al-jazeera understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the wound . so no matter when you will be using the current of that matter to you. this is al-jazeera over there on the clock. this is the news our live from doha. coming up in the next, 60 minutes, b., if european prime minister orders a final offensive on tikrit and announces a humanitarian corridor to help those fleeing the fighting. the turkish court hands down hundreds of life sentences linked to the 2016 failed coup, accusing song of trying to kill president, one angry in france, paris police investigating a legend, racist assault by the officers the country morning. thousands in argentina bid

farewell to football legend. diego maradona, his body is now like state and as the world of sport pays its respects to marathon and we look back at ease career, and what made him such a special football player so then the ethiopian prime minister has ordered a final offensive on the northern territory region and says a humanitarian corridor will be opened to help those fleeing the conflict. it has warned residents to stay indoors after ordering the army to move in on the regional capital of meccano. a government imposed deadline for 2 ground forces to surrender expired on wednesday, has been nearly 3 weeks of fighting with hundreds killed and tens of thousands displaced. the u.n. is warning of critical age shortages in the region. it says that fuel cash and food

are all running out, and many of those displaced have already fled over the border to neighboring sudan . him organise their where we are is a camp that's not far from the sudan is here border. and it's where more than 15000 refugees have arrived over the past 3 weeks. all of them saying that they're escaping shelling that they've seen people being slaughtered, that they've left family members behind and came here for their safety. they say that because of the lack of telecommunication and because of lack of access to many parts of to greed, they can't confirm whether their relatives who they have left behind are still alive or not. but most of them say that when they came here, they had to wait for more than a week to be able to access aid and aid aid groups and international organizations . say that that's largely because this influx of refugees happened. all of a sudden they were not expecting it for there. for example, the world food program said that it had to get food from other programs. it has in the country to be able to supply aid for those people who are here more than 40000 . refugees have already crossed into the sudan into the sedan side of the border

here and got out of state as well as neighboring desolate states. now the biggest challenge when it comes to providing aid for those refugees, is the fact that most of the roads are very difficult to access. logistically, let's not forget that sadam had a very exceptional flood season just a couple of months ago where most of the roads were damaged. so aid groups say that logistically speaking, moving many of their songs to this area in response with the rise of the refugees would be very challenging and their concerns that they would be more than $200000.00 refugees in sudan in the next 6 months later, going to show that they are trying to step up so that no refugee is left in need. let's hear now from malcolm where, who's in the cañon, comfortless nairobi, and has more or more, if you can. prime minister said the serb about this conflict issued the ultimatum on sunday and said that to graham fighters had 3 days to surrender,

lay down their arms and head of what he said would be a final salt on the final assault on the regional capital of mackay which is a city of about half a 1000000 people now since then, we've heard conflicting claims from both sides about how close the federal forces are to the city 70 kilometers 50 kilometers, even as close as 30 kilometers. but we haven't yet heard any reports of shelling on the city itself, but this is something that rights organizations have expressed. grave concern about because it's such a dense population of civilians. they're saying be very dangerous if there's heavy fighting there at all. and in case of amnesty international said that shelling of the city could even potentially constitute a war crime. the statement from the prime minister of the prime minister's office has said that if at all government started giving out humanitarian assistance, food, water, and medicines in the areas that it controls. it said it's setting up for camps for the displaced people. now the u.n. said that about more than 800000,

people in the region were dependent on humanitarian assistance. even before this conflict began and estimates an additional 1000000 are going to need assistance because many of the people have been displaced by the fighting in some of the smaller towns over the last few weeks. because it's not. the u.n. says it's not possible for their partner organizations to access these people. all these places that it's not known exactly at this moment. how many people need help, or where they are. turkish court has handed down hundreds of life sentences for those accused of plotting to overthrow president 4 years ago. as one of the biggest cases related to the failed coup with 475 suspects. more than 250 people died during the attempted takeover on july the 15th in 2016. parliament and presidential buildings were fired upon in the turkish military chief was taken hostage. taking says u.s. based political figures for to look good and co. the attack with a faction of the military. that's a charge that he denies. nearly $80000.00 people have since been arrested or cuter

