the hello, i'm kimberly how good this is al jazeera live from dell ha. also coming up, the supporters of new shares to leaders, raleigh against foreign sanctions. and the june to ends military packed with france . a milestone for peace in columbia, a 6 month cease fire between the government and the country's largest remaining rebel groups. formally begins out thousands of people. mostly children are displaced after clashes between rival factions and 11 on the largest palestinian refugee camp. the in the united states of america

versus donald j. trump, the former us president, has pleaded not guilty to, for federal charges, conspiring to clean the power despite his defeat and the 2020 presidential election trough impaired in a federal court house in washington, dc. just about one kilometer away from the capital building, which was stormed by his supporters on january 6th, 2021. now it is the 3rd criminal case against the. 2 public in front where our router, but it is one that goes to the heart of american democracy. donald trump has framed the legal cases against him as a political which on this is a very sad day for america. sad, it was also very sad driving through washington dc and seeing the bill and the k at all of the broken buildings. and this is not the place that i left. it's a very sad thing to say it. 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 and the republican primary and leading by, by a lot of you can create a new person or you prosecute them. we can't let this happen in american olympics hearing for the case is scheduled for later this month. alan fisher reports from the outside of the federal courthouse where donald trump was arranged. donald trump wanted to return to washington dc and try on his thoughts presidential campaign, a success. him standing in front of a judge being sworn in the 2nd general duration. but when he stood in front of a judge in washington on thursday, it was to plead not guilty to for federal charges all tied in to the fact that he claims the 2020 presidential election. what's fraudulent that there were 14

irregularities, as the prosecution suggests that he knew he'd lost the election, but continued to act, to the way with the intent of depriving american voters of a peaceful, transparent power, of depriving american voters. putting in power demand that they wanted to leave the country. donald trump's defence will be that he had a 1st amendment right the right of free speech to see what he did, what the prosecution will allege is not what he said. it's what he did. now his team have said that they will appear in court again on august the 28th. is that the latest possible date given to them by the judge? and perhaps the suggestion that he's very keen to delete this case as much as possible on leaving, he again claimed that this was a political prosecution, but it hasn't impacted on his popularity in the race for the republican presidential nomination is still by finding a way to leaving candidates, and there is no sign of that changing any time soon,

but it might be different if he's got to spend several weeks over the summer defending himself in a federal courthouse island for sure. i'll just do the washington. okay, we want to dive a little deeper into this historic indictment of the former us president donald trump. that was special counsel for this case. jack smith filed for federal charges against donald trump on tuesday, but they don't bar him from running and next year's presidential election. they include conspiracy to defraud the united states by refusing to accept his loss of the 2020 election. a 2nd charges conspiracy against the rights of voters by depriving them of having their votes properly counted. also, conspiracy to stall an official proceeding by telling his supporters that elections cannot be trusted, and claiming their rigs and obstruction of an attempt to obstruct an official proceeding. when congress was trying to certify the elections on january 6th of 2021. well,

we want to bring in bruce fine. he's the former us associate deputy attorney general, and he's joining us from washington d. c. bruce, talk to us a little bit about the defense that we expect, that donald trump's attorneys are going to use. it seems to be what we're sort of starting to get a glimpse of is that. we know that donald trump leave the election was stolen, but it appears that this defense is that it was his 1st amendment right to say. so is this defense going to work for the former president? you know, and i think you would be incorrect to say that the defense is well, just look at his words and the prosecutor says, look how we act. let me give you 2 instances in which mr. compton south was speaking on one occasion he was speaking to mister pants and said you are too honest. when mister penn said, well, he was going to comply with the 12th amendment and counts of homes that have been

certified by all the states for the presidential election in 2020 year 2 honest, which means mr. trump knew that an honest person would acknowledge that mister bye and won the election a 2nd statement. and again, this is a statement on the actions that mr. trump made to mike pence on the morning of january 6, was you need to choose between me and the constitution, which again, isn't acknowledgment with his own words that he knew what his position was, was contrary to the constitutional position. but the vice president counts the state certified electro bones, which would mean mister buying would be president of the united states. so the problem of the 1st amendment defends is, is demolished by the x. this the same reason why his political persecution defense will carry no water because 100 percent of the evidence is from trump appointees. and trump political, laura was not

a single democrats going to be testifying at the trial against mr. trump. they're all republicans out and you have a witch on against yourself. that's why i think all he's going to do is try to delay the regard to okay, i want to put upon that point actually because you brought up not a single democrat is going to be testifying against the former president. and yet, the president of supporters are form present. mrs. ford who are claiming that this is an apparatus, the justice system that has been weaponized against him. he's also claimed he's not an ordinary defended. he is running for president of the united states and the outcome of this case could have impacts on the outcome of the next presidential election. is that valid? is that fair? it may have an impact on the election, but the fact is that doesn't make it a political which on because you look to have to judicial proceedings. how can i be a political which i, when it's all operated by mr. trump,

that's witnessed the government can't go anywhere without evidence. the government and jack smith is just arguing, he does, he's not a direct fact finder is only the trump a point to use in a lawyer. this will be testifying, take, for example, the secretary of state of georgia, mr. spare, spartanburg aware the test, my yes, there was a phone call and mr. trump kept telling me, i need to find both that one chest. and he said it could be criminally. prosecute. that's a republican secretary of state. so the argument that, okay, oh, often times cases have criminal impacts, but doesn't mean it's a clinical prosecution. and in this case where all the evidence in the court will be coming from republicans, oil, and mr. trump. all right, bruce fire, we're gonna leave it there. thanks so much for joining us here in algae. 0. refine for were us associate deputy attorney general. thank you. all right,

the us as essex, which is an amphibious assault ship is a smaller version of an aircraft carrier, as well as information about other similar vessels. so that the chinese ostensibly could learn about how to build similar vessels for it's for their navy. again, this is, and the espionage case, he was allegedly transmitting information for more than a year. similar situation with the sucking sailor named thomas joe who was based in the san francisco area in the monterey bay. he was accused of passing along information about the us as re. busy and a large multinational law mill naval exercise in the pacific ocean. and he apparently was transmitting this information to chinese intelligence were a little more than a year. he could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted. and it's notable because he so far has not been charged with us to be an osh. alright,

a cost without subscribing to the decisions taken by it. that folds the form of colonial pallets of which to support which is directed. much of their anger, said is a had completed in the back, you ation of over a 1000 people. most of the $600.00 of the french. this is the 7th qu, in west africa in recent years. seems to the military leadership in molly, in between the fastest french and un troops to leave these yeah. was seen as one of the last by stevens of an international record to pick um, smart devices. and they will call it the fonts and the us had places in russia has condemned the to which some demonstrations have carried russian flags which the applicant countries in the western bank is 5th, the russian motion. recruit wagner. really helping model indicating that fast so flight on groups may step into the security that team and also knew jeff about who

with the violence that has affected this country for many, many decades, whether the ceasefire will succeed is a big question. there seems 7 attempts to close a police agreement with the land they have failed. and the other issue here is that there's several farms schools that do not want this ceasefire to 6. there's lots of things of state among them. for example, slip trafficking of at between these organizations, they say that they would continue to attack the ellen and the ear and says that the wasting too new to respond. so there's lots of stake here, but of course those who have been affected by the conflict by like this people that have come all the way here to global dot from. so the order with venezuela, they are looking for some things we've started changing their lives. the still ahead on al jazeera, find out why a plan to mass variables for people killed in many pores estimate conflicts is halted. stay with
