ah ah. with a group of unidentified people attacked the mere tv and radio studios in el monte. the attackers destroyed the tv production complex and workplaces of journalists. dealing with

the protestors 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. a sweeping anti terrorism operation is still underway in the commercial capital and large city of covets done alma t. it has been the hardest hit in recent days with writers, looting stores and setting fire to government buildings, many of them carrying firearms as well. yes, to made a damn, which is more than $200000000.00. dozens of people including 3 children and at

least 16 police officers have been killed. it is claim to some of the police were even beheaded with authorities. stressing groups of writers were highly organized and even used. 2 way radios president kayak responded with an order to shoot suspected terrorists on site. the video has been circulating on line of a man from kit, a guest on who claimed he was paid to come to cause extend to join the riots. security forces, believe he is a terrorist. here is the footage. it'll slow no. soon as 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 my plane ticket on january 2nd, i flew to my seat and i was brought to an apartment where there were also citizens of tickets and his biggest then 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. now meanwhile, relative friends and colleagues have identified the men in the video as the from rosa moon of a kid. he's jazz musician may claim that he is being tortured and they don't know his whereabouts. authorities in his home country have said he is not a terrorist and have sent a protest note to the cause of embassy. he was reportedly invited to give a concert in almighty before the protest broke out, the crowd gathered as the conflict embassy and the caregiver on the capital. this kept demanding his release. and public san is central asia's biggest republic, and shares long borders with russia and china. the protests have been driven by long simmering resentment over disparities and wealth with the most violent clashes erupting in almighty in the south, east of the country, reporting from there. here's our correspondent, what guns do you have with the details of the destruction that has been unleashed?

it had been said to say that the peaceful protests in kazakhstan caused all that much economic damage. it, it wasn't the peaceful protests. it was the riots the mayhem and the looting afterwards. that of a 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, looting with more systematically hitting shopping centers and businesses. at this shopping center, cctv 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 atm. 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 plant 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. push the stucco. bullshit. i don't want this to be happening. of course it was scary. we stayed home with almost these were not our people. we were all resting after the new year's celebrations, where some foreigners were doing all this is we were waking up. people just went out to the square to peacefully protest and then left, and then it all ruptured. but i heard some kind of running around voices, so i looked out and most likely they knocked out the doors of some shops. there are

many electronic stores on the street level, and then they got into the car and left. there was no police which was in the lobby . 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. the people are afraid. there were different people on the streets. at 1st the protests were peaceful. he shouldn't have sobers. cosette what can a pensioner say? i'm sitting at home. i'm afraid to go out. it's good that we have peacekeepers now . it was a terrifying time for civilians. many hid in their homes, turning off the lights to avoid attention as gangs 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 airport of almighty evacuations are underway. russians and other nationals are being evacuated abroad, charter flights and military cargo planes. what they went through can only be described as an ordeal for rational work. and yet it was scary. of course, there was no informational communications. russia helped me a lot, 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. 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, boy, you know, it's a more or less normal situation. thank god. we were waiting for these planes to evacuate us. where stockton, with his was, it was faced a crowd that was armed. we'll leave in hotel next to the square. we saw however, she was burning flash grenades were frown. so it was very scary. it's scary because i was born here and it has 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 multi 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 among 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 this could happen to them ah, in what could be seen as a caustic opener ahead of crucial talks this week. you a secretary of state anthony, blinking has claimed vladimir putin wants to restore the old soviet union, and russia has 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 near its borders, the possibility of doubling that on very short orders. moscow and washington are currently embroiled in a diplomatic and political crisis. the u. s. accuses russia of a build up of troops at the border of ukraine. moscow in turn, has pledged to defend the dumbass region if there is a military escalation there. some are concerned that the u. s. is trying to curb russia's legitimate activities. yes. to 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 have wednesdays talks between russia and nato says it will not succumb to pressure from washington. it follows reports the by the administration 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 way to the right. and you will let them, she themselves up somehow, if you 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 russia's terms, it remains to be seen how effective these talks are going to be. former pentagon security analyst, michael beloved, says blinking statements paved the way for moscow to be vilified by the west once again. but 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 a russia remains the bad guy just just like they blame russia now for bringing in troops into catholics, 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 qu, from the west. instigated by the west. we're seeing the same thing and cause it's down right now in preparation for these talks. still the come on, the weekly anger rumbles on in europe this weekend over the new covered restrictions being rolled out across the continent. that's still to come to weekly, stay with us. oh, is your media a reflection of reality?

in the world transformed? what will make you feel safer? high selection community. are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere? which direction? what is true? what is great in the world corrupted. you need to descend a join us in the depths will remain in the shallows. join me every thursday on the alex solomon, sure. but i'll be speaking to guess with the world politics. sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then ah,

welcome back. this is the weekly on our team 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 ah. the protestors took to the streets of songs on saturday in the cities of paris. nice and of you non, to protest against the covert pass. the scenes turn 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 clyde across the fringe, 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 their call 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 lined 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 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 needs are being guided by the latest message from the world health organization stating that although the latest variant, omi called 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, omicron 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 government across europe continue to tighten restrictions and introduce mandatory vaccines to try and stop the spread of covered. when you think of green energy, you may think of solar panels or wind turbines. that is to be expected. however, amid a fuel crisis that you now want to include natural gas and nuclear power. that plan, however, has attracted plenty of criticism with germany, calling it green washing. what you showed belsky has more of the story a new year and a new spat is brewing between new members. bickering has a rapid with state split over how energy from nuclear and gas sources should be classed in the future. you want to categorize investments in some of these projects

as being green, but others argue this is essentially green washing. label, 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 the waste issue is resolved. we expressly reject the assessment on nuclear power under the commissions proposal investment, the new nuclear energy facilities should be classified as a group if they meet certain technical standards. now that lead to occupations that the commission is he destroying the credibility of the european eco label for financial investment with germany leading the charge of nations against these proposals, but could put it in direct collision. of course, with the blocks of the heavy weight that is france,

70 percent of energy here is generated from nuclear power. so convinces president michael and nuclear is a way forward. he's financed a 1000000000 euro investment. expanding the industry will go home in order to guarantee france, his 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 realize the construction of nuclear reactors in our country and continued to develop renewable energies on the house. the support from some eastern block nations with slovak is prime minister agreeing that climate neutrality just called be met without clear energy. but australia is furious over the plan, saying it will take the commission to court. if it moves ahead with them, i 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. 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 the crunch will last roy away until 2023.

that move 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 german industry in german customers. but that's the hello id, logical 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. you can as the 2nd ideological agenda and

a caller id that they are off 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 $31.00 and a half minutes. that's when i will be back with another look at your weekly. this is arch international web with blue. ah. you know,

everybody is concerned about that coin being upon his game, but in fact, it's the only thing out there. there's not upon his name, it's an open source project built by volunteers. it's financing, but there are a lot of policies out there. ah ah, this isn't an orphanage or even so, since you children have been kid for a defendant's house, it's become a sanctuary for anyone who needs help a lot on there with

sonya was abandoned by her mother. it was crucial to find her new family before child protection services took her. i can book, i'm in the study, please help me with why you were so we should just stay with what you thought which is on on before i do much with

.
