to migrants on the african con housing community unit docs, november 9th. the this is dw and hughes live from berlin. democratic presidential candidate kind of harris delivers her closing arguments in washington. a week from election day in the united states, the vice president gets set to give her final page here the side of the capitol hill, right. it's almost 4 years ago despite having no say in the us presidential election, ukrainians couldn't be facing higher stakes. what will a trump or a higher as presidency mean forth on to un officials warrant. there is no alternative to it's

a agency for palestinians on right after israel's parliament folks to shut it down and move could block the you and from delivering aid to displace to palestinians in the gases for the popular photo really is. it's great to have you with us vice president's comma harris is heading to washington dc where she will give the closing argument of her campaign at the side where donald trump helped to inside the capital interaction in 2021. she is expected to use that location to remind voters of trump link to the violence and assure them that she is the candidate who would improve their lives. trumps. most recent riley in new york was marked by racist insults. but speaking at his mar largo home today, he defended it as a quote, law fest with just

a week to go until the election. some polls show a narrow margin between trump tars fairness and we have a as well for more. i'm joined now by our washington bureau chief ins pope be standing by for us in the us capital. great to see is always in this. so nationally kind of harris was lead has shrunk against donald trump, according to add the polls. what's behind the scenes? it did probably, you know, we all remember probably the moment when the joe biden kind of step down or a notice that he's not running again. and then the suspect taxes are a democratic national conventions with all the great styles i suppose in couple of harris. she wasn't the lead nationally and the posts up to 4 percent and no the mall is even so kind of the that spark of the moment to the excitement of this new beginning indeed has faded in camelot. harris has not been able in the last 2 months or so to convince the voters that she really would be the better pick

a than the donald trump. so she's really definitely going down in the policies last days. and donald trump is rather getting up now in the polls as you're saying are showing that well donald trump is leaving on certain issues, economy, jobs and immigration. why is you doing so well on those incredibly important issues for voters? yeah, that's a very good question. he's able to convince the majority of the voters that of the economy, what was much better under his watch than it was on the divide and presidency. he, of course, has been very, very outspoken about migration from day one on when he entered the international stage. and you know, i think this is probably um, the best explanation of why we all where we are coming to harris has not been able to distance herself from the bite and administration. and donald trump really

understood after a couple of days or a couple of weeks off the job i didn't know now. and so to use not of are running again how to a tech come on the harris in that regard to kind of make her responsible for all that. what people don't like about the bite and administration that she was not able to convince the people who said that she would be really doing a different job. then joe biden did that come to her, as of course is delivering her closing arguments. as you've been saying that's happening at the same spot and washington, or donald trump on january 6th, 2021. and that's the day amount of attack the capital he spoke there. what's the atmosphere like where you are right now? right. probably, you know, i speed here 4 years ago on january 6, not far from here and right behind me. exactly where kind of the harris will be addressing the american people tonight to donald trump and cards to support us to

march towards the capital. and this is definitely what she will put in the center of her speech tonight, trying to explain by she's things donald trump is a threat to democracy and democracy. sorry. and might do the same thing again if you will not written. so that will be in the focus of her speech in a couple of hours time. same as always the, the don't use at washington bureau chief in his po for us in the us capital or they don't get a vote on november 5th. but for ukrainians, the states in the us as presidential election couldn't be higher helping ukraine, used to be one of the few things. democrats and republicans agreed on, but on trump has refused to spell out whether he wants to ukraine to win its war against russia's invasion. with potent showing trump and kind of the harris neck and neck ukrainians are trying to make sense of what a trump or a iris presidency was made for the i think zelinski is one of the greatest salesman

i've ever seen. every time he comes in with them a $100000000000.00, but he should never have left that or start that lowers a loser. if donald trump for president vladimir put and will be sitting in cheese and understand what that would mean for america. and are standing around the world putting keys with this scenario most ukrainians thought was off the cards of to 20 . 22. donald trump is put the cost of supporting crane at the center this pitch 2 american voters. and that's for couple of hours to respond. dr. campaign in which she's been trying to stick, clear foreign policy. good. thank you. brand new sympathies, what it will be with harris, for the most part they are. but his name is, let's get told new york magazine. the trump quote doesn't really know how to stop the war and cool trumps running mate j. d vaults his ideas to end the conflict

