tens of thousands protest peacefully against police violence. after a video of officers beating a music producer shocks france. and i'm peter slipper in doha, with all the sports boxes mike tyson and avoid jones jr. weigh in. heavy weight exhibition fights in los angeles. ethiopia's prime minister says the military operation in the northern region is over hours after government troops entered the regional capital mackellar, the national army's chief of staff, says government troops are in full control of the city. so the gin but the learned the most. our army, after having prepared yesterday on how to control mackell, a city without incurring collateral damage on the civilian population, have now fully taken control of mackellar. as of this afternoon. now we fully

control city. our army is hunting and going after and searching for the anti peace elements that are now hiding in holes. as the leader of to ground forces has told the reuters news agency. they will continue to fight the government earlier to grin leaders said the city was under heavy bombardment, has a better one now today the city of mecca, i was subjected to artillery, shelling and airstrikes targeting the city. the regional government announces that the attacks against the city and its residents are a violent attack, and we pledge to respond to it and we will hold out despite the ferocity of the aggression. well here and commissioner for refugees appealed for access to the area . as current concern grows for more than half a 1000000 people who live there and to the region has been tightly controlled and phone and internet is cut since fighting began 3 weeks ago. in neighboring, stood on the authorities, are struggling to help more than 43000 people who fled the fighting. welcome web is following events for us from nairobi in neighboring kenya. he says there are

concerns the to grantee p.l.f. is unlikely to admit defeat and may return to their original tactics from decades ago. the pending on the, on the whereabouts of the leadership and also the, i mean they, i mean, just a few days ago, we understood they controlled tens of thousands of fighters and substantial military hardware. and they have had several months to prepare for this conflict. that was, it was, it was in the pipeline for quite some time. now that the p.l.f., began their story in $970.00 s., as a guerrilla rebel movement, hiding out in the mountains in the to great, provides the opiah they overthrew in 1901, a marxist government controlled ethiopia in the seventy's in the eighty's. then they dominated ethiopia's politics and its military for almost 30 years into prime minister took over 2 years ago. now, if they do indeed still control substantial numbers of troops and military hardware, then the certainly a fear that they will have taken those back into the mountains and may continue or

may resume this conflict as they began as a guerrilla force fighting from those mountain hideout drew is now via skype from the united states, is coordinator of the global society of 2 great scholars and professionals. thanks very much indeed for being with us. so we heard from the ethiopian government that says that events are over essentially in their regional capital. what are you hearing on the ground from there? for having me. the information that we hear is a very big job that it's not settled until a legit government is restored to its rate, which the current government is. there's going to be any peace. it's a great situation can continue to affect the entire region. so the program that we hear is not accurate. people are still there and the illegal war against the people. is there a danger?

this is continuing for much longer there. so this conflict i believe it will because, you know, apparently before, number 4 to grow was one of the most powerful ridges in a country. and there was a very successful election. there was already acceptable government and the an elected government of the a property party is trying to destabilize the federal system and install a single political narrative. so that's a problem. so. 'd definitely, if people to great will continue to resist and if this matter is not settled and still there are going to be much resistance in a future tense, but implications for the region and perhaps internationally of this conflict. it is, it is international because there are 3 different government involved, each of the federal government and government, a local militia, and also the united, united arab emirates at the plight drawn in this war. so it is an international war,

a different parties are involved and also there is a violation of international law. for example, the shimoga and refugee camps in egypt and to write are converted to military camps for we have for wounded soldiers in violation of international law. so apparently there is this war is an international war and different parties including international actors are involved. and there is apparently violation of international human rights law, including just sites and crimes against humanity. apparently, this is an international war. the government is trying to make it look like it is the loan for law enforcement oppression. it is not. so the reports on both sides of crimes that might be considered be will crimes tell, tell me in your personal capacity what sort of difficulties a getting in touch with friends and family has yes. so apparently my parents,

siblings, and extended family and also millions up to grants. are your cut from the word? there is no interest. there is is not the banks are closed. every 3 grams bank account has been closed almost for the past one week. there is a public service if a person gets sick, they can go to hospital. so apparently it's very difficult and we can hear anything about our family. so i have never heard of my family was for 23 days. now. what about reports that 2 grand civilians are being arrested in other parts of the c.f.a.? not just in the region that's affected. yes, there is. why skill profile? it's like profiling of the is we like it or primarily in the capital city and also draw the country there is its nuclear target is profiling. and extrajudicial killings arrests looking at destruction of public service. you know, so there is, there is a significant human rights violation against the grants because of their national

