farmers say it's impossible to grow crops. and italy gets its 1st woman prime minister and 1st fall right leader since world war 2 by george maloney names a coalition cabinet including more monitor administer. ah, i'm nicole relish welcome to the show. lawmakers have ordered donald trump to give evidence to add the inquiry into the january 6 attack on the us capital. the congressional committee has told trump to handle the documents and testify under oath next month. it says there is overwhelming evidence that the former president personally orchestrated the efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election hours earlier. trump one time chief strategist, steve bannon was sentenced to 4 months in jail for refusing to cooperate with that
11:02 pm
same committee. their judgment, i asked our corresponding colina to more about the subpoena on was turned out to be quite a day in washington. well, quite a day in washington, and he called it in a deed. and this is important that is important to point out that this is very important for the committee, investigating the general 6 attack on the capitol because they are running out of time in less than 3 weeks. the midterm elections are taking place in this country, and that will probably change the majority of the house of representatives, meaning that the republicans might then be in power. and there, of course, going to dismiss the select committee, investigating the general u. 6 attack on the capital because many of them say that this is a political hand after donald trump. so the committee is trying to get things done here as fast and as soon as possible, as we can see. and for them, it's really a race against time. but the big question right now is,
11:03 pm
is trump actually going to testify? how likely do you think he is to cooperate? he still hasa different options. actually 3 options they call donald trump. the 1st one is that he can comply the subpoena meaning to he would cooperate with the committee testify and give them to documents they're asking for. but this is not very likely to happen because, as you said, and as we know, the committee has assembled overwhelming evidence, including from former staff members and donald trump would be confronted with this evidence in that hearing. so that tested a testimony. so, lying been there and, and not telling the truth under oath would of course then be his only possibility and answering to testimony. and this could be even worse for him. the 2nd option is that his legal team can try to negotiate with the committee, meaning that they could submit some of the documents,
11:04 pm
but not all of them. and they will, of course, try to keep him out of that, of testifying in front of the committee. and the 3rd option is that donald trump could refuse and say he is not going to testify, and he's not going to submit any kind of documents to the committee in the house. all of this, of course, on the same day, one of trump's closest allies, steve bannon, has been sentenced to 4 months and joe, for precisely failing to cooperate with the same committee, but of a signal there may be towards the former president, what do you make of this exactly any callback is the 1st person to be incarcerated for contempt of congress in more than half a century. so this sends a very important and a very clear message for others involved in this form of the capital honorary 6. and it sets a sets also a clear standard for future cases, referred to the justice department by the committee investigating the capital attack. and again, a very clear sign and a message to others. what exactly does this mean now for the work and the
11:05 pm
credibility may be 2 of the january 6 committee we shall clearly see that the committee is far more than just a special committee on the attack on the capital and generally seeks. they have the power indeed to refer specific cases to the justice department and this cases and the accused people there might indeed as we have seen today, and i've been in jail. and so that is, i think, the very clear message that we can learn from, from today to w corresponding colina tomorrow in washington. thanks currently. 3rd is a nigeria or a warning of the looming hunger crisis. the worst flooding for a decade has killed at least 600 people and left more than a 1000000 homeless. even before the floods head, the government was battling high inflation and food shortages and the un warren of catastrophic levels of hunger. this is what the rainy season
