this is the latest response from donald trump on his truth social platform. the 18 others indicted — include people who were very close to mr trump in 2020. amongst them — former trump lawyer rudy giuliani seen here on the left, with former white house chief of staff mark meadows on the right. there's also former white house lawyer, john eastman, and a formerjustice department official, jeffrey clark — also here on the right. among the allegations is a violation of georgia's "rico" act. that's a powerful law passed in 1970, originally used to target organised crime. it's punishable by a maximum 20 years in prison. the head prosecutor is fulton county's attorney general, fani willis. through participation in a criminal enterprise in the fulton county georgia, and elsewhere, to accomplish the illegal goal of allowing donaldj

accomplish the illegal goal of allowing donald] trump to seize the presidential term of office beginning onjanuary 20,2021. the investigation into the group who have until august 25th to surrender was launched after a leaked recording of a 67 minute phone call between mr trump and georgia's top election official — secretary of state, brad raffensperger. during the call, mr trump lobbied mr raffensberger to overturn the state's election result — citing debunked claims of election fraud. let's run through extracts of that call — starting with unsupported claims from the former president — about suitcases full of ballots.

we will have a listen to one of the most pointed exchanges and that call, with mr trump spelling out how many votes he needs. another person charged was mr trump's former lawyer rudy giuliani. here's his reaction. in a statement to cbs news — the former new york mayor called the charges an "affront to american democracy". he went on to say the indictment "does permanent, irrevocable harm" to the justice system, describing it as "just the next chapter in a book of lies" to frame mr trump. he added: "the real criminals here are the people who have brought this case forward both directly and indirectly." so, this is the fourth separate criminal case donald trump faces.

he's now facing a total of 91 charges. as well as the 13 we've been talking about in georgia, he faces four over election interference stemming from his actions around the january 6th capitol riots. the most criminal charges mr trump is facing is a0 — they come from the classified documents cases. you'll remember thousands of documents were seized from his florida estate last year, including about a hundred marked as classified. the fourth case is known as the new york hush money case — where there are 3a counts. the charges stem from a payment made before the 2016 election to the former porn actress stormy daniels. i'v e i've been speaking to our correspondent in washington, and asked him if this latest action was potentially the most damaging so far. it potentially the most damaging so far. , ,., ., , potentially the most damaging so far. , ., , far. it is potentially the most damaging — far. it is potentially the most damaging so _ far. it is potentially the most damaging so far, _ far. it is potentially the most damaging so far, because . far. it is potentially the mostl damaging so far, because this far. it is potentially the most. damaging so far, because this is far. it is potentially the most - damaging so far, because this is a state case. these are allegations of crimes committed in the state of

georgia, not federal crimes committed at a national level. had they been federal charges against donald trump, he theoretically, if you were to be elected as president, could pardon himself of those charges. at a state level, that is much harder than donald trump to do, evenif much harder than donald trump to do, even if he is elected again as president. notwithstanding the seriousness of these charges, which range from racketeering to election meddling, that phone call where donald trump asked an election official to find 11,780 votes, notwithstanding the seriousness of the charges, that is potentially much more difficult for donald trump to get out of, were he to be found guilty. in to get out of, were he to be found uuil . , ., ., guilty. in terms of timing, what ha--ens guilty. in terms of timing, what happens next? _ guilty. in terms of timing, what happens next? the _ guilty. in terms of timing, what happens next? the most - guilty. in terms of timing, what - happens next? the most important thin is happens next? the most important thing is that — happens next? the most important thing is that donald _ happens next? the most important thing is that donald trump - happens next? the most important thing is that donald trump and - happens next? the most important thing is that donald trump and his | thing is that donald trump and his co—dependents havejust thing is that donald trump and his co—dependents have just until next friday to surrender themselves or present themselves in georgia to be formally charged. the prosecutor has also made it clear that she would like to see a trial happen within

the next six months. that of course will be slap bang in the middle of a presidential election campaign, and of course the other criminal cases that donald trump is facing in washington and new york. it is difficult to see how all of the cases can happen at the same time. donald trump would obviously like any potential trial to happen after the election, when the political significance of any trial would be diminished, but the prosecutor has made it clear she would like a trial within six months. that isn't yet clear. a , within six months. that isn't yet clear. , ~ , within six months. that isn't yet clear. , ~ , clear. many americans are waking up to this news — clear. many americans are waking up to this news because _ clear. many americans are waking up to this news because it _ clear. many americans are waking up to this news because it happened - to this news because it happened quite late at night in georgia. give us a sense of the reaction, what different media outlets are saying about this latest indictment. it depends who you watch, really. if you are watching the trump right—wing allied cable tv channels, they are dismissing it, as has donald trump, as a politically motivated stunt designed to try and weaken his election campaign. the tv

