a $150000.00 rally against extremism and berlin. the late and a series of last protests of germany against racism. and so, you know, phobia balls, revolutions the members of a far right party secretly discuss the forwarding ethnic minority the welcome to the program, the report. it's death toll after us air strikes on syria and iraq has risen to at least $45.00. the syrian observatory for human rights as the strength and dozens of targets killed at least $29.00 people in syria authorities in a rock claim at least 16 were killed there. he was presidential binds as the operation was launched in response to last week's killing of 3 american soldiers and a drone attack on a base in jordan. this is the aftermath of us retaliation.

b one bomb or jets launched an error assault on dozens of sites in iraq and syria. images posted friday, and social media shows several explosions on the rocky syrian border. syrian state media showed footage of what they say was one of the attacks the 85 strikes hit 7 different sites. us national security council spokesman john kirby said us targeted sites linked to around revolutionary guard, or i, r g c and militias. it supports, he said more attacks could be expected. so the signal is the guy r t c and to these goods. the attacks have got to stop. this wasn't just the message sending routine tonight. this was about the grading capability to taking

away capabilities by the advocacy and the and, and the militant groups. these responses began tonight. they're not going to end tonight. a spokes person for one, a rainy and back to alicia said the strikes on a rock failed to meet their objectives. a rocky authorities say the strikes violated their sovereignty. while the syrian regime says the attacks have increased the chances of the conflict spreading. on friday, us president joe biden joined, grieving families to honor the american soldiers killed in the jordan drone attacks a misstatement fight. instead, our response began today. they will continue at times and places of our choosing or we just heard other than us is made it abundantly clear that friday strikes were only the beginning for them. but how far is washington really willing to go?

i asked alex with tongue kind of run experts from the middle east institute in washington, dc. the multiple depend on the reading and reaction to this or the reaction of groups that are seem to be close to era. so we need to. whitehouse does not want to see a region award. clearly the white house is not one a, confront the ride open leave for various reasons that is not in the interest of the bite and white house. but again, you know, if there is a response from the other side, uh, the united states just cannot let go without responding again in return, then that could result in the escalation. but i think clearly right now the hope is that the message has been made. the other side will take that message, will the escalade will stop some of these attacks that we've seen since the middle of october. and if that happens again, that in turn could give the white house a reason not to escalate any further in the short term because they're leaving their options open. as you heard the white house say,

they can choose the next round of strikes depending on where the other side does moving onto the west. now the democratic primary season has kicked off in south carolina with a waiting for president joe biden. all but a sure thing, but even as the outcome of the election to pick the parties, presidential nominee is a given turn out, is being closely watched by them suffers from low approval ratings. and this vote will be a key test of support, especially among black voters. in his re election battle with his likely challenger, donald trump, is by and speaking earlier at a campaign stop in his home state. delaware. this is not just a campaign, this is more of a mission. we cannot, we cannot, we cannot lose this campaign for the good of the country. and i mean that from the bottom, my heart is not about me. goes well beyond me. it goes about the country, and i think everybody knows it. so well, we were looking at a repeat of 2020 and the presidential elections later this year. and how would you

mind fare this time around against donald trump, the w's janelle dom alone takes a look at the recent highs and lows of barnes leadership and speculates on what tools the republicans might use to try and take them down. there's a word that appear to have dropped out of president joe biden. speech is something he's to say all the time to find nomics is just another way of saying the american dream bite. and on the idea that biden studied an economy thrown off balance by depend demik and that big on the future with a non vicious infrastructure program. but it's still for gained little traction with voters. one just released pull shows that less than 40 percent of surveyed voters approve of the president's economic record and of his overall performance. and those are just some of the national issues of what some of his foreign policy choices are threatening his standing at home. here's unwavering support of israel's war against a moss,

and the more than 27000 palestinians killed in the campaign is hurting his image, especially among young voters and providing ammunition to his political enemies. but what donald trump will try to do is to try to create a narrative. the joe biden is out of touch and doesn't understand the complexities of the middle, the situation, and is therefore incapable of serving as commander in chief. and his biggest diplomatic achievement, leading international support for ukraine's defense against russia has hit a wall house. republican lawmakers have locked efforts to get fresh funding for keep demanding stricter controls for immigration via the u. s. southern border would have thus far projected any deal for his part biden is hoping to use the lack of cooperation from republicans as a campaign point. seeing that nothing can get done here or abroad. if folders don't vote democrat, you will have jo bye now. they're saying we have a do, nothing, congress. i tried to get everything i could out of them. send me back, but send me back with some democrats so i can get some things done with the heart

