a very quick exit from the country. but since then, obviously he's been in 3 different countries. are seeking or his options are in many, many others as well. and it just seems that he was chick made at every turn. the countries that did horsed him, obviously these were temporary stairs. there was no talk of political asylum or anything like that. but the last place he was in thailand, the authorities we here had told him that he should confine himself indoors because there were security risks of him going out. so on his return i hate, which was confirmed by the public security minister to me when he was at the v v. i p lounge of the airport on arrival a he said he was very relaxed. now. good. i'll be roger potter has moved into an officially provided government bungalow. obviously his right as a former head of state. and what his options are in the coming days and months will

goes forward and, and whether he decides to stay quiet and i work behind the scenes and, and make sure that he and all of his family members stay safe or whether he actually tries to, to come back in some way i think that the, the, the protesters are going to wait and then give some time to the government to see whether this very recently assigned agreement with the i m f, will actually change things on the ground will improve the economic situation. but they are very angry about him having returned and they want elections, and that's not something that this government is likely to give them any time soon . the u. s. state department has approved a potential $1100000000.00 on sale to taiwan. the package includes anti ship missiles and radar systems. tension has been high since

you're watching all the 0 a reminder of our top stories this, our trailer is disgraced. former president is back home. less than 2 months after he fled during the nation's worst economic crisis since independence go to buy a roger pox. it was blamed for pushing tree longer towards financial disaster. supporters of argentine, as vice president gathered in buenos itis, after christina fernandez de kirshner, survived an assassination attempt outside her home. a man pointed a pistol at her at point blank range, but the gun did not fire the head of the you and atomic watchdog who was just returned from ukraine's appreciate nuclear plants says to members from his team will now be stationed there permanently. there are fears, any continued shelling in the vicinity could cause a nuclear disaster. f b. i. agents who searched former us president donald trump's home last month found dozens of empty folders marked as classified. that's according to a newly released court document that gave a detailed inventory of the $33.00 box is recovered. they include 18 top secret

government documents, $54.00 classified as secret, and another $31.00 deemed confidential. $48.00 empty folders with classified banners were also collected along with more than $10000.00 government documents without classification. there are also 42 empty folders marked returned to staff along with 25 books. particle haine has more from washington dc. just to take a step back here, let's go over what happened. so the trump lawyers went to a judge and a couple of weeks after the f. b, i searched mar largo, and they said they wanted a special master. basically that's an outside party to review the documents. what a lot of legal experts said that didn't make much sense because they waited so long . government agent's told the court luck. we've already read everything. and it allowed the justice department, which doesn't give press conferences on ongoing cases, it allowed them to basically make the argument of why they did that search in great

detail. and you just went over the huge numbers of classified top secret documents that they were found. now, one of the things i think that stood out most in this affidavit is that the justice department said this process is part of an ongoing process in active criminal investigation. so when the search 1st happened, some people wondered, well, was this the justice department just trying to get those classified documents back to where they belonged? but no, the justice department here is saying this is an active criminal investigation hinting that there could be some arrests. so you went over the numbers, one of the things that's going to be the most striking is those $48.00 empty folders with classified marking. so when you have a classified government document, it doesn't just sit there by itself. it goes into a color coded folder. so that you know exactly what level of classification there is. so what was supposed to be in those folders that's can be a big question. perhaps they're able to match it with some of the loose classified

documents they found. but it's going to, if they can't, they're going to be the question of where are those other class by documents this could lead to further searches of the president's property rarely has a constitutional process in a south american country, captured so much international attention as chillies, new draft constitution the proposed document will be put to the vote on sunday. many are describing it as a model for the future. yet in chile itself, recent poll suggests that could be rejected and sundays referendum from santiago, our latin america editor lucille newman reports. it's not unusual for hollywood actors like mark ruffalo to win on domestic politics. but why does the star of the hope care about chile specifically cindy's referendum on whether or not to approve an ambitious new constitution. earlier this week who followed tweeted that

the proposal represent hope to the world. one that has more equality and humanity and thoughtfulness and. and so i know a lot of great people worked on this and the world's looking towards you as a model to address the change of climate and the need for greater democracy. so lots of love and we are watching closely, not just actors, but in hundreds of intellectuals, scientists, environmentalists, human rights activists, economists and feminist from every continent. haven't dorothy chillies, draft constitution, which they describe as cutting edge. one of them is professor rich brandt. the constitution opens a space to rethink how the economy model, the social model and the role of indigenous peoples, the role of women, et cetera,

et cetera, and should be in the society of the 21st century. the constitution would be the 1st to specifically acknowledge climate change and environmental protection and guaranteed gender parity. it also introduces structural political and social reforms, such as guaranteed health, education, and pensions, as well as broad recognition of indigenous rights. and many international observers may always have jillions, like the land to vote against the new constitution. there are many reasons from this information about what it really says is that it is too radical, too vague, and that it will not guarantee no ability in this country. sebastian edward says, the devil is in the details and it's a very, i'm even never cried in the world political system which will create a lot of instability and uncertainty. and if there is uncertainty,

there's no investment. the constitution has polarized chilly, even as the majority of greek is socially unequal, country needs change. how much change though, seems to be the issue. you see in human al jazeera santiago, india's government has commissioned a new warship. the ins fit grants as the country's 1st domestically built aircraft carrier. india seem to be strengthening its naval fleet in response to china's growing military presence in the region. pop mitchell reports from new delhi. this is the 1st aircraft carrier to be made in india, the ins, the grant, whose name is the sanskrit word, book, powerful or courageous. after 17 years of construction and death, the war ship joined the navy with great pomp and ceremony. i taught at this today, india joins the countries that have built at large aircraft carriers with

despite india expressing concerns the vessel could track its missiles. china has also commissioned its own domestically built aircraft carrier, bigger and more powerful than the current experts say india has a long way to go before it can match china's military capabilities. india looks upon the indian ocean, the gym as its own backyard. and the chinese are very rapidly moving into the, into the ocean. so the carrier that has no been machine today and will be operational probably by the end of next year. just 2023. ah, the, the, the in the navy hopes to count good chinese aggression in this area. the navy says it wants to start building another warship. this would be bigger than be crohn and more powerful to count to china's growing might pop new met that al jazeera, you deli libby as national unity. government is unhappy with the u. n. chief's pick
