reportedly attacked 8 villages on tuesday. that followed it strikes on monday, which the military said killed. $100.00 bandits, including 2 ladies. dozens of hostages were rescued on tuesday after being abducted by groups 2 months ago. let's get the latest from correspondent now i'm an interest who's in nigeria as capital boucher. hello, there i'm and what more do we know about this recent deadly attack? well, basically, this happened because of days of intense bombardment of binded high doubts in the zone for a stage and other neighboring states. remember this conflicts trotted more than about a decade ago, and we haven't seen increased military activity until the last 3 years when the president ordered that the military be deployed to tackle what was been a growing threat since then. it has metal forced into a monster that to d today within massacres was than this before. and as i'm for

a state we've seen recently about 40 travelers were burned to live in a bus and attacked blamed on this bended. so right now, what's happening in the 10 villages typed by the banded school, the president said, what are treating from these strikes? what carried out in 10 villages? so the villagers are actually not going back to these villages. some of these villages have been completely destroyed. med of mine in school hearts and things like that. they're only going back now to recover buddies. i said 24 hours ago, 100 more than 150. such bodies have been recovered. some of them have been burned or mutilated on recognition. so at the moment what is happening is that we are expecting to see more burials, and as the recovery effort continues in some for a state. and they are just her refill accounts of violence. but this is certainly not an isolated incident. how did we get to this point?

what the conflict is for a state like in other parts of north west nigeria. in fact, there are 6 states, you know what niger and 5 of them have been affected by this crisis? the kidnapping for run some the attacks by the spend. it started on a smaller scale. it started as a conflict between promise and colonel herders of access to land and water, then low cost such vigilante to protect themselves. then a tit for tat ensued between the attackers will cut rustlers as well as the vigilantes and things got out of hand with authority, if not willing, then about 10 years ago, taking the necessary action to stop this from expanding father. now as a result, criminal gangs from elsewhere, including of course book caching in and on the problem. and so it has now go into a bigger monster. now emily nigeria, there are 3 stages of government,

the federal government, the state government, and the local government levels. now what is happening at the local government level, which is closer to the people, is that the system has completely collapsed in most parts of nigeria. at the result, these government spaces have been taken over by this band. these are criminals who have now set up their own campus in these areas, taking control, taxing people killing at random. second, they're all, those are still sort of to struggle to deal with the problem. emily, thank you very much for breaking it down for us. i'm at the address live for us in a bu jump. ok, let's get some more analysis now and bring in a block of coffee is a senior analyst at the tony blake institute for global change. change rama. he joins me live via skype from london. that thanks for being on this news, our boy lama. as we heard from our correspondent, there's been widespread unrest caused by different armed and political groups. can you further break that down for us?

sure. and so the particular area we are talking about now is the northwestern part of nigeria. where can you mail guns? no. can you call it monday, have been reaching, have work for the past 10 years. and the, an estimated 30000 of them are divided into about a 10100 different groups with about 300 men each of these groups. and then what was originally criminal, they kidnapped people, an extra richard runs on from done on in the last 10 years they have killed over 10000 people. but the situation as how much i said it's collected beyond the coordination in the last 3 years. and as we are torch in death last year, 2021 over 1010 and a half 1000. nigerians were killed by a criminal in criminal violence. and over half of them were in that part of the country. over 4 and a half 1000 people were abducted and some of them have been released after payment

of lunch on some have been killed and some include in school children ask us to in captivity today. it is a nasty, nasty, or a sick situation. unfortunate federal fans like that. the lama. what does this going for cycle band? it's want, what say motivation is it purely financial? as i said, it was initially purely financial. unfortunately, they have over the past 10 years, extorted and estimated $20000000.00 from or 90. not julians, and so could not be what the last 3 years especially became was driving industry the biggest business in nigeria, especially with the economic impact of 19. i mean, legal companies don't make the amount of money criminal guns i'm making these payments come from 199 units. but also from studio forces off is that i could not, and their families would have to pay ransom before you and dad loved ones. and that

