activists had planned to evacuate the area by friday afternoon. with a grimace, anger had warned, he would crack down on the protested, topple to his predecessor, describing them as unlawful. michelle fernandez has called in with this update from columbus. there have been at least 2 or 3 of the sort of female protest leaders that have been arrested. there was a lawyer called lionel. boop again, it's what i'm hitting who was arrested. he had shown them he's identification, but they had not taken any notice of that. they had taken him in another senior protest, so these are heavy, obviously, heavily armed with dr year weapons body armor. and one wonders why you had to be done at 1 o'clock in the morning. now as we mentioned, that raid happened a short time off the renewal we kind of thing i was sworn in as long as present. he was elected by members of the parliament in spite of public opposition. many so

long can say partly to blame for the worst economic crisis in decades. step voss and also now reports from columbus. it was a subdued celebration of parliament when the meal, because i'm a single one in will serve until 2020 for the remainder of his freedom term. for most people outside the building, there's no reason to celebrate the lancaster and into a nation waiting and cues. and hundreds of people are standing in line, trying to get a passport to leave the country. for a man who has been queuing for 2 days, he says he wants to escape the dire situation. he and his family are in them. my, my current job is very bad and the government has not increased the salary while prices are very high because of the expensive fuel. it is difficult for everyone now in sri lanka. and because of that, i have decided to leave for la channey johan,

a considerable amount. and i think he also has a reasonable amount of international with his problem is that most of the political credibility is the new president has warned that protests us will be dealt with strongly. but the protest, so say we can missing, doesn't have a political mandate as he lost his seat during the last by lament reelections. if he fails to achieve political stability, analysts say lanka will sing deeper into crisis. it's only a matter of time before people run out of money to buy even $1.00 meal. a day. steadfast and al jazeera, colombo. yes, present. jo biden's tested positive for coven 19 biden says his symptoms, a mild is the 1st time the 79 year old is tested positive for the virus. vice president. com. the harris has been identified as a close contact. a white house correspondent, kimberly help it has more wednesday with the last time the u. s. president joe biden was seen publicly returning to the white house from an event in massachusetts

. he appeared in good health, put out in every way, but on thursday the white house confirmed biden had contracted coven 19 prison invite and is currently experiencing mild symptoms, mostly a runny nose and fatigue, with an occasional dry cough. a folks guess you heard biden's positive case was discovered during routine white house covered testing was detected, his travel schedule was halted, and he was put in isolation still by been released a photo of him working at his desk in the white house residence and also a video to reassure the american public. i'm doing well. yeah, a lot of work done to get it done. in the meantime. thanks for your concern. keep the faith of abuse. biden is double vaccine, twice, boost it most recently on march 30th. so despite his advanced age of 79 years,

biden is experiencing only mild symptoms. his risk of serious illness is dramatically lower. he's also getting treated with a very powerful antiviral. and that further reduces his risk of serious else that antiviral is packs low bit and well, it's not clear which strain of covered the president has contracted. thousands of americans have been hit by an uptick. the arm across a very it be a 5 responsible for a wave of recent covered cases in the united states. pax lovin, if taken early, is one of the top treatments. oh, those closest to the president are so far testing negative. dr. joe biden. the 1st lady reassured americans, she was in good health and had no intention of halting her public schedule. vice president comalla harris has also tested negative binding isn't the 1st

u. s. president to contract co bid in october of 2020 donald trump also got the disease eventually requiring 3 nights of hospital care. for now, the white house staff has been reduced to essential employees only. well the president recovers by given his mild case. there are no plans to transfer his executive powers to his vice president. kimberly hell can al jazeera, the white house, the 8th hearing of the us house select committee investigating the january 6 right on capital hill is about to get underway. the prime time event is expected to reveal how president donald trump watched his supporters breached the capital before releasing a video 3 hours later, asking them to stop, to form a white house aides who quit authorize a jew to testify. this week to she had returned. see who's live on capitol hill? she held before you tell us what,

what we're expecting in their coming hours. just bring us up to date. this is the the 8th hearing. the 1st one began june 9th. uh, not really put donald trump front and center didn't and it is a narrative that has been spun since that initial hearing. so from the beginning, the 1st installments were donald trump, clearly refusing to accept the results of the presidential election, even though those around him, the department of justice is whitehouse advisors. all told him his daughter, even all told him there was no case. johnson nonetheless, trump embarks on a plan to put pressure on local and state officials and the department of justice and then even vice president mike pence himself to try and overturn the results of the election. all of those efforts fail, the election is certified in mid december, and that's when donald trump strategy seems to change as he realizes that all the options being given him by his kitchen cabinet of advisors, nickname,

