i'm gabrielle as well come 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 linked to hash money payments that prosecutors say he orchestrated. trump says the charges are baseless and calls them 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 hershey, an investigation. she stood our family to her. it was hundreds of millions of dollars, but our head, hillary trump, is facing $34.00 criminal charges in a new york courts. among other things, state prosecutors alleged the former president falsified business records in order

to conceal damaging information before his election. 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 affairs with why he, donald trump repeatedly make these false statements. the evidence will show that he did so to cover up crimes relating to the 2016 election map back at his marrow log. a home in florida. trump told supporters in a campaign style speech that the charges against him were 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 a judge in december,

but it's not the only legal drama trump is facing. there are several other investigations underway which could result in further and more serious charges, which could force trump to make more court appearances between now and election day . so donald trump has come out swinging in response to his arraignment. and earlier i spoke with political analyst catherine to the ashbrook on the bout. it's much stiff, stone, a german think tank here in germany, and also to tell us how serious the charges are that trump is now facing. but the charges are serious. 45 percent of americans, according to a new it's us, a reuters poll happened to agree that $34.00 accounts are that can be linked to our potential criminal charge or something. and that is very serious and should weigh on the soldier esl shoulders. of this president, that being said, he's republican. supporters still see it seem to think that this is something that

they are ex president from a 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. now trumps indictments strangely as galvanized the republican party behind him, well, 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 at poke holes into what they think is a weak case that cannot be said of the other cases. in particular, 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 they 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. we will catherine. clover asked robert from the battles mon foundation. thank you very much . chances are running high after violence or rotted inside the ox, a mosque in jerusalem. israel police say they've rested more than 350 people after

entering the mosque to remove people. bay describe as riotous. barricading themselves inside the building. for athenians, meanwhile, accuse israel the security forces of using excessive force against worshippers. the clash has come as the muslim holy month of ramadan overlaps with a jewish holiday of passover. the alex m oscars, considered one of his lamps holiest shrines. address on the walled hill took no to jews as the temple mount and as judah isms most revered, such an eruption of violence in the heart of one of jerusalem's. holiest sites. israeli police say the clash is broke out when they were forced to enter the al acts a mosque where masked youths had barricaded themselves in sight, armed with fireworks sticks and stones. this footage provided by the israeli police appears to show people setting out fire crackers. 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 mosque? the police were firing tier gus and stone grenades. hopefully it was a scene that i can't describe than the police stormed in and started beating every one. and they detained people and they put the young men on their faces to the ground. they also beat them. loaded up with 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 dw, correspond the tongue. the chroma is on the ground in jerusalem. and earlier she told us more about what actually happened at the alex, so mosque. well, i see seen in the report, you know, pretty violent theme there overnight are from the lrc. so most compound or, and inside the alex, on los, when it's ready, police stormed inside into the mosque. this is the 3rd holiest side for 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 our 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 firecrackers were thrown at the police forces. they have also been according to is really media reports over 300 people arrested. according to these reports, but is palestinian eye witnesses have said that there were praying in the masa where staying overnight, which is a common in ramadan some time. and that this wasn't unnecessary, excessive force being used by the police inside a holy. now the violence has already spread beyond jerusalem with tensions also

bawling over in garza in the west bank. what can you tell us with something that especially from garza overnight, in a reaction to that are there where cells barrage of rockets being fired by militant groups. some garza 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 landing in the open field. some have been intercepted or by v. r and dome a defense system, according to the israeli army. now how nice are just 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. done. it western tags,

missiles and 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 or more, much more fundamental problem, finding ammunition to keep the weapons it already has firing. dwy near connelly has been to the front lines in eastern ukraine to find out how's the so called shell hunger is impacting the way this war is being fought. with it takes many hands to load this soviet howitzer reckoned twice as old as the commander in charge of it was the rear of hands that shows on his ammunition. they being out gunned greens, defense minister says the russian army, his firing 4 times more shells. it's time to move this pretty over,

carson doesn't stop the russian drones 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 russians drugs that you are 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 or freshen attacks. that makes these units a prime target for the russian army. or this is redeem 7th grad of this war overflow. motion of with a works with substitute, but only, but law rad was like a piece of swiss cheese, at the end with the loads of holes from frat logan. what you mercy of. but buck nicholas kept on going till the chassis, conked out, postal, or solicit. now you're not on the grads, a little problem. the lack of ammunition. ukraine has used up decades worth of stocks in a year cave and its allies, and now's carrying europe and beyond. for more years there's no,

we're not understood or the opposed to just the other week. we used up all our ammunition. we had nothing. we couldn't do anything for 4 days. no bully was suitable. amunition scarcity affects us all. we desperately need shells. we have a counter offensive ahead of us, little chickens. how are we going to protect our infantry order? are we going to throw sticks at the russians instead? as we leave a demon his grad, you see this special vehicle use to to away stranded tanks. common so this is where you craning only mechanics fight to keep museum age tanks. going to meter shows us what shrapnel can do about this was i'm the direct. it came from a shell that landed meters away in tighter. it will now have to be replaced. not something they can do here. one know, little wallet. what bid to kind of fill most of the time on that we're replacing seals pumps from on the cd, with oil link with a bottle of grease tanks are only the pro globbed. they're being used much more

