modern history including mass looting of businesses. fuel price rises provided the spark. but these protests are about longstanding and legitimate grievances, economic and political stagnation. and the corrupt authoritarian elite anger across the country has been directed at the official leader of the nation. first president nozzle turned, as a bi of his statue toppled in the city of talbot kogan, his whereabouts unknown. on thursday president hawkeye took an extraordinary step, inviting a russian led military deployment to secure his authority. shislett apologize, i live this collective security agreement. i have today appealed to the leaders of the c s t o to help kazakstan deal with this terrorist threat to recover. it's no longer a threat. what's happening is undermining video tag or
1:04 am
t of the state to reach the screen. lying in russian troops under the guise of the moscow lead security block. the c s t o could prove decisive, but brussels has urged moscow not to exceed its mandate. it goes without saying that such intervention should respect the sovereignty and the independence of catholics. many in kazakhstan will be wondering, which is worse, the violence or the prospect of their nation depending now on russia to keep the peace. robin for astir walker al jazeera, all as the violins continues in cassock stand, the united nations says people's right to protest peacefully. must be protected. we've seen the press reports, it's hard for us to to confirm them. but what is, what is clear is that all demonstrations or need to be peaceful. people have a right to express the grievances,
1:05 am
it needs to be done peacefully. and security forces need to protect that right. oh and, and show and act with restraint. and i think it's a symptom and also echoed by the high commissioner for human rights. i think for us, the important thing is that a security forces, whether they are cassock or whether they are non causes, troops need to uphold the same a human rights standards, which is to show restraint and protect people's rights to demonstrate peacefully. ah, you as president joe biden has described his predecessor as a threat to democracy on the 1st anniversary of the storming of capitol hill, the january 6th riots saw the government building ransacked by a mob of pro from supporters and the in suing chaos, left 5 people dead including one police officer, alan fisher has more from the white house. it was
1:06 am
a challenge to his presidency before he even became president and one you'd on from the right at capitol hill job. i'd mocked the anniversary with a speech to the nation. for the 1st time in our history, president had not just lost an election. he tried to prevent the peaceful transfer of power. as a violent mob reached the capital, but they failed. the crowd marched on the heart of democracy in the us to challenge the certification of the 2020 presidential election. donald trump claimed he'd been cheated at way, going to the capital, and fueled by anger and lies. his supporters fought battles across capitol hill as they tried to stop congress doing its job. this wasn't a group tourist. this was an armed insurrection. but this moment, this challenge to american democracy has not brought the country together. instead,
1:07 am
president biden's speech, just shoot the fracture in us politics. we must decide what kind of nation are we going to be? are we going to be a nation that lives not by the light of the truth? or the shadow of lies? many republicans opted not to attend the event. some claiming democrats were politicizing the attack. others because they were afraid of offending donald trump . the former president himself was due to hold a news conference in florida on the anniversary he canceled. he was told it would look bad. he did issue a statement saying joe biden was using him to deflect from the awful job he was doing as president and was seeking to divide the country. trump continues to claim without evidence that the election was stolen that he won the election. and american democracy still has to come to terms with him. his supporters. oh, and the de, the storm, the capital. allen fisher. i'll g 0. the white house. and let's cross to john
1:08 am
hender now, who was on that capitol hill where a vigil is taking place? said john, just tell us a little bit about what's going on and what we can expect. well not far from where i was a year ago today, but this is a very different crowd. you can see the hundreds of people here. they are all members of a coalition of liberal organizations. you've come together to hold a vigil in favor of voting rights. that is a direct contrast to the effort to subvert democracy that happened here. a year ago . woman behind me is delegate eleanor holmes norton. she is a representative from washington d. c. she has it vote in committees, but because dc is not a said she doesn't have a vote when it comes to a major congressional legislation. but the point is, this is a group that is trying to celebrate the, the conquest, the victory rather of democracy. a year ago,
1:09 am
and there are hundreds of people here. you'll notice not only is it a different sounding grammar, they look different. they're on like the crowd last year. these people are all wearing masks, are most of them are even though they're outside. and this is one of the few visuals, it's actually here on them all the national mall in washington. today, there are 350 vigils supported by the same organizations all across the us far. but in a little bit, we're going to go to the d. c. j. in the next hour, you're going to see the opposite people who were supporting the insurrection as standing outside of the jail here. and at 35 sites from hawaii to florida, supporting the trumps or borders who were arrested. that's one of the jails where they are being held. and a, there's a possibility, police have been a little bit concerned that might become violent fee, but the group only plans to be there for about an hour and then they're busing their people back out of town. so, so far it appears to be
1:10 am
a peaceful anniversary of this very traumatic event here in the family. thank you john. thank you. wow, joe walsh is a former republican congressman. he says that a year after the storming of capitol hill, the republican party remains firmly under trumps, influence a year removed from a violent attempt to overturn an election. donald trump's hold on the republican party is stronger. so the scary truth is, one of america's 2 major political parties is now completely radicalized and fully anti democracy. there are plenty like me who left the republican party because if you're anti donald trump, there is no place in this party. now, the democrats in america have
1:11 am
a wonderful opportunity to grab all of us, but they're not doing that. republicans will probably do well this year, because democrats and young people will not come out and vote 81000000 people voted for joe biden last year. most of them will not come out this year no effect. chaco, which is parents have come out fighting on behalf of their son. his mother says authorities are treating him like a prisoner joke of it's his chances of playing at the australian open response. now depend on a court decision order authorities refused to accept his medical exemption for not being vaccinated under simmons reports. oh, so the serbian parliament in belgrade protest is joan in support of their national hero. the world's number one in men's tennis. novak joke of each, the demonstration is led by his father who says australia is playing politics with

