5:03 pm
a time. there are functioning, a secret service is in high demand. it's how strongly election season, there's many, many public appearances from the president, his vice president and donald trump. so everything is in turmoil, and it's really no question if they can kind of manage this crisis, this out damaging the reputation of the secret service any further. indeed, security will be the most important in the weeks ahead and that will come back to you later in the show for some other u. s. news. thank you so much for that update or well donations and delegates support are flooding in to bolster cala harris as likely nomination as the democrats presidential candidates. the states marks in blue that you're about to see, show state delegations that have endorsed her bid for the white house. she needs a majority of about almost or $4000.00 delegates to be confirmed as the candidates at the democratic national convention in august. and according to
5:04 pm
a survey by the associated press, she has crossed that threshold. almost 2700 have pledged to back her, giving her a comfortable majority to her as took over president biden's campaign headquarters in delaware and receive her 1st endorsement from the president in his speech to campaign workers. since j biden abruptly entities election campaign, the vice president seemed energetic. he plays the president who was pulling in and speak of certain some crazy di sedation. i love jonesville, we really do. they truly are like family and we need to know you are still there. you're not going anywhere. i love you. after the most smooth passing, the ph thomas went off to have it public,
5:05 pm
an opponent leaning into her background as a public prosecutor. she said she'd taken own perpetrators of all kinds. creditors who are abused women fraudsters, who ripped off consumers, cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. so hear me when i say i know donald trump's type, the it was a me a day earlier, the president pod abandoned his big somebody election quickly giving his endorsement to have it. since then, the number of prominent democratic endorsements for the vice president has been growing longer by the hour in the list includes for my house speaker, nancy pelosi bill and hillary clinton and of widely anticipated arrival for the nomination, california governor,
5:06 pm
governor newsome. he was also among names floated as potential running nights encouraging doesn't michigan, governor gretchen with mountains and pennsylvania, governor judgeship pay the both states a critical to winning electrolyte to november. it's looking increasingly such and the terrace will be the democratic candidate that is only the fast title. so in the next $106.00 days, we have work to do. we have doors to knock on. we have people to talk to, we have phone calls to make and we have an election to in the vice president has allowed them to do list that includes choosing a venting mate and the building a campaign effective enough to defeat donald trump. so let's bring back in his pull in washington for more. i mean, it seems like couple of harris. they're pretty clear path to the nomination here. is this all done and dusted?
5:07 pm
yes, it sounds like a ride, save only the only took her leg less than 2 days really to secure the number of delegates. she needs to be the presidential candidate for the democratic party. it took her only hours really before she got like tens of, of millions and now it's like up to a $118.00 millions over all. that's what we read of funding. so yes, she's really absolutely, on the winning costs. unclear. i have to say the moods here in washington really changed dramatically in the democratic kind of field. you know, there was a lot of frustration that the democratic party was so focused on. there is a struggle so focused on biden's weaknesses, but now they think they can really focus on issues again. and as for now, come with a hair is really had a pretty good start. well, thank you so much for that. that is our washington bureau chief s paul. and we can bring you up to speed now with some other world headlines. at least 229 people have
5:08 pm
been killed in 2 lands, lives in southern ethiopia. the battle has arisen significantly over the past 24 hours as authorities continues to search for survivors in the mountainous region. officials that say women and children are among the casualties. the world health organization says it's extremely worried about a potential polio outbreak and gaza at warren to the traces of the virus have been detected in wastewater in the strip. and it's a dire sanitation situation there could allow it to spread quickly. polio attacks the central nervous system causing paralysis and death in extreme cases. using home mouse has signed a declaration invasion with rival palestinian group fata on ending a long running rift trying to describe it as a deal to real gaza together once the war ends. both auto and from us, the latter of which designated a terrorist group find the us and e you have made pledges of unity before only to
5:09 pm
return to discourse. georgia. i mean, the most convenient for israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu is in washington dc is 1st visit since the october 7th attacks. and this comes at a time when relations between his government and the bite and administration are under massive strain that's in yahoo has been resisting pressure from washington to agree a ceasefire with some us dw janelle, to milan. and that takes a look at how this visit could bring those tensions back out into the open since prime minister benjamin netanyahu and president joe biden last saw each other in september ties between the 2 countries have only become more intense. and when the israeli leader makes a speech to the us congress on wednesday, experts say he hopes this message would convince more than just the gather lawmakers. those 2 audiences in mind. one is the american audience, and he wants to build support for israel build support for israel and congress