origin apparently. and what you think that lots of it is about being investigated. and then international community being involved in any kind of the situations that apparently the so for the crime committed by the government, it fulfills all the elements of international human rights violation, including war crimes and genocide. so apparently there's, there's going to be a prosecution against the perpetrators that committed a crime against these people just right. and i believe that, you know, it's community will get in both areas for example, that you're convenient, has resulted in about 2 days ago. and the african union, if someone was very slow, it already assigned an employee that will check your political turmoil. and if you have got so i believe been in the near future, there's going to be a criminal prosecution against the perpetrators. and everyone will be brought to justice time arms. thank you very much indeed for your force. thank you. thank you

. thank you very much. the u.n. is appealing for 150000000 dollars to help the 10s of thousands who fled to pray and international high commissioner for refugees from the foreground, a visit to the cabinet eastern border. when you see, if it is all out, as they're much more support is needed for refugees, i want to join those who are, 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 praise sudan 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. 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 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 tell him tonight. and i am going to appeal on behalf of all humanitarian agencies for $150000000.00, for the next 6 months has been, morgan is also in the can get our feet in sudan where many of the refugees are being sent from the border. refugee camp here in sudan's got out of state has expanded since it was 1st opened just over 2 weeks ago. now when it was 1st opened

it hosted about 200 if european refugees fleeing from the conflict in the region. now the camp hosts more than 7000, if european refugees and this place is becoming sort of a permanent shelter for them and till things ease back home and they say it's safe for them to return. now this is the only formal refugee camp here in the bar of state, despite sudan hosting more than 43000, if you can, the 3 trees over the past 3 weeks escaping from the conflict. in the tigre region, the other centers reception center in neighboring states and look to hear got out of state are all just reception centers, including village 8, which is about 30 kilometers from the sudan. if you're a border that hosts more than 15000, 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 phrased 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 able 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. if 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 programs 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 support to be able to respond to this current fall, the refugee crisis. people here say they'll wait to hear until things are safe before they go back home and take their revenge. if you appear coming up on this

news hour from london, the u.s. breaks more coronavirus records amid fears. thanksgiving travel will further fuel the country's surge in cases plus the iraq protest in cuba's capital. artists join a demonstration calling for the release of a jailed rapper. and support for saying he's a dominant again. plain wrong free speech will have the actions iran has a supreme leader has vowed retaliation over the assassination of the country's top nuclear scientist, closing factories a day. tehran is blaming israel for the killing. it's declined to comment, but has put all its embassies on. high alert, presided died in hospital on friday after his vehicle was ambushed by gunmen. i

said, bank reports from tara protesters outside parliament, demanding revenge. and for iran to stop the u.k. inspections by the international atomic energy agency, the anger follows the killing of top scientists most in phuket is 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. 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

factories 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 and 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 retaliation, is 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 j.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 bake al-jazeera the front. for justice have gathered in jerusalem for the 23rd straight week, demanding prime minister benjamin netanyahu step down. demonstrators gathered

outside his house off more press. this took place elsewhere in israel, calling on that and yahoo to resign because of corruption charges and his handling of the corona virus pandemic. many of the protestors lost their jobs during 2 knockdowns imposed to prevent the spread of covert 19 the us is again reported a wreck or daily higher of coronavirus cases. all than 205000 infections were confirmed on friday. taking the country's total to 13000000. number of people hospitalized with copd 19 is nearly doubled in the past month to pass 90000 and expose for the record rate of hospital admissions will surge after families and friends mingled over the thanksgiving weekend. when 1000000 people transited through u.s. airports on wednesday. the most of any single day since the start of the pandemic by cameras live from washington d.c. . so give us a situation throughout the us with these numbers on covert. well,

