round the panama over the next day or so, we got some very wet weather coming in to that western side of the caribbean. still a few showers for the eastern islands, but not too bad here when the web sunshine, van showers. then as we go on to thursday, you see the majority of the heavy rate will be around nicaragua, costa rica right down towards panama, just some heavy rain coming back into a good part of kentucky, just around the appalachians right into the deep south larvae shouts, pushing through slowly, making the way for the east cats are airway official, airline of the journey. we are a generation of can people, but very ambitious, very united, very puts this to and i'm very good about him. you might be comfortable right now, but not to foot long. you will soon feel the same. his, we feel every day from cuba, hong kong and uganda, 3 women grapple with the impact of the frontline activists. dear future children on

a j 0. ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello, i'm sam is a dan. this is the news out live from dell coming up the next 60 minutes. better than expected economic figures boost the u. s. economy. g 7 foreign ministers demand russia hands back. this apparition, nuclear plant to ukraine to ensure its safety. ah, israeli forces arrest 9 palestinians in the occupied west bank following protests of the killing of a senior palestinian commander al jazeera visits, a refugee camp in garzo, a palestinian size strikes have killed at least 9 children on joanna roscoe. a

school is africa launch is a new football, super league, and serena williams coles time on her tennis career, saying she will retire after the us open. ah, we begin this new south with developments just south of the united states. the latest figures show the annual rate of inflation has eased in the past month, but it does remain high as go straight to our white house correspondent kimberly hallett joins us live now from washington dc. so kimberly those numbers not as scary as food. that's right. this is certainly an encouraging sign for working class and middle class americans who have been struggling to pay for just the ordinary stables to survive. namely the food and rent, as well as,

as gas prices are petrol prices. those have been at 40 year highs for some time now, but the latest numbers to come out. 8 just the last half hour show that it when it comes to at least the energy prices, those appear to be falling. and that is certainly encouraging news. those numbers now 8.5 percent in terms of that inflation rate that is down from last months, 9 point one. so this is certainly as sign that things are working, at least in the eyes of the biden administration. they say this point to the fact that the federal reserve, which controls monetary policy in this country as raised the interest rates recently to try and slow the rate of inflation in the united states. as they say that this is evidence that, that tactic is working. but the question becomes whether or not this will work for the long term, whether or not this is actually the peak and still this is only one month of data.

there is still a long way ahead in terms of try to bring these prices and inflation down, but certainly this is a welcome sign for those hardworking americans that have been struggling for so many weeks and months now to pay for just the ordinary things. they need to get by day to day. so good news for the americans. to what extent is it good news for those by them popularity ratings? while the president has a way to go in terms of his approval rating, they are still pretty low. but this is definitely welcome news for the president. in fact, this is coming on the string of a few legislative victories for the president as well. he's had some good news with regard to legislation with control a drug prices, as well as addressing climate change. so this is the kind of news the president has been looking for and we should point out his democratic party. up until now, the headlines have been pretty graham,

and this was not something that the white house. why to going into the congressional mid term elections that are in november. that seems a far way off, but it's now less than $100.00 days. that magic martin, and so in political terms, this was a problem. so, and getting these headlines now within that 100 day window is certainly welcome news for this white house. but again, whether it will be sustainable is still not clear, but certainly this may abate some of the frustration that voters were feeling that to have may have punished democrats or the polls come november. all right, thanks so much. kimberly. how could bear with g 7 foreign ministers are demanding russia hands back, cure its largest nuclear power plant to your crime, to ensure safety is parisha plant is near the city of and her daughter in southern ukraine. it has 6 re axes,

but just to economy operating for the war generated about 20 percent of the country's electricity. russia has been shelling the town of nickel ball, which is across the river. last week, ukraine's nuclear agency said shells hit the nitrogen oxygen units and the high voltage power line at the plant no radiation. the eggs were detected, but the reactor has been disconnected. ukraine's foreign ministry says shell hitting an operational react. so could i have the same impact as an atomic bomb? as bring in john henry, now he's live for us from the ukranian capital. so any sign, any indication russia might actually consider just handing bank separation. no sign so far, sammy, russia hasn't been commenting beyond saying it would allow the international atomic energy agency to come to the plant, but under russian auspices. and of course,

