the be cut above this is the w. news live up from their lead. the united nations condemns what it calls a heinous and senseless massacre in nigeria. more than 100 farm workers killed by insurgents on motorcycles. jihadists are suspected of carrying out attacks, also coming up on the shelf and on certain road to recovery. w speaks to people suffering from long term effect a poke at night. they describe the toll it's taking on their bodies and minds. and parts of australia are gripped by record temperatures,

as fortunately tears ever more wildfires. sydney reports, it's hot as november night since records began and clay richardson welcome to the show. now sources say more than 100 people have been killed in a brutal massacre in the country's north west. why witnesses said militants on motorcycles rounded up until farmers who were bringing in their harvest in northern a borno state. in nigeria, no one has claimed responsibility, but jihadist groups have attacked the area in recent years. the victims of that reached the massacre laid to rest in a mass burial. the 13 pool say the farm workers were attacked by armed insurgents on motorbikes. while they were harvesting rice,

someone shot others with their throats cut. it is that there were 6 of us in the bush. then we headed back into the village. we were shocked when we got there. like on the move, we found the bodies and that was where the main killings took place. then we went through a nearby village called good though. we met so many people fleeing from our village without knowing where they were going. a huge amount of harvested rice was set on fire. you see a lot of love. this is the most violent attack on civilians and bonus state this year. the region in northeastern nigeria has been gripped by a jihad just insurgency. for a decade. both the islamist group boko haram and the rival group, the i.i.s. affiliated so-called islamic state, west africa province operate here. the 2 groups have been blamed for attacks on phone isn't fisherman, in nature use of spying for the army and pro-government militia. but so far,

there's been no claim of responsibility because i came from work around it killed many of our people. we need assistance. we need weapons because we have young men who can guard our farmers while they work it out. please please for god's sake. the team work, i don't like it like that. the nigerian military has been unable to quell the insurgency in which tens of thousands of been killed or abducted. there are reports that several women may also have been kidnapped in the latest incident. and the number of men remain missing, raising fears that the death toll from this brutal attack could still rise. let's cross straight to lagos, nigeria and our correspondent, sonny. such are who is standing by for us. this is a horrific attack and there's still some uncertainty about the death toll. what more can you tell us from where you are?

there are conflicting numbers clear. the state's governor has released the number 70 that at least 7. people have been killed. u.n. reports, at least 110 people have been killed. so the number will be, at least within that range, between 70 and 110. but if you zoom in on that number on this horrific attack, you will also see a long history of over one decade of brutality carried out by militants not only in the north eastern part of nigeria, but also in other parts, especially in the north of the country this particular attack happened just outside of my degree 15 kilometers outside of my degree, which is also sadly called the city of boko haram. because this is from when the entire uprising started over 10 years ago. now what we can tell at this point is the attack happened on saturday. the gurjar happened yesterday, and after that horrendous attack, a lot of farmers actually in the region have left their farms. they are concerned

and worried that on others, another attack will be carried out by boko haram. not to put this in context just recently. and in this month, the nigerian military has carried out a couple of airstrikes against militants, but the people here in nigeria are frustrated. they say they're not doing enough because they're not able to stop this violence. that's been ravaging this country for the past 10 years. when no group so far has said it was responsible for these killings of these must groups of boko haram and islamic state, west africa are of course, both active in the region. what are you hearing from their at this point neither book or any affiliate of isis or of the western african ices group has said that they have done is high level a local jihadi militant group is saying that definitely this carries the handwriting of boko haram and given what i've just said, that the military carried out

a couple of strikes also within that area were this attack happened in the forests which is called zambezi forest. where is the typical hideout of boko haram? it is likely very much likely that this was a book now to give back again, once again to the frustration here on the ground in nigeria, people are saying that the military should rather be occupied, trying to fight terrorism than trying to fight. for example, peaceful protesters that have been taking to the streets over the last months, fighting, or rather protesting police brutality. we all remember that the military was actually deployed here in lagos, just a month ago to try to quell protests. so people are saying they should not cloud protests against the government, but make sure that there is a stop and end to this violence that is carried out by militants as a correspondent for any such are for us in the lagos. thank you very much. let's take a look now,

