island of khortytsia, where zaporizhzhya sich was located, was a peculiar the upper part of the great meadowhere that you can clearly see how much water has decreased. you can see the rocks. they have such a slightly different shade. those areas that are whiter are where the water was. that is, about 1.3 meters of water went down after the russians committed a terrorist attack on the kakhovsky hpp. it is visible like this, six meters, not exactly. there are only two rocks . one and two are visible in the territory of the reserve . now archaeologists and historians are constantly patrolling the surface, every day more and more new finds appear, they are important for history er, by the way, what kind of pot was this, it is a part of vinnytsia , elliptical ceramics, but there are many such finds, that is, if you go here now with a metal detector, you can find a lot of things, er, how is the layering of historical strata, this is from ancient times . of course, it is located deep and to modern times, that is, there is garbage from the 20th century on top, if we now take a metal detector and wal

, tatar-mongols, er, er, er, various barrows, burial grounds, and so on, this territory of the great meadow is full of sights, of course, it was very interesting for me to visit there, but regarding your remark that there are no black orthologists, then we can now see on social networks many reports about finds from these cities, that is, they go there, probably locals or someone who has the opportunity to get there, exhibiting things that can be seen from the photo that they are very interesting and rare . the state of affairs, such silence was unimaginable, because in a year, a million tourists came here, today under martial law, khortytsia is closed, but when the great war ends, tourists will come here again, not only from ukraine, but possibly from all over the world, because it is very difficult to overestimate the importance of this place . this is where ukrainian was born cossacks dear mr. prime minister, dear dmytro ivanovich, dear attendees , dear ambassadors, dear diplomats , today we have an important meeting with you. to say that it is an emergency meeting, lately we have been m

>> i think that we know that mark meadows has a really great lawyer who would not allow mark meadowseak to the fbi or speak to the justice department unless he felt that he had to. but speaking to the justice department and providing information does not mean you're cooperating. it doesn't mean that you're helping. it means you're asking the questions that you know you have to. and i think that's kind of what we see in this indictment. he's there. he's in georgia. he talks about the things that he saw. he talks about the things that he told the president about georgia. he feels that they did look into the fraud allegations and they weren't true. and that's pretty much all the information he was willing to provide. so, interesting to see if mark meadows had to take the stand and i would guess that he would, i think the prosecution would be careful with him because he's not necessarily going to help or hurt them. it's hard to tell. >> we really -- i hope this trial is televised. but if it is, every witness that you see on that stand will be republicans, loyal, pro trump maga republican

>> that is not a great question from mr. meadows motion.t he is putting out his machete to cut through everything and he is kind of drawing his own conclusions its own psych that no one really thought that this was a settlement discussion at the time this call was made. again you have brad raffensperger. and engineer by trade before he became secretary of state. a very precise man who talks about how never see is about even taken this call. he thought it was a campaign call because they were campaign attorneys on the phone. he thought that the shipment beyond this at all. that it went beyond the bounds of what he hearda softball question. it was this really a settlement call? does not bode well from mr. meadows. >> and barbara mcquade there seems to be credibility questions for mark meadows in this. we know from the summary reported in some of the newspapers that he claimed that he went to georgia when he visited the caught county vote audit that was going on there. and was turned away. he said he was there. he was in town because he was vi

of the arguments to get into federal court, to me, meadows has the best argument he was acting in his capacity as chief of staff. not saying it's a great argument, but i think meadows has the best argument. clark, saying i acted as doj when he drafted a letter falsely claiming there was fraud. trump is going to have, i think, an uphill climb arguing this was in my scope as duties as president. it's worth noting the federal governments do tend to construe this removal provision quite broadly. i think meadows has a 50/50 shot. i think trump has something less than that. but what happens with one is not going to dictate what happens with the other. >> let's go back to kaitlan in atlanta. kaitlan? >> reporter: yeah, and joining me now is john bolton, someone who worked with trump, was his former white house national security adviser. ambassador, thank you for being here tonight. i just wonder, as someone who worked inside the west wing when donald trump was president, what is it like for you to see his mug shot tonight? >> i thought it was carefully staged. they must have thought about what look they wanted. he could have smiled. he could

