6:02 pm
reported to have been kill since the violence began 2 weeks ago. the sudanese army is locked in a battle for control with the parent military rapids support forces. so a faltering cease fire announced on monday and broker and by the u. s. and saudi arabia is not holding, but the warring sides have not kept other cease fires in the past week. will tens of 1000 the sudanese are seeking refuge and neighboring countries. you and refugee agency is warning up to $270000.00 people could fleet to charge as well as south su, done. many more remained stranded in hard to me and then in german. people are desperately waiting to board buses to take them to borders. a foreigners are also continuing to lead to done algeria, and greece are the latest countries to carry out evacuations. we have hipaa morgan joining us lie from cartoon. so how about what is the state of the sci fi are right now. while there are some residential areas in cartoon
6:03 pm
that report that having heard no artillery strikes or a sounds of 5 jets and eric track since the thoughts of the day to day. but the other residential neighborhoods that reported artillery strikes and that they can see the fight to get flying overhead. so they are places where this piece by held up, and there are other places such as the vicinity of the presidential palace and the general commander of the army. whether it's been in terms fighting between the 2 sides where the fire did not hold. now another place that it did not hold if the city of undermined a hospital was had in the city of under man following an artillery strike, at least a dozen people have been injured and the hospital was forced to close. and those who are injured forth to evacuate to another hospital about 3 kilometers away. then there's the northern parts of the capital residency that they were not able to get out of their homes near a bridge called fire bridge. because of fighting between the rapid support for us and the food in these army. so it's clear that while there are some places like the southern parts of the capitol and the eastern part,
6:04 pm
there are other parts where the sci fi did not hold. and how about we understand that a biological laboratory was also sees. tell us what we know about this lab and who sees that while the lab lies in the center of her tomb around the vicinity of the general command and the presidential palace where both sides are buying for contest, it's where people don't need blood and the way the blood back is the main blood bank, so that's going to put the health sector which is already a trick at further deterioration. the concern, according to medic who we spoke to, is that there are other samples that contain virus and bacteria. and they're concerned that that will spread further diseases around the capital hard to and that's because they're already health risks and health has its concerns being raised in the capitol with dead bodies lying around on the streets. people say that for 5 days or 6 days, and in some places for 11 days, they have been dead bodies lying close at some of them already talking to decompose and people cannot reach them and bury them and their concerns that along with the seizure of this lab where there are samples that contain virus and bacteria,
6:05 pm
there is a health hazard in the capital one. how about just one more for you? tell us about the humanitarian toll that this war is having on, on those people, particularly who are still in hard to me. and who haven't managed to leave or don't want to leave? well, it's not about not wanting to leave for many people. it's about not being able to leave. people say that they've reached a point where they have no access to cash. they have no access to banks and online banking is an on an off operation. sometimes it works. sometimes it doesn't, they want to get out. many of them say that they want to get out. usually a family, it's about 5 or 6 and the cost of fuel has increased more than $10.00 times. and then there's the cost of transport itself that has also risen dramatically and many people say they can no longer afford that. but that's in terms of those who want to go. those who wants to stay say that living has become very hard, they no longer can afford bread, which is tripled in price. they no longer can afford other commodities because there's cars at the in those commodities. and shops have increase their price as
6:06 pm
well. so many of them say that if they want to stay the, the market price is leading to a humanitarian situation where they can no longer afford to eat. and if they want to go, they have no means do so because of bank being closed and them liking the cash. okay. have, i will let you go for now. thank you so much. have a morgan as our correspondence in order to so as even hearing more people are fleeing the fighting, and some governments are continuing with evacuations with her tombs international airport closed. foreign governments are looking elsewhere to get their citizen doubts. the don't go la local airport is one option. it's in the northern part of the country, closer to egypt than to the west. there is also the shaheed sabera airport that's located in sudan dar for region. another possible evacuation route is through the ports to don international airport. it's in the red sea province on the relatively short distance in the saudi port, city of jed down. some roads that remain open can get people closer to e p. o. p. egypt on south sedan,
6:07 pm

6:11 pm
