ah ah, i have given the order to open fire and kill terrorists without warning, because president claims 25 an extremist attack, the countries, the biggest city that made deadly anti government on rest. the also the allies, including russia for sending in peacekeepers. we have questions about the nature of this request and whether it has it was a legitimate invitation or not. i, we don't know at this point, washington questions whether catholics does the right to invite its own allies despite the country being part of a mutual assistance product under the c s t o alliance. also in the program, the price of bitcoin plummets 10 percent after an internet outage in cows. done takes out

a huge share of the world's do mining operation with just after care that night. here in the russian capital this friday, the 1st of the year i'm, you know, neil on this is the news our on our team. because our president has given a shoot to kill order against rioters rounding them, terrorists after days of anti government on rest. dozens of protest, her cell at least 18 police officers are dead since the chaos erupt. it after a new year, a fuel price hike, president a guy of claims $20000.00 extremists have a talk cuz like sounds largest city, i'll not say momentarily because the stand will complete its anti terrorist operation to will destroy those who do not surrender, which was till i have given the order to open fire and kill terrorists without warning. hundreds of civilians and military personnel have been injured and killed denomination due to the actions of terrorists. these were well coordinated actions,

laundry, a new terrorists exhibited combat readiness and best heal cruelty. it looks like they were trained gold, the demands of the people expressed in a peaceful matter. most were her video to produce any democracy of mouses from you . the president is now waging a nation wide on t, tara campaign against the rioters. a lease in all might say, have been running up suspects throughout the day. at least 2000 have been arrested nationwide since the unrest began on this was the scene in almighty on friday afternoon. thick smoking hanging over the city after official buildings including the mirrors office were towards the charred vehicles. can be seen on the streets, says brother, gun fire heard as well. security forces, however, say they're not back in control of this both to restore law and order conflicts, townhouse requested help from its allies under the collective security treaty organization. it's a military block of 6 former soviet states. russia was the 1st response on

contingency from bella. ruth started media tajikistan and kirk is thunder. know also there. there's more than $3000.00 troops in total, securing vital infrastructure including reports. washington, though, as counts doubts on their right to be, it can extend were closely monitoring reports that the collective security treaty organization had dispatched its collective peacekeeping forces to kazakstan. we have questions about the nature of this request and whether it has it was a legitimate imitation or not. or we don't know at this point while the russian foreign ministry has already reacted spokeswoman murray as a heart of a has said that, failing to understand something is often presented by washington as an official position and his or what the united states can't understand. according to the russian foreign ministry that the collective security treaty organization is a military alliance, akin to nato, the comparison is of course, a bit of a stretch. but there are some parallels because both are military blocks and the collective security treaty organization. it unites under its umbrella of 6 nations,

possibly states including russia, belarus, and some other countries. and they have an obligation to come to each other's aid. if an act of aggression is committed against one of the member states, again, much like nato, they would have to come for help. they would have to send a to be a troops weapons in your world, some other ammunition or equipment. this is literally written down in the mission statement of this military alliance. that's why the president of catholics done reached out to his allies when he said that right now, international terrorist groups are operating within his country sort of be wrong. some foreign powers are urging us negotiate a reasonable solution, regular, malicious non problem. what kind of negotiations can there be with criminals, which with murderers, spirit, we are dealing with armed, trained bandits, local and for us and me. and it seems that some western media outlets seem to miss the point as well. many singled out russia completely emitting the fact that it not

only moscow, but all literally, all of the member states of this military block are sending peacekeepers as well. that's another thing. these are peacekeeping forces that are sending their officially not just troops. and in fact, at the head, over this military block, he had of the collective security chief, the organization has clarified, time and time again, that these troops said that these peacekeepers are not there to fight, but rather to defend them, to protect some key infrastructure objects. city exhausted, all of these insinuations about our trips, like we're going to break up demonstrations are not true. you must those what? because like lease is born, they will do their job and our job is slightly different to them. rumors about an intervention, occupation and other things started to spread us and it's just stupid. i once again state city, this is the c s t o countries moved to support kazakhstan and such a difficult period. and this is the main reason for our decision. it is no other reason for it. as soon as the situation stabilizes us, the oppression will be suspended and the troops will be pulled down. so it's

