millions of children are at risk, and refugees are in serious danger of an outbreak of disease. here morgan is in gallery of state in sudan, near the border with here and has more now on the conditions children are facing just 2 weeks ago, while heated 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 very 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 fresh air, got into dance, got out 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 into. great. but it to hell are you and 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 u.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, there are school age. unfortunately, they will not have school this year. so we have to come up with alternative and programs already within the next month. or 2, we're hoping the crisis will stop in ethiopia, 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 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. then the theory being cattle, he says the battle for mackay will prove decisive in the conflict. if they can't hold the cup at all, it means they are defeated and mackellar is considered the ultimate prize. if european national defense forces, who are now said to be roughly about 100 kilometers from the cup at all, and they are saying they will launch attacks on mackinnon from a place for different fronts. but what is going to be a huge opportunity to the t.p.s. is that the city is surrounded by hills and mountains where they have mounted their

defenses and are hopeful they. 'd will stop their advancing upon and of course, both sides are heavily armed and it might not be is according to security. understood. technical, it has been for the open defense forces of towns like the man of war which they have just claimed to have taken control of and any protracted conflict. many here fear would not just affect a few appear, but the entire horn of africa. region. the un secretary general has warned that yemen is inching closer to the world's worst famine in decades. and turn into terrorists and call for immediate action to stave off a catastrophe. yemenis, already suffering after more than 6 years of war. its era says reduced relief funding and a crumbling currency are obstructing efforts to avert a famine. and we see a dramatic, they're going to nation of humanitarian situation and the risk as it was expressed

this morning. in my statement of a famine that's probably would have had no parallel in recent history except the famous of famine in ethiopia. many decades ago, a prominent opposition figure in uganda has been released on bail and says he was tortured and detention presidential candidate. bobby weiner was arrested at a campaign rally on wednesday and has been charged with breaking coronavirus restrictions. the arrest sparked protests and violent crackdown. the police say at least 37 people were killed malcolm web reports. dozens of people have been killed in uganda's capital, kampala, the protests broke out. a wednesday. they began after the pop star turned presidential candidate for the wind was arrested. he held a campaign rally in the room, the district just over 100 kilometers from the capital. as usual,

that attracted thousands of supporters many more than the limits of 200 allowed on the covert. 19 restrictions, there was a very early and very active. it's a political group i'm deported, intervened so debates where i'm going to get deported the boat, we won. supporters didn't see it like that. they think the government's trying to stop him sweeping to victory in presidential elections due in january. he's challenging, president yoweri miss 70. he's been in power for 34 years after 2 days in jail. he was charged in called breaking the covert prevention rules released on bail. this is, in my opinion because i value used on the same thing and while i cannot be broken

but we are not going to stop fighting for a better uganda for other opposition. presidential candidates have suspended their campaigns to protest against the actions of the security forces. the government blames the demonstrators rioting and attacking police officers. what do you make sure you do you the elections are meant to be held just on the 2 months from now. it's not clear if the campaigns will continue or how, but it is clear they've got off to a violent start. malcolm webb, al-jazeera u.s. president dollar terms meeting republican party leaders from the state of michigan at the white house in his latest bid to overturn the election results. the

constitution does not permit a state legislature to do with donald trump wants the michigan state legislature to do the state legislature is already prescribe the manner in which the electors in 2020 were to be chosen. that is through the popular vote. they cannot, after the fact on the round and change those rules retroactively faces. life for us from the white house to island dollars has been appearing for the 1st time in a week. he's been meeting with people from the state of michigan, but no concession speech. in fact, one might describe it as continued belligerence. well, he was whole thing, an event in the white house briefing room to talk about prescription drug prices. but of course, he couldn't help himself talk about the election. he said that big pharma, the drug companies, had decided to delay news of a covert vaccine to heart temp. politically. the companies have already said that's