that's not what those g. 7 foreign ministers are asking for. they want russia to step back and completely remove itself. as a matter of fact, they want it to remove itself from all of the internationally recognized ukrainian territory. that's also highly unlikely to happen. but i spoke to the head of the company that runs that plan. an ergo, at tom, his name is petro cochin. and he told me that the russians have brought in military equipment including explosives there. he may get in the facility, not in the reactor, but next to it, they have vehicles explosive. they say that their personnel are in the bunkers underneath the facility. those are the bunkers that the workers would go to if there were a nuclear emergency. and he says he is under that belief. what russia is trying to do is use these strikes. and of course, russia says ukraine launch these strikes,

but he says he believes that russia has launched the strikes at the facility in order to sever it from the ukrainian grid and take the power with it and reconnect to a crimea nuclear facility, so that the energy and all of the connections would be fully in russian territory. this is a little about what he had to say about what could happen if that does happen. the damage, the lions, which contains a plant with great and power system. and this is where it injures right now. all the parties in nuclear power plant is working and connected only by a long line to, to, to the system. and this is a risk of losing the external power to the plan. and it is dangerous because the village is blocked out more and we will start in diesel generators and the if they stop, then you will have like melting of

a nuclear cor over us. all right, and we've also been hearing about those explosions in crime, in some conflict thing, suggestions about what happened, what do we know? that's right. there was a series of explosions at an airport in crimea. it's about 200 kilometers from where the front lines are. so the suggestion is that the highmark missiles that ukraine has could not reach there. in fact, ukrainian officials, they said they are not responsible for that series of explosions. russia says that it was some kind of accident that set off ammunition. but this story just got a little more interesting because the washington post is currently reporting and we cannot independently verified as the washington post is reporting that according to a senior ukrainian official, it was ukrainian special forces far from the front lines that managed to pull this

off again, we don't know that that is what happens. so looks like there's a lot more behind this story potentially. but we don't really have an answer to exactly what caused that. we just have a lot of speculation at the moment. all right, thanks so much john. henry and there plenty of all still ahead on the news hour, including south korea is picking up the pieces after the heaviest, raining over a century kills 9 people in floods. the capital. the white house says president biden was not briefed on an f. b. i search of former president donald trump's home and another game, another milestone for this japanese baseball star. joe will have the details in a scroll ah. as of wednesday, european union member states can no longer in port cole from russia. it's part of

a 5th sanctions package on moscow, but that embargo is already causing problems for europe's biggest economy. germany, dominant cane is at a power plant just outside berlin. the interesting thing is the place behind me this. this cuffed high cuts, fuck, half stuck in the middle of berlin. will they go out over dependence on russian coal? earlier this year, they saw metaphorically the right thing on the wall as far as they were concerned, and they divest themselves of a dependency on russian coal. that just had a consignment of coal sent to them, it's being unloaded right now. crucially, it's not russian coal, and the same applies right across the you. now, snowy you, country should be bringing in coal from russia sauce from russia, but to a certain extent, both here in germany and across the u. that's the easiest of the fossil fuels supported from russia to do away with the ones that are much hard to do away with oil and of course gas. we know that the declares ambition from the you and from

city, from the germans, is to get rid of dependency on oil by the end of the year. but getting rid of that dependency on gas is much more difficult. and we've already heard here in berlin on wednesday that several different large main gas providers in germany has said they're going to be hiking their prices for residential uses of gas in the coming autumn, full season by a very considerable amount. so while there's no question that you leaders will be saying, how important it is to get out of these fossil fuels, sorry, guesses concerned. it's very hard in spain there a plan, blackouts and thermostat regulations, but local say it's too hot to comply. lay harding has more it has been a sweltering summer in madrid, but as temperatures have sort, so to has the cost of fuel. so the spanish government has mandated that offices and

stores cannot set their cooling system below 27 degrees celsius. in an area dependent on tourism, locals are afraid the heat waves and crack down on energy could scare visitors away . even if we get to the futures going to be impossible because now we are 18 degrees inside. if we go up to $27.00 degrees, we're going to be sweating all day. we won't need to go to the gym the for just give out a lot of heat and the customers are going to complain. nobody's going to come in. but the spanish government has already agreed with the other european union countries to cut dependency on russian gas by 15 percent. by the end of the year. they will just do that. we have to comply with the agreements we have reached in brussels assessment and what i said in the money, spain also has a commitment of solidarity with the rest of europe in countries. each country is

