7:00 am
the safe them even come in as an international inside corruption, excellence award. denominator here on now the i promised to be a president for all americans. so promising a new way forward some of the house except support his nomination, making history as the 1st black woman and the 1st asian american to run for president the madison. this is all 0 life and job also coming up
7:01 am
a cycle of death and displacement in gaza is really forces killed at least 47 palestinians. tens of thousands of people are forced to move again. rush as president accuses ukraine of attempting an attack on the cost of nuclear power stations ahead of the international nuclear watched august heading there next week and hundreds of thousands of people. the nigeria are forced out of times and villages of to floods destroy homes and farm land, the charging a new way forward in a divided nation. a message of unity from pamela harris has made history as the 1st black and asian american women to run for president. i. your nominate was received a standing ovation, knew the product of democratic national convention in chicago,
7:02 am
where she formerly accepted the policies nomination. she began with a personal journey as the daughter of immigrants and her role as a prosecutor for defining home vision and how she'll leave america both at home and abroad. our nation with this selection has a precious sleeping opportunity to move past the bitterness, cynicism and divisive battles of the past. a chance to charge a new way forward not, not as members of any one party or faction, but as americans. and let me say, i know there are people of various political views watching tonight, and i want you to know, i promise to be a president for all americans. so
7:03 am
to americans fundamental principles from the law to free and fair elections to the peaceful transfer. 2 of power. good bringing. kimberly how good is inside the convention venue in chicago. so irrespective almost of whatever happens in the november account of the house has made history. but how do you think she came across it's there's no question that she seemed to connect with those in the audience. in this convention hall in chicago, it was an electric feeling. there was standing room only. it was filled to the rafters, blissfully. as people were listening, it was almost eerily quiet as a kind of how in the, on every one of her words. and the applause on certain lines that people wanted to
7:04 am
hear was thunderous. it was, it was difficult to hear my self speak at different moments. what it seemed is that she really connected on issues where you could tell people were hurting, and that was issues of the economy. the inflation rate right now is high and people are struggling to pay for basic goods, things at the grocery store, things at like red and heating costs, and comma la harris painted a very dark picture of what a trump presidency could be like. and what he might do, not only on the issue of what it would mean for their costs, but also he, she painted a very dark picture of what he might do on the issue of immigration. take a listen. he doesn't actually site for the middle class, not he doesn't actually fight for the middle class. instead he fights for himself
7:05 am
in his billionaire friends and he will give them another round of tax breaks that will add up to 5 trillion dollars to the national debt. and all the while he intends to enact what in effect is a national sales tax call it a trump tax. that would raise prices on middle class families by almost $4000.00 a year. well instead of a trump tax hike, we will pass a middle class tax cuts after decades in law enforcement. i know the importance of safety and security, especially at our border last year, joe and i brought together democrats and conservative republicans to write the strongest border bill in decades. the border patrol endorsed it, but donald trump believes
7:06 am
a border deal would hurt his campaign. so he ordered his allies in congress to kill the deep water used to play politics with our security. and here's my provides to you as president, i will bring back the bi partisan board, a security bill that he killed and i will sign it into law. the to our heritage, as a nation of immigrants and reform are broken immigration system. we passed away to citizenship and secure our border. so kimberly, we've seen over the last 4 days, there's been an air of i, of party and celebration at at the dnc. but of course not at the conference is over
7:07 am
the $7474.00 day con, done to the election begins. and that is going to be the difficult part. what happens back on the campaign trail? well, what we know is that they both the candidates, whether it's carmella harris and her running mate, tim balls, or whether it's the republican challenger, donald trump, and his running mate, j. d. vance. they are hitting the campaign trailer. we should point out that watching all of this was donald trump and he was live tweeting to sort of countering a lot of the arguments that cala harris was making. and one of his biggest criticisms of her speech was particularly on the issue of border security. is but if she was planning to secure the border and this is certainly true, she was passed with this as vice president. why did she do this for the last 3 years? and in fact, many of these policy proposals she had the opportunity to do as vice president. so
7:08 am
this is a question that in fact, he can post or her directly because the 2 will face off in the debate next month. it will be the 1st time the 2 will have their opportunity to have a presidential debate. so that is something else the 2 will be doing in addition to campaigning as you point out because there are just over 70 days until the polls closed in november for election day. anybody hall codes inside that convention venue in chicago. kimberly thank you very much indeed. on account of the house also spoke about both reinforcing us support for israel while needing to secure a cx, 5 deal, and eventual palestinian self determination with respect to the war and gaza. the present environment on a working around the clock. because now is the time to get a hostage deal and a face fired deal done.
