0, now the us will send a new carrier boost to the middle east to increase support for the defense of israel. the hello. this is also, is there a lie from the also coming up? a lot of funeral prayers will be assassinated. the political lead. i'm almost with an emotional needs from his widow the, the party votes have been costs to come in. the house is just the days away from being for many confirmed as donald trump's rivals, the us presidency press, plus venezuela's opposition cost to move process the saturday to challenge an

election many say was fortunate in the the united states will send a new carrier group to them at least as well as deploying muscle defense vessels and to fight a squadron to the region. washington says it wants to mitigate any military escalation from iran. depends on maybe announcement does concerns grow about a possible response to is very strikes and live and on and the assassination of almost lita is mala nia in iran. oh, let's go now to heidi joe castro, who's in washington dc. i did. can you tell us more about the changes announced by the pentagon, concerning the u. s. military in the middle east to yes, i mean, as a pentagon said that these changes were ordered by the us secretary of defense,

slight austin himself because they were quote, necessary measures in order to increase the u. s. as combat readiness to defend us troops, as well as to come to the aid of israel. these movements are many parts they include having the u. s. s. abraham lincoln battleship group. move in to the region to replace the u. s. s. theodore roosevelt. with its some 40 fighter planes, which has already moved from the persian gulf, closer now to israel into the gulf of oman. the u. s. is also sending more ballistic missile defense, capable cruisers and destroyers to the region. and in addition, another fighter jet squadron to the middle east, that is, in addition to increasing readiness to deploy additional land based ballistic missile defense systems and potentially more us troops to the region to operate these many assets. now all of this again was ordered by the defense secretary who had a phone call with his as really counterpart. you'll have

a lot earlier in the day on friday. that's when they committed these forces to come to israel's defense. and also again, reiterating the us as long from us to israel for it's quote, iron clad. defensive is allied. but, and given to that commitment, the u. s. is made id the department of defense is the step. so to mitigate the possibility of regional escalation by ronald if any ron's partners in proxies. now that's the official line. how much pressure is they on the us to de escalate the situation? yeah, just the magically they are trying to de escalate militarily though we're seeing the opposite with these movements of more military assets into the region because it is a tricky line for the pentagon to walk. the acknowledge that this may be seen as an opposite effect. having more troops and more assets in the region. but this was

something that austin and go on spoke of on their call earlier in the day with austin saying that all countries in the region would benefit from the escalation, which is in keeping with the vide in ministration stance 5 and telling that in yahoo, just yesterday on the phone, that is really should move toward a ceasefire deal and that he was very concerned by the escalation of tensions in the region. how did your castro, thanks very much for that from washington dc. let's continue this conversation with david the ro, she's a professor at the national defense universities, also former nato operations director in the office of the secretary of defense. and he's also speaking to us from washington d. c. thanks very much for joining us on 0 to 0. as id like to have alluded to, the us defense department says the deployment of these additional jets fighters and worships estimates the gates and the threats. but would that be, would this be interpreted as that to?

well, that's always the problem. with preemptive defense. what one side sees as a defensive measure to signal you know that a willingness to deal with any office of things. the other side may see as a, as a signal for attack. and the, the worry is that in the absence of clear communications between both potential adversaries, you get into an involuntary ratcheting effect where both sides feel that they have to take or rather rash, precipitous action, or they will be out of under ability. so i think that the diplomatic efforts that accompany this are to say, look, we're not intending to attack you, but if you should think about attacking understanding, we have considerable assets and the region will remain just to see whether that works or not. we have so far heard responses from iran, especially funding developments in recent days, including the assassination of how much politically to

a small town in which they've blamed israel for is a response for beyond a certain, the inevitable and the so what might it look like? because it wouldn't be necessarily similar to the a taxi to a few months of, of what it's or no, i think that you know, the people iran uses error ups to fight and die for raining, an interest against israel, the uranium, the skin in the game is is very, very limited. so i think what we could expect would be um, the attacks from the various proxy groups and 11 on human iraq and syria. and then i think that we could also expect to see unlimited long range missile strikes possibly as well. some are g c, actions against jewish vices really interest overseas, which is in keeping with their past demo. but the ron strategic concept is to do

