refused to call off the mob. that storm capitol hill ah wants to live from headquarters in del high, getting obligated also ahead security forces and you're like, i have descended on an anti government protest camp in the capital a snap election triggered in italy. the president says, all parliament after the prime minister resign hopes are high for a deal on green that could ease the global food crisis. ah, hello, the us house select committee has heard how the former president, donald trump sat and watched the january 6 riots unfolding on capitol hill for 2 and a half hours before taking any action to former white house staffers have given evidence, suggesting trump, initially dismiss calls to de escalate the situation,

she returns the reports. the committee's focus was the 187 minutes between donald trump finishing his white house speech to the followers he summoned on january the 6th. and his eventual video message cooling on the right is to go home after they've reached the capital and more evidences present the trump wanted to join. the protest is to go into a heated argument with secret service agents who refused to take him. but now we got a suggestion about why they refused for security official who chose to remain anonymous . i don't know if you want to use the word insurrection, qu whatever. we all knew that this would move from a normal democratic public event into something else. having been rebuffed from return to the white house dining room where he remained for over 2 and a half hours, the cool logs blank for that time and the official white house photographer was prevented from entry. but fox news was displaying the unfolding chaos. a few kilometers away, witnesses, se trump made no effort to intervene during that time,

but was well aware of what was unfolding. are you aware of any phone call by the president of the united states to the secretary of defense that day? not where are you aware of any phone call by the president united states to the attorney general of the united states that day? no. you have any phone call by the president of the united states, the secretary of homeland security that day. i'm not aware of that. those in the white house growing more alarmed, desperate to get the president to do something. so would trump children, his closest allies, the republican leadership in congress, even fox news hosts, but to no avail. on capitol hill, members of the vice president security detail say they were terrified the members of the b p. detail at this time, we're starting to peer for their own lives. but instead from which is an attack against like penance that inflamed the crowd further, it looked like fuel being poured on the fire. donald trump's daughter, vanka, managed to get her father to agree to cool, and his supporters quote,

to stay peaceful, but only after protracted negotiations. me that the president did not want to include any sort of mention of peace in that tweet. pending committee argue that only when it was clear that any attempt to stop the vote certification would fail, and the national guard was on its way to donald trump speak. but even then, he refused to use the prepared statement. it was a land slide election and everyone knows it, especially the other side. but you have to go home now. we have to have peace. she, i can't see it or the next day of the address, the nation. trump still would not concede, but this election is now all congress has certified the results. i don't want to say the elections. i just want to say congress has certified the results without saying the elections over. okay. the committees argument is the trump broke the oath of office by not acting on january the 6th, but it just failed to act. he chose not to act and the committee will hold more hearings in september to make the argument

a trump isn't fit to ever hold office again. she returns to the al jazeera washington, 1st fine as a former us associate deputy attorney general and the constitutional lawyer. he says, former vice president mike pence needs to appear before the committee to explain donald trump's directions on january the 6th. even the statements that trump issued that were ambiguous, in the sense that on one hand, he says you should be peaceful, but we love you and your patriot is that way he never ever consider doing was saying president biden won the election according to our processes. he's won, there'll be a peaceful transition, and unfortunately, you know, you have violated the law and our point is special task force that the justice department you're going to be prosecuted and go to jail and don't think you're going to get pardons just what someone would be saying when they have an obligation to faithfully execute the laws you want and the violation for so flagrant that

everybody in the white house except for him could see the criminal al really that was going on. and it is, it seems to me, very important at some point that the committee, forgetting the actual words of president trump, when he was told repeatedly, you have to do something, you got blood on your hand. this is really terrible. i remember in the nixon impeachment it was very important when john d testified about raise money to pay off the water in the burglar. then he would say the nixon that, oh yeah, well, we could do it, but that would be wrong. and you know, that would be wrong. there was a payment free that would woodward burns the in watergate because it add a very personal dimension giving you insight into the state of mind the president. and that's why i think the committee is going to be darrell. it talks about dereliction of duty. if they do not insist on getting mister pens,

