This is al jazeera ah hello, im lauren taylor. This is the audi 0 news. I live from london coming up. Iraqs parliament is occupied by hundreds of supporters of sheer care. It look, tedra cetera, opposing the appointment of a new Prime Minister, ukraines high risk harvest inside the operation to secure the countrys wheat feels and safeguards supplies for the world. The u. S. As its ready to make a substantial offer to secure the release of Brittany Griner and pull wheelin for both detained in russia and firefighters in greece, battle to contain 3 major wildfires. Really one on the tourist island of less boss. About peace assembling dough with his sport. Germany book a date with england been the final of the womens european championship. And at the womens, through the fronds, this spanish rider was lucky to escape injury of being hit by our own team car. Ah, under the protest, as you stormed Iraqs Parliament have now withdrawn after hours of occupying the building, the supporters of sheer cleric and politician tedra sutter were demonstrating against the nomination of mohammed, sheer as to dani for the position of Prime Minister. I hope to find the Parliament Building in bagdad screens in for hours with little resistance and security forces. I saw this as he wont accept any bid files to donnie to form a new government. Last month for the 70 members of parliament affiliated with a resigned on his orders, deepening months of political dead law culture. Last years elections. Parents have no hannon but they may go to fountain with voted the sacrifice for many years in oscar reforms and change of regime. What the most important thing is, change of regime in the current regime useless there is carrying. There is bloodshed in the same places are coming back so the country will not work when it would go. Johnson, i protested, 1st armed iraqs high security green zone. The political heart of a city a to reach the Parliament Building. Its a 10 kilometer fortified zone that holds the headquarters of several Iraqi Government offices and also houses. Many of the foreign embassies in the city share the democratic tweeted about the protest describing it as a revolution of reform and rejection of corruption. He said the message has been delivered. You have terrified the corruption power. Go home in peace. My head is falling developments in baghdad. The protest whos, whos told me theyre headquartered of the council of representatives have was drawn. That is following a command from the leader, the influential shia cleric and political leader looked to the southern who asked his supporters to withdrawal. He also addressing his supporters of southern, mentioned that at their message has been conveyed the message that in his words, that his supporters have terrified the corrupt politicians in power. As you know that this is following the eb episode of the leaked voice recordings attributed to former Prime Minister, naughty and malady. A prominent adversity of shack lyrica looked at the a. So now theyre protested as have been a staging their demonstrations inside. Theyre heavily fortified. Green zone, prompting a tens of a heavy or security presence in, in, in, in the area. Now up the doctor, the southern has been calling on his support and to keep it calm and peaceful. And a statement from the caretaker Prime Minister, most of our academy are also reiterated that the protestors shall maintain and keep their private and a public facility. Is it safe . Now this comes after the mass congregation friday praises that was performed by a look to the so the supporters, 2 weeks ago, massey nashville are, is a research fellow. They have at kennedy schools, middle east initiative. She joins us from baghdad. Thanks so much for being with us. So what do you think the effect will be of, of the storming of parliament . This isnt the 1st time that parliament has been started by this address. So i think the popular effect of it will wear off quickly in terms of the shock that has caused the population. I do think its purpose was just to show the political ally that voted us other as able to mobilize protests and to be able to signal to them that he still has a voice in what happens politically and in government permission. And there are even though. Busy he withdrew his 73 parliamentarians a few weeks ago from parliament. It was they seem to get into the green zone and the parliament relatively easily, didnt they . There wasnt much resistance to, to the entering. And i think one of the reasons that happened is no one wants to risk escalating into violence. A lot of groups in iraq are armed and any violence against a group associated with the particular party or movement risks, creating generally civil war in the country. So i think people are very wary of when, when any violence occurs of the country. But i also think that because we had seen this kind of behavior before. And were also during a phase of government formation, rather than there being a government with clear positions and duties assigned to everyone was a bit difficult to mobilize and respond to this. And what is that new direction was to than the nominee mom dos who danny . What, what, what are the professors not like about that nomination . In particular, to be honest, this is really more of a facade that objection there that looked at the thunder with his parliamentarians. A few weeks ago and the purpose of that was, he decided that he didnt want to the path of reform from within government. And he would prefer revolution. He was waiting for any excuse to be able to go out into the street and to showcase his power. So he rejected the 1st Prime Minister candidate that was suggested by his opponents. And i think this is really the issue isnt with the candidate himself as much as it was the 1st opportunity for the letter