4:05 am
blocking ships from reaching the city. and since 2007, the port has been under israel's naval blockade. got the c port is the only mediterranean port close to shipping. israel says it supports the us plan to build a temporary port. let's have this in who reports from occupied east jerusalem. this is really official speaking anonymously to is really media are welcoming the decision by the binding administration to set up this port in the see that will help with the delivery of a this official also said that these really is, will be involved in the planning with the united states now for ports mentioned that there will be screenings of this aid at that port in cyprus, where it will then go on to its final destination in gaza. so the is really, are going to be involved in this, but their level of involvement is still a no. and once the president of the united states formally makes that announcement, we can expect more information to come out from the is really,
4:06 am
is additionally as rules work, have it is meeting this evening. so it could be something on the agenda for them to discuss as well. the americans have been dissatisfied with the little amount of humanitarian aid that has been going in to gaza. in fact, it was something that was brought up when war cabinet administer benny gans met with american officials in washington earlier this week. but again, the policy of these really prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been to supply as minimal amount of 8 as he can in order to he says, preserve israel's image with his allies. and additionally, to prevent a humanitarian disaster that catastrophe, as we know, has been folded over the last 5 months in the war. now, entering it 6 months. secret colleague, the you and the senior humanitarian and reconstruction coordinator for gaza. so sending a through a temporary report would not meet the needs of the people. i cannot but repeat
4:07 am
air and see is not a substitute for land and nobody says otherwise, the dish anality, however, at this critical juncture, will be very important. now how frustrated am i? i think i don't have the luxury actually i've, i've taken on this neary possible assignment because i believe it's a moral imperative for all of us. we have to do the utmost against all the possible obstacles. the n thomas is on the way, it's our duty, so i don't have time and i, it's a privilege to be frustrated. i think all of us see the image just in the out. we work for innocent civilians. as we mentioned, joe biden will give the 3rd state of the union speech of his presidency in the next hour. these are live pictures from capitol hill, where he'll be addressing a joint session of congress. there's pressure on binding to prove he should be elected for another term. and then he can, when he gets donald trump. here's alan fisher with more. he's delivered to state of
4:08 am
the union speech is but never have the stakes being higher, but his start for dual bite. and this isn't just the plan for the next 12 months. it's about leading out his case for re election in november. the president will outline and the agenda that is about continuing to build on the progress that we've made over the last 3 years. the economy will dominate bite and believes he's a good story to tell low unemployment load inflation and rising salaries. republicans on buying it if you had to describe in one word what you believe the state of the union is. you've heard the word crisis, you've heard catastrophe. i think maybe a summary is decline last year, bike negotiated with republicans right from the podiums by some when the boot has possession of a continuing support for the country senior. as we all apparently agree, the social security, medicare is off, is off the books. now not the right pardon the push for renewed it to your clean painting is
4:09 am
a us security issue. you'll also know it's an american military operation to get more aid into guys and people will be watching to see if you're in use calls for a ceasefire. there and how willing he is to push that idea. and then there's the added pressure to advise you with this, you speak to the strong is a to become a key factor in the election, any stumble, any mistake, any error will be magnified by the trump campaign. acute his hopes of delivering another state of the union island fisher. i'll just see you there at the white house right across from capitol hill. hundreds of protesters have gathered in various parts of washington dc. so demanding joe biden call for an immediate cease fire. and in the israel's blockade of gaza, some are brandishing banners, saying biden's legacy is genocide. he's been facing protests votes during the primaries, from a section from
4:10 am
a selection of democrats who voted uncommitted in states such as michigan and minnesota or our white house correspondent, kimberly how could joins us live now from capitol hill. kimberly, this is a pivotal moment for presidential biden. it's his 1st day of the union speech since he announced his re election campaign. what do we expect to hear from biden during this address? and mohammed, i'm coming to you from capitol hill and what's known as statutory hall, where already the senators and members of congress, including from the house of representatives, are filling into their seats, getting ready for that speech and what we're expecting. and they're expecting to hear from the president, and we've had some extra already. is that the president's going to try to appeal to women who's going to promise to restore roe v wade. what has been known for half a century until the supreme court of returned it was right to choose or abortion rights. that was a federal rights in the united states for so long. i will also,
4:11 am
he's going to promise to continue to rebuild the economy from the middle out and the bottom up instead of what he says is trickle down. economics is the republicans are promising and he's also going to squarely as alan fischer reported just a moment ago, addressed the issue of his age at 81. he is the oldest us presidents and he's going to really challenge the notion that he is too old and make a comparison to donald trump. we understand without actually mentioning him by may, but also making the argument that donald trump is just as old as he is at 77. he's going to say that some other people, my age, see an american story of resentment, revenge, and retribution. that's not me. so he's really going to try to pay to contrast between him self and who he sees as the presumptive republican nominee. and kimberly, we were just talking about about the fact that there are these hundreds of pro palestinian protesters that are out in various parts of washington dc,