unpleasant 1st to hear that we allegedly seize an opportunity, it's fake of the co, c s t o countries, sher, willingness and sincerity in helping context on get through such a trouble period. who will be you this morning? mother, the 1st night that the peacekeeping forces have spent inside of kazakhstan and this night, well, there was a bit of a lull in the fighting. it wasn't as intensified as in the past to 48 hours. but according to the reports that we're hearing from the ground and sions are flaring up again. our teeth eager to adela on the ground in context on where we discussed the presence of peacekeepers on washington's views on them with independent analyst nicholas j. s. davies. the united states may home with this sort of key our approach to the world that in spite of the united states having dropped more than 300000 bond or some other countries in the last 20 years. and then the united states being the one that has to change in systematically invaded

and fond of the country during that time. the us prioritizes the information war, in which it always cost itself the force of the region, the democracy. before since the jet him i see, you know, by contrast, likes to frame its enemy somehow. illegitimate. checkpoints sobbing, set off to enforce the curfew and the countries council nurses. there are 6 of them on archery, leading out of the city. the situation has been relatively common. the capital, however, it's been added to the red zone due to the corporate situation, which authorities say was exacerbated by the rights of the protest in catholics done. first broke out and sunday after a spike in the price of liquefied gas use this petroleum in vehicles. it happened

to after a price camp was lifted, which has since been reimpose by the president. his government also already resigned over the crisis. here's a quick recap of how things have unfolded ah, ah ah, with,

[000:00:00;00] with a group of unidentified people attack the mere tv and radio studio, janelle monte attackers destroyed the tv production, conflicts, and workplaces of journals. well to give some context context on is the biggest. now the central asian republics at church borders with russia and china and is the world's 9th biggest country. because excel has vast,

natural resources had ranks among the top 15 global oil producers and russia's bike and or cousin jerome is in cas extent, security. there has been tightened with a high terror alerts and it's done is also the world's leading uranium exporter. the security clamps has pushed up the prior of the radioactive heavy metal, which is used in the production of nuclear fuel by 8 percent conflicts and also plays a prominent role in the crypto world. it is the 2nd largest bitcoin mining nation on a national internet outage. has caused the global price to slump by 10 percent in the last number of days. that's cross live now to peter c. earl peter is research fellow and the american institute for economic research and is very welcome to the program. by some estimates, peter, the chaos in catholics on his wife died around the 5th of global bitcoin mining. if not, persist, what impact could it have for crypto currencies? driving me, it's difficult to say, i mean,

to certain extent grouped on my mining is very widely geographically diversified. there's many countries in which mining is done, but those tend to be countries in which energy places are low. i think what we're finding out now is that it's very difficult for, for crypto miners to find anywhere that's really advantageous versus other ways. because you're always subject to the women governments. and that's going to be the case until a line must put a, a, a crypto mining rig on a rocket sends into space. and then, by the way, then we send it to eli must win. so it's very hard to find a completely 100 percent risk free proposition for my that's the thing, isn't it? because it's done how to merge doesn't trip to her because as you are going through cheap fuel cheap power. but as we're not saying, the government wants to end with subsidies, and that was partly the trigger for the rights we've been seeing. mining. will it have to migrate elsewhere? can it go elsewhere?

so yeah, i mean, bitcoin mining moved across the border from trying to get extend may of last year when chinese grad down catholics. it's a great place for money because he has an abundance of cheap energy. but, but the thing is that again, we're finding out now that there's no real great or there's no perfect place. i mean, i suppose we could see mining move west georgia or as or by john. but there's a certain level of implicit either either political risk or instability. that's never going to be agile. there's never, never going to leave. it's always going to be there. i valid point yet. can i put this to the that a key selling point of crypto is that it's supposed to be independent of governments. and yet, here we see political unrest in a country many wester's might have never heard of or really disrupting the entire market. could this nic bitcoin and through just think twice about the currency

future? absolutely, i mean, so one of the great things about the big coin again is that you have this diversity of minors and different countries. but to the extent that any one country has a disproportionate amount of miners, because it represents a great proposition in terms to be their energy prices in terms of how welcome it is by the government. whenever there's that sort of geographic concentration, there's political risk and that there's risk for gluco forces to the miners. so there's no again, there's no perfect proposition until either mining wise are being done in space or some nation holds. it's about sort of in a way that sub or did last year as a haven for crypto not just use, but also maybe for mining and development. well, just just one more on crypto china, israel peter, it's been crypto mining, as you mentioned, which is why we believe so much of it moved across the border into context on they have

