the let us not forget who assaulted democracy on january 6th. he did it was a night that started started lineup of performances and to speak a legendary tv presenter. oprah winfrey was a surprise guest. she, us, americans to elect common a head is let us choose freedom. why? because that's the best. 6 right, so we're all americans and to gather let's. 7 choose the all the glitz and glamour is a build up. put com la headed says acceptance feeds and door lights will be on the most important moment for political goodies so far. right,

let's get more from the w reports and tablets any. let's get to see pablo. this really was the biggest speech of symbols as life was and that tell us more what, what he talked about, what tone he struck. well, you set up before very energetic. this was his chance to introduce himself to the world, introduce himself to american voters who aren't particularly familiar with them and talked about his background as a school teacher. as a coach, he made many references to reflect anything and for the football coach, he also talked about the fact that he'd been in the national guard for over 2 decades. he introduced his family to so he has be very reliable elements which he wanted to get across. and he's also quite a good speaker. he came across quite relaxed, quite funny and engaging for people. but also he went on the fence as well. let's not forget that he is the governor of minnesota. he is a politician. he knows how to get his message across. and he was a congressman before that. and he went after trump, i knew made

a lot of comments with regards to freedom, which was the theme of the night and talking about the have essentially the republicans are going to take freedom away from americans. and he was told them at how the democrats are very much a party of a personal freedoms. and what goes on in your own home is up to you. so this was a very clear message that he wanted to get across with regards to reproductive rights. in many respects he was quite possible wasn't a he to read about he and his and his wife's own experience with facility treatment, correct. and he spoke about that and thought has actually been criticized as well by the republicans, not just about the fact that he saw it pretend to be treatment. but it was actually the type of facility treatment that was sort of out there. they've kind of gone after him saying that they made it seem that he was talking at all or the ask, but it was actually a different type of treatment. but at the end of the day, the republicans will go after at b, nit picking and looking at all the details which has to be expected in this campaign. but essentially he was introducing himself to america wasn't hand really, as he said, introducing himself as the football coach. right?

the every man, apart from the democratic policy faithful. i mean, obviously the, the atmosphere at the convention is really positive, really excited. but he is kind of preaching to the converted out the convention, isn't he so who else is he pitching his message to? well, let's not forget that he is from the midwest. he actually grew up in nebraska, he's coming across as they sort of relate to bull character. and the democrats have a big issue, which is that they've lost a lot of white men at voting for the democrats. and they've shifted to a republican. so they sailed and perhaps was someone who can actually bring those voters back to us as well, about the economy. and he focused very much on watson economists as quote, populace the issues that, that the democrats are seeking in this election. one being that they're going to be giving grants to essentially middle class voters at, for buying their 1st home as well with regards to health care costs and also to

food costs, which is actually also being criticized because it's one element which is food at price gouging which republicans are saying that that's too much interference with regards to the economy. so they've done after the democrats in that area too, but he wanted to highlight that their theme, the theme of this, this election is looking after the middle costs louder. okay. now as we were saying that the mood among democrats is overwhelmingly positive, isn't that there's a lot of excitement about what's happening. but that is not the whole story because hundreds of pro palestinian protest is gathered outside the convention center cooling on the democratic policy to end miller treat funding for israel and to commit to an immediate cause that sees fun of the chicago area. that's where the convention is being held is home to one of the largest palestinian communities in the u. s. and have a so called uncommitted national movement with spots by dissatisfaction with

president biden's handling of the israel. how my floor and has so i see 6 delegates at the convention. so pablo, how much of a challenge is that to the higher schools campaign? i mean, how important a palestinian american or our american versus whether estimates from the last election in 2020, that almost 70 percent of muslims in the united states voted for joe biden. so that's a significant percentage of people. also the population of arab americans is quite high in the middle east, in the middle east, in the mid west. so that's also an area where they're really looking at actually winning because these are a lot of the swing states that they really need to hold onto that. but they're happy in issues in that when it comes to guys that harris has been a bit more vocal in her criticism of, of the situation there of the war that's going on. but she does need to actually a 9th, a clear message and have a clear message to the voters of have she will proceed and come up with some type

