the former intelligence chief is arrested on suspicion of treason, and the government says it has now regains control. following widespread protests. also coming up on the show, britton's health service starts to buckle under the pressure of rapidly spreading omicron infections. as the u. k. records more covert related deaths than any other country in europe. some authorities have called in the army, and cameroon, gets ready to host the africa cup of nations, the continents premier international football competition. ah, hello, i'm clare richards, and welcome to the show. hows exxon's, a former national intelligence chief, has been arrested for suspected treason after days of unrest. this week, a dozens of people were killed and thousands of others arrested. president has

seemed jamal took hires is blaming foreign back terrorists for the worst violence seen in decades. the authoritarian regime has been attempting to restore order with the help of a russian lead force. a heavy security presence on the streets after nearly a week of rioting. an uneasy com has now returned with the authorities seek to re establish control. russian troops are still pouring into casks done under the umbrella of a peacekeeping mission, organized by former soviet republics, president to kaya ordered his security forces to shoot rioters dead. but as the violence gradually subsides services, including the internet, a back up and running, because we're building a doorstop room, i warn that 3 access to the internet does not mean pre publication of fabrication defamation, insults and incitement. if such material appears yellow, we will track down and punish those responsible renew casanya after the

international community has called for restraint from both sides, people demonstrating should do so peacefully or the killing of police officers and others is unacceptable. the killing of demonstrators is as well, and there is a need in any situation or for clear, clear need to respect human rights and international standards were re establishing public or order. the writing was sparked by runaway inflation sky high fuel prices and deep seated discontent with decades of authoritarian rule. yeah, the way the people have awoken that we want the authorities to listen to what we are saying. because all this has been going on for too long with russian troops

have helped restore order for the time being. but the underlying causes of the unrest have still to be addressed. and i'm now joined by i got a metal you high nova, an independent journalist from kazakhstan, and she joins me now from a frog a very warm welcome. she with a shell. we've now seen thousands of protesters arrested and thousands of mainly russian troops sent into kazakhstan under the collective security treaty organization. at this point, our president is to had took hi of and his government back in control. from what i hear in all my feel occasional shootings on the streets and people are ordered to stay at home to be safe. and there is still curfew, which has no strong, i think, 11 pm to 8 pm. and i would say that overall the situation is leaning more towards stabilizing, but it's still very dangerous to be outside. okay,

so moving towards a stabilizing, we have seen now arrests and dismissals at the top of context on security architecture, including the former security chief car, muslim, or are we looking at an internal elite power struggle here? to be honest, it's a mix of everything. it's mixed with people genuine desire for change and political reforms. it is next with some internal political game in the higher echelons so far . and then there's your politics involved in other things. so right now it's really confusing and it's hard to say what exactly is going on and why, and why some people do certain things. so i would say that is connected mostly with some power struggles at the top, as well as people desire for change. now russia presumably doesn't want to see

ongoing pro democracy demonstrations in the streets and you have the sense that the authorities will be able to maintain order in the long term. or are we likely to see protesters returned to the streets in the coming days and weeks? i think right now a storage is, are trying to to just step below the situation with shootings and violence. but i assure that people will continue to protest if their demands are not met and not to me. birds as it was a promise many years ago, and there are many people outside of cut down as well, protesting in trunk of embassies and in trunk of different government buildings related to cars, extent. and so far, i don't know if authorities will change the line and i don't think there will because if we heard the previous address to the nation of co kaya,

he was kind of threatening the through the crack down on if he was society, an independent media and we know that some activity, some people activists were to change and arrested and are now in jail. and there was also speculation that the influential former president, nurses time at another buyer had fled to the country. what do we know about his whereabouts and the role that he is playing in this there were rumors that fled the country, but today we had official information from his press secretary that he's actually in the capital. and he is in direct contact with customers. and that he asked to unite behind him to fight these forces. so we don't know what is true, right? because it's really confusing and it's confusion every day. some new official information. but some experts in the small central asian pool of experts think that

they're biased power to become less than to power now. and that's how the power struggle is at least you publicly. and yeah, i don't know if it's true or not, but clearly something is going on on the tool. and unfortunately some civilians are dying and we have known and heard some casualties on the street. were innocent, people have guide when they were just trying to get some food products amid this kiddos and city of all my, for example, i might tell you, hanover, thank you so much for joining us on the show with that important date. let's bring up to speed now with some other stories making news around the world albanian police have use tear gas and water cannon to disperse hundreds of protesters after they broke into the headquarters of the main opposition party. the centre right
