born human history has been once christine environments of the arctic in such peril . ah, ah, its prime minister says he'll lead the military from the front lines as rebel advances breton its hold on the capitol. ah, hello robin, you're watching out. there were like my headquarters here in the coming up in the next 30 minutes. a warning to germans on the 19 health minister says leave again, vaccinated, recover or die from the virus. the trial of $24.00 men accused of carrying out the 2019. if the bombings gets under way in lanka,

and the former korean president and all fun has died, his autocratic rule in the 1980 spot mass protest, and the countries transition to democracy. ah, welcome to the program. if you, if he is prime minister, says hilde, travel to the front line on tuesday to lead the military against rebel forces, tens of thousands of people believes have been killed and battled between the european army on the ticket. i enforces that began last year, victoria gayton. b has more ethiopians. prime minister says it's time to lead by personal example. it's a dramatic new step in the conflict. it's devastated the northern te gray region in a statement released on social media. abby had said, this is a time when leading a country with martyrdom is needed. i will go to the front line and lead the

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 all unusual moved by the prime minister. i think it is a sign i hope for that doc will also mobilize other with your beans, to join the military forces and to join the war against that. again, 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 abby's mimicry of ethiopia will time empress has taken on and all to palpable skits of frantic overtone. i would have dismissed 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 recaptured, the regional capital mckelly and they're now advancing on the capital at is have

a 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. you don't 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. by using the mult bellicose language, i'm to try to, you know, ramp up, the stakes ahead of the defense. not only of ethiopia, goodness in life and death. you know, you basically you willing to die for the cause they sides of the conflict continue to maintain hard line positions and have set preconditions ahead of any negotiations. tory, to be out there about how g one amo, is professor of political science at the university of toronto. 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 his 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 are given the 2 clients or t p a left. 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 express sorted out really to be as, as a, b 2 p, 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. austria has become the 1st e e country to re enter a full nationwide lockdown as infection surge. the average daily deaths there have tripled in recent weeks. now under the restrictions. people can only leave their homes to buy groceries to visit their doctor or to exercise. and re simmons as 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

population have been vaccinated, leaving one of the biggest proportions of unvaccinated people in europe. so the government will introduce compulsory vaccinations in february. it's led to resistance and protest. this woman has just had her 3rd vaccination, the booster jap. yes, she says people shouldn't be forced to have vaccinations. we had to angela who made only marketing for his career and, but he didn't explain and they didn't make a good preparation for, for to, to ensure that everyone will be vaccinated. capitals across europe are watching austria closely as they consider their own restrictions here. the daily number of deaths caused by the corona virus has tripled in recent weeks. this locked down is a last resort. andrew simmons al jazeera vienna. the hospitals in germany are

last week ratings agency. fitch cut it's forecast for china's quarter in 2021 to a point one percent and lowered. it's 2022 forecast to 5.2 percent. several banks have also followed suit. china is one of the few countries still following a 0 tolerance approach to the virus. its borders have been closed since march 2020, and strict quarantine remains in place. shelters have become more cautious in their spending. e commerce died. ali baba recorded its lowest sales growth during its annual single state online shopping festival. earlier this month, ahead of the beijing winter olympics in february, authority, se they will further tighten pandemic controls in the coming weeks, j bowler or mount. we will summarize the experience and lessons learned. so for the taking pains to promote the implementation of epidemic prevention and continued per pearl vaccination for the public, chinese economy is already under pressure from

a crackdown in the property sector and power shortages which have hampered manufacturing. the economy grew by just 4.9 percent in the 3rd quarter. falling short of expectations. katrina, you are the 0 paging. now a trial is underway for $24.00 man accused of carrying out the 2019 easter bombings in sri lanka, collectively charged with more than $23000.00 defense is including murder. amongst them is the alleged mastermind who is said to have links to isolate 267 people were killed in the attacks which targeted churches and luxury hotels in colombo. but often this is all correspond. joining us now from these relying can capital colombo, minette, this is a long and lengthy processing court. what are we expecting to happen today?

so the 1st base, basically the 1st time that these 25 men that have been named in the indictment being accused in the east, a bombing tragedy have been produced before the court at a special high court at bar as it's called. there are 9 volumes of charges, those $23000.00 plus charges that list all the things that the accused of. what will happen as part of the legal requirements is that the state and essentially state prosecutor will have to read out all of these indictments and charges. there is no case of you know, taking as read. but the logistics are absolutely mind boggling. i spoke to some of the lawyers, some of the lawyers for some of the suspects, as well as those observing the proceedings today and the even the can't fathom how the state in the 1st base are going to go to reading these $23000.00 charges. so

that's one of the 1st things there is also talk. i mean, in terms of the indictments, i've seen one of the 1st volumes. it was essentially 3000 or pages just the 1st volume. and i'm told that there are 9 volumes, which basically summarize the entire indictment against this group. now basically, all of that is in the synchronous language, there is reports that to the lawyers and essentially the suspects of aust. obviously, most of them are members of the muslim community, a more proficient in the tummy language. and they have asked that some of this documentation be provided to them. at least the charges that they understand what they're being accused of, that these be provided in tennis and that's very much the process. it's been a busy morning around the high court premises here today there's a heavy security presence. as we came in here this morning. did our special task force officers data extra on police data,

even people from the presidential god all ensuring the security of these premises. now, the group of 25 men were brought in 3 different batches. they will walk through with jailers, essentially handcuffed in pass. they had to go through a very stringent body such as security checks, everybody that's being taken into the courtroom. that will have the trial at bar is being subject to security checks, body such as before, they're allowed to go in. that is obviously the bomb squad back on stand by so or family 10. so short of morning heard at the high courts as people wait to hear. now, one of the defense lawyers representing one of the suspects who i spoke to said his client denies the charges. he said he, by all means denies the fact that he, as he's been accused of eating and betting the suicide bombers and basically denies all the charges. this lawyer, basically, his view was that the state has cast

a wide net and they have avoided the big fish, but they're going for the smallest press in the periphery as he put it. so there are those who have talked about, you know, the need for further investigations at the state hasn't really got to the real people behind this tragedy. so we'll have to wait and see how this case proceeds. it will keep an eye on proceedings in the 70 days and weeks ahead. nelfa does a force in columbus. thank you. all still had here on out. is there a u. s. jerry is asked to weigh it. murder or self defense, in the trial of free white man, accused of killing a black man in georgia. and he was present j by not so continuity and his pick full head of the federal reserve stories after the break. ah,

a few shots just hinted ahead of it in iraq or iran. in tropical africa, you'd like to see some rain suddenly would in kenya, after 2 failed years of harvest. this is the picture in the middle of can you, i'd like to the ball right on the way. but you know, it's hard to say there isn't, ah, i'm counting, the cost is big. pharma refuses to save it back soon. secret wells health organization, hiv a south african labs to crack m on a coast i'm factored by the pandemic. the airline industry plots, so root pneumatic, counting the cough on out. oh, you want to help save the world ah. sneezing to your elbow. oh

doing necessary things, making necessary adjustments after after he is high growth era. so he's achievement if you will. it was allowing professionally economists to run economic policy without much of a political intervention. and that was his interesting idea of shipment. but of course, on the other side, the way he was coming to the power to massacre, there was always the biggest, our, you know, in a negative way behind his legacy. he never fully acknowledged or apologized for the massacre, indicating that he firmly believed there were certain this is less steps to be taken, you know, to hold the country together in his own belief at the time of crisis. following those destination of proctor in the minds of back to me and, and he did what he thought was necessary. that was his conviction. and he can never fully apologize. and beth left the big scar in the people's heart and remain as a,
