and the democrats to change policy now and say that now the older and the old guys out, and just policies along with them. i think she has to work to have a bit of a presence a bit more, especially for younger voters. i would have voted for, you know, a stick if it were running against trump, so i'll vote for whoever, if it was going to be binding. but i don't think the comment was the choice because i think a lot of the countries will dislikes, of course divine is the author of do running mates matter. the influence of vice presidential candidates and presidential elections. i asked him how kamala harris has performed as vice president american people not very well. she's pulled consistently a little under joe biden. as of yours may know job, i ins, approval rating for quite a while now has been around 40 percent, really low, low forty's, at least usually. typically she's couple points under that. uh,

that's hard to interpret though, because i'm not sure how much americans are familiar with even some of the things you're referencing there about what she's been doing on a day to day basis. vps often to have a hard time getting out of the shadow of the president, even during the campaign situation, that's gonna be complicated for her. i think what people are reacting to complet harris as a vice president, most of their reacting to joe buying us as a president and then also contacting her for not being a leadership role, which of course vice president supposed to follow. not li, they follow the lead of the president. and you're certainly right. it was my impression has also been that it's been hard for kamala harris to get out of to bite and shadow in the last 3 years. so why is he, i generally speaking to her, what are pulling numbers are worse than his to know, it's not clear that anybody else would do better. i think one of the things we have to factor in is that while there are, for example, governors, as were mentioned earlier, i think gretchen whitmore, or gavin, do some or others. they may pull better in certain situations depends which boy

you're looking at. but they're also not nationally known in the way that she is, uh, as was, was, was just said she has the highest name recognition. so walter people might perform well in their state. it's hard to know how to be received nationally, especially once they get the kind of pressed scrutiny that comes with being in a, in a national res tomlin. harris has been through that. she ran in the presidential primaries, not very well. uh, but then she ran for the vice presidency, so she's been vetted, she's more of a known quantity. i think this is the least risky option that democrats have. i should point out also that as the 1st woman to be vice president and woman of color, that it would be especially difficult for democrats to pass her over. for example, for uh, someone like gavin newsome uh, a white man in that case that could be taken uh not well uh, by the, by some key constituencies and the democratic party. well, as you were dressing harris's own campaign for president in 2020 field to gain any traction. so what does industry need to do differently? now, as you know, it's

a different animal running and presidential primary versus now, you know, assuming that she does come away with the nomination running in a general election, she doesn't have to kind of a strategy to follow the same kind of strategy that you want to get the nomination, this is, this is different. she's gone through that national campaign as well. so she has more experience to draw on. presumably she would have learned some things about how to campaign better and especially how to really sees on a message that will work for us. that's one of the things i'm interested to see in the coming days as she emerges it, i think it seems likely ask as the presumptive presidential nominate uh, what is the rationale for the, for the campaign? obviously a big part of this is going to be that what you'll pay a success of the bottom ministration. also concerns about what a 2nd, trump and ministration will look like. what about her? in particular, what's for uh, what's your purpose, what, what's your uh, theme for the, for this campaign? i think i could tell you a lot about what kind of campaign she's going to run,

how well she's going to run the campaign by way. could also tell us about who to expect for a v p there. yeah, and that's actually the next question i wanted to ask you, what do you think she's gonna end up choosing from? is it one of the names that could be or potential um, or potential opponents if it was an open convention or would be a dark horse candidate or yeah, it's very hard to say we're so early and in this i will say one thing you hear a lot about is that she should easily pick off a state by choosing that state governor. if she chose josh appear on the governor of pennsylvania. she pickup pennsylvania. if it was, gretchen whitmore in michigan. she'd pick up uh michigan or roy cooper. and in north carolina, i'd urge years to be very skeptical about the something that i've done a lot of research on what we call the home state advantage, that you would do better in the v p can at home state. we see that kind of helps a visual presidential candidate, but not for vice presidential candidates. so uh, well, that doesn't make any of the ones that i just named about pick after. think. gretchen whitworth particularly be a good one. and i would caution against making that, that kind of a judgment simply based on which state they would come from. they come from it as

