there is evidence that the spec centuries and got duffy came to power. he showed to everybody, our culture became illegal to name our children. emma's names. he removed our culture from history books, but we preserved our culture and secret. younger view played an important role in the revolution that toppled long time leader wal mart. outlaw their time of life language. now, after more than a decade, they are able to open celebrate their heritage and culture. although libya has been engulfed in violence and political divisions since 2011 the amazon, you'd say they're happy with their new found freedom. ah. the u. s. department of justice names

a special council to investigate the discovery of classified documents and president j biden's home and former office. ah. and i why money inside this is alan, is there a lie from dr. also coming up? ukraine says it's true to holding off against a fierce russian offensive in the town of sola dar, but warns the situation it's difficult. standing up against al, sure. bob protest as in somalia on so the government's cool to demonstrate against the armed group. i. 2 and they're not backing down. support is a per, is else did president peddler castillo back on the streets, demanding new elections? ah,

a special council has been appointed to investigate u. s. president joe biden's handling of sensitive government documents. a 2nd set of papers has been found this time at his private home in delaware. the 1st batch of files was on covered at one of biden's former offices 2 months ago, but was only made public on monday and white house correspond. kimberly hawkins has a story. the discovery of a 2nd batch of classified documents. this time inside the garage of president jo biden's private residence, has made it difficult for bided to quell this latest political controversy. people know, i take classified documents, classified material seriously. whitehouse lawyers revealed the documents for found recently and relate to biden's time as vice president under president barack obama . the white house lawyers and says they immediately turn the documents over to the national archives. still,

the department of justice is appointing us attorney robert her as special counsel to investigate whether biden broke the law. i will ensure that mister her receives all the resources he needs the conductor's work. the white house insist it's cooperating and is denying any impropriety. it's in the statement of her from his lawyer, richard, somber, and at the end, he said, we are confident that they are thorough review will show that these documents were inadvertently misplaced. still, it's in administration under increased scrutiny. earlier this week, while biting was at a summit in mexico, the white house admitted lawyers found similar secret papers and a washington d. c. think tank called the pen biden center. the president says he doesn't know what's in those documents, but the discovery has prompted charges of hypocrisy. in january 2022 classified documents were found at the florida residents of former president

donald trump. a justice department special council is also looking into that case. biden has called trump totally irresponsible from his handling the classified materials, another fo paul by the, by an administration, but treating lot differently based upon your political beliefs. each one president trump one way, but treats president by the whole different way. president biden's republican critics are also questioning why it took so long for the biden administration to reveal the existence of the documents. the 1st batch was discovered on november 2nd just days before the congressional mid term election. it only became known to the public this week. kimberly held can al jazeera the white house as get more on this with karen green bug. she's direct of the center national security at fordham

university school of law. she joins us from westchester in new york. thank you for your time. now. one of the questions being raised here is the timeline. why didn't the bod and administration notify the public immediately that these classified files had been found in his home on former office? i mean, the white house law is defense. seems to be that they were following g process, but as a legal expert does that ring true to you? you know, i think we're going to find out more about this as we go along. i see that the fact is that they did turn them over that they did follow process and getting them over . they could have done it faster. i'm sure the allegations are the net something to do with the election, but i actually think that it's more questions or more about whether whether they were turned over or not. and they were and were turned over and readily and i think that going forward, that's going to be pretty much of a red herring. ok, so what do you make of the attorney general's decision to appoint

a special counsel to investigate biden's handling these documents? i mean, does it on the line to you, the gravity of the discoveries? no, it underlines to me the fact that there are regulations and the mirror, carla and attorney general mark arledge very much want to look like he's going by the book in this. and that the book says that there needs to be a follow up on the movie on burning of documents that are not returned as they were fired by law to beach, to the public. and that they need to be given to the national archives. i actually think these 2 cases are very much apples and oranges. you have a case in somebody who willingly for a long time and defiantly refused to turn over documents. we're talking about 100 documents. in the case of trump, we're talking about less than doesn't. in the case of bible, we know for a fact that some of the trunk documents are highly secretive, highly classified documents. we don't know anything of the store about by them. and

