turkey has agreed to support finland and sweden in the bid to join nato, clearing the polish for major shift in european security. the breakthrough came on the eve of the military alliance is summit in madrid. the nordic countries have been neutral for decades, but push for membership all to russia invaded ukraine. turkey had originally threatened to block the application. turkey yo, fillum and sweden. however, 5 of them are on them. that addresses trickiest concerns, including around arms exports, on the 4th against the partisan. noah has suffered more brutally toasts with hearts dr. kia, including from the texas group, p k. k. town hall has more for mentored. around of tripod talks this afternoon between turkey, mr. brown and the leaders of finn and suite and clearly produced

a breakthrough. the 3 signed a memorandum, a memorandum quote to extend their full support against threats to each other's security. jim stocum, burge hailing the successful search for common ground. he said, nato has resolved its differences now. turkey had been the only hold out among the 32 members against this bid by sweden and finland to join on the basis. mister, i do, i'm said of the 2 noted countries providing a safe haven for kurdish militant groups and it is not clear exactly what has been agreed here in terms of addressing that particular issue. nor is it entirely clear whether perhaps some other concessions may have been part of the deal. what we do know, of course, is that this allows nato to put forward a united front in the face of russian aggression. and that is absolutely core and central to the aims of this summit, not just a united front, but an expanded front with 2 new members. now mr. started back saying the political

decision has been made finland and sweden giving up their traditional military neutrality. as i said in the face of the war, new crime, ukraine's president wants the united nations to expel russia. law demands landscape addressed the security council a day after russian missile strike on a shopping center in the ukrainian city of clement choke killed 18 people. lensky presented video, which he says, shows the building was the intended target. mosca says it fired missiles at a nearby weapons, but a subsequent explosion to get a fire at the more or the war ukraine has dominated a summit of the well 7 richest nations, g 7 latest pledged 4 and a half $1000000000.00 to fight growing hunger conflicts pushes our label, feed prices. the commitment was made during the final day of the meeting in southern germany, steff austin reports. it was a summary of strong language emit scenic views. leaders of the 7 highest income

country stressed how united they are in the condemnation of russia's war in ukraine . missile attacks on q and a crowd, a supermarket in common, took taking place during the summit, only increased their anger. we hadn't fighter, we will continue to hold up and drive up the economy and political cost of this war for president putin and his regime to that. and it's important to stand together also during the long haul. and that will surely be at stake here to learn interesting. and we will also resolutely counter the russian narrative that this is actually a conflict with we're only the west and the so called global wes if condemning this attack. and otherwise, the world is watching what russia is actually doing. that is not the case, isn't leaders. acknowledge the fall out of the war is increasingly been felt around the world and needs urgent action. but they sat little about a possible solution to a russian blockade of ukrainian grain. an additional $4500000000.00 package to

protect people around the world against hunger is seen by 8 organizations as disappointing focuses on the warranty, ukraine. and they found billions and billions of dollars for that. and they haven't found the money that we need to find hunger for their own. communicate is that over 323000000 people worldwide, a new record could face salvation in the next few months. 4 and a half $1000000.00 is a drop in the ocean for that. so it's a real finding by the g 7 with the war and ukraine and the energy crisis, taking nearly all their attention. the main loser here seems to be the climate. a german lat, reversal on a band for public funding on fossil fuels is seen by environmental as a real setback. while still, depending on russian fossil fuels for their energy supply, g 7 lead us appeared more concerned with lowering energy prices and trying to reduce rushes, large profits on oil and gas. they agreed to investigate whether to impose

a controversial price cap on russian oil less. additionally, we had, they will be able to present fuel. the situation is absurd. the rising global energy prices helps to fund the war in russia. that's the reality. so the idea to kept prices is a very good one. the difficulty is a technical one. russian oil doesn't flow only through one pipe, it's sold in several countries. and if you will be with many crises on resolve, the leaders are traveling to madrid, to join other nato partners at a summit which will determine the future of the alliance. steadfast m l g 0 in garbage barton, kia him, a former aide to the white house chief of staff has testified before house select committee. cassidy hutchinson has said then you as president, donald trump was told people at his. riley were armed with guns and knives. she also said trump tried to take the steering wheel of the white house limousine when he was told it was not taking him to the capitol. how did you catch her faults?

but said she heard it from tony or nato, the former white house chief of operations and with angle present. the president of the anecdote was the most startling of many shared by the former white house ada, today's hearing one that was urgently announced after the committee said it received new evidence for the white house of police audio from january 6 reveal guns had been spotted among the crowd gathered near trumps rally hutchinson said backstage she heard trump said the event should not have had metal detectors. i ever heard the president say something i don't, i think that they have weapons. they're not here to hurt me. the ensuing violence contributed to the death of at least 7 people, and injured a $150.00 police officers. hutchinson said she watched the riot unfold from the white house, just doors down from trump. she recounted this conversation between her boss, chief of staff, mark meadows and the white house of top lawyer. i remember saying mark,

we need to do something more. there literally calling for the vice presidency. i think han and mark had responded something to see if you've heard him had he thinks like a girl that he doesn't think they're doing anything wrong. the he was trump. according to hutchinson testimony, she said, trump was reluctant when he called off the riders. more than 3 hours into the violence, we have to have peace. so go home, we love you, you're very special. trump weighed in on tuesdays hearing, saying he hardly knows hutchinson and denied many of the accusations. hutchinson also says meadows and trumps former personal attorney, rudy giuliani. both thought presidential pardons and she says many members of trump's inner circle were concerned that the cabinet would use the 25th amendment to remove trump from office. committee member say they've seen concerning signs of

witness tampering. the plan at least 2 more of these hearings. in july, heidi joe castro al jazeera washington talks between the ecuadorian government and indigenous groups and a nationwide fuel strike have been suspended because the government says a military convoy was attacked. discussions in the capital, kito, wood, g to regime on tuesday, they were cooled off, off to one soldier was killed and 12 others injured. a government accused destroyed leaders of terrorism. they said there's no proof, indigenous amazonian, we're behind the attack. michael shifter is president of the entire american dialogue. he says, stole talks, could plunge ecuador into further crisis. well, unfortunately, right now, the situation is critical and both sides are intransigent of the government. start . i was want to deal with con, i the indigenous organization and the endeavor, so she doesn't want to deal with the government. so we're at an impart pass and

this was extremely unfortunate. i'm an, an indefensible killing of a, of ecuador and soldier, and the via the put their protests, which i think reflects some real, legitimate grievances of indigenous groups that are clearly suffering. but resort to violence is, is not a way to, to, to resolve these, these problems. so the dialogue has as collapsed for the time being. hopefully, it will be reserved for many, many years. corn i was always seen as perhaps, almost a model indigenous organization in terms of really aggregating the demands of indigenous groups in ecuador, and also it's been able to get this far because of the weakness of the government. let's forget, let's, let's remember that the loss of government, which has been office a little over a year are really has lost a lot of support. and it did very well in dealing with the, with the pandemic and

a successful vaccination campaign. but now it's really lost, a lot of support has been able to, to form a coalition to govern the country. so its agenda is completely blocked and paralyzed in congress. and so that one has to understand that this indigenous movement is taking advantage of very weak government and a very weak president. still ahead on al jazeera will every action know to form a british. so slight delay in max was jail. 20 years for sex trafficking and i got the streets have gone as capital purchased is called the government to tackle the voice in cost of living. ah, the journey has begun the full world copies on its way to the castle. travel package to the hello there for the middle east and levant. it is