that's coming up with her hope to the us. now we're president joe biden has announced his re election bid for a 2024 free and ah, personal freedom is fundamental. who are americans? there's not so biden's team released the campaign launch video, exactly 4 years after announcing his previous bid to run for president. the campaign slogan is, let's finish the job at age 80. he's already the oldest president and us history, but he's brushed aside concerns about his fitness for a 2nd term. while there was swift reaction from the former us president donald trump posted on his truth social website thing this, you could take the 5 worst presidents 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 to the re analysis, or he's joining us in the white house. so allen,
6:12 pm
we can see very clearly how president for president trump feels about about joe biden. but what's been the reaction amongst americans now the bite in his announce is reelection bid? oh, he say still pretty early in the day. and so it's only been announced what within the last 3 hours or so. but suddenly in the build up to the announcement and everyone is expecting this to day, there was perhaps an aide of fatigue or owned american voters. they went through the biting trump battle in 2020 and it looks the way things stand at the moment that will be biting trump again. fighting for the presidential election in 2024 and people are tired by that. there's also concern to about jo biden's age. he is of course, the oldest president. america has had he is 80. he will be $82.00 on election day. if he sees out the feel for years of a 2nd term. he will be $86.00 that is above the normal a life expectancy of an american male. and there will be, will be hearing the same arguments that we had before again and again. and again, republicans will make this
6:13 pm
a question about joe biden's economy and his competency joe biden will be arguing that republicans, in particular, maggie republicans are targeting peoples freedoms and also they are a threat to democracy. so we're going to see, i repeat of that battle, but clearly joe biden believes his message. will resonate with voters, even though recent polls suggests that his age is a concern for the majority of them, including democrats. yes. so was there any sort of challenge from within the democratic party, alan? i suspect that if it wasn't donald trump, there would have been many more democrats going to joe biden saying, look, let, let, let's think about this. maybe it's time to and over to the new generation. but if you look around the new generation that is actually pushing to say me, me, me, it should be me. there's marianne williamson who ran for president and the democratic nomination back in 2020. remember har, no,
6:14 pm
that's the problem that she's got not many people know who she is and she's got very small room named recognition. and there's talk that robert kennedy junior, the son of robert kennedy. obviously, i could well announced that he is going to run these, consider the maverick in the democratic party as an auditor. fantastic. but he holds positions that are seem i, as quite outside the norm of the democratic party. there may be other challenges, but the reality is, is very rare for anyone to challenge an incumbent president. and if they do, they're not going to have the same money, the same clothes, the same bully pulpit, the same opportunity to speak to the media. and those attempts came to die away. so it's almost certain that joe biden will be the democratic nominee for the that the presidential race in 2024. will he faced donald trump at the moment? if you are asking me, i say that's likely this is going to be job biden's 4th run for the white house successful once before. and of course this will be his last ever. all right,
6:15 pm
thank you. alan fisher reporting from the white house. so historically 21 us presidents have successfully serve the 2nd term at the white house. particle haine takes a look back for potential obstacles. joe biden could face ronald reagan. it's more usual than not desert protect and defend the vast majority of presidents who, when a 1st term run and when again the constitution of united states and get to take the oath of office a 2nd time. so help me, god congratulate big reason money. it's he here to fundraise when you are an incumbent because you have the power of the office. people want to be around the president. people want to contribute to the president and, and president have a pretty good real action chance i josha joe biden is the 46 u. s. president of 8 of his predecessors, died, novice, and 11, could not or chose not to run for reelection. ah, there are just 10 who tried and failed. the issues that cost donald trump re
6:16 pm
election for the coverage of the economy constant controversies before trump. it was george h. w bush. read my lips. ah, he broke that promise which heard a 2nd campaign along with a viable 3rd party candidate in the race he lost, ah, the next to lose the 39th president jimmy carter against anger and i'm say, it doesn't hurt weakened by primary challenge for his parties, nomination the economy in recession, the ongoing iran hostage crisis. and then this answer during a debate seemed to seal his fate. i had a discussion with my daughter amy the other day before i came here to ask her what the most important she was. she said she thought nuclear weaponry. his daughter was 8 years old. carter lost in a landslide to ronald reagan. this report will be my last, gerald ford, whom carter had defeated serve less than one full term, failing to win in 1976. after pardoning his disgraced former boss,
6:17 pm
