international calls for mediation. as our media's prime minister resists growing public pressure to question his foreign minister has announced his resignation and a discovery from the ice age construction crews in mexico city on a mammoth collection of prehistoric creatures and sport. dustin johnson has won, in effect, a major title in his career, american climbing the masters with a new record breaking 4. there's been another step forward in the search for a vaccine for corona virus, which is killed more than $1300000.00 people all over the world. since the start of the year, u.s. pharmaceutical firm madonna says early results from chiles show its vaccine is 94.5

percent effective. present all from from a deal with the data back in august to purchase 100000000 doses of the drug once it was ready. but then it is the 2nd candidate with a chance of getting approval. pfizer announced last week that its vaccine was 90 percent effective. in late stage trial, it's promising news as infections continue to climb. the u.s. now has more than 11000000 confirmed cases. that's the highest in the world. well we have to keep covering this developing story in a few moments we'll cross to london and neve banca who is standing by for us there . let's begin with our white house correspondent kimberly whole kit in washington d.c. . so give me it is really exciting news, isn't it from the done, which i believe is based and message choose. it's really capping off a good few days for american vaccine researches. there's no question that this white house is celebrating. this news saying that this is evidence that the efforts put in place, months ago from operation warp speed are now having an impact. the white house

press secretary kelly mcenaney talking about this on social media and also dr. anthony found she the top infectious disease specialist making the rounds on the television networks this morning, saying that in fact, when it comes to this vaccine, it's as good as it gets. but well, this certainly has shown to be promising in clinical trials. the question is distribution still needed to get out to the most vulnerable populations. this white house saying that it hopes to have that on track for the middle or end of december to the most vulnerable people. this would include the elderly as well as those with a compromise systems. as you mentioned there, kimberly is vaccine research was funded as part of president trump's operation was speed as, as it was known. but how might donald trump's refusal to concede the president see a fix the coronavirus response going forward even with the fix? yeah, well this is certainly a challenge and this is what the critics not only health experts,

but some members of the president's own republican party are fearful of. now the u.s. president on twitter has been talking about this, and many would argue he is politicizing the release of this vaccine. he said on twitter in just the last hour or so. another back. just announce this time by madonna, 95 percent effective for those great historians. please remember that these great discoveries which will end the china plague all took place on my watch. now. the us president also has been tweeting rather regularly in recent days and for a while now that he won the election and is expecting to challenge or overturn the results of the election. he says and have another term. now, this is something that is being challenged, of course, by his rival, joe biden. in fact, his transition team saying that there is a real challenge right now with respect to addressing covert 19, given the fact that the infections are rising in the united states as of friday, 184000 deaths rising in 31 states a new lock down measures being put in place,

so the challenge for all of this is this transition which is not yet officially underway, despite the precedent that there be a concession by the president who for the last 60 years appears to have lost the election. that is not happening by donald trump. and this many health experts say is however, in the effort, not only to get this vaccine out, but also to deal with rising infections in the united states. ok, thank you for that. can they help at the line of the white house for us? let's go now to london and and the british prime minister johnson is isolation again coming into contact, i guess, again with someone who is positive with coronavirus, but insisting that he is function fit. yes, he is insisting that despite all the chipper seemingly limitless badami,

the prime minister boris johnson is trying to show on social media. none of that can really detract from the awkwardness of the situation. he's been forced to beat a hasty retreat all the way up stairs to his apartment above number 10 downing street where he will remain in isolation until at least next thursday, running the country essentially over zoom for the 2nd time in 7 months because of course, back in april, he got the virus a full blown virus and ended up in intensive care. the reason for this precaution is because he spent 35 minutes in the presence of a mother, conservative m.p. lady anderson last week, and he later ended up testing positive for corona virus. with out of that least 4 other conservative m.p.'s or also self isolating as a precaution. and this is absolutely terrible timing for the prime minister because he is meant to be energizing his role after the departure of 2 key advisers