if voters just, you know, automatically vote for a ticket is v b comes from their state. all right, them for you want to leave it there. that was chris, divine associate professor of political science at the university of dayton in ohio . thank you and your opinion leaders are beginning to react to jo biden's announcement here in germany gentle or life show it's praise binding on the platform x the german chancellor rode my friend joe biden has achieved a lot for his country for europe and for the world thanks to him, transatlantic cooperation is close. nato is strong and he was a is a good and reliable partner for us. his decision not to run the game deserve respect the w. brussels corresponding to see a shopping is following the story for us from brussels. i asked her if this political earthquake is her being there even here in europe, i'm on european officials community did. so the news broke around 8 o'clock local

time here in brussels. and i think you can be sure that the european institutions which are based in brussels and took note of this decision by joe biden, even though we do not have official statements on this. well, has there been any reactions from other european leaders not just and brussels, so yeah, there has been a number of leaders that have posted on x, for example, of the spanish prime minister page was sanchez has been praising joe biden for his decision saying this is a great gesture by a great from a great president. i also don't know to his case the powders prime minister. he's been saying that this might have been the most difficult decision in the life of to buy it. and so, so the knowledge in what this might have meant for joe biden to take this decision . and then finally uh, to start the new, the elect is elected british prime minister. he said that he respects this decision

and that he's looking forward to work with joe biden for the last month, office presidency. and as you say, there we are. and during the last 6 months of biden's presidency, and some might argue, he is now a week into president. how might that affect transatlantic relations to yes, so that is of course, the big, the big question here as well. but what you have to see in this regard is that already before today, it wasn't so clear whether the next president would also still be jo by and so that has been, for example, in nature summit 2 weeks ago. rev is already with regards to maybe a future president, donald trump, that has been some, you can call it may be prep her preparatory work that has been done. for example, the nato has decided to take over the coordination of military ed to ukraine before this was done by the united states. when there was another decision that has been taken by the united states to deploy a missile,

it's to germany. and this has been priced by outgoing secretary general. and jack installed in back s and then commitment to nato to the alliance, but also to the security in europe. so it is a bit early to say what, what would happen next? the mean for the trans atlantic relationships shift, but what is clear also is federal bye and voice, a strong trans atlantic coast. and as we have just heard, also has been priced for this for the strong nato. by chance, the feel it's right. i'm afraid we have to leave it there. that was due to be corresponding latria schultz and brussels sandra. now once again joined by the w spring gulf here in the studio. so brent, as we were hearing there, drill biden's, european partners are already starting to think about his legacy. yeah. where do you put that? well, i mean, you know, for those of us remember a bucket back in 1988. we had to bind running for president, that's

a long time ago. he was elected to the us senate. within 50 years ago. he has been a fixture of us politics in washington for as long as you are, i have been alive and basically right on every winning democratic presidential ticket in the 21st century, has been a ticket that has had ju biden's name on it. i mean, we just split that. so again, here he has been there since the beginning. that is something that you can't sneeze at. and it is something that the historians will have to the give us a rough draft of what they think. doug, briefly, us a story and said that the presidency of turbine with the reprieve for a nation exhausted by trump and the pan demick those things of course, 4 years ago for years as a long time. let me just show you this one that we can see it up close or not, but this is the cover of time magazine that's just come out in the list change you just sent this to us and it shows by walking off the page and it shows come over

here as walking yet, which says that most people are assuming that she will be the candidate. we will see, i think the next day or so will prove very, very, very important for whether or not she can solidify the support that she needs to become the presidential nominee for the democratic part. what do you think she needs to do to actually solidify that support wellness? she has to just have talking points that work. i mean, if you have to americans, now, what does she stand for? the most people would say what joe biden stands for. she's going to have to, in a very short amount of time, she's gonna have to differentiate herself of friendship. i mean, as well as building on the success of that they've had. and the 3 and a half years of that will be a, a, a fits a piece of work that we've never seen before because these are uncharted territory . so whoever is able to get the nomination, they are definitely going to be doing it faster than real time. you know,

