thousands of migrants set out for the city of tampa, chula, in the early hours of monday. there's numerous nationalities among them. but the vast majority or from venezuela o one to reach the united states. it's already been a long and difficult journey for most. there are many of us migrants here. we need help just like this woman. many people died in the jungle on our way here. it's the largest migrant care band to set out from southern mexico this year. they'll rest for now, but the plan is to take to the road again after midnight and make it as far as they can before the heat sets in once again. ah, donald trump is being investigated for breaching us espionage laws. after the f b, i finds classified documents that his florida home were in

a very heated political environment. a lot of rhetoric is being thrown around, but there's very little knowledge underlie and trump's former u. s. national security advisor tells al jazeera the f b i investigation one dad that and he's full of bosses. political ambitions. ah, hello, i'm emily. ang, when this is al jazeera, live from doh or say, coming up, right, has salman rushdie. he once faced death threats over his satanic, this is novel, has been stabbed and seriously injured on stage milk state and severe drought in mexico kills livestock left in searing temperatures, while emergency crews in europe fight relentless battles against wildfires. ah,

ah, welcome to the program. former us president donald trump is suspected of violating the espionage act after the f. b. i seized classified documents from his florida state. earlier this week, a u. s. federal judge has unsealed the warrant that authorized to search documents seized included information on the pattern for major trump ally, we're just stone and information on french president to menu all ma crone that's bring in the heidi drink. hester, who's been covering developments in washington, d. c. hello there, heidi, what more do we know about what was uncovered in that search? hi, emily also included in the c's documents from our logo. we're 11 sets of classified materials. according to these unsealed court records. among those 11 sets for were marked top secret and 3 were marked secret. now we don't know the specifics beyond that, but according to reporting from the washington post,

it is believed that the f f b. i was after information regarding nuclear weapons and the new york times has reported that some of these classified materials were designated special access program, which is the very highest echelon of classification information that only the president and perhaps the secretary of state and secretary of defense would have access to now we're also learning from this search warrant that president trump is being investigated on suspicion of violating the u. s. espionage act. this is the 1st time a former us president has faced such suspicions in this act doesn't only specify acts of spy craft at all. so it also prohibits the miss handling of these sensitive documents for which trump is being investigated. now he has said that he declassified everything prior to leaving the white house and moving these records to his private estate. whether that it, that matters as a legal defense,

whether that helps his case is still to be determined. sir, heidi, what's next? in the justice department's investigation right there is still a long road to go. as of this point, there is probable cause that trump may have committed these crimes met with authorizing this investigation. but the justice department has not leveled charges criminal charges against the former president. and to do that, it would have to gather more evidence and make the half the consideration of whether charging a former president is in the public interest that has never been done before. and us history, and so it is uncharted waters and it will be only further complicated if trump decides to run for reelection when she has heavily hinted at doing in 2024. heidi really appreciate the update. as always, heidi j. castro live for us in washington. they say thank you. the agent for a claimed and controversial ortho salman rushdie says he's on

a ventilator after being stabbed at a literary event in new york state. he says wished he is likely to lose an eye and has suffered nerve damage to both him and his liver. 24 year old man has been arrested. kristen salumi vowed this report from you. he came to give a lecture about freedom of expression in the united states, but left on a stretcher headed to hospital and emergency surgery. police say the celebrated author, salman rushdie was stabbed in the mac and the abdomen. witnesses say it happened quickly. she had just walked on to the stage, was still being introduced less than a minute before the event began. after the event began, one and a man rushed from this audience up on to the stage and started punching or stabbing . it wasn't quite clear, but there was clearly some sort of blood or red liquid going in many directions. a collective sigh of shock from the audience with rusty's alleged assailant was

