a ah ah, this is the w live from berlin. hopes are growing bad. an international food crisis can be of the month of talks moscow and keith appear ready to sign a deal to resume grand shipments from black sea ports that are currently blockaded by russian. also coming up, a searing indictment of donald trump, us lawmakers say he chose not to act as a mob of his supporters stole the capital for 187 minutes on january 6th. this man of unbridled destructive energy could not be moved. a u. s. congressional
2:01 pm
panel accused the former president of failing to call off capital, right? right. plus my only goal was to ensure the integrity of the blow does not represent our current. i'll take from a trump speech that have never been seen before. showing that the angry presidents, unwilling to admit and more unrest in sri lanka, dozens are injured as security forces clear, the main anti government protest come in the capital column. ah, i'm gabels has welcome to the program. it is a standoff that has been threatening the food security of millions of people across the world. but now it seems russia and ukraine may be about to sign
2:02 pm
a deal to allow gram shipments to resume from black c ports. more than 20000000 tons of grain or stuck in silos, the air representatives from both ukraine and russia are set to inc, the deal which was broken by turkey, our viewer, but they will sign separate agreements from all of this. let's bring in d. w. correspond and julia han hooks closely watching the latest developments in is stumble there. you know what's happening in assemble today. well, if not derailed at the last minute, so the deals will be signed here at the dilemma basha palace in istanbul, the building there right behind me this off to noon, and this will be a deal finally allowing ukraine to reopen. it's ports in the black sea and resume grain exports, grain exports that we know off urgently needed because the world faces shortages
2:03 pm
and rising food prices. now the signing ceremony will be attended by turkish president edwin and un secretary general quoterush bozeman have played a key role negotiating this compromise. they have been trying for weeks now to broker a compromise between moscow and keith. and as we know, the turkish government has good relations with both ukraine and russia, and they've tried to cast themselves as the most engaged mediator in this war. and now they have managed again to bring delegations here to turkey. the russian defense minister is here in istanbul to day ukraine's infrastructure minister as well. so it really seems like there has been a breakthrough a. what else do we know about the deal about the details of the deal? well, the full details of these agree and have not been made public yet, but from what we know, the deal provides for a un run in control center to be created here in istanbul at this very strategic
2:04 pm
lexi location, staffed by representatives from a russia ukraine. and turkey to over see these at brain export. the 2 sides have reportedly also agreed that ships traveling to and from ukraine would be inspected to make sure there are no weapons or other military equipment on board. that's been a key russian demand. but these inspections, the ukranian se, will take place in turkish waters. so what we're going to see in the end, i think, is ukranian vessels escorting cargo ships through so called safe corridors in the black sea. both sides have made promises that they would not attack these ships in and out of it on an, on their way in and out of ukrainian territorial waters. but ukraine has already warned that it has a problems trusting russian of promises. so security, at least for the ukrainians remains the most contentious issue here. ok,
2:05 pm
responded to the honda reporting from the stumble. thank you. a while in ukraine, russia has launched a tax on several cities in the east and the self. 3 people were killed and more than 20 injured in renewed shelling and the 2nd largest city hockey's. just an ordinary market on any other day. but this day, a sight of devastation. russian strikes at this tech still market in harkey. you've 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. router hung place was hit by rockets with cluster bombs to maximize the damage to people who the look go on. those who pushed the button on the rocket launcher,
2:06 pm
wanted to maximize damage to the civilian population. little a silly elsewhere and hark eve, 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 on the foreign weapons were shipped with onto tank weapons and mortars. now or you're teaching a boy so the can confidently work on the front line. what does it manada? but to russia, all incoming health is a threat and it's responding with more attacks. in chromatography separates ya severe, don't ask, expanding the scope of war. now let's bring in our correspondence, ernie connelly in cave. nick despite this deal on grand shipments and that has been
2:07 pm
reached apparently that in turkey, that the war is going on with fresh offensive moves by russia. what's the latest there on the ground? well, that's exactly the points are at the same time where russian ukraine meant be learning, trust each other on the see not far away on land in southern ukraine, in the had san region. lot of fighting going on ukraine trying to push russian troops back for intense fighting. that part of the country been already there in the east in are done yet screeching, near the city of buck, morty, russia trying to push home its advantage there. and bessie pushed the ukrainian lines back, a busy keep a move on from there, or that kind of role of success. they had a couple of weeks back to no sense, there's any lessening of tension, lessening of fighting. quite the opposite of the russia take, took a kind of break of a couple of weeks to regroup its forces in that part of the world, things hunting up again. so it's pretty difficult to see a situation where trust is going to be built between russia and ukraine,