of his pitch to the american people. as a reminder of the perils associated with bringing donald trump back to the white house. here. not america, not you found some champions obsessed with the past, not the future. he's willing to sacrifice our tomorrow to the power our can change. the $1000000.00 question is whether that message will resonate. joe biden has several more months in which anything can happen to make his case to voters thus far. they haven't been easy to convince across germany, tens of thousands of people have rallied against far right extremism, around a 150000 protested in the capital berlin alone. the mass protest against racism ins, you know, probably have been going on for a week since members of a far right party were accused of planning mass deportations of symbolic ring

to protect their nice talk from far right extremism. a tens of thousands of body notes gathered here to protest the growing influence of populism, inputted by the as the native fudge of any body. and it's growing numbers of supporters. we simply have to stand up for the 6 if you want democracy and it's implementation. what does, inc, we're against the f t and it's for democracy in yeah, me and we can see poland are hungry help weekly democracy is being dismantled, unconstitutional bodies for strict. yeah. i think that's what happened to us to solve it as kind of i'll pass young and defrauded i demonstrations started up 2 weeks ago when it was reviewed that members of the if the attended a secret meeting to discuss the most importation of foreigners and some german citizens,

the optic safety is already very open about exclusion. so i think it's good that people here are showing that they are against exclusion. that's one thing i was confused. so i know a demonstration that is wonderful and absolutely necessary. but it is also important that we keep this awareness of life at all times. that would certainly help in the long run. the show of the dog has german john, sir, or loved shows his deep protest in a message on next. he called them a strong sign for our democracy and our constitution if these popularity has taken us slighted but it remains to many 2nd most popular political party that has this bob atkinson among mainstream parties. who fear that if he could sweep to the upcoming state elections in eastern germany, stefan, in our at least 3 people have been killed and hundreds injured. and a giant explosion happened at a gas plant in the capital,

nairobi which authorities say, had been operating illegally. the blast sparts fires which spread quickly the story nearby homes and businesses and forcing locals to evacuate. the use my end with i have this report from nairobi. a message last week through the residential area. and i will be in the middle of the night. we are entering the seeing weather huge explosion to face the whole devastation of this huge explosion that was caused by a story that was filled with liquid petroleum gas. and the government put out a statement saying that that was what caused disciple that also reached some flats, some small businesses. people were absolutely terrified when they woke up around midnight. they said the ground was shaking and many try to escape and the concerned and the process to clean cutting me had no idea what had happened. even though it was on portia when i had this humble ahead. bathroom graphics,

full sunday dressing by the my most lapse deluxe. i still consider myself. i have 200, ma'am, i'm going. so i'm a, it's around the phone, doesn't bill your well, no ma'am. if i was want to clean was not immediately treated at the nearest hospital. at 1st they were turning accident victims away to many of the injured what transferred it to nearby hospitals where they are receiving treatment right now. and the government pledged that they will financially support those who got injured but also those who lost everything. the homes that businesses which is m a fema is one of those who lost his home in the fire. luckily he was away when it happened, like many people in this neighborhood, he works on jobs earning just enough to survive and send some money to his family. that you all need the government's help. but that's so much corruption and can hold

up to the government make, provide help at home, but you won't get to me by the it was, are they done? the deputy president, we gather you guys. jaguar arrives at the scene, promising blankets, food, and a thorough investigation. he suggest the disaster happened because people have been stealing and illegally. we sell in gas at the side. a did you do find out because this has been happening here for so long. people used to come with them, most of bikes, laden with selling, does. they fill them up with gasoline. authority say this densely populated area should have never been used for gas transactions. the petroleum recognize the consent. the explosion happened at an illegal gas storage and for stealing side, the criminal investigation has been opened. which is the most c, my hopes that he and hundreds of others will get the compensation they need. and finally, the northern norwegian town of boda has marked the beginning of its year as european capital culture the 1st ever above the arctic circle. the opening ceremony

was held on the water in buddha harbor, inspired by local fishing traditions, and featuring indigenous selling music. hurricane force winds have in forecast ahead of the ceremony. in the end, the clouds scattered and the wind died down. border is one of 3 european capitals of culture this year, together with tar 2 and estonia and but a show in austria. and before we go, here's a quick reminder of the top story we're following for you today. the u. s. military bombs more than $85.00 sites links to a raining militias in syria and iraq. washington says the strengths are in retaliation for the killing of 3 american soldiers and an attack on a base in jordan last, we want to do the we news from berlin next our attack. so shift explores how

artificial intelligence is being used more and more to both good and bad effect covertly. thank you so much for your company. the, the when the started, we started to understand clearly and what you need to do for us. ukraine was assembled, are we moving towards europe or not? 2013. this still is afraid democracy, protests and ukraine. the country response to your price to ship to west have recognized the danger and the terms of
