abducted by armed groups 2 months ago. an interest has moved from a food. jo. this happen because of the days of intense bombardment of binded high doubts in the zone for a stage and other neighboring states. remember this conflicts plotted 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 then a growing threat. i just then it has metal forced into a monster that to d. today we've been massacres. wash than this before in zone for a state we've seen. recently, about 40 travelers were burned to live in a bus, an attack blamed on this bended. so right now, what's happening in the 10 villages attacked by the bandit with the president said, what are treating from these as strikes? what carried out in 10 villages?

so the villagers are actually not going back to the villages. some of these villages have been completely destroyed, the men of mud in school, hearts and things like that. they're only going back now to recover buddies as a 24 hours ago, 100 more than 150 such bodies had been recovered. some of them have been burned or mutilated beyond 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 who lama, because he's a senior analyst of attorney les institute for global change. he says, kidnapping has become the biggest business in one area. it was initially purely financial. unfortunately, they have over the past 10 years, extorted an estimated $20000000.00 from ordinary nigerians and so kidnapping. over the last 30 years especially became was driving industrial. we just business in my area, especially with the kind of big in pocket 19. i mean,

legal companies don't make the amount of money criminal guns making, and these payments come from or 99, you know, but also from security forces officers. i could now and their families would have to pay ransom before that loved ones. and that was the same for $99.00 is that least off is that i get not and they pay i'm some then everyone would have to pay and i'm so the government is just, i mean i had an ignorant 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. one of them have been infiltrated by book or am, which is the group fight that men in the north and out of my yeah. it has like see that you and some element of a now a oh i do not. you can reason that i also other strengths and

so it is a complex picture that is getting dead. yeah, by the day, more than 300 hot hassle ring refugees in bangladesh have been to ashes 5. chris had been working to get the blinds under control, and cox is designed with is no word yet on any casualties. officials had been preventing refugees from entering the area. 164 people have been killed and during days a violent anti government protesting has exten authorities. they confirmed the arrest of more than 5000 people, including former security services champ, karen that nasa mav, robinette forest air. walker reports long queues for fuel and the food as the public comes to terms with reality. after the unrest. a picture is emerging of a power struggle within cassock, stones, political elite. in protests this week,

anger was directed at independence, as it stands, 1st president, 81 year old, nor so 10 as a buy of old man get out. they taunted with those protests turned violent in our mattie as a by it was removed from the powerful position he still occupied chair of the security council. now his loyal associate kerry must seem off fired from his role as chief of national security has been charged with high treason. marriage. logistical matter by of 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 where that has now changed. we now enjoy the talk i an era like it.

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

it was over there with his parenting. and there's an hour shift. all the stories, and here is a, based on this lack of information. rumors and official propaganda. those rumors only adding to the uncertainty that dominates life kazakhstan, and getting more information from kazakhstan about the circumstances surrounding some of those thousands of arrests. his update from robin garcia will come, dost television? it's a russian independent tv station were outside a morgue. they reported how they had, they seemed to masked men, arms in dressing, black, dragging away a suspect. when they started filming in that direction, shots were fired at them, a warning shots were fired. we seen a social media or also of people pointing their cameras at the military in the

streets and again, having to duck cover. because of course we know that the security services have a shoot to kill policy. so it's, it's a frightening time if you're a civilian in kazakhstan right now, and you want to be out getting back to your daily lives. but with this huge security presence, it's very intimidating to sedan now, where security forces and fine t gas seen to crowns, protesting against the military government. earlier bridges were closed around the capital cartoon to deter demonstrate is the main pro democracy group has rejected you and efforts to get sedans, transition to civilian will, back on track mohammed val has more from on demand in the capital cuts his ga. gov has been used in the center called tom against thousands of testers who march to words the presidential pollies. they try 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. well, i stand, the crowd is just picking up. i'll try to match was the presidential pollies applied to march, to worth central cartoon, but not takes crossing the bridges, which are understandably closed. the security forces are lying in wait in. c big numbers at what happens every time they try to march is have use of tear gas on. sometimes 5 bullets people get killed here on demand or not. has been the case over the last couple of weeks and to day. i mean, everyone here saying they are expecting the same to happen. but as you can see, they are adamant to these for testers that they would not go back home until they realised their gold, which is a complete removal of the military from power. we have heard about us not initiative by the un yesterday, but they haven't yet to deliver the details. so, so many players, yet many of the stakeholders are saying they have not yet to receive the details,

