we can, we know how to get to places that others cannot. i was just thrown in fear guy by the police on purpose. if i said i'm going, i'm going to be the way that you tell the story is what can make a difference. me, i me, this is al jazeera ah other kimbell. this is the news all law from bill coming up in the next 60 minutes to new. the is biggest fiscal policy just for testers, to stay off the streets and calls for talks to preserve a decade of democracy. what i witnessed and experienced on january 6, 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 versus to be charged on the hong kong. strict national security law has been found guilty of inciting secession and terrorism, and 12000 years old and almost untouched by humans. we look at the primeval, the charge that goes seeking to preserve the defense for the latest, from the tokyo games, the future of reigning olympic gymnastics champion, simone biles isn't dealt the games up. she withdraws from the team. final thing she focused on her mental health. ah, she knew the civil society groups had warned president guy side not to extend the emergency measures he imposed on monday. the groups, including the countries powerful may be union cold on the president to establish

roadmap out of the crisis to disease. biggest political party is also calling for efforts to avoid civil unrest after a day of upheaval. laura bitter 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, his setup, barricade locking people, and politicians from accessing government buildings. president said sucked the prime minister of the prominence capital members and announce of fries and 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 a local. if the people see that kyle 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

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 news of the political party as well as some of your patients. and we call the changes in people to the com and vigilant and you ready to defense visible. christy really, really must protest were held on sunday with many, focusing 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 that led 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 and resume internees yet, but we're in democratic are you into an epic and has to happen within the mac graphic process. and democratic framework for now to mrs. com. many don't know whether it's fragile democracy can be saved by dialogue,

or whether the streets will once again become a stage for a nation demanding change. lower but manly out to 0 or more on the shower is i'll just the senior political analyst. he joins us now by scholar from paris tomorrow, and the president has as frozen parliament for 30 days. what's likely to happen next? what should we be looking out for? could either seed extended for further months because the brother would like the president would like to consolidate his power and perhaps forced a change for constitutions and, and took the country to a new election and perhaps something quite unknown or under pressure from civilian society. and the political parties of the country as well as fresher by his own friends, perhaps in europe in the united states. that we will see this end with national dialogue. which idea they should have been led by the president not by parliament.

because if he president, that kind of se, considers himself i sort of our father figure for the nation, it would have been up on him to lead a national level or something. of course that he very. busy much rejected throughout the last couple of years. feeling better denouncing and attacking than reconciliation, cooperating with the other parties. she would hope this may, it might have shaken the country not. and that the country when, as we heard from your report, try to engage within the graphic system for our way out of the crisis. you're not about, he has on the one hand to choose the president of overturning constitutional rights . but on the other hand, is cool calling for a national dialogue, what should we read into that will look, i mean, if you read the article 80 of the constitution that the president sites, and although he is a law professor, but it doesn't take any constitutional lawyer to see if he's really trespassed and

he's been violated the constitution, whether it's credit or letter. so the idea now is to help the president climbed on the tree because this particular country, as i said earlier to the unknown, there is no other way. but the democratic dialogue there is no other way but to respect the institution. because i think the idea of resorting to the street and resorting to further escalation would not help a country in crisis like denisia. what is tracy? both a health and economic and political crisis. so there is no way out but to do that. and i think it is helpful that the opposition parties that have been basically locked out of their parliament to be calling for the national dialogue. because that is the way forwards what condition the response from the international community has for the large part been fairly muted. why is that?

it's disappointing said the lease, whether from european capitals or, or the american capital. it has been mute. although most countries are unhappy with what is happening in denisia, the 1st arab spring country where there's a nation ledger lin democracy. but not clear enough to make clear that tunisia must respect its constitutional democracy. and here, just looking at something similar that we've seen happening in the united states, where one person basically took his followers, basically let them inspire them, guided them back the us parliament, many congress in order to force his way and order to remain in power. we've seen that being denouncing the united states and we've seen the united states respect the constitutional. see now a new president,

basically saying the world is divided between our courses and liberal democracies and put the human rights for something that might come out for a box or something for your powers. and yet both powers are not yet putting enough pressure on that denisia presidents in order to make sure that it doesn't go egypt way. it doesn't become a dictatorship, that things are resolved within the constitutional democracy. so you would expect, you hope that washington and paris longer than others would weigh in it, you know, softly speaking in order to entice the president and the other political parties to try to not manage their egos, but manage the public affairs of the countries. i thank you very much for that model and show their senior political analyst, and you can read more about what model on the has to say on the political crisis into news on our website. the address for that is al jazeera dot com. thank you. my

head on the news. all including rescue is scar. devastation called the west and india for survivors of the heavy rains that cause deadly floods. person is biggest worship b h m, as queen elizabeth. this concern as it heads to the south china sea and making waves speak 1st, lympics surfing champions of crumbs up against in tokyo. ah . january 6th attack on the u. s. capital has been described as a clear plan to disrupt democracy. police 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 set out by how

