this is deja vu news live from berlin the u.s. moves into a crucial phase in the race for the white house democratic presidential hopeful joe biden holds his 1st campaign event with a newly named running mate come along the senator from california is the 1st woman of color to run on a major parties think it also coming off. a human chain in the capital bella rose and protests against police brutality they come following president bush to change those disputed election victories. plus the sounds from

a bygone era. they almost disappeared forever but thanks to an online museum we can still listen it. our brian todd is good to have you with us today we begin in the us where democratic presidential candidate joe biden and running mate kaamelott harris have made their 1st joint campaign appearance harrisons the 1st woman of color on any major party's presidential ticket the event comes prior to biden formally accepting the democratic nomination next week. historic debut for the biden harris ticket even though the pandemic kept the crowds away the democratic duo campaigning in person together for the 1st time in joe biden's home state of delaware the former vice president called harris

a tough proven fighter whose background reflected the diversity of america. and this morning all across the nation little girls woke up special little black and brown girls so often feel overlooked and under-valued in their communities but today today just maybe they're seeing themselves for the 1st time in a new way as the stuff 1 of president and vice president harris is the 1st woman of color to be the vice presidential candidate on a major party ticket she accused president trump of bungling the coronavirus response and failing to confront racism and. 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. but harris and biden haven't always seen eye to eye last year she attacked his judgment on racial issues as she campaigned for the presidential nomination. it was hurtful. to hear you talk about the reputations of 2 united states senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country which characterized my position across the board i did not praise racist yet the pair now stand united ready to take on donald trump and mike pence in november it's a dramatic reversal of fortune for the california senator after

a disappointing presidential campaign donald trump is trailing in the polls and biden has signaled he could serve just one term but means harris could now have an inside track to the presidency in 2024. and william glue crofts you're the talk to us more about that he wants you william what was ours is core message in her 1st very watch speech i mean the message was as clear as it was obvious basically is ruined everything that this this administration has abandoned america through the pandemic through the economic crisis that's resulted from it that the united states cannot survive another 4 years under a trump administration under a 2nd trump term and that of course the solution is biden harris they really both of them really hard core democratic issues the economy and jobs climate environment health care especially in the context of the pandemic and voting rights and social justice which is of course has become

a huge topic in just the last few months the pandemic has pulled away a lot of the the problems that the united states have been facing for decades that now are really front and center and this is this year's elections have been the economy is figuring to be a primary issue in this election as well as the pandemic and considering that what will his role be for the next 80 days until the vote he's in an unprecedented campaign given as we saw in last night's event there was no one there so they can't really campaign night neither side can really campaign. but still the vice president role in the campaign is always to be a multiplier effect for getting out the issues for for meeting more voters that basically a campaign to do everything double with 2 people at the top of the ticket also fundraising when come out harris was announced to be the pick fundraising went through the roof biden had the bombing campaign had a record take in for a single day and also it's interesting what role she might play if biden were to

win joe biden very clearly said that he wants her to be what he was to barack obama as vice president which is the last person in the room for every major decision that's a lot of responsibility to give to a person it is and she is just one argued away from the presidency for a very old candidate joe biden 77 years old what what is going to be the response from the trump campaign donald trump is already already come out swinging oh of course i mean on top of the normal insults we hear from joe biden. about joe biden sleepy joe you know he has nicknames for everyone. donald trump is sticking with the divisive rhetoric the rhetoric of fear that has really characterized his administration and it's characterized his campaigning attitude he's really appealing to serve urban voters particularly women suburban voters who helped him win in 2016 saying vote for me if you don't your communities are going to collapse

are going to become poor they're going to become more infested with crime this is very racially charged rhetoric that he's hoping is going to help him but the polls show that those groups of people are starting to break away from him ok we have 80 days to go we'll see how this develops william thanks so much for that. pandemic guidelines have brought dramatic changes to the way the 2020 u.s. presidential campaign is playing out don of course the large scale rallies and close up encounters of 2016 well physical distancing also poses a logistical headache one reason voting by mail is in focus this election cycle but the mail in vote has plenty of critics concerned about fraud using this poll as more. over 2 thirds of the u.s. voters will be able to make their choice by either mail in or absentee ballot in the 2020 election more than ever before in the history of the united states this is

what this year's election battlefield looks like sounds ridiculous well donald trump has politicized mail in voting in absentee voting because he fears that this might lead to a great awarded her knowledge among democrats according to president trump made in voting is more susceptible to voter fraud even though there's little to no evidence for this he has already announced that he might not accept the outcome of the 2020 election undermining the most crucial tool of democracy the right to vote. he is unfortunately turning into a net ferry carrying figure and. he doesn't like democracy so much anymore it seems like so i think it's really important for all of us to exercise our right to vote and i'm teaching that to my children to know. how people want to exercise their right to wode looks different from many in this year's election due to the 5

