For you as President Donald Trump pleads not guilty to be unimpressive as charges as conspiring to remain in office. The spices defeats in the 2020 president ial election. The persecution of a political opponent. This was never supposed to happen in america. A milestone for peace of columbia, a 6 month cease fire between the governments and the countrys largest for many revel, group, formally begins, and bigger than a blue whale and heavier than a dinosaur. The remains of a colossal animals stolen display in pattern the would begin in these era where the qu, leaders have declared that they will and a range of military cooperate nation agreements with its key western allies. France is also end of the mandates of new jersey and bassett, or is too fast nigeria and togo, and the United States. The generals vowed to respond to any aggression by western african countries whose deadline to restore order in the share expires in days. Charles stratford reports now from the car instead of gal can reach much in the streets of new jersey capital in the show of support for military to the shaking many west african countries on the International Bankers because of the potential secuity indications for the inside region. The french all new must get out of it. Yeah. Theres no reason for them to be a new tier. Now they are the terrorist defense ministers from echo as met for a 2nd day in like year in capital. A boucher to discuss how to resolve the crisis. The Regional Economic and Security Organization says military intervention in this year. It could be a last result and i took the risk for the lead with ms as to is refusing to bank down. It says he hopes for a peaceful solution. For the property, weve always been humbled enough to listen to all the parties concerned and open to dialogue so that everyones emotions have subsided. We can Work Together to create the conditions for peaceful transition, leading in a relatively short, unreasonable time to general elections, but above all, to a better approach in our fight against terrorism and other economic and social ills. When did you send the goals or is it with participation . In echo once minutes we operation the Regional Office post to intervene. Why most of that love yet . Why should i still just go there . They are going for 2 reasons. The 1st is because we are in the Community Organization that has decided that and that is called a cost center goal is an international signatory. We can be a member of a cost without subscribing to the decisions taken by it. That folds the form of colonial pallets of which to support which is directed. Much of their anger said is a, had completed in the back. You ation of over a 1000 people most of the 600 bridge. This is the 7th qu in west africa in recent years, the seems to the military leadership in molly, in between the fastest french and u. N. Troops to leave. And these yeah, was seen as one of the last by stevens of an International Equity to pick um, smart devices. And they were calling the fonts and the us had places in jack russia has condemned the to which some demonstrations have carried russian flags, which the applicant countries in the western bank is 5th, the russian motion. Recruit wagner. Really helping model indicating that fast so flat on groups may step into the security. That team also knew jeff about who say who is acting with terror attacks on the roys never fees on groups responsible could take advantage of a further deterioration in the security situation. The new head of echo last night, jerry is president paula to new bu, advice, concerns about the regional blocks ability to prevent mall cruise and flight on groups. And that was before the ministry takeover in news. Yeah. How echo us responds in the coming days while avoiding a violent escalation is one of the Biggest Challenges this region has faced in decades. Ill stop it, ill just arrow the call i. Its also the jerry and president mohammed by zoom is calling for International Support in op ed for the Washington Post by the room says he is still held as hostage he called on washington and the entire International Community to restore Constitutional Order in the country. And hes adding that should the could succeed, it would have devastating consequences for new share. What we want to bring in to day more. He is the senior policy fellow at the center for Global Development is also the former library administer for public works. He joins us now from washington, dc. Now mr. Moore wants to ask you, what is behind the gentle leader, scrapping the security patch. What exactly does this mean . But thanks for having me again. Well, because the condemnation, so if you listen to the speech, but leo, the on that hes booked against everyone whos condemned to cool. And because the fridge, they can union figured out as this, have been among some of the most strident condemned as of the cause you can imagine, thats why. And the 2nd thing is, is the base garden. These are actually has the operation measure. It now is the last bastion of western action against towers elsewhere in africa. And so in the gym the leaves the meter visual current, konita, leisure, i believe the leverage over the west on this question. How, how could this affect both new share and france in the future . I mean, is there was a key ally for both in the fight against armed groups and the celebration. What impact could this have . So 1st isnt clear if theyre going to act 1st, they finish areas cancel their security arrangement differential forward indicated that they do not recognize that government, that its illegitimate and therefore they will not listen to them. So it is on clear if any jeremy is still getting actually on one of the americans audited or the french will listen to a box and a friend that actually do it hampers the ability to prosecute the war against arteries and elsewhere. And kind of as you know, the banking data, molly and book in a fossil and to share with some of the last bastion of west inner city efforts. Finally against our resume. So 1st thats going to make it really difficult. The United States also meant is a drone base there, and the ability to continue to use the drugs is that the also have or if it went to end, the partnership with me here. However, more than 40 percent of the budget comes from worsting partners comes from a more than 42 percent of new jersey is live on 111. 