military hospital. in kabul, leaders at the cop 26 climate summers agreed to empty for a station by 2030, and cut down on one of the most potent screen house gases. we're committed to collectively reduce our methane right, 30 percent by 2030. and i think we could probably go beyond that and technology firm yahoo analysis. it's pulling out of china, saying, appraising there has become too challenging ah, where we begin with breaking news out of ethiopia, where the central government has declared a nationwide state of emergency earlier rebels from the te grove, people's liberation front said they'd taken control of 2 towns along a highway that runs from the north to the capital at a sub over. but the government disputes that spots prime minister abbey, am,

it has asked all ethiopians to mobilize to fights the u. s. envoy for the horn of africa. geoffrey feltman has denounced the rebels for moving towards the capital, describing the expansion of the war as unacceptable. we have consistently condemned the t p l. f. expansion of the war upside to grow, and we continue to call him the t p l f to withdraw from afar, and hara. that expansion of the war however, is as predictable as it is unacceptable. given that the ethiopian government began cutting off humanitarian relief and commercial access to 2 great in june, which continues to this day despite horrifying conditions of reporting widespread famine and near famine conditions that have shocked the world over a lifetime of a shortly 1st though, a reminder of the key events in this conflict, it began in northern region last november when prime minister smith ordered and

military offences against the t drive people's liberation front. he said it was in response to a tax on army basis. c p a says it was unfairly targeted later that mon savvy, told parliament the military operation in t grove was over. but in june this year to grow and finally captured the regional capital mckelly by july the t p left and search the neighboring. i'm horror and for regions to the south. in october, the government launched a great defensive to to show the rebels and see mentions tpl. i've says that in the past few days, it sees 2 times on the road that connects mckelly with addis ababa william davidson as a senior analyst at international crisis group. he says the rebels have made quick gains in a short amount of time. i would say that there is still a certain amount of resistance in the city and also about your area.

but it does seem that following the pattern of since july that we have seen a significant gain by the 2 great forces. and i think that they are predominately in control of those notation, but there is still resistance. they also say that they have pushed east from culture. and that would be with the objective of essentially controlling the tribute the trade corridor as well. that's what's great for to say that because a landlocked country. so that route is the access to the 4th. it is that for absolute, vital for the national economy and also the, the trade route for the, for therefore the trade route for the capital to stop about. so it is a way to, to pay for the able to control that cars or they can put increased pressure on the federal government by cut, by restricting the flow of trade. also, there is the potential for creating a humanitarian card or to,

to take supplies from debussy, directly to, to gray, bypassed the federal government and therefore providing humanitarian much needed humanitarian liberty to take what it, what we're seeing is this. so the spectacular resurgence of the 2 great forces fortunes 1st off this year, allowing them to push out so to military from most to grand june. and then when they launched expensive, they got some quick gains and then then some seems to her bill since then. banking group has more on the growing rebels advances. there is a new frontier in ethiopia, swore, rebels, antique. i see. they advancing further, south, inching closer to the capitol, addis ababa in just a few days. the rebels from the northern te gray state, say they have seized the town. so does say an come bolger, which are in the neighboring i'm her estate. the 2 are on

a major highway leading to the capitol. the federal government has disputed those claims. we have this feature on figure is broken well to make sure that our children are not dying from anger and starvation. we have to make sure that the access to manufacturers to buy out, even though we'll do what it takes to make sure that this is broken. if flood is marked in flooded it while it takes to break the thing we will prime minister arby amad has asked all this europeans to organize and fight back in the for 1000 all. there are many challenges, but i can tell you with certainty, without a doubt we will score a comprehensive victory in the last 15 days when t p o left was crying about being attacked, i was overwhelmed with pressure from the world phone calls. now that they are advancing, it is seen as normal and no one is callings to go. food in the u. s. has been calling for a ceasefire. secretary of state antony blinking. tweeted saying the u. s. is alarmed over the t p. a less takeover of the towns and to say,

and come bolger. and his alleged both sides to stop fighting. but del concerns that violence could escalate. what did grand rebels joining forces with the oral more liberation army, and armed group in the region surrounding the capital of this, there is a new marriage of convenience alliance between at least a fraction of the or on liberation front and the, the alaska. because the abby has managed to alienate the all mo, the routing some harass. so he is really increasing the isolated and that he'd be a lot who's trying to take advantage of that situation as well as the oil light. and it's found lease like these. what being the highest price for the shifting back line. so if, if he appeal swore that straw dawn for nearly a year more than 2 and a half 1000000 people have been forced to leave their homes. and around $400000.00,

on the brink of famine. bianca cooper altogether alive? noisy journalist samuel gets su in addis ababa. the summit. one more to be know at the stage about the state of emergency we have. we know very little. the government has been given us the specifics, but if we're going to be reading from past experiences, the state of emergency is going to be much like what the war major stock was in canada, and the 1970, where every rights is given to the states where they can restrict the movement cur, few satellites, restrict the media. and it's going to be heading to the way, but the children government. and that it's going to be in the interest of the children to protect them from any harm. the g, p. f, which they have been made that at the very organization might commit while they moved to the capital predicted. some of this is

a particularly alarming development. the prime minister is almost fast residents to take up arms to c p l f, and are joining forces with the room liberation funds. i mean, how bad can this get? well, you know, the oil lives, the more liberation front split and the leadership part of the leadership isn't one of the leaders, the minister and the government of prime minister. but significance, you know, you know, milestone for the key to even agreed to sit on. because for the last 27 years under the t p and the government, the oil left port or the t p are left and i choose demo, all kinds of violations and to see them be united and find the common enemy by itself as a big minds are concerned, would you say the government is right now?

