island but still heavy falls of rain for east java province. bali and lubbock islands got rain through the korean peninsula in southern china as while this, these bands of rain is dumped about a 100 millimeters of rain. we can expect much of the same for the korean peninsula, so that will certainly help with wildfires burning across the country there. as it shuffles into japan over the next little bit better update season. ah, a with

ah ah, i don't are into this is the out, is there a news out live from london coming up? the 1st sitting or former us president to face criminal charges? donald trump pleads not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records. these are felony crimes in new york state, no matter who you are. we cannot finland's flag is hoisted outside nato headquarters as it officially becomes the 31st member of the trans atlantic military alliance and livelihoods up in smoke. one of docket, largest clothing markets is engulfed by flames. i don p systemic dough with

your sports news. the premium eggs, blockbuster fixture of the light ins in a dull drawer, i'd asked him, vento up to 7 pm, leaves are out of the relegation. so goals coming up later this week. ah, donald trump has pleaded not guilty to $34.00 criminal charges and a manhattan courtroom. the 1st fitting or former us president to do so. the charges relate to claims, he falsified business records in 3 hush. money payments made to 3 people including an adult film star. during trumps 2016 presidential campaign, prosecutors say the payments are part of a catch and kills came to suppress negative information about trump and were part of a conspiracy to undermine the integrity of the 2016 election. in the last hour, the manhattan district attorney alvin brag outlined the charges against trumps.

under new york state law, it is a felony to falsify business records with intensive fraud and intent to conceal another crime. that is exactly what this case is about. 34 false statements made to cover up other crimes. these are felony crimes in new york state. no matter who you are. we cannot and will not normalize serious criminal conduct, which is what donald trump's lawyer, joe tuck athena, had to say to reporters after the court hearing really right, i'm ready to fight. and what does that mean like important or? i don't want to put a man from a political standpoint that's not for me to answer. i don't know apparently according to the polls, but i'd stop using. 6 to absolutely not. hey, really on those outside the courthouse in new york gave it's been an extraordinary

day. given the flavor of how it's gone and where we are now. well, it has been an extraordinary day. donald trump spent by my count a little over 2 hours inside this court house complex that you see behind me there . everything went for the most part as planned, as sort of expected he surrendered. he went through the process of fingerprints and what's called a walk through process, and then iconic images that will probably go in the u. s. history books, or decades, or even perhaps centuries to come of donald trump being walked to a court room where he heard the $34.00 felony charges against him as he sat in the court room with his lawyers on each side of him. him, he pleaded not guilty to all of the charges. now he has worked, he's on his way back tomorrow. lago in florida where we expect to hear from him

later this evening. and next step of course, will be a potential trial next year on these $34.00 charges here in new york. now we've been talking a lot about the judicial process that's been going on here today. and now i want to bring in a guest. it's going to tell us a little bit more about step one in this is diana lawrence. you're a former district attorney candidate here in manhattan, and they spend 20 years 2525 years. as a state prosecutor, you know this court system better than anyone. what is your reaction to how it went today? actually, you know, if you take away the motorcade in the secret service, it was like any other white collar cake. pretty standard. other than the, for lack of a better term, just everything else surrounding it, right? usually don't have thousands of people outside and that's not usually. so what you saw, the process to donald trump went through pretty standard. nothing jumped out at you

is being different or unusual? no, not at all. what do you think about the $34.00 chargers? what's your reaction to them? and again, pretty standard i, i believe da bragg said in his remarks that it was a regular tool of a white color prosecutor, and that's, that's true. falsifying business records is a standard charge, i think in every single one of the cases i ever brought, that was at least one charge. what's interesting here though is that there seems to be multiple theories underlying those falsifying business charges that elevated to a felony. one seems to be a violation of election law and another seems to be violations of state taxes. how much trouble is donald trump in right now when it comes to these charges? well these are e felonies and that's the lowest level felony the so it's the most serious types of

