4:02 pm
ah welcome to the news. our ukraine says it's ready to dispatch the 1st shipments of grain from its black c ports. for the blood of his zalinski says he's waiting for the go ahead from the un and turkey. about 25000000 tons of grain have been stuck in ukraine's port since russia invaded in february, while john henderson, his lie for us in the port city of odessa. and it's been a very tense wait and we're still waiting. that's right, so here waiting for the green light as far as we know, those ships are laden with grain. they are sitting at the ports, but none have left so far. we are told they're waiting for the green light, and one of the issues here is that they've created a new safe channel for those ships to travel through. so go in the black sea behind me and travel southward, but they have to make perfectly clear exactly where those lanes are, so that with
4:03 pm
a war waging all around it, nobody strikes near those ships. and we should note to the port of a desa, which is just over there. we're not allowed to show it, but it's very close to where i am, has been struck by the russians one day after they signed this agreement, allowing for this channel for these ships to carry out this grain so that the world can avert a global food crisis we are told. ready those ships, the 1st of them are expected to leave today or tomorrow, so it could happen at any time. but they are loaded up and waiting to go look on our site is fully prepared. we sent all the signals, are partners, do you and turkey, and our military guarantees the security situation. the minister of the infrastructure is in direct contact with turkey and the un. we're waiting for them to give the go ahead enough. of course,
4:04 pm
folk is also on the fighting that continues across ukraine just because up to speed on what we know. right. that was a little more lengthy, the president of ukraine speaking. also, i should mentioned that there were a g 7 ambassadors here for that announcement on the grain. but as that happened, a tax continued across the country, reminding people of just how dangerous this place is. and why it's been such an issue to get the ships out of port they've been held in there because of the danger . and the biggest incident that we heard of today was in the don't yet reason. region is a town called all and if crap and the russian forces were the 1st to come out with this news, they claimed that ukraine struck a prison in that area of prison in their mind in their statement that was full of prisoners of war on the ukrainian side, now 40 people are alleged to have died and 75 people wounded in that event.
4:05 pm
ukraine's military ministry says that that is not what happened at all. they say that it was the russians who attacked that prison. they were in charge of it in the 1st place. so we have very much, a he said she said story, but a major incident there. also, there have been attacks in her son that is where ukrainian forces are pushing in toward russian forces. they cut off a bridge trying to isolate the russians. they're said that they can't resupply, they can't communicate with their colleagues. and those are just a couple of the attacks that have happened across the country. and the worry right here is when that grain leaves this area, they want to make sure there are no attacks that impede the progress of those ships, even as the war goes on till 100 fourths in a dozen. thank you, joe. well, russia's foreign minister psychological says that he scheduled a phone call with the us secretary of state anthony, blinking. it'll be the 1st conversation between the 2 top,
4:06 pm
definitely since restroom painted ukraine in february. the love didn't confirm a date, but says the agenda is still work in progress. now the german city of hanover is going to turn off hot water in municipal buildings to save energy. public places like gyms and swimming pools will provide any cold water, sand washing and showers. it's the latest german city to introduce measure the head of the winter. after russia dramatically reduced gas supplies, many cities including the capital, berlin has switched off the lights in government buildings and turned off fountain . he was present joe biden, and chinese president teaching pings for 2 hours on thursday. it will be described as a 10 phone call present. she has worn by not to play with fire with regard to taiwan us. house speaker, nancy pelosi is reportedly planning a visit to the island which basing regards as part of its territory. the us president raised allegations of genocide and false labor if we could, muslims by miss not reported to discuss removing us terrace on chinese goods. but
4:07 pm
he has accused beijing of unfair trade practices with hom, american work as well. china based janice patrick fault explains the latest reactions, beijing on that call. well, the foreign ministry, more or less echoed what present she had to say to present by the non the topic of taiwan in that conversation, which was essentially that beijing was resolutely opposed to what it sees as an external interference. and those who played with fire would get burnt. one of the interesting questions that was posed to the foreign ministry spokesperson, jerry jan today though, was whether or not china would continue to engage with the u. s. in these dialogues . if nancy pelosi visit to taiwan does indeed go ahead to lunch, antique china has repeatedly made it clear to the u. s. s. serious concern of speaker policies potential visit to taiwan at a firm a position to the visit. hey, listen if the u. s. saw it challenges, i reply, it will be confronted with counter measures or possible consequences that may arise
