lose the narrative. i don't have a narrative of how the bush should join me or show qiryat up front is my guest. i'm around the world, take a hot seat and we debate the week's top stories in pressing issues here on our just your ethiopia's prime minister says the military has taken control of tikrit as regional capital, but forces there valid to keep fighting i know that i missed on the attack, this is al jazeera live from doha, also coming up protests in paris against a new all making it illegal to publish pictures of police officers, turn into demonstrations against police brutality and iran over the assassination of a top nuclear scientist. and a promise for

a venusian due time. and private 19 infections break war records in the united states health experts warn that the west may still be just as prime minister. i'll be off. meds says the 3 week long military operation in the northern tier, a right region is now over this, after the army announced it has gained full control of the regional capital. but the leader of the to great people's liberation front has vowed to keep fighting. government forces have been local reports from the sudan, ethiopia porsha, 2 days after the end of the deadline. if you piers government gave to do to group people's liberation front to surrender, the federal army launched what it called its final phase of the fighting. these videos were handed out by the ethiopian government on saturday afternoon. hours later it announce victory, and that its taken over the capital of the northern region,

mecca our army after having prepared yesterday on how to control nicholas city without incurring collateral damage on the civilian population of niggly. have now fully taken control of mcgillis city. as of this afternoon, our army is hunting them and going after and searching for the elements that are hiding in the holes. and that's the battle for michael. it comes after weeks of fighting integrate. it began in the 1st week of november following a government offensive against the 2 great people's liberation front. the offensive was a response to an attack by the front on a military base, which came after months of tension between the regional authorities and the federal government. a communications blackout was imposed and access to the region blocks since the start of the fighting. even prior to the attack on the to grand capital. fighting in other places in the region forced tens of thousands of civilians to flee. more than 43000, people cross the border into sudan seeking refuge is one of more than 15000 who

fled to this camp in sudan's got out of state. obviously, they were looting our properties and wanted to kill us. so we all fled. we heard our people being shot, we saw dead bodies, so my family and i took what we could from our properties. we are farms we should be harvesting, but we left everything behind. some even left their family members. the united nations says it's expecting up 220-0000 refugees to arrive to sudan by april. should the conflict in the region continue? the head of the un refugee agency told al-jazeera that support is needed to cope with the refugee crisis. they tell us, we want to wait and see how the situation develops in degree, in order to make a decision. concern is legitimate, so we continue to be with them. here, we're stepping up the operation. the beginning emergencies are always a little bit slow, but i think it's stepping up quite quickly. and if we get the resources that i'm calling for

a 150000000 dollars for the humanitarian community and the government for the next 6 months, we'll be able to have a well organized response here. but we do hope that the situation improves in their country, so they can go back, says it'll continue fighting against the federal government. it seems, even with the government forces appearing to take control of the region's capital. the conflict integrate may be far from over. he will morgan al-jazeera state the horn of africa, and also a senior research fellow at the institute of studies. he says it's likely to grow in forces of tactics after reports of attacks on the eritrean capital. this clearly is a regional war. now the eritreans had a number of divisions on the northern border and were involved in the fighting. we have heard unsubstantiated reports that some of the refugee camps for that the air tran's were living and that they were raided by eritreans. and that they took some

of the young people on to the frontline in mckellar and we using them to fight, which would be of course, completely against humanitarian law. as the u.n. representative was saying, he is now inside sudan, the real. ringback question now is, will the sudanese allow aid and assistance into to grey including perhaps things like fuel which they to gran's will desperately need if they going to mount a guerrilla war as they did for nearly 2 decades? until $991.00 is that going to happen? so already this is a regional conflict. now, protests have been held across france to protest against a planned law that restricts filming, and publishing place officers faces anger against the proposed legislation has also been fueled by a video that shows place beijing and racially abusing a black music producer. a clash about 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 abrasion of rights. 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 law or a number of m.p.'s and senators of also expressed concern. and even the un's human 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, called in the police force and protect rights. but those here say, unless the government scraps the laws controversial close, they will continue to protest. al-jazeera, paris, iran's supreme leader has vowed to retaliate for the assassination of the country's top nuclear. scientist was in fact that it was killed on friday in tehran,

as banning israel prime minister benjamin netanyahu hasn't commented. but he has put all israeli embassies on high alert. as a bank reports from tehran, protesters outside parliament, demanding revenge. and for iran to stop nuclear inspections by the international atomic energy agency, the anger follows the killing of top scientist most in fact, it is gunned down by attackers in his car in, a suburb east into her 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. sticks 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 there. 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 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 khomeini 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. p. o. 8 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, 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, or for mr. 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 to strong response. the country has fired one, but no one knows where, when or what form that will take assad bake al-jazeera. the one on al-jazeera

senior political analyst explains why so many top officials are blaming israel for the assassination. 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, a 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 response 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 and probably every possible way he could see that israel, they'd get it. 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. the israelis would 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 thinks 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, hostile ahead here on out of there, by bangladeshi rockets, hit hard by the pandemic are arriving home from abroad without wages, because they can't torture or was incompetent. and scientists want to lock the satellites, could leave the wild, implying, so changes in the arctic and antarctic because of climate change. i am, i am hello, this is the season of the northeast monsoon. when winter forms of the land mass, the big landmass of the north east to china in siberia, you get snow showers start to fall in and that's happening at the moment. but for the most part, it's quiet just getting coldest nice and sunny by day for the most part. beijing, for example. this persistent northeast means the or rain continuously in taiwan,

