part to go into cheddar and singer, songwriter, skin carry other people, wait a minute, you get way down. you thought what you're doing and maybe one studio b unscripted on al jazeera ah violent protests for a 2nd day in a row in the solomon islands, as anger grows against the government's failed promises. ah, there i'm associate. hey, this is al jazeera live from dar ha, also coming up. oh, joining the fires against to grind rebels. hundreds are recruited by the ethiopian government. has the prime minister pledges to lead from the front? europe's covered 19 crisis. more than 800000 people have now died in germany.

and mine as a democratic republic of congo, put their lives at risk to dig out a mineral used in batteries for electric cars. ah no astray. leah is saying it's going to send troops to the solomon islands to help restore order there. as the country faces a 2nd day of rising. the protesters one prime minister, monassa sobari to resign. say me, island has been neglected by the government. they also oppose a 2019 decision to switch diplomatic allegiances from taiwan to china. ha, from all it speak to sarah clark. she is across this forest from brisbin in australia. sarah, this isn't the 1st time that cameras deployed peacekeepers to the solomon islands, but the last time i believe it was militia violence. so this is really a reflection of how serious the situation is getting. there was really the prime

minister scott last, and industry alia, has the last hour i held this press conference after a national security meeting, where this issue was central to discussions. and they've announced that due to the escalated intentions and the escalating political risk that we've seen over the last 2 days or so with those hundreds of people define that. so could you, on the ground in the capital, studies decided to send troops announced the 20 troops at the small number, but they are hitting to from towns will in queens where i am to one of our as we speak and we get another group of but for your heading there on friday, and this is simply to monitor the situation and do what the prime minister said is to try to store debility and security on the ground and of the prime minister that he wants to straighten at to help the police. he's also now he's spoken to the prime minister of p g as what happened getting. so it's a bulletin situation that's why the prime minister described it. and as a result, that tried to do that,

but they deploy troops to try and stabilize this bullet hall degeneration. so i'm curious about what's behind that. we've also seen plenty of anti chinese sentiment there before, including chinese and businesses being lucid and burned. what's behind all this will be interesting kind of almost essential reason for this unrest. it's ongoing, underlying tension between the most populous title province, i should say, in solomon islands the malaysian province and the anger against the central government and the prime minister. and that's because a couple of years ago, in 2019 the federal government, a switch to pitney ditched it allegiance to taiwan, which has it been diplomatically taught as an ally for about 36 years, but it switched to china and that as anger, this particular product and this particular province still remains very loyal to type pay. and i want to, i want to offers a huge amount of financial aid to this province, despite the fact that the federal government also has pledged its allegiance to

china. and of course, the united states still fund office financial aid to this particular province. so it's in this particular area, the pacifica become a diplomatic background between china and taiwan. and try to doesn't want these pacific islands to recognize taiwan on its own. china believe that he wanted to rogue breakaway province and should be a pop china once again. this particular region, the pacific used to be a stronghold, a very traditional kind of law, traditionally loyal to taiwan. but at the moment that we're seeing 2 countries, pacific pacific cure best and filming on now placed there, relates to china and with thing on a full countries now in the pacific back taiwan. so it is a diplomatic background between china and taiwan. very interesting. see how that plays out. sarah clark, that for us across that from brisbin in australia. thank sir. no international

cause for a diplomatic solution to end the violence in ethiopia or growing the u. s. and the un, both calling for an immediate end to the fighting. it will assist with a partially columbia the peace process in columbia today inspires me to make an urgent call to the protagonists of the conflict and ethiopia for an unconditional, an immediate cease fire to save the country and to allow for dialogue between ethiopians to resolve the crisis and allow for ethiopia to go back to contributing to stability in the region that i would like columbia to be an example to follow for the leaders of ethiopia. but meanwhile, other new volunteers actually being recruited to join the ethiopian army. they're fighting rebels from t gray who've been advancing on the capital ada suburban, the t p l. f rebels began their advance from tig right late last year. they 1st took control of em horror and afar. and then at major road running south to the capital, addis ababa and the strategically important towns of culture and dessie. as you can see, that felt earlier this month. and then just last week, they seized show

