president bite and then just by jill bite and they just swap this page some time ago. you know, it's, it's common to do a little bit of testing with the telephone to the light and there was already such a broad. com. and that's what the expecting later today after all is you just mentioned 10. this is the last big hit by a big thank you to the democratic policy of course, which has supported him, but also like the party wants to take him off to all his speed more than 15 years in public service and 1972. he was one of the deputies, and 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? hi, that's a very 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 for to avoid it because it wasn't like the president for that. she's going to move the country even further into the future. but she finally, so this is trudy little more than this house and from this is just to come up and hopefully he and the stage behind you on thursday with some precise politics with 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 we just mentioned, to us support for israel as war and gaza. yeah, this is um, this has been a very, very well watch from all kinds of spectrum's for that. it goes spectrums. you know what you did when benjamin netanyahu was uh, addressing congress of the invitation of the republican party she didn't attend in bed, came down very valid with those who are very critical of defending that to now was politics, but also was a job i it in the support of israel, we just are coming back from detroit michigan where we worked in a report of, of arab americans. and they applauded pamela harris for doing so for distancing herself with little bits of from the original politics of to binders. but that

won't be now, she has to come up with somebody who she keep sending messages to israel, who they keep providing so much money for this road to defend itself. what about a ceasefire? will she be able to accomplish? said what about stranger hostages through visa, all? very, very precise. and she has to come up with some precise answers. more than just the problem is one guy told us in dearborn, you know, they give us the error. the mary couldn't come in c promises, but they still have money in the bathroom lays. right? well, you know, so we'll be coming back to you later on to find out how that 1st night goes. but for those that see that we use even for the democratic convention in chicago, thank you so much. i are now demonstrator is calling for the us to end a to israel has gathered near the new hosting the convention pro passed and in full test as briefly managed to break through a nearby fence,

but were pushed back by police sizes of marchers are demanding that the us stop giving military and financial support to israel activists have criticize dividing harris administration for its handling of the war in gaza. the riley is much smaller than the organizers had hoped and protest huffing piece. so dw reporter stuff on simon's is standing by at the park just outside the d n. c. where the main protests are happening. i asked him about the reports about protesters breaking through the fences quite 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 quite in forest present to you and pushed people out of this park. this is the union park, this is a just the park not just as don't throw from the convention center. from here you are right to protesters, breach the security permit,

or the 1st 1st the fence and the law enforcement agency, zero's charter police, upon which mailed 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 gets the initial convention and now we'll see what's happening in the next few days. however, overall, this was a day of peaceful protests 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 press than protest this, present you on the w unfortunate stuff on simon's us secretary of state and to meet blinking says that israel has accepted a proposal to bridge differences that are holding up

a ceasefire and hostage release and gossip. he may be 9 spent after meetings with his really prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, and president isaac heads up in israel. lincoln says it's not up to him. us whose terrorist attack on october 7, stars at the current war 2 agreed to the plan. it is us secretary of state tents, me blinking 9th visit to the middle east since the warring cause that began over 10 months ago. following meetings with israel leaders, he outlined the proposed next steps towards ending the will. this includes the so called bridging proposal, which blinking says, should bridge the gaps remaining between the 2 sides. the, the bridging proposal that by mister netanyahu was as accepted and we looked through a mazda, except reflects what is in the cease fire agreement that presents the binding put

before the world back back in may. that's incorporated into human 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 is blinking heads of egypt for the next round of tools. disagreements remain between isabel and her mouth. these include israel's refusal to withdrawal. all of its troops from gauze, a, a red line for him. us of israel would also like to retain some strategic control and garza including along its southern board with egypt. the rough crossing and the philadelphia,

colorado. 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's evelyn lincoln's visit to israel will not change anything every time here to 12. but it turns out that there are no negotiations. it's all lies about if the clock clock is it the spot as in line each and then we suffer a lot of guns that are good. but i met a guy, you know what the guy to pretend. 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 israel united, provided with arms and logistics of you. so we continue with these extermination and war and concepts and a similar problem. this won't change anything as though we are very pessimistic

about his visit to the contrary. i mean to convince the auto pessimism that grows day by day as the war rolls on. will gerald fire stein is director of the middle east institute, so maybe in peninsula affairs program. he told me what he thinks the current proposal is likely to include. it's a pleasure to be with you this evening on. uh, and 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 ceasefire exchange of prisoners, other issues like humanitarian relief. 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 sending a dialogue that would lead to a final resolution of the conflict and the establishment hopefully of an independent palestinian state. but all of those things are in the distant future, or, and how much has accused, as well as 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 that secretary blinking has saying 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 high

afterwards to see whether in fact the, as rarely, as i've said yes and whether in fact, a boss is prepared to say yes as well. as some 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 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, but not dropping a uh, hammer in the form of arms uh, arms session or, or other kinds of, uh, real pressure that would, uh, that would certainly create a star in, 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 steps i assign director of the middle east is choose or maybe in peninsula affairs program. thank you. so much for joining us on the daily pleasure. well, before we go countries across the world, i've been welcoming the night sky phenomenon known as a supreme aid and ancient greek temple. the size of athens was dwarfed by the moon on monday evening. during the event, the moon appears much larger than usual because of its orbital because it's orbital cost is closer to earth. monday, super name was also witnessed in asia, australia, the middle east and the americas. but if you missed this one, don't despair. the next system it will be upon us all next month
