5:03 am
off the coast of northwest in africa. nearly 600 people died while making the crossing last year. this license, the teams, ended off cape via day. and with 15 ship breaks already recorded on the road this year. it's unlikely that it will be long before more lives are lost in the stretch of ocean. at like speed, which is here. most of the dead are believed to be from the village of fast boy in the sun, a gout area. malcolm webb is there and has more the people in the small coastal village, a fast boy angry that thousands of people who in that community have died at see the price as to zip code would and from machinery into the road and set it to life . this is the 1st of several butting road blocks along this road, leading the way down to the landing stage on the atlantic ocean when more than a month ago, a small wooden boat set sail with about
5:04 am
a 100 people on board with about 2 days ago when that boat was spotted by a spanish fishing vessel, a drift about 300 kilometers of the island of south part of the cape verde islands . that prompted a rescue operation by cape veggies coast guard, which is about 600 kilometers on into the atlantic ocean. from here, because cold says that they rescued about 40 survivors, they said they found several dead bodies on board the boat and thousands more of the people who thought to be on board. missing the dozens of ship rex, every as people try to traverse this route. and 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 safe a life. malcolm web al jazeera, fast boy san diego, the
5:05 am
to the united states where georgia's fulton county district attorney has requested a trial date of march. the 4th for former us president donald trump, an 18 village co conspirators. they are being charged with racketeering and an organized effort to overturn the results of the 2020 us presidential election. i'll do 0, john 100 reports when fulton, county district attorney funding will as indicted. former you as president donald trump and his co defendants. this week, she included a rare and powerful charge the indictments said their alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results violated rico the racket to your influence and corrupt organizations act. this is the 11th rico indictment. we follow the same process. we look at the facts, we looked at the law and we bring charges. the indictment says the defendants
5:06 am
conspired and endeavored to conduct and participate in a criminal enterprises in fulton, county, georgia, and elsewhere. trump co, defendant, rudy giuliani, made a name for himself as a federal prosecutor going after. my boss is in new york city in the 1980s. now it is giuliani and faces a rico charge. the rico statute is a way of incorporating a number of defendants and a number of seemingly different crimes into the same town of an indictment so that you can prosecute the entire scheme as opposed to individual defendants or individual charges and separate indictments. giuliani calls the charge in a front to american democracy. critics call it poetic justice. a law created the target gangsters is now being used to prosecute a wide array of people who allegedly commit crimes together from teachers to politicians. and perhaps the most aggressive rico prosecutor in the nation is the one charging julie on e and trump and george, the fulton county district attorney funding willis wheeler sees used rico before and 2009 to prosecute atlanta school managers who systematically cheated to improve
5:07 am
student scores on standardized test. now she's taking on trump and 18 a ledge. co conspirators. these 19 people didn't have to sit down in a conference room and all decide, hey, let's over through the government. you know, they allegedly but, but anyhow, they don't have to all agree to the same conspiracy. you can have tacit agreements . and what that means is that you're moving with the conspiracy without actually having a formal agreement. the wreckage here in charge is a center piece of willis case. the 160 acts in the ledge. conspiracy take up 58 pages of a 98 page indictment. now a jury will decide whether trump conspired like a month boss to overturn the 2020 election john henry and l u 0, atlanta. now if you're trying to keep track, donald trump will be tried on 4 different sets of indictments next year during his campaign for the presidency. so here we go. as we mentioned prosecutor's new,
5:08 am
a state of georgia want to start their trial in march. the 4th, he and his aides are accused. a racketeering conspiracy. witness tampering and forgery. that's just one day before super tuesday. 114 stays hold their primary elections. trump is already due to stand trial on march 25th. so in new york, where he's also accused of falsified business records and connection to a ledge, hash money paid to adult film actress stormy daniels, then in may, he is also facing federal charges of legally hoarding classified documents at his mara lago state. and that's not all special council jack smith is also seeking a january 2nd start for the federal case accusing trump of trying to stop congress from certifying the results of the 2020 election. it's an awful lot. so we have frank bowman, a professor of meredith at the university of missouri law school, and a former federal state prosecutor to help us understand all of this. we spoke to him
5:09 am
earlier and he does expect the trial in georgia to get underway anytime soon. i the march of 20 before 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 a case of this complexity. remember that mr. trump discharged along with 18 co defendants. each of them is going to have to get his or her own lawyer. now there are gonna be a plentitude, a 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 miracle. 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, you do is competing of course, from mr. trump's time with 3 other cases and 3 other jurisdictions and all of the
5:10 am
judges and all of your sections will be talking for each other. what would be in sort of ordinary trial date for 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, these kinds of things tend to take a very long time. so swift is relative an illegal terms. okay, turning to that wildfire in hawaii, officials in the valley have named the 1st victims of the devastating wildfires that level the town of the high. now at least a 110 people are confirmed dead, but that number is expected to rise in the coming days. can on teams from other states arrived to help the task force search for even more victims. because more than a 1000 people are still missing. nbc correspond to j. grey has more finale. so
5:11 am
there's a lot of frustration about how all of this unfolding and how it continues to move forward. but as far as the private side of business and the non profits, they have jumped in with both feet and, and are working hard for many of these families. who have lost every thing. this is all they have, they lost their homes, they lost everything they had, they've lost everything they know and the fires dealing all of that and, and simply leaving behind so much on certain the and of course that over whelming pain from loss. what i can also tell you is the main road way in to look. i know the area that was hardest hit. it's been opened up at this point though, the town itself or the story town, that ravaged by these planes is still for the most part, locked down, but at least people can get in and get a better idea though there's very little salvage at this point. recovery teams pouring in from around not only the states,
