1:03 am
and the point is cut off, people that we see in the i'm, it is a good news off. what is your address and surgeons for several reasons. the 1st one is that a military leadership are busy trying to request somebody, get the power in the army, and perhaps to apply to any posts in test or in a bunch. and i've talked to buy it for us forces. just like in molly and brick in a fight. so it's just cool nita's side, the details of your reaching security as a reason for over throwing president mohammed bustle, but the speed of attacks and their failure to contain them. also raising questions about their ability to do something different and sustain public support for their cool. how many degrees i would just do that because they're not nigeria, the mean time the deteriorating security situation in neighboring molly has been highlighted by the us state department spokesman said is deeply concerned by the

threat of worsening violence in the west african country. well, my canada is in washington with the latest real estate department is issued a statement expressing its concern about the worsening violence in molly, at points in particular to via text. so new and peace keepers who are busy withdrawing from the country following an order by the military government. now that military government took over paula in a cou a few years ago. and since then they basically turned against form the western partners like france and the u. s and have moved towards the russian. brett groups like the wagner group suddenly a month ago, the us state department issued sanctions again, some of the molly governments, members because of the links with that. wagner group now to the us, already experiencing the full out of a similar to in nature, having seen one in the neighboring but keen a fast so, and of course as neighboring. molly is great concern about any instability in the
1:05 am
region. given that nisha was the us of last standing ally until that who happened recently. so for the us, this a major threat to national security, not least the use of a loss of at strategic allies in the region, but also the rise in on to minutes instead of these as this chaos increases, posting such as heights. so the forces linked to all kind of gaining rate to the ability and this is something that the us sees as a threat not only to the regions but also to the us itself. mike cannot alters era washington to send a gal residents. a fast boy has been protesting, after at least 60 migrants from their village or fear to have died at sea. their believe to have been on their way to europe. dozens for rescued for a fishing boat found a drift off the west coast of africa, and survivor,

1:07 am
dead bodies on board, the boat and thousands more of the people who thought to be on board. missing the red, thousands of ship rex every as people try to traverse this route on hundreds of desks . okay, that is seen as a gateway to the spanish canary island. spain is part of the european union. so people see this as a possible route to a better and safer life. malcolm web al jazeera, fast boy center go as well to be not as states for prosecutors in the state of georgia, have proposed a trial date in march for the election interference case against former us president donald trump. now he and 18 of his associates have been charged for racketeering and voter fraud in the us state of georgia. well, i was just there, as john hadron is following developments for us from atlanta in the fulton county
1:08 am
district attorney has requested a trial day for donald trump in 18 co defendants. funny willis once march, 4th to be the date that trial starts. that's important because it's in the middle of a crowded legal calendar for donald trump. he has a number of criminal and civil cases that start from october of 2023 to may of 2024. that means it least some of those cases are likely to extend through the november 2024 presidential election where he is currently the leading republican candidate team. trump is also requested that his case in georgia be moved to the federal court that would accomplish a number of things for one. probably a more sympathetic jury pool. atlanta is a very democratic town in a large room divided states. so they would be more likely to find people in a federal trial drawn from the state. schools will be more sympathetic to trump. also, if trump were to be elected or have an ally when the presidency back president is
1:09 am
able to pardon federal charges but not state charges, it would also serve the purpose of delaying the trial. because donald trump very much would like these trials to be resolved. after the 2024 election, john henry l g 0, atlanta. okay, we're going to dive a little deeper into the story. frank baldwin is a professor. m morales, meredith rather at the university of missouri school of law and a former federal and state prosecutor. he's joining us from colorado. all right. we've got a date now. march 2024. i thought we were looking for a swift trial here at least that's what we were told. now we're hearing his date of march of 2024. what happened to the swift trial? well, march of 24, which, which by the way, i think is extremely unlikely time for the georgia case to go forward with the remarkably early trial date for cash. at this complexity, remember that mr. trump discharged along with 18 co defendants,
1:10 am
