6:00 am
anything conservative talk radio created the republican party. ok, one of the 2 parts, especially on the jersey to the . ready georgia grand jury investigating donald trump's attempts to overturn the us 2020 election issues and criminal indictments. but it's not clear with the for the former president, the other one darn jordan, this is obviously or not from the coming up. west african nations condemned the decision binders as 2 leaders to prosecute the house of precedents for treason. the flashes in libya's capital frequently to the detention that nobody will come on on hawaiians,
6:01 am
governor wants the best, told him while fine is on my we could rise from 9 to 9, a search to scotland on top of the up on jewelry in the us state. of georgia has issued 10 indictments and it's an investigation into donald trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential elections. those charge in the case in georgia, have not yet been named. the former president has been criminal, indicted 3 times so far this year. well, obviously it was john henry and joins us live now from atlanta. john instead of georgia, grand jury has issued these 10 indictments. what can you tell us about the charges jump as well for the 4th time, donald trump has been convicted of crimes against the country that he was governing . these charges include racketeering. one of several charges against donald trump,
6:02 am
and that is listed as a serious felony. all the rest are listed as felony. what that means is that this is a charge that carries a cent instead of up to 20 years in prison and here in georgia, there was a minimum sentence of 5 years in prison. so was a very serious charge for a man who's trying to be elected president one time again, they were also as many as 18 other people who have faced indictment on this same list of documents. and they include the former white house, chief of staff, mark meadows, the include rudolph giuliani, the president's former personal attorney who had been leading the campaign to suggest that trump had won that election. something never was proven. and that is the basis for these charges. also, john eastman and other attorney can cheese burrito and jeffrey clark, who was a senior justice department official, who, according to the indictment, was willing to make a statement and actually drawn up
6:03 am
a document suggesting that there were serious concerns by the justice department. that document was never issued because there were a lot of other people near trump campaign who were not comfortable with it. but what this means is that the president, the former president phases of force, varied serious indictment. and unlike the 2 federal indictments faces one in washington, d. c, for his efforts to overturn the election and his efforts around the january 6th 2021 interaction you face is a charge charges of mishandling documents in florida. those are federal charges as well. and he faces charges in new york state for a scheme to pay off a former porn star. he allegedly had an affair with to quiet her head of the election. this one would be another very serious series of charges against the former president. and you know, state charges, unlike the federal charges, if he becomes the president, he doesn't have the pardon rights over those state charges. so these would be very,
6:04 am
very difficult for him to get rid of some very serious charges. facing the former president of the united states, among the most serious in those 4 series of indictments. and there are a number of people in that trump orbit who are also listed under those indictments . and that means this is really the most wide reaching case so far in terms of the number of people named. don't have to say it will be the full set of indictments against the former president. how is this log into effect is run for the white house next year. then with a crazy thing, is it the more often he's indicted? the more money he raises. and believe it or not, the higher his poll numbers go. among republican voters, it seems counter intuitive, but those voters, according to polls seem to feel that attack on him is an attack on his voting base
6:05 am
as well, but no more technical sense. there is nothing of the constitution that says you cannot run for president. if you've been convicted of a clause, there's an exception for treason, but that's not exactly what these charges are. one could make the argument that he should not be able to run again because of that, but that would be something that would have to be tested in court. and of course nothing like that has ever happened before. so now trump can continue going forward with his campaign. his campaign is already issued a statement saying these charges could have been leveled more than 2 years ago. busy he said they're just in attempt to de rail his efforts to win the presidency again. all right, touch on 100 life us the in atlanta, john, thank you. as no time as the economy grew at a slower rate than expected in july, the latest data from beijing shows miss targets in industrial production and retail . katrina, you joins us live now from beijing with the latest katrina. so what does the base data tell us about the state of a chinese economy that well,
6:06 am
