oh, when ever you oh, the shake um odd award for translation and international understanding is accepting nominations for the year 2022 from february 15th until august, 15th this year. for more information go to w, w, w dot h t a dot q a slash e n. ah. ah sir, lying because in battle president pleased the country hours before his promised resignation . his military jet has just landed in the old eve.

ah, clubs who robin you watching on desert life? my headquarters here in the hall. so coming up the committee investigating last year as attack on the us capital is told donald from plan to lead the march of its supporters that make it look fontane, and also lifelines and millions of display syrians, the u. an approved cross border 8th into rebel health areas, but only for 6 months and under russian pressure. also a deep dive into the cosmos. the 1st pictures from nasa's james webb telescope reveal a sea of galaxies and signs of water. in one of them. i think we begin with breaking news coming out just relying where the president go to by roger boxer has fled the country following mass protests over the country's

economy crisis. roger pucker and his wife bought the military pay plane bound for them. all these, even in hiding since crowds store the presidential palace on saturday, protest leaders had warned they would be massive demonstrations if the president and the prime minister did not step down by wednesday when alpha and as has more from the capital, colombo, the president, obviously succeeding in his attempts to leave the country of the people have been keeping a close eye over the last 24 hours to various reports that president good. roger fox was trying literally to lead the country as that deadline for his resignation. the 13th of july came closer. now, there are a couple of things that are due on the 14th of july, the supreme court of this country had listed for hearing a petition by transparency international. the sort of corruption watchdog that would look into accountability and factors in

a petition filed again for the president and his brothers that also required for him to be prevented from traveling overseas. so all of these things were sort of closing in. and if you looked at the massive groundswell against the president urging him to step down the other day, people over running his official residence and his office, it was just a matter of time before that net closed in. so president, good job. roger pox basically reported to have tried all avenues. the poor to different apple is to try to fly out and even sort of facing a really big pushback from the people. even the immigration officials had refused to stamp a passport of his some of his entourage and things like that causing delays that made him mrs. flights. that's to the mid least leo was what report said. so finally, now we're hearing that he has arrived in the motives the latest congressional

hearing on the january 6. the tackle the u. s. capital had focused on an oval office meeting described, described as unhinged committee. investigators are trying to draw connections between associates of former president, donald trump, and right wing groups who stole the building. she had returns, he has more from washington dc. the committee has meticulously presented a narrative charting donald trump's refusal to accept the presidential election results of 2020. they argue that he began the campaign targeting state elections. officials and the department of justice and them vice president mike pence. in previous hearing, several senior figures in trump circle of testify that there was no case to be made . the election was free and fair. and on tuesday, the committee played testimony from the white house legal council explaining he felt the same way at some point to put up or shot. and right now, once legal challenges had been exhausted and the electoral college met on december, the 14th to certify joe biden was the president elect trump held what was described

as an unhinged meeting on the 18th pitting whitehouse staff against trumps. informal set of advisors who are advocating seizing voting machines, for example, what they were proposing. i thought was nuts getting. i'm going to categorically. describe it as you guys are not tough enough. i'm happy with his options, the committee argues vance. when trump decided to quote some of the mob the tweet in the early hours of the 19th of december, trump sent out the tweet. with his explosive invitation. trump repeated his big lie and claimed it was, quote, statistically impossible to have lost the 2020 election before calling for a big protest in d. c. on january 6th. be there will be wild tweet, mobilize right when paramilitary groups like the proud boys on the earth keepers. now they had a date to focus on theirs. they tend to overturn the election according to the

committee, one former official and the earth keepers who did not take part in the right. so there was the potential for even worse outcomes. i think we need to quit mincing words and just talk about truths and what it was going to be was an armed revolution for the tweet, also mobilized, rank and file from supporters who have no information to any group. the committee did not present any evidence that trump actively coordinated the rights, but the committee members keep on suggesting that there was a convergence of interests. next week's hearing will be about trump's reaction to the right and the growing 5th of those around him. in addition, committee members amount, so they'd seen what they felt was more evidence of the long term, but something to tampa with witnesses to the committee. she everytime see al jazeera capitol hill. dr. barton is taking his 1st visit to the middle east as us president. his 1st stop is israel, where security has been boosted for his arrival, biden's visit code science with a time of political upheaval in israel. he'll also visit the occupied westbank

