there is not much detail on whatjoe biden would do with another four years. tonight, he has the bully pulpit to launch his relection campaign. it is perhaps one of the most significant, state of the union addresses in living memory. we will look ahead to tonight's speech in the company katty kay, we will also hearfrom one of the invited guests who will be sitting in the gallery. in that speech tonight, joe biden will announce the american us military is to lead an emergency mission to establish a port on gaza's coast. and what is going on at red bull? team manager christian horner still in place. but the invistigation into him has put the skids on red bulls challenge in jeddah this weekend. welcome to the programme. a live shot capitol building in washington tonight,

where the eyes of tens of millions of americans will be trained, in just a few hours�* time, for the annual state of the union address. it could be one of the most important speechesjoe biden delivers this year. the concerns about the president's age have intensified in recent months. his average approval rating is 38% — the lowest mark in his presidency. he is facing a host of international crises and domestic challenges. so it's notjust what he says tonight — it is how he delivers it. the white house recognises the significance. they have been rehearsing for days because they know that, right now, the election is a coin flip, and this is a valuable opportunity for president biden to stake his case to four more years. we are told that in this speech tonight, president biden will announce to congress that he has ordered the us military to build a temporary port in gaza to help with the transfer of humanitarian aid from cyprus.

the pontoon on gaza's mediterranean coast, which you would think would be close to the existing port in gaza city, will be used to bring in food, water, medicine. the shortages particularly accute of course in the northern section of the strip. and we know that us allies, will be involved, at least on the cyprus end of the operation, where of course the uk has a big presence. live now to our state department correspondent tom bateman in washington. certainly welcome but some might say it comes to late and pretty scant on detail. , . . , it comes to late and pretty scant on detail. , . ., , ., detail. very late and very scant on detail. very late and very scant on detail. in terms _ detail. very late and very scant on detail. in terms of— detail. very late and very scant on detail. in terms of the _ detail. very late and very scant on detail. in terms of the timing - detail. in terms of the timing issuesit detail. in terms of the timing issues it could take up to two months alone just to build and that is before you get to all of the very challenging logistical and security issues involved in all of this. why issues involved in all of this. why is it happening now? it has been nearly a weekjoe biden has made it clear publicly that his patience has

run out with israel when it comes to theissue run out with israel when it comes to the issue of delivering humanitarian aid inside the gaza strip. remember, the absolutely desperate and chaotic situation on the ground. we saw last week more than 100 palestinians killed around an aid convoy, desperate and hungry people. the palestinians say they were shot by the israelis, most of them. israelis say most were killed in a stampede. the reality is you have a un warning more than a quarter of the population is on the brink of famine. joe biden has been under this growing pressure, given that the us is israel's key ally, the key superpower that arms the israeli s and that his increased the pressure onjoe and that his increased the pressure on joe biden and that his increased the pressure onjoe biden to come up with some solution to the humanitarian crisis. they say they believe there are no excuses from the israelis about why more aid cannot get in. israel says it is getting through the land

crossing but not distributed, blaming the us, the un blames israel for those failures. this is a bit of seaport that would be built by the us navy off the shore and then floated towards the coastline of gaza. at that point the detail gets very sketchy and tends to really run out when questions are being asked about crucially who will build a temporary that connects the seaport to coast itself. then what happens on the beach. 0nce to coast itself. then what happens on the beach. once the aid gets delivered you state the same scenario we have seen in the north of gaza, where there is no security left. who will secure the packages of age, we don't have answers from the administration at all yet, likely to be looking for some sort of longer term plan with golf allies around security but that's one of

