the the, this is dw news mind from brother in coming to hire secure small, high profile support for have paid. so when the democratic nomination for president, the car in the us, vice president is moving fast to secure the backing. she needs some leading democrats on the campaign donations with how she's done. you know, the race for the nomination was spot vice president. 5 is decision not to seek re election, many democrats, and not hiring this as a socialist unpacked. we also got to see the mission is to protect our nation's leaders. on july 13th, we failed to visit the head of the us with the sales congress the attempted assassination of donald trump's. course the agency is the biggest failure for

the i'm feel welcome to the program. us vice president couple of harris has made the 1st public appearance since beginning have been to win the democratic nomination for president of the united states as an event at the white house. she prized president bible's achievements and talks about to a professional relationship with his son. the job i have is legacy of accomplishment over the past 3 years. is unmatched in modern history. in one term, he has already, yes, you may class in one term, he has already surpassed the legacy of most presidents with serve 2 terms and office . and i 1st came to know president biden through his son bo,

we worked together as attorneys general in our states. and back then bo would often tell me stories about his dad. he would talk about the kind of father and the kind of man that joe biden is. the qualities that both revered and his father are the same qualities that i have seen every day. and our president, his honesty, his integrity, his commitment to his face and his family, his big heart, and his love, deep love of our country. and i am firsthand witness that every day our present and joe biden fights for the american people. and we are deeply, deeply grateful for his service to our nation. meanwhile, leading members of the democratic party rallying behind mattresses, a bid to win the parties nomination, fetching democrats, a former house speaker,

nancy pelosi has given the habits and adornments michigan governor gretchen new equipment who had been tipped to throw her house into the ring is also supporting the highest compact, kamala harris has already made history once, by being the 1st female and the 1st black vice president of the united states. she was in no hurry to get rid of fighting, initially holding the line for him. after his disastrous debate performance that we believe in our president joe biden, and we believe in what he stands for the soonest of this. oh, this begins to push the hood to replace him. if he stepped to side is the scenario . few would have predicted just a couple of years ago. the story of her vice presidency was overshadowed by criticism. some said hers was failing to make the most of her role

and was being an effective. however, supports his claim. she was being sidelined and held to a higher standard because she was a woman on black. yeah. perhaps on surprisingly, for one who managed to become the vice president of the us. she's not the person to back down there going to be many times in your life where you're going to be told that can't be done. it's never been done before. it's not time, they're not ready for it. and then this is the one i love. it's going to be a lot of hardcore don't to listen. i, you know, for breakfast some other fun to the also working, you know, favor, she's already on the ticket and a search would automatically inherit the infrastructure and funds of biden's campaign with tens of millions of dollars. she also

has the highest name, recognition of all the alternatives and he's already a player on the global stage. she's become a leading voice on abortion rights. one of the key issues of the campaign and has prioritized finding solutions for the migration crisis of the us as southern border . but most crucial level, perhaps in the weeks after the debate. i think companies showed harris had a great to chance to buy a winning the election straight to our washington bureau chief in his poll a welcome. in his i was the higher his campaign picks up, momentum and support. is this providing the democratic campaign with a new energy or just more chaos? no, it doesn't have to be more energy filled with just her that like really major big

names are rallying behind, kind of the hair is biting. of course, the press, the president, the clinton's, came out yesterday by today. just right now nancy pelosi, the former speaker of the house, also endorsed her and that is huge. she is known to be a king, or maybe in this case, a green maker. and, but it's also interesting that some of her potential arrivals like california is gavin use. i'm also a rally behind her. so she gets a lot of support from people and a lot of money more than $150000000.00 kind of were collected in these big super pegs and other groups uh, within the last 24 hours. so definitely a change in the mute, at least in the democratic part of this country and a totally new energy in this whole election campaign. so do that, does this mean that a couple of hours a sudden to get the nomination, or will there be some sort of competition at the convention?