what it tells us is that china is economic growth is faltering. we've had disappointing economic data today on choose a across the board. and let me just give you a sense of some of those statistics. now these are year on year, so it goes. so industrial output grew by 3.7 percent missing an expectation of 4.4 percent retail sales. we buy $2.00 missing full cost of $4.00 and real estate sales fell like 8.5 percent. yet one yes. and another key economic indicate to use unemployment was not released at o as it usually is, every month and the, the tiny future of statistics. the same. the reason that they are not going to release this figure going forward is because of some social changes. and some changes in the measurements of this figure and this is off the you sign employment by the way, hit a record high of 21.3 percent in june. and now we see already some very angry comments on label in china is
6:07 am
a social media with people saying that the figure really must be so terrible, but the government is now refusing to release it going forward. now what analysts have put of this overall economics was situation of china down to is a variety of things um, much of it is a continuing retail consumer confidence slumped up following the pandemic mounting government debt and also softening demands from overseas and katrina. what options then has the government taken so far as well? just before releasing this economic jobs or china is central bank cut a key interest rate on one year lords by the motors that has been cut since 2020. and that was down to 2.5 percent and during the press conference releasing all of this done. so they said they were working to stabilize you unemployment and unemployment generally. and that they would be trying to low risk in the policy sector by optimizing policies. now that sounds so follow very vague, we don't have any details as to what that really means,
6:08 am
but we do know that last month staging released a raft of measures, mainly targeting boosting. also sales from apply and sales. the government also pledge support for the private sector, but as i said, those measures the point targeted policies. and so far we have not seen any major stimulus rollouts by nature. all right, to continue your life as the invasion. katrina, thank you. now the west african regional blog echo as has condemned the decision of monsieur as miniature rulers, to prosecute the deposed president. for treason that cool, and yet another provocation advisor, whom was ousted and detained off the minute tracy's power last month the you and it's cool. the developments warming ok. maybe just reports from catalina in neighboring nigeria. things are getting more complicated for the just the post president, one of my buses, 3 weeks after the cool is for my gods, one to charge him with treason after 2nd here or lose everybody julia, i really assist you the government of needs. you have to date,
6:09 am
gather the necessary evidence to prosecute before the competent national and international authorities, the ousted president, and his local and for an accomplices, for high treason and undermining the internal and external security of nisha. following his exchanges with the national was a 4 and a heads of state and heads of international organizations is on g political community to say, while the charges against best weight. they could also be a power struggle play out the dentist, you know, because silenced by you as a president and then possibly ends on life. because once he's convicted, it means he's spend that is that he's going to spend the rest of his life in prison . and he'll know bedroom, that be relevant for you getting these yet. the problem is that chances are they are for i'm assuming what wrapped in the yeah. the charges come always have time to take on a military base in the to live here to region. most of the kept doing. yeah. me that cute 7. so just it's
6:10 am
a fault such attacks as administered to power. last month. the courtney decide the lack of security is one of the main reasons they over through the democratically elected president. but with these attacks on the rise, people are beginning to question the motives of the cool. on sunday senior, really just figures from nigeria met me. shes cletus who stated a willingness to negotiate with the region of buck echos the enabling julia. concerns of mounting about events in this year as refugees to begin to cross its border, shedding and this condition tension is building across the border. why many people name is your concern about possibly military intervention. meaning i did as i wanted about the off to my local c. s. a center is of course the board of trade and relationships would be in jeopardy. as long as me is just military, remain defiant. we have started receiving an influx of people from the jo, but in the of pocket, some of them have start to secure for which here. and it's not only nigeria that's
6:11 am
working with consent. politicians and i noticed on the continent, i worried about the speed which these coolest happening, especially in west africa. i did research, i just need a couple or not nigeria. malcolm webb has more from the conference center goals, the west african regional economic blog echo was just put out a statement saying that he learned with stupefaction about the challenges presented by the minute feel. so it's he's in his yeah, against recently ousted president. the how many was in the statement or sex and then to move instead of contradicted signs. recent signs that there was a possibility of deceiving, peaceful means. to echo i said would be a ton to constitutional rule. united nations has also commented saying that is worrying statements and then expressed concern about the conditions of president president and his family who are detained by the military. also,
