the, the, this is the, the news life from done and us versus digest, fits of presidential the bites. republicans, donald trump 10 democrats come along, harvest flash for 19 minutes. what could be that only tell me advise contacts with look at the full i had from that tv showed up. also on the program. us secretary states and pressures foreign minister arrived in ukraine and on hundreds of millions of dollars in new a pledge to reconsider the key is request to lift restrictions on the use of western supply. when resenting non seeing a safety consensus over germany's infrastructure following a major bridge collapse interest

the punch ok, welcome to the programming songs, it'd be united states, right. cala harris and donald trump both projecting confidence after that debate showdown in philadelphia and of millions of us votes. as tuned in us, the presidential candidates clashed over issues like the economy. migration and reproductive rights are less than 2 months until the election posts of both candidates are running, neck and neck, and critical battleground states. the presidential candidates common law harris and donald trump. during president j binding to new york. to remember the victims of 911 standing in silence to mark a day of national morning hours

earlier, they were facing of on stage in philadelphia. in the 1st debate, harris was often on the front foot as the postponed of issues from foreign policy in the economy to the highly sensitive topics of abortion and gun control. they also attach what they so as each of those moral failings. speaking to her support as well afterwards, harness was born in the democrat. so to debate which politicians her enthusiasm, she's actually staying on point, staying on topic, answering questions,

giving facts and figures and her opponent can stream your sessions together. visiting this in the bank from was bullish. i say the truth if i lose votes or gain both out of here, but this was my best to bait. i do it, it was very good. i do it to you is very weak and for quality years very when the border and opinion echoed by his supportive i think it's been great. i think trump has been holding his own. he's been on point and sharp. right? to the point, answering the questions, and most importantly, coloring her out. the debates cemented support for each candidate and their respective attempts. so we'll have to wait until november to see if it was enough to move the needles undecided voters a group that could prove critical to securing an election victory. well, let's take a look at best with cotton and symbols. she's an assistant professor of political

science at the university of arkansas in the united states. welcome to dw, we just had donald trump last night and he thinks that that was his best bet ever the bait performance. what did you think? well, i don't think he's wrong, he'd certainly did a good job of re kinda restraining himself and not being as re, active as he normally might be. and especially given the number of times that vice president here has tried to real him in kind of bait him. i think she remained relatively calm. you know, there were times he showed his, you know, his just his disappointment and what she was saying. but all in all, i would say he actually stayed more on message then he hasn't previous debates. and what is this debate performance from, even though both confidence is likely to sway and divide, undecided versus do you think? yeah, believe it or not, these debates that occur in the weeks before

a general election in the us can be impactful because there are a number of voters that are truly undecided. they're non partisan or they have low information. so these debates can help them to understand who these candidates are better as well of how they handle themself and, and debate. because that might translate into how they might handle themselves with other world leaders. so you see this actually impacting the outcome of this election or yeah, the, the elections in the us are often decided on the margins, the folks that are not part overly partisan. maybe don't even vote every election or really just remain undecided until the end. because they're not paying attention and it's a small number of people. but those folks, especially the ones that live in the battleground, states, are essential to reach with this messaging, which is why you had the debate and pennsylvania to begin with was to try and attract some of those voters. do you think that would be another one? well, you know, if i had a crystal ball,

i would probably go and put some money on that, but i don't. and it's really hard to predict one of the candidates, donald trump, whether or not he would want to perform and another debate. clearly, complet harris would like to challenge him to one more debate. but you know, she always has a very kind of negative perception of these debates because they tend to be hosted by the mainstream media, which he does trust. and he that clearly did not come out as the person with the momentum out of this debate. many believe cala handled herself well, the bar was higher for her and she did reach that. and so she might be the one to benefit if there was another debate. so that might tell you that how he will calculate whether or not he decides to participate again. and now that taylor swift has endorsed at cumberland harris, is that likely to have any impact as well? you know, certainly it might with a few of those undecided voters that, you know, maybe don't pay attention to politics, but they loved taylor swift. but you have to keep in mind the target audience for

