1:03 pm
and natal stronger. on this very day in 1949 um the washington treaty, nate was founding a treatable signed in washington under a it's hard to imagine in a better way of celebrating our on the mercy than to have been on the calming, a full member of the alliance for many people in finland, joining nato gives them a sense of security. as the situation in europe has changed quite much over the last year. i think it gives a lot of new opportunity for better safety in the future. so we have been for a long time, we've been relying on our independence on neutrality, and now we just realized that that's not the path of the future. now we need to look for new options for the future pain. some ways i think it would make a safer place, but then again, we don't know what russia will do and might. yeah,
1:04 pm
it's so the big question for me, i think so. it's better than nothing. you know, it's yeah, alone. it's not it's no chance in this situation. now we are part of part of western europe. we could come to so we bought off this not more than a lawyer so that brings the secure with out 0 correspondence saw working across this story. we've got russell soda in istanbul, dosage a barrier. moscow, but we begin coverage with john ho, who's in ukraine's capital. keith. jonah, it was the war in ukraine that led to this major change in nato. his makeup wasnt adrian. in the simplest of terms, the fact of russia's invasion of ukraine last year from to an urgent rethink by
1:05 pm
countries close to russia and on its borders about their security and about the extent to which russia might pose a threat to them. in the future, you may recall in particular, towards the western end of things, the small baltic nations were particularly nervous about that, but they of course, were already native members. they benefited from the guarantee of collective security provided by article 5. this notion that an attack against one is an attack against all not so finland also on the baltic with its 1300 plus kilometer border with russia nor. busy sweden, both of which, deciding last year to give up their long held neutrality and apply for membership. finland's membership bid has been unanimously approved by all the other 30 members of nato. sweden's is only currently being held by turkey. and it's worth remembering in all of this that among president putin's presumed war aims in
1:06 pm
invading ukraine. one of them is thought to be specifically to frustrate with nato's ongoing eastern expansion. well, nature plan today, i think, will tell you that he's achieved exactly the opposite of that. with this very rapid expansion of nato taking in finland and possibly in the near future. sweden as well to many facts date. i was there as a whole them live in ukraine's capital cave. sweden also set aside its neutrality and applied to join nato at the same time as finland, but its membership has yet to be approved by turkey and hungary. all nato members must approve a bid for a country to become a member. anchor accuses stockholm of not doing it off to crack down on the kurdish groups. i'll just here is russell soda is in istanbul for us. is there any indication result that turkey is any closer to approving swedes and spend the ship while the officials and the sources that have been speaking to their say that
1:07 pm
despite several tall, several meetings, that hasn't been that much of the progress and the general practitioner here is that nothing is going to happen till the election is being held in turkey, which is going to take place on may 14. so till that time, no progress is expected. but since the beginning of this negotiations off, getting them to be them to join nato trick has been quite clear, making a distinction between phil and mc them took you will see that this agreements are, will be the nothing was filled out. however natal, by the time, was insisting that these 2 countries to be, to these 2 companies to be taken to need to be given the, to be given the expression to meet the as a package. but then need to change that position and trick as rectified. phonetic session, but when it comes to be this quite complicated, just recently, during the prayer that the visit or feelings by president drunkard, greg madeline has been insistently asked whether chick is going to approve see the next session to nato or not. and he has repeatedly said that turkey has given
1:08 pm
a severe visual toward if he's $124.00 people named this at least of the names that tricky wants to be then to extra, to handle that to ankara of it. when you come to see the site, it's quite complicated to say that regarding the domestic law, it's going to be very, very difficult. the last amendments are going to recall if you are going to be required. and also they have concerns regarding the human rights violations as well . but then kind of said that the security matter and if insisting on that. so the sources here are selling, telling us that field election, that's for sure that the turkish parliament or the ones government is not going to do much too fast. in this process, i'll just say was russell said i live in his tumble. many thanks, did russell, and let's bring in tevo's here. evelyn, who's a professor of world politics at the university of helsinki, georgia now live from helsinki professor. good to have you with us. and we've been
1:09 pm
describing finland as having been neutral. would it be more accurate perhaps, to have to coal, finland a non alliance rather than neutral? yes. in finance? there's spinner poly, see of not aligning finland militarily and many have expected that when russia has been receiving your jo previously in ukraine. things wouldn't think it's time to join nato and it never happened on the last ear. now the great majority of the population of politicians are in favor of nato membership in finland. it was a watershed moment last year change of opinion, and today the accession itself. so how do people feel about russia saying that it's now going to bolster its military presence along its border with finland? does not concern them? well, it's kind of of these step one is nate to expands to the border of russia. there
1:10 pm
will be more military installations of russia, their car and all of these more generally. i think most people in finland thing that finland, the safer under the protection of the feast, the article of nato, in most imaginable circumstances. of course, in they're less likely circumstance of a major conflict between nato and russia. nuclear war or something like that spin and would be a front blind pantry and therefore it might be more easily destroyed or something by russia in that situation. but the more circumstances it's considered to increase security of finland, does it matter that neighboring sweden is not yet a member of nashville, even though it's applied to join? well, it matters a little bit in the sense that there was this process of joining together. and since may feel a bit bad that sweden was left behind, most people understand that 1st from finland, it's more of
1:11 pm
a security concern being aboard a country with russia to join nato and for sweden all so it's better to have finland in nato as a buffer zone l. nature buffer zone between sweden and russia rather than fiend. and also being all so more malicious think it's unfortunate but not something we shouldn't worry too much. finland as an 8th amendment would probably make many efforts to try to get sweden in as soon as possible. you talked about this, the shift in public opinion to 2 people becoming in favor of joining nature, what. what was behind that? i mean, russia has always been a threat to finland. what, what's changed? what changed was on the one hand to politicians 1st heard hootin saying like if there should be some kind all moratorium,
