the, the, this is dw dues live it from berlin, come to a harris and donald trump. the day after their 1st presidential debate, perhaps their only. there was a handshake followed by 90 minutes of questions on policy and politics, as well as accusations, personal and public interest. minutes after the debate last night, a major endorsement and senior taylor swift took the social media to endorse harris . we'll find out what she had to say. remark entertainment correspond also coming up us secretary of state entity blinking and here's u. k counterpart arrive in ukraine and what blinking cause a critical moment for team and its efforts to repel russia. and these really

reserve is refusing to fight in gone so they reveal why they decided to oppose their governments orders to deploy to the territory. and what they hope to achieve the onboard golf is good to have you. with this, we begin with the us presidential debate between come with the harris and donald trump the day after and what there's 90 minutes might mean on election day in november last night. and philadelphia, us, vice president kamala harris and former us president donald trump slash in a heated presidential debate. the 90 minutes shut down was the 1st chance for americans to see the 2 presidential candidates square all over issues like the economy, migration and reproductive rights of both harris and trump were on a mission to appear commands or to

a spirited and thoughtful us. and it both accused the other of lying with here is questioning trumps fitness for office. and donald trump accusing harris of letting migration spiral out of control in her term is vice president. he repeated in unproved delegation about regular immigrants. in springfield, they're eating the dogs, the people that came in there, eating the catch, they're eating, they're eating the pets of the people that lives there. and this is what's happening in our country. and it's a shame. harris said trumps supporters were getting bored and leaving his political route and she also said trump's refusal to accept the results of the 2020 presidential election poses a threat to american democracy. donald trump was fired by 81000000 people. so let's be clear about that, and clearly he is having a very difficult time processing that. but we cannot afford to have

a president of the united states who attempts, as he did in the past to up and the will of the voters in a free and fair election. or both candidates also disagreed on foreign policy and international issues with the trump blaming here is for russia's war and ukraine and falsely claiming that harris has met with russian president vladimir putin, a center to negotiate peace before this war started. 3 days later he went in and he started the war because everything they said was weak and stupid. they said the wrong things that war should have never started. she was the emissary. they said to rent and negotiate with zalinski and put in. and she did, and the war started 3 days later. well, here's responded by underlining her support for keeping, criticizing trump, for his relationship with vladimir approved us. and that we understand the

importance of the greatest military alliance. the world is ever known, which has nato. and what we have done to preserve the ability of zalinski and the ukrainians to fight for their independence, otherwise potent would be sitting, emptied with his eyes on the rest of europe, starting with poland. what you think is a friendship with what is known to be a dictator who would eat you for lunch to me here in the studio now is my colleague michelle stockman. she fall of the debate and she's been helping us, you know, put these sound bites in these statements into some type of context. let's talk about from where we're sitting here. we're here in europe and we're, we're listening to what was said last night. is there a real threat to piece by one of these candidates? well, to buy one of these candidates. i think that's a great question. both of them. one piece, the question is what they think is an acceptable piece. so obviously a couple of harris backs the biden stance. a 100 percent behind you cream that the

russians invasion of ukraine must be pushed back. and in fact, they think it's the because x a central threat to europe, that sense world war 2. the absolutely coming across. if you listen to what trump was asked and the debate he was asked, is it in the us best interest that ukraine when the war, he dodged the question, he didn't answer it. he said it's best that the war ends. and he said that he could end the war if he's elected even before he is a non rated, because he's such good friends with putting in zalinski. he can make them come together and have peace. but he's at this moment in time, would mean a huge loss of territory of democratic rights for ukraine. so the, the question is really why trump is, is saying this, why he wants to go in, in this direction. and i think it has to come down to his america 1st policy. actually what he was saying, appealed to a lot of american voters who have for over the past 20 years,