a huge influence over the nation. the belt roads and being neighbors as well. could they extra pressure to get a bond there as well? absolutely, absolutely. i think one of the things that that weighs heavily in this situation is that coverage then, of course, has relationships with both russia and china. and yeah, if, if, if, if the miners were to move further west were still talking about the sphere of influence of russia and the eastern european countries. and if they move into western europe, then you're talking about the you that you see be, and that regulatory factor. so it will take a very independent states when that's proven, which is it has a lot of economic autonomy to welcome because mining. otherwise, course, here's fluids will continue to factor into, say, not say to mind, maybe just a word and the overall situation. it's not just trip to of course, being affected cause extent of the world's biggest uranium exporter. it's among the

top 15 oil and gas, and producers. could we see a global economic impact from the unrest something significant? yes, so what's happening because it has been disturbed. when we're truly curious though, is that today oil futures fell about one percent. you would think the supply disruptions prices rise, but what that tells me is that the, the world energy markets are more concerned about following demand. and then prices are in energy demand owing to a rapid spread of mcclung. they're about supply disruptions or could change right now as you markets are really focused on the, on the latest stage of the ongoing. so can extend is, is this a concern, but it's not driving oil prices yet. interesting, peter always create the hub. you're a tickle is interesting to hear it. you have to say peter c or a research fellow at the american institute for economic research. thank. thank you . ah,

a quarter of an hour into the program. let's move on to more world news. the british prime minister is once again helping defend off corruption allegations after emerged he withheld revealing text messages from a watch dog. probing fleet in the forest, johnson asked for a party dorner for more money for luxury refurbishments to his flood and seems to suggest him, do political favors in return, his rival se it's marks of cronyism. it's pretend to live above the bars. johnson didn't know who was paying for his luxury flatter innovations. if so, that is corruption, plain and simple. by attempting to hide the truth, boris john santa minds, his own office, it stinks of the was kind of conservative cronyism with bowers johnson, simon. they happy to scratch his donna's back to get his flat to stop in return. while that is indeed the case of cause new year new me hasn't exactly defined bar as johnson's 10 year this year, whatsoever. in fact,

he's embroiled in fresh accusations of tory sleeves and corruption even falls in the prime minister to give a quote, sincere and humble apology for crucial messages relating to the downing street flat refurbishment. of course, you remember last year or johnson was a bird to seek the cash to pay for this rebound. of course, prime ministers are allowed up to $30000.00 pounds every single year before johnson spent well over a $100000.00 pounds. now it seems like the very man that coughed up halls of this cash was a tory donor who at the very same time, was seeking to see a great exhibition, which is essentially a showcase of british innovation and the great empire. now, these text messages dated back to november of 2020 where bar johnson was trying to get the approval of a top interior designer to transform this flag which was being described at the time as a bit of a tip. now, despite apologizing, barnes johnson says he doesn't recall asking for this cache,

and that he didn't disclose any of this evidence to the electoral commission that's investigating the reef up because the text messages don't exist on his phone anymore. well, obviously the opposition is crying foul, but this story really seems to change, minute by minute. boris johnson initially said that he actually paid for this revamp, then some time later you said any loans that were related to the downing street refurbishment would of course be declared in due course. but then at the end of last year, or the johnson insisted that the u. k is not corrupt by genuinely believe that the u. k. is not remotely a corrupt country that i, nor do i believe that our institution are corrupt on. and i think it's very, very important to say that, well, this of course isn't the 1st tory party schedule. of course, last year we saw in november investigation found that tory don't as have been offered seats in the house of lords. then there was, sees allegations that many 3 m p 's were having 2nd jobs not to mention of course,

december was daft and these downing street christmas party allegations, but in relation to this particular mass, boris johnson has indeed been cleared of breaching any ministerial codes, downing street, so that's normal practice for the prime minister to receive project proposal. but many people really question how normal is it to receive conversations about project proposals, while at the very same time, the prime minister is seeking a huge sum of money. we spoke with norman baker, former minister of state, at the u. k. home office. he thinks the prime minister is the most corrupt in modern history. he's very clearly been trading all the favor. is it on your own purposes that his corruption? i very much the independent bodies which will not will not feel any consequence from coming up with a 0 favor and say what they find to be fine. is

