at this moment we understand that it's a 60 pool, but it's not 65 percent of you the, this is the post if you're going to be storage and lots of me, i mean the numbers will be ready to be used to the 5 i have to not be in a stop is exactly what was the cause, the off the fly of much around me at this moment. so there is some of the moments where people are looking for the family name. so the trunk shaken way that they august. so the inside of the building seized all of the other family members. one of the people that have been taken to local hospitals as well as firefox is also here trying to make millions off stopping the fire. and we also tune back to the people that have in ales the smokers. that's all. and that's a very critical states around me, or rather just behind me is what people, i'm not sure you can see, but i'm just going to move away from the shots. so you can just check as a group of people, that's all weight. so i think there's a, there's a list of people, a pre, fox,

3 people not searching for the number of people and people to not know exactly just how many people live in the building. and if you know anything about your hand, this bug, you also know that these are building buildings that happened in the background, or is that used to belong to government tax and fees of little things. but we have lots of registers i'm registered. so that becomes such as to i just people from outside of the business. so that's exactly where the concern is because it's just the people that are cry, ask people that are not a problem. so last week, cache, and you can only imagine how much that would be, that is what we should, that is, if a person is not somebody because they don't have to be those documents to business, i forget and they happen to be in this building without the mdf for almost paper, so that's exactly what we are dealing with now off, but as we continue to take notes and mortgage, so the story, it's a little bit bringing you some of the families of the victims that have to be looked to see the well, the big things that have the language came from local hospitals, but at the moment,

for now the number that'd be a boat that i'm mentioning is exactly what we are the week of archie, who responded no, we couldn't get updating us. thank you know the you and now to are developing stories, senior galvan military officials have appointed the head of a transitional government that's tough for the country was shaken by a military to visit a general bri. so again, grandma has been unanimously appointed chairman of the committee for the transition and restoration of institutions. and president of the transition, the president and of the transition insist on the need to maintain calm and serenity in our beautiful country. is made a commitment to preserve the economy, insurance, social prosperity being of the dawn of a new era, we will guarantee peace, stability, and the dignity of our dear good born. now earlier on wednesday senior galban these

army officers had declared they had seized power. placing president ali, bundle under house arrest, wallace son was detained for treason. and for option, you also have leader delivered a message to the nation confirming, be a referral, a manual ordering back president of god. and i'm to send a message to all the friends that we have order would work to tell them to make noise, to make noise for the people here of the races. me and my my saw you somewhere my what he's, he's another place and i, the rest is right now. our directions and nothing. nothing is on. i don't know what's, what's going on. so i'm calling you to make the noise to make noise.

make noise. so some quick background presidential in parliamentary elections took place and gone last week. tensions were running high and mid fears of unrest after saturday's vote with international observers, claiming a lack of transparency in the process. on wednesday, the governor's election center confirmed that incumbent president bongo had officially won a 3rd term as president, with 64.27 percent of the vote. the oil rich country has been under the bongo family's role since 1967. and while western countries have unanimously condemned the military over throwing up on some locals, welcome the events as a liberation. this footage from the bond shows locals taken to the streets in celebration after the president was deposed. the military has assured the former we're is safe and also shared a list of people who are arrested on allegations of fraud investments and other

charges we heard from some locals who share their thoughts on the recent developments. it does seem to be the country's doing well. i've been a week since 4 am and everything has been organized. so there is no violence when we leave libra ville, we find that everything is supervised, we are finally liberated. i would say for me, this is the real independent. stay this on the other. we are liberated because we see it today as a liberation we demonstrated and the police were on our side. there were no clashes, it was quiet. we think these brave gentlemen who participated in this, especially us young gap in the students. we are happy because we want change we're here at the so cool. busy the square of democracy, but we will now call this place to square freedom from august 30th. the galleries are happy, we don't want outside interference. we don't want biased comments. we don't want

people coming to lecture us. we also spoke with a group on based analyst who says the people of the central african nation seek to take their fate into their own hands and free themselves from their colonial past of the bundle system as been in place. so if they had a friends, and i mean, since i think 3 o'clock in the morning, people out on the streets of a weird thing, nobody will go out say i've seen for the president to come back in power. i mean, since saturday a governess went to election since the to the internet went down. nobody from the international community defense or anybody. nobody came up asking for the president or anybody to bring back the internet. nobody spoke about the government. not that the government is up sticking to fruit you into defense. this is amount of governance and we will deal with it as www. so as of so we don't need any injection . we've heard that defense spence as a button for it to come then to quit. they've been keeping these guy into our

