[000:00:00;00] ah ah, this is d w. news live from bird us lawmakers say donald trump chose not to act as a mob of his supporters stormed the cat. for 187 minutes on january 6. this man of unbridled destructive energy could not be moved. he with congressional panel accuses the form of president of filing to call off capital riots. also

coming out hope scribe that an international food crisis can be east russia. and he's trying to peer said to sign a deal to re open ports for crying exports more unrest, intro lanka, doesn't to injure the security forces clear the main anti government protest camp in the capital, colombo, and onwards and upwards. germany reached the euro. 2022 semi finals. i think austria and continued this surprising run to the final 4 of the european chap each . ah, i'm anthony harold walked into the program in the united states. the committee investigating the january 6 attack on the capital has accused former president donald trump of dereliction of duty for failing to coal off the riot. investigate his, drew on testimony from top white house aides, who described the president inaction for nearly 3 hours during the assault on the

capital for security for the and recorded interviews with those in the white house . at the time. the panel argued that trump gave a green light to the violence when the president trump did not fail to act during the 187 minutes between leaving the ellipse and towing the mob to go home. he chose not to act or earlier i spoke with d. w. washington correspondence to me some a scandal and asked her to talk more about the focus of the hearings. shifting to what the president did not do on the day of the rights. that's right, anthony. it was very much about those 187 minutes we heard reference in that clip that was a time between when he spoke to his supporters at that rally on january 6th. and when he finally released that video, telling them to go home and in between, he essentially did nothing. i mean, we heard significant admissions showing that administration officials, members of the president's own family top republicans,

even the fox news personalities. they were all imploring the chief of staff for president trump to get the president to do something to call off the mob. and that was essentially to no avail. and the president instead continued in those early hours of the right to egg, the mob on with tweets. we also saw that the vice president really was in grave danger so much so that members of his security data detail and started calling their families to say goodbye because they feared for their lives. and. and then we also saw some previously unseen footage of the president recording a video message on january 7th that he wanted to deliver to the nation in which he refused to say that the election was over. so a more remarkable evidence piecing together the picture of how this riot on the capital happened to me as the former president responded now and what consequences if any, could these investigations have been well, president trump has from the very beginning,

disparaged and discredit at these hearings he's delivered these long tirades on his social media platform, tooth, social, and he did that again on thursday. as for the consequences, that is a big question of debate here in washington. so this committee is not pursuing actual legal action that is not in its purview, that has to come from the department of justice. and we have seen members of this committee say they believe in no uncertain terms that the chain of responsibility for what happened before january 6th and on january 6th loan leads all the way up to the president that he knew the election wasn't stolen. that he tried to coerce election officials and that he incited that riot. but whether that means that we would actually see president trump in court, that's trickier because the department of justice has to weigh up. whether all of this evidence that the committee has presented would actually hold up in court under cross examination. and anthony, just imagine a jury being selected for such a trial in what is an incredibly politicized environment. here, the u. s. and all that being said, many observers you're believed that all the evidence that's been presented has been

so damning that the department of justice will have to do something. so we could possibly see a donald trump facing a legal consequences. so part of that political environment, sumi elections on the horizon. where does this leave the republican party? right? yeah, that's an interesting question because on the one hand, the majority, republicans are completely rejected. these hearings, they call them political theater, a witch hunt. they want hearings on inflation instead issues more relevant to the american people. and fox news, which i mentioned earlier than main news channel for the right wing, hasn't shown the hearing's live in their entirety. but we have seen a good number of republicans mentioned even implicated in these hearings and we are quietly seeing some members of the party trying to put some distance between themselves and the former president. so these hearings could impact the direction in which the party heads. so me, so must kinda in washington thanks so much. okay, it's tom to take

a look now. some of the other stories making news around the world to sell you as president joe biden is tested positive for cove. it 19 white house said he was experiencing very mild symptoms spokesperson added that the president would continue to carry out his duties and started the course of the antiviral drug packs . brazilian politician lula da silva has been chosen as the candidate to take on j. u both sanara in the presidential election this year. he's been president twice before going to prison for corruption charges that would later overturn. he is currently the favorite to win the vote. in october, 3 men in spain had died in the last 24 hours from injury, sustained, taking part in boone running festivals. rights groups have long protested about the dangers of the event for both animals and the public. around 20 people have been killed over the last i will. turkey says a deal has been reached with russia to allow ye crying to resume exports of grain

