the recalls urging palestinians to go to ox, a mosque to poach, defend it from the occupiers. there are visiting hours that are going to be ending shortly for non muslims. and it was expected that there would be a large number of jews entering the compound as part of passover. they are not permitted to pray. but this is a sensitive issue for palestinians, the people who typically enter our nationalists and have very conservative ideology . and in the past, despite a ban on praying inside, the compound people have been caught praying. after the ride on logs us, several of rockets were fired from garza into southern israel. israeli forces say somewhere intercepted. surely afterwards, israel carried out it strikes on multiple sites and garza, the army said it struck several military post thrown by her mouth human. also you has more from gaza. these railey air strikes,

linked to hush money payments ahead of the 2016 election back home in florida, he was defiant climbing. he was the victim of a politicized prosecution, designed to derail his presidential campaign from coal. the new york district attorney, a criminal, and said the judge and his family with trumpeters of jazz. here as gabriel elizondo reports, their images that will go down in u. s. history, donald trump, arriving at 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 to ever be charged with the 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 normalize serious criminal conduct. however, the indictment did not impress trump's legal team. he's frustrated, he's upset, but i'll tell you what he's motivated and it's not going to stop him and it's not gonna slow down. earlier outside the court house, the anticipation had billed to a fever pitch as both supporters and detractors of the former president gathered outside phony case. everybody knows that political persecution today is the beginning of a long series of potential passengers. and finally,

after hours of waiting trumps motorcade arrived right past our camera. donald trump's motorcade arriving here at the court house. he's in one of these vehicles a historic moment. it's a very scary times, a very fragile time for american democracy. and not only should americans be nervous, 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 from showing his defiance against a judicial process that is very much in motion. gabriel's hondo al jazeera, new york, republican sinister and former presidential candidate mitt romney has white in on the charges against trump. romney, a long time critic of trump said that although he believes the former president's character and conduct to mike him unfit for office, he also believes the prosecutor new york has stretched to reach felony challenges and climbs those charges. fit a political agenda. romney added that the charges sets a dangerous precedent for criminalizing political opponents and damage the public's faith in the united states. justice system, where thomas gift is the director of the center of us politics at university

college london. he says the case against trump has the potential to vindicate his claim of political persecution. i don't think the trump wanted this fight despite the political upsize in the short term. but if an indictment were going to come down, i think this is how trump would want it to play out. and that's because compared to other cases that donald trump is embroiled in georgia vote reading case. the special council inquiry and classified documents are proven to january 6th. these charges seem to be the weakest legally. that's what most experts say. so that doesn't mean that trump's demagoguery is right, that this is a political vendetta. but i do think that his claims resonate with some voter for raise something like $7000000.00. he's risen in the polls that's all helped him with this base. and so in the short term, it's good for him, but in the long term, i think it's really difficult to make that assessment. but i think you can make the argument that if there is a verdict in this case in the medium to the short term,

there's a guilty verdict. trump's going to have a hard time convincing a general electric swing voters on the fence voters that this is a political persecution. but if there's a not guilty verdict and it really does play into his hands, you know, trunk can spin. this has proved that he is the victim of an overzealous prosecution or a weaponized to a judicial system. so i think the short term long term distinction is important here. ukraine's president volota may zalinski is visiting neighboring poland to thank the nation for its support. since the russian invasion, he arrived by train at the border town of she michaud zalinski will meet ukrainian refugees after holding talks with president country student, many ukrainians have fled to poland since the war began. on day 2 of the meeting in brussels and nicer foreign ministers are discussing china's times with russia that concerned beijing is considering supplying to moscow secretary general gin stalsen

berg also once night are members to commit to spending at least 2 percent of national income on defense at the summit, light of this year will join holl isn't the key for us. and 1st of all, zalinski is in poland, an important ally to say, thank you. but what is he hoping to get out of this meeting? well, a president lensky is, as you say, there at the polish invitation, the invitation of the parish presidencies accompanied by his wife, alina. that's somewhat unusual. they don't always undertake these strips together. and so there is a sense that the couples are out there projecting an air of some confidence in this meeting with, of course, one of ukraine's closest allies certainly is geographically closest ally. poland has been hugely instrumental in coalescing the international effort on behalf of ukraine has done a lot itself as well, including taking in more than a 1000000 ukrainian refugees. but there is some other aspect to this,

although neither side is saying as much the opportunity to try and paper over what are still small, but cracks nonetheless, appearing in that alliance before they're not allowed to get any big notably to do with ukrainian grain imports into the european union cheap, ukrainian grain coming in tax terrace, free. that is of course, affecting the price of grain and upsetting domestic farming communities in a number of countries. polish farms threatened to try and disrupt this visit. that hasn't happened yet. but during the course of the morning, the polish agriculture minister did resign whilst lensky was in the country in protest at the european commissions decision to continue to allow terry free access ukrainian great into to that 2024. so as i say, an opportunity to do a little diplomatic push here to try and paper over cracks before they're allowed to interfere with the wider effort of european countries support the ukraine in the

war effort. meanwhile, western leaders meeting in brussels and more military aid has been pledged yes, that's right. in anticipation of what he's expected to be praying, spring counter offensive by ukraine, potentially in the east of the country, trying to dislodge russian positions around places like mood, heavily contested at the moment. of course offers of additional aid have come in the united states, making the headline pledge of $2600000000.00 bringing their total up to $35000000000.00 administrator ukraine so far and including things thought to be useful to the ukrainians in that f. a s surveillance radar systems, anti tank rockets, fuel trucks and so on. the spanish ship said that there are 6 leper to tanks will finally get underway. the date of this month delayed off to having to be refitted and the polls said as well that their pledges of mig fighter jets of it here and

