president. his asking people to rise up, stephanie decker reports the soonest, as you have enough, as best i believe it was just before 6 am when the ball and look up to this big, glad that you often new thing, irresponsible, unpredictable governance which results and it continues to to ration of social cohesion, the risk of leading the country to close. today, the 13th of august, 2023. in the name of the governor and his 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. so the senior military officers appearing on national television announcing the seizure of power would make that happen to know if the countries election body announced that president of the bundle had won a 3rd term in office. the president put under house arrest. and now this video has emerged in having to send

a message to all the friends that we have all the work to tell them to make noise, to make noise for the people here, the rest of the in my family. but many people in the capital neighborville had been welcoming and celebrating the news. the boot your belief is over. uh, that was clearly something the end of the story is serious about applicant, but just couldn't see it happening in the community. i mean, who was no going to have a big population in gone. he was not accepted by the position that was this time without a really strong beat on it's a gun to me because he did a bit on the also and also there was some problem became audible and from opposition. candidates complained of missing by the papers for the general election on saturday. right, so we're going to zation condemned the bond on foreign media and international

observers. government leaders cut the internet access and impose the night curfew off to the elections, raising concerned about transparency. both previous wins by bunco, we're also challenged as fortune and by opposition. candidates. phone go has ruled oil rich come on since his father and previous president died in 2009. the family has govern the country for 56 years. longer suffered a stroke in 2018 which incapacitated him for almost a year. increasing calls for him to step aside, failed to attend, followed in 2019, when soldiers who mutinied or killed or jailed. the military has released this video showing soldiers celebrating, following the announcement cabal and supporters and now closed and all state institutions, dissolved stephanie decker, audra 00. gavin is living in france, have celebrated the qu, they gathered outside the embassy of congress. the butler was that

the japanese community is gathered, the right thing. people have been telling me to be on the double thing. going to say once again, they say it's because it's a peaceful revolution hosting to be sometimes it's just something i'd be for school . we are delighted, i'm 47 and all my life i've only heard about the bongos. and so for companies, people, it's a realization that the bone goes off, finished with it. both 16 is doubled. the case of a gap holmes and depends on the needs of may very strong choice which presents on the phone very strongly, many different tiers. just phones is enabled. the family agency,

right. the colewell people here has never trickle down to 90 people in one and now from this on to sign up and these people want to take this to full scale of pulse of us and call. and i think friends will see that we are capable of running our country well. and we hope different supports us, but not to recreate a neo colonial relationship. but as an equal economic part that knew what the french government has content, what a goals of crew to tell us a call to evaluate q. bronze is closely watching the situation and calls for the results of the election once the known to be respect to the next or the is, is going to be very concerned about his interest. so as a number, no friends, multi nationals in the country is the 0 power.

okay. but it is on there as live as the un headquarters in new york couple and as one of the known permanent members of the security council. so gabriel, what reaction if we had from the to well, we have not heard from the gambling and basset, or to the united nations at this point. we've been looking for him, but it was by all accounts. he's not here. don't need to necessarily read too much into that, but we just did here in the last few minutes from the spokesperson for the secretary general. and i'll just read a little bit of his statements. we get a sense of what the secretary general is thinking about the situation. he said that he's watching and following the evolving situation in google and very closely, the statement goes on to read. in part, the secretary general reaffirms his strong opposition to military coups and calls on all actors involved to exercise restraint and engage in an inclusive and

meaningful dialogue and ensure that the rule of law and human rights is fully respected. and also calls on the national army and security forces to guarantee the physical integrity of the president of the republic and his family, that from the spokesperson for the secretary general of the united nations just a few minutes ago. aside from that, we also did hear from the us ambassador to the un linda thomas green field a short time ago. this is what she had to say. we're still investigating the situation. it's ongoing right now, and we don't have all the details, but we are consulting with other members of the council on what action we might take is you know, when the new jericho happened, the council did come into a, a, an emergency meeting. and we did issue a very, very strong statement on that, but we are still investigating. so until we know exactly what is happening on the ground, we won't take any actions,

but let me just say clearly we condemn any efforts by military's to take to take a power by force. so good, can you give us an idea of how the security counselors tended to respond to twos in the past to yes, really. uh, mostly the security council has not responded for the most part. the one study looked at and the last 40 years or so, the crews that are happening around the world and was able to determine the security council only addressed about 25 percent of them. so in general, the security council takes a very hands off approach. i mean, they did the issue a strong statement about niger earlier this year, but the issue no statement at all about cruising chad or guinea in 2021 looking further back cruise and pakistan thailand in egypt in 2013 for example, in egypt,

