our russian military plane has landed in kazakhstan carrying peacekeepers. there, there on the request of because a government to help law and order. dozens of people have been killed since the rice began, including 18 police officers with hundreds more injured. the violence was triggered by a few old price hike for motorists before escalating into broader the government bangor, with the security situation collapsing, president, cast them jewel mark as the c s t o military allies for support to secure vital infrastructure and military facilities. i continue from bella routes also c s t. ready o member is now on its way to the central asian nation. because our president tells accuse the rioters of terrorism that sex on the states. this video leads to be a group blocking access to a hospital and must see local media and say the protesters are attempting to
1:03 pm
prevent injured security forces from being treated. there was mentioned, several officers are dead. and according to a state tv channel, to work early or in the day on murphy, residents receive text messages informing them of a government on her account pay. residents were told to shelter in a safe place, according to reports. early on thursday, security forces in circle the main square. now not a near where the murderers office was stormed on torch the day before. apparently there was a shoot. we're not getting reports from the ton of tow rock, which is on the border with kurdistan. the gunfire is being reported, there was more or tv versus out off is in the capital with the latest. so classes in the largest catholic, city of alameda and former capital have entered the night. in fact, what we are hearing from the ground is that the security forces that they are conducting an all out anti terrorist operation. this is what they're calling it.
1:04 pm
and essentially the goal of it is to get rid of the protesters in the streets. and when i say get rid of it, it means that they are ready to resort to all means necessary. in fact, we've heard, we've seen some videos the, where are these? where, where are the security forces announced through loud speak is that they are prepared to shoot on site, anybody who decides to remain in the streets after the curfew, which starts at 11 p. m. local time here. ah ah ah
1:05 pm
well, an official representative of the collective security treaty alliance has confirmed their role in helping the catholic authorities. here is political cause. often these keepers from the collective security treaty organization have been deployed in kazakhstan for a limited time period to normalize and stabilize the situation. their main objectives are to protect key government and military facilities and assist the security forces of cas extern in restoring line order. 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 clashes, or in fact about a 1000 i should say. and about 400 of them have been taken to hospital. now this
1:06 pm
follows basically this is, this shows that the government's wasn't bluffing. when our president carver now's that there will be no more well, no more playful approach there. basically that are, they will take a very hard go 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, the authorities, they were trying to be helpful. they were trying to show compassion and they even met some of them, some of the initial demands of the protesters, for example, they dropped the prices of a liquefied gas, which earlier had seen a hike in more than double. so i believe to kind of even desert deserve completely dismantled the government and the but that wasn't enough for the protesters, but when violent served started to flare up when basically when protesters a did they disarmed, are police officers got access to guns,
1:07 pm
good access to live ammunition, when that happened, when they started to shoot, when they started to loot and ran sacker, well, banks and shopping malls and even trying to storm and burned down our administrative buildings. that's when the government here has said enough's enough . and so they have moved in, in fact our to kai, of the president. he did not means his words when he announced the new approach to protests with fish juries, their season buildings and infrastructure including sites housing, firearms. these terrace 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. 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
1:08 pm
a thousands of its troops to begin a peacekeeping forces to the country to kazakhstan, and they are already here. at least some of them are already here. and they are ready to begin their mission as catholics time has reached out for international help now to well. so that basically restores the little restores the rule of law and order in the country. encouraged off and nurse hilton, police coordinates have been set off as well, around government buildings in the capital with large queues, forming cash machines, bank suspend operations. nationwide. we heard from a journalist in another city, not a he described the rapid descent into all our chelsor does becomes what every 20 minutes you can hear, shooting the police department, me. there's automatic fire and pistol shot. i think it seems like they are trying to storm the police department today, and i walked across the central square and saw the burned down city hall and the
1:09 pm
