9:00 am
[000:00:00;00] news you're watching the, the news coming to live from berlin. pamela harris, a formerly accept the democratic parties. presidential nomination the great chapter in the most extraordinary story. we will take a look at the biggest speech of the vice president's career. and what it says about for agenda, also a head on the program, a historic visit,
9:01 am
prime minister and render emoji arise in cuba in the 1st trip to modern ukraine by an indian leader. body is set to meet president polanski. and to do the news is with ukrainian forces inside russia, our correspondence finds a handful of civilians left behind without power running water for phone signal. the hello, i'm clear. richardson, thank you so much for joining us. on the last day of the democratic national convention, comma harris has a formally accepted her parties. nomination for president of the united states, addressing delegates on the final lights of before day event. in chicago, vice president harris sketched out vision for the future. one that would offer unity and opportunity to promise, but if elected, she would be
9:02 am
a president for all americans. harris accepted the parties nomination opposed just over a month after joe biden announced he would drop out of the race on behalf of americans like the people. i grew up with people who work hard chase their dreams and look out for one another. on behalf of everyone whose story could only be written in the greatest nation on earth. i accept your nomination. the deed of these reporter apollo fully aliya is here with me in the studio for more insights into the democratic national convention. pablo, that's a rap. there's a lot of party fan fair there, but what did we actually learn about harris as a candidate about what her policies might be if she becomes an ex presidents? well she definitely, it was
9:03 am
a very wide ranging speech as expected. it was positive, it was very much about moving america forward. she mentioned the word which i think we're gonna talk about quite a bit. read this at this top this morning, which is opportunity. she touched on foreign policy, which will go into a little bit more detail. it was a speech very much geared towards the middle class. she also did not hold back in her criticism of donald trump. she warned americans of what could happen to the country if he were voted back in at, in november. and, you know, it was very key for me. what she said in that she called it a precious leading opportunity to move past the bitterness, cynicism and divisive bottles of the past. so this was a big part of this, of this speech that you gave. and it was also an opportunity for her to introduce yourself in many respects, the american voter with regards to her as a leader. there was a lot of criticism from republicans that you maybe didn't have it in her to be the
9:04 am
leader of the united states. from decisions that she has made as vice president, have some a range of topics in different areas. but she stood firm and she stood up to add those critics. yeah. as long as presidency is in some ways a known entity. and yet there's still so much more that we can take away just from the speech, looking ahead to what we might see from her as presidency. you mentioned to already she spoke a lot about a opportunity economy that really stuck out to me um something but she says will build up the middle class. what. what can you tell us about that? right, well we seen some areas of ad policy, which some economists have actually called quite popular, isn't that for us here in perhaps a european countries or may not be seen as popular as well. just give you a couple of those. and she reiterated those again, which was and that should start with the mortgage of systems assistance, for example, for 1st time buyers. as she spoke about tax credits, we spoke about and basically reducing costs for at the middle class. and also that
9:05 am
there were be reduction in taxes very much for the middle class to make. these are big concerns for american voters because inflation has been quite high, their concerns as well about interest rates. so the economy is the top topic, and polls suggest that in that respect the public ends are actually firing a little bit better than democrats. and also it was a, it was very much geared towards the voters, the middle class in swing states and, and she really wanted to appeal to those voters. this word opportunity for me is quite key because it's essentially sort of this idea of america being this land of opportunity where if you work hard like she has and from all different types of background, you can go forward and you can progress and in your life it's a turn back to the american dream, which maybe i haven't heard that much about for a recent years. how about uh, stay with us for just a 2nd. i want to play a clip from cala harris because obviously one area of 1st between need to look at
9:06 am
is foreign policy. among other things she's commented on the ongoing for in gauze that so it looks like a listen to what you have to say. there may be clear, i will always stand up for israel's right to defend itself. or israel has the ability to defend itself at the same in time. what has happened in gaza over the past 10 months is devastating. so many live long desperate hungry people, waiting for stacy over and over again. the scale of suffering is heart breaking to pablo. come on, harris has called for a cease fire for a hostage released deal. do you think this speech will appease the elements of her party? who are deeply disappointed in the way that the bite and administration has approached
