break off is good to have you with us on this friday. we begin with a possible breakthrough in peace talks over the war in goes up in the last hour you as president biden have said that is real, is offering a comprehensive new plant in the conflict. it's a free, the remaining hostages being held by from us. the proposal includes 3 phases, the 1st lasting 6 weeks would cover a ceasefire and withdrawal of israeli forces from the gaza strip. phase 2 would involve and exchange and release of hostages and prisoners. and the 3rd phase includes a plan for the reconstruction of causal to fight and says that it's time for the war to end and the offer will go to negotiate after and tries of diplomacy, try it out by my team. my many conversations with is

a visual cutter in egypt and other middle eastern countries, israel as now offering israel as offer a comprehensive new proposal to roadmap to new jersey as far as the release of all hostages. this proposal has been transmitted by cutter to home us. we're going to go now to our washington bureau chief, the dispo initiative. they say that the devil is in the details. tell us more of what we know so far about this 3 phase plan that the president has announced a restaurant. i think, 1st of all, is really notables. as these a plan was presented by the american president and, and not benjamin netanyahu. this riley president, it is in byron and who is outlining the is really road met a and the knowledge in that some is really leadership. my not to agree with it. i think that is really interesting that you really directly addresses these riley

people and kind of really urging them to support this plan and stand behind it despite any pressure. uh they, uh, made a face he made the argues against the continuation of an indefinite war. and calls on the people to also pressure. hum us uh for a cease fire. we don't know too many details yet, but we, he has presented this 3 phase or roadmap and he calls for a complete ceasefire and the release of all hostages. and the 1st phase, which would last for a 6 me weeks. and then he also explained that additionally, about a 100 or so in prison, palestinians will be released. and that is also very important. that's $600.00 trucks of age will be allowed into gaza every day. and do we new eaters at this point, what is being undertaken?

what is being done to ensure that from us accepts this ceasefire plan? well, we don't look behind the doors, right? but what is interesting is that the 2nd phase really holds particular significance for from us as this very roadmap and shows that the ceasefire will not only last these 6 weeks, but ideally, continue indefinitely. so it presents really an opportunity that how much would consider and praising embracing, sorry, but however it's, it's, it's too early to determine if this plan will come to fruition. nevertheless, i mean biden's action really highlights his commitment to finding a resolution to end this ongoing and violent conflict. you'd have easy dispos details on a plan that could possibly in the war engaged in this. thank you. donald

trump says that he plans to appeal is guilty verdicts in his harsh money trial in new york. he was convicted yesterday on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in order to cover at payments that were made to the adult jumpstart, stormy daniels and legally influence 2016 presidential election. a trump is the 1st former us president to be convicted of a criminal offense. speaking at trump tower in new york. after the verdict was made public, he criticized held. the trial had been run. the judge allowed them to go with the every thing that i was ever involved in, not this case. everything that i was ever involved in, which is the 1st, but i'm out there and i don't mind being out there because i'm doing something for this country and i'm doing something for our constitution. it's very important. far beyond me. this can be allowed to happen to other presidents, so it should never be allowed to happen in the future. but this is far beyond me.

this is bigger than trump, this is bigger than me, this is bigger than my presidency. this is a scam. there's a rig trial, it shouldn't have been in that venue. we shouldn't had that judge. or earlier i spoke to federico for breeding. he's a professor of law at dublin city university, and i asked him if the guilty verdict means the donald trump will go to prison. thanks for having me back in the program. it's obviously a new start date. as you said, for the 1st time, the history former president has been convicted by di, julia, spears of dominion, gets crime in the felony carries a sentence of up to 4 years in prison. however, there are 3 legal points that are worth considering here. number one in the american legal system, the jury decides on guilt. but it's the judge that decides on the sentencing and the judge presiding over the key to match and has schedule sentencing on july 11th

. so we'll have to wait a few more weeks to do exactly what the sentence will be. secondly, of course, mr. trump is entitled to appeal and he has already indicated that he will do so. and it's very likely that during appeal the a sentence will be stayed, meaning suspended. and then finally, the 3rd point to consider is that of course, this trial is separate from 2 other trials that are going on in federal courts. again, mr. trump, as well as another state trial in the state of georgia. i. so the interplay between this 4 proceedings also has to be taken need to look at. so based on what you're saying is unlikely that he will go to prison for this conviction as well. um, the josh presiding over the case has indicated that he takes uh why color primes seriously . of course mr. trump has a clean criminal record so far, so it is possible that he might get probation as a port, as opposed to uh,

