anger upset new copays restrictions in europe tear gas and patterns have been deployed in paris and has been on rest in germany and austria to ah, hello there, very early. good morning from russia. are you watching out international will music one i am with me, kevin. i am story more news in from kazakhstan. it's for the 1st half of bullets, and in fact, were riots and protests of grip the country's largest cities. after an increase in liquefied gas prices, cause like authority say they've arrested for thousands suspects now on terrorism charges, adding that many appear to be foreign nationals, soldiers and police continue to patrol the streets and they say they take about control of key infrastructure facilities. the country's largest city al mattie has been racked by chaos for days with stores looted in government buildings set on fire. many those during the looting of been carrying firearms,

fire reports in response. president psychiatry issued an oddities live fire against suspected terrorists without warning. because of official says, a child caught up in the violence has died from a gunshot wound. another is said to be in a critical condition. it's reported to dozens of people, including at least 18 police officers, has been killed in m i. c, cause extends national security committee is published a list of 7 offices indeed have died as a result of the unrest thus far. the president declared the 10th of january as a national day of mourning. we also spoke to a man who lost his son, who was serving the national guard, apparently fell under a truck, driven by the riotous little go that he served for 6 months. we've been planning how to welcome him home and then this tragedy struck out of nowhere. it's very, very hard for a father to bury sun. i urged the people of catholics done to come down. we are

losing our children. a local reporter now. marty described the scene and the fears of the people living in that city to i'm not sure what question company the office of our tv company is located in the very epicenter of the rights. right in front of the office entrance, we found a dead body, a murdered young man to look 20 to 25 years old, and we started filming, and at a distance of 50 to 70 meters, 3 servicemen came up to us and started shouting, stop, hands off what they had weapons which they pointed to tom, i raised my hands, showed my press id and started shouting that we with the press so that they would not shoot. they lowered their weapons only when they came very close to us and saw that we were journalists, we can say that we got off likely because a few days ago, a car with journalists was shot at here. the driver was killed and the cameraman was seriously injured. the situation is still extremely tense. the entire city center is paralyzed and destroyed. all administrative buildings and offices of tv companies were torched. not

a single shopping center remains intact. they were all looted and burned. a lot of small businesses were affected shops and banks. there is traffic in the city, but no public transport doing people are already running out of food. it's a problem to buy any flashpoints of armed confrontation, still flare up periodically and burned. abandoned, wrecked cars are scattered throughout the city. there are places where human bodies have not yet been removed. the peaceful protests over social issues were simply hijacked into the 1st wave of protest was absolutely peaceful. they were simply trying to convey the demands to the authorities. then a 2nd wave began with extremist who began to smash, burn, and attack representatives of power structures. and this is colossal material damage to the city in its infrastructure. how long will it take to recover? how much money will be required? well, the money come from, how will people live through this time? these are very urgent questions now. meantime, update the story we brought you last evening. a freelance reporter working for

r t was released late saturday from custody. or we'd been telling you earlier, been detained in the day by the army, while our tv crew was covering the last few days, unrest, several nearby countries including neighboring russia that have sent in more than 3000 peacekeepers. it's part of a long standing military alliance. and follows a request from the catholic president for assistance in restoring order. a commander described their mission for us when we arrived in the republic of kazakhstan, deployed to be signed area received in order to protect and defend vital state facilities quality that we had ordered to protect the almighty airport. we successfully accomplish that sets of outposts and patrols a watch is being conducted 24 hours a day. every day here is markedly busier than the last hundreds upon hundreds. more peacekeepers are arriving to cats,

dog every single day arriving our troops. peacekeepers have been taken over security at by the strategic infrastructure side such as the power stations, such as government offices, military base is the and the like. which frees up hazard study troops o troops of the catholic star military to go above restoring or the areas where there were riots where there was looting, where the were marauders all and all that were 30 flights yesterday. there were, there are 50 glad for just today. i may, 670 is ramping up. ah

ah. and it isn't just russian peacekeepers or members of the c. s to you on said catholics. todd's call for help. belarus, dicky, start here, gustavo, and armenia. these are newly arrived armenian troops. peacekeepers who have also come to the cows to start a detachment about a 100 people have been said. as part of the request by the cousin study government pool members of the collective security organization. set you up will be the same as that of other people's mostly guarding various sites. get free up to study through the go about law enforcement,

