it will as we can to as many people as possible no matter how much they know about a given crisis or issue as al-jazeera correspondents that's what we strive to do. i know i'm maryam namazie you're watching the news hour live from london coming up in the next 60 minutes a new coronavirus strain spreads quickly in the u.k. the w.h.o. is notified millions of people a placed on the tougher restrictions for christmas. as election unrest in the central african republic the former president is accused of attempting a coup u.n. peacekeepers are on high alert. with a kidnapping ordeal over nigerian families celebrate the return of that sounds but

some still fear for their safety and to wrenshaw rain and flooding compounds the already harsh winter conditions for syrians displaced by war and conflict. or to south korea for. crowned champions of asia they fought from a go down to the surrounds persepolis to play in the champions league carry the index. hello welcome to the news hour we begin here in the u.k. where health officials are concerned about the prevalence of a new mutated form of the corona virus that's linked to spiraling infections new restrictions have been imposed here in london and in the southeast of the country where the mutation is causing a surge in cases that are filling up hospital wards the new measures a similar to

a full lockdown will extend through christmas day well health organizations been given data on the mutated strain which is 70 percent more transmissible so it's more contagious scientists say it's not full to be more deadly though and vaccines should still be effective worry chalons has this report. for days scientists and opposition politicians have been saying it's the government shouldn't be letting so many english households mick's over christmas on saturday boris johnson relented it is with a very heavy heart i must tell you we cannot continue with christmas as planned. the new coronavirus variance was spreading alarmingly in london and the southeast he said adding that the world health organization had been alerted to the mutant strain it's 70 percent more transmissible and a new 4th tier of restrictions is needed residents in those areas miss stay at home apart from limited exemptions set out in law non-essential retail indoor gyms and

leisure facilities and personal care services was close individuals can only meet one person from another household in an outdoor public space. just days ago boris johnson mocked his opposition rival here starmer for questioning why restrictions were being released for christmas and if he really is going to press ahead with this can he tell us what's the assessment and has it been done of the impact that it will have on infection rates and increased pressure on the n.h.s. what's the impact. mr speaker we should have the guts just to say what he really wants to do which is to cancel the plans people have made and thanks to our council christmas that's really that's what i think that's what he's driving at this is bigger london has gone from tear to tear for a no family christmas in just 4 days in parts of england in lo it is allowing 3 households to mix for 5 days is being reduced to just christmas day itself

scotland's 1st minister says her country is allowing only one day of mixing to and is essentially pulling up the drawbridge if you had people travelling to join you for christmas from. that will no longer be permitted. it will no longer be permitted for any avoids to travel to anywhere in the rest of the u.k. for christmas we simply cannot take the risk of this stream traveling from different parts of the uki. part it's not just the united kingdom other european countries are tightening restrictions too among them italy has announced a new national lockdown over most of the holidays it's a lead germany france and 5 other e.u. states are coordinating the start of their covert vaccinations it's this big cities prime minister says that signals the nightmare is about to end brewery chalons does era london. so as we just heard u.k.

health officials are monitoring a variant of corona virus which was spreading faster mutated strains have been studied since the pandemic 1st began and this one was reported on monday sought to be 70 percent more transmissible than the original strain there's no evidence that it has a higher mortality rate a new strain in south africa is also now spreading quickly the 501 that variant is that it's been responsible for a 2nd wave of infections in that country with which research is saying that there are similarities between this strain and the one identified here in the u.k. well this isn't the 1st mutation of the virus as early as march scientists in china identified an l. type and s. type strand u.k. genetic specialists say there are around $1.00 to $2.00 mutations per month globally but most will have little effect so joining us now via skype is simon clarke he's the head of the biomedical sciences division at university of reading here in the u.k. and i suppose one of the questions very difficult to want is how it is whether the

mutation originated inside the country or whether it came it was whether it was brought in. yeah that's a very difficult question so our answer. we might be able to get there one day it would depend on other countries having that there was surveillance that we have in the u.k. to see if any isolates overseas had the same taisha it was from a date but that's what's it would require if we go to somewhere else but there's every reason of course that it could've just written in the united kingdom has to arise something what does this mean for infection rates in the coming weeks and months are they think it means that there are these upward pressure on our infection rates. but of course the authorities then have to push back against that with their restrictions and they have to design those