the big unanswered questions. —— gulf allies. the big unanswered questions. -- gulf allies-— gulf allies. politics plays a part in this, they — gulf allies. politics plays a part in this, they will _ gulf allies. politics plays a part in this, they will be _ gulf allies. politics plays a part in this, they will be people - gulf allies. politics plays a part i in this, they will be people within his own caucus who want that ceasefire. don't think he is putting enough pressure on the israelis and has to show them he has a grip of it. , ,., . , ., ., it. there is politics involved at every step- — it. there is politics involved at every step- we _ it. there is politics involved at every step. we wait _ it. there is politics involved at every step. we wait out - it. there is politics involved at every step. we wait out the i every step. we wait out the administration has seen for months now is a ceasefire for hostage release deal. we know that has got pretty close, but at the moment it is falling apart temporarily in cairo put on the table by the israelis. hamas said they will be back at the table next week but you are basically getting into the start of ramadan, the islamic holy month, that makes things harder in the sense of the security situation on the ground throughout the region, particularly the dangers it brings injerusalem. that

particularly the dangers it brings in jerusalem. that will focus particularly the dangers it brings injerusalem. that will focus minds but we are no further forward and as you say, it only increases the pressure onjoe biden because without this way out, a ceasefire for him politically, the closer we get to an election that is putting huge pressure on him and it will make things much more difficult. quick one, there will be relatives of those taken hostage, some release, some who died in captivity, some who are still there who will be in the gallery this evening listening to this speech. what can joe biden say to them given hamas has walked away from discussions in cairo? ., , has walked away from discussions in cairo? . , . ., has walked away from discussions in cairo? . , ., ., , cairo? that is another way it is absolutely _ cairo? that is another way it is absolutely focused _ cairo? that is another way it is absolutely focused his - cairo? that is another way it is absolutely focused his mind i cairo? that is another way it is - absolutely focused his mind because that agonising wait that is now five months and for those families, one of the sticking points has been around the demand by israel to release a list of hostages for the first tranche of release by hamas, thought to be around a0 people

because the israelis still don't know which hostages have survived and which have been killed in gaza. without the ability, mr biden will have hoped he was now in a position to announce or confirm they were going to get this deal, yet they are not here, so it is another very serious problem for him i think. thank you. the widest points of the speech, reporting as the speech goes out, as i was saying, the detail is important because he is effectively launching his campaign is the start of the general election but it is how he delivers it tonight that will be most closely watched. yes. how he delivers it tonight that will be most closely watched. yes, part content and — be most closely watched. yes, part content and part _ be most closely watched. yes, part content and part performance. - be most closely watched. yes, part content and part performance. you | content and part performance. you have _ content and part performance. you have the _ content and part performance. you have the pressure onjoe biden to layout— have the pressure onjoe biden to layout and — have the pressure onjoe biden to layout and agenda for the next four years _ layout and agenda for the next four years and _

2—5 degrees for the most part. however, where the winds drop light, if we get some clearer spells, we could see just an odd nip of frost in rural areas. friday, well, we've got low pressure to our southwest, high pressure to our northeast, and overall, friday promises to be a windier day, so that's going to make it feel a bit colder if you're out and about. the uk's only named wind is the helm wind — that's going to be with us blowing over crossville and into cumbria. over into the west of high ground, gusts could reach into the 40s of miles an hour, so it will be a blustery kind of day. and again, there could be occasional spits of drizzle, maybe a bit of mist coming in off the north sea at times. temperatures on the low side around our north sea coast. otherwise, in the west, temperatures quite close to average. the weekend is dominated by this area of low pressure, which brings us some thicker cloud and the threat of some areas of rain. now, it's not going to be raining all the time. on saturday, we're just looking at some patches coming up across england, wales into northern ireland, the best of the day's sunshine and drier weather for western scotland. we may well find some persistent showers,

so quite a wet day potentially across the eastern hills of scotland, maybe some sunny spells breaking through across the midlands, east anglia and southeast england later in the day. but around those north sea coasts, temperatures will continue to struggle, as indeed they will once again on sunday. the onshore winds continuing to blow across the cold north sea, making it feel chilly again. you can see cloud and patches of rain. the best of any sunshine is once again likely to be to the north and west of the uk. temperatures quite close to average in london, but again on the cold side for east scotland and parts of eastern england.
