finish. rouse compartment of guys. i see slide talks in cairo and we filed to an agreement to national aid group say the occupied west spine is the most dangerous space in the world to be at. the thank you for joining us from coast to coast. voting has begun in the most important day in the us presidential primaries known as super tuesday 15 states and one territory of casting the ballots is today that can often decide the candidates for the republican and democratic parties. but this year, joe biden and donald trump faced little challenge to the nominations as go straight to our white house correspondent, kimberly healthcare attend whitehouse, washington. his way of present biden is this of a tuesday. kimberly the democratic nomination appears to be if will go on

conclusion job i'm on challenge, but he's facing trump with some really low approval ratings. yeah, there's no question about that. his approval ratings are at challenges, approval, reading fact dropped last month to drop to 37 percent, which is a challenge for joe biden. and in fact, that is below the 20 would 21 numbers. it's really been below. 50 percent of 4 are hovering around there. and in a poll conducted last month, we also know, but 67 percent of respondents said that positive bite and was simply too old to serve another term. so that's really concerning for the white house. and in fact, just 34 percent said that he was mentally fit to serve at all. so what's the white house has been doing in recent days and recent weeks is really focusing on the president's achievement and trying to highlight why he deserves

a know the term as us president joe biden has always been known in washington as a man who speaks his mind don't listen to rumsfeld, he doesn't know what in the hell he's talking about. but since his election in 2025 and his mind has shown signs of slowing down. as you know, initially present mexico, c. c. did not want to open up the gate to be met, the president of egypt, not mexico, but mixing up world leaders names. occasionally. i'm able to recall basic facts and even his walk all signal that it 815 in is every bit showing his age as the oldest president in us history. in fact, it's a concern for many american voters. definitely not something i really like the political powers from the ninety's i've stayed in for too long. finding has plenty

of good news to run on the economy's improve steadily under his watch growing 3 percent in just the past year. his popular trillion dollar infrastructure bills creating jobs and revitalizing the nation's roads, airports, and bridget's still biden's. declining cognitive ability is overshadowing his accomplishments. the white house is countering this with a social media campaign, including take talk videos to attract younger voters and down play perceptions about his age. you're kidding. of all by his team says there is no need to defend the president's mental acuity. the president doesn't need a cognitive test. he passes the cognitive tests every day, every day as he moves from one topic to another topic. it's not like 5 and will likely be facing a young opponent come november. wow. all signs indicate another match up with former us president donald trump. but at age 77,

trump also struggles publicly at times to remember basic information. so as he mentioned folly, it's really unlikely that the president is facing any competition. it's a foregone conclusion. he will be the nominee, but what he is facing is this protest, votive, uncommitted voters. and so that's what we're watching for a super tuesday. we've already seen it in michigan. we're a $100000.00 voters, plus did not vote for bite. and typically if it was a particularly in the air of american population, we could see that again in a handful of states including colorado, where the supreme court put donald trump back on the ballot. so this could be a problem for joe by then we're going to see just how much that could affect him on super tuesday. the fact that we're now seeing, in fact, the president's israel policy and the fact that he's talking about it more than ever as well. as his vice president,

the fact that that really resonates with younger voters as well. we had fact saw the president talking about just the last couple of hours saying we need a psych ceasefire. we must get more a things we haven't seen him talking about just the last few weeks shows that this matters to the president and he is worried. yeah, those uncommitted votes. certainly a concern for the democrats. thank you very much for that. kimberly how get my 1st day at the white house or from washington. let's head to florida. that's where the republican front run of donald trump is at the moment. and alan fisher is in palm beach forest joyce's now lives. so here we are again, trump, the republican front run a block piece facing 90. 1 case is all in. is there anything that can stop it as well? those legal cases might just might cause him some real problems. certainly the people say and pause, they would be concerned if you was convicted of any of them. now remember that are 4 cases, one in florida, one in georgia,

