i'm gabrielle says welcome to the program. the former us president donald trump has pleaded not guilty to criminal charges in court in the york. he faces 34 council falsifying business records that are linked to hush money payments that prosecutors say he orchestrated. trump says that charges are baseless and part of a political campaign against him. oh, 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 keep lines. but as it

trump made little acknowledgement of the drama, as it unfolded outside the court house from inside, he entered not guilty, pleased 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 maryland or home. and florida. trump told supporters in a campaign styles speech that the charges against him were 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 court in december, but it's not the only legal drama. trump is facing several other investigations underway, which could result and further and more serious charges. they could force tramp to make more court appearances between now and election day. and joining me now from new york city is dummy talks of his political scientist and want to talk a bit more about yesterday's arraignment. now donald trump is already back on the attack of yesterday. how serious are the charges that are leveled against him? i am firing me. yeah, i think i'm not a legal experts, but i think he is widely believed that these charges brought against from yesterday . i'm not as severe as a potential charges against them in other cases,

like in that case in georgia, where he might be accused of the election to fit errands and the initiating is he elect a steam, a still costs these are his new york no. will entangle him and eager from us in the next year, and after this in the middle of the campaign and across from will across the title . and that in this campaign now very strangely from st. indictment has actually galvanized the republican party base behind him if other charges are being brought against him, which they will later. are they likely to have the same effect? i think so. yeah, i mean it's heating up the base right now. i think you can see this already. you with this one, kate, and the more indictments against drunk across that tape into this one. this because you can see that already within the republican party, they don't really have

a choice hockey party in. and i think that brings them into trouble right now because you try to get us to be the fate other resides in the little lex november. and now they need to back in and i think they know that the trans contin well, it strikes him. his campaign walk through the legal troubles mean for his 2024 election aspirations. i think he would take advantage of that and i think he will benefit from it. i think the only problem he has of course, is have poor i think, figure. and he won't get any new potential us on. with this case, there's a lot of the depends. there are just tired of all the chaos of trump and they don't want to vote for him and they don't want the presidency. so i think in the end it

will also benefit to find the campaign if you, once again in this run against on the trump. because i think he knows that a lot of people that are basically independence. somewhere between the democrats and republicans that they will never now and that's have a look at the mood in the country. do you see the risks that at these legal cases, against a former president for the 1st time in history will further erode the trust in democracy? i think the one site, yes, on the republican is for sure. i think that there has been one thing that trump has been very successful in this presidency is sort of undermined the trust in the political institutions. and i think this will continue. now. i mean, this is very much seen as a hombre justice system into a campaign and refer to it in the political institutions on the

republican side of the republican base, political scientist, dominic talk, stop that. thank you very much for your inside. thank you. tensions are running high after violence erupt inside the are ok, some mosque in jerusalem, israeli police say they arrested more than 350 people after moving in to remove people whom they say had barricaded themselves inside the building. palestinians of choose israeli security forces of using excessive force against worshippers. the classes come as the muslim holy month of ramadan. ramadan overlaps with a jewish holiday of passover. the alexa mosque is considered one of his lambs, holiest shrines, and rests on the wall hilltop known a jews as the temple mount and is judah is most revered site an erection of islands in the heart of one of jerusalem,

holiest sites. israeli police say the clash is broke right? when they were forced to enter the acts and mosque where mass kids had barricaded themselves inside. i'm with fireworks sticks and stones. this fatigue provided by the israeli police appears to show people setting off firecrackers. the palestinian red crescent says at least 12 worshippers were injured in what one eye witness described as a brutal assault by israeli forces. is them in the yard the eastern part of the most? the police were firing tear gas and stun grenades. it was a scene that i can't describe than the police stormed in and started beating every one of the detained people. and they put the young men on their faces to the ground . they also beat them, loaded up at one room with one of the violin soon reverberated beyond jerusalem when palestinian militants fired rockets from the gaza strip towards

israeli territory. hours later, israel shot back launching airstrikes in gaza. for now, neither side appears willing to stand. dang israelis far right. national security minister, it's mar, bank of year. praised the police, his actions are saying they did a good job. meanwhile palestinian militant grip hamas called on palestinians to go on mass to the al acts and mosque to defend it. leaving millions to fear, there'll be no peace this holy season. all correspondence on the chroma is an jerusalem and she told us how the test situation that the all ok, some mosque actually started as well. i see seen in the report in are pretty

violent scenes there overnight or from the alex the most compound or. and inside the alex on lawson is where the police stormed inside into the mosque. this is the 3rd holiest side for muslims. and of course, everybody in the region also is 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 our palestinians inside the mos, the israeli police put out a statement in the early morning saying it went in because police soon youth had barricaded themselves to call them riotous and when fighting violence. and while entering stones and firecrackers were thrown at the of 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 masa. we're staying overnight, which is a common in ramadan some times. and that this wasn't unnecessary, excessive force being used by the police in at a holy place. now the violence has already spread beyond jerusalem with tensions also bawling over in garza and the west bank. what can you tell us about something that especially i from garza overnight and a reaction to that other where a civil barrage of rockets being fired by militant groups and gaza to with southern communities. i am in the south of israel, around the gaza strip, or at least 10 of those rockets have been fired there. and some of them are lending an open field. some have been intercepted or by the are and doom defense system, according to the israeli army. now hemisphere, which is ruling of the gaza strip,

