ah ah ah, this is the deputy news live from building us lawmakers say donald trump chose not to act as a mob of his supporters stormed the cap. for $100.00 made several minutes on january 6th. this man of unbridled destructive energy could not be moved. a u. s. congressional panel accuses the former president of filing to call off capital biases. also coming out,
10:01 am
hopes grow that an international food crisis can be aged. russia and ukraine appears tend to sign a deal to reopen or grind, export more unrest, ensure 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 paid austria and continued this surprising run to the final 4 of think you were paying championship. ah, i'm anthony. how'd welcome to the program. we begin in the united states where the committee investigating the january 6 attack on the capital has accused a former president donald trump of dereliction of duty. failing to coal off the riot, investigate his drew on testimony from top house. i had to describe the president's
10:02 am
inaction for nearly 3 hours during the assault on the capitol, through security footage and recorded interviews with those in the white house at the time. the panel argued that trump gave a green light to the violence. the president, president trump did not fail to act during the 187 minutes between leaving the ellipse and telling the mob to go home. he chose not to act well earlier i spoke with d. w. washington correspondent, send me some a scanned and asked her to talk more about the focus of the hearing shifting to what the president did not to on the day of the brots. that's right, anthony was very much about those 187 minutes. we heard reference in that clip that was the time between when he spoke to a 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,
10:03 am
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 riot to eg, 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 date detail started calling their families to say goodbye because they feared for their lives. and they, 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 capitol 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,
10:04 am
disparaged and discredited these hearings. he's delivered these long tirades on his social media platform truth social and he did that again on thursday asked 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 were 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,
10:05 am
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 the 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 that 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 and now it's time to take
10:06 am
a look at some of the other stories making news around the world to sell you. as president joe biden has tested positive for cove. 19 white house said he was experiencing very mild symptoms, a spokesperson added that the president would continue to carry out his duties. and that he started a course of antiviral drugs. paxton is ilene politician lula da silva, has been chosen as the candidate to take on j, a boss and arrow in the presidential election this year. he's been president twice before going to prison for corruption charges that would later overturned. he is currently the favorite to win the votes. in october, 3 men in spain have died in the last 24 hours from injury sustained, taking part in booth 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 under the last 8 he's will. turkey says the
10:07 am
deal has been breached with russia to allow ye crying to resume exports of grain through the black sea. the will shortage of ukrainian grand since the start of the war is left millions at risk of hunger. some 20000000 tons of dryness stuck in silos in the black sea port. the deal is to be signed on friday in istanbul, by ukraine, russia, turkey, and he went secretary general antonio who tennis will. meanwhile, in ukraine, russia has launched attacks on several cities in the east and in the south. free paper were killed in more than 20 injured in renewed shelling in the 2nd largest city of hockey. just an ordinary market on any other day. but this day a sight of devastation. 2 russian strikes at this tech still market in harkey. you've killed her husband. the shells struck a mask. a jim, a bus stop taking civilian lives. ukrainian officials say russia
10:08 am
is out for blood. even using weapons that are widely band. lauren crissy of 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 u funnel. what's the model? the lasagna little assembly. elsewhere in harkey of 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 marks, highly accurate mobile missile launchers allowing longer range attacks possible and i'll run it 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 know? what to russia all incoming help is a threat,
10:09 am
and it's responding with more attacks. in comp, tours separates ya. severe, don't ask. expanding the scope of war. what earlier i spoke with d. w correspondent, funny fashion in keith. she had more on that deal, and granite bought between ukraine and russia. 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,
10:10 am
what happened last week of the discussions among ukrainian, russian officials, broker b, u n. and also turkey to agree on some sort of a cease fire because obviously without the ceasefire, 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, with a 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 regents 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 in ukraine 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
10:11 am