which is desperately needed about 4000 people. right. has marauders suspects of already been arrested? like as a study police and the military and they face have these sentences up to life imprisonment, riots, arson, theft and mugging. have ground the city of alma, the tour. holt. civilians are urged to stay in doors away from windows. as cather forces restore order and contain bandits and terrorists, as they call armed looters. even the airport isn't entirely safe to that. and there are endless drills exercises for every situation ah, security situation in our much in near the airport still precarious troops arriving by the day they're being drilled, exercising regularly to prevent in for tracer navarro whatever their guardian,

but by armed gangs or, or, or mobs who have seized weapons from various military arsenal. they're also practicing finding any potential infiltrate infiltrators and containing them. the presence of c, s. u forces in kazakhstan is temporary, some say a month, some say to, but talk of pulling out now is pretty much your as so much to be done. like a piece. cuba isn't easy, especially the 1st few days can be, can be rough. the endless patrols are not enough supplies in a crazy amount of work to be done, a position to be made secure. but as things stand order is slowly returning to our marquee. and there is confidence that the unrest that has gripped the cadre can be bought behind very soon. but in reaction abroad, the deployment there,

the u. s. secret estate says he says it will now be difficult to get russian peacekeepers to leave kazakstan with more on that developments on the ground. he goes down off next, reporting from the cause that capital, while the country is still reeling from the consequences of some very violent protests, which mostly engulfed the largest city and the former capital over al marti. basically, their protest very quickly escalated into marauding into even terrorist attacks. in fact, the government is talking about 6 wave of those as it is right now in the middle of an anti terror operation. as a result, and 4000 people have been detained because the government's response has been quite heavy handed as well. and there are dozens of dead dozens of killed people on both sides as a result. now, helping out the catholic authorities here is a, more than $3000.00 strong peacekeeping force in international one operating under the umbrella of the collective security treaty organization,

a military alliance that includes context on russia and some for other posts of you know, nations and well, this international peacekeeping presence, it caught the eye of the united states secretary of state antony blinking. ah, has singled out russia and voiced following concerns about russian troops present in cassock stand. it would seem to me that the cassock authorities and government certainly have the capacity to deal appropriately with her with protests or to do so in a way that respects the rights of protesters while maintaining order. so it's not clear why they feel the need for any outside assistance. so we're trying to learn more about it. i think one lesson recent history is that her, once are russians are in your house, sometimes very difficult to get them to leave. russia has already denounce such claims spokeswoman for the russian foreign minister humour as a heart of i has said that such presence such peacekeeping presence, bead rushes,

or any other country that is part of the collective security feed organization. basically, it is legitimate, especially given that cassock stand requested the aid officially, u. s. secretary of state and blinkin, has in a typically boorish manner, joked about the tragic events in kazakhstan, if antony blink and loves history lessons so much, then let him keep in mind the following. when there are americans in your house, it can be difficult to stay alive, let alone not be robbed or raped. native americans, koreans, vietnamese iraqis, panamanians, yugoslavs, libyans, syrians, and many other unfortunate people can say a lot about this. while the president of kazakhstan to kai of he has admitted effectively that the country security forces will most likely be unable to contain this absolute security fall out. and that's why he reached out officially to his allies. in fact, the estimate that the president has given as to how many terrorists are in context and right now,

or at least how many were here about 2 days ago. his estimate was 20000 people. again, that's according to the president. but he has said that basically their response will be very hard line. they were beating and killing policemen and young soldiers, putting fire had administered buildings, looting private premises and shops, killing secular citizens raping young women. in my basic view, no talks with the terrorists. we must kill them while we're still hearing reports of gunfire coming out of the city of al marty as the anti terrorist operation is still ongoing them. but at the same time, little by little, we're also getting reports that order is being restored there. it goes down of reporting for the capital because the thought to a former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter, explain to us why he thinks the u. s. is not kate at the moment that russian peacekeepers are income extern. it's pure hypocrisy,

but it's par for the course when it comes to not just the by new ministration, but frankly speaking, any american administration in the post cold war era, you know, the united states continues to be a bitter bad. somebody like glad amir brewton took over from a person like boris yeltsin. i mean, the 1900 ninety's, where the ideal for the united states a compliant russia was replaced by the way, stronger leader who sought to assert no russian sovereignty either can be no doubt to what russia is doing it. because ext in today is lawful. it's part of a treaty relationship. they were requested to intervene and they are doing so effectively. logistics that's bringing them up catholics down as the biggest of the former soviet republics in central asia. and she has massive long borders with russia and china. the protest began as a response to rising fuel prices in a southwest and industrial city, then quickly spread, reportedly driven by simmering discontent over economic policies. meantime,

