some kind of. well it was a really scary night. my friends who live in remote places where even more scared with their reality of missiles being fired from the gaza strip and all of israel's under attack it's a very scary situation to be in while al-jazeera has suffered and herefore said we're covering developments from gaza and southern israel let's go to south. first . tell us what's been going on there this evening. well the last. national islamic back and the central area in a new development and escalation this bank have been destroyed also in the 2014 war because israel claims that this bank is on a deal with hamas in addition to the bank. and

a surprising attack there's really fighting just a hit just the ordinary street and the main street in gaza city next to our office here just 50 meters 13. 80 strikes that take the main junction in gaza city we went into street we found nothing both the empty street now the street the main road in gaza city is not use of the new age and the other part of gaza city also fighting jets they also destroyed. a new constructed road in gaza city which turned into unusable roads which could be part of the israeli bank of targets which is destroying the infrastructure the israeli air strikes has never stopped yet every time there is a few minutes of relative calm this then suddenly you have strikes and everywhere

all over the gaza strip from south south or north people are staying at home after the recent or the latest israeli strike there was cut off of electricity of electricity which is the gazans are used because they are they have 8 hours only a day of electricity since the. part of crushes that you have been suffering since 2007 when the israelis bombarded the destroyed the main. part planet and in the gaza strip in addition we could see we could hear the explosions of. intercepting the rockets that have been fired by seen an armed group who. still firing their rockets towards southern israel the biggest wave of. rockets the were fired from gaza where a 9. pm local went as let me get hard part of biggest barrage of rockets in the evening and retaliation to the us is

a nation of hamas senora military command on 3 other that i really. really are hamas and islamic jihad military commanders minister of osaze 3rd it's 56 palestinians have been killed including 15 children and 6 women 300 other people injured a. minister of health say they are not able or they will not be able to deal with the huge number of casualties in case of. israeli airstrike continue with the same rhythm or increase. and suffer what gaza city and gaza strip in general is one of the most densely populated areas in the world i mean paint a picture for us just describe how our basically there is really nowhere that people can hide our try to escape from these rockets. yes gaza is a very small geographical 360 meter square where the more than 2000000 people

living and a very. crowded. residential areas people are staying over most of the population now if not all are staying at home because there are no shelters prepared for such. or such conditions such as collections the only thing that out there the gazans or people in gaza can do is just staying home and following the news looking for are waiting for 'd any positive news regarding calming down the situation or are getting positive mediation by either egypt or the international community the people in gaza 2 thirds of the population are under the bottom line and they depend on most of the population depend on food aid programs and food international aid organizations have been supplying and providing for the population now since 'd in the last 3 or 4 days gaza crossings has been all closed

the seas closed the main and the only commercial closing that crossing that provide gaza with the main elements including cooking gods and other a daily life element husband called saddam has been closed for the 2nd or 3rd day 'd so even the international organizations if the israelis are not open that such crossings also that it will increase the humanitarian crisis of the gaza strip who as you said as you said depend mainly most of the people who depend only on charity and aid food parcels that have been distributed by international organizations after 15 years of israeli siege i think too that the cove in 1000 prices raised. the unemployment up to 50 percent and in addition to that 2 thirds of the population are under the poverty line how

does their suffering. reporting for us from gaza thank you. and tensions of also spilled onto the streets of israel's mixed palestinian israeli towns and neighborhoods there have been riots in the city of by pm near tel aviv shops owned by palestinian israelis have been targeted in there are also reports of street attacks on palestinian israelis one of the worst spasms of communal violence that israel has seen in years one of the country's 2 chief rabbis has appealed for restraint. and several mosques have been attacked in the lead where the israeli government has the cleared a state of emergency about a 3rd of the population are palestinian israelis a palestinian man was shot dead and the synagogue and dozens of vehicles were set on fire the mayor has likened it to a civil war. let's go live to have a force that now who is in southern israel near gaza so 2 developments i guess they

are to follow harry one is the impact of the many missiles that are coming from the gaza strip some of which are not being intercepted by the are in them but also this violence that we're seeing within many israeli towns between israeli jews and the palestinian israelis. yes and they're both extremely and deeply concerning for these relief people jews and arabs both and indeed for the israeli government let's start with the military escalation which as you can hear is still continuing more sounds like more israeli air strikes going in there we've also during the time that we were just hearing from software to outgoing artillery rounds from quite close to our position here so it is ongoing and we have got reporting now from the israeli security cabinet which broke up a little bit earlier and the consensus seeming to come from that reporting is that

