A colossal animal gone displayed for room. The. Were going to begin in these yeah, were supporters of the community does have taken to the streets of the countrys national de running against International Pressure to reinstate the deposed president. 9 days after the ministry to power supporters. A mocking 63 years since these are gained independence from funds that opposing moves by the west African Regional block echo was to try to reinstates president mohammed assume the groups impose sanctions. And its considering sending insurance as a last resort to leader of government or county. So he wont buy the depression and hes promising a peaceful transition to democratic elections. Of the property knew julia also of a sense of duty interfered with the people of an issue are aware of the seriousness of the situation facing our country. We have always been humble enough to listen to all the parties concerned and open to dialogue. So that once everyones emotion have subsided, we can Work Together to create the conditions for a peaceful transition fee leaving in a relatively short and reasonable time to general elections. But the above all, to a better approach in our fight that gets to reason. And the other economic and social skills that are undermining the shows different up front stuff. What else does it as if i do a lot that has our cars in these years capital in the army . He filed this report before award the some of the countries borders have reopened. Has i dont know what that up for one for the ill see much any. I may caution intention in the capital near me after the west African Regional block equal was started to implement is decisions in regard to the military council here in the share and due to my opinion, what the off the borders with bidding or close scores of Truck Drivers are sprayed in limbo as a result of the 5th sanctions imposed by new jersey, regional and international partners. After the military cool people see to see them. You know, the drivers cannot reach the part of clinton, which is vital for the economy of mid year and its export. And i gave you a about an hour for the measure. Youre also close as borders is yours, military council keeps pressing because they are currently waiving a battle for the sake of the country sovereignty. And this is why they think the support they receive from molly working of fossil and getting to who did not agree to implement the decisions made by the west African Regional blog. Meanwhile, western nations, mainly france, started evacuating a citizen and other europeans from this year out of fear of what could happen to their nationals in the country. These, after the cool, the toppled president mohammed doesnt have a lot, because uh, i guess the uh, the army, to one of the officers behind the cruise, the missing members of montes military governments, in bomber code to increase Security Cooperation between the neighbors. Former army chief of staff, so promoting says hes met mollys transitional president. Awesome. And going to and several ministers. Mommy and looking at faso both led by military governments, supports new jersey to leaders or defense ministers from echo was to be meeting in nigeria is capital to discuss the next steps. Charles stratford is following developments. Dot com is kind of gone. This is the 2nd day off. Is that meeting we understand is they try to come together with some sort of plan on how to deal with this crisis. Weve already said that glasses not put out of the question, potentially as a, as a lost result military intervention. But that of course, is trying to be avoided. We understand that once this meeting is over, the end proposals from those defense witnesses will be taken to their respective leaders and governments in, in the countries before agreed action is, is, is taken. We have heard already from the senegalese government, they say that they would be willing to put fluid troops to participate in any echo us action insight needs yet. Of course, yeah, International Pressures also be building up on these. Yeah, weve seen the sanctions imposed by the you buy from us at glass itself is frozen orphanages assets in the Regional Bank and stopped to transactions in dealing with the country. So despite that being said, mainly these diplomatic efforts, we also know that there has been an echo as delegation, 6 to nature in the last 24 hours or so. So theyre, theyre all diplomatic efforts ongoing and all eyes are on a boucher donald toms doing called seemed to face charges of conspiring to overturn his defeat. And the president ial election 3 years ago is about to set off from his golf tub in veterans to new jersey. To farm and us president , already for his criminal charges and 2 other cases. But this is the 1st indictment related to find. He was in the white house count reports from washington dc. The media is gathered security around the quote house is being wrapped up and the former president is due to be indicted on the most serious charges, yet brought against him. One of his lawyer says the defense rejects the trial date, envisioned by the prosecution to take President Trump to trial in 90 days, of course is absurd. The question is, why do they want to do that . If you want to seek justice, then you need to offer mister, present the president , trump an opportunity to get a hold of all the evidence. The federal judge who was chosen at random to hear the cases jamaican bone, tanya trip can. She was appointed by a bama in 2014. Shes presided over dozens of prosecutions relating to the attack on the capital on january the 6th 2021, which he has described in one judgment as a violent attempt to over throw the government. And it nearly succeeded with john joseph presided over an option in broad fight. Donald trump, in november of 2021. To prevent the white house from handing over documents to a house, select committee. He rejected the application saying on that occasion, the president is not a king, and the plaintive is not the president. In the conspiracy charges, the prosecution outlines the extent to which donald trump attempted to persuade his then Vice President , to