as 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 person investigation. she stood our family so it was 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 he blinds, but as it trump made little acknowledgment of the drama,

as it unfolded outside the court house from 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 tramp falsified business records. why 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 narrow lag or home in florida. trump told supporters in a campaign style 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. trump is facing with several other investigations underway, which could result and fear that and more serious charges. it could force trump to make more court appearances between now and election day. joining me now is catherine to the ash brooks is a u. s. analyst at the baffles mon, the shift illness, the german think tank based here in berlin covered. trump has come out swearing this response to the arraignment. how serious are the charges leveled against him? look, the charges are serious. 45 percent of americans, according to a new. it's us a reuters whole happen to agree that $34.00 accounts are that can be linked to a potential criminal charge or something in that he's very serious and should weigh on the soldier as sold shoulders of this president. that being said,

he's republican and supporters still think it seems to think that this is something that they are ex president former president can kick ah, and that given the other lawsuits that are coming down the pike, as we just heard in your piece, this is a negligible one and that his legal team will be able to fight back and bite back i as is sort of the trump in style. no, a trumps indictments strangely as galvanized the republican party behind him. but further prosecutions have of the same or even stronger effect. well, i think this is basically a sort of a 1st mover piece because we've seen people who are traditionally critical of the president, including us, senator mitt romney or his former national security adviser, john bolton, who has been openly very vocally critical of the press, the former president himself poke holes into what they think is a weak case that cannot be said of the other cases. and particularly the federal

cases that are under investigation right now, which are the involvement of the former president in the january 6 attack on the heart of american democracy in the capital. and in also it is withholding of that of secret and classified documentation and mar lago. those will likely be larger cases. it will depend on how these will be sequenced. but you're right, the republican base at least has been very rallied by ad the last 4 or 5 days at trump's campaigns, as they've been able to raise almost up to $9000000.00 on the back of these 4 days . based on fridays, i indictment and then by that same token, 8 of 10 republicans right now in current pulling say they would still like to see donald trump as their candidate. and then possibly as their president in 2024. talk about that. how do you think all this will affect trump's chances of winning via next nomination and also the presidential election? my re luckily, there are

a few things that are longer than an american election cycle. we still have 20 months ahead of us, of campaigning. and as we mentioned, there are a number of lawsuits that could still rain down on the former president that might make things very difficult. we saw in the mid term elections that are even republican voters seem to turn away from some of the candidates that trump was putting in the ring because he seemed done with the kind of chaos that trump always pours on to the american political dynamic. so we'll have to see the degree to which this, you know, might sway the party in different directions. 20 months is a long, long time, much can happen here. but then it for this moment in time, trump will be trump, which is that he will use this for publicity, even if it's a negative publicity, that much is clear and he'll try to ride this way for as long as he can. he will catherine clover ashbrook, bear from the battle's mon foundation. thank you very much. my pleasure. violence has erupted inside the alex. i'm also in jerusalem as israeli police and

the compound to remove people. they described as agitators for destiny. and so security forces for stung grenades outside the mosque. israeli authorities cleared the building, making more than 350 arrests. tensions were highly anticipated this month as the muslim holy month of ramadan overlaps with a jewish holiday of passover. the laxom oscar is considered one of islam holiest shrines and rests on the walled hilltop known to jews as the temple mount. and is judas mes most revered site, an eruption of violence in the heart of one of jerusalem's holiest sites. israeli police say the clashes broke out when they were forced to enter the l. x the most, where mass you had barricaded themselves inside, armed with fireworks 6 and this city provided by the israeli police

muslims. and of course, everybody in the region also watching that many muslims was very important for them of what is happening on this holy aside. especially now also during ramadan, in the old city. now there have been videos circulating on social media as well that appeared to show those feedings by police and lot of scuffles between police and the palestinians inside the mos, the israeli police put out a statement in the early morning thing and went in because paula soon youth had barricaded themselves to call them riotous and when fighting violence. and while entering stones and fire crackers were thrown at the a police forces. they have also been according to is very media reports over 300 people arrested. according to these reports, but is palestinian eye witnesses have said that there were praying in the monster where staying overnight, which is a common in ramadan for some time. and that this wasn't unnecessary, excessive force being used by the police inside
