all of this is very confusing. it takes a week for the senate to type some shoes. we probably need some temporary spending bill to get through this. speaker johnson said in the past he will not do that. here's what he said today. >> i am not ruling out anything or committing to anything other than getting these appropriations done. i think we can. we are pushing everybody hard. >> house conservatives are pushing back and putting his job on the line. they say if you accept a temporary spending bill, we may try to oust you. we want a shutdown. >> where are you on whether a short-term plan is something you could stomach or if good rather risque shutdown? >> shutdown is something you have to be really -- willing to risk. we have talked about the border. not just his new calendar year. it is still not being addressed.

>> what we should take away from this is conservatives are digging in toward a shutdown. they think there are advantages to it. they have the ability to potentially forest speaker johnson into that position. >> there was more news today on the hill. a surprise appearance by hunter biden about a hearing on holding him in contempt. >> he has refused to give in an interview behind closed doors. he said he will speak publicly to the committee investigating him and his family ties. he showed up with a hearing today that was moving forward on contempt charges. he did not speak. he would like to do that. this is what the disagreement is about. he was trying to say i am willing to talk. house republicans say we need to speak to you for longer and at more depth that a public hearing. this was essentially a big piece of drama over something ongoing. i think house republicans will keep moving forward. this just adds to the drama and confusion. >> a busy day.

situation where major sea route is being cut off by terrorists. we therefore must act. >> since mid-november, houthi rebels have targeted and sees international vessels and kidnapped foreign sailors. they have said they target ships linked to israel. but today a spokesman said the target was an american warship, retribution for the u.s. navy last month sinking houthi boats and killington fighters -- killing 10 fighters. >> we will not hesitate to deal appropriately with all hospital threats within the legitimate right to defend our country, people, and nation. >> some 15% of world shipping goes through the suez canal promotes links the red sea with the mediterranean. houthi attacks of upended international commerce, forcing shippers to reroute vessels and

increasing shipping costs. last month, the u.s. launched a multinational coalition to protect commercial shipping. last week, the u.s. and 13 other countries issued what an official called a final warning. they will bear the responsibility and consequences should they continue to threaten lives, the global economy, and the free flow of commerce. so far, the u.s. is not followed through with that threat. >> the best solution to this situation not escalating is for the houthis to stop these attacks. >> they are group backed by iran that in 2014 seized the capital of yemen. they have fought saudi arabia in a brutal war. for 20 months, there has been a shaky cease-fire. houthi missiles are based on iranian technology. iran is coordinating the current attacks and helping provide targets. >> the draft resolution is

adopted. >> the un security council passed a resolution demanding that they cease these attacks and release the hostages. >> we will not stand by and allow the houthis to threaten civilian vessels and hold global food and energy supplies hostage. >> what is motivating them to launch these tax? what should the u.s. to? -- do? we turn the director of a middle east security council. thank you so much. what are they gaining by launching these attacks? >> thank you so much for having me. i think the houthis have very little to lose by launching these attacks. they do not have access to yemen's energy resources. they are trying to negotiate a final resolution in terms of the long-running conflict with saudi arabia.

this provides the greater leverage in those negotiations. i think they see this as a realistic policy option to try to better their position for the long run. >> do they also risked something by continuing these attacks, especially after they came out today and said explicitly that the target was a u.s. navy ship? certainly they could. the u.s. has put together a new coalition for the red sea. multiple countries have joined. not some of the golf countries like saudi arabia. they have long been in conflict. it is possible that the u.s. will respond. we saw some discussion today in reference to allies considering that. the houthis have been having a war for years now. i am skeptical that a response, especially a one-time response, is going to deter them if they think it will better their

situation in the >> >> months to come. the u.s. last week gave what they called a final warning. you heard earlier today john kirby from the national security council sending the message that they still hope the houthis stop these attacks. using the u.s. should launch a military strike? >> i think a military strike will likely be necessary at this point to try to restore deterrence. i don't think a military strike is likely to stop the houthis from continuing their attacks. not having that deterrence signals to other actors in the region that they may have a level of freedom to attack. or that hezbollah might be able to push the boundaries in lebanon and israel.

the u.s. has said very clearly it is their goal to avoided international conflict. and bringing out about the end of the conflict. >> the other argument i hear is a military strike would open up another front. the weapons are capabilities they have would quickly be refilled by iran. what is your response to that? >> it is probably true. it assumes that another front has not already opened. we have seen these attacks sense the 19th of november. we are seeing 50% of all maritime commerce going through the red sea. we are starting to see huge amounts go allow -- around that.

i think we are on the precipice of being there already. this is clearly been a strategy that has not worked. this increases the chance that we are in a regional conflict. >> could saudi arabia actually wants the u.s. to launch this military strike to degrade houthi capabilities. >> i think they are certainly supportive of military strikes if the u.s. is successful in that. and having some level of deterrence. if the u.s. says we will do a strike but not keep the pressure on, i think the saudi's will be pretty annoyed. and think that it didn't do

much. because he did not stay involved in the conflict. >> the national security council spokeswoman declassified intelligence saying that iran is deeply involved in planning the operations against commercial vessels. and was providing tactical intelligence on that vessel. how does that work? >> there's a long history of iran providing help to partners throughout the region. that includes the houthis. they may have identified targets that they passed on. to validate them and say this makes sense. there are a variety of ways that can work.

they are helping them take the strikes successfully. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> it is clear that the fallout from the war is far-reaching and the damage from the conflict will be felt for years to come. attacks that left thousands dead and caused immense physical destruction. it is also left an indelible mark on the region. especially the children. we have the story of a program try to address that problem. >> they train postgraduate students to care for traumatized children. this in an area with seemingly endless conflict. the trainees are a mix of israel's citizens. all learning together.

i spoke to a couple of them. thank you so much for joining us. it is impossible to encapsulate all this. how are children living through this experience? >> they are damaged in multifaceted ways. their concentration is damaged. their ability to imagine is damaged. being able to enjoy play.

