help him, sir, it should be about raising prices and farther down to the time we bring you the stories and developments that are rapidly changing the world we live in time. in that said, they had made it as the task of fixing a war torn economy, counting the cost on al jazeera ah, trinity, the biggest political party just protested to stay off the district. the cold for talks to preserve a decade of democracy. ah, i'm getting vanelle. this is under their law from bill ha. also coming up. what i witnessed inexperienced on january 6th, 2021 was unlike anything i had ever seen. us police officers who were attacked during the january 6 capital riots,

testified before an investigation committee to be charged. and the hong kong strict national security law has been found guilty of inciting secession and terrorism. and where in flood ravaged to dawn with thousands of people have been full since emergency shelter. ah, trinity of civil society groups have warned president kind of side not to extend the emergency measures he imposed on monday. the groups, including the country, powerful labor union called on the president to establish a roadmap out of the crisis to new. the biggest political party is also calling the efforts to avoid civil unrest after a day of people. lord burton mandy has this report. happy bird gave a avenue in the heart of 2 nieces. diplomat, guerria has known the stage for protests and political change. and this week with

no difference or security forces lying the streets and the army has set up our case locking people and politicians from accessing government buildings. president case said site, the prime minister of the prominent capital members and announce a freeze on parliament's 30 days when he says the decision was taken after following the process laid out by the constitution. but the move was divided opinions and i'm only local. if the people see that kind of said wants to become a dictator and work against the revolution, of course the people rise up against him and overthrow him so that you know cause and cause it is really a rescue operation. because lately alternation have seen that the economic and social situation has deteriorated. a lot under the government's policies, the biggest political group, the another party is calling the president's move accrue, but says it's open and ready for dialog. we reject the

unconstitutional announcements and we welcome all the rejections that have come from most of the political party as well as some of the organizations. and we call on the changes in people to the com and vigilant. and you ready to defend that democracy really, really? must protest were held on sunday with many folks at the inactive party. a long struggle with cubic 19 and an economy in decline has become a perfect recipe for unrest. the then on monday, a face off in tunis between those for and against the president. the same streets were filled during the 2011 jasmine revolution, but left with decades of democracy with the people now in power,

a being accused of corruption and incompetence. and the president is accused of establishing an authoritarian governments, the many people here so hard to read of a decade ago. for now, what is important is that the decision for all of the political acts up to fit together, that we are no longer within to return to resume internees yet. but we're in democratic review. and everything has to happen within that democratic process and democratic framework. so now tunis has come, many don't know whether it's fragile democracy can be phased by dialogue, or whether the streets will once again become a stage for nation demanding change. laur about a manly out just there are on the shower is algebra senior political analyst. he says west and these have a double standard when it comes to democracy in the news you if he has the country's best interest in mind,

you could assume that he's only doing this in order to shake the system and order to force various politicians and the country and political parties to act more urgently in order to resolve the problems if he has his own best interest in mind and wants to further empower the presidency and himself in order to take full control of the country life, for example, in neighboring egypt. but he has admired the president cc, then he is looking for more of a dictatorship by the gym. and that would mean that temporary meaning a month period will come 2 months, 3 months, and more, hoping that he will undermine democrats system in order to accumulate more power and perhaps change that constitutions to fit his own whims. if we can judge him to be one intention than hopefully with morning national pressure, political system will go back and be in order. what puzzled me and all of this is

why something like the bottom administration would not take a position, because trump would not use the pandemic or could not use the pandemic and economic crisis in the united states in order to shut down congress. so why do you to be in capitals and on washington respect or accept that case? i does the same and to news you the january 6 attack on us capitol hill has been described as a clear plan to disrupt democracy. the lease officers who worked that day have been taking it in turns to testify in front of the select committee. the reliving the verbal and physical abuse. they say they suffered during the insurrection. one described the attack like a medieval battle and said he feared he would die. the committee was sent out by haul, speaking nancy pelosi after f. it's for a bipartisan commission failed for president. donald trump was accused of inciting the rises. one officer who was hospitalized after being attacked by rises,

lashed out of republican lawmakers, accused of downplaying, the attack on the capital. the indifference shown to my colleagues is disgraceful by law enforcement career prepared me to cope with some of the aspects of dick's experience. being an officer, you know, your life is at risk whenever you walk out the door, even if you don't expect otherwise, law abiding citizens to take up arms against you, but nothing truly. nothing has prepared me to address those elected members of our government who continued to deny the events of that day. we don't engine his life for us at capitol hill, john. so this is the 1st hearing of the special committee. what else have we heard there today? go all for officers. describe the attack on the capitol in the sometimes terrifying

attacks on them themselves. one of the officers said he was more afraid on that day that he was when he served in iraq. he said he stood before the capital doors thinking this is how i'm going to die to defend the entrance to the capital. another officer, remember that i conic video, that the viral video of an officer being squeezed in between the capital doors by protesters. well, that officer here spoke as well, and he said that only congress can investigate what happened on that day. and he said, i need you to see if anyone in power had a role in it. he said, we can't as police do that. so they actually pleaded in some cases for action by congress. then the emotion wasn't just from the 4 officers who were on the witness stand. it also came from members of congress themselves. adam qindzhong, or a congressman of republican congressman from illinois. one of 2 republicans who