links with google. and more than 130000, including military personnel have been sacked or suspended from jobs in the public sector. let's get some reaction from turkey starting with relatives of some of those who were killed. so we believe adequate punishments were given in accordance with existing laws. we think that justice has been served. the state did not leave martyrs, families, veterans blood on the ground. this trial of 4 years was pointless. this court passed its verdicts as if only approving the prosecutor's notion without keeping any statements or evidence in consideration. we are not happy with this verdict. we will carry it to the appropriate places. i want the turkish people to be sensitive about this. while sitting on the transom evidence from the stumble. it is the biggest trial among more than 280 cases that have been filed following to

failed coup attempt back in 2016. almost 270 of them have been concluded. there's a verdict for each of them, but a court of custody is waited for an approval. but this, today's trial, which is the high profile one, that will be setting an example, because so far, all those trials, of course, named as trials. and the defendants have been named as being members of colonist group or having organic ties with mr. fair to law, u.s. space, turkish cleric. but the struggle is important because in this trial, goodland is the main defendant. he was tried in absentia, along with other 6 people who are fidgeting. some of them are fugitives. more than 300 people have life sentences, and 19 of them are charged to aggravated life sentence. there are almost 70 people who have acquitted in this trial,

which is an important development of course. but this is setting an example for the others because all those other trials were waiting this case to be finalized so that there will be in no refuses no rejections. but according to the turkish officers, at the same milestone, among the, among all the cases since the failed going to $1016.00, germany is imposing stricter long term measures as it struggles to suppress a 2nd wave of corona. virus infections from december private gatherings will be restricted to 5 people increasing to 10 during christmas. the chancellor angela merkel has warned the measures are likely to continue into january. she's urged germans to be patient. bars and restaurants are close, but schools and shops some shops remain a well michael is also pushing for a european union vote on shutting ski resorts over worries. they could become a coronavirus super spreaders, but also through his government has rejected that idea saying that winter sports

will go ahead with precautions. and france has kept its results open, although it has shut down. chairlifts. the u.k.'s prime minister johnson says, putting him into lockdown has prevented the health service from being overwhelmed, but he says, people must prepare for a hard winter. england is coming out of that national lockdown next week. we'll move to a system of regional tears. in december. there are 3 levels with different restrictions or brennan is in 7 x. in kent, which will be in $23.00. and he says there's some frustration over how the restrictions have been applied. the end of the national lockdown here in england won't come a minute too soon for many people and many livelihoods who have been impacted quite severely by the restrictions that have been imposed upon them in the past several weeks. but there are winners and losers from the new system. for example, liverpool will come out of the highest level of restriction that's tier 3 and move down to tier 2. london will stay interior to manchester will stay in tier 3,

but only 3 areas will move to the lowest level of restrictions to warm the thick of sheppey. of whites and cornwall and many other areas will move to tier 2 and tier 3 . and i mean one of them, this is kent, the garden of england, as it's described, the county of kent in the south east of england here, there will be 2 or 3. but that is causing a lot of angst here because there is a big difference in faction rates from one end of the country, county to the other. for example, ramsgate has a rolling 7 day average of around $570.00 infections per 100000 here in sevenoaks. it's just 76 per 100000 that has an impact because staying in 3 means restaurants like this bar and probably over my shoulder, the restaurant that's behind me have to stay close. they can only do take away a massive impact on their business. in the run up to christmas m.p.'s for the local area on a happy. people are also not happy,

but the government says it's absolutely necessary to stay on top of this infection . the c.e.o. of astra zeneca has told bloomberg news that the company may have to run another global trial after concerns were raised over the effectiveness of its coronavirus vaccine. it was produced in conjunction with oxford university which says some of the trial injections did not have the right amount of vaccine. manufacturing era has raised questions about the validity of the results. the university says it has discussed the problem with regulators and has agreed to complete the late stage trial with 2 groups. seneca also says its coronavirus vaccine testing has been done to the highest standard. let's hear now from chris smith, who's a consultant for a logistics cambridge university. here. she says that the area could end up working in astra zeneca favor astra zeneca. so this may be a serendipitous positive because what they found when they actually analyze their data was that they had one group of individuals who had

a 90 percent plus response group response rate to their vaccine. and another group that responded a bit less well than 60 or 70 percent. when they've analyzed the data, they have found that the individuals who got a smaller amount 1st and then a bigger dose next actually responded better than people who got to higher doses. and at face value that seems a bit paradoxical, and indeed it has got academic scratching their heads. but there are some possible explanations. in addition to it being just a typical chance, although that seems pretty unlikely. so people are now looking into this to say, well, if this does turn out to be the case, then the 100000000 doses of the vaccine that the u.k. has already prior purchased from astra zeneca. instead of treating half the population will actually have enough coverage to go through the entire population. we've known for a while that we should anticipate some degree of what is dubbed vaccine hesitancy. there was a recent survey conducted in the u.s. in which about half of respondents said that, well they offered

