the hello and welcome to our show. i'm seeing busy in berlin. a jury in new york has found a former us president donald trump guilty in his harsh one case in manhattan. the decision makers, trump the 1st former or sitting us president to be convicted of a crime. the jury concluded trunk falsified documents to cover up a $130000.00 payment to silence and adult film actress ahead of the 2016 election. trump was found guilty on of $34.00 counts. trump, last of the verdict, insisting he did nothing wrong. let's have a listen. this is a great price. the is going to be november. and they know what happens here. everybody knows what happens here.

man, it's ok i'm finding, finding for our constitution. and we'll keep the meanwhile manhattan district attorney allen alvin. brad rather defended his decision to bring the case following months of attacks from trump and his backers. while this defendant, 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 favor over to benjamin alvarez group in washington, benjamin a historic moment. trump, now the 1st former us president convicted of a crime. that's right, this isn't

a president moment that will go down and us history because this vedic plunges. so the 2020 full presidential race into uncharted territory. donald j trump is now the 1st form, a us president to be found guilty of felony crimes. and it was quite a surprise that the verdict was reached as so quickly to day after drawers deliberated for nearly 12 hours over the last day. 2 days donald trump will be sentenced on july 11th. so that's the next big data. it to look forward to a sentencing that will happen just days before you officially becomes the presidential nominee of the republican party. then you mean what concretely can we expect from that sentencing? so the charges against donald trump, the so called non violent class e felonies. the lowest level in new york, and even though each of these a 34 accounts carry the possibility of a years in prison, many legal experts say that incarceration is and not

a given. that is unlikely that tremble be incarcerated given. he hasn't previously been convicted of a crime. it's not a given at the same time. it's possible. if truck ends up going to prison, can he still be present? texted technically so is, is a candidate for a federal office. trump is restricted only by requirements in the u. s. constitution, those requirements are quite straightforward. the president must be at least 35 years old, must be a natural born us citizen and must have lived in the us for at least a 14 years. so there's nothing on criminal conviction as a convict of how he can still run for office. and it's donald trump is sentence into prison. and when's the presidency? that of course, would oppose a very practical and complications. and some legal experts also say that a resulting constitutional, a crisis of this would require that his senses may be suspended so that he could fulfill his duty. as of the nation's chief executive benjamin were less than 6

months out from election day itself. we know that trump can still be elected in theory, he could still serve in prison as president. how is this likely though to effect this campaign going forward? how is it likely to affect his chances of becoming present in the 1st place? so we've heard already from his a campaign where they said also after, after this verdict was announced that they are prepared to appeal. he will almost certainly not have to begin subbing any sentence until after all of these appeals. i've done that would certainly take place off to the end of every election. so this is the far from over. what we can expect from this campaign is that they will try to financially capitalize this. as a did with his impeachment. we expect that they will try something a similar now because just minutes off to the vatike was announced, the trump campaign send out a fundraising e mail in which trump said i am a political prisoner. and the only portal that the trump campaign actually use us

to accept donations was also down a we also try to access that we can expect that the trump company will and manage to financially capitalize from today's the day that they of course project, right? that's been human alvarez gruber in washington. thank you for big news out of the us officials, they're saying present joe biden is given ukraine. the go ahead to use some american weapons to strike inside russia. the decision marks a significant reversal in policy by washington, which has restricted the use of its farms to avoid the risk of a direct confrontation with moscow. russia has intensified attacks against you trained a recent months, often from sites on its own territory. cable that will be allowed to use us weapons against those russian targets that have nato as urgent members to take the same step with george barrows, as a russia and ukraine analyst at the institute for the study of war in washington,

he told me how team is now permitted to use american weapons and what still remains off limits. so yes, right now we know that the ukrainians are only allowed to use our artillery for counter battery fire. we know that the ukrainians are allowed to use gimler as the highmark, the rockets to be able to strike russian forest concentrations, command control, logistics, pokers, and that sort of thing. off the table right now or do you pay instability to use attack on longer range procedure in the fire missiles at the head other targets. we also know that this is specifically only for the border areas adjacent, the harkey of, and not the rest of the other regions of russia. does this potentially open the door to other permissions to use some of those weapons that are currently off limits? i think so, you know, the pilot we've seen with all kinds of aid from america going to ukraine, is that it's always sort of a small amount of quantity, small policy change. but this is the 1st tiny step that becomes necessary for

larger changes and larger directions. for a long time, not striking russian territory has been a sacred cow, and the russians have been able to leverage a defacto sanctuary zone to optimize its rear area for economic efficiency to project force and to ukraine. and now with us reevaluating the russians to have this and exploit the sanctuary, i think we're actually going to start seeing that we actually can indeed push back on the russians. the russians are entitled to a safe space and that we are able to strike legitimate russian military targets without any sort of catastrophic escalation. you believe in this will have both tactical ramifications for khaki, but also strategic ramifications for the entire war. or that would be my hope in my intent. right now. there's a tremendously large area around ukraine where the russians have set up their logistics there for sustainment and everything that they're using to project to a power into ukraine. any command or when they're conducting operations. they have to make a choice between efficiency and sustainment and protection by opening up more of

your brain. i hope, as we hope that the policy makers will continue to go down this path. we will enable the ukrainians to threaten more. the russian rear force the russians to actually invest resources and protection force the russians to turn their limited air defense and electronic warfare. athens to the interior shop and therefore degrade, rush, the ability to get material to the front end ukraine. there's been a lot of debate on this issue, especially here in europe. what kind of dangers does it bring with it briefly if you can? sure. i think there's, there's actually very, very small risk. we can never completely out rule the risk of any kind of nuclear escalation, but you know, if you're going to be intellectually robust about it, it's very small because even if we can work to use a weapon on the same logic that kept the safe during the cold war with nutrition for destruction. that logic still holds true today. final question, real quick, does this put more pressure on european allies or less pressure on them?

you know, i think it actually, uh, it puts a little bit of both. i mean, up for many european states, they've been the ones that are been leading the charge, united kingdom, and france and sweden in poland. i think the pressure will increase on germany for certain, but on some other european states. they've been the ones pressure in washington. all right, george balls and washington. thank you very much. thanks for having me. let's have a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. thousands turned out in jerusalem for the annual l. g b t q. pride. march events is usually a mix of both politics and partying. but it's taken on a more somber aspect this year. a mid the conflict between israel and from us and gaza. the l g b g q, community dedicated to march to calling for the release of hostages, still being held by him. us so many as prime minister. what about gold all but it says his government is set to recognize palestinian statehood. it will become the
