2:03 pm
controlling the protests. the unrest originally began over the weekend in the remote oil hub, those channels then at the price of fuel. but the unrest quickly spread to other cities leading to a nationwide state of emergency in our marty police were deployed to curb the unrest. but tear gas and stung grenades have done little to dissuade the crowds. neither have hundreds of arrests or the imposition of a curfew and movement restrictions in several regions. cassock president, cathy, joe, matt, talk, i of said he would reinstate price controls, but protest is a now calling for political change beyond the price of fuel. yes. remember in a surprise, move president took i of sacked the government and took control of the state security committee ousting, former president and longtime ruler, new assault and us up i have talk i of has lent on the village and just now called
2:04 pm
on the collective security treaty organization, a moscow based alliance of 6 former soviet countries for assistance which has been granted catholic stones will thorough tarion government usually tolerates little real opposition. but this time the protest huizenga seems to have called the authorities off guard. and correspondent emily sherwin is standing by for us in moscow. and emily, it's really difficult to get information about what is actually happening inside of kaz extend on the ground. the internet is partially shut down. what are your sources telling you? well the internet, as you say, sarah, has been partially or completely blocked for the 3rd day in a row. now, so many of the people that i've been contacting just simply aren't receiving messages. we do know that they're protests, continue across the country in several cities. and much of the information that we're getting is, of course, official information. we know, as you said,
2:05 pm
that there's a state of emergency in the entire country. now we know the banks are closed. we know that the authorities are back in control of the airport and almighty. and we also know that the government has just re introduced government controls on fuel prices flashing prices back to their previous level. they were doubled and they were, that was sparks. these protests, as we know, authorities have also said that dozens of protesters have died. at least 8 policemen have died and there were reports of shooting in almighty this morning on one of the on the main square in the city as well. i would say though, that it's worth being a little bit careful about that official information, particularly as, as of yesterday the president has been portraying the protesters not as people who are dissatisfied with their living conditions or with the economic conditions in the country. but really as violent bounds of terrorists, he said that they were being controlled from the outside. so perhaps some of the
2:06 pm
accounts of violence that were getting from the authorities could be used as a justification for a real crackdown. i think in the country tell us a little bit more about the potential motivate motivation of these protestors because they, you know, the protest seemed to have tapped into discontent. beyond the rise and fuel prices . what is driving people to the streets? well i was in because i stand for the elections in 2019 the presidential elections . and that was when the long time authoritarian leader, north fulton does that buy a step down. and it was the 1st time that someone else was running. the current president who won and you know, at the time it was pretty clear to everyone i spoke to. this is a successor to nas are by of this new president who's now in power. but i think people were hopeful that there could be some change including economic change. and i think many people say that they haven't seen that in the past few years since
2:07 pm
that election since those promises. and it seems that this may have been the this right rise and fuel prices that we saw in the new year might have just been the straw that broke the camel's back. plus, i think the government was pretty slow to respond for several days. they refused to slash prices, and then only several days after the protests began, the government resigned and we saw some response from the government to the protest . so i think perhaps it was just too little too late. couple of this about, you know, the what might be an intensifying crackdown now going forward because we at least have some indications that that might be coming. the collective security treaty organization, a rush, a lead post. soviet military alliance says that it will send so called and they're using the term here. peacekeepers to cause extent at the countries request, how is this likely to go down now? so the collective security treaty organization has said that they will be
2:08 pm
protecting infrastructure within cost on an important buildings and kind of keeping the peace from what we've heard. they will be very much flooding because authorities deal with the protesters themselves. so it's not clear whether perhaps we'll see on the one hand these peacekeeping forces guarding the buildings. and on the other hand, perhaps a crackdown from the conduct side that's unclear at the moment that we saw in a statement from the foreign ministry here in russia that they also are portraying the protesters as violent and as perhaps inspired from the outside. so i think we'll have to wait and see those troops are kind of arriving today in the, in the course of the day, from armenia as well, and from, from russia. they're already on their way. so we'll, we'll have to kind of keep, keep, watch when it comes to that crack down that you mentioned. emily? sure. when thank you very much for the very latest on the situation in catholics on

