peter hannam is the environment editor for the sydney morning herald. he joins us from sydney. it seems records, new records being set all the time in australia in terms of heat and of course the fires we have seen in the last year oi’ fires we have seen in the last year orso? fires we have seen in the last year or so? yes, sydney has had two days ina row or so? yes, sydney has had two days in a row at about a0 degrees, saturday and sunday. it has only happened once before at any time in the last 160 years of records. it shows you that we're not even into summer shows you that we're not even into summerand we shows you that we're not even into summer and we are shows you that we're not even into summer and we are hitting temperatures, by old measure is 105 degrees each day. it remains to be seen degrees each day. it remains to be seen just how many of the records will be broken from this current heatwave, but it does look like both south australia and new south wales states have set records for november in this current heatwave. our people in australia in any doubt that globa

and here in sydney at sydney airport noticed a record $43.00 degrees centigrade with close to temperatures. only marginally less . thousands flocked to sydney's beaches which recorded a temperature of 40 degrees centigrade for 2 days running. and that's the 1st time that's in 80 years. the immediate danger, not so great, the number of active bush has now dropped to about 54, but it has to be said that the extreme weather conditions do not bode well for australia's eastern seaboard, which is still recovering from the disastrous bushfire season, which broke out towards the end of last year, right and claimed all its well right last year was one of the country's worst ever fire seasons. so how to view fires compared to that? well, of course, the last fires could sided with a period of intense drought, which turned much of the countryside into a bushel. tinderbox, if you like, but there's been a lower rain in the past few months. so dry conditions don't pose quite so much of a problem. this time around, so really no one wants a repeat of the bush farmers and say, which burned about 20000000000

this fire is in the sydney suburb of north me. it's just one of dozens of wildfires that have been burning across the state of new south wales. it's also reminiscent of the scenes that played out during the devastating bushfires in australia last summer. huge swathes of land were destroyed and the authorities are warning australians not to become complacent. this time around. we cannot fall into why false sense of security the community out there unfortunately thinks that after the last season, we are not at risk. the reality is 90 percent of the stuff i still untouched by heat waves are not unusual in australia at this time of year. but with the late november temperatures searching records, residents of australia's most populous station being asked to be extra vigilant. the state's fire service, total fire ban for large areas of the station over the weekend, saying there was a very high to severe fire danger. residents of new thought with wales will have to stay alert with high temperatures for cost and parts of the station for s

the departure gates to sydney have been quite busy but they have also been quite emotional. we were speaking to families at one of the departure gates about to board a flight to sydney for the first time in 4.5 months and it's a mixed bag of emotions. excitement, relief and a bit of nerves. we spoke to women whose grandchildren were born in the last few months, they weren't able to see them, some of them told me they couldn't sleep last night, just waiting for this moment. when new south wales closed its borders to be courier, that was an unprecedented move, the first time in about 100 years back in july but that was in response to the surge of cases that happened here in melbourne and in victoria. now with 24 days running with zero covid—19 cases, it feels like the country's second state and the city of melbourne have turned a big corner and this is why we are seeing air—traffic now resuming between melbourne and sydney. as you say, it's one of the world's busiest air routes. they are starting on 20% capacity but many here are telling us they are hoping the demand will

sydney thunder will play the melbourne stars in the final of the women's big bash after sydney pulled off a thrilling 12 run victory over the brisbane heat. england's tammi beaumont and heather knight were playing for sydney. both got a start in their innings, but both got out once well set. knight went for 17 and beaumont for 27. sydney's total of i43 looked vulnerable, and brisbane looked on course for victory, but they collapsed to 131 all out with nine balls still remaining. beaumont played her part with this run out as brisbane fell apart. before we go, don't forget, you can catch up with all the latest from snooker‘s uk championship. this morning, mark allen made it through to round 2 with a 6—1 win overjamie wilson. you can find more that and all of our stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport thanks, gavin. see you later. a very good afternoon. this is bbc news. i'mjane hill, to ta ke this is bbc news. i'mjane hill, to take you through the next few hours of coverage, particularly around coronaviruses afternoon, as you would expect, and we will have lots of

