Talk us through these charges, 41 criminal counts and a list of people involved this is a Pretty Sprawling Criminal Case and involves a lot of his top aides like Rudy Giuliani and mark meadows, who is the former Chief Of Staff in the white house. Rudy giuliani was the us attorney in new york a couple of decades ago, so he would prosecute mobsters, so what is key to know about the case is that evenif key to know about the case is that even if donald trump is elected president , he cannot pardon himself because this is a state charge so theoretically he could get convicted and get an appeal and as long as the conviction holds he would have to vacate his office in a few months or a year into his new president ial term since you do not have the power as a federal president to pardon state charges.

This is one of the stronger ones, but whats interesting is they will have to find a jury that is impartial as georgia has a lot of republicans and is a pretty red state still and the Jury Selection will be a pretty rigorous process to make sure that everyone can leave their political leanings aside and look at the facts and a lot of this stuff is not disputed in terms of him making a phone call and there is a record of that. You can debate whether it is criminal not and he is not directing on the specifics of the case, he still thinks he won the election and he did nothing wrong you talk about the weight of the case and we have this phone call, this infamous phone call.

You dont need a witness for that phone call and you have to evaluate whether it is a crime to find these votes or is it hyperbole. I am sure donald trump was riffing on that call and was not told by his advisers to make that specific phone call and rip ask for the votes. He was freelancing as if to say, who is a businessman in new york and who can fix this and he did not expect him to be recording this and to be someone who is not a donald trump lackey, although he is a republican.

Its interesting news and the Bank Of England will certainly be taking note but if you are sat at home in the uk looking at your paycheque and thinking, well thats not going to get me very far, todays figures dont thats not going to get me very far, todays figures dont change the situation and essentially you have to go back to october to 2021 for the last time average pay outstripped inflation with price rises, so today you said it it was back to nearly an 8 rise and thats a record, this 7. 8 increase and essentially the highest since records began but when you take into account Inflation Pay fell behind 0. 6 . Howeverthe account Inflation Pay fell behind 0. 6 . However the fall is a lot less than insert in recent months and essentially the Direction Of Travel does appear to be that our pay is recovering in the hope is that our Spending Power will start increasing and start outstripping inflation again relatively soon, but not quite yet.

The causes are still unclear and the russian authorities have said they have started an investigation but the information coming through the media is scarce and limited and i was also need to remind you that since the start of the russian invasion into ukraine, the Regulating Media has changed and there are a lot of restrictions on a lot of independent media has left the country so theres not that much opportunity to get anything on top of the official statements attributed us through the state controlled media.

Iitei death toll has been rising throughout the night and it started from relatively small figures but the latest figures see 35 people confirmed dead and the latest figure is 150 and people are being wounded and as you rightly said, some of them are treated locally but the patients with the most complicated injuries are transferred to moscow and dagestan in Southern Russia, in the caucasus, in the region itself, and in many reports its the caucasus, in the region itself, and in many reports its called a depressive region and it is unfavourable for people to leave their region who are struggling economically and technologically which is why a certain amount of casualties are being transported and thatis casualties are being transported and that is traditional and these are additional complications and challenges for those wounded and at the moment we do not know what the real call is causes. But it might be for their Safety Techniques and in previous years russia has seen certain emergencies connected with the huge flyer in the nightclub were the huge flyer in the nightclub were the majority could not escape a huge fight in the trade centre and a lot of casualties including kids, so we dont know what caused this one but there is a dark record and it led to a significant number of casualties in the previous instances.
