dear, the usa is always open for the people all over the world. people pay attention to walk you through here. now does it is very good to bring in the news to the world from here. this is al jazeera hello, i'm so raman. you're watching the al-jazeera news, our life, my headquarters in doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes, sudan prepares for an influx of more refugees from ethiopia. the un's child agency warns that it could be overwhelmed out on bail ugandan popstar turned opposition leader bobby wine is released from custody. as the death toll from protests continues to mount and armenia relinquishes land to azerbaijan and a cease fire agreement after controlling it for almost 30 years. also,

mexico takes a step closer to legalizing marijuana and becoming the largest legal market for the drug. and with the sports, including the rafa nadal, which is the last for athlete acb finals for the 1st time in 5 years. welcome to the news. the united nations has called on ethiopia's warring sides to stop fighting immediately. so aid can come in and refugee safe zones can be set up . the government launched an offensive into grey region 2 weeks ago. both sides accuse each other of killing civilians in air strikes and indiscriminate attacks. now the un's refugee agency says it's preparing for as many as $200000.00 people to seek refuge in sudan. so far more than 30000 have fled humanitarian workers. the

millions of children are at risk, and refugees are in serious danger of an outbreak of disease. well, have a morgan joins me now live from and state in sudan near the ethiopian border of the been following events very closely for us. the influx of refugees, as we said, does continue. and the numbers seem to be increasing in terms of those that are looking for help. yes, indeed. spoken to the sudanese commission of refugees and they say that at least quiet hundreds have come into this camp here near the border near this today. and, if you're a border, and there's just up until about 12 g.m.t., the final tally that the commission usually takes comes around $15.00 to $16.00 g.m.t. . they say because as the hours progress and as the sun cooled down, they started gathering more people from farms. people who were fleeing across the border and rather than coming through to the end point, they got lost and it's farms that surround the area. and so they were brought by the military and by the sudanese authorities. they say that the number of 500 just

here in this camp alone is just the beginning of the tally that they've been taking since morning. and they say that they expect that number to double by the end of the day. and this is just here. there is another border point, a border reception point in the neighboring state, of course. and that's also been expecting a receiving rather hundreds and hundreds of refugees where a day now the united nations high commission for refugees says that's up to 2000 refugees arriving every day. they say that at this point they were expecting about 20000 refugees, but that number has reached 33000. meanwhile, the sudanese commission of refugees say that the number is actually closer to 40000 . and they've been calling on the international community to bring more aid to those. this place, and they say that the number will likely rise up until up to 250000 in the coming weeks to few months. of course, you can see behind you the beginnings of a, perhaps a well planned operation. and that's the real issue now is trying to get the right in to help the people that need it before an outbreak of disease starts.

yes, indeed. now the united nations world food program has started delivering aid along with the united nations commission for refugees. and the united nations children's agency, the world food program says that it has put in stock a supply of supply here in the camps. and they say that it's enough for about 60000 people. but that's, of course, if the numbers stay stagnant as it is, but that's not what's happening. that's not what we've seen. we see an influx of refugees. we see the numbers rising by the thousands every day. and so people here are concerned that this aid will not suffice for a month. and we've spoken to the world food program representatives here just a few hours ago. and they say that they're trying to bring in more aid. but then the logistics and the infrastructure of the country means that there's only so much they can bring per day, but they're trying to stock up as much as possible, expecting, obviously an influx of refugees expecting more refugees because they say they don't know what's happening on the other side of the border and that they should always

expect for higher numbers. obviously the biggest people who have been infected impacted by this conflict are our children, which the united nations children's agencies, are more than 40 percent of the people who have been flowing in many of them suffering from diseases due to the days of tyranny. just 2 weeks ago, while he 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 if i should go in sudan of state, there are 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, integrate. 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 me 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 arriving, sudan is rising concern over their future. remember, this is the time school started, children will actually miss this year's school. and most of the 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 or 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 of out of state. so mcconnell is the heard of the u.n. office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs in southern and eastern africa, joins me now via skype from nairobi. good to have you with us, miss connell, on the program. i mean, what's the situation on the ground as your personnel see it right now? so inside of the fear, as you know, it's incredibly difficult to verify information, but we are gravely concerned for the plight of civilians who are inside of tikrit who have now been subjected to more than 2 weeks of fighting. and we are concerned that we will continue to see more displacement of those fleeing the country as well as of those who are fleeing to find safer places within 2 gray itself. speaking to

