00:59.7
and a partial Israeli troop pullback within Gaza.
01:03.6
The U.S. says it is reviewing the response of Hamas with its allies.
01:08.6
U.S. President Joe Biden also spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in another attempt to stop the invasion of Rafah.
01:17.9
During the call at the President's urging, Prime Minister Netanyahu agreed to ensure that the Karim Shalom crossing is back open for humanitarian assistance for those in need.
01:30.7
I will address the latest reports now out of Rafah, which was also a topic of discussion on the call.
01:35.5
I'll reiterate again that we cannot and we will not speak for IDF operations.
01:41.2
But we've made clear our views about operations in Rafah that could potentially put more than a million innocent people at greater risk.
01:50.0
During his call with Prime Minister Netanyahu, the President again made this clear.
01:55.7
The militant group's acceptance of the ceasefire deal brings a future of war.
01:59.6
A faint glimmer of hope of reaching at least a pause in the seven-month war.
02:04.8
Israel's war cabinet has unanimously decided to continue its operations in Rafah to advance the release of hostages.
02:12.0
But it said it would send negotiators to Egypt to work on a deal.
02:17.2
Israel's offensive in Gaza has killed more than 34,700 Palestinians.
02:23.1
More than 80% of Gaza's 2.3 million population have been displaced,
02:28.1
with hundreds of thousands.
02:29.6
On the brink of famine.
02:33.5
Even if the ceasefire deal is still hanging in the balance,
02:37.5
news of Hamas accepting the truce proposal was enough for Gazans to celebrate.
02:42.8
Crowds gathered on the streets of Rafah Monday night to cheer the development,
02:47.6
even as the fighting continues.
02:50.1
Hamas' abrupt acceptance of the ceasefire deal came hours after Israel ordered an evacuation
02:56.6
of some 100,000 Palestinians.
02:59.6
From Rafah, signaling an invasion was imminent.
03:03.1
Over in Israel, protests erupt, calling on government to accept the deal.
03:09.5
We expect from the Israeli government to take this deal to save all the remaining hostages
03:17.7
who are still alive.
03:21.3
Don't talk about fighting and blood.
03:23.5
We need every international intervention to help us urge Israel into doing this.
03:29.6
Do the right thing.
03:30.5
Urge the Israeli government to do the right thing and sign this hostage deal.
03:36.9
The hostages have no more time.
03:39.7
It's delaying tactics.
03:41.4
Feet dragging cannot continue even one day longer.
03:44.9
We need them home now and we need the Israeli government to do the right thing and agree
03:49.7
to the hostage deal.
03:54.5
Aras are made at another California campus as law enforcement officers clear
03:59.5
a pro-Palestinian encampment stationed at UC San Diego for the past week.
04:04.5
Police declared an unlawful assembly early Monday and ordered protesters to leave.
04:10.3
After the warning, officers moved in and detained protesters who refused to leave the campsite.
04:16.6
Meanwhile, over in New York, despite last week's removal of a protest encampment,
04:21.7
Columbia University has decided to cancel its main graduation ceremony.
04:29.5
That it's a bit ridiculous considering that their entire justification for shutting down the encampment
04:35.6
or everything else they've done on campus was so that they could hold a commencement or something
04:40.2
so they could hold a graduation as normal and then just to cancel it just feels very,
04:45.3
feels ridiculous and it feels like kind of a slap in the face to everyone involved.
04:48.6
Like no matter what side you're on, I think it just all feels like very futile that they did all of it.
04:53.5
I think it's kind of disingenuous and shows a lot of the bad faith negotiations that have been taking place.
04:58.7
The university has been.
04:59.5
Saying a lot of the emails addressed to the students and the rest of the university community that the encampment and every other action that protesters were taking was the reason that they were threatening to cancel commencement and the encampment has been cleared for a significant amount of time now and they've made no moves on increasing the amount of preparations they have on campus.
05:20.7
The protests at Columbia inspired similar demonstrations at dozens of universities across the U.S.
05:27.4
Students have called for a ceasefire.
05:29.5
And demanded their schools divest from companies with ties to Israel.
05:37.0
China reiterates its claim Beijing and Manila had agreed on a new model in handling their maritime dispute in the South China Sea.
05:45.2
The Chinese foreign ministry says the gentleman's agreement was reached with an aim of managing differences, avoiding conflict and establishing mutual trust.
05:54.8
At the beginning of this year,
05:59.5
negotiations with the Philippine Western Command through diplomatic channels to reach a new model for rent a reef, transportation and subsidy.
06:07.9
The Philippine military has repeatedly confirmed that this new model has been approved by the entire command chain, including the Philippine defense minister, national security advisor and others.
06:19.3
The new model was abandoned by the Philippines after being implemented once on February 2.
06:25.3
The remarks made by the Philippines cannot deny the objective fact that China.
06:29.5
And the Philippines have reached a gentleman's agreement on internal understanding and a new model.
06:38.0
The Philippines and China have had several confrontations in the West Philippine Sea, including another water cannon attack last week with damaged a Philippine Coast Guard vessel.
