barack trevelyan injoe biden's home town. ba rack 0bama trevelyan injoe biden's home town.m aboutjoe biden and kamala harris but it is very unusual, isn't it, for a president to attack, by name, a predecessor and to sound quite so apocalyptic about democracy itself at risk. yes, quite an extraordinary speech thereby barack 0bama who, remember, has really avoided talking about donald trump 9:00am ever since was elected. he spoke in general terms about policies that he disagrees with, he spoke up to protect the dreamers, for example, those young undocumented immigrants that donald trump wanted to ta ke that donald trump wanted to take away the legal protections from, but this was just, the gloves ca m e from, but this was just, the gloves came off. he said, i did hope that donald trump might show some interest in taking thejob show some interest in taking the job seriously but he never did he said donald trump hasn't grown into thejob did he said donald trump hasn't grown into the job and he can't, and he was very explicit, he said the cost of thatis explicit, he said the cos

barack 0bama ba rack 0bama has barack 0bama has tweeted saying i‘ve known kamala harris for a long timeton said this, this is a terrific choice. kamala harris will bea terrific choice. kamala harris will be a great partner and she and joe biden make a strong team. president trump has been reacting in the white house as well. so what do we know about joe biden‘s new running mate? senator kamala harris has a resume that includes time in the us senate and as california‘s attorney general, as well as san francisco‘s district attorney. she‘s at least been somewhat vetted by the national media, given that she ran for president last year and was considered, for a time, as a top—tier candidate. she did have a dust—up with biden in the first primary debate last june, where she suggested his past views against desegregating schools through mandatory busing was hurtful. let‘s take a look at that exchange. we don‘t have that for you now but we showed it to you earlier. let‘s pick up on that and a few issues with anthony who joins us mount from the states. anthony, she‘s been the front runnerfor qui

one of the biggest things this time and the biggest challenge for the democratic party is barack 0bamay get a lot of that magic coming together in a very short order. it typically doesn't happen. joe biden is not barack doesn't happen. joe biden is not ba rack 0bama doesn't happen. joe biden is not barack 0bama and it is unfairto makea not barack 0bama and it is unfair to make a comparison. what i do think that matters is that you have a kamala harris and joe biden and two sides of the coin that is quite frankly different because joe biden the coin that is quite frankly different becausejoe biden is ina different becausejoe biden is in a solid —— solid moderate wing and you have the progressive side of kamala harris, she is further left thanjoe harris, she is further left than joe biden harris, she is further left thanjoe biden and she is someone thanjoe biden and she is someone who brings a lot to the table, andi someone who brings a lot to the table, and i think those issues, particularly, igoing to get people out. in addition to get people out. in addition to the fact that american

from barack 0bama and joe biden.mp's failures of leadership, our economy has taken one of the biggest hits out of all the major industrialised nations within unemployment rates that have tripled as of today. you been watching the first joint campaign appearance as of today. you been watching the firstjoint campaign appearance from joe biden and kamala harris. we will return, but to our viewers on pbs here in the united states, thank you for watching. we will be back again with bbc world news america tomorrow. i'm jane o'brien, with bbc world news america tomorrow. i'mjane o'brien, thank you for watching and have a very good night. we will create millions ofjobs and good night. we will create millions of jobs and fight good night. we will create millions ofjobs and fight climate change through a clean energy revolution. bring back critical supply chains so the future is made in america. build on the affordable care act so eve ryo ne on the affordable care act so everyone has a peace of mind that comes with health insu

museum of the american revolution in philadelphia, birthplace of us democracy, former president barack 0bamarectly attack the sitting president. donald trump hasn't grown into the job, because he can't. and the consequences of that failure are severe. 170,000 americans dead. millions ofjobs, gone. while those at the top take in more than ever. 0ur worst impulses unleashed, our proud reputation around the world badly diminished. this administration has shown it will tear our democracy down, if that's what it takes for them to win. so we have to get busy, building it up by pouring all our efforts into the 76 days. kamala harris is my auntie. my stepmom. my big sister! barack 0bama's presidency was historic, now kamala harris is the first woman of colour to be a vice presidential candidate. her hope was that an increasingly diverse american electorate could see their story in her acceptance speech. i keep thinking about that 25—year—old indian woman, all of five feet tall, who gave birth to me at kaiser hospital in oakland, california. on that day, she probably could have never imagined that i

barack 0bama's presidency was historic.r to be a vice presidential candidate. her hope was that an increasingly diverse american electorate could see their story in her acceptance speech. i keep thinking about that 25—year—old indian woman, all of five feet tall, who gave birth to me at kaiser hospital in oakland, california. on that day, she probably could have never imagined that i would be standing before you now and speaking these words. i accept your nomination for vice president of the united states of america. we have a chance to change the course of history. we are all in this fight — you, me, and joe. together. what an awesome responsibility. the 77—year—old joe biden who tried to run for president twice before is hoping that this is his moment, as so many americans grieve so many different losses, this was his message. i have some idea how it feels to lose someone you love. i know that deep black hole that opens up in the middle of your chest and you feel like you are being sucked into it. i know how mean and crue

