9:06 am
empty supermarket shelves, and that's in the capital city. notices a ton and the following are the latest pages now from the city of tao on context on the caspian sea shore. it's where the unrest started off, the government removed a fuel priced capitan new year. and since then, the protest of snowballed into a broader anger over inequality, unemployment, and claims of government corruption and nepotism. as understand earlier, people try to storm government buildings in town, the situation deaf and now though, is reportedly relatively calm. the president has tried to appease the protesters by reinstating fuels subsidies, a process of petrol, diesel, and liquid petroleum gas will now remain kept for the next 6 months. but so far that has not stopped the tide of unrest. so just for a moment here on the program, a quick recap of all of these things unfolded. ah, ah,
9:07 am
a tooth,
9:08 am
a group of unidentified people attack the mere tv and radio studios and l much. the attackers destroy the tv production complex in workplaces of journal. ah, i'm bringing up a map for you here on the program to give you an idea of where it's old going down . you can see context on it's basically central asia. go to lodge border with both russia and china. it is considered one of the key parts of china's belt and road initiative and one of the main drivers of economic integration among post soviet country, as well as we just saw, cause exxon can easily be found on the map. it is the welds 9th largest country. it also has the 2nd largest economy among former soviet states, off the russia. it does hold boss natural resources from metals to uranium, and it's one of the wells leading oil producers. a rush as
9:09 am
a foreign ministry has voice support now for the cast government. we considered the recent events in the friendly country as an externally inspired attempt by force, using trained and organized arm groups to undermine the security and integrity of the country. all right, crossing life out to the capital, noticed saltado where art is iraq, john off now join us the eager to what about i just off the 8 pm where you are. it's amazing that we've actually been able to establish a connection with you. can you bring us the latest on that situation? what do you know? well, absolutely, rory, the state of emergency has not gone anywhere. it's a state wide thing, a state wide state of emergency, and most of it is due to the events in the largest and the us in the largest city and the former capital of kazakhstan, the city over over alma, a tape basically was going on. there are clashes are entering into the night. they're going into the nice as the police and the security forces. they have moved
9:10 am
in and they are conducting what they call an anti terrorist operation. they're, they're trying to clear out the squares and they're basically trying to drive people out from the streets. we've heard, for example, them announcing through mouthpiece is through loudspeakers. that basically they will be shooting anybody who remains in the street. this is very radical and in fact, dozens of protesters have already been killed. but that's because, according to the government, many of them got access to guns with live ammunition. so they were shooting at the police officers at the law enforcement. so they fired back, for example, we know that tens of protesters of allegedly armed protest is, was shot and killed by the security forces as those rioters were trying to break into and storm at the ministry, the local ministry of interior are so, so we know this is what we know about the situation there, but again, we kind exist here in an information vacuum because it's difficult to vet what's
9:11 am
going on there. we just barely receive any connection. our communication has been reduced to just well text messages, simple text messages, and the well occasional phone calls. so are when it comes to what's going on there again, or any information should be taken and approached very carefully. but really the pictures we're getting from al marty, they'd speak for themselves. ah, hey
9:12 am
. well, we do know that thousands of people have already been rounded up over there. and we also know that more than 10 members of the local law enforcement have been killed. some very disturbing unconfirmed reports suggest that some of them were even be headed, so that adds some very disturbing colors to the picture here. now at the same time, we will, we also know that will thout that hundreds of people have been injured during the crashes or in fact about a 1000 i should say. and about 400 of them have been taken to the hospital. now this follows basically this is, this shows that the government wasn't bluffing when our president to kind of announced that there will be no more world, no more playful approach that basically that they will take a very hard cool, very hard line approach to any sort of descendant to people who decide to stay in the streets and who decide to stay violent is the thing. before. earlier the,
9:13 am
the authorities, they were trying to be helpful. they were trying to show compassion and they even met some of the, some of the initial demands of the protesters. for example, they dropped the prices of liquefied gas, which earlier had seen a hike in more than double. so i believe to kind of even discern, decide, completely dismantled the government and the but that wasn't enough for the protesters, but when violent serv started to flare up, when basically, when protest as a did, they disarmed our police. officers got says 2 guns, good access to live ammunition. when that happened, when they started to shoot, when they started to loot and ran, sacker will banks and shopping malls and even trying to storm and burn down administrative buildings. that's when the government here has said enough's enough and so they have moved in, in fact our to guy of the president. he did not means his words when he announced the new approach to protest carries their season buildings and infrastructure
9:14 am
including sites, housing, firearms. they've also captured the airports and 5 planes, including foreign ones, ebelin forces, and are fighting them outside almighty. these terrorist gangs are essentially international. they've undergone serious training abroad. their attack on kazakhstan must be viewed as an act of 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 to urgently help them. i considered the appeal to the c. s. cheer states to be absolutely appropriate and timely. well, there you heard it. in fact, the appeal has already been met, and in fact, the, this sir, this military block, this military alliance that unites under its umbrella kazakstan along with 5 other posts of yet nations. while this military block has already sent up thousands of
9:15 am
