a government mandates to exclude the unvaccinated from public places, conversation is complicated, it can't be easy, but in principle it's business like i think we won't waste time, never lose her. on russia, in the u. s. prepared to kick off crucial security. talk this week amid escalating tensions over nato's east expansion and those ongoing allegations of a russian invasion of ukraine. ah. hello, good abbey. where this is just turn 10 in the morning on monday. welcome to a new week here on our t international line, calling bright 1st such update you on the catholic star where the government says the vital protest over the past week were part of a coordinated terrorist attack designed to overthrow the countries leadership authorities now say they've rounded up about 8000 people on terrorism charges that are on substantial number of foreigners among them. ah,

sweeping out it's our operations underway and cassock stands, commercial, capital, added, largest city. i'll mattie, which has borne the brunt of the violence. here is some of that aftermath. riotous, have been looting, stalls and torching government buildings. many of them reportedly carrying firearms to dozens of people have been killed over the past week, including 16 police officers and reclaims that some of them were the headed cassock . officials also say 3 children have been killed by gunfire. on security, video from shopping mal obtained par correspondent there shows looters, destroying glass counters, snatching anything valuable. overall damage in the country is estimated right now, being more than $200000000.00 reporting from our mattie. his, our senior correspondent broadcast the if it be unfair to say that the peaceful buddhists in kazakhstan caused to all that much economic damage. it, it was of the peaceful protest that 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 these wasn't spontaneous . it was organized, looting with more systematically hitting shopping centers and businesses at the shopping center. cctv cameras caught the mayhem in this shopping center and elsewhere. looters, of course, when 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 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 plaid 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 poses the po, 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. were 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 legal curve or the got there. i heard some kind of running around voices. so i looked out an album, 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 in the lobby. well, they destroyed everything. people were in danger of being killed. you know,

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. again. this is there still worse, cuz it 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 hidden 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, ah, at the now secure airports of alma t 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. thrash my book and yet it was scary. of course, there was no information or communications and i'll get back to paris. i have to explain their how bad the situation here is. they don't report it on the news. france is not organizing anything yet, but 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 now it's a more or less normal situation. thank god. we were waiting for these planes to evacuate us where stockton, what was it that was faced a 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. it's scary because i was born here and it hurt seeing all the events that happened and are happening. but everything seems to be getting better. the most mechanical, 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 and all about a 100 people are being evacuated on this one military flight. but altogether about a 1000 people have contacted the russian consulate and asked to be evacuated out of alma d 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 or just a reminder where we're talking about has extended across a vast country in central ages. biggest republic, it shares lengthy, bold as to,

with both russia and china. the protest initially began in response to rising energy prices, but they quickly devolved into riots, culminating in the larger city al mattie me, while, as you saw broad talking about earlier, there russia's evacuated more than a 1000 of its nationals from kazakhstan. after many commercial flights, the council, they included, people have been visiting relatives for the holidays as well as tourists and some professional athletes to here's what some of them had to say. yeah, we didn't go outside. it was scary. we're very glad to have the opportunity to fly out were extremely grateful. and of course there was the feeling that people cared . i was very glad that everything turned out like this. yes, the question, but there is a feeling of gratitude and the feeling that it took a small miracle to get out of the country when all fights were cancelled. and it wasn't clear how we would get out the rush through on january the 4th. she turned 17 years old. and on the 4th, we had a strong sense of foreboding. in the morning when we woke, there was no internet to any of a connection. it was the strangest feeling,

not being able to call any one. no one could contact anyone, no one knew anything. as a triple escalated, text on ask for help from neighboring allies to the store in order. more than 3000 peacekeepers from the multinational siesta military alliance arrived from russia. ruth armenia had you kissed on congress down the state admission to secure vital infrastructure, while the local vote enforcement deals with the biases of the leaders of the c. s t o. nations holding an online meeting right now discussing the rest, president putin is to give his address a little bit lighter over broadcast to live later in the program. other also c s t, a peacekeeping station to the city of bike. and oh, which is the location of the cosmo. dr. web russian launch is rockets to the international space station. if i were to say the city has been secured, but the terror threat level has been stepped up for the time being on the should his new didn't of no incidents were registered in bacon or security has been strengthened for the 2nd day. for now, it is enough. our police are fully staffed,

