5:04 am
i don't want to interfere with law enforcement is doing, but i think it would be wrong to take the position because this person is a former president. you know, we should look the other way when there could be violations of a lot. the justice department must now decide whether to charge trump with a crime, which would be a 1st in american history. and the decision would be further complicated if trump now says he is running for president again. because charging a political candidate could be seen as election interference. heidi jo castro, al jazeera washington. the agent for a claimed and controversial author salman rushdie says he is on a ventilator after being stabbed at a literary event in new york state. he says rusty is likely to lose an eye and has suffered nerve damage to both and, and he's liver a 24 year old man has been arrested kristen salome reports from neil. 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,
5:05 am
police say the celebrated author, salman rushdie was stabbed in the mac and the abdomen. witnesses say it happened quickly. she had just walked onto 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 are 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
5:06 am
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 sparked protest and been banned. in several countries, a bounty of $3000000.00 was offered to anyone that would kill the dish author. but even as rushed, you was being burned and apogee. he was celebrate in the west and later nighted by great brin, many in the city did not believe that it amounted to an act of blasphemy, nor indeed did many in the world believed that he deserved to die for it. but those voices of moderation, and indeed those voices are more just ation well crushed. more recently, russia could often be seen at public events. the lecture was expected to focus on
5:07 am
the role of the united states as a home for free expression and an asylum for writers and other artist and exile. christian, silly me, al jazeera, new york, true to pass easy executive vice president of the quincy institute for responsible stake craft. he says, the motivations of the attack are still not clay. he would most likely be born on the same here that the iranian government, essentially, to clear that they are not going to be seeking sell on rushes death. and they're not going to be ating anyone else to do. so either it's not a for rescinding of the fact, because the phosphor belongs to the ayatollah cannot be rescinded by the state, according to iranian practices. but they took this distance thing from it, as part of a pre condition for the iranians and the united kingdom to restore diplomatic relations. and ever since that picture, against my worst,
5:08 am
he seems to have decreased quite significant. but clearly not enough. there's still been elements inside of the iranian state that nevertheless our speaking of that. or if i feel as if it is still a fully part of the volume state of policy. we don't know more, we have no indications as to whether this person had issued any tweaks on social media. our 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, which range is not just from the original photo against them by i for the whole many, but also our efforts by other groups later groups seeking his assassination. if only us national security advisor to donald trump has described an alleged plot to kill him as tantamount to an act of war. in an exclusive interview with al jazeera

a record year in southwest europe. bernard 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. lateral navies could that play 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 have 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
5:22 am
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 both says via are still active along the edge of the 40 kilometer perimeter. advancing little by little so we are trying to keep the st priorities we had at the start. that is to protect that people have been evacuated and will keep protecting all these home. villages, hey, i 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 enough forest left. it's really theory over budget also who i'm clearing away, burned 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
5:23 am
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. and he's a look at what the current wild fire risk looks like for western europe. dark purple indicates an extreme fire danger. you can say that in parts of western europe front, for example, spain and belgium and the netherlands. the red areas are at a very high or high risk of fire, and the orange shows a moderate with the fire. dominant cane is in berlin with more on those shallow waters. we mentioned 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
5:24 am
a role to play in working out 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 than 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 that the river should have for ships to pass down. well, they're not the same depths anymore. so now companies who are transporting particular goods are having to transport perhaps 2 or 3 boats because the one but they would use which could be fully load laden, cannot be farmers in mexico is struggling to keep their heads alive during one of the worst droughts in 3 decades,

5:26 am
we were told that the drought is largely related to the weather phenomenon known as linear, which is known to disrupt traditional weather patterns. and in the case of northern mexico, a rainy season that was supposed to come in may never came. experts say the impacts of linea are being exacerbated by climate change. and we should note that the month of july is the hottest recorded in mexico since 953, meaning that these extreme he conditions are not doing anything to help alleviate the ongoing crisis. supporters and opponents of influential, she laid him a tara l sat. i have rallied in iraq's capital, both sides gathered outside the green zone, new parliament seta has urged his supporters to keep up the demand for political reform. after months of deadlock, last month, thousands of them stormed the parliament building twice, muscle and l y head was at the counter processed just outside back that screens on wow, even gently, a neighborhood nearby dodge degree zone. supporters of the radian parliamentary
