the f.b.i. director being pretty explicit there how does all of this compare to what happened back in 2016 right well if you recall in 2016 the f.b.i. concluded that russia had not only hacked into the democratic national committee's servers stealing e-mails and leaking them but also try to attack local election infrastructure now the f.b.i. director ray said there is no evidence of russia taking those attacks evidence that those attacks on infrastructure are happening with that at least not yet however he did say as you hear that there is a descent from nation campaign and he said that the f.b.i. has fled their areas accounts on facebook and twitter that were fake accounts set up in russia and that those social media companies have deactivated those accounts how does our cast are there for us with all the latest from capitol hill thank you very much. well i one of the 40 candidates banned from running in ivory coast election says there will not be an election unless they're on the ballot former

is it sloppy work or is it f.b.i.omething on members of the trump campaign? >> i don't think at all that it is anything improper. you get people who are overworked and make mistakes, inexcusable mistakes. >> reporter: attorney-general barr disagrees. >> the evidence shows we're not dealing with just mistakes or sloppiness. there is something far more troubling and we're going to get to the bottom of it. >> reporter: u.s. attorney john durham is conducting a full investigation into the conduct of crossfire hurricane, which will include a re-examination of strzok's every move. >> did you write that? >> i did write that, sir. it is a political expression. >> reporter: he remains branded, you might say compromised, by his text messages. the president has accused strzok of treason, lambasted him on twitter, and even ended his famous helsinki press conference with vladimir putin like this. >> president trump: if anyone watched peter strzok testify, it was a disagrees to the f.b.i., it was a disagrees to our country. >> repo

but the f.b.i. noted that little had somehow skirted charges for violent crimes year after year, in state after state, in places where women disappeared, including texas. that drew the interest of ranger james holland, a skilled interviewer who says he's convinced dozens of killers to confess during his career. typically, when people want you involved in a case, they want you there because... why? >> holland: virtually every single case that i ever deal with, there's no d.n.a. evidence, there's no forensics, there's no nothing. >> alfonsi: and there was nothing linking samuel little to additional murders, just suspicions. the ranger was intrigued by a cold case in odessa, texas. denise brothers was a prostitute working on the wrong side of town. then she went missing in 1994. >> damien brothers: we looked remembers driving around odessa with his grandparents, looking for her. a month later, denise brothers' body was found at the back of an abandoned parking lot, dumped in brush. >> brothers: we were

the f.b.i. is warning u.s. politicians that people working on behalf of russia trying to influence the upcoming election f.b.i. director christopher ray says they're using a steady stream of misinformation aimed at damaging the democratic candidate joe biden a top officials in the u.s. justice department are reportedly encouraging prosecutors to charge demonstrators in portland with sedition a memo from the department has been seen by 2 news agencies federal charges for protests related violence carry a longer sentence a push by barbados to drop queen elizabeth the 2nd as its head of state has revived the debate among former british colonies in the caribbean over whether to become republics the barbadian government launched its latest attempts saying the time had come to fully leave their colonial past the high. well those are the headlines on al-jazeera i'll have more world news for you coming up after the stream to stay with us. al jazeera. well ever. hey there welcome to the stream home edition i'm josh rush

after receiving that information, i asked the f.b.i. crime lab to conduct its own analysis to see if they reach the same results. the f.b.i. ballistics analysis concluded the fatal shot was fired by detective cosgrove. our officer looks to both reports to determine if there were major differences in the procedures used by each lab that would have led the f.b.i. to identify who fired the fatal shot. both law enforcement agencies used similar equipment and analysis. each lab is highly respected for their work. there was nothing our investigators could point to nor anything provided by the respective agencies that directly explains why one lab made the call while another did not. i think it is worth repeating that they found mattingly and cosgrove were justified in the use of force after having been fired upon by kenneth walker. secondary to this justification,the ksp and the f.b.i. ballistics analysis reached different conclusions to create reasonable doubt in the evidence about who fired the fatal shot. i certainly understand the public'

competence. >> with all due respect to director wray, he has a hard time finding e-mail at his own f.b.i alone figuring out whether there's any kind of voter fraud. >> reporter: meadows also suggested some mail-in ballots should not count. >> should we allow votes to come in and be counted a week after november 3? i don't believe so. >> reporter: but at least 18 states and washington, d.c., accept ballots after election day as long as they are postmarked by then. the biden team, anticipating a fierce fight over voting, has hundreds of attorneys nationwide standing ready. >> the last thing we need is a-- you know, the equivalent of a coup. this is not-- this is not who we are. we'll have an election in this country, as we always have had, and he'll leave. >> reporter: judge barrett is already well known on capitol hill having just gone through the confirmation process to become a federal judge in 2017. republicans consider her a sure a sure bet. but some democrat but some democrats have suggested they will refuse to meet with barrett before her hearing to become a justice. norah. >> o'don

the f.b.i.s it is investigating all aspects of the breonna taylor shooting, including whether her civil rights were violated. tonight, many civil rights leaders say the decision not to bring charges for breonna taylor's death exposes a legal system heavily tilted in favor of police. here's cbs' adriana diaz. >> reporter: the lack of charges in breonna taylor's death has left many here stunned. >> i'm just disgusted by it. >> reporter: their shock came when kentucky attorney general daniel cameron announced wednesday that the shooting was legally justified. >> this justification bars us from pursuing criminal charges in miss breonna taylor's death. >> reporter: after taylor's boyfriend fired one shot at who he thought was an intruder, the officers responded with more than 30 shots, six hitting breonna taylor. kentucky's use of force law is broad, allowing officers to use deadly force if they believe there's a risk of physical injury or death. louisville city council president david james: >> the

and there was a very interesting statement issued from the f.b.i. director today saying that w should please remember that the terms of the investigation by the f.b.i. are set by the white house. now, to me e. the translation of that is don't blame us if something comes up we didn't find because the white house sets the terms for our investigation. so i would look probably to interest groups that oppose judge barrett who will be looking for some information that they don't know, reporters to be investigating her background. but she's a very beloved person in her hometown of -- where she lives in south bend, indiana, where she was a law professor for 15 years. and still teaches at notre dame. and she's beloved by -- a diversity of people for whom she is enormously generous. that does not address the question of course of her idea loling -- ideology which is more than conservative. it is right up there with the man she clerked for, justice antonin scalia, a ferocious opponent of abortion. and judge barrett of course has also weighed in on obamacare sa
