. i'm going to expand it to you. welcome to the program. a jewelry in new york has found former us president donald trump guarantee on all 34 pounds and his harsh money trial. he was convicted of falsifying business documents to influence the 2016 presidential election by targeting up a sexual encounter with an adult film star. the decision mix, trump the 1st form or sitting us president to be convicted of a crime? guilty? no. so what any form a president wants to hear, and perhaps on surprisingly not the one that trump except this is a graceful november and they know what happens here. everybody knows what happens here. is

a new york jury disagreed. they convicted him on also as he 4 charges of falsifying business records. we did our job. many voices out there. the only voice that matters is the voice of the jury. and the jury has spoken. prosecute has successfully argued a trump tried to cover up and a legit offensive with adult film style. stormy daniel's before the 2016 elections use laser to us as well into another election deal with the risk between democrats and republicans, is deeper than ever. outside the courtroom reactions reflected that wrist. some jubilant. i've been here the last week, gerald, the take me back. are those insisting the judgment would only make the faith and

trump for a strong go deal gets out or gets bell or whatever. we're going to go in terms of those are going to how's going to change my mind that you just got in trouble? you have a big deal, big deal for trump. it might be the former president could spend up to 4 years behind bars in years gone by criminal convictions. would spell the end of a politician's career. but in 2024, nothing is guaranteed and i yeah, i honestly don't know correspondent benjamin a lot as goober in washington dc where the problem is likely to spend time in prison. a soviet char, just against donald trump, a so called non violent class, the felonies, those at the lowest level in new york, in each of these $34.00 accounts carry the possibility of several years in prison. budding conservation is not given because the some legal experts say that it is unlikely that trump will being costs are rated given. he hasn't previously been

convicted of a crime we will find out on july 11th. that's when donald trump will be sentenced. a sentencing that will happen just days before he officially becomes the presidential nominee of the republican party for the course of the question, of course, is, can he contest elections following a conviction? so is a candidate for federal office like the presidency? donald trump is restricted only by requirements in the us constitution, and that we are requirements that quite straightforward. so the president must be at least 35 years old. must be a natural born us citizen and must have lived in the us for at least 14 years. and this nothing on criminal convictions, so is a convicted felon. donald trump can still run for office. and even if donald trump is sentenced to prison and wins the presidency, that would of course, a post, a practical complications because somebody will x. but it's also say that a resulting constitutional crisis would require, for example,

that his sentence be suspended so that he could still fulfilled his duties. as the nation's chief executive. trump uh has said that the rear of the day is going to be on november. the 5th we, he bleed votes due to this conviction there's a lot that can happen until the presidential elections in november. we see that donald trump and joe by now still neck on neck. if we'll look at polls and we just need to remember here that donald trump even saw his support increase off the other 4 sets of criminal a indictments last year. so it would not be surprising. very support also increases, and that's also what we've seen and would referred from trump campaign, and that they manage to financially capitalize it. this also, as they did on his impeachment because just minutes after this verdict was announced, the trump campaign send out a fundraising, emailing, which trump said i am a political prison on the online portal that the trump campaign use us to accept it

. donations was also down possibly to a lot of the traffic, so we can expect that the trump campaign will manage to financially capitalize a from today's the verdict as well. we are also expecting an appeal to this verdict . do we already know on what grounds the dumps legal team is indeed prepared to to appeal. he will almost certainly not have to begin serving any sentence until after all of these appeals are done, and that will certainly take place even off to the november election possible arguments that his lawyers could use in their guests to have this verdict, ronald could be a stormy daniel's testimony, for example, that his lawyer is called irrelevant to the case. it could also be the statute itself because to convict trump, the jewelry had to find he had falsified records with the intent to commit or conceal another crime. but it does not specify what the crime is,

and the 3rd reason it could be the presidential immunity. well, it's not clear yet, which of this arguments they will use? what is clear is the donald j. trump. and now being the test, former us president to be found guilty of felony crime, this verdict indeed punches the 2024 presidential race into uncharted territory. we leave it there for the moment. the benjamin about his crew by joining us from washington dc. thanks very much. i in germany has announced that weapons send to ukraine can be used to strive targets in russia. it follows that decision by us president joe biden. the gave keith the go ahead to use american weapons to hit targets on russians horn. but in both cases, the permission has only been given in connection with the defense of a hockey ridge of the district, and mach sort of us and policy by both washington and berlin, which have restricted the use of their weapons to avoid the risk of a direct confrontation with moscow, ukraine has been housing the us to change tax seems. rochelle launched

a new offensive on how to keep this month. the head of nato, again, starting back, has called on other members to lift restrictions on the use of western weapons. and here's what we have to soften back. sat upon arrival in prague where nature, foreign ministers are meeting to discuss how they coordinate the ministry aid to ukraine. well, i welcome the drama, was our uh, providing support to, to your training many different ways. ukraine has the right for self defense. we have the rights to help to kind of hold the right for self defense. and that does not make nato allies pointed to the conflict. that was the case back in february 2022. that was the case last year and that means the case to i talked to the doctor brussels bureau chief alexander off on norman, who is in prague, covering the story for us. i also what else stopped him back, said before entering the meeting and stalking back,

talk about all the topics that are here on the agenda, including the new defense plan steps. nato is implementing right now. but so he put too much focus on ukraine because he as well as everyone else, he understands, of course, that this is a very critical time with you, creating and forces struggling to stop. then you russian offensive, near the city of car keys, you install some back arch elyse to step up their efforts. we know that you create and it's lacking air defense systems. that there are still waiting for western made ammunition and so weapons to arrive on the battlefield. so that is swati insults and back was talking about as well as his pitch to provide ukraine with long term financial aid in the future. you know, going back, god exams up to that us distinction to allow ukraine to use american weapons to strike inside russia. do we know exactly what the us is allowing?

well, according to u. s. media reports citing u. s. officials. the permission that the u. s. is given to ukraine, to use american munitions and some besides, to strike inside russian territory is very limited. that is limited to the region or of car keys. and we have to understand that the front line there is the border line actually, and the russian forces are launching their relentless attacks on the city of harkey from across the border. so uh, reportedly ukraine will now have the permission to strike russian forces on the russian soil there logistical hops and also there munitions at the post at their, at. but that is not the case with the long range, midsize the most powerful way. 10 steps as ukraine guards from the u. s. a. that they are still nothing. the option here enter the u. s. is not allowing ukraine to use those long range missiles to attack the targets on the russian soil. but could

this initial move with the us be able to wait for other nato countries to get on board? well there's, you know that the u. s. is playing the most important role within the lions and many nature countries of our looking to america for all, for leadership. and we have seen over the last of the course of the last days, some nato countries saying that yes, it's important to allow ukraine to use width and made weapons to strike within russia. so we may see any announcement that, but of course it is also important to stress that the on nato countries who have never imposed any restrictions on the weapons deliveries to ukraine. but some of them just don't want to talk about that because they don't want to telegraph their moves and decisions to the kremlin. we leave it there for the moment, dw alexander phenomena, and broad thanks very much. i to thank you. now quickly about some of the other
