in their mind, their sold it could even recalibrate a moral compass. does this apply to donald trump? well, one week ago, a shooter almost killed and now the republican national convention on monday, trump had the or of a changed man, but when he spoke last night at the convention, the pre a pip in the former president. but donald trump that the world knows all too well. he reappeared a bridge off in berlin. this is the day the to be took, the 10 worst president of the history of the united states. think of the 10 worst added them up. they will not have done the damage that bite and has done only gonna use the term once 5. i'm not going to use the name anymore. just one task. the democrats crazy, nancy pelosi, although donald trump says that he wanted to be the president for all of america.

he bass patsy. close to the best job i dashed, illegal immigrant. he best to immigrant, the best transgender. he double down on all of the rhetoric that we heard from him . also coming up, one of the biggest global computer glitches ever, a software update gone haywire leads people around the world, stranded and helpless. even if the systems need menu interaction to fix them with properly talking millions of computers looking at the scale of the outbreak, this is going to take some time to fix. and this is the type of thing that is absolutely inevitable with the way that type home team that works to our viewers watching on cbs, in the united states, into all of you around the world. welcome. we begin today at the end of a week that belong to some extent to donald trump. think about what has happened in

the past 7 days on saturday, at a rally in pennsylvania on live television, shots rang out. one person was killed and one of the bullets grades the right year of the former president. it was a close call the image of a bloody donald trump pumping his fist. sheldon to the shocked crowd. fight, fight, fight. we all know it by now a 2 days later, trump was on his feet at the republican national convention, visibly shaken by events. he announced his vice presidential running mate, judy vance, and he watched in real time as g or p, delegates from across america approved that the republican party is now donald trump's republican party. donald trump has my strong endorsement, harris and joe biden, back to his basement and left donald trump. back to the white house president trump

represents america's last best hope to restore. what if last may never be found? again, a country were 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 . it's safe to say that neither ged nor i expected to find ourselves in this position. but it's hard to imagine a more powerful example of the american dream. it's a boy from middletown. ohio bass has grown up. he came from a middle class family and his mother struggled with the direction of someone who grew up in the midwest. i can tell you the document streaming important issue right now. we sometimes people think somebody of my skin color are backed up in the background. would not be welcome here, but i've been, i felt welcome. i've also been excited to see more people of different shades of color will say, i'm here tonight to lay out

a vision for the whole nation to every citizen, whether you're a young or old man or woman, democrat, republican or independent black or white, asian or hispanic, i extend to you a hand of loyalty and of friendship. i was an incredible speech. you know, i think he's bringing the american people back together. i think he's bringing the party back together. what's happened here tonight is awesome. and i think the fact that he's reached out to all of americans in the way that he has in a calm, steady way, is our president. my next guest is in authority on political language, especially the language of donald trump. in her book demagogue for president,

the rhetorical genius of donald trump, jennifer ritchie, you die sex trumps political language. she directed it during the 1st campaign run for the white house back in 2016. she is also a professor of communication in journalism, in texas a and m university professor. it's good to have you with this. you know, i can imagine when you look at the past week in milwaukee and compare that with what you've saw 4 years ago with 8 years ago. mean a lot of this must have been deja bu to u. b. what is changed about trump's political speech? if anything is very familiar actually. um, you know, i think that he had less energy this year. i think that he was trying to convey that he has changed and so it's sort of was in the performance of the script, which he of course rambled on quite a bit and didn't follow his script. but i think it was

a little bit in the tone of voice more than it was in the content or the tone itself. everyone was expecting for him to make overtures and to say, you know, that we ought to unite as a country. he said those words, but i actually didn't hear him making appeal. so unification instead, he was saying essentially that the democratic party ought to capitulate to have you know, the g or p put on a huge show this we trump's name. we, as we just saw in big lights and use the word, performative, i'm wondering, is political speech. and the age of trump is it simply performative speech as it is performative? you know, there's sort of the job of politics, attending the meetings and making the decisions. and then there is the performance of the presidency on the american political stage and america's political theater. and donald trump has always excelled at the performative element of it, at least with his base. he's able to connect with them in a way that, you know,

