cuz it's don kyrgyzstan and to g cust on. they conduct training exercises and oversee arm sales. this is the 1st time in the organizations history where it's agreed to deploy troops to a member state or few, several requests in the past, getting one from care guests on in 2010 and in armenia last year. article 4 of the charter says it will only do so if one of its members is threatened by an external force. while the secretary of state says he has concerns about the need for russian lead troops inside cuz it's done. we're encouraging everyone to find a peaceful resolution and constructive resolution to the situation. ah, when it comes to the c, f c o, o, we have questions about the nature of the request or wide came about. we're seeking to learn more about it. it would seem to me that the conduct authorities in government certainly have the capacity to deal appropriately
1:06 am
with, with protests, to do so in a way that respects the rights of protesters while maintaining law in order. so it's not clear why they feel the need for any outside assistance or such a full strong scares senior fellow in the russia erasure program. the carnegie endowment for international peace, he explained who is involved in the unrest. there's a lot of concern, a lot of lack of clarity over who is in control of these violent groups and who is backing them. so what appears to be happening is there appears to be both a bottom up protest in the bottom up descent. and then there are, you know, elite and there's a big, there's been a big power reshuffle in the country. mr. to kai, of the current president has removed virtually all the, the people who are loyal to his predecessor from the government. so this is more than just a bottom up roles. there's also a lot of the lead politics, you know,
1:07 am
shifting here. and it's not quite clear it looks like, you know mr. kyle is, is the one who's, who's ahead. but you know, down the road, there's going to be a lot of other decisions about how the economic resources are going to be divided. so we really don't know how this is going to pan out. it has to generalize warner. the russian threat to its member nations is high. foreign ministers spoke about the russian military build up on the border with ukraine on a video, coal tensions between russia. the us and european nations have been rising and recent months as a team of christians expressed on ease about the organizations, expansion, weapons deployment and inform us soviet states. the russian military buildup has lost not stopped. it continues. ah, and there are gradually building up our with more forces, more capabilities. so we see armored units. we'll see artillery. we'll see a comma to the troops of course, that censor message. but those of you risk for new oh,