including dominic cummings, he left rather hastily last friday. he's the brains behind breaks at the mastermind behind the vote. leave johnson is trying to show the country and the world that he can do things alone. and there's an awful lot lined up this week, including the e.u. summit on thursday. the government here still not able to forge ahead with the deal . presumably all of this will have to be dealt with remotely. according to mark hancock, the health secretary, the prime minister, is full of beans. we can only interpret top of that to mean full of energy rather than something possibly not. thank you for that. in fact, i live in london. ok, let's speak to dr. sparrow who is in geneva. she is from the eichen school of medicine at mt sinai hospital. thank you for your time. how exciting and i guess on usual, is it with this vaccine news that the vaccine is, is 94.5 percent effective?

well, it depends on how 5 percent or 9 percent. and the mind can get the dreaded $399.00 fives. and it's ben tested the course that we're going to have announced these, but what it means, and what he said is that it is 95 percent effective in preventing disease. now, we always look to your back as, as weapons of mass, the ration as i do our prayers as a symbol, but it, you know, that's going to stop quoted because it will stop. could they now are preventing disease? it's not the same, has stopped. and there is no evidence that any of these back stop screamed and embraced by them again, acknowledge that maybe so it wasn't very exciting that the challenge of making the right you have been met and goodness knows we absolutely need it in there, but you're anybody's, it's killed 1200000 people and is america is the best thing we know we'll have it prevent, you know,

only been sampling doctors and either but as we see behind you. but if these, which can be set at, i'm highly lethal disease. but at the same time it's, we have no evidence yet that it's going to stop transmission. given that it's as easy as brain silently, you know, and rapidly and in the same transmission is silent. and i think i'm, as i think we have yet to knowing that about that. and that's quite apart from that, he just will not grant trying to distribute investment, need to be kept at minus 80 degrees celsius. but yet members get that back. say, you know, it's not magazine the kick, the vets nation is the act of getting it to somebody, not just once, but twice. and so, you know, we must get in place and we need to stay where we need to drag terrorists, which can have a complementary and banked to bring down predators. the only

now starting to see the release of the 4 week. ok, so i guess you are a word of caution even with this, this news about this vaccine, as you say, because the issue of transmission not necessarily being addressed. i guess the reason that i think people our excited when they hear about a vaccine is they go, oh ok. maybe at some point i can see when life might get back to normal. when i can hug my friends again. when i can go out for dinner. you know, all of these things which are not normal anymore. i mean, what is your sense of a timeline for that? if you were to put one, well, i think the exaggerate always would be you know, where the exit, where he said, drake makes abreaction put our minds to it their age. a lot of time, we can say that we actually get spread to his brain again,

body could have probably been under control in time for christmas if yet he wanted, because we know that he doesn't, as there was every day, then we would be out is that i had to take control of our lives again. i think that what you're really asking is like, when you will be out in just a bit, i mean it's kind of had control of our lives. again, you don't have go back to school, going to see our favorite, i guess, you know, good at the theater when we had to get ready that, you know, we have a global betting the magic age again that because we're going, i am back to jump and testing that not the only answer. so we have to put a band together really, you know that you know, together with repetitious together with masks, again, with everything we can think of. so that we're not just going to be shut down at the knock downs, which are going to be meant as a way to go quietly. going to say you're very happy. so, you know, when you want to do yet, would meet weeks, we could actually have permanently, if we'd agree in a way to end. and i'm sure we actually see how we're going to get things rolled out . and you know, as operation walk,

feed it mean the dentist that are doing this will be days by you know, discovery and so we've seen this bit, we think is going to be done. is great with things you know we're going to see 6 bet another mattia the next. as opposed to the going to work it's big. i guess is part of a part of the little isn't it? thank you so much. that doctor from geneva. i do more ahead on the news hour, including as the number of calls at $900.00 cases grows across the united states. thousands lined up for free foods just to survive. if israel gives another green light to build more illegal, said the homes of an occupied west bank and in sport. rafael nadal is aiming to one of the few titles missing from his collection, piracy, with that story to

