commitment to the human story, but it's also the idea of challenging those in power. if a politician comes on this channel, they will be challenged and that's what people expect of us. they want the questions and such that this will be the way. so that's what we will continue to ethiopia's to a great conflict spills over borders. attacks are launched on eritrea as more than 20000 feet to saddam again, i missed the attain. this is al jazeera live, and also coming up saying farewell armenians leave their homes and college off for the final time before azerbaijan takes control. after 80 years of discussion,
7:01 pm
asia pacific nations finally signed the world's largest free trade deal. and i think the secrets of sykora archeologists reveal an ancient treasure trove in egypt . mali began in ethiopia, where gunmen have killed at least $34.00 people in an attack on a passenger bus. it happened in the west. there's no indication who carried out the attack or if it's linked to the escalation crisis in the north. well, that conflict is threatening to destabilize the entire region. the leader of the region says his forces fired rockets into eritrea and he's threatening to carry out more attacks. it is the hope that those who attacked you great will not just attack and return home. we will retaliate while they are here and strike the airports from
7:02 pm
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. all the t. p.l.f. is now fighting both the eritrean and ethiopian government troops. if european prime minister says his country will achieve its goals on its own, he tweeted those who commit crimes against humanity and peace will be held accountable in while the un says the number of people fleeing violence into sudan has now risen to at least 20000 ethnic profiling and massacres have been reported. both sides are accused of atrocities on one of those in the city of gondor for us on the border of the tikrit region. this takes the conflict to a whole new level. it has spilled across the borders of ethiopia, and now another country or a traitor, is allowed to be sucked in. if you would go with the version that you have been trained, governments are given right now by the t.p.
7:03 pm
alive. how you, most of the past week maintained that they have been fighting divisions of eritreans army on the ground on to korean regional soil and saying eritrea was involved in the fighting from their own set. 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 small, as well as the long grave, long held grievances 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, 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,
7:04 pm
but the area is currently administered by the current p.l.f. 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 we mentioned in our correspondent have a morgan has more from hundreds of refugees continue to arrive here at the reception center. now this center is just about 2 kilometers away from the sudan. if you appear border in sudan, hundreds of refugees have been pouring in here in 200, a perception center with a number reaching up to 90000, 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 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
7:05 pm
infections as well as malaria and factions due to exhaustion from traveling for days, skipping the fighting in the to grow region. most of the refugees was hoping 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 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 expecting 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 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. now, the deadline for the 1st transfer of land between armenia and azerbaijan has now been postponed until november 25th. and so part of
7:06 pm
a deal to end fighting over nagorno-karabakh. now armenia is due to hand over the district of culled the 1st phase of withdrawal. many people set fire to their homes as they prepared to leave for the deal has been celebrated in azerbaijan. it's led to protests against armenian prime minister. they call passion. yeah. now armenian state security says it's foiled an assassination attempt on passion. yeah. police arrested the former head of state security and to others and is refusing to step down. well, our correspondent has more from the border of the couple districts that's being handed out 4 hours ago. this road was packed bumper to bumper with people fleeing with their belongings with their livestock. 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.
7:07 pm
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 were living there. now, the armenians who are left are heading towards iran, or heading towards other cities and towns in armenia, but was their future going to look like? is the big question? one guy told me that he felt that he was thrown on to destress and he didn't know how he was going to deal with that. what he's going to live with, 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 and he called people
7:08 pm
think that he has 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. are very different on the ground. some of them has been following developments for us from talk on. 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 ethnic 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 to be are very close to is we cannot access that area
7:09 pm
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, the border patrol force goes in and secure the border between gaza by jenin armenia and then they restored these areas. 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 indeed 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.,
7:10 pm
now u.s. president donald trump appears to have acknowledged for the 1st time that joe biden won the election while still making unsubstantiated claims of election fraud. some 20 said saying he won, he is that well, but because the election was rigged, trump went on to say that no vote watches or observers were allowed, continuing his for his for trains. now time put, go on to tweet again. this time saying biden only one in the eyes of the fake news media, she added that he concedes nothing. meanwhile, joe biden's chief of staff, has republican leaders to acknowledge the projected presence. he has not spoke with senator mcconnell about anything yet. we're hoping that senator mcconnell will accept the reality that is just the reality. joe biden won this election, come a harris win this election. and i think it's time for leaders in both parties to get to business of this transition to get to business of working together to start
7:11 pm
to plan out a legislative agenda for next year. and jordan this in washington d.c. with more on tom's tweets. it's worth pointing out that it doesn't matter, frankly, whether donald trump actually says he concedes or doesn't concede from a legal standpoint. because the u.s. constitution says that joe biden will be sworn in at noon on january 20th. and the president elect has, as of this count 306 electoral college votes, which is of far beyond the 270, needed to win the presidential election. from a practical standpoint, what matters is that the trumpet ministration has not authorized the funding for the biden transition team to run background checks to was 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 president elect is still like getting the runaround as
7:12 pm

7:14 pm
7:15 pm
hello there you're watching out there. let's remind you of our top stories here. the gunman have attacked a bus in western ethiopia, killing at least 34 people. pain human rights commission says that number killed is likely to rise. there's no indication it's linked to the conflict in the tikrit region, or the leader of te, various regions, has his forces launched a rocket attack on the airport and eritreans capital. as mara, ethiopian government troops began an offensive in 11 days ago. the deadline for the 1st transfer of land between armenia and azerbaijan has been postponed until november 25th. it's part of a deal to end the fighting of an i want to target. well, the world's biggest free trade deal has been signed 15 countries, including china and japan, are all part of the new regional comprehensive economic partnership. the bloc will

7:17 pm
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 for 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 in the future and new issues come up that need to be is going to be one of those times. and simply because i'm a member and of course, charmers largest member does charming, 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,
7:18 pm
and south korea. the deal falls short in some areas. member states weren't 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 louis al-jazeera kuala lumpur. now a federal judge in new york has restored deferred action for childhood arrivals, also known as dhaka and protect undocumented migrants brought to the u.s. as children. donald trump has tried to shut down duck us several times. courts have prevented that, but new applications were stopped. with this new ruling, the program is nearly fully operational again, meaning that new applicants can seek permission to stay. president elect joe biden says he plans to restore the program on his 1st day in office. he was vice president or member when barack obama started a comeback and 2012. well, earlier i spoke to leon fresco. he formerly worked in immigration at the u.s.
7:19 pm
department of justice under obama, and he says, this ruling will be helpful for president elect biden. certainly a relief for all of the hundreds of thousands of individuals that are covered by this program. because the constraints been placed on the program by child, well, the acting secretary of state secretary of homeland security meant that not only could the people in the program only be limited to applying for one here as opposed to years. we certainly created a lot of uncertainty every year as they have to renew it. but kids who had come in maybe where they were earlier in age, maybe ages 10 and 1112 who are now past a day. the who are not a lot of the allowed to reenter the program are not going to be allowed to enter the program since the only difference between them and the people that were already on the docket is just that their parents brought them out of that earlier age in this ruling and what makes it potentially a, that explosive ruling moving forward as we move into from
7:20 pm
a trumpet ministration into a biden administration. is that what it says is that the current acting secretary of homeland security chad wolf was not appointed properly. that his position as secretary of homeland security in our in november of 2019. and moreover, that the individual who appointed him and might believe it was a point that in april of 219 was also now point that properly. and the reason that's critical is because there are a lot of regulations that the administration has put in that would take years to on 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 29th team until the end of the trumpet. ministration is invalid because those secretaries of homeland security were not properly serving in their office. that basically gives a brand new blank slate to the biden administration when it starts and $21.00,
