former lawyer and a former white house chief of staff, john henry, and has the story from the state capital atlanta. as for the 4th time, a grand jury has indicted former president, donald trump, for alleged crimes against the country he governs. leading the series of indictments against trump and others, racketeering. a charge that usually targets organized crime rings, in this case for an alleged conspiracy to steal the states presidential election. the indictment alleges that rather than by abide by georgia legal process for election challenges, the defendants engaged in a criminal record ceiling enterprise to overturn georgia's presidential election results also indicted, 18 others including former white house chief of staff, mark meadows, trump lawyer, rudolph giuliani, former justice department official, jeffery clark and former
11:03 am
a. john eastman, the alleged conspiracy included a series of phone calls in which trump pressure georgia officials to overturn jo biden's presidential election victory in the state. including this notorious called the secretary of state brad reference berger. i just want to find the $11780.00 routes, which is one more that we have because we want to say that alleged conspiracy also included false accusations and harassment of election workers including ruby freeman, who said she had to go into hiding after trump, fans invaded her grandmother's home to make what they called. the citizens arrest. also contained false allegations for ballot for on. and this was an election that we want to easily. we want to buy a lot. village plot also contained a sick elect to scheme, in which trump back directors tried to form a false slate of electors who sought to flip the state of georgia for trump after
11:04 am
his loss. and it involved in extraordinary data breach in great coffee county, were trump partisans were called in. this stands, i would say in a fruitless search for massive fraud. georgia was just one of several states trunk would have needed to win to win the 2020 election with georgia was a special case. it tended to lean republican and he lost by a small margin. a margin he asked georgia state republicans to make up to overturn his loss there. the trump campaign issued a link, the statement stating in part they could have brought this 2 and a half years ago. and they chose to do this for election interference reasons. in the middle of president trump's successful campaign, the indictment is the 4th and has many months drug faces date charges in new york for a hush money payment to silence a porn star ahead of the 2016 electric and 2 federal indictments in florida for mishandling classified documents and in washington for his efforts to overturn the
11:05 am
2020 election. unlike the federal charges, if proved that georgia state charges cannot be pardoned by the next president, john henry l. g 0. it later brendon o'connor is a professor of american politics at the university of sydney. brendan, you are joining us from australia. locate would be easy to lose counts at this stage of trump indictments. but we can't lose track of the fact that this is completely unprecedented. put that in context for us, please. as well. democracy relies upon loses of elections, presidential candidates excepting the result. you can't say you for democracy only when you, when and donald trump was clearly in breach of the american constitution. it was embrace with the basic principle of the american electron system of democracy. that if you do not win the electoral college, you did not win the election and he clearly lost the state of georgia. the is just overwhelming evidence that he lost by a recently significant margin and he wished to sure,
11:06 am
a conspiracy. this is what the charges are about to die. he wished to over 10. what was the will of the paper when in any serious democracy that should lead to serious investigation? and these charges are things are entirely justified. as a result, donald trump and his campaign or fundraising off of these indictments every time there are new criminal indictments. his campaign raises more money. is it fair to say at this stage, this is actually helping fueling his campaign. at least the primary run. we'll get to the general election later. right? yeah, i think the basic point as make is the right thing to do to charge trump no matter what the outcome. i think that to sweep this under the competence i looked at so political the timing's not right. he has to be charge. maybe it would have been preferable if these charges were earlier in 2021 or 2022. but a lot of evidence has been gathered to prevent type chase and many regard. a major
11:07 am
case, a kind of a criminal conspiracy rate because of all, quite sort of ironic please. something rudy giuliani when he was mirror you'll develop some criminal syndicates in new york city sides. the election results of this uh yeah. to be determined that truly is incredible. public secret trump because he will play on the since the victim board is always played on the r d. ready that sort of white men in america or the one some of the most discriminated against people, probably not the truthful but truthfully the case and the majority of instances, but he's very much played on himself as a victim, as a master. and this will help with that, but it is still the right thing to do to charge him for this criminal conspiracy because he is trying to bribe and intimidate election officials. he's trying to come up with uh, follow select those, all sorts of things which i found them into the where the undermine america is a democratic society. so about that last point you make brendan, in this particular case, we've all heard that phone call of this. you know,
