the, the, you're watching the, the you knew was coming to live from berlin and joe biden's campaign facing a nother set back after the u. s. president tested positive for cove and 19 this after a top congressional democrat tells biden to quit his bed for a 2nd. term representatives asked adam the shift says he has a serious in dallas fed biden can meet donald trump in november. selections. also coming up on our show today knew him k prime minister care storm or welcomes meters from 45 countries with the message that he wants to repair the countries post racks that relationship with your the

unclear richardson. welcome to the show, the beginning united states where the race at for the us presidency quickly becoming a story of 2 campaigns, going in very different directions. further than joe biden has cancelled events after he was diagnosed with cove and 19 more senior democratic members. also calling for him to pull out of the race ahead of november's election. meanwhile, the republicans are heading into the final day of a party congress energized by the announcements of donald trump's running mate, j. d events. president trump represents america's last best hope to restore. what if last may never be found again. a country were a working class boy born far from the halls of power can stand on this stage as the next vice president of the united states of america. once a student, christie cook, donald trump, hi, a senator,

j. d vance. let's move in to doubts his loyalty to the former president. when he accepted the nomination to be his running mate. well, keep close boys from the american hotline to drag himself down to pull the t. this is the message that he will take forward in the election campaign to win over blue color. why? cuz one says that protecting the needs of ordinary citizens includes taking a tough 9 on us foreign policy together, we will make sure our allies share in the burden of securing world peace, no more free rides for nations that betray the generosity of the american taxpayer . who's supposed to be? are in c, so the trunk fence tickets. meanwhile, president joe biden is dealt another blow to his campaign and image as he is

diagnosed with coven 19 was on the campaign trail in las vegas. as he takes a step back from campaigning and returns home to recover uncertainty about his candidacy continues to build within his own ranks. california and congressman adam shift is one of the latest leading democrats cooling on joe biden, to step down from the presidential race consent over biden's, age and cognitive abilities. the shadowing his campaign, which a growing chorus of little make his se increases his risk of losing to donald trump . in november. earlier, i spoke to boris form on the director of politics at bard college, berlin. i asked him if it is possible for biden to continue under this kind of pressure. i think we are very much approaching, but typically part, i mean we have the public figures like george clooney calling for biden. to step

down. we have important top democrats that are making similar, similar insinuations, or you from the point blank argue that he should be reconsidering his bid. so i think we really are approaching the moment where he definitely has to take a decision. of course, that would be a huge gamble, really for the democrats at this stage to replace spite and with somebody else. do you think the way that they are increasingly looking at it is that it is more of a gamble to continue with abiding no thing. so, i mean, we're in on charter territory really and nobody knows what's going to happen is by them does step down to another candidate. that's a big question. you know how to find another candidate that will be a messy authoration anyway. so the democratic national convention would be an interesting thing to, to look at to say the least, but that's not the i think the, um, their way in their chances. and i think of course, there's

a big risk involved. but on the other hand, bring someone new young fresh in might also very much create a new type of that. to me that shift the paradigm most of the election race. is it possible to take a guess at who that replacement might be? could it become a le harris as vice president? yeah, i mean, sure there's a lot of debate that's been going on for a couple of weeks now. coming to harris is always being mentioned as somebody could be that person. and to one way to, to maybe to avoid some of the messing as of the process would be to try and figure that out. hold the vice president could step in. but we've also seen a couple of other figures that have been measured time to give and again, uh, gretchen whitman, different newsome, also people the judge has mentioned quite some as a potential candidate. and they're all relatively young politicians. that's the quicker place of biking on the ticket. as far as for one director of politics of bard college, berlin, speaking to me earlier,

we can bring you up to speed. now with some other world news headlines at this hour . and you lawmakers in strasbourg are voting in a secret ballot to determine if you're a pain commission president or slough on the line, and will continue for a 2nd term. in her file picture, she said, europe cannot control the world's bond. the block can work to protect its own democracy. she needs to secure at least 361 votes to crunch a win on the ukrainians have lined the streets to welcome home. 95 soldiers has been returned as part of a prisoner swap. many of the service men had been held by russia for more than 2 years. the exchange also saw $95.00 russian soldiers being released and returned to 2 months ago. but as prime minister care star has called for closer cooperation between european nations, when it comes to solving the continents problems and helping ukraine with its more effort. so armor was speaking of the european political community summit taking