but also they are not going to negotiate with the military. and here i'm talking about that assistance committees hall behind these protests and also about the movement. all the forces of freedom a change. they have made it categorically clear that they're not going to negotiate with the military or so the up sedans, doctors, associations to dance professionals, associations, or they have the same united to work this in a city by the you on to resolve a problem. so that the coven 19 testing has begun for 14000000 people in the city in china, doctor's report, at least turn you infections of the army kron variant in t engine. it's a few hours drive from beijing where the winter olympic game, so juice has done next month. the new cases have emerged despite the government, so called 0 cove strategy in our correspondent, katrina you is in beijing with more. and main problem for chinese authorities is

it's passivity to beijing. it's only about 3 hours drive away o one allied 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 of those 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 content 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 locked

down in the provinces of sun. she and her and, and province. and these infections are continuing to spread to other areas as well . now this is really going to be a test of china's current lockdown policy. it's not testing reactions here, and we're going to have to see whether this on the cron variant is going to spread here. what is concerning to authority so far is that they have not nailed down the origin of the virus. when it comes to these cases, intention, india is reporting nearly 160000 coven 19 cases. a day is the highest number and 7 months, several times have imposed new restrictions, including curfews and political rallies have been suspended. have any metal reports from new delhi, usually bustling wood, shop, or markets in new delhi, emptied as a weekend cause. he started most of the capital shut down as a number of daily coded life union structures reached 7 much higher. the new clubs followed the imposing a nice curfew as well as closing schools, gyms and cinnamon

a few weeks ago. i'm more scared of the lockdown because we can't leave our home. 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 restriction her not to go in sudden india is imposing a coffee for the next 2 weekends and sunday lock downs are planned in some a lot. marashi 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 values 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 coban 1900 protocols. 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 need to have locked downs, you just need to not have mos 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 italy, testing positive at an airport in northern india. was relatively few patients the hospital, particularly among the know, created the vaccination drive is being increase for 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.

pop me with the i'll just 0, usually. still ahead on al jazeera, newly elected and pays in iraq, mate for the 1st time. but disagree, or major decisions that need to be made. we have the latest from and to re run election in the bid as well. and state of the arena's becomes a battlefield between government and opposition candidates. ah hello, good to see you. here's your weather report for asia. we're going to begin in india where things are drying off across the northwest, some thunderstorms for central areas and that's spilling into additional state. also got some showers down toward careless state on monday. now the ne monsoon is driving some rain into re locker and this could generate some flash flooding. it is

dry, however, and tamil nadu tonight is got a high of 30 degrees on monday off to southeast asia right now concentrated bands of rain over southern areas of sumatra as we hit toward java, bali and lone buck islands running the risk of seeing some flooding here was foggy and missed the start to the day for central areas of china. a lot of cloud here and also some showers, stretching for move on down to grey, lynn and closing in on hong kong with the i us 21 degrees that of a breather. from that snow, as we head towards japan, teens, fairly quiet and across the korean peninsula. so it's got a high of 4 degrees, doesn't sound so bad, right? but we'll take your 24 hours for monday on tuesday. paint the colors on here, darker the purple. the lower the temperature saul just a high minus 3. look at the wind fields here that's out of the north wise. so things are gonna feel cold on tuesday, but i'll up that's it. we'll see again soon. ah,

