the the, this is dw news line from berlin. us, vice president campbell harris kicks offer campaign to become president per big to win the democratic party nomination is gaining momentum with more endorsements from democratic leaders. also on the program called in the crossfire the lebanese civilians forced to flee their homes in the south to avoid the bombs and missiles from israel and has fuller. and in bengal, dax, the curfew is being lifted, but soldiers are still on the streets. after weeks of violent protests, we ask if tensions are still public beneath the surface

the . i'm michael roku, welcome. we start in the united states where vice president campbell harris has hit the road with our newly minted campaign for president. she held her 1st rally in wisconsin, which is one of the swing states key to beating republican donald trump. in november, harris's trip came after president joe biden ended his re election campaign and endorsed her on sunday. the camelot harris arrived in wisconsin with her party uniting in support of her sudden candidacy for the presidency. so wisconsin, i am told as of this morning that we have earned the support of the mess delegates to fix your the russo tech,

donald trump seeming to relish the clash of personalities with the man. she'll probably face on the election day before i was elected vice president before i was like the united states senator, i was elected attorney general of the state of california, and i was a court room prosecutor before them. and in those roles, i took on perpetrators of all time predators who abused women, fraudsters, ripped off consumers. cheaters who broke the rules for their own game. so hear me when i say, i know donald trump's try. republican lawmakers took aim at harris, highlighting the economic disruptions from the cove at 19 pandemic and russia's invasion of ukraine, which came during biden's tenure. remember,

both of the persons running for president now have a record. they have both served in an administration here in the last, within the last several years. so you can compare how you and your family were doing on the 1st drop of ministration and how you and your families are doing now. nobody said there was a trump himself, did not mention harris on tuesday instead discussing last week's attempt on his life in a fox news interview together with his running make j. d. them. but harris will shortly be back in the spotlight on wednesday. or that's when job i didn't. now, back in washington after ending his cove itself, isolation is due to address the nation on his decision to drop out of the race in favor of his vice president william glue. croft is a political analyst and deputy editor of the poem at magazine in brussels. he told us what he made of campbell harris's 1st campaign. really. good morning,

michael. good to see you. and you know, it was in many ways a very by the book standard campaign event that you would imagine um, despite all this talk of how 2024 is, you know, the make or break moment for american democracy. she really focused on his bread and butter issues that had been democratic style awards for decades. you know, health care, women's rights, gun control, you know, helping a prosperous middle class these, these talking points that we hear time and again and every presidential cycle. yes . couple of harris talked about donald trump's criminal troubles. yes, she does. and she touched on. i am trying to uh, you know, steal the election in 2020, basically. and we heard this line that i think bring in here and get here over and over again about how she knows donald trump's type, given court prosecutors a background. but most of that had a dress which was met with great you for you in the audience? locally in milwaukee wisconscin. we're just basic stump speech. unfortunately, very light on, on the substance as these kinds of speeches are,

we don't quite know what a harris, his plans are to see all these things through, but met with great energy from the audience. you said light on substance talk to us about the divisive issues. she'll have to handle issues that many feel her predecessor, in this campaign, joe biden didn't deal with effectively, for example, the war and gas. it comes to mind a yeah, it has to come to mind because this week, almost you, you almost can't make this stuff up right. benjamin netanyahu was in washington to give a joint, an address to a joint session of congress to meet with joe biden. coming to harris is actually not going to be meeting with him. she is keeping with 2 a what the white house, the set is a longstanding commitment to an event in indiana. but apparently she will be meeting with ness know privately and people on both sides of the issue are waiting and watching and looking very closely for signs of any difference in harris's position from joe bite. and joe biden is a stalwart,

a supporter of israel. he has called himself a scientist in the past, and harris has been a little bit more muted a she doesn't have that same connection to israel that joe biden does. and especially people like in michigan were of this so called uncommitted vote has really taken a hold, were all large air of american community and their supporters. art has really protested joe biden, they're waiting to see what's coming on. harris has to say she is on record for showing a bit more sympathy to the palestinian polite in gaza. i'll be at it's a low bar, i guess, and us politics to show that kind of a, that kind of humanity and, but at the same time, she's also been a strong supporter of a pack. she has spoken at summit's for the american israel, a community there and the lobby group. so it's a really wait and see moment on those kinds of issues. it's also a bigger question of how much an issue like that plays into the larger role of who

