a law enforcement operation against what it calls a treasonous group. then you're going to get, i don't know much about them that they do not show up. our morale is high. we're ready to enforce the rule of law for the sake of the fallen. we will prevail over those who had betrayed them. we have another mission, namely to safeguard the renaissance dam until it's fully completed and operational . this building has been set up to receive fighters from the tea, grab people's liberation front, who've surrendered ahead of prime minister abi admits wednesday deadline for the t.p.o. left to put down its weapons. government forces here say this man was among those who surrendered. we are being treated well. we are not enemies, we are all fellow ethiopians. we are all brothers. i hope this will come to an end and peace prevails across the country. as fighting continues in northern ethiopia for a 3rd consecutive week, the team leader has reiterated his rejection of the ultimatum. he says, his fighters will continue their struggle against the federal government until the

amount of people that work in the informal economy in mexico, that's between 50 and 60 percent in the region as a whole, talking here about latin america. it's more than half of the work that's done in the region is in that informal economy. and what that means is people don't have steady jobs, they don't have that safety net. and so they have to go out on the street. they have to go out to work whether they like it or not. a lot of people have put it to us when we're talking to them. even i get coded, or i go or i die of hunger. so that's not a very palatable choice. to many people and it doesn't help to stop the sort of chain of infection. so many people having to go out another problem that's true for mexico and across the region as well. is health problems in mexico, 3 quarters of the population, the adult population suffer from obesity or being overweight. and that's echoed in several other countries in latin america. also a lot of diabetes, a lot of junk food being eaten in this region because it's cheaper basically than eating other food president and that,

demanding protection and stronger penalties for domestic violence, rape, and sexual harris meant. but despite growing awareness, violence against women is on the rise, particularly domestic violence. and this has been put to a living extreme during the pandemic here and in practically all of latin america. and while the government and law makers promise that things would take action legislation that could make the difference continues to sit at the bottom of the pile. in part it's now in mexico 10 film. aside to permitted every day, women march to demand in the troop unity. everybody cornmeal also that i mean i live in fear of going out and never returning to live to see my mother and family. that's what living in mexico is like for a woman. yet from one end of latin america to the other, women are standing up to say enough's. you see in human al-jazeera, santiago, saddam's,
