a soft sweat and network from the inside us experts use hack as tools to boil cyber criminals. the . we'll start with breaking news out of cabal on the senior members of the military . have a paid on television this morning saying they are now in control of the oil, which central african country they've owed at all. institutions to be dissolved military leaders also announced the constellation of sat today's election results. the electrical commission says that president, ali boned go one, a said to him in office, he said to have gotten any 65 percent of the vote. as soon as you as nice as best are often noting irresponsible, unpredictable governance, which results and it continues. deterioration of social cohesion,

the risks leading the country to close. today, the 13th of august, 2023, and the name of the company's people we, the committee of the transition and the restoration of institutions have decided to defend the piece, putting an end to the regime in place. to this end, the general elections of august 26th, 2023, as well as the results or cancel to the board. as of the country, i closed until further notice of the institutions of the republic dissolved the government, the senate, the national assembly, the constitutional quote. we called in the population for come and surrender to myself. and we are from our attachments to the respect of the bones, commitments to the international community, isn't it? okay, let me give you some geographical context here because our public of the bone is situated on the west and shows of central africa. the country has been run by one family for more than 55 years. oh, my bone go on didn't but was only the 2nd president of the bone. he came to power

in 1967 following the desk of the president lee on the who remain the until his death in 2009 ali bongo and den, both succeeded his father and was then re elected as president. in august of 2016, he has so fos, of to 7 year terms. and of course on wednesday it was announced that he had won a sad time following soft today's election. and component is the 4th largest oil producer in sub saharan africa. the country is a full member of opec. that's great and nick hack, who joins us now live from deka. nicholas, you've called the west and central africa extensively. you've been speaking to people in gabon this morning. what more can you tell us about what's going on that as well, from people that i spoke to in certain neighborhood and even in the capital, there are seems inventories with hundreds of people taking it to the streets. a

chance saying that good bone is liberated, get bone is free if the end of a one party system or a family holding onto power for the last 60 years. so there's a real, a sense of joy in certain neighborhoods. in other neighborhoods, we're seeing the soldiers patrolling the streets and, and according to the people that we spoke to, there was uncertainty. are these troops that are loyal to go to the bone go? or are these troops that have orchestrated what appears to be a cool? what's interesting is the timing of all of this. so just minutes before this address made by these soldiers on national television. well, the election commission had and now it's the results to get bones population announcing that we've been go ahead one these elections in just minutes after we saw this announcement where we saw members of the military wearing red, green, and blackberries. that when spoken speaking was wearing a blackberry, suggesting that he was part of the infantry brigade. but there was also civilian

showing a united front saying that this is the end of a roof even just hours before the internet was shut down in india bond. following that was election. and so now the government seems to be able to communicate to each other and then waking up to what seems to be a new regime. no new is yet of i'll the bone go himself, but i can tell you what. when i spoke to some people before ahead of the elections or during the election day, they were scared to talk to communicate and tell us what was actually happening. and today they're finally telling us how the best selection to play. some of them told us they saw a fraud on, on a, on a massive scale in the capital needs of either where, where people were exchanging their votes against 10000, say a foss bills, or that they saw the military taking the bell inbox from certain areas of the neighborhood really and trying to fiddle with these elections. there was no

international observers there to see what was going on. what was going on our team from now ruby that was supposed to be there to cover those elections were not allowed in. so this is no surprise that there is such a level of joy, given the fact that the situation in this wealthy country with this oil rich country has been deteriorating. so well, this country is richard oil. it is poor in terms of the that the wealth hasn't been chris trickling down to the population. there was a lot of anger amongst people about that that their circumstances had been going from bad to worse. and the last few years in bongo is under bung goes presidency, but we still haven't heard from him. we heard from, from him and even my call yesterday there was this announcement suspension made to all of its ambassadors. and we have to remember that component is a former french calling. it is king, is strategic allied to friends, both because of a cheer, graphical location,

