how they can with how they can also terribly watch it. now you too. ah, this is d, w y from berkeley, and the leader of book in a faster military judge is himself ousted in a military coup army rabble than i was dave overthrown. hold on, read to me, but to spend the constitution and dissolve the government. west african countries saw it last qu, just 9 months ago, also on the program, russia formally and illegally annex for regents of ukraine as an improvement

science decrease to recognize them as russian territory and promises to defend them with all the available means. western leaders say they will never recognize the ah, i'm feel go welcome to the program president of burkina faso paul on read to me, but has been ousted in a military coat. the soldiers who over through him save to solve the government and suspended the constitution. according to a statement read out by an army captain on state television, earlier explosions and heavy gun fire were reported near the presidential palace in the capital wagon do good. leave us military. just a seized power just 9 months ago. and henry wilkins is in bettina faster capital. why do i asked him,

what's known about the where out whereabouts of the asked did president this stage showing since the needs of the explosions and the gunfire in the capital this morning became known. we haven't seen him publicly, it's all so there are a lot of rumors and misinformation flying around at the moment. some have said that his house was surrounded this morning by troops and there was sound of gunfire just after lunch time. this off to me in the vicinity of the presidential palace. so there is a good chance that he is under by the ship. and who is the new leadership who is in charge now what, what do we know of that? so it's a. busy a, it's the name that we are, we have at the moment. he's no very well known figure. literally this nice is just

broken. so i think a himself came to power in the military. q in january was relatively obscure until the key to happen in that. now seems to be the case we've, we've been the leader of the country. ok, so the sounds like a falling out within the sort of the military brass, and we've seen a picture across the day people actually celebrating what was going on the. so this seems to have been welcome, if unexpected. yeah, i mean, i think they have been legal out on the streets today for celebrating already having been a military. the numbers have been relatively small, vice versa. certainly there are a lot in the book canarvy population and these things in the army

who have been frustrated by the member and his regime and their inability to go on the on the insecurity. and as you say, yes, there's also been a lot of talk of inviting, especially between the special forces of the back of the military. and there are some sorts. it could be the result of interest between those special forces. ok, thank you for that journalist henry wilkinson. burkina faso vladimir potent has proclaimed the annexation of 4 occupied ukrainian regions, violating international law and drawing condemnation from the west. move. it's a combination of a series of hastily arranged votes last week that have been widely condemned as a sham. the land grab marks on escalation in russia's war against ukraine and the

russian president says he'll use all means to defend the territories that he now claims for the russian federation. treat as a big domestic wind production as will not be put in joint hands, but typically did an officially an exit for region. a few green, the white charts, russia infiltration into so many fun fitting pump boot and has a clear method for his opponents. i just of the me else lose want keep and i real masters in the west to hear me the way so that everyone remembers this. would you people living in no hands got done? asked her son on supper is here a becoming our citizens for ever let see whither the celebration is in stark contrast to district ality. dozens of people killed and wounded in what you korean faith for. methyl strikes on a civilian conway evaporation. one of the next street and defined ukraine. faith,

it is asking nato for quick accession my mind would only the path of strengthening ukraine and ousting the occupiers for my entire territory. this will restore peacefully. we will follow this path over to the end themes level. russia annexation announcement has been vitally condemned. it's designed as a step to intensify the nuclear threat or do the rest of the world. the rip union unequivocal, rejects intern demps. these either going stations, there is disappointment among ukrainians to sir. ah, the real estate this, this is a terrorist way of violently taking away territories. people that have been formed and attached to ukraine a very long time ago. the war, my reaction to this is sharply negative with arc simone love to supplies. you know, yesterday the mystery deal, i think what is happening is lawless anymore. there is no other way to put it. some

moses $91.00 yet know that those what's not scary and unclear is what will be next to the gym. we have no idea how this will and that a sad while in russia put in if it sounded pay allies celebrating to move internationally. his bound to 5th isolation of paul good is professor of russian studies at calvin university in canada. he told me more about the purpose of today's events in red square. it was very clearly, i think, a speech for domestic consumption. and it was striking that he firstly frame today's events in relation to 2014, of course, when russia and ex crimea. and the stage referendum in crimea that sort of, you know, gave us some modicum of legitimacy or saw some modicum legitimacy for that annexation . and so that was pointedly reference today as an attempt to save c. we've

