mental activist and inspired artists, and a voice for the plight of countless migrants might use the handing back land, armenia relinquishes the district of to azerbaijan, after controlling it for almost 30 years. i'm not matheson, this is all to save a life from doha. also coming up, a recount in georgia, confirms joe biden's when in this state after donald trump contest the results. mexico takes a step closer to legalizing marijuana and becoming the largest legal market for the drug. and we look at how fighting in northern ethiopia is having an impact on

children who've been escaping the conflict. is it a army says it's enters ag down a district that's been under a minium control for nearly 30 years. it's one of 3 areas that armenia has had to hand back as part of a cease fire deal. both countries signed the agreement to end 6 weeks of fighting over not going to cut a buck. russia helped broker the truce and has peacekeeping forces on hand to oversee the transfer. medians are angry about giving up the land. they've been protesting to demand that their prime minister, resigns, or some a binge of aid has more from near. we've heard from the ministry of defense that a very forces have moved into the 2nd ghost town and an area which is almost the size of new gorn a car bomb that is being handed over. so around to go in a car about there were 7 regions,

3 of them under this deal are going to be handed back over to the there by journey military. the russian peacekeepers, they're going to be there. and one of the generals of the very army has told us that it is they are going to make sure that there are no fighters left in these areas as they are handed over. and as you saw in physically, it is more or less the same scenes here in the areas that i've been under the armenian control, i've largely deserted this place was one of the most populated areas in all of new go in the car about almost 200000 people used to live here, and all of them became displaced into her by john. we've been speaking to many who want to return to, but they say that the area is not safe. the government has to make sure that all of the armenian fighters are gone. infrastructure is rebuild the areas cleared of mind and exploded munitions so that people can go back and rebuild their lives. u.s.

president elect joe biden has been declared the winner in the state of georgia for a 2nd time after a hand recount the ballots for or does it matter president donald trump's campaign question the results and claim the widespread fraud with georgia now called biden has extended his lead and won the presidency with 306 electoral college votes needed 270 donald trump fell short with 232 biden, is the 1st democratic presidential candidate to win georgia in nearly 3 decades. well, donald tom's legal team has, once again promised to produce evidence of what it's calling a massive democratic conspiracy to steal the presidential election. joe biden has accused trump of being irresponsible for refusing to concede. alan fischer reports from washington. there's no sign from his legal team that donald trump is preparing to concede. in fact, they're digging in for a long legal battle, even though almost all the court actions until know, have been dismissed. know,

claiming without producing any evidence, there's been a democratic and international conspiracy to steal the presidential election. this is real. it is not made up. it is not. there's nobody here that engages in fantasies. i've tried a 100 cases, a prosecutor, some of the most dangerous criminals in the world. i no crimes, i can smell them. you don't have to smell this one. i can prove it. 18 different ways. donald trump's own election security agency declared the 2020 presidential election. the most secured in american history, the president has both taken credit for that and declared the democrats stall the election. he also fired the head of the agency, one of his lawyers, baselessly claims. there's been communist interference in the election. what we're really dealing with here and uncovering more about the day is the massive influence of communist money through venezuela, cuba and likely china,

and the interference with our elections here in the united states. the term campaign says it intends to file a number of lawsuits in a number of states in the coming days. yet in the lawsuits filed so far, it has stopped short of claiming widespread voter fraud and it's produced no evidence of the conspiracy claims it's making no. while the legal battles go on the trumpet, ministration continues to block transition planning. president elect joe biden's, frustration is growing and said donald trump is sending a terrible message about democracy. it is hard to fathom how this man thinks it's hard to fathom. and i'm confident he knows he has one that's not going to be able to. we're going to be sworn in in january 20th, and i just, you know, for, for me to question is, motive is just outrageous. what he's doing with new states reporting widespread issues. the term campaign's efforts to prove fraud seem doomed to fail,

but it could delay final confirmation of trump's acceptance of what seems inevitable. alan fischer at the white house, robinson woodburn's is an assistant professor of political science at how would you know, versity? he says chum's refusal to concede is being seen as an attempt to coop. the certification process is working as it always has georgia, for example, a state which had a hand recount at the president's campaign for qwest, found that there was no irregularity, and not a significant change in biden's lead and will certify tomorrow. the secretary of state and the governor who are jointly responsible for certification have signaled that they're going to certify the president is again, escalating and seeking more and more desperate means to challenge this. he has a number of legal recourses of dubious constitutionality. one thing that is

