dw dotcom ah, donald trump and the republicans who blindly believe his wise pose an existential threat to democracy and decency. that is the warning that went out last night from u. s. president joe biden, with less than 2 months until mid term elections. biden is calling on americans, democrats, republicans and independence, to use the ballot box to reject extremism. this was perhaps the most sobering speech of his presidency. joe biden held up a mirror to the american people last night to see a reflection in need of reflection. i'm forgotten berlin, this is the day. ah,

donald trump, in the major republicans represented extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic. bag of forces are determined to take his country backward, backwards to an america where there is no right to choose. no right to privacy. no right to contraception. no right to marry. who you love? mag. republics have made their choice. today embrace anger. to play thrive on chaos . they live not the light of truth, but in the shadow of light. i will not stand by and watch elections this country stolen. my people who simply refused to accept that they lost also coming up a new school year is starting in ukraine, but there will be no crowded classrooms. many parents have chosen homeschooling, the safest option, while the war rages on that his and her colleagues even set up proper classrooms

down here in the center. the rule is that whenever there's an error rate alert, those sent banks have to be placed in front of the window. but to our viewers watching a p b s at the united states into all of you around the world. welcome. we begin the day with president biden naming and shaming, former president donald trump and much of the republican party last night biden warned americans that the country is under assault by the forces of extreme loyalty to donald trump. he pointed to election deniers who were now campaigning to win political power in november's mid term elections. biden's message was aimed at those republicans and independence who have questioned or even rejected. the polemics of trumps make america great. again. republican leaders allied with trump accused biden of sewing even more division will have more on their response in just

a moment. but 1st, the president and what he calls the battle for the soul of america. i stand here tonight, equality and democracy are under assault. we do ourselves no favor to pretend otherwise. maggie republicans do not respect the constitution. they do not believe in the rule of law. they do not recognize the will of the people. they refuse to accept the results of a free election. they promote authoritarian leaders in a fan, the flames of political violence that are threat or personal rights to the pursuit of justice to the rule of law, the very soul of this country. they look at the mob, the storm, the united states, capital on january 6, brutally attacking law enforcement. not as insurrection is placed a dagger at the throat of our democracy. but they look at it as patriots. i want to be very clear, very clear up front. not every public, you're not even

a majority republicans, or might your republicans not a republican braces, are extreme ideology. no matter what the white supremacists an extreme is, say, i made a bet on you. the american people and that bed is paying off, throwing them from darkness. the darkness of charlottesville of cove would have gotten violence of his direction. we can see the light. i will not stand by and watch the most fundamental freedom in this country, the freedom to vote and have your vote counted and be taken from you and the american people both as your friends and i will defend our democracy with every fiber of my being and i'm asking every american to join me. what did abuse be killed like of? no, she is in washington and she also followed the u. s. president's address to the nation. well, it's an interesting timing. i mean, there's a one can say there's

a cynical view one can take, which is this is purely strategy, but it also is a political risk not to talk about bread and butter issues, about gas prices and not promising a further step to alleviate the pressure that ordinary americans are feeling right now, but then also it comes just a few days after donald trump, whom he remarkably mentioned several times, something he tried to avoid during the 1st months of his presidency. while donald trump issued his social media message, still denying that he lost the 2020 elections, calling for those results to be overturned, the rightful winner to be declared as thoughts, and at the very least, still, almost 2 years after the presidential election that saw joe biden when, without a doubt that's been dealt with in court here as well, for those elections to be repeated. so quite a remarkable denial from donald trump there. and he also implicitly put him on

a par with auto hitler. he didn't mentioned hitler himself, but he said that history did tell that completely following one political leader and being prepared for political violence essentially is something that is anti democratic. so a clear statement here aiming nationally also of course at those midterm elections, but also a message that america is back not just in terms of economic and political leadership, but also in being a beacon to the world when it comes to democracy, as he put it ah, let's have i to police in argentina, have arrested a man for allegedly attempting to assassinate the vice president, and it was all caught on video authorities say a 35 year old brazilian citizen was seen approaching vice president. christina fernandez de kitchena in gwinnett saudis. when he pulled out

