we have bandaged it to show for it. i do not has a running mate who is completely aligned with the trump message. meanwhile, the bite and campaign is still riven with questions about its candidates and whether he should even stand. so how come joe biden compete with a rival who's been all but day 5? i'm feel gaily invalid, and this is the day the donald trump, the grateful and my president is still alive. the the looks great, he looks strong. emotional, i guess it's a good way to put all kinds of crazy emotions. it's awesome.

also on the day, china is communist party brain storms. the future of the country's economy as a growth flows and the west rethinks trade ties. some of our european friends are going to be curtailing their a zone investment in china. as long as china continues to have this indirect tell to russia. welcome to the day you as a, that's a tune. republicans seem to be 2nd of that party convention in the fall. ok. donald trump has been officially confirmed as i nominated for this november's presidential election in the wake of his near assassination. of all the presidents he was known for going off script says he's told enough he's original acceptance speech. and he'll instead deliver a call from national unity. is vice presidential pick j. the vance is a form,

a critic, and to form a prime revivals misbehavior run desantis. on tuesday nights, mine and publicans seem to be heating that policy chairs opening woods, calling full unity. we must unite as a party and we must unite as a nation. we must throw the same strength and resilience as president trump and lead this nation to a greater future. only president trump can united us and restore our autonomy, rebuild our southern border and re gain are standing in the world. well, the w, as washington bureau chief in his pole, these are the republican conventions and described the sense of unity. she said she felt in it was quite impressive. how the mood changed. when donald trump entered this arena last night with his uh, tape, your people are very emotional, um and uh, to those to whom we were able to speak. they kind of all come together even closer

behind donald trump. they see in him a hero who's willing to risk his life to fight for their interests. it was pulled as you do. this found the law as a political strategist in communications experts who worked out worked on a bomb is 2810 to 2012 campaigns joins us from the ok. welcome back to this. we saw a donald trump's a grand entrance at the convention last night after not really escaping that assassination attempt. what did you make of his appearance, the staging, and the reception that he got? i mean, it was a grand entrance. he walked right behind us here on the stage and got into the family box, and of course it was standing ovations. it was very emotional. but in the end, this convention is in entire branding exercise. this is a branding exercise in order to of course, paint a picture of donald trump right now, re branding him as the uniter in chief. and of course,

democrats will have to be focused on making sure that, that branding is not going to be building a, any speed and momentum, and actually pushing through in order to make the stark contrast between donald trump and the democrats. and when we look at the disunity and chaos of the republicans in congress, the policy does now appear to be folded into line. well, is it or is that just convention razzmatazz for the cameras? oh, absolutely. the party is 100 percent of life. one of the starkest critics of donald trump, nikki haley, who was a fierce critic of donald trump's back in january and february, doing the caucasus. and the primaries in new hampshire is scheduled to speak tonight. and she will of course, say that she is falling in line, that donald trump is the only one who can make the same world safe again. and that she is 100 percent supportive of donald trump. the same, of course, goes through for randa sanders. the governor of florida, who's the schedule of the speaker as well. so i think the party has hurt the shot. they know, of course, who donald trump is and that he is the power center of the republican party. so

they are going to be in full support of their nominee. i'm what even hearing from republicans on the d for democrats about the choice of j d bonds as donald trump's running night? right, i mean, yesterday j events was announced and it took a few minutes for democrats and the joe biden campaign to send out text messages and emails, of course branding jody vance as a radical, as a extreme is. and i think there is reason to look and examine his record on the things that he has said in the past. of course, he is a hard liner on many issues of course, and we look at it from a european perspective. the things he said about ukraine and that he is not willing to support the effort in order to protect his ukraine after all. that is one of the issues, but abortion a many other social issues, that is something where j, the vance has taken a very conservative position. and the democrats of trying to exactly put in laser focused on that as they try to mobilize their base. their couple of harris says she's ready to debate, status events, how much impact award the events?

