ah ah ah this is d w. news light from burn moscow and cave side deal to resume grain shipments out of ukraine. united nations health as a beacon of hope, it will. it is a global food crisis, but ukraine says it doesn't trust russia's promises. also on the program,

us lawmakers as a form of president donald trump chose not to act as a mob of his support to store the u. s. capital for 187 minutes on january 5th. this man of unbridled destructive energy could not be moved. i, u. s. congressional panel accuses the former president of failing to call off the riotous my only goal is to ensure the integrity of the vote that represent i also watched, never before seen outtakes from a trump speech, showing an angry president unwilling to admit defeat, demonstrate the world's 2nd largest rain forest under threat. we'll find out how congo is empowering communities to stop deforestation. ah, i'm feel gale. welcome to the program. been signs to allow the resumption of grain

shipments from ukrainian ports on the black sea following months of russian blockades, represent ships from both sides, attended the signing ceremony in istanbul, along with turkish president, friendship type urgent and un secretary general. antonia quoterush, it's hope the re opening the ports on the line grade to leave. ukraine will help ease global food prices, which have spiked in recent months. at the signing ceremony. mr. tara stress 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 to love stabilize global foot prices, which would already at record levels even before the war. a total nightmare for developing countries. a correspondence julia han in istanbul separate tale had been met with belief in many quarters. not just here in a simple but around the world. 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 hail did as 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. i 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 right now, as the war in ukraine rages on, i believe for many this is

a sign of hope. at least i was committed to walk in this deal earlier. well, the, the actual taxed 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 war to 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 going to be a coordination center to be set up here and it's tumble at this strategically very important. black location is staffed by representatives of russia, ukraine, and turkey. to oversee the brian exports and also to conduct inspections. all of these ships that with a specific russian demand,

that old ships cargo ships struggling 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 to 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 all their of the exports of their agricultural products and ukraine, as we all know, has accused russia in recent weeks of, you know, 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 of david david labord day is labord, is a senior fellow at the international food policy research institute. he gave me his reaction to this deal for good news because anything that kind of help roughly did can trade in tucker on the black sea. he's need to, you're pretty sure on the truck market. so it's a good news for fall in ukraine, and it's a 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, what is a big question? about timing because so on one hand, it's very important for ukraine to be about to exports in the coming month. we done you august coming and they need basically to,

we opened our market and not even bought a lot in the 2nd half of the year. also to a key, he's a big processor of grains coming from ukraine and russia. and so in terms of economic costs that very painful for their turkeys economy to, to maintain the current that you quote. and i would say, even russia, that due to the disturbance in the black sea is also being a price on its own export. and he's on access in terms of marketing, transportation for their own goods due to the level of uncertainty. so bringing back some normally in 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 basically taking all the software 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 d a 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 was a 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 so totally, a game changer about how russia we'd be on the ground and they may steal out ukrainian trial 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 i get get working before 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 that. so you, in 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, c p a day that can go in and out of your brain. you free, we want to get something that will be close to normal. but ok, thank you for joining us in the border from the international affinity policy research institute. when you kinds president vladimir and he says he's country's forces and now have the potential to turn the tide in the wall, thanks to the delivery of long range weapons from the west. when want to 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 east and sell the new crime, 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 that this textile 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 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 anti tank weapons and mortars. now we are teaching a boy so the can confidently work on the front line. what does it manada? what to russia all incoming help is a threat. and it's responding with more attacks. and chromatography separates ya. severe, don't ask. expanding the scope of war. asked nick conley in case for an update on the fighting and ukraine's east 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, 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 reason rather there in the next

couple of weeks. and in the south of ukraine planning that counter attack. but then we are 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 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 conway, in case we'll take a look now to more storage, making headlines around the world. violence is broken down between rival security forces in the libyan capital, tripoli, emergency services, at least one civilian was killed. libya has been split for years between rival administrations in the east and west, supported by various malicious and foreign governments. army officials in marley, se soldiers have repelled a terrorist attack at the main military base in cathy,

just outside the capitol by marco. where this is 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 15 to pounds. witnessing, growing opposition to plans to hold. i state funeral for former prime minister sions, or ave he was assassinated this month. and critics of argued against using public funds for the proposed service, saying that the public is divided over his legacy. a private service was held following his death italian samantha crystal ferretti has become the 1st european female asked, not to take a space walk as she was joined by russian cosmonaut russian cosmonaut, oleg tamya work on a new robotic arm of the international space station. the i assess is one of the last areas of cooperation between russia and the west. since moscow invaded ukraine,

