time so why did this story and in such tragedy, al-jazeera weld expose the life and why? of mazie adda on al-jazeera. this is al jazeera this is the news hour live from doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. prime minister announces an end to military operations in the northern region after weeks of fighting that forced tens of thousands from their homes, calls for restraint. following the killing of iran's top scientist,

tehran is vowing swift revenge and accusing israel of trying to create chaos, looting and violence in france, after tens of thousands protest against police brutality. what the failure to satellites about the poles could hamper what we know about climate change them through their sports boxes. mike tyson and roy jones jr, weigh in for the heavyweight exhibition fight in los angeles. so we begin with breaking news for me. theo pierre, where the prime minister says the military operation in the northern tier, a region is over. the army says it is in full control of the capital, which has been at the center of a week's long conflict between the government and regional forces. the 2 great people's liberation front says the ethiopian military used artillery and air strikes to capture the city. it is feared,

thousands of people have been killed in the offensive. united nations is pushing ethiopia to allow access to, to great to provide much needed food and shelter. it worried about the 100000 eritrean refugees who've been living in the region for years. where the conflict has forced more them, $40000.00 people from ethiopia into neighboring sudarsan. the u.n. is appealing for $150000000.00 in aid to provide water shelter and health services. let's get more from from may bring kenya in nairobi. in fact, these latest developments, what more do we know? we just heard in the last hour or so with that statement from the ethiopian military chief of staff and also from prime minister mentioned saying that they're now in control of the to grain regional capital of mcalary. now there's no access at the moment for humanitarian workers and journalists, so it's very difficult to verify the various claims that both sides have been

making. that these, these statements from the government side come just a few hours after reports of fighting and shelling in airstrikes in the city that you mention the t.p.i. left described it as a heavy bombardment. the government side repeatedly been saying that they've been doing, taking great care not to harm civilians. now that statement from the prime minister said, now that the federal police would continue their work of looking for the t.p.a. less leadership to try and bring them to court. and this leads us to say one of the key questions now is, where are betty p.l.s. leaders if they're not in mccalla. and secondly, what's happened to the substantial numbers of troops in the military hardware that they control? now, prime minister ahmed statement said that thousands of soldiers who had been held hostage by the tepee left have now been freed. but we don't know how many more still on the t. p.l.s. command. and if possibly the t.b.'s leadership and these fighters and military hardware have fled into the surrounding mountains,

it is an incredibly complex situation, isn't that in the story is probably got some way to go before it reaches any kind of resolution. but tell us a little bit of how we got to this point. lity p.l.f. dominated ethiopia's politics and its military for almost 30 years until 2 years ago when prime minister took over followed nationwide protests in different parts of the country. promised reforms in as part of those reforms to great leadership, the p.l.f. said that they were being on fairly targeted during crackdowns on corruption and past rights abuses. so this led to growing out of the t.v. l.f. felt they were being squeezed out from the powerful positions that they once held. there was a breakdown in communications. both sides stopped recognizing each other. that's what led to this armed conflict beginning just over 3 weeks ago. now that the p.l.f. began, as a guerrilla rebel group,

hiding out in the mountains in the to great province. they fought and successfully overthrew the regime that came before them. a marxist regime that dominated ethiopia in the 1970 s. in the 1980 s. . and then after being controlled for nearly 30 years, they are now apparently out holding at least to the government side claims. but they may well have retreated into those very same mountains. a lot of people fear that indeed, as he said, this may not be over and there's a chance of a guerrilla war still proceeding from here. indeed, or at markham, thanks about every time he is the deputy director of the africa program at the international crisis group. and he says, the conflict is not only between ethiopia's national army into grown fighters. there's also the fact that the ethiopian army is not necessarily working alone. there are other actors in this conflict between besides the government

forces and, and, and it is great forces diplomats in the region that are now confirming the involvement of the eritrean army in westie gray. they've also been allied militia from neighboring ammara region. and mara, special forces from the neighboring region, these 2 regions amar and also have, you know, between them. and there's been contested territories that both their political leadership sounds have claimed these disputed territories as there is. and so there's an enormous an ethnic on the ground and we've seen reports earlier this month of, of the massacres that have taken place in western to grow. so, you know, notwithstanding this particular days military campaign, there's a lot of other actors in, in the it is part of this conflict who don't answer necessarily directly.