was the same for $99.00, just that these offices i kidnapped and they paid, i'm something everyone would have to pay. i'm so the government is this. i mean funding it had an extended ignorance of what's going on. well, it was a big business. and then there were limits of these groups. i said there were about 100 of them. none of them have been infiltrated by book or am, which is the group gaming fight for that many days in the northeast and of nigeria . it's us that see that in some element of funded for some of them and now i can be $292.00. i do look at reasons that are also other strengths and so it is a complex, big job that is getting dent year by the d. maybe the final point i would mention is the fact that over the last 12 months since december 20 and not 2021. we saw us in new chapter of tiger schools over 1000

children where kidnapped and held in captivity for men in a different attacks. and about that, you know where these yesterday, that's 70 n j one month activity. but some of the equity as to in the you of this or if you minutes. it's a situation we appreciate your time on his knees. alabama. mccarthy, a senior analyst at the tiny blaine institute for global change. thank you to sedan now where security forces have 5 tea gas into crowns, protesting against the military government. earlier bridges were closed around the capitol cartoon to deter demonstrators, the main pro democracy group has rejected you in efforts to get sedans, transition to civilian will, back on track, following developments, mahonnan val is life for us in on demand in the capital cartoon. hello there,

mohammed, what is the latest one? he sang on the ground and we've heard that t gas has been fight yes, immediately a gas has been used in the central comp tome against thousands of protest as whole march to words, the presidential policy. it's i to reach the building, but they couldn't to, as usual. they wealth water pushed back by heavy presence of security forces using tear gas here in on demand where i stand, the crowd is just picking up. it is a bit behind us should yield usually they thought earlier than now, but to they were, are seeing this movement of people, you know, towards the same. they are converging here and it is a bit slow. as you can see, very calm or people trying to march through this street. this is not the usual street which that use. so that it could be a toxic. they have suddenly changed the, the highway that they used every time they protest. but anyway, down time to march, to was the presidential pollies time to march to worst center come to him,

but not takes crossing the bridges, which are understandably closed. the security forces are lying in wait. 7 c c in big numbers, and what happens every time that you try to match is have use of tear gas on. sometimes 5 bullets people get killed here on, dorman, ha, not has been big chase over the last couple of weeks and to they. i mean everyone here saying they are expecting the same to happen. but as you can see, they are adam into these will testers, that they will not go back home to lady elisa gold, which she's a complete removal of the military. from paula, we have heard about us not initiative by the un yesterday, but they haven't yet delivered the details so, so many players yet. and so that, and many of the components of, of this, so i, many of the stakeholders are saying they have not yet received the detail, but oh, so they, i'm not going to negotiate with the military. and here i'm talking about that

assistance committees law behind these protests and also about the movement. all the forces of freedom, a change. they have made it categorically clear that they are not going to negotiate with the military or so the up. 3 sedans, doctors, associations to dance professionals, associations, all they have the same united states to words this english with you by the you and to resolve the problems to them. mom, and as you mentioned, this is one of and number of protests that have been happening almost on a daily basis. why did we get to this point? i well, that story is now about 3 years old when the crowds like these marched in the cities for several months and finally were able to remove. but i see that the amount of a sheet from power. but what ensued was a, a, what the kaleidoscope of all bloody events. that there was. then after that that

was a coalition and understanding between the military and the civilians to share power . but that's basha agreement has not survived as fur the civilian component. they say the what's going on, the kind of partnership that has been going on was lame, was not what with this with and he's wanted. and then as everyone knows, an october, that was a crew against the civilian component. prime minister, the lamb duke was put on the house at rest, and some of the ministers was sacked for the government. then it took command for abdullah ham look to be restored, but the civilian that the, the, the, the political agreement that his stuck with the military was not satisfactory to his former allies in the forces of freedom of change. and also the resistance committees. they said he abandoned them, they said to let them down. they said he allied himself with the, with the military who were the killers of people who killed the unarmed civilians. and they, they said he should resign on finally,

