of these, these trees lies thousands of years of water load, decomposed far as a slab of locked in the coffin, 6 times the size of belgium. for now the payments are in good shape with all extraction devastating. so what does the governments of dlc that exporting the countries, oil and gas resists or an economic necessity to help is people the tub and the store is equivalent to 20 years worth of greenhouse gas emissions from united states mess with this and all that cover and just be unlocked and crucial problems still last forever. the a group of soldiers came to remove news as president behind advisor, even some power and a statement on television. the

low on the bulk of is, as i'll just say, are licensed, are also coming up close for justice in kenya, where the opposition leader and his support his whole nationwide vigils for those killed and injured treat to government process. over 40 people have died and easily greece and algeria as the mediterranean wall finds, keep for us, being homeless and communities tend to get some around the world gather involved, paid us to discuss preparations for the transatlantic slave trade. the we begin with breaking news out of news. yeah, we're a group of soldiers of a paid on national television and a claim to every move president mohammed buzzing from power. the soldiers were reading as a statement in which they also declared the closure of news as buddha and

a nationwide coffee. let's go over to mike kinda who's in washington d. c. i'm mike, i'm see, blinking has responded to this very quickly, offering unwavering support for bozza and clearly strong link strong ties between the us and veneers. yeah. leadership yes indeed. well, the secretary of state held a phone call with the president, but assume a few short while ago, according to a readout from the state department to express the us, the total support for the new sherry and president and also says that the democracy with a nation must be protected, so the secretary of state obviously closely watching events as they unfold the, there's been no reaction to the most immediate announcement by the soldiers saying that they have toppled the president will for many confirming so. but we will exceed, expect our in touch with the state department, and hopefully we'll get a formal reaction to that particular aspect of the news. but nisha very important

to the united states. earlier in the day, the national security advisor, jake sullivan, described nisha as a critical partner of the united states. mike, of course these places are really busy, so it must be a huge concern to be like the state is considering that have a vested interest in the country as well. troops, i think the, the database yes, that is correct. uh. they have to drone bases in nature. they also have about $800.00 troops, some of whom understood to be special forces, who had been training, venetia, and military. so this of great concern to the united states, also the white, a context of a military coup threatening within nature. essentially nature is the last of us and i left standing in that particular region of the world of neighboring body, but keen a fact. so have been toppled in military coups. both of these countries have expelled the french soldiers who were there and have turned to russian. bank forces

will protection. so this is something that the us knows and has been watching was great concern. and that this could possibly be the next step in what is happening in nature. hence the absolute focused set us is pointing on developments the and the great concert. and there is in the us about these developing uh, as you say, mike, of course, uh, buzzing was, had a maybe still is, was still waiting and quotes for developers to see whether indeed these claims of him being toppled are indeed true. but very much as you say at western ally in the region, one of the few still standing. it does beg the question, what it would mean, security wise for us interest and not positive africa as well. it would, has a major impact not only on us interest, but also on it's your opin allies fronds, for example, the french troops who expelled from the king of $52.00. and molly, and of course it also raises the question of, to what extent the action against the various militant groups that are operating

the area will continue with a military back government should the military incentive taken over? all of these are questions which of great concern to the united states, and of course it's your opinion allies, given the fact that the sense of insecurity within that region has been great. the fact that nisha has been one of the bowl works against the extremism, for example, also in terms of combating these elements who been operating throughout that region . so this is why initially is an absolutely critical place for not only the united states, but it seems to be an allies in west africa. providing that a barrier as it were, against the activities of militants and also against the encroachment by forces allied to russia. of all right, so for now, mike, many thanks a lot, mike had a washington dc and if you've just joined as a reminder of a breaking news that's,

that's a nature. a president mohammed bozza and according to soldiers, it appeared on the state television with national television that the claim that he has been removed from power. according to the soldiers appearing on the national television, the country's board is also place and a nationwide few in place. um, let's listen to that in announcements who has made a short while ago for the default to the c p. d. we the security defense forces have gathered at the national council for the safe guard of the nation and have decided to put an end to the regime you are familiar with. this follows the continuous deterioration of the security situation and the bad social and economic management. we reaffirm all supports to all commitments undertaken by new share estimate. okay, so that was the announcement on the national television. let's go to address who joins is on the line from boucher in nigeria. i'm it is being the monitoring these

