u. s. this also comes from the african union and the canyon president and the uganda president who is supposed to be having a conference own or a summit on what's happening and he threw in ethiopia on november 16th. and this comes us. the conflict is really are facing money people and again, more than 2000000 people are currently displeased as a result of it. and they say they are start the numbers, 2000000 people displaced by this. and from the graphic that we showed our viewers, the threats of violence, if the t p l f in its forces and get caused to add to sub i would have had a significant impacts on the government of the day. you are in addis ababa. just talk us through what the situation is like where you are. i mean ed, our people were reads, does it appear like there will be fighting coming close to the capital? eminently there was a rumor that the conflict has come to the suburbs so far. the sub about it was reported, but thou was fools. i mean, the december wise tense people are worried

u. s. has at least with regard to taiwan and please correct me if i'm wrong in this. but if i understand correctly that the u. s. has a policy that we talked about earlier about m, there being a one china policy policy that, that, that it agrees with the one china policy. but at the same time, president biden has said it will defend its allies. i. e, tie one to an outsider like me, that seems like a mixed message. it seems like 22 different sides of the same coin. does that counter any? and i'm understanding or undermine a possible understanding when it comes to meetings like this, because china, perhaps understandably, we say, well, you're saying one thing, but you're willing to do another and we don't exactly know where you stand on this . well, i would, i would say that u. s. policy has been consistent and longstanding since 1979. and i will also mentioned that we have domestic look legislation the taiwan relations act that governs our unofficial relationship with taiwan. so there have been no changes there whatsoever. yet again, the present yesterday reaffirm the u

this to get out of control. but that being said, i think it is simply because the u. s. is the compton relative to connie has more incentives to challenge. what is the status quo? victor glancing there, that essentially the china has this that says in a strengthening position and the u. s. is now at a disadvantage. do you think that that is what has motivated president teaching ping's acceptance of this public meeting with joe biden? though i think her president joe biden, and present she can be of china. they knew each other well for more than one decade, or they were a vice president's or the each other's country. they call along very well. and this meeting, the virtual summit, as we call it, is long overdue. it should have happened earlier this year. however, i think the fact that it takes place is truly a milestone event in china. us relations, it gives assurances to everyone in china, in the united states, that despite of all the differences the company does, of the 2 countries can sit down, be frankly, be caught you as you mentioned and discuss all the differences.

u. s. deciding to make this move know at will the u. s. made this announcement on the heels of a meeting between a national security council representative for latin america as well as officials in columbia and a part of the reason that this designation his being lifted now is the fact that the united states continues to conduct work in this area and is having difficulty doing so given the fact that the designation of terror against the, the fark organization was still in place despite that 2016 peace accord being signed. and the more than $10000.00 members laying down their arms and particularly, and some of those areas where those members are still living, that has made us peace efforts and aid efforts difficult. so that is one of the reasons that the other rationale behind the, by the ministrations lifting of this designation is the fact that it really is not a unified organization any more in the eyes of the bite in white house. and so they felt that it was no longer appropriate to leave it in place. i can tell you this is not sittin

let's remember, this is an investigation by the u. s. military of the u. s. military. and let's also remember that this was a drone strike in cobble where journalists could go and do their reporting. whereas there are hundreds of drones drags not only in afghanistan and pakistan in yemen, where journalists don't get a chance to go and see the results. i've gone myself to all of those countries and met with families whose loved ones have been killed. and there was never any accountability, sometimes there be a few $1000.00 that the military would give out to the families more like hush money. but in terms of holding people accountable, it has never happened. and i think this just shows the world community that the u. s believes in might make bright and that the powerful will not be held to account. but is it also the, the scope of this probe just couldn't cover that kind of thing? is the full left had a general said no, it's not criminal. conducts that there was no violation of law including the law of war. so therefore, it couldn't look into ethics, it couldn't look int