this security council did not issue any statements about those either. in general, the security council is in a tough spot. why there's 3 things. number one is confusion. a lot of times in the early stages of a qu, they are just simply is not enough information to know exactly what is happening on the ground for the security council members to make any sort of statement. there's of course geo politics, particularly with the 5 permanent members that have detailed power. china and russia for example, feel very strongly that the security council should stay out of internal affairs in other countries and take a more hands off approach. some of the western powers feel differently a lot of times. and then of course, the lack of leverage, the security council has very little that they can really do to dictate that outcome when there is some sort of a military or other sort of clue in another country. add that all up. and that's

probably why you see the security council often times simply waiting for regional actors in this case the african union or echo was for example, to take the lead on making statements when situations like this transpire. okay, gabriel's on the brand fallacious lines the from the united nations, or just getting some lines of need russell, whether completed as have held amazing on who will be leaving the transitional governments. and that's kind of life to nick hawk, cuz he's pulling over the developments in the gap on from that car in senegal. and they took us through what they decided swell. there's been a meeting, a 100 close doors behind closed doors of all the generals. and those that have led this crew, and they've made an announcement on the who is the president of transition. and it's no surprise is the head of the presidential guard. it's, he's good the for the and way my, he was the head of the presidential garden is now the president of transition,

the man in charge, the new strong man in gabon. he was up until wednesday early this morning, the head of the presidential guard, the one that is responsible or was responsible for the security of all the bone go . and, but he was also the man that uh, orchestrated this cool that has his men around the presidential palace around the national assembly and around the neighborhood of the 70 which is where all the bunco is being held. that we saw this incredible video circulating on social media of all the bone go himself alone in isolated calling for help in english and say that he doesn't understand the situation. and he is saying that he's calling people to make some noise. but those noises seem to be having fallen on deaf ears at least enable to view the where people are cheering right now. people continue to

celebrate what is the end of the bone good to this t with this cool, orchestrated again by a breeze. but he and we're not the head of the presidential guard who is now the new president of transition in gabon laura and the cause of the day draws to a close their day of immense peebles, you know, to the people in libra, ville, they've been celebrating this too, but how much support outside of the capital might the be for all of them guy? the logo is, is, i mean, i've been to google and several times and i can tell you that the bundle regime is not very popular outside of the prophy. and i mean he's, he definitely has relationships with outside investors. and his families had been involved in business deals with the french companies and chinese companies. but for a lot of gap, and he's, he's seen a someone that has a terrible human rights record that in prison,

people from the opposition. a curious the rigging elections. i mean, just this presidential election. and we were talking to people in gabon who told us that if we told us they felt massive frauds in several neighborhoods. the 1st and to 40, if only small neighborhoods of, of naples where they saw people rigging stuffing a valid papers in the, in, in, in the, in the pulling stations. and really adding to this notion that these elections were just a fraud. so you have to understand that was there was an international condemnation from the united states, the u. n, or the african union over this crew. it's celebrated at home in gabon because there's a lack of trust in the institutions that were held by all the bung ups. and what's interesting to note about these are the and where am i the head of the presidential guard? he is part of the entourage of all the bone go and the even of his father,

omar bongo, he was a personal aid to his father omar, omar bone go. and then it was a need to all the bone go. he was literally behind a coup attempt in 2019 when i'll even go suffered a stroke and was removed from his post. he was the defense at tashay in morocco, in here in the car center go before he returned back to, to, to naples unit. and we saw him flashed in in june when people go went to paris to the and he's a and we saw a i leave, i don't go shaking hands with it for as an amendment back home, but also the use of the shaking hand as well with with michael, so he's known both for from the international actors perspective, but also at home and in the entourage of all the bulk of what, what's interesting is what this june has announced following this co investigations . a rest of all those that are part of the phone go system and his son nor dean

has been arrested and no national television. right now and going, he's national television. we see the, the qu leaders saying that they have been charge of corruption, of a drug trafficking of stealing from the state coffers. and that all these power pull powerful men that were seen above the law will, will now be facing justice. also in the announcement made by the judge that they said that those election results that put all the bone go into a lead and winning their selection. well, those results are now revoked. it's, it's back to square one and it's a complete overall of the institution. it is a historic moment for gabon and it has repercussion for the region as a whole. laura, okay, and that kind of joining us that from center goal, bring us the latest on the events that and god for them. thanks very much today. so