9:07 am
israel regarding it's handling its conduct of the war and gaza. what was interesting from what we just saw there? it was obviously very, very, very. and she was very careful that have she worded everything, you know, she reiterated her at her support for israel, but also once again reiterated that you know, more needs to be done for the palestinian people to know what i think is will be. so we'll have to wait and see after this week to see have the polls do, but you know, the coal for, for more criticism towards israel, she has done before. like, let's not forget the, just this summer and nothing. yeah. who at the prime minister of israel benjamin netanyahu was in, in washington. and after that, she said at that it was time for this war to and so very clear at distinction there from president biden, in many respects from what i've been reading some feel that she didn't go far
9:08 am
enough in her words yesterday. but for elders, it may be what needed to happen, just this sort of balance in many respects, book clerk, we'll have to see how, how have the polls do next week with regards to this topic. now, that will be the crucial, our litmus tests. let's talk little bit more about foreign policy. what other elements are for platform came off at the dnc that we can point to very much a defender of america's traditional alliances, a big supporter of nato. and one big area which he touched on, of course, is the war. and ukraine unwavering support for ukraine reiterated once again that the us is going to be there. and let's go back to donald trump. she was very critical of donald trump. she said this, and i think this line is one that will stand out. i will not cozy up to tyrants and terrorists like kimmy on, on. we're rooting for trump. so she was very much, once again hammering home. this idea that a trump presidency would be dangerous for the united states. so be dangerous for
9:09 am
democracy and for democracy in general. and it's not just the united states, but once again, those alliances and those allies that the united states has across the world. now kala harris has also drawn a lot of criticism on the issue of immigration. her approach there from saying she's not done enough to prevent illegal a, excuse me immigration, especially in her role under the, in the advice and administration, taking care of the us mexican border. so do you think, what do you think we're going to continue to hear that line of attacks from the republicans or she put minds at ease in this speech? very much so i think she, she wanted to speak about this topic because the republicans have been really attacking her on this. and she went after the republicans and said that she was part of this at new immigration plan, which would see at the border being tighter and sheets and basically
9:10 am
said that donald trump and the republicans had torpedoed any plans and that she had on the democrats had of the cause of his bi partisan deal that they came up with and which would see tougher restrictions on the border. and at the same time, not closing the united states to illegal path to immigration and illegal path to becoming american. so once again, it was sorting, trying to strike this balance between, you know, the democratic stance of being more open in many respects, but also sort of moving in the direction of the republicans and saying that the border is going to have to offer restrictions and follow we're just looking at some footage of a former president, donald trump, right off the board or a trip he made earlier this week and part i think we need to drive home with his criticism or direct of vice president harris. actually, 22 just before we go. yeah, pablo's been really insightful, but it all is going to come down to the numbers. right. do we have recent polling? do we know where things stand last? i checked, it was a really tight race, really tight res claire and you're up to the right. the thing is,
9:11 am
during the week of the dnc, they don't take polling, they wait till afterwards. so what we have is everything open to best points to best website before we're going to read, you have to see how her speech and tim will also speech, for example, went down next week reading. now the reason posting says that it's very, very tight. she has moved definitely in the right direction for the democrats, in many of the swing states. there was an, a b, c washington post ips us poll, which actually has to hire slightly ahead and polling averages, but it's very, very tight. and now the big issues i mentioned that before that she really needed to look at these are the big concern for americans, economy, inflation and immigration. and in the reason polling, trump has had an advantage there. so that was very much a part of the speech that we saw from pamela harris at yesterday. so there's also more poll, which is from the cbs. you goes, polling less here at which is that more than $1.00 and $3.00 voters say they don't
9:12 am