90 a day. Less than that, tanisha has a really, really poor country and the ability of this year to continue to sustain providing service as far as people with a partnership with the west or as partners elsewhere in the world will be very, very difficult. So you can see how now this relationship forming of parts will have impact on both sides. So in terms of falling apart and then is there a fear that this could lead to military escalation . It was what were going to see. What happens over the weekend. Um, as the important know that echo was military cheese, a meeting today and they are going to make a proposal, but it has a state obviously to hoping that amount of their competition would be the last option. Last resort. And hopefully that doesnt. It doesnt come to that, but you can see from air force going to pondering to find themselves in. This is the 4th group happening in the region. Is it do not answer here. If they do not respond to your forcibly, then what is left at the defense across the region bar. So supporting and innovation and does your and does your is not like very mature is necessarily on here. It is not down guys and significantly bigger countries. And the military has some political products, so you can imagine how best you could, it could become one a whole set that would be something other than a resort to, for us to resolve this. Indeed. All right, j more appreciate you joining us from washington, dc. He is a senior policy fellow, the center for Global Development. Thank you. I or, or why just stay in washington dc, but were going to turn to another topic now in the United States of america versus donald j. Trump. The former us president has pleaded not guilty to for federal charges and conspiring to clean power, despises to feed in the 2020 president ial election. And charles appeared in a Federal Court House again, washington dc, just about one kilometer away from the capital building, which was stormed by his supporters on january 6th. 2021 is the 3rd criminal case against the republican front runner. But one that goes to the heart of american democracy, allan fisher force now from washington. Donald trump wants to return to washington as president , but he couldnt get out of town fast enough after his most recent quarter, billions, claiming the charges against him. What about blocking his route back to the oval office . When you look at whats happening, this is a persecution of a political opponent. This was never supposed to happen in america. In a 27 minute federal court appeared and see played not guilty to 4 charges. Supporters gathered outside the court house, far fewer than protected, far fewer than the trump camp expected march are probably going to get more popular. Is seen a lot of them make him more boxes are right here. The former president faces for charges 3 of conspiracy to undermine the results of the 2020 election one of obstruction. His claims of fault, a fraud, and the regularities let his supporters to storm the capital, trying to stop the peaceful transfer of power. His defence, americas 1st amendment, the right of free speech. Hes already been saying hes going to talk about the 1st amendment that he had a right to say what every once. And while its true, you do have the right to say whatever you want. He went a steps many, many steps beyond saying whatever you want, it is, the actions that he took it as an extra effort that he went to 3 criminal indictments to congressional impeachment. On a former president is to say no real damage done to his application. Among republicans, he still remains the pop these favorite to win the president ial nomination. And that might not change, even if hes got to spend weeks off the campaign trail defending himself in federal court island fisher. Ill just go to washington. All right, we want to stay with the story were going to bring in stephen is in us. He is a political professor of, or is professor of Political Science that is at the university of San Francisco and he joins us now from San Francisco. Lets talk about this case a little bit. We want to kind of dive in deep. Uh, you know, the president has been, this is his 1st indictment, but hes sort of wrapped of a collection of them and spill. He seems to be continuing to enjoy a, as the st. Popularity is the current president , as he moves towards trying to get the republican nomination. Why is that . What do you think he can sustain that . It is really bizarre, that there are so Many Americans are of nearly one out of 3. Who still believe that the present dropped is in the sense of any wrong doing, despite all the evidence against them then. And then most of these, so i want him to become president. Yeah. I, its not quite fair, i think compared to, to by his popularity, because i think there certainly those who may not like a lot of by just policies, but recognize at least hes not a truck and with the head. So i think hes the still would be the favorite to if he goes running against the trump in a general election, yet is best clear that the truck does have support of the majority of republicans. And that he is indeed very likely to go to the United Nation again, despite all these charges against him. But given the fact that we are expecting more charges against the president , do we think that long term he could still get the republican nomination . Or even though there are other contenders who arent even close, could that change . If possible to change the dates . Uh, we are still uh uh, quite a few months away from the 1st time there is a but the, the, the, the, the a router or change system of president ial primaries and caucuses of there is part the 2 parties have in terms of choosing there, not a need is quite a, you know, certainly have to have the georgia partner support to get the majority of delegates to the convention. You need just simply have a formality you enough states that to do so. And looks like because trump is so far ahead of the other potential arrivals and he will indeed be able to do this unless something unexpected happens. Or either, if there are additional, even if there are additional charges coming from the georgia case, for example. It appears that these arent just taking the, it was course supporters at all, given the fact that there have been so many indictments against this present, including one that is eminent. Is it fair the claim by the former president that the Justice System in the United States has been weaponized against him . No, i mean they, this is not a, an action being pursued by the, by the ministration. This is an independent prosecutor who uh, who collected the evidence excellent before ranger a. These are 23. 