ah ah safe then he'd been home and then international anti corruption excellence award boat now for your hero. ah.

the exports of millions of tons of ukrainian grey now set to resume via the black sea of to ukraine and russia. sign a landmark deal in a stumble. ah, hello, i'm marianne mozy in london. you're watching al jazeera, also coming up on the program. going nowhere should i and can protest as vow to keep up the fight after security forces dismantle their main protest. cam, brazilian police tactics and the spotlights again 18 people are killed during a raid on one of rio de janeiro is largest for villas. and rob rentals in san marcos, california. with a story about how placid car owners are turning their vehicles who work.

oh, hello, welcome to the program. russia and ukraine of signed a deal to reopen ukrainian ports on the black sea for grain exports raising hopes. it might ease the global food crisis. the ceremony, and as dumble was overseen by the un secretary general and the turkish president who broke the agreement, grain shipments have been stuck in ukraine since the start of the russian invasion in february, the war st. food prices soaring. ms. le, people in some of the world's poorest countries facing starvation, will a joy, coordination and control side is going to be set up in is some bull to schedule the grain shipments. each party will appoint a lead coordinator, but united nations will retain overall control all ships will be guaranteed safe

passage on their journey between odessa china mosque and usually in ukraine and assemble in ukrainian waters. chips will be accompanied by a ukrainian pilot vessel. no millet ships will be involved, secure corridors have been identified, but if necessary, de mining will be carried out by a 3rd party or inbound and outbound ships will be inspected in turkey to allay any fears of weapons smuggling, the initial deal will run for 4 months and will automatically renew if none of the signatories object estimated the entire 4 month period will be needed to clear the backlog of $20.00 to $25000000.00 tons of grain stuck inside ukraine. will the united nation sector general antonio terrace spoke with al jazeera, after the deal was announced. he said it's a promising step towards peace. from the point of view of the management of the situation, we the joined to the center,

a joint coordination center with the 4 entities. we, the inspections by the 4 entities of ships going in and out, which ships permanently controlled. i think these us created the precedence of cooperation and i hope this precedence will. busy the paved the way it will. busy probably not to be immediate, it will takes time, it will be complex, but it to pave the way for one day peace to be possible and peace in line. we have international law and un charter what our diplomatic editor james base has more now from the united nations. he says it will take months to clear the backlog of grain from ukraine in ports. this deal involves ships traveling through mind. waters were told through the channels that have been clearly identified. so i think that is one of the tests of this. how the shipping market, how the insurance market reacts. and i think there will be a test of implementation in the coming weeks to see if this goes ahead. it's not

gonna happen straight away. you're not gonna see a ship that is sailing in the next. in the next couple of days, i think we're talking a couple of weeks at the earliest for the 1st ship of grain. and remember that we're talking about 22000000 tons of grain backlog or that has formed in ukraine and caused much of the global food crisis is going to take some time to get all of that grain out. experts estimate probably about 4 months to get all of that grain out to global markets. so if you thought that it was gonna init, alleviate the global food crisis, this is a major breakthrough, but it's nothing is going to happen overnight. we'll tackle played a crucial role in securing the agreement. it controls the straits, leading into the black sea and maintained good relations with both ukraine and russia. sam has the ugly, has more from a sample turkey, as one of the biggest facilitators of this agreement offset may be,

it may pave away for a truce between ukraine and russia in the, in the coming months. it also this is, this is a diploma gain for prisons. are dawn who's a preparing for an election that is scheduled for 2023 also again of image a positive image among the international community and western allies. turkey has said away from the ukranian conflict, but it's the nato a country. let's see, great in principle, but hasn't closed the doors with the most goal. but the relationship between ukraine and russia is incredibly tense and difficult right now. ukraine or she's design, any accord with russia has said its deal was with turkey. and the un fisher explains from keith. you've has the, the, the sexual general and he's talking in optimistic terms. say, this is drone for optimism. suggesting that somehow this could lead to more talks,

that's not something that the ukrainians are looking at as far as they're concerned . this is one and done for the time being. they see this as a deal that they have signed with the united nations and with turkey. and certainly not with russia, and we had from a senior adviser to the presidential office on twitter just the last couple of hours saying look, it's very clear, there will be no russian vessels in ukrainian territorial waters under this deal. the ukrainians here are very clear that the see the, the russians as an aggressive nation. and we know that they are approaching the i, c. c, the international criminal court. to set up a whole new investigation with the intention of charging senior russian leadership with the crime of being an aggressive nation. we also see that we knew russian inspectors in any of the 3 ukrainian ports that are under their control. if there are to be any searches of ships that would happen in ukrainian waters that will happen in turkish territorial waters. so they are making this absolutely clear.

