suffering traps in 3 to complex, devastating disasters and abject poverty. to make use a cat to human appeal. now to help save lives on transform communities. the . the hello i'm my insight. this is a news life from coming up in the next 60 minutes. israel's ministry recalls ad defense was of as 2 days, often attack on a wrong consulate in damascus. you know it's a nation suspends aid and events at nice and gall so often is riley strike kills 7 . 8 work is on monday. rescue. as in taiwan choice, a free people trapped in collapse building south the powerful of quick and wind

gods and ancient american pay $645.00 in the same and hammer sold united kingdom $49.00 by the same of us president j bought in teams up with his old wible set as a band, he saw this to fish a low, a prescription drug called the the is really ministry is cooling up on its edge. defense was of as for g team, outside of a phase of retaliation, as ron promises payback for in his riley strength of kil, several of his senior administrative officials. this is really media all reporting that the country is on, highlights for a potential, a rainy invest phones. it's tapping was of as to ready. troops as authorities in some regions are considering opening public bomb shelters. on monday, israel struck ron's consulate building in syria, killing

a senior compound to his deputy, and several others funerals happen house to the victims of that attack. munos gathered at b. c. design of shrines south of damascus. on wednesday, crowds of people watched a procession of coffins before, pres, withheld at the shrine. to salute has moved from okey potty stores as well after new assessments from israel's army. they are going to be bolstering air defenses as well as calling out for reserve as to those air bases. israel's air defense systems are 3 fold, the iron to missile defense system, which is the most commonly used in israel, the david sling and the arrow. now all of this comes as israel is expecting some sort of retaliatory attack by need audience after is really air strikes in damascus attack. be it on the emission, killing several people among them. a senior i r g c commander. all of this comes additionally, as israel's defense minister jo, off the launch just

a few days ago. so that israel is, quote, turning from the defensive to pursuing his butler and other it on in back groups wherever they are, whether it be damascus made route and all across the middle east. and these rarely army chief of staff hurts the however, he has also said that he approve new battle and attack plans for the continuation of attacks in southern lebanon is really media reading into this as a wider and broader escalation throughout the middle east. and these rarely army has now raised its alert level to the maximum possible amount from the central jersey to occupied east jerusalem. early i spoke to tom to come moods. he's an assistant professor of public policy at the doe institute for graduate studies. he says wrong will need to prove to his partners a kind of respond to such an attack that has certain across the 3rd line. well, when the attacks, the embassy, i mean the embassy is a,

it's still not protecting like, no, we don't install it. i mean, that's and diplomatic norms and it's a vulgar attacking diploma technology norms, international relations. so it seems to me, yes, it has across the line that onions a they do fee and human data and they are squeeze in a corner. and the ability now is in the, on the, on the stake. and also they have to prove to the proxy part goods that the live in the parking lot. and they can hit the back and also the events from the sticks events from this effect. so of course is what it is. i'm nervous because one of the possible and that is, is that it, it onto the nation could go to has bullets its proxy possibility and also has blackwood, for example, strike motor. what more rockets deep inside is that i am, and this is why we see this southern despite is today, it is to, to come to this is an interesting use the web nervous. because to me it sounds like this is what they were asking for. the is right, is because by talking the radian embassy, they would have known that they are crossing around the red line,

of course and again, timing methods. why? because an instinctive does a motor less because the intensity of the minute to finish. and so it goes on whitening down. i mean, these are those not like what are the same number of troops to continue the war and gaza after a conflict at all this, the large destruction on the, on the step. so now they're able to shift resources to the north and they want to find a permanent solution to the north. and what does what these are, which has about low, with liberal? so for them, no, it's the time to push. they feel that they feel they have the leverage. they have the resources enough resources to come to it has beloved. and also it seems to me also that some us agree like from the us or some back in from the us. because it, it has received the major shipment, the flip, inspect, it could weapons from the us couple of days ago. so it seems to me nowadays, right as autumn ship things that, that focus on the, the noise to push out the press has but low into either a political supplement or head todd because below open