australia has agreed to delay the deportation of novak joke of it. that's after the 10 star put in a legal challenge against his visa rejection joke of which had travelled to melbourne to take part in the australian open. but he was denied entry on arrival and was detained at the airport for several hours. he has been taken to a detention hotel to await the port patient joke of which has been granted a medical exemption to take part in the grand slam tournament, but as continually refuse to say publicly if he's been vaccinated earlier australian prime minister scott morrison had this to found the matter on the issue of mister joke of which rules, ah, rules, and there are no special cases entry with a visa requires double vaccination or i medical exemption. i'm advised that such an exemption was not in place. and as a result,
2:10 pm
he is subject to the same rule as any one else. and let's get more on that. we are john now from melbourne by sports journalist courtney walsh. courtney. we understand that you watch the online hearing today. what sit out to you there is simply a conclusion to 24 hours, i suppose to meet him in melbourne after a garage around 11 pm last. not mostly procedural matters today. so basically, trying to land a framework for which the opposing parties can provide evidence. the federal judge who is here in the matter, it's expedited, given that, you know, as opposed to the need to assess whether he's visa status in the documentation that was used to, again, that these are, is actually legitimate, which the federal government and government officials have decided that the documents that i sent or not, no clue, he also wants to be able to play the strain i can, which begins in 10 days time by the time of his hearing on monday,
2:11 pm
which was the quickest in terms of the quickest turn around for the hearing elaine in detention for 76 to 9090 hours and it will be we get from the straight up beginning. it's really an extraordinary set of circumstances leading into a grand slam. and there's also a bit of a diplomatic. we have to say, tug of war going on right now between australia and serbia over this tell us about the politics of play. well and both prime minister. so both leaders in the countries have elections this year and is certainly suggestions from the way in which the surrounding governments certainly is tackled. be sure of the last 24 hours that there is some posture and applied the federal government and the state government, the local law victorian government. when balconies based have been located 20 states over the last 12 months or so. in terms of the handling of the pandemic, the opposing party in charge that's continued in there is some, you know,
2:12 pm
some school of thought that novak, despite, you know, clearly it would be preferable for him to be vaccinated or to studies explanation status of the civil reasons that know that my a fan himself is a poll in this situation, not in some regards. you know, as far as when he was granted the exemption, the medical exemption, the grant, which is not yet clear a lot of victorians. so he is a case of a privileged act late getting access into the country. but in because of that privilege because of the fact that he's such a problem. but it's possible that in cities spend himself the target of a situation where it is a stipend being made by the government in terms of you must be, that's not to come into the country. and given that, i mean, how do you, how are you seeing the potential reputational damage hair? not only for joke of it, but also for the australian open itself. it's always been leverage, says the heavy, slim. oh, or notice that the slam on the street. i could not roger federer coined expression
2:13 pm
several years ago when or when each trachea in the tournament director, correct tale has really played out on that. they've tried to every we've in domain and the athletes and there's no didn't applies to love coming down to australia. you know, it's kevin to european winter every month in the summer in melvin. this is clearly a concern in full as last year with the place at the currency for 2 weeks justify the showing open. there certainly wasn't that popular wise, understandable. it was on the axis where brown, this is another blow, i think it and clearly a date and the reputation. sports journalist courtney walsh. thank you. and here are some other developments in the pandemic. india has recorded its 1st official death from the on the kron variant infections in india have doubled over the last 4 days. and curfews have been introduced in delhi and moved by boil caribbean and

norwegian cruise lines have announced that they will cancel all cruise sailing has fears of corona, virus related infections arising this year's grammy awards. meantime, the ceremony scheduled to take place at the end of the month has been postponed indefinitely because of the rapid spread of the virus. united states is marking the 1st anniversary of the storming of the capital in washington. on january 6th, last year, a mob stormed the building, just as lawmakers inside began the process of declaring jo bite in the winter of the presidential election. it came after a fiery speech by president donald trump at a rally nearby alleging electoral fraud, and urging people to quote, fight like hell. he of he is in as pull reports. o, long before election day, donald trump had announced that if he should lose the white horse, then only because the election was reaped. it didn't come as
2:15 pm
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. in there he is in the very i had been at the mall for hours to report for the dublin in use and could physically feel how the more 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 at a more as, as was, 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
2:16 pm
democracies. the findings of the investigations showed how close a real could it up was this cold january afternoon and let's get more now. we are joined by in as paul he debbie's washington bureau chief who you just saw there in that piece and, and in as in this incident, really just brought so many questions not only about democracy as you highlighted there, but also about the state of division in the country as well, you as president joe biden to, to speak shortly. what can we expect? my president biden will delivering his speeds in the city, which is really on high alert. helicopters were cruising the skies of washington last night and when i rode my bike just threw some hours ago this morning to, to the office, i saw many more police cars that i normally see. so this is the atmosphere in which president biden will speak. we accept expect to see
