strict national security law has been found guilty of inciting secession and terrorism. also, japan's prime minister urges people to stay at home after a record number of virus infections and elliptic city. and at least one person has died and more than a dozen the injured explosion at the industrial park and the western german city of live acute ah welcome to on to this, he is biggest political party is calling for efforts to avoid civil strife. after a day of upheaval, it's not urging supporters to stay off the streets and wants a national dialogue on the crisis. this comes after accused the president of the coo, for dismissing the prime minister and freezing parliament for a month lower. but manly begins all coverage. calm on the streets of tunis,

a stark contrast to days of protests. many have not dared to face the army and security forces, which you now patrolling the streets and an easiest parliament. the country, the biggest political group, the enact a party has caught the dialogue and accused the president of a qu. we reject the uncle juice, no announcements, and we welcome all the rejections that have come from news of the political party as well as some of the organizations. and we call the changes in people to the com and vigilant, and you ready to defend the democracy. the many came to the streets in celebration and outrage at president ty sides both move firing the prime minister and freezing the parliament for the president said says the decision was taken

after following the process laid out in the constitution. nothing to supper. i have taken responsibility, i am taking a historic responsibility. even those who claim this matter is related to a need to revise the lessons in the constitution to present side who controls the armed forces. made a storm warning against any one taking up arms saying the biggest danger a nation can face is internal explosion. the dismiss prime minister, his sham, the, she, she says he will not be a disruptive element. he will hand power to whoever the president chooses. like this, like that you need to read the parliament is also divided today between the majority leading parties in department like and doing this and who elation will cold and describe the decision of president christ. i've constitutional dictatorships who are again, he said this decision, you need his democracy,

leaving it biggest. today, there were also fears of a crack town on the freedom of press. after security forces stormed al jazeera, the buildings, it's a move out there has strongly condemned. the president's move had fully must protest with much of the anger direct. is it the enough to party for the handling of the economy and a raging pandemic? of this fear, it's an unconstitutional power grabbed that could lead to a dictatorship, a move that would see the end, the jasmine revolution, the paid the way to a decade of democracy. lore about an hour to 0. let's go to the hub valleys, covered, tentative extensively for al jazeera over the as i had a rather interesting turn around for the largest political party in parliament or the right. so i think another party has listen to the voice of reason in this respect because they know that they have the history of the ball during the last

few decades. remember algeria probably what happened in julia when the islam and julia were denied their i to, you know, to enjoy the democratic success in the elections. remember what happened in egypt, a member of top and in libya and in yemen. so they know that the movement, but you know, the movement that they have, even though a few years ago, they have decided to become a purely political party and not to proselytize islam anymore. as a part of the ideology. even despite, despite that they know that the, the, the times are not in their favor. and they know that if they go into a confrontation could become bloody and that could not be just the end of the marcia. denisia could be the end of their own movement because they have seen the conditions on the ground. the president is strong, he has the army on his side. he has a big part of the population on his sides. and he has also the labor unions and

they haven't seen any condemnation. they haven't even seen any condemnation from the outside world because looking at what happened also. so they know that the game is not in their favor and they have taken that decision, according to observers. how important is the next 30 days while parliament is frozen? well, that the 30 days will be that tenisha will be under the control of the president, partly almost a 100 percent. so anything that happens during the 30 days is going to be the responsibility of the president because he has taken those measures unless another party results to violence. so if no other policy results to violence, any mistakes and the failures will be the responsibility of the president, the other parties are waiting to see what happens during the 30 days. they are really into, according to what they said today, they are not going to go in the streets are not going to defy the orders of the president, but they're going to wait and demanding dialogue and they're going to fight in

their own way. and they're not going to allow the, what they described as a cool against the constitution to continue for over mom involved for the update. thanks very much. let's get on the international reaction now to this e was called for a quick return to stability. the u. s. secretary of state antony blink, and i've spoken to the tennessee in president, asking him to respect democracy in a phone call. he asked, i said, to maintain dialogue with all sides of the white house press. secretary gen psyche struck a similar tone. we are concerned about the developments in tunisia which come as a technician, authorities are seeking to stabilize their economy, confront a resurgence in the cupboard 19 pandemic, and improved living standards for all tunisians. we are in touch at the senior level for both the white house and the state department with denise and leaders to learn more about the situation. urge. com and support tunisian efforts to move forward in line with democratic principles. the full abode is the executive