how has a match up have on either campaign. i mean i think it's going to be good to be for about the 90 minutes. they're going to be on stage. both are incredibly well equipped rhetoricians, j. the vast, incredibly adept communicators. same of course is true for the former prosecutor, complet harris, who is able to craft an argument. but again, if you look at the past, the presidential or vice presidential debates have hardly had any impact this time however, it could be different in the sense that we of course have 2 very old candidates. and a tremendous focus has been put on those 2 young or youngish candidates, as they are very likely to take over in, throughout the term. the next uh, serving term of the next. yes, president. just picking it off on that point. how much should we care about who is in the running for a job that was once famously described just not worth a bucket of spit?

i mean, worst impact to the spit as exactly right. it's the job that actually hardly any one wants it watching, but i think we should pay very close attention, especially from a european perspective because the contracts couldn't be any star could between complet harris, who has of course, supported joe biden in his effort to of course support ukraine and j events who has made it very clear that under his his command or at least as vice president under donald trump, he would not be in favor of any more ukraine help. so i think it has a tremendous impact for us here in germany or throughout europe. but frankly, speaking of the contracts is very stuck between the 2. okay, stay with the students. we're going to talk about the democrats campaign and about what president buying this course. he's still trying to find tough efforts to get into stand down from the campaign where he is told him, do less to hold on and be seen use. i understand. i understand why people say, god is 81 years old. oh, what's it going to be with these 83 years old,

84 years. so legitimate question ask is there, is there a sense of wanting to get back on the horse and i'm on the horse for you band. i said 22 major motors for thousands of people, overwhelming crowds, a lot happening. i'm on the horse, julius van de la, now we have adam shift for leaving a voice in the democratic party. but fortunately warning of a why part is 5 and stays in the race. how do you think this is going to shake hands or perception is reality and i think what the president is saying is just not what voters are seeing every day. they have very clear memories of what happened in the presidential debate, and they didn't see anyone who was sitting on the horse that joe biden just mentioned. so i think they're great worries throughout the electorate about joe, by the ability to carry out not just a campaign, but the 4 years after that. and so i think they're

a lot of voices within the democratic party. right now. we're scared to, we're looking at the polls. we're seeing donald trump building out his advantage over job. i think there's a new pull out that says that virginia is almost a place. so i think we're seeing that the race is not tightening the opposite is the case. and so it doesn't surprise me that even more democrats are now calling for joe biden to free up the way for a new party nomination. in the bible campaign, stops come paving, after the trouble shooting, they canceled the bands and suspended a campaign ads. what's the plan now? especially since they were trying to get more aggressive right. i think it was the right thing to do to cancel the tv adds to stop online advertising right after the assassination attempt to the phone president. but now they got to pick back up this week is probably not the best moment because the entire media attention is focused on the republican convention. but sooner or later, they will have to go back on the off chance to try to get out their message for the

1st they gotta find that message. and up to this point, joe biden just has not been an effective messenger, is not able to carry out the message and i think there is a message for him to deliver. he couldn't make the case that he can say, well, who was actually fighting for you? is it donald trump, or is the joe biden. so that message we haven't heard yet? and again, i'm not convinced that joe biden is the most effective message of the democratic party house to offer. but even as a house, i mean, he has a message and he has an extensive message. there is all this speculation. so think about whether joe biden's, the messenger, will actually be the the, the mine who ends up contesting the election against trump. that's right. that's speculation continues unless he's able to temp down that speculation. and again, it's still almost a month till the democratic convention in chicago, unless he's able to tempt up at convention. nobody's going to be able to listen to the things he actually has to offer uh, with regard to his positions or his general message of what the final,

what about the money, the big money. but the that's been swelling around the wall street journal reporting that people must funds to give $45000000.00 a month to approach from pac, what sort of difference could that sort of money make of the mean $45000000.00 a month. the commitment from the law must golf course that makes a difference. however, i don't think it makes as much of a difference as it used to in the past. why this campaign is scheduled to cost approximately $16000000000.00. so i think there is at some point, an overflow, you don't actually know what to do with the whole money anymore. so right now i think the focus is on donald trump has his media channels, dividing campaign. it has their media channels. there's only so much advertising you can buy, and even if the buying campaign were able to find big donors in the likes of v lamazzo 1st, you gotta have a message before you can actually use the advertising dollars to put that message

