1:00 am
powerful here, this road connects the communal set to be with an other area that is not far away. and we're told that it was being used by gang. some people that had been kidnapped . the former us president donald trump has an indicted of his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. the other ones are in jordan, this is down to 0. 9 from don't. most of the coming up from says the gun evacuating its citizens from following a miniature qu. they asked of the president nowhere to sleep. hundreds of asylum seekers lined the streets of new york outside of hotel converted into an overcrowded migrant. under rad double treat, the moon gazes, the 1st of 2 super mirrors this month appears in the sky.
1:01 am
the we begins with breaking news. former us president donald trump has been indicted for his attempts to overtime the results of the 2020 presidential election . this is the 3rd indictment to be handed down to trump this year, from the leading republican contend for next year's election says the charges prosecutorial misconduct and an attempt to interfere with next year's boat. but let's go live to washington dc and get the latest from the high digital castro. how does that donald trump put this thing online? he was expecting this indictment. it's now happened. how serious that now these charges pull, the former president took us through them. right. and we actually just have this indictment on sealed in the few minutes past, and they are 4 charges that donald trump is facing. they include conspiracy to defraud the united states. conspiracy chip, struct and official proceeding obstruction of an attempt to obstruct an official
1:02 am
proceeding. and conspiracy against rights all movies, of course are linked to trumps a legit behavior of trying to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. and this 45 page indictment is really startling and just how fiercely it condemns trumps behavior. i'll just read from a little bit from it. it says for more than 2 months following lecturing day, the defendant trump spread lies that there had been fraud in the election and that he had actually won. these claims were falls and the defendant knew they were false, but the defendant repeated and widely disseminated them, disseminated them any way that line really gets to the heart of the case. here were prosecutors and the grand jury had been investigating, trying to prove that trump or trying to find evidence that trump not only spread these election lies, which was widely obvious to all,
1:03 am
but that he knew they were lies. and the and diamond goes on to say that throughout trump presidency, he essentially groomed the american public in an attempt to build on the wide spread mistrust that trump was creating through pervasive industry destabilizing lies about election fraud. it goes on to name 6 co conspirator, not name rather seen. it goes on to mention 6 unnamed co conspirators, which from the description here sounds like it's re rudy. giuliani trumps private attorney who was really severe heading the campaign to overturn the election results. also, members, former members of the department of justice who were recruited to rights, legally dubious, legal memos in an attempt to try to convince the vice president to overturn the election results. then it goes on to talk about how the defendant from attempted to put pressure on states. these are the battle ground swing states that trump last,
1:04 am
including the state of georgia, michigan, pennsylvania, and others. and the very detailed campaign that trump and his allies tried to use on the state election. officials pressuring them to say that, that to say the lie that from had one of those states are not abided. and also the fake of left her scheme, which was an attempt to circumvent the electoral college which was meeting on january 6th to indeed deliver the wheel auction. went to joe biden. and of course, that was that fateful day when, because the vice president refused to go along with trump's efforts to steal the election. that the pro trump mob had gathered near the capital was told by trump to march on the capital and stop those proceedings from happening. this resulting in this attempt to obstruct an official proceeding charge. uh,
1:05 am
darren. i could go on and on because this also lists the pressure that trump, with a put on the department of justice. the pressure he put on like pens is vice president. and the quote prolific lies that the former president attempted to spread out all of this detail than this indictment. yeah, heidi was still waiting for jack smith, a special counsel to give a press conference that should come up later on in the program, but it's worth pointing out. the trump already faces charges brought by jack smith's team of alleged mishandling of classified documents. i mean, he's lead to problems continue to mount up, considerably done by as absolutely. and also he is expected. well, he has been summoned to appear in court in washington tomorrow where he will be arranged for these newest january 6 related indictments. but yeah, this just adds to the mountain of charges that the former president faces. and the
1:06 am
one you mention that jack smith, the indictments that jack smith secured previously, those are related to the hiding of classified documents at trump's private home in florida. and his refusal to comply with the f b i in hand, those documents over, he's also charged and 40 counts related to that case in florida. and of course, we also have the criminal charges he faces in the state of new york over hush money payments. he made during his 2016 campaign and also any day now were expecting potential state charges coming from the state of florida that look more in detail at the way that he tried to overturn the election results there. dear. alright, so how does it cost her life as the in the washington dc? heidi will come back to you when, when jack smith gives that press conference. let's go now to melanie sloane. she's a former federal prosecutor and joins us live from washington dc. meaning it always good to have you on the program. so just to cut through this indictment then it's
1:07 am
