gandhi's legacy sorts of august 6th on d, w. mm hm. ah, this is the w news light from burly and growing hopes that an international food crisis can be eased. moscow and kiva poised to find a deal to resume great shipments from black c ports blockaded by russia. also on the program, us lawmakers say for the president, donald trump, a chose not to act as a mob of his supporters store the u. s. capital for 187 minutes on january 6. this may end of unbridled destructive energy. it could not be moved. us

congressional panel, it uses the former president of failing to call off the riotous plus. my only goal was to ensure the integrity of the vote did not represent or never before seen outtakes from a trump speech showing an angry president unwilling to admit defeat and more unrest in shalanda doesn't say any of the security forces, clear. the main anti government protest camp in the capitol, columbus. ah, i'm so gale. welcome to the program. it's a standoff that's been threatening the food security of millions of people around the world. but now russia and ukraine maybe about to sign a deal to allow grange shipments to resume from black c ports or the 20 and tons of

gray, and stuck in silence that represent system ukraine. i'm to russia about to assign the steel, which was broken by the un in turkey. well, that so to d, w correspond the duly hahn in a stumble. welcome you. yeah. what do we know about the steel? well 1st of all, turkey and the united nations have tried for weeks to broker deal on ukrainian, a grain exports to reach a compromise between moscow and kia and nowadays managed to bring the 2 sides together. here in istanbul at the dorm, a batch of palace, that's the building they are right behind me, the turkish president, reggie pie bad one is here, the united nations secretary general until you who cherish is a here. what is very interesting to mention though, is that from what we understand, ukraine and russia won't be signing the exact same piece of paper. ukraine presidential 8 for dall. eoc tweeted a little earlier that ukraine would only sign an agreement with turkey and the

united nations. but not directly with russia, and that russia would sign a miracle agreement with turkey and the united nation. so right now, it's not clear what that will mean for implementation. now, the full text of the agreement has also not been made available yet. but from what we know, the plan provides for ukrainian vessels to escort cargo ships through mind waters across the black sea. russia has a made promises, it won't attack these ship, sir, that is a very, very big concern for the ukrainian side. and we also know that coordination center, it will be created here in istanbul, staffed with representatives from turkey, ukraine, and russia to oversee these grain exports just to name a few details of this plan that is obviously much more complex. and of course, with any agreements that there is a need to verify, verify, verify, i'm turkeys go to play a role in that well, yes,

of course i just to mention another detail of the plan and that's because it's been a russian demand of all ships. so traveling to or coming from ukraine, herb will be investigated to see whether there are any weapons or other military equipment on on board. that's what the russians are wanted, but the ukrainians insisted that will be happening in turkish waters because they don't trust the russians that that can happen out on the open sea. so turkey will, in the end play, will have to play a very active role when it comes to the implementation of this agreement. and i think implementation here is very, very keen, because we actually know that the ukranian government has accused russian forces in recent weeks of intensifying air strikes. missiles, strikes on you, premium cities, and they have warned that they actually don't trust russia to keep it. it's promises, especially when it comes to security. i'm sure you've said that this deal will back

will be between russia and the un. i'm turkey, i'm between ukraine and the u. n. and turkey. i'm so why is it that turkey is so intimately involved in these negotiations? well, or the turkish government, or has good relations with both countries with ukraine and russia. and it has a very early on in this war, offered to act as a mediator in this conflict. in fact, many say turkey has performed a very delicate balancing act here between russia and ukraine, russia and the west. but in the end are they have managed to bring delegations from both countries together. here in turkey, they have brought m a to sit down here at the dorm, a batch, a palace together. so any, any deal today would be, i believe, one of the most significant compromises reached between moscow and p. f. since russia invaded strain in february, it would be

a great so thank you so much for that. so you'll, you'll, johan in istanbul, and german chancellor, ola shoulds as interrupted his summer holiday to explain how his government's planning to deal with the looming energy crisis. consumers and businesses for a soaring prices and potential energy shortages because of germany's dependence on russian gas is to show that the government would spend billions of euro's bailing out trouble gas provider unity. because the effects of its collapse would ripple through the entire economy. doesn't unimed unit per unit law is in big trouble. it's a company that's of paramount importance for this country's economy because energy supplies to citizens. but also to many companies see dr. new, he has a purchased gas from many suppliers here, including gas, prom and russia. are done by gas palmer glass, not the supplies are lethal, as we all know that i no longer secure the issue now to the united states where

a panel of lawmakers has accused form of president donald trump, of gross dereliction of duty for refusing to call off a mob of his supporters as a storm, the capital investigators her testimony from a top white house aides, who described to mister trumps and inaction for nearly 3 hours during the assault. on the 6th of january 2021, the committee also saw clips of him rehearsing. his speech the day after the attack and refusing to say the 2020 election was over, the hearings have included a mix of life testimony, pre recorded depositions, and never before seen footage, including these outtakes. that's whenever editor of donald trump rehearsing his video address to the nation a day after the attack on the capital. but this election is now congress has certified the results. i don't want to say elections over. i just wanna say his daughter, yvonne could trump can be heard off camera coaching her father congress. now

