governor's office very closely. i asked what she made of the new york attorney—general�*s report. ice today from independent investigators was incredibly damaging to andrew cuomo politically. it laid out in expose the detail the allegations of 11 women, nine of him either worked or still work in state government and it not only laid out a narrative of their allegations of unwanted touching and inappropriate comments and groping, it also included several hundred pages of dependencies attached by the independent investigators that had exhibited texts and corroborating e—mails and documents, showing the governors office co—ordinating retaliatory efforts against a woman who made a sexual harassment complaint and detailing some of the nations around positioning some young and attractive women in the governor's office so they could be close to him.— governor's office so they could be close to him. doesn't sound aood be close to him. doesn't sound good like _ be close to him. doesn't sound good like he — be close to him. doesn't sound good like he is _ be close to him. doesn't sound good

but it took just a week for the governor to find himself out of moves following the publication of a report by the new york attorney general�*s officelaimed mr cuomo had sexually harassed 11 women. he denied the accusations, but faced growing calls from within his own party to resign, and today, he succumbed to those calls. i think that given the circumstances, the best way i can help now is if i step aside and let government get back to governing. and therefore that's what i'll do, because i work for you. and doing the right thing is doing the right thing for you — because, as we say, it's not about me, it's about we. kathy hochul, my lieutenant governor, is smart and competent. this transition must be seamless. we have a lot going on. i'm very worried about the delta variant, and so should you be, but she can come up to speed quickly, and my resignation will be effective in 14 days. max kutner is journalist and political analyst in new york. i asked him about the amount of pressure that mr cuomo came under. yes, he said he was going to fight the allegations, which he is still saying that he will fight the allegations, but even jus

pushed back on this idea, just a couple of weeks ago, she's running for the governor 's race in arkansas. she put out of office and said please get this vaccine, i was pushed back a little bit that these republican politicians, have not been pushing the vaccine. >> i disagree and i disagree for this reason. it's a difference between being on the record, in deciding it's something you want to do. we've seen republican politicians, do the thing where they really go out, day after day, to make sure there stay is vaccine. there are republican governors who have done that. but i think, the veto power of the heckler, the hecklers veto, that we saw from the crowd, it cows everyone, that's the thing, they are scared of those people, they do not want to get crossed with them,,. that's the militancy of today's republican party. when we look at anti-vaccination sentiment, and qanon, qanon, which already have a deep fear big pharma, in this idea that elites were harvesting strange substances in trying to put it in their, bodies are our bodies, are these conspiracy theories, qanon is a fringe movement, it's a movement as w

a senior counterterrorism officer, detective chief superintendent alexis boon, wrote to the prison governor asking if there was a way of delaying amman�*ssn't, so the decision was made to follow him with armed surveillance officers wherever he went. they watched as he bought aluminium foil, parcel tape and drinks bottles in poundland. they knew these could be used to make a fake suicide belt, but felt they didn't have enough to arrest him or recall him to prison. and so it was that on the 2nd of february last year, ten days after his release, amman was being followed through south london by a nine man team of armed surveillance officers. when he went into the low price store here on streatham high road, an officer called bx87 to protect his identity was only a few metres behind. amman stole a knife and ran out of the shop. bx87 gave chase. amman stabbed two people as he ran along. thankfully, both survived. frightened shoppers watched as another officer, bx75, joined the pursuit. when amman turned on the officers, they feared for their lives. they said they had no choice but to shoot him. the jury concluded it was a lawful killing. thej

