to secure the service attack. donald trump seeming to relish the clash of personalities with the man. she'll probably face on the election day before i was elected vice president before i was like the united states senator, i was elected attorney general of the state of california, and i was a court room prosecutor before them. and in those roles, i took on perpetrators of all kinds creditors, who abused women, fraudsters, ripped off consumers. cheaters who broke the rules for their own game. so hear me when i say that. i know donald trump's try. republican lawmakers took aim at harris,

highlighting the economic disruptions from the cove at 19 pandemic and russia's invasion of ukraine, which came during biden's tenure. remember, both of the persons running for president now have a record. they have both served in an administration here in the last, within the last several years. so you can compare how you and your family were doing on the 1st drop of ministration and how you and your family are doing now. nobody said there was a trump himself, did not mention harris on tuesday instead discussing last week's attempt on his life in a fox news interview together with his running make j. d. them. but harris will shortly be back in the spotlight on wednesday. that's when job i didn't. now back in washington, after ending his coven, self isolation is due to address the nation on his decision to drop out of the race in favor of his vice president. well here in germany, chancellor or left shots has said it's very possible that us vice president cala

harris will win the american presidential election. speaking to reporters in berlin, he said he has met here several times and believes her to be a competent and experienced politician. he made the comments in his annual summer press conference and our political correspondent, anya color was at that press conference. and yet, how has his entire back and forth in the us over the past couple of weeks been viewed by the german government, germany, of course a key ally of the us here in europe to the representatives of the german government. uh well, very careful in the last days how to um, how to um, how to voice uh the view also uh the offer drove by not running again as president and the colleagues sent this press conference here did

their very best to tease on something substantial from all of charles, but he as well, was very careful. he stated that he met camelot harris several times that she knows exactly what she is going to do. that he things on his, she would be a very approval next. um i'm president um in the context with this uh, u. s. election, it is very important for the german government and will actually stress this several times as well. uh, how the transatlantic relations will go on. and this will be, would be much easier when the president comes out here is because if it's in this question is uh, the contribution to the nato, as well as support for ukraine and former president. donald trump is very critical of the support for ukraine. but this is a substantial question for the europeans. yeah,

and it wasn't all international politics at this press conference though. it shows also addressed, you know, accusations, a accusations of internal divisions in the governing coalition here in germany, even among his own party, the social democrats. he also announced that he wants to run again and next year's general election as chancellor here in germany. does that mean that he will that was right at the beginning of the press conference and it was his on so to arrive a c t question on a colleague who linked his candidacy to the accident of joe biden. and his announcement not to run again. uh, so transfer. charlotte said, uh, thank you very much for this very kind question. and he said uh that, uh, his party stands as united as never before. and of course he will run as president. but it is true that his party and his whole whole coalition is in

a particularly long rough patch. there will be one 3rd of the members of his own party. the social democrats think that he's the right person for the job . and his party comes out in uh, in election surveys for east germany with single digit resolves. so that is not very reassuring, but charlotte said he will turn the mood around uh for the uh before the next, the late before the next election next year. and he said people will see you as he and his government took the right measures of the right decisions and a very uncertain and dangerous times. let's do the political correspondent and yeah, cool, thank you so much. i of the world health organization says it is extremely worried about a potential polio outbreak in gaza in warren that teresa is of the virus have been
