donald trump to appear in a new york court on tuesday after becoming the 1st us president to face criminal charges. ah, you're watching my for my self, i'm getting you navigate the also coming up. tornadoes sweep through us, faith, killing for and taking out power for thousands of people. 11 people are crushed during food distribution. in the city of crunchy and ecuador, the president expresses outrage after the constitutional court allowed his impeachment trial to proceed. ah,

hello donald trump is due to appear in a new york court on tuesday, where he'll become the 1st former us president of faith criminal charges. the details are under seal, but the grand jury that voted for the indictment was investigating a payment made to adult film star stormy daniels during the 2016 presidential election campaign. gabrielle is on the reports from new york. a handful of protesters came out friday at trump tower in new york. as news of the former president's indictment filtered through about 6 kilometers to the south outside the manhattan district. attorney's office is a patient among the world's media is also building as a date with history draws closer. but back in florida, 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. a

are not legitimate charges, i think what is happening right now in our nation is very sad and i feel the direct and 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 bill bigger asleep 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 a long hallway to make his 1st court appearance at an arraignment when he is free to leave. the big question then is, will trump come outside to address the media?

one person, apparently unwilling to be drawn into the debate, current u. s. president joe biden. thank you for the bar. i'm no comedy outside the district attorney's office. the weight is on now just days away from a former president to show up and surrender to face the judicial system that is waiting for him. gabriel's ando al jazeera new york, donald trump's lawyer says the case is politically motivated. this is a historic case, a monumental case case, but will have wide reaching ramifications and it, it really to day in i feel very concerned about the rove on this country. course it endangers the rule of law for all americans to dates donald trump, to march the democrat of the day after it, sir, and wrote your friend there after 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. ron philip poke ski is a former u. s. federal prosecutor. he says, trump may find it difficult to stick to the bail conditions. i fully expect, given what we've seen so far, the judge to order him that if he's gonna remain out on pre trial 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 bragg, 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 a number of people from outside the city of new york. in there, on tuesday, tornadoes have swept across 6 american states, leaving a trail of destruction in tens of thousands of households without power. the worse of the damage is in arkansas, where 3 people died and dozens are injured. the twisters shredded roof tops they uprooted trees and destroyed a small shopping sensor. the storms come just a week after $26.00. people died when an unusually powerful tornado. hit mississippi. it will say use an airplane and, and had to take higher is like they're about the blows. that's what it sounds like

. a lot of pressure. it was quick less than 15. 20 seconds. the only way we knew the tornado was come and leave the world on the way we knew it looks like it was then someone to rented, the manage to lady peter rent together. and in illinois, it's where nato is being blamed for the collapse of a theatre rooster. and the concert in the city of belvedere one person died and $28.00 were injured. paramedics searching the rebels for people who may still be trust. police say there were 260 people inside. at the time. lisa recovered the bodies of 8 people, including 2 children who died while trying to illegally cross from canada into the united states. their bodies were found that a marcia area in the st. lawrence river, police say they were members of 2 families of romanian and indian descent. and they're still looking for a 9 person. he was last seen driving

a boat found close to the bodies angry protest, or surrounded the core of the mexican president undress minute lopez, over the door when he visited, sir dodged horace on friday. earlier this week, 39 people died in a fire in a migrant detention center in the city which is close to the us border. an investigation is under way into why 68 men appear to have been left locked in their cell while the fire burns. 5 people have been arrested. john holman, has more from mexico city president andres manuel lopez over the door of mexico on friday visited see about quad is a town in which at least $39.00 migrants died in a fire that broke out in a migrant detention center in the town. on monday night, but his visit was actually to investigate what happened to see the survivors, perhaps in the hospital. it was pre raised and it was local with local state

officials and the president actually didn't go anywhere near those survivors. obviously wary of a photo opportunity of, or of any sorts of publicity around this case. what has happened off to the events of monday night is that some official security cards, a migrant himself who was accused of starting the fire, have been arrested. a commission has been announced by the president looking into human rights, the migrants in the country. but the big question is whether this negligence, perhaps even homicide of migrants will change the big picture in a way that met her, treat people that are going through here and trying to get to the united states at the moment. the policy is heavily into prevention. there's a militarized poor national guard that seeks to stop them getting to the board with the state. there's also a detention center, not just the bodies, but across different parts of the country that being compared by some migrant to

