attending the event gave a rusty, life saving 1st aid. the audience had been waiting for a lecture by the author to begin when a man appeared from the back of the stage uncle in the personal info nome ridley a person entered with us. and we thought he was arranging his microphone or something like that. it happened so fast. and so i had to put him a note here that we entered from the right hand side and started starving him several times when the 1st one was here by the neck, blood started coming out. salman rushdie got up, i'm wrong of his life for you. but blue police have identified his attacker and believe he was working alone. here we have been working to identify the star suspect, who was involved in the act in the attack at the chautauqua institution earlier today, or the suspect has been identified as haiti. matar age 24, from fair view, new jersey. worst he spent more than

a decade in hiding after the release of his 1988 novel, the satanic verses provoked violent protests and several muslim countries. a year later, the former supreme leader of iran issued a decree calling for his execution. the 75 year old author has long been a vocal critic of religious extremism and a champion of free speech. you often they delay correspondence to me. some misconduct joins us now from washington. d. c. with more on the story. hello to you soon. me. so tell us what the reaction has been in the united states to this attack on the renowned author, sama rusty, marianna. the reaction has been shock and anger as it has been and much of the world. i'll take you through some of the comments that we've seen the biden administration wishing some on rusty, a quick recovery and president biden's national security advisor jake sullivan, called the attack. reprehensible also the governor of the state of new york with

this attack took place. kathy hoko saying that solomon rusty was an individual is an individual, rather who spent decades speaking truth to power. and that her thoughts are with him and his loved ones. we also saw pen america commenting. this is the organization that is dedicated to free speech saying, quote, we can think of no comparable incident of a public attack on a literary writer on american soil. and just beyond the u. s. the canadian prime minister justin trudeau is also commented in a tweet on saturday, saying the cowardly attack on some on rusty is a strike on the freedom of expression that our world relies on. so those are some of the comments that we've seen. and i should say, marianna, there's been shock because even though salman rushdie has essentially been living under a death sentence since 19989 rather, i had more and more been entering into the public sphere again. he has in recent years been holding speaking engagements. he's been seen at events in new york city,

and indeed, he was on stage at the chautauqua institution to speak to the public on friday when this attack happened. while the suspect is assume he was arrested at the scene and has in the mean time appeared in court. what more can you tell us about him and a possible motive? we don't know a whole lot yet. we know that state and federal authorities are working to establish a definitive motive. heidi, my tar is his name, 24 years old. as we heard in the report, and he's been charged with attempted murder in court on saturday. he has entered through his attorney a not guilty plea. it's important to note there. a reporters in the court room, sending information today that they saw hattie matar in a black and white jumpsuit wearing a face mask. for that arraignment today, we know that he is from fair of you, new jersey, that he was born in the us and has lebanese parents. and a preliminary law enforcement investigations have revealed that his social media

accounts show that he was sympathetic to she extremism. and to a ron's islamic revolutionary guard core. so again, early information, no hard and fast links yet, but that is what we know about the suspect at this point. and what about salmon rift is condition? has there been any update we don't know a lot of new information. marianna, about his condition. there had been no updates from the hospital where he's being treated in pennsylvania and also not from his agent. what we know is what we heard on friday that does some on wednesday is on a ventilator that he wasn't able to speak on friday, that he might lose. and i, as we heard that he suffered severe injury to his liver also that the nerves in his arm i have been severed as well. we know that he underwent surgery after arriving at that hospital in erie, pennsylvania. and there are obviously, you know, ongoing treatments taking place at the hospital, but there's no new information about a, his condition today,

dw sunni who has gone to for us from washington, d. c. c. me. thank you so much. a search warrant has revealed that f b i. agents who rated former us president donald trump's florida home seized 11th sets of classified documents. fish will say the evidence includes boxes of papers that should never have left the white house, including some marked as top secret investigators found here exactly what they were looking for. classified information judges authorized the search of trumps estate over possible violations of the espionage act and of the laws which make its a crime to mishandled classified documents. v f. b. i seized 11 sets of documents including a file on francis president. most were marked eva, secret, confidential or top secret, is not clear why trump took a file with him when he left the white house,

a former adviser said he was often careless with sensitive government documents. well, i thought he handled them carelessly. i don't think he fully appreciated the significance of the classification procedures methods in a social media post from claims he declassified all of the documents himself before leaving office. but some of them carry the highest level of classification. and experts have raised out of where for a president really has the power to declassify for most sensitive state secrets mitchell statute that has been used in prior criminal prosecutions of individuals who organ on lawful possession of classified information. and that's a pretty shocking thing to see. undergirding, a search warrant focused on a former resident i states. the department of justice must now decide whether it wants to press charges against donald trump. let's get

their movement. since returning to power a year ago, the taliban have largely barred women and girls from public life. we cannot speak to journalist friends, marty, who joins as from the african capital, kabul, franz, just how significant was this protest by the women and how much attention did it get protests like this have happened before, not in recent months, but in the months of good following the polygon, takeover last august m. as in these former protests, the group of protesters was relatively small. i were talking about 23 dozen women. um, of course it, sir. none the less important because many people are afraid to protest against the tale balm. so such protests, critical of the tale, bon half become rather rare, amongst all dues,

because the volleyball nor rather heavy handed. when confronted with such instances and older hands, protests said, or in the interest of the tale born of from gather much larger crowds. and there it is, and often difficult to say how much is orchestrated by the tale bomb and, and how much is our genuine protests? we should know that this airing of grievance says it comes on the one year anniversary of the taliban return to power in afghanistan. do you think we're going to see more demonstrations like these i doubt that rather to post month, her broader show that to heavy hand, that approach of the tale bond, we're all so what they claim to be legal restrictions for these protests have deterred many to, to conduct its protests that some small groups as today, bring up the courage tool to stand up against the regime every now and then remains

possible. but it's rather unlikely that this becomes a daily or weekly occurrence and will probably like in the past month, be rather irregular and hard to predict. that was journalist france marnie reporting from cobble france. thank you very much. some sports news now and, and the bonus thing are beleive sake have ambitions to challenge for the title, the season. they welcome back star strike our team of mariner for the match with clone band and the bowls were held to a 2nd consecutive dra pre match ebay lights if christopher and cuckoo was presented with last campaigns play of the season award. but all eyes were on returning hero teemer vana. who resigned for the club after an unfruitful 2 years with chelsea. and the clubs record go score wasted. no time getting back to
