before the january 6 riot at the u. s. capital far right. protesters some who would later turn violent in washington. he legally occupied the state capitol building in arizona. joe biden won the swing states, but donald trump and his supporters refused to accept defeat trumps attorney rudy giuliani called arizona's republican house speaker, demanding help to overturn the results. he would say, aren't we all republicans here? i said, look, you are asking me to do something that is child or to my oath. trump also lost in the swain state of georgia. he himself of called the states top election official republican brad reference burger. i guess one of mine for 11780 loves, which is one more that we have. what i knew is that we didn't have any votes to find very good. robins, bircher testified that he and his family suffered harassment from, from supporters,

including sexually explicit messages to his wife and someone breaking in to his daughter in law's home. and i think sometimes moments required you to stand up and just take the shots. we just followed along, we followed the constitution and at the end of the day president trump came up short. trump also turned up the pressure on to every day americans, mother and daughter election workers in georgia. falsely accusing them of counting fake ballots. we have at least $18000.00 that's on pay. we had them counted very heavily 18000 having to do with the roomy freeman that issued a gamer, of professional votes, scammer and hustler. do you know how it feels to have the president of the united states that target you the president of the united way?

it's supposed to represent every american not to target one. but he, i get it. me and investigation has cleared both women of wrongdoing and widespread voting fraud was never found in any state our democracy held because courageous people like those you heard from today, put their oath to the constitution above their loyalty to one man or to one party. the system held but barely, and the question remains, will it hold again, even before tuesday's hearing began, trump hosted on his website that his phone call pressuring georgia secretary of state to find votes was, quote, perfect. he called the january 6th committee, crazy democrats. and again, falsely alleged that the election was stolen. heidi jo, castro, al jazeera washington. jennifer victor is a professor of political science at george mason university. she explains that the

justice department doesn't need these public hearings to pursue a criminal investigation against donald trump. the justice department doesn't need this public spectacle in order to gather their evidence or to determine whether or not they have cases that they could bring forward. the congress could collect that evidence and present it to d o. j or d, j could presented on their own collected on their own without this the series of public hearings. and so maybe the fact that there are public hearings going on of the sort that are very polished, that are very well put together that are presenting extremely coherent and concise narrative on very specific questions relating to january 6. it may suggest that what capital hill or what congress are those involved in the hearings are hoping for is more of a public campaign where, where other actors, where, where the public or advocates or the news media might put pressure on

d o. j to help bring things forward. most of the way that people already think about those events is baked into the electoral calculus if you will, at this point. and i don't think this is in any way being presented by democrats as a way to try to affect the outcome of the mid term elections. if that was the case that we do witness in october, not in june, most people who are watching have already already have some strong opinions about what happened on january 6th. i take this more as the, the leaders on capitol hill are bringing this forward because it's the right thing to do. because after january 6 insurrection occurred, congress was unable to use its constitutional powers to impeach and remove the president from office, and to prevent donald trump from running for office. again. a senior official overseeing the police and texas says, officers response to the vault a school shooting was an abject failure. the director of the texas department of public safety told state officials that the police could have stopped the shooting

bangladesh has sent troops to try to help millions of people trapped by flood waters in northeastern areas. the government is struggling to get drinking water and food to those effective a russian territory in the baltics has emerged as a new frontier of tensions between moscow and the e. u over ukraine. russia has threatened lithuania with serious consequences after it halted rail transit of several sanctioned goods to colon and grot. dominic cane has more from the german capital berlin. this is the main port in colleen in grat. it's facilities are important to the russian economy. for this is the only all year round ice freeport, the country, has on the baltic sea. many products essential for the local population in the russian exclaimed, come by sea, but many more come by land and are now being stopped. and if people in the stalls are to be believed, e u sanctions are hurting christner. it's a story. i think we should pack up our belongings and leave because you can't go

anywhere. this has never happened. i think not only me how many people are planning it now or even regretting that they are living in cleaning garage, reaching out to you. those sanctions target specific items that transit you territory, in this case fire rail through lithuania, to and from russia that sanctioned goods, e, steel, and other arg was made from iraq law will no longer be allowed to transit's early train. it is done with consultation for the europe. we're european commissioner and under the european commission guidelines. in many ways. coleen ingram is a historical anomaly once part of what was called east prussia taken by the soviet union from nazi germany at the end of world war 2. then became part of the wider you ssr. but when that country died in the early 19 ninety's, the russian federation chose to hold on to colleen in grad and so it became an exclaim, separated from russia proper by the newly independent baltic states. which helps

