2:02 pm
clearly demonstrated earlier storming the administration building of what we're seeing in the largest city a. how must say let's bring in our teaser nicky are in for more in this new key. so many developments coming in and take us through the most significant ones if you will. absolutely, well, what we're witnessing and context on right now. it really is unprecedented. what started in the west of the country of the protest of the weekend. 3 days later we have nationwide protests. we have a state of emergency across the entire country issuing leading the president, president of to issue a police a help he's called on the is the partners of contacts. don punt as of the c s t o frame work, that's russia conflicts don kagan down into jacob's downs to help. also, what we seeing here, government building sees and torsh. we've got offices that have been killed the airport and mossey, which is the biggest city and the country has been seen flights, have been cancelled in and out of the city. and even jets have been seized by these
2:03 pm
protest, including 5 foreign jets. also a t v station has been ceased, stimulus loser, filled out the she wouldn't know what this afternoon, a group of on identified people attack the mir tv and radio studios and l. mati. judging by the cameras, there were about 500 people. the attackers destroyed the tv production complex and workplaces of journalists. there was a rumor on social media. those people were demanding access to the live broadcast. but this is not true. our colleagues were evacuated from the office. none of the journalists are hurt and we are still broadcasting and catholic stars. these protests 1st to rep said over this energy price hi kaz, a result is not being brought down to the previous price. oh, so the former president nathan as my have another buy of he demonstrates, has expressed anger towards he's been removed from his post as the head of the security council. and the government has resigned. but none of these me have
2:04 pm
quelled these angry protest is just deteriorating farther into bloodshed into violence, the leading president, a kind of who was speaking just earlier to point the thing out where he's a keys. external force is, he said that these gangs of terrorists which are causing all this may have in the country have with the training abroad. now we have our correspondence on the ground egleston. i think it has all the latest lesson to what has to say. there have been problems here with pretty much everything when it comes to the connection. in fact, it has been reduced to text messaging and for me personally only incoming calls. so there's no 3 g, no l t, there's no internet basically even cable connections. they don't work here in the capital nozzle time and according to repose that we're seeing elsewhere in the country as well. it is a country wide effort by the government to completely well silence all air waves and reduce them to the most basic communication. again, i can't call people,
2:05 pm
i can only receive incoming calls here. also, you might have noticed that be high. it's, well, it's brian. it's, it's the light of day. well it is, it is a fake bag ground. and unfortunately we have to use this studio which only has one bag ground, which is a day one. and we can't go outside because simply again, there's no connection there. and so we have to use this one because it, so there's only a handful over there's only a handful of options. how to go live and talk to you and to report from the ground again, live. and we are using one of these, one of these very few options all across the casks done. and pretty much every major city here in the country has faced will. absolute may ham and chaos lately. basically are in the former capital of kazakhstan, in the city of al matter, almighty situation got completely out of control. basically their protest is
2:06 pm
managed to completely drive out any sort of law enforcement from the city, from the premise, from the premises. so there's no national guard, there's no police know anything there. also we've seen reports that they may have disarmed some of the soldiers, some of the police officers as well as so the may have access to actual guns with live ammunition, which is a very scary development. given that it's a city of millions, with absolutely lawlessness, with an absolute state of lawlessness and not a single policeman on the ground. according to the latest reports that we have received here, they have already been in a marauders. they have begun looting and ransacking 80 m's, they have captured at the airport in that, in the city. and so basically we were supposed to get there, but our flight has been well formally delayed. but in all fairness, all flights to that town, they have been cancelled in cities. they have been shutting down one by one due to
2:07 pm
all the may. hm. and chaos because al mart is far from the only city he that has faced such brutality on the side of well i guess both sides are other towns as well . and in some other, smaller cities, there are pro the police. they actually switch sides and joined the protesters again, going back to the former capital there as well. for example, protest as they are stormed the a local mayor's office, and they set ablaze every single floor of it. and they also stormed the former, the former presidential residence, and they were set at a place as well in the capitol. it's a state of emergency as well. i mean, are there is a curfew basically, or you can't show your face outside the building, past 11 pm and until 7 a. m. here in the capital, things have been rather quiet, i should say, even though dozens of people still showed up and they will rounded up by the police
2:08 pm
