who you talk to. it's either a day of celebration or 11 cation the . i, melissa chance, thanks for joining us. israel says it's fighter jets have struck several who feet rebel military targets in yemen, in retaliation for a drone attack on tel aviv on friday. the strikes took place in humans, red sea port, city of ho data. according to how many television control by rebels, several people were killed and the jets targeted civilian oil and diesel storage facilities. the strikes come after humans who the rebels killed one person and injured for others in that drone attack on tell a b that's cost over to our correspondent tanya kramer, in jerusalem. tanya, what more do we know as well as you said, the,

you know, from the army, they confirmed that they struck the who data port in gym and in the course of the day. and the idea of official said that the target where, who the military dual use as they described it and energy infrastructure. now they also said that the is really as well as carried out this mission alone, a many 1000 kilometers weigh in a permanency broad daylight and be have more and more reactions know also here from the defense minister, you've got them, but also from prime minister benjamin netanyahu saying that they will defend is rather do anything to protect the citizens. and this comes after there was some sort of crossing red line of what we're hearing here from officials after the drone attack on friday, in the center of tel aviv, where a man in his fifties was killed by a trone attack and

a several where injured no up until now the who these have a talk to is read miss over to one is in 20 project, tell us the army has said, but we also hearing now the time has come, that they will be response that the time of a restraint is over. as for, for here, here, from officials, so you talk about restraint being over across from the red line. how dangerous are these moves? are we looking at escalation? that's what i think it's too early to tell the truly, this concern that this could open another of what's called him the active uh front . uh that's at least uh what is there any media reports here. uh, suggesting who c or officials also have threatened you heard it from the military's folks person there that have been suggesting that they will retaliate. what they say would be also a civilian targets, as they say the port of was

a civilian targets. and as people are just saying it's could open another front, although is rojas being attacked by the who sees uh before, mainly in the southern city of a lot. and also we have seen a lot of attacks on our shipping on the maritime, according to it. and vessels uh, but this was usually pushed back by uh, u. s. and u. k. let mission. since the beginning of the year. so far, the military has said they have not changed the home fund guidelines for citizens, but they also said that this could change at any time. tanya kramer, thank you very much to the united states now where president joe biden is resisting, going called a band. it his re election bid is bound to return to the campaign trail next week. biden is currently isolating at his beach house in the state of delaware after testing positive for coping. 19,

his doctor says his condition is improving. the president is under increasing pressure with many senior democrats, worried that he cannot beat donald trump in november. more than 30 congressional democrats have now called for him to drop out. earlier i asked ethan beer, man, a political commentator and professor at loyola law school in los angeles, where he makes of bite and determination to return to the campaign trail. well, i think at this point, what that means is that he has not decided to drop out or to acquiesce, or possibly that they have not delivered to him a viable plan. should he drop out. daniel joe biden does strategize and planning as great advisors around him. so he has to contemplate what the consequences are if he were to step down, if he's even willing to step down. but these calls do continue to grow and they are growing louder, which is upsetting. many people. ready in the democratic party base who strongly

support support president. but now for many democrats of vice president campbell harris has risen to the top of the list of possible replacements. who else is on that list? and who are they? especially for our viewers were mostly not from united states. right, well tamela harris is clearly the front one or she is from california as well. she is the sitting vice president. that would be the natural replacement for president joe biden. i think the top 2 candidates, if there are talk to after calmly, harris would be governor gretchen whitmore of michigan. she survived and attempted kidnapping um by some radicals, a few years back around 2020 election. she's been a, a loud, pragmatic voice in the democratic party. who is a strong leader, and i think that actually who is probably in the lead, if it's not tomlin harris and possibly even if it is calmer,

harris is sitting california governor galvan, newsome. he has taken it straight on to the republicans. he debated governor round the santas, mago republican from florida on fox news and, and handle that extremely well. he's been advertising nationally and he is a well regarded leader in the democratic party as well. uh, regardless of who they pick, they need to make a decision fast. don't say whether they stick with buying or um they look for another replacement. yeah, the, so the democratic convention is coming up here in chicago, around august 19th, i believe is when it starts and they need to have this settled before then there are people calling for this to be settled out the convention in a historically traditional way where they would argue this out there, however, in light of knowing that the republicans will likely file lawsuits to try and block

