you can hear the sound of shooting and explosions. the family of novak djokovic launch a scathing attack on australia as the tennis player is held in quarantine, fighting deportation from the country. # a kiss is still a kiss... and the award—winning american filmmaker peter bogdanovich has died at the age of 82. hello and welcome to the programme. we started in the us. a candlelit vigil on the steps of the capitol building has marked the end of a day of remembering the first anniversary of the invasion of the us capitol. # god bless america, land that i love. # stand beside her and guide her. # through the night with a light from above. members of congress, including house speaker nancy pelosi and senate majority leader chuck schumer, paid tribute to police officers and officials who had defended the us capitol. they held candles and observed a moment of silence as a band played patriotic music at the steps of the capitol building. #my # my home, sweet home... earlier, president biden said the rioters "held a dagger to the throat of american democracy" and accused them of acting after donald trump spun a web of lies. our north america correspondent aleem maqbool has the story. you'll never take back our country with weakness, you have to show strength. chant: stop the steal! these still staggering scenes were a last—ditch attempt to overturn the election loss of donald trump. chant: fight for trump! his supporters marched the short distance from a rally he'd been holding, to the capitol building, where congress was in session to confirm joe biden�*s win. a protester was shot dead at the doors of the speaker's lobby and the attack went on for hours. four others died, including a police officer. nearly 140 of his security colleagues were injured. a year on, inside the very building that was attacked, a minute's silence was held in remembrance. reporter: mr president, how are you feeling - about the day, sir? joe biden delivered an impassioned speech to mark a day when he said a dagger had been held at the throat of democracy because of lies about the election spread by donald trump. because he sees his own interests as more important than his country's interests, than america's interests, and because his bruised ego matters more to him than our democracy or our constitution. he can't accept he lost. in the weeks that followed the storming of the capitol, hundreds of people were rounded up and charged for their involvement. it's banana republic stuff when political prisoners are arrested and denied due process. fast forward, and some republicans now refer to those arrested as political prisoners. joe kent's running for congress this year on a platform that the election was stolen. he's been endorsed by donald trump, in a battle against the party establishment. make no mistake, there is a civil war going on right now in the republican party for the direction of the republican party. i guess i believe the america first, the president trump movement, that we have the vast majority of the country and of the republican party. you don't think that some people would have looked to the events of january 6 and thought, "actually, i don't want to be a part of that"? i think initially, there was a lot of people that did, and i think a lot of those folks now regret that. the mob was fed lies. they were provoked by the president and other powerful people. and in the days after the storming of the capitol, senior republicans condemned the attack, but when it came to action, the vast majority of republicans voted not to impeach and convict donald trump for incitement. he is not guilty as charged, the article of impeachment. for all the condemnation he's received in the last year over his involvement in those violent events, donald trump still enjoys the support of millions of americans, and in his party, it is those voices that continue to drown out the criticism. aleem maqbool, bbc news, in washington. we will have more from the us later in the programme. let's get some of the day's other news. thousands of people have taken to the streets in the sudanese capital, khartoum, to protest against military rule. security services have fired tear gas at demonstrators near the presidential palace. it's the first organised protest since the resignation of the prime minister on sunday. doctors aligned with the protest movement say three people were shot dead in demonstrations in several cities. britain's ministry of defence has confirmed that a russian submarine collided with the sonar trailed by a royal navy warship while it was on patrol in the north atlantic. the incident occurred in the winter of 2020 and has only come to light now because a tv crew captured the moment the collision happened. a study has found that the number of adults suffering from dementia worldwide could nearly triple by the middle of the century. the research, published in the british medicaljournal, the lancet, says older and growing populations are the main drivers behind the increase. but higher rates of obesity, smoking and diabetes are also majorfactors. there've been more violent clashes between security forces and anti—government protesters in kazakhstan�*s largest city, almaty, which have continued into the night. it isn't clear how many demonstrators have been killed or injured in the latest disturbances. but government officials say 18 members of the security forces have died and more than 2,000 people have been detained. russian troops have arrived in the country after a request for help from kazakhstan�*s president. 0ur correspondent, abdujalil abdurasulov, sent this report from almaty. this is the aftermath of the mass unrest — violent clashes between riot police and protesters turned what used to be almaty�*s bustling square into a war zone. sparked by a hike of fuel prices, the roots of the protest movement go deep into the corrupt authoritarian system. and the turmoil continues. the armyjoined riot police to disperse the crowd. the number of casualties is rising. at night, the stand—off grows particularly violent. stun grenades, rubber bullets and reportedly live rounds have been used to crack down on the protest. the clashes are taking place just a few hundred metres away from where i'm standing now. you can hear the sound of shooting and explosions, and judging by that sound, a real battle is going on the main square of almaty. we saw several armoured personnel carriers moving towards the square where a small group of protesters had gathered. in response to the violence, the kazakh authorities have appealed to russia—led regional security organisation, csto, to send troops to restore order. according to kazakhstan�*s president, the country is facing an external aggression. translation: given that these terrorist gangs - are international and have received extensive training abroad, their attack on kazakhstan can and should be considered an act of aggression. protesters claim that their movement was peaceful and blamed the authorities for provoking the violence. translation: when the president said i he's at war with thugs, he called us thugs, terrorists. we're neither thugs, nor terrorists — we participate in rallies. when he said that, i was deeply disappointed. the events in kazakhstan are now quickly turning into a geopolitical crisis, as russia has sent its peacekeeping forces. these can help to stop the violence, but the public discontent that fuelled the protests is likely to remain. abdujalil abdurasulov, bbc news, almaty. i'm joined now by gavin helf from the us institute of peace in washington. thank you very much for coming on the programme.— on the programme. great to be here. on the programme. great to be here- we _ on the programme. great to be here- we saw _ on the programme. great to be here. we saw in _ on the programme. great to be here. we saw in that _ on the programme. great to be here. we saw in that report -

