is now about 2000 times it's estimated annual revenue. this'll being driven through by individuals who aren't really your typical investors. so this is potentially a sign of personal support for trump. this is how they want to demonstrate that. we don't necessarily know that the user basis. so for example, as large as outside investor is a guy named jeff yas, but he is doing that through a big investment firm. he's a, he's a billionaire investor, has got a big firm called us of a honda who's the holder there with the assumption is this is mostly retail investors and it's probably true. it's a fairly small flooded stop. but it's entirely possible their institutions in there that, that inside that this was a good thing to buy up, if only because they believe that there are a bunch of retail folks. so we're gonna, we're gonna kind of hold for awhile because they're the support of the trump. we just don't know. it's too early to really know. we'll have to wait a quarter or 2 for reporting or trumps independent drive. and then the presidential election in november, robert f. kennedy junior, has announced his running mate. nicole shawna, how does a california lawyer? it's a 2 year old has been a held any elected office,
8:31 am
but has previously been donated to presidential candidates for the democratic of the we can expound a june in a song she's facing. another way to find out whether he can appeal his expedition from britain to the united states, the high court in london as a john. this decision until may 20th us always has been fighting expeditions since he was charged 5 years ago. he faces 18 charges in the us for releasing classified documents about the was in iraq, afghanistan. now a change in toe goes, constitution means it's coming, president couldn't rule until 2031. it's been labeled a cool by opposition politicians. the newly adopted constitution allows along the presidential term for the president can only hold office for one time. however, it doesn't take into account president for right nothing bay is past 19 years in power. centennial, the remains of victims of us not based on cult something with time to that families
8:32 am
. more than $400.00 bodies were eggs you last year. investigate to say the cult made a fool mackenzie, old of his followers to starve to death. so they could go to have him, mackenzie and $29.00 associates of facing motor and torch up charges. if you're, if, as long as bang sizes recovered almost 80 percent of the money illegally withdraw him by customers. during a computer system glitch up to $14000000.00 was withdrawn or transferred. 2 weeks ago, bank managers say 15000 customers sample entirely return the cash. but around 600 still haven't. that's it for me down jordan, for now you can find more information on our website. i'll just come there is news continues of the israel above below say 2 events, i'm watching bye for now. the in an increasingly complex world, it's paramount to be direct. exception was there should be to national is being to
8:33 am
be this month on sort of discussions that come through the noise upfront one out as you to me, it's an extremely cynical moments for international law. it's an extremely devastating moment for the palestinian people. the, there are rules under international law and no matter which way you look at this is real as in violation of those rules. as of the 7th of october, there's no one north of international humanitarian law that does no being violated by the i never imagined that in my life i would see a genocide taking place in real time before my eyes. the fact that it is being
8:34 am
protected by most weston government takes it to a level that i just never imagined. would it be possible? the colors are with a single message. you're not you're not alone. canada will be a friend of israel and defend its rights including its right to exist and he sort of has the right to defend itself. in fact, it has put duty to defend piece by piece it. abolish from tidings
8:35 am
furnished up, screwed up to ships 40. i'm so for, for that false, put the name with the display, that's the default application as your friend or who will stand with you in solidarity goes down with your people. and we also want you to if one looks at all political leaders today and all of our mainstream politicians, they all the most mandation, the most mediocre, the least talented group of politicians that i can remember during my almost 60 years on this that it is astonishing just how deeply corrupt materially added to marley they are. because many of them be through their nations to the political parties, the motions, to them passively donations to their organizations, like the labor of friends of israel, the conservative friends of israel, the democratic friends of israel, the republican friends of israel,
8:36 am
and the multiple and maria, the other organizations like that, they provide an extremely good living for that to pass. and for those political parties, a thank you for having me. and i'm looking forward to having a thorough discussion about where everybody goes from here every day. in the depth and breath of cooperation, the west is intimately involved and israel's genocidal campaign in gaza. for months we have seen us officials a firm time and again that there are no red lines for israel using exactly that language. when of course, we know that international law draws many red lines, and yet the us has come out and stark. a position granting is real full authority to proceed and to create as much death and destruction as it sees fit. the and shocked by the last old auction of the international community. i'm shocked by
8:37 am
the hands raised by the us unbox. so they're into security council voting against. s a saw your between that says fire. i'm shocked by the lack of action of principal stage. we need to take, again, our principles concrete, stand against this, a been ration and start thinking of functions. the, which we've seen is that the laws of war are used against weaker parties. but if you are, ally is the united states. and if you are, ally can veto any security council resolution. and if your allies are the european states, then the chances that the i c c will bring you to justice are very,
8:38 am
