climate leaders will gather on line to press ahead with a new stage of the paris climate agreement and examine the possible global solutions. december on al-jazeera the united nations says at least 110 people have been killed in a massacre in northeastern nigeria. but iran is suspected to be behind the attack i don't acknowledge this is out there and live from doha. also coming up. ethiopia's military celebrates its seizure of t. gray's capital, but the search continues for any rival forces who have found to find all female bangladeshi workers hit. hard by the pandemic arriving home beaten bankrupt or even

dead. he's been called the loneliest elephant in the world cup on begins his long journey to cambodia, ending years of isolation in pakistan. so we begin with breaking news from nigeria and the u.n. says at least $110.00 civilians have been killed. many more injured in an attack in the northeast, they have been funerals for some of the dozens of farmers who were killed while working in rice fields. local officials and blame, poke around fighters for the violence that's big now to address. he joins us live from the capital of use. your nominee is really is a dreadful attack. what more have you learned about what's happened and why these farmers were targeted? well, basically, at least in one of the communities attacked by a book on saturday. one of such it looks like

a retaliatory attack because recently the community arrested a book member and 100 him. what went through the security forces. he walked into the community, ordered the people to give him food and money. and i suppose waiting for cook to be food to be cooked for him. the villagers grabbed him and his gun and 100 name over to the security forces. and that was populated responsible for the attack on publish it. but about a mighty, a lot of people believe that the senseless killings that have been part of book quorums, ideology for years, came to play out. and so they targeted these families and set some of the hardest hit rites and fire in, in the northeast of the country. we've seen how tasty levies on villages, local villages, who are unprotected by the security forces to pay the fines or levis before they go to farm. and in, in such communities,

we've seen how they tightly control everything in those communities. and there was nothing much the villages can do. one of these tried to do so, but what i'm also is to economically is trying to late night generate not dishing to the violence wrecked and the rural communities and the security forces. and speaking of security forces, indeed, the government said what's been the response well, the government, the president issued a statement earlier today condemning such attacks saying that the whole country's it. but the communities affected insisted that the government has failed to protect them. a lot of people are worried that this is the 12th year now since they will quote me saying yes, it began in northeast nigeria. from my degree, the regional capital, the violence spread to most parts of the state, which is of course, the most populous state in the northeast of the country. and then spread to all local government areas except for

a few. and then from that we've seen have expanding territory into neighboring states. i don't know a bocce going to be attacks and going to be attacks and terror but. and then they ventured across the border into cameroon, niger republic and china, where thousands of people civilians and military have been killed over the past few, i will by the past decade or so. so what we are seeing now is boko haram continues to adapt to strategies, various strategies to counter the military offensive on them. the military has carried out several attacks as displays bookout of from many areas it's been holding, but yet this is a portent force. many of them have many, many, many group members actually based in communities that based in cities like may degree, sleeper cells across the country with who are supplying the fighters in the bush with valuable information before they carried out the kind of that tax. i mean, thanks very much for that update. tom had to interest in a blue jay nigeria, let's speak now to some women on a day who's

a security analyst. janis joins us from nigeria is the largest city of lagos, by scott silliman, as we've just been hearing, is a very distressing attack. could give us an idea of the reaction from ordinary people across nigeria. but we're taking a very pretty bad day for nigeria and niger and so frankly, they are asking the question, don't forget that president bush came on the back on its promise that he was going to fix the security situation in the country. quite frankly, being seen as compassion in a spot knowing full well that many nigerians and even not. and leaders have called for the sack of the security chiefs. they think that you can only keep a good team at cities at the moment. it doesn't look like they, security chiefs are doing a good job. if you put those side by side with what we've seen in neighboring kneejerk public entity, supermom i do have to sack is security chiefs went about 8 or 9 soldiers to kill

others. not there is austin, why are you still keeping these people? so for the people and not specifically in is that a matter of elation? they say, if we stayed at home or wait to die of hunger, if we risked going out too often, who just might be sucked at just the way we've seen these 40 people being killed and played to pretty much more numbers on account of fault. you have people living in perpetual fear in these regions. and so there's a real sense that the government has failed its people. and it's not just this government has been going on for more than 10 years, 1012 years. why is it so difficult to stop this insurgency? you know, that's the question people have in ostend and the problem he has to do with saying that the government of the day they seemed to be a reward in loyalty of the profession of the same they same by now. they got beyond

