restores the civilian lead. government heb morgan is in cartoon with more on the release of those cabinet ministers for ministers of the civilian political detainees who have been arrested on the eve of the military takeover. haven't released the minister of communication. the minister of trade, the minister of youth and sports, and the minister of, of community of information. now those 4 ministers are just some of the people who have been arrested. the minister of industry, who was also one of those who 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 capitalist 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 the residence where he was when he was on the day of the call, where he was taken on the day of school. and he was returned back to his house. so

the 4 ministers who have been with these are just some of those who have been arrested on the morning of the cool. and they were also activists and lawyers who are arrested. now, this all comes as mediation efforts, continue between prime minister on the job and general abdel behind who said that you want 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 land who is under house arrest, had stated that he wants 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 abdel for the help of 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. eric reeves is a see don on list and follow the ref. valley institute, he says the u. s. in un or letting the ministry decide on the civilian

representation in the government. what we're saying is both the u. s. and the un catering to the military. if you look at the comments today by focus parents, the un special envoy for sudan, who's doing the dirty work of the negotiating. he's making it clear that that's his view. the things need to happen in a hurry, he says. now the question is, are both sides willing to accept this commit to this agreement? but both sides here, who's we'll, what the military side is, what's on the civilian side, is a just prime minister handbook. does it include the ministers who are arrested and are still under arrest? i think we're getting a very skewed view of what civilian means in sudan at the present moment from the us. and from the when. again, we need to consider the attitude of the real political forces in sudan,

which unfortunately are not represented by prime minister humbug much more by those who remain detained or out of their jobs. because of the military. the military has, in effect, issued an ultimatum to the international community. you ever get ham, dock, and whatever civilians you can to agree with us on what the form of government will be answered and going forward on we're walking and that's a big threat. we've got as many guns and as many men willing to use those guns against innocent civilians as you do with these cool leaders. the on security council will meet on friday to discuss the fighting in ethiopia, international cause growing for an immediate cease fire, and a u. s. envoy. as an artist, i'm about to push for de escalation. fighters from the northern te gray region have taken towns on a highway to the capital, prompting the government to declare a state of emergency bianca 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 the prime minister abbey amad use the 1st anniversary of the conflict, antique white to call on his citizens to fight and defeat the tiguan rebels. the brand best captain, until ethiopia is free and peaceful. this is the time every citizen has to say. i'm in ethiopia, a soldier to condemn this mischievous plan. while standing next to the ethiopian national defense forces to humiliate the enemy. late last year, if he appear 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 new gains, expanding the battle from inside t gray into neighboring america, an af i region the school day have not entered an unlikely alliance with the oral more liberation army. a band on splinter group from romeo region home to few peers

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 completed the federal mandatory. 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. i'm new recruits into battle and that seems to have contributed to the fairly consistent gains by the to great forces through said am horror. the rebels are threatening to move further south towards addis ababa after catching 2 strategic tanza on a major highway linking the northern tico region with the capital i set out to get away the t drive. leadership is highly unpopular. nikita gentlemen, 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 t v. we don't need to hear the advice of foreigners about how to deal with this conflict. this is our rule against those who attempt to and slave 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, defi, up here. and there all to regional efforts to deescalate the you got a new 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 bianca group. thou, alta 0, no shares, 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 mayor, was ambush near the borders of molly amber, king of faso. the region is our sense of conflict with groups link ties. so an al

qaeda china has reported its highest single day rise in corona virus cases. in 3 months, 93 people were infected in the last 24 hours. the outbreak began in mid october and has now spread to over half of china's provinces. or the 900 cases have been reported since the search began. beijing as imposed strict rules for people traveling in and out of the country. katrina, you has the very latest from beijing currently this outbreak has reached 19 provinces here in china. that's more than half of the regions across the country. and this latest figure is that we've got $900.00 cases reported since the end of october and the worst effected areas are, hey, long john, province on the board with russia and the northeast and the provinces of gone through an intimate goal the in the northwest. now this is 900 cases reported since

october 17 and many people that may not sound like very much compared to other countries. but this is china and still we have this 0 tolerance approach to the pandemic. we've got this tried and tested playbook, which the government used has your time and time again, really detailed contact tracing program. and if a cases identified anywhere, we see rapid testing and severe and sudden locked downs. now we've had an outbreak sporadically appearing throughout the year. and this playbook has previously been quite effective in containing those outbreaks and keeping those case numbers to double digits really for most of the year. but that strategy does not seem to be working this time. and we have seen this outbreak grow to the size that it has, which is the worst since we've seen since the original outbreak and han last year. and the things that are different is that this is the delta variance. so the more infectious strain is covered 19 and also we're just coming into winter now. and

especially in the north of china, it's already very cold, and people are spending much more time indoors. europe has once again become the epicenter, the coven, 19 pandemic. that is the assessment of the world health organization, which says there more infections that than asian africa combines cases all hitting record levels, especially in central eastern europe, where the vaccination rates are low. john hall has more. while many people are out and about as if the coven 19 thread 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

labor 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 mckenna isms. 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 whole al jazeera. ah, still ahead on algebra will tell you about a major knee brace or in the fight against cervical cancer. and is investing

