and on tuesday she announced the man who will be her vice presidential running mate, minnesota governor tim walls now just 24 hours ago. most people had never heard the name 10 walls. well, that is changing at lightning speed as well to night. the man who likes to hunt the former high school coach who speaks mandarin and the man or any say has b d big dad energy. i'm or golf and berlin. this is the day. the is amazing is very energetic. like the energy in the room was incredible. i get that uh taking another wife like another. so my oh but not to a why god. i don't know how much the public knows about walls outside of

those that live in minnesota. protecting a person rights for protecting l g b t q. i writes legalizing cannabis and paid uh, you know, leave and, and then universal school lunches. he's one of the most radical liberals in this country. also coming up a state of emergency and rushes course to region. most scale says ukraine has launched a major cross border attack a steve skis. here's the key for a shame, has undertaken none of the large scale provocation, conducting indiscriminate shooting from various types of weapons, including missiles at civilian buildings, residential buildings with them to our viewers watching on tv, as in the united states and all of you around the world welcome, we begin the day with the democratic parties, new would be white house do this week,

vice president campbell of harris announced the most important decision in her campaign to become the next us president in november, the person who will be her vice presidential running mate. his name is tim walls and he is governor of the state of minnesota. was, was in the group of candidates, but he was not reported to be in the core group of final list which for pennsylvania governor josh shapiro and arizona senator mark kelly. all that changed last weekend as harris began making her decision. what was it about was they gave him the whinny edge in a moment. i'll ask another man for minnesota what he thinks. but 1st, this report on the harris walls, tickets for the white house, or tim has an incredible record as governor of the great state of minnesota. and to those who know him better, tim is more than

a governor to his wife when he has a husband too. as kids hope and gus he is bad too. as federal fellow veterans, he is sergeant major wall. the good people in southern minnesota for 12 years he was a congressman who is former high school students. he was mr. was ad is former high school football players. he was coach the and in 90 days, the nation will know coach was by a new title. the

my 1st year's tonight is like jim was a man who calls minnesota home, and unlike jim was a man whose political home used to be the republican party. richard painters served as the chief white house ethics lawyer under us president george w bush. she su donald trump for ethics, violations of 2017 and left the g o p one year later mister painter joins me to night from yarmouth, port in massachusetts. mister painter, it's good to see you again. and there's a lot going on a lot the talk about coming to harris is chosen. minnesota governor, tim was as her v p running may tell me what does a fellow minnesota, what does he have to say about that as well? tim was been gover, minnesota for 6 years. i don't always agree with him. i'm a former republican and i share many of the views of the republican body before donald file rose to power. but the 2 miles represented,

one of the more conservative districts in minnesota for 12 years in the united states congress as a democrat. and this is a district that the republicans won. and the last election by 11 per savage points, a very conservative 1st congressional district in minnesota. so tim wall says dora is by no means a radical, leftist when he became governor minnesota with the support of the democratic former labor for english now controls both houses of the state legislature. he did uh help push over through some legislation which could be viewed as quite progressive of what uh, that being said, uh tim walls is a political realtors. mm hm. yeah. and he understands all that what gets done is what gets done back just at the will of the president of the vice president i states, but also the will congress. and he's been in congress for 12 years. and i would

think that he could be quite effective as a vice president for pamela ers. mr. ben. or do you agree that tim was um, will become the push that undecided voters in battle ground states need to cast their vote for combo la harris as well. the advantage of uh, town wires, choosing 10 walls, he is a midwesterner, he's originally from nebraska, but i've lived in minnesota for many decades. his wife's from minnesota and he's represented the state of minnesota. and also i've been governor. uh, we need a midwesterner uh in the white house. uh certainly, uh the president of camel harris, if she does get elected president, she's from san francisco. and though that's fine. um. but we also need a midwest center uh close to uh, the positions of power the united states and vice president is very, very good. that's going to feel to midwesterners walk and feel left out.

