everybody this is al-jazeera. this is a new life and coming up in the next 60 minutes, the united nations says at least 110 people have been killed in a massacre in northeastern nigeria. respect to people hiding in the town. ethiopia's military celebrates its capital, but the search continues for any rival forces who have vowed to fight on the voters in switzerland nearly rejects plans to hold business is accountable for rights

abuses or environmental damage anywhere in the world. he's been called the loneliest elephant in the world. begins his long journey to cambodia and in years of isolation in pakistan. and in sports around the bahrain grand prix, the frenchman escaped with just minor burns after a car burst into flames on the opening lap. now the united nations says is outraged and horrified after the killing of at least $110.00 civilians in northeast nigeria. many others were injured in the attack which the un has described as a gruesome massacre of farmers tending their crops. several women are believed to being kidnapped too, and there are calls for their immediate release. no one has claimed responsibility for the violence, but local officials are blaming both fighters. the group is trying to control

territory in the region which borders chad and cameroon. tens of thousands have been killed and millions displaced in more than a decade of violence in the region. allotment, interests, and joins us live now from the capital of big john, tell us more about what happened and why these farms were taunting. the reason one of the reasons, of course, one of the communities that were attacked on saturday, we understand that the members of that community arrested and hand over handed over a boko haram suspect to the security agencies. when he walked into the village, gathered them together, robbed them of their money, and then ordered the people in the village to cook food for him. and eventually they saw their chance and took it, then grabbed him and his gun handed him over to the security forces. we understand that that was the reason why. so the type on launch

bible quote of fighters, we're not sure how many people are killed there, but about a muddy, like you said, and 43 people were buried this morning by the community. and that community has not had any serious incident or other serious ulta kitchen with a book out of fighters. however, we know bookout on has been targeting families and farming communities for a very long time. not only in but interested, but across the region and into neighboring countries like china and can rule. they have levied farmers before they go to the farms and they cannot have vest unless they pay taxes to book or around. so if you know me, but what i was just trying to relate the nigerian economy, in addition to attacking civilians and military personnel in the region. and this insurgency has been going on for more than a decade now, 1012 years. why is it so hard to make any decent inroads in trying to deal with it?

this is one of the most difficult questions that nigeria as a fail to understand. nigeria has deployed forces to set early on to liberia to end the civil war nigeria also for to its own civil war. it has contributed to united nations peacekeeping force peacekeeping operations across the world. and it has come back home with medals and people wouldn't understand how iraq take a group that started as iraq to me seizing weapons from the police on the streets of my degree. organize themselves and become such a monster of a period of time and security forces have been an able to deal with the with the, with the situation. i was asked this question several, when i go across africa, when i go to him, when i tell people that i'm from nigeria, they can't understand how the nigerian security forces failed to deal with this

problems despite its resources. despite its experience in dealing with m groups across the continent, especially in the west africa, some regional governments said it was the initially, it was the lack of funding for the nigerian military. then we hear the government saying that it has done everything that it has provided everything that i did a military one dead. then there is still cause for the nigerian government, for the nigerian security forces not to overcome what i am, but we've seen instead of decimating but what is coming back stronger. not only in nigeria, but across the board. this is a group that started on a small scale in the north east of the country in the city of made a group, for example, and 2, when the police used brutal force to destroy the leadership of the group and then the group and started attacking communities and now they have expanded across the region, and there is fear that nigeria may not see the last of boko haram and the times.

all right, ahmed, appreciate that. and in just reporting for us from a buddha, let's try to answer some of the questions that happened was posing that we can speak to them at the same time. it is a member of the house of representatives in borno state, joins us live from my degree that was just 20 kilometers away from the attack. a welcome to the program. this is shocking, even by the standards of boko haram. what's your reaction to what's happened 1st? opportunity. but the unfortunate striation we find ourselves because they're out of money as a community in a metro police city looks i believe he's put it 1st, a couple of aides months. and then i mean that's a t.v. tease out cities completely and chat environment. so gently he shows up. they watch out, and departments are doing are freely working in the us. but we days

before, one such as it was sick, last beach, in the farmer's under local heart, i mean bus which i believe is the television of the farmer's son. and as that leads to all of these, thank you for we've been, it's just morning and also he's excited to see the exhibits. and also that i'm home yet to be identified on phone. i think we're going to shows that are 9, but it can be funny ones and then 20 are yet to be bible. why don't you just this, isn't it? it's addressed plus a dreadful attack. why is that? i mean, the question that was posed by a course one adopted address, why is it that the nigerian security forces have failed to deal with? this is not a lack of funding. the. it's been