4:08 pm
from this will be borne by the us side. now he said that the 2 lead as a degree to stay in touch, but he didn't really elaborate on whether not this might be impacted by that potential visit by the u. s. has speaker beijing has wound previously of multiple cancer measures of the visit does go ahead. we don't know whether it might be a diplomatic response or military response, but certainly it would be seen as a significant set back if the 2 leaders were to stop talking to one another as they have been since president biden came to office these sessions where they've come together and discussed that differences if you like, have been key really to stopping this relationship from going off the rails. and as a matter of fact, reports have said that the 2 leaders told their aids to organize an in person meeting the next time rounds, or they speak with one a low robert kelly of pearson university and south korea says taiwan is fragmented
4:09 pm
us, china relations. i think taiwan has really grown insignificant in the signer your relationship in the last few years. um present, gigi ping of china is now looking to stay in power in the fall on. the 3rd term is really so campaign of which is fairly unprecedented in china. and he's, but he's campaigned on nationalism for this and reification with taiwan. i think there's service sends out there that this is become sort of like the mission of his presidency that he needs to do this before he passed away. and on the other hand, on the american side, joseph biden has been less than big us about the american security commitment to taiwan as president. in the past, your viewers will probably recall that the u. s. is making recall strategic ambiguity. there was this kind of here there, it was dance around, the issue needs independence and things like that and others. but there's been a hawkish turn in the united states on china in the last few years that began under trump and continued into without bio ministration. and that is included, you know, more over statements about us willingness to defend. i want so chinese new i states are kind of going in different directions on taiwan that the relationship is,
4:10 pm
or fragments over this issue. and i think that's why you're getting such a boy response was the teacher is actually the polling and i won, i mean, most tight havanese actually realized what would happen if they actually made some kind of real effort at a breach with china. i mean, obviously they're alignments and they're gonna allow the united states and they want american protection and weapons so they can resist any kind of chinese incursions. but he's actually well served by the policies strategic ambiguity. and broadly, like i said, i'm, it's actually look at the polling time. anything realizes and you not actually want the number of people actually want to open declaration of independence is quite low . well, so i had hail the knees are up for auction, the tropical people and the activist 5th could become a climate catastrophe. kentucky floods at least 8 people have died and the state of emergency is in place. uninstall formula, one risks to the retirement of full time world champion, bust in battle. ah,
4:11 pm
the world bank says it went through financial assistance and so that puts economy reforms in place. the country has been plunged into a deep financial crisis since 2019 rank as new present renew. kraemer singer has promised to get the economy back on track of the protests for his predecessor to resign. but fernandez has moved from columbus. the groups might be smaller, that one we've seen in recent months, but no less vocal. the banner says renelle must take responsibility for this crackdown. and people here from civil society representatives of the protest groups saying that the government has no right to launch this violent crack down on the protesters and pick them off one by one, arresting them for essentially voicing their opposition. people now see the proto
4:12 pm
site as the site of bender that us previously plus the production site that gave people, cottage, gas, b burn, replication. people came together. they and i was a, was a site where everybody can talk completely. but now it is the fate of p r and the government is painting that. and it's quite clear that the government in no means want protest to build up again, as you can see behind me or protest says have taken a seat. i live all, i'm sort of started this silent demonstration. they've said they're not going to be violent, but they're just making their voices heard over here. you can see the huge are band of are police of security. there's army on the other side, this police, this special task force commanders, the protest as have been told to stick to the protest grounds on the other side. and it's quite clear, as i said, that this is to prevent any sort of big gatherings or crowds getting together
4:13 pm
