he could face years in prison. back in florida state that is home soil for donald trump. the place where on tuesday afternoon he will appear before a miami towards the 1st boma us presidents to face federal criminal charges ready for trim survival. that is to round gulf results, a small group of supporters all giving up for another extraordinary chapter in the life of donald trump. i don't, i don't, i don't understand that we're here tomorrow to while we're losing our values. i think he's being indicted on the wrong reason. he basically gave up the paper work . they call them dep logged on for a reason for the man who wants to win back the white house in 20. 24 is the

republican pick. the stakes, the high. he's facing dozens of charges, but holding classified documents at his monologue at home in florida. if convicted, he could face, he is in prison. and as is typical of the twice in page diploma presidents and the days since being indicted, he's been turning up the heat in the documents. all thing is a which it's a disgrace should never happen. it's hurting our country. joe biden has 1850 boxes of documents. he's got documented china down. he's got documents at 10. he doesn't want anybody to get them. it's a disgrace. what's happening? the tension is already building in miami. ahead of terms main and before a federal judge, thousands could descend on the city with security being be stuck around the court house. in preparation,

we obviously believe in the constitution believe that people should have the right to express themselves. we encourage people to be peaceful and in them demonstrating how they're, how they feel. and we're going to have the adequate forces necessary to ensure that this is now one shot to vote for donald trump, the united states. and what comes next could further divide the country and set the battle lines ahead of next year's presidential election. we spoke earlier to our correspondent janelle, to milan reporting outside the court house, where donald trump is due to appear today. and she told us more about the federal criminal charges that he's facing. we are talking about a $37.00 a legit felony charges. 31 of which saw fall under the espionage act. so it's not just that he is elected to have held on to hundreds of classified documents held

onto them and securely sold them to an authorized parties. and the hindered investigators attempts to locate them. it's a that he allegedly did so in such a way that may have endangered national security. now if you read the text, so the indictments, i'm sorry, can you hear some of the protesters? uh, in the, in the background clara, there are, they are all shouting trump, but back to the indictment. they were talking about national security concern. so on the tax, it says the, the documents, detailed military and nuclear capabilities that the united states had. so this is no small thing, claire, the president had so much access and these allegations basically means that he may have abused that access as president in terms of how the prosecutor since case is it's worth noting that jack smith at the special council would not have brought

these charges forward if he did not feel that the case was especially strong, he had a difficult job to do here, getting the authorities to prosecute. donald trump, the former president could have brought up allegations of political bias of interference in the political process. but the way he appears to have done it taught for all, for all records of, for all of metrics, he appears of laid out his argument very well. his margin of error was very low, but he appears to have succeeded so far and at least laying out that argument. and that brings us, that brings us here to today in front of this federal court house in miami. yeah, these are serious charges with high stays. can you tell us a little bit more about what we're expecting to see there in miami? well, as we said, donald trump is expected to appear here later he will be entering a side entrance of this federal courthouse. so not the front entrance,

he will be frank, fingerprinted. he will probably not behind cost or there are no there will be no model shot taken of him. this is also the opportunity for him, but to see how he's going to plead. that plea is widely expected to be not guilty. he will be, uh, he will be up hearing alongside 2 of his lawyers as well as, as long time a. the world now. so who himself is also facing charges? now i had to of a today had been calling on his supporters to descend upon miami. you heard a few of them earlier. i don't know how clearly they were shouting trump, but it's nowhere near the 1000 spot. the authorities were bracing themselves for. although of course, that situation can yet still develop, the closer it gets the time that trump is expected to appear. yeah, we did hear some of those voices. and the reason the whole world is watching this is trump, is currently the leading republican candidate for president. how could this affect

