of them visions of inequality 75 years ago, mahatma gandhi peacefully led the country to independence. what has remained of his vision? where does the world so called the largest democracy sand? where is india headed in? this is the moment to unleash a non violent bias. gandhi's legacy start august 6th on b, w. it's a beacon of hope for millions around the world, russia and ukraine has signed landmark deals to allow green exports from black c ports that have been blockaded for months. as expected, the agreement didn't come easy, but it's an important diplomatic victory and a brutal war that has produced nothing but bloodshed and destruction with the
10:31 pm
world's bread basket back in business hopes are the global food crisis is caused by the war can be eased. but there is little faith in russia fulfilling its side of the bargain nichol really, him, berlin, and this is the day. ah, today there is a beep on the black sea, a beacon of hope. ah, and we are proud to be instrumental part of this initiative to solve the global food crisis up to lou. yes, you have overcome obstacles and could have started differences noon. this no matter which way the developments in the field take, the war will eventually end at the negotiating table. and as i left that guy in the way towards using human suffering and securing peace.
10:32 pm
ah, also coming out, the january face committee lays out more damning evidence on donald trump's inaction during the u. s. capital ryan, their conclusion, he didn't fail to stop the violence. he chose not to stop it, but will the investigation lead to concrete charges against the former president? donald trump made a purposeful choice to violate his oath of office, to ignore the ongoing violence against law enforcement to threaten our constitutional order. ah, to our viewers around the world, it's good to have you with us. it's the breakthrough. the world has been waiting for over 20000000 tons of grain had been feared to go to waste ukrainian ports and silos, posing an unprecedented threat to global food security to night. after months of
10:33 pm
russian blockades, a deal is in place to resume great shipments through the black sea representatives from both sides. attend that the fun ceremony. and if stumble along with turkish president, ridge of type are due on, and us secretary general and tony a good terrorist that's helped reopening the ports and allowing grain to leave ukraine will help ease global food prices, which have spiked in recent months. quoterush hailed the deal as one of the most important accomplishments of his career and let there be no doubt. these is an agreement for the wolves. it will bring relief for developing countries on the edge of bankruptcy and the most vulnerable people on the edge of famine and tulips fabulous global foot prices, which would already record levels even before the war at nightmare for developing countries. specifically, the initiative we just signed opens up best for significant volumes of commercial
10:34 pm
food export from city ukrainian port in the black sea or their ship on or 6, and use me the ship, the grain and food stocks in the world. markets will help bridge the global food supply get and reduce pressure on prices to w, harness and covering the signing of this landmark deal, where it happened in a stumble and she has more on the details in the agreement. we do know that the plan provides for ukrainian vessels to as caught off guard cargo ships through mind war to so the waters will not be specifically de mind. at wire the black sea out of ukrainian territorial waters to with 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 in istanbul at this. strategically very important lexi location is staffed by representatives of russia, ukraine,
10:35 pm
and turkey to oversee the grain 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 of military equipment on board, but ukraine said they wanted that to take place in turkish water. so we're assuming right now that's exactly how it's gonna look like. well, the export deal is welcome news for many countries in africa who heavily depend on ukrainian grain, but it wasn't all cheers. south african presidents or a rama. posada said the agreement had taken far too long and the entire continent needed to reassess its options. i will continue the reliance on massive amounts of grades from that theater of the world. the color of the world should be seen as at risk and
10:36 pm
a real danger to african countries. 1.3000000 people. we therefore need to use this conflict as their wake up co and this deal as huge global repercussions with ukraine being. as dorian already said, one of the world's main bread baskets and about that i want to talk now with caitlin. well, she's the director of the global food security program at the center for strategic and international studies. a think tank based in washington dc. miss, well, so welcome to d. w. can we start with your reaction to the news of this deal? certainly i think that this is very positive news coming out of turkey today is the very important 1st and foremost for the export of greens that we're stuck in ukraine from last year's harvest, which is between 16 and 20000000 metric tons of grains, which we expect to be able to be exported over the next 3 or 4 months, which will be able to address the important needs of, of net food importing countries in the, in the region. there was
10:37 pm