i think in a way this is just a misuse of our, of our attention and where our attention needs to be over so many important issues . but i think that's why garland didn't, if he wants to be seen as age attorney general, who goes by the book and probably thought that in this way he could camp down some about political activation going back both ways across the i'm not sure to work that way i think the sooner that age get to make some conclusions with fever, special master, about the bio document, and let us know what they are, the better whether or not there was any can't or whether it was just sort of negligence and, and whether or not it was by knew whether or not it was somebody else. we have fewer questions about that when it comes to trump. and the issue of intent is important in both cases and fundamentally seems to separate. okay,

so we have the appointment of robert. what do you know about him and how long will an investigation take? well, that's what i would do. so i think we know very little about him right now, except that he was appointed by trump. and i'm assuming that mirror garland tried to pick somebody who could be fair and open about the process or as we know it now, there are very few documents. so this may be something that can be done very quickly. there may be some sense of how they got misplaced, misplaced them, whether it was knowingly or not. what kind of intent, if any, there was, and i think that should be done very quickly. we're not talking about the amount of documents we're talking about in the trunk case, nor do i think we're going to find the kind of pushback from biden. he's already indicated that he will not try to instruct this. and so, because there won't be delays coming from from biden,

i think this to go very quickly and i think it's really good to get your thoughts current. greenberg direct at the center national security of fordham university school of law. thank you. ah, ukraine says its force as a sale, holding on to the east and town of solid dob at fighting is tough. as despite the russian mercenary, wagner group saying is taking control of the town where the criminal has warned against declaring a victory prematurely suggesting that fighting is not over. ukraine has said the battles in this area have been some of the bloodiest in this war so far. okay. even the rush we're fighting is face in the solid, our direction, the back march. despite the difficult situation, ukrainian soldiers, desperately fighting rusher is trying to break through al defense lines without any

describing survey shall i give. he's also clashing with that regional governors legacy, petersburg governor, as under bad law, and he's rumored half political aspiration as of his own. private military armies are unconstitutional in russia, but the wagner group has grown to become an informal, an unofficial unit of the regular russian army de wagner. group 1st appeared during the annexation of crimea in 2014, in 2015 about 300 fighters were sent to the dumbass to support the russian backed separatists. the group has also operated in places like syria, central african republic, libya and malley, among others. initially about 300 wagner contractors took part in the invasion of ukraine in february 2022. their mission, according to ukraine and western officials, capture and killed president vladimir zelinski by march. their presence had triple to 1000. and the pentagon currently estimates at least $50000.00 fighters operating

an eastern ukraine of which only $10000.00 r contractors. the remaining 40000 r convicts. russia initially called the invasion, a special military operation that would quickly achieve the kremlin schools. but it's told and russia had to rethink its military strategy. that's when the role of this private army became more prominent in easton ukraine with the support of the regular army or how it says it could be right. as a usually i have some kind of divisional responsibility. russian regular. i'm it usually a science edition. and i know this fucking group. i've used a special i units a soldier. so norcross, i suppose, a stormy or some of the defense horn too far. now. ukrainian

the group also enjoys a legal loophole which allows its mercenaries to operate more freely. they are glorified in a recently released movie, funded by the group pulled the best in hell. even though the wagner's group has been accused of human rights abuses in several countries, it operates in them. if salita falls, if were paid to wait for the russian army to head south towards buck, mood, and west towards chroma torque, it will also likely increase the popularity of de wagner's group among russians. for to blurring the lines between the private and regular armies hooked up to la l g 0 and people in peru marching once again demanding the removal of the current lead. and dina, when the want, say, which is taking life pictures, the in the capital lima, you can see the crowds have gathered her just broke out across the country. last