developments. so firstly, if this is indeed the case, it would have a serious security ramifications. we know, of course, that the military in the country, the army had still remained loyal to the president. but nevertheless, it looks as if that has been a change of, of uh who is in charge. exactly. it's been, it's, it's a big surprise too many, who've been monitoring developing since we had the o as of wednesday. how even suddenly turn this way, although one can add year that according preston, by zoom, was uh what, what uh, it is a very, very critical uh tool in the hands of the military. i mean, the cool kind of simply because they will definitely negotiate that way, either out of trouble or into power. and that's exactly what happened. and i think the following the script directly from my lee book in across. so, and i do need the war, these congress,

what after the cool, they what holding the precedence to run some and then but have been negotiated, they're waiting to pile and they are exactly where they want to be. and that's what the military in new jersey did exactly. now, a lot of people deal with these with serious concern. you let me just go see that on time i missed ability and this out that we're going to move on about so many people are afraid. the beast would be, uh, the beginning of all i've tried to democracy in west africa by them have been facing and looking for that since he took power, for example, in 2001 just before he took over from, from a precedent. somebody useful, there was an attempt to push mohammed, he's out of the office in the final days of present ministration. and since then, people were worried that buzzing noise coming from an hour of minority 5 may not enjoy the power or may not enjoy the support of the popular military. and the

single sign is dominated by another type for a very, very long period of time. that's why we what we seen today, and i wonder if you can talk us through again, the choreography of what has happened over the course of the day because things have moved very quickly when news passed broke. that's present. bosley had been, i've been forced to remain in this presidential pilot, still could see the day i it brings repeatedly presidential god in. in the presidents, he held bustle uh english living quarters, along with his family and told them that it's a very critical move, holding by them. and they know if the call failed, they can negotiate their way out of trouble. but if they hold, but somebody can also negotiate their way into office for president, how many use of one could intervene, try to negotiate a peaceful and to the crisis. unfortunately, did not happen because of the can union european union. united states have many

other international organizations and countries have been convened, tried to intervene, talking talk, saying that they will not accept unconstitutional removal of bust him from power. but this would be the make. any difference after the failure of negotiations led by him? how many use of the echoes led by which, who is a kind of chairman of equity, sent a delegation on the, the president opinion of public force on his way to the army. and we hear that that delegation did not arrive there, although i didn't get to get you and how it was earlier in the country. they tried to negotiate, unfortunately, it did not happen. so as loyal to the president wanted to take back power and push the push it out of the presidential palace and that did not happen the most precious area in the day. uh so do you next to the street and they were trying to much on to the presidential palace when the sold?

yes, the cool you this also this noise put loyalty loyal to the corpus fired shots in the to scatter them. so i do have the chronology of events that happened today and from then negotiations called locks and uh, they, they right now we don't even know why and how many bedrooms describe the changes. are they close to the landlord? is it a apple? it's an org and they don't any and getting it makes it the statement about the future all the way in about to the moment that so yeah, so, so it looks really unclear the but i mean, what more do we know about the those who, who straight to the crew, particularly general law to johnny, he is the head of the presidential god. we know that he had previously asked positive him to resign in the past something that bozarth refused. do we have any more details about his role in all of this? but basically he's been in in the ship for that long time. some say has been cold

and that was for cooking. yes. and um, how much do you feel if i know personally mohammed by so, but there was also reports that bedroom wanted to remove him from that position. and that led to the disagreement that looked like a disagreement. and probably the engine at the cool that one. so on wednesday morning, so he's been there for a long time, ease uh, the presidential guard, actually loyal to him. and then everything collapsed today just by pressed by the military to use force to take back power or to change them out of the presidential fathers. but holding fuzzy was critical for them simply because they know any attack from the presidential uh, from low improves will probably result into unforeseen and losses on the part of the government. so for him, it's an important decision to always buy. so where do we say that being

any possibility of negotiation? so of course negotiations we know was started, they appear to have failed. we know the leadership of the need. we're hoping to get involved in the, in reducing tensions. is there a way of negotiating around the stand off? do we think or it's, it's it's, it's difficult to go say this now simply because if you look at the history, of course, in recent past in west africa, especially in the sales, we're talking about molly gimme and looking affonso negotiations failed as simply because they have been in bold and uh, the reason is the regional pilots or regional coatings like economic community to course of course, applicant union. i've only been poking topic no action. remember, they've been sold me to move to sanction requita is in my lean book to the parcel and guinea. however, there is no time to go. no. oh, quick step to what you can with that with the backend quote. and that's in bold in

