2:04 am
ha ha, given we didn't do this. and that because now lapse and so you having to consider is way forward and in many ways a civilian because it's been you have members of the resistance committee, a know to go to the military. and while you have a deal that we'll see as some kind of restoration of any network, do you have a different competing interest? but again, that should not compete looking for a solution. then the challenges that came about from a lack of, of sort of a common vision with i think is disingenuous. say that that was the main reason why i think we're all going to practice why the time. and there's going to be some disagreement. how come it happened once the government had to also contend it was a very active military component of this hybrid which in many ways in the way of
2:05 am
forming all institutions be on a critical role. so that transition priorities could be, could be realized. the un security council will meet on friday to discuss the fighting in ethiopia. international calls are growing for an immediate cease fire and a u. s. envoys and addis ababa to push for de escalation fighters from the northern tegra region of taken towns on a highway to the capitol, prompting the government to declare a state of emergency franca group to reports. it's not the 1st call to arms spine if he'll be in leader, but this time it's against an enemy within a person. prime minister abbey amad use the 1st anniversary of the conflict antique roy to call on its citizens to fight and defeat the tiguan rebels. abram of africa until ethiopia is free and peaceful. this is the time every citizen has to say. i'm in ethiopia,

2:07 am
have contributed to the fairly consistent gain by the great forces. through eastern hora, the rebels are threatening to move the south towards addis ababa after capturing to strategic handling on a major highway linking the northern region with the capital to go with the teacher and leadership. it's 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 our 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

2:09 am
so it's situation where i think the civil role, the continue until there is either change in the leadership. oh, there are some folks at walton this really event things happening. but at this point, time with this president and did this sort of policy and attitude. it becomes extremely difficult to find a way out of this brutal civil war which has really taken the lives of millions of people and not on the light, but the quality of life and the future of that country. and all the people of the region has been seriously impacted and affected. at burton jazz, government has declared 2 days of national mourning for 69 people killed in an attack on a remote village. a convoy, led by a local man, was ambushed near the borders of malia booking. the region as at the center of

2:11 am
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 whom believed until recently that it was all over. jonah hope al jazeera, the by ministration has set a date for covert 900 vaccination. a rule for businesses from january. 4th, companies with a 100 or more employees will be required to ensure staff either vaccinated or

2:14 am
financial institutions, a raft of other companies, all pledge to phase out the use of coal for making power within something like 10 years. that is the ambition. but that is something of a problem in the way of the poor countries finding the money to get renewables to replace the coal consumption. so what we're looking at is a plan to do it, but not necessarily any force to make it happen. and there are exceptions to, to this defeat, these pledges. one is china, china has not committed to the goals set by others at the united states hasn't signed up. but john kerry, at the u. s. special envoy on climates does say that they've already made a commitment to sort the problem of coal out. this is what he had to tell al
2:15 am
jazeera. 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 2035, no more internal combustion engine. so we're moving ahead, very, very aggressively. lotsa critics to say that so what's happening here is really not happening quickly enough. 2035 is too late. according to scientists, many scientists and also according to climate activists, are also there is the issue of people actually following through on pledges and a global pledge to and deforestation by 2030 is already facing challenges. days after a $128.00 nations signed up to the ambitious plan in glasgow. indonesia environment minister has dismissed it as inappropriate and unfair despite our country agreeing to it on monday. she says, is adults with development plans, indonesia, brazil,

