you're watching alger 0 live from our headquarters and del himes, eddie and abigail also coming up for him to tweet out the message about mike pence . it was him pouring gasoline on the fire and making it much worse. a us congressional committee here is from donald trump's, former aides, who say the president refused to call off the mob. that storm capitol hill hopes are high for a deal that would restart green exports from the ukrainian ports of odessa and in bay roots intense heat sets off fires at the sight of the 2020 explosion that devastated the city. ah, hello, we begin and sure lanka where a security forces have rated the main anti government protest, camping colombo, just hours after renelle. what from a single was sworn in as president rochester say. they had planned to vacate the

area by friday afternoon. woocommerce single has threatened to cracked what he calls the undemocratic demonstrators and toppled his predecessor. shortly after the protest, i was clara jean as good words, and i was sworn in as a link as new prime minister. he's an ally of former president, justify roger black. so the rest of the cabinet is expected to be sworn in later on friday. let's get more on this with michelle fernandez. she's joining us from colombo, so a lot of the new faces have showed up once again, me now in this new cabinet as well as the new prime minister, tell us what the reaction has been to that. it's almost what the people new. it's just the same old, same all just by a different description. and this is borne out by the fact a, by a when president ronald vicar missing her, chose that tribe in a say, it's very much a roger puts a loyalist in terms of the cabinet list. i was sent

a list, obviously in the cabinet. the new cabinets on in is more or less the very same cabinet as the old one. even the defense secretary of very staunch supporter of the former president, go to our b roger boxer. ah, one of the leading commanders during the war. a major general retired major to come again to ratner has been re appointed as defense secretary, which all goes to show that there might be a new name and a new person in the top office. but it very much seems to be that those who have been appointed are all raj fox loyalists. so that's what it seems like. so the reaction, i mean if i can just show you here, people are still protesting. we haven't seen a violent pushback quite frankly. but the anger, the frustration is still there, but just step out of view to let you see behind me there is this silent demonstration or sat to grow her by protesters are sitting right opposite of the barricade. now for them. or what they have said is the crack down that was launched

in the early hours of this morning at 1 o'clock in the morning by hundreds of military and special task force. police commanders was completely unwarranted against peaceful protest. ers, and as you can see, the, the line here of the barricade and just beyond it, i mean right now within what we can see, the 1st line is police are equipped with their gas masks. the 2nd line is special police commanders, again, are all armed to the t obviously, and the line behind that is our members of the army are all again, are ready with riot gear and things like that. so there's a lot of anger about the we that drunk become missing him, his government have launched this crack down. so it is a new cabinet, old faces as we are saying. what will the protesters though sitting behind you do next, and how much pressure are they putting on the cabinet and the prime minister if any

at all it's obviously just a black an of a little while yet. since we had that swearing in, but the protest as that massive movement of public anger that we saw in the lead into this that ultimately blew up on the 9th of july, where people literally overran the president's office, of forcing him to flee, be evacuated to see if safety and then literally freed the country in a military plan because he couldn't get the get out any other way. that was the level of anger that the people had. and the reason for that was what they had done to this country. now the fact that there is a new cabinet, you have a president, ronald vicar, missing her a yesterday saying publicly that he's not a friend of the roger boxes that he's a friend of the people and that he will work for the people. ah, strangely, the people don't think so. i mean, it's the same people that he says he's the great friend of that voted him out because they had no confidence. enron, nova grimacing her. and that hasn't changed. and it's just got all the worse.

because he seems to be saying one thing and his actions demonstrate completely the dire opposite of that. because a way this cracked down was launched when he was a mid prime minister by go to a barrage boxer, he began to make sort of conciliatory gestures like saying, he respected the protest as right to descend, to speak up. or, you know, essentially saying that he would have their voice represented in sort of negotiations with the government. all of these things have turned out just to be rhetoric when you see that massive of a sort of show of force that we saw yesterday. obviously, the, the attorney general, the attorney general, ah, you know, also being consulted about what and where the protested can be. but at the end of the day, this was a show of force to intimidate and to dissuade protested from taking a stand or a thank you so much. we're now fernandez reporting from colombo. are you

a house committee? investigating the january 6 riot says that the former president, donald trump chose not to act as deadly violence unfolded on capitol hill. to former white house offers have given evidence, suggesting trump, initially just miss coles to de escalate the situation. she returns the report earlier. the committees focus was the 187 minutes between donald trump finishing his white house speech to the followers he summoned on january the 6th, out of the ventral video message cooling on the writers to go home after they've reached the capital and more evidences present the trump wanted to join the protest is 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 the word insurrection, qu whatever. we all knew, that this would move from a normal democratic public event into something else. having been rebuffed, trump retired 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. be aware of 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 with 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 twitch is an attack against like pants 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 that the president did not want to include any sort of mention of peace in that tweet. pending the 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 for the next day of the address. the nation trump still would not conceive, 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. 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 find the former us associate deputy attorney general and the constitutional lawyer. the says former vice president mike pence needs to appear before the committee to explain donald trump's directions on january, the 6th. even the statement that a 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 never, 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 brazil 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 a 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 famous free that would use woodward burge the in, 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 pure you take no st. 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. the that will gravitate all eyes in the whole nation, that in my judgement could be sufficient to push this into a credit prosecutor by the justice department. us president joe biden is

ukraine has 3 ports that are open for trade and exports. 2 of them are all were the under russian control on it is only or best support which is under the control of the ukrainians, but the shores of the port are mind. 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 and through a through or they support a while. exporting ukrainian a grain. russia says it has destroyed for hugh mars. rocket launchers in ukraine since the beginning of july. those are the longer range precision missiles provided

situation of government as the city has been broken by the dozen golf, besides from the sky and muddy the 3 surrounding towns controlled by the canadians . but just as a very things the, the like on going yet, cities are not to the game. and the commanders who we talk to mentioned that that means that the defense of jeff got very strong and they have been getting more and more of the heavy artillery from the way at least 18 people have been killed in a police raid on wanna rio de janeiro, largest vellows or low income communities. authorities have described the success of the operation. but many brazilians are choosing the police of brutality. laura burton, manley reports, oh, tales, blood shed and fury in rio de janeiro and mal complex. oh,

the corn that is stabilizing the, the structure, thousands of tons of leaf and corn. they are slowly burning. and if they continue to burn, or if you remove them, them the structure collapses. if i just get out of the way you can see the smoke rising in recent weeks, there has been really a series of, of fires. the last one was ignited last night. fire fighters are telling us that the army created a cordon around the structure, not allowing them to get close because of the risk of, of, of it collapsing. and they don't have the equipment in order to reach the source of the fire. so if this continues to burn, then the what really holds the silos up to keep it standing will continue to burn and there's 9 meters under ground, filled with grain filled with corn, which is turning into oil. so really, this, the silos is it has

a lot of symbolic meaning for the, for the people of the city and of this, of this country. but in particular, for the victims, the families of the victims of this devastating blast which really killed more than 200 people and devastated neighborhoods. they see this as a witness, a witness to a crime that still has not, has not been sold to the world of flooding championships. now noah lyles has retained his 200 metres title by running the 3rd fast this time in history. and in the women's event, sharika jackson broke the championship record. david stokes would be action. oh that you under me to final was billed as a jewel between the defending champion. no, a los and its fellow american 18 year old arion nitin. but not long after the starting gun was fired, it was clear that loyalty was in
