insides in moscow. shortly off of the news of this assassination attends on the former us president donald trump. we had a statement from the time when he's president lighting, who said that his thoughts impressed with the donald trump. he added that political violence of any form is never except since, you know, of democracies. this is a sentiment is really been shared by leaders across the stage and with the japanese prime minister streaming okesha to saying that we must stand firm against any form of violence. the challenges of democracies against similar sentiments occurred by the president of south korea. you insult y'all. he described this assassination attempt as a hideous act. interesting people say hardwood from badging capital. of course, with weight ship trump had many tens moments during his administration. the foreign ministry engaging saying the chinese, the, the shooting ping has expressed his conductance as to donald trump. joining us from washington now is clayton island policy analyst at the razor group think tech

welcome to d. w. lead is from around the world. have one of the threat to democracy posed by violence. lock the shooting. tell us, do you believe democracy in the us to be on the thread? i don't think democracy is on this right now. i think this is rather a symptom of a long running issue. and you asked, which is that basically the us is that the only major democracy that has a high degree of distrust among his own matters, it's very difficult for you to, for the us to run the election is not disputed or not how this under rio skepticism by at least a portion of the electric, i'm sure i think that this is also a magic of the increasing political polarization of division that we see in our country. i don't think that the suggest the democracy itself is at risk, but rather this is the most egregious and most obvious symptom of a long running issue. increasing correlation. are you talking about distrust and polarization? do you think this you're seeing on the back of that is going to change how politics

in the us is done? i don't believe this will change for policy studies and i think that this forces on each side maybe a little bit further into his own board, but we saw republicans and democrats alike. speaker, johnson and president bind does come out to condemn violence is sort of in every form. however, we've also seen comments that from j. d. vance in terms got that reiterate something's been more aggressive than to visit measure night messaging that we've seen and recently. so i think unfortunately, this pushes each size further into its own sort of partners in court, rather than bringing a moment of unity in our political environment. trump himself reacted. i guess within seconds of this happening, he raised he's facing the signal of defiance and strength. that's of course, really going around around the world. how do you think this quote impacts the upcoming election with the images for president trump raising his fist framed by an american flag over him, secret service agents trying to protect him? bloodied from this attack is going to be the defining image of the selection that

will be the image that is played ad nauseum when you discussed the 2024 election. what the effect of this was, the attack was, was to strengthen trumps position. she leads, binding in most polling is going to be very difficult for president binding to make up ground as this removes or no allies, democrats and major attack or criticism. trump, which is the, he was a threat to democracy. trunk can now claim very legitimately that the threat to democracy, the threat to our way of governance comes from both sides. some people like you, i guess, believe that it will benefit trump, but could americans perhaps fear a possible, vengeful president, an impossible violence, and choose not to vote for him because of that. i don't think that that's the reaction that you're going to see. i think the present troops approaches is claims of, uh, you know, the press of retribution guys is political allies were in place long before this attack. i think if that was a figure that was going to motivate their behavior is already motivated. so i don't

know that this changes the background dynamic. they can solidifies from supervisor space. maybe the on the not obvious outcome of this attack is also strange. president binds position witness party. the attack overshadows actually notifies any calls from with the democratic party and bind to step down. so if anything, i think the business that this attack it'd be effective, strengthening. so it binds position as the democratic nominee, but also trump strips and the overall race. speaking of president biden, he has called for unity. he suspended his campaign. what do you think we can expect from democrats in the upcoming days and weeks? i think for president barton, you're seeing exactly what we'd expect it. whether or not this attack occurred, present by the spacing increasingly, uh, sort of widespread calls with democrats who want him to withdraw. he survived those . he's built enough of a coalition to push back against them. we expected that he would probably go dark during the republican national convention this week. this really reinforces it by

