neutral, and all of these cases going here is to terrorize. and here's the other part of this. there's no consequence. this stream on out is the this is al-jazeera. hello i'm still robin. you're watching the al-jazeera news, our life, my headquarters here in doha coming up in the next 60 minutes. schoolgirls flee to safety. after more than 20 rockets rained down on kabul, killing at least 8 people. the explosion comes as the u.s. secretary of state lands in qatar. he's meeting both sides in peace talks involving afghans, afghanistan's government, and the taliban. also,

donald trump faces another setback in his bid to overturn the election results legislators from michigan. so joe biden's win in the state will stand on the u.n. warns of a humanitarian crisis in northern ethiopia. as the government pushes forward its offensive into gray and on fire as well. have all the day's support, including counting down to kick off. it's now exactly 2 years to go until katter's world cup and organizers say preparations have been largely on the fact and by the crown of iris. and welcome to the news multiple rocket attacks in several parts of the afghan capital have killed at least 8 people. one rocket landed near a school forcing students to run from the building. the interior history says

dozens of people have been injured. the taliban has denied responsibility for the account of fury, joins us now. a correspondent in kabul, we've been following the monitoring this for the last few hours. so let's just start with the circumstances around this rocket attack. what do we know also how, like you mentioned this is a developing story as everything happened only a few hours ago. so there is an investigation still going on we, what we do know is what happened this morning? a little bit after 8 is something that i've been coming here for 15 years. and what i witnessed was something of breasts, an unprecedented and brazen as that leads to 23. rockets started flying all over calpol. and what it really felt like it was like the city was under attack. i was on the leaven floor of a highrise and i could, we could see actually the rockets landing everywhere and smoke coming from different parts of the city. like you mentioned at least 8 people have been

confirmed dead now. $31.00 have been injured and one thing about those rockets because phuket attacks are not uncommon in kabul, but usually it's just want to is that they were all coming at the same time. and usually they're fired from tubes that it's really hard to make sure that they will land where the intended target is. so wherever they were targeted near schools, near hospitals, in the center of kabul, near cafes, it was a time where afghans were having their breakfasts. maybe it was not the intended target, it's just where they landed, but whoever is behind or was behind this, it's for sure that one of the real motives and targets was to terrorize afghans and make them feel that they're not safe anywhere even here in the heart of kabul, kabul, the afghan capital is considered the safest part, although afghanistan. so imagine when something like this happened. so how in secure all this afghans in kabul residents. but of course comes when you,

when you talk about who could be behind this, various finger pointing begins, the taliban have also denied in the last few hours that they have nothing to do with this. it leaves a void, doesn't it? as to who is behind this because nobody takes responsibility and the authorities call really target any individual or group. exactly, and that has been one of the big, big issues here for the past several months. there have been so many attacks all across the country. and even here, especially here in kabul, where the security situation is kind of like getting out of control. there have been so many attacks, whether it's targeted killings, whether it's bombings, whether it's i.d.'s that are being planted in cars. so many people, innocent civilians are being targeted and nobody claims responsibility. in fact, the u.n. recently released a report saying that such attacks that remain unclaimed now make up 70 percent

of all attacks that are taking place all across the country. and that's why afghans are beginning to question the government's security plans. i mean, in kabul, there's a helicopter flying right now. security is supposed to be tighter. there are those blimps what afghans call op american balloons. there's 2 right here behind me. they're supposed to have some sort of surveillance all across the afghan capital just to try and monitor what's going on in terms of security. so there is this issue and a lot of questions among afghans about what has been going on. there has been this big. all of attacks, all 1st the country, and again, especially here in kabul, considered the safest part of this country surveil controvert, thanks for joining us course will be dating the story or through the day. well meanwhile, the u.s. secretary of state my pump arrived in qatar just a few moments ago. he showed you all to meet negotiators from the afghan government