know what ms. harris stands for that's so interesting. and so she's been in office vice president, but still many who haven't made up their minds. so claire, i think we'll, we'll, like i said it's, it's a lot of waiting and seeing how everything is going. i'll be keeping an eye in the posts next week. yeah, i'm sure you well, no problem. thank you so much for joining me in the studio with that update that is the the use of pablo fully. oh yes sir. we're going to turn to some other news now, delegations from israel and the united states have arrived in cairo, in an effort to salvage talks for a cease fire in gaza. a sticking point is israel's demand to control a strategic cord or, and gaza. it comes as israel holds funerals for hostages, killed in gaza. earlier this week is wrote, recovered the bodies of 6 captives who were being held by us, which carried out the october 7th, a terms in garza. israel has issued new evacuation orders for residents of the
9:13 am
southern city upon eunice as its forces advanced in the region. and journalist cream algo harvey is a drawing me now on the line from cairo. good to see you again. negotiations toward a possible seas bar has been on going this week we expect official talks between him. austin is real to be kicking off tomorrow. has any progress been made so far? is it not that we know it? to be honest, it's very liberty use deacon. a to the media about the distinguished nations is really negotiate us reported to me already arrived in cairo. it's a talks will start, start between the mediators. the u. s. u n is the, is there any indications, late the, the, they wouldn't be joined by a dedication from the other media culture. there is no would get about how most education. yes, but of course the a brief to the by the error of the data is the goal is to research the differences
9:14 am
over this choose proposal to enters 10 months. wall. main sticking points is the sort of withdrawal from the gaza strip. the phone is really withdrawal from because it's true or not. and to know that they're always trying to keep the presence of the piece right. the industry that there's the courage or that's the border between egypt and the gaza strip. and that the so called they said he corey door, that's according to that. that's the fighting as it goes into a northern and southern parts. yeah. tell me a little bit more. i understand these to strategic corners have, as you say, been a major sticking point in these negotiations. why is it so difficult for all sides to find the agreement? there is what the i was trying to get the deal on the, on the continues presence, being of these really ami through parts of the gaza strip side multiply hom, us or there will be no. this is that the,
9:15 am
i'm to know is not acceptable for how much is this on this is charles 82. let's take this to the call. you go, that's the border between that because according to reports and. busy press that is a new proposal suggesting a u. n. money towards emission in separate business or any troops also raises the possibility that the there will be a mission at the board. a process in, at all costs at low risk. the policy and all sorts is to have this according to this reports that is ready to quit, then gradually withdraw from the area. but there is a very, very strong deny in from the office. i'll send it to you all about this reports my view on to know we don't have any official copy about this real quick richard proposal at this very few official statements around to give
9:16 am
a go. sions. most of what we hear is collective to the media by the mazda is very important to strengths of english and position. now, just before i let you go, i just want to get some clarity on this issue. it is not just time, also egypt that does want israel to withdraw from the philadelphia core door. can you explain why that is? so what are you shipping to interprets the presence of the israeli army at this for just it is a violation of the king david peace, the court. that's the piece, a court side between egypt at this rate. 1979. the 1st piece, according to the country, is read according to that, in this area should be some kinds of demilitarized zone is just this. again, this is also denying is really a physicians with a smuggling of witness to the serious side saying they destroyed to the toddlers that were existing day after all of it's usually like all other states. once in the
9:17 am
end of the is there any of the patient look for the the causes to but also the of westbank. so a continuum is really presence in god. busy what it's trying useful for patients and what is it sees is a violation of the condition law. thank you so much. as always for your insights today that is journalist cream elbow hurry in cairo. you with a and we do have time to bring you up to speed with some other world news headlines in thailand. all 9 passengers of a charter plane or presumed dead. alfred fresh south east of bangkok, the aircraft went down shortly after taking off the capitals main airport. the wreckage was located and a member of swamp where conditions have found for search efforts. a fire at a hotel in the south korean city of some sean has killed at least 7 people and injured a dozen others victims are being treated at nearby hospitals. investigators are
9:18 am
