here at the latest news, as it breaks, this decision basically said that the robi way decision was simply wrong. it is highly unusual for a supreme court to overrule precedent with detailed coverage. the pub road will not only significantly renew the travel time, but it is expected to initially economic boom from around the world. this one here depicts the late who it was offered and know who was revolutionary poems in his play of the many i for him to tweet out the message about mike pence, it was him pouring gasoline on the fire and making it much worse. a u. s. congressional committee here and from donald trump, former aid to say the president refused to call off the law that storm capitol hill

. ah, you're watching al jazeera alive from headquarters in del high and daddy and i gave the also coming up will be live from your lanka where a security forces have descended on an antique government protest camp in the capital a snap election trigger. and in italy, the president dissolved parliament after the prime minister, resign cobra, 1900 infection surgeon, australia as a new sub, vary and puts pressure on hospital downtown services. ah, hello. the us house select committee has heard how'd former president donald trump sat and watched the january 6th riots unfolding on capitol hill for 2 and a half hours before taking action to former white house staffers have given

evidence. sarah matthews told the panel a tweet sent out by donald trump as his support a storm the capital helped to fuel the january 6 riot. the former deputy national security adviser for donald trump matthew partner, said he quit his job in response to another. trump tweet in a trump accuse the former vice president mike pence of not having the courage to overturn the result of the 2020 presidential election. i was disturbed and worried to see that the president was attacking vice president pants for doing his constitutional duty. so the tweet looked to me like the opposite of what, what we really needed that moment, which was a d escalation. and that's why i had said earlier that it looked like fuel beam poured on the fire. so that was the moment that i decided that i was going to resign. that that would be my last day at the white house. i simply didn't

want to be associated with, with the events that were unfolding on the capital. so the committee has heard that from pack to be convinced by numerous people to publicly call for his supporters to calm down, including his press, office and members of his family. miss matthews was maggie and he told us she came right back to the press office after meeting with the president about this particular tweet. what did she tell you about what happened in that dining room? when she got back, she told me that a tweet had been sent out, and i told her that i thought the to eat did not go far enough. that thought there needed to be a call to action and he needed to condemn the violence. and we are in a room full of people by people weren't paying attention. and so she looked directly at me and in a husky tone, shared with me that the president did not want to include any sort of mention of peace and not tweet. and that it took some convincing on their part,

those who were in the room. and she said that there was a back and forth on going over different phrases to find something that he was comfortable with. and it wasn't until a vanka, trump suggested the phrase stay peaceful that he finally agreed to include it. there are concerns, the hearings are not reaching a wide audience in the u. s. as she returns he reports from capitol hill. this is about talking to the american people about donald trump's fitness told office in the future. is that having a big effect? it doesn't seem to be the polls. so suggest donald trump is the front rather to be the republican party against joe biden. the next presidential election, and when you see the match drops, even after all these here is not this one yet. the, the trumping bite, pretty much neck and neck varies. and the level of the level error in any, and any kind of polling. and in fact, when you look at the poles as to what people are actually concerned about if the economy it's inflation, it's joe biden to see a lack of lack of presidential activity. frankly,

the main demographic we're interested in in these hearings is the white college educated constituency who used to actually remain the republican. but now switch to the, the democrats for everyone else. the majority of it is, it is about the economy. they owned us concerned about this. this just seems to be some have something according to suppose that if out there. and yes, of course, it may be wondering, but the economy will be the major, major issue. and we've seen the ratings. the ratings fall precipitously from the 1st, the 1st committee hearing where they got about 2xw2xw u, as in the 1st week. but that was also the prime time thing. then the committees went into, into the daytime hearings. they switched about 10 to 11000000 and they went to about 13000000 and for comparison, like the news on the networks gets a combined of about 20000000. but real political events like a presidential debates, they get 75000000 or something like that. and of course, we have an electorate of about 270000000. so out, you know, who is this,

who's actually talking to that's, that's sort of unclear. and i think there is a suspicion that the committee is preaching to the converted. and it's a little faster perhaps getting us president joe biden is experiencing mild symptoms after testing. positive for coven 19. it's the 1st time the 79 year old has had corona, virus vice president, common harris has been identified, had as close contact our white house correspondent, kimberly how can reports wednesday was 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 in every way, but on thursday, the white house confirmed by that had contracted coven 19 president biden is currently experiencing mild symptoms, mostly a runny nose and fatigue, with an occasional dry cough. folks, yes, you heard biden's positive case was discovered during routine white house coven