the military in those countries. and with the warning signs, actually, the lack of action on the part of organizations will i be african union? the equis was in going to many trees in other parts of west africa to take over power in those countries. and that's what we're seeing here. the science we media have been there for from, for a very long time since because the money because they'd been a few other incidents in english for example, touching the democratic process there. however, everything went quiet until they've been so for wednesday or i to i'm it so for now many things about me the address in boucher in nigeria as okay well news yeah. faces many challenges, including widespread poverty and the tax by um groups. i'll call you to affiliates i so and bulk of around a waging war to control this a hell does it region that's for hundreds of files and this to flee that homes

close to 4 and a half 1000000 people require humanitarian assistance around 5000000 of dishes 26000000 population doesn't have enough to eat. to west africa nation host, west and ministry basis, where u. s. military, drones and french personnel operate is there is also an important transit route from migraines, from south of this. all right, does it have a north towards europe and the mediterranean sea? okay, well that's bringing with him lawrence. he's a professor of political science at the american university, and he is a former us diplomats in charge of sale, regional security. he joins us from washington. d c, thank you very much for your time. obviously, this is a very fast moving story. but as far as where, where our claims president positive has been removed, if indeed that is the case. what does that mean for the democrats of the can you elected leader and a self proclaimed friends of the you and the united states? it means they have their work cut out for them to try to as your last guest said

correctly, uh, negotiate back against what happened. um, one of the moving pieces, which is particularly interesting, is that the army had mobilized defense of the president around the tv stations. so the fact that this statement came out from the tv station, yeah, means that something happened around the tv station. i don't know if the military, you know, was defeated or just move, decide avoiding conflict or exciting now with the presidential guard, but it's the presidential guards job to protect the president. that when you know there might be a military coup. and in this case, it was the presidential guard but stopped the guard again. so it's pretty hard, it's pretty easy for the guard itself to turn on the president. and you know what comes next? this is anybody guess. if i can correct. one thing, michael. hannah said, you know, although the us relationship with molly and bertina have, has soured after multiple cruise. the us maintains strong or,

or somewhat strong security relationships with 10 or 12 countries in the region. you know, more tedious, senegal chat, both sides in libya and both sides incident agents. you know, it's unusual jury. so yeah, there's a whole bunch of countries around that a, don't want this to happen, right. and be a, you know, that i will work with united states that through the various mechanisms a weaker was us and others to try to get things back on track. it's very hard to do as we're seeing in sudan right now and other conflicts, but there will be an efforts to do exactly what the driest your last guest said, which is allow these guys a way to negotiate themselves out of a situation where they're not being backed by the army, which is stronger than the presidential guard. right. well, it, well focusing on that because there's a curious part of the puzzle at the moment as a waiting for more information given that the, the army had remained loyal to the present, the presidential. god clearly had decided that so they wanted him removed. i'm

this, this rate is the prospect now for potential struggle between those 2. um 4 things that i know it's on clearance yet whether one side has joined with the other. but give us a sense of what we're dealing with in terms of these 2 forces in the country. well, there's definitely a possibility here of the army against army fighting, like we saw him today in which can spill into a civil war. ready can be protracted, there's the risk here of for an elements coming in the saw and to dan, and they'll be another theaters, you know, when things are falling apart. so there's, there's many problems here. when it struck me here is i can't remember, i know the situation where there's a coup attempt in the country and you already have an equal watch delegation coming in all the strong statements for all the outside parties. you know, with except swiftness and a former president coming and trying to negotiate all within a matter hours. and that bodes well like if you remember other clues. it's something days and weeks before these international parties get organized, suddenly attempts to begin to mediate think about this. again conflict where it's,

you know, it's weeks before we get things going and did the and, and all that just for humanitarian quarters. but in this case, literally within hours we have a mass of international mobilization, but to, you know, 5 to reverse the process that's going on. so that swiftness itself may save the day here. yeah, very interesting continue. and of course the us, the u. k. and a number of other governments have issued incredibly strong statements condemning this attempt to cable this. now possible k want security guarantees, the have those countries being able to offer news. yeah. ahead of what the west thing today as well, there's a dense security relationship because most of what was going on in molly was transferred over to niger except for the us drone base, which was the regional thing that's been there for some time. but it's really curious, but in the television statement that you just broadcast, they said they're going to maintain all existing relationships, which is a way for the purchase,