both because it's oil rich and that france has profited from best oil in the last couple of years. while he said that she is standing for democracy, so it'd be interesting to see how the french react to this. could that just happen under their nose enabled the, there's 2 french military base $700.00 french soldiers in the capital itself. and it was on seeing the north of the country to now it'll be interesting to see how they react to this situation. for the past decades, they have been supporting the regime in place. they say the democracy in gabon, but this democracy doesn't speak to everybody in google and as you can see, things of joy in certain neighborhoods. and a lot of people wondering who is in charge of this country this morning. molly, very interesting to get your perspective. nicholas huck that for us in the account . let's go to i'm at address now. he joins us now live from naomi the capital and the judge where of course, just last month, the military that will say took over power and interesting listening to nicholas

attacks. a perspective there about from and what their involvement could be in the future because this looks like another crew in a francophone africa. i mean, that seems to be at least a pass and imagine exactly what happened in molly 3 years ago. set a chain reaction across francophone west central africa. and now the reason is be possibly coming. one of the most political yes, table regions. and in addition to in security, as long as it's no big decline. so basically people are wondering what's happening . but again, when you talk to a political onto this in the region that will tell you about the deprivations, the economic malay, the security that's been there on the inability of governments in power democratically elected governments in power to deal with these situations. corruption is also one of the major factor, and now it's, it would be interesting to see how the african union reacts to this. we know the

initial reaction is to suspend countries. member countries that uh where it cools up, taking place with seeing that with molly was saying that would be possible. do you need and now and is yeah, and it's expected very soon. they will also announce the dep only suspended from the african membership of the african union. but what is interesting is we hardly will see any effective sanctions being applied on board simply because of its mineral resources. something that we've seen happening in bodily and broken across the right now, the expectation of many a political analysts in west africa and central africa was that when there is a cool with the strangulation, economic stronger solution should be applied to enforce the rules that the ministry should go back to the backside of restore democracy. what, what do we continue to say in these countries? is that mining of mineral resources, an oil continuing those country? so basically people are watching, but yeah and is yeah,

people are just waking up to the news and it will go to the heart of the many to us or just yeah, that at least one of the african country i've seen their way, at least really. okay. address that for us in the army, the capital of news yet, let's get the perspective of a wiggly gregory. he's a security homeless for a, for a political, which is a security consultancy. he joins us now from i'm cra, 1st thing, give us you understanding of what is happening in google and at the moment. yes, i think when it cool anything thing up on, it came as a surprise, but it doesn't make sense. not really because if you go back to 2016, for example, where there was an election at the election was enough for the fatherland protested . and that was a valid bundles to sit on election. then there was a queen 20 equipped into the in 2019 and decided to do before i got the electronic bandwidth for the length on was, looks really present to people, the weight of, of the people to be foss, thoughts, so last weekend of election,

begin with seem to same puts on those people who are thinking they've what they're doing one direction. oh, the fortunate you know, to what's where the content, the, the condition that it chose. and that's kind of widespread. uh, just like his talk to him and it went through that process. i think also on this quote, this fact that's the moon's between one is very different from what you're seeing and up as of west africa. because why that is more about security and governance. this is specifically about the letter of process because then what time you're doing, we see these items repeating up on, on the media to comes in on the the biggest thing i give, that's a very good point that you make that. so what you're saying is there will be support for this code. yes, already. so look at this, look, i just choose a couple of people. i say very soon, think i said everything. nicole. and even if you, if you listen to, if you look to see that statement over the over the pushes you would see the very much, you know, specifically talking about neutron transition artist,

the original institutions. so again, that goes back to like i said, the editor of process, and that is also in the all of these additional fitness center. hoping that in the transition process, they would require maybe to look at it, cause it to show and also look at how to strengthen students it to show us regarding a political political process. i guess the question is, what happens next and how united is the ministry in what is taking place right now? we've been listening to a corresponding talk about the influence of france in the bone. the historical influence, the 2 military bases that exist in france at the moment. i mean how, how do you think that's going to play into things or yeah, i mean, this is a if you mix as blood. so 1st thing for this only continued the version of the prison, michael was talking about democracy and very interesting to know that he didn't even know no comments you had with them. so they're going to continue this cool. just like a condom to the previous attempt in 20. 19 that everything and also to step into to