7:09 am
and let me be clear, i will always stand up for israel's right to defend itself. for israel has the ability to defend itself, because the people of israel must never again face the horror that a terrorist organization called her mom called on october 7th. and the message is for of young people at a music festival. at the same time. what has happened in gaza over the past 10 months is devastating. so many people waiting for stacy over and over again,
7:10 am
the scale of suffering is heart breaking the president by then i a working to end this war such that israel is secure. the hostages are released the suffering in gaza and, and the palestinian people can realize their right to the funny cause, the distinguished public policy father with the american university of babies. he's joining us not from boston. thank you very much. indeed for being with us. you've obviously had that clip from a couple of hours there. do you think that that would be enough to satisfy people who are supporting palestinians and ones and ends to israel's warren garza of for sure. it will not be enough, but also for sure. it is an intriguing, small rhetorical step that we want to the uh that what,
7:11 am
what the appetite for the people who oppose or the uncommitted movement and others to hear more and more importantly, to meet with her. she could not say anything more than she said now, because she's not president, and she won't be present if she wins until um, well, after the election you the january is what she thinks over the new president. but if she wins on november, that's the months you want to look at to see if she's gonna start making substantive policy changes. barton harris, who's the vice president now are trying desperately to get a ceasefire in place. and the only person who's not allowing that to happen is as nothing, you know, these really prime minister. but what she said was a significant rhetorically. from such a stage, perhaps the most watched a speech by
7:12 am
a politician in the whole world. i imagine i know that something like 22000000 people watching last night. this today was probably 25 or more to say what she did there. then explicitly talk about the palestinians. realize not before they used to say to still have a political horizon to, to have aspirations for a decent life. she's talking about the palestinians must be able to realize dignity, security, freedom, and self determination. and self determination is the key is the key words, those are treating symes. what you said about israel is probably what they call boiler pipes. basic off the shelf comments that every american politician makes them hard. keeping israel secure is not our choice. it's a lot or the congress passed the 25 years ago or so that the united states has committed by law to keep israel stronger than any combination of its phones in the
7:13 am
region, our iranian, whoever, it may be. so the commitment to israel is already there, but it's not a presidential option. the option she does have, which will be a treat to hear about if she mentions a, is to implement the american laws that make it illegal to sell alarms to countries that use them in a way that violates other people's human rights, which is happening in israel that's the place to look for signs but, but this was about as far as she can go. and i think the last thing i'll mention here is that the nature of the movement that is critical for they are committed, move on to the call. now, this is a very sophisticated moment, and the most fascinating thing about it is the nature of the power of america. most of the american leaders in michigan, i'm another of, uh, illinois and other places who work together for years and years and years of local
7:14 am
level politics, state level politics, and now moving into national politics. this is a very significant new sign on the american political scene. so we've got to keep watch all these things and the next month or 2. and i just want to ask you briefly, i mean, we know that the dnc had denied a request to have a pro palestinian speaker at the conference. i was reading that in an organization called the muslim women for hire us, which is i think part of that unconfirmed. uncommitted forgive me. national movement has already said that they're gonna support their, their poor support for hers because they wouldn't be allowed to speak to the convention going forward. do you think this is something she might actually be forced to deal with more and be i'd be more focused on if more people do start to pull their support. it depends on how close the races are in 6 or so. she a swing states, the michigan,
7:15 am
wisconsin, a georgia, north carolina. now arizona, there's only about 6 states that are going to determine who's the president of all the other states. we know we're going to go either for the democrats or the republicans, but these 6 states are where the uncommitted votes are the greatest, and the races very close. um, so in a month or so, we'll have a much better idea of exactly how close it is. if, if she's 6 or 7 percentage points, the head of chrome and all the polling, she'll ignore these calls. gosh, she, if she is 2 or 3 percentage points ahead, she'll hope she'll probably want to pay attention to that. but she's got to be careful. she can treat the voice of the most of the americans on out of americans on all the coalition of african americans, hispanics, the trade unions, churches, labor unions, or there's incredible color. some of those come together progressive jewish students as
7:16 am
a real national home and that will see and manifested on campuses the college campuses that open out that home and is focused on a lot of things. but gazda is the immediate one because it's a moral issue because the us is funding and protecting. and i'm a photo marine providing all rooms for the genocide. there's a direct direct link so that there's quite a few things that are linked together and she'll definitely have to pay more attention to these issues with the chick only the stuff at a time running. currently. we appreciate you being with us and i'll just say they're giving us the benefit of your expertise and this. thank you very much. indeed, sir. the launch on his mouth as is the general counsel of the national council of negro woman. she's joining his life from inside the conference center with a a convention has been happening. thank you very much. indeed for being with us. i'm going to ask you of course, 1st of all, what was the impact on you of the speech by capital harris? well, we didn't hear any news line items in the speech. what we heard was an emphasis on
