[000:00:00;00] the, the, the us house of representatives approve the total of $95000000000.00 in aid to israel, taiwan, and ukraine. although most republicans oppose giving kia have more money, saying americans can't afford it. also a head on the program, the at least 20 civilians are alleged to have been killed by an idea of striking killer residential area in southern gas. coming just hours after the u. s. congress passed the $17000000000.00. a package for israel grimalda's

region is real and made reports that washington is preparing to sanction an idea of unit for the 1st time over human rights violations in the west. and the russian m. o. d confirms its troops sub secured. yes, another settlement in the done yes. republic flushing box, you printing and forces retreating from the with the tops to raise from the past 7 days as well as right up to the moment developments to welcome to the week. the recap on our t international the us house of representatives has approved spending over $60000000000.00 to keep the ukraine conflict going. notably, however, most republican congress members voted against the bill, which had been deadlocked on capitol hill in its previous interation for months. you may recall russia's foreign ministry spokesman slammed the motion,

saying it's on other possibilities will only feel more unnecessary violence around the world in the us allocation of motor a to ukraine. these drilling tie one will aggravate global crisis mailed to 8. so the key of regime is the direct sponsorship of terrorist activities. males for a to ty, one is the name to appearance in china's into and the list says those are a to israel is a direct pass to an unprecedented escalation in the region. so the us house of representatives, after months of gridlock, has finally passed the a deal to ukraine, $61000000000.00. now all amendments and there were some rather creative amendments that were proposed. all the amendments to the bill were rejected and the bill passed. now it's been passed with the intent to rebuild arsenals. there was $95000000000.00 in total that was given for $4.00 and $8.00 is they separated. the ukraine aid, the taiwan aid and the aid israel. mike johnson,

who became the republican speaker of the house of representatives, had pledged, unlike his predecessor that he would not bring this bill up. you would not bring it to about. but he changed his mind. and i guess on the terms that this was alone, he was okay to go along with it. not one democrats voted against the bill. and but the majority of republican congress members did. that's quite a divide when it came to grant. and there was a lot of outrage from, from republican members of congress. they felt that this was not in the united states interest now. leading the charge was marjorie taylor green, the representative of georgia. and she was seconded by many members of her party. rather intense speeches were given prior to the voting. you see the united states tax payer has already sent $113000000000.00 to ukraine. and a lot of that money is on, accounted for you. claim is not a member of nato, but the most important thing due here in washington dc,

is all we have to spend. americans harder and tax dollars over to you, a crane and keep the money going to continue to murder ukrainians. wipe out an entire generation of ukrainian men, 2 and a half years into this war. we still don't know what success looks like. is it cry me a, is it all of the don't boss is a hold what you got? we don't know. we just can't afford it. this new spending. $60000000000.00 is designated as emergency spending. mean it go, meaning it goes straight to our national debt. a national debt that grows every single 2nd to the tune of $8000000000.00 every single day. and by the way, while i was speaking, we have added another $5500000.00 to the national debt. now the previous speaker of the house kevin mccarthy was ousted when he made what man described as

a secret or back room deal to try and go forward with funding for ukraine. and now thomas massey and marjorie taylor green to outspoken republicans who opposed a due grand say they want the same thing to happen to mike johnson. they, they say he was replaced a, he replaced kevin mccarthy and was brought into office to oppose this kind of deal . he made this kind of deal and they want him, alistair, so we shall see what happens next. i'm concerned that the speakers kind of deal with the democrats of fun for mores rather than to secure a border. how did a bill that was intended for veterans that came out of the house become a bill that may bring us to the brink of war, at least 3 places on the globe by sending a 100000000000 dollars to military contractors. how do you creating officials reacted to the bill being passed? the ukrainian president has already responded in kind with great, thanks the personally bang speaker of the house, mike johnson for making the deal that he promised not to make. we add

