about how they're going to pay the bills about how they were going to make it simply make it growing up in scranton and claymont delaware i saw that struggle with my family as well cobble a software hers as well and millions of americans are living that struggle as we speak especially in this moment of crisis especially was so many jobs lost common i both know that all folks are looking for as my dad would say isn't even shah just give me a shot a fair shot a shot at making it and it would be the work of our administration to make sure they get a fair shot working families need someone on their side in this nation because they certainly don't have anyone in the president now on their side that's going to change in a biden has said mr ation is going to be gratifying to see the strong enthusiasm

reaction to senator harris as our next vice president you know it comes from people all over the country it's already occurring all over the country all it illogical views all backgrounds of vents of course we are predictable some of them become some all over except of course from donald trump's white house and his allies you all knew it was coming you could have set your watches to it don trump has already started his attacks calling kamel a quote nasty whiny about how she's quote mean to his appointee he says it's no surprise because whining is what donald trump does best better than any president american history is anyone surprised on trump as a problem with

a strong woman or strong women across the board we know that more is to come so let's be clear. if you're a working person worried about whether or not you have a job to go to whether or not you're be able to pay your mortgage pay your rent worried about the poison of the air you breathe the water you drink worried about your civil rights even your basic right to dignity which is under attack with this administration comma harris has had your back and now we have to have her back she going to stand with me in this campaign and all of us are going to stand up for her on january 20th 2021 ra going to watch senator harris raise a right hand and swear the oath of office as the 1st woman ever

to serve in the 2nd highest office in america in this land and that we're going to get to work fixing the mess a president trump and vice president of pence have created both at home and abroad through 4 years of mismanagement and coddling of terrorist and thugs around the world not only will america dig itself out of this hole they put us in we're going to build we're going to build back we're going to build back better we have a public health crisis while he's in court trying to do away with health care with more than 5000000 reported infections 165000 people dead and climbing as a consequence of code 90 and still no months later no real leadership or a plan from the president on states how to get this pandemic under control

no real help for the states and local governments trying to fill the vacuum of leadership from the white house no real help. for children and educators for small businesses and front line workers that hold on to their ones are holding our country together instead. he's issuing executive orders and making promises that the end will define end of the social security system all insisting that this virus will disappear the joe biden income will hire us administration to have a comprehensive plan to meet the challenge of covert 90 and turn the corner on this pandemic maskey clear science based guidance dramatically scaling up testy getting states and local governments and resources they need to open the schools and businesses safely we can do this we just need

a president a vice president willing to lead and take responsibility not as this president says it's not my fault the government the governor should thank me more as a whole saying goes give me a break we have an economic crisis but more than 16000000 americans 16000000 still out of work donald trump is on track to break another record on track to leave office of the worst jobs record of any american president modern history but instead of doing the hard work of meeting face to face with congressional leaders democrats and republicans in the white house like every other president is done in a crisis to get americans the relief they need and deserve donald trump is

on the golf course if i told you this 3 years ago you look at me like i was being crazy he hasn't even met with the leadership he doesn't have time it appears. with the climate crisis that donald trump refuses to even acknowledge and he thinks about climate change all here we hear is the word hoax biden has the ministrations going to meet the climate crisis protect the health of the american public and along the way we're going to deliver one word jobs good paying jobs who are racial cry just as crisis doll shop seeks only to inflame it with this politics of racist rhetoric and appeals to division

you know today's not only the day i'm proud to do senator kamel harris as the vice presidential nominee of the democratic party it's also the 3rd anniversary of that terrible danger charlottesville remember remember what it felt like to see those neo nazis close your eyes and those klansmen white supremacists coming out of fields carrying lighted torches faces contorted bulging they pour into the streets of historic american city spewing the same an isometric bile we heard in hitler's germany in the 30s remember how it fell to see a violent clash ensue between those celebrating hate and those standing against it

it was a wake up call for all of us as a country for me it was a call to action my father used to say silence is complicity not a riginal to him but he believed it at that moment i knew i couldn't stand by and let donald trump a man who went on to say when asked about what he thought he said they were very fine people on both sides quote very fine people on both sides no president of united states america has ever said anything like that. seme continuing to attack everything that makes america america i knew we were in the battle for the soul of the nation. that's why i decided to run and i'm proud now to have senator harris at my side in that battle because she shares it with the same intensity i do for she someone who knows what's at stake the question is