and the taliban separately. visit to doha, as part of a 10 day tour of the middle east and europe. stephanie decker is following events for us and joins me now from doha, where the meeting is taking place. and of course, secretary of state, pompei was arrived in doha stuff on top of the agenda. obviously will be to try and get traction on these stalled afghan taliban peace talks. what seem to be the sticking points in the light? certainly of what's going on in kabul this morning. also we'll be keeping an eye on not too. yes, i mean the taliban have officially denied that they were behind that attack on the afghan capital. but coming back here, sticking points, really they haven't even begun to discuss the difficult issues. and remember these, the interim afghan talks between the afghan government and the taliban. there's a lot of mistrust. there a lot of issues. what the sticking point is at the moment this started in september and actually secular state, my pompei. i was here in doha for the opening ceremony of this into talks and

they're just trying to lay the foundations of how these talks are going to be governed under what nor the taleban want to specifics for me, islamic law to be applied. that is something that's proving contentious with the afghan government saying that certain groups like the has our community can't be discriminated against because they are she argued it's very complicated. so they haven't even begun to talk of the difficult issues. so sector pay 0 will be meeting with both sides will certainly, i think be trying to push them to get haass. these are sort of the technicalities if you want to start. they real difficult negotiations. of course, nobody expects are going to be easy. is expected to have lunch with the amir of qatar as well. i presume we can take a pretty good guess that both sides will be pressing their own agenda. other issues, for example, qatar will want to see traction on the arab blockade. been lifted. the u.s. might want to see how fall qatar is willing to recognize israel. if it's all

yes, top of his agenda 1st stop will be lunch with the american will then also be meeting the deputy prime minister for sure they will be discussing things like the gulf blockade. now 3 and a half years in issues like iran, we know the hard line that my own pay on this u.s. administration takes against iran. capture is very close to iran. in fact, it's one of the criteria of the blockade in countries that are cuts its ties with iran. so a lot of things will be a will be discussed at the has been told from this administration that they want to try and push an easing of the blockade, particularly talking about what they call an easing of the the flight corridor. of course, this is a country that's how does land borders an arab borders blockaded by the countries? there was some talk from officials that perhaps it could be opened over saudi arabia and bahrain. none of this confirms i also, i think, you know, certainly as the u.s. state is here in the dying days, if he'd been a stray should of course these are also countries that have recognized joe biden as the president elect something that neither child nor sector pompei or have agreed

to so i think they'll be interesting discussions, but yes, i think certainly still a lot to talk about and i think on paper will be trying to push through certain things before they leave office because we're checking in with you go through the, day a correspondent now, 2 weeks after joe biden was named, u.s., president elect the outgoing president. donald trump is still refusing to concede, but he's face to significance that backs in his push to undermine and overturn the election results. michigan's republican party leaders say they'll back biden's win in their state. that's after they met trump in the white house where he reportedly tried to persuade them to appoint pro trump electors instead. and on friday, georgia's top election, official certified results are meant in a bind when a hand recount, he says, despite being a trance supporter, the numbers in georgia are clear, are clearly in favor of biden. but trump refuses to acknowledge defeat. with most of the republican party supporting him and his legal team has filed about 30

lawsuits throughout various states, none of which have proved his claims of widespread fraud. alan fischer reports are from washington d.c. . thank you very much. the event at the white house was to talk prescription prices, but donald trump couldn't help talking about the election claiming pharmaceutical companies. the lead news of a covert vaccine to her temple it eclipsed. big pharma ran millions of dollars of negative advertisements against me during the campaign, which i won by the way, but find there are almost 74000000 votes. we had big pharma, i guess we had to mediate against we had big check against us. we had a lot of dishonesty against us, while joe biden spent his birthday meeting with democratic congressional leaders to talk post-election plans. donald trump was meeting republicans from michigan to the white house denying reports the president wants them to stop the state certifying

biden's win. there he routinely meets with lawmakers from all across the country, but one democrat from michigan says this is anything but a routine meeting. joe biden won 14 times greater in download truck winner state 4 years ago. the president is trying to, i don't know what word you call it, is cheat his way to victory by pressuring local officials. after the meeting, the 2 republicans said that had no new information to change joe biden's victory in the state. adding the result certification process should be free from threats and intimidation. and joe biden's legal team called it an abuse. of course, the use of office. it's an open attempt to intimidate election officials. georgia is the latest state to certify a joe biden victory after a manual recount of 5000000 votes. he becomes the 1st democrat to win the presidential race in the state since 1992. there are 2 recounts underway in counties in wisconsin,