out. and right now that messages just missing good talking to you as ever a julie is found to the political stressors. thank you so much on one of the countries closely watching the us election campaign is china. of course, donald trump has proposed to drastically increase thomas on enforcement wells. the 2nd biggest economy is realize that these vice presidential pick j. d van said in a t v interview that china is the biggest threat to the us, which has been distracted from the issue by the war in ukraine. meanwhile, on the other side of the pacific, trying his ruling comedies potty is holding important gathering of its own joke about the future of the country's economy. so the close, the door meeting will last a strategy for greater self sufficiency. a china spring reporting, we checking on the growth since the global pandemic with the countries important construction and really state sector, particularly hot here. you know,

self employment has also been rising as millions of graduates struggled to find jobs. and many chinese site then nervous about the country's economic outlook a homeless. so in terms of income savings and purchasing power. personally, i haven't lost much email, but we're worried about the future. we think the economy's going to start to make for some time to come to take off. so there is pessimism. oh, you mean people to feel like buying pains as much anymore. so it's home. everyone seems to be watching their money more closely. so i'm trying to save more tweaking control and see the profile actually 631, civil and junior. of course we hold them, the economy will gradually improve on ceiling to us and that there will be more peace in the world. so that trade and the economy in developing technology will get easier to go to like, given the current state of affairs. i don't think any improve that. it's not even a slight one line as possible in the near future. hopefully, i'm quite

a or you're basing the funds on well, my next guest is economist in china expert george mag, this piece of water of the book, red flags. why? jeez, china is in jeopardy. it joins us tonight from the city of outside in the united kingdom. welcome to dw, could you explain to non china watches why such a dry sounding beating the platinum is something that we should be paying attention to. this is a little bit easier, terry. so on each 5 yearly election cycle of each central committee. and we're now under the 20th a central committee. so in other words, the communist parties be in existence for about i'm it is. and so there are 7 plenary sessions or 7 platinums the 1st platinum. it is also considered certainly the chinese communist parties, narrative. it is the platinum is the most important of the 7,

and it's awesome. not always allocated to, towards a sort of a thing to really about. where is the country going? what without you cannot make strategy have to be to achieve our objectives. what sort of reforms need to be made in order to, you know, become stronger and better and realize those objectives in truth, um there's being one transformational foot plan, which is the one that was held in 1978 in which the theme was reform and opening up which was a mantra that really has survived for decades. possibly in 1993, there was one which was called the socialist market economy, which was a sort of a definition when china was already a little bit red. sure about how the leadership, the time food ice and should develop. but met very few of us have been so

transformational people have high expectations of this one was life. and so always it's super brand new. people get together in a bit of massive room. and it's held in secret what, what are the worries going into this? yes, the platinum. right. so the be the attendees are the $376.00 or 7 members of the central committee. and normally, i mean, the image that we sometimes have in the west about this is that this is a meeting where everybody gets together and moving issues and thrashed out a hi adults. really what's happening is the leadership is being preparing this for about a year or longer. and they will present to the central committee a set of ideas and a set of policies which they will discuss. and it will certainly be some tweaking. but actually what they're going to decide when they eventually make an announcement . um, it's pretty much cost it start. and, and so we kind of know a lot,

maybe not everything, but we know a lot about what the government is going to come up with really. and so what are we expecting then from, from the next a 5 year plan? the current one, i believe the ends in 2025. i yes, um the i'm the certainly the, the, the 15th 5 year plan, which is the one that will be coming out in $25.00 to $26.00. obviously a little bit ground work is big data that's already been in the way. this is not really the forum full. i mean, a lot of what's decided that the planning meeting this week will go into that new 5 year plan. but what we will be watching for very carefully is, what is the government say about what it proposes do with the economy the immediate future. and then may not be all that much detail about that. but they'll be quite a lot of, um, they'll be quite a lot of things that they will say about how they propose to change things in the

next, you know, 5 to 10 years. so we'll be watching for things like, you know, will they do more consumption stimulus? will they change the governance regulations for corporations in the state enterprises? what will they say about science and technology? something that's aging paying goals, you productive forces, which he, he wants to china, to donate by 2035. so there are a lot of things that we'll be looking for. clues as to our government policy will evolve in, not necessarily in the immediate future, but in the us to come a, as in, as part of that, the introduction that i laid out quite literally prospect uh for china, it's economy, which refers you to have grown to a full point, 7 percent, and the 3 months to, to do the product that most western countries would kill for why is this regarded as a problem for china?

