a lack of satellites could leave the world blind to changes in the arctic and antarctic because of global warming. so we begin in ethiopia, where the government has told their opposition fighters could still be hiding out in the grand capital, mccalla a after the military seized the city on saturday and says it now has gained full control and federal police are searching for members of the 2 grand people's liberation front in the city and surrounding areas, the group is vowing to fight on. in another development, the u.s. state department says 6. explosions were heard in the eritrean capsule, asked maher on saturday. there's been no claim of responsibility, but forces confirmed firing missiles at the city just under 2 weeks ago. and the
2:02 pm
u.n. says it's concerned about unconfirmed reports of violence against 100000 eritrean refugees living in 2 gray also set to run out of food by monday. there my colleague, sammy's a down, spoke to she's the spokeswoman for the ethiopian prime minister's office. and he asked if they expected there to be any retaliation by the ground forces. this guerrilla warfare component of this is part of the history we have been doing with all the guards. and there isn't popular support for this kind of thing within the region that people have to go, have been exhausted for so many years. and in fact, over the past 3 years with you would see is that there's been quite an economic devastation and one because that has been giving them prisoner smallman a lot of services. and a lot of the attention that needs to be paid in terms of the right players in the people's lives in the region has not would be to do with attention to saw. there
2:03 pm
isn't there that for anybody to chance is what you're saying. but at this point, we don't believe that there is any chance of that. and if there is, it would be also quote with the national defense forces and the security parents that's being set up. what do you say to allegations government shelling has killed and wounded a lot of civilians. that's not something that's good because as you can see, the entry into the belly has been with the least amount of civilian damage. and in fact, a lot of civilians have been, as i stated earlier, supported within the city and as well as all of the other cities as well. one thing that we have tried to make clear before as well is the reason that this operation has taken a little bit more time than it was supposed to is because the national defense forces, strategically have been avoiding towns and cities to avoid civilian casualties. so they've been weathering rock to reeds, and anybody who's familiar with that region does understand that it's quite
2:04 pm
a heavy terrain. the area. so they've been cutting across all of that. and also with all of the public infrastructure and other forms of and concern when you allow here, look at destroying their way out of harm's way for civilian sake. right. so if that's the case, it sounds like from your perspective, the government has nothing to hide. will you allow journalists into the area, journalists that we have not been not allowed to go in? one of the things that we have to be clear about is that while the, so this is an area that's under a state of emergency. so there is a security credit, that's why a state of emergency was an act that constitutionally so a security threat to means that the federal government, whoever that they're sending into the region needs to be protected as one journalist international journalists have been also going to the areas under federal commitment have been reporting in those areas. all right, but our correspondent, i believe, has been in touch with you will you let him in? because as you just said,
2:05 pm
the conflict is over and you don't think there's any chance of guerilla warfare. so it sounds like security is not a major concern when you allow our correspondent, as i mentioned to you, the state of emergency has got its own command chain as well that it's under a command post a to greg region as well. so entry to that area is going to be something that's administered through the command post. so these requests are coming in. the government has got a clear request mechanism that they're handling through that your print broadcast authority, as well as relevant government entities sort through that process within due time and ensuring the security of people going to that region. there would be no reason not to allow journalists, as well as humanitarian assistance actors to enter the area. wondering, developments from the kenyan capital nairobi he has more on the response from leaders in t. gray. said that it's going to continue the fight and then there are certainly questions about where the t.p.a. left leadership are now. and also what's happened to the reportedly tens of
2:06 pm
thousands of fighters that until at least just a few days ago, they controlled and also the substantial military resources they controlled as well . but this conflict has been brewing for several months. that certainly potentially could have given them time to hide some of this military hardware in the mountains, in the region in these mountains. certainly they know very well. their existence began in the 1970 s. when they formed an insurgency and successfully overthrew the government of the time in 1991. so they know this, terry, well, certainly is concerned that they could wage guerrilla warfare from their war, from the camp for displaced people in syria. john scott, are with state. what i started now is called what i called a refugee camp. it is one of 4 refugee camps. whole thing. people are fleeing the conflict in ethiopia. the u.n.h.c.r. guys behind me registering these refugees told me that up to now. they have posted
2:07 pm
here 10000 people and it is continuing. some of the people behind me have been standing here for hours since the early morning waiting for their road registration . some of them told me that they have been here for 12 days and they try to register every day. so that tells you an idea about to what extent you and other n.g.o.s and jos are stretched out here trying to cope with the situation. developing situation where understand that the numbers have come down a little bit during the last few days. we don't know whether it is because the fighting has subsided and that some of the cities have now fallen under the control of the federal army of ethiopia, or whether the roads are blocked. and that's something that some of the people here allege they said they said their relatives have been prevented during the last 2 days from crossing the border. and that's exactly at the border crossing in the whole matter. that's a town into the inside the tikrit region. but it is controlled now by the army, and then the militia, the arm, how the militia,
2:08 pm
people here are also waiting for humanitarian aid. the u.n. a.c.r. is doing what it can and they told us the head of that organization has been here today to assess the situation for himself. we have just seen them distributing food and also there is an ongoing building of shelters around us. if you look at these to control shelters, the volunteers and also n.g.o.s have helped bring the material here. and it is the refugees were actually building their own homes. mostly a school of thought is being set up will see that later today. so thought the situation is being, you know, improved, and the prospects that these people are going to stay here for a long time. will ask a few of the whether they want to return. now that the government says it has control of the city and major towns. they said no, they will not be able to be happy to return, are to see the control in the hands of people who are elected inside

2:10 pm
a community close to a military base close to a very heavily populated area. would certainly draw attention with the choice of weapons. that's anti aircraft guns and make it 47 in this case. but what i would go into a community use night and machetes and cut down the victims. that's exactly what happened. and that's the reason why civilian or the local militia that's been supporting the military realized that this could be boko haram and with 8 missing book or time has recently lost a lot of members and they are on a recruiting drive both in the lake chad region and in nigeria, particularly i don't buy the area and make a great solve the been known to have blocked highways and picked up passengers from buses and taxis and run into the bushes with them. so basically from all indications, it looks like the act was committed by boko haram. at least $31.00 afghan soldiers

2:26 pm
and they're the only satellites that 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 sat 2 which is a european satellite that uses radar. so i sat launch 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. cryo sat 2 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 are across the world ocean currents, whether they like hurricanes and different types of storms like that are all,