what we've been talking about, the 10s of thousands of people who fled the fighting lieutenant from hibbett morgan, who is in the camp in got there, if in sudan, which is where many of them are being relocated. oh morocco. but a refugee camp here in sudan got a lot of state has expanded since it was 1st opened just over 2 weeks ago. now when it was 1st, opened it hosted about a few 100 if european refugees fleeing from the conflict in the sacred region. now the camp hosts more than 7000, if european refugees and this place is becoming sort of a permanent shelter for them until things ease back home and they say it's safe for them to return. now this is the only formal refugee camp here and about of state despite saddam hussein more than 43000 if you can refugees over the past 3 weeks escaping from the conflict in the tigra region. the other centers have reception

center in neighboring customers state and look to here in lot of state are all just reception centers, including village 8, which is about 30 kilometers from the sudan is the opium border that hosts more than $15000.00 if european refugees. now most of them here stand under the scorching sun waiting for food aid and waiting for food distribution. but they say that this is much better than being back home, not knowing what they could have faced. many families speak of leaving their loved ones behind of witnessing people being slaughtered of atrocities. they say that forced them to flee and come here to sudan seeking refuge, but aid organizations say that they need help in terms of responding to the influx of refugees. they say that in the coming 6 months, they expect up to 200000 its european refugees to come here to sudan seeking refuge from the to great region. because of the conflict. should the fighting continue. they say that they need financial assistance or funding for the program to be able to respond to this refugee crisis that is unfolding. because sudan as a government,

despite hosting them already hosts nearly 1000000 other refugees in various other states and therefore will not be able to cope with this crisis on its own. so while the aid organizations are sounding the alarm and calling for supposed to be able to respond to this current unfolding refugee crisis, people here say they will wait to hear and till things are safe before they go back home and take their region in ethiopia. let's have a morgan, we'll have more on the story later in the bulletin, including an update from the un's the un's high commissioner for refugees. he'll tell us more about what support is needed for those who've crossed into sudan. and as the number of coronavirus cases surge in the united states, health experts warn the worst is yet to come. if you come crowned african champions of peace and protect her. right. that's coming up, peter spoke. so

iran is vowing retaliation over the assassination of the iranian scientists. motion for visiting the country's leaders are blaming israel for the killing. israel has declined to comment for preside. they was killed in an ambush. on friday, after his car was attacked by unknown gunmen said, bank reports now in tehran, protesters outside parliament, demanding revenge. and for iran to stop new claims, but actions by the international atomic energy agency. the anger follows the killing of top scientists to mosques in phuket is that it gunned down by attackers in his car, in a suburb east and thrown on friday. his family speaking on state t.v., also called for revenge. a naughty chair. he was a scientist and at the same time, a very kind and affectionate husband who loved his country. i plead to others to continue his path and to not let his blood go in vain. his path was very important

for him and his blood was spilled for it. as far as i tell, the world's arrogance, that if they were afraid of this mosque and this country's progress, and if they were worried about progress made by this mosque, you must be scared of his blood a 1000 times more. the world's arrogance has to know that by killing people like fuckers are the this path of progress will not be stopped. president hassan rouhani blamed israel for the assassination of iran's, most senior scientist been more am what i would say. the relevant authorities will respond to this crime in a timely an appropriate manner. the iranian nation is smarter and wiser than falling into the trap of the zionist conspiracy. the supreme leader, ayatollah khomeini, also pledged to retaliation, asking for the perpetrators to be firmly prosecuted for the work of others to continue. iran has launched an investigation in what is an embarrassing breach of security. but political factions differ about what the response should be. this

latest incident will impact on any plans u.s. president elect. joe biden has for talks with iran on the nuclear deal known as a joint comprehensive plan of action or j.c. reached in 2015. i think it will make any negotiations on the j. c. p. a way, much more complicated and not just from the american side. i think it's going to be difficult enough for president biden, but it's further complicated by the reaction in iran to this killing, one of their most senior scientists. and you have the upcoming elections in iran in a few months. so it's going to make it even more difficult for the moderates. who would like to see a pattern up in the jay c.p.o. way. for now, the world is watching and waiting to see what iran will do next. iran's reformists want to save the 2015 nuclear deal. that means waiting for joe biden to take office and hope the u.s. rejoins undef sanctions. the conservatives seem to have run out of patience. i want