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. joking. defense attorneys struck almost all potential black tours, from the pole, prosecuted call for judge timothy walmsley to reverse the rejection of 8 of the black jurors. but the judge says he cannot legally intervene. and besides, j grey has been following developments from the court house in brunswick, georgia. let's talk 1st about what the judge specifically said in reference to this jury make up, and i'm quoting here, he says there appears to be intentional discrimination by the defense team. they struck 8 potential blank jurors 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, the biden administration is approved as fast major arms sale to saudi arabia. congress has 30 days to review the $650000000.00 sale of ads and misses has been bipartisan criticism of saudi arabia's involvement in the war in yemen. an attempts

carbon emissions of rebounding to levels not seen since before. the pandemic emissions on tried to rawlings by 4.9 percent this year, and you report was released hours off to deal to end. the use of coal was announced at the cop 26 climate summit. dozens of nations made new commitments, but china, india is the u. s. and australia hadn't signed up to the deal. under simmons reports from the summit in glasgow, there is not one cat, sol, solution, but as a range of initiatives. they are quite ambitious. they don't, they do show promise. one, for example, is a basic whole grouping of states. banks, 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 that 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, through 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 climate does say that they've already made a commitment to solve the problem of coal out. this is what he had to tell al 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. but sir, critics do 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. why, as we mentioned, india has not signed up to the cold deal. and while renewable power generation has triple that in recent years, the cold sector is also expanding. elizabeth per annum reports from jock hands, home to india, the largest coal with ups these fires have been burning across the jody, a cold field in india's eastern state of johnson for more than 100 years. they've

destroyed thousands of homes and made much of jody a town uninhabitable village. bowery is now a single parent. after his 30 year old wife call jani baby fell into a pit while taking the daughter to use the toilet the ground. he often caves in the cause of the fires my daughter came running and said mommy has fallen into a bit. i rushed to the fort and i pray to god that no one has to ever see a sight like julia is india's most lucrative coal field. but also the sight of one of its biggest environmental disasters underground fires were 1st detected in 1916 and abandoned mines, which would decommissioned properly more recently, 2 decades of unrestrained open cost mining has brought fires to the surface. but the indian government is pushing ahead, the plants expand the sector in jargon and beyond. india is developing. that's in

the industry. it's 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 is 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. the problem here is we want everyone wants call gorman 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 cold dock? you want to have to call what, what about the people living about the service? like thousands of others, billet bodies says he won't leave jody, because the government has provided proper accommodation elsewhere as india's and that tricity demand grows with its economy, environmental essay. it must prioritize clean energy. any development to be beneficial in the years to come. elizabeth per annum al jazeera jar and eastern india. the water levels of latin america, 2nd longest river, are at the lowest in 72 years, and there is no sign that the parent river will rise again any time soon. daniel swam le reports from the northeast of argentina, or charl,

glasgow, but of little time for the so called experts. they say they know what needs doing with the frustrated that money and politics seem to talk louder than common sense. i game is that i read one or jig it that much in normal, but we've got to start looking at what we're doing wrong before we can put it right . governments need to apply laws regarding the use of land, the way we treat nature. always looking to defend the environmental rainfall has diminished the locals blame hydro. electric projects built up stream, an ill plan bridges, but mostly massive deforestation. to make way for cattle and soil production, fast flowing streams become stagnant puddles will dry up altogether unsettling the delicate ecosystem. the waters of the barren i used to reach here. now they lie on the other side of those trees behind me with a residence, asking not just when, but if what they once knew as normality will ever return. now the very industries blamed for the crisis are also suffering. these vessels transporting agricultural

produce from paraguayan argentina must load less cargo or risk running a ground more journeys mean higher costs and increased pollution under this bill. yeah mm hm. but i can also, i shall all, we'll fight to get rid of the big landowners because they want this region to plant soya and mays will try to warn people so they don't ruin this region. if not with dead will have nothing. these are river people watching their way of life and the threat shout him to be heard. but in the meantime, surviving whichever way they can and praying for rain then we find their al jazeera, some federal argentina. ah, this is our desert. these jo, top stories, sedans, military leader has agreed with the us on the need to speed up the formation of

a new government. general abdel fatter albert hans office release a statement after speaking with the secretary of state antony blinkin.
