agencies. failure to prevent the shooter getting within range of the republican candidates. the . i'm clear, richardson, thank you so much for joining us. joe biden has pulled out of the us presidential race bowing. 2 weeks of pressure over his age and health. biden's run for re election was thrown into disarray late last month after a digital debate performance against donald trump. he is now backing his running mate, vice president comma le harris to replace him at the top of the ticket. and a growing list of democrats is now also supporting her nomination. after weeks of speculation and denials us president joe biden has a band and his bid for re election in november. as in a statement,

biden said, i believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president. for the remainder of my term. the capitalist was his debate against donald trump. i should be biden struggle to keep his train of thought or interest performance fueled concerns about his age and cognitive state. if we finally b, medicare bite and has now endorsed his vice president, common law harris as the challenger to donald trump, but americans are divided on his choice. awful, awful news. joe biden got 14000000 votes. he should be the candidate. she's a woman. what also maybe she was make change for us on so what we mean a lot of change. we need definitely some fees to. i don't see where they have

really much a chance. i think it's over for, it's a, it's a party that is deconstructing it is failing and i think the whole world is is where the thing that right now donald trump reacted to the news thing. cricket joe biden was not fit to run for president and is certainly not fit to serve. and he never was. he only attained the position of president by lies fake news and not leaving his basement. all those around him, including his doctor and the media. knew that he wasn't capable of being president, and he wasn't in 2020 harris failed in her bid to become the democratic nominee. now, she is closer than ever. it all depends on how delegates vote at the democratic convention in august. you have a pet couple of memory. many notable democrats have already endorsed harris, a former prosecutor and attorney general as are caused. some of the party's top brass have not backed her. critics say harris lacks a clear vision and has been absent on the political stage. biden's late withdrawal

has up ended the democratic campaign. the party must quickly find its footing with just months until the election for more, let's get straight across to dw as washington bureau chief, n s o n s. what is the feeling there in the nation's capital? do you have the sense that there was a new momentum of new energy within the democratic party after this announcements, the you know, clear, the majority here in the united states was really not excited about this election campaign at all. this is 12 men who had no new message to deliver. so the biggest crest really felt was who is able to get more people out to vote. but this of course, has totally changed over the last 24 hours. one clear indicator is of course, the money pouring into this election campaign of fundraising, really rems upcoming. the harris race nearly $50000000.00. just in the hours of the

president abiding and doors to her. and then there are of course, also very important young voters and extra dislike. for example, david talked, we survived the 2018 mess, shooting and parts and raised over $200.00, also within hours on his social media calling. so yes, it's a totally different vibe in the united states, which is just waking up to this monday morning and the bite and harris campaign. now of course the, just the harris campaign. if she does end up on this ticket, she's going to need a running mate for vice president. who might that be? or yeah, and that of course will be closer because also all she is a woman and she is a black woman. and many people fear that the united states is still not really ready for having a black woman in the white house. so the v p. p will be crucial, and it's very likely that she will pick a governor and a wide governor from one of these crucial springs states. so pennsylvania governor

john shapiro is one of the names which is circulating here. then of course, kentucky governor ended this year and then there's also an interesting figure that's arizona, senator mark kelly. he's a former s one out and it's also fairly well known in the united states. i personally think of the coming of hers won't wait for too long until she will or now is home. she will pick a sleepy. i mean, this has really thrown everything into the air, hasn't that n as the trump campaign? let's talk about them briefly. they've, of course, been focused on biden as the candidate they expected trump to be going up against and now they're going to need to really shift the gears. what might we see from them going forward in terms of their campaign strategy? they totally do right there. and we had a couple of conversations from the r and see the republican national convention, which does just finished last thursday in milwaukee. and they of course,

were totally 1st focused on to bite. and they ran many like pictures and little video clips about him falling down or falling up stairs and stumbling, mumbling. so they have to shift gears. they now try to kind of say that couple of harris was a total failure. that she being responsible for the a border control of failed and she was kind of or is responsible for the same politics. joe biden put out there. so they have to shift gear and they have to find a way how to beat this woman who was so successful. also on social media. i mean take talking to instagram, just loves come a lot higher. so it shall be interesting. if uh, the trump campaign is able to kind of to get a quote on that. thank you so much for your reporting that his deed of use, washington bureau chief, you know, as over reporting. now

