the the, this is dw news live in from berlin. tonight us democrats dismayed and worried after president biden's shambolic debate performance vitamin donald trump with have to had 90 minutes of insults trump small tubs and the shaking, showing by the account. but many now question the vitamins decision to run for a 2nd term also coming up and radians are voting for a new president to replace abraham or easy was killed in a helicopter crash last month. one reformist candidate is up against 3 pardon lines and as millions prepare for pride marches around the world. this weekend we report tonight on health turkey's eligibility to community is planning to celebrate.

despite growing harassment by vs towards the library golf to our viewers watching on tv, as in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome. we begin tonight with the debate, dust that has yet to settle us. president biden's campaign is in damage control after thursday's election. debate against donald trump. democrats had hoped that the showdown would dispel any doubts about biden's fitness to serve a 2nd term. which day those doubts persist. but at an election rally in north carolina today by made it clear he intends to win in november saying when you get knocked down, you get back up to. but tanny get back up in the television debates american soul by deliver a stumbling performance and struggle to counter attacks and false claims that were

proved at him by donald trump. the 46 president of the united states jo by the president's loyal supporters, blamed it on a bad night. a head cold set his campaign. but many americans, especially those planning to vote for his challenge or donald trump signed by and what they've seen for a long time, a failure to get his point across under pressure. trump often appeared to struggle to understand by it. and rather than to disagree with all those people, the idea that they're gonna, i'm like, i'm proposing that everybody's a payment. so it's really there's a one percent, one percent. so know, and after i not raise the cost of social security for anybody under $400000.00 after that it began to make the wealthy began to pay their fair share. and how much for his part trunk focused on voters pessimism about immigration and the economy and claim things were better when he was an officer. we have the greatest economy in the history of our country. we have never done so well. every. everybody was

amazed by it. other countries were copying us from supporters were in high spirits after the debate in the 1st 3 seconds when president biden was speaking, my i was what happened to his voice. he's staring into oblivion and i've never heard so much mumbling it. was scary, some loyal bite and supporters were left looking for a silver lining, but calls immediately came for desperate measures replacing biden with a more capable democratic candidate on the optics. and by the last that on the fact 5 and one big. so you have to determine what's more important. you object your thoughts and i'm big on the facts on still like buying one the debate for me. but i know he looked at ro bite and agreed to the bay trim much further ahead of the november election. then as usual, in order to drum up support for his campaign, according to even some top democrats that plan seems to have backfire. i spoke with

catherine cooper, ashbrook. she's a german american political scientist. she's also executive vice president of the bertelsmann foundation. she gave me her thoughts on last night's debate, as well as was indeed a short night and it was a difficult night. i think for anybody who is just interested in the health of american democracy in the future of the country to watch 2 men struggle to basically articulate facts. one who was lying 30 times according to the new york times. you called it falls to it. i would call them live and then the other who really just struggle to get a sentence out to present to do the one thing that he needed to do in this debate, which is the same, lucid, to seem energetic and to seem anywhere beyond his 81 years and in that sense we watched, i think almost a dual failure, and i understand to get a better understanding of the state in which the united states finds itself and who might lead it into the next phase. and yet the fall out today has been for by the

democrats not for trump and the republicans. i mean, we've got calls from within the democratic party now for by not to run for a 2nd term. and is, is that the reaction? do you think that this is a proportional reaction to what happened last night as well? i think it just goes to show the anxiety in a race for which many of our conns cannot find sufficient passion to even consider coming out to vote rental your, our mind, you and the viewers that what we're talking about here is garnering the votes of 5 to 10000000 americans who are quote unquote, still on the fence and who are likely residing in swing states. and neither of those 2 men in that sense, deliberate, a convincing performance. but that's exactly who they were out to get yesterday. and you have a double risky strategy now to continue with this candidate, this agent candidate, clearly who seemed to struggle with everything, including formulating a simple sentence yesterday,

but also running the risk that within 6 weeks ahead of a convention, you might be playing with the idea of either an open convention which we had last time in 1950 to one broker convention which we had in 1968. both of them by the way, held in chicago. both of them ended in chaos and how you would position a new national can. did that wouldn't also look like you were perverting american democracy because 99 percent of those delegates that will show up in august in chicago branch knows our president biden's delegates. and how you would do that in a way that doesn't also hamper and hinder the functionality of democracy that is entirely unclear at this moment. so both ideas are risky, keeping joe biden on the ticket and trying to replace it and was 6 weeks ago in a convention. i mean, i know i was struck to dave a, tom friedman, paul crewman just in new york times writing saying that he should step down or that he should not run for a 2nd term. what's, what's, what are your thoughts on this?

