there as well. but generation moved and optimism for this moment. it's a moment to when combat harris is going to step forward, really for the biggest moments of her time in front of the american public should be presenting ourselves to many americans for the very 1st time. they know her as vice president over the last 4 years, but that's a relatively small compact fluoride division. sometimes it's, it's a quiet position. sometimes she has played some background role in us politics, but she's not for, you know, to most americans. so this is going to be her moment to break out, so to speak, and show herself off to us public support. everything has been building up to this moment, celebrities, other politicians, speaking for her in a sense. now her own words about the come out. what can we expect her to say? yeah, this is her mom. she's going to frame. i think her personal story, 1st and foremost to the american public. she's going to highlights her middle class routes. i think she's go also going to really bring across to the american public

that she was. she comes from this middle class background as, as, as she worked as a prosecutor in san francisco and kind of get for ourselves, of the kind of the best peals. as we know too many, many americans has gone to the american story and she will be many and us on that very heavily. in terms of policy. i think we have the little hint of its over the last week or so where she's been talking love about the cost of living in the united states. she's been talking about bread and butter issues such as things as groceries. these are things that the car kind of says for a part from president joe biden, i think, and she will be bringing this to the, to the, for, i think a lot to nice. all right, that will be an interesting speech. interesting. see how she pulls back from vitamin? it's what extent and we'll be covering that as it comes cormick walsh here in studio. thank you very much. meanwhile, pro palestinian demonstrators upstage of protest outside chicago's united center.

on the last night of the democratic national convention, demonstrators including some party delegates call for a pro palestinian representative to be allowed to address the convention. they say convention organizers rejected their earlier request. the demonstrators have been calling for a cease fire and gaza. n for an arm's and bar go on is real. the dw 4 stuff in simon's is asked the demonstrations outside of the convention center in chicago stuff and welcome tell us more about the demands of the protesters. well, the demand is that the us will immediately stop supporting user on is war effort and goes off. meaning no more ammunition, more a guns deliveries money for the i d f. the certainly defense forces and for israel in that sense. however those protesters here, they feel not hurt by the democratic national convention. and it's just about a half a mile away from here. they still feel that now we're,

it's between what they stand for, what they want, and what's actually happened in the united center where the democratic national convention is happening. however, this last protest here is the grand finale for the protest is for the organization c, $250.00 plus organizations combined in one coalition. there of course, not all here, but they're hoping for a massive show of people. yesterday there was a protest the day before there was one the 1st day of the commercial was one. it was all about, let's say from the 1002000 people. now they want to go to $5.00 to $10000.00 people is going to happen. we will see stuff and we know that over the past 4 days, democrats have been trying to send out a message of unity. they've been trying to show that there is incredible support for cala harris. how dangerous could this descent in, in the party, over the issue of israel? how dangerous could it be in the coming months of this campaign?

well, be, oh, is there a gas or war is a big issue? it's a, it's a foreign policy issue. yes. and this convention here is focusing on domestic issues for normal, predominantly bought. it is a problem for the buy ministration. who is working at oh is that is working on that on a ceasefire. it is therefore a problem for kamala harris. it is a problem the because those people here, even if it's just a few 1000, represent a much larger group of people who are not inclined to vote for joe biden. them and come a lot, harris know why? because they think and they say the terrorist campaign is not taking them serious at all and doesn't hear them. so caroline harris and i think i'm paying has to prove that they're actually hurt. number one, number 2. the problem is that as long as substantially nothing happens in the view of those people, they will not make their bark on develop pole for kamala harris. and that can be

a problem because everybody, every experts, every pulled for tells you, it's going to be a nail biter at the poll to november. it's about a few 1000, maybe 800000 votes and maybe less and even what can decide which can decide this race. those people are going to be critical for that stuff on simon's covering those protests outside the democratic national convention in chicago. thank you. and shifting gears now from the us to europe's top story right now, you're training present for a lot of mental lensky has made his 1st visit along the border with russia. since you trans military launched its assault into russia's cursed region, zalinski met with military commanders. he said ukraine has no plans to occupy the area in the long term, but the that he wants to create a buffer zone to block the tax on ukraine. sobinski did not cross the border, and the russia dw, corresponding economy has been imbedded with ukrainian troops during their

