celebrations in parts of cannot cree with strong opposition supports. there are still anger less than a year after president africa, and they want a controversial 3rd term. use a buzz, a journalist, and get his joining us on the phone from the capital cannot use if the past few hours. you've been describing a confusing a situation with foss moving events, any more clarity on what's happening in the capital, and who's running the country right now. just one of the lot saws said, well, one will be given by phone from told me that the president. now in the honda negotiation is going on by actually not totally about the many so many cells goes in the room. i'm going on the security of the shot dead boy didn't

come back to me. said the been busy now. we've got to bump to me. also received a call from one of these as usual on sending them to follow up. because once i was off, no i said to be the new students everybody up took into the screen in support of the people. what did god bless you do. 2 god bless you didn't come from the problems it was one to be up and what was going to come to a person in

charge of this? well, the use of it in protest in greece and i'm talking to you. i've been so all went for me to say, su, we are good. you know where you are, right. so for leave it there because we are having some audio issues with the line from can i cree, but thank you so much for bringing us that update. let's bring in our west africa, corresponded nicholas hopkins, joining me from the current syndic also nicholas. just talk us through how guinea got into this situation and what could be behind this attempted crew. well, what we have to remember is a context in which you also con, they has been ruling the country for the last 11 years. there's been multiple forwarded crews. there was one last, last november on november 14th, shortly after he took power in a contested hotly contested election where the both the opposition in civil society

actors were not in the street to demonstrate what they saw as the quality trying to cling on to power. when he did, in effect, is changed. the constitution amended, in order to allow him to run for a 3rd mandate. and when the results came out and they were substantially in the favor about the country, they disputed the election results and have since and always said that he is an illiterate ruler of the country. now having said that, a company has tried to engage in dialogue with the opposition in civil society actors, but in vain. he's been increasingly isolated, not just from members of the political society, but also from neighboring country. senate go closed off in the border. so did guinea be so when, when he was elected the former the french president, a menu in my home, had strong words again to accommodate saying that he grabbed on to power reciting

with civil society actors. so he's been increasingly isolate isolated, just last week, when he's been asking the population, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, to really restrain their, their expenses, to, to cut down on their wages, etc. he's put in a bill into the national parliament, giving more budgetary increase for the president's office, meaning that members of the people working for the president, he would have a pay raise. and though is working for other ministries, including security forces, would have a 5 percent decrease in their pay. and that really added to more disgruntled discourse on ment and feelings of, of, of, of division within the country. there's not only division amongst those that are close to the power and those are feeling alienated by the power. but there are also ethnic divisions amongst 1000000 key who are a minority ethnic group that hold key position in the government and the full on

the majority. if you mix all that together during, during, it's really a hot part where there is a lot of reasons why many within the military or within power would want to seek and to alpha con days rule during the nicholas how closely will regional countries as well as the international community be looking at the situation and perhaps with some concern. yes, i mean, i mean very few people know giddy. it's a small country in west africa and made me wonder why is this important? well, guinea, one simple fact is the biggest and largest exporter of iron in or in the world. i mean that in all bits of electronics going from mobile phones to cameras, microwave, or even cars. there's a bit of iron or that comes from guinea. and that industry as a whole has really been seeing a boom in the last decade over the time of the conduct where he's strong.

struct deals with chinese, mineral companies and russians and french and even americans. but that wealth has not trickled down to ordinary people in, in guinea. it's a country that's extremely wealthy where people live in dire poverty. and there's been real anger and criticism that also con, they himself has been profiting with opposition. figures accusing him of corruption and it's interesting to note as soon as the, these military officers arrested con they, they were quick to make an announcement not national television, but in social media. and it says to you who they were targeting by doing just so they're targeting young people and they're saying to them, let's remain united. this is the end of corruption. we need to invest in our hospitals in our schools are very much a political agenda that was been put forward by the,

by the military. that they say they're not here for the long run. they want to quick transition to civilian power. but at the moment we're seeing is that there's an area of the capital where there is still gunfire erupted, and then there's an other area of the capital where there was celebrations. and that's really a reflection of what's happening in the country as a whole division uncertainty of who's in charge of the country and what is to come next. thank you. nicholas hock, reporting from the or on the unfolding situation in guinea while speaking of the international community, the un secretary general has tweeted about the parents, coo and he says, i am personally following the situation in guinea very closely. i strongly condemn any takeover of the government by force of the gun and call for the immediate release of president of con dame. well, more now on the president himself. and he 1st came to power in 2010 in the country's 1st democratic election since independence from france in 1958 con days.