quickly taken into police custody in the attack to cried by local leaders. we're undeterred, and our commitment to make sure that we call it out. we condemn what happened. we condemn all violence and we want people to feel that freedom to speak and to write truth. salman rushdie was forced into hiding in 1989 after his book. the satanic verses was denounced by the iranian liter, ayatollah hala khomeini. many considered the book blasphemous in its portrayal of the prophet mohammed. but even before khomeini's ruling, it had a sparked protest and been banned in several countries. a bounty of $3000000.00 was offered to anyone that would kill the british author, but even as rushed, you was being burned and apogee. he was celebrate in the west and later knighted by great britain, many in the city did not believe that it amounted to an act of blasphemy,

nor indeed, did many in this world believe that he deserved to die for it. but those voices of moderation, and indeed those voices are more sexual dispensation. well crushed, more recently russia could often be seen a public advance. the lecture was expected to focus on the role of the united states as a home for free expression and an asylum for writers and other artist and exile. kristen salumi al jazeera new york. true to pass e is the executive vice president of the quincy institute for responsible. thank croft, he says, the motivations of the attack is still not clear he would most likely be born on the same year that the iranian government essentially declared that they are not going to be seeking sell on rashid's death. and they're not going to be aiding

anyone else to do so, even if not a for rescinding of the fact was because the facts were belongs to the top line, cannot be rescinded by the state, according to iranian practices. but they took this distance things from it, as part of the tree condition for the iranians and the united kingdom to restore diplomatic release. and ever since the picture against my worst, he seems to have decreased quite significant. but clearly not enough. there's still been elements inside of the iranian state that nevertheless are speaking of the slides. if it is still fully part of the volume a policy, we don't, no more, we have no indications as to whether this person has issued any suite from social media. ours yet left something to explain why he did this. i committed this crime, but it does appear unlikely that it is completely disconnected from the

picture. the larger picture of which range is not just from the original fact against him, by the home. any but also efforts by other groups later groups cheating his assassination to form a u. s. national security adviser to donald trump has described an alleged plot to kill him, is tantamount to an act of war. in an exclusive interview with al jazeera john bolton says, the evidence is overwhelming. washington accuses iranian revolutionary god, men by sharah or sophie of being involved in the plan. prosecutors say it was likely in retaliation for the us joint strike that killed or runs a late al could force late. i got some, some money in 20. 20 bolton spoke to my colleague carry johnston about the plus a little earlier. well, i think it's a very serious matter. i think be charging documents that the u. s. department of

justice filed last week and were unsealed a few days ago presented an overwhelming case that this is the government of iran targeting a former government official in this case me to, to try and attempt to assassinate. and as the charging document indicates, and as others have said, this, this threat extends well beyond me. a former secretary of defense mark as for former secretary of state, mike pompei, when number of other people whose names have not really become public or targets of the iranian government. and i think it's, it's very serious. it's tam out really to an act of war by iran against the united states. at the same time that the, the, the u. s. government is being urged to get back into the 2015 nuclear deal with iran, which i think is a huge mistake. now israel has been building relationships with the gulf states.

does that help or hinder the suffering that the palestinian people face? well, i think if you're confusing issues here, if, if, if you try and equate what's happening in iran with what's happening between israel and the palestinians. i think the real tectonic shifts in the middle east come from the growing realization that gulf arab states and israel have a lot more in common, a lot more to worry about from the threat from k, ron, than they have in opposition to each other. that's where the historic agreements to exchange full diplomatic relations with bahrain and the u. e. morocco, sudan had come from i think other arab states will join that in due course. i certainly hope that that's the case because they see the threat from iran similarly, and i think that's why it would be such a terrible mistake for the united states to ignore what its best allies in the

region are sang and go back into this nuclear deal. let me ask you a domestic us question if i may. yeah. what do you make of the f b i search of donald trump's halem. is there any conceivable reason why former presidents would be holding documents related to nuclear information as has been widely speculated at his home? well, i think you put your finger on it right there in your last comments. there's a lot of speculation here. there's very little hard evidence and speaking as an alumnus of the department of justice, i think that the, the department does its work in an honorable professional way. the search warrant was approved by a federal court, wasn't just executed by the f b i. but i think the fundamental point is, we don't really know enough to have an informed opinion. the justice department,

