6:16 pm
really acknowledgment there about how absurd it seemed. when the u. s. government said that they couldn't make any definitive judgment about who killed shrink, and yet they decided it wasn't dumb. your own caucus, by the idea of was, was that contradiction discourse perhaps what we asked for them to retract, or to correct the statement of considering the fact that it lacked evidence at clack transparency. and until today, we were never aware of how the process went. and the secretary blink and he, he said he's committed to providing us transparency moving forward with any process that involves the case of shooting. or is there a timeline though, or are they going to furniture information as to exactly what role, but how did these investigations and whether they really went forensically over the evidence. so there was no timeline. we were not given a deadline as to when we would receive information. we will continue to ask for
6:17 pm
accountability tanf for you as lead investigation that is transparent and independent because that statement was not an investigation. we weren't the only ones who are not satisfied, but even us senators. and members of congress expressed that in a letter they sent out to the, to the present. so we are expecting an independent investigation and just as for, should ian. but finally, do you think they're taking this seriously, or is this now a public relations like so, i decided that not going to make these ready is uncomfortable in any way. am i just trying to get through this without? well, we are hoping that this is taken seriously. oh, we are hoping to see meaningful action and not just statements, but we want to see action. we want to see accountability. so we can prevent this from happening to other american palestinian citizens or palestinians in general. so shitty and was a her, she was
6:18 pm
a human being at the end of the day. so she needs to be protected. journalists have to be protected, and it's important for us that the u. s. administration takes this seriously. we also requested her to meet with the president since he did not meet with us when we were back in when we were back in palestine. and the meeting with the president would show us that the u. s. is taking this matter seriously. thousands of iraqis are protesting against what they say is corruption and mismanagement from the government. so these are live pictures of protest is out on the streets of baghdad in support of shia cleric mac thought asada. last month, more than 70 members of parliament affiliated to asada, resigned on his orders, deepening months of political deadlock. some protest is the scaling the wall to enter. this city's high security green zone charity organization. c watch is urgently asking for a safe port to disembark. the more than 400 migrants and refugees it rescued last

6:21 pm
dignified reception. on the other hand, europe's we ought to think a bar. the tension is in libya. we have an ongoing cost in this sense would be necessary to wage people who can be refugees, where cord back by the european corporation. the so called legally coast guard. and this wouldn't be a reasonable and right space policy. but, but if the bone bureau is totally blocked and focusing on other issues and don't care about the life of these risk, which is individually very new say at the moment. but i mean, it seems as little as changed since 2015 when, when a 1000000 people made this journey, you know, and the, as you say,
6:22 pm
the political will doesn't seem to be there. there is a voluntary packed in place, isn't there to try and help frontline states where most people are arriving simply by nature of geography. but how much is that actually working? is that making any sort of difference nowadays? no storage, energy based approach concerning record. she received, she with it'd be, this is this fuel in conflict place, but it would be easier to could be a call on european residency program. yeah. it's a state responsibility bad to give a call to the people, but then to relocate that security streaming to relocate that not to keep in camps like love the dual sign create a humanitarian crisis. so we talked to, didn't handle this for all those, but based nobody will rightly stress it's not
6:23 pm
a short period, maybe a call probably in the history o p o p brevity policy. they are not willing to be prepared and we are still struggling to create a common european fathom system in this complex europe is not able to cope with this you minute period crisis in the mix. i mean, we've obviously seen that it can work with the way that ukrainian refugees has been welcomed and spread across the, you know, in the u. k. that given many states to get the right to, to, to, to live and work for several years. sorry. in the e. u. so what does that say to you? why are we seeing this, this hypocrisy? exactly. so we are totally paid though the sa broach, whether you're great references and we think we advocate for at least is
6:24 pm
a good role model. if we are ready to do this in a way we are able to cope with this and as so, a good model would be also to, to share this. so the geraghty and give this humanity to refugees from the past of the war baby has a doctor's feeling. so we don't always about braces, which people are in the positive way hand goods. and reset the d 5 reception office who spec all put back and european bought us and we don't care about all the dead people in the mediterranean all to day plea. how would he law and they need our babies are set and that indeed, all right, we will have to leave it there. thank you very much. your time car caught there. the european, a european affairs director official preliminary results show that to nicea has

