the, the, you're watching the news coming to live from berlin. joe biden drops out of the us presidential race, the 81 year old vows to pressure from within his own party. i mean, it concerns over his age and mental fitness. many democrats now hailing his decision as selfless and patriotic fighting and many leading democrats now following their support behind vice president. pamela harris does. she have what it takes to beach donald trump, who is now facing a new elect, oral landscape. world leaders pay tribute to jo biden's achievements in foreign relations. germany's all off salts says this decision to bow deserves respect. and

with us politics in turmoil, israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has to washington, or he's due to address the us congress. the . i'm sorry, richardson, thank you so much for joining us. joe biden has pulled out of the us presidential race. boeing 2 weeks of pressure over his age and health. the 81 year old said he was ending his re election bid and the best interest of his party and to the country. you announced his decision in a letter released on sunday where he said he plans to focus on his duties as president for the remainder of his term. by dint has no endorsed vice president campbell harris as the democratic part, he's new nominee to run against donald trump in november's election. let's get straight across to washington, and our correspondent janelle team alone has been following developments for us to

know a momentous shift here in this campaign season. if campbell, a harris does become the democratic nominee or their names currently circulating as to her potential choice of running mate of the claire, it might be, it might seem very aggressive uh to even talk about in this way. but uncomfortable realities are still reality. so we are talking about potentially the 1st black woman to appear on top of democratic ticket. as such, the names we are hearing and circulation to belong over whelming lead to white men . so white man who could potentially help camelot harris may be from a purple state or a swing state, or by being moderate and balancing her out because she has thoughts of being progressive. so currently there was a lot of attention on and the but she or he is the governor of kentucky. so he's a democrat and a deeply red state. so that makes some interesting. people are also looking at josh shapiro, the governor of pennsylvania. now pennsylvania, of course,

being one of those must win states. one of the blue wall states died, so the democrats are trying to retain the other ones being wisconsin and michigan. there's also mark kelley, former name in and out aust asked or not. so he is a senator from the purple state of arizona, so he has that so macho street cried going on. there's also j. b. print skirt, the governor of illinois. it's interesting because he has the pockets and who could help finance the campaign. so those are just some of the names, but it goes to show that kimberly harris has options here and a relatively deep pool of democratic talent for which to draw upon. indeed, all these possible choices aiming to broaden out the potential appeal of the tickets. and now what i find really interesting is that now the trump campaign not up against the candidate, they thought they would be. how are they going to pivot here at this point in the election cycle? yes, so the trump campaign was really meant to be a campaign to be a joe biden. not anyone else. now, they were really going after jo, biden's,

age and mental fitness, mental acuity, and now they have to pivot to come to harris. so in a situation now where it will be donald trump will be the old man in this campaign, and they also run the risk cabinet. harris might not even be the nominee at the end . arguably though, they wouldn't be more equipped to attack pamela harris over in a known quantity. she was on the ticket. so what we are expecting is that in the next weeks there will be attack ads launched against her in battle, ground states where they sort of for trade or as the one pulling the strings in the bite and administration involved and cover up. so around jo biden's health, they're also going to attack for, for policy areas where they, the republicans feel they are strong and they view the democrats as weak as, for example, the board or, and immigration. the board are having at one point been part of camelot harris has portfolio. they're going to keep hammering the point that she is somehow worse than

joe biden. so these are just some of the ways that we could expect the trump campaign to pivot in the days to con. janelle, thank you so much for that analysis. that is it. janelle do milan for us in washington dc to widens exit comes of less than a month before the democratic party convention in chicago. pamela harris, moving to walk in delegates to confirm her candidacy for president. but somewhere now, calling for the nomination process to be thrown open 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 service, 3, what is known as an open convention. the last time the democrats held and open

