ah ah ah, i have given the order to open fire and kill terrorists without warning that his act president claims $20.00 an extremist attack. the country's biggest city made deadly anti government unrest. we also thanked 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. we don't know at this point, washington in questions whether kalsich stan had the right to invite its own allies to this by the country being part of a mutual assistance packed under the c s t online also for the price of bitcoin, plummet 10 percent for an internet outage and cows external to take sides a huge share of the world crypto mining operation

with midnight and moscow. welcome to the news hour on r t. i'm, you know, neil taking you through the days big developments because i, president, i was given a shoot to kill order against rioters running them, terrorists after days of anti government unrest. dozens of protesters and at least 18 police officers are dead since the chaos erupt after a new year. few old pricing president, a guy of claims $20000.00 extremist attack has extends largest city almighty, momentary gases. stan will complete it. anti terrorist operation will destroy those who do not surrender. i have given the order to open fire and kill terrorists without warning. hundreds of civilians and military personnel have been injured and killed anonymity due to the actions of terrorists. these were well coordinated

actions. the terrorists exhibited combat readiness and best tale cruelty. it looks like they were trained all the demons of the people, expressed in a peaceful matter, but were heard to do it to produce any democracy. for the president is now waging an anti terror campaign against the rioters elise, an almighty have been rounding up suspects throughout the day. not least, 2000 not been arrested nationwide since the unrest began. and this was the scene in almighty on friday afternoon. thick smoke hanging over the city and after official buildings including the murders office were torched, charred vehicles can be seen on the street sun. sporadic gunfire was reported. security forces, however, se they're now in control of the city. because extent has requested help from its allies to restore, loaded more than 3000 peacekeepers from the sea of theo alliance have arrived from russia. ballard, bruce armenia gast on uncurled his thumb. no,

they are all working to secure vital infrastructure or senior correspond. minot gazda was granted exclusive access to the peacekeeping mission. he flew into al mata with the russian contingent on the fence ministry plate. ah, we have now arrived. how much of a city at the very south of god, i started where much of the violence of some of the worst of the unrest took place . the city was largely abided by law enforcement left for marauders and luther to free tire shopping centers, as well as alluded many shop broke it h d m ah,

activity here at the air field is our might be a theme absolutely print it all day. at some point, so the only minutes past, but we did other played lag or, or taking off for my daughter, the breakneck, this frenzied activity that we're seeing is happening here in alma double just what airfield. but also all across gather, started major cities, major airports as well as a lag crossings where troops, rober allied nations continue the poorer

ah, it is another bad to approve that well, mobilized too quickly. but these corporation troops to get from, from our media from belarus, from russia as well as the start and did you start making their way a pool help, which was catholics thought triggering the collective security organization agreement. that it, that it is a member of because the other star believe that it is a ford outside attack. it is looked at the project, for example, the,

the highly organized nature of the right. the fact that right target that military hospital, law enforcement building, the fact that the marauders looted up also be organized as well as the fact that many of the activities so who activist who are biding these protests doing so from a broad which is ground trigger the collective security agree, but what is now be bigger than that there's allowed all these through the make their way impact of thought. meanwhile, checkpoints have been set up to enforce the current few in the countries capital nurse. so there are 6 of them. arteries, leading i to all, 16. now, this situation has been relatively calm in the capitol forever. it's been out a to a read. so shoot to the covert situation there, at which authority say,

was exacerbated by the right. the protest in kazakhstan 1st broke out on sunday after a spike in the price of liquefied gas used this petroleum and vehicles. it happened after a price camp was lifted, which has since been reimpose by the president, his government told so earlier resigned over the crisis. here's a quick recap of how things have unfolded. ah, ah ah ah, with

a group of unidentified people attack the mere tv and radio studios and l mati. the attackers destroyed the tv production complex and workplaces of journalists. ah well, let's perhaps offer some context here. kalsich stone is the biggest of the central

asian republics, unsure as borders with russia. china, as the world 9th biggest country cows expand, has vast natural resources at ranks among the top 15 global oil producers, also russia's bike nor cosmo jerome is in cows, exten, security. there as being tightened with a high terror alert sent context on is the world's leading uranium exporter as well . the security clubs has pushed up the price of the radioactive heavy metal, which is used in the production of nuclear fuel by 8 percent. the country also plays a prominent role in the crypto world. it is the 2nd largest bitcoin mining nation. on a national internet outage has seemingly cause the global price to stop by 10 percent in the last few days. economist, peter earl, thinks instability such as what we're seeing and cars expand, could become a long term crypto problem. i mean, bitcoin mining moved across the border from trying to gather, extend may of last year when chinese grad down. cause except

a great place for money. big coin 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 as or by john. but there's a certain level of implicit either either political risk or instability. that's never going to be hedge. will this is never going to leave. it's always going to be there because it's dan, of course, has relationships with both russia and china. and yeah, if, if the miners were to move further west were still talking about the sphere influence of russia and the eastern european countries. if they move into western europe, then you're talking about the you, the g, b and that regulatory factor. so it will take a very independent states when that's frequent, which is and has a lot of economic autonomy to welcome bitcoin mining. otherwise, of course, here's