the heat wave has gone from sydney. it's not entirely gone from new south wales or queens in this in this area here. and birdsville still sitting in it, but there's clearly a change on the way. so focus was used about 47 birds that we got 29 in sydney on a windy day on tuesday is pretty warm in brisbane, but that's not abnormal. the abnormal weather, they windy and wet, weather is still going through victoria and tasmania to leave cool weather behind our label to drop at least 11 degrees on this forecast in tuesday. whereas pearse is warming up nicely to about 30 on wednesday and birdsville down to 40 down to near where it should be. 47, by the way, is one off the record bird still holds that the, the heat record. she can see sydney's change tack altogether is certainly reason one of 2 showers are possible in new south wales or queens. and as a result of that, sydney's forecast does not warp significantly. $24.00 degrees rising to $27.00 by friday. hardly a heat for you. that's where it should be. and wind is also showi

only, steve is in sydney, ohio. good morning. you are on the air. caller: i'm very pleased to be on the air. i vote in sydney, ohio. 18,000 people be for donald trump. 4000 people for mr. biden. we thought that would go that way all over the place. but it did not. have people here that are getting their food in parking lots. have a lady called pelosi fighting against the president trying to get $1 trillion to give to people we don't even know, have never paid a penny into the treasury. then, that second check has never come for these people because she has been fighting against all those other people trying to get some assistance. democrat not been one stood up and said this is very andg what she was doing they have not done or said a thing about it. it all hit limbo. nobody here is getting nothing but their food in parking lots. this is so wrong. i served my country during the vietnam war. all four of my brothers went into the service. i am so glad you took my call right off the bat. host: we are glad to have you on this morning, steve. thanks for

sydney powell was. but i guess, when you lose rush limbaugh, case is closed. >> you call a gigantic press conference like that. one that lasts an hour. and you announce massive bombshells. then, you better have some bombshells. there'd better be something at that press conference, other than what we got. i talked to so many people who were blown away by it. by the very nature of the press con -- but they promised blockbuster stuff, and then nothing happened. and that's just -- that's not -- well, it's just -- it's not good. >> hmm, that's not good. where have they been with the evidence? were they hoping, somehow, that sydney powell, jenna ellis, rudy giuliani, et al., esquires et al. would, somehow, come up with a way to actually steal the election? it was right in front of their faces. there was no path. they knew it was a bunch of bs. it was obvious to everybody. unless, you just don't want to believe the truth, and you're living in an alternative reality. that is the truth. tough as it is to hear fo

sydney powell is practicing law on her own. she is not a member of the trump legal team. she is also not a lawyer for the president in his personal capacity. again, powell appeared alongside both of them just a few days ago, and giuliani at that news conference said, quote, i'm in charge of this investigation with sydney and the people you see there. the question is why are they distancing themselves from powell. she has been peddling a number of conspiracy theories about the 2020 election. some of them very similar to the conspo conspiracies giuliani and ellis and the president have said. she's accused georgia's republican governor of being involved in rigging the 2020 election. these claims have no basis in fact or reality, but for days on end, she was making these claims and it didn't seem to bother the trump campaign legal team. somewhere along the lines it seems she may have crossed the line, even for the president's attorneys. again, regardless of who is on the team, the legal efforts aren't going anywhere fast. they're hitting dead end after dead end. the latest wa

that is rudy giuliani, jenna alice and sydney powell and apparently sydney powell is not part of the team anymore. yeah, the legal team distancing itself from sydney will reportedly because for conspiracy theories went too far even for the likes of rudy giuliani and this is what powell said at a press conference just last week. take a listen, dominion voting systems, the smartmatic technology software, and the software that got us and other computerized voting systems here as well. not just a minyan, were created and films in venezuela at the direction of hugo chavez. so next year he never lost an election. after one constitutional referendum came out, the way he did not want to come out. all right, to fund the deceased hugo chavez, venezuela, and the us presidential election. so how far would you say we are from the twilight zone right now? around if there is something beyond to try lead some of them, we're past the twilight zone and we're actually behind that or beyond that in my view, at least because that is just that i don't have almost any worse nor have any observer . see, or

