the i was a metal cutter. i didn't know. now i know the never ending story of asbestos starts june 21st on d w the . this is dw news live from that. former us president donald from pleads not guilty to historic criminal charges. the type of support as we have every right to possess the classified documents that he's being charged with miss hemsley and promises to

fight the prosecution. also, and the sharp ukraine claims new advances, and it's time for offensive against occupying russian forces while most go hit spot with a deadly strike and brought him is lensky is home time. the object park. welcome to the program for me. us president donald trump has pleaded not guilty in a criminal case that could define his attempt to seek re election. he appeared in miami court on tuesday becoming the 1st formally to to be pub, prosecuted by the federal government. the charges relate to mishandling of classified documents, which trump insist he had the right to possess. it's a g. i need to know whether for my or 7 us president just had to make donald trump remaining hidden behind black. so windows,

as his medicaid made its way to the miami court house, the already the hundreds of trump funds waiting for a glimpse of the former president the the atmosphere at times like a festival in the high stakes legal case. of the inner st with a just a wish. and again, a candidate running for an office. we've come to show all the volatility. tomba sees the are both the prize then on the term where you go totally unison. we're here to support the president. trump, the real president, inside the court room where cameras with bands, the former president pleaded not guilty to dozens of federal criminal charges, including that he broke the espionage act by illegally staffing sensitive defense

documents applied to officials who try to recover the are you ready? are you ready for everyone? but if he's feeling the pressure, there was little sign that says 77, that they celebrations kicked off a day early in a cuban restaurant. the this late is control is the doing little to down, pin trump supports to become the republican presidential candidates in 2020 full light. 2 of the fundraising events such as new jersey go cross. trump again insisted that he's done nothing wrong under the presidential records act. which is civil, not criminal. i have every right to have these documents. whatever documents are present a decides to take with him. he has the right to do so. it's an absolute right. this

is the law. and that is something that people have now seen and it couldn't be more clear, they go to drop this case immediately. it could now be a year or longer before trump trial actually begins plenty of time to ramp up his campaign to retake the white house. isn't bad and is a commentator on us politics. i austin, was a faith based, could have on from the political position given it could drag on well past next year's elections. 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 falling for this type of gas lighting and lies. this is a long history in humanity,

of autocrats fascist dictators. who use wise 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 bank, it was the average american sitting in a grand jury that did this visa. so whatever it is he wants to allege is, is, is generally not true. it's, and you mentioned that a foster states in donald trump space. that's what he talked to by this kind of case against him is political persecution, like you see in a fascist or

a communist state, or should all view is around the world make of those kinds of obligations and the language. but you're also using around this to yeah, it's uh, what if, what people need to do is 1st off support democracy, some work 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, appears to be being done by trump in a fair number of his supporters in the media. that is just like all the stuff going on. a ryan, this is a legal case and he's not convicted from guess 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 here, 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 from own attorney general or bill bar came out and said the allegations in the depths and the breadth 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, a 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 signed 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 that he is alleged to have committed in this. the date indictment isn't bad and thank you so much for your insights on the show today.

thanks jack. moving on in ukraine, at least 11 people were killed in russian missile strikes on the central city of cr v re, which is the home time of president load them is the landscape. this follows claims by ukraine of success is in its kind for offensive against russian forces. gooden fire made claims of victory almost as ukraine's counter offensive gets under way. all that one the one 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 got 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 tags. then we will hold on glory to a crane. key saves 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 y'all, the box 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 didn't that, that we don't have electricity. your internet is yet. and 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 saves it, says liber rates it 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 laurie to crane. this village was under russian occupation for one and a half years, but these are ukrainian lands to them though. that may be optimism over parts of gains. but beneath the blue and yellow of ukraine's flag a lie the bodies of those killed in the fights. the destruction of the nova called down in ukraine has codes cause severe flooding along the pro river and areas near the black sea. the region is home to some of the country's most photo agricultural london. many farms a threatened by the flooding, dw correspondence. sonya found the cause sense of this report from a village in the mid july of region. the village of pablo, maria

a nice guy in southeastern ukraine. it was bombarded heavily solstio by occupying russian pulses, leaving mines and explosives. avery, with 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 an immediate impact on farms here. there's only one way to get around the village of the zillow. that was awesome. the, the water smells chemical. it's really bad and it could be did fish and dogs here the fields were fertilized and not everything's in the water level. the russians didn't get us, but the floods did to those can of the appropriate events.

father by dean says many people didn't believe they would be impacted because the deb break occurred maybe a 150 kilometers away, but no one was prepared. this isn't the only home and farm to be supplement. the ratio hands, which are single, did most of the beans, $200.00 take, the fields have disappeared. his bobby sunflower and wheat of the, 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 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 farmers, like monday of wave would be not as we speak at the top, we know how much work was involved. we can plan to 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 own make. see the southern floods probably meant many fall most couldn't get the machinery and farm chemicals to dry ground in time 0 for sure. for the skin, for just when you get in the water, there must be chemicals in there that could affect the eat meat. a deep ground will be useful. water may be, so you put them, i think is what i'm saying is the oldest motor was into the ground. i mean, for an officer that it will be impossible to use this. we also is not just tutoring, but even to more shar, close tonight. it will be a disaster. what's to be dealt with this says the plate of contamination has a lot of local authorities. this unit was set up in april of last year to monitor the impact of the war on the environment. now the floods are the focus for those of this that the insured, it's the nightmare. yeah. mind and this is all over when the water receives us and

the long term the situation will get worse, you remove the ethics and there are places with symmetry so flooded. so no pets similar to use as well as we will. no one can really say for sure what the consequences could be. this causes that us it cables with us and creates a part of life here. like so many segments near the front line, bob, blue body and if god has suffered waves of tragedy and sufficed i'm not so we've got time for i'm getting tired. thanks so much for watching the show. the can you hear the we are all set. we are watching close to the to bring you the story behind the new.
