defense chiefs hold that goes towards in 3 years on the sidelines that the security for him, single, the donald trump has become the 1st form of you as president to be convicted of a crime as he bids to return to the white house the jury in new york found trumpet guilty of old duty for charges and historical hash money trial, shown henry and reports from new york. after more than 9 hours of deliberations, a jury of 12 new yorkers delivered their historic verdict guilty on all charges that made donald trump the 1st former president in us history to become a convicted criminal. he was found guilty on $34.00 charges of falsifying business records in connection to hush money payments to adult film star stormy daniels. as the news filtered outside the court house, there were celebrations, along with

a small number of opponents of trump would gather it wasn't long after the verdict that it clearly fuming trump let his feelings be known. this was a great price gonna be november. and they know what happens here. everybody knows what happens here, whether he likes it or not. what actually happened is that the jury apparently believed trumps former fixer michael cohen, on whose testimony much of the prosecution's case. huh. trump's lawyer spent 2 days trying to poke holes and cones testimony saying he was motivated by revenge in money, but it wasn't enough. the man who brought the chargers manhattan district attorney elvin bragg gave his reaction a short time later while this defended. maybe unlike any other in american history, we arrived at this trial and ultimately today at this verdict in the same manner as every other case that comes to the court room doors. by following the facts and the

law. in doing so without fear or fever, the evidence was overwhelming of trump skilled, but still to see a jury come back in 2 days and with a verdict of guilty on off 30 counts of a former president. i mean it's, it's a really sad day for the united states because you don't want to see a former president indicted and convicted of criminal charges. and yet, it's also so clear that trump engaged in so much can we gallery, in order to obtain the presidency in the 1st place. the verdict and the court of public opinion has yet to be delivered for the republican party's candidate for president. trump sentencing is scheduled for july 11th for days before the republican national convention, where he is expected to accept his parties. nomination for president is a convicted sentenced, fellow. the manhattan jury did what to presidential impeachment and a federal investigation could not do render. a historic verdict that labeled the

former president and former fellow new york or the criminal. 7 john henry l g 0 new york public kelly is professor of political science and diplomacy at some national university. he told us that the key question now is where the crucial swing voters will be put off closing for a convicted donald trump in november. one of the reasons why you're getting such a tremendous response on american new services is because this is actually very new in the united states. as many reporters have pointed out this, the 1st time an american president has been prosecuted after his term. but here and software, for example, this is, this happened before. i mean the large, the concern is that we'll as paint trump, if he gets back in the white house, will he be hamp strong by constant court cases and will you be distract? so on, i think that's what are the larger concern because he make of course, the real like is interesting question to see if this was the impact of pulling, but trump has been running more or less and that connect with by them for. well, again, this is one of the reasons why there's so much incentives. we've never had american

president and died before like this, much less convicted. right? i mean, you can now say like a trump voter in your friend, your circle of friends, wherever you are. are you going to vote for the convicted felons? we don't actually know how to, it's actually going to impact the voters. right. and it's still like a 5 to 10 percent swing voter section of the country. people who are you make basically decide the election. and this might actually break through to these people who otherwise are normally paying attention to politics right now in november you have to say, yeah, i'm going to vote for the conduct excel and, and i think there's a, a sense of that might, you know, swing the small margin to buy that needs to win, but again, we just don't know because this is also new. the at least 14 palestinians have been killed. those are nice and the latest is riley strikes and that own this are awesome breeze. refugee camps in central gallons. a 3 homes with targeted is riley forces have also on the car now most arise, killing 3 civilians get, well, honey, luckily,

joins us now from the obama and central guys are in hon. if you can just bring us up to date with the latest on these as ready as strikes. so i was denied, i did have continued into this morning, as well as reading military continue to carry off and put the strikes across the guard. after we look at our situation, the tire dollars, is there a been equally bomb that the, perhaps the worst of what happened is it over not a top and a residential homes were 11, were killed inside a residential home. and we were told by the civil defense, the crew and paramedic that this is a displaced family from the city. this is not the 1st time that they've been displayed. they were, they variety were pushed into the in for the this place and several times before in the, not in the bridge, refugee count 11 people including women and children. and as we showed up here at the side this morning at the hospital, the remaining family members who are here and we were told by one family member, there is still more people under the rubble of the bonds homes. and not only just