there is a consensus within the israeli government that it is going to continue its military operation that is not the time as far as they're concerned to talk about cease fires and what we have seen instead has been a continuing. round of military strikes inside gaza and indeed a lot of rocket fire coming out there were 2 big bear rogers one from hamas one claimed by hamas and the 2nd claim by palestinian islamic jihad in the 1st of those big bear rogers many of those rockets got through to towns near here to stare out at times like interceptions potentially stare out and ashkelon or a young boy killed in steroids and so the escalation is claiming more lives in israel and in gaza and as far as the israeli government is concerned it is set to continue they say. and we're also talking about that worrying development that we're seeing in some israeli towns where basically their score in

all of violence how rare it is that that kind of violence. i mean people are talking about it as if they can't really put a finger on any time that they know of where the entire country seemed to erupt in this sort of really personal on the streets community to community racial violence and not just in in one place sparked by one thing but all across the country we've seen these similar images of jews and arabs facing off in the streets a lot of the violence on this night appears to be targeting palestinian israelis after the previous couple of nights when the proportionate nature of it was was that it more of it seemed to be targeting jews and so we've seen a palestinian israeli or other person that a person that we thought was thought to be

a palestinian israeli i'm sorry just getting some information from my producer here . to jews cases has been gunfire in the city of lloyd. 22 jewish people injured one of them critically in that gunfire so that's the latest development there earlier there was in the city of baghdad what looked like an attempted public lynching of a man who was just thrown to the floor and beaten repeatedly in front of television cameras they thought he was an arab it turned out he was a jew and this is been happening up and down the country so the prime minister benjamin netanyahu had called for an iron fist to deal with this he put out a recorded message in which he said that what is happening in the country is unbearable it's an icky indeed that is it with a lot of people being using an icky because of the overwhelming of the police presence and the decision to bring in military forces instead and he's calling for

unity and to succumb to the previous status quo together but at the moment it's an extremely worrying develop. at the same time israel is dealing as you can here with this continuing escalation. herefore said with the latest in southern israel near gaza harris thank you. palestinian president mahmoud abbas has called for amanda to what he termed the israeli aggression people have spoken the word and we are one feel sure without occupation will not look aggression what now is. it without exception levels and settlements. and gratian days really aggression have exceeded all limits and has. done without and violated all treaties. laws and they

remained. u.s. president joe biden says he spoke not long ago to israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu when he was optimistic that the violence will not last much longer my expectation and hope is that. this will be. closing down sooner than later but israel has a right to defend itself and you have thousands of rockets lining to your territory but i had a conversation for one hour with the prime minister of israel and i think good there. my hope is there will see this coming to conclusions. mike hanna is live from washington d.c. and mike we heard president biden there use that line that you so often hear from israel's american allies you know about israel having the right to defend itself

and sort of maybe forgetting that the rest of the context but when he says he's optimistic that the violence won't last much longer why might that be what could the u.s. . sort of impose or what could the u.s. do to israel to try to rein them in. well it appears that the u.s. is not going to impose or do anything to israel to rein them in given those statements made by president biden repeating as you said that us mantra that you hear every time the conflict arises that israel has the right to defend itself removing it from any form of context or context of course being the occupier attacking the occupied but the point is that biden is making 2 is that there is a diplomatic initiative under way in a readout of that conversation with benjamin netanyahu released by the white house it is said that president biden informed the israeli prime minister that there had

been discussions not only with israeli officials but also with officials from neighboring countries in particular egypt. and he also pointed out u.s. officials are talking to palestinian officials as well it's not a one way dialogue with the israelis so perhaps president biden hopes that this round of diplomacy will help to persuade the sides to deescalate the conflict remembering though as well that deescalation is not something that is necessarily new troll the media narrative tends to be that it is retaliate for tat ongoing violence but it is far more subtle than that and the united nations for example would argue that as a nation state israel has a greater responsibility in terms of retraining itself in terms of carrying out these ongoing attacks but all of that being said president biden making very clear

as to the state department earlier that there is ongoing negotiation with a number of parties in this conflict and perhaps the administration's trend at the moment is to try and involve those states with a great degree of influence in the region particularly in gaza those states. being in particular cutter egypt to come to the table in terms of persuading from one side hamas to deescalate the conflict on the other side working through its channels with israel to try and restrain the conflict there but all of that being said there is one more leverage the united states could use and that is on those nations that recently signed a pact with israel the arab nations that latched on to the so-called 8 grams accord nations like a darby bahrain they could be influential in terms of bringing pressure to bear on israel saying that we are going to walk away from this pact if you continue the escalation of the conflict so there are various ways it's just unclear whether the

