the, the, this is the w news. why the from berlin tonight, ukraine says is captured, another town inside russia. our reporter is imbedded with those troops. we are having to pay close attention to the ground in front of us. the next 35th street havent been set up yet and the appraisal is with us all for the notice is also coming up tonight, the high school football coach turned governor, turned would be vice president of the united states. that's how we'll turn the page on donald trump. that's how we'll build a country where workers, comp, 1st health care and housing are human rights. minnesota governor,

tim was fires of delegates of the democratic national convention as he becomes the official running mate of pamela harris. and a lifeline for millions, facing famine in more torn sudan, a key border crossing with chad reopens to allow in desperately need a. the, i break off. it's good to have you with this you grading and present of all the reason. lensky has made his 1st visit to the border area with russia. and since you gradient troops launch their salt into rushes course region. so is he met with army commanders? he said, ukraine has no plans to occupy the area in the long term, but he wants to create a buffer zone to block attacks immediate attacks on you crate. so lensky did not cross the border into russia. dw in cali joins

us from the ukranian side of the border. nick, good to see you. you had just returned from the russian side. tell me um, what is the situation there? what did you see a well, obviously it is very unfamiliar right. using the same scenes that we've seen now for to know if he is in ukraine in the south and east, you have those abandoned streets. a few old people trying somehow survive against the backdrop of ought to refine the distance. except this time it's in russia. has to be said though, compared to some of the places you might have heard of in the east of ukraine around i've got yes, if you all more recently to fighting released the century, 5 is not very intensive there. that often it does come with tv, but it's sort of kind of close the backdrop. but what makes the situation deputy kind of unusual and what made the appraisal just be with that pretty nervous was quite how unclear the front line still. all right, so we know that the grains have about 13 companies. they've moved inside the

country inside the russian contact tree, but that's the law. groups of russian soldiers, assuming the operating vine, ukrainian lines. so it's all pretty flexible and pretty unclear and potentially dangerous. we weren't in bed, so we weren't fully freed to move around as we might have wanted that space. it any way to get that. let's have a look at what we felt back since yesterday. the windows of the brain. you know, my personal care you properly unlimited view, empty streets and the occasional sound of showing in the distance. you could be somewhere along different lines in ukraine. but this is russia, ukraine control which means that we will have to go with us the route. we're not able to do it really well for now. that is pretty much the way to get in. let's get some idea of what's going on in the story. no one knows how many russian civilians were left behind when ukrainian forces across the border. locals

told us the towns where snow thirty's simply go to that cause and flight. those remaining had no running water, no power. and crucially, no phone signal for 2 weeks now. cut off from use and their families and the rest of russia. compared to many places and eastern ukraine, it seems comparatively quiet. the ukrainian soldiers accompanying us, or on edge we were just trying talk to some locals here in subject, and they was a big shout from will ukraine troops, us, they have seen russians all the drawing up in the sky above which would normally get coordinates for to the reward, the strikes that could potentially be coming this way. licksey demetrius keeps key, is the spokesperson for the new created ukrainian ministry come on in coast region . he says he never expected to be here. like russia, he says, ukraine has no plans. tonics territory. i'm just because it should say that we don't want to keep this land, we don't need it to them to. we've had to do this to sure. and to me that they're

vulnerable as well. but, and so that they're not all powerful. the reading, some of the things leaders want the world and only russians to see images like this . they want me russians to put pressure on vladimir putin to move troops away from the front lines in the east of ukraine to defend russian. so a hit and coast for now, it seems that they're not doing that. they're not moving those institutes away from don't best, but the hope among the friendships here as long as this goes on. and the more recent after they take that eventually for us, it will be forced to drill down exclusively. we're going to see somebody locals. we're hiding in a cellar. nearby, the streets are empty. basically, what you can hear of generates is existence. there's still no power here and very occasionally, some ukrainian transport it's mainly the elderly and those looking off to sick friends and relatives who stay behind the people we meet, stay close to the basement where they sleep for safety. no one offered me

a chance to evacuate the motion of people got out on their own in their cars or yeah, no to who i live alone. busy my daughter lives far away. i had no way of getting out via mobile cell is using i was looking after an elderly friend. she was sick before. i couldn't just leave her helper black. she died yesterday and we buried her today. many of the left homeless by the continuing to re fi between ukrainian forces here in pseudo russian forces nearby, my house was bomb to them, but there's only a crater left. i was here when it happened yesterday. and this is a house just destroyed the tutor. it has been built to do my best to work of setting up humanitarian car doors to allow these people to reach areas under

