is to be thrown him, he held what is likely to be his last major speech as us president preparing to leave the political stage after half a century of public service. he ceremoniously pass the torch to the next generation, accompanied by standing ovations and chance of we love joe last night wasn't just the celebration of joe barton's achievements. it was also maybe mostly a celebration of his decision to stand down and pay the way for his b p to make history. nicole for ocean berlin and this is the day the serve as your president. i love the job. i love my talk to me more and then november we will come together and declare with one boys as one people we are

moving forward together we put a. * crap, in the highest, hardest way of feeling toward the also on the day anthony blanket on his diplomatic push for a ceasefire deal between israel and a mouse. after talks in israel, the us secretary of state takes the latest proposals to egypt and guitar. these are still complex issues and they're going to require hard decisions by the leaders. ultimately, it comes down to those decisions. but there is, i think, a real sense of urgency here across the region on the need to get this over the finish line. welcome to the day, it was

a bitter sweet night for joe biden, at the democratic national convention in chicago. there he was holding an emotional speech about the dangers to democracy, about his record as achievements, as vision for the country that were standing ovations and shares. but contrary to what just one month ago, he had envisioned for at this moment his speech and that with an endorsement for his vice president, pamela harris. instead of coming to the convention to formerly clinch the nomination to run for a 2nd term, he came to seal his fates as a one term president. he never wanted to be it was a rock styles. welcome. as coma, iris appeared on stage in chicago. but the rest of the week is about fighting for the future. monday night was also about remembering the past.

and i want to kick this off by itself. reading are incredible. president joe biden . h wasn't the speech by didn't had planned to give which it was one that found receptive and living audience. the president clearly emotional, reflected on the legacy and the tax, donald trump. but ultimately was a message of hope and well marketing the end of biden's half a century and politics are ready for free for democracy and. 6 we're ready to work on the wires in general, the

when i gave my best for 50 years. like many of you are getting my heart and soul organization. and i've been blessed 1000000 times return the support of the american people. the convention will see a role called a democratic grandees addressing the american people on monday night was the time of the last woman to face donald trump. this and our time america. this is when we when we the outside the convention center, it was more cons donation than celebration of thousands of pro palestinian

demonstrates as well as the criticism of the policy. and this responds to gaza. the democrats and now looking ahead to those they speech by the presidential hopefuls, as joe biden passes on the leadership of the party and finally prepared to exit the political stage for more on bite and then the bmc. let's check in with david wydell. he covers politics for the news website. 74 different. good to see. let's start with joe by this was supposed to be his convention. now. he was basically the opening act. how difficult is all of this for him? he is talked a little bit about we don't know how big one he is been in his comments. he did refer to the decision in a few remarks that weren't and they prepared speech me talked about how these 2

goals are run for for present. it again, is family talked about the self list self since listen. s of the decision. uh and of the whole address around him has turned into an effort to a light come on harris and makes the by the legacy one of being the president who took the charge from brock obama impacted to the 1st, the more president that would be a powerful legacy, there are not many one term presidents who have something like that and in the records you also solved the rest of the 1st night. i think you'll see this other points the week and argument by democrats. and this has been the most significant president, one term president in american history almost to almost over appraising him. but it's their convention that allows to do that the end. this was part of the effort to get them out to you and say, you have done enough in, in for years to have a place in history. you will lose that place in history. if you're running lose, we think you're going to lose. they seem to you like someone ready and willing to pass the torch, though, as well. i'm from delaware,

who was my sen when i was growing up. i. i think he has more, more, really last night and he was a month ago. it took a long time to pride him off this and get that by the advisors were who were telling him that he's had to pass victory out. i would say out of the room, get him to get showed him the data that showed he couldn't win. and so i do think it from the way the way he talked about it, he was self rationalizing the decision. no, it wasn't really, really ready to go. and if you know how the patients, number politicians, even ones who lose landslide watching, making the decisions they could have made, it would reverse it by who knows that i had the pulled himself together for the 1st debate or would have a different conversation. the whole campaign plan was to do well enough in the june to be that the conversation, the conversation about his age would diminish, would disappear. people would look at him the way they look him in 2020. and he and he blew it. he had the bad left of me for the end of his campaign, so he's very aware of this. this is his campaign. but he has moved to, to

