Lawyers for donald trump are set to make their first appearance before judge chutkan today. She scheduled a hearing on the handling of the evidence on the case against trump for plotting to overturn the 2020 election. The Special Counsel is asking for Jury Selection in that trial to start in december with a presentation of evidence beginning january 2 of next year. Trumps attorneys are expected to push back given all the former president s other legal entanglements. They include fraud, defamation and hush money cases in new york, plus charges that trump mishandled classified documents after he left the white house. Judge chutkan also said that she could have something to say today about trumps recent attacks on Special Counsel jack smith. The former president has repeatedly called him deranged. And on thursday he lashed out at the proposed january trial date posting on social media only an out of touch lieu that ittic would ask for such a date one day into the new year. Trial should only happen if at all after the election. Meanwhile in florida, trumps codefendants in the maralago case, walt nauta and Carlos De Oliveira appeared in court. Nauta plead not guilty by de oliveiras aaignment was postponed. And in michigan all 16 charged in the fake elector scheme have now pleaded not guilty. They each face eight Felony Charges including multiple counts of forgery. His legal problems notwithstanding, donald trump will campaign at the Iowa State Fair on saturday and so with almost everybody else. But if any of those republican challengers hope to catch trump, they still have a long way to go. We get more now from jeff zeleny. Reporter the annual Iowa State Fair is unfolding with a hearty sign of politics as nearly every republican president ial candidate is descending on the state in the coming days to make their case to iowans about their president ial hopes. Of course the Iowa Caucuses opened the nominating contest january 15th, leaving the candidates less than six months to make their case. And there is no doubt that donald trump is the frontrunner in this campaign. He will be here at the state fair saturday. But several others are as well. But his former Vice President mike pence was visiting the fair on thursday, was asked a very pointed question about his actions on january 6. He defended them like this there is almost no idea more unamerican than the notion that any one person could pick the american president. I mean, the american presidency belongs to the American People and the American People alone. People deserve to know that on that day, the former president asked me to choose him over my oath to the constitution. I chose the constitution and i always will. Reporter from that crowd at least, he received applause. Of course this is still an uphill challenge for the former Vice President to make his way through this very crowded primary with so many other candidates. Of course the Iowa Caucuses are less than six months away, but before that critically is the first republican president ial debate. That takes place in less than two weeks in milwaukee. Four candidates have already signed the Loyalty Pledge that requires them to sign to support the nominee to get on stage. Former President Trump has not said if he will compete in the debate or not. But clearly the Republican Campaign is heating up as many of the other candidates are trying to catch the frontrunner as they introduce themselves to iowa voters. Jeff zeleny, cnn, des moines.

Reporter four americans being moved out of the notorious prison and joining the fifth under house arrest. Three of them, Siamak Namazi and two others have been held by iran for years. Sources telling cnn that their full freedom is part of an elaborate millity National Effort involving billions of dollars and potential prisoner swap. Among those potential plans, giving tehran easier access to 6 billion in iranian funds currently held in south korea. A source familiar with the negotiations saying that there would still be strict limitations on how that money could be used. For their part, iran also says five iranian prisoners in the u. S. Would be released as part of the deal. But the Biden Administration still needs to finalize some details in the coming weeks leaving plenty of room for something to go wrong. All we know now is that they are out under house arrest. What happens next is anyones guess.