7:17 am
thinking on the point that she wanted to leave uppermost in the minds of the viewers in the lives of which ones her strength in terms of handling crime or of strength in terms of dealing with foreign policy. her strength in dealing with the economy. i think those with a note that and just for she was is the person her tough move encourage. i think those with the points she wanted to leave the listeners with me or anything new, but just reassure that she is the person that she present themselves to be i. i have read that because of horace's bi racial background and the fact that she is in our she's been in twos, are being hard to pin down i a logic died here logically. and that makes our hard to kind of package um, or to put a stamp on essentially to clearly identify particularly among voters. in your opinion, do you think that that is a hard little do you think that might actually benefit given the fact that most
7:18 am
people's lives are pretty blurry? if i understand your question correctly, i think the fact that are mixed heritage is evidence. and that she is chosen by her associations with howard university, with alpha kappa alpha, somebody to show them to identify almost in the same way the brock obama did. if he was approaching the president to embrace the diversity of his heritage and use it to their advantage rather than a disadvantage. it says being assumed that, of course black voters will be key to propelling democrats as they would be key to propelling any a presidential candidates. do you think that is that i should be a significant focus for the democrats, or should the focus actually be elsewhere as well? well, the united states is main thing is, you know, as well as i do have not better the united states is facing a variety of challenges. the economy is beginning to slow
7:19 am
a little bit in place and is still a problem. we've got was on 2 front and we've got a very defensive opponent to counselor harris and the presidential race their number upfront on which united states is going to have to step carefully and were reassured that it will. i think the fact that there's so much genuine enthusiasm among the support of the democratic party at least that that effect over the short period of time that left in the campaign season should uh, in your, to the benefit of the cameras campaign. given day the subject especially covered in her speech as a menacing looking back at it. and you think that she should have focused on more specifically that she may have to deal with in the run up to the election. well, it's difficult to say there's only so much that a president can do about the economy if the federal reserve votes within the next
7:20 am
few weeks and they will begin to ease and reduce the interest rates somewhat. give people a little bit more assurance that the real estate market as will recover and people will be able to buy homes that reasonable rates and interest. i think that that would be a boon to her candidacy. john, as mathis, the general counsel of the national council of negro woman, and we appreciate it. thank you very much indeed for your time. meanwhile, republican presidential candidate donald trump's visit to the us mexico border and the swing states of ira zone. emigration has been a hot button issue. this election republicans have criticized carmella houses, immigration policies accusing her of failing to protect the border. speaking next to a pile of metal for the border walls. trump has blamed democrats for framing to finish it. if you take a look interestingly at the all of the wall that's lying on it side, that could have been put up in a matter of weeks, it was all set to go. it was all cut out. and if you look at the top of the
7:21 am
mountain behind us is all shaped all ready to go. could have been put up in a few weeks. much of its been sold for $0.05 and the dollars very expensive. of the israeli forces of killed many 50 palestinians as they intensified the offensive. and what was once described as so called safe areas in central and southern gaza, internally displaced, palestinians, crumpton, densely populated areas are being told to leave. and that's depriving families access to water and vital health services people in gaza or on the move once again, even if the buddy their loved ones are some of the things of age reports. the theme repeated many times and going to be more than $40000.00 palestinians have been killed. the bodies of the dead are taken from alexa, hospitalized for burial, for it is really a tax in the block. the world is upside down and say,
7:22 am
these parents as the old continue to bury the young people decided to return to their homes. think of something that you saw in the army. saw them walk in on the street and executed some parents a motion that is the smallest coffins with the heaviest as increasing numbers of children are killed in this war. and this all. busy to come, but if you will are the, the own. i'm sitting on the rubble of my house and the remains of my children says this father, the 70 year old has lost several family members at his home in big block. yeah. up in the us. we were at the screen, the whole family when they began to hit schools, the children and my grandchildren came to the house to sleep. i was sleeping outside. just often midnight. we heard a sound, and the school is mia. we looked over from the school and it turned out to be our house. we came to what you see here, rubble with us in the body parts left some others i enjoyed. the health industry
7:23 am
says at least 11 people were killed, but is really strikes here as the forces continued to hit a number of neighborhoods in central and southern gaza. the hospitals, schools, most churches, everything has been attacked all over the receipt strip and no very safe. 1 it's a vicious cycle for many civilians who survive. each night strikes wake up, carry the dead crate. and then once again, people don't have enough time to warn. as they receive more is really orders to evacuate. some have been forced to move dozens of times since october. 6 is a tank simple to push for any areas of hon. eunice. any here say is really gunfire from several friends, herded them towards this area. there's a honda because it's not bad that it's just football displacement cost. as too many ation and suffering, we spend our time on the shelves and gunfire and moving from one area to another.
7:24 am
