reverse the harmful effects of avi ottomans autocratic rule to our peoples and beyond. we have coordinated the object need to collaborate and join our force towards a safe transition in the country. hence, hobby establish of the united front of the federalist and confederate forces will be live in addis ababa where samuel get a child is standing by for us. but 1st, let's go to alan fisher in washington, d. c. hello there, ellen. this group certainly isn't mincing words saying, well, attempt to dismantle the government by force. how significant is these groups formation go? there are 9 groups. they are armed and political opposition. they have got together here in washington dc to sign this agreement. they say that they want a political solution, but clearly they're leaving all options open at the of accused that the prime minister of genocide and also ethnic cleansing. they say he is running down the

economy, he's involved in a war that is just dragging ethiopia and the entire region don't. and that is why they want to see a change in the country. interestingly enough, speaking to one african expert in the last couple of hours, he looked at the list of the 9 groups and he said he didn't recognize 2 or 3 of them. and it was unsure of the level of support that they would bring. and also the level of resources that they could provide. but what is significant is that in this group of 9, there are groups that have been fighting each other that have no combined together in the idea that they are united against a corner common enemy. and they see that as being the prime minister of ethiopia. certainly there are groups inside ethiopia who see that they are very close to the capital that has been dismissed by the head of the police there. he says that is simply lies and propaganda. the government says that this group has no electoral support nor backing a tall, but they will argue that they are popular support. and the reason that they got

together here in washington dc was to put some pressure on the u. s. envoy who's there in the horn of africa over the next few days, to perhaps try and convince the prime minister abbot amad that it is time for a political transition that perhaps he should consider widening his government and bringing in some of these groups that are saw or paused to his regime at the moment to his government. at the moment these groups see there they are a weeks and perhaps months away from addis ababa. clearly that is something that the common government with european would be very concerned about. certainly indeed, alan fish alive for us. they are. let's get the latest on the ground now and bring in generalized samuel get a child who is live for us in at his abba. we heard just then from allen about what's happening there, but the us is also edging it citizens to leave ethiopia. what murray? hearing about this warning? well, so far, the u. s. embassy and the some of our has been telling its citizens,

most of them, if you're open canadians, i mean, if you're going americans, i'm sorry, who have, who are, who are living in ethiopia, said they're willing to even financially support them. so they can leave. if you will, because the u. s. according to the u. s. side, this conflict is getting close to the suburbs and it's certain to affect us money of citizens. but in boy of, you know, the president biden has just left us and we know sure if he had a chance to meet with the prime minister who has insisted that the u. s. government is in support of the t p left. they support them. they give them weapons, it's been our lease by the feel inside. but this comes, us become need in as well as the kenyan. and you got the president push. yorba and the t p. i left to sit down and find some common ground. but the development we're

watching from a distance in washington dc. the ethiopian side has just reacted. the justice minister has called the 9 coalition, with the mission of defeating the government. what it, what they're doing. he's described it as publicity stunt, and it's not being taken seriously in, within the sub over. thank you for the update from ethiopia, samuel, get a chart live for us in is aba 2 iraq now and more than 100 people have been injured in protest against election results, security forces of fide in the air and used gas to try to disperse the crowds demonstrated say there's been boat rigging and reject the outcome of the election mob mode. after a while head is in baghdad and fall disrupting these are the supporters of the political party. the last in the election. they're trying to put pressure on the government to put pressure on the commission to change what they consider the fraud

. they accuse the election commission of vote rigging. now days flashes have resulted in over 120 injuries. and they have been reactions from political parties, from politicians, and also government officials. they have been calling for called of the security forces have finally managed to take control of one area near the green, the green zone. the area that witnessed the vital security forces used to gas canisters, and it was also skipped. the horses were also shooting and shooting in the air to disperse the protesters. now these protests day, the majority of them we can say, are military individuals. they belong to the popular mobilization forces and

popular mobilization forces. these are the military arms of the political parties that last in the elections. and they have been brought here in the green zone to try to put pressure on the government to put pressure on the electoral commission to change what they consider fraud in the election results. to sedan now, and it's military later, has ordered the release of 4 civilian cabinet ministers who were detained in last month, military tank over that says international pressure intensive eyes to reach a deal on return to power sharing with civilian ladies in a phone call with us secretary of state antony, blinking, general abdel fata, albert said he, great on the need to accelerate the formation of governments. you secretary general, antonia good tear is also spoke to burton on thursday and urged him to restore the transitional process. meanwhile, after prime minister of dela hum dock remains under house arrest,