it's yeah, that is the big question. right. the convention takes place in 3 weeks or so in chicago, some and also some, a well known voice as ask for an open convention saying that would be the only kind of a genuinely democratic process to pick the candidate as coming to her as has the notes on the ballot during the primaries, of course. uh we shall see. uh, you know, we have to keep in mind it has to be more than half a century since the democrats chosen. i mean the through an open convention. uh and uh, it's really very unknown and nobody really is sure if they can really put up the process to do so within the next 3 weeks. and so how does this change effect? but, but from comp time may be focusing on joe, by now they have to get up to face a potential new opponent the right. i was the

milwaukee last week to cover the republican national convention. and so i witnessed the really 1st eyes how the whole come. pain was focusing on biden's weakness. they showed video clips of him falling down the stairs and mumbling stumbling and also many of the delegates we talked to. of course we're focusing not so much. and by this politics, but on him being not able to hold this office anymore. so yes indeed, the republicans needs to shift the narrative, so to speak. what they will do and already are doing, of course, saying that kind of the harris kind of coal owns the policy of president a bite and then is also responsible for his phase years, such as the, the migration of the border issue, or also the inflation. a, an economy economical issues here in the country. so that's why they got to put out . and then they also will argue, argue legally, saying that like these 40000000 americans are so awarded for bought by and have no

say any more so many, many uh, things we have to cover for the next couple of days and weeks. okay. uh, thanks for now. i do w, washington bureau chief again, his positive state. if we finally b, medicare bite and has now endorsed his vice president comma law harris as the challenger to donald trump, but americans are divided on his choice is 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 special. we mean a lot of change. we need definitely some fees to. i don't see where they have really much of chance. i think it's over for it's, it's a, it's a party that is deconstructing it is failing, and i think the whole world is, is witnessing that right now. donald trump reacted to the news saying,

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 technical memory. many notable democrats have already endorsed harris, a former prosecutor and attorney general as our cause. 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 signed its footing with just months until the election would pick over some of this very that dr.

andric investigate who is an associate professor of political science at emory university. she joins us from washington. welcome back to d w. what do you think changed jo biden's minds after so many weeks of resistance? i think it was the accumulation of people calling for him to drop out of the race. it didn't stop. and in fact, it was reaching a question though, that coupled with the fact that major democratic donors started to threaten withholding funds from not only his presidential campaign, but also from down ballot house and senate races, i think ended up pushing joe biden to the point where he realized that he couldn't sustain a campaign and that it would probably be best for him to drop out of how do you think this has got to be received by vote, just because for weeks, the democratic policy told every, well joe biden is the best we have now suddenly he's not, will this damage, democratic prospect of that and in of itself won't damage his prospects. there are

lots of public opinion polls pointed to the fact that lots of people have questions about job eyes age. and i think core democratic voters are going to support the democratic nominee, whoever that is. the whole by switching candidates out is that people will be less concerned about the democratic candidates, a physical and mental fitness for office. and they're hoping that this actually den side the shot as find is that shines a spotlight on the issues that democrats want to tell is the reasons why they should control the white house, as opposed to donald trump in the republicans. now that being said, joe biden was struggling to craft a resident message for voters. that's how did the highlights of his record. and so calmly, harris now is going to have to do a better job the job i did, of crafting that message and making the case for why democrats should hold onto the white house for another 4 years. and she's got to do so holding the same record that job i had. so she isn't quite presenting herself as change in the way that say

brock obama was able to do in 2008. she is changing that she is a different younger, more energetic candidate, but she is still sort of, you know, she is still going to have the incumbent parties record. she's going to have to defend that. and so all. busy the democrats best to effectively, and i gave this position to a to couple of hours. oh, would it be best for them to, to have a competition as well? i mean, she will be duly voted in as, as, as the nominee. so the delegates who have already been chosen for the convention are going to have votes, so there will be some support sort of small the democratic process. so, you know, i think it becomes the question of whether or not there are other people who choose to participate in an open contest. it primary from what we've seen happen in the last 24 hours. it looks like harris's consolidating support around to her. so it

seems with each passing day, increasingly less likely that she's going to see a serious challenge or so that we would have a type of open, contested primary that might lead to multiple ballots and some perceived level of chaos. so i think what you've seen happened is, is that she has reached out to democratic party stalwarts and the lead. she's gathering endorsements. she's not done with them yet. we'll see if anybody else puts their hat in the ring. but i think it is highly unlikely that she will get a strong challenge from somebody else within her party. okay, you've told us about her use and the energy she brings to a base campaign which votes us, do democrats lose with cumberland harris at the top of the ticket as well and, and she's still going after the same voters that joe biden was going after. they were concerned about a lack of enthusiasm, amongst core democratic voters that could actually end up hurting joe biden. so in particular, could you lose enough of these voters in battleground states,

