hunted down for the west. storm in almost a decade, the advantage bounded, you're welcome us both and joe biden gave a red oval office address last night to explain to the american people why he stepped aside for combat harris in the presidential election race. he declared, and i quote, nothing, nothing can come in the way of saving democracy. encore, the address of the nation came off to weeks of pressure and questions over his capacity to run again for the presidency. yes, some more of what do you have to say to review this office? i love my country more spend the honor of my life to serve as your presence. but in the defense of democracy, which is a stake, i think is more important than

a title. i draw strength, i find joy working for an american people. but this sacred task for affecting our union. it's not about me. it's about you, your families, your futures. it's about we, the people, you know, racial weeks has become clear to me. i need your 9 my party in this critical endeavor. i believe i recognize presence by leadership in the world. i vision for america's future. all married and the 2nd term nothing. nothing can come in the way of saving our democracy. that includes personal ambition. so i've decided the best way for it is a pass the tours from new generation as the best way to unite our nation

basketball from brandon von, he is an analyst with the your program at the bath is mon shift on where he focuses on international relations with the united states. brandon? good morning. what the president biden wants to do with this speech? well, 1st, i believe it was an historic speech for an historic moment. i was, while watching it, i was reminded as one in b. johnson's 1968 speech. when he decided not to run pre election and missed the term level of the years, i think the buttons names were multiple. i think of the one hand he used to to reflect to cement his administration's legacy. he highlighted a number of domestic and foreign policy achievements to be also used it to outline his goals for the rest of his term as president. he used it, of course, also to justify the that this justify his decision not to run for you for re election with a look to come with harris. but i think as you, as you heard in the cliff just before he used it to communicate

a warning to the american public adjuster, a warning from his perspective about the future of democracy. he said this november, americans will go to the polls and make decisions that will impact not only the united states, but the world for decades to come. you said at one point america without saying the names, america is no place for kings. and echoing the word, benjamin franklin, he said, you know, america is a republic, but it is in the americans hands to determine this november if they can keep it. but they've been said much about his potential success. a comm law had his duty. i know he didn't, but i think this speech was for a far greater moments in the 2020 for us presidential election at the end of the day. this wasn't a campaign speech, it was a speech about the future of american democracy. so i don't think the moment really called for it. he talked about, you know, his intention to you in his, from his perspective, to unite the american public bypassing the torch to the next generation. at which

time he did talk about complet harris and her abilities and in his intention to support her in this election. but at the end of the day, this was a speech about american democracy, not a campaign speech. he also said, you know, you might not have said her name a lot, but a lot of what he was saying was indirectly tied to her campaign. mean, in some ways, this was a noble ization effort, a novelization effort to communicate the importance of voting to americans leading into the november election this year with a look to all the challenges that the united states is facing. can i just ask about coming to, how does says a campaign, because it did bring about a, bring up the aspect of the campaign coming to hers, and how connection to joe biden, as his vice president is undeniable? will that hot or have tomlin harris going into the november election? and again, i think the speech was, was an historic one that will help her campaign. i think it helped to calm the

waters to a certain extent in the american people deserve the speech. but at the end of the day, the, the heavy lifting falls and comma harris falls on her team and falls on the democratic party. i think in an ideal world, the speech would have probably actually happened on sunday evening headed by the not been sick with cove. it just to reach a greater target audience and announce this, this, this landmark decision to build um, but at the end of the day that it becomes, the harris campaign is starting much later than they would like to. harris's popular new readings are not particularly high. there's, there's a lot of work to be done by the here's campaign. now that we're nearly 100 days before the november election, the 25 really but the for the moment, but thanks so much for joining us this morning. brenda. go on. the baptist mon foundation, thanks so much. thank you. take care. i. i understand that you were asked by his valued prime minister benjamin netanyahu has addressed enjoyed the session of congress. he promised to continue the war against thomas in gaza and called in the

united states to stand united with israel. in his speech, he also defended his country's conduct of the wall, which has left some $40000.00 palestinians dead as thousands of protest as gathered outside to demand an end to the conflict. first standing ovation by us lawmakers for his riley prime minister benjamin netanyahu. in his address to a joint session of congress. nothing. yeah. who defended his country's conduct in the fight against a mazda in gaza. and uh, for more us support. today is israel flights on the front line of civilization? i to appeal to america. give us the tools faster and we'll finish the job faster. not everyone has very come, nathan, yahoo! visit to washington. dozens of us lawmakers and blake ought to end up with a standing american congress woman. especially the lead sign in the expressed anger

