ah, ah ah, ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello, kim vanelle, this is ben. use all live from door coming up in the next 60 minutes. ethiopians government denies targeting to grinds based on their ethnicity is it comes under pressure to release dozens of detained united nation staff. this is the attempt of an authoritarian regime to try to destabilize it's democratic neighbors. european union chief says the block will wide and sanctions on individuals and to

claims in the past week that they have captured towns on the main highway to adopt alba with the head of the therapy and human rights commission. daniel keller says he's deeply concerned about the mass arrest of ethnic to grinds. since the state of emergency has been declared in europe. yeah. they have any more ice commission has been monitoring and following up saturday stuff, not just 16, but actually hundreds of different. and there appears to be ethnic elements to the saturdays, which what he says in a sense largely ethnic the grants. i've been targeted to for house search and race. and we've been following up the case so far, hundreds of people. i do understand that the state of images, he gives power to the police to suspect 2 are raised people on the grounds of

reasonable suspicion. but we are concerned about our risk of the state of emergency and directives to being applied in the wrong way, which is why we have already expressed a concern and we continue to morning tat database. so several people read one. hussein is ethiopia states minister for foreign affairs. i spoke with him a while ago and he denies the allegations of arbitrary detention. there is no systematic iris scenes. the state of emergency is actually funded by the government, then people are jail and so citizens are watching out their neighborhoods and each other for possible attacks. so people might, might inform the police if they see something unusual with something i missed, the police might have added that. some individuals i kind of allows that, but if a novice is done, i take it to not be from why didn't grew up,

it would be from walks of life if there is any kind of information for the police. but if the police doesn't educate reason to suspect, then it would be released. so this is very much an interesting time and people might be caught my step ended. but it won't be out of their background to be very clear. you cannot tell us why these people have been arrested, but you are telling us that as far as your concerned people are not being arrested based on their ethnicity. i want to ask you about the 16 un personnel and some 70 drivers for the world food program, who've been detained by ethiopian authorities. can you tell us why people anywhere? because you know, we're not in any conflict and, and a number of paris gross might have their own elements us. and if the police might have found out some suspect, then they will be bound to pay and then also to do investigation. if any individual

does not have adequate evidence to judge against them, you must be released but are pending. some people will not get that my truck systematic, but because we're in complex situation, you know, how many people are being attacked and how many adults are being done. and then you know, a number of actors. so you must have been much careful individual and that that being said must be done in the hospice at the lee and then police must do their job . but we would also look into that the process, if there is any ever collaborative in the address. and they said it might so and, but i don't think they will do that. but if that's that somebody got it about a day when the stuff dad knows, obviously just because working for anyone, an institution, a state of emergency, a nation wide state of emergency has been announced. but i just want to be clear on what you just said. so you're saying that these people have been detained from the united nations and the world food program who have been taking, attempting to take much needed aid into the try region. that they are accused of being part of a terrorist group. is that right?

that that left, that must be left for the police, then i don't have that that did because i'm not in the investigation team. but if it could be a tipped off for any kind of a regular activities and police multiple day job, if they don't have any evidence, it will be released. but it's not because they are working for him. it's an activities. it's not because they are loading that money and food because if that is so there are more than $800.00 tracks which are held by t p live and now carrying trucks carrying a combatant is from which entered from are carrying food. now they are transporting combatants in law and also going to a t s. so if that happens, then that's what criminal activity. so we'll get it all as live for us now and already some of our thank you. so it had conflicting statements fair. we heard from a representative for the government saying actually no to grinds and not being targeted based on their new city. but the human rights commission has said, actually there isn't an ethnic element. well, it's, it's,

it's good to know that the ethiopian human rights commission as a government agency, so aware here in conflicting reports, that there has been lots of detention at the moment. many of them are saying they're being attacked, they're being detained because of their ethnic backgrounds. but the, your brand side insist this has nothing to do is once ethnic background, but has everything to do with detaining people that the deem are and support or providing support to the t p. i left that to grandparents liberation front and wish the government accused us of being a terrorist organization. this comes to us. the conflict are begun in november of last year. moves forward again. there are many attempts to settle this at the table of the u. s. the united states in boy to honked the horn of africa was

