8:03 pm
. you know, the drivers cannot reach the part of clinton, which is vital for the economy of mid year and its export. and i gave you a about an hour for the measure. you're also close as borders is yours, military council keeps pressing because they are currently waiving a battle for the sake of the country sovereignty. and this is why they think the support they receive from molly working of fossil and getting to who did not agree to implement the decisions made by the west african regional blog. meanwhile, western nations, mainly france, started evacuating a citizen and other europeans from this year out of fear of what could happen to their nationals in the country. these, after the cool, the toppled president mohammed doesn't have a lot, because uh, i guess the uh, the army, to one of the officers behind the cruise, the missing members of montes military governments, in bomber code to increase security cooperation between the neighbors. former army chief of staff, so promoting says he's met molly's transitional president. awesome. and going to
8:04 pm

8:05 pm
they say that they would be willing to put fluid troops to participate in any echo us action insight needs yet. of course, yeah, international pressures also be building up on these. yeah, we've seen the sanctions imposed by the you buy from us at glass itself is frozen orphanages assets in the regional bank and stopped to transactions in dealing with the country. so despite that being said, mainly these diplomatic efforts, we also know that there has been an echo as delegation, 6 to nature in the last 24 hours or so. so they're, they're all diplomatic efforts ongoing and all eyes are on a boucher donald tom's doing called seemed to face charges of conspiring to overturn his defeat. and the presidential election 3 years ago is about to set off from his golf tub in veterans to new jersey. to farm and us president, already for his criminal charges and 2 other cases. but this is the 1st indictment
8:06 pm
related to find. he was in the white house count reports from washington dc. the media is gathered security around the quote house is being wrapped up and the former president is due to be indicted on the most serious charges, yet brought against him. one of his lawyer says the defense rejects the trial date, envisioned by the prosecution to take president trump to trial in 90 days, of course is absurd. the question is, why do they want to do that? if you want to seek justice, then you need to offer mister, present the president, trump an opportunity to get a hold of all the evidence. the federal judge who was chosen at random to hear the cases jamaican bone, tanya trip can. she was appointed by a bama in 2014. she's presided over dozens of prosecutions relating to the attack on the capital on january the 6th 2021, which he has described in one judgment as a violent attempt to over throw the government. and it nearly succeeded with john
8:07 pm
joseph presided over an option in broad fight. donald trump, in november of 2021. to prevent the white house from handing over documents to a house, select committee. he rejected the application saying on that occasion, the president is not a king, and the plaintive is not the president. in the conspiracy charges, the prosecution outlines the extent to which donald trump attempted to persuade his then vice president, to refuse to certify the vote. that's one of what the indictment says is a series of criminal acts and in relation to transactions leading up to and on january the 6 mike pins issued his strong goods criticism yet. and that on that day, president trump asked me to put him over the constitution, but i chose the constitution. and i always will. and i, i, uh, i really do believe that anyone who puts himself over the constitution should never
8:08 pm
be president of united states. and anyone who asked someone else to put themselves over the constitution should never be president of the united states. again, the former president's response was scaling in a lengthy message on his social media. donald trump says of pence. he didn't fight against the election fraud, which will now be easily able to prove based on the most recent fake and document and information which will have to be made available to us. finally, a really big deal. the v p had the power that mike didn't understand more than a 1000 people that being convicted on charges related to action stemming from this baseless claim of election fraud. some sentence to present terms of up to 18 years . the charges of similar to those brought against donald trump. the mike kinda, i'll just say arrest washington. got into a cost of joining us, not from washington dc. heidi,
8:09 pm
you're going to be leading us through what's gonna be happening over the next few hours. we've just seen donald trump getting into one of the i think it's for su, visa, or we can see that side is a bed minister of golf course in new jersey. they're not gonna be making the weight as a convoy through betterments or an up towards the courtroom there. tell us what is going to happen once donald trump actually gets to the court in the process begins rob, this court house is ready and waiting for the former presidents arrival all the entrances, except one have been sealed to the public access and within a few hours time is when we expect trump will have arrived here. he's flying here on his private jet, and then he's expected to be escorted into the building, perhaps v in an underground entrance outside of the public view. and then he will be taken to have his fingerprints taken once again by federal marshals. and then there will be a brief court hearing. this is his chance to appear before a magistrate judge to hear those charges against him. read out. she will make sure
8:10 pm
that he understands those charges and he'll be allowed to submit a plea and he has said he will submit not guilty. all of that will play out if according to plan will be very short appearance. perhaps the former president will speak to the press, maybe not as far as the scene surrounding all of this right now. it's been a pretty well controlled and peaceful scene since yesterday, when i was here all throughout this morning. only a handful of protesters coming here and coming there, but nothing by way of the potential hundreds or thousands that some had predicted. certainly a lot of law enforcement, a lot of press watching this is in bold minutes, 5 minutes. mm hm. the defense for donald trump already has been launching some of these complaints and criticisms of, of the trial. in particular, it's looking to try and move the trial away from washing in dc. why wouldn't want to do that? well here the jury panel,
8:11 pm
