at a later date. trump who has denied all charges, spoke shortly after surrendering himself to authorities, defending his actions after the 2020 election. it isa it is a sad day for america. this should never have happened. if you challenge an election i think you should be able to challenge it. i thought election was a rigged election, a style election. you have many people over the years to the same whether it is hillary clinton or stacey abrams, or many others. when you have the great freedom to challenge, you going to have to be able to otherwise you have a very dishonest election. what has taken place is is a travesty of justice. we did nothing wrong, i did nothing wrong. everybody knows i did not have that support. they are trying to interfere with an election. that has never been anything like it in our country before. this is that they way of campaigning and if this is one instance but you have three other instances, it is election interference, so i want to thank you for being here. we did nothing wrong at all and we had every right, every single right, to challenge an election that we think is dishonest, that we think is dishonest, that we think is dishonest, that we think is very dishonest. thank you all very much and i will see very soon. and just last hour, former president donald trump's mugshot was released. this is from the reuters news agency. we had heard this would be part of the booking. this is the first time in history a former us president has had his mugshot taken. earlier on thursday, former trump white house chief of staff mark meadows also surrendered in fulton county, as well as harrison floyd, former director of black voices for trump. theyjoin the case's other co—defendants who have already done so. among them top trump

counts against him. the full weight of the law is being thrown at donald trump in four different jurisdictions, in four different criminal cases and in this case, we have 19 people charged in a racketeering offence which is a very serious charge. they usually brought against criminal organisations like the mafia or drug organisations. these are very serious charges, they carry a lot of jail

cases. the —— over classified documents. this deals with three specific charges and it only target donald trump. it is built for speed, to go quickly, to try to get this wrapped up before the 2024 campaign is over. whereas this georgian case with so many people charged looks to tell the whole story of how trump and his allies attempted to obtain the election and how those efforts went from legal efforts, as they started with with a 60 court cases and then morphed into a legal efforts in the view of the prosecutor and actually became racketeering conspiracy and a criminal enterprise and that is going to be the case that prosecutors have to make to the jury, that this was notjust a good—faith effort to fight the election result, that this actually into a crime when files electors,

shocking, goes against all conventional wisdom about american politics and the american political system. let's take a step back. we mentioned earlier and luke talked about this as well, the president, if you would have just said, do not believe that i lost georgia, i do not believe i lost pennsylvania, but here is the reason why and then work with his allies in congress, just like hillary clinton and her team lead with folks like jamie raskin in challenging the electoral result in 2017 butjoe biden shut them down. mike pence would have been able to go through the process, they could have had a vote, like the congress did before i did, and it was 2005 when george w bush, in his electoral vote in ohio challenged on the floor of the us house and you had many democrats who were recently shares of committees that voted not to accept the electoral result of george w bush's 0hio went. what the challenges were that many of my colleagues perform it and i voted against, thatis perform it and i voted against, that is their right to do but in the end, we have a judicious system called voting that takes care of that and it was taking care of that and it was taking care of, that night, when the challenge is were brought up but what president trump did he helped energise a crowd that ended up breaking into the capitol and i agree with, luke, without that he would not have been judgement in without that he would not have beenjudgement in indian been judgement in indian history beenjudgement in indian history showed it happened and now he and the people around him who contacted this harebrained scheme, they are being accountable in fulton county georgia and that is why you are showing that mugshots now. ., , , , , now. the former president seems to continue _ now.

see in national polls and even in its state—by—state polls that donald trump is competitive, but donald trump gets an abyss rule response from some of the most highly populated formally republican areas that we have in america and that is superb in america and that is superb in america. rural america in america and that is superb in america. ruralamerica is completely flipped. the old blue dog democrat labour friendly areas that i grew up in a now solid trump republican countries and i do —— do not have enough populations to winning the votes like when it comes to wisconsin, georgia,

majority in the us senate. and donald trump complaining about the georgia election fraud cost republicans another chance at winning that senate seat. hopefully that is going to change because

will now face a very busy legal calendar in the months ahead. let's take a look at the timeline of the trials that are set and the proposed dates. the first is the federal investigation into donald trump's alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. this was brought by special counseljack smith and would be tried here in washington, dc. the proposed trial date is january 2nd. trump's legal team has proposed a 2026 start date, the georgia election case that we are looking at today brought by fani willis has a previous proposed trial start date of march 4th. ms willis may seek to speed up that time frame. the investigation into mishandling of classified documents, also brought by jack smith is currently being tried in florida. that's where trump resides. the judge overseeing that case set a may 20th start date. then there is the first indictment that came down. charges of falsifying business records. a shortwhile ago i spoke to pollster and strategist frank luntz about trump's indictment. frank, it is always good to see you. first of all i want to get your take on this investigation as we are waiting for the former president to arrive in atlanta. , , , atlanta. this is significant because it _ atlanta. this is significant because it is _ atlanta. this is significant because it is on _ atlanta. this is significant because it is on a - atlanta. this is significant i because it is on a statewide basis rather than federal and it is significant business because there are so many people involved in this. you have already had the mug shots of others including rudy giuliani who i once worked for and itjust adds another level of challenge for the president, ex—president, at a time when he would rather be focusing on the next election. he is instead focused on the last election. frank, you speak to republican voters. how have they reacted to these charges to this indictment? i to these charges to this indictment?— to these charges to this indictment? . ., ., , ., indictment? i am glad that you said partisan — indictment? i am glad that you said partisan because - indictment? i am glad that you said partisan because there - indictment? i am glad that you said partisan because there is. said partisan because there is a completely different reaction. if you are an independent, if you are a democrat, you believe this is one more example of illegal behaviour. if you are a republican, three out of four republicans reject the accusations that are being addressed this evening, and they reject the idea that donald trump is a criminal, and i will give you one piece of polling data that has truly shocked me. 71% of republicans trust donald trump more than their own family to give them accurate and truthful information — more than the clergy, more than community leaders. donald trump has a level of trust despite these indictments that is frankly unheard of in american politics. at least among his own party. i politics. at least among his own party-— politics. at least among his own party. i want to ask you about some _ own party. i want to ask you about some of _ own party. i want to ask you about some of the - own party. i want to ask you about some of the other- about some of the other frontrunners for the republican nomination for the presidency because there was a debate as you know in milwaukee last night where the other candidates were on stage. the former president came up. it took a while but he did come up on the debate stage and i want to play a clip of what we heard from the former vice president mike pence when he was asked about his role onjanuary 6 and what happened. the about his role on january 6 and what happened.— what happened. the american eo - le what happened. the american people deserve _ what happened. the american people deserve to _ what happened. the american people deserve to know- what happened. the american people deserve to know that l what happened. the american l people deserve to