in id some of our trying to speak to different actors. trying to settle this. the ugandan president is looking at the hosting and as a leader summit next week, trying to cover this conflict that has really our faith that millions of people, again, the u. n. has 69 of its staff members are still in detention. this comes are 72 drivers of w, p r. now in detention again that there is a mainstream kind of accusation by the ethiopian side that the u. n. must well as the united states, as and support of the t p a left somehow going on. even accusing off up providing weapons to the t p, a left dot, they see us as a terrorist organization. again, the difference between the 2 actors remains day and night and there doesn't, there doesn't seem to be any closing insight. and why should i add that the year annually when have rejected any allegations that they're supporting the t p i left

and just tell me i know how difficult or otherwise is it to travel outside and i these nava is a journalist right now to report on on what is happening it remains difficult, but people do travel and then journalists travel always hours and i dumber town and the last 3 days. and it seems to be a peaceful. i haven't seen anything doctors suspicious, or that makes one believe that the tpr left is closing in are the some about us has been, are laced by international media. when al jazeera spoke to the minister, the state minister read one who sin, she singled out a few of our colleagues in other media saying that they are distributing fake news or something that is really causing the public to be and panic. and bring some kind

of uncertainty to add the supper, which is an important city. but more in many embassies, including african nations, including zambia, are continue to take their citizens away from the seller book. fearing that this conflict is indeed coming to the suburbs. but again, the japan side insists it's far away. it's not coming to our dc, the only acknowledge of fighting happening and dusty and in culture. and you'll get a to for us in id, some of our thank you the us and china are releasing a joint statement to the comp 26 climate summit and glasgow. it is seen as a breakthrough pledge earlier the u. k. prime minister, abbas johnson said, negotiations are at a critical stage. he's calling on more action to keep the planet from warming more

than 1.5 degrees u. k. release to draft agreements, asking leaders to revisit and strengthen their 2030 targets by late next year. let's go now to andrew simmons. there's live for us in glasgow. andrew, i believe we are hearing that joint pledge being announced. now i think that's what's happening, but 1st i want to ask you about a borrower. johnson's address to the summit. what did he have to say? what would the major takeaways a suppose you could say, there's good news and bad news, or breaking right now, because as johnson is definitely downbeat about the draft text of the final decision to end call 26, he's calling on all world leaders to really press then it goes ages to get the act together and put pressure on to open the margins up and, and get some decisions made. he actually said, we know what needs to be done. just have to take courage. so he's trying to get

where he basically feeds up the situation and get some progress made. now, what's just happening, as i speak, is a news conference by the u. s. and china to announce corporation on, on getting emission levels down perfectly with methane as well. and i've got with me an important person, france timmons, who's the leader of the european union delegation here. welcome to our sarah. thank you very much. um, can we 1st of all deal with this announcement which you've been briefed on, please tell us all as it's taking place because it does sound promising in the very least. well, john kerry informed me about this about an hour ago and i was really enthusiastic about what they've done. it shows that the united states and china can cooperate on issues that transcend other conflicts and humanities. faced with the biggest challenge we've had ever,

which is the climate crisis. and now china in the us are going to cooperate more closely in reducing methane emissions and reducing c o 2 emissions and bringing in new technologies to face this threat. and this is completely in line with what we need to do here. so i really welcome this joint declaration. i think it's good news for us. moving on though the draft text or as johnson thinks, well, say the word, but it's a bit of a failure. he, he wants a lot more, he wants to deliver, already describes as the essential element, which is $1.00 degrees celsius, which is not obvious target, obvious place to go. but you're not going to get there. right. well, i didn't discuss it with him, but it's more, more or less the same thing. i said today at the plenary that we need to make sure we maintain the 1.5 degrees target that we maintain that and in the decisions we take. now i believe was alex sharma has put on the table. there's a good basis for us to get there. but still as a prime minister,

johnson said we will need to negotiate in next couple of days that to make sure we get this deal done. i think it's still possible. i've seen a lot of good will across the board here at the at cop and so i think we can come out with a conclusion that would help us stay on track to say well below 2 degrees celsius and to still have a shot at ending with one or $1.00 degrees, but the promises are made and the promises of broke of that seems to be a never ending theme with caught. and it's never been more relevant than right now because 2.4 degrees, the century is, is the prediction. even if every single promise has been made, not just with the mainframe, but also the sideshow deals up that's, that's pretty, pretty off. but what we've learned is european union is that you can set a goal as being climate neutral. 2050 is what we said reducing our emissions with

