there is a parent in new jersey and sky and friend, friend by remind me of the my phone to tell me not too far away. but there was a side, uh there is, uh, any children in the army and its people decided to say no, no, no, to the former boss. moving this off to me i'm. the user was headed by a to back in july, the coming the latest country in this, a whole region to top over western back leader africa has seen a wave of military takeovers with the bond being the 6 country to see such changes in just the past. 2 years on wednesday, a group of army officers seize power from president ali bongo, whose family have ruled the country for over half a century to see it in order to ensure continued respect for the rule of law, good relations with our neighbors. and with all the states around the world and to

promote the continually of the state, while the demonstrating our firm determination to honor our international commitments. the committee for the transition and restoration of institutions has decided to reopen the land sea and air borders with immediate effect as of the 2nd of september, 2023. according to the french minister of the armed forces, paris suspended its military cooperation with this central african countries following the too. meanwhile, the bonds main opposition party has the urge the rebels to return power to civilian rule. that's after the countries, the leader promised a new constitution warning, there won't be rushed elections to avoid what he called past. mistakes are to corresponded, hulu. you food a brings us all the latest. we do know that the current prices in the g as a reading today to into the future of democracy and she and across piece the whole region is also created a moment of reflection full from about the 5th to most of the policies as well as it's the future influence of the machine,

either we spend as simple as it can. countries as things stand at the moment across the african continents, people are even asking, is there still a place for the front initiative or even in africa, the f one say that we've got most people, but i would say that there was a kind of high bulk received behind these french behavior because there is nothing suspicious going on than white despite that is that the section of the citizens is for us to present, to leave for me. and there was something in the wind. why do a mfc so case? so look at what just happened in google, and it's prove that people are fed up with friends, present bongo, told us to make noise. yes, we're making noise from small sleeve. well, you'd be civic, allow for us. france was our colonizing country used as many times in my opinion, france must understand the current regime was they must create a framework for dialogue to listen to each other and us to find a solution. well, the dominos of wisdom powers, the forwarding of thoughts in this morning,

over africa, fearless. last, the 4th wisdom control the african countries, is in the middle of a crew. to top of this is current, i'm corrupt wisdom that's need is, and that's exactly what we are seeing in gabon. we are also told that the sweeping of the general is expected to take place after the constitutional quotes of the next few days. did you remember that a few days ago? no one used we ali bundle was where his family was, but hopefully we are aware of some sort of information i rebundle on the back missed on the bundling. dean bar is kept on the surveillance surrounded by his family and his doctors, the people concerned arrested for treason against state institutions. message me separation of public funds organized as national financial embezzlement, forgery. falsification of the signature of the president of the republic, corruption and drug trust, again. and those kinds the other claims that i'm hearing the pos to be good friends of course, colonized about in the late 19th century. it's will dental $9.00 to $60.00 and

during that time front exploits hooked up on natural resources even after they've picked the president to move the country to their own, present to the country. and been to say that president was the prophets of frogs. and that present was on my bundle on the bus, whose son the now present that we're discussing now is um i, i live, i'm going to buy 2 over his father and the father passed away in 2009. that also tells us that the component has been under the same leadership and a one family leadership since of $9.00 to $60.00. and that family is still controlled by from some wisdom powers. i live uncle at the moment is calling when people to make noise and do something basically calling on the people she had kept in cove it to you for decades and supported what she was enriching himself with the support of wisdom. paul was to help him and those people are indeed making the noise is but this month and with that the president is off the floor. it's the noise except the so as integrations for the c domain independent, they are trying to achieve. they could have to, has taken place,

was predictable. ali bone good was always tempered in the elections. so the ministry has taken power and that dictated the government people's lives on the page seems to definite, the turned. he's on to house, arrest his relatives and calibrate just odysseyware lives by the tune, to swap for 64 years. we've had just wondering the regime that has impressed us as gab needs we could no longer find the joy in living for loss or losing our values to the country and no longer gave us anything. things we'll learn from our families, disappears. thing god to dates. we have the army fronts, consoles, the pumping of the bonds, oil and the uranium that comes out of the blood go straight into front to healthy food. it's economists to help him to do that. it's a nuclear weapons and it's nuclear power plants size has a $110.00 companies upon the us. extracts offices for you to see. and the majority

