covering trump's court appearance. early. i asked to what happened in the courthouse? the moment we were all waiting for arrived earlier today when donald trump and his motorcade pulled up to that side of his court house here in miami. once inside he was then book. so that means his finger prints were taken electronically. he was not in hand costs, there was no mug shot of in of him taken because he is easily recognizable that the whole process took about 10 minutes. and then he and his lawyers were brought before the court. the court magistrate is a lawyer, todd blanche told the court room what his key was. he said, we definitely plead not guilty for donald trump. that was up for you. that was widely expected. now he is set to be to a set to go back to new jersey to night, to be, to deliver remarks on these proceedings. the authorities don't see any need to detain him any further. he is not considered a flight risk. remember,

we're talking about the guy who has his name and blazoned on the side of his private plane. hard to imagine him getting off anywhere and recognize. but suffice to say, this day is just the beginning of a very long process. after this arrangement, the government has to present its evidence in what's called the discovery process. and then you will have a whole host of pre trial motions before this thing ever makes it to court. but really what we knew into this going in was that all of donald trump's legal troubles will bleed in to the run up of the 2024. uh uh, you know, 2024 us elections. that really does seem all but inevitable. now, do you know, tell us about the federal criminal charges he's facing and how strong a case the prosecution has? well, we are talking about allegations here. $37.00 federals, $37.00 felony charges,

$31.00 of which fall under the espionage act. so it is for not just talking him about him having allegedly collected hundreds of classified documents, kept them and securely showed them to unauthorized parties. and as well as what was obstructed, investigators efforts to find them. but rather he has a large, i've done all of this in such a way as to threaten national security. if you read the indictment tax, you could see pretty high up top that these documents contains details of the us and its allies, all military and nuclear capabilities. you have details in there about what the us would do if it was attacked militarily. so what you really have here is a serious business. donald trump was the former president. he has access to a lot of information and he has believed to have handled or he has a lunch to have handled that information carelessly as to how strong the cases. it's worth noting that special council jack smith would not have brought this case

forward. if he did not feel that he could make the strongest case that he could possibly make, he had a very difficult job to do here. he had to go after a former president in such a way that it did not give rise to allegations of, of improper political meddling or bias. for all intents and purposes, observer say that he appears to have achieved this. and all of that work has brought us to this day in front of the court room here in miami. you know, started with us. we're going to take a listen now to some of what donald trump support has had decided to you about the case in front of the quote. today. i'm here to support presidents around that number, 40 faith and the number 47 because we believe we're support separation of powers. that one makes america great. that's a fun version of this phone 3 and press it up. that was in the same for the just the wish on a game, a kind of that running for office. we come to show all the volatility trauma. these

are both the prize then on the term where you go totally unison by the family. so the vision that in that case, no the tome, we're here to support the president trump, the real president, donald trump supposed to stay at well and truly behind the former president. janelle trump is currently in the leading republican candidate for president. how could this case effect he's been to become at the next person? well, so far he's been using this crisis as an opportunity. he's been using this case to rally, support him on his base, but also to fundraise. but we have been talking to those supporters that you showed there, and we asked many of them if they felt that these investigations will limit his ability to run for president, or even his chances to become president in 2024. many of them said, no, that's not the case. we do firmly believe he will become president. and in one

respect, it's worth noting that he does still have a shot at the presidency, even if he is convicted. and that is something that is uncharted territory for the united states. what will it mean to have to potentially have a convicted former president occupying the white house again? now these are questions that we don't quite have the answer for yet, but constitutional scholars will have to spend a lot of time on this in the next months, in case it does become a reality. the deputies, us correspondent, janelle de milan in miami. thanks so much. and you find a place to live and people were killed in a russian missile strike on the central city of cream. phoebe, which is the hometown of president flooded me. savanski. i've not air attacks were also reported in the hockey area and the capital case where authorities site that was stopped by a defenses is so full as claims buying. the price of success is in its counter offensive against russian forces. gooden fire. i made claims of

victory almost as ukraine's counter offensive gets under way all that? well the problem, kyle, we know other representatives of the 137 battalion of marine infantry and the 35th brigade of the marine infantry, which is that the cause have liberated the village of montgomery, embedded in the region from russian troops to they won't be able to retake this village verified reading as you can hear with artillery motors and tags. but we will hold on glory to grain. keith says it's counter offensive, has read captured villages image on net skins, upper region regions. but the russian defense ministry released these pitches claiming that they had repelled counter offensive attacks by ukrainian false as president putin described opposition law says as close to catastrophic