a lot of back and forth in the lead up to this. what do you think made the agreement possible now? and that's a great question, probably a combination of factors. i think that that number one, raising awareness of the implications of restrictions on exports from the black sea implications being increased food insecurity around the world. and particularly in countries that rely on imports from the black sea being countries in asia, north africa, middle east, and across east africa and the rest of africa. i think awareness of the implications for food security there and, and a 1st and foremost, that's the reason. there are already reports. now our is after this deal was signed of we price is falling as a result of the agreement. this tendency holds is the food emergency averted for now. i expect prices to continue to follow up. global food prices did
10:38 pm
spike in february of this year. and then again in march of this year, we reach to historic highs. after that, food prices started to level off and they've been, they've been falling incrementally since then. at the same time, global serial prices remain about 50 percent higher than where they were about this time last year. so it's your prices are still incredibly elevated despite the fact that despite the fact that overall prices are starting to level of a level off, i do expect that serial prices will start to, to fall even more as a result of this deal. i do know though that this deal has a time frame of $180.00 days, and i think that the extent to which prices will likely fall depends on whether or not this deal is extended beyond these initial 10120 days. where is ukrainian grain most urgently needed? the countries that rely on ukraine and, and on russia, on the black sea for their imports are countries that are generally in the geographic vicinity. so those are countries, again, in asia, middle east,
10:39 pm
north africa, and across africa. countries that are heavily relied on imports and the consumer a large amount of wheat or countries that are most in need of ukraine's grain, particularly the horn of africa right now that has experienced a repeated droughts and where food insecurity levels are extremely high on their high levels of acute food insecurity and many people in the brink of famine, also in other countries such as yemen relies incredibly is very relying on the black sea for their imports. so a country like yemen as well. countries like this might expect us to experience some relief because of this deal. do you trust russia to stick to their commitments under the deal? i think that time will tell we have seen russia make certain commitments through the length of this war thus far. i think a difference could be that this is a, a deal. it was a brokered by multiple parties that was signed today by russia and ukraine. of
10:40 pm
course, with the you and in turkey also being being part of these negotiations. i think that the, the, the very specific nature of stipulations under this agreement, i give hope that russia might follow through a more more so than we saw with other commitments. it's made through the length of the war. all right, there is cause for hope says caitlin welsh of the center for strategic and international studies. thank you so much. thank you for having me. ah, this is not as it may appear. a story of inaction in a time of crisis. he thought, for 100, maybe 7 minutes on january 6, this man of unbridled destructive energy could not be moved from the comfort of his dining room. he watched on t v as the attack escalated her, his refusal to act and call off the mob that day,
10:41 pm
and his refusal to condemn the violence was indefensible. and on january 6, donald trump turned their love of country into a weapon against our capital. and our constitution, my only goal was to ensure the integrity of the vote. there is plenty more where that came from last night. as the january 6 committee slammed donald trump at length for refusing to call, a rider storming the u. s. capital last year, a series of white house officials described the over 3 hours. the president watched the insurrection on fox news and did nothing to stop it. while trump was also watching tv last night and not happy about what he saw, he lashed out at the committee, calling it a kangaroo court. 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 rehearsing his
10:42 pm
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 just wanna say his daughter, yvonne could trump can be heard off camera coaching her father congress. now yeah. to get her lawyers, 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,
10:43 pm
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. 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 loved ones to say good bye. as the mob broken side
10:44 pm
with 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. so more hearing set for september, but with all the evidence presented so far, how much legal trouble is donald trump potentially in here is lawrence try a leading constitutional lawyer speaking to d. w. earlier today. he incited an insurrection. he was guilty, it appears from all of the evidence of conspiring to overturn the election. 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 and siding and insurrection, and giving aid to an insurrection, results in permanent disqualification from ever holding public office in the united
10:45 pm
states. and in related news, a washington court has found former trump advisor and strategist, steve been in guilty of contempt of congress. the jury only needed 3 hours to convict bannon for refusing to provide testimony or documents to the january 6th committee. as defense team insisted that the case was politically motivated, the prosecutions at banum showed disdain for the authority of congress, and needed to be held accountable and could face between 2 months and 2 years behind bars. i want to thank the jury for the with the judge quickly. the quarter been free from here and let's keep talking about this with clar cunningham. he's a professor of law at georgia state university, mr. cunningham. good to see you. we just heard the. * long list of potential crimes, and there could be more how damning is the evidence presented by the committee.