6:12 am
it also it sees in the jazz caps. so when the, i'm a, the us government's also commented condemning the move. no, this comes at a time when echo us. so macro last member states that preparing a son by force for a possible ministry intervention code. the wall has said that it would put in a battalion of troops, $850.00 soldiers send a goal. and the name would also be expected to contribute troops. but to co ask members who are currently suspended, molly, i'm the key and if i say both of those countries have, have twos in recent years, in the military governments that have said that they object to any military intervention, they would stand by the military or 3rd season news. yeah. in the event that it happened. raising concerns of an escalating regional complex malcom web. our 0 call center go at least 26 nigerian soldiers of entailed in the man bush and, and evacuated and mentioned that followed. an air force helicopter crashed
6:13 am
a rug village in new jazz delta state. it was on its way to rescue soldiers who were wounded, young admitted to operation against government for soldiers are killed in that attack. as in fighting in other rom, libby is capital tripoli off to the detention of a pop will come on. those forces control much of a city rivals. thoughts captured must more times that they meet. you got international, airport and tripoli, according to those loyal to have full flights and now to the airport, have now been suspended. warning. sanctions have been fighting for control of libya since we're a market off. it was couples. i'm killed in 2011. i was trying to report some flippantly about the capture multiple times of the specialty turn force, which controls the me to get airport here. and tripoli detains in the mood homes of the commander of the 400 and 44th brigade of forces loyal to homes that then gave a deadline to the special detour and forced to release him. they didn't. and so we
6:14 am
saw a security tensions rise, especially in southern tripoli, where both of these groups have a, have headquarters or barracks in those areas. a clashes be a rupture between them. and the situation remains extremely tense. and we can hear a sporadic fighting, a sporadic gunshots in the distance, mostly light weapons, but from time to time, we can here what we believe is artillery or, or, or, or medium weapons being used in tripoli feet. it's a fragile piece. uh, when, when, when things are, are going well, uh, and situations like this can escalate extremely quickly. i mean, the last time that clashes erupted, you know, we had a 30 people died and over a 100 injured. so people are extremely afraid of the seeing that the schools are, are now calling for, for uh, for them to, to be suspended for tomorrow. uh,
6:15 am
just in case. so any people people are really afraid and the hope is that some kind of agreement can happen. and things can calm down as possible. so to come here and i'll just air including the rain and officials plane the i'm group ice on sundays, deadly upside on a permanent shift shrine and the city of shoves thoughts more than 50 people have been killed in the indian state. some financial, financial potential range if the region on the state of the and here's how the weather story goes for the america. it's great to have you along a big drop in those temperatures for santiago on tuesday, just 20 degrees and those temperatures will continue to fall. it has been hot and dry for eastern bolivia, wendy, as well. so let me show you the picture on the ground. there are
6:16 am
a number of wildfires have a rough date here, a cruise we're dealing with about 80 to 90 of them just because of how parched this area has been. now if we go around central america, you know, for about the last month or so now. so the capital of the bahamas is being hovering around $3435.00 degrees, but showers in storms in the forecast here on tuesday. so watch what happens on wednesday. bit of relief here is your temperature is now down to 30 degrees. we have been dealing with extreme heat, high heat through, from texas a really toward that southeast corner of the us, some showers and storms in the forecast here on tuesday. but quite helping of rain for new england. some spots here could see half a month's worth of rain over the span of 24 hours. meantime, is also about the heat for the pacific northwest. portland, coming in at $38.00 degrees, that heat is there to stick around for the next little bit. and not a bad day, and l. a. suns out 33 of
6:17 am
the a new generation of young people, a more politically engage than the one that came before. welcome to generation change a global series and attempts to challenge and understand the ideas that mobilize use around. so we're in south africa. it's the women who are at the full friends as the walks generation. we must never, ever get tired of developing resistance passages and the just ignited passions can stand up and fight generation chains on algae 0. the the
6:18 am
top stories here this, our prostitute is in the us state of georgia upcharge for my president, donald trump. his alleged attempts to overturn the results of a 2020 election. those election, midland charges on addition to 3 of the cases for the president is facing. the west african regional blog excellence has condemned the decision of the insurance committee. tribute is to prosecute to post president treason according to yet another publication. as i'm fighting in libya as capital tripoli events off to the detention of a possible come on that was process control, much of a city driving force captured my foot comes out of the mix, got international, airport interest, and according to the lawyer, now the desk told in hawaii is devastating while science has reached 99 with a governess saying that number is set to rise. many a waiting for news on whether the friends and family are safe. officials say efforts to find and identify the dead. i'm in the early stages. chat potentially have the latest from our i think was very striking. was it for the last several