you might be voting for in the fall if that's really an issue that america, that most american voters truly are energized about 1000000000, well, less than a minute. but if you listen to the reporting from the us, this lightning quick transition from bite into harris as injected, renewed energy and the democrats. but there are observers who say they might have been better position with some kind of contested nomination process. yeah, it's a risk. it certainly is like, on one hand, the party needs to coalesce quickly run a candidate because there's not so much time by the standards of american politics . but the other hand, it could look like what people are calling a coordination, which might turn people off in a democratic system that someone has just hand to pick the door. it seems to be a state a complete. and also that she's not tested, right. she ran 2020 not a great campaign issue really ready for prime time, so to speak, to go up against donald trump. so these are the risk that, that the democratic party are taking, as they call it less, as i say,

around the colors. right? that is a political analyst, it will include croft as ever many thinks really some breaking news that we should mention. a plane has crashed during take off in paul with at least 5 people, confirmed data. according to a local newspaper. the domestic fly was traveling from the capitol cap on do when it's reported to have slipped off the wrong way. 19 people including crew on board at the time of the accident, the net police military who were attending their c instead. rescue efforts or ongoing a brief look now at some of the other stories making news around the world as we speak to. wrench will rain and flooding has hit the philippines in typhon gaining barrels past on its way towards taiwan. the countries, natural disaster agency says at least 8 people have died and 800000 more have been effective by a store. the philippines stock exchange near manila suspended trading,

a less support for 11 ons hezbollah group, which is backed by a rock and classified as a terrorist organization by germany. let's get more on this from dw, as political corresponded on your career to what led to the decision to finally band. there's organization on you, stephen. no, sir, it is already had an eye on the center for more than 30 years now because it re presents the fundamental list ideology of the rang and we'll our regime. so argued the office for the protection of the german constitution last november, a search of 55 properties of the organization was conducted. and this provided evidence which was the basis for today's band at the atlantic center. hamburg is considered to aggressively and militantly spread the ideology of the

rang and revolutionary leader pursues unconstitutional goals. statement of germany's interior minister and then sci fi, as i said, with our a t suspect, the center to try to establish a nation wide structure with the intention to dictate the direction of the religion. and that at the cool is aggressively anti semitic and anti democratic. how exactly do german authorities link the center to is womic history of this propaganda pushed by tyrone, specifically in the center is considered an outpost of t wrong. that is bound by instruction and the strong suspicion was um, was uh, strengthened by uh, a chance uh found, uh, one of the moms of the blue most come book had been controlled at frank for the airport

a few years back. and he carried documents that linked him to the iranian molar regime. the interior minister wrote in the statement that the sent a sold to bring about an ceramic revolution in germany. but nancy has an editor of the same time. she wanted to make clear that this spam absolutely does not apply to the peaceful practice of the she religion in germany. our thanks the dw political correspondent on your career, the many, many thanks. let's go back to that previous story now about trouble in the lab, and now i know our connection has now been secured. let's get more from guido steinberg. he's the middle east expert at the german institute for international and security affairs. he joins us from berlin, quito. we've just heard in that report that has the la is ready for a full scale war from your perspective is it was a, i think that his paula is trying to decode is really, is because that has been

a deep agent, is really going on since the portfolio and his father started attacking these really north, whether israel shouldn't start the preventive war and the main, the main personality arguing for such a war has always been the defense minister. you are scott, and i believe that his ball i is extremely worried about the recent news that this debate has been started a new intel of ethan jerusalem. it tries to tell the is where it leaves that to his ball lies prepared for this confrontation. but i think that it feels this competition. what's hezbollah trying to achieve with continuous attacks on israel while it's going to show solidarity with, from us in gaza. but at the same time, it tries to not to escalate the situation. and that's mainly due to the fact that

his bottom line is not independent back to. it depends heavily on the wrong. it's in fact, and the iranian proxy for us and the wrong end is by law. don't want a big war right now, simply because the wrong doesn't believe that it's ready for a war with israel. i personally believe, believe that this calculation might change some day when iran is nokia has acquired a new feeling, the case except ability. but for the time being, these 2 actors don't want a big war simply because they believe that they come with eyes around the world. had been watching warily for months now he is there any reason to believe is real will in fact invade 11 on oh yes, yes. uh the the has been a debate even before the cause of warranty. because before the events of this uh,