fairly robust from what heidi was saying, that from your legal expertise, how serious the charges against the former president. well, the charges are very serious. it's a $45.00 page indictment, but the accounts themselves are pretty short. what jack smith does is goes through at great detail and great length of all of the things that the president did after the election to try and say that the election was fraudulent. and he really makes the case that trump knew everything he was saying was felt false. at the number of times he was told by his advisors, by top officials in the government, by cyber security experts. everybody told him it wasn't true and he went forward and did it anyway. and that's really where jack smith spends the bulk of the 45 pages detailing the entire case. trump's behavior. and this is of course, very, very serious. this is the 1st time we've ever seen. a former president of the united states being indicted on charges related to trying to stay in office. it's
1:08 am
eats at the fundamentals of our democracy. we've always in the past had peaceful transitions of power. and here it is. trump tried to avoid that peaceful transition and now he's been indicted for it. me. how significant then is a timing of elizabeth jack smith was appointed a special council. i think just 3 days off the trump announced they've been running for the 2024 presidency as well. you know, the real question here is, when would this actually come to trial? we have mr. trump is facing so many criminal charges right now. and the other trial that jack smith has about the classified documents is tentatively scheduled for next may, but that date still could fall in here. we have president trump uh, from president trump campaigning. and that currently the front runner for the republican nomination. so he's going to be a and indicted multiple times and he's going to be facing a facing all of these court dates. and it's going to be a question of how is he going to do that, whether this case could actually come to trial before uh before the election,
1:09 am
i think is, is not clear. yeah, i'm on my hands and off for january 6, investigation to a special council. how much money does this then she'll divide the ministration from any claims of bias. some interference. well, of course it should of course have shield them from claims of bias and interference . uh, but that won't stop people, they're going to be many, many people try to supporters are inc. incredibly loyal and they will come up with reasons why this is untrue. why this is unfair. many of them still believe because of the former president. trump said that the election was in fact stolen, so they'll just view this as part of the conspiracy trumps victim. hood is part of why they loved him, and so people will, i assume, be very critical of the, by the ministration, despite the fact that president biden has very deliberately stayed out of this and has had no role whatsoever in this matter that just a final point you before you go, i mean, it's worth pointing out here that that's
1:10 am
a trump already faces. charges brought by jack smith's team of alleged mishandling of classified documents. he also faces trial in new york for falsifying business records in those hush hush money payments to an adult film. still his legal problems. i'm mounting up considerably all day. they really are, and we are soon going to see indictments in georgia too. so again, based on many of the same facts, but you can read in this indictment about his effort to force the secretary of state there to find more votes in georgia. and so georgia, too is planning to at all, all the indications are, is going to be indicted there as well. so this is there, so many lawsuits and, you know, one of the things trump does is he goes out and he'll be raising money on this. and he will, he's never paying his own legal fees and he gets his supporters to give him more and more money. and his legal fees are over $20000000.00. so far they are ever escalating. and i think you'll use this as more of the trump show to say, you know why he needs to be president united states college. i've met him. it's not
1:11 am
always good to have you on the program. i mean, thank you very much for sharing your legal insights. with us here on alger 0, let's just take you then to a that press conference. but jack smith will be giving that's not him the special council who has brought this indictment against for the president, donald trump. and so we're waiting on that press conference that happened when it does happen. of course, we will bring it to you here on the algebra. now let's get some of them use front sounds of the guns, evacuating european nationals from new jazz following the to the last week. the operation began after a tax on the french embassy and the capital of me. i'm a and the closure of new. she has boot is just days off. the president mom advising was deposed in a to victoria gave somebody has more on the evacuation efforts a as in apple in the capital, naomi, the 1st french citizens arrive ahead of their evacuation flights. how many jerry and say that pleased french people are leaving the country food. if one of them
1:12 am
does that, pretty care. as an african, i can say that all the problems that africans are experiencing in new jersey and africa. it's friends that's at the root of all suffering. so we've seen the example of money and book in a fossil down now. so we to a, going to follow in their footsteps click on friends has to do is to leave of whether diplomats and powers have been working around the clock to evacuate citizens from the year after. president mohammed by zoom was deposed last week. new jerry is one of the world's poorest countries and relies heavily on financial support from west and back is in the regional block equity. most of that aid has been frozen because of because the military rulers in neighboring molly and became a fast so have criticize the funding freeze, saying the poorest will be hit. hardest french troops ordered to leave monte recently refused deputy, curious as on. so is it a go, we refuse to apply these a legal, illegitimate and inhumane sanctions against the people of needs?