and coming close to what this struggle was against. initially, the government of got our b roger boxer. and now that of run a vicar missing her. the mazda 3 is accused as using pfizer plains to fire, unguided munitions and civilian areas. now that's according to a report by a group of independent investigators me him all witness. they say these into is using the jets to target arm group. supposing, last year's coo tony chang rubles a fine to jet, screams along the border and northern thailand. at the end of june, it's happened several times this year. and children know the drill, hiding in shelters until the skies a clear. but the jets are aiming their guns into myanmar. ah, blue conflict on the border is decades old. the air war is new. since last she has qu, the gender is deployed, attack helicopters,
4:14 pm
and fighter jets against armed rebels, opposing its rule. our 2 underground light. one day jack, come, ah, we get a hides. i don't really care about a that is actually really in place that and me place and they just bought everywhere. they just shoot the rock at that and everywhere the gesture, the mashing guy like everywhere. ah, the attacks have been relentless and there's little the rebels can do there like machine guns and small arms and no match for the aerial bombardment. and there's one plane, they fear more than any other. every web app lay attack incur any they used at their blue, blue collar. when. yeah, went daddy, the yank 130, a russian to see to jet was sometimes described as a trainer that has full attack capabilities. the initial fleet was ordered before
4:15 pm
the coo, but according to a report by independent investigators me and my witness, another delivery as arrived since the military took over housed in these newly constructed hangers, using social media and geo location, the report ledgers, these planes have been deployed in civilian areas, firing unguided, serbian rockets, the 80 mean m, your ammunition is usually hits, which means high explosive anti pang. when it comes to the possibility of aiming this, an ordinance precisely to target, it's not really accurate natural. these people were fleeing ariel and artillery attacks on the eastern town of lake gore in december. since then, more than a 1000000 people have been displaced from their homes across myanmar, their greatest fear attack from the skies. tony cheng al jazeera top java says from miramar, witness san jose. me now from glasgow in scotland. good. have you with us, mr. jarvis on the program?
4:16 pm
can we just start with how difficult it is to compile this type of report? yeah, absolutely it's. it's a lot of time and it's a lot of meticulous work. you have to go through many different social media sites, look at news reports. liquor telegram for example, facebook, twitter, and you're pulling together everything which then needs to be verified and collected in a way that makes that evidence for us and basket. father had you caught, had you cooperate this then? ah, with, or you might say the people on the ground in me and mar because you see it on social media. and yet you have to try and confirm it somehow with a social media and a telephone system internet system that is highly regulated by the authorities and me and bar. yes. so that's certainly very difficult. one of the big things that we look at is trying to prove the location through g, a location. that's where we match on satellite imagery. we're also looking at what
4:17 pm
we can do to tell when this happened and prove that the events that happened at that time. let's just talk about these attacks and the how regular they are in terms of when and how they happen. so they have been fairly frequent at the moment. we're seeing an increase in the past few months. certainly 2022 has seen the most notable cases where we've seen the jets actually firing. this is fairly new footage for us, so it's certainly increasing and we're certainly getting a lot more to investigate. are you investigating the munitions that are being used because obviously miramar has already bought its plains. it's had its munitions even before you might say the military coup. but music, munitions get used up, don't they? and they have to be replaced. is that something else that you're investigating? yes, so the several things that we can do to identify whether it's old or new nations. certainly from looking at the shell casings from the canon on the ground. we might
4:18 pm
be able to tell from stamps or markings whether it's new or old. and we can track deliveries across borders as well through flights and ships to see what so munitions are coming in and where they are from. i mean, what are you going to do with the findings of this report? what mean? what's the long term objective? are you going to take them to a higher political body, a government to all the un for more action on this? yes, so everything that we produce and report on is our coach to kill it in a way that this can be used either tomorrow or in the distant future as evidence to basically hold accountability for those who are at fault. we'll see what happens for the moment. it's good to have your insight and talk more about the port tom jarvis that joining us from glasgow, thank you. law protest. her a protest has been killed in guineas capital during demonstrations against the military rouelis, not as anger because no date has yet been confirmed elections after lustrous qu.