5:12 am
but the world to try and help them with a den of finding uh, what are mostly unfortunately, remains at this point. uh, already more than a 100 and then a 5. and we still know that nearly a 1000 or so or missing what we've been told by the governor here. and why is that this is going to be a very difficult and very slow process. he's urging that the people here remain calm and patient to allow this to play out. is they've only been through about old 30 percent or so of the burned out areas on this island. so they've still got 70 percent to, to clear here to canada is biggest city in the northwest territories, faces an emergency situation. as a large wildfire makes its way towards the city of yellow knife authorities of declared and evacuation alert, but thousands of residents in the local area has already been forced to leave their homes. the federal government has approved assistance and ordered the military to
5:13 am
help fire fighting efforts. canada is going through its worst ever wildfire season with more than a 1000 active fires burning across the country. well, the new car off when government has seized a prominent university from the catholic order of priest, the jesuits, the university of central america, suspended all its activities after a court order confiscated its assets and funds of the government is accusing it of being a quote center of terrorism, a charge projected by the jesuits. the daniel ortega, le government has targeted the roman catholic church and opposition figures with a series of expulsions closures and confiscations. a thousands have fled into exile, says nicaragua and security forces violently put down mass anti government protest in 2018. many were fact taken from prison, their force toward a flight to the united states and february 9th cleaning 7 presidential hopefuls
5:14 am
barred from running lawyers at rights activists and even journalists then in april, the vatican, close to the embassy in nicaragua. and the government proposed suspending diplomatic relations. then in may, the government ordered the nicaraguan red cross to shut down accuse me to put a tax on peace and stability during the 2018 protests. now the red cross says it helped to treat injured protesters for more on this cindy red doors. a reporter with the confidentiality, nissan altima and investigative news outlet based in exile in neighbor, in costa rica. and she joins us live from the capital san jose. so trying to put this into context for why you see or take a government cracking down on civic groups like this is going on for a while now and to what and what is the goal here? a whole, some people are saying that this is an act of revenge because the students
5:15 am
from this university and other universities in 2018, so to the streets, to protest against the data. and um, so as you said before, they are now pointing out that the government deal stories at the university had to do with these situations. when in reality, what happened was that the students and the citizens that were protesting against the government were using the campus at the sign of refuge when they were being attacked by police forces. and some other people are saying that this is also a means of control. and the government has confiscated already 27 private universities. and now these universities are under its control. and what they are doing already with these universities and the students is that they are basically induct induction meeting and they are controlled by these. donnelly needs the
5:16 am
further holdings, hardy. and so what people are saying is that this is an act of, i mean it's a control so that the students won't take to the street again. they won't be able to protest against the government in the future. give us a sense of just how vast this crack town has become. i mean, in terms of the number of people in exile, the number of people that are now behind bars, how many n g o is? how many civic groups have been shut down and have been expelled? and basically every sector of the citizenship that participated in the protest has been a victim of the repression. as you mentioned before, uh, political prisoners uh, from the media um presidents and host opposition leaders, human rights defenders, university students, basically every day everybody that were uh was protesting against the government.
5:17 am
the church, of course. um, and what we're seeing is that the government is sending a clear message that nobody can ever protest against them who is suffering the most as a result of this is it, is it the middle class? is it the impoverished who, who is really hurting or is it everyone in the sense of the public realm? i'm afraid everybody, including somebody needs done, loyal stand, the needs that members and even the people who work for the government. because there is also repression against them. um, and is this particular case with the university? the 27 universities that have had been taught cofton stated, we're talking about at least 50000 students from all over the country. and that is a tragedies. what um, most people are saying about how these people and this young students out who have
5:18 am
an opportunity to have an autonomy was in a quality education. all right, cindy roy, he door from confidence hell. and they cut out while we really appreciate you joining us here. and helping us understand the story. thank you. all right, well, let's take a short break, but still ahead on al jazeera swimming in the sand. athletes take the plunge in paris, part of a test event ahead of next year's olympic games stay with us. the the win typing line went across the middle of japan. it wasn't particularly damaging wind wise, but the amount of rain that fell out of a hot for me to did cause damage, for example, that

a washed away road land slide that caused some damage as well. the storm itself has gone away in open both and producing rain to the north of that is going to hit the eastern side of russia. however, it is left in its wake the potential for more big showers, which are part of the system. this time of the year, but i don't think they can be welcomed, then there's more seasonal, right. and still in southern china, affecting hong kong in particular, then it's current which lots of shouts and all of that where it's mainly drive a central and northern china south of that. and if you look at the diamond thailand, it looks fairly wet, which is correct. this time the we get pulses bit going through blaze use worse than you might like in an easier. generally speaking mostly dry. the mountains soon right into concentrating around or dish and but they're also in the hall westbank girl matcher per dash, and also bangladesh principal button. the pole has been the focus of the heavy as shows and they stretch up towards pakistan. and everywhere else, bashi being pretty much dry. the same is still true for pakistan. still some