taylor swift. a lot of these folks are under 18, not legally of age to vote yet in the united states. so, you know, i don't know that it will have a measurable impact, but it certainly helps in terms of perceptions around the race. it may help in terms of her getting more endorsements from other folks like taylor swift who are really popular, may be a beyond single endorse. it's really hard to measure endorsements and their impact, but generally endorsements don't make or break or race good to could you thank you so much for joining us. i kind of see bold assistant professor of political science at the university of arkansas. thank you. hearing jim and officials are investigating the partial collapse of a bridge in the eastern city of dresden. though injuries were report has been shipping on the river. l. about has been halted, leading to major disruptions. it happened in the wee hours of the morning,

a roughly 100 meter long section of the corolla bridge, which connects residence, historic center to other parts of the city, collapsed into the elbow river. thankfully there were no injuries reported, but authorities say there is a risk of further sections crumbling gun pressing the situation is such as the bridge is still in the queue danger of collapsing yet, but at least the section is partly come down and the river held that there's an acute danger to live on and on the bridge. for this reason, the entire harry has been called and off the part of the bridge that fell down was dedicated to tram lines and pedestrians. the section for road vehicles was not affected. local residents were aghast. when they woke to the news. yeah. and then you see that from other countries, you think it's another construction mistake because it's when you see it right here in front of the door and the early morning. fortunately, the window injuries are terms on the road, but you really frightening from?

so i think it's simply unimaginable the something like this is happening here now in our country, are you still with your take on this item already? i couldn't believe it this morning. i thought it might happen in january somewhere in the usa did not hear any thoughts. and to be honest, i'm slowly, but surely beginning to believe that it's symptomatic, that things like this are happening here. so the mazda is just the surface. everything has been neglected to this phenomena, i think was the partial collapse. also damage to district heating, pipes, leaving most of the city without access to hot water and heat road traffic in drugs and has been seriously disrupted. and river traffic halted, rescue surfaces and other experts were at the scene to assess the damage and secure the bridge. the corolla bridge was completed in 1971 and is one of 4 crossing the elbow river in downtown drug and the cause of the collapse has yet to be determined

. i'm stuff in boxes, a professor of civil engineering, the technical university of address, and welcome to d w professor. and i'd like to start with a look for that some time lapse to see see t v footage on the collapse here. that is not keep your eyes on the left of the picture on that very goes. and now we'll take a look from another and go and when the picture changes this time, what shot for the street lights going dock in the middle? that it go off the picture. okay. not so that is a dead boom. and then changing the angle or any minute now that it is, and what side for those lines going down? there they go. all right, now, professor mazda, according to the time codes on that c, c t, v footage,

the bridge collapse this morning between 258. 04 and 259. 05. so that's under a minute the how is this possible? do you think it's a very something collapse and we have to say this type of purchase. it's a so called a statically determined structure and it is something we wouldn't built today again. yeah. so it's, it's a bridge from the sixties and it has a couple of construction. if it's, it's uh, which i'll typically go from that time of direction. and um, yeah, through the sucking stereo we try to avoid in the design of today, you called a statically determined structure. so what is it about the structure of this? but that would rule out that the construction these days. yeah,

it means this kind of structure that has no redundancy use in the structure behavior. so no possibilities to transform forces to other areas of the page if something went wrong. and this happens to the bridge and it, but it is not the reason for the the, for the disaster. we are still investigating the reason for that. but we have certain assumptions and they all connected to the corrosion processes, which may be a fuel in the sexual due to the missing of insulation in the beginning of operation ok. structures. i just want to make make sure, but i've, i've, i've understood what you said that yeah, you talked about like a redundancy. in layman's terms, you're talking about this bridge snapping instead of building before the,

instead of a bending before it broke down. yeah, it's just saying in general terms, yeah, in general terms, it is a very sucking of a failure in one region of the bush, which is followed by the totally const collapse of the bridge. right. and this is something we try to avoid today. but of course, we have a lot of existing structures which, which assume we love behavior. ok, thanks very much for to hear. so through that, i'm professor stephan box from the technical university of dressing. thank you. i. let's take a look now at some most orders from around the walls with southern mexico rest set . it has approved to reform to reshape the judiciary. the legislation passed mo, a house last week and establishes the judges, including those on the supreme court, will be elected by popular vote. critics, it will threaten the rules of law and politicize the judicial work. is it not rove,