u. s. u and russia, the u. s. and the u. k. c. this will make europe even more reliant on russians on russia for energy. but germany says russian gas is needed to transition away from coal and nuclear energy. dominic cane has more from berlin. then few has been very simply that they don't believe that the organisation behind that old stream pipeline called mold stream to a g, which is based in switzerland. they don't believe that it has enshrined german law into its operations, at least based here in germany. quite technical ruling, but the basic deal being that the company needs to fully set itself up in germany and accept german jurisdiction as it were before any green lighting can be given in terms of the effect this ruling will have. well, it's a temporary stay in one perspective. we know that the company concerned nordstrom to a g in switzerland has gotten till a point in january. sure. reply. but obviously there is the geopolitical significance of this, this pipeline. really polarizes opinion, not just in ukraine or germany, but

u. s. this week, riots erupt, as carl rittenhouse is found, not guilty of homicide in the killing of 2 people at a racial justice protest. last year is divided, american society is politicians and the media rushed to take sides and migrant. start to leave the bellow russian border with poland after more than a week of camping out in freezing conditions. in a desperate bid to reach the e. u. and violent clashes with polish forces to we wouldn't saying so far, the largest scale attempt at crossing the border by grants here the on backing down . and i, we can hear the approach of a military helicopter. oh, we've just been purpose sprayed. ah, either it's a weekly on artsy with me. call him bray. we're going to take you through some of the big stories we've covered here over the past 7 day. as developments in the last 48 hours and efforts to stand, the latest surge of covert infections has seen frustrations boil over in 3 countries over the weekend. the latest unrest. you can see here in belgium thi

u. s, according to the u. s. side. this conflicts as getting close to our d'silva and it's certain to affect us money of citizens. but the invoice of the president biden has just left and we know sure if he had a chance to meet with the prime minister who has insisted that the us government is in support of the p. p. i left the support them. they give them weapons. it's been leased by the fuel inside, but this comes up because need in us, well as the kid in and you gun the president, push ethiopia, and the t p are left to sit down and find some common ground. but the development we're watching from a distance in washington dc. the ethiopian side has just reacted. the justice minister has called the 9 coalition with a mission of defeating the government. what it, what they're doing. he's described it as publicity stunt. and it's not being taken seriously in, within the sub over to the rest of the days news and more than $100.00 people have been injured in protest against election results in iraq. security 1st forces have 5 i

u. s. s. cole. they've taken up steps to make sure that they have measures to try and prevent that, but it really is striking video. if you see just how close those ships came to this u. s. destroyer, i spent a lot of time on a be destroyers, and that is by far their biggest concern is what small ships can do. again, we saw that with the u. s. s. cole. so we do expected about 25 minutes. that defense secretary john kirby is going to address this issue as well as the drone strike, the kill 10 people in afghanistan is true to withdraw him. we do expect they're going to have a forceful response. again, saying that this was out of ran provocation denying that the u. s. had anything to do with that oil or that tanker. but again, they're gonna be questions about how the ship captain, lunch, small boats get that close. whether or not his orders were to make sure it the escalated rather than escalated. ok while we wait to hear what comes all that press briefing, abernet, patsy. go haine. bringing us up to date that from the pants again. we appreciate it . patsy. thank you. my view and has found evidence that all sides in ethiopia is ti groin. conflicts have violates its in

u. s. this week, riots ruptures, coll rittenhouse is found, not guilty of homicide and the killing of 2 people at a racial justice protest. last year, it's divided american society is politicians and the media rushed to take sides and migrants start to leave the bell. russian border with poland after more than a week of camping out in freezing conditions and a desperate bid to reach the e. g. u with violence classes with polish forces to we are witnessing so far. the largest scale attempt at crossing the board at migrants here. the on backing down, and i, we can hear the approach of a military helicopter. oh, we've just been purpose sprayed. ah, hello, good to have you with us. this is the weekly from our table. take you through some of the stories coming here over the past 7 days. first, though, developments over the weekend and efforts to stem the latest surge of cove infections has seen frustrations boil over in 3 e u countries throughout the and the latest unrest in belgium. a few hours ago

