ukraine continues. the, i'm fairly, it's good to have you with us, sir. as in the civil lawsuit against donald trump, have found the former us president not guilty of reaping magazine calling this aging carol. the manhattan jury has however, found him liable for sexual abuse and defamation. an award in carol $5000000.00 us dollars and compensatory and punitive damages. the decision came after just a few hours of deliberations. trump calls the verdict, a disgrace as well. he's been found liable for sexual assault and for defamation, this goes back to the mid ninety's. when easing carol said she was raped by him in a women women's dressing room in a department store in manhattan, which he furiously denied,

but what they found him not liable for is raped. now this is interesting because the evidence was the same on both accounts. it was just her testimony and that of 2 friends who said that she called after the alleged incident in an emotional state and told them about what headed allegedly happened. and all the jury has decided that she proved beyond a preponderance with the preponderance of evidence that sexual assault occurred, but that a rape did not, but he will have to pay $5000000.00 in damages for sexual assault. and for defamation, after he denied it, saying that it was a hoax after she went public with it. of course he's still kind of appeal. so the $5000000.00 isn't her in her bank account just yet. he can appeal, he has already called it a disgrace. what else have we heard from from since we we learned of the verdict as

well? even just minutes before the verdict came out, the trump posted on truth, social, which is his personal social media. he said that he would appeal no matter what the verdict was, and he, he denied the allegations once again after the verdict came out. his 1st statement has been that he has no idea who this woman is. this was his basic defense, the whole time that he doesn't even know this woman calling the whole thing holds, which is obviously not true because he's been in photos with her, which was presented as evidence in court. and he also said that it's continuation of one of the greatest which tons of all time his campaign came out and said that this was in a district in new york city that's owned by democrats. and that this is an example of extreme left wing politics getting involved in the legal system here. so once again, furiously denying its making the same claims that he was just found guilty of defamation . for me, does this verdict of any implications for trump's ambitions to run for president

again, next year of the? well, this is a big question. what is the worst case scenario for trumps? here of course, he knew that his reputation was on the line. he didn't even show up in court. he didn't seem to be taking this trial very seriously. but now that the why he's been from liable of sexual assault, he does seem furious. i think one way you can look at this is that his very hard core supporters are going to see this as a witch hunt. they're going to see him as being politically persecuted here. but part of his lawyer has always been that she could escape charges like this. this is really the 1st time that he's been who held liable in front of a jury for sexual assault. and so this might take away from that alert. one thing that's been interesting is a very long shot republican candidate who would be challenging and in their public primaries made a statement. after that, the jury came to his conclusions here and said that you need to know how to talk to

a jury, and that if you attack injury, this can really backfire. so framing him as a loser in this situation, which is trump worst fear. mm. meeting. carol's lawyer said that she wanted to prove that nobody, including a former president, is above the law. i think this mission was accomplished either way. use it. i mean, as of thank you. of russia has been marking the 78th anniversary of his victory over nazi germany. in world war 2, known as victory davis years commemorations come at a time when russia is deeply entrenched in its invasion of ukraine. an apparent drone attack on the kremlin last week is only added to the nervousness. the victory day in moscow is always a full long display of choreography, pageantry and prowess. but busy and more than others. vladimir putin wants it to act as a national coal to arms, as he again raged against the west,

claiming that russia was the victim. see what could save it, is that the doing that civilization is once again, out of the sights of turning point, what are different, a real war has been on least against our motherland. yes, you have a not and we have rebuffed international terrorism and we did ideas and we will protect the residents of the dunbar, spencer, and we will ensure our security of that apparently this is the scaled back version and efforts to manage heightened security concerns. i made a number of attacks on the russian soil. putin appealed to the patriotism of his soldiers fighting in ukraine. some of them watching on my was usual since he was already of our country, rests on you today. ladies at the future of our statehood and our people depend on you. we, you are feeling your military duty with honor you are fighting for russia. so

that's right. this is a nice bunch beneath the veneer of grand you, a rushes, bundled invasion of ukraine, has left many wondering if parades like this are a width and suppressed paper ring over the cracks in its forces. hooting for his pod seemed please, and ended with a rallying cold set eyes for russia. i'm not sure for valiant armed forces you for victory, for all other. the people in berlin has also marked the anniversary of the soviet union's victory over 90 forces. 100 showed up at the city soviet war, memorial and trip to part, to pay their respects to the fallen. but with the monuments paying tribute to also be a troops, russian and ukraine, and the like. collaborations were not as amicable as in previous years. the

monument to the soviet war day. the trip to a park in the lane is the largest such memorial in germany, $7000.00 soviets soldiers who lost their lives in the 2nd world war, buried here. every year on may, the 9th, the day russia mounts victoria and nazi germany. people, many with roots in the former soviet union come to pay their respects those to you as you chose this option, yet the fact that i'm here now has no connection to, to, with current political event is prior to me. it's a celebration of my family, my grandfather, he full in world war 2, southern met over by the because both but against the background of russia's war and ukraine. such commemorations have become contentious feelings, quotes banned the display of russian flags and other symbols on the ground so that they could spunk, violets. the ukrainian flags, however,

were allowed to decision which could have caused problems and get out. and you can decline to attend. to begin, just now we had a small encounter. there was some other people with ukrainian flags here. it's about 3 or 4 people to think and that was surrounded by 30 or 40 russia fans defense then the police with that. so that there was no physical escalation to him . i'll see if this elsewhere in the lane, on the 8th of may ukrainian great cause bit you organized what it termed a much of morning. they say they don't feel represented by soviet war memorials in germany. people mistake the soviet union with russia a lot. but in reality, most of the people who were fighting actually against nazi germany were also ukrainian spots in the forty's. we were fighting against like the german fascism. now, we're fighting against the russian socialism. the desire to remember the dead of was both past and present to shed by those on all sides commemorations and berlin.