explain why officials in moscow are so agitated by the impact of sanctions. and have warned the people of lithuania to expect retaliation for their government's actions at that premium. because this example shows that you cannot trust either a verbal statement by the west or written ones. no, russia will certainly respond to such hostile actions about appropriate measures are being worked out between departments and will be taken in the near future. their consequences will have a serious negative impact on the population of lithuania. while it's a threat, some lithuanians have long anticipated baltic renters differently from many other countries of european union. didn't have any illusions about that rule or attempts and they d, as so fracture a threat to one or all of the baltic states would constitute a threat to nato. many in the atlantic alliance maintain an armed presence there. this was the german chancellor visiting his country soldiers in lithuania just 2

i'm coming from palestine over i was supposed to dictate when to suffer. crosby council for time. on thursday it was fine by now, going to 7th, this does is going to take me very, very long. the journey between one and a half hours. it's not an everybody like message on the group, but that is heavy traffic on the road just for lexi and only around 20 percent of the normal services running. and only on half of the network, mainly the lines running into big cities in many rural and regional areas. there is no train service at all. the dispute between the r m t rel union and the employers network rail and the train operating companies is largely of a pay and the impact of inflation on work is wages. but the government, which directly finance is network rail, has also ordered it to find 2 and a half $1000000000.00 of savings. network rail says that's possible if staff accept

new working practices. but the union says that will means 3000 job losses and jeopardize safety. they want to rip up our terms of conditions that we've negotiated with the companies. they're even threatening to lower pay an extend work hours in the train operating companies. and the majority of our members have not had a pay increase for 2 to 3 years. so we've got a lot of problems. we will continue to do all we can to find that sweet spot to compromise, but it's affordable for, for the employer to fordable for the taxpayer. affordable for the fire fire. and the are empty and our employees can live with at his regular meeting of cabinets, prime minister boris johnson, branded the strikes is unnecessary and wrong. he called on the british public to stay the course during what's expected to be a lovely disruption. u. k. economy is experiencing the combined effects of rex it to war and ukraine and its effect on energy costs, as well as the inflationary pressure of the post pandemic recovery. and railway is

not the only ones complaining. the r m. p is one of britain's strongest union. some might say, most militants have unions with their ability to paralyze the rail network during an industrial dispute. but the concerns that the r n t have race about the difference between peoples pay packets and the cost of living at the moment. the rate of inflation are shared across many different industries and other professions teachers, doctors, nurses, local government workers, all have pay deals in the pipeline with the government and they're likely to be offered less than the rate of inflation. and that means a summer of discontent is looming, poll brennan, i'll just sarah waterloo station. molly's military rulers have declared 3 days of national mourning. that's after fighters killed $132.00 people and several villages . witnesses say was a revenge attack? nicholas hawk is in senegal. he explains what's behind the violence to the attack. took place in the early hours of 5 o'clock in the morning over the weekend. and

villagers were woken up to the sound of both gunfire and the smell of smoke. why smoke or because the attackers lit their village is made up of such rooms and mud homes on the fire. and the administrator that we spoke to says that many of those that have died were in that fire. and he fears that the death toll is likely to rise. now whilst there has been no group that has officially claimed responsibility over this attack, while the 1000000 authorities point the finger towards an okay to affiliate jeremiah. and to the slum one with the mean and more specifically, a preacher of philosophy preacher, i'm a do cooper, who had an organization called massena, catawba. why? well, because there's been in that area which is the center of molly grievances, between fulani herders and local farmers. this is the beginning of the rainy season . the country has gone months without rain and philosophy herders are trying to find places to grease their land, often encroaching towards in farmland. and so these arm groups linked to al

qaeda have exacerbated, are using these existing grievances pitting people against each other. during this attack, villagers called for help and they called the 1000000 authorities, the police, the un peacekeeping force. or despite the presence of a un peacekeeping force, just 2 hours away on a helicopter to the side of the attack, despite the 1000000 forces, despite the presence of russian fighters nearby. well, none of them intervene. so there is a sense of anger and frustration among the local villagers that not enough is being done to try to tackle the situation. interestingly, the french that had a military base in mexico, in the region where this attack took place, just handed over that military base to 1000000 forces. so they could have intervene . but they didn't. i said there are so many questions. there are left unanswered and there's 3 days of national morning. a government official of from bama co is it
