the, the, you're watching the, the name coming to live from berlin, us, the democratic nominee connell, a harris household running mates. same walls will become vice president of the united states is harris wins the white house in november. so what are democrats hoping the minnesota governor can bring to the tickets? also coming up on our show, last names, it's new political chief yankee. i'll send wars a series of masterminding, the october 7th terror attacks. israel has a valid to kill him. and you premium forces under relentless pressure. more towns in the east now lie in ruins with russian troops continuing their advance

the hello. i'm clear, richardson, thank you so much for joining us. well, thanks for those stories in just a moment. but 1st, at this hour we do have some developments coming in from western germany where at least one person is dead after a hotel co ops, emergency services, a rescue for people with for more still trapped under the rubble in the town of a crew of police say so maybe seriously injured. nearby homes have been evacuated and around 250 rescue workers are on the scene. police say the risk of further collapse has made the rescue operation extremely demanding committees for them. and we will be bringing more updates on that story as they come in for now though, let's turn to the united states where democratic presidential hopeful pamela harris

has picked her running make for november's election to malls. as the governor of minnesota harris county hopes having him on the ticket could help went over voters in nearby battleground states like wisconsin and michigan. harris and walls are expected to campaign together across several spring states in the coming days and was laid out what he hopes to bring to washington. the minnesota strength comes from our values, our commitment to working together to seeing faster differences, always being willing to lend a helping hand. those are the same values i learned on the family farm and tried and skill in my students. i took it the congress end of the state capital and now vice president harris and i are running to take those very values to the white house, the and was introduced as vice president harris has picked in philadelphia. that is the biggest city in pennsylvania. and

that states, the electoral votes will be critical in deciding whether harris or former president and donald trump is elected in november. the state is set for the us presidential election. pamela harris has phones were running, mate, minnesota, cuz i know tim wants the us vice president since she's found a leader with whom to build the pride of future is the kind of person who makes people feel like they belong and then inspires them to dream big and that's the kind of vice president he will be the best president america a little known figure on the national

stage was, is currently in his 2nd time estimating his soda governor. he served in congress for a 1000 years, really fond his golf before being elected to congress. while you work does that, do you offer few teachers and a high school football coach issue official problem was, has pushed a progressive agenda. that includes free school meals, goals for tackling climate change, access to abortion tax cuts for the middle class, and expanded pay leave for workers. democrats believe having goals on the democrats tickets could help. we know the voters in rural areas and the midwestern battleground, states of wisconsin and michigan. i expect them to hit the ground running like the already went in. i expected things and that's, it seems like they're listening to, to people and see like what people want. she could have like a talking dog and i was calmer,

harris. i work home on hers anyway. republican opponents have been quick to criticize harris's choice and labeled through competition as to liberal. even comparing was to minutes and it's known for terror attacks. just highlights how radical calmly here it says, this is the person who listen to the modeling of our own party and selecting anonymity. i think it's interesting actually they, they make it an interesting tag team. pennsylvania was the democratic, do was 1st stop. the campaign will now take them to 7 crucial swing states, where they will hope to persuade undecided voters in less than 3 months. but william blew blew prompt is deputy editor of the parliaments magazine and joins us now for more analysis. william give us a little bit more background on was why is the harris campaign hoping he can attract suntrust voters or hi keira. good to see you. yeah,

it was a surprising pick, right. a lot of people thought she was in a go to shapiro in pennsylvania, given his very centrist uh, views that he's, that we've, we've learned about him in the last few weeks. but tim welts really checks these cliche midwestern boxes that they hope will appeal to a lot of people just very down to earth. very modest, the teacher background, the football coach, background, sort of the pure american up kind of image and of course politics, especially the presidential level especially that, that ticket you're looking at to match the presidential candidate. and the vice presidential candidate has so much to do with optics. now we heard in that report that he does lean a little bit more to the left in terms of social policy, economic policy. but the harris campaign is hoping that it's really those optics that i just mentioned that are really going to win over the rule voters, people that base the or has been lost to trump, that they can maybe try to pull back. and what is his track record there?

