immediately rushed to the attacker. and people jumped on to this stage from the audience to the point where there are probably 20 people on stage coin the attacker off and keeping him contained. and there happened to be at least 4 physicians in the audience who were able to come up on stage and, and help the author was transported to hospital via helicopter. the attack happened as he was about to deliver an address about artists living in exile under threat of persecution in western new york. he is alive, he is a then transport year lifted to safety. but here's an individual who has suspend decades. ah, speaking truth to power, someone who's been out there, i'm afraid, despite the threats that have followed him, his entire adult life,

it seems, brushed, he was forced to spend more than a decade in hiding after the release of his 1988 novel, the satanic verses provoked protests by muslims in several countries and the supreme leader of iran called for his execution. the 75 year old author has long been a vocal critic of religious extremism and a champion of free speech. the motive for the attack is not yet known. joining me now as may gar more dissolving. she's a journalist, political analyst, and host of the iran podcast. so for many people who haven't read rusty's books, he's known as the author whose face repeated death threats from muslim extremists for a generation. now, do you believe that this attack could be related to that? well, that's the 1st function as your report. elsa said, we still don't know. the more that the attacker is a very young person essentially even wasn't even born when the book was written or the thoughtful,

i guess some or if steve was issued the religious decree. but there is a possibility that's the main reason that he had to live in hiding and under threat . frankly, instead of a surprise that security was, and i didn't need enough that it led to this despicable attack on him today. as you said, it's been 33 years since the father was issued by iran supreme leader. why do you believe that he's still a target of death threats? while the sophomore is essentially a religious, the creed out continued by the former supreme leader, whose death now in the book essentially initially that satanic verse was considered by many muslims as offensive by certain more extreme s or find a mentalist as blasphemous. and it was banned in a number of muslim majority countries, including his original homeland india and it is faithful or

backlash. both tests and also attempted attached on him in the past, even on translators of his book, into other languages. publishers who publishes book into other languages, so it created a life backlash, but this was years ago also miss rushing, lived in hiding and then with security for many years. but fairly recently, he's been hard saying that he wants to live or that he doesn't feel that fat anymore. and i guess the lack of enough security also is an indication that the threat wasn't perceived as active was immune as it was years ago. but the incident is evidently proving that that was not correct. journalists, negarra more dissolving. thanks for joining us. my pleasure.

b. i. agents who rated former president down from florida home on monday, took 11 sets of classified documents from the property, the f, b, i's unsealed evidence list. it revealed that trump had been keeping boxes of classified documents that never should have left the white house, including some marked as top secret search warrant, also indicated that trump is under investigation for potentially violating the espionage act from oral. let's go to our correspondent in washington, caroline and she more carolina, thanks for joining us. what did the f b? i say they have well, we do know there were 2 reasons for that. search warrant one was that they were suspecting that a crime was committed by a former president donald trump. and they were of course, expecting to find evidence of that in. c maryland, and they do have and that's what we know now. 33 items that were as seized as

possible. evidence for that crime. and also 11 sets of documents that are classified documents, but not any kind of t as if i documents. we know that there were documents of top secret, a level, that means t as and t as i level. and this means we're talking about the nation's most highly sensitive documents. this is why the whole search warrant i had to had to be done as soon as possible. and this is why we're seeing, and we're talking about 24. if the agents went into mar, illegal in search of this document, still, and it is, it is a case against the president of some of some of these that has had this of documents in his home in maryland go. and were talking about a possible violation of the espionage act. right. and i wanted to ask about that. is that the crime that the justice department is currently investigating trump for

what the search warrantless is mainly about finding evidence for 3 potential crimes . and that is the mishandling of defense information and this could mean a team may have violated the espionage act. but we're also talking about possible a distractions destruction of records and of a possible removal of, of documents. so this is obviously a fiasco for trump at the moment and it looks bad for him for some people. but could this actually back fire for democrats and give trump kind of fuel for his likely run for president? that is i what we are seeing right now, i am a tramp. he is continuing with his narrative and even increasing it. i'm of a hoax. he is presenting himself as the victim of this investigation. and he says that the democrats are behind it, that the current administration is behind it. and let's not forget that this is not

the only investigation his then there's also an investigation going on in new york again and his ag against the trump of empower m and m tax problems that he has in that said. and so he is involved in a long, in a lot of investigations and in civil investigations, and also regarding a january 6 am. yeah. so we are definitely looking very closely at this investigations and we'll have to see what comes out of it. you know, we've corresponded carolyn of timo in washington for us. thank you. europe is in the group. if it's most extreme drought in decades, record breaking heat waves, linked to climate change have dried up rivers across the continent and sent waters, water reserves crumbling to historic lows. and germany, water levels in the rhine drops so low that some cargo ships using the river are

moving with a quarter of their normal load. desolate, dry and desperate for rainfall. this is the current state of the river rine in western germany. normally, the water level of the rhine here in cologne is about 3 meters. at the moment. it's just 85 centimeters. at other points along the river, the waters already below 40 centimeters. this boat restaurant is supposed to float, but the low water level means it's currently on a lien. often low to dish us. of course we're hoping that it rains in switzerland and in southern parts of germany. then we'll get the water that we need to be a boat restaurants again and float as usual. women. still, guests are happy to come and see the unusual view as if as i stand, the water level of the run is certainly wearing at the moment compared to its usual level. i saw the stair floor saw hot, it's muggy voices. all i'm very worried about the drought and the low water. i can see the shipping is suffering fish suffering and the environment is suffering with

dozens of fairies transport tourists and communities across the rhine. but nicholas teal service could grind to a halt in a matter of days. he's already thinking about long term solutions. remnants of iron will have to adapt, adapt the ships accordingly, and if necessary, we'll have to use new ships that have a lower draft, but there will be solutions. the ryan could be deepened, for example, that's already under debate because everybody for big freight ships. however, the economic consequences could be more extreme. the ryan is used to transport masses of industrial raw materials including coal. but many barges are being loaded at just one cause a capacity to keep them higher in the water, which means dividing up cargo among more boats. just full years after a historic drought in the region, the low water levels are also running home, the impacts of climate change. knocking out faithful. we often after the drought in

2018, we asked ourselves whether this was a great outlier. whether this would only occur once every 200 years. now we have this situation again 4 years later in a similar form. it seems that these conditions will occur more frequently in future to have been controlled for girls who are good and the other. many people, he a fear that water levels will sink even further in the coming week, which could lead to even more disruption of traffic here on the rhine. weather forecasts point to some potential rain, but that won't ease the situation overnight. and reminder of the top story we're following for you this our the author of solomon rusty has been err lifted to hospital after he was attacked in new york. please say the writer appeared to have been stabbed in the neck. they have arrested a suspect that's all for me, for now after a short break, my colleague rob watts has our business updates for you. remember, you can always find more news on our website. that's d,
