almost both possibly want no more campaigning at all by. as the president's relation, chances appear to be dwindling. the opposite seems to be true for donald trump. last night his vice presidential running mate introduced himself to the country. j . d. vance has impact seems to be sort of positive. it could be called the trump bump, or i'm bridge awesome berlin. this is the day. the highest visually extend your domination to be vice president of america. my reaction to the chose, the choice was shock. more than anything, what can i say that hasn't already been said before? after all, the man was already the subject of ron howard movie. were regular man, regular life and regular wife, regular kids, regular mom. regular american also

coming up at taylor swift brings her arrows world tour to germany. and according to the rule where you find tailors with, you'll also find tens of thousands. busy swift, these have music is incredible. she's like, save those or um, she's given us how she's given us. like are you using to go on her songs, motivate task, and she's just an incredible person and i was having the hardware just to see her anywhere. let's do our viewers watching on tv as in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome. we begin today with joe biden, under the weather and donald trump campaign, apparently over the moon. today the white house confirmed the us president biden is tested positive for cove. it is campaign events, at least for today were cancelled. but there may be more cancellations. ahead to titans of the democratic party from the us house speaker,

nancy pelosi and former us president brock obama have both reportedly voiced concerns that buys and may not be able to win re election in november against donald trump. their names added to a growing list of doubting democrats. and all of this is happening as the momentum for a trump victory groups. the latest boost came wednesday night at the republican national convention in milwaukee, when trump's vice presidential running mate j. d. vance introduced himself to the country. the president trump represents america's last best hope to restore. what if last may never be found? again, a country where a working class boy, born far from the holes of power, can stand on this stage as the next vice president of the united states of america . once a student, christie could donate trump high and send it to g. d van smith, new room to doubts his loyalty to the former president. when he accepted the

nomination to be his running mate, a working class boy 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 collar workers. and says that protecting the needs of odin, we citizens includes taking a tough line 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, who will mean supposed to be r n c. so the trump sense tickets. meanwhile, president joe biden is dealt another blow to his campaign and image as he was diagnosed with cove at 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. david biden's, age and cognitive abilities are the shadow in his campaign, a which of course of little make his say increases his risk of losing to donald trump in november. we did the use washington bureau tv. this whole joins me now from the republican national convention in milwaukee. good evening to you, eat us before we talk about the g o. p. i'd like to discuss this growing list of building democrats who publicly or privately don't think the joe biden can win against donald trump in november. the latest addition to this list is former

president or rock obama. tell me, what did you heard today? yeah, and that's of course huge. i mean, uh, joe biden worked under the rock obama of rock obama and drove by and that was really close. and what we uh here is the brook obama only talk, one's a to president fight, and after his weak performance during this debate. but that the pressure from this in the democratic policy, really gods hire, that the former president obama also spoke of is a bite. and to step down of to advance to below is the talk to him. officer hakim jeffries, talk to a representative of the house. and then of course, talk to him or also kind of raise concerns that buy it and what not only lose the election, but might also be losing states like colorado or, or new jersey,

which has been a democratic since more than 20 years. so the pressure definitely is getting stronger and stronger and it is how do you explain how quickly the opposition to bite and has grown since that debate debacle. last month to be do you think that the media especially the u. s. media, do you think they've reported this story fairly, or are you surprised at the speed with which mainstream media have reported by them as the candidates who won't be able to win? that's a very, very good question. brandon, i was wondering myself, when i saw the reporting, you know, getting kind of more intense uh, per hour or sometimes of, to the debate. and you know, that was a huge concern that people would not be tuned in into this debate because to known old white men running against each other. many people told us when we were traveling this huge country, oh, well, this is the most boring election campaign ever. and that of course,

is not good for making money for the big networks. so i wonder if this played into the fact that they reported so intensely about adobe to bite. and by having that set, of course, this performance was horrible. and every single interview he gave off, the words couldn't really turn to tide. i was at the nato summit in washington following his press or he wasn't convincing there either. so joe biden just really seems to get more tired by the day today the, the news and bite and testing positive for co bid. you know, you get the sense that it was reported as another nail in his re election cost. and i'm wondering how would the story be reported if donald trump tested positive for coven tomorrow as well. you know, as donald trump is in a totally different spot, right? now, i mean, he's just like on i don't know on the top level,

i've seen him ever like, everybody seems to love him at least here, of course, at the republic national convention. and he doesn't appear to be, we isn't even off to the us as a nation to attend. he seems to be back in the game being strong. i mean, just minutes off. so he nearly got killed. he was raising his fist shouting, or telling his a support those fight fight. so i think if he would be tested, oh wow, it wouldn't have it wouldn't be seen as like such a big thing for president biden as it is for joe biden. yeah, yeah, exactly. i mean, it does seem like the to me that there's, there's different treatments there where you're talking at least about a virus this week in milwaukee. all the talk has been about trump, the candidate who dodge the bullets that assassination attempt. how did it impact the convention and trump's campaign? i mean it's only been what uh 56 days ago. yeah, definitely was dominating the 1st day of you arrived here on sunday and everybody

was talking about it. and, you know, there are many, many very religious people here at the r and c. and so you wouldn't believe how many you told us when we talked to them. but the lord all night the heads had something to do with the fact that donald trump is still alive. i mean, he got out of this stronger than he was before. we shall see how this really impacted to him when he came here the 1st night when we saw him, he still looked very tired and a kind of really thoughtful fun. couldn't say that we shall see. you know how this move in this really life best experience might've changed and he wouldn't be the 1st one would say that's true, that is true. i mean, he's not the 1st president to dodge, but one or to be hit by a boat that's for sure. and then is there is trump spice press dental running, mate j the vance. now, i mean he's a millennial, he's the youngest person ever nominated to be vice presidential running mate. but