a constant effort over several years to try and beat boko haram. but every time boko haram keep coming back stronger with more and more. he has crimes like this actually is not like a fun game because i kind of believe that it's not a funded the minute he drinan it to be or care what they need. so new talk, just because insurgency was caught on 10 to 10 talked every night because you can look at does a lot of money. i talk yesterday. it's completely different because for the past 7 to 8 months, there was not talking is artists way into the farm and and not coming to the community. but i think the military of the underground government needs to stocks are implementing the intelligent guys. i mean, by that security commission and i don't believe in that. i think if things are

supposed to be in order, all of the important got that must be utilized by the military should not be made because you quit right. take the fight to the end collapse of the people who are what they were going to go. forgive me for jumping in there, but what did boko haram want to achieve? and how did they recruit people fighters to their ranks? what drives this from the improvements on the information are by every us. i think these days, but i'm descended they have an issue because the pages on the site, but what they're trying to achieve, they want to fornicate it, get upward into damn. they want to have a ship will be up by every important and beautiful for a long commission, up to hunch, and now the shock of function and then, but not a function, which i believe there was up. i didn't elect shut. sure. i'm better now. a function which i'm going to get it and they are already in the outfit that i did just. so

when i says, but did check of function fails to even be, i did the ice carry out all of the operations on the, our understanding that they want to achieve and islamic caliphate. and then for now, once, if the military can take the fight in, can it definitely distinctly come to an end just wanting to govern other, but mostly it clearly according to the federal government of nigeria, out to you, more local, one test and indeed has intruded mainstream that you're not needed to so that they, nor the mood chronics of all the i guess i'm outta that door, i might be used to, can it get out or at least believe into it immediately. got chance to talk to these 2 to be important is that i'm the government should look for that. we got your piece, you didn't mediation or it dying. and then if not all i want that i see is we check

was much more long process going problem as an assistant, i mean there's, there's been so many false dawns haven't there with the government themselves saying that several times that they've defeated boko haram to say they just keep coming back stronger and then there is terrible incidents like this. i don't do a day out and i mean, you know, the chance to talk to spot who is talk to us and you say we're going to go up to good. it will do just on tomorrow, it will chance talked to at tuck in one form. i do it. so they are all military if they want, if the nigerian government wants to do it, it must adopt some new tucked up which is. and then if not, i don't think these crises will come to be given. look at the airport, the government not. but most it is to look at not the operations, not even that day,

which was to come. i talked it is to the military to check defiance to clips of the go out. and finally, can i just ask you, is there is, can i just ask you, he's a to give us an idea, an impression if you would, what it must be like for people, the farmers and the fisherman. living there who are often too scared to go outside, but they have to because they're going to earn a living. they've got to feed their families. what must it be like for, you know, your neighbors who live in your vicinity? actually he's a terrible tyrant for us because he said choice to be killed by hunger or to go to the blue sea depends on those people who will be in the front. so this is a very trying time for all. this is about how just in time, because there are many years i've been expecting. but looking at what i describe,

it is definitely a challenge for i did it government needs to do something for me to depend does depend on every day i'm due to get what they have if not this time out on the ground to be then job ok. we'll leave it there. so to me, a member of the house of representatives in borno state. thank you. now, the ethiopian government has told al jazeera is working to clear out opposition, forces hiding around to graze capital of meckling. after 3 weeks of fighting, the government says it seized control of the city on saturday. members of the grand people's liberation front 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. 6 explosions were heard in the eritrean capital

asmara on saturday. there's been no claim of responsibility, but various forces fired missiles at the city just under 2 weeks ago. the head of the un's refugee agency says he hopes humanitarian access to tikrit will be granted within the next few days. the red cross is warning. there's been an influx of trauma. patients and hospitals are running dangerously low on medical supplies. earlier my colleagues spoke to bill in the european prime minister's office and he also, but we're toleration by the ground forces this so guerrilla warfare, a component of this is part of their history that they have enjoyed with all guards . and there is a popular support for this kind of thing within the region that people have to go to 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 in the social norm station as one because the t.p.a. letter click has been gearing them for this moment. a lot of services and