and each of them is gonna have to get his or her own lawyer. now, there are going to be a plentitude of pre trial motions, discovery issues, motions to sever motions to dismiss motion to transfer venue, and so forth. and so on a case of this complexity, if it were to go to trial, in march of 2024 would be something of a legal miracles. indeed, i think it's extraordinarily unlikely that it will go forward in march of 2024 or anything like it. largely because not in addition to the complexity of the georgia case, it is competing, of course, from just to trump's time with 3 other cases and 3 other jurisdictions of brain. see if i can jump in there for a 2nd. that really brings me to my next sort of question. you're really speaking to that is the prosecutor had said that she, she wanted the swift trial. but how can you even have a switch for how you've got what does it 19 defendants. that seems literally impossible. and you even said yourself that it would be
1:11 am
a legal miracle. well, a swift trial is, is relative. what would be in sort of ordinary trial day for a case of this complexity for kids to like this to be indicted in, in august and to go forward in march of next year. it's not inconceivable. but given all the complexity of these kinds of things tend to take a very long time. so swift is relative in the legal terms. now, in terms of these large number of co defendants, what does this say about this case? the fact that it is so broad and some of the other cases has been tailored so narrowly. and it just indicates that the local prosecutor in georgia has decided to take a, a different approach. the somewhat analogous or quite analogous case in federal court is,
1:12 am
is brought in washington dc with defense. and donald trump is the only name named actual defend with elders as on name, co conspirators. and presumably the point there is to streamline that case to try to get to trial with reasonable speed and also to get the trial thought it was reasonable speed. and this particular case in georgia, the prosecutor was taking a wider view. she essentially seems to be saying, or donald trump, certainly at the head of this rico enterprise, the chief charge. but that a great many other people are also responsible and she's determined that they're going to be brought to justice as well. one should also add about the fact that all these other people are actually named as defendants places a considerable amount of pressure on them to play you to potentially cooperate against mr. trump and others. is further concerned though, the fact that this will be ultimately playing out so close to the us selection. is there a concern about election interference given the fact that this will be running
1:13 am
concurrently? well, i think the election interference canard is really simply a you know, something of mr. trump and his supporters of raised the election interference that's involved in, in this case. so now in washington dc was the interference of mr. trump, that has carpet stairs attempting to return the results of a legitimate election of that. but that point with respect to mr. trump circumstance as a, as a candidate. who is that right now? donald trump is nothing more than a private citizen. who was the president wants? he wants to be the president again. right now is just a guy is a guy has been charged with a whole bunch of criminal offenses on his status as a potential mom. and he of a major party, the presidency gives him no special rights in the courts of this country. and how do you see this playing out in terms of the fact that the president, former president rather continues to fund raise off of each of these indictments?
1:14 am
well, he doesn't, there's 2 events, some report issues that each new indictment brings him on another influx of money. i mean that's not something anybody can prevent it's, i think it's a sad commentary on the stage of the republican elect, right. know that they think it's appropriate to give money to a guy who has been charged with so many crimes, but as not something anybody can stop, i'll be at. it also seems that he is a fundraising efforts. are running up against certain limitations. he's run out of money. right? and these, as we know, are very expensive cases to fight as well as prosecute in here, nighted states, frank valley, we really appreciate you lending your expertise. thank you so much for joining us here on al jazeera. kimberly to all right,
1:15 am
stay in the united states. we're going to turn to the wildfires in the us state of hawaii that broke down an entire coastal town. all right, the number now at a 106 in terms of the people that are reported to have died. you as president joe biden says he will travel to the island of maui on monday, after criticism he still hasn't visited the scene. now, teams are sifting through the rubble, searching for human remains within a 1000, people are still missing. nbc correspondent jay gray has more for us from the hawaiian island of maui. we're outside of a shelter and donation center and, and for many of the survivors. these types of areas are all they have and it's all they have left of their life, their homes, everything they've had, everything they've known stolen by these wild fires that left behind. so much uncertainty, an overwhelming pain with their last look the fires for the most part they're out.
1:16 am
now the areas where there are still flames are fully contained. still, the tragedy is growing. like we talk about the main road and to the height of the historic town that was just left in ruins by these fires is open. now though, the primary section of that town is still locked down, while those recovery teams continue their grizzly task. we know there is a growing concerned about the weather. you can probably see from our picture the wind has picked up significantly. here today, there are 2 storm systems. they're not going to threaten making land fall here. but just like the hurricane door that push these wild fires with winds up to at tons, 80 miles an hour. these 2 systems are expected to come by close enough to again, cause a strong wind to pick up and rain is in the forecast over the weekends or government officials that heavy st more than 3000 people have flood gang violence in the
