[000:00:00;00] ah, brutal clashes between police and protest resume and catholics, but the administrative building of the country's largest city. now under attack. as we understand, the government has resigned that made mass. i go over storing fuel price with the french president manuel my problem resorts to rather bad language to take a swipe at unvaccinated citizens of parliament debates. a new tougher system of coven vaccine passes and charges against former governor of new york. andrew cuomo have been dropped. he was accused of under counting care, home, deaths and sexual harassment. meantime, some relatives of coping victims of curious what kind of society or when over

50000 people die horrible, agonizing deaths alone. my father died alone and there is no stand with regard wednesday, january the 5th, and we are kicking off the program with a fast developing story. it's an aussie international by the way. protests have flared up again in classic st. on with right has breaking into the administrative building in the country's largest city al mattie ah, just a bit earlier, we spoke with a local tv journalist a gregory, but then co who works near the administration building in al mattie. he described the chaos that originally unfolded throughout the night. alicia much but if there

were clashes between protesters and police in al matty at nights are working day began very early in the morning. it's about 5 a. m. we filmed the aftermath of the protests. the cities at central square was the epi center of the unrest. we saw many police officers. by lunchtime, the national guard troops had left off before then there was relative calm, but people began to gather again. we saw about 2000 people in the central square. at 1st the protesters were quiet, but then fresh grenades went off. we saw a fire start on the side of the administration building, which was then seized by protesters. your people then began approaching our neighbouring tv station. we were evacuated from there. there were almost no police on the streets. half of the traffic lights do not work in al martino and internet blackouts have begun. there are few police in the city. there are fires in some parts of the city, or the protests are clearly organized. they began in several cities at once,

which has never happened in cassock stand before. leaflets are handed out to the protesters. there are demands for social and political change, about 10 demands. it's difficult to say who is behind them, but the organisation of the protests is very clear. you got other all right, let's get the very latest on the situation. is really patricia joining us this afternoon here in the studio ilia. it's just after 7 pm and minus 7 degrees celsius that down and in matter the biggest city in context, on lots of dramatic video coming out from some of the major cities in the country. what's the latest that you have for us? well, rory, let me 1st begin now with the latest update from the countries president who is saying that he's going to stay and the capital of expand no matter what. and this is despite some of the earlier rumors that the leader of the country could have escaped from the capital. but for the moment, let's focus on the events that are in for unfolding in alma see which like you said,

maury is the biggest city of the republic and formerly the capital of the republic . now we do have to understand that the main administrative building there was stormed by a protesters set aflame and up. we saw soldiers having to escape a nearby square. and now there was also with the office of the meat, a tv station there. it was taken over by the protesters and the protest or demanded access to the studios so that they can go live on air and then spread the word about what's happening in the country and about their plans as well . but in many cities across catholic stand, these are the scenes that are happening. cars being torched and turned over. the policemen are being attacked. we saw trucks with

a troops being attacked. one of the scenes when a gun was being stolen from a police man. so perhaps you can remember the worst seeings of black lives matter in the us, then us or maybe remember for bellows where things like that could happen, never before anything like this was seen in cassock stand. so this is truly unprecedented. and now let's have a look at what was happening the worst scenes during tuesday night. ah well. 1 if we look at the, the, the demands by the protesters, they wanted the,

the government to resign. and this is actually what happened. but this isn't what this is everything that the protesters one to, although the president saying like i said that he's going to remain in the capital and he is not going to give up. and here's what he said, a nad his address to the nation. dear compatriots, i appeal to you to show prudence and not to come to provocations from the inside and outside to protect you for you on chaos, calls to attack, the military and civilian offices are illegal. the government will not follow what was written by me. really take us back, remember to, if you would, how, how did this all started? is there, is there a single trigger that can be blamed for this? what you see, this country's heavily dependent on the why gas industry and the main hubs are in the west of the country. we do remember that catholic stan is the

richest central asian republic of the pool. so be the republics and it has been relatively stable and all except for only one episode in the recent history of catholic stand. that was when in 10 years ago there were heavy protest in the city of john was in back then dozens of people died. and this was the city again, where the protest sparked, and they initially erupted during the weekend in the same city because of the lifting of price capital liquefied petroleum gas. they have been spread, like i said, to several cities, all across the country, the hub of a cow. this is also very important on the caspian sea coast, as well as the workers camp used by the subcontractors of catholic stand, biggest, all producer. now we remember that the protest right now,

we're triggered by the fact of the workers there that demanded the price of lp g b have from $12010.00 gate that is in the demands that were coming from the professors, but they weren't met. and this led to all the case that we're seeing in the streets right now. and like we said many times, this is something absolutely unprecedented. or i don't believe i drank with the latest on this developing story. thank you. while the meantime, russia's foreign ministry has commented on the situation that is calling for dialogue, surging people on the streets to refrain from violence, it also expressed hope the situation it would be resolved soon. well, let's learn more now and cross 5 to chris phillips, a former head of the national counter terrorism security office in the u. k. great to see today. thanks for joining us here on the program. some pretty dramatic pictures we've been showing here on our t international. it coming out of the major cities in context on official buildings are being stormed. the catholic government has resigned. how serious does this look to? could it spiral out into something even bigger?