appropriately they have to be able to keep the numbers of new factions of the some sort of control if their numbers are going down that by definition i think the restrictions are working. the mutation we've been told is partly responsible for a recent surge in cases in the u.k. but how i mean how easy is it to establish that i mean does it need to be urgently investigated whether we are seeing a rise in cases from the original corona virus or whether it's being driven by that the mutation. well the most important question of course is whether or not the government's a very up or down group diagnoses a proportion of those diagnoses are taken away examined in great detail and that's how detentions like this are found so we'll only get one so data from the

over so that they rule that it's a compliment what about. but they're both important what's interesting is that even though the mutation makes the virus more infectious that doesn't necessarily make it more dangerous. you know in that sense we're being told that it's unlikely to affect the vaccine. is why you took folk rock scene the changes that are made to the target that's it i don't think that it is a big no no are sufficient enough to make a vaccine not worth it if that were to be a problem in the way that may 1 day be a problem with over the tensions which will come along then i don't think it's such a problem to do very new forms of about see that response that we do if we remove it's not a big that's really interesting what you just said so right now we need taishan

said to be expected they'll arise naturally is the virus replicates and continues to to live on but only a very small number of of need haitians will actually change the virus in a significant way but it could still happen in the future. yes and you know almost certainly we're really going to tell you should slow down below your report all the time and they can be quite useful because they act like a barcode so you can trace track how it strains all the various rather move across the world through time so they can be useful but of course many of them don't affect our effective at sea all the salute the potency to cause of this is thanks very much really learning to talk to you and pick your brain about simon clarke head of biomedical sciences at university of reading well in other developments the united states is about to roll out the mandela vaccine which

will be the 2nd to be approved there after the one developed by pfizer castro is following events forests in washington and she says that it's going to dramatically increase the nation's vaccination capability. already we are told that biles of the mcgurn of vaccine are going into boxes the c.d.c. is meeting as i speak today and tomorrow and as soon as that approval is given trucks will depart the modern of the syllabus and carry those vaccines to all 50 states we're talking about close to 6000000 vaccines going out and joining the previous 2000000 or so some vaccines from pfizer now there have been a few hiccups along the way thus far of course pfizer has been out for a week now and some governors have complained that the number of acts in a sions they received were tens of thousands fewer than what had been promised by the federal government we got some clarity on that earlier today in

a briefing by operation warp speed the government oversight of the distribution process saying that it was a planning error and that those vaccines that have not come yet but were promised will indeed show up ultimately this is a massive distribution effort the goal according to operation or speed is still to get $20000000.00 vaccinations by the end of the month here and then the next chapter of this will be phase 2 and there's still much discussion about exactly who to include that will be also be determined in a case in a state by state manner at this point it's essential workers older people as well as people with existing medical conditions all jostling in essence for those very limited doses or look at developments elsewhere in the world because india has just gone past 10000000 confirmed cases of code 19 making it the 2nd worst affected nation off to the united states but the pace of infections interested me that is

slowing from a peak of just under $100000.00 new data cases in the month of september it's now averaging around 30000 despite the hindu festival season in november. millions of people mixed many of them without wearing mosque's health officials estimate 60 percent of the population might now have been infected which means that they would give them an element of herd immunity in that country and then in south korea there's been an order of hospitals to reserve one percent of their beds for syria's covert 1000 patients is the hit by a 3rd wave of infections it just recorded a 4th consecutive day of more than $1000.00 cases the 1st time that's happened south korea has only $659.00 confirmed deaths in total from the virus a figure many put down to an aggressive test and trace program or gaza or is on the 2nd day of its new weekly lockdown as infections and death rates continue to rise that shops and restaurants have shut their doors since those days evening they'll be closed every friday and saturday gaza's health ministry says more than $33000.00

people have been infected territory is one of the most densely populated areas on earth and its health service was already struggling before the pandemic. in watching the news hour live from london coming up president elect and vice president elect are committed to a diverse cabinet and i'm honored and humbled to accept their nomination for secretary of the interior joe biden pick step holland as interior secretary she is the 1st native american to hold the post. sweeping the clouds away the sesame street characters bringing support to children in the world's largest refugee camp. and then later in the hour how will this fall with jamma boxing walls get ready for one of those highly anticipated fights of thinking.