a vaccine tomorrow. they wouldn't take it. i think that number has shifted a bit, particularly as we've seen the responses to the trials improve, you know, the data come back and very, very high levels of response and protection conferred to some extent. i think this may take care of itself because the people who's, who tend to be most likely to say no to a vaccine initially are not those people by and large here in the highest risk groups a plenty more still ahead on news hour, including a look at the millions going hungry aid agencies in syria say they've never seen so many malnourished children. plus, we'll hear from farmers in bangladesh whose protest against a plan to repair a dam is a tragic consequences. we have support coming up to pakistan's. cricket team was placed in isolation after some players break quarantine rules. the news is

now argentina has begun 3 days of national mourning for one of its greatest ever football players to take a marathoner live pictures coming to us from one of the errors where marathoners body is lying in state at the presidential palace. millions of fans around the world have been remembering marathoners achievements just as fans at home cue to see marathon and some fans scuffle with police. as they bind up to say good bye. at least a 1000000 people are expected to pay their respects to the legendary number 10. over the coming days, organizers are struggling to manage the crowds during the problems created by the coronavirus plan and write down a died of a heart attack on wednesday, he was 60 years old. he scored that infamous hand of god goal that was on the way to winning the 986 world cup. but he did battle addiction off the field. sports stars, politicians, even the head of the catholic church, pope francis. they've all praise the man many argue is the best to ever play the

game. so let's cross over straightaway to douglas one who's live for us from one of terrorism. it's hard to overstate just what this man meant to argentinians, try and give us a flavor of the mood there now. well, i think this is a time where people here are beginning to reflect on. it's an opportunity to reflect on what he meant to the from his playing days here in argentina, to spain, to italy, and then his advantage or beyond. then these people you see around me have come the short distance from the government palace where the remains of diego maradona are lying in state. they opened the gates very early this morning. people have been trailing past in their thousands. they've just announced that they were, they've extended the time they're allowing people to do that. they were due to close the gates in the next 45 minutes or so. they're going to extend that for

another 3 hours, such as the number of people who have come from, not just one of cyrus, but around the country, and some from beyond, try to pay their last respects to the able my daughter. we've just been to one of the clubs where the club, where he started his career as a 15 year old are continues juniors, and there were people there playing and lighting candles, laying flags, putting down photographs, many of them still in tears a day after he died so yeah, a great deal of mourning, a great deal of reflection on who the matter what donna was and what he gave to the world of football right now, lying in state, the governor has one of those. so what next, what will happen when it's a few after they close those gates in 3 and a half hours time, they'll be taking the body, the coffin to the funeral home. and then some more of a friday will be the day of the funeral. a very much,

a closed affair in many people here would have liked a big state of then reminiscent of all the great sporting icons on quite frankly, of the racing driver. for instance. it's not going to be like that. it's going to be very much family fare at the request of his, his former wife, who is asking that it stays as a very private affair, but impossible to do in many ways. so it's obviously great media attention. there will be people outside the gates, the cemetery, and they will continue laying those momentos outside the anywhere really that had any relevance to diego maradona's life here in argentina. yes. in a career full of triumphs, of course, but also challenges. he was quite a controversial figure, was there? yes, certainly both on the pitch and off the pitch. i mean, since he retired from playing football, it's obviously been a great deal of investigation. talk debates about his private life, about his addiction to alcohol and various sexual trick that he

didn't didn't recognize. and then later, after a great deal of public city, it was forced to do that relationship with the media. 2 but at the same time, i think people here while recognizing that i'm much happier, are much keener to talk about what he did for them on the phone. you know which ever way you want to look at it. but people are certainly marking his passing to see the picture and the atmosphere and one of those that don't think so much coming up later this hour, we'll get more on the global response to emerge. almost. i think looting in the indian city of kolkata, which had a strong connection with the player. and we'll hear more about that. now, police in paris are investigating allegations that blanket music producer was physically attacked and racially abused by officers. this it was recorded by security cameras