let's get a view on what all this means for transatlantic relations. and by bringing in rachel rizzo, a non resident senior fellow at the atlantic council for more welcome. so now the biden has said he's not running, he's instead focusing his remaining 6 months in the office on what he will do there . how much do you think that is going to affect how strong of a partner he will be for transatlantic allies as well? i think that the message that bite incent both during his campaign and during his presidency was that america is back that after 4 years of uncertainty and mercury on this under trump presidency, that america could be seen again as a reliable ally and partner. and that's certainly what he's been trying to message to the europeans for the last 4 years, with his art in support of both nato, the european union,

and certainly the war in ukraine. and so i think with his remaining time in office, those are the things that's his legacy that i think in terms of foreign policy he's going to work on solidifying but. busy he passes the torch, come january of next year. so tell us a little bit more about exactly what transatlantic partners are hoping to see now from a democratic campaign in the united states as well. we've sort of gotten into this weird dynamic, i think, in europe where the democratic party is sort of seen as the saviors of the transatlantic alliance, the champions of the transatlantic alliance. whereas the republicans are sometimes seen as the potential death. now of that, i certainly trump and his team have been much harsher on nato, a calling europeans free riders, calling the european union a project meant to undermine the united states. they've been much harsher on europe

than the democrats have. so i would really like to see us get out of this dynamic, and i'd actually like to see a comma harris if she ends up being the nominee and her vice president, you know, take a tough line on your, if not, maybe go as far as trump has gone, but say, you know, america is back, but europe does need to pull more of its weight. does need to figure out how to spend more on defense and shoulder more of the burden of its own continental security. because that's i think, where we're headed in the future as the united states continues this pivot to the indo pacific region. so i think your plans are expecting sort of a lighter touch from the democrats and they could expect that. but i would like to come to a harris or again, whoever the nominee is to come out, perhaps a little bit tougher than bite and has over the last few years. how likely do you think that is to happen that surely not what transatlantic allies would actually like to see to well, i actually think it, it could happen because we've seen this dynamic in the us where the republicans

have sooner sort of cornered the market on this messaging but biting has tried over the last few months, i think to increase of color harris is profile in europe. she has replaced him after munich security conference, both in 20232022 sent a message of unity but also send a message of, you know, the need to increase defense spending and some of the issues that i mentioned before. so again, i don't think we're going to go, the democrats are going to go for republican on this messaging, but combo a harris as someone who is not a foreign policy person, herself, takes a lot of her cues from her advisors and people who have been in this game for a long time. so let's see the kind of guidance they give her and where this might go over the next few months. but again, we'll have to wait and see a lot of things are up in the air at the moment. indeed, what about the war in ukraine? what do you think we would expect to see from a potential harris administration,

a continuation of backing for ukraine's war effort in the same way we've seen under biden. and i think we'll see more continuity than change on that front. the problem really isn't with the white house. the problem is the difficulty that the white house has a getting a potential a passed on capital hill. the warren ukraine has turned into a highly partisan issue. we saw that a, that issue discussed a lot at the republican national convention last week. gigi vance has been very vocal about his desire to end us support for ukraine. so i think as a counter to that, we'll see cala harris or whoever the nominee is be a very pro ukraine in the same way that joe biden has been during his presidency. but again, it is going to be difficult no matter who wins the selection, especially if it's a democrat given the partisanship surrounding ukraine that has developed on capital

hill. well, thank you so much for joining us today with your insights. that is rachel result with the atlanta council. all the ahead of us secret service is appearing before a congressional committee to answer questions over the attempted assassination of donald trump. kimberly chito is facing calls to resign from some lawmakers who say her agency should have stopped the suspected shooter before he fired at trump. earlier this month, the trump was wounded in uh in his ear and an outdoor election campaign. raleigh in pennsylvania. then if you just really mean, if you still do the job search, take a look what type of the shots are fired and the politic preexisting drums. yeah. the former president said by the assassination attempt to the u. s. secret service set, its agents killed the $28.00 or 2 to the shooter, fired from the roof of