president's residence. i talk to people. everyone is scared. people are rushing out to buy food and stores. they argue because people have no access to information because of the internet outage, they don't understand what's going on. like, i'll not say international airport. the busiest in the country was over run by protesters yesterday for a gun battle that lasted several hours. security forces managed to retake the facility overnight, but there was substantial damage on non flights remain grounded, leaving travelers stranded meanwhile on the attempt to seize another port in the country was prevented according to local media. not inertial town, formerly known as estna, most flights being canceled due to the unrest. we spoke to a woman whose parents are stuck there and with whom she has lost contact might. 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 that the flight had been delayed. then
1:10 pm
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 this time he had passed through customs and that's where they are currently. currently 8 russians, they're 30, the rest managed to leave. they get to know so the information and they can't reach to them. they arrived and kind of extending me december to celebrate new year with our grandparents for leaving a small seat in the of the capital. they managed to get to know full 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. st. petersburg. they have been trying to reach the russian consulate in catholic stone . but so far to no avail. near worrying ours there at the last time the country new to paul spoke to her father was on wednesday evening. she recorded the conversation in it. he described his his wife's plight. what she wants to do. there are 8 of us sitting here, they don't say anything to us. they just tell us to leave,
1:11 pm
remember, 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, and luckily we were given a chance to make a call from a cadillac number, but there is no internet and no connection at all. on the latter point, the russian embassy and catholic sound has confirmed that the internet is indeed down. but officials say they're doing all the account to help brush travelers caught up in the chaos. now in terms of why we're seeing what we're seeing, the uprising started off to renew your fuel price. hike that because our president tried to address that issue by imposing a 6 month company, all the cost of petrol, diesel, and liquified petroleum gas after the protest. first started, motorists are not rushing to fill up at leading to long lines of cars. they're run petrol stations in march drivers or apparently even icing to get to the pumps. when the security millstein and cows extern has had supply chain, food trucks are unable to get to supermarkets. and here you can see empty shelves
1:12 pm
in the capital. never a good sign. earlier in the day, the large crowds gathered in october eastern counts, it's done. it's where the fuel lights 1st started before snowballing into broader anger, over inequality, unemployment claims are government corruption and nepotism. in recent days, people tried to storm government buildings there. but at the moment, according to latest information, we have the situations relatively. now here is a quick recap of how things have actually unfolded, and there's quite a few ah, ah ah.
1:13 pm
a group of unidentified people attack the mere tv and radio studios in el monte. the attackers destroy the tv production complex and workplaces of journals.
1:14 pm
and perhaps a good time to add some context. kalsich stone is the biggest of the central asian republics on chairs borders with russia and china. it's a key part of beijing's belt on road initiative. how's the world's 9 biggest country catholic sound? has vast natural resources from metals to uranium on ranks 12th, among global or the producers. the situation in the nation is being closely watched by moscow with the russian foreign ministry, voicing its support for the cause. i come from it. we consider 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. ok, moving on now, exactly a year on from the u. s. capital rights joe biden said it was all caused by
1:15 pm
a web of lies spun by his predecessor, although notably by the gone through his entire other verse re, speech without once mentioning donald trump by name. trump himself, meanwhile, still insist that biden's election when was marred by fraud ne gill martin report. well, we heard us present, joe biden, speaking about the events of the previous year, january 6, in which the capital was stormed. he used solemn and harsh words to describe the events, and he put them squarely on the shoulders of former president donald trump. however, it's important to note he did so without ever saying donald trump's name for the 1st time in our history, president, had not just lost an election. he tried to prevent the peaceful transfer of power. the former president, united states of america, has created and spread a web of lies about the 2020 election. he's done so because he values
1:16 pm
power over principle. because he, she, his own interest is more important than his country's interest in america's interest. and because his bruise, diego matters more to him than our democracy or our constitution, he can accept he lost. now it's also interesting to note that as joe biden spoke, he said that the capital rioters were not a group of tourists. they were rather a group of armed insurrection. it's who intended to overturn the results of a fair election. he said that the elections that took place in 2020 were the fairest elections in the history of the united states. and he said that russia and china are betting that democracy is debt. now, it's also interesting that com, la harris, the vice president spoke prior to joe biden speaking, and many are wondering if this was more of a comma le harris moment than