advice is that someone like mark meadows is getting to someone well known to washington and legal circles? >> i think the advice would be very much to operate. wilager is a great meadows seems deeply implicated, particularly by cassidy hutchinson. one assessment, whatever you're thinking about flipping and turning over to the state is, well, if -- a prisoner's dilemma will tell me if nobody tells the truth, we'll all go free. so is everyone else who is named in this indictment, are they going to stay silent and play on trump's team? i think the problem is that donald trump is known as a serially unfaithful guy who is only in it for himself. so if you're mark meadows and you've known that firsthand, you've seen firsthand experience of that, you got to wonder is trump ultimately going to point the finger at meadows and everyone else is making that same assessment. all the individual attorneys who are now being blamed by trump under this so-called advice of counsel defense, which goes, hey, i donald trump didn't know i was doing anything wrong, these attorneys are the ones who told me all this cockamamie nonsense. all of these are indicia of trump basically not b

great detail. at this early stage of the proceedings, it is unlikely the charges against mark meadow will be droppedu see any of these cases realistically being tried before election day 2024? >> great question, danny. obviously we have never been in a position where we've had a former president who was running for president facing close to 100 criminal charges. four separate criminal trials happening in different jurisdictions. this is a logistical and scheduling nightmare. even if this was one attorney juggling the trials. in this case we have one defendant, donald trump, that has to appear at trials in all four jurisdictions. i think the one case that has the most likelihood of moving forward is the case in new york filed by special counsel jack smith before judge tanya chudkin. the reason i think that will go before is she's made it clear, some of the out of court comments donald trump is making, comments that could be seen as an effort to influence the jury or to intimidate potential jurors, comments that are negative towards the court system, the judge made it clear that if he continues with t

meadows took the stand to argue that the criminal case against him should be moved to federal court. for insight, we turn to former federal prosecutor chuck rosenberg. it's always greatis a real risk for a defendant to take the stand at any point, especially during pretrial motion. was sent by mark meadows' only chance to get -- was testifying mark meadows' only chance to get this moved? dr. rosenberg: no, and he is still a defendant in a criminal case, so this could be used against him by prosecutors in a trial. did he have to testify? no, there are other ways for his team to have deduced the evidence that they want to use, show that he was a federal official and acting within the scope of his duty, in his effort to get his case moved to federal court. they must have made a calculation that the best way for and to do that would be printed to testify. geoff: what is the benefit for mark meadows, if this case is moved from fulton county to federal court? dr. rosenberg: that's a great question. if he succeeds and gets the case removed, he could, pursuant to the supremacy clause, he could argue that because he was a federal official acting within the scope of his federa

i think there is a chance, not necessarily a great chance, but there's a decent chance that mark meadows' case could be removed. trump's case can never be removed. none of the other defendants actually have the benefit of federal service during the time of the offenses that would qualify them under this statute. >> an interesting view you think meadows has a chance. i know you're not overemphasizing that. fani willis made it clear xi wants to move fast, get it going within six months. is there any chance that fani willis goes before jack smith? >> no. there's no chance in my view that fani willis goes within two years. >> two years? >> yes. that would be my estimated time. there are 19 defendants, there are different charges. everybody will have motions galore. i disagree with some of the reporting i heard today where people were saying, not only do they have the motions, but then they'll be able to appeal the motions. the reality is you don't get to appeal a lot of trial court motions absent the permission of the judge or a constitutional opportunity. so i wouldn't worry so much about t

i know there's a hearing pending next week in a motion if mark meadows filed, and i think it's a great. to what francey just said, i don't know how a state court has authority to say, well, mr. president, when you were advised by attorneys, you were acting under your presidential power, that's a crime under state law so that's wrong. that's not how the federal system works. elizabeth: got it. francey, sam, thanks for joining us. >> thank you. elizabeth: look at this action in the stock market, back and forth. big market news today. we ended in the green. uaw workers voted to strike the at gm, ford and stellantis. that may happen next month. we're going to dig into this later in the show. tough news for consumers and bide mom picks, fed chair powell today saying inflation is still, quote, too high. he's warning there could be more interest rate hikes hitting your kitchen table. edward lawrence has the story live at the white house. >> reporter: hinting there could be a little more pain for americans in the form of one more rate hike. the reason he's saying that in part is because of the

