a temporary truce, and sudan as millions face food and water shortages often more than a week of fighting the warring sides agree to a 3 day ceasefire. to allow for humanitarian aid. ah, my manuscripts mckinnon. thanks so much for joining us. we start with the news that joe biden will stand for a 2nd term as us president. he formerly announced his re election bed with the campaign video, posted online early on tuesday morning. at biden, also announced that vice president cabella harris will once again be his running mate. he wants the top job again. when i ran for president 4 years ago, i should have been from school america, english to war. the question profession is whether in the years ahead we're more,

really more, less for were rates are fewer i knew i was using with he can do to ensure vite and had this please have voters has finished. this is this with biden has been trying to project an image of strength and action abroad. he's been showing his support for ukraine in its will. with russia, our support for grey will lot waiver nato will not be divided and we will not tire . biden has also been on the road at home here, touching his economic plan in wisconsin. or here, celebrating a bridge project funded in part by his infrastructure plan, observer se bite and believes he's on a role, especially after some important bipartisan victories last year. but he's also facing problems. his lawyers found classified material from his time as vice president triggering a special investigation and during comparisons to the scandal over documents found

in donald trump's home. he's also pretty unpopular biden's approval ratings fell to 39 percent this month. nearing the lowest level of his presidency so far, and then there's his age. he's already the oldest president in us history. he won a 2nd time. he'd be $86.00 by the end of it. republicans will do all they can to exploit these weaknesses, to portray him as corrupt, unpopular, and old. the key test who he will face is not clear yet who run for the republicans, but bitin will have a grueling path back to the white house. i all studying correspondent, mika, christina in washington, d. c. y j bye, made the announcement to run for another term in office. now actually, that is an interesting question. and there were of many betz going on here in d. c. whether he would wait it out,

wait even longer trying push this potentially even after the debt ceiling route that he currently has with the republicans here we needs to raise the deb sitting so the us doesn't default on its own debt. he's chosen at this moment in time. speculation here is the big donors are lining up money already now and he has no illusions that he will need plenty of money for what is expected to be a re run of a. so down between him and donald trump. so what are the poll saying about his chances? i mean, as we've been, simon, he's already 80 years old. after a 2nd term, he'd be $86.00. yes, a lot of criticism is focusing on the whole age question. donald trump, himself is $76.00, though it's not that terribly much younger. at the same time, you see here a lot of concerns whether he can actually get through

a campaign. one has to bear in mind that the 1st campaign he ran against on term was under pandemic conditions. a lot of the campaigning was simply done via video. it was out of his own basement in his home in delaware. now this is going to be a different campaign. he is the, the president no longer just the vice president in the past. he is actually going to fulfill that job and be out on the campaign trail. that's what a lot of concern focuses on at the same time. now that he's gone ahead and declared, you can expect those critics to completely be silenced. there are no illusions in the democratic camp that it will take one line full backing of do by at this moment in time to once again potentially beat donald trump, who is leading the field on the republican side by but by no means nominated already. i did just want to ask you because there are 2 other candidates running for the democratic nomination, but they really don't stand

a chance against biden. do they? not really. and one of them is a cat. kennedy, he's pretty much going on the name of greater politicians. the other one is virtually unheard of the international. they are not expected to really have much of a chance. the real contenders, like gavin newsome, the governor of california who was expected to potentially run what he already said . if turbine is running, he won't even entertain that very idea. and that's expected pretty much across the board. so we don't really expect any serious movement there. it will be more interesting on the republican side where you have a serious contenders there. so this is by no means already made do well again, although the wide expectation is that we are likely to see a re run and some already talking of the most boring primary season in history. but

at the same time, pointing to the fact that this could, again be the most important one, because as joe biden is framing this, he's framed this as a fight for freedom. interesting, donald trump is pretty much doing the same in doe biden. sees this as a fight for democracy, and that's also why he argues that he hasn't finished his job. that he wants feels he wants to secure democracy in the united states and the freedom of individuals, women's rights, to an abortion. also lesbian and gay is everybody to be included in what is his idea of a free america and trying to find the democrats as the only ones who can secure that is mckayla tiffany in washington dc. thank you so much. okay, let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world at this hour. israel is marking its memorial day, her honor fallen soldiers and victims of militant attacks. the event began monday

evening and it comes ahead of independence day celebrations. which starting tuesday evening, these 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 in haiti's capital has beaten and burned to death. 13 suspected gang members. public anger is high in response to the gang driven lawlessness that has taken over but to pass. the un is warning that 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 the territories by illegal loggers and fishermen. and the swiss banking giant u. b. s as reported,

a profit drop of 52 percent. 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 is expected to be completed over the next few weeks. a u. s. secretary of state antony blank and says sue dons at warring parties have agreed to observe a 72 hour ceasefire that took effect at midnight local time. pre previous truth efforts have failed. that blinkin said the united states is urging both sides to comply with the agreement, food and water supplies in and around the capital ha, to are running low and fighting between the army and paramilitary forces is spreading through residential areas. so don's 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 the stranded. this kidney, dialysis patient hasn't received treatment for 9 days, wasn't for your family, 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 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 sudan on a 35 hour journey to safety. un secretary general antonio gutierrez,

said sudan would not be abandoned alone. 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 groups fear a refugee crisis would put further strain on already stretched humanitarian supplies. and for those remaining in sudan, they can only hope that this time the ceasefire lasts. and we can speak now to someone who has 1st hand experience of being evacuated from sudan. christina worse works for the gem thinktank the for the he watched if don't, she was based in her tomb but was evacuated on sunday and joins us now from berlin . welcome to d. w. thank you for joining us. can you give us

a sense of how difficult the situation was in sudan when you were there and what it was like when the fighting began? yeah, hi, thank you for having me. well, the situation was and is much tougher for millions of sit in these women and children and men still trapped in hard to or on the run for safety than for me, i was fairly privileged with stocks force and food and generated to run. nevertheless, it was, it was very difficult experience in sitting at home with strong listening to the soundtrack we're trying to ascertain is that coming close to is that going away? what may they target to that gave me also very new appreciation off. what, for example, refugees that have to go through before they before they reach basically europe. so it was, it was scary. it was, it was also a very it was helpful for the job that organizations like

f, as i doing. i'm currently resembles a ghost town with a 1000 lean shops closed due to cell with clinics overwhelmed or not operational anymore. and power outage is still wide spread, some militia, a looting private houses. so that was also a concern that we had shops and national international organizations are also being looted and is not helpful that international embassies and the process of evacuating, not having these is and eyes on the ground any more could enable the 2 generals to even up the war with impunity. you lived in saddam for several years. i understand . do you see the possibility of a peaceful, negotiated solution to this conflict where there is a 72 hours sci fi going on right now? and i do hope that this window is being used by german and international politicians and to promote not only to ship out more international,

but also to press for negotiations and possibly sitting down the 2 generals in a sad potty country. for example, suppose both however, have adopted quite a hard line with regarding the goals of this war. so it may be hot to bag down from this, the best position to use some leverage, maybe regional powers, some of which i will say allies of the general. there should be a strong interest of those powers not to have this escalate because the horn of africa is already a very insecure area. and having this will going on, could mean that it basically that it escalates into other countries via the ethnical and tribal traveling into connected border areas. so let's hope that this window is being used in that way. all right, christina louis from the finish. e, but steph stone, thank you so much for your time. welcome. you are watching