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 i

in sydney. it won't last long either. you're back down to normal by tuesday, 33 down to about 22 as what he's a frontal system goes through. we're left with the heat in the outback of queensland and breeze from still quite warm at 31 degrees. but any significant rain has now gone south across the tasman, that's affecting the south on the new zealand. for monday. i can unlock my phone with my face. you can access your bank accounts with your voice unique algorithmic measurements of us that are revolutionizing the process of identification. the biometrics are far from perfect a convenience and seeming infallibility comes at a cost. most crucially, our privacy, and in the fall from a far far series are the radio addresses the appropriation of our most personal characteristics. all hail the algorithm on not just the euro. again, this is al-jazeera. let's remind you of the main news this hour. the leader of the region in northern ethiopia says his forces are in conflict with eritrea on several fronts. he's confirmed a rocket a

from sydney, phil mercer reports. looking into a future dominated by fossilfuel, this 13—year—old doesn't like what she sees. supported by her father, the sydney high school student says she is deeply anxious about the threat of climate change. is it worth bringing kids into this world if their future is just going to be struggling to breathe from the smoke and being afraid that their house is going to be burnt down or swept away by land erosion or rising sea levels ? land erosion or rising sea levels? the decision to take the australian government to court over coal was fuelled by the black summer bushfires. the teenagers insist that that sort of devastation will become more frequent because of climate change. their class action asserts that the environment minister has a duty to protect younger people into the future, and the coal needs to stay in the ground. young australians have been vocal about global warming. rallies last year attracted vast impatient crowds demanding action. from this movement, eight teena

the heat wave has gone from sydney. it's not entirely gone from new south wales or queens in this in this area here, and birdsville still sitting in it, but there's clearly a change on the way. so focus for us is about 47 in birdsville. we've got 29 in sydney on a windy day on tuesday. it's pretty warm in brisbane that's not abnormal. the abnormal weather, they windy and wet, weather is still going through victoria and tasmania to leave cool weather behind our label to drop at least 11 degrees on this forecast. and tuesday, whereas percy is warming up nicely to about 30 on wednesday and birdsville down to 40, danton a were should be 47 by the way, is one off the record bird still holds that the, the heat record. as you can see sydney's change tack altogether, certainly reason one or 2 showers are possible in new south wales or queen's and as a result of that, sydney's forecast does not warm significantly $24.00 degrees rising to $27.00 by friday. hardly a heat for you. that's where it should be. and wind is also showing

first, i'm in charge of this investigation with sydney and the people that you see here. there's no pressure to stop investigating dominion. no, there's -- >> no, there's -- >> no, there's pressure to go as fast as we can. i think there was uniform shock when we first heard it. i think when i first heard it, i didn't believe it until sydney showed me the documents. in fact, i feel kind of stupid in the lawsuit, all you had to do is go online and find that smartmatic is owned by venezuelans close to schavoussc. the koumer character took off all of his social media. the man is a vicious, vicious man. he wrote horrible things about the president. he's completely biased. he specifically says they're going to fix this election. i don't know what you need to wake you up, to do your job. and in fact the american people, whether you like it or not, of the things they need to know, this is real. it is not made up -- there's nobody here that engages in fantasy. i've tried 100 cases. i've prosecuted some of the most dangerous criminals in the world. i know crimes. i can smell them.

