conflict will end soon so she can return home with her family. she says she wants her child to be operated on, but more importantly, wants them to grow up with no memories of the horror that has forced her and her family to leave their lives behind. pippa morgan, sudan. imran: the battle will prove decisive in the conflict. >> if they can't hold the capital, it means they are defeated, and michele is considered the ultimate prize by the ethiopian national defense forces, who are said to be about 100 kilometers from the capital and are saying they will launch attacks from at least four different fronts. what is going to be a huge opportunity is that the city is surrounded by hills and mountains where they have mounted their defenses and are

the companies have said that is simply not the case. he also said that both drug companies spent millions of dollars to stop him at becoming president because he said he was going to cut drug prices. he said everyone was against him including the media and a number of enemies, and he said we won the election. in the last few hours when georgia certified joe biden as the winner, after a 5 million vote hand recount, making joe biden the first democrat to win that state in the presidential election since 1992 -- the fact that donald trump has been meeting these senior officials from michigan was dismissed as nothing more than donald trump meeting lawmakers from across the country, the white house insisting it was routine. sadly, a number of congresspeople from michigan were concerned about it.
5:12 pm
debbie dingell said that what trump was trying to do was to put pressure on these officials to try and make sure that michigan, which is a republican run state when it comes to sending voters to the electoral college, vote for donald trump rather than the popular vote. there are laws in place to stop that. mike sharkey, the leader of the republicans in the senate in michigan, has already said they will not be certifying donald trump as the winner. he will follow the popular vote. this might have been shirkey taking the opportunity to go to the white house. he has already said he is not going to vote in any other way but with the popular vote, which means joe biden wins michigan. recounts underway in wisconsin, but they are unlikely to overturn the result, which means
5:13 pm
joe biden will win that state. as it stands, joe biden has 306 electoral college votes. that is exactly the figure that donald trump had four years ago, and you will remember in the days after the election donald trump kept talking about 306 electoral college votes, in his view, that was a landslide. imran: alan fisher live at the white house in washington, d.c. still ahead, peru's police face allegations of rights abuses during last week's protests. armenia relinquishes land to azerbaijan after controlling it for almost 30 years. ♪ >> it's really cold in new york.

scientists who will decide whether or not to grant the emergency use authorization based on the data they have been given, but the difficulty is that this is not a routine vaccine trial. this is a new technology, which the scientists are going to have to look at. it is uncharted water. it's not a vaccine in which a muted version of the virus is injected into the system, allowing the body to create immunity. this is a case where spike proteins are created in the humans dna, which replicates the coronavirus and trains the body to recognize it should the coronavirus enter the body. this is a totally different technology, and this is going to maybe extend the period. the speed at which these vaccines can be rolled out, that is difficult because this treatment requires tubing