06:51.3
The National Security Council not seeing the need to investigate the Philippine Armed Forces Western Command chief following China's election.
06:59.5
The NSEC says China's claims are only meant to sow division among the Philippine people.
07:07.5
The agency also coming to the defense of West Com chief vice admiral Alberto Carlos, which it pointed out was among those injured when the Chinese Coast Guard attacked Manila's resupply vessel last March.
07:21.6
You know, Vice Admiral Carlos is a be meddled member of the Philippine Navy.
07:29.5
Ito sa mga insinuations, fake stories, and fake news, and disinformation coming from the Chinese embassy.
07:36.9
Kung si Vice Admiral Carlos entered into some sort of arrangement, bakit siya iwawater kanon ng ganon?
07:47.2
It doesn't, pag pinagdikit-dikit mo talaga yung storya, it unravels.
07:51.9
So it's really a tragedy na nadadawit yung pangalan ni Vice Admiral Carlos dito.
08:04.4
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. says the country's Coast Guard will not be equipped with water cannons
08:10.3
to counter those used by the Chinese Coast Guard against Philippine ships.
08:14.8
Michael Delizo reports.
08:17.8
Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said,
08:20.5
the Philippines will not go the way of China in using water cannons in the West Philippine Sea
08:25.7
as it has no intention to further increase tensions there.
08:29.4
We will not follow the Chinese Coast Guard and the Chinese vessels down that road
08:36.0
because it's simply, it is not the mission of our Navy, our Coast Guard, to start or to increase tensions.
08:48.4
Their mission is precisely...
08:50.5
It's precisely the opposite, is to lower tensions.
08:53.7
Instead of retaliating, former Justice Antonio Carpio meanwhile urged Manila
08:58.1
to bring the incident to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Seas.
09:02.1
I agree that we should not respond by firing water cannon also.
09:06.2
What we should do is go to an UNCLOS tribunal.
09:08.8
If we engage in that kind of battle in the sea, we are outnumbered.
09:14.1
China has the largest naval fleet in the world,
09:18.0
the largest submarine force in the world,
09:20.5
if you are the commander, you will not send your forces there only to be overwhelmed.
09:25.7
You have to look for a venue where there is a level playing field.
09:31.3
Some lawmakers also support the President's position.
09:34.5
Senator Francis Escudero said,
09:36.4
Retaliation is a child's game and the country should not do what it believes is wrong.
09:41.2
For Senator Francis Tolentino,
09:43.0
it is responsible not to retaliate and maintain the moral high ground of the Philippines.
09:47.7
Senator Jingo Estrada also believes in diplomacy,
09:50.5
and peaceful means in addressing the issue.
09:52.8
Security analyst Professor Chester Cabalza says,
09:55.8
it is only right for the Philippines to abstain from blowing water cannons
10:00.2
and maintain professionalism as to not compromise the arbitral award.
10:03.9
We won a case in 2016 where we became the bearer and champion of rules-based norms.
10:13.1
We want to show that we are following the law,
10:17.0
we are civilized.
10:19.5
But what will happen?
10:20.4
What will happen if the Philippines responds with water cannon?
10:22.7
This is what they will do to legitimize the conflict.
10:28.0
Because they will say,
10:30.2
we are using a weapon,
10:31.8
or we are also using a weapon,
10:34.3
and this is the way to have a war.
10:38.2
But Senator Coco Pimentel,
10:39.6
who earlier floated the idea of retaliation,
10:42.0
questioned the involvement of powerful nations,
10:44.8
increase of EDCA sites,
10:46.2
and acquisition of missiles and submarines
10:48.0
if the Philippines' intention is to lower the level of violence.
10:50.4
The Philippine Coast Guard's J. Tariel admitted,
10:53.7
the PCG also feels provoked and wants a teeth for that.
10:58.5
Your anger is also our anger.
11:01.7
We also want to have a water cannon.
11:04.1
But we cannot do otherwise because we have to comply.
11:07.2
And we know for a fact, we trust our Commander-in-Chief.
11:10.4
The Department of Foreign Affairs is studying whether the water cannon attack last April 30
11:15.2
could be a basis for filing a fresh diplomatic protest.
11:18.7
Manila has already filed,
11:20.4
20 diplomatic protests against Beijing this year,
11:23.6
and a total of 153 so far under the Marcos administration.
11:28.1
Michael Delizo, ABS-CBN News.
11:33.2
In other news, the Philippine President laughs off allegations
11:36.6
that a supposed document of the Drug Enforcement Agency
11:40.3
shows he was under investigation for illegal drug use.
11:43.9
He gave no further comment after reporters asked him about the issue.
11:49.3
But executives said,
11:50.4
Secretary Lucas Bersamin called the allegations contrived.
11:54.3
A former drug enforcement agent told a Senate hearing last week
11:57.9
he leaked authentic documents on the drug use of President Marcos Jr.
12:02.9
and actress Maricel Soriano.
12:04.8
But the Drug Enforcement Agency chief,
12:07.3
Moro Virgilio Lazo,
12:08.7
denies these files exist.
