some neighborhoods are racked by social and economic to spend one 0, an ace makes a band of local heroes. every one of us, they've got a responsibility to change our person's place flashing for their suburban drake on out to 0. ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello, lauren taylor, this is the out there news our live from london coming up. sedans, military chief, orders, the release of 4 civilian ministers, but not the ousted prime minister, abdullah ham dock. urgent efforts to calm the escalating, warn ethiopia. as to grind, forces seize key towns and advanced towards the capital. thus, europe is back at the epicenter or upon the mc. w h o says

a huge rise in covert cases across europe should serve as a warning shot to other regions. and today, i think we can say that the end of coal is in sight. dozens of countries commit to phase out their coal use, but not some of the biggest consumers like india, china and the u. s. and i v december over with all your sport, tottenham have made a bright stars on the new coach. antonio concert spurs are currently in action. nam may have school 3 goals in the 1st half of the european fixture. we were full time highlights later. this new zola ah, she dons military leader has ordered the release of 4 civilian cabinet ministers detained in the military takeover last month. but not others who faced criminal charges. hundreds of people continued to protest in khartoum against the takeover

and dissolution of the ruling. civilian transitional council, general abdel for to elbow han has spoken to the un envoy for sudan, about a potential agreement, including the return of asked, had prime minister abdullah ham dock, who still under house arrest the reportedly discussed the release of no detainees, a technocratic cabinet, and the possibility of lifting a state of emergency is gonna have to have morgan in khartoum, him or will not. can you tell us about these releases while for ministers of the civilian political details have been arrested on the eve of the military takeover. haven't released there. the minister of communication, the minister of trade, the minister of youth and sports, and the minister of, of communicating information. now that those 4 ministers are just some of the people who have been erected, the minister of industry, who was also one of those was who was taken on the morning of the military who has

not been released along with the spokesperson of the now dissolved sovereignty. council mohammed and fricky as well as the minister in the office of the prime minister, or who, who's also the cabinet cabinet minister. he's also yet to be released and their whereabouts are yet to be revealed. now, prime minister optima handbook is still under house arrest, despite the fact that he's been taken from general abdel for residence where he was when he was on the day of the call, where he was taken on the day of the call and he was returned back to his house, so the form ministers who have been released or just some of those who have been arrested on the morning of the cool. and there were also activists and lawyers who are arrested. now this all comes as mediation efforts continue between prime minister of the lam, talk and general abdel for one who said that he wants to form a civilian cabinet and he had hoped that prime minister optima hm dog will be leading that cabinet. now, prime minister of the lamb dog who is under house arrest, had stated that he once the release of all political prisoners who have been

arrested, including the activists. and then he would be willing to negotiate with the head of the army general abilene high hon. he's also asked for the ration of that civilian government, which has been dissolved on the morning of the coo, and he says he wants the country to return back to the day of october 24th. that's the day before the military takeover. and it's not clear how far the discussions have come, but the you and special representative of the secretary general here in to them has said that they have gone a long way. and that deal between the 2 sides. it's possible to form a civilian government. it's not clear if that cabinet will be the same cabinet that the prime minister the lamb took was leading. however, a general abdel for the abraham had stated that he was a civilian government, not affiliated, not affiliated to any political party. and we're still waiting to see if prime minister of them will agree to that. for now, we still have several ministers still under detention general add them for the album. han had stated that those who are not released are going to face criminal charges. and those who don't have any charges against them will be really so it's

clear that those 4 ministers will happen. williams will not be facing charges while we're waiting to hear on news from other ministers. in the meantime, just after the release of those 4 police political prisoners, those 4 minutes the, there has been more arrest figures from the forces of freedom and change coalition . that's the ruling coalition that made up the former government that has been dissolved by general. let them put the handbook on there are some leading figures who have been arrested specifically 3 figures, some of the members of the committee to dismantle the former regime. so while. 7 some release are be released or being made of political figures. others are being detained and it's not clear how far or how long it will take before this country gets out of current political crisis and understand that antony blinking has been talking to. honda tells me about that phone call that they have while the us secretary of state, anthony lincoln has repeatedly been stating that he wants to see the civilian lead

transitional government that was involved on the morning of the military takeover restored. now ask for the statement that came from the office of general lab and put the hon. the talk was about not restoring that civilian government but rather forming a civilian, transitional government and speeding up the formation of that of that government. if it's a very separate statement from what we saw on the 4th or handle of us secretary of state, anthony blink. and who said that together with the united, with the united kingdom and the united arab emirates. and so do they want to see a restoration of the civilian, the transitional government that has been devolved to mixed messages there. 2 different messages apparently, but it's clear that general abdel for the album han does not want to see a return to the state of school. he does not want that transitional government which has been dissolved reinstated back again. he has stated that he wants to be prime minister of the lamb, don't be the one to need the transitional government that will be formed and that it should be made up of technocrats people who are not affiliated to any political

