about 200 kilometers from addis ababa. jonas, i'm, we'll get at you bring us the latest from ethiopia, capital well, a to new, the spokesperson of the ethiopian government, the header for convocation services here. and i decided i said, the prime minister isn't the battle ground, giving leadership, and really fighting for the survival. he said of, if you're there are many people that are joining the call for the prime minister following in his footsteps, including a long p n. i like a rest, and last, a successful businessman and i d, stuff about us were last part of the enders who into mckinney at the just before the conflicts begun seeing if this can be resolved in a more peaceful way. but again, the prime minister is indeed in the back of the ground. he said that on monday night, and i was expected to happen and there he is in the back of gun fighting what he

terms a terrorist organization that's s t p and that's early asphalt. tim, a staff i me who is the co founder and chairman of the horn international institute for strategic studies. he warns of more instability in the horn of africa region, if you will be a defense, a civil war, a kind of similar gambled when chinese been tried in precedent. it was debbie, went to the front lines and he lost his life even when the actually defeated the rebels in china. and so what is risking his life and he's also risky, the lives of those that are going to be alongside him. so and, but i think the calculation here from obese administration is that because the t or, and then many of the i'm groups confiding around he sees it,

feet is part of psychological operations and to inspire other europeans to join the routes and fight of the e n d f to fight this war and to and to push back the t grams is a huge country with a population of 112000001 east. if this country descends into anarchy, then we're going to have a huge problem of stability in the entire horn of africa with so many refugees, really and then usual refugees that we've come to, you know, we'll go to south g, t and other places already. the horn is very unstable. we've done the reason that i'm still disintegrating on updating grounds there. now the last thing that the return wishes to have is a disintegrate. and if you and the west interests are going to really just go up in

flames. sedans, prime minister says an investigation is underway, inter deaths and injuries, and recent demonstrations. dozens of people were killed in protest against october's military take over. the lease and security forces have denied using life fire. abdullah, ham dank, was reinstated as the country's prime minister on sunday after signing a deal with the military leadership to germany now where leaders of 3 political parties have agreed to form a coalition government following 2 months of talks or laugh shows is now said to take over his chancellor, early next month, the government will be the 1st 3 party coalition in nearly 70. yes, there spring in dominic came whose life for us in berlin. so what more do we know about this deal that these 3 parties have come up with we're going to find out all the details in the next hour. and it's very interesting to see which parties have insisted on which policies are really important for them

. one thing that stands out from this deal that we understand anyway is that there's going to be a super empowered climate change ministry. it's going to be built into the existing economy ministry, and the green party will control that ministry. the green party will also control the foreign ministry. the finance ministry is going to be controlled by these center right party, the free democrats that called the liberals here in germany. the liberals will also have a few other ministerial posts for the most important post of all chancellor. the personally will replace angular makeover that goes to the social democrats and to olaf shots. he's been the, the vice chancellor for the past 3 years. he's going to be moving up one position and that ought to take place. they hope in either the 1st or the 2nd week of december. but there is some devil in the details because the parties themselves to go to have to agree what's been agreed by the leadership teams now, although the suggestion is that that should not be particularly difficult for any

of these 3 parties. and what dr. corals well in your government have achieving as objectives dominic well it took them 9 weeks to reach this this moment where they can agree with themselves about what to put through, but then there's going to be problems coming down the way. so 1st of all cove, it how do they deal with the rockets in cases of cove? it in this country that ministry that deals with that? the health ministry. it was pretty much a hot potato. nobody really wanted to have the health ministry in their portfolio of cabinet jobs as it were. but that's not the only challenge facing them. one of the challenges will be just to stay in government with each other because the greens really want to prioritize combating climate change. whereas the free democrats will, there are several green ideas. they really don't like the sound of a toll. and then there's one other factor to throw into the equation,

which is that as these 3 parties announced their deal with each other, they're effectively consigning the kristian democrats of angler, merkel into opposition. we know that the christian democrats are going to be speaking about what's financed right now. a little bit later. they got a metaphorically lick their wounds in opposition, but they are in a position in the other house of parliament to really make things difficult for this new coalition. we don't know yet whether they wants to do that, but we'll find out soon enough. i and i know you'll keep us up today. thank you very much for that. dominic came live for i say, in berlin, covered 19 ish booster shots should be considered for all adult. that's the latest announcement from the head of the european union's public health agency. is the major you change from previous guidance? europe is now the epi center of the pandemic with countries seeing rec, at high cases, shortages of intensive care beds,

