under pressure, venezuela's, defense minister belied the meat pie. the reno said the on forced his where o blige to defend that come through from the regular groups that added that human rights needed to be respected. and that the events at that border with be investigated, ah, dozens of protested and security forces dead in kazakhstan as a wash and lead military contingent moves in on antique government demonstrates us . ah, hello, i'm adrian said again. this is al jazeera, alive from doha, also coming up former president and his supporters had decided the only way for them to win his fresh your vote, subvert or election. it's wrong, it's on democratic. and frankly,

it's on american tough talk from us president joe biden on the 1st anniversary of the attack by a white wing mob on the capital. lawyers for the walt number one tennis stall, novak chunk of its, tried to stop his deportation from australia after his visa was revoked. over corona virus rules and nigeria as government labels, criminal gangs, terrorists to try to stop mass abductions and violence. ah, police in kazakhstan is largest city say that they've killed dozens of rices in the last 24 hours as protests over a fuel price hike. descend into chaos. on thursday, there was more gum fi and i'll massey with a made square. so fierce battles between police and demonstrators of witness day protests, set, fire, and government buildings,

and at least 18 security personnel died. regional players are stepping in to help to contain the violence. a russian lead military alliance as deployed troops at the president's request. the un is urging restraint. 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 are need to be peaceful. people have a right to express their grievances, 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 sentiment 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 cousin. troops need to uphold the same of human rights standards, which is to show restraint and protect people's rights. to demonstrate peacefully,

russia says the worst violence in decades is inspired from outside catholics, not as long been one of the most stable of the ex soviet republics of central asia . robin for us, the a walker is monitoring events from tbilisi and georgia cuz its don's government calls it an anti terror operation. military units on the streets of casks, don's largest city al matty authorized to use lethal force against protesters earlier. some of the protesters overran police units and distributed weapons. security forces have confirmed at least 18 officers killed in more than $700.00 wounded. the number of civilians dead or wounded is unknown, but video circulating on social media appears to show morgues, filling up with bodies. this is violence on a scale not seen in cassock, stones,

modern history, including mass looting of businesses. her 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 tao. the code gun. his whereabouts are known on thursday president til kaya took an extraordinary step inviting a russian led military deployment to secure his authority. shislett apologize under this collective security agreement. i have today appealed to the leaders of the c s

t o to helps catholics down below it. this terrorist threat to recover it's no longer a threat. what's happening is undermining the integrity of the state to reach the sky. 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 edward chart says a professor of political science at the university of toronto. he says that people are angry because the government didn't deliver on its promises. what we're hearing is that, that context on is now experiencing this,

these, this protest wave in various ways, depending on the region that you're in. the biggest city almighty is quite besieged right now. there's a lot of street shooting. there's a lot of looting. there's a lot of writing as is, has been described. and although the center appears to be cracking down on the center of the city, that is the outskirts or nothing, nothing but out of control. but outside of the, the city of alma t, things appeared to be quite different in many cities across the country. the security forces of sided with the protesters. and so there are some pretty touching and positive themes coming from the west, western part of the country. where this actually began, and so it's living quite variously at the moment and we'll see how it goes in the next in the next couple of days to think about what was flamel is what we need to do and what was flammable. here was the, the enormous gap between the promises that were being offered by this authoritarian

regime. the promises about, you know, anyone can live a comfortable middle, middle class lifestyle. and of course, the regime probably believed its own propaganda. and so propaganda was based on will receipts, at least theoretically raising all all boats across society. but that didn't materialize. and people felt the increasing gap between the promises that were being offered and there lived reality. ah, us president joe violence as his predecessor remains a threat to democracy, a year after the storming of the capital, the building was ransacked by supporters of donald trump. in the rise on january, the 6th 5 people died in the violence before president has dismissed the commemorations as political theater was 0, she returns the reports from washington. go back to that day. what do you see? it was an address of an outrage. now,

the storm this capital and those who instigated and incited, and those who called on them to do so, held a dagger at the throat of america, an american democracy president, biting reference donald trump more than a dozen times over the course of his speech, not by name 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 breached the capital. but they failed, before the president followed by shortly afterwards, dismissing the commemorations of political theatre. but democrats on their own this day of january the 6th, so they can stick fears. i'm divide america. that divided american was filial display throughout the day after immigrations and events on capitol hill, just one republican was seen at least chaney, accompanied by her father, former vice president, dick cheney. and a ceremony mocking the ride in the house of representatives. now the speaker of the