simply not the case. they went through the process that they had flagged up. he also said that those drug companies that spent millions of dollars to stop him becoming president because he'd said that he was going to cut drug prices. he said everyone was against them, including the media and the number of enemies, and he said we won the election, which of course he hasn't been able to back up and he had bad news just in the last few hours when george just certified joe biden. as the winner that after a 5000000 vote hand recount making joe biden, the 1st democrat to win that state in the presidential election since 1902. the fact that you don't trump has been meeting these senior officials from michigan was dismissed as nothing more than donald trump meeting lawmakers from around the country. the white house insisting it was routine, but certainly a number of congress people from michigan more concerned about it. debbie dingell,

who is a democratic congresswoman said that what donald trump was trying to do was to put pressure on these 2 officials to try and make sure that michigan, which is a republican run state when it comes to sending voters along to the electoral college vote for donald trump, rather than follow the popular vote, now there are laws in place to stop that it would be incredibly difficult for anyone to do that. and also mike shirky, who is the leader of the republicans in the house in the senate in michigan has already said they will not be set to firing donald trump as the winner. he will follow the popular vote. so this just might have been shirky taking the opportunity to come to the if you're summoned by the president, you tend to go along. but he's already said that he is not going to vote in any other way than with the popular vote. which of course means joe biden wins michigan couple of weekends underway in wisconsin as well, but unlikely to overturn the result there,

which means that joe biden will win the state. so as it stands at the moment, joe biden has 306 electoral college votes. that's very interesting. because of course, that's exactly the figure that donald trump had 4 years ago. and you'll remember that in the days after the election, donald trump kept talking about $306.00 electoral college votes in his view. that was a landslide when alan fischer there for life for us and wall and the white house in washington. d.c. . now still ahead on al-jazeera perris police face allegations of rights abuses during last week's protests and our mania relinquishes landed to azerbaijan. after controlling it for almost 30 years.

hell, i was really cold in new york a few days ago. now, up to the middle teens is about to get colder again because the winter cold is sitting, crossed most the northern plains states. it's easing south and east easing east coast is still quite warm and most of southern states. so you've got this contrast of say 92 about 24 somewhere in there that produces big thunderstorms. as the cold pushes south, little rock maybe example of this, you'll see the showers go through and then change a temperature 22 on saturday, down to 12 all my this is in the middle of arkansas as well as a bit of a chill. so that line is potentially dangerous showers, and then the snows come through on the following area after that. not a lot of it, but notable all the same on the list time in briefly fine on the pacific coast. but you got more rain or snow for the cascades coming in through washington state and into oregon. you probably go further south as well. for the south and that no more hurricanes to talk about the stern area of potentially nasty weather. we've got the

potential for heavy rain still in honduras in court. tamala, el salvador, and again down in panama and costa rica. and this may be the concentration of the heaviest stuff, but unfortunately, honduras is not rain free, so the floods get worse because one of the most wanted men on the one of the mastermind of a $4500000000.00 fraud. they want to put him in jail, but you cannot help being in the past ages 0 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. joe load up for a fugitive on a just, you know

watching al-jazeera a reminder of our top stories at this hour. the united nations is warning of a humanitarian crisis in northern ethiopia. it says more than $10000000.00 children are at risk from the fighting in t. . great aid agencies, neighboring sudan, the planning for as many as 200000 refugees, ugandan opposition, politician bobby ryan has been released on bail after being charged over actions likely to spread coronavirus. police say at least $37.00 people have died in protests, sparked by his arrest on wednesday. u.s. republican party leaders from the state of michigan have met with president his lawyers say state legislators should ignore results in swing states like michigan