important to recognize though is that the president is contesting or attempting to retain power in a way that contravenes the normal rules for elections. again, this is the 59th presidential election. and one thing to note is that the president is simply not accepting the normal rules. he is trying to undermine those rules or dismantle them in order to retain power. some political scientists are starting to call this an attempted coup, and while it's almost certain to fail, it's just ripping to know that the republican party today in a tweet stood behind the president's claims. again, if this is to some degree, unprecedented in the history of american democracy, the warring parties in a few hope is to a region have exchanged rocket fire with both sides, accusing each other of putting civilians in danger. you see the rebels have been accused of bombing a neighboring region, and the government has been blamed for an airstrike on a university. the united nations children's, asians is warning that the more than 2000000 young people need help over 30000

people have fled to saddam. as he will, more than reports from god that if states near the border with ethiopia just 2 weeks ago, what he did saturday was preparing for her sunday now is operation. he was born with a cleft lip, which has affected his ability to drink milk and along with it his health. but just days before they were due to return to the capital of, if europe is not integrated region, the situation changed dramatically when we were due to go back for his last check up before the operation, the fighting started, all the roads were blocked and we couldn't get to macquarie, people were being killed and there were bombs being dropped, so i fled with him and my family. now we can't even get a doctor to check on him. we can't even get him his vaccination, let alone have hope. you'll get an operation here. the family now resides at this refugee camp in a fresh, a guy in sudan of state. there more than 15000,

if you can refugees here in what was once a largely uninhabited area. thousands more. if you have fled to neighboring state to escape the fighting into. great. but it to hell are you on her 2 children are some of them. her infant son has been suffering from breathing problems and she says she's been struggling to get him the care he needs. he has one block nostril and doesn't feed except from a bottle. but i don't have formula for him because weeks fighting ethiopian came here. and the health care center doesn't have formula. so i have to go looking around for that. but i don't know where i'll get the money from. the camp has only one health center to cater for the thousands of children here. mothers wait for their turn to have their children seen by doctors. many children exposed to the horrors of conflict in the 1st years of their lives. according to unicef, 40 percent of the refugees arriving in sudan are children. some have been separated from their families and the process of tracking them has started. others have

arrived with malnutrition because of the days they spent walking with no food and all have been affected by the conflict integrate in a way that will likely impact their childhood. the un's children's agency says that chris tricked it access, and the ongoing communication blackout in the tigre region has left an estimated 2300000 children in need of humanitarian assistance. and as more and more refugees arrive in sudan, there's rising concern over their future. remember, this is the time school started, children will actually miss this year's school. and most of those children we saw yesterday come there are school age. unfortunately, they will not have school this year. so we have to actually come up with alternative and programs already within the next month or 2. we're hoping the crisis will stop, the fighting will stop. there will be able to go back home. but if that's not the case, we have to be in place to support them. what do you do says she hopes the conflict ends soon so that she can return back home with her family. she says she wants her child to be operated on, but more importantly,

wants him to grow up with no memories of the horror that's forced her and her family to leave their lives behind and seek refuge here in sudan. people, morgan al-jazeera and fresh account of out of state, still ahead and al jazeera what the security crisis in booking a fossil could mean for thousands of voters in the upcoming elections. we are just human and we also have this horse in our lives. a difficult pill to swallow for nurses in the philippines desperate to work abroad. but hello from northern europe, the weather has been up and down. mild and cold. aziz bigelow's blood from atlantic though the ones on its way now usually brings rain with it. what snow, of course, increasingly hard, and particularly in sweden as gradually things are going to get colder and that's

true throughout the plain of europe as well. temperatures now at best single figures by data that's cold, it should be certainly a shock because it's uses winter. the stilson snow to be seen that line through to, through ukraine to kiev. because up towards moscow, that's not the 1st snowfall in moscow, but it's been a fairly rapid change. as this cold air comes over the central med that has developed into a storm system, it's doing that again. the same time may have noticed london's warmed up, the winds increased, and we got snow on the coast of norway, but it's sunshine for most the rest. now, increasingly for march talks become a problem again, but not here has a very strong wind dying blow down to the road that's potentially damaging. the burra blows across croatia, the christian coast domination coast that's potentially damaging because of its strength. and then the circulation sits here, so throws off big thunderstorms into italy, the smaller runs, well ahead size. so on saturday, it restyled to affect tunisia, but still heavy rains likely in italy.

