ah ah ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin, joe biden asks us vs for 4 more years. the u. s. president releases a campaign video formerly announcing he will stand for a 2nd term in the 2024 election. biden says he wants to finish the job, but many think the 8 year old is just too old to run again. also coming up
1:01 pm
a temporary truce and sudan has millions face food and water shortages after more than a week of fighting. the warring sides agree to a 3 day cease fire to allow for humanitarian aid. meanwhile, thousands of far enough. ah! my many troops mckinnon. thanks so much for joining us. we start with the news announce to in the last hour that joe biden will stand for a 2nd term as us president and vice president. pamela harris will again be his running mate. our campaign video, posted online today formally announced biden's 2020 for reelection bid in it biden asks voters to give him more time to quote, finish the job. he began in his 1st term, biden is already oldest us president. he would be $86.00 at the end of
1:02 pm
a 2nd term. many presidents in biden's position would be considered a shoe in reelection, but there are a number of things which could stand in his way. the w, i mean a thief has this report room. joe biden is taking his claim to be president once again. but we have more to do. he used his state of the union address to lay out a preview of his message to congress and voters. america is on the rebound. we have to do better. biden has been trying to project an image of strength and action. i'm happy to report that our economy has created over 300000 new jobs last month. and that's on top of a half 1000000 jobs. we had a month before abroad making the prize trip to here to mark one year since rushes invasion and delivering a speech in poland to assure steadfast us support. our support for grade will not waiver nato will not be divided and we will not hire biden has also been on the
1:03 pm
road at home here touting his economic plan in wisconsin here, celebrating a bridge project funded in part by its infrastructure plan. and here at the church in georgia where martin luther king junior once preached appealing to voters. observers say, biden believes he's on a role, especially after some important bipartisan victories last year. like the inflation reduction act, allocating hundreds of billions of dollars on climate and energy policy, and the chips legislation, the booth semiconductor manufacturing in the us. yet, despite those successes, president biden is facing some serious headwinds on his path to secure a 2nd term, including most recently the controversy over handling of classified documents fighting lawyers found classified materials from his time. as vice president triggering a special investigation and drawing comparisons to the scandal over the trade with documents found in donald trump's, he's also pretty unpopular biden's,
1:04 pm
mid term approval ratings matched former president trump at the same stage of his presidency. but they were lower than president obama, and then there's his age. he's already the oldest president and us history. if you want a 2nd term, he'd be $86.00 by the end of it. the republicans will do all they can to exploit the weaknesses to portray him as corrupt, unpopular and old, even some from his own party or worried. this ad featuring democrats from new hampshire, called on joe biden, to make way for a candidate with better chances for 2024. we can't afford to lose right, joe. don't run joe. don't run joe, don't run joe biden. and his team say he's already proven his detractors wrong, and that he and the democrats are a picture of unity and progress compared with a deeply divided republican party. the key test, who he will faith. it's not clear yet who will run for the republican, but biden will have a grueling path back to the white house. all right,
1:05 pm
let's get more on this from d. w reporter william glue croft biden has officially announced the plans to run for another term, but of course he still needs to get his parties official nomination. doesn't he? so is it going to be a smooth path to the count of the see for him? right, so we finally say by doing what we've long anticipated it was to now says his intention to run a 2nd for his 2nd term. of course we shouldn't be speculating. it's a very long road to the democratic national convention when he or the candidate would be nominated and of course longer still to the left itself in 2024. but we can look at history. i mean, generally the incumbent president gets his candidacy in the 2nd term. you have to go regional rather far back to you as history for when that wasn't the case, there is a rallying effect where the president given the amount of power and the amount of, you know, public prestige and the soap box effects affect the bully pulpit. so to speak,
1:06 pm
that the president enjoys a really does demand a lot of power and, and is the officially the head of the party. so there's a lot of coalescing around the candidate. so it's very likely that job i did, we'll be the democratic candidate, something very different, very a historical what have to happen or something very tragic would have to happen for him not to be the democratic candidate going to the what about sort of competition from any of the democrats, i mean, again, given his age, what about the fresh blood that could be coming out through the democratic party is an extra point. one job i ran in the 2020 camp and he said he was a bridge to a younger generation which hinted at this idea that he himself recognized that he was too old. not necessarily only in a health sense or in a frame of mind sense, but just too old that there needed to be new, new ideas, fresh letters, you say, new inspiration, not only for in democrat and the democratic party itself, but for american politics more generally, he hinted that he was just that bridge and here we have seen this so called bridge
1:07 pm
