has pleaded not guilty to 4 federal charges of conspiring to clean the power. despite his defeat in the 2020 presidential election in the past few hours, trump has appeared in a federal court house in washington dc. you are looking at live pictures right now of the president, former presidents motorcade as he is traveling back to his home in bed minster, new jersey, me. now we should point out that to this was all happening at the courthouse just about a kilometer away from the capital building, which if you'll recall, was stormed by his supporters on january 6th, 2021. now this is the 3rd criminal case against the republican front runner, but one that goes to the heart of american democracy. now the next terry is scheduled for later this month. and the former president, donald trump, has framed the legal case against him. as a political witch hunt,

this is a very sad day for america. and it was also very sad driving through washington dc and seeing the bill and the k at all of the broken buildings in the wall. this is not the place that i left. it's a very sad thing to say when you look at what's happening, this is a persecution of a political opponent. this was never supposed to happen in america. the persecution of the person that's leading by very, very substantial numbers in the republican primary and leading by, by a lot of you can read a new person or you prosecute them. we can't let this happen in america. well, and fisher joins us now live from outside the federal courthouse where donald trump was arraigned. and alan talk to us a little bit about trump's experience inside that court as

well. shared donald trump was hoping that the next time he was in washington dc, standing in front of a judge to be taking the oath of office at a 2nd and no direction. instead, he was here in the federal court house, not far from the capital, actually pleading not guilty to for federal charges for the charges of conspiracy. one of obstruction all tied to his election denial is i'm believing that the 2020 presidential election was fraudulent that there was both are regularities, despite the fact that many people in his own government, including his own attorney general, including his own election security chief, told him there was no such problem. well, the special prosecutor believes he can prove to a court beyond a reasonable doubt that donald trump knew he'd lost the election, but continued with what was legal operation to try and deprived the american people of a peaceful transition of power of people texting their vote. and getting the leaders that they wanted, he was desperate to stay in power and know that there was to suggest that he

launched his election campaign back in november last year to try and ensure that he could paint any sort of legal action against them as political prosecution and when he left, that's exactly what he was saying, but it hasn't hit his popularity. he is still, as he says, by far the leading republican candidate to win the presidential nomination for his part to join him. he knows edit. com, who is a long time media at the political analyst at eric. it seems as if donald trump can do no wrong in the eyes of the large suite of the republican party. that's right. he can, he can, he can do whatever you want. the problem is he does have a wall and that is when he actually gets to a general election. we saw that in 2020. we saw that with this party in the way they will fully under perform in 2022, which is why there's a lot of anxiousness about donald trump as the nominee. because the question is,

if he wasn't successful as an incumbent and 2020, how could he possibly be successful in 2024. with now 3 indictments hanging over his head. the number of republican senators voted against his impeachment on charges tied to january. the 6th, did they do the self preservation? so absolutely they did. this is donald trump's party, whether he's in power or out of power, and we're seeing that play out right now. and how popular here he is with his base . but more importantly, how he's able to raise the norm as amounts of money style, more than, than any other candidate in the g o p race right now. and that much of that money is coming from small dollar donations, which means every day regular people are sending donald trump money and nights that speaks to just the deep well the reservoir of goodwill that he has with so many of his folders. and how if you're running against donald trump, do you separate yourself from them? because so many of them are seeing this as

a political persecution. there are others are saying the 202020 election was stolen from donald trump. how do you create that distance from the mine? who is the front runner? how do you be? does it not? donald trump, what we've seen randa santas attempt that the problem is, he simply doesn't have the personality to actually excite the base. and that's why we're seeing so many people run from him. now one candidate who i think is rising, it's highly questionable reveal overtake donald trump. but vivek, remo swami is looking to be this, this candidate, this election cycle is uh, you know, lightning right right now. but again, donald trump's base is ardently with him, and i don't think there is going to be much at this point that can be done to actually sway the republican base from donald trump. several leading republicans having the last couple of others. in fact, just as the case ended, santori statements of support for donald trump. surely that's not a surprise because they, they need to jump supporters for their own otherwise,

the face getting kicked out of office by their own party. yeah, this is a party now that where the level of purity, the purity test for the party is your level of support for donald trump. that is not only if you're running for the republic, the were the presidential nomination, but it says it's also if you're running down valley and also to now, if you have donald trump endorsement, his support, that is your ceo of approval. and so we're saying we're seeing that level of tension within the party right now, where you have some republicans who are buying for the senate, who are concerned about where donald trump will stand with some of those candidates . because as we have seen, while the bass loves donald trump, the rest of the country doesn't. and i think that's a problem for the party if they want to try to take back control of washington. does he get a bump of this court appearance today, both and popularity and, and fundraising? absolutely. he does that. com. thank you very much indeed for joining us. i think