victory was seen as a break from a history of military coups and authoritarian rule. he went on to secure a 2nd 5 year term and 2015 back by his middling k ethnic group that makes up about 30 percent of the population from the face, a series of protests for pushing through constitutional changes to secure that 3rd term in office last year he had argued that the to term limit didn't apply, claiming the new constitution put the clock back to 0. opponents accused him off intimidating voters. joining us via skype from aberdeen is minute coons, a electra and international relations at the university of aberdeen. thanks for your time. are you surprised by this attempted coup in guinea? or no, not quite surprised. as you know, cause are more new to to give me. we've had quite a few calls in the past, and there have been rumors about an eminent call and getting in didn't be almost past one year or so since the election. so i am not surprised. i can you,

when you talk to people in gaming, you can feel back on ease or level levels and it's quite something that was expected. journalists, we were just spoken and speaking to a few minutes ago was saying that he had spoken to a source from the army or the special forces who was saying right now there are negotiations taking place with alpha con day. what do you expect to happen there? and what do you think these negotiations will look like? so i think the, the situation right now is a little tricky. because the people who have conducted this, who are special forces, who are generally smaller in $42.00, even though it might, they may be more effective, but they're generally smaller. whereas the rest of the army may not generate. he

may not or support the so it's a retreat at the moment because there's your boss on the army right now who perhaps supporting can be so we are not very sure that the situation is quite finish yet. the special forces were arrested out of the car. well trained, able to do something like this, but when that they'll be able to find the entire corner. and then the entire country is something we have to wait and see. it's quite possible that we can do it, but it's not quite, i don't view it right. there will be negotiation. yes. so what impact then do these divisions and tensions within the army itself have on the current situation? so that's a very important question, but a little bit difficult to answer because we will have to watch and see what happens

. the thing is leaders like i'm stuck on the usually stuff the i'm you would know your list from your ethnic group. i'm one, something happens like list people may seed us not only talk on condie, but also an ethnic group. so it's possible for people to rise or to defend whatever interest you have in the government. however, the need of seeing also i've gone so it's a tricky situation. so the people actually orchestrating the who are from the same ethnic group. so it's going to be difficult, but we have to watch and see what is the significance of the constitution itself being dissolved. right. what i would say here, and i've said many times on 0 before in the constitution in west africa, for example, more longer valuable. so what you see has happened in,

in you've was or in march or in is that people weren't able to change the constitution to suit your interest. so you need a claim to be politician, can change the constitution. we'll then the military can was justice and that goes to church and as well. so the constitution at this point is not really important because people think that i can be in power fraudulently through the constitution. so it has no impact. so for the military to say we have dissolved the constitution is just a saying that we have not only power in the body could do that if you have the force of arms to do it, just as court to get a few months back. so that was due to sion is no longer relevant instruments in the circumstances. how will the international community, and particularly former colonial power france be looking at the situation.

so as you've already heard from the un secretary general, they will say the same things we call for not moving lead as to on constitutional means. we want to not be to return into constitutional order. it see this things over and older. but as you can see, as we saw in mon, you didn't no longer have meaning on the ground disorders to power. i'm not thinking about what the us will see or not see. they're thinking about the situation in getting in the corner. there is some connection between be this particular don't bother you. i'm friends in the sense that he's there for my major. now. i'm from has not been very happy with me in the past few years, so we'll still see how endeavor looks, whether there's any link between this particular qu,

i'm friends. the one we saw in the front came out and condemned the call in monday, but i haven't yet had an official statement from frontier. so we don't know if this is connected to friends, as we saw in charge from sometimes support just to actions. in some cases they do know. so we were again after we can see if this is something connected to friends, which could be that we need to see. yeah, we will see how the story developed for the time being. thank you so much a minute like can say for speaking to us or aberdeen. thank you. plenty morehead, on the auto renews our including this. i thought it was definitely another in no way hung up. joseph. more shelling and syria is rebel held on plato. fighter russian broker seats, fire agreements, we look at what's driving the ongoing fighting their sport wells are bailed out by