dangerous. but it's a little that clear cuts. there is very real frustration in cube with the bite in ministration. and it's vice president come a harris and since ukrainians don't get a vote in the selection that policy makers having to map out what they do. if trump gets back to the white house and look for potential upsides, trump is unpredictable keys risky. he is what skeptical about our prospect, but at the same time he was the 1st to provide joe is he's also the one who promised to ball moscow and they do, harris is much more predictable. she is differently, we'll repeat some divided mistakes, and that is being a decisive install control. and so helping you create in great petitions for a bit harris administration will be dominated by fighting the reform policy thinking they see as too fearful of crossing into circles. red lines, for instance, by allowing ukraine to use us long range weapons against targets in russia. a card us support these critics argue is enough to provide the ukraine's army from

collapsing. but insufficient trisic thrills damage of pitching. a force into a duel on terms of grain can agree to your grand needs more rather the less you a support. how could it ever expect that from a man like donald trump, who never misses an opportunity to complain about what ukraine is costing americans? the only one to many observers and come with the harris trumps often repeat, you claim that he can end the war in 24 hours. it sounds like code for forcing ukraine capitulate by pulling the plug on us support. heavy can see some of ukrainians think they can still when trump over they point to previous trump policy, you tons and suggestions for me is advises that they would increase a to ukraine. opiate only if cogent fails to negotiate their awesome uh, some of our stakeholders costs do. convinced is that drunk will change his mind, and they will be able to convince drugs to see your brain as a 1st of all, they going to email, you build it up or do they need you? great. as a success story for pro,

the side for the politics is also the human side of this equation we spoke. a couple of trump makes no secret of his admiration for pigeon trump of the landscape . of serious baggage trunk was impeached and 2019 validations he pushed to lensky to investigate job by the son's business. and what grade full that works on the crime is convinced trump and zalesky more uncommon to me 1st me see i need to be here. they petition, suppose the same approach to foreign policy. they, i'm all about individual approaches into the context of ways and says, so if you still use the landscape as you said, what a good, a good sales man. and i do believe that's a full point of your dropped a good salesman. it is a compliment. and then there's the question of money. us the sofa provided ukraine is approximately 100000000 dollars of age. is russia invited? $20.00 to $22.00. that's less than 5 percent of the us defense budgets over the same period. for example, with american voters on the same. and not just the republicans seen from key if

that is another way the us and you are at what's called skate and not just freeze hundreds of billions dollars of russian assets in western banks in american taxpayers. wouldn't have to put the bill of defending ukraine. russia would ukraine's leaders can convince trump the price of supporting them is coming down. then maybe just maybe they can change trumps mind. few wins the white house on november, the 5th. and if there's twins, the message from key if she would be unhappy with either we can talk now with nora bend to hell, an expert on warfare and us defense policy at the johns hopkins school of advanced international studies. good to have you on data with you news. so we just heard in that report that ukraine wants to us to increase the pressure on russia, for example, by freezing russian assets. do you see that happening? owns, or either harris or trump?

i think the policy differences between a harris and trump administration would be considerable on ukraine. i'm very skeptical that trump, if you were to be elected, would change his policies towards ukraine. he has spoken directly about wanting to stop that warranty claims. in 24 hours. i don't think it could be that quickly, but it would just sensually freeze in place the borders and the territory that is helped today, which would no doubt be a strategic loss for ukraine. the issue of, uh, freezing resources, uh, russian resources and helping that get back to ukraine in terms of the system. so i say it is, is probably not what's most likely. i think if there were to be increased assistance to ukraine and i think that depends very heavily on the results of the congressional elections. not just the presidential elections. most of that money is being spent in the united states on arguments that are being provided to ukraine. so i think it would continue to the us money that is essentially being spent domestically in order to help you. great. um,

what about when were to my weapons long range weapons? ukraine says a urgent need needs more from the us. the ukraine has said that since the beginning of the war, and there has been detention because the by the administration has wanted to ensure that any assistance to ukraine does not provoke russia into escalation into some direct conflict with the united states or nato. and potentially as, as putting a warrant early in the war and nuclear confrontation, i think that a harris administration would have many of the same concerns about deterrence and the russian role. and again, a trust policies. uh and, and the, you know, that there's a lot of evidence that his people are planning to implement the policies that they are talking about on the campaign is any administered incoming administration. would they want to end the war? so i don't see how that would end up releasing some of those restrictions in that sense. the ukrainians have to be hoping for a harris when rather than a trump one,

no longer to warn you cry and goes on to bigger an issue because it becomes essentially in the united states where it's already being discussed at length. obviously at considering we're in this presidential campaign and on and you mentioned that as well. we're also talking about it's not just the president, it's also what happens in congress. so do you see patients or support running act is that it? is that a serious concern for you, or the republicans in congress have been leading the campaign to reduce aid and assistance to ukraine. i've tried to stop it several times in this congressional session. so the control congress matters greatly to this discussion. and right now it's too close to, to tell if the republicans maintain control of at least one of the chambers of congress, either the house or the senate, that they will have leverage to, you know, try to impose their views and reduce that assistance. but again, if, if,