11:08 am
you don't need to be in a cute legal mind to understand what's going on here. is that phone call between trumping and election official in georgia, where he asks him to quote unquote, fine. those are his words, find $11000.00 plus votes. and that does not appear, at least in the primary rent, to be earning. you know, i mean, i think people have factored in the scene. so believing trump will not really care . and as i said before, the democracy is a good idea when you, when, but when you lose. so i think from, you know, this would be a problem with the jurors that there will be people who believe or want to believe . what trumps defense change. sorry that there's basically they've chosen to obtain . and donald trump is the chain no matter what the evidence side. this immunity to something like getting in at the type is it would be called a smoking gun and by stuff label political correction scandals. but we have to factor in, as we did with co read the, you know,
11:09 am
there are people in the face of enormous evidence with global warming. it will just say no. the opposite is true because my side says the opposite is true. and so therefore, from, you know, is, is very much in a position to the, to look to politicize those, to politicize the jury. and with this case will in fact, you know, a chair and 6 months whether ok before the next election. i mean that i suppose is my biggest concern, even though state cases copy easily dismissed by a president. uh, they'll be a lot of things if trump is elected president, it's one of them to office in january 20 and 2025 to be up to do to ensure that he doesn't come to trap. brendan o'connor, professor of american politics at the university of sydney. thank you for joining us today. my pleasure. the

11:20 am
it is just before sunset that they set off brothers nicola antello general mean neil embarking on a nightly fishing trip, but they need to be mindful that they could be others out there at large. yeah, let me look when we see a boat, we read you the coast guards and then pass the coordinates. if we see that is going to slow for a bunch of sync, we stay, we can just give them if they're sinking, we transport them. but we always need to get authorization. first. taking on board migrants even in distress, is illegal. the boat sales south of lumpy do the this is the same route, migraine steak when they set off from the shores of tunisia. so the crew needs to be on alert because in the dark, small vessels could go unnoticed. there's a breeze. the sea is called perfect weather conditions was saying, but it's really hard to imagine that in this dark vastness,
11:21 am
there are people crammed in boats with no navigation system trying to reach italy and not knowing if they will ever make it on board. there's always a little apprehension as the group pulls out there next. it was just a few months ago that the skeleton was found still was some clothes on. many lumpy dues that refer to the mediterranean as the liquid graveyard. about 2000 people have lost their lives here so far this year. the 1st gach is modest. the 2nd one is better, but there's a piece of wood in tangled a minute that i bought from a magazine shipwrecked says nicola, he recognized it from the type of wood. it's a part of the house. of course, it's difficult. it's dangerous because they will start to save their lives and lead that bytes a drip. we work at night and it's easy to collide with these, but also on that's get damaged by the ones at the bottom of the seat. the by 4 am the rather signal the boat,
11:22 am
a few 100 meters to our right. but there's no light. the crew is sure it's a magazine boat, but they don't change of direction that we need to found out that it could have been this one that was adrift along the same coordinates, the talent, what the defense that had reached the water was to begin a disaster narrowly averted, full risk use happens throughout the night. as the sun rises, the summer colors emerge again to risk get ready for another day in the sunshine. unbeknownst to them, 350 people rescue that night were making their way to the port. while hundreds of others were being relocated elsewhere under mainland, for that then how many jersey are lumped into the gun battles and being forth in an around libya, as capital. after the detention of a commander of whose forces control much of tripoli moment holmes was report to be captured by arrival faction of the cities,

11:24 am
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 about 30 people died and over a 100 injured. so people are extremely afraid of. we've seen that the schools are, are now calling for, for, for them to, to be suspended for tomorrow, 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 as fire investigators in southern russia or trying to establish the cause of an explosion at a petrol station. at least 27 people were killed in bag of stan. children or among dozens have been injured. some of the critically wounded are being flown to moscow for emergency treatment. this fire started at a car repair shop in the regional capital and spread to the federal station. next