refuse to certify the vote. Thats one of what the indictment says is a series of criminal acts and in relation to transactions leading up to and on january the 6 mike pins issued his strong goods criticism yet. And that on that day, President Trump asked me to put him over the constitution, but i chose the constitution. And i always will. And i, i, uh, i really do believe that anyone who puts himself over the constitution should never be president of United States. And anyone who asked someone else to put themselves over the constitution should never be president of the United States. Again, the former president s response was scaling in a lengthy message on his social media. Donald trump says of pence. He didnt fight against the election fraud, which will now be easily able to prove based on the most recent fake and document and information which will have to be made available to us. Finally, a really big deal. The v p had the power that mike didnt understand more than a 1000 people that being convicted on charges related to action stemming from this baseless claim of election fraud. Some sentence to present terms of up to 18 years. The charges of similar to those brought against donald trump. The mike kinda, ill just say arrest washington. Got into a cost of joining us, not from washington dc. Heidi, youre going to be leading us through whats gonna be happening over the next few hours. Weve just seen donald trump getting into one of the i think its for su, visa, or we can see that side is a bed minister of golf course in new jersey. Theyre not gonna be making the weight as a convoy through betterments or an up towards the courtroom there. Tell us what is going to happen once donald trump actually gets to the court in the process begins rob, this court house is ready and waiting for the former president s arrival all the entrances, except one have been sealed to the Public Access and within a few hours time is when we expect trump will have arrived here. Hes flying here on his private jet, and then hes expected to be escorted into the building, perhaps v in an underground entrance outside of the public view. And then he will be taken to have his fingerprints taken once again by federal marshals. And then there will be a brief court hearing. This is his chance to appear before a magistrate judge to hear those charges against him. Read out. She will make sure that he understands those charges and hell be allowed to submit a plea and he has said he will submit not guilty. All of that will play out if according to plan will be very short appearance. Perhaps the former president will speak to the press, maybe not as far as the scene surrounding all of this right now. Its been a pretty well controlled and peaceful scene since yesterday, when i was here all throughout this morning. Only a handful of protesters coming here and coming there, but nothing by way of the potential hundreds or thousands that some had predicted. Certainly a lot of law enforcement, a lot of press watching this is in bold minutes, 5 minutes. Mm hm. The defense for donald trump already has been launching some of these complaints and criticisms of, of the trial. In particular, its looking to try and move the trial away from washing in dc. Why wouldnt want to do that . Well here the jury panel, i will come from a district that in 2020 only 5 percent of voters in washington dc voted for trump. And his attorney say that makes this jury pool change it or biased. However, this is the venue that is most convenient to the facts of this case down the street, in fact, is where the capital stands that was attacked on january 6. Really at the heart of these charges that trump now faces. And so many are saying its very unlikely that this case would lead washington. But the present, the former president , also indicating that he really wants his version of the story to be heard. Even as he was leaving button in stir writing on his social media platform that hes on his way to do you see to be arrested. He says, and to have had a rested for having challenged, corrupt, rigged, and stolen election. It is a great honor. He wrote because i am being arrested for you to speaking directly to his supporters. So certainly this is not a person who wants to hide from this. He is coming here to head to face this head on. And frankly, in the past when he has been indicted, his pulling among his core base of supporters has only gone up words. And so not only the legal strategies at play here, but also the political strategy. Heidi just briefly do we have any hints about how his defendants are planning to respond to these indictments to yeah, weve heard his attorney speaking to the press saying that the 1st amendment should have put, should protect the former president. Because his claims of the election had been stolen, they say fall under free speech. Well that is addressed to a certain extent. And then diamond saying yes, he had the right to say anything. He wants him to even spread the false hood that the life that the election had been stolen. But prosecutor say the, the line that trump cross was when he went beyond just speaking, but then corrupt we pushed, sir, i guess, and his subordinates to try to take action that co that were, were meant to overturn the results of the election. He did so according to this, in diamonds, by pressuring state officials in the battleground states where he lost, as well as his own department of justice officials, as well as his own Vice President. Notably, all of these people refused to do as they were pushed to do by trump and by his surrogates and so that if we did that, the action being going any further except for this is a case of january 6th. When of course we saw that. So that mob approach from supporters marching to the capital at the be has, as a former president to try to stop congress from certified, jo bidens, when all of those facts laid out in this indictment, of course, thats not what will be discussed today. Again, its just a very perfunctory, 1st Court Appearance with this trial to be started at a later date, ports are waiting. Find out when that is whether or