'd another swing at a missed for the trump campaign as a judge throws out his latest lawsuit this one challenging pennsylvania's postal votes. hello, i'm adrian for the get. this is al jazeera live from doha, also coming up. the u.s. approves an antibody drug for corona virus, as the number of cases surges past 12000000 across the country. protests as talks the congress building in guatemala as anger grows of a bunch of cuts for health services and education. desperate for food and aid,

we report from sudan where thousands of refugees who fled the fighting in ethiopia are getting help. president donald trump, a suffered another court loss in his attempt to overturn the results of the us presidential election. a district court judge in pennsylvania has thrown out a lawsuit filed by the trump campaign, which sought to exclude millions of mail in ballots. in the states, the judge issued a scathing ruling saying it had failed to provide evidence of voter fraud. but from campaign is now lost to withdrawn dozens of civil lawsuits and go live now to washington d.c. out to 0 as mike hanna is there might this case, one of dozens of similar lawsuits filed by the trump campaign. none of which the so far been successful. indeed, adrian,

the count is more than 30 since the elections brought in various key swing states. but that's very significant because it's a ruling by a federal judge and also significant because of the extremely scathing language he used. he likened the trump appeal to a frankenstein monster which had been put together haphazardly. he made very clear that he believed there was no grounds for the trump claim whatsoever. and this makes it very unlikely that it can go on an appeal, given that there are no grounds. nevertheless, strums lawyer says personal lawyer, rudy giuliani, who argued the case before the judge says he wants to take it to the next level, the 3rd district and from there to the supreme court. but very difficult to see how he is going to achieve that. and very significantly to the senate for pennsylvania . pat toomey within the last hour has issued a statement saying that the judge in this particular case, matthew brand, is a lifelong republican,

with no legal bias whatsoever. he considers the whole matter. now closed the legal position over and he congratulated president elect joe biden, and it's administration looking forward. he says, to working with them in from congress. meanwhile, coronavirus cases continue to rise across the country. california has imposed some strict restrictions. the u.s. has approved an antibody drug for corona virus treatment. the president himself has been on a golf course. well indeed, yes. on friday alone, there were more than 195000 new confirmed cases of corona virus. that's the highest ever single day number. since the pandemic began in the united states, the number of those infected has now risen above 12000000 by far the greatest in much of the world. so certainly this of great concern, particularly as the thanksgiving holiday,

is coming up next week. and many people traveling despite health officials, pleading for people to stay at home and not travel during this holiday weekend. president trump though, well, he began a virtual conference with the g. 20 leaders early this morning and then he left it would appear prematurely to sending out a tweet on the way to the golf club, saying that all they want to talk about was coated. so that president trump and self has issued no statements about this massive increase in the cases of corona virus appears to have shown no public concern whatsoever. it has been tweeting in the course of the night, but it's all about the court cases. nothing about the fact that the u.s. has reached the significant mark of more than 12000000 confirmed cases of coronavirus, or serious mike hanna reporting live there from washington. mike, many thanks. indeed, as mike was saying, that corona virus infections in the u.s. of now surpassed 12000000 cases that's on top of over a quarter of

a 1000000 deaths more than any other country. california has imposed a statewide curfew limiting nonessential travel to daytime. and the u.s. food and drug administration has issued emergency approval for generals antibody therapy, which was used to treat president trump when he was ill with the virus. the agency said the treatment should be used for miles to moderate cases of covert 19. president trump as often in correctly described the 3rd as a cure all for our souther is a professor of epidemiology meds at columbia university. she joins us now live from new york via skype good to have you with us. once again, this antibody drug, is it going to make any difference in the fight against the corona virus in the u.s.? well, it will make some difference. i think obviously we have not head down sufficient number of treatments for people who come down with caught with 1000 and having this antibody, evident, or for

a subset of people who have her go in 1000. those who have mild, moderate disease will of course be at least an option for some people who are fortunate enough to be able to get this medication as an epidemiologist. what do you make of california's restrictions? well, i think it tells us senate tells certainly the people of california and others there, then the magnitude that again in the united states currently and in california and putting in place a curfew demonstrates the concern. certainly the concern by the governor of california. i think that curfew, in of itself is not sufficient. i think it's 11 piece of the parts are. i think it's important that if you will hopefully decrease the numbers of people who kundra be together. it will probably lead to more people staying at home, staying put, not traveling up with other people outside their home. so i think it will be of