, what happened in 2008 with ba rack 0bama, that what happened in 2008 with barack 0bama, that isow democrats were able to pass 0bama care. then democrats lost the senate in 2012, donald trump has not been in control of the house of representatives since 2018, divided government in this country is very difficult. that is why you are hearing this message again and again, vote, vote. you see the women wearing white. that is a tribute to the suffragists, not the suffragettes as we call them in britain, by the women who campaign for the right to vote a hundred years ago. the desire by democrats to build on the wave of rivers and by women, which followed the defeat of hillary clinton. —— defeat. talking about the record number of women house of representatives in the democratic party. so clearly there is an attempt tonight going on to harness the power and the energy of women on the democratic side to try to win the presidency, or increase the house of rivers we will see what republicans think about that. nancy pelosi touching and we have heard from any other speakers, we will hear muc

and 20 years later, he ran again and lost to barack 0bama. y turned into a partnership. 0bama said he always wanted biden to be the last person in the room when there was a big decision to make. and after two terms as vice president, there was talk of him running again in 2016, but the death of his son, beau, changed his plans. unfortunately i believe we're out of time, the time necessary to mount a winning campaign for the nomination. if biden‘s political currency is empathy, it comes from knowing grief, which may mean 2020 is finally his moment. 170,000 americans are dead from covid, the whole country is grieving. after all this time, democrats hope that makes joe biden the right man for thejob. do voters think he is the right man for the job? let's bring in democratic strategist mary anne marsh, and republican strategist ron christie. let's start with you mary. joe biden has given an awful lot of speeches in an awfully long career, how important you think one is? it is the most important speech of his career, no question about it. he has th

we have had bill clinton saying that joe biden in 2008 after the great recession, he and barack 0bamaving again and when they left it was growing, which is true. but it doesn't exactly explain what they would do in this situation where we have mass unemployment and a situation where the supercharged unemployment and if it's for americans have run out and there isn't a clear replacement so a lot of people are casting around wondering how they're going to pay their rent, their belts, what is happening. we haven't heard specifics as to whatjoe biden would do in a situation. when he speaks on thursday night, but will be his moment to outline to americans what he would actually do but is he going to be vague and stick with this reclaiming the soul of america, or is he going to be more specific. another trump attack line of course this idea thatjoe biden and kamala harris are to some extent prisoners of the left, puppets of the left. this convention is working quite hard to belie that isn't it? bernie sanders was allowed to speak live but it keeps alexandria 0casio—cortez to under two minut

rs barack 0bama, who was eight years in the white house.w americans can, she has seen first—hand, close up, the qualities that you need, of clear leadership, of steadiness. she was incredibly direct. donald trump is the wrong president for our country, he is in over his head, she said. it is what it is, he can't meet this moment. and she said, if you think things can't possibly get worse, you are wrong, if donald trump gets another four years. she said we have got to vote forjoe biden like our lives depend on it, because he listens, he will tell the truth, and trust science. very interesting that she is taking issue there with what she sees as donald trump's lack of empathy, his inability to walk in the shoes of others. speaking as the wife of the president, she clearly sees that as being the clear quality, the ability to understand where others are, to see where they are going. so this was a very direct, very emotional, very personal and very powerful speech, in which, as you say, she has this unique perspective as the wife of a president.

the attackers took control of the accounts of people such as bill gates and barack 0bama, and trickede into sending more than $100,000 worth of bitcoin. in a few minutes, it'll be time for the film review. but first, click. hey, welcome to click. hope you are doing 0k. this week, we have something special for you. you see, every so often we start investigating a subject, thinking it will make a nice, interesting five—minute film, but then we tug on a particular thread and it turns out there is something way bigger and way weirder going on than we thought. talking of way weirder, here's 0mar mehtab. hey, mate. hey, how's it going? good, thanks. so do you want to start off by telling us what you we re originally sent out to look at? we wanted to find out how online influencers, the big personalities you see on social media, have been impacted during the pandemic. it seemed pretty straightforward. yeah, and then things got really interesting, right? yeah, it did. we started doing a little bit of digging and a pattern emerged of influencers abusing the trust of their millions of followers

biden has shown that he is not exactly the statesman that he was when he was vice president to barack 0bamaand just has not been as fast and is click on the campaign trailas many not been as fast and is click on the campaign trail as many would like to have seen. so i think that donald trump may well have some cars up

