withdrawn after hours of occupying the building. the supporters of shia cleric and politician looked other asada were demonstrating against the nomination of mom at sheer. as to danny for the position of prime minister they occupied the parliamentary building in bagdad heavily guarded green zone for hours, with little resistance from security forces. a solder says he won't accept any bit by johnny to form a new government last month, more than 70 members of parliament affiliation with us. other resigned on his orders. deepening monks of political deadlock are here on one hand and they may go to fountain with voted the sacrifice for many years and ask for reforms and change of regime. the most important thing is change of regime. the current regime useless there is carrying. there is bloodshed in the same places are coming back so the country will not work. we will do a protest 1st armed iraq's high security green zone. the british political heart of the city to reach the parliament building. it's

a 10 kilometer fortified zone. the holds the headquarters of several iraqi government offices and also houses many foreign embassies. just a moment, while he is following developments, invite that the protest who's, who's told me they're headquartered of the council of representatives. have was drawn. that is following a command from the leader, the influential shia cleric and political leader looked to the southern who asked his supporters to withdrawal. he also addressing his supporters of southern, mentioned that at their message has been conveyed the message that in his words, that his supporters have terrified the corrupt politicians in power. as you know that this is following the episode of the leaked voice recordings attributed to former prime minister,

naughty and malady. a prominent adversity of shack lyrica looked at the a so that now they're protested as have been a staging. there are demonstrations inside. they're heavily fortified, green's own prompting a tens of a heavy or security presence in and in, in the area. now up the doctor, the southern has been calling on his support and to keep it calm and peaceful and a statement from the caretaker prime minister. most of our academy are also reiterated that the processors should maintain and keep their private and did a public a facility. is it safe? now this comes after the mass congregation friday praises that was

performed by a look to the so the supporters, 2 weeks ago, massey nasha. larry is a research fellow at the harvard kennedy schools, middle east initiative. she says the demonstration was to show that looked under asada remains influential, even after withdrawing his party members from parliament. this isn't the 1st time that parliament has been started by this address. so i think the popular effect of it will wear off quickly in terms of the shaka has caused the population. i do think its purpose was just to show the political elite that offered us, that there is able to mobilize protests and to be able to signal to them that he. busy has a voice and what happens politically and in government formation. and there are, even though he withdrew his 73 parliamentarians a few weeks ago from parliament. there wasn't much resistance to, to the entering. and i think one of the reasons that happened is no one wanted to risk escalating into violence. a lot of groups in iraq are armed and any violence

against a group associated with that particular hardy movement risks creating didn't the civil war in the country. so i think people are very wary of when any violence occurs at the country. but i also think that because we had seen this kind of behavior before, and we're also during a phase of government formation rather than there being a government with clear. busy positions. busy duties assigned to everyone was a bit difficult to mobile eyes and respond to this. ah, you know, 6, your state antony blinkin says a substantial offer will be made to secure the release of basketball. a brittany greiner and former us marine pool whelan. both americans are detained in russia. lincoln says he'll speak to his russian counterparts. i gay lover off in the coming days. mocking the highest level talks between the countries since the ukraine war

began. i'm glad arisen issue. that's a top priority for us. the release of americans, paul, willing, and brittany griner. we want me to attain and must be allowed to come all a substantial proposal on the table weeks ago. facilitate the release. our governments are communicated repeatedly and directly on that proposal. in the conversation to follow up personally, and i hope you guys are the resolution. i think i'll hang on just lie from washington d. c. so do you have any more idea about what this offer involves? well they're not seen specifically, but you can read between the lines and pretty much figure out what's happening. and we've really been seen signs for weeks now that this a prisoner transfer prisoner swap was in the offing russian officials had said look, we can't even begin to talk to you until brittany greiner, that w and be

a star until her case works its way through the court system, so then you saw her earlier this month plead guilty to bring in too vague cartridges full of hashish oil. she said he was an accident, she was packing in a hurry and they've already moved the sentence in tearing. she was in the courtroom on wednesday asking for leniency, saying nobody read her her rights. it was a very confusing process. but now to have the secretary of state come out and specifically talk about britney griner and paul whelan is a very clear indication that this could be happy. and here's why these things are usually done behind closed doors. they usually announced them when the prisoners have crossed through the air space. but, and they also don't usually put a cabinet secretary at the forefront of this if they don't think that there's a really good chance of success. because obviously, if she doesn't come home now, people are in a ask, what did secretary blinkin do to get involved with? what did he did? he mess up the deal basically. so they won't say who they're talking about swapping with, but we know for years the russians have wanted back victor bout,

he's in arms dealer. he was convicted in new york of selling weapons to groups that had plans to kill americans. he was sentenced to 25 years in prison, needs about halfway through that. now that would be politically hard swap for president biden to make considering the crimes whelan is, can, has been convicted of espionage on what the u. s. as is trumped up charges. he's facing 16 years griner face up to 10 years, but still the justice department is expected to object, as they often do when it comes to prisoner swabs. is mrs. specifically said at sets a precedent, but really this comes back to joe biden. president joe biden will decide if this is going to happen. secretary blake and said, joe biden has been informed and said go ahead. had these negotiations. so all indications are, as they are very close to getting this done petticoat. thank you very much indeed. other hoops, millions of tons of grain blocked in ukrainian ports will soon reach the world market. but the opening of a joint coordination center in the sample is part of the landmark deal signed by

keith and moscow last week, allowing grain exports to resume. russia has been blocking maritime access to ukraine's black sea port, meaning millions of tons of grain have not been exported to the countries that rely on them. the deal broke by the un and turkey established a joint coordination and control center and the stumble to show you all the grain shipments ukraine and russia, have each pointed, a lead coordinator for the u. n. will retain overall control with exports, hope to be resuming this week. shorter mosque fought should be reopened 1st followed by the pots of a death and p denny. allow me, many of the world's countries rely on grains from russia and ukraine, especially those in africa. more than 25000000 tons of grain or lying and ukraine seaports. it's important to send the ships off at the earliest and to provide safe passage for the ships carrying the grains. the speedy delivery of the grains is critical or whatever, but it's practical work and not only preparatory,

a sky of blue. and for ukraine, the problem is getting this wheat out of the ports. but for farms like this, the problem is overcoming all of the obstacles to get it harvested in the 1st place . the harvest of war has been tough on farms across ukraine. russia has left its signature on these cluster bars. know what my view the market. oh, cool. but i see got me here, we can see the mark of rational forces since the beginning class work, our employees find these on our fields, the machinery of war rushes, the machines on the far end is summer winds to close the race to bring in this year's crop grows more urgent every day. john henderson, al jazeera, crass and ukraine. so come when i was 0, worsening drought, and more hungry people, africa feels the impact of climate change. and 5 people killed and landmarks
