for safe than he'd been home and then he international anti corruption excellence award boat now for your hero blue supporters of shia cleric mac todd al saw their storm the iraqi parliament again to protest against the nomination of a new prime minister with the lives in bagdad ah,

i'm carried johnson, mrs. al jazeera alive from don't will also coming up while ukraine that waits to export grain, that their farmers come face to face with the problems of growing in a war zone every day. and like everything is going no love is good line. search and rescue efforts are underway in kentucky where torrential rains have swept to i homes. at least 25 people are debt. and how undocumented migrants crossing the mediterranean playing a role. the latest italian elections we report form that producer ah. where we begin in baghdad, where hundreds of protests of storm the rocky parliament for a 2nd time this week. protesting against the nomination of mohammed sheer ausa

donny as prime minister tear gas has been fired at crowds outside the had the fortified greens and doesn't solve injuries. have been reported saturdays session risks to donnie's nomination was expected to be only announced has been cancelled northward otherwise head to is in baghdad where protested of travel for many cities nor to store the parliament. there have been reports about casualties or from tear gas canisters that were shot at the protested by security forces. that what's media office of the prime minister most of all causing me, has just issued a statement reiterating and causing his instructions to security forces to keep order and did maintain it, maintain that security and safety of the institutions. now these processes do

not seem to be back off despite the fact that there have been injuries from up tear gas canisters. and they say that they will. they will continue to move and gone towards the green zone until death parliament to respond to their demands up these processes have come from civil iraqi said is there may be supporters of the shack, let it go to the and so they do not want the parliament to accept or how much he i so that he as prime minister nominated by the coordination framework. the korean political automates a block that is all backed by iran. now with these protests that is also said that they do not trust the judiciary. their protest today is not only against the parliament, they say you do not trust the parliament because they say that the parliament could hold a session behind closed doors. so they want to put pressure on the parliament to

hold or not to hold that session dedicated for electing get your president the state and naming and you prime minister. the also say that did blaming the supreme surgery council for the stalemate. the country has been suffering from over the past few months. that's because the supreme court at the give the parliament at the right to who holds or postpone choosing a new, a prison, a new prime minister and forming the government. namely, at the my, to the se block in the parliament were not able to hold a session to name a prime minister from a government that is because they never had at corum reach it in the parliament due to the absence of their coordination framework at low makers, so again,

now they're protesting in front of their heavy fortified green zone. and they say they seem to her escalate. they want to escalate it. they want to her probably to hear instructions from their leader monticello to again, once again, storm the greens on like as they did on a wednesday when they up storm it. also, the headquarters of the apartments were going to not go to door srr jabari, in baghdad. outside the inside, in fact, the green se, and were're protests as have stormed the building, as we say for the 2nd time in a week and doors. if you're there for us, let me ask you, then what's actually happening, where you are around you?

well if you can see behind me right now as it's in. * inside the parliament building, where we've seen the demonstrators move in a few minutes ago, how power is out with other support you're inside the parliament. this is where they say they will say until their demands are met. and they are really taking a break very, very difficult stuff. we'd have to walk about 4 kilometers to reach building with the demonstrators since they broke part of the stereo wall that separates greenville from the rest of the fact that we've been just arriving here over the past few minutes and check it out. so i can see that people are resting on the floor, they're taking a breather. everybody quite overwhelmed by the heat as well as these events. they are waving flags directly, flags. we've also seen the former prime minister jury

allocate on our news. yes, thank you. because it is a little bit closer, i'm looking at people very upset with him. they want they don't want him involved in any kind of a future government. the other supporters say they are just a for their leader. other other withdrew from the political fear, weeks ago, saying that you will not take part in any corrupt processes. the government also is n p a parliament due to the same 73 and also left their position very much in limbo in political and which we've seen in the past year. certainly not anything. but what is different this time around in iraq is that these people,

these demonstrators have the whole support. i'm backing up one of the most powerful leaders in the country, not only clinical federal southern the whole, the city of now comes from a very well known and powerful clerical family. and that is why these people and they say they will call up until the end. what they hope to achieve is a change in their country. they say they don't want the previous politician power. they don't want their country to have any involvement by the united states and iran. there were reports, injuries by demonstrators earlier today. we heard from the country, people treated, we don't know how those injuries are. i spoke to a demonstrator showed me a shell gas canister saying she was a wrong kids, recurring to iran, influence and reach in this country. of course,