indirect reference to make the indirect reference to donald trump possibly there as well, but it was barack 0bamait was barack obama who was the rottweiler in terms of his assessment of the current president? is interesting because after the michelle obama ‘s speech, i likened her to a relay race, the final leg of a relay race, taking the convention home but clearly what she was doing with her searing indictment and criticism of president donald trump was, she was handing that baton off to her husband. we have never seen barack obama speak in such caustic and biting language that we thought tonight and i think what we saw from a former president, speaking about a current president, the current occupant of the white house, which is something we typically do not d -cin something we typically do not d — c in presidential politics, it was striking but also rather riveting to see someone like barack obama riveting to see someone like ba rack obama who riveting to see someone like barack obama who we typically expect calm and cool and collected, to be so visceral in his indictment of the current presid

so he retaliates, saying he wouldn't even have hisjob if barack 0bama hadn't been so dreadful.hind in the polls, and i think what they're trying to do is bait him — there's been interesting tactics from this republicans against trump movement called the lincoln project to wage psychological warfare against him to do political campaign efforts, talking about people who are briefing against him, building mistrust in this campaign. because the more he lashes out like this, the more he lashes out like this, the more he lashes out like this, the more petty he sounds and appears. and i think in the end, that place into the more serious responsible democrat portfolio. maybe it'sjust wishful responsible democrat portfolio. maybe it's just wishful thinking because he won in 2016. we've only got a few minutes left, the daily express, 300,000 jobs face the acts on the high streets. this coinciding with the ending of the original furlough scheme. yes, we've seen marks & spencer is saying it is shutting 7000 jobs, about 42,000 jobs have already gone. the retail sector again is asking for a

. sort of chemistry that he had with barack 0bama. men didn't always ci to i, particularly on matters of foreign policy but they struck up foreign policy but they struck up what proved to be a very harmonious and very good working relationship. they trusted each other implicitly and joe biden was looking for those sort of qualities in his own running mate. did you say president trump has attacked her already as a prisoner of the left? she has in fact taken some flack from the left wing, former prosecutor in california was running the second—largest judicial system in the united states, but that phrase, kamala harris is a cop, was heard on the left. that's right it she has amended her position somewhat particularly in regard to matters relating to criminal justice because she has had to, really, such as the mood of the country at the moment and this isa country at the moment and this is a direct time. we have had these protests from coast to coast over the death of george floyd of course and the reform of the police and racial inequali

the players' actions were praised by former preisdent barack 0bama.basketball — five major league soccer matches were also been cancelled. in tennis, naomi 0saka — the highest paid female athlete in the world — pulled out of her semi—final match at a tournament ahead of the us open. the two—time grand slam champion — who earlier in the year travelled to minnesota to pay tribute to george floyd — said on twitter that "watching the continued genocide of black people at the hands of the police" was making her sick to her stomach. the tournament has now been suspended for the day. and three matches in major league baseball were also postponed. the new york mets did take to the field, but the issue is clearly causing great trauma for one of their players. the most difficult part is to see people still don't care. and for this to continuously happen... just be hate in people's hearts. —— the hate. that just sucks. be hate in people's hearts. —— the hate. thatjust sucks. being a black man in america is not easy. some breaking newsjust into us — manchester un

and after the president's adverse comments about his predecessor, barack 0bama is expected to tell the.

former vice president himself when they had the event earlier in delaware, he talked about what barack 0bamang about saying i want to be the last person in the room before making important decisions. how powerful can a vice president be? the office is really changed. the constitution just gives the vice president really two functions to preside over the senate and to be first in line of succession in case something happens to the president. but really, nowadays a vice president almost never preside over the senate, most of their work is in the executive branch. beginning with the presidency ofjimmy carter, vice presidency of walter mondale. vice presidents it really moved into the white house and become part of the presidents inner circle. so he or she functions as an across—the—board adviser and a troubleshooter for the president. vice president biden was a very influential vice president because as you say, he was the last person in the room. he had the chance, the last chance really, to change president 0bama is mind. he also took on important assignments from the president. how do you se

voting is a health issue in this election, given the spread of coronavirus, and former president barack 0bamaostal service as he put it, in a bid to discourage people from turning out to vote. in mexico, the popocatepetl volcano is starting to show signs of eruption. here it is sending massive ash columns 600 meters into the sky. its name comes from the aztec word for "smoking mountain" and is one of the country's most active volacanos. most of its eruptions are small and cause little damage. one of the countries hit earliest in the coronavirus pandemic was south korea. the authorities there were praised for their quick and efficent response to the outbreak. public transport is a potential area where the virus could spread. but in seoul they're trying to make it as safe as possible, as the bbc‘s tim allman explains. in the age of covid—i9, travelling by bus can be a hazardous business. but in south korea technology is your friend and this is a bus stop unlike any other. called a smart shelter, it's air—conditioned, sterilised and open only to the coolest of travellers — literally. translation