well, i think it is very, very serious already and it said the speed of the incident is quite incredible. and it has been seen a course across north africa during the arab spring where social media allows people to talk to each other without government having any form of control over it . and very quickly, the government can lose control and that appears to be happening at the moment. and so ultimately this all started due to energy prices, but as your process of storing it in many different countries at the moment, not just conflicts, don't make you think. you think this good spot, perhaps further unrest, a field. well, i think other leaders will be looking at this and i work and i have a wall could happen and how they would deal with incidence of this call. and of course, what we say over the last 15 years since social media is come in, is effectively the more role being able to quickly out the government. and what

we're seeing here is very, very quickly, incident coming out of control, the place not able to do with it. and then of course they come under attack which, which makes it very difficult for them to deal with. well, social media, you just reference social media and ultimately it does play a key role in organizing all sorts of movements. some of them being anti government protest. i mean, we just heard a bit earlier in the program from a correspondent, m l not a saying that he's never seen such coordination. is this perhaps a new reality the governments are just going to have to deal with? yeah, very much so. and what we've seen, you know, 15 years that we've been saying this, where groups to effectively mobilize themselves and they can be much, much bigger than the government can deal with. so. so what we're seeing here is a coordinated attack. and obviously there's been some planning in the background to this, but so we shouldn't be surprised that we have seen other countries fall on on just

because social media is so quick and controllable. you said, you said there might be some planning going on in the background. you referring to perhaps planning among among that of the part of being a grass roots campaign or could it be for the blame to spread? i mean, there are plenty of n g o is operating in the country and, and similar surrounding regions as well. yeah, it's too early to, to say that, but certainly there are a lot of disaffected that tech has acts at the moment and, and if you bring them together and, and something such as the fuel price going out, i will actually mobilize an awful lot of people and if you think of the ability to talk to millions of people, then the government can't really respond to that very quickly. so. so i think a lot to lots of governments will be looking at this work. you know how this potential spark that we saw, that we see it as, it's, and may happen in that country as well as you know, because it's on as a major oil and gas producer and

a key economic and security partner for russia. what do you think is going on within the hallowed halls of the kremlin right now? what kind of discussions will there be a lot of concern there as there will be in other countries this, this impact, this could impact on so, so i think there is, this is a potential worldwide shocker. and i could change the order of the content. right. chris phillips, the former head of the national counter terrorism security office in the u. k. joining us live here on our t international. thank you very much. we appreciate it and it's good to have you with us today as well. so the french president has said he wants to irritate the unvaccinated, resorting to an explosive to make his point. his remark comes as the national assembly heatedly debates banning the and jabbed from bars, cafes and cinemas. opponents of rounded online for that, but also for his use of language. a president, shit,

and say that manual electron is unworthy of his office is unworthy and irresponsible, remarked by the president. you shouldn't insult people when you're trying to get them to agree with you. 7000000 french people have to far from medical care and access to vaccines on them to an astonishing confession from across. it is clear, the vaccine pass is a collective punishment against individual freedom was an extraordinary couple of days here in france. this is a bill that was supposed to glide through the parliament without a hiccup, but 1st on monday night, the debate was suspended. and that was simply because the majority party, this is president mack, one's own party, simply couldn't get enough bodies in the chamber for a show of hands to support a motion for the debate to continue into the wee hours of the morning. the debates resumed on tuesday, but following that extraordinary intervention by president mack on,

people were gaston shocked as you saw them at his words so much. so they demanded that the french prime minister get straight to the chamber to explain what the president had said. there was a fiery opposition already to this new measure here in france. covert measures of already seen massive divisions within society. and since 2020, when those restrictions 1st started, there have been mass protests in the country. ah. so what is this vaccine pass warden? why is it perhaps so different to the health passport that is currently in place in france and is already controversial?

