b. i. agents to search donald trump's home. officials entered the former, president's florida stay on the 8th of august. it's part of the prob, into whether he had illegally removed documents from the white house. an affidavit was used to gain approval for the search. so let's go to alan fisher joins us now from washington. what did this affidavit reveal about the, the basis for this investigation? or here it is all 30 pages. people were so anxious to don't load it. that actually crashed the department of justice's court document system earlier today. as you can see, a lot of pages are in fact, heavily redacted. in fact, 21 of the 30 pages are either completely or partially redacted. let's remind herself how we got to this point where an affidavit was needed for a search warrant earlier this year. donald trump and his team were cooperating with federal authorities and the national archive to return documents that had been

taken from the white house when donald trump left there. when they got 15 boxes, they went through those documents and find there was some highly sensitive documents there. no, using intelligence sources and also people that they spoke to witnesses names of which have been redacted. from the affidavit, they decided that they needed to go back in and do a thorough search of morality. or they believed that there were sensitive documents there that involved human intelligence that had been passed on. but if it fell into the hands of the wrong hands, then there would be a real problem there. first of all, it put lives potentially risk and it could do harm to the united states. they felt that those documents were not being held in a secure location. the said that there was the potential that the way the documents were being stored in the documents that were being stored. there was possibly 3 criminal acts being committed there. and they felt there was

a cover up an obstruction of justice. because of course, those closest to the present said, will you go all the documents know, and when it was initially reported that there were sensitive documents in those 15 boxes, those closest to donald trump said that was absolutely nonsense. so that is why the f b, i put together this affidavit and went to a judge and demanded that they be allowed to search the property. no, what has been said since the affidavit come out? well, we have a statement from donald trump. course went on to his trust social network and said that the affidavit is heavily redacted. with 3 exclamation marks. nothing mentioned on nuclear, a total public relations subterfuge by the f b i and the d o j and our close working relationship regarding document turnover. in capitals. we give them much that's not about what was given. it's exactly what was held back and what they had brightened president bite and he's been asked about donald trump and all of this, just as he was leaving the white house recently. and he said, look, the idea that

a president can declassify anything willy nilly is complete nonsense. and so he dismissed that idea. what's in the the affidavit, as well as a letter from donald trump's up a lawyer saying, look, the president has absolute authority to declassify any document. but he also suggests that movers took documents that the shouldn't have been and mar allegro, so that then poses the question. of why, how could donald trump declassified documents he didn't even know about? what is clear is that there is the potential here for obstruction of justice charges, but also the f. b i is talking about a threat to national security and national defense. and that would fall under the espionage act and the president or ex president would have neural defense. it up well, charges follow is certainly going to be a topic of discussion in the department of justice in the coming days. thank you very much. washington allen, fisher. one out or other top,

sorry this our in it as strike on the capital of ethiopia, nor then to gray region has killed at least 4 people according to the head of a local hospital. the city of mckayla is been at the center of a conflict between the government and local to grind forces, which began more than 2 years ago. central government denies that any civilians were killed and says it's only targets or military. to grind television showed images of damage, buildings and injured people. being attended to by the medical personnel strike comes just days after fighting on the ground resumed between federal forces and to grind rebels ending a months long cease fire samuel get to choose an independent journalist based in ethiopia, capital addis ababa and says, the ongoing conflict there is having a devastating impact on it to grime people. this is a humanitarian disaster by any one standard. the united nations and particular

w p. the road food program has been saying that half of the population at least and to grow, has been suffering in terms of a need for food aid that hasn't been able to be delivered. some have been delivered, but the european government has been saying it's a t p a left that's preventing some of the aid from arriving in to great. but the t p. f has been saying it's ethiopian side, so there has been a back and forth. it's been a catch 22, but this conflict has really affected millions of your parents. millions have been displaced up to 500000 ethiopia, died as a result of this conflict, according to researchers. so. busy it's a disaster by any one standard and this liter strike that happened earlier today has killed at least 4 people. but they to open government to saying they've been provoked by the t p. a left at which they have declared that t p a left as

a terrorist organization. so according to the children government, they're fighting a terrorist organization. while the t pin f is insisting that the p open government is preventing any kind of peace negotiation to go forward. ah, when our pakistan is declared an emergency after months of record monsoon rains, large part of the country has been devastated, causing what the government is described as a humanitarian disaster of epic proportions. villages is emerged in southwest and baluchistan and east in punjab, provinces, august, dance, climate change ministers as blue. she's done as receive nearly 500 percent more than the usual average rainfall in the month of august. in recent days, the southern send province has also been hit by flood waters. it's been battered by a staggering 784 percent more rain than it usually gets at this time of year.

