00:48President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. pins the blame on climate change and improper trash disposal
00:53after he inspects severely flooded areas in Metro Manila
00:56The amount of water was not as bad as Undoy
01:00But the effect was greater than Undoy
01:02We have more flood control now than before
01:05This is what the effects of climate change are
01:16In a State of the Nation address on July 22,
01:19Marcos touted the completion of 5,500 flood control projects
01:24A situation report by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council
01:28says the bad weather caused 13 landslides,
01:31forced the evacuation of over 600,000 individuals,
01:34and killed at least 14 people across the country
01:39Oil tanker MT Terra Nova capsizes and submerges in Bataan,
01:43carrying 1.4 million liters of industrial fuel oil
01:47Philippine Coast Guard spokesman Armand Balido
01:49said 16 of the tank's crew are rescued, with one still missing
01:53Search operations continue
01:55The PCG monitored an oil spill 5.6 nautical miles east of Lamau Point in Lemay, Bataan
02:01It has an estimated length of two nautical miles
02:04and is carried by the strong current heading east to northeast
02:08Authorities are determining the gravity of the oil spill
02:10and the response needed to address the disaster
02:13Meantime, in Pampanga, 96 villages across nine towns and one city
02:18were affected by the heavy rain
02:20In Metro Manila and nearby provinces,
02:22motorists and commuters were stranded after heavy rain brought by the southwest monsoon,
02:26intensified by Typhoon Karina, caused heavy flooding
02:31A Reuters-Ipsos poll shows Vice President Kamala Harris
02:35with a two-percentage-point lead over Republican Donald Trump, 44 to 42 percent
02:40A CNN poll conducted by SSRS shows Trump leading Harris, 49 to 46 percent
02:46Both findings were within the poll's margins of error
02:49In his first rally since the vice president replaced U.S. President Joe Biden
02:53as the Democratic nominee, Trump signals a bare-knuckled campaign
02:57as he brands Harris a radical-left lunatic
03:00Harris had dominated the two previous days with withering attacks on Trump
03:04In those roles, I took on perpetrators of all kinds
03:07So hear me when I say, I know Donald Trump's type
03:12The Democrats plan to formally nominate Harris as soon as August 1,
03:16with Harris picking a running mate by August 7
03:21United States President Joe Biden says he had pulled out of the race against Republican Donald
03:25Trump because he loves his country more and that love exceeds his personal ambition
03:30This was his first public remark since dropping out
03:33I revere this office, but I love my country more
03:36So I've decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation
03:40That's the best way to unite our nation
03:43Biden sprinkles his 11-minute speech with references
03:45to the danger Americans supposedly face if Trump wins
03:49The great thing about America is here kings and dictators do not rule, the people do
03:55He adds he wants to unite Democrats in the goal of winning
03:59Nothing can come in the way of saving our democracy
04:02That includes personal ambition
04:04He also thanks his vice president, Kamala Harris, calling her experience tough and capable
04:09Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sketched a vague outline of a plan for a
04:15de-radicalized post-war Gaza in a speech to the U.S. Congress on Wednesday, July 24
04:21Dozens of Democrats boycotted his remarks
04:24Vice President Kamala Harris, who would normally preside as vice president, did not attend
04:29Netanyahu dismissed criticism of an Israeli campaign that reduced Gaza
04:33to ruins and killed 39,000 residents, according to Gaza health officials
04:38The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court
04:41has shamefully accused Israel of deliberately starving the people of Gaza
04:46If there are Palestinians in Gaza who aren't getting enough food,
04:50it's not because Israel is blocking it, it's because Hamas is stealing it
04:54Without evidence, Netanyahu says the pro-Palestinian protesters
04:58were backed by Israel's faux Iran
05:00You have officially become Iran's useful idiots
05:04And that's today's wrap. I'm Cara Oliver. Thank you for watching
