the pandemic is because so much of the suffering exploited to protect the people for the profit episode, one of the full hail the meltdown on the euro. the in 0 0. i'm fully back to go. this is a news hour live from doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. tens of thousands of indian farmers defy police barriers to march on the capital. they say new problem ocket laws will be a show of strength in the iraqi capital by influential cleric knocked out asada after announcing he will run in parliament tree elections next year. also this hour donald trump says he'll leave office if joe biden is deemed the winner after the

electoral college vote, but refuses to conceive it just yet. and going it alone. we report from a remote region of afghanistan, where local troops are trying to maintain security without the help of u.s. forces. and as dagon marathon is laid to rest in argentina, italian fans keep his memory burning bright at napoli, where he led them to their most successful era. thank you very much for joining as we begin this hour in india, where after marching for hundreds of kilometers and battling their way through police barricades, thousands of farmers and now pouring into the capital. police have allowed protesters to gather in the city after initially trying to hold off the crowds. the farmers are rallying to demand. the government scrapped new laws. they say damages

damaged, rather their livelihoods. farmers have crossing ties, stays to fight the changes they face barricades, water cannon and tear gas. but he's trying to stop their advance despite officials giving in that hasn't stopped more battles freaking out on the outskirts of the capital. local media, say delhi police have asked to turn 9 stadiums into makeshift jails. the regional government has opposed the plan. let's go live to al-jazeera is elizabeth brown. i'm in new delhi for a soul is a breakthrough, for farmers with police, giving some permission to protest. tell us about what's been happening by funny. so we're on a highway next to the grounds that farmers are going to be brought to you to protest and around me are a number of police barricades and trucks that are going to be used as police barricades to stop the pharmacy here. and to not let them go into central delhi,

which is what they wanted to do with from delhi's police commissioner, is appealing to farmers to maintain order and demonstrate peacefully. this is often 2 days of thousands of hama's, tens of thousands of followers trying to reach delhi from the neighboring states. police states borders. they said the farmers weren't allowed to come, citing the affected high number of coronavirus cases. we've seen extraordinary scenes in the last couple of days. the biggest protests, in fact, since the coronavirus pandemic here in 8 scenes of pharmacies using tractors to get rid of police barricades, throw them over bridges using tractors to remove trucks, which were being used as police barricades while facing tear gas and wish it hadn't really shown in their determination to come to delhi, and as you mentioned, another bit of good news for delhi police is that the local government here in delhi has told delhi police that no, they cannot convert 9 stadium as to temporary. it is a day to house father,

that's right. and there's a 2nd round of meetings between farmers, unions and the government next month. so why are the farmers determined to continue with these protests? it's because the follow simply don't trust the government and bet is because what these protests come down to is follows $12.00 what's called a minimum support price. they want a guaranteed price for their projects. and while the indian government has said that that price will remain, they will not write it and to go. and the reason why this is such a big issue in india is because around a hot of the country's 1300000000 people book in the agricultural sector, they want these guarantees. and these new laws that are being caused by the governments, they loosen the rules around the save, around the pricing. and farmers and trade unions say that these new changes that they will benefit from rich corporations and not the average fama. and that is why

they are continuing to protest, even though yes, there are a 2nd round of talks between fabius unions and the government slated for december 3rd, elizabeth in new delhi. thank you. let's now find out more about why indian farmers are so unhappy and speak to him on chu, who's in new delhi. he is an associate professor in economics at university. thank you very much for being with us. so the bills passed by india's on a mint in september as list said, they make it easier for farmers to sell their produce directly to private buy is. but indian farmers are unhappy about this. how, how exactly is this going to impact them negatively? we have a well established system while i go to the market because i believe that by the elements, particularly the state government, that is not the winds and the farmer spirit once the private market, which is where the corporate sector would be allowed to breed it into the market,

it could lead to a dilution of the protection. that is the way to put them in the markets which are done by the state governments. and that is what that mistrust that is there a lot more to the uptick to a bit of prices being hit with it before that produces the only problem is that here that is absolutely not. it will issue in a sense. anybody can buy it from any but the point is that there is no got it be that the price that is being big is going to be the minimum support price as it was the government has announced at the beginning of the sewing 7. and that's what it is, the mistrust comes in. i mean, technically, i think market and he would be something which will be coming. but at a time when that is when the slowdown in the economy, that demand and departments have been struggling with losing revenue losses and going to sector for the last 2 years. some of these issues have become, but he had it right. and that mistrust with the government or the government intention to providing benefit to the 5 most is what actually the sticking point is . and i think those are issues which is where the government had actually not. but

