the, the, you're watching data we can use live from the leading excitement bills ahead of flu . wadley anticipated presidential debate between pamela harris and donald trump, and not increasingly vol. atara willed out correspondence in international hotspots . take a look at the expectations of the candidates foreign policy stances and the us and its allies announce fresh sanctions on you. ron, for supplying russia with short range missiles for a minute, use again to cry, and us secretary of state. that's me blinking coals that a dangerous escalation of the conflict. the

welcome to the show i am jared rate, donald trump, and come to harris or shortly face off in what is expected to be attends presidential to by stay. first off the campaign, the debate takes place in philadelphia, pennsylvania, one of the so called swing states that can be crucial to securing us election victory since harris replace showed bite. and as the democratic candidate, the race has been tied, poles say trump, and harris are all most tied. or huge numbers are expected to to name both in the us and abroad. double use correspondence have been gauging the mood in the run out to the device. now it's showtime, pamela harris and donald trump have agreed to go have to head on television to try to win over undecided voters. the debatable mostly focus on domestic issues of the

candidates will also lay out that vision for the country's foreign policy. and it's a leather that will have the whole world watching, including ukraine. donald trump has blast up the scale of us support for keith, and has threatened to cut aid if we elected. whereas harris said she would stand strong with ukraine in nato allies, seeing the numbers moving and coming to harris's direction. i think there is a bit of relief that a trump presidency isn't as kind of set to kind of as kind of likely a scenario as was previously thought this to worry. but unlike joe biden, who's the kind of products of the cold war and someone who was committed to american presence in europe. but she is someone from california, from a younger generation, might not be quite as invested in ukraine future. and its success in japan was despite the contradictory statements, moscow is preferred candidate is widely believed to be donald trump, that was the big hoping most go to trump would come to power and basically pull the plug on help for ukraine. and then the division could do anything he wanted to

ukraine, knowing that you currently have would have no other option but to agree to his terms. or israel will also be watching the debate with interest. the government's preferred candidate is also donald trump. yeah, he's allies the right, they hope for trump to be back to the wi fi white house from wi fi. so given the right wing and is really a lot of gifts like moving the embassy from, you know, finally officially to jerusalem. they kind of keep applying online, we come to the white spreading of us elements. this is when it to the always heading. he'd be happy to see trump in the white house again among israel and so position. there is more support for harris, but also reservations, not an easy partner, because we, you know, the ways rarely see her. she's be much tougher. i'm casa, and i'm tell, sydney is issues, you know, pushing israelis and much harder than by the have done so far. but the palestinians have their own reservations. the thing is in general,

the solutions of american supports are very disappointed that you left behind to feel. they have no way to win in a way when it comes to the democrats or the public. you know, the public and bias for his room is quite clear, but even the democrats were supposed to be more on their corner. seemed to be disappointing them. also keeping a close eye on what's happening in the us as taiwan. in recent years, washington has become increasingly engaged in the in the pacific region. what tensions with aging are on the rise, the ruling government and taiwan is hoping for continued support from the new us president, whoever it will be that is concerned about the erotic nature of trends, policies towards that source, taiwan. he was re propelling this now by costs and consensus. so the more focused on is when it comes to china right from the beginning of his 1st time in 2016. that is shifted somewhat. more recently because assessment interviews a trunk has given way he has so suggested that the u. s. has no more than an

insurance company for taiwan, and that's time one is to pay more for its defense when it comes to harrison. still a lot of the car seat is the signal that she intends to keep it pretty the policy of continuously when it comes to the, to not just policies towards taiwan and china, but the brought it in the pacific and not has important implications for the security licenses of us has built over the past couple of years across this region and by extension bolstered in the security of taiwan. the states a high in this presidential campaign, and also harris and trump will be addressing their own citizens in to see the debate. they are real audience is much bigger, but can cross over now to our washington bureau chief eunice poll is nice to see you now the world is going to be watching this device, but of course the candidates, donald trump, mac and campbell. how is that going to be pitching to an audience at home? tell us what are the major concerns of american voters?

yeah, there's a to jared and hey, by the way, it's sofa tastic suspenses night review and resolve yours. as we will follow the debate throughout the whole night. so however, of course, they will be focusing on a national topics even so a divorce and ukraine in israel might influence the legs and as it will be so tight that every topic, members of every vote met or spot in the focus of this debate tonight of course will be the questions about inflation, the economy a that will be the main issues and then also of course if one or both of the candidates kind of can provide convincing plans how to secure jobs, reduce inflation. and also of course, how to manage migration and border security. this will be in the center of tonight's debate now and if you said it every voice masses come with harrison. donald trump, a polling nick and meg is this debate likely to change that or influence polling

numbers in any way? as it definitely will be, is there is like a clear winner and the g or lose, or which we will have to see. but as you said, the board or the the, the race is so tight, especially in these very crucial things, states and especially in pennsylvania. so uh they really have to try to convince those voters who are still on the side and also to energize their own can because at least before a joe biden kind of left the raise. many, many people here in the united states told us that they actually don't like either of the candidates. so tonight, both candidates will also have to kind of convince their own people that it's worth going to the polls. now in this, there was a lot of chatter around this presidential debate, firstly, as whether it was going to happen at all. and secondly, what's going to be the situation with the mikes?

