see a slide spread races, depression today. history. we need to talk about here the stories, shadows of german colonialism. the both sides are claiming victory and the only shad your tv presidential debate between vice president cumberland, harris and full, the president donald trump. both candidates came out swinging, a trump climbing highways for a boat staff, a bunching the ghost ations of the wall, and hugh cry, and horace, pressing trump, to be clear, where he stands on the 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 i the i had read tobate's. i thought this was my best. your donald trump making

a weird stories about people eating dogs and cats. all kinds continues to focus on what the american people want to talk about, which is their paycheck really are listening to the answers and respond to them. devastating ways she had a former president on the defense, a lot of people who are supporting kamala harris, joe biden. don't know what's going on, and just really trying to unify our country. so trying to bring us back together, the more i think, i think also on the de residence of the gym and city of dresden in shaw after a key bridge collapses and plunges into the river. because this item already, i couldn't believe it this morning. i thought it might happen in january somewhere in the usa. the not here in the phones is everything has been neglected to this

from athletic world. welcome to the day we begin with the most highly anticipated moment of the us presidential vice between couple of hours and donald trump millions in the us and around the world to then to watch the presidential debates. the showdown was the 1st chance for americans to see the 2 candidates square off of issues like the economy, migration, and reproductive rights. and it was a feisty encounter with 8 candidates accusing me of lying. vice president parish repeatedly attacked. donald trump, on his economic policies, are these records as president. ours also focused on reproductive rights accusing. mr. trump. one thing, a nationwide abortion about donald trump focused on inflation and immigration inside the vice president and present biting, had allowed millions of microns to enter the us. i've also said how to set to flip flopped on key policy. so it came out on top dw,

into harris and trump watch boxes to ask people what they thought of the candidates performances. she's actually staying on point, staying on topic, answering questions, giving facts, figures and her opponent hands. strangest mentions together got the convicted criminal on try. the victor, the script gave you this game. he said that even dogs in the little town somewhere . 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 i most importantly coloring her out. my impression is that trump is very honest. she speaks from the heart. he speaks the truth. um, he knows the facts, he knows the story line and i, i hardly believe that he would be the best president for the united states of america. let's pick through this event with washington. the bureau chief in his po,

welcome is what stood out for you. i think the very beginning when kimberly harris and donald trump entered the stage and she just walked up to him and kind of forced him to shake her hands and her hand by julie, pulling him behind his his own desk. they couldn't have been any bigger difference to the beginning of the debate between donald trump and joe biden, when kind of off to the 2nd, 2nd or so, it was clear that joe biden wasn't really there and might most likely lose this debate. so she really set the tone a. 3 of the whole evening there was in these 1st 30 seconds so, so we just had a lot of voice, a lot of boats as a bad. they've already made their minds of how much do you think that this debate can influence the outcome of the election?

but it is the 1st debate between uh trump and uh, harris. and uh, as uh don't from this very well known for the american audience and the world wide audience i assume coming to hers is still kind of a new commerce. so she really needed to be able to present herself to make clear what she stands for. to also show that she as a woman would be capable to be the commander in chief. so the stakes definitely were in a way higher for her. you know, the debates, how much do they matter? i mean, even if people, when a debate, it doesn't mean that the, when the election we might remember that he paid between donald trump and hillary clinton in 2016 where she got out as the clear winner by the, by the end of the day. last, the presidential election, so we shouldn't over estimate, but this is such a special raise as you know,

coming to hers got into this race so late in the game and it's kind of a not so well known figure. so i think it was more important than other debates might have been, but that's also not make a mistake here. most of the voters and both times are already decided. so it's about these up to 200000 undecided voters in these very important spring states. they might have been somewhat influenced by the debate, but it's definitely not. do you make or, or break, or we have donald trump, but that's saying that's a thought base, which he's best debate performance yet to just tell us more about how the campaigns of both candidates are reacting. that both come components, of course, claim victory. but that's also common right of to debates. i mean, the 1st like polls right off to the debate showed the it's called the flash funds.

