the universe and the rest of that were series. 40 to the answer. almost every thing this week on d w ah ah, this is d w's live from berlin. a dramatic and historic day as former us president donald trump, faces criminal charges. and i never thought anything like this could happen in america. that was thought it could happen. the only crime that i have committed is to fearlessly defend our nation from those who seek to destroy it.

trump lashes out after 34 kinds of business fraud are read out to him in new york city court. also on the program of finland, joins nato. the finish flag is raised, estie alliance welcomes it's the 31st member at a ceremony in brook. ah, i'm pablo foliage. welcome to the program. former u. s. president donald trump has pleaded not guilty to criminal charges in court in new york. he faces 34 kinds of falsifying business records, linked to hush money payments to 3 people which prosecutor say he orchestrator. trump dismisses the chargers as baseless and part of a political campaign against him. just hours after facing an unprecedented criminal

hearing. donald trump was back on the attack. this is a versus university. she's put our family to hell. it's close hundreds of millions of dollars to put our head over. trump had made a quick exit from new york. after fronting a manhattan court over $34.00 criminal charges. his every move across the country was tracked in media coverage and a case that's domination, national rest. what and international he blinds. but as, as it's trump made little acknowledgement of the drama, as it unfolded outside the court house inside he entered not guilty please. to all the charges which relate to hush money payments to a dorman and to women. he's alleged to have had a fears with prosecutors alleged trump falsified business records.

why did donald trump repeatedly make these fall statements? the evidence will show that he did so to cover up crimes relating to the 2016 election and back at his maryland, ohio, and florida. trump told supporters in a campaign style speech that the charges against him with politically motivated and baseless, never thought anything like this could happen in america, never thought it could happen. the only crime that i have committed is to fearlessly defend our nation from those who seek to destroy it. the case will be back before the courts in december, but it's not the only legal drama. trump is facing with several other investigations underway, which could result and further and more serious charges i could force, tramped to make more court appearances between now and election day or earlier. i

spoke to deed of use stephan simons in washington, and here he told us a bit more about all the day's events at at mar lago and in new york. all on the one. yes, that was a reli style event. i would call it that way and why? because it's basically the same old stuff. the former president is telling everybody who wants to hear it on any reli he had since he declared that he's gonna run for president again in 2024. of course that includes with we donald trump, everything was better when i was president, everything would be better if i was president, right. if i were president right now and yes, the u. s. justice system and everybody else pretty much in the united states as well as the current biden administration, has it out for him. that is basically what he said and her to applause and durham

young people liked saying this now, is that any new? no. and is it maybe for a clay and tell who it is concerning her to elect him again? also know, because i bet you they want to hear a little bit more than just him airing his grievances and they are a lot of stuff on let's talk a little bit about the charges. could you break them down for us and tell us how serious they are? what, how serious they are this interesting question because there are a lot of law experts to say like this is a fairly weak case. fairly weak case in comparison to the 3 others who cases which might see him being indicted in this. and this is the mar lager investigation, about the documents illegally removed from the white house. this is of course, the general 6 investigation desk just 2 out of 3. so that were there. and george,

of course, right that the infamous phone call to the secretary of state in search of 10000 something votes which he was missing to win the state anyways. those cases are pending and it's likely that he gets indicted there too. and those are more serious than the case we're talking about now. however, it is clear from the perspective of the prosecutor. otherwise, you wouldn't have brought this case from a grand jury. that means people like you and me, regular us citizens who's hurt the evidence and thought, yep, the former president did something illegal. he and what is that? he not only undermined the integrity of the 2016 presidential race. how did he do it? by falsification of business records, and that is the crime which is here. i'm going to be process going to be hurt by a judge stephan. what about the legal proceedings? what happens next?

