evacuated, many of their citizens on emergency flights of the, as i'm serious, indeed, hang sort of an easiest future. hundreds on foreign nationals, a heating home evacuation slides has been carrying citizens, mostly from european nations, loved ones, re you nice thing. back and rone and paris. after a hasty exit at one point, we really felt that sense of insecurity. we knew that everything to change at any moment, all of a sudden the situation felt on safe far and the offices have been coordinating to get as many people out as possible. more flights should showed for the coming days with the embassies keeping a close eye on developments. we are always in favor of a diplomatic solution. that is where embassy remains open and we will see what

happens. of course we are for the restoration of democracy. and we will see how that situation develops with them as foreign national sleep, the situation, the leaving behind looks increasingly precarious. nigeria, which supplies stephen cheapest, seem to me, she is electricity has cause its power supply to put pressure on crudely to me. i may has come death to purchase, supposing the one to attend violence on sunday, but the mood is still team the one to shows no sign of backing down. despite ultimatums from the eco wants block, we stand for can nation to reinstate asked and president mohammed by the one that could use military force as a last resort of the recent code a top. and there are probably gonna be just one window close while connected. what

is shown on the united response, we must present you how to use or to start engine won't have to go knows in the gym, hit on grid on, on. she had experiences which don't kind of deal with results. but of a neighbor states of banking, the code for the governments of the keen of fossil and molly headphones that any intervention will be seen as an act of war. the clock is ticking down to find a resolution with eager watch giving the when to until the end of the week to restore nature's democracy. emily's bernard is the director of strategic stabilization advisors. that's a firm that provides guidance to organizations and conflict owns. and i asked her how likely a diplomatic solution to the crisis was at this point. at this point it's not fully clear how likely that. busy be successful, obviously we're all hoping is and that there's some grounds for the act. busy celebration to at least manage

a restoration of constitutional order and hopefully some version of a transition towards democracy. that's the ultimate goal. but right now it's not fully clear. i think well known the coming days, how successful that is and will certainly see that with regards to actions taken by other neighboring countries with regards to closing the quarters or other kinds of economic sanctions. those will be huge indicators to see how well those conversations have gone. yet these sanctions things, measures that are being taken not only backwards, but also the world bank fail for example. and they're putting a lot of pressure on the home to. and i'm wondering how long can they keep the country up and running under the circumstances or right, well, and that's the thing to discuss, right? because it's, i know these numbers might be a little bit outdated, but when i used to live in a share in 2017, to 2019, uh, the statistics for something like nearly half of new jersey g p itself is driven by international aid. so obviously with not just sections from the world bank,

the other european partners were talking about a huge current, any kind of assistance this country is getting person mandatory and assistance. a significant portion of the country. busy as exclusively on access to food aid from the international community from w p. so if any of that gets cut, which could happen that will obviously certainly have impacts on daily lives, making some of the most vulnerable people in the world. and one of the poorest countries in the world, even that much more vulnerable progress speaking though i have got to say that even if the us does have secure use systems, which is most likely going to happen at this point that does not cutting, humanitarian and development aid for the rest government and the us does provide most of the funding to w a piece. so at least with regards to that, i think that we're a little bit. okay. but anytime you have a group of on rule, people who are losing access to basic resources for their ability to live every day, you'll see them start resorting to more desperate measures. and given that there are multiple jihad of scripts threatening multiple sides of the country,

we can only imagine that particularly in the periphery on the border. and you're going to see increased recruitment, right? you for the scripts. yeah. and these air has been the west key ally in the style for a long time. what will be the consequences if the country really descended into instability with all of these actors that you just mentioned, maybe seizing this moment. or there's a lot of really scary situations that can play out the one that i'm tracking the most right now, since i've been watching the expansion, or if you had a script since the whole and close to west africa over the past few years, is that new share was the root last remaining bulwark of stability, where the west had a pretty strong grasp on being able to repel and contain some of these. do you had a scripts that were operating kind of freely in volume burkina faso? if the share becomes an impermissible place and a less reliable printer for buster and security partners to operate in and also development partners who do provide a lot of that chartering, a bond extreme is on and i think they were going to see the potential for new sure

to become an open pathway for jihad us to expand their access and mobility, and then territorial expansion, intercoastal west africa, so not directly for and specifically that in and nigeria, there's also a lot of speculation about a russian influence through the wagner mercenary group. what's your assessment of, of the threats and not for him, maybe facing the country? yeah, so there's a lot of talk on social media right now that some of this might have been supplemented by gardner, where that russian dis, information has kinda escalated things. i don't see any bras each of those claims at this point. obviously there's stuff that we just don't have access to in terms of intelligence reports that might suggest otherwise. but it's my understanding that russia and or wagner group were not involved in this. that said, we have seen in malia burkina faso in particular, where they were involved in the actual to itself and the instability and the issues that led to the civilizations,