crimes in new york or felonies. misdemeanors are less, but don't you go from a to eat. so these are a series of $34.00 felonies. that means you can go to state prison up to 4 years, but you can also get no prison at all. so certainly it's never good to be charged with the felony. so he's in a bit of trouble, but obviously not as much as perhaps if he were charged with be felonies. sure. so felonies very serious, much more serious and misdemeanors but low level felonies, but still felonies nonetheless. correct? sure. it appears to so it's going to go to trial. any reason to think that it wouldn't? no, it doesn't seem so it's gonna be, it seems like it's going to go to trial. what will be the challenges for the prosecution and the district attorney's office to try to convince the jury to convict? well, as you said, there is, there's a long way between now and trial, and there is going to in the interim time periods, they'll be other court appearances. his lawyers, once they've had a chance to examine the every which is basically just the evidence, whether it was

a transcript of testimony or bank records, or records of the company. once davis scrutinized that they're gonna write motions attacking the underlying foundation of the case and urging the judge to dismiss it . it's just the defense you're talking about. harassed and the prosecutors will then of course, point to all the evidence and why they've created enough of a record to support bringing this case to trial. so the next step in this case, after the defense, his examined the evidence that's been turned over by the prosecutors is for the defense to challenge the evidence in papers and the prosecutors to respond to that . and then the judge to make a decision whether or not it's enough to go to trial or say no, it's not enough and you could get dismissed before it ever reaches a jury selection. sure. but you are, you believe right now the chance is this going to trial? are pretty high or not? i mean, i would be surprised, given the high profile nature of this, that, that the case would be dismissed on lack of the evidence for

a grand jury. and it's much lower, it's not the highest standard beyond a reasonable doubt, it just probable cause or reasonable cause. so my expectation is yes that, that, you know, after the judge examines the evidence, that there will be enough to go to trial. but once you go to trial, the burden is much higher and, and mr. trump and his team, they can say nothing. they can do nothing. the burden is everything is on the prosecution to prove their case, correct beyond a reasonable doubt. and do you think the prosecution based on the 34 couch, do you think they have a strong case or not? it's hard to say. the indictment itself is not what we call the speaking indictment, meaning that it doesn't lay out the tails of the charges. now they did file what's called a statement of facts, which is just what it sounds like. it's just the, it's just a description of what the evidence is, but it doesn't tell you how they got that evidence which witnesses will say, what? so i certainly could tell you sitting here right now, whether it's

a strong case or weak case, but i do know that they have multiple theories underlying these false filings. and that's not unusual, but that could prove to be tricky. sure. thank you very much. one thing is for sure we have many unusual months coming up ahead of us here. moving forward is, is potentially goes to trial and a lot of things uncertainty. thank you. appreciate your time. so you are able to hear a little bit there of former state prosecutor who quoted laid out an analysis there of the challenges moving forward for the prosecution. the potential defense that trump lawyers will throw up the coming months as this continues. the judicial process continues to move forward and gave be no gag order put in place. we know that we, we can hear from people involved in the corporate. so we expect to hear from present triple president trump himself, what we went once he gets back to morocco. i was going to be yeah,

he's going to speak. we expected little under 4 hours from now. it's about 3 hours or so from now. he is expected to speak. president trump is certainly a former president. trump, i should say, i'm sorry. certainly does not back down from any microphones that are usually put up for him to speak to. so he is going to speak from our lago. the judge has put out saying that there's no gag order. she's free to. he would not be in any sort of violation of the court if he does speak. and so we will be hearing from will be very interesting to see what trump has to say. because it will be the 1st time we hear from him after he has been arranged. thank you very much. indeed. kevin is under that. when i bring in john henry who's live in lower manhattan, and john terms for people who mean thank you and reaction to this momentous de a whether it's people who dissipated it,