a lot of attention that needs to be paid in terms of providing lazing. the people's lives in the region has not been paid do with attention to saw. there isn't that that initiation for anybody to charge 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 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 in the area. so they've been cutting across all of that. and also with all of the public infrastructure and other forms of concern when you allow despoiling 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. will 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 it to greg. 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 there has been that your broadcast authority as well as relevant government entities. so through that process, within due time in ensuring the security of going to that region, there would be no reason not to allow humanitarian assistance actors to enter the area. let's take a close look at the area around the capital of the if you control of the airport. it also says it has taken buildings belonging to the city of half a 1000000 in

a mountainous area and forces may have retreated to the hills, undetected. from here it's thought they could launch attacks. tens of thousands of civilians displaced by the fighting have taken refuge camps across the border. has been speaking with some of them. got there if 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 some of them have not yet been registered in this camp . there are already 10000 people are coming. the numbers 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 to

reassure and ask them if they want to go back home. but they say it's not yet time to return home because we met he kilis his lot. a lot of digging our speakers with the help of everything and government we have met in not elected by the people. he the soldier . he's the soldier. he's not nominated by the people. that's why we don't want to be killed. we don't want to go back. hundreds of the people, the power to the people. we don't care of in addis ababa. we don't care in on how region. we are just we need dr. debra he is elected by the people, it's been 3 weeks since this 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. plenty more still ahead on news hour, including female bangladeshi workers hit hard by the pandemic are arriving home beaten, bankrupt, or even dead. but the historic agreement between cuban artists activists and the government tough to read protests over freedom of expression. because paul coming up too when you need to be 20 minutes or so, the women making history in u.s. college football are all here with us. and it's $31.00 afghan soldiers have been killed in a suicide bombing in ghastly problems. and one of the worst attacks in recent

months. local health officials say another $24.00 were injured. no group has yet claimed responsibility. laura. but manley has this report, it was at this compound in eastern that has the province where an attack it detonated a car full of explosives. afghan security forces have their base here. officials say the explosion damaged the 1000000000 homes around the compound. both of them, when the explosions happened near an army command, a base, the number of casualties is unclear, but there are casualties. they've been transferred to the hospital. that's going to matter. the most want to start the afghan people's enemies. wanted to attack with a car bomb, but our forces stopped them. their 1st shot at all watchman and killed them. but before they could reach the targets a car bomb exploded in. the violence comes as afghan government representatives and the taliban are holding their 1st face to face to looks in qatar. they're aiming to

strike a deal to end the decades of conflict. since the taliban was toppled from power in the u.s. that invasion in 2001. there is, has always been a consideration, a concern that there will be spending groups within the girl about what, not happy with the peace process. and they want to beat kind of on government and steve or beat everything that they have been able to push the americans across that the u.s. is also pushing to end its longest war. in 2 months time, its promise with 2 or 2 and a half 1000 of its soldiers from afghanistan, and many u.s. bases, it be handed over by the afghan army. but that's due to happen during a very violent here. the u.n. says nearly $6000.00 afghan civilians were killed or wounded in the 1st 9 months of 2020. it says the taliban was responsible for 45 percent of civilian casualties.

government troops, the 23 percent, and with many hoping that a deal would put an end to the violence. the u.n. says it's reaching near record levels. you're about among the al-jazeera and all refinery in northern iraq has halted operations after a rocket attack started a fire official say firefighters are working to contain the blaze in the seller who didn't province off the rockets, hit a fuel storage dep. and we're now hearing that i still have claimed responsibility for the attack. there have been no reports of injuries, but a funeral is being held for iran's top nuclear scientist who was killed in a bomb attack on friday. when his coffin will pass through several cities across the country, he is expected to be buried in tehran on monday. vowed to retaliate and blames israel for the assassination. president trump returned to the white house a short time ago after a stay at the presidential retreat at camp david. he took no questions from

reporters, but did call into a conservative news network, where he continued to complain about the election, even as a recount in wisconsin. confirmed joe biden's would speak to 10, she could name is in washington d.c. and the talk show aside from there's a lot of talk about the demi can potential crisis on the foreign policy front. what concerns all of that about the fallout from the assassination of the arabian. you can a scientist on friday. well, there is a lot of concern 1st and foremost about retaliation. of course, the iranians are pointing the finger at israel, but there is definitely reason to believe that the iranians are wondering what the united states knew. and when they knew it, israel and the united states are very close allies. trump has forged a very close for a poor with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. and the 2 parties regularly

