a major road running south to the capital, addis ababa. earlier this month to grind, rebels said they took control of these towns. combo chest sits on a supply line linking the land locked nation to the port city of to routine. okay, let's go to ethiopian. generalist samuel, get a child who is in addis ababa? thanks for joining us as samuel 1st of all, will the prime minister actually join troops or is this just rhetoric? well, that's why he said, he said that campaign doing the c t o is something that undermines the history culture, identity and dignity of black people. that's what he said from his statement last night. well, there has been another president who did go to the battle ground. president charge the next the lead. it reach said debbie also went and died in the battle ground. he also gave the same kind of assessment of ownership and country and so on. but this

prime minister has a background in terms of being an army officer in the past. he did fight during the job on a tree on conflict. so for 1998 and he also spent some time and one piece paper. so he has the background. he's also given a speech at the nobel peace vice in 2019 reflecting on his experience as an army person and saying that he understood the price $1.00 needs to pay for conflict and what conflicts really means in a practical terms. but this comes us been jeffrey felt monday us invoice it was in our last night trying to end this conflict outbreak on union employ. mr. o button angel is still in the sub looking at solving this issue. but the both sites are saying there's no end in sight, they're going to fight until the end. the prime minister has been saying he's willing to pay and see your pants pay with our blood. and he had said,

and this is what lead him to make a decision to join the battle ground. but we have yet to confirm if he has indeed headed to the battle ground. we are not in a position, i am not in a position to say exactly where they are at the moment, but they are state to be advancing to the sub about, for many embassies, to really take out their citizens from the server, for safety reasons, or even based on rumors that there are indeed coming to be sober and the fight is the home stretched heading to the capital of the field, which is the sub samuel, how much of an escalation is this conflict? i'm given that the prime minister is not missing was there? well, you know, the conflict really advancing. there are many, many people that are being impacted by this conflict. there has been rumors that it might end. they have been saying it's ending the saying it's ending and

again, you know, you just have to read the social media pages that you're tied, the prime minister. busy and also the keep that in the head get hard to read, who has been saying that even the prime minister heading to this concept is a sick joke. he said. but there are again claiming that they have kill this many people. and rumors, genocide, like ox, by both sides accusations. so it's really, really being a conflict. no way of verifying this information, but we were trying our best. but the foxes, again, the culture is again holy, it's just saving money. money, people in many people are still heading to these have about looking for some kind of safety net which isn't really available where they are and the conflict is still ongoing. alright, we'll make sure and keep us updated as to the days and weeks and how they progress and we'll get a live pressing, addis ababa? thank you. moving to sedan now?

the $23000.00 plus charges that have been put down in the 9 volumes of indictments would be red because that's a legal procedure. but when the judges took to the bench, or they did come across requests by the defense attorneys essentially from the accused to provide them those documentation documents as well as at least the chargers in a language that they can understand. not all of this very much in the single is language, the language of the majority here in jamaica. but as of now, those documents aren't available in tamara, which most of these accused speak as well as in english. saw the state a site basically asked for more time to have this information translated. they've asked for about 2 or 3 weeks. and as a result, the judge has decided that in order for them to proceed with even that very 1st step of the charges being read out. so the accused nor what they're being sort of

charged with that that information has to be made available to them. and as a result, the next day it was fixed for january. now, so far it's been quite busy here at the high court. obviously we had a huge amount of tight security. we had the bomb disposal scored. we had the a special task force even families coming to see. and some of the families made some pretty serious allegations. dc. there can have had nothing to do with this formulas and they say that this is all a stitch up. but the state maintains that these are the guys behind the bombings. ok, thank you very much for that update. min l. fernandez, live for us in colombo, venezuela's ruling socialist party. his claim to victory in regional elections. president nicholas maderos party 120 of 23 state governorships. opposition figures say the result is a blow to their 1st campaign after a 4 year boycott. theresa bo reports from the capital characters. gina marijuana was surprised by the results of sunday's region elections. she lives in

away in this bella, russian camp, just hundreds of meters away from europe. 70 are not going to say you are going to wait. wait, wait, wait. dozens of people in the camp, i've left a home country to find medical treatment in europe. so my physically disabled, like 5 year old mom was born without last. some struggles with mental issues. i didn't help terminated saying no, i don't care. i have to give the not the in germany maybe in another country to deal with me to give them my health. why it's, i call a g, get fragile. people used by bell, russian leaders look shanker in a cynical power play with europe, with sons. believe them, i saw a jimmy doesn't take them. what can we do? there's no way out a hello ma'am. you also knew the images of the camp

