the, the is the state of the news life from thailand. donald trump's has started criminal trial gets under way here, arrives to the new york courthouse, but jewelry selection in his us money case. the 1st time a former presidents have sufficed criminal charges, charges of he describes as an assault on america, also on the program, latest israel to show restraints in response to iran's perio attack. each country made its case to x to the un security council. this roused world cabinet. i mean, it's a game to decide if and when the

i'm feel welcome to the program. donald trump has arrived as a new york cortez for the start of jury selection, and he's actually on the trial. he's accused of falsifying business records to cover up payments made to an adult film star before the 2016 presidential election . this is just one of many indictments against him. mr. trump is the 1st that former us president to face a criminal prosecution for entering the courtroom. he addressed the media this is quite a good 1st situation. this is a great security like never before. nobody's ever seated if we like it. and again, to suggest that you have never been brought to the sole america. and that's why i am very proud to be here. this isn't this author and our crime scene. it's joe co. haine is a professor of low at white and the university delaware law school. a welcome to

d. w. professor. could you please outline for us in layman's terms, what donald trump is accused of? yes, i'd be happy to and thank you for inviting me. so i, he is being accused, it's a bit complicated. so i'm going to unpack and he's been accused of paying harsh money . right. uh, and the, the important piece of it here with 2 important pieces. one is falsifying business records to cover up those payments. but the more significant piece of it is, he's being accused of doing that in conjunction with a separate crime. and the crime here is interference in the 2020 election. so i'm sorry, the 2016 election. so in order for the prosecution prosecution to succeed, they would have to show. ready that the business records were falsified to cover up the harsh,

harsh money payments and that it was done in furtherance of this plot, if you will, to effect the results of the 2016 election. okay, so jewelry selection stats today. how does one find 12 people with a fair and balanced any partial view of such a polarizing figure? a yeah, that's going to be a challenge. and the parties recognize that my understanding is that they are or 96 at the moment. potential jurors that are going to be questioned. this process will take, i'm going to guess at least 2 weeks to, to go to completion. but they're not looking for somebody who doesn't know anything about. ready trial worked out yet about the case because that would be impossible. instead, what they're looking for are people that they're convinced can form a judgment based on the facts rather than what they think about about donald trump,

which is going to be difficult. and, and the former president has already indicated that he's going to be very much in the year of his attorneys as they go through this process. so we could be quite a while in making this decision. so if he's found guilty just skipping ahead 9 to look at some possibilities if he's found guilty and to receive the custodial sentence, would that affect his ability to run full? i'm in the to become president. if you're back to surprisingly no. so if he were convicted and in prison, there is nothing in the constitution that would disqualify him from seeking office and the coming president. no congress could do something about that . they could pass a lot disqualifying him. he could be impeached,

but there is nothing in the constitution surprisingly that would prevent him from assuming the presidency. in that case. how he would do that from a prison cell is anyone's guess. ok. this is not, he's only a legal travail of course, and they think this is the 1st a full in diamonds to go to trial. which of the full pending proceedings. should he be most concerned about you think? well, that's a great question. i would say this one is the immediate concern because it's the only one that we know is going to be completed before the election. so from a purely from, from looking at this from, from a truly, from the timeline. i would say. ready is the one that you should be most concerned about, the one that he should be most concerned about in terms of the underlying charges i would say, would have to do with the, the claim that that's being litigated in

a dc. that his actions leading up to and including january 6 amounted to federal crimes. and those are quite serious. but that's the case where the supreme court of the us is currently considering whether presidents are immune from prosecution under those circumstances. i never adult, i would thank you for guiding us through. hi professor, jump kind of to find the university delaware. my pleasure, a simulation israel's way and how to respond to the runs unprecedented attack. these right, the wall confidence has not met twice and saturdays added a sold for the government as yet to announce any definite course of action. the options of discussion haven't been made public, but he's writing the media reporting that the wall confidence he's looking to iran without trickling and a lot more. well latest have been repeatedly quoting for restraint. so here's

a look at some possible scenarios. so is riley reprice a long shadow war that has come out into the open with a rounds attack on israel over the weekend. is we have a government faces pressure from within the country to strike back at her on forcefully to maintain deterrence. the highest risk and most drastic step is real could take would be to strike at it runs nuclear program that could quickly lead to a major escalation of the conflict is real suspected to have attacked ron's uranium enrichment facilities before including in 2010 with a computer virus program that's set, it runs nuclear program back years. but never officially acknowledge that. a step down in intensity would be air strikes on around oil facilities, military airports, or other military facilities. attacking oil targets might significantly rattle the

