of the group, but defending champions england have home advantage at st james's park. hello there. the us election campaign has moved into uncharted territory, after donald trump's criminal conviction. the former president, in a long and at times rambling speech, angrily attacked his opponents, claiming his trial was rigged. the biden campaign says the speech was confused and desperate. it follows mr trump's unprecedented guilty verdicts on all 3a counts over falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to a porn star. he'll be sentenced injuly and could face jail, though legal experts believe a fine is more likely. he made it clear he'll appeal. so, what impact could all this have on the presidential election in november? gary o'donoghue has more from new york. the breaking news, donald trump, guilty. 3 the breaking news, donald trump, uuil . �* . , ., , guilty. a watershed moment in this nation's history. _ guilty. a watershed moment in this nation's history. the _ guilty. a watershed moment in this nation's history. the first _ guilty. a watershed moment in this nation's history. the first former i nation's history. the first former resident nation's history. the first former president of _ nation's history. the first former president of the _ nation's history. the first former president of the united -
