the, the, this, the dw do is live in from berlin, and you, as president biden tells the american people of why he chose not to see a 2nd term. so i decided the best way forward is a pass for the source for new generation will go to the washington to get reaction to this announcement also coming up tonight, type food came a roaring into mainland china after leaving a trail of destruction across taiwan, the worst storm to hit the island in here. the

bridge golf is good to have you with us on this thursday, and we begin with what sounded like the beginning of a presidential farewell us president joe biden on thursday night address of the american people for the 1st time since announcing that he will not seek re election in november, however, since the presidential debate last month, biden has been under pressure over his health and doubts about his ability to beat donald trump in november. i reviewed back in front of the cameras for the 1st time since biling, i have to have the rates to be re elected for joe biden laid out the reasons for his decision. democracy. you know, a racial weeks has become clear to me. i need you 9 my party in this critical endeavor. i believe i recognize presence, my leadership in the world. my vision for america's future is all married to the 2nd term. nothing. nothing can come in the way of saving our democracy.

that includes personal ambition. so i've decided the best way for it is a past the tours from new generation as the best way to unite our nation pressure on biden, to step aside, had been growing since lots many democrats felt was a disastrous based performance against republican nominee. donald trump, in june, in the days and weeks that followed very public gaffes by buying food in tooting coating president savanski of ukraine. president putin led to more calls for him to buy, lived of the race at times by biden, and his staff to allay fears, advantage, age and cognitive ability. the little to quell the cold for a new democratic candidate. and to know that he's out of the race fight and made it clear who he wants to see, winning the white house in november. just a few months. the american people choose the course of america's future. i made my

choice. i made my views now. i'd like to thank our great vice president coming wires she experienced she's tough, she's capable. she's been an incredible partner me, leader for our country. one of several important endorsements for coming to harris . the vice president is already busy campaigning to win the presidency, despite having not yet officially being named the democratic nominee. the parties convention is expected to decide that next month. well i spoke to our reporter is to funds the mountains about the importance of last night's speech. it's yeah, i would agree. um, uh and you know, the, the reception of, of his speech of this address is fairly positive because of that, that was a historic speech. first of its kind and 56 years and how, uh, and it was very summer. it was very presidential. it was, it was,

everything you had expected and everything the president had to say, but never wanted to say, i guess because he admitted to treat emission. and one point dictated him to go for the 2nd term until he were educated himself. i guess with the help of many others that that wasn't an option any more political option anymore. but you're absolutely right. this is a joe biden trying to further and protect his legacy and a document picture. it's power of the people in democracy versus all things considered trump and what the former president stand for. that's he didn't say, but in those words, but it was clearly a good bye. a thank you very much, and the fight is on all democrats, all country in his point of view against donald trump and you say it was

a good bye, but it wasn't a final goodbye. he does have 6 months left in his presidency. does that explain why the address last night was so brief. i mean, his endorsement of cumberland harris also was, was short. and his explanation for why he's dropping out. also seems short considering the importance and the history making power of the moment. i think most experts say, and i would actually agree that there was actually, is my choice to keep it very brief. 2 reasons for that. a, the attention span of americans is fairly short and secondly, keep it in and keep the context in mind. uh, we had 3 weeks before this speech now of onslaught every day. they've view turned on the television, the radio or in case you're still reading newspapers open a newspaper, it was all about this. the stepping down is the out for the task and so on. it was by and by and yet not fitful, the jump us fits for the job. kenny,

kenny not and so on. and so on. he released last weekend. you know it, sunday the, the, the statement i'm, i'm stepping down from the candidacy for the next 4 years. not as president. of course. um you said many, many important things in this post on ex, for many loaners trader. and that was the right choice to really just, you know, give it a presidential spin, plus performance, short, a very distinct and rightful the attention span of the americans. are reporters of hinds emails, with the latest from washington is defined as always, thank you. i'm going to say in washington, israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu is in the united states. he's meeting with president joe biden and vice president campbell of harris in the us capital on wednesday. that in yahoo addressed a joint session of congress where he defended the war in gaza. he described the military campaign against him off as a proxy fight with the wrong that must be one at all costs. he also took aim at

