a breakthrough of sorts as the rebels have been previously opposed to any a u involvement, the united nation says welcome the development and said it's ready to support the a you with the process. the announcement coincides with ethiopia new year. the usa department has called on ethiopia, leaders to try and put the country back on a path of peace. rosalind jordan has more well the us has been very concerned about chuck, the resumption of hostilities between the ethiopian military, the t p l. life of the rebels in the northern part of ethiopia as to cry, region, and error tre, enforces coming across the border to basically amp up the violence. and so there has been a this a renewed concern. the special envoy for the horn of africa, michael hammer, has been in addis ababa since september 5th meeting with officials. not just in the ethiopian government, but also with the leadership of the t p l. f. the main rebel for saw in the

northern part of ethiopia trying to lay the groundwork for some sort of piece talked. he's also, i've been meeting with a you officials. the process is such that the u. s. wants to see. all parties lay down their arms and try to get into peace talks as quickly as possible. on sunday, the u. s. secretary of state antony blank and released a statement. i'm urging all parties to engage in peace talks, and you try to seize the opportunity. in the name of the ethiopian people try to basically restore stability, restore. com, and also deal with a growing humanitarian crisis. william laurence from the american university is a former u. s. diplomat in charge of u. s. african engagement. he says the cease fire proposal is an important development. it's very significant. it's not an, it's not sufficient. it doesn't solve all the upstanding issues, but it does take one obstacle off the table and it's notable that they didn't agree

to be a mediator. they agreed to the a you. so that opens the door to any number of possibilities in one that's been proposed. it had the a mediate, but perhaps a team of officials and not the particular official to which the tpl has been objecting. why they both sides have realized, you know, one way or another and leaving hardliners a little bit to the side to make this point. that they can't win the big war. and so the only question is, you know, what gains do you make that both influenced the final lines of any agreements and influence the tenor of the negotiations. and i think the, the large mobilization to the north into the south of t great wasn't enough to, you know, lead that to grant to believe they were going to be defeated or that mckelly was going to be taken again or anything like that. but it was a concern, and i don't think they felt like they were gaining much on the battlefield as much as they could gained at this point. i'm going to go see ation table to grants have

been putting down preconditions, addison rejecting those. but a lot of it has to do with the restoration of services. and of course the humanitarian corridors, which was the reason for the march truce in the 1st place. and you know, it would be whether or not that the precondition or not it be great if addis ababa could start making some can concession area marks and make some moves in terms of humanitarian assistance and, and, and services to move things in the direction of a proper negotiations. a right wing alliance look set to win the swedish election, taking power from magdalena anderson, just 10 months into her reign as prime minister. it could give the far right sweden, democrats a place in government for the 1st time. paul reese reports from stockholm. hey swedish prime minister magdalena, i'm the showman casts a vote in stockholm. her last contribution and campaign to stop by right wing coalition taking power. i will always find it rather emotional to go voting. and

and sumi have been affected. an estimated 9000000 people have been hit by the outages including territory controlled by russia. but the hamid has more from hockey, we are in a black out at the moment. actually the is at power outages in 5 regions in the north east and the eastern part of the country. they are also unconfirmed, reported they are power, power outages, old away to odessa. but as i said, those were unconfirmed reports. now what we're hearing from officials is that the russians have hate critical infrastructure. they're not telling us what all where, but certainly that is deaf in this city is in pitch black. we were actually under streets when that happened. crane is have made this formidable advance since the beginning of the month taking a lot of people by surprise here. many wondering how did that happen,

especially that there was this sort of stalemate over the summer. there was this war of attrition between the 2 sides and all of a sudden things turned i went, ukrainians got more weapons, found their western allies that gave them an edge. and all of a sudden they were able to hit the russians behind the defensive lines. and then push through the defensive lines. now, out the question many have is, what will happen next? what will the russians do? people don't expect that they would dead, just pull down, having no plan that the russians are saying they're regrouping, assert, and a lot of questions up in the year. but if the green is managed to hold a ground, this will certainly be a turn in this war. they have the momentum at the moment. now the challenge is to keep that momentum. franklin, which is a senior lecturer in military strategy and law at the university of portsmouth. he

says the gains made by the ukrainians in recent days are significant. is this is a strategic victory for you. questions of a similar significance? probably greater significance actually, dom that defeated russia here in march, a strategic a couple of reasons. first of all, it demonstrates highest levels in the international community wavering international community in a doubting community. ukrainians kind of serious losses on the russians. it's a turning point in hunting or demonstrating ukrainian initiative. but it's also a demonstration of that acumen of their skills incumbent on bringing all the training out over the last few months. if i yes. all together now to take a far greater than the russians have taken since since april. it's very significant

and it demonstrates you're also a deception and it's an intelligence qu, and it's a remarkable display of russian ineptitude. u. s. president joe biden has march 21 years since the 911 attacks the deadliest attack on american soil in u. s. history. he took part in a reef laying ceremony of the pentagon, remembering the nearly 3000 people who died bite and spoke of the recent killing of a man. and so i heard the man who led up by the after the death of osama bin laden in 2011, saying the threat of another attack in the u. s. is never ending because we will not rest. we'll never forget. we'll never give up. now our harry can never again threatening the american people in 20 years at dr. dennis dennis over. but our commitments are ready. another attack denies stages without ad our intelligence,

it feels almost universal. actually, everyone must want to be here. but of course, that's not the case. elsewhere, life goes on largely undisturbed, respectfully blacked out display windows at one of london's most famous stores serve only to hide the bustle of shoppers inside a majority, generally approve of the monarchy in britain today. but much of that is down to the popularity of the queen and her grandchildren. for younger generations, it is an institution with questionable relevance. personally, it doesn't affect me. i know that might sound a bit insensitive thought. i understand the significant thought it doesn't have an impact on my life. personally, i think that's the general feeling with my friends. i think they're good. it's good to have like a head or like a figure to look up too. but i just don't think that is related for a lot of people now. god save the king. while the new king is
