2:00 am
many of us are living with the effects of ecological breakdown. so what would be stories in which technology hopefully promised of salvation for the planning. billionaires big tech and an unwavering faith in innovation alley re investigates where the tech no optimism is helping or hindering the fight against climate change is a destruction self delusion. it is key. i just masking over it all hail the planet episode to on al jazeera, unprompted and uninterrupted discussions from our london broadcast center on al jazeera. ah former us president donald trump is expected to voluntarily surrender to face
2:01 am
criminal charges next week. but the current president remains tight lipped. ah, ah, hello, i'm terry johnston. this is alex, is there a live from doha? also in the news, mexico's president is met with protests. as he visits the city with 39 migrants died in a fire earlier this week. and a stampede during the distribution of food aid in pakistan it kills at least 11 people. ah, former us president donald trump is expected to appear in a new york court on tuesday. the 1st a former president to face criminal charges,
2:02 am
the case against him involves a hush money payment to adult film star stormy daniels ahead of the 2016 election. trump was formerly indicted on thursday and is expected to plead not guilty to the charges. is expected that trump voluntarily surrender meeting, he won't be arrested. he'll be processed as a defendant. he'll be fingerprinted and have mug shots taken. he'll have the charges against him read in court and to a plea. then be released with another court date. he won't have to post bail or legal experts say he's still at least a year away from actually going to trial. so he could be in court during the 2024 presidential election. us does not bar people from running for office over legal cases. he's also facing multiple other investigations by the justice department, district attorneys in manhattan and in georgia. and a new york attorney general is possible. he'll end up in court again in one of
2:03 am
those cases. well, joining us live from new york is gabriel elizondo now. so gabriel, a lot has happened, but i imagine it's all starting to sink in there. ah, yeah, that's right. this district attorney's office in court house complex. you see behind me there is really going to be the center of the political world, at least here in the united states, in the coming days after this announcement of this indictment by this grand jury here in manhattan here in new york city. now this was about this money that trump allegedly pay this former adult film star $132000.20 to keep quiet about their alleged affair. but beyond that, that in of itself is not necessarily a crime. it is how that money was allegedly paid, that is part of this indictment, and that is the real key part. it's them back to that according to the grand jury
2:04 am
and what they were, the district attorney was investigating was, did was, did trump falsify a financial records in that payment? and then the bigger issue beyond that, perhaps even a felony could be. did he intentionally do that to hide another crime? that is what we hope dick glean from when we do see the grand jury indictment, which we have not seen yet by the way, because it's still under seal and has not been released to the public. that could happen monday, tuesday, maybe even wednesday, that we could, it could be re releasing sent out to the public and we can get a better sense of it. but beyond that, what we are hearing is that donald trump and his attorneys plan to fight this. he says that he is innocent, that he's done nothing wrong. this is what one of his attorneys had to say. this is a historic case, a monumental case case,
2:05 am
but will have wide reaching ramifications. and it really today in, i feel very concerned about the ruble in this country because it endangers the rule of law americans. today's donald trump, tomorrow it's a democrat of the day after it, sir, and wrote your friend the day after that that you were me. and that's what concerns me when a prosecutor couldn't use the law and the system to go west or political opponent. it's something that frightens me. gabriel, for this coming arraignment then the security preparations must be enormous. they are, it involves the secret service which is in charge of protecting the president and all ex presidents as well. it involves the f, b i which as a huge field office here in new york city. it involves the new york police department, the biggest police department in the united states, and also the court security officials and security officials at the district
2:06 am
attorney's office. there is so much it's unprecedented about this a former president arriving here in downtown new york city. ready at this building to surrender and turned himself in, will they drive him to an underground parking lot, where he is not seen by the public or any of the journalists that are out sat out of the front door here? will he be taken through a back entrance or will trump himself demand to be driven to the front door and even address the media before he goes in? these are all things that are unclear, but all. busy bring up incredible security concerns, not to mention. trump has encouraged his supporters to protest and not only that, but there could be counter protests as well. add all that up here in the heart of new york city. and there is incredible amount of security precautions being taken, some of which we see extra secure, extra police outside the da's office right now, a few extra barricades, but a lot that we don't see as well. that's happening behind closed doors. gabriel,
2:07 am
thanks so much indeed for that. well, some of the trump's supports have dismissed indictment and repeated the accusation that the charges are politically motivated. i mean, there's all kinds of skeletons in the closet, and that can good several good. they do it to so i've been calling, i mean, it could happen to me. it could happen to you. it could happen to anybody. and i think it's kind of scary and people need to wake up and see this. and actually, i think it's helping him. i think he's gonna get more votes now. i guess there was like, democrats try to get trump like not to run again around the philip koski is a former federal prosecutor in the united states. he says that trumpet may find it difficult to stick to the bail conditions. i fully expect, given what we've seen so far,
2:08 am
the judge to order him that if he's gonna remain out on pretrial release, he cannot not try to attempt to harass, threaten or intimidate any of the witnesses, such as stormy daniels, michael cohen. any of the prosecutors, especially alvin brag or the judge. and that's going to be a pretty big mine field for him. not to be able to, to post on social media or to denigrate them and rally speeches. because that's his bread and butter. i would have said that the new york protest was going to be minor if anything at all, tracking them as i do i, i follow on social media, many of the rabble rousers in new york. but the announcement today of the georgia congresswoman green going there to spearhead this protest that's really energized the right on social media like i haven't really seen since prior to january 6th. so i think that she could draw a significant crowd and could bring in