getting extended a bit, which is a reflection. one could say about the lack of new blood, if not for some democrats in the democratic party, but in american politics overall. bernie sanders actually had an interview recently . bernie sanders, you'll remember ram in 20162020 as a very successful popular candidate, but also late did not clinch the candidacy for democratic party. and he attracted a lot of young voters as well. and he was recently quoted, and i think a new york magazine interview where people say, well, are you going to run again, any sort, of course i'm way too old. there are many other people out there. let's get some new people in there. and so clearly biting to see something out in the political landscape, united states that's making him think, you know what, there's not going to be that new blood, not just yet. i need to continue building this bridge to some new generation to someone else is ready to take over. so as you said, it's a long way to go before the nomination and the election. but what would a 2nd divide in administration? offer the u. s. off of the american people,
1:08 pm
i mean beyond any specific policy point or initiatives, you know, by the way, you know, he's really state his claim on this idea of democracy. securing democracy at home during democracy abroad is a very big statement. he seems to kind of set himself up as the defender of american democracy, that without him, the trump in the so called maga, people that make america great again from supporters would sort of take over and we see, you know, the kinds of people that you watch this, this attack on the u. s. capital on january 2nd, it's sort of overrun the country in fighting the world. so there's this idea that we still need bided to protect americans to, to promote american democracy at home and abroad. there's a very, you know, you don't have to buy into that. of course, a lot of his opponents and even critics within his own party would say, step aside, joe, as we heard in that report from ami and just now this movement with a democratic party itself, the step of silent other people. a step in what we've seen a, you know, he's been a fairly successful president for all of the divisions and political and partisan
1:09 pm
divisions. there's been a surprising amount of bipartisan consensus. we heard in that report just now the chips act inflation reduction that the covert relief us. no more muscular boulder response to china, of course is plenty of room to discuss whether these are the right policies, but these are effective policies. but nonetheless, we have seen bipartisan support for many of these issues. and many of these points on the vide an agenda. and of course, his argument would be, i can actually bring the country together. and that's what is page is going to be for 2024. and we will be watching closely w. william blue cross. thanks so much for that analysis. the u. s. secretary of state antony blinkin, says sedans, warring parties have agreed to observe a 72 hour ceasefire that took effect at midnight. local time. previous truce efforts have failed. that blinkin said the u. s. is urging both sides to comply
1:10 pm
with the agreement. food and water supplies in and around the capitol cartoon are running low and fighting between the army and paramilitary forces is spreading 3 residential areas. sedans, capital cartoon has been a battle ground. hundreds of lost their lives and thousands wounded. with the army and paramilitaries battling for control of the country, those remaining in the city are finding basic supplies, like food and water, are becoming ever more scarce. power cuts and communications disruptions and are common place. hospitals are thrown into chaos with medical supply chains disrupted, impatience la stranded. this kidney, dialysis patient hasn't received treatment for 9 days, wasn't for your own have also we are very tired. we hope that god helps the country and protects it. we're so tired. my potassium levels are high, my kidney function is high and there is no dialysis recalling on the authorities to
1:11 pm
find a solution for those who need medical help. so i didn't know that anthony. meanwhile, foreign governments continue evacuation efforts. this un convoy carried around $700.00 staff from cartoon to port suden on a 35 hour journey to safety. un secretary general antonio gutierrez, said sudan would not be abandoned. allow me to let me be clear. united nations is not leaving, sue, then. our commitment is to the sudanese people in support of their wishes for a peaceful and secure future. we stand with them at this terrible time and it's not just foreigners fleeing the country. tens of thousands of sudanese across the borders into neighboring countries. a great fear, a refugee crisis, would put further strain and already stretched humanitarian supplies. and for those remaining in sudan, they can only hope that this time the ceasefire lasts not now shed as a journalist,
1:12 pm
his following the development in through dawn from cairo given several si, fi as have failed in recent weeks. he told me earlier, why this one seems to be holding so far. i think there's 2 things that are still a bit different. i think there was a this that was built on leads from feedback from some foreigners that needed somewhat of a law from the previous from the previous cease fire that was actually violated. and they're building off of that so far as the country. it seems that you know, it's wrapping up western pressure, us pressure in particular. nevertheless, it is better sign a good sign. but there is a fire. it's suggested. both parties do somewhat control the courses for now and that this is possible. next step is to ramp up humanitarian operations immediately . well, there's a window to do so and do you think that the fees fire will make
1:13 pm