party. we're still waiting for an announcement of a sovereignty council. we know that the sovereignty council, which will be formed, will have members from the different parts or the different states of the country. but so far that he had to be announced so wildly. the general general abdel, how hon wants to form his suit, his, his cabinet and wants to go on with the transmission the way he sees fit. as for his statement, they are all external pressures to restore that government that has been dissolved on october 25th on the day of the military takeover. have a moment. thank you very much. urgent new efforts are underway to calm the escalating war and see opiate african nations and the european union of called for an immediate cease fire. and the us special envoy for the horn of africa is in some of a talks. if you, if you government is declared a state of emergency as to grand rebels, claimed to have made advances towards the capital. after a year of war. the rebels have pushed from to grow into the neighboring regions of hara and far and down the highway running south to i just have

a deadline for to say they've taken control of jesse can we say and come bolger in the past week. crank a group to report. it's not the 1st call to arms spine if he'll be a leader. but this time it's against an enemy within prom. mr. edward usa, 1st anniversary of the conflict, antigua to call on citizens to fight and defeat the tiguan rebels. until ethiopia is free and peaceful, this is the time every citizen has to say. i'm in the the open soldier to condemn this miss g. this plan while standing next to the se, opiate national defense forces to humiliate the enemy late last year. if you appear national, all me with a strength in numbers and significant, paul pushed the tiguan rebels into retreat. since july, the rebels had been making the gains and expanding the battle from insight into

neighboring, unheard of our region. the central day have now entered an unlikely alliance with the oral more liberation army, a band flint from romeo region, home to few p as largest ethnic group when the federal military had to withdraw from pick right and june after suffering significant battlefield losses. not really does seem to depleted the federal military. they've been on recruitment campaigns 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 trickling to move to south towards addis ababa after couching to strategic hands on a major highway linking the northern teacher, i region with the capital. where the teacher i 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 enslaved 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 capital because of escalating violence. washington has sent especially on war for the horn of africa to few up here. and there also regional efforts to de escalate. the you got the president 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 plank or group the aisle to 0.

ye repairs. once again, become the epicenter, the coven, 19 pandemic. as 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. where vaccination rates are low and the wi shows as it should be, a warning shot for the rest of the world general 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 $53.00 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 cove at 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 pale interferes with the viruses, replication, mccann isms and by interfering with how we reproduce is 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 the virus across europe, among countries, some of whom believed until recently that it was all over. jonah whole al jazeera. professor jeff lazarus is a former senior technical officer on communicable diseases at the w shown is now a research at the boss learning st for global health insurance is by skype. thanks

very much for being with us. just want to ask, you've given the kind of broad range of policy approaches in europe, are there any countries that are actually doing better than others that could serve as an example for some of the rest of the countries? well, there are countries that are doing better, and those are the countries with very high vaccination rates. so that includes denmark, it includes spain, some of the other western european countries, to some extent the u. k. other, the numbers need to get much higher. the big problem we're seeing in central and eastern europe right now is the incredibly low vaccination rates, you know, 20 under 20 percent in ukraine, 35 percent in russia. very low rates in countries like gary and romania. and that's where we see not just a lot of transmission, but also high numbers of hospitalizations and deaths. and in the u. s. they for moving towards vaccine mandates. is that something that you think europe might follow? amanda? that some places they've had them for certain categories of people, but you think it's a model that will spread generally in your i hope it does. mandates covers

a wide range of issues. i mean, you can have co bid certificates for entering restaurants. the cinema for international travel, but you can also go further and say we need mandates to go to the university for employment. it could be specific jobs that get hospitals and high risk areas, elder care homes, but it could also be for, for other places of employment and factories and where large numbers of people congregates. i think europe really has to consider this, given that we're a year and a half or more into their pandemic. and yet, we see cases hospitalizations and deaths rising in many of the countries in some places where the death rates haven't been rising and the transmission is high. and that does that mean that there's a level of immunity that's, that's helpful in any way. it means really that the vaccines are working and a good example is to compare your central european countries like bulgaria and romania, where there's a low number percentage of the population vaccinated in