its elite troops, thousands of its peacekeeping, earth thousands of its troops. the beginning peacekeeping forces to the country to kazakhstan and o, they are already here. at least some of them are already here. and are they are ready to begin their mission as has extern has reached out for international help now to well, so that it, there, basically restores the law of restores. are the rule of law and order in the country. are i dotted egleston off? thank you. well, serbia is outraged, offers biggest star. we're talking about tennis. well, number one, no bank joker, which was denied entry to australia. apparently it's all down to a coven vaccine dispute. let's learn more. right now. he's done a quarter joining us live in the studio this afternoon. good to see you, don. so turning into a bit of an international scandal here, we've got both governments now ultimately locking horns. can you talk us through it? right, well, right now, the world's top tennis player, novak joke,
9:16 am
which is awaiting his deportation. hearing in an australian quarantine hotels just several days after his visa was cancelled upon entering the country. now while he was given a medical exemption to participate in the australian open, that's going to be coming up later this month. the border authorities in australia said that he failed to meet the countries entry requirements. we also heard the thoughts of the prime minister of australia on this. so let's take a listen. rules are rules. what i said yesterday, that's the policy of the government, and has been our government's strong border protection policies, and particularly in relation to the pandemic. that is ensure the destroyer has one of the lowest death rights from covered anywhere in the world. we one of the 1st countries to move on shutting ab was we were criticized at the time. but it was the right decision. and we have maintained those important border controls, the entire period of the pandemic. and we don't have any details as to why exactly
9:17 am
the australian border authorities rejected joke of which is attempts to enter the country after all, medical information is strictly confidential when it comes to these reviews. but what we do know is the joke of which was given a medical exemption to participate in the australian open. so of course serbia feels like their top player did everything he could have to. to follow the rules. i told r nova that the whole of serbia is with him and that our bodies are doing everything to see that the harassment of the world's best tennis player is brought to an end. immediately. we will be getting any reaction so far from any of the other players have a voice their opinion on this phone. yeah, we've seen a number of reactions from the players themselves. many are at least sympathetic with joker of interest situation, while others are seriously outraged both at the unprecedented nature of such a decision and what seems to them to be an encroachment of politics and a sport to my knowledge. this has never happened before to any player in the history of the australian open. that had happened to the defending champion and
9:18 am
whether you like him or not. a person who stands by his convictions and divided by all the rules presented to him may be popular to a number of people, but brings no joy to the australian open or to the international reputation of australia as an open minded and welcoming nation. when next time somebody will tell you sports is not interfering with politics. you remember the 6 january, 2022. and surely political ego is not allowing best tennis player in the world to enter the country to which they governmental institutions, granted entree. so as you can see, these are the set of anti cove measures and australia has really rubbed a lot of people the wrong way in the sports world. but we're going to have to wait until this hearing on monday to see if the joke of it's really is going to be deported over this. all right, i'll see you on a quarter. thank you. well, the latest polls suggesting that most americans thing that democracy is in danger. latest numbers, putting the figure at 83 percent that was conducted
9:19 am
a year on from the capitol hill right where more than $700.00 people would charge over that. but there are still plenty of looming questions. so taking a good hard look at is caleb over the past year, the rhetoric surrounding the infamous january 6th capital riot has become more and more exaggerated. the protesters who heart dissipated are now being referred to as domestic terrorists. they were a riotous mob in sure rec shoes, 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 protesters themselves, but anyone 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
9:20 am
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 have 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 position to witness signs of mobilization to violence, help prevent homegrown violent extremist visit go dod 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.
9:21 am
now you can recall how after the january 60 vans tromp 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 that more than $700.00
9:22 am
people had been charged with offences 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 or do you like me to be arrested with all say, we need to go in the gap with go. apps was listed as suspect 16 on the f. b i's 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
9:23 am
incidence 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 norman of the rule of law, i'm not going to comment on an investigation that's ongoing. now, despite the democrats promises to bring healing and unity to the country, there are still partisan attempts 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. 30000000 people right now who are ready to take up arms. you put that together with what the president, the former president 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
9:24 am
a stronger position to pull off a coup in 2024 than they were in 2020. that's not high for bolick. it 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, 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 for more control, more laws,
9:25 am
more enforcement powers. basically more government, i think that anytime that something happens that one party can use against another the other political party. i think that they're going to, 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 done 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 white while wrapping up this alice news cost without story from the united states here on our t international. thanks for joining us. so we just had eager, donna hall correspondent ly, from noticed all town the capital of kazakhstan. we keeping a very close watch on the unrest in that part of the world. more details to come when we were at the top, the ah
