12:02 pm
november elections. it was a rock star as welcome as cumberland iris appeared on stage in chicago. but the rest of the week is about fighting for the future. monday nights was also about remembering the past and i want to kick us off by celebrating our incredible president joe biden. h wasn't the speech biden had planned to give, which it was one that found receptive and loving audience. the president clearly emotional reflected on his legacy and the tax, donald trump, but ultimately was a message of hope and well mocking the end of biden's half a century and politics are ready for freedom
12:03 pm
to democracy and. 6 the, we're ready to work all the wires in the when i gave my best for 50 years. like many of you are getting my heart and soul organization. and i've been blessed a 1000000 times reserve, the support of the american people. the convention will see a row called a democratic grandees addressing the american people on monday night was a ton of the last woman to face. donald trump,
12:04 pm
this is our time america. this is when we when we were in the outside the convention center. it was more cons, donations and celebration of thousands of pro palestinian demonstrates as most the criticism of the policy. and this responds to gaza for the democrats. and now looking ahead to those a speech by the presidential hopefuls. as joe biden passes on the leadership of the policy and finally propose to exits the political stage. and within the studio is the the, the list of chan who's part of our team covering the us election. alyssa, just a month ago, joe biden thought it'd be giving a very different speech at this convention here. he's passing the towards sure the
12:05 pm
baton at least to cala harris. what is the torch being passed also to a new generation within the democratic party? it certainly felt that way even more so than past democratic national conventions and political conventions. and monday's always an opportunity. the 1st day of any convention is always an opportunity, whether republican or democrat, to sort of showcase rising stars and also to test them on the national stage, see how they're received when they deliver their speeches. so we saw plenty of that with a large contingent from california because com. la harris originally started her political career. their things were really you for inside the convention hall, you could feel that. but outside there were protests against us policy towards israel and concerning the gaza. war come on, harris is associated partly with that. do you think she might change the policy on that question? sorry, that's a really good question and the honest answer is,
12:06 pm
we just don't know. there are hints she recently met with benjamin netanyahu of israel when he visited the united states. and in that post meeting remark, she expressed more sympathy empathy. many would say then president joe biden, in terms of what's happening in gaza and what's happening to the palestinians. but whether that translates into a change in u. s. foreign policy on israel as another matter, and that's still pretty steady over the last 2 decade, a conventions or a chance to get to know candidates better. do you think we're going to learn more about cala harris's foreign policy priorities and do you think they'll differ much from what we've heard from what we've seen the tro button? yeah, i mean come on, harris. i was in san francisco reporter when she was attorney general and a senator and so most of her focus has primarily been domestic of the moment that i remember was 2 years ago in 2022. when
12:07 pm
a couple of harris was at the munich security conference on the eve of the russian invasion of ukraine. and i think that was a moment where if she wasn't a trans atlantis before, she became one in that absolutely stressed, worried room of europeans and we seen her since return a to that security conference very recently. she's develop a relationship with a good relationship with the ukrainian president brought him or zalinski also in asia. she's attended often meetings. she's met with chinese president sheeting team . and so if she didn't have for an experience a before, she certainly been reading her brief. most of the thank you so much that was most of the champ part of our election coverage team for the united us presidential trends. thanks. because it's been a rush of diplomatic activity across the middle east. ange, it's securing a ceasefire between israel and from us. us secretary state and st blake and says is
12:08 pm
rarely prime minister benjamin netanyahu has accepted a bridging proposal to hold the funding and urged from us to do the same. blinking is today in l. a mind uh meeting with present of the photo cc of egypt, a key and negotiating partner with i'm us. the senior from us official has cost out hold progress though, saying the terms of the deal differed from previous positions. israel is reportedly demanding control over a border crossing between egypt and gaza. spring. well, israel's military size, it has recovered the bodies of 6 hostages in an overnight operation. in garza, i believe militants are still holding over a 100 hostages. captured in the october some terrorist attack on israel releasing them is a key demand in ceasefire negotiations. it is us secretary of state antony blankets, 9th visit to the middle east since the war and gaza began 10 months ago.
