regional issues. when can manse kenya's president as part of a diplomatic push to bring peace to ethiopia, the year long conflicts between ethiopians, government and rebels from the northern tikwa region. as escalated in recent weeks, anti bullying cannon has canyon counterparts held a press conference a short while ago. he said all sides had to prioritize humanitarian access. what we seen is the way the conflict is ah, progressed, ah, more and more parts of the country have become involved and or are in jeopardy with their citizens bearing the bearing the consequences. and whether that's in and t gray over the last year. more recently in tomorrow and moving further south toward toward addis. the people who suffer are the people and we have to make sure
4:08 pm
that they are getting the assistance they need and that the fighting ceases. and the, the talking starts. i will, as course like that scene i will be the can join a corresponding catherine sawyer. catherine, we had a little clip for from the press conference, but what more have we learned about that meeting? well i did ask car the secretary of lincoln about a travel advisory i'd that has again, been issued by the us states department are asking auditing a u. s. citizens in if you appear to immediately be the country. so i asked him if that goes to show how danger, as the situation continues to be. and it does that also show that perhaps is no movement forward through tom's. of this too, a wiring group saw the philippine government and to grand leadership. is there no movement forward in terms of adding hostilities?
4:09 pm
and he didn't say that the u. s. is worried about the escalating tensions is worried about? are the escalating and moving forward of a to grand forces and adjust staking precautionary measures a we the it's citizen. he said that both sides mast can meet to ending hostilities without conditions or preconditions. we know that we're 5 have come up with a set of preconditions, has been a lot of diplomatic athletes going long to try and discuss deescalate tension. the us is involved kanyes president is involved on sunday. he was in a few of your president looking at a was in a few peer talks to our prime minister. i'll be our med and other government officials to see how there can be a peace resolution. so a secretary blinkin met the president, our idea today, and they dis, past or not,
4:10 pm
what more can be done this f, what's going on? and if you, if you're being led by the african union, a former nigerian president. yes, a good a bassinger has been talking to both sides of the conflict of publicly at least. and they say that they have no appetite for an outright conflict. but beyond that, we are not seeing any commitments being made for a cease fire or for talk. so i did ask our secretary lincoln, that beyond this diplomatic talk that we're hearing, what else can be done to put pressure on this to groups to assign a 4 si, fi out or talks. both sides are still being accused of human rights abuses the un. and if you appears a human rights commission upward, fate that up to a 1000 to grands have been rounded up and detained by security forces a declaration of their state of emergency. so the secretary of lincoln, things is very worried about that,
4:11 pm
saying that to us is monitoring and taking facts and there will make a deliberations when the time is right. but beyond this diplomatic talk that we've been hearing, we don't seem to have any clear action on what more can be done to this group to put pressure on them to at least agree to a cease fire. okay, thank you very much. indeed, catherine. sorry, bray us up to speed from nairobi. let's head to add a sub and i we can speak to join the samuel gets a cio. a sammy we're, we're hearing from catherine that. so there has been this meeting, but at no commitment, it's at lots of diplomatic pressure, but no commitments. i was not likely to be received in ethiopia. do you get the sense that this diplomatic pressure is, is going to change anything where you are the fuel gun government continues to see the united states, assigning with the t p a level. the government has been saying that the children
4:12 pm
prime minister through his social media page has said he's willing to talk to friendly nations to try to solve what has been a challenge in ethiopia, and now threatening neighborhoods. and one of the frame, the nation's president kenyatta was an idea of on sunday talking to the prime minister as well as the president trying to be a messenger of peace perhaps. and going back to kenny and meeting with the secretary of state who he made today and a joint statement from kenya and the u. s. has called for and negotiated ceasefire, but between the 2 actors, between the job and government and t p, a left. again, there doesn't seem to be any interest to sit down and negotiate the t p f. busy is calling for some kind of transition on government while they are also saying that the job on site is commencing some kind of genocide in their own state. but the job
4:13 pm
on site is assisting. they are a terrorist organization and the new york bands need to take up arms and fight against them. there has been trainings and a coal for only 2 accounts, to fight against them. what they joke inside is insisting again, is an enemy of the state and the prime minister has said it's to be recorded that he's willing to fight on to the very end with our bones and blood he has said. and this efforts by the united states and kenyana and you've been, uganda, is really how we haven't seen any reaction from the field and sign. but it's really part of the efforts and growing effort to try to bring this to aside. in conclusion, again, it's impacting not just the yoga, but potentially to neighboring nations as well. okay. summer gets into their life or as an address ab about samuel. thank you very much indeed. let's take you back
4:14 pm