the crazies by whitehouse inside, as whitehouse stop as a completely untenable, so that's when he shifts. and in mid december, he tweets out to his support, his focus on january the 6, what's that effect it'll, it'll be wild come to january 6. that will be the day when you can register your displeasure at the, at the results of the election, the, the written, the rig stolen election. and that's exactly what his support is. do they do come to washington on january? the 6th, donald trump gives a speech of the white house at the ellipse. and that's what we picked things up like from a, from in this, in this hearing about speech ends at 10 past one. what happens and the 187 minutes a 3 hours, 7 minutes to 4, 17 pm. when donald trump sends out a video message in a tweet, telling his for his to go home in that interim, his supporters of march to the capitol. as donald trump asked them to do,

and some of them have reached the capital's defenses and the course, then we have all those scenes where so familiar with that. that ranch that was going on here inside, inside congress, what was doing analysis address? we have a pretty good idea what he was doing already. he was watching on tv and rather enjoying it all. but what we're going to get now from to live witnesses who are in the white house at the time, as well as various witnesses who have video depositions, including the pony white house, legal advice that actually we just had today. donald trump's executive assistant, which is which is something that many people didn't even know that she had testified to, to the committee, we're going to get that granularity. and this is also that the committee can make that case of a dereliction of duty. donald trump was watching all this happens and constantly throughout the message from the committee. if he had to know what would, what would come of all of this? and that is not to say that there was a fairly, that proving any criminal motivation or any, any, any criminal action by donald trump. but he had to know, dereliction of duty,

which speaks to his fitness for office. we're talking about criminality. the select committee isn't a prosecuted prosecutorial body. it doesn't have those kind of powers. but one question everybody do want, does one that i from this is, did donald trump lead and insurrection? was he trying to hold on to power by any means necessary? that's not a question that we're going to get a definitive answer to today. oh, do you think we might know? i mean, and i think actually what's been clear and i'm going to tell you there's a lot of debate and there's obviously the folks that we often heard over the last 4 years is this, is it. this is a smoking gun. the was a plays dad and donald trump is, you know, he's going to be led away. i've been disappointed at every time over the last 4 years. and i got to say when he talked to impartial, neglects but there's nothing yet here. that suggests that donald trump was actively inciting a seditious riot to stop the be the certification of the results in congress.

however, what we have seen that because in telling your, your support is to march on the capital. that's perfectly normal 1st amendment, right. but you can do if you think the, your election has been stolen, you can, your, your supporters to go in march and protests and actually out even rejecting the certification results. and that is part of the price stuff in the sense about democrats rejected certification of donald trump's an action when when he was over, there is all the small print. it's very difficult to prove that intent, the criminal intent as far as the evidence that we've seen from the select committee is concerned. i think i'm not so interesting as the beer. they've had a very strange, straight relationship with the department justice. they can refer refer issues to the department justice for further criminal investigation, but throughout actually much of the time, the department just the saying, why are you sharing any of this information with us? they really have to beg for this information is on the kid with about really is that go, is that go anyway? the or j is having insight investigations or other investigations in georgia which

might be heating up, which might be getting closer to the trump circle. but as far as this particular hearing, these particular parents are concerned, it's not really clear yet whether these or several of the chinese, any sort of criminal criminal investigation that might already be beyond the way she had. this is an inside thing. i mean, the hearings had taken place that prime time, that's a pm eastern. certainly inside is political inside is less everybody with all grip to watching this and journalists were watching this, but has it kept to be your education, the american public? yeah, it's really just, you mentioned that i was looking at the ratings for, for the various hearings of the 1st week of hearing. got 20000000 viewers and then and then in between 2 out the next few hearings of that, 10 to 11000000 years. and then it peaks around 13000000 jewess and not really you get the sense that these primetime pairings will get, get more. will you, as you do wonder who the audience is and what's the weather?

it's changing any mines because when you look at the polls, certainly as well. the major, a major issue politically is the economy and joe biden's performance. the issue of whether democracy has been in peril because of trump. and so it does pull highly, but only about college educated white voters were pretty much who had now become actually a dominant part of the democrat based in the past lecture. they were there that they were more inclined to the republicans, perhaps. whereas the rest of the vote is the majority vote, as a much more muslim claim to be talking about the economy right now. so it's a, it's a fascinating question is to, for those people who are tuning em all, they june again because they are terrified to donald trump anywhere they weren't gonna vote for him. but for him or whether this is changing mines of swing voters and independent by his but that me again, when you look at the polls still, donald trump remains the front runner to challenge joe biden of the next presidential election. and in a, in a, in a comb test, they're always within the margin of error as to who would when she have returns. he,

there from capitol hill will have more from him as these hearings go and away. but still ahead on al jazeera, though fast, his land animal is expected to come back to india up to 70 years. ah hello, there will start in north america. it's all about the extreme heat here. we've got advisories and warnings out across many areas, particularly in the deep south. and we've seen some of the hottest nights on record in places like texas and in oklahoma. but we are going to see some storms and severe storms rolling in the curling end of that weather system that's making its way off the east coast, leaving behind lots of sunshine and swarms coming back in places like washington dc,

