one moment i'll be very proud all was when we covered the de paula as quick as 2015, a terrible natural disaster on the story that needs to be told from the hall of the affected area to be then to tell the people story was very important of the time, ah, this is al jazeera, ah, hello, welcome, i'm pete adobe. you're watching the news out, live from doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. a russia lead alliance says it's sending peacekeepers to casks, dawn hit by protests and riots. australia's deportation of the tennis champion, novak joke of inches delayed, as he fights the decision to revoke his visa over pandemic worlds. when i saw the

destruction, i thought, yeah, okay, we'll fix it. but i'll take a long time to do the post traumatic stress a year on from the u. s. capital attack. how speaker nancy pelosi reflects on the physical and emotional damage. also this our, the master of the pan. we need some am trying to keep the rocks calligraphy tradition alive, and changing tale and sports a winning return for controversial basketball player, kyrie irving brooklyn. at star score 22 points. having missed all of his teams previous games this season, refusing to be vaccinated against coven 19. ah! russian led military alliance has deployed troops to kazakhstan, which the students were st violence becoming independent. 3 decades ago. does,

of protested on policemen have reportedly been killed in the city of hell. mattie demonstrates is to set fire to public buildings. the violence was initially sparked by a dramatic rise in fuel prices. roslyn jordan reports what started as protests against rising fuel prices has turned into 4 days of anti government demonstrations across how's like st. on the attacks on government forces and property. and the takeover of almighty airport have triggered a state of emergency peacekeeping troops from russia and other former soviet countries are now on their way to help president hudson jo martel, kind of defeat what he calls enemies of the state director for the routine unit bun digger the bows out real terrorist, we know very well, but they are currently rampaging in al much in other cities. they are seizing buildings and infrastructure. and most importantly, the i see that premises where small armies are located. household citizens took to

the streets on sunday to denounce the government's decision to raise fuel prices. gas for cars went from $0.11 per liter to $0.28 per liter. in a country where the monthly minimum wage is less than a $100.00, demonstrator say they can't afford it. as the protest have grown in size, so to have the demonstrators demand, they now include a more general call for government accountability. at the u when an appeal for comb following with concern and monitoring the situation in kazakhstan, i think it's very poor for all involved in these current events to exercise restraint, refrain from violence and promote a dialogue in addressing all the pertinent issues. while with the white house, a pushback against a narrative being promoted by russia, there are some crazy russian claims about the u. s. being behind this. so let me

just use this opportunity to convey that as absolutely false. and clearly a part of the standard russian disinformation playbook. we've seen a lot of in past years, a former u. s. diplomat calls the political upheaval inevitable but this has been festering for a long. busy time, the stupendous corruption of the nasa by f family annessa by f corona's has caused a lot of concern in context on where despite tremendous oil wealth, income inequality is really quite substantial. and a lot of people are living really close to the subsistence margin. public uproar over the cost of living now challenging the powers that be in catholics, di rosalyn, jordan elders. era washington. and stay with this developing story. robin christie woke up monitoring developments for us from tbilisi in georgia. robin what's happening on the streets of our mattie? as far as we can tell pizza, that is the big issue. what we can tell is going on is limited to us because of the

internet restrictions that have been in place since yesterday and earlier. so cellular data is down. i think people have been trying to upload content via vps virtual private networks. but we are able to build up a picture and that is that the storage ease have hit back hards over the past night and into today to re take control of the center of mass because extern largest city and to retail control of the apple, which it's been concerned was taken over by protesters yesterday, in fact, international flight for many international flights not flying into mattie at present because of all of the on the rest. we are also aware of gunfire on the streets. i've seen video, unconfirmed marks,

full of bodies of young men, presumably protest in the government as described to them as riots is that there is a terrorist act. terrorist acts of being carried out, looting was allowed to happen because there was no security presence on the streets about the over the past 24 hours. and now we're seeing the military coming in on june itself. the police and the government also saying that they have suffered casualties. the moments that stands at the teen, according to official source, is 13 security personnel killed and dozens more wounded. so it is, it is looking like, unfortunately, a blood bath taking place in kazakhstan moment in the, with the attempt by the government to re take control of the situation. and this, this russian lead peacekeeping force. let's just arrived in the country or just