not being in the spotlight. really helps his efforts to try it, sort of build up or repair his intro position in the party from other democrats. i think the only thing you can expect is universal condemnation of political violence in all shapes and forms to do otherwise would be to play directly into a republican messaging as was undermined. democrats, long standing message of composing any sort of political violence where the machine was quite an island from the rice and group in washington dc. quite and thank you very much for your insights today. thank you very much for having. okay, let's get a round up now of some other global news headlines. police here in germany say a shooter has killed 2 people before turning the gun on himself in the southwestern state of bob and foot and bag. the attack occurred in the village of, i'll start with altering and to others, was seriously injured. syrian state media report that he's riley strikes around the capital, damascus have killed one,

injured. indeed, as riley strikes, many of the casualties were sheltering and it designated site design, a 100 skilled anderson from the un agency for palestinian refugees in gaza. and ron was at nasa hospital with casualties with taken. i mean very simply, it was a scene of chaos. i sing of despair and a scene of not having enough a for everyone that needs it. master hospital was just re constituted not long ago after an operation, and con eunice of the hospital, this 38 emergency ballads and they already had 40 patients before the incident happened. so they were very quickly overwhelmed. almost another 150 patients showed up at the hospital. and as i said, it was just very chaotic on top. parent was trying to find children, children who didn't have parents. and it was very moving, but not necessarily in

a good way. what we saw the hospital yesterday was the clean up blood, the water because they didn't have disinfectant. so just a very difficult, very difficult time for everyone. scott anderson from henri, they're speaking to us earlier. well, here in billings that tens of thousands of football fans are soaking up the sun shine and a few b is before the final of the euro. 2024 championship spain, all the favorites. to lift the trophy, england got off to a sleigh stock, but have reached the final, the 2nd time in a row. i was just hours to go until england and spain face off in berlin's historical impure study on the times fill the center of the city to prepare for the match were small. this is amazing. like you can hear me now. i can still so fun and everyone's like, finally with each other as well as lovely me. it's super easy. everything to me.

span have probably been the most impressive side in terms of performance throughout this tournament. they look very solid across the board. i mean, as a nation, they're going in with 6 wins. no team has ever done that in the year or before. they're incredibly exciting to watch play. they play a nice brand of attacking football that could be so dangerous now with the ball or without the ball and it seems pressed them high, then they are capable of looking direct to their wingers that we've talked about. so often nico williams and young mas, incredibly exciting young players, they've had 9 different players score so far in this tournament. so they can be dangerous from all across the par. it's. and they've also had to be a number of incredibly strong teams in order to get to the final think of germany, france, italy pro is i have no idea what's going on behind me right now by the english man that really disagree with what i'm saying about saying, but that's okay. we can talk about in good now. yeah, let's talk about england then making it to the final a mid you know,

pretty mixed reviews. do you think these talented crop of players can finally win an international try for you? i mean, you said it earlier, it's about time. yeah, it definitely. i mean in glenn has been a very interesting side, let's say throughout this tournament now coming in, they were definitely amongst the favorites. they have a tremendous side with incredible talent and amazing that now they were a little bit lack luster in the group stages. there's been a lot of criticism for their manager during so okay. i mean, you name it and you've been criticized for it from squad selection to substitution the timing of substitution. but that being said, he's gotten this team to the final of the euro. and now they have relied often on individual moments of brilliance. but this is a very solid sides and they have the quality to be able to win this game. i mean, we're seeing that they can also fight through adversity come from behind score, last minute goal. and we can forget that they played in the last bureaus final. so

they have experience in this tournament, and they are going to want to win a trophy. and as the just fans you heard by me say before they want football to come home and they are hopeful that it will you're the day from done your best to learn different dw sports done here. thanks so much. thank you. watching dw and use, he's a quick reminder of our top story. former us president donald trump has been wounded in a shooting at a campaign, riley in pennsylvania, the f. b. i is cooling at an assassination attempt. authorities killed the suspected street and a spick sites, a full size more on that story on dw dot com and know now social media accounts. i think i'm going through some jared really involving. thank you for watching the life here, fuzzy and completely rand bizarre.