2:09 am
a number of people from outside the city of new york in there on tuesday. for one person who's definitely not getting involved is a current us present, joe biden, who as you might expect is being asked repeatedly for his opinion. a with other news now. angry protested surrounded mexico and the president undress manual lopez abra daughter's cart. as he visited the city where 39 migrants died in a fire earlier this week, the fire began inside a detention center in here that waters very close to the u. s. border and investigation is underway in to why 68 male migrants appeared to have been left
2:10 am
locked in their cell while the fire burned. 5 people have been arrested so far. let's get more on this from john hallman in mexico city. so john, how is this all playing out for the president? i, we heard much from him. hey, we haven't heard a lot from him today. and it's actually been interesting because this visit to see about qualities where this tragedy took place. late on monday night was actually a pre arranged when we had to go meet some government officials there. but there was speculation that was gonna visit the hospital to try and see the people that survived. the tried to survive the fire. he didn't do that. and he didn't even talk to the medic who's stuff is the information that we have. although he's health minister that his car was surrounded. she was saying by protest as who were talking about presumably the lack of action will president lopez over the door
2:11 am
has said that he's going to do is set up to commit human rights commission to look into the human rights of migrants going through this country. i suppose the big picture in this is, is anything going to change with mexico and the way it treats migrants because it's not just about this via migrants heading through mexico. many of them from central america or even a field have said that they badly treated in the country. basically, there's a militarized fools to national gov that's been arrayed against them. there's detention centers like the one and see at, at quad is not just there, but dozens across different parts of the country. migrants have said that they're basically little better than prisons. they suffer from over crowding. they've said that the food in the sanitary conditions are up to scratch. the question is whether that and the treatment and the attitude towards migrants will change in this country. i think the fact that president lopez over the door obviously didn't want to get his picture taken whenever, with any of the survivors of the fire, didn't want to be seen anywhere near the situation. british did
2:12 am
a wide berth. that gives you an indication that perhaps things might change that much. the reality on the ground in mexico is that this country has a relationship with its neighbor to the north. the united states. and part of that relationship depends on it's stopping migrants from getting to the us border. the u . s. really does want that and puts a lot of pressure on mexico to try and stop them on route. hence the priority, not perhaps in caring for migrants but in trying to hold their progress or even send the back to where they came from in this country. and there's no real sense of that policy is going to win. tom homan in mexico city for us there. thank you. a 2nd greek rail employee has been detained in connection with frederick train. disaster. 57 people were killed when a passenger service collided head on with the freight train. the man detained was on duty as a station supervisor at the time of the accident. he's been charged with disruption

people have been killed in a stampede or 2 ramadan food distribution center monitoring aid has been a lifeline for many patients. struggles with deep economic crisis. the european union has announced additional funding to help lebanon deal with this economic crisis in the past to use support has only been directed towards syrian refugees, but to 1000000 lebanese also in need of help pass, the situation worsens. in their reports from barrett, the devaluation of lebanon's currency has made life difficult for many anger is growing more than 3 years into an economic crisis that shows no sign of improving in the past, international support focused on the more than $1000000.00 syrian refugees in the country, the highest number of refugees per capita in the world. that's changed. the european union now says 2200000 lebanese need financial assistance. that's more than
2:22 am
a 3rd of the population. the blocks commissioner for crisis management announced additional funding during a visit to be route, but made clear, it won't be enough to resolve the challenges. a 20 percent increase compared to last year. but as you know, he went dead and 8th is not a sustainable long term solution. this continued reforms, his country needs political consolidation, discontinued the election of a president. this country needs a government with full powers in place and this. busy country needs an agreement with the international community, specifically with the international monetary fund. the envoy reiterated the international community a long standing position, the financial lifeline needed to rescue the economy is through
2:23 am
a deal with the international monetary fund. political leaders have refused to cooperate because that would entail losing influence over the states resources. instead, some officials blame the presence of syrian refugees for the crisis. the authorities of lebanon, of their own responsibility for providing basic services to the citizens of lebanon . and let me be very clear. the current crisis of lebanon and financial problems in inflation was not caused by c. d. s injures. international aid is at least for now holding off lebanon's transition into a failed states. but already the policy of no policy making has impacted all aspects of life, including an all but paralyzed public sector. then they're also data reports by the campaign group. ethical consumer is accusing farm managers in spain

2:25 am
having a stream needed time speaking out or making sure that a key issue is that there's been a massive kind of passing the buck between different people who should all be working together to create change. you know, the authority point to retailers repay the point government, it keeps popping rounds, whereas actually, you know, supermarket are profiting from the ration and they do that or need to taking accountability for it. i think it's easy when we pay that one step removed the equitation to be saying, you know, it's not an issue is not, but the condition happy. it's 20 years and it kind of doesn't fly anymore to just say it's down the line in the farms, both the governments, but we can't do anything about it. i think that's probably a bit of naive t from many of us about what goes on in europe. and particularly when it comes to migrant workers, undocumented migrant. often the most secret society people really content blind di
