a tv debate on national television network and basically sparked an international control of a c, a diplomatic well, particularly with countries in the gulf region. countries like yvonne and cut their summerland indian ambassadors demanded a public apology in places like amman and quade they were called to boy caught indian made goods. now the b j. p has responded by suspending newport sharma. it has also expelled another top politician who made the last one was statements on social media. it says it a respects all religions and has issued new guidelines for party leaders to engage with the press. but critics say that the response is too little too late and have blame the b j p for fueling anti minority an anti muslim sentimental india. thousands of joints similar riley is taking place in pakistan. large crowds took to

the streets. and the hor, karachi, demanding the country's set of diplomatic ties with deli. how's yours? come on, hider isn't his love about. there is a growing feeling. head is red and de exceed men of the minority again, including the muslim, has been very ralph when it comes to that b, j. b government. they've been protest across budget on earlier the budget on prime minister was held condemning day saying that he had already spoken about the plight of the treatment of the muslims in india. and he said that this was something that didn't denies, and communities ignored all. now important goal because today august on to find the men carrion's rent in front of the india knight commission. to lord law, judge strong, rotate, and as we speak, where door that debt is a large procession taking place in the city of ra will been day, not very far from it. read so deep anger and anguish,

i father's budget on this concern and deep concern about the flight all for hundreds of millions that are over 200000000 muslims in india. and i've gotten or to speak about the other minorities offer kind of shawnee is senior editor of the indian news and opinion website. the wire. she says the prime minister must reassure muslim so that rights will be protected. any kind of violence in the name of blood amongst dition and protest should be condemned because any kind of protest and demonstration should be within the 4 walls of indian laws and constitution. but you know, we should really understand the source of this anger infestation and why it is now spilling on to the streets. it is an accumulated anger and frustration, you know, because of the failure of the state and because of the week of law in the last 8 years we've seen laws which were outright lee, a disconnect tree against them. since we've seen wilander on the streets,

whether it comes to lynching or that was him, houses being lost raised by the state agencies. so all of this is now accumulated into this angle, which is spilling onto the streets. i think what, what can be done right now is some part of it i think has been taken care of by the government when they decided to expel the to the does were responsible for making those dental get treat box a. but then also any police, they filed an f, i r a b against these 2 people. but i think what it was, it was on now demand demanding is also not just this particular case inside, but also the in general that most fear and the climate, all of the, you know, hatred of the state policies that now perfect mama was integrity to slum now he's an alternate be sped. so and you understand this emotional and religious attachment to profit, mama. so i feel at this point in time, the government should start with a drawing. the cases in comp will read more than 800 people were booked. the of

people who were, who have unfairly been booked. that's one a to the prime minister of india, a should thumb all and address the nation. i would say a particularly the 200000000 muslims. and i tried to assure them that they will, their bites and freedoms will be protected in india as guaranteed by the constitution. inflation in the united states, a set of 40 year high consumer prices jumped 8.6 percent in may compared to may last year. even more than economists, that expected, soaring petrol prices have been blamed that demand colliding with persistent supply shortages and interest rate rise is expected to come next week in response. and again in july, putting even more pressure on us households and businesses. let's go live now to our white house correspondent, kimberly how could, who's in washington? kimberly stocks down the dollars up, which is what usually happens when an interest rate rise is imminent. what's the white house say? well,

we're going to watch very carefully see what the u. s president will have to say he's out on the west coast of the united states. we expect that he will be speaking about the high inflation numbers. and these latest sort of bad news headlines for his administration. he'll be speaking from one of the busiest ports on the west coast as he continues to say that his administration is working hard to combat the problem of inflation. that is plaguing so many american households. but many americans are not listening to the president much any more, given the fact that early on in the president. so term, he said that this would be transitory and it's clear that that's not the case. you outlined that just last month. that what really seemed to be the problem that injected this said number spike for the president is the fact that energy prices are so high gas prices going up some 10 percent. what we're really seeing here,

