4:41 pm
release. let's say the cross live node, see darker in neighboring senegal, where we can speak to nicholas hark, who is following their story for us at mc. just how significant is this recent developments. it is quite significant given the, the past and the turbulent political past that giddy has gone through. we saw amendment edenbrook, this colonel, this former french legionnaire wearing sunglasses inside the integration room and wearing white gloves, holding not the constitution or a religious book. but the charter of transition that he wrote himself swearing that there will be free and fair elections. he made a series of pledges from trying to write a new constitution, a create national reconciliation and call to the end of impunity. what's interesting here is the fact that he didn't use the constitution, which he said, you know, which he said earlier before this inauguration that was completely void that was
4:42 pm
abused by the former leader alpha com de alpha convey who continues to be in house arrest to watch this in integration on television. and in this, in this ceremony, there were members of his political party that were present members of civil society. absence of course, were the international leaders and the west african body echoes who have given him 6 months to do this. very ambitious thing of writing and you contingent, a holding free and fair elections. it doesn't seem that he hasn't set out a time frame of when he will organize these elections. but what was clear is in, in, in his address he said the he will not be a candidate to any election, but his ambition is not to cling on to power. what he's trying to do is break from the past, both in terms of who he is, which is a young colonel who is 40 years old, stepping into the shoes of, of a president, a former president of the country who has 85 years old, who claimed on to power,
4:43 pm
tweak the constitution and was accused of corruption. he also addressed the international community, saying that he will honor the pledges made by a guineas specifically on the mining sector. get is a huge exporter of box site and aluminum. a 3rd of china's aluminum comes from guinea, so he's tried to reassure the international committee, but as well as try to reassure people domestically that he's not here to cling on to power. now this swearing in ceremony just a happened just a day before the, the, the 60th anniversary of independence of guinea from france. and, and just before this inauguration, just a few days ago, he visited a site where a 400 people are buried. people that were massacred in the stadium a couple of years ago and massacre that was orchestrated by a former qu, leader. and so he's really trying to break away from this image that he is someone from the military just trying to hold on to power. but he's here to try to,
4:44 pm
to bring the aspirations of the people he, he quoted, even jerry rawlings earlier a former gun and president who he, he himself had organized elections. saying that if the people are crushed by their lease, it is up to the army to give the people their freedom. and that's very much what mama de dubois is trying to do an ambitious plan. but let's see what he comes up with next. and how he or whether or not he will announce that a you prime minister and you prime minister and a and a government of transition will be announced in the days to come hollow. ok. nicholas hawk that lie for us in duck are nic. thank you. united states, mexico are working together to bring life back to the deserts waters being diverted, to restore wet fans and forests along the colorado river johnson, one o rappin, the reports the colorado river delta in the baja california desert. for decades waterless has been its defining characteristic until
4:45 pm
a groundbreaking agreement between the us and mexico was signed in 2012, allowing water to flow in parts back into the delta seats is important them as an adult, as well. not only got, it's important to mentioned that this acord is unique in the world in which 2 countries the united states and mexico decide to transfer volumes of was her from one country to the other, exclusively for the benefit of the environment. i meant that by when the results of what happened when water was returned to the region, speak for themselves. he went gabriella gonzalez, a scientist with the. so nora institute says, since conservation efforts began, hundreds of acres of forest and wetlands have been restored. it's a long process, and that for the last 10 years we have an registered at change from 50 bread species and the belt that in 10 years after we have more than 360 birds species along the river from the river. all the way to the estuary where the rubber meets
4:46 pm
the sea. and here specifically, like when i get on that we have registered more than a 162 bird species. there's also footage now suggesting wild cats including links is or thriving along with other endangered species like beavers, which had all but disappeared when water levels were critical. the viability of this renewed habitat, however, ultimately depends on a commitment from us and mexican partners to meet the demand for water. environmentalists admit that they're simply not enough water for the colorado river to flow freely all the way to the sea. but restoration projects like planting trees and maintaining wetlands like this one are delivering positive results for the regions ecosystems. the reason why the delta dried up dates back to another agreement, signed in 1944 back then the u. s. in mexico established exactly how much water each country would receive from the river and for what purpose? not leaving a drop for the environment. main can say,
4:47 pm
gabriella says that while it was public policy that led to the loss of a flowing river, it can also be public policy that brings it back to life in this place, like when i get and there are this project started as his dream and 20 years later it's happening. so i can't imagine a flowing river. i can't imagine healthier ecosystems and i can imagine the river meeting with the ocean once again from may to october of this year. more than 43000000000 cubic meters of water will flow into the colorado delta, ensuring at least for now, the continued health of this natural environment. manuel did up a low al jazeera, the colorado river delta cutter is preparing to hold its 1st legislative elections . on saturday, voters will choose 30 of the 45 member sure cancel the body dates back to 972 fonts until 9 was fully appointed by cutters. emir jamal,
