some of the police were even beheaded with authority. stressing groups of rights as were highly organized and used 2 way radios, presence of tie, if they responded with an order to shoot, suspected terrorists on sites. then videos been circulating on line of a man from curtis star, new claims. he was paid to come to cause extern to join the riots. security forces, believe he's a terrorist, is the footage? it'll slow me know, some this on january 1st. some strangers called me and offered to participate in the rally over $200.00. since i'm unemployed in kurdistan, they bought me plaintext on january 2nd, i flew to my seat and i was brought to an apartment where there were also citizens of tickets and was biggest and there were about 10 people. i didn't understand what they were talking about when the relative began. i got scared, returned to my apartment, spend the night, and the next day i decided to go home and i was detained by the military. also.

meanwhile, relatives friends who colleagues identified the video as vic kraemer russo who no fake is jazz musician. they say they claim he's being tortured and they don't know his whereabouts. at the moment. authorities in his home country confirmed who was not a terrorist and the center protest, nope, the cadillac embassy, who supported the invited to give a concert and l. c. before the protest broke, as a crowd gathered at the cause they can proceed developing its release. now returning next to the damage has been caused by the unrest more of it. here's the aftermath of the riots is attack on a building which has several television studios and l. matty new to. so cameras and damage to other expensive equipment. before setting the premises, a light reporter whose office was attack, described to us the chaos and the fee is really real phase of the people living in the city over the past few days. i'm not sure what question the company the office of our tv company is located in the very upper center 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 for them we started filming, and at a distance of 50 to 70 meters, 3 service men came up to us and started shouting, stop, hands on what they had weapons which they pointed to tongue, actually i raised my hands, showed my press id when it 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 would journalists, we can say that we got off lightly 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 to food. it's a problem to buy any of the big flash points of on 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 was simply hijacked into the 1st wave of protests was absolutely peaceful. they was simply trying to convey the demands to the authorities. then a 2nd wave began with extremists who began to smash, burn, and attack representatives of power structures. 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. because it's not a central asia biggest republican shares long borders with russia and china. the protests have been driven by long suffering, resentment over disparities, and welfare, with the most violent clashes erupting in the commercial capital l. m. a t, located in the se. well as a trouble got worse, cars extern requested help from neighboring allies to restore law,

and order more than 3000 peacekeepers from the multinational. c. s t. o military lives arrived from russia betters mania to jesus and cut against the state admission to secure the vital infrastructure. while the local law enforcement was to deal with the writers. we arrived in the republic of catholics tons deployed to the science area received in order to protect and defend vital states facility. the changes that you, we had orders to protect the almighty airport. we successfully accomplish that and it sets about posts and patrols. it was a watch is being conducted 24 hours a day. every day here is markedly busier than the last. hundreds upon a 100. more peacekeepers are arriving to cats, dog. every single day arriving our troops. peacekeepers have 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 freeze up. cuz it started the troops. troops of the catholic star military to go above restoring order in the areas where there were riots where there was looting, where the were marauders with . mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. and it isn't just russian peacekeepers. all members of the c s u onset, kazakhstan school, for health sellers, patricky stuff gets done, and armenia. these are newly arrived armenian troops. peacekeepers who have also

come to the car to start a detachment about a 100 people have been said. as part of the request, by the case study, government pool members of the collective security organization. there will be the same with that of abra peacekeepers, mostly guarding various sites. get free up ago about law enforcement pushes desperately needed riot. 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 for thought, order and contain bandits and terrorists, as they call armed bluetooth, even the airport isn't entirely safe to that. then there are endless drills exercises for every situation. ah,

the security situation in alma to near the airport still precarious trooper arriving by the day they're being drilled, exercising regularly, to prevent infiltration of or whatever they're guarding. but by om gaggs, or, or, or mobs, who have seized weapons from various military arsenals. they're also practicing finding any potential infiltrate infiltrators and 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 peace, 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 in position to be made secure. but as

things stand order is slowly returning to on my day. and there is confidence that the unrest that has gripped the cadre can be bought per hide. very soon. those peacekeepers have also by created at least 500 russians from mattie to, they've been visiting over the new years. holidays got caught up in a inversely, but less stranded when commercial flights were canceled because of the riots in the week. we talked to some of them don't law. it was really scary, such huge screaming crowds with the town see me. but now we are finally in the airport and we hope we are going home for years. it was terrified, especially because of my child. he was crying a lot, asking to get him away from here. i called the russian embassy as they told me that russia had organized evacuation flights and asked us to come to the airport. so here we are. finished the mobile? no, i think we were in the suburbs, but we also heard the shooting and explosions when the mobiles signal was blocked.