12:09 pm
following meetings with israel's leaders, he outlined the proposed and next steps towards ending the war. this includes a so called bridging proposal which blink and says, should bridge the gaps remaining between the 2 sides. good afternoon everyone. the, the bridging proposal that part mister netanyahu was as accepted and we looked at them off to accept, reflects what is in the cease fire agreement that president biden 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 as blinking heads off to egypt for the
12:10 pm
next round of talks, disagreements remain between israel and homos. these include israel's refusal to withdrawal all of its troops from gauze, a red line for how much israel would also like to retain some strategic control in gaza. including along its southern border with egypt, the roof of crossing this and the philadelphia core door narrow buffer zone. in garza smoke rising above con eunice marks the latest bombardment by is rarely forces. the city in the south of the strip bears the scars of months of fighting. its residents have grown skeptical. any attempt by the united states to secure peace. hey, it really comes, was it to israel will not change anything. every time we hit it will. but it turns
12:11 pm
out that there are no negotiations, it's all lies about if the clock like is if it's above us then right. then we suffer a lot of guns that have got a but i'm ready. i know you know what the categories and we feel that the american us of, of the international community are, can you not on us without mercy, a cell phone? i had the easiest visit to israel is just for the us to check in with israel united provided with arms and logistics. so we continue with this extermination and war and concept probably a better look at 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. journalist carlinville gloria's in cairo, following the story i asked earlier whether a mazda is likely to accept the latest proposal. that's what people skia almost is not happy about what the u. s. is calling the so click richie proposes how much
12:12 pm
accuse the u. s. it of buying time for each rate to as how much is continued. it's janice, i think gaza, i must as agreed to the original proposal of the president, we as present joe biden already in june. and this proposal was having several phases of exchanging is very hostages. and i've seen in prison, this is a company that 1st by a 6 weeks east fire. and then by a permanency. busy in the understanding of from us, this is one package. it now it, it uses the all too significant, the edits to this original proposal and to the u. s. sending. this is a preaching proposal and i think it was happening that the how boss. and it seems generally a self thing that you as role is on this broker in some comments, a u. s. secretary of state actually blinking. this even called the lawyer of nathan
12:13 pm
y'all. so all that is not a good site. what you see as the biggest stumbling blocks at this point in negotiations, kareem or what i see and then read it to be know very little about the details. but the, what the, how much is saying, and there are several points they don't accept to this. i, you always know say why the bridges to propose that that seems to be that there is no, is withdrawal from these. are the troops from that off of crossing between the gaza strip in the egypt? there's also no is really was drawn from the for that, that's the course. so that's the car to the for the corey to also between egypt and because of strict meaning that the, it's a form is a, the presence is a force each of the gaza strip in that case. and the 3rd point is no withdrawing from the necessary. you, corey, though that's according to the, the bites a north of in southern causes trips into 2 parts into students have to cross.
12:14 pm
in that case, that is where any check point is maybe for how much most important there is no commitment for a permanent ceasefire. that seems to be the idea now that you have a 1st phase of 6 weeks and then you start to negotiate a permanent ceasefire. that is something how much from now is not accepting many in israel have been racing for a possible attack by iran. and it's proxies in response to the assassination of from us as a political leader into iran. does that add some urgency kareem to the negotiations on guys? and i think that's the better the reason why is it negotiations was thought of it was started by this pressure, that of course, afraid that that would be a further explanation. the reason reason that's something they want to prevent unethical tier, like also to the best present bible individual. quite
12:15 pm
a convention promise. now us, he's probably, there's a lot of pressure to us just under right now is a head of a depression on to the 2 sides. green. thank you very much. that was uh, corresponded journalist, dream of why in kyra. let's see what's up. let's take a look at some other stories making headlines today. us intelligence officials say around was likely responsible for hacking attacks on republican candidate donald trump's campaign team. the epi, i, and other agencies suggested the breach was part of the scheme by to, around to interfere with the us elections. they did not reveal what information was accessed in italy and coast guard is continuing to search for 6 people missing from a luxury yacht, off the coast of sicily, the sink of a sudden storm. on monday, the divers are attempting to find the missing to spend among the missing are british checkouts for new, or mike lynch and the sherman of morgan stanley international jonathan bloomer,
12:16 pm
ukrainian sword. he's headquartered families with children to evacuate from the key eastern city of cross russian troops are advancing on the city, which is a ukrainian logistics hub. and they've done yet, screech and it's capture could we can ukraine's defense abilities and supply rooms ukraine's president blogging me as well as he has said. the goal of his country's incursion into russia is to create a buffer zone to protect against further russian attacks. his statement that goes russian president vladimir putin, his claims about russia's offensive in the hockey region in the spring. he was a close look at ukraine's 1st major campaign across the russian border and the possible strategy behind it. ukrainian soldiers fighting in cross trying to take new territory and to hold onto what they've gained already. ukraine
12:17 pm
says it wants a buffer zone territory that russia needs to crossover. if it wants to attack this is the territory you crane claims to have seized in the course region. it says more than a 1000 square kilometers, but that's just 3 percent of the overall. russian says it's evacuated, more than a 120000 people from their homes. about 1000000 people live in greater cost, which is mainly agricultural. so what does cross cab that ukraine wants for one thing, there's a major airbase still well outside of ukraine's area of control, but much closer to its range limited missiles. russia uses the space to launch attacks on ukrainian soil and taking it out would be a major game. russia also uses course to send troops and equipment into ukraine, taking the territory and blowing up bridges as ukraine did over the weekend. and on monday makes it much harder for moscow to deliver mann and supplies where they're
12:18 pm