i'm not talking to the partners, but consulting its partners, what are the state governments and that has actually led to the activation of the situation that we're seeing in italy in the suit to benefit. and this is not the only issue that indian families have been raising in recent years, a protest march is reminiscent of several held in the city as have a range of issues including so asides. why are these protests becoming more frequent? what would you say india's agricultural sector is facing right now? why is it in crisis? i mean in the last 4 to 5 years, things have really been about about what the bottom was. i mean, especially after 2014, when the petroleum base. but i'm a lapsed, the commodity prices also took a hit, but much of that sense also had to double it out into the $14.15, which is that it couldn't, but we had it up and up into the $14.00 to $15.00. then we wanted asian happen. so this is a series of events of basically a liquid situation that 5 months in comes back to lapsed and this is happening

across the board across commodities. not a single commodity, but more or less. what's commodities have seen the marketplaces of these that once again, what devices were down quite substantially? but at the same time, the import prices have not come down in this. and so therefore, the losses have increased. much have been protesting about these issues, have been asking for more and more support from the central government. and i've heard from the state government. unfortunately, none of this is coming to lee and the government has not been listening to them. completely ignoring the what about the demands of how much that meeting and that really the situation is becoming when from bad to worse and what if we do the time? so it sounds like the agricultural sector needs reform, but there's no trust that the government can actually in that's these reforms. what should the government be doing right now? you think to satisfy some of these demands by the forms? i think of the record. so in other ways also, i think that the government should be doing is to basically talk with the most listened to what are the demands that the 5 months a 2nd date in the government will have to be the subsidy that is going to be paid

to the farmers now the subsidy in action. it real terms in value terms is not something which has increased, but actually it has decreased investment in agriculture has decreased. some of these need to need money to be by the central government of the state government. but the more important issue is to have some going up a dialogue with the farmers into confidence and then decide any kind of a policy this is in which is meant to be part of much of what i can, but on 2nd, especially my shoe. thank you very much for shedding light on this issue for us is associate professor in economics at our how national university in india. thank you for your time. thank you to india now where rather to iraq, i should say, where mass rallies being held in the capital. baghdad in a show of support following shia cleric melted off out of his bid to run in parliamentary elections next june. thousands of people have gathered in tahrir square, which was once the focus of anti-government protests that are satirists frequently

shown his support for the demonstration then often made calls for political reform . let's bring in simona 14 who's on the line from baghdad in taria square. what exactly is the purpose of today's gathering simona, well, in very virtuous to show muscle and has of the june parliamentary elections and to galvanize his supporters to really gauge perhaps what his chances were of achieving his electoral goals and goals. goals were stated just a few days ago. he said that he aimed to achieve a majority in parliament and he also wanted to then use this majority. can nominate the next prime minister. now, of course, that would be a substantial increase to the current 54th. see that his own party holds that merely 16 percent of all apartment. 5 receives so what's better, he's really trying to do here. he's trying to gauge the political support is trying to mobilize his supporters. and i would say it was quite a surprise because you could see that there were thousands of people packing paris

square during friday. prayers and the goal of this friday prayers, as they announced, was also to defend their religion and their faith in the face of called immorality . and what that pen, that of course is the, the anti-government protest movement that has been taking place. and for over here, over a year until just a few weeks ago and that movement was very much against the political establishment . a was also against the religious establishment, including father himself, and of course, because they challenge, you know, the ruling class, the religious class. there was quite a lot of opposition from the sudras movement against the government protesters and indian today's event with the masses that turned. 5 left little doubt as to who emerged the victor after months of protests. and well, as you say, until recently, terry's square was the signs of anti-government protests. where does this been?