but it's unlikely they will change the result there. president elect joe biden know stands on 306 electoral college votes. exactly the same number. donald trump achieved 4 years ago when he claimed a landslide victory. alan fischer al-jazeera at the white house. well, let's bring in evan resnick. he's an assistant professor in international relations at the new young, young technological university in singapore, and joins me via skype. good to have you with us on the program with resnick again . i mean, a setback in georgia and late on friday, michigan as well for president trump. i mean, how much of a political game changer of a, because we sort of knew those states were sort of heading in the direction of joe biden? yeah, i mean, the writing which has been on the wall for us since pretty much the 1st couple days after the election. and i mean the, the realization that this is over is increasingly permeating the holdouts in the republican party. but ever so slowly. i mean, how worrying is it that

a sitting president is trying to sort of circumvent the popular vote by trying to coerce it seems republican legislators to go against the people's choice? yes. unprecedented. it's the sort of behavior that 2 big dictators of banana republics engage in that the u.s. state department routinely condemns for that sort of behavior. so this is we're really in uncharted territory now in terms of this president's behavior. but we shouldn't be altogether surprised, given the manner in which he's comported himself over the last 4 years in office. of course, over the last few weeks, certainly since the election, maybe even before that as what we've seen, fractures appear within the republican party. those voices seem to be getting louder. certainly when it comes to talk of concession and transition, they have gotten louder and there are a few more voices you see. some of this is sort of the more moderate reasonable characters in the party. people like senator mitt romney, senator ben sasse, of nebraska being

a little bit more overt in their criticism of the president. but it's still the law mostly minor in comparison and is sort of it when you recognize the regis misbehavior that the president is engaging in. so it's quite disappointing that the senior leaders in the party, especially in congress, have not finally stood up and said enough is enough. i mean, conceding fold president, trump is a bitter pill to swallow. he can't do that right now. but when does his in crunch? intransigents really become an issue for, for the transition in terms of national security and domestic policy. it already is, i mean, this is a transitioning from one administration to another, especially from one from, from the administration of one party to another. is a massive undertaking. i mean, if you look at just the department of defense alone, it's the largest agency, the largest employer in the world. so the extent to which

a transition is seamless allows the incoming administration to better deal with emerging crises and other sorts of domestic or international problems. that occur in the bin, it's very early months. and so given that we are that the u.s. is already deeply in, matched, in a terrible domestic and international crisis. in the face of the covert, $1000.00 pandemic, every minute counts. and this and for the transition to be delayed as a result of the president's personal pique or ego bruising is, is really upsetting. it's obviously frustrating for joe biden to being rather diplomatic so far, but his tone is changing as well. it is, i think everyone is just getting very frustrated on, understandably so on the biden transition team side and, and the, and its supporters. what's making this, what's making matters exponentially worse is that the current administration is doing almost nothing to combat the pandemic. and so it's for the vast majority of

american people that this is a will having to wait another 2 months or so until i get competent ministration to enter the white house and start doing something about this illness that has already taken a quarter of a 1000000 lives it's getting worse by the day. it's really it, it's just honest, unbelievable. or is it your importer, evan resnick from nanyang technological university in singapore. thanks for your time. and if you plenty more ahead here on the al-jazeera news hour, including 25 years after bosnia as leaders signed a peace agreement, the war is over. but the tensions that led to it are not also this year's g. 20 summit is taking place virtually. but that hasn't stopped it from generating controversy. and the world's top 4 ranked men's tennis players will. all feature in the a.t.p. final semifinals in london will have all of the sports action they took due