one in new york and also one in washington dc. 91 case is no former president has ever been criminally charged before on the term plan has been to delay these for as long as possible because there is an unwritten rule that the department of justice will not take action about 60 days out from an election and so donald trump would like to delete this one as long as possible when the election, and then make all the federal cases against them, just simply disappear. i need be able to do that as president, but many people be so thought because of his legal problems. he was vulnerable. remember, there were a number of republicans who set out to try and when the presidential nomination, they believe that they could perhaps be donald trump. believe they could do it by praising donald trump. but donald trump decided that he was going to run. and that's why he's the front leader. not front runner. no. i'm part of the reason for that. is that the republican party is not donald trump. my go potty or

years ago, he entered politics as a self style disruptor. fighting against the democrats and the republican establishment. donald trump is the establishment, at least for conservatives, effectively seizing control of one of the oldest political parties in america. this was a hostile takeover. and so what you are seeing are people who are not necessarily republicans, but you are seeing people who are trapped, loyal is. and so they have taken over the republican party despite losing a presidential election in 2020, his control is not even stronger. he punishes this loyalty, the new republicans feature in the house of representatives r street was elected while one comp support. if one moment summed up crumbs complete control over this party, it was this. mitch mcconnell and good trump when he criticized them for the full in the january 6 the sold on capitol hill. what do you notice?

he was stepping down as the senate republican leader. he knew his party had changed . i have made a false mist understanding politics and is not one of another. the who parked the mechanism the on and see the republican national committee is expected to pass from someone who was loyal but no more well enough into the controlling hands of a huge trump supporter. i'm from his daughter in law adults in law, who said she would spend every penny to help donald trump in 2024. that was enough to anger. one republican donald trump is now turning the republican party into his own. trump still faces 90. 1 criminal charges across 4 separate court cases to supporters, doesn't matter. they believe he's being politically targeted is pulling numbers go up. he makes frequent stumbles and errors doesn't matter. his numbers go up. and there's a warning to do is to think if trump loses,

then the republican party goes back to what it was. over the next 234, possibly even 5 presidential election cycles. people attempting to try to emulate donald trump and his profit get ways. most republican, both to see the light comes policies. i'm well, many suggest the wish to talk to you to another stand to be, to the new for the moment. he's the only game in time. it's probably about a year ago now. we were talking about how run desantis was likely to be the republican type parties, presidential nominee. he came and went to him. scott came and went vivid rema. sammy he came and when all of them have disappeared now, only nikki haley stands between donald trump and the nomination. and it's unlikely that she is going to win any of the 15 contests on super tuesday. she said she had

enough support and enough money to stay in until today, but the clock is ticking and it looks as if donald trump, by weddings, they will be the republican party's presumptive presidential know many ready to do battle again against your bike. come november, allen, thank you very much for that. tallon fisher lived in west palm beach, florida. i got the issue of abortion accessing the united states as motivating voters and candidates. sabbatical haine is live in richmond, virginia. the only 7 states that hasn't restricted abortion after the supreme court overturn women's constitutional right to a procedure in 2022. so how do you, how big of an issue is this bill for americans almost a year after will be weighed ways over time? well, the reason we came to virginia is because they were able to flip the house of delegates just because of this issue and they were able to block the governor wanted a 15 ban fishing with ban on abortion that ended when they slipped it. and so

politicians across the country were like, this is going to be the winning issue, but i've been in north uh, richmond virginia for awhile now. and it's not, it's not one of the issues that people are talking about. it's pretty far down in the list when he get some understanding of that with alex keen that he's a political science professor for the very respected virginia commonwealth university. so abortion is like it's 8 or 9 percent people saying that's their top issue behind the economy, immigration inflation. is that still going to be the case of november? because trump once a 16 week, bad nationwide? i think it's hard to tell. i think generally what happens when there's primary elections, the issues change, and once you switch to the general election, then it simplifies the issues and it becomes the contrast between 2 candidates. definitely expect those, those numbers to change over time. as we approach the election. i want to ask you about finding the economy because you've done some really huge bills, right. and they've had an economic impact. but as you look through the streets of richmond, it doesn't look like it's

