hello, i'm sumi somaskanda. thank you forjoining us on this historic day. donald trump spoke moments ago in bedminister, newjersey after pleading not guilty earlier today to 37 counts of criminal charges alleging he kept classified documents after he left the white house. trump doubled down on claims of a rigged investigation and defended himself to a crowd of supporters cheering him on. today we witnessed the most evil and heinous abuse of power in the history of our country, very sad thing to watch, a corrupt sitting president had his top political opponent arrested on fake and fabricated charges of which he and numerous other presidents would be guilty, right in the middle of a presidential election in which he is losing very badly.

under the presidential records act which is civil, not criminal, i had every right to have these documents. let's take a look at what happened today in miami florida. former president donald trump turned himself to a federal courthouse in downtown miami. at the courthouse he was booked and processed, giving his fingerprints, and a dna swab but not a mugshot. he was then escorted into a 13th floor courtroom just before 3pm eastern. there were dozens of reporters, and about 9 civilians who came to watch. one of trump's lawyers, todd blanche, entered a not guilty plea on trump's behalf. trump faces 37 counts of criminal charges in a grand jury indictment that alleges us government secrets were stored in a shower, bathroom, ballroom and bedroom of his mar—a—lago estate. donald trump sat between two of his lawyers, and off to the right at the same table was walt nauta, trump's personal aide, who is also facing criminal

charges related to lying to investigators and scheming with mr trump to conceal boxes. nauta will be arrainged in two weeks. the us department of justice's special counseljack smith also attended the hearing. these are the conditions for trump's release. the former president will not be required to surrender his passport, and there will be no limit on his international or domestic travel pending the outcome of his trial. trump is also barred from speaking to his co—defendant walt nauta about the facts of the case. they are permitted limited communication, the due to their working relations. the justice department will submit a list of witnesses in the case that trump will be barred from speaking to about the case. the former president's legal team objected to this special condition, but ultimately the judge decided that the list by the d0] will be accepted. live now to helena humphrey in front of the courthouse. what happens next in this case? give us an idea of what you witness there today in miami.

for an episode that will go down as a significant moment in us history, i think it's fair to say that the appearance here from donald trump was fairly short—lived. the former us president coming to this miami federal courthouse behind me, entering through the backdoor, processed and then having those 37 federal criminal charges read out to him and his attorney on his behalf entering attorney on his behalf entering a plea of not guilty. remarkable scenes outside of the courthouse. trumpet called and his supporters to come out here in florida. a couple hundred did and they were out numbering trump's detractors out here. thankfully we didn't see violence player. there have certainly been some concerns about that before we knew it, the motorcade was speeding up, donald trump returning to bedminster where we saw that address. but he did stop off as a cuban—american cafe here in

miami in little havana with a crowd of supporters and he said this was a sad day for america, a nation in decline, cheered on by supporters there. once again donald trump coming out and trying to take his legal perils and make them into a political opportunity. and make them into a political opportunity-— and make them into a political opportunity. just quickly, what ha--ens opportunity. just quickly, what happens next _ opportunity. just quickly, what happens next with _ opportunity. just quickly, what happens next with this - opportunity. just quickly, what happens next with this case? i happens next with this case? this is potentially a lengthy process. special counseljack smith promised a speedy trial which probably won't be the case, we will enter pre—trial hearings and the defence will try to find ways to find issues with the evidence because ultimately, donald trump probably wants this process to last as long as possible, opening a run for the 2024 presidential election could be one of his best tactics for defence. one of his best tactics for defence-— one of his best tactics for defence. ., ~ i. . one of his best tactics for defence. ., ~ . ., defence. thank you so much for all of your— defence. thank you so much for all of your reporting _ defence. thank you so much for all of your reporting there - all of your reporting there from the courthouse in miami, great to talk to you, helena. live now to mark zaid,

