hello, i'm sumi somaskanda. us vice president kamala harris says she will not be silent on the suffering of palestinian civilians, and says she conveyed that message to israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, in a white house meeting thursday. in a signal of the change of tone that might come if she's elected in november, the vice president told reporters that while she would continue to affirm israel's right to defend itself, she said it was time to end the "devastating" war and get a hostage deal done. in remarks after the meeting, ms harris, the presumptive democratic presidential candidate, described her conversation with mr netanyahu as "frank". and amid tense protests coinciding with mr netanyahu's visit to washington, dc, she concluded her remarks with a call for unity. it is important for the american people to remember the war in gaza is not a binary

issue. however, too often the conversation is binary. when the reality is anything that. i asked my fellow americans to help encourage efforts, to acknowledge the complexity, the new ones in the history of the region. let us all condemn terrorism and violence. let us all do what we can to prevent the suffering of innocent civilians and let us condemn ante semitism islamophobia and hate of any kind. let us work to unite our country. thank you. anti—war protesters were gathered outside the white house for the meeting. our state department correspondent tom bateman was there. well, it was another day of protest that has followed benjamin neta nyahu around washington, not least here at the gates of the white house over many hours, during which mr netanyahu was meeting president biden

and kamala harris, the vice president — that meeting, of course, taking on increased importance because of her run for the democratic nomination and the presidency itself. what the us administration is trying to do here is pressure mr netanyahu to accept a ceasefire and hostage release deal. they believe that he is now becoming the biggest block to this thing moving forward, and they're desperately trying now to get it over the line — that the key focus of these discussions between mr biden and mr netanyahu. the problem for the american president is he doesn't have a strong track record in persuading mr netanyahu, in cajoling him, to get him to do what he wants. it's been a very fraught and fractious relationship, particularly over the issue of the desperate situation in gaza, with the very large number of palestinian civilians killed by the israeli offensive, the lack of humanitarian aid in gaza. every time mr biden has tried to get

mr netanyahu to change tack, he's really struggled. will he have been any more successful today? we'll have to wait and see. but certainly this has always been a very fraught relationship. it continues to be underpinned by that bedrock of the tie between these two countries — that is, us military assistance to the israelis — and that has continued virtually untouched. mr netanyahu's visit also sparked controversy back home in israel. mark lowen has the viewjerusalem. his supporters are of course delighted in how he has framed this as the defence of the jewish state in front of him speaking at the heart of the establishment but his critics, among them the families of the hostages, are horrified with the fact he may no explicit reference to the ceasefire deal on the table and according to opinion polls to those of israelis believe the priority needs to be to end the war together hostages home while

only one quarter believe the priority is to continue the war to total victory, that shows you the divisions were right in israeli society and among civilians there will be higher at the idea he did not mention the more than 39,000 people killed in gaza, according to health ministry since the war began and deflected lamp for the suffering on the ground in gaza. as a reminder of the toll this war has taken, five more bodies of israeli hostages returned to israel kills is 7 october with widespread feeling in the society that the longer this war goes on the fewer hostages will return here alive. let's talk now with frank lowenstein, former us�*s special envoy for israeli—palestinian negotiations under president barack 0bama. great to have you back. let's start with what we saw from kamala harris and her remarks after her meeting with benjamin netanyahu. it signalled a shift in tone away from president biden. what did you make of the

comments?— comments? absolutely, she will robabl comments? absolutely, she will probably be _ comments? absolutely, she will probably be in — comments? absolutely, she will probably be in a _ comments? absolutely, she will probably be in a similar - comments? absolutely, she will probably be in a similar place i probably be in a similar place as president biden but the tone is very different, and that will really make a big impact. she is making a plea for progressive voters, american voters in michigan who can decide the outcome of the election by expressing empathy to the palestinians, dead children and people starving, and the sense of what the palestinian people are going through that has been lacking from president biden so far. she is off to a good start there. president biden remains in office and we know that netanyahu will meet with donald trump on friday so what will all this mean in terms of policy and its us israel relations?— policy and its us israel relations? . ., , ., policy and its us israel relations? . ., , relations? that remains to be seen. president _ relations? that remains to be seen. president trump - relations? that remains to be seen. president trump may l relations? that remains to be i seen. president trump may have been inadvertently striking president biden�*s hand with an interview he gave this morning where he said the war in history and fast. in the back of his mind he may have figured he could just wait it out and