00 americans, chosen random to weigh the evidence of, of warrant against and found probable cause for an indictment. And so its not like President Biden or his attorney general ordered. This prosecution is really based on the evidence, the way any criminal a process is due for it in the United States justices. All right, were going to leave it there. Thank you so much, stevens. This is professor of Political Science at the university of San Francisco. Thanks for joining us. Bye button, or alright, well, so ahead analysis 0. Well, find out why a planned mass burial for People Killed in india is manny for stage. Ethnic conflict is halted the color that when i start with a checkup on our tie furnace, you can see the system here to the north of taiwan. Still a clearly defined on the storm, but its in the process of weakening will be it slowly. Its actually pushing up into the is trying to say a little bounce its way back to those northern parts of the requirements as we go one through the next couple of days. Eventually, just clipping the fall south of q issue scattering a shout was a into japan some heavier. So i was to just pushing into north korea, but south crest ice hots the spring, he wave continuing care, halting off fence, some larvae, showers the cause, no deposit of china, some shot was typical southern areas of china joining up with the wet weather that we have across northern, possible vietnam through loss because scattering a shower has their cross match all in the chart of, of the heavier ones to the north of the region, just a scattering of showers more the west sunshine, the showers that for malaysia. And also for indonesia. Finding a shot with some very heavy right. Meanwhile, across the good parts of the central and northern india was clot just films around much of the dash. Pushing up into the protests, up to the final move a positive focused on. We will see the shelves becoming more widespread, just around the foothills of like, im a last because that shows i 6, im have you showers over the next few days of the dreaming of some little more amazing facility youll find accelerating. And incredible days in order. If you want, you can just 16. Its all hearing stuff. Theres a couple of dot com. Power defines out loud, we live here, we make the rule, not the people empower, investigate, exposure and acquaintance, and they use them to be use of our around the analogy there, the, [000 00 00;00] the, the watching l to 0. Reminder of our top story is this, our is yours. To leaders have declared that theyll result some military cooperation agreements with france. Supporters of the military takeover rallied in the capital on the Countries National day to protest against International Pressure for sections and reinstating the deposed press. The former you, as President Donald Trump has pleaded not guilty for federal charges related to attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. Trumpets call the political persecution. Judge has set the next course, hearing from august 28th a 6 month cease. Fire has formerly begun between columbia as largest remaining rubble, groups, and government forces, commanders of the National Liberation army or land signed and deal. After negotiations in cuba, it is the 1st step towards the per minute and to hostilities with the arm through advocacy. It is a significant victory for president , gustavo petro. Within 450000 people, were killed in nearly 60 years of conflict in columbia. And that i would assume is thats a lot really low either this revolution is on the side of the licensee. Weapons are nothing but an instrument of death. Leave them let them rust me about a secret key. And it seems to me that those who emerged in 1964 as rebels in other generations today should be here on the side of life on the side of their people on the side of transformational it is time. So welcome to piece that, ask you all right, well i will look a little bit deeper into the story now. This spring and savannah am on my i. She is a political analyst and she joins us now. Live from boca to mrs. Maya, talk to us a little bit about the significance of the cease fire. What do the government officials hope it will attain in the long term . To thank you for having me. Yes, this is relevant because, i mean, this is not the 1st time the a government of columbia tries to make a negotiation of a Peace Agreement with the land. However, these give some hope for the people that live in those terry stores that thats taken into account that the lennys present being 22 out of 32 of the departments of columbia. And even though theres some skepticism about these, theres also some hope that things could get better. But there are some criticism that the ceasefire can actually be verified even though they do. And i agree yesterday uh to um, to support the mission of, of observation of monitoring the ceasefire. Its still a little bit difficult to understand. This is going to be exactly how the people expect because deal and also had stablish that even though they will not a part of fire against the police and the armed forces of columbia that they could defend themselves. And thats also remind, remind themselves that there are other groups that kind of part of the lynn and these are not guarantee a specific piece in the entire territory. So its a bit difficult, but we understand that theres some hope that things can get better and the people of those communities are obviously happy about this