has called for more protests and demonstrations. but we also understand you from reports in the media that are, you know, it also seems that neither side really wants to see an escalation at this point in time right now. but again, it all depends what is happening here in the old city in jerusalem is tonya canada reporting from jerusalem. thank you very much. tonya ukraine's president folemi zalinski is in neighboring poland, on an official visit, is polish counterpart. andre duda received him at a ceremony in the presidential palace in warsaw. poland has been a close and vocal ally of ukraine's it has provided vital military support and welcome to some 1600000 refugees from across the border since the russian invasion began. that were the evening zalinski will meet some of those refugees, but all correspond, christine montoya joins us now from

a war. so christina landscape has been busy today. what's, what's been happening? that's right here. hard. well, he's county locked in a meeting with the polish president, angie studer, or where they are discussing a broad range of issues related to the economic corporation, the reconstruction of fe, ukraine, as well as security. of course this in the context of that offensive their counter offensive at the ukrainians are preparing for an important here to note. as you are highlighting that poland has really been one of ukraine's biggest military donors. it's not far behind the us and, and, and the u. k, in terms of its commitment and, and how it's been railing and mobilizing within the european union and within nato, for more weaponry to be sent out to ukraine. it's, it's lead by example, it sending tanks and, and other sort of weaponry and, and the advantage here has been that the weapons that the polish have sent over is their soviet style era,

kind of weaponry that the ukrainians would know how to use that he's going to lace of course and meet also with the prime minister imitation. more of your ski, as well as addressing a ukrainian refugees who are here and, and polls as well. now these refugees and he'll be meeting, or tonight he'd be fled to poland or in the past year, do we know what his messaged for them will be? well we know that he is come to personally deliver a thank you to the polish people for the solidarity that they have shown with ukraine. ah, it's believe that there are sin about a 1000000 ukraine refugees that are in poland. and this is really just testament to the hospitality they've been given. yeah, of course millions passed through this country, but many more prefer to stay. i hear as they have been welcome to punch people open their doors and there's no indication that that has changed. a lot of the ukrainian refugees have basically settled here. so we know that our president zalinski will

be personally delivering a thank you to the polish people for their continued solidarity that they've shown with hickory, no humans the solidarity there, the sooner solidarity with the polish people are. are there any sign sat or was this solidarity for ukraine and ukrainians is actually waning and not at the moment i, if anything i there is continued support here and am that is, you know, you see that when you, when you talk to people around here, there is definitely a lot of solidarity for ukraine, but farmers have been protesting gearhart and that has to do with the grain imports from ukraine. there are now flowing into poland and into the rest of european union . of course that is now driving prices down. it's escalated to a point where to day the agriculture minister here has ended in his resignation. the issue being the european union recently took the decision to continue an arrangement where these grain are imports come in duty free. and so he is

protesting, of course, at that decision. and of course we expect that that is also going to be discussed in the meeting that zalinski is going to be holding with their poland leaders. but in terms of that solidarity that continued support for ukraine, that hasn't gone away, it's just obviously this issue now with the grain imports. and as other economic issues that have to do with that. did of your correspond casino amman, while they're reporting from the polish capital for us. thank you very much, christine. oh, ethan tanks, miss ireland fighter jets. without them. keith says it has little hope of retaking territory occupied by russian forces. but even in defense, the ukrainian army already faces a more fundamental problem. finally, ammunition to keep the weapons it already has firing. dw nicolai has been to the front lines in eastern ukraine to find out how the so called shell hunger is impacting the way this war is being fought. it takes many hands to load this

soviet howitzer, reckon twice as old as the commander in charge of it was the yeah, they have enough hands. there shows on what is ammunition. they being out gunned grains defense minister says the russian army is firing 4 times more shells. it's time to move this pretty over. cars doesn't stop the russian drives from seeing us, but it makes it a bit more difficult and gives us bit more time to talk to people in these positions. and in theory r o c, a target for russian strikes either you or then the soviet era grad rocket artillery system is far from cutting edge technology. but with a range of 40 kilometers, can fire over the heads of the ukrainian infantry and the trenches ahead and hold our freshen attacks. that makes these units a prime target for the russian army. this is redeem 7th grad look of this war overflow. marcenough also works with that. my last grad was like

a piece of swiss cheese. at the end with yoshi loaded holes and shrapnel with those . welcome. what you kept on going? what the book until the chassis? conked out? postal or solicit? now you're not on is the grads a less of a problem than the lack of ammunition? ukraine has used up decades worth of stocks in a year cave and its allies, and now scaring europe and beyond for more. there is no, we're just deal a week over out of action for days on end. we didn't have any missiles. we were just waiting to stocks. we're getting pakistan of the czech republic. they've been storage for decades. we have to re learn how to use them. lots of them don't reach their targets. we need shelves with the counter offensive ahead of. how are we going to protect our infantry? are we going to throw steaks at the russians of images or as we leave a demon his grad, you see this special vehicle used to away stranded tanks. comments idea.