any replacement of joe biden on ballots. this needs to be done post haste in order to get a replacement ready. now, up. well, the democrats are sort of in fighting. this is playing right into the hands of republicans, right? oh, absolutely. there's nobody who benefits more from this democratic game fighting than the republican party, which is really the trump party nowadays. so it's donald trump and jamie vance. in all of the contested seats, people forget that this year there are significant, important senate seats up for election and what's called the house of representatives. here in the united states gets re elected every 2 years. those electrons. busy so happening in november, so this won't just benefit the top of the republican party ticket being trumping vans. but it also potentially benefits all of these other races, which are very important for the governance here in the united states as

environment. thank you so much for joining us. thanks melissa. today, cypress is marking 50 years since it was split into. in 1974, a turkish troops invaded the mediterranean island after greece staged a brief code 5 days earlier to separates in the north a few days anniversary as a liberation from the greek speaking majority. well, greek cypriots in the south do the date as a catastrophe. that led to mass displacement it's 5 30 am and people in nicosia wake up to the sound of sirens mountain, exactly 50 years since the start of the circus invasion, which divided them into 2 reigning island. some who joined the greek cypriot president at the end veiling, i'll be more than you meant for soldiers killed in the conflict. so many people in the south. 1974, much the beginning of the catastrophe. you must. the law were here today as we

are every year doing yeah, many times to on are all these young man who gave their life for the freedom of our cyprus. yeah. the city and this give promises it's. it's a different picture in the north of the island. many to just see periods believed. invasion brought them freedom from the greek speaking, the majority, military parade was stage. they have for the territories leaders and took as president read ship, the air, the one uses it. we still do when we came to the year, 1974. the in the humane attacks that targeted the existence of attack is cypriots, had reached a peak palm, exactly 50 years ago. today, the rubbing to catch me that tree took a historic step to rip out the deck of it was trying to stop the independence of the turkish cypriot. the other 100 like 151974,

the military june 2 nonsense stage. the crew seeking to unite cyprus with greece 5 days later took his soldiers land in the northern coast, eventually occupying a 3rd of the island. a ceasefire was reached with un peacekeepers controlling the buffer zone, the drums through the island and its capital. 9 years later, the turkish republic of northern cypress declared independence, but it's only recognized by turkey, while the republic of cyprus in the south became and you member in 2004. despite numerous attempts to unite the island, nicosia remains the world's less divided capital. and the backend powers of greece and turkey are also sleep. on the way forward. i ask the w correspondence, sophia clift, hockey and athens, how this date is being marked in cyprus as well. um the state is

a black and versity. this is how it is known. andrews remembered with, with grease and with the sadness and the celebrations for the 50th anniversary. all the invasion day began early in the morning, the garcia continuing throughout the day until the late afternoon. and of course not to forget it as a day, as a reminder of the impact of the invasion and of the fact that cyprus is still divided. so the parades and celebrations from the turkish cypriot side are highly perceived as provocative in greece, cypress as president and the coast chris to delete it, says that the we and if occasion is the only path forward a turkish president, red chip type, or the one doesn't agree, what can we expect between the 2 sides moving forward on the 1st of all, let's mention here that the presence of the greek prime minister could yet cuz me

to back these in cyprus, today is a very important statement on its own as a, just the 1st time that a great prime minister is present at the main on the occupation event. in his speech, we took back his address not only that grieves will commit to the unification, will continue to fight until it will reach the goal is effect is addressed. also, the you and the international community, mentioning that it's a responsibility and that it shouldn't be tolerated at cypress belongs to the european union. so what we can expect and then the future is the re launching off the dialogue. and of course pressure on european level. we have the statement of over the funding line today mentioning that the cypriot issue is a repeat an issue. and of course we can expect in september the u. n. in new york

that there stood more pressure, especially on the, took her side to relaunching the dialogue and to find common ground to try to find common ground. as we heard, and a report, a un peacekeeping mission is still in cyprus. how successful has it been in managing the tensions as well? um, the mission of the peacekeeping has been successful when it comes to um, managing the buses zone regarding the humanitarian work, and preventing the violent conflict of further binding conflicts between the church of cypriot and the greek cypriots. however, when it comes to the ignition and the ultimate goal to find a solution, then we have to remember that it cannot replace the need to find an agreement. and this is still the issue, so it's open until 5 decades. now. sophia clift, hockey and athens,