like from cnn for example, i'm just looking down here on my paper. it showed the 63 percent windows carmella harris over donald trump. that also reflects the comment terry's of the editorial pages of the papers also and the more conservative side uh this morning. but still donald trump, um, kind of tries to, to show off to say that t one because, and that is actually true. cumberland harris didn't really present clear plans. how is she will handle migration for example, or push the, the economy. and but he also, of course, and it was also clear a plain the to moderators who were what he says, more critical with him than does come with harris. so he kind of portrays himself also a little bit as a victim here. but yeah, both both comes claim of victory, but the over all take here in this country at least, is that kind of the hair is left the stage as the winner of this debate. and to

just the, i know a couple of words about the types of loans by each kind of by huge confidence. we had a couple of hours, she seemed to go on the attack from the stop trying to goad donald trump. i do think that tactic worked and totally worked. i mean that was her main goal. i think to kind of, you know, get him off, kind of lois's make him lose his guard to kind of make him show who he is. and to do is he did that, as i just said from the very beginning on by just forcing him to shake her hand. what he doesn't like to do um, what you did brilliantly, in my opinion, was when it came to the topic of migration. she kind of turned the content away by talking about the sizes of the crowd visiting trump, or at least that's

a very sensitive topic for donald trump and t toughest bite. and instead of really cornering her on migration issues and the fact that there is no official and a border control in place, he took that by it and got into like telling all trying to tell the viewers that he has the biggest crowds ever in the world. so um, yes, she was able to trigger him and she was able to distract him in that way that he didn't really push her into difficult places where she might have had a hard time. right, to take or to keep her stats because that immigration and inflation a 2 of his lines of attack, a key issues in this election. i mean, it sounds like you didn't manage to, to land those punches. he did not. indeed, and that's kind of surprising because everybody knew that that would be her kind of

take her strategy and he obviously couldn't help himself being himself. what we heard from his advisors before the debate, everybody was hoping from this time that he wouldn't fall for this spades. uh, but he did. so there was no real discussion about inflation about the economy, about migration, the topics which indeed matter most uh, uh for the voters in the united states. so in that regard, this debate as many of those uh, was kind of disappointing. but you know, feel, this is a tv form. i mean, this is mostly about the motions and defects. we rarely her a here any, like really deeply saw through political strategies or plans. this is really more for like the show and the quick lane and did we learn anything about the candidates foreign policy, james?

now that's also interesting because normally, you know, foreign policy doesn't play hardly any role in a presidential election here in the united states as it does not in many other countries. but this is a little bit different because of course, of the war in ukraine and the huge debates about how much money the united states would be willing to spend and support ukraine. so this, this is the debate in the states since many months. also like how much other nato countries should pay for this military airlines. so this also played a role in this debate and the contrast was really shop here. donald trump refused to say that he would support ukraine and would hold for a when a few grain over russia. and on the other hand, that was kind of the hair is like leaving no doubt. it's how much she believes in

the importance of a nato. how important it is for her that the nato allies trust the united states. so that was a huge, a huge difference here. and also when they talked about israel, which is also an important topic, and many swing states, especially as the arab american road does matter, as it will be such a small margin by the end of the day, which will decide the outcome of the vote. here a come on a hair is a difference, a little bit from the take of a joe biden to you, of course supports the right of his road to, to defend itself. but it's much more critical. but this is rose politics the in gaza and also supports a 2 state solution. and so that was a very kind of a clear message on her side. on the other hand, donald trump was very hard to understand what he meant when he was talking about

the conflict so that we also saw kind of a sharp contrast good talking to you as of 8 was thank you so much in his post in washington. as well, another potentially key developments and the 2024 election pop superstar taylor swift has endorsed comma harris shortly after the bait. the single post on social media saying that she would be voting for the vice president. in november. she signed off a message as a child with cotton lady that probably dig donald trump's running my j d funds came on to 5 for describing prominent democrats, that like the vice president as a bunch of childless top ladies and military conflicts and her ridiculous. so let's consider the potential taylor swift effects wherever and i based on statement to journalistic kj master's. welcome back to d, w a. k j. come even the most influential artist on the planet, influence the outcome of a us collection. well,

