the coalition calls itself the united front of ethiopian federalists, and can federalists forces. they say the government doesn't negotiate with them. they will attempt to use mantle it by force. as a response to the method of crisis facing the various nations of the country and to reverse the harmful effects of avi outlets autocratic rule to our peoples and beyond. we have to coordinate that the object need to collaborate and join our force towards a safe transition in the country. hence, harvey establish of the united front defeat the federalist and confederate forces. let's get more in the latest developments with alan fisher who's live for us in washington. they say hello there, alan, thanks for joining us. this group certainly isn't mincing words saying they'll attempt to dismantle the government by force. how significant is their formation? while they're signing coming,

as the state department here in the united states are just all americans to leave ethiopia saying that the security situation there is fluid at this group is a group of 9 groups, both political unarmed opposition that have come under one umbrella is certainly it's significant in that a number of these groups have literally been fighting with others in this coalition before they got together know in what is their united effort against the presumed enemy of abbot armies? government. no, i was speaking to an expert in african affairs in the last couple of hours. he's looked through the list of these names or organizations that have signed up to this . he doesn't recognize 2 or 3 of them. that's not to say that they're not well known, but he can't judge the level of support or the resources that they can bring in. he also said that number of diplomats who are in ethiopia might not recognize the names either. now this group says that they want a political transition, but as you see,

they are willing to go farther than that. and that is as some group see they are on the edge of the capital, addis ababa at the police chief, has said that that is not true. it is propaganda and lies. but a number of groups have said that they could be in the capitol within weeks, if not months. and certainly this group is doing this in washington to put pressure on the united states envoy who is in ethiopia at the moment, hoping that he can convince the prime minister to start some sort of political transition. this umbrella group accuses the prime minister of genocide and also ethnic cleansing. they see he has driven the economy into the grown and no is a time for change, which is why people who, until a few months ago were enemies, have got together against what they see as a common enemy. thank you very much for that update. plenty of living parts in his story. alan fish alive for us in washington, dc, and now gentle as samuel again,

joe has more on the story from the capital at is of about so far, the u. s. embassy and the server has been telling its citizens, most of them, if you open canadians. i mean, if you've been americans, i'm sorry, who have we're living in ethiopia. said they're willing to even financially support them so they can leave it because the u. s. according to the u. s. side, this conflict is getting close to a d'silva and it's certain to fake money of citizens of but the invoice of the president biden has just left and we're not sure if he had a chance to meet with the prime minister who has insisted that the us government is in support of the left, the support them, they give them weapons. it's been our lease by the fuel inside. but this comes us

because need in us with us, the killian and you gun the president push ethiopia, and the t p are left to sit down and find some common ground. but the development we're watching from a distance in washington d. c. the ethiopian side has just reacted. the justice minister has called the 9 coalition with a 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 to iraq now where more than 100 people have been injured in protest against election results, security forces have 5 in the air and use t gas to try to suppress the crowds demonstrated say they've been involved wigging and reject the outcome of the election mode up the why head is in baghdad with move these are the supporters of the political party. the last in the election. they are trying to put pressure on the government to put pressure on the electoral

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, where it's military later has ordered the relief for civilian cabinet ministers who were detained in last month, military take 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 blink, and general abdel fata, albert said he agreed on the need to accelerate the formation of a government un secretary general. antonia good tara's also spoke to han on thursday and urged him to restore the transitional process. meanwhile,

al prime minister of dela handle remains under house arrest, but the u. s. and the u. n. a pricing for his full release and reinstatement, and the u. n's held and regency session on sudan, the high commissioner for human rights as the military take over there is deeply disturbing. she's called for the end to the end of deadly use of force by the army and police will protest are expected later on friday. here morgan found this report from the capital top cartoon. 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 are 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 of 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 nation, the you and the national figures as well as neighboring south for them. but right after the announcement of the release late on thursday, the 4th 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 been arrested following a meeting with the un mission here. incident after tense in fighting among the democratic legislators, the us house of representatives is poised to vote on 2 major bills. the nearly 3 trillion dollar economic plans are keystone of jo biden's domestic agenda. kimberly hallett has moved from washington dc. we are hearing that these are expected to be voted on in the house of representatives. it had been scheduled for thursday evening that did not happen, but the house speaker nancy pelosi is very careful to make sure that when she schedules a vote it's likely to pass. and so that is why there may have been a little bit of a delay, but oh, what democrats are arguing is that something this monumental takes time to work out

. and certainly we have seen this process carried out over many months. initially, republicans had said much of this legislation was too expensive and that's why they wouldn't support it. in fact, we still don't expect that they will. but their problem became that even some democrats had some issues with the legislation that is proposed back by the white house that will as expand the social safety net in the united states. and also create jobs by rebuilding america's infrastructure to different pieces of legislation. both expected to be voted on and when they do both get voted on, they are expected to pass. and what we should point out in all this is that it will dramatically change life in the united states at once. this legislation becomes law because what this will do is it will lock normally trans from the social safety net in the united states, but will also see things that joe joe biden promised on the campaign trail. for example, make you sure that millionaires and trillion areas and billionaires that they,

information methods applied against us, euro me, right. i once ministry of foreign affairs has welcomed the 7 member group while calling the visit significant way, but it comes at a precarious period. in the past few weeks, a china has been increasing its military pressure on ty wine by sending an unprecedented number of fighter jets into its air defense zone beijing as warrant e or officials of possible sanctions. it continues to maintain a one china policy and considers tie one to be a breakaway province, drove out into all of on china goose the european union, the correct it's mistakes and not assemble wrong signals, but they want independence forces, so as not to have a serious impact on china, you relations away, either official, say isolating taiwan is with fuels. the dispute between the ireland and b ging,

delivering the the fact that they point the finger to cronin directly after everything that happens here and lots and lots of people, thousands of houses still have damage and our government fails to resolve their, the problems of the people and then pointing the finger at cronies. while our safety is at stake, the government says god from holding a 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 fills its 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. the supply in 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 northridge to pipeline. between russia and germany, we are able to keep warm people here can only hope for miles 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 us raise questions,
