[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah ah, this is dw news live in from berlin to night. you as president joe biden, making it official. he wants 4 more years in office, vide made the announcement today with a video saying that he wants to finish the job. also coming up tonight,

fresh clashes threatened to append a shaky truce into dan millions, facing food and water shortages after more than a week of fighting between the army and rival paramilitary and israel marking 75 years of independence and the shadow of political chaos. protesters gathering once more to demand that the government drop its plan to weaken the judiciary. ah, i bring golf. it's good to have you with us on this tuesday. you as president joe biden, he has ended months in speculation, and officially announced that he will run for a 2nd term as us president. he launched his campaign today with a video posted online, promising to protect america's personal freedoms. by now, so announced vice president campbell,

a harris will again be his running mate. he wants to talk job again. when i ran for president 4 years ago, i said we're in a balance of the school mirror. and we still are. the question profession is with early years ahead, we have more freedom, we're less free, we're rates are fewer. i know i'm with you. so he can do to and joe biden had this, please have voters has finished. this is, this is nothing. biden 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. our support, if re gray 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 biden 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 that 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 the bite and we'll have a grueling path back to the white house. so let's get out to washington,

my colleague kelly griffin. she is following this story force because it's good to see you as president, making the case that his administration has some unfinished business. but when you look at his ratings poll numbers, how likely are voters going to give him a 2nd chance? well, that's a big question. i mean, is, is, and popularity ratings are more near what donald trunks were hovering, just above or below 40 percent. so that's not a strong sewing. there are lots of poles flying about here in the united states at the moment. i think there's one that's particularly telling and it shows that 56 percent of americans say they do not support biden and $65.00 say they do not support trump. now if we're heading towards yet another run off between the 2, and this cannot be right certainly. and this was also the speculation about turbine only started when donald trump declared,

and that is also widely seen as having been the signal for joe biden, who is reportedly feeling a very personal responsibility to push back what he says, the mag, our republican extremist danger for democracy as he keeps framing them. and so he's taking this very personal, he's running again. no, the polling don't show very high chances. but then you asked democrats who else? and then there's hardly anyone i mean to have already said they want to run against him in the primaries, but one of them is a kennedy, who nobody knows except for his name and the other one hardly anybody has heard of . so this is where he's heading, he's pretty safe to get that nomination and by we're to save 80 years old. if he were to win a 2nd term, he would be 86 years old. when he completes that term a bit he is, he would be as well then the oldest you as president in history, but he's basically the same age as donald trump. so our voters,

are they bothered by the fact that these 2 main contenders are definitely 80 plus yeah, i mean sometimes $76.00 or so he would be heading. yeah. he would also finish off in his early eighties, and yes, voters are bothered, and particularly with joe biden, who has appeared slightly frail in certain situations in public. he seems to have more of a point to prove than donald trump and who is also a master of orchestrating his appearances. infamously, really having a script essentially wanting to be brought before the court in handcuffs, to demonstrate and towards his support is not just his jealousy, but also that he needs to be held back and as so at age is an issue here, but it will be less so if it's these 2 men running against each other,

which looks fairly like at the moment, also, republicans, you do have a more serious contender, the governor of california for donald trump, but by no means do you have real generational change running against a sitting president at this moment in time, and that's also why the democrats appear to have run out with joe biden and backed him. and even those internal voices of criticism for saw are silent. now that joe biden went out and declared in this, we're talking about donald trump as well. we know that jury selection begins today in a civil case that involves sexual assault allegations against the former president . and that is not the only legal challenge that trump is facing. how could this impact his chances of winning the white house for 2024? that really is an interesting question because he's used in that 1st case also in

new york with which it was over the accounting behind a hush money payment that he clearly made. but he didn't labeled as such in his internal company accounts that wasn't in the house money itself. it was the way the accounting was done that cinnamon court. now it is this defamation lawsuit, it goes back to an allegations of rape in the 19 ninety's. but the big cases are still to gum, those relating to january 6th. those are relating to him making that, that infamous phone call to the door, the secretary of state, asking him to find those votes. that indictment is expected soon. so the case of you learnt about aunt in any kind of order of importance. and donald trump is so far been fairly successful in basically saying to his followers, this is a legal system that is working against him. and that is something he wants to stamp out, and that is an inherent problem here in the united states that state prosecutors

judges are all elected officials. so the independence of the dish judiciary is something that seems to be up for debate here in the u. s. at this moment in time, so it's too early to tell whether this will actually work against him or might wait work in his own favor. because this fits into his narrative. did always become a christian with a laser in washington the killers always thank you. let's have a look now, some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. the death toll from a series of explosions at a police station in pakistan has risen to 17. more than 50 people have been wounded in the glass which flattened the counter terrorism station, police blame and electric, short circuit at an ammunition warehouse within the facility. thousands of indigenous brazilians have taken to the streets of the capital, brazil. yeah. to demand the protection of their land and traditions, the march is part of an annual free land camp event. the demonstrators marched to