seen america involved in wars abroad in iraq and afghanistan before that in vietnam . and are wondering what was it all for? we said we were funding for democracy and yet we just lost a lot of blood and treasure. and so actually this line of appeals to a lot of american voters there. there's been a lot of commentary, you know, in the morning after the debate, were you a lot people have been saying that couple of harris per something better last night . but let's go beyond, you know, the performative part of politics here. do you think that the voters in the united states did they get an adequate picture of both of these candidates? i mean, we could argue that everyone knows donald trump, but what about couple of harris? i think this was a very crucial debate for her. and this was an image contest, could she go up against trump and show that she's commanding, that she can stand up and be tough against strong. and because beyond trump, there's putting an others across the world that she should stand up to. and so

really the debate was pretty light on policy. honestly, the policy that she talked about could be put on a couple of powerpoint slides in terms of her economic plan in terms of her immigration plan. but she did, she was able to needle trump. she was able to call him out on issues like his, his rally size. she was able to say for leaders, mock him behind his back. but the former administration officials who worked for him say he's a threat to democracy. and so she was able to show, she could go toe to toe for him. so in that sense, she did come out somewhat of a winter in this debate and in terms of reaching her goals that she wanted to meet you were talking earlier about, you know, who were these, you know, there was a lot of arguing last night. there wasn't a lot of substance, but it was this for. and the polls show that this is a very tight race. most people have made up their minds, but who they're going to vote for the november. but the people who haven't, they could actually be the ones who decides that that's right. there are 7 states that are called swing states that are really going to decide the selection,

each candidate as the winner needs $270.00 electro boats. and if they, there are some states where that's going to be decided. and so, you know, both of the candidates had lines of attack that are going to appeal to their base. but there are a lot of people that don't like either candidates. so it may be that one feels more aligned with the abortion policy spectrum talked about, or that here is talked about, or one feels like crime is really bad and immigration is out of control. and so they're going to go whichever which candidates spoke to them. the most so i would say to me the race is still in place. the pulls are still tight. it's going to be what line of attack really resonated with one of those swing voters. it's pretty, there's, you know, unexpected question here, but on the, in the eyes of europeans, was there a winter last time i would say. but if you could look at the debate and cherry pick some of the weird things that trump said, like they're immigrants in the states that are eating people's pets. and that's the

only thing you saw me then you are getting are saying, oh my gosh, there is this chaotic force that is threatening to come over to american democracy . again, i don't want that. so i would think europeans would say yes, he's the lose or however he really did hit come on here as hard on some points, like integration on the ask him withdrawal. where and also what's happened in america over the past 3 years in terms of the economy. if they're interested in that, he really did hit, come a harris hard there is. will there be a 2nd debate? well, uh, the democrats, immediately after the debate calls for that harris, this campaign said yes. let's meet again. trump campaign had before this debate proposed further debates. so i think both candidates achieves kind of what they wanted. it, i don't know if they really need to meet again. they can just the delivery to. yeah . the routes for yeah. the so and there are shelves talking, michelle,

we appreciate the analysis. thank and there is another development in this 2024 election drama taylor swift. that's right, taylor swift. just minutes after last night's debate, she publicly endorsed the democratic vice presidential candidate on presidential candidate, cala harris. the senior said any social media post that she will be voting for harris in the november election. she signed off as a childless cat lady in the parent did get remarks made by donald trump's running mate, ged vance. so there were lots of meals for it across the world right after that debate last night to talk about that. i'm drawing out by spelling rocks broke from the w as culture desk. scott, we didn't plan on talking to you about this, but this is what has happened in taylor's with now endorsing harris of how big of

a deal is it? well, on the entertainment side and the celebrity world is a huge deal. i mean, taylor swift is by almost all measures the biggest star in the world is we seen from are record breaking reason, global concert. she has something like 280000000 instagram fans that solve that post that you just showed up. and from a celebrity endorsement point of, you know, one is bigger than then tell us we have. so from that point of view, this is huge news, whether it has any impact on the election is a whole other question. yeah, well let me ask you about the language she use. why did she um sign her hair is endorsement with the hash tag, childless cat lead? yes, as you spend should this is looked like a dig at dance, the republican vice presidential candidate, who in a interview from a little while ago that we just recently re surface, criticized the democrats as and here's where it's being led by child was cap ladies