value certainly. but i think it needs to be combined with the other measures that we know work, for example, wearing masks all the time as well as congregating and socializing with people in one's own house, although not beyond that. so i think it's a one more measure that the governor and i felt compelled to put in place because of the concern about what's going on now in this country regarding go with 19, obviously, president elect biden has his plans to tackle the pandemic in the united states for can't do anything until he, until he's sworn in as president is time at the moment being squandered. i think that's a great worry because i think what needs to happen is that what, what would be ideal is there's a new with transition and that there is an ability between the individuals who are

now overseeing the covered response to be able to meet with the new administration to put together this smooth transition and to allow for mobilization and to put in place, hopefully the new and more effective measures to control orders. but then again, this country, i think delaying, and this period of a standstill is, is not, is not to the benefit of anyone in the united states. so 12000000 cases, more than 12000000 cases. now the united states over a quarter of a 1000000 deaths have got thanksgiving. this week when families will be getting together and things going to get worse before they get better in the u.s. . i think there's great concern and their u.s. centers for disease control and prevention really almost peed with americans to stay put to defer, to avoid traveling this year and also avoid getting together in large numbers. i

think it will be vitally important that people celebrate thanksgiving in a very different way, all new with individuals they live with in one household and to do other communication virtually. i think the great concern is that as people move on as they travel as households mix with each other, that there is a recipe for disaster. and we're very concerned what's going to happen, what you'll see beyond thanksgiving. and due to this, and this, this holiday and the fact that many people who are in disability we, charlie, i think are beginning to year some news that some people are canceling, their travel plans and are heeding the call by the c.d.c. the state. but, and to stay safe. it's always good to talk to professor many thanks. indeed for being with us. thank you. my question. police have clashed with anti couple of

protesters, and quite a modern after hundreds stormed the congress building and set it on fire up to gas was fired to clear the demonstration, which was led by university students after turned violent. there's widespread anger at the new budget which protests to say that say disenfranchised as poor. and indigenous people as heroes are solow amperes, he is monitoring the situation from colombia. he explains why protests are likely to continue. a number of protesters were able to storm into what the my last congress burn part of the building, but flames seen shooting out of a window. security forces move then fired tear gas on the protesters that's carried around downtown guatemala city and continue to confront the police all the seen as part of the growing them and stray sions against president 100 day and

lawmakers and what sparked them is the fact that they have passed a budget deal on ways wednesday night that cuts many benefits for regular guatemalans while increasing benefits for lawmakers, which has seriously angered a lot of people and also say that a priority is a serious of a project that will profit according to the protesters. a private company is close to the government, vice president has offered his resignation, calling on the president to do the same. he said ford the good of the country. and now this goes beyond this particular bill. it's clear that there is widespread rage and the country also the fact that the congress has pushed this bill while the country is still dealing with back to back hurricanes that have created a widespread devastation in guatemala. it's clear that the protests will continue

in coming days and will continue to put more pressure on president john metairie and his administration. if you rejected an african union offer to mediate in the conflict in the old and gray region, the government launched an offensive against the team very people's liberation front 2 weeks ago. aid agencies say around 2000 refugees have arrived in neighboring sudan every day of the civil war. and reports from got to reach states many bear the scars of the horrors they've escaped. since he arrived in this refugee camp in sudan's got out of state 5 days ago, haile will be gabriel has been hoping to have his own properly treated. he says shop will hit his hand while he was fleeing from soldiers in ethiopia as northern region. but he's now lost 2 fingers. i was at the farm where i work when i started seeing people running, i didn't know what was going on, and when i went to see them, hyla says he was also hit by shock mill in his stomach. and fragments are still

lodged in his hand. it's now become infected, and he's worried he may lose it. fighting in particular region began more than 2 weeks ago, when the regional to great people's liberation front, launched an attack on a military base. the government responded by launching an offensive that forced more than 35000 people to flee to neighboring sudan. this camp was uninhabited, but sudan's government has reopened it to cope with the 3rd, an influx. her and her 2 children arrived here, after running away from their home and walking for 10 days to cross the border. at night armed men came to my house and threatened us and told us we should leave immediately or we will be killed. and so i took my turn children and what i could carry more than 15000 refugees live in this camp. many tell stories of brutal killings and long journeys to escape. if he appears government has imposed a communications blackout and blocks access to the region since the start of the fighting rights groups say civilians have been targeted. integrate,

