a spent decades speaking truth to power. someone who's been out there afraid, despite the threats that have followed him, his entire adult life, it seems. and it happened that a site that is places very familiar to me, a very tranquil rural community known chautauqua to talk with institution, where the most preeminent speakers and thought leaders and politicians justices. and everyone come together to have the free expression of thought. so this is a place ideal ideally suited for him to be able to speak, and that's what he was attempting to do. just in the last hour before he was attacked. christian salumi trying to sly for me. oh, can some honesty confirm to be in surgery? what else is known about his condition right now? not a lot snow in this just happened some 4 hours ago,

while he was forced into hiding in 1989 after the ayatollah khomeini. i called for his death issued a decree to that extent. there had already been protests around the world in many countries where the book was banned because it was considered blasphemous. and in recent years, he'd become more visible. once again, i'd appearing in western television shows, doing interviews, going to conferences i, he was knighted in the u. k. and boris johnson, in fact, is one of the leaders who come out and decried the incident that's happened saying it's appalling and that i, you know, he was exercising free speech. something forest johnson said, should not have to be defended at this stage. and so clearly in the west that part of his past seemed in the distance, he seemed to be moving freely about i but clearly he remained a controversial figure in much of the world because of his writings over the years,

some 14 novels, many critically acclaimed prize winning books, but a controversial person and writer nonetheless. thanks very much for that h history or call not christian salumi. ah, the f b, i reportedly recovered 11 sets of classified documents, including some marked top secrets, all searching for president donald trump to mar logo home in florida. according to the wall street journal, f b r, move 20 boxes of items from his home, including an executive pardon for a major trump ally roger stone and information on the french president in manuel mac wrong. on thursday u. s. attorney general merritt, garland said he personally made the decision to allow the search of trumps florida estate has asked a federal court to release the warrant as a matter of public interest. my counter is live at the white house,

any more information about the, the contents of these highly classified documents report to be found in, in trump's possession. well, the deadline for trans lawyers to respond to the department of justice request that the documents be unsealed has now passed. we haven't heard any formal reaction from the trump lawyers. so now we may rest with the florida court, which pos to warrant in the 1st place. but in the last few minutes, several media organizations are reporting what they say, all the contents of the inventory comply by the f b. i author, that search morrow laga among the infantry, according to several publications. a number of top secret documents that deal with highly classified matters, the most highly classified within the governmental system. documents that it said that should only be viewed as specific secure government sites. now the indication,

according to several publications, is that donald trump is being investigated under the espionage act because of the content of some of these documents. this is being reported. we cannot confirm independently at this particular point. however, we are hoping that the documents will be unsealed, but here is a nother question. the judge if the trump lawyers contest the matter and the judge rules that the documents can be unsealed. the judge then has to decide whether all the documents on field, in other words, the affidavit, which the department of justice filed justifying the warrant, the warrant itself. and then that inventory comprised by the f. b i, which would reveal exactly what was taken from come tomorrow. lago mentioned, so all of these developments and the way several news organizations clearly having obtained it, i must add as well that trump himself has said that he is happy for the documents

to be and field. yes, he has taken no action on this. it's very simple for donald trump and his lawyers to simply unsealed the documents themselves. there is no need for any legal process because the doctor were served on them. so that is the situation at the moment, waiting for some legal resolution. if any, waiting for the form or response of trumps lawyers as to whether or not it's going to contest the unfeeling of the documents and allow them to be made public. thank you very much. over latest from the white house down washington, my kind of now firefighters have been called in from across europe. tell france battle several major wildfires as the country once again faces the stock. reality of rising temperatures, much as a competent to seen weeks of baking heat, compounded with a critical drought creating prime wildfire conditions. more than a 1005 fighters of battling a giant blaze in a pine forest in france's south west and here on the region. for more than