. 1000000 tonne lapus a professor of creative pack university of connecticut and he has been teaching constitutional and criminal for decades i'd rather vote in person i'm used to doing that i've been doing it for 50 years but because of the pandemic i just don't want to go into a polling place where people are standing in line where i'm dealing with people who could be infected or i have to touch a voting machines other people may have touched so i'm very much in favor of the absentee voting this year at least. deca demick has a very different take from the republican president trump is being sowing doubt about the reliability of this year's election results from the beginning of his tenure. the biggest risk that we have is mail in ballots because with the mail in ballots called universal mail in ballots it's much it is a much easier thing for a foreign power it's much easier for them to forge ballots and said the man it's

much easier for them to cheat. the president's statements raise concerns that he might not accept a defeat and might try to remain in the white are concerns about even if the president doesn't refuse to leave it remains to be seen how its followers are going to take this they have already been primed to believe that if he loses this was an unfair election and that could easily lead to mass resistance even to violence in the street. the pandemic damages many aspects of life even the integrity of the democratic process itself. let's get you a look down some of the other stories making the news today the u.s. military has released footage claiming to show iranian navy commandos seizing an oil tanker near the strait of hormuz the ship was held for a number of hours before being released no explanation that according to u.s.

lukashenko penned the unrest on a disgruntled unemployed rump. to a suit would be a mirror of what everyone who is unemployed currently has to be looked after they have to be offered a job that's moved here it's the core of these so-called protesters are people with a criminal past on those who are unemployed see would be is that all. these factory workers suggest otherwise definitely are good to be left to use tell us more stand up if you voted for t. cannot sky the opposition leader a man shouts the room rises as one. elsewhere signs that trust in the system is running out. all markers help this man in orange escape the clutches of police. outsiders are paying attention to the u.s.

the classroom did have you visited a school in bonn to see how the mask requirements are working out there. it's a sight you have to get used to teach us that funky water looks out at his classroom to see a monster. this is class 68 pounds 53 he bought high school after months of homeschooling the new rules are meant to allow students to start the new school year safely. this is very easy. for me it's actually kind of funny to see the students after the long summer vacation in their different mosques and. it is on my feet that sometimes it takes a moment to recognize them with a new has styles and i'm like part imo right that's him or her that the. students have to wear their mosque the whole time they're in school. if. it's more

or less ok but you don't really see other people's expressions. and it's really difficult to tell if people are being ironic or something like. this one and then and hides i live in iran and platinum but i go to school in north rhine-westphalia and run a platen it there's no mosque requirement for classrooms but here there is and i find that a bit unfair. conditions. in germany coronavirus measures and schools to fire from state to state say far north rhine-westphalia is the only state that requires mosques inside the classroom following a spike in infections teacher stefan go to says the mosque rule is reasonable. how it is 1st in for i think it's sensible and important even if you have to get used to it no one wants to have to close the schools again after 2 or 3 weeks. finally it's break time students have 10 minutes to take off their masks to eat

their lunch. observing social distancing of course. see them kids it's a nice feeling because it's pretty woman stuff in the classroom here in the fresh air and can take on last south that feels good. the mass group here is in effect until the end of august school is yet to start and some other german states they will then have to decide what measures to take well what will those other schools be doing to find out was bring in our political correspondent for a good morning to you kate our other german states likely to impose the classroom mask rules for the children in those other states. where they all depends on how the situation develops as we heard in the report each individual state is responsible for deciding which measures they want to implement and many other schools around germany also already require students to wear masks on the school

premises but not in the classroom so we may see some changes in the coming weeks but that all depends on how we feel the situation developed hair in germany. how was the situation developing up until now the country's been keeping the number of new infections low especially compared to other countries but they're on the rise what's changed. well there's a lot of different groups that have been attributed to the possible to the increase in in the new number of cases here in germany not least of all the number of holiday makers returning to germany bike from breaks here in the country in from abroad and there's also been a lot of new cases traced back to family events as well but there is a large concern in germany right now that what we seem to be seeing is a lot of small to medium sized outbreaks and not the concentrated cluster infections that authours these previously found quite easy to contain so that is a worry for all forty's at the moment as to how widespread this is across the nation okinawa's new infections keep on mounting as they have been has the federal