a gun and tried to shoot her in the face at close range, fortunately, the gun did not fire. we have more in this report. this is the moment, argentina and vice president narrowly escaped an apparent assassination. christina hernandez was reading support on your own home when a gunman emerged from the crowd. he was with the overpowered by her security officers argentina's president. give more details in the tv address, getting up better money. christina remains alive because the gun which had 5 bullets in it. my did not fire even though the trigger had been pulled out. i couldn't see due to a reason as not yet being technically confirmed, yet ill take this is extremely serious. is the most serious instant this happened since we restored our democracy. the gunman has been arrested and his weapon seized . thousands of protesters have been gathering outside the weiss,

president's home for days now in a show of support as she faces a corruption trial. fernandez dans accused of defrauding the state of an estimated $1000000.00. while she was argentina's president from 2007 to 2015. she has denied all judges the alleged attempt on her life, a short up support for her eglinton. a beer christina is lice alice and then when he, i guess something happened to her when i die with her, i just can't believe it. it's really difficult. and we've got a bit of a bow unconcerned, but you know, men, the nation and rationally, i think there was always this possibility empathize. her possibly the most it is him will always exposed to where she was exposed. the almost i cannot believe the level of violence,

new york morgan. okay. are you in the are you linds here? police. the gunman is a brazilian national. but they have yet to establish a motive for the attack on joy. now from when his ard as well. d, w 's alejandro. when of o c o l a 100, it's good to have you with the video is shockey and it brings the question, how was this close call able to happen in the 1st place? do we know with a know, if there are many critics against it is there by the gars off the vice president christina keeps her. but a there of course, that oppositional leaders own and also supporters of the vice president are criticizing the minister of security of argentina unable fernandez. but nowadays we, we don't, we don't know a would really happen. but we know that there is one person that has been detained

a because of these attacks. and eleanor, what do we know about the suspect? she's a brazilian citizen. that has a, been a living in argentina, is since 1993 a. he doesn't belong to any political party, but in the social networks he, it belongs to a neo nazi groups or anti communist groups. and also he has a in nazi tattoos, a, his body and a friend of him is supposed friend of him, told a to the argentinean to be shown today that he was pending to kill it, vice president. but he hasn't rehearsed enough. so he has a, rehearse enough that means that they're clear on what his motive was and that they are clear that his intent was definitely to kill. the vice president does was this is supposed best friend of these it, it alledged attackers said,

but we really don't know now in the streets, as you can see here in the when the site is in the oven, you may avenue, and a lot of people are supporters of the vice president are coming here to support her to support the government or the democracy in argentina. here we can see those crowds there and the, i'm sure there will be a lot of questions, especially about safety for top politicians that will have to be answered in the coming days. alejandro, but also reporting in when it artist denies a lateral. thank you. thank you. very much, ah rushes estate own gas producer guess fraud has announced a complete stop to the flow of gas through that keen nord stream, one pipeline will to germany. and the company blames oil leaks in a turbine north stream. one was temporarily closed this week for what russia called

normal maintenance. now russia says more work needs to be done. germany remains reliant on russian natural gas. and it accuses moscow with cutting deliveries in retaliation for western sanctions. finance ministers from the g 7 group of industrialized countries have agreed to impose a price cap on russian oil. now the aim to limit russia's revenues and its ability to fund its invasion of ukraine. here's germany's finance minister christiane lyndon. he's up high school by grants. if it was this price cap on russian oil exports is designed to reduce putin's revenues, to close a major source of funding for this war of aggression. at the same time, he wants to contain increases in global energy prices, which will minimize inflation globally. yet the inflexion global, ah, there is more monsoon misery on the way in pakistan after weeks of devastating

floods across a 3rd of the country. more heavy rain is now in the forecast. the humanitarian crisis already includes some 33000000 people, many of them homeless, many of them in search of food. for the 1200 people have died. oh, this flood, but the town in the southern province of sind is already preparing for more shoring up existing defences. and building new ones with huge areas, still submerged authorities, a warning even more water is surging down river from the north of evie but not ag. bonnie, a b. b dold. more water is expected to flow to speak with what that is. we've been working to make and reinforces dikes since early morning, the gonna end up. we have been told not to read this down, but i we will save down it. ag ammunition. can you make a long pushing as madonna? but that will be an uphill battle authorities. a trying to evacuate people before