hack on july 15 that took over the accounts of high profile figures, including former president barack 0bamaear—old mason sheppard from west sussex in the uk, and 22—year old nima fazeli from orlando in florida. the third person is graham ivan clark, who's i7, and was arrested in florida. prosecutors say he was the main figure behind the hack. clark, the mastermind, lives here in tampa, committed the crimes here, and he'll be prosecuted here. working together, we will hold him accountable. the state attorney's office is handling this prosecution rather than federal prosecutors, because florida law allows us greater flexibility to charge a minor as an adult in a financial fraud case like this. that's the prosecutor in the twitter hacking case. the bbc‘s chris fox explains how the hackers managed to breach the security system. well, twitter actually today has explained a little bit more about how the attackers got access into the system. they said it was a spear phishing attack. now, phishing attacks are those ones that most of us have probably experienced — where somebody will send you an ema

in fact, we heard some pretty pointed commentary from malik 0bama about former president barack 0bamaet to the white house you have family members who sometimes decide to voice their sibling rivalries, their frustrations. nothing new but going into next week it's not something that's going to be an issue. less tha n less than 18 days to the us presidential election, and you can find out more about it on our website. go to bbc.com/news for that and much more. with millions of children due to return to school in the coming weeks and days, parents are being forced to consider how safe they will be, with the coronavirus still present in society. but the uk's chief medical advisor, professor chris whitty, has said that the long term risks from missing lessons are greater than those of catching the virus in class. sarah campbell reports. for these scottish pupils, it was a damp but welcome return to school for the new academic year. and today there were reassuring words for the millions more across the uk who are about to get back to the classroom. the chances of children being... catching

that year, you had an extraordinarily telegenic, remarkably articulate candidate in the name of barack 0bamarats. i think this is an addition for 2024. and the unspoken man is vice president mike pence. i think folks have looked beyond him and are looking to see who is going to have the baton, who is going to have the baton, who is going to have the baton, who is going to catch that baton and move forward as the presumptive nominee for the next cycle ? presumptive nominee for the next cycle? and that is what so many of us are looking at tonight, who does the president put up in the very prominent spots? not his daughter but be very prominent spots to really highlight what the president has done and to place his name and nomination to accept that nomination. we will leave it there for the moment. thank you all for joining there for the moment. thank you all forjoining us, for now. tens of thousands of protesters are expected to gather in washington on friday to commemorate the historic 1963 civil rights march on washington. the protest marks the 57th anniversary of martin luther kinng.‘s icon

leading the tributes, barack 0bama said: "chadwick came to the white house to work with kids when heung, gifted and black, to use that power to give them heroes to look up to, to do it all while in pain, what a use of his years." a sentiment that will be shared by the millions who watched and loved chadwick boseman‘s films. the actor chadwick boseman, who's died at the age of a3. the authorities in belarus — a country swept by mass unrest in the wake of disputed presidential elections — are stripping accreditation from a large number —— are stripping the accreditation from a large number ofjournalists who report for the western media. they include bbc russian language journalists. the bbc has called on the belarusian authorities to revoke the decision. 0ur correspondent steve rosenberg has retained his accreditation, although he was detained by security forces in minsk. well, it's clearly an attempt to interfere with coverage of events here, to make it harder for international media organisations to talk about what is happening in belarus. as you say, we still have our accreditations

success because most people believe that barack 0bama is an american andh kamala harris where she was born in 0akland, kamala harris where she was born in oakland, california and many americans had more important things on their mind like the pandemic and also the economic toll that has resulted. so very few americans are going to defeat —— see what donald trump said and say i will not vote for harris and biden now and that settles the issue. there is no issue and it is kind of a distraction from the failures of the pandemic response. that is the key thing because as we get ever closer to the election, president trump want to set out his stall explain to voters where he will be different and where he will improve things for them and this seems to be sent to divert attention from that. they don't have attention from that. they don't have a great plan for the second term in terms of actual policy. they —— most americans are very sad and negative towards this administration in terms of the pandemic response. more americans by a few percentage points trust don

politically he thinks he'll get out of it because, as we know, he did push the conspiracy theory about barack 0bamaa and said, "he's from kenya, he's from africa. he wasn't born in this continent, he wasn't born in the united states." and there will be those who listen to the president and say, "oh, she's not from the united states." but the american people see through this, christian. they've seen better and they realise that, for the president to regain re—election as president of the united states, he's going to have to make the case as to why he deserves reelection, why his policies are better thanjoe biden and kamala harris. and i think this isjust a sideshow and a distraction, something that'll irritate voters more than it'll attract. you and i will talk lots about the policy issues over the next 80 days or so. does it frustrate you that this is where we are starting, though? does it worry you that this will become quite a divisive campaign? it doesn't worry me, but it upsets me in the short term. the short term, i think that we really, in the midst of a global pandemic, should be putting asi