4:19 pm
bravo! anger has more, protested thought guinea would quickly returned to civilian rule. when they back to military coup against president out for condi last year. now they say they've been duped. said manifesto so medieval. this protest is revenge against this regime. we thought the crew was a change, but no, it's just a change of facade. i support the f n d c. i supported in everything that it's doing. after taking power, the military promise to 3, a transition back to civilian rural. protest to say that's too long. and the west african regional block a class agrees g d, aquiner county. i was in conner, cree with the president of the commission of vehicle, was to make the military john to understand the decision of the summit of heads of state that the transition cannot exceed 24 months. oh, the national front for the defense of the constitution or ethan
4:20 pm
d. c. is the coalition of political parties and civil society organizations founded in 2019. it led a wave of protest appears in contest plan to change the constitution and run for a 3rd term. now it's demonstrating against the military who confesses that developed around a cooling september of 2021 is no longer there. that civil society and, or vision bodies are determined to have his c. and if the hotel doesn't open up a more inclusive, more consultative, more transparent decision process, then we could be in real trouble in guinea can agree. the military hunter has fan protests, but these demonstrators aren't listening. barbara and copa out to sarah b, f and d. c. also known as the national fund for the defense of the constitution was founded
4:21 pm
in 20. 19 it opposed for the condo plan to change the constitution so that he could run for 3rd term. and organized months of demonstrations before con day was eventually toppled in a military q last september. things went quiet until may, when military leaders banned protests and public spaces. the f n. d c started calling for demonstrations again this time against the military gentle. yes, the unison is a senior research at the northern africa institute and joins been operable solar in sweden could help you with this on the program, sir. i mean, they're receiving anger in the public domain for the military to go and democratic government to be elected. despite ban on those protests, people continue to to defy the military rulers. what next? that is really the major question. i mean, we've seen historically that public port protests have been quite effective in, in, in guinea, as we've seen it in the run up to the military co last year. we've seen it and as
4:22 pm
the repertoire said and challenging her african there's attempts to amend the constitution and we've seen it back for the historical as well. on the other hand, this kind of public mobilization might also pressure the joint or into taking more and more aggressive stance that we've seen. now the ban of protests, if protest, continued jones, it will probably argue that they are illegal, and they may also return to the violent oppression of protests that we've seen in the past. so, so this is really sort of a defining moment in the transition period. as indeed, i mean, the trend to is actually pressure from another side, the political side because it seems a reduction in the timeline towards apparently civilian rule has also been agreed and pushed by a co sort of the regional economic organization. and at a recent visit by the french president, it seems to be sort of a gently gentle, gently, gently approach, politically, at least from one side. they don't want to squeeze that john to too much at the
4:23 pm
moment. i think that on the national side, that's definitely true. there's been a fairly sort of not a passive but as you say, a gentle or a careful approach to a guiding the the jones and are in the right direction. i think internally in guinea, what we're seeing is that the major political parties are joining their forces now to pressure the agenda. and that's a confrontation could be more aggressive. or, i don't mean that the protesters are necessarily violent, but that the pressure is rising and that we could fear a violent response from the job. are you concerned that the military might not be able to oversee a free and fair election a because independent independent bodies are also in the pressure internally. so groups like a co op, so the african union need to be involved at the start to sort of help pursue a clear and transparent vote when it does happen. i think it's, it's
4:24 pm
a fundamental dilemma that we're seeing in several, west african states under currently under mil military rule. and the dilemma is whether the june ties there to oversee a fairly quick, a timeline towards new elections, or a more sort of fundament. so, reworking of the constitution and the military, the sort of sorry, the civilian view, you bureaucracy and as i understand it, the joint and guinea now are claiming that they need a 3 year transitional transitional period because they need to basically rework the foundations of, of gain in a political society, whereas acres and the political class in guinea are saying, we just need the gender to lead us to the next elections. and the, the more long lasting reforms will follow. those are new election. it is, but you think about where this leaves really the current military ruler was a man or day do, boy, i mean, it's hard sometimes to relinquish power. once you have it, we see this with military leaders globally. and it is the type of man who can do