look, we have sign this deal, but we will respond to any provocation from the russians with military action immediately. ah, protest is in shall anchor avow to continue their fight after the main protest camp and colombo is forcefully cleared by security forces in the early hours of friday morning. country has been granted by months of protest. i've an economy crisis that is high. the prices of essential goods from food in feel to medicine. demonstrators said they will not rest until there is a systemic change in the government. on friday, an ally of the former president was appointed prime minister, and al fernandez has worn out from columbia, where some protest has remained camped out there. the irony is that not just finished good northern as 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 on 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 undergo toby roger boxer, and many reports indicate that he was on. it was also his personal lawyer. so for protest, as i don't know, as 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 this says, they don't want the same will same. all. 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, particularly in that violent crack down at 1 am this morning where you had hundreds of armed forces and the special police commanders 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. at least 18 people were killed in a police raid on one of rio de janeiro is largest valor, so low income communities and police st. 16 members of organized crime groups were killed. authorities describe your oppression as a success, but many brazilians are accusing the police of brutality. brazil's president, i can, the operation to a cowboy movie, or by manuel. oh tales. blood shed and fury in rio de janeiro and mal complex. oh,

defense. jo presidio kid is all just 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. little. yes, so crime and gangs are growing in this area and the police find it difficult to fight these criminals is 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. police say they robbed banks, still cars, and we're planning a tax on rival fidelis, debbie, debbie, debbie, thank you for your valuable. even if he was a criminal, this is wrong. he has to be arrested. are you going to kill?

are you going to kill oh, what the police describe is an operation? locals, a cooling, a massacre, saying the punishment doesn't hit the crying. nor that money out of the room. now at least 13 people have been killed and fighting between armed groups and libya's capital. tripoli, the special, the tower force accused the presidential guard of kidnapping their members. both groups part the governments fragile security apparatus. civilians were caught in the crossfire including people attending a wedding. nearby, state of emergency was declared following the violence and flights between materia and miss rata have been suspended. and now some comments when world health organization they've described, the heat wave in europe has apocalyptic and cold. factional climate change says the heat has claimed 1700 lives in portugal and spain alone fires of burned through

hundreds of thousands of hector's, of land across western europe. in france, blazes in these, your own de region have largely stabilized. and some of those evacuated in the past week are returning to their homes. you're watching al jazeera life from london more still to bring you on the program. donald trump's form aid is found guilty of contempt of congress for refusing to provide evidence to a panel investigating last year's capital attack and record hospital admissions in australia is a highly contagious on the con, some variant sweeps the asia pacific. ah hello there that record breaking heat wave, his sweat from west to east breaking records in germany and sweden while it's now poland, turn to see those high records,

hot and dry conditions. here we are going to see somebody come saturday, but you can see temperatures pushing up there. we've really got back corridor of heat stretching from the baltic states down towards the balkans onwards to is to the and southern areas of switzerland where we have got warnings out for the heat. but we are going to see some fierce on the storm's breakthrough knocking temperatures down, for example, in warsaw by sunday. but the heat continues to build across southern areas of europe that isn't helping wild fires that continue to burn. we've also got some fire warnings out in norway, the area of low pressure taking the rush of thunderstorms towards finland and on to western areas of rush up and coming down as well. bring in live me showers, of course faces like poland into those central areas. when windy weather as well for britain and island, but we still sing a lot of warmth for places like london and paris is who can, temperatures will be up here. they thought to come down in the east, but for places like spain and portugal, madrid, for example,

nearly touching 40 degrees on sunday with clear skies ah, how and why did who become so obsessed with this law, we were giving them a tool to hold the corrupt individuals, human rights abusers accountable, they're gonna rip this deal apart if they take the white house, the point 25. what is the world hearing what we're talking about by american today? your weekly take on us politics and society. that's the bottom line. a diverse range of stories from across the globe. from the perspective of on networks journalists on al jazeera lou . ah,

welcome back. you're watching al jazeera life from london main stories. now, russia and ukraine of signed a deal to reopen ukrainian ports on the black sea for grain exports raising. i'm at my ease at global food crisis. the ceremony and stumble was overseen by the un secretary general and the turkish president who broke the agreement, protected and shrank or avowed to continue the fight off the main protest. camping columbia was forcefully cleared by security. demonstrate to say they will not rest until there is a fundamental change within the government from friday. and ally of the former president was appointed prime minister and at least 18 people were killed in a police raid on one of diginero lodges for villas. police, a local members of organized times with the police have acute been accused of brutality while presenting a president like in the operation to a cowboy. donald trump former aid steve bannon has been found

guilty of contempt of congress for defining a subpoena by a house committee. investigating the rights on capitol hill last year, rather than jordan joins us live now for washington. ros ones now. well, we don't know yet when steve van and could be sentenced for these a 2 guilty convictions. but each of the charges of contempt of congress does carry with it a $1000.00 fine and up to 12 months in jail. now it would be up to the judge and perhaps of the sentencing jury if there is one to decide whether the prison time, if it's warranted, should be served consecutively of one to sentence after the other, which would be 2 years in total. or whether those sug times should be served concurrently, basically killing 2 birds with one stone as it were. now steve bannon had been

a long time, a senior political adviser to donald trump. the former u. s. president. he had tried to avoid appearing before the january 6th committee because he felt that he had does some protection under what's known as executive privilege. having confidential conversations with the u. s. president, so that person can make the best possible policy decision. however, the january 6 committee did not believe that ban and had that type of a legal protection. and so after repeated efforts to try to get him to appear before the panel, they were for the matter to the justice department which tried and has now won this case. we don't know yet whether steve bannon is going to appeal the guilty verdict . he certainly has that right under us law, but it is worth knowing that this is a someone who is perhaps the closest person so far to the u. s. president who has been convicted on such matters involving the attempted coup on january 6th,