channels that are traditionally against mr trump are laying into the significance of this, and suggesting that it could hinder his election campaign. the key thing is what happens to those people who might support trump in the next election. donald trump's view is that the more charges that are laid against him, the higher he goes in the polls. but perhaps doesn't hold true. there will always be the trump base, the make america great again base that will support trump through thick and thin. i think those voters through the centre of the centre—right who might be inclined to vote for trump but may be less inclined to vote for him if the charges do stick. the bbc can reveal that three spies for russia have been arrested and charged in the uk. the two men and one woman — who are all bulgarian nationals — were detained in february. they have been remanded in custody since then — and have now been charged with possessing fake security documents. it's alleged they were working for the russian security services. 0ur correspondent daniel de simone

here — norfolk and suffolk police say that the personal information of more than 1,200 people — including victims of crime and witnesses — was included in freedom of information responses issued by the forces. they say data was hidden from anyone opening the files, but it should not have been included. mark lobel has more details. this is concerning news, because a technical issue is being blamed by norfolk and suffolk constabulary is, which is led to the release of personal data relating to hundreds of victims, witnesses and suspects of crime being sent out in error by norfolk and suffolk constabulary is. how that happened, as there were freedom of information requests and data mistakenly attached to the responses to these requests relating to crime statistics to those police forces between april 2021 and march 2022. the type of data that was attached in hidden files was related

to crime reports, so that data includes a personal identifiable information on witnesses, victims and suspects, as well as descriptions of offences of crimes. it relates to a range of offences, including domestic incidents, sexual offences, solves thefts and hate crimes. as you said, a total of 1230 people are said to be affected now that are full and thorough analysis into the data has been completed. interestingly, both norfolk and suffolk constabularies save the data was hidden, in their words, from anyone viewing it. it was on an encrypted part of these responses. they say they have found nothing to suggest that the data has been accessed by anyone outside of policing. that is from what they found so far. what they have also said is that anyone who has been affected by this, anybody who's data will be within those hidden files, essentially, will be contacted by

letter, phone or in person by the end of september. there has been an apology by suffolk police's temporary assistant constable, who has apologised for the incident and said he sincerely regret any concern it may have caused the people of norfolk and suffolk. here, the prime minister has defended the decision to accommodate migrants on the bibby stockholm. the mugging removed after traces of legionella were found on the barge. they are not expected to return for several weeks. the labour leader says that housing migrants on barges is not a solution for what he describes as a broken asylum system. rishi sunak insists the government's approach is favoured for the taxpayer than housing asylum seekers and hotels. ~ ., taxpayer than housing asylum seekers and hotels. ~ . ., ,, and hotels. what has happened here is that it is right _ and hotels. what has happened here is that it is right that _ and hotels. what has happened here is that it is right that we _ and hotels. what has happened here is that it is right that we go - is that it is right that we go through all the checks and procedures to ensure the health and well—being for all the people housed on the barge. take a step back, this

is about fairness, and the unfairness of british taxpayers forking out five or e6 unfairness of british taxpayers forking out five or £6 million per day to house illegal migrants up and down hotels in the country, with all the pressure that puts on local communities. we have to find alternatives to that, that is what the barge is about, that is why we are committed to it, but more importantly, we have to stop people coming to this place legally. that's why one of my five priorities is to stop the boats. we have passed new laws that will enable us to do that for that. there is a long way to go on this, but i'm determined to fix this programme comic problem, and we can reassure people that we will keep at it. the new un humanitarian co—ordinator for afghanistan is warning that a huge shortfall in funding could led to the collapse of the country's health system and growing malnutrition. women and girls are faced severe

some spells of sunshine and temperatures of 21 degrees in glasgow, 20 in belfast, but 25, maybe 26 in parts of eastern england. through the evening, most of the showers will fade, but we will keep more cloud across the north and the east of scotland and parts of north—east england as we go through the night. a few spots of rain with that. elsewhere, some clear spells. it will be a relatively cool night for some parts of east wales, the west midlands and down into the west country. across southern england, wales, parts of northern england, southern scotland and northern ireland there could be some patchy fog tomorrow morning and, at this time of year, that fog can tend to linger for a couple of hours through the morning rush hour. it should then tend to lift and clear. for most, there's going to be a lot of dry weather, spells of sunshine and just the small chance of catching a shower. more cloud generally clinging on across some northern and eastern parts of scotland, with some showers here. the highest temperatures down towards the south—east corner, up to around 26 celsius. as we move out of wednesday into thursday, this area of high pressure tends to shift

north—eastwards and the winds begin to come in our direction from the near continent, which will bring some warmer air across more parts of the uk. so a warmer feeling day on thursday, quite humid, as well. some fog patches to start off, particularly across parts of northern england and scotland. one or two showers, but a lot of dry weather, some spells of sunshine and temperatures for many spots getting into the low to mid—20s. we could see 25, maybe 26 degrees around some or western parts. that warmth will try to hold on into friday. there's uncertainty aboutjust how warm friday might be because we see frontal systems approaching from the atlantic and, depending on just how quickly the cloud and the rain arrives, well, temperatures may be somewhat suppressed. we will see outbreaks of rain pushing in from the south—west, some heavy thundery bursts, and temperatures generally in the low to mid—20s.
