7:02 am
8 fulton county grand jury returned a true bill of indictment. charging 19 individuals with violations of georgia law, arising from a criminal conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in this state. the indictment includes $41.00 felony counts and is $97.00 pages long. to please remember that every one charged in this bill of indictment is presumed innocent, don't handle the joys of live, not from atlanta, georgia, john. and so the fulton county district attorney. the funny with this giving that press conference that we were watching earlier. what more to be learned about the indictments that have been handed down?
7:03 am
well, this is the 4th series of indictments against donald trump. and this one was very different than any of the other. and that's what this vending will, as the district attorney prosecutor did, exactly is if it were a crime case against an organized crime family, that racketeering charge. she kept mentioning every one of the 19 co defendants were charged with that conspiracy charge. and what she claimed was that the effort to overturn the georgia election was orchestrated by donald trump and those around him as if they were a crime family. they were charged with forgery. with making false statements with making false statements in writing. they were charged with harassing and intimidating election workers, and they were going to used of a data breach in which, in coffee county, georgia, a bunch of pro trump officials came in and physically examined the votes, scanning each one of them. and so, which is a legend, is that with those 41 charges against 19 different of individuals,
7:04 am
some of them as high as the former chief of staff of the white house, of rudy giuliani, the former mayor of new york, who is trumps. private lawyer. accuse them of banding together to try to overturn the georgia election by intimidating officials and by trying to elect of false slate of electors because you know, here in the us for the president, we don't elect them directly. we elect electors who then in turn elect the president, will, in this case the trump partisans were trying to set up a 2nd slate of electors so that they get over to the state of georgia. apparently the hope was they would do that in one state after another until they won the presidential election. and the prosecutor in this case is they also committed some of the crimes in this case in other states. and those are mentioned here as well. yeah, don't ask us saying this as trumps, full sets of charges, remind us again of the, of the 3 indictments and how is this likely to affect his run for the white house next year. so what,
7:05 am
what trunk is accused of a hush money scheme in new york state in which he paid off someone who was allegedly somebody had an affair with in order to quiet her before the election. she is accused in a federal case in washington, dc of trying to over throw the federal election and activities around the january 6 2021 insurrection, and in florida. another federal case is accused of withholding a top secret documents among other things and obstructing justice in that case. so here's the thing. if he becomes president, those federal charges, she personally has the power to pardon himself has never been done before and it could be tested in court, but he has a very broad power pardon if he were to be elected again. but in the state charges like georgia and new york, those charges would stick with even if he were convicted of those charges or nothing of the us constitution that stopped him from being able to run for
7:06 am
president or becoming president short of an act of treason. so this is testing new boundaries in elections and it's testing new boundaries in the court room. one interesting fact, the more trump is indicted, the higher his poll ratings go among republicans and the more money he raises in the 2024 election right there. don't engine light for us, the in atlanta, georgia. don't. thank you. well, the former president's campaign team have reduced this statement on his social media platform. truth social attacking the georgia prosecutor leading that investigation of the election into fear in some part of the statement says, george's radical democratic district attorney funding willis is a rabid, partisan who was campaigning and fundraising on a platform of prosecuting president from through these bogus indictments. it's all right, let's move on some of these now because the west african region above echo, as has condemned the decision of new jazz, many tribute as to prosecute the depose president for treason that holding it. yet

a power struggle play out there trying to see how they can silence by you as a president and then possibly ends on life. because once he's convicted, it means he's spend that is that he's going to spend the rest of his life in prison . and he'll know bedroom that'd be relevant for getting these yet. the problem is that chances are they have for an assessment was wrapped in the the charges come always f time to tackle the military base in between the region and also the kept doing. yeah. me that cute 7. so just it's a fault such attacks as administered to power. last month. the courtney decide the lack of security is one of the main reasons they over through the democratically elected president. but with these attacks on the rise, people are beginning to question the motives of the cool. on sunday senior religious figures from nigeria mit michelle's cletus, who stated a willingness to negotiate with the region of buck echoes in neighboring julia concerns. i'm mounting about events in this year as refugees to begin to cross its