a message from zelinski that might have online, but let's also recall a statement made by the ukranian president a few days prior to what i but that we suggest that this is not a secure leticia. then this is pure politics and to be honest, it is a shameful, the world is just a shameful democracy for everyone who owns it, talks about democracy. well, if congress takes and divides the site off to all that has happened into his rod and you credit in parts, that means this is an election issue in the united states. now 23200000000 of the a will be used to restock ukrainian weaponry. 11.3000000000 of the aid will be provided for the training of ukrainian troops by the united states. and $61000000000.00 in total has been allocated by the us congress to provide to ukraine to continue the conflict at this point. uh, there's a lot of anger on the republican side. there's

a lot of anger on the democratic side that took so long and it appears american politics is much more polarized than it has been in quite some time. the very big disagreements about u. s. foreign policy and how american taxpayer money ought to be spent or us corresponding. caleb martin speaking to me earlier know senate candidate for new york state. diana sar told r t that instead of using the cash for developing the u. s. washington prefers the spend it on global complex. i think there's probably more going ons and needs to be, i don't know if it's related to the lumen blow out of the trans atlantic financial system. i find it frankly embarrassing that the congress would spend so much time and effort, debating policies which are going to inflame the world, which don't help the united states and have consequences which i would find

horrific. i would not want on my conscience if i were a member of the elected body. so i'm not sure it probably has to do with election cycles and primaries and all kinds of factors that are not obvious. it's not going to change the situation. now you might ask, how could a $174000000000.00 affect the lives of the american people? could we not repair our railroads? uh, could we not do something about water management power management, there would, would have some real used, or if we wanted to do real reconstruction, that would raise the standard of living. but that's not the game when you fall into the mindset of m. fire. everything has to be looted it, say devolving spiraling collapse and where ultimately the, the empire economy begins to cannibalize itself. and i think that's really where we are. and it's, it's

a terrible tragedy because that's not the purpose of the united states. i don't think anything we've done with visa b. ukraine has been about ukraine. i mean, they've only suffered from this so weird spent sending money to american military contractors in order to for the torture, the nation and people of ukraine. i think americans perhaps aren't that aware of that, although many of them have a sense of it, it would be one thing. you know, i make the argument that we should spend money going to the moon. we don't spend the money on the moon, we spend it here, and it does boost our spin of technologies and the american workforce. this is like some kind of sick per version of that. because to die, i'm sorry. well, us congress members also approved $8000000000.00 to pro country china. a large part of that. some will go directly in military aid to tie one, which paging still considers its own territory. chinese officials last, always out of washington,

the head of the vote on capitol hill. the united states is good at using 8 as a bargaining chip and using care and stick to force developing countries to do what they say. which results in a serious lack of coherence and it's a policy and undermines the sustainable development of recipients countries. or we've got some reaction to the from canadian political level as alex reporter fee, who says beijing should consider that this sending weapons to some american island to give washington a taste of what it's doing with taiwan. once again, wake up america. i mean, the taxpayers of america must be furious today. i guess there's jubilation and celebration in the streets of israel in the streets of kiev, and well, also in china's province to tie one. now, if we look at this from, you know, a practical point. so why would america, who has uh, you know, is 12240, not a,

compiles paid from time one. i feel that it is necessary right here to come over with the representatives or the to aggravate. poke fun at the, you know, the chinese government and say, hey, well, we're at it. let's raise a $8000000000.00 of our us taxpayers, money to arm your island against yourself. it's, it's absolutely crazy. we have to, you know, hold the american government accountable. here wouldn't be americans accept chinese representatives to fly into i don't know, new york manhattan and meet with local government officials there and say, hey, you know, we're in the mood to bring a 1000000000 dollars. a chinese artillery in arms and put them on your island. eric as well. maybe we think washington is a threat to you. us congress also passed a $17000000000.00 aid package for israel. how much has been quick to strongly condemn the news coming and made the devastating war in dallas. just hours after the us,

