the next 60 minutes. delegations from russia and ukraine are meeting in istanbul and are expected to sign a deal that would restart grain exports altered by the war. sri lanka, new cabinet, has been sworn in ours after security forces cracked down on an anti government protest camp in the capital 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 hears from donald trump's, former aides, who say the president refused to call off the mob that stormed capitol hill. and in bay root intense heat sets off fires at the size of the 2020 explosion that devastated the city. i'm driving ash with sport has no eliles retains, is 200 meters well title in style. he led home on american at 123 in oregon, running the 3rd fastest time in history to right. michael johnson's u. s. record ah,

now delegates have arrived in istanbul ahead of the signing of the deal involving russia, ukraine, turkey, and the united nations. that will re open ports and the black sea un secretary general, antonio gutierrez, will oversee the agreement with turkish president. their supply bar to one grain shipments had been stuck in ukraine's, and the war began back in february. and that's led to a rise in global food prices. while al jazeera understands the best deal calls for a joint control center to be set up in istanbul, which will shed your shipments. ukrainian vessels will guide the grain ships through mind waters in and out of port. russia agrees not to attack any of the shipments as they move and turkey with support. the united nations will inspect the ships to lay any russian fears of weapons smuggling. the agreement will last 4 months and be renewed automatically, will be getting more reaction out of ukraine very shortly with allan fisher and kid,

but fast since and coffee. she's across the 4th in a stumble to them. turkey's really playing quite the big role here. well there's definitely so you play the big play, the big role as churches. friends is one of the unique leaders in the world who can speak to both you and russian friends at the very same time. turkey is a nasal member and when it comes to the lexi and the conflict, the war in your brain is as express the brain and it is totally against the russian invasion. but also turkey has strong relationship with russia. that's why the kennel was always open. both nato and united nations have been always happy that turkey was the biggest, open diplomatic channels with russia and ukraine at the very same time. and today, in like 25 minutes or half an hour,

let's say we are expecting russia ukraine. the united nations and turkey signed an agreement as an agreement that has been awaited for a long time. it has been negotiated by the united nation by festal stations of the turkish capital. for 2 and a half months. we know that from a rain inside the infrastructure minutes, there will be attending this agreement signing signature ceremony and from russia, defense minister sag is showing who will be attending. but i have to underline one thing as ukraine for presidential adviser has waited 3 since they in the last one hours. ukraine will not be signing a document with russia. ukraine will be signing that document with the united nations and to re key and russia separate that will be signed and good document with the united nations and turkey. and through these 2 documents,

both ukraine's and rushes. who are the biggest grain exporters of the world will be exporting they raised to the world markets, also ukraine's presidential advisory polio just stated, in his suite, beth, russia will not be supporting the vessels during these exports. and if there's an approval occasion, it will be militarily responded to them, cuz he only that with all the latest across from is stumble. thank you. sent him. well, that's now across to kids where alan fish is across things for us. alan is we've been hearing that from, from cinema, the ukrainians. very careful to say this isn't to deal with russia, but rather with the united nations. they want to make it absolutely clear that they're dealing with the united nations. there are many caveats to their steel that they say have been inserted. you've got to remember that until late on

thursday night here and keep people were saying that this wasn't a done deal, even though the united nations and turkey were saying that the final word thing had been agreed. so clearly it's gone to the last possible minute before the ukrainians have signed, or they have made it clear that there will be no russian ships and ukrainian waters . they say the reality is that russia is an aggressive nation, therefore they will not be in ukrainian waters. they're also saying there will be no russian officials at any ukrainian port and the see if there's any provocation. then that will be met immediately with a military response, and they want to make clear that any searches that are carried out of ships, which of course, is a key part of the agreement for the russians. while that will be done in turkish territorial waters rather than anywhere in ukraine, they want to make it absolutely clear that they are doing this to try and get the grain out of the port rather than because they want to reach any sort of deal with

the russians and just how quickly do you think alan, that they can actually get these ukranian grain shipments moving well, of course what they're saying is that it could be a very short space of time before they actually get some of the ships coming in. and then moving out, but there are problems to that. and that is perhaps optimistic 1st of all, the good to make sure that those waterways are clear. now the ukrainians of saying they will guide the ships and making sure that they don't go anywhere near the mines that have been laid in these ports because they didn't want a russian amphibious assault. but they may have to clear some of the minds as well . and at the moment, the ukranian navy, some of them are training in scotland with the royal navy of the united kingdom. and they are working on the mind hunter, ships that are there that are going to be given to the ukrainian dca. they what that's not going to be a short process. he is another complication. if you're running a shipping line and you're about to send a ship and the costs go up dramatically,

