5:09 pm
personal freedoms fundamental, merge americans. biden's team has released a campaign launch video exactly 4 years after announcing his previous bid. the run for president. the campaign slogan is, let's finish the job at age 18. he is already the oldest president in us history, but he has brushed aside concerns about his fitness for a 2nd term. and there was swift reaction from former u. s. president. donald trump posting on his truth social websites from said you could take the 5 worst president in american history and put them together and they would not have done the damage. joe biden has done to our nation in just a few short years, not even close. allen fisher, is that the white house on this allen? so normally it's not a toll a surprise that a sitting president runs for reelection, right. but this was a little different because of biden's age. what was the calculation within the white house? oh, from the slogan you can tell less, finished a job,
5:10 pm
joe biden thinks are still things to do. he believes that his presidency can fundamentally reshape american life. will seen that in the way that he's approach things like the at the inflation reduction act, which it also includes med, social measures, the infrastructure act, which was bipartisan and helped to try and change the face of america's road rail and internet networks. he thinks there's still work to be done, not least, and protecting people as civil liberties. he thinks that things like birth control, abortion is under threat. so he would like to to be able to do something about that . if he was given another 4 years, he thinks that the right to the gay marriage could well be under threat from state houses and also from the supreme court. so he thinks there still a great deal left to do, including facing what he calls maga, republicans. he thinks the threat from donald trump still hasn't gone away. and you remember, it was exactly 4 years ago to day that he announced he was running because he
5:11 pm
believed that this was a fight for the soul of america. and that's something he still passionately believes and how the american voters feel about joe biden to years into his presidency. well, if you look at the poles, most people are concerned about his age. they are worried that a man who will be 82 when the election is held at will, could possibly, when office for another 4 years. that's going to be one of biden's problems. first of all, it's his age. and 2nd, it's his messaging. if you speak to independent commentators, they will tell you the biden presidency has actually been recently good. he's managed to make a difference. yes, there was inflation after covered, but that was to be expected that he's managed to get that under control. he's managed to improve road rail internet networks. he's done things on social justice as well, which many people see as a positive. he's actually managed to pass bipartisan gun control legislation as well. the difficulty they've got is selling it to the american people. if you ask
5:12 pm
americans as the economy heading in the right way, the pose will tell you, they don't think it is. if you say to americans, inflation is, don't you feel that you're better off than you were a year ago? they probably don't think that they are, and so he's really got to sharpen up his message. the good news for him is that he's got 18 months before the election to get it done. he could probably face donald trump all things being equal at the moment. and joe biden believes that many independents are simply turned off by donald trump's type of politics by maga republicans. and he thinks that could be important in securing another for years in his final run for the white house. alan fisher in washington dc. thank you very much. at least 89 bodies have been found in eastern kenya on land owned by the leader of a religious cult authority, say the victims starved themselves to death after being told to stop eating by their pastor. he is now under arrest. and those canyon deaths aren't the 1st to be linked to a religious group in 1978. more than 900 followers of the people's temple died in
5:13 pm
what members called revolutionary suicide. they drank poisoned to punch on the orders of cult leader. jim jones, this was in guiana. more than 70 members of the solar temple died in a series of mass suicide that was between 10941095. the victims were in france, switzerland and canada, and more than 700 members of a cult, died in a suspected mass, suicide in southwest and uganda in 2000 followers of the movement for the restoration of the 10 commandments of god. thought that the world would end that year. linda do brought marshall is a clinical psychologist in senior lecturer at the university of south for it. and she says that cult leader is repeat lies until members find it difficult to distinguish between reality. here you have a group that believes that the nest life is much more important than this life. so therefore, it becomes sensible to speed up your entry into the next life, which requires that, that, that's ridiculous idea that nobody would really embrace because starving yourself
5:14 pm
is so painful, physically and emotionally. so it means there had to be a concerted effort for the leader to convince people that their parent lives are meaningless. and that this is the way that they can have a filament. and then it's really important, although there referred to suicide, there were murders involved, there were children that were killed by their parents, and there were people that were reluctant that have been murdered. so it gets quite complicated because not everyone is going to have the same level of compliance. well, what happens is the leader will have these ideas. he will inculcate it in their followers and then those ideas get inside. this is something that rod duper marshall and i have researched and come up with the theory of total listing identity, where the identity of the leader it gets inside of you no longer need the leader to be there physically with you. it's become part of you when you honestly believe the things that have been taught to you. so you now have the irony of people having
5:15 pm
been extracted from this group and not wanting to eat or drink while they've been arrested. still ahead on al jazeera suspected gang members killed by an angry crowd in haiti's capital. as the un warned gang violence has reached levels comparable to countries at was indigenous protesters gathering for the in brazil's capital calling to land rights. ah, while we got our next, what's really disturbance pushing in to pakistan. hi everyone will pick up this story there. so it will impact anywhere from sin province straight through to punjab and the capital territory as always the threat of severe thunderstorms hail storms which could certainly damage some of the crops or keep tabs on that storms