it's of the other stories making headlines at this hour. french media reports say authorities are charging 4 police officers in connection with the beating of a black music producer. the incident sparked outrage after the release of security camera footage showing the assaults nationwide rallies against police brutality have been overshadowed by clashes with dozens of demonstrators injured and more. and the arrested authorities in new zealand have filed charges against 10 organizations and 3 individuals in connection with last year's and deadly volcano eruption. they're accused of neglecting safety rules. 22 people were killed in last december when they were visiting new zealand's most active volcano. it again erupting the threat level, had been raised. 3 weeks earlier. u.s. president elect joe biden has fractured his foot plane with his dog. the 78 year old was taken to a clinic in his home state of delaware. biden's doctors says

a scan, it shows hairline fractures to 2 small bones in his right foot. he's expected to wear a medical boot for several weeks. and most people who come down with corona virus recover completely after a few weeks. but sometimes symptoms persist for months. even people who have had a mild versions of the disease continue to experience symptoms after their initial recovery. sufferers have told you about the ongoing affects on their bodies and minds. peggy kohn is battling the long term effects of coated 19 when she became ill in months. she had few symptoms,, but it's now devastated. pretty confident have 50 f., and you need to buy only became really ill months later in june. at the time i thought that everything would eventually be fine, but things didn't improve. i was extremely ill for many, many weeks,

which turned into months. and i never got better is what unleashed peggy is one of 40 covert survivors here. suffering from long term effects of the illness on germany's baltic sea coast. their symptoms are being treated at a rehabilitation center. after the virus, peggy felt burnt out. she suffered from dizzy spells and chronic pain. the cognitive i'm showing in some cases i also had cognitive difficulties that my head wasn't functioning properly. i couldn't tear at poor vision and couldn't follow conversations well. often cope with patients like peggy say their concerns aren't being taken seriously by their doctors. it's very difficult for some

doctors to understand when they look at me, i look healthy physically, i'm reasonably strong, at least i appear to be and then you get dismissed very quickly. they say her mind is not ok. i'm not afraid. but i still wonder if i will ever be the same again as a covert survivor, peggy has officially recovered from the illness, but she says it feels like corona virus has stolen her healthy body and left her with a sick one in its place. peggy has been here for 2 weeks now . her main goal is to get her mental health back on track. and you live your life 5 days at work a weekend and so on. my life might be more intense than it was before. on the one hand, i'd like it to be like it was before on the other. the world is just falling apart

because of the pandemic right now. at the moment, life is dramatically different for everyone. i think i'll be a different person than i was before. that's ok. peggy kahn has 3 more weeks of rehab ahead of her or she wants to do is get back to her normal life again. and for more i'm joined by all of our growth, a professor of nephrology and rheumatology at the university medical center in germany. dr. gross does peggy's a story of suffering with long term effects of covert 1000 sounds familiar to you. good morning. yes, it does. but to be honest, well our data about the long term effects still very limited. still in the we're learning phase in this may actually my colleagues in hamburg and i

published a letter in the new england journal of medicine that the virus is not only a texel along but also many other organs. so in addition our own in from a chariot reaction in order to fight the virus, seems to cause damage and traumatic injury to the small resolutes of many other organs. so that direct attack of the virus and the secondary effects of our immune reaction are thought to be responsible for the long term side effects. but again, we are still in the learning phase. so we are still learning as you say, to this point. what are the most common long term effects played in 1000 patients? well, just to give you several examples for the respiratory system and

short of germs. speaking of the nervous system, the lady spoke of her mind. the small and major stroke that might have occurred completely, or incompletely speaking of the system, the information of the heart muscle and the long term effects of pitney's. acute renal failure has been described in many inpatient cases. and we expect that this might end up in chronic renal disease in many cases and shiny, perhaps most important the mood disorders such as depression and will increase in number. this is typical for patients that suffer from a life threatening disease. so i don't think it's that this is directly caused by