a kind of even close to back from the pandemic. is that why people are so down on by and when it comes to the economy? it's really hard to say. i think part of it is substantive and part of it is messaging. so i think people respond to their own worlds and they see what's around them. they look at their own pocket book when they're evaluating the economy, but i also think that i don't think the vitamin ministration has done a very good job of taking credit for the economic games. i think there's a big issue with messaging. i think a lot of people have trouble understanding what biden and his administration is saying and their positions are. so i'm describing this as the least super of the super tuesdays that i've ever covered because it's a forgotten conclusions for the most part. but if you talk to anyone, i mean photography bonita roberts, but nobody wants these 2 to be president. i mean, their core supporters to the vast majority of americans are like, no, can we? they think joe biden is too old and they think donald trump's to corrupt and, and authoritarian so

a new pulling virginia is that 50 percent of virginia be open to a 3rd party candidate. is it possible, or are we going to be another violent trump? it's going to be another bind, trump barring some unforeseen thing that happens, you know, maybe something to do with trumps core troubles. who knows? but this is a growing trend over the last several decades. more and more americans are dissatisfied with the 2 major parties. has everything to do with our institutions result in a 2 party system, the way that we hold elections and that doesn't help that money really determines who is going to be able to run before any votes are cast in any primary elections. so virginia is an open primary for years. the don't know, that means you can, you don't to be a democrat or republican, you just walk up and say, i think i'll vote in this primary. nikki haley and polls in the states would cream president joe, but yeah, she would like. it's like 9 percentage points don't trips going to quarter. the polls with blues virginia, a very key right to donald trump. so does hailey have

a shot in virginia? it's hard to say, i haven't seen a lot of pulling data and there's a lot of unpredictability with the open primary. but she certainly stands a much better chance of winning then trump and trump is never really done well in the state. when he won the primary back 2016, he won with like a 3rd of the vote. his home messages kind of goes against the way that people pick, those livelihoods here in virginia their, their jobs are very much tied to the government. and government contracting is i think he's kind of a turn off, the voters and the state in virginia is not unique. it's kind of a microcosm of the country. it's similar to a lot of other swing states where you have large suburban populations that would probably vote more for nikki haley and donald trump. students thank you so much for joining us here in al, does your english and explaining the intricacies of the political system here in the united states. and as i told us back, i really, i cannot tell you how many people i've talked to, and they all say the same thing. this is a country of 330000000 people. how her,

these are 2 choices, but find out today for sure. probably is going to be those 2 choices, but we'll know. busy a couple of hours in the polls close here in about 5 hours. careful the back is i'm not the way you described as a lease super of a super tuesdays. thank you. patty, for that patio. hey eliza and richmond. the down to the war on guys the and how minus us present. it is proposal for a ceasefire agreement to mediators in cairo, a senior official says they are now waiting for a response from israel, which did not send a delegation to the tox female. then it'll be the what the enemy has failed to achieve on the battle ground. it will never achieve on the negotiations. people how people's vision and aspirations will must be achieved. the results. a complete ceasefire of the withdrawal of israeli forces from all parts of garza and allow

immediate access to aid and released our people in the gaza strip. this is our most priority and any present itself would never be possible without the chief in this. we would like to stress the costs of negotiations come, must be opened without the limit us. but the us president joe biden says a ceasefire deal is in the hands of him off the cooperative rational. we don't know what we need to see as far as in the hands of rational offers and moscow of us secretary of state. and to me blinking has met with is ready will cabinet member benny guns to discuss the f as to reach

