of remote communities in latin america could face major challenges accessing coronavirus like scenes welcome to the program, ethiopia's prime minister abu ahmed says the 3 week long military operation in the northern to grey region is over this, after the army announced it has gained full control of the regional capital mccarley. but the leader of the 2. great people's liberation front about to keep fighting. government forces above all the reports now from the sudan, ethiopia border 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 not fully taken control of nicholas 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? be 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 at 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 state the global society of 2 great scholars and professionals. he says the situation in the region is fast becoming desperate to gran's will continue resisting government forces. joe, that this is not settled and people are protesting until a legit government is restored and said right, which the current government is there's going to be any peace integrate these these situations can continue to affix the entire region. so the program that we hear is

not a cure it and the people to grow are still resisting the invasion and, and the illegal war against the people. the grass before november for to grow was one of the most regions in the country. and there was a very successful election, there was already accessible government and the, an elected government of the oppressor, of the party is trying to destabilize the federal system and is still the single political narrative. so that's the problem. so definitely the people up to great will continue to resist. millions up to grants are cut from their words. there is an interest of his is not the banks are closed every to grant's bank account has been closed. almost for the past one week is a public service. if a person gets sick, they can go ospital. so apparently it's very difficult when we can hear anything about our family. so i have never heard of my family's well for 23 days. now. demonstrations have been held across france to protest against a planned law that restricts filming,

and publishing police officers faces anger against the proposed legislation has been fueled since a video emerged earlier in the month, showing police allegedly beating and racially abusing a black music producer 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 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, you know, dora tarion trend is pushing us to say to the government. they must stop and change

direction and let the police force 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 have also expressed concern and even the un seaman rights council has called on frons to protect freedom so bad. it's putting a lot of pressure on the french government. the crisis prompted french president emanuel macro to post a message on social media. he condemned the recent images of police violence and urged his government to propose salute to restore public confidence in the police force and protect rights. but those here say,

unless the government scrapped the laws controversial close, they will continue to protest. tasha butler al-jazeera paris. now there are reports coming in that burka her own viruses in nigeria have killed at least 43 farmers. the attack took place in the northwestern city of mine to gouri workers tended to rice fields. at least 6. others were injured and 8 people were still missing. now last month, 22 farmers were killed there by violence in the region since 2009 has led to at least $2000000.00 people being displaced. the u.s. appeals court has thrown out donald trump's latest attempt to contest the presidential election results. judges unanimously dismissed a lawsuit that sought to challenge the state of pennsylvania's malin voting law. they also say trump's lawyers failed to prove a single mail in ballot was fortunately cast or counted. joe biden won the state by more than 80000 votes. current virus infections in the u.s.

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. now that pushes the total past 13000000. there are concerns, infections could continue to rise. following the thanksgiving holiday weekend, mike hanna, has more from washington d.c. . 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 $4000000.00 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 plus new cases are being reported every day. 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. 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. their own supreme leaders are to retaliate for the assassination of the country's top nuclear scientists, most in fact,

resigned. it was killed on friday, teheran blames israel. a prominent republican, bernie sanders has condemned the killings saying, it was aimed at undermining diplomacy. as a bag reports into iran. 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 scientists to mars. in fact, it is gunned down by attackers in his car, in, a suburb east and the hieron 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 i tell the world's arrogance, that if they were afraid of this martyr, 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 that 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 a 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 and 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 to 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, still ahead here on al-jazeera, why bangladesh, workers hard hit by the pandemic are arriving home from abroad without wages, as a good, tortured, or worse in coffins, i'm just saying is how we can help people right now in a crisis. they've got skills was used to fix that, laid off that workers in the united kingdom, take their skills to a different time to what the could also help. the climate of the santa ana winds are blowing again, quite strongly particular in the afternoon. and this is just north of los angeles when this happens, of course, particular when it's dry, there's a big fire risk. the disconnect the power to stop the power lines shorting out, which sometimes does start the fire as people accept it. as significant weather the

forward rain is, is down. the texan coast has been running twice actually from texas towards the the florida panhandle. the next forecast takes a bit further. the further east and north. we suggest flash flooding. we've had street flooding in new orleans all ready. that one that keeps going northeast with it tucks in behind. it's going active system. fairly cold weather. it was significance there, reaching down to georgie on the it is not quite atlanta, which means the war in the wet here on the east coast. be replaced by this coldest air. moving off with the biggest document out of the cascades as well as come off the pacific, but doesn't get much further south until the middle of the week. in the caribbean, things are now much quieter than they were this still our few showers in honduras and nicaragua, particular east coast, and is probably wetter in costa rica than panama. but beyond that, there's nothing significant this frontal system does come in your notice, and i think western cuba will be rather wet by the end of monday.

