also on the program fin. lindsey joins nato. the finished flag is raised as the alliance welcomes it's 31st member. on a day of ceremony and emotion, and brussels. and as britain presses ahead with controversial plans to crack down on my gratian across the english channel, we look at the situation from the french side of the border. ah, uncle, furnish welcome to the program. a former u. s. president under arrest donald trump has turned himself in and pleaded not guilty to criminal charges in court. in new york, trump entered the manhattan court room to be formally charged earlier. he showed little emotion when he waved crowds outside. he'd been driven in a motorcade from his new york residence a trunk tower. is facing charges linked to hush money payments,

allegedly made to an adult film actor in 2016. he denies any wrong doing. and for the very latest edaly is washington bureau chief venus paul is now outside the court building in manhattan. in his we're hearing trump has planned not guilty to 34 felony charge is what more can you tell us this is correct. see calling. this is quite a scene here. helicopters are cruising over the courthouse here in lower manhattan . hundreds of demonstrators pro and con donald trump are standing in front of the courthouse. the streets are blocked off. there are like a metal lenses all over to protect both sides of the political spectrum. and yes indeed, don trump has pledged kilted. we know that he's facing $34.00 charges and we're just learning a drums. indictment includes charges of hon hush, money paid tool tool. women,

so that would be in use as for now we only knew about one woman, but this is all like kind of breaking news. so we have to wait and see what we do. know that at this very moment, the former president of the united states is arrested in the court house right behind me. and if you've been out on the street for hours and you've been talking to people, what have they been telling you? yeah, and the atmosphere really got quite intense or throughout the course of the day in the morning it was quite calm, but then people really got aggressive. there was also like a little incident between one of the pro trumpets and a colleague from a media outlets. i talked to some, let's have a listen, what they had to tell me, want to make sure that president trump doesn't get run over by this attorney general brag. and, and it's a politically motivate which on against them. i think this is a very serious moment, right? now, and it's wonderful that he is being held accountable for the crimes that he's committed

. this is the 1st i'm sure of many indictments that's going to come his way. it's just gonna make us feel more our subaru. please see what's going on. if we don't have a child, we're next year next. i think the da did his job. he followed the facts in the fact led to an indictment. this wasn't a case where it was influenced. i don't think it's going to hurt him. i think we, the people stand for trump and that's why we're here today. so you see, be rich. we really has pretty much both side of the spectrum here. some say this is the absolute right thing. i to to that, to do, sorry, that no one is above the law is also another form or a president the other side. so it's, this is just kind of a which on that, the democrats just one to bring him down and make it more difficult for donald trump to re enter the white house in 2024. yeah, because he's not only a former president,

he's also aiming to return to being present in his this is just one of a series of investigations surrounding donald trump at the moment. how likely are his legal troubles to throw him off course politically that's true. there are other indictments, so some of them connected to him saying that the elections were written interfering with the election process. one is connected to the storm of the capital on january 6, i'm sure many of our viewers, remember these pictures spreading call. it is important to understand that here in the united states, someone who is indicted, even someone who is convicted is still able to run for president. and on top of that, it is pretty unlikely that we will see any conviction before november 2024. when the next president of the united states will be elected because this will be taking

time to president trump's lawyers will do everything kind of to extend the process of finding a conviction. in this case, the delay is anna's fall in new york on this truly historic day for the united states. thank you so much. and finland has become nato's 31st member. the alliance is headquarters in brussels, has seen a day of ceremony and emotion. finland's president, described the occasion as historic and nato secretary general said. the expansion shows that rush as attempts to weaken the alliance of backfired. finland's flag hoisted high over nato headquarters in brussels, and as anthem's ring out helsinki, waves good bye to it. security policy of the past, a move prompted to directly by moscow's aggression toward ukraine. the era of a military non alignment in our history has gone to an end,

