11:48 am
attacks which israel uses to justify this genocide. um, but they're also a little bit untruthful because they're trying to establish that all of the people in the region see the united states as the best power broker for some sort of a peace deal. i think the majority of the populations of the countries in the region from turkey to jordan uh to to uh egypt uh to to uh iraq uh countries that are favorable to the united states. i think they're increasingly viewing the united states as not a candidate. uh to to exercise any sort of uh peace deal brokering because the united states is backing israel and providing the weapons and the military coordination and the funds for israel's genocide. italy's judicial authorities are considering the extradition of a palestinin man who was arrested without charges over a month ago on request of
11:49 am
israel. five weeks after his detention, the man is now being charged with alleged terrorist plans. israel's extra. request is now being examined by an italian court. reports from rome. ananyaesh is a 37-year-old palestinian citizen from tulkarm in the occupied west bank and a former member of the palestinian resistance movements. during the second palestinian intifada in 2006, anan who was just teenager, served four year sentence in israeli jails as a political prisoner. annan holds a valid italian. president permit for special protection since 2017. ananyesh was arrested without charged by the italian police on january 29 on an extradition request by the israeli regime which italy's justice ministry acquised stride away. weeks following anan's arrest on march 11, he's now being charged with terrorism accused of being
11:50 am
part of a terrorist cell that was allegedly planning attacks on israeli civilian and military. gets italian investigators have used elements provided by tel aviv to charge anan and two other palestinians of allegedly belonging to an operational military structure called the rapid response group, which they claim to be linked to the alaksa brigade. there are countries like italy that are totally subservient to the us and its allies. this results in our authorities absurdly arresting anan for being survil to israel, favor done to a... where the man was arrested in late january, the court is expected to rule on announced case soon. we have appealed to the court not to
11:51 am
extradite anan mainly on two grounds: firstly due to the systematic nature of torture other ill treatment of palestinians condicted or a waiting trial in israeli prisons and and yes would risk being tortured if extradited. secondly, while israel "the uk's national health service has been a source of pride for millions for more than 70 years, but the nhs is now facing serious challenges and a great deal of criticism, the
11:52 am
british medical association is war the healthcare system is collapsing, this report from london. britains treat their national health service, better known as the nhs with an almost religious reverence will grow up using the nhs from the..." to the grave for the point of use, and that has tremendous significance for our lives, but today, this eternal source of national pride is under increased scrutiny with new figures showing more than 120,000 people died last year in england alone from delays in lifesaving treatment. the nhs is a state-funded healthcare system founded in 1948, back then it cost around $20 billion in today's money to run. last year the government spent more than $181 billion. despite that, more than 7
11:53 am
million people are now on the waiting list in england alone. that's nearly 12% of the population having to wait at least 52 weeks for health consultation. our politicians aren't really serving the public interest, they are serving a neoliberal agenda which is to transfer the country's natural assets and wealth. to overseas corporations like united health of america and other big multinationals. the government has promised to cut the long cues, but has made little progress. the situation is no better in the rest of the kingdom. in scotland and northern ireland, one in 80 people, and in wales, one in 20 are having to wait more than year for treatment. there's also the energy costs and inflation that has reduced the value of the nhs budget. meaning it now has to do more with significantly less, add to the mix, a shortage of staff, which means more pressure on exhausted employees. we've had more than
11:54 am
decade of defunding since the financial crash, this has led to a real terms wage cut for staff, um, the whole population, the health needs have gone up, we have trouble keeping hold of staff, and we've also lost significant capacity with the nhs through privatization, so we don't have enough fed. "we don't have enough staff and the staff we do have are being treated appallingly. the health service is also coping with aging population. a large number of people now live with chronic conditions like heart disease and diabetes. the covid-19 pandemic severely tested the nhs with its aftermath still posing serious challenges. health officials and experts warn for the uk's national health service to survive, the next government should" their a national emergency. saipur is at press tv, london. well, that's a wrap for now, but stick around this playing war to come here on press tv. see you in a bit.