if what we saw last night with mr. bide, what about if it's not old age? what about if, if there's a medical condition i've, i've heard some people say that maybe he's got parkinson's disease and if that's the case, okay, that's a disease, but there is no mental problem there. um, do you think that there's a fear that americans would not re elect a president to has parkinson's for example? well again, this is about finding those voters who are in such a tight and difficult election in such a polarized country and decided which is almost hard to believe that you have those voters in the united states of america today. but you do, and both of those call them this and others have called on dividing to do the patriotic thing to not mimic the supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg, who held on to her supreme court role. and literally until the day that she died and demand that a conservative moved into the supreme court and with all the decisions that came with it. the only way, by the way,

the fine by the look of the democratic party can photocopy removed from the top of the ticket, is if he himself decides. and one way would be under this idea that a president might be incapacitated to conduct his role in the office. those were things that were put in the d. c. rollbook in 2016. and as a result, by the way of hillary clinton's spells fainting spells on demand pain. so again, the decision and to keep running or not keep running is entirely 1st and foremost, jo biden's no matter what the pundits rate for as long as and then your times and the atlantic suggests that's a very good point and we've heard from bite and in the last couple of minutes in raleigh, north carolina, saying that he intends to you know, continue running into when again. so we will say kevin has been good talking with we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us tonight. thank you. any time, brett? or for the us supreme court has ruled that hundreds of defendants were wrong, to be prosecuted over the january 6 capital riot justices. rule that

a charge of obstruction requires proof that the accused trying to destroy the evidence, the only sum of those allegedly involved in attacking the capital fall into that category. the decision also cast out on some charges faced by former president. donald trump. irradiance had been voting for a new president to replace abraham were easy, you may remember he was killed in a helicopter crash last month. a voting has been extended the supreme leader in total. how many has called for a high turnout? i'm in the over solve the selection of the candidates with the leading contenders being 3 hard liners and one reform is i mean the voters are a worry about government action against approach as well. regional tensions are running high over the work in gauze on after 3 years of the brain vice, these hartline need to ship it on 61000000 more does once again have

a choice. stewart, a bore economy, western sanctions, and women's rights among the most pressing issues. right, so you put in a lot of efforts for the economy, but on the ground things didn't change much for the general public. and people were not happy about 20 of the time of the election the he job will be taken seriously. but when the vote is the things we'll go back to the way they was, the young people are not allowed to remove that head scarves. it's the to practically team of to bring the, the, i have the last, how many the towards a do make follower in eat on, but the eat on your president sets domestic policy and has some influence over foreign policy. oh, sure. presidential candidates usually a lie confessed, with a consultative, supreme leader or any but in an effort to gardner's support from

a public that largely feels a unique and destructive site. the candidates have campaign by public and criticizing the government. one of the presidential candidates is mohammed category above a former commander of the blue smitty guard. he has promised it audience to devise by going to me, which has been back to it by rest infections. we will definitely compensate for the gap between me and inflation rates and wages by raising your wages and providing you with necessary goods and staples in such a way that your dinner table will never shrink. and their, their leading candidate is se deleting the drug. and so this is the former chief new peer negotiator and wants to press the head with it on long standing in the western policy the solar reform. this candidate is doctor mas to the skin. he has been the most critical voice against them. indeed,

3 who job and the morality police. he also favors engagement with the west. how long the by the way we can talk to each other. we can also learn to talk to our neighbors and the rest of the world. and then we kind of fight everyone, we shouldn't fight, we should not show aggression to others. somebody human rights organizations criticize the fitness, afraid on interactions, and do worse and historically lower levels of what they're doing now remains a big challenge in deflection as well. just the media is very human rights lawyer and board member of the iran human rights documentation center. i asked her if any of the exclusively male candidates, if any of them stand for anything that could be considered women's rights. so yeah, i think this is an excellent question. there is a lot of discussion of these candidates. but the truth is that this election doesn't matter much in the end because really all the power is concentrated with

the supreme leader. we call when a and these candidates are not offering anything different that has happened in the decades prior. so one thing to note is that the regime is very concerned about low voter turnout. and so they have allowed, possess key on these somewhat moderate candidate to also be part of this lineup. but he's not offering anything different in terms of change. in fact, he was somebody who um, wasn't power at the time that saw her, that her causing me any run a canadian photo journalist, a woman who was taking photos outside of f in prison was torture. a key sort of over saw the medical examination of that that denied that. and so he has never been a champion of women. and i think that is really motivating a lot of young people to not vote. i was just telling you you're speaking with me

earlier. let's take a quick look now. some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. the 1st victim of kenya is deadly. anti government protests has been bearing a 19 year old motorbike taxi writer was shot twice during a demonstration on tuesday. the young activism has become a focal point for the growing youth lead movement in kenya. that is challenging corruption in demanding a political overall. north korea publicly executed a 22 year old man for listening to and sharing south korean k pop music in 2022. now that's according to a newly released human rights report. based on the testimony of defectors, the unification ministry, and sol said the north was stepping up efforts to control what it sees as the malign influence of south korean culture. one person was killed when a roof collapsed, at least in different on the international airport. the structure came down during heavy rains and high winds. flights were cancelled while emergency crews cleared