a new front and it's like one of those books, literally the unsafe the we don't know how would this come on the bonus now in iran, this court isn't it? and, and that's question we, we don't know to what extent they aren't going to react to me. you said they were, they were embarrassed. the human liaison, how humiliation whether it's yeah, i mean i, again attacking and embassy. so button like you know into, to you that the present that isn't a problem like it. um it's a, it's a measure of intelligence street level data onions as well. so they don't have to to, to need it, but they don't use this product lee, they have to test the patient. but this time, i mean, given the scale of the event, they could the force more or less to do something quickly to save the reputation. and logically, i mean has, well, as the you have what are the an open the front in the notes? i mean, so this would be one part of the solution. what do you have to type it any way of in the world? i mean, seems like, is it a good with them to see that? and that's probably because that, that these are the image to someone else. yep. the whole thing is under the seat in

iran has its arms, has it submitted to the partners invasion. so i think it's an open within this, in this, in the institution of office and that is, everything is possible. you know, as a nation says it's suspending a movement nice and goes up because of security concerns. that decision comes 2 days off the israel kill $78.00 workers. now does their investigation is found that they were intentionally targeted? is really ministry launched 3 consecutive stripes against the well central kitchen work is despite being told if the whereabouts repose also suggests that is really ministry officers and soldiers in gauze. a routinely act on their own violation regulations. one is right, a newspaper has quoted as rarely ami sources as saying in gaza. everyone does as he pleases 6 of the victims with 4 nationals. one was palestinian. all defends and is alex good. populace has more on what the al jazeera investigation on coverage.

and how does your investigation has found that these really military, intentionally targeted the wealth, central kitchen comm boy in 3 consecutive s strikes despite being called a tragic accident by his? well, here's what the evidence shows to wealth. central kitchen says it's 3 vehicles left the warehouse here in the or above sometime around 10 30 pm local time. on monday, april 1st come boy travel. just for kilo me it says make it to rashid street along the coast. witnesses say the 1st vehicle was hit by missile the just before 10 45 pm. the injured was seen being transferred from the 1st call to the 2nd on the vehicle. second call made it 800 meters self from the 1st attack. when it too was boned killing everyone inside photos from the same clearly show it was hit straight through the roof by project all from above. the 3rd vehicle into comb, ford made for the 1600 meters turning off the main road in an attempt to avoid

destruction before it was hit by 3rd and final strikes. also through its roof the. the colors were clearly marked on the international. a group had told these really military of its teams whereabouts, giving them the coordinates, questions remain as to why these really military talking to this aid called boy, it's definitely a brutal but whether it's brutal as a matter of high level policy to discourage other aid n g o's from a risking a repetition of this kind of disaster, or whether it was something that went somewhat wrong in its execution and authorization in an area deprived of fuel and petrol. there wouldn't be little traffic, mostly

a trucks. and these really military vehicles in the area, the aide cause we're moving into 3 vehicle come boy, clearly marked from above. the missiles hughes were of a type to maximize destruction in a very small space, primarily used for targeted operations in urban areas. chris cope smith is an experienced weapons expert who has worked in garza and the seen similar weapons used. i went and talked with some n g, a humanitarian and just looking at potential well, crimes looking at potentially human rights violations and backs. and this as well. touching say, years ago, it began to child spot. there was a weapon system being used for our inside talk talk to assess the nations, but to target very specific individuals, groups of buildings and then particular cause. and this weapon system produces just

the sort of effect by saying all these um, boy stayed on these vehicles. among the dead was 3 security consultants hood by wealth central kitchen, whose job would have been to liaise with these really military on the whereabouts. the fact that the company was hit several times, each strike some distance in time apart, suggest that this act was intentional and that the company was deliberately destroyed. alex gets helpless out to 0. often monday's attack, wells, central kitchen suspended, and celebrations in gaza, displays palestinians say they fit attacks like these lead to the food shortages. let's take a look at all the aid agencies who face some of the challenges. the american nit east refugee 8 agency says it stopped operations in gaza altogether. a group had provided an average of a 150000 meals a day in partnership with the wealth central kitchen. in february,