a rabbit, a tory gate and be reports. abby has made once described war as the epitome of hale, but ethiopia is prime minister, is now front and center in a conflict that's been raging for a year. he reached the front line on tuesday, according to government spokesman, and is now personally leading the military against rebels from the northern te gray region, leaving the business of government to his deputy. it is a big gumble, if you look at past kind of similar gambled when champion ben tried in president eateries, debbie went to the front lines and he lost his life even when b and actually defeated the rebels in china. and so i, my niece is risking is nice, ah, abby's decision to go to the front line. his boosted recruitment, the ethiopians, beleaguered armed forces. thousands have signed up to follow abby's lead,

including olympic gold medalist high league, upper selassie. the 48 year old retired champion says he felt compelled to act in sports. i only thought about butter a sportsman. it was an ambassador for peace. now when i, sam, going to the frontline people could say, wait a minute, you have been a mediator and you're a sportsman alumnus porters, what peace and love you know how good, what should you do when the existence of a country is at stake? they just put down, everything's nothing will stop you. fighting between the ethiopian government, anti grain rebels has escalated in recent weeks, rebel fighters and now around 200 kilometers from the capital at the top of the presidents of kenya and south africa as well as the u. s secretary of state of reiterated calls for a ceasefire. there were concerns the wall could spill over across the horn of africa. already the horn is very unstable. we saddam the recent school there are some odd yeah, still disintegrating,

archibald ground there. now the last thing that they're reach on wishes to have is a disintegrate. and if your and the west's interests are going to really just go up in flames. ah, as these new recruits prepared to head to the front line to join government forces and negotiated settlement doesn't look likely anytime soon. victoria gate and be al jazeera. that's vance, and you'll get a cheer, his any therapy and journalist, and he joins me now from addis ababa. samuel, let's start with abby. do we actually know where he is at the moment? well, according to the spokesperson of the fuel gun government, he's in the battle ground for opening leadership to the new and older recruits of the ethiopian armed forces. a deborah hahn which is the next major city only about 150 kilometers from id, sat about has taken, has given orders to the local citizens to carry their ideas wherever they go to

limit movements. they've told the old, the 80 piece to be in a shelter that has been assigned to them, expecting that this conflict will actually move on. but this comes again us a kenya and south africa you mention are pushing for some kind of cease fire. the u . s. and where it was just in town, he left, he has said that the closer the t p f gets on the summer. they're also there demands his growing. but as of last night, there has been, there was a zoom meeting that was leaked by a canadian activist, a conversation among former u. s. and new york and diplomats took a transition or looking at a regional change, a compromised the u. s. a country that can really play a role as it has been forced to only work alongside at maybe a support role without becoming an african in an employee. mister obasanjo funner

a year who has said there is a small window of opportunity to work in this out. and sort of this conflict in a more peaceful way. he has said this is a political decision that should be signed. so that's where we are at the moment. very interesting. well, as you've been saying, i've been calling on people to take up arms to defend at us, and we're seeing that recruitment drive that over the last few weeks. months various other factions have already joined the to grind side to including the aroma liberation army from his own ethnic group. so how strong are the forces heading towards the capital at the moment? to begin with, the difference between the oral more lewis and font and the t p level are day and night. the already left for the, for the 27 years when the t p life was dominant and it's your bank politics, military business against them. and it's a surprise, but they seem to have found a common enemy in this prime minister,

the at the house and been looking for a region change. the owen larry has said in the last few weeks there and mirror d'silva, they're about to enter the seller bar there in the summer of the summer rush. but that was proven to be wrong. so this conflict and the partnership we are, we have we are, we've been seeing between the 2, the surprising but the job and government said they are aware of them are they have declared both of them. i said as a terrorist organization. so we have yet to see how their partnership that was founded, you know, looking at a common enemy will play out on the ground. but there doesn't seem to be any, you know, advancement about school. and i, we have his, her last sammy out there. we'll get him back a little bit later that in the meantime, let's move on and in somalia, a bomb attack has killed at least 5 people and capitol mogadishu,