very slim. the international court of justice is a court that renders guilty the losers in the conflict. it is a court of victories and a court that has double standards for the allies of the powerful and for those that it thinks of as it's and that means the views it. so that's it to submission to the international court of justice is some sort of anti semitic screed. i'm black libel. this is nonsense that you couldn't make up. and the nonsense that is being enunciated constantly, not just by the israelis, but that is imperative by the us government, the u. k. government, the german government, the french government, et cetera. and this is being done to defend the indefensible,
8:39 am
to defend the slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent civilians to defend a tax on health facilities on residential homes and places of worship on places of what we're seeing a genocide taking place in gaza. well, choose matters to where it is. you're going to have to choose an area to see who doesn't trimble times it's true. you don't have to be jew would be a scientist. a don't have to be to, to be a scientist, it stinks a nationalist community and its powerful member states life, particularly to the us. but in general western countries, which is still pilot, indeed savvy than individual power, that some member states can exercise within the when the feet of those members
8:40 am
state are from the west. it does or something. no african countries has a veto power in the united nation system. it's the and star system, which is not only representative of where the world is today. but i would like to see this change, and we need to think of better mechanisms not only inside the law, but how the light is applied to ensure that there is no double standards. so it's both a changing of the laws to so that they addressed the current circumstances, but also the institutions of the judicial institutions that apply the law. so they, they don't apply it with double standards and we will continue to actively engage in the hard work of direct diplomacy on the ground until we reach
8:41 am
a final solution. ready ready ready ready ready ready the destruction of over 70 percent of cause of the killing of over $30000.00 palestinians, including $13000.00 palestinian babies and children the injuring of around now $70000.00 palestinians. and the destruction of almost all of the civilian infrastructure in gaza. international law prohibits this completely. we have to remind the but there are at least in theory rules which is real, must abide by and which is violating the
8:42 am
the idea is doing anything they can in are to minimize the cause of it is when it targets the, the military targets. but again, we are in the war in the war civilians. gus harris, he will never see the i is the targets shoot down as severely and you will never see a group of children walking on the beach of guys on is way target them specifically, or an old lady crossing the street and isn't still the old lady is wise, does not target civilians as the jo, a foil, and the house of a member of an eskimo. do you mean to be alone? love will not allow me to another for lunch on the box is red target
8:43 am
military target is why the target paris and when this terrorist surrounds himself with severe, he is with this little children. with this old lady with his on paypal, of this city williams might get hurt, but it's not on the fault of israel is on the fault of the one who surrounded himself with a civilian as the one that to use them as human shields. the the argument of the human shields of palestinians in general, and being a eager to sacrifice their own children as human shields that's been used and this nice over and over the 1st one to this nice. this argument was editor of gold stone that the head of the 1st commission of inquiry over the 1st war in gaza
8:44 am
and it has been disproven over and over. what is the evidence, the israel's instruction to the palestinians 1st to move south and then to move west and then to move north. but basically that instruction which has displaced $1800000.00 people tells the is re lease that any civilians that remains in that area or us. israel assumes that any civilian that remains at the, in that area is either a participant in hostilities and therefore it can be killed or a human shield. namely someone that is being used to shield the legitimate military
8:45 am
target. and that allows the israel to relax the repertoire is of least lethal violence that they use is against these people. and in a court of law that can be used to justify the wholesale killing of civilians. the . it's where it says more than even it's inquired 8, drops flyers over. does that to tell the people to vacate the area? it makes phone calls to residential um, civilians to vacant. the area is very calls to back in the area once. if i took these precautions, it's allowed to take down and build the
8:46 am
east civilians for sure. so say they take the, their own responsibility the . this is a complete distortion of international law if you consider also the fact that israel's and occupier, which i think is the relevance. legal framing here is real, has obligations under occupation law, not only to end the occupation which has now been ongoing for 56 years, but also to protect the occupied people. and we also know that israel has no right to claim self defense in accordance with the article, $51.00 of the un charter with respect to a tex emanating from
8:47 am
a territory that it occupies. and this notion was upheld by the international court of justice. and it's 2004 ruling on the legality of the wall. and so regardless of which way you look at this, there's absolutely no legal defense to committing a genocide the lucky leaving my soul not to lays as such a month the amazon and mine in there. so the, the dump logging bit in the
8:48 am
we have the president of the state saying there's no innocent civilian or there's no on involved civilian in the gaza strip. so these kind of remarks to point to the intent and the if, if it gets to a court of law, then these kinds of remarks become very important in terms of the genocide dual aspect of this war. and lot of people in israel, we not food bad for the palestinians, but yet the leadership in israel fails the for the policy and people. and they allow whatever the minimal humanitarian ad to be provided to the population in gaza. the,
8:49 am
[000:00:00;00] the, the law does create a vision of a certain kind of justice that we want to aspire for. we want to aspire towards a world where human rights for all are protected. the amends scale of suffering. any god, there must be an immediate cease fire or at least the
