gangs. but the protesters and numbered in the 10s of thousands and many a calling for drastic change to unseat the autocratic dinner city that's controlled the resource rich country. since independence. others feel caught up in the chaos. what are the things we want to tell the whole world that the only thing flourishing in kazakhstan is, corruption, has extend, has become a private enterprise of the nasa by a family all strategically important sites in kazakhstan, belong to the nasa by a family of at yahoo been you boy youngest, i never thought i never knew that our people could be so terrifying. it was very scary to be out in the strait, but even more we couldn't sleep at night because we were afraid some are worried that the protest could lead to an even harsh version of authoritarianism, as officials clamped down on freedoms to quell the violence. thus bringing

journalist bruce tanner, he's a central asia specialist, follow the story for us, drives us from prague. now brewster police in kazakhstan, says dozens of protests as have been killed and also 18 officers and police say 3000 protesters have been arrested. what are you hearing? how reliable are these numbers? well, they're probably low up last night. the information i saw that they suggested that there was a what they're calling anti terrorist operations going on, and other cities on the south and ship can. and also in the lower province are almost 2, so they're expanding their security operation. and there was just reported in those areas that i just mentioned. and that's, you know, those are just the ones that we know. there's an internet block out, it's hard to get there on the phone. we can assume that such operations are going on. it doesn't cities, at least across cost on. so, you know, the figures are probably going to be a lot higher on all the rest. the initial amount of to protest is to lower the

fuel price has been fulfilled, but people continue to protest. why is that? oh, you know, because the protest, although it started with the fuel prices, it was really against the entrenched system that they had out there. you are one of your speakers in the clear mentioned corruption. i mean that's one problem. you know, low wages that don't match the levels of inflation. that's another one. you know, i mean the list goes on and on and on. of things that just haven't been addressed that people have been complaining about for several years now too. so it's not like this is new to the authorities. so, you know, the fuel prices was just kind of like the catalyst are released all these kinds of complaints and emotions and frustrations. well, that's the, this a collective security treaty organization. that's a post soviet military alliance led by russia and they have sent so called

peacekeepers to attacks down at the country's request is that a sort of russian track down on the protest is the former soviet republic that well, i mean want to symbolic, you know, i mean, it sounds a sign, it's like, you know, having a large guard dog or something that you brought it or you are. i suppose at that point, you know, so that the less the people in politics don't know that the government is being supported. in fact, by moscow and in this collective security to the organization, to give them 2nd, you know, 2nd thoughts about going out causing trouble even if they were able to do our security forces, for instance, you know, but to it also isn't it, is there kind of peacekeepers, but what they're supposed to do, my understanding is, is a guard key strategic facilities and infrastructure which frees up because like security forces and police to go out and conduct the operations that they're doing now. so there is a practical reason for that as well as the, you know, the looming threat of having this organization standing behind

a government journalist who's plenty of that. thank you. here in germany, karone of ours case loads remain high with 55000 new infections reported in the past 24 hours. that's 35 percent. more than a week ago, i was prompted an online summit of political lead us to consider further measures to tackle the highly infectious omicron barrier as covey infections rise in germany, there are fears the omicron variant could put to greater strain on key infrastructure, like the emergency services, the biggest headache for ambulance police and fire cruise could come not from the infections themselves, or micron seems to cause less severe disease than the delta variant, but have infected people and even their contacts after isolate in large numbers and might not be enough personnel to do essential jobs. the health minister has a plan is olivia many meal and as it were minimizing the risk, but we're moving in the direction of having a very safe solution. and at the same time,

keeping the critical infrastructure viable. this is achieved by shortening the quarantine period and also the isolation period. but always ensuring that a p c r test guarantees that no one is still contagious, this name and is no hands thickened. currently, those with omicron have to quarantine for 14 days. the proposals could reduce that to 10 days, or even just a week if the patient tests negative hits not only in health care or the emergency services that absent staff could cause a big problem. some fear, even the power supply could be affected. the company which manages berlin's electricity network says there's no danger of the lights going out, but shorter quarantines are welcome. then be on slow colleague and colleague, thing among the colleagues with our headquarters who monitor and control the berlin distribution network. we have very highly specialized people, so if we have a single case there, then we are in favor of shortening, but not in general,