this our, the associated press news agency is reporting that a u. s. defense department investigation has found no misconduct or negligence in the mistake and us drone strike on cobble earlier this year. the strike left 10 civilians dead including 7 children. now we have asked for a response from the pentagon. we'll let you know. as soon as they reply, dar corresponded more, i guess day of is across all this forest. more at this drone strike. it was the last violent act in a largely failed 20 years. but it's nobody's fault. so what did this investigation say? well, essentially, and apparently because we haven't seen it ourselves yet. the pentagon says it claims that it isn't guilty, that it was all down to execution. there is a communication breakdown for which no one in particular is guilty these a general errors that, that happened at the time and because of circumstances because of what was happening on the ground in cobble at the time. again, the full report is allegedly classified for security reasons, but the parts have been made available, appa

countries is that this is free with eastern european countries that have not as strong a trade relation is fine up a bear to western your consumption. and they are reliance on the u. s. with purity, solar, taiwan, but in this case, against the threat of russia. and so, i think the point i want is a way to signal strength in relation with the u. s. in this, they have no motivation whether western european countries follow. i mean, there's no question that isn't so on from the europe is the leader of that is french. that is to be esteem. however, i think that, you know, we have to be careful in terms of how we look at the economical issues. when china, for example, when, when there is pressure applied to it, it actually oftentimes will boycott, for example, suitable good to register this budget, red south korea or other countries and the political pension permit. these are not good, but it's on supply chains for life on such doctors. and i think we need to be a little more specific here rather than think of things in the is very fuzzy. obstructions. ok, i think we've got about a minute left. so let me try and get in a final word from victor and victor. what's the bott

u. s. according to the u. s. side, this conflict is getting close to a d'silva and it's certain to affect us money of citizens. but invoice of, you know, the president biden has just left and we're not sure if he had a chance to meet with the prime minister who has insisted that the u. s. government is in support of the t p left. they support them, they give them weapons, it's been leased by the european side. but this comes as the african need in as well as the kenyan. and you got the president push, you open the t p left to sit down and find some common ground. but the development we're watching from a distance in washington dc. the ethiopian side has just reacted. the justice minister has called the 9 coalition with a mission of defeating the government. what it, what they're doing. he's described it as publicity stunt. and it's not being taken seriously in, within the sub over. meanwhile, the un security council was supposed to me earlier on friday to discuss the conflict. and if you're up here, but released the stateme

in fact, it's no coincidence that just prior to the start of this virtual summit between the 2 leaders that the u. s. president signed into law legislation. that is a $1.00 trillion dollar package to rebuild americas infrastructure. this will create jobs, but it will also allow the united states to compete with china in the 21st century according to biden. so, as a result, the u. s. president wanting to make sure that that playing field is level so that there could be increased fair competition and not some of the concerns that the us has had with china and a disruption of global trading norms as us, as alleged in the past. as not speak to katrina you who's in beijing for us. katrina, what does using ping one from this meeting? i think president, she really wants to see as beijing would put it this relationship put back on track . now we've just had some updates from chinese state media posting some very positive footage of president. she didn't pay, making his opening remarks. some of the highlights of things. he said was that the u. s. and trying to both to shoulder international responsibilities,

in other news this weekend, riots in the u. s. f to teenager kyle rittenhouse is cleared of homicide charges. he shot dead to man at a black lives matter protest. last year in wisconsin. he maintained that the killings were in self defense in reaction to the acquittal. violence broke out in the city of portland, which has become a center for the p l. a movement. hundreds of protest has gathered the hurling objects of police officers and breaking the wind as a government buildings. and the information gauge far as price we the jury find that have been in highly written kyle needs read: health not guilty. oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh, so the demonstrations of the rittenhouse verdict across the u. s. with vehicles vandalized and participants detained in new york civil rallies in washington and chicago painted for remain peaceful enough. rittenhouse was cleared of all charges including the attempted murder of a 3rd man. the deadly incident happened during demonstrations triggered after a black man. jacob blake was injured by a white police o

