a strong leader, but he and his family interest 3 years has run the country into real bankruptcy. a foreign reserves are finished. there is a huge fuel shortages shortage. there's electricity costs the food insecurity. so people are saying he can flee the country, but we are here left behind in this mass. and there's also calls for justice basically the protest movement. and i just spoke to one of the lead us have now given him a deadline to resign and not only him also the prime minister we come and sing, a pass is facing a deadline. 1 pm, 3 long can time and 2 and a half hours from now. they want an official form of resignation which they don't have so far. and if that's not been a given, they will take to the streets massively. again,

like similar maybe to what we've seen last saturday when tens of thousands, actually hundreds of thousands of sri lankan came to colombo and tom, the presidential residency and the prime minister house was burned down. soda. is this waiting now for the next couple of hours? what is the president going to do? is he gonna formerly resign? the prime minister is actually still in the country and it's also the brought on my hinder park. so you just mentioned him. the former prime minister is also reportedly still here in 3 and couple members of the got your fox family has flats already know stuff. it's interesting because you said you just spoke to one of the protest lead is that it does seem that this, the longer this goes on, the more organized. and the more together the protest is becoming all there are any demands that the protestors are making yes, they have

a whole list of demands and i can show it to you here it's. it's a leaf that they've been handing out here at the presidential residency, which is still flooded by people, are still q of long qs of thousands of people trying to come in to the residency to see how the presidential family was living there, handing it out. and the mounts are very clear, the 1st one is that got to buy a box. i have to resign officially and also the prime minister. but it also says that they want an establishment of a people's council as they call it. and that's a representation of this protest movements. you say that no lead us, but it has become a more organized protests movement in the last couple of days. and they want this representation. they say they don't believe in parliament because parliament is basically still also controlled by that box of family. they want the people's council that is part of the change in ceylon. they want a real change. they want to corruption core. they want the people from the previous

government to be brought to justice, but they also want a fair share of, of, of the wealth in the country. of course people have been taught for, for months now, and some even have not enough to eat in the day. so they really want to see some structural st changes and they want to see them soon from the life in colombo, thank you very much. now the late his congressional hearing loss, she has a talk on the u. s. capital is focused on a tweet from the then president donald trump described as a call to ohms. she returns he has more from washington. the committee has particularly 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 of them, vice president mike pence. in previous hearing, several senior figures and trump circle 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, but other shot and right now, once legal challenges had been exhausted and the electoral college met on december, the 14th to certified 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. 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, tromp 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 ah tweet, mobilized right when paramilitary groups like the proud boys on the oath keepers. now they had a date to focus on as they attempted to overturn the election according to the committee. one former official and the oath 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 jess, talk about truths and what it was going to be was an armed revolution with a tweet, also mobilized rank and file from supporters who had no affiliation to any group. the committee did not present any evidence that trump actively coordinate of the rides, 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 ride and the growing fears of those around him. in addition, committee members amount, so they'd seen what they felt was more evidence of donald trump attempting to

tamper with witnesses to the committee. she ebert, nancy al jazeera capitol hill. job widens on his way to the middle east, on his 1st visit to the region, as you, as president. his 1st thought will be israel, where security has been boosted ahead of his arrival, ill also meet with palestinian leaders in the occupied west bank. stephanie deca explained some of the challenges he'll be facing 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 new settler units here in the remote shlomo. 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. 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 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 looked at go by den. we'll also be meeting with the palestinian present mahmoud abbas here in bethlehem, where it's impossible to miss the whole, really the symbol of israel's longstanding occupation and effort to restrict the freedom of movement of the palestinian people. but the ministration has made it clear that this trip is more about integrating israel into the region rather than reviving long stalled peace talks for democratic senators in the u. s. have sent a letter to the secretary of state demanding answers about

a review of the killing allowed as their agenda. sharina barclay, the senator se a recent u. s. lead review doesn't live up to antony blinking call for an independent and credible investigation. the democratic signatories to the letter r, chris van holland, chris murphy, perfectly he and dick durbin, sheena barclay was us citizens. she was shot in the head while reporting on israeli raids in the occupied westbank and un security council has passed a resolution to extend at cross border, a deliveries into serious loss, rebel hold region, but only for 6 months. her mission for the shipments from turkey into northwestern, syria expired on monday after russia vetoed an attempt to renew the mandate for a year. a diplomat again sir james bass as more from the united nations. after days of uncertainty, the security council renewed permission for humanitarian aid to flow from turkey into syria. but for 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 u. n. and 8 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 ban holder, russia air ireland and to know raise a draft. now 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 secretary general antonio good terrorist to provide a 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 board. the point as it is essential for, for the people in italy, it's a matter of life. and there are many of them that we have asked for a renewal of her whenever the 2nd 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 the rule, donald a different system, the security council as well as he's clearly demonstrating that she has upon the end of its past 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 . the u. s. government says it will triple financial assistance to pacific island nations, if it gets congressional approval, vice president carmella harris made the pledge the original lead as meeting in fiji . the proposed increase to $60000000.00 yet would be used to regulate fisheries and combat the impacts of climate change. washington amazing, are competing for influence and the region still ahead i'll deserve the race to number 18 candidates make it on to the ballot hoping to be the new leader of the you. case. conservative party and pattern was government analysis measures to curve the rise in fuel and food prices of the laws,