3 hours in 5 minutes ago. this was filled with hundreds of people. hundreds of pro from supported hundreds of angie trumps or borders and there was a line of police to separate them because they were yelling at each other. there's police just left. and the reason for that is there is nobody to separate any more. as you can see now, this is really just a scene, new media reporting what happened earlier, but we did get a chance to talk to some of the people who were out here, both pro and con. and this is an example of what they had to say. it's about time because no one above the law. i'm in a break, the law i'm. if i break the law, i may, i go to jail it being like me. so the break the law, you need to be held accountable for it. i think it's absolutely it would take those because if they could do this to him, they could do it to anybody for such as stupid. why might come on pay off our process for now listed a bad that we don't even know what not there is so many other crimes that can be

taken care of and even crimes that the politicians have committed those. yeah, they're definitely trying to stop, you know, being president and you know, messing with the election in 2024. so the roads are now clear. you can see people are coming through the people you see walking by as they're mostly now commuters. but a 1030 this morning that was it was, that was about 7 hours ago, margery taylor green. the congresswoman from florida was in a park back there, gathered with a crowd of supporting president former president trump. and you had people out here arguing about it, and that really represents the divide in america. this case is very much an example of how divided america is these jays, if you didn't like trump before this right now, you probably don't like him much more. and if you act him beforehand, well, for many people, this is just an example of liberal politicians using the address to system to go

after him. that might change once the facts of this case come out. once people hear about the details and today they've heard them where they haven't heard the very specifics about them. good doorman who claimed that trumpet had a baby out of wedlock who was apparently paid off for we're not sure of that story was legitimate or not. and then you've got the 2 women who are paid off after being after it was suggested that they had sexual affairs with trumps, or the nation remains is divided as it ever has. and i suppose the best hope is that the facts of this case will cause people maybe to change their minds. and this is, of course, just the 1st of many legal cases against trump. you've got a special counsel in washington looking into his handling of classified documents. that special council is also looking into trumps actions on january 6th, 2021. when there was an insurrection, i'm capitol hill. and then there is

a fulton county grand jury that is now looking into record where has recommended in fact chargers against trump for trying to skew the vote in georgia. so there are a number of cases that could well still come up in a number of reasons. for people in america to remain divided 100, thank you very much. what is the reminder the case against the former president? the manhattan district attorney alvin bragg says trump is charged with $34.00 counts of falsifying business records in the 1st degree in order to conceal damaging information and unlawful activity before and after the 2016 election. i'm sealed. indictment accuses trump of directing 3 different instances of hush money payments to cover up alleged affairs statement from the district attorney's office said from august 2015 to december. 2017. trump orchestrated to his catch and kill scheme through a series of payments that he then concealed 3 months of false business entries. in

one instance, the da alleges $30000.00 was paid to a former trump tower, dorman, who claimed to have a story about a child trump had out of wedlock. in a 2nd instance, a $150000.00 was paid to a woman who alleged she had a sexual relationship with trump. and in a 3rd instance, 12 days before the presidential general election, $130000.00 was want to an attorney for an adult film actress and baron as a full may yes, federal prosecutor. he joined his life in washington. d. c. thanks so much indeed for being with us. from what you've seen so far. how strong would you say the prosecution case is against trump? i think it's a very winnable case. i think that it doesn't turn on the credibility of a mr. cohen at which i originally, when i 1st got involved in following this case, i thought that the case would turn on his credibility, which is problematic. but they've, there's a lot more to this case. they're more witnesses, they're more documents. i think it's a very winnable case. so what,

what do you think has emerged that's new that has meant that this particular da took it on. he because he was asked about that and what was your impression that that, that made it stronger for him because in the past 2 days of decided not to go ahead with the case. that's a bit of a mystery. i don't know why it earlier on the, when they prosecuted mr. cohen, they didn't pick up the ball and keep going on. but when i look at what the da's office has done in new york, it's very impressive. they did, i was skeptical. i have to admit when they fired the prior, the investigators, i thought, well, this case is going down the drain. but know they've come back with a very sh, either very strong, an indictment. and i think mr. trump is in a lot of trouble. so just how much trouble do you think he could easily be convicted on a numerous counts? there are 34 to work with. it doesn't mean he's gone again in