his testimony and having mister chip alone back in others and tell me you need to tell us. what did the president tell you? you have no privilege your duty as a government lawyers to the constitution. this is not nazi germany or you take an oath to dare few or you take a note up all the constitution of the united states. what will needed in my judgment, if you want to stay the smoking gun will be direct testimony from mister pen, stating this is what the president was doing to me harassing me. he use these curse words. he said, i don't care x y z. that will gravitate all eyes in the whole nation, that in my judgement could be sufficient to push this into a credit accused by the justice department. sir lincoln security forces have raided the main anti government protest camp and colombo, just hours after runaway from a single was sworn in as president with esther say they had planned to vacate the area by friday afternoon. was from a single,

a thing. and now being the president, he's going to hold to ministry, post himself, the finance ministry, and the defend smith ministry. so his promise to bring their political pockets all together, including the opposition to have this national unity government to tackle the very serious crisis here and lancaster has not been met yet. the is talk though that this is an interim government and that he will still reach out to the opposition of fractions in parliament to make sure that there will be a much broader correlation build in the future. but so far we are not seeing that on these protests. you can see them and hear them behind me. i'm not happy at all. so what are the protesters planning to do next after the storming of their town? oh, well there are protesting right at the site where they were really forcefully removed and it early morning around to a huge military. i'm police forum force storms and through this last row those side,

the rights to peacefully put is gathered together. and the expiration of a desperation. so without any loss on regulation, all of a sudden, midnight been for business law. leaping and been div had no knowledge. they came, assaulted a media of invention on media personnel on different dumb community. and they had no idea of i just up and some people are saying he needs political stability, of course, also to get this bailout package from the i m f. is this how political stability might be real? ok, so this is actually while. busy been debunked because i believe you didn't need to buy it because stephanie, the nicholas thing on the gama should sure did governance talk is just how been for

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, e couldn't jame the opulence, speak those populous. look, i've star moves splintered, learn a civil war, he couldn't jane the other populace. the gallagher look on the right wing. and because they're splitting. so there's a rate 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 at risk. adam rainy,

broke out between the house and berta tribes. she and her children walked for hours to reach neighboring in our state of holland. we heard that there was fighting in parts of the blue nile between our tribe and other tribes and we immediately fled. it took us more than 6 hours of walking to get here. and now we have nothing except what we were given by the host communities. satta is one of thousands displayed by the unrest and one of the few to have settled with a host community. other families have found shelter in abandoned schools in sin now . but thousands of families are displaced in blue now state itself. some haven't found any way to stay on are stuck outside in the middle of the rainy season. delivering a to those in need is no easy task. some areas are hard to access because of the violence and well 8 organizations we for security conditions to improve. people are becoming more and more desperate. many see they've lost everything at signing the

for example, leg was a coastal stage in some of the niger area. we spoke to official staff who said the weather putting there has changed dramatically. the range this yeah. potted one month earlier and they expected to last longer this year by 3 or 4 weeks instead of november, the res i expected to end in december this year. so basically what we see is changing weather patterns up update 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 farm lives 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, a surgeon corona virus cases in australia is putting pressure on hospitals. it's due to a highly contagious sub variance of ami chrome. that's true. that's driving a fresh wave of covered 1900 infections across the asia pacific. sarah clark reports from australia. hospital admissions, from cove at 19, are at record levels. in some states in australia, the countries in the grip of a 3rd wave of the omicron variant with more than 300000 cases recorded this week and the peak expected in august. i think there's a little bit of uncertainty, but we're, we're probably gonna reach record numbers and record numbers and hospital potentially in various parts of the country now, which is the content and bidding. as i said, we're starting from a complete position of disadvantage in having hospital,

which are completely full as they normally are. strategy among the most heavily vaccinated countries against coven, 1995 percent of the population above the age of 16 has received 2 doses. 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. both shock give the additional protection that we're seeing that very clearly from across the world. so essentially we just need to get more of those shots in the new way to evictions is not just being felt here in australia, but also across the asia pacific. even micronesia, which had been hired free until now as has 1st case reported in the community, epidemiologist. so encouraging pacific nations to expand the roll out of the 4th dose of the curve 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 barian when he saw the variance of the lightest challenge to china. 0 time policy is shanghai rolling out mass testing. and residents now required to take a pca covered 19 test, at least once a week until august. in the chinese territory, macau, a government imposed extended, locked down will be lifted and casinos allowed to reopen on saturday. south korea, you cases are nearly 10 times higher than a month ago, with nearly $70000.00 cases on friday. at the warning from the health agency that it could serge 2 over 200000 daily cases. next month. sarah clark al jazeera. ah, we got the headlines on al jazeera.