how electable has he been in the past to 2 people more in the center? right. well minnesota is a bit of an outlier in midwest, which generally runs red and minnesota runs blue. so it does run counter to a lot of its neighboring states. none the less is by no means what republicans would brand as some cosmopolitan liberal, a lead place. it is still very firmly in the midwest and waltz has a proven track record of winning areas. and winning seats from previously republican held areas, he won his congress congressional seat before becoming governor, of from a more conservative in a more conservative district, from the republican candidate. and he also, his previous, his predecessor in the governor's house, was a republican. so the harris team and addition to those optics that i mentioned are also seeing that as a potential win for them in their hope to win. whether you wouldn't call them

centers, motors independent voters, one time democratic owners who, when trump, however you want to frame that, the people that they're trying to win back on the margins to get them over the line . and november. when you look at walters track record, which parts of his history do you think we're likely to see trump's campaign go after as well, they're going to go after him the way they would go after. absolutely, anybody else, it's the same lines out of trump world that we have always heard to liberal left radical. we heard from judy vance and that were in that report as i was getting ready for our talk this morning. uh, ben shapiro happened to show up on my twitter feed and he was talking about how much the gift waltz is the republican ticket. no matter who the v p pick would be. and to that point, whoever the presidential pick on the democratic ticket is, it's going to be those lines that is just too radical and to less wing. of course, the traffic is anything but come on. the harris is a very solid centrist. for some democrats, she's actually too conservative,

and even wallets with is slightly less leaning. a track record is only sort of left in a, in an american sense, where there's a not a great understanding of the difference mean liberal and left. so we're going to hear these kind of standard sort of troops out of the trump trump world against him as we would anyone else? thank you so much for joining us with that analysis. that is william with blue cross with the parliament magazine turning out of some other news, the palestinian militants group homos size. it has chosen it's top military commander and gaza as a new political leader. yeah, house and wire replace has a smile. nea who was assassinated in iran last week in an attack. inflamed on israel, israel police and war masterminded the october 7th terror attacks and has been pursuing him ever since we can speak. our correspondent rebecca river is joining me now from jerusalem. rebecca, good morning. will this appointments of send war change anything in how i'm also

strategy. so i think that's very unlikely. clear. we're not likely to say any major changes. if anything of this could see the mazda approach become more hotline. yes, yes and well, the leader of hamas in garza has certainly be in the mall hotline, later from the home us leadership and with the assassination of is now hon. near who was seen as a if not more moderate than certainly more pragmatic leader. and this appointment of san juan as the central now really is the most powerful man in the us leadership . i think that we're likely to see a more hard line approach if anything but the uh, you know, the reason i say we may not see much difference at all is yes, yes. and we was already largely seen as the and to use it to clinton attend the supreme leader of almost any way. he was certainly since october 7, you know, the go to person for the final word on all things from strategy to the say sign

a goes she ations in certainly seen as the head of the snake is certainly within her mouse and externally. so it's unlikely that we'll see any kind of major changes there. we are now seeing a centralization of that power and a formalization of that centralization of power, if you will, but unlikely that will say anything in terms of a different political or military strategy. it tell us more about what this means for a possible cease fire in gospel does have implications or for the release of his really hostages, held captive by him. us as well as i'm just trying to say, i think this, it certainly will have implications when it comes to the sci fi do you. but i think it's not so prizing that ever since we saw the assassination of is not honey. a basically pundits within israel has been saying that this is fi arrangement is effectively dead in the water that, you know now we've seen was definitely a elected as the central and most powerful figure into mass. i think it's unlikely

that we will see any kind of hostage negotiation will cease by ideal in the near future. the us a call saying that a political solution solution is still possible and it is still the best way to comp tensions in the region. but i think it's very unlikely that we're going to see any kind of agreement between i'm also in israel and we know that of israel says that it's part, it's still open to negotiations. i think once we've now this centralize ation of power and certainly we'd send one out being officially of the head of this neg, i think it's unlikely that we're going to see any negotiations reach a successful end anytime soon. and has there been any other reaction from israel to this new leadership? is it, is it more or less what you would expect of the? well, this appointment is certainly being viewed as a, as a signal or the, you know, a kind of message of strength and of defiance towards israel. yes, yes. and what has already been on top of israel is kill list if you will,

for sometimes that makes sense. october 7th, they have said they are going off to the is the hum us leadership and that they will not stop until they are taken down. we heard from the, uh, is there anything with the tree sports when daniel had gary in the, off the mouth of this new saying, the only place for you on yes, in law is next to dice. referring to my hama, dice the, the military leader of whom asked who was killed and it is really as striking july and the rest of the october 7 terrorist has suddenly feeling the sentiment there. and we also heard from his ready cat c, as any foreign minister saying another reason to eliminate him and the vile organization from this. so, you know, israel certainly not changing its tune. in fact, you know, becoming stronger behind is will to eliminate the the, the latest if i'm us. rebecca, thank you for the rebecca rivers for us in jerusalem. this we can bring you up to speed. now, with some other world news headlines, bangladesh as president, has appointed a nobel prize winning economist mohammed us to meet an interim government that