4:12 am
demanding the bite and call for an immediate cease fire and gaza. we are expecting a major announcement from by them or do harding cause? what more do you know about that? that's right. we expect according to the white house, the president is going to announce that there will be the construction of a temporary ports in gaza. i live in the c along, guys that, that will allow for humanitarian a to be immediately brought in. it will be constructed by the us military. given the fact that israel has really allowed for one obstacle after another, leading to the start of ation of tens of thousands of people. and of course, adding to the more than $30000.00. and as a result of what we know is that this is the forward to be somewhat problematic for the president, given the fact that he has promised no boots on the ground. in other words, no us soldiers. but if the military is building this, that is going to kind of be a broken promise,
4:13 am
setting himself up for some criticism. mounting his republican critics. so this may be a little bit of a worry, some issue for the president solely for depressed ahead. but again, you've talked about how popular that policy is when it comes to supporting israel and israel's war on gaza for the president. in fact, members of his own democratic party are going to be wearing cease fire pins when they watch the speech when he delivers it in and out under an hour's time. all right, that sounds easier, isn't. whitehouse correspond to. kimberly how could live for us from capitol hill. thanks so much. kimberly. all right, let's now bring it out. is there a senior political analyst, marijuana shara from london? but why don't we just start kimberly or kimberly, they're talking about the fact that the biden is going to announce this plan to establish a temporary port on causes coast to bring in more aid to gaza. or we hearing this from biden. now, because the us has been unable to pressure israel into allowing in more aid,
4:14 am
or is this more of a political move because biden is facing increasing pressure from democratic voters . these voters, especially in primaries who've been voting uncommitted, to launch their disapproval of biden's unconditional support. it is real well, both are plausible explanations and they are mutually exclusive. in other words, it's possible that he wants to please us segments of the base that has been quite upset with his run the in humanitarian approach to the question of the better seniors and guys up. and it also could be a part of my psychological game. nice thing with nothing, you know, but either way, i must say i'm lost as to why the united states needs to go through such a bad exercise in the mid 3 and trying to build a temporary for almost 2 weeks. which,
4:15 am
which probably certainly is done in coordination with these ladies, because there's no way in the world that you can make such a deployment of troops. awesome, awesome guys. all, we're not going anything with these issues. so why would the united states go to such links organizing with these are these to build some kind of a temporary report that will take weeks and that will probably end up not being as, while time it just drops our way to the board. that would be just waiting to see what does the technicians release agency or the is what i'm ready to start. this should be things that i, when i set the networking guys i've at the state of doing it only this binding portion of pressure or nothing. you know why he's not doing that? i'm choosing alternative leave to go back to business. it's not clear for me,
4:16 am
but i want to how much trouble is biting, facing when it comes to losing support from air of americans and muslim americans and even black americans. when it comes to his guys a policy because these are crucial voting blocks for him, right? well, the large degree is that we've heard several weeks ago from black churches in saw really taking advantage over fame at by the sponsor towards the and be quite critical of the person. i think that in addition to the americans and the increasing number of the american jewish communities, as i said, most of the line balance of the young democrats altogether, of course, yes they, they, they are, and they make out for a serious blog indeed options. now this doesn't have to be huge for us, right?
4:17 am
it's only needs to be a small part. the importance swing space, but michigan might be so for just one percent to 2 percent of the vote to swing by the way or for them not to be on by them side, decisive because as you remember in 2020 by one, solve the space which one you several 1000 votes. so in fact, it's a 6 go the same way and say, i'm some african americans and some of the price i've seen from voting. i think that would be quite damaging the 1st on the buyer. but when we know that this is a crucial moment for buy it, and then we know that he's going to try to sell what he considers to be his accomplishments in office. he'll talk about the economy, low unemployment rising salaries, he'll talk about investment in infrastructure, forgiveness of student loan debt. but polls are showing that he is very unpopular
4:18 am
right now. and many democrats do not want him to run again. is he going to be able to re energize his bass with this speech? you know, i went back this evening and i listen once again. it is a 2023. the state of the on february and our shots of why a number of spaces at the time we spoke about the non virgin on 0. it's one be only talked about domestic affairs the show for us. there's even when there was ukraine, the vision or rush. uh, there was something a humiliating door i've gotten so far on policy was an after thoughts because the president was still pretty focused at least that is sufficiently, which basically says what his agenda was to be too far from one to speak for just focus on domestic us that i think somewhat different obviously speaking,
4:19 am
i mean something eastern and some things around. there's not the doctor about that . a certainly done but the trunk did and he said to me, but that doesn't what many expected that he would do. except he's not able to turn back into a positive perception of himself and his leadership. in other words, there's so much pessimism it seems in the halls among americans plan comes to displacements, even though he did the things around, especially the economy which is central to any collections. but yes, as you said, present before present from the he's successful in german, everything in america is the negative. that there is a tell tomorrow that there is just declining. it's best to me. it's carmen in america. what, in fact america is doing much better than the doing the term tiers?