russian government control. the sofa is no more than talk to me of the whole thing . if i came to work and sewage in that day, we didn't understand what was happening. i've been here ever since. my parents are back in the village and share 84 and 83 years old. i don't know what's happened to them and they don't know what's happened to me. then something we weren't expecting to see the screen, you know me, spokes person gets out his laptop. so these russian civilians, video from butcher the town, a key of what russian troops accused of carrying out what crimes when they controlled area local, seem exhausted, fairly able to take anything in the moment. the review was more about how ukrainian soldiers, russian sort of feeling that does about russians appears on the war. some ukrainian soldiers seemed to think this, they can show ordinary russians what was done in the name and ukraine. and perhaps those russians were question regarding the approach and story of what he calls the special military operation in ukraine. we don't have time to say anymore. we're told it's time to leave nick,

it's excellent reports. they are fascinating insights on the other side of the battle line. and it seems that the ukranian troops in russia were almost as surprised by the speed of this operation as everyone else. i think that's true and we're increasingly learning from reports some along with some more direct attributes it that the frames have tried to cross the border and other parts of russia and brad's guns and build roads of west and east prospectively of where i am here in so me on the board with coast region and that didn't work out. they might have gotten a few kilometers and then being pushed back. so the fact that this worked out and that it proved so possible to get that fall. and so based on this very being on basically now, 2 weeks, we've got reports of ukraine troops up to afford to go with a deep interest directory and some thoughts. i know there need the territory, the valuable, controlling. it's also about presentable. we've had ukraine is i'll just tell us that they have captured more russian soldiers over the past 2 weeks. then in the

previous 2 and a half years of the war. and these old people can be exchanged boyfriend's hell. the rest of the russian has been very reluctant to give more kind of elite ukrainian units and will be kind of more experienced ukraine troops who are in maryville for instance. we'll fix the as a freshman, they have kept those back. and now the air in your brain is that in return for these recipes as well as some of the people will come home. so that is a kind of have been totally things to worry about is about your brand new. so this would be the rest of the potentially coming home. soon as you mentioned, the boucher in your reports and one of the places russians carried out atrocities in ukraine. is there a sense among ukranian troops that they must do all they can to avoid harm to russian civilians? are they cognizant of the watchful eye of the world? i think that is something that is very clear to the brand new in the process. certainly something that they all paint and to see me people excited about this

appraising, just driving behind me that we have seen lots of you guys as media reports, videos, all of the things i was heading out to monitoring aid, a, bringing doctors to treats the other people there and so just some of this overseas about the kind of p all baffle. but i think is something you hear from the crying soldiers of camera is they will tell you, we have nothing against the russians in russia. that is the land, but i'll try to take it. we have something against russians in ukraine, and it's not about food and, and they are very close to invite you to a free the present while citrix been as well. and so just that, that will also help to the motivate russian some fighting invited me, for instance, on the hope is by showing that ukraine is not bad to, and it fits of russia. they can prevent only russian society up to fight. and you need, before you let you go to the you are back in the ukraine to night. there are reports that say that russia is the issue, international arrest warrants for journalists who enter occupied territory. there is a risk of how is that affecting your work?

if at all that we're not able to revolt from russell from the russian oaks by bits of ukraine, we don't have a credit stations. they are not included in giving us that access. it for us immediately, little changes. i think it looks like more dentist will be going to so just to close with these kind of embedded trips, i presume me, that'd be more of these cases going. i interesting things to kind of point out about this is that according to russell, all the places in east new brain with the reporting on for 2 years and from the source book roll school kind of something. so that is all according to russian. what was the russian but seemingly, they don't need to open some of those people actually in those areas. they. so make a difference between the 1st, especially recognized person directory and bits of ukraine that rushes on it, i think for now it doesn't mean a great deal, but certainly it is an attempt to dissuade people from going some scaring people. for now, it doesn't seem like it's working. we need, we certainly do appreciate your excellent reporting and we appreciate that you are in safety tonight back in ukraine economy. nick think