they certainly have their work cut out for them. so that was dw, bring gulf, joining us in the studio. thank you very much. and biden's withdrawal from the us presidential race comes less than a month ahead of the democratic party convention, which begins august 19th here so far. and doors vice president muller harris, but other names are also being suggested as potential successors. us president joe biden has withdrawn from the presidential race there now just weeks to go until this is democratic convention where he would have been officially annoying to this is parties. presidential norman me. the question now is, what happens next? how will the democrats select and you know, many one on sirius, 3, what is known as an open convention. the last time the democrats held in open convention was in 1968. it descended into chaos as tempest splutter that the

vietnam will both inside and outside the building rest. somehow this is one of the reasons the rules were changed and parties have since the clear orders about before i bought it remains a legitimate way of picking the candidates. it means rather than confirming and no memories selected in the primaries, as by doing was delegates would have to choose a new norm and then in an open and potentially fit competition this year around 99 percent of some full 1000 delegates that the democratic national convention a pledge to the joe biden, now that he has stepped aside, they are free to buck, which has a kind of that they want. this is probably invite in, has already endorsed cover and vice president coming to hire us to be the know many of the names flow to to include california governor calvin newsome and governor

gretchen whitman of michigan delegates would just have to keep voting into one of them achieve the majority and was declared the winner. the critics of the open convention method say it would be a free for all which could expose divisions within the democratic party. as the new candidates possibly account and try to win the support of the nearly free don't delegate divisions that could potentially alienate voters in november. the other say that it is a risk was taking if this is the only way to beat donald trump and you are up to date, but to stick around will be back at the top, the hour with more on this critical moment for the west selection on air until them berlin. thank you very much for joining us. the conflict crises around

every single connection mapped out shows the do you see the on the board is what makes things the way they are. all the solutions mapped out, navigating a changing world. now on youtube, as each category is just a thought, say, well, the name is the calls back, said, wow, thank you so much for joining in. welcome to don't hold bad. a lot of people do

that. it's all about saying it aloud. as would it be nosy bay like it? hello, everyone is all kings to check out the award winning called called the called back . the can new technologies help shrink the mountains of tech style waste around the world, the sounding the wild fires on the rise in the wilds. no, just the tropical wetlands and brightening up baghdad. small to use the skills to shift to mind sets the

violence who dash over the past 20 odd years since the us invaded iraq. that's been almost continual conflict among different political and religious groups in the country. poverty and unemployment a wide spread morales lo autism, that determines to change that big buckets of pain to the early indications that those change underway have impact. that's no trouble. full to be strapped pools are to become history. thanks to alicia lisa and his office collective with a mysterious name butterfly effect. that on a mission to bring life to box, thoughts neglected districts with colorful murals. nothing's or not. i know what motivates me is getting praise for our work. and thank god so far. we've barely had a negative reaction. it's clearly something new for both older and younger people here. but they all seem to like what we're doing on the dr. watson.

so kind of bits of color really makes a weld about to place all it has an impact on people. ali says he and his colleagues a certain that when people ask them to paint us assaults, it's always about more than just what's on the surface. the a good sense, every hole, every crack in these walls stands for a tragic memory. but turning the bullet holes into flowers sends out a message. you can move forward and leave the bad days behind. and this city has seen too many bought days. 5 years ago in 2019 ali was just a demonstration in creative best me

a role. one of his 1st to my t was an appeal to the rest of the world. i created the mural in order to as united nations to do something for us. but also by that time, there were un observers in the city for that 1st, they didn't really do much. my painting criticize that, and it got a lot of attention. then something changed. so the artwork was effective. we'll put them in the in the meantime, many more murals like this one have sprung up all those of us dots. ollie's colorful. well, the no question about the, the drop city has become more vibrant off town change people's lives, necessarily for those who created optimal sevens by the people who live around