a panel of us lawmakers as accused former president donald trump, of gross dereliction of duty for refusing to call off a mob of his supporters as a storm. the capital building investigators her testimony from top white house aides, who described mister trump's inaction for nearly 3 hours during the assault. on january the 6th last year, the committee also saw clips of the former president 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 what i've heard of donald trump rehearsing his video address to the nation a day after the attack on the capitol. but this election is now all congress as certified the results. i don't want to say elections or register mercy. his daughter, yvonne could trump can be heard off camera coaching her father congress. 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 the mob 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, the trump told him, the truth. it was his supporters attack in the capital, and he alone could get through to them kensington,

or 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. it 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 loved ones to say good bye. as the mob broken side, members of the bbt till in time a large we on the sy, 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 william banks is a professor of constitutional law at 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 of because the risk and subordinate whitehouse and the attorney general is going to make a judgement 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, 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 easier 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 vice president intent not care to who's 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 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's, it is a bicameral or not by carol. it's a 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 leadership chose not to. there are 2 republicans. it's certainly not

a kangaroo kangaroo court. the 2 republicans have been very vocal in their participation in what's remarkable to many of us here in the you asked about the committee work so far is what, what a fine job they've done, of creating a narrative. and if for no other reason, these hearings are created and narrative video, documentary 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 to the democratic republic of congo, which is home to the world's 2nd largest rain forest, which is in danger. every year the country loses half a 1000000 hectares of forests, partly because people are cutting trees down to bone to produce

a charco. but that could be a solution to the massive deforestation. my tongue, gay, a crowded neighborhood in contessa, the capital of d r. c. she ship up, we're friends, one of the cities, many street restaurants. she depends on chocolate, made from wood to pat food and water. she says she doesn't have a choice. but when michael michael is going on, you see, charcoal is really good because electricity isn't stable with it. and if there isn't any electricity at all, how can you cook? nearly 9 out of 10 people in d r c. lion, which i'll call firewood as a main fuel supply. kinshasa is one of africa's biggest cities. people he burned 3 more than $2000000.00 tons of charcoal each year. the ecological price of using so much cycle is enormous. this forest just outside of

kinshasa is part to the congo base in rain forest, who is the 2nd largest rain forest in the world. but trees here are been felled indiscriminately to feed the lucrative charco market. this is one potential, tentative to the mostly illegal felling. several farming communities here, a planting fast, growing acacia trees on the plateau, but i k. a vast savannah that stars just east of contresa. benjamin kanza is a deputy coordinator event. the project which is funded by the european union. the idea behind the project is to create a sustainable supply of wood to turn into charcoal icky developed lead with you. people practicing. i grow forestry are doing it in a sustainable way. de la, they themselves, plant the trees, operate their farms, and then cut the trees to create charcoal with their own trees. so if you see it as

a full cycle, you love a plant. they exploit, they replanting. cleanser is one of the $260.00 farmers now operating an acacia plantation as part of the project. once that katie, trees become mature, after around 8 years, they are cut down the feld occasions are covered over and then slowly bent to produce charcoal. then in place of the acacia corn n cassava, planted and harvested when the soil is infertile. enough for the food crops acacia is planted again. the non native trees help replenish the soil with nitrogen and the cycle of crop rotation begins again. the acacia plantations are a way of providing farmers with a source of income and preserving the to forest says kinda zealously, short was ruby of all is out of the solution is,

is if you leave the forest ecosystem in p. c, u d l. portia, we shall create these kinds of projects across the whole country here, and we will have solve the problem of deforestation. if be near problem, these are the forest us, you could using green a chalk or has it challenges then see or project needed millions of years and started funding and loads of scientific knowledge plus in a neighboring project. not all of the farmers wait 8 years for the trees to mature and sometimes cut the trees down earlier. back in can chatter. the market for charcoal is expected to keep booming as a city rapidly expands. but charco from prime forest isn't as bad for the rime. it is also bad for people to go. smoke from charco fires can cause serious illnesses like lung cancer and heart disease. that means in the longer term to protected

citizens. and as far as the congo needs invest in alternatives like hydroelectricity, or gas and australia, i'm the sydney opera house, one of the country's most famous landmarks. it's a unesco world heritage site and one of the world's most iconic buildings but looks aren't everything for decades. musicians and music critics have been complaining about the buildings, poor acoustics. now the concert hall has reopened, with a whole new south. its roof has been compared to sales or even shark fins. the sydney opera houses unique design, attract visitors from around the world. but for musicians like concert master andrew have run the acoustics have been well frustrating. we were basically shouting for the last 40 years, all too often, the experience has fallen short of expectations and unmet expectations are really not something that we want at the opera house. 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 bought 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 whilst going. keith have signed the deal to resume grain shipments out of you, cried the agreement allows for the safe passage of ships through the black se you're and secretary general. antonia gutierrez, i hailed it as
