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 ground. 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. a sweeping anti terrorism operation is still underway in the commercial capital and largest city of cause it's done on monday. it has been the hardest hit in recent days, with writers looting stores and setting fire to government buildings, many of them carrying firearms. the estimated damage is more than $200000000.00.

dozens of people including 3 children and at least 15 police officers have been killed. it is claimed, some of the police were even beheaded with authority. stressing groups of writers were highly organized and used to weigh radios. president, i have responded with an order to shoot suspected terrorists on site video has been circulating online of a man from kit, a guest on who claims he was paid to come to context on to join the riots. security forces, believe he is a terrorist. here is the footage little woo, no songs on january 1st. some strangers called me and offered to participate in the rallied over $200.00 since i'm unemployed in kurdistan. they bought my plane ticket on january 2nd, i flew to l. my t and i was brought to an apartment where there were also citizens of tickets and his 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 and colleagues have identified the man in the video as the crime. no, a jazz musician, they claim that he has been tortured and they don't know his whereabout authorities in his home country have said he is not a terrorist and have sent a protest notes to the embassy. he was reportedly invited to give a concert and almighty before the protest broke out. the crowd gathered at the embassy in the caird youth. capital bas tech, demanding his release. because my son is central ages, biggest republic and shares long borders with russia and china. protests have been driven by long simmering resentment over disparities in wealth with the most violent clashes wrapping and almighty. in the southeast of the country. reporting from there is our correspondent gods. yes. with the details of the destruction that

has been unleashed, that the peaceful protests in kazakhstan caused all that much economic damage. it, it was of the peaceful protest. it was the riots the mayhem and the looting afterwards. that over scott, 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, looting 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 full, easiest pickings. first that his electronic shops, jewelry stores, as well as a d. m. 's. this, for example, was a food shop. not

a lot left aside from a few broken gadgets. shelves were cleared in minnows. 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 pacifica bullshit. i don't want this to be happening. of course it was scary. we stayed home with almost these were not all people. we were all resting after the new year's celebrations were, was some foreigners were doing all this is we were waking up, or people just went out to the square to peacefully protest and then left. and then it all erupted record that there. i heard some kind of running around voices, and 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 level 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. people are afraid. there were different people on the streets. at 1st the protests were peaceful. monday's fishing there still worse, cause it. 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

ah ah ah ah ah, at the now secure airports of almighty evacuations are underway. russians and other nationals that being evacuated abroad charter flights and military cargo planes. they went through can only be described as an ordeal. rational book, and yet it was scary. of course. yes, there was no informational communications. russia helped me along. so, but i'll get back to paris that i have to explain that how bad the situation here is. they don't report it on the news, so 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 now it's a more or less normal situation. thank god. we were waiting for these planes to evacuate us where stockton is with face the crowd that 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 with scary because i was born here and it had seeing all the events that happened in that happening. but everything seems to be getting better when you're sick. i'm more of a hassle. socrates could have put down the rights on their own. but how long would that take? perhaps there would have been even more casualties. all in all about a 100 people are being evacuated on this one military flight. but altogether about a 1000 people have contacted the russian culture and asked 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 into request evacuation. i'm on them for a national. there's no more fighting in alma t, though occasional fire flights are still being reported outside. the city now begins a long process of healing for a population that truly believed nothing like which could happen to them ah, in what could be seen as a caustic opener ahead of that crucial talk this week. your secretary of state anthony blinking has claimed vladimir putin wants to restore the old soviet union, and russia have a gun to the head of ukraine. former defense secretary leon panetta said a few years ago that what he believes drives potent 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. moscow and washington are currently embroiled and diplomatic and political crisis. us accuses russia of a build up of troops at the border of ukraine. moscow in turn, has pledged to defend the dunbar region if there is a military escalation there. some are concerned that the u. s. is trying to curb brushes legitimate activities. yes, this is of course, a reflection of the general us strategy. they have the national interest 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,

ahead of wednesdays talks between russia and nato says it won't succumb to pressure from washington. it follows reports the by the ministration is 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 will to the site and you will lead them. she has themselves up somehow if you, but now will 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 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 rushes terms, it remains to be seen how effective these talks are going to be. former pentagon security analysts, michael maloof, says blinking statements paved the way for 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 follows a particular narrative that they have to maintain to show that russia remains the bad guy just, just like they blame russia now for bringing in troops into cause it's down. one is 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 a qu, from the west. instigated by the west, we're seeing the same thing in catholics down right now. in preparation for these talks. still the come in the program, anger rebels on in europe this weekend over the new coven restrictions being rolled out across the continent. that's still come on the weekly, on our international with ah

ah goodbye dreamer shaped banker senators with dares sinks. we dare to ask

ah, welcome back. this is the weekly on our to international. now in france, fierce protests erupted in major cities across the country. this weekend. many saw clashes with police over mandatory vaccine passports and other covered restrictions . thousands demonstrated nationwide with ryan police, resorting in some cases to baton and tear gas to try and restore order. 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 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 macklin used vulgar language against people have 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 continued across europe in vienna. there were fumes and a lot of noise as protest as demonstrated against the vaccination and against covered restrictions. here in germany, in the city of magda burg, thousands of people took to the streets. however,

ah, that seems to had violent with the police using tear gas and battens to try and disperse the crawl. there were scenes of protests in many other cities across country, including the capital berlin. 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 details are being guided by the latest message from the world health organization stating that although the latest variant only con 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 cronies 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. now when you think of green energy, you may think of solar panels or wind turbines. however, the met a fuel crisis that you now want to include in natural gas and nuclear power. that plan, however, has attracted plenty of criticism with germany, calling it green washing are to show to pinsky, has more on the story a new year and a new spat 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 label in 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 key, destroying the credibility of the european eco labeled for 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 lack on the 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 and 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. i have the support from some austin block nations with slovak as prime minister agreeing that climate neutrality just can't be met without new, clear energy. austria is furious over the plan, saying it will take the commission to court if it moves ahead with them. will

examine the present draft carefully and have already commissioned a legal 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 prod, 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. that 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 price 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 politicians. that run our country a lot focused on the interest of gym and industry in german customers. but that's the hollow, ideological agenda and de paula to audiological agenda. the 1st is that they think they don't need gas because they want to do everything with the nubile update. it's a kind of magic. they believe that they can do that again. as the 2nd audiological

agenda, they follow that there are hard core intro, rushing, one solution to that crying. this could be the approval of the nord stream to pipeline that would supply us directly from russia to germany. however, we've tensions high between the you and moscow. the green light for that project is far from so i've been 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 charlotte, even sky artie. paris or that does it for me with our i will be back with another look at the weekly in just a little bit over 31 minute or 2. ah. join me every thursday on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess on the

world, the politics sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me 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 amber vehicle we acquired through the 1033 program. very free program is a 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 are, i see a terrorism here because it again a feeling that hey, you have to deal with our practice. who are you putting in uniform? got beds is a powerful thing. and sometimes like money in play, tricks and people mind they think they go bad knows the walk is out the door very

bad. johns are coming. good news. you have job security because the world desperately needs what you have to do with me while koch was a part, it's been 80 years since philosopher eric from identified 2 types of freedom. freedom from to be no one's life and freedom 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.
