. let's speak to some, you'll get a true as an independent journalist. he joins me now live from out of some about good to see you. is it a surprise to hear that the united arab emirates has been providing this military support to the union army? well, the, you killed them, foreign minister or the children government, and you have had a historic relationship that perhaps grew auto further. 2018. coming on this quite minister prime minister. i'll be visited by him many times and he has please the national by or the nation. so you a son, important partner in terms of the time for him, he has support city. so i mention support giving as much as $3000000000.00 a few years ago. when he was going to sound with short agents, but this supports me to tell you support,

there's no surprises that it has been on open curve. in addition to share presidents has also caged in some sort of military support. some of the drones we've seen launched again, it's how get that part. so for today is the support that the government has been receiving from turkey. so it hasn't been shy away in terms of acknowledging the prime minister has said he's willing to work with span the nation. the u. s. has we need the relationship between the 2 countries has been used to a historic low. so this is where the partnership has been focused on in the last year, and this is also price. despite this ministry support the t p, f on its partners have been encroaching ever closer to the capital. either saba talk us through the latest in terms of the fights in how close are things getting out of hand as they move towards either saba, while we can guess, you know,

there's only one fuck different versions, you know, different claims. but what we know for certain behind which is only 24 hours away from the top of the top local residence to carry these to identify them . you know, if they have any connection to the left. and they've also told the displaced people of thousands of them that have run away from parts. so for including that base composure to stay within their home compounds and movements. busy has been restricted to make sure that should the t p enough come to debra, which is again to end, how are so we from i'd be some of us that would be wish that there will be some kind of, you know, reaction from the children side. but again, we've been hearing rumors that they're coming, they're nearby, but again,

they don't seem to be anywhere close to the celebre. that's normal as it gets in the daytime. but i buy more inspections. id mean check knocks on our doors. this is what the state of emergencies. they cannot be so many things that some you get to choose an independent journalist speaking to a staff from this into as turn to see dawn where security forces have used tear gas to disperse crowns of protesters. at least $41.00 people were killed at protest since the military took over last month. demonstrations to honor them have happened in multiple cities security forces deny using live fire brought mr. dallas hun, doc has ordered investigation. he was reinstated on to signing a deal with the military on sunday, talking about it. i'll just there as a result, sada meets with one family. his daughter was killed in the protests. the fight for

democracy has come with the high course. for one stood on his family, xena packard, a mother lost her youngest daughter, sit on the food on november 17 in protest against admitted to take over a month before back. our says her 24 year old daughter was a nurse who dreamed of saving lives, but her life was suddenly taken away from them last week. no, well i love. when i land she died, i couldn't see or feel anything. i started screaming and my heart was about to stop . i couldn't handle that. she was like a mother to me even though i and her mother. what else can i say? this video taken by fellow protests as on the day documents to find them almost off, sit and afford life. her friends who were protesting with her, carried her by the back home. her father was at work when he got the call

about his daughter uni that i told her about him. i'm trying to deal with the loss of my beloved one. i got back home, the door was locked and i saw his dead body being carried by her friends. i cried. her friends cried. she was taken from little, oh, hundreds of thousands in sudan had been protesting against a military, which is the power on october 25th, dissolving the companies 2 years transitional government and arresting senior political figures. more than 40 people have been killed and some 200 others injured . so don's police have denied using live emission on protesters despite several videos showing man in uniform fighting on civilians. the military takeover has thraso down into a political crisis. prime minister up to law humble, who was under house arrest, has been reinstated, as part of an agreement with the military to try and bring the country back to it's part of transition of the decades of military rule. but many protesters have opposed the deal saying they want the military out of power and held accountable

for the lives lost, or the 1st serve and other protest her who was injured in one of the demonstrations . despite those injuries, he told us that security forces detain him for 2 days, which he described as the toughest of his life. the millionaire, the security forces attacked us. i fell down, i was shot and then arrested bob. i've been beaten and hurt. they took me in the truck casa, then every single soldier there, hit my head. my hands and legs were handcuffed. prime minister, hum, duke has polish to set up a committee to looking to the deaths of protesters for xena beckers family. an investigation will not bring her daughter back, but see them full sister says that she find some comfort. in the reason her sister participated in the protest hasn't been one of my mother may know what when she was about to die. she told her friend, i'm dying for my country. i caused that many others how paid and more co pay as the