the crisis in northern ethiopia. now the government is sending reinforcements to the rest of to great region despite international calls to mediation. al-jazeera has filmed a convoy of troops heading to the front line, where fighting is now in its 13th day. that's all we have an exclusive report from the government base that was attacked by 2 grand forces and which sparked the crisis to graze leaders have called on the u.n. and the african union to condemn ethiopia's offensive. uganda's president, mitt ethiopian ministers and negotiations. the ethiopian government says uganda, want to play any mediation role, and as the crisis continues, thousands more people of fleeing into neighboring saddam. in a moment we'll have a report on the humanitarian crisis. but 1st mohamed, it does, begins our coverage from the city of gold out on the border of the tick region. there is no letup in the fighting between the few appears. national defense forces and bad mistrust of the to great region. and no funny, theo, people here in the city on the ground are where we are. we've seen buses full of

troops as well as vehicles carrying food and medical supplies headed towards the border. them out of eden, ha's with a to great region. we've been told they are enforcement for the troops and government troops who are already engaged in the fighting, which is now at 12 with the to great people's liberation front. the government has been claiming huge victories and in the past 24 hours have said they have taken over the town of mata and say, now they have their sights on mckillop a couple of the region. this is of course something that has been constantly denied by the to great administration. it's leader, the brazilian government kyle has been speaking in the past few hours and he has called on the united nations and the african union to condemn what he calls attacks on civilians by the ethiopian national defense forces. including the use of drones,

something that's been denied by addis ababa in the past few days. the people's liberation from tough taken the war to a new level, using missiles, not just against towns like where we also bought the couple of the region where they targeted the airports. but i've also sent missiles across the border to us model something diplomats say, could drop him at a train and make this war international. well, as i mentioned, the conflict began after an attack on a federal military base integrate province by regional t.l.a. forces officer as he got exclusive access to that. thanks. and we are now inside the northern military base, located into great region in northern ethiopia. it was the attack here which sparked current clashes between the federal government forces and the 2 great people's liberation from this military base. the largest in ethiopia, houses massive military gear, chiefly tanks,

simply because it has been for 2 decades. the epicenter of ethiopia's war against every trailer. according to the federal army, p.l.f. fighters launched an offensive in an attempt to seize the base along with the weaponry and here they were met with fierce resistance. and as a result, this base has recently witnessed ferocious fighting, marik, but here will be a big moment in the wake of these developments. if you know piers pm avia declared war against city p.l.f. on november 4th, saying that their assault on the base crossed the red line, the end had to go and that her son was a northern military base. great province. so salacious on the fighting has turned out to have been morgan, who has more for us from don. that's near the ethiopian border with more on the humanitarian crisis. after walking for 5 days in my matthew has finally reached

he escaped fighting in his hometown of home in ethiopia, stigler a region. he's exhausted and hungry. when the fighting started and people are being killed, i left everything behind in flight. i walked for days and became weak, but i had to continue. now i'm suffering from fatigue and i've been diagnosed with malaria. go to my is one of more than 20000. people who fled to sudan seeking safety. some have chest infections, raising concerns that they may be infected with the coronavirus. the refugees include pregnant women, like i'm listed behind it, and a better way back in their america where when the bombardment started, i took my children and ran. even though i'm pregnant, i carried one on my back and one on my arm. and i started running away without a sense of direction until i arrived at the river and crossed into sudan. i have not had food for days and my girl is hurting, even though i've got a month before giving birth. the reception center here at home day it has one

health clinic, but lacks proper medical equipment. doctors say more and more patients are arriving every day. we get wounded people because of explosive materials, like grenades, gunshots and fractures. some people have diabetes. we try to handle the cases we can, but where we card, we were further to the county hospital. but we are quite concerned about the possibility of spread of communicable diseases amongst refugees, because they're all close together in a small space. sudan aspiring to transfer people here to another camp. those at least who are well enough to move, but more refugees are expected. and the pressure on this clinic will remain morgan al-jazeera, how date need to sudan if you'll be a border? well, it's a representative of the un refugee agency in ethiopia. she joins us now on skype from. thank you for your time. so there's a communications blackout right now, is there no final or internet? so obviously it's very difficult to get up to the minute information from too great