to voice his pleasure in terms of the kind of political paralysis. There isnt in iraq. Where do you see this going and how difficult does it make to actually run the country . Is it to run the country and this kind of context, you know, in, on august 10th, itll be 10 months since weve had the lexan. And this is a longest government permission process. We have seen it is really difficult to. Busy pick up the recoverable neurons and this time its been more difficult than before. You know, one thing i will say that is not exactly positive but doesnt make things seem as bad as they are. Is that brock has seen this guy, doug protest before. It has seen this kind of usage of non traditional political means in order to reach certain and by political leaders. So i think we can expect government to be formed. I dont think the address will prove to be these people either to the point of making the state class, but our government permission process is probably going to be prolonged for a month or 2 at least. And you mentioned the fact that people perhaps didnt stop them because they didnt want this to turn into a sort of, you know, a violent confrontation. What kind of risks are the escalates beyond the kind of political anees and these kind of demonstrations to something with his physical. Theres always this risk in her all because every one is armed, not just, you know, paramilitary groups and, and different armed actors. But also just regular people are armed and theres a lot of tension between different groups. So the risk is always high. But i think the key, what keeps the country going is that there is this unspoken consensus among political elite, that it is better for them to divide spoils among themselves in a functioning system or somebody functioning system than to lose control. Busy or the state because any civil war in iraq wont have a clear winner, it will drag on for a very long time. Massena shamary, thank you very much indeed for to do. Thank you. Bill coming up on our 0 news on beers of recession continue to mount the u. S. Federal reserve raises Interest Rates for the 2nd consecutive month. Like a lever off. Its ethiopia. Why the west needs to be wary of russias growing interest in africa. And his sport nfl legend tom brady stepped out for an incredible 23rd pre season training camp. Ah, you suggested antony blink and says a substantial offer will be made to secure the release of basketball. A. Brittany greiner and former us marine pull whelan, who are both detained in russia and speak to his russian counterparts. Aguilar off in the coming days. Ok. The highest level talks between the countries since the ukraine war started risen issue thats a top priority for us. Release americans, all wheel and, and really grier want me to time and must be allowed to come all a substantial proposal on the table weeks ago. So take the release. Our governments are communicated repeatedly and directly on that proposal. Just a conversation to follow up personally, and i hope lucas or a resolution . I think ill hang georges life in washington dc. It patty, how unusual is it for them to be talking about Something Like this before . Theyve apparently had the kind of the final conversation. Well it, you can definitely see it as a sign that they are perhaps getting close to some sort of deal. And weve really been seeing these signs for weeks now. Pretty greiner. Pled guilty and earlier in july to bringing to vague cartridges with hash oil in, in her suitcase she said she was in a hurry, she didnt mean to put them in there. So she pled guilty. One reason we thought that maybe she was doing that is cuz russian officials had said they couldnt even consider a prisoner swap until her case was resolved. And now shes already entered the sentencing phase. She was in court on wednesday, as she pleaded for leniency. Says she wasnt taught, told her rights when she was arrested. And again, when you see the secretary of state entity blinking, come out, that is a very clear indication that they believe their york going to be have some success, some success. They dont usually put cabinet level secretaries out in public announcing that this substantial offer has been made and said that he was going to speak to his counterpart, Russian Foreign minister survey, live, or of in the coming days. Something he said he hasnt done since the of the war in ukraine. So those are all indications that they think that theyre getting close. One thing that they wouldnt speculate on who this prisoner swap might be with, but we know the russians of insane for years they want to victor bout back. His nickname in the u. S. Is the merchant of death. He was convicted of selling weapons to people who had clear aims to kill americans. Hes about halfway through his 25 year sentence. So the justice department, the people who put these people in prison tend to object to these sorts of swaps. But in the end, secretary of lincoln made clear that President Joe Biden has been informed of this have has agreed to this. And so now the mechanics of trying to get it done with these incredibly high level talks patchy calhane. Thank you very much. Indeed. Other hopes, millions of tons of grain blocked in ukrainian ports will soon reach the world market. What do you think of a joint Coordination Center and stumble as part of a landmark deal signed by kiva moscow last week, allowing grain exports to resume . Russia has been blocking maritime access to ukraines black seaport, meaning millions of tons of grain have not been exported to the countries that rely upon it. The deal broke by the un and turkey established a joint coordination and control center in the stumble. To show you a grain shipments ukraine and russia beach appointed a lead coordinator, but the un war chain overall control with exports. Hope to be resuming