convention was in 1968. it descended into chaos as tempest plus the vietnam war, both inside and outside the building rest somehow, this is one of the reasons the rules are changed and policies have since last year to clear orders about before i bought it remains a legitimate way of picking the candidates it means rather than confirming and nominee selected in the primaries, as by doing was, delegates would have to choose a new nominated in an open and potentially fis competition. this year around 99 percent of some full 1000 delegates that the democratic national convention a pledge to the jury binding. but now that he has stepped aside, they are free to back whichever candidate they want. 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 candidate spotwood account and try to win the support of the nearly free don't delegate divisions that could potentially alienate voters in november or the other say that it is a risk was taking if this is the only way to beat donald trump says we've been nuts and bolts there about how that might actually work. let's bring it and stormy on milner of the director of the ask, and it's a to germany here in berlin for more on this story. welcome to dw, we know they're still high profile democrats who have not yet from their weight behind cala harris. how likely do you think it is that we will see an open convention? so 1st of all, what's really important is the camera that harris has the strong endorsement by biden. and there comes the also know contenders. and so nobody can really forward so far. and it's early days um,

but nobody came forward so far that he or she would be interested in finding against carmella harris. so that really speaks for her. but on the other hand, that also has some leading democrats who called for a mini finally, although the time is really for before the convention. so it looks very likely, as we've already heard, also in the report. and that this will be an open convention. and so why that is a risk that the democrats might air and other differences we've gotten regarding the cumberland harris before the convention. and they, they might also be, i would not say chaos, but maybe a little bit of confusion going on at the, at the convention. i would say that the democrats know very well that's any division and the party would really um, benefits from and to the opposition to tom that really unites. and that's also unites uh, the democrats. um, so i would expect that there is

a lot of wary inc. behind closed doors, the criminal harris has to work very far it's um to get the democratic and you guys should be assigned for, get the benefits behind her in the same time. already have an eye on the november elections and so also work on her electrolytes. so always our risk of publicly our divisions give a fodder to donald trump. but i suppose one question is, is, could this also galvanize the democratic base with the kind of a excitement that you need to bring out voters in this last stretch of what have been a very long election cycle? a huge. yeah, i would definitely say so, i mean the support um, before i printed the invite and, and for his campaign was really dwindling. since the disastrous i t. d v debates with trump a few weeks ago. and really the campaign bye 100 downward spiral with a very,

very little and through the, as i'm, especially among young people, but also among women also and long minorities. and here carmella harris brings a lot to the table. she is younger, she is more dynamic. she is more energetic, she is a woman, she is progressive, she is black. she speaks to minorities. she speaks to young people and she has a key of full fi when it comes to the important issue i often boston. so there are lots of lots of benefits and points to speak of for her and to her. but they also some um, not so great points for her. i mean, she was all right and still is of the, by an administration. so she also stands for some of the issues which do not resonate so much for the voters. so for example, that the economics, the good economic sedation didn't trickle down to everybody and also the immigration issue and the prices at the southern border. and they will also, um,

repeatedly questions about her leadership as a vice president and the house you treated her team. so there are points which the trump campaign is definitely going to go after and negative eds. and so it will not be a home one for her. and what about foreign policy council harris on the world stage? do we know how europe is going to be looking at her potential candidacy? will it be total continuity from abiding administration? or are there areas where she differs? so i would say that there is a lot of continuity and it isn't surprising the beds uh we hear and you up and into a many i watching the campaign and the elections very carefully, the course the united states, a such an important partner for us. so if you look at the score big kind of falling policy issues, i would say there will be a lot of continuity on ukraine, for example. she will most likely continue to support the ukraine. although

she depends on the support for congress, because she doesn't have the power of the price congress does. and she is going to continue to ask um that your pin allies, to definitely step up their own security measures and investment and security. the 2nd big policy following part of the issue, china, this was a, uh, a topic and was this big bipartisan support for tested as i would expect her to continue this on the 3rd big foreign policy issue, middle east israel and palestine. i would also expect that she continues so strong support as well, but she has also pointed repeatedly at the humanitarian crisis in peg this time. so it could be a little bit of a tougher rhetoric and ask questions east on for me, part of see i also see a lot of continuity. well, thank you so much for that wrap up. that is the director of the aspen institute. stormy on? no, no, we very much appreciate your time today. thank you so much for having me. star.