meadows is up to. nikki mccann ramÍrez is a politics reporter for rolling stone, she joins me now. this is one of the greatporting on it. following this trajectory. what do we know about meadows status right now? meadow status right>> chris, i think ta case is really setting up a confrontation between trump's legal team and meadows, that has been in the works for months. rolling stone reported a couple months ago that several advisers in trump's inner circle viewed meadows as a potential fall guy for the investigations into the former president. of course, as you said, he wasn't indicted by smith. then in this georgia case, compared to his codefendants, some people think he got off a little lightly. when you compare the charges. of course, for the trump team, this is just fueling suspicion that meadows is cooperating with prosecutors. as we reported earlier this week, not necessarily meadows, but others of the co-defendants have started to point fingers at each other. saying, this person was more involved than i was. i was acting under advice of attorney. i think meadows's efforts to move the case from geo

fani willis's team gets to present the republic to the points that mark meadows makes, that this case should be removed? >> greatyman. yes. in the end, fani willis is prepared now for the defense. she has subpoenaed witnesses, including the secretary of state, who can testify to the pressure that he was put under. she can even use an fbi agent to testify to what happened in the grand jury. there's a lot of ways she can put in evidence. so if the basic -- remember, the burden is on mark meadows. he has to present it. that is a movement he has to prove. if she says, your honor, you can dismiss this now because it didn't meet the burden, then she doesn't have to put on any of that defense evidence. but if the judge is in doubt, then she will have to put these witnesses on, and i think that will robot anything any of the claims that are being made in defense of his getting this trial removed. and removal isn't going to help him all that much. he will get a slightly different jury, it would be all of northern georgia rather than having it be just fulton county. right. i'm sorry, instead of fulton county. so it means

meadows is a pretty affable guy. in terms of his testimony, he seemed cooperative. he seemed quite likable, which is greatou want to put your client on the stand. i think that is partially why he was put on the stand is because he is a pretty decent personality. i think that came across. however, at the same time, there were a number of moments where he seemed to be evasive or seemed to give answers that droned on in order to avoid answering the question that the fulton county das office posed to him. i think the judge a number of times redirected mark meadows to provide more direct, clearer answers that spoke to what the da was trying to ask. that is not a great thing because the judge ultimately has to decide whether witness is credible and -- in deciding these kinds of questions. i think in some respects, his testimony was a mixed bag. he came across as being somewhat cooperative and easy-going and his demeanor was generally good for a defendant in the situation, but at the same time, i think the judge was skeptical of his evasiveness. juan: there will be at least some of the defendants who will have s

great to be here with you. i mentioned in all fairness mr. meadows can request the federal site. he may get it.e still has to face those underlying facts. as someone who studied so many white houses where do you see this case especially for someone who had the number one job in the white house? >> i think mark meadows is a fascinating figure in this, because as you said, he didn't want to talk to the january 6th committee. he just hasn't wanted to talk. all of a sudden he talked for five hours and, you know, in a courtroom which and i'm not a lawyer, you are, that's generally considered, you know, a risky thing for a criminal defendant to do, to sit down and testify for five hours in any sort of official proceeding under oath, given that anything he says can and will be used against him in a court of law, and a process in a court of law is coming down the pike, whether it is in state court or federal court. so, one wonders exactly what's on his mind. but whatever it is it has been concentrated on his potential future and the possibility that he could be convicted and face jail time. i mean, tha