our correspondent who are you may have just heard a short time ago, she talked about not just hundreds, but thousands of people arriving at to sort of reception border areas in sudan. what sort of numbers are you allocating at the moment or planning for our initial planning figures to hell with 20000 people and that has already been fast. it passed, as you heard that as of today, there are at least 33000 people who've arrived into sudan. so we are now looking at a planning figure of up to 200000 people. and the reason why we've risen at that high is because we need to prepare. as you heard, the people arriving into sudan are arriving into extremely remote areas where there's very limited infrastructure and we have to mobilize a full scale response. so we're planning up to a figure of 200000 people to make sure that we can put in place the supplies in the services that people are arriving after that long and exhausting journey so desperately need. but when we talk about infrastructure and getting it in place,

what type of infrastructure are you talking about? so you heard the challenges of the health center, the local health center that's being overwhelmed. so we're talking about health services. we're talking about making sure that we have the systems in place to deliver food to all of these people who are arriving. that is hot meals that are being provided. there are water systems that are being put in place, but we need to do much, much more to cope with the scale of the influx. how much is covert? 19 a consideration. considering recent reports suggest that it's now on the increase across africa. obviously the focal point for us here in this conversation is sudar coded 19 is of course a consent. and as you said, we have seen in recent weeks an increase in the number of countries across the region. so we will be doing absolutely everything that we can in the response, if it to ensure that we're protecting the people who are arriving from coke at 19 in the way that we respond to the crisis. and in the way that we distribute aid a bit, it's something that we're going to have to factor in and deal with as we move forward

in this incredibly fast paced response to hail. it's not just the organization that has to respond. it's the sudanese government to how well coordinated is that effort between aid agencies like yourself and the government in khartoum. so every single day as you heard from here, but there are ongoing conversations between the aid organizations who are on the, ground led by the refugee agency for the u.n., with the government of sudan to make sure that we are joined up in the planning to make sure that we mobilize as rapidly as possible the assistance and the support that these people so desperately need from a caller from the u.n. office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs. thanks for joining us from nairobi. thank you for having me. so how you can an opposition politician, bobby weiner has been released on bail after being charged over actions likely to spread to corona. virus. officials have accused the presidential candidate of violating covert 19 restrictions or campaigning for the upcoming poll. at least 28

people were killed during protests by his arrest on wednesday. let's get more on this from our correspondent michael ware. watching this developing situation from nairobi in neighboring kenya, we were expecting that court appearance. and what seems to have happened as he said, he was charged with offenses that relate to the risk of spreading. the coronavirus is the presidential election campaigns began just over a week ago, has repeatedly drawn crowds that are much larger than the limit of $200.00 people that were specified by the ministry of health and the electoral commission. now the authorities say that this is a massive health risk from all the wind supporters say that the efforts to stop these events going ahead simply every direction on their right to hold their political activities. an attempt by the government to try and cover up how popular bobby wine actually is. now for other opposition,

candidates have suspended their campaigns in protest against the arrest in the charging of the wind. and we thought we were in possibly facing ongoing court proceedings in the weeks ahead. we don't know what this is going to mean for the campaigns, but this election is nearly always just on the 2 months away. so that would still otherwise be quite a lot of campaigning and rallies to be held. we're waiting to find out if they're going to be allowed to go ahead. or if other opposition candidates are actually going to visit their campaigns. and of course, the death toll does continue to rise in the wake of his arrest on the disturbances that have followed. what's the latest you're hearing about that? the police spokesperson said when speaking to the browns, just a short while later today that the number of people killed was 28. but a place pathologist, speaking to a news agency, said that there's actually 37 bodies that he has counted since in related to the

protests in the unrest that began on wednesday. after what we were, i was arrested in the east where he was campaigning. news of that he's particularly popular among young people, particularly popular in towns and cities in urban areas. uganda, the capital is the biggest city, many of his supporters out on to the streets. that's what prompted the crackdown by police and soldiers. now in that press conference, the police spokesperson said that no police had been ordered or instructed to shoot at people. but that does contradict some of the things that we've seen in videos, at least, we don't know because to the orders, but there are plenty of videos circulating on social media where police and soldiers are seen firing weapons towards people. we don't know if that's with metal bullets or rubber coated bullets, but the gun, the red cross did report least a dozen gunshot wounds in the number of injured people that they picked up for the moment. for the update,

