yes, right now we are hearing that people are coming out from their homes. they have come to the street. many of them are celebrating. we are also being told that the military individuals who i spoke on tv have arrested several government officials as well. so this statement was with these on got on a tv, it's a stage one tv station. 5 phased in the presidency and this committee of the people that we sold on t view military um the army and the presidential guard as well. and they, they call themselves the committee of for the transition and, and a restitution. 7 of the institution, so they say they don't believe that the selection was free. that and transpired,

and they said that they have been watching the government to, they have been watching the government basically reveal the wheel of the people and these has to stop. so a lot of people in the board who are come into the street to say that they are happy and they wanted change. and we have been seeing this coming to out of the election, the campaign, the voting as well people. i've been saying that the selection, they are not confident that the election will be fair and sad because of different reasons. first, the government of the metro commission changed some election rules. and we also so that the government, but international observers of, from coming to the country as well as john, unless so we were supposed to go to go on to college the elect. so it was not

possible. so people was saying that there was something as soon as stuff going on. we don't know where the president is. um that individuals who uh spoke. uh say uh they did not say uh, he's still holding the president. so we don't know where he is. we know, like i told you that so several government officials have been arrested as well. but we also know that the opposition visa i'll but i also left the country immediately after she voted. we don't know which country he went to, but he said that he did not feel safe in the board. so the situation is still unfolding. and right now people are coming out to the street. you mentioned the president of the bone go, who has been president in the country for a very long time before him. it was his father on my phone to give us

a bit of the historical context say why people was so unhappy with the leadership. i guess people have been very, very frustrated for a very long time ali bundle and he's fine really have don't mean they said politics . inga born for close to 60 yes. and a lot of voters that we talk to save that if it's enough, they're tired of the board itself is a relatively rich country. it has uh, oil and other natural resources as well. but people say that these resources, this last uh, has not reached slippy for recalls down very slowly and very many people's a pool in the board about 30 percent of the population needs on

a $2.00 a day of people have new jobs and the cost of living is very, very high. people are talking about um, corruption, which is a rum times as well. and the, um, i mean basically the um, the gap between the poor and rich is widening every day. so people are saying they wanted change. they want to go have a lead, a lead up who is going to provide that chain so that they can have a better life. okay, thank you for that. catherine story following developments from nairobi in kenya. we can 10 now to our corresponding document interests, who joins us now live from naomi, which is the capital of new jazz. where last month, the ministry that also took over power of the country. so maybe what, what is the reaction from where you, why it, it seems like another crew in front of phone africa. it's, is there

a past and imagining it's exactly mounted and people are just waking up to vision use and shortly we expect the reactions on the streets and i it's expected that many people here would be happy. the come on friday off all the schools in west africa and central africa that we're seeing over the past few years. uh, basically uh, it's in a mix. technician corruption, i'm insecure to indicate something about, much more like corruption. and of course, my administration here in new jersey, public people are watching events closely. they people we spoke to earlier, i watching closely events unfolding that. and we think that the opposite, west africa and central africa at the moment is false, becoming the most unstable political environment on the continent. in addition to insecure jenny can i'm a decline. so it's a really, really concerning situation. and we expect the african union to react to this

latest development in double a whether or not they will apply sanctions. we know that's the part and what was happening in africa. we expect the statement very shortly or later in the day monday. okay, good to talk to you. i'm at interest that for us from naomi. let's go to nick hack, who joins us now on the phone from cox in synagogue. nick, you have a closely reported on western african in central african countries. i believe you've been in touch with people in gamble and what more can you tell us the extraordinary scenes i can give on this morning? some feedback would be impossible hours before because the internet was shut down. they would see all the streets after the election results were announced, a controversial election results, but now we're seeing people out on the streets despite the curfew announced by this

committee that took over power, made up of members of cherry. and they're coming out holding sign thing, get ball and it is finding the liberated, get gone. it's free real scenes of joy and the military. their announcement that was made on national tv is rolling so that people are waking up to a new country after 60 years of one family in control of gabon and i out to those people i spoke to. why so much joy? why says it's healing that that's pouring out on the street and, and he was describing to me that the situation before him had gone from bad to worse as, as, as a catherine and i'm, it had just brought, this is a rich country where people live in dire poverty, and there was a sense that a lot of that, well, it wasn't coming down to the people and did. they weren't free to express themselves because hours ago the internet were shut down. now the internet is back on and people are able to communicate between each other. and when i spoke to

