to get their house from there. and david shuttle stops august 3rd on d. w. the timing could not be worse for us president job i early today, the white house said that barton had tested positive for coven. i meant no campaigning today. add that to reports and nancy pelosi and brock obama both possibly want no more campaigning at all by by. as the president's relation, chances appear to be dwindling. the opposite seems to be true for donald trump. last night his vice presidential running mate introduced himself to the country. j . d. vance is impact. seems to be so positive. it could be called the trump bump. i'm burnt golf in berlin. this is the day. the

by officially extend your domination to be vice president of america. my reaction to the chose, the choice was shock. more than anything. what can i say that hasn't already been said before? after all, the man was already the subject of ron howard movie. were regular man, regular life and regular wife, regular kids, regular mom, regular american awfully coming up at taylor swift brings her arrows world tour to germany. and according to the rule where you find taylors with, you'll also find tens of thousands. busy swift, these have music is incredible. she's like, save the so um, she's given us how she's given us. like are you using to go on her songs? motivates us and she's just an incredible person and i was having the hardware just

to see her anywhere. let's do our viewers watching on tv as in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome. we begin today with joe biden, under the weather and donald trump campaign, apparently over the moon. today the white house confirmed the us president biden is tested positive for cove. it is campaign events, at least for today were cancelled. but there may be more cancellations. ahead to titans of the democratic party from the us house speaker, nancy pelosi and former us president brock. obama have both reportedly voiced concerns that bite and may not be able to win re election in november against donald trump. their names added to a growing list of doubting democrats. and all of this is happening as the momentum for a trump victory groups. the latest boost came wednesday night at the republican national convention in milwaukee. when trump's vice presidential running mate j. d. vance, introduced himself to the country. the president trump represents america's last

best hope to restore. what if last may never be found? again, a country where a working class boy, born far from the holes of power, can stand on this stage as the next vice president of the united states of america . once the students proceed, could donate trump high and send it to g. d van smith, new room to doubts his loyalty to the former president. when he accepted the nomination to be his running mate. will kick last boy from the american hotline to drag himself down to pull the t. this is the message that he will take forward in the election campaign to win as a blue collar workers and says that protecting the needs of odin we citizens includes taking a tough $91.00 us foreign policy together, we will make sure our allies share in the burden of securing world peace,

no more free rides for nations that betray the generosity of the american taxpayer who's, who will mean supposed to be r n. c. so the trunk fence tickets. meanwhile, president joe biden is built another blow to his campaign and image as he is diagnosed with cove at 19 was on the campaign trail in las vegas. as he takes a step back from campaigning and returns home to recover uncertainty about his candidacy continues to build within his own ranks. california and congressman adam shift is one of the latest leading democrats cooling on joe biden, to step down from the presidential race consent over biden's, age and cognitive abilities of a shot during his campaign

a which of course of little make his se increases his risk of losing to donald trump in november. we did the use washington bureau, g. b. this whole joins me now from the republican national convention in milwaukee . good evening to you, eat us before we talk about the g o. p. i'd like to discuss this growing list of building democrats who publicly or privately don't think the joe biden can win against donald trump in november. the latest addition to this list is former president or rock obama. tell me, what did you heard today? yeah, and that's of course huge. i mean, uh, joe biden worked under the rock obama of rock obama into a button that was really close. and what we uh here is the brook obama only talk ones to president biden after his weak performance during this debate. but that the pressure from this in the democratic policy really goes higher,

that the former president obama also spoke of is a bite. and to step down of to and then to close the talk to him. officer hakim jeffries, talk to him, a representative of the house, and then of course, talk to him, or also kind of raise concerns to buy it and what not only lose the election, but might also be losing states like colorado or, or new jersey, which has been a democratic since more than 20 years. so the pressure definitely is getting stronger and stronger. and is how do you explain how quickly the opposition to bite has grown since that debate debacle. last month to me, do you think that the media, especially the u. s. media, do you think they've reported this story fairly, or are you surprised at the speed with which main stream media have reported by and as the candidates who won't be able to win?

