kathleen climate change, this is a totally different will be piece of will be office, leave me. we are house with nature, no support from it on out you 0. the a historical event to joe biden drops off with a 2020 full presidential race less than 4 months before the us and action. the hello on elizabeth brown, and this is out of your life from the also coming up by them has endorsed. as vice president coming to have her so she will and, and on the nation and beach, donald trump for public and presidential candidate donald trump says bottom was

never set to run for president of the coming to harris is even less competent in this country. res malachi black women to be president over from dc to delaware, american versus way and on how they think the race has changed. the as 5 j. m t 1 in the morning in washington, dc off to a pedestal day in american history. the last president joe biden has dropped out of the 2020 full presidential race against donald trump. he's involved twice, president come to the house to take his place. a so have over a 100 congressional democrats, a white house correspondent, company how could begins coverage after days of isolation. recovering from cove it and deliver ration, consulting with his family and

a handful of friends. us president joe biden made his historic announcement on x hill. no longer seek the democratic nomination for president. i believe it's in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for the remainder of my term. i was so deeply moved by the presence of powerful and poignant statements which was truly courageous and visionary present by them has been one of the the greatest most courageous and consequential presence of american history. the calls for by then to drop his bid for a 2nd term exploded last month after what many critics described as a disaster is debate performance. it goes for were us president donald trump

stepping down 5 in immediately endorsed vice president comma la harris to be the democratic nominee. harris responded, saying, i'm honored to have the president's endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination. commer 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. his performance was, has been a debacle. i think that it made the public very nervous. the democratic national convention is just a month away by didn't had secured the most delegates to win the parties nomination with bite and gone. those delegates to automatically pass to harris. it's now what's known as an open convention with delegates free to support the candidates of

their choice. harris already has 2 powerful endorsements for were us president bill clinton and former 1st lady, and the 1st female nominated for president hillary clinton. but for us, president brock, obama and former 1st lady michelle obama have not endorsed harris. in his statement, obama writes the party will be navigating uncharted waters in the days ahead. republicans are threatening to challenge still biden's decision to step down. they argue a president no longer fit to be, the nominee should also no longer be running the country. kimberly health is elda 0. the white house that spring, and i'll call spawn. and kristen salumi, she's joining us live from new york and kristen more and more senior democrat state delegations coming off and supposed to come to harris and fundraising for her campaign, going through the roof a just indeed it was only 2 in the

afternoon on sunday when president joe biden announced that he would not be running for re election through his support behind comma, la harris. and even though it's a weekend and it was late in the day, we have seen many democrats rallying to her support, including people like transportation. secretary put a judge and sen elizabeth warren from massachusetts to people who ran against joe biden. back in 2020 most states party leaders. the majority of them have expressed their support for getting behind cala harris. as have all of the delegates in the state of tennessee, also coming behind her alexandria castillo cortez, a very influential member of the progressive left wing of the democratic party. also expressing her support. and we have been told by a key,

democratic fundraising group act blue that they are on track to have their best day of fundraising. so far this year in 2024. since the announcements that kala harris would be seeking the nomination at the democratic national convention in august at 9 p. m, they had said they had raised $47000000.00. now it's up to $66000000.00. again, looking to be a record for democrats as the base in particular, mobilizes behind harris. that said, there are still some key holdouts who haven't expressed their support for her. people like former president brock obama, while welcoming the president. a president's decision to step aside not fully endorse and complet harris, nancy pelosi has not yet wait in the former speaker of the house has not weighed in on harris's nomination, nor has chuck schumer,

the senate majority leader. so there are, are some 2 democrats, another one would be congressman jo mansion. he is in a swing state of virginia. he had been calling on biden to step down, but did not necessarily put his support behind harris just yet. but there are questions about whether there was some strategy behind those senior democrats. not supporting house, get lots of other questions to kristen before the democratic national convention next month. what would change in the procedure leading up to an ad the event a well, there really are a lot of questions of just how this is going to play out at the democratic convention later in august. joe biden, by winning the primary in all 50 states here in the united states, had secured about 4000 delegates, had been committed to support him at the convention by him dropping out of the race . he put his support behind by that behind harris. but that doesn't mean that the

delegates have to support harris. they now will have to be convince and vote as the party, as i said, some states have already committed to doing that, but many are, are not on the record yet. and it may be just that they haven't had a chance to react or to gather to vote or to discuss. but we know that there has been a lot of discussion going on behind the scenes. and that may also be that there are some people that still need to be convinced. so in the lead up to that convention, you can watch to see if the party does continue to call a less behind her hearing from people like gavin news. some of california or josh appear on pennsylvania throwed their support behind high harris is significant because those are people that were rumored to be possible contenders for the nomination themselves as president. but they're saying that they would support her . so we will be watching to see if uh, even more support comes in the coming days. or if new challenges arise,