such that a binding would end up losing the electoral college. so the base of the democratic party are african american voters, particularly african american women. um and there isn't much room to grow within that constituencies. is that those upwards of 90 percent democratic but this might be the type of thing that would energize now. um, i think the hope is that uh she might be able to do a better job of energizing young voters that she's made enough in roads and has enough support amongst progressives that she might be able to keep them in the democratic fold. and with a message that focuses on reproductive rights, that that might be something that would resonate with women, particularly young women or suburban women as well. so i think the question then becomes and does come to a harris resonate with some of the motors that democrats would try to reach in the middle. so, democrats live long boss working class white voters, which he do a better job than joe biden,

of actually being able to reach out to them. one of my colleagues just that on the, on another program, that's probably unlikely, but i think the question is, does she expect the bass enough that she could offset potential losses for voters were not guaranteed to vote democratic with voters who have a much, much higher probability the voting democratic, thank you for guiding us through that. so clearly i physical science is dr. andrew glass be from a m, or you to actually taking so much. thank you. i to us secret service director kimberly cheapo has admitted the agency failed to protect donald trump against them. assassination attempt in pennsylvania on the 13th of july, little make as if in expressing anger of how the government forgets so close to the republican presidential nominee. when he was supposed to be being catholic, god, the secret service has acknowledged that they denied some request by the trump campaign for increased security as easy beds in the years before this assassination

attempt services. addressing congress to all right, the chief of describes as the agencies most significant operational criteria for decades. good morning. the secret service of solemn mission is to protect our nation's leaders. on july, 13th, we failed as a director of the united states secret service. i take full responsibility for any security lapse of our agency. we are fully cooperating with ongoing investigations . we must learn what happened and i will move heaven and earth to ensure that an incident like july 13 does not happen again. i think in broad was as a full the police officer, he's the president of the security company types gold systems network in fort worth, texas. welcome to data. we just had the secret service directive and accepting full responsibility so fosters ignore calls to resigns. do you think she'll keep her job as well? that's a great question. it kind of remains to be seen primarily because there was kind of

a lot of grandstanding today and, and very few specific answers that she could give because their investigation is going to take a little longer obviously. so it remains to be seen whether or not she's going to be kicked out, or obviously she's not going to step down on her own record. but i think part of the problem is, the only way that they're really going to salvage this is if there are definitive actions taken based on what the investigation on covers. so as long as we don't really know what the investigation will yield, it's going to be difficult to guess whether or not she's going to be able to keep her position and was given the investigation that he's on guarding it. as you say from what you've seen, what do you think the secret service screw up all the streams i got lucky or i definitely think there was a screw up and, and i think director title is pretty much and see did that today which i was glad

at least that got out of the way because there is no controversy as to whether or not paul's were dropped falls were absolutely dropped. and whether or not there were enough people present in order to provide a proper detail or not. i. i do not think that additional personnel in this case would have helped because that wasn't the excuse given as to why the building wasn't covered. i just think of a long time without an incident breeds complacency and i think somebody dropped the ball in and there was a lot of finger pointing at the beginning. but again, this investigation will and cover a lot more details. but i absolutely think there was a colossal failure on the part of law enforcement and the secret service. so talk this through the source of preparations that made ahead of a really bad like a political rally. i would say this a secret service having choosing or advising uh on the location for instance, as well. they have pretty much security exclusivity in that regard because they

come out between 4 or 567 days ahead of time and are scouting the area. they're learning about the crime statistics. they're profiling, the people that are going to be there. they're looking at coordinating ingress and egress. they're looking at a large picture from the outside in and taking care of, of potential issues that could happen from those different aspects. and you know, thinking of it as, how would you actually pose a threat to, to your asset and then how can you mitigate against that happening and, and leverage the cost versus gain and put it more and the cost for somebody to make it such an attempt so there's a lot of preparation going on there. there's a lot of interviews going on there. there are lots of coordination with other law enforcement and security entities. but ultimately, the secret service leads that entire operation, which is why they take the brunt of the accountability. so talk us to talk to us

about some of the bowls that you think what were dropped in the way that this was handled as well. number one, i think the not obviously not enough attention was paid to the building that would have been starting from the outside in almost the 1st thing that you would look at . so the fact that there were some law enforcement personnel down below makes very little sense. i don't think the sloped roof is an adequate explanation as to why he didn't have someone on the roof. so i think that was the 1st ball and dropped regardless of who was assign. the other was during the periods of time where there was communication between the secret service and law enforcement and the people who would deem this person climbing up on the roof. again, there's more finger pointing about, you know, we didn't get permission to take a shot or whatever that is. i mean, the fact is, if you're in law enforcement, the neuroscience here, or anywhere else. if there's

