no one can predict what continued fighting and insecurity will bring. but let me be clear. what is certain is that the risk of ethiopia descending into a widening civil war is only to real. the council was addressed remotely by the african representative, leaving mediation efforts. all these other in the north agree individually. trained them political, political solution, through dialogue. therefore, constitutes a window of opportunity. but the high representative warm that this window of opportunity is small, the e c o p, and am better made his country's position clear. we remind everyone concerned that there are no 2 parties here. there is

a government representing the all of the people and representing these have been step and there is a group advancing. it's a criminal close through atrocities. it's a stance that has the support of some members of the council, especially russia, which is privately insisted that an elected government should not be asked to negotiate. because forces attempting to unseat it. the security council president has insisted there's no division on the issue. and it does appear that all agreed on to point that there's a vital need for humanitarian assistance and that it's the african union that should take the lead in mediation efforts. the majority view perhaps reflected in the statement to the council by the u. k. emergency which said, addressing the humanitarian and human impact of the conflict should be the immediate focus. it continued. it's past time for all parties to put the e p o p, and people 1st. my kinda era united nations never use

you. for months, thousands have been entering the block through bella. ruth, at 1st via lithuania and latvia, now mainly through poland. the e. u has accused belarus in leader, alexander, look a shanker of orchestrating wave upon wave of undocumented migrants and asylum seekers. in retaliation they say, for sanctions it imposed on his government over its violent crackdowns on the opposition court in the middle of his brinkman ship. those attempting to escape the harsh conditions they find themselves in it, no shelter being to steer towards poland by bela rusty and state border officials. some had taken a chance after hearing that bella was sim travel agents was selling these invitations to the you only to find themselves surviving for weeks in the forest. that board of poland and belarus began with us. the cut of the year,

they provide the return then, but when you say when, when you said to them, i want to go to take, i want to go. i want to go back to my country. well done. they said no, you go to go on. they put the gun to our head when we were when, when we said we need to go to minutes, if so far, opponents, nationalist government has refused help from the use frontier agency, despite reports by polish border guards of hostile behavior and threats from better routine forces for those stuck in this no man's land, there is no guarantee how long they will have to face the elements with little access to food and water. human porn between 2 hostile neighbors. funny guy, yeah, go al jazeera, the u. s. has reopened its borders to all vaccinated travelers for the 1st time in 20 months. visitors from more than 30 countries had been banned since early 2020.

when corona vice restrictions were imposed, land borders between mexico and canada. i have also reopened. john holman, is in tihano and the us mexico border actually were in the sunny c through which is the busiest border crossing point in the americas. you can see the cars sort of rolling down here going towards the united states. so united states checkpoints, united states officials here, and the people that live in this city, tiquana, they've got a really cross border lifestyle. they've got call to the if you're a resident into one or you can go 25 miles into the united states. so a lot of people do that for their shopping, where they want to go to restaurants when they want to go to cinema increased when they want to see family. and they want to see friends who are the over the other side of the united states. so it's a really big deal for them. the people that women speaking to that they've been able to get back into that. of course, there's another population in cities like pick one or met school board with the united states, not so floating migrant population. many of them wanting to seek asylum in the

united states. the want to get into that country where they feel that they're going to have a better future. we spend time with some of those people as well. some of them are in a tank cap that just by the side of the buddha, and obviously this is going to be a different situation for them. the part of this border, the restrictions are easing permit, can locals to get back across and visitors does not gonna change the situation for them. that do remains as firmly closed as it was done before. so there is a different situation for the different population to melanie lieberman is a senior travel editor at the point sky, which is an online travel blog. she says, lifting the restrictions marks a turning point. the infrastructure is in place, it's been developing, but it is a logistical challenge. and one thing that travelers have to keep in mind is that there are ongoing staffing shortages across the industry. so really, i think one of the things that travellers are going to need to think about, particularly if they're traveling abroad for the 1st time,

is that they should expect delays. they should expect some different challenges along the way as this system gets up to speed. certainly leaving extra time to have your documents check reporting is going to be really critical. it will take some time, but we're already seeing huge demands right now. travelers can still expect some good deals on international flights, but we expect those prices to rise as demand increases. and that capacity comes back online. but certainly this is a huge opportunity for airlines, which is really a major international hubs for the hotel industry, which is the waiting to fill rooms. i mean, this is such a significant turning point because it affects so many travellers, and i think that's one of the really key things here. and that is a major turning point, but it's going to take some time to see just how long it takes for that recovery to really show. meanwhile, denmark is very imposing, covered 19 restrictions less than 2 months after scrapping measures. it's in

