9:31 pm
relief which is called a bond agreement, which includes a certain about of money in the case of donald trump, it's $200,000 to be quickly processed and quickly released from jail, from custody here. if you haven't renegotiated those terms, we've seen harris and floyd, one of the defendants here, actually be stuck in the jail for several hours, as those terms and the amount of money and the bail and everything are being negotiated. so they can slow things down and usually in typical places that don't involve high profile or vip defendant says they are being called in this case, you could wait even hours or days in the jail, that's not what you want to do here the fulton county jail. what we are expecting from donald trump it will be a short visit, one or two hours max, finger printed, processed. we except does expect there will be a mug shot taken we don't have confirmation but every other defendant in this case that is come through the jail has had a mug shot taken and it's been publicly
9:32 pm
released. we're looking at a time frame of about 7:30pm time that's what donald trump himself has said, he should be arriving at the entrance just over my shoulder. we'll see how long it takes in terms of those processing steps and expected then he will get back in the motorcade and head back to the airport. the motorcade and head back to the airort.

9:33 pm
to inflict crimes on people or property, so there is a list of restrictions on donald trump, it's not clear what might happen if he were to break those terms. of course were to break those terms. of course we know he's a prolific social media poster. we've seen mentioning district attrition —— attorney. what would happen if he would break the terms of that agreement we are not quite sure, i would think and many legal experts point to the fact that it would take a very big breach of these rules if we are going to see donald trump remanded back into customary and placed back inside this jailfor any customary and placed back inside this jail for any long period customary and placed back inside this jailfor any long period of this jail for any long period of time this jailfor any long period of time if he were to break these restrictions that have been put in lace. �* r' restrictions that have been put in lace. �* n' ., restrictions that have been put in lace. �* ., . restrictions that have been put in lace. ., ., g , ., ., ., lace. ask for that. just ahead of donald trump _ lace. ask for that. just ahead of donald trump 's _ lace. ask for that. just ahead of donald trump 's appearance - lace. ask for that. just ahead of - donald trump 's appearance at that donald trump �*s appearance at that jail, former chief of staff here today, how important is he in setting out a timeline of what went on in georgia? i

9:37 pm
with republic prudence going after her and the committees, obviously there other cases pending which some would prefer to take precedence over her case. how do you think she is going to handle that? let her case. how do you think she is going to handle that?— going to handle that? let me be clear, district _ going to handle that? let me be clear, district attorney - going to handle that? let me be clear, district attorney funny - clear, district attorney funny willis is not new to this at all. she has prosecuted rico cases in the past, she has prosecuted atlanta public school teachers on a cheating scandal. she is also currently prosecuting another alleged gang activity with a very known rapper, young thug, in fulton county. public school case was a rico charge, the young thug case is a rico charge, now she's processing donald trump at 18 others under a rico charge. district attorney is a very serious district attorney is a very serious district attorney, she's a very serious prosecutor, she's very
9:38 pm
experienced in all this, i don't think she bows down to anyone, i think she bows down to anyone, i think that she moves forward and she moves forward expediently. as was said before, there are a lot of legal complications within this, but i have dealt with attorneys and her office, i have known herfor quite some time, i do take her at her word that if she says that she is prepared then she is prepared and has expected almost any and everything that has going to be thrown at her. this will be very interesting to see how it will play out and i can also tell you about the jurisdictions. out and i can also tell you about thejurisdictions. atlanta out and i can also tell you about the jurisdictions. atlanta and out and i can also tell you about thejurisdictions. atlanta and metro atlanta are very very democratic. it's a very blue area within it. now the northern district of georgia is not. the northern district of georgia which is where the sub remedy clause argument to be removed out of the state of georgia is being argued, that is not a blue district, thatis argued, that is not a blue district, that is not a dumb and that is mostly a republican district and you'll have a lot of friends for former president donald trump in the
9:39 pm
district of georgia then you would in atlanta. it'll be interesting to see how these arguments play out. just on that point chris, you're talking, this is a jury trial right? thejury would sit talking, this is a jury trial right? the jury would sit on this whether it would be fair to donald trump and whether it would be fair to the other 18 codefendants? irate whether it would be fair to the other 18 codefendants? we are lookin: at other 18 codefendants? we are looking at the _ other 18 codefendants? we are looking at the districts - other 18 codefendants? we are looking at the districts where l other 18 codefendants? we are - looking at the districts where these jurors would come from, they would come from fulton county if that stays within district attorney funny willis isjurisdiction. the northern district of georgia goes all the way up district of georgia goes all the way up to the up around tennessee and everywhere else. very rural, a lot of other areas that donald trump one in the 2020 election at a very huge margin over then—presidentjoe biden. he didn't lose georgia but he won over handedly and other areas.
9:40 pm
so if he's looking for friends, the friends are not going to be found in the city of atlanta. the friends will be found in the northern district which is another reason why this legal argument of moving his case, which he could argue would be prejudicial in northern atlanta to the northern district is one of the strongest cases he could make. {line strongest cases he could make. one ofthe strongest cases he could make. one of the greatest _ strongest cases he could make. one of the greatest falls from grace, for international watchers, must be the fate of rudy giuliani. we all remit for him from the days of 9/11, those awful events, here he was last night booked at the fulton county jail house. some reportedly is going in hand to donald trump begging for legalfees to be in hand to donald trump begging for legal fees to be fate. there is some talk that that donald trump is going to hold a fundraiser for him talk that that donald trump is going to hold a fundraiserfor him in the next couple of weeks, it's an extraordinary turn of events isn't it? �* ., . ~ extraordinary turn of events isn't it? ~ . . ~ , ., extraordinary turn of events isn't