those democracies. but they came in afterwards and exploited the narrative, particularly the anti wester, an anti imperialism, an antique chair. it is the um, kind of emerge in lock step with the 2 military hunters at the same time. so i think that we can expect them to do. sure those are these bernard. many thanks. thank you so much for your time. thank you. donald trump is due to appear in the court in washington on thursday to face the latest and most serious charges against them. to date, prosecutors have brought for criminal charges relating to his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. the former us president and several of his allies are alleged to have conspired to subvert the transfer of power and keep him in office. despite knowing that he lost to jo bye, this may not be the 1st time trump has been criminally indicted. but it is the most serious legal threat he has faced so far. he has been charged with conspiracy to

defraud the united states and of the attempt to obstruct an official proceeding. a joint session of congress to certify president jo biden's 2020 election victory at the heart of this investigation did the january 6th attack when thousands of people storms the us capital capital, the special council jack smith who filed the indictment, his blame to trump for the violence the attack on our nation's capital. on january 6th, 2021. was an unprecedented assault. the seat of american democracy is described in the indictment. it was fueled by lies, lies by the defended, targeted at obstructing a bedrock function of the us government. and nations process of collecting,

counting and certifying the results of the presidential election, prosecutor say trump pushed fraud claims. he knew to be on true. we had an election that was stolen from us and pressured state and federal officials to alter the results of the 2020 election. well, i want to do is i just want to find a $11780.00 loads, which is one more that we have. they also alleged that he also inside at the january 6th riots on the us capital in a desperate attempt to clean power the we're going to walk down anyone you want, but i think right here we're going to walk down to the capital and we're going to do on our bruise, senators and congressmen and women,

trump is due to appear before federal court on thursday. despite his legal was, he remains the most popular republican running for president a federal jury in the us as recommended the death sentence for the gunman who carried out the deadliest anti semitic attack in the country's history. the 50 year old tudor storm to synagogue and pittsburgh and killed 11 worshippers in october of 2018. before the massacre at the tree of life synagogue, he spread his hatred for jews and white. supremacist believes online more. let's bring in the w. washington correspondent janelle, to my line. good to see you. a unanimous vote. 5 a jury there. what did they base their decision on? now when prosecutors saw up the death penalty in the 1st place, they base their decision on a series of criteria including one,

the meticulousness that went into the planning of this attack. the fact that it was pre meditated, another included the vulnerability of, of the victims of the fact that they were elderly. so the victims arranged in age from 54 to 97. the fact that the malware is targeted, people in their place of worship was also seen as a particularly weighty factor. and in the end, the jury agreed with all these views very completely rejected the prosecutions argument. that bowers was a script. so frantic and delusional, and that triggered him to do these crimes. now at this point, it's worth noting that this is the 1st time a federal jury has sent him someone to death under the by didn't administration. biden famously pledge when he was elected in 2022 and the federal death penalties. the fact that this is the sentence that we are seeing today, it goes to show just how convinced the jury is that the gravity of ours crimes

means that he should pay the ultimate price for them. what has been the reaction from, you know, the families of the victims and the jewish community in the us? now, the reactions from the jewish community, the victims, the families of the victims, the 3 congregations in the synagogue have been understandably mixed. now of course, this verdict goes a long way towards a forwarding everybody closure towards allowing them to hill and move on. but at the same time, there was never a singular position on whether bowers deserved the death penalty. one family rode after the verdict came out in a statement that the, the sentence to them represented a signal that heinousness the heinousness of this crime would not be tolerated. and for them that was a welcome signal. but at least one of prominence, a jewish anti capital punishment activist said that he was worried that this

sentence would make a more tear out of bowers, that it would inspire like minded anti semites to commit to similar crimes. so you can understand, however, that we're coming towards the end of what's already been a terrible sagal for everybody involved that. so there was an entire range of emotions to process here. and as such, everyone's feelings on the subject. and the reactions are understandably complex. we used to now them a line in washington dc. thank you so much for that update. just bring you up to speed now on some of the other stories making news around the world. today. brazilian authorities say at least 9 people were killed by police and a re targeting criminal groups, and realtors and narrow officials said police were attacked by armed individuals during the operation and the pena. for villa complex total of $42.00 people have been killed in similar operations. over the last 6 days.
