robin? >> okay, rebecca. going to talk to another legal expert, our chief legal analyst, dan abrams. so what, first of all, dan, do you make of the mixed verdict? >> well, look, i think that this jury clearly deliberated very carefully here over seven days and the verdict kind of makes sense in the sense that they're saying we believe she defrauded investors. we weren't convinced that she defrauded patients. but, look, in the end here, this is a win for prosecutors. you can say, oh, well, you know, there were four counts she wasn't convicted on and three counts where they were hung but in the end, there were four guilty verdicts here which i think is clearly a loss for elizabeth holmes and something that the prosecutors are probably quite pleased about. >> and so how much time could she possibly be facing behind bars? >> look, there is a wide range here. there are federal sentencing guidelines out there. they're just guidelines. at this point they're not mandatory. so you're going to see eac

what does that tell us robin? well, cousin juma took i, it's the president who has moved swiftly to try to it's total authority. he's now head of the security council in kazakhstan, that was the position held by his predecessor until only yesterday, he has invoked the c s t o, the collective str security treaty organization, that the members include russia and other ex soviet states. they call media and tad, you can start, he has, has asked them for help. and just a short while, i was speaking to sources inside the government who confirmed to me that russian troops were already on the ground, that they had crossed the border into actually route in the north west of the country. and that they had also flown in the l mattie. and i said, are they likely to be just keeping a low profile around important installations like airports, etc. he said, no, they would probably also be boots on the ground in, in the city about matching. now we haven't any confirmation of any russian boots on the ground in context on, but this

but robin at that point was insistent. the irony is kissinger brought him around when it came to dealing with the palestinians. he adopted kissinger's gradual step-by-step approach and the ultimate iron. is that way when i include me in this the united states under bill clinton? did not appreciate. kissingers step by step gradual approach so that when eric barack newly elected came to washington. and said to clinton, let's end this conflict in your last year in office and my first year. let's go to camp david. let's take our up there and let's end this country. clinton went for it and his aids did not argue against it. including me we thought we could somehow end the conflict. kissinger would have never gone from would have accepted but arafat was not ready. and therefore to try to push him to it would only lead to a disaster. and and you know i said to him in my last interview with him. did he ever regret? not going for the peace treaty with egypt after all jimmy carter negotiated the israel egypt. peace treaty two years

robin. well, the main, the big issue to have come out of this is that he has, as you mentioned, that talked about an attempted qu, they, and he's promised to give more evidence to the international community that this is really what happens. because obviously there's been a lot of skepticism about the so called 20000 organized terrorists that attempted to take over the country. he says that is indeed why the c s t o military block was called in to provide assistance. 2013 troops confirms now from the csc, the majority of them, russian, on the ground and catholic storm pass. the russia news agency reporting that they have been deployed to strategic senses such as base strategic areas such as bases that military bases and airports. and the ultimately was for these bonded terrorists to take over mattie the, the major city in catholic from the capital asked on 9 regional centers were briefly held by these groups. so this is, this is to cause attempt to, to continue to control the narrative that

robin foster walker is monitoring developments from tbilisi in georgia. join us from robin. how's the presidents warning being received? well, in terms of actually happening now, we're hearing that the heavy gun battles that happened yesterday at overnight have receded somewhat in our math itself. so the brain still sporadic gunfire and explosions, but less then of lake. meanwhile, in other parts of the country and other cities, the protesters are still standing in those squares and areas public areas of the city. so this isn't over yet, but the presidents, very aggressive, stung, doesn't leave much room for, can see the ation, certainly with many protesters who feel like fancy bonds, legitimate that it's time to change and has it. but mailing all of them as a band. it's ad foreign from the terrorists does not look good in terms of the situation resolving itself, piece from the and we are waiting for information to come out, giving us a sense of just how many people have been injured and killed in these fighting because with a base to 18 police personnel and more than 700 co

this is robin 1st here, walker, for insight story. the u. s. is allowing its non essential consulate staff to leave the city of almighty, where the biggest protests took place. secretary of state anthony blink, and added to global calls for calm and question, conduct sounds, decision to ask for russian military help. we were encouraging everyone to find a peaceful resolution and constructive resolution to a situation. when it comes to the cfo, we have questions about the nature of the request. why it came about were seeking to learn more about it. it would seem to me that the contact authorities in government certainly have the capacity to deal appropriately with, with protests, to do so in a way that respects the rights of protestors while maintaining law and order. so it's not clear why they feel the need for any outside assistance. the all right, let's bring in our guests in geneva, top on or rosa, be cover, director of the bullet institute for peace innovations in moscow. maxim such. gov, a specialist on russian policy and foreign affairs a

robin. we've heard about that. death tell reaching at least 164 people. what's been the reaction we were waiting unfortunately for the body count to rise because based on the scale of the fighting in the violence and shooting heavy machine gun fire explosions that went on for hours and hours during the 5th and 6th of january. the numbers surely had to rise. so now we have that unpleasant statistic of $100.00. 64 people dead, according to the health ministry over a 100 of them in marty, where the worst of the violence was in among those killed in maci. sadly, to children, the children's rights commission in cuz it's gone confirming that one of them was an 11 year old child. and to add to that the so called on to terrorism operation is continuing across the country. and we have confirmation now of a more than 5100 people currently in detention. so a very big operation now going on with the government attempting to take control of the situation. robin, the, the, perhaps this wake were as much about the power struggle within the country as it was about the co