of people in those areas are moving in absolute cove at each the amount of resources this country has is phenomenal. so no one, the wisdom powers and from the, the prospect of africa kicking out wisdom influence out of the shape of monday, out of the bunch. and all these other countries at the rush you off because i'm, it's present puts in did say that's we want you to keep your resources. we want you to enjoy your southern and me partnerships and calibrations that you feel that's a safe and secure. and then you have top, you will pc to saying that's what needs to be done in these crises, is for them to improve african policies. events in africa, in particular, in this a house should be a wake up call for us in the chair where they're waving russian flags sinking an anti french songs which shows in our soft power. our influence is much smaller than we thought. the easy point is it has failed and continues to go run when he to stop the door like with africa again. and its representatives need to understand that we not only one something from them,

but we can offer something. no alarm bells have been ringing in paris. now good bone has been able to get rid of its presidential puppet to the intervention of its military. background has once again compromised france. africans are turning the page z and phones have had to close ties to the she became independent from for us in the $9.00 to $60.00. this one is the bought a new she remains economy cli dependent on it for me on the minus the disease. one of those who are was countries in the world are, we all know what french aid does to these countries. if it really helps to keep tabs and control these countries, but it will then be very interesting, i must say to keep an eye on all of this to see if you call us. we'll also see this is unacceptable because we all know that to the united nations has already condemned these cruz um the u. s. and the u. k as well, but on what basis? that is the question. is it because of democracy, or is it just that it is a start of the equipment as ation? we ask because a really starting to see and recognize the day that it was at this point. the us

stance on the ongoing events, and that's the whole region seems to vary from country to country with washington calling for restraint. in the case of the 2 in the bond while strongly condemning be over, throw in the share. are we calling on just to show restraint and respect for human rights and to address that concerns peacefully through dialogue following the announcements of election results. we also note for the concert and the lack of transparency and reports of irregularities surrounding the election. we strongly support the democratic, the elected president and condemn in the strongest terms any efforts to seize power by force and disrupt the constitution. loda we echoed the strong condemnation of today's action by the economic community of west african states. i would say in this i have there is something much more interesting going on and for the moment then at least it's interesting that to the local military. ready and all that

and political forces, uh uh, i have the guts to take it to at least to do, to take their own future destiny in their own hands. and the challenging people who are just doing that. they have to be there for ever a lot like a lot like flaws and and do united states the west has been pretty silent about booking at 1st. so my lead that a going cool, cool. nice. yeah. so that me is, there is something very, very important that now how much is africa i'm going to back and to support also this new way of something. very interesting. we'll, we'll, we'll have to, to, to, to see if they have to what it takes to, to really going for change. but definitely that, that all shaking up the west, that's for sure. desperate and totally caught off guard. that's all a south african official described to us deputy secretary of state victoria knew

and during her visit to south africa. according to the grace of news. humans visit to pretoria came just hours after the 2 in the year, which washington was reportedly completely unprepared for. we got the details from anya, parent, powell, the regional and journalist who broke the story. i think the reason that victoria newland was unprepared and caught off guard by reason developments on the african continent was that quite frankly v i a law does in washington whether on the neo conservative side or new liberal side representing this, the unit party establishment that is really part of a transatlantic nexus, they leave their own for lack of a better word fantasy. you can say something more bolder perhaps, but they believe it. i don't think they ever considered for a minute. the serious possibility that the world would rise and reject

it. finally, african nations that have for decades been ruled by pro western, particularly pro french interest are claiming their independence. now they're getting their true independence because for decades they were still subject to the same colonial rule. and newland and company really thought that the system, the rules, had been established the rules based order. and that the end of history came. everyone understands that having good relations with africa and having a partnership with, with africa is to their benefit. i think that the united states and the western powers would prefer that that relationship was not so even handed that the west in europe could continue to talk down to the africans and dictate their policy. but there might be another way. now to south africa where a deadly fire until highness berg on thursday, costs scores of casualties with adults poll still rising is over 70 people,

