a deadly battle against what many here see as a crooked government. i wonder that these seem we want to tell the whole world that the only thing flourishing in kazakhstan is corruption. at night when we hear explosions, i'm scared. it hurts to know that young people are dying. when he might, watching, 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 vehicle which dot, we want to protect the rule of law everywhere. so to that end we call for no violence and for an end to violence. interesting. 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 e u. the german government,

from me and many others around the world who are seeing please come back to peaceful progress in the country. i tend ah, but as to kind of raises the stakes in his fight for political survival, there is worry that peaceful progress has given way little authoritarianism. the journalist bruce pioneer is a central asia specialist, is following the story for us and he joined us now from prague. so tell us 1st rush as role. how is that impacting this situation? well, you know, the fact that russia was ultimately, of course, is the head of this collective security treaty organization agreed to send with their colleagues on would certainly seem to be an indication that they're side in with the current president asked him to monitor. so it gives him an extra support, you know, if there really is this started out as a support as

a protest or socio economic reasons. but there's something else entirely going on here. and it looks like there's a struggle for some sort of struggle for our, you know, within the government and with russia, the green for the 1st time ever to deployed cfo troops to another country. that seems to be a sign of support for the people who are in control of the situation right now. yeah. especially given the, the, the soviet post soviet relations there. you mentioned about government power struggle. we hear that coverage sense, national security committee, chief of a former chief has been detained on suspicion of treason. what more can you tell us about that, about that development? you know, well, you know, obviously the fact that someone like that can be, can be detained. there but be charged with treatment. amazing. i mean, this is a 2 time prime minister in the country is one of the secretary of state head of the presidential administration and just only lately the head of security so so long time long or by a loyalist the 1st president,

founders with another by the fact that he is now under arrest and being serious serious charges in indication that the faction that some of the faction anyway, they've been loyal the president 1st president or bio is in big trouble at the moment. so yeah, and what do we know about the protesters and their demands now where, where does is leave them? you know, with this is there still are some protests going on around the country? this started out again, as i mentioned, this people protesting about socio economic problems in the country and lack of ability to participate in politics. some of those are still going on in the country . unfortunately, this other situation that's been evolving with the violence in the east and you know that the declaration of red alert for terrorism across the country and everything. you know, the protests that started this whole process seem to be the back. now the

background, something much more serious with them all the government journalist bruce planner, bringing us the latest. thank you so much and we look forward talking to you soon. a court in the us state of georgia has given life sentences to 3 white men convicted of murdering off might artery, a black man, the presiding judge said he handed down the harshest sentence possible due to defendants callous words and actions are brief, killing help fuel the black lives matter, protest that rocks the u. s. a head of the 2020 elections outside a court house in georgia, crowd hangs on the lips of the judge inside an outburst of joy, as these words were read out over the loud speaker. mister mc michael. the court sentences you as follows: count one malice, murder, life without the possibility of parole felony murder traverse miko had killed

albury without her jog felony, with a short go needed by operation of law mod aubrey was mark tragedy. tragedy on many, many levels almost torn. i'm sorry. on february 23rd of 2020, almost 2 years ago, a resident of glenn county, a graduate of brunswick high, a son of brother. the young man with dreams was gone down in this community. dated the 24th, like michael had been convicted of mud and november long sought his father, gregory, and neighbour william bryan. only dry and will be allowed to appeal for parole. after 30 years, william or brian, they each have nobody moist and do not deserve any leniency. this wasn't a case of mistaken identity or

a mistake. in fact, they tell you that they chose to target my fan because they didn't want him in their community as follows. the men claim they thought aubrey was fleeing a crime. that it was found not they were not arrested awful. chasing down the 25 year old and that caused and shooting. i'm dead. that changed when this video emerged filled by brine. it captures the chase and the shots at auburn who's seen falling to the ground after fighting for his life. o, the moses thought nationwide outraged that fit into the protest for him to death and strolled floyd, a black man killed by a police officer. wow. to the people outside the courthouse, the sentencing of aubrey's keyless array of hope in a country where race is biden's too often goes unpunished.

o. now total confirmed cove in 19 cases, recently top 300000000. there's a lot to unpack in that big number. so let's break it down here on the wall. the 1st, remember, confirmed is the key word, the true number of cases. us almost surely much higher because so many have gone untested. there are also huge differences and how countries test and report their numbers. nonetheless, let's look at how cases have accelerated over the course of this pandemic. it took about one year for the 1st $100000000.00 cases. then came the more infectious delta variant. we had 200000000 just about 6 months. and this last 100000000 was even shorter, around 5 months. now looking at weekly cases, the world over, you can see how quickly this latest spike has been compared to previous waves. it's a straight line for the last month or so. and that's likely because of omicron,

which is a highly infectious varian, but reported as milder. that's good news, but many more overall cases still means more serious cases. it could be enough to overwhelm healthcare systems, which is what has officials in countries all over. so worried, now not only bad news, there's some good news as well. let's look at deaths despite the surgeon cases, deaths are down. these are weekly confirmed deaths. again, confirmed is important. some analysts suggest the real told could be 2 to 4 times greater, but nevertheless, fewer deaths suggests we may be moving from pandemic to endemic. and that's where we want to go. and just to drive that point home, let's look at cases versus death. we can see cases on top or 1000000 people, they're going up, deaths are going down. now why is that? omicron may indeed be milder. we also have more ways to protect ourselves now, such as masks. many people around the world have been infected, which offers them some immunity, especially for younger populations that have a better chance of avoiding serious illness. and of course,

last but not least vaccination, which lowers the risk of transmission and illness. now, of course, we still have a long way to go. things are hardly equal everywhere, but these figures should give us some encouragement that there is an end to this pandemic, and we can live with his virus. and germany's buena sleeva knows 1st hand just how fast cove it is spreading. the sport returned with a bang the way after the winter break. as mentioned, glad been stunned. league leaders by an munich byron would normally have come into the match, a strong favorites. but the team was missing 9 stars due to coven, 19 glad back coach audi. hutto was all smiles, as he greeted his byron counterpart. julian nod guzman. this, despite the enormity of the task in front of him, now guzman had to be happy to have yashimi kemesha back after a 2 month absence due to cobit 19. and he was definitely glad that a certain prolific polish striker is on his team. robert levin doff ski opening the