a influence will continue to factor into where it's shaped and not safe to mind. yeah, a lot of ramifications is nor, as we went through earlier, russian peacekeepers or non cars extend. but one country apparently isn't particularly healthy about it. us secretary of state anthony blinking, sees the troops presence as a problem and question the nature of the c. s t o request for help in a speech on friday. less cross to ortiz, kill marble in new york for more on that indeed can about rhetoric from the u. s. comes just days before talks between washington and moscow. interestingly enough, take us through what was said. sure. we have antony blank in the us. secretary of state, he was speaking to reporters about the top news events of the new year. now he touched on the situation and catholic stan, one might expect that he would offer his condolences to those in the country were in danger. but instead of doing that,

he decided to talk about another country. this is what was said by anthony blanket . there are very particular drivers of what's happening because it's down right now, as i said, that go to economic and political matters. and what's happening in there is different from what's happening on ukraine's borders. having said that, i think one lesson of recent history is that once russians are in your house, sometimes very difficult to get them to leave. now it's important to note that he's speaking as the secretary of state of a country with a long pattern of remaining in countries that never invited them. syria never invited the united states in neither did afghanistan. neither did iraq. neither did a number of countries where the usa continues to maintain a military presence, but the situation with cars expand is quite different. it's the authorities of catholic stand that are asking for support. and the o. s. c,

e block has offered its support because it's dan after the countries president reached out to mid a security crisis, but apparently entity blank and thinks he knows better. this is what he said. it would seem to me that the conduct authorities and government certainly have the capacity to deal appropriately with, with protests, to do so in a way that respects the rights of protesters while maintaining law in order. so it's not clear why they feel the need for any outside assistance. so we're trying to learn more about it now the president of cause expand himself, reached out for support amid this security crisis, arguing that they needed support in light of what's happening on the ground and to the blank and says this support is not necessary and seems to know better than the forces that are actually in the country dealing with the crisis. meanwhile, we have jim saki, the white house spokesperson, along with blinking,

questioning the legality of the o. s. the mission being sent to cossick staff. well, it is legal because 6 countries signed the treaty comprising this block and saying that if such an emergency situation did arise, that they would intervene in each other's countries for security reasons. and this is peacekeeping forces. these are peacekeeping forces being sent in. now, antony blanket and his remarks also touched on ukraine and the situation ukraine. and he said that the meeting that's coming up is aimed at at lowering the temperature between the united states and russia. but he then accused russia of, quote, gas lighting and pushing false narratives when it comes to the fact that russia has raised its concerns about nato expansion eastward. he said, the say never has promised that nato wouldn't expand even though russia has provided many documented instances of united states making such a promise that has been broken. now we have a situation further,

where at this point, at this point, ukrainian authorities and others are raising allegations about the fact that russia's troops are in russia. russia, moving its own troops around within its borders, is not a threat to ukraine, but united states continues to play up this idea that somehow russia is a threat to ukraine. and of course, we have this allegation that somehow russia that somehow united states never, never promised not to move nato eastward. here is what anti blanc and said there was no promise that nato wouldn't expand. nato never promised not to admit new members. it could not and would not. the open door policy was a court provision of the 949 north atlantic treaty that founded native now at russia has provided many examples of nato, promising not to expand the james baker. u. s. secretary of state said nato would

not move an inch east. we also had statements from german foreign ministers and german officials. these statements were made. russia has documented this time and time again, us officials to continue to pretend these things that russia has provided as evidence. they simply don't exist, they just pretend that they didn't happen. but regardless, the upcoming meeting is expected to cool temperature. that is the aim, the hope is that us russia relations will improve. that is the aim of the meeting next week between the leader of russia and the leader of the united states. but this, these words from blink and just a few days beforehand are certainly not, not cooling. tensions can, thanks very much for taking us through all about our us corresponding kill up and still ahead. this news our, the british prime minister is once again accused of a corruption. after he seems to suggest he'll do political favors in return for a controversial make over his lot. we break the enough story and more often

the to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist i. they'll see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult. time. time to sit down and talk ah

ah, hello again. the british prime minister is once more having to offend off corruption allegations after it emerged he withheld revealing text messages from a watchdog that was probing. sleaze in the maurice johnson asked a party donor for more money for luxury refurbishments too, as well. and seems to suggest he'll do political favors in return. his rival say it's marks of cronyism. it's pretend deliver both at bars. johnson did know who was

paying for his lecture, flatter innovations if so, that his corruption, plain and simple by attempting to hide the truth, baris john santa minds, his own office. it stinks of the was kind of conservative cronyism with berries. johnson, simon, they're happy to scratch his donna's back to get his flat bruised up 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, is embroiled in fresh accusations of tory sleeves and corruption even fools in the prime minister to give a quote, sincere and humble apology for crucial messages relating to the downing street flat refurbishment of cause. you remember last year orest 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. if a force johnson spent well over a 100000 pounds,