6:19 am
days we've been outside about exclusions and so obviously the focus of exercise and is behind when we've all seen the pictures of a devastated, destroyed town. well, we haven't really realized before there is the so much l surrounding it, which is also in the exclusions. and that really helped us understand why when we were outside big solutions. and over the last several days, people would come up to us and say that i'm not letting us that we have to get back in because so many people, thousands of people by the looks of it are still there. so you have the policy and the future, we have a lot of questions about the pos, meaning why didn't they know, why didn't they full see that this could be a possibility, given all the warnings they've had since 2014 wide of the emergency side or the sounds when it was clear, it was an incredibly windy day, and fires were already burning. but now we're also looking to the future. i think something that is often forgotten as hawaii is effective in american calling the i know it became the state in 1959, but it's still up that sort of suspicion and resentment among the big sections of
6:20 am
the native land population here about the motives of the federal government in any way, yes, the 21st century link lead capitalism does off the capitalism. the way that the laser run the results and you have the money, have a, have a lack of making a crisis into an opportunity which might mean that many of them will end up losing out. and that's what we had in that report from various people, is that real suspicion and fear, and actually one of the reasons why certainly people, it remains on the western part of the island. how the left is that real fear about what's going to, what's going to happen next? you know, when you have to remember the reason hawaii is a us state is because a bunch of white sugar plantation owners called the ministry and to overthrow the queen at the end of the 19th century. it's a very recent to learn to history that there's rooms in the numerous about the relationship between hawaii and the us. yeah, that's comes out the times like with so now the us military is facing
6:21 am
a recruitment of crisis over the past year. it's only been able to recruit $45000.00 soldiers that's way below the minimum annual target of $60000.00. a recent poll shows that confidence in the ministry is at its lowest point and a quarter of a century. kind of reports from washington, dc, washington, dc. cus, toys, pride itself as having the world's most formidable military machine, a standing force of nearly half a 1000000, many stations on bases and fall from parts of the globe. do solemnly swear or affirm these only swear. so what now recruitment is as low as levels of the drops of water 50 years ago. and how does hit if we don't turn our recruiting situation around, i can't guarantee you that the army won't have to make some more substantial potential for structural reductions. because we, we've got to make sure that our units, for example, that are on the immediate response scores are mand adequately so that they're ready
6:22 am
to go. the secretary herself, appears in commercials aimed at increasing recruitment, but they appear to have little impact in the market. that's being present it by increasing political divide and bi partisan and good that was residents to politicize, the military itself. many republicans accused the military up in the phrase being woke, pointing to the renaming of basis name dropped confederates, civil war leaders. and in particular, the recent pentagon decision to pay for enlisted personnel to travel out of those states that have band abortion, some democrats, and to, and point to the proportionately large number of veterans and even soothing personnel. who took part in the attack on the capital in january 2021. so i think the biggest challenge about the presence of domestic valid extremism in the military isn't necessarily the numbers um, because the numbers are small, but it's that it goes counter to the oath of service. and so american see that as
6:23 am
a real tension point when it comes to um and trusting the military as an organization. compounding the recruitment problem, 25 percent of those who want to enlist do not meet the required physical for academic standards. the military has started. what it calls a future soldier, prep costs to address this issue. lead units have been largely unaffected, as long waiting lists of qualified personnel to join special operations units in every branch. but it's not the exposure to keep the military machine running. it's the cook's the drive is the maintenance team's the ones. what sold them noticed unless they on the mike hannah, i'll just sarah washington, officials in iran, not blame the group isolated for some days attack on a permanent shift shrine and the city of shots, at least 2 people were killed. a group of foreign nationals has now been arrested. dosage bar reports in the capital. tara john, how many of had me shot?