transition to democracy ensure done remains fragile families grieving, loved one se, on the complete democratic rule, can't deliver them. the justice they demand. restoral said that i'll just era cartoon. plenty more ahead on the knees out, including coven, 19 deaths, and germany surpass 100000. as european countries struggle to contain a resurgence of corona virus. fears grove, the lies of dozens of russian miners, france down a shaft in siberia and in sport will hear from le bron james as he returns to action after one game. ah, britain and france are trading blame over who is responsible for the deaths of $27.00 refugees and migrants who drowned after their boat sank in the english

channel. it's the worst such disaster there since the un started keeping record 7 years ago. the british homes actually pretty patel says more needs to be done to stop people making the dangerous crossing. but there's no quick fix. what happened yesterday was a dreadful shock. it was not a surprise, but it is also a reminder of how vulnerable people up and put at paris when in the hands of criminal gangs. the missiles, say madam deputy speaker, no quick fix. this is about addressing long tom poll factors smashing the criminal guns that cheat human beings as cargo and tap in supply chains. or france has invited ministers from belgium, the netherlands, germany, and the u. k. for talks in cali on sunday, the french president emanuel macklin says they need to work together to deal with the crisis. he lou for developing the many local police. we must strengthen our

partnership and hold our partners to account. and we need to strengthen cooperation with belgium, the netherlands, germany, but also the british and the european commission. there will be a series of meetings in the coming hours and days to prevent arrivals on french soil and to better involve the british in the prevention of those and functionalities by dismantling smugglers networks. we have dismantled tens of them in the recent weeks, but we need stronger european cooperation on that matter. that ticket and her summons has been following developments on the french side of the english channel. they were ounce a half way across. we think that to england, the white cliffs of dover ahead of them, the sea was calmer at the time that it is right now. but nevertheless, it was far too much for the tiny, small, a very frail, boat flimsy. it capsized it's believed deflated. the people were in the water, it was bitterly cold and they, well,

they stood no chance emmanuel macro. the french president has said security all along the coastline is fairly intense and they're doing their very level best. but something like 25000 people have crossed this channel this year alone, and that's triple the number of the previous year. so the situation is described by one charity dealing with the immigrants coming here all the time and rounded up and, and sent to to shelter has described it really as not just the responsibility of the criminal gangs, the, the people smugglers who are being criticized so heavily by politicians, but also by the french and the british governments for not doing enough to dissuade these people and give them a legal form of crossing to get to the u. k. i speak to paul brennan. he is in dover in the united kingdom. what is the situation where you are

well, the situation in practical terms here at dover is that we know of 2 boats that arrived early this morning, carrying around 40 refugees and migrants. and they have been taken and are being processed and will be taken on to that next destination down the chain. as far as we know that haven't been any other attempted crossings to day, the weather looks benign. it might say, look benign to you with the sunshine, but it's bitterly cold and hovering around 3 degrees centigrade at with the wind, chill and out in the center. the english channel, the swell of ways is a moderate c, as they say, it's around 2 and a half meters, the waves, and would be a very fierce currents in the center of the english channel. and the onshore wind, a head wind, essentially for migrants heading in this direction. it's not the optimum conditions . that said, weather is going to get worse towards the weekend. so the window of opportunity for migrants and refugees to try to make the crossing is closing. at what is the u. k.

government a saying about this, how much press are they under? ah, they're on that to do something of asset. well, look, that immigration is a real touchstone topic here in the united kingdom. it was central to the rex it's debate which saw britain come out of the european union, taking back control of borders, a central slogan. it's in that debate, but the pressure on the u. k. government to do something different is becoming overwhelming. we heard pretty patel the home secretary who stood up in the parliament just earlier today talking about new legislation talking about trying to tackle the gangs. but refugee groups are saying that this should be a wake up call. that this continual criminalization of people who are essentially the victims of the smugglers and the traffic is needs to be re thought and that it's just not working. the needs to be safe ways for genuine refugees to claim

asylum here in the u. k. without having to risk the need to cross this treacherous stretch of water. the fact is that in order to claim asylum in the u. k. refugees have to get here and with no safe way of getting here. they can't. and that is essentially what reggie group say, drives people to take these awful and often deadly risks. many, thanks to that co, brennan, that for some diver. meanwhile, some 300 migrants have been rescued at c. i. the nice by the italian coast guard rescue crews say the base was in distress because of the large number of people on board and the rough conditions and see the boat was around 20 kilometers from the on in of lamp. and he said, a frequent arrival point from migrants trying to reach europe. italy seen a shop increase of migrants arriving. i boat in recent weeks.