the national congress to call for action against the invasion of their territories by illegal loggers and fishers. a japanese started up hoping to carry out the 1st ever commercial moon landey has lost contact with its craft. the communications break down we understand happened shortly before touch down. now the fate of ice spaces. our crew to our lunar lander is unknown. part of its mission had been to test a new kind of battery in our u as a back here on earth in sudan renewed clashes, or threatening to up in the u. s. brokered cease fire between warring parties. on monday, the sudanese army and rival paramilitaries agreed to seize hostilities for 72 hours, but residents have reported ongoing gunfire and explosions inside the capital cartoon. parts of cartoon lion ruins. after 10 days of intense

battle, the fighting camp does a cease fire to cold early on cheese day. but fear still grips the sudanese capital . the world health organization has sounded the alarm a base, the potential biohazard. after pfizer sees the national public health laboratory in the city, that is extremely, extremely dangerous because we have audio attributes in the law. we have nieces has units on the law. we have quality as it should, is huge biological unless some hot tune residents have been waiting for days to board buses to take them out of the city. and the cost of tickets has sort for many has made it to safety. the ordeals far from over has been made home. this place over something that has nothing to do with between 2

men and their heavenly went to life. i mean, no, we're saying that really, really, mine is angry history to put in this position with har toombs main airport. a center of the fighting foreign citizens are being evacuated through alternative routes in risky operations. they've been describing the perilous days and hours before their rescue. yeah, we realized pretty quickly that there would be no more flights. and that we would have to stay in the hotel. because if you went outside, you would get shot. no question at all kind of progress. live ikea, c o o you that the commission was a rather difficult and over. because the fighting continued early. also during the of equation, the bacteria seattle on also. we heard gunshots and even planes,

although you may make fighters which bombed neighbourhood spake very close to where we were driving. he on ball that a big acre cafferty. there are concerns in sudan that the exit us of foreign nationals will encourage the warring generals to once again escalate. the conflict . turning and already dar humanitarian situation even worse and forcing hundreds of thousands of refugees to flee into neighboring countries. if a more now i'm joined by mohammed l name, he is a sudanese researcher in political and economic sociology at the university of cambridge mom. it is good to have you back on the program. you know, we're coming up now on almost 24 hours since this late of ceasefire began. i mean, can you tell us based on what you've heard? i mean, has the fighting stopped? well, i mean, yesterday i was asked if the ceasefire was going to hold and i expect skepticism

and i was i, i unfortunately woke up today to find that my skepticism was correct. the fighting hasn't stopped earlier on in the day that we heard alone. but in fact, like when you conflict has happened, and i was talking to my auntie earlier today. and she was telling me that in the background she could hear shelling and fighting. i know that you have been involved in of the pro democracy movement in sudan. what are your thoughts now when you look back at the past 10 days of fighting and you know, so many lives that have been lost? yeah, i mean, i expressed my frustration before and i was continued to express it. the pro moccasin movement was unrelenting in its demand for complete transition to democracy. it said it sounded the alarm about this potential conflict a long time ago, saying that we should be engaging in no partnership, no negotiation, no negotiations, and no legitimation of these 2 generals,

which the woman in the previous recording express so eloquently who are fighting right now. and the nice people appearing, paying the price. but the international community and international diplomats insisted on sidelining those for democracy voices throughout this whole political process. and provide confirming legitimacy, political and political legitimacy for these 2 generals. with the idea that exactly what has transpired wouldn't. and so i guess the feeling of someone who is engaged in the pro democracy movement is extreme frustration. and i hope that after this war is over, that we won't be returning to that kind of political and diplomatic orthodoxy which led us to dismiss them. the 1st place, well, we know that diplomats agencies, they've been pulling out of sudan evacuating. what does this mean for the sudanese civilian to have to remain in the country? i mean, it could, it could be even worse because without the pressure that the diplomat diplomat have

any inhibitions of total war and destruction will be removed and aerial, bombardments will be more indiscriminate and things will be more dangerous for most of the nice people now who even as they go on buses after buses to try to evacuate, whether through a few or child or sudan, or egypt or stocks, didn't have no guarantee that they'll even cross the border. so it's. a it's really terrifying prospects. us in these people, mohammed the name. we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us and sharing your insights tonight. thank you. thank you. retentions are running high in israel as it marks and 75 years of independence. it comes on the hills of memorial day, a day to remember the lives lost in war, as well as in milton attacks. it is usually a time when the country comes together. but this year they are also protest. thousands are gathered here until a leave to show their opposition to controversial judicial reforms which have

