i saw regime in iraq and syria. now many are in camps, either orphans, all with a widowed mothers, rejected by their own communities kicking your length of people are going to welcome the mouth, the back. of course, mom and you documentary his, that chilling and traumatic stories for the children throw stones at me. iraq's last generation on al jazeera ah, the risk, the field, the a descending into a widening civil war is only to real the un security council. he has a dire assessment about ethiopians conflicts and a warning was only a small window of opportunity to act. ah, a welcome mind piece adobe. you're watching l to see or alive from doha. also

coming up, a caught ensued on orders, internet services should be restored. they have been widely blocked since the military takeover in october. the challenges facing volunteers, vaccinating children against polio in afghanistan and poland blocks more refugees and migrants trying to process from bella. luce accusing his neighbor, the orchestrating a crisis at the board. ah, the conflict in ethiopia to grind region is at risk of becoming a nation wide civil war. that's the warning today from the un security council, which mass was rebels threatened to march on the capital at the sapa? government forces had been battling them for a year. the african union envoys meeting the local leaders to push for de escalation. as mike hannah now explains, prompt the united nations. the message to the security council is clear. time is

short, the window to secure a mediated settlement to the conflict is closing. in a country over a 110000000 people over 90 different ethnic groups and 80 languages. 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 me. yeah, and i did not agree individually. train them political, political solution, through dialogue for author to say,

window of opportunity. but the high representative warm that the window of opportunity is small. the o. p and am bescedy 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 instead. 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 if it's the majority view,

perhaps reflected in the statement to the council by the u. k. emergency which said the dressing, 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. a court in sudan has ordered that internet services should be restored more than 2 weeks after most of them were blocked. the national consumer protection council suit telecommunication companies over the shut down the directors of those companies face arrest. of course decision isn't implemented. the outage was imposed to prevent protest and a campaign of civil disobedience after the military takeover at the end of october live now to khartoum. and i correspond at their hip morgan. so here a couple of hours since we last spoke is the internet back yet? well, despite the verdict from the general court saying that the internet should be restored

immediately, the answer is no. people who get their internet from their sim cards and from best cell phones still do not have access to internet. let's not forget that the shut down was for people who access internet only by a sim cards and by a cell phones. those who used to rely on internet via satellite and via fiber cables were still able to get it, although many complained that it was weaker than usual. and then it took them some time to upload their, their footage and sometimes to it was much slower to be able to access their email . so there was a certain degree of slowing down of the internet via fiber and via satellite. but they, those who rely only on sim cards, say that this was impossible and that it was impossible to access, even if they use the band to try to access the internet. now this is not the 1st time, but there's an internet shut down with a political crisis in for them back in 2019, just on the day of the what became known as the how to massacre 100 more than 100 pro democracy protest says were killed in front of the army headquarters. the

internet was shut down for nearly $37.00 days and it took on a court order for it to be restored. but then during that time, the political situation was much different when the internet was restored. there was negotiations between the political parties and the army, which was heading the country during that time. right now, there is no political, there is a solution to the current political crisis. so it's not clear if this is very big by the general court will be implemented or not. if company directors detained or arrested hippa, does that make the military authorities look bad though? while we have to wait and see if they would actually put the blame on the military, let's not forget that. we don't know exactly who issued the order at that time. on october 25th, the military was in charge. so it looks like on the surface that they're responsible for setting down the internet. but telecommunication companies do have a certain degree of independence, a certain degree of regulation, which should be away from the military and away from their control. and this is

where everything becomes glare. because it was between the military and civilian component of the den transitional government. right now, the military in charge. the civil component is not in existence and because there's no political solution, it's not clear who will take the blame. and if the companies will actually restore the verdict, or if they will wait to see in the higher authorities, the military, in this case case, will tell them to wait until a political solution is settled right now. there are still campaigns of civil disobedience. this will pulse from a protest by those who are opposing the military takeover and has been called for general strikes as well. so the mobilize ation amongst the people here and then not just the capital 2, but other parts of the country is still ongoing. so we're going to have to wait and see if the internet companies are the phone companies, the telecommunication companies, will respond to the, to the verdict that was issued by the general course. are they going to refer to the high court, which is the ultimate supreme judicial body in the country, or if they're going to listen to the military,