for the black sea will shortage of ukrainian brain. since the start of the war has left millions at risk of hunger. some $40000000.00 tons of ground is stuck in silos in the black sea ports. the deal is to be signed on friday in istanbul by ukraine, russia turkey, an un secretary general antonio, who kedisha. meanwhile, in ukraine, russia has launched attacks on several cities in the east and the south. 3 people were killed in more than 20 injured in renewed shelling in the 2nd largest city hockey. just an ordinary market on any other day. but this day, a sight of devastation russian strikes at this text ill market in harkey, eve killed her husband. the shells struck a mosque, a jim, a bus stop taking civilian lives. ukrainian officials say russia

is out for blood even using weapons that are widely band. laura garcia, this place was hit by rockets with cluster bombs to maximize the damage to people who be those who pushed the button on the rocket launcher. wanted to maximize damage to the civilian population of use funnel to say, what's the model? the lasagna little silly. elsewhere in hockey's ukrainian soldiers are learning how to use newly arrived. weapons. western countries are sending more long range weapons to the war torn country, including high mars, highly accurate mobile missile launchers allowing longer range attacks multiple another group on the foreign weapons were shipped an anti tank weapons and mortars . now we're teaching our boys so they can confidently work on the front line. what does it manada? what to russia all incoming help is a threat. and it's responding with more attacks in chrome,

a tourist separates ya. severe a genetic expanding the scope of war. or earlier i spoke with d, doubly correspondent, funny for shot in keith. she had more on that deal on brain export between ukraine and russia. on most of these reports are actually coming from turkey. turkey really tries to rent itself as the main add media to here because there were the other ones that and out yesterday, the presidency office there that a deal is going to be signed later this afternoon in east stumble. now we do not know the exact details of this deal or so we didn't hear anything from russia so far about this deal. and ukraine was also a little bit. how should i say a not very clear on whether a deal is going to be signed just saying that they expect some news coming out of to rec, today, what we do now looking back, what happened last week of these discussions among ukrainian, russian officials,

brokered b u n. and also turkey to agree on some sort of a cease fire because obviously without the seas fired, it's impossible to get those vessels full of grains through safe corridors. but this is the back big question here. actually if an agreement is put into a i've written format, whether all these counterparts can agree on that in practical terms where they cease, fire can actually be maintained or even starting in the sports like odessa all mc alive as well. because these are key a portal, a towns in regions that are heavily sheldon bond by russian forces. so a lot of things remain sketchy while at the same time. of course, people are hopeful here and you praying because exporting that grain would not only mean that you can eat the food crisis. but also of course, you can make money that ukraine needs in order to continue this war and to i have a, have a. yeah, a chance in this war against russian forces, from the thursday left,

the distinct impression russia was broadening the scope of its attacks. once more president zalinski says that ukrainian troops are gaining momentum. what's your breed from their there different ways to look at this. if you are zoom in on the dumbass region, for example, there's a lot of shelling going on, especially when you look at tells that from artworks or back mood, which are quite close to slow vianza, which is a very, very important town. it is ukrainian controlled, basically the administrative center of the don yeske region. and this is exactly where russian forces would like to move into. because as you may remember neighboring johan screech, and they're the town settle down yet, was the key center to take in to actually control the entire luanne screen. so we're going to hear a lot more about slogans in the coming days, but also about all that indiscriminate showing that we've been seeing in that report. for example, in hockey region. at the same time, yes, a seems like you praying and forces also do have a momentum at a given

a by western a weapon supplies especially the high mos. they have a range of 50, can meet of 80 kilometers and can strike various a supply chains of russia. we have to see how this develops, certainly to warn ukraine is at a turning point. dw correspondent, funny for sure. thank you. russia has resumed natural gas deliveries to europe via the north stream, one pipeline, but only at 40 percent of capacity. there were fees that russia would keep the taps switched off in response to european sanctions over its invasion of you crime. but the head of germany's energy regulator says his country is still at ross's mercy, and berlin is preparing for a possible winter energy crisis. look mean on germany's baltic coast. this is where the north stream one pipeline ends. russian gas has now started flowing again after

a 10 day shut down for maintenance. that's a bit of a relief for germany, but not an end to its worries with gas still flowing at only 40 percent of capacity . similar to the flow before the shut down russia, cut deliveries through the pipe in mid june, citing technical concerns. germany's economy and climate minister dismissed those claims as host, the alleged technical problems are just a pretext of and the real background is politico additional undergone. it is the opposite of a guarantee of energy security in europe charge. in fact, russia is increasingly becoming an insecurity factor in our energy system introduced him. so despite the resumed gas flow, hubig announced another package of measures to secure germany's energy supplied. they include increasing the minimum amount gas storage facilities must contain making it easier to re open environmentally unfriendly coal fired power stations.

