ah, the the, we just all this all here with the international, with breaking news for you. protesters gather again and catholics on larger city album, including in front of local hospitals, reports live barring access. potential agent, nation being rocked by days of rush triggered ultimately by increased fuel prices the meantime and anti terror operation is lost in our market, or force of shoot house between security forces. and protesters authority, se dozens of risers and 13 offices was killed with 3 of them. reportedly having been beheaded here on our team. we spoke to a local john. now everything is broken. the money was taken the window smash. no 3 helmets are lying on the ground. there's lots of rubbish. desperate measures in desperate time fronds reportedly allows cope with infected medic,

with no or few symptoms to work. all of the major hospital staff shortages and not submit a heated debate from parliament over whether to roll out back to the news. very good afternoon to you from all of us here at the international, just off the 2 pm here at moscow and 5 pm in our mattie context on where protesters are. once again, gathering in that the largest city of the country is being gripped by riots for days. that 1st started over a height fuel prices and have since turned deadly, as we understand more than a 1000 people have been injured so far. now this video before really showing now protesters on thursday blocking access to our hospital and our report suggest that morning the ride police not receive treatment. local media, citing lauren forestman se 14 officers have been killed in the city, with 3 disturbingly said to have actually been beheaded. now the government as long

what it's called a counter terror operation. the residents were informed by text message and being asked to stay in a safe place. according to reports, early on thursday, security forces and circled the main swear in the near where the mayor's office was stormed by protesters just the day before. apparently there was a shoot out with arm demonstrated. meanwhile, dozens of protesters were killed over night while attacking police stations and government buildings. and that's all according to local authorities at this point. now we did speak with journalists in order to shut off who works, and he describes the past 24 hours. are you? the protesters ransacked banks and charles. now everything is broken. the money was taken, the windows full military helmets are lying on the ground. there is lots of rubbish, ignite, the internet was turned on for several hours to inform people about the anti terrorist

operation. there were no police officers on the street. we are very few people about the traffic lights going war. p for our last. the trigger was the gas prices, but now only political demands are being hurt. the risk out in people's hat and you know, they don't know the latest developments. they have no access to the internet and police gordon's been set up around the government buildings in the capital notices ton with large queues forming at the cash machines. because basically the banks have suspended operations across the country. meanwhile, the country has asked for assistance from a military block at the part of that of the collective security treaty organization . and is now apparently that organization is sending peacekeepers with russia among them to flying personnel as well. now a correspond that equals don off is now remaining still in the cause of capital with this report. it's the 2nd wave of violence that's happening all across cass extend all across the country according to the official information are more than

a 1000 people have been injured during the protests and some 400 of them are in hospitals, mainly the most may. hm. we've seen a did happen in the city of al marty basically right there we are getting reports over protesters clashing with police outside one of the hospitals. basically they're saying that those injured policemen that they should not receive any treatment. this has been their argument. and this is what they're fighting for right now. so the behavior is really flying high than now. this as hundreds of people have been gathering on the main square there as well, despite all attempts of the law enforcement to break up the protest and to disperse the crowds. here's just a bit of a taste of some of some of the action that the city has seen in the past 24 hours or so. ah

ah ah well there you have it under among just what happened there basically there, right. as they managed to disarm certain policeman, they got access to firearms with live ammunition. they said a blaze, a media center completely burning down several bureaus of media outlets including mir, for example, are the studio of which we are using right now to wealth to go live for you are also also they have burned down the for residence of the president and they basically looted shopping malls, bank sir, axioms and swan, they effectively managed to completely drive out the police of from the city from

the premises. so it was completely wild, absolutely lawless. it was lawless there, as well. mobs were allowed to run a mock rampantly armed again with guns and with that live ammunition as well. even as journalists, we have to live in an absolute information vacuum because it's a state of emergency, a country wide state of emergency and the internet is down completely. there's no way to access the web or not by a wire, not via anything. so our communications have been reduced to text messages and occasional calls. so it's very hard to verify any sort of information that we're getting beat from the government or from the sources on the ground. so every bit of information has to be treated very cautiously while the response definitely has changed in the past 24 hours. basically, in the, initially the government seemed very understanding and tried to make steps towards the, towards the demands of the demonstrators back when these demands were centered around,

well, economy and the initial causes of the protest like a hike in prices on the liquid gas on the fuel so they brought the prices down when they demanded political changes. president hawkeye of disbanded the government under well, but that wasn't enough of the protesters. and so when all this violence happened, basically according to the president, that was the red line. so he changed his rhetoric quite drastically, and he promised a much more hard line response to any violence. have a listen to fish. jury's their season buildings and infrastructure including sites has in firearms. they've also captured the airports and 5 planes, including foreign ones, airborne forces, and our fighting them outside almighty these terrace gangs are essentially international. they've undergone cirrus training broad. their attack on cassock, sun must be viewed as an active aggression. therefore, on the basis of the collective security treaty i have today appealed to the heads