which is currently in charge and keep the internet shut down until this political situation is settled. hipaa. thank you very much. have a morgan that join his lie from come to the cop 26 climate talks in glasgow are focusing on the disproportionate, the fact that climate change has on vulnerable people that includes women who are more likely to live in poverty and be less able to move freely rules for carbon markets and payments to disadvantaged countries are also due to be discussed. countries of so far pledge to say forest and cut the use of methane, but they disagreed on how to cap a global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees under simmons is live for us there in glasgow. andrew, just take us through what they're discussing there today. well, gender equality is the issue and the u. k. is, is leading the way on this or by announcing 223000000 dollar payments out to a number of projects or some of them addressing the issues of homelessness for

vulnerable people because of climate emergencies in various parts of the world. busy and the parts of that money aimed at projects such as women's education and empowerment initiatives in places such as bangladesh and the a pacific. there is a growing concerned alarm if you will, about the balance between gender in addressing climate issues. and joining me right now to discuss this is renata, her name are you are from good welcome to al jazeera or your from the you and industrial development organization. and he worked in the middle east and indeed africa on many cleaner projects. would you say that women are engaged enough in, in the work that the crucial work is going on to address the issue of climate change? while thank you for putting a spotlight on this topic and i would say absolutely not. i mean,

i think if you look into this, that this thinks in fact not that a single country on earth has actually any or where close to meeting the gender parity. so there's nowhere where any country has really have a gender parity and we need more actions, of course, in developing countries where perhaps sometimes also the culture prevents also women from participating in the discussion around a climate change. so this announcements from the u. k is very welcome because we really need to put more emphasis on educating women on turning them from being victims of climate change to being agents that are really working on providing solutions that are targeted to tackle a to climate change. either an adaptation are meant to geisha you're bringing it in, so it's all on the issue because a lot of people think this is all about the, the fact that but women of victims who did you know, the un itself gives a figure of 80 percent of of those who are deprived of homes in chronic climate

emergencies, all women and children. but we're talking here about empowerment of women in an overall context of, of trying to tackle in a better way a climate change. tell me that, do you think of thought for too many middle aged men making important decisions globally about as crisis and there are women involved is a tokenism going on here that the absolutely, i mean, i think there is, i evidently, if you look around here, there's many panels that are on the what we call models there on the men panels in the negotiations. we see also a lot more men than women. but there's also a positive trend them in your calling a token ism, and maybe we need to actually set the bits of tokenism to just make sure that women are there at the forefront until it sort of becomes part of our dna and culture to make sure that women are part of that decision making process. how do you move this on that? i mean that, that, that there is obviously

a recognition that this is an issue. and it was recognized by the last cope and. busy 2 did were last corporate, which in which there was an actual plan, an action plan announced on gender equality, but the hasn't been much progress. not, not much as to say, there's always calls for action, but the key is to follow up on those after you called for the action. so one thing as an organization, we've been leading, following the high level dialogue, which is another important event that happens during this year is bringing together a coalition of countries, but also of partners that are working on the topic to identify 5 key areas in which we can really make a change in regards to bringing more women in the energy sector and for climate change. and these are education and making sure women have the right access to education, making sure that women have access also to resources because that's still an issue in many developing countries, supporting women and advancing their care. 2 years,

i mean when they are working in an organization like that, you and there should be also some career development to allow women to get into leadership. and then there's obviously as well, one very important element is we want to come into years and say we have so much progress. but unless we know what is the baseline we are at now, and where do we want to go? we can really track that progress and so, you know, having the right metrics and systems in place to really track the progress is going to be essential for us to come in 2 years and have this conversation. and me telling you we really managed to get some percent more women in the workforce or not. i am. thank you very much indeed for spending time explaining that to us with deduced from that, it's more about thinking and attitude and determination about the issues that is perhaps resources and money in this case. thank you very much. andrew simmons,

they are joining us live from cop 26 in glasgow to get this done. were the 1st polio vaccination campaign since the taliban came to power is being launched. the aim is to immunize millions of children against this crippling disease. ander's, mom and val reports the campaign signals, a change in policy towards vaccines, from the country's new rulers. medical volunteers in the african capital carbon going from door to door to deliver on type polio. but the problem that you do want to come point during this campaign around $1300000.00 children will be vaccinations . we have 7130 volunteers in carrying out the program. the ultimate aid, though is to reach old eligible children below 5 years old. a total of $10000000.00, including about $4000000.00 remote or previously inaccessible areas. benefiting vaccines. enough, gunston hasn't always been an easy process where they've got me out of them like