if trump is elected president, there may not be a request to congress for that kind of assistance. anyway, i think that in that case, it didn't a harris administration. the republicans control at least one of the 2 chambers. they will try to block continued assistance, but it's possible that the democrats can cut a deal to get it through the same way they have over the previous 4 years, or will be keeping a very, very close eye on this. of course, in the, in the next few weeks and months. thanks so much nora nor events of hell. joining us at today from the johns hopkins school of advanced international studies. thanks now at least 93 palestinians have been killed and dozens more injured in his riley, striking causes nor spots according to the territories government media office which is run by how most women and children are among the victims. after miss alice had a residential building at the time of the day, yeah. more people are believe to be trapped onto the different the building was reported to have been sheltering displaced, palestinians. israel hasn't commented on the attack. he's ready. ministry has

frequently struck shelters for displaced people claiming to be carrying out precise strikes against how most americans united nations extra general antonio latasha is warrant of devastating consequences for palestinians. if these wrote implements a low binding, the un agency for palestinian refugees, this follows the passage of bills in the is riley parliament and the preventing audra from operating in israel. the vote has drawn international criticism with 9 to 2 votes in favor and 10 against israel's paula montez fossil banning the u. s. main agent, super police teens. from working into israel. the decision could heard 8 f as some godsa, the west bank and east jerusalem. is real accuses henri stoffers, involvement in october 7, tara tech, and being a few late with some us and all the armed groups. one more as an

organization that a terrorist organization has completely taken over. what we've seen in gaza is how come as taking over united nation facility schools, hospital clinics and headquarters, in order to use them as military base as to hide ammunition, to hide rockets, to actually commit chair activities from the united nation facility on roof quite 9 and police officer investigation but denies no really aging on groups and says x quickly through the suspect of militants. foreign ministers from several countries, including germany, france and britain, expressed great concern about the bed. in every, every refugee company, united nation is a beacon of hope. in such a matter of profound regret these that these latent parliament is considering shutting down on this operation. allocations because on the stuff out of this week,

we're fully investigated. and often nature's fiction for costume of time spent on israel's g l i. the us also joined the call so things that everyone on her plays a critical important role in delivering humanitarian assistance to civilians that need it and gaza. there's nobody that can replace them right now. in the middle of the crisis over laptops, i may have shut off from minutes to benjamin netanyahu said that israel is ready to continue providing 8 to garza dog gun. but only no way the doesn't threaten these rules. security a little earlier we asked under a senior communications manager, jonathan file, or whether it's possible to reform the organization or even replace it with a different one. we. we have a mandate from the un general assembly that mondays has been reviewed repeatedly

every 3 years since 1949. so that's a sign that the reason for our existence has not gone away. and the reason we still exist is i've seen indictments of a political fight yet in the region and beyond to bring a balance, adjust, and lasting supplements to your solution to the, to the post on refugee issue. so i mean that's, that's about that, that, that's, that's one issue, but i mean, we have that monday. that means that means we're not, we're not going anywhere until such time as not monday seems to cease to exist and the organization is reforming. the organization has been reforming for a number of years. no benign nation is perfect, particularly large organizations, organizations, functions and functioning in a stream, be sensitive political contacts. but we, we've gone through repeated reviews or independent reviews and has been concluded that we have the most robust frameworks for scrutiny. we all are scrutinized and to see in the united nation system. all of these things mean yes. you know, we, we, we, oh, recognize all parts of the human. recognize that we need to do better. but the

report cards is particularly bad for us and that is not as unfair. it's not, it's not correct. germany has recalls it's on bassett or to a run over the execution of a jewel german rainy and national intel around. the ambassador was reportedly summoned by raining officials after he protested him. what he said was the strongest possible terms, the execution of john charmaya as sparked outrage here in germany and beyond. he was convicted on terror charges last year and what germany and international rights groups denounced as a trial trial is executed by taylor. i'm so crime, says fireman, he says he didn't commit job, she'd shock mode was kidnapped, and then taken to iran against his will. the rainy and german dissident and vocal critic of the islamic republic was abducted in 2020 and divide by radians, security forces. and then convicted on disputed type of charges. germany star