a warehouse, lifting it around 150 meters from donald trump, a rooftop that offered a close and debated and an up structed view of the former president the us, the good service facing stuff, questions as to why the warehouse building was left out of the security zone. it's responsibility was given to local law enforcement officials and no police officers were stationed on the defect, says, but it's not only the warehouse is security that is being pushed and it's also unclear how the gunman got on the roof. a scene in the footage. some people at their valley, the porter disrespected gunmen to the local police. it's not clear if the local law enforcement officers informed service agents about the suspect. the secret service short include the gunman after he began his story. it's not get clear. if the u. s. secret service field and it's mean task to protect the former

president, or if it was a security lapse that could have been avoided. this is now defended of investigations run by members of congress and the secret service. it says, let's get some insights here. i'm pleased to welcome it, teegan abroad water, a former police officer, and president of the security company, tactical systems network in fort worth, texas. thank you so much for joining us. at this event we had such a beer. trump wounded one person killed, 2 others injured in your experience. what exactly do you think went wrong on this occasion as well? i think there's a number of things that could have gone wrong and it, they remain to be seen in specifically which it is, but you have a number of agencies that are participating in this entire operation here. i think the fact that it, this building was said outside of the security zone is somewhat irrelevant because the secret service typically will start an outer perimeter and work in any way. and

although there are processes in place, they typically will try to figure out how they would do it and try to mitigate the circumstances to make it harder for somebody to do it as they would starting with higher ground and opportunities to take a long shots and this one isn't even particularly long, i mean, you don't have to be, but average skill to even make the shot. so i think there was a huge ball that was dropped. the state police were assigned to that building, but they stayed inside. so there's information to be seen whether or not somebody neglected to be up there. but i think ultimately the secret service is the entity in charge of the safety and security operation. so it is the owners of responsibility and accountability wise with them. so it sounds like you think this was a security lapse that could have potentially been avoided. you mentioned the secret service working together with other agencies. can you explain

a little more about where responsibilities typically fall when you have multiple agencies working on security on something like this? yeah, you always have points of contact that are leading each entity and they coordinate . so ultimately, again, the secret service has the power to run the operation as they deem necessary. they come out and do the all the advance work. they take up to a week to do all these things, leading up to an event like this. and, and they, but they only have so many personnel to spread into something like this. so they leverage law enforcement, local law enforcement or security entities to take over certain aspects of their plan. and there has to be an understanding as to what the expectations are and everything, but still the secret service is solely responsible for formulating this plan and putting it into action. so in that sense, would secret service then have any say in choosing a location or advising on one to the trump campaign?

yes, for sure. they would, they would dictate all of that. and liberty's law enforcement, where they feel is and where they are most vulnerable to take over those areas, which again is why elapses. so obviously, i don't even think anyone doubts that there was a laps here. and perhaps it's an opportunity to go back and reassess how things are being done. but uh, you know, hearing that some of the, uh, local law enforcement are pointing fingers back to the secret service secret service pointing law enforcement is kind of ridiculous too, because obviously secret service is the one that is accountable and they have to take responsibility for law enforcement at the same time also can't be saying, hey, we were asking to take a shot and weren't given permission to take a shot. when law enforcement also has sworn duty to protect life anyway. so whether or not they get assign from somebody else to take a shot, if they think something is negligent,

it's kind of on their own accord as well. i wanna ask you about something else that came out of this event. us secret service has now said that in the past repeatedly denied requests from trump's team for more security over the past 2 years. so not this specific raleigh. do you think this incident could have perhaps been avoided by having more people on the ground? um that's a good question and it remains to be seen because i think they had enough people by leveraging additional entities. but if, if what trump was asking for was more specifically secret service agents to be present, i don't know what that process entails and, and how they determine how they spread the numbers of people that they have. but you know, it's a limited number of people. so it's, it's impractical to think that you could populate an entire operation like us with secret service exclusively at every event all around the world. so, you know, uh,

i don't think this was a manpower issue at all, or that would have been something that came out. i just think that there was some negligence on one of the entities part. and i think was checks and balances in place. the way they are, none of the should have happened to think there any other lessons learned as we move ahead in this campaign about how secret service and other groups provide security for candidates. well i think i think complacency is the big issue here and i could be wrong. and again, we'll find out more when cheadle talks today and perhaps she will own this as you know, something under her leadership. but um, i think, i think a lot of the basics wherever ignored here. so yes, there's always something you can do to improve operations like this. but i think in this case it's complacency that led them to just ignore some of the obvious things that they can now check themselves on moving forward. well,