sydney won by 12 runs and will face melbourne stars in the final. the former queens park rangers defender anton ferdinand has spoken publically for the first time about the match that threatened to tear english football apart. after chelsea's defeat at loftus road 9 years ago, john terry was charged by the police for using racist language towards ferdinand, he was stripped of the england captaincy, the head coach fabio capello resigned because of it, and though terry was cleared in a court of law 10 months later, the fa subsequently found him guilty and banned him for 6 games and fined him over 200,000 pounds. now in a film that will go out on bbc one next monday night, ferdinand has revealed the impact that the incident had on his life, and how he was never the same player again. he's been speaking to our reporter nesta macgregor. you have signed john terry shirt in your house. he said the last time we spoke to him was in the tunnel after the game. where does he stand in your estimation today? my feeling would be the same as what it is in the docum

what seemed to be that got to the president was the constant criticism of sydney powell. she was being described as an embarrassment by people like chris christie after accusing the georgia governor of crimes with no evidence. you saw tucker carlson also go after her saying she provided no evidence to back up her claims last week. and so we're told by sources that the president is getting phone call after phone call from people over the weekend saying that he had to drop her from his team because she was basically in effect embarrassing him. so i think that's what led to that statement coming out last night. but you were still very much seeing the president try to contest the outcome of this election, making these desperate attempts that are not working out clearly. but all while that is going on, we should note the president is still continuing to fund-raise. they've sent over 330 emails since the night of the election trying to fund-raise from his supporters and while they're arguing this a lot of that is going toward this election defense fund, as they're calling it, w

sydney's not the woman's 462 years for a november day time. we were up to 40 degrees and of course, farces now. so days had be fought just a variety of small ones outside sydney and they were thwarted by these helicopters, but the thames is already changing now. suddenly wind means it's $25.00 degrees. the heat hasn't gone completely with $32.00 in adelaide. you'll notice during monday and tuesday that goes down the next frontal system comes through all the action is in tasmania, victoria. but the cool prevails in sydney coated 19 is a public health crisis that has been compounded by capitalism, navigates the big questions, raised by the global pandemic. how the system based on private ownership of profit, the world in a time of us, capitalism is the pandemic. the mark of the current exploit. it could take a people for the profit episode, one of the full hail the meltdown on al-jazeera. hello again. you're watching al-jazeera has a reminder of our top stories this hour. a leader of ethiopia's to a region has found to fight on despite the prime

in a book i just read recently by sydney. all the powers, and this is the pre- presidential history of abraham lincoln. but it's so more than that. the social logical and political history of the tumultuous years between 1956 in 1960. so much it's sandwiched into the foyer. and it made the civil war really inevitable. everything from populist to stephen douglas to the kansas nebraska act and live in kansas brown's grades rated the over these are these really for important civil years that led to the civil war. and the sydney goes "in depth" into some of the main characters, stephen douglas, charles the summer. and others and is just really a great piece of history. and there's a lot in there that's written one month entered might not normally no. one of the characters, from a historical point of view is stephen douglas. really a demagogue. willing to sacrifice all kinds of principles to advance his career and of course, he tragically failed now to deliver meanwhile did huge damage to the country. during the missouri compromis

certainly, not on the scale that -- that is being alleged by sydney powell and rudy giuliani. but, you know, there -- there is -- there is a lot of concern about the big changes that were made before this election with mail-in ballots. and the impact that that had on elections. so, i -- i don't see everybody, you know, cowering away. i think a lot of republicans, most republicans i talk to, are encouraging that we take a serious look at -- at -- at the security features and look at these -- look at this information. so, i don't think anybody's cowering away. i think there's going to be a lot of action, after this election, to talk about if we're -- you know, these changes that we've made and the way -- you know, we have election week and months, instead of election day. and that's -- and that's a security issue. i think -- i think a lot of republicans are actually cheering the president for bringing this to light. so we can actually try to do something after this -- after this election is settled. >> right. but -- but -- but, rick, the -- the -- the election was stolen. it's n

