decades. let's figure out people's liberation for us, or a t p last dominated ethiopian politics for nearly 30 years. and so, prime minister, i'll be off my to power in 2018. i'll be ordered a military operation against the group and t gray in november after he said it attacked federal army bases to write off position. parties say more than 50000 people have been killed while the un says more than 350000 face the risk of famine . since november the t p l f has joined forces with other groups to form the t great defense force. after months of regrouping and recruiting new fighters, they began a major counter attack towards the regional capital mckelly in recent weeks, katherine sawyer, following the story for us out of nairobi. so what more has the government been saying about the situation? what was a take away message from the statement they made? yes, this is a fashion statement by the government in recent days and what stood out really from

this statement. one of the things that sued out the reasons given for the withdrawal of european forces that the government spokesman says that the reason why this school just to prepare for a more national external threat to be not mentioned what this corrected or which external forces. why, but basically the statesman said that the degree and defense horses that have been on the offensive not a priority, and not a major threat right now. and if need be, the military can very easily take the capital machaela within 3 weeks. but now the government has to deal with the external threats. it's talking about we also have seen scenes of jubilation in the northwest and town where the government to please do we have seen from the statement the governments saying that the ritual force and

how old. so with the drawn from to region, very difficult to verify this from the ground because communication has been cut off. so the spokesman saying that all this is a strategic decision and the sci fi was declared, is also a political decision to allow for farmers to go back to their firms and planting this planting season to of a find may not aaliyah. we did talk to the spokesman of t p l. s a t guy, people liberation front guitar to read out who says that the to grand forces will not rest until every each guy is liberated. he says, right now, the fighters are in the process of regrouping a reorganizing to an offensive, particularly in the north where there has been a huge presence of every tree and forces. so it's going to be interesting to see in the coming days how the government is going to react to these,

how empty tray is going to react to all this as well. because every track is very much a threat now and how the other allies of the government, the amar fighters are also going to respond to because they do control a huge chunk of western degree. okay, thank you so much. cap and sort of reporting from nairobi. the united states is calling for all sides and if you use conflict in t great to commit to a cease fire and allow delivery is a few mandatory and aid us. congressional committee on foreign affairs is and hearing evidence on the violence in the region. she have a tendency reports from washington, d. c. the bike and the ministration expressed, cautious hope with peace may be enduring. falling the sea declared by the if you can government into crime. but there was a warning about human rights abuses and a commitment, but the u. s would act if it was just the efforts toward a political settlement whipping hampered. we will not stand by in the face of horrors. in t grey though, robert go deck did not elaborate throughout the congressional hearing ethiopians

position as a key us ally in the region was emphasized even as witnesses. and then was a congress outlined the abbey, a government's responsibility for human rights abuses and malnutrition. if i leave you with one thing today, it is that usaid believe famine is likely already occurring and ethiopia here chairman of the florida fast committee was emphatic. but we are sick and falling into gray bears the hallmarks of crimes against humanity. and quite possibly a genocide, but if you hope you're is seen as key to the us as strategic objectives in africa, i'm move him, put his criticism of the european prime minister prospects for a durable piece. and if you and it's wrote as a responsible regional leader now in question, as is prime minister the abi legacy on the ground to ground forces the t p l f said they had the regional capital mckelly fully under that control. and there were

celebrations in the town of mid reports that eric trend troops had left a t. p. levels are about to push south and east to consolidate its position. notably, it has not been on c spy. the u. s. is treading carefully. washington has been trying to preserve all options with respect to its engagement with, with they've been trying to use diplomatic persuasion up to this point to get the ethiopian government to relent. it's sort of pursuit of total victory in gray. they have not been successful in, in that conversation, but they have withheld some of the most biting sanctions that the united states have. sanctions related to the human rights abuses that have gone on at the hands of b, o. b, in government troops and their allies in the region. it's clear of abiding administration wants to keep, if you can government close, especially as china extends its reach across africa. but there are reports that some members of congress will be keeping a close eye on. prime minister,

abba is actions, especially as they way the u. s. is foreign a to budget she ever times the al jazeera capitol hill in north korea's leader has replaced several top officials after what he called a grave lapse and current of virus prevention. qindzhong, who accused them of incompetence, saying the young specified incident had caused a major crisis. north korea close the borders in january last year to defend itself against coven, 1900, and hasn't reported any cases. right. mcbride has more from the south korean capital. so a he singled out a number of senior officials saying that they had neglected their duty in fighting the pandemic. i, but we don't know whether this means there has been some kind of outbreak or whether it refers to other measures, such as in the supply of food or economic measures that were meant to be implemented in fighting the pandemic that he was referring to. but certainly seems