to stop i.a.e.a. inspections. others want a strong response. the country has fired one, but no one knows where, when or what form that will take assad big al jazeera, the front. let's hear now from al-jazeera senior political analyst mark bashara explains why so many top officials are blaming israel for this escalation. well, if it is by precedence or by pattern, it is rather if it is by new york times, rather serious reporting depending on 2 intelligence sources and one israeli source, it is again, is read. if it is by the usual judgment of who benefits it is. israel, if it's judged by prime minister netanyahu was rather ironic and 3 spawns today that i have a lot of great things to do. but there is a few things i cannot talk about. he is basically emphasizing affirming that he did

give the order to carry out that. so in probably every possible way he could see that israel, they'd carry the, i think i'm nuts, but not least when, a number of former u.s. officials like c.i., a former head john brennan, condemned attacks and other say, why aren't you could demagogue because israel did it clearly, israel did it with the israelis will tell you as others with an op, agree with that, that whenever they get the chance to carry such an attack that they've been planning for, for, for a long time, they've got it, they're gardeners. but if it's today yesterday or next week, but clearly the israelis have been escalating their planning against iran in order to take advantage of that window between when the elections took place on november 3rd and january 20th, when president biden, thanks place, there's a bit of

a vacuum there, and clearly trump and mr. should would support what ever israel does as it's been made clear by some retreating on the part of the american president. basically giving a tacit support for such action. there have been scuffles between police in france. protests have descended into violence with shops, headlights and tear gas fired. it follows a peaceful rally where tens of thousands marched against a new bill aimed at restricting the filming in the publishing of police officers. images. critics say the law would stifle attempts to expose police misconduct and brutality. well, the protests have been fueled by a recent video of paris police beating a black music producer in his studio 4 of the officers involved have been arrested the president of mental micro. so the incident has brought shame on the country and he called for his government to fight discrimination to restore confidence in the police. let's go now to our correspondent who's following events in paris and tell

us about these protests and what's been happening where there were some clashes between some demonstrators and police officers. i mean, you might get to see behind me that there's a row of cars there. all the bones out shops have been smashed as well, but it has to be said. those were relatively minor incidents and watch what it was by a knowledge of very peaceful protests. protests, thousands of people gathered in the center of paris to rally against part of this new security law that's being proposed by the french government. now the crews in the north, as so many people are upset about is one that would basically mean that the future disseminate. any images of police officers, online broadcast or printed and published would be cracked down on by the government. what the government is saying is important to do that in order to

protect the identity of police officers who often do a very difficult in often very dangerous situations. but what protestors are saying, what they told us today is that this is basically an erosion of freedom of information expression and an erosion of rights. but it must be noted, this protest comes in a week in which we've seen some rather high profile incidents. all police violence here in france, we saw a video which showed police officers, brutally beating producer. and also in the week police were accused of using excessive force while clearing a migrant camp in the center of paris. so the debate around police violence really fueled by these incidents and that's of course people's minds today. and the touches said, tell us more about the government response to the president saying the incidence of brought shame on the country. but what is he capable of doing about it?

well, that's the question. i mean, there is an awful lot of pressure on the government at the moment. we've seen the french interior minister, one of the main supporters of this know he's going to be actually questioned in the national assembly on monday about these recent incidents of police violence, the prime minister had said that he was going to set up a commission to try and perhaps rewrite the article in this law because there is such a debate over it. but that was talked down by some members of his own party that's not going to be happening within a couple of really seems in crisis. and the french president emanuel michael, posting on social media that these images of police violence are shameful, is not in keeping with the republican values. he's called on his government to try and come up with some solutions and propose ways to try and reinforce confidence between the police and the public. again, it's hard to see what exactly the government's going to come up with because what most people said to us today here at this protest is what very want is for this law simply to be withdrawn or in touch. thanks very much today senator. in paris,

we're going to take this on now. i'm going to speak to dex estacado who's the representative of foreign relations at the committee for justice and truth for adama. he joins us live by skype from paris, texas to kind of welcome to the program called $24.00. this new bill aimed at restricting new filming in publishing of police officers. images has been the focus of these protests, but the, the resentment goes much deeper than just about police brutality. just tell us more . it definitely does. goes deeper. you go deeper because of the fact that those things have been going on for a lot. a lot of years, a lot of a lot of the caves and not because of the cell phones and things like that. you understand public opinion is pretty much involved in what's going on in the justice department. the justice department, pretty much not present charges on the, on the police officers that do those crimes basically. and they just