they protect not only they, city and our safety, but also the bacon or cost me drone. everything is good, the situation is under control. like all citizens, we waited for the c s t o soldiers to arrive. the troops are at different points in the city now. and about half an hour ago, reinforcements for the police arrived. citizens have waited long for the russian soldiers. they are a symbol of order insecurity. catholic sounds have held its decision to request assistance from its allies, including russia, with the catholic foreign minister, praising the peacekeepers for preserving the countries territorial integrity. washington though, wants to know why those foreign troops are really in catholics down. because we have real questions about why it was necessary to call this organization that russia leads. and as a part of these ought to be things that the government, because extent can handle on its own and handle and rights respecting. why? because the u. s. has a track record of military interventions into countries in which it wasn't invited,

but still america's top diplomat claims that the me a put in the real goal is to restore the old soviet union. a former pentagon security analyst michael believe, says the remarks for a long time with the narrative to try and vilify russia. well, i think he definitely lay the groundwork for a negative approach. it, many of his allegations are follows, or 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 cars. it's down. one is part of a, of a general military alliance that exists there. are 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 their regions. 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 him 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 on to our other headline news, there have been fears, protested major cities across europe over tightening kobe restrictions. 5000 turned out in brussels on sunday. dozens were arrested. the belgian health ministers recently called for tougher rules to contain a recent spike in infections. or several, you nations witness a weekend to protest against vaccine passports, which effectively ban unvaccinated people from public spaces fall asleep has more on how the restrictions are causing a rift in european society. europe is tightening its grip over the and vax in a desperate attempt to curb rising cove at rates here in germany to vax are no longer enough to enter

a bol restaurant. you now need an additional booster shot or proof of a negative pcr. while in france, the bill is likely soon to be introduced that will replace the current health pass with a so called vaccine pass. only those who recently recovered all who have been fully vaccinated will be able to enter public spaces. no longer will a negative pcr or anti gen taste. suffice. the move prompted mess protests in france. 4 times the size they were last month. and germany over the weekend. ah, ah ah,

the crowds in france chanted a reference to president microns recent controversial comments. the unvaccinated, i really want to them off and we'll carry on doing this to the end of october. this whole vaccine pass stories completely stupid from a scientific point of view. and from a principle point of view, it is shameful. and the way macaroni spoke to the french insulted them. i will not reproduce his words because i do not speak like that. it is on us because these people are citizens. i would like the president to be much more vindictive with thugs, than with these people who have just made a choice. this, yes, this is the 1st time in my life that i have protested and demonstrate above all to defend our freedoms as french people as citizens of many. meanwhile, here in germany, the mainstream media brands, those who oppose the measures as covet idiots and conspiracy theorists. many politicians are on board with making shots compulsory to they've labeled the antique vax movement, a tiny minority with extremist views. we have and we will not tolerate that the

tiny, reckless minority of extremists will impose their will on the whole of society. but those beating out against the restrictions have shot back. people blame the government and the media for polarizing the society. i am here today because i see division in society and i see that is very bad. i see people were groups of people being excluded. we had this before and we must not have it again. that's why i am here as a clear sign that it must not be like this and that our fundamental rights continue to carry way, freedom of speech, and also freedom, a free decision for these reasons. i am here to day. oh, i think it's absolutely terrible. what's going on here in this country at the moment i would have not dreamed it. i simply would never have imagined that something like this could ever occur in this country. it's thank it us and for i think it's just a public problem because i believe that vaccinated and unvaccinated people should not fight with each other. they should accept and respect each other and not take