inside the man's studio, he told reporters, police followed him in after seeing him outside without a face mask. 4 officers involved have been suspended. the incident comes ahead of a protest against police violence on saturday. but there are 3 people who came and attacked me and these people are supposed to protect us. i didn't do anything to deserve that. and i just want these 3 people to be punished by the law because we have a good justice system in france. it exists and i was lucky and like many others to have videos that protect me, but speak to peter allen, who is a journalist and french current affairs analyst. he joins us from, by skype, from paris, peter out of the program. so this latest incident comes after a number of investigations and other incidents of police violence. tell us more about about the context of these incidents of it happening and why i think only

people living turn on all these incidents, not just in the last few weeks the last few days, but over many years their frequent ports of police brutality, everything, term deaths in custody to actual torture, that's not strong a word they're being particularly well. we think incidents of police using their, their weapons to looting hurt criminal suspects. a lot of these incidents of intense apartheid during the current of violence, lockdowns, particularly poor areas of major cities and killing parents. the latest incidence of included or refugee being attacked on monday and on saturday. as you just reported here to a music producer put set up on a light special by 4 police really glued lines to him and put him in hospital. and

we know all this because it's videos of him on their cell. the video,, not just from c.c.t.v., but to members of the public. you take out their devices and color pictures and they put him on social media. right. it really touches look at this because right now it's curious, isn't it? because it, with this much talk of institutionalized racism in the united states, is that what's happening here? is it institutionalized racism in the police force. but certainly the accusation over the summer. clearly the events in america galvanized the black lives matter movement across the world, but also in advance. it was demonstrations over the summer during the current lockdown in chapter 25230000, people and all of them were singing in a mainly ethnic minority man, black out man who died in custody being badly beaten up. so yes, the allegation is that there is institutionalized racism in our farts

and that it's a very serious problem. and the government needs to acknowledge them beyond trying to outlaw all pictures of peace officers, you know, work raj going to say because some would say this is being sanctioned by the government in a sense because there's concern growing over this new legislation which you're alluding to that would restrict the rights of the press to publish images of the face of police in such incidents. although i've been reading now that the prime minister has promised to set up an independent commission is just very recent news to examine. this proposed more, but nevertheless in extraordinary that such legislation could be suggested. it's extraordinary. and also that there is traffic going in there. you say that they are going to set up a commission to examine the legislation. of course the legislation was passed on friday night. this is all happening very quickly in parts of national stanley,

the very large majority. that means it wasn't just a manual mccombs party that boat bought it for the republicans voted for more national voted for it. even some strong dollar search that's both remarkably. and that is going through the senate has a lot of say on it, but they're very, very loth to pass it and should be legal and general how that kind of consultative committee important to look at here. you can tell also increasing the towers while also the interior ministry is condemning the police. were regular nights of violence carried out by a please. so salute the strange situation here. some are called absurd. some would call it scandals around. i'm a great get your perspective on this depreciates it, said peter and speaking to us from paris. thank you. columbus police court summoned senior ministers to a public hearing, looking into the deaths of 4, 143,

have died since the government signed its peace accord with the group. in 2016, 3 ministers, the attorney general and other high level officials were summoned for the 1st time . but in the end, mostly deputies arrived to respond to a thorny question, who is killing the fighters in the country and what can be done to protect them is being killed every 5 minutes, by no doubt more than 200 of them, 40 former fighters have been killed since the story of the colombian peace deal, 4 years ago, hundreds more have been tracked, and i mean a worsening of security in areas where reciprocal criminal groups fight for control of drug trafficking routes and other illegal activities. the court ordered the government to increase protective measures back in april, but the killings continued visibly emotional fark,

senator victorious. and dino said the government is to blame. it was a point when, i mean, unfortunately, this sort of being here celebrating the advances of concentrating peace. we are holding this hearing for the killings and prosecution of those who gave up their weapons. these are systematic killings, not isolated incidents. there are clear patterns from of you know, the fledgling peace corps has been at odds with the right wing government of uganda . a critic of the peace accord, the judges repeatedly questioned the government about the lack of effective measures. but officials say there's, it's an uphill battle when they're not being killed due to the negligence of the state or its lack of concern. all x. fighters need to understand that we are doing everything we can, and we want to do more. there's much debate about who's killing the ex-parte combatants and why the government things says that these murders or not systematic in nature and respond to

a number of both. but others are servers. thing says that these killings instead show that the conflict in the country is not over. and he said it is simply mutated the unwillingness of the convent government to recognize the system and to society of the killings basically ignores other experiences of transition to peace around the world in which this sadly is a common feature. and i believe it, it campus convience states' ability to provide the protection the return of violence in many areas of colombia means that the spike, the accord real peace in the country, remains elusive. anderson and ph d. . so to know which one of these flags represent that is a memorial, she won't be forgotten. the art is working to one of the hundreds of thousands of americans who died from covert 90