. but it looks all this feels like in like a lull before a big storm because one thing to understand about the city here, it's a white color and blue color haven. basically all governmental workers, most of them they live and work here. also it's very, very cold. so right now we've talked to, i've talked to a bunch of locals, and they have told me that, well, they are waiting for the weekend because that's when it will get warmer and they will have more, more free time on their hands. so we'll have to wait and see how things develop. but so far, very troubling, very troubling developments here as herb cities have been falling, one by one into lawlessness, to protest as and the government as well of all efforts have turned out to be futile. so far, so it's unclear if even here in the capitol, the authorities and the law enforcement will be able to stop this pendulum of chaos from swinging completely out of control. and it is,
2:09 pm
we're eager speaking from cassock. sounds big, a city al mattie, we're the most of the rest has been seen so far. in fact, in this you, you may be able to make out a crowd surrounding a police officer and seizing his firearm. we're not getting reports as well, that crowds are trying to seize the local interior ministry building there earlier they had managed to storm the city administration. ah ah mm. also clashes on bluff in smaller cities including act so paid us in the west of context. on this, on verified video, appeared on the social network showing
2:10 pm
a crowd trying to brick into a government building. there is seemingly no left up to the unrest despite the government tendering its resignation on the president re insist at reinstating limits on those after fuel costs as well. now we have been speaking to local journalists, who work near the administration building in al nazi that was attacked. they describe the chaos that's been unfolding for the past number of days. oh, gotcha. we're the, we're clashes between protesters and police in al mattie at night. are working day began very early in the morning. it's about 5 am. we filmed the aftermath of the protests. the cities at central square was the epi center of the unrest. we saw many police officers at 1st. the protesters were quiet, but then flashed grenades went off. we saw a fire start on the side of the administration building, which was then seized by protesters. people then began approaching our neighbouring
2:11 pm
tv station. we were evacuated from there. half of the traffic lights do not work, and al martino and internet blackouts have begun. the protests are clearly organized. they began in several cities at once, which has never happened and 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. good. other than that which the gay journalists are avoiding the square with the clashes had taken place because there is apparently shooting with life fire. one armory was destroyed or weapons were taken. some people are behaving aggressively using sticks and battens. they took helmets and bullet proof vests from the military. that's just a few troublemakers. but the main crowd of protests is, is condemning their actions and trying to prevent violence. they even snatch sticks and battens from the guys near by said that they do not attack anyone. there is
2:12 pm
a heavy security presence in the city, police, and military. they're trying to move the crowd away from the square, but it's not working. the crowd retreats than advances. police shooting rubber, bullets, stun grenades, sometimes his hand to hand crashes with protesters. we tried a couple of hours ago to get to the mayor's office, which was seized to day. we were told that there is shooting going on the military, his already we taken the residence and they are trying to push back the protesters . this mood has been building out for a long time. the gas price was just a trigger. all the problems, social, economic, political, it's accumulated, in my opinion. first, they started to make demands about gas, and then they realized they could demand other things. well, some of the reaction we have been getting to the situation was from independent journalist martin summers. he thinks the views of those rioters may not be shared by most of the cars. act population has been very stable for very long time. but
2:13 pm
then, of course, because of the stability in the, the, the, of the regime over many decades. now, the accumulated social problems that can take a spoke in the way that we see. but obviously it's a very fust developing situation. but it's very hard to know what the real, you know, feelings, walden, re, people, army, the demonstrate zones in very thought up. but a lot of what they're doing is probably quite alarming html, law abiding citizens. if some people are determined to regime change, than, than, that's going to be a bit difficult to, to mediate, isn't it? i'm ultimately that things should be decided by elections, but it doesn't necessarily, you know, the writers do not necessarily represent everybody's views um on, i really don't know which way could jump is obviously, you know, in any society the authorities are not going to allow people to burn down public
2:14 pm
property, etc. on just a final line on this story, russia's foreign ministry has responded to the unrest in context on expressing support for president a guy of it. also called for a dialog on an end to street on rest unstressed. the importance of catholics done as a strategic partner care. let's move on to more world news. the french president has said he wants to irritate the on vaccinated, resorting to the use of a swear word to make his point. his remark came as the national assembly heatedly, the bates bonding vaccine, hesitant people from bars, cafes and cinemas. opponents have rounded all the money will ma chrome for his use of language. a president shouldn't say that manual mac crohn is unworthy of his office. it's an unworthy and irresponsible remark by the president . you shouldn't insult people when you're trying to get them to agree with you.
