the ship. the crane claims new advances and its concert offensive against russia and occupying policies. while moscow hit spot for the deadly strikes of the modem is the lands he's having the jack powered. welcome to the program for the us president, donald trump has pleaded not guilty in a criminal case that could define his attempt to seek re election. he appeared in court in miami, on choose day becoming the 1st formally to, to be prosecuted by the federal government. the charges relate to mishandling of classified documents. his trial could be more than a year away, running into the 2020 full presidential election a it's a jenny,

the know the full, my or 7 us presidents has had to make. donald trump remain hidden behind black that windows as his medicaid made its way to the miami cools house. already there hundreds of trump funds waiting for a glimpse of the former president the the atmosphere at times more like a festival than a high stakes legal case. the rest of them is intersect with the just a wish. and again, a candidate running for an office. we've come to show all the volatility. tomba sees the are, but the price then on the term or you go totally unison. we're here to support the president. trump, the real president and his own way to the details of the hearing to emerge the drum spokes person victim and leave

a p to claims the he's the victim of that coordinated attack. what we are witnessing today is the blatant and unapologetic weapon is ation of the criminal justice system. the bite in a point appointed special council has sought fit to bring $37.00 federal charges against president trump. the leading front runner less than a year and a half before an election inside the court house with cameras. with bands, the former president pleaded no guilty to dozens of federal criminal challenges, including that he broke the espionage acts by legally stashing and moving sensitive defense documents. are you ready for everyone? but if he's feeling the pressure there was little sign as he's 77. they celebrations kicked off a day early in a cuban restaurant. the this

latest control of a c doing this little to down pin trump supports to become the republican presidential candidates in 2024. and you see where the people are. we love to be most and you see where they are, you see the crowds and everything else. we have a country that is in decline, like never before. and we can't let it happen. and as he lights and made his way to a fundraising events that is new jersey golf course, trump will have been bullied by the poles and the growing number of donations to his campaign as he attempts to retake the white house. after his quotes appear installed from fruit to his golf course in edmonds, the new jersey where he gave a defined speech to some of what his have to say. the president enjoys unconstrained authority to make decisions regarding the disposal of documents,

thats unconstrained to make that decision. neither the archivist nor congress has the authority to veto the president's decision. the presidential records act does not. and for any mandatory or even discretionary authority, or the archivist to classify records under the statute, this responsibility is left solely to the president of the united states. think of that, that's the decision. let's get more on this. we have ethan bam. and he's a commentator on us politics and the national sit and nationally syndicated to radio host based in law sons' names isn't as a strong charles this case could drag on well pos next is elections. what effect it is, all of this having on from political position? me jack, thank you for having me on his political position with his core base of supporters

is on changed. they are open to hearing. absolutely false allegations put forth by the former president and his key people that are out speaking in the media. they are subject to following for this type of gas lighting and lies. this is a long history in humanity, of autocrats fascist dictators who use lives to go to convince gullible people to believe them. and it's, uh, it's a sad day when we have this large of a percentage of the american population who are willing to believe and follow somebody who every accusation appears to be, or it's for seems to be its own confession. this was a non biased group of american citizens and a grand jury to choose who shows and decided to move forward with these charges. it

was nobody with a political band. it was the average american sitting in a grand jury that did this the so. so whatever it is he wants to allege is, is, is generally not true. isn't you mentioned that uh, foster states in donald trump space. that's what he told me to buy this kind of case against him is political persecution, like you see in a fascist or a communist state. what's it all view is around the world make of those kinds of obligations and the language that your roles are using around this to? yeah, it's uh, what if, what people need to do is 1st off support democracy some more support, freedom, support, truth and reject lies, reject violence, reject violent rhetoric that leads people to do things like happened in the united states. absolutely. unprecedented attack on january 6th of 2021 on our capital. that was incited by people who follow donald trump. i mean this is