and reported to have targeted a convoy of african union mission vehicles. a school close to that blast has also been damaged until the pandemic now and germany is corona virus death toll has officially passed 800000 or 30 is recorded 351 deaths. over the past 24 hours, hospitals are rapidly filling up across the country and some have already called for help from other you states. germany announced a tougher restrictions last week to cab the outbreak. meanwhile, an overnight cathy who is holding on the french caribbean island of guadalupe after days a violent protest against the $1000.00 restrictions. and since during the longstanding grievances over poverty and equality vaccination rates, there remain low less than half the population having received corona virus jobs. the purchase of also spread to the nearby island of martinique. natasha butler has been following developments for us in point a piece in guadalupe. well, there is a night time curfew so the streets are empty,

everything is shot. but the situation remains tend, mainly because some protesters have built barricades across roads in several parts of the island. so that is meant that it's very difficult to get around the island. we've heard some people have been unable to reach hospitals, other people to simply be too scared to go on the road because they're very worried about coming across these barricades. and these are located now. the unrest began more than a week ago. it began as a strike, a demonstration against the coven. how past and again, mandatory vaccination for health workers, but it is simply spiral into something so much bigger. is many people who used to not use the opportunity to voice their grievances against the french government for the social and economic situation. in broad lube, we're talking about poverty, high unemployment figures, and a feeling amongst many people in port luther. they are simply ignored by the government and metropolitan from that they are treated by 2nd call citizens by

pirates. all the facts, of course, has been compounded by the fact that the french government has not yet sent a minister to quad loop to oversee the situation. this week, however, the french prime minister john cast eggs did meet officials, an m p 's by video conference from quad loop to talk about their grievances. he's opened up what he's called a form for dialogue, where they can talk some ideas or solutions. the piracy for the french government is though to restore a. com and law and order and they have flown in more than 200 police officers and special forces. mostella had here on out as in the was to migrant tragedy and english channel. and yes, amazes alarm in france and the u. k. o 3 men charged in the death of a black man shot while jogging and georgia are convicted of his matter. ah,

ah, look forward to brighter skies the weather sponsored my cattle a ways snow's about make a rather more widespread appearance in your than it has done recently. it's been curly ground, the high granite spain, but now it's coming down. i think from the next prophet of polar push in the north of you, we've had snow in norway and there's more to come. but you notice this wind here changes to a normally bought it friday that drives cold air and stow across the higher ground of scotland, england as well, possibly northern ireland, and that cold eventually pushed down towards the north of france. in fact, paris could see a little bit of sleepy weather in the air. that is the big circulation. but ahead of it, you'll notice the snow showing up in central europe. that's because down the western met with circulating a lot of moisture and pushing it up north was of the to come together with the

mountains. so although we get only a little bit more snow in spain and a significant amount of rain 1st and south of france than in italy, it will be then this line that runs up through tele doubts and the tear all both germany and austria where significant snow is likely to fall ins, brooke, for example, i think we'll see 2 days of overcast snowy weather and the subtle try and show itself on sunday. most of north africa is fine and drive it is particularly warm in senegal, and then towards northern gala, nearly a record. the weather sponsored by cattle airways, boated world best air line of 2021. indonesia, the country with an abundance of results. trade already won indonesia, his ferns forming, we moved full to growth and france. we balance for green economy, blue economy, and the digital economy with the new job creation law, indonesia is progressively ensuring the policy reform to create quality jobs

investment. let's be part when denise is growth and progress. invest even easier now. ah . oh. are they wanting out of their that's remind you that up stories here. the south australia says it's sending troops to the solomon islands to help restore order that has the country faces a 2nd day of rising. as you can see from these live pictures and honey are on the capital, the protest is what the prime minister to quit saying the government has neglected their island. the un secretary general is calling for an immediate end to fighting in ethiopia, and the u. s. has urging a cease fire and diplomacy on the ground though the ethiopian government is recruiting volunteers to join the war against tagline rebels. germany's corona

virus death toll has officially passed a 100000. hospitals are rapidly filling up across the country. they announced tougher restrictions last week to cope with the outbreak. meanwhile, some health officials in the united states are concerned about the possibility of another curve at 19 sag, and comes as millions of americans travel ahead of a thanksgiving holiday this weekend. rob reynolds reports, holiday travel is expected to be near pre pandemic levels. this thanksgiving with air travel expected to be up 80 percent over last year. for some, it's the 1st time at crowded airports since the virus brought travel nearly to a halt. it's a little nerve wracking. we have lots, a hand sanitizer, like the light, all that the face mask small, honestly, nervous to be in the airport. a lot of people, but there's good reason for that. trepidation,

