ah, hello, welcome to al jazeera, u. s. congressional committee investigating last year's insurrection at capitol hill has been told. the violence wasn't an accident. on a former president, donald trump bears responsibility for it in a prime time, hearing it's chair war and us democracy remains. in danger of following the attack house investigators released new footage of scenes outside and inside the building . police being brutally attacked and members are far right wing groups leading crowds into the capitol. on this point, there is no room for debate. those who invaded our capital and battled law enforcement for hours were motivated by what president trump had told them. that the election was stolen and that he was the rightful president, president summons the mob assembled the mob and lit the flame of this attack. so

there was testimony for members of from family including his daughter, yvonne caught her husband, jared christner, vanka. trump said she accepted that the election wasn't stolen in the nearly year long investigation around a 1000 people connected to that siege have been interviewed, and more than 140000 documents collected. let's bring in hydro castro, she's life for us. capitol hill, listening in to the hearings that wrapped up just about half an hour ago or so. just tell us what the take away message was. id just the 1st of several hearings and there were several explosive revelations that came out of this and all of them center around trump and his thinking his motives surrounding the january 6th riot. the committee said that trump was told clearly by then attorney general william bar that trumps claimed that the election haven't stolen was in bars words quote b s. and this is shown in

a video tape deposition of bar saying that himself now shown to the american public . we also learned a point to the committee that as us right was unfolding on january 6th. trump, he was watching, was violence on television at the white house and yelling at his advisors who were pleading with him to call off the mob. it took him 3 hours to do so. and it is said that he even said at some point that those rioters who were at that time searching for vice president mike pence to do him our work refusing to go along with their idea of overturning the election. that trump had said that tense, maybe you should get it. furthermore, can rush aids at the white house threatening to resign. several of them. but then fearing that if left alone, trump in that mental state was dangerous and cabinet secretaries discussing invoking the 25th amendment to when a cath incapacitated us presently,

all of this new information and that i would publican congressman asked the white house for presidential pardons. following the why it, on top of all that we saw emotional video of more of the mob and the violence confronted by capitol police officers who said they were slipping and blood try to fold up their colleagues as they were overwhelmed. and under attack, that committee chair benny thompson, of this panel, something it up saying that the country was in great danger and remain. so january 6 was the culmination of an attempted cou. a brazen attempt as one right to put it shortly after january 6 to overthrow the government. the balance was no accident. it represents senate prompts less than most desperate chance to haul the transfer of pow wow. so how do you tell us what we

should be looking forward to next? because i understand this is just one of several hearings to be held later this month. about a half dozen more hearings are scheduled to rain and they will feature more live testimony as well. as the videotape depositions of white house advisors, trump more members of his family, more testimony from the mancha trump, and also testimony from the department of justice officials, who, according to the committee, se trump pressured them to try to overturn the election same coming from republican of members of the us state election boards, the secretary of state of georgia, who also refused to go along with trumps demands to i overturned the election. all of that is to conduct the what is the purpose of this thing to keep in mind that this committee, which is driven by democrats, are hoping to reveal results to the american public ahead of the mid term elections that are coming up. they say this is the time to re engage the public that may have

lost interest in this riot which happen more out close to a year and a half ago. but again, the message from the committee here is being that this is an event that cannot simply be buried or shut underneath the rug. or thank you so much. hi, to jer, password reporting from capitol hill. well, one of the police officers who continued to try to protect the capital despite being injured detailed her experience, what i saw was just a war scene. it was something like i had seen out of the movies. i couldn't believe my eyes. there were officers on the ground. ah, you know, they were bleeding, they were throwing up. they were, you know, they had. i mean i saw friends with blood all over their faces. i was slipping in people's blood. i was catching people as they fell. it was

carnage. it was chaos. never in my wildest dreams did i think that as a police officer, as a law enforcement officer, i would find myself in the middle of a battle. i just remember that moment of stepping behind the line and just seeing the absolute war zone that the west run had become. so it was heidi was just saying in the next few weeks, the committee hearings will be focusing on several points of the investigation. monday session will focus on donald trump and his advisors knowing he lost the election. then on wednesday, it'll examine trumps plans to replace the attorney general so that the department of justice would spread his stolen election claims. thursday will focus on trumps efforts to pressure his vice president mike pence to refuse to count electoral votes on january the 6th than later in june. how trump summoned and directed supporters to march on the u. s. capital. a date for the final hearing is yet to be