to our top story. those protests in that suit done, and i hope we have wrestle 3rd with us in the capitol carts in he is i on the streets rest. sue, can you hear us? yeah, i can hear you. excellent. 3rd time. lucky. a refill. you're on the streets with those protesters, give us a sense of what is like there. what are they saying to you? why are they coming out to protest to day while, while we are in their, at their booted district of the capital, hard to my people. how started together around 1 pm local time, which is the usual practice here, the security measures are quite tight, the army has blocked their main roads and the bodies to prevent people from air gathering. so here, right behind me, there are protest and relatively brought us here are peaceful and receipt out there
4:15 pm
. a difference of the army is not that much that much a raft. however, the protesters behind me, they are champagne slogans against the army. and they're saying that they want an immediate restoration off a civilian government. they asked the army to commit to their cause additional declaration. it signed with civilians in 2019 and also they are asking at the, on me to release their political prisoners in the, in the country. so, so far that has been a report by the way that they did that that, that they had. some people have been killed in the district off on demand and dozens injured. however, this, that reports are not confirmed yet, but just a bit ago i was in the 6th it and i could see that that, that, that security forces were using excessive force to fight and tear gas on people are following them into the bite of these as well, so you know, one on november 13 there has been while and confrontations between the on forces
4:16 pm
and did that, that, that, that the protest, there's an 8th people at the is a people have been killed more than a 100 people had been injure. so the concerns here now or that if the security forces increase it into for and says that could lead another violent, confidential confrontation today. but however, for now, at least that our 7 districts that are housed in the mass protest. people. yeah. how being gathering by the coal off did a resistant comb with his and the forces or free them and change which is did move civilian coalition. well, that had been in that power. shaelyn with military says 2019 and now they are chanting and of chanting to free them a change and peace and justice in a solidarity with their resistance committees and their forces, or for a free them and change. as i said, there has been reports of the casualties. we do not know whether it's true or not.
4:17 pm
but of that so far, i could say that the, the, the on forces are, aren't quite serious off for one thing. people from the gatherings and then so at one of the other interesting point besides this brought us today is that for the 1st time since the middle to take over on october 25th. they are organizing the protest in early on a working day, not a weekend. and the reason for that the professors or door can either says that we are trying to force the army to lock down the system by itself. so whether they are going to achieve it or not, we do not know yet. however, so far all the talk to find out out a, a way out of the politic of that look in through the, on how field and their civilian groups are out. there are stepping up the pressure on the army to force them to a power shade, an agreement with civilians and wrestled. how likely is this
4:18 pm
a force that the military's hands here? because it was these protests that eventually forced the toppling of former of the sheer and, and, and, and really brought about that, that change at the beginning of this whole process to are the army more emboldens night? do you get the sense that that they feel they can lock this dying again, or are these process gathering momentum? well, the army asked that that the on ne service that we re re re mad we, we had the interview with them. you glued in miss and i would have gentle up to read off the fact that i would on himself as says that he has the support to or of the people are what we can see in this fits there. that the protests that are organized by their civilian groups are quite quite big roberts, at the, the army claims that there are a silence that there is a sign of maturity that are supporting them. and they said that in any way,
4:19 pm
we are committed to it or to their democracy. and soon within days we are going to and as, as civilian government. and they say they refer to affirm that they are not willing to stay in power forever. they say that we are planning that fair. i free elections in 2 years. however, there that, that the protestors and their, that their forces are free to my change, the resistance committees, their live, that the civilian groups are very skeptical when it comes to that. the said that the military at the end is going to get up power and do whatever it can to say in poverty. on the other hand, i think here there will be 2 main dynamics that will determine whether the army is going to succeed or not. one of them is the international reaction. so far there has been a force from the, at that, that the international community, an international organization such as the you and but old are 40. how failed, what we can see that the of the did, the european union is,
4:20 pm
is stepping pressure on the, on the army. and yesterday, the deputy secretary off the united states was here and she met a miss that i would hon and urged him for an immediate reservation of a civilian government. and specifically, she asked at the austin prime minister of the law. hum duke to be back in the office and also to lease older a debt that they're political prisoners here. so there are some of the sources saying that the od me a will good and that, and we can see that mr. abdullah hum to now's the time minister is, was back in the court whether this talks are going to move forward or not. we do not know, however, that the put the protesters civilian groups here better be will in 5th or to, to organize more and more protests and increase the that, that the, that the gatherings out deal a civilian government is in charge. ok, wrestle serves or their lives in downtown carts era, so thank you very much in deeds there have been 2 explosions in the afghan