here. the shells, if you all the bumps of the control rumbles on the city was one's home to 12000 people. for the few who remain for her little information is guess the store. if you please get the means that, that we don't have electricity. your internet is you, you came here and told us that the counter offensive had already begun with a painful to the fact that we were here walking around and wondering if it started . this doesn't really seem right. because the new teaching of ukraine saves it, has liberated as many as 7 villages on its front lines. 3 of them was the 3 days ago. the russian forces were still here. we change them out from this coach, new glory to grain. this village was under russian occupation for one and a half years. what things are ukrainian lands to them no thing. that may be

optimism over parts of games. but beneath the blue and yellow of ukraine's flag a lie the bodies of those killed in the fight. with john spencer is the chair of evan wolf. i studies at the madison policy for him. i asked him if we can verify these ukrainian claims of having guidance on the ground and how significant that would be. yeah, i think we can verify there's, there's plenty of jew locating open source intelligence sources that have validated the videos of ukrainian flags going over recently. liberated villages are in fact true. so it's pretty undeniable. and that's probably frustrating to russia who likes to control information. how significant is in the counter offensive. it is significant to break through the lines of russian defences. but it's to be frank, we're only seeing probably 10 percent of what actually been allocated for the counter. but the so there's a lot of fighting in

a lot of new territory to be liberated to come up with john spencer from the medicine policy formed. speaking to me earlier, french authorities have uncovered a russian, this information campaign. i'm that undermining wisdom support for your crime. the agency responsible for funding online phone interfere and said that pro russian information was promoted by accounts mimicking popular french newspapers including the finger and lab prose. yet, the information was been circulated by sight, social media, your accounts come and theories pushed by the campaign where the effectiveness of sanctions and the danger of accepting ukrainian refuge spell. yeah, nick, alexia, arisen, and phil, i for the baltic states that the advisory councils, digital forensic research lab told us more about the this information campaign. so we came across this campaign almost a year ago, and the we particularly researched its actions on met this platform,

namely facebook and instagram. but i would say that the core of the competing is exactly what has surfaced today regarding france, but the, even previously targeted countries as also germany, italy, including also lack to be over, i'm based. and so they can pay was to basically copied the source codes of knowing media outlets and host them on spoofed domains and own but infrastructure and in the spoofed version. the content would really promote pro russian narratives like lifting sanctions or stopping deployment of the weapons to ukraine. go back to the remaining version of the website would be the same. so if a user who clicked on the spoof link would land on the faked article but started to click around to make sure if, say, lamond actually wrote this article,

the user would think that that limit and indeed did it. because all the other hyperlinks remain the same. and this is the clever part because it takes very little resources to do, but has to be very effective cognitive effect on a reader. and the same time we must say that on met them. the, the campaign was mostly unsuccessful in terms of engagement through the gardener, because the only significant engagement was for the both that were also promoted by a paid advertisement. so we saw a very low investment in authenticity over the pages that promoted such there with this. and only traction that gardner was paid, which we see is basically not organic traction for us. we can't really assess if it's really effective in the real life. so if there is low engagement as the site was, is the kremlin kept doing well,

most likely. it's in the long game because we know that propaganda is effective in long term and repetition is one of its key features because the human brain is fired to reject something new. but more often, our brain is exposed to information. more familiar, it seems to our brain, the less dangerous it seems, and so slowly to accept it as a part of our reality. therefore, repetition and persistency and the repetition is very essential. and the though the can pain, is not very unsuccessful in the garden learning. comments likes, other types of engagement, it's still can generate eyeballs and people may share the spoof links outside of the networks, and it, it may have some limited though, some limited traction. alexia, thanks so much for your time. i a full go. he's

a reminder of our top story from us president donald trump has been released from court on to play. the not guilty charges that he mishandled top secret government documents, trump told support as afterwards that the government was out of control. he could face, he is in prison, if convicted watching the deputy news on anthony how the date of the business news with kate ferguson is next after a short break section for that. and don't forget the website data of the comments social channels like instagram and twitter handle for those is s t w need to stay with us. if you kept the, what do you see? it really used to reverse page researchers and scientists all over the world for you know, race against time.