announced, but it will include moment by moment accounts of the riots as recalled by white house officials. the summit of the americas continues in los angeles. president joe biden said that the region is one with unlimited potential, provided the countries work together. one area of cooperation is climate change. reynolds reports this that the summit of the americas us president joe biden has focused in part on global warming and clean energy through our efforts to strengthen clean energy economy in the americas. we're committing to just not just the energy transition, but to make communities that have been historically marginalized, are able to share equally in the gains. the us unveiled a plan to cooperate and help fund caribbean countries, trying to strengthen their vulnerable infrastructure in the face of rising sea levels and more frequent and destructive storms and to move away from fossil fuel. our member states are heavily dependent on fossil fuels for our energy needs.

another program sets goals for boosting the regions, clean renewable energy sources for electricity. major economies like argentina and brazil have signed on. ah, the president of parkway spoke for many countries in latin america and the caribbean, saying they are suffering from a climate crisis. they didn't help to create greenhouse gas emissions in paraguay are low. however, we have suffered greatly and we have suffered the effects over the last few years. this is seen in droughts, floods, fires, and crises when it comes to our water resources. we need specific commitments, especially from the countries who bear the most responsibility. biden is also pushing an initiative aimed at saving, what's left of the amazon rain forest that could lead to awkward moments during his 1st one. on one meeting with brazilian president jai year bull snarl,

who has encouraged more economic development in brazil's amazon basin. ah, as with any gathering of the powerful protesters also came a protester demanding protection of abortion rights in the us, stepped in front of biden's, motorcade, and was tackled by 2 secret service agents and taken into custody. migrants rights advocates demonstrated with a message for biden gave him a solution. we demand that the solution come forward. what happens when you have politicians and executives in a room is often that the people that are most directly impacted by their decisions are left out the number of migrant seeking to enter the u. s. as well as countries like columbia. and sheila has reached record setting levels this year on friday, the summit. participants will sign a declaration on migration, but no comprehensive solution to the vast and complex problem is anticipated. migration is

a thorny issue and dealing with it is made even more difficult by the number of empty seats at the table here. the leaders of guatemala, honduras, mexico, and other countries that are the homelands of many migrants have boycotted this summit. rob reynolds al jazeera, los angeles, deadlock over grain exports from ukrainian ports is threatening a global food crisis. moscow seas large parts of ukraine's coast, blocking farm exports. and now one of 2 russian bank breakaway regions in the east, se they'll soon start shipments by rail to russia. charles stratford reports from keith. another truck arrives at this farm in the cave region norton. ukraine. thought the rush is on to empty. these silos of last year's harvest of made to make space for approximately

35000 tons of winter wheat. but much of this crop may go to waste because of what ukraine and many countries it exports to say is a russian c blockade. at least $20000000.00 tons of grain is already stuck in silos across the country, contributing to rising prices. and what the u. n says is a growing global food crisis. so this might have been moved out of the silos in order to make face for the winter wheat. harvey deflected to start in about a month from now. a lot of this may have been taken to silos elsewhere, but a lot of it will begin journey through a port in romania attorney that can take up to 3 months and very complicated in day one root takes the grain by train from cube into moldova to avoid a coastal road that ukraine says, russian forces of shelled the train,

then drops back into the odessa region of ukraine before being unloaded. a do romanian border on to barges in renee and ismael. it then hits down the river down you to the romanian black sea port of constantino analysts say shortages and long overland export routes are pushed, the consumer price of grain up in recent months. producers have been hit even harder. there's not so much the cost of transport and logistics has increased 300 percent since before the war started. we are also looking at ways of getting the green out via the baltic sea and through hungry. but it can also take up to 2 months before the trucks take the maze away, samples are analyzed at the quality control, the bar tree on the farm. the grains will be periodically inspected again in the coming weeks because much of it will have to be stored outside silos, where rod could set in after only a month. exporting by train from ukraine is complicated because the rail track

