Our North America correspondent nada tawfik has been outside the court. Well, the defence continues their attack against Michael Cohen. Of course because he is the star witness, the one on which the outcome of this trial really hinges because he is the only one who directly ties donald trump to the Business Falsification Alleged scheme. Its what we saw from defence attorneys is trying to really turn the jury against him, Playing Out Podcast Episodes of Michael Cohen saying things against donald trump such as revenge is a dish best served cold and that he hopes he rots in prison. They then went to all the times that Michael Cohen has admitted he lied, and they did that to try to undercut this portrait of him as somebody who is a reformed man interested injustice. Instead, they want to try to paint him as someone who does whatever is necessary to save himself and act out of his own self interest. And so they had cohen admit that he had lied about when he pleaded guilty for crimes, even lying to a judge in order to get a plea deal, and that he also was untruthful to congress when he said he didnt want a plea deal from President Donald Trump at the time. He said in fact his attorney had inquired about a plea deal with Donald Trumps lawyers, so numerous attempts here to undermine his credibility, to paint him out as a liar who cant be trusted. And weve just now gotten to the portion that reallyjust deals with the issues at hand. Donald trumps lawyer before the court break tried to insinuate that a call that Michael Cohen says he made to Donald Trumps bodyguard in order to discuss the Hush Money Payment with donald trump wasnt about the Hush Money Payment at all. In fact, he was speaking to Donald Trumps bodyguard about a personal issue, so things are getting quite heated now in court. To sudan.

The number of people has gone down in the last few days where there is a steady flow of boats, jet skis and other rainfalls arriving. The victims of this tragedy are taken to improvised shelters, many of them set up by engineers. The water level in recent days has dropped a bit, but as we can see, its raining again and the latest forecast says we are expecting even more rain in the coming days. This puts additional strain on officials and the communities who have been dealing with this crisis for more than two weeks. The people i spoke to yesterday told me that they fear that if it gets any worse, it could lead to other areas because the soil is completely waterlogged. For some towns and city, it means they would become completely cut off. Improvised shelters, people have been expressing anger and frustration as the situation continues. They complain that its not clear to them when they will be able to resume their lives or even if they are going to be allowed to go back to their homes. Earlier, i spoke to tatiana rocha, who works at unisinos, a university in the city of sao leopoldo, which has become one of the biggest shelters in the region since the flooding. We have here around 1,200 people. They are living here. Since two weeks now, and if you can hear in here, the sounds. We have a lot. Of children here. And, yeah, today its raining again and they are afraid. You said theyd been there for two weeks some of them already. Do you know when theyll be able go home . No, they cannot go home because the floodwater. Is still coming up in the river. And it started to rain in the cities near here, so the water is coming down for the locals, i near the university. So here is a safe place to be now. Thanks to tatya na thanks to tatyana for that. Canada. Shifting winds are expected to push a major wildfire away from the countrys major Oil Producing region.