the, the how the targeted house that was destroyed, but also the city, the coughing, the bombs, the following. while i called the way this truck deal of destruction through the surrounding home, pushing people into further into internal and force displacement on a separate a hog. be a these really drones attack is on his truck a car. this car was carrying the 3 people from one family and what we learned so far the world in there, we do the kitchen that they said set up in order to give the free meals to displace families in the central area. and more recently for people have been displaced from dropbox city the on did that. so this is a private business that does turn it into a free meals distribution. fremont distribution point for display span because this is not the 1st time this particular family has been targeted and have family members being killed at the initial where the voice of this genocide of more 24 members of this center with particularly talking about the reach gravity well known, and i'm afraid i read the comp and it's free,

more family member this morning where it goes as they were on their way to set up their free meals distribution point, utilize these really military continue to rough idea and pushing me more, more at great 0 this a good time ground for him to the center part of the street as it would be for the hello to pick the code word that she brought on the western part of the city and further pushing people into further internal displacement on board in the past 24 hours, that according to our records will look at us 35000 more. peebles have been pushed into a further internal displacement. old port in to the central area. and that's been part of one unit that some off the evacuation going just putting more pressure on the infrastructure and the remaining facilities that already it has no capacity and no ability whatsoever to to accommodate further

a number of displays population. okay, thanks so much, honey. honey. mark me for us then to up i'll use these ready military has withdrawn from several pods of northern gaza including the jabante of refugee camp. it was the largest camp and the goss this trip. it is now in brooks palestinians who lived in jamalia site. the shots by the scale of destruction shall strength. it has more . the 100 is these ranges have destroyed our lives. and screens the phone down, homes down, make gold punish, then you answer all those back in israel, we run for our lives. repeatable. we're going to move a 100000 people used to live in the jabante, a refugee camp. these mountains of rumbles and twisted metal used to be polished to be in homes, schools, businesses,

markets. as often this week alone is really military operation. people returned limits to try and salvage what remains that their lives at these ready all me and, and strikes have a blue to richard even the shelters are they used to try and hide that had the most common phenomenon. oh, well you know how to print the gun since the 1st day of the war we have been sheltering in the school. then we were forced to leave south. i was separated from my family and still looking for them until now. i came back to find everything destroyed. these are our only strides our home so and we did. our lives was the entire place is no longer livable. i found to state of low from red on the ground. i picked it up. i have not eaten for days. these are early spring, everything till now. i cannot find my family and my 75 year old husband, my daughter who we lost each other under these really medicine. it's shelly. know what all do, matt,

what looks like blood splattered on skeleton and a local journalist films and describes the scene. or you move bodies on piles of over transcend missy task. se generally says, and this really made a triple lose. i got this makes it symmetry. the palestinians were forced to bury some dead again, the total destruction only 2 weeks ago. this was to jeopardy as main market. research tools used to get our hands in some food here. now it's flattened level to the ground. people cannot find the homes or shrubs. the entire area has disappeared. we do not even know if we will find to assemblies and relatives. this is a crime. it is a city, a subsidy. who such are this sort of these really forces stones, our center and the refuge account. we were forced to leave to work as

a safety already to how we were shocked by the scale of destruction, but nothing standing by the entire areas flattened, the, to the beyond, the dry instead, nothing hold places like the 2nd week of the destroying our homes. like bone down to school where we shelter says this woman, the only place that was left for us and all children to how are you? where do we go now? tell us don't put the names and you cry, and at least 5 people have been killed in 16 injured off. the russians trying, southeastern city of hockey's, local official say to miss all struck civilian areas, including an apartment building, a shop and a sewing factory. the tax came out was off to the bottom administration, partially led to the ban on ukraine, striking targets in russia using us weapons of more on this. we're going to go to keys and corresponding the edge on home. and john can just explain to us why the us president has agreed to do this now. so

