a 2 year conflict that's kill thousands of people and displaced millions. ah ha ha ha ha robin watching all of their life. my headquarters here in the hall also coming up on the program. north korea keeps up, it's miss our launch is 1st, 2nd day prompting the u. s. and south korea to extend joint military drills. we hear from a witness of a bridge collapse and india has killed more than a 140 people. and we meet the ebony artist to sound inspiration that the world cup in cat. ah, i welcome to the program. we begin with the breakthrough in talks to end the conflict in tig roy, the tier pin government and to grow and rebels of agree to end fighting that's kill tens of thousands of people. that the deal we'll see rebels giving up their light

weapons within a month and a detailed reintegration program. they've agreed for the ethiopian government to expand its work with humanitarian agencies to get much needed aid entity dry. federal forces will take control of apples and will rebuild infrastructure and restore public services. also, a system of transitional justice will examine alleged atrocities committed by both sides during the war. now the u. n. is heralding the deal as a critical 1st step. the african union says it's a new dawn for the country. for me. the mil reports are from the tory in south africa where the talks were held. after 10 days of talks in pretoria, ethiopia as federal government and the te gray people's liberation front, reached an agreement to in the fighting the talks mediated by former nigerian president alyssa gun up a sancho and former canyon president who kenyatta today is the beginning of

a new time for it filled with the on of africa. and indeed for africa, i'll say let me get it from god. what this little don't we are seeing in practice and a journal fishy. what we are trying to achieve for our sos over the years. and brother african solution for african problems. the 2 year conflicts killed, thousands of people enforced many more from their homes. t gray in ethiopia, north has been under a blockade for 17 months, with no banking, telephone and internet services or media access. but the gray and delegation says it's made painful concessions, and the trust must now be rebuilt out. people have been killed at only for bullets, but also for lack of food and medicine.

so children go to schools or hospitals. i'm not functional because of the work humanity renee does not expected to resume the t. p. l. f. dominated ethiopia politics for nearly 30 years. and for prime minister of the armored came to power in 2018 as both sides fought for territory human rights campaign. as a warrant of potential abuses by both sides in the conflict, it is now for all of us to have this argument. we must be through the letter in the spirit of the sacrament. the people of europe expected more than the text of the sacrament. date in mind, peace and harmony. date is that development international calls born into the war have been mounting in recent weeks. while the federal government has been assisted by troops from neighboring retreat,

that country was not involved in the talks. this is not the 1st time there's been an agreement to in the fighting a previous these via fell apart in august this year. this time though, they appears to be a greater commitment and optimism that this agreement will hold. some miller, i'll just there are tauriel, most korea zones, 3 more missiles prompting the u. s. and south korea to extend joint military exercises. one is suspected to have been a long range, intercontinental ballistic missile. the 2nd this year, the test comes a day off the pill. young 523 missiles. o'brien has more from sol. it's a further escalation in north korea's provocative missile testing. with one of the weapons suspected of being a new type of intercontinental ballistic missile. that it has shown off that recent parade called the 4th song 17. it was also famously featured in a promotional video starring the country's leader kim jong on, ah,

fearing it was being flown over the top of japan. as with previous tests, tokyo issued an alert to some northern pre fetches. the goodish, they had come ha, i was surprised, but thinking not again soon or twice in uncomfortable and all we might have to think again about going out fishing, which will impact our business. instead, it's thought the message may have failed mid flight landing in the sea, separating the korean peninsula and japan and hold it all. good analysis has indicated a possibility that it would fly over the japanese archipelago. and we see the public notice semester, the development device, c, b m's capable of reaching the continental united states, brought the korean peninsula to the verge of war. in 2017 thursday's law seems to be sending a message to the us ahead of its midterm elections in turn. the us has condemned the test calling for un security council resolutions meant to prohibit north korea

as weapons development to be more strictly enforced. on wednesday, north korea launched multiple salvoes of short range missiles in protest at joint ad drills being staged by south korean. and us air forces with one missile landing south that the de facto maritime border in response, south korea, 5 missiles mills of it. so it is the we're yeah, doing very fine. the aspect of joining like this, by your thought we are, we have the forces now in response to this icbm launch, the 2 allies have announced their military exercises will be extended public bride al jazeera. so lighting giant accuse abroad the officials during operations in several african countries is sent to find out its fate. shortly. a court in london

