a week. bunt refuses to concede the election, saying only that time will tell to takes office in january and mass protests in peru after congress removes the corruption busting president who's not affiliated to any of their parties. some are calling it a political coup to america . evanston, it's good to have you with us. the united nations says the conflict in ethiopia is at risk of spiraling out of control is a struggle between the central government and regional authorities in the northern tikrit region. if the o.p.'s human rights commission said it's sending a team to investigate reports of mass killings, there of civilians fleeing the fighting, say they were bombed by government forces,

despite claims from the ethiopian government, if yochi and government that it is only striking military targets, they've come with just what they can carry ethiopians from the region make their way to safety across the border and into sadar. and then most of them, if it wasn't for sadar and many would be dead. where do we go? if we go to eritrea, they will slaughter us. if we go to other parts of ethiopia, they will slaughter us. some had to make the heartbreaking choice of leaving loved ones behind one mother, i left her in a church because she is an elderly woman. my brother is blind, we left him there as well. there was no food or water that everyone ran away. and on the way we found murdered people with weapons or not. that's why we ran. what were we to do?

we want to save ourselves. thousands of exhausted refugees have fled to siddharth, after fighting broke out between the ethiopian military and their to grab people's liberation front, a militant group in the region. a conflict erupted in early november when the government sent troops into the region after an alleged attack by local forces on a federal army base integrators capital. the ethiopian prime minister says his army is close to victory. highly, this mischievous force is surrounded on all sides. that it is a force in its final throes of death. your children are suffering death. injuries on the front line ups. the united nations is concerned that, war crimes have been committed in the fighting between the government and t.p. l.f. and many voices in the region are calling for

a deescalation. but what information is coming from the isolated region indicates that the situation is deteriorating. let's go now to the ethiopian capital, addis ababa, where journalist samuel guitar show is standing by hello samuel. now it has been difficult for outsiders to get accurate information on what's going on. what is the latest you can tell us on this conflict? while the media and the angel kind of travel to the region? what we are reflecting on is the report that's coming from mr. international human rights watch. the n.g.o.s, the people that have fled to sudan, telling us, telling the world that this is heading to a potential civil war and money. many people are dying in sudan, it's getting up to $20000.00 ethiopians have moved to the sudan looking for shelter

. so this is becoming a disaster, not just for ethiopia or the region. it's heading to too, it's affecting everyone. so everybody is overwhelmed with the need that they have. they can't even transport basic to their so you can imagine the impact it's having on the ground. what exactly sparked this fighting, what is, at the heart of the conflict, it looks like, you know, the government, the government has placed a condition for a cease fire, which is $200.00 leadership of the region, which the central government sees as being illegal. and also the destruction of all arms. they have been storing for a long time. you have to, you have to remember the tepee. aleppo was in trade all government in charge of the ethiopian federal government for 27 years. so they've only left,

they've only gone back to their own state the last 3 years. so it looks like it's a mixture of power, struggle and not wanting to accept the changes that are happening. you know, it's a mixture of all of those. but again, impact it's having on the ground is just huge. it goes beyond the governments of our suburb and the state over to agree. well, we also know that gras is not the only region in the end that has seen tensions in recent months. saniel, how is this latest conflict affecting ethiopia's overall stability? there was gunfire or, you know, a standoff fire or a scene in the heart of, for the region or the bottom dollar, which is a tourist attraction. we can't confirm anybody has right, but it's tickling all over the nation. but beyond the conflicts,

there is also conflicts all over region people dying. so it's becoming a huge disaster. a listers, great to be a ceasefire, you see? or the people being affected. a reminder of what happened to ethiopia some 30 years ago with the children of trauma, the freaked out so many people in beit instant with thousands, but he tells us of your friends all over the world, journalists sent on guitar to in addis ababa, thanks so much for your reporting. thank you. thank you. well, u.s. president donald trump has made his 1st public statement since t.v. networks called the election for his rival democrat joe biden. trump was speaking at the white house about efforts to develop a vaccine against covert 19, though he did not concede in a reference to the presidential vote,

trump said time will tell which administration will be in the white house in january. this was the closest trump has come to admitting defeat the election was called last week for biden. also on friday media outlets projected that biden had won the state of georgia and that north carolina had gone to trump. that would give biden 306 votes in the electoral college and trump 232 our washington correspondent on affairs salant was following trump's press conference. we asked him what we should make of trump's 1st public remarks in days . and it was the 1st speech, in fact, since election night. so a very highly anticipated event where he again refused to concede. he said, i guess time will tell who will take office in january. so still trying to create the impression that he might be there for another 4 years. he took no questions

