyond the $270.00, needed to win the presidential election from a practical standpoint. what matters is that the trumpet, ministration has not authorized the funding for the transition team to run background checks to set up offices in the federal agencies. so that they can start planning to run those agencies once joe biden is sworn in and they, the provided president elect is still lug, getting the run around as it were on getting daily national security briefings and intelligence briefings. so that he is aware of the security environment facing the united states before he officially takes office roslan jones and there for us in, washington. d.c. thanks so much miles. one of the wells biggest free trade deal has been signed covering nearly a 3rd of the world's population and economic activity 15 countries including china
6:20 pm
and japan, are now part of the regional comprehensive economic partnership. the united states is notable for its absence. for u.s. presence traditionally attend the summit, donald trump has kept it now for the 3rd year. it's been seen as a triumph for china. by far the biggest economy among the 2nd signatories, its position to increase its regional influence in the face of us isolationism, currently has more 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, into the agreement in their respective countries. the conclusion of the largest free trade agreement in the world will send a strong message that affirms as a leading role in supporting to multilateral trading system, creating
6:21 pm
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, but as things unfold over the future and new issues come up,
6:22 pm
that need to be handled is going to be one of those times. and simply because i'm a member and of course, charmers largest member does, i think charmin, a very influential position over the future development of trade in the region. this is also the 1st to 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 e-commerce. 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 italy al-jazeera kuala lumpur. now people in moldova, back at the ballot box for a presidential runoff, after no candidate won a majority in the 1st round. a contest pits pro russian incumbent, hugo dirt on against former leader. my son do you think is closer ties with europe
6:23 pm
found you finished ahead in the 1st round. well that's not going to sign a guy who is in moldova capital cushion now for us. so it does feel like today is very, it's a bit of a choice for vs really between east and west where that will be absolutely right. it's how this election really has been pitched and how moldova really sees its future, uncertain the near future and how it wants to progress from that almost hand. you have the incumbent ego to dawn, who has really sort of cleave quite strongly, to remaining on to russia's sphere of influence. he has also encouraged this whole ethos of being part of that sphere. and also in that sort of populist kind of way has or has raised some of those issues as well. while on the opposite you have my son do for prime minister has also worked at the world bank. she has a more pro western view. she cites the european model as being one that moldova can
6:24 pm
emulate. for her, she says the important things for the country to deal with really the rampant corruption that's taking place in the political imbalances as well and also to try and make moldova a place where many can continue to work and stay here because one of moldova's main issues is the fact that there is a complete brain drain, tens of thousands of moldovans, leave the country every year looking for work. and one of those issues as well as looking at how the diaspora can be tempted back here. so that i don't have to rely on emigrating to be able to have what they deem a quality of life that they believe is one that's acceptable for them something they want to model for us in moldova, thanks so much fun. now police and bella roofs have used stun grenades and tear gas to disperse anti-government protesters in the capital. minsk thousands came out amid renewed anger over the death of an activist and police custody. earlier this
6:25 pm
week, more than $100.00, people are reported to have been arrested for months now. thousands of people have protested each week demanding president alexander resign. now the 2nd major hurricane in less than 2 weeks is forcing people to evacuate their homes and several countries across central america. many have already fled in honduras, while evacuations have been announced in guatemala and nicaragua, thousands of people are still in shelters after a storm isa hit earlier this month. more than 200 people were killed. and further south floodwaters have forced people onto the roofs of their homes in colombia. heavy rain in the region is being attributed to the anemia weather pass and electricity and phone lines to many rural areas of also because well still ahead here on al-jazeera a u.s. federal court ruling makes big implications for undocumented migrants brought across the border as children a pandemic, a hurricane and,
6:26 pm