then a trump will do whatever he wants, so he got a message from a trump on the front and they will only help violence with the owners on netanyahu to accept the deal which is something that merely has not done much in the past to put pressure on hamas and now the message of the white house as this is a dealfor the israelis to accept an it netanyahu to accept it. to accept an it netanyahu to accept it— to accept an it netanyahu to acce -t it. ., ., ~' . , ., accept it. looking at this from the netanyahu _ accept it. looking at this from the netanyahu perspective, . accept it. looking at this from i the netanyahu perspective, how much was a visit focused at his domestic audience?— much was a visit focused at his domestic audience? that is the main focus- _ domestic audience? that is the main focus. that _ domestic audience? that is the main focus. that will _ domestic audience? that is the main focus. that will always . domestic audience? that is the main focus. that will always be j main focus. that will always be his main focus. with respect to the ceasefire, he has the same dilemma he has suddenly passed these extreme coalition partners who do not want to see a deal and threatened to resign if he does agree to the deal on one hand and he also has the hostage families in the united states, so it is important to know that on the 28th of this month the israeli put out a session and after that it will be difficult to pull the government down so the hope are the white house is up by sunday

the white house is up by sunday the threat of the dissolution will be removed and he will be in a position to accept the deal. i stress they are a number of other issues here they can potentially make this a long road to the finish line and it remains to be seen whether netanyahu will take it off—line on the issues or a softer line with the negotiations resuming next week. ~ ., , negotiations resuming next week. ., , . week. where does the ceasefire deal a stand _ week. where does the ceasefire deal a stand right _ week. where does the ceasefire deal a stand right now— week. where does the ceasefire deal a stand right now and - week. where does the ceasefire deal a stand right now and what| deal a stand right now and what stands on the way you've actually moving forward? the white house _ actually moving forward? tue: white house seems actually moving forward? tte: white house seems confident they will resolve the underlying issue here which is whether this will be temporarily or a permanent ceasefire but there is at least three or four rue other issues that remain unresolved and these include what will happen to the philadelphia quarter which is a buffer zone between gaza and easier, who will man the rafah crossing and the big one is whether the civilians who have been displaced in gaza from the north whether they will be allowed to do that or not. what netanyahu would like to do with that of a checkpoint

and if that is the case there is no way large number of civilians can return to their homes and that is important to negotiate and we will see whether netanyahu will be flexible or not. we whether netanyahu will be flexible or not.— flexible or not. we heard benjamin _ flexible or not. we heard benjamin netanyahu - flexible or not. we heard benjamin netanyahu in l flexible or not. we heard l benjamin netanyahu in his address to congress talk about address to congress talk about a post—war gaza. what did you make of his vision of what that would look like? he make of his vision of what that would look like?— would look like? he has absolutely _ would look like? he has absolutely no _ would look like? he has absolutely no idea - would look like? he has absolutely no idea what| would look like? he has. absolutely no idea what it would look like and in between the lines while we heard is israel occupied gaza as far as the eye can see. some utopian notion that somehow or other saudia arabia will come in and turn gaza into singapore but they are a long way away from taking hamas of the battlefield and even then the — they will only going to do the construction in gaza if there is a vision for a 2—stage solution and theyjust pass a resolution saying there will never agree to that. they are a long way away from any steps

and ameshia cross, a democratic strategist and former campaign advisor for president 0bama. have you. these poll numbers obviously still is early but what do they tell us? tt obviously still is early but what do they tell us? it is not over et what do they tell us? it is not over yet and _ what do they tell us? it is not over yet and clearly _ what do they tell us? it is not over yet and clearly the - what do they tell us? it is not over yet and clearly the race | over yet and clearly the race has been reset with respect to president biden are stepping aside and harass stepping into the role for the nominee for president. there is a honeymoon at period here with vice president harris, no question she is a stronger candidate than biden was but there is reasonable come down to a handful of voters probably 100,000 in places like wisconsin, michigan and pennsylvania, the undecided voters will decide this thing, i think vice president harris is united in her bays and her party which is a big step for her but both bases will turn

out for their respective nominees and it comes down to those undecided voters, inflation, immigration, economy, the crime, those issues they care about now. for trump they are doing well on those issues. it is still abided and harass them and see how it takes you.— how it takes you. what do you think it is _ how it takes you. what do you think it is a — how it takes you. what do you think it is a honeymoon - how it takes you. what do you | think it is a honeymoon phase? absolutely not. these poll numbers especially this far out do not — numbers especially this far out do not really equate to much when — do not really equate to much when the _ do not really equate to much when the election both start in october— when the election both start in october but i do think that even — october but i do think that even though poll numbers are not predicted they can through a window— not predicted they can through a window into the work that needs— a window into the work that needs to _ a window into the work that needs to be done and at this point — needs to be done and at this point and _ needs to be done and at this point and throughout the race we always knew it was going to be light — we always knew it was going to be tight. there will be a small number— be tight. there will be a small number of voters across this country— number of voters across this country in _ number of voters across this country in battleground states to decide who the next president will be and most will be moderate or undecided. what we see _ be moderate or undecided. what we see now from the kamala harris — we see now from the kamala harris campaign is a sizeable

