i'm quite richards and welcome florida is governor. randa santos has ended his bid for the republican nomination for president of the united states once seen as perhaps the most viable republican alternative to donald trump. does that just as endorse the former president as he bowed out on sunday, the move leaves trumpet with just one rival along with 4 criminal proceedings. standing between him and a re match with president joe biden in november, dropping out of the presidential nomination race. troy doug governor on desantis has endorsed former president donald trump, even though early pals suggested he wasn't a strong position to take him on the. it's clear to me that the majority of republican primary voters want to give donald trump another chance they watched his presidency gets stymied by relentless resistance. and they see democrats using lothair this day to attack in the wife had disagreements with donald trump,

such as on the corona virus pandemic, and his elevation of anthony bouchee trump is superior to the current incumbent joe biden. that is clear, his farewell to him, the scene left us the folders disheartened. very deflate is very upset. this is not good news at all. um, i'm very upset, but it happened and it's very deflating. upsetting for some but uplifting for others. campaigning in new hampshire, where republicans will get their 1st chance to gust ballots for a nominee, especially donald trump and his supporters. even though he's been endorsed by the sent, this comes to places one serious challenger. nikki haley, drums farmer, you invested or comes down to this? do we want more of the same, or do you want something different? and more of the same, is it just joe biden? more of the same is also donald trump. but even if hailey can defeat trump in new

hampshire, it will take a lot more to losing his grip on a party. he's dominated since 2016. let's get more from lizza show guy, political scientists and policy analysts joining us from washington. d. c. thank you. so much for taking the time to speak with us on dw news, they've got ronda sent us out. how surprised are you by his departure? it's pretty surprising. nobody leaves after taking seconds and i was this early in the game. is it? it's just kind of unprecedented at this point that he would bell out. my immediate reaction was a deal somewhere has been made and i was kind of waiting to see. was it a deal to trump or was it the deal to hailey? what is the fact that the scientist has now given it from his endorsement is, is that perhaps a deal behind closed doors that you're referring to? and i would not be surprised. and that's exactly what i was looking for. the only

way republicans could have nominated someone other than trump was if they all color less around one person. last week when i would caucus happened the next 3 folks behind trump together would have beaten him right away. the back drops out. he endorses trumps. and now it is just samples of haley, diseases endorsing. trump is a surprising this. this means it isn't for the democrats, it's for trunk. and trump has indicated he already has a c p pick in mind. and. and who do we think that vp takes might be in your view? he's been coined but there's a lot of times that say the sentence at least thinks that it could be him. and that's why he probably agree for some tile to do this. okay, so let's zoom out a little bit and think about what this means for what is increasingly looking like a potential re match between biden and a trump to become the next president of the united states. i mean, really now the only contender standing in trump's way for that competition is nikki

haley. does it, does she stand any realistic chance of beating? i'm here. she's definitely an outside or the next contest is new hampshire in new hampshire likes to think of itself as kind of an average state the, the unexpected state. so there is the chance she could do well in new hampshire, in the se, following that is her home state of south carolina. so i would totally count her out yet, but i would say that it's a long shot. okay. and so if she, if she were to have, you know, surprised, upset and do really well in new hampshire. say, what would, what would the next step be? how much of a long shot are we talking about here? as she comes a lot closer, especially with the state following that south south carolina. and this would mean that there, that we'll hook into a ring for a real primary versus right now i think trump is signaling, he wants to quash this right now and head into the general. and so i think a lot of people would come out of the woodwork to support her and keep it hobbling

along. so i think it would extend the primary. i am not super helpful or secure the nomination. well, thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us. that's at least ciocca of political scientists in washington dc. thank you. let's turn to israel now where prime minister benjamin netanyahu has rejected conditions a set by him off for the release of more than a 130 hostages, still believe to the health in gaza. and that yahoo statement follows a weekends of protests over his government's handling of the war with many calling for early elections. these rarely leaders are that have lost his demands, amounted to quote, surrender terms. after the militant group carried out the deadliest with her attack in israel's history on october 7th, this footage of the dock and winding passage ways released by these riley army claims to show with some hostages were held in gaza by him. us images that are likely to hold the families of those still missing