frame for criticism here because it has been subjecting migrants and asylum seekers to the most appalling abuse after encouraging them to come on on a false promise, trapping them in the border area, subjecting to violence, denying them access to food, water and shelter, you know, a small number, maybe in, in a shelter now, but there are many others who are not i'm so that is all that, you know, very, very troubling. but what is all so deeply troubling is that we found that clear evidence that poland is or enabling this abuse by pushing people back in some, in some cases repeatedly who are trying to cross into poland back into the hands of the declaration. officials who are abusing them. and it's also by denying humanitarian organizations access to the border area on the polish side. creating a situation where people are suffering and in some cases dying because they're not able to get the kind of life saving assistance that they need. and so we feel it's

incredibly important that poland responsibility is given more attention, particularly by the european union. the announcement by the european commission of a whole package of measures to address the situation, all of which were focused on galleries. and in fact, if you were to read that, that package of measures, you would have no idea that poland was in any way doing anything wrong. and in fact, the doing a lot of things wrong. and, and, you know, actually we ought to expect more from, from a european union member state, we ought to expect more from the european union, which is supposed to be a union of values rather than, you know, as cynical instrumentalists zation of the situation and saying that because this is bella bruce's, you know, orchestrated threat and we, we only need to focus on that and we don't need to look at our own responsibility for the suffering which is being experience turkeys, currency. the lever has hit a record low against the us dollar a day after presenter ship typo on defended his policy of shop interest rate cuts.

. malcolm where every force from kalama mine in luna, by province. the these miners work at one of the largest informal cobalt mines in the democratic republic of congo. for the 1st time. some of them have been given safety jackets and han hands and the manages planned to limit the number that things didn't go to plan. thousands of mine is one to work here. none of them can afford to miss a day's digging. there are a few jobs in congo, the growing demand for electric vehicle batteries, for which cobalt is used in the men about $4.00 a day. about a 5th of the countries cobalt extracted by hand with known as his mind. most of them are legal. nobody counts the accidental death. the government says it wants to formalize the sector and by all it's cable,

the government is going through the price. the government is going through the production, the government's going through, everything it has to be of there was, anyone can come in the country and do everything they want to do. the government says it will open you off his mining sites, not k. what will happen to the existing mind office a warrant that we shut down for breaking roof. that's why they're providing hot house for the 1st time. we met the man who controls this mind. the hotel he's building in the nearby city of co ways. he. he says he's frustrated by the government plan called general cobalt enterprise, or e d. c. c h, i met with e g c prioritizes creating a monopoly. it will be a problem for us. the priority is to formalize the artistic mining sector. we don't want to be blogs, we will continue selling minerals to those who actually finance our operation for them. i use it a board next,

but that's not because i'm not back of mine. shift is sure not to just say they need more time to make it face point thing in there about 200000 dollars for a little online at about a 1000000 the number of people are getting very rich when the cobol mining industry. no. okay. so the table here, so barely be paid anything for the shore shift. if a tool there's no order here. we need order because we have too many. we need to buy the people into the group to work on different days. more appealing for better conditions. so we can work properly. none of us have a good position in life. if we weren't here, we'd be stealing things in town to survive. many wondering if any reforms will

secondary body, but it's the 1st time scientists are attempting such an experiment. and this is how they're going to do it. like they die more of a circle than astroid co did a moth. nasa has waited for it to get close to earth. a mere 11000000 kilometers away. the spacecraft will reach speeds of more than 24000 kilometers per hour and head straight towards it. they're hoping the crash would take both objects out of course, even if ever so slightly. and it will all be streamed by a video back to earth. that would tell us a lot about if you want to deviate completely. as more or less, the lights will be earth. what type of spacecraft to what speed, what weight? what impact will need to have to deflect an asteroid sign to say the results of the experiment all fine. so if an asteroid measuring just a few 100 meters collides with our planet, it could have devastating consequences. what they're really targeting our asteroids

that could be like regional and destroyers like something that could have a huge impact and say, a certain part of the, the planet. so it's really important that we have a means to protect against those scientists hope the small impact will be a huge step forward to protecting a potentially devastating impact on us. laura bos, manley, al jazeera, ah, logan, i'm fully battle with the headlines on al jazeera, ethiopia prime minister abbey, a med has left the capital and is headed toward the front line to lead his troops in battle against degree and rebels. this comes just hours after the united nations order the immediate evacuation of its international staff. if european journalist samuel get a chew has the latest from addis ababa, he said doctor, on monday night.