needed. ukraine says it is. i'm trying to take rest as territory in order to occupy or exploit it. but if you crane once and buffer it needs to hold the land, it's conquered. it's already started placing mines to defend what it's taken. and russia, it has started to build more fortifications and dig trenches within its own territory to contain the ukraine in advance. the further ukraine pushes the russians away, the bigger the buffer zone, and the harder it is for russia to attack ukrainian territory. marina and maryland is a military expert at king's college, london. i asked her what she makes of the landscape claim that the course incursion is about creating a buffer zone. a good morning, terry. well, there are a couple of military aims that ukraine pursued,
12:19 pm
and it's probably not so much the creation of a buffer zone. but more importantly, drawing russian forces away from them. but us, we're ukrainian forces are critical. and as far as a buffer zone is concerned, before look at the map, we need to understand that in order to create that buffer zone in order to prevent potential russian attacks on the assume, the region which we have heard about 2 months ago. the were speculations that the russians would continue their harking offensive and expand. assuming ukraine would need to control more territory to establish better logistics. and it would need to control at least core and evaluated golf and risk which ukraine doesn't control, or maybe is a city, of course, and it's still too far away. ukraine doesn't seem to have the momentum right now. so the appraisal temple has slowed down. however,
12:20 pm
this small territories that you create in house right now, is it going to make a difference in the grander scheme of things in terms of preventing the russians from operating efficiently. i don't think so. we ukraine's advance in course, must also tie up a lot of ukrainian resources. why not use those resources to defend the eastern territory? it's a prop cross square. russia is continuing to make gains. this is a difficult situation. a for ukraine and for you, cranium command for military command, because on the one hand, ukraine, lex manpower on the other hand, ukraine lex equipment was a political uncertainty on the quote in the global sphere, especially with a upcoming us selections. and the fact that ukraine has been suffering setbacks, the ukrainian side has to do something, because they're getting supplies from western partners is very,
12:21 pm
very uncertain for ukraine, meaning that it humpers operational planning and say, this is a way off of gamble to achieve a specific media effect on the one hand to pull some morale or few cranium fruits and maybe show the population that it's worth joining the ranks because there are issues with the recruitment of personnel. and also the potential of using this territory during peace negotiations with russia, where you crane would have done a stronger position if it can hold that territory. now that strategic gamble comes at a price at a price where russia didn't fall into that trap, or at least the as of yet, and didn't free deploy the troops from those locations in the don't buy, such as trustworthy are such as threats come across to kursk i'm therefore, now we have that problem in the don't boss where ukrainian troops are all gummed. and under a staff they are advocating population from across. and the russians,
12:22 pm
a pushing force or new york has allegedly already fallen. um, the risk might these and next, the russians have entered threats, and those are all important, logistical helps with a ukrainian force as meaning that there is a chance that while the best equipped to invest trends units upside down encourage the russians could potentially take those cities and bring the front styles of across to your co ops are thank you so much for your observations. there. there was marina marilyn from kings college learned. the german court has rejected an appeal by a 99 year old woman who was convicted of crimes committed during germany's nazi error. m god was given a 2 year suspended sentence for being accessory to over 10000 murders when she was secretary to the s s. commander of the studhoff concentration camp,
12:23 pm
an estimated $65000.00 people died and stood whole, including jewish prisoners, polish partisans, and soviet prussian prisoners of war. dw political correspondent, thomas barrow has more on this. now. tell us, give us more details on what him god was convicted out in god. f was a secretary, if you will for the command of stood tall and a such as she was responsible for internal and external communications for transcribing letters and so on. and the big question that came out during this trial was to what extent she actually knew of what was happening in stuart halls and judges throughout the trial, were able to confirm that she was aware of what was happening, inch to toss during the 2 years that she was working day when she was working,
12:24 pm
baset was only 18 and 19 years old, and that's why she was convicted of being complicit in uh, during those around 10000 cases. it's particularly relevant because her defense lawyers had actually hope for her acquittal, asking well, considering whether it was actually possible to confirm the young doubt that them got s had actually known what was happening and still 12 during the year is that your work day and this is just one of several cases linked to nazi crimes that has been getting attention in germany in recent years. isn't it? thomas? absolutely. and many of these cases have faced similar di lan, most similar challenges. one has to do with the age of the people involved. we're talking here over 9 to 9 year old woman and the fact that the crimes actually happened around 80 years ago. judges today when they upheld that conviction,
12:25 pm
stress that's specifically when it comes to mother a complicity in murder. there is no statute of limitations. does one important element. the 2nd one is to what extent people who were not directly involved in killings during the gnostic period in concentration come. so people like them got f, who uh, basically working at a desk writing, let us or those who are working as guides. or those who are working in transporting things from one concentration come to the next. to what extent these people were also responsible for the crimes that happened in stuart hall. this is something that judges have been considering now for around a decade. in particular. seems a case that happened in 2011 where they shifted their attention from that already focusing on those who would directly responsible for crime. so for those to actually killed the people who operate to the gas chambers, but also those who played a part in the machinery. and that's why this particular case and others that have
12:26 pm
happened in recent years have been particularly important when it comes to germany, dealing with this historical responsibility on dealing with the responsibility that comes with those people who are involved implementing those crimes. tell us, thanks for explaining that for us. so it was our political correspondent told us bear countries across the world have been welcoming the night sky phenomena known as a super boon and ancient greek temples. south of athens was dwarfed by the moon. on monday evening. event clause was the moon to appear much larger than usual as is orbit passes closer to earth. sunday, superman was also witnessed in asia, australia, the middle east in the americas. if you missed this one, don't despair. the next super moon will be upon us. next month.