1:17 pm
a joe biden moment. despite the fact that joe biden is the president and comma la harris is only the vice president. now it's also interesting that donald trump had planned a press conference for today in florida. however, that press conference was canceled. donald trump cancelled his press conference citing what he referred to as buyers and dishonesty from the congressional probe. busy into the january 6 events as well as from the media in light of canceling, his press conference, donald trump did put a statement on the internet responding to joe biden, speech years. some of what was in that statement, biden, who is destroying our nation with insane policies of open borders, corrupt elections, disastrous energy policies, and constitutional mandates, and devastating school closures. use my name today to try to further divide america . the democrats want to own this day of january 6, so they can stoke fears and divide america trumps allegations that the elections in the united states were fraudulent. don't seem to have panned out. however,
1:18 pm
jo biden's promise to re unify the country and the aftermath of the events following the 2020 elections and the january 6 capital riot. they haven't really handout either. polls indicate that the u. s. public is still very, very divided. recent recent studies and polling. busy data shows that at this point, 53 percent of americans say that divisions in the country are worse than they were at the time of the capital riot. in addition to that, only 55 percent of americans accept joe biden is having legitimately won the 2020 election and only and at this point, 57 percent say that events similar to january 6 are likely to occur within the next few years. now the reaction from us mainstream media has also been pretty divided. some outlets are playing up the events in january 6. as the day we almost lost democracy, a great threat, an armed insurrection. other mainstream media outlets in the united states are
1:19 pm
downplaying, the events saying they are minimal that, that this is employed by the democrats to play up the idea that they are victims to demonize trumps. or here's some of what we've seen in us media. vast majority of americans believe democracy is under threat today. they're just the body of the evil here. there are a handful of members who absolutely have distorted lie, exaggerated about what took place on that day make no mistake about or january 6 was not a one off. it stems from the, the big lie perpetrated by donald trump, putting all the blame on president trump is definitely not fair. and it's also furthering divide the divide in the country. cultural regional and political division has always been an aspect of u. s. society, but the polarization that happened during the time that donald trump was president seems to be escalating. and as the january 6 capital riot is commemorated,
1:20 pm
it's important to note that us leaders continue to emphasize that the u. s. model for a democratic society is the ideal for the world, and it's what the world should aspire to. however, around the world, there are many who look at the events that happened on january 6th last year. and wonder if that's really the case. let's go live nor to texas and speak to political analyst on talk radio host, dave perkins, they've always good to have your take on the program. indeed, joe biden essentially dedicated an entire speech to a talking. his predecessor is not a wise move politically. no, but it's pretty much all he's got every week he gets new record lows in ratings for this or that issue. he actually is doing what trump said he was doing aids, slowly dismantling and destroying the country by virtue of policies that don't work . policies that fail, destroy business,
1:21 pm
government strength is having to be used to force people to do things they don't want to do. and everything joe biden brings to the mix forces more harm than good. and so biden's in deep doo doo. and he's got to blame this on trump, and elevate and raise the public awareness of january 6 as if it was, as journal harris said, the same as pearl harbor at which $2500.00 americans were killed. and the same as $911.00 at which $3000.00 americans were killed both by surprise attacks by nasty parties, the japanese imperial military and al qaeda under the command of bin laden. so comparing january 6th to those, you would at least think the death toll would be somewhere similar, right? well, january 6th, one person was killed and that was an unarmed innocent trumps of order. shot dead by a washington policeman. so 2500 dead, 3000 dead, one dead, and on the wrong side. so tomlin harris made
1:22 pm
a genuinely boneheaded stupid comparison, and joe biden said in his reach, that trump rallied the mob to attack the capital. but there are no words that any of the left or any the bite ministration of quoted in from speech to show that he rallied them. and in fact, in the speech, he said, go to the capitol peacefully and people were already entering the capital. the cops opened the doors and a lead people in people were already entering the capital waltz. i'm still a half an hour to go with the speech. it's completely incoherent. what the left says happened, including donald harris's comparison to genuine dark days in american history. there are so many columns, chiz on earth, time given to what happened exactly a year ago at the u. s. capital, without in mind, on the way it's taken over so much of the, of this speech in politics and media. has it had a lasting effect? is it going to be a big issue and you asked politics going forward?