. >> now, ana, the governor and his lawyers have denied these allegations. it's all now up to the d.a.'s office has yet to tell her story to the albany county d.a., which is running this investigation. she filed that criminal complaint with the albany sheriff. the next step would be that she gets interviewed by the d.a.'s office. we're waiting to hear on when that happens then we'll see if the d.a. feels they have enough to pursue a criminal case. >> we've also learned one of the governor's most loyal and high ranking aides has resigned. what can you tell us about that? >> people i've talked to who work for her describe her as a loyalist of the loyals. she is the most loyal person to the governor. she's well-known to all of us in the public. she sat by the governor for many, many months during the pandemic in all of his briefings. melissa derosa. that's her there on your screen. she resigned last night. it certainly shocked people that were close to the governor. some of the people who used to work for the governor. they certainly did not expect to see her go as quickly as she has. the thing he

s fall from grace has been dramatic. for months, the governor sought to stay in office after allegations of sexual harassment., with impeachment looming, he announced he would step aside. i think that, given the circumstances, the best way i can help now is if i step aside and let government get back to governing. and therefore, that's what i'll do. his fate was sealed by an independent investigation by the state attorney general�*s office, released last week, which found he engaged in unwanted touching and inappropriate comments to 11 women. one of those women, an aide, broke her silence, filing a criminal complaint accusing him of kissing her and groping her breast and buttocks. why did you file the criminal complaint with the sheriff's office? it was the right thing to do, the governor needs to be held accountable. just so i'm clear again, being held accountable to you means seeing the governor charged with a crime? what he did to me was a crime. he broke the law. prominent democrats including presidentjoe biden said his resignation was a good outcome for the state. many new yorkers agreed. i feel this was

governor cuomo. >> the conduct was sexual in nature. at that point, the investigation is commenced with the albany county sheriff's office. >>'side is one of 11 women accusing him of sexual harassment. he said in 2019 and 2020 that governor cuomo engaging intimate hugs on multiple occasions. >> at this point i'm very comfortable and safe saying she is in fact a victim. and i commend all of them for coming forward. >> the sheriff says the allegations could lead to misdemeanor charges. the 63-year-old governor denies all allegations and is facing calls to step down. >>> despite the delta search, hundreds of thousands of bikers are expected to flood into sturgis south dakota this weekend. the slogan for this year's rally is we are spreading our wings. health officials are concerned it could turn into a super spreader event. cases are spiking 68%. the ten-day rally got underway yesterday with no proof of vaccinations needed. >> we are not going to start checking papers. >> does the covid thing worry you at all like >> i haven't worried about it at all, not since day one. not vaccinated and not getting vaccinated. >> people are all

circumstances against a very powerful and vindictive governor, they will have whatever actions they have either civilly or we'll see what the individual d.a.'s officeslished an incredibly toxic and hostile work environment, if i were part of the state of new york, i would worry about. the governor says thehe can put aside and do his job. he can't still do his job. i think it's laughable he thinks he can still do his job, but that toxic work environment still exists and that could lead to legal action against the legislature, the governor, the state if that kind of behavior continues, and there is no reason to believe that it wouldn't. so i hope that the legislature moves as quickly as they can. >> because if the governor decides not to resign, you clearly want him to be impeached. it does appear that the assembly will be ready to move forward with impeachment. you need a majority vote in the assembly for impeachment, and then conviction and two-thirds vote in the new york state senate. >> if you read the report, there is no one more worthy of impeachment than governor cuomo. the things that he said yesterday were such an affront, not just to the vic

governor grabbed her butt. >> now everything is up to the albany district attorney. the woman at some point will meet with the d.a.'s officeher or not they have enough to bring criminal charges against the governor. but certainly legal experts and people you talk to in the field certainly do expect now that this certainly is going to be taken much more seriously and that the governor could potentially face criminal charges here. >> we know at least six jurisdictions have asked for more information for those documents in case they want to pursue or believe there's evidence to pursue criminal investigations and charges. thank you, shimon prokupecz. >>> this just in, the pentagon concluding iron was behind has week's deadly attack off the coast of oman. straight to pentagon correspondent barbara starr. what led officials to this conclusion? >> well, ana, the pentagon taking the unusual step of calling out iran directly, issuing a statement and several images of the damage caused to this commercial vessel back on july 30th off of coast of oman. how did it come to this conclusion? the ship suffered an attack from an armed drone