are they going to be me, use it or not musing, when the other is talking? what do the candidates have to achieve in all these to be can see that the winner of the device to the right. so it was really long. clear is donald trump will arrive here in pennsylvania. i'll cancel that last minute, but he has arrived in pennsylvania, so i'm pretty sure it will happen tonight. well, just kind of a couple of harris to achieve. so couple of hers is really facing a challenging a task in presenting a consistent political plan, which she has not done yet beyond the abortion rights. this especially, really has a clear stands as since many years voters are unsure of her stance on key issues like migration, border security, and also for example of relations with china. but what is probably the most difficult for her? it will be how she kind of handles the fact that she was in the bite and minnes administration administration, which menu orders believe boston,

so successful and still kind of an active desire to, to changes. so that's gonna be tricky for her. trump. on the other hand, also has no detail program, but people don't expect or his supporters don't expect that so much from him as he appeals to emotion or rather than to really plans. but he has to position him as someone who is positive rather than this harsh, angry man. this will be crucial for him to attracting these undecided voters. so bottom line tonight, debates will be all about whether harris can provoke trump, or if he can throw her off her. okay, we'll have to wait and see. and of course, as you say you, this will be following this throughout the night, of course, with you as well. that's our washington bureau chief in this poll. thanks very much . it is. as in other news now, the us has formerly accused a ron of delivering ballistic me solves to russia for the war and ukraine and has

announced fresh sanctions in response. speaking on a visit to the u. k. u, a secretary of state antony blinking. sadie ron has supplied short range, ballistic missiles and russia is likely to use them within weeks around has denied delivering the weapons. france, germany and the u. k. have also announced fresh sanction was not bad. what we've got about them. i'd like to welcome ben and ben till a blue who is a senior fellow at the foundation for the defense of democracies. welcome back to date w now and to me, blink. and says, iran has trained thousands of russian military personnel to use these fath 360 close range ballistic missile systems. now, this apparently has a maximum range of 75 miles. tell us what is rustled likely to use these missiles for as well. it's a pleasure to be back with you. and finally, as you mentioned, the much awaited spoken about transfer of the ronnie and ballistic missiles to

russia has happened. this is something that the us government has been speaking about since at least 2022. meaning it would be the other issue to drop. the 1st one being your arms provision in one way attacked rounds or suicide rounds close range ballistic missiles or ballistic missiles that can fly on a parabolic trajectory anywhere from 0 to 300 kilometers. these, as you mentioned, have a little bit of a much, a little bit of a shorter range and on the battlefield they have a tactical use, the complement of artillery by their design. i think in this case that what they'll do for food is to help keep them in the fights, help him be able to take and hold territory as well as to be able to striking, creating positions at that distance. so have they been longer range or potentially larger warheads? i think it really would have been a game changing system. but what is the game changing here is that this state to state transfer from iran to russia, march the 1st ever proliferation of a running ballistic missiles in the history and the 1st one in to europe. i want to

talk about that a little bit more of this cooperation, but firstly, just about these me, sol, so you're saying it kind of keeps the status quote on the battle field. so to say, i understand you correctly are not exactly the status quo. i'm simply saying that these are weapons that allow russian to remain in the fight or in the war it gets to longer, particularly in light of the fact that ukrainian pilots are training on some that 16 is that there are storm shadow weapons and the attack comes that the us a new kind of respectively given. so this allows the russians to conserve their tactical strike power and stay in the fight longer. particularly the scenario where the west transitions, the more sanctions and less military support the russian military advance would be brought to you by these kinds of battlefield system. okay, thank. thank you very much for explaining that and pointing that now the anthony blinking has called this a dramatic escalation. you said a little bit earlier that that the world was expecting

a transfer like this to happen. so is there really a dramatic escalation if, if the expectation was there that it was going to happen as well? uh, i do believe indeed it is a dramatic escalation and a measure of the risk tolerance of the leadership intent wrong. and the willingness of moscow is that a food in general to be able to rely on a constellation of revisionist actors, north korea, china, and they run the key piece military in the fight longer against the ukrainians. when the americans said that they expected that this would happen, that was based on the intelligence that they had back in 2022. and that was the intelligence the media ran within publicized. but the reason it's a dramatic escalation is one. again, it's the furthest every running, ballistic missile proliferation in history. and it's the 1st ever into the european context. and really, the one reason why i think we have to, you know, look at the past year, year and a half with a very critical lens. is because i would say,

because we knew that this proliferation was coming. could the west could washington, could the european union, could nato have done more? the change of arms returns calculus to change your rounds risk reward ratio between when they had given drones and when they had not yet given this. now just lastly, a number of countries including germany, have announced that they didn't post sections of the overall this. is this going to make any kind of difference? do you think of as well had some of these really tell penalties, particularly the ones that we're hearing now from the european union, from the u. k. meeting the banning of the ron air lights because after all this would mean that a civilian national airliner has been helping very dangerous. and the stabilizing weapons further into a different confidence and into a, into a different words on that i think will have significant ripple. i follow on economic, political or legal consequences for the islamic republic, but just as we've seen in syria, unfortunately, some of these sanctions have not changed the regimes of willingness to continue. i

think the lift rate these, these stabilizing systems, so they are necessary. i'm also sorry we should wait just about to and i'll show you. i'm going to have to leave the deb, it's thank you so much for your time tonight. thank you. more on that story on our website, d. w dot com. thanks so much. the pricing is good for you see, so thought i'd say what the, what the old code is have to do with the production. here's a hand.
