2:00 am
the level of destruction here. proof just how fast the fighting has been. in recent weeks, this russian or adults monastery has been a place of pilgrimage for centuries. the former us president donald trump is criminally charged for trying to overturn the results of a 2020 presidential election from cold indictments election. its appearance as he campaigns to attend to the white house. the other ones are in jordan, this sound is here a life. and so also coming up from so evacuate said citizens from the chair was under, grows against the former colonial file. after a ministry cooper on ground control to major com. we'll have the latest on the loss of communication with nonsense pointed to
2:01 am
the result with breaking news and former us president donald trump has been indicted for his attempts to overtime. the results of the 2020 presidential election or trump, faces for accounts, including conspiracy to defraud the united states and obstructing official proceedings today, and then died and then within sealed charging donald j. trump, with conspiring to defraud the united states, conspiring to disenfranchise voters, and conspiring, and 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 in full as well in a statement from who is the leading republican candidates and next year's
2:02 am
presidential vote said the charges are election interference. he went on to say the lawlessness of these persecutions is reminiscent of nazi germany in the 1950s. the former soviet union and other oath or a terrier tutorial. regimes with trump is also have been charging to other cases this year, and they relate to hush money. the payments made to an adult film store and for his any good retention of classified documents and his monologue o estate. let's get more now with hydro castro, she's live for us in washington dc. how do you so tell us a bit more about the indictment there. and we know that trump has been summoned to up here at this court house behind me in washington on thursday in regard to this indictment. and it is those 4 charges that you just heard, jack smith, detail conspiracy to defraud the us conspiracy to obstruct and obstruction of an official proceeding and the conspiracy to distance franchise american voters. and it is this last one that among all of these remarkable charges,
2:03 am
perhaps strikes that the sharpest port because whose rights were obstructed in this case were defrauded at 81000000 people who had voted for joe by the end of the 2020 election, which delivered him the when both in the popular vote and the electoral college to become the us president at which trump denied which he spread the prolific wise and the worth of this indictment that he had won the election. so this is notable, it is the 1st time that a former us president is charged with essentially standing in the way of a peaceful transition of power between, between administrations. now, this indictment is $45.00 pages long and it does lay out in detail. what prosecutors hope establishes trumps criminal motives. why is that? it's so important. it's because trims defense this entire time and he continues to spread the is election false with saying that he earnestly believes even to this
2:04 am
day that he won the election. of course, we know that is false, and this indictment lays out the many times the specific dates times places where trusted advisors in the intelligence community, the f. b i. the vice president told president trump at the time, which proves that he had indeed lost the election, that there was no fraud and get his choice to disregard that information and to deliberately spread lies. otherwise, there's also the detailed actions that prosecutors say trump took in trying to pressure state officials, the department of justice, his vice president, all to us to act on his lies that the election had been stolen, trying to get them to stop the process of the electoral college certification and falsely assert that trump had been the winner. and so all of that sums up this really breathtaking environment that we just had them sealed. and heidi just briefly put this in the context then with other cases,
2:05 am
the trump faces. yeah, well he's facing 40 pounds on the classified documents case, which is also coming from the same special prosecutor's office, but really many are looking at this and saying this case involving the attempt to overturn the election results as the big one. because again, historically speaking, this is outright at the heart of american democracy, the peaceful transition of power. and jack smith went on to say that this was an attack on democracy that the former president perpetuate it. now there are also 6 co conspirators that are unnamed in this a di, indictment. it's unclear whether they will be charged anytime soon. and it is also notable that the department of justice treated this case very differently from the one m r lago from the other classified documents case. the mediately and sealed this indictment, and a source of the d o,
2:06 am
j told l to 0. this was because they learned that if there was a gap of time, like what previously happened with omar logo case, trump put otherwise try to seek to fill that void with his messaging. we saw him attempt to do that leading up to this moment when the diamond was on sale, already saying that this was going to be false, that the department of justice is corrupt. and we saw the continuation of those remarks through his campaign. comparing these actions to the persecution of nazi germany. and the thing is, the big question is, who will american voters believe which version of the story the one laid out in this court document or the one that trump has been has been spreading. and that has, that has been in a sense conditioning his supporters to believe throughout the months leading up to this moment and the poles there. and if you look at them, they're telling they're assuming that trump becomes the republican nominee for president and goes up against joe biden. well, the 2 of them are tied currently in the latest pull by the new york times,
2:07 am