is expected to hand out a sentence to the case with come think line call in june blank, coffee to guilty to 7 bribery charges for the very latest that store invoice challenge is outside. so that crown court in london, a very complicated case, rory, what are we expecting to hear now? while in the next hour or so, what we're expected to get is a figure basically the amount of money that glen core is going to have to pay because of days. 7 counts of bribery that it's admitted guilt in back in june. that was when the serious fraud office basically secured a conviction, in the case that was launched back in 2019. what amounts to is there glank or essentially said yes we did on 7 counts. bribe officials in numerous african countries, countries, cameroon, equitorial, guinea, ivory coast, nigeria and south don. this is the process that went on for several years

in what is in many estimates, the world's biggest mining and commodity trading company with market capitalization . the moment about $76000000000.00. now some of the more lurid details that have been heard over the last couple of days in the court behind me were that blank or page middleman to fly cache around africa in private jets, basically taking them from country to country to bribe officials, an amount that total's $28000000.00. now the serious fraud office investigation, i say is not the only one. it's not a unique case. there are other cases that are going on will happen going on in other countries as well. particularly the united states, also the netherlands and switzerland as well. blank or the company has basically

put aside $1500000000.02 pay out in these punitive charges. $1100000000.00 of that is for the united states case. so that is by far the biggest chunk of the amount that blank or is likely to have to pay out in full. what we're expecting here in the u. k is something in the region of hundreds of millions of dollars, certainly billions. now blink herself has, as i said earlier, admitted it skills in the court. over the last couple of days, the, the casey, representing glenn cool clem comrey said that the company's conduct was inexcusable . had no placing blank or but these practices do not exist in any form in any of the blanket companies today. we'll come back to you when we get that verdict soon enough. i'm sure from that crown court. really challenge that for similar to thank you. the french court, her sentence, they former liberian rebel commanded to live in prison. 47 year old country. kumato

was convicted of crimes against civilians between 993 and 94. the violence included eating someone's heart denying soldiers to repeatedly raped 2 teenage girls or button manley has more. it was a historic moment in this paris court. as foreman i buried rebel command conti camera was handed a life sentence for crimes against humanity. it was the 1st time a french court tried some one involved in liberia's. civil was of course, at all possible idea that this 3 week trial is very important. we seated over and over during these hearings, near is total impunity and liberia for the criminals. of this war that devastated liberia finale 20 years. the child took place under the legal principle known as universal jurisdiction. meaning it can take place even if a crime was committed abroad. ah, more than a quarter of a 1000000 people were killed in civil wars and my barrier between 999 to 2003

camry was found guilty. the crimes committed in $199394.00, including killing torture, rape, and cannibalism. he moved to europe in 1997 and was arrested 21 years later in the court, one victim was described as being so distraught she was unable to complete her testimony. i doubt many people who would tell you about your stories. many people would tell you about their experiences from the war. are very painful. stories perverted, some of the stories that are more people than what we start this trial. but cameras, lawyers says the court rely too heavily on victim testimonies. camera has rejected all accusations. oh, come along. oh, there were never any doubts that were express about these testimony as they were refer back over and over because there's no material evidence coil for many victims who say that been largely ignored by governments as they thought justice. this

sentence may provide some recourse nor that man the al jazeera ball still had here on out is there after devastating floods in northern nigeria, schools are turned into shelters, meeting millions of children with no way to learn. ah, anticipation is rising. and so with wanted my cattle aways. now, hong kong caught the strong winds just on the edge of now gay and some rain as well, but neither were excessive in the remains that rain just lighted showers for a good part of this part of china. the heavy rain is in taiwan as the ne monsoon comes in and that too has brought some showers into hampshire. this is friday's forecast. the temperature down to at $21.00 in tokyo, but a much more chilly 11 in sol,

