5:02 pm
of grain shipments from ukrainian ports on the black sea following months of russian blockades. representatives from both sides, attended the signing in istanbul, along with turkish present wretched type. irwin and un secretary general antonio guiterres, its hope that re opening the ports and allowing grain to leave ukraine will help ease global food prices, which have spiked in recent months. and the signing ceremony, mister quoterush stressed the deal significance, calling it an agreement for the world. it will bring relief for developing countries on the edge of bankruptcy and the most vulnerable people on the edge of famine. and if you love stabilize global foot prices, which would already at record levels even before the war at little nightmare for developing countries. let's join t w correspondent, johan in istanbul, welcome you. this sounds like a lot of people will be breathing huge sighs of relief. this afternoon exactly. i think so, and not just here in istanbul, but around the world,
5:03 pm
people have been following these negotiations in the past 2 weeks in the past months even. and now finally a deal has been signed. i think it's fair to say that this is one of the most significant compromises, or the most significant compromise reached between moscow and key of since russia invaded ukraine in february, the un secretary general hailed it as and i caught him here a beacon of hope, but he also urged all sides to fully implement this agreement, turkish president edwin, who also played a key role in negotiating this deal or called it a turning point in this war. he said, vessel traffic could start and i quote him in the coming days, of course it remains to be seen how fast this whole plan can be put into action. because some of cautioned that it actually might take a couple of weeks to get this whole new grain export system up and running. but
5:04 pm
right now, as the war in ukraine rages on, i believe for many this is a sign of hope, at least so who has committed to walk in this deal earlier? well the, the actual text of the agreement has still not been made available as we speak. but we do know that the plan provides for ukrainian vessels to escort or guard cargo ships through mind to water. so the waters will not be specifically de mind at wire the black sea out of ukrainian territorial waters towards turkey. both sides have made promises that they would not attack these ships. um, now there is also should be a coordination center to be set up here in istanbul at this up strategically very important. lexi location is staffed by representatives of russia, ukraine,
5:05 pm
and turkey to oversee the brain exports and also to conduct inspections of these ships that with a specific russian demand, that old ships cargo ships traveling to ukraine or coming back would be inspected to make sure there are no weapons, a military equipment on board, but ukraine said they wanted that to take place and turkish war to so we're assuming right now that's exactly how it's gonna look like. right? because trust has been a big issue in these talks for both sides. well that, that is of course true and i've just, you know, mentioned a few points and is obviously very complex agreement. but for the ukrainians, security has always been a top priority and they said they would not approve anything that does not guarantee the safety of their southern regions and the security of their, of the exports of their agricultural products. and ukraine, as we all know, has accused russia in recent weeks of, you know,
5:06 pm
specifically targeting and more frequently targeting ukrainian cities. so ukraine has always been warning that, you know, they, they can trust russian promises specifically on security. and i think that will remain a sticking point. thank you for that. that unit, unit hon. if somebody take a look at this from a different angle with david labord who is a senior fellow at the international food policy research institute. welcome to t w. i'm chris with your reaction to today news of this do it's good news because anything that can help us to be taking trade on the black sea is need to you're pretty sure on the truck market. it's a good news for fall in ukraine and the good news for consumer all around the world trust has been a big issue, of course, and during these months of negotiations, what do you think has made this agreement possible? now, the way i think it is a big question about timing, because so on one hand,
5:07 pm
it's very important for ukraine to be about to exports in the coming month. we don't you august are coming and they need it to. we opened our market and nobody they bought a lot in the 2nd half of the year. also, cherokee is a big processor of book grains coming from ukraine and russia. and so in terms of economic costs that very painful for the turkeys economy to, to maintain the current that you quote. and i would say even rush out that you to the children in the black sea also being a price on its own export and his own access in terms of marketing, transportation for their own goods due to the level of uncertainty. so bringing back some dominating the black sea will provide benefits for the 3 countries directing vogue. and last but not least, i mean, i don't say russia, i've understood not that saving or deciding by the kelly taking all the software.
