3:30 am
are claiming that present binds withdrawal is tantamount to disenfranchising millions of voters. we spoke to a legal experts saying that's nonsense. um, you know, it's interesting the reaction to a bind, withdrawing from the race has been very strong. it was literally less, but wasn't it? is it is going as there's nothing around the voters, they basically the, the, the baseline made sure that no criminal candidate were heard against you buying the fire menu that he was going down hill fast. they did not give orders just a democratic voters, a chance to have a chance to look at somebody or have a buyer to be sure that, that anyone running a guess to buy with other agent base him the base early on their mind as far as buying for us, for as a witness and trying to decline, they might have someone else do it. right. i think it's an around around the voters
3:31 am
. tomlin harris in there. i think carol harris is a very jenny, me she was, she did the really the primary twine twine and she's, she's kind of a, a tom. right? yeah. i think that the bite as you know was, was trying to, she basically called by racing. so it's kind of an odd kind of pairing and she's not very, that's not affective. and that is people really like iris and they will watch the with the different newspapers. right. the wish for can get jeffrey, i guess yours was pretty systems pretty, pretty john. sorry, i want to focus on the, to your p. um, so just in the final question to you. so going forward, what do you think you know, their strategy will be as well. i think the strategy is going to be a lot of us talking about the sump record, which, you know, most voters are very good. you have some pain with the economy and now we're having
3:32 am
crime of whole showing that he see that the effect of job the let us delta for those bush years. but for those copiers yeah, the yes. the harris i'm record which is like this home. yeah. and um, yeah, it really doesn't change that much just because bite is not part of that, but here's, here's, here's deserves must blames binders and then to find yours for her level view. and she's pretty far like she, she told me she'd be all the protesters that burned down. i see the stores and i should. yeah, i think they'd probably have to read it. oh yes. they would. they would take issue with that. and obviously they would also point out to advances records and the president trump the record as well, that people have some issues all the way to her was actually very good. and that there's their self worth. my mother's one child that yeah, well we'll have to say november we'll uh, we'll come soon john, uh, a fairy, a republican strategist to talking to us. so thank you. thank you. and the speaker of the house, my johnson, as i just said,
3:33 am
says the republican party could legally challenge the replacement of joe biden, to go some. and these elections are handled at the state level. every state has its own system in it. and some of these it's, it's not possible to simply just switch out a candidate who has been chosen through the democratic small deed, democratic process. over such a long period of time, 14000000 democrats voted to make joe biden to nominate. so it would be wrong. and i think on lawful it in accordance to some of these states rules for a handful of people to go in a back room and switch it out because they're, they don't like the candidate any longer. that's not how this is supposed to work. so i think they would run into some legal impediments and at least a few of these jurisdictions. and i think they'll be a compelling case to be made that that shouldn't happen. and so i think they've got legal trouble if that's there and you know, that's our intention and that's their plan. bruce fine is a former us associate deputy attorney general and he says there's no legal basis for the house speakers claims. i think secret johnson was stating
3:34 am
nonsense on stilts is here fellow during the bentham set about the british common law. the united states supreme court held the case many years ago called cousins against will go to that political parties are private organizations. and they have exclusive jurisdiction to prevent any state government from deciding who should be attending and voting as they will at a convention to select a presidential nominees. there was a case concerning, a dispute, internal party dispute among the democrats who would represent uh, the delegation from illinois. and the court made it quite clear. know, the democratic and republican parties are private organizations. they have exclusive authority over deciding who gets the vote for the nominated for press. i think this would be relating to the internal party routes that may provide that if
3:35 am
you. ready were selected, committed to vote for a particular candidate like by um you are bound and you cannot vote for someone else be so called faithless delegate. but here where mr. biden is the one who would say i'm releasing you and i don't know whether he could direct them to vote for campbell here, or she could urge them to do that. i think if he released them from voting for himself, they may have been free choice to vote for whoever they want. now that may be more academic than real, depending upon how much loyalty they have for bite. and so they may vote for a camella harris. but that's kind of a small glitch. i do not think that's an insuperable problem. and remember that the democrats, again, being a private party, could change the rules with regard to how you deal with situation, which is unique in a long time, where
3:36 am
a candidate drops out after having one delegates and is a thought, the rising is delegates or directing them to vote for a different can. so. all right, let's state you live now to new york city. gabriel elizondo was standing outside from howard. i gave what's happening around you and now what's been the reaction to the news of a bind dropping out of his every election bit the yeah, we've been out here outside of from trump tower. uh for the last several hours. it's been very quiet and normal. there's no protests, no trump supporters that have come out at all. it's mostly tour. it's quite frankly, is that's what murphy's 5th avenue in new york city is on weekends and tours, going up and down, taking photos in front of trump tower. and i asked a few of them, where are you from? did you see the news? everybody said they've seen the news usually on their phone. and it was pretty much met with a shrug of the shoulders. i said, what do you think about the us present,
