ah, i've got elf as well come to the program. the former u. s. president donald trump as 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 prosecutor say, he orchestrated trumps as the charge as a 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 hershey and this gauge. she's put our family to hell. it was hundreds of millions of dollars to defend. but our head, hillary trump, is facing 34 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, pleased 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 donald trump repeatedly make these false statements. the evidence will show that he did so to cover up crimes relating to the 2016 election oh, back at his morrow. log. a home in florida. trump told supporters in a campaign style 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 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 . and earlier i spoke with political analysts, her catherine clover ashbrook from an independent think talk here in germany at asked to tell us how serious the for me was president's charge. i saw that the charges are serious, 45 percent of americans, according to a new it's us rotors. paul 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 and supporters still see it seem 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. now 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 then also it is withholding of,

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 is there any prime minister benjamin netanyahu says is working to calm the situation after violent clashes at the all. ok, so mosque and jerusalem tension between israelis and palestinians has been soaring after police clashed with people inside the mosque. and he say they were forced to enter the building. considered mother is lambs, holiest sites. to remove those, they described as riotous. barricading inside the move has sparked anger across the

middle east with palestinian allies, accusing israel of using excessive force against worshippers. 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 al acts and mosque, where masked youths had barricaded themselves in sight, armed with fireworks sticks and stones. this fatigue provided by the israeli police appears to show people setting off fire crackers. a 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 stung grenades. 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. the 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 ear praised the police, his actions 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. o correspondent atanya kraemer is in jerusalem and she told us more about what actually happened at the alarm. well, i see seen in the report, you know, pretty violent themed. their overnight or from the alarm almost compound or. and inside the alex on lawson is 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 mosque. 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 and excessive force being used by the police inside a holy place now has already spread beyond jerusalem with tensions also bowling over and gaz on the west bank. what can you tell us? well, something that especially i from garza overnight and reaction to that other where cell barrages of rockets being fired by militant groups and gaza to the 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 v. r and dome defend system, according to the israeli army. now hon us just ruling 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 did understand your time of their reporting from jerusalem. thank you very much, tonya time now to have a look at some of the other news making headlines around the world today. more than 400 migrants, including women and children, have been rescued from a fishing boat in international waters near molt up the charity doctors without borders says it sent a distress vessel. the ship is now heading for italy. media

reports in italy say the former prime minister, silvio berlusconi, is an intensive care in milan with heart problems. the a 6 year old media tycoon has suffered bouts of ill health and recent years and has been in and out of hospital. belzoni leads the right wing for italia party, which is part of a t ally of caves and has taken in around 1600000 refugees from across the border since the fighting began. western tanks, 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 a more fundamental problem, finding ammunition to keep the weapons it already has firing, did up years. nick connelly has been to the front lines in east and ukraine to find out how the so called shell hunger is impacting the way this war is being fought.

so 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 there. shoot on what is a mission that being out gunned greatest offense. mr. says the russian army is 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 within 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 of fresh and attacks that makes these units a prime target for the russian army. other. this is redeem 7th grad of this war. a

performance analysis works with those cases, but only, but law rad was like a piece of swiss cheese, at the end of the loads of holes from frat on all them. what you are, buck nicholas kept on going till the chassis, conked out postal, or was it now you're not on any of the grad alicia problem? 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 years there's no, we're not understood other boys who just the other week, we used up all our ammunition losses. we had nothing. we couldn't do anything for 4 days. lib, lib suitable. ammunition scarcity affects us all. we desperately need shells. we have a counter offensive ahead of us, ludovico. how are we going to protect our infantry? although, are we going to throw sticks at the russians instead? as we leave a demon his grad, you see this special vehicle used 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 upon 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 right now. what's the wall and what became of feel? most of the time, we're replacing seals pumps from on the ceiling with oil linklater popping up. grease tags are only keep the pro globbed. they're being used much more intensively than anyone ever expected. but tomorrow it's bought by just like a total of gifts. one of them is it. but there must that lead to people. we meet being closely following use of western battle tanks reaching ukraine. they're not expecting to see leopards. i will challenge is here any time soon. it simply aren't enough of them. you buy a lot and we'll do the oil events. we'll finish this war fighting with soviet. okay, so it was just isn't enough new western technology to go around a lot of us 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 bill spares the exception to metro tells us his unit regularly sends teams across the country to head san where they're still finding russian army oh, half a year after moscow's army was kicked out tank ammunition like this is a bonus samples of the some car insulting messages left by recent crews will return your call in, but at the tone when they come up with they didn't get a chance to fire that as much as the who well do it, they'll get these back soon enough. we to further. but if i were rule in use a western military support, it's russia, that's an inverse in keeping these ukrainian units in ammunition. and these men say they couldn't do without it. nato secretary general against stoughton back has pledged the alliances,

long term support to ukraine. as natal 2nd day of talk comes to an end, he said the alliance will be developing a program to bring ukraine's military up to natal standards. suttonberg also touched on sweden's pending membership, an increase in defense spending on the 2nd, china's growing alignment with russia concerns growing in they took that aging may be considering supplying arms to moscow's war effort. now let's free and our correspondence. terry shows who's at nato headquarters following this story for us . terry, what did you make of those statements from sogba? yes, ukraine, very much. wanted to use the momentum from finland to becoming the 31st al i yesterday to remind everyone that it too has a pledge from nato that it will eventually become a member. and ukraine is saying no better time than the present. the best way you can help us win this war is to make us an ally. that's not, not something that's going to happen any time soon. many, if not,

