It is a new week, new month, this is something you do not see every day that is the former president of the United States donald trump at a new york courthouse attended the beginning of a civil trial in the case of new York Attorney Letitia James who was sitting back to the right of him two rows away and the judge arthur anger presiding over a trial of sdm in one, this is so unusual and unprecedented we thought we would explore in more detail because it concerns a former president idea that his very lifeblood it is very Business Empire is being called into question by people who are in no position to question him or have the proof to debate it. For the next segment were you to be looking at the ramifications of this in our eyes, perhaps the most important of all the battles he faces with legal challenges around the country.

New developments by the minute as a deadline passes in the lives of two isis hostages. Jordan made clear its prepared to make a deal with terrorists to swap prisoners. Isis had vowed to kill a jordanian Fighter Pilot and japanese journalist kenji goto if jordan did not release a wouldbe suicide bomber who is on death row in jordan. That wouldbe bomber is sagida al rishawi. Her explosive vest did not go off during a string of bombings that killed 57 people in amman.
