you know, afghanistan, the taliban is renowned for its violent repression. and now a new deal with the u.s. could see the group return to power one, a winning still vista gates of afghan women who paid the price for peace on al jazeera al-jazeera hello, this is the news hour on al-jazeera. i'm fully back to go live from our world headquarters in doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. tens of thousands of indian pharmacist defied police barriers to march on the capital face a new call market laws will perish that ethiopian prime minister ahmed says he will only talk with legally appointed to green leaders as african union envoys push for peace to end of weeks of fighting, also this hour

a show of strength in the iraqi capital by supporters of the cleric. after he announces he will run in autumn entering elections next year. 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 marathoners laid to rest in argentina, it's highly and fans keep his memory burning bright at night. when he led them to their most successful era. thank you very much for joining us. we begin in india where after marching for hundreds of kilometers and battling their way through police barricades, thousands of farmers are now pouring into the capital. police have a lot of 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, which they say damaged,

share livelihoods. farmers have cross entire states to fight the changes they faced barricades want to count and tear gas as police. try to stop their advance. despite officials giving in that hasn't stopped breaking 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. that's given. there is a live in elizabeth, joins us live from delhi. so liz. to come to way you are, tell us what's been happening around you delhi today. hi folly. so we're at one of the grounds we're at the ground. and in fact, that protest is being war. and there is a huge police presence here. in fact, so far, there are still more police officers here than there are farmers and testers. there are a large number of police buses here to take anyone away if they cause any trouble. and just as importantly,

there are police barricades surrounding this area to stop farmers who come from going beyond this point into central delhi, which is where they wanted to go, but they were denied permission police. citing the record high number of coronavirus cases, nigella's police commissioner is appealing to farmers to protest peacefully to maintain order that is after nearly 3 days of tens of thousands of farmers making their way to delhi from neighboring states. breaking through police barricades and face as they faced water cannon and tear gas. so this is a concession by delhi police. we're not sure if it's going to be enough because while we're hearing that a lot of farmers are on their way here. and we can see the preparations for that here and others saying that this is not good enough. they want to go to central delhi. right? and these are the biggest protests news since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic in india. why is this such a big issue? it's a huge issue in india because not the least of but not the least of the reasons is

because around a half of india's 1300000000 people work in the agriculture sector. and it is a sector that has been in crisis for decades for a number of reasons. including really high indebtedness by farmers in fact, something like 300000 farmers have killed themselves in the past 25 years because they are in debt. and farmers feel that the changes that have been brought by the indian government are going to push them further into debt. stay say that the changes, they are ill, they loosen the rules around, say, and pricing. and they are afraid that they're going to lose what's called, you know, minimum guaranteed prices for they produce. they want the indian government to assure them that this isn't going to happen. to any and government has said that it won't, but farmers want that friction and to ignore farmers trade unions. many people who are against this through all say that the laws will benefit rich corporations and not the average farmer lisp ranum in new delhi. thank you.

is the general secretary of the all india communist party affiliated farmers organisation. he says the laws not only hurt farmers, but are also undemocratic boozman been going on for so little months when more the government or even the promulgated to your demons. one is a debian board, all the board really are going to be in the others, the department of india, so they implement, it becomes live in their own lead there. and in that situation, they're prone to do the bare minimum, the there will be or demands do. they are all part of model going to asia. we came together struggles wordage and committee,

a combination of 250 organization. we started fighting this last 6 months, but with the growing a struggle, more people going well under another 200 ish arnold. palmer's organization enjoyed nearly 500 small, big parliaments, organization all over the country, the united lee demanding that these and the farmers and people who acts would be repealed. there's no compromise on that because these are a death knell for the problem in community of india. government want to destroy the harm part of march based agriculture and reduce it to the word for it based agriculture. there is the basic objection to us, the government, you know, any democratic government, listen to the people, the ask the people,

if there were any problem, this list entry. but unfortunately more the government and the fastest stick all to the period, undemocratic government, totally against common people. and they are working at the end of the corporate houses in national and international corporate houses. they want to capture the internal agree culture of india. and then paul marshall be reduced to the lives in other world news. ethiopia's government denies that the prime minister is rejecting talks with to graham leaders as visiting envoys force for a resolution to the weeks long conflict. 3 african union, special envoys met with abby ahmed in he told them he would only speak to representatives operating legally in the region. a day ago the army was ordered to carry out the final phase of its offensive and move in on to graze regional capital micheli, a government imposed deadline for to gray and forces to surrender expired on wednesday. when i spoke to ethiopia's prime minister's spokeswoman bil'in

