Welcome to the beat weekend. I am ari melber. Lets get right into the headlines. Jack smith making new pitch on behalf of the doj on what donald trump must be put on trial before the election. If that sounds like a familiar issue, just remember, jack smith has more than one case against Defendant Trump. The defendant was done and in Federal Court today watching as doj prosecutors argued for a july beginning to a trial and the other jack smith case. Billy and the way, we discussed a big coup case and the Supreme Court slowing that down. This is the classified documents case. You probably remember. Both and they are saying over at the doj there is nothing in their roles or process which prevents this trial, on the documents, from occurring and weeks even days before the election. Remember, it is trump
at a single university to one of the biggest internet platforms in the world today. hello, it s laura in the studio. paddy in the studio. and it s chris in belfast. i just think it s absolutely fabulous to see you on this in a way, you two created the newscast. there were others involved. there were katya and adam are dearfriends, yes. does it all come back to you? because brexit was one of the big dividing lines in the whole of northern ireland. that s why you re there, chris. yeah, true. yeah, no, absolutely. and actually, the last couple of days covering this story here and then in london before it did take me back, in fact, at one point i was talking to katya on the television and it really took me back to the brexit days of trying to, particularly as far as the northern ireland element of the story is concerned, untangle which is what all of this has been about the complexities of northern ireland politics and the complexities of brexit. throw those two together
houthis in yemen. now, this comes after the houthis defied the u.s. and fired yet another missile into those red sea shipping lanes. we are getting a defense expert to give us analysis and should have him up, ready, and on camera in moments. meantime, just three days until iowa voters decide who they think the republican nominee for president should be. aishah hasnie is live in des moines iowa where voter turnout could be affected by extremely icy and cold conditions. aishah, good evening. reporter: trace good evening to you. the campaign trail has already been impacted by the severe weather. tonight, former president trump had to cancel two of his rallies tomorrow on saturday and a third on sunday leaving just one rally left. he said on truth social tonight that he is going to try to get to iowa by tomorrow night, possibly sunday morning. we ll see if that happens. meanwhile florida governor ron desantis, his schedule is also changing not due to the weather, though. he s n
