gerald fire stain is with the middle east institute in washington and a former us ambassador to him. and he tells us more about how saturday strikes and yemen are linked to the us air strikes in iraq and syria. they are linked in the sense that they are responses to iranian and access a resistance that brings these various um, uh, non state actors together and a, uh, it is an integrated uh, policy initiative. uh, but uh, but uh the us and had given also are looking at the uh, the safe passage of international shipping of the red sea in the bottom. and uh uh, and that gives us a somewhat different uh, reason for striking the suit the targets. let's get it checked now. so the other story is making news around the world. and truly at least $46.00 people have died

and more than $1100.00 homes have been destroyed in wildfires and densely populated areas. the deadly as fires occurred in the vault part eastern region. the fires are being driven by a summer heat wave and drought influence by the el nino, whether phenomenon. northern irish lawmakers have appointed an irish nationalist 1st minister for the 1st time. miss shallow niels, this insane party seeks to unite northern ireland, which is a new k territory with the republic of ireland. o'neil's appointment comes as the northern ireland assembly resumes this work after a 2 year void caused by the pro british democratic union. his party, a number of tens of thousands of people have rallied against far right extremism across germany, around 150000 in the capital berlin alone. the mass protest against racism and xena phobia had been going on for weeks after members of the far right alternative for

germany party were accused of planning mass bayport stations. now media has announced the death of its president, having gone, gone, was 82 years old and had been in office since 2015. it was recently announced that he was receiving treatment for cancer. he died at the hospital in the capital window in the early hours of sunday. thousands of his railings have rallied in tel aviv and what have become weekly anti government protest. they're demanding the resignation of prime minister benjamin atanya, who over the handling of the war against thomas in gauze on dozens of his really hostages, kidnapped. and the attacks on october 7th are still being held captive in gaza as well as the fighting goes on and gaza. so to do a 1st to halt the nearly 4 month for him, come off now says israel and international mediators have made it a tentative truth to offer bond to the militant group, which is considered

a terrorist organization. by most western states says it's still reviewing the details. hundreds of 10 crammed together and rough. uh huh. again, with egypt, this is probably the safest place for people to southern most garza to escape the fighting and bombing elsewhere. it's estimated this hub of the population of casa, is now in the area. but these ran, the army, is still attacking targets in the city. charles was how much strong health services, se 14 people were killed, and one attack in rough or on such as a willing this out of hello, that's healthy for legal homes. go to the zones considered safe. but at the end, whatever people go, they get moment why, who knows who goes just revenge. they just want to bring destruction to people. that's all the shipping to the motive. and you can see the huge destruction in this area and they shows it as right. and what was the cause of all the neighboring

houses were affected with demand route that has, that might be meanwhile, international attempts to negotiate to cease fire between hamas and israel. continue i'm also concerned that it has received a proposal from israel, of the us, egypt, and cut off. it said it needed more time for decision that fiddle see any. but there's no deem yet. and his rarely defense minister you, i've got on says, is john forces with also eventually advanced into rough or something. israel's allies have strongly warned against german for administer under the not the book said, a military operation against offer would not be justifiable as expected. you as president joe biden has won the democratic primary in south carolina by a landslide. observers are still keeping a close watch on the turn out of the selection. biden's approval ratings are low at the moment and this vote will be a t test of support,

especially among black voters as he faces a re election battle with his likely challenger. donald trump. jason cambodia is los angeles bureau chief for nbc news, and we asked him what the last line when in south carolina means for jo biden's re election campaign. it's going to give it a shot in the arm. it really is gonna boost a lot of the campaign, maneuverability throughout the rest of the context here. it's kind of give him some numbers that he can tout, especially being in south carolina and much more diverse population there. uh then iowa, which is much more white, much more affluent, and then the south carolina. uh uh, demographic. so he'll be able to take those numbers and use them throughout the country as the primary start taking up and taking a long. he's actually in los angeles this weekend, going to

a few fundraisers to boost, you know, those numbers as well. so it really is a massive when for the bite in administration today. and it really is a boost for the democratic party because now that they're, they're starting to see bite in um, actually when some actual contests, this will give them much more direction in the long run. so will we be looking at a repeat of 2028th and u. s. presidential elections later this year? and how would joe biden fare this time around against donald trump? definitely is. janelle do milan looks at the reason highs and lows of buttons, leadership and assess is what tools the republicans might use to try to feed him. or there's a word that appear to have dropped out of president joe biden. speech is something he's to say. all the time, 5 nomics is just another way of saying the american dream binding on the idea

that biden studied an economy thrown off balance by the pandemic. and that big on the future with a non vicious infrastructure program. but it's so for gained little traction with voters, one just released poll shows less than 40 percent of surveyed voters approve of the president's economic record and of his overall performance. and those are just some of the national issues of what some of his foreign policy choices are threatening his standing at home. he's on wavering support of israel's war against moss, and the more than 27000 palestinians killed in the campaign is hurting his image, especially among young voters and providing ammunition to his political enemies. but what donald trump will try to do is to try to create a narrative. the joe biden is out of touch and doesn't understand the complexities of the middle, the situation, and is therefore incapable of serving as commander in chief. and his biggest diplomatic achievement, leading international support for ukraine's defense against russia has had

a wall house. republican lawmakers have blocked, efforts to get fresh funding for, keep demanding stricter controls for immigration via the u. s. southern border would have thus far projected any deal for his part bite and is hoping to use the lack of cooperation from republicans as a campaign point, saying that nothing can get done here or abroad. if folders don't vote. democrats, you will have jo by now. they're saying we have a do, nothing, congress. i tried to get everything i could out of them. send me back, but send me back with some democrats so i can get some things done. but the heart of his pitch to the american people is a reminder of the perils associated with bringing donald trump back to the white house. here, not america, not you. donald trump campaign is obsessed with the past. not the future is willing to sacrifice our tomorrow. what is the power to our

$10000000.00 question is whether that message will resonate. joe biden has several more months in which anything can happen to make his case to voters thus far. they haven't been easy to convince. dozens of wives of russian soldiers fighting in ukraine have protested in central moscow calling for the return of their husbands. from the front police detained about 20 reporters most were later released from bonds. these women have been calling for their husbands to be pro, aside from the fighting in ukraine, writing a fine line. it's indefinite tools of duty there, protesting, but no, the war itself getting dangerous of my thought media and of my child. my daughter has the right to be raised in a complete family and has the right to be rates by her father. oh, here we are. precisely those women who need their husbands a life at all costs,

that's on the plan. and how long do you plan to come here? this one pay lower minute home. and you said what is your actions come under pressure or there is push back. if the situation changes how we react to this. great evening. that i wanted to bring flowers. remember, we have to fall in searches. i want to mobilize to come home, where a family with many children. my husband is there when you bring in front and we need him personally with strong public sentiments behind the peyton government. let the protests of these military wives go under the radar until today, when police crack down notes on the women themselves, but on the media for covering it with the russian presidential election coming up

in march. authorities appears set on stuffing the wives of stories from continuing to reach the russian public. you're up to date on the w news, a marion, and a statement call me back at the top of the hour with more headlines for you. for me and the entire news team, thanks for watching the the mountain is increasing every so many gone up watching on black silver stars. the only work that is holiday destination drowning in plastic white at the cost