7:12 am
in the mood homes of the commander of the 400 and 44th brigade of forces loyal to homes that then gave a deadline to the special detour and forced to release him. they didn't. and so we saw a security tensions rise, especially in southern tripoli, where both of these groups have a, have headquarters or barracks in those areas. a clashes be a wrapped in between them and the situation remains extremely tense. and we can hear a sporadic fighting. a sporadic gunshots in the distance mostly like weapons, but from time to time, we can here what we believe is the artillery or, or, or, or medium weapons being used in tripoli. the, it's a fragile piece. uh, when, when, when things are, are going well and situations like this can escalate extremely quickly. i mean, the last time that clashes erupted, you know, we had a 30 people died and over
7:13 am
a 100 injured. so people are extremely afraid of who's seen that the schools are, are now calling for, for uh, for them to be suspended for tomorrow. uh, just in case. so, i mean people, people are really afraid and the hope is that some kind of agreement can happen. and things can calm down. officials in iran, i blame the, i'm group i. so for sunday's attack on a permanent she a shrine in the city of sheer to us. at least 2 people were killed. a group of fine nationals has not been arrested dosage by reports and the capital tear off on how many of that me shot. this was the moment a lone gunman stormed into the shelter of shrine insurance and opened fire. the witnesses said it happened quickly. i saw people were running towards the exit who were injured. i didn't know what had happened. i saw

7:15 am
in spite agencies of being involved and what the government is calling a terrorist attack with the goal of creating division between iran and its neighboring countries. this is not the 1st time chaucer of shrine has been attacked last october, 3 gunman storms its grounds, killing 13 people. this 12 century shrine is the 3rd most important in the country . and now officials, we look into increases security and find out more about the 9 monday accuse of carrying out this attack the door. so jabari al jazeera tear off time for a short break here. now to 0. when we come back, more than 60 people have been killed in the indian state of a module for this month of dimensional range. that the region and we look on his starting with a young from a doctor, visits in the us and what it means for future legal battles on the, on the,

