president pamela harris will again be his running mate. he bones the top job again . when i ran for president 4 years ago, i should have been from school mirror. and we still are. the question profession is whether the years ahead. we have more freedom, we're less free. we're rates are fewer. i don't, i want the asian if you can do to and job i'd and had this, please have voters has finished. this is, this is nothing by dan has been trying to project an image of strength and action abroad. he's been showing his support for ukraine in its war with russia. 8 our support for gray will lot waiver naida 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. observe essay 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 chest, who he will face is not clear yet who run for the republicans. the biden will have a grueling path back to the white house. this official announcement has long been

expected, but is there something to its timing? i put that question to dw shannon cook now in washington. but it's very interesting that he didn't declare earlier, and that he didn't sit tight and wait until he's resolved what he has to resolved, or which is the struggle between him and the republicans in up on capitol hill to resolve the debt ceiling issue. to raise that debt ceiling. so the united states doesn't default on its debt, which could happen as soon as this summer. so now this could be used against him as a potential candidates because one thing's for sure. donald trump certainly does not want to see a rematch of that dwell between him and joe biden, that he lost in the past. both aren't yet officially nominated. they all still have to face primaries, but this is where this is headed. and the key reason to declare now and not later

seems to be that joe biden needs to start lining up money. those big donors expected to descend upon washington dc. pretty soon to talk financial strategy of what could be a very long and growling campaign. the joe biden has been making the case that his administration has unfinished business, but given his ratings that we saw in that report just now, how likely to think american voters are to give him a 2nd term. yeah, that's the interesting question. well, more than 50 percent, 56 percent, according to some polls say that they wouldn't vote for him for joe biden. upwards of 65 percent say they wouldn't vote for donald trump. now, these simply cannot translate into a lecture results in the end. if both were to run, so he seems to be a slightly more popular certainty than donald trump. at the same time, there is a lot of criticism, particularly looking into the future, his age,

him being $86.00 at the end of a potential 2nd term. and that is something that the republicans also eagerly pointing out, although they have to be careful because their own potential kind of donald trump is heading towards ac pretty fast as well. but if you speak to younger policy, they said the younger democrats and less than 25 percent want to see him run again . but at the same time, in many say that he outperformed their expectations, which went that high to start with. but he did initiate debt forgiveness program for graduates here in the united states. although that has run into some difficulty . he did get this huge infrastructure package through many didn't really believe he would be able to get such landmark legislation through freeing hundreds of billions of dollars in investment, creating jobs here in the country. so he does have a pretty strong record to point out, but that really wasn't at the focus of his pitch, his pitches,

he needs to defend democracy in the united states, and that he's the only one who could do it. and it looks like his democrat party is certainly found the rallying behind him. now that he's declared, thank you so much for that analysis that need obviously kalika now for us in washington dc. and biden's announcement comes as jury selection is set to begin today in a civil case against former us president donald trump. it's just one of many legal proceedings and investigations that trump is facing. the former magazine columnist egypt carol accuses donald trump of raping her in a department store dressing room in the 1990. she's also serving for battery. trump has said he has never met carol. he's not excited to hear in the courtroom. trump also faces criminal charges from the new york district attorney, as well as other investigations into his business practices and alleged election interference. because over to d, w correspondent,

s if joining us from new york on the and can you tell us more about this lawsuit? first of all, there it's a civil lawsuit. the trump is not facing any criminal charges here. eugene carol carol is suing him for battery and defamation were battery claims. go back to the mid ninety's. when carroll alleges that trumpet followed her into a lady's dressing room, asking her to try on women's, where for him, and then went into the changing room itself, where nobody could see them and proceeded to rape her. now she didn't go public with this until 2019, at which point trump alleged on social media that she had made this up, that she had lied just for personal gain because she was writing a book. and he said that somehow this would help sell her book. so she's also suing and for confirmation on that. carol has also a previously sued former president. trump, can you tell us what makes this case different, right, in 2019 after donald trump been elected president,

she sued him for defamation. she could not bring charges of rape against him because the statute of limitations had long expired. on this decades old allegation, but new york passed a law last year allowing adults survivors of sexual assault. they allowed them a window of one year in order to bring claims a civil lawsuit against their legend perpetrators. eugene carol filed lawsuit a just after midnight when this law took effect because she said it was important to find him guilty of sexual assault, not just information. i mentioned that comes as trumpet, facing other legal challenges. can you tell us what else he's looking at right now? somebody? it's a long list. claire, just to give you a few examples, you facing criminal charges in connection with money paid to important star. he's facing people fraud lawsuit in new york. faith in criminal investigation to election interference in georgia related to the 2020 election chasing

a federal investigation because of holding classified documents and mar logo. and he's facing a federal investigation into the role in instigating the capital rights on january 6. now his opponents and critics, the, this as a long list of evidence that trumping the criminal, but to supporter those who will possibly vote for him in the next election against biden. they see this is evidence that he's being politically persecutors. thank you so much for that update. that's our correspondent. i mean, as if in new york, let's go to sudan malware. renewed clashes are threatening to up and the u. s. brokered cease fire between war and parties. the sudanese army and rival permit latrice had agreed to cease hostilities for 72 hours beginning at midnight on tuesday. but residents have reported ongoing gunfire and explosions in the capital . cartoon. many civilians are still trapped there with food and water running low. sir don's capital cartoon has been