testing was detected, his travel schedule is 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 the a lot of work done going to continue to get it done. and in the meantime, thanks for your concern and keep the thing going to be ok. i didn't is double that in twice boost it most recently on march 30th. so despite his advanced age of 79 years, biden is experiencing only mild symptom. his risk of serious illness is dramatically lower. he's also getting treated with a very powerful anti viral. and that further reduces his risk of serious films that anti viral is packs, love it, and well, it's not clear which strain of covey the president has contracted. thousands of

americans have been hit by an uptick. the arm across a very a be a 5 responsible for a wave of recent covert cases in the united states. pax lovin, if taken early, is one of the top treatments. the 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 comma la harris has also tested negative. barden isn't the 1st us president to contract cove id. 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, but given his mild case,

there are no plans to transfer his executive powers to his vice president. kimberly healthcare al jazeera, the white house, shoreline jen. security forces have rated the main anti government pro hescamp and colombo, just hours officer run over a single was warning as president protest or say they had planned to vacate the area by friday afternoon. welcome. a single had warned he would crack down on the demonstration that toppled his predecessor, describing them as unlawful. and shortly after the protest site was clear, dean as good, our danny was sworn in as rank as new prime minister. he's an ally of the former president and go to buy a roger pox. the remainder of the cabinet is expected to be sworn in later on friday. let's bring in stuff awesome. she's joining us now from columbus. tell us more about the new prime minister step and what we know about him. oh, well, dina guy to a dana is basically

a close friends of the president of her on the week. come is saying i actually went to school together. he was also part of the ruling coalition, a box that coalition, so no, no one you face whatsoever in sri lankan politics. he's been in parliament for a very, very long time. and we also haven't seen any other new faces to being called in for the new cabinet. so far natal himself is going to take the finance minister. suppose also we are hearing that the defense minister will be to say, so his promise to bring in like new faces and also combine the ruling party with the opposition to create some kind of national unity government to solve the very urgent prices to country. as in, we haven't seen any evidence of that so far. we of course have still have to hear what the complete cabinets is gonna look like. we would hope to hear that in the next hour or so, but so far it's not looking as if there are going to be

a lot of new faces there. and we certainly see their security personnel standing behind you. stop. tell us what the protests are planning after the storming of their camp a. well, it was a serious crack down in the early morning here at the last brought that side. it was the actual last secretary of protests was, had occupied this building for like the last 12 big government forces the military police. they came in in the early morning and to, to re the camber. people got beaten, got injured. so you know what you're looking at now, that is the anger, the angry protest i hear shouting at police saying that the they have no rights to remove them. this was a piece o process. so they really been shocked to here for alice already. i did not planning to go anyway because i really that the president should they've been resignation as well as they did for the previous president. go to buy a job to discuss all of this. i'm going to bring in my guess or in the phone say

gosh, you've been here at the protest sites for a long time since the beginning. you were promising the protests, a promise to sneer this protest site today, but still the security forces rated it in the early morning. why? we actually baffled by that decision because we have clearly communicated to the necessary authorities that we will be removing our presence from this space. unfortunately, they had a disproportionate amount of flaws, state sponsored terrorism, one would say on the continuous oppression to the people of this country. we see is that the political leads of this country are trying to sustain the establishment. and the test being the, it has been the thing that has been happening over the last several years. or the

last several kids, the political leads all what the care is to protect the establishment. and they will have this facade that they want to actually do something for our country, something for the citizens. but that's not the real case because we are sorry to interrupt when the president goes to buy it, i was forced to flee the country. there was a feeling that something was going to change, right. what, what is, what's left of that feeling now? well, the feeling is still then we will not naive. we will not naive to things that it was going to be a one time event. democracy is something that we need to sustain it. democracy, team sport. so we are here collectively to show our dissent democratically and a peaceful manner and a non molly non violent manner. so we are not, we going to move forward. we will not give up a victim of thing that is clearly showing that, you know, now if using its emergency power, right, to call in the military and police,

don't you think a lot of people will be really scared to go back to the street? yeah, that might be certain parts of the country. we might be afraid because of the really unfortunate history that your longer has shown using the law enforcement to try and all of this country. but there has been a ground swelling that is asking for a better sholonda. so we are here united to create that better for longer. and we will continue to come together and get out a way how we can create that better salon. com. thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. so there's been a lot of condemnation also from the us ambassador here also from the british high commissioner to condemn the violence that has happened here in the early morning. also amnesty international and has called on the government to make sure that the so protest can still continue. but as seeing now the emergency powers are really

being called in now and being used to crack down on these protests. thank you so much. the us and reporting from colombo still ahead on al jazeera hopes are high for a deal on green that could help ease the global food crisis. desperate for help 1000 flea their home during classes and to john. and now a group say they can't reach them. ah ah hello there that exceptional record breaking heat's been lingering over central and northern areas of europe over the past few days. now we're going to see temperatures come down here. but down in the south, there will certainly be on the up the likes of rome in italy. we've got red warnings out his temperature expect to the climb through friday and saturday. if we