gauge is different in neighboring poland and romania, russian forces withdrew from this area a few weeks ago. this wheat was planted before the war started. farmers work in the fields of mays and sunflowers. despite the danger of mines, an unexploded ordnance vacant port number, it was very difficult because we were sewing. during the invasion of our domestic market is very small. we have to sell it upon russia, which is also a major grain produces as western sanctions prevented from exporting. to global markets, depriving aids of billions of dollars of revenue and making the crisis even worse. moscow says it is open to a potential turkish and un plan to allow safe passage for ships to transport grain from ukrainian ports across the black sea and out to international markets by the boss for us. but russia says ukraine must d mind the sea root 1st. ukraine has so far,

refused saying it won't leave ukrainian port like a desa exposed to a potential russian attack from the sea. no agreed solution means ukraine could lose millions of dollars in revenue. and according to the un, more countries across africa and asia already suffering food shortages could potentially suffer even more stuff without a 0 q. the lead on alpha 0 when the why iraqi date or for that have been driving for centuries, are now at risk off destruction. ah, the journey has begun. the b for world copy is on its way to the castle book, your travel package today. now the wind picks up at this time of the year seasonal when the blows out of the hot pile of iraq and further south. you can imagine it

might feel a bit like a blast for this attempt to staying that high. and i think that's not a bad description if you stand it it 48 in doha, which is pretty high. 4018 q 8, which has seen 52 in the last couple of days. the whole area is whole. there's a heat wave warning for israel for the next 24 hours or so, and the palestinian territory. so the whole area is halted mostly, but some places hotter than other this pick. for example, gather 30 up to 34. we are just 20 not. you may not think it's much above the average, but don't get much movement above the average. when is this hot anyway? now does cool down a little bit in the eastern med, but this hot wind keeps blowing throughout saturday and probably sunday and you'll note it brings dust with it. so the eastern saudi cat are possibly part of the year way. it stays hot, dusty and windy. now it is possibly slightly hotter in pakistan with the same potential forward dust blown up in the increasing wind.

that's probably true for most of somalia, but some temporary good news, at least in mogadishu, that close closures as reigned about half the month's average. in the last day kat saw air with issue airline of the journey. algae is a real world meets to arabs both built successful nice blue power of scholars have made enormous contributions to size such as mathematics, astronomy and medicine, a cutting edge. dr. formulated h i v drug treatments in south africa and especially in engineering, science is changing lives in malazan villages, but purify pollutant water and turn it into drinking water. arabs abroad the pharmacologist and the scientists on al jazeera ah

the me, one of the top stories on al jazeera, this, our congressional committee investigating last year is insurrection. and capitol hill has been told the violence wasn't an accident on that. former president donald trump, bears responsibility for it in a prime time. hearing it's chair warns us democracy remains in danger. following that attack the committee or violence previously unseen footage of rise or is beating police enforcing their way into the capitol. well, the reuters if so, the pool has revealed more than half of us republicans believe the false claim that left when professors led the january 6 attack to try to make then president donald trump look bad. 58 percent of republicans say they believed most of the protesters were peaceful and law abiding. that's the site more than $100.00 police officers

suffering injuries on the day. the poll also found almost 2 thirds of republicans believe the 2020 presidential election was stolen from trump. judges have dismissed more than 50 lawsuits challenging the election results. multiple reviews and audits have found no evidence of widespread fraud. speak to adolfo franco, who is a republican strategist and a former advisor to senator john mccain. he's joining us lie from alexandria in virginia because they're happy with us. just give me your initial thoughts on, on the hearing. well, i thought it was political theatre, but very dangerous. political theory of this is the 1st time in our 246 here history, where you have one party in the speaker, a point, every member of a committee in a commission and exclude only republican members, but deny them the leader, the republican leader, the opportunity to name republicans only 2 antitrust republicans are willing to sit on the committee supporting for years. understand that the congress is very evenly