a difference and will people use it to, to, to leave? i mean, also how dangerous is it right now trying to get out of the country? yeah, people are going to use this opportunity to leave. i think they're also going to, i think they were also trying to leave because they didn't see an opportunity to 2448 hours ago to do so. so absolutely. people that can go are trying to get out. and i think that shows just the lack of faith for them. how much is moving forward in terms of the danger is incredibly dangerous. we're hearing reports particularly crowded on the northern egypt, while women and the elderly and children can get into egypt without a visa. and cannot they need to buy for one of the conflicts of the city posted for one 3rd. and you know, as a result of that, as
1:14 pm
a result of that, you would build up at the border. huge military concerns related thing i wanted to ask you about the lack of internet connect connectivity in the country. apparently it's around 2 percent of the normal level. why is this? and more importantly, how are people getting any information if they can't get it through the internet? yeah, you're right. i think the result of that was just in the war to and damaged that the towers of internet providers accordingly. so collectivity was significantly compromise in terms of how people are getting information. i think there can, you know, there's, there's not a way to compensate for, you know, networks that are built online or to help people navigate. that said there are in your network. so people are going to rely on word of mouth and rely on these informal networks, among the communities of things from,
1:15 pm
you know, procure movie members. but where say, what makes you know, what makes sense which rose trap along and where conflict is and then you get a time, you know, on. ready trying to get out of the country, so that seems to be what people have no choice but rely on and that's proven effective, but still by compromising that there's no not in kyra, thank you so much for your time. we appreciate it. thank you as well or i, let's have a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. israel is marking it's memorial day to on a fallen soldiers and victims of millison attacks. the event began monday evening. it comes ahead of independence day celebrations, starting tuesday evening, which mark the countries 75th anniversary. this year's events come against the backdrop of deep political divisions and a surge and violence between israelis and palestinians. a mob been hazy,
1:16 pm
his capital has beaten and burned to death. sir scene suspected gang members. public anger is high in response to the gang driven lawlessness that has taken over put to pass. the un is warning. the insecurity in the city has reached levels similar to countries at war. thousands of indigenous brazilians have taken to the streets of the capital priscilla to demand the protection of their land and traditions. the march is part of the annual free land camp event. the demonstrators march to the national congress to call for action against the invasion of their territories by illegal loggers and fishermen. and the swiss banking giant u. b. s has reported a profit drop of 52 percent for the 1st quarter as due to higher expenses related to ongoing litigation in the u. s. u b. s was recently forced into taking over failing competitor credit suisse. that deal will be completed over the next few
1:17 pm
weeks. now, every year, malaria kills more than $600000.00 people. and most of those are children. that's according to the world health organization. but just as the w h o is marking world malaria day, a new vaccine is raising hopes that the disease could one day be eradicated. maybe half of the world's population is at risk of contracting malaria. but 96 percent of malaria deaths occur in the sub saharan africa region. the new are 21 vaccine produced by oxford university in the u. k. is still in the final state of trials, but garner and nigeria have already given it provisional approval. now it joins an existing vaccine that has helped save lives. the trials are suggesting the new vaccine is way more effective. d w's. isaac colored the reports now from gonna,
1:18 pm
ah, it's due tomorrow, has brought his son to this hospital to get his next dues of an anti malaria vaccine. kit is happy, his son has access to this protection. he has got some money. no one is not for that sealed off of the bus by you can give us a very good wolf. i mean, who started the vessel and if they would for they told me, yeah, it's so damned to prevent them from getting malaria. he's one of the lucky keats getting the r t s. s vaccine, which was approved by the word her for conversation i'm. i know it's available for children in over 90 communities following a successful pilot project in 2019 we started using robert long ago and 2 dates we've not had issues when it comes to that you so got it. and if it's one of them, i encourage every mother to come to us in the c x box. hopefully,
1:19 pm
let us know if you do already or not decided to come and help us, immunize the children to help me with ghana has sticking eluding rule in the fight against malaria. in addition to our t. s. s, the food and drugs authority recently also approved. then you are to, into one oxford vaccine become in the fest in africa to do so. the vaccine is still in trial. so the news will have to wait before the con, benefits from it's expected high rates of protection. health activities. see, despite these new tools, the roots of the problem lay stagnant water, where malaria, barry mosquitoes, breed also need to talk lean. we have iris that is indoor received raspberry and before we have i t that is in bed nit mostly to bed mit so we cannot use all one method to say that we are right. it is in air and malaria all
1:20 pm
