Coming up in the next 60 minutes. Security forces and sri lanka had descended on an Anti Government protest camp in the capital for him to tweet out the message about mike pence. It was him foreign gasoline on the fire and making it much worse. The u. S. Congressional committee here is from Donald Trumps, former aides. You say the president refused to call off the mob that stormed capitol hill, hopes a high for a deal that would restart green exports. And the ukranian port of odessa in beirut, intense heat sets of fires at the sight of the 2020 explosion that devastated the city. And in thought, american no eliles retains as 200 meters well title with the 3rd fastest time in history. Ah, well we begin in sri lanka, where security voices have raided the main Anti Government protest camp and colombo, just hours after ronald become a singer, was sworn in as president protest to say they had planned to vacate that area by friday afternoon. The big room singer has threatened to crack down on what he calls the undemocratic demonstrators who toppled his predecessor shortly after that protest site was cleared danish, gwyn, or what donnie was sworn in as sri lanka, new Prime Minister. And he is an ally of former president got to buy a roger boxer. The rest of the cabinet is expected to be sworn in laser on friday. Well, lets bring in step batson. She is in colombo and she joins us now at step. Can you tell us a little more . What do we know about this new Prime Minister . Ah, well, the Prime Minister is a very close ally off the precedent, omni low, become a senior. He went to school with him. So there been a Close Friends for a very long time. He was also in the Ruling Coalition for these past few years, hes gone is seen as also someone whos been supporting the right or fox or so. Its definitely not to change that protests. Us have been asking for demanding for months because of this very crippling economic crisis, sri lanka is dealing with a blamed hatchet boxer family for putting them into all this misery. And now with the new Prime Minister, they dont see any change, especially not with the new president , daniel become a single, was appointed by a go to buy it back to as his Prime Minister just a couple of months ago. Say they dont see any change. They have been very upset, very angry about these apartments and what weve seen and heard about the new cabinet. Its completely the same. The only change is the Prime Minister, but all the ministers are still the same faces. Nothing you become a singer had promised to bring in like a National Unity government to solve the problems to gather. But at that hasnt materialized, at least not until now and step now that their protest camp has been strong. Do we have a sense of what the protesters are planning next . Well, theyre very angry. I since this morning of garza at 2 am in the middle of the night larch, matilda military and Police Presence came here to decide it was. They were basically rating with violence. The last proto site that these protests were still holding. It was their president ial secretariat. They were there for the last 12 days. They were rallying did a Health Speech is all very peaceful, but and this forest came in, protest were beaten lawyers were beaten journalists for beads, and people have been detained as well. And since this morning weve seen this crowd here gathering. Now its a small crowd, but they have continuously been shouting at police saying that they should allow so protest us to gather this. Also International Outcry about is sir tracked down from the United States ambassador, the High Commission out of from written amnesty international. They all call on the government to allow Peaceful Protesters to gather. Of course, the, one of the things that 3 lanka really needs at the moment is political stability. And they want a bailout package from the i am after basically forced to do this because of their bankruptcy. But many are questioning how this violence here will go down internationally and how this will will lead to possibly political stability. So theres a lot of concern about the weeks and months to come, steadfast and therefore us in colombo, thanks so much step. Well, the u. S. How select committee has heard how form the President Donald Trump sat and watched the january 6th riots unfolding on capitol hill for 2 and a half hours before taking action to form a white house staff as have given evidence, suggesting that trans initially dismissed calls to try to deescalate the situation, she had returned the reports. The committees focus was the 187 minutes between donald trump finishing his white house speech to the followers he summoned on january the 6th. Out of the ventral video message cooling on the writers to go home after they reached a capital and more evidence is presented, the trump wanted to join the protest. And let me go into a heated argument with secret Service Agents who refused to take him. But now we got a suggestion about why they refused for security official who chose to remain anonymous. I dont know if you want to use the word insurrection, qu whatever. We all knew that this would move from a normal democratic public event into something else. Having been rebuffed, trump retired to the white house dining room where he remained for over 2 and a half hours. The cool logs are blank for that time and the official white house photographer was prevented from entry. But fox news was displaying the unfolding chaos. A few kilometers away, witnesses, se trump made no effort to intervene during that time, but was well aware of what was unfolding. Are you aware of any phone call by the president of the United States to the secretary of defense that day . Where are you aware of any phone call by the president United