he hands himself into prosecutors on tuesday. a face is criminal charges, stemming from hush money, allegedly paid during the 2016 presidential campaign. also coming up, germany's vice chancellor makes his 1st visit to ukraine and pledges to help rebuild the country. as presidents, the landscape stresses that what key needs most is weapons. and as britain presses the head with controversial plans to crack down on migration across the english channel, we look at the situation from the french side of the border. and they're heading for the mon nasa names a 4 person crew, including the 1st woman and 1st african american astronauts to take part in a lunar mission her. ah, i'm sarah kelly. welcome to the program. former us president donald trump is

preparing to surrender to prosecutors in new york later today as he faces an unprecedented court appearance. trump is the 1st sitting or former us president to face criminal prosecution. tuesday will see his arraignment on charges linked to alleged hush money payments to adult film actors, stormy daniels just before the 2016 presidential election. the former reality tv stat and president is the biggest story in town. again, arriving at trump tower, donald trump, heated quickly inside for more talks with his legal team. his support is rallied loudly nearby, while others demanded justice. guiding him on off hooker's came in 10 years ago or 7 years ago is a misdemeanor. and it should not be

a felony case by alvin group. i don't think they have anything to walk them up for i think this is just a political persecution of somebody that they don't work. and on top of that, i think it's election interference. countries very divided at this point. so it's important that we understand that this is not a justice a criminal case against trump would be unlike anything the use has either experienced on choose day. he is expected to surrender himself at the district attorney's office. before being arraigned at the criminal court with the charges will be read to him. authorities a bracing for protests. as always, we will not allow violence or vandalism of any kind, and if one is court participating in any act of violence, they would be arrested and held accountable. no matter who you are. while

tramp was the focus of attention in new york city, president joe biden was visiting a factory and minnesota. he has consistently refused to comment on the charges against trump. monday was no exception. or livermore optimizon about the future of our country. just remember, it's just important. remember who we are. we're the united states of america. there is nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing beyond our capacity. trump has bound to continue with his 2024 presidential bid come. what may, in this case is even seen a surge and his support among republicans, but opinion in the country remains deeply divided with more americans than not saying he should face charges over the stormy daniels case. andy w, washington bureau chief in ass poll, sent us this assessment of the expectations ahead of the arraignment in the manhattan criminal court. behind me,

donald trump is set to formally surrender to prosecutors for alleged hash money paid to adult film actress stormy daniels in 2016 trump. like any one else will walk through the routine steps of a felony arrest. he will be booked and taken into cassidy, fingerprinted photographed and maybe even handcuffed. we don't know the exact charge as yet, but we will learn more about the official details later. today. the security are wrong. the court house end, trump tower is tied. the new york city police have set up medal barriers and blocked off numerous streets due to threats of protest. since the news broke last friday, trump has been treating the case as us bank tackle rather than a serious issue hoping that this made is credited at least in the eyes of his supporters. and as with every other news about himself, trump is turning the indictment into

a big money machine. according to his campaign, he raised more than $4000000.00 within the 1st 24 hours after the indictment was announced. and earlier i spoke with american history expert, jessica, you know, hecht, who gave us more on the implications of trump, stay in court and why the event is unique. what's different today is really the political mood, coupled with the enormous significance of the presidential office. and you have to know that originally the president was not a very important man in american politics, but the more important the office became since the light, late 1900 century, the more attention voters have been paying to his personality and his ethics. so nixon was pushed out of office because there was bipartisan pressure for him to go . and you also hoped to be, pardon, pardon, by his successor, that's not at all the case today. trump has

a lot of backing in his own party and from his fellow conservatives, and there's no way that joe biden will pardon donald trump. this is unprecedented. and we understand that there are more cases in the works against trump. tell us a little bit more about what might be ahead. well, if only we knew to be told, we really don't know exactly what the charges are and we will find out this today. we know that trump has been charged with their on 2 dozen different counts, including felonies, but the indictment is unsealed. it will only be unsealed when he appears in court today. so we know that the decision by the manhattan grand jury to indict trump is comes at the tails of a work 5 year long investigation of the story. daniels appears in 2016. and it's not the lie that is the salient to year. but the cover of that could perhaps amount to something like a federal campaign violation. but again,

we really need to wait on this. we don't know he's facing all of his legal troubles . what is it likely to mean for his 2024 election aspiration? depends on who you ask, but plain and simple. my point, no, this is not going to complicate his bid for reelection at all. this will not undermine his candidacy if he seeks the candidacy. for 2 reasons. most people who are, who are his supporters already believe that new york is a deplorable pit of liberalism and that those liberals are out to get donald trump . so from support is believe that there is a concerted effort to get him, which is exactly what he's been propagating for the last couple of years. really. and the 2nd point is that opinions are already settled pretty much on the fact that he leads a scandalous life. people also know about his action regarding governmental affairs in the know that he's been charged about the abuse of power even after his presidency. so none of this is really new,