house paid tribute to the us capital police expired because of them. congress was able to defeat the answer erection to return to the capital that same night to ensure that the peaceful transfer of power took place because of them. and our members, the insurrection tailed. oh, as night fell duelling vigils took place across the city. this small event outside dcs. joe, to protest against the continued incarceration of some general 6 protests. these guys who were at supper, maybe a dozen of you doesn't who actually you hugs, pepper sprayed, more or less just followed the sea of humanity that they were traveling across town approaches to mounting that congress protect voter rights as republican controlled states use the law of an illegitimate election to restrict access to the bailiff. this event also remind her of the terror of the storming of the capital on per day

for us. i remember ah, crawling on my knees under banisters with a cane in one hand because i just had a knee replacement surgery 5 weeks before. i remember lying on the floor with the gas mask in one hand and the cane and the other thinking about how if i couldn't get up and leave, which i didn't think i would be able to, that i would attack the knees of whoever came to attack me because i wasn't going to take it lying down. not without a fight of bird of american still believe joe biden did not win the presidency legitimately or unsure if he did. and most republicans believe the writers were defending democracy in the history of january. the 6th is still unsettled for money across the country. he, every time see al jazeera washington, john henry has more from outside the jail in washington, dc where some of the riots is being held. and where a small group of trump supporters gathered. i'm outside the washington

d. c. jail. you can see police officers on this side who are stopping this crowd from going any further. most of the day has been occupied with pro democracy vigils . but this one is a pro insurrection of vigil. it is at ms jails. dozens of people have been held for their actions one year ago today on january 6th, 2021. and the group of people you were here were talking with look ahead america and organization. it says that many people are being held unjustly and it is demanding that people who are being held for non violent offences be released on the mall. the national law here just a short while ago. busy there were pro democracy demonstrators and we're calling not just for the jailing of these people, but for the expansion of voting rights. and except for this very small group here in washington, d. c. today,

the entire day has been devoted to the peaceful approach as against what happened on january 6. a chinese national has treated guilty in the us court to stealing trade secrets from agricultural technology giant monsanto. in 2017 former employee shanghai toe was caught trying to board a flight china while carrying software developed bio monsanto. the justice department says that he planned to give the technology to the chinese government. the u. s. as long accuse china of stealing intellectual property from american firms charged the china denies. i know clinic has a full us deputy assistant secretary of defense, east asia. he says, it's just another example showing the extent of china's espionage operations. i believe is illustrative of the chinese government's multi dimensional efforts at obtaining through the various listed and illegal means secrets across the board

. not just what we may assume to be focused on military, diplomatic or political issues, but also economic, technological and quite frankly, even agricultural, anything that can give the chinese state an edge. an advantage over international competitors is becoming more and more gene for whether for a variety of individuals to be arrested and tried for listed activities on behalf of the chinese government. very recently, you may recall a u. s. professor harvard university was also convicted of offences having to do with providing the chinese with information that was not intended for that. so i think this is just one more case among many. and i think again,

this is not just the phenomenon that you find in the united states. you have had many cases in europe and australia in other countries as well. so to come here and i'll just hear a french politicians get a step closer to making it much harder unvaccinated citizens to live a normal life in public. and airlines thought that this could be the come back here . now the carrier is like cafe pacific. i'm wondering how long will be in the m i hello there. let's have a look at the weather across america and is all about the cold air that's pushing its way from the north, down to the south, knocking temperatures down and bringing in those wintry conditions. now was one when to snowstorm moves away from the east coast is heavy snow to the canadian

maritime. we've got another one moving into the west. you can see it behind me. if we take a closer look, we're expecting more heavy snow and heavy rain for the lights, washington, oregon and northern california. we are expecting travel disruption and possible flooding from that, but that snow scoots across the rockies. it is going to clear up here on saturday, but we got more wind to weather edging into west and canada over the weekend. now across central areas, we've seen temperatures come down rather dramatically that snow pushing its way across the canadian prairies. it clears up nicely, however, across the east coast sunshine coming back into new york city on saturday. and it is going to get rather warm for that southeast corner. thanks to a change in the wind, bringing wilma conditions up from the gulf of mexico. we have a look at the temperature change. it's going to be rather dramatic in places like texas. by the time we get into saturday, we have a look at the temperature in houston. it's going to be well above the average with sunshine,