temperatures here well above the average. since severe storms while rolling away from central parts of canada across the great lakes. but it is still all about the heat. here as it is for the west coast dry conditions, a few showers coming into the 4 corners states. but we will see the heat builds in places like kansas city. we have a look at the 3 day touching up to 39 on saturday, remaining very hot on sunday. that was moved to central america, mexico, seeing the heat in northern areas. if you blustery showers, pulling in to the west coast, this severe storms rolling up north. but for the wet to whether we have to head farther south, we are expecting some flooding rains to pull into costa rica and panama by saturday . ah frank assessments, it sounds like you don't expect anything to change the problem. lebanon is actually

structural lebanon needs and use a contract in order for it to solve this problem. it's opinions, it's not on the go to can use the government notices in depth analysis of the days global headlines. this is going to be very hard to explain to the public that instead of pushing back, no, it's actually got inside story on al jazeera lou. ah, the watching out is there a random ball top stories this our security forces have rated the main and he government protests, camp in the capital, columbus dismantling tents and barricades protested. i've been camped in the

presidential secretariat since they stole the facility earlier this month. he was president joe biden has tested positive for coven 19, but he says he symptoms a mild, but it's the 1st time the 79 year old has tested positive for the virus vice president cobbler harris has been identified as a close contact on the 8th hearing of the us house select committee, investigating the january 6th right on capitol hill will get underway shortly. is expected to reveal how former president donald trump watched his supporters breached the capital before releasing a video 3 hours later, asking them to stop. ah, turkey says russia and ukraine will sign a deal on friday that will see the reopening of ukrainian ports on the black sea. grain shipments from ukraine came to a halt since the start of the war 5 months ago. and now food prices have risen dramatically across the world in i to nations secretary general antonio terrace has

travel to turkey to oversee the agreement. you and, and turkish officials have been mediating between moscow and cave to secure grain exports and avert a well food crisis. now there understands the deal calls for a joint control and coordination center that will be established in istanbul. the center will schedule statements. each of the 4 parties will pick a lead coordinates up of the united nations will be in overall control. all ships, transporting grain in and out of ukraine will be inspected. inspections will take place at a port in turkey. and the deal also in shows safe passage for the ship's grain. ships are not to face aggression or attack. a man or 2 ships won't be involved. the agreements going to run for 4 months will be automatically renewed if none of the signatories object are diplomatic added to james vase has more from the united nations. a week ago, the u. n. sake of general antonio terrace was here in new york. he said that

a deal was pretty close and he was pretty optimistic about the possibility of getting that deal. but he said there were still some final hurdles that they had to pass and he was prepared as he was about to go on and leave to break his holiday at any time to sign a deal in his damn bull. well, he's breaking that holiday. he's on his way, we understand in the next few hours from his holiday location to a stumble, is he going to sign a deal a deal that could mean that all of the grain that is trapped inside ukraine as 22000000 tons? that, that could be put back on the world markets, it could be transported through the back. see and then go to global markets and also on the other part of the deal, a russian grain and fertilizer which isn't covered by western sanctions as got swept up in those sanctions. the u. n. would also push for that grain and 1st lies had go back to global markets. this could go

a long way to alleviating the global food crisis. so i think an important moment it could come to nothing even now they've been trying for weeks and weeks and weeks to get this deal through. but i think the you and believes it's closer than ever. and this, of course, could be a very significant deal with regard to ukraine. the most important a moment of diplomacy since the start of the war and go a long way to alleviating the global food crisis. italy will hold a snap, a general election on the 25th of september after the government claps and prime minister mario druggie resigned. adam, raining their reports from ro italy's president sandra method. ella, announcing a 70 day timeline for early elections. clearly a decision he did not want to take, nor shirley went on to ship out of that bottle. amen. so the early his own of parliament is always a last resort, particularly if the government, as it is the case in this period to order the parliament has many important tasks to complain almost in the interests of our countrymen. but the developments are in

the political situation have led today to this decision. his announcement came hours after mateo draggy stepped down on thursday. the prime minister made his last statement in parliament before tendering his resignation. jerbill banking. busy gallery by huge and that even central bank, his heart, so touched, sometimes my thank you for this and thanks for all the work we have done together during this time alone, draggy, let a government for less than 18 months. many leaders across europe, som as a steady hand to pull italy in maybe even the whole continent out of the pandemic. he helps to your billions of dollars of recovery funds to italy, the largest recipient and the euro zone, and was a leading voice. and europe support of ukraine against russia. but in the end, this central banker couldn't wrangle the diverse group of parties in his coalition, each with its own priorities. he couldn't jame the populace because populace the 5