meets a key demand of student leaders who helped the top of the prime minister. shake casino units will serve as head of the caretaker government for a maximum of 90 days until new parliamentary elections are held. mourners have gathered in the u. k to pay tribute to a 9 year old victim of last week staffing attack in southport. the young girl was among 3 children killed by a teenager tacker all attending a summer vacation workshop. the murder sparked violent riots from anti immigrant groups after social media falsely identified the suspect as an as witness migrant and venezuela's military leaders have a firm's there. quote, absolute loyalty to presidents, nicholas my daughter o, in the aftermath of last month disputed presidential elections, your opposition, se voting, machine records show it one more than 67 percent of the vote and had called on soldiers and police officers. a true respect for people's well, human rights groups. a dozens of people have died demonstrating against my daughter

since the election while russia says it is fighting off a ukrainian, the ground and air attack and the russian region, of course, the deputy regional governor, of course, except the situation. it was, quote, controllable. ukraine has not commented on the reported fighting its own forces, have lost an estimate of 200 square kilometers of eastern ukrainian territory to russian advances in recent months. and the pressure they face in some sectors is unrelenting. to call tourette's, a ghost town would be too generous. only a skeleton is left and their brigade of ukrainian troops to defend it. of russia has intensified its attacks in this direction in recent weeks, presumably with the goal of taking the town. although virtually all of its inhabitants have already left capturing tourette's could be a strategic win for moscow. it's a logistic center for ukraine and sits on elevated ground after ukrainian counter

offensive stalled this past winter. rushes military has renewed its offensive and the don bass focusing in the past months on 2 strong holds tourette's input crowds, small but strategic towns north and north west of don't. yet. russia claims that has taken control of 6 villages along this roughly 60 kilometers a front line in the past few months. the growth has not been evacuated. in fact, many families have arrived there recently as they flee russian troops just 20 kilometers away. some of these people are from tourette's, others from road you've got a town east of the crux drive. so the front line is getting closer to closing. so difficult is on the front line now and we were told by the soldiers, the front line is here. many people are fleeing. people are leaving every day. they worry, they might have to move again if you cranny and troops can't hold the line. attacks

and for crowds are increasing. and as $300.00 missile left the local university and ruins. few analysts believe russia is on the verge of a significant breakthrough, but recent advances have been devastating for ukrainians in the region and disheartening for an already battered and exhausted army. let's bring in marina moran from the war studies department at kings college london for more welcome to russia on the offensive in the dawn bass. we heard there it's sites a set on the towns of port crossed and tourette's. how do these factor into rushes strategy? a good morning, claire. well, we have to go back a little bit and, and what recall in my previous interview. so i said that of the of go was strategically important. and so when talking about the, the, you've got and then looking at the russian movement towards which you read to that enabled them to go towards across. and the reason for across is that it's

a logistical note. there was a re, a way for it to look at the map. so logistically it is important and it is enabler for russian operations. if we look further at the map, we will see that that will facilitate the russian advancement tri city are and we, we already know we have um, so fights, interest if you are. and also the ultimate team of taking sl events come from a tourist. but in order to do that, you cannot, it will stretch your logistics and you need to cut off the logistics of your adwords for me, that is that you praying for us as in the risk. it's a similar situation. and interestingly enough, this town house and spend the tax by the russian since 2016. so it was a strong hold for the ukranian forces. and now we're seeing movements of the russians coming from the direction of new york, which is south of the red skin. so they, they, they are trying to create a sort of

a castle for that ukrainian forces, again, to cut off their logistics. and so in, in terms of logistics, these 22 cities are very important. and i'd love to broaden this out a little bit for us and tell us at this stage in the war, what kind of pressure ukraine is under and how well they have been able to cope with it as well. i think what we have been seeing what has been described as a russian offensive and hard key. you've created a very problematic situation for the korean armed forces because the idea was to over stretch them and to make so you bring in forces gas, whereas the russian attack would be. and so the russians managed to create many pressure points along the line of contacts. therefore the expectation was that the offensive will would be in har keeps, therefore you creating forces were deployed to har keeps. and we're seeing that the