effectively done this again. but what was further striking was that put in repeatedly referenced 1991 and the breakup of the soviet union and all of the perceived injustices flowing from that. in a sense, this was very much a nakedly imperialist speech that was designed for domestic consumption to help people understand why they were feeling all these consequences arising from russia's invasion of interest and use those words as nakedly imperious. because during his address, he actually, as he talks about having taken extra territory on russia, been accused is the western america of imperialism, which is kind of ironic. it's a, it's not the 1st time pollutant has made a long career of taking especially criticisms of the west and flipping them around and vice versa. one of the things that i think was especially present you, no problem was that the bulk of the speech really was devoted to attacking the west

and especially attack and attacking the united states. but observers up noted that a lot of the complaints that button raised about the west and about the united states were really complaints about, you know, what russia has been doing and internationally. and one of the unintended consequences. i think of precisely this kind of speech, this kind of window dressing is that it will effectively retroactively d legitimate rushes annexation of crimea, which hasn't actually been recognized by most states around the world. but at the same time, most people internationally, i think we're willing to tolerate if not recognize the annexation of frame. yeah. now that those are linked together with today's annexations, it appears much less convincing. and hindsight, does annexation in any way change the way that russia conducts this war? well, it's, it's hard to say that it would change anything significantly. of course, person wants to crate the specter that an attack on these annex territories to

day would now be an attack on russia proper. and that russia will be prepared to retaliate, potentially with nuclear weapons. that seems to me highly unlikely for a number of reasons. but most significantly that claiming territory in an active voice own as one's own and then threatening to retaliate. actually probably has the opposite effect of strengthening credibility weakens rushes. credibility to use nuclear weapons by precisely the sort of reckless gamble to try to draw hasty end to the conflict. and at the same time, the counter move course by ukraine was to apply immediately for newton membership. and so it's highly unlikely that anything will change on the ground, certainly not in the short term. as a pull good from calvin university in canada, speaking to me at atlanta. will you, as president joe biden responded to the russian declaration by replacing that his country would not to recognize the results of sham referendums. oh,

they are illegal. annexation american shall eyes are not going. man. procession are not going to be intimidated. are not going to be intimidated by putting that is reckless words of threats. he's not going to scare us and he doesn't or intimidated prunes actions are assigned. he's struggling shamarie t the put on this morning and showing the unity and you know, as people holding hands together when the united states is never going to recognize us. and quite frankly, the world's not going to recognize it either. america's fully to pair prepared with our nato allies to defend every single inch of native territory every single and so mr. prudent don't misunderstand what i'm saying. every inch. okay, w correspondent, catalina to moy told me more about the white house reaction. was we know, as well as, as the other western leader is already did,

the as administration has condemned to russia's annexation as illegal as well as the referendum at the same time the bag, an administration announced today, new sanctions in response to the criminals and mover and these new sanctions will impose export controls on any individual entity or a country that provides political or economic support to these attempts of annexation. and from russia, by ministration says, they have already put in place authorities and that enable them to control this in a very, in a very fast and very efficient way any sanctions will. so a target, additional government officials, leaders, estate, do members who are complicit in these actions and also the central bank, a governor in russia. yes, it's also sanctioning a ration and been a russian and military officials as well as international suppliers, supporting russia and military industrial complex. and furthermore,

the administration amounts today that they will increase their support for ukraine . president biden will signed today. legislation from congress that contains $12000000000.00 in additional funding for you crate. the national security advisor also said that they will continue to support ukraine, defend its territory. i do d, occupy those parts that russia has occupied. thank you for that kind of in a database corresponded kelly that your boy washington will take a look now at some more news from around the world, at least 19 people have been killed in a suicide bombing. as an education center in cobble, dozens mall were injured off, county police serve your top carry with students who are taking university practice at entrance exams. your alien, all sorts is arrested. 9 europeans, i say, were involved in anti government demonstrations around claims. foreign enemies of protests that have not entered the 3rd week. it was parked by the death in police custody of a woman arrested for allegedly preaching islamic dress,
