2:04 pm
we've heard, we've seen some videos the where are these? where, where are the security forces announced through loudspeakers 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 well, an official representative of the collective security treaty alliance has confirmed
2:05 pm
their role in helping the catholic authorities. here is political cause, often northeast keepers from the collective security treaty organization have been deployed in kazakhstan for a limited time period to normalize and stabilize the situation with 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 suggests that some of them were even at 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 follows basically this is, this shows that the government's wasn't bluffing. when our president kind of
2:06 pm
announced that there will be no more world, no more playful approach there. basically that are, they will take a very hard who 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 the, 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 are believed to kind of even discern, decide, completely dismantled the government and the but that wasn't enough for the protesters. but when violence served started to flare up when basically when protesters a did they disarmed, are police officers got access to guns, good access to live ammunition. when that happened, when they started to shoot, when they started to loot and ran sacker world banks and shopping malls and even
2:07 pm
trying to storm and burn 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 was there. she cherished their season buildings and infrastructure gestures including sites has in firearms. these terrace gangs are essentially international. they've undergone serious train way, brought their attack on kazakhstan, must be viewed as an actors gression. 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 threat. it is undermining the integrity of states this military block, this military alliance that unites under its umbrella cassock. stan, along with 5 other pos of your nations. well, this military block has already sent a thousands of its troops, peacekeeping forces to the country, to kazakhstan, and,
2:08 pm
uh, they are already here. at least some of them are already here. and are they are ready to begin their mission, as kazakhstan has reached out for international help now, too well, so that it basically restores the law of restores the rule of law and order in the country. and in the last few hours, a russian military plane landed in cows, exten carrying peacekeepers, there, there on the request of because on the president to help restore law and order, dozens of people have been killed since the riots began, including 18 police officers with hundreds more injured and with the security situation collapsing, president calcium humor the guy of us asked the c s t o military alliance for support to secure vital infrastructure and military facilities. contingent from bella roost, armenian tajikistan, also c. s to you members are being sent to the central asian nation to in

2:10 pm
kazakhstan, but so far to no avail. on the last time it katerina topple, spoke to her father was wedding. the evening she recorded that conversation in it, he described his on his wife's plight. what she didn't know. there are 8 of us sitting here. they don't say anything to us. they just tell us to leave, remember, but where we go. if there is an emergency, they don't give us water and 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 catholic number. there is no internet connection at all. she's not last her point, the russian embassy encounters extend has confirmed that the internet isn't the done. but officials say they are doing old account to help russian travelers caught up in the chaos in terms of why we're seeing what we're actually seeing. the uprising started after a new year, fuel prices. now that because our president has tried to address the issue by imposing a 6 month count on the cost of petrol,
2:11 pm
diesel and liquified petroleum goes, motorists are not rushing to fill up leading to long lines of cars or run petrol stations in nazi here. the drivers are apparently even biting one another to get to the pumps. and the security melts. sun expand house hits supply chains. food trucks are unable to get to supermarkets leading to the shells . game the capital long choose forming its customers things for the day as well. after fund suspended operation, this was the scene earlier thursday in october eastern catholics. it's where the fuel rights 1st started before snowballing into broader anger over inequality. the unemployment claims on government corruption and nepotism. in recent days, people try to storm government buildings. there are, but the situation is not a relatively let's say, take you through
2:12 pm
a quick recap of how things have unfolded. there's been quite a few developments. ah, ah ah ah ah mm
2:13 pm
mm. a group of unidentified people attack the mere tv and radio studios and l monte attackers destroyed the tv production complex and workplaces of journals. ah yes. perhaps lights are in some context here. celtic stone is the biggest of the central asian republics. and shares borders with russia and china. it's a key parts and date of at beijing's belts and rhode initiative as the world's 9th biggest country cossacks on his mass, natural resources at ranks 12th among global oil producers. and it is the world's leading uranium export or so security collapse there has had some immediate impact
2:14 pm
on price of the radioactive heavy metal. it shot up some 8 percent. let's get into the what it all means with dr. hillary am senior lecture and economics out lancaster university in the u. k. it's a pleasure to have you on the program. counts extended kinds for run 40 her sense of global you really and production if exports grind to a halt, what global impact firstly, could that, how it's going to have a big global impact. because of course, that's a lot of debate about moving will more sustainable energy. so rely on fossil fuels is going to go down. we bought alternative sources like wind power, but they don't provide sufficient. and so one of the way forward is going to pay more dependent on nuclear reactors, which is called rely on uranium and do not true. fact the european union has
2:15 pm
just kept to rise the nuclear reactors of being a sustainable full of energy future. so it's very, very important, but uranium is available not clearly with a significant disruption that is going on in public thumb. that is certainly in the short run. in some doubt supplies will be bad. yeah, very section explanation there is there also a security issue at play context on as substantial uranium stockpiles. is there any danger of falling into the wrong hands if it does of more of political issues and the economic one. but obviously it must be a big concern because the amounts of civil disruption that is taking part in that country. i mean, it's widespread in very expense to be very severe. i think that we probably secured
2:16 pm