2:08 pm
where there's going to be a willingness to stick to commitments made and a low question marks of the steel. now let's come back to this deal. how's it going down in, in ukraine? do people trust this agreement? the 1st things, 1st, this, if it were to come to fruition, if it were to work out, this would be a matter boost ukraine's economy. obviously, most of ukraine's exports not only foodstuffs, but also metal products. other things are all stuck because the land roots just simply don't have the capacity to compensate for ports, like a desa mc alive, which allowed ukraine to send its goods direct to the world's markets. we will talk to farmers of the last few days we're getting paid, but a 3rd of what they would have got a just a year ago for their grain. even though world prices are sky high. because no one can get this grain out. the trickle that is leaving the country isn't enough to make a difference. they've still got lots of loss is harvest in their bonds, and now they're harvesting the new harvest. so just too much gray and know where to put it. and as for this deal, well, you know, there is a lot of skepticism here that russia will not take advantage of this to attacks. it
2:09 pm
is like a desa, we heard from sega level versus foreign mr. recent days that russia is not going to stop, not gonna leave at the dawn bath, that basically all of ukraine is fair game to russian forces. so the idea that somehow russia would now allow ukraine to do something that would civically strengthen its economy and make things easier for ordinary ukrainians at the price of leaving a desa untouched. that is something that no one here really isn't hurry to believe . so i think people will believe this deal when they see it working and for now a still deeply skeptical valley where we are talking about more than 20000000 tons of brandon are currently stuck in black. see ports in your grant if that amount is be shipped kind of make a difference for the ukrainian economy, which definitely crucial to you. great farmers who are basically facing a cash flow crisis. and basically an unclear where they can get the money to pay wages to pay taxes to buy next year seeds and fertilizers. so that obviously is crucial for them. there is some government support, but it's definitely not enough. we've heard lots stories of smaller farmers,
2:10 pm
busy having to rent out their land to the big agro industrial busy concerns who have the ready cash to somehow deal with this crisis. but it is something that is really hitting the farming sector, which is one of ukraine strongest and fastest growing economical directions. ukraine was really on its way to becoming a kind of food superpower support to rember here, that ukraine feeds about half a 1000000000 people around the world. and countries like lebanon, or a text on ukraine's grain makes up for, you know, if not half, than, of, in some cases, more than 2 thirds of total grain consumption in vegetable oil, sunflower seeds, about half the world's crop comes from this country. so this is a country that is crucial to keeping prices manageable for lots people in low income countries who it can be facing very difficult time without this ukrainian food w. first, when an economy and key of their thank you very much, nick and united states. the committee investigating the
2:11 pm
general 6 attack on the capital as it used former president donald trump of dereliction of duty for failing to call off the riots. investigators drew on testimony from top white house aides, who described the president's inaction for nearly 3 hours during the assault on the capital, 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 violets to rally. and now the hearing also saw previously unpublished video showing donald trump refusing to say that the 2020 presidential election was over the outtakes from his address filled on january 7th. last year showed the president, modifying the script. ah, i would like to begin by addressing the hand as attack yesterday. and to those who broke the law, you will pay. you do not represent our movement. you do not represent our country. and if you broke the law,
2:12 pm
can't say that. i'm not you. i already said you will pay the demonstrators who infiltrated the cap. have defied the seat of dusty file, right? she, i can't see it very well. okay, i'll do this. i'm going to do this. let's go. but this election is now, congress has certified the results. i don't want to say elections over, i just want to say congress has certified the results without saying the elections over. okay. now congress? yes. now that is a over so little mission. don't go to the paragraph before. ok . i would like to begin by addressing the heinous attack yesterday yesterday. his ard word for me i could take the word yesterday cuz it does it work with the high energy tech
2:13 pm
when our country say on our country when i say that? yeah, my only goal was to ensure the integrity of the vote. my only goal was to ensure the integrity of the vote. and we asked lawrence try but professor of constitutional law at harvard university, about any legal consequences that donald trump could face. following the hearings very seriously, your consequences. he is perfectly entitled to believe whatever he wants, but the election was certainly over. it was over when the electoral college voters overwhelmingly before his opponent for joe biden, on december 14th. he incited an insurrection. he was guilty, it appears from all of the evidence of conspiring to overturn the election.