i will come from a district that in 2020 only 5 percent of voters in washington dc voted for trump. and his attorney say that makes this jury pool change it or biased. however, this is the venue that is most convenient to the facts of this case down the street, in fact, is where the capital stands that was attacked on january 6. really at the heart of these charges that trump now faces. and so many are saying it's very unlikely that this case would lead washington. but the present, the former president, also indicating that he really wants his version of the story to be heard. even as he was leaving button in stir writing on his social media platform that he's on his way to do you see to be arrested. he says, and to have had a rested for having challenged, corrupt, rigged, and stolen election. it is a great honor. he wrote because i am being arrested for you to speaking directly to his supporters. so certainly this is not
8:12 pm
a person who wants to hide from this. he is coming here to head to face this head on. and frankly, in the past when he has been indicted, his pulling among his core base of supporters has only gone up words. and so not only the legal strategies at play here, but also the political strategy. heidi just briefly do we have any hints about how his defendants are planning to respond to these indictments to yeah, we've heard his attorney speaking to the press saying that the 1st amendment should have put, should protect the former president. because his claims of the election had been stolen, they say fall under free speech. well that is addressed to a certain extent. and then diamond saying yes, he had the right to say anything. he wants him to even spread the false hood that the life that the election had been stolen. but prosecutor say the, the line that trump cross was when he went beyond just speaking, but then corrupt we pushed, sir, i guess,
8:13 pm
and his subordinates to try to take action that co that were, were meant to overturn the results of the election. he did so according to this, in diamonds, by pressuring state officials in the battleground states where he lost, as well as his own department of justice officials, as well as his own vice president. notably, all of these people refused to do as they were pushed to do by trump and by his surrogates and so that if we did that, the action being going any further except for this is a case of january 6th. when of course we saw that. so that mob approach from supporters marching to the capital at the be has, as a former president to try to stop congress from certified, jo biden's, when all of those facts laid out in this indictment, of course, that's not what will be discussed today. again, it's just a very perfunctory, 1st court appearance with this trial to be started at a later date, ports are waiting. find out when that is whether or not it will happen before the next presidential election. yeah, it may be a shortly,
8:14 pm
but at the same time the next few hours are going to be very significant. heidi, thank you very much. indeed, heidi joe castro, talking to us from washington, dc of the governing policies and bobby's being accused of undermining the potential for a free and fair election. later this month. human rights sports investigation says donald p. f is linked to violence, intimidation, congressman and refreshing. and the body is accused of weaponized in the justice system against opponents presidential and parliamentary elections due to be held on august. the 23rd i show on the board of shots is deputy director of the african division that human rights watch. and she explains some of the concerns raised and the report this in the report, the highlights. and we make the findings that there's involved in government has not made it so big sions, under international and reaching in those to make sure that the upcoming elections are conducted in an environment that is free, fair impartial, and field bivens. and we didn't do research for 2 weeks in 18 in may
8:15 pm
this year, and we interviewed 28 people and we did, and i read this on the documents to come up to this finding the server concerns that we found while doing a research. the 1st one is related to those involved. we link transmission, which is the city t, according to the constitution, does it these days supposed to be non political. but since the 2002 elections does involve a link to a commission has been heavy, need to rise to use the word of one of our into periods. and even in this one we have, and we have some one linked to the army whose chief elections officer. and if you look at the violence in 2008, if we look at the violence in 2018, they were over a big of a company said to what happened, but it has to be no accountability for that. so the fact that the, the vin he sees the compulsion is a, is not puff is not in pushing you to come say we have made calls to the static and
8:16 pm
a members needs to put pressure on. doesn't probably move at the top conversations with isn't probably government to make sure that the environment is more conducive for elections and that the election of the patient. so even if president non background, you prove state that only nations friendly to him, to the come to the country will be allowed to the elections. then now we have the european union and we have the sonic. and then we have uh, also commission of those who have to be cited, but they need to have access to all parts of the country. that is very important to make sure that the that is happening on the ground. right. dusty mont appear is volkswagen. far as in bobby's governing is, i know p f e spoke to us either by phone. how do you describe the human rights watch report as a fantasy novel? if you look at the content of the documents, you have so many falls within so many missed correct uh,
8:17 pm
states that this puts in that and you find that this thing that we're looking to open. the reason for messing where i live yet the police eventually blocked the most on a few fridays on the opposition. if they would do, you have to check for them to do objective representation though it is monday and to top of violence from 2008 for the defense, little bit to the, to the or for independence. $197.00 tonight. and that's a beatles. excessive lucas history. why? why don't these people say binding, but just opening this yet. but as they have to report this, it's really expensive. what police, all police have brought to a default, or at least $259.00 of the opposition. so all of the police a working in favor of done a p. if this is something i thought the should tons of a going back. those have resumed and the largest refugee come from palestinians in lebanon. 3 people were injured overnight as a fraudulent seas far ended. 5 days of fierce fighting between the bible functions as killed 13 people. as in all the reports from the camp,