imagine big sites say on holiday doing your thing and all the sudden this kicks off around you the chaos. well, 25 russians who were stuck in cars, it's done off the commercial flight for council, because of the right of been evacuated by military aircraft. back to moscow, the tourists visiting new year's holidays requested help from the russian peacekeepers to be taken back home again. one of those evacuation shed his story worker. we came here to ski during the new years, holidays and then this terrible incident happened. now we're being evacuated by the military because apparently there isn't another way i'm really thankful for the well coordinated work of our military. the guys rescued us for taking us out of this terrible situation. thank you very much. god willing will get home fast because this has been a rather scary and difficult ordeal. the unrest in kazakhstan, initially, as mentioned, emerged over sharp rise and fuel prices, but quickly evolved into a broader anti government protests. we discussed the crisis in some length. what caused it with geo politics?

experts. the reasons for these kinds of riots will, these kind of destruction would not be purely economic. and also let me tell you that a relatively reached nation, mostly thanks to the nature of resources and thanks to that industrial base that had been created. so the reasons i think were political because certain class, certain forces inside the country held themselves under represented. and obviously very quickly, in the protests which were peaceful in the beginning, but hijacked by the forces which wanted political power in the country. the protest do luck coordinator. you know, when you go after a t v station, you go after a and a report that's out of the playbook, isn't it? of the revolution, but there is no obvious leader, can an uprising achieve anything without a clear sense of direction? no, it couldn't. you do need to lead. i think it's quite interesting. i was just about

it from protest against a fuel cap in please, a movie that we do. we do see, she said parson revolution taking over the television station, the airport burning down the government buildings. and certainly, as you said, the degree of violence, this is more than just a simple protest against a government or against a regime or against policy. this is looking is far more serious than the context on sure. is an 1800 kilometer border with china is beijing worried about any potential spillover, especially in the ship. jung province as a mental but apart from oil, which china are imported, a lot of oil focused on, especially from documents on and also in recent years, china or a lot of cold from coastal stock. i think in terms of energy security cost on the sector. it's when we imported to china and let alone we talk about the one bed,

one new initiative, which is actually just on center of the whole thing. yeah. so, so this is in terms of the teacher politics and, you know, makes couple funds extremely important to china. and i don't think i would just let just on one on this own, we need stability in the area or it's, it's actually part of much, you know, you only have to look at seconds of stunned neighbors. you know, the likes of becky stuff there. so the neighbors upcoming stuff, that's an unstable regime. we need stability in that region. we see how important it is to have an ally like russia and we have an organization like collective security figure when i was agency s t o to help us down in this very difficult time . now. well laid to is saying that all c s u is no punching beyond its way. they have no right to and that kind of stuff. we want information about that. well,

still has been suggesting corporation to nato since 1000. thank you to see the still was found it and they don't just didn't recognize still the western but it said that they don't see this as a need you to ment, organization. they didn't want to talk to c s, you'll so the west or because it sells to blame for no trade in the information. all the information was available and, and he's available. so i had this out going soft on crime gets new york new district attorney accused of playing the woke up then on leaving people at the mercy of criminal. la storia more here is alta international will use that one. i am continues. it's me, kevin. oh sorry say ah ah, is your media a reflection of reality in

the world trends formed ah, what will make you feel safer? hi, solution for community. are you going the right way or are you being that somewhere? direct? what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. so 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, bearing dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully,

very critical time. time to sit down and talk ah, hi, good morning. the prospect of mandatory cobit vaccine passports, it outrage thousands in paris that protests are broken out and there was scuffled with police who been using battens and tear gas to try to break up the crowds. oh oh. well as many as 50000 people took to the streets of france on saturday in paris,

nice and ivy non to protest against the covert pass. those scenes turn violent with police using tear gas and battens against the crowd. now this was despite the fact that on monday, as many as 400000 people in france tested positive, it comes as the french president emanuel mc crohn used vulgar language against unvaccinated people. his comings were decried across the country and across the political spectrum. and he made them as the national assembly debated a law how and whether or not to ban unvaccinated people from much of public life. it seems as if that will be entities. in the coming days. we've seen similar types of protests happening across europe in vienna. there was food, there was noise, lot of noise, as people protested against new restrictions and against a mandatory vaccination. while healing germany, the most violent protest took place in mud de berg way. thousands of people took to

