tonight, dozens of people have died in a wildfire in hawaii on the islands of malware. the blaze have turned one of the islands to story towns into ash devastating the harbor and surrounding hearings and and ecuadorian presidential candidate. it has been assassinated just days before the election, speaking out against corruption and drug violence that may have gotten into the library golf is good to have you with us on this thursday. the leaders of west african countries, the group known as eco, was met today in order to the deployment of a stand by force that could be sent into new share. observers say that the language here is intentionally vague, but the message is intended to be clear. if news here is military rulers or do not

reinstate the countries democratically elected president, it could put new share on a collision course with its neighbors. we have more now in this report. we stand for can leaders arrived in a boucher to move the next move? it urgent, amazing, came off to me. she has one to ignore the ultimatum to stand down from the power grab principles. the group sees all diplomatic efforts to result, the crisis has been rejected by the military lead is now the ramping up the pressure to restore democracy. is showing this directive, direct the committee of the chief of defense stuff, to activate the equity done by force with all its elements immediately order the deployment of the equity fund by force to restore constitutional order in the republic of news yet. but it still isn't clear what that will look like with

a stand by force, likely to take weeks, if not longer, to assemble the block. and so reiterated its commitment to finding a peaceful resolution. earlier the hunter took the national tv to announce a new government with me, she is deposed. presidents mohammed bosom still, and the house erased. concerns of growing about his well being. we're aware of recent reports that president mohammed presume of new share and his family are living without electricity, water, food, or medicine. and i can see the following. as the secretary general is very concerned over the deplorable living conditions that president presume and his family are reported to be living under as it continued to be arbitrarily detained by members of the presidential guard in new here. as the political did, law continues the people of media a wary because today if we look everywhere, we can see everywhere there's lights up lights of night. so i think it's going to

better to use it 40 to ship. i mean, interview, not military. instead of a tough sanctions on media maintenance, struggling with rolling power caps and supply chain disruptions, creating food and susan tea for residents, a wasting the next move in the countries future. the earlier i spoke to the w as west africa, corresponding to america acoya and who was covering the story for us from nigeria. and i asked her to walk us through eco watches, decision to activate this stand by force. and i think that's a very important question. that you of us to brent or when most of us listen to parents and thought to statement it was not clear exactly what the mean does not mean troops essentially on ground. i need that's what it means. does a mean just choose uh, which presents i know those sort of aggression perhaps? what does that clearly mean? i didn't see again if you, if you listen to all that kind of these, you know, have been talking about, especially when that statement came out of the,

the fact that you wasn't having to put in any pause in any country is quite competent in tends to you so it was also invested to see that it's easy to the country is even if the means of chips, the countries that are going to contribute, well, what's the, you know, how much, what's with the results this will be coming from. again, that's clearly not put out, but yet they didn't mention that they're going to activate the force in all these elements. we weren't doing the least also, i've seen very small sense of aggression arthritis as is perceived in the fence. so be a just message in the most with us today, brent they go watch has also called on the african union to endorse its decisions on news here. we know that eco box would also like to have you when backing what difference would that make? i suppose that's because of the nature of the things that i've gone on in these are this cool has also been a positive split. you know,

the members of the blog and so equal was with one's to do everything within his pod to be sure that it goes to the bike. you know, if it can, you know, you know, it's a be so that the speaking from the same size of mild as they say, all the time people have really said there is no difference between the 2 bodies between equal us and a you. but yes, because i asked him that $10.00 is you know, or that the 90 is essentially also saying, please, i agreed to this time. so i agreed to everything that we have said so that the was all you know, region abroad would see to be communicating on having his time stands up, you know, as far as his vision is concerned to us vision these years and co leaders, they defined the last deadline that was imposed by eco y, so you know, the last weekend and even yesterday they've gone so far as to name a new government. we understand that, but half of the cabinet positions are going to civilians, but the other half are going to the military. i mean,

how likely is it that this one to is going to back down? that means less likely, you know, at that spot of the incentive ends we are getting because having to also establish their leadership and sort of consolidate the position that they're not backing out . i'm having to. ready strategically, there's really to see uh, besides the people that will be in charge, i guess and such so message you know, to, because to say, i think i know it's really moving out any time. so we don't know. maybe that's going to change because especially how because there's also speaking very strongly 2 sides on the need for them to go see it avoids i unplugged dialogue more i'm see for peaceful resolution. i mean, yeah. same side as grades and stuff from the i have. there's going to be some sort of compromise, but yes, that's out of having to our leadership establish is quite a strong message. you see with that also to the body generality. yeah, yeah,

it definitely doesn't look like they're planning to change their mind anytime soon . it will be as west africa, corresponding, unlike a, according to joining us tonight. america. thank you. let's take a look now some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. ukraine says a russian strike on a civilian building ins. every g a has killed at least one person. this is the 2nd attack. on the southern city, it has many days. the city is about 50 kilometers from europe's biggest nuclear power plant. ukraine has announced a humanitarian court door to allow dozens of cargo ships that have been trapped in its black sea boards to finally leave safely. but the ukrainian navy is warning that risk remained for mines in russian attacks. la scale has ramped up strikes on ukraine's boards ever since withdrew from a deal which allowed a green exports. it withdrew last month of us special council. jag smith has asked the judge to begin the donald trump's trial on january. second. the former us