we stopped receiving use from moscow and became more unpleasant at night with which the lights off, so as not to become an target for looters. here it was terrifying and it's good that we now have evacuation fly at all. ma'am, with us lou lou, we came here to see friends and should have had a flight back to moscow on the 7th of january. and was we did not face any serious difficulties as we stayed in the hotel. but we heard explosions and saw burned out . cars. was this, it was horrible and scary. our friend took us to the airport. everything was calm. we want to thank the government and people who accompanied us here, the military personnel i w of his he goes down of us, been reporting about for us since mattie was hearing firsthand about the difficulties people are facing. bodies still lie in the streets of central alma top central al marta, which still lies in ruins, cordoned off by the military, and the police both are so an edge. it's as if they're expecting an invisible threat to strike, to attack them. 247 from all possible sides. the airport,

which is right behind me, has been destroyed in the riots by the armed mobs as well, and it is completely on functioning. but that's for regular aircraft. some lucky ones have been able to escape the country, which is very scary. i encourage everyone to stay at home and not go outside because the situation is really unstable. we went to the airport by ourselves. it was the 1st time we left home in days and it was very unpleasant when you which my child has been crying in the night when they catch at the airport. it was really dreadful. ah, i was going to fly home on the 7th. that error flat canceled the flight and they cancelled all flights till the 22nd, which it was really horrible. we could hear gunshots from our windows all the time . the cars were set on fire. we couldn't reach our relatives abroad. there was no connection. everything shut down when you thank god we had electricity, at least. ah,

is all more than you can reach anywhere from al marty. no hotline was responding. he didn't know if it could be possible, but then we got a cold from moscow and we're told we're on the list for the fights. ah, yeah, to be a blog and i am thankful that the see still have arrived. all of us felt relief then you russians the laura oceans kirby's was becket, tags, all of them responded. ah ah ah ah ah ah

ah ah, with so i move when i was show seemed wrong. when i just don't move any world. yes. to see proud disdain becomes the african and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look so common ground. ah,

i get evening. well in what could be seen as a caustic opener? it had a crucial talks. this with you as secretary of state, antony blink, and his claim body, my po, to wants to restore the old soviet union, and russia has a gun, the lad of ukraine, former defense secretary leon panetta said a few years ago that what he believes drives putin is a desire to restore the old soviet union. you agree? i think that's right. to make actual progress. it's very hard to see that happening when there's an ongoing escalation. when russia has a gun to the head of ukraine, with a 100000 troops nearest borders, the possibility of doubling that on very short order. moscow and washington are currently brought in a diplomatic and political crisis. the u. s. accuses russia of a build up of troops at the boulder of ukraine. moscow in turns pledge to defend the dumbass region if there was a military escalation there. some concern that the u. s. is trying to curb brushes

legitimate activities. yes. to this is of course, the reflection of the general us strategy. they have their national interests in every country. russia can't have it's national interest. but all the while the united states has its national interest all over the world. i have no doubt that the west, as in the case of but a ruth will use the situation. first of all, in terms of propaganda and moscow, ahead of wednesdays talks coming up between russia and nato says it won't come the pressure from washington. it follows reports, the biden administration's working on tough sanctions against russia. if it invades ukraine. russia will not bow to us pressure and will not accept any concessions. the unilateral approach proposed by the u. s. a. nato can't be used as the basis for discussing security guarantees. these high level talks to avoid further escalations over ukraine are set to take place between the united states and russia on monday. but before anyone has even sat down at the negotiating table,

the u. s. is already threatening big economic sanctions. biden's administration says that russia is planning to invade ukraine, even though moscow has time and time again. it is said, it is not planning to do so. so it did sure seems interesting that the white house would say it's going into these negotiations without optimism. while it seems like it's ready to torpedo the negotiations before they even began. we're going into these meetings with a sense of realism, not a sense of optimism. we are willing to see whether or not russia comes to these talks with a spirit of seriousness, willing to discuss these issues in a concrete results oriented way. but you will see the site and you will add them cheer themselves up somehow if you. but now these talks are set to be held on the backdrop of heightening tensions with ukraine. they're also set to take place alongside a proposed treaty by russia for security guarantees between itself and nato. moscow's proposal primarily seeks to stop the for the further eastward expansion of

nato into the former soviet sphere. this is something that russia said it was guaranteed many years ago. back when the former soviet president mikhail gorbachev was in power. however, the us state department has called moscow's proposal a list of non starters and nato officials have also echoed that sentiment saying they will not outright reject any countries that are looking to join the military alliance. so with nato officials in washington, seemingly unwilling to consider russia's terms, it remains to be seen how effective these talks are going to be full append to getting security on this mike maloof told me, blink and statements pay away from moscow to be vilified by the west. once again, well, i think he definitely lay the groundwork for a negative approach. it, many of his allegations are follows a particular narrative that they have to maintain to show that a russia remains the bad guy. just just like they blame russia now for bringing