offensive in the cursed region. you company them as they headed for the town of sewage. i just be on the border with russia. will you create a setting up a military command post, as the windows of the grain, you know, my personal carrier crop, totally unlimited view, empty streets. in the case of sam showing in the distance, you could be somewhere along different lines and ukraine. but this is russia, ukraine control which means the. ready routes were not able to in freely. now that is pretty much the waiting to get in. that's get some idea of what's going on there. we see part of the story. no one knows how many russian civilians were left behind when ukrainian forces across the border. locals told us towns original thirty's, simply guarding that cause and fled. those remaining have had no running water, no power. and crucially,

no phone signal for 2 weeks now. cut off from use and their families and the rest of russia. compared to many places in east and ukraine, it seems comparatively quiet. the ukrainian soldiers accompanying us, or on edge we were just trying talk to some locals here in subject. and they was a big shot from all ukraine troops to us. they have seen russians all the drawing up in the sky above, which would normally get coordinates for tillery or the strikes that could potentially be coming this way. licksey demetrius keeps key, is the spokesperson for the newly created ukrainian ministry. come on in coast region. he says he never expected to be here. unlike russia, he says, ukraine has no plans tonics territory. i'm just because it should say that we don't want to keep this land. we don't need it to them. good. we've had to do this to sure. and to me that they're vulnerable as well, but, and so that they're not all powerful when someone who is

the things leaders want the world and with new russians to see images like this, they want ordinary russians to put pressure on vladimir putin to move troops away from the front lines in the east of ukraine to defend russian. so a hit and coast. and now it seems that they're not doing that. they're not moving those institutes away from dumbass. but hope i'm going to ukraine. soup, serious along with this goes on, and the more recent after they take that eventually for us it will be forced to drill down exclusively. we're going to see somebody locals. we are hiding in a cellar nearby, the streets are empty. basically you can hit off generators, existence, there's still no power here and very occasionally, some ukrainian motor transport it's mainly the elderly and those looking off to sick friends and relatives who stay behind the people we meet. stay close to the basement when they sleep for safety. no one offered me a chance to evacuate. some people got out on their own in their cars or you know to

who i live alone. busy my daughter lives far away. i had no way of getting out via mobile cell is the thing i was looking after an elderly friend. she was sick before. i couldn't just leave her helper black. she died yesterday and we buried her today. many have been left homeless by the continuing to refer between ukrainian forces here in pseudo russian forces nearby my house was bomb to them. there's only a crate or left. i was here when it happened yesterday on me. this is a house has destroyed this been going to do my best to setting up humanitarian car doors to allow these people to reach areas under russian government control. the sofa is no more than talk is 3 of the things i came to work and sewage of that day

. we didn't understand what was happening since i've been here ever since. my parents are back in the village. they're 84 and 83 years old. i don't know what's happened to them and they don't know what's happened to me and then something we weren't expecting to see the screen. you know, we spoke person gets out his laptop. so these russian civilians, video from butcher the town a key of what russian troops or 2 is of carrying out what crimes. when they control the area, local seam exhausted, barely able to take anything in the moment. the review was more about how ukrainian soldiers, russian, so will a feeling that does about russians views on the war. some ukrainian soldiers seem to think this, they can show ordinary russians what was done in the name and ukraine. and perhaps those russians will question vitamin pollution story of what he calls the special military operation in ukraine. we don't have time to say anymore. we're told this time to leave the kindly with that report, divers have recovered the bodies of 5 people from the wreck of

a luxury yacht that sank off the coast of sicily. this week. one of the victims was british tech tycoon mike lynch. divers are still searching for his 18 year old daughter, who is also missing and presumed dead. a body recovered from some 50 meters below the waves. british businessman mike lynch was one of 22 people on board, the yacht, and one of 6 people who were missing. he had reportedly invited guests on board. the basie and his family is 56 meter you ought to celebrate his recent acquittal in a massive fraud case in the us. the c. c t. v footage from the show shows the ships lights disappearing into darkness as a violent storm at the hall. but the early hours of monday morning, 15 on board, escaped in a life boat, including the captain of the skipper of a boat mowed alongside the basie and found the survivors. he said the vessel had