but to jump into the stream and to lean on global community bio diversity is biosecurity. it is that essential for our species to survive? be part of the debate. i know 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 goal here is to terrorize. and here's the other part of this. there's no consequence, this stream on out is they are heard

you're watching out to see a reminder of our top stories this hour. azerbaijan's army says it centers act down a district that's been under a mini in control for almost 13 years. i mean, it is handing over the area as part of a cease fire deal to end weeks of fighting over there on a car by u.s. president elect. joe biden has been confirmed as the official winner in the state of georgia. after a recount president, i'm still refuses to recognize biden's victory move. the biden says, is totally irresponsible. the warring sides in ethiopia's to great region have exchanged rocket fire with both sides, accusing each other of putting civilians in danger. the un is children's agencies warning more than 2000000. young people need help. the un's acting libya envoy has told security council members, he's a mistake that peace made be achievable. it comes after rival sides met in tunis here last week. how diplomatic editor james bays looks at the many challenges

libyans face after a decade of war. this is the 1st security council meeting since developments in libya that the u.n. say may be a breakthrough. a fragile cease fire is now in place. and the talks in tunis, we've seen the beginnings of a peace deal, the supposed to lead to elections in about 2 years time. i am optimistic about the way forward in libya, yet fear i felt for many challenges that lie ahead. 10 years of war cannot be solved one week of political talks. we hear more now the language of peace rather than the language of war. for the sake of libya, 75 libyans came together in tunis last week in good faith effort, the process of healing their nation. but do a search from the, the respected international crisis group, who's follow developments in libya during its last decade of conflict. says the

very many challenges ahead should not be underestimated. heightened by the fact that now we're not seeing open conflict. not entirely optimistic that we've seen the end. devastating destruction or self destruction of the country by the hands of the libyans themselves. it's too early to say that when their country will come out of this enormous economic recession, whether they'll be able to go beyond ideological debates that still cut through the country. the problems are among the libyans. there's been no agreement on the new prime minister or a unified presidency council, as proposed by the u.n. . the country remains divided. the prime minister in tripoli fires also. raj has indicated he's prepared to stand down in ben garcia generationally for hafter has

made no such pledge. and there's the big issue of foreign involvement under the cease fire deal on libyan forces is supposed to leave the country but early next year. if you are hopeful that will be achieved under the deal that's been done, the u.n. is supposed to provide more knitters to be deployed in libya to observe the cease fire that will need a u.n. security council agreement. negotiations are likely to be difficult. one member of the council, a permanent member of russia, has nationals in libya, working for wagner. what many consider a mercenary company that's been fighting on the side of general haftar? james pays out 0. at the united nations, mexico's senate has overwhelmingly approved a bill to make it illegal to use modern juana. the legislation still needs to pass through congress, but the votes are seen as the 1st serious attempt to legal is cannabis in a country that's become notorious for its drug war to home and has more makes cars

been grappling for years with how to regulate this it's been illegal for decades while the war against drugs has raged. now, a new law approved by the senate, which still has to go through congress, proposes legalizing production and consumption with quite a lot of restrictions. i don't would be able to buy up to 28 grams of pole and cultivate full plants for personal use. it could also be imported an export it with a license. this grower, now producing illegally is cool to mystic. if you have a few other folks here. so i decided to grow because i'm a consumer 1st, and i think that right now the conditions in which marijuana is produced and distributed in our country is very violent and very corrupt. and that's the key question. legalizing marijuana, if it makes cars, cartels and gangs who currently run the business the common consensus is no

kind of his production is just a small part of their portfolio which also includes meth, then to new cocaine and other rackets like extortion. have a look at this, these kind of these plants are actually being grown right in front of makes kerry, senate by marijuana activists who are trying to raise awareness with what's going on. and they have another big question, and it's these core communities in the rural hills of mexico that currently grow their crop for the narcos. now get the chance to go legal and on paper under this law, it seems like they will because 40 percent of the licenses to grow marijuana in the 1st 5 years that legalization are reserved for them. but in practice, things could work differently in the mountains and the risk that if you, as a local peasant princeton say i will only produce the only now i want to make a living in this and legal terms that you will not get away with. because there is

frank power off, organized crime with groups in those areas. and the most likely scenario is unfortunately, that if you have a new look at your market coming into play, that they will try and probably succeed in getting their hands on. the new proceeds on the new profits the fear of marijuana activists is that the law will actually only help international corporations get into the mix car market. and so to richer urban consumers. while elsewhere the street could have business continues as normal. but in a socially conservative country, really talk of drug legalization is deeply controversial to senators. and because it's hope this could be the start of change. john, home and its crew city. mexico has become the 4th country to have more than 100000. people die from covert 19,

but health officials fear the true figure is much higher human rights groups say more medical workers have died in mexico than in any other country. elaters, a locked in a budget standoff that's jeopardizing a multi-billion dollar coronavirus relief package. they held a virtual summit on thursday after poland and hungary vetoed the proposal. this week, officials are anxious to approve the 7 year budget to help e.u. economies recover from the pandemic. nurses in the philippines are angry about a government ruling that prevents them from taking jobs overseas. they say medical workers have the right to pursue other opportunities abroad, but the government says they must. so the country. during the pandemic, jamelle island organ reports from manila, gary gary, the admits working as a nurse in manila feels like a struggle for survival. for more than 10 years. he's earned around $400.00 a month and this is barely enough to support his family. gary has been accepted to