4:25 pm
that through the more sort of worried about what's going to happen to him and his officers after democracy is restored. well, 1st of all, it's important to remember that canadians will, will definitely be thinking back to the conduct of a former military ruler. that is camera who promised a similar kind of transition and then cleaned on to power or so i think it's a, it's a sort of it remains to be seen. i think dubois has, has said repeatedly that he does not intend to run for the next election that he is not affiliated with the political party. and that he is a military representative overseeing a temporary transition. but it is true that both in guinea and, and elsewhere know military rulers do tend to claim to power. and i'm sure that that's part of the motivation behind the current. there mobilization against him yesterday, allison it of sol suite. thanks very much for joining us here. on al jazeera,
4:26 pm
the democratic republic of congo is auctioning off licenses for oil and gas exploration. environmentalists say many of the 27 permit, so national parks that are home to endangered species. climate activists point out that the exploration risks, the destruction of p plans which hold vast quantities of carbon dioxide, but government officials say the country desperately needs the money will be closer . that is, our country is full of oil and gas resources that have for many years not been exploited. but today the president of the republic has decided for the very 1st time to put these resources up for the benefit of the companies people. irene will be barbara taco is a project leader for the congo base in forest at green p. she says the sale will be a disaster for the country. it's really shocking to see that the company's officials are really to keep pushing this project to what we know this will not contribute to the local development communities to just say is coming to us that
4:27 pm
are living in those areas. they're not even informed about this project. and we know how high corruption is in this country. so we are really concerned because we are surely that it's only a fair, a very few number of population that we work with. the benefit of this because of corruption and the rest to what more than 100000000 communities will be in deep poverty that you see is a country that is calling itself. it's crucial country to climate crisis. and we really hope that or a tourist is we here to us. we continue to talk to those investors who are trying to take that high risk and invest in this very destructive project. rushing up or just trying forest is not at all part of the solution. it's really a critical issue that we really hope that many people around the world will join us to stop it because it's really key for the church of the humanity. you know, this all project we're talking about a blocks and guess blocks. and more than 10 of these are located in
4:28 pm
a forested area and, and we know how the forests are in the d. r. c is playing a critical role to fight against damage change. and we're talking about a very sensitive ecosystem calling pity, and that the story more than a ton of carbon. and that is about 3 years of image of a mission of the entire planet. that means any, all expectation in this area would be a carbon bomb that it will be exposed and humanity won't be the same anymore. that's where we are calling for this top of this constructive on project in the us . it was time for the weather on his romco it ballast tardy history. yesterday's rainfall on preston rainfall worked at about 54 millimeters records in doe har against average for july of 0. so as an unprecedented in that cloud move northwards, the shells mostly continuing any roundness still building today. so for the rest, the afternoon in the evening, we'll sit on the rainy inside of the gulf that might be well to inside in the
4:29 pm
mighty me want to in queue. it will be unprecedented. the average here is also 0, but yesterday showed showers right in the middle of iran, $48.00 millimeter by the same in 15 hours a thunderstorm against the average. you have guessed it of 0, so a more unprecedented right. it's unusual situation. it's not clearing up quickly either. the rest of friday, the shells will build largely in the round, but maybe touching the far side of iraq and you think, well ok, maybe we'll carry on to saturday. yes. carries on into saturday as well as not going away by producing pretty big flooding thunderstorm. but again, i want to come back into the re being punished because sunday looks equally unusual with significant rain forecast. maybe in barbara. nice. inside a sorry, a few big shells for yeah, which isn't it isn't bone dry in july, but this amount of rain that is unusual and it hasn't entirely gone even by monday . well, still had, hey, on the news i why journalists heading to the u. k. conservative party conference this year,

4:32 pm