about to arrive in the country. but i guess we need to get a clear idea of what that peacekeeping forces mandates is because there's a big difference between keep peace keeping and peace making. and just yesterday we were talking to various people on this program and they would say, look, once the russians go in, it will be very difficult to get them out again because of the decisions being taken in the kremlin. yeah. so my sources tell me that russian forces are already on the ground that they cross into route in the north west of the country. that's the oil region, more or less the west because it's done, and also they have floating to out mattie. and it's really extraordinary step taken by cousin jill not so car catholic stones, president, to, to call in the russians effectively. you, through this collective security treaty organization that has expanded the parts of,

along with russia and for other posts it states. because it does mean exactly that the russian forces have been invited in effectively to prop up the cause that governments and knowing how high sentiments are in terms of feelings, amongst the contact people. because at studies about their, their nation and that they silver and see this idea of allowing so quickly rushing forces to come in it's, it's perhaps going to stir up a lot of discontent and indignation that this is the, the steps that, that the president has chosen in order for him on the 13th to maintain stability and cause it's done. so for many people that will be a real concern to see brush rushing peacekeepers on the ground and catholic stop understood. robin. thank you so much robin for see what they are. joining us live from the georgia capital tbilisi. joining us from brussels is theresa fallon, director of the center for russia, europe, asia studies theresa fallon,

i guess there, that's the key. important thing, there isn't the speed with which we've gone from the speculation that russian forces might cross the border. they might go into the country to, oh, it's happened. this is something that will make china rather uncomfortable because there is a kind of condominium between russia and china, has extended sandwich between these 2 great powers. and once, as your journalist stated that once you and by the russians in, it's very, very hard to get them out. we saw a similar playbook happened in bell ruse. and of course, we have frozen conflicts in georgia as well, where we see russian troops. so i think that this is shows how desperate the situation is in catholics done that the government had to invite the russians in, or the c s t o i should say, which is a russian lead group. and also has echoes almost with the soviet past. and this couldn't have been worse timing for putin because president putin is try, is getting ready for the negotiations on nato. and he's kind of trying to re

organize the post soviet settlement. and then it looks like he's occupying another post soviet countries. so it really has negative effects. it doesn't really show how strong russia is, but it actually shows how there's a lot of happiness with these other pedagogy. how much of this dynamic, how much of the dynamic is mr. putin costing and i over domestic consumption. this will definitely be important to us. first, i was interesting to see how is portrayed in the domestic russian media. of course, it's outside forces that are causing problems and cause extent. there's also, you know, we saw terrible protests in all across russia in regard to no valley. so this will have an actual effect with the public because there was a lot of rising against the government all across, not just in the major cities and russia, not as moscow and saint petersburg but all across the country. so i think that this

is dangerous. echo back, it will remind the public of their own unrest with how they feel about the president putin. he's trying to play the nostalgia card saying how great they are and, and how, how he's going to negotiate with nato. but then on the other hand, the public sees what's going on in kazakhstan, they know what's going on in dollars. and i think that this is that true mental for putting on domestic agenda. it reminds everyone of how unhappy they are with is just a credit system. theresa, is this potentially a perfect storm here? i mean, you've got a consistently weak economy in russia. you've got a not great economy and cassock st on. you've also, of course, got covered in russia, covered in kazakhstan, plus you've got a sizable chunk of the population in the western part of kazakhstan, consistently disgruntled, there was trouble in that region 10 years ago and we're seeing it's growing and spreading today. i mean, it's ironic the pump 600000 barrels of oil today, yet they are complaining about the high price of oil. russia has very similar

situation, especially in siberia, the export energy to china. but the local population is off the grid. they don't even have access to the oil and gas. so i think that there are, there's a lot of disgruntled people in russia. there's going to be an eco effect. coven 19 has not gone well in russia. there's been a huge amount of vaccine hesitancy, and we've seen this kind of managed democracy. and just recently they closed down the oil, this non profit organization that kind of try to preserve the memory of soviet atrocities. so hooton's even trying to rewrite the history of the soviet union and i think the public is very unhappy about. so instead of showing, put in a strong going into the meetings in geneva with president biden, he actually comes across is rather weak. so you're right, it is a perfect storm. this is something that the timing couldn't have been worse for putting theresa fallon, a complicated complex story that we do have to unbundle, i suspect over the coming few days. thank you so much for giving us

