and van lines balconies. also coming up, the ukraine claims new advances and it's counter offensive against occupying russian forces while moscow hips back with a deadly strike interval. let him use the landscape hometown the hello. i'm clear. richardson, thank you very much for joining us. former us president donald trump is just hours away from his 1st court appearance and a case. the court has the most potentially serious legal implications for him. yet both supporters and opponents have been gathering outside the miami court house where the arraignment is scheduled to take place. trump is accused of a legally taking top secret government documents to his florida home, then, obstructing investigators trying to recover them is convicted he could face years and present. the former president, for his part,

has been trying to downplay the seriousness of the charges, insisting that he's being targeted unfairly. you're watching joe biden try to jail his leading political opponent. think of it, i will never yield. i will never be deterred in the end. they're not coming after me, they're coming after you and i'm just standing in their way in his caustic style. donald trump no don't need denies the charges against him. as soon as they renounce last week, he went straight on the attack, a former president in full time pain mode election big. and we're going to train up the mess. so we're going to clean up the cancer because that's where we have until the time between those, donald trump and the rest of the who. this is a fluid, as a former president, please federal charges on the applications, the trump serious, the face has 37. totes most for alleged violations of the espionage act for

removing government documents from the white house on storing them. it is more of a log at home of the he left office. crucially, hundreds of the documents stored in a boston on board and related to issues of national defense, including the us nuclear program, wida weapons capabilities, under areas where the us is vulnerable to attack. the miami court house would also consider charges. the trump so to obstruct the f b, i proved into the case right now donald trump is the cliff on monday. so the republican presidential nomination unlikely to face joe biden in next year's election. so it's highly charged, politically so far, trans federal republicans including rome, desantis, his place, his rival for the presidential nomination of siding with him and condemning the indictments. polls suggest the general public is even the split on whether he should have been charged or not. a conviction wouldn't automatically stop,

came running for president next year, although he's convicted he to to get jail time. still many of service believe trump's many legal was put even help as close as his supporters home the message that this is only political. his cool base is not you to support him no matter what, not the serious on occasions could put off of the potential supporters. we spoke earlier to our correspondent to note in the long she's been reported from outside the courthouse where donald trump is due to appear today. and she told us more about the federal criminal charges that he is facing. we are talking about a $37.00 a legit felony charges $31.00 of which saw fall under the espionage act. so it's not just him that he is elected to have held on to hundreds of classified documents held onto them and securely sold them to an authorized parties at 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, you can hear some of the protesters. uh, in the, in the background clara, there are, they're all shouting from. but back to the indictment, they are talking about national security concern. so on the tax, it says the, the documents, detailed military and nuclear capabilities that the united states have. so this is no small thing. claire, the president had so much access and these allegations basically means that he may have abused about access as president in terms of how the prosecutor, since the 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 before for president could have brought up allegations of political bias of

interference in the political process. but the way he appears to have done their talk for all for old records of, for all of metrics, he appears to have laid out his argument very well. his margin of error was very low, but he appears to have the succeeded so far. and at least laying out that argument and that bring us, that brings us here to today in front of this federal court house in miami. yeah, these are serious charges with highest phase. 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 free, fingerprinted, he will probably not behind cost or there are no there will be no mug 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 his long time a lot. well know to who himself is also facing charges. now i had to of a today he 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 thousands, not 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 as well? just as 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 i taught he is the subject of, of which funds and that the funds should be raised for him. he's use that to rally, support him on 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 to ron for us in miami, florida. let's bring you up to speed now with some other world news headlines . scores of people are fear dead of for a river. boat capsized near pataki. enquire, a state and central nigeria. the passengers had attended a wedding,

smouldering aftermath of get another attack on ukrainian homes. missiles hit these apartments in the early hours of tuesday, engulfing the building and surroundings and flane's. 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 for people who came out and make it with children from neighboring houses. for there was also destruction. people were bringing slippers, bathrobes, water, blankets for the children, asking how can we help him to come to us? that's the kind of people we have. several other buildings and cree very. we also had a far as he's described as a massive miss style attack on president, followed him is zalinski is home, city is resident survey, the damage elsewhere ukrainian troops claimed to be pushing back rushes,

as russian attacks on the homes continue reports of ukrainian pro grace the on the battlefield. a welcome signs of a lease violent future like martin as a war studies senior fellow at king's college, london and the earlier asked him how substantial the gains ukraine claims to have made. actually our i think the training in progress over the last week has been pretty impressive. i'm what the guy, not the games as some the russian 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 the mind fails 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, is as i $22.00. yeah,

2023 items on your 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 moods. that doesn't seem to be a single point of focus. do you see that as part of the strategy? so absolutely. um, so you kind of pushing for it on slee funds sites south. and zachary just was talk my documents, which she mentioned, and then also in, in the southeast, just to the west of a town called linda. and the reason is doing that 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 ukrainian offensive. once they've decided that is this particular one, the cranes would obviously reinforce another one. we haven't seen or heard of that you training forces or western equipment destroyed yet,

the future. because my partner more studies senior fellow at kings college london speaking to me earlier, you're watching t v news coming up next on data views. asia ones. what is former twitter boston jack doors? he's saying about the indian government and its relationship with the social media platform. and the bts phenomenon turns 10. we look at why the poor events, popularity and yours, and what that size of healthy appeal of k fox that's coming up with various energy after a short break. stay tuned. the, every jenny is surprises. we've gone all out to give you some.