he resigned. now we have this power vacuum in terms of the fact that there is no prime minister. now there is no cabinet and that's the situation. now it said deadlock. are you and is flying to find a solution to this. but the sudanese players are unable to come around the same negotiation table and i will thank you for breaking it down. press me appreciated. mohammed val live for us sydney, the capital of cotton $164.00 people have been killed and during days a violent anti government protesting kazakstan authorities there confirmed the arrest of more than $5000.00 people, including former security services chief carry, met, mammals, robin forest walker has moved long queues for fuel and the food as the public comes to terms with reality after the breast. a picture is emerging of a power struggle with in cassock, stones, political elite. in protests this week,

and good was directed at independence as it stands, 1st president, 81 year old, nor so 10 as a by of old man get out they tante with those protests turned violence in mattie, as a boy was removed from the powerful position he still occupied chair of the security council. now, his loyal associate curry must seem off fired from his role as chief of national security. has been charged with high treason versus nother by hand picked cassie jermarta took i have as his successor in 2019 but did not relinquish power. both men played a leadership role attending international meetings together as recently as last month we're that has now changed. we know entry the took i era

like it this guy is gonna be in charge because he's not going to put his shown man in charge of his own government in charge. so he got to read over old people who were hanging over for the chrysler jeep the swift deployments of c s t o security forces. $3600.00 russian lead troops is a clear sign to kaya has moscow's backing. they are now helping to strengthen his position in north. so turn the capital renamed after now that by of state media no longer mentioned his name, intimate blackouts have made it difficult to gauge public reaction. i finally reached a political activist via a telegram. he didn't want to be named just informational camps, but i know last because we have a lot of rumors. people said as are there,

as with his parenting, lead angie, there's an hour shift. all the stories and theories are based on this lack of information. rumors unofficial propaganda, those rumors only adding to the uncertainty that that dominates life kazakhstan. ok, let's get more now from robin forest here. walker, who's in to play st. george at helena. robin. we've heard about that. death tell reaching at least 164 people. what's been the reaction we were waiting unfortunately for the body count to rise because based on the scale of the fighting in the violence and shooting heavy machine gun fire explosions that went on for hours and hours during the 5th and 6th of january. the numbers surely had to rise. so now we have that unpleasant statistic of $100.00. 64 people

dead, according to the health ministry over a 100 of them in marty, where the worst of the violence was in among those killed in maci. sadly, to children, the children's rights commission in cuz it's gone confirming that one of them was an 11 year old child. and to add to that the so called on to terrorism operation is continuing across the country. and we have confirmation now of a more than 5100 people currently in detention. so a very big operation now going on with the government attempting to take control of the situation. robin, the, the, perhaps this wake were as much about the power struggle within the country as it was about the cost of living. where is the former later neza by having all of this

sitting my report, there were rumors circulating that he may have left the country. suddenly, earlier this week, curious media was reporting that private jets belonging to them as a buyer. finally, had been seen at the airport at the international airport outside peachcare before flying on somewhere else. but his press secretary, the private secretary, neither by the secretary yesterday claims that he was still in the capital, i have a reliable source who has told me related to connect it to the government who says that yes indeed, no time as a bi, he's still in the capital, although his condition is unknown, he is 81 years old. he is increasingly a very frail man. and of course these rumor meals spinning around and very little information coming out about him. what he's been up to. it adds to the confusion

that is, is a dominant factor now of life and has it stuck in a thank you very much for rain, such a spade robin forest, a, a walk a into lucy, joe. joe plenty more ahead on this news. our including frozen to death in pakistan . we've got the latest on the snow storm, which $22.00 motorists didn't survive. and don't look now and now biding finish. for england. cricket is in the 4th ashes test against a strategy, a general will have all those details coming up in force. in coven 19 testing has begun for 14000000 people in a city in china. doctor's report, at least 2 new infections of the army, kron variant in change. and it's a few hours drive from beijing where the winter limit games. the juices start. next month, the new cases have emerged despite the government so called 0 coven strategy. me