were defying their party to participate in this process, sobbed cheerfully as he, as he said, to the officers. what you did that day was you held your ground. you want said democracy is defined not by its failures, but by its victories. and this was one of them. we also read lives cheney one of the other republicans, the other only republican who participate in the process saying that if this isn't investigated, a cancer on the u. s. republic will continue, and this could happen every 4 years. so emotional testimony from the 4 police officers and some emotion coming from the members of congress as well. john, the attack on capitol hill was obviously hugely divisive. and even the formation of this very committee to investigate, it became a part of an issue. walk us through that well, no one really wanted this to be the forum in which this incident was investigated.

democrats wanted to be an independent commission, kind of like the $911.00 commission that would look into it and then report back to congress. it would be a sort of a blue ribbon panel of republicans voted that down. then the republicans nominated a couple of congressmen. jim jordan and jim banks to the commission to the committee rather who have been fervent, trump supporters, who voted not to certify the results of jo biden's election and nancy pelosi, the how speaker rejected that. well now the rest of the republican party is simply not participating in this process in your writing it the republican minority leader kevin mccarthy called it a sham in a news conference earlier today. i thank you very much for that. john henry there. capitol hill. the 1st person to be charged on the hong kong national security law has been found guilty and won't being seen as a landmark ruling tommy. and it was convicted of inciting, secession and terrorism. after riding a motorcycle into

stream that will belong open and the levels have gone down a bit. but water keeps coming. more than 60 houses in that neighbourhood have been partially or completely destroyed by the rising water is the result of heavy rain coming off the mountains and swelling rivers. people say it's the worth 15 years. i've been with them, marty. this used to be part of my home, but the walls and ceilings have collapsed. my savings were in this room as well as important documentary on all have been washed away along with some things i brought to sell people official for at least 10000 people have been affected and more than 2000 have been displaced for dance. government says more floods are expected in many parts of the country during the annual rainy season in august, and has urged those risks to take the necessary precautions. while some families have up to stay in their homes as by the floods,

others had no option but to leave the state of florida. these have been criticized for not acting fast enough. and as it's only this part of the rainy season, it's feared that more houses are in danger of collapse and that's more people will suffer. this school is where some families have sought refuge. many are still waiting for 8 days after the floods. and concerns are growing over lack of basic necessities that there are elderly people here with us. and there are kids who need urgent care. they need food and medicine. the government needs to act immediately. others are also calling on ada organisations for assistance at the fuel. here with my id in the food, the fruits with the snakes and scorpions, and we need and even in the trucks. we need international organizations as different and help before things get worse. as the rain season continues, foul is one of the underdeveloped rural areas in to dan and not to worry, it will take too long before they get the help they need. he will morgan onto 0 and

follow the bodies to down. the united kingdom is carrying out its most extensive naval deployment and a generation aircraft carrier h m. s. queen elizabeth is being accompanied by a flotilla of navy ships and its presence in dispute. parts of the south china sea is causing concern flowing. so ever for me is the british navy biggest and most powerful, more ship the h m, as queen elizabeth, across the carrier was leading up the pillar of navy ship on its maiden deploying the largest concentration of british and maritime power in your prime minister boys johnson says that deployment will help to strengthen what's known as british soft power. the term used to describe a belief in democracy and the rule of law. analysts say joe politics is at play. it's also doing it because their attention over taiwan and britain like the you and

other major powers have an interest in not seeing that become an armed conflict. and so they have to demonstrate that their countries willing to stand up against the use of force against it. and i also feel it says that early signals are the biden administration that britain is a player, an ally, no longer trapped in europe, but able to act independently. the flotilla will sail through the south china sea, a large part of which china says, is its territory. tonight, malaysia, the philippines, taiwan, and vietnam contest that the us, which is not a claimant, has consistently dismissed china's claim. aging claim to the vast majority of the south china sea has no basis and international law that assertion treads on the sovereignty. other states in the region. we continue to support the regions coastal states and upholding their rights. under international law,

the chinese government view freedom of navigation operation, often conducted by the u. s. navy as a provocation. in recent years, china has increased its military spending and grow more assertive in its claims over the south china sea entrance. i already hate them. seems to be when trying to begin island building activities in the south china sea. but what i'm worried now is that we've the collection of so many military ss in this region. that's going to be the higher chance of miscalculation you call. recently announced a permanent be deployed to warships in asian waters after the flotilla, sales to japan. in september, the deployment is part of the british governments tilt towards the endo pacific, much like the u. s. pivot to asia and the former us president brock obama. it is in part a response to china's growing influence, and that's makes the south china sea. more of a potential flashpoints,