can to condemn this. but double play the base. did you call for front? uh, it has to be as is it business and in the country, a couple put is about 200000 by the buyers before you buy b. and but all of that, uh, all of that, i'd love to talk to the economy at appropriate for the, for the country. however, i think what is key to what top full is, how it costs is due to this one because we're missing cruising with stuff. we got a course of being in this put the lights. this is not the 1st was seen in central africa on how they're going to respond to this. if they're going to follow defense, give us a cost. and then in talking the issuing of it. we have of course, seen this increasingly anti french sentiment in all the west african nations, more notably in the shadow recently. is it a similar situation in the bone? yes the the, the, the queen got born is this, i think it's more about and so just talk to him and get it in a trap process. and 5 definitely informed me that rudy country for about 66 years

before the bulk of his father. he took apartments for in 2009 you know, on and he has been a fundamental for 2 years. so it is seen as the democratic process doesn't really work on 1st. might not really be keen to us to complain about this. the step of the gnostic kind of group, but people in the country, i think that will let you in my number cannot possibly last seen or some flags. there's no indication of that yet. so it does it down to the science and math. it's not necessarily about content on sy, fronds like blessing and use it on monday. well, more about the new determine the future of government focusing more on just bits on to prepare to the processes. but let's talk a little bit more then about the country as the say rich and oil. it's an opec member. it's also a key produce of this energy transitional material like magnesium. i mean, we know the board as have been shot. i mean, what, what are the, why the international run medications, if one is going on that a yeah, i,

i want to substitute a student that's too stable, that they don't seem to be able to respond to it is struck by does it because like i did see it, but i don't produce about 20000 biters, but this was not much so much significant, but not enough to close shop it across the market. however, i think it's, it's crucial to, to watch closely how are you not countries, original air control that are going to respond because that will determine whether or not this is going to be a cool. that's steve boy. cool. that would not, that would not be able to, in a, to handle the pressure. and that's something to what i, what that's what we're getting. we need to also look at where, what it is to, to present that are from our present. they're both. if he's in this, in good condition, or if he's not seen anything about, that's definitely something to which i've also okay, really good to get your perspective a big way. griego a security unless for our, for a police cause speaking to us that from entre ukraine

has launched what appears to be the biggest wave of strikes into rushes since the thoughts of the war targets include an add ports. when ministry planes are based, no casualties have been reported. russia has hit back with strikes on the crania and capt o'keefe. here the 6 regions in russia at the ukrainians were able to hit the task of region near the estonian board itself and the most damage a launch fiber account at an airport. and then other regions reported minimal damage with most drones shot down rushes attack on. keep killed at least 2 people. that's great to hear. yes, from below that who's lie for us and most go. what is what you're saying about the attack? while the rest,

i'm going to show defense data analysis. that'd be a mazda tons, by trying the central russian was repelled, but they kept silent about the trans trying on the schools ad pool. so obviously we understand that was a massive drug, not talk unprecedented on russian soil of the nice and many states has in different regions where a tops probably has been the largest of toxins, the stats of the special mentorship, ration ukraine, and the most significant one. upon kate took place at the miniature as filled in schools, as you mentioned in the north west of russia, closer to the a stand in bold and according to it's now printing a report for heavy transport. it will 7 to 6 across has been destroyed. that which has a mass of loss for rushes, ministration as it will be very hard to restore the current conditions. and in addition, one of the trends had been for fuel and complex on the temperature of the field. and there was a major fire, and the think block cleans up smoke were rising above the se, and uh no,

well this according to i went test reports, at least 20 drugs were enrolled and that's a talk in a separate case, the works persians and brianna's, which borders ukraine, the work bright flashes reported in the city of taylor, which is about 10 to 12 hours drive south of less got the got to know the city over real reported on the dining of trends. and also the minister of defense announced the destruction of a drone over the redesign regions of all the councils, ad pool. so temporarily closed and russian foreign ministry sparks. women also said that, so she called that talks key of terrorist activity, which was caused by, by the absence of any prospects for them. so basically that's the information we have your leadership of over that for us. and most let's go to what mcbride, who's in case, how the ukrainians admitted responsibility for these attacks on russia. of the yeah, as always,