course, inauguration day a research associate at the united states studies center at the university of sydney. he told us the lawsuit farm in pennsylvania has little chance of progressing any further. the case itself was thrown out very, very quickly. it's doesn't have much of a legal standing. the, the words of the judge actually it was almost as if he was insulted by, by having to, to hear the case at all. so it is not a very strong case if they bring in pennsylvania. and of course, this case, and this state is a crucial one in that electoral map. so it's looking more and more unlikely, and it's been on unlikely since the start that any of these legal avenues were going to bear fruit for the trump campaign. and we're really just getting to the point now where they're running out of options. there's always been talk of the supreme court. president trump said on election night itself, that we will fight this in the supreme court. but it's not clear that there's any pathway there for them now, quite simply that running out of time before the electoral college has a safe harbor deadline on dece

our correspondent in sydney, shaimaa khalil, is following this. will this report lead to criminal prosecutions? i think we can. it is going to bea i think we can. it is going to be a lengthy and complicated process according to the prime minister but he did say that a special investigator will be appointed within the framework of the home affairs department and that he will be responsible for taking the findings of this report, finding collaborating evidence and then referring to the public prosecutor who then can take it to the criminal code. it is a very long and complicated process, the prime minister said, because there are so many minister said, because there are so many incidents to be investigated further but this will ensure justice. this investigated further but this will ensurejustice. this is what he said to the afghan authorities and the afghan president when he apologised himself, his any further investigation will ensure justice to those who were the victims of those alleged unlawful killings. it seems what emerged was a cultural pro

what i do know is sydney powell and rudy giuliani need to come up with a lot and come up with it soon to present in court. 0therwise come up with it soon to present in court. otherwise we might be reaching territory that makes space — we we're getting out there on a limb, let us put it that way. what are some of the avenues available now, if the evidence is not therefore the legal challenges. when does that leave the jump administration? it leaves the trump administration all the way to 2020 and that will be the end of the trump administration. but we will have a lasting legacy for many yea rs have a lasting legacy for many years to come. lenses leave republicans? not many have come out and said it is time for donald trump to go. lots of people are saying there is no evidence yet. joe biden is the president—elect. the senior republicans who may know privately that the game is up but are not seeing it publicly, how will historyjudge them?” think the reality is we do have a system of checks and balances. we do have a system that allows for cases like this to be heard in court. i d

that is rudy giuliani, jenna alice and sydney powell. and apparently sidney powell is not part of the team anymore. yeah, the team distancing itself from sydney powell reportedly because for conspiracy theories went too far even for the likes of rudy giuliani and this is what powell said at a press conference just last week. take a listen, dominion voting systems, the smartmatic technology software, and the software that goes and other computerized voting systems here as well. not just a minion, were created and billions in venezuela at the direction of hugo chavez tonight. sure, he never lost an election after one constitutional referendum came out the way he did not want to come out. all right, to fund the deceased hugo chavez, venezuela, and the us presidential election. so how far would you say we are from the twilight zone right now? around if there is something beyond to try, let's all of them, we're past the twilight zone and we're actually behind that or beyond that in my view, at least because that is just that i don't have almo

this hour the trump campaign says one of its own lawyers sydney powell is not a member of the team, which is quite the headscratcher, since she appears the rudy giuliani last week at a press conference. despite drama in trump's inner circle, a recount remains underway in wisconsin tonight, one of many states that trump continues to claim without evidence that thousands of absentee ballots are fraudulent. in the case of wisconsin, the ballots they question are from predominantly black areas. amid ongoing baseless legal fights, trump apparently still feels the need to get in his presidential golfing quota for the weekend. frankly, for a president who only wants to win, good decision, because the golf course is just about the only place he is winning these days. case in point, last night in pennsylvania a judge ruled against rudy giuliani's effort to toss out ballots. the court ruled against them because to claim fraud, the judge apparently needs solid evidence of fraud. who knew? so the trump campaign is now appealing in what many now believe is an effort to invalidate millions of pennsylva