people about the elections just on saturday, when people are voting, they were scared to talk to me to tell me what was going on. now they're telling me what they actually saw. one person told me that on the day of the election, they saw people be paid to vote for audi bung, though they saw members of the military transporting ballot boxes from an one a neighborhood to the other. and that the fraud at the level of fraud that they saw during the vote was so brazen that it was so shocking to them so that those are some of the reasons why we're seeing so much joy on the street. the big question is, what happens next? will all of the military be united under this qu because there is the presidential guard or the gal that if you can, as they're known, that supported by france. and this, remember that france has to, military base in need would be made up of 700 men that have long supported the

regime in place. we saw present in my written my quote, made it and it did make an address to all of the combatants that are talking about democracy in the region. given that there's been so many cruise that there that it should, we say that there steve, guarding democracies were trying to protect democracy. but what will happen to get boeing is key. this is a huge loss for firms and it's fear of influence, because good bond has been a key country which from which they have been exporting oil. that has been a key to francis a need for energy. and so this is a historic moment, not only for good bonds, but for the region as a whole, and i can tell you here, instead of going to current all, all these other french, former colonies that have strong ties with friends, they will wants to see what the reaction is next, the timing of this is quite interesting because the constitutional court in good ball and was supposed to confirmed these election results. so so,

so we'll see what happens next that for the moment, despite the curfew. it's the moment of george for thousands of given these that are taken to the st. enjoy. really interesting, very interesting to get your perspective, nicholas talk, the speaking to us from a send, a go. it caught in sunny go. let's read. let's find out a bit more about the republic uh schedule and because it's situated on the west and shows of central africa. it is the full of the largest oil producer in sub saharan africa and the country has been run as we've been hearing by one family for more than 55 years now. oh my phone. go on, diem. by was only the 2nd president of the bottom. the politician came into tell us from 1967 following the death of the president, lincoln die, and he remain that until his death in 2009. then his son, ali baba den bus succeeded his father and was then re elected as president in

august of 2016. he has so far said to 7 year terms, and on wednesday it was announced that he had won a said 10 following subspace election. as being polano se, but as a result journalist at the effort barometer. you enjoyed this now from aqua. thank you for your time. we'll see what understanding of what is happening in google and at the moment. so my understanding of a suggestion you've got to do is repeated when you look at the results and go on so that 90 percent of the people and the question where the country was going into the extra 90 percent. so that the country was giving you the wrong direction. you also think the question on the congress government economic condition depends on the people say that say that the country was the got this country going to be doing was very bad. know so in terms of what just well, just up and so i think i'm really worried about the elections, 80 percent of the people say that they're the results and they have to be trusted

in the country. and so that is addressing and what i will, i will go on a lot of those will just be, you know, we just got people. i'm not the industry industry because people are getting very frustrated for yes. looking at the wage when they are in the kind of foods to be shut off. well, all of these in the country and also look at the lack of access to business social services. they've got between the majority intern for majority. okay. and the country. so all the regions and ida james, richard job related to this address, are we seeing now? right. i guess the question though is why now with the bunker is being being in power for over 60 years. i mean, how closely would you say this is linked to the, all the on the lead queues with we're seeing recently in west africa that we just, it's difficult to read what i was recently up and, you know,

most countries i've experienced i back due on the export yes. which is not the case of go home for instance, in the, in the world. but we're not happy with the fact that the international i've done the most international opposite of service. we're not allowed to go and exhibit one site elections in government, which, which has to be the source of joy countries when the french on those with us to be the north country shows are just saying is quite different. different. the boat was that in there for 6 years to more of the boat in from all the out pauses, started changing by for the change of routine and even the position candidates. the rich was not my requirements. so this was also thought about the what do you want to one united police, we the pollution going for a little bit more because if you want them to do, or a way to do one bit,

i mean the polls let's, let's pick up on your point on, on this point about from me we had that from our correspondent talking about how historical moment this is from the french regional point of view have a cup on was a key member in this fear of an influence. and potentially, now they have now lost that. how do you think differential going to react? if you don't go, i've been to, to do the mazda place of whether you go across that fixed in depth of, from lumina. i've seen in pharma really is enough for go be or if it's done, my problem is this and say they're both very small for us. i'm. it's the most they don't do with their for other reasons to confirm or support them, but we don't know so easily. you know, these, the news is quite fresh. we are going to see what friends is going to do. but what we can say is that possible, they're very challenging, very difficult position because government media can deal with it suggests i'm in