then, but what he took is all the praise for this new coronavirus vaccine, where he obviously ignored also that a german companies behind the bio and tech who developed the vaccine together with the u.s. pharmaceutical maker. pfizer then went on in his typical style, talking of all the great job he did with them. demick in handling the pandemic, talked about the stock market, the job numbers, unemployment, so nothing surprising you really seemed like the complain is not over yet. well meanwhile, the corona virus continues to spread relentlessly in the united states. more than 177000, new cases were reported on friday, breaking the daily record for the 4th straight day. new york city has imposed restrictions on bars and restaurants in a new push to limit the spread. all establishment is licensed to sell. alcohol have been ordered to close their doors at 10 pm. correspondent,

bus and hardik spoke to new yorkers and asked them what they think about the new restrictions for york city's city's hospitals that were overwhelmed by the number of bodies are still on many people's minds. for months, the city's been able to control the number of new infections, but now it's on the rise again. and that's why many new yorkers agree with the new restrictions that the city is putting in place. i think it's necessary. these sort of been a fatigue of people saying we've been protecting ourselves and nothing's happened and he 1st started to relax. so i think it's really necessary for this restriction to be put in place. maybe somebody to shut down because of the water, but i'm not sure the lady. so you think they were over the top? i would be a favorable complete lockdown curfew to hold her. if i need to put a mask on, if i need to follow the rules, if i need to stay home, that's what i have to do. we live in

a community. i share this planet with other people, and that's the part that i have to do in each and every one of us needs to play their own part in this. i mean the son nerver is like even be in our here. you just want me show you, we at c.e.o. my own circle, put yourself in a bubble because you don't want to be too close to some aisle. you don't know what is sick or has to call the virus. so it's just like you never know who you talk to, even my going to restaurants being a fool, you still never know cause some people show no symptoms. as new yorkers are bracing themselves for a potential 2nd wave, the new restrictions might just be a 1st step. york's mayor bill de blasio has already told citizens to prepare for possible school closures as early as this coming monday to peru now where demonstrators have clashed with police in the capital, lima, and another night of protests. people are angry at the way peru's congress removed a sitting president martin iscar on monday without due process. after unsubstantiated claims of corruption is carra who is not affiliated to

a political party, had been spearheading an anti graft campaign. many in peru are calling his ousting and illegal political coup. violence on the streets of lima. peaceful protests are repressed by the forces of law and order. for days now, demonstrators have been protesting the dismissal by congress. president martinelli scotto. the protests take place at night in lima, but daytime, in the peruvian capital, is generally peaceful. but the people's displeasure at the actions of congress is still palpable. i feel that the president should have finished his term. the next election is just around the corner. this was a coup, as many people say it is. this is a coup that homs, all peruvians. we all disagree with it because it was a coup. he was affected by this. we the people,

the people are harmed by all of this. i feel outraged, outraged at everything that is happening, it's not only on the streets that people are calling it a political coup. some experts agree that given the circumstances, discounters removal could be considered illegal. the way it is happened, it is clearly an abuse of the constitution. the figure is being used in a way that was not foreseen by the constitution. and if you had the interest involved corrupt people to those who want to change the law, obviously shifting towards an illegal situation, then it could be called a coup. it hasn't been done in a constitutional way that involves people who have no place in a process of this kind but with kindness dismissal is not the only thing that's at stake on the streets of peru, transparency, transparency. it's one of the country's most important n.g.o.s. it monitors the

state of democracy and citizens' rights and its president believes the current protests are about more than the current political crisis, but are not creating. peruvians want their democratic institutions, their free rights and their right to representation have to be defended. and i think it's important to say that human rights must be fully respected when citizens exercise their right to protest. but at this, some say this wave of demonstrations will soon pass, but others will, in the unrest could intensify. as people protest a political elite that have enrich themselves with state money for decades. and finally, hindus worldwide are celebrating the colorful festival of lights called duvali in the north indian city of iowa to set a guinness world record for a 2nd year in a row. by lighting more than 600000 and keeping them burning for at least

45 minutes. thousands of volunteers, little lambs in this city, holy to hindus, where they believe ram was born. that's the latest on the deadly news. i'll be back at the top of the hour with another update for you, and there in a distant from me and the entire team. thanks for watching. and in the height of climate change africa's most of what's in store for the future. the to come 2nd major cities to the multimedia inside culture. the fight against the coronavirus pandemic has the rate of infection been developing.