2:14 pm
he was defrauding the american people of a fair election and he was clearly obstructing congress. those are very grave crimes. some of them are punishable by 20 years in federal prison. and one of them is citing an insurrection and giving aid to an insurrection, results in permanent disqualification from ever holding public office in the united states. so those are the consequences that this tyrannical man faces. now let's come back to the, the panel that which is of course be bipartisan, but do the hearings effect the republican party internally, right. well, there are certainly a growing number of republicans who are beginning to say privately what they said publicly in the wake of the violence that the president fermented,
2:15 pm
namely, that he is unqualified ever to hold office and that they are done with him. the moment the cameras are turned on, they are afraid of what he will do to them. no, are afraid. both of the physical threats that some of them are receiving, which is really terrifying, but also of the political threats. so it's too early to say whether the republican party will end up with a different candidate next time around. perhaps governor de santis of florida. people who are less obviously clownish, but every bit as dangerous, perhaps even more so because they are smarter and more disciplined. now presidential elections aside, will these hearings, do you think haven't any impact on the midterm elections? are that's even harder to predict the midterm elections, of course, don't have donald trump on the ballot, but a great many people are hope i'm among them. hearing that the threat to democracy
2:16 pm
of this group of republicans ever again holding power will encourage people to go to the polls and in the midterms vote for people who are going to protect democracy in various ways. that means basically voting for democrats because the people who are elected in the mid terms, both to state legislatures and to the congress of the united states are people who are going to be writing the laws that affect what happens in november of 2024. so there is likely to be some impact, but it's impossible to measure talking about the impact that does the american public. how much about these hearing? well, if we're to judge by the number of people who are increasingly watching than they do care. even though inflation is a number one priority, the cost of gas at the pump is bothering people. but there were over 20000000
2:17 pm
people who watch the testimony of cassidy hutchinson the other day on. and we don't yet know the precise of them who watched last night, but there is a growing sense on the part of the american people that this really did come close to a push to a coup that over through the american government. and although that's a little abstract compared to concrete, things like gasoline prices, the evidences that more and more americans realize that if democracy is lost here, then all is lost. lawrence, dr. professor of constitutional law at harvard, thank you very much. thank you. your germany's chancellor. all of shots has interrupted a summer holiday to explain how his government is planning to deal with a looming energy crisis. consumers and businesses faces soaring prices and potential energy shortages because of germany's dependence on russian gas. so said
2:18 pm
the government will spend billions of years bailing out trouble. gas provide a uni per because the fact effects of is co, it's collapse, would ripple through the entire economy doesn't unimed unit per unit wash is in big trouble. it's a company that's of paramount importance. for this country's economy because it's not for energy supplies to citizens, but also to many companies to new. it has her chest gas from many suppliers here, including gas. prom and russia, dawned on by gas palmer gross not the supply easily feel. as we all know this, i no longer secures issue the w's political correspondent. neither hossa was a transfer in berlin for schultz briefing. she told us what else his government is planning aside from the costly bailout for unit. well, she said that it was vital to bail out univ her. now, because if a universe had failed, that would, this would have had tremendous implications,
2:19 pm
not just on that company, but also on smaller energy providers. and ultimately, also consumers. you have to keep in mind that some 60 percent of gas imports here in germany are dealt with via unit per a. so it's a very big firm. and a univer will also be allowed to pass on some of the higher costs for gas imports that are now happening on the world market to it's consumers. so that is new as well. and that will probably come into effect in october, possibly also in september. and all i've saw is also announced a number of financial aid packages and also measures that are aimed at helping the more vulnerable people here, especially pensioners, etc, and come to terms with those rising costs. he said that an average german family has to expect a rising gas prices of some $200.00 to $300.00 euros per year. so that is something where the government is working very heavily on, on getting instruments in place in the next couple of months. now the transfer interrupted as a summer holiday for this. was that strictly necessary?
