boris. failure to respond effectively to violence by armed groups in the country or could bore his whereabouts aren't clear. but earlier the ruling party said he had survived an assassination attempt. several armored vehicles from the presidential fleet, stained with blood and riddled with bullets, were seen near his residence on monday morning for. and there have been celebrations on the streets of the capital one to do go with some civilian protesters rallying to support the military intervention. anger of the government had been growing over the worsening security situation with demonstrations calling for the president to resign. hello, we're here today to support our army. that decided to save our lives were here today, tomorrow of the delta tomorrow we support our army. we have been protesting for 3 days, have been 7 years since president rock to pass. a lot of blood has been shed off

akin, a faster is suffering. no, i am not a politician. i'm a sympathizer with civil society. we do not take a position at audio, we want soldiers to take back control of the country. well, henry wilkins during his life now on the phone from work. i do go l v c, a breaking news situation that we've just heard. the army has announced that a seize control of the country. what more do we know henry is still not information at the moment. we 3 of each be know you that the former president block boy is no longer president of the government have been to hold for the go, you know, the, the president, 8th, at the stage. so we think we're still very much up in the air at the moment. and what is the actual situation in wagon do go i itself, when it comes to security, for example. yes, i mean, since this morning there's been a very heavy military presence on the, on the street. the national board cast teepee today treat you to me as to

taking the thing apart and on the vehicle in the gateway and installed a coffee outside the building as well. so, i mean, obviously this isn't the kind of thing normally see on the, on a monday morning in, in my get so you can, but yeah, compared to yesterday when the need to need started and that was firing happening at various military bases across the city today we had no gunfire, a tool, so really the military now seem to be confident, be in control and all the while there seems to be confusion as to where the i guess . now the former president rocha born is and we are seeing pictures. now, of course of that assassination attempt that he suffered. yes, exactly. so it's still very pe his to where exactly the president is

a best estimate. the moment is that he's been in the military camp camp. mom is all know which is where the need to me started in the, in the city yesterday, but in the gates, survive an assassination attempt, according to a statement released by the former voting party earlier today. and henry, i mean, this may be a difficult to answer, but how much support do you sense the military actually has among the population for this move? they've made quite a lot. i mean, i think there is a lot of fatigue with the security featuring situation because it's been a war for 6 years. now. we've great me to say this, this doesn't just not the end. the president boy has been marked the end of the period in between fast history where it's actually has democracy. although the

people, the people who have the support a democratic nation, states have been turning out onto the street in the same i as people sharing with the military. and there are many people who will be disappointed and became tonight after 6 years, an attempt to democracy has failed. henry wilkins with the latest air from the capital one to do a henry for the moment. thank you. well, let's talk more about the developments in booking of fossil without serious nicholas hoc was live at for us in dock. rather eventful will not just 24 hours, but obviously in the past hour, we have as seen, the army announced it has seized control of the country, i guess perhaps that move not a particular surprised people who've been watching developments

as well. all a people surprise, i mean, it seems to be perhaps surprising for many to see so many people celebrating what, what appears to be the end of an era of democracy in burkina faso in the beginning of a military coup. but that just reflects the lack of trust that people have in democratic institutions, specifically in countries in west africa. and we've seen a wave of military takeovers from unpopular yet elected democratically elected president's in the region from guinea. then molly, we saw it in chad in sudan, and now burkina faso. so why is that? well, it amongst many people, the basic necessities are not met by the state. in the case of burkina faso, just a few numbers, 3500000 people in urgent need of humanitarian. assistant. 1.5000000 people displaced, 2000 killed in those 1500000 people displaced are not just people. barbara. they're

mostly children, teenagers, and this is all contributing to the fact that this at toppling of this leader is so popular, at least on the sheets of walker do for now. barbara alley. i mean, he following on to, from what you've been saying, and what reaction has there been of any is so far from neighboring states, other african states to the, to the developments in book in a fossil well, there's been condemnation from the west african brock echo us a, there's have been statements made by the e u condemnation by the u. n. they've been asking for the military to return back to their barracks. they want to ensure that all comma cowboy is a, is as freed and is safe. remember, hoc mcevoy is also the representative of you mo, draw which is the regional economic body in the area. but still,

the west african body echoes has put in sanctions and neighboring molly where there has been a military takeover and there's talks of section 2 in guinea. and yet, it seems that among many people that they feel that this, this group of heads of states have only their own interest at stake. there is at heart of what we're seeing right now in burkina faso, a generational shift between all leaders trying to represent young people and you're seeing and, and a lot of these coups, you're seeing people that are in the ranks of kernel people that are in the age of their thirty's, taking over power from people who are in their sixties in the seventy's. remember, this is an era where there's quite a young population. so this is all contributing to what the situation that the situation that we're seeing right now. but add to that, the complex situation of these arm groups that are gaining ground. i'm a referred to him as iso and an al qaeda. this is an area where the