the un agencies of palestinian refugees suspended it's 8 operations to northern gaza. this came off to what it called a collapse of civil order and prevention of safe passage for its trucks. and other organizations like the international medical coal, which has one of the largest field hospitals. and rafa is also rethinking it's humanitarian work. in garza, i need my mood has moved from rafa and southern gaza. this is the latest we've heard from the organization that are intending to suspend operations across the southern part of the gauze. us tribune. and the central area and the international medical of the crops is better known among palestinians and the southern part of the gusts with as the american field hospital. and it has, it may be, was setup about a 2 months ago. and it has been providing services for at least 400 patients on daily basis of various medical supports and run and services that have definitely

shown a significant at ease in, in, in the intervention and medical intervention provided for people and less than the pressure on the 2 hospitals across the rough city and mainly the kuwaiti hospital. that's a small size video facility and then the job hospital. it's a mid sized health facility, but already over whelmed and exhausted in terms of medical staff and sufficient medical, the staff as well as the shortage of medical supplies and the fact that the hospital, both of them have turned into more of an evacuation center with hundreds of, of displays, families is shouldering inside the facilities that outside of so the international medical across the board then uh hell if and field hospital in the ground providing services and also providing support for other hospitals across the southern part of the search joyce. oh, judy is general secretary of the american friends service committee. she says the

is there any medicine he is deliberately targeting a work is inside gaza. we've been in god, so since 1949 we were there to set up the 1st refugee camps after the napa and our staff are actually telling us that they feel that they are still alive by chance. and that is what they're telling us so. so we are, you know, i think about the decision of the world center kitchen and other agencies under the system to suspend their operations. and i can just imagine how difficult piece decisions were made because, you know, our mandate as humanitarian organizations is to say lives. but how can we continue to do that, while our own staff or the 80 workers are we're putting them in jeopardy, and we certainly don't want to do that. there is nothing we can do to keep our staff safe. and, and so we, we know that, and so it is your, you know,

has been violating international law every year, every day, every hour in, by the minute. and we know that, you know, this has been intentional when our step tell us they are still alive by chance. they know that they are a target as well. and it is, there has been not only, you know, they've been delaying the trucks, they're closing land crossings. they're attacking slower and food. just distribution is making the case for the funding on or why, you know, not allowing for a workers in and now for those who manage to enter the bottom them. so the number of humanitarian workers that have been killed and got up to date a un uh 8, especially from from wonder why exceeds other conflicts. we've never seen anything like that for you as president joe biden has said that he was outraged and heart broken by the kennings, an american official say. the administration has repeatedly told israel it has to

do more to protect all civilians in gaza. audrey castro has moved from the state department, so us state department continues to voice outrage over those really military's killing of the 7 aid workers from world central kitchen. state department spokesman, matt miller says, the strike never should have happened regardless of the circumstances surrounding what israel has called, a case of mistaken identity. it doesn't really matter how they made the mistake. at the end of the day, you have 7 dead aid workers who are there trying to deliver humanitarian assistance . so whatever the reason was that led to this tragedy, whatever the mistakes that happened inside the idea, it's not acceptable and they need to do better. and they need to put measures in place to ensure that it doesn't happen again. miller said the us is waiting for israel's full investigation and to the incident to conclude before passing judgment . he would not acknowledge that previous is really investigations into the killings

of 8 workers and journalists has yielded no significant repercussions. miller said israel's offer to establish a situation grands to better coordinate the movements of 8 workers. is much needed and long overdue world. central kitchens, 7 workers were leaving of food warehouse in gaza when their care of them was attacked by this really military. despite having coordinated movements and travelling in vehicles that were clearly marked with the angles logo. heidi jo castro, alger 0, the us state department. the desk, the 3 versus a work is in the israeli strikes and wells central kitchen work has, has provoked ne universe from condemnation in the united kingdom, british government has cooled for full investigation on some politicians say the u . k. should suspend on sales to israel. sonya game has moved from london to shock and i'm the against the latest wave of his ready attacks and gaza. this