the streets they, they classed with police who used to guess and battens system of most violent scenes coming out from there. in germany on saturday. they were also purchased in several other cities including the capital, berlin. at the same time, the german hotel and restaurant association has said that these latest rules and regulations regarding covert are a disaster for businesses, particularly for those businesses that rely on in customers. and they've urged the government to provide some kind of assistance. this comes as the world health organization saying that although the new variant only crime is not as severe as the delta vary and was particularly and people who have been vaccinated, there is no way that it can be classified as mild. just like previous variance. alma crohn is hospitalized people and it is killing people. in fact,

the soon army of cases is so huge and quick that it is overwhelming health systems around the world. it is expected that there will be more protests in the coming days. as you append need is continued to introduce new laws and restrictions to try and curve the spread of covered new york slate. his district attorneys already and hot water after laying out his thumb some serious crime of him brag claims. his policies will prevent people being locked up unnecessarily under his watch than armed robbers will only face a misdemeanor charge if they didn't pose a genuine risk of harm. and we'll face just a year in prison at the most drug dealers will also avoid the serious charges to and certain crimes like possessing marijuana prostitution and resisting arrests will no longer be prosecuted. the plan. so spokes a massive backlash on line leaders need to protect the vulnerable, defend victims and prosecute the criminals who leave residence unsafe. this is not

progress from manhattan. liberals need to awaken to the leftist agenda and stop voting their way. when they see the havoc and destruction that low da's like calvin brag, bring to that communities. hopefully they'll finally learn, and hopefully before it's too late. more like justice for nobody. you clearly don't give a damn about the people who will be victimized by your policies. as long as you get to a pair woke, being woke is not a virtue. i work in that cesspool, and i can tell you the anxiety i have every day traveling to and from work. new york city is not a safe place. politicians are playing woke politics with our lives, if only they reap the benefits of the policies they enact. if only the change comes despite new york, experiencing a crime wave last year, with murders up almost 4 percent or almost $500.00 robberies, also up 5 percent, just under $14000.00 serious assaults,

going up 10 percent new york police sergeant z gar, come a guy with lauren on his hands than told us that although the numbers will go down with his plan, he thinks with his new policies, people in the city, i'm not going to feel safe at all. i think has gotten immediate disastrous potential. i mean the city and going for a new mayor who said that he's going to be all about law and order, but then voted in this da who basically rolled out the window and said, you know what, i yeah, i just, you know, i'm going to be woke, i'm going to cuddle criminals. i'm going to decriminalize everything in terms of stairs. that's not the answer. people don't feel safe. people want criminals locked up. people want to be able to walk in the times square and still say go invite your family coming in toward new york city and feel safe and with these policies. i don't know how they're going to feel safe at all. the crystallizing everything isn't going to make the streets safer. ok, your numbers will go down because there'll be less arrests, but people know how they feel. you know,

you can't just watch the numbers and all of a sudden miraculous thing. everybody feels okay. know people who have their eyes open, they, they see what's going on in the subways in their writing and they understand what's going on. now the 2nd world news, ambrey, 5 people dead after a cliff fractured in a canyon and se brazil look at these pictures. it toppled under the tourist votes below all of these extraordinary images you can use readings in the passengers, cliff face disintegrate. above the massive boats attempt to speed away 3 boats were hits in the incidence on lake furnace in the countries capitelli regents to eventually sinking 32 others were injured nearby boats trying the best to pluck terrified survivors from the water place deployed water cannon to disperse protest, as in the chilean capital santiago, up to demonstrate his many throwing stones took to the streets in anger. it's a see him tender protest reps it off the company's president discussed allowing the

private sector so maybe mind $400000.00 tons of lithium. the protest is waving the country's flag, say they are trying to defend chile, natural resources, you and so forth. of a former albanian presence of clashed with police in the capital. tarana demonstrates his smashing the way into the opposition, the democratic parties, h q, while police use t, a gas, a water cannon against them, at least one officer and the protest injured. we think the protest is we're led by a former party lead a celebration, was thrown out of the democrats following allegations of corruption. and i thought into national world news one i am live from moscow and r h q. with me, kevin, no, in thanks very much for watching this weekend for me and the team. a very good morning.