now a number of armed groups occupying large areas of the central african republic have announced a coalition head of next week's elections that move comes as un peacekeepers are deployed in response to a series of attacks and callous hack as our courts. rebel leaders and president are going to war they are in a room together last november signing a pact of peace and reconciliation but that's been broken at least 11 rebel armed groups are moving towards the capital bangui to put pressure on the government days before a presidential election twitterer who is running for a 2nd mandate is favorite but the rebels the coalition for patriotic change said in a statement the president failed to deliver on an agreement to offer its leaders position in government and funds to disarm their troops a government spokesman described this as an attempted coup. on the. central african republic is facing an attempt to destabilize

a democratically elected government we believe former president and foreign mercenaries are organizing attacks. possibly this is attempt to run for reelection has been invalidated by the constitutional court in 2013 he was accused of amending religious divisions calling on christian militia groups known as the. to attack pro-government fighters known as the anti select the un intervene then sending in french troops to protect civilians while the government puts the blame on their former president there is no mention of him in this statement signed by rebel leader is not. showing again how the situation is in the central african republic just one week before the presidential election russian trained troops have now launched operations to regain control of the country the un's 12000 strong peacekeeping force is on high alert deployed on major roads around the

capital so the very. moment. when the 2 rounds of elections but the problem grows and that the 1st round of elections. and i don't see up in the next week because when the cement. but given the security situation right now it isn't of course impossible to organize election caught in this latest spiral of violence are the people of central african republic more than half a 1000000 have left their homes with nowhere to go their norwegian refugee council describes it as the world's most neglected conflict in a country unable to find peace nicholas hark al-jazeera. but adrian supremo is a photo journalist based in the central african republic joins us now via skype from bolivia and we would just tearing in nic hacks report there about armed groups rebel armed groups moving towards the capital what can you tell us about

developments there in the past 72 hours what's the security situation like all apologies for that we'll try and get a hold of. that really to our there have been i did in this town going to work for the country you know for many in. our apologies for that so i will try and get adrian about will try to get a better link to the but you want to keep track of what's happening in the central african republic is a volatile security situation in that country there have been accusations of the former president trying to stage a coup but those are just allegations that are being made at the moment before the election coming up on the 27th of december but it is a volatile security situation keeping a close close eye on on what's happening there and will try and get back to

a little bit later in the news hour we do still have some time in the meantime we want to look at what's happening in nigeria all of the 344 boys kidnapped in northern nigeria last friday have been reunited with their families their duction has highlighted the westing security situation in africa's most populous country and an address returned to the town of kent card to meet some of the students and their parents. the last 2 mobile work and get us home received so many visitors it was 15 years ago that was when the youngest child was born. mabel and well wishers returned to celebrate again this time most a safe return after 60 ordeal of the homes of kidnappers. mostly it's one of the 344 school boys released after they were abducted by gunmen from a boarding school more than a week ago. i can't really express how i feel who was miles have returned home

there is no after having read a letter when it is it seems tory in almost every home affected here and elsewhere most life ambition is to become a surgeon but after the days he spent in captivity he's having a rethink about future studies because. frankly every student is scared of going back prison threatened to kill us next time they sees us many of his fellow students will regain their freedom are equally scared about continuing their education after threats made by the kidnappers but slowly they can get a community is getting back on its feet the mood in going to has dramatically changed since our last visit here are a few days ago 1344 students are still missing now the local market is fully open but the main talking point for the people is security they want to see evidence of more protection by the security forces. at the age of

a force strictest into some fora where many of the bandits gangs of gunmen hide out before launching attacks on local communities. is the most vulnerable council in katsina states yes we have one armored personnel carrier a few soldiers and police but that's not enough to deal with the big threat we face daily. become for now but in other villages around here people are living in fear they have been reports of other attacks on at least 2 communities nearby since the release of the students there's been a significant security presence here because of the recent abductions but it's not clear how long that will last how many degrees. north west nigeria. having rain and strong winds are adding to the plight of syrian refugees living in of a crowded camps the u.n. says at least 21 camps in the northwestern city of idlib have been destroyed by severe weather right now mohammed has more. to run children floods into this