13 in beijing. but the sun is doing its stuff in the far north john hobbies up to about 4 degrees up on 3 yesterday. and the process continues. of generally speaking is slow, but variable changed and towards wintery weather, but sun is dominant here. you'll notice with some rain in the south, but not really anywhere else, nor do i see any snow in the forecast even in mongolia for saturday. as the south west, one soon rains have gone. the southern northeast has come in. chenise been the focus of that was but half a month's worth of rain in 24 hours. well that's the result. very obviously there's more rain to come because the breeze is in the same direction. so it was how now do caroline's for lack of it is going to be wet for the rest of india for the poll bangladesh and pakistan's, the immediate future, it's dry, but there is reading, coming into northern pakistan. soon the weather, sponsored by cat on a ways in the light of the open seas heights

a dark secret men forced to work without paying inflate for years. but a glimmer of hope remained for the forgotten fisherman. as a group of activists delve deep into the illegal fishing industry, demanding justice, and freedom goes fleet, a witness documentary on al jazeera. ah ah. o'clock, you're watching officer with me. so he'll rob it in debt. ha, reminder of all top stole receipts. if he has got linton rebel forces from the countries to grow region of agree to and fighting, the breakthrough comes after

a 2 year war was kill tens of thousands of people and displaced millions of us. also, north korea has launched 3 more missiles. one is suspected to have been a long rage, intercontinental ballistic missiles, and that's prompted the u. s. in south korea to extend joint military exercises. the bank of england is set to raise interest rate in the u. k. in attempt to control rising inflation. it's expected to be its largest hi can more than 30 years . 0. charlie angela is outside the bank of england tentatively waiting. like most, probably millions of other british people wondering what the bank of england is going to say and how it's going to affect the money in their pockets. absolutely, and i think bring you a little bit of breaking news in the last hour. the pound has weakened ahead of this bank, interest rate decision to sterling is now at its lowest rate since you see not

became prime minister that's against the dollar. and that's partly because of the strength of the dollar off to the u. s. federal reserve raise interest rates by point 75 percent, but it will be pushing an extra bit of pressure on the 9 members of the monetary policy unit in this building behind me. now preparing to vote on the next interest rate rise and we hear that they are slightly divided some wanting a more modest point. 5 percent rise, others more aggressive point 75 percent rise, which would mirror u. s. federal reserve has done and european central bank, and that's the one that the markets are betting on. so we could be looking at a rise of up to 3 percent now in the u. s. for the u. k. interest rate. now that would be the biggest rise since $989.00 and the highest interest rates, the 2008 financial crisis. and as you said, it will be hitting many very, very hard. so why are they doing this? well, the u. k is inflation rate is 70 high, is 10 point one percent at the moment,

which is a 40 year high and the banks job is to bring that down and it target is 2 percent. it's a new tool to do that is to really tinker with these interest rate for that hoping by, by putting out this point 75 percent interest rate rise, bringing it to 3 percent that will essentially suck some demand out of the economy and urged people to save rather than spend or borrow and eventually push prices down. but the problem is that here in britain, it's not just inflation. that is putting pressure on the economy. it's also supply chain problems and energy costs and that pushing out prices then so much that the bank can do. but as you said, millions are watching. but they to breath waiting to see if their mortgages will go up if they'll have to pay more for the credit card debt. and it's already putting huge amounts of pressure on families who ready having to choose between whether or not to heat the home. as the winter approaches or put fuel in the car, both of those costs sol as this will come back to florida. allison charlie,

when we get that announcement from the bank of england takes chinese from london. charlie angela just mentioned the central reserve increased interest rates for the 6th time. this year. the federal says it's necessary to combat inflation, but some economists have questioned the strategy and the motivation behind it, she returns the reports. not only as the fed increasing interest rates of the fastest pay since the 1980s federal reserve chairman drove out. once again suggested the increases will continue. we have some ground left to cover here and cover it. we will progressive politicians here in washington, a speaking out against the federal reserve interest rate hikes as the prospect of hundreds of thousands of americans being thrown out of work. and even a global recession loom, not least, because there's more and more data that suggests low unemployment and slightly high wages on what's driving inflation. in fact, wages all even keeping up with inflation. the pandemic supply chain issues the war

in ukraine. these have been major drivers of inflation, but when josh billings surveyed the numbers, he found another major driving force corporate price gouging in normal times, corporate profits are supposed to be around $12.00 or 13 percent of prices, but then their contribution went up to well over half an enormous change through the 2nd quarter of this year. it's still really elevated. clearly the feds policies will increase pain among workers in room pals, words and unemployment and poverty increase. but they also have other effects. work in this home depot in philadelphia, a voting this week on forming a union of a wave of labor organization across the u. s. at a time of low unemployment and an awareness of record corporate profits, where their office had a higher unemployment will snatch away that new work confidence throughout the entire pandemic. we had an hiring sign up right now, which told me there's leverage there as kind of a precarious game, right? because you also have the fed coming in jacking up interest rates, you know, trying to induce a recess and trying to increase unemployment. however,