adrian is, ah, high prices on consumer goods that we've not seen since about 981 the last time jimmy carter was president and that still leaves a bad taste and many sort of older americans mouths. they remember when it was difficult to buy food gas when there were long line ups to try and fill up the gas tank in your car. and. and so these bring back and condra bad memories and we're seeing that sort of same thing playing out again. people that are having to make tough choices, the grocery store, we have in new york city now the average price for renting an apartment is $4000.00 a month. that's a high mortgage payment. and you mentioned the interest rate prices are the interest rates that is driving many americans out of the ability to buy a home at all because of the spike in these interest rates. it makes a mortgage simply impossible. so what we're seeing is not only more and more

americans being squeezed out as the ability to pay for basic consumer goods. but we're also seeing now is, is a spike in crime because what americans are doing some americans are doing because they can't afford to pay for these basic necessities. they're starting to steal them. and what we're seeing now is a parallel economy of people selling these on the black market for those that simply can't afford to pay these high prices. so we've got a number of spin off problems that are resulting from this. so this is a problem for the, for the nation. this is also a problem for the buyer in white house. so we're going to be watching very carefully to see what joe biden has to say when he speaks from the west coast in the coming hours out 0. kimberly how good reporting live for washington. kimberly many thanks. indeed, china's defense minister way. sanger says that they jing will not hesitate to start a war over taiwan. he's been meeting you as defense. secretary, lloyd austin, the u. s. as the 1st face to face talks focused on the territory,

minister leap in long when is that? what singapore, the most important bilateral relationship. it often says the us, china, bilateral relationship, all the other countries in the region as well. there are some developments in the asia pacific, typically relating to securities, specifically pacific countries like to solomon islands, but also more recently, cambodia that has caught the attention of defense officials around the world. what comments you have on the beaching really has united states on the back, but they're developing these agreements with vote for example. and also with the call of an island, both of whom are here at the conference will be speaking tomorrow, trying to arrange for their courses to be based on those countries for perhaps short periods of time for long periods of time. a little bit unclear. and i think other countries in the region are going to want clarity from the solomon islands. think embody on what those agreements actually entail. thank you so much for those very important insights. we do expect to hear from the senate chief suppose us and china in the coming days. those features will be watched very closely by not just

blue ah, hello again this is al 0. let's remind you of the main news this out. protest as in india, pakistan, bangladesh, demanding the rest of the suspended spokeswoman of the coveting b. j. p. approach sharma was suspended on the sunday after making comments about the prophet mohammed with many consider to be offensive. inflation in the united states. is it a 40 year high consumer prices jumped 8.6 percent and may compared to the same time last year. soaring pencil prices at the blamed as well as persistence supply shortages chart as defense, but as to the so the bay jing will not hesitate to start a war over taiwan during

a meeting with the u. s. defense secretary the to meant that asia biggest security summit, washington is calling on bay ging to refrain from further destabilizing actions. south africa's president says that due process must be followed off the latest allegations of corruption of bribery against him. so ra, oppose up is accused of trying to cover up a robbery at his game farm in february that evolved billions of dollars. he says the funds will private and not public money. and that he won't be responding to result to insults all speculation. i will do all these matters consideration against the backdrop of the advice i have, but this matter should be ventilated in the proper inappropriate forms. and i repeat that the law must take its course

and due process should be the order of the day in there. and as a result, i will not right now be responding to all these matters that have been raised around to this. more from out of here is probably the middle up in johannesburg. all this goes back to the alleged criminal activity at his farm in limpopo province back in 2020. and the main concerns really around that is that allegedly are based on a criminal complaint laid by author frayza. he's the former intelligence, bossier, in south africa. he has said that between $4.00 and $8000000.00 was stolen from the president's home impala. paula, this was not reported, or when it should have been given this sum of money that was allegedly stolen. and not only that, but also members of the presidential protection unit tracked down, the thieves and tara gay to them, potentially tortured them and then paid them off to keep quiet. and so now

opposition parties, south africans in general, are wanting answers from the president. because of that large sum of money and how he may potentially be implicated in money laundering. it's really needed to be understood by many here why the president had so much money at his home. and if that a theft happened and, and, and what the implications are of not reporting it to the police. he has admitted the theft did indeed take place. but that he can account for all of that money in his home. it was due to the sale of game off opal, and that he had declared that to parliament at the time. the president though, has maintained this line for out this latest scandal in that he will not answer specific questions at the time. but he's also prepared to stand before the african national congress as his parties ethics committee to answer whatever questions they might have and attempted to at a brazen attempt to overthrow the government. that's how a u. s. congressional committee as described last year's attack on capitol hill.