yeah, it's been a relatively long time line on this top. and this will started really when in the hall keep region some months ago at ukraine said that it was being attacked airily by a russian missile launching sites, but also by rushing, rushing planes, boutique, lloyd problems from within russian territory. on the other side of the board of the hockey region is in the north east of ukraine. then on may, the 10th russian troops launched a ground operation coming from russian territory, crossing the border again into haul. keep region. in ne, you cried an officer that there were fresh reports of russian troops at not seeing on that part of the buddha, across from hockey ball off to the offensive. so what the ukranian president of the modem is, the landscape has been saying, is that you cry needs to be able to hit or russian tall gets on the other side,

the board that to stop those attacks play from the air and on the ground. now for the us, that's been a red line us just by far the biggest weapon supply a crime. but it said that it caught those weapons copy. use the hit targets within brush it because it's big escalation, but over recent weights of allies of ukraine, especially in europe, we talking about the united kingdom at frauds, reportedly germany, sweden, who given the green light, the bad weapons to be used to hit russian targets. and now the united states, reportedly, the by the administration has said the same, but ukraine, they can now use its weapons to hit targets with them russia and to jonetta municipal as have been arguing to lift this band on us weapons. but there are restrictions on how you try and can use them, can you just to cut through exactly what they are? so yeah,

there are restrictions. so basically that these weapons can always only be used around the hall key area, the food area at to prevent or strike buffy gains attacks within you crying. so it'd be us is not giving open season for you crying to use, for example, the long range missile systems of it has received from the united states to a tech call gets deeper into russia. there's a real fine line here and a balance being played. i guess by the european countries um, by the united states to note cools at the escalation, which is the chief worry but rusher is going to see this a very different way on choose day speaking in who's beckett's done before this reported announcement from the united states for both the decision from the united states flooded mit pruitt's and the president of russia said that if this happened, it would be an escalation and that would be serious consequences. he will, the specially 5th, densely populated smaller countries in the night. so aligns in europe. find in

response to adjust this friday. dimitri method that proves the form of president of russia in the depth see chem and now the russian security consequence was talking about a nuclear reactions. and he said that this is not a termination or nuclear bluff. unfortunately, a gain, speaking of smaller countries in europe, in the nitro line. so we've yet to hear from president vladimir putin about base. so by senior officials, actually within the, the russian government, like the defense minister, for example. but this is something that, presumably, that will be a statement or some sort of reaction from russia. okay, thank you so much on this, you on home and a correspondence in case so. so hit hit on al jazeera, real levels of violence against politicians and mexico just days before both is goes to the poles and all the flows in iceland, the 5th time this volcano has abrupt it off the line to him and 800 years.

the had a lot of that is more wet and when do you, whether to come 1st, really over the weekend, we'll head down on the, in a moment before us to southeast asia. and you can see in the south china sea dense cloud showing where a tropical system developed moving its way. nia, hi, nan. i in bringing some very heavy rain to southern pots of china behind that a legacy of showers of stretches across indo china. the weather pushing into bonia, and that'll extend it towards pep or new guinea through saturday into sunday. but on sunday, the west of that heavy rain starting to move into the late peninsula. the risk of winds to be felt here, as well as would be a wind warnings were issued across. it has many of them died down now, but it's a southeast corner of astray that will see some very windy and wet weather over the

weekend. it's not an east coast, lo, it is going to bring heavy rain to coastal areas of new south wales that could see some flooding here. and on sunday, another cold front sweets across into western australia. nothing. the temperature down in pub bringing some powerful wins, stormy conditions, and some very heavy rain and heavy rain is set to move across the south island in new zealand. that's going to knock temperatures down at spunk, some warnings across the western path of the south island. the sunshine comes back in on sunday the, the the