free to choose the way in which we'll meet that commitment to cut energy use here in spain. that includes turning off the light perhaps, or the measures need to be found because i don't know up to what point turning off a shop window, display light is going to make much saving shop, have to turn off window lights after 10 pm. however, street lighting will not be affected when i didn't know, but why would visitors come? because when you go out for a walk, what you want to see is joy soon. we won't have light. so if you decide to come to here and everything is switched off, you're going to ask yourself, what's the point? the measures will be reversed in winter when regulations will prohibit indoor areas, not to be warmed above 27 degrees. leah harding al jazeera bouquets, also swiping over possible energy shortfalls. this winter, the government says it's prepared to knock some heads together during crisis talks

with energy company bosses on thursday. paul brown joins us now live with mall. so going to knock some heads. is this just getting ready for possible worst case scenario? look like the case ready heading towards some kind of blackout? yeah, we're in a real summer of energy crisis for the utilities, the water, the gas and electricity here in the united kingdom. and in response to that has been a lot of criticism of the governments lack of response. we are effectively leaderless here in the united kingdom, with bar as johnson still of number 10 downing street, but not making any policy decisions while we wait for his successor to be named either richard sooner or later trust who are competing for the conservative party leadership to be the next prime minister that contests not reaching and i've come until september the 5th. now in the meantime, what happens, what's happening is the energy costs to consumers are going up extraordinarily high . i mean, a typical bill from a year ago was around $2000.00 from january. the annual bill will be more than

$5000.00. you can see the enormous acceleration and costs, and that's worrying people. now government treasury officials say the bad working of options, but the next lead a crude act, but that's not enough for consumer groups who are demanding that there should be some kind of joint proposals come forward. now, even before the next prime minister is named, as you say, there will be a couple of government ministers who will jointly meet energy bosses on 1st day. the minister say they will be knocking heads together. the fact is, the energy bosses will give as good as they get. i mean, energy boss is being interviewed on the media this morning saying things like, you know, the situation is dia, i'm astonished we don't see the 2 political contenders. declare a unity of purpose. so both sides blending each other. all right, thanks so much for brennan. israeli forces have arrested 9 palestinians in the occupied west bank. they include a member of islamic jihad,

the group. israel said it was targeting in 3 days of strikes on garza. ah, on tuesday there were protests after the military killed a senior commander of the palestinian group. i'll ox, a martyrs brigades, some palestine organizations of called for a general strike. for him and the bulls. he was shot dead by israeli troops on tuesday along with 2 others. they were killed. 2 days after a cease fire took hold in garza, between israel and his stomach. he had all the number of palestinians killed in garza during 3 days of fighting as risen to 47 children accounted for one 3rd of those. 9 of the 16 children killed lived in the giovanni a refugee camp. dasher of a name went to speak. witnesses at the camp to warn, some of our viewers may find the images to be disturbing. ah,

at just 4 years old, jameel had already experienced war. his 16 year old cousin had lived through 4 of them. they didn't survive a visit to their grandfather's grave. 5 children were killed in the cemetery in jack ballier refugee camp on sunday all but one of them from the same family had unlocked wallet arb that on with his symmetry. these relish hit is like a park for our children in our religion. we consider it as our final resting place . there is no security for our children. i asked the international community to pressure israel to stop killing our children. this witness says he saw the explosion as the boys sat around the grave site. hello, hello, hello. just a few seconds after they passed me, i heard the sound of an arm drone hit, the children. it was quiet. there was nothing going on in the cemetery. it was safe, then i looked up and found the children dead mobile the previous day,

4 children in the camp were killed som, as they went to bye treats from a market, barely an adult. and an only child. colleen abu commodity was hoping to marry sue, and give his parents, grandchildren shouting of english and he, we could all be martyrs. almost every year we have war a massacres. when helene was born, i had the feeling he would and live long, but i never expected. he would die this way. witnesses a, the damage to these cars and the force of the explosion are consistent with israeli air strikes over the years. the israeli military says 200 of the rockets fired by palestinian islamic. he had misfired and some civilians were killed. it's as easy as that a valley. a cemetery is still being investigated. but the 1st incident which killed 4 children, was the result of an errant rocket fired by the armed group. no one here believes