and more than 30000000 people have been affected by fees, floods of the last few weeks, more than 900 people have been killed since the month of june. this includes at least 34 in the last day. these images are showing the flooded streets of the city of hydra bar in the southern province ascend. one of the was to areas countries disaster agencies saying the $220000.00 homes have been destroyed. half a 1000000 of 5 is damaged destruction of infrastructure in a breakdown in communications linked as further hampered rescue and relief efforts focused on is called on the international community for help in that would know how to come to us. my full house has have been destroyed, it was hung, then i have to wade through this water to get to the market, buy groceries. ive wounded my feet, walking through it out of i said we tried to flush water out of our home through a motor or using 10 boxes. the water is everywhere. as you can see,

no one is coming to help us. or they must, ramsey has been out and some of those affected areas. he reports just now from so one sissy and sin province. driving into interior, sin villages, communities all across this province remain almost completely water logged as we were driving up. people had blocked the roads with rocks. these were just regular folks. poverty stricken really struggling, just asking for any sort of help asking for any sort of money. this is a very, very, a struggling part of the country. and as you can see, people live here in very basic conditions. most of these houses are all mud and brick dwellings, very basic transition. and so when the water comes rushing through and when these areas become so water log, you don't even need very strong currents for the water to slowly eat away at the foundations of these buildings. that are eventually knocked over just dissolving in a way into the water that is still here and, and more is coming. this struggle here is very,

very acute. seen this still the worst effect of place in terms of the humanitarian need in terms of damage to infrastructure. people need shelter, the government has asked for 1000000 tense, and that's just the initial ask to house people in the interim period before a permanent solution to this crisis can be found which may not be forthcoming before things get worse. we've seen images from the north of the country and swap. the valley of more strong currents coming down from rains in glacial melts. more strong currents washing away buildings tearing through hillsides, tearing through villages up there. and all that water is headed down to the south of the country and it's headed this way so there may be more struggle ahead for community living here in san then in bill or just on progress in the south park in while a neighboring afghanistan floods there affecting several provinces, the ne and pension province is the latest to be hit by heavy rains. several houses and crops have been destroyed. on thursday, the taliban announced 182 people had died across the country. or here,

government. we kind of need them to support small businesses so that we can support the local community as opposed to giving tax cuts to the companies who would put it up and take it to the payment islands. but it was a poor package for consumers, amounts by boris. johnson's government earlier in the year now looks woefully insufficient. that is clearly now going to be augmented. increased by extra cash. good to the government is plainly going to be a nancy in september. that's not his job anymore, though. in a few weeks, either richie soon, our call is trust will be announced as johnson successor, and there are no prizes for guessing what the 1st crisis and i'll be facing is, will reach helen's al jazeera london, does energy prices sore across europe. it appears that russia is burning off large amounts of natural gas. a large flame can be seen at the, for a to via gas compressor plant, close to the border with finland. it's one of the main pumping stations for the

according to the head of a local hospital. local media showed images of damage, buildings and they've been injured. the central government says it only targeted military sites and pakistan is declared a national emergency after months of record monsoon rains. large parts of the country have been devastated. a more than 30000000 people are affected cause the government is described as a humanitarian disaster of epic proportions. now in our stories are following this, our, the drug company, madonna, is suing pfizer and by on tech, accusing them of copying its technology to make their corona virus vaccine. the u. s. farm says it's rivals cove at night. rivals cove at 19 shot infringes on patents . it filed several years ago, and we're donor and pfizer bind at vaccines a both based on m r n. a technology which madonna claims as its own. dominant. kane has more now from berlin. the essence of this law suit revolves around 2 specific allegations by materna that pfizer and biotech working together have appropriated

or taken without asking 2 specific branches of research. the 1st being in the view of mariner that although pfizer and bio tech had worked on 4 separate m r n a chemical combinations, they ended up going with exactly the same one that more darren are alleges it already had patient for several years before the corona virus outbreak, we now know took effect. the 2nd revolves around an assertion from materna that they believed that pfizer and by on tech have adapted technology that were down as say they elaborated on when the mergers problem emerged in the middle east several years ago. now it is worth saying that pfizer and bon tech have said they will always contest these sorts of patent lawsuits. but one thing to bring into perspective about the uptake of mo, jonah and the uptake of pfizer and by on tech vaccines here in germany,

at least in the course of this calendar year, pfizer biotech vaccines more than 4 times as many of their shots have been injected into people as have materna. materna says this lawsuit is all about protecting its intellectual copyright. a submarine has managed to reach the rack of a boat that sank off the coast of tripoli. 4 months ago it dozens of migrants on board. they were on their way to europe and were intercepted by the lebanese navy. but what happened next is still unclear. st. honda reports from they were, it bodies have been found close to and inside a ship wreck off the coast of northern lebanon. that ship was carrying some $85.00 passengers would be migrants trying to make their way to europe. they were intercepted by the lebanese army, the boat eventually sunk. now there are conflicting versions on what exactly happens. passengers say the army rammed their vessel on the boat and the boat sunk