not it will happen before the next president ial election. Yeah, it may be a shortly, but at the same time the next few hours are going to be very significant. Heidi, thank you very much. Indeed, heidi joe castro, talking to us from washington, dc of the governing policies and bobbys being accused of undermining the potential for a free and fair election. Later this month. Human rights sports investigation says donald p. F is linked to violence, intimidation, congressman and refreshing. And the body is accused of weaponized in the Justice System against opponents president ial and parliamentary elections due to be held on august. The 23rd i show on the board of shots is Deputy Director of the African Division that Human Rights Watch. And she explains some of the concerns raised and the report this in the report, the highlights. And we make the findings that theres involved in government has not made it so big sions, under international and reaching in those to make sure that the Upcoming Elections are conducted in an environment that is free, fair impartial, and field bivens. And we didnt do research for 2 weeks in 18 in may this year, and we interviewed 28 people and we did, and i read this on the documents to come up to this finding the server concerns that we found while doing a research. The 1st one is related to those involved. We link transmission, which is the city t, according to the constitution, does it these days supposed to be non political. But since the 2002 elections does involve a link to a commission has been heavy, need to rise to use the word of one of our into periods. And even in this one we have, and we have some one linked to the army whose chief elections officer. And if you look at the violence in 2008, if we look at the violence in 2018, they were over a big of a company said to what happened, but it has to be no accountability for that. So the fact that the, the vin he sees the compulsion is a, is not puff is not in pushing you to come say we have made calls to the static and a members needs to put pressure on. Doesnt probably move at the top conversations with isnt probably government to make sure that the environment is more conducive for elections and that the election of the patient. So even if president non background, you prove state that only nations friendly to him, to the come to the country will be allowed to the elections. Then now we have the European Union and we have the sonic. And then we have uh, also commission of those who have to be cited, but they need to have access to all parts of the country. That is very important to make sure that the that is happening on the ground. Right. Dusty mont appear is volkswagen. Far as in bobbys governing is, i know p f e spoke to us either by phone. How do you describe the Human Rights Watch report as a fantasy novel . If you look at the content of the documents, you have so many falls within so many missed correct uh, states that this puts in that and you find that this thing that were looking to open. The reason for messing where i live yet the police eventually blocked the most on a few fridays on the opposition. If they would do, you have to check for them to do objective representation though it is monday and to top of violence from 2008 for the defense, little bit to the, to the or for independence. 197. 00 tonight. And thats a beatles. Excessive lucas history. Why . Why dont these people say binding, but just opening this yet. But as they have to report this, its really expensive. What police, all police have brought to a default, or at least 259. 00 of the opposition. So all of the police a working in favor of done a p. If this is something i thought the should tons of a going back. Those have resumed and the largest refugee come from palestinians in lebanon. 3 people were injured overnight as a fraudulent seas far ended. 5 days of fierce fighting between the bible functions as killed 13 people. As in all the reports from the camp, tens of thousands of palestinians have been effected, as well as nearby neighborhoods. This is one of the front lines and i know heavily at the moment there was a law in the violence and lebanons largest palestinian refuge account behind this barrier is a strong hold of sham. This shim, an armed group, involved in the latest factional fighting. This is usually a bustling market, up to 60000 palestinians, live in a 1. 5 square kilometer area. People are scared to venture outside the day and the most of the situation is not stable. We dont know what to do. Many people are displaced and living in mosques and science are with that family straight. Bullets and rockets are landing not just inside the camp, but a nearby neighborhood. Several people have been killed and many more injured. In some areas, the destruction is extensive. Have you know, these are our homes, our shops, they have been burned down, everything has been burned. So the residents of i know how do we, our poor palestinian refugees, have few rights and are not allowed to hold jobs and many professions in lebanon. Hold on how lovely i knew. This was my fathers shop. He used to sell coffee and cigarettes to be able to buy food. Now weve lost our livelihood. We are destroyed. Do you and relief and works agency, which is a lifeline for people here. How suspended Services Including health care, since the conflict began on saturday, efforts to end the fighting have failed. The main stream for the movement is demanding the killers of one of its commanders be brought to justice. The movers are the ones that by the state of entering the camp and using it as a safe haven, and they are wrong. Every now and then there is an assassination and then the violent stop still what, what, how this is what its been like for nearly a week. Automatic weapons and rockets, fire are being used as rival faction struggles for dominance. And i know holloway which is outside the 11 east governments jurisdiction. The people here say they are tired and scared. Theyve watched shaky truces fails. In recent days, they say even a permanent cease fire wont be enough to bring about a semblance of security and safet
