slicing social norms, seeking their self determined lives. let's go from treasury and the stock oldest on d. w. the . this is the w news coming to live from berlin. donald trump doing court again today facing his most serious indictment. yet the court room is just blocks away from the us capital, which is supporters stormed before he left. the office. trump faces charges of using his power in a fall to overturn jo biden's. when in the 2020 election, also coming up, the chairs, crew leader, valves,

he won't give in to threats or sanctions. this is regional leaders discuss how to reinstate the countries elected. president passed the women's world cup south africa and to make a make it to the knockout stages for the 1st time in history. meanwhile, brazil and superstar market crash out of the turn, the hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. we begin in the us where a former present donald trump is doing court in washington. he's charged with plotting to subvert the will of us voters in the 2020 election. security is being wrapped up ahead of the hearing where a trump is expected to plead not guilty. he said the charges against him showed the corruption of the bite and administration. this is trumps 3rd set of criminal

charges and they're seen as the most serious as the campaigns for next year, as a much democrats, which is what they're doing. well. catherine cuba spoke as a political analyst and executive byproduct, vice president, that the best buy and found ation here in berlin. i asked her if these new charges pose a genuine threat to trump's efforts to regain the presidency. well, not on the basis of the american constitution, terry. oh, you have plenty of constitutional experts right now trying to figure out whether or not a president or someone who's running for the highest office in the nation could in fact will the country from a prison. so the constitution does not meet that crystal clear, but these are very, very serious allegations. it's donald trump effectively against his own country. that's effectively the summary of a jack smith presented to the public when he announced his indictment. um, so it's going to be difficult a year ahead. certainly for donald trump, but it's a highly polarized country and still 54 percent of the republican based believes

this to be the man for the white house. what? so the legal aspect of this is still unclear, but trump does have rivals for the republican nomination. will they not be trying to exploit the former president's political troubles for their own advantage as well? we saw something extraordinary yesterday, which is to say that the vice president for vice president mike pins on the campaign trail side. the donald trump had attempted to put himself above the constitution and that no man should be elected president who sees his role in that way. and that was the 1st public pronouncement that we heard from my parents who was now running for the presidency. you remember that he had a hard time being, quote, unquote dragged in front of these type of tribunals and the congressional committee that was looking into january 6th. so for the vice president's to come out with those strong words. yes, he is trying to compare. he's trying to capitalize on this latest environment,

but i don't think we'll see a ronda sanchez or anybody who's much closer to being in the running for that kind of candidacy and make those kind of comments so split feel there. now trope remains extremely popular with a large chunk of the electorate. despite what prosecutors say was an attempt by him, does a bird american democracy, culminating in a january 6th attack on the capital. how do you explain this continued support for trump, despite what happened? a local, we're now calling the big lie, which is to say the donald trump, and that's effectively the, you know, understand or the cornerstone of this indictment. i came up with these big lines that he had in fact one me 2020 election that was incredibly persuasive. to his space, if you recall the people who stormed the capital on january 6th thought that they were legitimately defending their vision and their version of their own democracy. and i think that makes this moment so dangerous. because if for whatever reason

donald trump gets off with a lesser sentence doesn't go to prison. so much as the future of american democracy hinges on this indictment hinges on what we're going to see play out over the next year. because we also know that donald trump has a now, as it was a big piece in new york times, that if he is re elected to the highest office in the land, he will begin dismantling the bureaucracy and the systems of the state even further caused by attempting to turn the united states even more into an executive lead slash dictatorship of the country. this is a very dangerous moment, a very dangerous precipice for american democracy. so all eyes in the world should rightly be on what happens over the next couple of months. precisely on this federal indictment as, as political analysts, catherine flew ashbrook. they're now new shares, new self declared leader has said he won't give into outside pressure to reinstate civilian rule in

a televised address of the rough buttons. y'all need also condemned sanctions imposed by the west african regional group. echo was lock cuz threatened to intervene militarily to restore president mohammed presumed to office in new jeremy neighboring nigeria has also pushed up the pressure by cutting off power supplies less than countries of us, evacuated embassy stuff, and other citizens due to the turmoil protests expected today as the chair markets dependent, stay on the chair is just the latest country in africa is unstable. so hill region to see its government over throw these are status as one of the few democracies. and this, the ho appears to be going up in smoke. the west african nation adds its name to a list of countries in the region that have witness cruise industry in recent years . new share joins neighboring molly,

which saw the military stage. a mutiny in 20202021. a 2nd crew took place there that same year, gimme chad and sudan also witnessed their leaders being overthrown. and burkina faso. there were 2 crews in 2022. the instability caused in large part by militant islam as groups has caused a particular concern to democracies across the region. and especially to those and the block of countries that form part of the economic community of west african states or equal was anchored by africa's most populated country. nigeria. equal was also serves as a peacekeeping force. during times of political instability and unrest, member states send joint military forces to intervene but the most potent tool in the eco was arsenal is its ability to suspend member

states from it's economic grouping. molly gimme burkina, faso a know new share have all been suspended following cruise these years one to has been given an ultimatum or by equal us to it has threatens the possible use of force. there are fears that any military intervention in these are equal losses. could descend into a full scale war in the region. with molly and burkina faso, both warning those they would defend their style oak leaders. and the effectiveness of an equal boss force has been questioned by experts who say adequate funding is required if it were to have a chance of succeeding. plus, it could lead to a worsening of an already dire humanitarian crisis in the region. as we just saw, a military strong man are now in charge and the share molly burkina,

faso and other countries in the region. i asked our west african correspondent, elisa chick wilma, in late goes. why the saw hill so vulnerable to cruise as well? sorry. you have to, uh, go back uh, you know, do the history books uh for this one, especially since the 9th and 6 days when uh, many of these countries that get your independence, i'm gonna know pallets, uh, the likes of, uh, uh, the french i know say for the british, uh nigeria is of us have is a series of successive crews up on the sixties seventies eighteens on so uh, 99 seems like the following uh which ends ending brand new uh somebody that really 1999. but that, that situation has to be having service like a dish app bu, situation saturday, because uh, you have some time demi got sort of a reverse of up in trend where democratic governance, i'm beginning to get thrown in money, but cannot process the analogies yet. and with the reasons be not corruptions, instability, and also aspects of, uh, you know, do you, how does induce i,

how do we, that governments being unable to tackle this is judges in the region. and that's why these names, in general, so to speak. i just toppling governments, you know, left franklin center offensive returning the west africa look into a new crew coming to the study. west africa is regional bach eco was has impose sanctions on the chair. it's threatening to intervene. perhaps militarily, nigeria has cadillac, tricity supplies to the country, etc, etc. can the qu leaders withstand this kind of pressure to well do that, right, you have to look at the latest. so yes and the wednesday speech up on monday. uh, you know, the subject at anita himself who is in charge of the j, a general out the rami gianni, who came out of the state broadcast yesterday and to come to the, i'm going to say he's basically not the way any way of defiance. i did reject those sanctions from echo as are they the ones that need to mention from any uh,