of the c s t o states to assist kazakhstan and overcoming this terrorist threat. in fact, this is no longer a threat. it is undermining the integrity of the states. it is an attack on our citizens who asked me as the head of state urgently help from i considered the appeal to the c. s 2 states to be absolutely appropriate and timely well, so you heard the president. so the fact that the protest is that the armed themselves with military grade weapons and that they have been killing people. this is what tip the balance enough for the president to announce a much more hard line approach. in fact, the, the very, the very thing that he reached out to the collective security treaty organization, a military block between kazakhstan and 5 other posts of youth nations including russia, is already a huge development. and apparently, a lead peacekeeping units of this block are already here. they have already arrived to have exam. and well, their mission is to help load the local law enforcement world to restore law and

order something that they have frankly failed to do in the past 24 hours. because i did, has appeared to me, does appear to me that the situation has been spiraling a well, a vehemently out of control or especially in the city of al marty. but basically, so the conflict here in kazakhstan, it's no longer local, and it has already in a way spilled over the borders. now, as we understand the airport and our matthew, the busiest in the country was over run by protest us over night. the security forces are managed to re take it, but it was so damaged to some degree. the flights remain grounded. as we understand also, a number of travelers remain strived that will. meanwhile, the capital north south turn has also seen a number of flights cancelled or delayed due to the unrest. we spoke to a woman whose parents are stuck at the hub and who is ultimately last contract. right, and you can, if children go to yesterday, my parents were going to leave no so time for saint petersburg and drive the same

day and evening because they were told their flight had been delayed. then around 10 p. m. local time, they were allowed to build the plane when they were older, to leave the aircraft until to leave the airport as well that the flight had been cancelled by the time he had passed through customs. and that's where they are currently. currently 8 russians, they're the rest managed to leave, they get to know sort of information and they can't reach to them. they arrived and kind of extending me december to celebrate new year with our grandparents who leave in a small seat in the of the capital. they managed to get to know some time as far as i know, some acquaintances gave them a lift. they weren't able to stay because they had to get back to their work and st . petersburg. they have been trying to reach the russian consulate in catholic stone. but so far to no avail. now the last time you got the rena topple, spoke to her father was on wednesday evening. she actually recorded the conversation in that he described his and his wife's plight. with movers, she didn't remember. there are 8 of us sitting here, they don't say anything to us. they just tell us to leave them. but where will we

go? if there is an emergency here, they don't give us water. they don't provide us with a hotel room, nothing. and there is no mobile connection. luckily, we were given a chance to make a call from a catholic number, but there is no internet and no connection at all. in the protests in catholics don 1st broke out on sunday after a spike and the price of liquefied natural gas about softer a price cap was lifted. this has since been re imposed by the president and his government even resigned over the crisis. however, the unrest keeps on growing with the state of emergency now imposed nationwide. so just for a moment here on the program, a quick recap of how things unfolded. ah, ah, oh, i

use with a group of unidentified people attack the mere tv and radio studios, and l multi g. attackers, destroy the tv production complex and workplaces of journals. who's

not entirely sure on the geography. let's bring up a map for you quickly. kazakhstan is situated in central asia. it has a very large board of both with russia and china is considered one of the key parts of china's belt and rhode initiative. and one of the main drivers of economic integration among post soviet countries. now as we just saw because it's dawn can be easily found on a map. it is one of the world's largest countries. it also has the 2nd largest economy among former soviet states, off to russia. and the country possesses a vast range of natural resources and is one of the world's most important oil produces, according to independent journalists, modern summers. he says that the views of the right as may not be shut entirely by all of the cossack population has been very stable for very long time. and then of course, because of the stability in the, of the regime over many decades now,

accumulated social problems can take a spoke in the way that we've seen. but obviously it's a very fust developing situation. and it's very hard to know what the real, you know, feelings of old re, people on the demonstrate is obviously very thought up. but a lot of what they're doing is probably quite alarming. html, law abiding citizens. if some people off determined to regime change, then the not going to be a bit difficult. so to media, isn't it? i'm ultimately things should be decided by elections, but it doesn't necessarily, you know, the rogers do not necessarily represent everybody's views on, i'd really don't know which way could jump. because obviously, you know, in any society, the authorities are not going through a lot of people to burn down public property, et cetera. all right,

what are they are here in moscow? still to come here, one r t international one year on from the capitol hill riot. the lion's share of americans apparently fear that democracy is in deep trouble at all according to brand new poles. google, that story animal. we're back in just in lou ah ah ah, ah

