w h o says the huge rise in cobra, cases across europe should serve as a warning shot to other regions. and the trial of the killing of amount every goes ahead in georgia, despite protests over it's almost all white jury. ah . you don't. military leader has ordered the release of 4 civilian cabinet ministers detained in a military takeover last month. according to state media, hundreds of people continue to protest in khartoum against the takeover and dissolution of the ruling civilian transitional council general fitzgerald hahn. i spoke with you an invoice you don about a potential agreement, including the return of asked, had prime minister abdullah handbook reportedly discussed the release of more detainees, a technocratic cabinet, and the possibility of listing the state of emergency going up to him,

morgan in khartoum in naples, more about the releases the 4 ministers who were relieved the r just some of the few civilian political leaders who have been arrested following the military takeover on october 25th. now we have the minister of information, the minister of trade, the minister of telecommunications, and the minister of youth and sports. those are the 4 ministers who have been released. those who have not been released or the ministry, the minister of industry, and the member of the sovereignty council hamlet advocate who is also the spokesperson of the dissolved sovereignty counsel. now the united nations secretary general has spoken to general abdel for him and has called them the release of all political prisoners. and also the release of prime minister under him who is still under house arrest. despite repeated mediation efforts by the un, by neighboring south for them and by national figures here in dance. so there are

some steps taken to the sum of the political prisoners, general abdel albert hon. following his military takeover said that those who are not charged or do not face any accusations, any criminal accusations will be released while they will hold onto the political prisoners who face any kind of criminal charges. so it's not clear if there will be criminal charges that will be directed against the other ministers who have been arrested as well as the member of the sovereignty council. but there has been caused by the united nations secretary general by several diplomats here in this incident as well as abroad to restore and to bring back the civilian government that was deposed on october 25th following the military takeover and to restore the freedom of all political prisoners who were arrested now efforts of a result of this diplomatic mediation that has been ongoing is yet to produce results. general abdel for the alcohol has stated that he will form a civilian transitional government made up of technocrats her not affiliated to any

political parties. let's not forget that the previous ministers came from various political parties, and he says that that, that is something that has hindered the movement, the progress of the previous transitional government. but so far, there are still many people who have been arrested, including active lawyers and act and as well as political figures who are yet to be released for ministers. are just a few of those who have been arrested for the military takeover and not clear yet if there is a timeline for the release of the remaining prisoners. and if prime minister of the lamp, the following, this step will be released from his house arrest and what a protest is, make of all is what they need. at the moment the news of the release comes just a few hours after protests took off. in part of the capital for to him here. now protest food have had different demands. but since the military takeover is one thing that they seem to have a consensus on, which is that they want the military to have less a governing role in the politics of the country. there's been demand that the

military relieve the political prisoners. and that means all of them including prime minister of the lamb dog. but they also want to see the military's role in the, in the transitional period and in governing the country reduced to just the security issues and not the day to day affairs. so processes have been demanding, not the reinstating of that government that has been dissolved only, but they also want to see the military sidelines. they want to see them having less a role in the government. and they want to see a return to the democratic process that they say was dropped from them following the military take over many protest i have called on the committees and the end they read and the residential areas. and they were resident at their neighborhoods to the, to joint civil disobedience. and general strike stay away from work and show that the military that they don't want. and the army leading them through this transition period, which is set to end in july 2023, asper general abdel for the hon. following his take over protest, i have called him for more protests for general strikes and for people to show the

military in any way they can, that they don't want to be ruled by the military. and they want a return to democrat, the process that was dropped from them following the military coup in late october, even more than thank you very much indeed. ah, urgent new efforts are underway to calm the escalating war in ethiopia, african nations, and the european union of called for an immediate cease fire. and the year special envoy for the horn of africa is in addis ababa for talks. if yoke is government is declared, a state of emergency as to grind rebels claimed, have made advances towards the capital. after a year of war, the rebels have pushed from degree into the neighboring regions of am horror, and afar and down the highway running south try to supper. to grind for to say they've taken control of the towns of dessie. can me say and come boucher in the past week. priyanka go to reports. it's not the 1st call to arms spine ethiopian

