what has happened here. the blaze has been put out at this point, but still a lot of serious questions are being asked a very serious fire that happened. you know, kia, post them are really sad, and one headline dominated. and the other news of the last week, dozens of people killed during the week of rights and context on the authority say they've rounded up about $6000.00 people and terrorism charges and claim there are many foreigners amongst them. here's how that country started. 2022 ah ah ah.

with a group of unidentified people attack the mere tv and radio studios and l mati. the attackers destroy the tv production complex and workplaces of journalists. dealing with the protesters, ransacked banks and shops. now everything is broken. the money was taken the window smashed, military helmets are lying on the grout. there's lots of rubbish ah

cassock 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. sweeping on to terrorism operations still underway in the commercial capital of the largest city of cuz external marty it, spain. the hardest hits in recent days was riotous looting stores and setting fire to government buildings, with many of them carrying firearms estimate to damages more than $200000000.00. dozens of people including 3 children, and at least 16 police officers have been killed. indeed, it's been claimed, some of the police were even beheaded with authority. stressing groups of rioters were highly organized and used. 2 way radios, president responded with an order than to shoot suspected terrorists on site. and then video has been circulating on line of a man from co, gustavo, who claims he was paid to come to cause it's done to join the riots. security forces, believe is a terrorist,

is the footage it's womb new songs 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 rebecca stan, 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 and colleagues have identified a man in the video is someone called big crum rosa hung off a cook is jazz musician of all things. well, they claim he's being tortured and they don't know his whereabout authorities in the home country confirmed. he was not a terrorist and they sent a protest note to the cause embassy. he was reportedly invited to give a consent to the mercy before the protest broke out. a crowd gathered at the

catholic embassy. bish kept demanding his release because externally central asia's biggest republic, as you can see on the map which has long borders with russia and china, the protest been driven by long simmering resentment over disparities of wealth with the most violent clashes, rupturing, as we said in l. mattie in the south, east of the country, reporting from the next senior correspondent, with details of the destruction that's been unleashed. it had been said to say that the peaceful protests and custom caused all that much economic damage. it, it was of the peaceful protests. it was the riots the mayhem and the looting afterwards that over scant days has caused more than $200000000.00 in damage to the country. mostly here in the city of amity and those are preliminary estimates. the real damage is expected to be much, much more kazakhstan has said repeatedly that it believes this wasn't spontaneous.

it was organized looted with more systematically hitting shopping centers and businesses. at the shopping center, c. c. t. v cameras caught the mayhem in this shopping center and elsewhere. looters of course, went for easiest pickings 1st that his electronic shops, jewelry stores, as well as a t. m. this, for example, was a food shop, not a lot left aside from a few broken gadgets. shelves were cleared in minutes. security could do nothing but watch and police were engaged in fatal fire fights with armed gangs elsewhere. and the looters went to town. there's very little doubt that this was planned because the people that came here and did this, brought the right equipment. it takes a lot to get into cash machines, but they manage to do. it's taking the cash cassette. who is just the local

bullshit. i don't want this to be happening. of course it was scary. we stayed home for almost these were not all people. we were all resting after the new year's celebrations. were some foreigners were doing all this is we were waking up. all people just went out to the square to peacefully protest and then left. and then it all erupted little further that there, i heard some kind of running around voices. so i looked out available, most likely when they knocked out the doors of some shops. there are many electronic stores on the street level on it, and then they got into the car and left. there was no police, which was it is the level of the won't they destroyed everything? people were in danger of being killed. it was scary. it's good that we live far away. it didn't reach us. everything was awful, that there is no street lighting yet, and people are not turning on the lights in their homes. other people are afraid. there were different people on the streets. at 1st the protests were peaceful monday. this is there still worse gazette. what can a pensioner say?