the debris. israel's bombardment of gaza has claimed thousands of lives. it has also created a waste management problem. garbage is piling up because there is now no trash collection. the strewing among the ruins of crime, eunice ly huge mounds of waste. rubbish is rough saying in the stifling heat, and there's no way of for it to go as well as killing tens of thousands of people is rails relentless. bowman of the gaza strip. has davis stay to basic services. the united nation says the trash is compounding jobs and suffering. one of the, my shocking things i'm seeing is just about 150 meters away from where i was staying those around a 100000 tons of waste piling up on this is ready to case now across the guise of

strip, there is no waste distribution. there is no solution to the waste distribution. the u. n. c's, israel has refused its requests to allow the main landfill sites to be emptied, meaning temporary ones are popping up with nowhere else to go. children, a living and playing alongside the drawing pulse of waste. the world health organization says it's a recipient for disease. it can lead to, to number of, uh, uh, also a company called diseases of theory and for several reasons. first is water contamination. so when you have a hot weather and you will have a lot of things on cation, the water sources can become more easily contaminated and, and that will a, that feel bring me. busy diseases like diarrhea don't, isn't guys of cesium navy a color outbreak. the you in estimates nearly 70 percent of guys is water and sanitation plants have been destroyed or damaged by israel bombs.

france goes to the poles on sunday and snap elections president emanuel macro, and called the vote in response to his parties. dismal showing the european elections earlier in this month. it is a gamble for macro on who hopes to see off opponents in the far right. national rally, but it may end up making a week or a record responded. sonya following the car has been speaking to voters in paris. it's just these to go before the election that could change everything in from your conservative mia. so far below is out can to sing voters in this fibrous neighborhood. many of them a worried about the surge of the far right and the possibility of the empty immigration nations rather than forming the next government. it was a, c, a. m, french of l. julian originated in missouri. easy, nice,

feel good here and i love and my friend zones in my home. but when i have to bad my back today or tomorrow and we use, i do use it back to us because there will be nothing to keep me here. given what the state and government are put in place to buy it for the 3, but i say it is okay. it's a very important election. i think you're really worried by all the populism in rabble rousing in the discourse, united mortgage, it's young to know the school, but it's not just anxiety about the fault, right. many of the french capital. angry at president mccall, he recently called a snap election following his sparky's, crushing defeat by the fod like nations ready, which took more than 20 percent of the boat in recent sharpie. next. the 16, this is your decision by my call isn't thought through. it's immature. he shot himself and a foot shot in the feet of all the french. don't i just put everyone into this impossible situation. i'm plunged everyone into

a deep mess. were all on the same mess on it was don't i'm got it. i'm supposed to be now headboard. i think people are just really fed up and deeply frustrated, given that under president mccord's 2 terms, we've seen an explosion of the far right. even though one of the promises of the president in 20172022 was to set up a barrage against the far right. b selections on about replacing macro. he said he remained president. the results could see the see. we can position. muscle faces a series trends from the far right that the marine depend and sort of done by the last one to limit to immigration and scrap nationality lights for children. born in fonts, a 4th and 5th. and the lines of both of these on the list called the new pop in the front. these come together in a bit to stop the far right. the high state selection is all

about this the make up of the french parliament or the assembly enough to nodded. behind me, the president lacrosse interest, spotty does not have a majority in there. he's been stuck trying to possibles, but it's unclear whether the snap elections would really change that situation. now that all feels of the far right could become stronger in there, but there's no thought he gets an absolute majority. like the opinion polls the showing, some feel is good. i'll show in even more political chaos in front. explode, see president macross gambled, old snap elections called back fire. heading the fire right? it's false. we have shot a governing funds and taking the country into uncharted waters. on a global level, as with in france, for the far right to arrive in power and such a major, this is the 2nd biggest economy within, within the european union. and this is one of the world's biggest ministry powers. it's gotten involved in ukraine. it's a both in africa, it's, uh,

it's as country that, that, that really, you know, projects itself will be on this board for, for it to happen in front. so anyways, if you know, see a bip seismic event time for some last minute campaigning. some of these vote would offer a clearer picture of where fridge politics is headed. there will be a 2nd bonus voting off of this one. and that would show friends this indeed in for the political a, squeak as millions wheel marching, pride parades and many cities. this week, any countries around the world but not in turkey, where over the past decade fried marches have been banned for his president, richard tire. bear to one has vilified gate and trans people and mountain many in the o g b t q, community figure that things can get even worse. the www is julia hod reports tonight. it's still early in the evening and audible is by is preparing for her 1st guess. she runs one of the few remaining queen nightclubs in