2021. thank you very much. from washington roles and jordan. meanwhile, the us house select committee has heard then president donald trump sat and watched the january 6 riots unfolding. one capital for 2 and a half hours before taking action shot were chancey reports on this. now. 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, out of the ventral video message cooling on the writers to go home after they reached the capital in 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, trump retired to the white house dining room where he remained for over 2 and a half hours. the cool logs are 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? were you aware of any phone call president united states to the attorney general or the united states that day? you have any phone call of the united states, the secretary of homeland security. i'm not aware of that. those in the white house growing more alarmed, desperate together president to do something. so 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 members of

the b p t. o. at this time we're starting to but instead from twitter metallic 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 me that the president did not want to include any sort of mention of peace. and that tweet appending the committee argue that only when it was clear that any attempt to stop the votes edification 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 have to go home now. we have to have peace. sure. i can't see it very well. the next day is the address, the nation trump still would not conceal 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. 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 amber times the al jazeera washington. we go to lab and now fire cruise, a warning that the remaining grain silo is that a report? risk of collapse, rising temperatures and fomentation of the grains by fire at the storage facility last month. silos were badly damaged in the explosion and at the port in 2020, and killed more than 200 people. then hunter has more from beirut. the silos behind me add, they will pour to experts as well as fire fighters. tell us that 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 we've been corn, they are slowly burning. and if they continue to burn, or if you remove them, then 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 the ignited last night. fire fighters are telling us that the army created a coordinate around the structure and not allowing them to get close because of the risk of, of, of 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 is 9 meters under ground, filled with grain filled with corn, which is turning into oil. so really, this, the silos is, has a lot of symbolic meaning for it, for the people of the city and of this, of this country. but in particular, for the victims of 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 solved. now a surgeon current of ours case is in australia or is putting pressure on hospitals there. this is due to a highly contagious, sub variant of ami kron is driving a fresh way. infections across the asia pacific. sarah clock reports now from brisbin. 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 and 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 still use 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 thought shot gives additional potential. 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 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 barriers. when you saw the variance of the latest challenge to china, 0 time policy was shanghai rolling out mass testing. and residents now required to take a p. c. i covered 19 test, at least once a week until august. the chinese territory of 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. and the warning from the health agency that

it could search to over 200000 daily cases. next month, sarah clark, al jazeera out sewing fuel prices while white have made many people think seriously about buying an electric car. but some enthusiast contract kyle and the classics of yesterday. and that love is thought for creation as new hybrid vehicles are valuable as now from san marcos, california work wagner's volkswagen rolled off the assembly line back in 1962. i'd say it's definitely my daily driver. i'm if i'm going a grocery shopping of i'm going to hockey. ah, if i'm running errands like this is, this is a car. well, most beetles from the kennedy era have long since made a one way trip to the junkyard. wenders runs like a dream and fast to because this old beadle is now an electric vehicle. it's clean, it's quiet. ah, it's reliable. there's a lot less moving parts in

a lot lesson go wrong. is a joy to drive or, and more owners have broken down or mechanically challenge classic cars or taking them to shops like e, the west, where owner mike bream and his expert crew flipped them from fossil fuel to electron sign up. we remove the engine. ah, in associated components, so the fuel tank, the exhaust system, sometimes the transmission, all of these are replaced with an electric motor and at tesla battery, there seems to be no shortage of tesla drivers, wrecking their cars and providing a plentiful supply of parts. cars being retrofitted here include a classic b, m, w, a sleek, black corvette, and even a goal wing delorean, ready for a trip back to the future. a cost of an electric overhaul ranges from $18000.00 to $30000.00. if you want to convert your classic car to an electric vehicle,

you're gonna need some patience at this shop. for example, the waiting list for new customers is 5 year years. so our typical customer is one that really loves their car either it has a, you know, significance to the family. maybe it's been handed down or you know, customer has driven it since high school. so typically, automotive enthusiasts best describes our customers. right now. those customers are also laughing at sky high fuel prices. bream says he's concerned about the environment and global warming, but reducing c o 2 emissions isn't his big motivation. a motor had. i'm a hot rodder, i'm a speed guy. i'm wagner, is proud. that is all v w isn't making the climate crisis worse. i'm excited to you know, take it up in a mountain. it's driving through the national forest, not polluting anything. whether it's for going green or going for speed, classic cars or getting a new electronic lease on life. robert l.