particularly with the democratic party, which has a lot of strength in east coast and west coast, but not so much in the midwest. outside of the very large tim was he was governor in 2020, with the george floyd riots took place republicans. they've accused him of waiting too long to call the national guard to protect public buildings and businesses. they are also putting him in, in the progressive left category of those who want to define police department. you put your posted something on x that caught my attention. i'm gonna pull that up for our view is to see you posted, know tim was, is not anti police. only an idiot would want to abolish the police are defined the police. there are a few idiots in minnesota, but tim walked is not one of them. he wants to reform the police, we can and must fight racism corruption and crime at the same time i hear what you're saying, mr. painter. but do you see this as the political, achilles heel of tim was that donald trump will target,

as well as far as donald trump is going to target uh, 10 balls. right. and he can, but there's simply no evidence that 10 walls want to bar. so the police, are they fund the police? i would like to see more of finding a police in minnesota than we presently out of the city. minneapolis is definitely run by a bunch of left us who have interfered with the work at the minneapolis police department. now that being said that the police officer murdered george floyd was a violent a racist in balloons. in prison. we need to support the police. we also need to fight racism in policing and call for police reform. and the governor wall says never ever call for deep bonding, the police are abolishing the police. that's a very small group of faith. ready extreme left wingers, of who often don't even vote for the democrats that are looking for socialism, marxist or somebody else to support us. of course,

you'll be also be accused of that, but there's just no evidence to back that up. do you think that we will see a televised debate between the vice presidential candidates, tim waltz and j. the vance? do you think we should see one as well? you certainly should say one. i think all the counter drugs, major debate and donald trump needs to the bike, pamela harris, and not just insist that the device they on fox news. uh, one of the major networks abc and they say, you said they ask that host with a bike. uh, there needs to be several devices uh, with the presidential terabytes and the vice presidential candidate. so the american people can see what they're getting. you know, the u. s. presidential campaigns are criticized for being too long and too expensive. and i know you're an outspoken critic of the role, the big money plays in campaigns, reform, money wise, is not on the horizon, but this campaign sees it. it is definitely

a shorter one due to jo biden's departure. just last month do. do you get a sense that there, do you feel of a national collective side that this campaign will only be 2 or 3 months instead of 24 months of paper? certainly very 2nd of a long campaigns and all the money and the dark money funding, the attack, and on all sides of the political spectrum. and we have our supreme court. thanks for that because they've struck down the campaign finance reform legislation. well, several, the justices are sitting on yachts with bank. i'm a nurse, but the american people want to get this election over with. and i think motors are more more aware of how big money tries to influence both of the major political bodies and the selection of candidates and none of their policies wants their alexis. so i've got 2 questions for you to wrap things up about the,

the state of the republican party and the question about the state of the american mind of the 1st one, donald trump's grip on the g. o. p. is it strong today as it was in 2016? will that ever change in your opinion or will the party in with trumps the box? i think the republican boarders are getting very tired or donald trump. let's see how he does in this election. he made very well be biased to, to lose. he doesn't want it to bite cam lara's. uh, and he's using various strategies to avoid it or buy it. he lows is, i think the republican voters are finally going to realize that they've been taken by the con man from new york city, the washer for town. but he somehow, or a friend of middle america. well in fact he's, it rarely been to many parts of middle america and certainly have no interest in middle america. but. ready more he became a candidate for president. so i believe the republican party will survive donald

trump. i may some day return to the republican body. but for now we've got donald trump in the driver's seat and he's come with the shops. he's driven people out of republican ball type, so you don't support him on the i think it's a very bad situation in the short term with the republican party survived in your opinion, if it, the next generation were led by a j. d vance as well. j d vans has its own difficulties. he's embrace the political extremism on a wide range of issues. most voters of who i know who want to vote, republican don't want government people's business. yeah. telling people what to. and if we've got government telling women when they can have a child or try to regulate birth control or to people who they can marry, all of that of the extreme right wing a social agenda that is embrace by today's republican body. a lot of

a more libertarian voters are, are just gonna walk away from that. so there needs to be a serious discussion about where the republican party truly stands for less government, less government interference, less government regulation, or whether they just want to be a big government full on a uh, advancing just a different type of the government agenda. let me get to the 2nd question that i promised you about maybe the state of the american mind. there were other contenders for the vice presidential spot. they included um, pennsylvania governor josh shapiro and the current us transportation secretary p booted. you know, they were both white men, but shapiro is an outspoken supporter of israel. and buddha jake is an openly gay man in 2024 america. are those the qualities that still or now now make you an electable, being jewish, being

