6:05 am
being resolved and that those discussions should be taking place in the wider cabinet since they are members of the coalition. now you have had pressure on these really prime minister over the last week or so from members of the right wing part of the government we're talking about each more been we're the country's national security minister and betts and it's small rich the countries finance minister who essentially, for the last 10 days have been threatening to leave the government. if nothing yahoo enters a deal, but they say is not in favor of israel. and that would mean the release of thousands of house to need detainees from is really jail. so you have that pressure, but then you also have pressure from the opposition benny gans who joined nathaniel whose emergency government, he and his party are not part of the wider coalition. he's saying, but if nothing young who continues to cave to the right and to come to pressure, he's going to leave the emergency government. then you have another member of the

6:07 am
while these negotiations and mediators and everyone is involved in these conversations, it seems like we are still a whiles away from a deal. and that's how, who reporting from occupied east jerusalem. thank you very much. and the us says it will strike more iran linked targets. this in retaliation for the killing of 3 american troops in jordan last week. that's according to us national security advisor jake sullivan. the biden administration says it does not want the bombing campaign to set off a regional war, but it won't let attacks on us forces and commercial ships go unanswered. awesome jordan reports american b, one bombers flying from texas to the middle east on thursday. part of the bite and ministrations plan to retaliate for and a run back to groups. drones strike that killed 3 us soldiers in jordan. i don't think the uh, the adversaries are, have a one and done mindset. and so they have a lot of capabilities. i have
6:08 am
a lot more to abide, how says the b want and other war, plains bombs, at least 85 targets in iraq and syria targets controlled by the islamic revolutionary guard corps codes force and its affiliates on sunday. a mandatory notice from president joe biden to congress about the event of the strikes has been taken to deter the i, r g. c and affiliated militia groups from conducting or supporting further attacks on united states personnel and facilities, and have been conducted in a manner designed to limit the risk of escalation and to avoid civilian casualties . the us also watched air strikes on who's the targets in yemen on saturday. and on sunday, this in response to weeks of who the attacks on commercial shipping and u. s. navy warships in the red sea, congressional republicans accused biting of cowardice,
6:09 am
by targeting around proxies and not the country itself. we should not be appeasing or wrong. that's what the binding ministration has been doing for the last 3 years . we're projecting weakness on the world stage by kitchen buttons. national security adviser says that's not true. i would just say from the perspective of t, ron, if they chose to respond directly to the united states, they would be met with a swift and forceful response from us. meanwhile, a new round of diplomacy, secretary of state anthony blinking is heading to israel. the occupied west bank gutter egypt and saudi arabia for more talks on ending the war and garza and cooling regional tensions rosalyn jordan l just 0. it is really miss sila has landed near hundreds of mourners at a funeral in southern lebanon. this happened that a cemetery near the town of lita, 2 fighters from the amal group which allied the hezbollah were killed and it is
6:10 am
really strike on friday. israel has threatened all at ward hezbollah doesn't pull back from the border. across the board, a fighting has escalated their following. israel's war on gaza. a bipartisan group of us senators has published the text them along a waiting proposal for a bill that includes military aid to both israel and ukraine. republicans have been assisting on allocating funding for us border security in return for proving more than that. 382 ukraine. theres been months of negotiation to get the bill written, but it still needs to be approved in several votes before landing on presidential biden's desk. and fisher is in washington dc. he's been following this for us. so president biden has just been speaking about this proposed bill, what you've been saying of the bills and trouble it already is in trouble just hours after his best. there's been several months of negotiation. the senators finally produced a $370.00 page bill. it covers $118000000000.00. so spending know some of that is
6:11 am
for the border to make border security type to, to make immigration checks much strict to, to make applying for asylum both easier and more difficult as well. but there's also the help for ukraine and israel to $62000000000.00 there for ukraine. $14000000000.00 for israel, a lot of that to replenish weapons that have been used in the war and guys. but there are difficulties they are already, you know, joe biden has said that this makes the board the more secure than it has been investigates. and he says it's time for republicans to start playing politics with the border and get this to him so he can sign the bill as quickly as possible. but a number of republican senators have already said that, against the bill. part of the difficulty is they said that before they even sold the details, a couple of them even said the quite pop to load that the when going to vote for this because it could give to buy a bipartisan victory in an election year,
6:12 am