harris saying he is a convicted felon and i am a prosecutor. they will both have their messaging points, things that they will see a sample play to their political bases and some will be tailored to those independent or undecided voters. what we see right now under trump is authentic, like him or not, this is you are years. they will not change. with kamala harris, they will both try to define president harris on the trail, if she has a moment to do that, but she has a record and that is a record that many americans probably disagree with in terms of key policies and also a record as vice president. this will be a referendum on what elections as the incumbents in office, she has been number two in the administration, sky—rocketing inflation, sky—rocketing inflation, sky—rocketing border crossing in terms of immigration, the issues of the undecided voters and an achilles heel for the current administration. hosp

during the second landslide. that was after several people from the local communities and neighbouring villages were rushed here to help save and rescue people who were buried during the first landslide. this is a fairly remote and underdeveloped area. to arrive here, we had to fly from the capital, to the largest city in the area and after that, we had to drive for more than five hours of the mountain. it is not easily accessible and the remoteness appears to have hampered emergency response efforts. now the most pressing issue right here appears to be finding bodies. at this point it seems unlikely to find survivors. after that, the authorities will have the responsibility of helping survivors and families of the victims. beyond that, there was a larger question lingering. several areas including this

one have been identified by the un to be at risk of extreme weather events like flooding and landslide. tackling that issue will be a huge question for the authorities in the coming months and even years. us attorney general merrick garland says two of the world's largest drug traffickers were detained today by drug enforcement agents in el paso, texas. ismael zambada garcia also known as �*el mayo' is considered one of the most powerful drug lords in the world. and the son of his former partner, joaquin el chapo guzman, was also arrested. they are alleged leaders of the sinaloa cartel. joining me now is our mexico correspondent will grant. he has looked into the news as it has been developing. tt he has looked into the news as it has been developing.- it has been developing. it has been hugely _ it has been developing. it has been hugely significant. - it has been developing. it has been hugely significant. el. been hugely significant. el mayo probably the most important drug trafficker in the world. the very fact he has evaded arrest for this length of time, to have him now

detained in el paso is a massive step for us law enforcement. we do not know all the details of the arrest yet but it looks like he was arrested when they came in on a flight from mexico, we believe, into el paso and was arrested alongside el chapo's son. we hear about have involved some kind of deal, a sting operation but there may have been some deal between us law enforcement and one of those men are giving up and one of those men are giving up the other. we need to hold different speculation at this stage but certainly these things always sound dramatic and in this case the drama is necessary. it was el chapo who was the public face of the cartel but in many ways it was el mayo who was the real power. tell us more about why it is so significant and what this cartel means, how significant it is as well.—

still the wind direction coming from the west, so not the warmest of sources. and that is going to drive in a few scattered showers, chiefly to the far north—west to begin with. but as we go through the day, anywhere along the west, we'll see those showers drifting further inland, perhaps across east anglia and south—east england staying fine and dry. but still those temperatures disappointing for this stage injuly. a scattering of showers into wales, 20 degrees the high here. more frequent showers into northern ireland and southern scotland, and some of these possibly heavy. so temperatures again a little bit more subdued. we're looking at highs of 15 to 19 degrees. so that is how we close out friday afternoon. friday evening, into the early hours of saturday, sees the isobars open up, the winds fall light, clear skies for a time. but we have got this little weak weather front starting to develop, enhancing more showers out to the west. but it means low single figures to greet us first thing for the start of our weekend. a quiet start for many, particularly in sheltered

eastern areas, but once again, we'll continue to see a few showers breaking out from the west, and these will move through the irish sea into wales, across north west england and into scotland by the afternoon. again, to the east of the pennines, we are likely to see the best of the drier, sunnier weather, but those temperatures still not particularly exciting for this time of year, once again ranging from 15 to 23 celsius the high. but after saturday, an area of high pressure will start to build in from the west. as we go into next week, that's going to quieten things down considerably. weather fronts will try to topple in across the high, but all in all, it looks quite decent, with that south—westerly flow allowing those temperatures to climb potentially into the high 20s. and for many of us, there's going to be a good deal of dry, settled, sunny weather to look forward to for at least a few days.

data shows the us grew faster than expected in the second quarter — we speak to a former white house communications director who says a trump presidency will be a disaster for the us economy. and as the olympic games open in paris, we find out the secrets to a successful opening ceremony. hello and welcome to business today.

i'm arunoday mukharji. the last four weeks have been a seismic period for us politics. presidentjoe biden dropping his re—election bid has thrown the presidential race into uncharted waters. donald trump and kamala harris are the new front runners, promising different economic visions for the country. i've been speaking to anthony scaramucci, founding partner at skybridge capital — a crypto—hedge fund. he also served as communications director under mr trump, but is now throwing his support behind kamala harris. the inflation which is being blamed on president biden is actually a situational thing. it is related to the heavy induction of money supply into the economy during covid plus the fiscal stimulus. we still experience the aftermath of that. inflation numbers are coming down and the fed is likely to cut rates and i think vice president harris has a very good platform to run on which is a continuation

of thejoe biden policies.