everything possible to avoid a retaliatory or a direct attack on the rain in homeland. so they'll probably try to push opposite proxies with a few, you know, long range strike missile strikes, just because they have to do that like feel they have to do that. well, at this point they say fairly contained a submission is between his blah and as well. i'm suggesting perhaps that the both sides might want to to limit uh, whatever happens next. but is that about to change? so i don't think so. so let's start with him. ok, so there, there are been no from us rocket strikes, india, israel, which i think indicates that israel has succeeded in destroying or disabling that capability at least for now. most analysts to look at the has the fall of a rocket in both guided missile capability field that,

that is being held by iran in reserve to deter, against a incapacity and strength against your on some nuclear capability. so that's the wrong place and the whole and i don't think that they will expand that over an assassination of a mos chief. that's important for iran, but it's not as important as their nuclear program and the wild card. and all of this, however, is cry. iran was humiliated by an assassination, you know, adjacent to the central palace. and so they may take a rational action just because they're motivated by pride and humiliation. what is why it would be concerned a tool, a by its capabilities, its capacity it's, it's a defense system. it's iron clad, at least as far as we've seen. but it's also being overwhelmed in the last 10 months. hasn't it? as well? no air defense system is iron clad. so what you have to do is establish a list of targets to defend and then you put your assets up against it. and because

of the a symmetry of costs, where it costs 10 to a 100 times as much to take down the missiles that does the fire missile, you can always overwhelm an air defense system, particularly if you coordinate the actions from the proxies. an attack from multiple directions, the north from 11 on the east, from iran, or from iraq, and then the south from the who sees. so it is theoretically pretty possible to overwhelm the system. the question is whether you can do it with a degree of accuracy, to incapacitate israel's ability to respond if i don't fit cap. so you don't just look at the defensive capability, isn't israel? you also look at what punishment would they inflict upon iran or ron's proxies. and that is the real essence of deterrence. and i, i think that discussion of that is kind of missing from, from the popular discussion here. but i think that is restraining rainy and actions . all right, we appreciate your time and jo insights, so is good speaking to david,

the rush professor at the national defense university as we follow events in the middle east. thank you. it's an honor as well. the announcement from the offensive on comes all is off to dignities from across them, release to pay their final farewell to $1.00 of the regions. most significant political figures. mosley, the is smiling. he has been buried and cut those capital dough following place of us. he was assassinated, did ronald wednesday russell's that attended the service and sent us this report. on the hundreds came from echoes, got the l sweating division to pay their respects. patrice, might honey. the political either or from us funeral prayers were housed at the main mosque in the capital 110, no, not one. uh, cuz uh, the security was tight. the image as well as for them dignitaries and high levels,

delegation for them for the what do you know, attendance i followed any as by the arrived on thursday of the funeral service inter wrong. the kids with the m f. c is her own good by offering the hospitals pretty from beside. he's coughing. the you are my support in this life and the next you are my love, my love. say hello to all the martyrs of garza safe. although to all the leaders to all of gods, is marchers all the muslims, my love, me, god, make it easier for you. a lot of work about of the how do you then how you lead in? how much do you go to the site to the prayer for the dad? the customer passed through the mosque, which was packed with warners. how side people express the soto as well as concern for negotiations between israel and how much were teneo was sensitive to the system?

hold off, he was the essence, congratulations. he was the main site of the negotiations. speaking on behalf of the resistance. his assassination has to show assassinated the negotiations. a penny, as buddy was taken familial cemetery and lucy, north have to have for burial where the founder of the state of got this is beverly . it's my honey. it was the most prominent pausing a figure in how most ranks leaving, pull someone up with that shall cease by an agreement with israel. now the question is, who will replace him? and perhaps most significantly, does this as a nation mean and to negotiations towards adding cause war on gaza? let's just have that. i'll just say around the following the assassination of is melania. a lot of uncertainty looms over the gauze and strip and the future of ceasefire negotiations included, he has moved from dental by law in central garza, the people are very concerned. they're frustrated. their dreams are exhausted. the

