a promise of revenge in due time and covert $900.00 infections break more records in the us health. experts warn that the worst is yet to come into the program. ethiopia's prime minister says the 3 week long military operation in the north and to gray region is over. this, after the army announced that it had gained full control of the regional capital micheli, but the leader of the 2 great people's liberation front has vowed to keep fighting government forces. have a morgan has more 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 announced 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 mcgillis city as of this afternoon, our army is hunting 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. as 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? they 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 in may be far from over. here, morgan al-jazeera, state a whole of africa analyst and senior research fellow at the institute of studies. he says, it's likely to grow in forces, have started using guerrilla 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 substantiated reports that some of the refugee camps for that the eritreans were living in that they were raided by eritreans. and that they took

some of the young people on to the front line 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 question now is, will the sudanese allow aid and assistance into to grey including perhaps things like fuel which the 2 grands will desperately if they're 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. there are reports about her own fighters in nigeria have killed at least $43.00 farmers. but the attack took place in the northeastern city of may to go in as workers tended to rice fields, at least 6, others were injured and 8 people are still missing. last month, 22 farmers were killed there by violence in the region since 2009 has led to at

least 2000000, people being displaced. demonstrations have been held across france to protest against a planned law that restricts filming. and publishing police officers says anger against the proposed legislation has been. feels as if it 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, this or thora 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 france 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 soon lucian's, to restore public confidence 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. they're all supreme leader hassan to retaliate for the assassination of the country's top nuclear scientists. and if a president was killed on friday to iran blames israel, prominent us politician, bernie sanders has condemned the killing saying it was aimed at undermining diplomacy. as the bag has morphed into protesters outside parliament, demanding revenge. and for iran to stop nuclear inspections by the international atomic energy agency. and the anger follows the killing of top scientists to moss. 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. as i tell the world 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 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 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 his are they 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 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 vowed one, but no one knows where, when or what form that will take assad big al jazeera, the front u.s. appeals court has thrown out, all translators, determined to contest the presidential election results. judges, you know, honestly dismissed the 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 ballots, was fortunately cast or counted. joe biden won the states by more than 80000 votes . 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. but that pushes the total past 13000000. and there are concerns of infections could continue to rise following the thanksgiving holiday weekend. well, joining me now is dr. calvin, sony's a physician and clinical assistant. he's also a professor of emergency medicine and joins me now via skype from new york talking with us live on al-jazeera. how has the sort of the increase in covert 19 cases affected the hospitals and their capacity with emergencies that you've been dealing with? in new york city is so different from the rest of the country. i mean, the united states of america is centrally operating, like 50 different countries with their own plan and their own ways of handling code 19. so really depends. i mean, i think they're overwhelmed everywhere, and i think the idea that you have new, what new york city went through in march is now every cross, all 49 other states as are new york city,

where i am now. i think we learn fast. we've been through things like 911, the world trade center bombings. we do recover quickly. we do learn from our mistakes, and we do adapt. so i think right now we're managing and it's not as bad as it was in march when the bombs are much higher. now we're pushing somewhat like a 2nd wave, but it's now think about what's going on in march. the better at taking care of it, but also mixed in with the usual emergencies that we used to see before copenhagen, like car crashes and gunshot wounds and heart attacks. and they didn't go away with indeed, of course, with the winter approaching. there's great concern about that increase in numbers, and perhaps we're seeing it not just in the u.s., but globally as well. i mean in terms of what you'll seeing, how are patients presenting themselves when they come to hospitals? are the symptoms sort of pretty severe and then how do they actually present themselves? how do they look? and again, i don't want to speak on behalf of the entire country, but i do know what they're wrestling with out in new york city is as if they were going to the 1st time. so patients will come in too late with their little or

drowning in their own fluids in their own long as they're coming in. maybe in cardiac arrest or with a stroke or things where they feel ok. but the aco sent in by their doctors because their oxygen saturation is below 92 percent. and those are the people who have silent hypoxia, quote, 19, creates this phenomenon where you look great one minute and then you drop dead because you behave under 90 percent options after eating for the last one week without knowing. but new york city, when what i'm saying is that it's a high health literacy. we've been through so much in march and april that people coming in a lot earlier than anticipated. they're just testing and testing, named andy, know how to sell for in cheap. so they look much better and we do have better treatments. now we have dr. drawing which is a steroid that i've been using since the dawn of time. it's an old school drug, and we give it now, and it protects the patient that we give them a pulse ox to go home with and they don't come into it late. so we're much better taking care of it. but this is new york city, which is an island off the cut that it's totally appreciate in terms of the, in terms of the ongoing debates about, for example,