this week. Join a mosque port should be reopened 1st, followed by the ports of a desk and p. Danny, allow me of many of the worlds countries rely on grains from russia and ukraine, especially those in africa. More than 25000000 tons of grain or lying in ukraine seaports. Its important to send the ships off at the earliest and to provide safe passage for the ships carrying the grains. The Speedy Delivery of the grains is critical. But what gives the its practical work and not only preparatory, all specially this civilians and military involved in this processing. I hope will get the green light from these in the coming days with soon as we do 1st ship, ukrainian grey will be on its way or the destination port immediately to one you should consider is in a stumble. And as more on the opening of the export coordination office, the exports of more than 25000000 tons of ukrainian grants is going to be monitored from the corporate and assemble. It is called the joint control and command center. There will be 20 representatives working in the office from now one for 120 thing from the Representative Ministry offices in the hands are presenting your way, wash off the turkey and the united nation. They will do registering the best. So before they leave, they bring in ports to carry grades to the international markets, and they will be monitored technically via internet and other combat means. On the 14th, we own a matter that was received and continue to deliver both the claimant and washing went to the world market. And from this headquarters of thought is going to be able to put prices in family and potential irregular migration. Same, its around the country for the deal only. So as part of the problem, getting food from farm to table was still a dangerous job. John 100 reports from the village of trust me in a wheat field, north of keep a de mining experts sweeps for the weapons of war. The mind detector finds remnants of a cluster bomb. It slow going with these workers need to clear a path before forming combines can reap the wheat from a war time harvest there among a 1000 de mining experts across ukraine, racing to avert a global food shortage of our last se. Hi me. We have found a fragment of class emission and a grin aid from an r p g 7, which is an exploded when the war began. This farm was attacked by russian aircraft artillery and cluster bombs. Workers had to replace tractors, trucks in barnes before they could bring in the harvest. Youll never isnt idea of stella. You can see theyre burned and destroyed by selling dealer and jones. Medium g as good. As farmers scrambled together with corn and sunflower oil, russia and ukraine have reached a tenuous agreement to allow 20000000 tons of trapped, ukrainian grain to leave from black c ports through so called safe channels. But with all the dangers of transporting the crop of 2022 in a war zone for now, this farm is storing wheat in these containers. Weight is this symbol of ukraine, that yellow and blue flag represents a field of wheat beneath a sky of blue. And for ukraine, the problem is getting is wheat out of the ports. But for farms like this, the problem is overcoming all of the obstacles to get it harvested in the 1st place. The harvest of war has been tough on farms across ukraine. Russia has left its signature on these cluster bars. Know what movies your market, encore, but i see got him here. We can see the mark of rational forces since the beginning class work, our employees find these on our fields. The machinery of war rushes, the machines on the far end is summer winds to close, the race to bring in this years crop grows more urgent every day. John henderson, al jazeera crescent ukraine, a key bridge in the occupied ukrainian city of her son has been closed. By rational forties, its an important crossing for russian supply routes. Ukrainian forces have tried to cut off the roads. Russia can use to move heavy weapons in and around how soon they entered the sky bridge has come to repeated attack. In the past week, russian backed Officials Say the foundations of the bridge has not been damaged, but theyre closing it to traffic in case of more selling electricity is that im willing to give it to you. It was sometime between 10 and 11 pm. I do not remember when exactly as i heard a bang bang bang. I came out to have a look and saw smoke coming from around and sniffed the bridge and i understood that something was wrong that ukrainians wont rest until they finish that it seems the match to do it. If the company is russian is foreign minister and, and its about where hes hell talks with his if you can count, bought to make him make on the visit as part of the 2nd lego say, la ross, africa tori is aiming to reassure nations. Hit hard by the global grain shortage caused by russias war and ukraine, and moscows hoping to strengthen ties with the continent that has so far, refused to join western sanctions over the war. In recent years, russia successfully expanded its influence across the african continent. Russia has also been able to step into vacuums, created by the west, now supplies more than 30 percent of egypt, weapon imports after the u. S. Cut back military aid following the 2013 qu, russia has rapidly increased the deployment of private military, current contractors across africa. These contracts, such as the wagner group, have been offered as military support or african nations. When United Nations voted in march to condemn russias actions and ukraine, 17 african nations either version against the resolution or abstained. Stephen goods is the head of the african governance and diplomacy program. He joins me now by skype from johannesburg. Thanks very much for being with us. So how do you see the level of visit in the, in the context to watch rushes trying to achieve globally . Thank