to take to attempt to take votes away from her at the convention. christian, thank you very much for that. kristen salumi with all the latest developments live in new york. i shall pass on as a democratic political strategist, and he believes the party will easily endorse harris as its candidate of the democratic national convention. joe biden's endorsement goes a very long way for all of us who are delegates, who we are delegates mentioned to represent joe biden, and specifically dividing voters in our states. so he's saying something in particular, then that's can you carry a lot of weight more over. this is for somebody's already on the ticket as you've all already explained. so we've all already cast our implicit support for criminal harris. so now we're going to have the opportunity to do it explicitly. i will tell you this. so my seat party chair called me and said, would you support come with harris? i said yes. so i presume then that all of these other delegates are getting similar

calls from their state, pretty chairs, who they themselves have probably gotten a call from joe biden or the campaign. and so. so this is a process that is happening as we speak. and because it is happening so quickly, i think it will be, uh, i, i think you harris as a very good shot of getting the sports he needs from the delegates at the convention. it's already happening when it comes to the policies that joe biden and come with harris and push through for the last 3 and a half years. i should say 1st, their record of accomplishment is extraordinary. most people and i'm a progressive. we've had a number of criticisms with a democratic party and we had maybe lower expectations for the bite in harris administration. instead, what's happened is they deliver more and the last 3 and a half years and obama had and about 8 years. part of that is because of the republican positions, but biting in here as have been highly talented in getting legislation passed. that includes the infrastructure and the ad placed and reduction act,

which is the biggest climate and infrastructure bill. this country has seen in a generation. so when we take a look at our roads, the project, so you might be saying that americans might be seeing as they're kind of driving through our new schools, our new airports. those are things that by and has accomplished economically in terms of the things that he's been able to do, we've been able to lower inflation, increase jobs, increase, take home wages to all of these things. if you compare to where we were 4 years ago, which i think is actually very good comparison again, july of 2020 was very different than we went where we are today. i think that when biden and harris this case now harris, make the case for the policies that they push through, people will see what the difference is. republican presidential candidate donald trump has posted on his social media platform truth social. he says, joe biden wasn't fit to run for president and especially not fit to serve all those around him, including his doctor,

knew that he wasn't capable of being president. and he wasn't. look what he's done to our country. millions of people coming across on the border, we will suffer greatly because of his presidency. alan fisher was in washington dc and says the republicans will have to change tactics if paris becomes the democratic presidential candidate. i'm hearing from some republicans that they're going to in american terms, flooding the zone, which means essentially they're going to go on all low to attack against pamela harris to try and disable her at a very early stage. they want to attack cars that are going to tire the problems that the board, the going to say she knew about job items. the claimant is condition and did nothing about it. they're going to say that the problems with immigration and inflation can also be traced to the bite and hottest white house. and they're going to spend a lot of money doing this. i'm doing it very quickly. but i'm also hearing that the democrats have raised their own $75000000.00 since the

a nice meant that joe biden was going to step down. so we're going to see a lot of political lads, a lot of posts during and a lot of talking. they're going to try and stop a couple of highest before her campaign even begins to ignite across the country. but of course, we're 4 months away from the election. and that's expensive. and at the moment, the republicans on raising that sort of money miss wayne states, donald trump had a lead and that lead was increasing. however, you could come with how does up against your bite and, and then that's a completely different. so you put, come louder is up against donald trump. that's a completely different equation. she starts to tie and in some cases, even leave. i mean, those polls the effectively told joe biden he had to get out of the race because not only was he behind in swing states, but he was behind in states like virginia, a new mexico states that the democrats expected to win and did not expect to spend any money fighting those states essentially jo, buys is passed to the presidents. they went from there to there. it disappeared,

not quite overnight, but certainly in the last 3 weeks and start terrible debate performance. and so what the democrats will be hoping is a couple of hours we open up that path will be able to push forward. she will get the nomination from the convention in chicago next month. and then we'll spend 3 months on the campaign trail and certainly from what we're seeing. it looks as if a lot of big name endorsements are flying behind. and it would really a speaking to one democrats, but it would be political suicide for everyone to go up against her at the moment. this is really going to be the coordination of come up a couple of hers. and she is going to more than likely be the nomination. okay, right. and he's under has moved from outside of trump towel in new york. he built a campaign infrastructure to go against jo bite. that's very clear. now, joe biden will not be the person that donald trump is going up again. so yeah,