a jail time for each count cumulative. but he could easily end up with thought with the jail sense. and in terms of his how he responds to this. i mean, we heard from his lawyer earlier that he was ready to fight this in court. what do you think the strategy will be from their trump defense? well, to discredit the veracity of mr. cohen, that's going to be a big center piece of their, their defense. but, you know cohen, it has no motive to lie at this point. if he had a possible prosecution hanging over him and then he was going to testify, you could argue, well, he's testifying because he's afraid of the prosecution. it's still up in the air. however, that's now history that's behind him. so he has no motive particularly to lie to save himself. that's all done. and i think there's more corroborative evidence than i realized before. i read the indictment and the memorandum that goes with it. i

think mr. trump is in a lot of trouble. we've heard that, that, that, that, that the prosecutors wanted a trial date of january 2024, and then the champ local, that timeline, a little aggressive, and suggested spring at 2024. how quickly do you think this could all happen? well speaking as a former defense counsel, they want to try the case on the 12th day of never, i can't push it or far enough for them. i think that they will try do everything they can to stall this case to slow it down. and i want to point something out. there are 2 more cases in the wings. the one down in georgia involving the telephone call about finding the 11000 and some odd votes for him that is recorded . and then there is, of course, the very large federal investigation. ah, that is well underway. i think the, the timing on this, i think what's gonna happen is you're gonna have 3 prosecutions of mr. trump going

on simultaneously. so that's quite a, quite a picture. you paid if the case, if this particular case though coming back to this one does go to trial, is it likely that we would potentially have for president trump as a witness and would, would, would people recommend that he's take the stand or do you think that the his lawyer would say, don't, well, i'm sure his lawyers would say don't. he certainly has a right not to take the stand. and the jury would be instructed that they are not to draw an adverse inference from his failure to testify. however, it's going to be tough to keep a guy like trump off the stand. he may overrule his lawyers and say, i can go in there and you know, do my song and dance and they will bleed me and let me off. that would be something akin to suicide. ah, it, the, the only advice that would be good in this situation is you don't get on the stand, whether trump will listen to word or not. is another question. and byron,

very good to talk to you. and i think 12 to have never is now my new favorite phrase. i think while and yet, yes, everybody can. congresswoman mondrey taylor green rallied, trump supporters in front of the court house. i got paid on a rock president. c balance, we have the department of justice. we cannot tolerate of america. no, i don't know him is the vice president at the institute for constitutional

government director the me center for legal and judicial studies and a senior deal fellow at the heritage foundation you joins us live from washington, d. c by skype. just want to get your take on how you see things going forward. now that we've got a bit more detail about what's in, in the prosecution's case. well in contrast to your last speaker, i don't see this is being a particularly strong case, although it's a serious case and these are felony charges and this case goes to trial and must get transferred to upstate new york. you will be tried in new york city, which is not exactly friendly territory to donald trump, but a lot of this case it's all going to all $34.00. these counts are related to you know, the stormy daniels payments. so it's all rises and falls on whether or not the former president, you know, made these entries with any kind of an intent to defraud and whether it was related or trying to conceal a federal campaign finance violation. it's

a very unusual charge for this century on a new york company's records, normally a misdemeanor, you know, it becomes a felony when it's designed to conceal another crime. here the other crime is a federal finance violation alvin brag. setting a press conference where we have kind of cut finance laws in new york to that is certainly true. but this was for a federal election, not for a new york city or new york state election. and i think the allegation that this was for the purpose of making an illegal or an excessive campaign find that finance violation is eminently a tackle that doesn't mean to interrupt you. i just wanted you said it was all kind of linked to stormy daniels. but what seems to is that there are 2 other instances, the da da g, $30000.00 paid to a former trump tower, dorman, who came to have a story about a child trump pat out wedlock. and then a 2nd instance of a $150000.00 to a woman who that she had a sexual relationship with trump said,

do you think that the fact that there are these other instances will give an impression that there was a pattern there? well, so it's a very great question, and the answer is the charges. the specific charges all relate invoices and payment made invoices from and payment to me to michael cohen. the payments that michael cohen made was the $130000.00 payment to storm. again, the other allegations about a trunk confidant, david packer, through his company paying $150000.00 to former playboy playmate, carmen google. the $30000.00 mister packers company paid to the doorman who had this story about com father and the legitimate child. all of that is designed to show that there was a pattern and practice to what was motivating donald trump in terms of making these alleged false entries. but technically the charges all relate to the $130000.00