which is something that perhaps is surprising, but maybe not given how we've seen trump always bounce, bounce up from what otherwise could be. that would be information that could destroy other politicians. he seems to only garner more support from his face because of them. all right, so how does your counselor live for us here in washington dc? holidays. thank you. the, the no, from just the gun evacuating european nationals from new jazz following last week's crew. the operation began after a tax on the french embassy in the capital in the am a and the closure of industry. as buddha is off, the president mohammed bedroom was deposed. but your addiction to report at an airport in the capital, naomi, the 1st french citizens arrive ahead of their evacuation flights. how many new gerry and say that pleased french people are leaving the country food. if one of
2:08 am
them is a pretty care as an african, i can say that all the problems that africans are experiencing in new jersey and in africa. it's friends. that's at the root of us offering that off. we've seen the example of money and book in a fossil kind of. 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 buzz who was deposed last week. the jazz one of the world's poorest countries and relies heavily on financial support from west and back is in the regional blog echo us 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 poor us will be hit hardest french troops ordered to leave monte recently refuse 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 you. we will on
2:09 am
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 on 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 jeopardy use 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. somebody let's say west and pals. the only interested in new jazz natural resources is very wars, and i think all africans must be very watered or concerned that france is making the civil has made it so the form of colonial power it can make. i and i forget and
2:10 am
choose is to protect its interest. even the that means removing africa limits to lock this street. i like dig it up as the leaders of the crew have announced the suspension of uranium exposure to friends and all the european countries. and over wanting the west on deck last not to order a minute, treat intervention. victoria gates and b i which is there. but any of my colleagues need bach i spoke to initially as i'm bass of that to the united states. mama, duke ya really mounting theory, he says the community does must and show the deposed president for safe of those love. but a bit today to the school at them. i have that as well. so they need to have it as well as a beat for his safety. and by the way, for the safety of all new gerry and because they have discovered the democratic room of our country talking specifically about safety and security in the country. then of course, echo was to allies and echo asked of threatened military intervention in is if the
2:11 am
coo latest refused to hon. bye power, given that not potentially means of violence show down. do you agree that that is the best course of action outcome to be the put variable on the the fund for for the, for the sounds of it's probably expenditure on x. the funding opinion has to be the gentleman who has stopped from outside the united states. of america has considered the medium challenge account and suspended usaid corporation. so all this, we create a lot of suffering for our people. this function decided by it costs leave the timeframe over a week to restore legitimate and legal authorities present value and the bottom a month. ease and look for a tendency for those was at the pin to give back by law,
2:12 am
just to, to save to our people. i miss the city and every w. a suffering a do your genuinely belief that a peaceful return of power is possible given the general she on a the qu lita is blamed, present, buzzing for failing to safe god. the country for me on groups i saw i key, i'll call you doing. i know this is at the end of was no, it isn't figured this situation actually is imposing on the ground, the military themselves say that and the proud of it i had here in washington dc and the location of high rock military people and they go to the product on my end to the dental, and they said that they are proud. that's what they're doing. much better than our neighbors. and no major i back against out of military did not take place. says basil, why med took office. so planning that this should you, this a good, did you,
2:13 am
jason? is deteriorating? is the wrong blending that, that the social economy governance or the bathroom? is it, it has very, is also wrong. we did 7th percent of economic growth in 2022 after covering from the quoted era our social effect mainly the education sector has got its 1st 1st year peaceful without striking for the last 15 years. so in that context, there is no reason what so ever to make. i think 20 people have died and dozens are missing and beijing off a torrential rain coast flooding on land slides tie from ducks. here we have swept north across china, causing widespread destruction. katrina, you reports from beijing. sweethearts of aging are submerged stuff to storms, both by typing book story,
2:14 am
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 land slides. evacuating orders are issued for more than 50000 people. clean up operations underway, the worsted areas of montalvo and function. several vehicles were swept away as roads were turned into rivers. they will have another the flood of a scary, how many cars will washed away. even people will wash it away. there's nothing you can do about a natural disaster, but the minimum is on one day with them. not all. i have never seen such heavy rain in my life. maybe just a few times, but this time the rain last the for so long ever. storage east 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, pumping use of
2:15 am
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 let this issue the deluge holiday weeks of reckless high temperatures, x 3 with us. that's scientists attribute to climate change. talk we look sorry, swept through the southern problem to, for general the weekend, affecting more than 2000000 people cause of damage with more than 2000000000 dollars. 18000 homes have been destroyed. china is now preparing for another type. food cannot, which is approaching the east coast. katrina, you alda, 032. i mean, laws for melita armstrong, sushi has been paused and by the monitoring 5 of the 19 cases against her should remain on the house arrest. and the other sentences had been reduced. that's possible, i'm this big wanted to more than 7000 prisoners to mock and put his leg. sushi was