8:50 am
next which is what is currently on the table. does human rights law give us the tools to achieve human rights? i'm not sure because of the interest of powerful states because of the double standards that are applied in the international arena. and therefore, if it gets to court, often the human rights do not win the day. and so we need to think of other mechanisms to achieve these human rights. the problem is not the problem is with the force of mental potential and in, in the middle east. and in the global south, i would say the problem is that law is closer to political
8:51 am
convenience then to adjust this as i got up and i'm very sorry to say 500 years of core. oh, nice ation. has left a huge imprint in our dna. in general, western people are not able to assess objectively, what is what is being done the through the known obligation or the international law or through the discretionary application of international law. it is terrible to see the dismantlement of international order premier support international law piece by piece the image will have to show the ministry by the name of the for them to type a national until the believe been what's to be the whole industrial method. but i'm, i'm not somebody computer level. i'm out, it's more than a c bite and sure enough when he left him the lender. it's
8:52 am
a whole lot. golf come as much as you've got the it's unclear what absol victory will look like when you've destroyed already 70 percent of gaza when the overwhelming majority cost of $2000000.00 palestinians are displaced. it seems to me that absolute victory means the total destination of gaza to the point that is completely uninhabitable, and that the population of gaza, which israel has told us time. and again in this current moment that that is their goal. but their goal is the d population of gaza and the settlements of goes up by is rarely settler's course in total violation of international law, the israel does not briefly international law is way allocate safety. there is safety or the rules of law according to the international law. why
8:53 am
a country should be above scrutiny. i mean, no one should be the international law is there to be applied universally, and not just for cherry picking because this, this trust phones. as i often say, human rights protection into protectionism, and this is unacceptable the for me, the, the idea that the law will lead to liberation or emancipation, or palestinian self determination is a fiction of human rights is not necessarily the tool. i think the tool needs to be more political in the sense of divestment and the sense of sanctions in the sense of boycotts to use this kind of arsenal of non violent weapons,
8:54 am
to pressure israel to bring about change the israel about pro, let's say years ago realized having been so close to a pottage south africa, the very real threat that b as opposed to the existence of these re, the state as a racist, occupying state. and they created a ministerial department called the department for strategic affairs. specifically, to count to the b b s movement. and what was the strategy that they hit upon? it was to ensure that any criticism of israel, any criticism of its occupation, any criticism of its behavior in the occupied territories was made equivalent to
8:55 am
anti semitism to. and they have been remarkably successful at doing that. there is no other argument that they're not using as of them to send me these massages to deflect the attention from what matters the most from what our analysis insist upon for decades now. i'm not surprised that each road recurs to any strategies to can to a whole it's goals to reach its objectives. but i'm surprised that international communities joins this action. because today you are not just attacked by israel for being and it's on to submitted. if you just ask for the application of international law, do we, is there any, is there any options? it's many, many weston countries to do so. and they'd be tre also. what i'm to summit is them as really being the surge advantage. semitism is united states of america and around the world. sick, you know,
8:56 am
we see it across our communities and schools and colleges and social media, a surface painful scars for millennia. so hate of hate to genocides of jewish people. every time i get, i choose to falsely accused of onto the same it is i respond. i don't stay quiet. i don't get intimidated. i become louder and louder. and by doing so, i think i also inspire other people to do the same. i'm jewish. my mother was one of 20 odd survivors of the holocaust, so to described me is empty semitic given my history of anti racism and my work on genocide prevention. my info, king of the holocaust of which my mother's family was victims and it's simply an absurdity. c simple western world
8:57 am
is prepared to sacrifice the entire architecture of international law that has been put in place post world war 2, specifically to prevent their being and not the genocide like the holocaust. we have prepared to rent all of that asunder so that israel can continue to med uh, $247.00 palestinians on an average day. $48.00 of whom will be women, and a $117.00 of whom will be children. we're prepared to throw it all out. that's the point of crisis that our politics act now. and it is up to all of us who recognize that to actually create, to count a narrative, to the nonsense that dispute by our politicians, to maintain that own place. in this a pulling leap, corrupt a malfunctioning political system,
8:58 am
we have the we continue every single day to wake up and insist on freedom and lives in the face of genocide. and there's simply nothing more dignified that anybody can do in such a hopeless and desperate moments. i don't believe it's going to be sustainable to continue to prevent palestinians from their right to freedom.
8:59 am
the the latest news as it breaks, is really our calories shows this area last night as to the infirmities was remo, done with their tears, and heartbreaks this year with detailed coverage. the gaza strip has 1100 patients with chronic kidney disease. we need 3 treatments a week from the heart of the story. this far hole has been diminished. their prayers continue with the situations to get it to the. a. ask like a narrative. from africans perspective. these are the water in terms of what came up for a perfect to show documentary spot for. can filmmakers have been on the to, on for over 20 is
