the the, this is the, the, the news coming to live from berlin. as trish talks for guys a continue us vice president campbell of harris pumps. the pressure on israel to fact. there must be an immediate faith fire uses is really forces step up operations in southern gods. also coming up, the us supreme court expect it to rule on whether donald trump can appear on the state pallets is just one part of the legal trouble facing the republican presidential front runner. plus germany blames or kremlin information war for the leak of a secret conversation among german generals. there were discussing supplying credit

ukraine with german cruise missiles. indeed, nobody knew speaks to congo these people who were born during the war. one, they're still trying to escape from today. the hello, i'm terry martin. thanks for joining us. 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 the terraces hosting bennett guns on monday, a member of israel's more time cabinet, and the political arrival of president benjamin netanyahu. guns will also be meeting with other senior us officials, including the white house and national security advisor, jake sullivan. let's listen to what harris had say about the ceasefire gossip.

and given in the immense scale of suffering in gaza, there must be an immediate cease fire. the select which is what is currently on the table. this will get the hostages out and get a significant amount of a or middle east at all is shawny resigned as joins be now in the studio for more on this story. shortly we've heard some of the strongest language yet from comma, la harris, the strongest language, yet from an in a top us official concerning is real regarding the cause of war is the us distancing itself from israel's does a policy to a certain degree. i mean, 1st of all going to see the difference between harris and barden. i mean, she's may be paying good cop bad cop in a sense of bite and is far more cautious with what he is letting himself say that

we know that in a back channels we hear constant 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 a 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. try 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 is already there. he writes as a oh okay, yes. meeting was couple of harris today 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. the best point correctly said he's technically he's boss, but he's also his biggest political opponent and arrival. and if you 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 for 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. we swing these 2 as they are political arrive going isn't the always seems to be weaker and weaker in the 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, by the, in the ministration chang try to maybe signal to the is relays. 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 of and you always very much, you know, and disapproving of, and we've got to remember this war started at the backdrop of very, very strong relationships already between washington and jerusalem. the support the bye and gave was a bit of a break out of that. but what we're seeing 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. now 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 us in 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? we also share this morning reports from the wall street journal, but some officials and homos say it's probably not going to happen so soon. 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. there was honestly nobody's middle east s u. s. supreme court is expected to rule shortly on whether donald trump can appear on the ballot and the colorado state primary color on a boat is one of 16 being held on tuesday to help decide the republican and democratic party nominee use for the presidency. trump also faces a series of other trials that could affect his chances of

a 2nd. whitehouse term one former president for criminal cases was a total of 90. 1 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 faces a federal election interference trial, a business fraud case in new york. a federal case about trumps holding on 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. the seat of american democracy,

or described in the indictments. 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 judgement. the new york state attorney general's case against trump 34 charges of filing false business records. that's based on payments. he made and allegedly miss reported to a point, a graphic film after a stormy daniels before the 2016 election, allegedly to buy 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 state he lost the case has been thrown into turmoil. however, my revelations, i'm in the legend romantic affair between the lead prosecutors and trumps 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. 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 reported. william blue cross is following the story for us. i asked him whether the us supreme court is likely to issue a ruling today on trump's eligibility to hold office. right. we just heard from that fantastic wraps 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 ballad 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 notify not only colorado,

but any other efforts around the country, that 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 going forward on to the general ballot in the, in the general election going forward. so you'd 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 to her arrival, donald trump and all other votes. so far, d. c is one of the most democratic leading jurisdictions in the country. according to russian news agency tass, a railway bridge near the russian city of samarra, has been rocked by an explosive device. russia has in recent months, reported a series of attacks on this infrastructure which blamed on ukraine. no casualties have been reported, but traffic over the bridge has been suspended. this german trade union,

vanity has called for ground stuff of loose tons the airlines to strike on thursday . and friday of this week, that is seeking pay rises of a minimum of $500.00 euros a month of time. so it has offered pay increases over an extended period, but not enough to meet the union's demands. a space ex falcon rocket has launched for us to know its interest toward the international space station. the mission was launched from can na, says kennedy space that are on sunday. they will oversee the arrivals of 2 other capsules during their half year stint. upon their arrival, the crew will take over duties from the crew that's already there. russia's foreign ministry has summoned the german of bassett or to moscow after the publication of an audio recording of which senior german military officials discussed weapons for ukraine. the invoice arrived at the ministry in moscow declining to answer the

questions of russian journalists in the recording, published by russian state broadcast or r t on friday. german officials discuss the potential use of german made long range taurus, missiles to attack the courage, bridge it occupied crimea, germany's defense minister boers. the story is accused russia of conducting and information war aimed at the stabilize in germany. tickets, i'm boy, this is clearly about undermining our unity because it's about splitting our domestic politics a part time. and i very much hope that putin doesn't manage that link. does that we remain united despite any disagreements over the tourist issue and all the questions that need to be answered? in the end, it's crucial that we remain united and not allow ourselves to be divided by putin. that's exactly what he wants, and we need to stand united against that. i spoke about this a short while ago with our chief political editor, mckayla custom. i asked her how it was possible that the russians were able to

record a highly sensitive conversation between german generals. we don't know yet about an opposition and politician is cited as suspecting that somebody was potentially able to dial into what was the video conference, a webex conference, and potentially be able to record this. but we do not know this for now. this is 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 smith. so we just saw in that clip vowing as 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 rest inside been able to record it so far?

