police in major us cities are preparing for potential unrest in case ex—president donald trump is arrested this week as part of a hush—money inquiry. authorities in washington dc, new york and los angeles are ramping up their law enforcement presence. a manhattan prosecutor may charge mr trump over claims that he paid a porn star to keep quiet about the affair they allegedly had. david willis — our north americ correspondent — has more details. donald trump raised the possibility of being criminally charged today and law official have been placed on high alert in washington, dc and in new york but they may have all gotten ahead of themselves somewhat because even though the grand jury which has been looking into allegations against donald trump is completing or has completed its enquiries, cable news networks here report that if there is to

be a court appearance it will not be until next week at the earliest and cbs news, our partner network here in the united states, say there will be no indictment today, tuesday. as for the form it would take, donald trump will be the first former president in american history to face criminal charges but the procedure will probably be quite similar to that of a normal defendant in the sense that prosecutors would arrange with his lawyers a suitable time and date for him to be brought to court to be surrendered for his finger prints to be taken and for him to be photographed and for him to be photographed and for him to be photographed and for him to be released on bail pending an appearance in court. as for what the manhattan district attorney is possibly going to charge donald trump with, we don't know. what we do know is that he has been investigating claims related to so—called hush money payments to the porn star stormy manuals made before the 2017 presidential election,

allegedly to buy her silence and it is thought that he is pursuing perhaps allegations that they could have been in conflict with so—called election campaign finance laws. mr trump is election campaign finance laws. mrtrump is under election campaign finance laws. mr trump is under investigation in otherjurisdictions for other alleged crimes, all of which are potentially more serious than this one but he and his allies in the republican party have taken aim on social media with the manhattan district attorney, alvin bragg, calling him a politically motivated prosecutor mr trump is called on his supporters to protest. hence the new york police department will have officers fanned out of crown courthouse in manhattan later todayjust in manhattan later today just in manhattan later todayjust in case there is any sign of trouble. but it does appear that mr trump himself will not be present. a bbc investigation into the trend of travelling to turkey for extreme weight loss surgery has found that women who are not overweight are being accepted for treatment.

into a currently alcohol free i—to—i normal beer with the help of normal water. it tastes like a pilsener. and later, it will taste like a schwarzer abt, like a bock beer. we want to make virtually everything in powderform. we want the complete beer taste but we want to add the carbon dioxide in powderform and the alcohol in powder form and of course it's absolutely fascinating that we have succeeded for the first time worldwide. stefan says it will be very easy for breweries to add the powder beer to water at bottle plants and points out that they will not only make huge savings on beer export transport cost, it will massively reduce the industry's carbon footprint. translation: we have calculated that in regards to germany - it can reduce co2 emissions by 3%—5% and looking globally that will be about half the co2

emissions on the planet. of course it is not much at first but worldwide it is a gigantic amount. stefan has been researching powder beer for the last two years and he is confident it will be market ready by the end of this year, providing it passes all the necessary tests. if it does, perhaps we will see powder versions of other drinks like vodka, gin and whiskey in the future too. but the biggest test will be convincing the beer and spirit aficionados. wendy urquhart, bbc news. you could argue that that is a business news story and we have a lot more of that to come on the programme, in particular we will bring you up to speed on what is happening in regards to the banking sector. it has been

extremely volatile and a wobbly few days after the rescue of credit suisse. markets in asia are up currently and we will tell you all you need to know next. hello. well, it's been a pretty grey and damp start to the new working week. many of us have already seen some outbreaks of rain. these are the rather moody skies that we had during the day in argyll and bute. now, so far this month, we've already seen more rainfall than average in a number of places. aldergrove is west of belfast and here we've had about one and a half times as much rain as we see in an average march, but there is more rain on the cards as well. you see, the satellite picture shows the band of rain that we had on monday. but out in the atlantic, we've got several more areas of rain bearing cloud set to move in. and so this week we are going to see rainfall totals really pile up, particularly across western areas. you can see the largest totals over our western hills, whereas in the east you get something of a shelter effect. so the rain won't be quite as heavy for those eastern areas.

now, over the next few hours, we do have some fairly heavy bursts of rain to come through and there'll be some low cloud around a bit of mist and fog around our western coast and hills. but it's a mild start to the day tuesday, temperatures nine or ten degrees, rain start the day across eastern england, probably north—east scotland. that clears away what will follow is a day of bright spells, a bit of sunshine and some heavy showers and thunderstorms. we then see another area of rain move into northern ireland as we go through the course of the afternoon. now it's going to be another mild day, temperatures 14, 15 degrees celsius. as we go from tuesday into wednesday, actually the isobars pinch together. and so it's going to be a windier day on wednesday. again, overnight rain tending to clear through a day of sunshine and heavy thundery showers. this time, some of the showers could even have some hail mixed in. some of the showers in the west may merge together to give some longer spells of rain. it's going to be blustery gusts of wind, 40, even 50—odd

miles an hour in places. but it is still, however, pretty mild with temperatures again reaching around 14 degrees in the mildest spots. for thursday we're looking at more rain as well. still quite a blustery day, the potentialfor some heavier rain to work in perhaps to parts of south—east england during the day. but away from that, the showers could merge together again to give some longer spells of rain at times. temperatures still up to about 14 degrees. and really through friday and the weekend, there's no change in the weather pattern. it stays unsettled with more rain at times. that's the latest. a changing point for the beer industry and the planet.