of at least sort of solution in her eyes to the situation. there. a speaking of clear messages and specifics, let's talk about policy. i mean, did we learn anything from wolves, of speech, about how democrats, you know, wanting to golf? and was there any policy details? because this is something that republicans have been criticized like, isn't absolutely. and like i said before, he touched on a lot of those sort of what have been called a populist economic policies. he, they told you on it, but even go into much detail. he was expressing a lot of support for hi results. perhaps even sort of giving come a higher is more sort of that will say pressure, no pressure, but it can lead to in that direction. but you have to look at the night in general who was speaking and that gives us an indication of what direction the democrats are going. and so apart from the economy, you had speakers who were at dealing with eligibility to rights, and abortion rights advocates. you also have leaders of liberal groups that are

dealing with issues that are affecting women and certain percentages and, and, and groups in society such as latino voters. but one topic that also requires greater emphasis from the democrats is immigration, because that's an area that the republicans have really criticized carla harris on, on the democrats in general, that is being chaotic that she hasn't been clear and that there are issues there. and they really need to come up with a care policy. it appears from yesterday's features that they're headed more it towards the republicans a bit stricter on immigration, perhaps a coming down a bit more heavy will say on, on people who are entering the united states. either illegally or um, documented. okay, well details that will presumably be more specific android confirmed in the, in the, in the coming days and weeks probably 30 minutes. thank you so much. thanks on. all right, let's take

a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. and rescue is have found 5 bodies on board, a, c, p u on the side of the coast of sicily, italian media, se they include the research, tech entrepreneur, mike lynch, such as teams. also looking for one more missing passenger. the vessel was wrecked by a violent storm. thousands of people have protested outside in nations parliament in jakarta. the government wants to reverse the court ruling a that would open up move seats to smaller policies. so are you cranes, president, florida means the landscape says that ukrainian forces all continuing to attack in russia's coast region even as most go presses forward on the front lines in ukraine's east. now this footage, released by ukrainian special forces show strikes on russian pontoon crossings in the cook area. ukraine has already destroyed at least 3 bridges over the river, same as it seeks to create

a buffers loan in the border region. most code claims its troops have stops, you cranes, advance dw correspondent economy has been embedded with ukranian troops during their operations in the coast region. he accompanied them as they headed for the town of sasha, just beyond the border with russia, where ukraine assessing of the military command office is this report. so here in subject, the ukraine troops have down to then instruct you just as russian soldiers multiplied ukraine, have been putting leonard statues back up. the question that everyone is asking is all ukranian troops here today. this is just another border rate that will end in a couple of days. or are you creating troops where you're going to begin here, set out some kind of administration, and stay and hold this territory until this worth of i'm just because it should say that we don't want to keep this land. we don't need to

to them good. we've had to do this to show our enemy that they're vulnerable as well, but, and so that they're not all powerful for, you know, someone who is looking to see them, the locals were hiding in a cellar nearby, the streets are empty basically where you can hear all generators in the distance this the power here and very occasionally some ukrainian motor transport where there's no phone connection, no electricity, nothing. we can't charge anything. no one warned us. our government forgot about us . they've got a few people out, but most were left behind. it was too late. my house was bomb. there's only a crater left. the house has destroyed. no one offered me a chance to evacuate. the motion of people got out on their own and their cars are you had no to who i live alone. my daughter lives far away. i had no way of getting out via mobile to sell it using i was looking after an

elderly friend. she was sick before. i couldn't just leave her. the help of the she died yesterday and we buried her today. sure. no, that's a little difficult thing. people here need some calm. they need some civility or that that's the most important thing for me, but they need the explosions as to how many different people are scared. i was here the day before yesterday. a young couple of came with her son. the next morning the house was gone to my school. don't. i don't know where the rocket came from, but their house has gone through it. of course we want peace, but you've got to understand. neither side is ready for it. yeah. what can we have to do? we are having to pay close attention to the ground in front of us that exploded the name of it. for 5th street. they haven't been cleared up yet. and the printing, so it is with us all for the nova, it's not the force of the off. and that was the w. net connolly, that embedded with ukrainian troops and city associate just inside russia. that's

what we have time for. but do stay with us coming out. next rugs looks at the growing pains of a french island. this aiming to become a carbon neutral source destination on monday keeps mckinnon. thanks for watching. dw, the living independently rise to society is full of contrasts. and any policy is a big many problems can only be solved by working together. yes, i think i pretend as in this leaving, what is home how do we tackle the major issues about time to because there is a significant risk of human instinct.