a threat to humanity that comes up about in your presence, you're taking care of period. so there really is no excuse there in terms of how that was handled. i think that's the primary thing and there's no telling how many other aspects of this thing were, were mishandled. but obviously the big ball was the community, the lack of expeditious communication, and not even being proper attention to the one point in which my threat could be executed. quick one than about the political climate in the us. do you mean video is more physically dangerous? now than any decades past that's a great question i, i think it's more politically charged and extreme, but i don't think the violence is increasing anymore than it has been. i think as fast as word travels. now we get word on things that happen all over the united states in real time. so it sometimes feels like we're being attacked all the time

and we have all these problems. but you know, this has been happening for a, the, a good period of time. we just have better ways of communicating in and out of, of how those things happen. so that's sort of reassuring. thank you so much for it's ok, so that security expert to take and broad water and fort worth, texas. thank you. thank you. uh, just south africa, wherever i know, hold on trafficking is on the rise again. officials i purchased killed maybe 500 animals in 2023. i mean 11 percent of jump on the here before to present the hood. scientists have results it to a new tactic that's not uncomfortable. uncontroversial the seats is making rhino is radio active in order to save them. this is a world fist. yes, i have. what else? the as well, it is tiny little radioactive chips into the hole. it's a painless process. this join animal has been tranquilized, right?

of ones are mainly used in asia and traditional medicine. they value rivals the price paid for gold. so the idea is that the value of the ryan ahold of yours, the idea is to make a, make a lot easier to attract a guy 3 borders. international crossing radiation seems as it south africa's ports and inputs can to take the treated horns. scientists have extensively tested the potential impact on the rhino is health as a off the dosage is a fairly low level low enough that it will will not an impact on the animal itself in any negative way. but yet, it is strong enough that it can be, can do 2 things. one is to range of the horn, toe, t useless, not consumable. by and by human beings. this seems to poisonous 1st human consumption for whatever and leads people want. use this for

the injection will need boosting every 5 years. if it's to start poachers have been going on for decades, but have mostly failed. bye. we tried to boys in the homestead, didn't work. a deal, honing doesn't work and nothing works. but this is something you're going to destroy. you're going to throw it away. and it bit defies people, you know who radio active, so we got to run. that's what we lumped. not everyone in the rhino willed supports the idea assigned has faced ethical hurdles, paused by critics of the method. it's not clear what would happen if someone comes to radioactive. despite all the criticism 20 live rhino is already passed as a project back, his hope the process can be replicated to save other spaces endangered by poaching, such as penguins and elephants. and with that you are up to date. i'll have more.

well, here's at the top of the hour coming up to the next, excuse me. if you can find a more updated ceramic lock on the w at dot com and have a good day, the

legal workers and call themselves the black best a neighbor away, it'd be olympic construction site. now they are fighting for their rights to obtain a single status. together was a training session prussia because they know it was to find out next on d, w traditional cultures. and you'll find maybe what role does culture play versus

modernization. and we're asking african cultures at risk of being erased in the quest for globalization africa was that tough to forget? it starts it. this is all they have told us. nothing else has been sold to us. okay . okay. chris, that's looking new to contributing to this. this is interesting, this 77 percent. the 1st payment is on the w. the king was like a stepping point to you know, i bought you into that warranty. once i finish it, now you have a certificate from crane, you can just go back to somewhere else, come and see more people than ever on the move the world wide in search of, of best in life. so why, but i want to go back tonight. yeah. like i don't have any reason. there's no reason that's nothing for me this. yeah, i believe something that is coming very,

very soon on. we know when the story in from i agree, reliable nice. her migraines, wherever they may be, the paris is often called the city of lights and the city of love this summer. it will also become the sports capital of the world. history, sorry, it's a bit cramped. me. these workers are planning to occupy one of the biggest olympics construction sites and bring work to a halt. since french authorities brought in a restrictive immigration law, they've been fighting to secure a legal status. union representative needs and they shall gives them advice and we'll join them for the strike thing worked on the all right,

once we're inside and he's off on the.