is samuel, i mean 2 times being taken by the t p less own routes to the capital, they must be pretty alarmed. well, you know, to even come out and say, tell your friends the public to take up arms and defend the interest for a nation that's important. one cup diplomacy, cup, substitute in the world which holds a slew of embassies and investments from me. i mean, all the important nations in the world is by quiet shocking. they seem to be concerned, the prime minister spoke to his ministers, saying, highlighting what the level might do. and what's the government in, you know, potentially is able to do. but they seem to be shocked, and this seemed to show call of us with what developing from, from a distance in depth in composure and going forward. ok,

samuel gets issue. they're joining us lie from just of above. we appreciate it. thank you from you that he large explosions has gone off near a military hospital and carnival before rooms gone far. at least 19 people are confront, dead, and other 50 have been injured. that's been the claim of responsibility for the attack so far. but the taliban is blaming isis. linked fighters. charlotte bellis has more from campbell. the 1st explosion went off just before 1 pm local time. outside donald han, a military hospital, just a few 100 meters behind us. and if you 100 meters from our offices, we understand it would help you tech his game entry to the compound and then it was a 2nd explosion. about 20 minutes later we understand that from a suicide bomber. and then there has been for read it gunfire throughout the afternoon. we understand for witnesses that gum and we're going room to room inside the hospital. the telephone say that they responded by sending the special forces

into the hospital to try to stop the attack. they've also had helicopter, circling about the area using african air force helicopters, winston africa, april pilots, and actually flying pilots from the previous government folded into the telethon to help like in terms of injuries. most people looking for another hospital. one was a hahn in a separate hospital that specifically treat trauma victims off the hex like this. now this is not the 1st time that this hospital has been attacked twice in the last decade. the 1st and 20 live in by the taliban actually themselves. and then the 2nd 2017 by iceland. quite a similar style attack. i feel is proven to be one of the biggest problems for the taliban in terms of security across the country. since i've taken over the ice will, is conducted for quite severe attacks. one at the, at the airport as evacuations were taking place and that was one of the worst

attacks that cobble has seen in many years. and then other attacks that haven't been moved across the country, much more is still to come here and al jazeera palestinian families living in spite east jerusalem projects an offer that recognizes jewish settlers as owners of their mans. and a new era for the u. s. city of boston, who forces the 1st time are choosing between 2 women. was there next mayor? ah, ah, look forward to brighter skies. the weather sponsored my cattle airways. hello, the weather's law, as he sat fair for northern parts of china at the moment, we have got some wet weather, just pulling away from met japan. having said that, sir, little area of low pressure, not too far away. john is fighting dry because we have high pressure in chart here . it means light winds. it means largely clear skies. it also me some mission fog

think we could probably go beyond that. we just announced this package of the general assembly. ah, and back in september at the time was mentioned, 9 country shed signed on to day. it's over 8. it's approaching a 100 countries that are signed in on. if we want to keep the paris gold of 1.5 degrees in sight and support communities in the front line of climate change, we must protect and restore the world's forests. and i believe we can do it as we saw in this declaration today. let's also galvanized a radical shift in public and private finance. let's channel funds towards securing the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities and shift trillions towards supporting sustainable jobs. while leader is a celebrating progress at those talks,

the effects of climate change are becoming ever more devastating. like chances, once the world 6th largest and land walkability in the past 60 years, it's shrunk very 90 percent of many chase is that once a busy navigation channel full light fishing vessels, this portion of the lake chart is now a crossing point for cattle. decades of poor water usage, celts, droughts on the impact of climate change continue to alter the face of the lake and with it the lives of millions who depend on it. this family is forced to my great because of drought. not far from here. we met to fisherman pulling in his catch of the day. he says it's the most he got in a week. a few my curls. not enough to feed his family. the lad hood, we used to catch a lot of fish in pastures with little effort, but it's so much more difficult. now i'm lucky to have even caught this much. he

the reopening of the pedestrian border between columbia and venezuela has brought some relief to the thousands of venezuelans across every day for essentials. but the lack of diplomatic relations between the countries as worsens and already volatile security situation at the border. alessandra, i'm here to reports from caputo on the columbian side. philip doris and his family fled their mother's farm in the rural area of the border city of cuckoo. the 4 months ago, when a group of 100 armed men set camped there, after felipe asked him to leave, he says he received threats and then was shot 4 times. i'm not going to be more than happy that other than are just asked him to move away from the house, not the entire farm or the area. because as i told them, if you are here, it's because the army allows you to buy with them. well, but instead, one of theirs was killed in they came after me. thousands of columbia farmers were