. yeah. to get congress, the committee documented how the former president was not only aware of the attack on the capital. he watched the violence unfold on television in a small dining room off the oval office, rebuffing please by aids, politicians, and members of his own family to tell the mob to stand down. for 3 hours, he refused to call off the attack. donald trump refused to take the urgent advice he received that there are from his political opponents or from the liberal media, but from his own family. his own friends, his own staff, and his own advisors in the midst of an attack. when there was no time for politics, the people closest the trunk told him the truth. it was his supporters attack in the capital and he alone could get through to them kensington. one of only 2

republicans on the committee says instead, trump chose not to act violating his oath of office and placing lives in danger. 5 people died as a result of the attack. some 140 police officers were injured and to date more than 850 people have been arrested in connection with the riot. he came on the heels of his speech by trump, to supporters in which he falsely claimed the election had been stolen and that vice president mike pence could overturn the results. during the hearings, one white house security official described how secret service agents protecting pens that day called love once to say good bye. as the mob broken side move bbt diligence, i'm sure. in march, we on the sy, several members of the capital police force have been in the audience during the hearings, which will resume in september and at the white house on the morning. so where is all this leading?

as discuss that with william banks was a professor of constitutional law at syracuse university. a welcome to the w professor. is donald trump likely to face legal consequences as a result of evidence presented in these hearings? he may face legal consequences, but it's going to be a close call. i think, as your viewers may or may not know, the decision has to be made not by this congressional committee, whether to prosecute him, but by the justice department. the attorney general of the united states, which courses independent of the congress and subordinate the white house. and the attorney general is going to have to make a judgement for whether it's proven to charge the former president in light of the political circumstances. and then be whether they have the proof that would stand up against the criminal law standard in the united states, which is must be proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. right?

there are more hearings to be to be held, but let speculate what sorts of charges if any, are we would we say what, what sorts of charges, what would they be? attorney general be looking at i think the most likely charge the one that's most straightforward and perhaps one that's easiest to prove is that he obstructed a congressional proceeding. we can see even from, from the video evidence, not to mention the customer name that indeed he did least participate in a conspiracy to force congress not to go forward with the certification of the boat on january, the 6th and vice president intent not to whose constitutional obligation and statutory obligation to certify those electors. indeed, we might not have the certification completed on that day. that's a federal crime. and it seems to me the elements of the crime are fairly easy to

prove. the tricky thing in our system in the us is that we must also prove that the president, if it's to be done, that the former president intended to break the law that he wasn't merely exercising his. his 1st amendment rights as political beliefs is strongly held feelings that the election was stolen from him. but that he knew there was a law about obstructing congress and he intended to break it. right. that's a tougher thing to explain that very clearly. so what we're talking here about the house of representatives, select committee and hearing mr. trump has described this as a kangaroo court. how would you describe it? well, it, it is a by camera or not by camera. with bipartisan committee, there are 7 democrats and 2 republicans. republicans were invited to contribute. an equal number of representatives are delegates to the committee,

and the leadership chose not to. there are 2 republicans, it's certainly not a camera group camera record. the 2 republicans have been very vocal in their participation in what's remarkable to many of us here in the us about the committee has worked so far is what, what a fine job they've done, of creating a narrative. and i, if for no other reason these hearings i've created and narrative video, documentary people evidence from, from witnesses that will stand as a historical record of how close the nation came to a democratic crisis on that day. and thank you so much for explaining that. so clearly, professor professor william banks from syracuse university will take a look at some more stories making headlines around the world. now,

a violence has broken out between rival security forces in libya as a capital tripoli, emergency services, at least one civilian has been killed. maybe it's been split for years between rival administrations in the east and west, each supported by malicious and foreign governments. army officials in molly se soldiers of repelled a terrorist attack on the main military base in cathy just outside the capital. pamlico witnesses reported gunfire and explosions. the incident comes a day after medicines are linked to al qaeda attacks. several other military comes in central. molly killing one soldier and wounding 15. no italian. samantha christopher ratty has become the 1st european female astronaut to take a space walk. she was joined by russian cosmonaut, allegra, tammy f, and to walk to work on a new robotic arm of the international space station. i s. s is one of the last areas of cooperation between russia and the west. since russia invaded ukraine.