actually the main activities are somewhere else. so the premium forces are of course, what was stretched and they are exhausted. and we also know about the presence was artillery shells and shortages in personnel. so right now the situation is very difficult and carrillo but donald was predicting that it would last until july, but we're seeing that it houses and that it very nice. thank you so much. stay with us for just a moment. i'd like to turn briefly now to talk about some of the losses that ukraine is suffering, holding back these russian attacks we know finding replacements has been proving difficult. those who have chosen to go fight are already doing so. so you crane recruiting men against their, well we have this report now from our correspondence max, send a look. see was an infantry soldier was wounded in combat. now he works. these checkpoints, making sure men of fighting age have registered with us already said my whole

family is fighting. my brother was with me. my father is fighting. my uncle is fighting some way and so i don't think much of such people them like i don't understand them at all. i need this morning is quite a few like this man gets summons because they're not fully registered in the child . i have to pass a military medical board so that they confirm whether i in a fit or not with me or not. oh drafting operations run so smoothly. videos like this shared on social media are set to show recruitment officials using forces, people swap stories of men being dragged off the street and why we cannot verify these pictures. they contribute to fear of the mobilization drive. an army spokeswoman says such incidents are being exaggerated with the green countries on the mass renew as the violations of the rights and freedoms of the citizens on his highlighted by lawyers, namely the attention forcibly bringing them in these actions and now legal. but

it's about, you know, which in other words, the mobilization is going lawfully and orderly on the roof. on ton is worried about being forced to fight use to meals. michel mine have friends who have not left with their apartments since the beginning of the war on your day of skid. every one is scale. move to on ton is planning to escape. i'm assuming you're from doing your mobile today. they're on not many ways across the board is really need some the booms, which are in any case, it costs money given you more than the loss of it will use to go through police. so those, those who have connections and money can escape officially or legally or tutorial order because those who have no connections that have some money, they have to run or swim foot because he knows someone who can help and has sold everything he had to raise the 10000 dollar bribe from the store, your money,

when you put life on the scale, nothing can outweigh it. to post the will you simply choose life. and nothing else, messes and sourced annoying. you mean as much in, you know, the soldiers hunting for draft dodgers have found a peculiar case. my gun in my life and the commander. this man is a reserve officer. under martial law. he should have signed up already. he didn't but claims. he helps the armed forces as a volunteer to rush. i felt and we help you. yeah. well, i'll go just go where i need to know where they tell me. i'll go myself. i will find just not with the kind of chaos that they arrange for, but there's not much understanding for that approach here. and then more than the ones that are not everyone can be a volunteer to if it's out of your kids, especially an officer who took the ocean and has to protect the country level creative in my 2nd shot, the cream. although the actual fighting as far away,

it goes along this quiet road without me soldiers, ukraine will not survive. let's turn back to marina moran for some context chair marino. why are people like those we've just seen and that report increasingly unwilling to fight for ukraine as well as a difficult problem which has different reasons for one, the people are more wary. the armed forces of ukraine have suffered, made any side best. and i think the country offensive the field, comprehensive of last year, was buried, telling them that diminished them. were island the wish to go and fight. and the as a problem, of course, you need to train the soldiers, you need to pay them. you need to give them kit knowing that they are not going to have enough for a tillery rounds to fight off the russians. so essentially,

what if we remember as a fide full book moved to where people were dying? when wagner was there? seems those kinds of situations people of course, are afraid and don't want to fight. and so you have this kind of issue where you have collapsing economies that and then you have people who really don't want to fight and you still send them to the phone, then generals loose and it was very clear that yeah, so you bring in on forces need people, but those who don't want to fight actually demoralize the rest of the truth. so it is in a way counter productive. so that is a dilemma. and if you send everybody to fight again, who's going to pay taxes and keeps the economy a life which is already in shambles. so it's quite a huge problem for ukraine. all right, i think it was always a for your analysis as moreno moran from the worst of his department of king's college london. thank you for having me. the. i have time for some sports now and germany is

a men's basketball team are through to the semi finals of an olympics. it for the 1st time ever after a strong 2nd half performance lifted them past greece funds. wagner, lead germany with 18 points while dentist, schroeder chipped in with 13 as the world cup winners and proof their record to an impressive for know it's secure their spot in a 1st ever olympic final for where they await either canada or france. germany's previous best finish at the olympics was 7th place in 1992 and the u. s. women's national football team has booked their place in the gold medal match for a hard fought and a score was 90 minutes. sophia smith, extra time goals, something us past germany and into the final and in the highly anticipated women's $200.00 made a race final usa is gabby thomas, secure of the gold medal, thomas storms the band and was on tangible on the straight to claim

a convincing victory, womens, 100 meter champion, and julian alfred finished seconds. and that is our show for now. i'm clear. richardson in berlin. it thank you so much for joining us. the