a high number of deaths and compare them to nearby slovenia, where more than triple the population is vaccinated, so they are they all 3 of high transmission rates, but slovenia has a much lower death rate at the marathon. you've just come back from tanzania. what . what kind of situation did you find there for it? but i didn't. yeah, i was quite surprised now, could it hasn't been a big problem there, but they do, you know, they have had cases, they have had death and over the summer and they have not had vaccines. and over the summer, they were given a 1000000 doses of the johnson vaccine. and after 2 weeks that only distributed 250000 of them. so i met with the head of one of the large groups of hospitals and he was really concerned. he's a bishop and he said he was concerned that other religious leaders were speaking out against the vaccine and that was leading the population to, to not get vaccinated. and that included not just the general population, but also religious leaders and even health care professionals. thank you very much

indeed, georgia hazardous for talking to thank you. thank you. scientists have identified a gene that doubles the risk of long failure and death from coal non teen, according to such as at the university of oxford, the genie carried by 60 percent of people from south asian backgrounds and by 15 percent of people from european backgrounds research say the gene makes people's lungs more susceptible to the virus, but vaccines significantly reduce these risks across the atlantic and the u. s. companies with $100.00 or more employees will not be required to ensure a staff a vaccinated or tested weekly. the biden administration is issued a deadline of january the 4th for the mandate companies that failed to comply will we find about $14000.00 for each violation. about 1100 americans on average, are still dying daily from 19 the vast majority of them on vaccinated coming from the news from london. at the trial of the killing of almost every goes

ahead in georgia, despite protests over it's almost all white jury. why thousands of nicaragua and the fleeing the country out of this sunday's presidential election was crushing when australia is t. 20 world cup campaign, around details, lecturing for me the you cases, the end of coal is inside thing. so the latest cop. 26 pledge, dozens of countries have committed to when their economies off coal on the energy energy day of the climate so much in glasgow. coal is considered one of the biggest contributors to climate change. $140.00 countries who signed up to the deal, including major uses, such as poland, canada, ukraine, and south korea. secretaries from that manger economy is agreed to phase out coal power in the 20 thirty's or poor nations will have until the following decade. but

some of the biggest consumers of cold is not on the commitment. thank you. to 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 presidency bank in 2019 who to thought back then that today 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 u. s. is among the several major pollutions that did not turn up to the coal pledge, but it's climate. and boy, john kerry told i'm just there, his countries, 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 already rebounding to pre pandemic levels. emissions of the planet heating gas dropped by 5.4 percent last year as countries were forced into lockdown and economies ground to a halt. but a newport by the global carbon project shows c. o. 2 emissions are on track to rise by 4.9 percent this year. was the world works to transition to renewables or be less need for old fossil fuel infrastructure? our environment editor nick clark, is it comedy? furth in the scottish highlands, where floating oil platforms are waiting to see if they'll get new contracts, or be decommissioned chromarty for the kind of barometer of the state of the case oil and gas industry. because when there's a downside, it gets 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 were between 10 to 20000000 barrels of oil left to be recovered in the north sea. and indeed, as we speak, there's a bit underway to open up the john camber oil field, about 250 kilometers north of here, 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 un climate conference in glasgow delegates there are still digesting the news that emissions a nearly back to pre pandemic levels and still increasing where 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 go 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. a global pledge to end deforestation by 2030 is already

facing challenges. days after $128.00 nations signed up to the ambitious planning, glasgow, indonesia environment ministers dismissed the pledge as inappropriate and unfair at this point. i country agreeing to it on monday, sitting by a becca, says it's at odds with indonesia development plans, which must not stop in the name of carbon emissions or deforestation. indonesia is vice foreign minister denied deforestation was even part of the pledge. instead referring to sustainable forest management, indonesia, brazil, and the democratic republic of congo, account for 85 percent of the wells forests. now for hannah, yameen is a climate change lawyer, an advisor to the climate vulnerable forum. she joins a cert by zoom from glasgow, thanks so much for being with us. i want to go back to, to the issue of coal and,

and the agreement that's been signed up to. how much difference do you think it's gonna make? well, a lot of a lot of countries, it's ease regions. her now said that this is the end of the era of coal. and we hope that with the support of the financial institutions who also joined the powering past coal alliance that finally, you know, the, the message we'll get home will hit home that we don't need to rely on coal anymore . and that it must be phased out immediately. the whole world of how much of an issue is it that china is not involved? it's obviously it's a big issue. it's a really huge issue. china has already committed to ending its support for coal projects overseas. but it really must extend that to its own domestic power plants and immediately end its own reliance on koli can do that. we're appealing as vulnerable countries for china to step up and show leadership on this issue. but what about the idea of wealthier nations are paying to to help phase out colin in

