allowed in the 1st 12 weeks. rather than simply tolerated, we look at what could change and read the new champions of german football labors. who is in rejoice as they secure their 1st ever coordinates legal title. after defeating bremen, 5, the village, welcome to the program. donald trump has arrived at a new york courthouse for the start of jury selection in his harsh money trial. trump is the 1st former us president to be criminally prosecuted. he's accused of falsifying business records for payments made to an adult film star before the 2016 presidential. busy x and it's just one of many indictments against him. he

described the trial as political persecution as he addressed the media before entering the courtroom. this, this is quite a good 1st situation. this is a great security like never before. nobody's ever seated. if the while i get and again to suggest that you have never been brought it to the sol america. and that's why i am very proud to be here. this is in this author and our crime scene. our washington bureau chief and his full explain what we can expect in the 1st criminal trial of a former us president. well, i think we just got a little glimpse of it here. nicole than ever trauma is involved. we have to expect a huge political, a theater and to definitely will get a lot of air time for that as this is the 1st time that a former us president is being prosecuted for crime in 235 years. it's probably interesting for an international audience to know that the closest to us ever got. there was president richard nixon in watergate,

but as he was pardoned by president ford, he was not calling me. so today, 1st order of business, the jury's being selected, that must be quite a daunting task in a case against the former president, though, right? everybody knows donald trump, everybody has feelings about donald trump. how will the court be able to find those 1212 people for fair and impartial? yeah, that's a, that's a very important point because especially also as the defense will most likely continue. this is strategy from previous trials, which is to paint a such cases as politically motivated to be just to donald trump, basically saying the same. so how does it work? potential jurors are randomly selected and then given a questionnaire and today, starting today, the prosecution ends defense. each get

a to disqualify 10 people from the jury pool pool. and we probably know by the end of the week who finally will be the jury. all right, but donald trump is not only a former president, he is also running for office again. now this is not the only charge he's facing if he is in fact convicted by that jury, that is right now being selected, what would happen? what would that do? to his aspirations, to become president once more. right? because so if convicted, each charge carries a maximum of 4 years in prison, which could theoretically add up to a decade or maybe even more in prison, although of justifying or probation are also possibilities. i mean, a trump legal team would almost certainly appeal any decisions and delaying the prospect of him spending a time behind bars spots. and that's important for our audience. according to the us constitution,

trump is allowed to seek the presidency even if he is convicted and, but it's also important to note a pulse of republican primary voters indicate that the majority would still support from as the parties know. mean, even if he is convicted of crime was as pull our washington bureau chief, many things always great speaking to you of the conflict in the middle east. now world leaders continue to urge restraint as israel considers how to react to the aerial assault by on the is really war cabinet, has met for a 2nd time since the attack. the government has yet to announce any results from that meeting during an emergency united nations security council meeting. both iran and israel accused fellow un members of ignoring the threats, but the other opposed to their secure available showdown following a night to drone and miss sol attacks and best is from

a ron notes. and israel faced off the united nations united on the terrace for anything iranians and boy justified the assault for as retaliation for a strike when it comes to let some syria, which it blames on his royal face, which such says, comes, stone says they stomachs. republicans, you don't have the no choice, but to exist size is in your head on the right to self defense on the international law. israel cold on the when to impose all possible sanctions on the wrong this that, that crossed every red line and is red reserve the legal, the right to retaliate. the middle is, is on the, bring, the people in the village and confronting a real danger of devastating full scale. conflicts is now is the time to disuse and the escalates. now is the time for maximum restraints.