it all depends on which folders you're asking about. if you are referring to voters between the ages of 18 and 30 for the answer is yes, because that's the book of her majority. i think of, of her support as the people who would call themselves swift. these is you had knowledge when she posted on her instagram accounts. she also urged people to vote register to vote. that is and to vote early. so whether or not she'll change the course of this election remains to be seen. but we do know years ago when she urge people to vote, i think it was back about 4 or 5 years ago. you know, more than 30000 people registered to vote for her site alone within 24 hours. so without any indication, this could be really a, down to the wire race and switch these helping push for over the line and tennis, which is a master of marketing. she and i just have support for couple of hours right after

the, the debate. so how would you be about a master stroke to promote harris so perhaps to getting her fund to it was to promote harris and i don't think she's the only one stunned or i think if anything was a dig towards truck, you know, someone asked him in a spin room, i think a little bit after the debate, probably less than half an hour and they told him that, you know, taylor swift had officially endorsed complet harris. and he said, oh, i don't know anything about it. but you can see in space that he was a little bit of noise and a little bit caught off guard. and so i think the intention for taylor swift was the catcher off guard. i'll catch him off guard that is and to really help comma, what harris sealed the deal since many people are saying she had a wonderful debate. here's a response to a to that lights in the day was that taylor's pons gonna punish her for that? i mean, do we have any idea of, of,

of which way her funds generally go to you know, i think if you watched her netflix documentary years ago where she talked about trump, she made it very clear that she was not a fan of his. and she wished she had spoken out the 1st time that he ran for off. so we knew that she was of the band there, i think recently she hadn't spoken up for com la harris. so people were wondering, the fact that a friend of hers who is the way of passing the remember that's the teen made of her boyfriend, travis kelsey recently seemed to support donald trump. and we hadn't heard anything from uh, taylor. so we're starting to wonder, okay, you see sliding over to the donald trump side, but now know she's very clear and letting people know she's strongly in the hair is walter camp for sure. so i think donald trump came out and tried to say something like that 24 hours simply because just a week ago he was thinking brittany,

my homes and making a very big deal of that on social media that she spoke up for him. and now he's saying he doesn't matter at all. so i guess it just depends on what day you seem to ask him that question. and the, the instagram publish the photo and the signature, childless cotton lady. what do you make of that message? well, you know, she got a picture on time magazine years ago where she was holding her cap. so she's the cat lady and we've known that, but i think it was a dig at donald trump's running me. j. the vance who obviously recently, we know many years ago that he was talking about a lot of the liberals is regressive group group, or democrats having a large number of child list hotley's. and didn't think that they should have kind of um, a state in any election. so i think that was a dig at him. now the fact that look, she is a child was cat lady, so she understands good talking to you as ever. okay,

thanks so much for joining us and the time of john this kj matthews. thank you. or to mexico, whether judiciary is to undergo a controversial of a whole judges will not be elected by popular vote. final approval in mexico senate came after protest to store the building to shut down to the base critics. one of the reform will threaten judicial independence of the countries democracy by politicizing the 2 district, but outgoing mexican present address. manuel lopez over adults claims that performs a set an example for the war. so let's get more on this from john. this the end, the lucio can all the sold off a mexico city a welcome to dw entities. here i'm the school, the pots of the legacy of the outgoing president, manuel lopez, a open adult. what do you think he's trying to achieve with this as well?