that is one of the main 7th graders will have to wait and see how long this team and whether or not they'll be able to achieve what they are asking for. we helpful, per se security forces as well as demonstrators not violence. instead of the dramatic picture indeed what you can tell how the turn in the test is determined to they seem to be that they will stay there for a long much yeah, well we're seeing people. 6 say that they are saying until the end. now what that means. it really depends on what the manager

she's behind the scenes whether or not there will be discussions on going with the various different political fraction government as well as shows it really an influence politicians and i was mentioning earlier, i think he said that nobody wants to see the control violence situation everybody's trying to remain. * calm, there's very much an atmosphere of commodity between the triggers south geriatric. no useful, happy by making the way i don't think we expect any calls the very predictable country. anything can happen in the short amount of time. for now, these demonstrators are here for quite a while with government and hear their voices as we can here we are trying to

stay with those. so we're going to now close over to they don't can on the middle east and focusing on iraq and the arab center in washington dc joint thanks for being with a fan on the program. put simply what you may call the dramatic picture that we didn't see. well, from a security perspective, we shouldn't be surprised that the funder supporters are able to enter governmental promises. in contrast to the focus, there's begun in october 2019. the protest movement to determine or establish the political consciousness amongst the rock youth until our very day today. however, the sun just movement as a political party, as a movement, just like many others,

political goods across the spectrum, including the ones i specially the ones in the coordination framework. have i'm doing that. they're either officially registered in the popular mobilization forces and they're also very infiltrated into the midst ministry of interior affairs and the ministry of the meaning that it is very easy for them to infiltrate or cross or bypass any security checkpoint. so from a very security perspective, this is very easy for them. this is no surprise from a thunderous point of view. this is not the 1st time they enter the parliament in response to a message, trying to be sent from the father to his political rivals. we are currently witnessing that the sup, just move in or to be more precise this i just neither was trying to create many obstacles for his main rivals, which are the coordination. fremont, which is a very similar obstacles, ethical coordination framework. also practicing at the time when the subjects movement tried to form the government would fail to do so without the court another

they are to this crisis. there's a very person life right believe between former prime minister in ordering money, keith, who is the most if you made the most powerful politician and the coordination of framework, which is why he was initially nominated in directly to be the prime minister and the other rival is look for the southern of this rivalry has been going on 2006 . that's a military rivalry. it's a geopolitical rivalry. it's an ideological and kinetic a rival. we has been affecting the daily life ordinary iraqis, as we can witness, that the country was failing to witness the formation of and we're only seeing a county carrier government that has a very limited power and the executive ability to get the country out of the economic crisis that's currently going through, especially for the 1900,

getting the country out of many of the security crises that has been going on in the country since the defeat of isis and more than iraq. so as you say many elements that clearly have a powerful look of course, which you can call upon very effectively and very quickly yes, this is certainly municipal. the for that is considered to be one of the most influential political and religious leaders. the religious amendment has, of course, points to me mention it comes from the very powerful religious, historical family in iraq. and in this world, he's also a political leader that emerged in the early stages of the us invasion in 2003. he used to need an arm doing called the mad, the army, which later on, transformed into said,

i said on this i just move them has been involved in every single political and actions were even they even had so many minutes. stephen, every single government which he is claiming to be very corrupt and practicing reform. rhetoric throughout the very various different focus movements for the past few years. calling for reforms, calling to tackle corruption in the cro symmetrical system that he has been legally officially and politically with for so many years. ok, we'll leave it there for now inside on the. i cannot from the extent a thank you for joining us here. when i was there, thank i will have more on that as we get it. now, 16 ships loaded with ukrainian grain are ready to depart from a desert for the 1st time since the russian invasion and more is being harvested while the war continues. and that doesn't come without providence fees. pictures

show feels burning in the hospital near the front lines. farmers are accusing russia of shelling the area. let's talk to john henry, who's in the port city of a desk that was not data on the shipment. so john, what's happening with this? great well, we know that those ships are loaded up, that they have the grain on them. that load, amir zalinski, the president of ukraine said they will be leaving soon. they've got a safe channel mapped out for those ships to leave you crane and remember their 25000000 tons of grain at these ports that we, sunflower seeds, corn all getting ready to go out to africa and other places to avert a global food shortage. but those ships haven't left yet. one of the issues they're probably dealing with is the fact that those waters, our minds and people have been injured or killed because of those mines. and it

also involves a certain amount of trust between 2 warring parties, ukraine and russia, both of which have agreed to a deal that was put together by turkey and the united nations. to get those ships out to the rest of the world can have this grain. this is after all, one of the bread baskets of the world. but we're still waiting for those ships to leave. and it could yet be some time we talked to an analyst just a little over an hour ago, and he said that he did expect it might take some extra time. but everybody is watching and waiting for those ships to leave and villa premier. so lensky says it should come soon and so on. while that continues, the fighting is still ongoing. and we've had conflicting reports about an attack on a prison which killed at least 40 ukrainian prisons of war. tell us more about that . that's right. and the latest numbers we're hearing on that is actually