i signed off on the bill. israel bomb the southern low scouts and city of foot off a killing at least $22.00 civilians. according to local officials or the 18 children are reportedly among those victims. the gas and health ministry seized the idea still more than 50 people just this weekend. the latest strikes, locked in several residential buildings on the desk to is expected to rise as a local sift through the rooms in search of the bodies. israel is gearing off for a full scale invasion of rough um, or some one and a half 1000000 palestinians are sheltering yourself. a relative of the latest at casualty victims. describe what happened ma'am. so now if they were sleep mode,

just women and children at that $133.00 people, locals in display, they would not given a probably warning to evacuate. there were 15 children, not militants, just little children, aged 5 to 10. while a 3rd straight day of classes has been seen in the west bank this sunday, it follows the killing of more than a dozen people in um, is really rate on the nation's refugee camp. yesterday. according to the policy and in red crescent, among the dead was a part of magic who a shot was trying to help the wounded. the idea reportedly use drones and armored vehicles to clear the account. there's what level of sad about the situation. this is the 1st time in our history that we've seen such destruction, such devastation, such criminality. we've never seen or heard of anything like this. i've only heard of gaza and this is the 2nd godsa. this has become gods. and number 2, it was triple destruction of homes and people. and we haven't had electricity, walton since the campus stormed. the electricity has been passed off. we have

children, they need to move, they need to eat. we have run out of the bread and milk. i read this on 5 of my children live in these house, and each of them has a floor. the army demolished them. old. i was visiting my son's house in and out of the area of the camp on thursday nights when these happened. and people told me it has been demolished and what we heard from palestine red, crescent society spokes person the ball far as it was, based in the west bank. she confirmed the death of a volunteer from the a group of the cues. the idea of denying part of maddox access to the besieged area is one o one, b, or c as and one and 2 years was the short. we'd like i munition what he was conducting is human interior metal inside the account. and we've got thousands of pools present as is safe people in addition to others were injured. and we ask for a couple of hours,

we were completely denied to reach them because of the complete his right need to see all the cam on an even is there any forces is top arrow detains a once over here, rough teams for more than half an hour before the leasing there on the, on the, on our with them to transport the wounded people since the beginning of the world. that one does the history and i have been systematically tracking the health care system. i'm sure there's some in, despite the fact that you minutes radians and health care workers should be respected at homes and projected 17 p r cs numbers. how big jewels since the beginning of the water and one box of dependents under the dress and continued to call on the international community to have an urgent action to put more pressure in order to have occurred within c fires that would allow save and to stay in the military and access to all areas of casa and what is going on for more

than 6 months. it is almost up to that we have senior civilians being taught and targeted. there is no aspect of life involves. uh we're talking about this significant destruction also begins homes where more than 70 percent of civilians, home in the i've been destroyed, most of the population i know internally displaced. they are living in tents or a school lacking doctors to pull water as when i am education to washington is preparing to sanction. um is really military unit for the 1st every time that's according to media reports, citing us state department officials who say action will be taken against the nets . yeah. who the battalion over human rights violations in the west bank? the still to be confirm mood has sparked and i try in israel sanctions must not be imposed on these or will defense forces at a time when our soldiers a fight in the monsters of tara,

the intention to impose sanctions on an idea of heat. it is the hides of absurdity and the moral lo, the government headed by me will act using all means against these modes. sanctions on our soldiers is a red line minister gallant and must immediately back in the j a who to. if not, we will take them in as great heroes. 2 years ago, washington began investigating the idea fatality and over its involvement in violence against palestinians. recent media reports say that a special state department panel recommended that the us should sanction is really military units that have been incredibly accused of human rights abuses. when asked about that earlier in the week, america's top diplomatic pledge to take action. so i think you're referring to the so called lay, he's a law and our work under that. so this is a very important law and it's one that we apply across the board. and when we're