payment. that was michael call i made by michael cohen. and that was only for stormy daniel. so the others are part of this case, but not directly related to the 34 charges that have now been filed against the form. and you were saying that you disagree with the previous previous legal expert in terms of how it might go. so if you had to kind of say what you think that he might end up with, with a prison sentence, how would, how would you? well, it gets sentence, i mean, if he is convicted, i think that a lot of this case is going to hinge on the credibility of michael cohen. michael cohen has pled guilty to a whole slew of federal crimes including perjury for having provided false testimony to congress. and donald trump is going to have defense. if he's going, he may be able to sit there and say, look, you know, i'm a billionaire billionaires get sued by, you know, women who are trying to get extraordinary payments by alleging all kinds of things

. and i, these were nuisance settlements to me. or i made these payments in order to avoid a disclosure that would be embarrassing to me and embarrassing to my family. and i would have made these payments at which he made, by the way, out of his personal funds for the most part, whether i was runny for off this or not. the other thing he say is what donald michael cohen was my wire. he did legal services for me, it wasn't until long after i made these payments. and these entries were made that i found out that the payments were not, in fact the legal services that they were for the you know, to reimburse him for a payment to stormy daniels. but there were those entries were not false entries by me because i believed them to be true at the time that i made them. so he has a lot of defect this year. again, he does face some peril. these are serious charges. but in terms of the other investigations that are ongoing against him by the district attorney in fulton, county, georgia, and by the special council jack smith it by you for the department of justice.

those are far more serious charges and the ones that have been released today. alan bar, and thank you very much indeed for joining us. thank you. coming up on out there, the, he's out. the un tells his afghanistan to stay home after the taliban bands women from working for the world. but a whole in wanted to augusta for this play had to the 1st major of the golfing season. and ref, elena dal is in a race against time to be fit. the french open beetle will have the details, insult. ah, you're here, we're here. so let's go with your weather update for europe and africa. nice to see you and we've got a weather maker dumping quite a bit of snow over the balkan, so from sarajevo to scope to sophia ball,

oh, i am under the top story here. donald trump is faded, not guilty to $34.00 criminal charges in manhattan courtroom. the 1st sitting or former us president to do so. the charges relate to claims, he falsified business records in 3 hush. money payments made to 3 people, including an adult film star. during his 2016 presidential campaign, a manhattan district attorney ivan brag, outlined the charges against trump said,

bringing gabriel is under his outside to the court house in new york to get some us some up. first. what's been an extraordinary day ready for for manhattan and, and for the states it really has an ordinary day for the country. quite frankly. i mean, you pick your word, whatever it is extraordinary. historic, unprecedented, in this case, what we've seen here today, outside this court in new york city, all of those words, more than qualified. it truly was one of those historic days that will really go down in the history books here in the united states. when donald trump surrendered to authorities in this court house, they used to be behind me. his motorcade passed right by here behind me as he went in and also accident. everything went sort of according to plan, at least from the judicial standpoint. during his what's called

a walk through process where he surrendered at the da's office, the district attorney's office then was walk down a hallway and these iconic photos. now historic photos of donald trump sitting in the court room at a table with his lawyers on both sides of him. as the judge was reading to him, the 34 felony counts against him. there was no video allowed in the court room. only these still photographs to really capture that moment. trump pleading not guilty to all 34 counts. he then was allowed to leave the court. he did so gotten his motorcade without making any comment or without approaching any of his supporters, hundreds of which were outside of the court house. it is simply got into his motorcade under heavy security and was wished away to an airport where he's now on his way or soon to land in florida,

where he's expected to give an address. later this evening, alvin bragg, the district attorney, also had brief comments. where he answered some journalist questions and his words saying that this case is about trump lying and intentionally lying to hide crimes. thank you very much indeed that everybody is under there live 1st in new york. until the news now and finland has formerly joining nato in ceremony at its headquarters in brussels, comes less than a year after helsinki asked to join the military lines following russia's invasion of ukraine. moscow is warned of counter measures to address what it says as security threats created by finance membership. hi faucet report. this was one thing. vladimir putin said he was fighting to reverse when he ordered the invasion of ukraine last year. the expansion towards russia of nato. fill out her said today