and will this also come out at a strategic point in time? because for us. but stories is alleging that this amounts to a hybrid wolf at a particularly because this week came on the day that the full, my, why a cod executive, a was alleged of being or basically exposed of being a russian spy. and what we're seeing is a potentially 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 drum and bass of the has been summons by the russian foreign ministry in moscow. so we can expect that there is also now a diplomatic fall out between germany and russia from this to the w as chief political editor, and make that a coast now them now to the democratic republic of congo, where president felix to see cut. katy has agreed to meet his rewan and counterpart

hall to guide me for talks. the d r. c has previously accused rwanda of supporting the m $23.00 rebel group, which is waging an insurgency in the east of the country. rolanda denies these allegations, the latest fighting between the rebels and the new york, the army broke out around the regions main city of goma in the neighboring towns of socrates session and where amount of hundreds of thousands of people have fled to fighting for goma in the hope of finding food, water and shelter. when claudine arrived with a 2 children of discount on the outskirts of goma, she failed to leave. 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. despite claudine being

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 hel, i loved ones. i saw them killed my friend. we were on our way to my saucy, 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 humanitarian crises in the area. with the rebels gaining more and more ground inland, becomes further east of buckling under the pressure and the advance mix floating, fearful that it's only a matter of time before the conflict catches up with her. you know, 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 contessa, the focus is on diplomacy of to previously accusing rundle backing up 23 rebels. kimberly's president felix just security has extended un only branch saying he's now open to meeting the rundown counterpart to gandhi has consistency denied 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 reality. you see that it guy you see here in the come every day there are 6 deaths for either because of the war like is the or from and such. but do you want the congolese people to keep dying? is to really critical would be some die on the battlefield or some die because they have nowhere to sleep. i'm sick, you may, others are dying because they're in becomes, you know, but they're flame therapy because they're afraid of me to ask you to about it. but here to those, all, it's the same thing. the most base you'll see. so the presidential so you in studies ation mission, one new school admits that the dsp crisis 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 protection. of cvn at the heart of its mondays. it's greg your departure would certainly have an impact on you. many tell you on the variations is pennsylvania terminal boxes for those into come. 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 to retreat. meaning one thing for claudine and have family things could get even with here. earlier i spoke to journalists, but to be shown in goma, she told me why the congolese president is discussing the insurgencies and these congo with his rwandan counterpart right now. as you're watching the speakers in late january. she's the kids you said were dogs to switch president or pick a male friend. so had you been saved that know diana would take place, which i grace or

a port run the as long as it's up to pay support those come but to return each. so what has changed now when really you sick, he is under an increase pressure because this fighting near go mad, the capstone of those people of fighting that has intensified in the last few weeks and durable. so i'll know only about 20 kilometers from go miles d t up to 1000000 people. so the threatened to take control of the c t, but the also a blocking the main supply road to the city. so that's putting pressure on the, on the economy of juicy. then another element is that recent us, the department code doesn't run that you immediately withdrawal or run the defense policies person and from d r. c a. that's a strong statement that is likely to put pressure on run and, and floor seats president maybe to do negotiation table. so

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, more of the see weakens even more the position of physics to security and his government. so bringing peace to the twice already. one of his promises 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. uh, felix 2 security has been invested for so long term. well, the, the, the company had upstate is undermined by d. incompatibility jeffries army to stop g m 23. and so

you recent your to before the last election, felix to security. it has play the an estimate of course, meaning the thousands of your own tears pulling that was so fetch rios, have responded to the president's court to fight against the m $23.00. so the consequence is that they are meant to ring guns know everywhere on the road, even among disobedience, indeed a contempt where, where people are sheltering and militia man on the page. so there were, so i q use of various human rights violations. and just briefly a patrice, you can you tell us whether the departure of un peacekeeping troops in congress will leave 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,

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 national 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 spells at china and that country's annual part of that meeting will take place is where you can base yang as a country faces multiple economic difficulties. nearly $3000.00 communist party delegates are gathering for china is highest profile political gathering, the national people's congress meeting layout, the government's blue policy blueprint for the year. ahead and will be closely watched for any signals on what the ruling communist party might do to re energize china's economy. this year the events will last 7 days. the w reporter,