time on the streets of london, medics and solidarity with palestinians located the headquarters of highlands. here, the software company supplying technology to israel, submit a treat cooling for an immediate end to its activities that or the killing of humanitarian aid was received international condemnation as well as allies, including the u. k demanded offices, the situation is increasingly intolerable. and what we urgently need to say is a star transpired investigation into what has happened, but also a dramatic increase in the amount of age getting into goals of the work is killed. james henderson, who'd set the 6 years and the royal marines, a john chaplin a full, a member of the porch of special forces. and um, a veteran pul cubby,

who was 47 years old. all were providing security support for these cousins described to him. that's completely selfless and you just want to help people, you knew if he didn't go in and someone else ago and that would probably play on his mind. so james was one of those people that would just sit back up to more than 5 months of conflict. public opinion on the soaring casualties, printing pressure on politicians to act. opinion polls have consistently shown that more people are in favor of a ceasefire. the not and the killing of age work has been in is really a strike is now printing outrage. even in traditionally right wing papers of the british press. someone seeing this moment as a tipping point in the you case, previous the rock solid support for israel. the u. k. government has called israel to follow international law. it continues to maintain what prime minister soon that

calls a very castle licensing arrangement, human rights group say that has to end with the cooling on the government for months to be suspending all the players licenses as part of our international coal for a full scale on and ball going all sides to the, to the current conflict. as the bodies of the victims are repatriated, the shadow of this strike weighs heavily on organizations working to help region devastated by this conflict. so nearby ego, i'll just sarah london. the rescue, as in taiwan putting as quaid victims from the rubble of the homes, the strongest quake to hit the awning and 25 years, topple buildings, killing at least 9 people and injuring more than a 1000 the underwater magnitude. 7.2 quake struck out around the atm. it would have

felt in southern japan, eastern china. and the philippines. patrick folk has moved from taipei, taiwan worked up to the strongest of great there and 25 years. the magnitude 7.2 quite struck off the east coast, off the shots of rotten communities across the south, full diamonds, causing power caps and some buildings to collapse. text messages moved onto the coastal areas of the sonoma threats. so human cause it was very strong, it's felt as if the house was getting to topple. to yell 10 behind. it was shaken very violently. all the motorcycles outside our house 2 pulled over, so i quickly switched off the gas and the electrical switches. the when i realized it was an earthquake, i quickly put on my clothes and shoes that i dropped the kid with me and run down the stairs. officials in the capital typeface that it was the strongest task quick, the hit taiwan, and optional items since 1999. when

a 7.6 magnitude quake the worst natural disaster in the islands history goes with estimates of the 2400 people. more than a 100 off the shops recorded since that initial quake struck here this morning inside one and authorities. one that says the tram is, could still come from a if you cut the audio each, we have already seen reports of houses tilting roads damaged and many vehicles hit by falling rocks in the why the in area in the taipei area, the metro and high speed trains was that i would like to request the relevant departments to grasp the golden time for rescue actively carry out a search and rescue work for the people will take the best care of injured people and take emergency resettlement measures. japan and the philippines roles. so on, so now me a lot depends national broadcast, a wanting us to evacuate that homes. okay, now was main airport temporarily suspended all flights,

but does not mean warnings of students being lifted. the region is no stranger to highly destructive seismic events. in 2011 japan subjects biggest task wake on record. a mess of mind point to magnitude. undersea jones triggered a synonymy that left around 18500 people dead or missing. it also cause to focus human nuclear power plant as, as to the most a serious accident since june of at a $7.00 magnitude us quite community is davis. yes. hit japan's notes or peninsula coming. move in to 130 people. patrick talk houses 0 type. the ukraine's president has signed a new lowering the age of conscription from 27 to 25. as he aims to reinforce the fight against russia. elizabeth zalinski says they need another hall for 1000000

recruits to hold off russian on the advances. ukraine has struggle to base truth numbers for the conflict now and it's 3rd year. with americans ation comes as nato foreign ministers, nice in brussels, to discuss long term support for ukraine, considering a $107000000000.00 funding plan, which would roll out over 5 years. they say 60 general says they plan to step up assistance to the credit is unlocked, running out of curbs, they're running out of a nation. we need to step up. now unsure of support is built to last. so in our meeting today, we discussed how to put our support on the firm or a more enduring basis for the future will allow us to agree on the need to support ukraine in this critical moment. there's a unity or purpose. today,