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 will stop their advancing opponents. of course, both sides are heavily armed and it might not be is easy. according to security analyst, a technicality. it's been for the european defense forces, other towns like and 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, canada's largest city is going back into lockdown on monday after a rise in corona virus cases,

gyms and sullens are closing in toronto and restaurants are limited to takeaways. there are fears that daily inspections could rise to 12 times the current level of social contacts increased during the holiday season. the sun has tested positive for corona virus. donald trump, jr, is the latest in the president's cycle to be infected. a spokesman for the trump family says that he hasn't shown any symptoms, but has been in quarantine since finding out that he had the virus. at the start of the week. the state of south australia is ending its 6 day lockdown early after it was revealed. a pizza worker with corona virus had lied about his movements. the infected man told the contact traces that he went to buy a pizza rather than the fact that he worked at the store. they believed he caught the virus after a brief exposure, but it was assumed the strain was highly contagious and led to a statewide lockdown. to say that i am fuming about the actions of this individual is an absolute understatement. the actions of this individual have put

our whole state in a very difficult situation. his actions have affected businesses, individuals, family groups, and it's completely and utterly unacceptable. i'm so proud of the efforts of all south australians who have been working with and with as a place this way to keep our state safe and strong. rising corona, virus infections in sweden, putting its no lockdown model under pressure for the 1st time. the government has rejected advice from a public health agency and its recommendation that people don't have to wear masks has led to a dispute with the scientific academy awards. the nobel prize pool reese has more from stockholm, commuter rush begins in stockholm with little evidence of concern about sweden's mounting coronavirus crisis. it's just a couple of months since the decision not to impose a lockdown seemed to be working. but with

a 2nd wave of the pandemic building momentum, it could be a long cold winter ahead. for the approach that has been dubbed the swedish model. a record 7240 new cases were reported on friday, with 66 more deaths taking the toll to almost 6 and a half 1000 been getting more and more patient. there's a procedures of course for taking care of them there late with that in front of us and we are far behind. sweden's government is starting to impose tougher restrictions. no more than 8 people can now attend official events, while pubs and restaurants from serving alcohol. after 10 pm, there are new limits on visits to old people's homes. after infections again started spreading rapidly in places where thousands died in the spring. the governor, we'll continue to take all necessary decisions to reduce the spread of infection.

sweden strength in this crisis, however, is that every person takes their responsibility. does the juice for their fellows, and for our country is about personal responsibility has been at the heart of sweden's fight against the pandemic. but now many are questioning whether people should be forced to comply with tougher measures, including having to wear masks something that most swedes have so far shunned. that's after the royal swedish academy of sciences released a report showing that masks could prevent the spread of infection indoors, as we found so far, yearly supports the fact that it's really close to the 5 in the main issue. it's not exactly preventing this spread by us, but that's in contrast to recommendations made by the public health agency and the chief epidemiology. understand yell, who has repeatedly said masks, can make people more careless about social distancing. not everyone has listened with masks, sales tripling at one pharmacy chain in november. even if the government does bow

to pressure on masks, that could be as far as it's prepared to go. the so-called swedish model may be under some pressure, but a full lockdown is unlikely and perhaps even impossible. such a measure is guarded against by the swedish constitution that protects citizens freedoms. even in a time of crisis. paul recent al-jazeera stockyard drafting a covert 19 action plan is expected to be top priority when leaders of the world's richest nations meet for the g. 20 summit. saudi arabia is hosting it this year, but there have been calls to boycott the virtual event over the kingdom's human rights abuses. a counter summit is being held online to highlight some of those issues on diplomatic editor james bays has more from the united nations riyadh to the place where the g 20 summit would have been held there using a giant projector to display the images of the participants but because of covert

a man he'll be concerned to see leading political figures from the us democratic party taking part in this event. i have also spoken now one, saudi authorities arrested peaceful activists. the incoming democratic president joe biden has promised a much more clear eyed policy regarding the kingdom of u.n. 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. separate general, 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. and what going to hell seems like bits of south for human rights apply to all countries, including the host country of the g 20. what about those ships pacific? if you says in those that i'm saying, what we want is human rights everywhere, including in those countries. 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, an early draft of the final communique seen by journalists, suggests he may fail in that attempt. jamesburg his al-jazeera at the united nations times or whether there's rob the eastern med is still churning around with areas of low pressure. and that's recently produced. flooding in alexandria, not extensive or excessive, but enough just to have a way of trusting the road starkly different to normal. this is a roundabout in the north. now, this is just the latest in

