heeded president decay of calls for assistance and sent more than 2000 troops to help protect the fire on russia's doorstep. but there are few signs of peace here on the streets of kazakstan as each day brings fresh bloodshed. almighty the country's largest city has become grown 0 in a deadly battle against what many here see as a crooked government. what are these whom we want to tell the whole world that the only thing flourishing in kazakhstan is corruption? at night when we hear explosions, i'm scads. it hurts to know that young people are dying when he might, which the protests began over a hike in fuel prices. but decades of corruption and inequality have found the flames of rebellion across a nation rich in resources to kai, of response to the protest sparked international concern. zip on it starts, we want to protect the rule of law everywhere. so to that end,

we call for no violence and for an end to violence and subsistence. and obviously that also means that there should be no violence against citizens. in that sense, there's unity and what is being heard from the you, the german government, from me and many others around the world who are seeing please come back to peaceful progress in the country. ah, but as to kind of raises the stakes in his fight for political survival, there is worry that peaceful progress has given way brutal authoritarianism will. i'm joined now by christoph more. he's the almighty bureau, chief of the frederick ebert foundation, which is affiliated with germany, social democratic party. he is to night in berlin. it's good to have you on the program. i want to talk to you 1st about these shoot to kill orders coming from the president of context on where do you hearing from your contacts on the ground in

the country about this thanks for having a rapid spread of throat his across the country, the increasing violent nature and the protests on the mention it on the shoot, the kill are to have raised at the effect there of what i will call. so the chaos are the potential for continuous escalation and causing done. and that has indeed not faded, but it's still very much dominant day to day for my colleagues, my, my contact, my friends, that all report the same. they report gunfire. they report continues clashes between both sides. 80 and not working, confusion and uncertainty. i thought of everywhere, it's a dire situation, especially in the southern hub of the country. the city of mattie and this situation in the country has spar road quickly, just this week. are you surprised at how quickly we have seen the security situation deteriorate? well yes or no, just weeks ago,

the country celebrated its 30 or and over 3. right. and they have never been such pro protests in context on the, extend the pays and indeed the magnitude of the escalation are very much unprecedented. though i have to say the escalation and the timing of the protest might come as a surprise, but fundamentally to protest themselves. they are not unexpected. and we know that the president of cause, our son, obviously not wanting to see his country, become another bell, a rooster ukraine, he decided to call in the russians for help. what do you make of the presence of what are being called russian peacekeeping troops? well, 2 or 3 short points, the intervention of the c s t o that's to connect to security, treat the organization, certainly added to the conflict and gave it another dimension from a very, let's say domestic dimension to a geopolitical one. second context on is indeed important to moscow. there are

a lot of institutional inter in the dependencies there they're pronounced cause exciting. member of c, a c, l s c, l, the european economic union. there is the bike, newer cosmo jerome there is geographical and cultural proximity, a lot of trade. and also russia sees cause it's done as some sort of the anchor of stability in central asia and a very volatile region. so yeah, conflicts on is important. and the last point, if you allow me for context on the call to moscow is a double edged sword in the center of that cause it's done. tried for a very long time to be interdependent from russia. and they called, they did this through their, of what they call, multi actual foreign policy, essentially balancing between the major power powers and thus building good relationship with china, the west and the neighboring countries. so now, some people feared that the dependencies on russia come with the prize and might increase eventually. yeah,

it will be interesting to see if conflict done is now more beholding to russia. because of the presence of these troops, we will be following the situation closely, as i'm sure you will as well. chris off more with the friedrich ebert foundation, mr. moore, we appreciate your insights tonight. thank you. with germany's national and regional leaders have agreed on a series of measures to combat rising corona, virus infections, case numbers are now a 3rd higher than just a week ago. people going out, socializing, now face tied to restrictions, the count is fully vaccinate. they have to have had a booster shot, or they have to show a negative test result. that's the leaders discussed new pandemic measures. the front of their minds was the micron variant, which is set to become the dominant strain in germany. is from the con, one thing is clear, low micron will keep us busy for a long time to come. and that is why we cannot sound the old clear for our health

