the the, you're watching the, the unit was coming to live from burly, military officers, declare a crew in government solver, say they've seized power and the rest of the president days asked for elections. meanwhile, frowns have shared the military in the capital naperville also coming up on the show, ukraine offends on the biggest aerial attack on tape since the spring explosions, rock the skies above keep over nights with 2 people reported kills. meanwhile, russia says, your brain has sent a wave of drones across the several regions. and you craning women bears in front

of a search and some gnostic violence cases. officials save hor, squat, scarred men are taking out their frustrations on their families. we meet some of the women seeking shelter, the hello, i'm claire richardson. thank you so much for joining us. a group of military officers claimed to have seized power in the central african countries doubling the crew came minutes after officials declared president ali bongo, the winner of recent elections. the military announced the countries borders had been closed and all state institutions dissolves. they said the president, some of his family and other government members had been arrested. meanwhile, crowds had been celebrating the crew in the capital leave for the so many face companies were up to a dramatic announcement on national tv by

a group of uniform men on wednesday morning. well now you look up on it and the name of the people of god, blonde and as guarantee are of the institutions we have decided to defend peace by putting an end to the current. present well gives you a month plus to this and the general election of $26.00 at august 2023 and the truncated results are cancelled. take a so i knew the incumbent president of the bunker on the inbox that claims victory and saturdays and actions. the result immediately disputed by the opposition bunker was running for the 3rd time and hoping to extend his forcing your ruler of the country. he took power in 2009 after his father woke up on foot over 4 decades, made election rival under also the cues, bongo fedex and fraud. after polls closed, the boat was month, accusations of pulling stations, hoping late,

and faulty election papers. the government cut the internet and pose the curfew after the election. tammy wanted to prevent unrest and the spread of fake news. phone girl has not been seen in public since costing has bothered on saturday. he said by the brief military coup station, 29 team. but as people too had soldiers on the streets of the capital neighborville, this new challenge will test the staying power once again. so for more or less turn to employ, they ins. and again, they are not a political economist from camera room, which border is gone. he's now a doctoral student at the university of cape town and also works as a research analyst for africa. risk consulting, welcome. after decades of one family, was this last election a tipping point and go on? it's a good afternoon. it is seemingly so the bumble family has been in power since 1967. and as a report indicated,

t the invalid president audible was interested by soldiers. while we need this piece of over 2009. and this was his 3rd election that he had. one is taking power . he has been these with domestic of discontent. there has also been a suspect. the economic down for the countries basically had some will. so, and then there's also been a lot of power to the countries and upper middle income, but then there's a 32 percent viewing and there's a 20 percent unemployment rate. then there's been the fact that the bundle found all these years. bytes having all of the access to resources to reach that is the, the benefits have been approved to the majority of the population. so those people cheering for the military. um, we saw can we understand that as widespread public support for this group. and it could be interpreted as such. the survey full done by october ometer has each

had stipulated that 66 percent of the nice people surveyed said that in the event that the elected leaders are losing power. they would not mind the military taking over to rectify the situation to look on it as well as where a train busy, whereby even the working party alexis are carried out on a regular basis. that is, every 7 years, the institutions of democracy, the rule of law, all based on bridge and by the view of the families, which happens where the various friday, the, the lady political regime, the, the military and security apparatus, as well as the phenomena social affairs. so that's kind of go over all of these side overtime teams where we with these most recent elections, we also see it in the context of a wider regional trend news. there's who just last month, for example. do you think what we saw happened there has in bold and the military

and galvan to try their luck? definitely leaving the different regions of different concepts. you can come to read. you can realize that there is the confusion of sorts of military who were in the military leaders in addition to whatever person this is they have. they are feeding up the grievances of the population which are unhappy with the government, which are unhappy with the production which are unhappy with the fact that the disability is a democracy, not free to the rest of society. so considering that not much has been done to counter these military schools in west africa. it assuming it seems that the japanese military establishment has taken advantage of it as use that the current state of affairs to attempt to take over power and government. and you have a sense of where things go from here. are we looking at potentially a transition to true democracy or will this result in years of military rule as

well? what i've always said is that the issue of religion who is that it is not, it doesn't exist in perpetuity. the military leaders understand that at some point they have to try and transfer power to civilian rule and re if it's impossible as an order. the situation are present is very fluid. we don't know why the corporate status of the, of the ongoing cool. um, it seems that is as if it's members of the republican guard. and the republican guard is led by general race thinking about who is been what's causing so we don't know whether it is family dynamics, whether it's a desire to preserve some aspects of the resume and just set aside the most undesirable aspects. or it could be a scenario where they are fines and actually re establish the whole some political associates and novel configuration of the country. so right now we can't tell but then it is a very, very fluid and very uh, expected situation. i've had a couple and drawing further and comparisons to the qu in new share. we saw after

