john, john chancellor needs a japanese prime minister for me. shita talks in that to post in economic ties on defense. ah, i eddie america junior. welcome to the program. now, russian president vladimir putin has made an unexpected trip to crimea to mock the 9th anniversary of it's annex sation. that's according to russian state media in this footage show. so and could be seen you seen now? and i was released on telegram by the russian appointed governor, put in can be seen visits in a school in the port city of us to pull the largest city in crimea. russia seize the peninsula from ukraine in 2014 each year before it launched its invasion of mainland ukraine. keith was about to retake crimea in the fight against the russian invasion. now, aka respondent is standing by for us. jennifer palka is in a reagan hello. jennifer. first things 1st put us visit to crimea, comes just the day after the international criminal court issued on arrest warrants for him. what message could he be send in with this trip? well kremlin spokespersons me, they'd be scoff, rejected the arrest warrant against a russian president. vladimir putin calling it unacceptable and having no legal grounds. so putting in his surprised visit to crimea to the city of c of us property today, mirrored this sentiment. he waved to the crowd, he visited a ard school as well as his children's center. but it is important to notice that he didn't make any political nor general statements, which is very, untypical for him. so this could be a sign that vladimir putin is not as unfazed by the arrest warrant issued against him, as he would like others to believe. can you remind our viewers why a crimea is so important for both russia and ukraine? yes, crimea is of a very big importance, both for russia and ukraine. it all started with its illegal annexation in 2014 by russia. and russia's president vladimir putin has built his image and his power on trying to restore russia to its former glory days, and also to return historically russian territory like crimea, back to russia for ukraine. of course, it is of different importance. it is the territory that was illegally taken back, taken away from them, and they will try everything to get it back. but also it ukraine's president zalinski used crimea and crimea as we turn to ukraine, as the reason to ask for more powerful weapons from the u. s and from nato. good to debbie correspond and jennifer parker, thank you. now, former us president donald trump says expects to be arrested on tuesday in connection with a case brought by and new york prosecutor and a social media post. trump called on her supporters to protest, he cited on alleged league from the manhattan district attorney's office, but gave no indication of what the charges would be, nor did he provide any evidence for his claims. the district attorney has not yet commented, but has been examining tramps rolled in the payment of hush money to a woman who alleged sexual encounters with him. if indicted trump will be the 1st former president of the us to be charged with a crime. fernandez, let's bring in our correspondence in washington, stefan simons. i looked up on a former precedent announcing his upcoming arrest. where's this coming from? ah, welcome to the trump circus. that's where it's coming from. because interestingly enough, the president, the former president drum, seems to know something, nobody else does. his own team. his own lawyers actually came out after his announcement on through social is all his own social media platform that he might be or expects to be arrested on tuesday. they came out and said, we don't have any knowledge of it whatsoever, and nobody can find the league either. the alleged league from the district attorney in manhattan or somebody else who tipped him off for a possible arrest arrest is also the wrong word. he. it's about an indictment. that means in case and that depends on if a work, the work of a grand jury in this case in this so called hush, money slash stromey. daniel's case is actually ended. it depends if this work is done and then the prosecutor has to decide if he wants to indict donald trump. and that would mean that he would be processed, meaning mock shot and fingerprints taken electronically. now that makes for some awkwardness, because that would be indeed the 1st time ever for a former president, president to go through something like that. indeed, if a lot of it now is what trump rude to his followers in a poster protest. take our nation back. now, no one, once every piece of the general 6 attack on the capital, our authorities were it they are, they do not expect that the former president has this, this power still to marshal those kinds of crowds and to do something similar to what happened on january 6th, in 2021. so nobody thinks that's going to happen. but however, authorities in new york, they are preparing, they are in talks for quite some time to prepare for something similar happening for massive protests in new york. when and if a donald trump is getting indicted, he wants and there's a reason for why the president wants this, of course, and that has to do with the 20 for presidential run. he is in anti g o p, the republican party primes. now, a champ, i said that even if he were to get in baghdad, he'd continued to run for president in 2024. tell us how much support does he have among republicans for another trump presidency? that's all about this. 24 run for the presidency and yes, he will or keep on running for this and a yeah, you're right. he is still commanding a lead and a lot of willing to g o. p. within the republican party, he is the lead. but he's something he's not used to. he has a formidable container. that is governor of florida. rhonda santas, yes he is behind donald trump, our donald trump. as you see with this action with saying, i'm going to get arrested with no proof of that. of course, that is all political. it's a political spiel and it is a ruse for okay. rhonda centers to bring more to his own faithful followers. okay. it be correspondent stepan