armies in the region are reliant on france, the former colonial power, the un peacekeeping mission, and molly, and also the joint military, you and special forces to cuba. now all of these forces this, this dependency on, on these, on these forces. well, that will all be put into question with the e u condemning the situation right now. and also we've seen also the stepping up of russia. a russian fighters are now involved in molly much to the ire of friends in the west that see this with suspicion. what will the new government or the new leadership in brick enough? ah, so do, will they reach out to the russians now for help and steer away from the french? remember, this qu happened under the nose of, of the french that have a military base in walk, a do the special forces. there's the saber operation. there was, in fact, a french soldier wounded just last week. so there's

a lot at stake in seeing this instability in burkina faso in terms of the stability of the region. barbara nicholas huck with that analysis for us alive indicator nicholas for the moment. thank you. aah! nato is putting its forces on standby and bringing in more ships and fighter jets to reinforce eastern europe in anticipation of a russian invasion of ukraine. nato secretary general yan stop hamburg said that given the build up of an estimated 100000 russian troops near ukraine's border, the alliance is prepared to take all necessary measures to protect and defend all allies. european foreign minister is meeting in brussels, demanded russia, diffuse tensions, or face was described as massive consequences and severe costs. but russia has

remained that defy and continuing to deny it has plans to invade and accusing nato and the you are fueling hysteria and ask it, escalating tensions. a kremlin spokesman accused the west of releasing information that was laced with lies. natasha. butler begins our coverage as western powers step on diplomatic efforts to diffuse tensions with moscow over ukraine. european union, foreign ministers, met in brussels. of the talks joined by the u. s. secretary of state by video cool . the eas, top diplomat said that should to russia invade ukraine. the blog could impose sanctions, although he refused to give more detail. we had reaffirm our full and unquestionable support to ukraine, and that any military aggression against ukraine will have, should use consequences. a massive crush for the perpetrator. earlier the head of the you commission announced an emergency financial package to help kiev. i am

announcing a new financial assistance package to the country made both of emergency loans and grants. first of all, the commission proposes an emergency macro financial assistance package of 1200000000 euros. this package will help ukraine now to address it's financing needs due to the conflict. meanwhile, the head of nato said the alliance would reinforces deployments in eastern europe, with troops, ships, and fighter jets, a response said yen stall to berg to the deteriorating security situation. we are considering to further enhance or persons in east, on part with arms. this could include the appointment of additional natal battle groups. the move by nato has angered the kremlin. it denies accusations by western

powers that it is planning an attack kremlin spokesperson. dmitri pet scoff, said me, the info, and we are seeing statements from the north atlantic alliance about more troops, pushing forces and assets on to the eastern flank. it is all causing tensions to rise. i'd like to point out, it is low because of what we russia are doing. it's all happening because of what nato at the united states are doing and the information they are spreading. in care of the u. s. and u. k began the withdrawal of some diplomats families and non essential workers from the city, although the embassies will remain open. the reduction of empathy staff. another sign though without a diplomatic break through the threat of conflict looms large, natasha butler al jazeera. still to come in this half hour sudanese security forces fire live rounds and tear gas at the latest protests against military rule, killing 3 people and the italy's presidential deadlock. why the vote on the head of

state could cause a government to fold? ah, for the 2nd time in about 30 years, the see resort city of antalya in turkey may see since now. hello everyone. here's the details right now there's that weather maker given this snow across southern turkey, rain for cyprus, and also some snow for syria. so how much can we expect for on tele, i think on the low end, 2 centimeters on the high end, 5 centimeters and look at your temperature is going to continue to fall off subs 0 as we get later into the week. central europe looking pretty calm, but we have a shield of snow across the eastern areas of poland into western ukraine, knocking on the door of kiev on tuesday, showers rolling across scotland in the forecast for you, and we've got

a steady stream of rain and snow for western norway, the avalanche risk dare, is heightened with that rain falling on top of the snow showers across the street of gibraltar. also unsettled toward the southeast corner of spain and that weather maker. given this snow for greece and turkey were talking about athens mika knows this stumble upon tale. that strapping down white and windy conditions across libya and tropical cyclone on doing damage into moose and b, it's going to move interest and bob way and eventually zambia. both of those countries have seen flooding big drop in temperatures for cape town over the weekend. you are 45 and now 25 on tuesday sea later the a journey of personal discovery. my great grandfather, he was a slave of li properties, al jazeera james gannon, explored your family's legacy of slave ownership. you know, like my family's status and well has benefited from your choice to people and