>> this time in the war we are counting a number of people who are dead or injured. i am very afraid. i think the palestinian people in gaza will be really suffering from that trauma. >> as the war grinds on, they have continued the program. both israeli and palestinian students have camped working in their communities, even though some have lost loved ones themselves.

there were trainees living in gaza. they had only sporadic contact. >> in the beginning, they were stepping into this. >> physical, immediate needs. >> our students are well trained. they have a different language when they talk to people. their language is different. >> the number of people who are exposed to trauma or experience immediate threats is so large. we do not have the ability to have meaningful, one-on-one therapy. mostly it is group intervention, parent guidance, some one-on-one

crisis intervention. it is not actual therapy. even those small interactions are meaningful because they are aimed at strengthening the child or adolescent. to support family and give them hope and understanding that there is a process and hopefully they will come out on the other side. you are not alone. we are trying to listen to you and do the best we can. the situation is like this. i don't know how they do it with communities. we hope that better days will come. and we will be able to offer therapy. >> most people talking about this war and the palestinian

conflict, they are talking about historical terms. very few talk in psychological terms. they are acting from the position of feeling threatened all of the time. that their existence is endangered. this is exactly what happens to an individual who is suffering from trauma. we will be able to help them. it is more difficult. >> they also believe they are bringing israeli and palestinian practitioners together to help traumatized communities start to heal. >> we believe that by strengthening the empathic ability to the other is our only hope to ever bridge something together.

the importance of being empathic is part of that process. i must say that it is almost physically painful to sit and realize how hard it is for the other. being worried and being ashamed and being angry. all of this merits feelings that we have to deal with as students and supervisors. right now the emphasis is on relating to the others. realizing we will share the same feeling. relating to the other is our future. >> our students have to cope

with resistance in their communities. they live on a very small piece of land. they live with a lot of boundaries. physical boundaries of meeting each other. and psychological boundaries. they really do not know each other as human beings. there is a lot of dehumanization . they are the enemy and i cannot talk to the other person. this is the feeling of the vast majority. in this case, we created a place in the last 20 years that there is no such a place where they equally go through the same program and meet each other. which helps them to process their own relationships. we need to create more places like this. >> thank you both so >> much for

their lifetime. for black men, it is one in six. we have often heard prostate cancer being described as slow-growing. help us understand where it is and how often it spreads. >> it really represents a spectrum of disease. there are certain types of prostate cancer that are slow rowing. -- growing. but there are other types that are more aggressive. these require surgery, radiation, therapy, or some combination. let's quickly remind people what the prostate is. >> it is a small organ about the size of a walnut. it is deep in the pelvis. it is a reproductive organ. it helps with men having

secretions that give nutrition to these firm and allow them to have children. later in life it can cause cancer. we are talking about developing prostate cancer in the organ. >> they say his cancer was detected early as part of a routine health screening. are there lessons in that? >> screening is absolutely critical. it really involves identifying problems such as cancer in an early stage and an early phase where it is not just treatable but highly curable. for prostate cancer we are really talking about a blood test. as well as an examination to feel it for lumps and bumps. an abnormality in either these could suggest cancer. >> how soon should screening begin and how often should be

done? >> for a patient at average risk, an average man in the u.s., we are looking between 45 and 50 years of age to have that initial blood test as well as initial examination. certain patients are at higher risk. african-americans, those with a first male relative with prostate cancer or genetic or hereditary mutations. they need to be screened at an earlier age. because they are to higher risk of developing the disease. >> is there a stigma around prostate cancer? that it leads to impotence or incontinence? >> unit breast cancer in women, it occurs at approximately the same rate as prostate cancer in men. women are excellent advocates for their health. you hear a lot about some

examinations and getting checked and getting screen. men's health problems create more of a stigma. if they feel fine, that might not be a problem. the reality is that diagnosing and showed -- checking these conditions early allows people to identify a point at which the side effects being talked about light impotence and incontinence can be mitigated or minimized. >> we hear women talk about about breast cancer. men, not so much about prostate cancer. is that a hurtle to more screening and detection? >> absolutely. it is nascent somatic cancer until you reach a late stage. once men start having symptoms, the wheels are starting to come off the wagon in the ability to treat and cure the disease. i really believe that high-profile cases like this

underscored the importance that anybody can get prostate cancer. those in your community or who have a higher profile. the importance is getting the word out and having those discussions. understanding that one in eight men developed this disease. >> >> >> thank you very much. thank you. ♪ >> the gruesome discovery of 215 bodies in unmarked graves behind a jail in jackson, mississippi, has left the community in disbelief. families are angry that their loved ones were buried in poppers graves. -- pauper's graves. this came after a mother filed a missing persons report last