. ringback ringback the, the, [000:00:00;00] the, you're watching, you'll just hear a reminder of our top story is the salad from the us prisons and donald trump has been convicted on. so he full felony charges in historical cash money trial. these, the 1st for my american president to be convicted of a criminal offense. at least 14 palestinians had been killed as an ice and as ready as trunks on ellen. mister watson breeze refugee camps of central guns, 3 homes, which august,

which is ready forces have also attacked the current owners or us killing. 3 civilians were given through the site. at least 16 people had been killed in the us. british s strikes on the city of o data, the us and british military side, they targeted 3 locations in the port city as part of it, if it's to stop the booth these from attacking shipping in the red sea mouldings, 30 people had been wounded in the attack i'm trying to say is it has warms the us against interfering and its internal affairs. following a meeting between the 2 countries, defense chase, china is don't. john met his american count upon lloyd austin, at the side lines of the security for him and singapore on friday. and the us has yet to say how the tool proceeded. the face to face meeting was the 1st between the 2 defense chiefs in 3 years. i'm not, kenny joins us now. he is professor of

a strategy and studies at the strategy and institute. he joins us from the camera. thanks very much for being with us here on al jazeera festival. can you just explain it how significant it is that these 2 defense ministers are finally meeting given how tense the relationship has been between the 2 in recent times? or i guess that's going to remain to be same time in terms of what we get from the radio. what was discussed, but i think on the face of it, any sort of dialogue, which is really what these single law dialogue is about. 2 minutes, 21st year of the 21st meeting, also shangri la dialogue. and the fact that these meetings, panic cube in that form is one of its strengths. so is he said, it's the 1st time defense ministers from those 2 enormous powers have actually met face to face, believe lord austin and domes on mit. last to you, bye bye. as a mike about having a face to face meeting is important. we know that tensions have being met sitting

out between the us in china. we know they've been war exercises, military exercises up above both sides in various parts of the, you know, very sensitive region. so if any sort of dialogue at all, i think is a good thing. and i think that not just the us in china, but many others in the range. and we'll be happy to see that all of, of course, they will, china's already come out and say that it's wounds the us against interfering, and it's internal affairs at that meeting. can you just explain what china is referring to this the well, i think it's hard to know the, i mean they're there that may be an oblique reference to a to espionage activity. it might be in my license, so they the price it to the to bad take talk in the us. they may be a whole lot of things, as i said with what a child is complaining about, that it is interesting, actually to think about it in terms all the different ways in which these,

these 2 countries communicate with each other. because china often does a deal in these kinds of vague ideas and is not ideas necessarily but, but uses a deliberately imprecise language in some of these communications. because that is part of a, of an overall sensibility. whereas the us and some of the western countries tend to deal in more direct language. so a honda in fascinating the child is not giving much why in terms of the dates, housing in living, that's fine. yeah, and we haven't heard anything yet uh from the united states in regards to that amazing. i mean, in the last week or so we've, we've seen a, china is military drills around taiwan. that's obviously going to be a topic that both countries as well as the entire region is focused on. i mean, the americans have a very delicate job and trying to manage that dante to night doing it. and that would be another area where i think the chinese,

the rest are into internal affairs because that is the why a, by doing so he's, it's, uh, it's relationship with, with taiwan. and it's about recovering territory. re unifying a china. and it sees that as an internal matter, so no doubt that is by adopting some of that language. so we saw from china as well, but there is tension and fiction on both sides of this. the u. s. has been involved in military novel exercises with the philippines, there being meetings with, with japan and south korea. so there are, of course, the tensions and sensibilities are that the focus agreement is dr. has with the us now. and we've kind of all these things the same and by doing as part of a, a containment strategy and, and perhaps even this tool called a christ know kind of an i as in nice. so over time that to the chinese, a wary of as well. so it is a lot of fixing here, and there are many ways in which things could go wrong,