welcome back. you're watching the al-jazeera news, our which means the whole romney reminder of our top stories. multiple rocket attacks in several parts of the afghan capital have killed at least 8 people. one rocket landed near a school forcing students to run from the building, and dozens of people have been injured. but it comes as the u.s. secretary of state. my pompei arrives in qatar just hours after the attacks and he shuttled to meet negotiators from the afghan government on the taliban separately. visit today are as part of a 10 day tour of the middle east and europe, and also michigan republican party leaders say there's no new information that would change joe biden's electoral victory after they met with donald trump at the white house. he's reportedly trying to convince republicans to point crow, trump elect tolls in the states where biden won it's been 25 years since rival ethnic leaders signed a peace deal that would end the 3 year bosnian war a quarter of

a century on many living in a politically divided country want the dayton agreement, rewritten or tweaked under the deal, bosnia is preserved as a single state, but it's divided into 2 parts. andrew symonds explains. the war in bosnia herzegovina lasted 3 and a half years. it left more than 100000 people dead. and more than 2000000 displaced half the country's small population. there were atrocities. so the biggest, more than 8000, muslim men and boys killed by bosnian serbs, it was the worst atrocity in europe since world war 2. peace came 25 years ago with a deal reached in the united states the dayton agreement. it may have stopped the fighting, but now suffering of a different kind is abundant. low wages are failing. economy corruption in the ruling elites, poor education,

high unemployment in these type of state. why we are living as a failed state is a failed international interaction. if you like, the feel people, what follow the dayton agreement was a bewildering, often dysfunctional system of government. 3 presidents from the once warring parties, bosnian serbs, croats, and bosnian muslims layers of bureaucracy with devise a rule under a weak central government. david owen now lord owen of british politician, was the european union's intermediary. and he failed to get a peace deal. he says, bosnians need to make the dayton agreement work for people who have to live together and are not prepared to make the necessary compromises to do so. and there is a constant striving for separation. and for changing the map and changing the deal that was the basis of the dayton accords. if you have been allowed to continue,

then of course the dayton accords will break out. one hope lies with joe biden. the us president elect in stopping was arrested by serbia. as a senator in the 1990 s., he had a major interest in trying to solve the bosnian conflict. and as vice president barack obama, he pushed for political reform bills. now, this is a man who doesn't understand the complexities of both screen, and i think it's going to be helpful and hopeful if you will take an active interest. but again, there's cynicism about the role of international intervention. politicians, including joe biden, who don't belong to the old guard of politicians. i don't see, i don't see, we need that anymore. b.p. should really after 25 years, find a way to stand out and to stand up on our own feet. no one won the war. and

the ethnic divisions it created are frozen within the politics of peace. 25 years on there's still a shadow cast on bosnia future. andrew symonds al jazeera, well as a journalist and justice activists from both the enjoys me now live via skype from prayed to your in bosnia herzegovina. good to have you with us on the program. how delicate has it been to keep the peace in bosnia herzegovina considering there all those major croats and serbs interests within the country? well, i think that we are at the moment in one of the most delicate periods since to do it in peace agreement. because immediately after the war we had a very heavy international presence in the military presence, which sadly defied the peace in these early years. when it was most fragile and we were on an upward curve up until 2006, where the potential for us, in fact, making the peace work and building

a state that will not be shackled by what is a peace agreement which was signed while the cannons were still hot was going to be turned into some sort of functioning constitutional framework. unfortunately, in 2006, this package of constitutional changes failed. and since then we see a reason erection of, especially among the bosnian serb leadership, both in products as well in a way this kind of a reason, right? action of war time, goals, which have been provided for a smokescreen because there are a lot of the poor, a rampant corruption in which they found partners on the other side as well. yeah, we are only for, we don't mention that in a report. sorry to interrupt because i think we need to develop the fact that you know that the dayton peace accords the peace agreement is under threat to

