a house of representatives panel has the right to see former president donald trump's tax returns. the ways and means committee sued in 2019 to force the disclosure of the tax returns. a federal appeals court now says the panels request was justified and rejected arguments by donald trump's lawyers that the records should be withheld. the ruling comes a day after the f. b, i reportedly searched the former president's florida home. the search is believed to be part of an investigation into whether he took classified records from the white house to his private residence. well my can joins a slide now from washington, d. c. mike potential trouble for the former president of his tax returns his own home being searched by the f b i. this is real pressure again on donald trump. what does it mean for him? and how important is all of this? well, it's a massive legal problem that deficient in d. c was by

a 3 judge bench. so a very persuasive judgment. former president, trump has got the right to appeal within the next week. he could then go to a full bench of the dc district court, or perhaps even go directly to the supreme court. but this has been for years in the making of the ways and means committee was trying to get been president trump's tax returns for a long period of time as part of the oversight process. trump is one of the very few presidents who refused to disclose any of his tax records. and part of why the ways that means wanted this was looking at his relationship between his position as president and also some financial dealings that he did prior to becoming president . for example, buying a post office in downtown d. c, which belonged to the federal government. so that along with the search shop is florida home at raising great problems. now more details on that particular search . the department of justice is still declining to offer any comment as as the f

b i about crumbs only lawyer has confirmed that the f b i. agents were looking for documents that he had taken with him when he left the presidency. now, the warrant itself is still filled at this particular point in time, but the lawyer confirming that this was in fact what the f b i agents were looking for. now this has been a long standing process. there been many complaints about some of the items that donald trump took with him when he left the white house. the national records association also made a complaint to the department of justice about the fact that the records were missing, which is against the presidential records act. so this is going on, this is likely to develop as the f b, i continues its investigation to consider whether there is any wrong doing invoke here. but the has been a long process as well because the f b i and the documents of justice had conversations with trump and his stuff up

months ago about the whereabouts of these documents. so in a way, this search not unexpected. and one must remember too, that it could only have happened with the signing off by a judge on a search warrant. the judge would only do so if he had adequate cause to believe that the warrant was justified. my kind of life for us in washington dc. thanks mike. us police say they've detained the primary suspect in the killings of for muslim men in the city of albuquerque. the local police chief says officers found a vehicle belief to be involved in the murders which happened over the past 9 months. the driver is the main suspect he's been connected to at least 2 of the murders. the 1st killing happened in november, and 2 of the victims were members of the same musk is we were, den a fide 51 year old mohammed said, as the person who perpetrated at least the 2 crimes on rhode island and cornell se

are continuing to investigate his involvement in the other crimes closely with the district attorney's office and the federal prosecutor's office. what we can tell you is a tip from the community is what helped us lead us to this subject. and what helped us eventually find the car that we put out just 2 days ago to the public. at least one confirmed case of polio and new yorkers health officials worried about a possible launch outbreak. the virus has been detected in the states sewage system authorities, urgently calling for people who are unvaccinated, to get their shots as soon as possible. gabriel is on the reports. at this medical clinic, a rush to get as many jabs in as many arms as quickly as possible. inside these biles is not a coven vaccine. but instead, if vaccine for polio, yes, polio, ready to highly infectious, devastating virus that can cause paralysis. polio has been discovered in the waste

water, in 2 areas of new york, paralyzing an unvaccinated 20 year old man who had traveled to europe, where everyone, he says, paralytic polio. there's probably hundreds of other pieces that are going on did happen. and that's very worrisome. the centers for disease control and prevention or cdc is so concerned about polio being found in new york. they've sent a team of experts to investigate and try to contain it as quickly as possible. and this is an epicenter of the polio outbreak in america. new york's rockland and orange county's otherwise quiet areas about an hour north of new york city. as health officials try to get people vaccinated complicating matters, this area is home to a lot of ultra conservative orthodox jews. many of whom refuse vaccinations because of religious doctrine. web and orthodox, jewish population that has been relatively close. we do have communication with

them through their rabbis, and make sure that they understand how critical it is that the people get vaccinated. there are some groups that tend to say, well, god will protect me, but look, if you take that view, then you can't really go to the doctor. it's a god has sent us vaccines. go to center doctor's got us, let us understand polio and how it works. i think god wants us to use the invention of help. patients was recovered. a welcome, as it is important. polio struck beer and people in the 1940s paralyzing over 30000 people a year in the us before vaccinations were made readily available in 1955. when i was a little kid, i had polio. you don't want it is paralyzing. it is awful and it can kill the battle against polio is back on, and at least in one part of america, where the rush is not only to get people vaccinated,

