a significant cubic 19 resurgence plus multiple floods this year have dumped an immeasurable amount of earth and mud and sand and fill in rocks and large boulders in valleys all across this area. we are in the pal where the changing climate is being blamed for a series of devastating natural disasters. ah, again, as president is calling for east african leaders to meet and discuss the worst and conflict in ethiopia, while the u. s. embassy and addis ababa is allowing some of its staff and their families to leave. the ethiopian government has declared a state of emergency as to grind rebels claim to have made advances towards the capital. the european union is among those now calling for an immediate cease fire . his plan could group top. it's not the 1st call to arms spine puking leader. but

this time, it's against an enemy within a person prime. mister abbey amad, use the 1st anniversary of the conflict antique white, to call on his citizens to fight and defeat the tiguan rebels. the premises captain, until ethiopia is free and peaceful. this is the time every citizen has to say. i am an ethiopian soldier, to condemn this mischievous plan while standing next to the ethiopian national defense forces to humiliate the enemy. late last year, if he appeared national army with a strength in numbers and significant epa pushed the t grind rebels into retreat. but since july, the rebels had been making you gains, expanding the bottle from inside t gray into neighboring amera. i'm off i regions. they have now entered an unlikely aligns with the oral more liberation army, a band on splinter group from romeo region home to few p as largest ethnic group.

wendy federal military had to withdraw from to gray and june after suffering significant battlefield losses. and that really does seem to have depleted the federal monitoring and they've been on recruitment campaigns since earned, including and listing these the original horses and militia. but ultimately, that means sending quite roar and new recruits into battle. and that seems to have contributed to the fairly consistent gains by the to great forces through east, and i'm hora. the rebels are threatening to new, farther south, towards addis ababa after couching to strategic towns on a major highway linking the more than take why? region with the capital where the teacher and leadership is highly unpopular, better through our soldiers are not fighting alone. we should know that for sure, our forces will never surrender despite all that you might see on social media on satellite tv. we don't need to heed the advice of foreigners about how to deal with

this conflict. this is our rule against those who attempt to enslaved us. i believe the u. s. has been calling for immediate negotiations with our preconditions to end the conflict. it's allowing voluntary departure of some of its staff and their family members in the capitol because of escalating violence. washington has sent its special envoy for the horn of africa disappear and they're all to regional efforts to deescalate the gotten precedent has called a meeting of the east african block to discuss the crisis. for no addis ababa remains on edge as neither side shows any sign of backing down bianca gupta, al jazeera. joining us now again, the independent journalist, samuel gaucho in addis ababa, samuel, this call for regional governments to get involved to start some sort of process. how do we think it might play out where the intention is to have it and ah,

soon than later because it keeps producing millions of victims. so far we have an estimated 2000000 people that have been displaced and many people lot are in need of support. the un says as estimating close to 1000000 people, integral loan are facing, suck some kind of famine. so this conflict of begun a year ago is still producing victims, and that's why that it's, it's an urgent call to see it come to a sudden end ethiopia, neighbors talking to each other is one thing talking to the t p. a laugh is quite another, is that part of the plan? as far as we know? well, to begin with, the tpr left has been designated as a terrorist organization by the 3 open government. so it would be really hard for anyone to consult with them at the moment. just imagine having a sit down with a terrorist organization. so that is by itself as an issue that needs to be dealt

with. if there is an interest from more sites to have some kind of compromise and see and see this conflict come to an end. because once again, it's producing a big stems, not just him to guy, but in our far and i'm her regents us us. we've seen from afar. samuel, thank you very much, samuel gets her the in addis ababa after months on hold talks to revive the 2015 iran nuclear deal had been scheduled for the end of this month. negotiations between the secretaries in vienna stalled in june the u. s is welcomed, the return to talks and says it expects them to pick up where they left off. the original agreement was signed in 2015. it was designed to limit to iran's nuclear ambitions in exchange for sanctions relief. but in may of 2018. the then president donald trump withdrew the u. s. and began re imposing sanctions. in november of last year. the i. e. a reported to ron stockpile of enriched uranium,