a say human, and here's what she had to say about the situation. i think that the widely misunderstood concept with regard to the strong word with rejection, particularly because the prime minister has not rejected talking to anybody from the to grow region impact the provisional administration that has been set up a constitutionally by the half a federation is an amalgamation or a composition of various to grow political parties that are active in the to grow region. so there is no rejection on his part because this provision of the nutrition is comprised of representatives or speaking on behalf of the people of the grandchildren. so that's one point of regards to your question of mediation at this point, and that has been rewritten because there is a several times a void that one of the key for the whole of those measure has been undertaken is because, according to the laws of the land in the constitution and the criminal code of the

federal democratic republic repeat a copy of your own national defense forces across is the criminal act in this considered a treasonous act of one part of a country in 2 holding the country. my thought for you in the service to holding the country together, the action was taken to ensure that the rule of law is being enforced and in place in the region. the program mediating with a criminal group that has affected the treasonous act, is not something left on the table right now. but i see human origins up to this conflict right now. this offensive by the government has led to thousands of ethiopians fleeing to neighboring sudan. so you can understand the concern of neighboring countries when the conflict is now spreading into their territory. so why once again reject mediation that may come from sudan or other countries when there is being directly impacted by what's happening in the degrade region. that solely the federal government is in command of most of the areas within the to grow region. all of the places that were under p.p.r.

look, militia, occupation are now under federal command and are returning back to normalcy. in fact, the prime minister has made a clear call for all of those that have fled to come back because their areas and their homes are being protected. well there is that one particular caller, glenn, when you're talking about those that have fled into other regions, they're running away from the fear that would be stricken by these kind of things. it's important to understand that these are ethiopians, because there is nobody that is more concerned for a defensive than the people in both federal government. but we should not make it seem as if this is, you know, in the hands of other bodies and other countries. these are our citizens, and we are more than ready and happy to come back to have them come back and reset them and talk to a federal stakeholders of to a federally structure that has been set up. there is about 4 comes that i've been, you have to reintegrate back those that have fled before they're recycled back into their original one. so this issue is not going to have a dramatic issue with their readiness and the preparedness of the federal

government to really back its citizens and care for them in the manner that it's supposed to. but do you think it's time for the citizens to return, as you say, when the prime minister announced yesterday that the final offensive on macand, the regional capital to gray had begun half a 1000000 people live in that area. what is the government going to do to protect those civilians living there? the government is going to continue and continue doing what it has been doing throughout this operation and matters most protection for civilians. one thing that we have to understand and has not been well understood by the international community and international media, is that one of the reasons that it has taken a little bit longer for all of these various to be occupied is because the national, defense forces is not having any military confrontations with t.p.m., with militia cities and towns that have been a part of its strategic operation of voiding cities and towns and taking terrain in order to get to these areas where a lot of p.l.f. operatives are. so there is one ethnic group ensuring that citizens are protected.

secondly, engagement are going to be happening. in my case, something construed by p.p.l. of propaganda. something with due cause or an end to military attention and strategic and tactical operations that is going to be targeted towards the p.p.l. of click element, where their hideouts are also clearly known mr. humid you say the international community and the international media don't understand what's happening. it is true that it's been very difficult for journalists, a very fly, all the information that has been put out there because access to, to great has been practically impossible. the prime minister announced a humanitarian corridor would be set up in to great. can you give us more details about that? when does it start? what does it cover? because as you know, humanitarian organizations aid agencies have been complaining about not being able to get access to the region. why won't the government allow access to the region? the government is not refusing a clip of there's a number of things that we have to clearly understand and have context into one of the issues that you raised with regards to not being able to be in communication

with god. if you've seen the statement that was issued following their discussion with the special envoy, one of the clear commitments of the federal government is to restore all of the infrastructure, including communication infrastructure that was destroyed by piano. and she ate it because in their attack on the northern command, they had to make sure that the northern command of the national defense force was broken off in communication from headquarters. so the communication breakdown is on the p.l.f. militia, and it should not be construed any other way with regards to humanitarian assistance or else a different something that has been endorsed, the federal ministry of peace is the one that is mandated to coordinate. and there are already in discussion together with relevant u.n. agencies that are within ethiopia that are operating in ethiopia to be able to provide access to humanitarian support to a lot of areas in command. with regard to these requests that came early on, we have to understand that there's a militia heavy that were heavily weaponized militia operating within the region.