despite fading hopes of a piece of cold between israel and the palestinians. stephanie decker reports the last time president joe biden was here in the region was in 2010 in his capacity as vice president trying to revive talks, which in these ratings and the palestinians. but just hours after landing here, these really government announced the construction of a $1600.00 new subtler units here that are much slomo. according to reports had left joe biden furious and publicly stated, this was very much against what was needed to rebuild trust between the 2 sides. well now he returns as president, no much loma has turned into a massive illegal settlement. no settlements have continued to expand both here in the occupied west bank and an occupied east jerusalem at sight. it is one of the main obstacles to peace by the palestinians. and under the previous tromp administration, this was never criticized. but under biden, washington is taking a stronger stands. president biden, however, comes here at

a time. this really political turmoil. he'll be meeting with the intern prime minister yellow p to could no longer be prime minister with my following november's elections. and it'll also be meeting with opposition leader benjamin netanyahu. a man he's known for a very long time. but you clearly look to go by den will also be meeting with the palestinian present mahmoud abbas here in bethlehem, where it's impossible to miss the wall. really the symbol of israel's longstanding occupation and effort to restrict the freedom of movement of the palestinian people . but give ministration has made it clear that this trip is more about integrating israel into the region rather than reviving long stalled peace talks. but rummy curry is the director of global engagement of the american universities. they root . he says, joe biden faces an uphill battle in the region. the real dilemma is that vitamin is trying to continue with a process that 4 or 5 previous american presidents are used in the middle east,

unsuccessfully in most cases. and that means to try to create a coalition of arab israeli, american, and some other western parties that work together to push back against some enemy, the enemy of the day. today, the enemy of iran, before it used to be isis before, that it used to be a radical iraq and syria. before that, it was the soviet union before that it was a car that now you've also got russia and china into the mix of people to be pushed back the, the american foreign policy that tries to use this method doesn't work because it doesn't focus on the fundamental interest and rights of the, of the 460000000 arabs and the predominant or region. and the things that they're trying to do are largely not totally, but largely the american policy is largely driven by what is good for israel,

which barton himself said, that's why i'm going to start with that for donors to the american political parties. and what's good for logging, roads, represent domestic and international. why was in the states for democratic senators in the us have sent a letter to the secretary of state demand. the answers about a review of the killing of origins, their agenda, sri number actually the senate to say the security coordinators review doesn't live up to entities. lincoln's coal for an independent and credible investigation. the democratic signatories to the letter of christ on holland, christ murphy, patrick lay. he and dick durbin sharina actually was short in the had a report on israeli raids in the occupied west bank. so the school counsellors also passed resolution to extend cross board a deliveries into serious last rebel held region, but only for 6 months. permission for shipments from turkey into northwestern, syria expired on monday after russia vetoed an attempt to renew the mandate for

another year. diplomatic added to james faith has more from the united nations. after days of uncertainty, the security council renewed permission for humanitarian aid to flow from turkey into syria. but with just 6 months, it was deeply controversial. the u. k. france and the u. s. abstained a resolution with a 12 month timeline, which is what the un and agencies requested was defeated on friday when russia used it's vito. the vote we took this morning as what happens when one council member takes the entire security council hostage with the lives of syrian men, women, and children hanging in the balance. the resolution that was finally passed was very similar to the one russia had itself proposed on friday. then 13 out of 15 council members had voted against it, norway and ireland introduced the new version that festival. this was not a decision taken on the basis of a russian draft to day. this was

a cold van holder, russia air ireland and to norway, se draft now just the words different. i think on the face of it, you may look at that and say that change, but you know that the devil is in the detail. and i think if you look at the checks, there are significant differences. what is different is a pause requiring the un security general antonio good terrorist to provide report on the age situation. by december, he gave me his reaction to the new resolution. we have been asking for the renewal of a cross bar to the point as it is essential for, for the people in italy. it's a matter of life and there are many of them there. we have asked for a renewal of her whenever the secret was 6 months, but i strongly hope that after the 6 months or it will be renewed, the head of the human rights group. amnesty international says the events of recent