forward? in many ways up till now kazakhstan has been - now kazakhstan has been something of a posted child for authoritarianism and a model of authoritarianism and a model of a successful state. in the past they have been able to take protests that are local in origin or very specific and kind of buy them off. what has really been different this time is just how widespread in geography they are and kind of the lack of focus. up until wednesday, these very much looks like the kinds of protests that you would expect post covid when people are dissatisfied with corruption and price hikes and the government treated them that way. they were trying to buy off or find scapegoats for these things. it really changed on wednesday. suddenly we saw both in the crowds a focus really on the first president, we saw the current president make an effort to put the blame on the other president, so i think the russians are in media and some politicians are blaming this on outside islamist �*s and well—trained islamic terrorists. some will blame it on opposition forces abroad, but i think what we might be looking at is in addition to a people power revolt, different kinds of forces trying to exploit what is going on, and i think we may also be seeing a real collapse of the planned transition that they had in place, saying that falling apart in real time as well. ., ., , well. you mentioned rusher there. what _ well. you mentioned rusher there. what exactly -

programme. thank you for having me. now this is a story that is - me. now this is a story that is grabbed worldwide attention now with repercussions for different tournaments in different tournaments in different sports and people talking about it all across the globe. but at its height there is a complicated bit that i wonder if you could sort out here for us across federal—state political structure of australia. we have a medical exemption that was given and approved, we think, by the tennis authorities and that did not then match up with other authorities when it comes to visas and entry into the country. are we any clearer about what has actually gone on? it is a confusing situation and i can understand, particularly for people in britain how it may be even more confusing given that a country like england does not have a state government. we, similar to america, we have a federation where there is a national government, the australian commonwealth government who manage the borders and then there are states and some governments like victoria, which also has its own public health rules and public health responsibility. and a level of control over pandemic management. so the victorian government along with tennis australian set up two channels to assess medical exemptions for unvaccinated australian open players and officials who wanted to play in the tournament who are not vaccinated. those two panels approved an exemption for novak djokovic to play in the australian open on the basis that he had sufficient evidence to prove that he had had covid in the last six months and therefore did not need to be vaccinated because he was, to a level, immune. now whetheryou should cropped up was that when he wanted to enter australia at melbourne airport, the federal border force officials applied their own tests as to whether he sufficed the criteria for exemption and that process is separate to the two victorian panels which allowed him to play tennis tournament. those processes and applications and those successful applications did not allow him entry into the country. so when the federal border force officials applied their own test to these exemptions once he arrived with the documentation he provided, they reached a different outcome. a, he did not have enough documentation to prove he had a covid infection but, separate to that, there was also a view that having covid in the past six months was not a sufficient reason to actually grant an exemption, even if the documentation did sufficed. that was such a thorough and clear explanation. thank you so much. i think i have it now and i have all the details. away from the technicalities, politics and politicians, some have been accused in australia now of grandstanding and of using this for political motives. what you make of that? the reason that that view has leaked is because probably about ten hours before djokovic touched down, the victorian government officials announced that he had received an exemption from the victorian government and tennis australia to play in the tournament. the prime minister, the national prime minister, the national prime minister, the national prime minister scott morrison was asked in a press conference whether that exemption was valid and whether he would enter the country. morrison at that point said it was the victorian government decision and if they granted him the exemption then it is what it is and he clearly has sufficient proof and that is a matter for the victorian government. just a few hours after the press conference minister, the home affairs minister, the interior minister i think is the british version of that, the minister put out a statement saying that exemptions will be granted by the commonwealth at the border and if sufficient evidence is not produced they will be happy to turn him back. so the line from the federal government changed from putting the ball in the court of the victorian government to just a few hours later a very hard—line stance that the federal government would apply its own tough policies and then later on when djokovic did land it was clear that the board officials did apply that very tough policy. so tennis australia officials, the most senior tennis australia officials are absolutely furious a private in the —— at the federal government and they believe there was a political element to the decision.— to the decision. and these re orts to the decision. and these reports that _ to the decision. and these reports that australian - to the decision. and these - reports that australian border force are now investigating two other individuals who have been issued medical exemptions. can you tell us anything about that? , , ., ., . you tell us anything about that? , ., . ., that? this is another source of tennis australia's _ that? this is another source of tennis australia's deep - tennis australia's deep frustration. there was another player and another official who in the days before djokovic arrived, arrived into australia using the same medical exemption. so tennis australia is wondering how they got in on the same exact tension that djokovic got blocked on. what a force officials now say they will review those cases again and i tell you that the border force officials arrived at one of our main hotels in victoria last night, the crown casino hotel, just to search for this player and i am not sure if they actually found him or her. we don't know who it is. it may be the case that those two were allowed into the country erroneously or maybe they had the additional documentation to prove their case the djokovic did not have. but those two, they are officially being investigated.— they are officially being investiuated. �* , , , investigated. and, 'ust briefly finall . investigated. and, 'ust briefly finally. we h investigated. and, 'ust briefly finally. we know _ investigated. and, just briefly finally. we know where -

question to answer at this point because we have not heard the arguments from the lawyers yet. the only parts of the hearing we have had havejust been administrative and talking about the timeline but it a principle level it is very difficult to see a prospect for a noncitizen to defeat a national government in a court in the country of the government when the subject matter is that government's application of its own border laws. that is very difficult just on the principle, on a first principle is level to see a way in which he wins but, as i say, we're yet to hear the arguments from the lawyer and it is difficult to say how it will pan out.— will pan out. absolutely fascinating. _ will pan out. absolutely fascinating. so -