because of course, the insurance will go up because you're sailing into a war zone where there are mines. and there is the possibility of something coming at to from the sky. so that is going to be a problem. people might not be queueing up to do this, but the ukrainians desperately need to start moving this green. because of course, remember this 25000000 tons of green, that is there is from last year's harvest. and so they're starting know across ukraine to begin this year's harvest. and if they don't have those silos clear, then there's no where to put that grain. and that means that the problem is that the world is seen with food shortages will stretch in to 2023 and perhaps even beyond. so you can see why it was at betty important to the united nation, but also to russia and to ukraine, to get some sort of deal to get the grain moving and get that as soon as possible and fashion a little than it has frontier. thank you. very much, hon. well,

let's now take a closer look at what this still means to some of the african countries that rely very heavily on ukrainian grain. we can speak to simon roberts, he's a professor of economics at the university of johannesburg, and he joins us today from the gone and capital across. simon, we know that this war has really come at a time when many african countries in particular vulnerable the one of africa, for instance, grappling with a terrible drought. we've even seen the wild food program cut aid to south. you don, can you talk us through some of the concrete impacts the steel might have thanks very much for having me on. yes, i mean, this deal will make a big difference to, to world food markets and make a big difference therefore, to the prices that african countries are facing. but i think it's also very important to recognize that the rescue crane war has really compounded the fact that already there and the context of climate change pointed out how it's even more urgent to address those factors. and this is why, why african countries have not been realizing their tension for increasing our

cultural production as bade them very well. these, these will shocks. well, i'm curious then simon, why is africa quite so dependent on imported grant? i know there have been efforts to attend more to indigenous grains, for instance, that how long would a shift like that potentially take so there are things that will take quite a while, which is around changing food systems, of course. but there are things that can be done that could be quite quick. our work is working, particularly incurred. there is in southern east africa and he points to the fact that pockets are working very badly for farmers and for households in those regions . and actual fact dealing with those things could be done much more and it would have a really big impact on the food prices that households are facing. for example, and roby. when i say the markets are not working well, wiki very badly, what it means is that farmers in areas with great potential to expand their culture and actually getting very low prices in many african countries. but consumers and

households and cities paying very, very high prices. so we'll world to prices have gone up because of the rest of the k war and actual fact some of the factors driving prices even higher are bigger. and these are the factors which underlie these very poorly working bucket. well right now says please try to main areas. very sorry, keep going. come in because i am curious about the impact and urban areas because these high food prices, we've seen this lack of ukrainian grain, potentially then contributes then to potential for conflict or unrest. do you think that that might be the case? there are really great pressures in many african cities around around food prices. we're seeing base prices, for example, east africa, going up to incredibly high level $750.00, a tonne to $800.00 a ton of the price on the input side. also, we shouldn't forget about going up to very, very high levels, but the price increases in many african cities have been much greater effect of the

increases in world prices, which is something that we think has not had enough attention. and that's because the problems with these markets working within regions. so it's, you know, there's the potential to meet the demands in east africa. an actual fact from errors which had good rains in the last couple of years to the southwest attends india and zambia. but that means making regional markets work much more effectively . and the positive thing is that these things are actually in the hands of african governments address to really realize the potential in areas that countries like them be in areas like the southwest pennsylvania. but to transfer able to transport and improve logistics systems to increase production, transport that tears of need that is in the horn of africa and other parts of east africa. and that's what we think needs much, much more attention because those are the issues that are going to come up more and more as we see climate change coming. so you created russian war is the immediate impact will be impacted in the last few months. but, but the climate change impacts are coming down the track fast and we really need to

be pointing to interventions that can address those impacts. and a and simon roberts, there, professor of economics at the university of diana's back. thanks for sharing your expertise with us on out a 0. i'm thank you. now moving on and a us house committee investigating the january 6 riots says the former president, donald trump chose not to act as deadly violence unfolded on capitol hill to form the white house to office. have given evidence suggesting that trump initially dismissed calls to try to deescalate the situation. she returns the report now from washington d. c. 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 eventful video message cooling on the right has to go home after they've reached the capital. and more evidence is presented, the trump wanted to join, the protest is and let me go into a heated argument with secret service agents who refused to take them. 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, where 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 when trump children, his closest allies, the republican leadership in congress, even fox news hosts, 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 the much but instead from which 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 support his 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 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. ok. 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 the al jazeera washington while planting more heads, fail this news hour, including covered 19 infections such in australia as a new sub there and puts pressure on hospitals and health services. the lead recordings that are shifting a rock political deadlock to social media. and in ford, we have an exclusive interview with african football or a be yes,