1:12 pm
most stop 2 countries close to russia. joining, nate to which things failed, would be a trick to solver any deal, finland, infinity. that was always the thing that we have an option to join nato, but we not using that option. so on the one hand, the idea that somebody is trying to get that option away, finland has a history of being a bowl or play card in like tools. so in game some bigger nations, from styling to hitler and all that. and then 2nd, of course, russia being aggressive as ducking and bordering country that snow tornado member infinity. people started asking what might be a similar country that might be object of that kind of aggression next. and that was like time to join nato. good talk to professor many thanks to you for being with us. thank you. here with a new sound from al jazeera still to come on the program. it queued up,

1:17 pm
relate to that hush money payment, he made to the adult film star back in 2016 when he was running for president i we, i remember will hear this for the 1st time because this has been a secret proceeding taking place inside the court with the grand jury meeting to deliberate possible charges. we are not going to be able to see what happens in the courtroom on videotape. the judge is not allowing a camera in the court. there will be some still photos, but the expectation is that the charges will be red. donald trump will enter a not guilty plea. and for what we've been hearing so much about, we will have more details. the grand jury is supposed to be secret. everything we know so far is because of witnesses who come out and spoken to the media from the proceedings. people like michael cohen are the former fixer of donald trump and
1:18 pm
other witnesses as well. they have told their side of the story, but we're going to hear from da albin bragg, the district attorney himself. and the case that he expects to bring for the 1st time now that he is free to discuss it, he is expected to have a press conference later in the day. and then later tonight, after president trump goes through all of the processing in the court appearance, he is expected to fly back to morrow logo in florida and address the public from they are as well and a video recording. it's a little after what is speech. 17 minutes past 6 in the morning, but over the roar of traffic behind you there, i can hear some shouting what's, what's going on there right now? oh yeah, absolutely. yeah. there's a lot of barricades set up for security. a lot of heavy police presence heavy media presence, we're hearing some of the some shouting going on as well. i honestly can't see
1:19 pm
exactly what's happening, but a little bit of a, a disturbance. but there's a lot of police on the scene. a lot of security here, a lot of media here, lot of tension just waiting for this process to happen. protesters are expected. one very prominent congresswoman and president trump supporter has called for a demonstration in the park across the street from the court house. i. so a lot of anticipation, a lot of people expected i actually ran into some trump supporters outside trump tower yesterday, including a woman who had come up all the way from nashville, tennessee to see the proceedings. here's what she told me about why she came. i've been following trump. i voted for twice and i as well, he says more support than he's ever had before. and it all the seem to come to a head when he announced that he's running for election again that i think they're just after him for like things that just aren't there. and
1:20 pm
a lot of the district attorneys like elsewhere. i just, i just moved from chicago, same story where they're, they, they just seem to very corrupt. and i talk about no 2 tears of justice systems. and i kind of seeing every now where people are not treated equal equally under a law. so wanted to come here and i'm at this a bigger place to show my support for president trump and i had the head so we do expect a lot of attention focused on the court house to lay demonstrators. we've seen an anti trump demonstrators here in new york over the last week as well. i and a lot of police in security presence as this all plays out, hopefully safely and ours to come out here as kristen salumi lives in new york. when he thinks kristen trump is expected to surrender when he won't be arrested. he'll be processed as a defendant. that means fingerprints and hit
1:21 pm
a mug shot to taken the the charges will be read out in court. he'll be asked to plea and will then be free to go. once the next court date has been set, he won't have to post bail. legal analysts say that the case is at least a year away from actually going to trial. so he could be in court. during the 2024 presidential election campaign, u. s. law doesn't bar people from running for office if they're on trial. trump's also facing multiple other investigations by the justice department, district attorneys in manhattan in georgia. and in new york. john had run reports now from new york. the indictment of donald trump is historic, unprecedented in just the tip of a legal iceberg. the new york charges reportedly 30 of them are expected to be detailed on tuesday, focused on a $130000.00 hush money payment to a porn star. during the 2016 presidential campaign, we do know it's centered around a legal,
1:22 pm
very common confidentiality agreement that was signed years and years ago with stormy daniels and between her attorneys and michael cohen. but the new york case is likely not the most dangerous for the former president compared to the other investigations which included efforts to over throw or overturn the 2020 election. the new york case seems to be the least serious of them all in georgia. a grand jury has recommended indictments for multiple people over interference in georgia's 2020 election. it's not clear, trump is among them, but legal experts say this conversation between trump and georgia secretary of state amounts to a smoking gun. i just want to find 11780 loads, which is one more that we have the jury for women offered this murky but tantalizing tid bit. there are certainly names that you would recognize. yes,
1:23 pm
another legal threat, special council jack smiths prob, of trump's handling of classified documents. last summer, the f. b, i seized more than a 100 of them from trump's florida home after he refused requests to turn them over . smith is also investigating trump's actions during the january 6 2021 attack on the u. s. capital trump is dismissed. all the investigations is partisan, which runs, but until the new york indictment, the man known as teflon, dawn has faced real repercussions only at the ballot box. a northwestern university psychologist as trumps risk taking even a moral qualities, are key to his popularity. here is this beast out there doing it for me going out there fighting for me, saying what i feel deep down. and that's attractive. i mean like, you know, he may be, he may be a narcissist, he may be a sociopath, but he's mine are. so for my sociopath, whether that approach works in court might well be tested again. and again,