a new stance of getting in behind the scenes and also trying to achieve things with less her media spotlight that would help the vice president harris helped him and help her the hosp, the hospital negotiations. you saw right after you got the races, but for example, yeah, there was a huge crowd in chicago, but i want to talk about one person in particular, former house speaker, nancy pelosi. she stood in the 1st row chanting. we love joe. thank you joe. she posted it on x even. she wasn't quarterly. instrumental in pushing, binding to withdraw. where does their relationship stand? it is 10. suppose we you hear from democrats is, is to be direct. they don't care. you go by moves, retiring. nancy pelosi is in for this terms. you get run again, but she's in her mid eighties, and this is probably also heard. i think i'm more dignified and final act for probably her final act to you. also, even democrats is a conversation about the respect shown if you're buying or what it is forced out of

the race. they do not mind when donald trump is talking about that and not talking about anything that they think might heard vice president parents, she's been in the race for nearly a month when the trump campaign has not found very effective lines of attack. i think it's something that we're promising some of their putting money behind. if you look at their revising, it's often about immigration crime. but the issues is weakest on just the present data. people were laid out of prison and committed crimes. they blamed harris for, but when they talk about this, this race, they, they, they will carp about by being disrespected how it was a 2. they were democrats, banking, but i think this is backed up when i've been out of the trial recently. is the voters don't care? they really didn't like the idea of job. i'd run a again. yeah. when he left here, he was running the present against prompt them pretty quickly. she made this argument that whichever party was the 1st to jump. it's 80 uh items marian domini would, would win the election and he was being right. they which he said that,

but that is what i heard from a lot of people. they just, they did not want to buy me from remax and they're not tied up. i'm not thinking who do i blame, provided not being on the ballot. they're happy. this happened. it is a lottery victory for a lot of folders that they don't have to think about, joe biden anymore. even say whatever and last time does david weikel of central for great speaking to you. thank you so much for your time. thank you. now is all the spacious last night hillary clinton? this was undoubtedly one of the highlights. clinton spoke of the proverbial glass ceiling that women have to contend with when seeking to occupy positions of power, a ceiling that is still very much in place in the white house. in 2016 clinton herself ran to break through that barrier but lost the election to donald trump. let's take a lesson together. we put a lot of crap in the highest part as well as ceiling.

and tonight, tonight, so close to breaking through once and for all i want to tell you what i see through all those cracks and why it matters for each and every one of us or what do i see? i see freedom. i say the freedom to make our own decisions about our health, our lives, our love, our families, the freedom to. 2 with dignity and prosper to worship, as we choose or not to speak our minds freely. and honestly, i see freedom from fear and intimidation from violence and injustice from chaos and corruption. i see the freedom to look our children in the eye and say,

in america, you can go as far as your hard work and talent will take you and mean it. and you know what? i'm the other side of that last feeling is carmella harris. raising your hand and taking the oath of office as our party the. let's take a closer look at all of that with the delay is janelle dom alone, who is advocate mentioned in chicago right now. to note, and clinton was one of the most prominent speakers on the 1st night at the convention entry. deliver the resoundingly endorsement of tomlin harris. what is their relationship as well? nicole, it's quite well established that harris and clinton really develop close ties in the last years they've developed a sort of mentor mentee relationship. the fact of the matter is that these are to

women who have risen to the very top of the party. that is a very small club indeed. so clinton really emerging as one of our most ardent supporters. and if you need any evidence of that, one should only look to just how quickly the clinton's endorse, kyle bla, harris warranty through her hat in the ring for the presidential race they endorsed are practically out of the gate. now there is sub reporting to suggest that hillary clinton was not, in fact in favor of pushing joe biden off of the top of the democratic presidential ticket. but if that were to come to pass, then she really was of the mind that campbell of harris should be the one to take her place. and we know for a fact that is in fact what did come to a pounds. now for her part one can only imagine and a whole bunch of clinton wants to see. trump defeated, the thing that she did not manage to do and bonus points of probably as well. if the person who manages to do that is camera harris, herself