1:13 am
yeah, we've won that any military intervention against me. jeff will be considered as a declaration of war against became a fast. so and molly, the full, the, to new show was an important ally of the west and the fight against all groups linked to all kind to in this, the, how it will say one of the world's biggest produces of uranium which fuels nuclear power stations does. yeah. produce more than 2000 tons of high grade uranium last year. that's 5 percent of global outputs. francis heavy, we're lying to a nuclear energy, just supplies and estimated 15 percent of uranium for french nuclear power stations . the french government says that it has 2 years worth of uranium stokes, a. some on let's say, west and pals. the only interested in new jazz natural resources is very wars, and then i think all africa must be very watered. all right, this is bring you this a special a news conference that jack smith,
1:14 am
the special council is holding now on that indictment against drum, trump, left us listening to judge smith with conspiring to defraud the united states, conspiring to disenfranchise voters and conspiring in attempting to obstruct an official proceeding. indictment was issued by a grandeur of citizens here in the district of columbia. and it sets forth the crimes charged in detail. i encourage everyone to read it before the attack on our nation's capital. on january 6th, 2021. was an unprecedented assault. the seat of american democracy is described in the indictment was fueled by lies wise by the defended, targeted at obstructing a bedrock function of the us government and nations process of collecting, counting and certifying the results of the presidential election.
1:15 am
the men and women of law enforcement who defended the us capital on january 6th, our heroes, their patriots. and they are the very best of us. they did not just defend a building where the people sheltering unit. they put their lives in the line to defend her. we are as a country and as a people they defended the very institutions and principles that define united states. since the attack on our capital, the department of justice has remain committed to ensuring accountability for those criminally responsible for happen that day. this case has brought consistent with that commitment and our investigation of other individuals continues. in this case, my office will seek a speedy trial so that our evidence can be tested in court and judge by jury and citizens. in the meantime, i must emphasize that the indictment is only an allegation and the defendant must
1:16 am
be present innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. in a court of law. i would like to thank the members of the federal bureau of investigation who are working on this investigation with my office as well as the many career prosecutors in law enforcement agents from around the country who have worked on previous january 6 investigations. these women and men are public servants of the very highest order. it is a privilege to work alongside them. thank you. all right, sorry about your what you i liked this conference that jack smith, the special council that he spoke about said the indictment being brought said by the grand jury and he encouraged everyone to read it. he said transactions were an attack on democracy. he said the men and women who defended the nation's capital on january the 6th, where he arose. he said the investigation against other as yet unnamed individuals
1:17 am
will continue. police had been diamond and the very important point to the indictment at this point is an allegation. and it has to be proven in a court of law. let's bring in hydrogen castro who was live for us in washington dc . honda you are watching jack smith, the kind of a bit more about what he said. darren, he did say read this indictment for yourself. it's 45 pages and we are rapidly trying to analyze it. and it is extremely pointed. and it does list in detail the allegations that the federal government are alleging toward trump, and in particular, it is narrowing in on that criminal motive. because trump has all this time been saying that he is, he did nothing wrong because he claims that up to this day. he still believes that he won the previous 2020 election, which of course is bogus. and it was assumed that he may try to use that as
1:18 am
a defense because you have to know that you're doing something wrong in order to be held criminally liable. well, this document, this indictment list, not only the specific lies that he said on what dates he said them who heard them and the details of them. it also lists every one within trumps or bit who's jobs. it was to tell him the truth and the many times they met with him the time the place, the top is the topics discussed. meeting with intelligence community meeting with his vice president, the f b i. the list goes on. all of them with a consistent message that there was no fraud in the 2020 election. and despite that, trump continued to spread with this indictment calls. the prolific lies in his criminal behavior in trying to convince voters falsely that he had won the election
1:19 am
