georgia's republican secretary of state confirms a narrow win for joe biden. donald trump's lawyers vowed to continue contesting the election and stops the arrow at the end. the united nations has called on ethiopia's warring sides to stop fighting immediately. so aid can come in and refugee safe zones be set up. the government's launch an offensive into a grave region 2 weeks ago. both the left and the government accuse each other of killing civilians in airstrikes and indiscriminate attacks. the united nations refugee agency says it's repairing 420-0000 people to seek refuge in sudan, so far more than 300000 have fled their humanitarian workers, say millions of children are at risk and refugees in serious danger of an outbreak of disease. al-jazeera to morgan reports from the diet state in sudan near the

border with ethiopia, where tens of thousands have taken refuge. 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's, god 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 cage 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 u.s. children's agency says that chris tricked it access, and the ongoing communication blackout in the 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 end 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. earlier i spoke to say how sure he's the director general of ethiopia, s foreign ministry, and a former ambassador to the u.k. . he rejected accusations that ethiopia deliberately cut communications airing its offensive against rebels into gray. we have people on the ground, we have deployed employees, but entire communication blackout, we have to believe me 20 people left and they have to do their part or so. we are doing this in a very difficult situation ourselves. it is that people are left destroyed at least 80 the communication and everything. we heard prime minister abu ahmed say that the people who fled in recent weeks should be able to return. but how and when do you think this could be possible?

how is very simple because, you know, the border area is cleared of office. you know, the area is very calm and the fighting has moved into the center of the capital city. the regional capital saw it is easy for us now to repatriate them and we are trying to do that and it is possible to disprove most of them they fled from the border areas not run by golly. so we would prepare for any eventuality. even those who would be displaced from but the border towns, now it's calm, they will come back and most of them are from those areas. and where do we will say in africa, ugandan opposition? politician bobby wine has been released on bail after being charged over actions likely to spread. coronavirus. officials have accused a presidential candidate of violating covered $1000.00 restrictions while campaigning for the elections scheduled in january. at least 20 people have been killed during protests sponsored by his arrest on wednesday. al-jazeera is marcom

web is following the latest developments from neighboring kenya. he says the total number of dead is still not clear. senior police officer spoke to the press earlier today said 28 people have been killed in the violence. the streets are calm, barak are moving back to normal today. but this violence which began on wednesday continued on on thursday morning with separately a police patrol a just as told news agencies, the number of bodies resulting from the violence was actually 37. so the numbers in car aren't entirely clear. and senior security officials and police have said that they blame people for rioting and for attacking police officers. on the other hand, there are eyewitnesses, bobby wine himself, when he came out of court, as well as rights groups have complained of unjust and unfair and excessive violence on the part of the security forces. some rights groups have accused the ugandan government and weaponize ing its coded 19 response u.s.

pharmaceutical company pfizer and its german partner by intel could become the world's 1st companies to seek emergency authorization for their coronavirus vaccine . the us health secretary alex, as i say, is their plan to seek approval was a light at the end of the tunnel. mike hanna joins us live from washington d.c. . so mike, if they're able to get this emergency approval, was the most optimistic timeline for people to be vaccinated? well, that's a very important question. and one that depends on the speed with which the f.d.a. grants the emergency use authorization. what happens once 5 registers the request with the f.d.a.? it then looks at the data that pfizer has collected through its tests of some 40000 people over the past few months. the f.d.a. then calls a meeting with a group of independent scientists who will then decide whether or not to grant the

emergency use authorization based on the data that they've been given by pfizer. but the real difficulty here is that this is not a routine vecsey trial. this is a new technology which the scientists are going to have to look at. it's completely uncharted water. it is not a vaccine in which a mutant down version of the virus is injected into the system, allowing the body to create its own immunity. this is a case where, a spike proteins are created within the human's d.n.a., which replicates the coronavirus and trains the body to recognize it should the coronavirus into the body. so this is a totally different technology which has not been dealt with before. and this in itself is going to maybe extend the period. but in answer to your question, the speed with which these vaccines can be rolled out. well, that is also incredibly difficult because this particular treatment requires 2 injections over a period of 3 weeks. now that is a lot of injections,

a lot of the vaccine that needs to be distributed throughout the country. in addition to that, it needs to be stored at very low temperatures, $74.00 degrees centigrade or $94.00 degrees fahrenheit. this in itself creates huge logistical problems in moving the vaccine to service the greatest amount of people . so the actual timeline, pfizer is saying that it can get going within by the end of next month or the middle of next month. but it will be very limited quantities initially, it's expected that the 1st vaccines will go to the health workers back to the actual speed of the rollout is going to be something that will be seen once it starts happening. remembering as world that you've got to have a massive amount of vaccine being produced. there isn't that amount produced at this particular stage. so there's a lot of hurdles before the full rollout of this vaccine to this country's