politically, from rival interests who want to divide bosnia-herzegovina a nurture those 2 sections into their own respective countries. how close to failure is the peace agreement at the moment from way you setter. i think it did. it is, as we've seen, no go, look at it in conflicts are very easy to of greece. the fact is also that the country has been depopulated to the point where it's difficult to, to actually see who would be fighting the war. and it would be anything like we saw, in the 1990 s., but politically speaking. and in terms of the narratives, as i said, we are in the most delicate moment since the dayton peace agreement was signed. exactly, as you said, because we can see that boston is being seen as an arena poor primarily serbia, but also croatia to kind of compensate on various different political issues by

destabilizing the country and don't abuse. i mean your back that can in fact, work out a deal in bosnia in the same way, 25 years ago. and of course you have, you have serbia and if you have serbian politicians get in there, we have serbian politicians like milorad dodik chief. i've pronounce his name correctly. who's expels ing the fact that he thinks that the serbian part of bosnia should merge with the state of serbia. now that's something that would be awkward for serbia at the moment. they want e.u. membership. they're not going to tackle this particular topic until they get that e.u. membership. if that's the way serbia go, is it succession or ceding to serbia may happen in the future? either of those options is still, you might say, threatening to what is the dayton agreement at the technicals and of course, to bosnia as a governor. absolutely, absolutely,

but this is exactly the point. and this rhetoric of all of secession and merging with serbia very nordic is unfolding in a situation where everyone in wall norm's very clearly that then you get them to turn. that threat through the reality would lead to another war immediately because the bosnian state is a security framework who are the most populous majority population of bosnia in moscow. and so that to do in any way magine, that they are, can be european accession process in a context where this becomes more than rhetoric, it is just ludicrous or she would have to summon referee thanks for joining us from preacher in bosnia, bosnia herzegovina. and his area army has entered

a district that's been under armenian control for almost 30 years. it's one of 3 areas. armenia has had to hand back as part of a ceasefire deal to end 6 weeks of fighting over the disputed region of nagorno-karabakh. well, as areas celebrated, armenians are grieving the loss of land that they've long claimed as theirs hoda, abdel-hamid has more from election there's a sense of defeat in that chain. i mean, yeah, to lose control of a district dziedzic district. they few civilians are left in town and now being in soldiers, i just transiting through under way out. the hand caribbean 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 air. but jack, we were told, told a lot of tales about the situation or thought that our army source wrong was

a return to everything. when in reality, no one in the public knew the real the situation. we now have the result that we deserved all of the armenian forces, have to evacuate less before december 1st, a mere 70 kilometers away celebrations, an atom, a district on the eastern flank of the un clave, which i mean you're occupied and considered a buffer zone. i looked it over as among 260008 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, left, she 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 but just 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. 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 their graves and i want to stay and i want my generation to be moved again about 12000 armenians settled in the

lurch in district over the past 3 decades as it but just said it would ensure the safety of those living along the lachine corridor, but after all, what's happened? no one here is willing to take the risk without the helmet, al-jazeera, let them. there is nothing but destruction in that area. the mosque behind me used to be at the heart of the south of the city, which has been abandoned and vandalized as well. i've been speaking to people who've been trying to come back here. we were actually at military cause for hours . and people want to come back in the military has been telling them that they cannot come back because of the dangers had some officials say that about $150.00 mind in a matter of a few hours as the military forces were moving in, was clear from this area just to our right used to be the cultural center of the

city of down once known for its core, its music for its vibrant society for the culture. as well as a merchant hub during even during the soviet times. and all of that seems to be gone within hearing from the a very government, the president saying that this is a victory that they have achieved on the military front. but it is also a victory here that not a bullet was fired and not a single life was lost and they have gotten our time. it's worth reminding people that this is one of 3 regions surrounding country, the nagorno-karabakh region, which the armenians are going to give back to azerbaijan and their russian peacekeepers are going to move in human rights groups in peru say that are being cases of police brutality in the capital during recent protests, have been demonstrations taking place since the forward president martin vickery was impeached earlier this month. but in a sanctions, has more from lima, writes on my police in plain clothes, arresting protesters rights groups,

