9:00 am
the, the little i'm terry morris and weapons program us buys, present couple of harris has called for an immediate cease fire in gaza for at least the next 6 weeks. her comments are the strongest by us ministration official on israel since the war started. ferris is hosting the the guns on monday, a member of israel's more time cabinet, and a political arrival of president benjamin netanyahu. guns will also be meeting with other senior us specials, including the white house national security advisor, jake seller. and of course you who are you local are middle
9:01 am
east at all, a shiny resolved, as joins be now in the studio for more on the story. shortly we've heard some of the strongest language yet from comma, la harris, the strongest language, yet from an a top us official concerning is real regarding the cause of war is the us distancing itself from israel's cause a policy to a certain degree. i mean, 1st of all, going to see the difference between harris and barton. i mean she's, i may be paying good cop bad cop in a sense of bite and is far more cautious with what he's letting himself say that we know that in the back channels we hear concept reports about his dismay of these really a conduct. this is one thing and we know that the bite and administration a conduct with israel has been under a lot of scrutiny in the last uh, weeks growing scrutiny. i mean in the lot of a reason for comments also from within the democratic party. and harrison may be in
9:02 am
the ways, trying to sort of media mediate that in a, in a way, try to show. she has a strong, a stand on the point. tried to say, we're not, you know, we hear you. we hear the criticism. we've seen what happened in the michigan a vote for the democrats last week with, with great support of the american arabs. you know, that our opponents of the war saying we will not support a bite. and if this goes on, so the demo democratic establishment understand the needs to be something done and harris seems to be the person to be executing, it now says valued and is to tainted with his support to israel. so many guns, a senior member of israel's war cabinet is traveling to washington today to meet with these are all there. he writes, oh okay. yes, meeting was coming to her straight the a later today. correct. and he is there apparently without the express approval, without the authorization of his boss, benjamin netanyahu. how united is he is really government with west point correctly said he's technically he's boss,
9:03 am
but he's also his biggest political opponent and volts and is to look at the polls coming from israel. and the last weeks we see guns has unbelievable a support comparing, you know, he's going and support and nothing else. support is diminishing. and i think this is a, an unexpected would from move from gone to has been seen like the clean guy who is not playing. politics is not going behind an attorney, i was back and so for so for being very supportive of an attorney, i was official stand. but we understand there's a lot of friction, is that there's a lot of tension in the war cabinet was being these do as their political rivalry is growing, isn't the always seems to be weaker and weaker in polls. and it's mostly worth we're seeing with this message is a clear with this visit is a clear message by the american administration, by the byte, into ministration, saying, trying to maybe signal to the israelis, we find better allies within the is really political sphere that we can talk to we don't will be believing it to now, and that's, that's a and a message with,
9:04 am
and you always very much, you know, and disapproving of, and we gotta remember this work started at the backdrop of very, very strong relationships already between washington and jerusalem. the support that by and gave was a bit of a break out of that. but what we see now is basically back to the same circle of, of a lot of a city, a lot of mistrust between that and joe and his people and biden, and his administration. negotiators are meeting and tyro tro, hoping to hammer out some sort of deal for a cease fire and the release of hostages that are being held by um us and gaza but is real apparently is not even at the table. it at these talks. how can progress be made under these circumstances? yeah, it's no, it's a very tough negotiations. each side wants to seem that he's tougher than the other is real claims. there's no point in going back to cairo because what they asked for is to know the number of, out of the $130.00 plus people held in gaza. the one is, you know, the number of people that are still alive. how much refuses to give that number?