world economy. and the tax on iran's military could force tear on to feel like it had to respond again. tit for tat attacks that could lead to a regional more. in both cases, there are military and technical issues is real stock of long range, ballistic missiles, as low as the fighter jets would face a long and complicated journey to their target. raising the risk, the israel even further as a 3rd option is no official public reaction. but to instead take the shot or war back into the shadows. is real suspected to have a fascinated multiple iranian officials and nuclear researchers over the past decade. it also regularly strikes at a raining, and proxies in syria and lebanon, pushing retaliation into this gray area. without attacking iranian soil would likely allow israel to avoid the escalation. his allies,

like the u. s. had been trying hard to contain literally established a r and david miller from the economy again down with, for international peace, gave me his thoughts on israel is likely next move. i think there will be a response. even though the ronnie and strikes on saturday night cause early damage, a new president was sad news threshold was cross new rosalie savage. and i think these really simply cannot afford to allow this to go unchallenged. this is the 1st time in 33 years that a another state. 1991 was saddam hussein was 43 starting this was that these are so i think there will be in is or is really response. but the reality is, i think your, your report covered several baskets, the timing of this, the scale of it, the intensity of a, i think it's almost impossible to predict and you pointed out quite correctly that

it's conceivable that the response will be cover. um, i suspect it will be over, but um, uh, and most likely i would think against conventional military facilities, the rice, i'm so all we've asked for in i'm inevitable upward spiral of tensions from this point or does at some stage to do, does each side appear over the, the vague at the, the edge and look into the business side. all right, that's it, that's enough. well, i mean, i would say to you, really, even if you get through this a recurring phase, which is really quite extraordinary. the strategic competition between israel and erotic stock, or the n a none of the problems that fuel this relationship runs efforts to push us military out of the region affected around is now new,

clear weapons threshold state. they have all the elements to make a deliverable degree. nuclear device should they start to weaponized and their efforts to influence regional development. she did practice. none of this is going to be solved and these rallies clearly are going to try to establish, reestablish a measure measure of deterrence. um, so i, i think no, it is not available infected by him and make a prediction. i would say we're not headed toward what you and i would describe as a regional more. and let's be clear that would almost invariably trigger his bowl as inventory of high trajectory weapons, which frankly, unlike drones, roughly, it takes 12 to 15 minutes for cruise missiles to travel distance from iran to israel. his ball as guide presumed guys, munitions, that could cover most of the most of israel and there we're talking about minutes.

so i think these are always want to avoid that. but it remains to be seen whether or not they can find a way basically to do a rod which presented at least a calculator response between making this qualitatively quantitatively different than having the runny answer turned before on one hand, but not courting or triggering a response that would escalated to a regional contradiction. and so how is thought today is attacked likely to affect any hostage dale between each route and her mouth, which of course is part of iran, so called excess of resistance. a. yeah, a poorly, i'm afraid. i think the mouse yeah, eastern wire who is in some tunnel somewhere, meters below ground. and if i'm eunice, or rough, or maybe according to palestinian services, maybe even in a tunnel tal infrastructure in egypt. and i think city water is under no pressure,

no real urgency. these are always are basically want down the wrong campaign. they begun to facilitate under us pressure moore's humanitarian assistance. that's important for how much to maintain a postcard of the constituency among palestinians. uh, and i think some wire understands that his insurance policy to actually survive this depends on retaining costs. so i think generally these really strike and you get and certainly counter strike. how much has no interest whatsoever. they want to see this play out. they wanted october 7 to spur regional conference, confrontation and conflict if possible. so we're not under pressure, and frankly, let you know government as well. i think isn't in, isn't in a hurry either. despite the pressure from standard pressure from mazda and families, i have to release them. okay, thank you for uh walk us through that. so clearly iron, david miller and from the comedy and down with the international piece. thank you

so much. thank you. we'll take a look at some of the stories making news around the world now representing some countries around the world, making a power supply to more than $2100000000.00. and you monetary an 8 for some time. it's been a year since fighting pro kind of between the army and power. military's thousands have been killed and more than 8 and a half 1000000 people displaced since the start of the conflict. a church leader and several others have been not wounded in a knife attacked during the village of service in sydney, australia. mon was seen on the live stream, approaching the bishop and stopping him several times. australia, police, i've ever arrested a 15 year old boy. the georgian opposition lead to his punch, the senior member of the georgian government during a complementary debates of the controversial bill protest, as opposed to the foreign agents bill. they've got it. i've signed the building. the proposal has been nickname the russian low because of its similarity to be press if russian legislation used to sons critics and independent media.