10:46 pm
well, i think the possibility of an indictment against former president trump increases pretty much every week goes far. did you see anything in particular? and yesterday's hearing that would strengthen a case against him. well, i think that what's making the likelihood of diving either by the federal department of justice or by the grand jury here in atlanta, georgia. those are 2 parallel criminal investigations that are going on right now. is it because in many ways in many ways the january 6th committee has helped put together a more complete story of a scheme to overturn the result of the election that has lots of different pieces to it. i think that the department of justice started started with one piece of the
10:47 pm
puzzle which was the riot. on january 6, the georgia grand jury started with another piece of the puzzle, which was the phone call that the president trump made to the top election official here in georgia. where he asked for have a just enough folks to carry georgia. but what's happening is both of those 2 investigations are sort of converging on something that i think they both have in common, which is what seems to be the most clearly criminal act, which is what's called the fake elector scheme where the meetings were held and 7 swing states organized by the trump campaign, and trump, lawyers, and allies to have people be and thought fake certificates as if they had actually been elect been chosen as the electors in those states. even though the votes have been certified. and those fake certificates then became the predicate for the
10:48 pm
attempted to disrupt the election on january 6. so it all kind of fits together. yeah. now with the interaction in particular, the justice department has been getting a lot of criticism, especially attorney general merrick garland accused of sluggishness and the prosecution of the riot will get right back to you, mr. cunningham. but let's 1st listen to some of what garland said earlier this week . this is the most wide ranging investigation and the most important investigation that the justice department has ever any luck. no person is a law and nothing stop. so i don't know how we will say that again. no person along this country, i can't say any more clearly than that in clark cunningham is still with us. the attorney general, they're very tight lips, but clearly hinting at something bigger in the making. how justified is the criticism he's getting i think it's probably not well justified. there. garland is
10:49 pm
appropriately being very circumspect in terms of talking about what's going on with the grand jury investigation at the federal level. but in fact, we know that they take and to really fairly bold steps of the department of justice got search warrants against a president. trump's lawyer, john eastman, they the f. b. i seized him as he was leaving an apartment in new mexico grabbed his fault and i'm sure they're downloading and examining the files on that phone. and then they went after jeffrey clark at dawn, routed him out of his house in his pajamas and search the whole house and seized all his electronic devices. those are pretty full loops. and it also, in order to get those search warrants, the federal government had to persuade a federal judge that there would be evidence of crime the probable cause that there would be evidence of crime discovery through them searches. so to be that suggests that the department of justice is moving more aggressively than it sometimes supposed. let's get back to the committee because it did bring together lots of
10:50 pm
information, lots hours of testimony, many puzzle pieces, as you already said. but there is still something missing, right? it's still not all that easy to build a case against donald trump on what has been collected by the january 6 committee. is that well, i think maybe it is on the it probably the most important possible charge. but i think the kit, the committee is getting there. ah, is the federal crime called seditious conspiracy? and they've already can convicted a number of the writers on january 6th of seditious conspiracy. some of applied guilty. and that crime is, if 2 or more people conspire to a post, a 2 by fours preventing hinder or delay the execution of any law the united states, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the united states,
10:51 pm
or that shall be imprisoned for not more than 20 years. what perfectly describes what happened on january 6th. that it's a case of donald crohn consigned donald trump though on, on that charge on that possible charge. well, central john, california has already found that it's likely that john eastman and donald trump together, conspired to obstruct the execution of the of the election law and the vote on january 6th. we already have a federal judge, and in fact it's pretty obvious that that was the intent of a former president. trump was to prevent the vote from being certified on january 6th. and it almost succeeded because there was for supply. so the january 6 committee, every time they present new evidence, there's more and more the time for president trump to into that conspiracy not to overthrow the government, but to prevent the vote either 1st of all, to put pressure on vice president pans. and when that failed to then interrupt,
