6:18 am
a chance that even when we don't agree with each other, we can find a way to live with each other. that's almost vision. that's in the vision. that's the democratic parties, vision, and our job over the next 11 weeks is to convince as many people as possible to vote for that be it now won't be easy. the other side. no. it's easier to play on people, spears and sentences. smallways has been they will tell you that government is inherently correct, that, that sacrifice and generosity are for suckers. and since the game is red, that's okay to take what you want and just look after your own. that's very easy, but we have
6:19 am
a different test. our job is to convince people that democracy can actually deliver and and in doing that we can just point to what we've already accomplished. we can just rely on the ideas of the past. we need a chart, a new way for me to meet the challenges of today. and kamel understands this. she knows, for example, that if we want to make it easier for more young people to buy a home. so we need to build more units and put away some of the laws and regulations, the working people in this country better bit priority, and she put out a boat. and when did you just the one? how do we should all be proud to be enormous progress we've made through the affordable care act the people who
6:20 am
put 13000000 more with unscrupulous insurance practices. notice by the way the fence is become popular. they don't call obamacare no more. but the only thing i'll just say will be bring you my company to day 2 of the democratic national convention in chicago in the state of illinois, which is a true blue state. so a lot of very receptive people and the whole we've just heard from the 44th president of united states bought a car. bama has been talking in support of campbell harris, the vice president, who is the nomination. the know many for the democratic candidate for the presidential race in november. he was talking a lot about joe bite and he started off with that because he was joe biden served as his vice president. for 8 years, you'd be talking about what he saw as by his qualities during those ages. he talked
6:21 am
about the fight for the close selection that he sees that that is going to be coming up. he's been criticizing a donald trump. he was then talking about pamela harris and her or her plans and proposal as far as what should be bit put in place for the economy and for people in the event that she becomes a president. i want to bring in. kimberly hawkins. she is inside the convention venue in chicago, perhaps not surprisingly, bought a car bama and his wife before him. michelle obama getting a kind of rock star reception as they turned up it is worth reminding people, i guess that's monica obama has had a political friendship with campbell, a house since about 2008 when she was supporting him back in the primaries. so it's perhaps no surprise that he has been so supportive of her in this campaign. yeah, and it's not a surprise that rock obama is getting such a warm reception here in chicago. not only is he the headliner of this event and also one of the major stars is the democratic party. but this is his hometown
6:22 am
chicago, and this is the hometown of his wife, michelle obama. also a star as the democratic party in her own rights ed bronco bob has since he 1st onto the stage 20 years ago this summer in boston, 2004 when he was hardly know. and he has remained kind of an ideological pillar of the democratic party continues to really contribute to that heavy way. and it's really important to know that as he continues to kind of lead the party and lead it forward, even as he's served, visits, president and beyond, he has a sort of continued to steer and he left the with a loud applause with this slide when he said we don't need 4 more years of lustre and chaos. we see that movie. we all know the sequels that even worse, referencing the 4 years that donald trump was in office coming after his own term
6:23 am
in office. and we should also mention when it comes to the star power, whether it's brock obama or michelle obama. there has been a number of celebrities that have been here this evening. a sort of campaign on behalf of campbell, a harris, whether it's been actors, musicians, directors, they have all come out and the democratic party has employed all of them in order to kind of make the point that the democratic party has celebrities at the there as b has able to draw them whether it's for fundraising or whether it's campaign in order to get their message out. and they've actually called them their trusted messenger. so they will be employing them for the last $78.00 days as they try to win the white house of health. cala harris in her campaign that we should point out is only one month old. one of the things, one of the things that i'd be noticing over the last couple of days is that people
6:24 am
keep coming back to the fact that this is going to be a close race. nobody seems to be making any assumptions about what's going to happen in november of course chaise perhaps, and back in 2016 when the democrats at the time when hillary clinton lost the election, were accused of having being a bit too complacent. assuming that she was going to walk it over donald trump, that's right. and uh, in fact we heard barranca obama say that just moments ago. he said look, it don't take anything for granted. this is going to be a close race. what i can tell you though, having watched these races now since 1998, when i moved to the united states and canada is one thing that never seems to lie, is crowd size ads. in fact, we laugh about it. brock obama also made a joke about it, about where to go about how to all trumpf seems infested with crowd size that got a big of flaws just a few moments ago. but the truth is, is that you can judge by the numbers that it's standing room only in this room