richard nixon for the watergate scandal vanished particularly and to be economic relief until that point, decades had passed since the nation had seen another one term president herbert hoover. in 1932, he was blamed for failing to act, to stop the great depression, the other presidents to lose the 27th william taft, the 8th, martin van buren, the 6th john quincy adams and his father. the 2nd president, john adams, all faced failing economies. 3rd party candidates are a fight from within their one party. one common theme for presidents that when reelection, historically they've needed an approval rating close to 50 percent. joe biden's are not that high, but historians say that might not be a factor any more. because of all of the stir that's going on in the churning and the partisanship, the knapsack and the violence that's been happening in our politics. we probably
6:18 pm
shouldn't be too surprised that it's hard for presidents to get up even over 80 percent these days. analysts say the biggest challenge provided will be his age. the oldest serving president poll show the majority of americans didn't want him to make this decision. now comes the hard work of convincing them. he can and should serve a 2nd term. patty calling al jazeera washington. let's how crossover to washington this in bring in steve clemens, in the founding editor at large at semaphores is also the host of al jazeera, the bottom line. hi there, steve. thanks for your time with us today. so you saw that video that was released via by president joe biden. the the slogan is, let's finish the job. it. is this going to resonate with voters? well, you know, it's very interesting that he started out in really focused on been negative things, that mago republicans represent rather than the positive things that he has achieved. so while he's talking about finishing the job and he's pass a lot of legislation and got a lot of things through,
6:19 pm
but that's not where they started this. they started about donald trump and all of the chaos that had come before joe biden. and you're really telling americans, do you want that back? and, and so didn't know, basically joe biden is running on the prospect. the donald trump is going to be his challenger rate. and what about his age? you know, a lot as being said about him being the already the oldest president in u. s. history and how much of an obstacle is that for well, beneath, you know, beneath they're what they say publicly. a lot of democrats are uncomfortable with joe biden. you know, he probably will win easily the nomination, but more than 40 percent of democrats would rather see someone else run because i think they do have concerns about his age. that said, there's no consensus on who that ought to be. we're going to have, you know, donald trump is 76 right now. and so when he runs, you know, you're going to have 2 of the oldest candidates in both parties running against
6:20 pm
each other. and so it's a new phase in history. it'll be historic in that moment, and if and if joe biden wins this next race at the end of his term, he'll be 86 years old, which is, which is a significant age. i'm not an ages, but there are a lot of people who have concerns that he doesn't have the same vigor and attentiveness to some of the big policy challenges or the vigor if you will, to handle the job. i disagree with that assessment. i've been around the president seen him, very enthusiastic, but i do think age is a big concern to some democrats. all right, the clements? thank you so much for your time. my pleasure. now the turkish authorities of arrest us more than a 100 people accusing them of having links to terrorism. some are members of the opposition people's democratic party. more than 20 different locations were rated. it comes less than 3 weeks before president read the player early on faces. what's expected to be a tight election race center, because the vocal has more from

a religious group in 1978. more than 900 followers of the people's temple died and what members called revolutionary suicide, they drank poison punch on the orders of the cult leader. jim jones and guiana. more than 70 members of the soul, our temple died in a series of mass suicides between 19941995. the victims were in france, switzerland on canada, and more than 700 members of a coal died in a suspected mass, suicide, and south western uganda in 2000 followers of the movement for the restoration. the 10 commandments of god, thought the world would end that year. linda dobro marshall is a clinical psychologist and senior lecture at the university of self heard. she says, cult leaders, repeat lies until members lose their grasp on 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 require step
6:26 pm
not. that's ridiculous idea that nobody would really embrace because starving yourself 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 lines are meaningless. and that this is the way that they can have a filament. and then it's really important, although they're referred to as 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 the ideas he will inculcated in their followers and that knows 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 and you no longer need the leader to be there physically with you. it's become part of you and you honestly