displaced from the north eastern countryside surrounding cuckoo their last year as a paramilitary group entered the area. fighting with communist e. l. n rebels. they're battling for control of cocaine production and the contraband routes along the border with venezuela ultimately will make their measures during the last 20 months. 22 community leaders have been killed and north of founder region. in the last 45 days, 20 leaders, 14 of them, women have been displaced. this is a true humana, terry, and disaster in the past, the city of colquitt, i was mostly spared the worst of the conflict that affected remote parts of this region. the things have changed, but we'll get on the other locus in june, a car bomb exploded in the cities military base, injuring 36 people. a week later gunfire hit early quarter carrying colombian president, even duke, as it took off at the beginning of october,

president do canal the deployment of a new military unit of 14000 soldiers to address the situation. but 3 weeks after the announcement, local say nothing has changed in their communities. we repeatedly asked the new units commander for an interview, but so far they fed, they have nothing new to add. lauins actually destined as one local official say increasing troops on the ground alone will not solve a situation that requires real alternatives for poor coca farmers. and that the lack of diplomatic relations between colombian, venezuela, facilitated the expansion of criminal groups to the city. like the now me god, the most would be most anya's in the, from the record border dynamic of the last few years with closers and the lack of communication between the states. as facilitated, the group is criminal activities, offering them the best possible environment for their routes. is thor cycles? it would allow me horror and an explosive cocktail, the leaf people like philippe,

wondering if they will ever be able to get their life back. i listened that i'm betty al jazeera cook with the the white house is welcome to private mission. to me and mar, by a former us ambassador to the u. n. washington isn't sponsoring bill richardson's trip, but says that hope says efforts will help get aid supplies in st. myanmar the year and says the need for ease has increased dramatically achieved the current of ours pandemic, and february's military coup tech company. yahoo says it's pulling out of china because of what it calls an increasingly challenging environments. the move as large a symbolic as many of he or his services are already blocked by china's digital censorship. but it's the latest tech firm to exit google left years ago. and microsoft linked in said last month at which shot. so it's chinese size. and fisher has war from washington, d. c. for some people would say this is more symbolic,

but it is quite significant as well. yeah. who has essentially been running donuts platforms in china since 2013. if you go back to 2005, they created a partnership with ali baba. and at that point yahoo started to be phased out. but because of the change in the law, on the 1st of november, yahoo decided that the environment there was simply too difficult to operate any more. and so about 2 weeks ago, user started to see a message saying that from the ve, amber, the 1st, all of these platforms, all of these yahoo sites will simply disappear as you see. they're not the 1st to do that. in fact, linked in just a couple of weeks ago decided that they were done with china as well. this is a pretty big decision when you think that there are 1000000000 users on the internet and mainland china. so that's a big market. that essentially you're putting on your coat and walking away from, but linkedin like yahoo have said it's simply becoming much too difficult to

operate in china because of the business and the legal environment there as well. and that's beginning to spook investors. a lot of americans who are invested in tech shares in china, they are seeing what these big names are doing. and they're beginning to reconsider the position. in fact, a number of investors have started to pull their money out of take stocks in china . and that has led to significant dip in the market. the worry for the chinese authorities in the chinese business community will be that there will be more to follow yahoo. and certainly investors will be keeping a close eye on what happens over the next few days. as truly as prime minister has pushed back at emmanuel and their crew after the french president accused him of lying about a submarine deal, australia scraps, the multi $1000000000.00 agreements in favor of american nuclear parents. submarines. scott morrison described macros, accusations as an insult. one,

and like higher up congress to support the a more open mind when it comes to policy making. and i know this city known as the birthplace of the american revolution hasn't elected a republican to run it in almost 100 years. and it's never elected a woman or a person of color, no matter which candidate wins the mayor's race marks an historic 1st for boston. but it also represents divisions in the democratic party, both here and nationwide. the city has a long history of racial tension and one quarter of its population is african american. there were 3 black candidates on the primary ballot, but none made it into tuesdays run off a fact that's led to recriminations among some boston democrats. over the course of this campaign, i've a few promises that i'm able to keep this work is too important to simply do.

behind a podium ac city hall, it has to be done in community who has the support of sen, elizabeth warren, and others from the most liberal wing of the party. but she's also caught the attention of some special interest groups who've been spending money to defeat her, of her victory would be interpreted as part of that, that movement. and the question is, is whether these traditional interests are going to fight back against what they bright, perceive as a to progressive agenda on things like climate and transportation and development, et cetera. still, democrats can't lose and erase that shows how dramatically the city has changed. kristin salumi al jazeera boston. ah, this is al jazeera, these are the headlines. ethiopia has declared a nationwide state of emergency. earlier, the prime minister had asked all ether pins to mobilize to find rebels in te grey.