the united nations says the killings could amount to work crimes. while not all of those displaced have witnessed the attacks of this recount. they say the stories they heard from family members and relatives were enough to make them come here, rather than staying back home. and those who say they witnessed with their own eyes, people being slaughtered and killed, say they doubt their memory will ever fade from their minds. tell a home his wife and 2 children were among the 1st to arrive in the camp, fleeing from a khadra. he says the journey took them nearly 5 days and they came with little of what they own to live with. we lived in the suburbs and i had only heard of the fighting back then. but then people came armed with machetes and nerves, and it was chaos from the telephone says he doesn't know which side the people who came to his hometown belong to. because they were dressed as civilians and 2 still green, who want to have the comfort of a secure home. he now has to explain that their lives have changed and they face an uncertain future. he will morgan of his era and for sugar,

the bar of state. look at the weather update next here on al-jazeera, then i was sure there were demonstrations once again turned violent as people demanded the president, quits and political prisoners are released at 25 years after boston has leaders signed the peace agreement. the war is over, but the tensions that led to it on the helo, just like in europe and asia winters showing itself rather more office in this line of cloud. here is the division between colder air and still fairly warm and humid, which suggests a big thunderstorms running through tennessee valley northern head of it is going to be cold enough. a snow in toronto, the following weather, briefly quite quiet,

to see the sunshine dominate. i think temps might start to rise to wrong too, as all the got rain, sleet, or snow on sunday, and then probably just rain showers on monday for it cools down. if it chooses, it's fairly consistently fairly cold and that cold air will reach new york and d.c. later on monday, following weather and surprise, nice and snows far south as colorado, on the high ground rain on the coast of the pacific, but only in oregon. but yet, further south, the concentration on heavy rain in central america, in the immediate future is more light because to rica and panama. but this blue here indicates rather a persistent onshore breeze and it's humid weather. so over the existing flood damage in honduras parts across amala, there is more rain to come on monday. so significant rains for a good part of brazil, but for the southwest of brazil and for the year acquire in paraguay is dry

court judge in pennsylvania has thrown out a lawsuit filed by the trump campaign, which sought to exclude millions of mail in ballots in the state. a scathing ruling handed down by the judge says the most it failed to provide evidence of voter force . u.s. health officials are urging people not to travel for thanksgiving holidays that says the country supposes 12000000 active cases. meanwhile, the u.s. food and drug administration has issued an emergency approval for were gentlewoman's antibody therapy and police and clashed with antigovernment protesters in guatemala. after hundreds stormed the congress building and set it on fire. officers fired tear gas to clear the demonstration, which was led by university students after to turn violent. nationwide demonstrations are taking place across chile. demonstrates is that of modding the release of hundreds of people arrested during protests for social reform. over the past year. latin america editor lucien newman reports from santiago this is 23 year

old student give will your, at a demonstration last year in santiago at protests. he would act as a kind of fire man, running after burning hot tear gas canisters fired by police and extinguishing them in water mixed with bicarbonate of soda. but at another protest, last december, he was apprehended by riot police and jailed for months alongside hardened criminals under preventive detention measures. he's now under house arrest, awaiting trial for allegedly carrying molotov cocktails. whenever you're out of the city of at the police station 4 officers made me turn my back to the wall while 2 others searched my backpack. there's one i clearly heard them say, let's see how we set the sop, right? i could smell petrol, and i heard the sound of glass bottles, which i wasn't carrying. one might be inclined to dismiss his claims of being

trained if they weren't so prevalent. judges and even prosecutors have found evidence of police set ups, including edited or destroyed videos. the idea is to justify the suspects arrest, up to 2 years, preventive detention. and finally, a harsh sentence for people claiming that when we spoke to the lawyer, he told us, you know, even in the provinces they condemned prisoners without proof. so it's better to cut a deal outside of the supreme court. families of nearly $700.00, mostly young men, under preventive detention or house arrest are spearheading a nationwide campaign on behalf of those. they consider political prisoners hundreds like modise, which have had no dissident rights in jail. since march, and that it's not just our question, i don't think the permit prison visits, but actually grant amnesty. but my testers who have been imprisoned and acts of