a new era figures. each country maximize, he has its own security. so does finland. nato membership per strengthens our international position and to room for maneuver. nato allies take a collective defense pledge under which an attack on one is viewed as an attack on all that means finished troops are no bound to protect other members of the military alliance. and finland, which shares a long border with russia, can no count on back up from nato allies like the united states, france and germany. this is the day of joy because sir finland is se gaining more security and nato is getting stronger by the membership of finland. but we plan that finland and sweden could join together. they couldn't sweden and

finland both applied for membership last year. but no stock home has been left standing on the sidelines. it's been held up by our political tiff after turkey accused. we didn't of offering safe haven to terrorists. hungary to has been holding out on ratification a source of frustration for the swedish foreign minister. we would like to see this happen as soon as possible. there is no reason for neither the turkish parliament or the hungarian parliament to make any for further delays. russia used nato as a threat to its security and wants key of bard from ever joining. the alliance insists its door remains open, but there is no clarity on when ukraine may be invited to walk through it. for no nato nations said they'll keep arming t if. as this alliance grows from 30 to 31 worn out from our correspondent, terri sholtes in brussels, who's been at the nato headquarters all day long. terry, a pretty significant date for nato was in it,

walk us through the highlights. it definitely was a big day for nato. this is a day that even 2 years ago we could not have imagined happening in finland was, was quite content to be non aligned, militarily, believing that this was safest for it. sharing a border with russian and not wanting to invite more russian threats. at the same time, once russia invaded ukraine, all bets were off in finland's entire perspective on its own security changed. so definitely washing that flag b. b rays that nato headquarters today. i think it was an emotional moment definitely for the fins, but also for a lot of people watching finland take this historic step. i know that everyone around me thought it was. it was very momentous. but the accession of finland also leaves a couple of other countries wanting to get into the alliance. wishing that they had joined along with finland and that's not to sweden is also ukraine,

which has been promised that it will eventually become a member of nato. let's hear what secretary general yann's children brake had to say to ukraine, which is asking to be led in as well. you crane will, the corner i'm a member of the alliance to thesis been stated again, again at night was on it's at the same time you all realize that for it to make any meaningful progress on this issue. or the 1st step is to ensure that ukraine prevails as a sovereign in the been station. and the answer is why earn a dollar's importance are providing unprecedented level of support firm. and we'll continue to continue to do so. and why are we are also are in constant litrell's contract with the ukrainians and surprising training. and terry rushes full scale invasion of ukraine prompted finland to abandon its decades old policy of non

alignment and join nato. were the fins afraid they might be? next? i went to finland shortly after the invasion, to talk to them about this and in stories for, for d, w and what they were saying at the time. and this was before they had made the decision to join the alliance, is that after the invasion of ukraine, it wasn't necessarily so that they believed russia would come after finland next. but that they could no longer rule it out. and for decades, finland had been quite content to quite felt quite secure in its policy. it did not believe that russia would come across the border, but that was no longer certain after this invasion of ukraine. so in fact, even while they didn't, they weren't certain that russia would come after them next. and certainly their hopes of joining the defense a line soon. and all of those answers lie in ankara because while hungary also has not yet ratified sweden's membership, it the problem really lies with the turks and turkish president trust type air to one has said he does not believe sweden has done enough to join the alliance. even

as nato secretary general stilton burge and the other allies point out that sweden has fulfilled the pledges it made in a trilateral agreement made with turkey and finland at the madrid summit last july . so i think everyone thinks that there may be some loosening of the turkish position after the the elections in may. but that's the only hope now because sweden says it's done everything it can to change turkey's mind. now in finland, of course, wanted to join in order to to secure it's border, but they also bring a lot to the table. right. so what, what value does finland bring to nato now that it's a member? there are some very interesting things about finland in this respect. it is one of the best equipped militaries in all of europe, perhaps in all of the world because they intended to defend their territory alone forever. and so they were quite equipped to do this. all, all men of military age are trained,