a look into your insight. teenagers and one place of course, very close china. china will vanish very unsettling as well because at their massive investments in the belt road initiative. so the sealants type of a rest. and they tried to decrease rushes footprint, and now we see rushes that are military with print, increasing conflicts. and so there's really d, rails, china's belton road initiative in this key country, where the biggest inland port of chinese investment is for the rel, products going west to europe. so i think that this also causes problems for china . so this is a huge issue both for the shipping and present. pretend so thank you for your time . okay, teresa, thank you so much for joining us there from brussels. theresa fallon in brussels. lots more still to come here on the user for you, including the expert who feel the army kron variant may be a positive turning points in the pandemic. and the u. s. imposes sanctions against the controversial bosnian serb leader. and in the sports news, a london darby to forgets if you're

a sports fan population coming up with thorough in about school, 40 minutes. ah, tennis diane nowak jacobin fighting against being deported from australia. he arrived there to play in a grand slam tournament. but the authorities refused to accept his exemption from pandemic and crew rules. his lawyers are appealing against the decision in court. the case has been adjourned until monday is sarah clark. this wasn't the arrival the world's number one men's tennis player had planned on the eve of this giant. ivan wished off to a government quarantine hotel with his visa or a vote on touchdown. immigration authority said no that doc of ich had failed to meet the requirements to enter. there are no special cases. rules are rules. that's the policy, the government and has been governments strong,

border protection policies and particularly in relation to the pain damage. that is insured. the destroyer has one of the lowest death rights from covet anywhere in the world tennis. a strategy and the victorian government had granted him a medical exemption to travel to melbourne to defend his grand slam title for the federal government. these application insufficient with her port, the v that he used to try and enter a strayer did not allow for exemptions for unvaccinated travelers. they, if it's done their job entry with a visa requires double vaccination or i medical exemption. i'm advised that such an exemption was not in place and as a result, he is subject to the same rule as any one else doctor, which has never publicly revealed his vaccination status. but it's opposite. ition to vaccinate is well known. his medical exemption to travel to australia triggered widespread anger from many who endured months, a block downs,

and is covered 19 infections, rich records daily numbers. but he supporters of periods with a serbian president labeling the incident, harassment and maltreatment declaring on social media that he's country will fight for novak truth and justice. he's got the message and we all love him and some co my such company. what do you know? your whole whole lot, you know, like greg, would you like a criminal thing? i know that dr. beach had been speaking to when we were 21st grand slam singles titles over taking ref i on the dull and roger federer at this tournament for now. those hopes seemed dashed instead, he's facing a major battle to try and stopped being st. hi, sarah class, audi 0, queensland, australia. let's get more on that story. roger may not is an australian, ortho and journalist explained earlier, some of the internal politics at play here. certainly this is the section here that

there's been one rule for the rich and the famous and another for ordinary people. but there's also this guess not, this latest drama is being exploited by the government to take attention away from his own cell here with policies. now the number of cases continued to climb in a new south wells, at least not 35000 people reported to a contract to the bug in the past 24 hours. but to one extent, all this will influence, you know, that joker, this is the tensor plan, the australian open will, that remains to be seen. and in fact, a court cases under way, in melbourne, at the moment, to try to get some clarity, try to influence the government's decision making and try to restore that lisa that will allow no, the joint venture to play in the australian open top story in europe. this hour, the lower house of the french parliament has approved tougher cooper, 19 measures. after 3 days of often intense debate, the bill would make full vaccination mandatory for people to for example, eat at restaurants,

go to public events or travel on in to city trains or goes to the upper house like not to paris and i corresponded natasha butler. so natasha, how significant is this after emanuel microns colorful comments 36 hours ago? well, his and against beverly for the french government after a very long night to a french empire finally approved of the government's vaccine. a pol spill. it's not a surprise because the government has a majority in the lower house of parliament. the build that now goes to the senate and it may go back to the parliament before probably coming into law in the middle of january. what it means for people is that the unvaccinated population will no longer have access to things like restaurants, cafes, leasia, a facilities everyday life for them will certainly become a lot tata now. the bill i most finally approved by the parliament there has to be said off to 3 incredibly intense

