2:08 am
president donald trump has released a 46 minutes speech on social media outlining why he believes the election was stolen from him trump said it could be the most important speech he's ever made and continue to lead for him to lead rather that force took place during the election which has not been proven in court u.s. attorney general william barr says the justice department has found no evidence of widespread voter fraud but trump says he will continue the fight. even what i'm saying now will be demeaned and disparaged but that's ok i just keep on going forward because i'm representing 74000000 people and in fact i'm also representing all of the people that didn't vote for me. let's pay down to our white house correspondent allan fish allan it seems donald trump is really continuing to sow division on the election outcome even as much of the world is trying to move on. well those who are suggesting there is moving towards some sort
2:09 am
of concession or at least some sort of acceptance well that's been completely destroyed by what we saw you've got to remember let's put this in context donald trump is perhaps the most powerful politician in the world he didn't do this in front of journalists he didn't go on to network television he didn't command time with any of the t.v. shows here in the united states he didn't hold a big mass rally to deliver this speech he delivered 46 minutes on facebook and a lot of what he claims has been debunked here remember that just 24 hours ago we were talking about his attorney general william by and the interview that he gave they said there was no sign of any widespread fraud in the election a number of people from donald trump's campaigns have been in court including rudy giuliani his lead lawyer he even said during a court case in pennsylvania that they were not alleging widespread fraud some of the issues that he brought up have been circulating is conspiracy theories he's
2:10 am
been tweeting them out over the last couple of one months but they simply don't hold water let's take one example he said that observers were not allowed into the cunt in pennsylvania that was raised in court when the trump lawyer was asked how many people were in there from the trump campaign he said well that number is not 0 that's a very legal answer to say they had people in the room so these have been discounted a lot of the cases brought by trump's campaign have been thrown out many of them by trump's own appointees on the on the bench there was one judge who said the campaign simply can't go to court because they don't like the result they've got to present evidence and they did not do that so for 46 minutes we had a lot of what donald trump claims he's done over the last 4 years how he should have won the election it seems that he can't understand how elections what chi that he course this bought into the idea of mail in voting he urged people to vote on
2:11 am
the day. and so when votes were counted those who voted on the day were counted 1st and then when the mail in ballots were added which the democrats had pushed for a very long time the past doll trumps numbers he simply can't seem to get this head around that many people are critical of what donald trump has done in the last couple of overs this is bad news for democracy they simply not accepting the reality of the result and donald trump said he would accept the result if it was done by fear means but many of the states have already declared the results the results are in donald trump one joe biden is the president elect of the united states and will be sworn in on the 20th of january and will move into the white house that very afternoon ok i think that alan fischer there are white house correspondent after almost 3 months of negotiations there's been a breakthrough in peace talks between the afghan government and the taliban
2:12 am
representatives from both sides say they've agreed on a framework for negotiations their agreement covers rules and procedures for talks next they will formalize an agenda the u.s. military will withdraw all its forces by may that's on condition talks make progress and a comprehensive cease fire is in place there is a sum of binge of aid explains why it's taken nearly 3 months afghan government and taliban negotiate has to agree even on a framework. the 3 major sticking points in this 1st round of talks was the issue islamic jurisprudence of the taliban insisting that the hun if you school of thought needs to be prevailing in terms of the decisions as well as disagreements that seems to have been agreed upon then there was the issue of inclusion of minorities including the shia muslim minority in the going to stand as well as other religious minorities that is something that the afghan government side seems to have been able to include in this preamble and also the most important point was that the taliban wanted this to be
2:13 am
a continuation of their deal that they reached between them and the united states and that is something which was not acceptable to the afghan government which said that they were not party to that agreement so that seems to have been resolved as well as the event government's insistence on him including the loya jirga as well as the united nations has also been agreed upon so yes there has been progress in this 1st round but the reality on the ground is that the of gun people continue to suffer this has been one of the bloodiest year in spikes in violence in afghanistan and both sides who have been here in doha for months have agreed to continue to talk. nato secretary general jaan start burke has welcomed the break through nato has about 11000 troops in afghanistan but if negotiations continue successfully and the cease fire is broken it will leave by make. today is you can discuss whether it's