is made at fault of pulled off a strike against the proposed agreement with an indian in the past, but to operate the facility and use logics to aviation unit and says the model nice ation deal of german kenyata international apple would lead to job losses and bringing non canyon black because the strikes caused may just slight cancellations and the lights type food. yeah. j is driven, has triggered to severe flooding land slides in north thailand, killing at least 6 people. and i guess brought destructive floods to valves. me and my, i'm vietnam, destroy homes and businesses are forcing thousands of people to flee. least 30 people have to hide in northeast and 90 really accurate collapsed in warner estate, closing so that was flooded for decades. emergency service, you say thousands of and i bet holmes that'd be reptiles from a zoo. been swept into nearby communities, dams at full capacity due to

a usually high, right? so the 9th of states and the united kingdom have types, nearly a one and a half $1000000000.00 as an additional aid to ukraine. us secretary of state and to me, blank and british foreign secretary and david loudly made the announcement during the joint visit to keith to discuss the pricing. goals show as booms and landscape has been pleading with allies for months for permission to file west in ms. miles deep into russian, tanner train us and you kind of have so far opposed that some long range strikes as well, whether they will all they want. so certainly to not the answer was not heard here in key. even your presidents lensky. many's a potentially disappointed, but i think the further to that we've, we heard from at we will hit we have some words from antony blinking from that press conference. let's take a listen to what he did have to say. one of the things we discussed language fires,

but a number of other things as well. and as i said at the outset, i am going to take that discussion back to washington to reach the president on what i heard. i know that dave is doing the same and both of our bosses know that we'll discuss this when they meet later this week. actually on friday and is precisely that point. they feel that that, that was really the main message that we heard there in this press conference. the tonight saying that's actually been kind of david. i mean, we'd be taking home well that, that was discussed here in cave, back to their respective bosses, to facilitate the summer of the u. k. prime minister. and you as president joy, bide, and do to meet on friday. so it wasn't on surprising that we didn't hear any policy change announcements day by the foreign ministers to night. but the language in what the gentleman had to say this evening has certainly shifted in is you didn't, you certainly get the feeling if you read between the lines of what are some of what was said that there is the appetite for

a policy change on the horizon of course, you know, we, we heard from a blinking, saying that the us had supported at ukraine through the challenges all along the way and had adapted to it's changing challenges along the way. and it would continue to do so, perhaps hinting the fact that this, you know, as changing challenge would also be adapted to when it comes to us support. so we can say definitively what might happen on whether on friday, when the 2 liters of u. k. and you asked me o in the coming weeks, but the suddenly, the mood you had, the feeling that a policy change on this particular topic might be on verizon. meanwhile, the us is a warning that he will impose more sanctions against iraq, accusing it of supplying russia with more mist files. and how was that likely to affect those weapons flows? yeah, with us uh, i gave that confirmation yesterday and to bring him saying that they believe the shipping, the, the weapon shipment had gone from iran to russia,

which had been groomed for some time. and they immediately issued sanctions. the u . s. u. k. germany fonts issuing further sanctions on iran. it's believe that some of the delay or some of the reason why iran was hesitant to supply these missiles. they have, of course, already supplied russia with these weaponized drones that we've been seeing regularly making its attacks across ukraine in recent weeks. they have already been supplied by round, but these missiles that they were hesitant and it was believed in potentially because also the sanctions, though it's unlikely now that they will know that the sanctions may have any effect . of course, those weapons seriously expanding the tillery of the russian and making rusher and making them more adaptive on the battlefield. they sort of low to mid range with me, solves being able to be used along the front line. these are right in, i issued missiles where it was being a allowing rusher,

i should say to is reserves some of its long range missiles for a tax further inside you print in territory. okay, thanks that rebecca dw correspond to rebecca riches in keith. lot to interview because it's a little israel and the ongoing conflict resulting from her mouse is october 7th terror attacks in may, 42 is writing. the b service wrote an open letter stating that a refusal to be ton to casa that among thousands of his race, who had been called up since october 7, a to find the product in tennessee to the reserve is told, dw, why they received fusing pacifica. a few months ago, you buy green mos in gaza serving as a combust medic. the young is really was cold up as a reserve, as for the war almost immediately after the mass terror attacks enough to reverse them. today he's one of a small group of his really 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. and when to 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 a 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, the tax he had time to refuse reserve duty because of his position to is rhodes, 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 garza the atmosphere

of revenge and the widespread destruction made him question his service is raleigh just took over this unger and you're worried that the gained from uh, you know, knowing that their friends died or things like that. and just took it all on the the posting and property. the nissan offers. you've spent almost 2 months for him across the board of watching grainy videos as operations officer. he monitor at the movement of tubes inside gauze, us, insuring 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 as a, how can it be if, if we're doing such such specific strikes and such a good likes such a great uh, intelligence work and everything. how can it be that?