measures against each other, inviting only with no end to the restrictions in sight. it's likely the protests across europe will only grow in size. along with the ango. on both sides of the vaccination debate policy a r t, berlin, while protest spring up across europe, the battle to contain cope. it goes on that italy's particularly sensitive to taking rapid measures of the being one of the hardest, had countries in the early months of the pandemic. and a recent brief spike has seen the country go further. now being one of the few countries to mandate everyone over the age of 50 to get vaccinated. as the irma chrome very pushes italian hospitals, the breaking point ah, sci fi, novel ma, situations, critical drive and ambulance. we have been in line for several hours because

there's no room at the hospitals. we can stop for 4 hours. we can't even go to the bathroom for all waiting and there's no room to enter at the altar. and that is he, we're under a lot of pressure, so we've set up tents next to a hospitals for more space. we're also working hard to leave all this pressure. many covered patients are coming to our hospital and were really very tired. were looking for beds to provide for everyone, but it's becoming a fragile situation. mm. ah. mm . are so i can't really understand why people don't want to get vaccinated. i see many people who enter our ambulances and then they return home because they die and

leave without seeing their relatives of children. the situation is worry, this new variance is very dangerous. i'm out in the field. every day. i see people getting sick and die. ah ah here within the past hour, well, number one, men's tennis play, no back joke of it. she's been released from an immigration detention center in australia after a court of held the serbian stars kobe vaccine exemption and rejected the government's decision to detain him. a joke of it's had claimed that since he had recently recovered from a covert infection, he was entitled to a medical exemption. still possible that australia's immigration minister will personally intervene in this. but for now, jock of it is free to compete in the australian open, where he's looking to win his 21st grand slam title ah, top russian and

u. s. officials held a working dinner on sunday ahead of security negotiations, which kick off late this monday. and despite some comparative comments, being ed in recent days, moscow opinions optimistic amazing notice over the conversation is complicated, it can't be easy. but in principle, as business like, i think we won't waste time. i never lose my optimism and talk to kick off in geneva, mocking a week of negotiations between representatives of russia, the u. s. and the to the organization for security and cooperation in europe. and there is a lot at stake with some very 10 negotiations ahead. over the next few days, the u. s. is heading into these talks already saying that it's talked about and thought about potential sanctions against russia. if russia invades ukraine and accusation, but the u. s. is labeled against it, russia has denied that consistently. so what,

so the sanctions are we talking about? the u. s. says they severe, it says that there will be sanctions on energy goods on consumer products and also on the baton on exports of advanced electronic components as well as software. and that coming out from the u. s. is led to huge disappointment already from the russian side. russia will not bow to you as 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. one of the big meeting issues that they will be discussing is the former soviet union country of ukraine, particularly the issues in the crisis. it's been ongoing now for many years in the east of ukraine. now the u. s. and need to accuse rush over the last few months of building up its troops on the board of ukraine. it says that an invasion of ukraine by russia is imminent. as soon as the snow melts,

that is something that russia has denied consistently in moscow says how it moves its troops within its own borders is something that solely for moscow to decide. now, this also was original dismay, so of those claims by the ukrainian defense minister back in november, who said that he had seen no evidence of that increase in troops. however, since then ukraine has changed its mind. now kiev has made no bones about his intention to join nato. it is something that he's been asking for many years, and that is a red line from moscow that is unhappy and an easy with the expanding nato alliance, particularly in soviet union, the former countries of the soviet union. but despite those protestations from moscow that has fallen on deaf is all, i also sent a very clear message that will not compromise on core principles, including the right for every nation to decide on path,

including what kind of security arrangements wants to be. part of i got certainly part of the playbook i is to put out a list of absolutely nonstarter the man's and then to claim that the other side is not engaging. and then to use that is somehow justification for aggressive action. russia has several other demons, too. as part of these negotiations throughout the week, the particularly relate to fruit deployment from nato, and also weapon deployment. now, despite the fact that the u. s. is said is entering these tools and it will look at some of those requests from russia, essentially, other ones like me to allowing ukraine to send the alliance all off the table. both sides are going to have to wait to very deep booter and do so very, very carefully in order to keep the peace solid people skiing. our t. geneva. ok, well let's see if they can expect