they really enjoy listening to him. they, they feel as though he is this famous business man. you know, who is to defeating their enemies for them, which is what he tells them repeatedly and you know, they really enjoy his showmanship. and of course, his detractors don't see him in such a positive light. well, where does all of this then lead substance and the politics is supposed to be about policy and not just personality, isn't it? it absolutely is. politics ought to be about compromise and about problem solving. but the way that american politics has changed over the last 30 years or so is really about effective polarization. meaning that it's more about how you feel about your opposition than it is about solving political problems. and unfortunately, the more polarized we become, the more polarizing political figures,

rise to the, for america's political theatre. and how do you explain what is happening to end around president biden? i mean, age issues a side. she is a politician who likes to talk policy or yeah, he is. and he isn't very good at performing the role of the president for america's political theater. you know, newspaper subscriptions are down. he doesn't generate a lot of interest or drama. donald trump did do those things. he generated a lot of interest and drama. people were very concerned every morning when they woke up. what's donald trump done now? and there isn't that interested in biden. and so that affects the way we understand his presidency. he's had more policy successes than most presidents have such and when political scientists rank american presidents, they rank him 14 right out of all of the presidents in america because of his policy successes. but he doesn't seem to perform that role well on tv. in the

syllabus of your presidential communication course because i was looking at the courses that you teach you right, that there has been a distinct disruption in presidential communication over the past 4 years. is that disruption is it now the norm or? well, we'll see, right? so you probably are very familiar with the term outrage media, right? so there's a whole genre of media that is designed to elicit and invoke outreach in its audience. and so it keeps them attentive. it kind of keeps them on edge, you know, wondering like, who should we be mad at today? and donald trump has capitalized on outreach media. he's the outrage president and he's very good at outraging his base by saying everything is corrupt and you know, they're out to get you and everything is terrible. and he's also very good at

outraging his opposition by doing things that are a typical in on presidential by using ad hominem attacks. and that's a force and intimidation saying things like, i want to be a dictator on day one. all of that means that what he's essentially doing is outraging the left and the right in order to draw more and more attention to himself. and because there is no president who has been as good as he is doing that . i've got about 30 seconds the professor, your book has been called the vaccine against the virus that threatens the survival of democracy. when you say, we are a long way away from heard immunity i think we're in danger. democracy is in danger. and, you know, there are organizations that studied democratic erosion and democratic back sliding all of the features that they indicate are threats to the stability of democracy. are things that are present in the united states at this moment and are worsening.

and so, you know, i think every little bit of critical analysis that we can use is helpful, but the problem is big progressing machine. unfortunately, we're out of time, but we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us on this friday. thank you. i thank you you may have broken up this morning to discover that your internet was out and you were not alone on friday, one of the biggest technology outages ever triggered unprecedented disruption all around the world from broadcasters to bank stock, exchange, and airlines. i to systems using software from the cyber security firm, crowd strike collapse across drawings, said the outage was the result of a software update and not from a cyber attack. medical records were effected in hospitals. here in germany, they canceled non emergency operations. the united states,

a grounded all of its flights globally with airports here in europe also get into night. we still do not know how bad the damage was or how much data may have been lost, blew it, or screens, drums of plans. malfunctioning apps, a global i t altitude airlines, banks and media outlets worldwide on friday morning, causing chaos at berlin, airport, massive device, a staff, switch to an emergency checking system of a skewed going 4 to 12. no, it's $10.00 to $5.00. where are you going to london? well, i, well it's pretty cool. it's quite clear yet. so you can like it looks like normally it, well we don't know if we're wrong, but right now we're looking for our flags. so we're not sure. k is that building. apple, it's huge crowds and long queues and the check encounters. flight operations have been suspended this morning. the reason for this is set to be an update to security software which paralyzed windows computers and long for many as the vacation season