now, germany's karone of ours, dest hole has officially passed 800000. authorities recorded 351 debts in just the past 24 hours. hospitals are rapidly filling up across the country and some have called for help from other you states. germany announced tougher restrictions last week to curb the outbreak. and there's a similar picture in other parts of the world in a moment will go to natasha butler, who's in the caribbean on in of guadalupe where protests have been taking place against titan karone of ours restrictions. and in the us, alan fisher standing by there for all his cases, rise over the holiday season. but 1st let's go to europe with dominic cane lifers in berlin. so dominic germany has started taking in had started taking in patients from the netherlands. now they're asking for more help themselves. what is going on?

what you have to understand when you contemplate the reality of cove it here in germany, is that for a long time, the situation here seemed to be stable during 1st, 2nd, waves of covert. but in the course of this autumn season, the numbers of new infections, the number of deaths and the numbers of people refusing to have the vaccine. well, they have caused a real log jam as it were, a real problem here. so it has seemed, in the course of the past week, certainly maybe even longer than that 2 weeks, the not a day has gone by without one somber statistic or another happening. we've hands the day when more than 5000000 infections at half an hour, at 5 and a half 1000000 with had a day of record numbers of new infections at 65000. well, today it's 75000. and then perhaps the statistic that stands out the most 100000 deaths and counting being announced today. the reason for this is because many of

the unvaccinated people in this country are catching the delta variance, which we know is much more infectious than previous ferrets. and indeed, more dangerous once it gets inside people's systems. so those people are all turning up at the hospital at pretty much the same time. and the hospitals can't cope. that's why they're asking neighboring countries to take in some of their patients. because otherwise they say they're in real problems and some of them already having to go into tree arch mode where they prioritize patients for treatment over others because of cove it dominic, there's a sense of there's a very here what is the picture across the rest of the continent will, in some senses, it is a relatively similar picture, this, this explosion of case is the delta variance taking hold and lots of different parts of the, of the content at the same time. so we know, for example, in the netherlands, the government there is saying that it wants to announce heavy measures that sits

phrase which they expect to announce on friday, but they haven't specified what heavy measures might actually mean. bearing in mind that when restrictions were imposed in the netherlands in the course of the last week or so, there were violent scenes process in different dutch cities. we know also that in the czech republic there has the government there is decided to impose a state of emergency. and we also know that in central europe, you have austria in lockdown right now and forcing all its citizens as of next february, a mandating that everyone has to have the vaccine. so you have a sense that this delta variant taking hold, filling up hospitals and spilling, and as it were rippling around the you at the same time. certainly that's how it feels here in germany and perhaps also in austria. rather bleak picture as we approached the christmas holidays. many thanks. that dominant came in berlin. let's go live to alan fisher, who's in washington dc, and not

a key holiday coming up in the states talk us through what the concerns are. there was 92000 cases roughly every single day or we're finding that there's about a 1000 deaths more than 30 states have reported an increase in their corporate numbers. that's pretty a strain on hospital systems right across the united states. many intensive care units are close to fool, and that means that non priority cases are being turned away from was bottles here in the united states, around 30 percent of americans still unvaccinated. the majority of them identifies republican. here's the correlation. the majority of those her turning up sick over there was 92000 cases. most of them are on vaccinated. that this is a big holiday. it's thanks giving day here in the united states. for the last few days, we've seen huge numbers of people getting on to planes and trains and driving their

heading to family gatherings, all across the united states. just on wednesday, the biggest travel day. normally in the united states, we saw 2300000 travelers. going through tier see security checkpoints that compares to 2600000 just 2 years ago. so you can see, we're almost back at pre pandemic levels. and when people get to the destination, they're involved in big family gatherings, or they go to thanksgiving parades, or they go to sporting events. and the concern is that a year ago, they would have been seen the superstructure events and with 30 percent of people unvaccinated. that is the possibility that this increase across the united states could become much worse in the coming 2 or 3 weeks. and he, thanks for that, alan fish are there for us in washington, dc. as 20 natasha butler. he was life as in lamb can in guadalupe natasha. i believe you are the roadblock there. can you give us a sense of what is happening?