doing these investigations, these inquiries is something that takes time that has to be done very carefully, both in collecting the facts and analyzing them. and that's exactly what we've done . and i think it's fair to say that you'll see results very soon. i made determinations, you can expect to see them in the days ahead. you know, the nets you who debt battalion operates in the west pike. it was formed as a special unit for ultra orthodox jewish soldiers. the us sanctions in question would deny that it was this really trip to access to american arms training and any other assistance that's not across to the it's really so they've hi fi and speak to auntie. we're active as aisle rosenberg. i will get to see you some would say that the and that's the you who the battalion should have had to answer for proposed the crimes that they were apparently committed long before this,

against palestinians. but again, we're seeing sanctions being employed to punish. do you think they will have the desired effect? because we're seeing a lot of as really, society seemingly come together officials at least i'm, it appears to be more of a us versus the world. not a lot of these sanctions are in, in a sense, laughable because it is the, the us that is supplying these rarely, military weapons and without the nation. and in giving it the diplomatic backings in the when the, the international court of justice to a great expense and the choice to somehow choose one battalion. as though as rarely, military battalions are independent and not their own militias do whatever they like is, is almost meaningless. and, and whether you and of, of course,

what the next session with the battalion is responsible is quite terrible in terms of people's lives and, and will be. but this is only part of the general military policy of israel. and none of them is, is acting against the commands of their officers. they are not on trial for violating any military policies. none of that is, is going on. so, so this very choice seems more like a public relations done. and there is really officials, this really is in general, i think i tend to say a lot of them at c appear to be outraged over this. so i can cut this half the inverse effect of doing what at the us is seeking to do with this section and punish the specific group. and then fucking bring more all of the grouping in line with the wider is really military not. and i doubt is that

the sanctions will have any concrete effect it's, it's more like um, money in the waters of the us as rarely relations. and there will be a lot of the talking in the media here and is real and may be among the us and is rarely officials. but i doubt this will. this will change how the next substitute job battalion conducts itself, how author battalions conducted themselves, how these rarely military acts adults. and we can remember the, the decision of the i c j in the south african takes just a few months ago. i'm clarifying that is real, must take all necessary action to avoid sticking mediterranean catastrophe into uphold the of the international law. and it's uh to the military activity in gaza and none of that is happening. there has been a lot of talk. there's been

a lot of consternation, a protest, maybe even some legal tweaking here and there, but we just started even in your program, how the bomb being continues and people continue to die. and unfortunately, at the end of the day that's, that's what matters the, the damage and destruction of the debt that is cost by, by this battalion and others. i think it's worth pointing out as well. i'll about the reported cigna tell you who the case actually pre dates, the war in gals as like, unit doesn't even operate there. what do you make of that focus instead of indeed as you're saying, what's being happening in the end tape since october 7. and it says, though, the us is, is distinguishing between a legitimate of mass killings and destruction, which is sort of coordinated between itself and is rarely authorities and

uh, what's considered illegitimate. but what mean you might consider a legitimate, which is mass destruction of civilian infrastructure. and infrastructure and the death of civilians is not what the us considered was. the legitimate with us consider was a legitimate is specific and not not mine. it was very significant, but specific limited activities which are outside of what it seems to have agreed upon with israel. is them acceptable at a given time? maybe this also has to do with this relations with the palestinian authority in the west, which is on better terms with the us. so things that the sense of westbank mind them and you're the us more and even though the damage of the data that this doubt is on a much lower scale, it also seems to be a way to say for the palestinians, look, we're balance. we're going to give b is release $17000000000.00 and $8.00 at to israel,

but luck we're going to go after one of their military units doesn't seem very vile in stuff. and of course, the da says and, and in palestine, this is very obvious because this is where us valley weapons and i mean, i'm tired of the american weapons and ammunition. this is used. but maybe it's, the intent is actually that a dad, this master's message presented to the us, the electorate with the election is coming up and divided as an administration being absolutely criticized sports inactivity in the face of the, of the genocide or more cries taking place. and gaza, so if they can claim that we've done something we've used are the power of sanctions to go after these bad guys then may be supposedly we are balanced. we're not just letting it all take place with no, no response. and is this a scape goats issue of sorts i out because washington has decided reportedly to