a woman. yeah. harris. so election would be as oregon many ways she would be the 1st one president, the 1st woman of color president. but that doesn't seem to be something she's leaning into. as indeed well to say that identity doesn't play a role in this race, so it would not be accurate. as you pointed out, she is a woman and she is a black woman. she's an indian american woman, and that makes it historic. but really, that isn't something that she hasn't been leading to leading into at all. her task really here seems to be building as broad a coalition of possible aiming for inc. lucidity, a really big tent. now the way that she's been doing that is that she's been emphasizing her middle class routes. she's been emphasizing her ability to relate to working life. and that that is a tense that does not get much bigger. so she's pretty much left adult emphasizing of her identity to others. when hillary clinton spoke about her on that stage

behind the, as he said, she did refer to gender. she did refer to the highest and heart as a glass ceilings her vice presidential pick. got tim walls and makes a point of referring to her as madame president. so you really do see that she's left out to the people around her. but i think what's interesting to note here is also how many identity groups, so have organized themselves around to campbell, that harris, who have latinos, were harris, caribbean, americans for harris, filipino americans for hours and even some categories that you might not necessarily find on defense as for like cali to use for harris or comics for an hours. but i will say that there are a lot of these groups. so in that, in that respect to this idea of the targeting as a big a group as possible as big as audience as possible, seems to be working out for harris at least so far. all right, so in know, straight of identity politics to be expected from the here as wells can. but we're seeing a whole different story on the republican side are and we indeed they

have made the identity a full part of the attack. so we remember like just from a few days ago when donald trump was interviewed on the stage of the national association black journalist conference. and he made these comments about how a couple of harris has always emphasized her indian american this. so now all of a sudden and she's not, she's coming out as a block of use, or of course are quite racist comments. and i also have to say that i've spoken to quite a few was a prominent indian americans are from the republican side and they have made the opposite point that they feel god's account of the harris was always emphasized or blackness. and all of a sudden she's coming out as indian american. so really this is something that they have chosen uh, chosen to target, come with a higher self. that's pretty much us run these attacks off pointing to just how donald trump's a it is campaign,

is to be as divisive as possible. not really giving much air to what he has been saying about our identity. we'll have to leave it there though. is janelle do alone? thank you so much for your coverage. in the middle east, you is secretary of state and to be blank and his keeping off his porch for a ceasefire deal between israel and tomas. but serious obstacles remain on tuesday, blinking hill talks in egypt and propose truth before traveling to guitar. both countries along with the us or acting as mediators on monday, blinking toll journalists in tel aviv that israel had accepted what he called a bridging proposal. designed to address the differences between the 2 sides, but home off the militant group that committed the october 7th terror attacks says that proposal goes against what it's had previously agreed. a free laura blumenfeld . she's a best selling author and middle east analyst and johns hopkins university. laura, welcome back to the day you served in the us state department as senior policy

advisor for the peace process in the middle east. what would be your advice for anthony blinking today as he's in the region, trying to brokers these fire deal as well? i would say there on the cease fires, 3 cheese for success. number one, timing, number 2, trust and number 3, pos and the ability to get tough. um, 1st of all, with the timing, i mean i was, i happened to be in secretary carrie's office in 2014 during, during a gaza or when the is really tags just rolled over the border into gaza. and his 1st instinct secretary carrie was let's go for a cease fire. the truth was then and perhaps now is that neither side was ready for that. and as much as we pushed and tried. not only was israel not quite ready to lay down their arms, but egypt as well that was helping broker in 2014, you know, felt like that there needed to be a little bit more of fighting before we could reach that cease fire. so number one, timing, and the 2nd thing is trust. a secretary kissinger said one time that trust is the

currency of diplomacy. there's very little trust right now. we're seeing actually degradation of that. unfortunately, we're going in the wrong direction. her mouse today said that they are, you know, increasingly suspicious of the united states that america is citing too much on the as really side. so unfortunately that's, that's not looking good. the 3rd thing is talking ability to sort of get tough. um, depending on you know, which party is a recalcitrant one? madeline albright a former secretary of state, was very good about being tough in terms of keeping the negotiations, quiet and private. i think one of the problems we're seeing today is it's all being played out in public and with all the leaks and the media that makes it very, very hard for the negotiators and the parties to make concessions and save face 6 year old. right. used to serve in the press when they would ask her about negotiations with syria and israel. she would say mushrooms and what she meant by mushrooms was that negotiations, especially when it comes to treaties,