the overthrow of i live longer and the rest of his son as nick, was saying may spell the end of a family dentist day that dominate to the plesk landscape in the country. some more than 50 is. hi, mr. ave takes a look back now at his wise and full from power, the only bungle, came to power in 2009. he served as foreign and defense minister during the 40 year rule of his father hallmark. after he died. bonds next elected head of state, had a familiar name, oli, bundle, tried to distance himself from his father's legacy, a squandering good bones vast. but by 2016, he appeared to be following in his father's footsteps, consolidating his grip on power, winning the presidential election by just a few 1000 folks. voting was marked by violence and allegations of fraud. mass protest followed,

and demonstrators burned down the parliament building. in the capital libra ville, after his election when bundled, promised to address the problems, fueling the anger of his people, including unemployment and poverty. i'm reaching out to them and said, well, let's see, donna. we've been talking for years, but we need to change the system. we need to change the law, but let's do it now. the instability of 2016 changed the political landscape leading to more discontent. divisions remained for years with some opposition leaders boycotting delayed parliamentary elections in october 2018. and just weeks later, there were conflicting reports about the president's health. he fell ill during an investment conference in the south, the capital react, and was admitted to hospital with what his spokesman said was severe fatigue. other reports said he'd suffered a stroke. crazy though. do you move on to i think there's a default in a few months later, in january 2019 a handful of junior army officers attempted

a short lived crew. they seized control of the national radio station and called for street protests to restore democracy, declaring ali, bundle unfit to rule another. so the takeover was quickly ended with 2 soldiers killed and others arrested foot problems of inequality and poverty persisted under the rule of all the bundle winning the presidency for a 3rd time and controversial circumstances with elections lacking and transparency . they were a step too far for the security forces in the end of the bundle was overthrown by his own presidential guard zane bus robbie ultra 0. the that's the reason why the news though and hearken adalia has been lashing florida in. the southern us is now moving into georgia, which is declared a state of emergency along with south carolina warnings of a life threatening storm sized floods. and high winds were issued from nice to for

just 21000000 residents. and these 2 people died and bird crashes related to the storms. it all, it already cause wise but damage in cuba for at least another 2 people were killed . nbc news correspondent jake re reports from gainesville in florida. when the category 3 at land full ripping apart the small communities along the florida coast line there. and this one continuing to push in, were there in gainesville. we're a bit in land and we saw it. tons, heavy rain and wind, gusting overnight and into the early morning. as the storm has moved through, things have kind of cleared up not over here by any means, but perhaps the worst of it has gone at this point. we know i've just talked with some officers who have been assessing some of the damage here that there are power lines down in some areas that we have 3 lands and entries that have been pulled down as well. and so that's something they're dealing with in this area is that strong does continue to move right now. it's pushing through florida. already

a portion of this storm is in the georgia and causing some serious flooding there. it will continue that move to the north and the east and up the coastline. there a testimony to just how strong the system is. it's remain the hurricane is right now, even though it's been over land for a couple of hours. so this was a very intense, very well formed hurricane and continues to again, cause those problems moving on to go into the carolinas and then eventually forecasters leaf spin out back into the waters. but right now, it's still posing a serious threat in areas where it's been areas like this one, gainesville, there is still concern because this could fall on some tornado. the, the unsettled weather and in areas could cause some tornadoes or warning and watches across the state. right now, the ukraine has large, what appears to be the biggest wave of strikes into russia. since the start of the

war. ukrainian drains targets had these 6 regions in russian territory. scope says he was hardest, has a launch last off it as an apple, it was several minutes. you pains with damaged arrow. so attacks then most go that that's a flight. so it's simple. apple, it's being suspended. and for the south reports of drains being shot down in the brands, it could luca oriole and re, as on regions. the attacks went on, usually deep into russian territory. and malcolm age escalation and ukraine's use of drone wolf um, you know, shop of oliver reports from mosca to be wednesday nights of tugs of virus. russian regions have become the most intense and the stones will become fixing ukraine and the most significant of time to place a 10 minute trap field in scope and rushes north west close to the stony and buddha . according to various sources, up to 20 drawings were involved in that time, a mazda 5 and broke out of the apple several fuel tanks. cool, fine,

and the police for military transport. it was $7.00 to $6.00 across were damaged. tell them where reportedly completely destroyed that can be seen as a heavy blow to russia's ministry aviation, as it will be very hard to replenish the g to sanctions imposed on russia and it will had from russian foreign ministry spokeswoman marie is a heart, but she said quote, the key of regime or revealed its terrace nature and she promised punishment for those actions. she also said that the grows that had struck the ad base and scope. we're using intelligence from western countries. criminal spokesman to meet your best call has said that russia's military expos, gathering information about the launch positions, open trends that attacks the at pulled and scope in order to take further measures . he also said that russia, which continues special ration to roger case, the terrorist threats from ukraine, while the ministry of defense did not comment on the strike on the scope at pulled at full. and the special ed is now say that's weeks pulse and rushes defenses of