allies have agreed to move forward with planning for a great today to roll in coordinating security systems. training. the details will take shape and the weeks to call but make no mistake. ukraine can rely on it to support now on for a long whole. charles traffic has moved from keith of the night i plan being discussed involves potentially taking a great to a coordination role away from a group known as the ukraine defense concept group. now this was established in the immediate off to most of russia's full scale invasion of ukraine. in february 2022, it's made up of 56 different countries, including little searching to members and as being pivotal in supplying ukraine with the weapons that it says it means there is a growing failure among certain dates or members. but because of potential domestic

political pressures on various leaders in the coalition. but that kind of role needs now to be ruled on the move of a nato umbrella. and there were specific fish among certain dates, the members of, for example, the return of donald trump, the, to the white house in us selections next year. this is being described by psalm as a, a trump proof plan, because we know how uh, president trump has often criticized nato. and is a lot more isolationist, arguably than the current leadership in washington. the have been comments made by various foreign ministers on the back of today's meeting in brussels. hungry is 4 minutes. the 2nd hungry will not back any proposal. that major will be aligned closer to will or shift from a defensive to on offensive calculation. but all i mean is there's a lot more candid and a lot more blunt, indeed one diplomat on name, but quoted by the voices and use agency saying basically that nato just doesn't

have a budget for this. there isn't the money for this kind of plan to succeed. so that an example of the kind of functions that kind of different opinions inside nato and the kind of challenges that the, the lines faces in giving you crane long term support in the years ahead child strap. it all just arrow keys are still heads on al jazeera and national disaster is declared in some way because of droughts with millions of coal, some an applicant going hungry on why many in mexico are preventing the task from running dry by collecting rain the looking different spaces the power line of rain suddenly and the cloud from the

northwest to more or less up in queens into trustee confidence of australia. but as this is, this is the active and, and again it's queens and new south wales where it seems to be quite persistent. the orange top suggests a fairly heavy rain. this isn't on the show wind. so if you're in sydney, don't expect too much. in fact, the pace to get worse as we get towards friday. and the sheriff is production was tropical queens and now it's fine everywhere for the west. so if you 2 degrees in a sunny past, but sydney not so good. you go to on the show, but use so pretty cold really. i know it says 27 based on for i feel like god and then things slowly improve with the sun breaking through come sunday. now new scene in the picture is a credit card one. again, by the time we get to friday, attempt just the middle teens, general appraisal safe, pretty active weather is still in process. se ation, i think, give eastern and an easy. it was a circulation was just a pretty big house. and body east was for some process sumatra,

and bonia and maybe this something the philippines. and i'm usually may be significant raising sleep assisting in the southern part of china, including occasionally, hong com. the now was the time to be direct. israel's project has been to completely conflict zionism and judy as a. but this was not a jew, israel's a state, and they need to be treated as any other state. what. this is where the tough questions are, as can you see negotiations being even half. this is most important, which of these are going to in bushy hold, unapologetic, i'm just asking upfront on, out to their families and gaza facing unimaginable hardships during times of crisis. solidarity is a strong this defense against injustice. and we've been in gaza since 1991 doing

life saving look. your generosity can provide value to support to those west effected because he met dulcie stella, your mercy, showing this brightest, gave mercy, now donate. today. the, the, [000:00:00;00] the, you're watching out is there a mind told the story, is this, our, israel's ministry is recalling at defense for service to the basis local media report. the move is in anticipation of

a possible response from iran to days of israel attacked consulate in damascus. kidding, senior rainy and ministry officials. the notifications have to spend the movement of aid and golf at nights for at least 2 days. the decision comes off to $78.00 was, was killed. fine. is there a new stripe? wells central kitchen convoy was told to sit on monday. now, does their investigation is found that the a convoy was intentionally targeted? is there any minute she launched 3 consecutive s strikes against the well central kitchen workers despite being told of fan movements, caught those prime minister mohammed bin of the rough 9 o sony has been missing. the spanish prime minister pivot was sanchez here in the hall. he renew calls for an immediate cease fire in gaza, which is there is, were sole set. it was out the press conference. he sent us this update that there were a wide range of issues to be discussed between the spanish prime minister and the color,

