a roadmap that could lead to a cease fire, a sudan, and the forming of a caretaker government. and the u. s. president joe biden says he will visit the devastated island of maui, but he doesn't want to get in way of the recovery efforts. the donald trump has been indicted for the 4th time prosecutors in georgia. i accuse the former us president and his associates, a racketeering. they say those listed in the indictment conspired to overturn the results of the 2020 election from causative, which on t says hill, release the report what he described as georgia election fraud on august the 21st. what i'll do here is john henderson has more reliance. donald trump is doubling. i
1:02 am
don't have to the source indictment here in the state of georgia. the former president says that he will show irrefutably on monday, at his resort in betterments through that there was fraud in the georgia election. that is this point, the fact that for 3 years, he and his partisans have been unable to prove that fact. and that his efforts to make that case have led to as indictment in what is alleged here in atlanta. to have been a conspiracy by at least 19 people, including trump, to overturn the georgia election. rudolph giuliani was also a co defendant to call the indictment and a front to democracy. but the republican governor of georgia has said that is not the case at the election was legally decided that trump has been falsely making claims in brian camp says the state of georgia will continue to have on his selections as long as he is governor. but this points out president trump strategy,
1:03 am
he seems to be suggesting that what he will say is he wasn't orchestrating and legal scheme. he believed the election was wrongly decided and that he was simply, honestly speaking out about it, that's going to be a challenging court because a number of lawyers inside and outside the white house told him that was not the case to be watched the election. and that he didn't have a case to make, and he's accused of a number of things beyond just making false statements is accused of signing false documents. he's accused of orchestrating a campaign where a slate of false electors. these are people who are elected by the voters. and then choose the president i use accused of trying to substitute false electors in order to overturn the vote in the state of georgia. so it will be a difficult case, but trump seems to be saying, hey, i was in c or all john henry and l g 0, atlanta. well, earlier my colleague elizabeth brown, i'm spoke to clara finkelstein, she's the faculty director at the center for ethics and the rule of law. and she
1:04 am
began by asking her how the prosecutor presented her case against donald trump. the funding will assist in effect saying that this was a mass of attempt to engage in and distortion of an a falsification of the georgia elections that involved to many, many people that it was planned over a period of time that it has many different moving parts to it, and that you can't see it as a solo crime. and that's very different, quite a contrast from the of each that jack smith took on the federal level. though many of the same defendants are involved in the jack smith statement as an indicted co conspirators. okay. and finally, will, will, as has said, that the right she likes to use this racketeering action because it connects so
1:05 am
many don't send that. she said that ju is like in summation, but cannot work against the prosecution because it can be so long and complicated. that's right. 6, dream lee complex, again, just the opposite of the other federal indictment and it will take a very, very long time to prosecute that will be norm. this number of witnesses. it's a gamble, one advantage. so it's with so many defendants in there. those defenders may start to turn and i think she's likely banking on that. so one could well imagine someone like john eastman, for example, the professor who is the really the architect of the full attack on the january 6th certification of the vote. and who came up with a plan for attacking the certification on that date. which one could imagine him
1:06 am
saying, you know what, i'm going to take a plea here in exchange for providing evidence against donald trump and that a number of the defendants might start to look at. so i think she's taking a gamble that some of that will start to happen a little turning to haiti now. the chief of the united nation says, an armed multinational force should be sent to haiti to restore law and order antonio. because harris has urge the security council to quote act. now he says, the situation isn't right to try only peace keeping gang violets a spiral since the assassination of the president in 2021. well, i'll just here as christmas, salumi has more from the united nations. the secretary general has been calling for the creation of a non un police force to help get gang violence under control and haiti since last october. in this latest report, seen biologist era,
1:07 am
he lays out what steps are necessary to make that happen. first and foremost, he wants the support of the security council welcoming this international force, which he says must have military capabilities and the ability to take robust action . second, the un would need to provide some form of logistical support to this international police force that could come either. he says through expanding the political mission in haiti, they are now or by creating a new one. this with help with everything from or could help with everything from providing food or medical services to the troops there. but given how serious the situation is in haiti with gags now controlling most of the capital, according to the un, i asked the secretary general spokes person, how long it will take to get this force up and running. how long it takes is up to those. to those members states who are willing to step forward who have the
1:08 am
capacity to step forward and we know a number of them have expressed a have expressed interest to participated to support. we hope those uh those efforts move as quickly as possible. in the meantime, we know very well with the, the horrendous security situation is on the ground in haiti, and the horrendous humanitarian situation as well as a result that keeps getting worse as a result of the deteriorating security situation. can you all has offered to lead this mission and send 1000 police officers to haiti? they're expected to send a delegation of the near future to the country to work out the details of that jamaica and the bahamas have also pledged their support. key support or from other caribbean nations for haiti. all of this is expected to be discussed by the security council before the end of the month was a possible resolution to start setting things in motion. kristen salumi, algebra,

and the army has accused the recess of not abiding by the declaration of humanitarian principles, which the 2 sides find in the side the city of tent, the inmate which clearly sweep stipulated that the recept should withdrawn from civilian homes and service facilities such as the what the plants on power plants. this has led to a distrust between the 2 sides. and it's not clear if those 2 sites will once again return to negotiating table anytime soon. meanwhile, the civilian casualties and the civilians that are impacted by the conflict, the number of those civilians continued to rise. the united nations says that more than 4000 people have been killed since the thought of the conflict and over a 1000000 have been displaced outside the country with maybe 3 and a half 1000000 displays. many people say they don't know when to swear with and but with the words of the vice president and his estates of the nation address, it seems that they are efforts ongoing to try to bring this conflict to an end table more going onto their own hot soon as well,

1:25 am
but it's really hard to imagine that in this dark vastness, 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 and it was just a few months ago that the skeleton was found still was some clothes on. many lumpy do is uh 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 does a piece of wood entangled, and then met the from a magazine she protects. as 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 leave that bites of drift. we work at night and it's easy to collide with these but also on let's get