anti war protesters outside the us capital, calling them for your ones. useful idiots. dozens of democratic members and congress boyd cottage, netanyahu's speech a. this is a developing story. following for us is our middle east analysts, shawnee. it was on issues here at the table for me, so we understand by then that in yahoo they just met. there's no love lost there. is there not much? yeah, that's let me share it. interest in joint values, as we heard yesterday in the, in the and it's the irish american zion is, i think, is what it correct. right? correct. and, and the claim to be friends for over 40 years now, not the tightest friendship, i would say. but still, you know, it's quite interesting by didn't always kind of reuse for any political obligations . is that any to, you know, a piece, any of the, of a, of his basie doesn't need to worry about how the democrats are effected by his actions. because he's not the running, you know, president, you know, running or is willing duck now is correct. so it's quite interesting, he's just going to go all in on israel now trying to push forward because he wants

to cement his legacy is someone who was also brought into this world, which is very much associated with him and his support for israel or easy going to maybe maybe go with israel and try to, you know, help it and it's, and, you know, with his wishes, we know i'm just on the several other topics on, on the agenda other than the hostages and, and, and the deal that we're also hopefully buying it to it is providing will bring an end to the war. it would also of course discuss, cuz paula and what happens on the north, the border of israel and iran, which is the to the i was strong topic for decades now. and of course, is still an imminent threat on israel and 5 is not the only game in town. now, if you will, probably harris is also on the schedule today for that in yahoo the. what's that going to be left probably going to be a cold or meeting even though with buttons not going to be the warmest and kind of harris has been very strong. and her criticism against is really, is actually in razor election in, in the gaza, talking about the need to bring to an end, talking about the disproportionate amount of civilian casualties. and so she was

very much just going to be much tougher. it's also partially a way for her to distance himself from biden, and trying to, you know, carve her own way as an own candidate, impossible president. but then at the same time we've also, or it has condemning some of the parts us as we've been seeing, some of the professors wishing sewing to support. so home off and you know, some, and some of the dick's chance that we're attempting to, she. yeah, she's so sure in that aspect she's trying to be close to israel and the is really cause without being closed. and it's, and you know, and that's always a fine line. but the democrats, presidents are trying to walk, you know, between the support for israel, but somewhat of this main criticism to their leader in the so many last years. that's and you know, and i've seen this means that if an engine y'all who could choose, he would choose donald trump to win the election. while i'm sending this, i'm saying that he's stalling on purpose waiting for november to come, assuming that it's going to be uh, you know, um trump, who's getting re elected. and he's solely that trump will not be pushing hard on

him so much to go for a deal to put a stop to the, to the war. i'm not sure this is the right assumption because we've been hearing trump even today saying they need to close a doubt. they need to move on. they need to, you know, bring peace. i'm not sure. trump, which for so much on the details as much as you would like to see a bottom line. and for him, the bottom line would be get this done, move on from this. so i'm not sure this is the best strategy for me to tell, but it seems like he's leaning that way. you know, there were dozens of democratic members of congress, not in attendance yesterday, at netanyahu's speech before congress. that is proof that we have seen the politicization of us support for israel as a present, and that's, that's very much true. and i think it's a trend that started in 2015 to to now was there addressing that this is the previous time when he was addressing the joint congress. that was when he's trying to push the americans to, to go against the wrong deal. that obama meditation was, was advocating and august reading back then that it had failed very much rechieve at the clear deal to correct that because that went on the video was sealed,

and of course after that a trunk retreated from it. but it did create a very big lift and a lot of hostility towards and us to the out in washington. we're still seeing throughout the years since it's right to this very day. so he's always, we appreciate your analysis. thank you. you're welcome. i'm sorry, it is a quick look now and some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. these really military has released footage of the operation that we covered, the bodies of 5 hostages in gauze, and it says that 3 of the victims were civilians who died while being held by him off the other 2 who were soldiers killed in the october 7th terror attacks their bodies were then taken into gaza. germany's busiest airport as resumed operations after hundreds of flights were suspended because of a climate protest. active is what through this, since you see right here at frankfurt airport and glued themselves to the tarmac. police detained 8 people and politicians are now calling for tighter. security at