the ukrainians don't comment directly about these attacks. talking very quickly about this uh, this attack and others being made is accidents on russian tire 3. but to the ukraine, you know, authority is due regard. rushing that basis as legitimate target to these after all, like the, according to the crate needs. this is wherever tax on ukrainian territory loans to a from and it does fall the way to increase on the add bases in russia itself, not just the occupied the crime there. we still are over the weekends and attack by drug drones on an ad based close to cus. good. that's the city about a 100 kilometers north of the ukrainian border according to ukraine. you know, authority is around a 5 jets on the ground were targeted. and then just over a week ago again, that was another long range attack on an ad based very much in the north west of russia close to some peaches. but when a long range, supersonic pharma was reportedly either destroyed or at least badly damaged against

on the ground. so there is, does the fall of this pop up this increasing number of attacks on that basis and some of them deep inside russian territory itself, which does either lead you to believe that either the load if the attacks to being launched from ukrainian soil, then they all by longer range, both sophisticated, heavier drones that are somehow getting through russian defenses. but also the possibility that maybe it's bikes, small, the cobra groups operating in russia itself, using a smaller, sophisticated runs that once again, all getting through russian defenses and robust been an overnight attack on key. what more can you tell us about that? this? yeah, this is being the site to be the largest such attack since the spring gully this morning local times about so just before dawn i, there were a series of loud explosions by pretty much waking up the whole of the city, according to the authorities here. this was mold and faulty either miss silas or drones that were filed a key from all directions. the authorities here say that old but one drone were

destroyed, but with that drone and also the amount of miss allison projectiles that were in the ad. there was an awful lot of debrief holding on the city in the early hours and on 3 districts in particular and also damaging 6 houses outside of the city. a number of fires were reported on that also have been reports of casualties with several people being killed and injured. thank you for that role mcbride that for us in cave hurricane natalia is expected to strengthen into a more powerful category full stone when it hits the us state of florida in a few hours where the expense, a warning or for the coolant, unprecedented event to come and all is ready cause widespread damage in cuba, where least 2 people were killed. island fisher has more. the size of a value becomes very clear from space 28 counties in florida. they'll have issued evacuation orders for the coastal cities. that's millions of people impacted.

people i define higher ground before the heart of keen hits. i tell them to leave every firm on that's what the county said, that's what the state said, and that's what my director said. so i am not to deviate because we want you to be alive. their boarding up filling up and putting up stores have been cleared. the central supplies at this hospital in tampa cruise are building a 3 meter aqua wall to protect from stone search and flooded for many others. sandbox will be the last line of defense. to find right now, obviously we're on the bad side of it. but worst case is flooding right now. hopefully not too much wind damage. the only tip i would say is with so many more people moving in to florida. if you're planning to get away, you start ahead of time because the traffic, it's no kidding,

it's horrible. this is going to be a major hurricane. likely a category 3. and it's where it's scheduled to head along this big bend and we've not really had a hurricane strike this area for a long, long time. if you've got to go back to the 1800s, before you would see a pass like this, a lot of cases already swept over cuba, not as strong as it will be over florida, but enough to cause damage one in law by my 2 children and i went through a really rough time inside our home. we needed to leave this place at 2 am, because everything was wet, the mattresses, the bed, the quotes were drenched, everything was drenched. little tom of the national weather service says florida is facing a life threatening dangerous situation. with potential wins of 170 kilometers per hour, it will get stronger as it moves to the floor to the coast. people are being warned . we should expect to spend several days surviving on their own island,

fisher. i'll just see the so don's military if we were to add those spots out, but had, has met egypt president to discuss a piece mediation of the by on the fact that with c c as the 1st time, but has been abroad since fighting began in april between the army and the power of military rapids support forces. thousands of people and see donovan killed. millions more happened for us to leave the homes. i'm lucky. the last we reiterate that the city needs armed forces are the national army of the home. there. we do not have any inclination to hold the reins of power or to continue to rule the country. from this platform reassure our neighbors and friends that we are seeking to end this war to complete the transitional course towards democracy. it's a hold free and transparent election by the end of this transitional root is to come out of tucson via who is seeking to deny balte 11 people, including 5 egypt sions, charged with espionage. they were arrested for entering