but the u. s. and the un pressure pressing rhonda for his full release and reinstatement and the u. n's head of emergency session held an emergency session on sir dan. the high commissioner for human rights said the military takeover they is deeply disturbing. she's called for an end to the use of deadly force by the army and police. more protests are expected later on friday he'd been, morgan is in costume and fall. this report. while there's been various called mediation efforts to really not just the 4 ministers who have been released, but all the political prisoners, including members of the, of the transitional government that has been dissolved to have them all released. those who have been released or the minister of trade, the minister of communication, the minister of information and the minister of youth and sports. however, the minister in the cabinets of the prime minister is still under detention. he still under rest and his family say his whereabouts are still unknown. this also to

advise this to prime minister of the lamb dog as well as this book for some of the now dissolved sovereignty counsel. so many other senior government officials still remain under arrest. it mediation efforts are still ongoing between the 2 sides, but there's still yet to be any concrete result produce the united states and the you and both call for the reinstating of prime minister, the lam dog who is also still under house arrest. and it's not free to me, even the cabinet members who have been, who have not been arrested. many of them have without messages saying that despite the fact that they will part of his governance, which has been dissolved, they cannot meet with the prime minister because he is under house arrest. now all of this comes as mediation efforts continue between the 2 sides with the help of the united nations, the un and national figures as well as neighboring south for them. but right after the announcement of the release late on thursday, the 14th of freedom and change coalition put out the statement that the top official members of the coalition. and that's the coalition that has led anti government protest movement during the december 2018 up to april 2019 revolution,

which saw the president bashir overthrown. that movement now says that 3 of us officials have an a record following a meeting with the un mission. here and couldn't a cane in use just in swedish, tina activist climate activists credit tom berg is speaking at the called the 26 protest in glasgow. let's listen in mid conference. this is now a global clean wash festival. ah, do we glue celebration of business as usual and blah, blah blah. hm. the most affected people in the most efficient areas still remain unheard. and the voices of few huge generations are drowning in the green wash and empty words and promises.

but the facts do not lie, and we know that our emperors are naked to stay below the targets set in the post agreements and thereby minimizing the risk of setting off your boastful chain reactions. beyond the human control, we need immediate, drastic, and your emission cost, unlike anything that well has ever seen. and as we don't have the technological solutions that alone will do anything even close to that. that means we will have to fundamentally change our society. is the uncomfortable result of our lead us repeatedly failure to address this crisis at the current emissions race or remaining c o 2 budgets to give us the best. chances are same below 1.5 years celsius will be gone within the end of this decade. and the climate in ecological crisis, of course, doesn't exist in

a vacuum. it is directly tied to other crises and injustices that they back to colonialism and beyond. crises based on the idea that some people are worth more than others and therefore had the right to steal others that like others and steal their land and resources. and it is very naive of us to think that we could. so this crisis without addressing the root cause of it. but this is not going to be spoken about inside the car, is just too uncomfortable. it's much easier for them to simply ignore the historical depth of the countries of the global not have to what's the most effective people in areas. and the question we must now ask ourselves is, what is it that we are fighting for? are we fighting to save ourselves and the living planet? or are we fighting to maintain business as usual?

only to say that we can have both. but the harsh truth is that that is not possible in practice. the people in power can continue to live in their bubble filled with their fantasies like eternal growth on a finite planets and technological solutions. they will suddenly appear see many out of nowhere and will erase all of these crisis just like that. all this while the while the world is literally bound binding on fire. and while the people living on the front lines are still there in the bronze of the climate crisis, they can continue to ignore the consequences of their inaction. but history will judge them poorly. and we will not accept it. ah, we don't need any more distant non binding pledges. we don't need any more empty

promises. we don't need any more commitments that are full of loopholes, an incomplete statistics, and then ignored historical emissions and climate justice. yet that is all that we are getting and know that it's not radical to say, just look at their track record. they have had 26 cups. they've had decades of blah. * blah blah, and where has that led us? oh, sense of almost c o 2 emissions have occurred since 1990 and about a 3rd since 2005 all this while the media is reporting on what people empowers, say that they are going to do rather than what they actually do. time and time again, the media fails to hold the people who are responsible for their action and in action. yes,