the east coast at least the northeast coast. there fairly frequent showers at the moment of rain on the coast of honshu, but snow on the mount, you'll see it, i think on fuji, with this cold breeze. you know, we pick up big showers again in the south china sea. this development here to watch that significant rain from vietnam, particularly vietnam and cambodia during sunday. and the massive cloud here is edging eastwards through java taking big showers with it as the 2 areas to watch and to the west of java south sumatra, a potential development of a tropical side to watch that close to martin just develop into something. and you might have caught the same sort of thing trying to develop in the south. the bay of bengal. well, we just had one go on land as you know, this one, i'm not sure if it will develop or where it is clearly drifting that general direction. that's where the rain is. this time of the year for india, further north is caught, was low inequality,

romania's, ancient forests, some of europe's most pristine. they are crucial for our society. a crucial fall battle against the climate crisis, but illegal logging by a ruthless timber maffia is destroying both the landscape and people's lives. logging in the main areas, our dark bungs violence, killing whistleblowers, amidst claims of corruption, and the role of powerful multinationals. people in power investigate rumania, break of the forest on al-jazeera, move the earth, or to hello again. i'm the star of the attainder that's remind you of our top stories at

this hour. ethiopia's prime minister says the week long military operation in the northern tikrit region is now over. the army says it's taking control of the capital nicad a. but the leader of the people's liberation front has vowed to keep fighting government forces. the violent scenes are in protest and fronts against a planned law that makes it illegal to film and publish police officers faces anger against this proposed law has been fueled by a video showing police beating, racially abusing these jews in iran is vowing retaliation for the killing of its top nuclear scientist, terror on blames israel for most investors. that is assassination. the european union has described the killing is a criminal act, and the e.u. and un are calling for restraint. corona virus infections in the united states have doubled in november compared to last month. more than 205000. new infections were confirmed on friday, which likely consists of both thursday and friday reports. in some cases,

that all takes the total to more than $13000000.00. the number of people hospitalized with kovan $1000.00 is also nearly doubled in the past month to past $90000.00. and experts fear that the record rate of admissions will surge after this last thanksgiving weekend, mike hanna has more from washington d.c. . the pandemic has spread out pretty evenly throughout most of the united states, and certainly these figures are utterly who reflect 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 months in all on average, some $170000.00 plus new cases are being reported every day. the 205000 cases reported on friday, the sly, 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. there's been nothing from president 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, continue your baseless charges about election fraud. no mention whatsoever about the coronavirus to maria elena, but has a she is a doctor and also co-director of the texas children's hospital center for vaccine development. she says this pandemic is taking

a toll on frontline lakin's. where are they finicky? a little bit worried? the good news is that i think that we're starting to hear the possibility of having our, the state of texas, of being one of the 1st, our locations of new vaccines that are being evaluated, including for example, the pfizer. and the more dare nestle will, will definitely hear about that pretty soon. but in the meantime, you know the hospitals, there are getting worried. our 1st responders are getting worried. and i think that we should all try to raise our awareness that we have to be a little bit more conscious about how we can protect our community. i think that in the last, certainly now, 11 months or so, we have learned a lot more about how to clinically manage these. we know a lot more from what we knew at the beginning of the year. that is certainly not an excuse, right. but i think we, we have our primary care providers knowing you know,

how to really manage it a little bit better and how we have been, of course, testing and trying hard to be prepared. but it is, it is a big burden. you know, you have to remember our health care providers are on liners, you know, are just exhausted. and i think that as of respect, i think we all have to put a little bit of our own individual contribution to protect not only ourselves our families, but also those who are really act ending to those who really get sick. now there are reports that boko haram fighters and i jerry have killed at least $43.00 famines. he thought took place in the northeast city of my trigger, a as well as that tended to rice fields. at least 6. others were injured and 8 people are still missing. last month, 22 from this whole thing killed nearby violence in that median since 2009 has led to almost at least i'm sorry, 2000000 people displaced well, thousands of my want to master quack is middle east, bad working conditions,

overseas, and most poor woman from rural areas. take along with a high interest rate to pay for the cost and social advocacy groups are trying to help improve the situation for the workers. what the mood to receive like domestic work must be recognized as a legitimate form of employment. workers' rights must be respected. many women are dying, committing suicide or being abused, there should be 0. tolerance for this. at the beginning of november, at bangladeshi woman's body of us found in a garbage dump in amman, she worked as a domestic helper for saudi embassy staff in jordan. jasmine sold victim to south asian sex trafficking, gang in the middle east. she returned home 7 months pregnant. what color the bigger returned home with a head injury now she suffers from post-traumatic disorders like jasmine and khaled, the bigger many others who manage to survive through these odell's also face social

poles, the arctic, and the antarctic, and they're the only satellites i 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 set to which is a european satellite that uses radar. 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 that too 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, sea ice. and these types of things govern many climate issues all across the world

. ocean currents, whether they like hurricanes and different types of storms like better all, you know, dependent upon sea temperatures. and that ice is a big factor in that hello again. this is al jazeera and these are the headlines. ethiopia's prime minister says the week's long military operation in the northern region is now over. the army says it's in full control of the capital mckelway, the leader of the tigre, a people's liberation front says the army used artillery and air strikes to capture the city which the government denies. it was such an brittle and not lit. after having prepared yesterday on how to control me kill a city without including collateral damage on the civilian population of niggly. if not fully took in control of mckayla city as of this afternoon. hunting in good.