correspondent, katrina you is in beijing with the main problem for chinese authorities is it's passivity to beijing. it's only about 3 hours drive away o one hour by high speed rail. there is a loss of frequent commuting between the 2 cities and aging authorities are on high alert that anxious to make sure that there is no outbreak in the capital before the beginning of the beijing winter olympics on february the 4th. so as i mentioned, change residents have been ordered not to leave their homes until they are tested and then they cannot leave their city unless absolutely necessary. those who work and aging the work from home and all others in aging, who have traveled to the affected areas in change and in recent weeks must begin home quarantine. now this outbreak that we know so far with these 2 confirmed on the con cases, the 1st locally transmitted cases of the on the con, variance have been centered around a school community. and this is really going to test china 0 tolerance approach to curve at 19. there are already about 14000000 people in china under severe lockdown

in the provinces of sun, she in her non province. and these infections are continuing to spread to other areas as well. now this is really going to be a test of china as current locked down policies. it's not testing reactions here. and we're going to have to see whether this on the kron variant is going to spread here. what is concerning? 2 authorities so far is that they have not nailed down the origin of the virus. when it comes to these cases, intention to india now, which is reporting nearly 160000 coven 19 cases a day. it's a high found by in 7 months, several states have imposed new restrictions, including curfews and political rallies have been suspended. have me middle reports from new delhi, usually bustling wood shop markets in new delhi, emptied as the weekend cause he started most of the capital shut down as the lumber

daily cobra, life urine infection least 7 months high. the new club followed the imposing a nice curfew as well as closing schools jims and cinemas a few weeks ago. i'm most scared of the log down because we can't leave a whole lot of students like me recently graduated, it's been very difficult to get a job. people who have recently lost the job are also looking for jobs, but in vain. it's very frustrating. as infection serge nationwide, other states have talking restrictions could not go in sudden india is imposing a coffee for the next 2 weekends and sunday locked downs are planned in some a lot more harass job which is in the hardest hit state will have a night. caufield schools and colleges have already been closed for a month as have gyms and so long cases have been doubling every $2.00 to $3.00 days, such as rapid surgeon could. nevada says concerning people are getting infected

even when they come in contact with patient for a short time. in a further effort to stop the infection, spread inaction organizers have suspended rallies and restricted public meetings as well as door to door campaigns for a week. hundreds of millions of indians are due to vote and state elections next month. and mass gatherings like these have been heavily criticized for violating cove in 1900 protocol. and in fact, even for the 2nd wave, i don't think it was locked down that prevented infections on the country. it was the mos gatherings that actually exacerbated the infections. so you don't need to have lockdown, you just need to not have mosse gathering. the government has tightened rules for international arrivals. they now have to quarantine at home for a week that follows hundreds of passengers from it lead testing positive at an airport in northern india was relative a few patients and hospitals, particularly among the know created. the vaccination drive is being increased with total jobs crossing one and

a half 1000000000 this week on top of that health care workers and those above 60 with underlying health conditions. we'll stop getting the booster shots on monday afternoon. i'll just 0 usually. while most countries are seeing a rise in infection, the u. k is proving to be an exception. it's not a 20 percent drop in jamie cases since last week. this is leading to colds for a new approach. but brennan is covering development for us in london. hello, they pull the u. k might be shortening isolation to just 5 days. what can you tell us? or the conscious decision that the british government has made on the forest johnston is to try and ride out this winter wave of corona virus with 2 factors being predominant in that. and one is the fact that the alma kron variance appears to be causing much fewer hospitalizations than the previous delta variance. and also because we've got a pretty high level excess of 90 percent over the british population who've been

vaccinated. and the 5th for a few of them have also been boosted as well in excess of 37000000 people now also had a booster shot. now how do you square the dilemma that the government then has between trying to not impose the kind of restrictions that we've seen in other countries locked downs, curfews business closures that type of thing. but at the same time, you've got people reporting sick and absenteeism is a major problem. the government warning earlier this week to that the could be as many as 25 percent of the workforce is anyone time off sick. and in the national health service we've seen in the last week and average of around 35000 workers a day in the national health service off sick because of cove it. and one of the reasons they're all sick is because they tested positive. they have to do a quarantine period at the moment of 10 days. if they test negative after 7 days, they can then come out of warranty. and what the government appears to be contemplating. as we've heard from the education secretary, not him. so how he is reducing that 7 days to 5 days. the reason why is because he