refugee camp in northwest syria families are doing whatever they can to stay warm in makeshift tents covered in mud. the of our condition is very bad we have no proper tents nor a proper living i have 10 children and we do not get any and we collect firewood to run the heater. aid agencies estimates nearly half a 1000000 people are huddled in camps like this in it live the last rebel held area in syria rains are affecting this area particularly badly the drainage system is poor and flood water is seeping into overcrowded shelters basic supplies are running out. our situation is dire we do not get aid and we don't have heaters or fuel roads that lead to the camp a cut off because it's based on an agricultural land it's been described as the largest mass displacement in almost 10 years of conflict in syria millions are now

homeless after a russian backed syrian government offensive this year and now the u.n. warns the harsh winter could become a breeding ground for the coronavirus and other deadly diseases overcrowding in the camps is making it difficult to keep a social distance. we were displaced during the regime's last campaign we are suffering a lot in the winter tents would fall on us and would have to keep on resetting them applaud the night look it's like a pond it's as though in venice would need to go from one tent to the next where of the humanitarian organizations. many of the people here have nowhere else to go and they're desperate for help from the international community they've lived through harsh winters like this before now they cling to whatever they hope they can find in this camp facing another battle in a long war they're hoping to survive mohammed al jazeera. in other stories a falling u.s. president donald trump is downplaying what many politicians are describing as the

biggest cyber espionage attack against washington trump statement comes just hours after his top diplomat my own post said it's pretty clear that russian hackers have behind an ongoing cyber attack in which more than 40 organizations have been targeted this includes 6 government departments but trump says everything is under control for the sentence a cyber attack is only still emerging and it could be months before hackers are removed from the systems they've accessed. now joe biden has nominated congressman holland as his interior secretary she will be the 1st native american to serve in this role but she looks off to tribal lands and vast parts of native wilderness a member of the member for new mexico also be the 1st native american in a cabinet secretary role accepting the nomination helen said experiences growing up will help her to serve as growing up in my mother's pablo household made me fierce what life is not been easy i struggle with homelessness i relied on food

stamps and raise my child as a single mom these struggles give me perspective so that i can help people to succeed my grandparents who were taken away from their families as children and sent to boarding school in an effort to destroy their traditions and identities maintained our culture this moment is profound when we consider the fact that a former secretary of the interior once proclaimed his goal to quote civilized or exterminate us i'm a living testament to the failure of that horrific idiology. that speech as you have returned to live now from wilmington delaware how important is this appointment champ. it can't be understated it's interesting whenever joe biden announces his cabinet nominees he always talks about how it's the most diverse set of nominees in american history

and that's true but a debate always ensues afterwards which is yeah that's true but if all your women and people of color that you're nominating are all people who are staunchly part of the establishment well i mean how radical is that anyway in this case there is no debate holland is a proven fighter for environmental justice so as secretary of the interior if she is confirmed she will be a not only will be historic in the sense that she is the 1st native american to be a cabinet secretary but the actual department has so much relevance here not just because of her fighting for you know against climate change against poil pipelines gas pipelines around the country but because she is clearly someone who because the interior department is has have such a big part of she was saying in the destruction of native americans or have a native american woman in charge of huge huge tracts of the north american

continent it's natural resources it's wildlife it is symbolically hugely important now has joe biden nominated a bunch of people who are close to oil and gas and wall street and all sorts of other people in other parts of the government who love making a huge amount of money by destroying the environment at least those sectors do if not the people yeah yeah yeahs so to be wrenching to see there have this there's not develops between this not just the balance actually but this entire environmental team that he dominated today who really seem to see environmental justice as key and climate change is key to all policy decision making throughout the government and how that's going to work now and gel with all the establishment figures biden has nominated elsewhere in the government and what more have we learned sham about the climate policy. biden keep saying he understands it's an existential threat climate change is an existential threat and there are various ambitious targets which are in biden's

policy. us a little good produce carbon based out of 20350 emissions by 2050 he rejoined paris he says on the 1st day of his administration the paris climate change accord but there's no understanding that they have to go further paris climate change accord negotiated under obama there's an understanding that clearly that didn't go far enough hire a section of the they called was watered down significantly by the obama administration in paris they want to go further they say and then as a result there we have for example a national climate change zollo nominated today gina mccarthy this position didn't exist before they've been seen environmental advisors in the past but now we have someone who theoretically at least will will have a say in policy across government and it's also interesting about this is well this is a this didn't exist but it was demanded by the sunrise movement a group of students who didn't you know didn't have