an overnight the temperatures don't drop much. this is sort of reminiscent of, of the danger elsewhere in the will to clean unit with night. time temperatures don't drop very much. she minutes he can get quite high in the daytime. makes it hotter still. now it's usually hot, dry and dusty in the regular days. it's just the gulf states where it gets humid and that's consistently the story. at the moment. bit of good news, the somalia may be some rain on the way, but it's very weak. there's an increase in the likelihood and a full of flash, flood likelihood of showers in ethiopia, sudan, and soft sudan. ah. the new voice, the heating up the airway bladder can use listeners with. kimberly, here, but i really think in your own country shifting paleface case, the rise of citizen journalism has changed everything. how do you happen? it happened on social media and the undeniable impact of the mainstream narrative. australians went to the pole with those images front of mine is

a war that very much came ports out in the media as low as on the battlefield. they're listening page. dissect the media on al jazeera lu. ah, doughty out, is there a reminder of our top stories this out? so long as president is fled the country following los protests over sprawling gob economic crisis. go the by roger packs, and his wife took a military plane to the mouldings he'd been hiding since crowd stolen the presidential palace on saturday. on the latest congressional hearing on last year's attack on the u. s. capital is focused on the tweet from former president donald trump described as a cool to alms. it was posted in the weeks before the right,

grandma wong is well known. she stands out because it's the prop that she used to use during the protests in 2019, she would waive a large union jack flag. and of course, in the eyes of the authorities, that was a very sort of flagrant tone, very provocative, because it seemed to suggest that there was still a sort of nostalgia for british colonial rule here in hong kong. she is no stranger of course to the courts. she has been arrested and jailed multiple times during the past few years. and back in 2019, she vanished after returning to china. she lived 1st across the board in shins and when she eventually emerged 14 months later, she said she'd be interrogated almost every day. now alexandra wrong, which is her real name, is facing the prospect of up to 5 years in jail if she's convicted at this court. now, on tuesday, another veteran protest her was jailed for 9 months. he is 75 years old

and there's concern, he might well die in jail because he now has false stage colon cancer. b e u has given crazy final approval to adopt the euro from next year. is the 1st expansion of the single currency block in almost a is the move came on the day when the euro hit parity with the u. s. dollar. it's the lowest valuation since 2000 to the currencies fall is being driven by phase of a global recession. and there are also concerns that supplies of russian gas might be cut due to the war in ukraine. and sorry about the has more from paris for the year. i've been fooling 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 the us of course, ongoing concerns in europe over energy supplies is your 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. london busiest airport is announced. it will limit the number of departing passengers to 100000 a day for the next few months. before the pandemic, the average number of daily passengers at heathrow was more than double that. but all 40 se airlines and ground staff can't cope with the recent rise in passenger numbers. the limit comes into effect on tuesday will last until september. andrew chilton's, 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 find 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. 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 will that have more than one fly. the die to particular destination is a nice place on the operate $12.00 flights and try to limit it that way at one will be a line. so it's a gift because of course, what they have to do, what they are eliciting out is if they, if the number of states they're offering is 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. a candidates have made it onto the ballots, hoping to replace boris johnson as a leader of the case. conservative party former chancellor ritchie cynic is the favorites. he kicked off his campaign on tuesday, promising honesty after a series of votes. the u. k is next prime minister will be announced on september, the 5th for johnson step down falling internal pressure over the over series of scandals. pull brian has moved. well, we've got 8 candidates now left standing after elimination into the 1st round,

the 1922 committee, which is a committee within the pretty conservative party, responsible for electing the new leader. basically set the ball quite high. normally, if you had 8 supporters within the party, you would get into the 1st round ballot. instead they put it up to 20 supporters that were required, hoping that that would fit out the field somewhat. we had 11 potential candidates, haven't really thinned out the field as much as perhaps 1922 committee would have hoped to go 8 candidate to go forward to tomorrow's 1st round ballot, which will take place over 2 hours in the early afternoon on wednesday. the big names are still in, well, frankly, the front when a clearly within the parliamentary parties, the former chancellor wishes sumac, who has probably more than double the amount of support among his parliamentary colleagues and any of the other individual candidates. but another name that i think we need to watch out for is penny mordant. the conservative home website did a survey on tuesday of conservative members,

and they're the ones who will get the postal balance. at the end of the day to select the leader and penny mode and surprise and they came out talk amongst conservative members. so yeah, between at the moment it looks between research through neck and penny more than but the other 6 would probably have, will disagree with me. was government announced measures to curb the rise in fuel prices and some essential food products for the week of nation wide protests on which are showing no signs of dying down alice hunger, rump yet in our reports for 2 weeks brodis to take him to the streets of panama, the meaning the government take action to combat the high cost of living prices of gasoline, medicine and basic food items have doubled since the star of the year and a regular protesting everywhere. and we are ready to start an indifferent strike until they sit down with us to discuss and find solutions to this and sustainable

and vowed to keep up their pressure on the streets. analysts say the problem lies in an unequal economic recovery. following the pandemic is no middle macro, establish a dando, the macro numbers a bit on a few items logistics, the national airline mining and the panama canal. but the growth did not trickle down to the population while prices went up. so looking close, panamanians are wondering why if the countries grants its been 5 percent, they are unable to pay for medicine gasoline. the government is hoping for negotiations with union leaders, but for now more demonstrations are planned. international strike is set to go ahead on wednesday. allison and deity al jazeera, the mystery and the majesty of far away galaxies have come into sharp focus for the 1st time. that's after nasa released images from the james web space telescope, the most powerful to be launched into orbit among the discoveries were dying star and a stella nursery. rob reynolds 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 weeks 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 shows 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 plus $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.