corona, virus outbreak under control. daily reported cases have dropped to single digits after the delta variance spread to at least $1300.00 people since mid october. but reducing infections has come at a cost, severe lockdown and trouble restrictions are weighing on the country's economic growth at a time when inflation is also increasing. chinese officials say the impact will be short term, but some analysts believe it's likely to continue next year. oh i oh, oh, great region. oh, yes people is each round area easy to she a shot all to trial. as in jackson insecurity. last week, ratings agency, fitch cut its focus for china's quote 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 had been closed since march 2020, and strict quarantine remains in place. shelters had become more cautious in their spending. e commerce chide 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 job owner 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 handed manufacturing. the economy grew by just 4.9 percent in the 3rd quarter. falling short of expectations. katrina u. r t,

as irritating the u. s. government says 90 percent of federal employees have had at least one dose of the coven 19 vaccine. president joe biden made vaccinations. the federal work is compulsory in september. any of the 3500000 federal workers who still remain vaccinated could face of 2 weeks. suspension still in the us. and president biden has nominated jerome pal as the chair of the federal reserve for 2nd chem buttons, but positively of pounds, actions during the global pandemic. but some disagree with his views on monetary policy. kristen salome has moved from new york on how the markets reacted to the news. markets initially responded quite favorably to the news of jerome power nomination. the dow jones industrial average did close higher and bank fax in particular, did quite well closing up more than 2 percent. and that's because investors know jerome powell, he served under democratic and republican administrations,

he seen as a steady hand and shaky economic times. it was under powell that the fed decided to cut interest rates to nearly 0 in march of 2020 and start an aggressive bond buying program to stabilize the economy during the pandemic. and under how we watch the markets have done quite well with 2018, rising nearly 70 percent. but now of course, inflation is a big concern with supply chain issues resulting from the pandemic and prices soaring. the feds last meeting indicated their plans for moving forward to ease up on that bond buying and gradually begin interest raising interest rates . now, some in the democratic party would have liked to have seen a more aggressive fed share, someone who would take on climate change in more regulations and so on. but for

investors, they don't like surprises. and jerome powell with jerome, how they know what they're getting from a south korean president sean, do f one has died at the age of 19 tooth was an army commander who seized pallets or a military coup in 979. and next year, hundreds of pro democracy protested were killed by the military. he was sentenced to death for his role, but later patterned protest against his rule led to a transition to democracy. in 1987, professor b j came as a former south korean diplomat. he says, john has a complex legacy, but there are people who, who recognized a president for president jones performance as a i'm this performance idea is interesting to because his performance was that he kept his hands off from the economic policy and that the car was school economist trained in united states to run a climate policy doing necessary things, making necessary adjustments after after he is high growth era. so he's

achievement if you will. it was allowing professional economists to run economic policy without much of a political intervention. and there was his interesting idea of what shipment but of course, on the other side of the way he was coming to the power wanting to mask. or there was always a negative way behind his legacy. he never fully acknowledged or apologized for the mask or indicating that he firmly believed there was certain this last steps to be taken, you know, to hold the country together in his own belief at the time of crisis following the assassination of talk to the demise of back to me and, and he did what he thought was necessary. that was his conviction. and he can never fully apologize and death left the big scar and up people's heart and remain as as an important point to where the decreasing number of people still remembered. their

kept their anger in their heart to india. now where heavy rain has caused likes to overflow in the city of bengal, lu room, northern parts of the city, have been hardest hit. disaster management authority. officials say $24.00 people have been killed in rain and floods in the states so far this month. indian government is building the last are 4 major tunnels in india and ministered cash name visual say it will be the countries longest pass for vehicles by this pattern, middle reports, the project has caused controversy, highly himalayas. these men are building a tunnel in freezing temperatures and in some of the worlds toughest to read is very, very challenging. no, the temperature is going out into diggity. i'm got expertise that m. brazil goes minus $25.00 degrees. so within the span of $15.00 to $20.00 days, i'm replying to continue over what the zoji, latan and indian administered cush me will be one of the longest in asia and run

between the lead off region and the kush, me valley. it's an area that is both politically sensitive and strategically important. the valleys in kush made by control is divided between india and pakistan. the booklet serenity over the entire area. china also claim some areas and the dark is along the de facto china india border. during the winter, heavy snow blocks the only road leading to the dark, the tunnel will connect the 2 districts and east movement will indian soldiers deployed there? it will only ease our troops right now in peacetime, it east, there you go. i good. all right, russians food, it kill plant because they are there are inducting a lot of heavy equipment there. so all of this can go via road now and it can go through the window. the dispatcher will not be close. this huge infrastructure project comes off to new delhi promised more and foster development construction is