move them to another part of the highest. so there is not just is going on in, in we sell full shooting in filming, was going on to nonwhite. people are refugees. you saw exactly what happened in the beginning of the week with the refugees. you saw what happened with the mission is a clear was being beat down by 12 agents, police officers, agents, and the fact that the article 24 of the of the new law is trying to prohibit the people to film happens to them is pretty much what breaks the camel's back right now, give us an impression of the, an idea if you like, of the, of what it's like living in the shadow of the racism that you describe as, as you go about your daily life. i can give you the

facts. the facts are the court, the court in france has a pretty much condemned trained as a state to identity cheik nonwhite people on a regular basis. so i could give identity check 7 times a day, 49 times a week. it happens a lot. if i'm not polite and love, if i don't, if i don't know how to manage the group of police officers that talk to me, i could get beat down. and in a basically i could out and walk home with the other motto is do is the fact that our only very day he just went outside dressed like a like it was his very day. really. he really was a joyful in everything. everybody in the city no knew him, is being chased down by the police. he had to hide in somebody else's apartment to escape then he did, he get spotted. and then he died in the police station. and we pretty much know

that because of the, you know, like the statements that the police, as the police officer mates, when the deed is done and now like the committee, it's pretty much facing charges try to press charges to get the police officers indicted. but this is not going on because he wasn't taped. and even if those, those statements from the police of the states that say they said, i can brave your all on you on my body. i cannot breathe right now. i cannot breathe, i cannot breathe. and he died afterwards, even if they say that we cannot get justice or that the hour and i must feel and violent that i'm living through right now, is pretty much trying to manage and manage fear and understand exactly what's going on to the police officers mind was going on in the government, what they try to achieve was the gender because as a citizen, my father was since my grandparents were citizens of france. so in the,

in the constitution in the laws, it is stated that everybody is created equal. all men and women are created equal and we have the same rights. but this is not implemented. so this is what i'm living. listen, when i was on a daily basis, we hear about the concept of institutionalized racism in the united states. is that what you're talking about there in france as well? it's pretty much they have their similarities, but there's differences because of the fact that the citizens cannot have weapons. we don't have weapons. i've lived in new york for 2 years, so i can a saw the parallels between the police over there in the police of a. and there's a, there's a matter of fear, like there's a fear factor based on the cultural history of both countries. and the big difference is the fact that we die for identity check. we do not have weapons too, just in case to defend a source stuff like that. so there are similarities and there's big differences too

. like the and the ends are all the same pretty, pretty much in the, into a police, into policeman's hands. you can die basically this simple fact. all right, we'll have to leave it there to kind of, we do appreciate your time. thank you very much. thanks for having me. so hundreds of police and paramilitary personnel have been deployed to control protesters in iran and around india's capital. thousands of farmers have refused to move to a designated area and a blocking roads and border crossings around new delhi. angry about new laws, they say, could put them out of business. it is a culture minister, has agreed to talks, has withdrawn his move from the protests. we were at the single border crossing between the states of haiti and delhi, with thousands of farmers remain. camped out this busy national highway has become a track to city with pharmaceuticals. as far as the eye can see, and a very close have been converted to temporary homes because the phone

a say they're not going anywhere. they are refusing to go to the grounds on the outskirts of the city that the government allocated to them to protest. they say that if they aren't allowed to march into the center of the capital, new delhi, they're going to block highways around the capital and they're going to cause as much disruption as possible until the government repealed these family was here. they are raising farm union flags. they are making speeches, criticizing the beach, if you government and its policies. the government, meanwhile, is appealing to them to stop the protests. they've invited them for talks on december, the 3rd, the pharma say the 1st round of talks didn't go anywhere. and that's because they say that the government is not the sure and that a guaranteed minimum price for they produce will remain. and that this is not good for farmers, and it's going to leave them at the mercy of large corporations, allowing private companies to buy from farmers directly. voters in mr.

