weapons, audio, castro reports from washington. how do you feel, mr. john? never before has a former u. s. president been suspected of violating the espionage act? according to the warrant authorizing the f b, i search of trump's estate. trump may have kept documents that could endanger national security and may have destroyed or concealed presidential records. this week, federal agents removed 11 sets of classified documents from our lago war sets were labeled top secret, and reportedly may contain information about nuclear weapons. many lesser people have gotten prosecuted for doing a small fraction of what it appears that donald trump has done witches. and taken the single most highly classified documents, united states government has, has taken picking them to his home, others. these documents relate to french president emanuel micron and to trump

pardoning of his close associates. roger stone. trump says he declassified all materials he and aids took from the white house. he and republican supporters called the investigation a political witch hunt president donald trump is job idence, most likely a political opponent in 2024. and this is less than $100.00 days from critical mid term elections. the f. b, i rate of president trump is a complete abuse and overreach of its authority. the department of justice says it and the f. b, i are acting independently. biden has remained silent, and while some democrats say this is trump getting his, do others urge caution? i think for the most part, people want to see the process play out. i agree with that. i don't want to interfere with what law enforcement is doing. but i think it would be wrong to take the position because this person is a former president. now 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's running for president again, because charging a political candidate could be seen as election interference. heidi jo, castro, al jazeera washington, the acclaimed uncontroversial author. salman rushdie has been stamped at a literary event in new york state. his agent says he's on a ventilator and has nerve damage to his arm and liver. lisa arrested, a 24 year old man christian for me, reports from new york. 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 leader, 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 just ation 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. christian silly me al jazeera, new york poetry to parties from the quincy institute. he says, the attack, as motivations are still not clear, he would most likely be born on the same year 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 aiding anyone else to do so, either it's not a for rescinding of the fat while 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 the tree condition for the iranians and the united kingdom to restore diplomatic relations. and ever since that, that picture against my worst, he seems to have decreased quite significant. but clearly not enough. there's still been elements inside of your audience that nevertheless are 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 of 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 ranges not just from the original front door against them by i for the whole many, but also our efforts by other groups later groups seeking his assassination the full, my us national security advisor to donald trump has described an alleged plot to kill him as tantamount to an act a war. in an exclusive interview with al jazeera john bolton says, the evidence is overwhelming. washington accuses the iranian revolutionary god member chevron. for sophie of being involved in the plan, prosecute to say it was probably retaliation for the 2020 us drunk strike that killed ron's elite. i'll could force lita, cost them to the money. i think the charging documents that the u. s. department of justice filed last week and were unsealed

a few days ago. present an overwhelming case that this is the government of iran targeting a former government official and his case made it to, to try and attempt to assassinate. and as the charging document indicates, and as others have said, 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 are targets of the iranian government. and i think it's, it's very serious, it's is tantamount 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. us horses will conduct exercises in the taiwan straits in the coming weeks. the white house, as the drills will reflect its response to china's military operations in the

to visit came as of the way up front to presidency. all these private goals and warning to read by. so this is at the front and the taiwanese people moving more away from the mainland to get with it. i want to remain that most taiwanese people do lots of occasion, but all to be there to be great events and you want to put. busy on the status quo or ever, however, it's not an option because this is he has a play, play it 2049 is the after that, that line on the vacation, which is the 100. and it was 3 of the part of it. farmers and mexico are struggling to keep their heads alive during one of the worst routes and 3 decades. just 10 percent of dams across the country of foot. levels are dropped well below half in

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 and wildfires, arranging as temperature sore and parts of france firefighters and other areas of europe have not been brought in to help bernard smith as more from boston's in the sharon 5 fighters 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. casual navies could de risk being complicated because the temperatures are going up, and precipitation is dropping firefighters from across europe. these are romanian,

a catastrophe for the biodiversity. it's an enormous catastrophe. we're not going to have enough horse left. it's really serious. i should know who i'm clearing away . burnt trees from the roads so that fire fight is in volunteers and farm workers can get through and puts out as much of the fire as 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 on southwest france and a drought been declared across large parts of england, 9 of the past 12 months of n drive, the normal across the u. k. the national farmers union says up to half of the potato, carrots and onion harvests, would probably failed. where we challenged reports. nice weather for ducks is what they say in england when it rains while this is anything but it's the driest sama for 50 years grasses shrivelled to straw. the ground has cracked reservoirs and