breaking the law, breaking the rules and needs to be removed. you know, some of the scandals which are be now been taking place have been to the general public rather arcade and distant. but i think the public understand very well. it was less than one, which is the idea that he will have boxes for his friends. while telling everybody else they are home and not through the rotors of every country buying guilty by public opinion on that matter. norris, don't you the 1st by mr. i think behaving the way it is the spectacle. and i'm watching a size the stand that's an unsafe dancer. i've been so much part of our democracy. i'm very angry about this. our country's good reputation in the world. he crashing it. ah, a 2nd tennis star has been barred from the history lin open for not taking a coven vaccine. men's number one novak brokovich is stuck in an immigration hotel,

and he's now joined thereby check double specialists renata for the children. we can confirm that the check tennis player renata for a java is in the same detention as joggers which together with several other tennis players in melbourne. consulate general and sydney is now dealing with the situation and is in touch with the tennis player. now, renata for a job had flown in earlier into melbourne with the same vaccine exemption grunted to joke of which it showed that she recently recovered from colbert 19. both players held their visas cancelled joker, which has launched on the appeal. the trillion prime minister has defended the harsh line on athletes seeing there should be no exemptions to vaccine rules. rules are rules, is what i said yesterday. that's the policy, the government and has been 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 covet 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. that's cross live now i to alan mercer, a sports column is for his tick allen, just when we're expecting, you know, after the, the new year, all the food and drink and celebration and we get stuck back into sports. we're talking about this. can we touch on what is strictly the prime minister said? there can be a line is not everyone else has to follow these box nation rules when entering the country. so sport stars are no different. what's your take? i mean, it's a real match because a lot daily is billions of dollars a year and a half years for higher education loan where a student and not more than year old. and so they've been very,

very strict on that last year. remember the year or when players has a warranty for but he's 15 days, you know, child before you want to move on now where they're trying to do a nuance and say, well listen if you have an exemption. so if you were here in russia or even within the past 6 months, then you bodies on support. so you're allowed, you know, travel, you're given a q r code, for example, the one to 10 for an awful lot going on. why? which over him for his very ration there in war going on. i think it's going to get worse before it gets better. because right now tomorrow told me that there are a chance there's currently detention center. well, that's

a very interesting point because there's no god given right? is there for a string to hold? one of the grounds, just historically it's been one of the 4. so if that's the case, do you think that international tennis chiefs, you know, they're holding essentially one clear box the greatest clear of his generation or has been for the last few years, at least, novak brokovich from adding to his legacy. he wants to go to 21 pounds times more than any other meal clear, but a st. yet one country will not allow him to do that. do you think that this opens a big debate as to where events are being held all in the western world, for example, as well? you go point because you out the eyes, you know yourself because i know you're very motivated for choose between what's to be called east and west where tournaments, intervention taking place. we went over to one side to europe and people start getting worried again,

we can as well because when they started putting more war events at the china, certainly the ga, the aged be started out for the chinese because they wanted, you know, for players, no, i haven't worked with 10 players for your half a decade or more. you know, you know where to toward 20 or treating traditionally be in china or in the middle east. and australia is one of the pages where a lot of times they don't like to go anyway. so there is just a moment of talking about us. yeah. you say the don't want to go there particularly now i would suspect because you could furniture over and joke of it's being held in melbourne, immigration hotel, allen? where there's been coven, i bricks and fires. in recent months. i put it to you if history is so worried about the spread of the fires, does it make any sense to keep them there and refuse to let them isolate? and in apartments, for example,

was the question if they wanted to isolate, alright, i'd say 50, they do to think that i would have to do to you or to also just thing with this is you are not already saying she's already paid. it is where there were there russian players, ga player, where did we socialize her? and then suddenly she gets taken like a dog and say okay, you're, you're moving out of this or they're going to center. i'm sure so control, but i'm sure she's being tested every day, which you would expect that it's not happened and you don't have it. well, what's the problem? you know, what does it mean under great questions? well, you know, the, the tears you suggest because what they've been told is, terry players were checked. so she, she had the had covey,

not because i didn't where he says that he can take it because of his heart issues . so it's kind of like now it's kind of worms and there are a courtesy detention center. as i've been told from players who were down at the moment, friends or not, they stayed. she had no hope. she waited to be the board as a calendar. i wish we had more time just to get into what you think is going to happen on monday with the hearing and all that, but i'm sure we'll talk to very soon on the subject again. allen, thanks very much for your time. allan merced sports columnist france says fine, google and facebook, more than 200000000 euro for a legally tracking users through online cookies. now they are small blocks of data which sites on ups used to identify and track you for tech, giant cookies, or a vital tool for targeted advertising. but the french data protection agency phase, google and facebook are effectively using them without user's consent. in violation of a 2018,