it? n, . ~ ,., ., ~ it? back then when you were talking about, giuliani _ it? back then when you were talking about, giuliani was _ it? back then when you were talking about, giuliani was the _ it? back then when you were talking about, giuliani was the face - it? back then when you were talking about, giuliani was the face of- it? back then when you were talking about, giuliani was the face of law l about, giuliani was the face of law enforcement in the united states, it was a figure of law enforcement. the journey from that to here, i was reflecting in the break actually that back in 2000, 2001, i use to teach at master schools that had students from the us and european alum universities. we use to talk about comparisons between the us and european politics. the bush supreme court verdict and the fact there was such strong losers consent and that united states. that was it, done. before all the upset there was on the democratic side, there was very little in the way a fuss about it we went through and we just commented on how amazing it was that you have a system that put so much trust in the american citizen. in 22 years that system has changed so much. we are already starting to see the flavour of the defence in this place, it's a first amendment case,
9:42 pm
it's the advice of counsel. where are the lines? because this is what the case will ultimately come down to, the advice that people likejohn eastman and some of the others were giving him, regarding the election. if they were giving him knowingly false advice, was that covered by the first amendment? so false advice, was that covered by the first amendment?— the first amendment? so the strongest _ the first amendment? so the strongest case _ the first amendment? so the strongest case here - the first amendment? so the strongest case here would i the first amendment? so the i strongest case here would have the first amendment? so the - strongest case here would have been if prosecutors could have brought the argument that donald trump willfully— the argument that donald trump willfully incited violence on january— willfully incited violence on january six, because there was no first oer— january six, because there was no first peramendment january six, because there was no first per amendment production, no free—speech protection if you incite violence _ free—speech protection if you incite violence. but they didn't do that, which _ violence. but they didn't do that, which means i have to think they don't _ which means i have to think they don't have — which means i have to think they don't have the evidence. i think it would _ don't have the evidence. i think it would have — don't have the evidence. i think it would have liked to do that, but he was not _ would have liked to do that, but he was not charged with inciting violence. _ was not charged with inciting violence, norwas was not charged with inciting violence, nor was he linked to any of the _ violence, nor was he linked to any of the hundreds of cases that were prosecuted up here in washington, dc regarding _ prosecuted up here in washington, dc

9:57 pm
it is going to be cooler. last night, temperatures stayed for most in and around the low teens, but some spots tonight will dip into the single digits. so a cooler start to tomorrow, but because of those clear skies, a largely dry start first thing. and there should be some good amounts of sunshine to enjoy during the first part of the day as well. northerly winds will develop, keeping it feeling a little bit cooler and fresher towards the north and the west, with some outbreaks of rain here. some scattered showers develop elsewhere through the day, and there is the potential that some of those will be heavy with some thunder and lightning. and towards the south—east, the temperatures start to fall back to normal for the time of year. 21 degrees in london. that�*s down by about five degrees on today. into saturday, where the low pressure stays with us, those northerly winds keeping it cooler and fresher towards the north and the west with a few spots of rain. as the day gets going, we�*re going to see scattered showers popping up, and when they do, they could well be very heavy. some thunder and lightning likely to be in the mix as well, but there will be sunshine in between those showers.
9:58 pm
so it�*s not always going to be raining through the day on saturday. into sunday, we have another weather system in the atlantic, and that�*s going to move in slowly. as it does so, bringing a lot of cloud, and there will be a good bit of rain coming into northern ireland. as that system nudges eastwards, it will begin to fizzle out, but bringing a lot of cloud to many other areas of the uk. it�*s bank holiday monday for many of us, and that does look as though it will be a fairly decent day for many. largely dry, some sunshine coming and going. so, into sunday, a little bit unsettled the further north and west. for monday, there will be a lot of dry weather and some sunshine for quite a few of us.