work as a nurse in ireland for $6000.00 a month, a salary that is unimaginable to earn here. the philippine government in april barred nurses and other medical workers from leaving saying they were needed to fight the growing a virus crisis, told me working abroad is not make us any less of a patriotic citizen of this country. for me, it is actually a hero. weak act, we are just human and we also have this goals in over lives. the salary here is not to sustain the needs of our families. gary is among the thousands of filipino nurses who have called themselves prison nurses. they started an online campaign to petition the government to reverse its decision. they say it is tantamount to forced servitude. filipino nurse says, as some of the most sought after health workers in the world. but this type, this

a global study shows that nurses in the philippines receive one of the lowest salaries in southeast asia. the pandemic has highlighted the plight of nurses in the country. and i mean, nurses, there's now an average of one nurse to 200 patients. if the government wants to really improve the situation here, they need to hire thousands of nurses in government hospitals. some are nurses who now work in different industries like call centers because these jobs simply pay better. and there's a circling for the chapel band to be removed and for salaries of all the nurses in the country to be raised. but the philippine government is defending its decision. it says about 75 percent of cities and towns across the tide. she lacked health workers and it needs to keep the current pool of health workers. here during a pandemic, health workers tell us no one wants to leave their home country. if there are fair opportunities for all. and most of them had to borrow money or sell their land in

order to afford to go abroad. now deep in debt, they see the government stance is denying them the opportunity to have a better life. jim duggan al-jazeera manila, a number of workers in sweden's mink industry have tested positive for covert 19 and that's leading to fears that the animals could be spreading. a mutated strain of the virus neighboring denmark says a mutated strain from its main farms is known likely to have been destroyed. it made the announcement after ordering a nationwide call of the animals. 6 more european countries are reported to new infections from mink farms. millions of voters in brooklyn, a faso will head to the polls on sunday, but activists say ongoing violence is going to make it difficult for the country's 6000000 registered voters to cast their ballots. even if they wanted to reports far too much of the and have family fled the village or 2 after

a night attacked by gunmen. although the family was lucky to make it to a good to good life. many other villages did not. the mother of 4 says she fled without identity documents and without them would get a say in the elections. i don't have a birth certificate and don't know how to get one. i need to get a new national identity card which will allow me to receive my voter card. i won't be able to vote on sunday because there's nothing that proves i'm from burkina faso . she's one of hundreds of thousands of broken obvious who have lost voting rights because of the violence sweeping across the west african nation. attacks by armed groups in 2015 marked the beginning of a violent campaign by al qaeda isilon. their feeling that has so far killed thousands and displaced more than a 1000000. people in particular, activists say about 1600 communities have been uprooted because of the attacks

against civilians. and breaking of us the security forces. it's a difficult situation, it's complicated and it's the 1st time in our history this many people will be disenfranchised. but it's the reality not because they don't want to vote, but simply because they count more than 400000. new voters could be added to the register this year because of the violence and widespread displacement. the elections commission has already given up on conduct in the polls and hundreds of villages across the country. back at the shelter for the delos far too much as only one wish that whoever becomes president after sunday's vote will end the violence so that they can go back to build their lives. not an impossible dream, but like millions of other victims of the violence sweeping the sahara region of west africa, the family may have to wait a bit longer to see this dream come true. my

see settlements as israeli territory. u.s. administration is not biased towards the occupation. it's a partner in the occupation. we've seen it all before. his visit didn't surprises at all. posted photos of his tour on his twitter feed saying he hoped not to be the last u.s. secretary of state to make such a visit. the view from the palestinian side very different. the city of albury is home to a large number of jewel us palestinian citizens, whom the settlement of sangatte is their stolen land. i can't even get close to the settlement would be i'll be putting myself and anybody around me and physical harm . since the seventy's, as my family got to visit their own land for all the controversy attached to this visit by my pompei o to the settlement, and for all this, talk about a possible 2nd trump administration. this visit to israel has had the atmosphere of something of a goodbye tour and that was the taxable in the statement that he and the israeli

prime minister benjamin netanyahu gave in jerusalem. the 2 men went over a litany of trumpet chief ment's on behalf of israel was eager to show that the world had not yet dried up, but we will regard the globe or any israel b.d.s. campaign is anti sematic. i know this sounds simple to you, mr. prime minister, it seems like a statement of fact, but i want to know that we will immediately take steps to identify organizations that engage in hateful b.d.s. kinder can withdraw our us government support. the boycott divestment and sanctions movement rebutted the accusation saying it rejected anti jewish racism, ended his tour in the golan heights, considered occupied land under international law, but sovereign israeli territory by u.s. administration. that continues to make radical shifts on mideast policy with just 2 months left in its term. sorry for sit in the occupied west bank. protesters in colombia are marking one years since large anti-government demonstrations there.
