imbedded with ukranian forces inside russia. our correspondence finds a handful of civilians left behind without power running water for a phone signal the mariana evans, dean. it's good to have you with us. on the last day of the democratic national convention come on, harris has formerly accepted her party's nomination for president of the united states. addressing delegates on the final 9th of a 4 day event of chicago, vice president harris sketched down to her vision for the future. one that would offer unity and opportunity. she promised that if elected, she would be a president for all americans. alcala harris also used her speech to lay out some of her foreign policy platforms, including her support for israel,

concerned about suffering and awesome, and ongoing backend for ukraine must have listened as commander and said, i will ensure a miracle always has the strongest mosley for fighting force in the world with respect to the war in god, the present environment on a working around the clock. because now is the time to get a hostage deal and a face fired deal done. and let me be clear, i will always stand up for is realism defend itself. or israel has the ability to defend itself because the people of israel must never

again face. so hor, that a terrorist organization called her mom, paused on october 7. at the same time, what has happened in gaza over the past 10 months is devastating. so many long hungry people waiting for stacy over and over again the scale of suffering is heart breaking. president vitamin i a working to end this war, such that israel is secure, the hostages are released the suffering in gaza and, and the palestinian people can realize their right to the

days before russia attacked ukraine. i met with president zalinski to warn him about russia's plan to invade. i helped mobilize a global response over 50 countries to defend against the dresser. president, i will stand. 7 with the rain and how long the necessary to defend our forces and our interests against the run any run back to terrorist. i will not hold me up to tyrants and dictators. light came down on our room and as president, i will never waver into vince of america security an ideal because in the, in,

during struggle between democracy and tyranny. i know where i stand and i know where the united states. 7 right, for some analysis on come on, here's is remarks i'm joined now in the studio by d. w reporter pablo. fully at least get to see pablo. so it's pretty remarkable to remember. come on here is just launched her campaign a month ago. but, you know, since then, she's phase criticism from both democrats and republicans for not laying out a clear policy specifically on foreign policy. did we finally get some details in her speech last night? we saw there in the report some snippets of, of her speech yesterday. i d, n. c in chicago. what was interesting to me was this was kind of the harris coming out on the world stage and trying to show the world that she is capable of being the leader of the united states. what was very interesting for me was that she is

a defender of the us is traditional alliances and allies. and most notably, she came out in defense and of ukraine, continued support there from the us for ukraine. she said that based on strong and with ukraine, she's also been a big supporter of nato. and, and, you know, that's no surprise in many respects because she has expressed time in her time is vice president. she has been 9 installation ism, which is in star contracts. so what many critics say is what donald trump wants to do and, and also was very, very harsh with regards to donald trump and the dangers that potentially donald trump poles. if he comes back as president in november and he accused them, we heard it there of not closing ups. he said i will not close up the tyrants and terrorist light came drawn on. we're waiting for trump. and she said, she accused donald trump of cozying, of with the old,

across from around the world. you know, so she came as strong. she can have fears, and she wanted to kind of just hammer home that the united states wants to be a global leader. and she wants, she said, strength and not advocate our global leadership. so very interesting speech there it will be t for me to see how the i had the polls of fair after this, whether they help a lot of those critics protect the, from the republican sites. as sort of see if they've, she's stepped up to the mark and what they expect from her as a potential present. well, one foreign policy issue that's been very contentious and the united states is of course the we're in gaza. we heard harris referring to that as well in her remark, she called for a cease fire in gauze and also for a hostage release deal. but how much does she actually differ from present biting on the middle east? right? first and foremost at comma harris is not being afraid to, that's

a criticize israel. and so it's policies with regards to particular toward their in gaza. and she's also been a long time advocate for a 2 state solution. as many politicians are in the democrats and republicans as well, she's called for an end to gaza, and this is where it is different to joe biden. the current president, of course, she is, and she's not afraid to come out. i'm not saying that joe biden is afraid, but she's definitely come out and been harsher, will say in, in her criticism of his ro, back in july, when prime minister benjamin netanyahu, as row was in washington afterwards. what appeared to be quite a heated discussion. she came out and said it is time for this war to and now when she spoke about the palestinians yesterday in chicago, and with regard to their right for self determination in her comments and that was met with applause. now what she didn't do was, which is what some members of the democrats have criticized her over is. and this support from the west with regards to arms. and she has said that she is going to

