the level of the destruction in the city is beyond imagination. more than a 900, a 40 by buildings. how could lapse in total. and there are more than 600 people already that and humbled other easier. and according to officials, the rescue team and the people here. there are tons of people on the dears robles are that you that you can see. so it is quite difficult to have access to this city because the roads, the men, horses that are leading to this city caught among mirage. mostly either they are collapsed or they are jammed by the tracks by the vehicles and 8 trucks, the military vehicles. and so on, because people from across the country, those who they had the relatives here, they are rushing into the city. and some of them seeing that their relatives are still be i did beneath the they did that, the rob or some of them say that their relatives are dead and they're coming,

the jobs figures being so impressive with inflation coming down with costs coming down as well. you'll talk about the threat from china, not just economically, but of course what happened in the last week with the balloon floating across the continental united states eventually being short down and he will give a justification of why that was the right thing to do. and he will talk about the successes he's had in his 1st 2 years in office. the bipartisan bills that have passed, which have helped infrastructure rebuilding roads in airports across the country. the fact that he's managed to cap some prescription drug prices, the fact that he's been able to act for veterans as well. but they'll be those who will see the division. and it will be clear for all the people watching a tv. because the republican speaker of the house, kevin mccarthy, will be right there behind them. of course there's a big battle looming over the debt limit. the u. s. is bumped up against that. now, there has to be a deal to raise that. the republicans are demanding that they're spending cuts. joe biden says there's no way they're negotiating this. so that's one sign that there's

going to be arguments between republicans and democrats. now, joe biden thinks he has a unity agenda. we're all parties can agree to advance things such as cancer care, mental health, the fight against fentanyl, and also veterans affairs. but there is real division between the republicans and the democrats, and that will be very much on sure. no, joe biden really kinda needs a good state of the union. he has the successes from the 1st 2 years, but doesn't think that they're filter don't. so the ordinary people feel the benefits and that's reflected in his opinion, poll ratings. it's around 4044 percent, very low indeed. and if he wants to run for reelection, he's got to start getting that number up and that fight has got to start at the state of the union in a couple of hours. allen fisher, thank you very much. indeed, ah, frogs experienced a 3rd day of nationwide strikes against pension reforms. hundreds of thousands of
