in the us. japan launches a nationwide competition to enourage people in their 20s and 30s to drink more alcohol. that was fantastic. you can t buy that feeling, frankly. and striking gold. we hearfrom one of the british divers who helped locate a us first world war shipwreck that s been missing since 1917. welcome to our viewers on pbs in america and around the globe. explosions have been reported at a military airbase in russian occupied crimea. officials there say there s been no damage, and that a ukrainian drone has been shot down. it happened north of the city of sevastopol at the belbek air base. another russian airbase in crimea was hit by explosions earlier this month. and, seperately, in russia itself, two villages close to the border with ukraine were evacuated after a fire broke out at an ammunition depot. the fire was less than 50 kilometres from the frontier. no casualties have been reported. meanwhile, the un secretary general has sounded the alarm about the da
do those specific words create specific legal jeopardy for donald trump? i m john berman with brianna keilar, and judge bruce reinhart released several procedural court documents used to justify the search of mar-a-lago, providing new details and maybe a sharper focus on the president himself as a potential subject of a criminal probe. this is the document that was released and there is specific information in here about willful retention. in other words, they say he knew he had documents and he knew what they were. so this is all part of the argument over whether to release the affidavit justifying the search of mar-a-lago, prosecutors made the case for secrecy because they say evidence might be destroyed, but the judge set in motion the possibility of releasing a redacted version of the affidavit and that process will kick into gear as soon as next week. and ludicrous, ridiculous, bs, those words and phrases coming from some former trump senior officials who are scoffing
democratic right. happy labor day weekend, chris. happy holiday weekend, again there is no such thing as a summer friday anymore. so we are just want to jump right in. over 10,000 documents. that is the number of documents that the fbi retrieved from trump s beach club in august alone. today we got a clear picture for the first time of the sheer volume of documents that traveled nearly 1000 miles from the white house to trump s palm beach club, when a federal judge unsealed a previously unseen and detailed inventory of what the fbi retrieved during its search last month. as a reminder here, trump s team wanted this to come out. and the justice department did not oppose it. as we continue to await a decision from the judge as to whether or not she will grant trump s request for a third party independent review that special master they are two big headlines emerging from today s filing. the first, again, is over 10,000 documents were found at mar-a-lago. that is big e
as a potential subject of this criminal probe. this is one of the documents right here. and there is specific language in here about willful retention of documents. in other words, they say, he knew he had them and knew what they were. this is all part of the argument over whether it will release the affidavit justifying the search of mar-a-lago. prosecutors made the case for secrecy because they say evidence may be destroyed. but the judge did set in motion the possibility of releasing a redacted version of the affidavit, a process that could get into gear next week. and ludicrous, ridiculous, bs, those words coming from several former trump officials who are scoffing at the former president and his allies arguments that he had a standing order to declassify documents he took from the white house. cnn reached out to 18 officials and all of them told us they never heard any such thing. we ll have more on that in a moment. first, let s bring in katelyn polantz with more on
