the attacks on government forces and property and the takeover of omar at the 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 union when decker. those are real terrorists, we know very well that they are currently rampaging in al much in other cities. they are seeing buildings and infrastructure and most importantly the i see the 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 san so to have

the demonstrators demands, they now include a more general call for government accountability. at the you, when an appeal for comb following with concern and monitoring the situation in kazakhstan, i think it's very important for all involved in these current events, to exercise restraint, refrain from violence and promote a dialogue in addressing all the pertinent issues. while at the white house, a pushback against a narrative being promoted by russia, there are some crazy russian claims about the us 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 nation. my family and those of i

have grown as 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 up or over the cost of living. now challenging the powers that be in catholics. don rosalyn jordan al jazeera washington rather than forest walker is monitoring developments for us from tbilisi in georgia. i know it's kind of difficult robin right now and communication lines down, but what do we know? what are you hearing about the situation right now in the streets about mattie? we understand that there is what the authorities, a cooling and anti terrorist operation. and that engine evolving military units, 2 units of police and security services, using all the personnel carriers and other equipment to clear

protesters away from the center of to be for the government to effectively re take control of cars extensions, largest city, the former capital t. and the reports that are coming in and you said it's patching the internet down. it's very difficult getting information out at the moment. the reports that we're getting that that have been serious casualties. the states claiming that it's 13 soldiers or police have been killed and dozens more injured. i've seen social media video of young men, bodies of young men inside marks. we understand as well the, the security services claiming the dozens of riots in their words were liquidated, attempting to overrun police station. so a very chaotic, very violent picture coming out. it's about month because it's the 2nd largest city

in many residence, probably being very wise to stay indoors and stay away from this operation that if that is currently ongoing. alright, and do we know what pos, just c s t o? troops are taking well, the collective secretes security treaty organization, is that russian lead security body of which catholic storm and for the post soviet states are members. and it has now the mandate come in because it's done under the invitation of the president costume, a job to to help restore order. and we know that power truth is a russian power troopers are now on the ground. the catholic storm. i've had confirmation from sources in the government that they are not the route which is in the western part of the country and also, you know,

and whether or not we will seen them using arms against catholic civilians is a distinct possibility. but at the moment, what we know is that they have been invited to come in and restore order. but this is an indication of how desperate the president of catholics on must be in to be requiring outside help foreign forces on his soil. and it is astonishing, really, how quickly it took the cfo to turn around and, and literally put it it's, it's focus on the grounding cause it's done within just 24 hours. just the important point i wanted to get in here is that the anger on the streets that we seen in cities across catholics, if directed against the elite, of which president phil car, it's a party. but many people still believe that the ultimate person holding the

powering has extended the former president north fulton by mister huck. so kind of the current president, we've been attempting to distance himself from that former leadership and hope now that because that people will somehow accept him as the ultimate person 30 now and cause it's done and people will go home and finish their protest across the country . but this really looks like a actually more of a sign of weakness to have requested the help of the csp brought russian troops on the ground inside. cuz it's done and will be a great concern. the many in the country. hi, thanks so much for civil cuz i can install another junk of it. is fighting against the pool taishan from australia the arrive to play in the grand slam tournament, but authorities refused to accept his exemption form for the pandemic entry rules. as lawyers are appealing against the decision in court with the case adjourn now