a supporter of israel and or being a homeless extra you know i, i think 1st of all the vast majority of americans, the big people support is. well, we don't necessarily agree with these rarely government benjamin that yahoo and all the policies are these rarely government. but we've had a close relationship with israel for many decades. and i don't see that changing at all. those who do not believe is really have the right to exist as a jewish state or to find any extremist minority of the far right and the far left . uh so i don't think that's a problem for governorship payroll. you'd only been governor of pennsylvania, i believe, for a year and a half, and then serve in the state legislature a 10 walls had a much more extensive resume. and also, i do think once again, it's very important to have a midwesterner on the ticket. if you have a ticket that consisted of someone from uh, philadelphia, a shapiro, garbage repair, as from the philadelphia area, and someone from san francisco,

i think middle america can think of left day on a p. but a judge was mayor of south bend, indiana. but did not advance to state politics in indiana, an ultra conservative state. many ways. he's been a good transportation secretary. but once again to run him for president or vice president united states and really appears to be too soon. and he doesn't have a strong geographic base including in his home state of indiana. and what tim was, on the other hand, has a very strong geographic base through the midwest. that's not just minnesota and wisconsin, michigan. he has a lot of appeal to traditional midwest centers. and i think that's the reason he was cho. ready and americans would have nothing of no problem with having a jewish president or vice president. and i don't think americans will elect any president who does not support our alliance with israel. that doesn't mean once again that will with the free with the is really government. mr. richard painter,

as always, we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. so thank you. now to the war in ukraine and the russians president by the way of foods, and he's accusing ukraine of a large scale provocation. after las gal says ukraine watched a cross border attack into russia. russia's army chief, it says up to a 1000 ukrainian troops crossed into the coursed region in south western russia and advanced towards the city of zillow. thousands of civilians were evacuated from the area. russia released footage of what it says are ukrainian tanks and military vehicles on russian territory. moscow said that it was air in artillery fire power to rebuild the attack. if confirm, it would be the largest cross border incursion by ukrainian troops since the start

of the war. ukraine has not commented on the claims made by russia. if more now i want to bring in frank lead, which he is a senior lecturer in strategic studies at portsmouth university. he is also a former u. k. military intelligence officer. he joins me tonight from oxford in england. frank, it's good to see you again. ukraine tonight. very silas, is this a major attack? what russia is saying? it's spoken ab branch depends on the scale you're talking about. what's quite remarkable here is it looks very much like a mirror policy, russian concave offensive that will run that. but for me about 3 months ago now, which is actually still going on, we're looking at the same amount will reflect a larger amount of taxi taken in possibly the same sort of full scale of policy use by the cranes as the rest of the to use in the call care of offensive. so it does

seem to be a major and cost and as we speak, ukrainian is have taken nearly, i think, 300 square kilometers. and that's still pushing us. the latest reports, the russians call that nature a major and caution. it looks like a brigade, russian says the 22nd mechanized brigade, which is quite story though. the last couple of days i experienced recently have significant reinforcements of electronic move that which they uh announced quite, quite interestingly, plus or another couple of fatalities. so we're looking here, probably $3.00 to $5000.00 soldiers involved with the whole operation. i'd say this is not simply a rate, it looks like something a mold or not. why would ukraine, why would it watch a major operation like this? is difficult to say. there are 2 major possibilities. the 1st is that they are currently, or they are the early stages of something that's been in the arrow

a little bit over the last few weeks. and hence a bit from you training. come on route, most of what amounts to a surprise counter offensive biking stability for that. but it's possible as the 2nd possibility is it's a, it's a diversion or even larger, a salt somewhere else. some science operation towards operation. the sample from top rated song around the nuclear power station. we'll see about that. and i the way it looked as if the ukrainians are trying to take round off the russians, preferably of course, in russia to provide themselves some leverage, perhaps against negotiations which i hope will be with the russians. a peace conference and around the time of the us elections in november. so there are a number of could, could be a resist flowing together if you like, that give some logic to what otherwise might just say my

a rather strange thing to do. yeah. what, what can talk me through that then? so this, this an attack is i'm a preview of, of what, or is it planning pre planning of what peace negotiations are or, i mean, so we're, we've got an attack that's going to lead possibly to an end to this conflict. is that what you're saying? zaleski would like the russians present to note that, but at the next piece, conferences you will not, but they're not as russian. so the chinese tugged up at the last one i hope, is the russians will at the next one, which will certainly be advocating of negotiation, whether, whether that will result in anything snyder who, who knows it's crystal balls the cost of the us elections, which is a form of strategically important occasions by the way, it makes sense for the ukrainians. ta ta to sets of states a company if you'd like. or at least set set the set, the grounds for having something to give. now if they hold a few 1000 square miles of russian terrace at that point, which is rather doubtful, i think the reason would come onto if you like that and not gives them something to