leader. but this time, it's against an enemy within the prime minister abbey amad use the 1st anniversary of the conflict and t gray to call on his citizens to fight and defeat the tiguan rebels, nebraska until ethiopia is free and peaceful. this is the time every citizen has to say, i am in ethiopia and soldier to condemn this mischievous plan while standing next to the ethiopian national defense forces to humiliate the enemy. late last year, if you appear national army with a strength in numbers and significant airport pushed to take line rebels into retreat. since july, the rebels had been making the gains and expanding the bottle from inside into neighboring, unheard of our region until they have now entered an unlikely alliance with the oral more liberation army. a band splinter group from romeo region,

home to p. o. p. s largest ethnic group, when the federal military had to withdraw and pick right in june after suffering significant battlefield losses not really does seem to depleted the federal military. they've been on recruitment campaign since including and lifting these regional forces and militia. but ultimately, that means sending quite roll new recruits into battle, and that seems to have contributed to the fairly consistent gain by the great forces through eastern i'm hora. the rebels are threatening to move the south towards addis ababa after capturing to strategic handler on a major highway linking the northern region with the capital where the teacher and leadership is highly unpopular mixed up. because i was 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 in slave us. the us has been calling for immediate negotiations with all 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 especially on war for the horn of africa to few pierre, and they're all to reach left to deescalate the you got president has called a meeting of the east african block to discuss the crisis. for no addis ababa remains on edge as need a side shows any sign of backing down bianca group the i'll to 0. europe has once again become the epicenter of the k with 19 pandemic. that's the assessment of the world health organization,

which says there are more infections there than in asia and africa. combined. cases are hitting record levels, especially in central and eastern europe. vaccination rates, a low journal has more while many people are out and about as if the coven 19 threat has passed, the world health organization says the wider european region is once more at the pandemic epicenter across 53 countries, including parts of central asia. there are 78000000 current infections. that's more than the cumulative total of south east asia, the eastern mediterranean, and all of africa. and it's a figure rising by a quarter of a 1000000 new infections daily with 3600 deaths every day. according to one label projection, if we stay on this trajectory, we could see another half a 1000000. gov at 19 debts in europe and central asia by the 1st of february next year. why is it happening in a region with generally good access to vaccines?

the w h o points to waning immunity among those vaccinated 6 months or more ago. and vaccine hesitancy in countries like russia, where misinformation on social media has contributed to more than a 1000 virus deaths a day. there's also the relaxation of public health measures, england, for example, where mandatory restrictions were lifted in july is now responsible for around one in 10 of all new infections worldwide. efforts to distribute booster jobs are being hampered by public apathy. yet the government is resisting calls from scientists to reintroduce precautions or risk and even more deadly winter. there is a glimmer of good news. the u. k. has become the 1st country in the world to license a new treatment for coven 19 described as potentially game changing the anti viral pill made by us pharmaceutical company. merck has been shown to have the chances of dying or being hospitalized for those most at risk of severe symptoms of the

disease. this pill interferes with the viruses replication mechanisms. and by interfering with how it reproduces, it makes it make many mistakes. and by making many mistakes, it stops it from being able to reproduce properly. and that's how it works. but new treatments alone won't be enough to slow the renewed spread of the virus across europe, among countries. some of who believed until recently that it was all over. jonah whole al jazeera across the atlantic in the u. s. companies with $100.00 or more employees will not be required to ensure their staff a vaccinated or tested weekly. the baton administration has issued a deadline of january the 4th for the mandate. companies that fail to comply will be fined about $14000.00 for each foundation. about 1100 americans on average, still dying daily from code 19. the vast majority of them on vaccinated. official