a prison sentence is not however, uh the uh, interesting points left for size from a legal perspective is that even if he's elected as president of the united states, he will not have the power to part of himself for these crimes because this is a state prime. and so a federal precedent doesn't have the power of pardoning against a decision taken by a state court. what are the chances with this appeal that he could get this conviction overturn? i think the choices are limited to the appeal in the us legal system is mostly on procedural ground. the decision has been taken by a jury of citizens out the state of new york. of course the appeal would benefit trucks in terms of delaying the sentencing moment. and it also will have implications in the political level,

which i'm sure we will see over the next few weeks. i want to think of, of the points you made, that if he does become president, he can not pardon himself because that's a federal authority. and this is a state case where he was convicted of this conviction, does not prohibit him from running to become president again. so you could have of a convicted criminal becoming president in november. what does this, in your opinion, what does this tell us about the, the filtering process of american democracy as it is circle? yeah, no, almost unprecedented situation. we did see in history before one case of our residential candidate running for election from prism eugene, depths into 19 twenties was a candidate of uh, the american socialist party. so a by itself, a conviction were being imprisoned does not represent an obstacle to becoming president, but clearly here, mister donald trump faces a severe challenges in the state of american democracy. and of course is under

stress if he were to be elected. why being a convict to prison or possibly, possibly in prison itself. up to this point. however, i think the, the trial in new york demonstrates the resilience of the american legal system. and ultimately app also devices are federal and the fact that you have both state and federal courts getting trevino to protect your professor for breeding. unfortunately, we're out of time, but we appreciate you joining us on this friday. we appreciate your analysis. thank thank you very much. or just a quick look down some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. the president of the philippines for denmark has junior, has the keys joined the of a legal actions in the south china sea. he spoke at the opening of a regional defense summit in a single port confrontations between the philippines and china. in the south china sea have escalated in the last year. several people, including a police officer,

had been injured and a knife attacking the german city of mount high. the attack was light streamed online and shows a man attacking a far right in time as well re lease shot and seriously wounded. the alleged attack election results and show the african national congress on course to lose its majority in south africa for the 1st time in 30 years with more than 2 thirds of the votes counted. the amc leads with just under 42 percent. meaning that a coalition government is the most likely outcome. the german government has authorize ukraine to use weapons supplied by berlin to strike some military targets inside rush up, but only in defense of the eastern har keith region. the move marks a shifting policy and it follows you as president biden's decision to allow ukraine to use american weapons to strike certain targets on russian soil. the loser restrictions are intended to help you frame push back rushes,

latest advances. the ws chief political correspondent anita has told me what prompted the german government change of heart as it is a change of house indeed and it comes icing because 2 things happened. one, the situation on the ground for ukrainians has been guessing very, very difficult hawkgrove, especially as under loss of pressure on the notes by the government's folks, especially where they announced of as decisions that we have a copy of. that one explicitly mentioned is that the german government always monitors the bustle ground situation carefully and then re assess is just what kind of support ukraine needs. and they have reached the conclusion that russia has been, and i quote, planning, coordinating and carrying out to the tax on hawk if from locations on russian territory. so germany has now joined the group of nations that think that ukraine needs to be able to attack the souls and not just the effect so that they must be empowered to target those installations from web rest of the launch. is those

attacks in order to be able to prevent pressure from attacking rather than trying to bring down all those real kids. but the 2nd thing that happened is, in my view, equally important. the us have now officially given their ok for american weapons to be used for especially these purposes. and this has been one of the guiding principles for the german leadership. they've always said they will absolutely not go to a loan. that was a recurring message by the german townsend. every discussion about every new weapon system that ukraine has been asking for over the last year and a half years. and that definitely must not be seen as the one going forward and leading essentially the support for ukraine militarily. and you have to add that the note also stresses that ukraine has the right to, according to international law, or to carry out those attacks on military infrastructure, even in russia on foreign territory that, that is covered by international law. if they set the purpose of self defense,

so one more take away from all of this. this is decision does appear to show that germany does trust the ukrainian leadership. because so far they've always adhered to the limits that they've been given of the allies. and that was their chief, political correspondent, need a hodge of reporting. they are, you're watching the w. do see as a reminder of our top story breaking news us president biden has said that his real is offering a comprehensive new plan to end the war and gaza. it's a free the remaining hostages, held by him us. the 3 phase plot plan is being presented to from us. and donald trump has failed to appeal to guilty verdicts in his harsh money trial. he was convicted thursday, all 34 counts fault to find business records in a scheme to conceal payments, to an adult film star. trump is the 1st former us president to be convicted of a crime. this is dw news of next. our documentary looks at one girl's passion and struggle to play football in the central african republic. i'll be back at the top
