Sides tear gas and stun grenades fired at demonstrators in sudan demanding boss to change a year after a power sharing deal was signed. And the vatican expected and former lebanese Prime Minister rafik hariri assassination trial well tell you what it could mean for the crisis for the country. Donald trump is the wrong president for the United States thats the overwhelming message from the 1st day of the Democratic National convention that will formally name joe biden as its president ial candidate former 1st Lady Michelle obama and vermont senator Bernie Sanders who are among a number of both prominent for democrats and republicans giving speeches at the mostly Virtual Event they gave damning reviews of trumps term as president while backing joe biden who is said to be formally nominated at the end of the 4 days when its now speak to alan fischer whos at the white house for us alan clearly a searing indictment of trump a call to action by democrats but with very different approaches in terms of tone from tonights big speakers. Well this is all very different because of covert but it is a moment of american political history the 1st ever for chill convention and typically of the democrats still managed to overrun is to plan for these time of 11 oclock on the east coast but youre right there was a different tour and certainly they covered many areas that people have been talking about the corporate crisis the economic crisis that that is provoked social justice as well but there was a call for unity from many of the people who run for president alongside joe biden and in particular from Bernie Sanders the man who many people thought deserved the nomination 4 years ago and you remember on the 1st day of the convention 4 years ago his supporters walked around with tape over their most suggesting that they were being silenced at the convention this time Bernie Sanders are just them are just them to vote with joe biden and there was also from a speech from Michelle Obama interesting that we go to the wife of the former democratic president for a woman who says that shes not interested in politics she did indeed deliver a searing and damon of 4 years of donald trump if you think things cannot possibly get worse trust me they can and they will if we dont make a change in this election if we have any hope of ending this chaos we have got to vote for joe biden like our lives depended on it i know joe he is a profoundly decent man guided by faith he was a terrific Vice President he knows what it takes to rescue an economy beat back a pandemic and lead our country. This election is the most important in the modern history of this country in response to the unprecedented crisis we face we need an unprecedented response a Movement Like never before of people who are prepared to stand up and fight for democracy and decency and against greed oligarchy and bigotry and we need joe biden as our next president some very powerful speeches there but i dont i have to say watching 2 hours of tonights event and theres going to another 3 days of this it did feel a little weird its like slightly awkward vats what event without all the chairing and balloons do you think that might change the impact of the convention this year. Well the reality is that not Many Americans that dont watch the convention they go for the big speeches when the president speaks when the main challenger speaks thats when the 2 men they dont tend to tune in the 1st 23 nights whats important is that there will be virtual moments the in memoriam section when they run the names of people who died because of the covert crisis in the jobs that they did and put their faces on screen that will be viral the attack that Michelle Obama that will be viral what Bernie Sanders said that all saw will be viral these will be picked up by the newspapers by local radio stations and in particular by the American Networks and they will be repeated again and again and again and now will have an impact both on the perception of the convention but also on the race itself donald trump has been on the campaign trail on monday he will go out on the campaign trail for the next few days as well it is his intention to try and draw some of the headlines are we from the democrats we know that Michelle Obama will be the headline for most of the networks most of the newspapers on tuesday he himself is going to try and steal some of the limelight he has told is that he is going to grant a pardon to someone very very important on tuesday but then the Convention Kicks in again donald trump will have his efforts all next week but i suspect many people think for a 1st step for the democrats did pretty well on tests out there for us at the last house thank you very much allen well former republican president ial hopeful john k. Sets did join a number of prominent g. O. P. Supporters to cross the aisle and to back joe biden he spoke tonight and he says donald trump has stand the country down the wrong path. Continuing to follow that path will have terrible consequences for americas soul because were being taken down the wrong road by a president who is pitted one against the other hes unlike all of our best leaders before him who worked to unite us to bridge our differences and lead us to a United America im a lifelong republican but that attachment whole 2nd place to my responsibility to my country thats why ive chosen to appear at this Convention Last night to tell the bennett hes a former u. S. Deputy assistant secretary of state and he says the speeches from across the political spectrum could well be damaging for trying to run for the presidency you know if you were an alien coming into the country the world for the 1st time comes United States watch this you would see a diverse set of speakers you would see Bernie Sanders you would see john k. Sic the former governor of ohio whos a very conservative republican you would get the sense that the broad swath of america supports joe biden and i think thats the message and thats going to continue to be the message that this is an Inclusive Party a big tent and then joe biden is welcoming those Diverse Communities and diverse thought and republicans included yes and liberal democrats included as well though all of this heated table if he can get that message across every night its going to be a very welcome welcoming argument for voters in particular independent voters in swing states as we get closer to the election.