i'm sitting at home. i'm afraid to go out. good. it's good that we have peacekeepers now. it was a terrifying time for civilians. many hidden their homes turning off the lights to avoid attention as gags lay waste to the city of alma t. there was nothing they could do. no, when they could call for help. until the peacekeepers came. ah mm mm. mm mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. mm mm mm. of the now secure airports of almighty evacuations are underway, russians and other nationals that being evacuated abroad, charter flights and military cargo planes. what they went through can only be

described as an ordeal for ash my book. and yet it was scary. of course, there was no informational communications. russia helped me along, so, but i'll get back to paris. i have to explain that how bad the situation here is. they don't report it on the news. france is not organizing anything yet. i do not think, as they say in france, that it is bad that the russians have arrived. this is assistance to the country, the situation, and the citizens of russia. yes, more than that of my how i am more or less normal situation. thank god, we were waiting for these planes to evacuate us, where stockton, with his, with face the crowd, was armed, lived in the hotel next to the square. we saw however, she was burning flash grenades were frown. so it was very scary. almost like scary because i was born here and it had seeing all the events that happened and that happening. but everything seems to be getting better to them is the has akhil, socrates could have put down the rights on their own. and but how long would that

take? perhaps there would have been even more casualties. all and all about a 100 people being evacuated on this one military flight. but altogether about a 1000 people have contacted the russian culture and thus to be evacuated out of our mighty alone, just just one city and they will be evacuated over about 10 or so flood. but authorities have told us that they expect more people to contact the counselors at the request evacuation among them for a national. there's no more fighting in albuquerque though occasional fly flights are still being reported outside. the city now begins a long process of healing for a population that truly believed. nothing like lease could happen to them. ah,

nice because it's a big story coming up and what could be seen as a caustic open? it may be a head, a crucial talks. this week, u. s. secret stayed on to the blanket has claimed, let him a po to wants to restore the old soviet union. russia has a gun to the head 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. do 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. well, moscow, washington, currently abroad, and a diplomatic and political crisis, the u. s. accuses russia of a build up of troops at the border of ukraine. moscow in turn is pledged to defend the dumbass region if it was a military escalation. there, some concern that the u. s is trying to curb, though, russia's legitimate activities. this is, of course,

a reflection of the general us strategy. they have their national interests in every country. russia can't have its 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 roof will use the situation. first of all, in terms of propaganda and moscow, i had a wednesdays talks between russia and nato says it won't come to 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, was by the way to the right and you will lead them. she has themselves up somehow. you know, all these talks are set to be held on the backdrop of heightening tensions with ukraine. they're also set to take place alongside a propos, 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 empower. 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 rushes terms, it remains to be seen how effective these talks are going to be. i spoke to former pentagon security analysts mancha maloof, who had told me blinking statements paves away thinks of 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 of 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 into cause. it's down when it's part of a, of a general military alliance that exists there. these guys just have this problem with 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 a coup from the west. instigated by the west. we're seeing the same thing and cast down right now in preparation for these talks. coming up, anger rumbles on in europe. this we can do with any covered restrictions being rolled that across the continent were across it in the weekly continues with me,

kevin. oh. and after the break 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 of very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk to rob is driven by dream shaped bankers. and those with

tears thinks we dare to ask a dan in france, fears protest erupted in major cities across the country. the weekend and so clashes was police have a mandatory vaccine passports, another cobit restrictions, thousands demonstrated nationwide with right police resulting in some cases to buttons and tear gas to try to restore order. ah ah.

protestors took to the streets of songs on saturday in the cities of paris, nice and of in on to protest against the covert pass. the seems 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 micron used vulgar language against people who've chosen to be unvaccinated. his comments were to cried 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 that seems to had violent with the police using tear gas and batons to try and disperse the crowd. there were scenes of protests in many other cities across the country, 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 omicron is list 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 policy reporting there for us. now, when you think of green energy, amazing is solar panels. or wind turbines, whoever made a fuel crisis. now the,

you want to include natural gas and nuclear power in that list. although the plants attracted plenty of criticism to, with germany colleague green washing show davinsky. good morning, a new year and a new spot is brewing between new members. bickering has erupted with state split over how energy from nuclear and gas source. it should be classed in the future. the new wants to categorize investments in some of these projects as being green, but others argue this is essentially green washing, labeling nuclear energy as sustainable is wrong. this is a high risk technology. it is questionable whether this green washing will find acceptance on the financial market at all. that we think nuclear technology is dangerous. we still think a waste issue. as a result, we expressly reject the assessment on nuclear power under the commissions proposal investment in new nuclear energy facilities should be classified as