days show the work of the security council is now virtually paralyzed after he will donald a different system, the security council, as well as he's clearly demonstrating that she has upon the end of its path right now. something else need to come up with just a 6th month extension. members of the security council will have to re negotiate humanitarian aid in syria in january. that's a time of year when conditions are particularly tough for people in northern syria because of the harsh wintery weather. james bayes al jazeera of the united nations murphy braces a board member of james, tom foundation, that a former us ambassador to azerbaijan. he says russia has a strategic interest in blocking the resolution. well, my 1st reaction is thank goodness, 2nd reaction is, yeah, russia won this round of diplomacy. nothing really matters who want to ross, but you know, russia, instrumental eyes is the rest of the world. desire to do humanitarian good. and in

this case, if i got a 2nd bite and a 3rd bite at the apple, by now only having a 6 month for you also that 6 months from now, russia can try to extract something else from the international community when the rest of us are totally desperate in winter to get that such badly needed humanitarian aid to those people. in northwest syria, russia was playing a game of chicken with the international community. it knew that it could force through its draft and the draft that it once was basically to make it more difficult for humanitarian assistance to get into northwest syria without the help of the assad machine. and so it passed now because the rest of the world realize we have to get this a to these, the people who are suffering and are quite serious so. so the rest of the world blinked, and i really meant, you know, the united states, united kingdom, france, and charity council. it's a brutal tactic by russia and i experienced it when i was still with us government

. every year we had to renew un peacekeeping operation in georgia, after which our, during which russia invaded and occupied northwest georgia. well, stella had here on al jazeera. we look at how apps that enabled children to learn from home during coven 19 lockdown. expose them to danger. also struggling with long hughes, los bags and late departures. london heathrow airport announces a daily camp on passengers to stay with the journey has begun the faithful world copies on its way to catherine book. your travel package today. the seasonal rain is turned heavy on its way out of charlotte into the korean peninsula to just top up the rate on the wet is month in

sol. anyway, this is part of the seasonal law that will eventually go across to japan and started to say, what will around south of that has got quite halt and particularly shanghai martin . there's a 40 degrees. it will stay that way until the thunderstorms arrive and start to cool things down. significant raining that japan seems to suggest flash flooding all landslide risk. this is comes thursday and his shanghai for you to emphasize the point. the record is $40.00. we forecasting 40, so it's getting close to it. the average is of obviously lower than that, we get down towards that average by the thunderstorms arriving by the weekend. that the next band of rain, that is fairly steady. now will therefore cause a flood risk or does cause a flood risk is in the philippines and running across to in the china, particularly me and my talent, some degree, cambodia. and you'll notice to the ways it all the band archipelago looks quite wet . for india, the concentration of rain is across the middle goer and up through by her astra and east was to, was telling,

got to and up to was good. you're right. it's not dry. elsewhere, but it's nothing like as wet cast away the official line of the journey. how much will we have to pay you for the go? one, the scan more than slavery in the u. k is enormous. we just seen the tip of the iceberg . we heard it's called the more than say, react, surrounded with cameras. you can punch someone in the storm. i haven't. companies need to start to understand that this is exploitation. if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. and there are some very, very nice people at the al jazeera, investigate britain, modern slave trade. oh, the me

kill watching on there, at least from the reminder of all top stories. so long because president said the country following mass protest over the countries economic crisis. got the bio japan accent and his wife or did a military plane bound hold of all these people hiding? it's called storm the presidential palace on saturday. also member of the us to hold the can party of accused donald trump of witness tampering. miss cheney says, trump tried to call a witness that was talking to the panel, investigating masters attack on capitol hill. now the hearings will be focusing on an oval office meeting and aid described. and unhinged. the security council is extended a course for a delivery system into serious last rebel health region, but only for 6 months. the last authorization expired on monday to russia, vetoed a proposed one year extension. human rights watch says technology