and demick violence. mexico struggles in the face of major crises. and find out who this boxing champion plans on fighting next. that story coming up. hallow the season has changed, particularly for the moment and you see the clouds sweeping in here. they were last night thunderstorms visible in gaza city and that rain about sherry stuff is on its way through nigeria, monday. it'll be ripping through both syria and iraq, and then concentrating its sherry base, the bottom end of it all in the gulf, which might mean want to shut down to bahrain, but more likely across in iran, you know, it is quite a strong wind down the red sea as well, which might come late in a few showers in the eastern side of sudan, or even djibouti. but major a in africa of course, is further south seasonally,
6:27 pm
it should be and just on the edge your screen is alysia in the indian ocean. tropical cyclone, which will stay over the waters, i suspect the g.'s, a big swell. now mom, along that line has been significant rain in northern madagascar, the more showers to come here as well. equally significant rain is 1st, far south as namibia, not on the coast. of course, you know, some of this goes and goes. but when talk shows seem likely on monday dome by tuesday and wednesday. similarly along the cape, you'll find rain inboard, wind, and weather as to winds meet on the eastern side of south africa, significant showers will grow once more jump into the stream. and julian on global community bio diversity is bio security . it is that essential for our species to survive. be part of the debate. i know
6:28 pm
you have my days and you too can be part of this conversation. when no topic is off the table, the police are not neutral and all of these cases here is to terrorize. and here's the other part of this. there's no consequence to this stream on out as they are the latest news for joe biden and family terrorist. the path ahead is as steep and as difficult as giving the incoming administration in us history with detailed coverage this week on the disputes that is helping to run to support base of the french and the turkish leaders. from around the world. many syrians live in this impoverished neighborhoods next to the 4th, where some of them used to work. again,
6:29 pm
you're watching out of there, and let's remind you of our top stories here. the salah gunmen have attacked a bus and western ethiopia, killing at least 34 people. think your opinion rights commission says bats number is likely to rise. there's no indication it's linked to the conflict in the northern tikrit region. meanwhile, the leader of the t.l.'s has confirmed his forces north to rocket attack on the airport in eritrea as capital asmara in european government forces began an offensive into great 11 days ago. the deadline for the fast transfer of lands between armenia and azerbaijan has been postponed until november 25th. it's part of a deal to end fighting over nagorno-karabakh. many people living in kabul jobs set fire to their homes as a federal judge in new york
6:30 pm
has restored deferred action for childhood arrivals, also known as dhaka. it protects undocumented migrants brought to the u.s. as children. donald trump has tried to shut down the program several times. court so prevented that, but he was able to stop new applications. now, with this ruling, the program is nearly fully operational again, meaning new applicants can seek permission to stay. president elect joe biden said he planned to restore data on his 1st day in office biden. as you remember as vice president, when barack obama started that program in 2012, when it speaks to the on fresco, he's a former deputy assistant attorney general in charge of immigration at the u.s. department of justice under the obama administration. you know,, joins us live from washington. d.c., thanks so much for being with us today on i am, i want to start by asking your reaction today. i imagine if you have a celebration already for both. well yes, it's certainly a relief for all of the hundreds of thousands of individuals that are covered by
6:31 pm
this program. because the constraints been placed in the program by judd was the acting secretary of state secretary of homeland security men. that not only could the people in the program only be limited to applying for one year as opposed to do years. we've certainly created a lot of uncertainty every year as they got to renew it. but kids who had come in maybe when they were earlier in a baby ages 10 and 1112 who are now kind of stage 18 who are not a lot of the allowed to reenter the program, are not going to be allowed to enter the program. so the only difference between them and the people that were already on dhaka is just that their parents brought them to that earlier age. of course, only on my understanding about this ruling though, is that even though it restores dac, it was actually about the succession of the department like people who were running the department. so you really, it's not specifically about to have that. yes. so correct what happened in this
6:32 pm