make fighter jets have already been dispatched and are allegedly already in the country. okay, thank you very much. that is joan, how in key for us? well, french president menu, i'm a chrome says china's close ties with russia. mean it could play a major role in finding pace in ukraine. micron is on a 3 day state visit to beijing for the 1st time in 4 years. he will also be joined by e. u. commission president of lavonne de lan, the war and ukraine and trade are expected to be the main topics of discussion. well still here on al jazeera, with eyes on north korea, the you with japan and south korea, hold the largest joint naval drills and peruse presidents of islands and impeachment vote for failing to stop violence during anti government protest last year. i aah

arrested. donald trump has pleaded not guilty to charges of falsifying business records in the run up to the 2016 election. the former you, as president says the case is fake and an attempt to interfere in the 2024 election with a husband of scotlands, former 1st minister nicholas sturgeon has been arrested. pay to morrow was detained on wednesday as part of an investigation into the scottish national parties campaign financing. let's find out more on this from pull britain live for us in london can just visible tell us more about this investigation. yes, dramatic development this morning. i here in the u. k. it with pizza morale, who is the husband of former s and p leda, nicholas sturgeon, arrested by police in canada, in as part of the 18 month investigation into the states of the scottish national

party finances. now the allegations are specifically about around $748000.00, which was raised in a crowd funding campaign after 2017, and supposedly intended to be ring fenced for a 2nd attempt at an independence referendum. however, when the s n p then announced its official accounts for that for later that year, the money appeared to have been got to have gone on to be perhaps frittered away or spent on day to day running costs, which it wasn't actually intended for. and so there's a question mark about that money and then there's also a question mark about a loan, an interest free loan, the peter morale granted to the s m p of a $107000.00. that's around a, sorry, 107000 pounds. and a $134000.00 on which it appears was not accounted for correctly. we're talking about financial accountancy rules more than fraud at this point in time. and it

should have been accounted for in installments and it doesn't appear that it was accounted for in the proper way. now, police scotland of issued a statement. it's pretty bad. simply saying, a 58 year old man has been arrested as a suspect in connection with an ongoing investigation. he's in custody and being questioned. he hasn't been charged. he may well be released at this point without without charge. but they are investigating thoroughly, and they are searching a number of other addresses as well as the home address of these morale and nicholas sturgeon in glasgow. and the proceedings are now active. what, how has the is m p 's new leadership responded and what sort of impact could this have on the party? yeah, and it's, it's, it's a, it's a body blow, i think, to the, to the new leader has a use of him. he's ish issued a statement this morning. he said he only became aware of the arrest after it had happened. he wasn't tipped off by police. he said, as of already made clear. one of the things i was talking to are part he lawyers

about was the current live police investigation. i've never been in office berra in the party, i've not had a role in the party finances, so that's him distancing himself from what has gone on before. he became a leader. and he says there's an opportunity with the new leadership to make sure that we're being transparent, but certainly it will. and he, but he accepts the idea that it will hurt the s m p. and any upcoming polls or, or, or bi election, people will have questions. there will be some concerns. he confessed in, i guess this is the question that many people are asking. now, is there any connection between this development and nicholas surgeon's decision to step down as leader? yeah, i mean, the police are urging us not an urgent public, not to speculate, but that is the question i think on everybody's lips at the moment when nicholas sturgeon stepped down in february, she was at pains, need to make no reference to the parties. financial affairs and the ongoing investigation which was well known at that time she said she'd simply run out of

energy run out of steam and she wanted somebody else to take the helm. you question now whether this power a couple her and her husband living under the same roof, essentially hell named this party for close to 2 decades. she'd been lead of since 2014. he'd been the chief executive since the a 2000. how could they not have known the intimate affairs of the parties financial state? it's a legitimate question, it hasn't been answered, it can't be answered yet as an ongoing police investigation. but it's certainly something that people are asking, and it does put a dent. i think it's the same piece hopes for a new independence referendum because it seems that people are or less willing to, to support that. a most recent poll in february gave the a 12 percent lead to those who would say no to independence in scotland. ok. thank you very much. that is a pull brennan for us in london. who are you in? south korean, and japanese warships have wrapped up

a 2 day exercise in the east china sea. it was aimed at increasing readiness following massage launches by north korea. rob mcbride is in sol with more. this exercise was led by the us aircraft carrier limits and its escorts, which have been in the waters of the korean peninsula, conducting large scale exercises with the south korean counterparts. exercises that have also involved drills between air force jets and land forces and the largest scale drills to take place here in 6 years, much to the anger of north korea, which has responded characteristically with multiple missile launches. this trilateral exercise. now, with japanese war ships, we are told involved anti submarine drills and also search and rescue the intention being to increase the preparedness of the 3 navies in the face of increasing threats from north korea, but also sending a message further afield as

a counter to china and its growing influence in the region, much to the displeasure of paging itself to ship and are you sure we hope that all parties will move in the same direction, resolved a legitimate concerns in a rational manner, and maintain peace and stability on the peninsula. the united states actively pursues a policy of freedom of navigation, sailing through the contested waters of the south and east china seas. seas that china regards as its own backyard. and this exercise is ended with a joint statement from the us, japan and south korea saying that all 3 very much share a vision of an indo pacific, which is open and free. robert bride al jazeera sol for is president, has survived and impeachment, bit of a handling of anti government protests. a motion to remove juniper latte was rejected by congress. the unrest broke out in december after her left us