a days of debates in the parliament. often chaotic scenes, overshadowed also by the french presidents rather controversial comments on wednesday when he said that he was going to really tight and the screws and go off to unvaccinated people in frogs. let's take a look back at those events in the parliament on wednesday. such as so there was an uproar in france, his parliament as emmanuel macros, comments and strong language about on vaccinated people became public, some opposition and peas, boot the house minister, while others described the french president's words as vulgar before a debate on the government's proposed vaccine pass was abruptly suspended. the loan going up is all to play the news. we ask for the presence of the prime minister because the words of the president of the republic or worthy, irresponsible, contemptuous, unable will vary, premeditated if this is the reality of the situation. one contacts i left the dresser, it was blue arts of good. in the parisian newspaper,

macro said that on fax, native people were irresponsible as for the unvaccinated, i really want to piss them off. he said, we have to tell them, you will no longer be able to go to the restaurant. you will no longer be able to go for coffee. you will no longer be able to go to the theater. you will no longer be able to go to the cinema france as recorded record numbers of new coded infections in recent days, fueled by the delta, an army kron variance, doctor se, most covert patients in intensive care, i'm vaccinated. the french government says vaccination is the best way out of the pandemic. although 90 percent of the population are immunized, the government's targeting those yet to receive a job. 3 months before the french presidential election might call risks, alienating some voters, but to support to say, he's taking a calculated risk. pressing on the majority of french people agreeing with him

because they fell off of restrictions and more to see an end to the covey crisis. but he said, traditionally french voters don't like aggressiveness, intellectual campaigns, a bubble from a sitting president. so micron took a written, but it was assumed written because this interview was re read and approved by the laissez. it wasn't a gaffe or an error of communication. it was intentional, he sent a message to the campaign will happen with a certain rhythm and tone for the micro has yet to declare his candidacy for the presidential race. but he is widely expected to run his victory in 2017 was partly due to the image he projected as a straight talker who didn't shy away from controversy and was afraid to break with tradition. but whether it will be a winning formula this time around is uncertain. and natasha, it's really just across the border heading for mandatory vaccines. but anyone over the age of 50? how likely is franz to follow suit? do we think?

well, the question is, mandatory vaccination certainly raise its head on, on occasion here in france. so far, the french president and the government have said that they don't want to go down that route. what they are doing is they are passing on this vaccine passes away to try and persuade the last they say 5000000 adults are eligible for the vaccine to go and get immunized. look, they're looking at the record of the current health pause. now the help pass that was put in place by the government last year as persuaded, you might say, some 90 percent of people to get vaccinated before that health policy was necessary to go to restaurant or a bar only 3040 percent of people in france said that they wanted to get a vaccine. as soon as that house was put in place, or people rushed to get their jobs, the governments are hoping that's going to be the same thing now that it will force people to go and get vaccinated, whether it will not. of course, we don't know. but the health minister did say on wednesday that some 66000 people

had actually registered a for their 1st a dose of a cove at vaccine. so they see that as an encouraging sign. natasha. thank you very much. natasha about linda talking to us from the bureau in paris. and as you've just heard, italy is now requiring old people of age of 50 to get a vaccine. has not yet cleo penalties anyone who's unvaccinated may face. the country's health minister says everyone in that age group will not be checked for their vaccination states us before they can enter the workplace. the country is struggling with new records of fresh infections fueled by the army cron variant beaters in the chinese city of she. an say the latest cupboard 19 outbreak is now under control. these cities mass as community cases of declined to quotes, basically 0. the city of 13000000 has been under a strict lockdown for 2 weeks as local officials try to contain the outbreak at the paging winter olympic games. oh me. so now the total number of covered nitro cases

has shown a declining and all new cases were found, an individual's undergoing quarantine. and in areas under locked down community cases are form to basically 0 men. and the spread of the virus has been effectively controlled. that our lives are to beijing and our correspondent there. katrina, you katrina, how did they manage to do this so very, very quickly full authority say in total in the city of she and there were 1800 cases noted and that number has been steadily declining in recent days. and as we just heard, all those new infections had been recorded among people already contained under quarantine. well, how do they do it? china's typical 0 covey 19 playbook, putting 13000000 people that the entire population of she are under strict locked down. unable to leave their homes even to buy food. 42000 people are under quarantine in specific quarantine facilities in and are getting in and out of the