thanks very much from nairobi. plenty more ahead here on the al-jazeera news hour, including why these protesters in south africa are rallying against a school in cape town. where doubletons transfer, overturning the election result near 0. his lawyers resort to increasingly wild claims. and new zealand's prime minister draws the women's rugby team against some of their faces, rivals as they prepare to defend the world cup travel, host exams in sport. army says it has entered a district that's been under armenian control for almost 30 years. it's one of 3 areas that armenia has to hand back as part of a cease fire reached. just over a week ago. russia helped broker the truce and has peacekeeping forces on hand to

oversee the transfer. armenians angry about giving up the land and have been protesting to demand their prime minister. resign as a by john in armenia, sign the agreement to end 6 weeks of fighting over nagorno-karabakh. well, let's take a closer look at the regions being handed over that region alone. is nearly the size of the disputed nagorno-karabakh region. armenia must hand over 2 more areas in the coming weeks, including the held by jar region on november, the 25th. on december, the 1st it will have to hand over the last chin district, and that includes the important code or connecting the corner, got a back to armenia, that is now under the control of russian peacekeepers. azerbaijan will keep all its territorial gains, including the corner of arc 2nd city shusha. some of binge of it has more from a down. we've been told that that is exactly the same as what we, what we saw in physically which was a ghost town just to give you an idea of where we are. these are actually the

trenches on top of which we're standing for about 30 years. this is the area which the is very army, was using to go back to the dude go towards the front lines and we're just a few 100 meters away from the defacto border, which has existed for about 27 years and about 10 kilometers away from the town center where we've seen some social media pictures of the azeri army moving in and taking control of large parts of the city again, which was a ghost town. so adam was one of the most populated areas in the gorn, a car about one of the 7 regions around nagorno-karabakh, which were taken by the area by the armenian army in 1903, when they moved in. and it was about 10 percent of all of the rajon territory. so now it is being handed over people. we've been meeting on the street on the way to the border, waving their flags coming out in support and asking us, has somebody been to the other side? has somebody been to their mosques or somebody seen their homes?

so there's a lot of anticipation here because people want to go back, they've been living away as i.d.p.'s, and they now want to return to their homes. but it is not going to be easy or quick, because the military has been telling us that all of this area is littered with an exploded munitions and landmines. and this is a very troops begin retaking land. many armenians are packing up and leaving the area, hala abdul, hamid has more from luncheon. there are very few people here at the moment we've bathed, we've barely seen any civilians. we've seen some of the armenians who had stayed here to defend their area. you probably see behind me, there's also the russian peacekeepers. they've been deploying mass. we've seen huge convoys of them along the road. now they're lachine district, is the last one handed over. it was actually the 1st one to be captured by the armenians back in the early 1990 s. simply because it is the lifeline. now gorno karabakh of the is this one road that

goes all the way from armenia, from gori, is the border town all the way to stay by my character. and that one is going to stay open for axis and only civilian armenian civilians. and it will be under the protection of the russian peacekeepers. that's one of the reasons why i held by john another district, a bit further north from here on the western flank of nagorno-karabakh was delayed in the handover simply because at the moment this road is not ready yet because it goes very closely to or near the town of shushan now in azerbaijani control. so a very complicated situation and even though this town specifically, he would stay in the hands of the armenians simply because it's along that road. well, the few we spoke to said they didn't trust. they would be safe being clashes outside a south african high school where people are protesting against racism. the

demonstrators accuse the establishment of discriminating against black students. guns was used outside the cape town school, which allegedly held a graduation event, but only white pupils and teachers attended. the school did always there since the function was private for me to matter how small from near the school in cape town. a number of members about 2000 of them in fact tried to move closer to the school. you see behind me there now behind a police barricade, but to keep them back. police once again, quiet tear gas and stun grenades. to use water cannon. to prevent these protesters from approaching the school, they say only $500.00 protesters are a would be allowed through. and the size, reese, which is why we see this police barricade in the heavy police presence. protesters here have in fact been quite peaceful. and they've also accused police of being

heavy handed. they're also apart from targeting the school, they're also angry with police saying that they're racist and they wouldn't respond in the same manner to white protesters or if marches were white, it wouldn't be the same scenario. so people here are angry. now timothy the target is bracken file high school, which they accuse of racism. this goes back to a function that was how the year in function for final year students, once the official trance and interview function was canceled by the school. because of covert 19 restrictions, it appears as if students had their own private function. this is what the school is saying. but there are black students at the school who say they've been discriminated against. and none of them were invited to this function. they weren't allowed to attend. we've also heard a number of former and prison students say that this goes back years, and this is a school with has been a lack of integration, a lack of black teachers. and there's