indies. find me do for like 54 years. first. as teens the soap or independence the been putting into our puppets that were just the money polluting and doing whatever they want. using the countries, daniel after guns in the ocean, was realized that this is done to get away as well, the dump them being in new kind of new to shipping to the countries. and what is happening and govern. it's just, i mean the, what us started in west africa and they should then be surprised that the whole sense, well, i forgot just full, unsurprisingly, to many western countries, quickly condemned the military over throw in the bond, and called for the immediate restoration of the elected government that's despite multiple reports of violations during the recent elections. the u. k condemns the

unconstitutional military takeover of power and to bonum calls for the restoration of constitutional government. we acknowledge concerns raised regarding the recent electoral process including restrictions on media freedom and the actual policies and citizens to commit to and follow legal and constitutional process is to resolve any electoral disputes. to us is deeply concerned by evolving events in good long we remain strongly opposed to military seizures or unconstitutional transfers of power. we urge those responsible to release and ensure the safety of members of governments and their families and to preserve civilian rule. and despite the bond being an independent country since 1960 francis still heavily invested in its domestic politics, talk french officials were quick to condemn the government over throwing a bond and called for the restoration of constitutional order. the whole school diamond friends condemned the military coup,

taking place in gabon and friends follows without most attention to the develop a situation and reforms that the results of the elections should be respected zone once again. during this year, the action of the french diplomatic network has been marked by the response to several major crises. the situation is done and the remarkable organization of the location of our nationals, the core, the top in the share and know the situation and up on that we're following with the utmost attention. we also spoke to a policy analyst at development, re imagine. he said that the military coup in gabon differs from the situations in neighboring countries, as there is a history of direct french intervention in the central african states. to clean up on a waste on very surprising in the sense that if you go back in 2016, the electronic that was monitored, scroll down the back specialist. and by the process of the elections, this is any doubt. suppose that and you just one on election the fist chelsea gets

to make a p and he's talking to the community. nothing is to be 64 percent of citizens who put the name of the book that for him. and i think that tells you everything you need to know about the, let's say about going on under the director, the pushes go on to investigate team on the funding. they will find so many issues of core options. and i'm busy, mental phones come into actually we offer in many french compet company's sales on tylenol deluxe. and it'll be interesting to see what's out base costs the economic community of central africa institute. i believe the risk thing would be copy across these the blueprints tripping that i've been shown, that they're taking out, they're going from, from the, from the region of blog is true of the experience, intervention, and gamble. and i think it was very interesting how different on all of the, with the west of you, our memories on august the are responding to the school. very likely the might take

some form of some form of action. the queen got boeing is very different from the cool in other countries, and i think the sticks this evening, but it is much higher. forefront in particular. we now turn to a need year, another african nation that experience the now famous qu, last month. the countries, new leadership has reportedly given france for days until september, 3rd, to withdraw all troops notifying all security agreements with paris, a local scene to show increasing hostility to the presence of french troops in the country. hundreds of women gathered outside an airbase in the capital, demanding the withdrawal of all french troops from the facility. friends, something around 1500 troops in here as part of a so called long term anti terror mission. they have so far rejected demands to leave the base as they say that whose government has no authority to issue such

orders. local residents have been outraged by their refusal the will to make noise and save the ready with the equipment we have for women. oh, 1st equipment is kitchen utensils, whatever is the work of the woman. when she comes home, she takes her utensils the. this is why we said that today. we do this with our own materials. whichever her position, she always has us in hand. we're here to tell from the times have changed. they need to respect us, they need us, but they just don't want to respect us. for me as toward the use of the bothers me, why are they going to refuse to leave? is their country? is there territory? did we call them were asked for their presence? know they came on the wrong because they have things to watch out for. you have a specific economic objective. they care about their economy. they are there. we

didn't call them. when you are in the foreign territory, when things are not going well, you have to leave on your own. we don't even need to challenge you to the point of giving you an ultimate of needs or is in a precarious situation facing multiple sanctions. both firms african neighbors and former western partners. the one, however, has urged the west african block eco los to make an exception for humanitarian supplies to the country. as over 4000000 people are in need of assistance, but the e u appears to be moving forward with sanctions pressure, considering new sanctions on these year, according to a statement by the you foreign policy chief on wednesday is clear that the cool new year is opening up a new era of instability in origin, which is already very fragile. we're moving forward for an until one of the sanctions regime to take actions against the purchase work has already started and