the new flood waters hit. millions of other pakistani have already fled their homes . now their left scrambling for food and shelter like here in the northern punjab region. 8 efforts all across the country have been hampered by the sheer scale of the destruction and extent of the need. we wanna, we have in displeased by the water for the past 15 days. we have lost everything. but until today, we had received nothing but with more flooding, expected in the south, and more rain full cost for september, the pakistan could soon be facing an even deeper humanitarian crisis. ah, it is a report card from the pandemic proof of the impact that the coven

lockdown had on us students. test results show that 9 year olds scored an average of 7 points lower in math in 5 points lower in reading when compared to students who took the same exams in 2020. and that was just before covered 19 was declared, a global health emergency and physical classrooms presence were shutter, the by white house is blaming former president donald trump's handling of the pandemic. it shows you how mismanage, ah, the pandemic was, and how the impact of that mismanagement had on the child and kids progress and academic well being of her students in ukraine. it was an even more disrupted at school year. many children have only just returned to the classroom since russia invaded back in february, just over half of schools are reopening for in person. classroom teaching our

corresponded. young phillips schultz visited one in the city of boucher. there's an almost festive mood at this school in the center of boucher, just like every september students all over ukraine, a heading back to class. but this year many i haven't seen each other for more than 6 months. an interval of war time. horrible. at the viciously we show him where i'm glad we can go back to school during such a difficult period though, i haven't seen many of my friends for a very long time. i've missed them so much. i just want to hug them all and see which so it would be at the ever seems to be normal. everything seems to be well protected. she know alice ma times till a little bit afraid. heritage al arissa says that only around 60 percent of students are returning. some are still abroad. the fate of others remains uncertain . larissa fled to germany shortly after the war began. in june she returned and

spent the whole summer preparing her school for watch an education. i'm unable on a stick and i really felt motivated when i came back. i thought i wanted the children to be able to continue their studies, who is still all worried, of course. but even if the war continues, will make sure the children are safe for the now granted, electrical was spread. only schools that have bomb shelters are allowed to re open . estimate suggests that only half of the schools in the country have them. it's where classes go during eric alerts in boucher teacher, students and parents all work together to convert unused basement rooms into a shelter that is and her colleagues even set up proper classrooms down here in the shelter. the rule is that whenever there's an error alert, those sent bags have to be placed in front of the window. but lattice, i admit it's probably going to be very difficult for the pupils to be concentrated down here which i was particularly hearted by the russian invasion the 1st month of

the war. almost a 3rd of the town has been destroyed. headmistress larissa hopes that students who have had traumatizing experiences will get the help they need in her school. oh, when you think we have to find specialized therapists. our own school psychologist has been heavily affected by the war herself talked of course, perhaps this may be additional professionals could help the parents of teachers and p program. wish them which allow for today the air rate alerts they off and the shelters in the basement remain unused. it almost feels a little like normal school life. but even the youngest, you know that this can change at any moment. across europe, teenage refugees from ukraine are attending schools in their new home to learning

in a foreign language at the same time finishing their ukrainian studies online. now they're doing all of this while coping with the pain of being separated from their friends back home. it abused terry sholtes brings us the story to night from belgium. the 1st day of school for many children, a time of excitement looking ahead to the new year and catching up with friends. but it's not that way for everyone. this day is full of pain and worry for 14 year old christina, behind sca, she's heading to class in belgium, but all her thoughts are with her friends starting their school year and keith. she was texting with one of them on the train here. and it hurts horrible. i just went all back in ukraine. and i went to all that stuff when it ought to stop. unlike the tidy classroom or waiting. christina, she's not sure how many of her friends in ukraine will attend school in person.