and give their electoral college votes to trump. over the politicians say they are not aware of any information that will change the outcome. and this as the u.s. recorded 2015 coronavirus tests on thursday, it's the 1st time its daily death count has crossed the 2000 mark since may. meanwhile, pharmaceutical company, pfizer and its german partner biotech, filed emergency authorization in the united states for their code in 1000 vaccine. the u.s. health secretary alex is, has described the move as light at the end of the tunnel. if the request is approved, a vaccine could be available within weeks. mike hanna has more from washington d.c. . what happens once fire 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 vaccine 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 humans, d.n.a., which replicates the corona virus, and trains the body to recognize it should the corona virus 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 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. the world health organization has removed the antiviral drug, severe from its list of recommended medicines for patients with an hospital with copd 19. it's another setback for the manufacturers going after the drug received early attention as a potential treatment. but the latest trial says, suggests it has little or no effect on survival rates. all reducing hospital stays for infected patients. this area army says it's entered at dam, a district has been under armenian control for almost 30 years. it's one of the 3 areas. armenia has to hand back as part of a cease fire deal to end 6 weeks of fighting over the disputed region of nagorno-karabakh. the other 2 districts are to returned by the 1st of december,

while as very celebrates armenians, a grieving the loss of life and they've long claimed as their meat has more from washington. there's a sense of defeat in armenia will soon lose control over district dziedzic district . very few civilians are left in town and armenian soldiers. i just transiting through under way out. the hand is a businessman. volunteer fighter. it's a bittersweet day for him. he was soon meet up with his wife, but after the district where he was deployed at the beginning of the war is being returned as a bit, jack told him. a lot of tales about the situation was a return to everything. when in reality, no one in the public knew the real of the situation. we now have

the result that we deserved all of the armenian forces have to evacuate before december 1st. a mere 70 kilometers away celebrations, an atom, a district on the eastern flank of the un clave, which armenia occupied and considered a buffer zone. like bit of was among the 60000 a series expelled at the time from here i'm lost for words to explain my feelings. it's the best day of my life. the 1st place i want to visit is the fater. it's destroyed now, but he was very nice and we will, he build it's a stark contrast to december. mood in the chain here to tens of thousands of azeris were expelled. lachine was the 1st captured by the armenians and early 1990, s. . and it will be the last one handed back to azerbaijan, and it's all because of this road. the so-called latching corridor that connects armenia to nagorno-karabakh. it will remain open for armenian civilians. and as the

russian peacekeepers who are going to guarantee their safe passage, it's a lifeline of the un cle, at least through this road, that the bulk of the russian peacekeepers are deployed and taking up positions along the corridor. as a budget, as forces would be just a few kilometers away, it worries me and who stayed at home throughout the war. she came to the municipality with her neighbors to ask for help. then i don't want to leave here. i have a deep connection. my husband and my son a buried here. i want to be able to visit the grave. and i want to stay. and i want my generation to be moved again. about $12000.00 district over the past 3 decades as it but said it would ensure the safety of those living along the corridor. but after all, what's happened?

headquarters. i asked one participant of the g. 20, the secretary general for his view of saudi's human rights record. i'm talking about the lack of proper accountability for the murder of jamal khashoggi, the continued detention of political prisoners, including women activists and reports of torture. secretary, or you have the chance to address all of this fully. or you can dodge my question. but wouldn't that be it? wouldn't that be, wouldn't that be effectively greenlighting more abuses by chance that in what i've just said, that is a clear reference to the needs of all these programs. to have one objective that everybody should be able to enjoy full human rights. all human rights apply to all countries, including the host country of the g 20. what about those shoes? let's say what we want is human rights everywhere,

including the secretary general will take part in the virtual summit from new york . he wants the g 20 to extend in duration and scope debt relief it offered to some of the world's poorest countries earlier in the year. however, early draft of the final communique seen by journalists suggests he may fail in that attempt. zira at the united nations. though it isn't mccain are preparing to elect their next president on sunday. last minute preparations are under way across the west african nation. president. marc christian couple is up against a dozen other candidates, but some 400000 people. 7 percent of the electorate won't be able to take part. polling stations will not open in areas where there have been recent attacks by al qaida eisel and their affiliates. they have been protests in brazil over the killing of a black man outside a supermarket. demonstrators are calling