And were learning more about a new wave of Missile Strikes on ukraine. Air defenses have been at work in kyiv and in Western Ukraine and some Missile Fragments have fallen on the major city. Salma abdelaziz is joining us. What more can you ityou tell us . In the early hours of this morning, families were told to take shelter because the air Defense Systems were at work. Officials in kyiv saying highway sonic missiles fired by the air were making their way towards the capital. We do understand now that the Air Raid Sirens have been turned off and some frag thes have lal landed in kyiv. And also attacks to the south of the capital in a region that is often targeted because there is an Ukrainian Air base there. So a continuation there of course of russian attacks far from those front lines. Speaking of those front lines, ukrainian Officials Saying today that Russian Troops are essentially trying to pull them away from the Southern Front which has been kyivs main focus towards kharkiv where Ukrainian Forces say russia has been sendings the enforcements, tank reinforcements, Airborne Power to try to launch further intensified attacks in that northern region. So intense were these attacks that one region near kharkiv was ordered, families were ordered to evacuate from their homes this week. Officials there think that dozens of airstrikes were occurring every single day in that region. Russia is claiming that it has been able to make some gains. Well see if they have been able to solidify them or if ukraine can push back. But it illustrates the issue in this counteroffensive which is that you have hundreds of miles of frontlines of active fighting, Ukrainian Forces stretched thin and resources stretched then. Ia using their a superiority. And as you mentioned President Biden requesting 24 billion in additional aid with very few successes if n. N hand. Last night we heard that hotel in zap was orizhzhia was. What more do you know about that . This is an attack that the United Nations called appalling. It is a hotel in the Zaporizhzhia Region used by the United Nations and other humanitarian organizations. We have video to show you of the aftermath of that attack. It is also used as a childrens camp. By just a stroke of luck those children were the team at their camp ended just an hour prior. I want to play so viewers can hear the terror on the ground. Absolutely horrifying. And again, for the United Nations, for ukrainians, this is another illustration of civilians of innocents being caught in the crossfire. And complete disregard for any international conventions. Salma abdelaziz, thank you so much. As ukraine tries to make a breakthrough in its counteroffensive, russian state media are making their own push on the airwaves. Their take on the ukrainian offensive is that it is already dead in the water. Matthew chance reports. Reporter this is how the russians say they are taking advantage of ukraines flagging counteroffensive. The latest Defense Ministry pictures showing Russian Forces advancing on land and in the air.

Reporter on the countrys flagship news show, they are already branding ukraines Counteroffensive A Bust Looping videos of ukrainian troops and western supplied kit getting bogged down, ridiculing what they say are western excuses for ukraines failure. At first westerners justified ukrainian failures with the weather, general frost the anchor says. Later it was general mud, and now the turn of russian army aided by the greenery, this insurmountable obstacle is why the Ukrainian Forces are failing to push forward she says. In fact, ukraine says that it is making progress albeit slow without the weapons it says that it desperately needs to overcome heavily defended russian lines. And it is going on the offense stepping up Drone Attacks on russian shipping and other targets to Pressure Moscow and disrupt supply lines. Bringing home russias special Military Operation like never before. Were all shocked that it is happening here says this woman in moscow, about you were not P Politicians so we dont want to comment. Ive got two kids and i want to stop being as shamed had they were born in this time says another.