a movement 2 years ago they were able to say look we want to climate czar and we're going to make sure that no one has oil and gas interests if they're going to be part of environmental policy they succeeded so that's another moral too perhaps thanks very much and wellington that i lash out by tons of. still ahead on this news hour from london we'll be taking you to a sacred city that's now battling squashes peru's archaeologists call for protections for the remains of the oldest civilization in the americas. zimbabwe's animal parks take to the skies in a bid to protect the elephants from poaches. and $36.00 all out india suffer a crushing defeat to australia all that and more coming up in the sport with gemma . hollow we've got mall mild weather pushing into western parts if you don't worry it

will cool off as we head towards christmas well supplied ongoing tumbling in from the atlantic quite tightly packed ice about the rattling of showers coming in there across the british isles along the spells of rain stretching down across france into spain and portugal it's all making its way east was and so we'll see some wet weather coming into that eastern side of france to speak go on through sunday pushing down towards the north of italy koresh was cross central parts of the mediterranean further east and west the weather over towards the black sea but not too much in between fine and dry slow clap it's the folks in the case increasing waves will help shift some of that for those central areas wetter weather making its way into germany spell of dry weather they're coming back across the british isles but the the next batch of town right not too far away that will push in across the press potentially as we go into the early part of next week some base pieces of wet weather also lapping onto the shores of algeria well in parts of

morocco some wet weather a possibility too into tunisia course much of north africa it is of course dry but we have got some showers just hugging the coast of guinea with some wetter weather all the way over to sierra leone and. american people have finally folk in america as i see it when america is off balance or will become more dangerous the world is looking at us live next year of sadness and grief. with the election behind us will the republican party dump truck to the fuel weekly take on us politics and society that's the bottom line. city has become a major issue the demand is going straight up and the supply is going straight down turning an essential natural resource into a commodity traded for profit just because it's life doesn't mean it cannot be priced what about the guy that can afford it guys teles water. al-jazeera

examines the social financial and environmental impact of water privatized loads of water on al-jazeera the usa is always of interest but people the world people pay attention to will be going here and al-jazeera is very good at bringing the news to the world from here. welcome back you're watching news hour just one remind you of our main stories now the prime minister of britain boris johnson has been forced to take action to deal with spiraling cases of the coronavirus party linked to a new mutated strain believed to be up to 70 percent more transmissible new

restrictions similar to a full locked out of been imposed on london and the southeast of the country joe biden is nominated congressman debbie holland to be as interior secretary she will be the 1st native american to serve in this role which looks after tribal lands and vast parts of native wilderness and the 1st native american in a cabinet secretary role. in the u.s. actually general is calling on armed groups in the central african republic to lay down their weapons after several announce they formed a coalition ahead of next week's election government is accusing the country's former president of planning a coup. agency point or is a photojournalist based in the central african republic joins us via skype now from so we know that rebel rebel groups have been marching towards the capital there of these accusations from the government of the former president might be planning a coup ahead of those elections how would you describe the security situation right

now so and that's the need to how or is there or has been. rioting in towns and the west of the country and on homes on the main roads leading to the kept opening. surety situation is tense. the u.n. has deployed and the national army is also on the ground. so everything is a world thing pretty. now things in the capital are still pretty. what about the leaders of these 3 main rebel groups they collectively these these 3 leaders control. quite a bit of territory hour around the country now they announced an alliance on saturday what could that mean so rebel groups still control more or less 80 percent of the central african territory and what is new

about this alliance is that it comprises boats and iraq and excellent groups which are factions that used to fight in the conflict since 2013 so does alliance mean there is. well something some kind of a new force because they wouldn't they weren't you know to the core and they are now what could that mean more stability less debility it's interesting that you mention that 2013 and we know that was really when when things deteriorated in the country and then last year there was this agreement between the government and on groups but that the implementation of that has not been effective is the expectation that things could get worse before or after this election next week. for the moment there are i mean well hears and rumors and banki and

a lot of here is that the situation that happened in 2013 is repeating itself but i mean all of this is not counting on the defense in the situation with when for is being deployed and also the national army reinforced and having trained and passed here it is and yes the peace agreement that was signed almost 2 years ago now has not been fully respected there is almost daily actions to deal. i don't think that the it is only in the elections that would be a turning point. and it is why do you say that. well i think the the security situation has been worsening in the past year is.