so it's not something that you could just and now anybody could just go in and bear the brunt of what people and that militia would be doing to others as they have done poor their own citizens and their own people of their own region of went this is something that has been played, a great now we have technical experts including u.n., humanitarian aid, technical experts that are going to be on the ground doing the mend. i, let's now bring in our jazeera is here morgan, who's live on sudan border with ethiopia. is he but you heard there the ethiopian government spokeswoman saying that the people, the people who fled to gray in recent weeks should return. now because it's safe enough, but are the people there ready to return? do they think that it's safe enough to go back home while fully, of course also people here say they don't have any communication with their relatives and it's a good region so they don't know how safe it is. most of them say they prefer to say here in this camp, despite the fact that it takes them hours standing in the scorching sun to be able

to get him any parian aid. some of them still arriving. we've spoken to authorities here. they say that there's been a reduction in the number of people who are arriving to discover this new only about 30 people arrived here, but they did not counting the number of refugees arriving 200 border crossing points in neighboring consulates. but overall authorities say there is a drop of number in the number of people who are arriving, seeking refuge here in the sudanese states, of course and the bodies. and they say that could be because the situation is a little bit under control, but it could also be because most of those refugees don't use official border crossings. they have to go through fields, and it takes a patrolled by the military and by villagers to be able to bring them to the refugee camps and to a border crossing point. so most of them here say that they've witnessed a horrendous across the seas. they say that they've seen people being slaughtered, they say that they had walked for days to be able to get here. and still they managed to get news from the region from their relatives. they prefer staying here, even though it means standing in line for hours, for aid, and shortage to,

to access for health care. they'd rather stay here rather than going back home. not knowing what is happening here. morgan reporting there live from the ethiopian sudan border. thank you more ahead on this news hour, including donald trump says he'll leave office if joe biden is deemed the winner after the electoral college votes. but refuses to concede just yet. fans line up in the streets to be fair. while one of the polls through legend stoudemire donor, is made to rest in point a cyrix. and from playing on the streets to international competitions, we meet the young filipino chess player, making big moves in the game. first to iraq, where mass rally has been held in the capital. baghdad in a show of support for shia cleric mactire asada, thousands of people have gathered in tahrir square, which was once the focus of anti-government protests showing his support for the

demonstrations and often made calls for political reform on a mentor elections are due to be held in june, next year, simona 14 went to the rally in backed at friday's prayer. here in baghdad, the hers was an over to display of power on the part of the sudras movement. just days after its leader influential shia cleric looked at al assad or announced that his party intended to secure a majority in the forthcoming parliamentary elections. and also to nominate the prime minister. of course, that would be a substantial increase compared to the 16 percent of seats his party currently holds. but as you can see, thousands of people have gathered here today, which shows just how much political muscle this movement has, and also how much organizational capability they have to hold this thing together. and that's, that's in stark contrast to the anti-government protest movement that has been demonstrating here in tahrir square until just a few weeks ago,

their movement has been fragmented. they have claimed that they have been infiltrated by parties like the sudras movement. their movement has essentially been hijacked, so this gathering here, leaves little doubt as to who emerged as the victor. after months of anti-government protests, the british government is facing criticism for deploying troops to defend solder arabian oil fields without informing parliament or the public. troops were sent to protect the fields following drone attacks last year. it's not known how many soldiers have been deployed by the operation is still ongoing. the ministry of defense has defended the move saying the oil fields a critical and needs protecting us 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 repeat his unfounded claims about

the election being stolen from him because of financial unfolds. biden's inauguration is set to take place on january 20th just so you certainly will certainly will. and you know that. but i think that there will be a lot of things happening between now and the 20th of january. mike hanna has more 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 trump 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 election was for talent. but all of that ends affectively when the electoral college costs its 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. the australian military has moved

to dismiss more than a dozen soldiers after an inquiry found some of its special forces committed war crimes. in afghanistan, investigators and cavity evidence that soldiers had unlawfully 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 tramp administration plans to withdraw twin to half 1000 u.s. troops, some afghanistan in january, and 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. al-jazeera visited one of those bases in a chain. and once volatile region in the east, west security forces are trying to maintain a fragile calm these valleys have seen violence and death, 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.

whatever had to suffer, there is a taliban presence in the border areas of this district. but i saw this completely eliminated from this area. for nearly 4 years, relentless u.s. airstrikes supporting afghan military operations across achieving in eastern afghanistan destroyed. i saw sanctuary here on patrol with the afghan army coming on for years. a year ago would have been completely impossible. but now since i saw has been found in the early on, they have been very quiet 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 for what i saw. the base was handed over to the afghan army may. these emblems are some of the few reminders that american troops were once here