standby and sending ships and fighter dreads to bolster europe's eastern defences. over fears that russia will invade that ukraine. and in the next hour you as president, joe biden is due to disgust ukraine in a video call with european leaders health care. more now from alan fisher in washington, dc. i mean, do we have any indication of what, specifically the u. s. president is going to be talking about with the leaders. while we're doing more than 40 minutes, we'll be moving down from the oval office into the situation room. there will be a secure video conference with a number of european leaders, including the german chancellor, the french president at the british prime minister. the head of nato, also on the call will be the italian prime minister and the president of poland. we suspect what they are going to talk about is the reports that have been circulating around washington for the last 24 hours or so that joe biden is keen to move. some troops towards eastern europe, nor exactly in to ukraine,

that would be seen as inflammatory, but to countries where they've been based before. so we're talking about the likes of romania and poland and possibly even the baltics. those countries of course, remedy and polling, particularly right on the border with ukraine. it's a plan that was drawn up by lloyd austin, who is the defense secretary. he briefed joe biden when he was at camp david over the weekend, saying these were the options that were available to him. obviously, the united states very keen to sure some strength because they are concerned about increasing reports that russia is considering an invasion of ukraine. and this is your biden's way of seeing that that will not be tolerated. they're also going to talk about sanctions on this call. with the european leaders, remember joe biden said that the europeans were right behind on with the idea that if, where if the russians where to cross the border at any point there would be severe and immediate sanctions. and that's something he believes that the russians don't

want to risk at this point. also, over the weekend, we heard that the u. s. was advising americans to move out of ukraine. they did that a few weeks ago, but know they are pulling non essential embassy staff out of ukraine. they want to make sure that they can get home. certainly there is a feeling that there is increasing tension here. but jen sachi speaking in the white house news conference just a short time ago. so the idea of moving troops to the area isn't new. the put troops in these countries for years. so not something that the russian should be threatened to vote. not quite sure that moscow will see it the same way. allan fisher, with the latest on that developing story are from washington d. c. thank you. at least 3 people have been killed in the latest protests against military rulings. so then the central committee of sudanese doctors says that they were shot dead by security forces who fired that live rounds and tear gas. the group says more protests were injured in the capital cartoon when the neighboring

city of on demand or then 70 civilians have died and thousands have been injured in demonstrations since the military takeover. back in october, hippa morgan was out with protest. her is in her torment, it's been 3 months since the military took over power in sudan, dissolving a 2 year transitional government. and since then, the protest against that take over has been ongoing. people have been taken to the streets, nearly daily to boys their anger, against the military takeover and against the army being in control and being involved into dance politics. they have been demanding that the military handled power to civilian government and return to their barracks. now, since that take over sudan, camilla politics has been in disarray. political parties are divided, some have shown support for the takeover saying that it was necessary while others have condemned that saying that the military has a stage, a coup and disrupted

a democracy. democratic transition that was underway now protested are making their way once again to the presidential palace. the last time they tried that was a week ago and security forces use tear gas and live ammunition to stop them from reaching their destination. at least 7 protesters were killed in the previous protest to the presidential palace. but that has not deter it, protested. will continue to take to the street. at least 72 people have been killed . and 2nd, bruce asked them to take over 3 months ago. more than 2000 have been injured. but despite the use of force by security for safety, which though you, when says has been excessive and brutal, people continue to void their anger against the takeover. they say that they will not stop until the military handle the power to complete civilian government and returned to the barracks. the un has been trying to mediate and bridge the gap

between the political parties and protesters and the military throne initiative that it says it's hopeful and so dance political crisis, but until then protested, they will continue to take to the street to void their anger against the military and continued demanding a complete civilian room. the united arab emirates as launched air strikes at who the targets in yemen hours am to after intercepting ballistic missiles fired at them by the who the rebels de brief from the missiles fell over abu dhabi, but no one was injured. it was the 2nd attack in a week targeting the m marashi capital. last monday, 3 people were killed in a, who's a drone strike about who the spokesman is warning or further attacks on the you a all you go are dealing was a lot in response to the belligerent escalation by saudi arabia and the u. e. and there are crimes against our beloved people, the missiles and drone units of our armed forces carried out to successful large military operations. job, you know, our armed forces stretched its full preparedness to widen the scope of its