city is extremely difficult. schools and businesses are closed and they've conducted several rounds of mass testing. so it does seem that china's approach to handling infections has taken on a new urgency in the lead up to the beijing when to games, which opens in less than a month. but this has come at a cost. we do know that at least one woman who is 8 months pregnant lost her unborn child because she was unable to access a hospital because authorities said that her covered 19 test had expired a few hours beforehand. and one man and notably died of a heart attack for similar reasons and were widely in many communities and she and people have complained about lack of access to food. they have been some, some of them resorting to bartering to get their daily necessities. now, officials in that city say those responsible for the mishandling of these, a very embarrassing incidents have been either punished, warned, or sacked. but there is

a lot of frustration because people do not know when this lockdown is going to end . but there are other bricks causing concern there as well. are there katrina or can you tell us about those the tri, china is not out of the woods quite yet neighboring her. none province home to about 100000000 people is now home to about at least 76 infections which have spread to 6 cities in that province. and we know that the authorities in the cities are sort of implementing a patchwork of those typical policies that we've seen. mass testing, suspension of schools and businesses shutting down domestic transport. we do know 150 in atlanta and the city of you grow, which is home to 1160000 people has also implemented heavy lockdown since the beginning of this week. but all of their residents unable to leave their homes until further notice. katrina, thank you very much. katrina you talking to us from beijing in the us. the white

house is urging states to keep schools open if they can. despite the record case, number's bare, the president's top medical adviser has told people to continue taking precautions . the big caviar is we should not be complacent. since the increase transmit civility, ovarian may be of alma crohn, might be overwritten by the sheer volume of the number of cases that may be reduced severity, but could still stress our hospital system. well, despite how things look today, some experts do feel we may now be at the turning points in the pandemic. it does appear that while ami crone is more contagious, it does cause less severe illness than previous variance. many believe 2022 could see the end of the acute phase of the virus. however, as john hall now explains, vaccines will need to be distributed more equally around the world. to achieve that . over the next 3 months,

the only kron variant is expected to account for 3000000000 infections worldwide. that's as many as during the entire demick so far. and yet, there is optimism that this may be the beginning of the end. i think the vaccines and drugs and now available con, would use kind of a button by a 95 percent so that it's no longer a top 10 house problem. i think it's going to be very difficult to actually get to under control in terms of controlling cases. so we're talking about controlling severe disease, which i think mortality massively so was that still will be cases unfortunate. they, they will be much less severe. i or south africa, where on the ground was supposed to take the these now providing intriguing clues about what may happen next. infection numbers, they're dropping fast in a population that achieved high levels of natural immunity. down more than 50 percent from their peak restrictions are being lifted and

a number of international studies support claims that alma cronies, less dangerous, confining itself more to the nasal and upper respiratory passages than the lungs. the infection numbers are enormous and yet undeniably the public health consequences are less severe. so have we genuinely reached a turning point? well, plenty of scientists seem to think so. and even the world health organization says that 2022 could bring an end to the acute phase of the pandemic. but the world health organization cautions that's possible only if the vaccines and treatments available in the rich world are made equally available to all a goal. the world is some way from achieving and even then scientific views are divided by the contrary and actually shows that this bias is very flexible. on the contrary, it is so different to the other readings that we've seen that is actually able to

enter and sell in incomplete. you different waves from the waves, previous range use to enter. and what we realize is that the base for the application of this virus is quite large. and as long as the transmission is allowed to continue, the course of the panoramic is going to be very, very unpredictable. high transmission rates, raise other concerns to the debilitating effects of long covey, the continued risk to the vulnerable and the unvaccinated. increasingly, the policy thinking seems to be shifting away from long term control measures towards the view that the vast majority of us may be able to live alongside the virus. eventually posing as much risk to public health as the flu. jonah whole al jazeera london still come here on al jazeera. why this unity and politicians worsening health is having a ripple effect across what is a fractured country. and in the sport with faro, the tennis world reacts to all the junk of its drama in australia. that story and

a lot more coming up later here on the new zone. ah, how they're spending a lot more like winter now across much of europe we got rain sleet and snow coming into many parts of setting, much colder than it has been. recently we've got malware, grassy trying to push his way back in from the atlantic. he said that in the form of this massive cloud, these weather systems will roll through with some slightly less cold. at the moment . the cooler air is down across central parts. were seen a fair bit of a snow pushing down across germany towards the alpine regions. some winter, whether there over towards the baltic, states and cold enough there in moscow while i sit there, i celsius is around 5 or 6 degrees warmer than it should be at this time of year. so not too bad, stormy weather down around the central parts of the mediterranean. we have got some