. now of course, taylor swift or self does not have children and as we saw from the post as a cat fan. so she is a taking directed at a j. d vance, and a lot of young women and childless women. and also of course, kept fans around the world have been annoyed by the dancers promise. so this was just another nice little big at the republicans and particularly edgy vance. and we know that celebrity in politics, you know, they share the same bed many times in the united states. we know that taylor's width is a huge global pop icon. she has millions of followers in the united states. and how much political leverage influence do you think though she has that will make itself known on election day in november? so yeah, that's a really big question. i mean, taylor swift, of course, has been been a big pop star for a long time. but she's only recently started to really get involved in politics.

really talked 2018 was the 1st time she gave up public endorsement of the candidates supporting the democratic candidate in our home state of tennessee in the the mid terms of that year of it apparently had an effect. there was a record number of voter registration, something like 150000 new border registrations of 1st 48 hours after her endorsement. and maybe we'll see a similar thing with this endorsement that will be a young voters registering to vote on whether or not that has a big impact as another question in that, the election that i mentioned 2018 for candidate the democratic candidate didn't win in tennessee, so maybe she didn't have as much impact as people would have hope. but the, the, the, the vibes around a couple of harris through this endorsement have gotten a lot better. so at least on that level, taylor swift has had an impact already. elizabeth cats and dogs in presidential debates, who would have thought w scott boxborough is always got. thank you. all right, here's a quick look me on some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. residents in northeastern

a. jerry and i have been forced to flee their homes after a damn collapsed and born of state, causing some of the worst flooding indicative deadly reptiles from the zoo have been swept into communities in the area. the dam was at full capacity due to unusually high rate driven officials are investigating the partial collapse of a bridge in the eastern city of dresden. no one has been injured, but authorities say there is a risk of further sections of the bridge crumbling traffic across the river. l has been halted as a result causing major disruptions. so you're a secretary of state anthony blanca and has arrived in chief to demonstrate washington's continued commitment to ukraine. he travelled to ukraine alongside the british foreign secretary, david lamby on a train from poland. now they plan to meet with you. craning president william is a wednesday to discuss keys for a week and has called this a critical moment to support ukraine and it's flight against russia's invasion.

ukraine is facing russian battlefield advances and increasingly heavy bombardment and is hoping if allies will lift restrictions on how far inside russia it can strike using western weapons are known across now to key where the w for responded rebecca reader, she is standing by going to see you, rebecca, will ukraine gain permission to strike deep into russian territory? that's the question. a good that easy, the question brand. it's impossible to say with any kind of certainty at this stage, but it's certainly going to be talking the agenda when these 3 men meet today, here in care to discuss this very issue. it's something that modem is the lens he has been pushing for 4 weeks now, asking the us and it's western allies to give the green light for it to be able to use these us supplied and west and supplied long range missiles to shoot the deep

into russian territory so far they've only been able to use them on, on areas around the long, very long 1000 kilometers frontline in positions where russia has the lowest attacks from. but the automated lensky says it's absolutely crucial that they've been given the that the beginning, the go ahead that they can shoot deeper into the russian territory to try to take out of bases where russian launch attacks on ukrainian territory. now, it's something that the us and western allies have been very nervous about ground seem because of threats coming, coming from not important that he will not hold you crime responsible, but he will hold the country for responsible, who in fact have been supplying these weapons. so, you know, very much saying that the will could spill over, could spread, and that's something that nobody wants. i think the brand is very unlikely. we'll say a policy change at announcements today, but they'll certainly be taking everything that's discussed back to their late is in his stomach. the u. k. prime minister will carry on the conversation when he

meets with us president joe biden. later this week, rebecca, the united states, as the rush of received missiles from iraq, the us and its allies say that they will respond with sanctions against iran. i'm wondering what impact will that have on russia's ability to get more weapons from iran that many assume are then being used, then you create your will actually think i'm confirming yes. today saying that they're intelligent suggests that the weapons have been transferred to sure it's something that roster has been trying to show up from me around new trying to get these, the ballistics. tell me so miss solve for some time. but iran has been reluctant to do so because of the threats of the sanctions. we've now say sanctions for the sanctions by the u. s. u k. fronts in germany being put on some of writing and assets of their, their main, uh, aircraft carrier as well. so it'll be interesting to see what effect that will have on the future supply from,