to where i'm supposed to be in the night. india's decision to revoke self rule in the majority muslim populated region has caused anger. and many kashmiris are determined to make their voices heard. what is the other hours of by a reid plan to boycott the elections, but after the group got alliances,, fog it compulsory thing. we decided we will cast our would get to be d.p., a big number. 6 of members of india's governing hindu nationalist, b j. p. have been campaigning hard on the board, the parties you've joined hands under the good car alliance, our corrupt parties delivering justice. people have understood this and are now following us. political analysts say there's a lot at stake for the government in this election. if you have a significant water store, not you will the government, if we have a definitive show, the world that yes, people of kashmir have gone silent for some reasons with the situation. and now

they're back to life, not only for their normal life, but even for the political and democratic life. everything is back to normal and that is what the government of we haven't tried to project out of these elections. the elections are happening across the region in 8 phases and will end on december the 19th with results expected 3 days later. victoria gating be al-jazeera. the still ahead here on al-jazeera, the new pilot program in the u.k. that's helping former theater workers gaining the skill of to be laid off because of coronavirus. rare, protested the cuban capital. dozens of artists join a demonstration in havana, calling for the release of a jailed rock. we got support coming up to of course miss avies dominance again in qualifying for the bahrain grand prix. peter will have a reaction. it's

been raining heavily in eastern iraq and the western side of iran, less have elise who sat its great deal of cloud around your notice this figure $109.00 millimeters in the last 36 hours on the western side of iraq is significant . this is a mountainous area. this will have caused flash floods. this will be rain. the snow with some highs in on sunday will be more snow falling in iran up into azerbaijan as well. the following weather is largely fine. not particularly colder up to nearly 20 in beirut. and this line here through saudi arabia is focused scattering of breaks of light rain i suspect. and this clears syria, which took my list and then the next better shot is coming through into cyprus and the levant will be sunder, stalls as well. i suspect tanzania did catch some pretty big rain earlier in the month. and zanzibar, surprisingly has been a focus in the last couple of days,

$43.00 millimeters since yesterday, didn't see much this month. 205 doesn't see much. it's a bit more than the average, but not a huge amount. so east africa's not particularly the moment, there is significant rain inland in the rift valley dancers and towards south africa, i'd like to see some in malawi or think not but johannesburg. oh yeah, that's 3, thundery days. coded 19 is a public health crisis that has been compounded by capitalism, navigates the big questions, raised by the global pandemic of profit. us capitalism is the pandemic. so much of the exploited to protect the people for the profit episode, one of the full hailed the meltdown on al-jazeera as a 2nd wave of covert,

19 brings us surgeon infections a few months ago. there were dozens of cases a day. now if we chose 2000 and countries and force new measures to curb contagion, this is the 1st step forward for the government aim of mass testing in top. scientists are on the brink of releasing new vaccines to reduce the spread of the virus. will it be enough to bring the global health crisis to an end? the coronavirus pandemic, special coverage on a but again, you're watching out there are mind of our top stories. this and ethiopian prime minister says the military operation in the north into great reason is over at the

army says it is in full control of the capital mechanic, which has been at the center of a week's long conflict between the government and regional forces. iran's supreme leader is vying retaliation for the killing of a top nuclear scientist. iran is blaming the most, in fact, as it is assassination on israel. and the european union has described the killing as a criminal act and is urging restraint. largely peaceful protests in paris have descended into violence with shops, satellites, and take gas by tens of thousands gathered to rally against the new bill into restricting the filming. and publishing of police officers images well, but now to our top story and the fighting in ethiopia that's forced thousands from their homes and into neighboring sudan. my colleague fully back to both spoke to flee, poke around the united nations high commissioner for refugees, and he says, more support is desperately needed. i want to join those who are calling

even more urgently for mediation and end of conflict, because this is what these people around me are fleeing and they're still fleeing. the numbers have decreased the numbers of our rivals, but still they're in their hundreds for a day yesterday, i was at the border and i met people just arriving more than 500 arrived yesterday through the various crossing points. i want to be on record to pray for having kept its borders open. sudan already has a 1000000, refugees, countless displaced people, and yet it kept its borders open. it provided the 1st assistance, and now i'm here to coordinate and boost international support to sudan and mobilize resources for this response to be effective response or was a little made. many reporters were on the ground before your own teams, including our own reporters. why is that? why was it difficult for you to get this operation under way? i think we actually moved quite quickly. it's