share intelligence. of course, we don't know at this point, an official in israel saying that he doesn't know anything about the assassination of most in the fuck reza day, that nuclear scientists in iran. but there is real concern in the united states of retaliation. and specifically retaliation against american forces and targets of fraud. there were sunday morning talk shows that was a big topic on the sunday morning talk shows. and several former officials say this isn't an issue of if iran will retaliate, it's when and how much they were tally $81.00, former obama military official said that iran has to retaliate if it has to save face. but there is a hope that perhaps iran will moderate its response, but you have to take into account that there are hard liners in iran who they say that is nothing is enough. you have to bear in mind that this is already, this is yet another blow in an already very difficult year for iran,

a 10 months ago, there was a drone strike ordered by president trump, that killed customs. so that money, he was a major general and a very powerful, revered figure in their security establishment. and now this nuclear scientists assassination. also bear in mind that a few weeks ago, president trump's aides in the oval office, had to back him away from talk of bombing, one of iran's most largest nuclear sites. so all of these things you might say are only giving iran are adding to the fuel in the fire in iran, but there's also this, you have to take into consideration that president elect joe biden was along with former president obama, one of the architects of the iran nuclear deal when it was passed in 2015, biden has said that he would like to reinstate the deal with iran. but so the

question becomes is, will iran feel that it can find an honest broker with the united states? will it be willing to reengage with the united states and enter into this agreement? one thing that many experts are saying right now is what the trump administration is doing at this moment is simply making it very difficult, generally, for the biden administration to get into office and make a quick and smooth transition. there were reports in the washington post yesterday of the trumpet, ministration, attempting to refashion the civil service. these are career civil service employees so that a number of them can be fired and another category of them can be elevated to a status of that. they actually can remain in office even after president trump leaves in january. so what we're hearing is that maybe this is yet another example of what's happened in iran of just how difficult it's going to be. once biden comes

to office and that he may find it, even if the best intentions to try to reengage with iran, might become impossible. or even touch thinks that it's a good name than washington d.c. . india's government says it will meet farmers union leaders next week following days of demonstrations. thousands have been staging a sit in near the capital new delhi to protest against a bill they say could devastate crop prices. farmers haven't agreed to the talks and say they don't plan to leave until the law is scrapped. rights groups say thousands of migrant domestic workers in the middle east face poor working conditions on the risk of physical and sexual assault. human rights agencies, brock says a number of bodies of female workers have been sent back to bangladesh from the gulf in the past 3 years to have a child through or from bangladesh. the cries of relatives as another coffin

arabs from the middle east at the international airport terminal in september 2019 . mongo concert. why? for him? a cotton was found dead hanging from a selling fan at the home where she worked as a domestic helper in saudi arabia. her body has still not been returned home alive, the employers paid for her 1st 8 months of work, but since then she worked without any salary. she even complained to the saudi police about not getting paid and being abused. but they took her back to the same employer in september 2900, i was informed of her death in november last year, dozens of bangladeshi female workers sent a video message from saudi arabia, pleading for help to be rescued. lord john used to work as a domestic helper in saudi arabia, unable to cope with their abuse. last year, she managed to escape back to bangladesh. a model doesn't have to look over there.

they would frequently abused me, never gave me enough to eat. i suffered a lot, i worked in that house for 10 months. whenever i demanded my salary, they used to beat me up. once they hanged me by a ceiling fan with a row. i almost died, but got saved by their children. many woman are also victim to human trafficking, gangs and unscrupulous. recruiting agents. recent study has shown more than 50 percent of female workers paid money to go abroad with jobs. that this by the woman not being required to pay for government sponsored jobs 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 are being abused. there should be 0. tolerance for this. at the beginning of november, 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 return home with a head injury now she suffers from post-traumatic disorders like just being in color, the bigger many others who manage to survive through these odell's also face social stigma. and in some cases their families do not want to accept them. while others face long term mental health issues tend to charge 3, i'll just money gone bangladesh. still ahead here on how this hero fed up with the status quo thousands paid to change in guatemala. the support to come to the global

pandemic can't stop some of the world's best long distance runners, competing in the indian capital. and i was that time of the year when the rain falls heavily of bushy. any city in the middle east, you get a bit of flash flooding for drains away. that was certainly case in kew 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 showers. 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 choose in the same time the big showers in cypress and some ticky 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 how does burke who see beautiful skies in the evening or at night? that's obviously sunday. 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 moves on be does want right in this town here. so the longest forecast is probably welcome 3 days of thunderstorms, and they're going to hang around, i think for a bit after that these explosions were not an act of war. these nuclear bombs were experiments by the soviet union to the kazakh people who lived in the vicinity. the motives might be