to confirm with it. yeah. no for point energy prices, as you've been saying, are really close to, to records in many countries. could this be yet another factor, an immediate one in driving off bills? well, i think it will do because we've also got this coupled read the problem with, you know, the russian node stream to supply would be blocked by germany. so there's only one thing that's going to happen here. it's going to put further pressure on energy prices. the country itself, it's been renowned as, as a stable central ation destination for, for people going there to do business and exports as well. could different rest do long term harm to context one's reputation in that regard? i think it will make foreign investors quite nervous. i think they will be looking for more stable economy. they may have been very stable up now. i mean, it's a huge, great country. it graphically,
2:17 pm
very centrally. it's got very important neighbors like china, but what is taking place my country at the minute i think will be foreign companies from actually putting investment. and i think they'll be looking elsewhere. interestingly to other major you really in producers are the us on the street. yeah . can they actually financially benefit from the chaos and causing them? well, they're still just financially benefiting in one way because they share price and sales training in the u. s. companies has gone up, whereas in public share prices go down so that the company is actually involved in uranium production elsewhere are all making finance guidance and i think that will continue. another potential ramification. kalsich stone has become one of the 2nd largest centers for mining and bitcoin. i believe the price has slumped. could not be significant. could not be longer term than just
2:18 pm
a blip. i think it might possibly be just a blip pit the minute in a far as a big calm is a bit of a minority market. it's not of the central currency quite a minute. but if this works, then yes, it could be important. i suppose one of the issues around that is that with the internet down, it goes to show how fickle perhaps bitcoin could be in that regard. you needed to, to mine and a lot of electricity as well. so i suppose in that regarded might be a little and you'd have to keep, keep a careful check and i wouldn't you you will because really it shows how crucial to the mold in the economy, the internet a and when something like an internet going down happen then really a little i can make activity please called market actually grinds to a halt. yeah, very interesting. the, the ramifications of all this. thank you very much for giving us your time and your
2:19 pm
thoughts on all about dr. henry, i am senior lecturer and economics of lancaster university in the united kingdom. thank you. 5. okay, let's leave it on one side for it. no more world news to bring you to day. it is exactly a year on from the u. s. capital riots, joe biden said, it was all cause not day by a web of lies. his quote spun by his predecessor, although notably the american leader got through his entire anniversary speech without once mentioning donald trump by name. trump himself, meanwhile, still insist that biden's election when was marred by fraud ortiz, caleb and reports. well, we heard us present, joe biden, speaking about the events of the previous year, january 6, in which the capital, the storm used solemn and harsh words to describe the events, and he put them squarely on the shoulders of former president. donald trump.
2:20 pm
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 spread a web of lies by the 2020 election. he's done so because he values power over principle. because he, she, his own interest is more important than his country's interest in america's interest. and because his bruised ego 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, as who intended to overturn the results of
2:21 pm
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 common le harris moment than 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 cancel this press conference, siding 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 cancelling 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,
2:22 pm
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, jo biden's promise to re unify the country in 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 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
2:23 pm
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 downplaying the event saying they are minimal. busy that, that this is a ploy 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 u. s. emilia. 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,
2:24 pm
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 divisions have 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, 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. now another story, really interesting, the world, serbia, has summoned the trillion and buster in protest against the treatment of tennis. star novak joke of which the world ever won has been denied entry to australia over
2:25 pm
a vaccine dispute. he's on the brink of becoming the most successful men's player of all time, which would happen if he won this months is trillion open and melbourne. i've seen federer on the del to 21 grams. lumps are tease told, quarter breaks down the story for us. right. now, the world's top tennis player, novak joke of which is awaiting his deportation, hearing in an australian quarantine hotels just several days after his visa was canceled 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 the government and has been governments strong, border protection policies and particularly in relation to the pain damage. that is ensure the destroyer has one of the lowest death rights from target anywhere in the world. we were one of the 1st countries to move on shutting abolitionists. we were
2:26 pm
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 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 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
2:27 pm
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, this set of anti covered 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 the joke of it's really is going to be ported over this will be on quarter. will he not? i spoke with elis cash for professor of sociology aston university in the u. k. long term took her on all things, sport. he thinks the history and government has put itself in an awkward position
2:28 pm
with such a high profile. bon 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 jug 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 locked down. it's funding it's infection rate is spiraling upwards. and so that's saying now if we let junk of it into the country, this is really sacrificing a policy that we've held in place for 2 years and exactly the wrong time in history . on the other hand, if they exclude coverage, then they're going to have a di valued tennis tournament. no medicine is meant to help the sick, but it appears america's health care system need some serious bedside assistance
2:29 pm
itself. or documentary this asked why is life expectancy fully? and while at the bottom and that makes no sense, you know, born is and is blind to nationalities and you as a merge, we don't have a tendency, we don't to look back, see 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 matched. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel
2:30 pm
very proud that we are in it together. oh, the wrong one, i 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 mm.