5:10 pm
reinforce is really us ties is also thinking about domestic audience. so many israelis are upset without the worst gone. they're upset about the hostages. he wants to demonstrate that he has and destroyed us as rarely relations, as some of his political critics argue what he is much less interested in. that is what dividing whitehouse x concerns over israel's raffle. offensive in may prompted the us to stop certain arm shipments of israel. and the video netanyahu early is claiming that the white house was withholding even more support than it had made public put further strain on the relationship. but that the is really leader has also yet to express full support for a new westbrook cease fire hostage deals essentially blocking a path to peace. that's especially troubling the washington will humiliate biden, frankly, by showing up without having agreed to a cease fire deal. i think santa as a patient was that by the end of july,
5:11 pm
you know, with this war and it's 9 months that there would have been a cease fire that there would be a plan for what happens afterwards. this is not the right time. if he had accepted a ceasefire months ago and begun to reconstruction process in gaza, perhaps at home, this really opposition and also called for netanyahu to either analysis acceptance of the hostage deal in front of congress. or not go to washington at all. but my room and who's relative is still being held by hum austin garza so she'll be going to the us capital to try to keep the spotlight on the remaining hostages. rather than on politics. there are hostage families that are coming with him and he's going to talk about of uh, the deal we've been through. and all of those things are true and important for people to remember. i just feel like if he talks about those things without being committed to a deal, then he's doing
5:12 pm
a disservice. he's basically taking our pain and using it for game and not for our purposes, not for bringing back our loved ones. my a roman will be in congress to watch netanyahu, but more than a dozen democrat law makers say they'll show their opposition to israel's conduct, to the war and gaza by staying away to let's do some analysis from dw is middle east analyst, the shiny rows on his journey now in the studio, i saw on the outside of the a who has been waiting a long time for this invitation. has any. tell us a little bit about what you think we can expect from this trip to washington for. he said before, uh, during the you know, starting, is there any, it's going to be married and wary, conciliatory he comes and he wants to cement the bipartisan support, meaning both democratic and republican, to israel, especially in times like these israel and a war he wants to show the world, this unity, this uh, you know, connection with america despite what we've been hearing about, a lot of criticism between 5 and just administration. and it's, and you know,
5:13 pm
he wants to show things are still, you know, the bond is still very strong. this is when he talks to the americans, which i think i'm not very tune to this messages messaging right now. the american, you know, the public is far more focused on the political in or american seeking. but this is 11 place where he's heading and the other audience he is actually facing is in israel. you know, kissinger already famously said in the seventy's, isabel did not have a foreign policy, only has in their policy. so for nits now, it's always about railing his base and that to now is a constant campaigner. he always is drugs that you know election around the corner . he wants his base and the writing base and as well to be galvanized to be seen again as the protector of israel, a, you know, a leader known and loved in the world. so for him does the way he sees it as only what to gain right down despite the very tricky timing of this visit, you know, looking at the domestic politics that he is arriving to. i understand he's supposed to meet both biden and trump on this visit. can you tell us
5:14 pm
a little bit about the dynamic there and what we might expect the plan at least. i mean, if i didn't, wasn't, you know, we know that from back channels that you know, between now and just people kind of forced democrats into accepting them and welcoming them into washington. even before the recent events happened by didn't want it to distance himself. you wanted to focus ideally on his companion would, should have started by, you know, should have been tied gear heading not resigned, but now that he has resigned it. and the question is now, where do these relation stand between these do? there is no down. israel still very much need americans support his needs bought in, in the next months they need support if they want to tackle more issues connecting to your lawn, which is something i suspect that's in the i will also mentioned in the speech tomorrow. we've just seen israel attacking in the m and the other day, and none of this can happen without the american support and munition technical and intelligent support. so he still needs fight. and so that's on the one hand. on the other, of course this trump, you know, that to me, how can i let himself out, you know, give up on the idea that maybe he trump will be the next guy again in the white
5:15 pm