as well as energy saving measures in public buildings. people i'm like, we need to be prepared beyond the short term. the winter is yet to come and that will only be the 1st winter. all our models for the future show the following winter will also be a challenge for this country and for europe. so how worried are people in germany about the coming winter? as much, i'm very worried as one should be as got things always change. so sometimes it's one way then it's a different way. things might be difficult for a couple of years, may be 5, and then it will all change again and you afraid of winter? nope. no, godaddy or the i think it will be especially hard for people on low incomes because they get so cold in winter. so i'm worried about how the mood in the country will change. if every one has freezing warm lumps, firm of root, then you'd have given us coders in energy security crisis seems to have been averted for now. but germany and europe are bracing for

a potentially cold winter ahead. okay, let's take a look now, some more stories making headlines around the world. italy's president has dissolved parliament paving the way for early election. it follows the resignation of prime minister, muddy, or drug he, after the collapse of his national unity government president has asked mr. dragging to remain in the posters here. taker, leader, least i think people have been killed during a police write in brazil, almost 400 officers engaged in an hours long shoot out with suspects. in a fellow in rio de janeiro authority said the re targeted a criminal group blamed for a series of coffee and bank robbers. officials in pakistan, so at least 280 people who died in weeks of heavy rains and flooding. national disaster management authority reported that almost 6000 homes have also been destroyed with critical infrastructure such as roads and bridges severely damaged.

when israel anchor security forces have cleared the main protest camp in the capital, colombo, it was the base of anti government protests for over 3 months. you have a not right can just hours before the demonstrators were due to leave. voluntarily, they are likely to be anchored by the swearing in of new prime minister. the nash gonna wanna close allied, asked if president got a by like a puck set, who was forced to leave office amid public rage. vouch for lancaster, severe economic crisis. they w, south asia bureau chief, amrita chima, is covering this story for she joins me from sher length as capital, colombo and rita. tell us more about what happened on that very site where you are . when this protest camp was broken up, anthony, we had have a dramatic, a night here in the heart of colombo, i'm standing in front of the presidential secretary where i've been reporting for the past week. and this was the hub of protest. in fact,

it was the last bastion of protests in sight, a goblin property. protest had gone in, in the entrance of this building, and they will hold up there and were protesting. but then in the dark night and late at night, suddenly we had hundreds of soldiers and police commanders swarm around this area. there was an armored personnel carriers deployed there than soldiers came in here. and what they did was immediately cleared up these protest there, move the people out, and then this is a situation that we have now. barricades have been set up, police officers and the army have been deployed on the other side of the barricades, is the largest protest scam. the go go to gamma cam. that's also been cleared. apparently, at least the media says some, a dozens of people were injured, at least 9 people were arrested and detained. and those, some people who resisted arrest what roughed up. in fact,

even jonas were roughed up. one of our colleagues from the b, b. c was also kid, some of the injured and now in hospital we also hearing some reports that a few of the protesters are still stranded in the camp. below. in this secretariat le, yesterday, be sure you signs like john ill go home and people but true lankin flags and the atmosphere was quite relaxed. but all that has gone, no flags here. no people here. we just spoke to a couple of other activists who were here and they say that some protesters are stranded behind at the camp and they were trying to get food to them. but these men here said no way you're not allowed to go through. so they just had to back off. so after all of that action you've described and return the. com, is this a temporary com or is this the new government back in full control of the situation? we looking at the scenes, antony, it looks like the government is in control. as for com. well, we didn't see any outreach on the streets of sri lanka, or,

or at least in the capital colombo. this week. last week we saw extraordinary scenes here when they were hundreds and thousands of people protesting. but this week it's been relatively subdued the protest, but rather this will last remains to be seen. because i think protest as we'll see this hardline action by the government perhaps as provocative. and that may force them to come out on the streets again. now the sri lankan bar association was outraged by what happened in the early hours of the morning, the condemned a disproportionate use of force, which they said against peaceful protests as describing it as despicable they tried to mediate, but in fact, 2 of the lawyers were arrested that's what they say, and then the human rights commission was also here trying to negotiate, mediate with the army and saying, let these people go because they were reports, as you mentioned, that they were voluntarily going to leave this evening. but as we saw, the goblin chose to take a hardline action against them. and re to quickly before we go, what is the new president's planter?