around the world and there has been praise for biden's achievements and office and his legacy for u. s. foreign relations. there's dw sharianda with reaction from india. india as boston to stick with the us boom, done to the president ship of joe biden. he goes to america as partnership with india on some most consequential in the was. and that was reinforced by the red carpet by combining the indian fabulous and the movie during his stay was assuming you were last here. while the southern announcement by biden has come as a surprise, it is left to a lot of anticipation in india focus as quickly move to vice president coming on. how does this indian goals she's the highest ranking indian american in the us history, as well as the 1st female and black vice president, as dual by didn't endorse to a democratic party presidential nominee excitement is building up 8000 miles away from washington and hold on such a village in southern india back in 2021. the entire village is going to send to put them in. rockford enjoy and celebrated her. you know relation is vice president

with firecrackers and marches on the street. vice president coming as mcdonough, the grandfather was born in this village more than a century ago. and the village of stick, a huge amount of fright in the fact that one of their own is entering so close to the top position in global politics. nicole, the daughter of the village highest, was born to an indian mother, and a jamaican father would migrate it to the us. so naturally there's already a sense of excitement and the possibility that a woman with indian who is going to be running for the american president ship, also for indians come with us politically, call you as a woman, as a force black and indian american candidate is a testament to the achievements of the indian community in america. so there would be high hopes from hole in this part of the wood, if she indeed goes on to become america's next president and some other world leaders of also paid tribute to joe biden. many expressing support and respect for his difficult decision. present button has been a great friend of australia and that will continue to look forward to meeting with

president barton at the j 20 in the i peck summit that will be held light at the see present button. it deserves to die. ah seems to be recognized for once again, not putting himself forward 1st, but giving his 1st consideration to being what he believes in the interests of the united states of america. the big over know of the question you of asked has to do with america's domestic politics, which i refrained to comment on directly. by the way, i recognize the president barton made this decision since beginning with the desire to make the best possible political decision. though, for a sweet family dental hunt on the out of a school, you thought she was easy to handle me. but are you a, needless to say, the japan us alliance is the cornerstone of japan's diplomacy and security. okay.

sweet day. and we will closely monitor the future development. so we, this for president joe biden is a private american with an irish. so in every office he is housed, he has always been so supportive of peace on this island and so supportive of our engine general. indeed, i had a chance only a couple of weeks ago and to speak of president biden on the phone and the occasion . we talked about northern ireland, we talked about his appointment of joe kennedy is an economic invoice. and we talked about conflicts in the world including and gaza, for i know he's working so hard to bring advice as far. so i want to wish to bite and all the very best and his family, i understand and respect his decision. and we can get the view of biden's decision to drop out from here in germany, chancellor. all actual say my friend to joe biden has achieved a lot for his country for europe, for the world's, thanks to him. transatlantic cooperation is close nato as strong as the usa is a good and reliable partner for us. his decision not to run again, deserves respect. and germany's foreign minister on

a lena bear bulk echoed those sentiments at a e. u meeting and brussels. i have a host of respect for the inside don't have great respect for the president's decision items that joe biden is putting his country's interest above his own. and he has been an incredible job for grants. atlantic relations during his during most presidents, a cooperation is perhaps stronger now than it has ever been by decides to do, intern z for the need to for. and we've dw clinical correspondent julia so delegate, following political reactions from here in germany. julia do those reactions. we just heard from the chancellor and from the foreign minister, some of the general mood in germany i would say, may do. we've heard from across the aisle, from members of the government as we've heard, but also from members of the opposition. a lot of expressions of respect for joe biden, for his decision to withdraw from the race, but also for what he did as president of the united states. we've heard, for example, also from sleeping match. he's the leader of the conservative opposition party. see,

you see, do you sorry, appraising his decision biden's decision to step back, but also remembering that he served the us of the american people for a 5 decades. so also looking at bite and as a politician overall, there is one exception to this general mood of praise and respect that is coming from the far right. a sd part of here in germany, we've seen some leading members criticize bite in almost a mockingly talking about bite and, and his decision to step down. but overall, there is a mood of, of praise and respect among politicians here in germany. deep and a tell our audience how important of a difference it makes for germany, who eventually ends off in the white house as well. it is seen as a crucial by many here in germany who is going to become the next us president. whether it's going to be donald trump,