become the 31st a member of nato. the era of a military non alignment in our history has gone to an end. a new era. big is finland is safer, and nato is stronger with finland as an alloy. we stand together, we protect and defend each other all for wrong, and one for all. a year ago, finland and sweden join nato exercises in norway, rushes invasion of ukraine fronting both to seek the guaranteed protection of nato membership. until now nato's eastern border with russia included poland. this hu, ania, latvia, estonia and norway. in total, a frontier running more than 1200 kilometers, finland joining nato more than doubles russia's land border with the alliance. nato says no non finish troops will be stationed in finland without helsing,

his permission. but russia has already vowed to increase its military presence near the border. the kremlin promising countermeasures to what it calls a threat to its security and national interests. crushes defense minister said it added to a patent of nato activity near russian territory since the crane invasion. the rest of course, always creates risks of a significant escalation of the conflict. but it will not affect the outcome of the special military operation during the war and ukraine. also under discussion at nato on tuesday. with talks on increasing member countries, contributions and long term integration between nato and ukrainian forces. still short of the full membership ukraine is seeking, there is no better solution to ensuring you reply to security as a whole. then membership of your brain, eventual membership. once you create this still new agreement within nato, on a timeline to something that would be seen in moscow as the ultimate provocation, the, the major sector general is promising swift progress on sweden's membership by

getting to kia to overcome its objections and allowing the swedish flag to become the 32nd, to fly here, harry force it al jazeera. those are jabari has that reaction to this from moscow. the russian officials who have spoken on tuesday after this announcements they have made it very clear that this is not a positive news for the russian state as a whole. the spokesperson for the criminal pest golf said that this move threatened russia, security and national interest. we also heard from the russian foreign minister service lab, rob said that the security of northern europe is not going to be strengthened or rather weakened by the and that russia will respond officially, in due time, in a calm manner. that is the political discussion in the political reaction that we've had in terms of actual tangible ones that we've seen is from the russian

defense ministry. they have taken counter measures to try and bolster their defenses. we heard from the defense minister survey chicago, who said that at this move really increases the pensions and the conflict that has been ongoing in ukraine. and also he announced that the russians have delivered the scanned or missile system to neighboring villa roof. this is a missile system capable of launching nuclear warheads, so there seems to be definitely an increase in tensions. and this, they just moved by nato will only exasperate the situation. the u. n. of told, all staff in their afghanistan office is not to come to work for 48 hours. huge a security concerns. the body is seeking additional information from local taliban authorities, about a ban on afghan women working for them. as of the members of their female staff, nga were prevented from carrying out their duties. afghan women have already been

banned from secondary and higher education, as well as engineers and most public sector jobs. aid workers say this is made it difficult to reach female and officially. james bass has more from the united nations in you. this is something that the united nations had greatly feared already. most women in afghanistan are banned from work, including those who are supposed to work for humanitarian organizations. now it seems that ban has been extended to the united nations and its agencies, the spokesperson for the un secretary general says if this is not reversed, it will have a devastating impact on their work. for the secretary journal. any such band would be unacceptable. and frankly, inconceivable. this is the latest in a disturbing trend undermining the ability of aid organizations to reach those most in need. it goes without saying, but unfortunately it does need saying that female staff members are essential for the united nations to deliver life saving assistance. such orders as we saw. oh,

to day, donnelly violate the fundamental rights of women and infringe upon the principles of non discrimination. if the taliban do not reverse their ban on women operating the country camp, the un continue to operate. what is clear is that we cannot do it without women, right? the women are the, the backbone of our humanitarian of our humanitarian opera operations. the secretary general is urging the security council to meet to discuss this issue. i understand that senior un officials planned to meet with officials from the taliban in the coming hours. it's not clear who will represent the united nations at that meeting because the top you an official enough kind of stone is a woman special representative rosa autumn by eva is the former president of kingston. james bay's ouch is era at the united nations. a massive