the challenge is massive when traveling between provinces. and there isn't much transportation. not easy for the teams to go to the rural areas, to vaccinate the kids. walks in lieu of a sudden we had to wait until afternoon because the regional counselor wasn't allowing us to start vaccinating. we got harassed on the road because we are women working on this program. before coming to paula, the tiny body portable he prevented the delivery of vac scenes in some of the areas under their control. they allegedly used to warn villages against the vaccines as a western plot to steady lives. muslim children, that stuff seems to have changed on the coaching, the now with the grace of allah. we look after all the 34 provinces and 400 districts. there is no conflict now. there is peace and coordination under the top to bottom. we are in coordination with all ministries, media groups, international health organizations, and donors aversion to vaccines,

a crisis escalates over refugees and migrants. bella roaches accused of encouraging the migrants to try to cross the border and retaliation against sanctions. the migrants themselves say they are trapped in an increasingly desperate situation. his sonic ego, the are chopped between the woods and the highway in batteries. these people have been walking towards the polish border, anxious to enter the european union. on the other side, polish security forces in riot gear, part of the 12000 that have been station that guarding the front here preventing hundreds of refugees and migrants from reaching the border. but it is a deadlock that risks igniting into another migration crisis. on the doorstep of the you. for month, thousands have been entering the block through bella ruth, at 1st via li, sweeney and latvia. now mainly through poland. the

e. u has accused bella ricin leader, alexander lucas shanker. of orchestrating wave upon wave of undocumented migrants and asylum seekers. in retaliation they say, for sanctions imposed on his government of 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 with no shelter. it was poland by bela risky and state border officials. some had taken the chance off, the hearing that bella was to travel agents was selling these invitations to the you only to find themselves surviving for weeks in the forest. the board of poland and belarus, the cuts are they. they provide everything then. but when you say when, when you said to them, ok, i want to go to say, i want to go, i want to go back to my country. so then they said, no,

you go to go on been they bought the gun to our heads when we were, when, when we said we need to go to minutes it so far, opponents, nationalist government has refused help from the use frontier agents, despite reports by polish border guards of hostile behavior and threats from better received 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 pawns between 2 hostile neighbors. funny guy. yeah, go al jazeera like to berlin and correspondent following that story for a dominant cane dom hi there. so the polish authority is reportedly dumb, moving, armed troops up to the border. is there a sense there that the anticipating trouble? yeah, it sounds like they are anticipating travel. i think that was the question. you

asked me repeated. slight intimate to break up on the line between us, but yes, very much. the polish thirties are taking the precautions that they consider to be necessary to deal with what they perceive to be the problem at the border. their shared border with beatrice. many polish officials, many polish politicians, might take heart from the way that european union officials and other leaders and heads of ministries in other e. u. member states have been saying effectively, a chorus of condemnation from across the continent. certainly here in berlin, but also in brussels. to we here support for, for poland, as i say, from differing levels of government from the president of the european commission, the german ursula fonder lions saying that she really deprecated applause. what she is going, the instrumentality zation of refugees calling on the brochure. government change its perspective here, she's also sent that sanctions further sanctions from an

e. u side of things should be imposed on yellows. and then in germany, you have the interior minister here, the caretaker interior minister has to be said. jose hoffa key ally of angular medical applauding the position of the polish government, particularly as it regards the erection of that fence along the border. one thing to point out though that has been said from an e perspective is that if poland feels it needs further support further material support for what it's doing. it only has to ask for us. is it just poland, dominic, or have other nato, an e u member countries seen a spike in the number of people trying to cross the borders? for the interesting thing here is we know also the lithuanian government, which remember is another government with a border with yellow roast. that's the border which the lithuanians have taken the same sort of approach the idea of the erection of fences and that sort of thing.

they to report that people have been trying to cross to cross their borders. it's not just remember the thing that that's in, that's intrinsic to this story is the twofold element. from a european perspective, the e wants to keep its interior, its inner borders wide open, where possible. but it's ausa borders not necessarily closed, but far more controlled if possible. i yesterday was at the border between poland and germany at frankfurt and an order that's an open border with a very discreet police presence. but even their german officials talking about the average over each week for the past 5 weeks coming into eastern germany from poland . more than a 1000 people all who want to claim asylum if possible, we don't know whether they go to get asylum or not. so to so problem here. the inner borders to the e wants to keep open the outer borders with the other us that it wants to keep very, very controlled. dominic, thank you very much. dominant came their report in life,