sanction just one single military unit. instead of taking aim a, you know, there's been a whole host of seniors, really officials who made pretty. i'd love their statements over the last few months and they're getting off. scott free all the way up to the members of the cabinet and the prime minister and uh, and this of course for days even this uh the, the, the current can thing and god stuffs but especially over the last uh, 6 months. so um, uh, why is there and why are there no sanctions against the prime minister and the time? yeah. or the, the minister of defense or the head of the military. um can, can really point to something significant that the net stuff, even the battalion did, which the, the people above it has, has this so sometimes themselves fall. in fact the, the,

the us government itself just moved over the past day with this, the approval of the export. but just for, for this real military itself is responsible for them. i would say a lot more depths than the entire and that seemed uh, fatality is very interesting point. and will this have a loss thing impact though, because we say it is the 1st ever time. if it does go through, that's a at i b f battalion has been sanctioned by israel's closest ally, the u. s. is this more significant than perhaps we're what we're saying? not because, you know, you can't go back when it happens. it will have occurred and you know, there's no turning point after that it will make history as a, as a is. and i can only hope that this is true and 10, in fact, we've already seen some individuals sanctions beginning to take effect. so i'm not

so on from necessity button and not the extreme right wing is rarely active, is named ben's the gold standard has just reported today that when he tried to use his credit card to fill a gas in his car, he was told by the credit card company, but he is under sanctions. so the credit card company cannot. i'm the owner as requests to to withdraw signs. and this is one of the 1st times this, this ever happened. and israel's, where people of course have no idea that a lot of the population of the world can not have any in the financial dealings with, with any us related companies. places like, um, uh like for us uh, like co signers layla's like cuba. um, uh, and as bailey's belief is not bustle but this part of the world which the us likes . so this doesn't happen. and now for the 1st time, people will get

a taste of what it means where and when the us doesn't like, so to speak. all citizens in a certain, uh, in a certain states. i don't, i'm not sure that this will have a very significant effect because the relation of it's related to us is, is that as the client and the patron and this is relatively well understood. so it just, finally, it just the point that i want to make it, but because it does seem to be a lot of opposition among seniors, really officials to this what sort of steps come they, in essence, in reality kind of is real potentially take to shield its troops from such sanctions and indeed any accountability here. i guess you can do one of several things. one of they will probably trying to have go with the us about the details of what the sanctions will exactly the put in place. because if it's the

sanctions having to do with the weapons that they get to them those and get their weapons from another source, there was really a military suppliers. they may reform the battalion like or ortega, supposedly a part, but reform and with another name. um, uh and or they may just stepped away. um uh things are like i said it's not like the battalion is lacking good sources for weapons and equipments and they'll just have other military units get the, the regular us military age. so in practice, this will not have so this can be worked around i all, thanks very much for your time today. oh, as enjoy the conversation we've been speaking to, it's really anti war activist, i'll rosenberg live in the program. okay, let's turn attention now to the conflict in ukraine and don't boss. now, russian forces have taken the village of folk dental of cat, and they've done yet. republican and russian defense ministry saves the site,

was secured by units of its southern combat group. retreating, ukrainian troops tried to come to attack twice, but were repelled. according to moscow, it says to have lost at least 440 soldiers in just the past. they are fighting in the area as well, or senior corresponding the rock as the of can tell us more from the ground. the collapse among you've created, defend this big on, on the 19th of april, where they began to leave their positions, which they had defended vs the resistance of the tax. but they began abandoning that and so just to heavy egypt. so just those who who will gals will leave by themselves and mobilize many have be now take it as prisoners of war, but by russian forces. they all being all being treated for the news in bucks on