6:32 pm
on ukrainian grain is a significant step forward, but there are still problems to address a present thereon. over a 100 ships code stranded in the ports of, of the north western black. se of those about 50 will be suitable to carry this grain out. how we crew the remains. a question that needs to be answered obviously is a large number of seafarers that come from ukraine. but we are an international industry if we can guarantee the safety of seafarers, then i'm sure that we will be able to create the ships. but the safety is paramount . firstly from the main threats and also from class will down at the strikes against the dash on saturday. i think reinforced the, the risks that the seafarers will be taking and going into what is in active conflicts. and however, we hope that the formation of the joint coordination sense will give some confidence that security and safety will be guaranteed for ships that are taking
6:33 pm
cargo out that is absolutely essential for the welfare in the health with global commons. we did hope that this will ensure beyond the 120 day deadline that is currently being agreed so that we can get all this cargo out safely there. our insurers ho willing to insure the risks that these vessels will take and that is welcome. hopefully, the formation of the j. c will increase that across the market so that we can see a sufficient fleet committed to get this cargo out to rival meetings in washington, d. c. a illustrated the divide within the republican party. former president donald trump spoke at one and while his former vice president addressed the other medical haine has more january 20th 2021. president donald trump left washington. now about a year and a half later, he's back his address similar to once he's been given, painting
6:34 pm
a dark picture of the country, but one full of falsehoods. under the democratic rule, in democrat run cities, democrat run stage and a democrat run federal government. a criminals have been given free reign more than ever before. in reality, in the 10 states with the highest homicide rates, 7 are run by republicans. 3 democrats, murder in our countries up 51 percent. it's not the latest statistic, say it's up about 30 percent according to the centers for disease control and prevention. there were lies about the state of the economy and what he accomplished in office. and the fact that he lost the election, but still there were chance of 4 more years. not far away. one of the men who would like a chance to be the next president, former vice president mike pence made his pitch subtly distancing himself from his
6:35 pm
former boss. i don't, i don't know that the president and i differ on issues, but we may differ on focus. i truly do believe that elections are about future. it's not just trump who's focusing on the past attorney general mer garland, the man who will decide if trump's should be criminally charged for his role. in january 6, insurrection says if trump runs again and which trump hinted at during the speech, it won't stop him from filing charges like we pursue justice without fear or favor . we intend to hold everyone. anyone who was criminally responsible for the events surrounding january 6, 4, and he attempt to interfere with the lawful transfer power from one administration to another accountable. that's what we do. we don't pay any attention to other
6:36 pm
issues with respect to that. and we've started to see more former trump officials walk out after talking to a grand jury in washington. indications that a trump criminal indictment is at least a possibility. patty, calling al jazeera washington, was called lucas is an a meritus professor at the university of birmingham in the united kingdom. he explains the reasons behind trump's return to the washington scene. donald trump goes to washington. part of the reason he goes to washington is he's going to run for president 2024. not possible he will be running. but he's also trying to escape any legal accountability over the capsule attack. amid the house committee hearings and the justice department now saying it's expanding the possibility that there may be a prosecution. then on the other hand, you've got mike pence. the man who refused refused to go along with trump's crew on january 6th, refused to block president joe biden. and as a result,
6:37 pm
ends for chop actually set on that day. maybe mike pence deserves to hang kennedy to so patch, presenting himself as the sensible face of the republican party. we already have important republican primaries with trumpets versus non trumpet st, including in arizona next week. but take a look at who was in that crowd for trump's speech yesterday. the house minority leader, kevin mccarthy. the chair woman of the republican national committee, ronald mcdaniel, a number of legislators. they at least are weighing in their options and some of them, like jim jordan, the representative already all in with tromp. but then look at who is being silent and who is not being st. like the senate minority leader, mitch mcconnell, the man who i think was most influential waldrop was in office. and that's where you realize that the republican party, as we go through the mid term cycle, is already looked into 2024, including trump, including pets, including the santos and saying, look, we want to get our guy in. we want to continue to pack the courts with our people.
