5:03 am
donald trump's plain remains firmly on the tarmac, the man himself staying behind closed doors through most of the day, leaving his supporters to do most of the talking for him. i think these charges are not legitimate charges. i think what is happening right now in our nation is very sad and i feel that the direction that we are headed is very dangerous since the manhattan district attorney's office, confirmed trumps indictment over hush money payments to a former adult film star speculation has amounted over how trumps arraignment will play out? they've got nothing and its potential effect on the country. trump's lawyers say they'll vigorously fight the charges and framed the indictment as political persecution. it's believe trump will surrender on tuesday, and it's expected he will arrive here at the district attorney's office, where he will have his photograph and fingerprints take him. he will then walk down

5:06 am
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 a number of people from outside the city of new york in there. on tuesday. angry protested, surrounded mexican, the president undressed manual lopez over the doors car as he visited the city with 39 migrants died in a fire earlier this week. if i began inside detention center here, that what is very close to the us border investigation is underway into why 68 mail

5:08 am
human rights for migrants in the country. but the big question is whether this negligence, perhaps even homicide of migrants will change the big picture in the way that met her, treat people that are often going through here and trying to get to the united states at the moment. the policy is heavily into prevention. there's a militarized force, the national guard that seeks to stop them getting to the border with the states. there's also a detention center, not just the qualities, but across different parts of the country that been compare by some migrant to over crowded prisons. will any of that change? that is a i said that is yet to be answered. a co doors, constitutional court is allowing impeachment proceedings to go ahead against present when will last, so he's accused of embezzlement. the decision has sparked a major political crisis as alice on to round p at he not reports. ecuadorian president guillermo last looks increasingly isolated as he begins the latest fight