we're going to the united states, minnesota governor tim waltz has accepted the us democratic parties. combination for us, vice president, now that makes him the official running bait for a couple of harris who will give her accepted speech to the democratic national convention in just a few hours time. was a former high school football coach. energized convention delegates last night and he turned the spotlight on his own family. the emotions running high gosh, and when you are my entire world, and i love you this 70 moment one over hot one, social media it's 10 boards formerly accepted. this body's nomination for wife president, he's think of preserving the freedoms that them to see under that tax from,

from accept your nomination. and no matter who you are. calmly, harris is gonna stand up and fight for your freedom to live the life that you want to leave because that's what we want for ourselves. and it's what we want for our neighbors. the democratic national conventions, todd night. showcase media faces such as form our house speaker, nancy pelosi and former president. bill clinton both to came at mr. trump mostly talks about himself. right. so the next time you hear him don't care for was count. they are let us not forget who assaulted democracy on january 6th. he did

it was a night that started started lineup of performances and speak. a legendary tv present of oprah winfrey was a surprise guest. she, us, americans to elect common a head is let us choose freedom. why? because of that stuff. the stuff. 6 right, so we're all americans and you gather lots. 7 to call the the all the glitz and glamour build up. put com la head. it says acceptance feeds and door lights will be on the most important moment for political goodies so far. rachel rizzo, is a senior fellow over the atlantic council. the think tank. i asked her of what she may. so tim walters speech. well i think for tim

was he wasn't trying to get a new message across. i think he was trying to reach to uncommitted voters who may not be as familiar with who we is. and that's who his method was directed out. he played up for his persona as an every man, just a guy from the middle west, who served in the military who coach football, who taught at the local high school, the kind of person that many americans, many uncommitted potentially americans on registered americans could identify with kind of person who recognizes your neighbor, your neighbor, and he really threw, i think a personal story here, especially with his families, hardship, and struggle. um, when it came to starting a family, there was that viral moment where his family stood up in tears. so i think that's really what he was go last night and he headed out of the park. and tonight we're going to hear from cumberland harris. she is expected to tell her story to the

nation in the world. what are you expecting to hear from her? so besides election night that's coming up in november, this is going to be the biggest night of her career. this is going to be the biggest speech of her career. and i sort of compare this moment to brock obama who we also heard from at the dnc this week. he had that 2004 speech that really launched his career. his 2008, gmc, yes, we can speech both of which people look back on with this deep sort of mystical reverence. and i think that is what cala harris could have tonight. if this star is a line for her. so expect a message of, you know, hope and um, ambition and drive and her immigrant story. and you know, this may be sort of audacity of hope message that obama once spread when he was a younger petition. we'll see how that goes tonight. but that's kind of what i

expect for her. do you think that after tonight the, the, the honeymoon, if you will, particularly with the media will end there have been some of the complaints that come with the hair is, has not been very accessible to the media that she has not been answering many questions. she hasn't had a lot of time. we have to, you know, put that point out there. i mean, she's got a lot of communicating to do between now and election day, doesn't she to oh yeah, i mean, broadway. i think what they're trying to do is restore this lightness an optimism to american life. and to reclaim this concept of freedom from conservatives. this encompasses everything from rica to reproductive rights to new economic relief for the working class to access to health care safety for mass shootings. and to get those points across means you have to be accessible. you have to be on method, you have to talk to the press and your whole team needs to be people that they can

go to. and we don't have a lot of time until november, of course. so i would expect that to sort of change between here and november, rachel rizzo with the atlantic council as always we appreciate your time and your analysis. rachel. thank you. i. let's take a look now. some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. venezuela's supreme court has ratified president nicholas maderos. victory in july is disputed election. the court, which is packed with the juror of loyalist said voting tallies, published online, showing he lost by a landslide, were for the opposition. his accused with 0 of stealing. the booked at least 8 migraines drowned when their boat capsized while crossing the torino river from serbia. to boss me. around 25 people were on board most from syria. many migrants use the so called the belkin route through serbia to reach western your

and is rarely delegation has arrived in cairo, egypt to a head of peace talks aimed at ending 10 months of war. and gossip. negotiations are set to resume saturday. us gyptian and guitar mediators are trying to salvage a deal that would pause the fighting and free the remaining hostages, held by him off, which you may remember committed the october 7th terror attacks in israel. meanwhile, israel has been keeping up it's attacks in gaza. palestinian health officials say at least 27 people have been killed there in the last day. packing up their lives again, as israel issues, new evacuation, notice that these goals and uprooted once more in hong units, life seems hopeless. this is what you need. if liberty is really army causes to evacuate from one area to another. and this is our situation in gaza. about there