2:17 pm
a president who is taking kind of a solemn tone as many reflect on a day that represented upon potential really turning point for democracy in the united states. we expect him to deliver his speech in the capitol. this is the same place where these trump support was really stormed the building with the intention of blocking him, joe biden himself from actually taking office. so he will most likely use his time to ensure that the country and it's in his institutions still send strong one year later, but also probably will stress the fact that the u. s. democracy is at crossroads for many americans in ask, you know, get given that crossroads that you've highlighted there. what has january 6th come to symbolize? well, you know, and the country has already been split and polarized one year ago,
2:18 pm
but it became even more radicalized over over this year. and i mean, all the republicans who initially really were horrified by the actions that they have really quickly backed off from their criticism because president trump is still around. so the concern for many americans is that the insurrection has set a precedent for any disputed or close election in the future. and you know, as many people really think about 2024, i really will underline the possibility that the midterm election, which will take place in november this year also might be really challenged, especially because there are many candidates running for office that will possibly putting another dent in us democracy by not accepting an outcome if the republicans
2:19 pm
don't win. so this really, really marks a change, a huge change in this country. and for that reason you've highlighted as mid term elections and a potential shift in power in congress. there has been so much attention and so much importance placed on this inquiry into the riot that is being conducted by a house committee, which is dominated by president biden's democrats just to walk us through the status of where those proceedings are. right, so things to images which were posted on social media. that's kind of an interesting part of this whole story posted by those who, who stormed the capitol themselves, the f b, i has been able to track down many of them and they have been arrested and are still facing charges buds. but many americans are concerned about is that action has actually not been taking against the alleged architects and enablers of that
2:20 pm
very day. so former presidents from so far has not been charged for inciting violence even so i think there is pretty clear proof when we listen to a speech which we just did before our little conversation. so but trump himself is working in the background to prepare is coming back. and with that he has still a very dense group on his own party. so it might be very, very difficult, really to give kind of the to, to, to put him in a place where he should be, let's put it that way. washington martinez. all. thank you so much in us. now we had to israel where residents of so called mixed cities are still working through an outbreak of violence that occurred in the spring of last year, extremist, jewish israelis clashed with arab israeli citizens. and since the violence to young people with neighboring businesses in the city of lord have and we belt and say
2:21 pm
that there shared experiences have brought them closer. this life has returned to some kind of normal for atman, where he, d, the arab israeli works in his father's tire shop in lute a city close to 10, a beef airport purchased a few months back in may, 1 of the worst outbreaks of violence between jewish israeli and arab israeli citizens in israel, destroyed the family business of 30 years. the flames also scorched the computer store next door. belonging to you of goodness father, the young jewish israeli should as a new stage of game he had created. it was all gone methodically. when the incident happened, it affected us psychologically, morally and financially. everything happened so quickly. but thank god we were able to move on own handy, like on hollis. now gonna close it for a crowd funding campaign they launched,
2:22 pm
helped them rebuild their businesses game developer, you're off took over the shop from his father to launch his own project. more than half a year later scars remained mentioning with any cover book of it, when i wake up in the morning, i'm so thankful that we managed to recover from what happened today. i believe i'm in a better place compared to where i was before, but so it's kind of ironic. but it's only because people heard my story and decided to help. not because it was good that had burned down. touching soft local washer case of machine in property and money as a machine for me, these are things you can replace. but to see my father still hurting. it's something you don't see every day. it's hard. people go there. little shallow include him in may 2021 violence, abrupt noticed in lute but olsen, other so called mix cities in israel, where jewish and arab citizens live protests, but also apparent prevent attacks by urban jewish mumps were fueled by longstanding
2:23 pm
issues is ready, police responded forcefully. tensions over to ru slim and the military conflict between israel and hamas in garza, or up to the perpetrators of the arson were never caught. but you off and i might have chosen to move on, showing the singer if they can't win with hate. if you need to be close to your friends and support them even in the most difficult times, crushing only then can you succeed in ms. a shuttle that we did it together, an arab and jewish business. it's not obvious. we made a choice to do it. this way very well. it has to be a hud. bash has looked, there's no guarantee that something similar won't happen again. but instead of dividing them, the experience only brought the 2 young neighbors even closer. on now, while christmas may be a distant memory for many, many christians,