used full remote learning during the code. 19 pandemic could have been used together. private information about children, the rights roots as 40 9 governments approved education technology, which could breach the privacy of children, the products harvested information about the child. that occasion, that families and friends as well as what they did in the classroom. $145.00 products had the technology to monitor, including outside school hours. hey young, who is a research or an advocate in the children's rights division that human rights watch . and she says, many governments neglected to check the safety of the apps that they endorsed. what we found was out of a $163.00 as tech products that we investigated. and we investigated about $300.00 companies around the globe. we found that an overwhelming majority were collecting children's information in ways that they shouldn't or had nothing to do with their education. so to break down just a little bit,

what that means is these data, these at tech products were surveilling, children gathering information as to who these children were, where they were living, what they were doing on the internet. and even things like the device that their families could afford for them to use. and very few governments checked whether the products that they were recommending were safe for children to use that all. and again, just you've been explanation or an illustration of what that means. some of the acts we looked at could collect precise location data. and what that means is through a child's mobile phone, they were able to figure out a child exact location to about 5 meters. and what that really means is, remember, during the early days of the panoramic, every one was at home freshly children. so that meant that these apps were suddenly

able to figure out where children bedrooms were, where they're living were essentially where children were spending the most amount of time. ukrainian forces say they've destroyed a russian military, ammunition depot in the southern city of neva, kafka in cash, and reach of some nearby residential buildings have also been damaged. keith has called on civilians to these parts of the region of fisher reports now from keith. this see the ukrainians is the destruction of an army depot. it's thought you supplied. high mars rockets were launched that the site in the russian controlled region of cash song, the ukranian c. 52 russian soldiers were also killed. but the most go back to thought it is claim it was a fertilizer store, and 7 civilians have died. i'll just either cannot independently confirm either claim pictures taken in the daylight give some idea of the damage caused the u. s. has been rushing miss our systems to ukraine, believing they can help push back russian forces. one us sen,

arge congress to st. more and send them quickly when people understand only ask about our support from ukraine. our taxpayer funded aid to the tune of billions of dollars. they deserve to know that they're harder and taxpayer dollars have being spent wisely. in my view, that means many and on weapons like high mars, they're actually making a difference on the battlefield. the russians are believed to be in an operational pause in the east of the country, ready to push on and take the rest of the don bus region. the pause is to restock refueling re supply, but that becomes much more difficult if the ukrainians are able to target and successfully destroy ammunition dumps. some analysts say the rocket system could significantly delete russian progress. the ukranian president says he's glad to have them. i want to thank the united states of america for it's deficient to provide ukraine with a new 400000000 dollar defense assistance package. additional home hours and other

precision weapons allow us to take anti terrorist steps. they allow us to reduce russian strikes with their missiles on our people are given. but the us believes the russians are also restocking coming to the iranians for u e. b, 's, or unmanned drones or in the information indicate that the iranian government is preparing to provide russia with up to several 100. u. a. b 's including weapons capable you avi's on an expedite expedited timeline. the u. s. insist moscow has failed and it's mean strategic objectives in ukraine. but those in the east are bracing themselves for me to rush in offensive. that could come in just stays. allen fisher. i'll just either keep. while the finance ministers have given courage, show the final approval to adopt the euro currency from next year is the 1st expansion of the currency blog can almost 8 years. the last country to join, the european single currency area was lithuania in 2015. now the move came

on a day when the euro hit parity with the us dollar. it's the lowest valuation since 2002. now the company's fall is being driven by phase of a global recession. investors anxious about a lack of grade across the years own that also concerns as applies of russian gas might be cut due to the war in ukraine. natasha butler has moved from paris for the year, has been falling since the beginning of the year. but the 1st time in 2 decades, the exchange rate between the euro and the dollar is pretty much the same. and there are a number of reasons for that high inflation, which is being fueled by the war in ukraine, added to that of course, ongoing concerns in europe over energy supplies, as you're tries to win itself for fresh and gas. but he's also concerned about russia cutting its existing gas supplies. on top of that, the u. s. federal reserve typed up interest rates much faster than the european