in the context of all of this there. and this is a case like no other. yes, trump is the 1st form or us president to be indicted and we've seen indictments come after him already. but this is the 1st time that a former us president has been accused of trying to stand in the way of the peaceful transition of power work from one administration to the next. and that is why you just heard jack smith talk about this in those lofty terms that many would argue are not dramatic size or not inflated. in this case, that trump was attacking democracy itself. and you see that case made out very plainly and this indictment. yeah. how the drug smith said the indictment is, of course an allegation that has to be proven, of course, in a court of law. so it was the time table now. and when couldn't we expect to see trump appear in court? well, we are hearing thursday is when he has been summoned to appear before the magistrate judge in d. c. on these and die on these 4 charges. from there,
1:20 am
it will be very unlikely that this case would go to trial prior to the next presidential election. that is the big measuring stick that people are asking. can this be resolved before americans are asked to weigh in on whether they want trump to return to the white house, presuming that he becomes the republican nominee, as is widely expected. and it is unlikely because the case in which trump has already been indicted on and arraigned on the classified documents case. will that court trial data has been set in may from may of next year, but many or even saying it's unlikely that that the trial would happen so soon, even that may be pushed past november election. so there's very little reason to believe that this much wider case could be squeezed in to even a smaller amount of time. how do you just a final quick point you before you go?
1:21 am
i mean, how is all of this been playing out with the trump bass? because despite his mounting legal, where is trump appears to be even more popular with his base? and it was that he leads the race of the republican nomination. that's right. he does. and he has gloated in the fact that with each indictment against him, it appears as poll numbers of all republicans does shoot up. he is leading among republicans by a wide margin of more than 40 points in some polls. but most notably, i was just reading a new york times holes that was out yesterday that sound a trumpet tie with joe biden in a general election match up. now, many maybe wondering why democrats are certainly worried about that. given that it is in the general election that many had been thinking these allegations, these trials against, from a heard him with those undecided voters who always ultimately decide the election
1:22 am
in the united states. but in this case, it appears that trump is pulling more uh, further ahead. then he did it, leading up to the last election that he lost, and he is in a statistical tie with joe biden. as of this point, of course is still early days, much could change, but the, the polls or something that bite and, and his campaign are certainly going to be worried about. all right, so how does your costs are life as the in washington dc? how deep, thank you. just bring some of these now hundreds of assign them. so you guys are formed along lines outside of new york hotel that's been converted into a sentence out of asylum seekers. the hotel is posted signs outside saying it's already at full capacity. but more people continue to get as new york struggled with its flow of migrants to the city. new york says it's provided services to some 90000 migrants in the past year and a half. okay, but it is on those in new york with the story to every migrant has their own personal story. many have come from venezuela or ecuador,
1:23 am
like many here outside this hotel or young man from africa and go send a goal, shad sudan, or some of the countries where many of these young men have come from. they all have their own stories, many have come through turkey and then flown to south america and then taking buses north and in some cases walk for many days, if not weeks to get to the southern border and united states. when they got there and crossed into the united states, mostly in texas, that's when the buses brought them here to new york city from republican governors in the southern states who simply don't want to migrants there and put them on the buses here to new york. and basically told new york, this is your problem. now, many of these migrants just want to work. that's all they want to work to support their families back home and try to make a living. that is all that they want. and what they're finding is, when they get here, after these long, long,
1:24 am
perilous journey to get here is that they just simply cannot get their work permits to be able to legally work in this country. or here in new york city. so many are just doing whatever they can to make 50 cents 75 cents, even a dollar, just to try to make it each day until they can try to get their work permit. but the new york city government is saying, basically there's no more beds we can't get you a work permit. and they're saying, tell all of your friends and others that are trying to get here. that it's, there's no work for them here and no bags. but obviously these matters have gone through a lot of trauma, many of them to get here. many of told me that they saw friends and even relatives die along the way to try to reach its reach here to the united states. for nigeria in star ways across the atlantic ocean perched on top of the ship's rudder, had been recounting the remarkable story of survival. they say they run out of food and drinking water after 10 days at sea. when that death defying voyage from africa