biden administration is ready or willing to choose one of those avenues i cannot with the latest from washington d.c. thank you. so that's a u.s. reaction what about the u.n. role the security council has held another urgent closed door meeting about the escalating violence and called on all sides to exercise restraint u.n. secretary general and tony good taters spoke earlier in moscow he said the peace process needs to be restarted to resolve this issue. international law applies to everybody without exception all member states are supposed to abide by the resolutions namely the resolutions really consumed and obviously the unity of the significance of it is even extremely important instruments the recent incidents the most important it is to restart effectively the peace process because it's the only way i will true believer that we need to promote a 2 state solution living in peace and harmony between the 2 and with normalized

relations with the region and the full participation of the countries of the region of in social commitments all in creating the conditions for this peace process to move forward. speaking there ok well let's take a look now at gaza the size and location just to see what the impact is of these attacks while the gaza strip is 41 kilometers long and 12 kilometers wide that's at its widest point about 2000000 people are squeezed into its 365 square kilometers is room mentioning earlier with our gaza correspondent this makes it one of the most densely populated territories in the world and more than a 3rd of the population that's nearly 600000 people live in gaza city well earlier our al jazeera arabic colleague spoke to the director of gaza's sheaffer hospital he says the attacks of put pressure on

a medical system which has already stretched to breaking point. yeah no. problem and then the situation is more than dire simply because gaza strip as you know has been under tight siege for the past 14 years the siege has exhausted the entire health care sector in the strip in addition we were hit by the coronavirus pandemic which we have been fighting for more than a year now israel's recent unjust some political and aggression has come to add insult to injury and as you see for your own eyes innocent women and children are victims most of their bodies are torn apart needless to say that our operation rooms have been suffering lack of supplies over the past 15 years consumables and medicines are in charge shortage in the entire gaza strip this hospital has been running on the same devices and are planted for the past 20 years. as a communications officer for save the children and the residents of gaza he says the

latest round of attacks from only create more anxiety and instability for young people unfortunately this is a cycle that keeps repeating. unfortunately children are always have been the worst way because when there is violence children are always among the killed and also among the injured. and the vast majority of children in gaza are always traumatised i can tell you this from the experience of my children from my colleagues when i talk them they tell me about the children are beneficiaries as well children are having it the worst way this time the feeling anxiety and fear and sleeplessness and they're seeing nightmares i even look at this such as my children themselves. i've seen behaviors in them never seen them before like they're always attentive listening to what's happening outside they're always afraid it's hard for me to get

them to sleep i have to to hug them all night even if they wake up to the sounds of explosions i have to love them back to sleep which is the and very unfair situation for any child to be and the worst part is that they feel this is normal that this is the whole what what their life in life experience on planet earth is like my daughter is 6 years old my son is 5 years old like even last year my daughter told me like she is worried for her uncle my brother who is another lens because what if there is an airstrike in the netherlands i would do would shock me to my core that my daughter does not understand that this is not normal this is only palestine but today keep asking questions with everything that's happening at the moment and we have to explain to them as much as possible like you know this is temporary this is going to end soon and and in chalo would be safe and would be ok and we passed with this. well rami corey is the rector of global engagement at the american university

of beirut and he joins me live from boston rami corey always great to have you on the program i don't know whether you could hear the voice there of mazin from save the children resident in gaza talking about the cycle of violence talking about the impact of course that it has on everyone but especially on children we've obviously been here before do you see anything that is different about the situation that we're seeing now both of the the violence between israel and gaza but also the events that we're seeing across israel itself. and the only thing that's different now from what i've been reporting and watching and analyzing for the last 50 years as a journalist and academic in the arab world in the middle east and having visited israel many times on all 'd over the palestinian camps the only thing that's different now is that in the international analysis and the news coverage and the stories that are coming out on social media we are seeing the whole world is seeing a replay of the essential actions of zionist groups in the twenty's and thirty's

and forty's in palestine and then the state of israel since 1988 to keep expelling palestinians as they're trying to do in charge of right to left most thugs to beat up and terrorize palestinians as they are doing and lead them and the f.r. in other places now happening today which you had on on your report and claiming that this is self-defense that's new what's new is that the world are seeing the totality of the 'd of the zionist and israeli action plan that succeeded in creating a strong israeli state which has many beneficial things in education and science and medicine but is also the longest running colonial enterprise in the modern world from the late 19th century to the early 21st century or so this is new so this has to be grasped to find a resolution that allows israel to live in peace which we accept to do as