and there's so many casualties. so many collateral damage right beside it says the where no key roots 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 even going to ask any questions because we did not ask any question, it is not easy to speak out, family and friends, support them. but some brent them traitors. although refusing to serve could lend bose preservice and j of so far, the adf 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, to look through left and only sees when buildings. now, some of them were waiting for a certain military purposes, i guess, from the moraine because they found, you know, the terrorist infrastructure below,

with them tunnels or stuff like that. i so tunnels are all nice. so it is something that is happening. but his role is definitely not trying to be a surgical enough to make guys a place that would be a livable afterwards. the idea of projected under jason's 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. hi is one of the main reasons for speaking out is to push the government for a ceasefire agreement to end the war and bring home the remaining hostages in gotta 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 as well as folders and sees dying. and i think something maybe something very important in addition to that, the fact that paul stands would stop living through going through leaving health that have been going through. and god, they know that they are a tiny minority among reserve is. but they hope to spark, at least the page within is really society. devin townsend. oh, laugh charlotte says defended his government's migration policy and stress. the need to attract skills. foreigners was preaching during the debates and the german parliament after the collapse of torques were on migration with opposition. conservatives. a chance of us been under increasing pressure to toughen japanese migration laws following a series of high profile attacks alleged to being committed by asylum seekers. get to big cases, exchanges a lot of heck, length and height,

emotion because opposition, conservative lawmaker alex, i'm the duplicate and kicked off the general debates by accusing the government of complete failure for your coalition of progress is the coalition of decline in this country. mixed up in unusually emotional chancellor would have choice attack to position need of sleep, the smell for breaking off across potty talk st at finding consent the migration policy the then you will the type of politician who thinks that a type load interview is enough to solve the migration issue, that's not how it is in reality sites was forced to defend the policy proposals office increasing the unpopular governing coordination. he also underscored the urgent need to bring in scale for nurse is the kind of, there is no country in the world with the freaking working population that has economic growth. that is the choose that we're confronted with the day with danny

words for the governments tend to expand for the checks to all of germany's land borders as a way to croup a regular migration in our opinion, the proposals you submitted yesterday full file showed of the necessity, c d, 's move in, and that's why we're not. i back you on dodge and you will not be going into an endless circle of talks video in close by perform. and that's design. that's also under fire. the government is lower than expected funding for the military. this will set the opposition, how to expose the chancellor's pledge to turn around german defense policy in the wake of russia's invasion of ukraine as a really kick felicia with germany's next development to re elections one year away . the clock is ticking for shows and his correlation to show they have a handle on migration and defense. just as reminder about top story this,

our us presidential candidates, donald trump and come la harris, but both expressed confidence aspect, tv debates, the clash phone, 19 minutes of issues like the economy, migration, and be productive products could be the only debate of the company. take a closer look at the debates in just a moment. uh, trouble. harris swift and uh, thousands of mexican judges. that's next. in the day, the

3 distinct estimate groups. 3 religious one divided states. a fragile peace in bosnia and had some multi estimate. colton state wants to join the, you know, national publications. and to prevent this from happening in 45 to minutes on d w, the

dw travel all over the side, phase 3, food gone is with inside a just local high. nice, well, let's go. here we go to so when it comes to sustain dependency information and try and do that. when you travel, you can have it all expected to have to check the bags. so you're planning a trip. make sure you miss nothing about is on the w travel. i hope you enjoy the trip here as much as i did. what about you? what's your opinion? feel free to write your thoughts in the comments. this shadows. these pod costs and videos shed lights on the dog is devastating. colonial har is infected by germany across up, and he employed to score those farms and destroy lives. what is the legacy of this

wide spread race as depression today? history? we need to talk about here, the stories, shadows of german colonialism, the both sides, the claiming victory and the only shad your tv presidential debates between vice president couple of harris and for the president. donald trump. both candidates came out swinging, a trump climbing highways for a bought staff, a bunch indigo sections of the wall and hugh cry, and harris pressing trump to be clear, where he stands on a portion rights. so who did with this debate? how much will it move the needle in this neck, in that context? i feel gayly, but i live and this is the day the i had to break the bank.