. but what's the latest you're hearing about what's happening on the ground? well, during the conflict remains very active today, we had a report from our colleagues in their office in mcnally that they witnessed an airstrike. not far from them. there remains a blackout of electricity, water, internet, but hut. somehow the things we were able to communicate with them this morning, but things remain very, very dismal and they're afraid and people are moving constantly. ok so, so an airstrike coming in? that's obviously really concerning news. can you tell us more about that with who was targeted casualties, anything like that. we don't know what the targets and we don't know who was a, who was targeted. of course, as i said, we have intimate and communication with colleagues when they do get access to internet at the office. but still we know that everybody was very deadly afraid.

and civilians of course, started moving in right away. let's talk about that. as we heard from across one of their earlier so many people fleeing across the border into sudan. even before this conflict, i think 1600000 people had to grow were receiving some sort of assistance. i mean, how concerned are you for those people in that region? we're very concerned about the people who depend daily on food assistance, cash transfers from the government and all sorts of humanitarian assistance among those pocket that population. there are 100000 refugees and asylum seekers who live in 4 camps and we provide for them health care food. the world food program. unicef helps us with looking after the children. children have just gone back to school after the court made a prevented us from having classes for over 6 months. so it's really a day, a situation for women and for children, for disabled persons. and it's quite

a desperate situation, really, very concerned that we don't have access at this point is rejecting mediation efforts and calls from the, the u.n. for de-escalation. how concerned are you that this could become a protracted conflict? our estimates and from the analysis, this situation could continue for 3 to 6 months, at least. and as needless to say, we're very concerned about the people, not only the refugees, the internally displaced persons, but also that if you're in that region who are depending on ford assistance and other forms of humanitarian assistance all the time, we're really very, very worried. ok, thank you so much for your time. and our cantera representative. the of the u.n. refugee agency in ethiopia. media's foreign minister has

resigned the most significant political casualty since the deal to hand of the parts of the corner cut a buck was signed. but the prime minister is refusing to back down his 1st address since the deal with azerbaijan. he says he takes full responsibility for the loss of territory. he's faced protests and outrage about the concessions that he made. russian peacekeepers have now been deployed in areas where land is being handed over to azerbaijan. 2000 soldiers will monitor the region for at least 5 years. ethnic armenians have burned buildings and destroyed facilities as they left john district as aires and set to return there. after being forced out by armenia in the, early 1990, s., it's going up there now from what i read in the armenian capital. yes. on. tell us more about the foreign minister's resignation. well, only heard is actually from has spokesperson,

who posted on social media. the lecture that the foreign minister gave to prime minister pression un. and actually it was a handwritten letter, very short basically say thank you for working with you, but i am not doing that anymore. now the background to that according to the spokesperson, is that he didn't agree with prime minister question and said extraordinary session of parliament. that session was only with his party because the opposition refused to attend that session, simply because resignation and talk about resignation was not on the table. well, during the session, the prime minister said that the fate of shushi, or call it where had always been part of the negotiations between the 2 countries over the past 20 years, where the spokesperson of the foreign minister said that that was absolutely not true. so that you can see that prime minister,

but she tries to get himself out of trouble. he gets even more in deep water. there has been, as you've been reporting a lot of anger about the way that this conflict ended about the concessions that are media made. is that still the case? yes, this is that is absolutely still the case because actually i mean is don't know how big the toll of this war is in the sense that this handing over territory is still happening. was supposed to be handed over yesterday. well that the not happens. it because of logistical problems on the ground, simply because it is the only road that will lead to the armenian held territory in nagorno-karabakh. and then you have the issue of all these missing soldiers,