population, and those in the u.k. and europe as well. thank you, mike for that mike hanna, in washington. meanwhile, the world health organization has removed the viral dr. graham disappear from its list of recommended medicines for patients in hospital with covered 19. it's another setback for the manufacturer. after the drug received early attention as a potential treatment of the latest suggests, it has little or no effect on survival rates or reducing hospital stays for infected patients. as a by john's army says it's entered a district that spin under control for almost 30 years. it's one of 3 areas that armenia asked to hand back a spot or a ceasefire. deal just signed over a week ago, russia helped broker the truce and has peacekeeping forces on hand to oversee the transfer. armenians are angry about giving up their land and have been protesting, demanding their prime minister, resign as a by john in armenia, sign the agreement to end 6 weeks. so fighting over nagar,

no kind of bomb. now let's take a closer look at the region being handed over the i'm dumb region alone is nearly the size of nagorno-karabakh. armenia must hand over to more areas in the coming weeks, including the region on nov 25th, on december 1st. it will have to hand over the last district that includes the important chord all connecting and i go back to armenia. that's now under the control of russian peacekeepers as a by john will keep all its territorial gains, including the 2nd city osama bin job. it is near, i'm down with more 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 that 10 percent of all of the rajon territory . so now it is being handed over people really 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 have 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 one mines. now, as very troops begin retaking those areas, many people are packing up and leaving the area how to handle homemade has more from lachine. there are very few people here at the moment. 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, the 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 of 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 stick by my character and that one is going to stay open for axis

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, it's a very complicated situation. and even though this town specifically, he would stay in the hands of the armenians simply because it's a long road. well, the few we spoke to said they didn't trust, they would be safe. still ahead on al-jazeera, we are just human and we also have business goals in our lives, a difficult pail to swallow for nurses in the philippines who are being prevented from working abroad because of the pandemic illness.

well, we've seen a proper taste of winter. it's still there and it did actually called to lot of temporary damage. so that's the winter front there, wrapped around it, that cold intrusion into the cold areas where we saw snow bitter freezing rain as well. so anywhere in the northeast china, sri provinces, you had significant snow. obviously, traffic temporarily halted road traffic temporary. how did news travel on the roads? now you might think so what? but this is the 1st time has happened this season. the freezing rain quite often is the worst of it all because it increases the weight on power lines and trees and breaks them off. now we've got temporary halt in that happens data minus 6, and this is the are talking about and snow the next. what's going to come through beijing? a bit of a wet snow or think over that is the winter cold and it's on its way south through china now, it will produce a certain amount of rain anywhere as far as the shanghai online backed will happen

. but when you get any further, i think probably not, i think that's the moment for now. i will hands forecast is 8 to 10 degrees. the next 3 days. the average is 50, so we are below average, but we're not getting the cold immediately. and the good news continues with the sas, china sea and the philippine sea empty of cloud got no more tropical psycho stalker about just the normal rainy season. in indonesia, for 23 years, mohsin has collected objects he finds along the coast. enough to fill his museum enough to break a guinness world record. armed with a story for every object has become an environmental activist and inspired artist and a voice for the plight of countless migrants. such on al-jazeera. i

recap of our top stories on al-jazeera. the united nations has called on ethiopia's warring sides to salt fighting mediately. so aid can come in and refugee save zones can be set up. the government launch an offensive against the grain forces in the north 2 weeks ago. ugandan presidential candidate bobby wine has been granted bail after being charged for flouting coronavirus restrictions. at least $28.00 people have been killed in protests over his detention during an election campaign rally. and us pharmaceutical company, pfizer and its german biotech,

could become the world's 1st companies to seek emergency authorization in the us for their coronavirus vaccine health secretary alex, as ours says that brown to seek approval was a light at the end of the term 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 trump's campaign question. the results and claimed widespread fraud and georgia secretary of state says, as a republican is disappointed in the results, but asserted that the numbers don't lie. i'm a passionate conservative, and as i've said before, i'm a proud trump supporter. i was with him early in the 2016 election cycle and his government nation. but the same conservative principles that i hold dear. like other republicans, i'm disappointed our candidate didn't win georgia's electoral close elections,