star movement splintered nerve civil war. we couldn't jane. the other populace, the gallagher look on the right wing. and because there's plenty, so there's a range. chaos right now underway. while some are lamenting the government's collapse, one party is thrilled the far right wing. brothers of italy currently leading in the polls looks likely to win more seats than any other skeptical of brussels and e u policies. it's not clear, it will be able to manage relationships with other e u leaders as well as froggy. and some worry a could even put further e recovery fund payouts at risk adarine. i'll g 0 roam though all fires across europe in recent weeks have been not alarming reminder of the impacts of climate change. and now the scale of the destruction is becoming clearer. the you satellite monitoring service as fires have already raised more lamb this year than in the whole of 2021. that's 517000 hector so far. it's fed the

record of 1000000 hectares. lost a wall 5 in 2017 will be broken by the end of this year. they have been fires in france, portugal, greece, italy, slovenia, and albania. but more than a 3rd of the devastation has been in spain, or 0 zane bas ravi is in one of the worst areas in spain's avila province. according to at least one european environmental organisation. these are the worst wildfires this continent has seen in a century. spain easily the worst effected country and where we are now, and so bred us in a vila province this morning, took the unfortunate mantle of being the worst effected part of the country so far this wildfire season. and you can see why when you come into this area, we've driven through valleys and hills all completely charged by the wildfires that have been had that has been ongoing for days and that are still going forward. now the police are much more strict in this mountainous area. it is easy to get lost in these mountains and caught up in the ongoing fires. so there are road blocks

everywhere and they won't let us near any of the fires. but you can hear water bombing helicopters go overhead, you can see them heading and directions of the fires and there is a thick smoke hanging over all of the countryside. i'm going to show you exactly what a fire here leaves behind. all we see is charred black land and burned trees, but where the fire was stopped in its tracks, you can see a star contrast from the black and burn trees to the green foliage. really indicating how harsh these fires were and how quickly they came up. luckily they were stopped, that would, no doubt have come as a relief to the people that live in these valleys. and just to give you a sense of how close a call this was for the people living here, the fire just stopped short of buildings down their homes and farms where people live and work very close to where these fires were in logistical terms for the firefighters this is exactly what a close call looks like, because if you pan just

a little further veritable stones throw away from the fires, is the town of superheroes. just moments really the fires that were here would have been moments from engulfing this town. and no doubt the work of the fire rescue teams at the time was dramatic and desperate to try to save the town. the headquarters for the regions firefighters is base their insur barrows. we've been down there and we've been told that they are still continuing to fight ongoing fires all across this area. the roads continue to be blocked, and people there continue to be on high alert. schools reopen the northeast and bangladesh off to the worst floods in a century, but many people are still waiting freight and they don't have the money to rebuild the homes. the select region is one of the hardest hit tanveer child reserve. many of the families returned home only to find their homes totally damage. it's uphill . struggle must have lost their life stalks. patty farms,

pole trees. now we have gone across in different places, the same story, but they're still happening to be at home. we ox. if they received any kind of help from the government or agencies, they said very little, some drive forward in the beginning and little bit of cash from the government. it's gonna be a very difficult uphill battle for this families to rebuild our homes as the last everything, unless the government and agencies financially help them. it's a long road ahead for them. they have enough to go far away to get fresh water because there's no tubes out of sorts of fresh water. most wants to start their life, but they're helpless. they don't know how to do it because they don't have the money to rebuild at home fixed electrons or even built a water point somewhere to get fresh water. so without some kind of help, life is still very difficult for those millions of people got affected by the flood in last month. no more than 70 years off to cheats his were declared extinct in india, the government assigned

a deal to reintroduce them in the previous spend ascending atest india toes rule. so. busy underway was held africa to supply more the because the teachers will be taken to a wildlife sanctuary in coon, a national park for special beating program. india used to be home to as yet it cheeses for the species was declared extinct in 1952 is still the last 3 were killed in the 1940s that she didn't spit extinct since the early 19 fifties on. i had thought that maybe a couple of stragglers were around, but that's the date that it was considered to be extinct. and why now i think since that extinction of the government has been looking at the possibilities of bringing the animal that ah, is bringing animals back from extinction is not an easy job. and it takes a lot of international cooperation. i am working together with a variety of scientists as well to figure out the best way to go about this. the

areas where the chita will be re introduced her same areas that have been where animals like leopards tigers, lions are living. and so the of the cheetah also some area is living in the same way here in africa, although doesn't have tigers. so it, it is, is not that much of a difference in where already the people in india are living with many of the large reg fauna. and it is an interesting country because it's still a country that actually has a, a wild populations to living with people. and the people are, and the animals have learned to live together. although these animals are going to be in the national parks, these are wild animals that will be going into the wild to re establish a wild population within the country. ah.
