TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

Hey there from CNN, I'm Chris DeBeau with The Buy Things You Need to Know for Tuesday, August 20th. It's day two of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Tonight's lineup of speakers includes former first lady Michelle Obama, second gentleman Doug Emhoff, and former president Barack Obama. An advisor to CNN, Obama plans to deliver a quote, forceful affirmation that Harris is the right leader for the moment.

Former White House press secretary Josh Earnest says Obama can still rally young voters, something the Democrats need to do to win in November. While Barack Obama is now 20 years older than he was when he spoke at the first convention, he still has an appeal among younger voters, and his ability to motivate them to inspire them, nobody's better given these big speeches and really summoning a big emotional moment than Barack Obama. And that will be the task that he has tonight. And DNC organizers say you'll see some Republicans speaking tonight.

Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz will attend a campaign rally today in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in the same arena where the Republican National Convention was held last month. So while the Democrats gather in Chicago this week, former President Donald Trump is continuing his battleground state campaign blitz today. He'll be heading Michigan later today for the first time since Harris shook up the race after stopping in Pennsylvania yesterday at a manufacturing plant. Every policy in the Trump agenda is designed to bring the jobs in wealth back home to America where it belongs and where it's going to stay.

Kamala puts America last. I put America first. CNN still mattingly explains why the shift in Trump's programming this week is in line with what Republicans want and where he's heading next. This format can very tightly coordinated small crowds, maybe 150 to 200 people max.

It's actually we're going to see throughout the course of the week. And if that sounds like something you may have heard of before, it actually tracks very closely with what Republicans have been saying for the last several weeks, they want the former president to do. Stop with the personal attacks, stop with the rambling press conferences and rallies, instead focus on policy contrast issues like the economy, like immigration, where for months now Trump has had a fairly significant advantage over Democrats. He'll be heading over to Michigan, then North Carolina, then Arizona, then Nevada, all states the Trump campaign wants to win, some of which it absolutely needs to win.

We know more about the people who are missing after a tornado hit a luxury yacht off the coast of Sicily yesterday. British tech tycoon Mike Lynch, Morgan Stanley international chairman Jonathan Bloomer and Chris Marvillo, a prominent American lawyer, are among those still unaccounted for. The sinking killed one of the 22 people on board after the vessels masked broke in half during the storm. 15 people have been rescued so far and local authorities say the wreck is so deep that divers can only work there for limited periods of time, making rescue efforts complicated.

In space news, the European Space Agency's Juice Mission is making two historic firsts this week. The Juice, or Jupiter-ICMoon's Explorer spacecraft, is conducting the first flyby of the Moon and Earth in succession, and the first double-gravity assist maneuver. The spacecraft is on a long journey to study the potential habitability of Jupiter's icy moons. And this week's process serves as a slingshot, allowing Earth's gravity to put the brakes on Juice's current trajectory and redirect it for a flyby of Venus next summer.

There are apparently two points in people's lives where they age dramatically. That's next. The new study shows humans age dramatically at two key points in their life. Humans age at a molecular level in accelerated bursts, first at age 44 and again at 60.

The study, which was published in the journal Nature Aging, shows human aging doesn't happen in a gradual, linear way. There are specific points in time that are particularly important for aging and health. So, what should we do with this information? The researchers advise making lifestyle changes, like drinking less alcohol and exercising more, when approaching those pivotal years in your 40s and 60s.

Alright, that's all for now. I'm Krista Bowe, our next episode drops at 3PM Eastern. Until next time.