all that they should have actually tried a few good on the men, just see how they can get them out of this whole mess is a mess that in the niger as a state, and at the moment almost struck me as a day faint that could be a downside of this, is that one is already going to affect investor confidence coming on correctly and best known for the not there has just gone into a 2nd risk. so if you put all of these on the scale, it doesn't look good for the government of the day. and the question you austyn is the same question. i'm going to ask it, why is it so difficult for the government had to retake its security. you know, systemic, and that got bad and add of best, but you know, the way they got the movement time was when they were twice influence in cities and villages and in a nigeria. but not going to say in all of the, you know, you know,

victoria's stories of the past. i think, you know, it's created by for nigerians. everyone is cynthia in bees are dedicated and we're hoping that the government of the day, well pick it up and act pretty fox will have to meet them sort of in how they behave preachy that speaking to us from lagos, nigeria government has told, are working to clear out opposition forces hiding iran to graze capital of meccania . after 3 weeks of fighting, the government says it seize control of the city on saturday and members of the grand people's liberation front. the t.p. l f. they fled to surrounding areas and the group is vowing to fight on many fear the conflict may spread beyond ethiopia's borders, destabilizing the horn of africa, and 6. explosions were heard in the eritrean capital as mar on saturday, has been no claim of responsibility. but tikrit forces did fire missiles at the city just under 2 weeks ago. meanwhile, the head of the un's refugee agency says that he hopes humanitarian assistance and

access to too great will be granted within the next few days. red cross is warning that there's been an influx of trauma, patients and hospitals are running dangerously low on medical supplies. well earlier my colleague some use it and spoke to be lain so you. she's a spokeswoman for the ethiopian prime minister's office. and he asked her if they expect retaliation by the 2 ground forces, the so no warfare component of the p.l.f., this is part of the history that they have enjoyed with all the guards. and when there isn't popular support for this kind of thing within the region that people have to go, i have been exhausted or so many years. and in fact, over the past 3 years, what you would see is that there's been quite an economic devastation and social norm station is one because the p.l.f. clinic has been gearing them for this moment. a lot of services and a lot of attention that needs to be paid in terms of provide policing. the peoples' lives within the region has not would be to do with attention to saw there. isn't that that initiation for anybody to charge the will for

what you're saying, but at this point, we don't believe that there is any chance of that. and if there was, it would be also wild with the national defense forces and the security imperative 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 corroborated 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 rough to regions, and anybody who's familiar with that region does understand that it's quite 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 infrastructure. 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 why 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 active constitution. and so a security means that the federal government, whoever that they are settling 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, 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 with you. 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 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 the ethiopian broadcast authority, as well as relevant government entities. so 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. while tens of thousands of civilians displaced by the fighting, taken refugee camps across the border in neighboring sudan, and mohamad violence been speaking with some of them in state. but this is the just one of 4 refugee camps that have been constructed in order to receive those thousands of refugees fleeing the war in ethiopia. some of them have not yet been

registered. in this camp we are told, but there are already 10000 people more are coming. the numbers have dropped during the last few days. we don't know if that's because the fighting has subsided to some extent or because the roads are blocked and that's what some of the refugees are telling us. however, the news of the fall of the capital in the hands of the federal military is not reassuring among these refugees. we ask them if they want to go back home, but they say it's not yet time to return home. we don't want to go back because we so administration of met a lot of digging us with the help of government not elected by the people. he the soldier. he the thought he's not nominated by the people. that's why we don't want to be killed. we don't want to go back to the

people, the power to the people. we don't we don't we are. yes, we need dr. deborah. he is elected by the people. it's been 3 weeks since these people began to arrive here. and as you can see, they are in need of many things. they are talking about shortage of food shortage of even shelter. this is not just the way they spend their days, but also this is where they sleep. many of them tell us they don't even have mats to sleep on. the united nations and other n.g.o.s are around there trying to help. but they know that it is a developing situation or they're telling us that this situation will get worse before it gets better. still ahead here on al-jazeera, the historic agreement between cuban artists activists and the government after a rare protest over the freedom of expression.