it's important as well to put in context what happened to you today. we had a mind who was appealing in court charged with trying to stop the peaceful transition of power in the republic that had done not for more than 200 years and tried to do it while he was president. that was the case. so often it's easy to get lost in all of donald trump's legal troubles from the state case against them in new york and the documents case in miami. this was a hugely significant moment. and if and when this goes to trial, is it no almost inevitably? well, people are saying that this could be the most important trial that the republic and america has ever seen. all right, ellen, thank you for that. alan fisher, they're outside the court room in washington dc. thank you. the trying to other news news years to leaders have declared that they will revolt some

author back you're watching alger 0 reminder of our top story is this. our former us president donald trump has pleaded not guilty for federal charges related to attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. trump has called if political persecution the judge has set the next court hearing for august 28th is there's 2 leaders have declared that they will revoke some military cooperation agreements with france. supporters of the military takeover rallied in the capital on the country's national day to protest against international pressure. 4th sections aimed at reinstating the deposed president. of the 6 month cease,

fire has formally begun columbia in government forces and the rebels. rubio land, ending nearly 16 years of armed conflict, conflicts with arms groups. it has been a key role of president, gustavo petro, or going to return now to our top story. the historic indictment were you as president donald trump special council jack smith filed for charges against him on tuesday, but they don't bar him from running in the next year's presidential election. they include conspiracy to defraud the united states by refusing to accept his loss in the 2020 presidential election. now a 2nd charge is conspiracy against the rights of voters by depriving them of having their votes properly counted. also conspiracy, the stall and official proceeding telling his supporters that elections cannot be trusted in claiming their rigs and obstruction of an attempt to obstruct unofficial

proceeding when congress was trying to certify the elections. on january 6th of 2021 appeared before to bring in bruce fine. now he is the former us associate deputy attorney general. he joins us live here on alger 0. talk to us a little bit about the defense that donald trump, the attorneys, are going to be using. it seems to be coming into focus. essentially, it seems to be coming down to that, the former president believe the election was stolen. and it was essentially his 1st amendment right or freedom of speech to say, so is that kind of what you're seeing here? well, that may be the attempt. we don't have the defense plan already compa size. but remember really the devastating bullets been shot by mr. trump's own appointees or clinical lloyd list the most persuasive i think is mike chris,

mike pence is vice president who said this that on january 6th in the morning before the attack of the capital, mr. trump demanded of mister pins that he chose between quote himself for the constitution. i know those words indicate mr. trump knew that there was a constitutional way to challenge the votes and his weight, which was just by flooding the 12th amendment, and not counting the votes. so it's very hard to claim that mr. trump actually thought, you know, he was just engaged in free speech as he conceded that there was a difference between the constitution. what he was demanding which was unconstitutional. the, the, the effort may be made none the less, but i think it's going to be totally destroyed by all the evidence showing that mr . trump knew that his claim was false indeed is attorney general is white house

counsel. all of his advice, including john eastman, who was one of the co conspirators said mr. trump, if this case goes to the supreme court, it'll go $9.00 to 0, you'll get a single vote. so the fact is, all of the advice from pad and he's not a lawyer with no, this is an observer, say, any interpretation of the 12th amendment. it hadn't been followed in 234 years ever . and therefore, is no good faith belief that what he was doing at all felt within the realm of free speech. so it sounds like what you're saying is, this is a defense. it's unlikely to work in other words, ignorance of the law. and we know that donald trump is at a cost material scholar and ignorance of allies, not the defense. is that what you're saying? this is unlikely to build the economic ignorance of the lawyers, rule, willful blindness. he's advised by his expert lawyers. i and they all tell him, there is no fraud. we've investigated. indeed, mr. trump paid over

a $1000000.00. they have to have his own private investigative companies search for front. they came back and reported to mr. trump. we couldn't find anything. so this isn't the situation where trump is trying to choose between 2, legitimate or plausible interpretations of the 12th and manage of the facts. there was a uniform understanding among all of the trump people. there is no fraud. the 12th amendment requires mister pins to simply count the electoral votes as were certified by state governors. and remember, these were certified after 61 court proceedings. all fail brought by mr. trump, challenging those certifications. so it wasn't like there was a due process and it was like we had a prior effort to get the votes we had, and mr. trump did fail. and if we single case, what about the claim by the president, that he can't get a fair trial in washington. given the fact that the majority of residents in washington voted for president by the in the, in the last selection,