2:16 am
detained, african in 2021. a lot also to come here and i'll just say we're including nowhere to sleep. hundreds of asylum seekers lined the streets of new york. outside of the hotel converted into an overcrowded language center under the desk defining journey across the atlantic. we bring you the story of full style ways in search of a better life on the the brought to you by visit castle. now there is to the site for a hot weather in, for example, alabama and louisiana. but what used to be the case and the distance southwest has been replaced by some of the stones, a line you can trace here which follows the ones that were quite actively read through washington dc. now this is no cool weather, no longer 50 in new york or
2:17 am
d. c. and this is now no longer middle to high forty's, but big sandstone for the potential of tornadoes and the plains states are one in nebraska. there. so go, but that's not a big risk at the moment. jumping science of the us, not to the american and central america. the wet weather is lights be again, concentrated anywhere from nicaragua, back to guatemala and so from mexico. the shackles a lights are in cuba. as you spend your order on the smaller islands to leave woods in particular after they've been fed, he went recently. that rate extends the forward shaft and towards some columbia in the found on the present. then each last, the dry essentials temper has been on the high side have to admit that the sun is out and it's been pretty warm and power required for the most the last 2 or 3 years . to be honest. beyond that it's hardly surprised to find very windy weather we spoke sharon's only across patagonia and across the falkland islands, basically an option tina i think on the cool side but sunny the weather brought to
2:18 am
you by visit cuts on the latest news as it breaks the fire as keeps friday, excuse me, we've been talking to fire fighters. they're saying that there's very little they can do with these heavy, with, with detail coverage, with hopes of a decisive victory on the bicycle. on the fading, the initial altitude seems to be changing from around the world. every child on the set of still receives a liter of elk each day, but it stays capacity to see the vulnerable from sanctions because the ministry, the welcome back into their mind about top stories here. this our former us president donald trump has been indicted again. faces full accounts, including conspiracy to,
2:19 am
to full, the united states and obstructing official proceedings for his attempts to overturn the results of the 2021st mentioned an extra for trumpet school, the latest indictments collection of interference statement to the question. it's time. and instead of the charges were sufficient reminiscence of nazi germany and other products having a good story, especially this weekend, bruce fine, he's a constitutional lawyer and format us associate deputy attorney general. he joins us live from washington, dc. bruce, always good to have you on the program. so this and diamond was pretty robust from jack smith. it runs to some $45.00 pages. i'll see what's all the charges against the former president and his as yet unnamed co conspirators as well. they're very serious because they go to the heart and soul of what the american revolution was about government by the consent of the government, peaceful transfer of power. so it goes to mr. trump's effort to basically roll back
2:20 am
to the american revolution to return to the days of king george the 3rd. that's very serious. and american people can understand that much easier than they can understand. maybe some of the espionage act charges for tomorrow. lago in the, the stormy daniels charges in new york about paying off the prostitute, you know, to keep embarrassing information out, but just want everyone to bet who both understands the importance and the seriousness of these offenses. and it seems we're no contracts, no, no man's land here, bruce, because let's talk through some scenarios. him and what happens then if trump is convicted before the presidential election and even goes to jail, what happens then? what was had a candidate for the president name was eugene debs. he was a socialist. he was convicted under the espionage jack in during world war one for opposing us entree into world war one and even attempting to frustrate the bolshevik revolution. and he captured
2:21 am
a 1000000 both which are so well he was in jail. so none of the offences that are alleged against mr. trump would disqualify him from the ballot in contrast to an offense that could have been a little insurrection on january 6. that wouldn't be disqualifying, but they haven't much that. so if mr. trump is in jail and he's not the school of fight and he's elected. then we have a president who is convicted in sitting in j. at that point, we do confront a novel constitutional question. one that i confronted when i was in the justice department during the nixon administration and a president, pardon me, himself, and the department at that time with nixon included, a president may not because there's a flavor, a conflict of interest. and there's no way that you could believe a president was acting in partially in that circumstance, but that issue has never been educated in the court of law. so we don't know whether trump's effort to part himself would succeed or not. i am doubtful that it
2:22 am