like most prosecutors in the united states, does its work in court, in its court filings in the appearances by its lawyers and court doesn't engage in public commentary on investigations or prosecutions. so right now we're having a, a, we're in a very heated political environment. a lot of rhetoric is being thrown around, but there's very little knowledge underlying that. i think it's possible in the coming days. we'll learn more. and then we can all have more informed opinions and in that heated environment. as you say, you think donald trump will run for president again and you think you should? well, i don't think you'll run again. i think i recognize that some minority position, but i think he knows he lost and 2020. he fears losing and 2024. he does not want to go down in history as a loser, and therefore he will, as usual talk incessantly about running right up until the last minute. but at that

point, he will try instead to be the kingmaker for the republican nomination. and i think, i think that's how it will turn out. i hope he doesn't, ron, i hope for the sake of the country. i po for the sake of the republican party, he does not run the us house of representatives has approved the biggest climate package in the country's history, in a major victory for president joe biden. the motion is adopted. the $370000000000.00 will be set aside to fight climate change. most of the money will come from tax reforms including a new 15 percent minimum tax on large corporations. investors looking to put money in to clean energy will be rewarded with a decade of federal subsidies. the bill will now be sent to biden, to sign into law. still ahead on al jazeera, a drought is declared the pads of england as temperatures continue to sole. while falling water levels in the river ran in germany and causing shipping delays,

ah, he has begun the, the full world copies on its way to catherine book, your travel package to the let's go with your weather forecasts for asia. so we had warned about this in karachi and it delivered look at this rain wind swept rain where the windshield wipers go and full blast. i think we're going to see a repeat of this on saturday. here's why we got this disturbance in the arabian sea . so that's chucking rain into crunchy right across in our province. so actually from jacob bad rate through to new washer. i think that's where we're going to see the heaviest downpours on saturday. now for india, once again, we've got something. it's getting going in the beer been gone, that's wip in rain around all sides. a weather alerts in play for both edition and westbank all states. certainly the risk of seen some flooding there. now for china,

it's looking like this. still rain locked in to the pearl river valleys. so some showers for hong kong at 31 degrees and look at this heat across the yang, super valley. yep. shanghai we've got in for 40 on saturday and another burst of rain to go for flood hit areas of sol. so that's certainly not good news. a tropical storm on our hands, it's going to run right into eastern portions of honju. this is going to dump a lot of rain for tokyo, so the teams thinking about 60 millimeters of rain but not just the rain. the winds will be a factor, his wall gusting to about 65 kilometers per hour on saturday. i'm gonna leave you here. i'll see you soon. i saw official airline of the journey. a 3 year investigation into the pro gun lobby. we've been in a really good with real secrets. you want to point put messaging out there, go get people out, race get of mad connections. some don't want to exposed many in legacy media.

love, mass shootings with my al jazeera investigations. how can seller mexico on al jazeera lou lou, hello, you're watching al jazeera. i'm emily anglin. he's a reminder of our top stories. this our, the agent for author, salman rushdie says he's on a ventilator after being stamped on stage and an event in new york state where she is 1988 novel, the satanic verses made him a target of death threats. rusty has undergone surgery, and a suspect has been arrested. donald trump is suspected of violating the espionage

act, the f. b. i seized classified documents from his arm or searching the former president of florida estates earlier this week. and for more of that story, let's bring in john malcolm who's from the heritage foundation, a conservative think tank. he joins us live from washington, d. c. john, thanks so much for being on this news. our. these certainly marks of dramatic escalation and the justice department's criminal inquiries into trump. do you think they will prosecute him? i have no idea. so they obviously obtain to search warrants, grabbed over about 10 boxes or so out of merrill lago. they have released the warrant, which says if they were looking for classified information or national defense information, and they provided an inventory that says some of the documents that were seized for labeled as confidential, secret or top secret. it does not say what the nature of the classification