civilian areas. independent investigators me and my witness says the gender has increased advertising since last year's qu, they will bang, says it won't get through like a financial assistance. and so that puts economic reforms in place. the country has been plunged into a deep financial crisis since 29 team. the president has promised to get the economy back on track, a new quote and says it's ready to dispatch the shipments of grain from its black sea polt president of midland. he says he's waiting for the go ahead from the u. n . and turkey. much of the attention of ukraine on those grey next faults. yet the fighting continues with russia. hannah celeste as a director of security programs at the ukrainian prison, a foreign policy and security. think tanks, jones, you know, from odessa good tough with us on the program. so let's just focus in on the ongoing clashes across the country. i mean, advances in the cache or region seem to be having an effect, according to british intelligence sources. these past few days,
4:33 pm
how important is this battle in terms of regaining the land back for the ukrainians in cash on there were several important issues about these. first of all are because for some region is the fast you luck. see, we need to grade the land that soft clover to the see. the 2nd use that is accessed to quine, aware russians. it says you why the novel forces to buy the sell them eastern work off your price. but also, 1st of all, that isn't working for us because the underwriting premium people, and unfortunately within the last month to have more and more evidences of those people who are living have a way to, from those territories, that we will have the same factors as the oldest notice on the north of the country life and as the p. that's why to bring in our courses. understanding both is to teach it and moral responsibility to liberate the slander. of course,
4:34 pm
the 3 bridge is a vital for russian supply lines. for this, for the russians, i mean, why haven't they been able your opinion to defend them vigorously? one might say, is it because of the advanced weaponry sent by the west, old or strategic ground, offensive by the ukrainians themselves? which element seems to be working here? i think that there were 2 elements. first we for quite a bad strategy of the russian federation of the organizing their so files for example, works where the a protecting the are using the a are to send me files as we congress, as the attack. and you filed against your weak alive so you on saturday, compete, meet use, all the weapon that you have. and they've been very less interested. we sold that y'all by december to re those be should not worry. and usually they are underestimating that both of the craniums to use the new weapons that we're receiving from the west and concert they think that maybe ukrainian will need long decide for some special preparation. hi mars that we received the multi loan. she
4:35 pm
was from the united states, i assume the fact it's and you can see from the photos of the on point if you breach, call precisely of the sky or the falling over there. that demonstrate the capacity of this weapons. but also the ability to have that charges and really charging what is what's on in advance of the more no white doing and talking to the why do oppression mean most continues to reach rate. it's in full control of the don bus region over in the east. i mean, is that sort of the full back position for russia and ukraine? so as we know, is a future negotiations that a sci fi will put in place. would this be the starting position of a sort of a start of the conversation to find a piece or it does ukraine really want to go into the don bass and liberate all of that eastern part of the country? first of all, definitely in the march, for example,
4:36 pm
you for the statement bits of people in a politician that you would like to return back to the 24th of february. so, deal with occupies crimea and part of the boss and negotiation with all those massacres that we saw with all we start to think of the land and the really work like that. we really daily, more and more. you can hear that everything's thought and inquiry needs to solve them for you to finish in crimea, meaning the government, the abrasions involved, and cray me, the choose is probably somewhere in between. we understand the reality. we are not, the court will fight just fighting. we're paying the life of people, but at the same time, you can see just the news of today. and that is again killing of the prisoners. the work that he's the new cases, shopping, civilian from the rica lie what it will just bought, sold, no special military objects. you took the news from saturday when the 4th of all that's a show for the grain experts was targeted by the russians. gracious. why do you

4:51 pm
