Your watch him in his, our life from a headquarters in del, how im getting an obligation coming up in the next 60 minutes. Former u. S. President donald trump says he wont oppose the release of the f. B. I warrant used to search his florida home supporters of iraq, his she, i, leader, move to the southern are back in large numbers outside parliament, demanding early elections. The u. K. Is expected to declare a drought, as temperatures continued to soar, and millions suffer from the lack of rainfall. Cows under quarantine, indian cattle farmers, race to control and outbreak of a potentially devastating disease in sport that has 100 days to go into the faith. A wildcat begins in cat footballs. The shape piece is getting underway a day earlier than originally planned with the house kicking off the tournament against ecuador on november 20th. Ah, ah, welcome to the news our, the former u. S. President. Donald trump says he wont oppose the publication of the war, and that allowed the f b i to search his home. The u. S. Attorney general says he personally made the decision to search trumps florida estate on monday. Mary, garlands has asked a federal court to release the warrens, calling it a matter of public interest. Reports in the Washington Post suggest the search was linked to trumps a legit possession of classified Nuclear Weapons documents. I personally approve the decision to seek a search warrant in this matter. Second, the department does not take such a decision lightly where possible it is Standard Practice to seek less intrusive means as an alternative to a search. And to narrowly scope, any search that is undertaken. 3rd, let me address recent unfounded attacks on the professionalism of the f, b i and Justice Department agents and prosecutors. I will not stand by silently when their integrity is unfairly attacked. The men and women of the f, b, i and the Justice Department are dedicated patriotic public servants. So trump released the statement on his own social media app, truth social. And he said, not only will i not oppose the release of documents related to the, an american unwarranted and unnecessary raid and breaking off my home. I am going a step further by encouraging the Immediate Release of those documents, even though they have been drawn out by radical left democrats on possible future political opponents. Heidi so castro has more on the fallout from the f. B. I search warrants according to reporting by the Washington Post, the f b i. Agents were after classified documents that trump and his aides are suspected of having illegally taken from the white house when he left office. And namely, among those documents, potentially ones relating to Nuclear Weapons. What is unclear is whether these are weapons owned by the United States or by other countries. And whether or not these documents were recovered. We do know that there were boxes of materials recovered from that monday search of mar lago. The former president s private residence that agents had broken into a lock and into and had taken materials from a padlocked area of trumps residence. Now the former president , earlier call this search a raid, and he said that it was politically motivated by democrats. Thats despite the fact that the f b, i, director, was appointed by trump himself. Trump even went on to suggest that those agents may have planted evidence against him as part of this search. All of that precipitated the attorney generals on comments to the public on thursday, descending the search and also asking the judge to unseal the search warrant so that the public may see for itself what the legal premise for this search was. Lets come over to london speak to thomas gift. Hes the director of the center on us politics at University College london. Welcome to al jazeera. So why would trump not oppose the release of the f b . I war now, thomas gift. When trump from the get go, has called this an unprecedented political weapon is ation of law enforcement. Well, its a great question. And i think the 1st point to make is that releasing the warrant wasnt trumps. First choice. We know that because trust kind of possession of the world since the f b i search initially occurred. And at any time he could have publicly disclose its contents, which would detail what federal agents were looking for and what alleged crimes he committed. Trump chose not to do that, so hes only now agreeing because attorney general merrick, carl, and essentially called trumps bluff and daring him to block the public from seeing the warrant out of options out of the available options down. My sense is that, you know, trump really believes that releasing the warrant is the best course because who is really playing to here is his maga base. And to some extent, his based, i dont think will really care what the facts are. Theyll only care about how to spend the fax from. Of course has a cult like following that we know and what call like leaders are able to do. Its reshape and manipulate and reconfigure faxed to a certain narrative. And based on his experience, i think trump thinks that he can do that. I think he thinks that he can win the p. R. Battle keep himself in the news and depict himself as a martyr to his supporters. Right. And we did hear from mary garland for the 1st time he spoke publicly for the 1st time since that f b. I search. What did you make of his demeanour . Well, he was very serious. Merc orland is kind of an institutionalized and i think that he was quite reluctant in any case to even make a statement. But given all that has transpired over the last several days, theres just been so much pressure to at least give some indication as to how all of this unfolded. You know, i think that it was important that mary carland himself did say that he had signed off on this warrant. That was important because there had been a lot of conflicting information over that. I think he also felt that it was critical to provide his support to the f b i and to reassure americans of the important work that theyre, that theyre doing and that they should not be subject to these kinds