there just as far forward world qualifying action. coming up a little later on the program, me but the leader of the national resistance francais, he's willing to stop fighting the taliban if they withdraw from the pans your valley, there's been heavy fighting in the mountainous region, north of the capitol, where opposition forces are battling the taliban, the national resistance, france is made up of malicious and former afghan security force members. both sides claim they've inflicted heavy losses. top us general has war and there's a chance of a broader civil war trail. stratford has more from capital. there has been heavy fighting for the last 24 hours or so. we've spoken to sources in that area. they're telling us that the in our if a saying that they have taken captive hundreds of tale bond prisoners apparently.

and there is no way that we can independently confirm this. the solid bond were taken by surprise having crossed the bridge in an an area called don sock, at which point, according to the saw saying that they were then surrounded by the n r f. and the bridge was blown up. sort of the n r f are very well armed. we were there the day before yesterday speaking to locals. who said that in the build up to the thought about taking control of cobble. they had seen lots of weapons go into the valley. analysts say that the n r f, which are predominately made up of former a. i. c, i got national army soldiers, militias, and an ethnic minority in that valley made up of topics. and these analysts to saying that this build up of weapons has been going on for years, their growing phase about the estimated 15200000 people inside

the valley. and all communication has been cut off. we also know that the thought about, so we'll be told to talk about a cut the electricity as well. so it is very difficult to get independent verification of exactly what's going on. or car has become a major transit point for refugees. fleeing of dawn dawn, and it's using accommodation meant for the fif of football world cup next year to house them. a big reports. just a few minutes drive away from the heart of got this capital doha. this residential compound is now hosting african refugees. the accommodation was meant for visitors during the fif of football will come next year. but the situation in afghanistan has changed quickly, causing many to flee. those arriving here are given health checks, cafeteria matter, move to the not. there is a clinic operating around the clock and a p c r. examination. this compound containing a mosque was closed. but we opened it because our african brothers wanted to pray.

and for the occasion the 1st friday prayer was held yesterday. but there has been at the center of diplomatic efforts with the bon, who are now in power enough finest on. and it was also closely involved in evacuating people from cobbled airport, one of the largest humanitarian evacuations in history. united nations and fif, appraised it involvement. it's impressive, it's amazing that cutter is doing this, and qatar has done so much from hosting the talks here for so long from helping now to build the lift for humanitarian supplies, to start going back into afghanistan. and for helping in many, many different ways to help resolve the conflict for the benefit of its people. the fact that this compound has been able to be transformed into a home for people from ganley's time for the transitional period. it's something that, of course, fills out the joy of the united states and european countries are also being to

host refugees. but for now, it's the host nation for the world cup in 2022, that's making its new facilities available for communication. i said big, i just don't the enrollment of the serbian orthodox churches leader in montenegro who's gone ahead despite protests, demonstrators blocked roads and fought with the least before the ceremony opponent . see the church as a symbol of creeping serbian influence. 15 years after montenegro became independent zane bas robbie reports police and protesters fight in the montenegrin capital of the demonstrations against the you know the ration of the new head of the serbian orthodox church, fascism fashion and pure fascism, their secretary and gang colorado. this was the through t us at all,

for no reason. they were not over $5000.00 of us in the sense that in front of them, one of 3, they threw tear gas all the time and we didn't see anything. montenegro declared independence from serbia in 2006 following years of ethnic violence and political turmoil triggered by the breakup of the former yugoslavia. but the serbian orthodox church still represents the country's dominant religion. and the 10 year old serbian capital remains a cultural center for serbians inside montenegro. the ceremony to inaugurate a new church leader reopening old news. it's difficult to find the serbian pre law who can have a vigorous lobby. montenegrins who opposed ties with serbia say the serbian orthodox church does not serve their interests and is influenced by belgrade. protestors that have roadblocks to the monastery to keep church and stay dignitaries away but failed to stop the ceremony. the new church leader acknowledged the deep divisions or boston forgive us for