States to the attorney general of the United States that day . No, you have any phone call by the president of the United States, the secretary of Homeland Security that day. Im not aware of that. Those in the white house growing more alarmed, desperate to get the president to do something. So with trump, children, his closest allies, the Republican Leadership in congress, even fox news hosts, but to no avail. On capitol hill, members of the Vice President security detail say they were terrified members of the b p detail at this time, were starting to peer for their own lives. But instead from twitch is an attack against like pants that inflamed the crowd further, it looked like fuel being poured on the fire. Donald trumps daughter, vanka, managed to get her father to agree to cool and support his quotes to stay peaceful, but only after protracted negotiations. Me that the president did not want to include any sort of mention of peace in that tweet by the pending committee. Argue that only when it was clear that any attempt to stop the votes, edification would fail, and the National Guard was on its way, did donald trump speak . But even then, he refused to use the prepared statement. It was a land slide election and everyone knows it, especially the other side. But you have to go home now. We have to have peace. Sure, i cant see it for the next day of the address. The nation probably still would not conceive, but this election is now all congress has certified the results. I dont want to say the elections. I just want to say congress has certified the results without saying the elections over. Okay. The committees argument is that trump broke the oath of office by not acting on january the 6th, but it just failed to act. He chose not to act. Im the committee will hold more hearings in september to make the argument that trump isnt fit to ever hold office again. She advertise the al jazeera washington bruce fine as a former us associate Deputy Attorney general and also a constitutional lawyer. He says form of Vice President mike pence needs to appear before that committee to explain Donald Trumps directions on january 6. Even the statements that trump issued that were ambiguous, in the sense that on one hand, he says you should be peaceful, but we love you and your patriot is that way he never ever consider doing was saying President Biden won the election according to our processes. Never, hes won, therell be a peaceful transition. And unfortunately, you know, you have violated the law and our appointed special task force that the Justice Department youre going to be prosecuted and go to jail and dont think youre going to get pardons just what someone would be saying when they have an obligation to faithfully execute the laws you want and the violation for so flagrant that everybody in the white house except for him could see the criminal al with that was going on. And it is, it seems to me a very important at some point that the committee forgetting the actual words of president trump, when he was told repeatedly, you have to do something, you got blood on your hand. This is really terrible. I remember in the nixon impeachment it was very important when john d testified about raise money to pay off the water in the burglar. Then he would say the nixon that, oh yeah, well, we could do it, but that would be wrong. And you know, that would be wrong. There was a famous free that would use Woodward Burge the in, in watergate because it did add a very personal dimension, giving you insight into the state of mind the president. And thats why i think the committee is going to be darrell. It talks about dereliction of duty. If they do not insist on getting mister pens, his testimony and having mister chip alone back in others and tell me you need to tell us. What did the president tell you . You have no privilege your duty as a government lawyers to the constitution. This is not, not to germany or you take an oath to dare pure you take no st up all the constitution of the United States. What will needed in my judgment, if you want to say the smoking gun will be direct testimony from mister pen, stating this is what the president was doing to me harassing me. He use these curse words. He said, i dont care x y z. That will gravitate all eyes in the whole nation, that in my judgement could be sufficient to push this into credit accused by the Justice Department. Or meanwhile, u. S.

Another. Another detail is the inspections of the ship. As russia is concerned, that wars might be brought through these ships to ukraine and ukraine is concerned about the safety of its wanes delivery to the World Markets. Also, the inspection is very important. And in terms of the safe massage as a, as we all know, 3 ukraine had 3 ports or trade, and 2 of them are already under russian control. Know the support is on the refraining from florida and the shores of all the support are already mine. Weve been hearing that the, the shoes of odessa a port will not be d mind as if it will require a lot of time to complete that the mining operation. Thats why there will be some a say for saw just for the vessels afraid and agreeing of the grades and fertilizers, and to the turkish court. Of course, the seal is important in another way, as you know, alone with ukraine. Russia is also one of the worlds biggest grains supplier, its grades even though they are not under sanctions, can not switch to the World Markets because of the other factors that are sanctioned, like the banking system, the system thats my cell will pay the way for the russian for them for why the market as important as it will be a very success for every United Nations landmark success actually, especially after the ukrainian war broke out at the beginning of this year.