jones, we not from capitol hill. so allen, the vaccine mandate does barton phase much political pushback against it that he does. we knew this monday was coming. we just didn't know the date when o told it's january the 4th, which is exactly 2 months from today. essentially, if you've a company that employs 100 people or more everyone has to be vaccinated. if there are employees who don't want to get vaccinated while they have to produce a negative test once a week. and the company doesn't have to pay for that test or come out of whoever decides not to get vaccinated, they'll come from their pocket. and when they're at work, they will have to wear a mask at all times. it doesn't apply to a few people, doesn't apply to health workers. there are no exceptions for them. every one has to be vaccinated. if you're working in a designated health facility and federal workers as well, every one there has to be vaccinated, and that's very clear in the mandate. will there be challenges to this?

of course, as well because it's america and 2021 attorney general's across the country already saying that the government is acting outside its own laws and it's doing something that is unacceptable. well, joe biden believes that the legal drones for this mandate is absolutely rock solid . and so he's pushing ahead with it for january. the 4th. and alan had been discussing the red had clearly caleb response on capitol hill. what came out of the harry senate health committee, which has had 11 hearings on, covered another one, talking about how they get through the current crisis and how they move on from here. obviously they were talking about things like vaccinations for children. they were of course, approved just last week for those ages, 5 to 11. but the mandates also came up. there was a fleer of an exchange between ron paul, a republican senator from kentucky and antony fo 2. the 2 of them have butted heads and several hearings in the past essentially ran paul was accusing antony, vote she of not tell you the truth when it came to the funding of the woo hon lab,

which of course he believes was the center of the cove it outbreak, i thought she said that he'd got things wrong. but ron paul said that it was really time for anthony folk to resign. but on the mandates, republicans were concerned that the government was insisting on these mandates, but from pho, chin or so, rochelle were lensky whose head of the cdc, the centers for disease control. they said that with vaccinations and mandates, you saw the numbers of infections and the number of hospitalizations dropped dramatically. the cited the fact that united airlines told everyone who was there they had to be vaccinated. 99 percent take up and the number of infections way down . tysons foods, another big american food manufacturer. they also said there have to be vaccinations, 96 percent of the employees pushed through with that. so at the by the administration believes that this is a useful tool in the fight against covered, and they're determined to push ahead on fisher. thank you very much indeed. still

come this half hour today. i think we can say that the end of coal is in sight. dozens of countries commit to phase out to the coal use, but not some of the biggest consumers like india, china and the u. s. and despite fears of covenant air pollution, india sparkles within like 50 y. hello, good to see you. we've had some halloween winds across the adrian see. and we're getting striped with heavy rain as well. so this is for bosnia montenegro and it is seeping into serbia. it's knocked down temperatures, but in some of these spots will pick up about a months worth of rain in the span of a short period of time. so flooding the very real risk here. we can trace that rain

through western areas of romania, ukraine into western russia. this for the air area of low pressure sits and we've got some winds coming across the baltic sea. so i think for the baltic states, look for wind gusts of about 60 kilometers per hour. the united kingdom, france. so low countries are temperatures pretty well where they should be for this son, the year off to iberia. mostly settled though. we do have some rain for eastern areas of spain through the bali erics. but look at lisbon in the sunshine with the high of 16 degrees. plenty of sun across turkey and temperature is above average. here is stumble, 21, and we're still hanging on to some 30. so nick hosea 30 right on the nose on friday . northern africa. remember all that rain we were chatting about through the valley, eric's while it's starting to sun further toward the south. so this will impact northern areas of algeria right into tunisia. it's going to park itself there. so that rain will pile up in there is the risk of seen some flooding here soon. ah,

in the vietnam war, the us army used to talk to kind of the side with catastrophic consequences. agent orange was the most destructive incidence chemical warfare. a decade later, the same happened in the us state of oregon. these helicopters flying over the ridge brain, something they didn't even see. the 2 women are still fighting for justice against some of the most powerful forces in the world. the people versus agent orange on al jazeera. ah, o. a reminder, the top stories are allowed to 0. to dawn,