particularly as donald trump has said that he's going to run on the idea of border security, but joe biden says, this is no time for the republicans to stop paying politics with the border on past this belt. but here's another difficulty for joe biden. steve scully's, who's the majority leader in the house of representatives, he's a republican, he's the man decides essentially when the highest votes on things. and he's already said that he's not going to bring this to the floor of the house. mike johnson is the speaker has already said that if the bill ever did make it to the floor of the house, it's dead on arrival, the do bite. besides the still a lot of what to be done to get this over the line. it seems that a lot more than he expected and this bill is struggling just hours after his belt and official reporting from washington dc on this. thank you very much. have a, it actually has declared 2 days of national mourning for the victims of wildfire is more than a 100 people have been killed as fire as rage in central parts of the country with

6:14 am
presumed dead. 55 years continue working day and night to control the flyers and the densely populated bottle. but a slow region. 14, a big chief with sweets, jaime has been fighting fires for 40 years, says is convinced they were started deliberately or what, what you're focusing on. it so they started simultaneously at exactly the same hour in 6 different places. when the winds were extremely strong, humidity, very low, and the temperature is high, but not enough to ignite a fire on its own. this was no accidental. the government appeals to agree and vows defined and punish the culprits which might have taken minutes to light could take weeks to extinguish this way, to look like a very small fly right now. but this is a pine tree or what's left of it. and the real significant thing is what's underneath, and that is the roots of the tree. they're very deep, they go all the way down here all the way up there. so when you seem to put out the
6:15 am
fire, it can ignite it at any moment unless the firefighters keep coming back and back again to try to extinguish it. mister month, see, i lost everything, his car, his home, and just livelihood in, nor mrs. green house for growing and selling exotic plant. luckily he was away with it all went up in smoke. unlike his dog napoleon, who survived, but just barely. okay. yeah, yep. i felt that obviously there had been 5 before up in the hills, but this time homes were lost and i've been living here 30 years. neighboring countries are offering help, which to me will lead. as reports emerge of new wild fires for this helps to see a newman algebra in the park, but i used to region to the still ahead on elsa 0. there's been a running battle between protesters that i've been throwing rocks and the police

6:17 am
towards the north west of mexico. more than the weight of heavy rain moving in here . now one is looking pretty wild on the west coast. things have eased and will do so on the east coast. once that storm pulls away from florida, we'll still see some gusty winds around those south eastern states, but it is looking launch the dry in cities like new york as well as washington dc. i'm very dry across the south listing more in the way sunshine coming in for places like texas. and we will see more in way of sunshine from much of mexico. so i'm just coming down. however, with the change in the wind that we all going to see some very heavy rain pushing its way across the bahamas, across the caribbean as well with some heavy rain to come for the likes of his pen jala. as we go into tuesday. in other settled, tax upfront takes on the big issue. that is a context to what is happening now. it is
6:18 am

6:20 am
assignment a booster? sure. uh you said i'm not john. well, i'm not a 2nd. i'm getting in. send me to that, how you who are kind of knew what the study was. i'm not on what level the west side is an apology, definitely especially the stress. 7 so you wouldn't list so that he can at the should be good then just then just the of the gun that was need said by what the one that queued a brown look up to that comes to our to be in your up for them to come to actually do it on was because it is in the packing. okay. can you just says pin number lead time. so i mean i oh my goodness,
6:21 am
i'm also being there. they got a lot of, you know, what's the best of the best they had the secure loving person in the 11 yards and those are being counted in el salvador as presidential election. official results are still not out, but now you book kelly has already declared himself the winner in a post on the social media site x. his popularity is largely a tribute that is cracked down on criminal gangs within 70000 suspected gang members have been arrested since he declared a state of emergency 2 years ago. or now from manuel rap i was in san salvador. the polls have closed here in the el salvador, though there seems to be little doubt that it's going to be anything short of a landslide victory for salvador and president. now you book it in the hours just
6:22 am
before the closing of the polls, the president held the press conference where he touted some of his achievements, not least, of which was a mass of reduction to crime. and getting rid of the countries, things which in itself, undeniably has led to a transformation from one of the most dangerous places in the world to arguably the safest country in the western hemisphere. those were the words of a president kelley. he also had a message to critics who have referred to him as an autocrat. those that have referred to him as a dictator. he said, no one has the moral authority to say with the salvador and people want more than this up more than the salvadoran people themselves. and it has been an undeniable transformation fear. you can see it in the, in the streets. it's what's led to so much popularity for president kelley, when human rights observers around the world say however, is at what cost a loss of civil liberties and consolidation of power. the stacking of the supreme