over the number of the scene in skills in gaza outside the capital building. large number of testings gather to go on flooding and to the war and the who meditating crisis in gaza. a separate that has to offer classes between police and professors via free time. we're going to keep fighting once as more to stop. and we would like us of any more crimes to stop. it's a disgraceful that they invited him this 5 minutes. so those are not representatives around anymore. 70 percent of the population things you should resign is responsible for a lot of the issues is rarely is facing now and his government is completely incompetent and they're not able to handle the situation inside the house. dembo

hawks, nothing. yeah. who blasted the demonstrators while i have a message for these both testers. when the tyrants of to the wrong, who hadn't games for trains and murder, women for not covering their hair, appraising, promoting, and funding you, you have officially become your want useful idiots. this is nothing yellows 1st visit to the us since the october 7 attacked by a mazda one is right. and, and he's due to meet the president joe biden on thursday. a musket, most of them are kind of spawning tanya cream right in jerusalem talking. so because that has been a lot of criticism, even ahead of him traveling to washington with his critics, saying among them also, many relatives of the hostages that are still being held captive. and as well as saying he shouldn't go to washing and he should work on the deal. and at least if it goes to washing me, should denounce that a deal, a ceasefire. d a that would see the release of those remaining hostages would be

close. and this certainly doesn't happen now. we have of course, his die hard support is uh they have been saying and reaction to that that, you know, that highlighted the many standing ovations. and he got a for his speech where he struck a bi partisan tone at times, but also saying, you know, our enemies are your enemies to the americans. but at the same time, we just heard it also in the report and majority and most of the major polls that have been conducted in recent months and majority of as well as want him to resign . as prime minister over the thing is said, let booked over a 7 and then also one to see progress in uh this uh, hosted steel uh, hosted steel. but the speech didn't give any indication where this is at. and uh, you know, also disparaging uh, some of the protests, some of them uh, where relatives of hostages and support is from is spelled

a travelling there. so i don't think, you know, his critics will really appreciate what he did thing congress. these negotiations over to hospice dean are set to continue. so so how does that resume in doha, with this group have an influence on the outcome of those negotiations as well? this is still to say because some, what we understand and last sunday, the prime minister's office a set a this week, there will be a delegation leaving on thursday today to do how to continue those talks. this as far as your understand tip has been a postponed because 1st today you guys, presidential barton and prime minister benjamin netanyahu. we'll meet in a washington suit. a lot of eyes on this. a meeting was expected that those are talking us about a, the, a, the ceasefire deal. you know, that is the thing, the official is that the main framework has been agreed upon. but there are many,

many details that we made and gets remain open. so for the moment we don't know exactly where those negotiations stand above the meeting between president biden and a prime minister. netanyahu or vice president from the habits is also expected to be that there today, by them, did not invite netanyahu to washington. he was at the request of congressional republicans, is that likely to be a tense meeting as well? i mean, it will be interesting to see those lead as a meeting in this context right now because both have all the strange relations that doesn't say to button is a very strong support. a. his support for is rather also during war time is iron got and we have heard a niche in yahoo trying to make an over to, to bite and is thanking him for his efforts a for a is or a. but he also sang to a former president of donald trump for or what he has done for is rather than be

expecting those both lead us to talk about a several issues among them. be heard this probably from this very side if i'm missing it in young, we said that she, once a you know more on the shipment, a foster and more supply. we could think that the americans would rather talk about humanitarian aid to gaza. also obviously about the hostage to you and it was conduct of more and that comes often and that's when you all set in his speech to congress yesterday. he claimed basically that there were almost no civilian casualties in the offensive in of off. so i think both have lots to talk about, but again, it's also to see what leverage joe biden has and now that he's dropping out of the presidential race, you know, how much pressure he will excerpts on up. and you mean that on yahoo, we leave it there for the moment. do the most time there frame. i enjoy those of them. thanks so much. i quick about some of the stories making news around the

world. australia says that a sanctioning 7 east very step lives in the occupied west bank because of that involvement in violent attacks against palestinians. australian prime minister anthony has been easy. se supplements in the west bank on an impediment to a 2 state solution. the e u and the us have already sanctioned some east valley, such as low. the 733000000 people around the world are still facing chronic, hung up with no improvement since the previous. yeah, that's according to the latest annual default from the us food and agriculture agency. this amounts to one in every level and people involved with africa being watched effective by fires, have had counted as british columbia. and as beth provinces, a thought of these have ordered evacuations. the flames that are also threatening the popular just a national park and alberta with around 600 fires already recorded in the region. then i want to use that canada, i could see another routine wide fire season like last year because