many have gathered outside prime minister benjamin netanyahu is jerusalem hern, demanding the government strike a deal to get the loved ones back after 107 days, we are demanding that they fix the failure from the 7th, and that can only start with returning all of the hostages alive. bring home 136 hostages in bags can never be considered any part of a victory. they want the government to consider a deal offered by him us to set free for hostages in exchange for an end to the war . and the release of palestinian prison is held by israel. that's something missing. yahoo has lastly refused saying cease why?

i would guarantee a replace of how must, has terre attacks on israel. i mean, i utterly reject the most monster's capitulation terms. must have demanding an exchange for the release of our house, which is the end of the war. the withdrawal of our forces from cause of the release of the murderers and rapists that promises military wing and leaving him us in place for we 2 agreed to this, our soldiers would have fall in vain. we would not be able to insure the security of our citizens, but whether continuing the war will keep his really safe or succeed in getting the hostages home is a question dividing israel. let's get across to our special correspondent abraham, joining us from jerusalem. and we've heard netanyahu has rejected this new hostage deal under the terms that had been set out by him us. but we are getting reports. that is that new ceasefire talked will take place in egypt and a guitar this week. what can you tell us as well? these are still reports,

media reports to be exact. and what we are hearing is that a senior by an administration official is in the region of this week. first, they will go to cairo, egypt to meet with senior intelligence officers and a senior members of the security apparatus there. and from the egypt, this a senior by an administration official will move on to a doha and cuts are to meet with a senior country officials and diplomats. there are no egypt and called our 2 countries that have played a key role in previous negotiations between israel and from us, including the, the, the, the, the, the hostage for prisoner exchange deal that we saw a release a quite a large number of a hostages. but these are still on curve unconfirmed reports. it's unclear what the outcome will be, but from what we understand the deal is aimed at

a more comprehensive conclusion of the work that would include possibly the withdrawal of israeli troops and the release of hostages. but we've been here before, and these, these deals are very fragile. there are a lot, there are a lot of moving parts. and so it's unclear what the timeline is and how successful this will be given that one a a offer from how much has now been categorically rejected by a prime minister netanyahu. and a, a many of the hostages of families are at this point, really desperate to get their loved ones home. and even if that means making major concessions to him off. but how much support is there in israel for their position? i think there's a lot of support further position, and it's a, it's a small country. and even though they're now a $130.00 around a $130.00 hostage, believe to be in the israel, it's something that everybody feels i think it is real on to some extent,

on an individual level of what happened. the 7th of october was really a sort of collective trauma where you don't have to really be related to someone who was taken to stand by them and to share in their demands. and i think the desperation that the families are reaching now is also not new. i remember speaking to hostage families and protesters even 2 months ago, a month into a the war. and i remember sharing even back then at the slogan all for all meaning . let us exchange all of the is really hostages for all of the palestinian prisoners in is really a jails and there is no mounting anger. i mean, the protests that we see for the release of the hostages are not a new phenomenon. they've been happening virtually every, every weekend since the beginning of the war. but in the past couple of days we really have seen an intensification of these protests with

a direct wouldn't even more pronounced and direct criticism at the prime minister himself. so i would say there is widespread support for the demand. more should be done to bring the hostages back. i thank you so much for bring us up to speed. there are special correspondent, a abraham in jerusalem. so we do have time to take a look at some other world news headlines. police in ecuador have arrested almost 70 alleged gang members on suspicion of attempting to take over a hospital authorities type of suspects. try to free an injured associate from the medical facility. here. the city of black in the area is in the midst of what's being called a war between drug gangs and security forces. a powerful atlantic storm has thrashed ireland leaving thousands of people without power. more than $150.00 flights were cancelled at dublin airport. storm aisha prompted authorities to declare the highest level of warning for several parts of ireland,