of threats, of violence and accusations of wrong doing and so on, but you know, what we did see from eric, our lender, someone who was still quite reserved, didnt provide a whole lot of details and really put the onus and the burden on. Dont donald trump to make the next move and just look at the big picture for us here. I mean, it is an Election Year in the u. S. The midterms, of course, coming up in a few months time. How is this going to impact the Midterm Election and in general, us politics as a whole . Yeah, well, i think that this entire process, at least so far, has been categorically good for donald trump. And thats where the tension really lies for democrats. On the one hand at trump should be held to the rule of law just like anyone else at the same time. I think the way this is played out energizes Trump Supporters like few other things really could. And a number of republican lawmakers have rusted trumps defense. Theyve accused the department of justice of weapon ising, the legal system in pursuit of an ideological agenda on conservative Media Outlets like fox news and news max of similarly rally behind trump. All this really place to the advantage of a trump and trumpet candidates heading into the 2020 to mid terms. And for one thing, i think it makes it more likely that trunk back candidates or earn their parties. Nominations in the primaries, which will then go into the general election. And i also think it makes more more likely that Republican Voters will turn out to the polls in the general election. Finally, i think what we witness to here makes it more likely that donald trump will run in 2024. I think that that was fairly likely anyway, but hes going to use this momentum to drum up support for his own candidacy to present himself as a martyr. Were going to hear that liter out to get him that the system is rig the democrats are perpetrating another which hard for trump. This story really plays into all of those narratives that he likes to depict. All right, thank you so much, thomas gift for joining us. From london. Thank you. A support of us and the influential shied leader looked at the southern have gathered in iraqs capital for mass friday prayers. Its the 3rd week theyre being held Near Parliament and baghdad fortified green zone. The southern has urged supporters to keep up their demands for a political reform. After months of deadlock, at the end of july, thousands of people stormed the Parliament Building and they occupied it for several days. Well bring in my mind, ive been while hedges joining us now from baghdad. So friday is a religious day, and a mass moves about what is the political message thats being sent out. Several messages during, as you know, this is the 2nd friday to be performed in a mass congregation by so southern supporters inside the green zone. This is the 2nd friday to be performed inside the green zone, very close to the parliament headquarters, which is occupied by so the supporters for 2 weeks now. Civil messages, including theyre determined to continue that are sitting until their demands are met. Their calling on all iraq is to join them, the koli, they call and get out of solution. Not just a sit in by a political faction, but out of pollution that matters to all iraqis out of lucian against corruption against decades of corruption and mismanagement evolution. Aiming at removing old political and corrupt, corrupt politicians from the but it to cal atmosphere at the preachers to day has been calling on iraq is to join them here. As you know that these religious occasions have been used by said the supporters to convey their messages to mobilize more supporters in into the camps. But meanwhile, s other himself has just to tweeted, calling on this photos of the label, the label, political block of the coordination framework. Co r planning took stage account at us as a protestant later today around 1400 at g, empty, and baghdad. Calling on them to keep it peaceful and to avoid collages with the other support the spring with the other protest. As you know that at some point, i mean theyre going to be highly symbolic. But is there any kind of resolution and sites and can they achieve whats in such as calling for, for example, the issue of early elections this is, does not seem to be happening any time soon, at least for the time, the b, because there is a lot of sophisticated legal, unconstitutional procedures to be taken into consideration. Souther has been calling along with his supporters that they have been calling on their Supreme Judiciary Council to take action to these 2, it dissolved with the parliament uncalled for early elections. But whether or not this is it in a, this is it, or those Judiciary Council is entitled to dissolve. The part of that remains problematic. Because according to the optical, 64. 00 of the iraqi can institution that was drafted in 2005, the parliament can be dissolved in only 2 cases if, if it is approved by 2 thirds of the parliament members. Or if it is called the for by the Prime Minister and approved by the president of the state. In both cases it has to go through the voting process inside the parliament. And if it is approved by at least 2 thirds of the lawmakers, then the parliament is dissolved other than that, the parliament can be convened at any hit at any place. Not necessarily to be in the same place now, which has been, i must have the support for more than 2 weeks now. Thank you so much my, what ive been, what had reporting from baghdad. Plenty more had on the al jazeera news hour, including more rain expected in sue done after flash flooding, destroys thousands of homes in the north.

He stressed that his role is to provide technical, not political assistance and said that hed been in contact with both ukraine and russia to gain that access.

Russia and ukraine accused each other of getting in the way of the visit. You gotta, you gotta get the place because there are no guarantees that the trip will take place that we can currently provide hard for us to judge what is currently being cooked up by the ukrainian leadership.