to be failings are enough to get you to lose your job. several senior officials, we know, have been fired according to the north korean central news agency. and it comes, of course, is north korea claims. famously, it hasn't had a single case of kobe 19. it has virtually sealed itself off from the outside world since the beginning of the pandemic. that in turn has had huge economic consequences. we know that combined with storms definitely devastated the harvest last year. the country is facing food shortages in the coming months, and of course it remains extremely vulnerable to the a corona virus. we that has not been as far as we know, any kind of vaccination rollout. it has a rickety health care system that would be hard pushed to deal with any kind of outbreak. so as far as south korean officials can detect and surmise, looking at what's happening in north korea without knowing exactly what this

incident is, it does seem to be that kim junglin, facing all of the myriad problems and crises really trying to stamp internal discipline that asserted authority, as he deals with these critical times. mason richie is a specialist and security studies that hancock university of foreign studies. he says the regime is protesting itself by blaming failures on individual officials. one possibility is that perhaps the regime is preparing the way for perhaps accepting a by finally gesturing towards failure is being respected cronin virus. whether that be the virus, it's altering and outbreak or whether that be with supervision or you can make issues that can be something. this could also be in essence and attempt to get out in front of a story that they think might become obvious anyway. and essentially function as a way to, to turn this story around for its domestic population so that they can blame

failures within the party and within the countries of the party rather than that regime. it's also clearly the most obvious knock on effect would be a system that already mel nourishes people that economically mismanaged and doesn't do a good job of channeling the resources that it does have into places where it needs to go with find its population under increasing stress not only economically, but now also in terms of public health, the health care system is likely very shabby and clearly under resource and not really capable of taking care of the population. the cameras name of course, isn't going to be terribly concerned about that until the course is. a potential problem reaches the dimensions where it begins to threaten the regime. there has been another record. number of infections reported in indonesia and nearly 22000 in

the past day shar price was forced oxygen prices to double in the capital where some hospitals are overflowing. the red cross is warning. if a coven 1900 catastrophe, and calling for an urgent increase in testing on vaccinations, president joker with odo expect to finalize emergency restrictions later on. one thing, jessica washington has more from jakarta. as hospitals reach capacity, many families have been left with no choice but to take matters into their own. oxygen stores themselves to cough and some relatives have come here because they say they loved one. despite being critically ill, well, unable to receive hospital. here in the indonesian capital and it is a story that is sadly the reality for many families here in indonesia, that hospital all at 100 percent or in some cases, edging close to 100 percent capacity and have no room, they have to turn away critically ill patients and many of course i feel like i'm

home and it's up to the family who have to take matters into their own hands and try to keep their loved ones alive. whatever the cost, the cost of oxygen at the store has gone up, almost double used to be before the pandemic around $50.00 for one cylinder. now it's $130.00, which is a huge expense for many of the families. the entities and government says it anticipated that there would be a spike in 19 cases in june and july because of age celebrations. around 46000000 people traveled back to their home town full festivities, and as a result of that increase mobility, there was an increase in transmission of this virus. health care workers say however, that more must be done. even if the fight was anticipated, the government must do more now. they are calling for further restrictions on social mobility jobs. this rise still ahead on al jazeera,

. north cruise leader has several of his top officials after what he called a grave lapse. and corona virus prevention, qindzhong accused them of incompetence, saying the unspecified incident caused a major crisis. prices of oxygen have more than doubled the indonesian capital where a serge and current of virus cases was left. hospitals overflowing nearly 22000 new cases were reported in the past day. the red cross is warning of over 19 catastrophe. well, dozens of palestinian female journalists, me occupied westbank say they've been assaulted by local security forces while covering protests, some of their phones confiscated and say they're afraid to do their jobs for me on this. let's bring in. but i mean, she's joining us from my lot. so what more of the female journalists say, and what are they asking for? we've heard that emotional testimony from these journalists saying that they are intimidated. they were beats enough. they were prevented from doing their job in

the past few days. why with they were covering protests here. the adopted after the death of the palestinian authorities critic, nissan bernard who died just shortly after. he was detained by the palestinian security forces, and there was a feeling among those female journalist that they were being targeted for being female. remember, this is a conservative society and issues like these are very sensitive. they fear that because of the intimidation they were subjected to industry that their families would, might push them to not to do their job not be out in the field, fearing for their security. we've seen bruises. we've seen some journalists in cath explaining their wounds, but some of these wounds might not be very visible. this is the trauma. this is the emotional distress that they were under. we've seen some of them crying, fearing for their future. some of them have had their phones confiscated and these

phones are still nowhere to be found and the fear that they could be blackmailed by what's in these phones. and joining me here to talk more about that is that she works at hamlet, which is an organization that deals with digital rights. what violations did you document the past few days high and that. so over the past days we've seen how the security forces plain call this police officers and also to be and who's affiliated to the scene. and you were attacking journalists in the field . they were booking their cameras and they were affecting them. it seems that they have the fear of the documentation of the human rights violations that the fee is making to the processors to the activists and the these activists also were suffering from, from the fax from, from the p, a for to security forces. specifically, they were to, if they sold their,

