joe biden, the winner of the presidential election. this came after a fiery speech by president donald trump alleging electro fraud and urging people to march to the capital to in his words, fight like hell. d w's in his pool, was there that day? oh, long before election day, all trump had announced that if he should lose the white house, then only because the election was ripped. it didn't come as a surprise that thousands of tom followers gathered in washington d. c. the very day. the peaceful transition of power was meant to take place. january 6 and 2021. him, there he is in the very i had been at the mall for hours to report for the dublin hughes and could physically feel how the mood changed during the speech of donald trump. the protests so far had been intense,

but with every sentence donald trump spoke, it got more and more aggressive. our country has had enough. we will not take it any more and that's what this is all about. no one was prepared for what happened then. neither police nor politicians, the images of trump supporters storming the capital of the united states shocked the world and left deep marks in this country which claims to be one of the oldest democracies. the findings of the investigations showed how close a real could it are. was this cold january afternoon one year later, the u. s. seems to be even more polarized dent radicalized. law enforcement might be better prepared for future attacks on the capital. but what about us democracy? let's bring in fritz fisher. he's

a professor of history at the university of northern colorado. i welcome to d w. so let's start with this question about democracy. what is the state of the democracy in the united states in 2022? that's a great question. we don't really know what the state is, because we don't really have the answers that everybody in the country accepts about what actually happened. on january 6 before january 6th and after january 6th . so it's, it's in flux, it's, it's in danger in many ways because there's not a universal understanding in the nation about what democracy actually means. that's all about donald trump, one year on from this insurrection that's being cold in the capitol. where is he at right now? well, he's in moral lago, trying to get news, trying to make news, trying to keep his name in the news,

and many thank he's orchestrating the elections in 2022 and maybe considering running for election in 2024. although stories are very bad at predicting the future, so i can't really say exactly what he's going to be doing in the future. but he's, he continues to misrepresent the past. he continues to talk about how the election was stolen, with no evidence whatsoever. and he can even brings up completely erroneous ideas about what happened on january 6, calling saying that maybe it was the f, b i. or maybe it was his opponents or black lives matter that that perpetrated the insurrection which is clearly non factual. professor fisher from the university of northern colorado. many, thanks for your insight. we appreciate that. thanks very much appreciate russia

says it will dispatched what it calls a peacekeeping forces to cast on after the country's president asked for how to control protests that have turned violent protest. as in the larger city of marty seized government buildings and set fires off the days of mass demonstrations, of the surging feel prizes, at least 8 people have been killed. night falls and they unrest in almighty intensifies further. what began is a protest against fuel prices has quickly spiraled out of control. local media reports that several security personnel have died. while flights in and out of pharmacy have been cancelled. the president has confirmed that protest is stormed the airport earlier on wednesday. the protests originally began over the weekend in the remote oil hub of gentlemen, but after the government announced an end to price caps on fuel,

the unrest quickly spread to other cities. now a nation wide state of emergency is in place. in al massey police have been deployed to cook the unrest, but t a guests and stone grenades have done little to dissuade the crowds. neither have hundreds of arrests, nor the imposition of a curfew and movement restrictions in several regions. cassock president costume jamal took, i have said he would reinstate price controls, but by now processes are calling for political change. be owned the price of fuel rica, in a surprise, move just president, a tie of also sacked the government and took control of the state security committee, housing, former president and longtime ruler. no sultan neza by of now with kind of solely at the helm. he has called in the military and he says, no matter what, he will stay in the capital. or you can go ahead and state and from today,

the president of the security council, i intend to act as much as possible. cause extends authoritarian government usually tolerates little real opposition. but this time the protest angus seems to have costeo socrates of god. as we have heard, it was skyrocketing energy prices that triggered the protest and spock the political crisis across catholic stone. earlier we asked bruce pannier, a journalist, specializing in central asia. how that could be the case in a country with some of the world's largest oil reserves. yes, well, this is an amazing back in itself. and you got to remember that somewhere between 60 or 70 percent of conflicts, bonds, electricity. ready and power supplied by coal, even though they're the major oil exports and natural gas. you know, it's just been kind of mismanagement. i mean they, they both is called the personality kind of around us or bio. and i think the,

