until ethiopia is free and peaceful, this is the time every citizen has to say. i'm in 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 army with a strength in numbers and significant airport pushed to t grind 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 grew from only a 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 listing these regional forces and militia. but ultimately, that means sending quite rule 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 trying 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 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 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 region left to deescalate the you got precedent have 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 the aisle to 0. europe has once again become the epicenter of their coven 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. where vaccination rates are low and the wi chose as it should be, a warning shot for the rest of the world. john hall 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 southeast 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 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 hope al jazeera across atlantic in the u. s. companies with 100 or more employees will not be required to ensure their stuff vaccinated or tested weekly. the bottom administration is issued a deadline of january, the 4th for the mandate. companies that failed to comply will be fined about $14000.00 for each violation. 1100 americans on average, are still dying daily from 19 the vast majority of them on vaccinated. and fisher has more from capitol hill. we do the mandates we're coming. know, we know the date that there will be imposed january the 4th exactly, to month from the state. it means that if you've got

a company that employs $100.00 people or more, everyone's there has to be vaccinated. if an employee decides not to get vaccinated, they have to have a negative test every single week and also wait a mosque in the office or the workplace. and the cost of that case has to be borne by the employee, not by the company. no, there are exceptions, federal workers and health workers. they don't get to do the test, the have to be vaccinated, or else that could be terminated. so new october for them. they have got to go ahead with it. and if there's a breach for the company, then there's $14000.00 in fines, but each and every single one. there will be challenges to this attorney general's around the country. already seeing that the government has gone too far exceeded the law. and so they will be challenging in court, but joe biden and his team believe that they are on solid, legal grown, the senate, they've been having and other hearing on what's happened with corporate and how they plan for the future. big exchange between anthony folk and ron paul, who is

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. scientists have identified a gene that doubles the risk of long failure and death from code 19. according to researches at the university of oxford, the gene is carried by 60 percent of people from south asian backgrounds and by 15 percent of people from european backgrounds such as se the gene makes people's lungs more susceptible to the virus. but vaccines significantly reduce those risks filled, come the south out the trial of the killing of alma albert goes ahead in georgia despite protest rich almost all white jury. why thousands of new correct here in

a front sliding across the bytes. some storms were seen them pop up through western australia and as we had towards south australia this eventually making its way into adelaide. not until saturday, and it's going to be some light showers, but the wind direction shifts toward the south so that kicks down your temperature to 21. we have seen a lot of rain for new zealand. north island gives been, has declared its state emergency after a 174 millimeters of rain. that's 3 times above the average november rainfall and it's still come in on friday. that's it. see a soon ah, the corona virus has been indiscriminate in selecting its victims. it's devastating effects of plague, every corner of the globe, transcending class creed and color. but in britain, a disproportionately high percentage of the fallen have been black or brown skinned

regional leaders to meet over the crisis. and the world health organization says europe is against the epicenter of the pandemic. current of ours infection rates are higher than in asia and africa combined you case as the end of coal is in sight, thanks to the latest cop, $26.00 sledge. dozens of countries have committed to win their economies off coal on the energy day and the climate summit in glasgow. coal is considered one of the biggest contributors to climate change. on 40 countries have signed up the deal, including major uses, such as poland, canada, ukraine, and south korea. signatures from major economies agreed to phase out coal power in the 20 thirty's, while poor nations will have until the following decade. but some of the biggest consumers of coal did not sign the commitment. they include the us, china, india, and australia, under simmons as more from glasgow. the british sponsors are describing these as

ambitious commitments that could be an understatement. these are the, some of the highlights ending all investment in new coal power generation, domestically and internationally, rapidly scaling up deployment of clean power generation. now there's a coalition of several countries and also a large number of banks and other institutions which are intending to complete the phase out the use of coal over a given time scale. it's between 20302035 up to 2014. in some cases, there are new countries committing to this, but there are large countries which aren't committed than not signing. and they include china. the united states hasn't signed up to this latest agreement. it says, because it doesn't need to. we are committed to be carbon free in our power sector by 2035 and the president has committed that we will have only

electric vehicles by 2030 like no more internal combustion engine. so we're moving ahead very, very aggressively. now many scientists say even 2035 is too late to make a difference. and furthermore, that coal isn't just the problem. there's also oil and gas, and not enough has been done to reduce those emissions together. oil and gas are now outstripping according to many statistics, the damage done by coal. furthermore, there's the issue of whether or not countries committing to cutting back on all of these things, whether they deliver or not. the international energy authority is now being tasked to actually monitor the promises and to actually make sure the promises are delivered. it remains to be seen as to how effective that could be. carbon emissions are 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 new report by the global carbon project shows c o 2 emissions on track to rise by 4.9 percent this year. and it changes if you are in conflict in parts of chad where that our land is fast becoming a rare commodity. try zones are expanding, making resources for farmers ever more precious. i mean use reports from jemina. another victim of climate change, a prized horse, succumbs to the searing heat. here an exhausted lamb was left behind by my greeting, heard 4 wild animals to deval as his losses. pile up. i don't muhammad rounds of his cattle and family and head towards the border with cam rule. me? well, i filled out all 4 foot award. we are leaving to the pastures,

took them. also consider does, if i can definitely tell you that in this region, time has in fact run out and it's up to us to act and mitigate the impact both we both grew still occupied like slaves of territory, father limiting access to water and lead for agriculture the impact of climate change becomes clear pasta really supposed to make a difficult decision to sell of the animals are very low prizes or let them die. and when they bring them to markets like this, they find 2 people can afford to buy them. how many did reach out to jim in the judge in the trial for odd auburn is killing, 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 whiteman, accused of murdering robbery. a black man who was killed while out jogging defense attorneys struck almost all potential black jurors from the pool. prosecutors

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, more than 800 migrants aboard a rescue ship waiting to be assigned a port of safety as they had to the italian island of land producer, the german c i for save more than 400 people from overcrowded boats on wednesday night alone. it was the vessel 7th rescue operations since setting sail so far this

women and children making their way through the mud rainy season makes the track far more difficult. but the main challenge is making sure they are caught before crossing the border. this is what they call a bundle sable or blind spot in a little border crossing. and it's from here that the nicaraguan migrants come in, some of them lose their shoes. some of them a lot more, but they're not hiding from the costa rican police. are hiding from the nicaraguan army, which is just over there. we can practically see them from here. and they are trying to prevent nicaraguans from leaving the country ahead of the presidential elections . these 2 young nicaraguan students left managua by bus at 3 am, and walked for hours to cross the border with the help of guides, people who know the paths and how to avoid soldiers of your telephone that they don't want to be identified because their opponents of nicaragua, president daniel ortega and say they fear reprisals against those. they've left

though it is very worthy. i mean that there are loads of soldiers along the border because of the election. they're probably afraid that people will return and try to make trouble for them. putting fact nicaraguans keep leaving notice of the nervous and reluctant to speak to us, at least on camera. here, got our, i can't talk because in nicaragua, if you say anything, they will take you for a right that slang for getting killed. like many, he wants to return to nicaragua, when things improve and on a center it seems to reflect a desire more than an object of possibility for the near future. lucy newman al jazeera, at the costa rica, nicaragua border a human popular over virus or h. b v vaccine has cut cases of cervical cancer in those inoculated by nearly 90 percent, according to a u. k based study vaccine, which is available to girls in more than a 100 countries, protects the recipient from contracting high risk versions of the