a big yeah, it's good question. i mean, obviously the, the year of the year comparison, which you just side to it is, um, you know, it gives us some indication about the kind of momentum of change and growth of the chinese economy. but actually, if you look up the sort of more, the way that we normally report this in west of the economies that did lots of other economies as well. the, the ports of the change in china was actually quite me off to be a fairly spice. the 1st quarter where growth picked out quite strongly. it almost kind of mixed up the ground to a halt. but the underlying tempo of growth in the april to june period was not even 3 percent around. and so the economy, you know, it does respond, so it kind of borrowing and public infrastructure stimulus, which it gets periodically. but actually it's underlying sustainable rates of growth is now really quite low. it's probably no more than about 3, maximum, 3 and

a half percent. and then it goes to which this guy i interrupted. yeah, but we would agree. and again these that means the figures, which, which most economists would be glad to, to see when this the plan to finish this. then what happens, someone comes out, it says, this is what, what the big list of things like this is where the economy is going. these are our plans for the next 5 years. and then somebody presses a button and it happens. how does it work? yes, not quite, it's not quite like that, but i'm wondering how can i see on the 1st day, which is when the printer completes, they'll probably be a press announcement and or will they go to read out where, you know, a summary of what was agreed will be published and then probably about a week or 10 days, maybe 2 weeks later we'll get a much fuller document about what was actually agreed in terms of, you know, which reforms which areas and how many soft paragraphs and so on samples. i didn't

my actually typed months before, we really are in a position to judge whether, what has been announced either can be implemented or what the contradictions might be between different types of policies. so full judgment actually might take some considerable period of time photography kind of here for guiding us through that economist and china experts, george magnus as a candidate with thousands of people have joined a fresh wave of nationwide anti government protests. demonstrations we got a month ago against proposed tax increases president a router as in scrap the legislation of 5 most of his cabinet. but the rest has intensified. dozens of people have been killed in confrontations with security forces. it's a fight for the future of kenya to their demand,

unequivocal the what begin is peaceful, protest against unpopular tax. so i have to send it into definitely calls for president william bluetooth to resign. but his attempts to refuse detention to fail from provoking the tax bill to dismissing almost his entire capital we dealing a deeper discontent with corruption in port governance. this is for our country, this is the 34 kind of reading all this out of the out of the novel for our country to visit our loud. we are dying. yeah. we get just the starter. we died 0. we get the power. it is by the by what do we have telling you that anger fuel, further, by a crack down that according to a government watched on this cost, at least $50.00 lives and left thousands injured. the

volume and seemingly indiscriminate like here in the streets of nairobi, police appearing to fire tear gas canisters directly if members of the media even bloody are seen south of never hoping kitchen get the least fire in life. bullets mere meters away from protesters. the results painfully predictable. another casualty of a stubborn conflict leading out in the streets of kin. the anger and frustration reverberating throughout the country including here in the coastal town of mombasa, is the 4th week protesting with the seats visited producing cause. who took the easily use of this from the 1st week, who would have signed off his people from the plastic? we have step down from the 1st week, but here go to this long. oh, this will have that all this left loose. and still you cannot see the bigger interrupted sketching on the country. as the battle becomes more entrenched,

can use future roads more and more and starts with no sign of the violence died down to the protest as one's last correspondent indict robi felix moving of the protest as one's good government as the protest as one's account ability in the country to protest as once the president to deal with corruption and the protest as i say, your problem is does the jobs when you are competing for presidency, we are not seeing those jobs, the protest. i also want the cost of living to go down and that protest as $1.00 the police just thought they'd be try the iris abduction and. b have a single different test. that's why the protest as well. so once the government to respect the rule of law and i did. yeah. to what is in the can now constitution. felix in the ring in nairobi. and that is today. you can follow a tape on social media at dw use lights. as the headlines of course that's available around the clock on the w dot com on the d. w at the start from the phone