little difference. rewind, silent news on down to 0. zero's here to report on the people often ignored, but who must be heard? how many other channels can you say will take the time and put extensive thought into reporting from under reported areas? of course we cover major global offense, but our passion lies in making sure that you're hearing the stories from people in places like palestine, libya, yemen, the sahara region, and so many others to go to them to make the effort, we care to stay or

how do you know what she had to hear my 4 top stories to tell. and at least 110 civilians have been killed in northeast nigeria in the what the un has described as a gruesome ask your pharmacy tending their coffers. many others were injured in the attack. local officials blame the group boko or the if you think government says it is hunting for any to ground forces who may be hiding around the regional capital of mecca. the red cross is warning, there's been an influx of trauma. patients and hospitals are running dangerously low on medical school. at least 31 afghans, mainly soldiers have been killed in a suicide bomb attack in dallas. the prophets dozens were injured. the attack targeted a public protection force compound belonging to afghan security forces. no group has yet claimed responsibility. this was photos have rejected a plan to hold businesses accountable for human rights and environmental violations

. committed to promote the measure, could have made large switzerland based firms liable for any damages they caused. and those of their foreign subsidiaries and partners, the government opposed the measure in his backyard watered down, the tentative and the mental barriers and legal advisor for amnesty international, switzerland, and a supporter of the initiative. she didn't agree with criticism that the proposal would put swiss businesses at a disadvantage. we already see that we have a law in france, and that is working at the moment that we have countries like the u.k. or us to canada, where we have cases. some cases have been decided, some cases are pending in front of the courts. and we can see that now already and that you level they are discussing this, we are having discussions in term many. so we see that everywhere it is a topic and that is being discussed. and i think it's just a question of time until we will have also regulation on the human level. for instance. i think when we can see what is different from what will now you know, in incident when we will have a counterproposal that tester is only reporting. however,

what we can see with these kind of lost that ask really for you to diligence and also have liability. but what we really aiming for is to prevent this from happening in the 1st place. but if they happen, there needs to be also some sort of mechanism that you can bring those companies can do to reverse, for instance, that really destroy life because of people that you can bring them in front of the court. and so i am very optimistic, of course, it won't solve all of the problems, but i think it does really something that will change the reality in terms of the companies they did put it in a different perspective, where in, within their company will be something that is taken seriously, and they have to analyze the risks and look at where their biggest problems are. so in debt terms, yes, i think it would change something. pro-democracy activists say, shots have been fired by security forces during protests in the better person captive minsk. the hairy ass thousands have rallied in the city's residential areas continuing their months long

dumon for president because because worst nation rights group vs not say more than 150 people by the use own 2 brazil which is holding its 2nd round of municipal elections off the months of campaigning, we should have a shot at by violence and of course coronavirus voting has been across the country's major cities and a runoff which could show the swing away from far right kind of its aligned with the president, john polson, 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 cave it 19 cases, but speak now to monica eunuch if he joins us live from rio de janeiro, monica 1st, what's expected? what's expected outcome of this image? well everybody is really looking to those 2 major cities which are really of shiny arrow up and down and in both maybe candidate but have been ordered

by president taylor will land so and but many candidates that he supported did not when this round of elections that does not mean that he personally does that they have the port, you have the support of like a 3rd of the population, but it doesn't carry on to other people which makes him have a very weak. well, a typical base to whatever. and he has no political party, like contrary to u.s. president, donald trump was the republican party behind them. both have won the support has losing one of the country's biggest cities with what does she mean for his future? well if that will be in the next 2 weeks, but usually the candidates from follow are like the ones that are mayors or

governors in sao paulo are the ones that usually we consider like possible candidates for the presidential election. he has to win years to go so far he hasn't delivered campaign promises. partly because the good 19 but also in terms of ovid 19. brazil is the 2nd largest hot spot in terms the fatal death after the fear of death after of united states. so it's not in a good standing, there's a 14 percent unemployment rate, which is one of the highest there are many economical problems to be solved. and at this very moment, we're hearing think something that will be like the 2nd wave of the bow of the 19th and that may without ever having bought nowhere the 1st waves. so hospital to get are being are crowded. and so people are worried about what will happen,
