the similarities of cultures across the world. so no matter what i'll do to bring you the news. i'm current fast. the matter to you. how does era the top us diplomat homes difficult towards screw date is, is to june, to announce is a new prime minister. the hi, this is old to 0 line from top. and so coming up, we live in south africa where a court has put the brakes on the weeks long strike. find many bus taxi drivers in my town. tensions in the south china sea by shingles on the philippines to remove

it. the commission worship from a disputes of griggs and morocco looks we continue the incredible run at the women's 12 top. they're off against firms. in the last 16, the, the us to view the secretary of state has held toast with new. she is new military late as victoria and united states the, to our discussion and the capital in the army was frank and difficult for this. it comes as the latest of last month's co appointed, what's described as a transitional prime minister, meanwhile, military delegations from molly and became a fast. i also met with the crew leaders in the army, both countries on the military governments and have promised to defend tanisha if needed. she help are tons a has more from washington dc. so sorry, i knew the brief report is over the phone and just before she left for the apple,

she said that conversations had been a times difficult, but she wanted to make clear what was at stake if democracy was not restored. she lost the dress just of the health and welfare of the deposed president bud zoom. and she hopes that the people responsible will come back to various requests. she took his report as well. she kept emphasizing, but the door was open for further negotiations. she said, i have their own ideas talking about the qu, lead has their own ideas about how this goes forward. they don't have ideas of comport with the constitutional or that will be difficult in terms of our us as relationships. if that's the past they take new them said, but we gave them a number of options to take up on it. the us continuing to emphasize the need for dialogue, even as they have yet to officially designate this a cube in related news. the state department did confirm that already hundreds of millions of dollars of what it called a had already been suspended even before that official code designation. she

advertising which is here as russell and jordan spoke to us secretary of state and he blinking who stopped short of cooling developments, initiate the situation in the share. will the us say this is now cool. so whatever you call it, what we seen is the disruption of the constitutional order in the share. and we like many countries throughout africa and notably equal loss, which brings together many countries. and in west africa is determined that um, the constitutional order, the re established. that's what everyone's focused on right now. so from our perspective for the united states, um i've been in close contact with president bassoon, with many leaders throughout africa. and everyone is working towards the same objective, the restoration of the constitutional order,

which held strength of joins us now from sending goals, capital current. despite all of this pressure chose the community does have defined demands from the code was friends. and now that you with what can we expect from students, dies eco, was amazing as well. we understand that all diplomatic efforts i'll still being made to, to find some sort of peaceful solution to this crisis. there are reports that in the next few days between now and that expect see that go i summit on thursday that they will be representatives of the you in the a you the african union. and echo as in the i am a trying to hold discussions with those qu, leaders. now we can't confirm those reports but have chosen indication that all efforts are still being made to try and basically persuade those cooley to is to release president, muhammad bahr zoom. but of course there are huge problems in that class as well.

the questions being asked about the unity of echo, as we know that for example, nigeria, that is so pivotal to any potential military operation in the shares face problems and getting the necessary support it needs from its senate. the senate refusing a proposal by the president of nigeria who is also the chairman of echo as to put forward troops and analysts to saying, well, if not you're having problems then other countries are going to have problems too. there's also this issue as well that analysts point to that some, i feel as countries are going to be reluctant to get involved in any plan that is being so heavily endorsed by it from chicago, which is the form of colonial power. because so many of these countries have very risky of face and times of position to anything to do with fraud. so that seems to potentially to be causing problems. but the main phase of these countries still remote, and that is of course, that there is still

a lot of support seemingly in these yet for this there were concerns about regional sprayed a wide, a regional war. obviously molly, in between of 5. so said that any military intervention would be a declaration of war on themselves, and then those, all them groups that have cause such destruction and, and sarah killed so many thousands of people across the region as well. so this is very much at the forefront of these regional countries that go us countries mines. but it seems at least that still left to being made to find some sort of people of antic solution. it's going to be very interesting in the days between now and the next echo as summit as to what kind of fruit to these discussions there. okay, thank you so much for that update that is child strength and for us in synagogue capital dot com or the quote in south africa has blocked a protest by many bus taxi drivers in cape town. the pin on the strength of 5 dies and accused, the city is passing on the field laws. at least 3 people were killed when the

protest turned violent. the strike has disrupt the transport and the face of schools and health services. i made another joins us live from cape town, and so can you just tell me bit more about this court decision to block the drivers from protesting the well, i just want to point so quickly that we're at a bus depot in cape town and this is the company that is linked to that a call to or the they, they approach the quotes do have a, the strike interdicted, and that's the application that the city of taped on joined to bring an end to that strike. now some would argue that it wouldn't necessarily be effective on its own, but essentially by criminalizing the strike you would give the city, i think, more power in terms of arresting people responsible for alleged violence to be seen in recent days. and to explain just why the strike has had

a significant impact on the operations in cape town is because at least 70 to 80 percent of americans rely on public mini bus taxi's to get everywhere from school to work and to get around for their daily activities. and once the strikes started, compute commute is essentially what we're limited in their movements. now this is a depot that ordinarily would be very busy on a weekday like today, but because of being violent attacks and buses, at least 12 of them have been set to light, they are no limited operations. a to these bus services as well as the trained services. and so commute to have that very little options in terms of transportation because it rely so heavily on the mini bus taxis for now. that thing to take a does allow or least prevents taxi drive as operators from stopping buses like this from operating or blocking roads or harming commuters around the city. the

people have been killed so far and so that has been concerned around the levels of violence. okay, just liable that with the thing stands in regards to negotiations a hold of may of cape tony had said that this that you would is not prepared to continue negotiations with us and tackle the text you overnight. zation should the violence continue. they said those talks will only continue once the violent stopped. it has been a fairly quiet morning in cape town compared to the last few days and we spoke of doesn't talk a was said that they will be speaking to the city during the course of the day. and they're likely to make an announcement at some time during the course of the day, we are expecting that that has been progress made in those negotiations. we do know that there are a number of sticking points. again, the violence, but also the concessions that the taxi organizations wanted from the city. they've been complaining that they've vehicles that we don't really impounded weight.

instead, they should really be fine. but the city is saying that because we lawless the issues around simple things like stopping a traffic lights um, a remaining driving in the emergency lanes and logic issues like road where the vehicles and essentially keeping commutes a safe. and they say the tax haven't been abiding by these laws. okay, thank you so much. that is for me to mila for us. in cape town, for provisional results of a referendum in central african republic show 95 percent of us just want to change the constitution that would allow the president to stay in office longer. opposition and write scripts have rejected the results. i say the referendum is a legal bill. can we have reports that provisional referendum result was as predicted by basic government, which says it's to people's, well i'm the position you say that vote was and legal and rick your actual thoughts? he said 9 to 5 percent of the sites his were in favor of changing the constitution
