ah ah ah ah, this is the w news live and from berlin tonight the f. b. i's reasons for that rate on donald trump's florida home and a newly until document. the u. s. justice department claims that it recovered for the 700 pages of classified documents from the former president mar, logo resort. also coming up a spat between 2 of the world's leading vaccine makers biotech. pfizer was the 1st
9:01 pm
past the post with an effective code. 19 back c. now modernity is suing it for allegedly copying its technology. and the un calls for comment ukraine's largest nuclear power plant inspectors prepared to go inside grades as russian shelly calls the facility to go off the grid for the 1st time this week. experts or warning of a nuclear disaster if fighting does not stop and go as president head for a 2nd term. his long time ruling party leads with nearly all of the votes counted, will bring you the latest from the cap and in sport. when abnormal becomes normal professional soccer returns, the ukraine is 6 months after russia's invasion. every tie winds have already delayed one man. ah,
9:02 pm
ah, and i bring gov. it's good to have you with us tonight. the latest salvo in donald trump's legal battle with us authorities, even as the former president lays the groundwork, work for another possible run for the white house. the u. s. justice department says at 14, out of 15 boxes recovered from trump's florida estate in january contained classified papers. now that's revealed to day and a heavily censored legal document the affidavit explaining why the f b. i searched trumps mar logo property earlier this month. trump is accused of a legally taking sensitive classified documents when he left the white house after his 2020 election defeat are let's go now to washington bureau chief in his bocce is following this story force. good afternoon to you, enos. so what more do we know now that his affidavit has been redacted?
9:03 pm
and of course the question there is, is there more text to read or, or is there more black to see? reverend led me aside by showing our audience of the paper which actually broadly f, b i into the house of the former president in florida. if you see it is heavily redacted. and why is that it is because the paper could reveal sensitive information and could spice and other sources at risk if they are exposed. that's actually are the reason why the d o j j did not want to se documents or to be released. so what it, what it does show is how federal law enforcement justified the search a former president trump home. and that they were concerned that sensitive information regarding intelligence and spying tactics and would fall into the wrong hands. and this could have caused
9:04 pm
a major national security crisis. it is unusual for an affidavit to be made, made public, but that, but that has happened. and now, and it shows that there was probable cause for the f b. i to think that a national security was at risk. so is all of this when you put it together? does this put donald trump into legal jeopardy? died indeed is very unprecedented as pretty much everything regarding the former president, while he himself plundered, responded right away. and said this is i quoted a witch hunt and that he, i caught this again, did nothing wrong and that he a, was essentially attacked her that i caught this again we were broken into. but a brent, even he and his legal team suggests that and they played by the law and it is looking more and more as they did break federal law. all that however, could push him to announce, rather sooner than later that he is running again on
9:05 pm
a for, for the 2020 for presidential election. why? but because he might try to use this opportunity, this momentum to campaign of this event and protect himself as the victim of the justice department. here, the saga continues in his po with the leaders on this unsealed affidavit. it is thank you, was staying in the united states. they gave the world or what have become the 2 most preferred vaccines against the corona virus, but now they've become enemies headed to court. today the u. s. pharmaceutical modernity filed a lawsuit against pfizer. and by ion tag, over alleged copyright infringement. myrna claims that pfizer working with by ion tech of germany copied is technology to produce their own covey 19 backseat. the tournament hanes and it filed a patent several years ago, which protects that m. r. in a technology used to develop the vaccine. pfizer,
9:06 pm
which is an american company, says that it is surprised by these allegations. it's important to note that both companies and both vaccines use this m r in a gene technology i want to pull in now, brian abramson from falls church virginia. he has handled patent disputes before the u. s. court of appeals before he now cheers. the national vaccine law conference. it's good to have you. with this, let me ask me this is really surprised. everybody. it seems. does this lawsuit, does it have merit? well the question to what is the lawsuit has merit will be a very long drawn out in detail. one that will delve into the history of moderne is development of their technology. and generally speaking, there are 2 routes by which pfizer will see to defend itself. one saying that whatever they invented is different enough that it doesn't infringe modern is
9:07 pm
patterns. and the 2nd would be to attack modern as patterns to say, well, it's patty really shouldn't have been issued because this technology would have been obvious to someone who is an expert in the art in the course of developing it . and it will be interesting to see my thumbnail view from having read the complaint. is that going to be a lot of work for a moderate to prove case? yeah, it sounds like it's going to be a lot of work for the attorneys involved. you're in, we're to more than 2 years into the pandemic, almost 2 years. also with this vaccine wouldn't modernity have realised and lodged a complaint sooner. i mean, it just, it seems like the timing of this is really late. well, to, to be its matter of public relations. madonna had pledged early on in the process that they weren't going to enforce their patterns. during the pandemic in march of
9:08 pm
this year, modern i made an announcement saying that basically they felt the pain and they can't move to an end demik stage. and they would begin to assert their patterns. although they still continue to say they would not assert them against the smaller countries in the world, the small develop economies. but in the united states, much in europe, of course, now modern seems to think that it is fair game to pursue the patterns that it won't be a big public relations here for them. because the pandemic has waned to a degree. and i'm wondering too is, is this going to become the norm as we move into the future with more and more biotech, and genetically developed of medications and vaccines that mean the m, r a m r, n, a technology that was used to develop these vaccines? is that a technology that can be patented, that can be owned by a company, or is it, as you said earlier? is it something in science that would easily be identified by a scientist?