2:20 pm
and what does that tell us? well yeah, this was almost a whatever it takes moment said o left shows himself to day in the press conference. those of us who remember the banking crisis about a decade ago will know what those words mean when senior european official said that they would do whatever it takes to help add the banks that are essentially relevant for the entire system to get out of this crisis and we'll have shot set the same is now happening with the energy sector. and that this government is doing everything it can. but of course, it is a big deal when the chancellor interrupt his summer holiday to make this announcement, he had been criticized for essentially leaving it up to the greens to his minister for economy and the climate and energy or about having to explain to germans just how serious this crisis is, and just what kind of difficult decisions the government has to make at the moment
2:21 pm
. but whether this strategy buy will have shots to now make it his own thing has paid off will only find out one's heating. prices are really hitting diamond consumers in the winter are political correspondent, nina hossa. they're reporting from berlin. thank you, nina. sri lanka has sworn in a new prime minister and cabinets. it comes a day after a new president took office on the us. the company struggles to cope with devastating economic and political crisis early arrived. police use what some called excessive force to remove demonstrators from a protest such near government buildings. ah, caught by surprise. and at night hundreds of troops and police commanders moved on. the protesters outside the presidential offices in colombo, removing tense and protest banners. several people were arrested. yeah. as the sun rose, the security forces had cordoned off the area,
2:22 pm
and more troops were being bused in activist express shock at the rate accusing police of using unjustified and disproportionate force. last night we normally the fair. there are gama troops gamma do those and robes game here. and they blocked the all, broads, but the barriers and destroyed allah, dan dan. now the property and they, they've ordered a rescue, the president of the secretary office and they beat us really badly come off a. they are badly injured and some of them had a good annual, annoy a 1019 with covered. and he took cowardly

2:24 pm
also to a burglary from liter, cima is in columbus covering the rents for us. i asked her how people there are reacting to the government's decision to clear the protest come away. obviously this great anger and rage, again, had read, i'm standing is next to the presidential secretariat, which was taken over by the police and the army in a dramatic midnight operation. and right here in front of these barricades, you can see there is a protest going on. it is a small protest, but the people here are extremely angry. you have men, you have women. but you also have some nuns sitting at the back. at one point they saw them be at the police filming them, and there was a big anger because it's meant to be a silent protest. but 23 men stood up and said, take my picture, i'm the person who's prepared to die for the country, not just for my family, but for your family as well. so you can see tempers are running very high. now right across here is the remnants of the major protest. can the go go to
2:25 pm
a camp here, which is called the go good are gonna camp and we met a few protest as there and they were here last night and they said the police came in, they closed all the exits and they were beaten up and i saw protested, who showed me marks that they had on their bodies where they were beaten up. now they're not sure how long they can stay here. but as you can see, the security presence is very high. the 4th line of defense of police officers and behind them are military soldiers. so that situation is dense, but at the moment the protests are completely peaceful. and what they say, this is a silent protest. okay, but the camp is now broken up. does that mean and with all the police that we see in the background, there doesn't mean that the government is back in full control. will the government would like to think its in full control and it is in terms of the forces which are out here. but he also and asked me about the reactions at of one by what has been the reaction. there's been a huge amount of reaction to this midnight crackdown on this protest scam. you have
2:26 pm
the leader of the opposition's describing it as a, as a brute, a useless show of brute force. you have the lawyers association saying this track down on piece were protest is, was despicable. you have various ambassadors who treated their reaction, expressing concern, including the, you know, the government has taken control of the last bastion, which the protests of protest has had occupied the entrance of the presidential secretariat. so in that sense they have complete control and we were driving around earlier and they have the heavy police presence in all sensitive sites like entrances to the presidential palace close to the prime minister's office. so i ping in terms of law and order the country, the new president has definitely got things under control. on south asia correspondent, i'm outta chima, they're reporting from colombo and sherlock affect your moodle. you're watching the w. c. as a reminder of the top story we're following for you, russia and ukraine, i expected assign separate agreements to resume the export of rain from black