palestinians and allows the palestinians to live in peace as well in their own state and resolving the refugee claims of both sides absolutely that's what's new there's a clarity now in what the israelis are doing in the barbarism and the violence that they're using the disproportionate while and the brutality is now much more clear students who want to study colonialism don't need to go to college and the more they can just turn on the t.v. and watch what the israelis are doing and stood. so interested in resistance would wash with the palestinians you don't have to say it you say that the world's reaction to the events is different but we were just hearing from president biden and other western leaders who came out with the usual mantra that israel has a right to defend itself kind of like you know arriving at the conflict at one point which is just when gaza starts firing rockets and kind of ignoring the call context around that if that doesn't change ultimately no one can put pressure on

israel and it doesn't look like politically that is going to change anytime soon you're correct right now today there is no significant change that's visible but what is visible and if you compare this to the time span of the south african conflict of northern ireland and other conflicts around the world racism in the united states these took decades and decades to reach a point where the public and the political class were so exasperated with the with the atrocities by one side over the other of the occupying force over the occupied that they finally moved on came up with political negotiated political resolutions we haven't reached that point yet and the power sign there's real conflict but what you're starting to see is glimpses of this where members of congress in the united states speak out openly about this asking the government check why are the israelis using white phosphorous of american arms to attack civilians and kill people demolish entire buildings these are war crimes the the u.n.

the my understand your national everybody has said these are clearly war crimes and by the way they're all being documented now all the stuff you see on social media this is every act is every minute is being documented and it will go to the international criminal court and anybody who does war crimes if it's israelis if it's arabs if it's turks if it's americans if there's a british and yemen whoever does war crimes is going to have to be held accountable that's also new so there are some elements here that are. indicating that we are not out a tipping point but we are at the beginning of a process of washing history of all of slowly and this is really significant and what we need at every step of this process are the facts and the truth and applying the law equally to both sides the book of deuteronomy told us tells the hebrews to pass on to the world god's message to pursue justice and only justice that's what we believe and that's what i believe in that's what all humanity should believe and

that it must be an evil equal application of the law to find the moment when the conflict and justice prevails and some kind of normal relationship reemerge as can you imagine what would happen when the palestinians and the israelis join forces in 2 states living side by side these are going to be the new home car of the world the new china of the world not in numbers but in terms of creativity and dynamism these are 2 extraordinary people but they're both as caught up in this terrible war that's gone on for over 100 years now and we're witnessing in our daily events that shift in the lead in gaza we're witnessing how this conflict played itself out lid in the city in israel where jews have been going really jews have been going around beating up palestinians that was ethnically cleanse in 1948 around $60000.00 palestinians were driven out of their homes itzhak rabin signed the expulsion order said get the civilians out of there and that was the what the zionist moves were

doing before the state of vision was created so we were seeing all this going on and there must be a historical correction to this restitution justice equal justice for all and this is so important now that this is being discussed openly in the media even in the american media you're getting glimpses of this which is really really significant. rami khouri always good to talk to you thank you so much for sharing your views with us on the subject. well that me down on there is a former israeli ambassador to the u.n. that he says he's concerned about the address that we've been seeing breakout in the mixed palestinian israeli towns and neighborhoods so i thought i would about what we are seeing in the streets on the of those mixed feed is we believe in quote distance we are proud of that those if anything to the south all right we have

a feeling for justice through the now it's very member of knesset of cloud of that but we have to put it in context the last 2 days we have seen hundreds of but that of not being done population a small are becoming or that you are against jews it would be so tonight will call when we saw us model minority. israel that in the u.s. and iraq so we should condemn all bottle and got a list of who is behind it but when you put it in context the last 2 days you had hundreds of attacks because muslims mostly use against innocent jews and tonight unfortunately we saw what accounts for the other side that the innocent arabs we should condemn were truly members that live in the same place it would continue to live in the same place around the globe people have been using social media to share their opinions on the violence people are angry scared and upset the harding has been following their reactions online. we have