they remain in the reserves. many women as well. it has one of the largest artillery stockpiles in all of europe. and so, fin, linda has already trained with nato for decades. there's, there's that they're very interoperable with, with nato's military. in fact, it was almost instantaneous that finland passed all of the obligations, all of the requirements that nato has for a new member. it was simply getting the ratification of all 30 other members that has held up the membership until this day. but it was still the fastest succession process in nato's recent history, the w corresponding terry shields many thanks. for the other side of things. let's bring andy w correspondence say, gosh the man ascii. he joins me now from riga, where dw has been operating since we're banned from russia. j got, how is the kremlin reactor to fill in succession? nicole on the military level of the russian defense minister said you shall go,

said that this move increases the potential of escalation in ukraine. but also already yesterday, russia said that it will increase the movie to recap abilities on its own military capabilities in the regions close to the border within. and today the spokesman of the russian president nicholas coff said elaborated on that. he said that russia will be observing and reacting to nato's moves in finland. so. busy it is a quite a reactive posture if your issue is you want is as just saber rattling or, and are we actually going to the russia up the anti i think the depends on how russia interpret this politically. and i think politically, russia found itself in a sort of a paradox. you see, one of the reasons why russia said it's attacked, ukraine was to prevent what it sees as an encroachment of natal to its own borders

. now, as a result, finland joins the alliance of naples borders through nato's border with russia doubles. so the russia, the postman or russian president, can try to, to, he said that this on one hand, this movement isn't encroachment on russia's for security and interest. but on the other hand, it's a different case. finance is not as unto russian as ukraine as he put it. so he read you try to play down politically, i think, to get out of this paradoxical situation. yeah. so, and we'll get right back to you, stay with us for a minute while we move on to bella. ros where troops have begun. training on tactical nuclear weapons deployed on its territory by russia. the move has drawn widespread criticism, and according to the russian defense ministry and iskander em operational, tactical missile system has been delivered to bella, rosie,

and forces. they are begun training on how to use it. comes a day before president alexander lucas shanker said to me to president vladimir putin in moscow. i'm a broker now as you gosh, i want to ask you how worrying is this? this is a follow up for to vladimir, put in announcements from late march. and when he said that he wants to station tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of belarus. and then today we've heard about beller russian soldiers going to russia for training. we've also heard that apparently some bella russian jets were modernized in a way that they can now transport nuclear warheads. but we didn't hear anything about actually transporting the nuclear warheads from russia to bearers. and i think this points to the fact that there is still disagreement between russia and belarus is still in the making. and this will be something will be following close the when a like subtle gushing car goes to moscow tomorrow. exactly. he's heading there to

morrow. he will be there for 2 days of talk with vladimir putin. it sounds very much like there is lots to talk about. what can we expect is i think her i finger on one hand to put in both of them. they want to send this matters of message of unity of strength. you know, they, that russia is supporting it's l. i also as a sort of reaction to needles in expand nato enlargement today. so this will also come. this also comes in the time when russia is preparing for the expected ukrainian counter offensive. but on the other hand, i think this is, this really also shows that there is, there are still a lot of questions that the bull feeders need to talk about. we don't know who, who will, who, who is expected to operate the weapons stationed in belarus or we don't know who will have the ultimate command. so they will, there's a lot of things that they need to clarify and that we will be observing if and what

sort of agreements they will reach. christina, good speaking to you, joining us tonight from reger. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. russian suicide drones have struck the ukrainian city of odessa and overnight attack. defense forces, say they shot down 14 of the 17 iranian made, saw had to drones targeting the black sea port. one hit a local business, but there are no reports of any casualties. russian authorities have charged a 26 year old woman with terrorism in connection with the bombing of a cafe in st. petersburg blast killed, influential pro war blogger of blood. lemme to tar ski. the kremlin says ukraine was behind the incident. keith denies all involvement. at least one person has been killed of dozens more injured in a train crash and the netherlands authority say a high speed night train derailed after hitting construction equipment left on the

though. but what this will know if you've traveled thousands of kilometers and can virtually see britain, you're not going to give up boys, or 30 kilometers to la 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 did not have a choice 3 going through your bill on the you see you or the old warrant to do for us. if i, how drill on going to try 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, belong also learned that last year,