6:24 am
this was the moment alone. gunman stormed into the shop. sheriff shrine insurance and open fire. witnesses said it happened quickly. i saw people were running towards the exit who were injured. i didn't know what had happened. i saw everyone around me had run away. the gunman was arrested on the scene and has been identified as a citizen upside you cust. on the head of her onto the sherry says another 8 men have been arrested in connection with sundays attack. all of them are for national . so do you can sounds foreign minister says it has yet to receive the documentation about the suspect from irena and officials to verify his identity. iran until jake has done have had good relations since the former soviet republic declared independence in 1991 and to her on. is it 2nd biggest for an investor after china? iran is foreign ministry spokesman, provided one possible motive for the attack with us the phone about he
6:25 am
unfortunately some world powers have been using these terrorist groups as a means of gaining influence to have a presence in the region and to make political and security changes. yeah, i smart sentiments shared by the spokesperson of the revolutionary guard who accuse us for in spite agencies of being involved and what the government is calling a terrorist attack with a goal of creating division between iran and its neighboring countries. this is not the 1st time saucer of shrine has been attacked last october, 3 gunman storms its grounds, killing 13 people. this 12 century shrine is the 3rd most important in the country . now officials, we look into increases security and find out more about the 9 men the choose of carrying out this attack door. so jabari al jazeera tyrone supporters of a permanent child bangladesh or you, but it just lead to have protested in the capital. i was off the, he died of a heart attack. that was the same. so he had,
6:26 am
he was being treated at the prison hospital and deca thousands of mona's gathered outside the institution. charging anti government slogans say it'd be, was sentenced to death 10 years ago for real crimes. committed during the 1971 war of independence was jailing chicken von and protest. dozens of people died. hold on 50 people have died in the northern indian state of a module put that shot the terrestrial range of the region and usually heavy rains and melting glazier is of course flash flooding. as michael f pet reports with pick axes, shovels, and even the bay hands risk you work isn't volunteers work to save people trapped in the month in india's, kimberly and region heavy rains, broad floods which then figured land slides washing away homes. so that's where the fitness in the south range in the last 24 hours have we have that on here. my child pradesh in the temple and you know, shimla,
6:27 am
we have identified 5 bodies from 20 to 20. 2 people are still missing the trying everything to save the lives of those buried. the climate change is increasingly being blamed for it, streaming, devastating weather events, way ship is well on a pilgrimage to one of the holiest sites. the hindus in the state capital shimla windows on this struck the cloudburst occurred during which the railway track and road collapse. it's expected that to meet this there are 20 to 25. people still trapped. this is basheba temple, which is a 150 years old. there's been a lot of damage to lives in property right. cold rain full and the flooding of triggered has damage, roads, buildings, and force. the closure of schools with shelters being set up for the displaced the situation is bad. their continuous floods and the rivers are overflowing or
6:28 am
flash floods. villages are being flooded and people's homes have been affected. india is me to a logical department to issue to regulate for both him a child per dish. and we've had our con states with more rain full cost for the start of the week. michael apple, elders, era and us cool. it has deliberate, a longmont judgment in favor of young climate activists. 16 children and the young people took montana's a court. they said the state violated the constitutional rights to a clean and healthy environment by promoting fossil fuels. the routing code set a precedent for other climate related lawsuits. coal, oil, and gas are critical to montana's economy. when michael gerad is from the columbia low school, he says the routing will be a catalyst to take climate change seriously. and all the court decision requires montana to do is to consider climate change in making its energy policy. so it doesn't require them to actually change those policies. but i think the greater
6:29 am
significance of the ruling is that is held that the environmental rights prevention of the state constitution had reinforced. there are about a $150.00 countries in the world that have the environmental rights provisions and their constitutions. and this decision is going to be cited in many cases, going forward of this case will go up to the montana supreme court, since it's only on state issues that can't go to the supreme court of many and many other countries. we've seen that the higher courts have been rather sympathetic to the climate case as the supreme court these days. not so much some sports names now and name eyes on his way to saudi arabia. saudi state, media reporting that our hello have agreed that he would probably signage them a to sign the brazilian pay around a $100000000.00 before adams for the 31 year old. it's the name of himself good enough to a $175000000.00 in wages. if you need to hear, do you follow has been a messy and leaving the french champions. and this transfer when the name of joined
