melissa chance. thanks for joining us. bangladesh is under a nationwide curfew after weeks of protest turned violent. military forces are now patrolling the streets of the capital deca in a bid to restore. com. more than a 100 people had been killed in clashes with police. the unrest started after the government reintroduced limits on who has access to highly sought after government . job security forces fill the streets of doco. they've been sent in to restore order. after weeks of fund dressed, people are being told they can only go off to shop for groceries and the central government is also disrupting internet and mobile services. so we students have been protesting against the reintroduction of a quote of system that allocates more than half of the men jobs, the women,
7:02 pm
minorities, and the families of west virginia. i'm gonna stop to a different matter of common sense that over 50 percent of the jobs cannot be given a way to quote a holders a normal state cannot be run like this. this the, the protest started out as peaceful and increasingly violent and recent. dave, when police responded with tear gas sound grenades and probably getting dozens, i'm injuring 1000. protesters have boned vehicles, the fact public buildings and storms the headquarters of the state broadcast though, crushing the program, running 10 bits shown before. of the i'm just international say's bundle. they should police have use quote and mostly force against protest to be, you know, go and revise. in particular, the shooting of a boost site. the 1st student who was known to be killed can see the 2 officers
7:03 pm
were, you know, discharging 12 gauge shot contact him. and we assessed the reduced visual intelligence and the distance between them was 50 meters. so we got a forensic and i, i knew this to look at the test tunes on and it was consistent, but the bird shot. now we consider the use of bird shot, which is a hunting weapon to be completely inappropriate in the use of policing protests that are also reports a for student wing from the ruling faulty of ami league, inciting violence. an attacking female protested with directed brutality. who seemed to have really targeted the women and girls. so we had women and girls that told us we thought they would spare us that they wouldn't, you know, attack us. but in fact, they seemed to have attacked them with a particular vengeance. launching, you know, punches and kicks they set on the, on their breasts, bucks and stomachs. anger against such attacks is still room. many say the protests
7:04 pm
won't stop until the government abandons. it's called our system. they're also demanding. it investigates the student's death. us president joe biden is resisting growing calls to abandon his re election bid. he's bound to return to the campaign trail next week. fine is currently isolating at his beach house in the state of delaware after testing positive for coven 19. his doctor says his condition is improving. the president is under increasing pressure with many senior democrats, worried that he cannot beat donald trump in november. within 30 congressional democrats have now called for him to drop out is let's go to my hometown of los angeles and bring in ethan bierman. he is a us political commentator and adjunct professor at loyola law school. los angeles . welcome, ethan and joe biden, faces increasing pressure and the list of democrats. we think he should drop out of the race is growing. what do you make of his insistence that he's returning to the
7:05 pm
campaign trip? well, i think at this point, what that means is that he has not decided to drop out or to acquiesce, or possibly that there have not delivered to him a viable plan. should he drop out there? you know, joe biden does strategize and planning as great advisors around him, so he has to contemplate what the consequences are. if he were to step down, if he's even willing to step down. but these calls do continue to grow and they are growing louder, which is upsetting many people in the democratic party base who strongly support support president. but now for many democrats of vice president campbell harris has risen to the top of the list of possible replacements. who else is on that list? and who are they? especially for our viewers, were mostly not from united states. right, well tamela harris is clearly the front one or she is from california as well. she
7:06 pm
is the sitting vice president. that would be the natural replacement for president joe biden. i think the top 2 candidates, if there are talk to after calmer harris would be governor gretchen whitmore, of michigan. she survived and attempted kidnapping by some radicals. a few years back around 2020 election. she's been a, a loud, pragmatic voice in the democratic party who is a strong leader. and i think that actually who is probably in the lead, if it's not tomlin harris, and possibly even if it is calmer, harris is sitting california governor gavin newsome. he has taken it straight on to the republicans, he debated. governor round the santas, mago republican from florida on fox news and, and handle that extremely well. he's been advertising nationally and he is a well regarded leader in the democratic party as well. uh,
7:07 pm
regardless of who they pick, they need to make a decision fast. don't say whether they stick with buying or um they look for another replacement. yeah, the, so the democratic convention is coming up here in chicago, around august 19th, i believe is when it starts and they need to have this settled before that there are people calling for this to be settled out the convention in a historically traditional way where they would argue this out there, however, in light of knowing that the republicans will likely file lawsuits to try and block any replacement of joe biden on ballots. this needs to be done post haste in order to get a replacement ready. now, up. well, the democrats are sort of in fighting. this is playing right into the hands of republicans, right? oh, absolutely. there's nobody who benefits more from this democratic game fighting than
7:08 pm
the republican party, which is really the trump party nowadays. so it's donald trump and jamie vance. in all of the contested seats, people forget that this year there are significant, important senate seats up for election and what's called the house of representatives. here in the united states gets re elected every 2 years. those electrons. busy so happening in november, so this won't just benefit the top of the republican party ticket being trumping vans. but it also potentially benefits all of these other races, which are very important for the governance here in the united states as environment. thank you so much for joining us. thanks melissa. today, cypress is marking 50 years since it was split into in 1974 turkish troops invaded the mediterranean island after greece stage a brief crew 5 days earlier. turkish cypriots in the north of you. today's anniversary as a liberation from the greek speaking majority,