most common in figure of this plot ceasefire deal in negotiations has been estimated by israel. now this policy needs are perceiving this in a couple of ways. some people are stay on task and maybe there will be negotiations . and the main reason why it's nice to meet you was skills because at that phase where these don't want negotiations with the palestinians. but palestinians who had a little bit, a glimpse of hope at nearly lost it after the loss of the, you know, people are having a lot of questions. a lot of concerns. they're asking, who's going to replace them is then you go see since ongoing, is there anything positive relating to the wire that in people are very tired, they're waiting for the days where they are going to read night with their families that are separated. they're waiting to dig for the bodies of the missing aside. many members are waiting for the minute. they could go outside the cost of group

and receive their medical treatment. there's a lot of, of, of misery and then lots of discussion among the palestinians and the killing of somebody the made the suffering worse, especially that there's no hold or anything related to the negotiations in the region right now. meanwhile, is wells low and strikes into southern living on the latest and a raid on the village of i tell shop and the merger you in districts this comes off to lebanon's, has been a flight of baggage of rockets towards northern israel. it comes at a time of heights and tension on the border of the israel assassinated senior. his will come on to fortune. good on saturday. i said, beg isn't larger unit and he has moved on those rockets fired by his beloved in his beloved zones a barrel. as i did on the surface, do some produce the rockets towards is ready positions. in fact, we saw some of those in the night sky for maybe a head in motors that you know has with us is that that was there was in response

to an his radio struck targeting the town of chima where we understand a display soon from you a killed a mother and 4 of the children. we also understand that some lebanese people civilians were injured in dr. talking to his with us is that they have responded to that. but also is with us is that they have hit the is re the side of being the occupied ship of funds area. and they've been the tit for tat has been ongoing his roles. okay. not for the 1st time that they've talked to these ready? all pains with anti aircraft missiles, forcing them to the truth, but in $711.00 on the border areas is with us, is that there is a continuous eh, rate it rate. and that, that's because they say that these regular trees in the state of panic, they claim. and they because they are a waiting his because reaction response to retaliation for the assassination of the senior his but the command on the salute as well. and what is roles expecting?

she's in jordan's capital, i'm on that is really official say they're prepared for a wide variety of scenarios in the wake of a potential retaliatory attack by the audience, who's bella, and perhaps other members of the access of resistance. at this time, they're saying that there's been no changes in the guidelines of homefront command, but that they are prepared for any sort of situation. earlier on friday, these really are me. i had tested some sort of precision missile by these really navy. they say that this with the tests conducted as a type of interceptor these really army. it has an air defense system that is 3 fold and is usually iron climbed, but has been overwhelmed in the last 10 months by the war on guns and also from rockets that have been fired from southern lebanon by his butler. no benjamin netanyahu had previously spoken with you as president joe bided on thursday, and reports within his really media had said that he was looking to coordinate some sort of international coalition of allies within the region in order to help combat

some sort of large scale attack that would be directed at israel, but in the space of all of this, these really are saying that at this time there has been no change in any sort of security measures. but that they are prepared for a wide variety of scenarios as their bracing for what's next time to send food. i just eat all on. as a reminder, comes as reporting from jordan, because as well as government has banned all to 0 from full costing, there are still ahead on l g 0 a wave of violent protest erupt in the u. k of to a teenager attempts to be children. the human heart be a very good description of the weather in a good part of this se inside of china,

but there is right around the seasonal right. and that's it. so let me know if the yangtze in here, which is in shanna, towards badging, stretching up to a top and, and covering on color, hold on baton, for example, because this cleaning was, it was the cleanest city in the world has reported at least this during the past the saturday, but the forecast is present proud of future housing, the southeast of china. not many. it has to be said, this is the main rang belt, which is drifting sites which might just catch north korea once again. nothing much happening. japan. right. break of lot to shells, possibly look at a soc is temperature of the 8 human degrees that's on the high side right into the easier it should be next, the drawing i use mostly, but nothing tati. sooner i should have studied drivers to the east. they were bigger to the west and probably won't be in chicago to stay within the risk. these are in for the examples more likely and see monitoring his costs up through here towards india and pakistan where the huge dime pulls off still arrived is not quite