3:37 am
joe? by not deciding to pull out, not run again for this re election, they sort of shrugged their shoulders and so on and said crazy. in fact, one, a gentleman i spoke to from ireland said, while i thought the politics in my country was crazy, where i'm probably is crazy. it's nothing compared to this. so that's generally the sentiment that we've been hearing from most people here on what has been a pretty calm and pretty normal uh afternoon evening here in midtown new york. and dave, what impact is any, will these events have on the political landscape of the state of new york where you are of the not much new york is the bluest of blue states. joe biden won this state 4 years ago. it's 60 percent of the vote. this is a democratic state for sure. there are parts of new york state that are pretty conservative. more of the rural areas, the north, staten island as well as it tends to be more conservative. but overall,
3:38 am
new york state votes, democrat, especially the big cities, especially new york city and most populous area of new york state. overwhelmingly democratic. so it's not going to cost that much of a change, quite frankly, new york was a democratic state before it's democratic state. now, and it will be a democratic state moving forward with that set though, a biden's numbers were slipping a lot here in new york and, and trump was gaining a lot in the polls in new york. of course doesn't matter anymore because bind is no longer going to be running for re election. so i think the democrats feel pretty good about where they will be at when it comes to the selection in new york. and i gave and conclusion. you're standing there, i mean, trump for a tower right behind you. so we understand from smart has to pivot. now the most certainly is going to have to fit it. i mean, trump isn't here. he said more lago in florida, but of course this is the iconic trump tower. i will say trump's whole campaign was
3:39 am
built about running against one person. and that's job id. that is now changed dramatically. that's no longer the case. so he's essentially going to have to not only pivot, but pretty much rip up is playbook if you will, and totally change his campaign for someone that's a new candidate. now, a new opponent and a new opponent. that's very different than joe by counselor harris. obviously, a woman, a woman of color, much younger than joe, but then donald trump, so you add all that up and the dynamics of this election has totally changed. i think the way that donald trump approaches it is probably gonna have to change as well. i was on the way of reporting from new york city. thank you very much. i and so have here on algae 0. bring your war role in coverage of the us election campaign after presidential barton has announced he's dropping out of the race. these are life pictures of the white house. he's not expected to address the nation
3:40 am
on sunday, but sometime later this week. thanks so much and we'll be right back. the have a lovely that remains a saga situation so much of solved asia. thanks for the monsoon rains that continue to push to run shall rain into eastern parts of india that has caused water logging in my roster. we are expecting multiple flooding is while across those central areas putting out east. this is where the rain falls heaviest. on monday, a little so bubble up into more knowles and areas as we go into choose today. it is looking a lot quiet down the coast southern parts of india into shoreline cars as well, which is the scattering of showers. the rain pushes heavily around coastal areas of
3:41 am
the bay open go in to me and mount as well as bungalow dash on choose day. it's much t y. a picture, however, to the north west, just for shot was coming into eastern parts of i've got to start and northern parts of pucca sand. but a large hot and humid picture, full karachi, as we go into the middle of the week, is being very hot and humid across central and southern parts of china. it is going to get west. so as we go into the middle part of the week, not just across the north, as the storms, it continue have got a developing tropical fi icon down in the south that is expected to strengthen into a tie food. and it's likely to bring those flooding rains and exceptionally powerful wins to southern china by the end of the a $150.00 is that the gyptian history seems for an extraordinary photographic archive. this remarkable treasure troves shows how well photographers captured key
3:42 am
military historical moments from the earliest partition occupation to the arab israeli, who was the 20th century and the contrast of emotions in victory and defeats egypt through the lens. conflicts on al jazeera, what does a, i really mean for the future of humanity? what sort of future society we want? it creates all of this technology roommates. do we still have power of choice, age guys, which actually economists and operating and doing this is the apple kind of technician, oh, is it already too late? so if corporations, there's more power might in the bill in an entire country, the future is going to be good for the eyes would be nice if to before she needs as well. as human on al jazeera, the, the,
3:43 am
[000:00:00;00] the, you're watching out, is there a little hard rock we're bringing you live rolling coverage of the us presidential or the us selection race rather presents a job i, in an announced just hours ago that he will be stepping aside as candidate for the democrats and endorsed his vice president, complet harris to run in his stead. let's take a closer look now at the key moments that lead to binds withdrawal on june 27th, president vine, and his opponents. former president donald trump wins head to head in the 1st debate ahead of november's election by its performance. let 2 were growing concerns among the democrats after he was seen to flounder, while articulating t issues. and i days later, tom democrats including read hastings called on him to step aside,
3:44 am
worried about his ability to be trump. then on july 10th, peter welch became the 1st senator to publicly call for biden's withdrawal. the next day by an accidentally called ukrainian presents a landscape president putin, a head of a nato press conference on july, 13th, public, and kind of a trump was shot in, in the fascination attempt at a campaign rally in pennsylvania on friday by and reiterated that he will stay in the race despite the increasing pressure on him to quit. now from new york to ohio and, and wisconsin voters in the united states have been reacting to binds exits from the presidential race. his performance was, has been a debacle. i think that it made the public very nervous as far as him going into