lively winds and some wet weather. pushing into whitley and the balkans as at wet and windy weather across northwest say the republic of ireland the u. k. seeing some rather wet weather, some windy weather, and at times some snow sickly over the higher ground scotland, seeing if ever to snow northern parts of england could also see some snow more the same as to go on into friday. sinking a little further south was noticed by that state winter weather coming into central parts of here we have got some live you storms there into central as of the mediterranean. it will turn increasing wet and wendy for much of grease. ah january. well, that just, you know, i don't think that you're, we look back on you as the president joe biden dealing off that 12 months on from the capital building by the part of the stream. enjoy no social media community. se owns recovery from civil war,

continues. we mock 2 decades since the end of one of africa's most political complex, the bottom line, steve clemons dives headlong into the us issues that shape the rest of the world. as we enter the 3rd year, having 19, we go back to where it all began and investigate how far we come into the pandemic stuff. january on a jesse about informed opinions, there was a need about money to take action to really facilitate aid to take pride in depth analysis of the dates, global headlines inside story on al jazeera lou . ah,

welcome back. you're watching the news, i live from your top story so far today. dozens of protesters and policemen have reportedly been killed. in the catholic city of al marti, a russian lead military alliance is deployed troops to help the president restore order. the violence was initially sparked by a dramatic rise in fuel prices. tennis champion, no joke of it, she is facing deportation from australia. border officials refused to accept his exemption from pandemic rules to play in a tournament there. his lawyers are appealing against the decision. the case has been adjourned until monday. it is in the chinese city if she am, say, the latest covered, 1900 outbreak is now under control. the cities mass as community cases have to claim to coach, basically 0. the city of 13000000 had been under strict lockdown for 2 weeks. and $125.00 airline passengers on board a flight from italy of tested positive for covered 19 on arrival at an ritz. the

airport there in india, poverty natal? following that story for us out of new delhi. so pop ne, presumably these people all test is negative before they got on the plane. anyway. yes, so you have 6 rules when you have to fly and you do need to see our test. this is a lie and we're told that a 125 sam applied to the only people who haven't tested positive are actually children and babies was exempt from testing. so we don't actually know if everybody over there on that fly tested positive. now this is a big number, or if i'm all of a sudden there's also a lot of change. i'm sorry, you know, just 2 days ago, a crew ship was turned back from the western state of law and was sent to me by after dozens of people just as positive, despite being fully vaccinated and producing a negative test the for boarding. know when they got enrolled by, according to what that they had to deploy more than 2000 just to just everybody

i've been. and so we're waiting to kids, people who are processed into isolation facilities. now we're to look at a $139.00. people have just, in addition to the $66.00, several already possible out of time. but the health care system simply cannot really take in and be handling all these things why cases are starting across the country and hundreds of them. so a 4 and 6 talking concerns of staffing issues and the number of infections still continuing to rise up and down the country. yes. and an alarming ray just this morning in guy recorded about more than 90000 new cases over the last 24 hours a day ago. that number was about 55000 back on most job one. and this is just alarming and other ways that we haven't even seen during the peak of the 2nd wave

last summer, which was one of the most devastating over 90 read in the was the beginning of the damage in delhi health minister says we're expecting about 14000 new cases overnight, and that again is a huge fight from just yesterday on the city talked over 10000 new cases. the good news is that most cases are mild and do not require hospitalizations and oxygen. but the problem is that number of household goods on testing positive. 7 now most part of the country are some trauma restrictions. interesting need. many political philosophies has been counseling rallies, but i'm the say that a lot of this is driven mostly by political compulsion and political parties trying to manage the number of writing cases among their own franks. that actually controlling so probably help me thank you very much. metal talking to us from new

delhi, many of the world airlines were only just taking their 1st steps towards economic recovery when the micron barrier was discovered last november. since then, flight bands and tough a testing rules of dealt another huge blow. one of the airlines facing enormous challenges is the hong kong based cafe pacific and as brit planet reports, questions and now being asked about its ability to survive. the pandemic is taking a toll on the global aviation industry, but hong kong flagship carriers facing particularly turbulent times, kathy pacific has drastically reduced its number of flights since the start of the pandemic, as it navigates some of the world's harshest border restrictions in quarantine requirements. and its staff are being blamed for 5th wave in hong kong, the territories 1st outbreak in months after a crew member breached quarantine. the government has responded by tightening the rules for returning air crews even further and have banned flights from