over the constitution and i chose the constitution.— constitution and i chose the constitution. frank, we have started to — constitution. frank, we have started to see _ constitution. frank, we have started to see the _ constitution. frank, we have started to see the former . constitution. frank, we havel started to see the former vice president distance himself, at least on this question, from donald trump. what did you make of what you heard him say? i watch the debate happened. i was right in the centre of the audience and it is remarkable to me that every time an accusation was levied against the former president, every single time there were boos from across the arena that among active republicans, those people who would attend a debate like this, donald trump still has considerable support but i really have to emphasise that it but i really have to emphasise thatitis but i really have to emphasise that it is as though it is too different americas. among republicans donald trump can do no wrong. he is trusted. they think he is a victim. they think he is a victim. they think he is being prosecuted and persecuted. among independence and democrats, he can do no right. they assume that he is engaged in political activity and among democrats they want him to go to jail. just as you are speaking we are looking at pictures of atlanta hartsfield international airport where we are waiting for the president to arrive shortly. is this why does you have just described is dynamic of two americas. is this why we did not see too many candidates take a bigger swing at the former president?- take a bigger swing at the former president? yes, because he has a tremendous _ former president? yes, because he has a tremendous lead. - former president? yes, because he has a tremendous lead. to i he has a tremendous lead. to put this in historic terms, if donald trump would lose the nomination front runner in modern times would have ever dropped as far as donald trump would have dropped that the odds of him at winning the nomination are very strong but the odds of him actually winning the presidency, it is still possible, but it is — it will be an uphill battle. d0 will be an uphill battle. do ou will be an uphill battle. do you think _ will be an uphill battle. do you think any of the candidates actually had a breakthrough? good question. yes, nikki haley. quite frankly, when she challenged the former vice president mike pence, she challenged the outside candidate, her performance was — and she even mentioned margaret thatcher which is appropriate to your audiences — because she said that if you want to make a statement, ask a man. if you want to get things done, ask a woman. and she cited margaret thatcher saying it. she received more applause, more engagement and she had more engagement and she had more positive lines than any of the other candidates. i think she would be regarded as the winner of last night's debate. that said, the real winner is probably donald trump because no other candidate really laid a glove on him and the closer that you get to the first primary vote in january and if primary vote injanuary and if drug continues primary vote in january and if drug continues with this lead i think it could be insurmountable. —— trump continues with the sleep. insurmountable. -- trump continues with the sleep.

afraid and this happened with ron desantis when he criticised trump supporters. the objective is to criticise the former president without turning off the tens of millions of people who still support him. it is a very tough thing to do, particularly in a debate, but it is going to be necessary and i believe the next debate at the reagan library in september will be more crucial because in the end if you don't take trump down, there is no way you can win the nomination.— win the nomination. that was ollster win the nomination. that was pollster and _ win the nomination. that was pollster and

website with a live page on the coverage of the former presidents indictment and surrender in at later today. bbc has all the latest from there. thank you for watching. hello there. on thursday, we had a few showers and thunderstorms towards the south coast of england, and it felt particularly humid across east anglia and south—east england — temperatures into the mid—to—high 20s. but it will feel a lot fresher here for friday — temperatures dropping down into the low 20s, but overall, i suspect arguably a more pleasant feel to the weather, given those lower levels of humidity. a fine end to the day across southwest scotland, but it's in scotland and northern ireland that we find ourselves close to a centre of low pressure. and so, over the next few hours, we'll see some showers at least working into scotland and northern ireland, maybe some longer spells of rain across the far north of scotland. temperatures starting off the day friday about 9—11 for most, but still a little on the warm side across eastern—most areas of england. for friday, the low pressure then is firmly in charge of our weather. the centre of the low drifts over into the north sea, but it is a day where we'll see sunshine and showers, but longer spells of rain certainly at times, i think, affecting northern scotland. most of england and wales starting the morning on a dry and bright note with some early sunshine. however, i think we will see some showers break out as we head into the afternoon — always most frequent for wales, western areas of england, northern ireland and scotland, and parts of eastern england may well escape with a dry day. temperatures, high teens to low 20s. now we'll kind of continue that run of weather as we head into the weekend. the same area of low pressure still