was. president trump has said that when he, while he was so president, that he had declassified all of those records. president broad unilateral authority to declassify documents and at least one member, a high ranking official in his administration, is supporting that claim just on that before laying on it. even if he d classified the documents as he's saying that he did. there's a procedure in place for that, and if you follow that procedure, wouldn't the national archives know that and therefore not sees these documents? but i do know that the president has authority to approve this. there is some question whether he has that authority. if the information relates to nuclear weapons and they're going to moves about that. but you know, if the white house counsel's office failed to follow through with the procedure so that the national archive is to know that that does not mean that the doctor had

not been declassified. it just means that the market had been, i guess, looking at this no, broadly, specifically for an international audience. the reaction among republicans has been livid. republican members of congress, if you pay the f b i to nazis there been cause on social media for political violence. is this response appropriate and is this where the republican party wants to be? well, i certainly have not heard anybody refer to the f, b i as not to use or call for violence against f b. i ages, i should know by the way that i was a former federal prosecutor. i worked very closely with the aged for 10 years and i worked for a while. busy for about a year and directly under rish ray, i think what they are being charged with unprecedented action of rating a former president home and hypocrisy because nobody rated the home of you know, hillary clinton, former president bill clinton, when she had a private server that received the distributed classified information from her time, the secretary of state, there is the f. b,

i still recovering from the investigation that it undertook were alleged collusion between the prompt campaign and russia and its abuse of the foreign intelligence surveillance back process. and as late as last week, and chris re was grill, why a republican senator, who had received whistleblower information, but not only had people in the department of justice and the f. b, i falsely began the trunk rush collusion investigation. but they tried to shut down the hunter biden laptop investigation. so the f b i is being looked at as potentially engaging in a partisan abuse of the vast law enforcement authorities. that it, that it and has that has caused it to reaction. i have not heard anybody though calling for violence against f b i n g my thing that people aren't there or referring to the i is not just i certainly would. yeah. well i believe it was raja marshall who can pay the f b i to not seize anyway, moving on from that. let's take a look at

a more broader perspective. what does this mean for trumps political future? and does this help or hinder republicans going into the mid 10th? well, it's hard to say there are so many things that have happened as of late that you never know where she was going to drop next. i certainly think that republican voters are now riled off in a way in which they weren't. before i have received calls from friends of mine, why would have classified as never a trump burrs who are now certainly going to turn out to vote and have said that if from runs again, that would bolt for him. i think that this has marginally increased. the odds that he will run for president again, but you know, only he knows for sure. it certainly is a fascinating thing to walk, watch from a find not being in america. can you sort of describe the political climate at the moment? so people that on american o, it's toxic, it has been toxic for some time. we are a very, very closely divided country,

you know, going back to the 2000 election between george bush and al gore. you know, president trump one in 2016 with the plurality didn't attach a tax. the national jo, popular vote, and this was a very, very close and contentious election in 2020, which many people believed that there was ramp and cheating. the cost president trump, his re election. so certainly to toxic environment. other things have come in like the supreme court rulings on abortion. now this, who knows what's going to be next? yeah, and we'll, we'll be watching and waiting with baited breath. we appreciate your insights, john malcolm, from the heritage foundation, a conservative think take. thank you. my pleasure. moving on now and farm is in mexico as struggling to keep their heads alive during one of the worst droughts in 3 decades. just 10 percent of the dams across the country, a full with many saying levels drop well below half. july was the 2nd hottest month

in mexico since 953, pushing the government to declare a national emergency. extremely dry weather conditions across europe have rise fees about agriculture, wildfire and even the ability to trade. western europe is particularly hard hit with temperatures soaring. let's begin by taking a look at the united kingdom. a drought has been declared across large parts of england. the national farm is union is wanting that up to half of the potato carriage. and i mean, the harvests are likely to fail in germany. larger ships and badges can no longer navigate parts of the with a run. because of low water levels. cargo owners having to pay for multiple shipments to get their goods delivered because vessels assailing with reduced loads . and in france, wildfires have forced 10 tens of thousands of people from their homes. they use satellite monitoring services, 5 in france,