had reached 12 times the permitted levels. in april indirect talks began in vienna to bring the u. s. and iran back into compliance with the j. c. p. o. 8. the next day iran began enriching uranium up to 60 percent. 6 round of talks were held in vienna. they concluded jude to allow for president abraham bracy to form a new government. speaking area, iran president outlined his demand for us sanctions to be lifted as part of a possible return to the deal. m rose nagondo. let them have them in our family left here. today, our government looks to protect the interest of the nation. we try to preserve the rights of the people in any situation to us talk should be result oriented. should bear results that include the reduction of hardships for dear people. as we have said before, we didn't leave and won't be the negotiating table, but will resist excessive demand and stand in the face of the arrogant countries ignore the rights of the iranian people. we will resist the violations of

international agreements. the rainy nation showed resistance over the past 40 years . let's get the view from washington. our white house correspondent, kimberly how kit is there for us this hour. so some up for the, the us thinking of a strategy, a kimberly. hello, the united states, going into these talks very much feeling that there is something that can be accomplished. and that is that there can be a return to the 2015 agreement to limit arise nuclear program. and that if there is sort of this mutual compliance, then each side will be meeting their stated goal. so in terms of trying to achieve that, what we know is that the united states is going to make very clear that the window of opportunity for these talks is not infinite. now other words, there is a strict timeline here, and what the united states says it will also convey is that there is no tolerance for any sort of provocations on the part of the iranians. what they're saying is

they don't want to provide any sort of opportunity for what they call a blue print for pushing the envelope. so to that end, the united states has been working with it's european partners. we know in the last week for example, at the g 20 in rome. 4 they met on the sidelines to compare notes on the status of iran and the iranian program as well. the strategy really moving forward is for the united states to work with their partners and to really speak with a unified voice. i'm with tensions rising over recent weeks between the us and the rom is the concern, the about any potential impacts caused by that on the discussions at the end of the month? absolutely, i mean, just in the last week or so, we certainly had the reports of an incident and sort of dispute over the account. ah, you know, iran alleging that the united states attempted to detain why

a tanker in the region. the united states is disputing that account, i think what this most recent incident seems to signal is just how fragile things are right now and how each side is sort of preparing and tried to go in strong and use some sort of leverage to their advantage. and so the united states as address that had on the biden administration feeling very much that sort of any escalation, as they alleged, has occurred, a in recent weeks is not going to provide the leverage that iran thinks it might err when these talks resume on november. 29th. so at the message for the united states, the strategy and also the sort of the, the tactics will be to be very clear. but also to make sure that u. s. national interests as well as the international community, are really red here to and really put forward as they resume these discussions. kimberly, thank you very much. kimberly help there. our white house correspondent europe is

once again the epicenter of the cubic 19 pandemic. that's the assessment today from the will health organization which says recorded infections are higher than those in asia and africa combined. hospitalization, admission rates do, took over 19 more than doubled in one week based on w. she'll europe's latest data, according to one, the label projection. if we stay on this trajectory, we could see another half a 1000000. gov at 19 bits in europe and central asia by the 1st of february, next year. and 40 city countries in over region will face high 2 extremes, threats on hospital bits. at some point through the same period, john o as more from london 78000000 new infections currently recorded across those 53 countries. that number is higher than the cumulative total

of southeast asia, east mediterranean, the western pacific, and the whole of africa. and those numbers mr. clue pointed out a going up by around a quarter of a 1000000 infections every single day and 3600 deaths being recorded every single day and half a 1000000 potentially by february. that's just 4 months from now. why is this happening? well, the w h o pointed to potential causal factors. the 1st he said was the relaxation of public health and social measures. you can take the u. k. as an example of that were mandatory precautions were lifted in july, much of the population here going about their lives as if the threat has largely passed. and secondly, he said insufficient vaccination coverage. now broadly, that's about 2 things. that's about people who had their vaccination 6 months or more ago finding that their immunization, that protection is now waning. and also the problem of vaccine hesitancy in some