month. otherwise, the tournament is only open to the fully vaccinated exemption caused a wave of anger among australians who still face some of the toughest travel restrictions in the world joker, which is well known as being against vaccinations. another big name in the sport, believe joker, which has himself to play in some way. i, i feel sorry for him. but at the same time, he know he knew the conditions, things are a lot of months ago. so the actual against juke of each is also causing a diplomatic incident therapy as president describes it as politically motivated. marshall was a called the true it's l. obligation is the state to protect interests of a citizen of were dedicated to that. what not now is that this is a political persecution that everyone is taking part in. even your strain and prime minister jock of each had thought the path was clear of his attempt to the 21st

1:21 am
missouri. mosley eights round the vienna negotiations, put them back on the right track, and a good agreement can be reached if the western parties possess the real will. an intention lifting sanctions means lifting all forms of sanction stipulated in the nuclear agreement and the sanctions that trump re imposed. and that contradicts terms of the agreement. and the latter is in disputed negotiations. we demand guarantees that include not imposing any new sanctions and not re imposing sanctions after lifting them under any pretext. we see that the simplest practical model for this would be when it comes to us exporting oil and obtaining revenues through our banking system. there's an informal and indirect exchange of messages with the americans in vienna. we hear good words from their delegation. but what is important for us is to see practical and serious american actions. as the number of infections across the world continues to rise, the director general of the world health organization says the army con variant of

1:27 am
busiest airports. but after the pandemic head, hong kong introduce tough restrictions, and it became a ghost town. now under new measures to contain the army kron variant. it's unclear when the territories aviation industry will be able to take off again, a government advisor and talk epidemiologist. ivan hung says, although micron is a mild of variant than delta, the border controls are necessary. if you allow old to the virus to run wild basically you put a lot of stress on the health system. and of course with a not satisfactory. so co vaccination rate, a 70 percent, you will have obviously a lot of cases, thousands of flights were cancelled over the year and holiday period when use of ami kron emerged. and many governments band flights from south africa. and in the united states, a mix of army cronan rough weather continues to create headwinds for the sector with hundreds of flights cancelled this week as the virus grounds crew members fly,

1:29 am
use under water robots to get beneath. suede glazier, rather chillingly, it's referred to as the doomsday glacier. that's because it would raise global sea levels by $65.00 centimeters if it were to collapse and melt. recent research shows it's hemorrhaging more and more ice, and it is enormous. it's 192000 square kilometers, just to give you an idea. the glazier is almost the entire size of britain, or karin haywood is a lead scientist on the project, the and explains what they're trying to uncover. it's an enormous gas yet, and if it did completely melts, then it would lead to $65.00 centimeters, a global sea level. so spread across the globe. but we don't think that's going to happen in your lifetime or mine. nonetheless, it's really important to understand when it might start to collapse,
1:30 am
but what we think is happening is that the relatively warm sea water is, is impacting on the base of the sea, of the, of the ice shelf and, and is accelerating the melting of it. and, and that's important because that i shop is kind of propping up the whole glass. yeah. and if we lose a bit of ice from a floating bit, then the rest could start accelerating towards the sea. so. so yes, we're going to be measuring, measuring occurrence on the water awe time. now for reminder of the top stories on al jazeera, a russian lead military.