director and co founder of the nordic center for conflict transformation. he says, the president doesn't have clear legal grounds for his actions. first of all, the article really needs the constitution. you know, it has a legal lack which is actually the establishment and then the specific to establish the constitutional court which, which didn't happen for the 70 years after the adoption of the got fusion. so when an article in the constitution is legally not complete, it cannot be triggered politically. and this is what i think. and this is my opinion that the president should not have triggered that article because he's not company legally yet by the establishment of the cocking, quote constitutional court in order to be established within the framework of check and balances of democracy. and if you look at the article 80, it's all about chicken benefits. unfortunately, the court is not there, which i think is the priority in the political process of geneva. and what is

different today to me via it had before before the establishment of the democracy. in tunisia there was a compensation between the 1st movement and authoritarian regime of taking. today there is a consultation between a social movement but democratically elected institution. ad we have to know also that there's 2 needs. yeah, it's a young democracy. it's just been established and they have done that and succeeded that through the national dialogue, which he needs are very good at which them actually the no, but the price piece in 2015. well, the 1st person to be charged and the hong kong national security law has been found guilty. they will, being seen as a landmark ruling tonguing kit was convicted of inciting, secession and terrorism. after riding a motorcycle into a group of police officers displaying a banner that called the hong kong liberation, adrian brown has moved from the city july,

the 1st 2020. and one of the last big protests in whom comb a gathering held in defiance of social distance rules and sweeping new national security law. the same law under which tonguing kit has now been convicted. it was the day disobedience accelerated. these images capturing the moment tongue drove his motorcycle towards a group of policemen, attached to his machine, a banner proclaiming liberate home coma revolution. about times that was a cry heard constantly during the unrest. tones a pleaded not guilty to both charges on which he was convicted. his trial happened without a jury. instead, the verdict was delivered by a panel of 3 judges, appointed by hong kong chief executive carry, alarm. the reasons the judge gave for the verdict runs to more than 60 pages,

but in essence, they say the tongue fully understood that the words on his protest banner, acquainted to a call for independence, and that the slogan was capable of inciting others. he'll be sentenced at a later date, but faces a lifetime. more than a $120.00 people have so far been charged under the national security legislation, including the publisher, jimmy ly, who was also in court on tuesday. like tongue, he 2 faces spending the rest of his life in jail. adrian brown, al jazeera hong kong. now the january, the 6th, the pac on the us capitol hill was a clear plan to disrupt democracy. that's according to one police officer present. that day is testifying in front of a select committee for officers will discuss the verbal and physical abuse that they say they suffered during the insurrection. the committee was set up by house be commenced policy after efforts for a bipartisan commission failed for president donald trump, who was accused of inciting the writers,

remain suspended from major social media platforms for a 100 following event. fords from capitol hill. just talk us through what we know has happened so far, john? well, right now, we're hearing from the 1st of the 4 police officers who are at the capital on january 6, surging aqua lino, good now of the us capital police. he said he was more frightened on january 6, then he was when he was deployed as an army officer as an army soldier in iraq. he said that at one point he asked, he said to himself, this is where i'm going to die. defending this entrance to the capital, he talked about how when he went home, his wife moved to hug him and he had to push her away because of all the chemicals they had on his uniform. and he said, even now many months after this incident, he is still dealing with his injuries, mental, and physical as a result of this trauma, we also saw some video that we have not seen before, very graphic video. some of it profane of the writers communicating with each other

and coordinating their attack on the capital that day. so we expect to hear from 3 other officers as well. and before this, we heard from benny thompson, the chairman of this commission. he's who said that he was going to follow the facts as they move forward. we also heard from liz cheney one of the 2 republicans on this panel who had broken with her party and agreed to cooperate on this commission. because the republicans got quite an interesting strategy that just called calling fowl only. that's right. the republicans don't want this to happen at all. neither party really wanted this to be the forum in which they did this. the democrats wanted in independent commission that reported to congress rather than the select committee, that they have the republicans voted that down. and kevin mccarthy, the house speaker, who initially criticize president trump, for his actions on january 6 today said that this is a sham process. it's