the problems today have, are certainly impacted by what's happening with the energy sector and all this done on the display of people with sufficient amounts of electricity. but you know more so when there was a change of providence, one step down in march 2019 a lot of people had the impression that there was going to be a change in the way palestine was run. that isn't what happened at all. i have been a long time and nobody really kept the same form of government entirely. there hasn't been any substantial reforms. there hasn't been a significant improvement in the lives of many people. so i think a lot of people were just this illusion, you know, and their expectations were not fulfilled. they thought they were going to enter some new era, but it didn't happen that way. journalist bruce penny, they're speaking to us a little earlier. now let's take a look at some other stories making news around the world. north korea says it has launched a hypersonic missile and the 1st major weapons test this year. young yang said the

missile successfully hit a target 700 kilometers away. south korean president, moon j in said the launch could create for the tension in the region and called on the north to engage in talks. the italian government has approved measures to make coven 19 vaccines mandatory for everyone over the age of 50. italy is struggling with record high levels of new infections. it was the 1st european country to be hit by the pandemic, and has one of the highest dest holes dwelt nimble and tennis player. novak joker, which has been denied entry to australia less than 2 weeks before the start of the australian open tennis tournaments. brokovich had his visa revoked after being held at melbourne airport for several hours. he was taken to a detention hotel to await deportation. before he left forrest failure, he said he had been granted a medical exemption to take part in the grand slam without being vaccinated against covert 90. duke of it says he will find

a court injunction to stop his deputation. a short while ago, australian prime minister scott morrison had this to say about the tennis down. on the issue of mr. jokey, which rules ah, rules. and there are no special cases entry with a visa requires double vaccination or i medical exemption. i'm. i'm advised that such an exemption was not in place. and as a result, he is subject to the same rule as any one. now to talk us through the story i'm joined by tennis commentator, steve peers in melbourne, get to see you again. steve. after apparently being granted an exemption from vaccination or from the vaccination requirement, joking with joker, which has now had a visa revoked. what, what happened? that's a good question. again, it's something that people are trying to piece together now in melbourne. it's

obviously it's what everyone's talking about. so basically what it's saying is, although victoria the victorian state government and it's process with tennis, australia involving medical expertise to decide whether to pay met him to play in the tournament or not. that medical medical exemption was approved for my job, which then he's very publicly declared that and jumped on a flight which possibly now looking back wasn't the best thing to do. could have come in a bit more like a anyway. he's jumped on a fly and arrived at melbourne airport like last night is trying to time it was 10 o'clock in morning now. here in melbourne, and the border force, which is run by the federal government who look after the actual borders of australia rather than victoria australia, and open have looked at his visa and looked at the supporting evidence with that around the medical exemption and decided that is not sufficient to, to gain entry to australia and they have contacted the state government last night

and asked whether the state government would do anything further to support. and i think joking, which is entry into australia, the site. i'm going to say no, we can't do anything further to support it. this is how it is. and therefore the strategy bought a force as made the decision to cancel his visa and is aiming to deport him to die back to serbia. but there is more to play out potentially in the courts. i mean, there's been a lot of negative reaction and a lot of strong feelings in australia as well. since we talked let 24 hours ago. what are people saying now was direction now to this latest news? the pretty much flabbergasted. you know, everyone who didn't want to come anyway is just saying, well, that's great, you know, turn around, get them out of here. but i think overall, the sense is just that, how could it come to this? how could it be that the 2 processes that should be far more aligned and fast smoother. i mean, you've got

a situation where you have state governments here in australia. this is the case and some of the countries around the world state governments who are responsible for a, b, and c, and then federal government's responsible for the e n f and the to just not meeting, not, not talking, not understanding the process, but you know, there's that and so how did it come to that, but also from no joke of it? she's position and he's team. how could it be that these, these requirements were not kicked off so robustly before he took that photograph announced that he was on his way to australia. i mean, everyone knows that getting into a country with the right these requirements is absolutely the 1st thing you have to deal with. so that the reaction really, really here is just everyone throwing their hands up in the air really. and everyone's blame each other. victorian government and the federal government, vice versa, it's a mess. and it's actually quite embarrassing for the country, i think as well. you know, it's one thing to be and, you know,

the rules apply to everyone, but don't, don't let it come to this. surely this could have been sorted out before he actually got to fly. or i tennis, commentator for australian, open radio, steve pace, thank you for your insights. thanks. hello. it was changed up in use life from berlin. up next, our documentary series doc film looks at the to boost connected with ministration. stay tuned for that. and if you want more news and information, there's always our websites, d, w dot com. and we'll, as i got in berlin for me and the entire team here. thanks the company take care of i think ah, internet knows all.