forces, something that has eluded them for years. amnesty international is predicting that there will be a new wave of repression against critics of the government following the selection, which should only fan the number of people who are fleeing from the country and looking for refuge elsewhere. like here in costa rica record numbers of nicaraguan tal ready joining others central americans in their quest to reach the united states. adding more pressure to an already unprecedented migration crisis in the region. to see in human al jazeera san jose costa rica, former george in president mikhail saca. she really has been transferred to a prison hospital has been on a hunger strike for more than a month while in jail sack. actually, supporters have been holding ronnie's to call for his release. he was arrested last month when he returned from exile after being convicted in absentia. of abuse of power. time is running out fast. the message from former us present barack obama.

he was speaking at the comp 26 summit in glasgow. obama praise the progress made since the 2015 parish climate deal, but warned it's not enough collectively and individually. we are still falling short. we had not done nearly enough to address this crisis. we are going to have to do more and whether that happens or not to a large degree is gonna depend on you. not just those of you in this room. but anybody who's watching or reading a transcript of what i say it made seizure now tan is with youth advocates for climate action in the philippines. she says, world leaders need to do more to fight global warming. former president obama pledged the $100000000000.00 us dollar climate finance for countries in the global

south in 2009. that was the same year that they will get. santa devastated the philippines and i 1st experience that very real fear of grounding in my own bedroom and my home being washed away by the floods and these scenes of typhoons washing away for homes by thousands and people be started a rooftop. it's still happening in the philippines today, and today you still don't have that $100000000000.00 us dollars per year. climate finance like a promise. and what we need right now is drastic emission, but and reparations from the global market, the global stuff, so that we can adapt and bounce back from all these impacts. i am confident that it has to happen. that doesn't mean that i am happy and congratulating them for doing the bare minimum. it means i remain critical. i won't say now that oh, you're not going to be able to do it because then that gives them like an excuse. well, you don't believe in me. ok, whatever you give up,

know today we have to remain critical. we have to hold them accountable. all the pledges and make sure that they do actually do this. i'm seeing some positive steps such as nicholas sturgeon's support into the lawson damage fund. specifically, i think that is so crucial and so important that we need to see more of that. but we also have to make sure that when we talk about climate finance, it's not in the form of debt or loans but in the form of grants. because otherwise we go into that. are countries that are impacted by the impacts going to that the same countries that are causing the climate prices in the 1st place and they get some profit scheme in denise res, hoping that it can reduce its dependence on fossil fuels by turning to solar energy construction of its 1st floating solar power plant is underway, the facility is expected to power more than $50000.00 homes. demand for the solar technology is growing in se asia with several major projects recently finished or

in development. jessica washington has a story. in thailand, yvonne, russia tiny province, the seed and torn damn has been part of this landscape since the 19 seventy's ill to function as both a hydropower and irrigation facility for decades. these waters have also provided fishermen here with their livelihoods. now it takes on a new role as the site of ages newest floating solar power project. this is the starting point that we can go to deploy in the 30 year after. this is the starting point that nice the for a quick check for the clean the renewable energy, the hybrid hydro solar projects began commercial operations in october and consists of more than 140000 solar panels. thailand is still highly dependent on fossil fuels. something it has in common with neighboring countries, but demand for renewable energy is growing. and experts say floating sola is an

ideal fit for many countries in se asia, most of the benefit is that you require a little, you know, land to put on. so there is no land or oxidation fee and the area with high population density, good grid access and high energy demand may, you know, the floating system will be a choice. se asia is now home to several floating solar projects and more are in the early stages of development. this is the toronto reservoir in west java, we're in denisia supposed to floating solar power plant is being developed. the early stages of construction are underway and it should be operational by late next year. it will be the 1st of many here in indonesia, the $100.00. this video shows what the final project will look like. as or, or goal is to show indonesia is capable of building floating solar panels,

the biggest in se, asia. there are also cost saving benefits. vanessa combined is slightly more expensive than ground mounted solar panels. but because the temperature is low in the risk of war, the output will be higher. many southeast asian countries have announced their aim to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 or shortly after floating solar technology may be an important part of realizing those goals. jessica washington al jazeera pundum ah logan, i'm fully back the ball. with the headlines on al jazeera, the un security council has warned. the conflict in ethiopia. dr. region could file into a civil war. it's calling for an end to the fighting and urging dialogue. in a country over a 110000000 people over 90 different ethnic groups.