and identified officers. members of a police intelligence unit called dragged, handcuffed, and tamed dozens of students during protests that turned violent last week. numbers forces to fight police blindfolded and threw him into an empty room where he was held for 3 days as hero of the year. i was attacked, they left me in that room without food and water. i know there was someone else but don't know who it was because we were kids separated. the only hit me a bit, but i could put up with that. the rights groups say that the tensions were arbitrary and that the harassment hasn't stopped us. luis fernando says he's been getting strange phone calls and now we know that other prosecutors are being harassed and threatened, as well as a un mission for human rights. when talking to families of victims and investigating whether human rights were violated, amnesty international says police fired deadly ammunition and beat protesters

unnecessarily. police say they did not commit any abuses during the protest. they denied there was excessive use of force or shooting metal pellets at protesters, but doctors say otherwise was he says his brother lucio initially treated at the protest is still in hospital awaiting surgery to extract pellets from his brain, shoulder, and chest and infirmaries, i guess on them about it. he has 3 metallic objects. we believe pellets. the one in the brain is dangerous to operates. i am angry for him and for all of the youngsters wounded when just protesting. police went out to kill. is interim president. i asked the says the crimes won't go unpunished. the attorney general is investigating socrates, predecessor manuel, maybe not. and 2 of his former deputies for possible involvement in homicide and forced disappearance and the abuse of power,

his prime minister and that are flooded out denies any wrongdoing on the that they're on the chief is also on the defensive, say in his officers aided police in controlling the protests, even though 2 students died and more than 200 were wounded, including some who are still in hospital. and the question now is, who gave the orders at the end of scientists as to how fast the sea levels rising while scientists hope a new earth observation satellite will help answer that question. it launched late on saturday as part of a joint project between nasa and the european space agency. has more it's developers say the ocean measuring satellite sentinel 6 will provide irrefutable evidence of how the seas are rising due to human caused global warming. the satellite, which resembles a large gadget festooned orbiting doghouse,

can quantify ocean rise to within a centimeter. the main concept is that has a radar altimeter on board, and it, it fires a pulse of the ocean surface and you measure how it takes that also to go out and come back. and from that you can him for the height of the satellite above the ocean surface. and so when you take the height of the satellite and you subtract off that radar measurement of the height of the satellite above the ocean surface, then you have a measurement of the height of the ocean. about one 3rd of ocean rises due to thermal expansion. water that absorbs heat, expands like mercury in an old fashioned thermometer. the rest is due to the melting of glaciers and ice caps in greenland, the antarctic and elsewhere. so these 2 elements to get america would be the product of sentiment 6, very relevant for a, for the society, for the intergovernmental panel on climate change has projected that oceans could

rise more than 60 centimeters by 2100 endangering millions. if not billions of people who live near the sea or in storm prone areas, scientists working on the sentinel 6 program say it will provide an ambiguous data to grab the public and policymakers attention. it was going up, we can show people the data, and i like to think that, that most people out there can still be implore him by looking at, you know, real data. it's not some cloud model that's predicting what's going to happen. it's actually measurements of what's really changed, what's changing, and why climate is changing because we're putting c o 2 and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. and we need to start moving on to renewable energy sources and

stop burning fossil fuels. cental six's mission will last 5 years, a messenger in outer space bearing a message to humanity that it must change its ways. rob reynolds al-jazeera. well still ahead in sport. the corner bar is pandemic has canceled test events and tonight qualifies. but here in caps, all the hard work continues as it pays to host the world cup in 2 years' time. i've worked at al-jazeera english since its launch, as a principal presenter. and as a co-sponsor with any breaking news story, want to hear from those people who would normally not get the forces heard on the international news channel. one moment i'll be very proud of when we covered the polish quake, the 25th to a terrible natural disaster. and the story that needed to be told from the heart of the affected area to believe that to tell the people story was very important at

the time, jumped into the stream. and julian 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 to this stream. on out is there you're already warm. welcome back. time for sport to his far so health. thank you so much. football's

