leaders in the army. now they're back in nigeria. what are the next steps as well right now, they are meeting with an i did and president which as the economic community of west africa space. of course they are going to brief him about what transpired between them and the ministry government in his yes. now we understand that the 1st successful delegation, which was led by the former central bank drop it off, and i didn't for my image of kind of the military leaders. and is there a get some conditions before any negotiations could take place based because asians or these conditions include the restoration of electricity supplies from nigeria and i'd go to supplies most of the electricity being consumed. and as you go to public, the lifting of sanctions under opening of board voters to allow the flow of goods, food items, and medicines continues. you probably want this on this particular delegation. we're not sure whether or not those conditions were also reiterated by the ministry june to ensure the public or not. but clearly the president of nigeria, we've just,
2:05 pm
the echoes would be watching with a very, very reserved sort of near to whatever is happening simply because of the new developments. and is that when where mr. busby force been taught always been some painting. the cost for his release is suddenly now attributable uh, suspects in the general public. so it's part of the company, just like we said, it was the father completed any future negotiations, which in the middle of to june to of course i'll read. thank you very much for your reporting. you're currently in kept seen it. that's in northern nigeria, near the border with these here. thank you. and there's been several military coups in the, in west africa, in recent years that have created political instability. here's a very brief recent history. last september, burkina faso is military leader abraham troy removed his breed, assessor accusing him of not doing enough to tackle arm groups. it was a nation 2nd cool in a year. members of molly's army now that were led by vice president a cd going to carried out to cool in april 2021. it was the 3rd military take over
2:06 pm
there in 10 years. and in guinea, the armed forces led by monday to boy, carried out the crew that removed president alpha con day from office and september 2021. while earlier i spoke to alexi, of course year um, and he was the managing editor of semen for africa. you told me that the wrote history cool leaders in the region have very rarely handed back power unless they were forced to do so. if you go back to 2015 in between and by. so there was an instance when clearly decided by power. so really specific set of circumstances, in that case there was an interim government and uh, the presidential called the chains are very similar to this and they contain them and they took power. but not last at about a week. it's failed because of 2 key issues. there was a popular anger anonymous to, towards the who's behind the crew says to our pricing. and then there's one is that
2:07 pm
there was a schism within the army. so ultimately that never took hold outside what to do. good. and so what happened was those behind the crew eventually stood down because they became encircled by the rest of the army. you told them you're going to have to back down. so typically, no, we don't see what's happening on that situation between the bus. so was really that was considered right. and that was something you don't see happen often. here we've seen valleys where tens of thousands of people seem to be supporting. there's somebody, there is at least some support. we've seen that. and then there's one is that there's clearly anti french sentiment which um the jump, the latest is a really pushed. i'm a regional dot waiver. oh, because a fucking one is that we haven't seen the same signs of a schism within the army because that's all like i didn't pertain to pass on. there was a split wherever she and what we've seen is the presidential called and the army have been working together. there is melting concerned among west african states that if
2:08 pm
a military intervention against 2 leaders in this year were to happen, it might worse than in already difficult humanitarian and security situation in this a hell or region that struggles against arm groups like iso and al qaeda charles transferred reports from z, a b, a near the gunner burkina faso border. these women and children, or a tiny fraction of the more than 5000000 people, the u. n says a flight attacks, but all groups across the sale region of west africa, emotion years. they show through in this refugee receptions can need a border between government. i'm looking at sponsor let me say escaped from the village and became a fencer with a 7 children. she describes that day in my mom. well, that's up to know we were on the farm when the shooting starts us about we tried to run to the village, but the shooting was too intense. as we ran we so many dead people. we were very

2:10 pm
countries like going to and others right. the way across the hell region. the forward you say they all preparing for the worst. we're working this reason working to see what's going to happen. we, we, we hope god doesn't get where someone has bought us. so some people predict, but we are, we're on the lookouts and we're talking to all the necessary dentistry people of industry agencies and groups of kills thousands of people across the whole region in recent years. echo says the security situation of a key to 5. so and molly deteriorated in the 1st 6 months of this year and that was before to india. a neighboring countries already struggling to code a brace to potentially thousands more people fleeing across borders for their lives . charles profit alger 0 is gone at the keen, offensive border. and his speech marking army de sedans, military chief, has vowed,

