In 1991, overseeing the successful gulf war, when the u. S. Ousted iraqi president Saddam Hussein from kuwait. His most controversial moment coming more than 20 years later. In 2003, as secretary of state, during a speech to the u. N. , powell made the case for war, telling the world of iraqs Weapons Of Mass Destruction. The gravity of this moment is matched by the gravity of the threat that iraqs Weapons Of Mass Destruction pose to the world. Reporter those weapons did not exist. The intelligence was flawed. Telling abcs Barbara Walters he felt terrible about the claims made in that speech. Do you think this blot on your record will stay with you for the rest of your life . Of course it will.

Martha with us from washington. And martha, we know many republicans wanted powell to run for president along the way. He famously resisted and it was often reported that his wife alma was not keen on the idea. Reporter she was not, david. And i think she was largely concerned about his safely. And in the end, he really didnt want to run for president , because whenever you ask colin powell whether he wanted to be called secretary of general, he would always say general, because he was a soldier at heart, a good soldier, david. I know that was something you asked him along the way. Martha, thank you. Were going to turn now to the other news this monday night. The fbi and a team of u. S.

Thats their modus operandi. They tend to attack convoys, buses, and taxis, and so this operation. The pattern of reporter in a newly released statement, the ohiobased organization tonight asking the public to join us in prayer that gods grace would sustain the men, women and children who are being held hostage. By some estimates, those violent gangs now control nearly half of the capital city of portauprince, terrorizing locals with violent gun battles and those brazen kidnappings.

California parents opposed to mandates for School Children says they will take their kids out of school. And that faceoff in chicago. Police officers defying the mayors demand they be vaccinated, amid that number that more than 60 of officers lost last year on the front lines were lost to covid.

Do you do the mmr vaccine and the polio and all that stuff . I am totally pro vaccine in general. In general. Absolutely. And i think that its my choice with my doctor. We should have a conversation and decide what is necessary for or children. Reporter and tonight, across the country, some Police Officers are also pushing back against Vaccine Mandates. In chicago, 35 of the Police Departments officers havent reported their Vaccination Status and risk losing their jobs. I really hope the men and women of the Chicago Police department, who have been fed a lot of stuff, thats the most polite, appropriate word i can use, in this forum, are not going to ruin their careers over going to a website and saying yes or no. Reporter last year, nationwide, 62 of all Officer Deaths in the line of duty were from covid. So, lets bring in matt gutman tonight. I wanted to get to this other headline. Scientists are now tracking what they call a delta sub variant, a related strain in the uk, where cases are rising. There are reports tonight its been found in the u. S. , too. What do we know so far . Reporter david, this is one of those socalled deltaplus variants. It hass be been detected in the. Its about 6 of all cases in the uk. You mentioned it is here in the u. S. And its of such concern that one of the former heads of the fda, scott gottlieb, wrote today, we need Urgent Research to figure out if this deltaplus is more transmissible. David . Matt, thank you. We turn next here this evening to china. That country denying reports tonight that they have tested a nuclearcapable hypersonic missile. How would you track it if it was carrying a Nuclear Weapon . And was u. S. Intelligence caught offguard . Heres our Foreign Correspondent James Longman now. Reporter china denying reports it testfired a hypersonic missile, technology that would allow it to fire a Nuclear Warhead faster than anyone else. Britains Financial Times saying beijing testlaunched the weapon this summer, sending it into space and around the planet before it landed just 25 miles away from its intended target. Hypersonic glide weapons can fly five times the Speed Of Sound and lower than conventional weapons. The u. S. Does not currently have the ability to even track this weapon, much less defeat it. It will give the chinese the ability to conduct a Nuclear Strike anywhere in the World Without warning. Reporter the u. S. And russia are also developing this capability, but its thought theyre far behind china in this particular weapons race. The report, which cant be independently verified by abc news, says that u. S. Intelligence services had no idea china was so far ahead. China denies it was a hypersonic missile, calling it a routine test of a reusable spacecraft. But this will only add to u. S. Concerns about Chinas Nuclear buildup. David . All right, james, thank you. James longman tonight. Back here at home now, Jury Selection is now under way in the murder trial of three men accused in the death of ahmaud arbery. And tonight, the video that will not play a central role. Abcs elwyn lopez from georgia. Reporter tonight, Jury Selection is underway in the trial of three men charged in the killing of ahmaud arbery. Of the thousand potential jurors summoned, 600 have been asked to report today. So far none have been seated. At the center of the trial will be this disturbing video, which emerged 2 1 2 months after arberys death in february of last year. Filmed by William Roddie brian, it shows father and son gregory and Travis Mcmichael chasing an unarmed arbery, who was out for a jog in their pickup truck. 25yearold in what prosecutors say was a racially motivated crime. The defense maintaining that the mcmichaels saw arbery leaving a house that was under construction and thought he was a burglar. Using a then existing law to make a citizens arrest. They say travis shot in selfdefense. Your honor, for the record, we dont believe this is a case about race. Reporter all three men have reporter tonight, arberys parents told me they believe justice will be served. Do you think that youll be able to see a fair jury . Im praying to god. I think we will get justice for him. Reporter the three men pleaded not guilty to those charges and could take twoo weeks before all 12 jurors and four alternates are seated. David . Elwyn lopez, thank you. We turn now to the Abc News Exclusive tonight. The former british spy behind theam,do nit,pe for the first time. What he now says about the most damning claims in his report. George stephanopoulos oneonone with christopher steele. Heres jon karl. Reporter christopher steele, the former british spy who set off a political firestorm in the United States about Donald Trumps alleged ties to russia, is now speaking out in public for the first time in an exclusive interview with george stephanopoulos. Give Mee A Declarative sentence. Christopher steele is a patriot. Somebody who has professional integrity and expertise and somebody who is a true friend and ally of the United States. Reporter steele authored the infamous steele dossier, which presented some allegations about russian interference which proved to be accurate, but others, Including A Salacious claim that the russians may have had a video of trump watching prostitutes in a moscow hotel room, are either unproven or discredited. An investigation by the justice departments Inspector General showed that the source who gave steele some of his key material, a washington analyst, told the fbi that much of it was rumor and speculation, including the supposed videotape recorded by russia to blackmail trump, whats known in russia as kompromat. One of your main collectors spoke to the Inspector General. Said that, especially the kompromat was Word Of Mouth and hearsay, conversations with friends over beers. It was just talk. If you have a confidential source and that confidential source is blown or is uncovered, that confidential source will often take fright and try and downplay and underestimate what theyve said and done. And i think thats probably what happened here. Reporter steele says he believes the video probably exists. But trump and allies say it was all lies designed to destroy his presidency before it even started. Its phony stuff. It didnt happen. Reporter but tonight, Chrisser If Steele defends his work. So you stand by the dossier. I stand by the work we did, the sources that we had and the professionalism which we applied to it. Reporter regarding that salacious video, although steele says he believes it probably does exist, he also says he, quote, wouldnt put 100 certainty onto it. Regarding the overall dossier, david, he said, we knew some of it was right, but he adds, we suspected some of it may never be provable. David . Jon karl live in washington. Thank you.