according to the prime minister. hundreds of them. people here think that that is much, that number is much bigger actually. we were earlier in front of the defense ministry and they were family members who are extremely angry, angry. they're not willing to speak to any reporter. and but off camera they told us they said we've been coming here every day. we have no clue about the fate of our children. and we don't even know if we will ever see them back. so you have that going on. and then you have the fact that we've been focusing a lot on the fact 7 districts that had been occupied by our armenia. so we're due to return to azerbaijan. but then armenia has lost also a chunk of land, a kori door in the south of the country, along the border with iran. that would be a road that will link as a bridge and to another un clave called next year, which is an area held on clay. so all of that put all of that together, people are extremely anger. they feel they have been cheated. that for 6 weeks they

heard that the war was going very well for, i mean, yes. and then in less than 12 hours, all of that, all of that has changed. thank you so much for that update their whole life from the well for as there is the mood is very different. some of the reports from this family celebrating the return of the jar to other by john this is the region, is there my full crispe for the women of the moment but also gets upset, looking at what is happening there. many armenians are burning homes and schools as they hand over the region in an alley this woman did among the houses a burnt in my village. my heart nearly exploded with grief when i see the treachery and betrayal. why you come to our furnished houses. they did not belong to you.

during the war with armenia over nagorno-karabakh that ended in 1904. their child was a soldier in other by john's army. and his people were forced to leave college are he remembers how hundreds died during the exhibit tens of thousands of people pass through this road. it was so cold or so many people standing who were frozen because with frozen bodies. so many people suffered amputations because of the frost. the government has extended the deadline for combatants to leave college or by 10 days. the israeli army is fortifying its positions, but says it will wait until russian peacekeepers ensure armenian fighters have gone . right now. it is not our task force on a 1000000 to leave all this. you know, the syrian regions. that's task of peacekeeping troops. that's why they moved in, and it is their task. we will ask them. that's our backup plan, which are a short of sticky. she's kept for decades,

a reminder she says for occupiers finally left. after waiting for nearly 3 decades, the people of college are eager to return. but with so much still pending, including the role of the peacekeepers, the clearance operation, and rebuilding of infrastructure. it could perhaps take months or even years before they can return home down to syria, donna, still ahead on al-jazeera called of a chooses its next leader, and another battle between supporters of the european union, russia. at a, just few hours time, president elect joe biden will unveil his plan to revive the nation's economy, ravaged by the growing of ours pandemic. and it's course, the atlantic president is in tokyo, and i'll take the stance of detained next to use some of gangs hear from him later in the program.

how the weather set fire across southern parts of the arabian peninsula, but still slightly different story further north, but more cloud here outs of turkey pushing across the caucasus, to northern parts of iran. so some showers right once again coming through here. notice the possibility of wanted to shout across northern sections of the gulf. i suspect here in qatar will stay dry temperatures getting up to 34 celsius on shoes day a little cool, little fresh, 28 degrees as we go on into the states should, as i say, stay in a spot or 2 is right, but not too much, quite a keen way to lift the dust in the sand. certainly a possibility. it is dry elsewhere across syria potentially dry to cause part of the the horn of africa. the wet weather is further south. big across central parts of africa as they should do, the seasonal rains. continuing unabated, the short run is continuing their into southern parts of kenya,

pushing into were tanzania, quite a bit of wet weather there too. across much of angola, sliding down through both want to into central and eastern parts of south africa. more showers coming in here. as we go on through wednesday, should stay dry in mozambique wanted to showers that to the north, and there's just a few showers cropping up. but again, one of the most wanted men on the planet, steve masterminded a $4500000000.00 fraud and want to put him in jail. but you cannot help being in the past. al-jazeera reveals never before heard recordings implicating some of the world's most powerful players. every one poster would benefit by the abuse of power and corruption, jolo, and for a fugitive on a just to drive their industrial expansion and european powers colonised