for all americans the answer who are we as a nation what do we stand for. and most importantly what do we want to be. you know someone who knows that the future of this country is limited only by the barriers we place on our own imaginations because there's nothing americans cannot achieve. when we put our minds to it and we do it together. one of the reasons i chose comma is because we both believe that we can define america simply in one word possibilities possibilities that he said again possibilities that's america that's what sets this nation apart. is that everyone. everyone the ability for everyone and we mean everyone to go as far

and dream as big as hard work and their god given ability will take them. when i agreed to serve as president obama's running mate. he has been number questions as have hass comma the most important was he said to me what he asked me what i wanted most importantly. i told him i wanted to be the last person in the room before he made important decisions. that's what i asked camelot . asked common would be the last voice in the room. always tell me the truth which she will challenge my assumptions if she disagrees ask the hard questions. because that's the way we make the best decisions for the american people. i got a chance to spend some time in my home today. with kamel and doug. the want to

thank them i thank the members thank them publicly for green to join and take this journey with killing me doug. you're going to have to learn what it means to be a barrier breaker yourself in this job you're about to take on america's 1st 2nd gentleman. and all there although they're not with us here today i want to thank ellen cole was well i did chance to speak to doug's mom and dad and ellen cole and we're going to get our kids together to let them know what what's coming our grandchildren are about the age of their children. got to speak to them my campaign has always been a family affair every campaign i've run. so i've got some news for you and. you're

all honorary bidens. and here's the best part camila you've been an honorary biden for quite some time. you know i came 1st to know how common it was through our son beau biden. they were friends they served as attorney general at the same time it took the same big they took on the same big fights together kamel in california well here in delaware big fights that helped change the entire country i know how much ball respect to comment on our work and that matter a lot to me to be honest with you as i made this decision. so now we need to get to work plea this nation out of these crises we find ourselves in getting our economy back on track you 19 this nation and yes we need the battle for the soul of america my fellow americans now let me to do is to you for the 1st time your next vice

president of states kamo parents probably. floors your. money. thank you joe. thank you jeff. as i said joe when you called me i am incredibly honored by this responsibility and i'm ready to get to work i'm ready to get to work. after the most competitive primary in history the country received a resoundingly message that joe was the person to lead us forward. and joe i'm so proud to stand with you and i do so mindful of all the heroic

and ambitious women before me who sacrifice determination and resilience makes my presence here today even possible. this is a moment of real consequence for america everything we care about our economy our health our children the kind of country we live in it's all on the line. we're reeling from the worst public health crisis in a century. the president's mismanagement of the pandemic has plunged us into the worst economic crisis since the great depression and we're experiencing a moral reckoning with racism and systemic injustice that has brought a new coalition of conscience to the streets of our country demanding

change america is crying out for leadership yet we have a president who cares more about himself than the people who elected him a president who is making every challenge we face even more difficult to song but here's the good news we don't have to accept the failed government of donald trump and mike pence in just 83 days we have a chance to choose a better future for our country. so. dr biden. thank you for the trust you've placed in me jill i know you will be an incredible 1st lady. and my husband and i are so grateful grateful to become a part of your extended family. and ever since i received joe's call i've been

thinking yes about the 1st biden that i really came to know and that of course is joe's beloved son one of his beloved sons bow in the midst of the great recession bo and i spoke on the phone practically every day sometimes multiple times a day working together to win back billions of dollars for homeowners from the big banks of the nation that were foreclosing on people's homes. and let me just tell you about beau biden i learned quickly that bo was the kind of guy who inspired people to be a better version of themselves he really was the best of us and when i would ask him where do you get back where this comes from he'd always talk about

his dad. and i will tell you the love that they shared was incredible to watch it was the most beautiful display of the love between a father and a son. and botox about how joe would spend 4 hours every day riding the rails back and forth from wilmington to washington so he could make breakfast choice kids in the morning and make it home in time to tuck them in bed each night all of this so 2 little boys who had just lost their mom and their sister in a tragic accident would know that the world was still turning and that's how i came to know joe. he's someone whose 1st response when things get tough is never to think about himself but to care for everyone else he

someone who never asks why is this happening to me and instead asks what can i do to make life better for you. his empathy his compassion his sense of duty to care for others is why i am so proud to be on this ticket. and joe and i yes we are cut from the same cloth family is everything to me too and i cannot wait for america to get to know my husband again our amazing kids colin allen. because whether i'm cheering in the bleachers at a swim meet are setting up a college room dorm or helping my god daughter prepare for her school debate are building lego's with my god son or hugging my 2 baby nieces or cooking dinner sunday dinner my family means everything to me. and i've had