3:45 am
this presidential race. he made age based the major part in politics and making decisions. i think it's a good decision. i think he didn't have a chance against trump too many people are concerned about his age, which i was to look at what he's done to our world. i just, i think donald trump should have been back a long time ago. there are certain things he can still do, but he can't campaign anymore. so i'm, i'm sad and he's a, he's a, he's a true patriot for stepping down. he's fast. i don't, i didn't see him. and so there will be entry, just interesting to see how it all things hash out. looks like it's gonna be kind of the harris which i'm fine with. i think it's very surprising news. um, definitely not something i personally san coming. i think it puts the entire election in a kind of
3:46 am
a weird position. i think comma harris is the easiest pick based on the back to the vice president. and i think it would be tough for the party to try to go a different direction than that. and my colleague is so hell rahman i spoke with jeremy as kyle, a journalist, and co founder of drops our news. and he told him the democratic parties policy on israel and gaza is likely to change regardless. it from takes over from by take was obviously, um the, the presidents mental acu man came under intense scrutiny, although it's been an open secret in washington for years now that joe biden is far, far from the political figure or the man that he was decades ago. but it also comes at a time when you have donald trump writing this boost from the attempt on his life in pennsylvania. and then you have the war and gaza, which is just continuing on. and the democratic party has been hemorrhaging support,
3:47 am
particularly from young people, from air of americans, from ordinary americans across the ethnic and religious spectrum, who just don't want their tax dollars going to finance what they clearly see is a genocide. so i, i think that as i, as i assess this moment, one font that comes to mind is that the, the war and gaza has really uh, accentuated the cold hard fact that the us policy toward israel is a firmly bi partisan one. and so regardless of who would pick up the ban mantle from july and whether it's pamela harris or it's got a new some, or it's any number of other democrats on the issue of israel and us view of palestinians is less than human beings, as indicated by the policy is gonna remain the us policy regardless of who wins the white house or who wins the open convention or the selection process from the elite some of the democratic party. but it is going to be a policy that's going to have to be justified if you're going to get that use vote
3:48 am
out. all those that decided not spend a topic that has been repeated in the conversations i've had in the last few hours . is that reassignment list? right, and let's take a couple of harris as an example. she's cheating her track record on israel and gaza issues didn't begin the day that she and joe biden were sworn into office. in fact, her reputation in the us senate was uh, being a particularly strong supporter of israel in 2017 as a senator. she met with netanyahu, and you know, that posted up a smiling picture. she's repeatedly gone to visit a pack. she dissented when president brock obama abstained from a boat at the united nations security council. she's on record is saying that the issue of israel's violently annexed territories. and um, illegal settlements that the united nation should play no role in this. so you know, when, when, when people talk about, oh, well maybe this opens up space to reclaim some of that use about if you just
3:49 am
scratch a little bit at the surface of cala harris's record, even prior to becoming vice president, you see someone who was both separately, pro is real, including when it was at its most brutal as vice president. as you, you indicate it does seem like in the spring, the white house decided that comma la harris would be the most senior person in the us government to start to express. kind of this forced empathy with the suffering palestinians of gods. and so you can pinpoint and march and april a couple of key moments where it was clear that they were, they were sort of testing the waters on what it might look like for complet harris to adopt a different line then president binding, who was full throated supportive of the israeli government, in fact she became the most senior us official, although it was couched and, and, and there were caviar to mention the word ceasefire in the affirmative. so it's clear that there was some thought or thought that went into this. but what i'm saying is that if you look at an up clearly factual level um, almost any one that would possibly be chosen to replace joe biden at the top of the ticket in hair
3:50 am
a seems to be the front runner right now. that person is going to maintain this bi partisan u. s. policy of just merciless punishment of the palestinians in favor of an unquestioning servitude to israel's policy towards the palestinians. and we're monitoring a reaction from around the world. our correspondence are following the developments in europe. russia and latin america, and 1st we're going to hear from honda. so who to with reaction from the mid east? well we haven't heard from prime minister benjamin netanyahu, which is interesting considering that he's supposed to fly to washington on monday and then meet with us presidential binding on tuesday. but we have heard from the countries president isaac heard song to emphasize that joe biden was the only us president to visit israel at war time. and that he also wanted to thank president joe biden for his support for israel. additionally, we heard from the defense ministry of, of kalonde,
3:51 am