and just and the past week prior to the elections although now things happen accelerated what does that mean for people in the country who are caught between this fighting. and the context of the elections there is 1800000 registered voters now and when the fanning has been going on in various towns some people have been displaced out of their homes and out of the towns so there might be people that are not exceeding that can't go to the polls and it's also important to remind that almost half of the population of the central african republic that is $2800000.00 people are in need of humanitarian help and the good ation situation the security situation is also. creating issues in the. well for the humanitarian workers to get and express those book additions to. be able to be with them on the ground it's

a complicated situation there isn't it with a great many people still displaced and fears about more fighting thank you for helping us on the understand it agency quinnell appreciate that joining us there from. want to move on now to sudan scattered demonstrations taking place in the capital city with rallies marking 2 years since the uprising led to the removal of president tomorrow bashir from office some groups are also voicing anger against the current transitional government since the uprising millions of sudanese people have had to endure a deteriorating economy and limited government services algis areas have a morgan was with the protesters earlier in the heart i'm. it's not just the 2nd anniversary of the revolution that started in december $20000.00 venting much of the allston off on president obama this year it's also the adversary of the declaration of sudan's independence from parliament so it is quite a significant day the people here say that there will be movement in their living

conditions in terms of because they have a new transitional government in place a transitional government that's less than 18 months before i was brought the power buyer of a museum by protesters our political parties that met the protest movement so there were 5 people mostly very disappointed at the fact that their health care conditions have not improved their living conditions have not improved the economic situation in the country has not improved so lots of disappointment lots of hunger there has been legislation that have been passed by the sons of over the past 14 months as well by legislation but give more rights to the people here in the country but they say that's not teaching their day to day affairs about sort of moving their living conditions so still the anger is there and then there's that you see over justice for those who lost their lives over the past 2 years since the fall of the demonstrations began more than 300 people have lost their lives the more the majority of them during the attack on the streets and hunting for this thing that they have demanded the government to make sure that the 1st thing it does is provide justice and accountability for the families of those affected by

some of these have been formed there has been some are going to investigation but there has been no charges that it's frustrating the people here. now parts of central argentina have been planned in into darkness in the middle of the day by a massive dust storm it measure to several across and hundreds of meters high blanketing a wide area of a province some 500 kilometers southwest of the capital desires social media users in the town of china recorded the streets in darkness in the middle of the often noon dust storms a created by a combination of high winds and dry weather. so throughout the week on algis there we've been bringing you these reports about a nascar heritage sites that could lose their special status in peru an ancient city is now under threat from squatters mariana sanchez reports from.

the secret city of corralling the remains of the oldest civilization in the americas have been standing here for 5000 years almost unscathed until now. farmers in the super valley or so in crops on the doorsteps of these ancient ruins and squatters have moved in. are killed or just who are here say they free sieved death threats element that we live in uncertainty this is far away if we called the police they take long to get here we don't know if the squatters will harm us. in illegal land seizures are common and look pretty and squatters are often in conflict with police are killer just route shot he was shot in the chest in 2002 she says she received more death threats and when she tried to evict squatters from at least 9 sites she got little help. we went to the police but they told us it wasn't their priority that we could not count on them we asked again and they sent

one officer with one is impossible to victim. land disputes have been going on for decades since being named the unesco heritage site in 2009 land prices around rocketed from 6 to nearly $50000.00 perfect or since the pandemic the archaeologists left the site and more squatters have moved in this is how close farms and urban areas are to ruins not only in cattle about throughout the coast of peru filled with vestiges of pre-columbian cultures the area is so vast it's nearly impossible to protect it all this archaeological sown is dispersed across hundreds of square kilometers families living close to it say they built homes here before it was discovered and they defend newcomers there may and we need a place to live if they pay us what we invested in our homes we can leave but they just come to victor us. police sell them supervise the 11 sites now occupied by

squatters to a victim now they will have to go to court and that can take years some say those delays risk the future of this engine site survived earthquakes climate change and generations of peruvians who revere did. just i'll just that i'll be too. now fighting in libya has devastated entire communities more than 125000 homes have been destroyed in southern tripoli sense after launched a military offensive last year although the fighting has ended for now many families don't have a home to go back to we met with a father who's trying to rebuild his life since they've been saying my name is faisal been saved and this is my house and i'm going engineer and i have 2 little girls and after the fighting began i left my house i didn't return until the war was over are you remember when we 1st left the house my family and i slept in the