none of what we will hear in new york is entirely new. none of this will matter to his bid because he was and he continues to be willing to uphold the policies that he supporters advocated. so no, probably today is not going to affect his bid for the presidency on a foot note though, what is going to be affected is his legacy, the historical memory. because i think in the, in the history of american trends, he will feature f one who sought to transform the meaning of the presidency into one where ethics just don't count. all right, we have to leave it there. american history expert, just like you know, hecht thank you so much. thank you very much. ukraine says that russian suicide drones have struck the city of odessa in an overnight attack. ukrainian defense forces say that they shot down 14 of the 17 iranian made. shaw had drones unleashed on the strategically important port city on the black sea. according to local officials, one drone hit an enterprise in the region, causing a fire,

which has since been put out. there were no reports of human casualties. germany's vice chancellor has paid his 1st visit to ukraine since the russian invasion, robert hobbled, joined president lensky on a visit to a ukrainian village where alleged russian war crimes took place. a year ago, they visited a school basement where nearly $400.00 villagers were held captive for almost a month by russian troops. for 11 people died during the ordeal in the village, north of keefe or she's in discussions with ukrainian government officials, how best expressed regret that germany did not help arm ukraine before the russian invasion change position. but it took too long and was too late. i know that i think not all of the german petite, who would say the same, but i hear your shame that it was too late. and part of my job was in the last year

to help bring weapons s half and as many as we could. and this is an ongoing promise. and the german vice chancellor brought more than just reflections on his 1st visit to ukraine. the w political correspondent, julia found deli, has more yeah, well, he is germany's vice chancellor, but also the economy minister. and what he brought with them was a delegation of german industry business leaders. and that is because his plan with this visit was to try to help ukraine rebuild after it has been consistently attacked by russia and help spur ukraine's economy. he said that he wants to focus on the infrastructure, the energy infrastructure, but also on rebuilding houses and roads. and that is something that he says, germany's government is committed to also because the german government says it will guarantee these investment by german companies. german companies will

negotiate the deals themselves, but germany will provide a guarantee and that is something that germany doesn't normally do in war zones because the risk is so high. and it shows that in this case, the german government really is committed and trying to, to help you crane rebuild. how far does that commitment extend? because of the lensky has made it very clear what he needs most right now is more weapons. more ammunition, poland announcing that its 1st batch of a fighter jets has now been delivered. is germany expected to follow suit? well, we've heard that, how big ends lensky spoke about upping the delivery of ammunition, which is sorely needed in ukraine and also continuing with the delivery of other heavy, heavy weapons like tanks. a recent batch of leopard tags was delivered by germany to ukraine last week after ukraine. really push to get these, these tanks delivered and promised by germany and germany finally accepted to do that earlier this year. now,

there has been talk over the last few weeks about fighter jets being delivered to ukraine, about having said that this was not a topic of conversation with president lensky and germany's position has been that they do not plan to deliver fighter jets. you can't use to ukraine also because just that ukraine is seeking to get our, the f, 16 us made fighter jets, which germany doesn't even have if we just take this into the big picture, julia just give us an assessment of how far germany is willing to go, how much can continue to give? well, the, the german government says that it is committed further in the long run. they want to continue supporting ukraine with weapons and the german public also supports continued delivery of weapons. what we have to see is whether germany will have enough stock to continue providing that ukraine and how long that will last and it

has to continue replenishing its own stock and keeping up with deliveries to ukraine. so that will be the challenge going ahead julia. so deleon, berlin, thank you. and here's a look at some other stories making news around the world. at least one person was killed and 30 were injured in the netherlands when a train crashed in the village of 4 shelton. judge dutch authorities said that the high speed night train derailed after hitting construction equipment that was left on the track. dutch railways, announced train cancellations on the busy link after the accident. a massive fire has engulfed a shopping complex in bangladesh, his capital dhaka, the blaze began in the early hours of tuesday, and the bank of his are known for its off vendors and home to some $3000.00 shops. army units are aiding firefighters in the effort to control the police. no immediate casualties were reported for him in his nato secretary general against owenberg says that finland will formerly join the alliance in

chancellor, olaf shoulds has met with leaders of romania and moldova, in bucharest, he assured them of germany's ongoing support describing moldova as part of the european family. the 2 eastern european countries share borders with ukraine and have seen huge numbers of refugees arrived since the invasion, more growth model. fortune is pushing ahead with a contentious asylum law designed to reduce illegal migration across the english channel. the proposed bill would deny people who reach britain on small boats the right claim asylum. london has also agreed to pay france more than half a $1000000000.00 euros to boost measures to stop migrants, including to play an extra border guards to france. t w's. lisa lewis looks at how the plans are going down with french police in the port city of cali, some 40 kilometers from the coast of britain. these offices have

a clear mandate to prevent migrants from crossing the english channel. police patrol in groups of $6.00 to $10.00, they concealing their faces for security reasons. 1000000 daylight or use normal binoculars and infrared ones at night. zeeman looked young, illegal migration across the channel to britain sword last year, with a record $45000.00 new arrivals. up from $17000.00 the previous year. to curb that number, britain will supply friends with more money and extra british border police. london plans to deport migrants who do managed to reach british shores back to france for their part french police, try to track down smugglers who supply the boats used by migrants. the brazil, they hide their supplies and retrieve them at night. as soon as we patrol a large area of the packed with hiding places where the officers doubt that the new