money. ah, now sri lankan security forces have rated the main anti government protest camp in the capital colombo, just hours after running over chrome, a single was sworn in as president protest to say they had planned to vacate that area by friday afternoon. think from a singer has threatened to crack down on what he calls the undemocratic demonstrators who toppled his predecessor. shortly after that protest site was cleared. denise, good, ordinary was sworn in as sri lanka, new prime minister. he is though an ally a former president, got to buy a roger parker. well, let's get more on this with michelle fernandez. she is in columbia for us now. a lot of familiar faces in this new government. i see absolutely, i mean the irony is that not just finished northerners prime minister, but a little while later we also had the new president swearing in his cabinet. and almost

every single face is the same. ah, save us one particular individual ali subway, who has sworn in as a foreign minister. now, most of obviously the cabinet then are being elected being selected by the raj boxes. and even the new foreign minister happened to be the justice minister under guitar barrage boxer and many reports indicate that he was on. it was also his person, a lawyer. so for protest, as i don't know, you can see many of them behind me it's, it's quite dark now here in colombo. but there is still a clutch of protestors who are alongside the barricade, which kind of closes off the president's office. and that's what such a massive crackdown was deployed for this morning. i mean what they're saying, they don't want the same old same old. they want a sort of a new culture. they want a system change,

but this does not seem to be happening. run a vicar seeing how the new president basically saying he's the friend of the people and not the raj boxes when challenged or asked yesterday. but given his actions are particularly in that violent crack down at one in this morning where you had hundreds of armed forces and a special police commandos unit, sweeping everybody out of that area a violently assaulting them. it just seems that it's just the same old just with a different name. i mean, i imagine there's plenty of anger after that storming of the protest can, what are the demonstrators, they're telling you that they're planning now? i think they're taking stock. i mean, we did have the sort of got a go village, is it still coil? i mean, the, the sort of protest grounds that was set up a many, many months ago that started off this campaign to get rid of president, got our b roger boxer. they had success on the 9th of july after they stormed his residence

and literally forced him to run away from the country on a military flight. but what they say is, that's not enough. when runner become a singer, was brought in. there were those who said that he's the only man for the job. he has the sort of credentials, the international contacts. and he's got more than 40 years in politics in parliament. but this just shows that he's going down the same route as the roger boxes in a desperate bid to consolidate his power. obviously, to intimidate protesters and try and get on yes shall. anchor obviously is on its knees. there's an economic crisis which is unprecedented in the memory of this country. we've had inflation of food inflation hitting in excess of 80 percent of fuel has gone up to 3 times its original price. so people are really, really struggling. and what people have to see is that they will continue the struggle. yes, the numbers have kind of been really reduced. obviously there was

a massive track down. people are taking stock wondering what to do. there were 9 protesters who were arrested during that crack down one lawyer despite showing his id. and we've just heard that the magistrate in this local era has given those 9 are protested bill. so that is something that people are happy about, but they say they're not going to be intimidated. they say, you know, bullets and tear gas and this kind of show of force. they faced it in the last couple of months and they are all willing to come together and fight it again and often and as they're on the ground for us in calendar. thank you, ma'am. now moving on and a surge in corona virus cases and australia is putting pressure on hospitals there . it's due to a highly contagious, sub variant of army kron. that's now driving a fresh wave of coven 19 infections across the asia pacific. sarah clark reports now from bisman. hospital admissions from covered 19, are at record levels in some states in australia, the countries in the grip of

a 3rd wave of the oma kron 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 probably gonna reach record numbers and record numbers in hospital potentially in various parts of the country now, which is the concern bidding, as i said, we're starting from a complete position of disadvantage in having hospital which are completely full as they normally are. astrology was among the most heavily vaccinated countries against clothing. 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, there's been caution to take up the offer. the bull shock give the additional protection we've seen that very clearly from across the world. so essentially we just need to get more of those shots in the new wave infections 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, epidemiologist. so encouraging pacific nations to expand the roll out of the 4th dose of the covered 19 vaccine to avert a spike in infections in countries to kimmy, asian pacific region, 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 variance of the latest challenge to china. 0 type of policy is shanghai rolling out mass testing. and residents now required to take a p. c, coven, 19 test. at least once a week until august. the chinese territory, macau, a government imposed extended lockdown 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 warning from the health agency that it