. just started in the us to airlines such as american and delta airlines. the price delays and drums steps the case national health service and some german hospitals. also phase disruption in australia. banking ups were hit, the cyber security frame crowd strike appears to be behind the outage. it claims to protect companies as cloud services from cyber threats. but following the news, it's talk stopped for rapidly and friday, trading in a statement crowd strike said, crowd strikes is actively working with customers impacted by a defect found in a single content update for windows costs. the issue has been identified isolated and the fix has been deployed. our team is fully mobile lies to ensure the security and stability of cloud strife, customers. despite the fix, many companies could still struggle to get things back on track. a lot of companies

are currently dealing with that, so fixing the spot and rolling back to the state of technology they have before this malicious software has been instilled. but i'm quite sure that there will still be some data losses. so even if everything is back online, we are not talking about a step to use that has been if before that regarding availability of these cloud services. it's the nightmare scenario for an increasingly networked world. perhaps the biggest i t outage in history, highlighting depot and their ability of global digital infrastructure. because they've been a lot worse. talk about that i'm joined by check hard faster. he's a professor of computer sciences at the university of california in berkeley. professor. it's good to have you on the program to night. let me ask you how surprised were you when you heard about this massive outage? to thank you very much brand for having me. you know, i was very surprised. partly because it's our sense that you know,

we are being used to hearing about attacks. this was really a trusted source who we had really trusted with really pretty, pretty heavy access to a lot of high systems. and the fact that that trigger this mass of outage with the surprise of cost propagation as your cover story mentioned off the attack is just breathtaking. and i think that that per se is certainly amazing that it has, it has, it has been as widespread as it is. and as you correctly pointed out, is to say you stock off of what the damage would be. yes, professor, if you would humor me for just a moment. today's outage, it reminded me of the movie blade rather 2049, a. there's a scene where they talk about the great black out of 2022. when a total electrical blackout resulted in all digital data being lost, i mean,

this may be the fantasy of hollywood, but how fragile is our society of society that is completely reliant now on software? and i t, and i think be pretty reliable on software. and i t, and as they say, you know, yesterday is, hollywood is always something to pay attention to for tomorrow's future. so, and if i can go back even further than later, i know, you know, there's movie called natalia and jobs that she was by the tack of the transportation infrastructure and traffic lights to conduct the highest. so i, i think it sounds a, this is really a wake up call and i think, you know, on every board room in the world about talking about digital transformation, different transformation is really integrating millions of sensors i o t a i machine learning and providing awesome services which we've gotten used to, and i take that as a result. this inter finding off critical infrastructure is, is,

is growing. it's growing a pace is uh, we've grown to rely on it for its convenience. but at the same time with that comes new vulnerabilities. and per snaps, we have been a little too reactive and taking about these webinar abilities. and so i would suggest that in a, in our recap kong, read not only from the, the fords that you found, you know, the, some easy ones, like really not being mont of culture and the kinds of operating systems type. we have about being more circumspect, even big trusted vendors and trusted updates. baldwin be implement them. and so those are some easy ones that come to mind. but i do think a 0 way of thinking a little bit further about the interactions of humans and software in a increasing the connected world is important. and why regulation is may well be

part of the story. i don't think we need to incentivize keepers of this infrastructure to invest in robustness. how do i do there? are that, how are the, how did you tell me what would it mean? what would the end incentive look like professor? so ok, so any incentive is really, yeah, it will be financial. it could be in terms of customers, you know. yeah, of differentiated service for customers. you know, companies are always looking for having an angle. so if you can, if you can provide them airlines for other other providers. the ability to say that they have or differentiated service because they're more resilient and are able to guarantee a certain level of performance to be able to operate, to mis configuration such as history is issue or perhaps attacks. so i agree, incentivize ation. economists refer to incentive design and mechanism design as

a way of actually providing financial incentives. and i think that we may well need to be able to do this so that it says goodwill for the customers for itself. it may well be a financial incentive eyes ation for, for the as a society. yeah, let me just ask you, i've, cuz we got just a 32nd tape. so wanted to ask you, what about artificial intelligence thrown into this equation? does that make our guard rails better or, or more pores, which i think, i presume has just has the premise of the house, of course, oh, you're deployed depends a great deal on the incentives that go along with it. you know, it's not just the algorithms, it's the algorithms and the people and the incentives. you know, these issues that come up in the i t sector are always the interaction between economic issues and the technology issues. i think we have not paid enough

