a prisoner, cambodian prime minister becomes the 1st foreign leader to visit me and mouse. john took poking accusations of legitimizing the qu, plus i'm around no one to place a dagger to throat democracy. in a searing speech, the u. s. president tears into donald trump for last year's capitol hill attack. ah. cassock stands, government says 26. people have been killed in violence across the central asian country. this week. it's describing them as armed criminals authorities also say 18 police and security forces personnel had died, or more than 3000 people have been arrested. president kasim jamal to kai of also announce orders been mostly restored. the protest began over fuel prices but tapped

into anger against to kyle presidents has been seen as amassing wealth at the expense of that people. robin foster walker is monitoring developments for us from tbilisi in georgia. so how is life looking on the streets right now? this is becoming very difficult situation, particularly mattie at the moment, given all of the reports of the fighting that have been going on a heavy gun battled by the sounds that i've been hearing on so so social media footage that's been released and that makes things incredibly difficult for ordinary people. so we've seen queues, petrol stations, we've seen cues outside bakeries. and another factor to bear in mind is a, given that the internet is down, it's very hard for people to make payments online and or obtain cash. so

ordinary life is really come to a standstill in the city. let's have a look now at why this would be the case. cassock, stones government calls it an anti terror operation. military units on the streets of cassock, stones, 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. fuel price rises provided the

spark. but these protests are about long standing 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 called gun. his whereabouts are known on thursday president hawkeye of took an extraordinary step, inviting a russian lead military deployment to secure his authority, solicit apologize under this collective security agreement. i have to, they appealed to the leaders of the c s t o to help kazakstan bill with this terrorist threat. it's no longer a threat. what's happening is undermining built equity of the state to reach the sky. flying in russian troops under the guise of the moscow lead security block.

the c s t o could prove decisive at brussels, has urged moscow not to exceed its mandate. it goes without saying that such intervention should respect the sovereignty and the independence of kazakhstan. 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. so what we trying to make sense of at the moment is whether the protests are happening across the country are also somehow being interfered with. what might say with the violence that we're seeing, the fighting, the heavy fighting that is going on. and some of the voices coming out of catholics on from people who genuinely want reforms saying, you know, look, actually we didn't want these marauders going through our cities loose and taking

up arms. and we're not the terrorist. we are not terrorists. we've seen banners outside on republic square with some of the heavy fighting has been taking place of protested, saying exactly this. but at the same time it is perplexing as to how come such heavy resistance is being put up against the state. and a lot of people following events and exposure scratching their heads as to what exactly is going on. and there are some theories, plausible theories that the president at the moment president is actually involved in a power struggle of his own within the country. potentially with those elements of the previous government under and as a buyer who i mentioned in that report, it's a very complex picture. however, but for the time being, this may be one explanation as to why the president has on its own asked for c s t

o intervention. because it's a very dramatic step to have offered a russian lead force to come in because it's done. and that's what we're seeing taking place now. whether or not they themselves will take up arms, the foreign troops against civilians or against these armed individuals in our matthew or elsewhere, which still waiting to see whether that will happen or whether they will simply look off the key infrastructure in context on to keep the piece. all right, thanks so much robin there. from to lucy. this trailyn government is insisting that wolf number one tennis star novak jock of ich, is not being held against his will. the vaccine mandate critic remains in the hotel used to detain refugees and asylum seekers. australian home affairs minister, karen. andrew says if he wants he can go mister john, the is not bank hill held captain in australia. he is free to late at any time that

he chooses to do so in order for possible actually to some a tight that are in relation say, and other people who are in immigration detention with are they in, in white hill in melbourne, or whether it be else way in australia and those people are they because they don't have a dollar and these are all they are here illegally. he in australia for maybe a number of reasons. and we treat all people who are in the immigration detention daily. i'm joke of which is parents of lashed out at the australian government's refusal to allow them into the country. his chances of playing at the australian open this month now depend on a court decision under summons explains. oh, so the survey of 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 a call in, they want to throw him on his knees. this would happen. they never managed to throw sir, be on its knees. we never attacked any one. we only defended ourselves. a novak is defending himself, now. brothers and sisters, our heart, our soul applied to some awful sir 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 down as we are child to do 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 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 action against joker, which is also causing a diplomatic incident, serbia's president describes it as politically motivated. marshall was a called the true it's l. obligation is the state to protect interests of our citizens. ups were dedicated to that. what not now is that this is a political persecution that everyone is taking part into even your straining prime

minister, jock of the chad 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 out as you are. joining me now from cambra is abil recei. he was the senior official at australia's immigration department. good to have you with us. so listening that the statement by australia's home affairs minister, it sounds like he is only in this hotel because he wants to wait to see what the court will decide on whether to let him in. is that the correct way to characterize what's going on? yes, he's waiting for the outcome of the, the court. frankly, i thought the, the minister's comments about him not being held captive is, was, was sort of street. the fact is, once of a, the hold of the razor industry is cancel. they are mandatorily on the law required