east a safe space. as she calls like, everyone can be who they want to be. the beauty q community has never had it easy and happy. recently, many of felt increasingly targeted, tells me if they didn't give you again, if you conway what you want, you constantly have your mind to a sexual orientation. look or in front of find the help of i don't social media, there are people who attacked you and call you a pub to a free. they constantly and still fear in you. they want you to be afraid. in colquitt, us little. let us look like one of these few laws of time for years now, other has seen growing hostility towards the community. although homosexuality is not a needle in turkey, authorities of sand prank demonstrations and major cities since 2015. those has to take to the streets. risk police violence and detention once again this year will

forward, he's his band be a simple pride march and the police are preparing for a major operation. barricades like bees already for use all over the city center. the message is clear, protests won't be tolerated. he took his president ridge of ties of ad one and his routing it slow me conservative. a k potty has toughened their stems against eligibility to people in recent years. supp good. the supp book of these groups were the biggest supporters of demand and perverted behaviors relative and to fundamentally undermine our social structure. sure, can you probably understand what i'm talking about? i'm new l g b t a good image. we will not allow them to corrupt our usages. so add one homosexuality is a threat to for additional family values. the insist that marriage can only be between a man and a woman and says women should have multiple children to build the nation. in this

conservative face to move neighborhood, many share these views and some even feel encouraged to say. so i'm talking about doing this. i'm on from is lot mac perspective. it's forbidden the number. as soon as i'm personally, i don't want our young people that are children to see that often was not. that's why i'm against the county be to the college she me on the let me give it to study guides like i support them. i don't see any problems. i have very good friends who are gay, almost all you know and doesn't work that way. how can 2 women or 2 men be together? that can't happen all mazda 100 c attitudes that are both by and her friends are repeatedly confronted with. but they don't want to hide here at the club. the dream of a turkey that if tolerant she does this with every one is accepted just as they are . well, i spoke with melina booty and she's a senior campaigner with amnesty international. i asked her why patricia as

president, constantly targets the eligibility team community in his speeches as well. that's a really interesting question. i wish you would be able to have an interview with the president and ask and not particular question directly. i think the victimization, the targeting, the stigmatization of an entire group of people, and in particular eligibility i and the communities in turkey has a very specific purpose. in the last 10 years. specifically, we have seen an increase in the stigmatize a. it's in which a annual report and also a tech. so the question of trying to consolidate the very conservative phase for a like, for the purposes buying, mobilizing, and the, the sort of intolerance, discriminatory and base feelings in society in order to potentially

also diverge from other issues, other problems, other questions that the country is facing a much bigger problems and stigmatizing at a small, relatively small group of people who serve that political purpose. i suspect that there is a bit of that going on towards these. now, in germany, take on denmark, you the knock out stage of football, 02024. competition on saturday and if booby the elephant is to be believed, the germans will emerge victorious the elephant oracle as she's now made her choice by kicking a ball towards the goal. in her enclosure she scored 1st for denmark, then notched up too for germany. and if you don't task for judgment, i did not write that. let me point out that booby has correctly predicted all of germany's games so far. and i mean, why would you not trust and elephant?

sorry, just a reminder of our top story. this. our us democrats are scrambling to limit the damage over j. barton's kilobytes debate against donald trump despite trump's insults and fault swords, biden's stumbling in his bad performance, spink's e mail. as a major setback for his re election campaign, you're watching the w news in berlin after a short break. i'll be back to take you through the day tonight, the us presidential debate. it was banned for by but wasn't so bad that he should drop out of the race to be right back the,

the soul of america. and certain much more than just a result. this is where a real cowboy is me and people are in touch with their roots. living the american dream, the mississippi river. surprising, legendary. in 45 minutes on d, w, the

i imagine that you're eating a hamburger. and as you're biting into this juicy burner, your dining companion says to you, actually that hamburger is not made from cows. it's me from golden retrievers. 2 2 2 2 2 2 in meeting cultures around the world, people learn to classify small handful of animals as edible and all the rest they classify as disgusting. a donkey series about our complex relationship with animals need to be watching now on youtube. d. w documentary. this shadows, these costs and video shed lights on the dog is devastating. colonial har is infected by germany across up, and he employed to score those farms and destroy lives. what is the legacy of this

wide spread races, depression? today? history. we need to talk about here, the stories, shadows of german colonialism on thursday night, you as president by the informer and you as president trump faced off in their 1st presidential debate of this campaign. trump, at least a barrage of entrance one after the other. there was no fact checking not from the moderators and not from president by me. either. why not last night? was definitely not one of biden's bets, but it wasn't so bad that he should stop running for re election. today without being asked directly by delivered a clear answer. no. i broke off in berlin. this is the day the.