a have a. yeah, a chance in this war against russian forces. funny, 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 you've read from there, there different ways to look at this. if you are zoom in on the don't bus region, for example, there's a lot of shelling going on, especially when you look at tells that from artworks or bach 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 done yes region. and this is exactly where russian forces would like to move into because as you may remember, a neighboring johan screech in there, the town senator done yet was the key center to take interaction control the entire lou on screen. so we going to hear a lot more about slow young in the coming days, but also about all that indiscriminate shelling that we've been seeing in that report. for example, in hockey region, at the same time, yes,
10:12 am
it seems like your brain enforce is also do have a momentum, a given a by west and a weapon, supplies, especially the high moss. they have a range of 50, can me of 80 kilometers and can strike various a supply chains of russia. we have to see how this develops, certainly to warn you. crane is that a turning point? they doubly corresponded. funny for sure. thank you. russia has resumed and natural gas deliveries to europe by the north stream of 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 to invasion of the crime. but the head of germany's energy regulator says his country is still at russia's mercy, and berlin is preparing for a possible winter energy cross look mean on germany salty coast. this is where they're not stream one pipeline ends. russian gas has now started flowing again
10:13 am
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 gaston flowing at only 40 per cent 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, and the real back round is politico traditional inter gone. it is the opposite of a guarantee of energy security in europe chart. in fact, russia is increasingly becoming an insecurity factor in our energy system in the houston. 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 reopen environmentally unfriendly coal fired power stations,
10:14 am
as well as energy saving measures in public buildings. people i'm like, we need to be prepared beyond the short term the winter as 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 man, 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, maybe 5, and then it will all change again. and you're 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 is freezing, warm lumps forever, then you'd have given a skeleton in energy security crisis seems to have been averted for now. but
10:15 am
germany and europe are bracing for a potentially cold winter ahead. ok, let's take a look at some more stories making headlines around the world. the cell, italy's president has dissolved parliament paving the way for early elections. it follows the resignation of prime minister mario draggy after the collapse of his national unity government. the president has asked mister dragon to remain in the post. as a caretaker leader. at least one person has been killed and doesn't injured after a tornado blew through a farming region of eastern china, the twisted damage the homes and property of more than 2000 people in jenks who profit south of beijing officials in pakistan. so at least 280 people have died in weeks of heavy rains and flooding. there. the national disaster management authority reported that almost 6000 homes have also been destroyed with critical infrastructure such as roads and bridges severely damaged italian,

samantha christopher that he has become the 1st european woman astronaut to take a spice war. she was joined by russian cosmonaut, although attend me with a to work on a new robotic new international space station. the i assess is one of the last areas of cooperation between russia and the west. since moscow invaded ukraine, lynch for lanka, security forces have cleared the main protest camp in the capital columba. it was the base of anti government protests for over 3 months. you have a not right, came just hours before demonstrate as were due to leave voluntarily. i are likely to be angered by the swearing in of new prime minister danish gonna wanna use a close ally of asked the president, got a bye a fuck. so it was forced to leave office that made public rage about sure. like a severe economic crisis. south asia bureau chief
10:17 am
emory the chima is in columbia covering events there for us. she was outside the presidential palace earlier where that camp was cleared. i asked to for more details about the right anthony, we had of 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 protests. in fact, it was the last bastion of protest inside a government property protested had gone in in the entrance of this building, and they will hold up there and were protesting. but then in the dark night, at 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 protests there, move the people out, and then this is a situation that we have now. barricades have been set up,
10:18 am
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 dozens of people were injured, at least 9 people were arrested and detained. and those, some people who resisted arrest were roughed up. in fact, even jonas were roughed up. one of our colleagues from the b, b. c was also kit, some of the injured are now in hospital. we also hearing some reports that a few of the protest as i still stranded in the camp below, in this secretariat le yesterday, be sure you signs like johnny go home and people with 3 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
10:19 am
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 there 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 hard line action by the government perhaps as provocative. and that may force them to come out on the streets again. now that she, lunk, and bar association was outraged by what happened in the early hours of the morning, the condemned, disproportionate use of force, which they said against peaceful protests as describing it as despicable. they