continue supporting israel once again. critics from the democrats and republicans with regards to sometimes her criticism of israel, but she's going to continue supporting israel. and so whether that is enough to basically i don't is a piece but to satisfy at those people who have support, who have read and criticize the by the ministration and tires over their stance on this topic. we'll see how the polls fair next week. you'd have to use public fully as possible. thank you so much for that. or european countries are also following the u. s. presidential race very closely and for the view from brussels. we're joined now by terry schultz and also dw need a has a is standing by for us in berlin. a good to see both of you at terry. if i'd like to start with you from what we heard during comma harris's speech as a democratic national convention,

what do you think her presidency would mean for fellow nato partners? as well, to be honest, i think that for, for nato members, all except for perhaps hungry basically kind of, le harris would be a huge relief. and that would actually be true of almost any republican candidate other than donald trump. because traditionally, the republican party also has been very supportive of nato. but of course under current circumstances with donald trump as the g o p. candidate connelly harris will definitely be the preferred candidate in terms of nato's support. now we didn't see any reaction this morning from you leaders from nato leaders from national leaders. and that's not so surprising because of course it wasn't a speech that was heavy on foreign policy. but also you have to remember that they have to be very careful. nobody knows who's going to win this contest and, and donald trump, of course, it will certainly target them if they are come out speaking in favor of, of cala harris. but i think that it was very key that she mentioned this statement

made by trump on the campaign trail that vladimir putin could do whatever he wanted to nato allies who weren't paying 2 percent of their g d. p on defense. that was a very chilling statement. no one will forget that. and i think that was a key message sent by comma la harris to members of nato, that they would have her support. they wouldn't have to worry about such things with a democratic presidency. and you know, what about germany? has there been a reaction to cala harris's speech? as we had a reaction from the head of the circle. transatlantic bridge that seek my god. we are from the social democrats. so the ruling policy here in berlin, he used to be a uh, the economy, minnesota, and a previous government. and he said that the most important message from pamela harris. his speech was that she intends to continue working with our european allies very closely together. so this is of course, the most important message that all the political parties who are still in the majority, one close its transatlantic ties will have felt

a sense of relief to here. but of course, that's also good news for them and businesses, and it's also credible because she has done that in the past. she attended the munich security conference and regularly and publicly has never left it. doubtless she stands with your opinions when it comes to arrest as war against your crane. and at the same time, oh, so i have to add that herron bell and there is a one. is that regardless of whether the democrats or the republicans ultimately in the white house, if it one for rest, is war against ukraine, the us would known have shifted its focus away from europe and germany towards the end of pacific. where everyone agrees that that is the reason that will be at the core of the political pol, play in the 21st century. well, i'd like to speak a bit more about ukraine and terry, as we know, even with all the support from europe, t of is still very dependent on arm supplies from the united states. so what, what

a hair is presidency mean for the war in ukraine? cantier assume that they will continue to receive this kind of support from america or even is kimberly harris wins the presidency. ukraine can't be sure the us able continue with the level it was before. and remember that it wasn't the white house holding up this 61000000000 dollar a package. earlier, it was congress and they may run into those troubles, even in a, in a harris presidency. but one other note that i mentioned, or that i noticed in her speech that i think you cream would have liked to hear in this speech. a little bit more criticism of latter mir fruit. and when she mentioned that she would not be soft on autocrats, she mentioned the north korean leader. i think you craniums and probably a lot of nato members would have liked to hear her put vladimir putting in that list as well. and now what could happen if, let's say we do see trump returned to the white house, our leaders preparing for an impact on trans atlantic ties. if harris does not swim