a lot of titles over my career and certainly vice president will be great but mama will always be the one that means the moused. and you know my mother and father they came from opposite sides of the world to arrive in america one from india and the other from jamaica in search of a world class education but what brought them together was the civil rights movement of the 1960 s. and that's how they met as students in the streets of oakland marching and shouting for this thing called justice and a struggle that continues today and i was part of it my parents would bring me to protests strapped tightly in my stroller and my mother schama braised my sister maya and me to believe that it was up to us and every generation of

americans to keep on marching. she tell us don't sit around and complain about things do something so i did something i devoted my life to making real the words carved in the united states supreme court equal justice under law. and 30 years ago i stood before a judge for the 1st time breathe deep and uttered the phrase that would. that would truly guide my career and the rest of my career camila harris for the people. the people that's why i represented his district attorney fighting on behalf of victims who needed help the people that's who i fought for as california's attorney general when i took on transnational criminal organizations who trafficking guns and drugs and human beings and it's the people who i have

fought for as a united states senator where i've worked every day to hold trump officials accountable to the american people. and the people are who gel and i will fight for every day in the white house and let me tell you as somebody who has presented my fair share of arguments in court the case against donald trump and mike pence is open and shut just look where they've gotten us more than 16000000 out of work millions of kids who cannot go back to school. a crisis of poverty of homelessness afflicting black brown and indigenous people the most a crisis of hunger afflicting one in 5 mothers who have children that are hungry. and tragically more than 165000 lines that have been cut short.

many with loved ones who never got the chance to say goodbye. it didn't have to be this way. 6 years ago in fact we had a different health crisis it was called ebola and we all remember that pandemic but you know what happened then barack obama and joe biden did they are job only 2 people in the united states died too that is what's called leadership but compare that to the moment we find ourselves in that. when other countries are following the science trump pushed miracle cures he saw on fox news. while other countries were flattening the curve he said the virus would just go away quote like america. so when other countries open back up for business what did we

do we had to shut down again. this virus has impacted almost every country but there's a reason it has hit america worse than any other advanced nation it's because of trump's failure to take it seriously from the start his refusal to get testing up and running his flip flopping on social distancing and wearing masks his delusional belief that he knows better than the experts all of that is reason and the reason that an american dies of covert 19 every 80 seconds it's why countless businesses have had to shut their doors for good it's why there is complete chaos over when and how to reopen our

schools mothers and fathers are confused and uncertain and angry about childcare and the safety of their kids at school whether they'll be in danger if they go or fall behind if they don't. trump is also the reason millions of americans are now unemployed he inherited the longest economic expansion in history from barack obama and joe biden and then like everything else he inherited he ran it straight into the ground. because of trump's failures of leadership our economy has taken one of the biggest hits out of all the major industrialized nations with an unemployment rate that has tripled as of today. this is what happens when we elect the guy who

just isn't up for the job our country and in tatters and so does our reputation around the world. but let's be clear this election isn't just about defeating donald trump or mike pence it's about building this country back better and that's exactly what joe and i will do we'll create millions of jobs and fight climate change through a clean energy revolution bring back critical supply chains so the future is made in america. built on the affordable care act so everyone has the peace of mind that comes with health insurance and finally offer a caregiver is the dignity the respect and the pay they deserve will protect a woman's right to make her own decisions about her own body root out systemic

racism in our justice system and pass a new voting rights act a john lewis voting rights act that will ensure every voice is heard and every voice is counted. the civil rights struggle is nothing new to joe it's why he got into public service it's why he helped to reauthorize the voting rights act and restore unemployment discrimination and employment discrimination laws and today he takes his place in the ongoing story of america's march toward equality and justice as only as the. as the only who has served alongside the 1st black president and has chosen the 1st black woman as his running mate. but as joe always points out this election is about more than politics it's about who we are as

a country and i'll admit over the past 4 years there have been moments when i have truly worried about our future. but whenever i think that there is a reason for doubt whenever i've had my own doubts i think of you the american people the doctors and nurses and frontline workers who are risking your lives to save others the truck drivers and the workers in grocery stores in factories and farms working there putting your own safety on the line to help us get through this pandemic the women and students taking to the streets in unprecedented numbers the dreamers and immigrants who know that families belong together the l.g.b. t.q. americans who know that love is love people of every age and color and creed who are finally declaring in one voice that yes black lives matter all across this