but how is the weather looks decidedly unsettled across the middle east over the next couple of days if a bit of cloud rolling towards the levant, syria, lebanon, jordan sings and what the weather out west the weather, just sliding across northern parts of iraq will see some showers there coming into iran. and notice this law in of west the weather coming at us, nor the apostles. saudi arabia, down towards the red, say pockets of heavy rain that will lead to some localized flooding. if anything becomes more widespread, as because i want through saturday, could even see want to say showers here in concert. watch out for some out west. so whether it be a few spots of friday coming in into however, the next couple days don't bother to wash the car lot to just further south. it's fine and dry. you might just catch just down around the gulf of aden. so we'll see

some wet weather also pushing through here. plenty of showers across central parts of africa as they should. and they are sinking further now as the south, which is, well, we'll see that west of weather coming down across zimbabwe. seeing some heavy showers, some heavy showers too just coming into the eastern side of south africa, southern parts of mozambique, the west. the weather in south africa will make a swell little further inland as we go on through saturday to some rather wet weather too. coming into the baby, it's looking rather wet frango. in afghanistan, the taliban is renowned for its violent repression. and we now a new deal with the u.s. could feed the group, return to power one o one a few days to get the afghan women who paid the price the pace on al-jazeera. these explosions were not an act of war. these nuclear bombs were experiments by

the soviet union to the kazakh people who lived in the vicinity. the motives might be little different. rewind, silent, and i want to see al-jazeera . every

now again, you're watching al-jazeera remind of our top stories this hour and ethiopia's prime minister has announced a humanitarian corridor over the north into great reason to help civilians caught in the fighting. has also ordered a final offensive against the ground forces. a turkish court has handed down hundreds of life sentences for those accused of plotting to overthrow president reza type, but when 4 years ago, it is one of the biggest cases related to the failed coup. with 475 suspects. allergan team has begun 3 days of national mourning for one of its greatest ever football pledging to live pictures right now. to get married on his body is lying in state, at least a 1000000 people are expected to pay their respects. so let's have some more now on corona virus and the u.s. supreme court has temporarily barred the state of new york from imposing limits on places of worship. the governor andrew cuomo, restricted attendance to as she was 10 worshippers in areas designated as

coronavirus hotspots. court rulings said that was a discrimination against religious institutions. new conservative justice amy kenney barrett tipped, the scales for a 5 to 4 majority in the court. before her appointment, the court had up held restrictions effect in churches in california. and in nevada . little more on this from across one of alan fischer who's joining us from washington d.c. . and just tell us what more we know about this latest decision. well certainly people are saying this is a victory for the groups that suggested that some of the coronavirus restrictions were position on their religious freedom. that's what they argued under the 1st amendment. most people immediately think that's the freedom of speech, but it also. 'd includes the freedom of religion as well. and so the roman catholic diocese, but also orthodox jewish organizations, took new york state to the court to say this is not the sort of thing you should be doing. the court, in a surprise, $54.00 decision decided that's exactly right. and said that new york can't impose

these restrictions on places of worship. what was surprising of course, is that john roberts, who's the chief justice nominated by a republican president. he, he sided with the liberal wing of the supreme court, essentially saying look, this is not something we need to be concerning yourself with at the moment we need to see how this plays out. but 5, all of the justices more conservative in nature said, no, no, we can't be doing this. we've really got to step in. and so the orthodox church for the jewish church in new york and also the diocese in new york. the catholic diocese see this as a significant victory for them. and so does donald trump, because just in the last couple of hours, he tweeted out a retreated to news of the court, went with happy thanksgiving in capital letters just above it. yes, it was a make a beret said, recently joined the supremes court, who was selected to join the supreme court. we expected this tilt to the right to

marry we did, and you got to remember too that this is really the 1st case that iniquity, but it has been involved in. there's been a couple of election cases that have gone to the court that she's stepped aside from this one. she obviously decided that she could get involved and we knew that when she was appointed, they were going to tip the court slightly to the right. there would be a $63.00 majority you for the conservatives, those appointed by republican judges. something that the democrats had argued saying that this would change the balance of the court. and of course we had donald trump, and notably mitch mcconnell, the leader of the republicans in the senate saying, well, elections have consequences. and the president is allowed to make these sorts of decisions. and so he did an equally bad. it was confirmed to the supreme court and she stepped in this time on the side of what many people consider a view of religious freedom. and many people would say that that was the sort of

