We dont know or it is unclear who is responsible for this kidnapping and whether theyve made any demands, whether for ransom or anything else. We do have a statement from the christian humanitarian organizationriginally from New Hampshire that alex was working for. Ey say alex is a deeply comp compassionate person. She has worked tirelessly to bring relief to the suffering of people of haiti in the name of jesus. Their highest priority is to return safely alex and her child. They want to limit the information they provided. They say it happened thursday morning at the campus near the capitol of portauprince. The context of all of this is so important. This kidnapping comes amid growing concerns among u. S. Officials and leaders All Around The World about the worsening violence in haiti. Youll remember it was just a couple years ago that gangs assassinated the president and theres been a power vacuum left and so gangs have been taking over swaths of the country. The State Department has warned americans not to travel to haiti due to the kidnapping, the crime, the civil unrest and the Poor Health Care infrastructure and just last week the State Department ordered Family Members and nonemergency personnel at the embassy there to leave the country immediately because of this deteriorating security situation. So this is not uncommon. Kidnappings are incredibly common in haiti and we know that the world is watching. U. N. Security secretarygeneral said on a recent visit to haiti that haitians are trapped living in a nightmare. The u. N. Is backing the putting together a Multinational Force to try to bring security back to haiti and get control from those gangs.

Athena jones, thank you so much. I want to bring in pierre for more details on the situation in haiti as best he knows. Hes joining me live from portauprince. What are your concerns right now . Thank you. Well, i would say today there is no life in haiti. The haitian people is under distress because of the powerful of the gang. They do whatever they want when they want under the eyes of the government. The gangs, they are protected by the government, by some Police Officers in haiti. Thats why the gang they have a lot of powerful. So you are describes that really no one can feel safe. And so what are your biggest concerns about people who are doing this missionary work, like we understand this american nurse to have been doing, why would she be kidnapped . What would her alleged abductors want out of this . Well, no one is safe in haiti from the instigating, from the powerful of the gang, whether you are foreigner or haitian. Remember what happened in haiti almost two years ago in october 20, 21 when the gang member who kidnapped more than 12 foreigners. Thats the situation we have in haiti. The gang, they are powerful and they are protected by the police and the government. The only one who can stop the gang is the government and the police. But there are a lot of connection today between the gang and the gang with the police and the government. When one of the gang who are a lot of powerful most of the then is responsible for most of the kidnap being in haiti since june. So you are describing that its your belief that the gangs have the upper hand and influence over police and what Government Structure there is. Pierre esperonze, we appreciate your time and were all hoping for the best of an outcome from this situation. Thank you. Thank you. All right. An explosion ripped through a Political Convention in Northwestern Pakistan and police say it was a suicide bomber. So far at least 44 people are dead and more than 120 injured.

Turning now to russia where Officials Say ukraine is behind drone attacks that targeted moscow earlier today, one of which hit a Shopping Center and was caught on video. Cnns Nick Payton Walsh has details. Reporter damage inflicted on moscow city, a very opulent part. As pat of the preconception they had that the war was something different, not necessarily affecting the lives in the capitol. Ukraine did not take direct responsibility for this. More statements about how russias tranquil back waters were no longer so calm. Ukraine trying to impact russian psychology by hitting areas like this, the kremlin subject of a drone strike. It is simply a taste of what ukrainians have been experiencing over the past nearly 18 months now, night live strikes and in northern ukraine, 20 injured, two killed from russian barrages at the same time as moscow was being hit and two dead in the last 24 hours and two injured by more attacks by russia. Russia targeting civilian areas it seems repeatedly day after day. Ukraines government zelenskyy saying the Attacks On Moscow that the war was running to russian territory and a slower, steadier, less publicly touted progress in the south near where i am here. This counteroffensive by ukraine moving forward, it seems, slowly. They targeted part of russias Railway Supply line. Thats potentially key for russias ability to defend the front lines its urgently holding on to. Moscow being hit in such a way repeatedly now it seems will have an impact on those in russia.

