a where the you and in command is the so us all just you see there are not actually united states or is they work with united nations command. so are the south korean soldiers there? would you see positions there once in a while, a tour there will be made orientation towards the end on one of those orientation drugs allegedly, the soldier crossed voluntarily. that's very important for the us to point this out at this point, into north korea. and he is believed to be detained by north korea. now one interesting thing to know is that comes at a strategically really symbolic day today, because at the same time, this happens um the 1st in decades, the 1st u. s. nuclear capable submarine is making actually port in south korea. so that is something the north koreans are not very happy about and has mentioned before that they're not happy about. no, i don't make a connection here, but it is interesting. one other thing is to know if our view is,

is that the soldiers positions there while they are touring, or while they are stationed there to secure this joint military uh, area a security area. they are not wearing weapons. that is since 2018 south korea, north korea agreed upon that that the soldiers there do not wear any weapons. that's what we know so far. but of course, you know, by the hour, there is more information probably coming out during the course of the day. now is this a 1st or has something this happened before or well, you know, there's a very uh, infamous incident from 1976 where to your soldiers actually died. they were bludgeoned to death by north korean citizens or soldiers because they tried to a deep forest, a tree, main cutting down the tree and the north tree. and so like this. so they killed those to us all just in the big crossing, but legal crossing the totally different context of a recent times there was of called don't of course donald trump meeting came your

own at, at this very spot at the secure military security joint security area. and stepping over the board to shake hands, but that a us soldier voluntarily or not cross us deliberately into north korea. not a reason history that this is definitely most back in washington. thank you very much. and now let's have a look at some of the other news making headlines around the world flood roles as have reached the goal of the taj mahal for the 1st time in more than 40 years. the monument sits on the bank. so if the swollen yamuna river, unusually heavy rainfall, this monsoon season has triggered flooding. unplanned slides across a little in india, a bogs that will house up to 500. the asylum seekers has arrived at a port in england in this column and has passed

rebecca of it, is at the protest. intel of youth and gave us the latest from the signing of one of the central train station in tel aviv. it's one of several stations across the country where the project taking place as we speak. as you mentioned, there purchased the numerous phase of been happening since 630 this morning, all across the country. and you know that these demonstrations have been happening for 7 months. now. i may say they've disruption then tend to spike when we're getting close to advise. and as you said, and you'll need on the lady that the party is coming as early as next week. we're expecting the 2nd and 3rd reading of another portion of the bill and that is what part test is here. a trying to this, rob, as i'm protest, is here at this transportation has been prevented from coming up. but then we're hearing from the police. some people saying it's from the train stops, not exactly clear what's happening, but some people have been prevented. service protest, call. it doesn't look that big behind me is certainly very powerful. as i say,

tens of thousands of people as they are at protests like this across the country. rebecca, this protests being going on for months now. are there any signs that the government is actually listening? well, yes and no. it's hard to say the they were very effectual in earlier in the year at the end of the last semester session, when prime minister benjamin netanyahu. so i think it said defense administrative. i'll be at temporarily. as it turns out, he thought i the defense minister and there was a mass full speaking out. sorry, i should say you 5 a defense minister because the defense broke out against the visual report. and then the protesters really came out and i went back to back then a few months ago in hosting opposing the judicial reform. because now the government, the coalition, benjamin netanyahu on the pressure from his coalition members to push forward with the reform. the protests are out on the cold they're,

they're really hoping that they're going to be able to affect the same amount of change. the president of israel, i that kind of talk is in america and everyone here including the prime minister's, urging the president to bring that message. the rest is that they're not happy with a referral to the prime minister to the president of the united states. back here, which is the quote from taylor before us. thank you very much. rebecca. has rebecca mentioned that israel's president is a cap, so is in washington for adults with abiding administration the us as soon as israel's closest ally bought relations happen strange by the expansion of settlements in the occupied westbank and the government's controversial. traditional revolt the u. s. and this one has long had close and frankly, political ties, despite differences of a settlement policy and the treatment of the palestinian territories. common security and geo political interests have prove it to the hearts as prime minister benjamin netanyahu, his latest political course. the relationship has become more difficult,

although presidential bite and just invited mister nathan young to the white house . he has also been open to the critical of the new controversial writing government . he said in an interview, i am one of those that believes israel is almost a security risk for 2 state solution. there was some very extreme elements in the government, us. and so it's not prime minister benjamin netanyahu, who will be at the capital to mark is rode 75th anniversary. instead of really president iso counsel court addresses congress in a joint session. this could you saw it and then you all government and it slides to reform that additional rate system. but also that efforts to find a compromise between the government and opposition. and israel compromised seems hard to come by, huge demonstrations against proposed traditional reform. so dominating the streets, the country's deeply divided over the political part of the new government.