being costs and click the test of these days. so russia has to salads to now, to is that, to announce a national search time for the remains of people who disappeared during the ministry will of augusta pen of shame. it comes as the wells commemorates day of the disappeared and is the 1st time since the end of the finish. i read jane that the 2 land government has tried to find those who went missing. thousands of people in prisons, tortured and killed during pena chaise. 17. yes, impala. well joining us now from a to that and capital is all latin american as salisia, newman and lucy. if it comes 1st, that's what a little bit about. what happens during the finish showtime? a certain way. but 1st, let me tell you, i'm going to be speaking rather softly because we are in the presidential palace or at the moment the president is addressing hundreds and hundreds of families and friends. all the thousands of people have disappeared in this country. there's

still 1100 in the insurance, and i've never been around what happened? do send and 1973 september and then the exact right to where i am now, the president, the engine was kind of gave us the president of chinese have of that i and it was thrown by inability to cool advice that by general i will still be new. for months, years afterwards, he changed to real or suspected opponents of the dealership and many of the thousands of the church executed and for when mister and humans, they were killed, but the remains would never find them. that's what this is all about. why should take this so normally set to launch this set? so what we're talking about see finding remains of the missing extremely good question. some would say that's because no government to return to democracy in 990 has really. ready taken responsibility for what happens in the

dictatorship in terms of find the domains like disappeared. that takes money, takes scientific knowledge, takes. ringback operation as a conditional system and of the army that was responsible for the severe issues. so there's a lot of information that's been scattered over all these years. that hasn't been put together this plan, hope stuff that helps to inject millions of dollars also into fine. do the remains of many of those people who disappeared. what are the chances we know that some of them can be found. probably not the more than a 100, since some of them were actually we know trellis and helicopters or blown up with dynamite. but there's, there isn't enough evidence to suggest that dozens, if not more of those of the families who are here behind right now. listening to the president speak will be able to find these, put to rest the remains of their loved ones,

a lot of high that in that room where you at least see it. many things bring us the latest that from today. and then bangladesh, the families of victims of full disappearances that have really to demand that every time human rights groups, claim security forces for more than $600.00 posts. as a parent says in the past 14 years that families accused the government of harassment to try and force them to remain silent about what happened. let's try it will hold a referendum on the 14th of october to all spaces, whether the constitution should recognize the indigenous population. the 122 year old constitution has never acknowledged indigenous people as the original inhabitants make up a full percent of starting the nation on that die every est riley, and will have a once in a generation chance to bring our country together. and to change it for

the best of the good. so recognition listening and better results. and i ask all as dryly and to the yes a lot said from me nora: kyle: the weather is next and then do stay with us. full inside story. the next time by the let's start with the good stuff. it's turning less humid across the gulf states over the next little bit. we'll talk about that in one sec. but as always, let's begin with the big picture and what i see some storms flaring up around the huge as mountains in saudi arabia. but to the gulf, we go now and those winds now blowing down from iraq. so there is

a hot and dry when, so for us here in the, that means the temperature comes up and the humidity goes down. you'll notice it certainly over the next few days, it's quiet through buckets down. we do have somewhat weather though through central asia. so tash kent dish kick deshawn, be your temperatures are running below average for this time of the year. a temperature is are popping up in searcy, a assemble 30 on correct up to 36 wall to wall sunshine in the forecast here. it is also hot through northeast africa. so kyra, we've got some hot days ahead for you. and as we look at the tropics in africa right now, burst of rain running through southern chad, so not too far away from the capital engineer on thursday. meantime, who's been a big change in the weather for the western cape providence in south africa, we've got this weather maker rolling in, so it means the winds are going to pick up and we've got some showers 15 degrees, but a warm wind for my food. so you're at 28,

we'll see you soon. a of the atlanta stein will to be legal trade. what you have here is not just american logical objects. you're talking about the political damage, where the spoils of war smuggled and sold 2 option houses and private collectors, buying or selling. i mean, part of the fact is worth finance is the beheadings of muslims in the middle east. don't sell, don't buy. that's one quick solution. box trafficking on i will just say around 10 and initiated by algeria in the crisis in neighboring this year. the areas are proposing a 6 month transition period from military to civilian rule, while other countries are threatening to leaders with military intervention. so how much leverage does algeria have to push its initiative forward? this is inside store the