a 6 week c. fire in gaza. the to discuss the need to allow the delivery of humanitarian aid into the strip. again. so ready met with at the us, vice president coming to harris, she told in the us support. so ceasefire earlier blinking how talks with cutoffs prime minister and for him and associates. mom had been of the rough months in johnson l. funny. he called for a dramatic increase of humanitarian aid into the gaza strip and the release of captives. the situation for children, for women or men, were caught in the crossfire for mazda is making inside of the gaza, is unacceptable and unsustainable. israel has to maximize every possible means every possible method of getting assistance to people who need the united states will continue to strongly support those efforts along with many other countries around the world. but it requires more crossings, it requires more, a getting in. and once that aid is it, it requires making sure it can get to the people who need it. so we will continue

to press that every single day because of the situation as it stands. we simply unacceptable a spring in she has her times in washington dc. for more on this we heard the secretary of state said that the situation is unacceptable and unsustainable. did he convey that message to gans when they met? what came out of that meeting were gathering now while the station of, uh, 5 and one sauce to know about the meetings and the general sentences that then the guns was surprised by the dressing down that he golf and he was told to know on the stuff from tom's at that this rattle needs to do more. but it's interesting. the white house briefing is on john cubby. the national security council sports person was just speaking. and he was also wondering what these words like unacceptable and mean tomlin harris saying no excuses. you know, da, it has to go and so does that. it was on acceptable. so they will see us going to do if israel continues not to allow aid in, i'm kind of a just now made it very clear that they will be no conditionality on military. a

test drive lives that will be no easy. there's a 0 sum game, but you know, it's, you know, they still believe that israel needs as many weapons as possible and the us will continue to give that no matter what it does on the, i'm sorry, i'm acceptable, but acceptable. it would appear from what we're hearing from drum could be that there are no, there's no conditionality. it's but without the leaks are coming in from an autonomous administration. officials to that favorite people in the u. s. washington press corps and they say, oh, we really good with the gaps, but i'm not going to do anything. all right, yeah, thank you for that. she ever time she lives there in washington dc. and is there any soldiers have shot and killed 5 young men and boys mostly during raids on the occupied westbank over the past 4 days. international aid go see the policy indian territory is the most dangerous in the world to be a child. the same as all the reports from the village appearing in the occupied west back now dissolved from the higher. they are 2 in children, he says,

clutching the shoes of his 10 year old nephew, a, a blood soaked shroud covers auburn, a jars headboard and a father, unable to look at his son's lifeless body. also unable to pull himself away, his mother says um, or was no threat to his really soldiers who rated breeding. on monday, he was just sitting in a car with his father going to the shops when he was shot in the head and fell into his father's lap. mohammed, i'm insisted on going out with his father, even though we tried to stop him. when he was leaving, i put the hat on his head. he asked me why i told him i was worried about him getting cold. for other palestinians were killed in the occupied west bank this week. ages 132 were 161 was 18. all from high velocity ammunition fired from military rifles. it is typical of life under is really military occupation that has

been going on for decades by thought of good things that keep going to affect the future of the scene and be able to. so i just think just didn't denying them their rights killing them. slight. good kidding. the future of does it can for them. but if you think the future of the senior people international group say, israel's military has made palestine the most dangerous place in the world to be a child in the last 5 months, it is far more dangerous for more deadly to be a child in the occupied territories than it was for an american soldier, enough gone. it's done over a rock, funerals for palestinian children. little boys, young man. it's so common place and more and more dying from gunshot wounds to the head and chest child protection group say right now is really tactics are more brutal. they are targeting younger people and shooting to kill

as a murder jars family leaves him to west. they're asking the same question as so many palestinians families before the and why the world is watching children dying. but doing nothing to stop it, the same bus raphael to 03 and in the occupied westbank. and israel has launched a series of attacks on 711 on at least 3 members of a family were killed in the home in their home and whole lot, including a mother and her child. heavy shelling has also targeted the time of confir, the strikes that buildings in the area on fi, a causing significant damage. at least 4 to 9 civilians have been killed in 711 on since israel launch its war on guys in october. has the law says it has long to retaliatory strikes in response to the killings of 3 civilians and 11 on. these are images from northern israel. more than 50 rockets were fi towards the city of curious mona, as well as, as it was targeting the legal settlement of confirm for baker purchase. when they