. but the army says it was overloaded and crammed with people. small submarine paid for by donations because celebrities authorities do not have the equipment to be able to find the ship wreck, nor did they have the money to rent a tiny submarine. so donations the tiny submarine found those bodies. some of them nothing was left just clothing. others according to the pilots, were inside the ship rec, they're still identifiable and somehow intact. what is not clear is how they are going to bring this ship back up to sure. 450 meters. this is not going to be an easy, easy operation. so they say that they're going to study their options in the next 2 days. now will this bring closer to the family members who have been saying time and time again, that their their, their loved ones were trapped inside the vessel when it's sunk,

women and children among them. it's unlikely one of the things as we but around the read and knows how to salvage the, the rec, so deeply buried in the souls point out will be all those will, will certainly break correct um and will most definitely deserve to arrest them. um which is if they, if he is from iraq now ara hundreds of follows. if she a leader my tender al sadi read held friday prayers in the 4 to 5 greens on the rights capital. baghdad supports have been camped out the a parliament for a month now after initially stalling the legislature demanding new elections. political leaders have been unable to form a government 10 months after parliamentary pulse or at, you know, 1st of all,

we are staying until our demands are met. finally, the 1st demand is the resignation of parliament, the law because the parliament doesn't represent the people how to prevents the corrupt and the neighboring countries have to do in our 2nd demand. the change in the judiciary counselor was done. welcome our debt these demonstrations in iraq or in support of our reference and leda, and is represented by the leader of reform, mac tada, asada. so we are waiting for orders and already we are not retreating and we remain in place. we wait for orders and for instructions, and i wanna double or now after years of talks and international efforts to improve protection of our oceans is awaiting the outcome of the un conference ending later on friday. unlike other records, the u. n. 's global ocean treaty would be a legally binding document. it includes a proposal to declare 30 percent of the walls, oceans as conservation areas by 2030. the move would been over fishing and see life

exploitation and protected zones. negotiations of also addressed environmental assessments for deep sea mining, which involves the retrieval of minerals such as cobbled from ocean beds. another concern is the rise in shipping, which has increased more than 1600 percent in 40 years. more pollution is reading biodiversity and driving industrial fishing further off shore. stephanie decker has more now oceans cover around 70 percent of our planet. and under the waves, a ballet of marine life, a magical gliding world that works in perfect symbiosis. but the reality is far from perfect over fishing, deep sea mining and suffocating tons of plastic pollution. but a few of the reasons we are killing this underwater world. we certainly appreciate that we live on a blue planet. the ocean connects us all. sadly,

we have taken the ocean for granted, and to very we face was, i would gall a notion emergency. we must turn the tides. but that tide is proving hard to turn. the united nations has been trying for 10 years to pass a treaty to protect the high seas or international waters. a strong treaty would mean 30 percent of our oceans would be protected by 2030, sorry to say this is the absolute minimum needed to protect the oceans. and talks are once again taking place in new york to find a deal. but activists are not hopeful. the negotiations all really having by a thread because we have not seen politicians come good on that promises to secure a strong global ation. tracy of the last few weeks in new york, we really seen at the countries that call themselves the high ambition coalition, really become the no ambition coalition at you know, countries and glazing, the us, and canada,

scientists of war. and that it is now or never when it comes to changing our ways in order to prevent our planet from further heating and driving multiple species on land and at sea to extinction. imagine never again seeing scenes like these. the du gong, or c cow gathering off the coast of cat are in huge numbers, but many end up dead as a result of getting caught up in fishing nets known as by catch one of the main reasons why they are endangered cutters. water is also serve as a stopping point for migratory whale sharks, hosting one of the largest aggregations in the world. i swam with them for previous report of mine. gentle giants, or inspiring to watch them feet feeling like a tiny, insignificant, yet privilege guest in their world. our oceans feed, us, sustain us, give us life. they host such

a diversity of perfection and beauty. it shouldn't be hard to understand and to implement the urgent need to protect them. stephanie decker, al jazeera cat are now russia's invasion of ukraine is seen a rise and nationalism among ukrainians. that's most about in places like a desa where attempts and now being made to distance, the city from its russian influences to raise a bow. has this story now from odessa? ah, an opera about ukrainians leaving under oppression? ah, it's also a love story whose characters are constantly fighting to return to their land. it's being staged in all this has opera house. the conductor says the plays now more symbolic than ever. as his country's fighting a russian invasion, nurses ashes because we're working in difficult conditions and everything we do is aimed at winning the school. everyone is in that place. my son is on the front line

. this was also known as the part of the black sea under the russian empire, around 80 percent of the population speaks russian. and many thought that the me to put things invasion would be widely welcome here. but that was not the case. many people believe. so if you speak russian, you want to go to russia, you're, you will wait for ashen all me here. know, odessa is mainly russian speaking city, but it's ukraine. c t and that's supported by a sense of nationalism on the streets since the war began. ukrainian flag had been proudly displayed, defining an identity that has only become stronger in the past month. the russian invasion has many people here in rethinking this history. this is the statue of catherine, the great, the russian empress. and now there's an online petition to demolish the statue and

replace it with something else. dozens of volunteers have come together at this n d o to make military camouflage nets from textiles and old clothes. it seems that washes attacks has given many people here, a common goal, helping defend their country in any way they can come up with like say, going, chatting affairs. he supports called to remove all russian symbolism from the city, because it could make put him believe or this that belongs to russia. we don't want to see russian empire and russian emperors, a lot of russian, russian presidents, nobody russian here. we finished with this and fire were not part of the fire anymore for decades. and finally, the whole world to realize it. and i think that even putting realize to the operating odessa, provide an escape from the reality of the russian invasion.