the prime minister here in the house. but gaza has been the main issue that dominated the whole polls. so during the process of drawing pressure, i asked to cut that a prime minister about she's take regarding the is right, the officials accusations to cut out and egypt that they are not exhorting their influence over. how much in the ongoing negotiations, the regarding the release of the captives and also a possible ceasefire. who said that his come threes, probably him or the focus is to get the deal not to please any party at the is it mediator in this process not to faulty to the conflict. so with a, a thought is, is doing its best to facilitate to bridge the gap and to make sure to provide an innovative solutions in order to get to i did between the parties. but the

responsibility extra deal fairly light at the end. and the end of the fault, these we are not the ones who are controlling the fact that all of these negotiations, yet we are trying our best to ensure that this new association stay on the right course. as it pops is randall officials including the prime minister, but yeah, i mean nothing. yeah. we'll see you in the they are committed to the plan for if it's a kale, envision, or rough. i got a greeting concerns that these could lead the fluid there. i mean, it's heavy and cries, so i asked about the potentially publication or for the invasion of rafa regarding ongoing negotiations. this is what the prime minister of cuts. i have to say. we don't see any country, but is there a is supporting of that? so i can offer, you cannot, uh coordinate a, uh, the pizza on 50 percent of the population off of us in almost 10 percent of the of the split up and go there and attacking them. it's,

it's won't happen without committing image of genocide beside the genocides. that's been committed. edlio and was, i don't think this is something would be acceptable for anyone. the spanish prime minister said too many lives were lost. and now what's the time to stop these war? and he has made a cool on this riley prime minister then. yeah, i mean that then, yeah, she said that the resolutions of the united nations security council are binding. and now it is time that prime minister been yeah, i mean the thing yeah. will stops these war um the spanish prime minister also has a retreat of his company's position regarding political commission, or if they've had a scene in states, he said that his company is ready to recognize a unified palestinian state in july. this was added that up to 0. the o israel's plan to band for news networks including algebra has been shortly

criticized by governments around the world of demonic edits. a james space spoke to the product, spanish prime minister during his visit to go there. sanchez told us that freedom of the press is crucial for democratic government. the more jealous of died in garza than anywhere else in the world. now, problem this and this and you know whose government is binding out as a result for patients in israel. is this quite literally a case of israel shooting the messenger who will offer free press is on the hallmark of any uh, i would say self respecting uh, a democratic government and the from my side on from the spanish type. what we do is to uh, to support uh, the uh, the, the work uh, made by the majority of these across the world. and especially in gus that in these very difficult circumstances. so many leaders, including yourself, were warned about the danger opposite of this war. spreading in that context,

israel's recent attack on me writing in diplomatic building in the syrian capital, damascus. do you think killed top officials of the codes force? do you think that was acceptable or reckless active publications? acceptable? it's not acceptable. it needs to be clarified by israeli government, and of course these and goes into direction that you mentioned before, which is we need to avoid an escalation of the conflict in the region and from a spain we have deployed many years ago, one of our largest, the you emissions on the ground, which is in leaving on the, on the, of course we are trying to, to guarantee the peaceful coexistence between the leaving these people on the east where the people in that's a very difficult border between the, these 2 countries. and, and we are very concerned about the situation and that is why we ask,

and we commend the sway to government to try to avoid these. these said these regional escalation, that we are witnessing for instance, with these an attack and in series. and you can watch that full interview with spanish prime minister petro sanchez on thursday, april 4th, at 1430 gmc on talk to out to sarah you as president joe biden has been highlighting his administration's efforts to low a health care costs. items inflation reduction act placed a $2000.00 cap on medicare prescription drugs. it also attempts to crack down what it cools. falsely claimed payton's to try and increase competition and low a health care costs. a white house correspondent kimmie hocus census this update. at the white house us president joe biden is doing a bit of a victory lap over legislation. was passed back in 2022,