on conflict in europe. but that's exactly why it is so important to gauge and dialogue on a santa etha appear now, because several leaders from opposition groups have been freed. with the intention that dialogue will begin to end the regional conflicts. now opposition party. they're scanned or nagger on the left was that one of the 1st to be released by the government, vice chair of the opposition party, bethany aroma area de jane to far was also let go charges against your mohammed have been dropped as well. he founded an aroma media group or the prisoner releases really the most significant breakthrough since war broke out in the northern te grey area. 13 months ago, fighting between the army and rebels is divided the country leaving thousands dead and millions displaced. some of those freed will leaders of the 2 great people's liberation from a main faction fighting central government. ah,
1:09 am
3 white men convicted of murdering black man. a mode aubrey in your state of georgia, have been sentenced to life in prison. the judge handed down the sentence to father and son, gregory, and travis michael without a possibility of parole to the neighbor. william bryan was also sentenced to life, but conceit parole after 30 years, sentences come nearly 2 years after the men chased down unarmed him. i'd armory before shooting him. i knew that to day would come when when it would come. i didn't know, but i know today the family call me as well. i said, thank you all who supported me, who stood with me buddhist very love, very, very long, hard fight back when a man was killed on the 23rd of february. that the 30
1:10 am
a bronze with thought that i would have to fight this fight alone. so they chose to ignore me because they thought they would have to face me alone. but they didn't know that i had you guys to stand with me man. chaper chancey is in washington with more on this. and obviously that has been reaction our from my to aubrey's family was about the wider response to this ruling. not still come again, but i don't think it can be under stated just how surprised and shocked everyone's been actually ever since the jury came in with a verdict off a of 3 white men being held accountable in the deep south. even in the 20, in 2021 for killing a black baron for killing a black band because he was jogging through the neighborhood. the sense of disbelief that we saw when the, when the jury have about the verdict and the joy that we see now from the family members and others. it just speaks volumes about how you know,
1:11 am
how well by race relations in this country from, especially in the deep south. and we always have to remember that's the point. is that, that, that sort of celebration of accountability is always tens with the fact that nothing was going to happen. in the immediate aftermath of aubrey's death, the local police, the local prosecutors all believed these 3 white men now convicted of murder. that aubrey was up to no goods, he would have to be up to no good after all, why was a black man running through the neighborhood, the police, except that the local prosecutors accepted that and only a few weeks later when video footage was released. and what actually happened weirdly by someone who was supporting these men, that the federal authority to the state authorities rather stepped in and said, wait a 2nd this, this, this isn't right. so that but, but it didn't real so much about about race relations, enjoy drugs and in america. and so these men can appeal their sentences and they are facing a federal hate crime strong next month. but all a judge was deciding today was having been convicted of murder. all 3 did face life
1:12 am
in prison. what he was trying to decide was whether they would be given the opportunity to offer parole after 30 years. in the event, only one man was withdrawn to that possibility of pro in 30 years because he expressed some remorse. the other 2, in fact, had 20 a life plus 20 years. so consecutive sentence added to that to that sentence because the judge really seem to be to have thought about this very deeply. and in fact, at one point have a minute of silence. just just to say that everyone could feel what aubrey must have felt, or how long aubrey was running for his life while he was being chased for these. but he's been for no reason and then eventually killed. all right, thank you very much. abra tansy are voicing to us from washington. now india is experiencing another covert outbreak with daily new infections more than doubling in 3 days to over 117000. government is now imposing tied to restrictions which include mandatory home quarantine for all international passenger arrivals. and you
1:13 am
measures apply even if travelers return and negative cova test at the airport. the chief minister of the asam state and ne, in india said that all cases of the virus will be treated on chron. surgeon, new cases comes after a number of important religious festivals and gatherings over the holiday period. last year the delta varied overwhelmed hospitals and health systems in the country . poverty miss al is in new delhi. what this basically means is that everybody who now flies into india when have to quarantine at home for a week. and then on the 8th day tick, lab test tests with the virus and upload the results on a government portal so that authorities are in the know. also remember in the already mandates passengers to test before boarding a flight and to present a negative test. now, many states already had their own travel restrictions, but what's been happening is that a large number of passengers who have been coming from abroad have been testing
1:14 am
positive on arrival just a couple of hours ago. there was a charter flight from room that arrived in the city of unreturned more than a 170 passengers on that flight tested positive on arrival. now the state of bengal, earlier, had suspended all direct flights from the u. k. it also went ahead and restricted domestic flights from jelly and moved by 2 of the hardest hits cities. and now the state requires all passengers from outside the state to present in negative test. before arriving the state of cannot go inside and india also has a testing mandate for some passengers coming from certain states. so like my roster and go and some other states that have high cobra 19 cases mom by which again crossed the 20000 mark in new cases, has already been testing all passengers up on arrival. will 200 british military

1:16 am
have tested positive for coffee, 900 last week. the real figure could actually be higher because testing has become quite tricky in recent weeks, or people having trouble getting hold of kids. but anyway, the situation is now the government says that 200 members of the military, you're being asked to help around london hospitals. $3040.00 of them, a medics. the rest will be helping with things like checking people aiden, but it's very, very small in terms of what's needed around the country. so that for you on the program, what have you about controversial visit by cambodia? 5 minutes? it's me and mom us regional head of state to do size and joke, which speaks out for the 1st time from his melvin quarantine hotel as another tenant stories now from entering on straight ah

unclear how much backing who and sen has from other regional leaders. but his arrival in myanmar could divide assay and further. it's also very unlikely henson will meet any of the jail democratic leaders deposed in the qu, but he may be looking for some time in the global spotlight himself. consent are realized that he is going to play the central role on the stage. he relishes that. i think it also is something that makes countries that have criticized him like the united states and the european union need him that they need his co operation. protest is inside minima have consistently called for the international community to pay more attention to the cause. but a visit from one of the longest serving authoritarian leaders in the world is unlikely to bring them the attention they want tony ching al jazeera. no, that joke of which is made. his 1st comments has been detained by australian immigration officials. the tennis, well,
