2021. was an unprecedented assault. the seat of american democracy, described in the indictment, was fueled by lies wise by the defended, targeted at obstructing a bedrock function of the us government and nations process of collecting, counting and certifying the results of the presidential election. while that, let's go to washington dc and speak to the deputies stefan simon. so, so far we just had the special council jack smith speaking just a moment ago. what more did he have to say until cussed through these new charges? it's all here. let me 1st say one thing we should actually look, this sound vide played again, because it is absolutely stunning historical and absolutely unprecedented. what just happened here? those 4 counts donald trump indicted for the 3rd time criminal indictment also important to know. this is

a federal grand jury indictment. this is not some prosecutor having the idea to go after donald trump and charging with something out of the blue. these are people like you and me. citizens of the united states who hear evidence of prosecutor brings and then decide yes, donald trump allegedly did something wrong and we can have this investigation result. and now we're in the dining. and so this is important. this is the p pulse indictment, not just especially counsel jack smith doing what all those counsellors for accounts. the president, ex former president, is now charged with or indicted with a number one conspiracy to defraud the united states. one more time conspiracy to defraud the united states. second conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding . that's the proceedings in the capital right at that day. on january 6, number 3,

obstruction off an attempt to obstruct an official proceeding and for conspiracy against rights, i cannot tell you how significant this is. i can really put this in words that was maybe don't translate, but out of 3 indictments and they're all bad in their own sense. this one is the may be the worst he can be hit with donald trump can be hit with that is unprecedented. and it is historic that has never happened before, and those charges are absolutely serious. and this is exactly what jack smith, the special counsel of the prosecutor here, who brought those charges for the grand jury before the grand jury, who hand it up. the indictment. this is exactly the point he made when he talked earlier as and when should we be expecting donald trump in court? that's a short answer. first day 4 pm local eastern standard time or eastern daylight. um

the so that's already scheduled. now this lawyers can try to maybe wiggle out of this or the latest, but it's likely that they will be able to, sol, thursday for pm. donald trump is expected to come to the federal court house and face the judge. and what is the us public making of all this because trump does have a strong support base when it comes to the republicans. a very good question. very juicy answer. i don't really know yet how the public and whole reacts to this. i can tell you that there is no news network in america, domestic television, network news network in america, who does not care with this news right now. and of course, if you go to the rides a little bit or something that regard to the left a little bit or in the middle, they all have their little twists and turns or spins on it. but it's truth is also

that. and that may be tells you something about the public domain, and we're donald trump is seen in the public and in the political public. here is that most republican voters are actually for donald trump. they do not care if he is indicted, that you can throw another indictment in another indictment at donald trump and they wouldn't care, at least that's what the poets say. so he is leading in the pre g o p j, right? the primary is to get hold to determine who becomes the presidential candidate for the republican party is leading by fob. i'd thousands of points against the next contender, which is in this case run de santis governor of florida. so it seems to be that donald trump is able to and probably he will since he's able to also use this to his benefit to actually increase and cement his political status. not just maybe

in the republican party, but for a white, a broader electoral a people who have to elect the president in 2024. that's going to be very, very interesting. all right, that is stefan simon, speaking to us in washington dc. thank you very much indeed. are now europe and nations are evacuating the citizens from nisha following the qu, against the elected president. besides, the foster french flight has departed and neighboring molly and 14, if also a back in new jersey, new military rulers, and the threatening to use full to defend them if necessary. west africa has regional defense block echo was just preparing to meet in nigeria, full crisis folks from session and stark warning from don't tell leaders of 2 neighboring countries. but most of the talk you soon, the transitional governments of burke, you know, fast. so and molly here by warn that any military intervention against new share would be tantamount to a declaration of war against burkina faso and molly new shares. new leaders claim

that the toppled government had formerly authorized france to carry out strikes on the amazed presidential palace to free and reinstate the post. president mohammed assume frances foreign minister denied the claims. friend says it only recognized by zoom as an easier, legitimate authority. meanwhile, orders from paris came through to evacuated citizens and other e. u. nationals who want to leave with new jersey airspace closed and all commercial flights canceled. the only way out is on evacuation flights. on the to the home we were asked to take just a small bag with the essentials because we can't take a suitcase us on the 11th of the eu has condemned the crew calling it a threat to new year's democracy and stability house has. but so far, there is no plan to pull out. all staff in you was over 50 years. young union has