i'm breaking news now. germany's frankfurt apple, it has temporarily suspended slides due to a climate protest. several activists reportedly broke through defense overnight and glued themselves to the thomas police said they're working to clear out the area. the group, last generation, post of photos are for protest or an ex assigned reading or in the cues that's across of an outer frank for the airport by john was dining and called is standing by danielle. what's the situation there now? oh, okay, so i talked to apaloosa authorities uh, just a few minutes ago they confirmed that uh, the runways have been open to again, but i guess it's uh, pretty clear there is going to be uh, you know, massive consequences for travelers. we are here at the departure area of frankfurt international area, and that's, let me just give you a quick idea of how the situation is unfolding here right now. this is usually

a tech in childcare, but all these counters at the moment are used for re booking. so all these passengers, they are waiting right now to be re booked on a flight. i do have the opportunity to talk to an italian passenger who is desperately trying to catch a flight to rome this morning. describe me a little bit your situation. how is it going? how long have you been waiting? what is the airport staff telling you? uh well i just got a year at uh, 8 o'clock this morning. i received the message, you my phone, the that to my fight is being themselves. so the problem is now the flight to go into rome uh, being fully booked. so i am working with the, with my company trying to figure it out if they can sort of something for me and uh, i would say i be, are stranded here at the moment. tell us a little bit. do you have kind of like, is there some understanding from your side for this kind of actions or if there's just way too much? uh well uh that same as an engineer, it doesn't make sense, but we're going to say,

uh, let's do like that and some sort of frustration definitely on your side. thank you very much for talking to us so far the information we have gotten it at least a 140 planes has been canceled this morning. many planes were actually already on route your friend for the app or to head to the verge. last minute to other airports here in germany, such as stood guard cologne barn and also just to the off. and we can expect they're going to be lots of delays throughout the day. maybe even thing happening maybe even happening tomorrow. do we know more about who these protesters are? uh and uh, what's the demands off? well, these were 6 young individuals. we saw posts of them on twitter, x this morning. and they're basically demanding that there needs to be a rethinking in the, you know, today's environment and political situation in germany. and also in europe we have

seen similar pro tests happening actually just yesterday, there was another action of these. the active is happening at a smaller airport here in germany at cologne airport. we have to assume other situations yesterday, but of course the consequences for travelers here are much more difficult because this is just the biggest airport here in germany. we have also seen similar approaches happening in major cities in germany where protesters, uh, you know, where doing road located. and i do feel that the understanding of these here in germany. but i think we can also talk for other european countries that there is basically no more understanding. and it's actually quite interesting. these activists have told in the past that they want to rethink their protests because they were feeling and they were also getting all these negative feedback from the population. but now we have this action happening yesterday, another protest,

another of this action happening today. so there's massive prostration, and we also heard from the police from the federal police here in germany, that during the next days they will be much more controlled, much more tight and security at the air force in order to make sure that this is not going to happen in the next phase. again, you didn't mentioned these road blocks, but these protest as well, getting out in other cities now you're seeing damage sticking themselves to the airport. tom, i agree with this a shift in strategy and if so, what does this mean for other airports in germany? is what i, what do you call it? there's that, there's a so change of this strategy because i remember last year i was covering this, well, it was happening at one of the other big airports in germany in munich, and also in hamburg. this is the 1st time it's happening here in the frankfurt, but yes, police will be very, very aware that this might happen in the next days again. and for that they have

announced that security will be very, very high in the coming days. we'll leave it there for the moment. john is dining out of call in frank rep. thanks so much. i, i mean by the stifling guy may have swept to taiwan gallagher for these 2 people and injuring hundreds more. it is the strongest storm to hit the island and a decade. guy may, is expected to hit eastern china a later than thursday. it is in the storms falls off. preparing for line for mean by rescue was in taiwan. i stood working to save more. people from the resulting floods, with gusts well over 200 kilometers an hour. typhoid came a turned off, tie one, eastern coast, gathering strength. the storm took its 1st victim and tie one before it even made landfill. a motorist crushed by a falling tree. international travellers scrambled to leave the island rushing to