he's shrill anchors, economic crosses. and what he's done until he's leslie is he's a sworn in an interim cabinet. he's also appointed a new prime minister, as you mentioned, and the prime misses of the ruling party. so that will anger protest is even more he is going to soon be starting talks with international donors and lenders like the i m f. and he's due to announce some measures to give relief to the people who've been suffering so much. in the past 3 months. i'm re to cima in the for like, and capital colombo. thank you so much. sports now and germany are through the semi finals. if you are 2022, after bidding austria to nil, gemini kept their composure in fiercely contested game in london. this for the 1st half. and right at the end to seal a meeting with either france or the netherlands. players was like amber contribute

to like jimmy icon, eva 0. 1 of our own icons, mac made us from de w sports. is he the tell us more mark, a good win for jim? yes indeed. i mean, it was typical germany in this tournament. it was very clinical not a lot of floor flare, but got the job done. leaning goals gotten the 1st half and, and captain alexandra pop right at the end. they were surprised, actually, austria, quite unheralded. but it was quite a tough games and quite juicy tackles. there obviously was a bit of a darby feel given that the austrian speak german and quite a lot of the austrian players play in the german league. but they, they got it done in the end. so germany weren't among the favorites when we were talking about the tournament a number of weeks ago, but things are looking up. yes indeed. i mean the 8 times reco champions, but gnome was really tipping them ahead of the tournament. you had host england and, and spain among the favorites, but generally beat spain in the group stage pretty easily. and they're building up nicely. now. there's a prospect of

a fine at one here. we were trading blows with each other and clearly the luck was on our side a bit. you have to say. but despite all of that, we could win the game. that obviously keeps us a good feeling and gets us confident. because above all, we once again kept a clean sheet at home. that's a word, and it's always great to reach a semi final. this is emma and good is preferred. marvin noting alliances. that was alexandra pot. they're the captain. so i just telling us how tough that game wouldn't wait to tell us now. it yes, and it was also a bit of a sad moment because he before the game, the sailor, a german, great died and the players decided that, you know, we've got a joint governing body in germany, the man and the women. so the players decided they wanted to pay tribute, so they had a minute silence before the game war black arm bands for those who don't know the sailor. he is kind of top 3 german male football as of all time. and then we friends back about and good molar, who sadly we also lost last year. sailor amazing coach, an amazing strike of hamburg always had

a smile on his face. and what was unfortunate form was he was too young when west germany, when the we'll come in 1954 and to old when they went in 974. otherwise he would have went to wilco metal. but the, the players didn't proud for world cups is incredible. before you go, this euros has been a success, i think, by most people's measure. but big question is, women's football still fighting, prejudiced? you? i mean, the told him it's been great football wise. there's been a few moments about the crowd, you know, i think the organize the happy, the england a through to the same is that guarantees and of a full house. some of the other credibility patchy, some moans about the, the sizes of stadiums. they're using cove, it's been an issue as well. but yeah, it's been a great thing for women's football. but prejudice, of course, is still there. there was actually a t v documentary in jimmy last night with some jimmy players and players. you play and jimmy saying there's still a long way to go, you know, silly comments from spectators. the fact that the facilities are nowhere near the men's game and equal play well, when no one near on the either you or 2022 will be

a big step forward. i mean 9000000 people watched england get through to the semi finals a couple of nights ago in england. so that's pretty big figures really for women's football. big numbers, a number of steps taken forward and a big finish coming up to the toner. yes, indeed. i mean, germany have got to get past holland or france 1st. they play that quarter final tomorrow. but yeah, england do me final. i think everyone wants to, apart from the whole the solvent don't, don't, don't count the don't they have still got a big business. thank you so much. well knew by mean exciting study, a manet has been named african men's footballer of the year. he helped synagogue when the african nations come for the 1st time earlier this year and inspired them 2 world cup qualification. we also had a stella season for a previous club. liverpool is the 2nd time he has won the of the sydney opera house as a stray. his most famous landmark i unesco world heritage site and one of the

world's most iconic buildings. but looks at everything for decades, musicians and music critics complained about the poor accused acoustics rather now after more than 2 years and millions of dollars in renovation. the concert hall has reopened with a whole new sound. its roof has been compared to sales or even shark fins. the sydney opera houses unique design, attract visitors from around the world. but for musicians like concert master andrew have run the acoustics have been well frustrating. we were basically shouting for the last 40 years, all too often the experience has fallen short of expectations and unmet expectations are really not something that we want at the. busy for half, construction on the sydney opera house was completed in 1973 a decade, a late and tens of millions over budget. the final result was easy on the eyes, but hard on the ears. now

a team of german sound engineers have changed that dozens of acoustic reflectors and diffusion panels and a stage that's now 40 centimeters lower, are just a few of the new elements. and we've now got a concert hall that will rival any concert hall in the world. this is one of the best acoustic concert holes in the entire world. politicians wants bawked at the cost of building the sydney opera house. now they pumped in another $150000000.00 australian dollars to help make this landmark venue reach its full potential. and before we go, he's a reminder of the top stories with following for you this hour. he was low. mike is investigating the assault on the capital on january 6th, se former president donald trump, should be held accountable for gross dereliction of duty. i say he chose not to condemn or stop the violence carried out by his supporters. russia and he cried, are expected to sign an agreement to die, to resume the export of brian from black c ports. it's hoped the deal bertha by the