2:14 am
a big or small step but importantly is that it's the 1st step is the 1st time actually tall a ban on the afghan government or able to sign a document agreeing on the framework to modalities for negotiations addressing a long term peaceful solution how to reach peace in afghanistan. made in a diary is a negotiation with the afghan government delegation in doha he says agreement on a talks framework is a milestone but it's disappointing violence continues across afghanistan there's no doubt the people of afghanistan are fed up with the double lives would continue that tack on our institutional public infrastructure out of innocent lives that are being taken through attacks carried out more intensely in the past few months but the very fact that there 'd is violence makes it more necessary to engage
2:15 am
more. into peace discussion our primary the people of us us primary interest to silence the guns to reach to cease fire and that's what we are committed to achieve there is. discussion about the systems by our key partners is a sort of decision of them but as long as much is depends on our side it plans to some of us than is committed both to defend and protect our people and our constitution but also to commit fully genuinely with good faith to reach to peaceful settlement in this war. still ahead on al jazeera aid agencies get the go ahead to entity gray region after a deal between the united nations an ethiopian government. and there's a hope in lebanon on the top officials will be held accountable in the 4 months of

2:19 am
despite the failure of several legal challenges. the afghan government and taliban the goetia is have agreed on a framework for talks on 2 weeks of stalemated negotiations and. secretary general has welcomed that as a positive 1st step. u.s. media is reporting that saudi arabia is close to reopening its airspace and land borders to qatar has been under a land blockade by saudi arabia bahrain the u.a.e. and egypt since june 27th senior advisor to president trump was in qatar on wednesday and is reported to have also visited saudi arabia bloomberg a new york times suggests the tentative deal is being brokered by kuwait and does not include bahrain the u.a.e. and egypt. the united nations has signed a deal with ethiopia's government to get unrestricted humanitarian access to the 2 great region the agreement will allow aid workers to access federally controlled

areas more than a 1000000 people a thought have been displaced by fighting which began nearly a month ago $100.00 val has more from got a reef in neighboring sudan. the ethiopian government hasn't yet commented so we don't have all the details yet the u.n. is saying that's probably by wednesday there will be a fest mission there to do some assessment within the 3 regions that the government has allowed access to those. adjacent to tipperary so it's understandable that they could delay should be included in this because some of the people affected by this conflict might half or so to those 2 regions this is also good news for those who are still probably stuck within ukraine because of how somebody poor student during the last few days that the access the crossing points to sudan have been blocked by some paramilitaries some militias and i'm here and also by the. open army we can't verify that allegation but we have not used to come
2:21 am
down of the numbers of people coming from ethiopia understandably also it is probably because the war has somehow subsided but this is good news not only for humanitarian organizations but also for the g.o.p. is themselves within the conflict zone understandably aid will be coming soon there are some formalities to be followed of course when it comes to the u.n. and other organizations i think it's going to take days before aid reaches that region. egeland is the secretary general of the norwegian refugee council he says there are considerable safety concerns for humanitarian workers and citizens integrating. we're desperate because for a month now we haven't really had contact even with their own staff aid workers on the ground there's been no communications or networks have been cut conflicting reports about who's doing what to whom including what's happening to the $100000.00
2:22 am
every tree and refugees they fled or a trailer they thought they had a safe haven into grey and now they were engulfed in the fighting so it's it is a golden principle of humanitarian work that we are always allowed to come to the vulnerable in their hour of greatest need and integrate we have been prevented from such access we need to have it now i would also appeal for the border to be kept open between us the opiah and sudan so that those who need to seek shelter here can still come here. representatives from libya's 2 rival powers are preparing to meet for their 1st joint sessions and 2014 members are traveling to the city of damas in western libya for the meeting on monday the highly anticipated session follows talks in morocco rivals agreed on a framework to end a years long division. iran has approved new legislation that would allow the