overcrowded prisons. will any of that change? that is a question that has yet to be. that is really forces say they've shot and killed a palestinian man near the end of some off compound. they accused the 26 year old of grabbing an officers gun. the incident comes as muslims observed, the fasting month of ramadan. tension have been high since prime minister benjamin netanyahu. the far right coalition government took office late last year. so don's transition to civilian leadership has been delayed. a final agreement was expected to be signed on saturday. it would have named the civilian government and paid the way for a full transition from military rule. but disagreements remain about the integration of the paramilitary rapids support forces into the army. in pakistan, at least 11 people have been killed and dozens injured in a crush at a food distribution center. many pockets donnie's are dependent on humanitarian aid . that is, the nation struggles with

a stampede efforts to control the crowd made things worse. some people drawn to a nearby stream, others were trampled underfoot. money, inflation is a 50 year high and families are struggling to survive. the cost of basic cars like flower for ordinary 50 percent this past year. families the dead say they're tired of political infighting, enter demanding solution. millions of women have been forced to leave their homes to get some free food. why? because of the government, the prime minister, keep flaming formally the iran contra everything. com is not responsible. he is responsible. there's no gas, no electricity, no water. everything is so expensive. they should die of shame. police have sealed off the area. they've already arrested several people. the organizers are being blamed. failing to inform local authorities about the event, but so long as pakistan the families remain in dire conditions. more tragedies like this one could be difficult to avoid. denton monahan,

official said people panicked and started pushing each other to collect food. ro hang or refugees are struggling to make ends meet that after the un cut back food a because of funding shortfalls. and the cuts coincide with the muslim fasting month of ramadan. tanveer chowdhury has more from cox's bazaar whitford. russians from the un food agency had been cut many in this can fear they'll soon go hungry. cramped in a makeshift tank with 9 other family members mala, bono, mrs. are home in may and mark she left everything behind during the crack down by the military. down i left them last i got that. i didn't like that right now. we are facing difficulties getting adequate amount of ration. sometimes we have to buy items from outside with what i have a savings. we happen back home, our family will pharmacy. so it's much easier to manage all life, unlike hair getting my bow brick,

when incidents or fire violence and threat of flood. and landslide during monsoon season makes life challenging. here for roha i it's hard living here, but somehow we are managing during ramadan with the limited rashness, we guess, but it's just not enough large family like hours. many rowing i said they were used to receiving different types of food aid during ramadan and previous year. but that stopped export things. the ration been provided or insufficient. and any further decrees that posed grave health problems for the ro hangup and the m home of the diana mother marcella bishop mentioned in mother the recent cut in rations is worrying people being as most don't have any other income shortage to the bottle here in the mosque, we don't even have an after meal arrangement for the community. unlike indira hines state in la garza, ah, none of their shows more than a 1000000 growing of muslims, but it's government is gradually losing patience with the international community, saying it's failing to help resolve the crisis. and the holy month of ramadan most

growing are up, it is said they are thankful that they are safe here. but their lives still remain a daily struggle. i made all the from iron tribulation, most still dream of returning home one day, bernard shaw day. i'll just it cox's bizarre. the european union has announced additional funding to help lebanon deal with its economic crisis. in the past, a new support has been directed at syrian refugees in lebanon. but there are now 2000000 lebanese who are also in need of help as the economy continues. it's free fall, zayna hood, that reports from beirut. 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, the international support focused on the more than 1000000 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 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 age is not a sustainable long term solution. this continued reforms, this continued political consolidation, discontinued the election of president. this country needs a government with full power in place in this country needs an agreement with the international community. specifically with the international monetary fund of the envoy reiterated the international community is long standing position,

the financial lifeline needed to rescue the economy. is through 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 thought of the use of lebanon, of their own responsibility for providing basic services to the citizens of lebanon . and let me be very clear. the current crisis in lebanon, and financial params, 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 as