house, which was also his last visit to washington was in september 2020. when trump was still there, we still don't know exactly the details of his meeting. we know there's been a lot of bit of blood between these 2 knit trump was very much upset. defense now a congratulated bite and after bite and one and he hold some question. it's in the out. but i think the issue of israel as itself, the way it stands in the american public debate does not allow both sides to, you know, neither sides. democrats or republicans to drop, you know, to drop it and leaving it to me, you know, high and dry. i know bite is also very much pushing for, has been pushing for a hostage deal. and in fact, some of the families of the hostages are a company or nothing. yahoo, on this trip to the united states, you tell us a little bit about where we stand here and what we can expect in that regard. now just said he feels like the conditioning are ripening, and we are heading there. he feels that the is really military at pressure in the last months weeks, at least that was very strong. again, going to someplace if it is rarely military you've already been to. but inflicting great damage and, and he feels this works. he feels, this is
5:16 pm
a strategy that is bringing home us closer to compromise. of course, the families off the house to just feel differently. they feel that he is stalling, that he is not committed enough to making it happen. we hear a lot of people from the military and other defense of forces saying this is a time is a very narrow window of time. there is no doubt. this is a topic very close to president biden's heart. he will bring it into the congress and he will push that to the else to try and move forward with this. the to now strategy now is to stall and hopefully wait for her mazda, maybe make this deal kinda disappear. and as long as he seems that he is willing and eager, while he's still in washington, that plays in his favor. as i said, the dynamic has very much changed since bite and dropped out of the race. now, increasingly looking like it will become a harris, his vice president going into this. and you've said that, and then you all who is coming here with a message of unity. although i think many of the democratic party are worried, but that's not what those see. he explained that kind of dynamic for us,
5:17 pm
but i think it's very clear that the know if you ask them to know and his people, they would rather have trump in the white house, a would have her rather had him the whole time despite the immense support by that has shown to israel, despite the fact item declares and sees himself as a zion, a splinter, something camel of hers is definitely not seeing herself, as it's quite clear that this kind of leader of the bite and was that's the last of his generation. when it comes to the, to democratic party, dealing with camera, hers will be quite different for israel. and we've seen her already through the last month being very strict in her approach to israel. being very, very open about her criticism to the mens. lots of lives and the way israel has conducted itself and gaza gets sent to me. i need to brace for that. and if he's politically wise and also leave the door open for whoever it is becomes you know, to win in november this year. thank you so much as always for your analysis is really insightful. that's shiny was on us for us. it's, we're gonna move on to kenya now where police and anti government protesters have been clashing in the capital. nairobi demonstrators took to the streets,
5:18 pm
calling on supporters to march to the cities international airport. at least 50 people have been killed and hundreds injured and protest sparked by the government trying to bring in new taxation rules 5 weeks ago. the government has drops the plan but in the meantime, but the protests, so continuing and dw is edith kamani met with demons graders to find out why they are not stopping their protests. george bowie is just in time for the action. the 24 year old has attended every anti government purchased in a ruby for the last 5 weeks and is still going for him. this is 1st and i was exposed to injustices i to a very early age. i am used to seeing. i was used to see dead bodies our way back from my childhood, and even now growing up to become or young are dogs in this country and which
5:19 pm
missing the amount of force. excessive force being used by the law enforcement officers. it's a part of the county has commission on human rights says at least 50 people have been killed seen support to started despite the risk attending the demonstrations poses boy every tense, every week on the tad and focused, i know it's easy to be abducted or it's easy to go missing. so i just find my group of people. we mobilize also, and we continue being on the streets up until the big government listens to our voices. shortly after our interview with targeted by the police. we were not too far from here about 50 meters where somebody had been injured and police noticing that a crowd was forming low, at least for canisters of to i guess i to us all around us. you can see young
5:20 pm
people who are curious, who might be wanting to participate in the protest, but unable to because of the sheer force that police are using. now young people have got that he up to date, to say, to the government that despite the concessions president, to, to made these do, once more we need to implement. we'd have tense. what's the point, the school by that a complete, we have seen the governments when the prison was competing, so that you could look for that you would. but if not, you see that it's not well, it's one of the seats that you it's by the time you walk, this has been piling frustration for a long time. so are you here today? i guess because this particular government has been defend on the camel's back and we're just tired of it. we've gone to whole like this for how long, how long. so we need the solution to all these boy under protest. as out today, see, they will keep the pressure on the state until their demands for change are meant to bangladesh. now where there have been days of violence classes between police and students, protesting a government job, quote, a system or than