10:52 pm
and let me point out, they very came very close to succeeding because if the secret service had taken pants away from the capital as they plan to do that would have halted the county because they need the vice president. they're all prevented that is pants refuse to get into the secret service vehicle? so the plan came very close to 60 and in that respect, just very quickly, before we let you go, do you think we'll ever see donald trump test to find out ok. i don't think we'll see it until he's until there's a trial either federal trial or trial in georgia. and then we'll see if he takes the 5th or if he testifies i wrote, i think he's allergic to testify under oath e certainly wants to avoid doing that. but i think it's possible, i think it may happen in georgia before it happens at the federal level class cunningham of georgia state university. thank you so much for those incites. glad
10:53 pm
to talk with you. ah, europe's not just experiencing record heat the summer. it's also seeing a massive rise in corona virus cases, which in previous years fell in the warmer months. the world health organization says cases have tripled across the continent since june. that's out half of all global infections, but there is also good news. the rate of cases that end up in intensive care has remained low. many countries have loosened restrictions, but the w h o says super infectious very and should make people more careful and worn. that repeat infections could lead to long cove it. la german health minister coll, out above, is currently in washington to discuss strategies to combat the virus. and he spoke to our very own guardian that you might see how you've also met with dr. found chief, the most important adviser to president biden during the pandemic. and your talks focused on your vaccination strategies for the fall season. you want to keep pace
10:54 pm
with the united states. what would be the ideal strategy, and do you agree with dr. faulty on this point as in the least i, i like met dr. how, which is been me, i wanted talk to if i'm in agreement with dr. fowl, j haven. what's very important is that we don't wait until we have more vaccine the av and yet on the growth in rather we already have a gap and vaccinations among older people. the one that germany we have around a 100 preventable deaths every day if we had vaccinated, more and used medication will widely given a number of those deaths would have been avoidable as ours. and the u. s. the situation is similar. yana, so we both agree. it's important right now, even before new vaccines arrive, i am to use the vaccines we already have in order to prevent those deaths of these or no difference to have a feller from eden van glenn. or the one was that is and we have to look toward the future. if we want to be able to prevent coming. panda max, do you have a strategy for this? are we prepared for the next pandemic for provide said sean hood, he makes upon to me from your 2nd, saw it going to be at this point in time. we wouldn't be well prepared for the next
10:55 pm
pan, and i can also, we would detect an outbreak relatively late set and we would have no good method unable no good security measures in place. that would, that would help control the outbreak and prevent it from becoming a pandemic heavenward. and then all spoke social net. so currently on those as, as gone. these upon the me, kamer. i spoke about this quite a bit with us health secretary beserra. but also with tony foul g and the world bank, but on the phone biden, about, we need a system that will allow us to react very rapidly to pandemic when they arise via schnell, off when we discussed the so called pack for pandemic readiness. within the g 7 recommendation is as though they're good even for i've been promoting it yet. and i believe that we can depend on the support of the american economy of african m these i national speaking at the support of americans, there will be elections here very soon. the mid term could that influence cooperation over security strategy? feel gov at us? the corporate,
10:56 pm
so i believe the cooperation will remain in place as well. the elections are of course, a challenge for the ministration. but we're committed to continuing our cooperation . and we also know pretty well in which areas this cooperation has to happen even in order to make progress. and we firmly agreed on this ottawa elections. won't push this back or bring it into doubt, tang, and order in for laying out playing. they is almost done, but the conversation as always continues online. you'll find us on twitter in there under amaskita li news, or you can follow me. nicole underscore friendly for me and the entire team at the day. thank you so much for spending part of starting with us. ah ah ah
