The depleted uranium ammunition - which Britain is providing to .yiv with &hallenger battle tanks - can cause serious radiation damage if it enters the body and is linked to increased instances of cancer and other illnesses in war]ones.

Ammunition

5ussian foreign ministry spokeswoma­n 0aria =akharova hit back at the U. declaring: “The use of ammunition with depleted uranium is a manifestat­ion of genocide of the population against which it is used and the people who use them.”

They would cause radioactiv­e damage to ‘everyone’ living in the place where the depleted uranium tank shells are released, =akharova said.

The e[-president himself claimed he would be arrested on Tuesday over hush money paid to a pornograph­ic actress, but the day came and went and there were no signs of an indictment or arrest.

Some US media speculated that the grand Mury hearing the case could vote to indict yesterday, but that it may be ne[t week before 0anhattan District $ttorney $lvin Bragg announces any charges and Trump is arraigned before a Mudge.

Tampering

Bragg, an elected Democrat, has not confirmed any plans publicly and grand Muries operate in secret to prevent perMury or witness tampering before trials, making it virtually impossible to follow their proceeding­s.

The D$ has put key witnesses in front of the panel in recent weeks and offered Trump the opportunit­y to testify, hinting that an indictment is close.

The -year-old 5epublican would become the first former or sitting president to be charged with a crime if an indictment is filed -- a move that would send shock waves through the :hite +ouse race, in which Trump is running to regain office.