a national security lawyer. mark, thank you forjoining us. if donald trump were to be convicted on the charges we've mentioned, would he go to jail? well, he certainly is facing jail time, well, he certainly is facing jailtime, possibly well, he certainly is facing jail time, possibly over 300 or so years, but that's not realistic obviously. espionage act cases, generally, if convicted for these type of offences, get anywhere around 3- offences, get anywhere around 3— six years. there are some false statement charges, obstruction charges. realistically, pushing aside donald trump is a former president, if convicted, that individual, if it were normal, would be facing jail of around 10-20 would be facing jail of around 10—20 years but is the former president of the united states and of course, if he drags it out and he is re—elected

president, even if convicted from a federal standpoint, it can make the case go away, he would be in charge of the justice department or he can try and pardon himself which has never been constitutionally done so nobody knows actually what would happen stop that's really interesting, mark. we've been talking — really interesting, mark. we've been talking about _ really interesting, mark. we've been talking about the - really interesting, mark. we've| been talking about the timeline of this. we heard prosecutors might want to fast track this case in florida while the trump team might want to delay this as much as possible. how do you see it playing out?— see it playing out? there are certain federal— see it playing out? there are certain federal courts - see it playing out? there are certain federal courts in - see it playing out? there are certain federal courts in the l certain federal courts in the united states, one here in the eastern district of virginia where most espionage cases are brought because it is a positive location for the government. it's called the rocket docket, as is the southern district of florida which means they go very quickly. if it was a normal case, it would probably be over within 6— nine months, but it's not normal as we said, and everyone knows. this could be really dragged out. it made

sense that jack smith indicated they want a speedy trial, but this is going to be in the hands of the districtjustice who is trialjudge is incredible discretion as to the pace and also because it involves classified information, national defence information, national defence information under the espionage act. there will be many pre—trial proceedings under the classified information procedures act and that will determine who gets access and how information is presented in court. if there are adverse rulings to other side, they can immediately appeal that up to the 11th circuit which normally would not be the case in criminal cases, so there are many things that could end up delaying this case past the election in 2024.— delaying this case past the election in 2024. this is the second indictment - election in 2024. this is the second indictment of - election in 2024. this is the second indictment of the i election in 2024. this is the - second indictment of the former president, the first being in new york and he is facing other

legal troubles, and to ask you something that we heard today from the new york attorney general letitia james, and the georgia case on election interference, these are two cases where the president could possibly be in the crosshairs again, they could have to be adjourned pending the outcome of a federal case because of scheduling. what do you make of that? i scheduling. what do you make of that? ., , ., scheduling. what do you make of that? . , . , , , that? i was a little surprised b that. that? i was a little surprised by that- one _ that? i was a little surprised by that. one thing, - that? i was a little surprised by that. one thing, she - that? i was a little surprised i by that. one thing, she doesn't speak the manhattan district attorney office and the district attorney down in georgia you may decide to bring charges. the new york manhattan cases already scheduled to go to trial in march of 2024. so we will see. there is no doubt if there are multiple legal proceedings, especially in a criminal context, there will have to be co—ordination between the courts. for numerous reasons. as security

concerns with the secret service, process concerns that has to be taken into account. it will be a logistical nightmare and it's certainly possible that the state proceedings may choose to try and defer but that also could allow the president, the former president to push those cases forward. there are a lot of moving parts with all of these, and let's just face moving parts with all of these, and let'sjust face it, you are going to hear a lot of tv commentators and legal commentators and legal commentators making predictions and speculation. this is novel territory for everyone so everyone could be right and everyone could be right and everyone could be wrong at the same time. everyone could be wrong at the same time-— same time. really interesting oints same time. really interesting points there. _ same time. really interesting points there. national- same time. really interesting | points there. national security lawyer mark zaid, thank you for sharing your thoughts with others. an historic day and a complex case. you our viewers and listeners and users online are sure to have plenty of questions about what this all means. we asked listeners of our americast podcast to send us their questions.