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 to the base commanders 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. draw down 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. 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 all 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 al-jazeera, a cheesy eastern afghanistan, the funeral of football legend has been held in argentina's capital. there was heavy security as his body was taken from the presidential palace where thousands lining the bull to watch for some by the size a funeral cortege carried. diego maradona's coffin to the cemetery where he was laid

to rest alongside his parents, the streets lined by tens of thousands of fans, saying 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 maradona 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 bookie 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 said what? i don't want to judge him sadly because he represented all our misery. and as it says, and this post is our happiness to get out. i like to thank maraton a for all the happiness he brought us. i don't know if somebody flows from arizona, the best of our people. thank you, diego, really thank you. i'm going to be applauded here and across argentina, in naples, in barcelona, and around the world where i don't know when the demons he battled to date, the da go to for his magic, his vision, an ability to excite and inspire live on in his fans. his era,

one of cyrus time now for a check on the world, whether his drop cycler never made landfall over time matter and rapidly fell apart . so it did have a bit of a problem with the strength of winds brought want to trees down his main issue was the amount of rain. is it raining steadily anyway, over town and to the north of andhra pradesh. so there's widespread flooding in chennai, which isn't surprising. kneedeep not everywhere but pretty widespread and to the north that poor cherry had similar come, but the rain is still falling just not as intense scene. and it will be, will do the next couple of days from under british down towards process sri lanka, a little bit further west as well. the forecast confirms it's not heavy rain light, rain or drizzle for saturday and sunday maybe a thunderstorm on monday. most of india, of course, is seeing wintry weather. yes, but a teacher up in kashmir that also prompts the need for regular road. clearing this

road, going for srinagar dark right. of here is currently seeing some snow more on sunday, but by monday it's gone again. so the cairns can continue to store them throughout india and sri lanka. but look in the bay of bengal, yet another circulation still ahead. on the news, our 100 stead's families destroyed pressure mounts on bangladesh to account for a number of killings by a leeds winnie's unit. plus why a major tech and social media giant said threatening to pull out of pakistan. and in support cesc as said noble who said new players, thanks to knock down and a t.v. show, join the details for a short distance. the landlady jumped into the stream and julian on global community diversity is biosecurity. it

june spawn him entry mexicans as frequently banks, protests, and called for political reform. the european union's chief negotiators you back in london for more negotiations for breck's a trade deal despite a lack of progress last week says significant differences persist with just 5 weeks left until britain's exit. for instance, negotiator david frost says a deal is still possible. the rise in british waters remains an unresolved issue between the 2 sides live in london. so nadine, what do we know for sure about these weekend talks? well, we know they're happening. michel bunny a coming to london later on friday for face to face talks with david frost. those talks were suspended last week when bunny went into quarantine because one of his team had covered 19. so he's definitely coming even though earlier in the week he had warned publicly that they wouldn't be coming unless there was movement from the

party site. now michel bunny has hold, held a meeting with us on friday. and a diplomat who attended is reported that they were downbeat talks. he said, michelle bunny said that the same issues still remain a sticking point. those issues are fishing rights. there's state aid to companies and they are the mechanism to deal with either side diverging own standards like environmental standards on labor standards. and so. 'd on now, one of those diplomat said that the gap remains large. we've heard in the last hour or so from david, frost himself in a tweet that he is continuing to work towards a deal. but in his words, a deal must fully respect to u.k. sovereignty. that much repeated mantra of which fishing rights is the most obvious symbol. similarly, the prime minister on friday has said that, in fact,

he's doing all he can and he hopes they'll be a deal, but repeating his line, that any outcome would be acceptable. well, the likelihood of the deal is very much determined by our friends and partners in the, in the e.u. who, you know, there's a deal that to be done if they want to do it, which would i think benefit people on both sides of the, of the joe, but let's be absolutely clear this country can prosper and will prosper mightily in either event. and if we, if we have to come out with, a so-called australian style model of a strained relationship with the e.u., we will make a great success of it. were those that i was mentioning, reportedly called on the european commission on friday, so urgently come up with contingency measures for

a no deal scenario. they're taking it very seriously. business here is as well. and that's because of the prospect of tariffs coming into effect on the 1st of january . if there is no trade deal. britain's own independent watchdog government spending watchdog. the office for budget responsibility has predicted that next year alone if there's no deal, then growth economic growth in britain will be reduced by 2 percent. and it will have a big impact on jobs as well in to the tune of hundreds of thousands of extra people unemployed. now the european parliament is shuttled to have an exceptional session of the 28th of december the last minute in which they could ratify a deal. so we really are reaching a crisis time members of the european parliament predicting that if there is a deal, it would need to be signed and signed off by lawyers as well, sometime next week to come into effect at the end of this year. at the end,

babba in london, thank you for the president of bello's alexander lukashenko has promised to step down. if a new constitution is created, he hasn't confirmed if the process is underway or even if it's being considered so far resisted months of protests calling for his resignation. critics accuse him of breaking the election and cracking down on his opponents. in france, 4 officers have been arrested after a video surfaced, showing paris police attacking and racially abusing a black music producer. it was recorded by security cameras. inside the man's studio, he told reporters that police followed him in after seeing him without a mask. earlier, the incident comes ahead of a planned protest on saturday against police violence and violence to thailand now where thousands of anti-government protesters are back on the streets in bangkok, continuing their calls for political change that calling on the prime minister to resign. they also want