caraballo, a pacific island nation, rapidly falling victim to rising sea levels and to president skilfully commanding the stage of climate change. diplomacy, whom do we appeal to for our people to ride, to survive and to challenge a planet with? can he security to the he seemed to be stateless people. what he's going to happen to us is going to be the fate of paris, winful witness. and so on al jazeera ah ah, welcome back. a quick reminder, our top stories here, this alice sedans,
2:19 am
military leader, has spoken to the u. s. secretary of state and agree to speed up the formation of a new government. earlier he order the release of for civilian cabinet ministers detained in last month's military take over. the year and security council will meet on friday to discuss the fighting in ethiopia. international calls are growing for an immediate cease fire. the you, a special envoy for the region is in alice, i'm about to push for disconnection, and the world health organization has morning that your is once again at the epicenter. the coping 900 pandemic. the number of new infections across the continent are up by 55 percent in the past month. now, u. s. media reporting house democrats could vote on a pair of long delayed spending bills as early as thursday. there's urgency to pass the bills after democrats suffered a state level election defeat in virginia and a near defeat in new jersey. the 2 bills total roughly 3 trillion dollars, and a vital to jo biden's domestic agenda. but disagreement between progressive and moderate democrats, of kept either bill from coming to
2:20 am
a vote. let's bring an arshad hassan. he's a democratic political strategist. he joins us live from burlington in vermont osh . i'd good to have you with us. so look, as we were saying that the democratic perform poorly in this week's gubernatorial election, especially in virginia. how much do you think that's galvanized the party to come together on this vote? well, if you take a look at this historically 89 percent of the time the president's party loses mid term elections. trump did obama did. so this isn't so unusual. the election issues in virginia were mostly centered around education, whereas the infrastructure bill wasn't something on people's minds. and these 2 events did happen around the same time. and there are lessons to learn about it in terms of, in my opinion, and the need to be bold about her agenda. but these were different things if it's spurs, congress to take action and i think it's a good thing. but i want to be careful that we don't want to learn the wrong left. i said how it has been locked into play out for the progression wing of the party
2:21 am
as they were. the ones who've been blocking the bill until they got various social spending on climate change concessions. i'm afraid it's incorrect. the social spending bills that that the progressive wing has proposed has been proposed for over 3 months. the bill is there, a couple of senators in 2 different states, west virginia in arizona, have been blocking it and hadn't even been clear in their attentions. they could have voted for the bill months ago and chose not to the progresses, went back and forth, repaired it down, compromised only. now are those 2 sort of senators moving a distraction again to be clear? 98 percent of the democratic party in congress support this bill including moderates, including moderate caucuses, to hold out, representing a pretty small portion of the, of the population. due to some procedural loopholes are able to hold up. okay, dell and that is the reason why we haven't had action on this earlier. yeah. and it
2:22 am
seems that nancy pelosi is moving forward with this believing without popular consensus, some democratic senate says how much concern is there, the president biden's infrastructure bill of stools and they need to get this moving them they again, there is popular consensus. almost every house democrat and almost every senate democrats support this bill. we just need to have actually every single one. so one or 2 people can actually stall this agenda. now i think now that there is a greater need to spur this forward, simply because it has been a long time. and people are seeing that the opposition to this bill just keeps sort of the keep moving the goalpost. they keep coming up with different reasons. americans are getting frustrated because after all, this is an extraordinarily popular set of policies in these bills. i'm just a final thought you all shop because you talk about the frustrations there. i mean, the democrats had spent months cutting down this bill in order to appease moderates
2:23 am
within the policy, like joe mentioned, but, but now they seem to be putting stuff back in like paid family wise. that paid family leave is among the most popular bills it. let's explain paid family. this is something that almost the entire world except the united states get. it's the right to see your child for after work and still be able to come back to work. so the small concession there is that there's only 4 weeks of paid leave. so if you have a baby, you're able to go see your child and stay at home for 4 weeks, then you have to get right back to work. that's better than 0. but americans everywhere and across political lines, believe it as times the united states joins the rest of the country in that leave. so leaving it out, i think was a mistake of putting it back in. again, it's wildly popular and necessary is i think a plus for this bill also has a really good to get your inside. thank you very much. indeed for talking to al jazeera, happy to be here. now the judge in the trials ahmad aubrey is killing,
2:24 am
says there appears to be intentional discrimination in the jury selection, but he's allowed the trial to go ahead. 11 white people and one black men 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 in the pool. prosecutors court for judge timothy wanted to reverse the rejection of 8 of the black jurors, but the judge says he cannot legally intervene. lebanon's prime minister is under pressure to dismiss the information minister for causing a dispute with saudi arabia george cadon. he made comments about the war and yemen . that's an good several gulf states. zayna had a report from a capital a route. 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 government, saudi arabia and some arab called countries have severed ties with lebanon for what
2:25 am
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 calls for the information minister to listen to his conscience had put circumstances into consideration and take the stance 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 kurt. he 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 country's 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. i also need to gain the consensus agreements of his bella and the political parties
2:26 am
as well as the manner the part, the part of the minister becky as not to resign as well. if that design, the diplomatic dispute is aggravating divisions and 11 on which is among the battlefields and saudi arabia. geopolitical tug of war is played out and took them and help them out of many liberties governments most over akin frank apology to saudi arabia and the gulf states as total real damage to just controversial issues. and that includes ending his beloved military intervention in yemen. saudi arabia has long accused, has beloved helping the around 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 it's our wing has
2:27 am
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 bay report. and now without support from gulf nations, it will be hard to secure much needed international aid to stop its economic collapse. then there elisha zita failed napoleon, struggling to rebuild and the optima of several natural disasters. most recently, hundreds of people have died in flooding. experts say climate change may be making these weather events even more extreme thing. bizarre. the reports down from elementary in the center of the country 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,
2:28 am
the black in 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 land slides blocking mountain passes faster than road truce, can clear them throughout it all. ongoing manmade soil erosion to meet the demand for building materials. climate scientists warn conditions are worsening across the himalayan region and are unprecedented. most of these events that we've, we've just explained, are very much actually been able to 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 in silt and rocks and large boulders in valleys all across
2:29 am
this area. and just to give you a sense of how deep this debrief 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. 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 to have a torn down. that is the father of the another venus, or if the government gets 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 won't happen next year. it's all about nature. and what can we do against nature? a lot of his nipples. 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
2:30 am
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 every one. and countries like nepal should not be left alone to put out fires being fueled on a global scale. zane basra, the alta 0, the milan t river in nipple ah what type of ketchup? the headlines. aaron al jazeera sedans, miniature leda spoken to the u. s. secretary of state and agreed to speed up the formation of a new government. earlier he ordered the release of for civilian cabinet ministers detained and last month's miniature takeover. since this military takeover we have made very clear.