decided to offer you personal in the may, the possibility to leave the city on a voluntary basis after the cool new year. at the moment, we have an issue to formal evacuation order, the you will keep its presence in the country. no less than that. you is monitoring the situation with the threat of a regional escalation, hanging, evacuation orders can come any time. well, alex fines is the director of the african program at the same time to talk to in house. we asked him how concerned countries in this, the hell of region should be with molly and book, you know, saw so aligning themselves with the community does in the share a worry? no, i don't know. i think it's a reflection of just how it concerns the youngsters are and what did you go to the current conference a live booking of fossil around didn't buy my car, the campus a lot of money because suddenly they found that the regional economic community

a car wash might well intervene in, in, in these yeah, that's not something they're expecting on close upsets with anywhere in precedent for them. and so that's why i think they've made this announcement today. but there's a lot of diplomacy going on at the moment the, the preferred plan a is to convince the, the junction the just shipping in these, you have to step down that there's a 7 day deadline that the teacher was, somebody gave on, on sunday to them the african union has given them 14 days, i think the read, the realistic scenario is that it will take a bit longer. and it's, it is also evident that of a mediator has now been sent in a to to, to these. yeah. for example, the salt salt and the soccer too is a traditional lead of a former military man. soccer to is the is the region just neighboring news?

yeah. in nigeria. and so clearly the eco watches, the heads of government are hoping that he might convince the purchase that they need to step down. let us bring you up to date and some of the story is making use around the world. me and months later, and song sushi has been hodgens on 5 criminal charges the soon spaces several others and will remain in detention. and then the treatment moves to cheese, elected government in a crew in february 2021. it must go high. rise building has been hit by a drone for the 2nd time in 2 days. russia accuses ukraine of carry out the attack . ukraine has not directly responded. meanwhile, ukraine's president said, one person was touch when brushing drum struck the car q and a student dome and a sports facility for destroying poland is sending more troops to his border with ben, a roost also claiming to butler bush and military helicopters violated its s space

defense officials said it took place in the b, i low with the area at a very low altitude. poland is a nation member, and this at the alliance was informed of the incident. hello, bruce has denied this face violation and says toner, and does try to justify deploying troops to the fellow russian for that. the presence of the fact the fight is inside the roost, palms opponent to central soldiers to the east every 6 weeks. it while you cry and says it's now deploying, it's was of troops into his country, expensive against russian forces. this month comes, comes off to this months of the training by western countries which have also sent modern weapons. the troops could be help to ukraine's advance, which so far has made only small gaines. this is what's left of a liberated village, start home my oscar, reduced to rubble. after

a fierce 10 day battle by ukrainian forces to dislodge russian occupiers. a rare piece of good news. so rare that president followed it means the landscape mentioned at alongside much bigger bottles from last year. give or to come the candle ones bit pass on. now the liberation of style and i always go look at my ssl . ukraine claims to have liberated over 200 square kilometers of territory. but the front line has only moved a few kilometers in the nearly 2 months that ukrainian troops have started pushing, south and east are trying to break through mines concrete barriers and trenches that have slowed their advance and cost many ukrainian lives as well as western equipment the ukrainians have hundreds of tags and troop carriers from germany. the u. k. france and the us, bradley fighting vehicles, challengers, leopards, there, indispensable. and breaking through front lines. but many have reportedly been

destroyed. and the russians have adopted new tactics using drones to help pinpoint artillery strikes and remotely dropping mines into areas the craniums had already cleared. meanwhile, ukraine is sticking to one part of their strategy that hasn't changed their trying to get their native source artillery and rocket launchers into range of russian ammunition, depos, blowing up the equipment and the rear. so russians can't use it at the front. drone attacks have also become more frequent on russian territory and border areas and assaults that have little military value. but for us, russia to divert resources and on the russian occupied crime in peninsula and important staging ground. every village that is liberated provides a boost to the beleaguered ukrainian side. but the cost is steep. ukraine only has

a certain amount of troops and tanks that can lose in what looks less and less like a lightning offensive. and more and more like a long grinding slog. if you're watching dw news live from products or mind, you can find lots one, use analysis and video on a website that has dw dot com coming up next is b w business with my colleagues up once, all season by the every jenny surprises we've gone all out to give you some of the right people in your northern most count the police the.