and what kind of founders announcement leave the anti-government protest movement? well, today's show of force in tahrir square, it was, it started really stark contrast to the protest movement which started out very strong enough over 2000. 1 and 19, but over the months it dwindled amidst a lot of state sponsored violence killings, kidnappings, and also very importantly, a gradual and successful and soul train by various political parties, including the sudras. when the activists say that their cause was hijacked, that in the end, the sudras police, they claimed ownership of this protest movement to really use it for future political gains. and that's exactly what they are attending to do now. and on the other hand, if you compare the protesters to the sudras movement, they have not been successful in translating that initial momentum on the street into political capital. they have not been able to organize politically to register

parties that have an actual chance to really put up a credible challenge to him from parties like a 100 fold in the end. like it was really a stark comparison to see the organizational kopitar billet ease and the political muscle of the sudras today, which really makes it look as though the of the protesters have failed in their goal to topple the ruling class and to overhaul the entire political system thank you for that simona 14 on the line from baghdad. plenty more ahead on this news hour, including 45000 refugees and counting if the o.p.'s screen conflict at home struggled to get medical help in neighboring sudan. hundreds dead families destroyed. pressure mounts on bangladesh to account for a number of killings by and he leads police units and from playing on the streets to international competitions, we meet a young family, you know, chessplayer making big moves on the wall stage.

the funeral of football legend, diego maradona, has been held in argentina's capital. there was heavy security as his body was taken from the presidential palace with thousands lining the route to watch every for someone a size the cemetery where he was laid to rest alongside his parents. the streets lined by tens of thousands of fans saying ideal to a great for a national hero. the loss was felt across the world. for us, diego was a terminal for a whole life. he led argentina to the top. it's difficult for everyone. i've seen newspapers in france and in england, they all talk about him. it's incredible. however, the chaos that blighted much of marathoners life spilled into events,

marking his death. fans clashed with police after the gates to the government palace where he was lying in state closed, denying them the chance to pay their last respects with his death has come the opportunity to reflect on what diego matter dawna gave to the world of football. to this neighborhood to argentina? the answer for many is everything. they created shrines of football grounds where he played a book of juniors and here the continues juniors grounds named after him, where he began his professional career as a 15 year old in 1976. wood. diego is the people, he's the people, it's what he most identified with. he never forgot his origins, the happiness he brought this family for all these families, not only said will follow my, i don't want to judge him badly because he represented all our misery. and as it says on these posters, our happiness to you and like to thank you for all the happiness he brought

us. i don't know some applause for marriage or not the best of our people. thank you, diego, really thank you. could see that they applauded here and across argentina in naples and barcelona, and around the world, there are a donor in the demons. he battled the day. but to go to for his magic, his vision, an ability to excite and inspire live on in his fans. and one of cyrus u.s. president donald trump says he will leave the white house if the electoral college confirms the victory of president elect joe biden said it would be a mistake if biden was confirmed, adding it would be difficult to concede. trump repeated unfounded claims about the election being stolen from him because of fraudulent votes. biden's inauguration is set to take place on january 20th. just so, you know, certainly it will certainly will. and you know,

but i think that there will be a lot of things happening between now and the 20th of january. al-jazeera, as mike hanna has more now from washington. certainly it's the 1st time as well that president trump has explicitly said that he will leave the white house should as this is expected, the electoral college confirm the president elect biden as the country's next president. now, president saying that he's still not going to concede, insisting that there's a lot of battles still to go continuing to insist with no evidence whatsoever that the the election was fraudulent. but all of that ends affectively when the electoral college votes in mid december, basically all the electors in their respective states will confirm the votes, which at the present stands for $306.00 electoral college votes for joe biden. $232.00 for donald trump. now at that point to president trump saying he will accept the electoral college is a decision, though if he considers it as

a fraud. well, that's not strictly true. he has got no option, but to accept that decision that is a constitutional point at which the next president is confirmed by the electoral college. the next step is for congress to certify all of those votes. and then the inauguration on january the 20th one must point out as well, that in more than 30 cases brought by the trump campaign or other republican organizations have been defeated in the country's courts. so certainly he has no grounds whatsoever would appear to continue to cry, fraud, and to continue to cost any doubt whatsoever on the result of the selection. but he's going to continue to do so. it would appear. millions of americans have been traveling for the thanksgiving holiday, despite warnings from health experts to stay home because of a surge in coronavirus cases and deaths this month. the u.s. transportation security administration says nearly 6000000. people took flights