is no hope and then it goes to nations, even with katara and the gyptian is there is no hope. their role is that it for mediators not pressure and is, are you on it as a lot? and here we are, the civilians paying the price a little more so i will work with all of its the palestinian health officials say is really a tax of killed dozens more people throughout the district. and the last day the house was blown up and everyone inside children, man, women. it says if the house had never been built, it's like it never existed. pres, for any ceasefire to save civilian lives, go on on, said, or many thousands are exhausted by suffering. and desperate for an end to the fighting the time, begging them to reach an agreement for being slaughtered about israel is fighting for it. simple and mazda is fighting for its people. sharp enough is and not have

it, but they both need to make concessions. our children are gone. how can we return to our homes without our children? both come us and israel accuse the other of blocking any potential trace control of gauze as border with the egypt. an area known as the philadelphia, colorado remains a red line, the israel philadelphia, colorado. the border between egypt and israel. b. i must, lifeline of terrorist smuggling is so crucial. so reports that the prime minister has agreed to that as well will withdrawal from the philadelphia, colorado, all in correct. israel says it's a tax of the best way to put pressure on a mass to release hostages taken in the october 7th terrorist attacks. but with gaza already in ruins and tens of thousands of civilians dead. the palestinian militant group still hasn't been broken. a keyboard of crossing into

sedans in babylon, door for region has reopened, to allowing in desperately needed a trucks carrying food use the andre crossing with chad, which club was closed for 6 months? millions of people in sudan had been at risk of famine since war broke out last april. the fighting has cut off the city of l. fleischer. the international committee of the red cross is appealing to the warring parties to allow supplies into the city were thousands of civilians are tracked as we would have bringing now. padre, you said, who is the african director of the international committee of the red cross who joins us tonight from geneva. it's good to have you with this humanitarian aid has been allowed into sedan after months. now do you consider this a regular for that 1st and foremost, um,

i think it's an extremely important move to allow trucks and humanitarian aid to cross into the for region because the aid was coming just done, but some parts are done and that's the 1st to be allowed, and that's a very commendable step from very happy to say that to them. yes, we have managed to get some direction. and now the question is, how can we deliver this to last year? and how can we get much more into the country in the time where the rainy season has started and the trucks and logistics of it will be extremely difficult to get there. and we hope that the 3 months will be extended and that all the procedures will be clearly spelled out so that we be able to do as our colleagues have done in a quicker and efficient manner as well. mister hughes, typical, i'm wondering what is standing in the way of bringing a to l. foncher and also how are hospitals they are? how are they cooking?

well the i think we need to be we need to be aware that the security is a major obstacle for all issue monitoring the aide and the delivery of those services. we need people on the ground, we need the conditions to be safe and all the facilitation possible in the midst of fighting shelling and when bergman's it's just impossible to be able to get closer to people and listen to their needs and not just district good food but indeed look into the situation of health services and so the hospital and as dying were severely hit. i know that also so the hospital does not functioning all the primary health care centers of thought. i would save more than a year now supporting the population. that's not sustainable, so it is a great move to start getting the trucks in. but again,

the just isn't getting closer to people and making sure that the warning parties respect the, the commitments made in gender respect, international humanitarian law, and a law again, a better protection for the civilians under their watch. you, you mentioned the warring parties, the cities army, it's one of the parties to this conflict is boycotting. the ongoing piece talks in geneva, switzerland, where you are, is there still hope for any progress in europe? it as well. i wouldn't go as far as the calling they say, you know, a piece, a piece, the agreement for the time being. i think the simple common denominator is to reach a ceasefire in the most needy places in the most critical places in where the concentration of internal displays or refugees have taken a huge dog and them on their life. busy and their livelihoods, and i think again,

while i commend any effort to bring the to the weapon letters the army, the sued, i use army and yourself to any go she ation table. i really hope that they 1st come to play the importance of preserving the life and dignity of those under their watch, and make sure that again, respecting the lives and dignity of people is through the respect of how they conduct their facilities. now i'm hopeful that with the a great opening that there be other measures to be able to deliver aid and make sure that while the war is happening, that the rules of the war be respected. patrick usage, african director of the international committee of the red cross. we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us this evening. thank you. thank you so much. i as you're watching dw news, i'll be back in 90 minutes with more world news followed by the day global us is up