now it seems like the very man that coughed up the halls of this cash with 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 bars. 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 was just don't exist on his phone anymore. well, obviously the opposition is crying foul, but this story really seems to change, minute by minute force. 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 with savish men 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 and, 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 a november investigation found that tory don't as have been offered seats in the house of lords than there was please allegations that many 3 m. p, 's were having 2nd jobs not to mention, of course, december was down than 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, a former minister of state of the u. k. home office. he didn't whole bank either. he is of the view. the prime minister is the most cropped leader in modern british history. he's very clearly been trading all the favors it all the own purposes that his corruption and very much the independent bodies which are looking into this will not will not feel any consequence from coming up with the feel favor and say what the find is probably going 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 for the general public rather arcade and distant. but i think the public on the, on 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. even buying guilty by public opinion on that matter. norris don't think he's behaving the way it is the spectacle and i'm watching aside the standards unsafe dancer. i've been so much part of our democracy. i'm very angry about this. our country got placed in the world and he's crushing it on germany's covered have regulations are about to get even tougher. under new rules coming in, being fully vaccinated won't be enough to enter bars and restaurants. customers will have to show a negative test or proof of a booster shot. it comes after a spike in the infection rate, or she's policy or is in berlin. she told me the latest or heard from the german chancellor of schultz who agreed with the leaders of the 16 states of germany to impose strict rules and regulations in an attempt to try and counter the spread of

cove at 19, at a press conference that was held on friday here in the capital city of berlin, a new regulation has been put in place, particularly for restaurants and bars. now here, as you mentioned, access would only be given to people who have not only had to vaccinations, but in addition, have also had either a booster or a negative taste. so it's no longer enough just to have had to vaccinations. if a person has had that booster, they will then not me to corrine team if they come into contact with a person who does taste positive for covert amongst the other things, there is to be a shortening of the quarantine or the self isolation period. and until now has seen a maximum length of 14 days, it will particularly be shorten for so called critical workers. so this includes your police, your emergency angel, medical staff, the current regulation,

in terms of they being a maximum of 10 people. when you have a public gathering for people who have been either vaccinated or recovered, will continue now the trunk lid to justify these rules and say that it was necessary. if indeed, the country was to have better control of stopping the spread of the infection in future, it comes at the same time that the german health minister has admitted that the biggest problem, problematic area here is restaurants where he says people sit for hours and without any kind of math and not always with social distance thing. meanwhile, early this week, there are more than 20 boys and girls who received the wrong vaccination. they received a highly concentrated vaccination that was made to be for adults, not for children between ages of $5.00 to $11.00. that happened at the vaccination then to act as do. now we have heard from doctors who say that they are in constant

contact with the parents of the children, and they all know dire consequences. while at the same time moving forward, the decision has been made to now have different vaccination centers for children and parents to try and prevent that happening. all of this coming on the back of the ongoing protests here across germany, by people who are against the vaccination or who are against any kind of restrictions when it comes to dealing with cove at 19. on thursday night embedded we saw nearly 200 people take to the streets. also the same night we saw hundreds of people take to the streets in ober housing. take a look, isn't. we're not left, we're not right. we just want freedom, peace, and not someone telling us whether we have to get vaccinated or not. everyone should have freedom of choice fund. i feel the measures a disproportionate and i find this division in society. questionable. i want the parties to listen to each other. so that we are not constantly divided by this.

it's no longer a matter of being vaccinated or not vaccinated. everyone should slowly wake up and ask themselves whether all the measures we have been subjected to here for almost 2 years justified. now, on monday, evening alone, more than a 100000 people rallied in demonstrations across germany. the government has previously bad rallies, but we see happening now is a lot of an authorized so called walks, where by and large people are protesting peacefully. but sometimes there is an event of violence. now the question i there when will things return to normal? for in our, we're really living in the new version of it. crosstalk attempts to make sense of it all off the break. the join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the

world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then in ah, your a forced air chill. tristan's goal is to chose again, one as well. which one is a better way to adjust my weight? let's use a curriculum. well that's the keenest with a couple of junior was, wasn't it that the appointment was for that? if you schedule machine that i did with no, i need to go put that amount with the famous power

to store and with with with hello and welcome to cross stock. were all things are considered non p lebell? how should we describe hard times? what is the zeitgeist, as they say, do we have a sense of direction and purpose? we also hear a lot about the desire to return to normal. what does that mean? now? are we actually living in the new normal? ah,

to discuss these issues and more, i'm joined by my guess, lionel in new york, he is a negro and media analyst. and in paris we crossed to john laughlin. he is a universe, the lecture in history and political philosophy. read gentlemen, cross off rules and effect, that means you can jump in anytime you want, and i always appreciate it. okay, let's start out with john. what is our advice guys today? because it seems to me, we're in a transition that transition during period right now. certainly, we've left something behind, i have no idea where we're going, but i also have a difficult time describing where we are your thoughts? well, to be honest, it feels like we're in the end times pizza because so much seems to be going wrong . both in internal politics across the world and of course in the international situation, it internal politics. i'm referring of course to the sanitary dictatorship, which just gets worse and worse. we've seen

a number of red lines crossed in britain in austria.