4:20 am
i guess i'm just gonna have to close up some leadership in the coming months and the way it'd be more searches more every semester. with his age, many people doubts, he's going to be able to pull that one. besides the one you talk about the pessimism in the poles you also spoke earlier about these very small margins. the recruit shall in the swing states for binding to win re election. we know that the, by the ministration is involved in outreach, the air of american and most of the american communities right now. is there anything that they are saying that is changing mines and if 5 and we're to really go ahead and alter his policy when it comes to gaza? do you think that that would be enough to win back voters? you know, judging from the number of things we've been hearing for leadership, i'm on the side of most of the communities in the united states. is that the show
4:21 am
so angry, we're biting on behalf of the reasons to be i'm not just for being part of it. i'm sitting on right, because i think as we just spoke earlier, many segments of the population, most of the young. oh, don't all are not going to be the logical humbug. and a good number. african americans also have memories of their own. the victims were so on, so forth. the movement for justice in general in the united states to move up against racism. oh, that's awesome. and to get to the point that, you know, putting into that he said that the leadership in palestine and go on delta dental, this site is an hour and that's really important is complicity in the gym cycle. more. that is where it is waging on gas 5 months, 5 months. now, in a, in the state of the union speech, he's going to say how america is this happens by what's going on america. so how
4:22 am
america fees for the policy is, how am i going to stay silent as people start? as children die as disuse credit, as part of vision and time and people using 247 a that he's been sick all these things, but i'm not sure maybe. but vince, as he continues, as we speak to send on to is a support is more and guys, so the whole year now we feed for the palestinians, we've got to build the boards in. does that start to? so they stand and bought some sort of stuff. i'm not sure it's conversing to many people watching our piece. it is a new section has to be in the world crimes in the genocide, that is, i'm probably a big size on the tvs freeze of your all right,
4:23 am
that tells you they're a senior political analyst model. i'm to shout to. thanks so much money won, always great to get your perspective more than 300 palestinian professors and teachers have been killed in israel's war on gaza. and then the occupied westbank is really forces detained. at least 135 students from peter state university for opposing the war students, teachers and activists accuse israel of causing a brain drain and palestine with its attacks on educational institutions. same as robbie reports from the occupied to us back in 5 months of continue responding, israel has destroyed nearly all of causes higher education system. 12 of 19 universities completely destroyed. 95 professors and ph. d holders, 231 teachers and administrators, all killed of the 88000 college students. those left alive won't have anywhere to go back to school. the palestinians describe witnessing of parallel and systematic
4:24 am
war on education designed to wipe out garza schools and universities. when you have a life pulled cost of the destruction of a complete university that has one meaning. if you don't want the university to be the, the size of the destruction that we see today in higher education institutions is really something that is um president in the west bank. israel's crack down is less violent. but still obstructive includes university usually teeming with people all but empty. now, most students told to stay home to keep them safe from the dangers and indignities of check points and roadblocks. young adults increasingly profiled and targeted by israeli troops and settlers since the war began. the yeah, every corner of the university has meaning to me and memories, but now i feel that there's just books and was empty,
4:25 am
meaningless. since october 7th, bears 8th university has seen multiple military rates. dozens of students round it up, most without charged obvious attempts administrators and students say to silence peaceful protest at a century old institution with a history of fighting for freedom globally, campuses and activism. go ahead and present. here in romo light is no different. this is exactly the kind of thing that israel is trying to start. a place where young post indians are encouraged to think, evolve and grow a threat to the status quo. from how well it's my whole email, how it is an attempt to annihilate the policy and influence on the academic word. there's more that police time can give. there hasn't even been cyber attack since the war began targeting the university's network and servers says a serious threat and we should not underestimate that one of the human capital
4:26 am
students have is education. and this is really a main pillar, an order of culture. an order is a service and or education, how we, how we are raised. you know, education is the most important thing. israel's motives or clear rate campuses suppress students crush hopes for a better future by trying to deplete palace times greatest resource. it's people zane bus route, the old to 0. the occupied west bank. the state of emergency and a haiti has been extended by a month as game violence continues to spiral authorities, a band public gatherings and extended a nighttime curfew in the west of the country, including the capital of port a prince. last week games launched coordinated attacks on infrastructure, demanding the resignation of prime minister ariel on re, he's been unable to return from abroad after the airport. it was closed. the