including thousands of children, have been killed and at least 50 injured in the plays. the multi story building is in the central business district, was reportedly an informal settlement for homeless people saw shelter. the cause of the fire is still under investigation. south african president, 0 rama sosa said, the tragedy is a wakeup call to address the housing situation in the city. the russian president has express condolences to a south african counterpart. here's what some people at the scene had to say to. so follow the rules just to make sure that these are the new bodies which might be saved. and then from there, we ate over the symptoms since for diaper solutions and not finding the isaac reading with people that just the, the page. let's see if this is sort of accurate. so that is a, what is a big sometimes of course you to on a pre existing keyboard don't use any of the aging devices. so i have to be able to

continue with that. no, i just need to know the cause of the file by day investigations. we can put up tickets. when does the tvs or do we have uh taking this supposed to be. the thing is to make sure that the good thing is well kept. if they do but they can be able to rotate that it takes a business within find itself in this situation. wait. so for the see one here didn't lines on the side. so i went on site, but just never need to know do supply out when i'm not sure if you're doing something. so i went outside as a member of region 6. and again, this was the one i got. so i can't then judge some

some guy who was and then you and has called for an independent investigation into wednesdays incident in the democratic republic of congo, in which 43 people were killed. the $56.00 wounded in a $158.00 arrested during protest against the un mission in the city of goma. officials claim that a religious sect is responsible for the incident. a warning to some viewers as some of the images in the following report are distressing. the government of the republic is concerned and is closely monitored in the incident which occurred on such as august 2023 in the city of goma, following the cola for the protest against my new school. the original forces of the east african community and the international energy of that process was instigated by the fall of us, of a mistake of religious sect you and that religious event. they took actions that posed a dentist to public order and caused the death of a police officer. law enforcement intervene to restore order and come to the city.

i wouldn't be following close, knew what's being happening in the east and the i see that these in the box of goma on the what's the so at that point and the purpose that we're holding by religious leaders and local communities in the region. what i do is the youth in peacekeeping missions that these most cool because um yeah, how to get you on that. uh, let me send half speed will take us principal take this has been under social phase. do preventative finding? was even bought more money in the eastern part of the i see that you dismissal for you to have had he does have a meeting phone and for the kids. and that they meet you in peacekeeping mission that was already doing, said it'd be say, use mission to find the people at no time of the un mission that has to be on that point. and that's why we've had it. so you and the secretary general,

the tennessee not it's been saying that new york is on, he's fine with wait for the faith in the mission. and that was that why do i need the surveillance of because of how about i and you certainly can do that. the whole thing that i, that even starting the constitution, but now we are finding a situation where the police will, he says this. sonya is worth a force to be and to anything that this the vs out of see. now that i get in to see the on the fly, do you know where those are fighting? doesn't mean it seems to be some useful. we sold it to the to 50. you tell me time, the useful visa and you also ended up there at least one civilian has died in a others were injured and ethnic classes during protests in the northern iraqi city of kirkuk. that's according to local officials clash a ruptured over plans to hand over a security building to local authorities. for nearly a week. tensions have been escalated in between the federal government in baghdad

and kurdish authorities in the northern region. the director of the local health authorities said protesters sustained injuries from bullets stones and broken glass . one member of the security forces was reportedly injured. officials have announced a city curfew the one of the famous fashion capitals of the world. paris is setting a new restrictive trun, banning female muslim students nationwide from wearing the traditional long as womic dress known as an a by yeah, the countries education minister even claims such clothing threatens to be stabilized france to sit down you more them separately. so i thought that at least in recent months there has been a considerable increase in the tax on secularism. particularly with the wearing of religious stress, such as a bias or kindness which have appeared or in some cases taken root in certain

schools. in the face of occasional blows, attacks and attempts to disable ization. we must and will stand united standing together means being clear and i've had an occasion to stay the a by it has no place in our schools, and neither do religious symbols. the impact on muslim kids of the span pretty much 0 because according to the french council of muslim faith via isn't a muslim religious sign. last year, at the beginning of the school year, the french education ministry found the crop top this year. it's the maxi dress, which is what the a, by a pretty much is you do a search for it online here in france, and you get results from a number of really popular clothing apps like she in or is this. and you also get right peter, max, he dresses mixed in with those results. so it seems like google's algorithms can't even tell the difference between a maxi dress and, and the buyer. so good luck to the school principals. we're now going to have to

