[000:00:00;00] ah, jazeera, re weigh in cambodia, thousands of living flate full to carry out fraud investigation 11 east exclusive. those behind despite the scam built on slavery on out his era. ah, ah, for him to tweet out the message about mike pence, it was him boring gasoline on the fire and making it matures and us congressional committee hears from donald trump,

former aid to say the president refused to call off the mall. that storm capitol hill. i know you're watching live from headquarters in delphi and jerry and obligated also coming up security forces. i'm sure lanka has descended on an anti government protest camp in the capital. hopes are high for a deal on green that could ease the global food crisis. and in sport, american no eliles retained to 200 meters will title the 3rd fastest time in history. ah, hello, a us house committee investigating the january 6 riots say that the former president, donald trump chose not to act as deadly violence unfolded on capitol hill. to

former white house staffers have given evidence suggesting trump, initially dismiss calls to de escalate the situation. she returns the report. 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 at his eventual video message cooling on the writers to go home after they reached the capital. and more evidence is presented, the trump wanted to join the protest, and let me 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 a word insurrection. cool. whatever. we all knew that this wouldn't 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? 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 alarms desperate to go, the president to do something. so with trump's children, his closest allies, the republican leadership in congress, even fox news x, but to no avail. on capitol hill members or the vice president security detail say they were terrified members of the b p detail at this time, we're starting to peer for their own lives. but instead from twitch is an attack against mike pence 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 by the 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. sure, i can't see it. the next day is the address, the nation from still would not concede, but this election is now all congress has certified the results. i don't want to say 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 didn't just fail to act. he chose not to act. i'm the committee will hold more hearings in september to make the argument

a trump isn't fit to ever hold office again. she advertise the al jazeera washington 1st fine as a former us associate deputy attorney general and the constitutional lawyer. he says, former vice president mike pens needs to appear before the committee to explain donald trump's directions on january, the 6. 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. but he never, ever consider doing was saying president biden won the election according to our processes. never, he's won. there will be a peaceful transition. and unfortunately, you know, you have violated the law and our appointed 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 cards just what someone would be saying when they have an obligation to faithfully

execute the laws and the violation for so flagrant that everybody in the white house except for him could see the criminal al with 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 de testified about raise money to pay off the water, 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 famous free that would use woodward burge 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 mr. paines's testimony and having mr. chip alone back and 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 say 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 credit prosecutor by the justice department. sir lincoln, security forces have rated the main anti government protest. compton, colombo, just hours after which rental work. i'm a single was sworn in as president professor say they had planned to vacate the area by friday afternoon. work from

a single has threatened to crack down on what he calls the undemocratic demonstrators who taught all those predecessor. and shortly after the protest site was clear, janice, going to ordinate was sworn in as for link as new prime minister. he's an ally of former president gotcha. by a roger pac so her resigned after fleeing to singapore last week. the rest of the cabinet has been sworn in and remains unchanged from when roger pox wasn't power. let's bring in stuff. awesome. she's joining us from columbus a step. a lot of the new faces are back, including the new prime minister. tell us what's been the reaction amongst protectors on this cabinet. the while this totally confirms, let focus is already fear that there would be no change. with that, we come a thing i've taken over from got to buy an oxide. he's been sworn in voted in on wednesday for one and yesterday, and now he has

a now says new cabinet with exactly the same as the old cabinet except for the fact that he is now holding the presidency of course, but also the finance ministry and the defense ministry does also little change at the foreign ministry, but the rest is completely the same. and this is, of course, going against what these protests have been calling for 4 months already. they want the real structural change to bring improvement to come to a very severe crisis going on. and they were really hoping that there would be a difference, a government with different people in that would be able to deal with the demands of the people. they say they haven't listened to the voice of the people for all these months. they managed to chase away, basically got to buy a fox and he left the country but with a single taking over, they feel the situation has definitely not improved. maybe even got worse. so you've been speaking to a lot of the professors. what have they been telling you about what they plan to do

next after the storming of their camp? well, the situation as very grim overnight at 2 a. m, a lot of military and police are stormed into this area where the last ball proto site was occupied by protection for the last 12 days. it was their presidential secretary of they had been rallying their peaceful speeches were being held. but then suddenly in the middle of the night, the military storm, then they beat our progress. those also lawyers, journalists, were beaten up. this dozens of people injure to people been arrested. there's a quite an international outcry also about this. greg donna, from the united states, from the british high commissioner, amnesty international. they all have been condemning de, sir, this violence use against peaceful protest. us calling on become a saying got to allow people to gather peacefully. i can show you now there's still

one camp. laugh this is basically the go to go home a camp which was meant for the previous president to be removed from office and it's still there. you can see the tans but several pants have also been demolished . this is basically the last from hold. we can say the protesters are still holding, but they're such a large military and police force right behind me. this whole area in the middle of the city is now controlled by the military. and it shows that the become a single is using his emergency power as you had declared a state of emergency a couple of days ago that he's using them now to call in the military and police. because people say his mandate is non existent because he was removed from parliament. he was voted out of parliament with the last elections because his popularity had really gone down. but this is now the way he's gonna enforce whatever is his mandates. okay,

thank you so much stuff. us and reporting from colombo, the now turkey says russia and ukraine are expected to sign a deal later on friday that will reopen black. the ports green shipments have been stuck in ukraine since the war began in february. that led to a rise in global food prices. i'll just say we're understand that the deal called for a joint control center to be established and stumble, which will schedule shipments. it says all vessels, transporting grain from ukraine will be inspected at a port in turkey. the deal also ensure a safe passage for the shipments. the vessels won't face any aggression or attacks and no military ships will be involved. the agreements will last for months and will be renewed automatically if none of the signatories object center. because the rug is stumble with more, the parties are delegations from ukraine and russia. also, the un secretary general,

the shores of the odessa port our mind is so the inspections are very important as ukrainian se ukrainians are actually curious about how safe their grades are going to be delivered to the world markets without a russian a. let's say infiltration or impact on the other hand, russians are very sensitive about that ukrainians. there won't be any weapons brought to ukraine through a through or they support a while. exporting ukrainian grain still ahead on al jazeera, a snap election triggered in italy. the president dissolves parliament after the prime minister resigned. and kevin 1900 infection surgeon, australia is a highly contagious perience puts pressure on hospitals and health services. ah