mosquitoes. but we need to a harmonize the hall or zeroes to go. we have this year, the world health organization is pushing for 0 malaria cases across the world. new york things will be key in a chip in these, these period in ghana already seen the benefits the come bring in protecting the lives of their children. but canals is a vector biologist whose research focuses on mosquitoes and the diseases they transmit. he lived in east and southern africa for 11 years, and he put the high number of deaths from malaria in that region into perspective for us. oh it's it's, it's absolutely tragic. i mean there's, there's no 2 ways about i think the world, the world has experienced colbert. so we've learned a lesson. but that lesson has been there always in sub saharan africa. when we talk
1:21 pm
about malaria. i mean, the impact of that disease alone has been devastating, has really stopped the continent from progressing significantly. and i think with the new tool that we're getting, including the new vaccines that are there, i hope of. finally, this is going to change and that the, the content is going to pick up with the rest of the world. eve made very clear there that a disease doesn't only affect individuals affect society, the development of a whole country. so. so is your feeling about this new vaccine that it could be truly transformative? there is, there is so much bad news these days and fortunately, this is indeed very good news for the law are 7 years we've pretty much been stagnant. we've not made any significant more gains in terms of reducing the number of case than the number of deaths due to malaria. but with these new vaccines, the artist asked vaccine that was just mentioned,
1:22 pm
but particularly there are 21 vaccine, which indeed is a lot more effective use a lot more protection to the tool. and again, these action there is real hope that we can significantly start reducing the number of deaths due to disease. and once you start doing that, once you get a healthier society, you go to experience that instantly families are going to reduce in size. you're going to get fewer children, families, if you are children or they're going to get better education, very, she means better work as means better income. so the whole society is going to transform. once you introduce a vaccine against malaria that is truly affected. i didn't want to ask you, obviously a variety of factors lead to outbreaks of malaria including poor sanitary conditions, for example. so simply vaccinating more people will this help to potentially completely eradicate as disease. i would,
1:23 pm
i would say at this stage that we will need a packet to we will need an integrated package of a variety of tools in order to try and bring down malaria to 0 and keep it there. there is not a single place in africa where we have succeeded in doing this so far. we have done in other parts of the world, but in sub saharan africa, particularly difficult, but the combination of the to the use of improper vaccine with the use of a new generation of benefits that have just been released by w h o to new bets are on the market, including the indoor residual, spraying that was mentioned and having proper diagnostic tools in place and drugs that are still effective once you have an integrated package. once you have a full toolbox, you can really have a go or disease and try and see if in different parts of the content, you can start, you know, eliminating it and eventually hopefully eradicating it. but i mean, that does sound incredibly and hopeful, but of course, as another factor isn't that as people's attitudes towards vaccines and how did
1:24 pm
people in the areas that are most effective, how are they open to being and their children being vaccinated? research research has shown. so far that there is a very good receptive 80 to as a new vaccine. the impact of this disease has been so dramatic for decades and decades. that is, that people are really longing for something that they can use to target this disease. to tackle the disease, it is clear the facts on the table for every dollar that we invest in rolling out something against malaria, we will have a return of $6.00 coming back to us. so it is shortly feasible, investing lots of money in doing this activity by having proper community engagement, community awareness of these new vaccines. we can get a lot of people to adopt this vaccine for their children. and in doing so,
1:25 pm
once people start to see that mortality child mortality is going down, i think the acceptance of a will just progress more and more and more. and eventually we can really start hammering down this terrible disease. let me finish with this question. we're looking to the future, are you confident that the world will get rid of malaria? if you go online, you look at all the big players to w joe the global funds gates on. there's lots of these organizations. they all claim on their websites that by 2030 or 2040 latest the world will be free of malaria. i think that is in my view over the optimistic i think it's gonna take longer than that. there are places that are really hard to have access to if we're talking about places, whether civil unrest, when there are civil war. when there's dense job, it's just hard to get to people to vaccinate or do malaria control. it's gonna take time. but once we start getting our gains into place, once we nibble under the house own in the north, once we nibble from the south,
1:26 pm
and what's one on the, maybe we get rid of malaria there. i think the world will become more confident, more enthusiastic, and don't money will be ordered to getting rid of this. this ancient school thought canals a vector biologist and malaria specialist. it's been a real pleasure speaking to you. thanks so much for your time. my pleasure. now before we go a cinema in alaska had an unexpected visitor for it's evening's showings, and here is a moose. wandered into the lobby, started sniffing around. what was that delicious smell? i hear you ask. well, it was popcorn of course, and the moose did not wait to be offered and started helping itself. but it clearly wasn't so keen on any of the films being shown. it only hung around for about 10 minutes before slowly making its exit watching daily news live from the berlin coming up next kickoff with bundis legal