this military leader has ordered the release of for civilian cabinet ministers detained in last month to take over us. according to state media. this is hundreds, march to khartoum, protesting against military rule edge and new efforts are on the way to come, the escalating warning as to dry rebels say they're moving towards the capital. you can. this president is calling for regional leaders to meet over the crisis. and the world health organization says europe again, the, the epicenter, the pandemic, current of ours infection rate, a higher than in asia and africa combined. ah, the u. k says the end of coal is inside thanks to the latest cup 26 pledge. dozens of countries are committed to win their economies off co on the energy day of the climate summit in glasgow. coal is considered one of the biggest contributors to climate change on 40 countries have signed up to the deal, including major uses,

such as poland, canada, ukraine, and south korea. signatories from major economies agreed to phase out coal power in the 20 thirty's. well, poor nations will have until the following decade. but some of the biggest consumers of coal did not sign the commitment include the us, china, india, and australia. today, i think we can say that the end of coal is incite the progress we've seen over the past 2 years. would seem like a lofty ambition when we took on the cock presidency bank in 2019 who to thought back then that today we're able to say that we're choking off international co financing. all that we would see a shift away from domestic co power. when you mentioned the u. s. is among several major pollutions that did not sign up to the co pledge, but it's climate. and we're john kerry told around his country's green agenda is still setting a global example. we are committed to be carbon creek in our

power sector by 2035 and the president has committed that we will have only electric vehicles by 2035, no more internal combustion engine. so we're moving ahead, very, very aggressively. carbon emissions, rebounding to levels seen before. the pandemic emissions of the planet heating gas dropped by 5.4 percent last year. this countries were forced to lockdown and economies ground to hold. but a new report by the global carbon project shows you 2 emissions are on track to rise by 4.9 percent this year. while the world works to transition to renewables, so be less need for old fossil fuel infrastructure. our environment editor nick clark, is it chrome, anti furth in the scottish highlands, where the floating oil platforms are waiting to see if they get new contracts, or b decommissioned chromosome for the kind of barometer of the state of the case oil

and gas industry. because when there's a downside kit, pretty crowded in here. as unused rigs are brought in from the north sea and a weight new contracts. back in 2019 new case. oil and gas all authority estimated there between 10 to 20000000 barrels of oil left to be recovered in the normal seat and a date as we speak. as a paid under way to open up the john campbell oil field about 250 kilometers north of year, around the shetland islands. for the truth is as the move away from fossil fuels gathers momentum fights like this will become more and more common. for there is still clearly a very, very long way to go at the you and climate conference in glasgow delegates there are still digesting the news of emissions. a nearly back to pre pandemic levels and still increasing. but there is some good news to on the 1.5 degrees celsius target . remember before the conference, we were heading for 2.7 degrees celsius. now over latest national commitments,

if nation sticks them were at $1.00 degrees celsius. still some way to go, but as a week left of negotiations, so that got good merit was mentioned earlier, india has not signed up the cold hill. renewable power generation has tripled there in recent years. but the co sector is also expanding and some refer on him reports from darkened home to india's largest col reserves. these fires have been burning across the jetty. a caufield in india's east and state of johnson for more than 100 years, had destroyed thousands of homes and made much of julia town uninhabitable. violet body is now a single parent after his 30 year old wife cardeana. davy fell into a pit while taking the daughter to use the toilet. the ground here often caves in the cause of the fires. my daughter came running and said mommy has fallen into a bit. i rushed to the spot and i prayed to god that no one has ever see your site

with julia is india's most lucrative caulfield, but also the site of one of its biggest environmental disasters. underground fires were 1st detected in 1916 and abandoned mines, which went decommissioned properly. more recently, 2 decades of unrestrained open cost mining has brought the fires to the surface, but the indian government is pushing ahead. the plants expand the sector in jargon and beyond india is developing. it's just really, it's been just realizing and for that we need power. more and more power is needed for and 70 percent. we depend on this. india is already the world's 2nd largest producer consumer and importer of comb, jock and is home to the country's largest coal reserves, but also to forests rich and bio diversity. the coal block under these fields. and