a greater problem of racism at the school. a school that has rules were admitted that some work has to be done in that they're now listening to hope that students feel well. it's big to devore moving. he's the southern africa director at human rights watch, joins me now via skype from london. good to have you with us on the program. i mean, sometimes we can do a situation and think it's been blown out of all proportion from your understanding of what's happened at this particular school, or what conclusions are you drawing? what is clear that there was an incident, we were excluded from a graduation ceremony. and what needs to happen is for this sort of to be looked at it to lead into an independent investigation into exactly what happened. but you need to be saw on its must establish what happened and ensure that the north incident or this in that followed it. it

when we talk of south africa it's and it's long history of racial injustice. it's obviously a very sensitive subject as you said. and that we thought that might have been resolved after the end of apartheid. but the issue of race and racial injustice continues to simmer. why? partly? because remains deeply due to and some of the of this issues today have not been resolved. what happened was that may not be true ended in 1904, but the healing process is far from being being complete so that you need for the record to continue to do more. and also in schools or private spaces in public. the need for more action to ensure in television and healing, so that these deep seated divisions,

address divisions and also elements of hope that it would not be resolved to this day. and your eggs or continued segregation should not be tolerated. it is, it is bizarre and the fact that the rainbow nation has not been able to reconcile, white and black communities, considering the a.n.c., which is a majority. black political party has actually been in charge of government for nigh on beryl 3 decades. you think they would have sorted this by a now what will certainly much more remains to be done and that the group will put down by the truth and reconciliation commission. it ended up in 1904 behaviors. it did not go far enough in ensuring accountability. there was truth telling, but not so much about accountability and ensuring that the divisions the inequalities are, is of over one thing or so that you need court in c.

and other political parties that are quick of a 2 to christians very seriously. in the attempt that required to be chicken, to even make it truly a rainbow nation in which just really there are obviously deep seated problems. i just bring in one particular case that happened in 2016, a white man called brandon huntley was granted asylum in canada based on an argument that whites were disproportionately affected by crime in south africa sort of slightly based on the race issue that ignited debate around equality and fairness, and that all south africans were affected by crime, discrimination, or injustice, so, so to with white, black and indian communities, feeling aggrieved at any point in time. one wonders how this is ever going to get solved. we're going to look at it should use in don't think that ensuring that no one will live in

or that you know that out or minority groups, including the way to minority know that majority government. but it means that it's a lot of who are not just for the government, but for the communities themselves. also, it needs not to pick the thames over to the thames or to them was legal. and you need to focus on doing that sort of we'll see what does happen. it's always good to get your input today. nothing from human rights watch. thanks for joining us from london, sir. thank you. thank you. tom for the weather. now here's rob the winter months in northern india on the tories for providing a stable environment with this sort of thing happens, particularly in new delhi ecology goes down and down and down in

a city like new delhi, which is large and full of traffic. you get this sort of thing that doesn't look too bad on this camera shot, but if you take the measurement, i'm afraid it is. this is only about an hour ago when it was 219 parts per 1000000 of this size, prasco 2.5 marker means you can't see it. obviously that is contributed to by traffic, mainly very unhealthy air condition. you get what most of this is hazardous? 300 possibly we had that couple of days ago, but 4 or 5 days ago we clean the air out briefly because weather came through for afghanistan, the former west, the way it turned the air up over northern pakistan, over the northwest of india. and briefly things got better. unfortunately, the next one through isn't really showing up very much so called is not going prove active whether or not far away the little late in the season is massive. cloud in the arabian sea shows some signs of circulation. and i think what it will do is turn into a proper tropical depression preview for

a lot of rain for secada on saturday. and then for the whole of africa on sunday both still have hail the news. as americans prepare for a traditional thanksgiving holiday feast. more and more people find themselves lining up for food and 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 . and we'll hear from champion skier michela, tryphena. she prepares to race for the 1st time in 300 days. that story coming up in sport with you, joe. so she's mental disease because 50 percent of all debts children

but lacks a bad childhood education that she used to say to the cease fire. all you

talk about you're watching, observe, and use are with me still run the reminder of our top stories. the united nations has called on ethiopia's warring sides to stop fighting immediately aid to come in and refugee refugee safe zones can be set up. the government launched an offensive against ukraine forces 2 weeks ago. in uganda, opposition? politician bobby wine has been released on bail after being charged over actions likely to spread coronavirus. at least $28.00 people have been killed during a protest, sparked by his arrest on wednesday. and azerbaijan's army says it sent it back down a district that's been under army new control for most 30 years. amin is handing over the area as part of a cease fire deal to end weeks of fighting over nagorno-karabakh