news. You touched on solve this already, but give us a, a sense of the overall skepticism about the cease fire. Mean, what are the challenges of making this stick . So lets say that it has not been the 1st time that a group agrees. A group has committed itself to a ceasefire, so its difficult to verify and its difficult to comply. We dont know exactly how difficult or how realistic it is that in all these remote areas of the country, the elaine will actually comply. And this also stablished of these group is not very durante called, theyre not they, they dont really follow the order so that sometimes some of these groups or sub groups cannot actually do what their leaders are saying. And they can confront both of the story based on other groups. And thats also keeping to account that they are involved with may legal economies. Theres, theyre not the traffic. There is also the legal mining and they will keep orville pursue the 2nd day, which is which is a bit difficult. Thats all the establishment of a piece and sort of the order of these of the territory can be guaranteed. And this is why theres so many of skepticism also because of the political grounds and the political difficulties that the government is facing. Not only with the stomach bug with further situations that are affecting the govern ability in the country right now. And we know that its just the millions that have been caught in the midst of all of this and the present. Petra, he, he campaigned enterprise, total peace. What is the government doing now to kind of ensure that the ceasefire will be a success . Its difficult because imagine having different parties, they have be a lamb. They have also, the fact is to go through, but lets remain remind the public that the there was a, a visa chord with the far back in 2016. But some of the defendants do, did not actually gave up the weapons on are still continuing with the legal economies. And we have also some other guys that are involved in not contract because they controlled some of the territories. So having that many parties involved in the conflict in a country that has such a typical geography, it is difficult to guarantee to the people that they actually will get some uh, better conditions of security. So with our border with better swear, that is one of the most difficult areas in the country. It is hard for the people to have like better circumstances of security and that they actually feel safe. But i guess the, the skepticism is real and it has some background behind that supports the way that people feel towards this. And unfortunately, it is very difficult that the circumstances get better all id watch and the, the government right now is trying to negotiate and not only would be a land, but with the different groups of the same time. And i think that having that many data, lots of peas seeming, tanya, is the, is very ambitious and also very challenging. Indeed it is ambitious. All right, were going to leave it there, silvan, im, i out, we appreciate you joining us here in elgin 0. Shes joining us from bogota, thank you. Thank you. All right, well war and rising prices are at least partly to blame for me for like food and security worldwide with 345000000 people in need of help. Now thats according to the World Food Program, sudan, human add afghanistan, top the list of those with the most urgent needs. Kristen salumi reports in the United States called the Security Council meeting on the role of conflict in fueling food and security at a time when global food prices are rising, the secretary of state antony, blinking announced 300 and 62000000. 00 in new funding for haiti and 11 african countries, knowing that green prices have increased 8 percent since russia pulled out of the black sea grand initiative and began bombing ukrainian ports. The initiative was meant to protect food shipments, leaving ukraine and russia. Every member of the United Nations should tell moscow enough enough, using the black sea as blackmail enough treating the worlds most valuable people as leverage. Enough of this on, justified unconscionable war. But russia, whose president Vladimir Putin recently met with African Leaders and promised to send 3 grain to 6 of them, pointed a finger back at the United States. Its hard not to notice that the amount of assistance provided by the us and its allies. So the countries of the global south cannot be compared to what the west has spent on the weapons in less than 2 years for its proxy war. The World Food Program has seen its costs increased by nearly 50 percent in the last year, and funding for humanitarian assistance has not kept pace. Forcing some hard decisions for aid workers. They are struggling with critical funding shortfalls, and theyre only able to reach 50 percent of the need. They are faced with the impossible decision of which half of the children can live and which half will be sentenced to death. African countries are among those heard most by rising food. Prices was on beek a close on the security code. So to do all the needs power towards the achieving association of a still, it is in all conflicts that continue to claim human lives. All Security Council members agree in principle, food should not be used as a weapon of war. They even signed a statement saying as much, but todays comments suggest it will have little impact on those conflicts currently causing the most har. Kristen salumi al jazeera, the United Nations, a mass burial for dozens of People Killed and ethnic violence. India is ne manny 1st aid has been postponed over contested burial grounds. Michael apple reports the music is jovial, but the mood is some thousands of cookie men and women have gathered in the tribal district of chanc, poor planning to hold a mass burial. But they is a dispute of a way the bodies can be buried. This fault is 19 year old son was shocked. Dade wily gone, it is village and theyd hoped to be able to lay interest at you. I wouldnt be me.

And most of the christian cookie tribes sparked by a court ruling which recommended that the government should consider the demand from a section of may tase for access to government jobs and education opportunities.