but also convinced those who are reluctant. gabriel is on dough al jazeera new york . now a day after china announced it was extending its biggest military drills, taiwan has carried out its own live fire exercises to simulate defending the island against a possible attack. tension has escalated since us house speaker nancy pelosi visited type pay last week. a move beijing has called a provocation zane bus. robbie has more beijing's one china policy could make conflict about the future of taiwan inevitable. and this is what it might look like. on tuesday, taiwan began life fire drills to showcase the self proclaimed island nation's defensive power. days after some of the largest military exercises china has ever conducted. so i'll use the drilled, it is military play work to prepare for the invasion of pie one. it is contacting

large scale military exercises and missile launches as well cyber attack. this is what nation campaign and common core ation attempt to weaken. public more real in taiwan type a says it won't be intimidated even as china breeches the unofficial median line down the taiwan strait. the. we need to counter the blockade imposed by the chinese military. and today's exercise, it's a let china know that we are prepared. i hope both sides can exercise your strength . fighting a war is not good for the ordinary people. just send me the top officials from both sides or odds. we are just ordinary people and there's nothing we can do. if anything happens in the future, we can't do anything either will be. the latest flexing of muscles follows us. how speaker nancy pelosi is visit to tie pay a show, a support for taiwanese independence. the china says directly contravenes beijing's historical claim to the island. the u. s. position china is using the diplomatic

visit to pick a fight. clearly the p r c is trying to course taiwan. clearly they're trying to course the international community. and all i say is i'm, we're not gonna take the bait and it's not going to work. ah, so it's manufactured crisis at that doesn't mean we have to play into that. i think it would only play to beijing's advantage. what we'll do instead is to continue to fly to sale and to operate wherever international law allows us to do so. and that includes in the taiwan strait and we will continue to stand by our allies in partners in, in the region. the war games have disrupted shipping and air traffic in a region crucial to global trade. more worrying. perhaps beijing in taipei are turning up the heat on another brewing global conflict in basra, v l g 0. at least 9 people have been killed in the south korean capital sol,

up to some of the heaviest, raining decades. several people drowned in flooded buildings. rob mcbride has more now from so these rains have been expected with forecast is predicting around 300 millimeters of rainfall spread over the best part of a week. now, many places have already experienced that in the sol area in these past 2 days. and it is still raining, one place, recording $381.00 millimeters of rainfall on monday alone. now that's the heaviest rainfall in a 115 years. but considering that's when records 1st began, it's pretty unprecedented. one of the worst effected areas has been the low lying gangnam district south of the han river. that's also home to the country's president. you took yell, who found himself stranded in his apartment. these rains have mostly been affecting south korea with the rain bands. now moving further south down the korean peninsula,

but north korea has also been recording heavy rainfall with the north, suspected of releasing large amounts of water into the river system, shared by the 2 careers without informing the south 1st. because the 2 are talking at the moment, the korean peninsula usually gets annual reins in june with a return of the reins in september. but it seems that with changing weather patterns, this year, the rains have returned earlier and heavier than usual. an operation has begun to rescue a beluga whales stranded in france. the whale, which appears to be malnourished, was 1st seen in the river san last week. the animal is thousands of kilometers from its natural habitat. bernard smith has more. it's a long way from home, and there's no easy way to get this beluga whale back to where he belongs. he strayed into the river sane and a swarm nearly half way to paris, 80 kilometers up river. now,

officials have decided the best way of saving the huge mammal is to move it to a salt water tank. but it will be challenging operation. and if i skip count on you who i need is some one among you has an idea how to transport a beluga weighing 800 to 900 kilos for meters long without putting in in danger. yet because danger is real, we are all very aware of it. there is a real risk in transporting it and we're doing everything to ensure that was done in danger. its life may be one worth, but at least we will laugh, tried our best. bewail is being held in a lock basin where vets of administered vitamins and antibiotics he had been refusing to eat young obsessing conductor not eat. we're not. we've been observing his behavior and noticed he's a bit stressed. but what is reassuring is that he's managing his stress and has been relatively cold. what did, he prefers the side of the lug where there is less noisy. yeah, presumably the nearest beluga population is nearly 3000.