that messiah. it's not true, i saw with my own eyes the israel rocket from the roof of my home. the israelis must cut my son. there is no doubt that palestinian groups are not responsible for the job. a lay, a refugee camp last 9. boys in this latest round of violence with israel during their short lives, they experienced the terror and loss of war after war. with no chance of a peaceful childhood. natasha named el jazeera, gaza under international humanitarian law. the state of israel is considered an occupying power in palestine. as such, it's required to meet certain obligations. one of them is avoiding collective punishment. that means an entire group cannot be sanctioned as retaliation for the acts of some of its members. the confiscation or destruction of private property, also not allowed. there is, however,

an exception. if the occupying military force decides it's absolutely necessary, and people accused of crimes by the occupation have a right to a fair trial. oh, spring and john, do god, he's a former un special wrapper tor on the situation of human rights in the occupied palestinian territory is also an ameritas professor of international law at leyden university, joins us now from the hague. good. have you with us? so 1st of all, an occupying power as i was saying, it has obligations not to conduct population transfers like what happens with settlements. not to conduct collective punishment like home demolitions, not to expose civilian life to danger and death like bombing civilian buildings. to what extent, when you look at what happens is israel actually respecting this israel does not receive the 4th geneva convention, which deals with

e. right and obligations are and occupying the car. and that is wired to day. it is generally accepted that d, occupation of palestine is illegal. it is said the occupied occupation of pass i illegal. what are an occupied people's rights when it comes to resisting an occupation. these low international treaty would shave, confers hereafter resistance or occupy people. but they must have an inherent right to resist, he occupying a car by the use of force. the problem is that if see occupying par, her stations reoccupied, people who occupied people responded by firing rockets, which it endanger civilian life that might give rise to the commission of

a war crime. and so that is a matter which b is being investigated in the international criminal court. so he, in summary, the occupied people do have the right to resist, but they must ensure that they do not owe indiscriminately in j's as a, lives over the civilian population of the occupying power. and then does the occupy, have the right to use force back to prevent the occupied people from resisting that occupation? well that to raise a dell question ok, bases poor israel as a tech on garza is or argues that it is acting in self defense. no, in the prison case, it's manifestly pause that kicked out of his self to face. because israel strap the

1st blow, israel attacked garza without a check being made from gauzy soft. and so is there a can? what justifies action? as an act of self defense, it's simply a way of enforcing the occupation any event must act proportionately and without indiscriminate use of poor survey sicilian population. i'd say it is quite clear that can yet present attack on a garza the attack of last week. that day is a good act disproportionately and did in discovery, a fire civilians and kill civilians. so i have no doubt that event has committed a war crime. but this is for the international criminal court to decide when

war crimes are then committed or when there are allegations of the commission of war crimes settlements, transfer population house, demolitions, collective punishments, water address to the palestinians actually have what court can they go to was early court, which would institute it criminal proceedings to his he international criminal court, and j martinez before the international criminal court. and has been considered by their course since 2018. but the court is taking a long time to initiate a prosecution. the difficulty is active palestinians see progress in foreign court that he a guy who deliver will peter talk or an immunity. and to date, pardon,

courts have upheld he acts of israel is as constituting sub renette, which warranty immunity. so there is a problem, a, so her court for redress really is a international criminal court. all right, thank you so much for your analysis. john, do grant to people have been killed and dozens injured during heavy rain and flash flooding in sudan. at least 2000 homes have been destroyed in the river now state rain also cut off the main highway, connecting the state to cartoon. him, morgan has more while several villages and river now stayed specifically in the county of berber, have been submerged as a result of heavy rains. many villages have reported having hundreds of homes being destroyed. some families being forced to be displaced from their homes,

to either mosques or schools to seek refuge because their homes have been destroyed by the water. now this is something that happens annually. many villages and many states inter dan during the a rainy season and the government itself has issued warnings. 2 of those living by the mail, telling them that they were expecting heavy rain this year. and therefore, people along the mouth should try to move, to destroy, to avoid losing their property and losing their lives. as the rents have not only affected river now state since the beginning of the rainy season in june, at least 12 people have been killed. most of them in the western region of dark or where flash floods have destroyed hundreds of homes as well and people they are being displaced once again after being displayed by conflict. now facing displacement because of brains and floods. a clean up is under way in south korea's capital sol off to record breaking rain and flash floods killed at least 9 people. the heaviest down pause in more than a 100 years turned roads into rivers. rom, mcbride has more from sol. across the city of sole and in the surrounding province