thank you so much for joining us today on dw news, but those insights that is security expert. so you're gonna broadwater from fort worth, texas. thank. so we do have time now to take a look at some other stories making headlines around the worlds. 5 people have been killed in a shooting at a nursing home in eastern croatia. police say the gunmen fled the scene, but was later arrested. authorities are investigating the motive behind the attack . police in greenland have arrested prominent anti wailing environmental. this paul watson on an international warrant issued by japan, police escorted watson office ship shortly after it dropped into capital nuke. his foundations of the arrest may have been linked to one of his previous anti wailing interventions. japan is experiencing record high temperatures as the capital tokyo at 38 degrees celsius. the weather expected to get even warmer and it's predicted the country could see. it's hard to stay in a decade,

according to an advisory authorities of our just as citizens, to take precautions to prevent heat stroke and to stay hydrated and former vietnamese ty. kuhn at trent on korea appeared in court in hanoi on monday. the latest and a spring of crackdowns, he's charged with fraud amounting to $140000000.00 and the stock market manipulation. the trial follows the recent death of former communist party leader, new and food trunk, who spearheaded a number of anti corruption campaigns. well, the bangladesh, a student group, leading protests against civil service hiring rules have set a 48 hour deadline for the government to meet its demands. they're calling on authorities to restore the internet withdrawal curfews and released obtained protesters more than a 100 people have been killed in class as you and rest began after the government reintroduced a controversial quarter system for 30 percent of civil service jobs were set aside

for the families of veterans, the supreme court drastically scaled back that quote, up to 5 percent or has named polly eliza bangladesh, the journalist who lives in exile in sweden. i asked him earlier if the situation in bangladesh is now calmer, situation has come down a little bit. uh we have seen uh, i mean we did not see any major flashes interesting dock. uh uh, but uh on the other hand uh, i mean people's lives are really, really disrupted. i mean we, we are hearing reports that hospitals are a block bang, so run and go to the blog. there is, you know, there are thousands of injured people seeking medical care right now more by the money of my mother. she's going to be very much dependent on moving money that is not working for me. phone connections locally, even on not working. so it's very,

very disruptive. it's, it's very, very fluid. i'd have to say, we've mentioned that the supreme court's decision to change this controversial quota system. so we've mentioned that decision, it is accommodating students demands in a way do you see this as a victory for the protest movement? of course it is a victory. the supreme quote, a judgement or direction actually confirms what the students have always been saying. they have been saying and claiming that it is not is truly about the quotes . it is actually the executive branch of development that has the authority that has the legal follow to do what do or each one's ridiculous. so even if you look at the like verbal decision that came to disappear include yesterday the quote is seeing exactly the same thing. the government is free to do what every once the 5 percent a one percent of you know,

the most indeed is that the court has mentioned, the government is free to use and revise tools. so it is always, that's exactly what the students have been seeing. so the quote really was not an issue. i mean, if the government wanted to dig good, have accepted the students, 3 lead you to make very valid demand on the want. instead of, you know, going into indiscriminate kings of this protest. so is that what this is really about here? um, are there other specific, a demands that the students have to oh, right now, the movement has completely moved be on the demand for refund to go to the scene. government jobs right now. they're demanding. for example, the resignation of the home and is to their resignation of the one of the most senior leaders of the ruling on the part the, the of the transportation and the soul. but because they're the one chick i've seen, the prime minister has sales to take full responsibility for all of the motors

gives an april of jobs to the nation. they want all the police chiefs who have come on responses you do with the feelings to be fired and i'm a girl like a set of 90 months. i'm not going through that, but those are the major do months right now they have and i think these do, mom is a truly have widespread public support inside and outside has been glad. does she journalist tests name julio? speaking to me earlier. now, just before we go, let's get a reminder of the top story we're following for you. a us president joe biden has ended his re election bed after weeks of pressure from the fellow democrats over his age and fitness widen, has endorsed vice president pamela harris to take on donald trump in november. and that is your news updates this. now where you'll find much more on our website
