3:06 am
lay as of concrete to reach deep down under the demolished homes. with severe shortages of equipment and resources, many volunteers and local people helping out. we know the syrian defense organisation has a major role in the risk to operations. just as its role was clear and if it's to save civilians because of russian and syrian regime, a rates. but the areas hit by the earthquake in the middle of government and northern countryside village of vast. there are also some community initiatives with donations being collected from people to provide field needed for bulldozers to lift the rebels. the families of the victims are going to hospitals to identify the injured and those pulled out a life from under the rubble. here too. they are waiting to identify the girl and the woman who were pulled out alive, the presence of so many people here, sometimes hampers rescue operations. but everybody wants to identify and recognize the relatives. the $130.00 families living and 12 buildings here and the fate of all of them won't be known until the work to remove the rubble comes to an end.
3:07 am
well, the head of the theory and red crescent is calling for us sanctions to be lifted. so that aid can freely enter the country. planes carrying aid from algeria and united arab emirates of landed in the regime control areas of poland, damascus for the roots used by the un to get to manitoba and assistance into the north of the country from to care have been damaged for brit. so capone is with the international committee of the red cross and red crescent. he says providing a to watch on syria is not straightforward. this team, we have a main the on, on the area and sides. and what we see as an emergency is obviously the medical help to or the people who need and the heavy machinery to move the buildings which was destroyed. so there is a sense of, of emergency for this respond in syria and obviously also in turkey. but i get the focus on syria is also necessary because of the very challenging
3:08 am
environment in which we operate. these her quake is, is just one disaster in a long series of disaster. you know, a couple of weeks ago we were working. ready on the cholera epidemic in, in the area over level one of the hardest hit area. and before that you had the financial crisis. you had the covered, you had the fighting and the bombing. so we have a population which is already extremely vulnerable, even without these hard quake. and these were heard, great comes on top of already a dramatic situation. us president joe biden is set to deliver his 2nd state of the union address. and just under 2 hours time, all eyes are on capitol hill as barton is expected to address a deep divided congress, economic uncertainty and policing reform. the war in ukraine and pensions of china,
3:09 am
also expected to be high on the agenda. barton goes into the speech with a flagging approval rating of 43 percent, the worst, every 2nd year, approval rating for us present that sir cross the us. now for more on this to joining us live from ellicott city. maryland is jason nicholas. he is a democratic strategist and electra in african american studies department at university of maryland and a from grateful virginia. we also have james davis. he's a republican strategist and president of a touchdown strategist. welcome to both the adjacent nichols 1st step. how much will president biden try and play up the resilience of the u. s. economy in what he would say is his role in that i think that's going to be a big part of the speech. i think he's also trying to show to the american people that he deserves. the 2nd term i expect him to run. i think he's going to talk about 12000000 jobs that have been created in 2 years, which is a record. ah, he's going to talk about 3.4 percent unemployment, the lowest rate in 54 years. he's going to talk about
3:10 am
a 100000 manufacturing jobs. something that the last administration promised would happen. but he brought manufacturing back to the united states, were inflation is cooling, we're seeing the resilience of the american economy. and he is going to tout some of his accomplishments, including dropping our gas prices, dropping health care prices. i expect that he's going to spend a lot of time talking about that and you know, some of the things that he's done abroad is, well, you know, and strengthening nato in defending democracy, both here and abroad. so i think he's got a lot of accomplishments. he's not always the greatest communicator, so he needs to have a really good night in order to make his case to the american people. but he's got quite a resume. angelina. ok, well, let's go to james davis on this. then how do you think a president biden his fed since the last day to the new address?