that's a very, very good question. brandon, i was wondering myself, when i saw the reporting, you know, getting kind of more intense uh, per hour or sometimes of, to the debate. and, you know, that was a huge concern that people would not be tuned in into this debate because to known old white men running against each other. many people told us when we were traveling this huge country, oh, well, this is the most boring election campaign ever. and that of course, is not good for making money for the big networks. so i wonder if this played into the fact that they reported so intensely about a job aid and by then by to having that said, of course, this performance was horrible. and every single interview he gave off to god's couldn't really turn the tide. i was at the nato summit in washington following his press or he wasn't convincing there either. so joe biden just really seems to get

more tired by the day today the, the news and bite and testing positive for co that you know, you get, this is the, it was reported as another nail in his re election cost. and i'm wondering how would the story be reported if donald trump tested positive for coven tomorrow? as well. you know, as donald trump is in a totally different spot right now, i mean, he's just like on, i don't know on the top level, i've seen him ever or like, everybody seems to love him at least here. of course, at the republic national convention. and he doesn't appear to be, we isn't even off to the us as a nation to attend. he seems to be back in the game being strong. i mean, just minutes off. so he nearly got killed. he was raising his fist shouting, or telling his, uh, support those fight fight. so i think if he would be tested, oh wow, it wouldn't have it wouldn't be seen as like such a big thing for president biden as it is for joe biden. yeah, yeah,

exactly. i mean, it does seem like the 2 men that they're there, it's different treatments every you're talking at least about a virus this week in milwaukee. all the talk has been about trump, the candidate who dodge the bullets that assassination adapt. how does it impact the convention and trumps campaign? i mean, it's only been what 56 days ago yeah, definitely was dominating the 1st day of you arrived here on sunday and everybody was talking about it. and you know, there are many, many very religious people here at the r and c. and you wouldn't believe how many told us when we talked to them. but the lord all night the heads had something to do with the fact that donald trump is still alive. i mean, he got out of this stronger than he was before. we shall see how it is really impacted to him when he came here the 1st night when we saw him, he still looked very tired and

a kind of really thoughtful for couldn't say that we shall see. you know how this move in this really life best experience might've changed. he wouldn't be the 1st one would say that's true, that is true. i mean, he's not the 1st president to dodge, but one or to be hit by a boat. that's for sure. and then is there is trump spice press dental running, mate j the vance. now, i mean he's a millennial, he's the youngest person ever nominated to be vice presidential running mate. but it truck reportedly decided on vance just hours before it became public 2 days after the shooting. amazing. how do you explain this last minute decision making about, you know, his own running may? well, 1st of all, i think donald trump really enjoys having all the power in his hand. and uh, just to be able to wait until pretty much the very last minutes to announce who is

running made. i would be, i honestly think he just, uh, enjoy that. but of course, there were also like a checking out the pulse that definitely be watching very closely the bite and come pay is bite and stepping down or not. what is carmella? harris comes in or not. so these are all factors also coming together. and of course, i mean, as you just said, j events is super young. you delivered a fantastic speak just right behind me a year behind me last night and to use giving a lot of energy into come into the campaign. and it was also interesting, a brand new, you know, we talked to many people here before he spoke and they didn't really know them. of course, i've heard of him but weren't really familiar with him. but after the civil, just like so fascinated and all behind him he in many eyes just represents the american dream. so this really goes stone. wary valve is trout here in milwaukee. yeah, it's interesting. you say that is, you know, the american dream i'm wondering is j. the vance?