could serge 2 over 200000 daily cases. next month, sir clark al jazeera or fire cruise and lebanon's capital are wanting that the remaining grain silos at the buried port are now at risk of collapsing. rising temperatures and fermentation of the grain sparked fires at the storage facilities last month. the silos wall ready badly damaged in the explosion at bay report in 2020 that killed more than 200 people saying a hotter has more from beirut, the silos behind me at baby port, the experts as well as firefighters. tell us that the yes indeed, they risk collapse. it's hard to say when it could be in the next few hours, days, or, or even weeks. but the bottom line is this, the wheat, 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 according to 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 is the silos is it has a lot of symbolic meaning for, 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 kills 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 solved. while iraq's government has been in a political deadlock for months, but newly leaked audio recordings of shifted the dispute to social media, the clips are allegedly a former prime minister neary aleki, making disparaging comments about other political leaders, including shia cleric knocked out our solder muffler and otherwise, he had reports now from baghdad. oh, no. league to audio recordings attributed to former prime minister, northern america are trending in iraq. in this clip to min allegedly urge america to take power by force and eliminate his rivals. later they appear to pledge their

allegiance and offer american protection from iran, and not too much there must be bloodshed in order for us to take control. this is recommended by ayatollah marissa. a blogger recently published the clips on his twitter account in one malik, he allegedly insult his rival. she clinic mocked her the southern center. i know the sa just, it's very well. i fought them in basra, karbala and, and by god, they're cowards and philosophy, nick out for the were due to a conflict between mulkey and sutter is old releasing. these recordings now means the iranian roll and healing the rest between she had politicians is declining. it also indicates is likely disagreement between mulky and his allies within the iranian backed coalition itself. as today's money medic, his office as the recordings are fake, but the prosecutor has opened an investigation. this development comes against the

backdrop of a heated dispute between raven blocks about forming a government. mackey and his iranian backed allies was to form a consensus government. however, southern has rejected the group accusing the politicians of corruptions. parliament has been dead not over legislative elections. unable to elect a new president, tensions escalated up to 73, sutter affiliated and peace. quit last month. southern malik, you have exchanged a counter statement to each encounter $300.00. what initial force saw that a some one tens of 1000 suppose to death for friday. prayers the preacher already rated saw that his message of new plasma ship with iranian backed parties, the head of the pro iran alpha to coalition had, in amity has dismissed the recordings of being alive. speaking get

a she or religious event in baghdad. amity said, they are aimed at d. c, a blazing iraq. but the blogger has promised to publish more recordings with what he describes as more interesting content. that means the world of words between iraqi politicians is unlikely to end any time soon. ma'am with abdullah hate algebra, but that it is now time for the weather in his run. all things in the climate are connected. did you know that this term year which is pretty wet, tropical africa, you tend to generate bands of showers? could easily ways to go across the whole of africa only way, whereas everywhere underneath and gets wet, sometimes it gets flooded. this last batch on the one before produce flooding on the streets of decker and cynical than when they go off shore. these might turn into hurricane, so it's actually quite significant what they do in africa itself. as i said, this is the seasonal event, just a bit annoying. now the latest,

quite significant one is just come off a ethiopian. hi this, this band here stretches down from chad. through the central african republic than towards the r c, and that's going to produce a pretty heavy res already produced. flooding in jupiter in south student setting is very likely as it goes slowly, west was as well as slightly connected, but not directly is what's just happened in the hall of africa. you know, full well somalia, suffering, it dreadful drive to the moment. this brief bit of flooding probably will relieve it, but it's an indication of what happens on the edge affects. the monsoon catches some parts of somali mortgage issue in particular. then there's a huge got to be pick up. the results. are those easterly ways that again come off the ethiopian harden's mostella had here on out as aaron i get and wrapped in a brazilian fidela off to another police raids kills 18 people. i'm rob rentals in san marcos, california with a story about how classic car owners are turning their vehicles electric

safe going home and then international intake corruption excellence award boat. now for your hero, lou ah ah, hello there, i'm miss darcy, tame doha. let's remind you about top stories here. this ellen, russia, ukraine, turkey and the united nations will shortly sign agreements to re open ports and the black sea. you're watching live pictures. now from istanbul of the podium where that ceremony will take place. grain shipments have been stuck in ukraine since the

defense. your presidio kid is all just he has you. i would have preferred for them not to react and for us to arrest the 14 or 15 people who would have faced justice . unfortunately, they chose to react and attacks the police officers. brazilian president j. a bull scenario has long favoured heavy handed police tactics. while little here, so crime and gangs are growing in this area and the police find it difficult to fight these criminals. it's similar to when we watch cowboy movies in the past. whenever someone committed the crime in the us and ran away, the public defender's office says there are many signs of human rights violations. most the victims are accused of being gang members. please say they robbed banks, still cars, and we're planning a tax on rival fidelis. that either bank, if you're buying theodore, even if he was a criminal, this is wrong. he has to be arrested. are you going to kill?