government the gaited how it might respond. what we expect to see is a continuation of the policy so far which is a localized response and one state in particular that's received a lot of praise is down in southern germany in brevet in bavaria they've taken a very strict stance so far and had quite a success a relative success in hunger the pandemic but that could be that reputation could be about to be tarnished after a scandal broke yesterday after it was revealed that some 44000 test results had not yet been returned to people who took the coronavirus tests or returning to germany from abroad and some 900 of those tests were actually positive a lot of them believed to have not been from high risk areas so it's means that in the meantime many of these people could indeed have come into contact with other people and which of course could have huge repercussions in that area as ever

thanks very much for bring us up to date. in cameroon fighting between the military and english speaking separatists as killed more than 3000 people and displaced hundreds of thousands it's been nearly a year now since the country started a national dialogue to address the crisis but on the ground not much has changed did have you gained exclusive access to the front line of the fighting our correspondent blasi young traveled with cameroonian government soldiers battling separatists in the angle of phone areas which are especially argot. commerce and the forces i read interviewed a new front this suspected of being a hideout for the countries under foreign sympathies militias sympathies incomers english speaking regions was the quote of breakaway state they call. the often use abundant properties like these come. comer ensued is a tough recovery days surrogacy we started as

a street protest. but we're not in a state of war we're in a crisis where his situation what we have to restore law and order those men are our brothers who have just gone astray job losses on friday he's all but dead to go to. this is a corner at once very lively town now in regions fighting between supporters and the army has forced inhabitants to flee it's been like this for 3 years nothing in a tone is functional not even hospitals. soldiers and civilians are also from huge controversies here so just blame the militias for everything. as time has passed we've noticed the conflict has progressed. the separatists have launched a campaign against the population they carry out kidnappings and ask for ransom. demand and a long song. for the current army has been accused of committing serious human

rights abuses against the local population allegations it has repeatedly denied however so just a film bunny village is an attack in sea millions meanwhile hundreds of sympathies fighters have left the movement citing financial mismanagement from their leaders have brought. this moment to super just fighting for 3 years he has not joined a government and his 2 program. some of us have realized everything we were told about the separatist movement was a lie the leaders use us to make money for them that's why i started fighting. we leave you know we don't call for now we to immediately be. yet another town diverse that by fighting along this road everyone has fled. i do mean it should be security is always tight the commander tells us soup which is

hard to own comes just a few kilometers away. all the army a set up barracks like these across under a photo of a rude attacks on secession is still take place but army says their walk in had to contact is a tux. the army shows us weapons including explosives to see was seized from the separatists in another town deals hospital was blown to the ground so just a separatist point. for the act at least for patients died on their beds. and the local population is living in fear because i have the impression that the separatists are living alongside. their efforts are being made that they can live in an atmosphere free of. dollars in q 2 due to communist government see they are planning to rebuild their under 4 regions nevertheless it is still unclear how this

will happen we continuous fighting and destruction in the area. now we often report on that asian species disappearing glaciers and frightened habitats but have you ever noticed that once familiar sounds of also been disappearing and astute young german has and his fascination with acoustic obsolescence has led him to create a unique online experience. the sounds of times gone by a. few remember them. it's maddening laughs that. if i'm here on day x. and my project is conserve the sound and on my museum for vanishing sounds. he's already collected about $120.00 from the clatter of a slide projector to the well with a polaroid. the archive keeps growing all the time because all kinds of sounds are

disappearing from our lives. in state time job is in communication design he keeps some collectors items in his office the men take that sounds passed . close the true classic which you also find on our website is this rotary dial telephone. the 1st pick up the receiver. yeah it's some generations later it's a great little mobile phone. hindis. it's much less noisy and there's some tiny sounds if you listen carefully. we're still became entirely silent with the 1st smartphones where you swipe in silence. just getting confused. after a little post production the new recordings from the facts around museum pair on the consent of the sound website it's not

a money making enterprise that gets funding from the state and it could go on forever. there are loads more sounds you could look for and. it's a lifelong venture. actually the project to keep going for as long as there are humans producing sounds. can see if the sound is new t.v. and wonderful the cost in the present and for a half hour. now to the sounds of nature and markable encounter with dolphins and sunny southern california part of some $300.00 dolphins was caught on camera here datapoint they were part of a dolphin stampede that's where porpoising out of the water happens at a high rate of speed the method is the fastest mode of travel for dolphins because there's of course less resistance in the air than there is in the water the area is

said to have the highest concentration of dolphins. this is live from berlin stay with us for conflict zone with tim sebastian i'm brian thomas for the entire team thanks. good.