a very remote area. as your correspondents know, all the logistics is difficult, so we have to gear up. but i think that now the response is, is functioning. we have some challenges. people are arriving at the border in various points. we have to transport them to sites like this one where i am now. it's an 8 hour drive through difficult, broads, on the flimsy buses. it's not easy to do all this. it takes a bit of time, but i had meetings with the authorities here in the region today. and i think we are beefing up by the way. i'm returning to how to win tonight. and i am going to appeal on behalf of all humanitarian agencies for $150000000.00, for the next 6 months. we need to be ready for a few months of assistance, hoping that eventually people can go back and, but many of the refugees aren't using official border crossings from what we understand. so how is the u.n. a.c.r. able to ascertain the number and the current needs?

when the sudanese government is receiving them or so at an official board, there points wherever they have access and then they transport them to the official once where screening occurs, registration 1st assistance and then for those who want transport to a more stable place, many people don't want to move from the border. they're watching what the situation, how the situation develops in the great region of ethiopia and making a decision whether they want to go back or stay in sudan for another while it's complex. new restrictions will be imposed in los angeles county in california for monday in response to a surge in corona virus cases. health officials have issued a stay at home order, which will last for 3 weeks. all private and public gatherings of people from different households have also been banned. and this comes as the number of recorded infections rose by 2000000 in 2 weeks. and that brings the total number of cases nationwide to 13000000. and let's speak now to marcus prussia,,

who is the chief medical officer at this o.c.a., sion of state and territorial health officials, joins us live via skype from charlotte, north carolina, welcome to the program. so these statistics are staggering out there. the rate of hospitalizations is now at the highest since a pandemic began. is drawing all sorts of alarm from public health experts. how bad do you rate the situation is it's very, very uncertain. and right now we're seeing very high rates of infection in a number of places really across the entire united states. and, you know, a thing to point out is that we just finished a big national holiday on thanksgiving. this, this, we're in the middle of it this weekend and there's a lot of concern that many people will convene for this holiday. and that may drive rates even higher. right? is not just giving. we've had black friday as well. people going shopping, to what extent are they people disregarding public health guidance and how much effect does that have on numbers?

well, it's a little difficult to know right now. so there's been a lot of public warning about thanksgiving and asking people not to convene in large groups for large thanksgiving, get togethers, and to really try to keep it very small and keep it within a small bubble of people that you know. and that you have some knowledge of whether they may have been made out of and exposed, but we'll just have to see. i mean, there were certainly reports of people traveling as they always do. and it's concerning that, you know, people's behaviors have not changed, in which case we really could see a lot more infection coming up. some restrictions have been put in place, quite literal stretches have been put in place in certain states. so why has it got so bad and, and how do you think it is looking down the line? well, we had restrictions earlier in the pandemic, and then little by little, many states and places were trying to relax those restrictions. so the people have a lot more freedom and also so that we could have the economy come back a bit. and you know, i think the result of that is that now that those restrictions are easing off,

we're starting to see increases. and we also think that some of this may be that the weather is starting to get colder in the united states. so people, when they do come together, they're less able to do that outdoors, which we think is safer. and there's also some suggestion that in the cold weather when the air is drier, the virus may transmit more easily. so those are a number of factors that played into this. we think it's going to be, we're very concerned about the upcoming. next few months, the winter months, but we're also optimistic that once we get through that, there is a light at the end of the tunnel that we, it's very promising that we have several vaccine candidates. now. it's also very promising that we have some new chemotherapeutic spread occasions that can help people when they, when they are infected with coated help keep them from developing more severe contre complications. so there's some positive things in the future,

but we've just got to get through the next few months and it's good to see that states are taking this seriously. and that places are starting to close back down and put more prescriptions. he does get through the next difficult, just one quick question for me, have the right hospitalizations and say it is rising, it seems exponentially. but what do we know about the rates of the numbers of fatalities? well, that tends to lag behind the hospitalization rate. so unfortunately, i'm afraid we still may have that. can we have seen improvements in mortality because we have better treatments now. but it's a little early to say, you know, what's going to happen with this next wave. because we do appreciate your perspective and your analysis of this thanks very much to thank you. thank you very much. felt france is reopening stores ahead of the season as it slowly begins to ease coronavirus restrictions. the president and general macro says the peak of the