6:23 am
court, which has led the president himself to seek re election despite a constitutional ban against re election. but again, these are all details that the people will solve it, or at least most of them don't seem to bother by mid it up a little alpha 0, san salvador. now to the border between mexico and the united states, where republicans are heading out to what they say are present. and joe biden is reckless open border policies. the republican governor of texas greg habits and 14 other state governors from his party or an eagle pass. the city is at the center of the political feud between republicans and democrats, over how many migrants are crossing the border. recently, abbot went against convention that apply his own state police along the border. i do show castro has more from eagle pass on the us mexico border. a texas governor greg abbott was flanked by 14 fellow republican governors in this attempted show a force that came in defense of a move that really can be overstated in both it's controversy and its significance
6:24 am
. and that move is abbott's open defiance of a u. s. supreme court order, this order which came about a month ago, tells the state of texas that it must allow us border patrol to access the border in this part of equal pass, texas. and to carry out the federal government's will, including cutting through razor wire, which was put here by the state. but that has not happened. we can still see the state troops who are blocking access and guarding this gate in the border fence. and abbot says he is doing this again and open defiance of the supreme court ruling because he claims that there is a loophole in the us constitution saying he can seize essentially these military powers. when a quote invasion is upon his state. and that is the term it uses to describe the migrants who have been coming across the border. we are here to send a loud and clear message that we are banding together to fight,
6:25 am
to ensure that we will be able to maintain our constitutional guarantee that states will be able to defend against any type of imminent danger or an invasion that has been threatened by joe biden, and his abject refusal to enforce the immigration laws of the united states of america. we'd have to reach back all the way to the 19 fifties and us history for a comparable episode to this. and that was an ugly chapter when the governor of arkansas refused to comply with the supreme court order to desegregate schools in his state. that ultimately ended with the federal government sending the military to that state of arkansas to carry out the disaggregation. and people are fearing that this situation now in texas could develop in a similar manner, hitting the state forces against the federal forces which could be have. it could
6:26 am
be very dangerous, of course for the migrants caught in the middle of that all and dangerous for this country. how did you castro out a 0 equal pass, texas? opposition candidates incentive goals say that they will appeal president mackie, selves decreed to postpone this month's presidential election. demonstrators have been holding protests against the decision with police responding by firing, tear gas and even detaining an opposition presidential candidate. nicholas hack reports from the car are the signals that can stop us as presidential hopeful and go. we're exercising our basic rights. we have an appointment with this ending, at least people, security forces prevent her from meeting party supporters. then she's arrested accused of taking part in an illegal gathering mast officers seen forcing her into a police van hours before the start of campaigning on saturday. president lucky saw
6:27 am
canceled this month's presidential election. he says he's protecting democracy and isn't trying to extend his own term. but his decision is feeling widespread anger in the district of the car named liberty protestors showing their defiance. the cancellation of the vote is seen as an injustice protest. years say once again, the powerful or robbing them of the chance to make their own future. so we are in a country where people are mistreated, it's really tough for us, the world needs on desantis. this is a cry from the hearts. i'm a struggling entrepreneur. i have a master's degree. i'm live, so like coffee on the street. yeah, no work. jobs are given to. those are political connections. we won't work. so we want to work for our country. our time has come now. they are protesting with the opposition is calling a constitutional coo and block and avenue leading to the presidential palace. there are urging others to join their revolts. the,
6:28 am
there's been running battle between protesters that have been throwing rocks and the police have been responding by firing here. guess they want to prevent this. yeah, they're going to take place. but supporters of the opposition are determined to down there and to get their voice is heard. the west african regional organizations echo was the us and friends of all expressed concern and urge to be announced a bit of an election day. do you feel that zip code from any point and this is not what we these of because the people themselves know we just conflict? no ethnic conflict, but you have localize citation isn't, does next. and bass, fight them, destroy thing, guys. what's out? public was been regarded as the most stable democracy in west africa no longer seems so stable. nicholas hawk elgin 0 maybe a has