have a look at the 3 day, for example, for room, we are going to the touch up to the early thirty's before some relief comes in on sunday. now to the west and east of this, we have got patches of wet weather we got funded storms moving across western areas of russia is going to get wet and window for the likes of britain and islands to the north west, especially on saturday. a mix of sunshine and showers, particularly in the south, and it's looking wetter across france, more downpours as well for the likes of poland. by the time we get into saturday, some of that rain stretching across scandinavia, but it's really all about the heat down in the south for portugal and spain as well as southern areas of france, which isn't going to help the wild fires. and we've also got a corridor of heat from the baltics down to the balkans. and if we have a look at the temperature in belgrade touching up to 40 but some relief on monday. ah.

how the former president donald trump watched events unfold for hours before taking action from white house staff members told the committee, trump tweets helped fuel the insurrection. us president joe biden has tested positive for over 19 bite and says his symptoms are mild. there are no plans to transfer his powers to vice president, comma le harris. sure, lincoln security forces have rated the main anti government protest camp and colombo, just hours after rhino with your machine gun was sworn in as president. he had warranty would crack down on the demonstrations describing them as unlawful. turkey says russia and ukraine are expected to sign a d a later on friday that will reopen ukrainian black see ports green shipments have been stopped from there since the start of the war that's led to a rise in global food prices. al jazeera understands at that deal called for

a joint control and coordination center that will be established and is stumble. it will schedule the shipments. each of the 4 parties will pick a leave coordinator, but the un will be an overall control. all ships, transporting grain in and out of ukraine will be inspected. the inspections will take place at a port in turkey. the deal also ensure a safe passage for the shipments of grain. the vessels are not to face aggression or attack and military ships won't be involved. the agreements will run for 4 months and will be automatically renewed if none of the signatories object, or diplomatic editor james base has more from the united nations. we could go the u . n. sex gentle antonio could 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 was still some final hurdles that they had to pass and he was prepared as he was about to go on leave to break his holiday at any

time to sign a deal in his them both a deal that could mean that all of the grain that is trapped inside ukraine as 22000000 tons. 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 fertilizer to go back to global markets. this could go a long way to alleviating the global food crisis. so i think an important moment could come to nothing, even now they've been trying for weeks and weeks and weeks to get this deal through . but i think we un believes it's close to the never. and this, of course, could be a very significant deal with regard to ukraine. the most important moment of diplomacy since the start of war and go a long way to alleviating the global food crisis. italy will hold

a staff general election on the 25th of september after prime minister my drug resigned, and the government collapsed. adarine reports from room italy's president sandra montela announcing a 70 day timeline for early elections. clearly a decision he did not want to take naturally went on to ship out of that parliament or the early his own of parliament is always a last resort. particularly if the government, as it is the case in this period. he, although the parliament has many important tasks to complain more in the interests of our countrymen. but the developments or in the political situation have led to this decision. his announcement came hours after mario draggy stepped down on thursday. the prime minister made his last statement in parliament before tendering his resignation. jay bill, thank you. busy goodbye kilten ivan central bankers, hearts or tut sometimes. my thank you for this and thanks for all the work we're

weeks instead of november, the res i expected to end in december this year. so basically what we see is changing weather patterns. ups up day in the north, you also hear about how rivers are swelling and in the coastal areas, the water levels are rising high, displacing communities, taking over farmlands and other properties in the coastal regions of the south of the country. so they have been reported cases of death fixed for example, also in the north of the country in borderline state, where you see hardly see a lot of rainfall that you see in lagos, all in the south of the country. dumble, which is not far from my degree, the capital they have been, are cases of flooding damages to at least 300 houses there. and of course, damages to families and property. and this is coming at a time when the rains are really, really getting heavier and last, a longer than we've seen over the past few decades. also,

the federal government is now offering a full dose to those over 30 years, but so far has been cautioned to take up the offer. the full shock give the additional protection we're seeing that very clearly from across the world. so essentially we just need to get more bo shots in the new wave, evictions is not just being felt here in australia, but also across the asia pacific. even micronesia, which had been hybrid free until now, as has 1st case reported in the community, epidemiologists or encouraging pacific nations to expand the roll out of the 4th dose of the cove at 19 vaccine to avert a spike in infections in countries asian pacific regime, where a lot of countries get their infection right down. didn't have a big history of infections, but we're relying on a vaccination. we still have the same problem that we, we ended up needing to really get bash protection from these new sub variance. when you saw the variance of the latest challenge to china, 0 hybrid policy is shanghai rolling out mass testing. and residents now required to