5:21 pm
a 100 people have been killed and the government has ordered a curfew in deployed a military forces. now, a torch. evaluate investigation has revealed that vehicles with the u. n. markings have been deployed in the crack down. united nations has called the violence against sooner, protest was shocking and unacceptable. and this for the edge monitored by d w. 's investigations unit clearly shows you and markings on armour, armour, to personnel vehicles that are being used against the demonstrations. now these pictures show similar vehicles with a regular bangladesh army markings. investigation comes after rights groups, question, bangladesh as involvement, and a number of peace missions. a dw pro in may showed that bangladesh had deployed officers implicated in cases of torture and killings. as un peacekeepers, i am very pleased to welcome america to show from dw is investigative unit
5:22 pm
who recently revealed how suspected human rights abuses from bangladesh were deployed on those un piece missions. let's start with this investigation into the insignia on these vehicles. i'm just to be clear, it doesn't seem like these are actually vehicles that have been sent by the un to bangladesh. right? no, not at all. and that's might be the problem to understand how the vehicles within seeking out the yan could add up there. in the midst of the protest, we have to understand that bangladesh as a to contribute to come see not only contributes troops, but also equipment to the un. so the best is the 3rd biggest contribution is 2 grand peace emissions. and so they have a lot of these sort of physicals with un cigna in the stock actually when we went there and the $22.00 suits and it's a film in bangladesh for our latest investigation. we saw a lot of the sort of, he goes with you and, and seeing you on the u. n. training for out in bangladesh,
5:23 pm
close to the capital that com. it's pretty remarkable to see these vehicles on the streets of da hope with the banquet ash military. has there been reaction from the united nations uh to this? and for the yeah, and it's obviously a huge issue that these vehicles with the u. n. signa wait, in the midst of a brutal crack down on demonstrates us which left many, many young people at that right. and the, in the end, a briefing yesterday, the un spokes person that made it very clear that and the forces the un forces integrated signature couldn't only be used in monday that you had piece missions that for the had to say to our colleagues on the ground in bangladesh and seeing reports of a disturbing reports of un marked vehicles that may have been used during the the developments we've seen in bangladesh over the last few days. but it's
5:24 pm
important for us to stress that un croup and police contributing countries or to use un in cigna and equipment marked with this and signal only when they are performing mandated tests. as part of a un peacekeeping or un political mission. and within the context of the deployment of any un mission says the un is alerted. and this comes to a time where the contribution of bangladesh to you had peacekeeping missions is under a huge criticism. especially human rights groups are demanding to exclude bangladesh from you and visions because of the bad human rights track record. do you think there could be any consequences here for bangladesh coming out of this? i mean, that's definitely something human rights groups would, would help for. right. but in the, in the last 10 years, uh, the un peacekeeping has to be very cautious to openly criticize
5:25 pm
a bangladesh. i mean, they are the 3rd biggest true contribution. and we still have the same off to our investigation, which we're fields that members of the special unit who it, which isn't responsible for should human rights violations inside of bangladesh were awarded with these lucrative you had peace missions, especially to a deputy directors of the same as an intelligence unit off and who runs a huge network of tort yourselves. so after our investigation was published to and said yeah, they would investigate the matter. but until until now nothing has happened. so i think the un is in a dilemma because they don't want to criticize a bundle dish openly because they are huge contributions to the truth. and they as sources tell us how often, like i said, they would pull back all their troops if,
5:26 pm
if the un starts criticize them to them too much a, definitely a pull, a difficult political situation there. well, thank you so much for reporting on this. that is indeed of these because i shall go very much appreciate your insights. here in the studio snell. just before we go, we're going to turn to some good news coming out of cambodia. the 1st black marshall turtle hatched in captivity is offering hope for an end danger reptile. this little turtle hatched in late may after its parents were rescued from illegal traders. the black marsh turtle is a fresh water reptile, native to southeast asia are right now. this little one, just 6 centimeters long way around 40 grams. it is being nurtured by conservationist, until it's big enough to be released back into the wild. and what is your needs update at this hour it? stay tuned for eco africa coming up after a short break with