6:38 pm
we want to continue to cut taxes. but can we really afford to do it with tromp? given that he tried to stay in power through a coup the 1st time a president effectively tried to overthrow the constitution to remain in office emergency crews. nila say they're making progress as they battle california's largest wildfire this year. and a quarter of the fire net yosemite national park is now contained it began banding on friday and it's destroyed more than $6000.00 head days of land or battles. reports from our plaza county, aftermath of an inferno. this house was completely incinerated by the huge wildfire that ripped through mar posts, a county in california, sierra nevada mountains. the heat was so intense, it melted aluminum parts and cars, turning them into shiny dribbles of metal. the fire broke out on friday and quickly exploded in size and gulping thousands of hector's and forcing thousands of people

6:40 pm

problem breaking in to go live now to the rose garden of the white house, where you as president joe biden is about to speak listening as i was walking out. i thought i heard a rumbling my staff st. oh, he's back actually sticking around along the line. i just tested negative for coven 19 after isolating for 5 days. now, being returned to work in person. why i want to thank you all for your well wishes your prayers are over this past week and the calls i've gotten, i've also want to thank the medical team here at the white house for, for the incredible care they gave me. fortunately, god, thankfully thank god willing, there was my symptoms were mild,
6:45 pm
my recovery was quick and i'm feeling great. entire time i was in isolation, i was able to work to carry out the duties of the office in without any interruption. it's a surreal statement on where we are in the fight against coven 19. and right now we're, we are facing a new variant and be a 5 variant, a very transmissible version wellborn, crown variant. we saw here this past winter. in fact, this new variant and affected me is getting a lot of people infected all around the world. not just here in the united states. we should take precautions to try to slow the spread of this virus. biden ministration made millions of dollars and funding available to improve ventilation in our schools and our public buildings made test widely available. so you can take one before attending a large indoor gatherings or visiting with high risk individuals. we may high
6:46 pm
quality mask available for free. so you should consider where to mask when you're in a crowded indoor public place. these precautions add an extra layer protection for you and for those around you. but the reality is that be a 5 means many of us are still going to get covered. even if we take the precautions that there's a main we're are we're doing anything wrong, unfortunate this coven is still with us, as it has been for 2 and a half years. but our fight against coven is making a huge difference. what's different now is our ability to protect ourselves some serious illness due to cov, it in fact, that's radically different today than it was just a year ago. cove it isn't gone, but even with cases climbing in this country, covered desks or down nearly 90 percent. and when i took office, that's 90 percent difference for gen today. and when i took office that's was no,
6:47 pm
that's what's new. and coven response different from where we were just a year ago. even have covered, even if you get covered, you can avoid winding up innocent with a severe case. you can now prevent most covered deaths, and that's because 3 free tools by administration is invested in and distributed this past year. booster shots at home test, easy to use effective treatments. we've got through cover would no fear i got through with no fear, a very mild discomfort because of these essentials, life saving tools. and guess what? i want to remind everybody they are free. they are convenient. and they're safe and they work 1st booster shots and weren't available year ago. they are now everywhere. every person age 5 and over should get a booster shot. if you're over 50 years old,
6:48 pm
you should get to booster shots. i did. and if you add your boosters one if you're under 52, if you ever 50 your odds of getting severely from covered are very, very low. even all americans are very unlikely to get severe cobra did they have to booster shots? most covered desks are among those who are not up to date on their shots. they're covered vaccinations. so if you're over 50 and you haven't gotten a booster shot this year, go get one right away. go to coven dot gov. type in your zip code and find a place where you get a booster shot for free, usually at a site this less than 5 miles from your home. second, at home test, a year ago at home, jess were rare and expensive. now everyone in america, you get them for free, shipped to their door,
6:49 pm
shipped to their door. there's no excuse again go to cobra dot go and order at home tests for free. testing to find out of your symptoms mean you have covered is critical and getting treatment quickly. 3rd treatments. if you test positive. yeah . avenue par for we have a new proud of what treatment call packs love it. it wasn't available year ago. it's now it is a pill. and now you can take these pills at home. you get them for free at tens of thousands of local drug stores around the country, the food drug administration, the f da, even put in a special rule. so many pharmacists can prescribe these, this particular drug. so you don't even have to go to the doctor to get a prescription. millions of americans have used packs, lavoy, facts, lavette, excuse me, packs lovin. i tell you would. i think it's,