ruling and what makes it potentially a, that explosive ruling moving forward as we move into from a trumpet ministration into a bind of the ministration. is that what it says is that the current acting secretary of homeland security chad wolf was not a point that properly that his position as secretary of homeland security in november of 2019. and moreover, that the individual who appointed him kevin michael egan, who was appointed a neighbor of 2019, was also not a point that properly. and the reason that's critical is because there are a lot of regulations that the administration tries to put in that would take years to arm wind if you have to go through the formal rulemaking process. but it all a new president by that has to do is say everything that's been done since april of 29 team until the end of the trumpet ministration is invalid. because those secretaries of homeland security were not properly serving in their office. that
6:33 pm
brazenly gives a brand new blank slate to the biden administration. what it starts in january, 2021. that sounds very tidy indeed. but let me ask you then what could be the next live now from the trumpet ministration? at this stage, do they have to have the try at the time to try something? so the drug administration will appeal this to the 2nd circuit and see if they can get a ruling out of the 2nd circuit that will try to overturn this decision by the eastern district of new york. and then it may decide to appeal all debate lee to the supreme court. but if the supreme court actually rules that chad waltz, tenure was invalid, then there really isn't validating the entirety of this. it stops, it stops it from a, you know, speculative thing and turns of it to a completely real playing about would be majorly problematic. the one other thing about the administration could try to do is they're trying to now get chad will come firm to the homeland security position at the last mom of the congress before
6:34 pm
this congress leaves and drunk leaves and then try to get secretary wolf to sign a bunch of memos around to find all of the things that have been done in the past. but we'll see if that ends up happening because president drop is actually been wanting to fire people at the department of homeland security because they've been saying that the election has been properly handled, has not been rated with fraud. so this is quite the precarious situation as we speak, and the on i have to, we have you on at least have gone to the obama administration dealing with immigration. and during that time there were high numbers of deportations. and i know joe biden himself has called that a big mistake. do you have any regrets? well, absolutely. i think that at the end of the day, we were trying to enforce the immigration law in a way that would give that congress confidence that the immigration law would be enforced. so that, that way that congress would pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill that would take care of the people here
6:35 pm
without status and would create a lawful pathway so that america would never need illegal immigration system, illegal immigration again, because people could use illegal pathways. but what happened was, all of that enforcement led to no good faith with the republican congress. and so it was just in force meant for its own sake. it did not actually lead to the intended result, which was a, was a bipartisan immigration reform deal. and so i don't think anybody will be laboring under these circumstances that there will be good faith moving forward. and so i do think you'll see beginning it that has less the more patience starting from the 1st day. and you actually see 100 a moratorium at the beginning of the by the administration on any deportations. leon fresca that former deputy assistant attorney general who went to the u.s. department of justice. thanks so much for joining us from mount. is there any? thank you. now, brazil's president, by abol sanaa, is facing his fast political test since coming to power to yes,
6:36 pm
the country is facing a municipal elections which could prove to be a kind of referendum on his tenure often are, has been criticized for his response to this pandemic mechanic. have reports from rio de janeiro, even brazilians have a difficult time keeping track of so many means 19000 candidates are running for mayor and half a 1000000 for city council in more than 5000 cities. that's why some have adopted monikers to help them stand out. like john bailey, some pena, in admirer of u.s. president donald trump, in brazil's president jade balsam nando. he took on both their names. well, i'll sort of drop both a lot of that. the walsall and ira trump and bill sonando defend the values that i believe in church, family, and country. for the 1st time in history, more than half of the candidates are black. more than 30 percent are women, and there are 3 times more transsexuals running for office in 3 years ago. like
6:37 pm
a son and other students. the rise of that is populism central in whiteness. quickly as leading to a reaction by women, most people of color, the people who are feeling threatened or to be done are losing political ground to these new populist movements in so we can also see this new generation of activists in brazil. go into political office. recent polls show balsa not as popularity declining, mainly because the government reduced by half the 100000 dollar monthly emergency aid, which is being distributed since the beginning of the pandemic. oh show that both are not as candidates in brazil's main cities, like british unable bellowed his song in sao paulo could lose in the 1st or 2nd round that will be held on november 29th. but whatever the outcome, brazil still faces major problems. unemployment is at
6:38 pm
