malcolm webb is following events in ethiopia from nairobi. he's with us now malcolm. what are we to make of the prime minister's claims? will prime minister as he had told, members of parliament that the government side didn't kill a single civilian? this is contradicted by the team p.l.s. leader's account. they say that civilian casualties have been high and they say that civilians were targeted in government airstrikes, something that the government side denies. we also heard from the red cross in macquarie, that's the regional capital, the city of about half a 1000000 people. they say that about 80 percent of the people in hospitals there have trauma injuries or they have, they haven't said how those injuries have been sustained. but they will say said that there's a serious shortage of essential medical supplies and a shortage of body bags. so who to believe the prime minister or the t p.l.f.? how can we ascertain what is actually galling mcalary? who for weeks the internet, the phone lines are being cut off and there's also the area is heavily restricted to be no

malcolm webb is following developments from nairobi in neighboring kenya. so start with the 1st obvious one who's telling the truth here, malcolm, who's winning this so far? it's very hard to verify the claims made by either side because the phone lines in the internet have been cut off throughout the to grey region for weeks now. but the ethiopian government, following a deadline given by prime minister ahmed on sunday, he gave to green forces 3 days to surrender and lay down their arms. he said ahead of what would be a final attack on the regional capital of me, kelly the deadline will be up in just under 24 hours from now. an ethiopian government has said that in the last day or so, to green, special forces and militia have been surrendering in the region to the east. that's called a far. but this was refuted by the 2 great military leadership may, as you mentioned, say that they've had a couple of key victories, including destroying a division of tanks. but it's very hard to know which side is telling the truth. but just a few hours ago, the un's human

what are you hearing malcolm? well, as he said, it's very difficult to verify what's going on because for weeks now, all of the telephones, all of the internet throughout the whole city, grey region have been cut off. but the ethiopian government has said to great and special forces militia have been surrendering to a far region. that's the region to the east of to gray. this follows prime minister all tomato issued on sunday and he said that he gave to green forces 3 days to lay down their arms and head of the said, what would be a final offensive on the regional capital of me. kelly, now that deadline expires in just about 24 hours from now. the u.n. human rights chief has spoken out just a short while ago saying that he's concerned about a build up of tanks and artillery around the city of making a 1000000 people. and it would certainly be dangerous for them if there was to be a heavy battle in or around the city. but on the other hand, to grow in military leaders of refuting these claims of gains made by the f

malcolm, i'll start with you.ew york times reporting that the president a little over two weeks ago asked his senior advisers about options for attacking iran's nuclear scientist. i wonder what you make of the timing of that meeting. >> well, you know, as much as we like to think that donald trump has a strategy in relation to iran, i would find it very hard to believe that this was part of a policy that he was going about with with regards to anything other than his re-election campaign or his belief that he had won the presidency. what he could have been doing is trying to give joe biden or anyone else a great deal of difficulty as they transition into the next administration. i don't believe that if it's an israeli operation and it was carried out with u.s. intelligence forces that donald trump was considering these higher level of actions as a component of that. they will probably be independent and simply based on what he thinks the news cycle will absorb at that time. >> mike pompeo earl ler this week report

more from malcolm weapon, this report. ethiopian government soldiers took the city of the kelly, regional capital of the grey without much fighting. there enemy, it's a gray and people's liberation front appeared to have decided not to put up much resistance after taking full control of them a clearly our forces are now pursuing and hunting and to peace or elements here to new holes. the government says its forces now control of the region. ethiopian state, television showed weapons that is said the t.p.m. effort hidden in churches. but questions remain, where are all the t.p.s. fighters and substantial stocks of military hardware. and is it equipped to fight an insurgency? as it did once before, successfully in the 1970, s. and eighty's, its leaders have said it will keep fighting. ethiopia's government says it no longer has popular support this so the war fare component of this is part of their history that they have enjoyed with all guards. and so when there isn't popular support for this kind of thing within the region

neighboring kenya and malcolm. so what more do we know about this latest news? well, just a short while ago, the ethiopian military's chief of staff posted a statement on facebook saying that the 0 pm military was in from control of the city of mcalary. that's the regional capital of the to gray province. now this follows reports that came a few hours, few hours earlier fighting that the government had begun its assault on the city. this follows as you mentioned, 3 weeks of fighting, leading up to this. now it hasn't been possible to verify the claim that the government side has taken control of the city has very little access in the area for journalists to humanitarian workers. it's been largely sealed off and we haven't yet heard any comment from the tee p.l.s. leadership on this yet. but if it is indeed the case, it would suggest that the large numbers of fighters and substantial military hardware that the t.v. l.f. is widely believed to control, are actually already being tactically, retreated into the nearby m

let's go to malcolm where, but in nairobi, malcolm a lot of claims. there's the evidence back come up. we've got contradicting claims from both sides. as you mentioned, prime minister told members of parliament that no civilians are being killed to be left. leaders say many civilians are being killed in airstrikes by government aircraft, something the government denies. the leaders have also said that they shot down one of those aircraft and they've retaken a town near there fighting on many fronts. their prime minister's person described these claims as delusional. but because there's very little access for press and humanitarian workers, it's very difficult to verify any of these claims. but we have heard from the red cross in the city of mcalary. they said that 80 percent of the people in the hospitals have trauma injuries. they didn't say how they got those injuries, but i did say that serious shortage of medical supplies and a serious shortage of body bags. all right, thanks so much. there from nairobi, aid agencies and local volunteers are helpi

after the assassinations of malcolm x, dr. king, and another black panther, fred hampton, there was a great vacuum in leadership. by the time dr. king came to newark in 1968, amiti baracka had met with malcolm x and they had told him about the alabama black panther party organizing and planted the seeds of an idea to make newark the northern counterpart for the black panther. newark was supposed to be the black power experiment in the jim crow north. when dr. king met with amiti, he wanted a partnership. dr. king was assassinated less than two weeks after that meeting. when he was assassinated in 1968, that black united front was packed into the june 1968 black political convention in newark and the 1968 national black power conference in philadelphia. at that point, the national black power conference made newark the test case for black power politics. all kinds of resources streamed into newark based on that agreement. from the civil rights movement on the one hand, the black power movement on the other hand, and the black c