or you can't exaggerate the implications of transatlantic ties and that the us election has, if couple of harris wins that we small, complex aspects move procedures in place, are good and close that networks. they'll continue collaborate, single arguing, but sit donald trump get into office again, the pressure from germany and for europe to become more independent as far as security goes, will rise significantly. and that will be k us as far as communication. also on the lower levels below the ministers is concerned. we know that from the previous donald trump presidency. that was nina has a reporting for us from berlin and terry shelf in brussels. thank you so much to both of you or to some other news now. and india is now render moody is in kids. is the 1st visit by an indian prime minister to ukraine since its independence from the soviet union mode he met with president

of let them here's a landscape. the 2 leaders are holding talks were modi's expected to push for a solution to end the war and ukraine. the indian leader is accompanied by his foreign minister and national security adviser. body has not explicitly condemned to the kremlin invasion and has abstained on un resolutions that criticize russia. or for more on this, let's bring in our correspondence on your phone a car who's standing by in key of an shalumi guy job in delhi. good to see you both . so sonya, how is moody's visit to key of going so far? that would ukraine has a really welcome this was it by movie as a kind of significant step and building on growing ties between even daily. it's also the opportunity, of course, for ukraine to engage with a major and i off most goals and movies visit comes just to be

a head of the presence independence fee. when did the set to mock puppy to 33 years of it's independence from the soviet union? so security is really tight and the capital among many digital height and risk of, of russian attacks. now we've seen president savanski has just posted a video on his telegraph travel showing human mood, the attending and exhibition this morning in keep focused on your craving. children who have been killed since the beginning of russia is full scale invasion. and this is, of course, really symbolic, because movie has been criticized for a visit that you made to most school last months to meet a president. 14 on a day when russian besides struck multiple your pregnant cities, including a major children's hospital. sure. in cave which led to devastating scenes i'm left to kind of wounding. i'm kidding, of patients and doctor. so i think this is also suggest that, you know, in diplomats seem to have taken some of that criticism by zalinski and the width on board. it's an attempt to kind of control some of the damage from that most field

trip. now we just hearing that the, the 2 sides have met. i'd have a report to be signed some agreements on, on economic corporation agricultural, we're not really expecting any big announcements. but officials from the 2 countries have said in recent months, so they also want to restore, you know, by electric crane, which is still a bit to get into water. and india, of course, is also in the role in ukraine's postwar reconstruction. and so i'd like to ask you about the timing. why is moody visiting ukraine this week? it does it have to do with his visit with the rational leader rational leadership a month ago? or is there more to it as well? absolutely. i think, you know, it's hard not to see that you know, it has to do with his visit to my school because the backlash off of that visit was, was quite severe. not just by western nations, but by zalinski himself who put out escaping treat after he met to fulton. and he

said in history that he's disappointed to see the lead it off was largest democracy of hugging was most dirty criminal. so human snowboards and i think, you know, this response was waiting to happen from india. and the timing of this trip is, is really not lost or not. anyone is hard not to see this as a damage control exercise, but exports children into also pointing out that they should not just be seen as the india buckling under the western pressure. because as far as into is concerned, it's made its position quite clear that its relationship with the ukraine as well as russia are independent of each other and it's not a 0 sum game. so i think with this trip, india is trying to make a point that it's not taking any sides. so in this concept, and what you see in ukraine, you know, the pictures of the prime minister visiting this memorial to pay how much to the dead children, those pictures that speak a 1000 words. you know, it's diplomacy at its best unfolding in ukraine. and it seems to be working because

we've had reactions from a senior or us official here in delhi, who said that he was delighted to see that this important visit by movie has come about. as well as the reaction from the european union ambassador who called this visit to historic. so i think for the optics, you know, it's done, the strip has done its job of appeasing on the side. sweetie on moody, went to kiff from poland and earlier in the polish prime minister said he sees india and the role of mediator between ukraine and russia. but does moody see himself in that capacity to this question has called the time and again uh, marianna and india has maintained of a precarious position. it's always a putting itself out as an advocate for diplomacy and dialogue. the prime minister has been reiterating that even in his visit to portland, or he said that i think that a 2 reasons behind indians in does stance of not offering itself as an elton out