the. the collective has become popular. especially women who are often invisible in the rocks. conservative society have an opportunity to put the idea is out that anyone and everyone can join it. so how don't wind your money? well, i'm a housewife. i don't have a degree, but i love to paint it had a set of wine as some like this, but it was the i got in touch with the group. and ali said, just come along. i want to beautify my home and bring more color into our streets. that's what we will encourage us to keep going. it will help us feel a life good health. the need to now be street in the city center, the pool of out of office and creatives. it was shut down for yes. when terrorist attacks cut back down in turmoil. now the streets is twice and again,

even his daily life in iraq remains difficult. inflation and the economic crisis. simple. so effected ali. but the artist, to finance his collective 3 commissions and small donations refuses to be discouraged. here he keeps during lessons and i may, if i called, he wants to inspire people. he believes a pencil. oh, frustrated, come, help change the world. just like the flip to the butterflies wings. yeah, it's a hard rock. you almost. and the butterfly effect is scientific term. my theory. so i get him out. every word, every deed, no more, no matter how small and simple has an effect until the end of time, i must have been such a good deed. something can grow the effect last in the zoo, and that's why we chose this name and put it back in the alpha districts alejandra schemes finish them euro within a few hours, the residents are impressed. that is now one painting richer. but the mission to

make the city more colorful will continue best. so a lot today, the turing temperatures droughts move, discuss the t. brazil has been halted by climate change, mostly shortages are an issue even in the amazon. and that's how they knock on effects elsewhere. it may not look like it, but this is the world's largest tropical whitland, usually green and lush at this time of year. large parts of the country, not in brazil, had been reduced to ashes after months of drought. this dried vegetation has turned into the perfect fuel for wild fires. it's normal for the pantano to have rainy periods where the whitland floods and dr. periods were blaze of spread. but this

year the wildfire started earlier and with much more fury, firefighters. jose francisco morales says it's one of the worst dry periods in his career on panel. the continental urgently needs rain to see otherwise, we're going to see one of the worst drugs ever. and we'll have to fight a lot more wildfire soon for they started. hundreds of firefighters are working hard to contain the situation. some even came from other parts of brazil and neighboring bolivia. they don't want to repeat of 2020 back then about a 3rd of the content of vegetation burned down. 17000000 vertebrate animals were killed and many more injured. but the 1st half of 2024 is off to a bad start. there were many more blazes been in the same period last year to prevent the flames from spreading, the firefighters cut a swath through the undergrowth. but much of the ground is pete, meaning fires can continue for days under their feet unnoticed. and at the same

time, they have to fight strong winds towards you. today, the wind already turned around a $101.00 degrees. so we're fighting hard. certainly a wind will change again. and every time it changes, we need a different strategy to stop the engine will cause these fires are largely started by people burning trash clearing undergrowth and even smoking cigarettes. usually they would be naturally contained by the flooded areas this time of year. but there are several factors that have been making the woodland flammable on seasonally early. one is a natural phenomena in el nino, the water and the pacific is unusually warm as a result with dramatic consequences. in many regions in the punt knowledge made conditions hotter and dryer. then there are the effects of human made climate change, which are also making the content more vulnerable to drought and increasing ramping deforestation in brazil is having an even more dramatic effect. you put that work

up a single punch analysis, suffering from a lack of water is because there is less rain coming from the amazon due to deforestation. there was one and there was less water in the rivers because of deforestation in a serrato. regions were called the goods month, i mean to say how the water for the pantano actually comes from the amazon rain forest. some of the water that evaporates there normally drift south and cloud form over the set out of bush savannah to the pontoon, not where then rains. but as large areas of the amazon get deforested, there are fewer trees to recycle water into the air. the landscape is drawing out was of age as it is, go to the winds, continue blowing it is, but they take a smaller quantity of humidity with them and that reduces the volume of rain generated in other regions that puts the punch in all at a disadvantage. on these other look as well, but i know in addition to the amazon rain forest, the trees of the san ardo are also vital for the survival of the content on their