10:20 am
tried to mediate, but in fact, 2 of their 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 there were reports, as you mentioned, that they were voluntarily going to leave this evening. but as we saw, the government chose to take a hard line 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 firstly is he's a sworn in an interim cabinet. he's also appointed a new prime minister, as you mentioned, and the prime misses from 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 announced 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,
10:21 am
and capital colombo, thank you so much. to sports now in germany a through to the semi finals, a viewer at 2022 after betting austria to nil. and we kept their composure in a fiercely contested game in london escorting the 1st tough. and then again, right at the end to seal a meeting with on france, all the middle of the place for black arm bands in this game attribute to light gemini icon. that made us from de w. sports is here to tell us about what was a pretty good wind for germany. yes. clinical. it's exactly as jimmy of been throughout this torment, not a huge amount of flare, but getting the job done. lena mcgill scoring in the 1st half hour under pop. very late on there were quite surprised actually with how good austria work is austria, relatively unheralded. and that was a bit of a darby game. it really is oscar. obviously jerome speaking and quite love austin player, play in the, in the german league. so it's a bit of a bit of a dub, even of a club match or most, and some quite juicy tackles flying. and i've got to say nice germany world among
10:22 am
the very top favorites for this tournament. i think it's fair to say that things are slowly looking up, right? yes, indeed. i mean, they're record 8 times champions, but they weren't really tipped by many ahead of this tournament. host england with a favorites along with spain, generally beat spain relatively comfortably in the group stage. so now they really do have a chance. now there's a mouth watering possibility of a final between england and germany, wembley, but they've got a bit of work to do yet. they've got to be either france or the netherlands. they play to morrow, but they really do have a chance now and like, i say, not playing wonderfully, but that doing what they need to. and maybe they can pull off a brilliant performance when they really need it. in the same he's on the final and we can actually now listen to the captain alexandra pop. who was there relieved to get through? yes, van. yes, 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
10:23 am
a good feeling and gets us confident. because above all, we want again kept a clean sheet at home. that's of us. and it's always great to reach a semi final end of the semi and good as the freedom of an knife in alliance with alexandra pop. there the jelly captain speaking a better game in which they were tributes to mozilla. yes, indeed. and when he died, just ahead of kick off and, you know, in germany the governing body is, is the same for men's and women's football. so the women decided they should do a minute silence before the game and also where arm bands and, you know, they, they basically said has the game we want to win this game to obey. and that is exactly what they did for those who don't know vizier, the, he is basically top 3 in terms of german men footballers over over, over the years. i mean is up there with france, beckon bower and good molar we oversee, sadly last, last year as well. i mean, he always had a smile on his face of his ill, a dad 85. he was an incredible strike of her hamburger and his goals to games ratio was insane. he was actually quite unlucky to miss out on playing in the walk up in
10:24 am
1954 when west gym. the 1st one it. he was too young then, and then he was too old in 1974 when they want it for a 2nd time. so i think otherwise in another era, he would all certainly of winner when a will go with us from did of the sports. thanks. so much moving on now and the sydney opera house is australia's most famous landmark 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 acoustics now after more than 2 years. and millions of dollars in renovations, the concert hall has reopened. the whole new sound it's 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
10:25 am
shouting, for the last 40 years old til off, and the experience has fallen short of expectations and unmet expectations are really not something that we want at the off a 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 once bawked at the cost of building the sydney opera house, now they've pumped in another $150000000.00 australian dollars to help make this landmark venue reach its full potential.
10:26 am
now before we go, a reminder of the top stories we're following for you. they sell us lawmakers investigating the assault on the capital, on general 6 se former president donald trump, should be held accountable for gross dereliction of duty. i say he chose not to content or stop the violence carried out by his supporters. russia and ukraine are expected to sign an agreement today to resume the export of grind from black sea pools. it took the deal broken by the un and turkey will alleviate an international food crisis caused by moscow's decision to block the ship. now don't forget, you can always get d w news on the go. just download our app from google play or from the app store itself. that'll give you access to all the latest news from around the world as well as push notifications for any breaking news.