next thing is that the prosecution, the district attorney, has to push all the evidence. all he has to the defense lawyers off the truck because they have the right to see this. this has to be happening in the next 45 to 65 days. then they have the chance and they will of course, file motions to the court after have seen what the evidence is against their client . and that has to happen until august, or in august and until the end of september, the prosecution then the district attorney of manhattan has then time again to rebuttal or to you know, answer on those motions in the defense has filed. and then last but not least, the next court hearing is scheduled for december december 4th. stephanie, there's been no gag order placed by the judge on anyone involved in the proceedings . but trump has always been quite vocal about his feelings, which we've just seen at his speech there in florida. he didn't hold back. now

after seeing him react to the charges, do we have any indication of the strategy he'll use to defend himself? yeah, i say i think he held back a little bit because normally if you get the real real trump firm, he is lashing out much harder and much worse than he did just to night. however, though, and you know, i think the lawyers, his lawyers will have told him, must have told him like mr. trump, you need to turn it down. the judge has not issued a gag order. recognizing that you're running for another bit in the presidency for 2024, but you cannot really go hard after the judge or the prosecutor or any no officer of the court involved in this case. you are trump. um, you know, he held back but still he called if i remember this correctly, the a justice system, a fake basically right after him. and he says that he has

a quote hating judge and trumpeting prosecutor. i do not think that this sits too well with the judge presiding over this case, and i'm absolutely sure lawyers will have a talking to him and tell him like, please mister former president, keep it down, keep it civil. don't do that. thanks. 77, simons. in washington let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. is ready. please have clashed with palestinians in the aisle at a mosque in jerusalem. police and they came under attack from fireworks and stones after moving into the mosque to remove people, they described as agitators. several 100 people had barricaded themselves in the mosque after ramadan prayers.

his railey military says palestinian militants have fired a number of rockets from the gaza strip towards israel. the id f says it intercepted 4 and 4 more landed on open ground. rocket warning. sirens were triggered and several israeli cities surrounding garza, rues parliament, has voted against impeaching president dina, but a lot of the left to step it is want to aster over the death of more than 50 people in protests since december. those protests were sparked by the impeachment and removal from office of boe out of his previous after the leftist pivotal castillo. inconsequence, yeah, no, i see though, i mean finland has become nato's 31st member. a ceremony was held at the alliance's headquarters in brussels, finland's president, described the occasion as historic and nato secretary general said. the expansion shows that russia's attempts to weaken the lines of backfired. finland flag hoisted

high over nato headquarters in brussels and as anthems ring out helsinki, waves good bye to 8 security policy of the past. a move prompted directory by moscow's aggression toward ukraine. the era of military non alignment, you know, of history has come to an end, new era figures. it's contrary, maximizes 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 backup 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 a political tiff after turkey accused sweden 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 over hm gary and parliament to make any fall further delays. russia used nato as a threat to its security. and once 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, so pretty significant for nato, we asked our correspondent terry schultz in brussels for more. it definitely was a big day for nato. this is a day that even 2 years ago we could not have imagined to happening in finland was, was quite content to be non aligned, militarily, believing that this was safest for it. sharing a border with russia and, and not wanting to invite more russian threats. at the same time, once russia invaded ukraine, all bets were off and felons 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 fence, 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. he does use terry, she'll speaking to a surveyor from brussels, that researchers working in the japan trench in the north pacific ocean have set a new record, namely the deepest filming of a fish in history. and here's the record breaking footage. a lonely juvenile form. juvenile from an unknown snail fish. species caught on camera at a depth of more than a 1300 meters just a few days later and not quite so deep. the scientists used bated cameras to film a few more of them. it's part of a 10 year study to find out which fish species are lurking in the deep dark waters

of the north pacific. here's a reminder of the top story we're following for you. donald trump has told supporters he's facing persecution, non prosecution. after learning details of criminal charges, he faces from part 34 kinds of falsifying business records in court in new york city. the charges relate to the alleged payment of push money to $3.00 people before the 2016 presidential election. all right, well that's all for me for now you can say up to date all the davis news on our website, tito view dot com. thanks for watching. take care. thank you . cream was like a stepping point. you know, pie book you in so that would you want to be finish your studies. now you have a sandy from the train. you can choose to go back or somewhere else. currently, more people than ever on the move. mold white in such a better life. yeah. give me something who it is.
