military from the ground myself. those of you with your pins, he won't to be remembered by history. for the sake of your country, join me in the fight to day. unless say it's an unusual moved by the prime minister . i think it is assigned a hope for that. daniel also mobilize all the with your beans, to join the military forces. and though to join the war against the deacon defense forces. but certainly, it is also a sign of desperation. in response to the prime minister's statement, the spokesman for the tea gray people's liberation front tweeted, obese mimicry of ethiopia will time, empress is taken on an all to palpable skits of frantic overtone. i would have dismiss this as yet another sick joke, abby, would it a military offensive against the t p. a left last november saying it was in response to attacks on army bases. the t p left says it was unfairly targeted. but in june this year to graham fight is re captured the regional capital mckelly. and

they're now advancing on the capital, addis ababa. despite a flurry of recent diplomatic activity, a ceasefire has not been reached and only say the language used by abby and monday statement is worrying. he does have a military background if you look at his nobel prize speech from some years ago. they used a lot of war imagery to talk about the latitude learned about the hell of war. but here we are in almost full circle the nobel peace prize winner. using the mult, bellicose language on to try to, you know, ramp up to stakes. ahead of the defense, not only of ethiopia, goodness in life and death, you know, you basically, you are willing to die for the cause. they sides of the conflict continue to maintain hard line positions and upset pre conditions ahead of any negotiations. victoria gates and be out there about hodgen. namo is a professor of political science at the university of toronto. now he says about his comments make it much harder to find

a peaceful solution to the conflict. i don't know if this is the right moment. i think he calls out for these people to mobilize a larger scale. apparently the, to this message is very aggressive. how many people who are expecting some sort of apartment are in terms of making peace and says fire. so he was more or less mystifying the war and asking if it would be an alive and he is ready to be marked here and to die in the body of the so he use imagery or otherwise we'll talk to defeat is italians and not all is out, but also he want to more or less african ice. the problem as if the war is not only again, is the 2 clients, or if it's as if the world is weighed against imperialism, or europe peons are western nurse if you like. so he called upon africans to say, express sorted out, he really took the as, as a, b to b, i was

a sort of victim of western consideration. so i, it is very, very aggressive. and many people are hoping that some kind of solution would be found. but i think this, in addition to the emergency loss where you called, or only to be asked to simply use all weapons to fight and the body of the, in me, i simply very aggressive ones. no, austria has become the 1st e e country to rent a full nationwide lockdown as infection surge. the average daily deaths there of tripled in recent weeks. under the restrictions people cannot leave their homes to buy groceries to visit their doctor or to exercise. andrew simmons has more from the capital vienna. the lockdown is back in austria or as europe shivers at the onset of a 4th wave of cobra 90. this is salzburg, one of the worst hit places where intensive care units are filling up. last month, the national daily infection rates were around $3000.00 cases per day. they're now