up to about 2 other, 2023. and those who argue floor of wall with his balls all argue that israel account, except the very fact that there is a very strong terrorist organization on its not on boulder, threatening of these read the notes. the end of this argument has gained a, has gained power off to the 8th of october when his butler started attacking and attacking villages and attacking cities in the north. with the result that between 60 and 90000 is riley's, had to evacuate this uh, this area and many argue that this is not a sustainable situation. if there is no diplomatic solution, if there is no, as by law, withdrawal from these rarely border, many uh, is rarely pundents believes that the such a war it is an inevitable. as you surely know is really fun minister benjamin

netanyahu is visiting the us and on his agenda. among other things is gathering support for fighting has the and other iran back. whoops, in the region. is that something the us support? you know, the, the kind of the buttons administration has tried to restrain israel and it has tried to lose the trying to israel since october 2000 to 2020, 23. the simply because the button administration fee is that an escalation between his bi line as well. it might lead to an escalation of between the wrong, the end israel and the war a why the war in the region. it might be that benjamin netanyahu is now discussing. we're now discuss these uh, these issue with the bite and administration. but i don't believe that the that the

letter will change its view in order to avoid this more the by the administration has tried to do to his by law. it has tried to convince his ball law to seize. it's attached to the buyer, and at the same time it to send in a diplomatic in and going to discuss this problem and discuss the withdrawal of his father law in southern level, not directly invaluable. our thanks. takito steinberg, the middle east expert at the german institute for international and security affairs in berlin. thank you, sir. thank you. i us in bangladesh. authorities have begun easing internet restrictions and a curfew imposed after student lab protests over state. job court has led to mass unrest. soldiers are still deployed in large numbers on the country streets, including in the capital dock,

a scene of some of the worst violence. the government has accepted a court ruling largely scrapping the hated quoted system as demanded by protesters . but students have threatened to resume demonstrations if the government doesn't quickly ease restrictions. use being if the job is following the developments in bangladesh for us and joins us now on the set up. be an issue where things stand today. my good things out a bit, tom now, but still a communication focuses are still limited. internet connection is also limited and also internet connectivity is quite slow. but overall things appear to become since sunday, when the supreme court of the country scaled back to the job or the government job cortez. that was one of the main things that had triggered the protests. what we know, so 5 is that social media, old sort of being suspended,

but the few has been relaxed for a couple of hours. but things may appear to be a big norman now, but it's a country that's grieving the loss of a lot of people. and a lot of why that's been, there's a lot of people are talking about that violence into one question they want to know is how did this protest turn so violent like a more than 150 people have been killed in this both tests and most of them have been students what right school see if that these protests started largely peacefully, but then there was a card cracked down by a bunch of that issue. police by that protection battalion by a about both bought the gods and the students retaliated they for back, and that got things really escalated that are now students. that's the news that we see. for example, some students have spoken to bbc bung law and they have described and explained

that they were protesting. most of the protests were peaceful and then the police started a fighting supper pallets at them. a doctors have doors that they've received, an overburdening number of patients with gunshot wound up and i'm talking about when there was speak of caches. a we activity also spoke to one of the protest uh in bangladesh who was injured. and michael, after that, the internet connectivity and the telecommunication service of was large, the block, so it was very difficult to communicate with the student. and so we had a very garbled voice let's, let's see what this professor had to dentist or mike personally to bring the guy from. so mike has become really understand what he's saying extremely difficult. so it was a lot of with a lot of dr. b figured out, and i was speaking with

a bunch of other issues student here, and both of us tried to understand what he was saying. so basically he's a 24 year old student on 17th of july, he was protesting with other students. and then he was hit by rubber bullets on his left arm. so he says that the police started fighting rubber pallets. and then when they ran, he was hit on his back by members of bung let this to throw league, which is a federal government student body. and the, the members of that party started hitting him with bricks and sticks and bundle a district that a leak is also accused. unless the international save that they have received testimonies of eye witnesses and students who say that the members of this group attacked students at a taco university without discriminating between male and female students. michael, the government denies being behind the wireless. this the,

the blame the opposition for instigating the protest dress, but rights dropped and many, many protested loudly blamed but government of funding that these of being behind the strapped down the next. we only have half a minute literally, but i do want to ask you there's the student protesters have given an ultimatum to the government for certain conditions. what exactly do they want? they basically want prime minister shake of the not to apologize for what has happened. they also want her to accept responsibility for what, because now skilling of the students, they're also one bundle, they struck bradley, the pro government student body to be banned from student politics. the government says that they have set up an investigative committee that will investigate the killings by many so many people in binding out there are very angry and do not trust that this investigation would be independent. it's a dw is being if drafted many thanks printer and we will end it there up next. how