florence louis al jazeera qualify for one person has been killed and for others. a missing after an explosion in the german city of lever cars, and that happened at a tank farm that had industrial facility. at least 16 people injured. germany's federal office for civil protection and disaster assistance says the explosion is it extreme? thresh, dominic cane is monitoring developments from an explosion such as this taking place in a venue such as the one involved and industrial 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 part of the country to go in doors and closed the doors close that windows and wait for further information from the authorities. in so far as those who happy, we know that multiple casualties have been caused in this incidents 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 of what actually happens. and they've been using lots of people on social media in posting a video of the billing clouds of smoke. and of course, the concern was mixed in 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 liberty isn't and elsewhere. as i say. we are very keen to stress that everybody anywhere near the incident go in doors. well, trade organization is expected to discuss global demands for a vaccine patient waiver. as its general counsel meets in geneva, the u. s. south africa and india have led calls for the suspension of intellectual property wrought phone, several jobs. they say it would allow local production of vaccines and hasen an end

to the pandemic. but it's opposed by several wealthy nation, including the u. k. and the european union. john hall is in london. he says is unlikely to be clara agreement on vaccine waivers. among w t o members, i think it will meet a divided audience in the world trade organization among its membership is the general council meeting over the next 2 days. they're going to address it, they're going to look at it. we're going to hear from them either today or tomorrow . is it likely to be endorsed overall by consensus? this is a consensus body after all, probably not at this meeting. i think those are the signs anyway. there's a lot of opposition. the u. k. germany on the part of the e. u is opposed as well as other rich countries. japan, australia, norway, switzerland. these are countries that believe that if you simply do away with intellectual property rights, you set a very poor precedent in terms of future investment,

risk research innovation by these big pharmaceutical companies. they'd rather see a system of licensing rights handed out to developing countries. technology transfers so that you can manufacture those vaccines on the ground that you don't do away with the all important profit principle. so without consensus, they're unlikely to be agreement. it may be pushed down the road to another meeting in october to, to late of course, say activists, and campaigners who will and many more people will die in the meantime. infection rates arising fast across the developing world, and as they do so to will rise the risk of the emergence of yet more dangerous variance. undermining further the world's ability to escape this pandemic cases. if corona virus or surge to a rack or daily high in the host city of the olympics, there's been almost 3000 new infections in pans. capital. tokyo protests have been held against the games with concerns. it'll become a super spread or event prime minister. you're sure he says he's not worried about

the games, but has urged people to watch them from home. push as you do another day. under the circumstance we, again, we'd like all our japanese citizens to avoid non essential and non urgent outings and watch the olympics and paralympics on tv. going all among those hang into the tenant, due to the limitation of vehicles remote working and all the efforts by citizen uses, the movement of people is decreasing. so we are not worried down a week's as a professor of political science at was a she know, university in tokyo. she says the government insists it's trying to prioritize people's health. certainly promised to submit has made that his main claim throughout the time when we're talking about holding the olympics. i'm not holding the pix, and he did say his role is to ensure that the health and safety of the people. and i guess today is one example is a big test with 2800 cases. people are now concerned about those.

and i think if we didn't have the olympics here in cherokee, we probably be having a similar conversations. i think the fact that the olympics. ready with juice was being held now were due to the year is that that extra layer will just help competition should he should be responding to the medical advance, which is of course, always along the way being that we should prioritize people's health and the overriding pressure that i think was dealing to from the international olympic committee that you know, the games must go ahead and the idea is, i guess the international committee has the athletes. them compete and be in the bubble. and the wrist was here in tokyo. once we stay home and watch on television movie in our bubble and you know,

hopefully the bubbles. what kind of question burst upon each other now to an athlete preparing to compete in the paralympics in tokyo, which dalton late august for 2 can india got polio with age 5 developed bo legs considered an outstanding jazlyn trauma. she's just entered the international stage this year. now she's cynical hope for a gentleman middle, his, her story and her words. well, my name is far too can n g i. i am representing senegal in the 2020 paralympic games in tokyo. when i for this spear, all i want to do is when i was 10, when one day i woke up and couldn't walk anymore. i had polio in for me. my disability is no obstacle, i believe in god. this is what i got. i started javelin only some months ago and

already won some competitions. it takes a lot of effort. i have to wake up early in the morning, get the kids ready for school, go to train and take care of the household. my coach helped me a lot and he motivated me to continue training after the death of my mother. it is thanks to him and all the people who supported me that i am going to tell you what i believe in myself. i don't let my disability get in the way you see me speaking softly now, but at the competitions, i become another person. i take pride in representing my country abroad and i want to tell others like me not to hide behind their disability. go out there, do whatever sport you like, it will be good for you and your house. when i 1st started sports, my friends were mocking me. they wouldn't believe that it was taken abroad to participate in competitions. they couldn't imagine that

a disabled person could be an athlete. my family thought i was brought to those countries to beg because that is what many disabled people end up doing, begging on the streets. it was only after they saw my success, but they started to understand and support me. my hope is to win the gold medal in tokyo, bring it back here to senegal. that when i'm training for, ah, this is algebra and these that help stories, the biggest political group introduces the another party is calling for dialogue to end. the political crisis comes after accused president k side of crew trade unions are also calling for the president, establish a roadmap out of the crisis user county. she use the international spokesperson for the and the party. we absolutely reject the unconstitutional and.