the hearing is also investigating donald trump's continuing denials that he lost the 2020 presidential election. how did you crush through reports now for washington? oh, this is what police saw on january 6th, 2021. when they were overwhelmed by a mob trying to overturn president donald trump's election defeat capital police officer carol and edward was the 1st of many officers to be injured. 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 while riders vandalized the capital and threatened to kill members of congress. trump was watching it all unfold on tv from the white house. according to committee,

investigators trump ignored please from advisors and trapped members of congress to call off the riders. aware of the rioters chance to hang mike pence, the president responded with this sentiment quote, maybe our supporters have the right idea. mike pence quote, deserves it. committee investigators also argued that a trump tweet in december was the impetus for far right groups to plan the insurrection. showing videotape depositions of writers, confirming their motives, he personally asked for us to come to dc that. and i thought, for everything he's known for us. if it's the only thing he can go after me, i'll do all of us here today. then there was the ongoing effort led by trump to falsely claim the election had been stolen. the committee showed video of den attorney general bill bar testifying that the claim was in fact a lie. i made it clear. i did not agree with the idea of saying the election was

stolen and putting out the stuff which i told the president was both. and i, you know, i didn't want to be a part of it. investigator say trump didn't listen, but his daughter yvonne cut told them she did. i respect attorney general bar. so a accepted what he sent was sent, according to the committee chairman, taken as a whole, the riot and the efforts to overturn the election was nothing short of a coup attempt. a 1st in american history, 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. then republican leaders in congress remain the former presidents defenders. in fact, it is the most political and least legitimate committee in american history. it is

used congressional subpoenas to attack republicans violate due process and infringe on the political speech a private citizen. this was just the explosive beginning to a half dozen more public hearing scheduled for his mind. there promised a feature more testimony from former trump aides, who threatened to resign and believe from was too dangerous to leave by himself. in the waiting days of his presidency. heidi jo, castro, al jazeera washington, the u. k. government plan to send asylum seekers to rwanda is facing a legal challenge. london's high court is hearing arguments from human rights groups, which say the policy is unlawful. the calling for court injunction to stop the 1st flights from the you case rwanda, which are scheduled for next week. georgia donna is a professor of forced migration and refugee studies of the university of east london. she says the policy is unlawful. anybody will be crossing

the board? does it? i'm documenting my dog just the 1st of january to be sent to land and most refugee will come to the country. i've seen countries of war, so i put in some of them don't even when they applied for the side, 90 percent of their being rented asylum. so they can be from any country in the world and they will be deported. took place where they don't know. busy the language, the cards where they don't want to go, and some of that will have collections would be paid. so they'd be in a way, even if they had to send the claim to 20 days vacation, that may be monitored by these pharmacy. the british government claims that this is a way to deter smarter than traffic comes from the from and i think people across the board. but we know from be such that usually people are free countries of coffee will not be deterred by such policies and the u. k government has already been in the range of what had been described as host bottom

and policies toward my son seekers. and he said now that people come across the board, and on the contrary, reducing the goals for, for cleaning upside them, increases the document you go because people don't have the opportunity to apply to the secular program, cetera, et cetera. and so they will try and whatever way they can to seek safety. u. k. foreign secretary list trust as the death sentences against 2 british men by a pro russian caught a breaches of the geneva convention. the 2 men at american man were fighting for ukraine. they were convicted of being most reason the separatist held region in the east trust disgust, ways to secure their release with ukrainian counterpart, but russia's foreign minister says the men committed crimes will not only my mom at the moment, the process mentioned is based on the legislation of the don, yes. people's republic because the crimes we're talking about,