and we have the host of americast anthony zurcher to answer some viewer questions. listeners have some questions. we are going to you. the first question is: that's a really interesting question. the 'udge was a trump i interesting question. the 'udge was a trump a i interesting question. the 'udge was a trump a pointy, _ interesting question. the judge was a trump a pointy, she's . was a trump a pointy, she's been involved in this. the trump legal defence team search to her, reviewing the documents that were taken at that search. she appointed a special master to look at all this and kept away from prosecutors so they could look what they found at mar—a—lago for a period of time until reversed by the 11th circuit court of appeals in a pretty firm ruling saying that

she had misinterpreted the law but a lot of people look at the decision and some of the moves during that initial review and say she is sympathetic to donald trump, and donald trump is lucky to get her as a judge overseeing this case, which has led some people for her to be recused. she owes herjob to donald trump. it will be interesting to see how it plays out i think donald trump was my teams have to be feeling very fortunate to have her as the one sitting in the chair as this case goes to trial. we heard attorney _ this case goes to trial. we heard attorney mark zaid she has a lot of discretion is so interesting to see how that plays out. as an interesting question, someone who used to work for donald trump is a national security adviser will answer in a americast episode coming out but it's a problem for donald

trump and a problem spelled—out in the indictment. they quoted him about five times during the 2016 campaign, talking about hillary clinton, handling classified material and how he would do better and he understands the importance of classified documents and securing classified documents in the prosecution has presented this as evidence that he should have known better so donald trump did in fact kind of put himself in a box with this and is going to have to explain why what he did is not better or worse than what hillary clinton did.- better or worse than what hillary clinton did. one last question — hillary clinton did. one last question : _ rose coloured spectacles, it sounds very british.- sounds very british. there obviously _ sounds very british. there obviously are _ sounds very british. there obviously are a _ sounds very british. there obviously are a lot - sounds very british. there obviously are a lot of - sounds very british. there i obviously are a lot of donald trump supporters who live and die by donald trump and they will not change their mind stop probably about 30% of republican primary voters and i

see them all the time when i go to rallies and i go to events. there are some republicans who are uneasy about donald trump, and worried that he may not be the best candidate. that he may not have the best chance to win. i think they don't have rose coloured spectacles, they respect donald trump. what he did as president that they are willing to look around a little bit, whether they can unite behind one candidate, that is the big question. the question indeed. thank _ the big question. the question indeed. thank you _ the big question. the question indeed. thank you so - the big question. the question indeed. thank you so much . the big question. the question j indeed. thank you so much for taking all those questions from americast listeners and thank you to the listeners for those great questions. and if you want to hear the rest of that story, be sure to catch the latest episode of americast, just head to the podcasts tab on the bbc sounds app. i promise you will hear anthony there. despite donald trump being indicted in new york, these federal charges are the most serious he faces but they come in the midst of a series of other ongoing cases against him — as our analysis editor ros atkins can explain. today's court appearance is significant on several fronts. this is a federal prosecution.

it's the us department ofjustice charging a former president with multiple crimes. that's never happened before. then there's the 37 charges over alleged mishandling of classified documents. put together, they could come with a substantial prison term — all very serious. but as well as this, trump faces legal challenges in locations across the us. first of all, in new york, where in april he faced charges connected to alleged hush money payments to the former porn star stormy daniels. in may, a jury in a civil case ordered trump to pay a magazine columnist $5 million for sexually assaulting her in the '90s. and there's an ongoing new york state civil case accusing trump of business fraud. in all three, donald trump denies any wrongdoing, but there's more. in washington, a federal investigation continues to scrutinize trump's role in the capitol riots. then in georgia, an investigation is considering

if he sought to tamper with the 2020 election. or to put all of this another way — by next year, donald trump could be facing even more criminal cases. now, at the weekend, he declared, "i will never be detained." but there's no doubt the federal charges being heard in florida raise the stakes. mr trump's former attorney general, bill barr, argues if even half of it's true, he's toast. maybe, but despite all of his legal problems, trump is still strong favourite to win the republican presidential nomination. and even if he were found guilty of one crime or more, even if he were jailed, he can still run for and become president. that we're considering such scenarios is a measure of the remarkable moment that american politics has reached. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc.