3:11 am
does he deserve a 2nd time? i mean, i think tonight is nothing more than a campaign speech and it's going to take more than hollow rhetoric to defend the record. i mean, we're still facing record inflation and, you know, yeah, there are been jobs created, but those jobs are recreated after they were last during the shut down the pandemic . what are we done? you know, the, are the inflation reduction and what is it done to actually help things other than shoot up the national debt and drive more inflation? you know, they said that, you know, capping drug prices wouldn't, in the reduction inflation act, would not remove medicines from your medicine cabinet. but studies have already shown that that's true. in fact, scholar from university to chicago, tomas phillips and did a study on that just at the end of the year. and we're only a little ways into this. and so i think there's so much more that he's gonna have to do if he wants to see re election, it's going to require leadership. he's got to fix the crisis at the border. he's
3:12 am
got to fix the immigration process, so we can have more legal immigration across america, which is key to the labor market that suffering. and, you know, we're going to have to continue to, to try to work together to solve these problems. and that's going to take a lot of leadership, jason nickos, obviously this is going to be very much a domestic audience that he's talking to here. presumably he's likely to touch on the issue of a police reform in the wake of what happened to her in nichols at the hands of police? yes, no, absolutely. yes. to talk about police reform. obviously, you know, there are some people on the left who don't fully agree with the president on his approach to police reform. he believes in more police. he believes in community policing. and he's going to have to make the case even to the left about why that would be effective. he's going to have to touch on. and of course he invited a timely nichols family to the speech. and he's gonna have to talk touch on voting
3:13 am
rights. i mean, he cannot mclee again, i would disagree with with james to a degree well actually to a crate degree. for 1st of all, we've seen that wage growth amongst low wage workers and african american workers is, has actually been the highest of any demographic it. as a matter of fact, it's outpaced inflation. so we've, he has strong things that he can lean on to his base, which without question is african americans, african americans are the ones that put him in office. so he's gonna have to also tell them that he has their back in those areas. now in terms of immigration, we have to remember that's the job of congress, and it's congress has failed for the past 40 years and trying to get comprehensive immigration reform. i do think that the president needs to address it. he needs to address the border, but the idea that he can fix it unilaterally is, is something that we know is absolutely untrue. now he's tried,
3:14 am
he'll try and work with republicans just like other presidents have tried. and he'll probably fail because republicans want this primarily as a talking point rather than to actually solve the problem. but okay, let me ask a james davis on, on that point, then, do you think that can be some kind of hot as an agreement when it comes to these kind of issues? absolutely, i do site, the candy and jason's correct congress has felt this over the years, but it starts from the top and you've got a set of vision and have a you know, a real discussion with leaders in the congress that other than the house in the senate republicans and democrats, if you want to get something done and start by outlining a set of principles for what we, we can all agree on. in fact, most poll say that 80 plus percent of americans agree secure the borders and fix the immigration system. so we can have more legal immigration, and that's critical, like i said before, for the labor market. and then we have the issue of dreamers who are the so called
3:15 am
dhaka on recipients who are here, you know, father their own their members in our community, their, their mother's their, their, their teachers there. you know, he pillars in our community and i, and i think that there's an opportunity to move with legislation that would get this done. you saw bipartisan legislation in the last, the presidency under criminal justice reform. and i think you know, that bridge that of, i've been why can't we do that for immigration here and spending, which you know is as a major issue as well. so i think there are some opportunities to get things done, but it does require leadership. and jason nichols briefly if you will, in terms of the progressive faction in a democratic party. is he progressive enough for them? i think you know, it's funny. i was talking to a socialist friend of mine, and he literally said that joe biden is the most effective president of his life,
3:16 am
tom and you know, so i think that there are progressive. so now i think that was more an indictment of the democratic party. and the republican party, but at the same time, i think that a lot of what he said during the campaign that he would be a progressive president, that he would defend progressive values has basically come to pass. and i would agree with james that there are things we can come together on. i think one of the big ones that you're going to get in tonight in the speech is about china. i think that's where you're going to get some applause lines where perhaps even a couple republicans will stand up. and he's going to talk about standing up to china and talk about some of their efforts that, you know, i'm tired, defending taiwan and other things that i think of what you'll see some bipartisan agreement unless hopeful about some of the other thing i changed was the life or i was gonna give me like i don't have to leave it now when we are out of time. but at
3:17 am
jason nichols, james davis, we very much appreciate your time. thank you very much. thank you. what's that? a head here now to sierra russian foreign minister again, leverage pays a visit to molly as part of moscow's charm offensive on the african continent. ah, bitcoin block chain and crypto currency, disruptive technology join with me and introducing a bill to outlaw crypto currency all the way to a fair, a financial system. because open source software, we can trade out or money without banks or governments award winning. filmmaker tossed and huffman looks at all sides of the complex crypto crypto. bitcoin look change from the internet on out to sierra examining the impact of today's headlines. this is what is the, what about ensuring that one can continue,
3:18 am
let comfortable in that. setting the agenda for tomorrow's discussions. i don't believe that. i think it's the funny thing that isn't willing to kill international filmmakers of world class journalists, bring programs to inform and inspire you. we need to have a media ensuring that like the hood on al jazeera, inspiring stories from around the world is that a human life capture? and it's a foster one witness. on a jesse lou . ah,