attention to the interaction of both the economic and the technology issues. and in this case also received your risk. who bears the send you a risk? and that's those are the interest of society. in addition to the for profit glenda's, so all of this, i think, really needs a coordinated response of cost us germany, u. k. have been at the forefront of thinking about this. okay. but it says this is shown as how critical it is. and i really don't think we yeah, thank you very much. unfortunately. unfortunately, i definitely interrupt you professor. unfortunately we're out of time, but fascinating talking with you and i hope we get a chance to talk again. i hope we're not talking about another outage though. thank you for taking the time to talk with us tonight. thank you very much, chris. thank you. today the united nations top court ruled that israel's settlements and the palestinian territories violated international law and must be a band court, found that israel's occupation amounted to annexation,

and the palestinians were systematically discriminated against in the occupied territories. the advisory opinion is non binding, but it comes as pressure is growing on israel over the war and gaza. you in general assembly as the international court of justice back in 2022 to assess israel's occupation settlement and annexation of palestinian land. it's advisor open, you were to help us understand. and this ruling i'm joined now by monica. i mean she is professor of law at columbia university in new york professor. it's good to have you with this the you ins top court says that israel's occupation is not only unlawful but that it amounts to an annexation. that means to what extent is this new language? this is a significant need, gets a significant opinion and the language is quite new. it's new and a number her size. first of all, as you mentioned because the court decided that israel's conduct in the palestinian

territories did amounts to an annexation, which the court defined as an efforts to acquire sovereign title to, to that territory. as of the opinion is also significant because it decide in a, in a way that it had not. and in this early our opinion that israel was occupying the entire house in new territories. and this includes east jerusalem, the west bank and gaza strip. so both of those decisions work, both of those pronouncements were quite significant and novel relative to what the court had previously said about israel. and when we hear the word annexation, it makes me wonder what is the difference between what we're seeing, what the occupied territories, the palestinian territories, and what we saw back in 2014, when russia illegally annexed crimea? or is there a difference in the the eyes of the wall?

i think that's exactly the right question to be asking for many, many years. amex stations were sort of off the table. there was one of the time, of course, when international law permitted the acquisition of territory by force and through the massive efforts to change that law which took well over a century. the law now provides that actually the acquisition of territory by force is unlawful. in recent years, we've seen efforts to increasingly tried to increase efforts to try to acquire territory by force in violation of this foundational principle. and we see it in ukraine. we see efforts to acquire territory by force and the south china sea and in areas that are contested in the himalayas. and we've seen it in now in the middle east as well. and so this trend toward the efforts to acquire territory by force annexations is something that is quite, quite terrifying, quite frankly,

because efforts to a fire church for it. but for some historically, of course, been associated with world wars, words of colonization and massive amounts of human suffering. as we've seen both in the brain and then gather to this opinion, this ruling it is advisory, it's not legally binding, but is the power here really? the fact that with this ruling, the humans top court has put the, is really government policy, basically in the same boat with vladimir putin. is that the power of this really, i think the ruling is powerful because although it's not formally binding, it is the court of the united nations, which is the pre eminent court international law. and many of looking to it to try to help sort out and reconfigure the situation in the middle, the specifically relating to israel and palestine. and that authority to pronounce land even if not finding is very likely to affect the dynamics in the middle east.

and perhaps elsewhere in the world where the annexations are back on the table. so it's not just in my view significant because it ties israel's conduct to russia is conduct, which is pretty significant because it is designed to and i think it's very likely to have a significant impact on how various players who are sort of operating directly or indirectly in the middle east are likely to continue to do so. going forward and restructure their directions going forward. that was all professor monica, excuse me, they're speaking with me earlier for the day, continues online, and remember what ever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day, have a good weekend different. the

. the 2nd major difference, visionaries with a project get involved to create a future day experience that eco mdx. next on dw, the news will tell you how happy that we are back to

the story. we have a getting a visa is more difficult than finding gold hosted to use force and for the present in the stories and issues that are being discussed across the country. news africa. in 60 minutes on d w. the, the houses are we 2 meters tall? i mean, for a station in the rain forest continue, carbon dioxide emissions have 1st and again the people of the world are we what impact

the biggest change doesn't happen the make up your own mind? me the present called re king. i'm pretty sweet entity. we are living in a world where these words are being hard, more and more frequently. how do i go mine? so i just got the body and you're all watching equal in down. so one or 2 is, are often being used to describe the fact of human in deal was climate change in the cities and in the country side. new challenges need new strategies. and technology is a big one on this east.
