the, the business, the, the news life from berlin, joe biden vows to stay in the race for the white house. the us president goes on the offensive, attempting to reassure tom democrats. he is fit for re election. this as the white house denies reports, he's even considered dropping out. also coming out britons center left the labor party, a peer set for a landslide victory and thursday's parliamentary elections. after 14 years of conservative rule and hurricane barrel lashes, jamaica with spears,

winds and heavy rain. the record breaking storm is now on his way to the cayman islands where people are preparing for the work. the welcome to the program on the call fairly, or the white house says us president joe biden is not reconsidering his decision to run for another term. an office fine is under increasing pressure to step aside after his for performance and a head to head debate. and donald trump. last week, democrats have begun to openly express their concerns about biden's ability to do the job following a series of public symbols in recent months. well, here's a white house, both person carino appear at responding to a new york times report suggesting buying was way and not whether to continue as

one. what i can say is the president is moving forward. he's moving forward is being president. he's moving forward with his campaign as his campaign has been very, very clear about that. that's what i can, that's what i can speak to. and that's what i can say. and that is the president's focus. the president's focus is, how does he continue to do that? work and anything else that we're hearing or that's being reported is absolutely false. earlier i spoke to rachel rizzo, a non resident senior fellow at the atlanta council in washington, and i asked her if this really was dominating the political discourse in the us right now. well, i think, you know, it's, it happens in, in cycles, right? new cycles last for a few days and then something else takes it over. but this really has dominated headlines for coming up on a week now. and the hope is that he'll be able to talk to people on his campaign,

reassure them. this is what he did earlier today or yesterday he got on a call with folks on his campaign, letting him know that he is capable of doing this job. but he does not intend to step back. he how to call the democratic governors tonight. in fact, he might even be on that call. now i think it was such a start at $630.00 reassuring democratic governors around the country that he is fit and able to do this job. so it has some, what do you round it over the last week or so it's really taken over headlines. the hope is that, uh, that doesn't last too much longer, and he's able to break the ship from here on out here. but when trump is going to do whatever it takes to avoid that, if you focus in your research on the trans atlantic relationship and this issue is of course, also being closely followed in europe. how do you think america's allies feel about the possibility of finding dropping out of the race? look, i think anyone who watched that debate on thursday,

certainly america's allies, were probably a little bit nervous. but the fact is that biden, as he has said before, he tells the truth, he didn't tell it well last week. but nonetheless, he, he did, he did tell the truth, and that is one thing that i think set him apart from donald trump. his, his debate was sort of spewed with, with wise and false words. and um, you know, it's, it's sort of a difficult sell to allies across the pond that the, the trump presidency would be good for them. i think it's clear that it wouldn't. the good news is that we have the 75th anniversary nato summit coming up next week here in washington. it's going to be a massive stage of $32.00 leaders from nato countries. i think 37 world leaders and all so by and really has a chance, i think, to show the world the, the president that he is. and i sort of allocate concerns from,

from people in, in europe that might be nervous at this point in time. this is rachel rizzo from the atlantic council. thank you so much for all those insights. 6 and onto the u. k. now where voters are due to deliver a verdict on 14 years of government violence center, right, conservative party. all polls points to deep dissatisfaction with the current government under prime minister wishes to knock and predict a strong wind for cure stormers center left the labor party in thursday's parliamentary elections. it'll be as charlotte sales and pillow report to form a new government will be the mission of the government. i lead 5 prime ministry, 14 years of conservative government, and now the u. k. appears to be heading for change with the case dom is since the last labor policy on costs for a historic victory. well, we off now humbly is the opportunity to change our

country a put you back in the service of working people just 5 years ago when divorce johnson, the concept of policy, were unbeatable. but a series of scandals and criticism over its handling of coverage and the economy is seen as popularity plummet. it receives the next election campaign. plagues by missteps, hasn't helped something with that. now it's the question to choose. it's the prime minister, according the election in the pouring rain or risk going back to square one with no, i know, so it's due next policy is now 20 points behind stone. this latest policy, the sure it's called slave, is fighting to prove it has a credible plan and can be trusted with the economy and fewer excited biases lead to take a look at the polls and you will see a country that's hungry for change, but speak to people here on the streets and you'll find the moods actually pretty

bleak trust in politics is low and dissatisfaction running high, leaving many hed unconvinced that change will come. i don't think anyone's. got any real face. the, whichever policy comes in next is gonna make a massive impact. it's a matter of pleasing the best amongst a bad bunch. we're probably politics and the new guy has been pretty badly served ever since we made the bad decision for breaks it. i think looking so if i don't a lot of things wrong, i don't think they're going to i don't think a lot people are going to say give them the world is watching the reflection that foreign policy is known to the center of the find more friends with the difference between the main policies on issues like the cranes posts or the economy migration and health care of people's top consents. so you case facing a cost of living crisis, migration figures of hit record highs in recent years. and the health services