great criminal defense lead lawyer. you're gonna need it. >> late filing for mark meadows to move the fulton county charges to federal courtwhich of the four criminal trials of donald trump is most important. which will go to trial first? >> i did everything right and they indicted me. >> when all in starts, right now. good evening from new york. i'm chris hayes. tonight we are processing the aftermath of the latest sweeping indictment of donald trump, delivered by a georgia grand jury less than 24 hours ago, announced last evening. fulton county district attorney fani willis accuses the ex president of being involved in a criminal enterprise to reverse the 2020 election results under the states racketeering law. in a press conference last night, willis said she will seek a speedy trial and a start date within the next six months and if donald trump must turn himself into the authorities in fulton county by the end of next week as will his 18 indicted coconspirators. so this is now the fourth indictment of the ex president in a little over four months. it brings the total number of felony charges he faces two 91. as the fo

great lawyer. i'm sure he has had some interesting discussions with the prosecutors. so meadowsould turn out to be a prosecution witness against trump. very definitely. >> i spoke last night with retired federal judge michael luttig who is a conservative and advised vice president pence not to interfere with the electorate certifications. he said that these events will further scar the united states, and it will forever and stay in the united states in the eyes of the world, never again will the world be inspired by america's democracy in the way that it has been inspired since america's founding almost 250 years ago. it is a really sad statement. do you think that is true? >> i've known like for many years, i have a lot of respect for, and i don't agree with him on that point. i think trump is an aberration. i think he is so unliked, any other american president, that the stain will be on him for any other country to have -- >> so many republicans are still voting for, and they are still supporting him. >> he could win. >> the case, he could, it's, but, it's not a reflection i

meadows clark. ellis, what is that going to do to trump world tonight? >> that is a great question, especially in fact if you're not supposed to talk to witnesses about a case, it is hard to imagine if donald trumpn is going to abide by that. but you are right, they have now been charged as members of a a criminal enterprise. that is a rather stark framing, it is not just that they committed crimes but they were creating a racketeering kind of enterprise, the mafia as john just mentioned, much like people who giuliani went after. the question is and whether or not they turn on each other, t one of the most fascinating parts is that mark meadows is in there. we haven't heard much, we wonder whether or not he has been cooperating with the federal prosecutor, now we see e that is not cooperating with th the georgia prosecutor what does that do? where is his head at. we don't know. so i think that if you are in that group of 19, you are wondering who is on your side and who is going to turn against you and who is looking out for themselves. >> peter baker, barb mcquaide, john

great. you don't have to use soft buckets. so, tell me about the case of mark meadows. >> well, you know, i was saying that i think that the motions go hand in hand with each other, and they are not, and nobody is surprised that they were filed, and the motion to dismiss follows motion of transferring case, and basically both of the motions deal with whether or not he was a federal employee doing his federal job, and the motions that to dismiss that he recently filed is based on the supremacy of the constitutional clause that basically says that the state cannot prosecute a federal employee for doing their job that is outlined by federal law, and he is arguing that because i was the chief of staff for the president of the united states, there were things that i was tasked to do, like make call, set appointments, and do those types of administrative and admin stistrative acts that the court will weigh out if that is the case, and he is probably not going to see the indictment dismissed at this case, but it is an added nudge to the judge to move it on to allow the motion

disciplinary proceedings against a mark. meadows from dw sports is here to talk to us about another promotion which day in spanish and football mark, right to see and great to have you in the studio. so to say this is an extraordinary development, i think is almost an understatement. and the spanish media were certain he would resign. yes, i mean, they had sources saying he was going to resign. and he went to the federation of the spoken front of the federation in quite considerable lens and evelyn for it'd be a resignation to the end of it. but that wasn't, he said, i'm not going to resign 3 times. he said, i'm going to fight to the end. i think this is maybe a bit of a nod at the front of the fretting colt action against these 2 female spanish government ministers. who said that the case on the lips would count as you know, sexual assault and in spain use. punish. probably no. you may well know in australia where it happened, but they put a tweet saying that and he says he's a may, will go to called against them. so it was quite extraordinary things. i don't think anyone in the spanish, if they expected it, he said because was consensual and mutual and