would, and i do think that if he did card himself, the converse would view that part and as an impeachable offense, which he can pardon for impeachment. and he would be removed from offs. and by handling off the investigation, jack smith's investigation to a special council, how much does this then? she'll divide ministration from claims of bias and interference. and when it comes to mr. trump, there's nothing you could do to prevent them from planning biased interference, whatever even claims that when his own us attorney in delaware was the one who signed off on the hunter buying, you know, pre agree, okay. user on us to turn well to which are you remember, the charge is that a by the administration is advanced to the special council are supported when they marshal the witnesses in the indictment by virtually all profit administration officials. so these are not buying people, making the accusations, these are truck people that makes them far more persuasive and shows how,
2:23 am
how this idea as well. mr. biting is out together. it's your own people. and mr. trump, that you appointed, including attorneys, generals white house counsel's, he goes to the app and whatever kept telling you there is no fraud. bruce, just to find a point you before you go, i mean of jack smith's setting, his press conference. these are really allegations, and of course they need to be proven in a coat of little. so what sort of time table then we're looking at because there was some suggestions already, but from could appear in court as early as this week. well, these allegations are pretty straightforward and they've always been rehearsed in many respects by the january 6 select committee in congress. there's nothing in the that's surprising to me who follows this. so it's really a matter of how accelerated we can put the schedule. and remember, a judge will be sensitive with the fact that trump is also confronting other charges, not only criminal charges in more lago florida in the new york, but still claims as well. but he may just tell mr. trump, well you've got it, you're gonna have to decide yourself. you got yourself into this mix. we're not
2:24 am
going to delay the trial in the past 2024. so you may could pardon yourself, but my view is this truck really has no defenses. he's. he can't possibly pay attention to the actual cases. he doesn't have enough time in the day. he's got to try to run for it. his defense is really going to be, i'm going to run for president, get more support because of these indictments from my base. and if i win or pardon myself, that just get out of jail free card. i don't think he really thinks he's going to, we've been any of these cases. he's going to be convict bruce fine. always good to get your thoughts on your analysis here. thank you very much for talking to us, bruce. thank you. thank you. okay, now how does that asylum take us a form long lines outside of new york hotel, it's been converted into a center to help the hotel is posted signs outside saying it's already a full capacity. but more people continue to get of it was new york struggles with its flow of migrants in your professional sites, provided services to some 90000 migrants. in the past year and a half gabriel is on the is in new york city with the story. and every migrant has
2:25 am
their own personal story. many of come from venezuela for echo door like many here outside this hotel or young man from africa and go send a gold, shad sudan or some of the countries where many of these young man has 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 borders 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 the 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
2:26 am
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, perilous journey to get here is it they do, since we 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 and 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 it. reach here to the united states now for nigerian star ways across the atlantic ocean perched on top of the ships ronda had
2:27 am
been recounting the remarkable story of survival. they say they run out of food and drinking board to up to 10 days and see when that death defying voyage from africa was finally over. they had no idea that ended up in south america, and lucon has more after weeks, etc. 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 they can monday, how do you know where you have a signal? understood this is rouse 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, stockholm and nigeria. they stayed perched in the cramped space above the rudder of
2:28 am
the container, ship dangerously close to the propeller, looping the fish in it around the rudder and tying themselves to it, provided stability. each was updated with figuring for me in a full stream. how may of i tried on this because i already made up my mind to leave. why just some of the powers dam is seen the 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 and another please. i am staying my children 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,
2:29 am
their inter continental voyage is over. but the pursuit to find a better life, continues and run a lot, hon. i'll just here. so now, so it has picked up a signal from its deep space voyage, a to probably about a 2 weeks of silence. it's 46 years since voyage of bloss at off to study the outer planets operate to error cause the signal loss 19000000000 kilometer. some of it's like it's twins. lloyd's one, the spacecraft on the, on the mind made objects to venture into the void between this task some engine and forth from chicago. somewhere in nasa there must have been a collective hoops uttered when they realized on july 21st that they had lost contact with the voyager to space craft. a series of commands had been sent to the voyage or 2, and there was an error included on that which put the intended to degrees off, it's mark and communicating with. or if that was enough to lose contact with nasa. and that's how it stood for almost 2 weeks,
2:30 am
but on tuesday now says that they were able to hear a message from voyager to if they're not able to regain to way contact before october. 15th, then void. your 2 does what it does, several times a year and resets. so that communication should begin again. when that happens and then void your to avoid, your one can go on their mission, traveling toward the outer planets of the solar system in collecting data on jupiter and saturn. yeah, so it will update us on if and when that communication is re established. john, hindrance l g 0 chicago, the tougher picture of a headlines here on i'll just say we're a former us president donald trump has been indicted.