care system. it must be said clearly we will see higher infections and they will also be many new patients in the hospital with them give if infected people and even their contacts have to isolate in large numbers. some fear, even the emergency services could lack the personnel to do their essential job. so the politicians have taken a risky decision shortening isolation periods for those who had contact with infected people. and in some cases, removing the isolation requirement altogether that the status was any contact person who has received the booster shot no longer has to go into them in germany. all others can lead quarantine or isolation after 10 days if they're no longer symptomatic. i told them in at the same time a tightening of restrictions for people came to go out for a meal or a drink. entry to restaurants and bars will be limited to the vaccinated or recovered, who also have a negative test. that address is the fact people can't wear

a mask while they are eating and drinking. and if they've had their boost shot, they won't need a test. that point is intended to encourage more to take off vaccination. the campaign to get vaccines into arms is proceeding fast, but chancellor shalt says it's not fast enough. he once 30000000 more doses administered during january sofa. it has been less than $3000000.00 taking out some of the other stores that are making headlines around the world. a judge in the us state of georgia have sentence, the 3 white men who killed the black men all met aubrey to life in prison. 25 year old aubrey was out jogging when he was shot dead. the father and son who armed themselves and chased him, they will be spending the rest of their lives in prison with no chance of parole by all in parents commemoration events took place today to mark the 7th anniversary of the 2015 terrorist attacks. islam has gunman killed at 17 people over the course of

3 days, including journalists at the french satirical magazine, charlie abdel, the highest volcano in the galapagos islands had started spewing lava and clouds of ash ecuador. geo physical institute says there's no immediate danger to people there. the volcano last a rugged 6 years ago. the groundbreaking actor, sidney potty, yay! has died at the age of $94.00. he was the 1st black person to win an oscar for best actor. back in 1963 for the film lilies of the field. he inspired an entire generation in the 1960 s during the civil rights era with roles crossing the racial divide. after decades in the public guy quasi a received the u. s. presidential, middle of freedom from president brock, obama, back in 2000. and now my colleague david levitt is here now from

our culture desk to talk about this. i mean there's so much to talk about when we're talking about sydney plot. what will he be most remember for? well, he was not hollywood, the 1st black star, he was hollywood 1st black superstar actually and that oscar that he won really was groundbreaking. it really paved the way for other black performers in hollywood. and he got it because he was charismatic. he was good looking and he could act man, could he act in the same film? he could have you crying. he was very touching or he could have you in stitches because he was funny. just like you did in that oscar winning role in willie's of the field. he played a jack of all trades who helps a group of german nuns out in the arizona desert. and he doesn't want to. he wants to actually drink and sleep, but he ends up building their church for them for free out of the goodness of his heart. and that was really kind of a typical role for a party. he played the good guy,

he played sort of the st if you well. now if you look at films like in the heat of the night, he is a detective from philadelphia who has to work with a racist sheriff from mississippi to solve a murder case. and he does it with grace and characters, respond to hatred, even to racism with grace, with a kind of cool headed resolve. he's the character plays the characters who really are trying to. he's people actually, you know, i also learned today that he was tone deaf and in that movie with the nuns and they're singing, amen. amen. he's not really seen because ha, obviously he couldn't carry it too. but let me ask you about these roles. why was he always the saintly character? well, you know, a lot of it was typecasting and actually playing the st. we black guy who's trying to appease the racist white people. it's got him in trouble. i got him criticized later in the civil rights movement when the, when the movement heated up, people were calling him and uncle tom who is just trying to please the white man. but you know, at the same time,

he really didn't know what his options were in hollywood. and hollywood didn't have a place for him to play the romantic lead that was off limits for black men. he wasn't about to play the bad guy because he wanted to promote a positive depiction of black people that didn't exist at that time. and there weren't really very complex rules for him. so actually his choice of roles was rather limited, but at the same time it was progress. back then it was a step forward for back then. and he even wrote that with every movie he made, he felt like he was representing millions upon millions of people who otherwise didn't have representation. and i mean the fill, of course, which we didn't have time to talk about. i guess he's coming to dinner. i think that will be the weekend viewing for a lot of people. it's good to see that he had such a long life. thank me. thank you. the city of your contravene boards in russia is being transformed into