route. store the rain and slowly release it into the rivers that flow into the content on. if the trees disappear there too, it will have an impact on rivers such as the view of public was an important tributary. at the moment it's about 2 meters too low, but just high enough to protect zillow those santos, as land from the fire de lab. look how it burned. on the other side, the fire reached the shore of the river. didn't come close because it made me nervous. but i heard the crackling such, but that was this, that i or even though she is safe now, she's having a hard time staying optimistic. because over the years she's had to watch her land become dryer and dryer as ever bigger fires consume this unique landscape. oh, how could i assist you? not a long time ago. my grandfather told me, i won't live to see you, but you will. the world will end in fire. and that's what i'm seeing now. as i'm 54 years old, the flippity flop. and now everything is burning,

the roughly 10 percent of a global carbon emissions stand from the text on industry. it's also incredibly resource intensive. guzzling up some 90000000000 cubic feet of water annually. that's 4 percent of global fresh water usage. unload the water, goes into producing all case almost always these and but he does go through heavy heavy, the chemical processes to make them the way they are today. whether it's finishing, whether it's dying, priyanka, qana collaborates with brands and produces to foster sustainable innovation and fashion, which is why it is mostly not even the nation, but does andre di biodegradable. and it takes sometimes over to 100 years for these materials to buy it as a degraded industrial. and that's

a big problem because we produce a lot of text. i'll waste in the us, tex always has grown 80 percent since the year 2000. rachel keeps even set kind of services great, which supports industry and government and reaching sustainability goals is our fastest growing waste stream. we send over 30000000000 pounds of tech styles to landfill every year in the us along most of our old clothes and in landfill. what does induced frequently bend on sold stock and donated old closing a frequently shipped to the global south for resale, such as here in a crowd, county with 40 percent of what arrives is actually considered trash the us. and so the 600000000 key, those of use closing abroad every year, largely to the rest of the americas. while you are a big sports, i have a one and a half 1000000000 kilos, much it to us again. often it is dumped, bend old,

pollutes oceans and waterways. textile waste isn't just old. well warm toes. it also includes excess stock and the scraps generated during production. less than one percent of this material. that's the spike going today. which means all of this is going somewhere. when we collect close there, primarily going to be sorted for reuse. that's the highest value. so some of those close may be down cycle and so insulation, some may be sold as wiper rags, and then a small portion can be mechanically recycled. but mechanical recycling has its limitations. in 2020 full mechanical recycling is the best option. we have close of chops up and spun into a new 5. it's, it's way back to the landfills, but also involves a drop in quantity. and it's read that such materials can be recycled again. but that could soon change. there are a bunch of exciting new recycling companies,

posting new technology and hoping to taylor in the future for tech style waste. firstly, those chemical recycling textiles are broken down to the molecular level and then be built into various materials. while some companies only recycle caution, australia is blocked, techs can recycle blended material, chemically separating synthetic polyester from natural costs. and 5 is polyester is converted into pellets, which can be used for textiles, orders, materials, and construction well caught in the fellows. this turned into clay that of uses in textiles, agriculture and even packaging. the flexibility is intentional, i would never want to be beholden to my outtakes just to one brand, because i know how badly those those brands can behave. patriot and jones co founded blog, tx in 2018. we prefer black text to have it takes. i can be useful to many robs and

just be useful to wants. i think that's been a real difference for us in the industry. everybody's is preoccupied with making more textiles blocked texts, recently announced it would expand capacity to $10000.00 tons a year. refresh, global invalid also emphasizes flexibility to you. back to you, you break down on sanitize text. i'll waste creating 3 roll materials. none of settlers eval on sinusoids, text phone. pope 3 refresh cables. pub is these materials i used to make anything ranging from furniture to bike frames, to f, an old based cosmetics refresh. global is a relatively new company plans to develop a network at smaller facilities that can be developed quickly and flexibly with partners. that's quite different to sweden's renew. so one of the world's biggest chemical textile recyclers. it was among the fist to.
