8:04 pm
wrecked cars are scattered throughout the city. there are places where human bodies have not yet been removed. the peaceful protest over social issues was simply hijacked. 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 grabbing. 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. meanwhile, a freelance reporter working for r t was released late saturday from custody. he had been detained earlier in the day by the army, while our tv crew was covering the last few days of unrest. several nearby countries including neighboring russia, have sent in more than $3000.00 peacekeepers. it's part of a long standing military alliance and follows a request from the cause of president for assistance in restoring order. the

8:06 pm
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 unless activity is ramping up with me and it isn't just russian peacekeepers. all members of the, she is you on said cassock stands cool for health sellers purchased on kingston and armenia. these are newly arrived armenian troops. peacekeepers who have also
8:07 pm
come to the cows or thought 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, fit your organization. thank you up. we'll do the same with that of other people, mostly guarding various sites. get free up as a study through the go about law enforcement, which is desperately needed about 4000 people, right. has brought us suspects of already been arrested like as a funny belief and the military and they faith have these sentences up to life imprisonment, riots, arson, theft and mugging. have ground the city of alma, the to a halt. civilians are urged to stay in doors away from windows, as cows are forces restore order and contain bandits and terrorists, as they call armed looters. even the airport isn't entirely safe to that end. there
8:08 pm
are endless drills exercises for every situation. ah, the security situation, in our much, in near the airport still precarious trooper arriving by the day, they're being drilled, exercising regularly, to prevent infiltration of whatever they're guarding, but by om gangs, or all, mobs, who have seized weapons from various military arsenals. they're also practicing finding any potential info to infiltrate as an containing them. the presence of she asked you forces in kazakhstan is temporary, some say a month, some say to, but talk of pulling out now is premature as so much to be done. life whether be scuba isn't easy, especially the 1st few days can be can be rough,
8:09 pm
the endless, but throws no, 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 for hide very soon. but in reaction abroad and to the deployment, their new secretary of state fears, it will now be difficult to get russian peacekeepers to leave cause it's done with more on that and development on the ground. here's, he course done off reporting from because a couple 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
8:10 pm
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 kazakstan, russia, and some for other posts of yet are 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 are the cause like authorities and government certainly have the capacity to deal appropriately or with
8:11 pm
her with protests or to do so in the 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 denounced such claim spokeswoman for the russian foreign minister. amory, 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 blink, and has in a typically boorish manner, joked about the tragic events in kazakhstan, if antony blink and loves history lesson so much, the let him keep in mind the following. when there are americans in your house, it can be difficult to stay alive,
8:12 pm
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 cast 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,
8:13 pm
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. their former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter, explained to us why he thinks the us isn't that keen russian peacekeepers are in kazakhstan. it's pure hypocrisy, but it's so par for the course when it comes to not just the biden administration, but frankly, speaking, any american administration in the post cold war era, you know, the united states continues to be better than somebody like vladimir putin took over from a person like boris yeltsin, i mean the 1990 s, where the ideal for the united states, a compliant russia was replaced by, you know, a stronger leader who sought to assert, you know, russian sovereignty either can be no doubt to what russia is doing. because extend
8:14 pm
today is lawful it's part of a treaty relationship. they were requested to intervene and they are doing so effectively taking a look at the logistics of it. all kinds of stuff is the biggest of the former soviet republics in central asia and shares massive long borders with russia and china. the protests that began as a response to rising fuel prices in a southwestern industrial city and quickly spread, reportedly driven by simmering discontent over economic policies. in the meantime, imagine being a sites here on holiday and all of a sudden getting caught up in the chaos. 25 russians who are stuck in complex done after commercial flights, were canceled because of the riots have been evacuated by military aircraft to moscow. the tourists visiting for the new year's holidays requested help from the russian peacekeepers to take him back home. want to be vacuuming shared his story. we came here to ski during the new year's holidays and then this terrible incident happened. now we're being evacuated by the military because apparently there isn't
8:15 pm
another way i'm really thankful for the well coordinated work of our military. the guys who 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 and cutbacks on initially emerged over sharp pricing fuel prices but quickly evolved. busy into broader anti government protests. earlier my colleague unit o'neil discussed the crisis and what caused it with jewel political experts. the reasons for these kinds of riots. well, they kind of destruction, could not be purely economic. and also let me tell you that because i start is a relatively reach nation, mostly thanks to the natural resources to that industrial base that had been created. so the reasons i think were political because certain class, southern forces inside the country felt themselves under represented. and obviously, very quickly, the protests which were peaceful in the beginning,
8:16 pm
were hijacked by the forces which wanted political power in the country. the protest do look coordinated, you know, when you go after a tv station, you go after 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's no, it couldn't. you do need to lead that? i think it's quite interesting covers just about it from protests against fuel cap and these moves that we do see, as you said, passing revolution taking of 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 far more serious than the context. unsure is an 1800 kilometer border with china. is beijing worried about any potential spillover, especially in mission jung province of metal,
8:17 pm
but apart from oil, which china imported a lot of oil focused on exposure from took them is on. and also in recent years, china a lot of cold from custody. i think in terms of energy security, castanan is actually extremely important to china. let alone we talk about the one bed one know initiative which is actually cost on is center of the whole thing. yeah. so it's all this is in terms of it's your products and you know, my father's really important to china and i don't think baking would just let us start one on this own. we need stability in the area. it's actually paramount. you know, you only have to look at stunned neighbors. you know, the likes of the back is down there. so the neighbors, afghanistan, not so stable regime. we need stability in that region. we see calling horton to tease,
8:18 pm
to have an ally like russia and have an organization like collective security teacher organizations. c s g o to help gather in this very difficult time. now, well, nature is saying that all csu is, is punching beyond the way they have no right to. and we want information about it. well, she is still has been suggesting corporation to nato since making it to see what followed them. and they thought just did a great ignited, the western positions said that they don't see this as much organization. they didn't want to see a school. so that was totally cause itself to blame for not having the information . all the information was available. and these are available still to come this, our going soft on crime gets new york's new district attorney accused of playing the walk card and leaving people at the mercy of criminals. stay with us is our international