from friday to wednesday on wednesday, the day before thanksgiving. 1000000 people pass through airport security. on that day, the u.s. recorded 2400 deaths linked to covert 19 officials fear that number will increase. lawrence gostin is from the university of georgetown in washington. he says is a strong chance of a surgeon called related deaths after the holiday season. the worst case scenario is that we'll have a 100000 or more deaths between now and when the vaccine rolls out. i think, you know, basically the drug administration's pretty much given up on the president almost never meet is this task force? the federal government is in disarray. it's highly politicized. this city. and people just want to, you know, go to restaurants, bars, they want to enjoy themselves. and they want family celebrations,

alessi every restriction. they attend joe, violation of their own freedom, legal. no, no human being free to do things that may risk your own life. but if you're risking someone else's life, you know, an elderly neighbor or a family member, you know, that's not freedom. that just simply, you know, causing unnecessary death to others and nobody has the freedom to harm other people . more than 1000000 covered 1000 cases have been recorded in germany. since a pandemic began, the governments imposing strict measures to curb the virus from december. private gatherings will be restricted to 5 people, increasing to 10 during christmas. a chance angered americal has warned these measures are likely to continue into january. meanwhile, the u.k.'s health secretary has asks regulators to assess the safety of oxford

university and astra zeneca 1000 back seen as looking to get approval for a temporary supply of doses. by the end of the year. cox says, the move is an important step towards deploying a vaccine as quickly and as safely as possible. the u.k.'s chief medical advisor says he remains confident in the trial results. greatest part of the whole thing, they'll see the top of the results, a c 60 though. we've got a great regulator in the u.k. and over to no, although make their decisions around it. so i think, you know, having one results this vaccine works so not so very exciting and it's killing people for. 'd whatever approval rating we just really took it into starting now to be true for all of us and for the world health organization's executive director of vaccine will allow for greater control of covert 19, but my cry and want it want to mean the end of the pandemic here, cheaper to be mindful of behavior that increases the spread of the fire strain the

holiday season, and appeals for continued physical distancing measures to avoid further lock downs . addie fatten is the vice president of vaccine research and development at blue willow. i am logic's, he says, even with the vaccine people must continue to follow the rules. i think there is a big problem. if we just, you know, relax and say we have a vaccine and everything is ready and we can go out and start our life as used to be. that's really kind of a big mistake for everybody. because having a vaccine is one thing and applying the vaccine to the community and do almost everybody's really huge task that was did months. and therefore if we just relax today, because we have a good that is also from a clinical trial, that's something that should be managed well. and we should not to really relax order behaviors and our practice and the vaccine itself.

although it's a very big success for the 3 vaccines, including the as well as anika. there is a still many open issues that we have to be answered before. we get to the point where we say, ok, we made it giving the vaccine to $65.00 and older where we have a weakened immune to immune system and therefore not having enough people in that category is a big problem. because then that, that population will not benefit from a vaccine. therefore, i know they are the highest risk people around. so therefore, it's is an issue with regards to the $65.00 and older the australian military has moved to dismiss more than a dozen soldiers after an inquiry found some of the special forces committed war crimes in afghanistan, investigators uncovered evidence that soldiers had on knopfler killed $39.00 unarmed civilians and prisoners,

most of the killings happened in 201-220-1390 extension 0, current and former troops have been referred for possible prosecution. and the trump administration plans to withdraw 2 and a half 1000 u.s. troops from afghanistan in january in a further push to end america's longest war. many u.s. bases are being handed over to the afghan army despite a surge in violence. visited one of those bases in a chain, a once volatile region in the east, where security forces are trying to maintain a frontal call. these valleys have seen violence and like few places in afghanistan, the area was occupied by isis fighters who targeted people in the region and destroyed their villages. now, things have changed. prisons in the border areas of this district, but completely eliminated from this area. for nearly 4 years, relentless u.s.