and i was that time of the year when the rain falls heavily of pushy. any city in the middle east, you get a bit of flash flooding for drains away. that was certainly case in q weight loss night. it would have largely flooded, disappeared now. so the flooding is just across the border in iran, but even in the forecast that rain is going away. but you notice this line here. this is potential, again for thunderstorms, slow moving shows, you might get the same again in riyadh or possibly in mecca, more likely in smaller towns. and the hint is, go back up towards q.h. during to say the same time, the big showers in cyprus and some turkey head towards the levantine coast. everybody else? generally speaking, it's quiet not as warm as it was further south big thunderstorm time, anywhere from the rift valley down towards the eastern side of south africa suggest

has bird who see beautiful skies in the evening or at night. that's obviously thunder. there will be more thunderstorms are drifting out of south africa into southern mozambique, zimbabwe and up towards malawi. number louay in particular. but along with the does want right in this town is a long ways forecast is probably welcome 3 days of thunderstorms and they're going to hang around, i think for a bit after that from fossil fuels to modern day renewable. as societies develop their energy demands increase, requiring innovative solutions to meet such demands as a global power development of investment company, nebraska power is uniquely positioned to deliver against the state. we provide business growth, promote social economic benefits, and provide innovative, safe, and fire mentally, sound, energy solutions for future generation. breastpin pioneering future energy

will rule out again, you watch the ads. there are mind of our top stories this hour and the u.n. says at least 110 people have been killed in an attack in northeast nigeria. dozens of them were farmers who were targeted while working in the field. and local officials blame the on group boko haram. the hip in government says it's now working to clear, defined to ground forces hiding around the capital of mecca. and the head of the un's refugee agency says he hopes humanitarian access to the region will be granted . as soon as possible,

at least $31.00 afghans mostly soldiers have been killed in a suicide bomb attack in gaza. the problems in one of the bloodiest, bloodiest attacks in recent months. local health officials say another $24.00 were injured. it happened when the attack and detonated explosives inside a car. it targeted a public protection force compound belonging to afghan security forces, and no group has yet claimed responsibility. i mistook my name is the founding member of the afghanistan offense units, which is a security think tank joins us from kabul by skype. mr. he mumbled to the program. so this is one of the single deadliest attacks in recent months. no yet any claim of responsibility, but some local officials pointing the finger at the taliban. yeah, definitely need that was writing, i was reading any part on the incident. one of the news agencies, international agencies, had contacted the taliban spokesperson, who did deny not excepted be responsibility for that attack. but then, you know,

let me has been the epicenter of such kind of attacks or because of last 20 years or even more than that, had this moment of time when the only taliban had been betty much active in that region. expectation is that it is something that should have been, get it out by the taliban, and look at be sophisticated, should know the attack and then trace it back with the situation and let me and await the ballad. i have been operating in the region. so one against easy thing that works for the incident, but of course the ads are trying to deny they are or have not begun that it's possibility, at least it was a few months in order to ensure that they don't have a negative addition in the eyes. of those who are pursuing the peace process in particular the americans, i was going to say with the backdrop of these peace talks here in doha. what would

be the motive if it is of taliban? what would be their motivation in such an attack? when it immediately went in and out, i can think of 2 people that object gets busted the most. are we, nor did we, i want a government had a damn and got a couple of you. she's not agreeing with about one of them is particularly the agreement that was signed between the americans and the ballot box and pretty 9 february because of that the process has not promised. well, because the taliban warned that once that, that agreement as the the source of the negotiation now in aid to such kind of attacks, they're trying to put pressure on the documents and proceed ahead with to be stocks . on the other hand, this has always been a consideration, a concern that there will be spending groups within the ballots were not happy with the peace process, and they want to topple the government and state in order to take everything

they've been saying that they have been able to push the americans out of across latin be it, be should be able to really challenge it, talk me out of government. and as such, they're trying to impose themselves by, i mean datings these among the stacks. they don't want out on a military installations in new jersey, of course, at central because of a few months. so that's another consideration and possibility that one can pick up the most economically. we appreciate your analysis. thanks very much. indeed. brazil is holding its 2nd round of municipal elections off the months of campaigning, which have been overshadowed by violence in the coronavirus. voting is open across the country's major cities in a runoff, which could show a swing away from far right. kind of its aligned with the president john vause and are a number of politicians have been assassinated in the run up to the vote. and large public campaign events have been blamed for spreading over $1000.00 cases. rights groups say thousands of migrant domestic workers in the middle east face poor