2:15 pm
7000000 french people have to fall 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 there 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
2:16 pm
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's currently in place in france and is already controversial, or 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,
2:17 pm
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. 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 care to. so i'm against it, i don't find it. all right, that they take us from a health pass to vaccination path. each individual should have a right to do with their body. what they think is right for them in natural immunity works. i am for it. it's of my opinion that i am protected and i can go
2:18 pm
where i want and do what i want. so long as i present the past also will be best 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 vaccine passport is needed to stop the rapid increase in covert cases . the 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 macros. he's a man who's been 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
2:19 pm
of the french saying that you'd learn the lessons. his mistakes, the way he had spoken to 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 across the channel bud news for earners in the u. k. as a majority of economists, thing people's wages will be paced by inflation. it's according to an annual end of year poll conducted by the financial times. inflation is already of a 10 year high in the u. k. combined with new toxics, it's all hitting britons hard. with the case resolution foundation warning of a coming cost of living. catastrophe. ortiz me looking at the impact that solving already struggling british families. it's not so happy new year haven, brittany, eat, or heat die. lemme means households could find themselves 1200 pounds
2:20 pm
a year was off in 2022 according to a leading think tank. sterling wages plus soaring energy bills and taxes will cause a cost of living catastrophe. 2022 said to the year of the squeeze was real wage is said to be no higher next christmas than to day. and families face a typical income hate of around $1200.00 pounds a year from april as a result of tax rises and storing energy bills. come april, the new energy price cap will be set, meaning bills will jump by $600.00 pounds and the same amount will have to be coughed up due to tax changes all the while real wages will only grow by 0 point one percent. the result, particularly for low income families who already struggle to make ends meet, will be devastating or not. people are now turning up the food banks in general. and just see can help who ordinarily would not have even consider the possibility by me 6 months ago. a year ago, but most people are now starting food banks and asking for no houses,
2:21 pm
which means that they literally make the decision between heating anything you know, that if you haven't decided between getting food and having the means to potentially lease it. so obviously gave me the impression that things were a lot more dire than most people 1st. well, the cost of living is continuing to rise and government don't or capital costs, then it's going to cause a loss of die, a hardship, $1000.00 job, even death within the next 12 months. the hard, the shows you but will be the elderly, the vulnerable disabled with a loss of low income, single parent families, feeling the strain and the squeeze. where in my opinion, he called forth a lot of people into criminal justice. survive, as of all that isn't bad enough, inflation is through the roof, leaping to
2:22 pm
a 10 year high of 5 point one percent. the bank of england is predicting that it will reach around 6 percent by spring. so the british rage is falling in real times, at least with this current on income in the words of boris johnson is a change in direction lower that you towards a high wage high scale economy. there is no alternative the u. k has got to. we can do much, much better by becoming a higher wage, high productivity economy. so technically, we were warned but not everyone is buying it, including politicians on both sides of the spectrum. heating bills are going through the roof. punishing tax rises on the way. wages are stagnating, universal credit cuts have hit struggling families hard. all world prices in the shops are rising and inflation risks, eroding the value of savings and pensions. rising wages are great unless prices
2:23 pm
rise faster. inflation matters is about what we can afford and how families make ends meet in a tough month. and it's not just those in the house of commons that are calling for a policy change. the trade party entity u. k has demanded reducing the a t to cut the cost of bills instead, while the other say the government should for the bill. so large this overnight cost of living catastrophe. that is hard to see how the government avoids stepping in top of the government's new year resolutions should be addressing a pulls energy bills hike, particularly for the poorest households who will be hardest hit by rising gas and electricity bills. if there isn't a u turn soon, 2022 will be a tough year for many whose bouts of already been squeezed by the pandemic, empty and people's pockets. so it's struggling families that are likely to bear the brunt the not looking at the reality. the reality is that they shouldn't be too energy places they comb with the warm home discharge. well,
2:24 pm
they've got to look at the individual people, me individual families. they've got to look up the cost of living. the cost of living is way above the cost. now that's coming in, the price rises in the way derived, not coming through quickly to perform. if you put wages, you're going to rise a inflation by going to raise the interest rate, you've got to look up the only option which is to reduce the price of living cost. the cost of the cost, the cost of fuel needs to be use to come back and with the people in the this country is going to go back very quickly. okay, before we go, let's get a recap of the top story. the unrest in cows extend where the government's resigns, made rioting over soaring fuel prices. because our president has described the report intruders of terrorists seen up the seas, 5 planes. cason jo mart,
2:25 pm
the guy of also claims the attackers were trained abroad. now he's declared a state of emergency and this promised a major cracked on while also asking for support from the russia lead c s t o military alliance. earlier in the day, a mob stormed the administration building in the largest city are much the the compound was torched. gunfire could be heard, security forces seen retreating as well from a nearby square. this all cleared up, but new year when that because our government lifted a cap on the price of liquified petroleum gas. it's widely used in cars and cars. extern has been heavily subsidized. so the price left, which authorities said was due to writing production costs. the entire economy felt the impact with the situation spiraling out of control that government has
2:26 pm
reportedly shut down the internet nationwide. the in the demonstrations how spread to smaller cars, tons and cities. this on verified video appeared on social networks. it shows a crowd of protesters trying to break into the government building in october. that's in the west of the country. police could be seen using water county in and stun grenades in an effort to really keep them at bay. it really as rapidly as living situation r t though, will be keeping on top of all the significant developments and not as where we leave the news up there. but some more great programs are just
2:27 pm