thing that she would do if she was on the court. absolutely, right, she's making those decisions 54 from the supreme court just before midnight. all right, allan, thanks very much. ellen fisher there in washington d.c. because of stolen data from one of the largest fertility clinic networks in the united states. the company called u.s. fertility owns $55.00 locations across the country, and it says it was hit by a run somewhere attack. now this kind of attack steals data, encrypts the victim's network for then demanding a payment to give it back to the f.b.i. and to other federal agencies say hospitals are facing an imminent threat of attacks. and that they are especially concerning. during the pandemic security firms say hospitals are experiencing the most significant cyber security attacks they've ever seen. let's speak now to the cyber security expert and owner of security discovery dot com joins us live by skype from kiev 1st. tell us how

dangerous this is. i mean, given that we're talking about, you know, health services, hospitals and so forth. presumably these kind of attacks are putting lives at risk . yeah, absolutely. we need, do not underestimate the danger of such attacks and they bring good it. it's much more sophisticated than a regular model where or die because it actually does the whole company's operations and out and not only corporate, but personal people to the polls from nation at risk. and it actually broke here. but everybody, health workers, in this case, to do normally to operate normally would in this challenge and dimes. so how widespread, how widespread is this kind of attack around the world. and how hard is it to

defend against very hard presumably at the beginning of this year, the way for those that docs who was much higher, a damn it was now when depend demick spread in the in march. we've heard from around somewhere or bridge. those people behind those around somewhere attacks that the where day would stop there at tax on health organizations during this changing times in order to not to endanger the warco of doctors saving lives. but apparently something went wrong and these attacks continues. perhaps it's one of those attacks, so what we call spray and a attacks against a large number of businesses and this this arena station or was just

a random victim. has as, as, or as we learned, i don't see where predators know where i gainst at daikin health organization and during pandemic. right. i mean, the fact that these attacks are so prevalent must mean that the organizations a pain, the ransoms demanded of them. then you would think that quite a good way of dealing with this is just refusing to pay. and if everybody refused to pay them, this kind of attack would simply disappear, wouldn't it's a really hard question to answer. yeah, i know it's many of the invasion decide to be, but there are also cases where companies refused to pay ransom, but indeed they put in danger determination, that there are doctors to go away from their computers. and we know cases

surrounded this information was online forums and personal information became clear. we lable that's not the best scenario. if used to pain, it will get published. all right, so what do you think we appreciate that thanks very much. and you too became a fast and where the president has won re-election. according to preliminary results. electoral commission says iraq has secured more than 3 times as many votes as his nearest rival, former finance ministers, a friend. the opposition is claim as fraud in sunday's poll, but this has been dismissed by the electoral commission. hundreds of thousands of people were unable to vote because of fears of violence. joy. i welcomed the announcement just a provisional results of the presidential elections of 2020. i'd like to think all bulky, not base at home and of the for the commitment and faithfulness they have in democracy

. this election is historic for many reasons. 1st is the context in which it was held. these security everyone is aware of. secondly, it's the 1st time looking at bases in the diaspora, participated in elections and 3rd, a confirmation of democracy, taking firm roots here. let's talk with one of dominatrices, joining us from nigeria's capital of so tell us more about this and what's likely to happen next. well, basically, mystica bori avoided potentially difficult. 2nd round vote with the opposition, but the opposition is insistent that they go into court. remember when the election commission was announcing the results of the in the day, it said the opposition has 7 days to challenge the results in court. the opposition in a coalition statement issued shortly after the announcement said they would take up the challenge and head to court. now the constitutional court will review the

evidence will review the judgment in 15 days since after the after the announcement of the election results. it will either endorse or reject the vote. if you 2 rejects the vote, then it means new elections would be organized and held in particular for us. otherwise that would put pay, what will end any hope of coming to power by the opposition. now, president, much on the other hand has offered an olive branch to the oppositions and that he will consult, widely, and of course form an all inclusive government to kick the can a fossil for what he promised to tackle sic in security challenges of development and all the issues raised during the campaign by his party as well as those rates by the opposition, which he feels can benefit all but cannot base in the years ahead or dhamma. thanks very much and if the time of interest reporting, thank you very much. the