believes it will make a massive difference to the number of staff being available for work and not just in the national health service, but we're talking about police officers, teachers, prison workers, that, that kind of thing, these critical workers. so it would improve that. and the other thing that i think it gives us real insight into is how the government's thinking about this. this is not policy yet, but this is what the clearly talking about in the cabinet table at downing street. i'll give you the quote, we have, i hope we will become one of the 1st major economies to demonstrate to the world how you transish from pandemic to n demik. and then deal with this. however long it rains with us, whether that's 567, or 10 years. so the british government clearly now looking ahead, not just the whack, a mole policy of hitting particular spikes in the short term. but now working out how you live without crohn, how you live with corona virus cove at 19 for up to a decade in the future. goodness, paul, i really hope it's not

a decade. thank you very much for that update pull brennan live for us in london. all right, in the change of pace, it's now time for whether he's jeff. hi, welcome to your worlds weather update will begin in australia where parts of queensland state saw their heavy it's rainfall in more than a 100 years. this was in the fraser coast region. sunspots picking up about $650.00 millimeters of rain, people had to be plucked to safety here. and now we do have a site clone spinning around can so potentially seen some scenes of flooding there in the days to come. meantime, in the southwest in pers, temperatures are gonna hot up in the days to come. we're expecting a high of 36 degrees on tuesday. that's concerning because parts of western australia do have that catastrophic fire danger alert in plates now for new zealand, a scattering of showers, both for the north and the south island that a bad day and gets been though with the high 27 degrees off to southeast asia concentrated rain continues to fall over sumatra. same goes for java. so we've got

to be on the look out to see more scenes of flooding here. now for japan, we press pause on this. so for now things fairly quiet across the country. but for the korean peninsula, i want to point this out. so monday a high of 4 degrees will take out 24 hours from monday. we'll paint the colors on the dark or the purple. the lower the temperature will get this just a high minus 3 and soul and breezy northwest swain, so it's going to feel cold bundle up. we'll see again soon. still ahead on al jazeera, a re run election in the venezuelan state of barrenness becomes a battlefield between government and opposition. candidates defying a court ban, thousands tank to the straits to market statewood day, where live in the city of banyan lucca with mold and newcastle, and knocked out of the english. if i kept by a tame 2 leagues below them, jim will have the best of the action coming up in sport. ah,

the listening post cuts through the noise, we're talking about competing narrative, but the modern big holes being used to perpetuate those competes, imperative, separating spin from fuck all 3 versions of the story and some elements of the truth. but the full story remains and content unpacking the stories you're being told, it's not a science story at all. it's a story about politics. the listening post, your guide to the media. on a jesse uta, compelling to journalism, we keeping out distance because it's actually quite dangerous. ambulances continued by about the explosion inspire program making. i still don't feel like i actually know enough about what the living under fascism was. like. how much money did you make for your role in deliverance? i made fab al jazeera english proud recipient of the new york festivals broadcaster of the year award for the 5th year running.

lou a. hello. are you watching out there? i'm emily. angling reminder event help stories this hour that jerry government says the death toll from attacks in the north west has risen to at least 200 people. bandits attacked villages in them, virus tanks, following as strikes by the military on their high down security forces into down have 5 gas into crowds, protesting against the military government. earlier bridges were closed around the capital costume, to deter demonstrated and 164 people have been killed during days of

violence and he government protests in has some authority there, confirms the rest of more than 5000 people, including former security services. but korea maximum. okay, so let's take a closer look at how kaz extends former president knew so ton and as a by f has continued his influence after ruling for more than a quarter of a century. he stepped down in 2019 choosing a loyalist that kept him enjoy month to kind of as his success until wednesday he continued as the head of the powerful security council. and as a buyer has been credited for bringing in foreign investment and stability to cause extent. but critics acute see one, your own of human rights abuses, inequality and corruption as a by abs, family members, whole government jobs, and to control much of the cause economy. bruce penny a is a correspondent covering a central asia ad roddy, a radio free europe. he says rushes allegiances within kaz, extensively