personal protective equipment. you talked about the fact that, you know, with various tried to g.'s that tragedies that have hit new york city, the infrastructure is capable of dealing with an emergency, but p.p. has been another scenario. do you have enough equipment? do you have enough and a protective equipment to deal with the scenario so far? i think there for a pandemic like kobe 1000, we need mappers, positive air, purifying respirators, and we're still talking about and 95 it's like going in with chainmail to world war 2 fight. i think it's like we do have a 95 now and i can't believe that it was even a debate in march and to maine where i was eating not national television when i couldn't get enough. p.p. ino had to delete, leave out to my friends and family to donate them to me for me to actually feel like somewhat safe. but right now none of that matters because we don't have happiness. that's what i think is the standard of care. there should be a lot of to us that we see everywhere across the world, except for ours, we're still like struggling with little masks. and this is something that needs

like the astronaut suits that you see in movies. show encouraging news about potential vaccines in the not too distant future. but in your opinion, how long, how far away is the actual implementation of those vaccines 2 thing? will it happen before the end of the year? as you might say, the government might want to, we're really looking into 2021. i mean, i have a lot of trust issues after you like 20 twentieth's. i don't know what to believe anymore, and they say they'll give us these tests back in march, and we can get them until april. and it would give us a pat of people. and we didn't get them until 6 weeks later through our friends and family, not from the government, whatever. so they say that the vaccine is going to be available to us within 2 weeks need december's when we will that the 1st of us frontline health care workers . people like myself will be the 1st to get it. not one would have to get it in order to be allowed to can continue working. that is on the brighter, hopeful side if the f.d.a. proves emergency compassionate care emergency greenlight. but the thing is that i

have trust issues and there is no way i can really predict it will know, as i think of you like 2020, which is both best assume they won't get it until next spring. so they will have to wait and see what happens from moment to calvin. some thanks so much for joining us from new york city. good to have you with us on al-jazeera. thank you for having me . still ahead here on out is there are concerns that remote communities in latin america could face major challenges accessing cried a virus that seems to leave farmers in india say they won't end disruptive protests around the capital. i mean the anger over new agriculture loans or the seasons obviously change. no significant rain will come through every few days and in the next day or so, it's going to be the western side of iraq. it's already rained heavily here. it

will be snow otitis trees up towards azerbaijan, and if you follow this tie around through saturday, it's generally been light. rain occasionally gets on his toes, it doesn't look too active at the moment. then there's a big gap at the moment, it's fine and sunny right back to northern egypt in the levant, but there are more showers, gathering in the eastern med and there were shown cells as thunderstorms. again in cypress, at the same time as that snow doesn't. the sun's back out in iran, but wondering cloud and showers are still there in central saudi, maybe bahrain, maybe as far south as qatar. but i think not south of all this, we come down to the proper seasonal, right. and has been fairly wet recently in tanzania, in the still hint that it might be. but generally speaking, it's a bit further west. back into angola, however, the ruler or indeed in dar es salaam, but the significant rain stuff we probably won't see is further south of the uk of on the delta. in fact, that massive cloud is pretty widespread in the east and south africa,

southern side of mozambique looked particularly wet the end the weekend we've never had a president who has literally for 4 to 5 years repeatedly attacked our democracy. you know, blew through the narrative of finance. we don't have a narrative. i have a question. you're hitting there really where people can't get treated and just feel small even through their join me richelle carey and up front as my guest. i'm around the world, take a hot seat and we debate the week's top stories in pressing issues here on al-jazeera.