so distrust people feel their side was cheated. we saw this from the democrats in 2018, and we see this from republicans today working as an engineer throughout my life. i live by the motto that numbers don't lie as secretary of state. i believe that the numbers that we have presented today are correct. now, including georgia's tally biden, has won the presidency with 360 electoral college votes. he needed, 270, fell short with 232 biden is a 1st democratic presidential candidate to win georgia in nearly 3 decades. kimberly how good is our white house correspondent joins us now live. so kimberly, almost all of president trump's court actions have been dismissed, but they're still digging in what's his next move now? well, his next move appears to be taking place at the white house as we speak. we're watching

very carefully over there as potentially there is a meeting between the u.s. president and some republican legislators from the u.s. state of michigan. now it's important to note, this is a state that has gone decidedly in the column for joe biden, but there's been controversy earlier this week when at one point in one county, there were a number of republicans that refused to verify those votes, delaying that, and eventually casting it and then saying they wanted to recant that where there's no legal process for doing so. why is the u.s. president meeting with these legislators? well, there is the possibility that they could decide to instead of voting for joe biden, in the electoral college vote that takes place in mid december. they could instead have republicans go and vote for donald trump. now we should point out, this is very rare if not unprecedented. we should also point out that even if this

were to happen, this wouldn't be enough electoral college votes to overcome joe biden's lead. so why is the president doing this? well, as you mentioned, he's explored a number of legal avenues which so how far have failed. but donald trump has had millions of americans vote for him. he believes that he needs to fight on their behalf. whether or not this is another attempt to do so. it's still unclear, in fact, we're hoping we might get those answers from kelly machinating because she's the white house press secretary holding a press briefing next hour. so trying to figure out the strategy here because again, even if this were successful, which it's unlikely to be, it would not be enough votes for donald trump to win a 2nd term, at least as it stands right now. thank you. kimberly, for can me, how can i force in washington? leaders are locked in a budget standoff, putting an $850000000000.00 coronavirus relief package in jeopardy crisis talks

were held at a virtual summit after poland and hungary vetoed the budget. earlier this week, at the country's brought adoption of the recovery plan over a clause that ties funding with adhering to the rule of law or brennan has more from london. where the 2 countries that are the foremost of this veto threat, poland and hungary, it's been pointed out that they did actually agree to this provision of rule of law mechanism back in july. and so the diplomats are rather disappointed that poland and hungary have chosen to take this stance. now at this late stage, it's important, don't forget that the total package is in excess of $2.00 trillion dollars, dollars worth. and any delay will cause a knock on delay for dispersement of those e.u. funds. once the new budget starts a new budgetary year starts next year. but the concern is that poland and hungary are not exactly comfortable bedfellows with the rest of the european union when it

comes to issues of law and order. since 2015, when the polish government changed and the new law and order party, good lord, justice party came in. they've been accused of, for example, interfering in the judiciary impacting on media plurality policies which impact unfavorably toward minorities and vulnerable groups. and you can see that that's not going to, it will, it hasn't gone down very well with the european parliament. the fact that so they want to have some kind of leverage over poland and hungary. it's important to say it's only leverage if the rule of law impacts on the e.u. financially. so it's not in an abstract sense. it's on financial policies. nurses in the philippines are opposing a government ban on taking work abroad. they say they have the right to pursue work overseas, but the government wants them to stay. during the pandemic, jermain island again, reports from manila. gary, good 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 seeing the were needed to fight the crew in a virus crisis. a told me working abroad is not make us any less of a patriotic citizen of this country. for me, it is actually a hero week 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 position. they say it is tantamount to forced servitude. filipino nurses are some of the most sought

after health workers in the world. but this fight, 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 no 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. nurses are calling for the chapel band to be removed and for salaries of all 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 country, lack 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 stands is denying them the opportunity to have a better life. jim duggan al-jazeera, manila, mexico's senate has approved a bill to make it legal to use my wana, the legislation still needs to pass all congress, but the vote is seen as the 1st serious attempt to move cannabis in a country that's become notorious for its drug war. john heilemann has a story, makes cars been grappling for years with how to regulate this one. 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, she is legal to mystic. if you happen to have a book here and 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 rockets like extortion. have a look at this, these kind of these plants are actually being grown right in front of make scary senate by marijuana activists who are trying to raise awareness of what's going on

. and they have another big question, and it's this core of communities in the rural hills of mexico that currently grow their crop for the no case. 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 a reserve. but there, it's, 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 legally. now i want to make a living in a licit 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 them. your profits was the fear of marijuana activists. is that the law will actually only help international corporations get into the mix, kamarck it, and so to richer urban consumers, what else with the street could a business continues is normal? but in a socially conservative country, really took drug legalization is deeply controversial to senators and of the kurds . hope this could be the start of change john, home and out 0. mexico city. now again, i'm fully back to bill with the headlines on al-jazeera. 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 against the gray and forces still weeks ago.