a pretty thing in the northwest funding north central parts of the country for some years from several months now some years, so to speak. and government has come on the increasing pressure from governors, from the position who of acts demanded that government declares these groups bindix because just because the photo declaring them terrors because just having the most terrorists means government cannot really apply so much force in terms of trying to stop them or trying to do this, launch them from the prison or base. but now that they've been declared terrors the government would be purchased within parties of some military hardware from the us will be able to deploy some of these military hardware and go really hard on disparities who have in recent times, stepped up the attack on communities, kidnapping people whipping women, demanding for ransom, and generally also fitting plays even caught people in commercial buses. so this is

more like yielding to the demands of the new political position and also the state governors who have been making these demand. and governments had, in november last year, she killed the coffee and a court order, which they had pretty caught to grant them so that they will be able to declare this, terry arm good terrors. so now this is more like a step in the right direction based on the demands of the governance and the position. but is this expected to put an end to the insecurity in the country? well this is more like a step in the right direction and my actually more like curtail the activities of, you know, i'm groups in not is kelsey made us not just and then not we have insecurity across this out to the west and also did not burn part so declaring them terrorist right now means that to some extent they will be able to dislodge them and also need

small hope to even the communities will come on their repeated attacks. but again, minding that some people have dismissed it to more like a question, direction know of doing this even to some say it said the never because i head of election security the major talking point and government taking this decision now to declare these groups periods would actually more like so 5 cases often security, but i doubt if just med declaring them at terrace would bring an end to security across the country. fidelis, thank you very much for us and bother talking to us from the bureau in the us as imposed sanctions on a both me and sadly, the millard, dick washington, is accusing him of quotes, corrupt activities that threatened to the stabilize the region and undermine the 1995 peace accord that ended both as the governor civil war boss as a governor is facing its biggest political crisis since that conflict. liliana

thanks so much. 9 time champion know about jock of inches. chances of playing at this here is australian open remains in limbo. world number one is said to spend another night in detention in melbourne as he fights the decision to revoke his visa over pandemic rules. on tuesday organizers had confirmed jock, which would be allowed to play at the at the event, despite not being fully vaccinated against coven, 19 but australian border authorities refused to accept jock a vicious medical exemption. on his arrival, the 34 year olds, lawyers have appealed against the decision in court with the case adjourned until next week. the requirements were not able to be met. there was a, an exemption that had been provided through the victorian government process. clearly that did not pass the standards of proof that were required by the australian board of force. yes, it's tough, but it's fair and it's equitable, and it's one rule for all under this australian government, or we've been speaking to sports illustrated. so john, we're time and he says

a controversy surrounding jock of h and the 1st grand slam of the year is not good for tennis is image. it's a real issue for the sport. i mean, here is this towering player. he's probably going to go down having one more majors than any male ever. he's winning this rivalry against roger federer and rock and dahl. and yet you have this consistent string of embarrassing incident. some players, some athletes, celebrities who are made to be boxed and made means of that is not the case here. it's not a good look where the sports great calorie champion is also the guy. everyone's running the social media to, to spoof because the weather is, you know, hitting a ball, it's alignment row that gets him defaulted from the us open 2 years ago. or whether it's the super spreader events that he ran in 2020, or, you know, advocate tantrum at the olympics. or now this is the latest with this sort of latest soccer, australia it's,

it's not great when it's the figure at the top of the heap. this has really exposed some of some of the law, the penance. and one of them is that in team sports, you have teams and you have actually you have labor and management. and the teams are employing the players. and they can tell the players what to do, and there's collective bargaining. and as the players are independent contractor, so on the one hand, players can decide when they want to play. and if they want to take a week off, they can take a week off. if they want to fire their coat, it's their decision. but one of the issues with that is that there's not a lot of cohesion. it's not as simple as a team saying ok, all the players know that the curfew is midnight if you come in late after that, we're going to find you doesn't work that way. it's in the players of their own bosses. and so one of the issues is it's something that should be fairly simple. you know, you want to have a vaccine mandate and these players are crossing borders or sharing a locker room. maybe everyone should be back there and it's not simple. there, there isn't a conventional union the way there is another sports. meanwhile,
