to an adult film actor just before the 2016 presidential election. trump's support among republican voters has surged since he was he became the 1st former president to be criminal criminally indicted. he w's anus poll has more on the atmosphere in new york city ahead of trump's arraignment. you know, pablo of new york doesn't really like donald trump, and you can see that here they're far less prod her says than expected. and i'm sure they're donald trump. himself is pretty her kind of wrist on. let's build that race. probably not so happy about the outcome because there seem to be more policeman and more media or colleagues or than actual the protesters. however, the police department, the new york police department is a prepared for some violence. you see, there are metal fences put all over and many,

many streets are block not only here around or the courthouse, but also iran to also round trump tower and popular. i had the chance to talk to some protesters for and against a donald trump a little earlier at the trump tower. let's listen what they have to say help. it helped him definitely, but it shouldn't be happening at slightly. williams on them. it was they are the president shouldn't be above the lord is a line. is that right thing to diet him. what do you make of that? i don't agree with that. i don't think he should have been indicted for it. i don't think they have anything to clock them up for i think this is just the or political persecution of somebody that they don't like. it is controversial. yes. like, you know, he doesn't so many wrong things and he's really, as i mentioned,

a criminal for so many decades that the end of the balls got to get rolling. i well enough you appear to have her protest, her they're behind you and for that will last, let's talk a little bit about what will happen went from for arrives at at the court house on tuesday afternoon, right up. no, he is expected to arrive around 215 to morrow and to stay and her he is expected to official officially to surrender to the prosecutors and then like everyone and he will be booked and are for felony charges. and he will go to the process of finger prints will be taken, her photographs will be taken and maybe he will even be walked in or having a hand carved. this is up to the prosecutors if they demand that as the charges are not violent, he will be able to leave after a half an hour or so,

and he doesn't have to pay the bail until then can fly back to florida to morrow largo where he is living and he is expected to deliver a speech around air 8 local time to explain how he experienced the day here in the courthouse behind me. and tell us how our americans reacting to this sad expected court appearance by donald trump. schneider is all, it really depends whom you ask. many, many americans are really still struggling with her inflation with the high gas prices of the high energy prices with the high food prices. they don't really care about what is going on in this building behind me. tomorrow. but of course, especially those who are a little closer to politics are they are, some of them are really criticized said in really strong words as we just heard

from her some of the folks i could talk to in front of her some towers. others applauds the decision to indict him. why? because to say no one should be above the law, not even a former president, but a kind of a spark. and the outrage, donald trump was hoping for, it is not seen, at least not yet. now, enos trumps, not just a former u. s. president, he wants to be the next us president. how do you think this will impact his chances? so i apologize. it is important to know even if he would get convicted before the presidential election in november of 2024, he still would be able to run for president, or they have been for candidates who actually were running or organizing their campaigns out of jail. so that's important thing to understand a far international audience,

it might by the end of the day actually help him because what he is getting now is attention. as we see, there are hundreds of journalists from all over the world are giving him our time. and he actually is really able already able to monitor isaac, his campaign says that in only 24 hours after it was announced that it will get indicted, he was able to raise $4000000.00. so it's totally unclear if i by the end of the day, this might not even kind of help him going back into the white house. thanks dennis . t w's, innes, po, live from new york city, russian authority say ukraine was behind an explosion at a cafe in saint petersburg that killed a well known pro war blogger. the kremlin, describe the blast as a terrorist attack, carried out by ukrainian secret services. cave denies involvement and has blamed russian domestic terrorism. a woman moscow claims has linked with anti war rallies,
