Wealth, sometimes by billions of dollars, to get cheaper loans and insurance. He cancelled some of the licences which allow mr trumps businesses to operate in new york. Mr trump issued a Statement Denouncing Thejudge as deranged and the states Attorney General as corrupt. 0ur North America correspondent peter bowes reports another legal blow for the former president. In a civil lawsuit, he and his two sons, along with the trump organisation, have been accused of staggering levels of fraud. 0ne claim is that mr trump inflated the value of his properties hotels, golf clubs and Apartment Buildings and exaggerated the size of his luxury flat in trump tower. The case is due to go to trial next week, but the judge has already ruled on part of it, and determined that the former president repeatedly lied about his financial affairs. In a post on his Social Media Platform Truth social, donald trump called the judge deranged and said the claim he committed fraud was both ridiculous and untrue. It was, he said, another attempt by his opponents to try to prevent him from winning the next president ial election. The new york ruling means some of the trump organisations licences to operate will be cancelled. The civil case is in addition to the four major Criminal Trials donald trump is facing. While some Opinion Polls now show him edging in front ofjoe biden in the race to regain the white house. Im joined by formerfederal prosecutor neama rahmani. Is good to have you on the programme. What do you make of thisjudgment . Peter called it a legal blow but its getting close to a knockout punch. This is terrible for the former president for two reasons. First, thejudge ruled that it is clear he and his businesses had false Financial Statements and business records, but its the same judge who will be the fact finder in the case. There is nojury, so thisjudge fact finder in the case. There is no jury, so this judge will be ruling on the other charges such as Insurance Fraud and conspiracy, and deciding how much damage as trump and his organisation have to pay. The trial next organisation have to pay. The trial next monday, organisation have to pay. The trial next monday, this is a massive blow for him, it doesnt bode well at all. Hot doesnt bode well at all. Not at all. Doesnt bode well at all. Not at all the doesnt bode well at all. Not at all. The new doesnt bode well at all. Not at all. The new york doesnt bode well at all. Iirrt at all. The new York Attorney general Letitia James is asking for hundreds of millions of dollars. Setting that aside, part of the judges ruling has revoked the Business Licence for the trump organisation, which means they can no longer operate in new york. The court has appointed a receiver, an independent monitor, who has to manage those businesses and may even have to wind them down. What are the other consequences of this . Its a civil trial, he wont be put behind bars, but what could the court decide in terms of what trump and his organisation has to do . You are riaht, organisation has to do . You are right. Its organisation has to do . You are right. Its a organisation has to do . You are right, its a Civil Organisation has to do . You are right, its a civil case organisation has to do . You are right, its a civil case just right, its a civil casejust about money, he wont be going to jail, he might not even show up to jail, he might not even show up to trial. We saw that in the previous Defamation Case in new york. But it still a very bad look, it will cost him potentially hundreds of millions of dollars and he may have to shut down his Business Empire in new york city. Its very bad for him even though there wont be anyjail time. Financially its bad, but if you look at the polls, he is doing extremely well. Certainly the front runner for the republican the front runnerfor the republican nominee. The front runner for the republican nominee. Trump certainly is republican nominee. Trump certainly is an republican nominee. Trump certainly is an enigma, certainly is an enigma, notwithstanding his legal problems, he seems to get a bounce in the polls every time he is charged with a new crime or faces a new lawsuit. He is charged with a new crime orfaces a new lawsuit. When it comes to the political side of things, trump is certainly doing very well. The question is, will all the legal troubles add up and be too overwhelming. Four indictments all while having to campaign for president. It wont be easy. He does like a challenge. Thank you so much.

One of the things, there was an increase in salary, a considerable one. The big surprises are residuals, which is the amount you are paid when programmes are very successful and repeated. We never thought that could happen, that was a long shot. But the streaming produces, who dont like information about their viewership out, have agreed to pass on enough confidential information, i stress confidential, so they can tell when a programmes enormously successful. And the people involved in making that show should be compensated for that. Another thing no one expected was them settling on how many people can work on a show. From the beginning, producers said thats not up to us, but now they have come to the table and they have come to the table and they have come to the table and they have agreed on that. So thats a very important. Ai, which everyone was scared of, and i think they are controlling that too. From the Point Of View of the union, you can see why they feel it has been a real win win.