divided over 200 republican members. oppose this commission is unconstitutional, illegitimate among them because of its constitution being just a really a kangaroo court, a soviet style kangaroo court, we're only one side of a story was told. but here's the thing. as all for frank, i mean there were video clips, sewing members of trump's own white house and campaign, as well as his own daughter vanka, trump pooh. and his son in law, jerry christner, who spoke out about that, they didn't believe trump's claims that the election was stolen so that trump's family. there is not highly embarrassing that even they seem to be turning against him. well, the claims go to the merits. i'm a lawyer, the claims are nothing to do with process, so we're concerned about rule of law and process. a process here is flawed in a book, something is flawed in a procedural in a procedure in court. the cases thrown out. so we have a kangaroo court that's,

that's what the american people are seeing this as being the case. so you're talking about that. you're also seeing 2 things are important tonight of the 1st is the republic. suppose so called republican on the committee was 13 percent approval, and her state said the following were being selected. we're, we're presenting tonight. that should be frightening to every american. there were witnesses that were on conservative media. today in the united states saying their point of view and their testimony under oath was never shown. nor was there any discussion of the pro tester who was unarmed that was shot by the police at her family. none of that. so this is a frightening one sided view. people can differ in this country, but this is the 1st time i've seen it manipulated it this way. here is the last vote on what right? go ahead. go ahead. make your last point. i apologize. yes,

you have to understand that this is being portrayed as orchestrated by president trump president trumped. first of all, in his speech, said at that day he said, let's march peacefully to the capital we in have our voices heard that was never shown today by this committee that should discredited in and of itself. secondly, 48 hours prior to january 6th. on january 4th, president trump offered the speaker of the house, nancy pelosi, a democrat in the mayor of washington, muriel boucher democrats, 20000 troops to protect the capital. they did not take that offer up the so called instigator, it was offering the protection to the capital that should be investigated. and why did that not happen? lastly, those will be true to the capital, which i saw your report here in al jazeera were actually a small number of the total numbers that were at the rally. and more importantly,

the pound boys to select groups be prosecuted, never attended the rally or saw president trump. they deployed immediately to the capitol, which is evidence. there was never a conspiracy or an instigation by prison or anything. i mean, you want to throw out the process, you want to say that the process doesn't work, but what are, what, what are about all the evidence that we heard? we heard over and over from several different people in the committee revealing testimony from again, trump's own white house officials, who said the former president did not want the u. s. capital attack to stop. i mean, are they all being untruthful? here? what about the evidence? i'm i really, frankly don't know i'm a lawyer against what the so called evidence is that you're referring to the accusation that's been made as somehow the president responsible instigating that i have seen no evidence of that. i've seen evidence contrary to that, which is again, but the people entering the capital, which was a small number, a mob who should be prosecuted, were not part of the greater rally. and secondly,

the president, calling for a peaceful protest in march, which is a constitutional right. at the same time, you have united states senator, a democratic calling of cabinet. one of our justice is, was an assassination attempt saying we're going after you and you will pay the price. that's not by once. that's not an attack on the rule of law. that's not an attack on our democracy. this is a double standard in this country. and a system is being manipulated to persecuting former president. be frightening to single america. how worried are you though about how damning and damaging all of this is for the republican party as a whole? well, when today's poll show that president biden has the lowest to google rayber ever of any american president of 33 percent, i see why they're desperate to change the narrative. but in this country, what americans are focused on, i saw nothing new tonight by the way, and i think most americans to get out are focused on the price of gasoline,

the price of food, this failed administration. i'm not worried at all. i hope you invite me back in november after the election, and i have to have like to have an interview with you to go over the numbers. a record numbers of republicans that will take over the house and senate. and that will be the answer to your question. all right, we'll take you up on that offer. thank you so much, adolfo franka for joining us for ginia. thank you. bit lighter. thank you. well, 3 people have been killed and one person is critically injured. after the latest my shooting in the u. s. the gunman opened fire at a factory in the us state of maryland. a shoot out between him and a state trooper ensued and both were injured. the suspect motive is not yet known. there have been more than 230 mass shooting so far this year in the u. s. a police officer in the u. s. state of michigan has been charged with 2nd degree murder over the fatal shooting of a black man. patrick lloyd was an immigrants from the democratic republic of congo . he was shot in the head in april after officer christopher sure,