a group if they meet certain technical standards. now that's led to accusations that the commission is he destroying the credibility of the european eco label, financial investments with germany leading the charge of nations against these proposals. that could put it in direct collision, of course, with the blocks or that heavy weight. that is france, 70 percent of energy here is generated from nuclear power. so convinced is president black on that nuclear is the way forward. he's announced a 1000000000 euro investment, expanding the industry for gallant yolanda, in order to guarantee france is energy independence to ensure our countries electricity supply and to achieve our objectives in particular carbon neutrality. in 2050 we will for the 1st time in decades, will really launch the construction of nuclear reactors in our country and continue to develop renewable energies. and he has the support from some austin block

nations with slovak, his prime minister agreeing that climate neutrality just can't be met without new, clear energy. but australia is furious over the plan, saying it will take the commission to court. if it moves ahead with them. we will examine the present draft carefully and have already commissioned illegal opinion on nuclear power in the taxonomy in these plans are implemented in this way. we will sue because atomic power is dangerous and not a solution in the fight against the climate crisis. meanwhile, germany is also coming and the pressure over its anti nuclear stance from the czech republic. berlin has just all the clues of haul from germany's remaining nuclear power plants, as part of a plan to withdraw completely from the technology that prague describes that as being a radical step, our government will have to work patiently and hard look for allies in europe and

convince partners finally, it also has to move forward with the construction of nuclear units and to encourage investment in other reasonable renewable sources. that is the way out of the energy crisis. the alternative is under development and poverty, and nobody wants that. all of this comes as europe is in the midst of an energy crisis, with some experts suggesting that according to law, roy, the way until 2023 moved by germany including nuclear. react is also could push up prices even further. and as prices in german neil was twice as high as they could be. there is an energy crisis that the prices of the rising. rising cost means that the industry need more energy and that heating your home becomes expensive. we need cheap, stable energy to politician that run our country a lot focused on the interest of jim and industry in german customers. but that's

the holo ideological agenda and de fuller to audiological agenda. the 1st thing they don't need get because they want to do everything with the nubile. it's a kind of magic. they believe that they can do that again. as a 2nd, audiological agenda and a follower is that there are called core anti russian. one solution to that crisis could be the approval of the nord stream to pipeline that would supply gas directly from russia to germany. however, with tensions high between the e u in moscow, the green light for that project is far from certain, leaving the e u. scrambling to find the money to pay increasing energy bills, while members remain bitterly divided over the future of energy policy. challenge

even sky r t. paris. just for i leave you phenomena recap for a minute. the new york fire we talked about earlier on in the program terrible story, at least 19 people have died and a huge blaze at a high rise bronx apartment block 9 children are among the dead. 63 others been injured with 13, in the critical condition in hospital, it's been labeled new york's deadliest blaze in more than 3 decades. will continue to follow that up her throat the rest of the morning. but for now, thanks for checking without international in the weekly around the big stories of the last 7 days. it's been kevin o in reporting us ever delighted that you checked him while our officers are facing an increasingly dangerous environment. we are seeing a growing debate about so called warrior cops. the term that i've heard in the militarization of police. this is an admirable vehicle. we acquired through the

1033 program and very free program of the government program that follows military property that is no longer use to local law enforcement. we're building an army over here and i can't believe people aren't see 1st thing an agency all look here. yeah. think of terrorism here because it again a feeling that hey, you have to deal with your higher practice, who you putting in a uniform cover bands is a powerful thing. from tab is like money in play tricks and people mind they think they done, the bad knows what was out the door. very bad. johns are common good news. yep. job security is world desperately needs that you have people you know, everybody is concerned about that point being upon the screen. but in fact, there's the only thing out there. there's not a montes game, it's an open source project built by volunteers to try to policy. but there are

a lot of policies out there july, an annual festival in st. petersburg, dedicated to dostoevsky. ah, the great writer, thinker and psychologist, people often turn to his work to understand russia and russians, perhaps even themselves. they put a single movie, it would be asleep on the matting vehicle of wiley theda, changing a rita transforming them as they read. that's a dust i ask is unique ability to stay ascii wants to tell us, you can better yourself. he makes you face your true self serve a wicked man beyond conventions, rules of schemes, beyond boundaries and time. dostoevsky is a global brand whose classics, everyone knows, i'm never out of style. i.