that military takeover, people waving russian flags, questions about how much influence russia would be exerting there? do you expect to see similar and gone a no rush i have. do you agree with the exception of the central company? probably russia has very little influence in that region. france has been people who are arriving most influential. it's an arsenal power in dap one. most of the political indeed viewed within the last you in the offices as well as in the business. we can honestly all have very close ties to france. so it will be very unlikely for there to be any sort of a right. so corporate reference basically, when you consider that a lot of the andrews, you're not necessarily towards a security situation. there's no decrease in the security. there's no particular 3rd grade in that one, but rather socially phenomena reading suzanne, you know, and it's worth the fact that the family has been in power for over 60 years. so in

that regard, i think that there would still be easily international the hours. but then there wouldn't be some sort of opening sports rush. well, thank you so much for joining us on the news about for the enlightening interview. that is great and say greatly on our political economist now with university of cape town. thank you very much and have a russian officials. i say ukraine has launched one of its a biggest weights and thrown attacks since the start of the war. one runs right for part of the target. the western region of scarf, near the border with a stone and lafayette, its governor said ukrainian drones hit an airport and damage several military aircraft. they're russians, military also claim to have more of a ukrainian naval a tank on the black sea, destroying 4 boats caring up to 50 paratroopers. the claims could not be verified. the issue of wisdom and ukraine's as an overnight barrage of russian missiles and

firms as killed at least 2 people in cave. debris from targets intercepted by the cities. air defenses fell on several buildings. officials said it was the most powerful aerial assault on the training of capital in knots of so many in keys. it was another sleepless night. official said more than 20 russian missiles and drones were shut down by ed defenses. but folding debris still brought death and destruction to ukraine's capital. key of authority said it was the biggest russian to attack months with drones and cruise missiles coming in from multiple directions for residents. it's another reminder that even hundreds of kilometers from the front line, no one's out of reach of rushes will. honestly, it's very scary. it's incredibly scary. i have to go to work now and i don't know how i will get the most time going to do. i work as a teach at the school,

and i don't know how i'm going to look at the children. but despite all the product and gloss and baton of 18 months old from russia's full scale invasion, many residents remain determined to study. everyone has started over the summer. it doesn't mean we will give up anything to anyone, never. they'll never give up anything. we didn't take anything from anyone. improved ukraine ad defense is strengthened by equipment from west and the allies have helped reduce the impact of rushes air attacks. but the latest rates demonstrate once again the ukrainians in keys and elsewhere would be truly safe until the war is over. and do you have these corresponding to my taste in boiling? i think chief and he told us more about these recent attacks of the the was especially bad if you count the number of rockets and besides being fired at the

keys and also other places. but all of them have been shut down the majority here over to you, and also some uh, new odessa, which um is actually a place where until the now uh, air defense was not as effective. so uh, it seems that they have invested, or they have to improve the defenses around odessa. hearing key people have died as it has often happened in these might be a tax from falling debris that has been some damage. but none of these besides had hit the target to and most of the drones will also shut down one to do it's according to the official fee goes. we also must so take into account that they might not tell us everything. one has not been shut down, so it's pretty much photos. the pattern that we've seen throughout the spring where these attacks were really massive brand and frequent post a launch dro uh,

drones to activate the defense is maybe to try to exhaust them. and then these messiahs keep slight. yeah. meanwhile, russia has accused to crane of the biggest pro, an attack on russian soil. since the full scale invasion, has there been any reaction from keith to that so you really hear the sentence. this is what we are behind this a. we have done this a, we have launch these drones from key for, for shows. but you will awesome here. very, let's say many details about the operations or some hints that uh, this was done by ukraine. and if you look at it, realistically, russia is really at war with one country in the world and methods ukraine. so there's not much guessing with to be done uh, to launch these jos. steve has come into the military uh intelligence. i have

commented that, uh uh for claims have been destroyed for a trans put place of a bias of the russian army. but they've also given me the detail that these were plays involved in the 1st attack on key even these that was some of the plays that were meant to land on this airport and the key for storm it in order to capture the city. so these are of course details that somebody would all disclose if they had a really interest in these trying these planes to help in the tax all over the territory of russia and occupied crimea. so this was quite a large scale operation. and as people, he is the one that i successfully destroyed some of russia's military infrastructure. well, thank you very much. as always for your reporting. that's due to be as correspondent mathias point and in case ukraine. the wars also fueling a new wave of violence at home traumatized men returning from the battle fields or

those who can't cope with the economic hardship or taking their frustrations out and their families have used correspondence a for him for 4, it's 4 days ago, hugo was still living in fear. now she can have breakfast in peace with her children at this women's shelter near to you have to know you guys beat that. i'm bruised all over. i have bruises everywhere i had one on my head. my blue eye is gone now. huge me like that option to show you. it's, julia tells me her partner was always violent to her. but things got worse when russians occupied the southern, her son area where they lived, as well as with factories closing. her partner lost his job and use the little they had to buy alcohol. when she complained she did not have enough to feed her 5 children. she would batter her. yes and yes, in the pit. thoughts of my eldest son is 16 years old. just such mom. what are you