to be held in detention. the minister would know the law. so according to the law, he shouldn't be held in detention. you're saying, i'm saying he must be holding detention. there isn't a, there isn't a choice. above. as we heard from the hub of essence as she says, basically he can leave whenever he wants. well, that's true. but what he wants to do is play tennis. and at the start and open and, and she would know that it's ok. but just to clarify the situation. if he decided, you know, i don't want to wait any longer for this court decision. i just want to leave with any legal reason that he can't do that. there's nothing. there's nothing restricting him from doing that. but as we all know what he wants to do, playing the study, know, right. so i mean in that sense, what the strategy and have a 5 minutes, if that was accurate than that he's only there because he wants to wait for a court decision he's,

he's not prevented from traveling on was if he decided to do that, right? he's not prevented from leaving astray yet, but he cannot walk around australia, right? understood. maybe we can clarify a little bit. there are some details which are not really clear here. does no one when you apply for a visa, does not actually check the application until you get to the airport to see did you apply for the right be that you have the right supporting documents and so on? it varies depending on the nature of the visa and the nature of the application. so these are that mr. joker be applied for with an online visa, which has an auto grant function. the government has the option of turning the auto grand function on or off, depending on circumstances. initially, since the people water grant function was turned on and there were no alerts relating to mister john reaching the system. and as a result, the computer granted him a reason is that an individual case by case decision,

when you say the government turn the auto grand option on. in other words, did somebody say, oh, this is novak junk of which we know he's a big star. let's turn on the auto grand option or is this something that's completely automated? has nothing, doesn't matter who you are. now, it wouldn't matter to the person. what's the order grant function was on, but the system has an, has the capacity to alert the human that mr. joker, which is the applied for these are kind of human, could of intervene if that alert had been put in place. so the default setting is all her ground is switched on for, for all the facts. and that's what you're ok. no, no, only all these applicants in this category in this category, beg your, pardon, ok, but then you the 2nd part of your answer. do we know if the system santana loves, and whether there was any human intervention after that,

we have no evidence of any human intervention. after that point, can we have no information about whether an alert was triggered? so i know the system has the capacity to trigger alert, but the alert wasn't put in place. it would be on what basis would be triggered typically. well, it could have been simply an alert, which said, well mr. john, which is a known anti bexar. so his name would be included in what's known as the movement leaves. and if he had applied to the visa, that would have a list of the human to intervene. that's interesting. so does that mean that there is an anti vac celeste that is linked to this type of visa application? and none of this is more general based called a movement, a little list under which a whole host of people can, can be included. and there is a human could have been, could have included mr. joker, which is name, knowing that he was coming to australia or intending to come to australia to plan the straight and open. and that he had strong anti vaccination on that basis. they

could have included his name on the list or this is really fascinating. i'd like to go into more of this with you on for sure. we are at the time, maybe on a another day or another show later. perhaps. thanks so much of an issue. you're welcome. kimberly is prime minister is become the 1st foreign leader to visit me and mas military rulers, and then says he's there to help and violence that's been going on since the general sees powell with the year ago. he's representing the association of southeast asian nations. the block is divided about how to deal with the jupiter, and qu, opponents in the mind abroad accused from sense of legitimizing. the genta still had an al jazeera nigerian government tries to turn the screws on criminal gangs. blame for recent kidnappings. food prices have risen dramatically across the world and it may lead to people in poor countries going hungry. ah,

ah, look forward to brighter skies. the weather sponsored my cattle airways. hello, the weather is looking rather more mobile now across a good part of here, benz of cloud and rain sweeping in from the northwest into central parts. we have got a large area of high pressure that's keeping things a little settled here, but it will weaken as we go through the next day or so. more wet and windy weather also swirling away in the mediterranean. so some more heavy rain coming, his southern part of italy, grassy, making his way across into a good passive gray says that where to whether that milder air pushing into were western parser ahead of that temperatures around 6 celsius there for london, 8 degrees there for paris the re talking, it's wayne, as we go on through friday, bumping into the colder air. so there is some snow around just around the parts of germany, easing into poland. and there's, that's a stormy weather that we do have

a cross central parts of the mediterranean for italy. southern parts of the bulk is pushing across into greece steps a little further east, which as you go through sad stay more cold air talking in behind. some significant snowfall coming in across the balkans for a time. mother and wet weather will make its way back in across the north west for a good pass of the year. the british charles and the island of ireland. we got some rain also making his way into a good part of france. some of that wet weather, also affecting the far north west of africa with the chances some showers there. the chat for the weather sponsored by katara, always killing the debate. 90 percent of the world's ricky gees have come from a common impacted country. i'm. it's emergency is putting more pressure on cities across the world and amplify your voice. it's not really the future, it's now not our completely, please get a lot can get it completed back. we cannot lose hope. we know what to do and we have the tools to do to get back the master bill page. this team are now to sierra,