polarized the country. the events are also taking place amid a surge in violence between israel and palestinian. and d w as rebecca ritter, she is in the middle of those protests until of even rebecca talked to me about the turnout and what's happening there has actually been pretty good. i was speaking to one of the, of an organizes a little early i, he said, i don't know if there's a number that they stayed with tens of thousands here. and you can definitely see that behind me, it's only not one of the biggest that we've seen in the week that people have been coming out, but it is an important day. as you mentioned, it's memorial day going into independence day, which is now from 8 o'clock this evening into tomorrow. a really important time to come out

a lot more of it. it's evening and some of the people i broke into a charity for them to celebrate the things that i've been fighting for. and rebecca explained that to us that me, we've seen so much reporting about the political polarization of the country, the protests. why are people now so keen on coming out and celebrating her trying to get in a full i mean, does that make people? many of them have been coming a continue at a do . finally, point down on the united nation, you kind of get

a denied already w rebecca readers there until of eve, where the memorial day celebrations. morphing into independence day celebrations. rebecca, thank you. well, every year, malaria kills more than $600000.00 people. most of them children, that's according to the world health organization. but just as the w h r marks world malaria day, a new vaccine is raising hopes that the disease could some day be eradicated. nearly half of the world's population is at risk of contracting malaria. but 96

percent of malaria deaths occur in sub saharan africa. the new are 21 vaccine produced by oxford university is still in the final stage of trials, but got it. and jerry has already given it provisional approval. it joins an existing vaccine that has helped save lives. the trial suggested the new drug is much more effective, dw ah, kit, due to more, 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. as did some benito was is not for that scene. it was of the best buy you will have less weight very well. i mean, who started the vessel and if they would for they told me, 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 world her for can

a zation i'm. i know it's available for children in over 90 communities following a successful pilot projects in 2019 we started using robert long ago and 2 dates we've had issues when it comes to that you thought about it. and if it's one of them, i encourage every mother to come to lessen the c x box. hopefully let her know that you do already did it or not decided to come and help us, immunize the to the community again. you do? 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 cont benefits from it's expected higher 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, right. and before we have idea that is in bed. net must be to bed. so we cannot use only one method to say that we are advocating and malaria all mosquitoes. but we need to a harmonize the whole air videos to that we have this year. the world health organization is pushing for 0 malaria cases across the world. new vaccines will be key in a chip in these. these periods in ghana already seen the benefits the come bring in protecting the lives of the children. in for more now, i'm joined by linda ava, associate professor of immunology at the university of gone,

and she joins me now from aqua. frederick, good to have you withers. how significant of development are we talking about here in terms of preventing the spread of malaria in sub saharan africa? so we're making very whites and strides. and our control elimination program is implementing a lot of tools that government has put into vaccine. and so we are on the right track, we believe that very soon will be seen a very significant reduction in cases as well as death. nigeria has joined gonna in backing this new vaccine and, and doing so even before the w h. o has approved it, or how can we be sure that the vaccine is completely safe? so they have done some clinical trials and really good face to data that shows that

it is safe, it is effective, it is actually proven to be better than what we have right now. and with the evidence that is, and we, we actually are almost very sure that just based on previous results on the face to trial, that the vast thing is going to be just as good in our population. we know that more than 600000 people die every year from malaria, most of them in sub saharan africa. is it realistic? is it possible in your opinion, to achieve the goal of 0 malaria cases? there it is, but it's gonna take time. i mean, we all wish it could be right and immediate, but it's going to take a lot of time stuff from the fact that we need to have innovative tools such as this new fast that is coming. we also need to make sure that all the existing tools

i use effectively and that medicines that take in on schedule and appropriately, and then a lot of education and i believe that it will happen is just going to be is a process. and i think we actually get them, and i know we have political if that is still very important and you say it is a process i'm do you have kind of a time horizon that you're looking at me? when do you expect to be able to say how effective this new vaccine has been? so we're hoping that by 22, somewhere in 2024 or at least by 2025, we would have implemented the distribution of lessons and they use in the event. and i think given an extra to leave for 5 years,

we should see very, very good results. busy and then yeah, within the next 10 years, i think maybe i should be really mean we are aiming for elimination very soon, so we are hoping to get, well, i'm sure everyone listening wishes you lots of success and hope that the eradication comes sooner, rather than later professor linda, if i'm over, we appreciate your time today. thank you. thank you very much. harry belafonte, j, an entertainment giant who became the epitome of the celebrity activists, has died at the age of 90. 6 bellefonte began his groundbreaking, acting, and seeking career back of the 1950s winning a tony award for his story wrote and almanac achieving crossovers. it says with musical carmen, jo, elephantine, husky, voice, and caribbean, influenced albums earned him the title, the calypso, keen, but he forged his civil rights legacy in the night. he sixties,
