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. it 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 province of ethiopia, 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. it took over 2 years ago. now, if they do indeed still control substantial numbers of troops and military hardware, then there's 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 hideouts the u.n. is appealing for 150000000 dollars to help the 10s of thousands who fled to agree

you must be scared of his blood a 1000 times more. the world's arrogance has to know that by killing people like fuckers on 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 your more. i would say that 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 khamenei, also pledged 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 you 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 are 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 were 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 big al jazeera, the front. iran's health ministry says the spread of coronavirus that has slowed 89

of iran's 160 cities have been cleared of the high risk rating. despite this, tehran has announced the closure of non-essential government offices. iran reported almost 400 new deaths and more than 13000. new infections on saturday, bring its national tally to at least 935000 cases. the u.s. has again reported a record daily high of coronavirus cases all into region. 5000 infections were confirmed on friday, taking the country's total to 13000000. the number of people hospitalized with kevin 19 is need doubled in the past month to pass 90000. and experts fear the record rate of hospital admissions will surge out of families and friends mingled over the thanksgiving weekend. will 1000000 people transited through u.s. airports on wednesday the most of any single day. since the start of the pandemic. mike hanna, is live from washington d.c. . so it's a situation where numbers can tell us where it's worst in the u.s.

and what the, what kind of figures, how the figures play out for the pandemic is spread out pretty evenly throughout most of the united states. and certainly these figures are utterly horrific in november alone, there were 4000000 new cases of corona virus reported. now that is double the number in october, which in itself was an all time record for the month in all on average. some $170000.00 plus new cases are being reported every day. now the figure that you mentioned there, the 205000 cases reported on friday, the slightly skewed because a number of states didn't report on thursday which was thanksgiving day. so that was 2 days data, but this is offset by the fact that a number of testing centers have closed for the holiday period. so the amount of testing being done is down. so the figures may well be even higher than they appear

at present. so of great concern to health workers and health officials and pointing to to the fact that the impact of the massive travel during this holiday week can only be properly gauged in a week to 10 days. and they are fearing that these horrendous statistics are likely to get even worse. and then we heard anything from president trump about the process. there's been nothing from president trump directly seeing the situation for a period of time. now. friday he spent playing golf and then went to the weekend retreat at camp david for the holiday weekend. he has been tweeting in the course of the day, but this is continual, baseless charges about election fraud. no mention whatsoever about the coronavirus epidemic. that's blitzing the country. on the other hand, the incoming biden administration biden announced today and now the 3 members of his coronavirus task force, who will take place when he gets inaugurated on january the 20th. he's been

discussing the problem with scientists for months, intent on getting into place when he takes over as president, being in a position to be able to start moving very quickly, his absolute priority. he says to deal with this ongoing pandemic. mike hanna, thank you very much indeed. still to come this half hour. why some remote latin american communities fear and long recovery from a coronavirus pandemic, despite optimistic that seniors and the show must go on how laid off u.k. fare to work is helping people transform that homes. it's heat wave time again. and bondi beach represents what you do in the heat wave in australia. yeah. you go in the water and you just get warm, otherwise,

or hot. now admittedly, the temperatures will change because every now and again, the wind changes of these front systems going through. obviously it's not going to be quite the same in victoria melbourne's temperature without a 19 but sydney's up to $39.00 on sunday, almost record breaking a pair of days near 40 degrees. but we'll watch that. now the change will take place on monday. so sydney goes from 39 the sunshine down to 24, the center adelaide goes the opposite way and it warms up the real heat sitting here in the outback in queens, in new south wales, back up towards our springs. in comparison purposes, a mere 21 with a southerly breeze, bringing showers on the south coast of western australia as sydney does not pick up to real warmth again after monday. down to 24. it's a windy day on tuesday. 29 degrees at best and 1025 again. wednesday. the proper winter feels coming into japan. now this is a cold wind running across the water and that shows itself but rain showers along

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 cruel of our earth of hit remote peasant in 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. 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 to prove and the rest of latin america. latin america has recorded nearly 30000000 cases. of course, with 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 for america's era. when osiris ukraine is reported a daily record of more than $16000.00 coronavirus cases in the past 24 hours, the total number of infections has now surpassed 7. 100000 comes as the country seeks a $100000000.00 loan from the world bank to buy doses of a coven. 19 vaccine. also hopes to receive $8000000.00 doses from kovacs, a global initiative to ensure all countries have access to a safe and effective vaccine. jemmy's far right f.t. has held its party conference brain together more than $600.00 delegates. despite surging kovan 19 infections, those attending were required to wear masks. after

sets every day of their lives when i was working, you know, building, beautiful, magical things, 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 them to fix this. i was alarmed for 16 years and i think i feel if i don't live in theater, if you know 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 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 the new green economy that they hope will help save the planet instead. jonah, how al-jazeera, manchester, shops and france have reopened, as some countries locked down restrictions eased. first customers met with applause on entering the iconic department store in paris . the upmarket store says the pandemic has cost it almost $1200000000.00. france has imposed nationwide closures of non-essential businesses twice since the pandemic began. i think it's been a complicated year. we're going to lose a little over 1000000000 euros in turnover for the store. so it's a very complicated year. now we'll do the sums at the end of december. it's certain

we won't make up for the loss, but we hope we'll have a good month. and also that the clients are satisfied with having a more normal life. tens of 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 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, it's out of bounds. it's important not to let this law pass because it would