intensively than anyone ever expected. the q more export, but just an accurate out of gifts. one of them is it, but there must the lead to people we meet been closely following use of western battle tanks reaching ukraine. they're not expecting to see leopards hubble challenges here anytime soon. as simply aren't enough of them. you blood clot and we'll do the oil events. we'll finish this war fighting with soviet. okay, so what's the just isn't enough new western technology to go around or both sledgehammers for crowbars and welding machines? believe that's what's going to get us through or with what i smell, but on improvised parts made by hand of scrap the order of the day. factory bills bears the exception to metro tells us his unit. regularly sends teams across the country to head san where they're still finding russian armor was half a year after moscow's army was kicked out. tank ammunition like this is a bonus of them. there's some gary, insulting messages left by recent crews. when you're oh and what at the throne when

they come up with they didn't get a chance to fire that as much as the hulu and well do it. they'll get these back soon enough. so with the firm of the body, well, we're fool in use a western military support. it's russia, that's an inverse in the keeping these ukrainian units in ammunition. and these men say they couldn't do without it. and i'll keep corresponding economy father to board and he joins me now here in the studio for a change. welcome back to home base and nick. so this so called shell hung how, what kind of effect does that have on the day to day fighting? i mean, it's fundamental when you talk to people of camera, they say we're not for this like a mission. they could probably take him back, don't yet already. and that, that kind of subjective isn't that what it's basically right now that being out gun 4 to one by the russians in terms of what they could fire. if they had maximum supplies, they could do $56.00 times more. i think it just 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 sent 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 you great soldiers using russian ammunition that they got their hands on. it's very firing it back at them. are ironic is that was extraordinary. i mean we thought that the russian retreat from here, so last autumn was actually quite controlled. and organized, but it seems like they abandoned huge amounts of tech in bay so that it's still being found. you know, you break bottleneck is actually having enough money experts to make sure that safe to go in and take strip down spare parts strip off the ammunition. but it is just the fact that rush has been building up stockpiles of these emissions for decades. and ukraine really started off the war with pretty low guidance now just playing catch up all the time. it was 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 you. great. is that going

to be enough, and is there going? is it going to get there in time where this is interesting? if you look at what the americans mean 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 waiting for it to be manufactured. but lots of western, they to come to saying we don't have the capacity to give more of us after we already have, we're going to have to pay money to 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. now ukraine is in occupied russian territory. i've been warned to get themselves to safety. can 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 to go back to us on being the main target and then we saw the ukrainians. 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 building it was 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 cranium of the country? i mean, i think you train them 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 when v crane 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 itself doesn't really know what it sees as the kind of end goal for now. but for now, grant is holding up. people are still going to fight. they're not having to be

forced to fight in large numbers. and you know, 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 so at least. ok, of course, when they commonly there in the studio. thank you very much, nick. let's take a look now at some of the other news making headlines around the world. ukraine's president valona zalinski is in neighboring poland. he is meeting his polish counterpart, andre duda, as well as ukrainians who fled the war. poland is a key ally of keeps and has taken in around 1600000 refugees from across the border since the fighting began. french president manuel mccoys in china for a 3 day stay visit the war. and ukraine is at the top of the agenda that he will meet with chinese president. she didn't paying and an attempt to dissuade him from supporting russia. the use commission president on the line will also join the 2

leaders in beijing for further talks. more than 400 migrants, including women and children, have been rescued from an overcrowded fishing boat in international waters near malta. the charity doctors without borders said, it responded to a distress call with its rescue vessel and barking on 11 our mission in stormy conditions. to save the migrants, the rescue ship is now heading for italy. every year, in early april, the united nations marks the international day of mind awareness is estimated that more than $30000000.00 landmines have been left in the ground from conflicts around the world. one of the country's most seriously affected is iraq. who shot a lee has made clearing land mines. his life's work. he lost his legs 3 decades ago

when he stepped on one. since then, he says he has cleared hundreds of thousands of exclusives to prevent others from sharing his fate. am issue, i had that he, my work is extremely dangerous, but i'm able to do it thanks to my experience and my expertise. this is the good this region of not, and it og, one of the idiots, worst affected by minds and unexploded bombs from to eat on iraq. war of the 1980s, the ducal force, and the latest conflict with the so called islamic state, millions of unexploded bombs, the still lit of the ground. according to international expert, we've been talking about 2600000000 square meters. all areas that are contaminated through all the rat, with the most affected governance being basra, minima, my son. and, and we're gonna take to pashai who's willing to organization, not only clears land mines, but also days is of, in is one of the danger to pause,

including among children immediately when sometimes the children call me up when they find land mines while playing. if they're careful, then i know it's all worth it. how many will howard all land mines have not only cause to ashad ali, his legs to him, also kill his son and his brother. and the reason he keeps fighting day after day one mine at a time. i'll have some football news for you by munich, half crashed out of the german cup after losing 2 fryeburg to one the sport tide 11 late in the match by an jamal rosella, was called for a handful and fables. lucas earl stepped up unconverted from the town and spot. it means by and have failed to reach the semi france for the 3rd consecutive year. while i will hope to lift the trophy or the 1st time. as i am in the studio for more on that shocking exit from the german cup is pres

a huge victory for fryeburg, considering their record in munich. they've never won in munich. this was their 24th time. their shot and it finished to pretty much for the city of fryeburg in a frenzy and without question, you know, but all this is what the competition is all about. you know, it's expected to have a t get through it to one and done buyer, didn't it? did, didn't get it done now, and the german cup continues to nice crazed. what can we expect that? well we have, the cup holders are be alive, seek our be lives here. they are in competition. they actually defeated fryeburg their own penalties to win it to secure their german cup. so there's a competition. they host dormant, you know, doormen or licking their wounds after being defeated by our meeting. so there's a lot to go for the competition. frankfurt is still in it as well, you know, but there's a lot to look for to. there's always something thrilling to happen. and my,