most allies would be unwilling to bring in a country who has a live war on its territory. but the allies therefore focused on what more support they can give to ukraine, and secretary general stilton berg said, we have no choice but to help ukraine win this war. we cannot let vladimir putin continue chipping away at european security. now the stalk mug also mentioned shine that he described any help to russia from china, was quote, a mistake. what did he mean by that? that's right. these accusations that china may be considering sending lethal aid to russia to help in its war against ukraine are not new. we've been hearing that for some months now, but it seems to be the case that china has not yet actually made the decision to do that. that's where the secretary general's told hamburg said to day that they have not seen proved that china has transferred weapons to russia, but the warning could not have been more stark to day. he said, china do not do this. this would be a huge mistake. and he said that all allies have made that case to china

bilaterally, including, he said pointedly, the united states, saying there would be serious consequences if beijing made that move during nato has also express worries about beijing stance towards taiwan. what's the impact of the ukraine war on the in the pacific region? absolutely, no. now that we've seen russia invaded neighbor ukraine, it certainly seems to have lowered the threshold and, and reminded everyone that it's international laws may not be respected. and so there has been a lot more concern about beijing's aggressive stance toward taiwan. and one of the reasons is not simply because it would be really inconceivable to see beijing launch a war on taiwan. but that so many assets of the united states in particular, are now invested in helping you crane. not, of course, inside ukrainian territory, but in shoring up of nato's eastern flank. so that if, if united states needed to again shore of another part of the world,

it would be severely stretches, military would be severely stretched. remember, we've seen the united states say time and again, that is going to pivot to asia. and somehow, europe brit keeps its attention right here on this continent. so this is something that's very much a concern. would there be enough military power enough military assets to not wage a war, but to help defend an ally in another part of the world in this case, possibly tie one? now, one of nature's main debates these days is on it's different spending of any size that members of the lines are going to increase their contributions well as it stands now, of course, 2 percent of g. d. p is nato's target. it has asked countries to spend that much now for almost 8 years. and that pledge known as the whales pledge expires in 2024 . so they need to come up with a new agreement. either that nato should spend even more than 2 percent, even as many of its allies to haven't yet reach that target. that's something that will be decided at the vilnius summit. but still to bird preview today that he

thinks there needs to be much stronger language, compelling allies to do so. thank you very much, terry. we'll come back to you in a later program as we're waiting for your secretary of state anthony, blinking to me. thank you. now, february's earthquakes killed tens of thousands of people in turkey and northwest syria and left millions homeless. at least 5000000 people in syria need shelter, according to the un refugee agency. but the situation in the human humanitarian shovels can be harsh. it's under these conditions that thousands of families are now observing. the month of ramadan. the earthquake destroyed m. m. dot's house. she now lives in this tent. as the sunset call to prayer approaches, the woman in her fifties prepares the meal to break the fast. if tar in her shelter in the village of angina, near aleppo, whom abdul is like thousands whose homes have been destroyed and who can hardly

afford if tara or lazar with him hopped bombing, i feel psychologically shattered. it doesn't feel like ramadan to me and my neighbors here and there, so we don't feel anything here at the shelter. we have lost everything or we have nothing left about yet. and it's hard for us to get into the spirit of the month of ramadan has fear, and everything is missing. here, milan get a shame up with on even before the quake struck, syria was facing crisis upon crisis. 12 years of war had already left that country in a dire humanitarian situation. now, what was left of the ramadan atmosphere has vanished. more than half the population doesn't have enough to eat. the displaced people in this camp, which includes about $250.00 families, st. they're struggling to survive. la la, la, la ramadan, we were all living at home. thank god. now things are different. as you can see,

i am a one day the tents collapsed. another, they flooded my life. it's very hot and the camps. we lost our businesses and everything in the earthquake were all injured that the whole family usually comes together for ramadan. but now we're all scattered. yeah, no one is in the garage. you all saw little along the love island. this is the hardest ramadan for us because we've lost our families and friends, also been displaced from our homes. so yeah, and have moved to 10 of them that are suitable and lack of elias necessities. 15 syrian volunteers gather in the ramadan kitchen. they're preparing $200.00 meals for those affected and displaced by the earthquake. the whole operation is funded by donations. i'm annoyed in all the difficulties we face, include too few donated meal as we rely on individual donations, one new one. and we're here to help our brothers and sisters who are affected by

the earthquake, and you have lost their families and homes and who are unable to get up. dharm neil: so yeah, we're here to help alleviate their suffering with met. let that rattle saw a loveseat and then residents here hope their living conditions will soon improve with no homes to go back to. don't probably have to live here for a long time and have some football news for you by a munich of crashed out of the german cup after losing to fry book to one with a score tied 11 late in the match balance jamal marcella was called for a handful and fedex lucas hoola stepped up and converted from the sport bible hopes to win the cup for the 1st. now join me in the studio for more on that shocking exit from the german cup is pres. harrington determined, both pres. it's a to matches into his tenure at a by and thomas talk of the new coach and the record, samson's