the figures are quite frankly, completely. in the month of november, lone 4000000, new cases were reported. now that's double the number that were reported in october, which was in itself a record. on average, some 100 $70000.00 new cases are being reported every day. the corona virus is peaking in many parts of the united states and health experts, of course, concerned about the amount of travel that has happened over the holiday week with millions of americans traveling to see friends and family across the united states . now the issue is as well very clearly that the holiday itself, the data that we got on friday, which was had record number of some 205000, slightly skewed because no results were reported in a number of states on thursday, which was thanksgiving. so this was 2 days, data essential being put out on the same day. that being said, the,

the number of tests has dropped substantially because many of the testing stations across the united states have closed for the holiday week. so there are many cases out there that are not being reported in official data. and of course, the great concern is what happens to 10 days to 2 weeks after this thanksgiving holiday. and what are the figures going to be like then if they are as high as the president, and any mention of any of this from president? well, there hasn't been anything from president trump on the coronavirus pandemic for a period of time now. friday, for example, he played golf before traveling up to camp david in the course of today, he's treated on a number of occasions, but this is centering on what he claims is fraud in the elections completely unbiased charges, also complaining about what used to be his favorite television news station saying that they are now biased towards democrats,

but no word whatsoever. about coburn. on the other hand, the biden administration, the incoming administration announced in the course of the day that a number of scientists have been appointed to biden's coronavirus advisory committee. he has been discussing the matter with scientists for a period of months now. he's formally set up a committee, so he says he can start dealing with the crisis. immediately he becomes president on january the 20th. why can i thank you very much. iran's health ministry says the spread of coronavirus there has slowed. 89 of iran's 160 cities have been cleared of their high risk rating. despite this terror on has announced the closure of non-essential government offices. iran reported almost 400 new deaths and more than 13000 new infections on saturday, bringing its national tally to at least 935000 cases. ukraine has reported a daily record of more than 16000 coronavirus cases. in the past 24 hours,

the total number of infections has now surpassed $700000.00. it comes as the country seeks a $100000000.00 loan from the world bank to buy doses of a cave in 1000 vaccine. also hopes to receive 8000000 doses from kovacs, a global initiative to ensure all countries have access to a safe and effective vaccine. well, latin america waits for the arrival of a crate of our specs. experts are warning of the challenge is getting of getting it to some of the region's most remote communities, but livelihoods in these communities from the jungles of colombia to the mountains of peru have been hit hard by the camp. panday. daniel sharma, reports on what is ari's hay for covered 19 many indigenous communities in the colombian, amazon have developed eco friendly tourism to supplement their traditional hunting and fishing. when the pandemic hits business died,

why there would be tourist came mostly for europe. europeans came away with it, had a jungle and came to our community. and when the pandemic or right everything collapsed, they struggled on and now with a vaccine on the horizon, they're planning for a new start, a better tomorrow, one of the summer. but we are preparing for the future, organizing as a community, as is our tradition, to welcome our visitors. but on the sword. for us this pandemic has been a pose for us to reflect. but it has also been very important because it helps us to protect everything that we have been working on in terms of tourism. however, health experts have warned it will be difficult to get the vaccines to some of latin, america's more remote corners, where conditions might not exist to store them. that's not what these potato farmers working high in the peruvian andes. want to hear in the best thing. personally, i have some savings from the potatoes i've sold. so with that, i'm maintaining myself. if my savings dry up, how will i sustain myself,

as i hope that the pandemic goes away? the crew of the viruses hit remote peasant, an indigenous communities, particularly hard with economy struggling. they see the price of their produce tumble. studies show that 90 percent of those living in remote rural areas are eating less well off. here in the main impact is feed security and if there is that at unemployment and the poverty levels will increase, peter curity will be complicated. capri and the rest of latin america, latin america has recorded nearly 30000000 cases of covered 19. we more government measures to contain the virus are coming under increasing pressure. a future beyond the pandemic is in sight, but it's strewn with hope and obstacles that when osiris more about the challenges of getting the vaccine to countries around the world, we're joined by professor lawrence gostin,

the faculty director of the o'neill institute for national and global health law at georgetown university. thanks very much for being with us. so in your experience, aside from the cold issue, which people have talked about, what are the biggest logistical challenges in rolling out a vaccine worldwide? well, you know, there, there are enormous. i mean 1st of all we have to have enough doses, you know, we've got billions upon billions of people on the planet. and we don't have that many vaccines. and so there's going to be a shortage. but even when we ramp up our production, it's going to be a real challenge to get the vaccines to remote rural, poor communities. not just in latin america, but in many low income countries, even in high income countries to get it to rural and poor areas is going to be really, really hard. it's gotta get 2 doses so that we have to shallow up. we have to