airstrikes supporting afghan military operations across in eastern afghanistan destroyed. i saw sanctuary here with me going one year a year ago would have been completely but now since i still have been at the nearby base, it's also quiet. it was from here that u.s. special forces with the use of sophisticated technology and air support. i saw the base was handed over to the afghan army may these emblems or some of the fury my minders that american troops were once here. the moniker. when the foreigners left, they did not leave equipment like weapons, vehicles and other military equipment that we needed. we are an urgent need of

heavy weapons, like artillery, mortars, cannons, and ammunition. if we have all these heavy artillery with us, we will be able to defend our country in a better way. the base commander says the taliban often attacks the base from the mountains day and night. the base is only levon kilometers from the border with pakistan, from where he says taliban fighters can slip into the area. nato has adjusted eisold remains a concern here, and has promised to support the afghan security forces for the next 4 years. despite the sudden u.s. drawdown in the villages of people who had fled, the fighting are returning to their homes. some say that makes no difference. the americans are no longer in the area with us in the people who want to go. we are proud of our security forces and we are not worried. we want the taliban, the government on the face, negotiating teams to know that we have suffered

a lot and we can't afford to see more funerals of our loved ones. we want peace and peace at any cost. and if peace ever comes to this remote corner of afghanistan, people here also hope they can finally have a hospital and a bigger school for all the children. so everyone can know what a peaceful life looks like. for the contraflow, al jazeera, a change eastern afghanistan. time now for a check on the wild weather, his romp. the recent very obvious change of season sir levant on recently the arabian peninsula is left. this sort of zigs is northwestern syria typical refugee camp, which of course, wet and red mud underfoot in saudi arabia, these flash floods from thunderstorms. just one example is jeddah from yesterday. this is typical of most cities in the arabian peninsula where you get a big downpour briefly. flash floods that eventually clears away,

but the concentration on the heavy and the more persistent rain is usually somewhere in iraq. all the western side of iran, where the land starts. to get higher, of course in the course at heart, you tend to get snow out of it. that even during saturday you got that potential line of thunderstorms across saudi down towards the red sea coast across into djibouti or to showers. might even show up to the south that bahrain or qatar for example. but let's take a couple of forecast baghdad, showers on saturday, very little wind drives in through the northwest. it picks up on sunday for a fun day. you got right to showers on monday, q 8. likewise. such the looks shower in there, but was here on monday. as the wind just turns around to a lightish northwesterly for the rest of us well, to the west, it's fine again. the sun is art. it's quite warm by day, but there are still showers in bahrain kuwait. rob, thank you. still ahead on al-jazeera. find out why some big social media companies are threatening to pull out of pakistan. and pakistan's credit is on their best

behavior after breaching coronavirus part of halls. a news event that's coming up in force with joe jump into the stream and julian on global community bio diversity is bio security. is that essential for our species to survive? be part of the debate. i know you heard ninety's and he can be part of this conversation when no topic is off the table, the complaints are not neutral and all, all of these cases here is to terrorize. and here's the other part of this. there's no consequence, this stream on out is there when the music breaks are strong, when people need to be heard and the story needs to be told, that's why you have increased testing in areas with a high infection rate with exclusive interviews and in-depth reports see people

here tell us they are desperate. they're hungry and cold. al-jazeera has teams on the ground kind of loves to impact their 2nd to bring you more award winning documentaries and live news the the way you're watching the news hour on al-jazeera with me fully back to a reminder of our top stories. thousands of farmers have gathered in india's capital to demand the government scrapped new market friendly laws, which they say damaged their livelihoods. some have marched for hundreds of kilometers defying police bands and mass rallies being held in iraq's capital baghdad in a show support for shia cleric speight to run into

a tree. elections satirists frequently, bats anti-government protests and calls for political reform. and u.s. president donald trump says he will leave the white house if he let college confirms a victory of president elect joe biden. and trump says it would be a mistake for that to happen. ethiopia now and african peace and boys are due to meet the prime minister ahmed in addis ababa on friday to discuss the fighting in t. grey. the government has ordered a final phase of its offensive in the northern region. has warned people to stay indoors as the army moves in regional capital. a government imposed deadline for to grand forces to surrender expired on when safe. and the un is warning. people of fleeing the tikrit region, tens of thousands have already arrived in neighboring sudan, but many say they're struggling to get access to health care al-jazeera as they have. a morgan has more from got

a reef on the ethiopian border with saddam this is the only health facility at village a refugee camp near sudan's border with dozens come here for medical assistance each day. tecla will die says he was when by doctors back in his home country that he was developing cardiac problems. now he says, days of walking to flee from fighting in ethiopia. stigler a region and standing in line for aid and for treatment is making him feel worse. i was told to be careful not to exhaust myself to take care of my diet. but since i had to flee my chest pains have been increasing. and when i come here, there's often a long line or no doctor, for hundreds of patients in the camp that hosts more than 15000. the center is the 1st and sometimes the only place to seek treatment. despite that, it has little to offer to patients, all fled to escape fighting from to grey. i wasn't suffering from

