1:03 am
a harris is the one that is now at the top of the ticket instead of himself. and it won't be about the past, it'll be, we are told about a future and about why she is the best person to lead this party moving forward. and why he decided that she is the best person to be the head of the ticket moving forward. so it is going to be a bit of a bittersweet moment. we understand that his daughter, ashley by then will be doing the introduction. we also expect that the 1st lady, his wife, dr. joe biden, will also be speaking. we also know that the 2016 nominee for the democratic party, former 1st lady, hillary clinton or secretary of state at one time as well, will also be speaking. so we are a tips of heading that it will be a very busy evening with a lot of high profile speakers taking the stage. all right, thank you very much. kimberly how hit following developments from inside the democratic national convention center. meanwhile, gabriel, as all new joins us from outside,
1:04 am
the conventional to tell us more about the demonstrations there and gauge. just explain the nature of these pro to us. is it quite a homogenous sort of demonstration? is it more of a collection of different groups of people who are you seeing that we're seeing a hey cross section of society, quite frankly. young people, retirees, and you're seeing christian muslim, a catholic from all different religions. and it was a really beautiful protest for the entire day and it remains peaceful. however, a small group, i want to say a few dozen, and then you have a few 100 more have actually got right here to the barricade the united center where kimberly is that we just heard from her is just on the other side of that parking lot over there, through this fence, this is the 1st security fence for the protesters got to they've reached a couple areas. you'll see a guy on top of the fence there. they've reached
1:05 am
a couple areas. it's all been pretty peaceful, but a couple people through a couple of water bottles and she says that they're being thrown. and now more police have been brought in here because people are angry, quite frankly. and that is what you're seeing is some of that anger, right? now, so we have a little bit of a stand off, i would say with some of the protesters you have reached breach this been just a couple meters down there. the police sort of pushed them back and now it's just really just a stand off. and that's what we're seeing. seeing a lot of people, it's mostly young people here. i would say a few dozen and then a couple 100 others just kind of watching from a side here. the main protest to march if you will, that we were covering the last couple hours. that was several 1000 people more than 10000. they actually have left here and they marched back to the other part. so it just give you an idea of what exactly you're seeing here. but we've been hearing for people saying that they are angry,
1:06 am
angry that this genocide continues to go on angry. that it is, there is no cease fire angry at the image they see on the news, particularly on social media, the young people, images of civilians being killed and gods. and so i think you're seeing a little of that anger portal over here. just a little bit as protests right now. thanks so much gabriel. on his on the let's have to john henry. now he's that are now the protests outside the convention center. and gabriel, just describing their sense of tension among protest as once the atmosphere light for you all john it's a dramatic con trash here i am at the poor people's army march. it's about to head shortly toward the united center. but what we have here really is a people speaking about the issues that they're protesting about a lot of the oxygen in his res gets taken up by the republican and the democratic presidential candidates. but there are other candidates who are out here talking
1:07 am
about the issues, and some of them are talking directly to the protesters. i have jo stein here, the presidential candidate for the green party and tell me why you came to this particular approach. yes. yeah, so as, as you can hear, going on behind us, we hear testimonies from people who have been marching for actually almost 2 weeks . they have march, almost a 100 miles coming from milwaukee wisconscin to come to the d. n. c, to basically protest for redress of grievances and that's what we'll be doing just in the next few minutes. but what you hear people talking about is the desperate lack of housing. many of the people here are actually on house, on the desperate need for health care, on the poor quality of our schools, on the debt that people take on if you're going to go to college or even technical school so that they can have a secure job and you know, not to mention that the military is consuming half of our congressional budget
1:08 am
costing your average american household now. 12000 dollars this year alone. so we have a government that bought and paid for by the biggest, you know, bankers, billionaires and, you know, fossil fuels, the war industry that are buying their policies. but what we're missing here are the things that every the people need in order to have decent lives. and one of the big issues you see a lot of protests here addressing is the war in gaza and on that subject. there are a lot of people here in the uncommitted movement who are out here industry to don't want to support the democratic candidate. but you actually have a position on that that they might agree with. tell me about. yes, absolutely. and there's been a very wonderful dialogue over the course of the past several months. in fact, because the air of american and unless i'm american and the students and all those who are really concerned about this risk genocide, that is on rolling on our screens every day. there are so many people. in fact,
1:09 am
the majority of americans bike poll after poll, want to end this one, an immediate diplomatic solution. and they want a candidate who will do that, who is not taking money from apax, who's not taking money from the weapons contractors and who can actually stand up and say, no, the war ends. now, prior presidents have done that for much less of a, of a, you know, catastrophic situation with far fewer dest dwight eisenhower. and then ronald reagan stepped up, they made a phone call and the war was over. so it's a, it's a problem of israel, but israel's, just a surrogate here for us policy us is paying for this. we're providing the weapons we provide the diplomatic cover. so it is entirely within our peer review to in this unbelievable genocide. right now we just have a couple of moments what i want you to address the frustration of being a candidate to close these views. i'm a lot of the people here, you know, should be or support or should name. uh yes, and i think the more people that find out from us, the more who become our supporter,
1:10 am
so there are many for whom genocide is red line. and then there are many people who have not voted in 2021. out of every 3 voters did not vote because they don't like these corporate candidates that are rammed down our throats. so it is a time of discovery. go to jill stein, 2024 dot com and find out about a people powered campaign that really can deliver what the american people need. well, thank you very much for just interested in talking with you just, i'm the green party candidate for president here. this is her 3rd run and she's hoping to gather support here and she is addressing the protesters directly very much. john has been reporting to us from chicago. the us secretary of state has revealed that israel's appointment. it says accepted a so called bridging proposal for a cease fire and gaza on to me blinking has been holding talks with benjamin netanyahu and other officials, intel aviv on the cell, who has moved from georgia,