a partisan process and the american public should not put their faith in it. jamie raskin, a democratic congressman, who is on this committee as well passed by report is a little earlier and said it's a bit rich that republicans are saying this because they proposed to insurrection deniers for this commission. the house speaker, nancy pelosi, the democratic leader rejected that motion rejected both of those members who said that what they were going to do is to try to blame nancy pelosi for her actions and controlling the capitol police. well, that's not exactly how that work. she is not in control of capital police, although she does coordinate with them. so the republicans are trying to minimize this process to de, legitimize it, and to deny, in many cases that there was an insurrection at all. democrats say what they want to do is shine a light on what happened that day to prevent it in the future,

and particularly to shine a light on the influence of the former president donald trump. while the events of today will continue for a few hours and will continue to dip into what is being said with you, john 100, capitol hill? well, still had hill now to 0. sir lankin narrowly avoid defaults on its death, but serious financial problems remain rather detailed from columbus and rescue. devastated parts of western india. the survivors of the heavy rains called deadly flood the stories after the break. ah, the info has not finished. his potential damage yet is no longer a typhoon, nor really a tropical storm. i put it on here just to show you where it is. and the smaller one, the 5 pack is almost still naming as a tropical storm. it's winds about $85.00, miss brown. again,

it is cause it's increasing wind and rain in tokyo, but most of the damage potential is further north as well in home shape. so china, 1st i think we'll, we'll see the worst of it. so though in far so my stop being identified as the storm, the rain which you see is this orange band, is a long way north and east, and it's falling to some degree overland. it's already on there already started. so there'll be more off the same for the south, it's a dry picture. things are slowly improving. so, hong she then is a very weird course. this, this thing took in fat. it observes gonna go south, took you, then he went north, which is fine. but of course, there are shouts all the way down through hong should is a full cost wednesday, so there's more to come to the winds. dying down it typically ever took here. monsoon rains are really pushing further north and further east. so bang, the dash north me and my will read through the northern states when you to northern pakistan. again, the orange middle is the big sleigh meetings. on the psalms they will be yet again flooding

the when freedom of the press is under threat. in, oh, you just cause thought genuinely about your thoughts towards that they can government step outside the mainstream. there has been a implement here. some of access points shift the focus, the panoramic that's turned out to be a handy little prefect. the prime minister to clamp down on the press covering the waves. the news is covered for listening post on i just oh the me

disaster assistance say the explosion is an extreme threat. dominic cane is monitoring developments from berlin. an explosion such as this taking place in a venue such as the one involved industrial and chemical plant really had the potential for very serious damage. indeed. and that's why the opportunities were very quick to say that all those people living in the surrounding area and that area, extending to a considerable parts of the country, should go in doors and close the doors close by windows and wait for further information from the authorities. in so far as those who have been in, we know that multiple casualties have been caused in this incident, and the number of people injured more than a dozen people injured, some differing outlet, saying different numbers be clearly more than a dozen people to a certain extent. you have people who are already very concerned and then why people see the footage, the pictures fall, what actually happens. and they've been using lots of people on social media. been posting a video of the billing clients of smoke. and of course,

the concern was for mixing with that smoke might be some potentially particularly poisonous chemicals that might have been released at the time of the explosion. that's why the officials in labor keys and, and elsewhere as i say, were very keen to stress that everybody anywhere near the incident go in doors. cases of chrome bars have said to a record daily high in the house city of dealing picks. there been almost $3000.00 new infections in japan's capital token protest have been held against the games with concerns that it'll become a super spreader event. prime minister, you see the suca says he's not worried about the games because urge people to watch them from home. push i do another day. under the circumstance we again would like all our japanese citizens to avoid non essential and non urgent outings and watch the olympics and paralympics on tv. cornel could among those hang into the tenant