this is where you craning only mechanics fight to keep museum age tanks. going to major shows as what shrapnel can do. this was even a direct hit came from a shell that landed meat his way in tighter. it will now have to be replaced, not something they can do here. one well, so all it what bit the kind of a feel. most of the time on that we are replacing seals pumps from on the ceiling with oil linklater popping up. grease tanks are only the pro globbed, they're being used much more intensively than anyone ever expected the queue more workforce, but just inaccurate of gifts. one of them is it with them as the lead people we meet, been closely following use of western battle tanks reaching ukraine. they're not expecting to see leopards or challenges here anytime soon. they simply aren't enough of them. you black bottom, we'll do the oil events. we'll finish this war fighting with soviet. okay, so, but there just isn't enough new western technology to go around a lot of those sledgehammers for crowbars and welding machines. believe that's what's going to get us through or with what i smell,

but i hadn't improvised parts made by hand of scrap the order of the day. factory books bears the exception. metro tells us his unit regularly sends teams across the country to head san where they're still finding russian armor almost half a year after moscow's army was kicked out. tank ammunition like this is a bonus. examples of the some gary, insulting messages left by recent crews, will return your call and watch it from when they come up with they didn't get a chance to fire that as much the still the one. well it does get these back soon enough. so with the body, we're all in use, a western military support. it's russia, that's an inverse and keeping these ukraine units in ammunition. and these men say they couldn't do without it. and i'll keep correspondence commonly father report and he joins me now here in the studio for change. welcome back to home base and nick. so this so called shell hunger. what kind of effect does that have on the day

to day fighting? i mean fundamental, when you talk to people of camera, they say we're not for this like a mission. they could have probably taken back to net already. and that, that kind of subjective isn't that what it's basically right now they're being gone for to one by the russians in terms of what they could. 5, they had maximum supplies, they could do $56.00 times more. i think it's also very different from right, right. you're sitting under constant fire and you're having to kind of way up every show that you know, send back. it just makes you feel very vulnerable. and it's the kind of sort of thing that the more complex expensive stuff like equipment is actually in better supply than the ammunition to go with it. well, in your report we saw ukraine soldiers using russian ammunition that they got their hands on is very firing. it back at them are running because that was extraordinary . i mean, we thought that the russian retreat from crystal last autumn was actually quite controlled and organized. but it seems like they abandoned huge amounts of check in place so that it's still being found. do you break with bottleneck is actually having enough money experts to make sure that safe to go in and take strip down,

spare part strip of ammunition. but it is just the fact that rush has been building up stockpiles of these ammunition for decades. and ukraine really started off the war with pretty low supplies. it's now just playing catch up all the time. it's always on the back. but having to compensate this lack of ammunition. now the u. s . has just announced more support for ukraine, much of which is to be spent on ammo. last month, european countries signed a deal to provide $2000000000.00 worth of ammunition to ukraine. is that going to be enough? and is there going, this is going to get there in time? well, this is interesting. if you look at what the americans been doing, they basically refused all the ukraine to month more high tech stuff. planes. they say, if you don't have a mission, you don't need planes, you know, back to basics, has been busy their message all along. i think it's question of timing right now. the americans been sending stuff that they have already produced for themselves, rather than waiting for it to be manufactured. but lots of western nature countries saying we don't have a capacity to give more of our stuff that we already have. we're going to have to pay money to a manufacturers and then sometime in the future, 69 months on the right, you might get it. but the question is capacity?

do they really have enough manufacturing capacity produce enough? recently we had the french saying they would send 2000 and shells a month to ukraine, which we compared to, you know, 56000 allegedly being fired every day. it's, it's just been. yeah, indeed it is not ukrainians in occupied russian territory have been want to get themselves to safety. can that be read as a sign that a counter offensive is on the way? i was kind of cautious with these public announcements last summer. we had lots to buttress own being the main target. and then we saw the queens moving to hockey 1st . i think definitely they're under pressure to show some results. they're worried that the western countries are supporting you can right now going to grow taller if they don't show that they are winners that they can do this. but in terms of timing, i think would be very careful to kind of expect anything too soon because they are still billions of nick while i have you here in berlin, you've been covering this war from the outset. what's your general feeling? how is it going in the defense of the crime is of the country?

i mean, i think you can some better than anyone expected, right. everyone's getting clear was going to collapse in 3 days. in western intelligence, jim intelligence gave them 0 choices. i think the question is, what is success? what is a win for you? great, is it sending the russians back to where they were on 24th every last year? is it getting back? i mean, i think that is kind of difficult and i think the government stuff doesn't really know what it sees as the kind of end goal for now. but for now, your brain is holding up. people are still going to fight. they're not having to be forced to fight in large numbers. and your western help is actually fine. you're picking up after more than a year. finally, these deliveries happy more readily on a big scale. so i think most your brains are fairly confident that they can keep going maybe another year or at least ok, of course, when they commonly there in the studio. thank you very much, nick. and we have some football news as well in the germany by munich half crashed out of the german cop after losing 2 fryeburg to one with a school tied 11 late in the match, binds to mama's yellow was cold,