i'm counting the past president. xi extends his grip across china and hong kong could taiwan be next. a failed decades old policy on the face of free market economics, and the people of chile redefine capitalism plus taxing the rich to pay for the pandemic in argentina. having the cost i'll just be about what's most important to me is talking to people understanding what they are going through here and i just, we believe everyone has a story worth hearing. oh

you want you all deserve it means the whole wronger mind. top stories, ethiopia's prime minister says the week long military operation in northern t. grey region is now over. the army says it's taking control of the company mccully, but the leader of the 2 very people's liberation front has vowed to keep fighting government forces. there were violent scenes during protests in france, so against a planned law that makes it illegal to film and publish police officers faces anger against the proposed law has been fueled by a video showing police beating and racially abusing a black music producer. the u.s. appeals court has thrown out donald trump's latest attempt to contest the presidential election results. judges unanimously dismissed the lawsuit that sought to challenge the state of pennsylvania as a mailing voting law. experts are warning, there could be challenges getting a future krone virus vaccine to remote areas in latin america. remote communities in the amazon jungle and andes mountains have been hard hit by the pandemic,

and many people are impatient for life and business to return to normal as daniel schwann reports from the argentine capital. what is always before covered 19, many indigenous communities in the colombian, amazon have developed eco friendly tourism to supplement their traditional hunting and fishing. when the pandemic hit business died, the tourists came mostly from europe. europeans came in the jungle and came to our community. and when the pandemic of right everything collapsed, they struggled on and now with a vaccine on the horizon, they're planning for a new start, a better tomorrow. but we are preparing for the future. organizing as a community, as is our tradition to welcome our visitors. but for us, this pandemic has been a pose for us to reflect, but it's 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 a better ana? think, 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? so i hope that the pandemic goes away. the coronavirus of hit remote peasant and indigenous communities, particularly hard with economy struggling. they see the price of their produce tombaugh. studies show that 90 percent of those living in remote rural areas are eating less in the main impact is pizza cured. and if there is that at unemployment and the poverty levels will increase, peter curity will be complicated for pre and the rest of latin america. that in

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 is strewn with hope and obstacle was 0. when osiris ukraine is seeking a $100000000.00 loan from the world buying to buy doses of the current 19 credits covert 19 vaccine. it also hopes to receive doses of kovacs, a global initiative, to ensure that all countries have access to a safe and effective vaccine in the future. for more than half of it is in the united kingdom will close permanently. as a result of the pandemic, it's left up to 5000 staff out of work. but one project in the city of manchester is helping forward backstage workers to retrain as jonah hill reports that could create as many as 1000000 jobs and also help the u.k. cut carbon emissions. when code 19 brought the curtain down on live entertainment,

thousands of stagehands technicians and said 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 lives in the northwest of england. former theater workers are turning their hands to a pilot program with government support could create energy efficient homes across britain and jobs to replace many of those lost our housing is not the worst performing in europe. if we're going to get $27000000.00 houses to that too, and not for a reduction and a 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 andrew glass for it, he knew where to start looking for that enormous new workforce. i see people build sets every day of our 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 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 macabre. situation is i'm just seeing as how we can help people right now are in a crisis. they've got skills to fix this. i was alarmed for 16 years and i feel i feel as though i don't like it in theatre if you like. it's alright. it's similar to what we used to do billing stuff. but what's different about what we used to do in theater, instead of along a trailer with a piece of set on the belt, and you're just putting stuff together where we're physically making things for a property, which is not. it really is nice. no one can 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 at the tip of a new green economy that they hope will help save the planet. instead, join a whole al-jazeera, manchester, the u.k. and france have signed a new deal aiming at limiting the number of migrants crossing the english channel, increases police and surveillance between the 2 countries. human rights groups have criticized the deal, calling it profoundly disappointing. well wisher, hundreds of people have been caught trying to cross the channel in small boats. this new package today that i have just signed with my french counterpart. the french interior minister effectively doubles the number of police on the french beaches. it invests in more technology, so more civilians, more radar technology that supports the law enforcement. and on top of that was we