do, it's a fraction of what they used by pot behind the bread, milk, meat, vegetables, everything is expensive. prices of doubled, in most cases, we are barely surviving. great, se they not typically mean, i mean the, the, when we transport goods, we pay almost double of what we used to the transports as tell us it's because of the increase in cost of fuel effective that is clearly felt by people of trad, of 2 weeks ago the government of china now was to hike in the price of fuel, was made to it, declared an emergency in areas of food and nutrition. the united nations listed chide is one of the world's most insecure countries in terms of food supply, mainly due to the impact of climate change. the world foot program size, the food in these warehouses on it has 4017 percent of child support, the nation. that's 2900000 people who depend on the toner supplies. the u. an

agency says it needs $440000000.00 to provide food for the next 6 months. and right now, it's out of money a day just as one. the coverage shot to just an inflation asset to get worse, it's going to get tough. so now during the lean season, so you have this new season, well basically people have all the scenarios that they have in the house. now they have exhausted everything and they need to wait for the next august and september climate change and insecurity. a force many promise of the line. and for the inflation neighborhood, countries isn't helpful to try some countries also all. now having post on the, on, on export. so some countries where we will use to buy, you know, buy chat and we can not. so we are really counting on the cereals that we can build, chase locally, each other. this has met the competition for nuclear,

valuable food items, more intense. it's the poor, poor of lost out, especially now the agents is couple of 2 or no money to help. how many degrees i'll give you that given well, i speak to an ace, quite andres. so is the m s. s. doctors without borders? a country representative in shawn. she's live from jemina. nice. thank you for being with us on algae 0. so talk to us about the factors that i've contributed to this worsening food crisis in chad. a good evening. thank you for having us. uh tonight. uh yes the, the situation is really by uh, it's an a commission of factors. so there are natural uh, factors such as rain levels that we're not we're not good in some areas that have too much in some areas. not enough. uh they have uh flooded the number of agricultural areas last year. so we were expecting that the dis,

nutritional season was going to be bad. and then the country also suffered um 2 major price uh, hikes my grand international oh we, we seem to have lost connection it to a nice uh, we have lost the connection. uh, unfortunately, we were speaking the 20s for the andres of, and they said i was talking to us about the food crisis in chat. meanwhile, in south, so don, while the un peacekeeping chief has warned that sa, so don, is not ready for elections later this year. jump here like why brief to the security council following his visit to the country last month and election is scheduled for december. as part of saw saddam's democratic transition. the myriad of factors were likely effect elections, insults within a federal leading economy, as intensified fights over resources, and meant to hi, unemployment particularly impacting the youth. in addition,

political competition are amongst the ruling elite increased in to come in all classes and the added strain inflicted by the influx of right to our knees and refugees escaping the conflict into them. of all combined towards an assessment that elections when held are going to take place in an environment of elevated tensions. the gang zane hate valley police and the army for control of the main airport in the capital. the country is in a state of emergency, after gang leaders announced they were going to overthrow the government, the whereabouts of prime minister, a long e r. a known he went to nairobi last week to finalize a deal on sending kenyan police to haiti to help. but has not returned can yes, for an ministry says he flew to new york on saturday, but the state department officials wouldn't confirm or deny if he was still in the us. stephanie decker has more the international airport has stopped operating.

no flights in or out paralyzed by gang biden's like much of the country. a gang leader and former police officer jimmy sherry's, a nick named barbecue is claimed responsibility for the attacks. seeing the aims to force the prime minister of yellow only to stand down in an unusual move, the guns are uniting to bring down the government. and analysts say this could be a turning point in the eighty's already to much was history. the government gave us the weapons to fight with our brothers and sisters, now retained the guns and gave to them to fight them because they don't do anything for us. games of over on 2 of the main prisoners in the capital, producing several 1000 prisoners, including gang leaders, gun partials are taking place in the streets. prisoners of escaped from several jails, it's miserable. the crisis is guessing, louis everywhere is unsafe. a cons.