looking into the cause of the place and a volcano in southwestern iceland has erupt. it for the 6th time since december spewing lava and smoke into the air eruption cause a fisher almost 4 kilometers long to open the volcanoes. luckily, in a sparsely populated area and it has not been disrupting flights. directive ex indian prime minister and a render moody has arrived in ukraine, where he will meet the president for a lot of years. lensky is, has the 1st visit by an indian prime minister to ukraine. so it's, it's independence from the soviet union. moody's visit follows a trip to poland, where he held talks with his counterpart, donald to ask. and you have so far avoided explicitly condemning the russian invasion and have a blessed day on un resolutions that criticized the kremlin. and while in poland, moody said in the supports dialogue and
9:19 am
a diplomacy to restore peace and ukraine frame, you get in on the bus to a she, i'm at the the have some good friends home, the situation and ukraine invest aisha in that, that'd be as a matter of deep concern for all of us. uh yeah, i heard of best buy and your family believes that no conflicts or problems can be resolved on the battlefield. only men or to so we have team coverage of this trip for more on this story. i'm pleased to welcome our correspondence. sonya found a car in key of and a shallow dog in delhi. sonya, let's start with you and the view from ukraine. what can we expect from bodies visit today? will dismissal by indian problem. this is in the range and will be slightly being seen this historic as a significant step and kind of building on growing ties between keys and daily. but in terms of what to expect to be, it's always hard to know the exact program of foreign leaders visiting keeps simply because of the kind of tight security measures in place around creating president
9:20 am
a domain has an inch key. and of course uh, from just some of these visits also comes with the eve of your friends on independence day when it mocks 30 to 3 years of, of independence from the soviet union. so security has been based up further in the capitals and u. s embassy showed as also of wondering what the height and risk of russian decided and phone attacks. nobody hearing that movie in his delegation or expected to meet zalinski and his government this morning, followed by a press. we think we're not expecting any major announcements though. there are some agreements in the works, reportedly on agriculture and defense. i mean, the 4th would also be in the role in ukraine's, you know, post war reconstruction and shallow. are you also hearing that this time a is meant to coincide with independent state and ukraine, or is there something else to it? why do you think he's made this trip now? the a huge amount of backlash or not just from the western nations,
9:21 am
but also from president of zalinski himself, who uh uh, you know, who put out escaping treat, saying that he was usually disappointed to see, or the leader of the was not just democracy, hugging the was most criminal leader and so of you know, there's this backlash, there's a back door to this visit, which is this backlash. and also remember that a y, a prime minister movie was in moscow. there was a messiah attacked by rochelle, on a children's hospital in ukraine. movie said, while he was in law school, that he was paid of by the death of the children, but he stopped short of blaming russia for it. and now there are speculations that he might be visiting that hospital during his visit in ukraine. and if that happens, okay, uh that would be a significant uh symbolism. as far as the timing of this trip is concerned, that it's hard not to see this as a, as a damage control exercise. but then experts also say that it should not be seen as india. so the buckling under the western pressure because india has made it very
9:22 am
clear that it's relationship with the russia and ukraine are independent of each other. and it's not a 0 sum game. so it's pure diplomacy unfolding what you see right now happening in ukraine. and it's, it seems to have worked already because yesterday we saw a reaction from us senior deploy my children, denny, who said that the us is delighted to see this important visit to uh, by prime minister movie to ukraine. so so the us seems to be able to come to terms with the fact that india cannot take that kind of unique back to the position that the west has taken on discomfort. and so you know, for the optics, i think it's all around appeasement. so, damage control on india is own terms. their shallow, as we've mentioned, moody has also just been in poland overhead, prime minister donald, to us saying that he supported moody playing the role of a mediator between ukraine and russia. do you think monique sees himself in that capacity as well in yeah, it's not really all sort itself as a mediator so far it's, it's been walking this sort of like tight
9:23 am
a tightrope or on this conflict. so it's, it's, it's been advocating for diplomacy and dialogue. has been hard time and again from a prime minister movie. and it has also said that it's, it's ready to, or for any kind of support that's needed for a peaceful resolution to the concrete. so it has always sort of like stop short of making that commitment that we can step in and we can allow for this peaceful resolution to happen. 5 minutes, the movie has said that this is not and at all for, and he'd reiterated that part in portland, where he said that into the battle field is not really a place to resolve the conflicts. so just put a bit of context here. okay. uh, you know, i think it's in line with the, in the as long standing position of not alignment when it comes to global conflicts, as well as it's long standing relationship with russia, which go way back. you know, we're back to the, at all for the soviet union. and so, you know, one has to see it is the strip in that context as well. and so in your equally important as, of course,