well, just give you an idea. if you're on vaccinated in france right now, you can pay to go and have a test if it's negative will be valid for 24 hours, meaning you can go to cafes or restaurants. this vaccine passport will change all of that substantially. it will mean if it's passed that those who are in vaccine it will no longer have the right to access any of these venues. it will even deny them access to long distance trains. the majority people have vaccinated in france, but they remain around 5000000 people, age 12 and over, who are on vaccinate. and as you can imagine, this is very divisive on the streets of paris. there was mixed reaction. i'm against the vaccine pass because it will not prevent the virus from spreading or freedom is restricted and it's affecting everyone. i don't trust the government very much. i think it's enough. if people take care and behave responsibly to check the so i'm against it. i don't find it all right, that they take us from

a health path to vaccination pass. each individual should have a right to do with their body. what they think is right for them in natural immunity works and then what i am for it, it's of my opinion that i am protected and i can go where i want and do what i want to do. so long as i present the past to also, when you asked if i don't think vaccine, passports are a good idea because it infringes on our freedom. and i think that there is insufficient information to make an informed decision. as a young person, i'm left wondering what to do. i did get vaccinated because the alternative would mean i'd have certain freedoms taken away. now from the government's point of view, it says this faxing passport is needed to stop the rapid increase in covert cases. that country is experiencing at the moment, mainly due to the new only con variant. however, given that intervention from mac on, there is a sense that those who may have been persuaded to vote for this bill in the past might be looking to change that mind. and it's not clear now whether this will pass

at all precedent macro. he's a man who's been the squire, is an arrogant president, by many people over the last few years. something he himself addressed really in an interview where he tried to humble himself in front of the french saying that he learned the lessons. his mistakes the way he spoke into french people and to the french citizens in the past. but it does seem from this latest outburst that that is a lesson he truly has not yet learned. we spoke with journalists, alexi, pooler, who says the french government has desperately trying to find a scape goat for its own failures during covert. june 15th good. this. there is a great deal of pandemic fatigue. one of the main issues affecting french citizens is officials bringing measures and non negotiable with public in a country where people are born free and equal the vaccination passports, inappropriate. it is unacceptable. despite the fact that 90 percent of the french population is vaccinated, we have $200000.00 new cases of infection per day. this proves the vaccination,

passport will not prevent coded from spreading. this virus does not care about these freedom curving measures, but the government has another outrageous policy pointing the finger at the end, vaccinated. i'm making them scapegoats for their own shortcomings, this destruction from the government's own mistakes and failures over the past 2 years. the real scandal, the uncertainty of the situation is all of aggravating. we are not told in advance about new rules on the rules are constantly in flux. a loss of energy is being wasted at a time when we need to discuss a number of much more important issues. well, charges have been dropped against new york's disgraced. former governor andrew cuomo stood accused of covering up covert deaths and nursing homes and issues of sexual harassment. the announcement was you can imagine has spoke some french today's news that the manhattan da won't press charges against disgraced former governor cuomo is yet another politically motivated decision by left wing

prosecutors. cuomo has blood on his hands, his victims and their families deserve justice. democrats allowed, corrupt and disgraced governor cuomo to a state criminal charges for nursing home deaths. however, they harris president, trump justice is not blind in new york and shame on us for believing that the justice system would actually work for us. instead of helping cuomo cover up his crimes, listen, well, no, intentionally ordered a jelly virus into elderly homes. and that created code, the death chambers all around the state for our loved ones. now love ones had no chance. there is one man to blame. that man is andrew cuomo. i mean, what kind of society are me when over 50000 people can die horrible, agonizing deaths alone. my father died alone, and there is no semblance of accountability. while an office or chrome i was

accused of letting people into cow homes without testing during the early stages of cove. it is also been accused of under counting deaths by 50 percent. well quote himself denied any wrong doing insist that the virus did not claim more lives in nursing homes, but who ears? 3328 died in the hospital, died in a nursing home. they died. cuomo resigned in august offer a decade. office made public pressure also of a harassment allegations. as, as mentioned, he was charged with groping an assistant, but a district attorney has now concluded that although the accuser was credible, does not enough evidence to bring the case to court. well, we discussed the issue with lawyer and former candidate for the new york city council mani hausa. i think what the public needs to see is, this is just another case of how the rich and powerful get away with crime. if you actually look at the, the players and the political landscape and the albany district attorney david source has been

a long time alley ally of governor promo. i know mr. sores was also part of promos, transitions team in 2006. he was also, you know, part of the moreland commission and, you know, the public, many of the viewers might not remember this, but the moorland commission was created i years ago in order to root out corruption . but then cuomo disbanded it when the corruption was pointing to him. so this is really a case of, you know, what political allies do, it shouldn't be just one person making that kind of decision. because that, that definitely leads to corruption. twila to wrap up. now, with a quick recap of our top story on our t international, a protest have been flaring up in kazakhstan, will demonstrate to somehow managing to actually break into the administrative building of the country's largest city. i'll mattie the. the building was said,

lights with gunfire being heard, and security forces, as we understand, was seen just retreating from a nearby square. the former residents of the president, as well as the office of the ruling party, are also set to still be under attack. there's been no nationwide on rest and sundays response ultimately by growing fuel prices. the president said the process will be now be brought under state control. there's government resigned overnight due to this on rest. are also going to services in smaller cities like ac. so be in the west of the country. the me now with the unverified video, they did appear on various social networks and it showed a crowd of protesters trying to break into the admin administrative building. and