countries. russia is a particular example here with high levels of misinformation on social media and distrust of locally produced vaccines. rush of the worst country on the list, recording over a 1000 deaths every single day. more on the pandemic. shortly, details are released about us bank seen mandates, including when they'll start and how much companies could be fine. also ahead, you're not alone the message to taiwan that's causing a stir in china. ah hello, they're welcome to look at the international forecasts. we have something of a change of the weather taking place over much of china over the next day or so. the moments it sloshy try and quiet some missed and fog and some frost to watch out for. he comes at change. central air is seeing some very heavy right where to where

the pushing over to was at eastern side of china. and then as we go on into saturday, looking at snow, approaching beijing out of that, there is some warmth around, find a drive for the korean peninsula and also for good part of japan. wanted to shout coming instantly, parts of japan could see some wet weather through the weekend. and if you go through the weekend, like you look at what happens to beijing to 13 celsius here on saturday as we go on into sunday, temperatures go wash. some very heavy rang turning to snow as we go on through sunday, a top temperature then of 83 degrees celsius. so i suspect you'll notice that one of your showers may while across se asia, some lobby showers there into the philippines, southern parts of indo, china usual splattering of showers there, across malaysia and on into indonesia. some very heavy re me while across southern parts of in the us and big downpours coming through here for a scenario of the country and little circulation in the arabian sea. turning

a wet to the west, ah, killing the debate, 90 percent of the world's refugees have come from of climate impacted countries. in the climate, the emergency is putting more pressure on cities across the world and amplify your voice. it's not really the future, it's now not a lock can simply cannot lose hope. we know what to do and we have the tools to do get all this on out. is the era lou? ah,

just after course, posterior watching al jazeera alive from doha. i'm peach adobe. your top stories. international alarm over what's going on in ethiopia is growing. the e. u has called for an immediate cease fire. and the u. s. embassy is allowing some staff and their families to leave you. candice president school for regional leaders to address the crisis. talks to revive the 2015 round nuclear deal, a shuttle to resume the end of november in direct negotiations between all secretaries and vienna store. last june. after abraham racy won the presidential election and europe is once again the epicenter of the global pandemic. that's the assessment today from the world health organization, which says recorded infections a higher there than those in asia and africa combined. now the biden administration today announced the deadline for its curve at 19 vaccination mandate and heavy fines. as of january. the 4th companies with $100.00 or more employees will be required to ensure staff are either vaccinated or tested every week. firms found to

be in violation of the mandate could be fined almost $14000.00 life. now to capitol hill and our correspondent alan fisher. so alan, is this the administration playing hardball? here it is. we've just heard from patty muddy, who's leader of the senate health committee here saying that mandates work. and certainly that's the view of the by the administration. that's why essentially they're giving companies 2 months to put these measures in place. we knew they were coming every one year they were coming. now we have a date and now we have some details. so from the 4th of january, companies with 100 employees or more must have their employees vaccinated if they are not, than the employees have to produce a negative test once a week. and interestingly enough, in the mandate, it says the employers don't have to pay for this test. so those tests will come out the pocket of anyone who isn't vaccinated. and if you aren't vaccinated, then they are saying that you must wear a mask in the office. that is absolutely important. as your health care worker,

there is no leeway you have to be vaccinated. there is norse testing, you've just simply got to be vaccinated. and the same applies to federal workers. will they be legal challenges to this? almost certainly we're hearing from attorneys general across the country who are saying that they are going to challenge this. they think that the biden administration has gone too far, that this is not a workplace illness. therefore, they can't use this legislation to push this through the by did ministration, though are seeing the believe they're on very solid legal grounds and don't have a problem with pushing this forward. how much longer do you think those hearings will go on allen? i mean, how strong will the pushback be because the, the anti mask, anti vax lobby in the states. it does occasionally still seem to be quite loud. what is interesting of course, is that it's patty money was just seeing that vaccinations and mandates work because the talk uber, united airlines is that everyone has to be vaccinated. 99 percent of employees did