make the calls on which of these kinds of dresses are allowed and which ones are because this announcement by new education may start gabrielle, i, toddler, is not going to translate into any kind of clarifying legislation beyond the one that's already existed since 2004 that prohibits any really just clothing and public school classrooms. i tell said during his announcement that he met with education stakeholders over the summer and this is the result of that. i guess this is a big issue. we came up with to justify his existence because well, everything else in front schools must just be going perfectly well. everything is hunky dory. french politicians on the left were on surprisingly very quick to react . sad to see this part of the new school year. politically polarized by yet another absurd, entirely artificial religious war over women stress. when will we see true secularism

and civil peace that unites rather than exasperate? how far will the government police go? gabriella tells proposition is unconstitutional. it's contrary to the founding principles of secularism and symptomatic of the obsessive rejection of muslims. by the way, came on the scene or tell there she was in favor of founding full space to fails in public spaces. when that law passed in 2010 as a feminist at the time she cited the lack of proceed. choice that women had in wearing down, but it sounds like now she has a problem with this a by a band because well, it just sounds petty and figures on both the right and the left have been saying just that the reaction elsewhere has also been pretty negative. next they'll be telling muslims they can't keep their names because it identifies their religion. what a complete joke test stuck a by a how to create

a media and political culture of the see to the, the, the good people's attention from the all the survey as back to school issues. friends of all places. first they bands the job and now they're coming for the a by a people can no longer express their freedom to wear what they want in paris, the fashion capital of the world. and it's like, don't you guys have anything else to do? didn't realize that france was leading the world in education scores and could now turn its attention to dress codes. why don't you have everyone in school where uniform already and call in the day. people here in france is still struggling with the cost of living and they're just getting back from their summer vacations and getting ready to open their income tax assessments, where some surprises might await them. and the countries foreign policy is a total disaster. and this is what's reading the news here today. basically the fact that the french state is playing fashion police again, they're using a religious argument because france wants to reinforce activism,

the principle of separation of religion and state. but like so many other things, it's approach amounts to little more than virtue signaling the anger. some people confuse as others and really just makes you wonder what they're really trying to achieve with all of this. oh durians, make of one of the largest ethnic groups in france and we've got reactions to the move in all jury itself, or some people think it's part of a broader agenda. and when they added, we perceive that for us, his goal is specifically to seek revenge against al jerry is of course we do not agree with this decision to have alger ends. and muslims, in general have they retire and they are free to where is we as mostly as respects on religions including the christie and one. however, the west does not respect the islamic religion. due to the animosity towards islam particularly towards the algerians, especially in from lift the season highly respected in europe,

especially on social media attempts on native tanya should be. slips, image remains associated with terrorism and extortion. the run known as ations defended the religion of a trained it's to image result in a known progress, but rather an increase in bias and distortion. the guys can use them. and most of this uh, you know, something that we've witnessed how friends band these. lemme can scarf throughout the country. they want to info the customs introducing so they will not be pleased with us unless they follow the ways. however, this will never happen. somebody who cannot follow them, even if the whole world opposes us. uh. we also discuss the issue with an expert panel of guests who believe this is a move towards more as lama phobia. and division you're is trying to fight slot is trying to increase is don't forget what is our permit that some people do. i swear i'm the same sex low. so assumption

of that or not the bad, something a bad word and it's i have a kind of freedom off on the flights of freedom but does the same times they are banning the he job or band and guy on the glen. and then there's really the ideas. what's wrong with that? there is no the constitution know that the say this is of a and this is not the because this i think that's just the population. and just another way to make an of a subdivision that literally is not, let's say that to be x. if this is the problem, is it really is for us like say that's different people. and i don't think, i think they said that i've seen these because in size it is 5000000. and what's the amount that they should have? they have the lights to as by the way that they want of

all for the hour. but be sure to check out our t dot tom, so the latest on everything happening in africa and around the world. thanks for joining in. stay tuned for a great programming. see about next hour the