which just on the lines parts important to keep talking and data. thank you so much, mike. as always, we really do appreciate it as mckinney from the strategy and national university. thanks. i this. what's the south africa now? we have more than half of the votes from his general election on wednesday has been counted. partial results show the governing i n c policy is full and showed of a majority for the 1st time since it took power in 1994. if it fails to win more than 50 percent of the vote, it will be forced to see coalition partners to meet the miller has more from the vote, counting center in the town of midland outside johanna as big they are in the process of validating those results. and that may be why they're just so slow in coming in because i think the expectation was that would be further along in terms of the results of the have been announced. the initial commission says the final results should be announced on sundays and it hasn't changed yet. but as you mentioned,

the about 55 percent of the the results are in the i. c has traditionally done a put a decent job in terms of collecting those results. and the, announcing the outcome to south africans, there was a point where they was meaningful that perhaps more people that turned out at the polls than expected. but it appears that the turnover rate is now at 58 percent and again, all the votes have been counted. and so it could be that there are some delays with in the accounting process, perhaps the use of new digital devices to verify votes. and that could be leading to this delay. it's lower than expected, but we are hearing more from the i see in terms of it's a duty cation process, and we do know the political bodies have until 9 pm. so that's a good time on friday night to lodge any disputes, but it's not likely that any of those disputes would affect the poor, the outcome of the election. ultimately, the results so fall,

the african national congress has consistently viewed about 42 percent. it's now dropped to just below that, so it'd be interesting to see that majority is, wasn't even further, which would contribute to it's needful. coalitions going forward, lead up to sundays general election and mexico continues to be mobbed by killings and violence along with corruption. now perhaps the most significant challenges facing whoever wins the presidency. i'll just say it was less than america and it's at lucy and human reports from western mexico. yes, another episode of political violence in mexico. this one caught on camera dog. the election campaigns from the start in the western state of mutual con, rudy is always drawing large crowds of local farmers. it's an ideal venue for state congress candidates, monica solita to ask for vote for support. this man gives her his blessing,

a symbol of protection. she feels he needs let one of us to take them with him. i'm afraid for my children, i'm afraid for my life because the dangers are great. but even though i ask for government protection will fix you so far, i don't have a single policeman by my side that nothing on your body's the, i mean, let them. nearly 40 candidates and 14 family members have been killed the deadliest campaign in recent mexican history. the most of the victims were running for mayor and other local offices. positions wanted by corrupt politicians and organized crime. is that they could they take control of the office and they, they can by the can be they know the candidates. i mean, it's very, it's very easily the findings by, by the legal force that's not a, as i knew valencia need to movement called citizens revolution. it tracks down kidnappers, and other criminals, for the information provided by ordinary citizens. me said the less now that he's

running for mayor of mutual kinds capital. what a yeah. he has 24 hour government protection and he also has his own private security and an armored car cuz he would pull it up as long as the course that i am heading to a rally. he tells me that state corruption feeds mexico's crime epidemic names because on the internet style, if with the state has a means to stop this, get the doesn't want to come with the crime because he generates dividends. it generates profit, so drives money, delinquent generates money for the authorities, while the victim is just the statistic that a lot of me that they're just getting into the middle console. eula, details supporters that with their vote, he can help change things even though is running under the banner of what many claimed to be as one of mexico's most corrupt party. under the welfare and, and business owners, politicians and organized crime or trying to coordinate candidates or have somebody

can call me that is a long history of corruption, which generally guarantees impunity president and this one little piece of it has all insist that stability is guaranteed despite the electro violence and it's very much associated with that where it needs, this is a way they understood how to go very in a country political this, the realities are both anything else human rights, the, or corruption. now it, so you always plays the corruption cart because you want to preserve or lead the catalyst. that means it's almost a tradition as old as this really just rate yet with the states under attack, by criminal forces. as never before mexico's next president may find that corruption is too high a price to pay for the illusion of stability. to see a newman, al jazeera me to a gun with our seasoned puff and you can