us president elect joe biden has been declared the winner in the state of georgia for a 2nd time after a hand recount the ballots were audited after president donald trump's campaign questioned the results and claimed widespread fraud trumps legal team has again promised to produce evidence of what it calls a massive democratic conspiracy to steal the presidential election. joe biden has accused him of being irresponsible for refusing to concede. an official has more from washington d.c. . there's no saying 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. no 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 to clear the 2020 presidential election the most secured in american history. the president has both taking credit for that and to clear 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 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 who is not going to be able to. we're going to be sworn in in january 20th, and i just, you know, for our freedom question is moot, which is just outrageous. what he's doing with new states reporting widespread issues. the term campaign's efforts to prove fraud seem doomed to feel, but it could delay final confirmation. and trump's acceptance of what seems inevitable. alan fischer at the white house, but speak to a white house correspondent in washington d.c.

. president trump may be concerned now that he's lost georgia officially, but michigan is still in play as far as he's concerned. and he's trying to find a new tack to try and flip that state. yeah, the latest is and just for some context, georgia now confirming as you reported there, that this is a state that's going for biden, that will be certified as of today. on monday, michigan will do the same. so there is a narrow window of opportunity and prior to that for the president to get support from some of those in the michigan state legislature, this is a little complicated, but i'll try to make it simple. essentially what there is talk of and we have had this confirmed that there will be a meeting at the white house today. we're not exactly sure what time, but that representatives from the state legislature in michigan are expected to meet with president to discuss something which is legal, but highly unusual, and that is even after the vote is certified for joe biden. the legislature can

appoint republicans to instead vote in december for that electoral college vote instead of granting those electoral votes to donald trump instead of joe biden. and that's what we understand is being discussed not just in michigan, but potentially other republican legislatures as well. why are they doing this? well, we, you have to remember that earlier this week there was one county wayne county where there was a bit of a scuffle over whether or not the vote would be certified in that county for joe biden. fact 2 republicans on that panel and mitchell refused to then they did vote in favor of joe biden, and then they said, we want to rescind those votes, but there's no legal mechanism to do that. they say that they were intimidated and pressured into supporting joe biden. someone they said that they could not, in light of what they said was widespread voter fraud in voting. irregularities do

so. so the controversy continues, is the upshot. what we know now is that most states have said there are enough votes now for joe biden to win the electoral college when it is votes in mid december. this process of certification is messy and different in every state, but there is this legal window of opportunity that the us president is now exploring. and we should also point out that this did happen very narrowly in the end, a similar but different matter in 2016. in other words, there were 7 elect or as that did not vote for those that they were pledged to vote for their called faithless electors. it went all the way to the supreme court. it was ruled constitutional and it appears now in light of these court cases that donald trump's campaign has lost. this is their new avenue of exploration. we'll see what happens in the coming out of the moment i can believe. thank you. scott lucas is a professor of american politics at the university of birmingham. he says the

erratic action by trump's team has been part of his strategy. and it's, i'm 3 fronts. one front is to persuade or even intimidate officials, to flip election results. so today, donald trump will meet the 2 leading republican legislators from michigan. another key study in the election with a possible attempt to have that legislature, overturn the boat and say its troops a lot of hers who will go to washington for the electoral college on the sort of the 14th. the 2nd front is the legal option, but only cases so far. the truck campaign has lost 30 or $32.00 cases and there are only 2 victories have been mine and mine are attacking a handful of ballots in pennsylvania. there are likely to go anywhere. so what's the 3rd, the 3rd avenue is to throw as much disapprobation on the wall and hope that it sticks. were a lot of people think, oh, you know, maybe this election was stolen. so if you take that bizarre press conference yesterday,

let me tell you rudy giuliani might have smelled something but what i smelled was completely off the wall conspiracy theories such as this one that joe biden had conspired with the late minutes while a leader who got shot earth who died in 2013, the philanthropist george soros, anti far, and the clinton foundation to order democratic officials to switch votes. i know it sounds crazy, but that's exactly what they laid out. the risk is, you might not believe that i might not believe that, but donald trump is counting on enough people to believe that that he will continue to refuse to leave the white house until the very day that joe biden is inaugurated . well into the top story now, the u.s. says record of the highest daily death toll since may $2200.00 over 24 hours. health officials are asking people not to travel during next week's thanksgiving holiday, and california has imposed a month long curfew in the hopes of stopping the spread of coronavirus as christensen. he reports that one day mick has also cost thousands of people that