5:08 pm
ukraine is not. what people go right now, and so they, we moved to a new chapter. right? then speaking of your chapters, russia has been accused of using food as a weapon in its war with ukraine. does this mean that do this to this deal? mean that has stopped. so i was a, be very cautious about the fact that rash has used food and anger of the weapon. i mean, that's why the side effect. but clearly that was not their, their priority. so maybe some more cooperation among various countries in the region. yes. but i would not say it's totally your game changer about how russia will we be on the ground and they may steal out ukrainian control in foster care for instance. right now of course, the important thing is to get the grain on to world markets and into shops. we don't know, i suppose how long it's going to take to, to actually set this deal up and actually get,
5:09 pm
get working before that. the grain can actually reach people who need it. yeah, exactly. i think the implementation, you're going to be crucial because what we really also need is an agreement that's k. if so let's say one more, we just want to get one or 2 steps. i would talk ukraine, that more less i would say nothing. you know, what we need is to be able to have 2030, a day that can go in and out of your brain. if really we want to get something that will be close to normal. good talking to you. thank you for joining us in the border from the international of food policy research institute. thank you. when you come to your present volume is that, and he says he's countries forces have and now have the potential to turn the tide in the wall, thanks to the delivery of longer range weapons from the west. meanwhile, a senior u. s. defense official says, russia's military's believe to be suffering hundreds of casualties every day. russian forces have continued to launch scattered attacks across east and southern
5:10 pm
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 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, this place was hit by rockets with cluster bombs to maximize the damage to people who they don't go on. those who pushed the button on the rocket launcher, wanted to maximize damage to the civilian population. little assembly elsewhere in harkey, if ukrainian soldiers are learning how to use newly arrived weapons. western
5:11 pm
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 the can confidently work on the front line. what is it? no, no doubt. but to russia, all incoming help is a threat. and it's responding with more attacks. and chromatography separates ya. severe other netscape. expanding the scope of war, dw correspondence at nick conley is in cave. he gave me an update on the fighting in the east of you crate. the steel button, which is kind of seemingly russia's 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,
5:12 pm
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 done by the dot net region 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 you're paying very daily for that. so this is a country that is increasingly called 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. they calmly in case we'll take a look at some more stories making headlines around the world. now violence is broken out between rival security forces in the libyan capital, chipley, emergency services, at least once everything was killed. libya has been split for years between rival
5:13 pm
administrations in the east and west, each supported by various malicious and foreign governments. i'm officials in marley se soldiers of repelled a terrorist attack of the main military base in cathy just outside the capital by marco witnesses reported gunfire and explosions. the incident comes a day after militants linked to al qaeda attack. several other military camps in central molly killing one soldier and wounding 50 italian samantha, christopher, it has become the 1st european female astronauts to take a space walk. it was joined by russian cosmonaut, a r t f to work on a new body arm of the international space station. the i assess is one of the last areas of cooperation between russia and the west. in moscow invited you crate. this is d, w sly from berlin. still to come in maybe one of the world's most iconic buildings, but one part of the sydney opera house has been annoying musicians for decades,
5:14 pm
and it's now b. so i had of that a panel of us lawmakers, as accused a former president donald trump gross dereliction of duty, refusing to call off a mob of his supporters as a storm. the capital investigators heard testimony from the top you white house aides, who described president trump's in action 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 whatever it is. of donald trump or hurting 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 the elections or register mercy. his
5:15 pm
daughter, yvonne can trump, can be heard off camera coaching her father. now congress 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 them up to stand down for 3 hours, he refused to call off the attack. and donald trump refused to take the urgent advice he received that there are from his political opponents 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 to trump told him the truth. it was his supporters attacking the
5:16 pm
capital and he alone could get through to them. kin, singer, 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 with a large we on the style, several members of the capitol police force have been in the audience during the hearings, which will resume in september and at the white house on the morning of
5:17 pm
a william banks is a professor of constitutional lawrence, syracuse university, i asked him whether mr. trump is likely to face legal consequences. as a result of 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, the united states, which courses independent because chris and subordinate whitehouse. and the attorney general is going to make a judgment ball, whether it's proven to charge the former president in light of the political circumstances and be whether they have the proof that would stand up against the criminal law standard in the united states, which is that he must be proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. right. there are more hearings to be to be held,
5:18 pm
but let speculate what sorts of charges if any, are we, would we say what, what sorts of charges would that 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 testimony that indeed he did lease, 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 care 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
5:19 pm
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 9 if 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 carol 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,
5:20 pm
and the leadership chose not to. there are 2 republicans, it's certainly not a camera group kangaroo court. 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 who's worked so far is what, what a fine job they've done, of creating a narrative. and if for no other reason these hearings i've created and narrative video, documentary evidence from, from the 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 center su lanka. we just wanted a new prime minister and capitalist a day after a new president took office and the country struggles to cope with
5:21 pm
a devastating economic and political crisis. earlier riot police faced accusations of using excessive force to remove demonstrators from a protest site. the 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 tense 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 expressed shock at the rate accusing police of using unjustified and disproportionate force. last night we normally be fair. there are gama troops,
5:22 pm
gamma do those and drugs came here. i bet they blocked all broads. but the barriers and destroyed our dan, dan, our property, and they, they've ordered a rescue, the president of the secretary office and they beat us really badly come off there for to start and they are badly injured. and some of them had a good annual lawyer. 1019 president colored and he don't cowardly action against the base. with the rate came a day after sri lanka swore in a new president, renelle rec m. a singer. he will replace cut up idea roger puck south, who fled the country this month and resigned in one of his 1st actions as president rick m a single pointer d nash corner where dina, as prime minister, he's
5:23 pm
a senior politician. consider to be a long time rajah parkside loyalist. the new government now faces the task of leading the country out of its economic collapse and restoring order after months of mass protest. but protesters have vowed to continue rolling until there's a break with the familiar political elite they say is responsible for the mass dw south asia bureau chief from rita chima sent us this assessment from the ser, lankin, capital columba, 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,
5:24 pm
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 2 or 3 men stood up and said, dick, my pitcher, 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 brought a scam, the gall, gotta a gump. yup. which is called the golwood. i got my camp and we met a few protesters there and they were here last night and they said the police came in. they closed all the exits, and b 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. first line of defense of police officers and behind them military soldiers, that situation is dense, but at the moment the protest are completely peaceful and want to say, this is a silent protest. i made

5:26 pm
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 constant hole that will rival any constant hole in the will. this is one of the best acoustic concept holes in the entire world. politicians once balked 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 reminder of our top store is at best. our most go and cave have side the deal to resume grain shipments out of ukraine, ending a russian blockade of black sea poles. un secretary general antonia quoterush, hailed it as a beacon of hope for the world that will ease and international food crisis. and us