a team of automotive engineers in warwickshire have revealed a super fast charging electric vehicle which they hope will revolutionise the car industry. work is under way for a one—time prototype, offering a range of 155 miles. the technological could go into production by 2024, potentially removing range anxiety for motorists.

you're live with bbc news. now to ukraine where bbc journalists are among the first to gain access to one of the areas re—taken by ukrainian forces in this past week of counter—offensive operations. neskuchne, in the eastern donetsk region is one of several settlements near the frontline recaptured by ukraine but correspondent james waterhouse and cameraman lee durant have seen how russia is already pushing back. a journey to a new front line. only the military can take us this far. anatoly is leading the way. he's fought against russian aggression in these parts for nine years — a battle—hardened soldier who knows this patch. he speeds along scarred roads. it's soon clear russian forces are far from gone. "rockets," he says, "and they're going to hit us soon." so now, anatoly is putting his foot down.

we are speeding through, because over the hill are russian forces, but they've just retreated, too. we've heard outgoing mortar fire, and what goes out typically comes back. we've just seen incoming fire a few hundred metres away. the russians are on higher positions in three directions. this is the village of neskuchne, and it's exposed. its name means "not boring" in ukrainian — an obvious irony for a place part of the russian front line until three days ago. one of seven settlements recaptured with the start of ukraine's counteroffensive. "we chased them out," says artem. "this village was under occupation for one and a half years. these are ukrainian lands." this is what we are talking about with these liberations — villages where there isn't anyone left, where buildings have either been destroyed or riddled with bullet holes, suggesting close—quarter fighting. and it's obvious the russians are

trying to take back what was lost. there's heavy artillery overhead, and this is territory still being closely contested. all chanting ukraine is hoping to replicate scenes like this elsewhere. but they can be reversed. in this neighbouring town, the russians pushed back before being repelled again last night. but they're going to have to do it on a much greater scale to achieve their goal, their dream of complete liberation. if neskuchne is anything to go by, it may well be complicated and costly. james waterhouse, bbc news, neskuchne, in eastern ukraine. palestinian youth say they are losing hope in the political process and the idea of a two—state solution citing a lack of progress and leadership here's the bbc�*s nawal al—maghafi. this woman is a 28—year—old photographer. she's grown up in bethlehem in the occupied palestinian

territories, but has never had the chance to vote in a general election. i don't feel like i have the freedom of self—expression in the political sphere. our basic rights are violated from the occupation forces. so why are we also experiencing a similar violence from what is supposed to be our own leadership? exclusive data shared with the bbc has tracked the changing views of 18 to 29—year—old palestinians over the last decade. it suggests this generation shows a growing trend of dissatisfaction for their own leadership. the youth discontent is driven to a large extent by, one, the lack of legitimacy they see in the political system, without elections since 2006. so we have a president who, for the last 14 years, has been ruling without electoral legitimacy.

it's 2am atjenin refugee camp, and members of thejenin brigade are conducting training exercises. mostly men in their 20s, these fighters are independent of known militant groups and have publicly rejected links to political parties in their country. translation: the youth of palestine have lost hope with the political process of the last 30 years. young people today go towards death, because they believe it gives them a rest. many palestinians who were born inside the border of israel find themselves excluded from being part of the palestinian system. i'm not recognised as part of the palestinian system in the west bank. according to israeli law, i'm not even supposed to be here. the two—state solution is the internationally backed formula for peace,

envisaging an independent palestinian state alongside israel, but the data shows a dramatic decline in support for this, with least support amongst young palestinians. the two—state solution is really — it's a corpse of a political project. it's not about a state, if you ask me. a five—year—old can take a look at the map and tell you this doesn't work. i'm tired of these questions. they all ring the same to me. and they've been asked for so many years. and they have not brought change. and i think it's time to change the questions. questions that this generation are already asking. in a bbc interview, sir paul mccartney has revealed that artificial intelligence has helped takejohn lennon's voice from a demo tape and put it into a track that he said will be the final