he's going to have to completely probably change his message as we heard from alan fisher already talking about some of that. but he has a major pivot to do now. and i'll tell you, he is now facing a someone that is certainly much younger than he is. certainly a woman and certainly who comes from a more diverse background than donald trump comes from. so he's gonna have to completely probably change his message because he knows that this is going to a rile of the democratic base. let's not forget, the majority of, of registered voters in the united states said they were not satisfied with either donald trump or joe biden. they wanted it different option. well now they have it. and that is now going to be the interesting part of is where we move on from here and how donald trump is going to have to reshape his message. he is up in a lot of the polls, almost all of the polls, but we'll have to see in the coming days, what the democrats do, what kind of momentum they get. and most importantly,

how you see donald trump shaped and re shaped his campaign message in the coming days, weeks and months. the wrong name is a full, i'm a spokesman for the republican national committee. and he says, republicans will now be less of a trump victory. well, everyone woke up this morning, it was a foregone conclusion that donald trump was going to win this election in november . and this causes a bit of a reset on that. i was up in milwaukee for the republican convention last week. it's the 5th one i've been to, and i don't know if i've ever left the convention where people were more optimistic about their chances of winning. i think that wasn't just the republicans in milwaukee. i think it was political handicapper. so around the world, and now we have to look at the new dynamics. this is no longer president trump versus president by the, as a new on and, and it certainly appears that it's going to be vice president. here's the vice presidential pick that could have an awful lot to do with the calculus of the

campaign, because we'll have to see from what state does that vice presidential candidate. com. a lot of the names are we're hearing our from battleground states. mark kelley from arizona, joshua bureau from pennsylvania, rory cooper from north carolina. those are all states that are gonna determine the outcome of the election. so a very big issue, the vice president harris is going to have to speak to. and that is, how long is the president been incapable of doing his job? and if he isn't capable of being on the campaign trail, can he remain as commander in chief i, i think it's a very fair question to be asked. and again, i think of something that will dog the vice president through this campaign. the country saw president biden go out for a debate when his campaign ended 3 thursdays. ready go and were stung by what they saw. a vice president harris is in regular contact with the president. when did she see bist administer capacity? it's going to be

a start in her shooting through the entire campaign. to the head on algebra would have the nations from the middle east, asia, and latin america as the world reacts to buy that decision to stay with us the, the, the had a lot of the, there's lots of hate to be found across the middle east event at the moment and things ongoing to get hotter in the days ahead, we've got heat wave conditions affecting eastern areas of the mediterranean, with yellow temperature warnings out for cyprus, israel and 11 on as well. but even syria, we'll see the temperatures. pick rights up 40 degrees in damascus on monday. 50 degrees in q 8 city. so exceptional, dangerous heat here. we'll see that heat start to push its way for the south coming into doha tossing figures the sitting up into the high forties in the days ahead.

but it is looking cooler for places like to you a e as well as on the temperature. sitting 39 degrees celsius in dubai and must got on choose day. and it's cool down across the north west of africa, thanks to cooler winds, blowing out of europe. you can see temperatures coming down for algebra, 2 new z a and libya. that's not the case. with egypt, the temperature of a sitting very high laundry, hot and dry conditions here through into the middle of the week. it's much which are farther south of this is more heavy rain thanks to the easterly waves for nigeria is the long, sweet, dry picture of the southern parts of africa looking woman in cape town on monday. the rain comes back on tuesday. the relationship with nature is one of in balance fossil fuel extraction, intensive agriculture, over consumption. it becomes quite clear. we need a reset,

ohio, the planet excuse how reassessing human kind place within the well is key to tackling climate change. this is a ton difference will piece piece of will leave me with hospice needs the no support from it on out you 0 the the you're watching, i'll just say or of of me it is was put on him into a reminder of on top stories. this out on us president joe biden has dropped on to the 2020 full presidential race against donald trump. he says he'll focus on fulfilling his duties as the president for the remainder of his term bought in

spring clinic to endorse weiss, president comment of harris to run in his place. she also had the support of cheap policy. so i guess including california governor gavin newsome was a potential bible for republicans, have been clipped to attack harris. the trump campaign released a video to start watching have punished for re quote. trump says the vice president would be easier to beat and fight it while the democratic national convention is set to kick off on august 19, that's where the policy will make the final decision on the nominee. my kind of reports as the spotlight is now shining brightly on cumberland, harris president biden's endorsement may make a pass to the democratic party nomination a lot easier, but they are still many hurdles in who way. former president bill clinton has endorsed us party candidates, along with some of the former colleagues on the senate. but the former president