so this is the proposed resolution from u. s. congress to us congressman, in particular as steve cohen and joe wilson, one democrat, and one republican who say they won't recognize vladimir putin as russian president . should he run for office and be re elected in 2024. they have cited the amendments made to the russian constitution back in april. the effectively reset the previous presidential terms and gave puting a green light to run for office in 2024. of course he's serving currently that 2nd 6 year term it would allow him to run in 2024. and then in 2020 at the end of his 1st 6 year tim, theoretically, but it's exactly that which has upset the u. s. now despite the amendments being voted for by 77 percent of the russian population, the u. s. is called a violation of the laws. busy of the russian federation, and going against completely everything that russia should stanfull on the international arena. the 2020 amendments to the russian constitution were enacted in violation of the laws and international commitments of the

this. and the u. s. is doing that because they say, oh, it's going to hurt ukraine. we've heard this story before going ultimately hurt ukraine. if this takes place because the ukrainians need the money that will come from the pipelines that run across their land from russia. and this is being bypass that what germany is saying is there is no reason to believe that it's going to hurt ukraine. and that we need to have our own solidarity and essentially national sovereignty. when it comes to this issue, the russians want to do it. we want to do it, stay out of it with your sanctions are right? and i mean, the germans of basically, that this certification delay is mostly due to the bureaucratic red tape where they have to incorporate inside of germany to do so. and the us been increasingly involved in this situation. obviously they, they, at one point kind of gave their blessing for germany to go ahead and get the guy from russia. but the cremeans kind of saying, hey, the u. s. should not be involved in this process. what are we hearing? yeah, the, the kremlin saying the

this off. the other problem though, as we say, the european union, the u. s. in japan, announcing on wednesday they're going to renew this trilateral partnership to address what they're calling challenges posed by the non market policies and practices of china. really, i mean, it seems like you have almost an antiquated model to deal with china that, that it's time is up. this isn't gonna work. you're, you're, you're running through the same process, you've run through for years and, and not recognizing that that policy has to be dead. you know, there's an added point to what you say then, that it's quite right. over the last 2 weeks, goldman sachs and j. p. morgan chase have both urged their major clients to continue to invest in the people's republic of china. very similar, dealings are being made by leaving corporations in europe and in japan. so part of this is a kind of political theater, right below which the very processes of the last 25 years are in play. and the leading capital is powers. the private corporations are doubling down on china. they don't

this month. as the rebels moved closer to the capital u. s and others have told their citizens to leave immediately. priyanka go to reports. the front line is not an unfamiliar terrain for it. he appears prime minister. by this time, i'll be amad who also holds the rank of lieutenant colonel, has returned to the battle field to rally his troops for what he calls. an existential war. video released by the government shows abi, with soldiers, who are fighting against tiguan rebels in the, off our region, with the way without to what you see behind me is a mountain area that was a strong hold for the enemy until yesterday. now we've managed to clear the area of fully the morale of the defense forces is really great. the war is being undertaken with great feet. now we've taken cast the gator. today we will take over schieffer and burka. we will continue until a theory appears. freedom is insured to pay more noise. since july, the rebels have been expanding the battle from inside t gray into neighboring amera and afar regions. they have ceased tow

u. s. apple is the latest in a string of companies and governments to pursuit the tech company. earlier this month, the u. s. u. s. officials placed it on a trade blacklist. those are the headlines now back to asset master of chaos. ah, on the 21st of august 2013 syrian government forces used chemical weapons in opposition held areas, killing hundreds of people, including many children. new as soon as the year before, the technical weapons would have led line. however, off to the attack, president obama decided not to intervene because it might lead to heavier u. s. involvement in syria. there were some people in the administration who worried that hasn't come at the end be top alden, extremists would take over. those of us who were following siri more closely, kept telling them, stop worrying about that. the extremists are no stronger than a lot of the modern elements, and they're not going to take over. it might just shift the fighting a little bit, but there will not be an islamic state declared in damascus. this lack of a western response seemed to embolden assad. he realised that some w