his bid for the presidency? well, just those trump does, you know that he's very good at encouraging a persecution narrative. so he's clearly decided to see this crisis as an opportunity. he's use this trial. he's use this impending trial to say that taught he is the subject of a which, hans, and that the funds should be raised for him. he's use that to rally support along his face. but really, what this means is that the republican party has a decision. i heard of it. will the distractions of these legal troubles be worth the be worth keeping on? seeing that it's still worth keeping on trump as the standard bearer of the party. we don't know that yet. we can't do that yet, but this is definitely unprecedented territory for the country as a whole. thank you so much for your reporting. that's due now. come on for us in miami, florida. let's bring you up to speed now with some other world news headlines

those prime minister of inquiry has presented a plan to diffuse tensions in the serv majority north, which includes fresh elections, cautions broke out last month after ethnic albanian merits took office following local elections, boycotted by serves dozens of peacekeepers and ethnic serbs were injured in the unrest a while you creating a special se russian missile attacks and central ukraine of killed at least 10 people and wounded thousands more. the regional governors at the dead were recovered from a 5 story residential building and a private warehouse in the city of creevy. overnight air attacks were also reported in the heart. you've area and a capital t where authorities say they were stopped by air defenses. the assault follows claims by ukraine of successes and it's counter offensive against russian forces. the smouldering aftermath of yet another attack on ukrainian homes, missiles hit these apartments in the early hours of tuesday,

engulfing the building and surroundings and flames. dozens of residents were injured, others killed, meaning we're trapped in the wreckage. when we got out from under the rubble, the 1st thing i saw were people who came out and make it with children from neighboring houses, where there was also destruction. people were bringing slippers, bathrobes, water blankets for the children, asking how can we help you come to us? that's the kind of people we have here. several other buildings increa very, we also had well, sorry, she's described as a massive miss style attack on president. the low to mid zalinski is home. city is resident survey. the damage elsewhere ukrainian troops claimed to be pushing back rushes, occupying forces keep seas. it's counter offensive.

has re cap, should villages in the midst and suffer reach of regions which russia illegally enix last year. troops say this 1st, which was filmed in the town of store rose a bit and done its of russia's military claims to have repelled ukraine's attempts to advance in the area. we rose to the bottom is our fears, but our movement is under way and that is crush out of one of the enemy's losses are exactly what we need on. although the weather in these days is on february bill and that's the res complicates our tasks. nevertheless, the strength of our soldiers here. so we solve, i'm the, i'm grateful to each and everyone who's currently incumbent to everyone who supports or if somebody gates in the respective ways you provide the need for you. this now keeps claims have yet to be independently verified as russian attacks on the homes continue reports of ukrainian progress on the battlefield. a welcome

signs of a lease violent future. mike martin is a war, so these senior fellow at king's college london and i earlier asked him how substantial the gains you prank claims to have made actually are i. i think that you train in progress over the last week has been pretty impressive. i'm what, like i not the games as some the motion defensive lines. the been 6 months in the making in some areas are, you know, 5 or 6 layers deep of tanks and dragon's teeth and then mine fields and changes with the russian soldiers and, and so as well as the fact that you claims to be quite castle with it soldiers, by some accounts, they liberated more territory in the last 10 days. then the russians took a hold of 2023, which is a slight $22.00. yeah, 2023 items over the site, which is fairly impressive. another interesting because that seems to be that they

appear to be focusing on different parts of ukraine on the do not see, and not for region of regions by moot, that doesn't seem to be a single point of focus. do you see that as part of the strategy or so? absolutely. so you kind of pushing forward on slee front sides, se operations towards talk mac documents, which she mentioned, and then also, in, in the se, uh, just to the west of a town called linda. and the reason is doing that too, is because it can advance on, on these 3 axis, and it causes restrictions the russians. and it means that at some point the russians have to make a decision about which is the king you creating an offensive. once they've decided that is this particular one, the cranes would obviously reinforce another one. we haven't seen one of the ukrainian forces or western equipment deployed yet, so that's the next stage really. okay, so an attempt to extract russian efforts. how strong is the russian position at this point in the war? i mean, they've had months to dig in for this ukranian counter offensive. and on tuesday,