violence and the presence of us get very clearly that the circumstances while you consider the government says it's tantamount to good morning violence with impunity . in chile, there are no political prisoners. we're in a democracy and it's the courts that determine if there is preventive detention. it's not the government, but some human rights organizations disagree. be some particular simple of the political imprisonment. always seeks to punish those who rebel against the system as well as stopping others from participating actively in social protests. this is done in order to neutralize them through fear of the consequences. dougal, your insists, those who fight to social justice deserve their freedom. those on top who live in comfort and with privileges. why can't they think of others? we don't want to live the high life, but we want to live decently. massive demonstrations for premier, for people like,

you know, you are growing, but given the violence, it's also been associated with many protests patting an amnesty law for the so-called heroes of chile's uprising will be a hard sell you see in human al-jazeera, sente, al the global pandemic is dominating the virtual g 20 summit hosted by saudi arabia . leaders of the world's 20 biggest economies are expected to pledge support to poor countries to help pay for the distribution of vaccines medicines and tests. on diplomatic editor james bays reports. 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. and 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 terrorists, 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 a missed opportunity to improve their tarnished reputation. they put on a fly past over riyadh, but the normal pomp, formal dinners and face to face meetings,

haven't taken place because of the virtual and truncated nature of this year's event. sitting next to the king as he opened the summit, his son, crown prince mohammed bin, some man, as the man in day to day charge of the kingdom, human rights. campaigners say he should be held responsible for much of the civilian death toll in the war. in yemen for the death of the journalist, jamal khashoggi, and for the continued repression inside saudi arabia, during what's been described as a counter summit on human rights in the country, the sister of imprisoned humanitarian worker abdul rahman al saud han described what happened when she went public about his detention hosted on twitter, whereas my brother and the moment i did that, i started to receive threats. saying if you say one more word, 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 jamesburg days out zira at the united nations. i source says that it was behind a rocket attack in afghanistan's capital kabul at least 8 people were killed and dozens injured when more than 20 rockets landed in residential areas near the green zone, where many embassies are based. the attack happened just hours before u.s. . secretary of state mike pompei. oh, was due to hold talks with afghan government, the taliban, the go. see it is in 0. stephanie deca has more on those talks in doha might compare wrapped up saturday with meeting the taliban delegation involved in intra

afghan talks. you had met an hour earlier with the afghan government delegation. these are talks that were new, were rated 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 whole still stuck on the technicalities of what kind of islamic law will govern the govern the framework of these tools. 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. of course you also met the path or is it me or he had a lunch with him and also met with the deputy prime minister to be discussed issues like iran. this is a ministration that's been very much anti iran in a country as 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 to administration 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 pump a oh, 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. it's been 25 years since rival ethnic leaders signed a peace deal that would end the war a quarter of a century old. many living in the politically divided country on the day in agreement or tweaks under the deal is preserved as a single stage. that is divided into 2 parts. under symons reports the war in bosnia herzegovina, 3 of it left more than 100000. people dead. 1000000 displaced half the country's small population. there were atrocities

srebrenica the biggest, more than $8000.00 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, a failing economy, corruption in the ruling elites, poor education, high unemployment in these type of state, in the wife that we all living as a failed state is the failed. internationalism, that interaction, if you let the field people won't 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 of rule under a weak central government. david owen now, lot of in a british politician,

was the european union's into majoring and he failed to get a peace deal. he says bosnians need to make the dayton agreement work. the people have to live together in both where it's given or 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 is stopping, was rescued 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 bosnia. this is a man who doesn't understand the complexities of both screen and i think it's

going to be helpful and hopeful that 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 anyway. he should really after 25 years, find a way to stand out to stand on our own feet. no one won the war, and the ethnic divisions he created are frozen within the politics of peace. 25 years on. there's still a shadow cost on both and his future. andrew symonds al-jazeera it's good to have you with us. hello. this is al-jazeera adrian from again here in doha, the headlines district judge in pennsylvania has thrown out the last.