obama made no mention of kamala harris and his statement reacting to president biden's decision to step down. instead, he said, we will be navigating uncharted waters in the days ahead. but i have extraordinary confidence that the leaders of potty will be able to create a process from which an outstanding no many images. there's also be no immediate endorsement from the senate majority leader, chuck schumer, the house minority leader hakim jeffries or the former speak up the house, and nancy pelosi cumberland harris broke one gen to ceiling. when joe biden, us to be, as vice president, picking the 2020 election going on to become the 1st female to hold the office. oh, it always did it. so you're getting a really nice president of the united states. harris pointed probably to the historic nature of the appointment as vice president. while i may be the 1st woman in this office, i will not be the last,

the because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities. as vice president harris was tossed tackling the sony issue of immigration, giving a trip to guatemala, she was criticized for what some liberal so as a harsh message do not do not come under relentless attacks from opposition, republicans and the right wing news media. harris struggled to wouldn't widespread public approval, although she remained popular with young voters and people of color. i'm going to run for re election power. so to really voters around issues of civil rights, excess, to abortion, and gun violence. we will not be defeated. we will not be deterred,

we will not come supporters with quick to go and attack posting video, accusing the of creating what is described as a folder invasion and runaway inflation lation. paris, a soap released the statement, thanking president biden for his leadership and accepting his endorsement as candidates. we have a 107 days until election day. she concludes. together we will fight, and together we will win california georgie, win the nomination and defeat donald trump in the election. the door, tough, jamaican, an indian immigrant parents would become the 2nd, the black president of the united states and the 1st woman to hold the office. my kind of, i'll just the era washington clot texaco is a full and democratic state senator for not north carolina as he's. and he says if

harris becomes the presidential nominee, his vice presidential pick would be crucial of many of the reasons that we were talking amongst ourselves about why we saw he should step aside, are still relevant in this decision of how we pick the next presidential candidate my preference is that it would not be in a nort month, but it wouldn't be more of a of an open convention. i want come on harris. i was glad that she was selected 4 years ago. i think she wouldn't be a good president. i'm just talking about the process and what i think would be better, not only for the democratic party, but for the country in the long run to, to go through a more open open process that may or may not happen. we may find so many people as one person said falling in line that that becomes a big point. and that of, and she is the and she's the nominee, in which case, streamlined florida, who she picks for vice president. and in some of those people who are being talked

about as potential presidential candidates, could also be a wonderful vice presidential candidate if let's say, for example, comfortable harris is the nominee picking someone like a governor and in the share of kentucky who has proven he's young he's proven he can win in a state that went over whelming wait for donald trump. she takes away. oh, is there any if there are any advantages that j dean vance brings to the republican ticket of being from the midwest. um, and to be sure takes those away. he is from kentucky. he would be has the value is the is shown, he can win on a more moderate approach. he has, he would be excellent balance. we're kind of on harris or others again. and if you choose to run, he be a very valid candidate on his own. and there are others when we are tracking reactions to the story from around the world that correspondence of following

developments in the middle east, europe flashing america. first, let's hear from home. the sun hoot but 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 kalonde, 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, 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. that's for going on. corresponding to eunice kim, she's joining a lot from the south korean capital sole, the race of course, being watched closely across the asia pacific. eunice. what reactions have we seen so far? a hi, liz,

that's right. the news broke overnight for us here in east asia, and it is being treated as the top story for many tv stations here. and the headline on the front page of we're not able to read bite in steps aside with $107.00 days to go to the us elections. and under the image there it says unable to overcome the walls of old age. now both south korean president used to go and japanese prime minister to me, ok, see to have reserved directly commenting on the development side is that they are a different countries affairs, but they are also known to have enjoyed very close composite president. so, fighting, as the leaders aligned to behind a, a complimentary if you will in the pacific strategy to prepare for a potential contingency along is amidst the competition with china as well as north

korea is military publications. now it just has a prime minister for me. ok, she did was asked during a press conference on this monday on the development and he said that it, it is a decision that bite in beings is the best politically. and that they will be watching it very closely. given that japan's diplomatic and security politics remains as the alliance as a lynch pin for tokyo and it will no doubt be watched very closely where you are in south korea. eunice donald trump said last week when he accepted the nomination as the republican candidate that he thinks the north korean leader, mrs. him what's at stake for the korean peninsula and the tensions there. yeah, that's a great question. november 5th, obviously, very closely watched here. given i think unpredictable is a fair word run during former us.