bulk it with knots. what somebody, let's just say say it makes sense. to me now the another, i think the less plausible is, if this is the reasons i don't think it makes sense, is that it is that the, that the ukraine is a trying to draw all russian forces from the southern front south. suddenly some from does not make sense in terms of the balance of benefits on either side. yeah, it's fascinating the of what could be, you know, the impetus of this attack, do we know? was there any suggestion that something like this might happen or as it called russia completely off guard. this has been a suggestion of it in the sense that like i said that there's been this it. yeah. and it continues to be and i that, that brought you credit is a planning some form of counter attack. i top of that out. the non profit, something very big looking here off the divisional side. the also the 2nd part of you question with the rest is ready for absolutely not, no defenses. these, these forces call through the russian border and show it to or to spread out on 2

or 3 axis. now now are the advancing towards are actually in the village offices in the profit. so the last of coast, what that, what will happen, those, that kind of come up, the guys prepared russian projections, which shot that i'm likely to rates in the near future. but what we all saying is, i know defended border, exploited by surprise. no question about that. by 2000, you cried in soldiers. let's see if they have the forces ready to exploit those advances. why do they even want to it's conceivable. they may just dig in and say, ok, now get us up front. do we have any indication of what type of ukrainian troops are involved here? i mean, we've, we've seen ukrainian militias comprised of russian citizens launching attacks inside russia before or that's right. and you're talking close about the, to the cousins into the belgrade region, which is to the south of this one. this is kind of towards ca, square the cost of loss here, capital,

which is the safety of coast and the cost to place the great. but to the 2nd world war, and this however, is full of full ukrainian brigade plus a couple of times. these aren't russian irregulars or decisions or, or gangs of on demand like as the russians, what describes belgrade and cousin. this is a prop of mechanized brigade, well trained, experienced, well equipped from what we've seen so far. it's much more serious. i mean, any, anything happened in belgrade before? now, what's the remains such? we'll see. so the, the russians have mobilized ground forces, not giving me the paintings a hard time for the arrow from drugs as we speak. adults, hillary, that will be contra tax. it may well be would be good in the box. but this is a very different thing from a belk running cousins early this year. not last year. i mean, it sounds like this could be an event that would a give the ukrainian military possibly some good news to bring home from the battlefield. and how badly does ukraine need?

they're considering the problems that they're having with recruiting soldiers at the moment. yes, there's lots of it very much like they they cock is offensive at late. 2022. doesn't it? what a relatively small ukranian schools scott stood poorly. the very few rushing force of it came to a great deal of loud. we'll take care a couple of 100 square kilometers. now, when you look on the month, it doesn't look like great, but it's very significant the context of this war. so it is good news for this. no doubt about it. however, if you are fighting on the shaky southern and eastern fronts now down into the house, cadets, you may be thinking, you know what, we need those troops here to show up the defenses. but clearly the pain training come onto the see an advantage here. they saw an opportunity and we'll see if they reinforce that opportunity over the next few, few weeks or days or even hours. it's likely in mind you, by the way, this will kind of get to something of what we see of the russian russians day

towards khaki by the holding on to a chunk of ukraine. the entire tree guides fairly superior and not, not location, ukrainian forces. it may well be that we'll see that mirrored in cost if we're having ukrainians hold on to defensive positions in russia. i'm not in itself is quite remarkable in a doubtfully will do no harm to you probably tomorrow. and as you say, you may give the ukrainians a little bit more to have in their pocket if indeed they do end up sitting down at the negotiating table to in this more military analyst frank. but which frank is always we appreciate your analysis. thanks. thanks. but so you're watching the date, we will see you right here tomorrow. thanks for the company. everybody. the,

the issue of society and is near is nice. in contrast to other cities in turkey is much more open from the people. i can only hope that it will get even better, at least even if things are looking to so good with our leader at the moment. please quit in. is me. what place like in turkey's most liberals that seem focused on europe next, on dw, climate change is threatening our food supply. $1089.00 and algorithms safeguard harvest is land grown food for the climate. pardon me?