they continue to expand to fossil fuel infrastructure, opening up new coal mines, coal power plants, grunting new oil licenses, and still refusing to do even the bare minimum, like delivering, delivering on the long promised climate sign as follows and damage to the most vulnerable and least responsible countries, this is shameful. now, people say that we are being too radical, but, but the truth is that they are the ones who are radical. fighting to save our lives, supporting systems isn't radical at all. believing that our civilization, as we know it can survive a 2.7 degree where 3 degree hold the world. on the other hand, it's not only extremely radical. it's your madness. ah, okay, let's bring you know,

environment edited me clack, who joins me live now from glasgow. nick, we've just been hearing from youth activists credit thornburg, and there's lots of other young, thousands of young people where you are. and they've all read a rated their assessment of the cop $26.00 summit is little more than brain washing . how is her speech being received? me? her little tricky. you better? yeah. credit them good speaking they are you told of this youth leave and she was moved to london when she rides on the way to applause. go through his molten gloves . go when she don't. yeah. she's probably more when she gets off stage is to say the, the person who really should offer youth will be back in 2000. nathan, starting the as full strikes on fridays and now demanding that all those negotiate is in the conference. all 2 or 3 kilometers away from here. sit up, listen, take notice and then take action saying that the lead is not doing nothing. they are continuing to make things worse. what do we want climate justice is what you

say. say what, let's bring in now that you fact best we can speak now to monica. come on, bruce from the foothills of mount kenya. what, how important is britta simberg to the whole process of trying to get something done on climate change? would you say? oh, gotcha. is this symbol of every a young person who is experiencing climate prices. and she is a role model for a lot of young people, for example, in kenya, who would never make it to especially the captain to seats when she speeds about green washing, for example. and telling people in 2050 we'll, we'll be talking of net 0, but not really addressing between now and 2050. what will you be doing? because we have that d as where you can pollute environment as you want. as long as in 202050. you are able to be in an ed 0 position,

so green washing this discussions when she talks about that it hits home because the reality on the ground, a people in kenya, people in lake county where i and you are not talking of climate change in that is that talking? loved credit, didn't know yet what kind of things they're experiencing. they're talking about flattening. that is happening because they're in for has been falling since late. mike, with a lot of rain for a means a lot of food on the funds have been washed away, which means at the end of the year, we're also looking at as if we who are people will be hungry and provide to will increase. because if you lost your foot, not one, then you have no food in december, which means you have to find another way to get food and can use another better country. 80 percent of us depend on our phones, which means it will be a whole country developing. ok, monica, do appreciate that. thanks very much indeed. and so to greg has spoken that is the end of pretty much the end of the youth march tomorrow. we'll be back, harry damon,

george square, whether to a global day approach us taking place. we'll see you then. thanks for the update. nick clack live for us in glasgow. china is battling its most widespread coven 19 outbreak since the virus was 1st identified in wu han at last year. the countries recorded more than 900 cases since last month. visuals have maintained a 0 tolerance approach to the pandemic. defending the use of severe and sudden locked downs. katrina, you reports from badging. it's supposed to be the happiest place on earth. but earlier this week, the dizzy land theme park in shanghai became a temporary prison. authorities promptly shot exit after a visitor from the previous day tested positive for corvette 1934000 guests, but prevented from leaving before being tested for the virus. china is battling to contain its most widespread outbreak since the epidemic began last year. hundreds

attendance as a former president obama and george w bush in 2003 pal addressed the un, where he falsely accused a rock of having weapons of mass destruction. elated spoke of his regret in making the case for war. let's bring him out. correspondent feel. lavelle who is alive for us outside the cathedral. hello, there. feel it? as i mentioned, joe biden and former presidents are there. who else are we expecting at the memorial? yeah, i mean, this is a very well attentive memorial. it's just getting underway now. secretary powell kaufman was brought in about 5 or so minutes ago. and what they are doing is they have marking this, not just his military career and his political career, but also you know, him as a family man, as a father, as a grandfather, you know, personal touch as morning including the president, joe biden were coming into the cathedral, they were playing the music of abbot dancing queen because said,

we want to call them house favorite bands. but as i say this is being attended by all sorts of people. so you've got the likes the president by the 1st lady joe biden, but you've also got former president brock, obama, michelle, bob, you've got george w bush, shonda, who code and how served a secretary of state along with laura bush and also hillary clinton for the secretary of state herself and a presidential candidate. in fact, the only former president of recent times that is not that is donald trump, a man who called in paul a described as dangerous and with whom there was little love loss. he's going to be you the joyce by 3 people. he's going to be utilized by richard armitage, who served on the colon polish deputy secretary, also madeline albright, who herself was one of his predecessors and his son michael as by mark this law say mark is achievements and his passing in october, october 18th, when he died from those complications as a result of a cobra, 1900 infection, he was vaccinated. but he was also in that high risk on the rule a category. he's suffered from