from iran regarding these weapons. we're talking about mid rain rage, weapons that would really wide. and we also know that russia has to use and give them much more flexibility unless saying that they could use a mid range weapons on the front line, saving they a longer range missiles to, to, to target areas much further inside your garden. in territory. i'm going to ask you to a bill of russian claims that it's military has recaptured settlements inside the course, the region. what are the implications of that if that, if that is true? well, we've got pretty limited information as you can imagine on that. but this morning we stats of getting wood on some russian pro russian telegram accounts and military blogs to suggest that this somebody expect pretty much expected counter offensive was underway. and we've, we've heard also from a major general from the russian army on the russian news agency task to suggest that 10 settlements have same retakes and have been taken back by russia. we

haven't followed them as a landscape just last week saying that a 100 settlements in that coast region in russia that ukraine took and went into the rush or just a little over a month ago that they had a 100, the settlements in that region. so now if, if what we're hearing is true, that the ticket down to 90 settlements and you know, we'll have to see just what happens, what happens below them is the landscape certainly wanting to use this coast region, this expensive the whole plan was to try to take, you know, results as away from the front line in, in the south and the east, but also to try to force the hand of peace with the we put in to try to give him more reasons to one to try and find pace. so we'll have to say what happens in that region, but as i say reports that the counselor offensive has become a officer, responded rebecca readers with the leaders from key. rebecca, as always, thank you. well from one conflict to the next is really the ongoing conflict after hamas is october 7th terror attack. some $42.00 is really

reserve is wrote, an open letter in may stating their refusal to return to god that they are among thousands of his rate. ladies who have been called up since the start of the war to fight in the palestinian territory to reserve is told, dw news why they're refusing to serve again. a few months ago you buy a green most in gaza, serving as a combat medic. the young is really what's called up as a reserve, is for the more, almost immediately after the terror attacks, enough to reverse them. today he's one of a small group of is ready reserve is to public leave refuse and an open letter to return to casa. his decision came off to his commander, ordered his unit to burn down the home of a palestinian family. they had taken over in garza or they told us to, to pick a house where a staying at and when went out of it,

they told us to burn it down in a winter bank of under and asking what, why, why are we doing that is their meal 3 purpose for that and you know the answers. they gave them which is not good enough. and i said, i'm not willing to make several families homeless. especially when there is no, not even a reason for that to, to be able to achieve something. and the next day i left, even before the october 7 attacks, he had time to refuse reserve duty because of his position to is roads, occupation of the west bank. the horrific violence inflicted on on, on civilians by how must let the militants made him reconsider. but while in gaza, the atmosphere of revenge and the widespread destruction made him question his service is raleigh just to clovis unger and you're worried that the gain from uh, you know, knowing that their friends died or things like that and just took it all on the the

posting and property a nissan offers. you've spent almost 2 months in for him across the board of watching grainy videos as operations officer. he monitoring the movement of tubes inside gauze, us ensuring the safety and for surviving air strikes in those areas. but the ones out of the board room don't started so facing. and when you start hearing the really big numbers, start asking us, how can it be if, if we're doing such such specific strikes and, and such a good likes such a great uh, intelligence work and everything. how can i be that? and there's so many casualties. so many collateral damage right beside it says the where no key rules of engagement for the troops in gaza. the whole system was building way that, that you, you kind of like you fire 1st and then you ask the questions. even even like if

you're even going to ask any questions because we did not ask any questions, it is not easy to speak out, family and friends, support them. but some brent them traitors. although refusing to serve could lend bose to service and j of so far the id f has taken no action. seeing the sheer destruction in gaza was also one of the reasons why i gave for refusing because of this to do the driving on the road with one of those military vehicles. you looked here, right? so look during this and only see throwing buildings. now some of them were waiting for certain angles, her therapist, as i guess from the marine because they found, you know, terrorist infrastructure below them tunnels or stuff like that. i. so panels are all nice. so it is something that is happening. but he's really is definitely not trying to be a surgical enough to make guys a place that would be a livable afterwards. the idea of rejected allegations by agreement of disease and

