there tonight. coming out of the alex, i'm most compelled inside the i'll ask x, i'm ask, which is the 3rd holiest side of for muslims around the world. so everybody is of course of course watching what is happening there with israeli police storming inside the mosque. the videos circulating on social media as well that a lot of scuffles and also beatings of people inside the mosque. now the israeli police issued a statement this morning saying that a palestinian youth had barricaded themselves as you said, and when citing violence. and while entering stones and firecrackers were thrown at the police forces coming into the mosque. now piloting an eye witnesses say that they were praying inside the moscow. they were staying there overnight. and that this was an excessive and unnecessary use of force in unholy place. to the violence is already spread beyond jerusalem with reports of clashes also and the

gaza and gaza and the west bank. what can you tell us about situation there while it comes at a time of hide intentions are ready. you seen this now for the past of year, actually. their reports coming in from some clashes in an area in the occupied westbank. but also from garza, the reaction there overnight, militants of fi it a barrage of rockets at communities and southern israel, and the israeli apples has carried out as tribes in the early morning hours. we also understand that hamas, the militant group ruling garza has court for must demonstrations. now this comes out a particularly sensitive time course, tanya, during both passover and ramadan are, is that fueling tensions? why mean that is? so of course, the concern, as you said, a at the moment and muslims via the holy month of,

or celebrating the holy month of ramadan at the same time to day or 2, it is very leesville mark in the beginning of pass over with the cedar evening and i have been concerns that, you know, all these festivities coming together. there will be also the western eastern being a celebrated this weekend. all of this coming together in the old city in east jerusalem that you know, this could be leading to some more tensions and escalations. and that's why also we had, you know, very sharp reactions from a jordan, the neighboring country of jordan, which is seen as the custodian of the holy sides to have strongly condemned the violence that be seen overnight at the alex. almost compound as well as also the palestinian authority. johnny, thank you very much. our corresponded tonya cray,

miller in jerusalem. now to the u. s. san for president. donald trump has pleaded not guilty to criminal charges in court in new york. he faces $34.00 counts of falsifying business records, linked to hush money payments that prosecutors say he orchestrated trump says the charges are 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 eugene investigation. she's put our family so 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 domination national rest. what and international keep lines, but as, as a trump made little acknowledgement of the drama, as it unfolded outside the court house from inside he entered not guilty, pleased to all the challenges 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 false statements? the evidence will show that he did so to cover up crimes relating to the 2016 election back in his maryland or home in florida. trump told supporters in a campaign styles speech that the charges against him with politically motivated

and baseless. i 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 trumpets facing with several other investigations underway, which could result and further and more serious charges. it could force trump to make more court appearances between now and election day. and joining me down here in berlin is catherine cooper. ashbrook from the battles munched of tone. that's an independent think tank based in germany. catherine trump has come out swinging in response to his arraignment. how serious are the charges leveled against him? well, look, this is going to be for the manhattan da alvin brag to make over the run of the

case. but of course, the former president was brought into this case by a jury of his peers. they felt that the $34.00 points made against him could in fact amount to a felony and not just a series of misdemeanors, which usually is something that falsifying business documents might fall under. but we just heard that manhattan da say, look, this will be linked to a secondary crime, and that will be up to manhattan. d. a to prove as part of this process. but it is a bit of a legal gamble and we'll see the trump legal team try to poke holes into that connection and that will be the substance of the case trumps indictment. catherine has galvanized the republican party behind trump will further prosecutions have the same effect to you. thank. well, it will all depend on when the prosecutions come and the gravity of these prosecutions. but you're absolutely right. has been interesting to see over the last couple of days, how even the president's harshest critics from within the party i'm thinking of

senator mitt romney and his former national security advisor. john bolton, have actually rallied out to the side of the president. not because they support donald trump as another a for another term, but on the merits of the case. so they say, and you're right, his base, the republican voters, are as energized as ever. his campaign has put out numbers that just in a short amount of time. in about a week since the indictment and then now arraignment, they've raised over $7000000.00 and campaign contributions and republican voters seem to be breaking $8.00 to $108.00 out of 10 for the former president. i am putting rhonda santas, possible challenger governor of florida way in the back seat. so it seems at least this moment right now is galvanizing the republican base. but an election cycle in the united states is long. and if more of these cases are brought forward, particularly the case in georgia on election fraud and the examination,

the federal examination of the former president's involvement in january 6 attack. that of course could shift the shift the gamut. so you see this as giving, putting some wind in the sales of donald trump campaign to win election next year, looking ahead to the election. could we really see trump and biden, facing off with trump, having a prospect of getting back into the white house? well, there's an if so some writers pull out the, came out just about a day ago and 45 percent of americans, the entire american electric. so almost half of the country think that these are very serious crimes. and that for that reason, this man to not be put back into the oval office. it will really depend on these election cycles or the run up to a federal action is always long. we have 20 months to go. how he battled through the swamp. but his narrative that there is something deeply wrong with the american legal system seems to be resonating with his base and some parts of the independent

. but again, there is still, at least at this moment, a larger part of and leading larger part of the american electorate. it thinks that this man, so is nothing but chaos. we saw actually out in the mid term elections where people did not follow trump's recommendations in terms of his candidate. people did not want to see trump and trump like figure it back in public office to 20 months long . we'll see what happens. but right now it's really the country remains. we split on donald trump, candidates her for 2024 who she'll change. catherine. thank you so much. that was catherine clifford aspect from the bethel sponged it, though. now to be able, ruth's where troops have begun training on tactical nuclear weapons deployed on its territory by russia. the move, who has drawn widespread criticism, according to the russian defense ministry, and thunder gander em operational, tactical missile system has been delivered to bell russian forces. they begun

training on how to use it a day before president alexander lucas shank meets the president in moscow. multiple spots on earlier we asked w, corresponded drag josh semanski. how worrying this move is by russia, as this is a follow up for to vladimir, put in announcement from late march. and when he said that he wants to station tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of belarus. and 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 russian bella versus doing the making. and this will be something will be following closely with

a like subtle cache anchor goes to moscow. tomorrow you are watching d. w. news. just a reminder of the top stories that we're following for you. this. our violence has erupted after israeli police entered jerusalem's. alex a mos police say they moved in to dislodge agitators who had barricaded themselves inside, with fireworks sticks and stones, the palestinian islamist movement. hamas calls the police action an unprecedented crime. and donald trump has told supporters that he's facing persecution, not prosecution. after learning details of criminal charges he faces, the former president pleaded not guilty to $34.00 counts of falsifying business records in court in new york is accused of falsifying documents relating to the