other nations where there's been an example ready for south africa where the u. k. germany in the u. s. of agree to, to, to pay them $8.00 and a half $1000000000.00 to move away from coal is, is that something that is a model that, that might work for other countries? oh, well definitely you know, a switching to renewables, although they're cheaper and cleaner and generate far more new jobs, there is a transition that is needed that it has to be fair, globally and overseas. that's what the 100000000000 was meant to be about. it's an issue of principle and of equity and fairness that developing countries. china is one. it may be a major economics, global superpower now, but it said entitled to have some support, as well as other countries that deserve that support. and it was promised under the parents agreement that they would have that support about the the, and that kind of possibility all these commitments will be stuck to them now after they're not the not binding other there's no,

there's no mechanism for enforcement. is that that's always been the achilles heel with, you know, as a lawyer, have to say, countries should be using regulations to, to ban coal as if it was a toxic substance, as if it was as if greenhouse gases were toxic. and that's what an emergency mode, a real emergency, a response to climate action is needed. but the out, the devil is in the detail, there's huge need for accountability and for us to keep up the political pressure. but let's hope that her glasgow results in these agreements being stuck to an honored there's a bit more about the pledge. there's is pleasure, boucher, on unabated or overseas fossil fuel projects. what, what exactly does that mean and, and if there is a, a plan to stop financing, that kind of thing, how much difference will, will that me well, you know, money matters so immense matters if the financial institutions really act on the

sustainable development goals. if they act on the basis of the commitments in the parents agreement, where basically all of financial flows will meant to align with the paris goals, then it makes a huge difference. you know, you're shutting off the pap pipeline, you're giving the financial markets a very clear signal that they must shift into renewables. they must shift into energy efficiency. so yeah, i really welcome. i would ask all financial institutions that immediately step up and listen to what customers, what citizens will are young people and what wonderful country they're asking for for honey. i mean, thank you very much indeed for talking to. thank you. thank you. now the judge in the trial for ahmad aubrey's killing, the says, the jury selection appears to be intentionally discriminatory, but has allowed the trial to go ahead. 11 white people and one black man will hear evidence. in the trial of 3 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. prosecutors called for judge timothy walmsley to reverse the rejecting of 8 of the black jurors . but the judge says he cannot legally intervene a weather supplier's festus. some of what we've already been facing in this case is another part of the injustices that we see here in glenn county are not just with this case with many. so it's just another part of what we face every day. and mrs. j gray joins is so from the outside, outside the courthouse in brunswick, georgia. so i kind of controversial started to all this yeah, it really is. lauren and what has been a high profile cases since the shooting occurred a little over a year ago. let's talk 1st about what the judge specifically said in reference to

this jury makeup. and i'm quoting here, he says there appears to be intentional discrimination by the defense team. they struck 8 potential blank juror saying that they were just overly biased, that they had already made up their minds about this case. and the judge said, he's got to let that stand because they didn't use race as a basis for removing these potential panelists, what you end up with here is a jury. that's 11 white jurors, and one member of that panel is black and the makeup of this small town about 85000 people that live here is 26 percent black. so this jury in no way represents the community where this case is being tried. that being said, they are moving forward. they had a bit of a judicial house cleaning if you will today, getting through some pre trial motions and tomorrow. we begin with the opening statements and both sides are promising video as a part of those opening statements, as well as some very emotional references during these speeches

before they get underway long. and it is one of the another, these cases where there is kind of substantial video link to tell us more about and the emotional case and, and what's been brought to court yet, no question about that. you got dr. greg and travis mc michael, the father and son who saw a this man jogging through the community middle of the day. i a mod aubrey and, and basically armed themselves got into a pick up truck and chased him down. they called in a neighbor who came in and with his cellphone, captured video of the entire confrontation and eventually the shooting. obviously, that's going to be at the center of what we see in this case. and you've got both sides of saying opposite things about that videotape. clearly it's something that

is going to be difficult for the abra family to watch. again, it's going to be difficult for this jury. you would imagine to see that unfold. but i think they'll get to it early and often of from the prosecutor side they, they want to, sir, in the minds of this jury. what happened that day and, and use this tape as a reminder of that. j. grey. thank you very much. indeed. there's lots more still to come this hour, including multiple floods this year have dumped in immeasurable amount of earth and mud and sanders silt and rocks and large boulders in valleys all across this area where nipple where a changing climate is being blamed for.
