10:01 am
crimes. you can see for yourself, these are civilians. this woman was carrying potatoes and snipers shocked them on the head, out of affordable, which i tries to come to terms with indiscriminate killings that shocked the world or crimes. prosecutors work to name the perpetrators for acts that will let him use the lensky says his country will never forgive. ah, anika, really? it's good to have you with us. donald trump's lawyer say they will vigorously fight the charges against their client in the 1st criminal case ever against a sitting or former u. s. president trump has been indicted by a grand jury in new york, while the exact charges are parts of the sealed indictment. it's known there thanks
10:02 am
to an alleged hush money payment to an adult film actor before the 2016 presidential election. it's understood trump could turn himself in early next week . he's running to regain the white house in 2024. donald trump is set to become the 1st u. s. president ever to face criminal charges. a grand jury tasked by the manhattan district attorney's office spent weeks looking into a $130000.00 payment made to porn act. us stormy daniels trump reportedly paid the sum during the 2016 presidential campaign to keep daniels quiet about a sexual encounter. she alleges they had years earlier, he is above the law. he is considered. this is what the trump vehemently denies allegations of wrongdoing. the exec charges he will face have not yet been made public. it's too early to speculate what type of sentence truck would get if he were convicted by a new york jury. the judge would likely,
10:03 am
based on the evidence that was presented at trial, whether trump testified, whether he perjured himself, donald trump claims he is innocent. he called the indictment a case of, quote, political persecution and election interference at the highest level in history. his lawyers say they will vigorously fight any charges. the proceedings of bound to shake up the 2024 presidential race. the u. s. constitution does not require a clean criminal record for some one to become president. but it would be extraordinary for some one under indictment or convicted of a felony to become a presidential candidate. prosecutors say they are in contact with trumps lawyers to arrange his surrender. and he is expected to turn himself in early next week. only then will the specific charges be made public short while ago i spoke with david dan from the university of birmingham,
10:04 am
and he gave us his assessment of the champ indictments. well, these are high stakes or actions by the new york and a legal team in that it could backfire in terms of the way in which trump was perceived by his base. and by a lot of americans who, who will agree with, with trump, that this is an extraordinary charge to be brought 7 years after the alleged events, when perhaps other issues would be more important for them to focus on. he certainly trying to milk it for all it's worth politically at when these charges refers rumored. a he raised one and a half a 1000000 pounds or over night, or in supporters are flocking to his cause are so for his base. this will be that political persecution for the wider public, the r, bemused and watching with interest. he is running for president again. how do you
10:05 am
expect the indictment to affect the race for the white house in 2024? well, trump loves to be in the headlines and this guarantees him more air time. you will get more support, more financial support. and he is, he is a law against the trend. it was the idea of us being a political persecution of him. and he's using that to actually a royal up that base who see him is the only way that they can challenge the established where things are done in washington for the wider public. i imagine they see this as more of the same as sullied and disreputable, an individual who actually has many things hanging over him and who they want to draw line under and move forward at the midterm elections and candidates back by trump lost by a margin of about 20 percent compared to those who didn't get trumps endorsement.
10:06 am
so the white republic is tired of trump, but his base or want more of him. so the irony of this is that makes it more likely that he will get the nomination for the republican party. but less likely that he will win, but we will see her again that the earth that lou shenanigans of a trump, his personality, his, his approach to politics as opposed to life, playing out over the, the remainder of this administration. and probably up to the next election and 2024 . yeah. cases like this. when oftentimes years ago to trial he may become president again, next year at it. could this indictment possibly lead to a sitting president taking fan and being convicted? yes. and indeed across this is only one of 4 and air possible indictments or the other ones are more series are the ones, the ones are more likely that will lead to jail time if, if they were approved for it for him to have a try to overturn the election in georgia, a, the, the alleged or activities of him supporting the insurrection on january 6th. and of
10:07 am
course they also the stealing and concealing the documents at moral argo, when he actually lied the allegedly, to the, the air national archives of about what he had. and what. ready was on the like, so there are many aspects of his legal jeopardy that will play out. it's not just a stormy daniels and fat. all this is the 1st one to come to court and so on. weight us is the least serious. and that is the, the attempt to subvert them, the democratic process, and this is marginal, compared to the attempts allegedly that he did for the other cases that he faces. so what we're going to see more trump or indictments more, want to jump in there for a 2nd. we don't have much time, but i do want to ask you this if we see a sitting president getting convicted quinton pardon himself. no, he can't pardon himself and that the president here is as richard nixon or who may have been indicted, had he not been pardoned by his vice president,
10:08 am
gerald ford. but but the earth, despite what a trunk might think, he hasn't got the power to pardon himself and. and therefore if he is indicted one office, the only option there is for it for the, the, this, the slate. to be clear. why this is the sitting or vice president, whether that happens or not, of course is another matter entirely, but we're long way ahead or away from that he may well be indicted and and or email me will lose the election, or if indeed even guessing exactly. renee, exactly, and looking into the crescent father, david donnelly, university of birmingham, thank you so much and to the central indian city of indoor were at least $35.00 hindu worshippers have died at a temple they were celebrating the end of festival of rom, narvie not ami a flor over a well is said to have collapsed rescue workers are continuing their efforts. ah, dozens of worshippers fell into this world in