a mediator in this conflict. one is, it's long standing, a policy of non alignment when it comes to global issues. and the 2nd reason, and the most important one is it's long standing relationship with russia, which go way back, you know, as far as the old soviet union. and both countries have hired each of those back up, you know, for decades on the contentious issues. i'll give you one example that russia has stood behind the india when it comes to its actions in crush me and indicted the same for rochelle when it invaded crimea. so, you know, in this, given this kind of dynamic and the history of the relationship between the 2 countries, i think it'll be hard for the inductor to be immediate though, and be seen as, you know, completely neutral in this case. and to code to in didn't know for minutes to address on good. he says that a washer to be a problem if windows smart enough to have multiple options. so i guess this kind of multilateral approach that india is sticking to words of global affairs, gives you

a sense of why in del wants to be on defense on this one. thank you very much for that show. that was shelly a job in daily and dw sonya phonic, or in key. if we appreciate your reporting. thank you. this will staying in the region dw, corresponding to connelly has been embedded with ukranian troops during their offensive in russia's course, the region he accompanied them as they headed for the town of su drum. just beyond the border with russia, where ukraine is setting up a military command post. here's his report. the windows of the brain, you know my personal care you properly unlimited view, empty streets and the occasional sound of shilling in the distance. you can be somewhere along different lines and ukraine, but this is russia under ukrainian control. ready means that we will have with us the routes. we're not able to do it freely. but for now that is pretty much

the waiting to get in. that's get some idea of what we see. part of the story. no one knows how many russian civilians were left behind when ukrainian forces cross the border. locals told us the towns original thirty's simply going there cause and fled. those remaining had no running water, no power. increasingly no phone signal for 2 weeks now. cut off from use and their families and the rest of russia compared to many places. and these can ukraine, it seems comparatively quiet. the ukrainian soldiers accompanying us are on edge we were just trying talk to some locals here in. so jeff, and they was a big shot from the ukraine troops with us. they have seen a russian dollar drawn up in the sky above, which would normally get coordinates for tillery or the strikes that could potentially be coming this way. the licksey demetrius keeps key, is the spokesperson for the new created you create into that trick amount in cost

region. he says he never expected to be here, like russia. he says, ukraine has no plans to antics directory. i'm just because it 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 or, and to me that they're vulnerable as well. let me assure you that they're not all powerful. in this, i'm always depends leaders want the world and with new russians to see images like this. they want ordinary russians to put pressure on the letting me put in to move troops away from the front lines in the east of ukraine to defend russian. so a hit and quotes for now, it seems that they're not doing that. they're not moving those institutes away from dumbass. but the hope among the grains hoops here, 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 the locals were hiding in a cellar. nearby, the streets are empty basically where 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 stayed behind the people we 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 or yeah, no, i live alone. busy my daughter lives far away. i had no way of getting out the above was. so the thing i was looking after an elderly friend. she was sick before. i couldn't just leave her. she died yesterday and we buried her today. many of the left homeless by the continuing to the re fi between ukrainian forces here in pseudo, russian forces nearby, the lowest, the most of what you use like for the my house was bomb to them,

but there's only afraid or left. i was here when that happened yesterday on me, 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. sofa is no more than talk if i came to work in the sewage of that day, we didn't understand what was happening. 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 then something we weren't expecting to see the screen, you know, we spoke the person gets out his laptop. so these were some civilians, video from butcher, the town, a key of what russian troops accused of carrying out what crimes when they controlled area local, seem exhausted, barely able to take anything in the moment, reveals more about how you cranium, soldiers rush and sort of a feeling that does about russians appears on the wall. 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 invited me approaching story of what he calls the special military operation in ukraine. we don't have time to say anymore. we told this time to leave. if you're watching dw news, or reminder now of our top stories, pamela harris has formerly accepted her party of nomination for us presidents in her speech at the democratic national convention in chicago. she says out her policy and the vision for the future with her slogan, we're not going back. in the in prime minister under, under moody is in the key of where he's met with president of what america lensky is the 1st visit spine, indian leader to modern frank. you're up to date now on the w news on there and evans team, they'll be back at the top of the hour with more headlines for you. in the meantime, you can get lots more news at our website. just go to the www dot com also you can