9:05 am
we also share this morning. we points from the wall street journal, but some officials and homos say it's probably not going to happen so soon as we don't need to rush from it. that is not a deadline for us. so we'll see, we'll be seeing a lot of back and forth. next phase. shelly, thank you very much. show me was honestly nobody's middle east that well us supreme court is expected real shortly on whether donald trump can appear on the ballot in the colorado state primary. colorado boat is one of 16 being held on tuesday to help decide the republican and democratic party nominated for the presidency. trump also faces a series of other trials that could effect is transmissible. second, whitehouse term one former president for criminal cases with a total of $91.00 charges, an unprecedented situation in american history. and depending on when these cases happen, a potential game changer in november's election. let's look at the cases. trump
9:06 am
faces a federal election interference trial, a business fraud case in new york. a federal case about trumps holding on the declassified documents and the state level election interference case in georgia. the federal election interference case is led by special council jack smith. it covers trumps efforts to stay in office after he lost the 2020 election, including his encouraging a crowd to march on the capital building the attack on our nation's capital. on january 6th, 2021 was an unprecedented assault, and the seat of american democracy is described in the indictment. it was fueled by lies. but the u. s. supreme court agreed to hear trump's case that since he was president at the time is immune from prosecution. it's on clear when they'll deliver a judgment to the new york state attorney generals case against trump. 34 charges
9:07 am
of filing false business records. that's based on payments he made and allegedly miss reported to point a graphic film after a stormy daniels before the 2016 election, allegedly to by her silence about an affair. trump has reacted as in each of the cases by attacking the prosecutors. the then there's the federal case claiming that trump took the classified national security documents with him when he left the white house. that case is scheduled to begin on may 20th, but the judge has so far been sympathetic to the trump legal team's efforts to delay the proceedings. then there's the state election interference case with 13 charges based on actions. trump talk to try to change the results in georgia. a
9:08 am
state he lost the case has been thrown into turmoil, however, by revelations of an alleged romantic affair between the lead, prosecutors and trump legal team as move to have them taken off the case trial could start in august. they're also separate efforts by legal scholars and activists to keep trump off the ballot in various states based on his actions after the election. but the supreme court has been skeptical of those claims. the big question is whether trump will be able to escape reckoning until after the election . if he wins. when he becomes president, he could instruct his justice department to drop the federal cases. would also be much harder for state prosecutors to convict him in office or has mentioned the us supreme court is considering a case about whether trump is actually eligible to hold office. i asked our corresponded william, blue cross, whether we can expect
9:09 am
a decision from the supreme court on that today. right, we just heard from that fantastic wrap that ralph gave us. there's just so many things coming at us right now and the trump defense team. we don't know for sure what's going to come out of the supreme court today. they just made an announcement that there will be something coming out. but speculation is quite strong. that is going to deal with this colorado ballot case. and we of course don't know how they're going to rule, but based on the initial proceedings and what court justices are on the record of saying, they seem pretty skeptical that colorado to keep trump off the ballot without any kind of conviction in the civil in the criminal court, so i should say that would basically, uh, notify not only colorado, but any other efforts around the country. we get, the supreme court will almost surely speak for the entire country, which means at least in that one particular way, trump would be safe and would be able to remain on the primary ballots. and then
9:10 am
going forward on to the general ballot in the, in the general election, going to a lower court has already ruled unanimously that trump is not immune from prosecution. why would the supreme court want to review the decision? so it's a great question because a lot of people are saying this is a done deal. a constitutional scholars, legal scholars across the board are almost all saying there's no way that a president has complete immunity. because that would make a president a dictator or a king, which is exactly what the united states was founded to avoid. so no one's really saying that there's any case, the trump, that trump is making or is defense team is making that makes any sense under us law or the united states constitution. nonetheless, this is a matter of national import. this is a, this is a and it's a matter of, it's never really been dealt with in this way before. so there are of course, nay sayers of a supreme court that say it's a conservative bench. several of the adjustments have been appointed by donald
9:11 am
trump himself. they want to take things in the favor of donald trump. but i think into english, there is some evidence to that claim. the more likely scenario is that the supreme court wants to weigh in on what they see as a massive legal matter for the united states. as a whole. mil trip is on track to clinch the republican parties. nomination is presidential candidate, but could he not end up being disqualified? williams? of course you could. this is, this is a race against time for both sides. now the defense team is, is doing their job defending their client, taking every advantage. they can just slow things down to make things go in dial tons favor as they should. they are his lawyers as he is facing crimes. and he is innocent until proven guilty. so they're doing their job and the courts are doing their jobs as well, by weighing the evidence by making decisions that they feel i prudent. now of course, we have parties on both sides who are saying it's in terms favorite words and forwards against him. as you like, none the less,