who did say that joe biden support for israel during this current war on gaza. is something that is quote, in valuable. we do know that by that has been supporting israel and how they've been prosecuting this war. whether it's through weapons or moral support, constantly speaking with is really leaders throughout it. and it's kind of become unpopular for him back at home, where the war has become such a controversial issue in terms of a change in policy with the united states as a whole has had a policy when it comes to israel, their, their biggest ally in the middle east, the americans say they are preserving american interest abroad, which is why this relationship is so strong. so no matter who is on the democratic ticket and no matter who eventually is the united states president, the support for israel is going to remain the same. and i want to point to something that members of nathaniel whose own government have said months ago when they didn't agree with the decisions that joe biden was making when it came to the war, saying that he wasn't supporting israel enough. now these are known,
3:52 am
alter nationals. these are members of the far right camp. settlers themselves who have said that they're waiting for trump in november because they are going to have essentially a free pass to do whatever they want. a canadian prime minister just intruder though, arguably the closest ally of the united states has thanked by and for his service in a statement on x 2 doses, i've known president bind for years. he's a great man and everything he does is guided by his love for his country as president. he's a partner to canadians and a true friend. and the us presidential race is being watched closely across latin america. our editor of a c. a newman has the reactions from santiago after by and dropped his re election, but the general feeling in latin america is one of release of also certain puzzlement as to what to job. i do so long to decide to step down, and that's because the general consensus in this part of the world as in many others,
3:53 am
in fact is the joe biden had become an electable. he could not be re elected. and that's what really concerns most countries in this region, and that is because there was very little loved last for donald trump. he was not well liked during his 1st presidency, he was seen as beings and phobic, anti migrant and even more so now that he's running on a campaign that's even more anti migrant than most of those migrants are from latin america as we all know. so there is a sense that whoever is going to replace joe biden as the democratic presidential candidates will have more or less the support, at least in the hearts of most latin americans. with the exception, perhaps of the government of argentina, which is very, very close to to donald trump. that is, we're talking about the delay government, but just about everybody else. even the conservative government seem to believe that a trump administration will hurt the economy of the region more than the democratic
3:54 am
one and certainly that it will destabilize the world more than it is they believe already see in human outages. hara santiago a. and there's also been reaction coming in from moscow. you your shop of all over the house. the details most could believe that invite of team remains in the white house. he's withdrawal from the presidential race will not change the us johnson you frame the us will continue. supposing it crammed in sparks pass, and to me trip a scope. i said that russia's priority is achieving the goals of it special mutual operation in ukraine. i know the results of the us elections at the same time. he has not said that there was to a long time to go before the us selections and a little can change during this period of time. russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman murray is a harbor, has said that an investigation is now needed into the conspiracy of the american media and political circles who were hiding the true picture of binders. mental
3:55 am
states, as they were manipulating public opinion. according to the our law, and according to richard slot, villages rushes, the house of parliament speaker, state de must speak to us present. joe biden should be held accountable for sanctions against russia, the conflicting ukraine as well as for the destruction of b, u. economy. and now the state duma, deputy lou needs slootsky, has said been binders and ministration, actually stops have become fixing ukraine. so the relationship between the us and russia have recently been as a story for low. but despite the old presence to me, patient has many times said that russia will work with any person in the white house. you lash above oliver ultra 0, most screw or, and polish prime minister donal to, to sca limited and bind support around the ukraine war when a knowledge in his decision in a statement say many times you have made difficult decisions that have made poland, america,
3:56 am
and the world safer and democracy and freedom stronger. i know that you were guided by the same principles when announcing your latest decision, perhaps the most difficult one in your life force is in london with more on what leaders across europe have been saying. well that ends up contesting in the coming . your selection could be pivotal for the security situation in europe. and the nice person in statement on that school was one of the last ones to come through at from york's lead as president for them is the, let's give you crane writing that ukraine was grateful for biden's unwavering support in the struggle against russia. and i'm the bind policies on support in the united states. i was thankful for bite and supporting you cried during the most dramatic moments in its history and hoping the americas continued support and leadership will prevent russian aggression from paying off site price. providing
3:57 am
them perhaps, a veiled appeal to trump, the republicans if they happen to win the election elsewhere in europe, springs, padre sanchez called by them. this decision, a great gesture from a great presence of shots, of germany thinking bite and for making nighttime strong got nothing as yet from a manual micro of friends. as he proposed freely olympic games in paris next week and recovers from his own disastrous election. but in many ways the coming us selection could be more crucial for friends and say, your a full res, i'll just era blended. and before i let you go, or just to recap of the latest that we've been covering for you, us president job i has dropped out of the race for the white house and endorsed vice president's complet harris. we'll have lots more on these fast moving developments. i'll be back at the top of the hour for now. thank you so much for spending this part of your day with us.