it truck reportedly decided on vance just hours before it became public 2 days after the shooting. amazing. how do you explain this last minute decision making about, you know, his own running may? well, 1st of all, i think donald trump really enjoys having all the power in his hand. and uh, just to be able to wait until pretty much the very last minutes to announce who is running made. i would be, i honestly think he just uh, enjoyed that. but of course, there were also like a checking out the pulse that definitely be watching very closely the bite and come pay is bite and stepping down or not. what is carmella? harris comes in or not. so these are all factors also coming together. and of course, i mean, as you just said, j events is super young, who delivered a fantastic speak just right behind me a year behind me last night and to use giving

a lot of energy into come into the campaign. and it was also interesting, a brand new, you know, we talked to many people here before he spoke and they didn't really know them. of course i've heard of him but weren't really familiar with him, but often with civil just like so fascinated and all behind him. he's in many eyes just represents the american dream. so this really goes stone where evil. this is trout here in milwaukee. yeah, it's interesting you say that is, you know, the american dream i'm wondering is j. the vance? is he the golden boy for donald trump? does he guarantee that trump will win in november? it definitely will help trump um to get the younger voters. we also talked to many younger republican party members here in milwaukee, and t might also law donald trump to be a little bit more presidential to, to be a little bit more thoughtful to whole back. like with his decisive sometimes even

toxic language. she could leave bed to his vp, but it, so be interesting to watch if donald trump is really able to keep up with the fact that j. devens is so successful, invite the really winning over the hearts of many a potential republican voters. so that's going to be an interesting dynamic to watch over the next couple of months. yeah, it reminds me what my grandmother used to say. there can only be one star in a relationship. simple see which one tends to be the star in this? do i know it is that you've spoken to german lawmakers who are at the g o. p convention this week? our german politicians, despite their public worry worries about a 2nd trump presidency. are they preparing already the channels of communication between a trump white house and berlin? i would say definitely are you know, this is my 2nd mention i'm covering for dw,

and i've never seen a so many lawmakers from europe attending at these conventions. they don't want to make the same mistake. i stated in 2020, they already went to work kind of on, you know, keeping the channels open to the republican policy. i, for example, talk to you and spawn from the conservative german party said it was. and he told me that there, that there are many, uh, you know, that the, that the say the warranty. and in particular the things that uh, there are many, uh, call me alert comments as things they have in common, both parties. so this is something a people are watching out for, and they also have a chance to talk to mr. lynn keys, the co ordinator of the transatlantic relationships from the german government. this is the united states and he also was very frank. he said, you know, the united states are our most important trade park. know they are very important

for our security in europe, in germany. so yes, of course they, they are gonna work or try to work with every government in the white house. and this is what they're doing here. that's a lot of networking going on. all right, and, and the final 2 questions after all, that has happened in the past week in this presidential race 8 is one. do you think biden's name will be on the ballot in november, and if not, who will be the democratic nominee in november of the, you know, the, if the democratic party is small, they really will come up with a new plan very, very fast. and they would maybe be able to take a little bit of the momentum away from donald trump and jay to events. but they have to be click on that for you to finding a solution that's totally open if it will be the vice president coming to harris,

she would be the natural choice. but if is she really able to compete successfully against donald trump? inside events, we will see bugs. i think the name will not be job either. all right, our washington bureau chief. it is paul. approaching the end of what has been quite an eventful week in us politics for both the democrats and the republicans. edith is always good talking with you. thank you. and staying with that theme of concerns on this side of the atlantic, about the return by trump to the white house, there is a sigh of relief to nights here in the european union or so a fund to lie in a secured a 2nd term as president of the european commission. now that's the use talk position. european parliament re elected fund a lion today for another 5 year term with a comfortable majority or election welcomed by many as

a continuity of leadership. especially as europe struggles to deal with the war and ukraine. climate change, migration, and threats to democracy. we are working altogether for a strong europe. we're working on the topics of prosperity and competitiveness in our economy, social fairness because we have a social market economies. we're working on protecting people. so security and defense, but the most important is the over arching topic of strengthening our democracy. our democracy is under attack from inside and from outside. and therefore it is crucial that the democratic forces stand together to defend our democracy. what do you use alexander for knob and she has more now on ursula for the lions plans for that 2nd term. it was enough one to 9 presented to ourselves here in distress. smoke as a safe pair of hands. ready and eager to continue leading the blocks with

a low chose times. in her speech, she made the efforts to address issues considered essential to the political parties supporting her like staying the course on the green deal, strengthening europe's competitiveness and the role of law and moving towards the defense union. her announcement on establishing a commissioner for defense is seen as a crucial 1st step to evolving the you into a security extra. however, on that point, it was the fund, the line is likely to clash with the e. u. member states who consider defense policy. they are competency in a short term. her next challenge will be to pick her fellow commissioners based on the domain nations of national governments. only when her cabinet is complete. she can start working on delivering what she has promised here in the european

to the points. strong opinions, clear position, international perspective, the politics gone, brutal shooting against donald trump is just the latest example of rising political violence, while voters in the us and europe are also choosing the extremes on the bowers. on to the point we ask from insults to murder and you brutality and to the point next on d w equal method, january 2021. the attack on the united states capital, thousands of people took part, and among them,

some of these manipulative voices are a former high ranking military leaders. wanted us veterans to turn their backs on democracy. and what does this mean for the upcoming election of the enemy within in 45 minutes on d, w, the we did the urgency life saving boxes week. if i ever seem to reach those who need us the most, every box feeding their boxes for out of life savings, we fearlessly deliver not just next day that every thousands of children are still