speak a nancy pelosi left. the efforts for a bipartisan commission failed for the president. donald trump was accused of inciting the rises. one officer who was hospitalized off to be attacked by rises, lashed out at republican lawmakers, accused of downplaying, the attack on 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 is prepared. me to address those elected members of our government who continued to deny the events of that day. john henry and his lie for us now john, to tell that there was some really emotional testimony there today. what else did

we hear? the testimony was emotional, sometimes harring, excuse me, one officer said that he had never been so afraid since he was in iraq. he said that at one point he was guarding the capital doors and he thought this is where i'm going to die. another officer, one who was seen in that final video being crushed by protesters inside the capital doors. his name is daniel hodges. he begged congress to take action. he says he wants to know if anyone in power played a role in this that's a direct shot across the bow. it seems that then president donald trump, who urged his supporters to march to the capital. hodges also talked about the trauma. that the entire incident had on all of the officers and another officer, a black officer, said that he had been called the n word multiple times that day. each of them

recounting these were trump supporters. people carrying trump signs and make america great. again, signs, making sure that people understood these were not people from the black lives matter movement. these are not people from and t for these were trump supporters who had been urged by the president to go to the capital. we also saw some new video video. we had not seen before in which a man picks up a phone and pretends to talk to nancy pelosi saying, we're coming after you. that is that democratic house speaker, and then saying the same of mike pence then the vice president who famously refused to stop the voting that certified jo biden's election. john, will the committee be investigating whether the former president, donald trump, could have his role in inciting the rises? well, there seem to be several people in the committee who want to do just that. and we

heard some of that from to the police officer today, not specifically naming donald trump, but asking about people in power. and members of the committee say including the chairman that they want to get to the bottom of this. they want to know exactly what happened. one of the ways they might be able to do that would be to talk to the house. minority leader, kevin mccarthy. he had a phone call with then president donald trump during the time. and according to 2nd hand reports he was yelling at trump urging him to take action. and the president is said not to have responded well to that. so that is among the things that we are hoping to hear. but mccarthy has not been cooperative so far in answering those questions, so it's really not clear whether we're to get to the bottom of that or not. but that is certainly the goal of this committee. they can call donald trump, they can call kevin mccarthy, but they can't necessarily make them speak. all right, thank you for that. i'll just, aaron, strong 100. the 1st person to be charged on the hong kong national security law has

been found guilty. and what's being seen as a landmark when tongue in kit was convicted of in fighting secession and terrorism . after running a motorcycle into a group of police officers and displaying a banner that called for hong kong liberation, adrian brown reports from the city. yeah, 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 tom 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 their verdict, runs to more than 60 pages. but in essence, they say the tongue fully understood that the words on its protest, spanner 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 with cases of corona virus,

have surge to record daily high in the host city of the olympics. there being almost $3000.00 new infections in japan's capital, tokyo process have been held against the games with concerns that become a super spreader event. foreign minister shahita saga says he's not worried about the games, but his urge people to watch them from home who showed you'll do another day. and 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. models hang into the tenant due to the limitation of vehicles remote working and all the efforts bio citizen uses, the movement of people is decreasing. so we are not worried that some japanese citizens remain conferred about the effect games may be having on the number of new cases. my mom has the amount of before the olympics began with 600 to 700 people a day. and certainly it's double times that i wondered the numbers were made lower,

but i also wonder if it's because of the increasing foreigners to have such worries . already picked them up. i'm supporting the picks i used to do sports too, so i really do support it when it's this kind of situation. it's natural that people wonder whether it's okay to hold the olympics and mom thought a weeks as a professor of political science at most a she know university in tokyo. she says the government in fist, 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 big so not holding the picks. and he did say his role is to ensure, you know, the, the health and safety of the people. and i guess today is one example is a big chest with 2800 cases. people are most concerned about those. and i think if we didn't have the olympics here in here, we probably be having

a similar conversations. i think the fact that the olympics. ready that was being held now were due to the year that it said that extra layer will just help politician 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 they 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 based upon each other the world trade organization is expected to scott to discuss global demands for

a vaccine patient waiver. as this general counsel meets in geneva, the u. s. south africa and india have led cold for the suspension of intellectual property rights for several jobs. they say it would allow local production to vaccine and haysman end to the pandemic. but it's opposed by several wealthy nation, including the u. k. and the european union to a whole is in london. he says is unlikely to be clear agreement on vaccine wave is 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 meets 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. but you don't do away with the all important profit principle. so without consensus, there's unlikely to be agreement. it may be pushed down the road to another meeting in october to too 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 pakistan has reopened the major southwest and border crossing with cornerstone. that's on the tele bond control post on the official set on monday that allow more than 100