stricter asylum laws on the other side of the channel will deter migrants, though, but what is normal if you've traveled thousands of kilometers and can virtually see britain, you're not going to give up boys, or 30 kilometers till the finish line. hundreds of migrants, a sheltering in this camp. 20 road mohammed is one of them. he says he and his brother fled government persecution in sudan 3 years ago. mohammed's dream is to study medicine in britain and become a doctor. coastal patrols he says, weren't stop him from trying to reach his destination. we do not have a choice through going throwing through your bill on the youth you or they'll warrant to do for us. if i how drill on going to thrive to do. mohammed's determination is not uncommon, says francesca, more assert, she works for an engineer, and believes britons new measures will only increase migrant suffering in calais. long all selina, dead last year,

news that illegal migrants in britain would be centered, wanda's sparked panic. at least 2 people took their own lives as a result of either. the patrol has returned from duty to the police station to night. they didn't catch any migrants preparing to make the crossing a show us a boat. they confiscated a few weeks earlier. is it only the this was in a smuggler vehicle 30? i, yes, it's a, it would up it's, you have how many migrants fit on about like this, at least 50. what is your response to british criticism? a french police. they're welcome to do better than that. they don't know what's going on here. they couldn't do any better. even with a lot more personnel, it would still be harder. think that's because francis channel coastline is

120 kilometers long. here in cali alone, the coast guard has to keep its eyes on a 30 kilometer stretch. and gerald canal, se migration analyst and the director of the european stability initiative, think tank, told us why so many migrants are trying to get into the u case specifically where good morning. it's important to put the number in context last year. france still had a lot more asylum applications. then the united kingdom, germany had many more. so in a way, this is just a normal phenomenon. people realize that if they try to cross the channel, if they get to the united kingdom, if they have a family they are, or if the smugglers tell them, it is easier to live there. and once they reach the united kingdom, they can stay there because not a single person has been returned from the united kingdom to france id the last

years. well, that is a for many, a reason to try. it's actually been a large number leaving france last year to the u. k. then arrived from all of africa to spain. so then what's your take, your personal take on the you case, new, illegal migration bell because the government for its part says that it's intended to deter people from a legally entering the u. k. but we've heard a representative from the you and hcr warning. it could lead to the collapse of the system of international protection for refugees. where i think 2 things are important. first, nobody needs to leave france. france is a safe country. so this is not a refugee issue. it is an issue of irregular migration on this. the united kingdom government is right, but secondly, why should all refugees stay in france and united kingdom should not offer as a signatory of the refugee convention any solidarity? the obvious solution to this is that france of the united,

the european union offer to take back doze, every one who leaves after the 1st of may in a boat and reaches the u. k. to take them back. they are safe. but then the united kingdom to offer a legal path for, well, let's say $40000.00 people a year that would still be less than france has asylum applications. and they can then apply to legally cross the idea that police or more money will stop this flies in the face of evidence on other borders. the french border with italy where lots of french control since 2015 has not led to less people crossing. because people can of course, try as many times as they want. we must not forget, there are people at the heart of this story like those who are stuck in college. what does being in limbo like best like, like the situation that you've highlighted there and the feeling of being unwonted due to their person,

to the ability to integrate and move on with one's life. well, i mean, a lot of these people come from and some of them would, of course, receive protection both in france and in the united kingdom. so some of them have been traumatized and then the attempt to try to cross and to risk your life. don't forget, people died on this crossing in november to 21. it was 30 people who drown. this is very a dangerous. it's also very bad for the french, a coastal communities because they have seen desperate people. a large numbers hiding in the woods or in wild camps for many, many years. i mean, this is really a shocking failure to democracies, france, and united kingdom could just get together and solve this issue. destroyed the smugglers model. you don't need rwanda. you only need an understanding between the united kingdom and france that creates both legal ways and makes sure that people who have, for example, relatives or family a,

one of the women who died in 2021 bross from iraq. she had a visa for italy, she tried to get to her fiancee in the united kingdom, but there was no legal way. if there would be a place for individuals like that to apply and then to cross legally. both france, the european union and the united kingdom and above all desperate people like this would benefit. so the sooner we get away from this illusion that more police at this border will stop this, and repression will work in that border. and the sooner we embrace a policy that could work and all migration studies in recent years at borders in europe, show us what should be done and it's simply not being done. thank you so much for joining us and sharing your view on what is happening there, sharing that call to action. gerald klaus migration analysts and the director of the european stability initiative inc. tank. we appreciate your time. thank you. nasa has named

a crew of 4 for its artemus to space flight. they include the 1st female astronaut and the 1st black astronaut to take part in a lunar mission. and it will be the 1st crude voyage to the moon and more than half a century. for this is very different lineup to the crew that too, but in the apollo lending you know, there's a lot of media political twisting on this, but you've got your unusual crew given that the last time we sent people to the moon was 3 white american pirates bail ah, this girl will be the 1st to fly nozzles newly built already in the spacecraft. as early as next year. the ought of as to mission could not lend but even go into lunar orbit. but instead,