. herman diatra shaped banker senators with airs sinks. we dare to ask ah, well, it's good to have you with us today for this program on our tea straight to france way. well, officials era heatedly debating this whole issue of vaccine passes which is being pushed by the macro and government is now being reported. the country is resorting to rather desperate measures to deal with

a shortage of doctors and nurses amid covered apparently allowing infected medics showing fuel no symptoms to carry on working with patients. if the system becomes very strained and 50 percent 1st off, a positive, the less intimacy will come to work because the patients will still need to be careful. this, a new idea from the government comes as france is facing new record levels of cove . it 19 positive cases, some 330000 registered in the last 24 hours. what this will mean, especially exemption is that those who have a covey 19, but with very mild symptoms, would be able to care for patients even though they had the virus. and now what's really interesting about this is the, until now there has been a 3 line whip from the government that the key to catching or when you get code 19 is isolation, isolation, isolation. so this is a huge deviation from what we've been told in the past. and there are health

workers that are concerned about what that would mean in terms of a, whether they would then be transmitting, potentially covey 19 to the patients. this comes at the same time as parliamentarians of approved this controversial vaccine pass. it's been a debate that's been ongoing now in the national assembly for the last few days. suspended not once, but twice the 2nd time after an explosive intervene by president mack on that. a shocked many people here in france, the unvaccinated. i really want to them off. and so we're going to continue doing so until the end. that's the strategy club. it is not appropriate for a president of the republic to say this. the fact that he says such words which seem to be disrespectful of his own nation gives a bad impression on france. you should not be saying, i want to people who are on vaccinated to not be vaccinated is a choice. i was obligated to have the vaccine because i'm

a health worker. but if i had had the choice, i would have not been vaccinated. let go to 2nd so body and number one should make their own decision on whether they want to take the jap. he can not speak like that . he cannot make people do it. however, the national assembly has now decided to pass this law, which means it will go to the senate with the government looking to bring it into force by january 15th. so what will the vaccine passport mean? well, it will essentially by anybody who's not vaccinated from accessing venues like cinnamon cafes, bars, restaurants, even long distance strains. and there is a sense for many people, but this will create a tier of 2nd class citizen. now, during the heated debates of the last few days, there were also accusations that the government just hadn't done enough in the face of knowing about the omnicom variant months ago now to be able to stop the current issues at france is facing and senior one more signal of his inability to

anticipate organize and control events, we have known since around mid november that the omicron variance is circulating. now the majority of people all vaccinated in france, but there remain around 5000000 individuals who haven't gone to have any form of vaccine. so folk possibly bad news for those who've decided, now's the time to get the vaccine. with this passport, it will mean that you have to be fully vaccinated and to be fully vaccinated in france from the end of next week. that will mean having the original doses of the vaccine plus a booster. that could mean even those. now who decide that getting vaccination is the thing for them to do? they could spend months without being able to access those venues, like cafes and restaurants, meaning for them that they are potentially and citizens for at least the next few months, which is apparently how present micron already views them. we got the views of our front lawyer who told us about the government's treatment of the unvaccinated. what

i think you see, it's in responsible. it's so the brutality of the government to, to check the people who are not connected is bad because you are making think regression between the vaccinate, the people on the people. i have to remind you that it's a, it's a right it's, it's in the low that you have to choose the way. if you want to be vaccinated or not by step that has part was already something difficult to use. but i don't think vaccination press part will be useful against contamination on most of the people that are back united. this is not default on not, not the vaccine that the people is the fault of the virus. i'm not against the nation, but i am against the fight to check people who are not vaccinated and going states i have nowhere. apparently, most americans think that democracy is in danger. a new poll is putting the figure

at 83 percent. it was conducted a year on from the capitol hill riot. more than 700 people have been charged over that the questions do remain a taking a look a closer look, i should say for us now a correspondent caleb over the past year, the rhetoric surrounding the infamous january 6th capital riot has become more and more exaggerated. the protesters who participated are now being referred to as domestic terrorists. there were a riotous mob. insurrections, domestic terrors. they were domestic terrorist extremist storm the united states capital. he thought you were going to be right. yeah. yeah. i thought it was the foaming at the mouth from the democrats has gotten so intense and the public has gotten so divided that some are saying that not only the protestors themselves, but any one who might agree with them is an enemy of the state. work to combat