a late may have shifted. the fact that they had the president, the guy had to call in foreign forces, is going to be seen as a sign of weakness. but certainly by the color people in one can sort of understand that he wanted to free up his own security forces to put down what he says is essentially terrorist attacks on the attempted to, which is fairly ridiculous. there's definitely 2 different groups that work most, most of whom are peaceful for protesters, cause it's done, but he did call in russian troops though the interesting thing about this is that the collective security through the organization that russia lead has never actually deployed troops in any of its members states, when there's been unrest than there has been, has been some member stake. it's charter says it's not supposed to interfere unless the state space and external threat. which took i of provided by calling these terrorist international terrorists. and suggesting that they were trained outside the country. you know, rather the fact that russia approved that so quickly was extremely interesting

because they never had no rush and expansion 7000 kilometer long border. so this is a little bit different situation for russia. they don't want instability and all that stuff, but the fact that they did send troops, the unprecedented 1st time this happened, can be seen as a sign that the kremlin is now back into kind of not another bio faction. although, you know, for years food and i said another bio was one of his best friends, but it seems pretty obvious at this moment that they're begging to kind of in this current power struggle to a rock now and after nearly 3 months. so toby's election after october elections, the new parliament is meeting for the 1st time. uncertainty revolves around the nomination of the speaker and 2 deputies. the 329, a parliament will form and you government within that 30 day. so let's take a look at the main plays. the central movement swept to victory with 73 states. it laid its lead to buying more ta ta l sata she

a leader who rejects foreign presence in iraq, the tick tock them alliance has 37 states. it's led by a full, parliamentary speaker and game support from the sunni majority north and west of iraq. the state of law coalition took 33 states. it's led by a former prime minister, who's been widely bright, blamed for feeling corruption. the courtesy on a democratic party won 31 states. it has a mix of kurdish and arab candidates with 17 states. each is the fact that alliance, which is linked to iran, and the kindest fanny coalition, a nationalist party for the self determination for codes. joining us via skype from istanbul is my sub l. lucy middle east analyst, focusing on iraq and she groups appreciate your time is up on the news hour were hearing that this morning session has been delayed and says a bunch of closed door meetings and backroom deals. between politicians,

so what's happening this is part of a long process is that though there was a result of differences between looked adel, suttner, and of the other faction. the framework is, as it's called in iraq, about how to proceed and choosing the next, the right you prime minister says 2003. there have been some sort of agreement between the political parties after the election to choose a specific iraqi prime minister by the shiites. at this time of the dell said that he wants to. i nominate a iraqi prime minister because he won the majority of voice based on mice. so instead of agreement between the political parties, i looked at the side there one a form, a major majority coalition in order to choose the, our prime minister. and basically, because of, you know, by talking to different political parties, there have been delays to the,

to the commitment of this session. so what are the main riff cell sticking points between those politicians? so for, for iraq picture, the next prime minister there has to be the formation of the largest block, not the, not the party. and therefore there have been a competition between looked at us further and his rival in order to attract more members of the iraqi parliament. in order to present it to the iraqi parliament and saying we have the largest block and therefore we have the right and for, and in choosing the, the iraqis, a prime minister. and therefore there have been a lot of differences between water and the framework. and there have been, have not been an agreement between them into a to how to proceed forward. now just a quick background into how you occupy,

let's run their uniformity and agree that the the speech of the parliament would be so nice, but to deputies would be 111 credit, one the same goes with the iraqi prime minister. he would be a deputies, so near the scene a process goes with the president. so there have been and the choosing of the prime minister wouldn't be within the framework of the house. but this time it's a little bit different because as i mentioned earlier, there is an attempt to attract more members of the parliament for one camp or the other and it's still going on. so these riffs mainly among she who came to power after 2003. and can you give us a context as to these 5th parliamentary elections for government students that 2003 us led invasion in iraq. so the sheer given that the majority within the