wins qual says, although it's true that higher unemployment and fewer job vacancies, the stated goals of the fed may make some work as reluctant to unionize a tool. younger generations have experienced nothing but economic crisis or simply had enough and likely to push on regardless, the younger people. i mean, like i'm 27, you know, i had, i grew up there other great recess in the iraq war. the economies been really crappy for us, you know, and there was kind of that air of like what things are already bad. we might as well take us out and try and improve something. in the 1980s, the federal reserve was quite open. it was using interest rate rises to smash union power and moderate wages. the fed insists that that's not the intention this time around and certainly at this home depot workers hope for a different outcome. she abraham see al jazeera washington, the education of thousands of students in nigeria has been disrupted after recent floods. official say, hundreds of schools have been destroyed or damaged. and many of the learning

facilities and having used a shelters for people who've been displaced. i mean, the address reports are from jigsaw states in the north a certificate and books salvage tro. floodwaters spread under the sun to dry classrooms, turned into kitchens. many of the people now in this cool, half unfamiliar faces and the regulars are worried about their studies. like this student, bahamas acadia, who's been joined by his displeased family. nobody can tell us to read that with no school. so ah, study may be then may be damaged, devastating floods this year, have killed hundreds of people in nigeria and displays hundreds of thousands, much infrastructure including school buildings has been damaged. the few standing schools have become shelters for people affected by the disaster. and students are

no longer coming to study, but to shelter with family members, they knocked ignatius children's fun, says an estimated 18 and a half 1000000 children aunt attending school in nigeria at the moment. many of them due to flights and other disasters, as well as conflicts. in some states, government officials are waiting for flood waters to recede before the reclaimed schools occupied by the flood victims. what with entire village is under water? no one knows how long that will take in other state education is priority. where trying to provide an ellen impossibilities. or we have done that during quid and west delay trying to replicate theme now. so as that the students that are in the cart way are displeased and it is even at the come, the can be a will to check less. and this has happened with that we didn't do, i don't queried. and at this facility sticker or sort of like a plan of action. but one that faces challenges in

a country struggling with power shortages. it could be months or even a year before people like these returned to what's left of their rooms. the schools then leave behind will have to be fixed before teaching and learning. gustavo again, but government officials say there is little money available and no one seems to know whether these facilities will ever get the work and renovation they need. how many degrees al jazeera, northern nigeria, or some of the world's most famous glasses will disappear by 2050. that's the warning from unesco which monitors around $18600.00 glasses across 50 world heritage sites. the organization says about a 3rd of those are set to melt by 2050 regardless of how much the planet's temperature rises. the remaining glasses can be saved by keeping temperature rise is 1.5 degrees below pre industrial levels. if the emissions stay the same about 50 percent of the glasses, unesco monitors could disappear by the year 2100 shuttle

thus got. there is an environmental economist at the euro, mediterranean center on climate change explains why emissions reduction targets moscow even lower. and the scary should really is how this is happening. the speed has accelerate then over the last decade or so. and unfortunately even limiting to $1.00 degrees will not save the one 3rd. that will likely this up there by, by time to 50, by limiting wilbur warming below $1.00 as the world has agreed in the highest that reuben is likely the only way to save the remaining flu card. and as, as we are leading to local populations, we be in the end in the vicinity of many of these 5 are under eclip unframed order than i'm informed to the glacial heather that are,

are coming. going to come down on them when it's application measures to focusing on implementing couldn't do measures to move this population away from the pending heather. and of course, some of this examples will include creating bother with the 1st month exposure map, educate the people. and really the language planning any more and more early warning system to provide people the actual data. so they can make some of their planning to move away before the hazards and all of them all. that's wendy and where people are waiting for answers after a bridge collapsed on sunday, killing more than 140 people. authority say it fail because of faulty reservations punching hundreds into the river. below. what witness? who help save? dozens of people spoke to him, deserves his, his account. and his words. man, i'm garner. my name is cut off by palmer, which is what?