the russian defense ministry published a video showing what it said was a leopard, 2 tank that had been captured from ukraine in forces. so i think we would expect to see you crying in losses. and you know, that was a catch and you were talking about there been all the videos on social media, all of some of the lesson dated equipment. 8, destroyed with this is what we do expect, you know, these russian defensive lines have been 6 months in the making. and some of them are really quite deep and have several layers of them that says they're all the areas of the front, where the defensive lines are not as complex. maybe there are any 2 lines deep and that's possible you clayton is doing bible. is it going these 3 funds, some of those a less well defended the money than others? and so it just gives you kind of options for the future. and where do you see um less well fortified? defensive lines that ukraine could launch its counter attack against the russians

at it's, well, i think the counselor offensive is going on at the moment. this is phase one of it's, i think around, backwards is a particularly interesting area because the russians took that many very recently so they haven't had a chance yet to turn that into a properly defended area. i think the area south of to o'clock is, is very, very well decided because it's the most obvious line of assaults and then runs a 100 hours somewhere in between the 2. and the defense is that less deep and less expensive than they are at top. mike, thank you so much for that analysis. that's mike martin from kings college funding . really appreciate your time. i think he said well, the destruction of the nova holstead down and ukraine has caused severe flooding along the new pro river and areas near the black sea. the region is home to some of the country's most fertile agricultural land, and many farms are threatened by the flooding. you'd have you correspondence on

your phone. the car sent us this report from a village, and then the calliah friedman, the village of bob little money and the scar and southeastern ukraine. it was bombarded heavily solstio by occupying russian pulses, leaving mines and explosives everywhere. no southern flooding has severe trouble supplies and cutoff entire areas. the destruction of the gulf of them has affected places much further away. sure. in the we can live region meet agricultural area, water levels and who lets river have risen dramatically. and that has of immediate impact on farms here. there's only one way to get around the village. so that was awesome. the, the water smells chemical. it's really bad and it could be deficient dog. c a, the fields were fertilized and not everything's in the water level. the russians

didn't get us, but the flood stood to the appropriate events. father bardeen says many people didn't believe they would be impacted because the dead break occurred nearly a 150 kilometers away. but no one was prepared. this isn't the only home and farm to be supplement. ratio hands which are single, did most of the beans, $200.00 take the fields have disappeared. his body, sunflower, and wheat. out this somewhere, the polluted in charlottesville, has transformed the landscape. the loss of his crops isn't his only worthy measure, but we'll hop in from us. we know what it is to lose everything and start again. i tell you and for the ground will be contaminated because of a lot of chemicals, diesel valuable machine. oil will have a different kind of tragedy. you might them and does not have some testing that does. it's a major concern for small. it's almost like monday of wave would be no,

as we speak at the top, we know how much work was involved with that implanted this with our own hands. it's old guns. and one moment the former teacher mainly grows vegetables for her own family. she and the husband oh, like see the southern floods probably meant many farmers couldn't get the machinery and farm chemicals to dry ground in time suitable for sure for the skin. for when you get into water, there must be chemicals in there that could affect the eat meat to the ground will be useful water maybe. so you put in my bank is what i'm saying. and so this water would save into the ground. i mean, we'll do an after that, it will be impossible to use this. we also is not just to drink to but even to more shall close tonight. it will be a disaster. what's the delta says? the plate of contamination has a longed local authorities. this unit was set up in april last year to monitor the impact of the war on the environment. now the floods of the focus

quarter because of this, that the insured, it's a nightmare. yeah ma'am. and this is all over when the water receives and the long term, the situation will get worse, you remove the effects and the, the replaces with symmetry so flooded on the pets temperatures as well. no one can really say for sure what the consequences could be cause is that us the cable to the task and creates a part of life here. like so many segments near the front line. bob blue, monday and if god has suffered waves of tragedy and sufficed. let's turn now to some other world news headlines at this hour. un nuclear chief raphael groceries says he's very concerned, ukraine's is operation. nuclear power plants could get caught up and keeps count for offensive speaking in the ukrainian capital before visiting the plant, you're born to that or break and the gates that hold back the water in the nuclear facilities reservoir could lead to