are just like mushrooms, they do better in the dark. me. it's from what we know and, and from what you're saying and seems like we know a lot as what is being talked about there. it does seem like it's one step forward and one back when israel is on board, how mazda is not, and vice versa. is there really so, or is there progress being made that maybe isn't being conveyed as such? well, there is progress. the problem is the last few percentages are yards if you want to use the football analogy that the americans have been using are always the hardest, right? that's always the final details, sometimes are the stickiest, and they can actually stick so hard that it blows up a deal again. that happened to us in 2014. we hit a kind of detail about a prisoner release actually, and decided couldn't agree on it. and then we were, you know, the whole thing unraveled, and few months later with there was a war, i think, right now what we're seeing is

a kind of diplomatic holding pattern. you know, we're circling, uh, we're gonna run out of fuel mazda is accusing the americans of, of playing for time. and, and the question is, can we land the deal before the really big problem comes about, which is iran and has vala, our place to retaliate against israel, which hopefully in the best case scenario will motivate, besides and to compromise rather than lead to a, you know, regional conflagration, which is our number one priority from the beginning of this, you know, the terrible 10 months for the united states. number one priority has been avoiding regional escalation. and i'm glad you mentioned are on because there's a lot to unpack. here is, these fire was billed by many as a way of keeping tire on and bay when it comes to avenging the killing of from us political chief uninstalled. but in a rain and foreign minister of foreign ministry spokesman gave an interesting statement in that regard. let's quickly listen and, and then go back to you are the most heavy i think issue of the gaza ceasefire has

nothing to do with iran's legitimate and legal right to punish the aggressor and will not relate directly to it may be quite a bit on board that we are not looking for an intensification of in security in the region, but all we support efforts with good intentions regarding the 6 fire hall or what are you making that statement as well? i think it's important for you, ryan, to put that statement forward because the west is telling them to stand down, but they still have a need to say phase. iraq is playing a long game here. they're absolutely right. when they say one thing isn't connected to the other, i mean there's a clock in palestine square into hey ron, which is ticking down backward. it's a doomsday clock for israel. that by 24 d e ronald, eliminate the state of the state of israel. so you have to understand in the larger context to what their goals are. it's also important to understand the weapons of

the united states has poised whether it's at e. ron's proxies or whether it's at, you know, the regime itself, whether it's the supreme leader is the gun pointed at his head, or is that, is that their process? i think that could make a big difference if they understood whether the american fire power that they're rushing to the region, whether it's the battleships or the fighter jets, is that even to the ron? what is the us the wrong policy here? i think that there's been a lot of discussion of that. is it tough enough? is it too tough? you know, we're, we're, we're in the middle of a presidential race. so it's kind of a hard time to start debating foreign policy and acting on it. but i think that really goes to the core of the issue here. you know, we're in the united states with the rod and that's what natania who was arguing for when he spoken front of congress several weeks ago. he said to the american people and congress are fight. is your fight? the question is, is it really? yeah. and i want to pick up on something that and to me blank and said when he arrived in israel on monday he said this was the best. and perhaps the last chance

to get a deal over the line. what happens if that doesn't happen as well? i think it was very interesting. i thank you for cutting that because he was hedging. right? he said may be the best. and perhaps the last israel, the prime minister, yitzhak, shamir said, years ago, never give yourself and ultimatum because your box yourself and right americans are always the optimists. um and so there is, there will be another time and another time, the reason why this is very different though, again, is because nothing quite focuses the mind like a gun to your head. and israel truly does have a gun to its head right now. you know, with this potentials, twin assassinations that they, that they conduct in the past few weeks with the potential retaliation for that. both coming from the north and from the east, from iran. so it is a little bit different. the stakes are much higher and, and sometimes when the stakes are so high, you know, you can say it's too big to fail. this diplomacy watch this guy is, is what i would say. the lights are going down,

the sun is setting over the middle east. now, watch the sky, not only for whether they'll be rockets, it increased drunk strikes, but also for the aircraft. i mean, for the 1st time since october fly, due by the m or as airline is grounding their aircraft at night. that does give me some concern. as laura blumenfeld author and middle east analysts, thank you so much for all this fascinating insights. always great speaking too. great to be here. thank you. unless or time, but make sure to stay informed. stay engaged and stay in touch. you can fall our team on social media or handle there is at the w news. if it's the latest headlines in analysis you're looking for. there is of course, always our website, www dot com for now from the entire team here on the day. thank you so much for spending part of your day with us by the