st. eyes relaxed. although 195000000 people in the u. s. are fully vaccinated. that still under 60 percent of the total population, and coven chase rates are rising across the country with $92000.00 new cases. and $1000.00 deaths per day had into the 1st big holiday of the season into thanksgiving. we are seeing coven numbers rising in most states. nation wide, 30 of 50 states are showing increases in the number of covey cases being reported. and in the upper midwest in particular, we're seeing a really severe outbreak. states like michigan have been hard hit potentially a sign of things to come. we're far over capacity and really working hard to care for us. i'm afraid that what we're seeing here in michigan is probably just foreshadow we'll see across the country. despite the warnings in more than 770000 deaths,

a large group of people who thirds of whom identify as republicans remain unwilling to get vaccinated or to vaccinate their children. infections among the unvaccinated continue to drive this pandemic hospitalizations and death. tragically, at a time when we have vaccines that can provide incredible protection, doctors recommend people gathering for thanksgiving celebrations. exercise caution, that means masking indoors. that means perhaps doing rapid tests prior to gatherings. that means taking those extra precautions that yeah, we hoped we weren't going to have to do this year. nearly 2 years into the pandemic . weary americans are dealing with the new normal rob rentals al jazeera. now at least $27.00 refugees and migrants bound for britain have drowned after their boats sank in the english channel. the calais knots the west dissolves to on

the crossing since the u. n's international organization for migration started caving record 7 years ago. french and british leaders say they need to step up joint efforts to prevent people from making that dangerous tranny. andrew simmons reports now from cali. no silence for the dead. no flowers. there was grief though, and anger among a small group of migrant rights activists. men, women and a child seeking a better, more secure life with dead exploited by smugglers. their regular events on the french coast. those who died would have set about the journey, just like these fellow migrants and retinue. even with winter setting in their determined to reach britain 14 had died on the crossing this year. now, more than twice that number all died together. the worst ever tragedy in the english channel involving migrants and refugees. a fisherman said he could see from his boat to inflate a boating is one,

was overloaded with people. the other empty bodies were floating in the sea. they stood no chance submerged in icy cold water. many of them couldn't even swim. french prime minister jean cast ex said in a tweet that his thoughts were with the missing and injured victims of criminal smugglers who exploit their distress and misery. the british prime minister called an emergency meeting in london. this disaster underscores how dangerous it is to cross the channel in this way. and it also shows how vital it is that when i step up our efforts to break the business model of the gangsters who are sending people to see or in this way i say to our partners or across the channel. now is the time for us. oh, i to step up or to work together to do everything a we can to break these gangs who are literally getting away with murder. these

people did make it to the english coast on wednesday, after being picked up by life. folk volunteers around 25000 people cross the english channel from france this year, 3 times last year's figure. britain still receives far fewer asylum claims than countries such as germany or france. but the governments currently introducing legislation which would penalize asylum seekers who use so called a legal roots like crossing the channel rights groups point out legal routes or inaccessible for most and given how desperate these people are to reach the u. k. this may not be the last tragedy. on this scale. andrew simmons al jazeera kelly and police and terry. he have detained dozens of people, demonstrating that against the government. they were protesting against its

economic policies. after the country's currency plunged to historic law a day earlier, a turkish lira has lost almost half its value this year, and inflation is close to 20 percent. now, 3 white men in the u. s. state of georgia has been found guilty of murdering ahmed aubrey last year. the group chased aubrey in the truck as he jogged through their neighbourhood. all 3 claim to self defense and planning to appeal the verdict. she harbor tansy reports now from brunswick and georgia. her all 3 men involved in the killing of ahmed aubrey were found guilty of his murder count, one malice, murder, we the jury find the defendant, travis mc, michael guilty. we the jury find the defendant, greg mc michael guilty. we the jury find the defendant, william our brian guilty of $27.00 charges against travis and gregory mcmichael and william bron. the jury found him guilty of 20 threes. the panel did not accept the