of course in new jersey, which is about 80 kilometers away from ground 0. some family members and survivors of the 2001 attacks you believe saudi aided the terrorists who carried out 911 at trump. not to hasty events. nobody's gotten to the bottom of $911.00. unfortunately, they should have as to the maniacs that did that horrible thing to our city, to our country, to the world. so nobody's really been there. i've known these people for a long time, saudi arabia. they've been friends of mine for a long time. they've invested in many american companies, and frankly, what they're doing for golf is so great. let's get life to the bed minutes to cool . now to join our correspondent christin salumi. say, christine, just tell us about these $911.00 protests well is going on. why you all right now. well, you can see behind me there's a huge crowd of reporters media gathered here were expecting family members of
4:52 pm
those who died at excuse me, family members of those who died in the 911 attacks to gather here, dozens of them. and they are planning to line the street behind me were on a public road, a few kilometers away from the golf course, actually, which is on private property on a very busy street. so their plan is to hold up signs reminding spectators and golfers as they head to the course here and what is essentially president trump summer home of the saudi involvement in the city september 11th attacks. you may recall that not 15 out of the 19 hijackers were of saudi descent. and the organizers of this event, a group called $911.00 families for justice. contend that recently declassified f b i documents show that the saudi government had a role in helping those hijackers that something of course,
4:53 pm
that the saudi government has denied. but nonetheless, they want to call attention to that. they were outrage. we were hoping to hear from one of the organizers, he's running a bit behind schedule, but he did tell me that he was outraged when he heard that the former president was hosting this tournament on his property. this is less than 75 kilometers away from manhattan. where the twin towers once stood, and many of the families on that day vowed for to never forget what happened and to call for justice and they're not going to let the president or the golf players forget either. we just heard president trump's response wants to those concerns i. he says he feels for the, for the families and, and what they've gone through, but that the saudis backing this tournament are his friends and he thinks it's going to be good for golf course that is controversial as well. i would be a golf major golf leg tga. the professional golf association of america has
4:54 pm
also raised some concerns about this tournament, which thanks to very lucrative funding from the kingdom of saudi arabia, has very high prize money for a professional golfers and huge signing bonuses that have been learning the pros away from the pga tour and the p j is actually threatened that they will not be able to play and future pga tournaments as a result. i do see brett here. hi brett, thanks for joining us. if we have a minute bread eagle. same kind of step right over here and talk to us. i thanks for coming. thanks for being here. yeah, i lost his father on september 11. maybe you can start by reminding us why you think, what role you believe the saudis play. so this is so important to be having this press conference here today, and it's so important for us to get our words out and the truth out. and you know, a lot of people, they accuse us of being pro democrat or not. you know,
4:55 pm
it's the total garbage, some of our biggest supporters or former trump people, i'm here with at the n y n y, p d, some of trump's biggest space and it's, and it's a shame that we have to come out here and protest, the former president from holding a tournament in the backyard of were 750 people were blown away. and there's no excuse because we now have the documents that say without a doubt, at least 13 saudi government officials were responsible for the successive allocated that day, one of which was known to be a saudi intelligence operative. so what is the former president doing? what are these golfers doing? and our job today are main focus is public education, public awareness. let's talk about the saudi roll. 911. i know you reached out to president trump. tell me about his response and what you make his response. sure. so our group checked a letter to present the former president about a week or so ago we laid out all of our grievances,
4:56 pm
we call him out of his previous comments were in 2016, he accurately proclaimed it wasn't the iraqi that knocked down the towers. it was the saudi that was the saudis, in 2019 the president met with myself, my mother and none number of other family members. and he said he was going to help us west the 24 hours later he invoked the state secrets principle, keeping these documents hidden from public record. until recently, when president, by the last september passed the executive order, which i wound that decision. so we sent that letter, we outlined all of that the present. the former president is keenly aware of our grievances. he's keenly aware of the involvement of the kingdom of saudi arabia and the other day he goes on record and goes on comments and says he has no idea what we're talking about. his 8 personally call me in the 8 was directed by the president to let us know that he received our letter. so it flies in the face of everything he stands for. thank you so much for sharing those views with us. i've got to hand it back to our team and so now,