as bad in current and that, but it's still raining here as you can see. but it's dry pool that's produced or has reported the most rain in the last day as a bull my whole, my average the wants of the capital of the compare empire. the serene ancient city of uncle and present they come bowed. yeah. is it protected unesco world? heritage sites, but as its temples of lakes and irrigation canals are being preserved, many of its inhabitants are being relocated. people in power investigates the alleged force evictions of thousands of families. the battle for the soul of anchor bucks, part 2 on a jersey. the

the, to watch and i'll just a reminder about top stories because i want the united states as announced, it will send a new carrier group to the middle east, as well as the point missile defense vessels. as a fighter, squadron to the region, washington says it wants to mitigate any ministry escalation from iran. the funeral for almost politically, they smile any as females and cutoff neil was assassinated into wrong on wednesday . both of us in iran have accused his role of carrying off the attack as well as low strikes into southern living on the latest and a raid on the village of i talked shop and the marcio district. this comes off to live in on his for the fly, the badge of rockets towards moving israel, the

u. s. vice president carmella harris has won enough delegate votes to be the democratic presidential nominee. while the online voting process continues until monday, she's already secured the move in 2300 votes needed to secure the nomination and a phone message. heritage was honored to leave the ticket. i am honored to be the presumptive democratic nominee for president of the united states. and i will tell you the tireless work of our delicate it's our state leaders. and staff has been pivotal in making this moment possible. john engine has moved from washington dc. it's not official, but cala harris can now safely be called the presumed democratic nominee for president. and her 1st decision is a big one. she's got to pick a vice presidential running mate in doing that, she would be the 1st female black president,

the 1st south asian president. and so most of the people she seems to be looking at are white men. she's also maybe going to want to look for regional balance, like when john kennedy in 1960 ne sooner picked lyndon johnson, a southerner for his running mate. she's also going to want to pick someone ideally who can help her when one of those t battleground states. and she's going to want to find someone who would do no harm . that's the less. and the donald trump has been learning to his detriment. after picking j d vance has made a number of statements in the press that have caused that campaign some problems. so the people she's looking at are democratic governors like j. b, pressure of illinois to wallets of minnesota. but those are both solidly democratic states. anyway, if she wants to add a state, she could go to mark kelly, the arizona senator where she should go, she could go to josh shapiro. he is the governor of pennsylvania who won that state by 15 percentage points. so in looking at doing that, those are the people that she seems to be looking at,

but she could also throw out the rule book entirely. that's what bill clinton did in 1992. when he picked another white southerner and al gore and they went on to win the presidential nomination, john henry and l g 0. washington. well showed us and is a democratic political strategist and convention delegates. he says, cumberland harris has reinvigorated the democratic campaign for the white house. what i have been see is groups across the democratic. so they across different credit coalition. in our cost is broad. it's diverse. it is, it can be occasionally contentious, one by one group after group active group has gotten it's use. yes. i mean just backing comma, i mean do z. yeah, certainly behind her, we're sort of starting our own sort of calls not organized, but it can't be, but people are just fun to use the by the thousands and thousands getting on these kind of zoom, telephones, punching money. uh,

i talked to my state pretty chair and he said he had never had so many people call his office or email his accounts to say, oh, it was like, without any sort of like, oh, he wants to volunteer without any prompt people are calling democratic party offices to see what they can do. this is enthusiasm on a level that i have not seen since at least 2008. when brock obama got elected. it was defense secretary lloyd austin has revoked a play deal that was agreed earlier this week with the man and 2 of his accomplices accused of mazda minding the september 11th attacks. fee of the $5911.00 defendants at pantano had agreed to plead guilty to all their charges, including the murder of nearly $3000.00 people. this was reportedly in exchange for the prosecution, agreeing to not seek the death penalty. according to him, in the random signed by austin on friday, the pretty agreements have since been revolt. and then as well as opposition is