anything when i was back at my i've been struggling to get medication since i got here, and the treatment is very poor. more than 45000 refugees have been displaced by the fighting integrate. it's thought of 3 weeks ago following a government offensive on the to great people's liberation front. the offensive was a response to an attack by the front on a military base and came after months of tension between the regional government and the federal government. 2 camps have been opened in sudan to cope with the influx of refugees. but providing services, especially health services, is challenging as more and more refugees continue to arrive. the camp here has 3 doctors who are also refugees to tend to the sick. we don't, even if we cannot we don't agree with, you know, that could be of benefit. there are many here that we

don't obviously so dense commission of refugees says it's trying to assist the refugees with access to health care, but need support from organizations to be able to help the sick develop what's needed is for health organizations to provide emergency medications. the refugee community is no mingling with the local community and some turn to local health facilities to get treatment. health organizations need to step up to ensure that refugees have proper health care. most refugees here say they don't know how long they remain in this camp, or if they will be relocated to places with better facilities. but they say they hope their calls for assistance will be listened to before a medical crisis. of course, morgan al-jazeera out of state. let's speak to jonathan fisher, who's the head of the international development department at the university of, birmingham in the u.k.,

joining us on skype. thank you very much, jonathan fisher for being with us. let's talk about these efforts being made by these african voice. has until now are shunned all international attempts at mediation in this conflict? is there anything that this african delegation in addis ababa can realistically achieve? it's hard to say really, i mean, as you say, so far, the government of ethiopia has resisted any attempts in opposite mediation, both by the african union and term number of other countries including saddam. i mean the ethiopian government, but this one and its predecessors has a long standing history of, of fierce independence and pushing back against external efforts to, into being what it considers to be. it's internal affairs. so i'm not particularly optimistic about what can be achieved by be a use at that. so at this point, there's also the question of what the prime minister hopes to achieve in this. this

final phase is not called will be occupation or right exec a lot of questions about what the end game really is when he announced this final offensive on mikhail a. what is the government trying to achieve and what is the tape e.l.f.? on the other side, what is there and game you know what i mean it, because it's very important to undermine underline, that the information that we have available to us is pretty limited based on the communications up down and to grow over the last couple of weeks my guess is that what the government is seeking to do is to try and this conflict in its favor as quickly as possible. and during that time to sort of trying to head off pressure to accept mediation or dialogue to effectively end what it considers to be the threat, from, from the t.p. . the t.p.s., on the other hand, doesn't really have any incentive to back down. and indeed, neither side does the government has made it quite clear that the white at this conflict will end aside from a military solution is by the tepee of

a free to ship surrendering. and so there's not very much to be optimistic about in terms of either side, backing down. unfortunately that the conflict, as you say, carries considerable implications for countries across the horn of africa and the wider red sea region. is there anyone that can besting gauge? you know, the government and the t.p.m. left in dialogue and how do they do that? and also, i mean, it's not just a t.p.o. left that the government has to face right now. there are a number of other crises in ethiopia that this government is going to have to learn to address. how do they do that? you're right. there are, there are very grave regional implications to this. i think that the, in terms of the regional situation, sudan is probably the most important player in terms of being able to engage the european government and potentially the t.p. left as well to try and seek some sort of ceasefire. sudan is borders to growing

and with the border with eritrea closed, it's the site where the cheap air life would likely seek to retreat to if it were to try and, you know, set up grid bases or something like that. so saddam has an important role in, in this conflict in terms of being able to engage both sides to try and, and the situation before it becomes a wider humanitarian and regional crisis. thank you so much. jonathan fisher for talking to us about this. jonathan fisher is head of the international development department at the university of birmingham. thank you for your time. thank you very much. scotland's 1st minister says she wants to hold a 2nd independence referendum as early as next year. nicolas sturgeon says she wants the vote to take place near the beginning of the next, on a mentor, a 10 with sati. may surgeons, national party is expected to perform strongly in those elections. scots voted 55 to 45 percent against independence in 2014 in that referendum. then,
