democratic national convention. as i'm hearing a lot assigned, a lot of music was the atmosphere like over there and chicago tonight. yeah, i suggested that the n c 2024 just started in there is a lot of excitement in the room, president bite, and then just by jill by then they just swap this page some time ago. you know, it's, it's common to do a little bit of the testing was the telephone to the light and there was already such a low ball come. and that's what we expecting later today. after all this, you just mentioned to this is in the last big hit by a big thank you to the democratic policy, of course, which has supported to him. but also, like the party wants to take him off to all his speed more than 15 years in public service. in 1972, he was one of the w, then this is ever to be supported. so this will also be a celebration of joe biden lifelong accomplishments,

and he is himself expected to speak later tonight. but how likely is it that cala harris will follow his legacy, or are we going to see her distancing herself from some of his policies? have it's a very good because he's facing a lot of research on the very best of the problems this information is, is uh, overall a business of figures, something she has to walk a fine line and kind of tell people that she's a forced life, which provided it because it wasn't like the president for the she's going to move the country even sort of it's a future. but she finally,

i still have to do little more than hope and from this is just to come up and hopefully he and the stage behind you on thursday with some precise politics of some precise ideas how she will accomplish that. exactly. let's get into that because there is a lot of momentum there. mean the highest contain has generated so much energy and excitement for the democrats. but what she really saying about these essentially divisive topics for democratic voters like emigration. and as he just mentioned, to us support for israel as war and gaza. yeah, this is the, this has been a very, very well watch, football type of spectrum's for that. it goes spectrums. you know what you did when benjamin netanyahu was addressing congress on the invitation of the republican party she didn't attend, in fact, came down very valid with those who are very critical. defend them in that to now was politics, but also was a job i it. and it's a part of israel,

and we just are coming back from detroit michigan where we worked in a report with arab americans and they applauded some of the harris for doing so for distances for says a little bit of from the original politics of to buy that but that won't be now, she has to come up with somebody who she's, she's sending messages to israel, who they keep providing so much money for is road to defend itself. what about a ceasefire? will she be able to accomplish? said what about the hostages? so these are all very, very precise and she has to come up with some precise answers, more than just the problem is one guy told us, is diego, and you know, they give us the error. the mary couldn't come in and c promises, but they still have money in the bathroom lays. right? well emails will be coming back to you later on to find out how that 1st night goes

. but for those that see that these units pull at the democratic convention in chicago. thank you so much. now let's head over to our reporters stephan simons, who is also in chicago, standing at union park, which is the staging bribes for the main protests that are going on outside the d n. c. right now, jeff and we're just getting reports that some of the pro palestinian protesters have broken through the security barrier to the and see what's actually going on there. right. uh well, if you would have asked me an hour ago, uh, that was quite a different situation. you see here in my back here, police is actually moving now back. they were, are quite in force present to you and push people out of this park. this is not a union park, this is a, just a park, not just a stone's throw from the convention center. from here you're right, the protesters breach the security permit,

or it's the 1st 1st the fence and the law enforcement agencies here is charter police department chanel, to really fast to react and promptly there were a few arrests. so it was 1st possible of the day of the day, one of their credit, the initial convention. and now we'll see what's happening in the next few days. however, overall this was a day of peaceful protest alone. march of let's say maximum $5000.00 protesters towards. c the convention center, or as far as they could get here, they stopped a few, took it on themselves to reach the security for murder worse. we were rebuffed by police and now we're here right now there's more for us than protest this present year. well, it's 7 simons. thank you so much for a little bit of insight on what's going on outside the dnc in chicago there to and you can check out our dw youtube channel for

he outlined the proposed next steps towards ending the will. this include the so called bridging proposal, which blinking says should bridge the gaps remaining between the 2 sides the the bridging proposal that promised or not yeah, who was as accepted and we looked at them off to accept. it reflects what is in the cease fire agreement that presents binding put before the world back back in may. that's incorporated into your own security council resolution. and that makes clear that this process will proceed in phases of a 1st initials, a ceasefire. over the course of 6 weeks in which hostages are released, prisoners are exchange, and negotiations commence on the conditions necessary for an endurance these fire. but is blinking heads of egypt for the next round of tools. disagreements remain

between israel and her mouth. these include israel's refusal to withdrawal all of its troops from gauze, a, a red line for him us. israel would also like to retain some strategic control in garza including along its southern board with egypt, the roof of crossing and the philadelphia car door. in goza smoke rising. above coun, eunice monks, the latest bombardment by his railey forces of the, the city in the south of the strip. as the scholars have months of fighting its residents of grand skeptical of any attempt by the united states to secure peace. hey, it really comes, was it to israel will not change anything every time we hear it will. but it turns out that there are no negotiations. it's all lies about if the black black is,

if it's above us then right. then we suffer a lot and guns that are good, but i'm ready. yeah, i know you know what the categories and we feel that the american assault of the international community are, can you not on us without mercy? so i had the easiest visit to israel is just for the us to check in with is really not provided with arms and logistics. so we continue this extermination in warren concepts and it's probably about the this won't change anything that we're very pessimistic about. his visit with the shaming dependency. although pessimism that grows day by day as the war role zone with gerald fire fire. stine is director of the middle east is chits, a re being peninsula affairs program. he joins united from philadelphia in the u. s . thank you. so much for joining us here on dw, blinking says israel has accepted the bridging deal, but so far there's been little detail about specifics. what do you think the current proposal is likely to include?

it is a pleasure to be with you this evening on. uh and uh, i think that, you know, as a secretary blinking said, the basic framework is the 3 phase initiative that the president by denounced about 3 months ago. which includes the, the immediate cease fire exchange of prisoners, other issues like you monetary and really and is that supposed to go on to a more detailed negotiations? uh that, uh, that would include establishing a format for governance, security, and gaza. and ultimately, hopefully, the beginning of a resumed is really power cindy, a dialogue that would lead to a final resolution of the conflict in the establishment hopefully of an independent palestinian state. but all of those things are in the distant future. and how life has accused israel of moving the goal,

post all of these talks during previous talks. but are we actually any closer to a deal today? well, it's a, it's a very good question. and again, this is the 1st time the secretary blanket has said that israel has accepted proposals all way to find out afterwards that that there was a very optimistic perspective that you were sharing. and that i, that we weren't actually on the verge of an acceptance. so we're going to have to wait and see what comes out of the talks in egypt. isn't that and don't i afterwards to see whether in fact the israel is i've said yes. and whether in fact, a boss is prepared to say yes as well. as other observers have also criticize the us for not really bringing enough pressure to bear on israel to bring a bite to cease fire. is the us really doing all that? it can as well. again, i think that the president bide,

has been trying to walk a very fine line between uh, between uh pricing is route through uh, through initiatives through drawing if you will. uh, but not dropping a uh, hammer in the form of arms. uh, are the session or, or other kinds of, uh, real pressure that would, uh, that would certainly create a star in israel. uh, boeing also create a big star here in the united states. and you know, keeping in mind that we are at the, at the beginning of the ultimate phase of the presidential elections. the president is going to be very mindful, not only what's happening in guys in the middle east, but also of course what the impact is going to be domestically. josiah stein, director of the middle east, is just a re being pinocchio affairs program. thank you so much for joining us on,