or the democratic candidate who is going to be the actual democratic candidate, is of less concerned because the thought is that whoever will be the next candidate, cala harris or somebody else will follow in the footsteps of what joe biden has done so far, but were donald trump to become the next president? and then concerns have actually been mounting here in germany for a while. now looking back at trump's previous presidency relations between germany and europe in general. and the us had soured quite significantly. donald trump was regularly criticizing europe, germany, but also personally, the chancellor at the time here in germany, i'm getting american with personalized attacks against her. the concern is that we're trump, to return the relations, could again sour, and that a more isolation is a more america 1st us could mean trouble for the transatlantic relationship, but also for a specific issues like military and financial support for ukraine. the fear is that

we're the us to withdraw most of the support to europe would not be able to, to sustain the burden on its own. and we know that behind the scenes politicians here in germany, but also in europe have been working on contingency plans where trump to become president again. but we've also seen a scene from the reactions today. and yesterday that there is a hope that it will actually be a democratic candidate to them for male. well, thank you so much for that. that is our political correspondent, julia. so deli and we do have time to bring you up to speed with some other world news headlines. former vietnamese tied kuhn at trends on korea appeared in court in hanoi on monday. the latest in a string of crackdowns, he is charged with fraud amounting to $140000000.00 and stock market manipulation. the trial follows the recent death of former communist party leader nguyen, food trunk, who spearheaded a number of anti corruption campaigns. 5 people have been killed in a shooting at

a nursing home in eastern croatia. police say the gunman fled the scene, but was later arrested. authorities are investigating the motive behind the attack and another news is rarely prime minister. benjamin netanyahu is on his way to washington dc where he will deliver a landmark speech to the united states congress ahead of the trip nation. yahoo, thank to bite and for his contribution to us as well. relations following the president's decision to end his re election campaign. and we also said israel will be the united states strongest ally in the middle east, regardless of who is elected in november or on this from the date of youth corresponded to abraham in jerusalem. and what more do we know about netanyahu's visit to the united states as well? this is of the visit that was obviously planned well before us president biden's announcement to and his bid for

a 2nd term in office. and it also comes after a time of really frosty relations between nothing yahoo and biting over israel's conduct of the war in gaza. and more specifically, israel's incursion on rough which the united states had been quite critical of after you know, sort of more or less unconditionally supporting israel, following the attacks of october, the 7th. and now we're seeing missing yahoo strike a more unified tone given a given biden's announcement. he's a good to me. i was expected to address congress and there was a lot of speculation. but that speech would try to play up a, his perceived a, his perceived lack of support from biden's. but we're now hearing, but that speech to congress is likely to strike another uh, you know, more of the,

of what we've heard today. more emphasis on the unity and everything that biden has done for a israel. at the same time. this comes at a kind of more or less a low point for that's an yeah. who's popularity, the war and it's not on the 9th month now and with hostages. still being held in gaza, we even saw protesters at the airport here in israel as a prime minister was leaving, calling on him to try and find another deal that would bring back the remaining hostages and, and the war in gaza. so considering all those factors just briefly, if you could, a few problems out and tell us where this leaves us and is really relations, i don't think this is likely to have a huge effect on is really american relations look. even though there have been critical statements coming from washington towards been antonia who administration in the conduct of the war, the united states still remains, israel's biggest ally,

not just when it comes to providing weapons that have of course contributed to the war in gaza, but also the providing diplomatic cover for israel in international forums like the united nations security council. and so even though there are disagreements, i don't think this really marks a huge departure from the iron clad american support for israel a and to a very large extent, the war. but thank you so much for that. that is our corresponded to abraham in jerusalem. we do want to bring you an update from bangladesh where the student group leading demonstrations against and government job quote is suspended protests for 48 hours and go over the hiring rules. snowballed into weeks of violence and led to thousands of deaths on sunday. the supreme court scales back the controversial system at the heart of the unrest. the students typing jeanette list