in troops and the catholics down when it's part of a, of a general military alliance that exists there. these guys just have this problem with the russia. and they want to try and contain moscow from all, from all sides. russia has legitimate spheres of influence in that region. there's no question about it. they got russia, russian ethnic people living in those areas, the same and dom, boston, ukraine. those 2 elements are not unrelated. as far as i'm concerned because it's my belief that like we saw in ukraine in 2014, with the, with the coo from the west, instigated by the west. we're seeing the same thing in catholics down right now. in preparation for these talks, felonies from the week in france, fierce protest corrupted, major cities across the country this weekend and saw clashes with police of a mandatory vaccine passports, another co restrictions to thousands demonstrated nationwide is riot police,

resorting in some cases to buttons and tear gas to try and restore order. ah ah, protestors took to the streets of songs on saturday in the cities of paris. nice. and i've been on to protest against the covert pass. the scenes turned violent with police using tear gas and battens against many of the protesters. a similar throw back to the scenes that we saw in late december. now this is despite the fact that on monday you had as many as 400000 people testing positive for covert in france. it comes as the french president emanuel macklin used vulgar language against

people have chosen to be unvaccinated. his comments were to clyde across the french public and across the political spectrum, and he made them as the national assembly debated a law that would see unvaccinated people being banned from much of public life. it is expected that that law will be introduced in the coming days. this comes as massive protests against covert continue across europe. in vienna, there were fumes and a lot of noise as protest as demonstrated against the vaccination and against covert restrictions. here in germany, in the city of magda burg, thousands of people took to the streets. i . it seems to alignment with the police using tear gas and battens to try and

disperse the crawl. there were scenes of protests in many other cities across the countries, including the capital, the lin at the same time, the german hotel and restaurant association has issued a statement saying that these latest restrictions are a disaster for businesses and have a negative impact, particularly on restaurants. who rely heavily on wilkins and they have urged the government to provide urgent assistance. the beatles are being guided by the natives message from the world health organization stating that although the latest variant only con is less severe than the previous variant of delta, particularly amongst those people who have been vaccinated in no way. can it 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 governments across europe continue to tighten restrictions and introduce mandatory vaccines to try and stop the spread of covered pool as slayer, ending this report, that's the weekly from our 10 to national thanks for checking in this weekend wherever your check in from around the world for a live recap of the news of the last 7 days. and it's been kevin in here for me on the team of very good evening. ah, the what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race move is on often very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful. it's very difficult time time to sit down and talk

with the school is to chose to begin with. each one is a way to assess my william. if he's got those scores out of it, i see what was left. the key mistake with water with a couple of minutes when you was, wasn't that the appointment was for a union that isn't issue. she made it with no, i need not to go put that amount with a female power story with

a with mm. welcome to was the part. it's been 80 years since philosopher eric from identified 2 types of freedom, freedom from to be no one slave. and if we don't to, to be the master of your own faith. while we all idealized the latter achieving, the former, the freedom from use and abuse is no small feat in this day and age, especially for africa, which has been exploited for so many centuries under various pretext. what needs to happen for the continent to truly take its deserve it place in the world. to

discuss that i'm now joined by vice president of liberia jewel hoard taylor. madame vice president is a great honor, great privilege. great, great pleasure for me to talk to thank you very much for allowing us some time. thank you for this opportunity. i'm really truly grateful. now most countries including russia, have their names given to them by history. it's, it was shade by certain chain of historic events, but you represent one of the very few countries in the world that consciously chosen its own name, and they're very meaningful, as well as somewhat controversial name. liberia, the land of freedom. is that still an aspiration, or is it already a reality? well, you know, we were deliberate about the name that we chose. liberia, the land of liberty and freedom were the 1st country on the continent. dead was free. we were not colonized anyway, even though those who came to create liberia had been slaves. but i think the freedom that they sought from which they have been denied for more than 400 years,

definitely played into what they decided to do in the end. so it's no longer an aspiration as it relates to freedom to be the issue that we're dealing with now is economic freedom. how do we now make sure that we use the resources god has given us human natural resources to benefit and encourage our young people to take control of their destinies? we will definitely touch on the economic issues, but i have a few historical questions because i think, you know, the history of your country is fascinating and very timely in a way. i know that liberia was founded by a former african american slaves on the land purchase with the help of the american colonization society, which was an all wide group motivated by the decrease of the number of free slaves in the united states. it was an exclusively race, this proposition without which your country may not have existed. isn't it fascinating to you how an outwardly negative proposition can result in something

good? and that is the way of life. you know, there are opportunities that come our way and depend on what you do without opportunity can become a negative thing or a positive thing. and i'm sure those who took that voyage across the seas, not even being sure where they were going and what would happen. we're glad in the end that they were able to establish such a nation of grays, a nation of history. and i think it's something that is a good story. even though we might have started of as a, as a bad seed, god uses whatever he chooses to make whatever he has made. and i think we are grateful. now he said it was a good story, but it wasn't without its own blemishes. at least on what i've read. the 1st settlers, despite their experience of objectification and exploitation, did do the same thing to the aboriginals and they bought and sold.