well, it's russia's turn to take on the rotating presidency of the un security council and key just calling it a bad joke. on april, the 1st it, once russia removed from the council altogether from the un, our diplomatic editor, james bass, has more every month the presidency of the un security council rotates among its 50 members. today, russia is assuming the presidency for the month of april. that's deeply controversial because when russia had the presidency last year was february, the month that they invaded ukraine, there are people calling for russia to be kicked off the security council or kicked out of the united nations. but if you look at the rules and you look at the un charter, those things are not possible. what we do know is that later this month, the russian foreign minister, so gay law brockovich will be here in new york. you'll be sharing a number of meetings including one in defense of this document, the u. n's, founding charter of the diplomat. say that is very cynical when it's russia that is

currently breaching this charter with its ongoing war. james bays al jazeera of the united nations acquit doris constitutional court has given to go ahead for the impeachment proceedings against president guillermo law. so he's accused of embezzlement. the decision has caused a political crisis as alice under him. catchy reports and press, you didn't get a more last look increasingly isolated as he begins the latest fight for his political life. he surrounded himself with supporters, then his wife, as he rejected the 2nd impeachment trial against them in less than a year. this time for allegedly embezzling, make fun stuff. he insisted he is a victim of a conspiracy against them. main nice becky, i am outraged by this attack on my integrity, my reputation, and also that of our home. with my hand on my heart, ecuadorian, i reiterate to you, i am innocent. this week the country's constitutional court gave the go ahead for

the impeachment proceedings against the conservative former banker. the court accuses him of allowing corruption in the country, state oil companies. and it comes as less of struggled to tackle a surgeon violent crime and worse and in an army problems. he now faces a vote in a hostile congress, an abysmal approval ratings. even conservative observers in the country say it has become increasingly hard for any political sector to defend them. what was that? was your political? should i made you this impeachment trial is happening after law, so suffered heavy defeats and local elections and in a referendum last month, among a worsening security crisis. there is also a crisis in the health system yet. and i think the generalized discontent might play a role in pushing legislators to make a political decision more than a simple judicial one unless somebody and that's without the national assembly as up to 45 days to investigate the charges. housing laughter will require 92 of the

assemblies, a 137 votes. other political experts feared a removal could impact equities already weak institutions, but insist the president as only himself to blame on the quantity to get picked up by the minister missus bullet one could worry about economic and social effects that this political crisis could have in ecuador, but the reality is that it's the economic and social crisis in the country that brought us to this point. believe this impeachment trial is nothing else than a way of trying to solve the whole settle failures of last was administration. if you did a, if the vote to remove him passes, lasso would be replaced by based president, that friend betrayal, a former medical doctor and a political novice. valesa could instead choose to the south congress before the vote, triggering fresh elections that given the president's approval ratings, most believe he would certainly lose allison that i'm bet. and just either japan's prime minister has an alan's. he is bringing

a new policy is to increase the birth rate including doubling the budget for child related policies. japan is struggling to cope with record low birth rates with $450.00 schools closing every year. lena barclay reports the classrooms a few more to junior high school stand empty for years. more students have left here than enrolled after 7 decades of operating the small village school in japan. so cuz she my prefecture is preparing to close its doors for good job. they say, when i 1st heard from the principal that the school was closing down, it was sad, but i also thought it was such a wish to close the school with a long history like this one. it's a nationwide phenomenon. the government says 9000 schools have shut down between 20022020. as birth rates continue to decline, the cost of education, childcare, and the child reason burden on women are cited as some of the main causes. last

year, annual birth dropped below 800000 for the 1st time, 8 years earlier than projected. what i think the whole day this is here from the period when the school had the most pupils, they were about a 160 of them. while we and ita are the last 2 students who will ever graduate from the school to the see, i don't know if there will be any children left in the village by the time i'm in nursery school teacher. but if there are, i want to come back and teach you the government house prioritize boosting, birthrates, promising to double the budget for child related policies and program. for the small village, it may already be too late. the question remains whether japan as a whole still has time to reverse its demographic decline. lien alcohol cli al jazeera. that's it for me. thanks for watching. the news continues here on al jazeera,