the u. n. chief is not so low in edging restraints. georgia and within the flight pulse of the wave of, of rainy and midsize and drones. down some of them, king abdullah told us president joe biden to any further action by israel wood wide in the conflict in the region. the u. s. and the allies, including the u. k in front, also helped israel send off the ron's attack. at the g 7 video meeting, the focus was on condemning and wrong, containing the conflict ron's actions risk provoking, an uncontrollable regional escalation, and this has to be avoided. we will continue to work to stabilize the situation we call on the ron, and it's prophecies to seize completely the attacks. all parties should exercise maximum restrains. we stand by the security as well and apply to region,

which is difficult. important for our security here at home to what we now need is the comb heads to prevail. israel says it has not lost sight of its subject to the st. garza facts, imperative, and pressure from its allies may yet be enough to persuade its leaders to hold back . so what could israel's next step look like? i put that question to maureen, i'm a rotten, she's a military analyst from kings college and linda, a good day in the quote. it's a very difficult question because we don't know how israel will react. and indeed, on the one hand, we have a lot of international pressure, most notably from the united states, but also from germany, the united kingdom on israel to basically not respond. and the allies made it very clear that they will not be involved in any counter attack on the right. and on the other hand, um for benjamin nothing. yeah. well now this is

a huge problem because he has hard liners which are important through his political future. who are saying that the east route on has to resonate throughout the middle east. israel has to respond and to respond. have lee in order to re establish its own deterrent, which has been a role that officers or to boss have them to tax. so it's a very difficult situation specifically because if israel is to retaliate, have only against to run, there is no so i can see that the allies will come to help a 2nd time. and of course it also puts into questions of allegiance of um, was it goals? countries who have allegedly helped um, jordan has help. we know that, but some of the others likes that you are e and saw uribe a they tried to kind of distance themselves from this, but still they provided intelligence. and so they will have to be choosing between

israel and the iran in the sense of course, there are no friends of the room, but this will be a very difficult situation for them. giving the power dynamics that exist in the middle east. yeah, so it remains to be seen which way israel goes. yeah. but the behind closed doors, you know, whatever analysts you speak to, it seems like neither around nor is real. seemed to be also interested in an all out war. this looks like we're in an eye for an eye situation though with neither side wanting to be seen as weak. how big do you consider the danger of this spiraling further out of control as well. the problem here is that iran didn't want to know loud where it wanted to a drawer, the red lines, and this strike, which many sad, oh, it was a strategic failure for you. run was actually a very smart, strategic move because without causing any destruction, it's managed to draws

a tread line. now for each row, each row cannot afford the word right now because it's already a poor. and it depends on the support of, say, allies, most notably the united states in order to achieve its objectives in gaza. so neither of them want to war, but neither of them want to risk their reputation and specifically israel, which believes to be surrounded by enemies. and we don't know how far the arrow on the chords will go in this sense because because of that over seven's attacks, everything has been put on hold. so each route has to demonstrate its strength in order to deter results. but the actual enemy, such a task block, for instance, or i'm sorry, all of the who do use in human do not attack is trial. so there can be also a miscalculation, for instance, imagine that the attack that the run lounge would have a lot to death of civilians on this riley soil. if not,

everything has been shut down so that there is a risk of also that these unknowns that could lead to an escalation without either side. one thing, one, now a rather big unknown is or runs nuclear program. we know that it is evolving. we don't really know where it stands. how much should that factor into israel's calculations here? well, i think it will factor in a lot if we remember that israel has already made an attempt to undermine it. backs and when launching stocks net on the um, the platinum here is that is this time use ro might be more attempted to strike directly out military targets and nuclear facilities was any right and, and for you. right? and of course, this is exactly why run doesn't want to war because he wants to finish its nuclear program, develop nuclear weapons in order to have a solar deterrent against each row and against the united states. so certainly that

will be something that is factored in. that being said, we don't know how you ran, we'll respond down. should israel launch any direct stripe on iranian nuclear facilities? or maybe there will be a more cover it way to try to undermine it. all of this uncharted territory. thank you so much. that was military analyst marie number on joining us from king's college. thank you so much and a quick look now some other stories making news around the world today. a church leader and several others have been wounded and a nice attack during a religious service. in sydney, australia, a man was seen on a live stream approaching the bishop and stabbing him several times, squarely and police say they have arrested. a 15 year old boy flooding and cause that son has forced the evacuation of more than a 100000 people with the president, calling it the nations worse natural disaster. and 80 years, the waters have also submerged homes and the russian girls spring floods are