operation in the coming period of time. and to meet escalations with further escalations, our armed forces renewed warning to the foreign companies. investors within the u. e to leave as the u. e is declared an unsafe country and the target of our future operations, so long as it's belligerents and siege against him and is not halted. an 18 year old gun man has opened fire during a university lecturing germany, killing one person. when he say another 3 people were wounded in the shooting at heidelberg university, which is south of frankfort, that gunman then killed himself. former roman catholic po, been in think the 16th has admitted giving a false statement to a child, sex abuse inquiry. he says he mistakenly told investigators in germany that he wasn't at a meeting in 1080 hell to discuss a priest who had sexually abused children. it was held while been in the 16th was

archbishop of munich. an inquiry by german lawyers concluded that benedict knew about peter fall, priests in 4 cases, but failed to act. he's accused of allowing priests to continue carrying out pastoral duties despite allegations of abuse. dominic cane has more from berlin. the central fact that emerges from pages and pages and pages of evidence given by the former pope just less than 6 weeks ago to this inquiry is he says repeatedly that if he can't remember a meeting take taking place and it didn't take place well to day through a spokesman, he has said actually what he did was mislead the inquiry, not through bad faith, but by bad editing of this particular document. and he has now admitted that on one particular occasion, he was present when the case of a specific priest who would go on to be convicted of child sex abuse. he was

present at the time. and the allegation is that he did not do enough to act against this specific priest. man. the former pope has said in his, in the regional evidence. he said, well, if i didn't remember it, i wasn't there because i wasn't there. i couldn't have known what happened. well, now these specific investigators have said you were there. it follows therefore, that it is likely that you knew what happened. the leader as of italy's 3 main political parties have been meeting in rome and an effort to break a deadlock over who will be the country's next president. parliament has been voting on the new head of state, but all the main part he said that their members cast blanket ballots. current prime minister medea their id has indicated that he wants the job of president, which has a 7 year term. but there are concerns that his departure, his prime minister could put the fragile governing coalition in doubt. aladdin rainy is following events for a syndrome or will voting has just concluded a for

a day. but i guess if most people cast a blank ballot, we're no closer to finding out who the new president is going to be. indeed, barbara, we've been speaking the parliamentarians throughout the day. they've all said that bit voting and blank. and in fact, the count is taking place right now, and right now the majority shows of those. they've counted that, that is the case that these are largely blank votes. and one parliamentarian who came out and spoke to us, one minister parliament said the reason they're voting in blank isn't really a protest, so to speak for us to show that they haven't reached a consensus candidate. and that this is a way to perhaps not burn or put a candidate up that may not pass another round. they don't want to put someone's name out there who may show them to not have enough popularity to sub simply when enough votes and rounds down the road. because this is expected to go on for several days. according to the time constitution,

you need 2 thirds majority in the 1st 3 rounds. barbara, if you are going to win this election. and this is more than a 1000 votes by parliamentarians and regional delegations, regional representations, but after the 3rd round, the 4th round and subsequent rounds, a simple majority will mean someone has won the presidency. it's very normal here. this goes on for many days. it's typical only a couple times and all the time the history of italy's history has a present one in the 1st round. so we're not really seeing any thing unexpected today. but what we are seeing is this constant debate going on behind the scenes. and this is even more so because in the lead up to the election, former prime minister, silvio berlusconi who had said he was running for president, pulled out just 2 days before this though. and that kind of opened this up a bit. but still, of course, the favorite candid by many is mighty draggy, the prime minister. but the largest block of the center, right, coalition, right wing parties in parliament have said they don't really want him to become the

president. they see him staying in his role as prime minister, and that's exactly what's at the heart of this, isn't it adam, that if mighty, that argued becomes president, then you are going to have a vacancy for the role of prime minister. and it's interesting that actually a lot of the parties not really seem to want that exactly because 2 reasons. one is that he's overseeing this huge recovery effort during, amid the pandemic to try to get italy out of what's been more than a decade of economic stagnation. and he's seen as a steady hand to do that, but another reason people are worried if he leaves, they don't have a good person putting in place. but also many people don't want the government to fall, frankly, because they want to protect their jobs. if he offends to the presidency, he's no longer prime minister creating instability. that means the government could fall new elections may take place. a lot of people who serve in this parliament are

worried. that means the lose their job. they won't win another election and they'll lose it before they get their pension. so there's a lot of different forces at play in this election. it's not just about the ceremonial role of head of state. it's all about people's job on the line and what's the future look like for italy as it comes out of the pandemic right now that i get a good job of rebuilding the economy and there's this fear. if someone else were to be the premier, they may not do just as good a job. barbara. i'm rainy with the latest from rome. adam, thank you. i now reminder of the top stories on al jazeera, looking at fast as army says, it's seized control of the country. a group of soldiers has appeared on stay t v, saying they've asked that the president to dissolve the government and national assembly suspended the constitution. and close that the boarders president rocha bore, his whereabouts are currently unknown. his party.