darkly reminiscent of things that happened on the european continent in the 1930s. for example. um we must speak up for truth. we must not stand silently by and we must over emphasize the truth and reject lies in gallus lighting, as is being done by uh of appears to be being done by trump in a fair number of his supporters in the media. that just does all the stuff going on . right? and it's, this is a legal case and he's not convicted from, gets the presumption of innocence in a court room like everyone else in a democracy. we have risk of sort of trying him in the court of public opinion has not giving him that presumption of innocence as well. the court of public opinion, of course, is very different from a federal court room where a jury is going to hear this or i, i don't believe it was recommended to be a bench trial. that's possible that a judge alone could hear this. however,

in this case, even trump's own attorney general bill bar came out and said the allegations and the depth and the bread and the narrative put forth in the indictment is so strong . it seems likely that the federal government, in its charge is the department of justice, has set for something that would likely lead to his conviction. again, the court of public opinion doesn't have to wait for a jury or a judge to rule in this matter. and you are absolutely correct as a practicing attorney myself, who also practices in federal court here in california. yes, she absolutely has the right of presumption of innocence in the court room. but the media and the public court of public opinion that's something different. and by the way, she's the one who kept screaming, locked her up, regarding hillary clinton and she is the one who signs the law. that has made this

a felony with a 5 year jail term potential for every one of these counts, at least the 1st $31.00 that he is alleged to have committed in this a day indictment environment. thank you so much for your insights on the show today . thanks jack. not moving on. and ukraine, at least 11 people were killed in a russian missile strike on the central city of cape creevy kit cr v re, which is the home time of president brought him is a landscape overnight advertise, but also reported in the car key area and the capital key where rosara to say they was stopped by ad defenses. this all follows. claims by ukraine of success is in this country offensive against russian forces. i didn't saw, you know, i mean claims of victory as you cranes counter offensive gets under way.

all that wonderful. i well the problem, kyle, we representatives of the $137.00, a battalion of marine infantry and the 35th brigade of the marine infantry, which is that the cause have liberated the village of montgomery if con, embedded in the region from russian troops to they won't be able to retake this village. they are firing as you can hear with artillery motors and tanks. we will hold on glory to grain. key saves it's counter offensive, has read captured villages image on net schemes, 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 in shelves. if you all, the bucks of the control rumbles on the city was

once home to 12000 people, for the few who remain are new information is guess for use or if we split the means 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 political to the fact that we are here walking around and wondering if it started just doesn't really seem right to continue the new teaching of ukraine save 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. so we changed them out from this quote from you, laurie to crane. this village was under russian occupation for one and a half years. but these are ukrainian lands to them. no. can i? that may be optimism of a pulse of gains. but beneath the blue and yellow of ukraine's flag light the

bodies of those killed in the fight. but here's a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. you and nuclear tree exchange for f l grossey says he's very concerned. ukraine's is that for reason new to the power plant could get cool. top in keeps kind for offensive. speaking in the ukrainian capital before visiting the plant, he won that any leakage from the nuclear facilities rest of law could lead to a loss of cooling capacity reservoir, which we, more than a 100 people to fade dead off for a river boat accident in central nigeria at least 300 people were on board when the boat capsized on the niger river, many passengers were returning from the wedding ice. it is from overcrowding. all common in nigeria. in a bizarre case of crop destruction, 200 swans have been grazing on a 5,

a cub puppy field in slovakia for the past 4 months is left. many of the animals addicted, many have also died and it schools tens of thousands of your rows of losses. this the vacuum form is an intervention to rescue these swans from themselves. after the birds go to taste for puppies. of the 20 said the he, the movie, they are designed to read this one's lives, muscle mass, and then they just crawl on the ground. hundreds of swans 1st arrived in february when heavy rain formed a lake in the field. they've since returned over and over again. droned the addictive puppies. some of the swans became so high, they couldn't fly or even walk swans or protected species in slovakia. and it took full months to gain permission to remove the ball. but we assume

they would just fly away, but they didn't like yeah, it's a rear case in slovakia, so we didn't have any experience as you hopefully will be smarter in the future. conservationists have taken the swans to a channel far away from the poppy field where they going cold turkey as they so brought the story up. next on dw talk, film follows one of the rocks most famous photographers. stay tuned for that object park. i'm from more than use team human building. thank you so much for joining us on the show. the green fantastic. do you feel worried about the panel? i'm neil. most of the on the green fence post cost to me it's clear remains.