12:16.3
O punong 2012 daw po, Mr. President.
12:46.3
Hapening within the same hour, Philippine House lawmakers will discuss their proposal to amend the Rice Tarification Law.
12:55.0
At at 10 a.m., Sen. Ronald de la Rosa will lead a public hearing into the alleged documents supposedly leaked by the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency,
13:05.2
which accuses President Marcos and other known personalities of using illegal drugs.
13:12.6
And we're taking a quick break.
13:15.4
President Marcos,
13:16.3
urging the public to promote Filipino cuisine to lure more foreign tourists into the country.
13:22.2
More on that story after the break.
13:24.0
This is ANC's Rundown.
13:46.3
Welcome back to The Rundown, the headlines across the web.
14:10.9
In Quarra's Banner Story Online,
14:13.6
the Philippine Central Bank began dipping into the country's...
14:16.3
dollar reserves in small amounts to prop up the weakening peso.
14:21.7
Philippine Star's top story, State Weather Bureau Pagasa says,
14:25.8
the worst is over in terms of record high temperatures and searing heat.
14:31.3
In Manila Bulletin's headline,
14:33.1
Philippine House Speaker Martin Ramualdez,
14:35.9
optimistic prices of rice could go below 30 pesos per kilo by July.
14:41.4
And topping JMA News website,
14:43.7
at least 2,000 residents,
14:47.9
left without water for almost a week now.
14:52.2
Let's now get an update on the weather from Pagasa forecaster,
14:56.9
Good morning, Lori.
14:58.0
Good morning, ma'am.
14:59.1
And to all our viewers and listeners,
15:02.4
Easterlies continues to prevail over the country
15:05.3
and it's causing parts cloudy to cloudy skies
15:07.7
with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms,
15:10.9
mostly in the afternoon or evening.
15:13.8
And at the moment,
15:14.8
we're not monitoring,
15:15.9
any tropical cyclone inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility
15:19.7
and we don't have gale warning raised over any seaboard
15:23.7
of the Philippine Archipelago.
15:25.9
Meanwhile, for Metro Manila,
15:27.4
the expected or forecasted heat index for today
15:32.0
is up to 42 degrees Celsius.
15:34.8
So, our advice for the general public
15:37.9
is to stay hydrated and avoid direct exposure
15:41.1
from sunlight as much as possible.
15:44.0
That's the latest from Pagasa.
15:45.9
Thank you for that update, Lori.
16:15.9
Thank you for watching.
16:45.9
We'll see you next time.
17:15.9
We'll see you next time.
17:45.9
Good morning to Offenses and Rundown.
17:48.8
We begin with a judge threatening jail time
17:51.0
for presumptive Republican presidential nominee
17:53.0
Donald Trump for a future gag order violations.
17:57.4
Justice Juan Merchan,
17:58.9
the judge overseeing the historic criminal hush money trial
18:01.4
of former U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday,
18:04.1
fined Trump $1,000
18:05.4
and held him in contempt of court
18:07.1
for a tenth time for violating a gag order.
18:10.4
He also warned that any further violations
18:12.2
could land Trump in jail.
18:14.1
Merchan said the $9,000-$1,000
18:15.9
fines he had imposed so far
18:17.6
did not seem to be deterring Trump
18:19.1
from violating the gag order,
18:21.1
which prohibits him from making public comments
18:23.1
about jurors, witnesses, and families of the judge
18:25.9
and prosecutors if the statements
18:27.8
meant to interfere with the case.
18:30.1
They've taken away my constitutional rights
18:32.2
so I'm not allowed to answer that question.
18:34.6
This has never happened in this country before.
18:37.0
It's a ridiculous thing.
18:38.4
It's a ridiculous case.
18:39.7
I did nothing wrong.
18:41.3
Last week, Merchan fined Trump $9,000
18:43.4
for nine social media posts
18:45.1
that he ruled had been used to
18:45.9
had violated the gag order.
18:47.9
New York law allows fines of up to $1,000
18:50.1
or jail time of up to 30 days
18:52.2
for violating a court-imposed gag order.

She says this is the result of the community
19:18.5
bringing the request to her
19:19.8
and to the representatives in Parliament
19:21.5
who in turn advocated for them in Ottawa.
19:24.4
The proposed budget,
19:25.4
which includes the federal commitment
19:26.6

Valdez says once the budget is passed,
19:33.7
they will take steps to ensure
19:34.8
that the project's construction will move forward.

Next steps is more really making sure
19:39.4
that we're working directly
19:40.6
with both the Filipino community
19:42.0
and with the provincial government
19:43.8
to see what ways we can help them.
19:45.9
move this work forward.
19:47.5
It's working together that will ensure
19:49.7
that this continues to happen
19:51.4
and keep moving forward from here on out.
19:55.6

a 33rd best-tasting cuisine in the world
21:28.4
by the online travel and food guide, Taste Atlas.
21:33.8
Mayaman ang kultura natin pagdating sa pagkain at paglulutok.