waste. you mentioned the cold storage problem, which at, at the moment is, is enormous. and, and so getting the health workers that we need this syringes that we need or of the infrastructure. let me just put it this way. this is the greatest global health challenge of our lifetimes. and it's going to be extraordinarily difficult. well, i mean, the other chefs opposes it, is government setting men to try to decide who should get vaccines 1st, how difficult of those choices? well, they're very difficult. i mean, the, you know, i'm an ethicist, i've been involved in w.h.o. and u.s. and european vaccine priority formulas. normally, we tend to think that the 1st people who will get it will be health workers and

then other essential workers. and then the most vulnerable, the elderly people with preexisting conditions, nursing home residents, people like that. but how we get it to poor are disadvantaged communities who suffered really badly with covert in disproportionately. so it is going to be difficult and we need to have priorities. chorus that actually take advantage of historical disadvantage among races, sex and gender religions. and just people who are, you know, aboriginal so many vulnerable people around the world. and i really believe they need to get this vaccine. tell me about the concerns about the people have that have been problems in the past with that since once when they were launched,

how much does that affect people's confidence and a willingness to be vaccinated? well, a lot, i mean i was part of an international group that just published an article in a up and in the journal nature medicine that really looked at vaccine hesitancy around the world. it was a global survey. you know, no other sort. some countries like china that have pretty high levels of trust in the vaccine, you know, mainly places around the world, including latin america, have very low trust in the vaccine. and so even if you could get the vaccine to enough people and get them to doses. we're never going to get a herd immunity unless the actual jabs go in people's arms, and people are resistant to their distrustful culture has been so politicized that

they worry about the vaccine. and that can be a huge problem. thank you very much. indeed, professor cost of a talking to thank you. thanks for having me. now there's a lot more still to come this hour, including the show must go on and how laid off u.k. senator workers are helping people transform their lives. so i just want to lack of satellites could leave us blind to vital changes in the arctic and antarctic in years and in sport, peter will be here with action into milan's latest match, and it's a stop football league. there's a distinctly gloomy feel to the weather. the good part of eastern europe has been cold. been persistent fog for a while and over the top of that this cloud. yes, admittedly says some of the fog will lift,

but it's still cold in the snow fall and any lights that they were from probably austria eastwards for the next day or so that's going to be the story. if you're in western germany or beyond, that is still cold and frosty in the morning, briefly before the sun comes out afterwards. can these unsettled weather in the central med that's going towards greece. but vienna represents the georgie. i think with temperatures dropping in the wind, picking up as a cult southeast would be wind chill to add to those snow showers for the sun will be a rarity. i think the snow proper will go down to his bow guerrier and rumania, maybe significance. now i think during monday was rain, then coming to replace it was a slight rise in temperature for the british isles and the low countries, spain in portugal. fairly nice looking. same is true of spain. if you're in greece and turkey, think it shows think of thunderstorms to clean cypress. so referred day or 2, then you've got the unfolding low to the west of portugal, which means rain down the coast of morocco and even into western sahara. and all

this time, argyria, tunisia, and libya look, cheri for the past, past boston travels the roads of mexico, raising the ecological the web and sharing creative solutions to the country's most remote demonstrating cortinas are by deep in the struggle for a better speech. to the past. passed by the cubs of the viewfinder, latin america seen on al-jazeera one name is breaks apart frome when people need to be heard and the story needs to be told. and that's why having face testing in areas with a high infection rate, with exclusive interviews and in-depth reports, people here tell us they are desperate. they're hungry and hope al-jazeera has

teams on the ground, a new kind of love to impart the 2nd look down with power to bring you more award winning documentaries and live news around the top stories here on our syria is here appears. prime minister says the military operation in tikrit region is over. after government troops entered and took full control of the regional capital mccully. earlier to grand leaders said the city was under heavy bombardment. iran is vowing retaliation for the killing of its top. you clear scientists, tehran is blaming was, in fact, result is assassination on israel. the european union and united nations are