1:25 am
was finally over, they had no idea. they ended up in south america. i'm going to look on as much after weeks at sea, the desperate journey of 4 nigerian migrants to reach the shores of europe has come to an end. except this isn't europe. they somehow landed in the south eastern port city of victoria, in brazil all the way across the atlantic ocean from africa. so it again monday. how do you know when you have a signal understood this is rose you that was a forced into said this is brazil. i see a while. this is russell. i'm ready to browse you on how to use the form and say they took on the perilous voyage to escape economic hardship and political instability back home and night hearing. they stayed perched in the cramped space above the rudder of the container, ship dangerously close to the propeller, looping the fish in it around the rudder, and tying themselves to it,
1:26 am
provided stability. 30 tons of data, which should be in for me, in a full stream. how may have i tried this because i already made up my mind to leave . some of the powers dam is see she, you know, she was here. right groups a cases like this highlight how many migrants risk everything for the chance of a better life. before i came yeah, i was homeless for my family, my wife is pain in another place. i am staying my to to make up my mind and seems to have the migraines have returned to nigeria while the others have applied for asylum in brazil, for them their inter continental voyages over, but the pursuit to find a better life, continues and run a lot hon,
1:27 am
i'll just here of just 20 people have died and dozens of missing and beijing off a torrential rain coast flooding on land slides since friday tie from duck survey has news across china, causing widespread destruction. katrina, you reports from beijing. lots of aging are submerged. dr. storms both by typing book story, promote the chinese capital for 4 days. the average grateful for the month of july . so here in just 40 hours, triggering flash floods and lance slides is activation, orders are issued for more than 50000 people. clean up operations underway. the worst it areas of multiple and function, several vehicles were swept away as roots were turned into rivers. as they also have another the flood of a scary. how many cars will watch the way even people will wash it away. there's nothing you can do about a natural disaster with the minimum is on one day with them. not all i have never seen such heavy rain in my life. i mean, maybe just a few times,
1:28 am
but this time the rain, lots to for so long. stories have deployed military helicopters to deliver supplies to stranded train passengers. 3 trains were trapped on the roots and many roads were blocked. thousands of households have been left without running water. emergency teams have been dispatched to deliver food and other supplies. were the swell to dangerous levels, prompting use of a flood storage reservoir for the 1st time in 25 years. several subway lines have been suspended. it's rather a type thing to keep in mind, aging it only the 2nd time in recent history, that red leg was issued to the deluge holiday weeks of reckless high temperatures, x 3. whether that's scientists attribute to climate change type. we look sorry, swept through the southern provinces general the weekend, affecting more than 2000000 people, cause of damage with more than 2000000000 dollars. 18000 homes has been destroyed. china is now preparing for another type food cannot,
1:29 am
which is approaching the east coast. katrina, you all to 0, the 2 strong guys of the ground, the well, they've been wow. divide the appearance of a super move in the sky. not fit in the night sky. the 1st through the moon of the month, a spot in here and catch all kenya, indonesia, and south africa. it appears to be much larger and brighter than usual. this is because at the point in the luminous cycle where it's nearest to steve moran is a retired and strong man. north of astronomy for dummies, explains the significance of the superman's. the super moon is brighter and looks bigger. because at the time it occurs, the moon is that is closest point and it's orbit to yours. the orbit is not round, it's ellen gated. and and a 100, a 1000000 and a half miles. all the way around at the when it were at the moon is at the closest point to the years. it naturally a little bigger to us. and it looks about 14 percent bigger. then when
1:30 am
a full moon occurs at the opposite end of the orbit. when the moon is furthest from the earth, almost any place in the world, you'll see it if, if the clouds permit and other we're looking forward to see you to hear him after a buddy 50 tonight, when the moon rises. so you have it in the eastern hemisphere before we do. it's called the blue moon because this is a fairly rare occurrence when there are 2 full moons in the same month, august 1st and i believe august 28th and this case. so there was a saying that something was as rare as a blue moon, and that's where this name comes through. the type of picture of the headlines here on out of here a former us president donald trump has just been indicted again.