at least 55 percent by 2030. but then you have to have the policies put in place now. not next year, not in 10 years time now to actually get us there and. and i believe cop if we are successful this week, the next generation of call will be in on implementation, on the measures we need to take. and frankly, also on the money we need to put on the table to get us that. and that leads into the adaptation issue your. busy promise, i will not promise for the commitment to a $100000000.00 euro, which is around $116000000000.00 us dollars. now, some would say that that's sounds like a lot of money, but really the need out there is huge. well, the need isn't the trillions. let's be clear. but it starts with a real commitment of real money so that we can get started in developing countries with real adaptation measures, making sure we protect people against erratic weather patterns, making sure we prevent wildfires, et cetera,

cetera. all these things can now start and once we get this started and once, once we show to the developing world that we really mean business that we really help them address this issue. then i believe also the private sector can come in with more money public sector. we'll see that it works and we'll come in with more money. so we need to have a plan and how we get more money. on the table beyond 2025 friends timmons. thank you very much for joining us when he's out and now back to you in the studio a lot going on here. right. i thank you for that sir. we appreciate that live cross their farm call. $26.00 kent my had them use our including us inflation surges to the highest level since 1990 is global supply chain problems threatened to destabilize post and demick recovery the former vice president bonfire alarm picks . the san said, the tyler 20 suspects linked to the 2015 carson, swarthy football playing legend,

days shows refugees and migrants, escorted by mast bellow russian security towards the border. sometimes shots are filed and people have often been beaten as in these pictures filmed by polish forces. mama all day. mamma, though the e. u says belarus has been encouraging migrants and refugees to enter poland and lithuania in retaliation for sanctions imposed over human rights violations. e u ambassadors have now agreed this judge defies a new round of sanctions on belarus and the block wants action to stop more desperate people arriving on its borders is important, which brings very well to the origin, trend threes into the transit to increase. what are the consequences of their policy? it's also important to explain to the airline, what are the concrete effects of their decisions in the system. and in fact, in the launch of an hybrid attack against you. but michelle bachelor,

the united nation human rights chief, has issued a statement effectively condemning all sides in the stand off saying, hundreds of men, women, and children must not be forced to spend another night in freezing weather without adequate shelter. food, water, and medical care. under international law, no one should ever be prevented from seeking asylum or other forms of international human rights protection. for its part, russia, a traditional backer of belarus, is accusing brussels of being hypocritical. she 13 years, she can grant in the situation is indeed very tense and there's a tendency to escalate tensions that causes concern. it's apparent that a humanitarian catastrophe is looming against the background of your pens. reluctance to demonstrate commitment to their european values. in a phone call, german chancellor, angular merkel has appealed directly to russian president vladimir putin to exert his influence on the regime in minsk. but as governments play the blame game, the humanitarian situation becomes more dire by the day. nadine baba al jazeera,

the president of the european commission as lavonne de lion has met with u. s. passenger by then in washington, dc. she said, ease sanctions against ballers will be widened and also we can try to stabilize democratic neighbors. we've already made our companies so it's not so much traffic. it means that it's bringing whitehouse corresponding kimberly hallett. now. kimberly, what else did live on the line?

have to say that well was a little bit difficult to hear what she was saying there because of you as president biden's helicopter marine one that was on the line there behind her making a lot of noise. so let me clarify some of what she said and talk about what they really discussed in their broader meeting as they sat down. and so, you know, this is coming on the heels of the g 20 meeting where they also had discussions about some of the regional issues that have grave concern to both leaders and well they discussed a wide range of issues. a really was this, that was the focus and, and what they said to that end with respect to the crisis along the belly, mercy and poland border is that the view is that she sees this is more than just a migration issue. she said, in fact i, it's really more of what she called a cynical geopolitical power play. and by that, what she's saying in does what she's alleging is that the russian align bella, ruffian, government is essentially making

a power play. she said that she's called these very specifically the actions of an authoritarian regime to destabilize neighbors. and, well, she didn't mention, bella russo russia directly. she said that this crisis that is taking place. the board is really part of a broader campaign that has for, for many months and years now included not just cyber attacks, but also of propagating misinformation. kimberly wanted the veto discuss in terms of next steps. yeah, olias is she shell like a little bit of it there in the sound by which was a little bit hard to hear but essentially comes down to 3 plans of action. the 1st is that there is a coordination of outreach that is taking place between european partners and some of these countries of origin where many of the migrants have come from to see that they get the support, the opportunity to return if they wish to that sort of thing then the next step is working to see that the you and agencies that are there to address the humanitarian