a restricted zone of lusaka airport, 2 weeks off to authorities seized the plane along with guns, cash, and fate. gold i'll do is foreign minister says neighbouring news. yes. should have a 6 month transition period from military to civilian rule. algeria says the qu, initialize unconstitutional, and that it facts the deposed president. and how many assume the foreign minister i'm at a top is also rejecting the use of force to try to solve the crisis. algeria says, any ministry intervention will have died, consequences for and is yet the region and bundle dish. the families of victims of force disappearance is holding rodney to demand that their relatives are returned. human rights group say security forces have been behind more than 600 force disappearances since 2009 and fridays are being held in the council. deka family se,

that'd be harris by the government to force them to remain silent about their loved ones. the focused on supporting the prime minister on con, remains in prison. despite having a corruption conviction suspended, one court ordered his release, but another immediately ordered his detention on a separate case, con, face is more than a 100 criminal charges. he says the prosecutions optimistically motivated. come all high to has moved from islam about dates that go to d outside the high court and it's normal, but a handful of supporters and lloyd the way the judgment. did it jubilation. and it can fund, wanted to appeal against it. the sentence up to being a june to renewed any sending gifts given to the state during his 5 years in offering. the spokesman for funds focused on derek and south part is cautiously optimistic about what comes next. first and foremost it proves that the case originally they just stood in the context of boucher kinda was

a fake and fortunate in case of the chief justice of the solid biotech work and the chief justice of the supreme court. both and crick ought to have stated that in retrospect, it appears that the key a signal foundation. so this is coming from the to keep just says he also said keeping con in jail is unconstitutional. and the negroes deemed, or to continue to fight for justice. legal experts here the court has no legal basis to hold on indefinitely. we expect use case in that. we believe that there is no strength in the case that may prolong his detention. the whole official high quotes have already passed the judgment of that. if someone is already under arrested, he cannot be arrested unless there is permission from the court. the smell of od high guard has expended con sentence for corruption and ordered his relief. however, another court ought to be kept in j until he is produced before the court. and

another case pertaining to do a picture of the secret. fine supporters said there is a deliberate attempt to keep con from contesting the next elections do later this year. and progress cons, checkered political history. it is already difficult to predict what comes next. but given focused on worsening economic pricing, the situation remains on anybody and continued political instability does not all go read for the countries future commodity the data. if lama bought cyber security expense from the f, b i on europe have shot down a malicious software network responsible for more than 40. around some attacks around the world of the crime detectives, st malware and known as catapults had infected, more than 700000 computers. they say, for instance, we're able to add more than $58000000.00. jody. what speed is the chief executive

of the global cyber risk? she says, i thought was dangerous, was hard to take down. and finally, through a coalition of international law enforcement, they were able to undertake this action through some court order. they said they gained law for the f b, i gained lawful access to the button, its infrastructure. so that indicates to me, they got a court order somewhere, most likely in the united states to get access to that computer. so they could then issue that instruction to on it uh, download the malware the software to uninstall it, uninstall it. so it's very hard to track and trace cyber crimes because we have a legal framework that is antiquated. we have the internet that goes all over the globe and everybody communicates without any borders except law enforcement. prosecutors, government officials, diplomats all have a boarders and they have to stop and then ask for assistance. and so you can't pack

track and trace a hacking into a computer unless you have assistance in every country that it went through. and so it's a very time consuming process. it's one we don't have a legal framework to really support except in, in some countries. and so it, it makes it almost a perfect crime for criminals because it's very hard to catch them to, to find out who they are and to catch them. and when it's a global network of computers, then you're into a global set of jurisdictions, which makes it even more difficult. so it's a very hard problem that has been desperately needing international cooperation for the past 20 years. so this, this really blessed, encouraging to me.