a number of medical conditions for my blood cancer parkinson's disease and it was not which ended up taking his life feel. tell us a little bit more about who column. how was and his role when he was for me, you a secretary of state. yeah, i mean he was, well, it might be a number of reasons. i mean, he wasn't a career politician. he was a military man. he's a retired, retired 4 star general. he had seen action to be to vietnam. he'd been worried that he received a metal to saving soldiers lives. but he also had incredible achievements. he was the 1st african american to become the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. he was the 1st african american to rise to the position of secretary of state, a hugely influential position, probably the top diplomat abroad to be united states. but he was also remembered for that speech. you just mentioned back in 2003 when he appeared before the un security council. and he made the case for invading iraq. it was something he later said that he regretted. he said that it was

a loss on his career. he said it was painful then painful now and he retired in many ways for public life. he left that role in 2004. he then went on those to break francs as a republican and endorse the democratic nominees. he endorsed brock a bama handles. henry clinton and he endorse terabytes. thank you very much for that update feel lavelle for us outside the washington national cathedral. i think i just content myself i the netherlands is considering reopening a controversial gas field to deal with a severe fuel shortage. the government says it may be forced to reactivate the facility after russia delivered less gas than promised. the shortage has driven up prices before winter. that vessels reports from gunning going this is the largest natural gas field in europe. it lies in corning, it in the north of the netherlands. after decades of providing gas production is now nearly come to a halt. earthquake caused by gas. this reaction led to legal battles and thousands

of claims from people whose houses were severely damaged. like the 1900 century farm belonging to animal, the height and her husband albert, which had to be demolished. the couple rejects a suggestion that europe might need more gas from coney than if russia is not delivering the the fact that they point their finger to cloning and directly after everything has happened here and lots and lots of people, thousands of houses still have damage and our government fails to resolve their product, the problems of the people, and then pointing the finger at cronies. while our safety is at stake, the government says guy from coding will only be used in case of a severe winter or any other crisis. a shortage of supply from russia could mean just that. what we're lacking here is about 1015000000000 tubes of gas. that's exactly the amount the gas problem has not been supplying via sport sales to europe . rush and gas company gas from usually filled it storage facility at europe's

largest open access gas rather for the amsterdam. now it's less than one 3rd fool. the same as happened that 5 other facilities used by gas from and germany and austria. they're usually filled with gas at the start of winter as the dotted line shows. but this year, as the orange line shows deliveries have stopped supplying europe is say about 10 percent less than what europe is asking for. and you have somebody doing that well, it can only speculate, but they could potentially they could fill the the storage. yes. and it's up to put in after all, he's got to say everything. the scuffle probably is doing is being determined by a precedent to many people. in europe have speculated that russia is not sending more gas to put pressure on the e. u to approve the controversial notes for him to pipeline. between russia and germany, we are able to keep warm people here can only hope for a mild winter because the storage facilities might not be able to provide enough

gas. when it gets really cold. weather russia will send more. oh, not this 2 and a half kilometers deep reservoir. it's nearly empty and it shows how dependent on russian gas europe has become. this has raised questions, especially in the netherlands, where many hold russia are responsible for the downing of malaysian airline. i made 17 that killed nearly 200 dutch in 2014. they will continue to speak out on human rights and i'm at 70. and we will work to worse and more diversified energy policy. are you frustrated at the moment by the frustration there isn't help anybody a server as i sat, there is no reason to worry for the ordinary dutchman guess supplies in incoming winter. so only when there's a severe winter, until there is no reason to worry, it might mean that you will have to use as but 2 people in holding this will be

unacceptable. they say the government should 1st compensate victims of earlier earthquakes and not create new ones. steadfast and al jazeera calling and and you can get the latest news and much more on our website, just paid to the address, which is out there a dot com ah, hello, what she is here. and these are the top stories. this, our several ethiopian anti government groups in washington, d. c. have signed an agreement to form an alliance against prime minister abbey ahmed. it comes in ethiopia as ami calls on former soldiers to join. it's 5 against rebels.