50 dead. that's one thing that both sides seemed to agree on. you've got the ukrainian military and the russian military, both blaming each other for this attack that killed these fighters who were prisoners of war under russian care. they were from mario full, famed for keeping the russians at bay for months, but ultimately were defeated, captured and brought into this prison. russia says there was a strike by a u. s. made missile. it hit that prison from the ukranian side of that battle and kill those prisoners. ukraine says, absolutely not. that is not what happened. they say that the russians killed those troops. and this is what the latter. oh, this is what zalinski had to say about that. tim will see doing this. this is a deliberate war crime by the russians. a deliberate mass, murder of ukrainian prisoners of war. yet, did this, does it know? huh. was an uncle?

bob is michel green city, every one who abuses ukrainians who tortures and kills should know that there will be punishment for this if some of the russian killers hope that they will not be brought to justice. that they will hide somewhere and let them know they will be held accountable, that both sides had called for an international investigation to look into what actually happened there. and one of the things i'll be looking at is whether there was an external strike that caused that prison to explode and go up in flames, or whether it was internally batch with the ukrainian side maintain. they believe that it was the russians who started this fight, exploding that prison from inside, but it'll take an international investigation. and that could take months before we have an answer. okay, it's on hands and i for us in odessa. thank you. i, russian, that foreign minister circle of rob says western arms supplies to ukraine, prolonging the war that followed his call. the u. s. a secretary of state antony

blinkin, a former special assistant to president bill clinton. toby got, he says russia isn't interested in negotiating on many issues after 20 years. have a more or less open russia. we now have a russian, it's closing that's becoming much more totalitarian in its treatment of its own people and sees the west as an enemy. and in fact is preparing its population for long war and for a redo standard of living are all in the name of the glory of the russian state. but russia is expecting isolation and is preparing for it. and i think the war in ukraine is a perfect example of that. where their view is, they have certain goals and they would like to achieve those goals. and they're really not interested in whether we accept their definition of what ukraine should look like or whether it should exist at all. so it's

a really difficult situation because each side is suspicious of the other side. doesn't believe that there is a, any point in negotiating on some of these issues. i mean, this is amazing if you think about of our secretary state and the russian foreign minister have not spoken since the beginning of the ukraine war because they don't think there's any point. and there probably isn't because the fighting is going to go on. it'll go on all summer, all autumn, and in the winter, that's when probably negotiations will start russian energy produce a gas problem. this says it has stopped supplying it. they've been luck via with guess the company or to set up your father and conditions for guests withdrawal, but didn't specify which conditions they are left in. firm said it would pay gas probably euros rather than rubles. russia also cut off supplies to potable gary, a finland, benevolence and denmark when they refused to pay in the local currency. now,

so that fighters have attacked community based on the somalia, a few of your border. the armed group, which is linked to al qaeda, says it's killed more than a 100 if you're in troops over the official number of casualties has not been confirmed. a senior us military official says al ship valve is expanding its operations from somalia into ethiopia. hundreds of fighters across the border last week. several attacks have been reported raising concerns about regional stability . if you can turn this to me, we'll get to, to has more from a sort of a, the somali state government has been supported by the european forces trying to fight with. i'll show bob. there was a story that came out saying that 150, i'll shabba elise, members have been killed. but throughout the week and even a earlier this month, there has been different kind of claim and counter claim of victims and victory and

so on. enough for the u. n. w p to. 2 start removing some of its employees. the somali region is one of the areas where it has a comp that's taking care of thousands of if you're been displaced people and this goes to show you that this conflict is really moving forward. i'll show bob was claiming that they have been killing or winning the bottom so far. but this is the 1st time that the european side, or the region outside the somali regional government forces have really. 3 clean this money or this money killing. and in a way to stop shop up from advancing to the capital of the somali region and far beyond recent increase the number of asylum seekers reaching the on into them. producer is being politicized ahead of italy's snap elections in september for