and also known as the asian king vulture. it played an important role in the ecosystem, cleaning up dead animals and preventing the spread of disease through scavenging. but hunting and habitat changes have left it on the brink of dying out. i think the most crucial aspect of our success would be to enhance the ecosystem of the unesco hired to cite like our king wildlife century, which was once home to the largest flock of asian king vogis. once the captive population is large enough, the zoo plans to reintroduce them to the wild and see the agent, king vulture, fly high, and the skies again. lean barkley, elisha zito, was returned to the fighting and through dawn. and we can bring in john kirby who's the coordinator for strategic communications with the us national security council . he's joining us from the white house, john kirby. welcome to 0. thanks for your time. so the u. s. and the 72, our seas fire it had been agreed on monday. how do you assess the state of cease
6:49 pm
fire right now? so far, we know the violence is down as a result of this says he's fire being agreed you by both sides. there's still some, some braddock fighting in and around cartoon, but in large part, in large matter measure the cease fire seems to be work and certainly the violence is now down. what we want is for the violence to stop altogether. of course, so that no more students lives are put at risk and humanitarian assistance can get to the people who need it. right. so the reports that we're getting from the ground is that there seems to be a sporadic fighting in areas in khartoum as well as mine. so. so that's see as far as it could be faltering. but when you look at the situation on the ground overall, as you're saying, the violence continues to weeks on. so the reality is that both sides think they could win this militarily. how do you see the situation playing out? we don't believe that a military solution is achievable here in this particular case,
6:50 pm
and that's why we're staying in near daily contact with both military leaders. general bron in general committee to continue to urge them to abide by the ceasefire that they themselves say they want to see and to find a path forward here for a transition to civilian authority. but look, you know, we've got to take this in steps. the step right now that we're right in front of us is getting the violence down, getting the shooting to stop so that people don't have to live in fear so that foreign nationals who want to leave can leave, and humanitarian assistance can get to the people of cartoon in particular, but across the country that's got to be the 1st thing in front of us. secondly, we're going to stay in touch with both factions to try to find a way to urge both of them to get back to the table to discuss one with one another . a way to transition here to civilian authority because that's what the sudanese people want, that's what they deserve. the united states is going to stay committed to that end, right. i wonder if you can tell us a little bit about what's going on behind the scenes. i know there's some stuff that you can't disclose, obviously, but the secretary of state said bits to support
6:51 pm
a durable end to the vedic fighting. the u. s. will coordinate with regional and international partners as well as civilian stakeholders. tell us a little bit about those conversations. that are taking place and what's, what coordination is the u. s. after right now, we're certainly talking to our allies in partners all across the world and that includes our lives in partners in europe, the u. k. the, the germans, the french, you also have foreign nationals that are living in and around cartoon, and are trying to get them or help them, lee. but we're also talking to allies in partners in the region, saudi arabia and egypt, for instance, who have not only got a stake in their own, with their own citizens in cartoon, but have been helping us as we coordinate the departure by ground routes of american citizens i would also tell you that we're in very regular contact with the, with the arab league in writ large multilaterally. and of course, with the african union. so there's a lot of discussions on
6:52 pm
a lot of different levels with allies and partners and multilateral organizations. but really trying to be because going to be feel before and after the december political agreement, the united states was always involved in sudan. it was closely following the political negotiations facilitated by the us, by the african union, by god. so what is the us doing differently this time around and who can exert influence in your opinion and make these 2 parties come to the negotiating table? well, we're pretty, we're pretty confident that we can have an influence here. i mean, it was the united states, you a broker, this currency fire that is again, largely being observed. we've got to stake here. we've got an interest at the table and we're going to continue to use that in the united states convening power to try to get these 2 sides together to get the violence down. but you gotta, you gotta, you gotta look at what's in front of you and what's in front of us right now is violence and the risk of
6:53 pm
a civil war inside shoot in which is in nobody's interest. and so we're focus right now on see if we can get that violence down so that we can have discussions that could lead to a transition to civilian authority in the future. you said what's different, what i would tell you was what's not different and what not different is the united states is going to remain committed to the sudanese people and a piece of security there. we've got to focus on the violence right now, but it doesn't mean that we're walking away from sudan or from the sudanese people, or from trying to see civilian authority once back put in place there in cartoon. the thing is how do you do that when the u. s. has closed its diplomatic mission, correct me from wrong here. the u. s. has no more diplomatic presence for you. does it not? no, nope, you're wrong about that. i mean, we don't have, we don't have the populated brand to actually have all your employees. so how do you have, how do you still have a diplomatic presence? we still have