something uh, i asked for boons, the form of global engagement director at the obama. why tell us how he sees the future of us is riley relationship? i think that us is real relations are, are at a for still work low and this speech is going to be designed to repair. some of the damage done both by a prime minister netanyahu, as well as members of his cabinet, who are on the outer extremities. of the political spectrum of israel. so this visit really is designed to start and re, to repair some of those broken bridges. then president tassel addresses congress. here. he'll be trying to balance his own feelings about the government at home. there's a need to strengthen the americas crucial friendship with israel. i, a new experimental drug is offering, hoping to fight against all time assess

the truck are at least as promising the nation for the government. and uh, nothing is ever as good as it seems that's look at the side effects which can be quite serious as the as talk of swelling of the brain. micro bleeds, do the benefits outweigh the risks? so that's something which means also the patient is assigned. um, i would say this is something that has to be thinking patients and a doctor, whether it was being done by just want to participate in perspective. there are 4 serious jesus. uh, almost all drugs website x, i think as many drugs return using advanced search. um, the 2nd thing i would like say is it's the 1st drug and i didn't have anything. so the 1st source always less concerned that x, y. so this is really opening a new, a new in a for alpha and now the, the america,

eli lilly is pushing for fost approval of this drug. do you think that been enough clinical studies? no, it's not. it's not, it's close to construct. they are fully most of the have before and after the 1st day that's on their face to trial. but this has been postponed and now they are following the bus contract for approval of a new drug for that finished the big phase 3 trials, which basically conforms everything this interface to trial. and so there's nothing, nothing up moment here or are or foster then that'll be sending you over to jeff. and of course, what we need to do now is spence, the surface is, is approved and goes into the clinic. a follow up space has to be done to determine which patients are the best candidates for this truck. and where the truck is probably not going to work. so i spent many trucks. lucio defines the death of jennifer coming can. let's put it into perspective, how big do you think of

a breakthrough? this is as i convey to be the sort of litigation for it's like got 30 years ago. i was a medical doctor and there was nothing for x. and then the 1st 3 dark skin, there was a lot of resistance all sort of that time and i'm hesitant because the results were less spectacular than everybody else. and so that's and he is nature. we have perfect fall. we have fantastic mitigation for x. and i think this project to here is similar, and i'm quite sure about it because it's a complete independent confirmation of the driver. and so as long as 6 months ago that it got on the body is a very similar type of thing. but to completely independent generations in a constituent, independent, a group of patients and it's work. so it's not it's, it's hard for science here. if you think about your patients,

do you think it would help a lot of them? i don't see patients, i'm a, i'm a scientist or i left to practice years ago. but this was a big question yesterday also after meeting all much of proteins outbound that you have for me. and that's again something which is subject. and, but i think that the many people who are after initial stage of the disease would be very happy that i'm getting months or years of, of better life and post on the disease. and that's what we have of office pro for that direct health. the dimension of research center to invest the colors london. thank you very much for sharing your expertise with us. as was supposed to is now the future of expensive international bolting events. australia is co hosting the women's world cup this month, but they have pulled out of hosting the 2026 commonwealth games. the state of

athens, greece, right? remember that hundreds of stadium, so that's a huge loss for the local government. locals don't want it in their backyards either. some they've been polling done. you know, if you're not as 40 to do this, this could be a huge hassle. a huge delay in just your basic commute and your basic daily life. when you look at pro tests, there been evictions, you know, going back to brazil, china there just a number of reasons why cities would be reluctant to host and a pull out and, and then the last but not least, political instability could be a reason as well. uh, corruption concerns. now other places that are still open to hosting events like this. yeah. one region in particular, one nation in particular, saudi arabia, you know, uh, the money you know seems to be english. you know, in this particular region big there's been a long time of pursuit to take over major sports. you can look at formula one boxing most recently golf, this huge merger. you know, that caused

a lot of the times there's already infrastructure built up. so there's less investment. you're going to build new stadiums and so forth. so i do believe this will be the trend. i don't see any reason why it will change. well, it sounds like a reasonable plan, any way across having to do that useful. it's thank you. thank you. he was going to, the news is a reminder also top story we have following for you this out extreme. he to cross breezes driving thousands of was fine. so the threatening lives as property temperatures have topped 40 degrees in southern europe, north africa, asia and north america. full cost to say temperatures may rise even further. in the next few days, an american citizen is apparently being held in north korea and often crossing the border without permission. us soldier went missing from a piece village and a demilitarized zone between the 2 to re inspect that's