biggest tournaments will make its middle east debut in 2020. the world cup kicks off in catarrh in exactly 2 years time. but the coronavirus pandemic has affected preparations for both teams and organizers. joanna gash reports. this giant tent structure is al bait stadium. in arabic, it translates to the house and will be home to 60000 fans for the opening game of the 22 inch to world cup. if the current virus pandemic lifts in time, the global health crisis hit, just as cattle was finalizing, its preparations overnight in the pandemic has affected the entire world. it didn't only affect the sporting industry. our preparations have, luckily, not been affected by the pandemic. and we see the pandemic as well as well under control here in qatar. so that's a, that's a very good thing. qualifies around the world, have been delayed, and test events have been canceled. but even if the virus is still with us in 2

years time, cattle has now had experience of holding a tournament in a bio security bubble. the asian champions league is currently underway here across several venue's came to coming from abroad. and also the teams from more than the 2 clubs from would go through a systematic approach where they tested 1st before entering. got that show those going for abroad, tested in the airport. then they got to the hotel and, and then they went for, there was a lot of the testing. and then we do have a pita testing for all every 3 to these. it's been a very different experience for us from the get go. we, when we got on the floor, we had to obviously rather face mosques and then stride where we had or around our faces the whole than our floor. we came to the host. so what the stuff we've been quarantining to, i think 2 weeks already. so everyone here in the bubble has been in the bubble for 2 weeks before us arriving australian club,

perth glory tested out the education city world cup stadium in their 1st group match and were impressed that stadium probably the best day off biden. i think we were the 1st ones to use a saw. you know, you could have got a better pitch, the changing rooms, you know, the other side, the pitch, the benches, all top top, but still it's bybee 8 stadiums are already finished and some have already held matches. but the hard work continues to open. like here at the salle stadium which will host the final on december the 18th 2022, where the new world champions will be crowned with 2 years to go and coded 19 vaccines on the way. organizers remain confident that the 1st middle east world cup will be safe and successful. joining us rasika al-jazeera. now for more on the story, we're joined by andy richardson, his live from outside the stadium. so andy,

10 years in 2 more to go, how are preparations going yet still going to look very different here in a couple of years time, isn't it? so organizers saying that say hey, we are at this position and 90 percent of the infrastructure for this world. cup is already finished through the stadiums are open hosting matches a couple more, including the albert stadium. finishing just white seems to be officially in or great seed. now been quite a journey since pfieffer announced to the middle east will be hosting its 1st world cup here. in qatar in 2010, now a long time ago, along the way, we've had incidents like the 27 seen blockade imposed on cats or by saudi arabia,, the u.a.e. bahrain in egypt. but organizers managed to negotiate their way through those complexities. and we're in a position now where all 8 of the stadiums that are going to be used will be finished with a year to go before the big kickoff in 2020, to see the big wildcard. of course, it has been coronavirus getting away from that. and the issue is that it has got

a huge amount of experience in hosting tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of visiting fans. they had a taste of it last year with the club world cup. but $22020.00 be completely different, obviously. now, next year, this time, next year in december, and that's a key dates. cats will be hosting involving 22 countries, and that's hopefully going to be a big chance to work out getting how to get large numbers of fans in through the airports, getting them in and out of stadiums safely testing out the new metro train system and the hopefully then we've got some sort of sense of normality because everybody here is hoping that by 2022, it will be the 1st sort of truly global sporting get together in a post coronavirus world. and how is this tournament going to compare with other role caps have been hosted in the past? it's going to be compacts in so many different ways. it's going to last just 28 days, as opposed to 32,

we saw in russia. that's because of its november december window into trying minimize the impacts on, on european leagues. and the scale of the tournament stadium here. the biggest distance between any 2 stadiums in cats or is 75 kilometers. and for the 1st 12 days of the tournament, you can have 4 matches a day kickoff that one for 7 and 10 pm. so the expectation is that some fans could go to more than one game a day. and it is good news for the teams as well because on their rest days, rather than having to travel thousands of miles as they have in the past, they can be an essential venue for the duration of the tournament. start very difference. what we see in russia and what we saw in brazil, very difference will see at the next world cup in 2026, which will be hosted across 3 countries. ok, and the richardson reporting live for us. thanks so much for now. now to major league soccer and nashville, beat miami to reach the m.l.s. cup playoffs. miami were heading into the game without star striker gonzalo away