yes, the situation still very difficult on the french caribbean island of quad loop because they're all of these road blockades across the island that's causing a lot of disruption. it makes it very difficult for people to get around. now the one that you see behind me is on a main road that connects the 2 major parts of this island. it's road that used to get to the main city points of pete. and that's where, for example, the hospital vol. i've been speaking to protest is here, and they're saying, look, this is about demonstrating against a covey restrictions that have been imposed by the french government. we're talking about because it health policy, talking about mandatory vaccination for health workers firefighters, and those sorts of jobs. the same restrictions i must point out that have been imposed in fraud, but people here feel that they are simply unfair. there's a lot of distrust of the vaccine. a lot of people worried about taking it. they say they don't know what the long term effects all, but there's also

a lot of distrust in the french government, and that's all being mixed up so that the picture is here, that this is really symbolic of a much wider malaise and gladly the protest is telling me they are fed up with frauds and the government in paris, ignoring them even though they have equal rights as french citizens. they say the unemployment is here, there is poverty. a 3rd of households don't even have clean drinking water, and that's simply unacceptable for them. so what are the french, what is the french government saying about this? well, so far the response from the french government has been that they really want to try and calm the situation and return. and or i see a return to law and order said they have sent in hundreds, all police officers and special forces. and the situation is suddenly being more calm in terms of the past few nights. we haven't seen some of the on rested wood seen at the beginning of this strike, which was more than

a week ago now. nevertheless, there are lots of businesses that have been looted cause that have been burns and this disruption here continues. the french government is also set up what they've called a form for dialogue. that was initiative of the french prime minister john cast eggs to talk to officials in guadalupe to talk about some of the issues and problems and see if they can find solutions. but whether that will be enough, it really isn't clear and really symptomatic of what is going on for people in guadalupe is the fact that the french government has not even sent a minister to quad loop to talk to people here and see the situation. natasha butler, the 1st live in law buchanan. thank you. european union representatives are in the besieged garza strip to discuss humanitarian conditions. the e contributes to social welfare allowances in garza hurt us as outside you and officers say they haven't received any funds during the last 6 months. una l said

spoke to the head of the delegation about the financial aid deficit said as $1300000000.00 us dollars completely unsustainable. this deficit steps principally from the fact that easter, as the occupying power does not fully commit to it's called to as obligations under the pairs protocol was holding important amounts of funds, which initially were supposed to be part of the domestic revenue of a lot of the past your 30 unfortunately, and that is a specific issue right now in 2020. the issue comes to a new financial programming period from $21.00 to $27.00. and there's a process whereby we need to program for the entire t of the neighborhood. the eastern anthem, not a neighbor, including palestine this up and this process is being finalized as we speak of as a result of which it was impossible for us to move as any finance for the p a in

the course of 2020, with the exception of an amount which i just authorized about one month ago, salaries and pensions of $50000000.00 for the p. a. that however, that of a does not explain why nothing has been paid to the poor families and garza and the respect interval 20 at least 11 people have been killed off to a fire broke out in a mine in russia. siberia region, emergency services rescued. more than 200 people who were trapped dozens were also injured. rescue at the top and stores because of the threat of an explosion. bernard smith, half a native from moscow. the rescues of being hampered by the risk of a further explosion. we know 9 people have been killed and 46 remain trapped under ground. now there were $285.00 underground at the time of the accident. so

most of those have been brought to the surface and alive. there isn't much more information on what's happening at the moment. this might have hard previous accidents. there was one in 2004 where a methane explosion killed 13 people. and unfortunately, these sort of actions are not unusual in russia is mining sector is very, very bad record when it comes to safety standards is pull monitoring of safety standards. and there's poor maintenance of it all sort of soviet era equipment. so these sort of accidents happen more frequently and frequently than, than they would elsewhere in the world. still head on al jazeera truth and reconciliation in gambia along the way to report issues its verdict ins, allegations of torture and canons. women rights activists enjoy jackie's government

failing to act against rising online abuse. and in sports, we find out why this and it fell down stamping at roommate, announced his health. ah sees la windsor sing the rabbit, please. at this time of the year, particularly in the gulf, and there's a bit of a breeze picking up on friday. but note this orange here, this is sand picked up into the air which got to be brought somewhere. beyond that, there are a few showers in the round something in the turkey, this rate on its way into western turkey as well. it's quite in between. so say on friday the wind starts, then di, is there a shout in q 8 and crossing into iran. but justin ears could be brought somebody be gathered up. i think brought sas in, that shamal strong one on saturday dusty one as well.