quoting for move process the sad today to challenge the government of nicholas. my doro thing says last week's presidential election was fraudulent. president and they close my doors says they were trying to remove him from office 3 zable reports, the lines of people waiting for news of their loved ones who had been detained for protesting against venice. wait as election. cecilia by his grandson is one of them . say over at the if the mr. president, it's not my fault to be here waiting for my grandson. i did not send him to do anything wrong if you can bear me a live if you want to reduce my grandson, willing to live because he's the only one i have at least 1200 people have been detained. positioning since the government of nicola, my, the wheel committed fraud. last sunday. it says it has the original tally sheets that prove with me on the one side. this is the true winner and calling on people

to take to the streets. on saturday ramos i stated monday and now that we are going to make the truth come through the world will see the strength and determination of a society decided to live in freedom. me go out. the electorate council says my little one with 51 percent of the vote, but so far has failed to show the tatty sheets that prove his victory. your name was instead of saying the government says the system was hacked and demanded a formal investigation by the supreme court. on friday, 10 presidential candidates showed up, including my will. but the main opposition candidate and when the one silas was not there to boise off on the southern company that the once again the fastest candidate gonzalez is not showing his face. what does he planning move island, or that i thought they have some criminals in hiding that we have not yet detained, protesting buses on fire. police stations. cause why you know the show in your face, mr. gonzales gonzales has been publicly threatened with prison by the attorney

general and other members of model those governments. meanwhile, the united states and other countries in the region have declared that gonzalez won't be elections. left his precedence from columbia, brazil and mexico are asking level to show the results as the opposition continues to call for protests against the government, the country is getting ready to see more calles and pain base. i will, i'll just see the police officers in the u. k. of been injured in riots holding a stabbing attack. the killed 3 young goals for the shade on. online video shows several 100 people rampaging in. sunderland city center in north explain gland setting fire to a call as a police station. official say online was information among the far right groups, both of which is one suspect. actual who to combine us is feel the on risk. meanwhile process doesn't level pool have gathered in what they say is

a move to protect the mosque from similar attacks they to a met with right, we encounter protests, melina, visited individuals, the a law, off and down the country had been on the highlands, optical spread online, to far right to, to just to come and gather in front of them, including here in little pull the vin really tight security now police 5 or around this area. they have just close the. 6 because they have the minus stuff close between a very smooth with all right. the horses and the people who say they are defending the malls to the police presence is quite strong. there's also a surveillance across the police, savannah, as ad across in the sky. the gates of the most have been changed by the mom. the said that he was the community to come to gather. here's what he had to say. our priority, you know, is the escalation, bringing some piece. and then let's talk because i think not enough people talk with each other they, they stand in their own corners and they,

they believe lots of different things about each other. much of it is a load of rubbish. so let's sit down, let's eat together. let's talk together. so things have got more time here. you've got the far right courses on one end of the streets and then you've got you can see the police have closed this road of really high police presence when you bought people, as you say that defending them all on the other side of the street that heavy, many tons and quite a high police presence just feels like we tend to lightly on edge of but the 2 sides apart without them sitting rich out 0. beautiful. there's been move violence in the night. you in capital with police fire into a guess to dispose protest as this and go over the rising cost of living. more than a dozen people are reported has been killed. i'm going to address has moved from lagos, another 10 stay united julia huston was strict. his return to the district policing

of buddha, loved kick as a protest, just demanding government action to reduce the high cost of living. they also demanding broad economic, political, and social reforms. the balance of destruction from 2 days of protest is heightened fee is across the country $1.00 to $1.00 those that recall. so trying to do so, i don't want to list and that will not for now house on cl country to be destroyed in the state of your be despite a curfew. who loves attacked, the red cross offices and vandalize each vehicles and illegals. a stand off between protest and the police continues with businesses worried about possible attacks on the investments. there'll be no. yeah. well, the rep with us something you believe it's a facility for the test. this gives you the just like insurances from the police. many businesses remain closed for a 2nd day. i don't.