9:24 am
how key of sees moody and india as well. what can you tell us about the view from ukraine? well, the thing your brain has consistently called an india to play a more active role in peace negotiations. given a false india is only long standing ties to more school it's, it's going, you know, global spectra. and i think when you print this is part of the it's kind of broader outreach to the so far drill the south countries you know, be on your i'm north america. i think india is seen as central to presidents and in skis, emissions of winning over key states in places like africa and latin america in asia. these are regions which ukraine has traditionally not really engaged with, or had much of a diplomatic presence in until the rush of full scale invasion of 2 and a half years ago. so i think of, from your principal spec to move these visits. here is seen a significant and it's kind of a thoughts you know, to win more friends, displaced in his own diplomatic position and widened support in the safe. let's
9:25 am
defend off rushes. envision thank you so much to both of you for that coverage has our correspondence. sonya fall in the car in cuba and shallow y'all just in don't many thanks to you both. thank you. and we're going to turn now to some other news actually to continue on this story. we are looking at ukraine continuously where we've had our corresponding nick connelly. he's been embedded there with ukranian troops during their offensive in russia's course, grecian and he accompanied them as they headed for the town of serge address beyond the border with russia, ukraine's been setting up a military command post there. here is his report, the windows of the grain, you know, my personal carrier, crow totally unlimited view, empty streets. in the case of sam showing in the distance, you could be somewhere along different lines in ukraine. but this is russia, ukraine control which means the. ready
9:26 am
route, we're not able to do it freely, but for now that is pretty much the way to get in. let'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 the towns where snow thirty's simply go to that cause and fled. those remaining 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 to talk to some locals here in subject, and they was a big shot from all ukraine troops with us. they have seen a russian solid drawn up in the sky above, which would normally get coordinates for temporary or the strikes that could potentially be coming this way. licksey demetrius keeps key,
9:27 am
is the spokesperson for the new be created, ukrainian ministry come on in coast regions. he says he never expected to be here. unlike russia, he says, ukraine has no plans. tonics territory. i'm just across there should say that we don't want to keep this land. we don't need to to them. good. we've had to do this to show our enemy that they're vulnerable as well, but, and so that they're not all powerful. the reading of someone who is the things leaders want the world and ordinary 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, sir, as long as 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 some of the locals,
9:28 am
we're hiding into cetera. nearby the streets are empty basically what you can hear of generates is existence. there's still a power here and very occasionally, some ukrainian transport it's mainly the elderly and those looking off to sick friends and relatives who stayed behind the point meet, stay close to the basement where they sleep for safety. no one offered me a chance to evacuate, some people got out on their own in their cars. oh yeah, no 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 out to the re fi between ukrainian forces here in pseudo,
9:29 am
russian forces nearby. my house was bomb to them. there's only a crater left. i was new when that happened yesterday. and this is a house, it's destroyed. computers has been built to do my best to work of setting up humanitarian car doors to allow these people to reach areas under russian government control. the sofa is no more than talk this vulnerable thing. if i came to work and sewage it that day, we didn't understand what was happening. i've been here ever since. my parents are back in the village and share 84 and 83 years old. i don't know what's happened to them and they don't know what's happened to me that report from our correspondent nick connolly. and so just, just to forego a reminder of our top story at this hour, kind of what harris has formerly accepted her parties, nomination for us presidents and a speech as the democratic national convention in chicago. she set out for policies and a vision for the future. with her slogan,
9:30 am
we're not going back and then you have it. you are up to date, unclear richardson and it's for atlanta. thank you so much for joining us. the, the, the ice fields in the past to go in on these unknown valley discovered terrain. a team of mountain is and scientists tend to explore these almost a miserable regions where global climate change is more tangible than almost anywhere else in the world. the