this year he put forth a series of reforms, of which this one was the most controversial one, but i think is what it does due largely, while they do deny it, the party in power, his party, morena is, it does consolidate the power of motor. now, um they did have a land slide in the elections also earlier this year. and of course a lot of your assign, bob who will be the countries 1st female president who is taking power on october 1st. we'll continue with his legacy. um, but basically as a popular president, he is always focused on saying that he believes that the people should have more power in mexico and be able to determine of being like your receipt, who can be the federal judges. and he referred to what he goes, the web though, which refers to the people and think that this is

a way to eliminate corruption. so a lot of the popularity is based on saying that he was doing things for the people and eliminating corruption, which is not really the case with this reform, but that is what he has made it seem that it is about okay, multiple comes out. but this concerns old judges right up to the supreme court will be a voted on by popular vote. so it does not mean anyone will be allowed to run full election as a judge. i know not any one the person does have had to go to law school, which in mexico is an undergrad degree, and they have to have at least an 8 out of 10 their grades. but it does make it much wider of basically anyone who went to law school and did all right at law school can be chosen, which before they need to do have um take many exams, be approved by superior that had passed through many different filters that were

based on all the preparation and studies that an experience that these judges and magistrate pad and now it will be much more like a popular vote contents where, where human rights groups and also opposition. i mean, people have, and lawyers, as well as the people that are currently in the tribunal, have said that that is where there can be actually more corruption. and that the political party will now have more influence in this election of who will be chosen . because it's, it's a hot default. but logic though, isn't it? well, why not have a democratically elected a bench? why not have the transparency of democracy are right? that is, was more than that. and the defenders and even law students, etc, are saying why should the people not be allowed to choose who is representing them

in the judicial spirit, which is so important here in mexico. there's so much in unity um and really that's high level of criminal activity. um, so then the, the reason is that logistically actually it's incredibly difficult. this will be over 1600 judges that will come up for elections and how and that's one number. others are saying that it will actually be many thousands more because it will also be decided that when a state level um so therefore, how can i every citizen that goes to vote, be fully prepared to know how are they going to vote for these $1650.00 or even more judges. how are they going to be able to read through, you know, all of their experience and also who is financing it? um and there it's very complicated and there is, i was just reading about how that did happen in bolivia and that they actually were

not able to successfully choose all of the judges that were supposed to be chosen by popular vote. because of all the complications in the logistics. all right, thanks for talking us through that. and did you say a journalist under the c acknowledge the sort of in mexico to say thank you. thanks for having me on the officials here in germany are investigating the partial collapse of a bridge and the eastern city of dresden, though injuries were reported, but shipping on the river about has been halted, leading to major disruptions that 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 an acute danger of collapsing yet, but at least the section has possibly come down in the river. hell. but there's an acute danger to life on and on the bridge. for this reason, the entire harry has been cordoned 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 to 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, the not here on the phone. and to be honest, i'm slowly,

but surely beginning to believe that it seemed to magic that things like this are happening here. so the mazda is just the surface. everything has been neglected to this from athletic 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 services 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 dressed in the cause of the collapse has yet to be determined and that was the day. you can follow a team on social media at dw news, latest headlines, of course, on dw dot com and on the deputy have a good thing. the

the

3 distinct estimate groups, 3 religions, one divided states, a fragile peace in bosnia and herzegovina. multi estimate colton state wants to join the, you know, national publications and to prevent this from happening and how to go from there in 15 minutes on the w. want. so hollings, the hydrogen high, use guessing involved by packing the sustainable gas about the cost out way to

benefit the energy sources mostly on this thing. and only a few level k is read the amendment process made in germany in 19 minutes d w, the the, the, the think the oh, just twice think ahead or was outside the box on your but always remember to think for yourselves we all had to sign was incredibly like, this is very,

providing you with free information, dw made for mind. so you don't feel the same way you expect and one's different things from life than your parents. i just want to pursue what that's nice on the side or you think you kid is 2 different risk, irresponsible, unreasonable or port is not i want my son to the doctor. is there an alternative plan? we've done everything to prevent a divorce, but nothing worked so in the it's time you're a sweet thing for us. and then when generation now

on, the computer screen is kind of funny. it feels like the this is the, the use visa, top stories, a couple of harris and the donald trump have squared off in the only planned debates of the us presidential election campaigns during the show down in philadelphia. how does the time trump for reducing the abortion access on this refusal to accept defeat? in the last election, trump blamed the vice president for what he called the countries port economy, the ocean back to border security. they say us and u. k. have sites more than a $1000000000.00 and increased a to ukraine us secretary of state. and we think.