central bank. and all that is meant that the dollar is much stronger. it's a much safer bet for investors, particularly as some analysts say that the euro could continue to fall in the coming weeks. no london's busiest airport is announced at a limit, the number of departing passengers to 100000 a day for the next 2 months before the pandemic, the average number of debbie passengers at heathrow was more than double at little forward, he se airlines and ground stuff can't cope with the recent rise in passenger numbers under charlton is the managing director of aviation advocacy. he says he throw has written to airlines and told them not to operate certain flights. what's gonna happen is by emitting the number of passengers. the airport thinks that it's baggage systems and its ability to cope will, will be much better if it cuts against it's absolutely in the face of that sort of market demand. so it's going to be very unpopular, but he try me on every flight. i know exactly which craft he's coming in,

and so he try and of course they also charge per passenger alive. and so he had the so what they've done is written to airlines and, and told them, told them that they must not oper right, various flights. generally, going to wait on that have more than one fly. the die to particular destination is a nice place on the operate 16 lives and try to limit it that way at 100 a line. so it's a gift because of course what they have to do, what they are allowed to help is if they use the number 6, they're offering limited, they can improve the price. it's like an increase. the prices is a good solution. it's an interim solution. it's better than the chaos we're currently seeing and better than the holidays that are being roll them. so it's very much an interim solution when it's clear that we need to get back to normal operations and stuff so that no one was ready for his massive search when,

when the patients will, over the, sorry when the, when the restrictions and the, and the health measures will lift it, and so it's, it's better than nothing that's a terrible, lots of, it's better than nothing. 8 candidates have made it onto the balance, hoping to replace boris johnson as the leader of the case. conservative party, for which on service you see knock is the favorite. now he kicked off his campaign on tuesday, promising honesty, after a series of votes. the next prime minister will be announced on september. the 5th, or the johnson stepped down following internal pressure over the series of scandals . the mystery and the majesty faraway galaxies have come into sharp focus for the 1st time. and that's after the nasa released images from the new james web space telescope, the most powerful to be launched into orbit rob rentals, reports, size enormous galaxies locked in a cosmic dance, billions of stars, and planets,

300000000 light years from earth. this is one of the spectacular images taken by the web space telescope unveiled for the 1st time. what you're seeing is just a week's worth of data. think what we're going to learn in 20 years. i think of the answers that we're going to get to the questions. we don't even know enough to know what the questions are to them. and in the process, we're going to learn more about who we are, what we are, what is our existence in this cosmos, ah, we are looking back in time almost to the beginning. the image of the so called stephens quintet chose to galaxies, colliding and merging with one another, impelled by the force of gravity. one of the galaxies features a bright spot. scientists have identified as an active black hole,

the gas and dust lighting up as it spills into the gravitational event horizon. this image shows a stellar nursery with brightly shining new stars being born at the edge of a vast region of gas and dust. this is the corina nebula, which is part of our own milky way galaxy. the level of detail showing structures and bubbles in the enormous cloud is finer than any other telescope is capable of. this image shows a dying binary star surrounded by super heated hydrogen gas and other materials spun off from the stars core elements which will re form into other stars, planets. and perhaps in time living things, webb, which was launched in december, is a joint project of nasa and the european and canadian space agencies. it took more than 20 years to build an cost $10000000000.00. it's the most sophisticated space telescope ever made and makes observations in the infrared spectrum,

a wave length of light not visible to the human eye. scientists were awed by the 1st images. maybe people in a broken world, managing to do something right, and to see some of the majesty that's out there. finally, this image gives a sense of the incomprehensible vastness of space and time. it is a deep look at a single area teeming with galaxies and stars. the light scene here originated 13000000000 years ago, less than a 1000000000 years after the big bang. scientists promise many more discoveries are ahead. adding immeasurably to our understanding of the universe that we are a part of rob reynolds al jazeera. ah, what you all deserve me said robin.
