which is about to begin it begins today, i want to walk you through some new developments that i'm getting from our producer . is that sirens have been activated in a town quite close to jerusalem. you know, you'll note that the israeli army is saying overnight 10 rockets were fired from the gaza strip. so perhaps that's connected. also a short time ago, there were a number of palestinians inside the ox, a compound praying, and there is now video circulating on social media showing that the israeli police forcibly removed them right now as i begin speaking, it begins visiting hours for non muslims from 7 am local to 11 30 am. this is routine, but of course, as we have seen from ramadan to ramadan, this becomes quite a potential sets the stage for

a lot of clashes. and that is what we saw over night. we know, according to the israeli police, that 350 people have been arrested. 7 were injured. paramedics from the red crescent said that there they were attacked and their ambulance damaged. the israeli police says this began overnight as they attempted to disperse. hundreds of people who had quote, barricaded themselves inside the oxen mosque. on tuesday, they were called circulating on social media for palestinians to come to them off to quote, defend it from the occupiers. the israeli police say that inside the mosque that people had taken sticks fireworks and stones, and that for several hours they try to peacefully coax people out. then the israeli police say they went in there are reports that they fired rubber bullets, stun gun grenades. and there is social media video of them beating people with

baton. this was not unexpected. given the fact that this is a peripheral issue that ramadan is coinciding with easter and a pass over pass over begins to day. and there is expected to be a larger number of jews visiting the compound. these jews are ultra nationalists, have very conservative views. they are not permitted to pray inside the compound that would be a red line crossed and they are never ever allowed to enter l ox, a mosque. but even so, their presence is often a considered a provocation. and we'll have to see what happens in the next several hours. tension has already been quite high. it not only here, but in the occupied territories. so far this year, 93 palestinians have been killed in the west bank in what is turning out to be a very deadly year. and this is after 2022 was the deadliest year in terms of palestinians killed in 15 years according to the un. okay. thank you so much for

the we can still hear the aircraft. they're strikes has not yet stopped. it seems that there is i response and every time in return and this also, this all comes actor. of course, really, inclusions happened in a locks and mosque and 11 rockets were launched from because it's just in the air, the hours of one stay. how much deputy sorry, how do we should the statement same or calling? what is happening in mosque israeli aggression against the blessed mosque and the sanctity of the muslims, and asked the people to respond to with all force in all tools to this he knew its crime and also said that the people and their resistance will respond with full force while is learning to had leaders, you know,

a court in manhattan. gone was the traditional swagger that is defined trumps persona. to day, the former president was uncharacteristically somber. as he became the 1st current or former president ever be charged with a crime. and this is what he's been charged with. the indictment being unsealed before trump in the court room. $34.00 felony counts, including falsifying business records, and other charges stemming from a $130000.00 hush money payment to a former adult film star. donald trump pleaded not guilty to all the charges. the case against trump laid out later by the manhattan district attorney alvin brag. 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

good people around the world should be as well. this is just the start of what likely will be a long legal battle. the next phase will be a trial. trump's lawyers argued to the judge that they don't want that trial to begin until the middle of next year, putting it right smack in the middle of a presidential campaign, one in which it's probable trump himself would be a top contender for the republican nomination. trump left court without comment after more than 2 hours inside. later in the evening when trump returned to his mar lago, a state in florida, he broke his silence. this fate case was brought only to interfere with the upcoming 2024 election. and it should be dropped immediately. trump showing his defiance against did you? dish will process. that is very much in motion. gabriel's hondo. i'll just eda new york shawn was

a former federal prosecutor explains how the new york state charges against from could become federal charges. the legal aspect of it might be more complicated because in order for this falsification to be elevated, to a more serious felony charge, they have to show that the falsification was intended to cover up some other crime . and the question is, which are the crime, the indictments, pretty minimalist. references election crimes which could be new york state. and they could be federal. but a lot of the controversy and speculation has been questioning whether a state prosecutor in the us could rest this on federal election law. and that might be an argument which a court would have to think about. but if it's based on the new york state election laws, that's pretty strong and no brainer is not going to be much room there. none of them are federal charges. these are all state new york state charges, and all 34 of them are based on the idea that they falsified business records. they

pretended that these hush money payments were for legal retainers or legal fees when they weren't the federal aspect might come in. if they're saying that these falsifications were intended to cover up a federal crime such as an illegal campaign contribution or violation of the campaign finance laws. but new york state itself also has campaign election laws and it remains to be seen if that's the crime that it will be paired with an under this particular law. they don't have to separately prove that, that crime happened. they merely to show that this crime happened with the intent to cover up that way. for is president dean of latte has survived an impeachment bed over handling of anti government protests. congress has rejected a motion to remove bull wattsey. he and ross broke out in december after the removal of her left, his predecessor petro castillo, dozens of demonstrate,
