the, the, this is the news live from her led us democrats raised the curtain on the final night of their national convention. the parties party is underway in chicago, as everyone awaits the headlines speech by commer harris. she's due to formerly accept the democratic nomination for president, also coming up to the news with ukrainian forces inside russia, we find a handful of civilians left behind without power running water or phone 6. the i'm so you can do the in berlin. welcome to our show. democrats in the us are

gearing up for the climax of their 4 day convention in chicago. a speech by comma harrison, which she accepts, the party's nomination for president of the united states. thousands of delegates are attending the final night of the convention. harris is expected to sketch out her policy agenda and her vision for the future. should she become the next us president, or running mates and waltz, spoke on wednesday evening, a deer porter at stuff on simon's a standing, someone simons, as standing outside, the conventions that are in chicago. it's definitely welcome. there's a lot of anticipation about this, about harris a speech. what can we expect to hear while you're absolutely right, i mean this, the billing behind me here, the united center where the d. n. c, the democratic national convention is happening is at capacity today. 25000 souls in there and all excited for what's pamela harris has to say? so what do we anticipate? what do we expect? she will have to make the case of introduction. she will extra believe it or not

introduce herself to a wider audience because it is expected as 1000000 tens of millions of people perhaps will turn on their television and watch her and what you have to say. so hey, re introduce yourself beats. make the case why you are the right pick for this job president for what you're running for. while it's help, of course, that president biden endorsed are really, really quickly, and certainly what is on your political agenda. now, there's the tricky thing. she will not go too much into detail. she'll probably not touch really controversial issues, but will refer to her background as a prosecutor and will paint a stark contrast to what donald trump 65 in her eyes. and in the eyes of the democrats. stuff on it, harris emerged as the democratic candidate little more than a month ago. but she getting enormous support from her party very quickly and we've seen for the past few days, they're eager to project this kind of vision of

a visual of, of unity. how does she managed to do that? how has the party managed to do that given what could have been a divisive issue with succeeding by and as a candidate as you're absolutely right, it's rather complex and how much time do you have? so i'll keep this short then the key was really here that she got the endorsement from a president by knew very, very quickly. the president bowed out in the past on the torch, as the democrats call this. and she was the number 2. now, if you as a party, want to bypass a vice president, you must have really big reasons to do so. those big reasons were not there and the problem or the difficulty to the walk as a fine line between being responsible for what this administration so far stands for and what she is going to plan, what she's planning to do when she is in charge. when she is president,

that is something that of a challenge for the democrats, but so far they're doing a pretty darn well jobs. managing this and convincing people as states, a pulse and latest national pulse. you know, the truth. they do a really good job to convince the public that she is able to distance herself and keep on with new things, but keep the mays, the floor plan of the, by the ministration, basically, life stuff on briefly. then would you say that being vice president has that been to her benefit, or is it actually draw back a, as she campaigns further? i think for many it's a, it's a, it's beneficial for her in the eyes of many voters, but not all. again, we just coming from a protest, 8 empty war, israel guys, a war protest. and those people here who stand for, let's say, 50700000 potential voters. even if just a few 1000 show up here to protest. they are not happy with the current state of,

of, of this problem, the israel guys, i'll watch what the, by the administration does and today uh, put camella harris and joe biden in one post. so this is going to be a challenge. she will have challenges within the democratic party, as well as in the general public with this right up here, puerto stuff on simon's outside the convention center in chicago. thank you. all right, let's take a look now. some of the other stories making headlines around the world. volcano and southwestern iceland has wrapped it for the 6th time since december, spewing lava and smoke into the air. the russian causing almost 4 kilometer long fisher in the earth to open volcanoes in a sparsely populated area. and is not disrupting flights. the nearby kept slavic international airport israel as long as the wave attacks across the gaza strip and the run up to cease fire talks set to resume in cairo on saturday. the mos run garza health authorities as least $27.00 people were killed,

where you crane is setting up a military command, post the windows, the grain, you know, my personal carrier, properly unlimited view, empty streets, and the case also i'm 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 route. we're not able to do it freely. 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 fled. those remaining had no running water, no power. increasingly no phone signal for 2 weeks now. cut off from use and their families and the rest of russia compared to many places in easton, 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 shot from are you coming to to us? they have seen a russian this all the drawing up in the sky above, which would normally get coordinates for to the rate or the strikes that could potentially be coming this way. licksey demetrius keeps key, is the spokes person for the newly created ukrainian ministry. come onto and co squeeze, and he says he never expected to be here. like russia. he says, ukraine has no pants. tonics territory. i'm just across there should say, is that we don't want to keep this land. we don't need to to them to let that. we've had to do this to show our enemy that they're vulnerable as well. let me show you that they're not all powerful. for in the, some of the things leaders want the world and told me 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. and now it seems that they're not doing that. they're not moving those institutes away from dumbass. but hope i'm going to ukraine soup, serious loaded. 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 in the distance 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 stayed 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 you know, to who i live alone. busy my daughter lives far away. i had no way of getting out via mobile. so i was looking after an elderly friend. she