the beginning of the computers to say we're not going to go the way of molly and, and bertina and take out the french and bring it in, gartner, group, and all that. we are going to honor the existing relationships. that means international relationships. so they're basically saying we americans and french, if you, if you go with us, things won't be as bad as you think. now, you know, who knows what will happen in the troops in the putting, but whatever happens, they've put the cards on the table, but they don't want to change anything and managers international relationships, which i found that stark in that statement. now this is a causal happening while a list of african leaders of gathers in st. petersburg and russia of adults with pollution. although the list of leaders given the one ukraine is currently in the around 17, out of 54 countries. notably positive was one of the leaders not planning to attend . how much of what we're seeing in the chat, do you think is part of why the tension between russia and the west of influence and this part of african it's usually important,

but i think the way to see it right now. and this is to have something to say a year ago is that russia power and influence isn't sold. and all the countries, you know, lead by, say, algeria another step or very much part of the former non aligned global south south sort of the anti western group that was depending on relationships in russia, in china, and sort of backing them in their, near a broad complex supervision complex, have ag on their face right now, and they're starting to realize that, you know, bedding on russia and bedding or china as a field is quite the result. so mean china is dissing that bested by 55 percent in africa last year to the previous years. and. and so there's a, there's a realignment going on and, and visit opportunities here for the americans and your kids, and others to say, hey, we're your long standing partners. we've been there for in a, in a much more sustained way over the years. and we'd like to come back in and work with you on solving these problems. you know, a blinking was just and niger 4 months ago promising

a $150000000.00 of new way to niger in the region. you know, stepping up where there was a lack of russian and chinese interest and certainly the rashid green deal on grain falling apart, which feeds this part of the world is very serious to. so think of it as a number of stressors coming for the black sea that africa particularly hard. and then now what is the west going to do about it? now that is a very big question. what is the west going to do about that? so william laurence press, the political science of the american university. many thanks for joining us. and we'll get through with that of the revenues vigils helping out in kenya for people killed and injured during anti government. protests opposition lead a violent didn't get his dismiss. present router's offer,

a relative. george of gamble was short in one of the most violent confrontation between the security forces and protest. as soon as skilled tomb side, i feel so much pain. his death was so unexpected. i had my son on thursday morning and then he was gone. i'm still in shock. i'll never see him again. opposition date is in the copy to and i wrote the also have details. they accuse the government of asked nick profile an ordering parties to use excessive force on protest as the interior ministry, a q, some politicians of inciting riots in what the government calls economic sabotage. president william rudo says he's ready to meet with opposition either, right? i would think, but see me that talks how fields before i don't believe the city is a tone. this is douglas big. one side is

it serves him. he talks very nice. this is oh, i'm ready for the ducks. and the time time is people are saying that only so think of this group, we just want to have a hunch shape so that they can be able to share the kick back into the smoothness. say we just want on says coffee. so you all to 0 to sweet western, can you? okay, let's go to greece now where raging well fine, so force thousands of people to evacuate. fuller fights is a still battling on several fronts to contain the flames destroying factories and farmed land in central greece. so 4 or 5 people have died and tens of thousands have had to leave the homes and abandon the holidays on the island of rhodes. more than 20000 phone taurus and locals are being evacuated for. if lee is one of the hottest countries by extreme ease and is also passing wall 5 in the south of the

t and the quality of this record. what's going happen is that we're going to have to come out of this meeting with a shared understanding of where and how to go from here in the collaborative way. rather than in edison jointed front and not, not as it has been before that these with the african union and working together with cutting. it's clear that when it comes to reparations, there is no one size fits all solution for making things right. there isn't even a single definition for the term, reparations. but one thing that we are hearing overwhelmingly, from human rights advocates, is that the time is right for turning this topic into a global conversation. he was actually in the states and the blinking is in new zealand. he's in australia after visiting tonga, where america is pushing to increase his instruments in the pacific. and wellington, he's meeting officials to discuss further in cooperation as well as to attend