the listening post cuts through the noise. we're talking about competing active with the modern day tools being you perpetuate. there's competing narrative separating spin from fuck all 3 versions of the story and some element of the truth . but the full story remains and contains 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 just 0. ah, the me. hello, what's out there? i'm emily angland, reminder vent up stories this hour. that during government says the death toll from

attacks in the north west has risen to at least $200.00 to bandits attacked. villages in them far as the days following a strength by the military on the hot out. security forces in sudan have 5 t gas into crowds, protesting against the military government. earlier bridges were closed around the capital cartoon to demonstrate it. and 164 people have been killed during days of violence and the government protesting has already been confirmed. the rest of more than 5000 people, including former security services chief career, maximum hundreds of bosnian serbs in republic at sub scott have defied a court ban to celebrate what they call state one day. it comes at a time of height and tension, about succession plans from both, ma'am, was being said later, miller rad donate was among senior officials who attended a military parade. he faces us sanctions after calling for separation from the rest

of bosnia and had the governor on saturday, both in serbs, marsha the straight singing national songs and praising war criminals from long story lips, bringing that liliana smoothly on inch who was life for us in the city of daniel luca in bosnia and herzegovina. hello there. lilliana. tell us another day of act, another act of defiance by miller ed duddy. despite growing international pressure on him, tell us more. well this, they are word a public, a sort of scar is a dispute for many years. the hearing bars in her sabina, but decisions of the constitutional court to bosnia herzegovina are a clear ripple because of sky is entitled to celebrate the day of if will, because of sky, just not on the january, the 9th. so there's a dispute about the date because for serbs here in this part of bosnia, herzegovina, 9th, january of 1992 is a date when at

a progressive sky of started to exist. and that is something sacred than important for them or something that, as they say, ah, guarantees a liberty for them and a best conditions to live in bosnia and herzegovina and the other hand for bosh next, living in this part of bosnia herzegovina, the same date means something completely different. the start of the war, horrors that they endured in the public as subscribed during the ninety's. and later on war crimes and genocide and southern anita. so there is a lot of dispute about that, but this year it's even worse because we've been in a serious political crisis for over many months. and we keep listening to miller, a daddy who is saying that if bosner has given or is not functioning in accordance with the constitution of the country, he will begin the process of declaring article because obscure as an independent

state. and he also announces that he would bring back some levels of authority from bosnia and herzegovina to ripple because of skull, which means that he would again, for him or the army of the public a subscribe. and that he would completely control the tax system. and the judiciary, so he would transform those level of authorities from bosnia and herzegovina to republic, a sub scott, which is unacceptable of for the other bosnian entity federation of bosnia herzegovina, sir liliana. i mean, there was a massive turn at this match, but it's been described as unconstitutional. how has it been same by bosnia herzegovina? oh well, when it comes about all of this that i already mentioned, it was partially the reason for the united states to expand the sanctions to me. laura dominique because that everything that he does an analysis that he would do

is not in accordance with the constitution of bosnia herzegovina, as well as with the date on peace accord. that is a vase for everything here in this country a. so when it comes about this situation and the political crisis that i mentioned, everything made even the security situation worse, especially for barking acts living in the public a subscribe. so we had several incidents in the past few days, or involving groups of people in several cities or in the republic, a sort of sca who are chanting our nationalistic songs and they are a glorifying a war criminal, convicted that outcome. lodge a who is responsible for, for a genocide, israel bernita or, and are we also occurred from the police that they would take certain actions. but

there are, there's not much reaction from the authorities of the public, a subscriber. and that makes things even worse. so our, we have a serious political crisis and now security crisis. so this celebration of the republic are subscribed. they just came as another reason for a bosh next in at a public a subscribe to be worried about their safety. thank you for breaking down for as liliana's liliana july for us in banga lucca to a rock now and only 3 months after october. his elections, the new parliament is meeting for the 1st time. uncertainty revolves around the nomination of the speaker and 2 deputies, mahmud, after a while, had, is following the session for us in back that the long awaited on your session of iraq's newly elected the parliament started after control versus now this