. the clean up continues from these unprecedented reigns at streets, and roads turned into rivers. vehicles washed away and sadly lives lost. some people caught in their apartments by rapidly rising water. other people simply swept away. there were predictions that sol would get up to around $300.00 millimeters of rainfall at the start of this week. up until wednesday morning. some parts of the city have recorded well over 500 millimeters. and as the rains continued further south, some province is south of sol, can expect to further 300 millimeters of rain as this week continued. here on the han river, this double deck of bridge is a good indicator of the amount of flooding here, the low a carriage way. it's designed that it becomes verged when the hon floods. now, while the waters have receded some water that still well under water, as indeed are many parts of the banks of the river on both sides. your authorities

here had been putting in special measures to deal with the summer reigns, in particular in the low lying gang them district. as south of the han river, special drainage has been installed, are able to handle up to 80 millimeters of water per hour. now the authorities a believe that that was going to be enough for these some arrays, but clearly they will have to think again, sol as many other cities around the world really having to face the challenge of dealing with a change in climate i. it's time for the weather over the everton. hello, we now have signs of some fly by the pushing back in to the korean peninsula. i'm pleased to say at least for the time being to see this long line of clear that was responsible for the actor. unprecedented flooding rains that we have seen here. some of the wettest weather in over 100 years. some pastor seen around half a meter of rainfall. little wonder that we have seen those extensive floods in and

around the sol area. but the wet weather is the set is now slipping further southwards. some parts of south caressing the heavier bursts of rain and that she gradually clear through as we go on 3 friday brightens up. it warms up so around $31.00 celsius in the sunshine, still warm into japan, $35.00 celsius. therefore tokyo at wet weather will make his way across much of japan as we go through friday. so expect to see some isolated cases of flash flooding. coming through here, some very wet weather continue across southern parts of china at present said joining up with a system which is pushing up towards high nana tropical disturbance will bring some very heavy rain into northern parts of vietnam in to northern areas of laos over the next couple of days, and that cloud and rain will drift its way up towards me and mar. ahead of that. lot of wet weather across a central part of india, right into the southeast of pakistan. still had an al jazeera, a huge fire. it's an all depot is contained, but cube is energy crisis is far from oba ended schools. we look back on one of the

great chemist careers. as serena williams announces her time, ah ah ah

sake that mm hm. and then the international anti corruption excellence award boat. now for your hero, lou ah, how come back time to recap our headlines now the the annual rate of inflation in the us eas, slightly in july, the 8 point 5 percent. but it remains close to its 40 year peak of 9 point one

percent registered in june. g 7 foreign ministers are demanding russia hand back as appreciate nuclear power plant to ukraine to ensure its safety. moscow and key of our accusing each other of shelling the science a european union battle russian. coal starts on wednesday. it's part of the block sanctions package in response to the war in ukraine. the u expects. the coal band will cost russia $4400000000.00 a year, cause power shortages across europe. for more now, those power problems across europe. let's bring in alberto tanina. he's an associate professor of international history and energy politics, joins us now from florence in italy. good to have you with us. so wednesday the coal buy and kicks in the e u. all that means for countries which are reliant on russian energy, especially like italy. well,

italy is not experiencing for now any energy, so to jewels, but they assessment for the next months are quite to worry. so this means that the italian out or it is, are already improving some measure in order to be ready for possible energy shortages during the cold season. these measures are implemented just now and will be even more in the future. these i have to do with energy saving and energy efficiency. and this is a 1st measure that can be easily adopted by local and national out, or it is by the private companies and by families in italy. and according to many different assessments, there is

a measure of energy saving and energy efficiency can help italy to save the approximately 10 percent of its annual energy needs is not going to be enough though. when winter kicks in. when we know europe relied up to 40 percent of its energy came from russia. yes, it is the reality for some counties more than other countries, usually together with germany is among the countries with the highest rate of dependency on extern of sources and namely russia. but to war to we, we see in the next amounts or is it a real audience? ation off extern now at sources of energy in the case of italy, because it's geographical position. italy,

we rely on different and suppliers probably from a julia probably from katara with it's a liquefied natural gas and egypt, iran. and so if we look to the prospect for the next the, let's say one or 2 ears each. ellie probably would be able to reduce significantly it's energy imposed from brush. what. what does it do in the meantime, in the one to 2 year period, the one to 2 years. yeah, they can find all the sources. they can move, get green, a, in a sense, what do they do in the year or 2 as you put it? yeah, these is the real challenges because the short term is the most difficult dimension in the medium and the low, long term italy as well as europe, we'd find a different solution. but in a short term,