waiting for? i waiting for him to q, you are off. i get to a lot of support from my son. a one time she was beating me in front of my son, my door to open the window and child to to the neighbor is killing mom. i probably should have conceded to whether it was the water leaving with him earlier. i just didn't know what i would do with my children. yeah, that too short, a registered cases of domestic violence initially fell at the beginning of the full scale invasion as millions for their homes for felt like it was just not the right time to afford the abuse. but as people have been returning to their homes or finding new ones, cases had stored this year, according to police data. was reno sure snow heads and newly formed special unit at the general prosecutor's office. it's dedicated to investigating cases of domestic violence. she's convinced the spiking numbers of domestic cases is connected to the

work for them in your school full. and then there are tons of prisoners of war from captivity. civilians from captivity changes communication in the family. also the difficult financial situation of forced migrants, unemployment. of course, all these factors that lead to an increase in cases of domestic violence was up to you was reaching out with up to the muscular fix the kitchen items. to me, the type of shelter julia is cleared that the war made her partner more violent than before. you for austell had not invaded, none of this would have happened. you would be able to support ourselves. i think i really think would be fine with work. another thing for the women trying to help you, we a get back on her feet. the word makes no difference. their focus is on her, not him the curriculum, but i have some of the challenge is there to these women need to be taught to live with themselves. so they need to learn to love themselves as they are to accept

themselves as of the money room and doing of loved themselves. and because of these, they often stay in such relationships and this to kind of just became a big loss. and then what is working towards finding a job. she says she's determined. she'll never again depend on an abuser to feed her children. let's speak to jessica for you on rel, from the finish of finish foundation, a women's rights organization called women to women in swedish. she's co authored a report on gender based violence in conflict affected countries including ukraine . we really appreciate you taking the time to speak with us on this important issue . can you tell us what your report found about how the war in ukraine has affected violence against women? yes, absolutely. uh, we are picking up some days and we support several local women's rights organizations and women's shelters that we've been talking tools about inviting

this report. and they, oh, actually seeing an increase in domestic violence in this last year. and it's very clear to us that this is connected to the board and it's not done in increasing violence, but also improved to my station of the volume. so help us better understand what kinds of pressures are at play within a family or a partnership that lead to violence against women at home. all as well. i would say that one person stuck in a conflict situation. they're living under constant spear, which obviously affects their mental health and wellbeing. and in addition to that, they may not be able to go outside, need their homes or go to work and make a living. and all of this creates an immense pressure for the family unit, and the student increase in domestic violence. and in ukraine, what opportunities are available for them to seek help if they are so brave as to look outside of the household as well. which is also mentioned that maybe you know,

the total amount that a lot of the men have gone through being at this trump line for, for a long time means that they are old, often, and treated as have mental health problems. and sometimes also men have more access to, to athens now and firearms. so there are a lot of things that play now that have made all the environment is much worse. and the women have a lot of her adults. and when he comes to seeking help for suits important times and the domestic violence is widely seen as a private master in ukraine's to which means that a lot of women do not report these crimes were seek outside help. and in addition to that, a lot of women don't want to trouble the police now that the war is going on. we've also met women who have tried to report these crimes, but being told that by police officers that their husbands of war heroes and, and the police are not interested in investing more here. so the way the worth of

women's shelters who can offer women in this case is absolutely essential. and at the women's shelters that we support women and their children could come and live in protected spaces and at these shelters. they can also get help to get medical supports like the social support, legal age and financial support, or help to arrange on warranty travels so that they can leave that here sir. yeah. so if there is someone at least watching this interview out there, excuse me for jumping and if there's someone's who's watching, who's subject to gender based violence and also caught in the middle of a conflict zone. what would your advice be to them? options are available or you should absolutely seek help. there are thoughts lines on the women's shelters available. so don't hesitate to seek help, never minimize what you are experiencing. these are serious crimes and a lot of time. and they also lead to actually women dying. so never minimize what

you're going through and there is health out there. but they are the resources for these are and scares and countries affected countries and even ukraine. we've seen that at the same time as the increase in domestic violence. but it's gone up. there's also been a decreasing funding, so it will be important also to have more funding for these services. okay, well thank you very much for joining us on the nose with that clear call. but it's yes, it got for you on road with sweden's extended hooks, and i'm many thanks. thank you very much. let me take a look now at some other stories making headlines at this hour. several of us states have declared emergencies as they prepare for the arrival of hurricane and dalia is expected to make landfall later today as an extremely dangerous category for storm residents in florida, georgia and south carolina. have all been warned of the catastrophic impacts of strong winds and flooding. china has arrested 5 officials on suspicion of under
