2:05 pm
all right, let's do some analysis now and call harris's remarks, and for that i'm joined in the studio by the delay reporter pablo. fully leah's problem. get to see, you know, care is, has actually been criticized, hasn't she for not presenting a clear foreign policy platform. this criticism that was heard both on the democratic side and also by republicans. did she finally deliver enough details in last night? speech? depends who you ask in many respects, a lot of what was said was nothing. you mean, she touched on a lot of the topics we saw it there in that montage of at different sound bites from last night. one thing that really stood out for me is that she's going to continue to be a defender of the us as traditional allies and alliances. and she promised continued support at for nato, which is very interesting. she's always been big supporter of, of nato. and also interesting the to continued support for you, frank and,
2:06 pm
and she said that she's going to be us will continue to stand strong with ukraine. let's not forget that. she attended them unit security conference, which spoke about just a few days before. actually the beginning of the war back in 2022. 1 thing that also she didn't shy away from was for this rising former presidents. and of course, the republican nominee. donald trump seemed to use donald trump other lining himself with photographs. and then he was a threat not only to the united states, but essentially to the world and some very strong comments or we've heard of as well. and in that she said that she was not going to cozy up to tyrants to terrorist who are rooting for donald trump. that one thing also that kind of hires was criticized for am perfectly as vice president was that she didn't have enough experience on the international stage. but we'll just give you a couple of facts here. she actually met a 150 more leaders in this time that she's been vice president. she's visited over 20 countries and also find the i'll finish by saying this, she made it very clear where the us under her at presidency would be,
2:07 pm
which would be that we strength and not abdicate our global leadership. we also heard harris referred to the war in gaza. she spoke quite a bit about that, but just how different are her views compared to those of president bite? and i think the big difference between vitamin hires is that pamela harris isn't afraid to come out. and let's say, i'm not saying that biting is afraid, but she has come out. i'm being quite vocal in her criticism of his relevance office policy sticky. this regards to gaza and she has been a long time advocate for 2 state solution mentions. go for an end to the war in gaza and she was my feeling and she will continue to be quite critical. critical of israel. she wants to see an end to the war in gaza. and also for those critics of the situation there, she did not reject. and we'll say a reason close for an arms embargo, sorry, she did reject calls for an arms embargo there in,
2:08 pm
in israel. and also she once again called for palestinian self determination, and that was met with a lot of applause from the audience. but once again she did at support israel and i and she made it clear that she was trying to. so i suppose strike that balance, right? and i don't know how this is going to go down and with the, the, with, with the voters. we'll see that in polling next week. but it was an attempt, at least to kind of that striking balance. you'd have a is, have a fully ellis, many things indeed for all your insights. all right, let's turn our attention now to some of the other stories making news around the world. this our authorities in bangladesh say 4500000 people have been affected by floods in the southeast, 13 people have died in the heavy rains. electricity in transportation have been disruptive. rescuers are struggling to reach the effective areas. lots of also