u.s. are under growing pressure to provide for rising numbers of people being forced into poverty by the pandemic. the us is the worst effect the nation in the world, with a 1000000 cases added in just the last 6 days. well, at a korean is a senior director of marketing and communications at the north texas food bank. she joins us now on skype from dallas, texas. thank you so much for your time. looking at these images, literally thousands of people lining up for food. i mean, sans that, the modern era cars, these are depression era scenes tell us about the scale of the need that you'll see . yeah, well, the event that we heard in fair park, texas was humbling to say the least. we, as you mentioned, distributed a large amount of food and we, this is actually the largest distribution we've ever had in north texas food bank history. so the need is very, very great. and you know, the food bank, not only do we have these kinds of distributions,

but we have hundreds of partners across north texas, better distribution food. and each one of them has reported a significant uptick in terms of the needs of folks that are coming through there. doris, looking for that food assistance, many of whom are doing so for the 1st time. and tell us about the stories that you and your team herring from people who, who are coming for help. as you said, you know, people there are asking for help for the very 1st time. is this directly coded related or what are people telling? well, i am, i had a great honor, an opportunity to meet with a few folks that were waiting in line. and you know, one person actually parked their car at fair park at 10 o'clock the night prior to make sure that they were there in line. and ready for this event, and that just tells me that if, if somebody is willing to do that, that the need is great. and one of the folks that i met with a gentleman by the name of manual, he told me that he is disabled. and that happened prior to cover 1000. but his wife

was able bodied and working, but she lost her job to the pandemic. he has 6 children at home, and he said that because we were able to provide him with the cherokee and other holiday food that it was going to replace the pasta meal spaghetti that their family was going to have for thanksgiving. so he was truly grateful. and hearing stories like that and we heard many are, is just heartbreaking because it shows that, you know, there are a lot of people they want to work. but because of the pandemic, they're losing hours maybe getting laid off from their job, especially those in the service industry. so it really shows that there is a lot of people of that need this assistance and we're just proud to be able to provide arms. i had so many dedicated partners that made that event happen. i don't know what to get political. so i want to put it this way. how does it make you feel when, when you go out and do this job for people who need the help and you see the need that is out there on the streets? how does it make you feel about the state of your state and the state of america

right now when you see these massive lines of people lining up to be able to eat? i say humbling. iraq saddened but also hopeful. i think that there are many, many people that need help, but there are just as many people that want to give that kind of help. and we always say that hunger is a nonpartisan issue. both sides of the aisle come together to meet the need to help our fellow neighbors. and that's the case here in north texas. i mean, you know, when this pandemic started, we really had no idea what was going to happen in terms of donations support, things like that. but people have come together to meet the need. and we've heard so many generous donors that want to support this issue because they know that, you know, this really could be anybody, anybody could be impacted by hunger. and, you know, we serve 13 counties here in north texas. and every single one of those zip codes that we serve has people that are food insecure,

which means that they don't know where their next meal will come from. so i'm sad, but i'm also hopeful. ok, thank you so much for your time and our and for the work that you're doing and a korean there from the north texas food bank. and you, u.s. president elect joe biden has had to lay out his economic plan in just a few hours time. biden is promising to rebuild some of the damage caused by the coronavirus pandemic. the economy has already shell, showed signs rather of bouncing back in the 3rd quarter, but still has not recovered to prepare demick levels. ok, let's get more now from. how does your castro live in wilmington, in the u.s. state of delaware? that's where joe biden is meeting with his transition team. heidi, so the news of the vaccine that's come out today from madonna and also from pfizer of the past few days. i mean, this must change the game