but that he feels many americans are still not giving him credit for. that's why he was with his senior senator from vermont, bernie sanders to talk about that legislation. the cap, the cost of many prescription drugs for americans who run a government health care program don't as medicare for years. people have talked about how medicare has the power to negotiate for lower drug pressure, the prescription drug prices. the government pays for just like to be a does one that you are able to negotiate medicines and, and needs for the veterans. we tried and tried and tried, and finally, with bernie's health. i finally got my inflation reduction act, which i've passed. bernie helped get past one republican in the entire congress. this is the surprise may i have to admit you? not one single republican voted for not one single want to give

a safari to take on and be big pharma. now, one of the big reasons that president is promoting this particular package has a lot to do with his poll numbers and then election year. he is tied or lagging behind his rival, former president, donald trump. most americans are blaming the president for high inflation on t goods, like food costs and heating bills, and are not giving the president credit for lower prescription costs. that's why he enlisted bernie sanders help to promote his health care passage. kimberly help it al jazeera, the white house, as well in that press conference president job. i didn't use the cost of various inhalers as an example. so i seen one on name company. he said the price of an inhaler. it can cost as much as $645.00 in the united states. the exact same

products in the united kingdom. the costs are $49.00. the lawn gemini, he says inhalers that can cost as little as $9.00 as big. now depaula evolving. she ra, he joins us from washington, dcs, president of the global policy institute, independent, think tank. can i stop by austin? use the why all the price of drugs in america so high? well, it's called free market. unfortunately, the bread, there is no mechanism for the united states government and either the federal level or other level is 247 in normal circumstances, the price of anything, whether it's a prescription drug medications or, or box, you know, that's a, that's the way america is. organized, but what about that? i do apologize for interrupting. i mean, how, how is it that the drug companies justify sending the exact same item in different countries at such different price points as well?

i suppose because in other countries, those prices are, those commodities are, are regulated in here and they are not. now, it, obviously, it something couldn't be done in the united states to regulate, to as a, something has been done as your reporting indicates, in that, you know, an inflation reduction actor that by just trying to remind voters i did this, i didn't do that. but like i'm comfortable making price caps or, or rather disbursement caps for seniors on medicare, which is the federally administered program. so for health people over $65.00 in the united states of america, it's our federal program that they will not spend above $22000.00 out of pocket on an annual basis. this required legislation. it's not something that can be done administratively run by, you know, the department of health and human services. and it did pay $2.00 companies out there prices. and did the,

i promised critical lobby into how did states is extraordinarily powerful. they've got hundreds of people working here for them in washington. it and loving legislators, both in the house and the senate to you know, to see that their interests are preserved. their argument, which is a probably, you know, a small screen. the large measure is it takes billions of dollars for us to invest in the development of new tests that drugs, many very often these tests to go bad. meaning we've got to start all over again and it's a billions of dollars to go up in smoke. if we do not have the revenue to fund this, there will be no new discoveries and people will die or cancer or this. and that because there will be no new drugs. there was a dresser. they have called a that's their argument. they don't publicly position. right? you mentioned the installation reduction act. uh, that was announced by by didn't

a pos by biden's administration back in 2022. what was it that he has to remind people about what has been passed through all the effects of that not being felt yet the probably the people don't quite understand what's going on. exactly. you know, we already know very, very unusual political environment tend to united states. we have this re match which nobody a few years ago when i predicted between biden and trunk trunk, but who has a multiple felony charges. and yet, p as i have, as many opinion calls, particularly in the swim states that will eventually most likely determine the winner who got to be in the white house come in after 20, after the elections now in november. so things are really, really difficult for by then the inflation is down, the economy is doing quite well compared to any other major industrial country in