a corner to be turned this week. live now to form a un assistant secretary general hands christoph font spun act. welcome to i'll take good. have you with us? i mentioned earlier that less formal meeting between the u. s. and russia on sunday evening and a member of the russian contingent making some very optimistic signals about what's ahead this week. do you expect them to find common ground over these crucial sticking points? well, let me, let me begin looking at it from a slightly different in the world. we all are at the moment fighting the corona virus, but we are fighting at the same time. another virus. it's a political virus. and a virus that is more dangerous for global well be to give an interview to you with the conclusion that the

political virus is most likely. i don't say this likely originating in a u. s. laboratory. people will come and immediately say this is. ready preposterous, that's ridiculous. here is a lame footed fool going public. ah, he's a victim of russian propaganda. he does not understand at all the issues. and i would respond by saying, let it be, let it be. but i humbly ask, don't feed the public with speculations with conjectures, give them facts as a pre condition. and for people many people here in europe to reassess

that their position, mis, mister, on spanish. i've given what we know. and if you've kind of alluded to that, what is said for public consumption on both sides isn't the same as what goes on behind closed doors. but both sides say they're going to refuse to compromise, but they're still pushing for a diplomatic solution of those 2 things. same, mutually exclusive thing. yes. and one can only hope that this important meeting and important is between wendy sherman and a cough today in geneva. to me it's a belated follow up to the bay biden, $210.00 meeting of june last last year, which said it set a stage for progress and progress. there must be

a we must have to identify. both delegations must be willing to identify the ingredients for this political vaccine that is needed. and of course, it's not just geneva genevas, it's one brick in a much larger attempt to re create conditions where we view with each other in a civilized way where countries can really find constructive solutions. that will be booster opportunities. in the finally, the nato, russia council will meet again. there's the o s e meeting and under utilized facility for sure. and hopefully there will be this promised 2nd face to face meeting between the present and present biden. yes, the objective of all that, let me add this. the objective has to be

a de escalation of global insecurity. not secure in secure. we have to de escalate and avoid something which neither you neither side wants. and i would say it's people leaders not just in moscow and washing leaders everywhere in the east, in the north, in the south. west. ok must realize let me finish that one second much must realize that citizens normally see this. i'm a normal citizen. our tires are, are tired with this confrontation that we come across every single day in our news. yet certainly, let's hope that 2022 can see a chapter change for our sakes. for now though, for me, given assistant secretary general has crystal forms want to really appreciate your time here on see the

next new york city's deadliest apartment building fire in 3 decades with 19 people including 9 children killed in ablaze in a high rise in the bronx. artes caleb morphin reports from the same on the west coast by a full electric heater ripped through the 19 story building about 200 firefighters was sent in to the blaze. the man has been talking about the tremendous tragedy inflicted on the city. so i'm walking around here near where this fire happened, this, this building behind me that you can see that it's just been totally burned out. 19 people, dad, 9 of them shoulder and, and this is, this is a serious situation. we have the mayor of new york city, eric adams, calling this the most serious fire in modern new york city history. now there was

a huge mobilization of the new york city fire department over 200 firefighters were mobilized. as you can see, this is a fire truck here behind me, you know, and they're still on the scene in front of the building. we have like kind of a mobilization of people in hazmat suits to clean out the wreckage that has happened. it's a very serious situation. 19 people are dead. 13 remain in critical condition. the new york city police department is on the scene. questions are being asked. this is the 2nd fire that we've seen just this weekend. there was a very serious fire that happened on saturday as well. quite, quite a scene here. still a lot of law enforcement on the seeing a lot of fire department officials, a lot of media here to cover this. the whole community is kind of shocked to see 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. we got more artsy programs on the way for you in the next couple of minutes,

but we're also waiting for the russian president to address the summit of the c s t o military alliance. that meeting is underway now. it's a virtual meeting when mister putin addresses the gathering will bring it to you live here on arte in fact, i think he's about to start speaking to the summit. now the c s t or security council meeting. no, he's not, not just yet. so we'll go to our next program. we'll cut back life when that starts . oh, i use join me every thursday. i'm alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me.