only for selected personnel and under defined conditions wouldn't different yet. and bidding on politicians are proposing tighter contact restrictions to even limiting entry to restaurants and cafes to the vaccinated and recovered, who also have a negative test on the streets of the german capital. there is support for strict are approach. good. it's good, tough measures should be taken. that's why i'm wearing my mask even on the st. paul . so yeah, i think we need to act minded as an i'm not so worried and triple vaccinate time. i've been minority this. we need to in this thing as soon as possible, so, so, so we should use all possibilities at all level isn't vertical. once again in this pandemic, there are warnings of a looming crisis, and germany is bracing for trouble ahead of them on that. let's go to the w as chief political editor, nor, and germany, federal and regional leaders are having

a conference to today. what can we expect that well, as we just saw in that report, we may see some major changes there when it comes to quarantine periods. there clearly was some homework to do by the expert, a group here in germany that advises the government, basically telling them they need to get their ducks in a row emergency services, hospitals. they all have to have emergency planning and probably most sensitively. and there is a talk and there is also information in the draft document that dr. bella has obtained that it might get more difficult to actually have a night out in restaurants. and this is deeply unpopular. here in germany, there may be a 2 d plus requirements, so that means you have to be double vaccinated over covered and vaccinated plus have a test that's not older than 24 hours. and that would once again be a very major change in public life. here in germany, or you mentioned that

a quarantine rules could be relaxed and looking at the latest survey from pulses in protest, dim up, which we are seeing right here. the polling shows an overwhelming majority is 67 percent. who think the isolation period should be shortened if that person tests negative and doesn't show any symptoms. so this is supposed to be as opposed to protect critical infrastructure as we've seen in that report. but is this the right answer to tackle the spread of the army crohn buried? well, that's an expert question. the big question is, and not just whether it's the right answer to stop the spread or whether it's the right answer to keep the country going. as this wave of omicron sweeps across it because what it underpins, all of that's being discussed is a realization that omicron won't go away and that it can't be stopped. it can only be dose not to hit and a maximum number of people all at the same time. so it's more the breakdown of

infrastructure that the country is worried about than the actual army kron virus, which is less harmful, less dangerous than delta was. that's the good news, but the bad news is that it may affect too many people at the same time to maintain public life. overall, there's a realization that this is a virus that the country will have to learn to live with. in fact, the whole world. well indeed, it seems to me that people are getting more and more into a mindset of living with cove it, especially if we keep seeing mild variance, like only crohn are more punitive measures coming for the unvaccinated than depends on where you stand, whether it's punitive or whether the incentive is just being a maintained to get vaccinated to understand that that is the only way out and the only way back into something like normal life. but what we have seen here is

a debate on mandatory vaccinations that were started when all i saw the new chancellor came in. he was clearly in favor. it's now to certain degree a dis bus into many discussions, whether it should really be for everybody, whether they should be about 60 and mandate for vaccination and is by no means certain any more that that will actually be come into force, come be signed into law here in germany, so clearly a realization that one has to like to live with the virus. and that there is a brighter future head, but that there is homework that every individual has to do and decisions every individual will have to take on how they want to live with the virus or what they, they want to live with, the risk of potential death thank you. mikaela, kitchen i d w. so chief political editor, let's have a look now at some of the developments at the pandemic world health organization.

as warned against describing the new omicron berry and as mild. although studies suggest the variant is less likely to cause serious illness, it is still killing people around the world. that's what the w w i chose chief said . japan has approved no restrictions in 3 regions starting from friday. these are the 1st anti cove. it measures in the country since september when japan lifted emergency controls and health authorities in costa rica say they will begin vaccinating children aged 5 to 11 against corporate 90 next week to the west. now, where president joe biden has mocked the 1st anniversary of the storming on the capital on january 6th last year, a mobile donald trump support has tried to stop the certification of the 2020 presidential election year to the day since those events biden launched an attack on the riotous and on from his predecessor who he said,

of america as created and spread a web of lies by the 2020 election. he's done so because he values power over principal. and because his bruised ego matters more to him than our democracy or our constitution. after a year of largely ignoring his predecessor orders at bite and decided to take the gloves off when he's not just a former president. he's a defeated former president defeated by a margin over 7000000 of your votes. in a written statement, after the speech, trump accused biden of using his name to further divide america. calling the speech political theatre, and a distraction from biden's failures. the speaker of the house of representatives, nancy pelosi led a minutes of silence. remembering the security personnel whose deaths have been