the world. unemployment is actually started close and he gets essentially no credit at all. people think the economies back that the, that the country's going in the wrong direction, that things are too expensive and whose fault by that because he's the man in the white house. so he's desperately trying to rally support as this meeting with bernie sanders, who is the chair of the most important decided committee on these matters on health education labor impressions, you know, really accurate enough. oh, and bernie sanders as being a champion for lowering at the drive, the costs or drugs and attacking the the price, gouging of pharmaceutical companies for decades. and just briefly, to what extent is house cat, a key issue to vs in this selection? is this going to help bite in and it will help some, to be honest with you right now, it's quite difficult to understand what americans are really worried about. most of

the new policy would say the border, which means the southern border between the us and mexico, which quite frankly, completely bizarre. the situation and the government gave the impression on not being able to manage. why do you use this? a constant screening of people who allegedly don't want to come up for asking for political asylum in the united states by the reality. our economic immigrants, by the way, the states needs emigrants and the economy benefits emigrants. but the impression is that there is caps. mr. trump says that, you know, in his up very delicate language, that these are the berman and people who pollute the, you know, the purity of american blood and niceties of this time. and so this is where we are in the terms of the political debate will disappoint on prescription product medications on reducing the price of insulated product, a part for diabetes,

and other things that were accomplished for there are in the works to reduce the cost of inhalers. for us, my or other part then medications, but millions of people depend upon well, this register, i guess we shall see the next few weeks of the call numbers for mr. biden. change right now. you know, he tries to get the whatever credit or anything that he's done that he can using he's allies, my sen, bernie sanders. okay. you know as much. yeah. okay. i appreciate your time. paula valenze here to joining us now from washington, dc. president of the global policy institute center are now storms have ripped through several us states, leaving many homes and businesses without power. drivers in ohio are felt the full force of the winds and heavy rain. a clean up is on the way in kentucky. in oklahoma with 46 year old, homeless woman died, all sheltering in

tubing thing mean is when they may need enough clean water for his small family to cover all their needs. then he does is among a growing number of mexico city residents resorting to rain harvesting as a way to mitigate the cities water crisis in the system installed by an n g o called is loaded by next works by collecting rainfall from roof, sending it through filters. and into storage for all kinds of personal use. organizations that promote rain water collection say can transform communities such as this one by bringing otherwise wasted water to some of the people that need it most. but for it really have a wide impact, it needs political will, and large scale investment. despite a sharp decrease in rainfall due to climate change, mexico city still gets more precipitation than cities like london, but with no organic way for the water to filter into the underground aquifers that supply much of the city's water. most of it is lost. this,

along with aging infrastructure and explaining shall, population growth has led to a serious water shortage in the mexican capital. enter architect load at that gastro. we're looking at how water enters from the street carrying all the run off . she designed this part in the area of the city most prone to flooding. we're rainwater is redirected from the street to natural filtering systems that replenish the aquifers. and that i know that, that is a big believer in public spaces becoming natural water rest of wars. so we live in this paradox of star city of drinking water and excess of rain water. and what we're trying to do with this type of projects is to have a way of keeping that rain water into the city and manage it through smaller landscape infrastructure. old projects, slow brain harvesting, may not be the 60 solution to mexico's water problems. experts agree, it is

a promising start worth investing in value. i know i'll just euro mexico city flash floods in ecuador, it's capital, have killed at least one pass and many streets in crete, so was blocked by debris on a dozen children trumped. and in this very well fried by police, similar flash floods 2 years ago, still 28 states of emergencies been declared in zimbabwe. g check stream, drought, climate change and the nina weather phenomenon happened blamed for the failure of new reigns. millions have threatened with hunger and a force to rely on food aid. hermitage the reports from her right. you can see how dry the soil is crops of the sea and they are struggling in many parts of the country. the maze crop is a right tool. the bobbies government says, and he's more than $2000000000.00 in

and in the coming months from now, when things are expected to get with that 80 go, there is hung up. we usually get most of our mays from rural areas, but they also have nothing is just tongue to this. drought is also affecting other countries in southern africa, zambia and malawi have also declared a state of disaster and south africa is being reported may need to import grain if this drought persists and millions across the region have been told to extend to police shortages and price increases hardwood tossed out of their head at a and so hes on out is there a crack down in the philippines on a legal, online casino suite. folks, workers who say they were kidnapped and tortured and says, scanning customers,