is he the golden boy for donald trump? does he guarantee that trump will win in november? it definitely will help trump um to get the younger voters. we also talked to many younger republican party members here in milwaukee, and t might also law donald trump to be a little bit more presidential to, to be a little bit more thoughtful to whole back to like with his decisive sometimes even toxic language. she could leave beds to is to be peace. but it, so be interesting to watch if donald trump is really able to keep up with the fact that j. devens is so successful, invite the really bending over the hearts of many a potential republican voters. so that's going to be an interesting dynamic to watch over the next couple of months. yeah, it reminds me what my grandmother used to say. there can only be one star in

a relationship. simple see which one tends to be the star in this? do i know you just said you've spoken to german lawmakers who are at the g o. p convention this week? are german politicians, despite their public worry worries about a 2nd trump presidency? are they preparing already the channels of communication between a trump white house in berlin? oh, they definitely are. you know, this is my 3rd convention i'm covering for dw, and i've never seen a so many lawmakers from you attending at these conventions. they don't want to make the same mistake. i stated in 2020 they already went to work kind of on, you know, keeping the channels open to the republican policy. i, for example, talk to you and spawn from the conservative german party said it was. and he told

me that there, that there are many, uh, you know, that the, that the say the warranty. and in particular the things that uh, there are many, uh, call me alert comments. its things to have in common, both parties. so this is something that people are watching out for, and they also have a chance to talk to mr. lynn keys, the co ordinator of the transatlantic relationships from the german government. this is the united states and he also was very frank. you said, you know, the united states are our most important trade park? no, they are very important for our security in europe, in germany. so yes, of course they, they are going to work or try to work with every government in the white house. and this is what they're doing here. that's a lot of networking going on. all right and, and final g questions after all, that has happened in the past week in this presidential race 8 is one. do you think biden's name will be on the ballot in november? and if not, who will be the democratic nominee in november?

so you know, this is the democratic party is small. uh, they uh, really will come up with a new plan very, very fast. and they may be able to take a little bit of the momentum away from donald trump and jay to events, but they have to be click on that for you to finding a solution that's totally open if it will be the vice president coming to harris. she would be the natural choice, but it's is she really able to compete successfully against donald trump? inside events. we will see bugs. i think the name will not be job either. all right, our washington bureau chief anus paul approaching the end of what has been quite an eventful week in us politics for both the democrats and the republicans. edith is always good talking with you. thank you.

and staying with that theme of concerns on this side of the atlantic, about the return by trump to the white house, there is a sigh of relief to nights. here in the european union, ursula find the lion secured a 2nd term as president of the european commission. now that's the use talk position. european parliament re elected fund a lion today for another 5 year term with a comfortable majority or election welcomed by many as a continuity of leadership. especially as europe struggles to deal with the war in ukraine, climate change, migration, and threats to democracy. we are working all together for a strong you're, we're working on the topics of prosperity and competitiveness in our economy, social fairness because we have a social market economy. we're working on protecting people. so security and

defense, but the most important is the over arching topic of strengthening our democracy. our democracy is under attack from inside and from outside. and therefore it is crucial that the democratic forces stand together to defend our democracy. what do you use alexander for knob and she has more now on ursula for the lions plans for that 2nd term as well. is it us one deny incentive for ourselves here and stress. focus a safe pair of hands. ready and eager to continue leading the blog so to load chose times. in her speech, she made the efforts to address issue is considered essential to the political parties supporting her like staying the course on the green deal, strengthening europe's competitiveness and the rule of law. and moving towards a defense union, her announcement on establishing a commissioner for defense is seen as a crucial 1st step to evolving the you into

a secure to extra. however, on that pulling over the phone, the line is likely to clash with the e. u. member states who consider defense policy, they are competency in the short term. her next challenge will be to pick her fellow commissioners based on that the only nations of national governments. only when her cabinet is complete. she can start working on delivering what she has promised here in the european parliament. in brazil, tonight, dozens of wild buyers are burning and the world's biggest tropical wet land. the panel is a rich ecosystem stretching across the borders of brazil, olivia and paraguay. so far this year alone, at least 7000 square kilometers, have been burned. that's almost 5 percent of its entire area. and drought has dried out more than half of the wetlands use latin american correspondent,
