Any chance you can clarify?
It was a usual planned maneuver, which Soyuz performs on 17th orbit in two-day rendezvous profile. It was not related to Japanese debris. It was not DAM. But they saw that after this maneuver at 08:38 UTC there will be close rendezvous with the debris. So they have recalculated many times a probability of collission. And they have seen that debris will be at 4 km distance at the closest rendezvous. No danger at all in terms of ISS program rules.
I believe burn NC-5A on the STS-88 rendezvous with Zarya had a collison avoidance component
You are right, Jonathan, as always.

Noisy, static filled audio is now on the ISS feed which is presumably audio from the Soyuz either from VHF via ground stations or the link via ISS. No translation is being provided.

Composite picture of the full 9 man crew, no way they could have gotten a roster shot in advance this time!