but thunderstorms on sunday. ah, i'm in rural central to the quest for clean energy. a key ingredient for the production of electric car batteries, koval extracting it's dangerous, but profitable with global demand such as skyrocket. people empower, investigates, claims that industrial mines extracting the precious material, needed for cleaner energy, or in fact, poisoning the environment with dire health consequences for those living and their shadow. the cost of coal, both people empower on. i'm just gonna o a

again, this is rogers and the news, this police in catholic stops largest city. i see say that they've killed dozens of rices in the last 24 hours. the process began over a fuel price hike of spreading widespread violet unrest. us president joe biden has described his predecessor, donald trump, is a threat to democracy on the 1st anniversary of life on capitol hill. the chaos is triggered by unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud and the 2020 presidential election at a chinese national has pleaded guilty to us court stealing trade secrets from the agricultural technology giant monsanto. the former employee court trying to port a flight to china carrying software, developed bio monsanto in 2017. in the director general of the world health organization says that the on the kron variant of code 19 appears to be severe,

but should not be categorized as mild because it still poses a significant threat to health systems. just like previous variance, ami krohn is hospitalized in people and it's killing people. in fact, the soon i mean of cases is so huge and quick that it is overwhelming health systems around the world. hospitals are becoming overcrowded and understaffed. we must effectively share the vaccines that are being produced throughout most of 2021. this was not the case, but toward the end supply increased. the african union centers for disease control, so severe lockdown, so no longer the best way to contain cobit 19. the agency praised south africa for avoiding strict restrictions. after all, the current cases appeared to be less severe. south africa,

experienced record numbers of new infections, and mid december, less than 10 percent of africa's population has been fully vaccinated against coven, 19 below a house of france. as parliament has approved tougher cove at 19 measures of the 3 days of intense debate, the bill would make full vaccination mandatory for a wide range of activities such as attending public events or traveling on into city trains. i'll just here is natasha butler reports now from paris. it's not a surprise because the government has a majority in the lower house of parliament. the bill than 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, leisure facilities, everyday life for them will certainly become a lot harder now. the bill i was finding

a provide parliament there has to be said of the 3 incredibly in days of debate in the parliament, often chaotic being overshadowed also by the french presence rather controversial comments on wednesday when he said that he was going to really tight. the screws and go off to unvaccinated people in france. what they are doing is they are betting on this vaccine pass as a way to try and persuade the loss. they say 5000000 adults are eligible for the faxing to go and get immune eyes and look. they're looking at the records of the current health pulse. now the health pulse 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 pulse is necessary to go to a restaurant or a bar only 3040 percent of people in france that, that they want to get a vaccine. as soon as that policy was put in place, people rushed to get their jobs the government. so hoping that going to be the same thing. now that it will force people to go and get vaccinated,

whether it will or not. of course, we don't know, but the health minister did say on wednesday that some 66000 people had actually registered for their 1st dose of a covey vaccine. so they see that as an encouraging sign, the parents of wolf number one tennis plan, novak joke of which have lashed out at this trillion government's refusal to allow him into the country. his mother says that authorities are treating him like a prison up joke of. it's just chances of playing up yesterday and open this month now to pen a court decision and rescindence 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 his sons career. after they got that call in, they want to throw him on his knees. this won't happen. they never managed to throw

sir, be on its knees. we never attacked any one we only defended ourselves. and novak is defending himself now. brothers and sisters, our heart are so i'll find some awful said brian early. this is the moment when jock of each is about to realize his entry into australia is blocked, his visa revoked. it isn't a tennis court, he's going to instead, he's waiting for a court hearing on monday that will rule on his deportation. for now he's in a government quarantine hotel. his mother is outraged. they are keeping him, is it really is just not very human. i just called if you will be john, as we actually love to, to, to be a joke of each had a medical exemption to let him play at the australian open tournament later this 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 geography, 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 condition sings a lot of months ago. so the action against duke of each is also causing a diplomatic incident. sir b as president describes it as politically motivated. michelle was the called the true it's l obligation of the state to protect interests of our citizen who loves we're dedicated to that. what's not there is that this is a political persecution that everyone is taking part in. even the australian prime minister, jock of each had thought the path was clear for his attempt to the 21st grand slam . instead, he faces what could be a road block, and with it a world wide debate on whether he's been fairly treated. andrew simmons al jazeera,