the virus. but again, we expect a complex, complex list of side effects that involve all different kinds of organs. not just do we know who is most likely to suffer from these long term effects. let a tough question and i can only speculate from my own experience and from experience we have from other life threatening diseases. so 1st of all i would expect that it's those with less support by their family or less support by their friends who need to live in a kind of isolation for long term they will have a higher risk from suffering from depression and 2nd. i think the young generation like my children, they will be,

suffer from all kinds of social cultural impacts from this no sports and no scenery of the pandemic. so i think that this is very important long term side effects that the whole world is not yet aware of. and search for me most upon the all the patients with chronic renal disease as they not only have increased risks to get a more severe covert, 19 d.c.'s. they also suffer from limited standard of care we have right now which denies diagnosis delays. their p. are going to have to leave it there, i'm afraid, but thank you so much for joining us on the unions and sharing your latest research . thank you for the red cross says the capital of ethiopia is northern. it region is struggling with shortages of food and medical

supplies. that's a day after ethiopia's prime minister declared a victory in a military campaign against 2, crying fighters. wounded fighters have been inundating hospitals in the regional capital. but how do you ethiopian troops have been closing in on to gries regional capital since forces? they ignored an ultimatum to surrender on wednesday. they say they've seized control of all key installations, including the airport and to free thousands of troops allegedly, being held hostage by to cry in forces. the ethiopian army says its main aim now is to track down any last holdouts. and to fully controlling mechel, a city, our army is hunting and going after and searching for the elements opposed to peace that are hiding in holes and pits. are it would it with all your

but despite the ethiopian army's declaration of victory to grind forces said the conflict is not yet over. they told reuters news agency that they would continue their fight from areas not yet under government control orders. some analysts believe they could also be planning to conduct a guerrilla war from the mountains. the fate of civilians is also causing concern. tens of thousands have fled to neighboring sadanand are very uncomfortable being in many of them, as i've said many times already are behind everything the relatives, their work. most of them are farmers, and it is the harvest time and they cannot do it. so a major source of livelihood is lost. another source of anguish for many refugees is the lack of information about what is happening to their loved ones back home. because the government has cut, internet and phone links to the region,

aid agencies are also urging the authorities to open a humanitarian corridor to allow them to help people on the ground. well for more we can now go to our use of beta and to the ethiopian minister in charge of democratization sadiq, a rebel, and i welcome minister. let's talk about the current situation in the country. ethiopia's prime minister abi off matt has said the fighting is over, but to brian forces, claiming it's not yet finished, is the region entirely in the government's control or you know, out of control, you know, it is the norm and they quit when saddam hussein's iraq was under the control of america here is force spokesperson used to say we are in control until the whole complexity. so was either sandman or propaganda. where in control of the horror of the road in their last holdout was make of it. now in front of each and every

arab mechanic, i want to status at their wonder from within. by the way, we are now the one who cuts the very competitive eating you get at it is if you believe that's got the pelican connectivity with a view to keep the ticket and people in can we go from the rest of the world. so it doesn't contribute 20 to be fading from the force if a live report and now we are working with the expert, this story when it's at the local connectivity and then sample it if it has already been restored. now it is of course, it difficult for independent observers to verify these reports that has access to to cry has been tightly controlled since the start of the conflict. when will get at the allowed to access the t 5 region. again, it is not asked looking, the absence is the situation. there was an active military operation that would have been danger to lives. if you're not, it's just a same time. there is not the telephone going to. the video has been kept. i mean,

destroyed by digital it around it, of course have been destroyed, airports and destroyed well working to rebuild without these facilities and a village or less cannot go. and that is information. we have nothing to hide as a jet of the people we produced. so years down the line is transparency opens this government open government. it is a situation that is putting gas from annoying your analysis to access to the way you have nothing to hide. of course, as this happens, that food and medical supplies are running low and alarm is growing over a humanitarian crisis. how are you going to ensure delivery of badly needed supplies? if you don't care, just serve the lowliest was the nurses of the just sort of refugees in the wallet. we know how to deal with us. we are and now will supply a great deal of hoops and as a resource as well,