wave has passed. the 2nd national law is due to be lifted on december 15th, and that is when theaters and museums will start operating again. restaurants and, bars will still be closed until january, krause, in the u.k., hundreds of people took to the streets to protest against the government's lockdown measures. there. demonstrators got involved in scuffles with the police, and more than 60 people were arrested. in fact, central london, the current restrictions in place include a ban on mass gatherings for more than half of theaters in the u.k. will permanently close as a result of the pandemic, it's left up to $5000.00 staff out of work. one project in manchester is helping form a backstage workers to retrain and it could create as many as 1000000 jobs. reports from i just went code 9000 brought the curtain down on live entertainment, thousands of stage hands technicians, and set builders found themselves out of work. some made their way here because my

partner was also made redundant and i had to bring in the money for the families so that we could be able to eat for it or lives in the northwest of england. former theater workers are turning their hands to a pilot program, but with government support could create energy efficient homes across britain and jobs to replace many of those lost. our housing isn't up to the worst performing in europe. if we're going to get 27000000 houses to the, to enough of a reduction energy demand for us to be able to fill the space of what we can count of the supply. usually we need an awful lot more than our current construction workforce. i estimate that if we're going to bring houses to this kind of standard nationally, we need about a 1000000 people working over the next 18 years to get us to 0. when charlie met former theatre technician and drew glass for it, he knew where to start looking for that enormous new work force. i see people build

sets every day their lives when i was working, you know, building beautiful, magical things that stain. people also have to be structurally strong because you know you've got to do it tough to run it and it's got to lift people. but this guy, i just thought, well, i bet they could at least have a go at this. and to call it a silver lining, maybe is a bit mccard. situation is i'm just seeing as how we can help people right now or in a crisis. they've got skills, let's use them to fix this. i was alarmed for 16 years and i feel i feel as though i don't live in theatre if you like. it's all right. it's similar to what we used to do in building stuff. but what's different about what we used to do in theater, instead of on the trailer with a piece of set that's only built when you're just putting stuff together with me physically making things for a property which is night. it really is nice. no one could be quite sure when theaters and live entertainment venues will reopen and play to capacity, audiences, nor what levels of funding may exist to help save the arts after the pandemic. what

seems clear is that not all those who worked in the sector before could afford to wait and find out some of put their skills to good use of the tip of the new green economy that they hope will help save the planet. instead. joe, the whole al-jazeera. manchester pope francis has elevated 13 new cardinals during a formal ceremony that took place. it's in peter's basilica in vatican city. one of them is wilton gregory, who's the archbishop of washington d.c. . he's now made history as the 1st african-american to receive the highest rank in the catholic church, gregory said he sees his appointment as an affirmation of black catholics in the united states, or pro-abortion rights protesters, a march in poland's capital of warsaw after last month's ruling restricting access to the procedure, there being daily protests, a constitutional court, more terminations, in cases of birth defects in october. poland now has some of the strictest abortion laws in europe on thursday, the european union very to,

break down could hamper research on climate change. satellites measure the thickness of ice at the top and at the bottom of the world, scientists have called them witness to global warming, but they may be decommissioned before any more satellites launched. but to explore this further, amy thompson is a science writer and a contribution at space dot com joins us live from orlando, florida by skype. amy, welcome to the program to talk about this fascinating story. tell us more about these satellites and what they do and they're quite unique in the orbit that they take only. yes, that's correct. so there is actually 2 different types of ice that they monitor the ice sheets which are formed by compacted snow fall and sea ice, which is frozen ocean water. so these 2 in particular fly over the poles, the arctic and the antarctic, and they're the only satellites that can look at those particular regions. so

there's a nasa satellite called i sat 2 which uses laser beams to measure the ice height. and then cryo sat 2 which is a european satellite that uses radar to make the same types of measurements. so what they're doing is on your right and so what's happening to them so that one more time, they're doing a pretty good job because as they are going right now, so what's happening to them? what's a problem? well, they're only designed to last a certain amount of time. so i sat launched and 20 team. its mission was for 3 and a half years, but it has enough fuel onboard to make it to 2025. so it could record measurements until then. cryo sat. 2 has been in space for 10 years now and it's running out of fuel and it's having some battery issues. so in order to continue these types of crucial measurements,