that forest was auction to one of the biggest companies nearly a year ago, but no work has started. that's because the state of jack and as challenging the central government's plans and the supreme court on environmental grounds, there are plans to convert these fields and large tracks of forest into mines. displacing tens of thousands of people who often belong to indigenous tribes. politicians and job can say any expansion must take people into consideration of the problem here is we want everyone wants call government one school we want expansion. but what does it cost? people are paying for it. the truth is that there is an expansion, but people are not getting the do you want to have a whole dock? you want to have to call. but what about the people living about the service? like thousands of others billet bodies says he won't leave judie because the government has provided proper accommodation elsewhere. as india's electricity

demand grows with its economy, environmentalists say it must prioritize clean energy for any development to be beneficial in the years to come. elizabeth perron and al jazeera jock and eastern india the judge in the trial for ahmad arbor is killing the says, the jury selection appears to be intentionally discriminatory, but has allowed the trial to go head 11 white people and one black man will hear evidence and trying to free white men, accused of murdering aubrey. a black man who was killed while out jogging defense attorneys struck almost all potential black jurors from the pool and prosecutors called for judge timothy woolsey to river, the rejecting as 8 of the black jurors. and he says he cannot legally intervene. and i was surprised specify some of what we've already been facing in this case. it's another part of the injustices that we see here in glenn county. not just with

this case, but with many. so it's just another part of what we face every day. and b, c reporter, j, greys. in brunswick, georgia, outside the court was a long and very contentious jury selection process 2 and a half weeks to get this 12 member panel. as you talk about, there's still a lot of contention over that 11 white jurors, one black jury members, the judge in this case is already set. and i'm quoting here, there appears to be intentional discrimination that by defense attorneys, he says in the selection process. but he also goes on to point out that they didn't violate any georgia state law by striking some potential african american jurors. and that this trial will move forward with this jury 25 year old amount, aubrey's killing sport nationwide protest. he was jogging in a neighborhood here in brunswick when he was chased down, shot and killed by greg nick michael and his son travis, a neighbor william roddy,

bryan captured the shooting on cell phone video. all 3 have been charged and his death. of course, that video will be at the center of this high profile case. with an 800 migrants aboard, a rescue ship waiting to be assigned a port of safety as the head to the italian on and developed producer a german c i. 4 saved were 400 people from overcrowded votes on wednesday night alone. it was the vessel's 7th rescue operation since setting sail. so father, she had more than 53000 migrants, arrived in italy nearly twice the number of people who arrived in the same period last year. millions of people across india, celebrating devali, the festival of lights. festivities have been more low key than usual. the 2nd valley, since the pandemic began, some people are focusing on lighting their homes this year. but the normal city of georgia has continued its record breaking tradition, biting 900000 oil lamps to remark to mark the return of the gold ram news next

sunday. mitchell has more on the preparations from new delhi. it's the most widely celebrated festival in india, and also the biggest chevy season hundreds of devali shoppers had strong markets like this one in new delhi over the last few days. with india pull the 19 caseload dropping to its lowest level in mildly upland. most of the population, at least partially vaccinated. dividing 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 lock down earlier this year. logged on to give others happy to live this year is no better than the previous one when we were in lago last year was still better than to see there's hardly any will the season too. i remember that i should say a hypocrisy because on the one hand, they say get keep associated distancing. but the other hand, the adult,

they have the actually, they don't maintain anything, any, they call them any social distance thing. so what's the point of a setting of these rules? i don't understand. they've only also marked the onset of phoenician sees and 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 violet. us jellies equality this. we did dip to one if it's worse levels this season and a meant to partially predicts that air pollution levels will remain high over the next few days. ah. from on the top stories around desert state media says you don's military leader has ordered the release of 4 civilian cabinet ministers detained in the military takeover last month. this comes as hundreds in catch him continued to protest.
