three narratives at play during this hearing. fbi director wray talked about the good things the fbi are doing. democrats talked about donald trump and republicans talked about what they perceive as weaponization of government. i m curious are you protecting the bidens. absolutely not. hold on you won t answer whether that s a shakedown. he pledged to stay above the frey. fbi dricket christopher wray could not escape the politics. i come from a fairly rural district is weaponization of the fbi and the doj coming after conservative citizens who just simply want to have a voice in the process? the idea that i m biased against conservatives seems somewhat insane to me given my own personal background. wray is a republican. democrats accused the republicans of having an ulterior motive. it is an elaborate show designed with only two purposes in mind to protect donald trump from the consequences of his actions and to return him to the white house in the next election
air raids and natural disasters and this the united nations says the conflict in sudan has sent 3.1 million people fleeing from their homes. more than 700,000 sudanese people have fled to neighboring countries. the u.n. says there are real growing concerns now the country is sliding into a full scale civil war. and this is a live look at rome, one of the big stories there tonight. vandals set fire and destroyed seminal artwork by one of italy s most famous living artist. this right outside naples city hall. the mic angelo artwork titled venice of the rags have been in display since late june there can be a lot of reasons for the attack the world is going up in flames anyway. one way to look at it. just some of the other stories beyond our borders tonight. we ll be right back.
different regional groups in ethiopa. what we should look at next? high level diplomat was in the country, ambassador feldman, the horn of arc envoy was there for two dias to try to deescalate the situation. everything kind of hangs in the balance right now. the fear is that this bloody conflict for more than a year could now break out into a full scale civil war. ken. that would be tragic, indeed, david mackenzie, thank you so much. a new u.s. vaccine mandate faces a pushback in court. next republican governors prep for a legal fight to try to stop the mandate in its tracks. plus, federal officials release details about a drone attack that targeted the u.s. electric grid him we ll have more on that after the break. stay with us. stay asleep longer, and wake up refreshed. the brand i trust is qunol.
and admits what is a tragedy there, perhaps it is callus to talk about the influence around the world. but when the u.s. seemed to abandon allies, that has a consequence for the united states and for u.s. security. clearly it did. you have british mp s in parliament looking at a non-u.s.-led mission to stop a humanitarian disaster and a full scale civil war. allies of the united states, close allies of the united states are now effectively saying the u.s. cannot be relied on because of is happening in afghanistan. that is a problem for america. it is clearly first and foremost a problem for people in afghanistan. 3,000 troops were holding the peace there. they were making life tolerable for thousands of afghanistans and america have lost forces on a large scale over the course of the last couple of years.
pulling all u.s. troops, not many left, 2,500, out by september 11th and across the country there has just been a domino effect. more than 50 districts have fallen since may 1 and there is a sense in afghanistan now talking to old friends there, a real demoralization. the fear is that full scale civil war will break out again. i quoted a woman who runs a women s shelter who was just thinking about the women who had fled persecution, taliban battering and, again, these are the women we ve been telling since early 2002 go to school, get jobs these are women hobbled that the united states was bringing a new era to afghanistan, hobbled in it, lived it, and now are literally on the run trying to find someplace that s safe. president ashraf ghani the