spain and portugal have already made 2020 to a record year in southwest europe. bennet smith begins our coverage with a look at the situation in france, firefighters in southwest france using everything they can lay hands on to beat back these rapidly spreading fires. 75 square kilometers of the year on region looks like this. drought and extreme temperatures have created an easily combustible mixture. natural navy screw that the de risk being complicated because the temperatures are going up and precipitation is dropping firefighters from across europe. these are romanian, have been drafted in to help fight the flames. this is an area that already caught fire caught fire again to the fire fighters of hot to come back and douse the flames. one of the challenges for them is because the temperature is so high and the ground is so dry. as soon as the water hits the ground, it evaporates. so it takes a lot more water and

a lot more effort to put out the flames. the risk of new fires is very severe, according to the local authorities. 10000 people have been evacuated from their homes. you know, he says via are still active along the edge of the 40 kilometer perimeter. advancing little by little. so we are trying to keep the same priorities we had at the start. that is to protect people who've been evacuated and will keep protecting all these home. villages here know they've had a lucky escape. these signs are everywhere, thanking the fire service for saving their homes up the 1st time i've seen the catastrophe like that above all, a catastrophe for the bio diversity. it's an enormous catastrophe. we're not going to have in a forest lake. it's really serial budget also. i'm carrying away bern trees from the roads, so that firefighters and volunteers and farm workers can get through and puts out as much of the fire if they can. the forests will eventually recover. but as the

planet warms, an extreme weather becomes more frequent, it might not be long before flames. licking up these trees again, bernard smith al jazeera in the year owned southwest france. so let's take a look at what the current wildfire risk looks like for western europe. the dark purple indicates an extreme fire danger. you can see that on the map in parts of western france in spain and belgium and the netherlands. red areas are at a very high or high risk of fire, and the orange shows a moderate risk of blaze. dominic cane is in berlin with more on those shallow waters. i mentioned earlier in the run. the main concern in germany and so far as these temperatures are concerned and rivers will, it's the rhine river. and let's be clear. it's not just germany, which is affected by the level of the rhine, switzerland, france, germany luxemburg, the netherlands. they all have a role to play in working at what is happening with the rhine. what matters in one

sense is that is now so much lower than it has been in recent months that certain types of ships can no longer apply their trade along this very large waterway. to give you an example, certain tankers of liquids, like liquid gas, and that sort of thing are now charging 5 and a half times more money per tonne. they transport and they were back in june. and the thing to say here is because there's so much less water physically in the river, it means that the depths of the river should have 4 ships to pass down. well, they're not the same depths any more. so now companies who are transporting particular goods are having to transport perhaps 2 or 3 boats, because the one boat they would use which could be fully load laden, cannot be a viral infection, has killed a thousands of cattle in india, some states have banned the transport of livestock and cancel the animal phase in

response to the outbreak, patent missile reports from john paul the this shed is disinfected every few hours. at least a dozen cows are quarantined here sick from a virus can disease. this rehab center, the state of rochester han is home to nearly 1700 animals. many are infected. white authority said the 1st potted symptoms 2 months ago. at iaapa she had the hydro, you'll be exit and you get a lot of calls from the city. some have been in the accident, even though you see it in garbage on the streets abroad. we check for symptoms when they're right. even those without symptoms are kept away from a herds for weeks and he lumpy skin disease is spread mostly by flies and mosquitoes. lumps like these start appearing on the skin, animals become weak and get fever. it's spreading fast. pounds of animals have died

across india. most of them are cows. roger times state is the worst effected. the disease emerged in zambia a century ago in recent fossil asia have reported cases here in india it regularly infected sheep and goes. this is the 1st time that thousands of capital have got the disease. the lottery babies finally on 15 cows like millions of others, their livelihood depends on cattle. she says she hasn't left them out in weeks if the model could. if they fell sick, it will impact the milk. we can also fall sick in our incomes will also fall on top of that. the treatment will cost us a lot of money. officials say that testing animals regularly, the gold box vaccine is been given across india. but some districts are reporting a shortage of medicines and doctors mil production has also reduced in some areas. i'm gonna click on.