administer, adelina babel was quick to strongly condemn it. rhymes his execution, posting on social media. she said, the killing shows once again, what kind of ends you mean, regime rules interim originally and that uses de against its use, its own population and for nationals. adding that the execution of a gym and national would have serious consequences. she expressed her heart, felt sympathy for the shock mounts family. the shock mugs, daughter rejected bab books, condolences posting a defiant video of herself in support of her father on social media. because those shelf mode instead heaped accusations on the gym and government. we did not want any statements or condolences that did not include the immediate return of my father, dead or alive, the severe punishment for the islamic regime. murders having threatened the around with severe consequences. gemini is now under scrutiny as to what it will do

next to us more on this. our political correspondent, julia valley, is here in the studio with me. julia, great to see you. so before we discuss what's next, brings up to date on what happened diplomatically between ron and jeremy. so what we saw today was the use of pretty traditional diplomatic tools that countries used to show the satisfaction with each other. and it's not the 1st time that such tools are used. for example, both countries expelled each other's diplomats, after some odd, was sentenced to death in a ron. but what we saw today was initially the german for a ministry here in berlin, summoning the iranian charge aid, the fair is here in berlin. iran currently doesn't have an investor here in berlin, so it's the charge of affairs that get summons for a talk. and at the same time in terror on the german ambassador there presented them official protests to the ring and for a ministry. and there was

a discussion between the german and bass through their entire on and the ring and foreign minister. and after that, germany recall, it's in bass that are from tire on to come back to berlin and consult with the foreign ministry here. now when it comes to summoning unimed bass, or this is a quite classic diplomatic tool to show some of this content. and it can range from having a child to actually really showing some dissatisfaction. when a master is re called for con, some patients, it really sends a strong signal that the government isn't really happy with the counterpart. and in this case, we can think that possibly germany is looking with their investor on what next steps to take. what we actually heard as well, from germany's foreign minister on an in a bad buck who is threatened to quote, at further consequences for it a run. what, what could that mean? she's not the only one. we also heard from the use of foreign policy chief use of but that he also talked about possible measures that can be taken. and we heard

from that you commissions that these could be any kinds of measures. but what seems the most likely are set actions against the ron now of the you already has sanctioned individuals in iran and also members of the revolutionary guard, which is the runs. it leads military group. and we know that germany has shown that it would like to sanction be entirety of the revolutionary guards. and there have been reports that german 4 minister under the babel of has brought forward unofficial proposal in the e. u in brussels to sanction the entire revolutionary guard under the use terrorism sanctions. now, some of the individual members are sanctioned because they are part of the runs nuclear program because of human rights violations are because of support to the war and ukraine. this other batch of sanctions would involve the entirety of the group and it would also have potentially economic consequences because the

revolutionary guard controls lots of parts of the economy and the wrong different sectors. and this would mean asset freezes for the members. so it wouldn't be quite a strong political signal coming from germany and the it will we be given to a close sign that of course we'll leave it there are due to views federal corresponding to yesterday. thanks about i have to transfer or off. schultz is looking for ways to shake off germany's economic malaise, as europe's largest economy look set to contract for the 2nd consecutive year. he hosted in industry some of business leaders and officials on tuesday and finding answers to tough questions about stalled growth and structural problems. the pressure is on for the government to pass an effective growth package and find ways to revive the nation's economy. why is germany's economy in such bad shape? and what would it take to get things going again? sean sla, olaf schultz is facing tough questions like these are the industry summit and the

chancery where he is meeting business need. his employee is an union representatives. the summit aims to address mountain concerns over the country's economic stagnation and to look for solutions to obvious structural problems in your homes. we systematically did not invest enough, you know, infrastructure which can be seen with delay trains and collapsing bridges. the lack of digitalization across administrations that we have not done enough to mobilize the potential of skilled workers, both on the domestic job market and in terms of the employment of images. according to i am f predictions for this. yeah. and combined with the german economy ministry's full cost, here's how germany is expected to stock up against the us, china in japan and india projections yet again, it is expected to be the only economy to contract dominate is very much exposed to a rising energy prices. so the energy intensive industry like the chemical industry

is strong in germany, then we have issues in the car industry, the transition towards electric mobility, the growing importance of i t, the difficulties and the chinese market. so all of that is, is making like life difficult for uh, the car industry. the countries giants call make a volkswagen may have to substantially reduce its operations. in germany. europe's biggest, copied usa is planning to shop to at least 3 factories in germany. they of tens of thousands of stuff and permanently comp production that is remaining plots in germany, of the cracks in europe's biggest economy, a deepening, and businesses want something to be done by the government soon. all right, who are up to date up next eco africa visits, coastal communities in the gambia that are struggling with the effects of over fishing and pollution. that's after