this is dw news. life from berlin still come. it may be one of the world's most iconic buildings, but one part of the sydney opera house has been annoying, musicians fed decade. and now that problem has been so far. so ukraine's at present a voluntary zaleski says he's countries forces half and now have the potential to turn the tide and the war, thanks to the delivery of long range weapons from the west. meanwhile, the senior u. s. defense official says, russia's military is believed to be suffering hundreds of casualties every day. russian forces have continued to launch scattered attacks across eastern and southern ukraine, including strikes on the city of hockey that killed at least 3 people. just an ordinary market on any other day, but this day a sight of devastation. russian strikes at this texture 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 is out for blood. even using weapons that are widely band laura, this place was hit by rockets with cluster bombs to maximize the damage to people who the doctor ran those who pushed a button on the rocket launcher, wanted to maximize damage to the civilian population. we will also elsewhere and 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 on the foreign weapons were shipped with onto tank weapons and mortars. now we are

teaching a boy so that can confidently work on the front line. what does it lenovo? but to russia, all incoming health is a threat. and it's responding with more attacks. in chromatography separates ya severe a genetic expanding the scope of war. a skirt more from a d. w comes upon and nick, commonly in keep welcome. nick. how can we start with this deal about to be signed between ukraine, moscow, turkey and the un to allow the resumption of drain shipments. and how is that being greeted there? and keith when theory with a lot of enthusiasm, but there is a huge amount skepticism that russia will stick to it side of the deal. basically what he's trying to do is to basically bring about peace on the water on the black sea, while the war heats up on land, especially in the south of ukraine, near those ports. that's near where ukraine wants to go into counter attack and

where it's expected. we'll see a lot more fighting the weeks to come. so a lot of skepticism and a lot of question marks, but as to how those 2 things are going to be basically detached from another. and you know how it's going to work in practice? how turkey and other foreign countries are going to guarantee ukraine safety. if it does take away those mines and open access to its main port cities that are in themselves, prime targets for russia's expansionism, we heard from russian for mr. sega lever of, in recent days, that don bass is basically not enough russia that ukraine still has to expect attacks and more russian offensive across all of its territory. so definitely a lot of question marks, even though people here are desperate to get an opportunity to sell their goods to the rest, the world after 5 months war. yes. and, and on that, if the deal or works and grain shipments are, do leave those black sea ports. that's going to be a big boost to the ukranian economy. definitely agribusiness is one of the mainstays of ukraine's economy. this is the country that feeds about half a 1000000 people around the world in certain middle easton and north african

countries. the dependence on ukrainian grain is beyond the top 2 thirds of their normal grain in port. so this is really crucial. knoxville crane, but the entire region, and we were just in the south ukraine where the new harvest is being brought in right now. and they basically have no way to put it. they still have last year's crop, which they weren't able to sell because they normally would have sold it in the 1st few months. the year when price the highest that still there, they got the new harvest. they don't have to pay their wage bill. how to buy new seeds, new fertilizer, diesel, they're in a real bind, especially smaller farm with having to basically give up their land, rented out to the big players because they just don't have the cash. they're in a cash flow crisis. and this is normally a part of ukraine is going to be that keeps a lot of people and worked at stephanie very serious, and that ukraine now in the months ahead, is really going to face not just the, the, that the military battle, but also the can amik battle about how to keep afloat now to keep the government and ordering people, you know, going through their daily lives in a situation where most ordinary business isn't possible. and a final word about the fighting, a nick still being fort fiercely in the east and south of the country. and perhaps

you could bring us up to date. well in the east, the city buffalo is kind of seemingly rushes big next target. it's a city that was close the front line since 2014 and had been pretty well defended, but the russian forces are pushing towards their for now, it seems like the ukranian army is able to keep that russian advanced back, especially with the help of those western weapons that made such a difference in recent weeks, but russia definitely trying to push the home that advantage maybe take will dunbar took the dot net reason rather there in the next couple of weeks and in the south of ukraine planning that counter attack. but then given the missile attacks within reason, weeks, basically there is no part of this country that is safe, no place where civilians can really feel like they're away from the danger. and we've seen people, we're trying to go about the daily business, ignoring those air raid and missile warnings, and they're paying very daily for that. so this is a country that is increasingly cost the fact that there is no corner of this

country that is somehow separate from this war. and there's really no loss to happy mounting in recent weeks. all right, anecdotally in keith. thank you so much. as blanca, sworn in a new prime minister and cabinet a day after a new president took office. and as the country struggles to cope with a devastating economic and political crisis earlier, riot police effaced accusations of using excessive force to remove demonstrators from a protest site. now a government near government buildings o caught by surprise, and at night hundreds of troops and police commanders moved on the protesters outside the presidential offices in colombo, removing tens and protest banners. several people were arrested. as the sun rose, the security forces had cordoned off the area,

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 be fair and gama untruths. gamma do those and robs game here, and they blocked all broads. but the barriers and destroyed aloe tan dan now of property. and they, they've ordered a rescue. the president of the secretary office and they beat us really badly come off the but historical theater. they are badly injured and some of them had a good annual, annoy a 1019 president colored and he took cowardly action against the base. with the rate came a day after sri lanka swore in

where 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 scam. the go go to a camp here, which is called the go good are gonna camp. and we met a few protest is 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 1st line of defense of police officers and behind them 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. rita chima, in columbia of sydney, or browse is australia's most famous landmark unesco world heritage size. and one of the world's most iconic buildings for looks aren't everything for decades, musicians and music critics of complaint about the buildings, poor acoustics. now the concert hall has reopened. the whole new sat 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 shouting, for the last 40 years old hill 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 is now 40 centimeters lower, are just a few of the new elements. and we've now got a concert hall that rattle 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 is remind of our top story at this hour.