certainly a few 100 didn't, and they have no lost their job tysons foods. one of the big food manufacturers in the united states also put in a mandate. 96 percent of employees decided that they would rather be vaccinated than lose their job. the attorney general, the attorneys general, are saying that this means that people won't go into what and it makes the job market tighter. that's not the argument from the bi demonstration. as for these hearings, or this one is about looking forward, not looking back, but of course there are going to be those on the committee who are still going to address the lakes of anti photo, who's become a bit of a heat figure on the right. and say, hold on a 2nd, remember a year ago, you said x, then why happen? so you were wrong. so why should we listen to? you know, that sort of thing is going to happen. but certainly, the senate and other bodies across the united states are aware that they've got to make plans for going forward from this point. but also, as patty murray said, an opening statement just a few moments ago, they've got to prepare for the next public health pandemic. essentially, america can't be caught with his trousers don't the way it was when covert 19

started to grip the country. alan, thank you very much. alan fish are there on capitol hill. politicians from the european parliament of til taiwan leaders. you are not alone. a delegation made the 1st visit of its kind to the island meeting president, sighing. when in taipei, tensions are already running high with china, which claims taiwan as part of its territory. we came here with a very simple, very feel message. you are a long euro, you standing with you. value is a defense of freedom. and the defense of world rule, and you man, game here with the delegation with values political rule. we are very foam around it between us. but we are all here united industry, both in democracy. and we came here to stop the agenda of mirth in your relation. it is time for the union to step up it corporation

with well, in response to the visits the chinese foreign ministry spokesman, wine, wine been warned that europe shouldn't be sending the wrong signals to what he called taiwan set processed. he also said the european side should correct it's mistake lebanon's prime ministers facing pressure to sac his information minister for causing a dispute with saudi arabia. george co darling made comments about the war in yemen . that angered several gulf states xena houghton out from beirut. this conference was about promoting tourism in a nearly bankrupt country, but instead lebanese prime minister, in se, because he had to address a crisis threatening his 2 months old governments, saudi arabia, and some arab called countries have severed ties with lebanon for what they see as an increasing dominance of the hezbollah armed group. and then as he moved,

we are determined to restore ties with saudi arabia and gulf states. i'm repeating my cost for the information minister to listen to his conscience had put circumstances into consideration and take the dance he should take. this is the priority of the solution to get out of the crisis. yes, he and he had to have a look the, the, the, the latest dispute was triggered by the comments of information minister george corda, hey, who called the human war, a saudi aggression. it's a difficult balancing act for a prime minister who wants to restore ties with the countries traditional economic and political partners, but whose cabinet is controlled by hezbollah and its allies. they have publicly back the minister who has reiterated his refusal to resign and also need to gain the consensus agreement of has a lot to she political parties as well as the matter the, the, the party of the minister back paid us not to resign as well. if i had a zine,

the diplomatic dispute is aggravating divisions and 11 on which is among the battlefield, where event and saudi arabia geopolitical, tug of war, is played out and look at them and help them. and then he, at liberty's governments most over akin frank apology. to saudi arabia and the gulf states as total real damage to just controversial issues that includes ending his beloved military intervention in yemen. saudi arabia has long accused, his beloved helping the iraqi back to to rebels in yemen, a charge the group denies. saudi arabia is pressuring lebanon to take a harsher line on has the law. but the lebanese foreign minister has said that kingdom is forcing impossible terms on the government has bala, he says, is a component of lebanese politics. and this wing has a regional dimension which can't be resolved by the authorities here already cabinet has been deadlocked for weeks after

a dispute about the judge investigating last year's blast at the report. and now, without support from gulf nations, it will be hard to secure much needed international aid to stop its economic collapse that there elisha zita, beirut, the international criminal court is formerly investigating allegations of crimes against humanity in venezuela. the chief prosecutor carrion con, made the announcement at the end of a trip to correct where he met president nicholas madura. the security forces are accused of torture and extra judicial killings. under my daughter's rule, several shops have been destroyed by a fire and the largest market in paraguay capital, dozens of firefighters were brought in to bring the fire of cynthia and central market. under control. local officials say it was caused by an electrical short circuits. no deaths have been reported, but business owners say they have suffered severe losses. the u. k says, the end of coal is insights. as the cop 26 climate meet in glasgow undertakes its