9:12 am
the if anyone is upset about the timeline here and how close this is coming to the election, it really is the us justice department. joe, by this justice department, could have pursued these cases, at least the ones at the federal level. they have jurisdiction over much sooner after the 2020 election when they came into power with joe biden. so the fact is, is it running us so close running down the clock against the election, which has a number of legal and ethical implications that really is on the us justice department, not the circuit court, not the lower court, and certainly not trump's team. that is really just doing their job defending donald trump their claim. williams, thank you so much, reported william blue cross. so here's a look at a few other stories making headlines around the world today. nikki haley has won the republican primary in the us district of columbia. it's the 1st win for haley who has lost his arrival. donald trump, in all other vote. so far easy is one of the most democratic leading jurisdictions
9:13 am
in the country. according to the russian news agency task, a railway bridge near the russian city of some r a has been rocked by an explosive device. russia has a recent months reported a series of attacks on this infrastructure, which it blame on ukraine. no casualties have been recorded, but traffic over the bridge has been suspended. its thousands of inmates fled haiti's main prison after arm gang storm facility. haiti is suffering from worse than in getting violence designed to remove prime minister audio only from power. he is currently abroad trying to gain support for un back security force to stabilize the country. in india, 3 man suspected of a gang rate for the spanish taurus of appeared in court. the woman was attacked on friday night in the eastern states of jack con. she and her husband had camp their police say they are on on the hunt for more suspects. the incident has caused an
9:14 am
outrage over women's security. our space ex falcon rocket has launched for asked or not so on their way to the international space station. the mission was launched from nasa as kennedy space center on sunday. the estimates will oversee the arrival of 2 other capsules during their half years. 10 to 4 upon the arrival of the crew will take over duties from the crew that is already there. german officials are demanding far reaching consequences for elite conversation about a possible attack. on a bridge linking russia, 2 occupied premier discussion between german generals was published by the russians state broadcast or r t. the officers discuss the potential use of german made long range. taras missiles, to attack the kerchief bridge, germany's defense minister boris, to story us as accuse russia of conducting and information war aimed at creating
9:15 am
divisions within germany. tickets, i'm boy, this is crazy about undermining our unity because it's about splitting our domestic politics a part of the time. and i very much hope that putin doesn't manage that to link does that we remain united despite any disagreements over the taurus issue and all the questions that need to be onset telephone. in the end, it's crucial that we remain united and not allow ourselves to be divided by pollutant. that's exactly what he wants, and we need to stand united against that. so while i go, i spoke about this with our chief political correspondent, kate acosta. i asked her how it was possible that the russians were able to record a highly sensitive conversation between german generals that we don't know yet. but a, an opposition and politician is cited as suspecting that somebody was potentially able to dial into what was a video conference, a web ex, conference, and potentially be able to record this. but we do not know this for now. this is
9:16 am
just a theory. and this is now seeing, particularly the off position is cool for an investigative committee of the german parliament. so we're seeing that this is already feeding into domestic politics. what we have seen as far as the story is the german defense minister we just saw in that clip, vowing a swift and so our investigation. we're expecting results on that this week. but the question of course, hanging in the air is, what else has the russ inside been able to record it so far? and will this also come out at a strategic point in time? because force disorders is alleging that this amounts to a hybrid wolf. that a particularly because this leak came on the day that the full, my, why a called executive a was alleged of being or basically exposed of being a russian spy. and what we're seeing is a potentially
9:17 am
a communicative counter measures. so you can tell from my wording that this is all still in the room of speculation, but what we're seeing from 4 to this morning by the russian agency task, is that the german ambassador has been summons by the russian foreign ministry in moscow. so we can expect that there is also now a diplomatic full out between germany and russia. from this, steve is chief political correspondent, the 4th editor, rather make a request of the democratic republic of congo, where president fit a jessy. katy has agreed to meet his rewan, encountered par polk academy for talks and go live, which is mediating between the 2 sciences. the aim is peace in eastern new york. there's been heavy fighting between the congolese army and the m. 23 rebels, which is again driving displacement and regional tensions. the archie and others have a curious rwanda of supporting the m 23 brussels. we're wanting to noise the allegations
9:18 am
. the arc these east is rich in resources from gold and diamonds to coal ton. but is there a now here's the situation could escalate further as united nations peacekeepers began withdrawing this week. the r c government says un forces have not done enough to protect civilians from armed groups and militias in the area. and they just fighting broke out close to the main city goma in the neighboring towns of soc, is shoshone, and where are among the hundreds of thousands of people headed for goma in the hope of finding food, water and shelter. when claudine arrived with the 2 children of discount on the outskirts of goma, she felt relief. but only briefly. she's one of the newest, internally displaced persons here. the un estimates of the fighting has driven 800000 people to seek refuge in this city alone. to despise claudine being