a regular occurrence in the region, but heavy rainfall and melting ice has made them more severe than usual. rescuers are searching for survivors. after huge land slides hit the indonesian island to pull away the official said 18 people were killed. 2 or still missing these and all downforce cause frequent lance lives and floods in indonesia are today marks the 1st anniversary of the start of sudan. civil war which has killed thousands and trigger the world's largest crisis of displaced people. and international and donor conference is being held in paris with the united nations appealing for some $4000000000.00 and $8.00 u. n. system. 18000000 people. a 3rd of students population needs food assistance for their survival. have a look back now at how the conflicts begin. 12 months ago. citing your

robson students capital in april 2023. the power struggle between 2 rival generals spills out onto the streets of cartoon when a deal on transitioning to civilian rule falls apart. at the center of the conflicts are abdel side to alber had the effective ruler of sudan and mohammed him down the head of arrival paramilitary group, the rapids support forces in 2021 they had formed an alliance staging. a 2 as 2 down was trying to transition to a civilian lead democracy, after decades of dictatorship. but the general's then turned on each other as they fight over integrating the paramilitary into the regular army. the rapids support forces take control of cartoon airport and the presidential palace

a year on the control, much of the capital millions of people are internally displaced. others have floods threw down. the fighting has damaged key infrastructure. food and medicines are in short supply. the people are living in squalor and eat organizations are ringing. now the alarm time is running out without a stop to the fighting, an amended access for the delivery of humanitarian aid. so don's crisis will dramatically worse than the months to come and come to impact the. ready region, we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg at the situation to do much more by in reality, despite international calls for a ceasefire, and deal between the warring generals seems out of reach as the conflict enters its

2nd year. well here in germany, an independent commission set up by the government on access to abortion has presented its findings. the procedure is technically illegal in the country except in the cases of rape and risk to health. but abortions in the 1st 12 weeks are not punished when accompanied by canceling. the reports concluded that access should now be improved. novels feeling of being criminalized by system made one to help other women. the outside pressure of like what you have to do and all the appointments you have to do before you can get the point. abortion that was already very stressful. but then if you look into the law and the laws telling you what you do is in one bro with murder, that's a hard, that's hard to read and abortions in germany, a still a criminal offense. section 218 says it's exempt from punishment and the 1st 12

weeks in combination with an obligatory counseling. are now an independent commission set up by the federal government recommends that bush and should be permitted to end the 1st 12 weeks, the pro life activists. cornelia kaminsky things you should rob the support pregnant women and crisis for her and abortion means killing an unborn child. it is also sad that boost section $218.00 sense in the way of one tried to self determination. what is left out is that the 2nd that the baby is concerned and that too, with the abortion, the baby smart to substitute the nation and one on for all the rest, the woman sacrifice us a couple of months. yeah, no method from doctor's pro choice says pregnancy always puts one's health at risk and can be distressing psychologically diverting somebody else in the med, zag. we would also never say a mother or father and supplies to the nathan kidney. but even if

a child needs like you need to provide me with an off onto the lead, you can never do for dice. one person have to preserve one person's life name. and as i'm, as i mentioned, it's a higher kind of the leaving articles don't have. and as i'm, as i mentioned, the fee added to that method as $1.00 of the few doctors performing abortions. that barriers to she says it's of not part of medical training. it's complicated to get a bush impulse, and that's the danger of being suit following her. dia logo set up the project, talk abortion, to distinct monetize the meta, and to become a doctor. i started getting more and more angry. also because of my own experience . and i got to the point where i decide, okay, if i, if i study medicine, then i can change something about this myself. she just finished an internship at an institution which performs abortions and works now on her ph. d. while the report lays down recommendations by an independent commission, w,

a chief, political correspondent in the house, has more about the likelihood. so actually become law sort on. so if it happens, then it will take quite some time still, and the long answer is the government. and berlin says that the rules on the boss in germany old that from a different era, a lot has changed. they needs to be updated. but they also say that they know just for the controversial topic, this agent that it is a highly emotional issue, which is why they put this commission in place to foster what they call a respectful debate based on facts on scientists, recommendations. so this was essentially the 1st step, the scientists report, but of course, this is a risky move, but well also it says governors, the band on abortions is a pet topic for the far right in this country. also for some conservatives, there are lots of important elections in this country. they ca european elections. and we will know that positions get more extremely alexa riley times, and then the current government only has a year and