we're working with you and in the end we just something i was in need of so much and of pretty much open immigrant corridor with all this effort because we believe we'll do really, we'll be able to help our out our citizens wearing down either. i want to talk about that humanitarian corridor that you've proposed, or you say it's coming soon, but how soon is soon? soon as we are able to repair loose nukes will soon reduce abilities that are already smart. where are you working day. 'd now, trying to rebuild a resource on a d.v.d. that has been that has been a great one if that's been given place below it already. that is a humanitarian actors. own many an hour, a relevant ministry, to opinion agencies, your new jersey someplace would love to meet. and we can elevate this to the humor here. humanitarian corridor, pretty much so. it is a situation that you popping up from being so we want out. we don't want our people

to suffer. we have doing everything we can. we are using the international story to stop something. our people who live, we think we can, our communities not related our what the different people are more or less that want to help in their beloved, their beloved ones, their culture, but in their are their people in taking. everyone in the nation is working for the helping them up. well, the prime minister has rejected a dialogue with the type of liberation front leader. so how are you going to broker an end to the conflict without sitting down at the table together? the companies already in the particular, in this bill i've said not all of the detail of this in detail. it is now and it is to let the 100 people popular enough that developed that again, people out embraced the middle of the road a little over

a ship whenever our military personnel made their way to one of the they left they are they, they were coming then they were coming to mass john, so if you don't want to be live anymore, so deep into it and it defeated militarily the easy to not only has its people base but each side. so there is no, no, was it in this is about making them accountable to what they have been doing now all we have and if there is that a great are going to have to leave it there. but thank you very much for coming on to you. now, israeli as an east coast experienced a blistering heat wave over the weekend, with temperatures rising above 40 degrees celsius. dozens of fires erupted on sunday, but there is hope that cooler weather will help quell the outbreaks when authorities are urging residents to eventually and earth years, there could be

a repeat of last year when a massive bushfires killed dozens of people and of ravage, australia's wildlife and i'm joined now by roger mayne, our journalist, based in sydney, australia. roger, can you give us a sense of the stale, how much of australia's east coast is currently affected by this heat wave? well, predominately it's part of most, most parts of new south wales. continuing to rage across the state. although cooler winds are brought temporary relief to much of the much ado that was today. although for the, the meter only physical cause to return to the heat wave conditions for more today has been much more. there were 24 degrees compared with 40 degrees over the weekend, and those are easing of conditions that allow the firefighters to take control of the many blazes. scattered across the wells are about 50 at the moment book. many

of these are in fairly remote areas, so there are no immediate threat to human life or to property. the fire chief sun saying there is no time to be complacent, say 90 percent of new south wales is still susceptible to fire. the spokesman saying the politics weekend was an omen, a sign to the weeks and the months ahead as a firefighters are on the case already. do you think they're better prepared in this there than what we saw with the last year's deadly braces? well, i think they all they've learnt a lot. there's been a major inquiry in new south wales into the coals of the funds and how better to tackle them. and in the future, one new strategy which will be introduced as from so more, is to send a crawl out to every major fire accompanying the appliances. so the fire appliances can be directed more accurately to the source of the fire and water bombing. going

to be flown in to attack the of the flames as well. because the last summer as far as coincided with an intense period of drought, which turned much of the countryside into a tinderbox. over the past few months, we think quite a bit of rain in new south wales and across australia, eastern seaboard, which means there is less of a chance of the ground being tinderbox, dry at this time, and less of a chance of a major catastrophe. sex school earlier this year, stella certainly be hoping for the best journalist, roger menard in sydney, much ever migranal of our top story. sources in the nigeria say more than a 100 people have been killed in a brutal massacre in the country's are. no one has claimed responsibility, but jihadist groups have attacked the area that's your news update at this hour coming up next hour, science magazine that tomorrow today. and don't forget, you can always get the latest of news and information are around the clock on our