needs that they can get the access that is needed. but most importantly, there is a discussion under way of this broadening of sanctions, specifically not just the airlines that support human trafficking. but we're told also that is being considered is sanctions against bella, rosie and personalities, even entities, the message that is there is the desire to send right now is that this provocative destabilizing behavior. she called, it comes at a price i. kimberly, how could i want house? correspondent? thank you. agency say up to 5000 people are fleeing into iran from afghanistan every day. more than 300000 refugees have arrived since the taliban took paula in august. frank augusta reports after a tough year. afghans and are preparing for an even how shall winter, firewood, charcoal and heaters lie unused in shops and on the streets beyond the reach of

many afghans who can't afford to keep themselves warm, their marble habitual. gotcha, the one quarter people are miserable. there are no salaries or work opportunities. the government needs to create jobs for the people and pay them salary. since the taliban to control in august, the united states has blocked billions of dollars of afghanistan's overseas at its leaving. it's a ready, troubled economy in ruins. unemployment, poverty, and hunger are forcing thousands of people to cross into neighboring iran every day or more while chic, albany. cherokee matthews. what shall we do? why isn't help being delivered? why's their money blocked? why does nobody deliver hope to the people of afghanistan? i mean, help, that would keep them in afghanistan, helped that stop them from leaving their homes and going to borders. know every single day. we have several 1000 people at our borders would have canister iran

house, one of the largest number of con refugees in the world. for decades, afghans have been making the way across iran's long eastern border. but agencies see the number of arrivals is increasing. in iran, there is already ran up to 4000000 africans coming over the yes. over the border and from the pricing and upgrade is done now with full $5000.00 each day. they will, in iran, it will be overwhelmed. there is not enough resources here to help them. so the international community has the neighboring countries inside up gone on very much so, but also the neighboring countries, iran and pockets us sanctions. and iran are also hunting 8 efforts due to the current situation of sanctions to the country. unfortunately, we are not able or we are not able to receive the national donations assistance

because the banking challenge are blocked and then we are not able to receive the donations. for now, millions of guns are caught between starvation at home and displacement abroad with little help in sight. priyanka gupta, alt 0, dozens of protest as have been arrested in georgia. this, the trial of former president mchale, soccer shrilly begins. he's been on hunger trunk and has been transferred to a military hospital, personal followers. he say, he won't be allowed to attend his trial soccer. shirley was arrested in october after returning to georgia the 1st time and 8 years have been convicted in a sense of abuse of power. thomas he says we're made on robin forest. walker has the latest from outside the justice ministry interview c me back. i really is on trial accused of exceeding his authority during anti government protest back in

2007, which were violently put down by the authorities. he's also already being convicted of abuses of power while in office. but those happens in a sense here while he was outside of the country. now finally, for the government there having a child to try him in person here. now that he's back in the countries, but the opposition was really supportive. we're hoping that they would be able to see him today. they're glad that finally, he would have a chance to defend itself in person, in court that angry, that he's not being allowed to attend the session today. and they're convinced that he's not going to be able to receive a fair trial, which really is already over 40 days into a hunger strike. and his lawyers in his office say he's growing weaker by the day.

and that increases the chance of health complications, such as really with his support to say, the government really needs to get him to a private medical clinic where he can be treated adequately very frustrated at the fact that he was taken from his prison with savvy to a medical facility inside a maximum security prison and they don't believe that he's able to receive adequate medical treatment. we've already seen a number of the rest of the. there were protests popping up all over the city today, outside different ministries, with the opposition, demanding that suckers really be treated properly. and with that sense of frustration from the opposition, a growing risk of confrontation between them and the for the services i had on the back in court y b for my georgia president, macau,

as well as coastal areas in the west of iran. but for the south of this, it is looking a lot finer and dryer and settled as expected. that's not the case for bonds of the west of africa. we have seen some flooding for the 2nd time in 2 weeks and coastal areas of the ivory coast. the rain eases, but it is still there over the next 2 days. but for the heavier showers we have to move to central parts of africa. we are going to see the storms pick up across western areas of the democratic republic of congo and get bond that was moved to southern africa, zimbabwe that seeing some of the very wet weather. some of the story for is scenarios of south africa, but there will be sunshine in cape town at $22.00 degrees celsius. ah.