6:54 pm
a diplomatic relationship with sudan that hasn't gone away. our diplomats will simply be working remotely. that's not unusual. we have evacuated temporarily, embassy personnel from other countries like syria, like yemen, and be able to put them back in when the time is appropriate. that will happen. all we've done is suspend diplomatic operations at the embassy. those diplomats want to get back to cartoon. and the president wants to see him back in cartoon, just as soon as possible. but ambassador godfrey are a master to sit and is going to continue to be our vascular to the end. he's going to continue to work the volunteer, still going to continue to to, to do his ambassadorial duties remotely. so when you suspend your diplomatic presence, how are you going to manage to get those americans who are still into don and who want to get out? how do you get them out without the, without a diplomatic presence, we already are working to get americans. you want to leave out, in fact, several dozen have already left using ground ground ground routes. i would remind
6:55 pm
you that the united states military is providing over watch, with unmanned aerial systems. we're watching over those ground routes. we've got a navy warship in the red sea, just off port sudan standing by to assist americans. you may want to leave or may need assistance in some regard. and of course our africa command, which is based in germany, has a d. confliction sell that we can continue to coordinate with allies and partners about helping them get their nationals out. i would also tell you that we're in touch with other countries who are evacuating their people and to some degree they have also helped get americans on plains and get them out of the country. so we are just a few days ago said that a wider effort after the 100 embassy stuff from cartoon were evacuated, the white house said the wider effort to airlift. other americans is unlikely in the next few days. know what we said was a u. s. military or a u. s. government assisted evacuation was not something that we were currently
6:56 pm
entertaining and that we did not believe that that situation would change. we're not ruling anything out, but there are no plans right now to conduct the u. s. military, a broader evacuation of american citizens. there aren't that many that expressed an interest you want to leave. and as i said, even today, and certainly yesterday, there were americans who were finding their way out of cartoon. john kirby big picture here. i mean, for the us, let's be honest. the security of navigation of the red sea is very important for the united states. so would it be in the interest off with the us rather one to see stability or democracy in su? done that with a 1st goal is gotta be get the violence down. that's what we want to see. and we want to see that happen as soon as possible. that's why the seatbar is important. but clearly we'd like to see a transition to civilian authority inside sudan, that's what the sudanese people have said they want, and we want to support their aspiration. right. so is it stability or democracy
6:57 pm
then? you it doesn't, it doesn't mean it has to be one of the other. that's a, that's a false choice. you can have both what we want to see, the sudanese people's aspirations seen and what they aspire to a course. there's fire to peace and security and stability, but they also aspire to return to civilian authority. and that's what we all want to see. we want to see what they want to see. just one more for you. i think we just have time for one more question, john kirby. so if the fire does not hold and the indications that we're getting on the ground is that it's faltering as we've discussed. so what are, what are your next steps? what's the us next steps? well, i won't get ahead to where we are right now. clearly we want to see the ceasefire fully implemented. the again i want to stress the violence is considerably down from what it was yesterday. so that's a good thing. yes, we are seeing some sporadic fighting and, and shelling and firing. we want to see it all stop our focus right now. as you and
6:58 pm
i are talking is getting that cease fire to be fully implemented and fully in place at least for the 72 hours so that we can reduce the violence and get humanitarian assistance in. and then of course, i'd like to see that if it can be held to extend, extend on current, be thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate your time at the finance. is there a thank you. thanks for watching the news. our were back in just a moment with much more of the day's news and all the latest headlines season. i care about helping us engages with the rest of the world. i cover foreign policy, national purity. this is a political im house. here the paul ford are with how in the good story we're really interested in taking you in to a place that you might not visit otherwise. and to actually feel as if you were there, jump into the screen. hence, percent of the population globally is responsible for about 15 percent of carbon emission joined the debate. people have already lost that lying people. how close that called just people. how those traditions have your say want to broaden this