you very much and thanks for having me. This is, i think, was russia demonstrating that its not isolated, that the sanctions havent been able to cut it off completely from the rest of the world. That it still has governments that are friendly towards it. And i think it, it was part of the larger propaganda war that, that, thats happening alongside the shooting war. You have president lensky who is very slick and able to use social media very well. And i think i read this, this russian trip. I love rob as, as a p r exercise as much as anything else. Was there anything one should read into the choice of countries that he was visiting . Well, there were all countries that abstained when the boat went to the United Nations general assembly. And that all countries with which russia has a long and deep history. So starting with egypt, russia from soviet times was, was close to egypt and in post soviet era as well. Russia is just about to build a Large Nuclear plant in, in egypt, which will make it the 2nd country off to south africa to have it. The republic of congo long, long standing relations there as well. President mo, 70 in uganda is a big fan of president putin and is, was very happy to host lovegrove. And of course, ethiopia is an important country in the horn of africa and houses the african union. So i think it was countries that had supported russia previously. Its also interesting where he didnt go, he didnt go to south africa, he didnt go to kenya, he didnt go to nigeria, so one congo everywhere. But i think he went to countries where he knew he would get a good reception. And how does, given the kind of attempts that youve just been rebuilding those kind of, you know, post cold war or building on those, those relationships, historical relationships with those kind of countries. Where do you see rushes influence in this, in africa as compared to the west or chinas, i think what we must recognize is not to over blow russias influence too much. Its total trade with the continent is less than 20000000000. 00, which is probably 10 percent of what china trades with the continent. And of course the us and the countries and the u. K. Have longstanding ties and very deep inroads into the continent. But nevertheless, it has been growing, rush of implement has been growing particularly since put into over into 1000, but especially off the 2014 when russia next crimea and was, was frozen out of relations with many other countries because of sanctions. And of course, now its face another round of sanctions, and its likely whats already happened. There was a business delegation in johannesburg a couple of days ago that russia will be looking to find new markets, new opportunities, and as well, the diplomatic support. And just bit more about the use of those private ministry contractors. How much influence do they have in the area . I think theyre very influential. A rational course denies their existence and denies any connection of them to the states. But in the Central African republic, they have been popping up the president there. They have been widely dispersed. They will say in molly where, you know, new interest, you talked about western powers being displaced. The french ambassador was expelled, and as bronx pulls back in europe pulls back from its operations in this a, how these private military companies are stepping in. They had a mis adventure in mozambique where a number of them were killed and they pulled up pretty quickly. But in some of the most unstable countries in the continent, this is where russia is making serious inroads. Thank you very much indeed. Testing grid for talking to thank you. Youre welcome. Thank you. Russia now says it will remain part of the International Space station at least until 2028 when it hopes to have its own outpost in orbit of russia. Space agency had said on tuesday, the country would end Space Partnership with us after 2024 International Space station has been over to me for more than 2 decades. Last cooperative project between russia and the u. S. The u. S. Federal reserve has raised its benchmark Interest Rate by 3 quarters of a point to 2. 5 percent as its highest level since 2018 increase as part of an aggressive dr to tame high inflation. Why cannot, has the latest for us from washington d. C. The chairman of the federal reserve, jerome paul discussed that very issue, he wouldnt be drawn on whether they were going to be further hike increases this year. He hinted that there may be, but would not state specifically he said, come september when the fed meets again and just then a decision will be taken on the available data at the fed has made very clear that the whole point of this is to drive down the inflation rate, which is now over 9 percent. The fed insists its got to get inflation down to at least 2 percent. And this is the aim. This is the intention of this interest hike. Now, this is the 4th in this year, 2. 5 percent is the highest that the Interest Rate has been since 2018 or some have welcome this. The markets have actually sold in the wake of jerome pals, announcement the dollars gone up by some 400 percent. There has been the sentiment on wall street, for example, that the fed is to be welcomed in terms of his aggressive action. However, some economists are arguing that pushing the Interest Rate to this extent could result in a recession down the line. Now that is something that jerome paul was asked about as well, but he said the indices in the market at present. In particular, if you look at the drug market, which is increasing by some 350000 each month over the past 3 months, as this type of into c would never preceded recession that didnt in the past. And he doesnt believe its going to now is President Joe Biden has emerged from 5 days of isolation after contracting corona virus.