Former President Donald Trump took to his Social Media Site in the wake of the Justice Department unveiling new charges against him in the classified documents case and he didnt hold back writing this, maralago Security Tapes were not deleted. They were voluntarily handed over to the thugs headed up by deranged jack smith. We did not even go to court to stop them from getting these tapes. I never told anyone to delete them, prosecutor fiction and misconduct, election interference. It shouldnt make us laugh. Senior political analyst Ron Brownstein joining me right now. The word thugs, deranged, i mean clearly donald trump is not at all worried about how his tone would impact the potential outcome. Weve seen it before, but even as the charges are elevated, so is his intolerance for things. Yeah. Well, you know, fred, one thing we have learned and i think we are going to continue to learn over the next year, is that there is a very different consequence in the political arena and in the legal arena. This kind of outrageous, overthetop rhetoric has served him well in the context of a republican primary. Weve seen polling that came out last week from bright line watchers, a collaboration of political researchers, and his contention that he is the victim of a politicized witch hunt. But inside the courtroom, as we saw first in the gene carroll case and were likely to see in these other case, what matters are facts and statements of fact. And this kind of rhetoric, you know, he can say it as much as he wants in iowa. I dont know if were going to hear this from him when he is inside a courtroom and ultimately the Legal Process will turn on a different set of variables. Right. Important distinctions. Republican contender Chris Christie had this to say on save the Union Earlier today. It is most likely that by the time we get on the debate stage on august 23rd, the frontrunner will be out on bail in four different jurisdictions. Okay. Hes always the prosecutor. That really could be the case. Yeah. And in many ways that is the key variable in the republican race. I think one thing we know obviously we are still far away from anyone voting, but i think it is already pretty apparent that the leading challengers to donald trump have neither the skill or the will to take him down through their own actions. The one question is whether there is a camels back dynamic among republican voters, whether a Critical Mass will ultimately reach the conclusion that all of this is too much baggage to carry into a general election and that they have to find someone else. So far, as we were just saying, there really is no indication of that but trials havent started. And the prospect of trump facing as many as four separate criminal indictments and trials while he is running for president , shuttling between the campaign and the courthouse, until we see how voters react to that, we dont know for sure. And then sources telling cnn that trumps Political Action committee, save america, has spent more than 40 million on legal fees since the start of this year. Thats money that usually is relegating to campaigning. Is Thismer Missible . Will this be challenged . Whats at stake for him by using pac money . The Election Experts ive seen quoted say theres no legal issue here. But is there a more arguable target for political opponents . The idea that he is taking tens of millions of dollars from Republican Base donors and using them on his own Legal Defense rather than their broader goal of trying to elect a republican president , evict joe biden from the white house, that would seem to be pretty much of a Hanging Curveball for anyone else running against him. But other than will heard, we did not see any of the other republican rivals mention that in des moines. Again, it goes to the question of are they willing to directly confront someone who is 35 points ahead of them or are they simply hoping that someone takes him down. So far it looks more like the latter than the former. Yeah, ut what republican congresswoman nancy mace said this morning about the gops push to impeach biden. I do believe at this point an inquiry is different from an impeachment vote. Every time we walk the plank, we are putting moderate members, those seats, at risk. Its not just peach. So in your view does a biden impeachment inquiry seem likely . Um, theres a lot of pressure inside the republican conference to do it. But she is exactly right. I mean, there are 18 House Republicans in districts that biden carried. There are several more in districts that trump carried by only a narrow margin and one thing that we saw in 2022 is really an unprecedented number of voters who are dissatisfied with the economy and or disappointed in bidens performance still voted for democrats anyway because they viewed it until and the House Republicans are consistently behaving in a way, not only on impeachmentment but on abortion, transgender issues, of satisfying the furthest flight rank caulk of their. Having said that, i think that the party who wins the white house is highly likely to also win thehouse next year because of the increasing correlation up and down the ballot, but i think that there is no question that her analysis is correct and mccartand expecting moderates to fall in line behind the ills on how far the moderates are willing to go out on that limb. Ron brownstein, good to see you and hear from you. Thanks for having me, fred. And then theres georgia, an a decision on whether to indict former President Donald Trump and his allies are imminent in in this weeks episode of The Whole Story with anderson cooper, we go inside for the set up of a Shadow Electorate for georgia and swing the state for trump. Good to see you. Attorneys representing some of these electors said there was nothing really secretive about what they were up to but that doesnt seem to be what youre learning. Yeah. Attorneys especially for the Republican Party president is insistent because cameras were eventually allowed into this meeting where they were Casting Votes for donald trump, even though he lost the state that this wasnt even a secret. But we talked to a number people who were a part of this documentary who laid out how the planning was secretive, even talking to a journalist who got thrown out of the room when he tried to figure out what was going on. Im looking around at who else is seeing this. Hey, does anybody know whats going on in that room . Room 216 at the Georgia State capitol, just one floor below where the democratic electors were meeting to certify the georgia vote for president elect biden. So you followed him . I followed him. We went into the room. There was a womans voice, im looking around and she says, hes got a camera going. And another person hustles me out. I said what is this meeting . She said it was an Education Meeting. And then they all marched me out of the room and they posted somebody out front to make sure that nobody else went in. Were you convinced it was an Education Meeting . I was convinced it was exactly what i thought it was. And what he thought turned out to be right. A group of republican Shadow Electors gathered to sign an illegitimate certification for president trump. So you can see there a lot of secrecy went into the planning. There is even more in the documentary. There are certainly conflicting versions of what went on that day. And now a lot of attention is focused on georgia for a number of reasons. And a possible upcoming indictment, grand jury, you know, meetings that have taken place. Is there a sense of the timeline . Are we close to seeing whether there is a decision from this grand jury in georgia . I think we are close. I mean, she sort of set the window for potential indictment announcements beginning on monday by signaling to her local partners thats the time to step up surt. One thing that just threw a wrench a little bit in the timing was that a judge just set a hearing from august 10th where he wants to hear argument that the trump team is making. I would be a little bit surprised if she decided to go to a grand jury before august 10th and ask for this indictment. I it certacertainly think were window where wll hear an announcement in the next couple of week. And well hear more from you on The Whole Story with anderson cooper. Comin