a half until the next federal elections to potentially get those changes to empowerment where heated debates of a to be expected to oh, as you know, has a it was a historic weekend in german football with fire labor crews in breaking by and unix decades long dominance to clinch this years when a sleek, a title with 5 games to spare. this is labor codes and 1st link title in the gloves . 120 year history. the day the keys and signs go wilds off to thrashing visitors, bed frame and supports his joints. the play is on the page to celebrate the clubs. first of a been to league, a title, the highlights of an electrifying season. leave a cruise and will um beach and for $29.00 league games in a row. securing that position at the top of the table, the it is, it will say the 1st title is a coach for the most in mind on the bench,

shelby alonzo. it's unbelievable to win for the 1st time, lose the 1st time in suspicion on for us to to being able to be part of it. and to that you see that excitement before the game and do the game for, for the funds to how much it means for i think the for the, for, for all of us. well, it will take some time that we, we realize how important this, how, or on the way it's caused me not just for the results as where they were there way with the theme test. great. the final when that secure, then the tracy was an impressive 5 mill victory of agreement, showing funds what that may don't with miss field to run a chunk of scoring one goal until time and talents florian bids, putting 3 in the notes for the team to the 1st time and move in a decade. fine me and it can not depend does leak of champions this year with labor cruz's time to shine. the squad show their appreciation to shelby alonzo. the non

behind the success play showering humorous page during the price. much press conference, in fact, the last time by a labor keys and had won anything, was the german cop in 1993 the season, the 1st full campaign under the spaniards. the team has been nothing short of magical navy crews and haven't lost the game all season in any competition under alonzo. the only team in your big 5 leaves to do so. with the blended lead guitar. lynn. huh. and then making a run in the road. lead and to reach the gym and comp final. the come up with coins, never crews, and due to never winning the league of to only his 1st full season in charge shall be alonzo. his guaranteed they'll never be referred to as never chosen again. me i go to is a journalist with a german soccer magazine as find it a german,

411 friends. and she told me more about the secrets to labor codes and success. i mean, the secret is probably that there's no star of the team. i mean, the stars obviously shabby alonzo, the coach, but there's not this one player that is better than everyone and the secret to better success. i mean, there's so many that i need shaka of some pong arctic school, my adult, sylvia and goods, obviously. but also people like, you know, time time, who lives in part of the team for a very long time, but are now on the reaching are full potential that alonzo has curated this formula where you have the feeling that they can be any team. and no matter what tactics the other, the opposition will bring to the table. they'll find some way to beat them. so that is pretty extraordinary. and probably one of the is not the best teams. the bonus that goes ever seen of teamwork makes the dream work. a buyer have not last name

the season in any competition. the trouble is still within reach. do you think this one is like a title? is just the beginning for them? i think it might be, i mean they are the highly favor as a team and the finale of determine cup they're playing uh, 2nd, division sides kinds of thoughts on which they will probably when and then in the european championship they have played these crazy games with super like late goals and an extra time and stuff like that and you just feel like, i mean they, they play fantastic football. so it's not some sort of magic secret, but you feel like they just can't be beaten no matter what, even if it looks really bad, like a couple of minutes before the end, you have a feeling that they'll turn around any game. so honestly, to me there's no argument to say that they won't win at all. yeah. so what does

this all mean for a german soccer after a decade? environment and dominance are labor cruising now? the ones to beat um, i mean for now they are, cuz like i said, it's one of the best, but that's the good things we've ever seen. if not the best are far better than buyer. and i mean, it definitely means that, but we'll shut off on this, getting challenged as the number one challenge or fire. and so we'll probably see like a competition between the 2, between living environment in the next couple of years. and maybe it's the beginning of the beginning of an era. we'll see it's very, very interesting time that was, may agree to from as fine to thank you so much for your insights. thank you. and before we go, here's a quick reminder of our top story today. donald trump has arrived at a new york courthouse for the starts of jury selection in his hush money trial is the 1st former us president to be criminally prosecuted. trump describes the trial