energy day to day. britain's government says it's secure to coalition of dozens of countries pledging clear commitments to face at coal power. but the 3 biggest consumers of co india, china and the u. s. of not signed up. and today, i think we can say that the end of co is in sight. the progress we've seen over the past 2 years would have seemed like a lofty ambition when we took on the court presidency back in 2019 who to thought back then that to day we're able to say that we are choking off international co financing. all that we would see a shift away from domestic co power. the power has been battered by catastrophic natural disasters in recent months, including monsoon range that left hundreds of people, dead. experts, a climate change may be making those weather events more extreme zane bus robbie has more now from milan. she in the pals syndrome called chalk district. and i

don't want it in one of the poorest and most polluted countries in the world. everyone is saying the same thing. climate disasters with intensity that has never been seen before, are piling up faster than ever. nipples cascade of crises began in february with country wide forest fires that blackened the skies. mountain glaciers began melting faster, meaning more run off. then came intense rains and floods in june, august, and october. now from all that water, a higher rate of landslides, blocking mountain passes faster than road crews, can clear them throughout it all. ongoing manmade soil erosion to meet the demand for building materials. climate scientists worn conditions are worsening across the himalayan region and are unprecedented. most of these events that we've, we've just explained, are very much at liberty, will do what,

what we see is given by climate change. and so more such events are likely to be experienced, especially in the mountains, toppled and buried buildings dot the himalayan foothills. ominous reminders of what happened here. multiple floods this year have dumped in immeasurable amount of earth and mud, and sand, and silt and rocks in large boulders in valleys all across this area. and just to give you a sense of how deep this debris field is, where i'm standing right now, i'm standing on the roof of what's left of someone's home. in the town of milan, she questions of public safety still hanging in the air. and on one of the course until she took alone to build this now partially destroyed like block of shops, she says it would have been better if the water had just washed the whole thing away. she still paying it off, but now has to take another load. just a habit torn down, the deposit them nobody another be new. so you know,

the government gives his money. it's not possible to come back and stay here. we're scared of the river and there's no guarantee the same thing wouldn't happen next year. it's all about nature and what can we do against nature? nepalese carbon footprint is relatively small, but it sits between giants, china and india, 2 of the world's biggest polluters. it's topography also makes it more vulnerable to overall shift in global weather. nepalese in rural communities are frustrated and say, what's happening to them is not their fault. that it concerns everyone. and countries like nepal should not be left alone to put out fires being fueled on a global scale is in basra, b o. d 0 them alum to river in nepal. millions of people across india are preparing to celebrate to wally. big numbers are expected for the festival of lights that she and i could with 19 infections all more under control, half named natal reports from new delhi. it's the most widely celebrated festival

in india and also the biggest shopping season. hundreds of devali shoppers had strong markets like this one in new delhi over the last few days within just call the 19 caseload dropping to its lowest level in my of the of, of man. most of the population at least partially vaccinated. denali festivities have been on, in full swing, businesses are all to come to not shopping to recover from the huge, nothing they suffered during the lockdown earlier this year. logged on to give us if you, to this and this year is no better than the previous one. when we were in lockdown last year was still better than the seo. there's hardly any rope this season too. i don't know that i should say to nobody. it's a hypocrisy because on the one hand, they say get, keep social media distancing. but the other hand beyond, you know, they have the, actually, they don't maintain anything, any dick would em any social distance thing. so what's the point of a sending of these rules? i don't understand, they've only also marked the onset of phoenician season,

especially in new delhi and parts of northern india to stem this. many states are only allowing people to boss what they call green crackers. because unless you do, denny, which is one of the most polluted cities in the world, has banned all fire crackers and impulse a hefty fines on violators. daily's equality this week did dip do one if it's was levels the season, and the med department predicts that air pollution levels will remain high of the next few days. ah, exactly half past the hour, you're watching ultra sierra. you headlines. international alarm over the conflict in ethiopia is growing. the e u has called for an immediate cease fire, and the u. s. embassy is allowing some staff and their families to leave uganda as president is called for regional leaders to address the crisis talks to revive the 2015 iran nuclear deal, a shuttle to resume at the end of the.