tomorrow the foreign affairs of ministers will advance on that to the situation. any here has seemingly triggered a diplomatic earthquake with countries divided into blocks, supporting and warning against the invasion of the country planned by equal loss one supporter of the new powers burkina faso has approved sending a military contingent to the country to help fight terrorism. while new jersey neighbor, algeria has proposed a 6 month transition plan for the country, despite the new leaders requesting 3 years. meanwhile, so french investigator has ignored name is demands to leave the country as both france and the you do not recognize its new authorities. we heard from civil society activists stand by just on a law who says the people of nature supports the 2 and will continue to push for the french to leave their country. so many minutes is off. we're pretty preventative. we have lived more than a month under the sanctions to the affect our lives. we have become immune for the

honor, dignity and sovereignty of these year. where are those who are imposing the sanctions? now it is they who are shouting for the sanctions to be lifted. the share is with its people and its people are not going to suffer because of the sanctions. today we have the platforms through which we can lead our lives to such a situation. people don't regret that they have become engaged in this fight and are ready to bear the consequences for achieving our goals. as for the stabilize ation of these year, we know very well that in almost all cases it's just blackmail. we don't want the stabilization in these year, even among the enemies of these year. there are those who don't want the stabilization of the share macro and had to say that some of his allies, especially the us, are not in the same line, is france. anyway, it must be clear, there will be no destabilization of our country, please god,

our country will remain and will develop further despite the people who wish to seem easier destabilized for their own interest. new share will grow and succeed. god willing to russia has vetoed a draft resolution to renew sanctions against molly and the un security council meeting, calling them counterproductive. really stupid. and we had convinced that adopting the document as it is. but for the given the fact that democracy had made an efficient demand to boys the sanctuary, james would become to productive both funds here and the efficiency of the sanctions regime. and for the value and peace process. the council impose sanctions on molly in 2017, to implement the 2015 peace agreements between the government and rebels. the sanctions include asset freezes and travel bands for those who, according to the experts of the un sanctions committee,

hinder the implementation of the treaty. russia has proposed its own resolution to limit the sanctions on molly, which was a band and by the security council are to corresponded kayla mauppin frances, more of the un security council. his vote was taken on a resolution. continuing sanction against molly and russia stepped forward to veto that resolution saying that this resolution that would have continued sanctions on any one who did not uphold the 2015 piece agreement, was not being done in the interests of sheets as the russian ambassador and eventually applauded the agreement was essentially put into effect without discussing it, with the molly side, and was essentially jeopardizing the ability of the un to work out agreements and result conflict in the country in the future. and you saw the customer, despite the fact that we repeatedly asked for a constructive approach and

a sense of a compromise to the rich chicks. the techs did not, in any way take into consideration the consent of the mother's side or the russian federations position before the vote would clearly laid out our reasons. that's what behind tell decisions developers against, within high base views. now the western leaders made a point of them using their platform at the un security council to point fingers and level allegations at both russia and the wagner group. however, the russian representative emphasized that their goal was to make sure that stability continued. not just in molly and in the entire region, and they saw the package of sanctions, which had been already requested to be over turned by molly authorities as being one sided and not in the interest of producing stability and defeating terrorism in the region. all of this comes as you and for us is and other regional forces are

being withdrawn from molly in light of the change in leadership in the country. now that the military leads and the political situation in mileage molly is rapidly changing. we see a situate a san where russia has veto the sanctions that have been imposed on the country and would have continued as a result of the 2015 resolution. russian energy supplies are in high demand in the european union reports say, with the u importing record volumes of russian liquefied gas. according to the latest findings, that's a spite russell's plan to cut down dependency on russian fossil fuels are t contributor rachel mars and gives her take a hi europe and russian energy. it's a tale of for been in love and despite brussels, loudly announcing to the whole world fail breakup with and totally replace russian fossil fuels by 2027. apparently

b. u has been playing footsie under the table with brushing gas while many just assume that the relationship totally flew up along with the north stream pipeline network that carried rushing gas directly into europe. but now it turns out that russia is the 2nd top provider of liquefied natural gas to the u. the 1st, the united states, which was quick to get in there to replace north stream pipeline gas from russia. kind of like a guy who tells you to break up with your know good partner and then asked to out on a date, according to western and g. o is which has been hiding out in the bush with binoculars watching brussels get down and dirty with brushes and liquefied natural gas. the e u is now import a 40 percent more l n g, then imported from russia back in 2021. before the you create conflict replacing some of that russian pipeline gas with russian super chilled l. n. g gas. it's