6:50 pm
i used it. oh, facts love and including me. this life saving drug reduces risk of hospitalization and death, and coven 19 by about 90 percent. again, it's free. safe and easy to take. and we move quickly to make it widely available, including the thousands of convenient test to treat sides where you can get, test it. and if you need it, fax, lovin is at the ready right then, and there. when you make your visit again, go to coven dot gov, to find where test entreat sites are there near you. here's the bottom line. when my predecessor got covered, he had to get helicopter to walter reed medical center. he was severely ill. thankfully he recovered. when i got covert, i work from upstairs with the white house, and the office is upstairs. and for the that 5 day period, the difference is vaccinations of course,
6:51 pm
but also 3 new tools for you to all and widely available. you don't need to be president to get these tools used for your defense. in fact, the same booster shots the same at home test, the same treatment that i got is available to you. my administration is made sure that all americans crossed the country mol, walks of life, have free access to those tools. cobra was killing thousands of americans a day when i got here that isn't the case anymore. you can live without fear. by doing what i did get boosted, get tested in get treatment, the same tie, my administration, men's vigilant. right now we have the tools to keep you from getting severely ill are dying from coven, but we're not stopping there. early this week we had a conference of the white house for about the next generation of vaccines with a gold keeping people getting sick in the 1st place, getting covered at all,
6:52 pm
even getting. let me close this or the past 18 months. my ministrations left no stone on turn. and our fight against his pandemic. none. we brought down best by nearly 90 percent since i took office as the help of all the people. nas, rose guard, businesses, schools respond. grandparents are hugging their kids and grandkids again. weddies birthday celebrations are happening in person. yeah. so let's keep emerging from one of the darkest moments under history with hope and light for what can come get vaccinated if you haven't gotten already. and now get boosted or to your free test . and he gets sick. and test positive seek treatment. take advantage of these life saving tools. we have more of these tools and we ever had before. and my friends in congress, us keep investing in these tools, vaccinations, treatments, test, and more so we can help making them available americans, the american people on
6:53 pm
a permanent basis. let's get moving my stay permanent basis as long as they are needed. let's keep moving forward safely. god bless you all. and now i get to go back to the oval office. thank you all very much. oh ok. that with you as president joe biden is talking about his recovery from co that and the importance of vaccinations and getting vaccinated. sla, i guess we'll go to our white house correspondent, kimberly how kit now who's standing by for us in washington. kimberly. so he's, he's batteries and he's, and he's back to work, although he never really stopped working. so i never really stopped working. but i think this is an opportunity for the president to seize on a moment of good news. it was a presidency that hasn't had a lot of good news moments. and so this is clearly an opportunity to highlight in
6:54 pm
presidency that had a lot of dark moments with sun literally is shining in the rose garden. not just because the president has recovered very quickly from cove it, but really to show where the country has come in a relatively short amount of time. the u. s. president was brought in and made it a campaign pledge when he ran for office that he would, if not eradicate, that he would get the pandemic under control. but once in the office, he found this to be a difficult challenge. and americans grew increasingly frustrated and that was reflected in his poll numbers a lot with some of the other challenges with the economy. and so we really saw some numbers in terms of approval ratings, bottoming out at some points in the 30 percent approval ratings. another words americans pretty frustrated, so the president highlighting that his own illness. c. remember he was only diagnosed with coven testing positive on thursday. now we're here on wednesday in
6:55 pm
washington, and the president is, has worked the entire time and is now out of quarantined and back in the oval office. that's a very short time to be sick and is really back to normal, so to speak. and so the president really wanting to contrast that with the illness of his predecessor to say, not only is this politics at work, but it's also science at work. and so if you recall those who remember donald trump, when he oh did get covered 19, there were no vaccines available. there were still just experimental treatments available at the president. donald trump was severely ill and there were some scary moments even for a time. so it just shows how well things have improved since then. this is an opportunity for the present to highlight that. i, kimberly hawkins there at the white house. thank you. cuba has been marking 69 years since the stars of a communist uprising that eventually led to fidel castro,