legitimate national security threats now entails calling a politician support his enemies of the state. the fact is that getting rid of trump is the easy part, cleansing the movement, he commands, or getting rid of what he represents to. so many americans is going to be something else. now, many of the more extreme statements that have been made had been retracted or gotten somebody fired. however, it still reveals how extreme the divisions are beneath the surface. so what might the f b? i ask you to do snitch on your relatives. family members and peers are often best positioned to witness signs of mobilization to violence, help prevent homegrown violent extremist visit. go dot usa dot gov to learn how to spot suspicious behaviors and report them to the f b i. now, the capitol police who are excluded from the freedom of information act due to a loophole, have expanded their surveillance operations and upgraded to military great equipment. this technology will be integrated with existing u. s. c. p camera infrastructure,

providing greater high definition surveillance capacity to meet steady state mission requirements and help identify emerging threats. now you can recall how after the january 60 vance tramp and many of his supporters were banned from social media outlets, including facebook and twitter. european voices spoke up about the increasing power of big tax and how it can be used to serve partisan agendas. the fundamental right to freedom of opinion is fundamental, right? a film entry importance and this fundamental right can be interfered with, but through the law and within the framework defined by the legislature. not according to the decision of the management of social media platforms. the fact that a c o can pull the plug on president of the united states loud speaker without any checks and balances is perplexing. digital regulation should not be done by the digital oligarchy itself. regulation of the digital sphere is a matter for sovereign people,

governments and the judiciary. now, more than $700.00 people have been charged with offenses stemming from the riot. however, some people seem to be immune. for example, this individual who can be seen in video urging people to enter the capital has faced no charges. he's been identified as arizona resident re, apps a we need, we need to know or we need to go in the camera go. apps was listed as suspect, 16 on the f. b, i most wanted list following the riots, but now he has disappeared from the list. if re apps had been arrested, his image would still be up on the f. b. i's website just with arrested listed next to it. however, instead he's just vanished. you have to go to the archive dot org way back machine . to find out that aps was even ever on the list. the department of justice is

refusing to give answers about what's really going on here. this individual has not been charged with anything. can you tell us without talking about particular incidents or particular videos? how many agents or assets of the federal government were present on january 6, whether they agitated to go into the capital and if any of them did a. so i'm not going to violate this normal of the rule of law. i'm not going to comment on investigation that's ongoing. now, despite the democrats promises to bring healing and unity to the country, there are still part is an attempt to investigate the january 6th events. and furthermore, to prosecute donald trump and his allies plus jo biden's, popularity numbers are sinking. all of this is raising fear among democrats, that a possible attempt to run by donald trump in 2024 could lead to even further discord in the united states or possibly civil war. 40000000 people right now who are ready to take up arms. you put that together with what the president, before we present, i should say. and his allies are doing the political realm,

state houses, state legislatures, good. and the party apparatus to be able to engineer a situation where they are in a stronger position to pull off a coup in 2024 than they were in 2020. that's not hyperbolic at all. those are all facts. i think that could be the end of our democracy, not to be to, you know, pointed about it, but i want people to understand that this is a make or break point. the events of january 6. there's certainly worth investigating. the countries deserves to know the whole story, but that is not what is taking place on capitol hill. key questions are not being asked. the actual facts of what took place on the ground remains somewhat a mystery. however, the rhetoric from democrats regarding trump supporters has just gotten more and more shrill. if the goal is to bring the country together and make sure events like what happened on january 6, that never happen again. over the past year we've seen anything but that i think any time that we see a riot or any kind of massive disturbance or anything like that in american society,

authoritarians in government use it as an excuse or more control, more laws, more enforcement powers. basically more government, i think that anytime that something happens that one party can use again another to the other political party. i think that they're going to do that. they're going to exploited as much as they can, anytime that republicans can find an incident or an issue or something that they can use as a wedge against the democratic party. they will do so. and anytime that the democrats can find something like they've bound with january 6 that they can use against the republicans, they will. that's the endless good cop bad cop routine that they play against the american public in order to distract those from the fact that they're working together to rob, all of the wind. all right, so wrapping up the program with that paul from america, thanks for joining us. by the way, we are keeping a very close watch on context on a correspondence are on the ground i'm. it was ultimately become a very dangerous situation. both these houses could to come when over

a ton soon that'll be in about 20 or so. ah, 100 mic. no, certainly no borders under a piece. and you farish as a merge, we don't have with the we don't have a vaccine. the whole world needs to take action and be ready. people are judgment, common crisis with we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is great. the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud

that we are in it together. oh, the wrong one, i'll just don't hold any world yet to shape out disdain. because the african and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look so common ground. ah .