a lot of chatter in europe and of course the middle east and india are talking about this hashtags like gaza under attack free palestine and israeli terrorism are all trending worldwide with tens of millions of tweets each the hashtags along with videos like this are going viral this shows the aftermath of an israeli missile in gaza that killed a woman and her family the woman was out shopping and her car for fish to have as breakfast for the 1st day of eat well political cartoons and graphics are also being used to share palestinian stories the caption to this one reads this is not religious this is humanitarian online people all over the world are urging others to share their own social media accounts to speak out and share hashtags like this woman who has more than a 1000000 followers now you don't need to be out of you don't need to be muslim you don't even need to be power station you need to stand up for injustice in palestine

this is not political this is not religious and this is not anti-semitic this is humanitarian and this is about standing up for the oppressed now the problem is there are many palestinians that eyeing and there is no media coverage to help if you would like to help i advice you to use your platform and use your voice to let the world know what's happening in palestine well the way the media is covering this story is also being criticized online here american writer shaun king it is a new york times article and headline and this one is being shared online too it's from reuters political researcher us all rudd said dear journalists we can't keep doing this for you she said stop producing decades of brutality to just calling it clashes she went on in a tweet to say that it's so important for people with a platform to spread the message oppressor and oppressed she says are not 2 equal sides. well demonstrations in support of palestinians in the occupied territories are continuing around the world but these were the scenes in neighboring jordan

where people rallied outside the israeli embassy in the capital amman they were demanding an end to jordan's peace treaty with israel. with the. increased police have clashed with proposed and in protesters during a rally outside the israeli embassy in athens several 100 people had gathered they chanted and chanted and burned that israeli flag before being the sparse with tear gas. still to come in this hour india's official death toll passes a quarter of a 1000000 after reports another $4205.00 covert deaths plus i will do everything i can to ensure that the former president never again gets anywhere near the oval office is cheney defiant after house republicans vote ouster from their leadership for criticizing trump's false claims that last year's

election was stolen and in sports a day of accidents at the tour of italy. a report into the global response to covert $1000.00 says february 2020 was a last month as countries took a wait and see approach to the swift spreading disease independent world health organization experts found the failure to react to early warnings allowed the virus to spread into a catastrophic pandemic the panel is recommending a new global system to be set up to respond faster to disease outbreaks. for meanwhile india has seen its deadliest day of the pandemic so far with 4205 people reported to have succumbed to the virus the number of new infections also rose in the last 24 hour reporting period after a 2 day drop india is now recorded more than 23000000 cases since the pandemic

began elizabeth primum reports from new delhi. all my father looks at from his mother's grave as it's being prepared he's not yet ready to say goodbye his story of mourning is one of thousands around the country every day. as india streets empty because of localized lockdowns burial grounds and predatory and continue to work day and night. and an india is poorest states with their predation and be hard $100.00 bodies of suspected car the mine $900.00 victims have been found floating in the ganges river. at the scene and investigating we are trying to find out where did these with dead bodies from how did they get here and their numbers. with kramatorsk around the country struggling to deal with a huge increase in bodies residents of gaza report an author they say they informed the local administration about

a shortage of what for cremations. we told the administration that the dead are being thrown in the water because of the shortage of war bodies from around the world about 13 villages have been thrown in the water. they are government denies reports of what shortages it says it's carrying out post-mortems on the bodies to determine the causes of death elsewhere and the patient to continue to die because of oxygen shortages $26.00 in the southern state of goa. yesterday we had a requirement of 1270 as we got only 400 there was interrupted oxygen supply from 2 am to 6 am which caused a lot of deaths. cases are increasing in southern india where 18 people also died from oxygen shortages this week in the states of. and 10 and despite the number of cases dropping in about half of india's states including the worst affected regions of maharashtra and delhi one in 5 people testing. gets

a positive result and that's because the virus has simply spread to other areas most notably the 5 states where regional elections were held in april elizabeth al-jazeera. iraq has announced a 10 day lockdown in an attempt to stop corona virus infections surging over the holiday that tougher measures include a travel ban between cities and towns shopping malls restaurants and other public facilities will also be forced to close more than a 1000000 people in iraq have tested positive for corona virus since the pandemic began. cuba is starting its 1st mass vaccination rollout husing 2 of its own locally produced jobs the sober on a 02 and the vaccines are currently in phase 3 of clinical trials that will be given a 780000 people in the 1st phase with a total of 5 vaccines and 5 in different stages of development at augustine is in