october, police could be seen using water cannon and sun grenades. will bring you a full update on the turbulent developments. and it's on the top of the next hour where you're probably hearing reports all over the place of issues of inflation, whether it's america or even in the u. k. now it's just running rampant. for example, state side recently it a 40 year high or over in the e. u. it's reached as highest level now. since 1987 artist nicky aaron investigates this story. it starts with small things. your favorite coffee is a bit more expensive and the cost of petrol seems annoyingly high. and then there's a full blown economic disaster. and the media in a frenzy price is surging, more than they have in 30 years. and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight. inflation is hitting americans hard prices for gas and groceries, or surging on this wednesday night. the cost of living and it's effect on your

bottom line. newly released data from the u. s. shows inflation growth there at the highest rate and almost 40 years. and eventually frustration hits boiling point seems like every, the prices go up and no matter where you go and no matter what are you shopping? does a lot of this point? i mean, like we've seen last years, right. 0 thing of, you know, like, even like the boy where does it, i'm you that i want to buy on budget. this is getting more expensive. it's harder, wasn't property. i've given up my house. i've given up my car, i've given up my lifestyle. i've given up my, my, my financial freedom. i've had the skill back where i eat, where i shop, how i shop. when i, when i eat at certain places, as i have to adjust with the inflation rates, i had to actually do more things. and so i actually had to take a part time job. so i already work full time job, making

a good amount of money over $65000.00 a year and i still had to take on a side job doing. and i was doing delivery services so, so it affected me an hour in a positive spin, americans were urged to go veggie, or have spaghetti instead out of pocket to on with canceled holidays. no amount of positive spins were enough to save the government from plummeting. popularity. december poll showed a majority of people for the government was not doing enough to fix the problem. as 3 in 10, american stressed over how to cover bill after a dismal financial year. and no one was exempt as president boynton himself, so his signature builds back better legislation, proposing some 2 trillion dollars in social and climate spending killed over inflation phase with a final nail courtesy of his fellow democrat. then i cannot vote to continue with this piece of legislation. i just can't. i've tried everything humanly possible. i

can't get there across the channel, similar scenes with rocketing energy costs, driving up bills and inflation across the 19 member eurozone. soaring to 4.9 percent in november, the highest level since reco it's began in 1997 in germany. rates rose well beyond 5 percent and are rising still. the situation becoming so severe that some germans were faced with a choice between christmas presents for their kids or hating for their homes. people who are on the poverty threshold a more at risk of falling into poverty because of energy prices. this christmas families might not be able to give their children presence or keep them warm in the flat. these are things that concern us. similar things played out across the a year in france. * inflation hit its highest level in 13 years. spanish inflation surged to a 29 year high and people were struggling to cope at brick houses. mac. i notice it clearly never de items and petrol. my rent has been increased,

probably because the landlord feels inflation to i think leticia have burst, killed it, making things look good at madison. there's also purpose behind us. i wouldn't call it lying, but the way affects a handle is very glossy. everything is getting more expensive, but my salary remains the same. more and more people are living on the edge even if they work full time or even more. in some cases, the politicians have no idea what the prices are because they don't go shopping or fill up their cars themselves. but they only serve. i don't think it's as something temporary because the government is introducing a lot of money to the, to me in the wake of the covered crisis. european central bank is present a lot of money, and this is going to increase in inflation. it will stimulate the economy, which is the main goal, but it will increase in inflation. that's for sure. as we reached the final few months of the year, another blow for the world came in the form of on the chrome believe to be highly transmissible, though not as little as the previous cave at variance. on the con,

the spread across the globe closing board is on sparking new restrictions to threaten to prolong supply chain disruptions and keep inflation at all time highs. and rather than loosening monetary policy to support economies, as they did at the start of the pandemic, this time central banks moved to raise interest rates. as face grew, that a surgeon cove at 900 cases could also prolong high inflation. they say the full recovery from cobit 19 can take a matter of months for the world's economy. it could be years if the vaccine was the buzzword for 2021. 1 can only hope that normalization could make the list in 2022. yeah. known as like a much a good news is we kick off the new year here with that wraps up the program on our international thanks for joining us here. it's about 4 30 pm in moscow. back soon with with ah,

this isn't an orphanage. even the children have been queued for the fun in house papa. oh mama mama said, well that's good. oh, nice minnie cole, mitchell in the middle. oh, man, he's violet, mom on the violet piano mom. yes, my a reasonable hour love me. i got to let you know when your bill is to me on in the description shopping. i can learn theme.

i kinda ah, it goes to the chill, which was the chilled beginning with which one is a my with the game is that with