country a whole new generation of children is growing up hearing the cries for justice and the chants of hope. on which i was raised some strapped into strollers of their own and trust me it's a song you'll never forget so to everyone keeping up the fight you are doing something you are doing something great you are the heroes of our time and you are the reason i know we are going to bring our country closer to realizing its great promise but to do it we'll need to work organize and vote like never before because we need more than a victory on november 3rd we need a mandate that proves that the past few years do not represent who we are or who we aspire to be joe likes to say that character is on the ballot and it's

true when he saw what happened in charlottesville 3 years ago today he knew we were in a battle for the soul of our nation and together with your help that's about all we will when earlier this year i said. i'd do whatever joe asked me to do and so now i'm asking you to do the same so visit joe biden dot com to get involved in this campaign and vote because electing joe biden is just the start of the work ahead of us and i couldn't be prouder to be by his side running to represent you the people. thank you and make god bless the united states of america. to that is joe biden appearing for the 1st time together after announcing that they

are running mates on the democratic ticket in the presidential election we heard from biden there describing why he'd picked coming to harris saying she was smart tough experienced a proven fighter for the backbone of the country he said he promised to with her turn the corner on coronavirus and tackle the economic crisis and also battle for the soul but there's certain action would be a battle for the soul of the nation and he would both of them are defined america in one word possibilities she also explain why she decided to accept the offer becoming his running mate she described his empathy compassion and sense of duty in caring for others and they were both very keen to attack president trump both on his record in handling coronavirus and also what they described as his failures of leadership let's bring in mike hanna who's been watching this with us so coronavirus i'm just mentioning now and is clearly this is this of headline summers there that they are putting back their masks there in at this event which has been

a very different event from any normal situation where someone is announcing the running mate has an. oh indeed yes obviously in a time of pandemic social distancing in place that news conference joe biden has very rarely directly attacked president trump but all of that was put aside in the speech that he's made he repeatedly lashed out at president trump challenging his record on the economy and importantly most importantly perhaps his record in terms of are you willing to deal with the pandemic calling this a failure of leadership that has led to the loss of tens of thousands of lives so certainly. joe biden very hard on president trump as indeed was common who basically picked up on a number of points that joe biden has made in particular about the election saying this is an election that will change the country for a lifetime that this is an inflection point within american politics and

importantly that this election is not only about politics it is about character it is about americans designing the society that they believe represents them or rather than the society that has been created over the 4 years of president trump's rule so very strong words from both the presidential candidate and his vice presidential running mate this a significant moment a significant news conference no president has already attacked as nasty and that was picked up by biden who said that the response wasn't surprising said whining is what trump does best and that's what he described this as a talk us through how how complicated it is for these 2 harrison biden who were originally political rivals now to come together on this same stage and and have a coherent campaign together how difficult is that going to be for them.

well there is going to be difficulty in terms of aligning their various agenda there are differences in their approach on issues like climate change on issues of how to deal with big business but the gap is not that large that is one point the other point that yes you're quite correct there was acrimony between the 2 when they were both contending the presidential nomination for the democratic party but joe biden as actually in a way had a master stroke here appointing as a running mate a person who was bigger recently critical of him in the past now a couple of harris was very quick after she stood down from that presidential candidate race to immediately back to joe biden joe biden has a step forward in terms of making very clear by her appointment that he is not going to put some lucky in the 2nd most important position in the united states that he wants somebody who will criticize him he once somebody who will not stand back and just let things happen around her so this is

a very significant decision by joe biden which followed months of the search for the vice presidential candidate he interviewed 11 people all told 11 women all of them before nominating carla harris to stand as his running mate and that in itself is a historic occasion she's the 1st black woman to stand on a national ticket in the presidential election she is the 1st asian african american woman to do so as well so this is a very significant tickets number of ways and one actually is potentially exceedingly powerful we've already heard in the hours since she was nominated reaction from wall street by nancy is who have been donating to joe biden's campaign to the tune of 5 times as much as that. president trumps according to a number of polls we've heard from silicon valley where camila harris is very high

. regarded the technological firms so there is a real broad based swelling of support for the presidential ticket and certainly joe biden has got to going has got to traction going one must know as well is that the fund raising broke a one hour record shortly after he announced calm of the who is running mate once again you can see the impact that this will have on the presidential campaign perhaps some of argue joe biden has been slow in getting a and running but it certainly exploded into live with this news conference today mike hanna thank you very much indeed. some other news now and belarus where at least one detained protester has died after police crackdown brutally on demonstrations against the president the u.n. human rights chief has condemned the use of force while this year in year poland and latvia have offered to mediate but they warned sanctions could be imposed if the violent crackdown continues with them $6000.00 people have been arrested in