shocking that countries in the you have worked so hard to women cells of pipes, the russian fossil gas need to replace it with the shipped equivalent. it doesn't matter if it comes from a pipeline or boat, it still means european companies ascending billions to pollutants. wal chest, because you create has given western angio is the perfect pre tax for a convergence of causes. they go after russian fossil fuels for ukraine and also their western partners. corporations like to frances total, for example, in some cases. but it also serves their longstanding climate change agenda. and brussels itself has said that it's the perfect time with all of this going on to go all in on renewables as we can, and to get the redirection guess completely as soon as possible. still keeping in mind our security of supply, i encourage all member states and all companies to stop by and rush, and ellen g, a note to sign any,

you guess contracts with russia once the existing contracts have expired. yeah, click everyone, follow the great example of green germany where they're already dismantling a wind farm to expand a coal mine sounds like a resounding success when it comes to energy strategy. apparently staying in belgium, in particular, we're not into green fantasy since they're now the 2 top importers in the entire world of russian l. n. g, behind only china. that's in the 1st 7 months of this year, according to the n g o global witness. and europe is not the only one bad, nothing russian public was quietly getting its fits from moscow. japan has followed the west fleet and adopted anti russian sanctions, including trade sanctions. well, at the same time, just last month, it increased its imports of russian grain by this 5679 percent compared to the same time last year. and in the 1st 6 months of this year,

so i figure chunk of time that for you is just under 510 percent year on year. that's according to the japanese government's own figures. so for all the public rejection of russia and its exports, it looks like breaking up, especially for europe, is really hard to do. the hungry stop diplomat says that with huge pressure in the west to support ukraine. anyone calling for peace is immediately branded a kremlin stooge. fund or the meetings or the foreign affairs concept. when we have discussed a war or an armed conflict situation, some of that far away was the major approach to ours was that we have the mended the stakeholders of the given the war on conflict to resolve this issue or that issue on a peaceful basis. to seats around the negotiating table and stuff,

i think and unfortunately, when a board face place on our own continent, we are not able to follow this approach of ours. because once you speak strongly about the needs for immediate these ceasefire, these thoughts, whatever you are immediately being judged and um, and stigmatized as a russian spy. and you know, propagandist of scrambling or fun with you, whatever. so let's take a look at a few examples. hunger is prime minister was called the pro, put in for maintaining his country's independence stance on the ukraine conflict. similarly, former french president nicholas our codes, the once heralded by the us media is now being denounced for suggesting the conflict. we resolved diplomatically, even the pope has not been spared, as he was recently condemned for addressing a group of catholic teams in russia for simply saying they should be proud of their

culture. so your research fellow at the global policy institute towards the welly, said european politicians turn the russian spy label to shut down any debates. it doesn't have any other arguments to offer of this is a war that should never have taken place. this is the rule that makes absolutely no sense to continue with. and the people who want to continue the war, of course, have their own cynical agenda. but there was, uh, they make sure that there is no debates about this and the, that the a right, the rational arguments are not good and how to avoid having to hear rational arguments. you just thrown out the, the old slogan, oh, you're working for boots and, oh, you're a russian agent, your perkins puppet. 02 bits of puppy as present biting as cold

a president former president trump. uh, that's the, that's the way you avoid having debate. you just installed the mean and uh, and, and slot of the people. that's a rap, but be sure to check out our t. com for the latest on everything happening in africa and around the world. thanks for joining. don't so far the most afraid of robert f. kennedy junior. well, apparently everyone in the political establishment and mainstream media is very much like donald trump. he says what he thinks liberal tied to use. the dan bar k jr is fear, because he's clear, let's say

the yes to be over there is a to lose the with the very from that silly by the 3 the my key positive to play the shipment to solve the back, the catalog. most of the money to carry out our programs and do our research for free meals comes from a variety of sources. certainly from the us government and other donor governments . their interest is involved in promoting of democracy, human rights for so america is financed by the us government. and the voice of america is part of the federal government. the us international organizers limited to the programs here much and they partner with the local into the big though i think we got it so it is possible to holiday and sleep. the next.