6:25 am
right now. and that's usually a pretty good indication of how things go when the room is empty. the people don't show up at the polls on voting day. and right now there is tangible energy. now look at uh, a lot of the time when you ask these people why they're voting for carla, they can't actually say what they liked about her policies. would you look at her website? it's pretty said when you ask what she's done as vice president, the can't really name something specific, but yet there's subsidies they'd like to buy her. there's an energy and enthusiasm of a shell. obama said, but many have said they haven't felt it a long time, and that's what she's tapped into and that's what seems to be motivating people to support her. kimberly, thank you very much. indeed. that is, kimberly hawk a talking to us from the convention venue in chicago. you know, both as showing solidarity with palestinians have been taking place for a 2nd day. is democrats gather for the national convention. demonstrators have
6:26 am
gathered outside b is really conflict in chicago. the burns, the is really and us flags. there's been a heavy police presence and several, the rest to be made on monday to test as booked through the security friends around the democratic national convention center. john henry is up before testing. so this update basically use are moving the crowd, ford. they've pushed out on the other side and made a number of arrests of demonstrators outside the is really constantly here the crowd pushed against the police and the police are now pushing back. office workers are watching the confrontation in front of the as really conflict. and as the demonstrators regroup over, their lease here are holding their line. they've already pushed back the protesters and they have control of the other end of the block. and if those protesters push forward here, you can expect this police to do what they've done before and to push them back. john henry and l g 0,
6:27 am
chicago. the time is of the essence. that's what the us secretary of state onto the blanks who's told reporters and cuts out what he ended, his latest regional tour to push for the cease fire in gaza banking size. israel's accepted a so called bridging proposal, and he says he'll do everything he can to get homeless on board on this all who has the latest from jordan's capital. and the reason she's there is because these really government has bind, i'll just data from reporting inside israel in his 9th trip to the region since israel's war on guns that began us secretary of state anthony, blinking made a last ditch effort to secure a ceasefire on tuesday he landed in egypt where he sat down with president. i've been for the ashes, see, see, the egyptian leader warning of the growing danger of a wider regional conflict. and finally,
6:28 am
to the cost of the capital to consult with the officials there. before leaving doha, blinking once again stress the importance of getting a deal over the line. time is of the essence because with every passing day, the wellbeing and lives of the hostages are in jeopardy times of the absence. because every single day when children, man and god are suffering during his trip to israel, blinking said prime minister benjamin netanyahu agreed to the so called bridging proposal presented by mediators last week. a proposal from us says has added is rarely conditions. he's basically speaking as an advocate for uh, for israel. he's trying to put the onus on him this. he's trying to suggest this is a good deal and he's down playing all these new conditions which are catastrophic
6:29 am
for the, for the pallets that these really premier has also since told family. members of the captive held in gaza that he is still not sure about the possibility of a deal chemist as the latest proposal is a reversal from the original framework outlined by us president joe biden, back in may. and as blinking wraps up, his latest round of shuttle diplomacy in the middle east, more talks are expected in cairo's later in the week. but a ceasefire deal is still nowhere in sight. how does that hoot jersey at all? i'm a as well father, us as diplomatic efforts on gathering, pacing, he's really attacked on the ballot and central gaza has killed at least 9 palestinians. the number of dead is expected to rise. injured, palestinians were brought to a likes a hospital less than a kilometer. it away from the side of the attack, it happened in a busy area that leads to a market in the city. and there's really a talk on the school in gaza where hundreds of palestinians have been sheltering as
6:30 am
killed at least 12 people. most of them, women and children, emergency crews have been searching for survivors with dozens of people believe to be buried under rubble from a collapse building. the civil defense says 700 punished indians were in the school west of guys. the city is really on the claims that targeted to come on center used by palestinian fighters and the school and israel's recover the bodies of 6 captives in garza, a group representing captives. families says this provides them with necessary closure, but they're arguing these many governments to immediately reach a deal that would release the remaining 109 captives still being held. and these really armies released this video and the recovery operation that says it finds the captains bodies in a tunnel under the southern city of con eunice on monday. and that it's air force strikes may have caused some of the depths. now the news, the world health organization is tracing the impulse is not the new quote because authorities know how to control it.