heaven that he explains how cuba has been able to develop so many vaccines the spite its economic difficulties. the 90 vaccine was around the world that a commonly undergoing clinical trials 5 of those a human on this is in a population of 11000000 people a 6th of the world's population. and it's all the more incredible given the sanctions that i mean right now that there are bread shortages around have ana right now. the state is doling out cooking oil from the world food programme i've been here 8 years i've never seen privation and people like this but you know on the other hand co-existing with this with this reality of scarcity you're so you're seeing scientific progress i think i think part of the answer is simply that it was always a big priority for the cuban government and fidel castro was was a man obsessed with public health and he founded what's called in cuba the biological front in 1801 and then

a lot of resources and mines and and human capital were put into the biotech industry over the last 40 years and the results of what we're seeing now. for since prime minister has announced an inquiry into the country's handling of the covert $1000.00 pandemic that review will begin next year and will focus on the united kingdom's high death rate and the initial reluctance to impose a lockdown the u.k. is europe's highest death toll with more than 127000 fatalities. the acting u.s. defense secretary at the time of the january 6th riot on capitol hill has defended his actions in testimony before congress christopher miller said that sending in the national guard earlier what have created the appearance of a military coup. use them for domestic law enforcement any other manner is contrary to the constitution and the threat to the republican i ask you this consider what the response in congress in the media had been unilaterally deploy thousands of

troops into washington d.c. that morning against the expressed wishes of the mayor and the capitol police who indicated they were prepared us republicans a vote to oust congresswoman liz cheney from her leadership role in the house of representatives she's been removed for repeatedly rebuking former president of donald trump over his false claims of election fraud this cheney was the 3rd most senior republican in the chamber critics say it's not only her curse ism of trump but the frequency of it that led them to take action speaking after the vote cheney was the fine and i will do everything i can to ensure that the former president never again gets anywhere near the oval office we have seen the danger that he continues to provoke with his language we have seen his lack of commitment and dedication to the constitution and i think it's very

important that we make sure who matter we elect is somebody who will be faithful to the constitution well john jordan as a republican strategist and he joins me now by skype from son of mine california sir thank you so much for joining us here on al-jazeera so what do you make of the fact that she was effectively pushed out what does that say about the republican party. well what it says is that in right now republicans in congress they need a unified message when dealing with frankly the democrats are in control of all of washington the house the senate and the presidency and here you have a member lynne cheney the daughter of vice president cheney who is the architect of the failed war in iraq the failed strategy in afghanistan i might add kind of wanting to pad her own nest to build her own brand it's not what she said so much or her views there are others many in the republican party kind of feel the same way but as she's using her leadership post to pat her own nest rather than to bring

the caucus together republicans in the house together to provide a unified front and a unified and unified messaging going into the midterms and so it was more of the freelancing and her looking out for herself rather than the republicans in the house as a whole that really did her in most politicians within reason worry about their personal careers as well as the party but what i'm trying to understand is why the fact that she would putting it was putting a lot of emphasis on that you know on the fact that the election was not stolen why you think that that didn't go down well with members of the party when you say frequency i mean a lot of republican electorate still think that the election was stolen what their what their there were some issues with the election i mean to be sure whether it's i wouldn't i wouldn't say that it was stolen i would not say that. but you know there are differing opinions as to whether or not there was wrongdoing in certain places whether it would have made a difference who knows but it's not it's the fact that she is out there talking

about the election 6 months ago rather than what republicans are going to do for the american people going into the midterms that's what's rancorous it is not helpful for her to sit there and try to litigate the election over and over whether you're on the trump side or whether you think you stole it either one is still wrong if you're in the house leadership in republican leadership in the house of representatives right now you. your message your program for the american people and how that contrasts with the looming failures of the biden ministration you shouldn't be litigating on either side what happened in the election 6 months ago as so looking forward to do you think that the fact she had to step down a was pushed out shows that trump is a very divisive issue within the party or does it show that actually he's still very much a presence among republicans i don't think it shows really anything other than what republicans want to do is be moving forward you talk of worrying about retaking the congress in the midterms the election 6 months is as you heard the expression 6

months is that eternity in politics the election was over 6 months ago president driver is in an office he has some people to support him a lot some people support him a little is that people can't stand him in the republican party and there's room for everybody but the elections in the past it's about the future now and if you're not going to get onboard with talking about the future you know you have no business in leadership john jordan a republican strategist joining us from california sir thank you for your views. pleasure. at the operators of a u.s. oil pipeline that was hit by cyber attackers a say will start pumping again in a matter of hours but the repercussions of the attack continue to spread along the east coast of the country as particle hey now 5 points. for a chorus of apologies and anger on the east coast of the united states i've been waiting here for 45 minutes just to get us growing gas shortages after the pipeline