not for president trump. and the reality is, is that when you're pulling for a jury, you're mostly pulling for people that were opposed to donald. trump, can he get a fair trial as well? i think the answer is yes, the base, i think the base point is to think about water date and i was involved in that every day for 18 months. i remember watergate involved. republicans, mr. nixon though, don't vary the district of columbia cuz ours in the middle of it. oh, do you virtually all floor up at george mcgovern. there, democrats is a highly democratic jurisdiction and all of watergate trials to calibrate trials, tiles where hell, where in washington, dc, even though republicans where the defendants and the jurors were drawn from a largely democratic jurisdiction. and the reason why that is accepted is that during the jury selection process, the lawyers are entitled 1st to question the jurors to see if they have a bias of

a course. the jurors could live, but that's perjury and via crime. and even if they are stating a bias, they are called given peremptory challenges. i think it's like 6 or 8 on each side say we just are uncomfortable this year. and so the fact is on these kinds of high profile trials involving everybody short of the president of the united states. since this is a 1st and a history where a former present will be tried, but that certainly is willing and 23400 people were spying right of time. want to thank you for giving us your insights as always. thank you. that is associated the former usa associated deputy attorney general bruce fine. all right, we're going to turn to some other news now. thank you was fine. so socrates and mexico, i found a 2nd body in the rio grande between the united states and mexico. now both bodies were found by floating barriers recently built by the state of texas on the river,

which forms the border between the 2 countries. family members gathered 2 more in the latest victim in mexico. reporter rob rentals reports from eagle pass and texas, that the justice department is now taking legal action to remove the barriers. it describes this both dangerous and illegal of the discovery of 2 bodies in the rio grande. one of them, a child migrant from honduras, has cast a harsh light on texas governor greg abbott's efforts to secure the border on his own without any help from the federal government. you can see behind me, right, a coils of razor wire high chain link fences and in the center of the river, a line of orange booties. all of these are intended to keep migrants from crossing the river into the united states, or at least to make it more difficult for them to do so. one of the bodies that was discovered on wednesday had been caught up on those boys. although we have to add,

it is not known how either of those people died or where their deaths may have occurred. occurrence may have brought them some distance from the actual place of their depths. this has now become an international incident with the mexican president andres manuel lopez o brad door, speaking out strongly against abbot and his security measures at a press conference on thursday. getting on the bus. you shouldn't act like that case the. it's in humanity, new mind. no person to be treated this way. as for the people here in eagle past texas, most of them tell me that they believe the solution is comprehensive. immigration reform. something that has been stymied in congress for years. without it, they say there will be more migrants attempting to cross the river and more depths, rob rentals, i'll just 0, you go past texas. a fierce gun battles have resumed in the largest refugee

camp for palestinians, and 11 on 3 people were injured overnight. as a fragile cease fire ended. 5 days of fighting between rival factions has now killed 13 people. as in 100 reports from the cap, tens of thousands of palestinians are effected. this is one of the front lines and i know halloway. at the moment. there is a law in the violence and lebanon's largest palestinian refuge account behind this barrier is a strong hold of sham. this shim, an armed group, involved in the latest factional fighting. this is usually a bustling market. up to 60000 palestinians. live in a 1.5 square kilometer area. people are scared to venture outside of the day and what about the situation is not stable. we don't know what to do. many people are displaced and living in mosques and science. straight bullets and rockets are

landing not just inside the camp, but a nearby neighborhood. several people have been killed and many more injured. in some areas, the destruction is extensive. high buick. these are our homes, our shops, they have been burned down. everything has been burned. the residents of i know how do we are poor palestinian refugees, have few rights and are not allowed to hold jobs and many professions and 11 on on the how lovely i knew this was my father's shop. he used to sell coffee and cigarettes to be able to buy food. now we've lost our livelihood. we are destroyed . do you and relief and works agency, which is a lifeline for people here how suspended services including health care. since the conflict began on saturday, efforts to end the fighting have failed. the main stream for the movement is

demanding the killers of one of its commanders be brought to justice. the movers will once it by the state to entering the camp and using it as a safe haven bye.