this. and he said that the u. s. is going to continue at the world trade organization meeting and the coming week to press for a waiver of intellectual rights to the vaccines to allow for them to be manufactured globally. this will allow greater spread off the vaccine to a greater amount of people, particularly on the african continent, which is at the epicenter or the south of the continent, which is at the epicenter of this new variant. but bearing in mind the experts already saying they simply do not know at the stage what help the vaccine is against this new variant. to what degree this new variant is going to test the existing vaccines. in the for the moment my can life 1st there in washington. well, as mike said, there was so much is unknown about the, on the chronic very. and here's what we do know at this point. as we heard, it was 1st identified in south africa from a sample that came from neighboring botswana since then, more than 100 confirmed cases have been detected in those 2 countries as well as hong ko

so what does this agreement mean for the u. s. his ability to engage with the taliban while this is going to be an indirect engagement, but it's a relationship that to the u. s. has a long been practice done because cutter was of the place where the u. s. and the taliban negotiated the end to the u. s. military presence in afghanistan. that agreement, of course reached during the trumpet ministration back in 2020 a. but because the u. s. does not recognize the taliban as the legitimate government in cobbled because of deep concerns about top. it's a treatment of afghan women and children of its treatment of religious minorities, of its commitment to i engaging in put the u. s. considers on fundamental rights the right to free expression, the right to political engagement, the right to challenge the government saw policies. it is not going to extend that recognition, but the u. s. has an obligation to us citizens and to afghan citizens who worked alongside the u. s government during the 20 year long war. and so this is really a way

u. s. climate envoy about this deal between the u. s. and china saying it has strong statements about the emissions gap and an urgent need to accelerate action to close that gap. but is it enough to change the dynamic so much was expected or hoped for from china? is this a significant moment? it certainly is, it's a dramatic moment to no, i was expecting this in the wake of a pretty down beat message. you heard there from the u. k. prime minister for us, johnson a suddenly this a declaration joint declaration. we're anston an unusual way with the u. s climate envoy carriers you just mentioned. i'm declaring that the 2 biggest economies in the world. we're going to, we're 2 together to raise climate ambition. not only are they the 2 largest economies in the world that the biggest polluters in the world, and this has been the real issue, particularly china that would not commit to the same sort of a standards as many other countries. so really at that there were still some more detail to come in fact a lot more detail to come. but there's

this follows the visits of u. s. assistance actually save molly fee to suit don, where leaders confirmed the process is underway to free prisoners as her story that we've been following for the past couple of hours, 3 people have been killed. more than 30 injured in twin suicide bombings in uganda's capital. i sellers claim responsibility, but on the ground, the finger of blame is still pointing at another group that's become tight linked with it. the, our defense voice as was formed on the border of your gander in the democratic republic of congo in the mid ninety's. it principally recruited from the muslim population, but it's also drawn fighters along secular ethnic lines. after some early attacks, the focus tend to economic and political interest in the dense mountain forests of the east and d. r. c. but violence directed towards the congolese military began in 2013 with thousands of deaths to follow, or the group now says it's aligned with eyes hilbert. united nation says there's no evidence of any direct link

this. but also when i'm talking about the u. s. military, i'm talking about giving this problem the attention it deserves. this is not something i believe is really best set up for the guard to handle. this is something where i say president biden should have an executive order. worked with the department of defense, the secretary to fans, and say last allocate the necessary men women and equipment to get those containers unloaded off those ships, get those containers out of the ports. the big problem, no one's talking about, is there several 100000 containers sitting right there in the ports to day. so they're actually running out of room to bring off containers input into the board. so we've got to clean that backlog out and being able to leverage military equipment to do this and allow these trucks to operate on the roads, which they're normally not allowed to do except in dimes, of national defense and, and war. so i say give them the authority they need to do that. this is really a great opportunity from a bite and ministrati