8:21 pm
hm. oh, well as many as 50000 people took to the streets of france on saturday in paris, niece and abbey, non to protest against the covert pass, though seems turned 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 comments were declined across the country and across the political spectrum. and he made them as the national assembly debated a law town whether or not to ban unvaccinated people from much of public life
8:22 pm
excuses if that will be introduced 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 clashed with police who used to guess and battens system of most violent scenes coming out from there in germany on saturday. they will also purchase in several other cities, including the capital berlin, at the same time name, 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

8:24 pm
dealers will also avoid serious charges and certain crimes like possessing marijuana prostitution and resisting arrest will no longer be prosecuted. the plans though sparked a massive backlash. online leaders need to protect the vulnerable, defend victims. and prosecute the criminals who leave residence unsafe. this is not progress from an hadn't 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
8:25 pm
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 of nearly 4 percent, to almost $500.00 robberies were also up around 5 percent to just under $14000.00 and serious assaults increased by 10 percent as well. new york city, new york police sergeant zeek arkham, told us that although the numbers will go down, these new policies, people in the city will not feel safe at all. i think has gotten immediate disastrous potential. well, let me see invoice for a new mayor who said that he was going to be all about law and order, but then voted in this da who basically moved 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
8:26 pm
everything in terms of fairness. 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 towards new york city and feel safe and with these policies, i don't know how they going to feel safe at all. do you criminalizing everything isn't going to make the st safer. your numbers will go down because there will be less arrests for people know how they feel. you know, you can't just watch the numbers and all of a sudden, miraculously, everybody feels okay. know people who have their eyes open, they, they see what's going on in the subways and their writing and the understand what's going on. swinging around the globe to look at some of the stories of making headlines this our. now we must warn you that the find you may find the following images a bit distressing. 5 people are dead after a cliff, fractured in a canyon and southeast to brazil toppling onto tours both below and these extraordinary images. you can hear the passenger screaming as the cliff disintegrate above them, as opposed to the way 3 boats were hidden incident on for nothing. the country