a little bit when it comes to the economic forecast. what are we likely to hear from joe biden? that's right in about 3 hours time, we're expecting the president elect to the and baling his economic plan in a live press briefing here from wilmington. but the question isn't so much what he wants. we know that biden has sided with the democrats, pre-election desire to have a massive economic rescue plan. once again, out of congress totaling some $1.00 trillion dollars of money going direct payments to american households, as well as bailouts, to local governments that are really going bankrupt in their coronavirus response. but that is what joe biden wants to get it, though. there's a lot of unknowns, of course. democrats do not control the senate, and there are 2 runoff elections in georgia that are teeing up for january that will really determine whether or not democrats could seize control of that house if

that they do. that's a huge if then biden yes, would have the political roadmap to push through a massive relief bill, but that's far down the road. that's it. a few months time. and the big question is, can the economy sustain the pressure that it's under, with growing hospitalizations in the united states with more than a 1000000 cases added just in the last week and deaths approaching 250000. people alone in the u.s. and economists are very worried that the games we have experienced with the some 3000000 jobs created in the last 3 months, which of course was good news that could all very dramatically be reversed and that in fact, the u.s. economy could dip even more into decline than it had been in the early spring. so the question then is whether joe biden would accept a more small relief package passed by this lame duck session of congress. of course,

republicans control the senate democrats control the house of representatives, perhaps that all a compromise could be reached because of course, the timeline is very short and congress economists are saying congress needs to take swift action. a little bit is better than nothing at all. and they're saying this action needs to be done as soon as possible. ok, thank you for that update there. how does your castro live from wilmington, delaware talks about libya's future have ended without an agreement on who will form an interim government. the un's acting and voice is a lot more work needs to be done. both sides of agreed to hold nationwide elections in december next year. israel's ministry of housing has approved permits to build all the 1000 illegals that the homes in the occupied west. bank of the bills have a settlement, palestinian say, cuts them off from east jerusalem. the houses are considered illegal under

international force. it explains an unusual move by e.u. diplomats designed to send a message to israel's government. driving in convoy to a piece of internationally recognized palestinian territory, turned away by right wing israeli settler activists. a 2nd group made it to the summit of what israel calls give out how much toss to a similar reception you and you certainly get. israel has long planned to build a settlement here in contravention of international law. that like a final puzzle piece would connect other settlements between bethlehem and jerusalem and sever a vital territorial link of a future palestinian state. the e.u. is demanding a reversal of israel's decision to issue tenders for the construction work on 1257 homes. just days before prime minister netanyahu hosts the us secretary of state, and bahrain's, foreign minister, you e.u., and back again, have cited the location agreement in order to stop an extension. it was explicitly

stated by the present of both countries. right now here is a defacto annexation attempt, and that cannot go on, or we come back to this patch of land again now it's quieted to explore exactly why it's at the heart of this issue. if israel did build an illegal settlement here, it would cut off bethlehem from the palestinian neighborhood of occupied east jerusalem beit, suffer just over the brow of this hill, entirely isolating it behind illegal israeli settlements. it would also separate bethlehem from the rest of occupied east jerusalem beyond those buildings. and so that is why the e.u. why the p.a. is arguing that it would really jeopardize the territorial integrity of a future palestinian state. the other issue is the timing coming just ahead of the inauguration of president elect joe biden. in january when he was here as a vice president in 2010, there was a major incident when a new settlement enterprise was announced. it was a major rupture between the obama administration and that of benjamin netanyahu. it

looks like things are being set up to cause another such rupture even ahead of joe biden, taking office moldova's election incumbent president goes on, says he will concede defeat if the courts find no problems with the poll. with most votes counted, pro european challenger is projected to win. moscow says it hopes to establish a working relationship with stand. the election was viewed as a choice between close relations with russia or with the european union. let's go live now to sunny. discuss the latest on the election results. was pretty much definitive now. what needs to happen is that the central election committee is going to go through it. i will give the official results on friday underlining the results that we know so far. but it's basically my assan do as having a resoundingly victory really above the incumbent. president igor dawn,