you're watching all this there with me. so rob, a reminder of our top stories. if your peers prime ministers as the weeks long military operation in northern tigray region is over, the army says it's taken control of the capital mccully for the leader of the 2 great people's liberation front has vowed to keep fighting government forces. the reports of boko haram fighters in nigeria have killed at least $43.00 farmers in time to place in the northeastern city of mate, occurring as workers tended to rice fields and violence in the region since 2009 as that too. at least 2000000 people displaced and coronavirus infections in the u.s. have doubled in november compared to last month. more than 205000, new infections were confirmed on friday, which is likely consists of both thursday and friday reports in some cases not pushes the total past. $13000000.00 experts are warning there could be challenges

getting a future coronavirus 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 schweiger reports from the arjun time capital one osiris before covered 19 many indigenous communities in the colombian, amazon have developed eco friendly tourism to supplement their traditional hunting and fishing. in the pandemic hit, business died in the tourist came mostly from europe. europeans came in a jungle and came to our community. and when the pandemic arrived, everything collapsed. they struggled on a 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 a south tradition, to welcome our visitors 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 of war, there 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 bet on a 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 coronavirus of hit remote peasant and indigenous communities, particularly hard with economies struggling. they see the price of their produce tombaugh. studies show that 90 percent of those living in remote rural areas are eating less well off here 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 perjury and the rest of latin america that's 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 it's strewn with hope and obstacles. then why not a 0? when osiris shops in france have reopened. some of the country's lockdown restrictions are eased. hospitals at one store, but with applause for scientists, but they lost all limits on the numbers of people allowed inside francis, particularly easing or partially easing measures after a month long nationwide lockdown the 2nd one the germany's far right air 50 has held its party conference, bringing together, more than 600 delegates despite surging covert 1000 infections,

that those attending were required to wear masks after a top court dismissed a complaint by the f.t. against the regulation. most political parties in the country have moved their conferences online or delayed gatherings in an effort to curb infections in london, more than 150 people have been arrested in anti vaccine in anti lock down protests . hundreds of demonstrators gathered in the capital, demanding coronavirus restrictions and mask regulations to be lifted. england's current lockdown is set to end on wednesday. one industry that's been hit hard by the pandemic has been live theater. more than half of the theaters in the united kingdom will close permanently as a result, leaving thousands of people out of work. but one project in the city of manchester is helping for the backstage workers to retrain. and as jonah hill reports, it could also help the u.k. cut its 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 it or it's 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 is not the worst performing in europe. if we're going to get $27000000.00 houses. so that 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, would 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 and stain. 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 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 billing stuff. but what's different about what we used to do in theatre instead of on the trailer with a piece of set that's only built when you're just putting stuff together with 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 in the balcony neighbors, serbia and montenegro have expelled each other's ambassadors, montenegro made the 1st move, saying the serbian ambassador had continuously meddled in the country's internal affairs. despite warnings, well in retaliation, serbia gave his counterparts 72 hours to leave. montenegro is currently governed by a pro european party, but next week a process coalition will take office. thousands of protesters in poland have rallied against a court ruling that could outlaw almost all forms of abortion. police declared the gatherings of warsaw illegal and try to block demonstrators. poland already has

some of the strictest abortion laws in europe. and last month, the constitutional court ruled to ban abortions of fetuses with defects which the government has yet to implement because of the unrest. india's government has agreed to meet with leaders of farmers unions following days of demonstrations have been rallying near the capital new delhi to protest against a bill. they say, could devastate crop prices. some have been blocking roads and highways. farmers say they don't plan to leave until the law is scratched. hundreds of police and paramilitary personnel are being deployed to control the protesters. like yeah, i'm going to get them. there has been no payment yet whether she work in crop on the grazing yet yet against the 2 new laws that we did use recently. the phrase up power has gone up. the government is planning to private days cleans it, have made false promises. farmers in the trouble and hassle,

elizabeth are all of his also 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 the very calls have been converted to temporary homes because the phone or 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 farm laws. 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 protest. they've invited them for talks on

december, the 3rd, the farmers, they, the 1st round of talks didn't go anywhere. and that's because they say that the government is not a sure and that a guaranteed minimum price for their projects 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. your children are with me. so rovner, one of our top stories, ethiopia's prime minister says the week's long military operation in northern to grey region is over. the army says it's taking control of the capital mcalary, but the leader of the 2, great people's liberation front has vowed to keep fighting government forces after having prepared us to do and how to control nicholas city without incurring collateral damage on the civilian population of nickel.