2:12 pm
process that would end the conflict. but the army is not a part of any of those political processes that are currently employed in going, including one that is under way right now and i just above. but if you, if you and capitol, which includes the forces of freedom in change coalition and other political parties that signed an agreement to form a civilian government in december last year. so yes, they are talks up by the military to handle the power to an elected government until that to bring to power uh, or defendable power to a government that is representative of all the political parties and the groups here incident. but so far, the army is yet to officially engage in any kind of talk or initiative that's with and the conflict politically with the political parties here in the country. at least 3 people have been killed in an explosion in b f. ken province of horst 7 others have been injured in the southeastern region explosion that happened in a hotel near a mosque. security forces have launched an investigation and there has been more
2:13 pm

2:20 pm
it becomes clear as how old are the corner of the home that has been destroyed. life goes on in close proximity all around it. even the water, electricity, and communications have been cut off for many of the medics comfortable ended up here in the central area where relief is being cold. and they said for those, and the area is why the calls we all don't want to meet the whole neighborhood of people who just for obvious reasons, the way i understand it is a certain point. if they were to leave, they wouldn't be in. it's something that we've heard from so many who flooded the area. the suspicion, the rebuilding behind may not be as benign a process as the governor and other officials said we'll be, we've been removed constantly over and over and over by the plantation. now by the over development, by the tourist industry. now we have this disaster and there's all this open land. it's like people are seeing dollar signs. somebody said yesterday,
2:21 pm
lime is going to be the new way. uh, which is a, you know, a very sort of fancy money area on the south side. and i have to say it, i'll be over my dead body, my standing, the ground here. i'm to prove mutual aid. the community is pumping a mocker in the ground. she ever can see out a 0 come a pony my way at least 3 people have been injured in a russian attack on the black sea. 4th of a desa and ukraine. fire is broke out of the hyper markets in a dormitory, from debris of miss styles and drones that ukraine said it's shot down. but that's, it has come into regular attack since russia pulled out of the blacks. the rain deal must go said earlier that it was targeting ukrainian naval drone production facilities. and russia's rubel is losing its value against major currencies hitting a $101.00 to the us dollar. central bank blames lower oil and gas revenues,
2:22 pm
but says that there is no risk to stability ruble. i've seen a roller coaster ride since most go invaded ukraine in the 1st 2 weeks of the war. the currency loss, nearly half of its value. seeing eyes of a $135.00 to the dollar, then the central bank introduced type controls has foreign companies left the country in ports into russia still sharply. that created a situation where firms were only selling foreign currency in the rouble strength and the $52.00 to a dollar that was last year. since then, with new sanctions targeting russian oil and gas revenues, the exchange rate has been weakening again, hitting above a 100 on monday. well, economist chris, we for says that russia's central bank is keeping the rouble week to help balance the country in the budget. while oil and gas revenues are low, the currency is now entirely managed by the central bank and in cooperation to finance industry and other government agencies. so it's not a reflection of underlying economic strains or other pressures emerging economy as,
2:23 pm
as would be the case. if the, the currency was free floating, this is a consequence of the sanctions affecting oil flows to europe, which started last december. and we can track the start of ribbon week. there's almost from that point to the 1st week of december. essentially what the central bank is now doing with the finance industry is that they are weakening the currency . so that's the revenue coming into the federal budget. and in rouble terms, compensates for the draft and the dollar value of those exports. so so we had to have had a 40 percent drop of the ruble since december, and that roughly matches the drops that we've seen in the 1st half of this year in dollar oil exports receipts. so of course, now the central bank are missing that the move is too much, they're worried about inflation. we pressures, they've had to raise the interest rate. and of course,
2:24 pm
the concern is that if they don't kind of gain control over this process very soon, then it could lead to other economic problems emerging in the next couple of months . so the father of 2 of the 4 indigenous colombian children who survived a plane crash in may, has been arrested. prosecutors have taken mental relocate into custody after charging him with sexually abusing his step daughter. 13 year old was credited with keeping her 3 siblings alive when they were stranded in the amazon rain forest for 40 days. they went missing after the crash, which killed their mother and 2 others. the origin seen as far right presidential candidates appears to have upset the odds in the primary elections. economist, heavier and relay has defied expectations by taking the lead with more than 30 percent of the votes. for civil reports from window size. you know, surprise, we solve how the enemy laid the far right candidate, who calls himself a lie on one. the most votes in the primary elections on sunday with promises to