beatles record. the song is yet to be released and even its name is not yet known but the news comes five decades after the beatles break—up. our music correspondent, mark savage, reports cheering it's 60 years since beatlemania swept the uk. john lennon and george harrison are no longer with us, but paul mccartney says the band will release a new song this year with a little help from artificial intelligence. the song started out in the 19705 withjohn lennon sat at a piano like this in his apartment in new york, singing into a tape recorder. on the cassette, his voice is mixed with the sound of the piano chords and the buzz of the electricity. but new software, trained on original recordings of his voice, means we can subtract those other sounds and be left with the pure audio of lennon's voice. they tell the machine, "this is a voice, this is a guitar, lose the guitar".

so, when we came to make what would be the last beatles record, we were able to takejohn's voice and get it pure through this ai, so then we could mix the record, as we normally would do. paul mccartney didn't name the song, but it's thought to be a mournful ballad that the beatles made a failed attempt to record in 1994. since then, the technology for extracting audio has become much more sophisticated and it's notjust the beatles who have access to it. i have a feeling this is the first we'll see of many beatles tracks, created by fans, perhaps even more created by paul mccartney himself. it alljust depends on the public�*s appetite for this kind of music and what it is they want to hear, but really, the possibilities of this technology are endless. and that's a prospect that could keep the beatles�* lawyers in business for years to come. mark savage, bbc news. a reminder of the top story.

former president donald trump arraigned today. head to the website for all the analysis and updates on the story. to head to the website. thank you for watching. stay with us here on bbc news. hello there. a number of places saw the temperature reach 30 celsius on tuesday. we saw 31 celsius in porthmadog in northwest wales, making it the warmest day there so far for wales. next few days, high pressure will continue to bring a lot of dry, sunny, warm weather, but we are losing the humidity, so we'll be a little bit fresher, more comfortable, certainly cooler and fresher during the overnight periods. now, high pressure sitting towards scandinavia will bring a fine day for wednesday. light onshore breezes affecting eastern england — that will bring

temperatures down somewhat. could just see an isolated shower, western scotland, perhaps northern ireland, but most places will be dry and we'll see those temperatures reaching the mid to upper 20 celsius. but always cooler along north sea coast , 20—22 or 23 degrees there. as we head through wednesday night, see a little bit of mist and fog develop once again. most places will be dry, any showers fading away and temperatures ranging from around 19—14 degrees. again, humidity will be lower, so a more comfortable night for sleeping. so, for thursday, then, we start off a little bit of mist and fog here and there. otherwise, it's another dry, sunny day with a little bit of fairweather cloud into the afternoon. again, just a chance of an isolated shower developing across some western areas. most places, though, will remain dry. and again, with that onshore breeze, it's much cooler along north sea coasts — 21 degrees there. it's the mid to high 20s. elsewhere now, we start to see some changes as we push towards the end of the week, this area of low

pressure starts to move into western areas. that could bring a few showers, but high pressure continues to bring fine and dry weather for most of the country for friday. we've lost the onshore breeze, so it will be warmer along north sea coasts. winds will be light across the board. lots of sunshine into the afternoon, but a chance of some showers or thunderstorms pushing into the far west later in the day. but again, those temperatures mid to high 20s for most of us — very pleasantly warm and less humid. as we head into the weekend, though, it does look like this area of low pressure becomes a bit more established across the western side of the country. a few showers could get towards the east as well, but it's always bumping up against that area of high pressure, so it could take its while to reach more southern and eastern areas. but you can see it's an unsettled theme for the weekend and indeed even into next week, but for the best part, it should stay on the warm side.

this is bbc news. we will have the headlines and all the main news stories for you at the top of the hour, straight after this programme.