Supreme court is Blocking Oxycontin Maker Purdue Phrma from moving forward with its opoid settlement saying it will hear arguments in the case this december. Until recently purdue was controlled by the Sackler Family who withdraw billions before filing for bankruptcy. Under the Bankruptcy Agreement the sacklers would be protected from all future lawsuits related to the opoid epidemic. The settlement between purdue and several u. S. States was agreed upon in march after years of negotiation. Ohios Attorney General said he is disa pointed that the Supreme Court is getting involved. This war is fought on the ground of our streets of our cities and counties. It is so important to get the money flowing. It has been since 2019. The u. S. Government calls the arrangement that would protect the sacklers an abuse of the bankruptcy system. U. S. Screen writers and Hollywood Studios have agreed to meet in the coming hours to resume negotiations, it would be the first such meeting since may 2 in a move that has crippled the entertainment industry. Both sides remain far apart on issues like pay and residuals. The Union Representing 160,000 actors is also on strike. Mean type the 75th Emmy Awards have been pushed back to january due to the ongoing strikes. The Television Awards show has historically taken place in september but organizers announced last month that it would be postponed. The ceremony is now scheduled to air Monday January 15 which is also Martin Luther king jr. Day in the United States. There is a growing movement in the u. S. Of ordinary citizens filming Police Encounters and sharing them on line. Activists say it is another way to hold Law Enforcement accountable and also causing some backlash and a string of new laws. Josh campbell has this. This is a public sidewalk. This is a traffic stop. Does mr im far away. Reporter cop watching. People recording interactions between the police and public and posting them online. Where they are wracking up millions of views. Having the film ourselves from a different perspective allows us to document the incident, document the misconduct and then from there we can take it to the public. Reporter cop watching or First Amendment auditing is hardly a new trend. Can i get your badge number . Reporter but more prevalent in recent years after a 2020 video shot by a 17yearold bystander captured the murder of george floyd by a minneapolis officer using Excessive Force. If it wasnt for somebody actually filming that incident, no officer would have been held accountable. It is powerful when we can actually show the public what happened as opposed to a police narrative. Reporter cop watchers say their goal is to keep the police from overstepping and to inform people of their rights. And while they rake in views, some are also making money. From ads and subscriptions. But while critics say some Cop Watchers Film in ways that are controversial or seen as aggressive towards Law Enforcement am i be on Stru Obstructing Roadway . Reporter and it could be increasing tensions. I personally think i he calm down the situation. We all act differently when people are watching. So youve arrived at a scene, started filming and seen a noticeable which i think in the posture of police . Every night. All the time. Ive reviewed a lot of video taken by citizens regarding Police Conduct and it does give you a chlearer picture of what actually took place. Reporter videos can be selectively edited but when legitimate offer a different view than an officers body camera. As long as the officers actions are consistent with their training, with their Department Policy and most of all are constitutional, then it is not a problem. At all. Reporter in recent years several states have tried to pass laws creating more physical distance between people and police. Last month a new law in indiana went into effect ordering people to stay 25 feet back from Police Activity when asked. This week aclu sued saying it violated a journalists rights. First amendment allows me to do this. Reporter the law was put on hold. People have a right to film the police. They dont have a right to interfere with the police trying to do their jobs and make an arrest. But they have every right in the world to film. That is just a fact and Police Officers have to adapt to it. Reporter even Police Officers who dont necessarily like being filmed have to understand that were never going back to the days when filming wasnt as ubiquitous as today because nearly all of us carry around a camera in our pocket. And what was interesting is seeing the commonalty between the cop watchers and Law Enforcement. Cap watchers thinks that film helps protect members of the public, but even a lot of people in Law Enforcement think that filming can be beneficial because if a Police Officer is wrongly accused of Excessive Force the video may tell a different story.

West African Leaders are raising the stakes in their stance against the Military Junta that seized power last month. At a meeting thursday of ecowas, leaders called for the activation and deploy the of a Regional Standby force to restore order. To actity way the Standby Force with all its elements immediately. Order deployment of the ecowas Standby Force to restore Constitutional Order in the republic of niger. Larry madowo is joining us to discuss this. What more can you tell us about this force and would it be likely to shape Decision Making of the junta in any way . Reporter so this Standby Force is supposed to be one that can be deployed rapidly to situations like these Military Coups which have become quite common. This region used to be known as africas coup belt. But this is not something that can be quickly assembled. It takes some time to get together. In fact in gambian 2017, it took seven weeks to send necin in ecs troops. So not likely to change the minds in junta. If anything, it is likely to make a them even more obstinate in their decision to take over power from Mohamed Bazoum who remains detained. And some say they consider this a Terrorist Act and these men did not release president bazoum, they should get in there and get him out. And talking tough saying that they would contribute to west african countries sending in this army to niger, but they did not admit did not share a time line. Which means that the way we read this, they are still exploring diplomacy but not taking the military option off the table. Is there unity in the approach of ecowas or are there divisions in different ways to approach this in the restoration of democracy . Reporter ecowas maintains that all the Heads Of State that met agreed unanimously to do this Standby Force, to send it to niger. But i have to point out ecowas is already divided between the military sides and civilian democratically led sides. And so niger has support from its neighbors who are all head by Military Juntas. So they are sticking together against all the other 11 democratically led countries that have said this is one coup too many and if they allow this to happen, then they feel they could be next. I think that is a very important point. Larry madowo, thank you so much. When india announced an export ban on white rice last month, there were fears that it could trigger a global food crisis.