use the money and we cannot get way of doing things on which we want is coming to the bottom. no, you know the situation is different from what i've been in the way subject and countries like, oh, i'm afraid we lost a little bit of connection to you towards the end of that interview, but it's very good to speak to you and get your perspective line on a see more research on this at the afro barometer, speaking to us back from cra, thank you. ukraine has launched what appears to be the biggest wave of strikes into russia since the thoughts of the war must go says 6 regions have been hits by drone attacks of night. the targets include an add ports when ministry planes were based, no casualties have been reported. russia has hit back with strikes on the ukrainian

capital cave, his v 6 regions in russia that ukrainians were able to hit bus pass called region near the estonian board of stuff at the most um inch. and then the launch fiber accounts as an airport of the regions report, the minimal damage with most drones, shot down rushes attack on kid killed at least 2 people. let's go to do a search bar who's life for us in saint petersburg to. so what is russia saying about this attack as well, we got an update from the officials here at the main one, the main attack that took place in fiscal f region, which is about 300 kilometers and south west of st. petersburg. and it's about 200 kilometers from the border with nato member sonia, according to officials, there were 4 military transport planes that were damaged in that attack. and there was some damage as well to the runway of the airport,

which continues to remain close according to the local governor for scope region. we also understand that a tax took place in moscow region, forcing officials to close down all the 4 major airports in the capital overnight for a brief period of time where a number of flights were diverted. but they've since reopened. and we also just heard from the foreign ministry spokesperson, maria's a, her about who set the following guy. she said the plan to attack russia is a dead ends basically for the you creating authorities and the agony of the key of regina stupid hatred, anger, and the absence of any prospect in their own development. as lead to this terrorist act at the feeling here is that this is one of the most reason attacks on russian territory. since the start of the so called special military operation, which began in february of 2022. we are waiting to get a full briefing from the russian defense ministry in the coming hours about those attacks that ukrainians are claiming russia carried out overnight. doors to jabar

that for us in the same patients. but let's go to wrote mcbride, who's in k for us world, happy ukrainians. actually in mrs. responsibility for these attacks on russia every night a. yeah, i mean, as always, the crane, you know, authority's never comment directly on these attacks, which they describe, but including this one is merely accidents happening on russian territory. but the administration here including bottom is the landscape. the presidents have said that a russian ad bases do present legitimate targets and it does uh follow a pattern. now it's a surge of an uptick and attacks on russian advices not only add bases and occupied crime it, but also in a rush or itself. we saw it just over a week ago that was an attack again in the far north west of russia and that base this of petersburg, where recruiting to a image is circulated on the, on social media, reportedly a long range supersonic bond,

the one that rushes latest was either damaged or completely destroyed on the ground . then just over the weekends, there was another attack on an ad based close to cuss, which is just over a 100 kilometers north of the ukrainian boda inside russia. when again, it does appear. so drones struck that at base and according to the ukrainians, 5 russian jets were badly damaged or destroyed on the ground. according to pro credit pro credibly blog is a was an ineffectual an attack. but you are seeing this increase in the tax on a russian ad bases. the attack on the coast guy base could well be launched from drones loans from inside ukraine's. but these attacks in the file north west of russia. it does make it appear as though it's unlikely. it seems as though a drone could get for that far from ukraine you in territory all the way across the russian territory. i to distract these targets. there is the possibility that these could have been lowered spike smaller drones by groups inside russia itself. okay,

thank you for that role mcbride that for us in cave. i just want to bring you a little bit of breaking news before we move on because we are getting reports now on the news was steve french prime minister has given a comment on what is going on in composing a he is saying the front is following the situation in composing very closely so that coming through. so watson, the news wise right now, the french prime minister, who is currently in boone, in from, says that from is following the situation in the bone very closely off to the news that the senior members of the ministry that have paid on television. saying that they are now in control of that oil rich central african country. now, hurricane dahlia is expected to hit the us days of florida on wednesday as a powerful category for storm is currently marked as