we need to have an immediate measured that can be energy saving, as i already mention, energy efficiency, and also the availability of a new suppliers that are already in the market that are already supplying easily with some oil and natural garza a think of algeria and egypt, and that we will increase our inputs from diaz, medi south, mediterranean suppliers. we already have, i plans, we already have some infrastructure that can partially substitute, only partially substitute our energy inputs from rush. all right, thanks so much for your analysis. votes of being counted in kenya's closely for presidential election. turnouts is expected to be around 60 percent. the front

runners, the former prime minister relo dinger, deputy president william root ho malcolm web joins me now live from nairobi. so they, tallying the votes. how smoothly is that process going? will the lecture commissioner spoke just a short while ago in a press conference he said, electronically they've got about 97 percent of those forms from the polling stations. they're waiting to receive them physically before they can proceed with italy. but it did say to date, so they've gathered already shows that it was about 64 percent turn out considerably lower than what it was in the 1st one of the election that took place 5 years ago when it was about 80 percent. with me is professor community canyon from the university of nairobi, a political analysts. why do you think the turn out is so much lower this time? let me begin by correcting the impression that, that the panel is lori. we. we are back to the 1990 s. that was the average

performance in the 1900 ninety's. when many people did not turn up for different reasons. so this time round one can see that yes, it's lower than 75 percent, 300 in 2017 lower than 83 percent. dr. hardy in 2015. and this could be attributed to several reasons. some of them are, you know, specific other general in the context of vermont. can you region where president to who can you comes from and where are the deputy president seem to have the mid day . very good. there are cheaper mon same types of results so far. the penalty is not in the ninety's thing. they do not linked apartments that you seen the last few to general elections for several, for one simple reason doctor. will the leading allowances go to the deputy running mich running mich or they will be the deputy president from the region and therefore their exam. the people are not as passionate as they would have been if

the hand approved issue accredited to lack of a presidential candidate from central kenya. one depressed the will to tunnel on the, to having the running mich from december region also makes people feel that this is a win win situation. we travel their puppies when we are in. well, when you look on the top part of the country, you can see that is general gives elation meant with the political elites in this country because of what the promise and the field to deliver on their promises. and most importantly is many people are nice thing that these political leaders almost got from the same cloth. soon after these, the general election, you will see them again, changing camps under of those who are competing against one another to do will be forming alliances. so it's a few politics is there for them, or rather than for our transformational digital safety. what do you think about that term? do they use the younger demographic?

is the one which we do not seen men of they're pulling stations and that speaks very much about water, their disillusionment and quickly. what do you think about the process as you seen it? i would say that the process of that with the process for election voting, it was very efficient men of us acknowledge that voting and voting of the voting in the video. pulling stations went on very well, but kim's kids were filling in some places and therefore people tend to menu. but generally we'll say we're in a very p c. electro election on the, the, the, the electra process itself up to the pulling station went, well, we bought the electro commission was, or pick in tom solver is telling of the results by what suppressed everyone is that they put all the results in terms of form dr. for ease in a public portal where everyone including yourself, malcolm can go after it. there are times thank you very much, professor community. can you give them the university of navy back to you in the

now the white house says us president joe biden was not given advance notice of the f. b i such a former president, donald trump, florida. the home federal agents entered from small lago residence on monday night . the white house says the justice department, conduct investigations independently, trump and some republicans in congress of the department under pressure saying it should explain the basis for the search. my cabinet has more from washington the department of justice and the f. b. i are remaining tight lipped on this. they have declined to make any comment whatsoever. we have got some information from one of trump's own lawyers. she was actually at the floor, the mention when the search took place and she confirmed that the warranted dealt with articles that had gone missing or couldn't be found. when then president trump left the presidency, taking a large number of material with him to mar logo. this warrant there remain sealed,

so is not accessible to the public, but all indications saw that this is dealing with material that then president trump took with them when he left the white house. now we do know that earlier this year, the department of justice personnel went to speak with donald trump at morrow laga discussing the matter of these missing documents or the documents that trump took within. so they didn't, at that stage, did take away a number of cases of documents, but it would appear that they did not take all. and what the search was about would appear in the course of the past 24 hours. was those missing trove of documents that they still could not account for? china's military says its finished its life fire drills in the taiwan strait, but beijing's troops remain ready for battle. the navy and air exercises began last week after the us house became nancy pelosi visited taiwan. taipei has responded