simons. thank you. let's take a look at some more stories making headlines around the world. according pakistan, house council, the wiring for the rest of the former prime minister in con, after he briefly appeared out to you, to show complex in islamabad to face corruption charges, but classes outside the court. building between police and con, supported events at the proceedings from going ahead to take his precedence of tie a bad one has announced that russia and ukraine have agreed to extend the black sea green exports deal the practice key to alleviating the global food crisis. and was due to expire at midnight on saturday. rushes, defense ministry, house police footage of naval exercise of china and iran in b. b and c drills emphasized close ties with asian and around i had a cd and pins method to moscow next week. russian president vladimir putin has sought to run peptides with china in iran sense is invasion of ukraine. britain's home secretary is in we want to discuss an agreement between the 2 countries on relocation migrants who arrive in the u. k. without permission. so ala but other men toward academy, which will of our training to the asylum seekers, the british government has double down on that the petition plan, the fight legal challenges and the heavy criticism. germans also love shelters and talk you for a trip and strengthen economic ties with japan shows has been meeting with japanese prime minister for me. consider pay have been discussing ways to strengthen economic security and reduce dependence on china. we've also talked about the war in ukraine. we mean a studio is general, is that sonya bloss care to tell us more about today's visit. hello sonya, thanks for joining us. i think it's 1st to know how important is the relationship between germany and japan, especially when it comes to economic security. i think the 2 countries are kind of rediscovering their close ties in their friendship that was there before. but as we know, germany has really sort close the ties to china for a long time. however, recently, against the backdrop of the political situation in the region, they kind of remembered the japanese friends and, and the value partner. so it's often called shared values and such things. and we forgot economic ties and, and the economic economic security. germany can really learn from japan that has made a bit more progress than, than germany already seeking ties with other countries in the regions, free trade agreements. and especially we got in the economic ties that japan is deeply worried that germany still has strong economic ties to china. what did he expect from germany? i think they don't have any specific expectations as such in the short term. i think in the longer term they expect closer exchange, you know, more meetings among like now among the ministers joint discussions about topics like minimal supply. both countries are resource poor, so they share a lot of similar issues so to speak. also, digital cyber issues are issues that both countries share, so i think they can learn from each other and try to find ways to diversify risk, which is really important for both countries and the reason internationally. yeah, i mean, one thing that was a key was still talking about russia war in ukraine. what did you decide to say about that? they both condemned the attack of russia and ukraine. they're both worried about nuclear threats that russia has made. and japan was one of the 1st countries that joined the european countries in the sanctions. so japan, as we try to become a more important like visibly more important partner for the international community, presenting a united front against russia, so to speak. ok all over the yeah. journalists that sonya laska. thank you. now a small town in our back australia. i woke to find the i rabbi filled with a grim site with a pungent smell. millions of dead fish being blamed on low oxygen levels in the river. and a spell of unusually hot weather. ah, the mass style is blocked. several kilometers of the darling river name in indian new south wales. environmental officials said the masters were likely caused by a combination of hot weather and low oxygen levels as recent floods which caused the fish population to boom receded. this is the 3rd such event in the area since 2018. the indigenous mon indy people, found that as particularly disturbing. yes. now that the level of depression, ah, you know, the cultural significance is spiritual, can you and i am that it means to their original paypal. and when the, when the draft, when is when it's like it is now it's just their feeling of hopelessness that, that nick, no one wants to take any responsibility for it. and really all we want is to maintain a healthy river men indies, population of some, 500 people has injured those droughts and flooding in recent years. it was pretty hard to comprehend rural and you know, had some from the flood in worry and everything rare. and which it sort of started to decline often. um, when this has happened and that's just sort of your walk, he ran into a draw up mere 7, an image smelling is putrid, smell and it says have terrible smell. and in a horrible, to say all those dead fish with the effects of climate change being felt especially sharply in australia. officials of warned that this is unlikely to be the last time an event such as this occurs in the area. now before we go, he has a reminder of our top story. a day outside the international criminal court issued a warrant for his arrest war crimes. russian president vladimir puts in, paid an announced visit to crimea the black sea peninsula. yeah. next, exactly. 9 years ago to the day and you're up to date up next the ship to live in a digital age. smartphone addiction is that a deliberate design feature app staging. to find out how you can kick the app habit this morning that had to stay with this guardians of truth. my name is john dinner and i have paid almost every price of being a journalist in a country like to key taking on the powers that be they risk everything.