1:23 pm
it helps to divide people or if you want to look at it the other way it shows are divided. they are, they're not convincing a single conservative or republican or trumps of order that january 6th was a dark day. they're not convincing that too many people i know were there and had told me all about what happened. and i've seen in the little video that i've been allowed to see via anti fine b o m guys walking around the very young people in the dark closing. with the extremely heavy, suspicious looking backpacks. you see them and then you look on winter and facebook and you see posts of pictures of them bragging about. having been there to counter protest against the trump fascists. and glad to have been causing trouble. in fact, some of them were worried they might be nice or they were wearing from year from patterson, from church and pretending to be trumps a quarter. so a lot of false flag left wing activity going on on the 6th. and i think that's responsible for most of the violence, but the main thing is it wasn't a big deal. there was probably hundreds of thousands of people there. and maybe
1:24 pm
a couple of 100 idiots went into the capital. and even among those, most of them were peaceful, one or 2 broke things. and i believe those were antiques of people. they've been let go and they're not being pursued by the f b i just in terms of jo biden's speech where he talked to by but didn't mention donald trump. donald trump, himself released the statement and i'll just read it. i. it's an quote, this political theater is all just a distraction for the fact biden has completely and totally failed is not some watts over the top, or do you think that a lot of americans, an insufficient americans come 2020 for sure that you. i'm over 60 years old. i've never seen a president remotely as bad as joe biden or to ministration govern anywhere near as badly as this. and i was a teenager during the nixon administration and soaking up all the press on nixon with no questioning because i had not learned yet to question the press. but joe biden is much worse than nixon. worse than carter jimmy carter thinking his stars
1:25 pm
joe biden got elected to take the pressure off him as the worst person in american history. but here's what's really going on. january 6 is being compared to pearl harbor and $911.00 because they want it to be remembered eternally because it's an instance of trumps, of orders, gathering and shouting support for trump and opposition to democrats. and because democrats can't win the legitimate arguments with policy positions. the next thing they have to do is silence and intimidate the opposition and with january 6, with hundreds of people still in jail, by the way, not charged with anything kept in solitary confinement which is called torture by international military conventions. v left is trying to make opposition political opposition, a crime to intimidate people from speaking up and trying to get their way in law. i'll just re and look at that point. if it's a very important point, isn't it that hundreds have been charged. those are alleged rioters doesn't jail,
1:26 pm
many in legal limbo, just briefly how, how harsh is that? it's unbelievable. it's beyond american history. it's more like the height of the soviet union and the gulag system, and the gulag in north korea are in the prison camps in china. it's more like a communist regime at its peak of power than it is anything like what america has ever done or been, it's horrifying. it makes me want to throw up. it's disgusting and frightening all the more so because i can't stop it because the people doing it are the ones with the national power right now. so to criminalize opposition at the same time they act that way is to ensure themselves power for the foreseeable future. in that terrified day, thanks for your time and your thoughts as always. dave perkins, political analysts and talk radio host lines, antagonism ah, can know the story we're across today. serbia has summoned the trillion on buster in protest against the treatment of tennis. started novak joker,
1:27 pm
which the world number one has been denied entry to australia over a vaccine dispute. he's on the brink of becoming the most successful men's peer of all time, which would happen if he won this month. australian opened in melbourne. ortiz donald quarter, fixed on the story for us. right now, the world's top tennis player, novak joke of, ich, 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 country's entry requirements. we also heard the thoughts of the prime minister of australia on this. so let's take a listen. rules are rules, and that's the policy of the government. and has been out governments 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
1:28 pm
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 pain damage. and we don't have any details as to why exactly the australian border authorities rejected joke of which is attempt 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've seen a number of reactions from the players themselves. many are at least sympathetic with joke of it's a 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
1:29 pm
a sport to my knowledge. this has never happened before to any player in the history of the australian open, that it happened to the defending champion. and whether you liked 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, 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 coven measures in 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 joke of it's really is going to be ported over this long weekend. ahead for him i spoke with l. s. cache moore, professor of sociology at asking university in the u. k. he thinks history and government has put itself in an awkward position with such a high profile,
1:30 pm
but got morrison. the a prime minister has paid it himself into a bit of a corner now, because on the one hand, if he allows junk of which entry into australia, then it's going to kick off in melbourne because this is the most locked down country in the was they have been hardly able to move for the past 2 years, trying to come out of lockdown. it's funding it's inspection rate is spiraling upwards. and so they're saying now if we let junk of it into the country, this is really sacrificing a policy that was held in place for 2 years. exactly the wrong time in history. on the other hand, if they exclude chuck of edge, then they're going to have a d valued tennis tournament. yep. on the historic 21st grand slam on the title as well. now it's.