great to see you. thanks for being here tonight. >> my pleasure, rachel. >> what do we know about how mark meadows did today, how good his case is that his trial should be moved to federal court? >> yeah, so there's a three part supreme court test that's important that i want to talk to you about. in order to get plucked out of state court as you described, he would have to show that he was a federal official. he was. that part's easy. that he was acting within the scope of his federal authority. that part's hard. and the third piece, rachel, that he would have a colorable federal offense if the case were removed from state court. let's focus on number two was he acting within the scope of his federal authority? i think that is a hard thing for him to show. chiefs of staff do lots of things and the chief of staff to a president of course does lots of things. but this was a political effort to thwart a fair and free election. and if mr. meadows is going to get tripped up over anything, it's this notion that he was acting within the scope of his federal authority. so he has a plausible claim. it's not a frivolous claim. but i think the

that said, it is a low threshold for mark meadows to show in order to have it removed to federal court. so i don't think that we have any great insight into what will happen, but i don't think that it was a particularly good day for him. >>> authorities are trying to figure out the motive behind the deadly shooting of a faculty member of a university of north carolina. >> no one else was injured. police are still looking for the weapon used in the attack on the chapel hill campus. the university that is home to more than 30,000 students went into lockdown for hours on monday. >> the suspect is in custody. but has not been identified. the victim's name is also being withheld for now. police say that it is unclear whether the two knew each other. >> and we're learning more about the moments leading up to the deadly racist shooting saturday in jacksonville, florida. >> authorities have released multiple videos including this one of the suspect at a different store. brian todd has the disturbing details. >> reporter: new information about saturday's racist shooting rampage in jacksonville. new video shows that before the shooter

meadows. trump himself is facing 13 felony counts including violating georgia's r.i.c.o. act, a racketeering law used to take down major crime organizations. >> she can wrap together a lot of activities with a great number of defendants and be able to bring in evidence against one that then spills over onto the others. >> reporter: the r.i.c.o. act charge alone carries prison time. trump slammed willis during a campaign rally in new hampshire last week, calling her a "racist" and saying he did nothing wrong. >> i challenged the election in georgia which i had every right to do and which i was right about, frankly. they want to indict me because i challenged the election! >> reporter: georgia governor brian kemp post on social media on tuesday the 2020 election in georgia was not stolen. he said that nobody has been able to prove claims of fraud in a court of law. >> trump and his co-defendants have until next friday, august 25th to turn themselves in. the indictment also includes 30 unindicted co-conspirators. meanwhile, a workers strike averted in san jose. >>> the union announced they have reached tentative agreements with the city for thousands of city workers. the workers initially planned to

meadows heads to federal court in the georgia election case tomorrow. why other trump allies will be watching allies will be watching closely? trust falls? really? ah, come on, jack. it'll be great for morale. if i wanted to raise morale, i'd offer a choice of two sandwiches, plus curly fries, a taco, and a drink for only $6. fantastic. thanks, jack! i trusted you guys. try my $6 jack pack today. i'm orlando and i'm living with hiv. i don't have to worry about daily hiv pills because i switched to every-other-month cabenuva. for adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete long-acting hiv treatment you can get every other month. it's two injections from a healthcare provider. now when i have people over, hiv pills aren't on my mind. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients, or if you're taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions, post-injection reactions, liver problems, and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant

meadows, clark, eastman, jenna ellis. what is that going to do to trump world tonight? >> that's a great question. especially if you're not supposed to talk to a witness about a case. hard to see if donald trump is going to abide by that. that's a rather stark framing. it's not just they've committed crimes but they've combined to create a racketeering enterprise ala the mafia much like the people giuliani once went after. the question is whether or not they turn on each other. one of the most fascinating parts of the indictment is mark meadows is in here. we wonder if he's been cooperating with jack smith, the federal prosecutor. now wesy he's not cooperating with the georgia prosecutor, what does that do? where's his head at, where his legal status right now? we don't know. you're wondering who's on your side, who's going to turn against you, and who's looking out for themselves. >> peter baker, greg bluestein, barb mcquade, john allen, thank you all so much. i want to bring into the conversation tim miller, former communications director for jeb bush, former republican congressman david jolly a