9:19 am
a fresh face that's come. the 20 year old is not a new tool. she was born into the conflict and it continues to rob her. her loved ones. i saw them killed my friend. we were on our way to massage and there was a lot of gunfire. that's when my friend got shot in the head, keith. so he, claudine is running from the m $23.00 rebels, whose resurgence in recent years has fueled violence and too many tavian crises in the area with the ripples gaining more and more round inland becomes further east of buckling under the pressure and the advance of exploding fearful that it's only a matter of time before the conflict catches up with her. even though i'm scared when i hear that m. 23 is getting closer, i feel that things are not ok in my body. in the capital kinshasa, the focus is on diplomacy. of to previously accusing rundle backing up tend to see rebels. companies president felix do security has extended un only branch saying he's now open to meeting the runs and counterpart to gandhi has consistency denied
9:20 am
any links to m. 23 talks between the 2 sides have failed. before a civil society, it's not optimistic that diplomacy can do much to change ria and you see that it guy you see here in the comes every day there are 6 deaths for either because of the war or like is the or famine such but do you want the congolese people to keep dying is really critical. would be sometime in the battlefield or some guy because they have nowhere to sleep. i think you may, others are dying because they're in the comes, you know, but yet they're fleeing therapy because they're afraid of me. to ask you to that it, but here to think it's the same thing. the most base you'll see the president because the so you in step in a zation mission one, the school admits the d. c cries, this is one of the most neglected in the world. the mission will leave the country by the end of the year and leaving most security questions open for this cause of
9:21 am
protection. and obviously the heart of it's monday. it's getting your departure would certainly have an impact on your money. tell you on a bare reasons, especially internal boxes, for those in the camp. the biggest challenge is a clear way out of the conflict either through diplomacy or military action. the empty tray rebels seem determined to take over more time between meaning. one thing for claudine and have family things could get even with here. earlier i spoke about this with journalist, but we chose to own in goma. she told me why the congolese present is discussing the insurgencies and these congo with his rwandan counterpart now. or you're watching these because the late january feelings she could use had more those tools with president will pick a male run that. so had you been said that no, diana would take place, which i grace or
9:22 am
a full run the as long as it's up to pay so far it does come good. terry to reach. so what has changed now? when do you think he is under an increase pressure because this fighting near go mad, the capstone of those people of fighting that has intensify in the last few weeks. and there are both, i'll know, on the about 20 kilometers from go miles the t up 2000000 people. so the threatened to take control of the c t, but the also um, blocking the main supply road to the city. so that's putting pressure on the, on the economy. oh, you see, then another element is that recent you do us, the department pulled doesn't run that. you immediately withdrawal or run the defense force these person on from new york. and that's a strong statement that is likely to put pressure on run and, and floor seats president maybe to the negotiation table. so
9:23 am
a lot of political pressure, diplomatic pressure. there's also a political instability in congo itself. it's the last election in december was marred by obligations. a boat rigging in the prime minister has step down. how is route is d r c's political instability affecting the conflict in the east of the country as well? the ongoing war of the sea weakens even more the position of felix to security and his government. so bringing peace to the west already. one of the is permits is when he was 1st elected as oswald, named as a president in 2019. so instead, well, the situation has gotten much worse, less than the months after of felix to think he has been infested for so long term . well the, the, the company is head up state is undermined by the incompatibility off his army to
9:24 am
stop g m 23. and so new recent to your, to before the last election, felix to security has play the an estimate of course, meaning that thousands of young belong to your calling to be said century i have responded to the president's court to fight against the m 23. so the consequence is that they are meant carrying guns know everywhere on the road, even among disobedience in g. a, if you can, where, where people are centering and militia man at the paid. so there were so i keys of various human rights violation. and just briefly, i patrice, you, can you tell us whether the departure of un peacekeeping troops in congo will leave the, the country more vulnerable briefly, if you can. well, yeah, probate be, i mean, no new york, he's looking for other park there. um,
9:25 am
they are troops small from so, so i forget and then yeah, and i, we but it seems very, very unlikely that those troops and the company's mission of the army will be able to, to ensure the security of the population and see begins after the departure of many school patricia, thank you very much for speaking with us. that was during the list, but need to, you know, and goma to finally echo doors. look cool up. ok. no, on the collab, it goes, archipelago has begun erupting. the government says it poses no immediate danger to human life because it's located on an uninhabited island. the lava however, could threaten some of the islands. unique animal species is the 3rd time ok, no has erupt. and since 2017. so you're watching dw news. just reminder of our top story, us vice president campbell of harris has called for an immediate cease fire in gaza . that would last for 6 weeks for demand for truce was the most outspoken yet by