scientists need to start now on the next generation of satellites are going to do this job. and there's a statens, the next generation of satellites will not arrive in time because these 2 satellites would have been decommissioned by them. correct? your isa is working on a satellite that could launch the earliest had 2027 or 2028 if they receive crucial funding. and if that goes as planned, then there would still be a 2 year gap in these types of measurements. so scientists are trying to come up with ways to close that gap. and we've got something we're going to have this black hole of information. how serious is that? it's very serious because sea ice and these types of things govern many climate issues all across the world. ocean currents, weather,

things like hurricanes and different types of storms like that are all, you know, dependent upon sea temperatures. and that ice is a big factor in that. and very briefly, you say they're trying to close the gap to fill the spaces that were what potential solution could be? well, nasa used an airborne observatory called ice bridge, and it operated for several years in between. i sat one and i sat 2, so it's essentially an airplane with similar instruments that they have in space right now, and it flies seasonally over the poles. so in the spring time, it would fly over the arctic and in the winter it would fly over the antarctic. so europe is proposing a similar type of aircraft that would do the same measurements. so the measuring could continue or at any time soon appreciate your expertise on this. thanks very much indeed. thank you. still ahead would support

the new zealand rugby team pay their respects to diego? maradona. peter will be here with captaining a leading used team at 16 years old. takes determination to the staying on top of your game at school. the whole family bands together and shares the sacrifices necessary for a son to have a shot at becoming a professional footballer. my tune is your home game on a jersey. i want a hands on challenge working in asia and africa. there'd be days where i'd be choosing editing my own stories in a refugee camp that know it's interesting. and right now we're confronting some of the greatest challenges that humanity has ever faced. and i really believe that the

aged $54.00 back on the scales for the 1st time in 15 years. he's taking on another former heavyweight champion roy jones jr. who himself is coming out of retirement. we know it'll be an exhibition fight of 82 minute rounds. but this confusion over the rules with some reports suggesting that knockouts won't be allowed. tyson hinted, that might not be the case though. it could be entertaining, you know, because i'm afraid the players and a cushion know when they need those punches. and then i personally think tyson's training videos have been going for. i wrote what's known as the baddest man on the planet. he was the most fit name in boxing. and in 1986 became the youngest heavyweight world champion in history. you know, it was like miss boxing. you realize that would be an easy thing to get them back

now, because we've all lived, if you find people he was really a master to be and we want to master one of them to him. now that the night he has the desire to want to come out and be we want to do, we knew he was could do change. ginia is 3 years younger than tyson, and the 4 white world champion. but like his opponent, he's well past his prime and many questioning how safe it is for them to fight. as the brain gets older, tissue is not quite as pliable as it was before, so i think they probably are at at greater risk of more serious injury like brain bleeds. the pay per view bout will cost $50.00 for fans in the u.s. with tyson set to earn $10000000.00, which he says he'll donate to charity. he may be in his fifty's, but he still box office. i don't look at life with the energy

if merinos to one in group h., the win means both teams are on. 9 points with 2 matches left to play over in the italian city are in some a land of down their best to stay in touch with the clubs at the top of the standings. but before the match against began, there was a moment of silence to honor the who died at the age of 60 on wednesday, from a heart attack on the field into a cruise to a comfortable 3. no victory, thanks to goals from alexa sun, she is the director and goal and it's not just football tributes to diego maradona. we've been seeing. new zealand rugby team has made its own gesture. they were playing argentina in the tri nations . and before kickoff. captain sam came for a sense of their opponents with an all black suit with merit on his name and number . as for the match itself, argentina were looking to beat new zealand for the 2nd test in a row, but it was

a very different story. this time around the 10 players of the last 2 extra with australia at the all blacks probably have a 38 mil school food tries to get a bonus point, an all but secure the tri nations title. elsewhere england will play in the autumn nations cup final of the beating wales $2413.00 in their final group stage match henry slade and mako vunipola scored tries for england. while in feral kicked 14 points, france will be their opponents in the final if they beat italy later. and we'll finish with some action from the ski jumping world cup event in the rocha family, and this is a reigning champion, marcus eisen, of the german ice and big jump here is in the h. 142 event. that's a large deal. the germans to germs, combined total $313.00 metres, which was enough to give him victory and to keep him at the top of the world cup