set the rules of engagement for a subject to is really and international. the edit, the destruction of buildings is done with the appropriate means, actions done otherwise, and not as a result of operation needs a contrary to the armies orders and the idea of values and are examined for both you vibe and me is one of the main reasons for speaking out is to push the government for a ceasefire agreements and the war and bring home the remaining hostages in gaza. have bills or pay, but we've had deals on the people since december cleared deals that said the world would and will do a ceasefire. all the hostages would be return to israel and then is ro soldiers and sees dying. and i think something maybe something very important in addition to that fact that paul stands would stop living through going through leaving health

that have been growth during god. they know that there are tiny minority among reserves, but they hope to spark, at least the page within is really society. i'm doing now by uriel with lots as an associate professor of politics. utilities universities. research focuses on nationalism and questions of legitimacy and morality professor, it's good to have you with this. the reserve is that we just saw in our report. they say that they often feel branded as traders inside is real of is that the case is there is a certain swath of society and is real. that would see them as traders there. how much acceptance is there for people who say, no, we don't want to start i think your reporter designated it's right there are relatively tiny minority. and we didn't use roles among the reserves to or when the

majority of reserves still go and carry out the commands that they are being given . there is a segment, a visa to society who want to regard those reserve is, will decline to serving goes as changes. these 2 are relatively and marginal and minority with israel society. i think many can understand the motivations behind their decline to so, but again, the overwhelming majority still go in serving. the idea doesn't want to determine the idea and do go to serve in does as well. would you say that the idea of actions in gaza and are they scrutinized critically inside is real or perhaps not as much as they should. and since the war started, there is no indication that the army could be more traditional

in affecting with its full force. less than what it has when it comes to the damaging, the civilians, both human life and properties. there is some school junior going on, but perhaps not sufficient and things are all of these that are there's, this is of course the dining minority and other reporter said it's about the bringing up to the public consciousness and to public discourse. the possibility that we may have, instead of too far and what we should how does the idea of how does it deal with the criticism coming from within its own ranks? mean is there, is there a place for that at all? or there is a place where the thing that they do is funds that you have received the idea to abide by international law and domestic law as well. the thing are being investigated is by and large, the way that the i b s as being framing it. also for an inward consumption in buying large, it has worth of in most ease release

a do trust to support the idea. it's much more than they supported their government for that matter. so there is not until now at least much of the debate that balance the domains in which the idea figuring out the mission. and the main reason, of course, is that the mission of this point at least is on clear any tests be not clear for several months, no, but that is more to do with the government. then we the idea if it's all and we know that the polls show the vast majority of israelis, they support the military operation in the gaza strip. some even say that the military operation doesn't go far enough. and so in your, in your opinion it does that explain why we are talking about these reserve as you represent. it's just a tiny, tiny fraction of the serbian population. i know there is a great frustration, unusual, obviously have to over 7. was it a great shock? and people want to see as much as possible the idea of carrying out enough ration

to make sure that something like the saved or any other situation there of it would not be possible. and there is a great frustration because we all demise of the idea there seems to be no way out of it. and there is no way of it because the id is other than trying to damage from us capability as much as possible to not to be placed from us as a governing body in gaza. and these are the government refuses to have any honor, but the fall as damian's or even a are and taking hold of the ghost. so we're facing a situation in many the reservists elizabeth inter letter that they were in us too . and they brought the gates from us in a certain area because the st. louis area and being selling to get to there was, there was a couple of months later to do this thing sort of go. and that's just been the case precisely because there is no one else to replace from us. you can edit board. okay, and this is what we rented again and again, it's for the voice and from us. thanks over again. professor, can you hear me?

i'll be off from television diversity. unfortunately, we're out of time, but we appreciate your analysis today. thank you. thank you. thank you for watching . the as far as are known for making a plus, but from beatrice to towns and cities, popular destinations are being increasingly inundated. presidents are fed up and taking to the streets to protest the solutions over tourism on the is how, you know, island of philadelphia, the government and the tourism industry happened busy looking for new ideas also and the citizen fast tracking the baltic nations integration into the u. a ukrainian parcel delivery service making new in roads and europe, stream of hydrogen future.