this is out there, live from dough also coming up. and ally effects president donald trump terms themself in to face contempt charges for refusing to cooperate with an investigation into the u. s. capitol hill briars. i'm never going to back down like late they took all the wrong guy this. not you. sanctions for believers that you and the u. s. plan to expand restrictions on minsk accusing it of encouraging migrants to legally cross into poland. and teddy's president, faces and impeachment hearing accused of using his political power to boost his own business interests. ah. the president of the u. s. in china have held a virtual summit to try and on out issues that continue to cause tensions between them. trade, taiwan sovereignty and human rights in hong kong, were expected to be at the heart of the discussion. was speaking ahead of the start of the virtual meeting present. gigi, ping and joe biden, both agreed. they needed to strengthen communication and coexist peacefully. we believe. busy and you and i have talked about this, all countries have to play by the same rules of the road. why the united states is always going to stand up for some values. and those are allies imp

u. s. government with regard not only to any type of military action but nation building because of the way the u. s. handle this, there's no doubt in my mind that people are going to be very, very careful before they step up and put their lives on the line. we lost a lot as a result of joe biden, but i have confidence that at one point we'll get it back. it's going to take time, but we've got to get back the trust of the american people. ready for the u. s. government before anything else. that is it for me this hour and about 33 minutes, i will be back with a look at your headlights. this is our to international. glad to have you with when i was showing wrong, when i just don't move any news world. yes to shape out these days because of the attitude and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. join me every thursday on the alex simon. sure. but i'll be speaking together in the world of politics, sport, business, i'm show business. i'll see you then the today's news views one congressman is daring to hold a public panel on an issue which is beco

u. s. apple is the latest in a string of companies in governments to pursue the tech company. earlier this month, the u. s. u. s. officials placed it on a trade blacklist. rescue and recovery operations are continuing in southern india after devastating floods. at least 30 people are dead or missing. thousands have been evacuated to relief camps as more heavy rain is predicted over the next few days. elizabeth, for on a report. the southern city of ben glued who has received more than $400.00 times the amount of rain it usually does in november. flooding has led to the deaths of at least 24 people in the state of car malika and thousands have been stranded, emergency workers using boats to rescue people from their homes. but a lot of writing is that heavy rating is probably likely to continue 3 or $4.00 to $603.00. it's not nearly 3000 because we are living in other parts of the glue to many can't get into their homes. we can't go inside the house and there's too much water in front of it. all the groceries are inside and we've been outside the house since last night. many people are conce

this year. so far, the u. s. and this black friday, a day renowned for certainly a lot of purchases by customers, retailers behind you and not very large bow blue, quite nervous, what they surely about what they're hearing about this barrier and, and how it might impact on their business have they had a good day today. well, it's a little early to tell. we're one of the biggest balls in the united states for 2nd biggest in the united states to be exact. it's in east rotherford, new jersey has over a 150 different shops. anecdotally say that it's not as busy as we would have expected. there are some early numbers coming out from some analysts saying that it looks like it's up about 10 percent in terms of buying in the united states. so for on friday, those are very early numbers and even if that holes, that's not as high as they would want it, retailers are worried and because they're already dealing with 3 major struggles, number one is supply chain issues globally are affecting the amount of inventory they have n

u. s. of signing was a t p a left. and this comes in addition to constantly or planning to constantly trade agreement between the ethiopia and the united states that really creates at thousands of jobs. and it's your best industrial parks court at the capitol fall. and if so, how quickly? well, it's really hard to make that determination because the information we're getting, we're getting from both sides conflict each other. the children government hasn't even acknowledged the fact that tough dessie and convulsion have been taken over by t p, an f. there are news reports saying that the t p a left soldiers are in the sovereign sofa d'silva, who will not seen that, but what we know is it yoga is now under an emergency order to how, according to the children, government protect the foundation of this country. there are many, many people that are being affected, and there are many people that displease people that are heading to our d'silva us well us, if the rumors are any indication, perhaps there might be a fighting nearby and
