attack. it came just hours before the u.s. secretary of state mike arrived in qatar is capital doha. he's talking to both afghan government and taliban negotiators involved in peace talks, there shows richie's and security that are just pressed. yes, again, so that the sort of weaponry gets into the city. and secondly, it's part of the trends were greater violence in the city is mainly assassinations . martin, it's all car bombs, even at a time when taleban have said that they won't launch attacks on incentives i, i saw has been behind recent attacks on the capital. gunmen stormed a couple university. 3 weeks ago. at least 22 people were killed. the government says in saturday's attack, fighters fired the rockets from the back of 2 trucks. it's investigating how the

vehicles managed to enter the city undetected. posing more questions about the government's ability to keep the capital city secure. contrary, i'll just say of kabul al-jazeera, stephanie decker has more now from the country capital doha, on those talks taking place between the afghan government and taliban negotiators. my pompei are wrapped up saturday with meeting the taliban delegation involved in intra afghan talks with met an hour earlier with the afghan government delegation. these are top of the world who greeted back in september, the u.s. secretary of state where he was here for that. as well, but it's been a difficult process moving forward, the told still stuck on the technicalities of what kind of islamic law will govern the govern the framework of these 2. i think the message certainly for my pompei will be that they are keen to get the 2 sides to sit down to really get to the difficult issues when it comes to a long lasting cease fire and

a power sharing agreement between the 2 sides are of course he also met with qatar's emir. he had a luggage with him and also met with the deputy prime minister to be discussed. issues like are all, this is ministration that's been very much an anti iran. and a cutter is a country that has very good relations with iran. it's also one of the issues when it comes to the gulf blockade the blockade in countries demanding that qatar cuts ties with iran, something they have so far, refused to do. this is also, did mr. ation that has said it wanted to perhaps get some movement on the lifting of the blockade that certainly at the moment hasn't happened, not to the full extent anyway. and of course, also in a way my pompei out of course, and u.s. president donald trump not having conceded defeat but patters. amir has already called the president joe biden, to congratulate him on his way. now

ethiopia's government has rejected attempts by the african union to mediate in the conflict. in northern ethiopia. the government launched an offensive against the to gripe people's liberation front 2 weeks ago. and since both sides have accuse each other of killing civilians and as strikes and indiscriminate attacks, the fighting has triggered what united nations is calling a full scale humanitarian crisis. it's called on the warring sides to halt fighting immediately so that more aid can be delivered to people who need it and to refugees, so that refugee safe zones can also be established. meanwhile, an official from the tegra region has accused government forces of wanton killing. they say and said the international community must help to do more to help them. it's also accusing, neighboring eritrea of supporting the ethiopian government offensive. meanwhile, the government in addis ababa and the military have repeatedly denied targeting civilians claiming to only strike t.p.i. left targets. our resources, i mean very much interested in one thing,

killing of civilians, wanton bombardment of boom and of towns. in fact, this has, of course, is a contingent of trucks meant to export to transport goods and items that they steal from from the towns the temporarily occupied. it's rather strange sort of working because with the sources in the destruction of private property in many parts of the record in the number of civilians who are being displaced is member really or have a morgan has more on that situation. there from a camp on sudan's border with ethiopia, the biggest need when you listen to the refugees here at the camp in iraq will be,

they say that they need shelter. that's because, again, most of them have been transported from the border point that's in a state which is neighboring. got a lot of state and were brought here by that by the thousands 1000 at least transported every day. and so this camp was not prepared to receive those refugees . so people here say that the 1st thing they need is shelter. the other thing that they say they need most is health care. they say that many of them have been walking for days to cross the border from ethiopia into sudan, and then to get to one day crossing a river. and then coming here. so they say that they need medical access for medical health care access, something that they say is lacking because of the number of people who are at the camps. they say that yes, there is a health facility and there's water being provided and there is food being provided . but compared to the number of refugees that are actually here, that's not enough. i'm giving calling on aid organizations to provide more now aid organizations, mostly u.n. agencies say that they're coordinating with the government of sudan to try to respond to the situation. but they say that they expect up to $200000.00 in the

coming 6 months or so. they are concerned that the influx of refugees will be too much to respond to in such a short time. now hundreds of refugees and migrants have been transferred to a makeshift camp on a military site in spain's canary islands follows a record surging people arriving by sea from africa which is overwhelmed. the local government car lag has more it's the tourist season on spain's canary islands. but despite the coronavirus pandemic and the lack of visitors, these apartments and hotels haven't been left empty. they're being used to house a growing number of migrants arriving in record numbers from africa. bishop version is all there is road. but the problem is, was not good for us to do. so we address it in the address. it's an ultimate food that is well without also the best. to have a family, the government forgot to write letters all of a ghost written word to bill tell us. at least $18000.00 people have landed on the

shores this year alone. more than half of that in just the past month. and that's put a strain on government facilities and left thousands stranded in the main port without basic services. yeah, right now it's also angered local authorities. and many of the island's residents who've criticized the government's slow response was this people see not being here. but what can we do? the government says it's urgently setting up makeshift camps on military sites in the gulf, which almost about even we think that by the end of this year we will have temporary camps to house $7000.00 migrants set up. this is the 1st solution. it blames the increase in arrivals on e.u. agreements with turkey, libya and morocco that have stopped many migrants using established routes. the

interior minister has held talks with his moroccan counterpart and the foreign minister is to meet u.n. officials ahead of a visit to senegal. that's become one of the main points of departure for those willing to risk a perilous journey in the hope of a new life on the european shores. car leg al-jazeera. well, now covert 19 is expected to dominate a highly unusual g. 20 summit in more ways than one. pandemic means the event is now virtual, although saudi arabia is technically the host and tackling the virus, is almost certain to be the topic of discussion. the main topic of discussion among swat leaders, but have also been calls to boycott anything in protest against saudi arabia's human rights record. our diplomatic editor, james bass, has more. this was very different from the normal g 20 summit world leaders meeting virtually because of coded 19 with the pandemic. and the economic fallout from it at the center of all the discussions. this has been an

extraordinary year. the covert, 19 and demick has been an unprecedented shock that affected the entire world within a short period of time, causing global economic and social losses. our peoples in economies are still suffering from this shock. back in 20082009, the g 20 led efforts to get out of the last global recession. some say they haven't shown the same leadership this time. and the u.n. secretary general antonio could tell us, has been calling for them to extend the debt relief program they passed earlier this year. and to increase funding so that vaccines can reach the poorest people on earth for saudi arabia, the host of the summit. this will probably be seen as

you're going to regret it. even than any us citizen and living in the united states . i was still receiving threats, and i was also threatened that i'm going to be thrown in the sewer system with my brother. this is likely to be president trump's last ever international summit. his 1st foreign visit in 2017 was to saudi arabia, and he's never criticized the kingdom's human rights record. the royal family will know that it's likely to be very different when president biden takes office. james pays out zira at the united nations. it out there at live from london, much more still ahead. growing warnings about deteriorating mental health calls for an action to help those who are just clinging on and frozen in time. archaeologists uncover 2 more pompei volcano, volcano victims 2000 years after vesuvius erupted,