9:09 pm
that would be hard then to say that belongs to us? well, 1st of all, litigation between pharmaceutical companies over assertions that one of them has infringed patents of the other. it's very common, it happens all the time. is that same kind of that again, moving into a different realm into the realm of, of biotechnology and m, r. n, a technology am or any of course, is a substance. it's found in all of our teens and all of our cells and it's a naturally occurring thing. so what i'm a journey is really clean here is that they develop ways to use m r n a and to manufacture m r. any that can be used as faxing that hasn't been done before. and that's what they're patton's directed to. it seems to me that would be very difficult for anyone company to claim that they have the soul right. to use any
9:10 pm
technology as a way to fight disease. yeah, well it would definitely be an interesting lawsuit to follow brian abrams and we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. been a pleasure. the united nations tonight is calling for a cease fire at these epa. we see a nuclear power plant in ukraine that as inspectors are headed for the facility. the international atomic energy agency is planning to survey damage at the plant which was temporarily knocked off the power grid causing regional blackouts. ukrainian officials have blamed russian occupant pine forces for the outage. russia blames ukrainian troops who are finding to take back control of the power station experts or warning that one wrong move could lead to a nuclear disaster. the risk of a nuclear disaster in europe has been blooming large for weeks. ukraine says it was narrowly avoided,
9:11 pm
yet with dizzy. if the diesel generators didn't turn on it after the black out, the automatic systems and the personnel didn't start working, we would have to face the consequences of a radiation accident. the lug nuts, litski i, j. c. name of audi. russia has put ukrainians as well as all europeans, one step away from radiation disaster that hostile there has been growing concerned about fighting of the bar blonde. on thursday fires visible your on satellite imagery knocked out its lost external power line. the electricity it's applied was used for cooling and safety systems at the nuclear power blonde obama. but the question ukraine has blamed russian forces for starting the fires rush us as they was bogged by ukrainian chilling gib residence while the danger has not been avoided yet the my all what i think
9:12 pm
every sane person is afraid. now, every one is afraid. knowing our neighbor, knowing what it is capable of, that we understand that there can be different consequences of what is happening there. now, that is why everyone is afraid. we are not worried about blackouts, see, but that the ecological situation may change. that to him will jasmine it is the start here with of course everyone is afraid. the entire world is afraid that if i really want the situation to become peaceful again, i want inspectors to finally reach the plant. i want the power shortages to be overcome and additional facilities to be operational. but it's of, i want all of us to live in a safe world unless feature inspectors from the new and nuclear watchdog planning to was at the bar station, which is held by russian forces. the waiting to be rounded axis or denied any go. it looks like the ruling party there will hold on to power that in the nation's closest ever free vote in history with nearly all ballots that been
9:13 pm
counted. a visual, say, the m p l a party is 151 percent of the vote. and with that, a majority in parliament, there would also mean a 2nd term for president john, lorenzo. the main opposition increased it's showing with 44 percent are let's go now to our correspondent andriana tree. she is in the capital of angola tonight, and run as good to see you. so talk me through these figures here. i mean, this is still a strong showing by opposition parties, but it wasn't enough to when was it not yet. the final results were still waiting for the final results and the major opposition party already said they are contesting the result. they say that their own parallel counting and according to them, they are of the vote. you have to recall here that angular doesn't really have history of free and fair elections in the class,
9:14 pm
and also now observed has been criticizing some structural issues. for example, the electoral commission is still very much under the control of the government ends. lady cited as another example to only allow $1300.00 electric service for more than $13000.00 polling station. so that is obviously a big problem. and this is why many position parties are doubtful if these votes counting is really happening in the way it is supposed to happen. but once again, people are still waiting for the final results. things have been very common peaceful here so far. and we haven't seen any outbreaks of violence or big boat and we know a pass to elections of the ruling party really never had any competition at this time. that was not the case. and as you say, the, the opposition party, you know, right now is the number staying 44 percent. what does that mean for competition in the political system moving forward by look, i mean it's almost certain that the mpa will win this elections again. but as you
9:15 pm
said, this type election for the 1st time, and that is the really shows that they have to really work on their performance. because the govern government and the party actually have been in power for almost 50 years at the very long time to our and so the current president took over about 5 years ago as a new president. and he promised reform, he went after corrupt individuals in the government, even whence, after the family of fredy, sesa presidents da santo's that got him some credits. but also people here saying things are going to slow. and especially in the urban areas in cities like he and one of the young people are really frustrated about the lack of economic development. yes and colla is the biggest all produce in africa. but this wealth and oil hasn't trickled down to the majority of the population. a lot of young people are unemployed. they are frustrated. and this is something, it obviously needs to be addressed by the new governments. t w's. audrey increase reporting tonight from angola as those results come in. thank you.