because it's so dangerous when will air alarm everybody you need, so go ah, under ground in woman shelters. christina will also complete coursework online at her ukrainian school after arriving home from her belgian classes each day. christina's english tutor, asana bolder, was impressed with her high intelligence and convinced her mother to come to belgium. so her schooling could continue during the war. full da, explains this goes far beyond improving the prospects for one student. i want to ensure that the next generation of ukrainians it will come on board, the be highly educated. we'll see how everything works in europe. so then ukraine has a chance for a better future bull to help to find a place at the barrett out. institute in maryland, which welcomed christina and other refugees with open arms. the schools doing everything it can to help christina and the other ukrainians feel more comfortable . they started

a class just for them to learn dutch more quickly so they can join regular courses . the director says as soon as the war started in ukraine, he had students coming to him to make sure there would be spaces here for ukrainian refugees. it's something we pride to reach with our pupils. so it's nice to see that they beg their responsibilities as young citizens and they are coming people who are all going through through a hard time still, even though she appreciates, finding safety and belgium. christina can't stop thinking of being back in case i ever it's i la starts. remember i wrote homeless in ukraine and have some quinn inside. and after a coal, my friends say, i want to work to you. i want to see i want to hog you. she's happiest recalling their classroom antics from february 23rd the day before the war started to have fun so plain and she dreams of how the next day might have turned out differently.

i want to lead say what is serial. hebron if i woke up not about i hear from my mom . christina woke up, we're started. i imagine what happened if she come to my room, say you have a math test to day, li units of oh the school and i will goods in my life. christina will continue her life. but these tests are not ones any teenager should have to face. but not all asylum seekers get such a warm welcome. amsterdam has approved a plan to temporarily accommodate a 1000 migrants on a cruise ship. more in its port. the netherlands is facing a shortage of shelters for asylum seekers. hundreds have had no choice but to sleep outside of a reception center or correspondence, christine manuel has more. this makeshift camp has sprung up outside a micro reception center in the netherlands. these people are here to apply for

asylum, but the facility which can accommodate up to 2000 people is to full to house them. so they're camping outside. this man recently arrived here. he told me he is stranded. no, ma'am, this is susan. susan. how long without a word known of nowhere to move whence asylum seekers are granted refugee status. many are unable to find a place to live and have to stay in refugee centers. but these were intended only as temporary accommodation for people awaiting decisions on their asylum application. in late august, this place made headlines when it emerged that up to 700 people was sleeping outside in poor conditions. it prompted humanitarian groups to step in. we are

here to help her her, we see that a lot of people can get the and medical attention they need. so we found our duty to come here and, and to help out. people are sometimes with morton, $8000.00 people on or one of the tents are laying a very close to each other, using same leg is et cetera. so all the skin diseases can go over from want to, we are very easily. the dutch prime minister said he was ashamed of the situation here. his government announced a raft of measures including tasking. the military with setting up a new camp to house asylum seekers. it's also rained in refugee family reunions and halted a deal with turkey to taken a 1000 migrants. again, it's incredibly depressing and also shameful that in the netherlands, such a well organized, wealthy country ravages, have to well be sleeping and living here in these conditions. this chaos here is

the effect, not because there's too many refugees coming. it's because there was long time of budget cuts and scaling down capacity for refugee protection. we especially have to take care of that. across the netherlands. are all different municipalities really contribute to show solidarity by taking refugees and at the moment in the netherlands, you see that some municipalities do a lot and other municipalities are well, they might take ukrainian refugees, but not people, for example, from syria of ganesh, them this is one crisis in one country, but similar and even worse scenes, can be seen in other e u nations. the european union can't quite get a grip on how to deal with migration. and that's leaving people who are seeking refuge, vulnerable for the day's almost done, the conversation continues online, you'll find it on twitter. you can follow me on twitter at brent golf

t v. and remember, whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day, have a good weekend. everybody will see right here again on monday with ah, growing fees in asia. so i've come to tie want to speak with foreign minister joseph lou. d, w reporter richard water. in taiwan. the bay is china following russia's lead and

the international gathering of peace and co operation becomes the scene of a horrible tragedy. arab terrorists, armed with sub machine guns, went to the headquarters of the israeli team and immediately killed one man. and that this will be the last time i saw in the night or worse fears realized tonight, they're all gone out. i witnesses experienced the terrible events and this, the world should not forget me. the long shuttle, the 1072 olympic massacre starts september, 3rd on d, w. o . 6 months off to war erupted in europe. there were growing fee as here in asia. the conflict could be coming here too. so i've come to tie want to work with a local team here and speak with foreign minister joseph woot, about the.