a lot of inconvenience and division seen here since last minute. these divisions were artificially provoked, and we have done everything to prevent them and to remove. but it will take us a long time. nearly a 3rd of montenegro, 620000 people, considered themselves serbs. some refused to acknowledge montenegro independence and oppose. montenegrins who want an independent orthodox church to replace the serbian rival political parties. stoke tensions by backing activists on either side of the controversy. the ascension of a new religious leader. now a flash point for ethnic tensions in an ongoing conflict over national identity is in basra. b o 0 out there in the balkans reporter ivan popovich has more from montenegro capital. this morning we saw some pictures of the places between the protest this and the police. the police effect was the processes with tear gas

. they responded with roaming back rock to the police as we heard from the police there, there. ready is a couple of people injured on both sides. now, situation is actually comb. protesters finished with their rally after they heard that this integration took place to despite the blockhead that they've located the city. in in order to prevent the gratian but the head of the 3rd be an orthodox church. but 3 arc and the bishop unique here came there with the helicopter. and now after the ceremony, and they went back the 50 capital of the capital opened in eager. so now hero of 30 kilometers away from the saving it from the place where the integration took place. now they are holding award to the believer. they were not in a position to speak to the believers because they were no people there at the

monastery setting. and now they're saying, we can see actually some people here get there in front of the spam folder with serbian flags. people who protest within 15 were holding the negro safe legs. so so a question of identity and about division in this country. i have the dimensions that the main population in this country when it comes to religion, our orthodox christians, there are some of them are montenegrins. some of the members are serbs, and the only official church curious serbian orthodox church still ahead on the all . does it renews our wide china is imposing new rules that were moving celebrities from the spot life on pole, reese and the arctic in northern norway where a lack of interest in drilling for in the bar and see a case you were being called human rights green policies of norwegian election

could me in the country is finally pulling out of love with oil. and we have them for to kind of talk number one things on course to in a for us. okay. ah ah hello good to see you. it's all about the heat across the middle east, as you might expect, that some of these places are well above average. so i don't want to keep you hanging. we're talking about q $849.00 degrees or september average is $38.00. but we've got a small wind here, so that's coming out of the northwest and that's going to swirl around the sand and dust. and the days ahead, you know, for pakistan settled both for the south and also toward the north. but we may see some what weather leak in here for the hor, with a height of 35 degrees, is stumble, may catch

a thunder storm. but i think the bigger story here is those brisk winds through the black sea. come in through the boss for us and over the next few days, assemble could see those winds crank up to about 5055 kilometers per our temperatures. however, our rate where they should be for this time of the year, tropics of africa. as you might expect, we've cut her storms come in and go and pretty good batch of what weather rolling through the democratic republic of congo. on monday, we had disturbed weather for the western cape. it's now transferred to the eastern cape and durban. it's going to drop temperatures for some of us including johannesburg. but meantime, keep town your temperatures are on the rise will get you up to 23 degrees on thursday with a mix of sun in cloud that your weather update will see again soon. ah, ah, they wanted 43000000 pounds worth of weaponry. that was 60000000

pounds in commission. there was no hope of ending war, because there's always a small cobble of people for really, really good lives. in athens, we in the united states have privatized the ultimate public function. war shadow on al jazeera, investigative journalist, and government panic. they didn't have the infrastructure they needed. they promised results in 5 days. but it's been a year examining. the headline. is this another potential flashpoint for conflicts? voice is from different corner. every house here has someone who has made it to the top of ever. it's not just one, but several time program that happened to you today on algebra o,

a level again, the top stories on the algebra renews our several soldiers in guinea have declared on state television, but they've detained president delphic on day and with all the constitution they ask the country to rally behind their who attends images a presidential for one day appeared on social media from clear for the day is still in control of the country. earlier, heavy gunfire was heard near the presidential palace and the battle for control of gun sounds penned. your valley is intensify and overshadowing efforts to form a new government for fierce fighting is reported between the national resistance front on taliban forces with both claiming to have the upper hand. hundreds of thousands of farmers have.