she has overall about 57 percent to 7.7 percent of the votes compared with the go to the not 42.3 percent. but it's really quite interesting to notice the difference in the vote between the moldovans living here in the country and those who are living abroad. for example, my assigned to hear the majority of 51 percent that is quite, she just about managed to scrape through that. however, if you look at how broad she got about 93 percent of the votes, so it really is interesting to see how moldovans you've had to leave their country in search of other opportunities of viewing exactly where they think opportunities lie. and for them, they are more in line with my sundays vision of perhaps following more of the little of the european union have more pro western friendly approach to this,

as well as focusing on the economy as compared to equal the dawn firmly once pulled over to remain within russia's spear of influence. and despite the fact that my a sunday was quite optimistic, she still understands that there are quite tough challenges ahead for her. the modern people prove they can unite around the good people in their own right objectives for the country. now the most difficult part comes, it was not easy to win this election as it's going to be more difficult to implement the commitments that i've made. but i know we have a lot of good people who are going to help. we have a very strong team. yes, we have all the terms together. now while you go down the has conceded that he has not won this time around, he is still trying to state that the actual facts of

vote rigging. the issue of that he's making claims, but that still hasn't been really replicated by any other organization as such already quite a few regional leaders including who to get their congratulations to do. but she acknowledges that the most to challenge that she has to tackle is, containing the coronavirus pandemic. and the economy crisis that accompanies it. those are the 2 things which are really going to be problematic and certainly a tough start to her presidency. ok, thank you for those on you gave a go rather live from the number of people to have died from the worst time for the philippines this year. as our climb to 67 strong vanco brought heavy rain and triggered severe flooding across the main island of luzon. last week, rescue teams have been sent to the worst have thanks says where hundreds of thousands of people are in need of food and shelter. space x.

fauna that once thrived here just in this area, we recently found a tooth fragment belonging to a saber tooth tiger that may have broken off during an encounter with a mammoth restoration and cataloguing is tedious. work and a delicate touch is crucial. the bones are quite brittle after spending several millennia under the dirt. a chemical solution is sprayed to help preserve the integrity of every fragment, no matter how small load this center has been working at this dig site for 3 months . today, she's carefully piecing together a pelvic bone that once belonged to an american camel load. this is one of dozens of restoration workers who have been specially trained for this massive archaeological project for many here, it's a once in a lifetime experience that i've been making. i think that if and if i never imagined i would be doing something like this. welcome with bones. when i go home, my family always asks what we discovered today. it's

a very cool experience. the 1st discoveries at this site were made last year when construction workers broke ground for a new airport at a military base just outside mexico city. today, a 1st of its kind partnership between scientists and the mexican military has led to the cataloguing of hundreds of individual specimens of have mismarked, the model that accredited to the military high command has instructed us to provide all the support of us to get those in need we supply resources like laser scanners land surveys, drone flights? anything that's needed for the study a year on there are now 230 digs, sites just like this one. and the team say there's still plenty more to find. as you can see, we are completely surrounded by the bones of ice age mammals just in this area alone, where we're standing. there are at least 2 sets of mammoth tusks, but there's also the remains of giants, lots, saber, tooth tigers, and many other species that have been extinct for thousands of years. once

a specimen has been cleaned, catalogued and reinforced, it's prepared for transport. scientists and government officials say the plan is to showcase the assembled skeletons at a museum inside the mexican capital's newest airport. scheduled for completion in 2022. manila below al jazeera mexico city. ken, thanks so much. that's when johnson is the new masters champion, the american put in a record breaking performance to sell his 1st ever title at a gas that with a 5 stroke victory. somehow it reports the world, number one, and now the owner of the famous green jacket only modest champion forget to wear. what's more, dustin johnson had just won his 2nd major title with a record breaking low school growing of so close to here. you know, it's always been, you know, a term of, you know, since i've been on tour, you know,