[000:00:00;00] with a worker back here watching al jazeera time. to recap the headlines. now, catholic stance. president says order has been largely restored off the days of violent protest that began over a surgeon fuel prices. police anal marthy say they killed 26 people while 18 officers have died. russian troops are on the grounds at the request of price. australia is insisting tennis star novak doc, of which is not being held against his will and is free to leave the country to

remains in the hotel used to detain refugees and asylum seekers after his entry. visa was revoked. his case is currently before the course. cambodian prime minister hon san is holding talks with me and miles military rulers and a bid to resolve the ongoing civil unrest. he's visiting as a representative of the association of southeast asian nations, which is leading diplomatic efforts to help implement a piece plan. terry chang is following the visit from bangkok in labouring thailand all across melma. over the last couple of days, people have been posting images on social media of them. stamping on pictures of hanson burning pictures of him are people have bombarded his facebook page is official facebook page. with so many negative comments, he's actually had to turn them off, or his staff of had to turn them on. so i think there's very little expectation that he will engage with the so called opposition, the people who oppose the crew in the military government. and the military itself is said at this stage,

there's very little chance that he'll meet any of those leaders particularly uncensored. she and when meant the former president, who had been locked up since sir coup in february of last year, what he does aim to achieve it is really quite hard to determine. his foreign minister said in statements a couple of days ago that mir mark currently has all the ingredients for a country which is heading toward civil war. i think perhaps the best way to view this is through the lens of hans and himself. he is the leader who's been in power for 36 years. he's just nominate his, his son, his successor. he seems to be preparing to step down. but if he could step into the, into this very difficult situation and cast himself in the role of peacemaker. it might give him a, a legitimacy and a legacy which will go beyond just the boundaries of cambodia itself and put him as a really significant player on a global stage. nonetheless, it is a very complicated situation and it's one which is fraught with danger.

ah, you asked fraser and joe biden says his predecessor is still a threat to democracy. a year after hundreds of donald trump's support is attacked . capital building the capital building in washington, d. c. a biden searing speech to mark the anniversary was met with more defiance from trump. shebra tansy reports from washington. go back to that day. what do you see? it was an address, an outrage. now 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 for the president, followed back shortly afterwards, dismissing the commemorations of political theatre the democrats on their own this day of january the 6th. so they can stay 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 liz cheney, 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 action 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 you actually you court jobs pepper sprayed morales. justin followed the sea of humanity that they were trapped 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 her day for us. i remember her 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 in 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. more than a 3rd of americans still believe joe biden did not win the presidency legitimately or unsure if he did. and most republicans believe the writers were defending democracy. the history of january, the 6th them is still unsettled for many across the country. he ebert, m c al jazeera washington nigeria is government has labeled criminal gangs as terrorist organizations, the gangs of land from mass kidnappings. earlier this week, soldiers rescued 97 hostages, who were abducted more than 2 months ago to dallas and bar reports from a boucher heavily armed groups, half terrorized people in towns and villages in central and northwest. my dear for years and i did nothing. now security officials,

as stepping up efforts to craig knows some of the violence on wednesday, the major and government branded the criminal gangs as terrorist groups. in a television interview, prison mohammed double harry said, we liberate them terry's. we're going to deal with them as such. the pundits as the amend luckily have been responsible for mess, abductions and kidnappings, for ransom and destruction of property. some politicians believe the security measures will help to ease fears. the people don't play happy with one of the birds done. and i will also give the government opportunity to do deploy on all that means it was there, but i mean it, it tried to give them some kind of a non can it moves but them on because you goods and eating on what locality most do do jack, members, sir, malice,

the government or them means the military can deploy more military hardware, including seeking international support. but the security expert feels that government needs to do more at a political, psychiatric level. i think they're completely have your own perception of what the situation is on ground. and so their reactions have arisen extremely slow, lack of practice, nets and creativeness. they have never really visited the issue with the suck of adults. you expect a country that is at war to be able to, going to be on the switch on, on ground security agencies seem to have made the head we, with the recent release of some hostages and the recorded killing of some leaders of the group with political leaders seeking a soft landing for the content fighters the leading band. it's most

of them and i love the trees. so there is need for government and her also all communities to rise to talk to the issue of seeing how we can get this people or whoever needs it. they give it cation us one or, well, i'd love a treat securities expected to be a major talking point, a head of general elections in 2023. it remains to be seen. if president mohammed will, harry would have fulfilled his electra promise to end in security. before handing over fidelis in bar, i'll jazeera bolger thailand, this tightening cove at 19 restrictions emitter surgeon infections fuel. by the on the kron variant, the government is extending the suspension of its entry program, known as the test and go. it allowed fully vaccinated visitors from low risk countries to undergo just one night of quarantine. travelers already approved to

a composition of our index. and we've had consecutive increase in the price worldwide for good, good part of last year. i would say not only the last 4 months and for some commodities all the way through if you look at the are subbing next revisions. lloyd's, the track prices are all over so 170 percent year on year. and there are record. so it has been a year of, for writing prices for a host of reasons, trouble which is tied to supplies for some of those commodities worldwide specially export supplies. but also strong demand. many people expected the start of the unit say last year design. that in fact, because of coal with because of depend, i make an economic conditions. we would see a decline in this didn't really happen. so we have increase the more and we had tighter supplies and then they were of course, other factors. so energy markets,