calling for restraint. and the u.s. has reported another record daily high of coronavirus cases. more than 205000 infections are confirmed on friday, taking the country's total to $13000000.00. experts fear cases will search further . after the thanksgiving holiday. thousands of people have been protesting across france against a security law restricting the filming, and publishing of police officers faces in paris. police fired tear gas at some demonstrators who lit fires and built makeshift barricades. anger against the law has been fueled by video of the beating and racial abuse of a black music producer by police, but shot to reports from paris. despite some clashes between demonstrators and police, this protest in paris was largely peaceful. thousands of people gathered in the center of the city to rally against part of a planned law that would crack down on people's freedom to film and publish images

of police on duty. the french government says it would protect the identity of police officers. those here say it's an erosion of rights is out of bounds. it's important not to let this law pass because it would destroy our freedom to inform, especially when we're seeing lots of police violence. and even if those offices are minority, it is too much. dora tarion trend is pushing us to say to the government. they must stop and change direction and let the police know that there are these red lines. the protest comes just days after the broadcast of this shocking video, a black music producer, brutally beaten by police. and earlier in the week, an inquiry was opened off to some officers were filmed, beating migrants, and journalists, as police cleared a migrant camp. without such videos, people here say some police officers could act with impunity. it's not only these

protesters that are angry about the, nor a number of m.p.'s and senators of also expressed concern and even the un seaman rights council has called on france to protect freedoms. all that is putting a lot of pressure on the french government. the crisis prompted french president emmanuel macro, to post a message on social media. he condemned the recent images of police violence and urged his government to propose solutions to restore public confidence in the police force and protect rights. but those here say, unless the government scraps the laws controversial clause, they will continue to protest. the tasha butler al-jazeera, hires shops in france or reopened or some of the country's locked down restriction eased slightly. the 1st customers were met with applause on entering the iconic department store in paris. at market store says the pandemic has cost it was $1200000000.00. france has imposed

a nationwide closures of non-essential businesses. twice since the pandemic began in london, $155.00 people have been arrested at and t. vaccine and anti lockdown protests. hundreds of demonstrators gathered in the capital, demanding coronavirus restrictions and mask regulations be lifted. england's current lockdown is set to end in 4 days. it's fear that more than half e.u. case theaters will permanently close them in the fallout of the pandemic. that leaves up to $5000.00 people out of work. but one project in manchester is helping backstage workers retrain as part of a program that could create as many as 1000000 jobs. trying to haul reports from manchester. when code 19 brought the curtain down on live entertainment, thousands of stagehands technicians and set builders found themselves out of work. some made their way here because my partner was also all 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 north west 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 and a demand for us to be able to fill the space of what we can count of the supply. we 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, would he knew where to start looking for that enormous new workforce? i see people build sets every day of their lives when i was working, you know, building, beautiful,

magical things that entertain people also have to be structurally strong because you know you've got to do a tough number on it. 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 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 it to fix this. i was it only for 16 years, and i think 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 billing stuff. but what's different about what we used to do in a theatre instead of on the new 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 a new green economy that they hope will help save the planet. instead, join a whole al-jazeera, manchester. well, in 100 cuban artists have held a protest outside the culture, ministry, and have on or against what they say is a state crackdown on dissent. it comes after police broke up a hunger strike, calling for the release of a jailed rapper. her leg has more than a rare show of public dissent on the streets of havana. protests like this are not allowed on the island, but many of cuba's most prominent artists say they've had enough of what they're calling a government crackdown mainly against younger people. getting older. that it's time for dialogue and i think it's important that young people are heard and we're going to work for that. this demonstration follows a police raid on the headquarters of

a prominent dissident group. it's members were holding a hunger strike, demanding the release of a rapper, jailed for 8 months for insulting a peace officer. cuban authorities say they violated coronavirus measures, but they accuse the government of using the restrictions as a pretext. the government or thirty's, dressed as doctors and got into the ambulance and came here and into the houses doctors. they broke down the door of the house and beat them rights groups and the international community has criticized the action with a top u.s. state department official calling on cuba's government to respect human rights. the artists say they won't back down until they've met high level officials. the government monopolizes mass media in cuba and claims. these groups are funded by the u.s. government to subvert the state. those protesting hope the rallies like these will help take their course to a wider, international audience. cari leg al-jazeera. all goes later, carolan says u.s.