defense is arguments that the men had the right to chase the black jogan in their pickup trucks, 2 of them all to one with a shot gun and confront him and shoot him dead on the pretext of self defense schiff outside the court house and i was surprised, relief and jubilation, but justice was done. but also realism, that one court victory does not mean the end of systemic racism in the us. well, when, when i grew up, we couldn't, everything was separate bathrooms, the water fountain, eat in places and that's a big difference. but we got a long way to go, a long way to go. i wouldn't, wouldn't go as far as to say was a huge leap, but it was a step in the right direction. nonetheless, it is striking that in the state of georgia, one of the most historically notorious of the south fullest slave owning states, a jury of 11 white people and one black person could reach such unanimity and in such a short amount of time. and let the word go forth all over the world that are jewelry

of 11 white and one black. come on in the deep south. good up in the court ra. a said that black labs do, man, oh, thank you. thank you. but those who marched, those who pray, most of the ones who prayed here, florida and now now with you know, i'm as a mom and i know miss quiz, he will now rest. and amid the joy there is a bitter awareness of thomas aubrey was murdered. the police and prosecutors in this county accepted the men's argument that they had every right to chase and kill a black dog in the neighborhood because they had an inkling that he was up to no good. it was only 2 months later when the video surfaced out amid grassroots pressure that the state intervened. so the question hangs in the air. what about

all the matters that weren't captured on camera? she every time see al jazeera brunswick now moving on and haiti is interim prime minister has one in his new cabinet more than 4 months after taking power. r l own read took office off to president driven moiz was assassinated back in july, new cabinet faces challenges including arise and gang violence and fuel shortages. while a landmark peace treaty between the states and fog rebels was signed in columbia 5 years ago now. but peace is yet to be achieved and the windows are doing so may be closing. alessandra rep here to travel to the calc region there he spoke to form a fight struggling to integrate his new armed groups. now battle for control of territory. fuller side grab a william marielle is rightly proud of is big farm. it's one of 3 projects. he started with hundreds of other demobilized fighters investing the roughly $2000.00

each. they received this part of their agreement to design. we're selling an average of $160.00 pigs a month, 40 per week of around 100105 kilos. we hope that with the 2 new sites will reach a 10120 a week. william says, reaching this point has been very difficult approval for the project arrived only a year ago, after long fights with bureaucracy says was set up to fail them in mobile. ya know, katie o, as in today's, this government has done everything possible to make the deal fail if it wasn't for the united nations and the international cooperation that are guarantors of the process got on. i wonder if i would be here. the government signed the historic piece deal with the fact 5 years ago, bringing to an end, the conflict that killed more than 200000 people over more than 5 decades. that many of the hopes of that day are fulfilled. even though most combatants as lay

down their arms by addressing poverty and inequality, promising road schools and jobs in many neglected rural areas of the country, the peace deal was supposed to end the root causes dep fuel the war. but 5 years later, little has changed. emma's always through, she honest, many accused the conservative government of even do care of slow walking good deals . implementation studies show that just 4 percent of the promised rule reform measures are complete. while cocaine production is at an all time high and new arm groups and fart, dissidence are perpetuating new cycles of violence. many reintegration camps are mostly empty after former fighters moved away under threat by armed groups. like claudia crews with former comrades has been trying to start a fish farm 1st. they were forced to leave their camp, then their leader was killed. if they are failed. okay,

and we live in fear on yet. this is worse than during the war. back then. we could at least defend ourselves left after 5 years. i thought we would have a place to live a little land and basic security. we feel disillusioned yet we endure aka. but despite during, during commitment success for them and the country remains elusive and a lasting peace is not guaranteed, allison, them gayety al jazeera cal dawn or coca. ah, hello there, this is al jazeera and these are the headlines. australia says it's sending troops to the solomon islands to help restore order as it faces a 2nd day of rising. the protest is not the prime minister to resign, saying the government has neglected them. sarah clark has more from brisbin in australia. australia has decided to send troops other been announced at 20 troops

as a small number bits at they are hitting to from townsville in queensland. and where i am at 220 our am as we speak and we got another.
