9:42 pm
way the government is being formed, we want national consensus government, a government which is acceptable and accepted by all palestinian political groups, through national dialogue between the different groups and that that is natural, because and and for us the main goal first before forming a government is how we structure a unified palestinian national leadership. muhammad mustafa replaces muhammad steyi who resigned less than three weeks ago, cighting the need for real change. experts, however, say there had been mounting pressure on abbas to reform the palestinian authority and initiate the establishment of a political framework capable of governing a future palestinian state to take charge of all palestinian territories after the israeli. genocidal war on gaza ends, first of all that there was a pressure on palestinian authority to make
9:43 pm
some changes and that's why they complied immediately and appointing muhammad mustafa to as the new prime minister, this is on the one hand, on the other hand, which is most importantly as well, what the palestinian wanted, the palestinian don't want another government to be the same, the problem here is with israel, are they and... the international community, are they able to really make the change and let this government to work or not? the new prime minister now would work to form a technocratic government of experts. abbas has also asked mustafa to create plans to reunite the administration of the west bank and gaza strip, reform the government and address internal corruption. a real political change, not a change in words only is what the people here desire. moreover, the upcoming government faces numerous challenges. namely rebuilding the gaza ship, turpedowing israeli plans to control the coastal enclave and

9:49 pm
tv world news, time now for the news review. stay tuned. the us president joe biden warning that freedom and democracy is under attack and that after former president donald trump suggested a blood bathh in the case of losing the fall election. biden was speaking at the great iron clap dinner, which was pack with journalists and politicians. he said trump's lies about a 2020 election, the plot to overturn it and to imprace the january 6 attack on the capital. have posed the greatest threat to america's democracy. president joe biden's campaign also stated that trump wants another january 6 to happen. on saturday republican nominee for us president donald trump said if he does not win the fall election, america will never have another election. if i get elected, now
9:50 pm
if i don't get elected, it's going to be a blood bath for the whole. that's going to be the least of it. it's going to be. a blood bath for the country, that'll be the least of it. if this election, if this election isn't one, i'm not sure that you'll ever have another election in this country. does that make sense? i don't think you're going to have another election in this country, if we don't win this election, i don't think you're going to have another election or certainly not an election that's meaningful, and we better get out of, we better. trump was addressing gathering of gop supporters in ohio, urging the people to vote for him in the november presidential election. he lashed out. his democratic rival and incomben president biden, saying that he has destroyed to america's economy, he said americans will not enjoy proper social security, medical and other welfare services with biden in office. campaigning is intensified in recent weeks with trump and biden attacking each other's record and character. okay, now let me invite
9:51 pm
a couple of academics from the us to get their insight on this, so joining me is daniel shaw, he is academic and commentator out of new york and said khan is also associate professor with wayne state university is joining us from detroit. daniel, what do you expect would happen in the election that? in terms of the results, would that capital hill thing be repeated again or something like it? right now every poll indicates that uh there's no confidence in joe biden uh, about 84% of the populist thinks that he is indeed uh senile. um, lot of people don't necessarily trust trump, they're just so disgusted uh with the democrats uh with the corruption, so another slogan that i heard uh from about where said is, um, i'm in new york city, but having just returned from the midwest, many people are saying, well, throw away this clown, but don't throw away the burgers, in other words, throw away trump, but trump's base uh, which
9:52 pm
is indeed backward, extremely anti-immigrant, extremely uh pro- war in in many cases, um, but they're angry, and they know that they can't trust the swamp and they can't trust washington dc, so how do we work with uh... uh uh these workers who are uh disgruntled, they've suffered through the opioid epidemic. washington has completely forgotten about them and how much of the industry in cleveland and in um flint in detroit and chicago has been abandoned how many working-class families are suffering and they'll never vote for the democrats, they have zero um faith in the democrats, so here comes uh trump with his rhetoric and trump has really been able to... manipulate people into thinking that he's somehow on their side, he's a billionaire worth $4 billion dollars who could never relate to the common man in in in any way, and just to point out
9:53 pm
that there are other independent candidates, there's dr. cornel west, there's claudia dela cruz, there's jill stein, but the system is rigged, it's not a democracy, it's a dictator the dictatorship of the rich, and they make sure that none of those third party candidates actually viable. okay, so we get one minute, let me know what you uh predict. would come out of this election in six months time almost from now uh, i think it's right now far too uh early to and premature to predict what's going to happen, there's a there's a lot of moving parts here uh there is some uh notion that uh democrats uh who are currently disgruntled with biden uh who as as daniel said uh don't have much faith in him may come back uh to him uh because they see trump as an existential threat the... op as an existential threat, whereas biden being and the democrats being more of a strategic threat. some of this is going to play out regarding gaza, i think a lot of it is now going to play out regarding tiktok, if uh if
9:54 pm
biden signs a bill that then bans tiktok uh, he's going to lose an entire generation of people as was said before, and that's game over for the democrats, so right now it's really going to be vote by negativity uh, who does somebody want to see less in uh in office, and again, there's just simply too much time between now and november for things to happen uh where we're not able to predict that. okay, fair enough. all right, thank you so much for the insight. daniel shaw in new york, said khan in detroit. thank you for watching this episode of the news review. iran has come a long way to gain independence in the defense industry since the 1979
