catastrophic. well, good luck. we're not a catastrophic catastrophic in all ways, especially when it comes to security. it will apply reply security day when not bad . remember, the next day for the signs of unrest. this time from the army. heavy gunfire coming from several barracks in the capital plus disrupted internet connections from did phase of a to the defense minister was quick to get on the to deny the government had lost control of mobile unit. it is a legitimate law. the government has confidence in the army which remains committed to the republic. we asked the people to remain calm to carry out their duties. we are following the developing situation so we can provide information on the real reasons for the shootings who handle. so i can tell you that for the moment everything is under control and we ask our army to continue to support our republic
8:18 am
and carry out its mission to protect its territory. and its people use it as a potential, not till it were in the populace. but his words did little to calm. the protesters who rampaged and set fire to the ruling parties. headquarters, more demonstrations sprang up across the capital in support of the mutilating soldiers. that up at the lack of support in fighting the islamists, the soldiers demanded more resources and at the military top broth be sacked. all of this, just a week up to 12, people were arrested on suspicion of planning to destabilize institutions in the country. spring and journalist henry wilkins in walker do go. henry, we got mutiny is an army units public protest shots fired around the presidential compound. what's going on is the president still in control? yeah, it's still very much unclear of the stage. certainly there's been room in swirling
8:19 am
since around midnight last night. i'm currently less than a kilometer away from the presidential helicopter, circling around for a m last night. there are reports that the president was taken from his private residential home. no from from where we are right now. the daylight has just arrived, so we're about to go out and see what the situation on the streets. but certainly when we were driving to the, to the presidential palace last night, the meeting for security forces very much seem to be in control of the street outside of checkpoints, in the area around presidential palace. it sounds like there are multiple actors involved here. henry, who exactly is battling whom? is it clear?
8:20 am
yeah, i mean, it definitely seems to be the makings of a military too. so the show answers your question is the security forces versus the state of the moment? it seems less and less that there are elements of the security forces remaining that still support the current government definitely seems to be that the military has turned against the government. yes. what are their main grievances within the military then that they would turn on the government? well, became a war for 6 years with our groups linked to atlantic states and al qaeda that he's not winning. back in november, last year, there was an attack on a military base in the loss of the country, which for $49.00 military personnel were killed. and then it transpired out of been
8:21 am
supplied with the sparks waiver process and a lot of questions. and on the general public and the military is to how the government handling the massive security problems with our service is suffering at the moment. so we certainly need a, they want to see a change in leadership of the military and intelligence service. and they also want to be best resource and with more, more troops as well. and i thank you so much. that was journalist henry wilkins. they're in the capital of burkina faso. why do italy's parliament starts voting for a new president today? the favorite is current prime minister mario druggie, but some fear the government will be stabilized if drug is elected president or the
8:22 am
current prime minister rather have drug abuse. christina want reports from rome. when it's then this will be a portrait of mario druggie, the man who may very well be italy's next president, the 74 year old technocrat, who hated the european central bank and is currently serving as prime minister. he's widely liked abroad and here at home or another. so normal he is a very serious person and knows what he is doing. foreman south arevalo. he is authoritative. he has the skills recognized at european and world level among assembly of your truth. for us. he's perfect, but it's the political interests and not public popularity that will decide druggies a fate. choosing the head of state is the job of lawmakers, just over a 1000 of them from across the country. these great electors, as they are known here, are from all sides of the political spectrum. this is the query nelly palace,
8:23 am
the president's office in rome. one analysts put it to me this way. if mario druggie doesn't get elected as president, it will most likely be because political parties cannot agree on what happens after he leaves his office. as prime minister rigolato, he presented very boldly go as prime minister, maria druggie has brought much needed to be listened to. italy's chaotic politics way, governments here often collapse off to just one year. his departure from the premier ship could plant the country into political crisis, especially if it triggers an early election. there are 2 scenarios in, in the case of drugs, election as a person of the republic. ah, the 1st one is the doesn't agree man to retrieve the political forces that are composing his majority to set up another government. this is the best case scenario . the other scenario is the election of dragoon, but does not a cooperation among fully the parties very difficult to set up another government. and in this case,
8:24 am
drug is 1st love the republic in front of cows might decide to dissolve department and coming back to vote. i think the 1st scenario is more likely bought. we cannot exclude the 2nd one. all eyes will be here on parliament this week. we secret ballots will be cost in person and a co that protocols. the artist only needed a few minutes to finish his portrait. but it's going to be at least a few days before italian snow. if mario druggie will indeed be there. next president sports now and in bonus, take a soccer action on sunday by a munich easily beat. how to berlin reestablishing by and 6 point lead at the top of the table, i had a dormant, with their wind bye, and remained firmly in control of the title race. ah, fire munich visited the blue side of the capital for their clash against struggling hair to berlin. the reigning champions had beaten heritage in 6 of their last 7