9:16 pm
a heat wave in drought and shine in the are drawing out the famed young c river. the yankee is the longest river in asia and a crucial water source for nearly 400000000 people. it's a vital part of china's economy. blackouts are feared as reservoirs dry up. high temperatures have stretched past 70 days in a row, making this heat wave the longest on record. and there are similar worries in the united states over hydro, electric power stations, which depend on the colorado river. and the colorado river is best known for what it did, millions of years ago, carving out the grand canyon. but recent droughts mean that this, once mighty, torrent river is running dry. the colorado extends 2300 kilometers from high in the rocky mountains right there. as you see in colorado and it goes all the way
9:17 pm
down through arizona and been empties into mexico, it provides water for 40000000 people in 7 state. hundreds of thousands of farms and ranches rely on it, but water levels interval reservoirs, there's water levels. they've dropped dramatically and the u. s. government is now cutting back on the amount of water that goes to individual states. he ws jeff on simon's to night reports from lake mead near hoover dan. ah, could the expensive fountain water display in front of so called sin cities iconic coating bellagio? be a thing of the past soon. know, at least not yet. but as the entire southwest region of the u. s. is facing a mega drought water or not having enough of it anymore has become a big problem for las vegas and the entire state of nevada. we're meeting with christian gala,
9:18 pm
a community activist and senior representative of national environmental organization. the sierra club christian wants to show us a place called echo bay, within what is known as lake meet national recreational area, just a few miles east of las vegas. hardly anybody ever comes really to echo bay. unfortunately, it was a very popular spot, so popular. in fact, it had an airport. but as you can see, the water levels dropping so dramatically. it's affected the economy of the area. there are not people coming out to visit and recreate as much here. eco bay eco bay is not the only spot falling victim to the lower water level. tear lake meet created by hoover dam is the largest man made water reservoir in the us in terms of water capacity. however, the reservoir is water level has dropped visibly by unprecedented amounts in recent years. as christina, top flight attendant from germany, visits hoover dam. she is alarmed by what she observed. i think the belgian rang
9:19 pm
long time ago in this it should keep on ringing and something has to be done about it. absolutely. it is very dangerously low and we actually up a flight through so we flew over here days ago and just the seat also from above. 40000 feet. i can show you pictures. it's unbelievable meats, water level. shrink by a whopping 100. 50 plus feet in the last 40 years, an ever growing so called white beth top ring here and at other reservoirs would have devastating effects for all us states in the lower colorado river basin. for tens of millions of people and hundreds of thousands of businesses in nevada, arizona, california, and even in mexico, we are on track to see additional drops in the water levels on to the point to words. it's scary, we may face what is called deadpool, where water will not even flow out of lake need further down the colorado river system. fixing this problem requires understanding where it starts in the rocky
9:20 pm
mountains, due to global warming, mild winters, don't produce enough snow. melt any more for the colorado river to carry down stream into lake mead and built the solution. unprecedented cuts in water use strict water conservation, and ultimately the de corporatization of our economies. not a can do any longer, but a must do experts say, ah, well professional football, it returned to ukraine this week with the 1st top white matches held in the country's since russia's invasion, a 1st full set of fixtures takes place this weekend, but there is both pride and trepidation from players and fans alike. at one game, air raid sirens forced players to run for cover ukrainians had been waiting for this moment with a football fans or otherwise the resumption of the men's ukrainian premier league. 6 months after the russian invasion began, was

9:26 pm
the ukrainians are showing an incredibly strong will to maintain some semblance of normalcy in the country despite this war. but, but you as a security expert, how, how wise do you say or do you think it is to a well, these football matches to take place? considering the real dangers that are present, you know, what the president of the food both the duration of ukraine said that the, the more important call for now is to keep on going and show everyone that football is alive. and he also mentioned that a lot of the football fans are now in the trenches and they are fighting for ukraine. and for them, it's important to know that they're football teams are continuing to play because for them, this is a symbol, a very important symbol that shows that they have fight is not invade. they fight
