    And Other Stories headlines around the world Caroline it’s over to you now well thanks tanvi as the Israel Hamas conflict continues families of Israeli hostages held in Gaza have begun a 4-day March from the border with Gaza to Jerusalem the starting point for the March was a field outside kabut raem

    Near the Gaza border where more than 350 partygoers were killed or kidnapped in the Hamas Le attack on October 7th as mediated efforts to reach a deal between Israel and Hamas are underway the families of the hostages called for the release of their relatives who are being held by

    Hamas the Israeli Army released a video on Wednesday showing its soldiers engaged in combat in the Gaza Strip as well as conducting air strikes targeting Hamas terrorist facilities the footage appears to show air strikes on Hamas infrastructure anti-missile posts and an operational Command Center British lawmakers are fearing for

    Their safety as they face threats and abuse for expressing support for Israel since the October 7th Hamas attack several politicians in the UK have reported increased intensity of verbal abuse directed towards them some are considering wearing protective measures such as stab vests during meetings or constructing safe

    Rooms US President Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump both emerged victorious in the Michigan primaries held on Tuesday further cementing the expectation of a rematch between the two leaders but many in Michigan’s arab-american Community who backed Biden in 2020 are angry as are some Progressive Democrats over ID’s support

    For Israel in the conflict in Gaza Donald Trump won the state’s Republican presidential primary by a large margin strengthening his grip on the party’s White House nomination as Nikki Haley his last remaining rival came in a distant second well the Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley took came at

    Donald Trump a week before the Colorado presidential primary election saying she need be a better candidate against Biden well Haley also reminded her supporters of a recent comment by Trump encouraging Russia’s President Vladimir Putin to invade the United States and allies well DDD India’s Nick Harper joins us live

    From Washington DC now so Nick uh Haley is staying in the race despite the results on Tuesday’s Michigan primary what is her strategy at this point yeah Caroline it’s very interesting I think here we have Nikki Haley who state after state is losing contests and losing contests quite heavily to Donald

    Trump more than 40% margin separating the two of them in this latest contest it now means that she is down five State losses to Donald Trump’s five State wins in this primary season but she very much says that she wants to be the alternative to Donald Trump the

    Non-trump option for voters out there super Tuesdays just around the corner less than a week away when 15 states will be casting their votes and she says because millions of Americans are about to vote she has a duty to remain in the race so that they have an option for

    Someone other than Donald Trump on the ballot she also warns that he will bring more chaos to the White House to the whole of America and potentially the world if he’s reelected in November so she wants to remain in to try prove that she is not just a viable candidate but

    An alternative candidate as well and on that foreign policy issue of Russia she is putting out that warning that the former president and his comments about Russia his desire not to fund Ukraine anymore in its fight against Russia all of that very much weighs against America’s national security interests

    But has huge implications for Global Security as well so another loss for Nikki Haley but she is determined to remain in this fight at least for now and then Nick on the Democratic side what more can you tell us about warning signs facing President Joe Biden yeah we knew that this was going

    To be a difficult primary contest for him there’s huge amounts of not just displeasure or annoyance but real anger real Fury from Arab American voters out there in the United States many of whom live in the state of Michigan they are furious at the Biden administrations pro-israel staunch but position but also

    The fact that they feel that the White House has not stood up for Palestinians protected civilians living in Gaza and that is why many of them said that they could not vote for him and instead ticked that uncommitted box now in terms of the number uh we had about a 100,000

    People who said that that they were uncommitted voters that’s about 133% compared to Biden’s 81% it’s not as big as a protest vote as we were expecting but it does show weakness for the president I think it’s also worth pointing out that there were a lot of

    Voters who simply didn’t turn out for the Democrats they didn’t even show their support and we have to remember that Michigan is a key swing state Donald Trump won it in 2016 winning it off the Democrats Biden flipped it in 2020 it could potentially be the state

    That makes or breaks the presidency for one of those two men in November so Biden needs all the support he can especially from those Arab American voters who are traditionally Democratic voters thank you Nick that was Nick Harper reporting in Washington well US President Joe Biden’s Administration on Wednesday signed an

    Executive order aimed at protecting American personal data by restricting its transfer to China Russia and other countries according to senior us officials the order will curb bulk transfers of American geolocation biometric health and financial information by data Brokers to specific countries of concern the order is the

    Latest bid by Washington to stem the flow of American data to China which is locked in a yearslong trade and Technology conflict with the United States well US President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden will testify behind closed doors at an impeachment inquiry into his father later on Wednesday as Republicans

    Allege Biden influenced US foreign policy to benefit his family financially the hearing comes just before the US government will run out of money to keep all agencies open if Congress fails to act by the weekend investigators are expecting to ask Hunter Biden about his business activities including his role with Chinese energy firm

    CFC according to the European Union Agency for Asylum the number of Asylum seekers in Europe has jumped by 18% in 2023 reaching 1.14 million people this is the highest number since the migrant crisis of 2015 to 16 when many people from Asia and the Middle East fled to Europe

    About 4.4 million ukrainians have fled to the European Union because of Russia’s conflict with Ukraine and they do not need to apply formally for Asylum while France is on the verge of enshrining abortion rights into the country’s Constitution lawmakers in the lower house passed the historic Bill

    Last month which now heads to the French Senate but as DD India’s Tony Waterman explains from Paris getting over this last Financial legislative hurdle could be a challenge when this constitutional amendment was debated in the National Assembly it was in front of a friendly audience and the bill which guarantees a

    Woman’s freedom to terminate a pregnancy passed with an overwhelming majority but its fate in the Senate which has a farri majority is far less certain especially after the Senate President said last month that he was against it critics have argued that there are more important issues to focus on and that

    This bill is unnecessary because abortion they say is not under threat in France where women have had access to the procedure since 1975 but the issue has taken on a new sense of urgency for many after the US Supreme Court overturned abortion rights in 20122 reversing 50 years of Precedence and

    Leaving tens of millions of women without without access to the procedure now on Monday a French Senator tabled an amendment to the bill that could actually send it back to the lower house delaying the process but ultimately it is expected to pass the vast majority some 80% of French citizens support

    Abortion rights the goal is to have the amendment passed by March 8th which is international women’s day and a 35ths majority of lawmakers will be needed to approve the measure in a joint session of Parliament which the macron government is planning to hold at the iconic Versailles Palace next week Tony