7:18 am
the . the welcome back. a group in mind of the top stories here. this a prosecutors in the us state of georgia of charge for my president donald trump was trying to overtime the results of the 2020 election election meddling charges. in addition to 3 of the cases, the former president space isn't fighting in libya as capital a trip in the united. sotheby's tension of a possible come on that is forces control, much of the city arriving full scepter. nothing comes up. as i mentioned, the international appleton tripoli, according to the lawyer, 2 officials in iran, the blame the iceland for sundays of talking a prominent shrine of these 2 people were killed. a group of farm nationalists has
7:19 am
now been arrest the desk told in hawaii is devastating, while fives has not reached 99 with a governess saying that number is set to rise. many a waiting for news on whether their friends and family are safe. officials say if it's defined and identify the dead are in the stages. she how about time? so you have the latest now from now if i think was very striking. was it for the last several days we've been outside about exclusions and so obviously the focus of exercising is behind when we've all seen the pictures of a devastated, destroyed town. well, we haven't really realized before. there is the so much l surrounding it, which is also in the exclusions and that really helped us understand why when we were outside big solutions. and over the last several days, people would come up to us and say that i'm not letting us that we have to get back in because so many people, thousands of people by the looks of it are still there. so you have the pos in the future, we have a lot of questions about the pos, meaning why didn't they know, why didn't they full see that this could be a possibility,
7:20 am
given all the warnings they've had since 2014 wide of the emergency side or the sounds when it was clear, it was an incredibly windy day, and fires were already burning. but now we're also looking to the future. i think something that is often forgotten as hawaii is effective in american calling the i know it became the state in 1959, but it's still that, that sort of suspicion and resentment among the big sections of the native land population here about the motives of the federal government in any way, yes, the 21st century link lead capitalism does off the capitalism. the way that the laser run the results and you have the money, have a, have a lack of making a crisis into an opportunity which might mean that many of them will end up losing out. and that's what we had in that report from various people, is that real suspicion and fear, and actually one of the reasons why certainly people, it remains on the western part of the island. how the left is that real fear about what's going to, what's going to happen next?
7:21 am
you know, when you have to remember the reason hawaii is a us state is because a bunch of white sugar plantation owners called the ministry and to overthrow the queen at the end of the 19th century. it's a very recent to learn to history that there's rooms in the numerous about the relationship between hawaii and the us. yeah, that's comes out of the times like this us, the us military is facing a recruitment crisis over the past year. its only been able to recruit $45000.00 soldiers that's way below the minimum annual target of $60000.00. a recent poll shows that confidence in the ministry is at its lowest point in a quarter of a century. my kind of reports from washington dc. cus, always prided itself as having the world's most formidable military machine, a standing force of nearly half a 1000000, many stations on bases and fall from parts of the globe. do solemnly swear or affirm these only swear. so what now recruitment is that its lowest level since the drops of water 50 years ago, and how does hit the army?
7:22 am
if we don't turn our recruiting situation around, i can't guarantee you that the army won't have to make some more substantial potential for structural reductions. because we, we've got to make sure that our units, for example, that are on the immediate response force are mand adequately. so that they're ready to go. the secretary herself, appears and commercials aimed at increasing recruitment. they appear to have little impact in the market that's being fresh mentored by increasing political divide and bi partisan and good that threatens to politicize the military itself. many republicans accused the military up in the phrase being woke, pointing to the renaming of basis, named up the confederates civil war leaders. and in particular, the recent pentagon decision to pay for enlisted personnel to travel out of those states that have band abortion. some democrats and to and point to the
7:23 am
proportionately large number of veterans and even soothing personnel who took part in the attack on the capital in january 2021. so i think the biggest challenge about the presence of domestic valid extremism in the military isn't necessarily the numbers because the numbers are small, but it's that it goes counter to the oath of service. and so americans see that as a real tension point when it comes to entrusting the military as an organization. compounding the recruitment problem, 25 percent of those who want to enlist do not meet the required physical for academic standards. the military has started what it calls a, a future soldier prep costs to address this issue. elite units have been largely unaffected as long waiting lists of qualified personnel to joined special operations units in every branch. but it's not the exposure to keep the military machine running. it's the cook's the drive is the maintenance team's. the ones who

7:25 am
high of 21.3 percent in june. and already we've seen very angry home. and so social media responding to this thing, that's the big, it must be so terrible. and this is one of them. it is not releasing this going forward. now what the government has done so far, just before this doctor was released, we sold caught on a key interest rate by 15 basis points to 2.5 percent by the central bank. and also the government pledge that it would work to stabilize unemployment and also reduce risk and property sector by optimizing policies. but so far that so very vague. those details have been released. the last month staging did a release. some targeted measures bursting from appliance and also sales, and also pledging support for the private sector. as of yet, we have not seen any major economic stimulus come from the chinese government. and we are seeing many people demanding this. katrina you, alba, 0 staging. at least $27.00 people have died in an explosion at

7:29 am
school says the routing will be a calculus to take climate change sequences to all the court decision requires montana to do is to consider climate change in making its energy policy. so it doesn't require them to actually change those policies. but i think the greater significance of the ruling is that is held that the environmental rights prevention of the state constitution had reinforced. there are about a $150.00 countries in the world that have the environmental rights provisions and their constitutions. and this decision is going to be cited in many cases, going forward of this case will go up to the montana supreme court, since it's only on state issues that can't go to the supreme court of many and many other countries. we've seen that the higher courts have been rather sympathetic to the climate case as the us supreme court these days. not too much. so suppose things now when a big football transferred thing is happening in saudi arabia. oh,