their mobile phones, they broke some of them and they took the all the other part of them. and we have seen and documented account related to people who civilians affiliated to the p. a where publishing and sharing pictures of females, activists, they are private pictures of the females on the social media publicly. they were to be able to intimidate these grad, fred, the politics of p, and also to explore these grids and preventing them from going out to the streets again. and again. what could be done in that regard? can you do anything as hamlet? can you take those pictures down? yes, sure. how many as you as a visit to rights organizations? we've been coming to these cases and we've drifted partner for the social media company. we have committed this case. it's the social media companies and we ask them to take the content down and also to think about the actions and yeah,

actions regarding these accounts because they are exporting, they have like exertion. and they are like intimidating activists who are just going out to the peacefully and this is like a piece of privacy. and the also it like feet of the private data for these activists journalists. and as you know, this is like a very conservative community where we can spread these pictures and when, whenever they are printing and change the spectrum, it means that they are, they are affecting the lives of these females. and on the what's so called the honor killing because of these of these pictures. thank you so much manish. they issue work that's hamlet, which is an organization that deals with digital rights for palestinians that we've heard through words also in the press conference by some of the human rights defenders. they were saying it's a shame that they see that these attacks are happening from the palestinian security forces against their own people. thank you so much. him reporting from

grandma the occupied westbank. there's been violence between police and professors in a palestinian neighbourhood of occupied east jerusalem after is really forces demolished, a local butcher shop. the more than a dozen people were injured, including 2 officers around 20 properties in the area. are threatened with demolition and is really court says they don't have the necessary permits, but palestinians say the documents are impossible to attain. what protests against the palestinian authority are expected later on wednesday after, as you've been hearing the death of a prominent critic who died in police custody. these are by not died on thursday hours after being arrested and beaten by palestinian security officers. and that lead to protests right across the occupied west bank. a special committee formed by the palestinian authority to investigate his death issued a report which has been rejected by his family. they're demanding and impartial and

international investigation. police in western canada are reporting an increase in sudden death, softer a record breaking heat wave, and parts of north america. dozens of people have died in the vancouver area alone since friday. most of them were elderly. the temperature has sort to nearly 50 degrees celsius and all time record finsen monahan reports even in summer, canada isn't used to this kind of heat. people are doing whatever they can to stay cool. some flop the beaches. others are stalking up on bottled water. in british columbia, less than 40 percent of homes, of air conditioning, and demand for new units has skyrocketed. many in the region have never experienced anything like it. we do get heat from time to time every summer. summer's have been getting hotter. but, you know, it's never this body, we've never experienced anything in the forty's and vancouver,

dozens of people have died suddenly in the past few days, deaths that are being blamed on the heat wave of the schools, universities, and vaccination centers across the region are closed. the scorching temperatures are being linked to a so called heat were high pressure zones trap. the heat we're seeing happening with the atmosphere is very unusual pattern where there's been intense, high pressure cut off from the global circulation pattern. high pressure lead to sinking air and thinking air warms up. we have this feature that's been cut off from the the circulation for a few days. that's the recipe for the dangerously high temperatures. regional leaders are going connection between the unprecedented temperatures and the threat of climate change. in this instance, i think the, the big lesson coming out of the past number of days is that the climate crisis is not a fiction. that is absolutely real. and if you look, i had a briefing from the wildfire service yesterday and again today the entire west

coast of north america from baja to alaska is red, hot and awaiting what could be another catastrophic fire season. just ahead of us as lightning starts to come into the equations authorities in canada and the u. s. are urging people to stay indoors, drink water, and check in on vulnerable friends and relative. the heat is expected to continue throughout the week, and more records could be broken in the coming days. bins and martin al jazeera, we'll stuff in as a climate change expert of the austrian national university. he said, the magnitude of the temperature increase has caught everyone by surprise. normally, this time, the temperatures would be in the mid to upper twenties. in places like then cooper and a really hot day might be 35. but these temperatures are in the mid forties and pushing 50 degrees. so the extraordinary increase in tension, which i think is quite everyone by surprise. there have been high pressure domes in

the past. these do occur reasonably often, but the rate and size of the temperature increases just extraordinary. we're also talking about flight risk and we're talking about wild animals as well as domesticated animals, not the course nate. they also suffer from the they certainly suffer one large areas of forest burn. well and certainly sounds like they're on the verge of another really disastrous fire season up and down the west coast of north america. but this time, normally those who are centered in california may be southern oregon. this time, due to the extreme, me all the way up into british columbia means that there are many more for said or vulnerable to find this year than there have been in the past. the u. s. as it will contribute, a $120000000.00 in grants to funds to don debt relief from the international monetary funds. on tuesday, the i m f approved a 2 and a half $1000000000.00 loan for cartoon. washington has held it as a historic moment for us to don and its people. the government has in pushing for