great to have you here. let me first get you thoughts on this late breaking news here, regarding the judge effectively giving meadows and clark the hand on their filing to delay this arrest. does that seem unusual to? and does that suggest anything about the broader case to have this moved into federal court? >> it doesn't seem unusual, and alex. in fact, it seems so normal that it seems almost like that's what is taking people by surprise. we are so used to seeing delay tactics work in various institutions that should be about accountability. and when we see the process working the way that it should, everyone is presumed innocent and everyone gets their trial, their day in court, their arguments, but it has to proceed. and the judges and the prosecutors and all the various cases are saying, no, no. there is no special treatment here. we are going ahead with this, the way we would for just about any other defendant. if anything, the allowing people to surrender and giving them the time to surrender was an accommodation, a n appropriate one, but beyond, we are proceedings. so, i think it's the normalcy of seeing the

meadows is going to have trouble. because that part of the conspiracy really shows that they would go to great lengths to try to make up stuff to backup their big lie. and that's why this whole narrative is important. it is going to -- i get a headache as a prosecutor thinking about one of my witness is being cross-examined 19 times in one courtroom, at one time. that will be something to watch. it will be a drama. and by the way, this is not only one of the biggest cases georgia has ever seen. this is one of the biggest cases the world has ever seen. so, this will be a trial that, i think, when it is televised, it will be some of the highest ratings that we have probably ever seen in this country. it will make the oj trial look like a mere footnote compared to the circus that will be surrounding this particular trial. and my heart goes out to all of the lawyers and all of the court officials who are going to try to keep order under the circumstances. >> it will be major, no doubt. kristy, give us a reality check. because fani willis may have her ducks in a row. but there are a whole lot of ducks here. is there any cha

that said, it's a low threshold for mark meadows to show in order to have this removed to federal court. so i don't think we have any great insight as to what will happen. but i don't think it was a particularly good day for him. >> i have to say most attorneys i spoke with last week said to me they would be surprised if he did in fact take the stand. so the fact that he did today, how risky do you think that was for him? >> it's incredibly risky. most criminal defendants would not testify under oath about the actual facts of the case in an evidentiary hearing that has nothing to do really with your actual trial. don't forget he hasn't seen the evidence yet, he hasn't sat through the whole trial. if he were going to testify at his trial, would be after he saw the government's entire case. he doesn't ever have to testify. but he put all his cards on the table. it was like a hail mary, i think, approach to this whole thing. he's putting all eggs in this basket trying to get the case removed to federal court. and i think because that's step one. step two -- see, i was just doing my job, he will argue, and therefore the supre

great to have all three of you with us. chris, i'll start with you, do you agree with marc short, that meadows should be viewed as a, quote,s election schemes? >> yeah, i don't think there's any question about it. if you look at what, if you look at the record here, there's just no question that whatever the jury's verdict here ultimately, histories verdict is already clear. i think that mark meadows will be seen as the primary enabler of a rogue president, who tried to overthrow american democracy. and i think his argument that, he should have his case moved to federal court, is really absurd. i mean, i am not a lawyer. and i will not defer to others but i say this for well. and no white house chief of staff has any business doing what mark meadows was doing, in the state of georgia, after the 2020 election, there's nothing in the job description of white house chief of staff, that says you can go barging into a private audit of votes in the state, much less orchestrate, and ordinary mafia style shakedown of the state official for 11,000 -- as meadows did, as -- so, i hope he's got a better argument. because being white h

great to have all of the three of you with us tonight. let's start with the big legal developments tomorrow. mark meadows, all eyes will be on that proceeding. what do you think his chances are at getting this case moved to federal court. if it is moved to federal court, could this be a possible preview of not just his defense, but donald trump's? >> so, a lot of interesting questions wrapped up in this proceeding tomorrow. the most frustrating thing may ultimately be at the end of the day we may not know what the answer. is this is an evidentiary hearing. it is possible that the judge could take evidence and then different ruling until he's had the opportunity to considerate and evaluate the law. when he looks at the issues here, meadows we'll have to prove three things. that he is a public official, not and doubt, that his contract here was within the course of his official duties and that he has a colorable federal defense. that means not a solid meritorious defense. simply one that he can offer that's reasonable. he can likely prevail there to. so, hall eyes tomorrow will be on the evidence that help
