2:03 am
rosalyn, jordan as ly, for us in washington dc. rosalyn. i know this is being seen as a huge win for biden, but has been more than a year in the making and significantly less than bought and had initially hopeful that's the nature of politics. and washington presidents can propose pretty much anything they want, but they never get all that they want. it's the same with members of congress. they campaign on achieving certain things and they end up having to make compromises. the inflation reduction act is a textbook example of people making compromises in order to get some sort of legislation passed. certainly one thing that joe biden didn't want was continuing support for the oil, coal, and natural gas industries. but there are protections for those industries in the bill that was what was necessary in order to get a key swing democratic senator joe mansion to support the measure without his
2:04 am
support. and without similar concessions to another democratic senator kiersten cinema. the bill never would have passed because the senate is for all intents and purposes, divide it 5050. well we, we do have, there is november midterm elections coming up at. we've also had donald trump come back into the limelight to, to what extent is this going to be a boost for president biden? well, setting the former us president aside and he's never really left the limelight. the fact that the us president can now have support for those members of congress who are running for reelection and be able to argue to the voters who will send these representatives and senators, back to capitol hill, having them say, look, you're not going to have to spend as much money on your prescription drugs. you're going to have help covering your insurance payments for subsidized health care.
2:05 am
you're going to be able to get financial help upgrading and making your home more energy efficient through tax credits and other inducements. it will be easier for you to buy an electric vehicle and it will be easier and more cost efficient for the major us automakers to produce those vehicles. all of those things are issues that people in the democratic party can campaign on. and they certainly think that, that, coupled with the recent public anger over the overturning of roe vs wade, which legalized abortion in the united states. they think that those 2 issues will actually help democrats retain control of either one or possibly both chambers of congress, rosalyn jordan, their 1st live in washington dc. a key republican voice investigating last year's attack on the u. s. capital liz cheney is fighting for her political
2:06 am
life versus in her state of wyoming or deciding who will run in the mid term elections later this year. olds have chinese trailing her opponent harriet hagaman by double digits. she's being backed by former president. donald trump. chinese one favor with democrats for her participation in a congressional committee investigation. the attack on capitol hill in 2021. as good as hell correspond rob reynolds, who is in jackson, wyoming for us. rob is this simply a case of verses in this day, taking revenge on chinese for not taking from side well, to a certain extent. yes. the voters that we have talked to in, in small towns here in wyoming, say they felt betrayed, disappointed, they felt that representative janie is out of step with their values in wyoming and out of step with america as they, as they put it. don't forget that this was
2:07 am
a state where donald trump 170 percent of the vote in 2020 over joe biden. so it is a very conservative state. and as you mentioned, a harriet hagaman, an attorney from fort laramie, wyoming is running double digits over cheney in the polls list. chaney has responded to a certain extent by asking or urging democrats across party lines and changed their registration, which is possible here in wyoming under, under the law and vote for her. but there are only 40000 register democrats in the state versus 200000 and registered republican. so even if every democrat change sides, at least temporarily, that wouldn't put cheney over the top chain. casting her vote beside her father, the former vice president dick cheney was unapologetic this morning. she said,
2:08 am
no matter what the outcome today is in this republican primary, it is a battle that will continue and spoke again of the dangers to democracy without mentioning president trump by name. but cheney has been unrelenting in her criticism of trump during the january 6 hearings has exposed falsehoods, that he is promulgated his role. the things that he did and didn't do on the day of the insurrection, and that has just not gone over well with people here in wyoming. and one of the, the really, i would guess, i would say appalling things about this rate is that liz cheney has not been able to go out and campaign in big rallies and, and press the flesh, meet the voters, to the extent that most candidates do in a small state like this, why? because she's been subject to a stream of death threats for her work on,
2:09 am
on the investigative committee. and she is now being guarded in part by a contingent of capital police officers. that same force that guarded the capital. when the insurrection occurred. okay, thank you for that, rob rentals for us live in jackson, wyoming. let's get a little more analysis on this. we're joined by jason nicole's. he joined me live now from eloquent city in maryland. he is a democratic josh just on a lecture at the university of maryland. good to see you again. is this a done deal? do you think she is going to lose? yes i, i think she's almost certain to lose. i. it would be a miracle if she's able to pull this out. miracles do happen in politics, but it seems like she is pretty much going to lose. but i think she's still going to be an important figure moving forward. particularly if donald trump is the republican nominee. if they continue to support him and he actually does declare to
2:10 am
run for president, i think she's going to be an important voice and a thorn in his side for conservative values and particularly for that sliver of american voters who are pliable, who are in the middle who usually have conservative values, but are uncomfortable with trumps criminality and with his behavior. and i wonder to what extent that is because, i mean this primary illustrates that the outcome of one candidate in one election. it's not just about that a raises huge questions about the feature of the republican party. yeah, i think the republican party certainly is shifted in a direction that even lives cheney is, is uncomfortable with. and i think it's important to remember that who las cheney is, she is incredibly conservative. liz cheney is someone who voted with donald trump. 93 percent of the time she supports tax cuts for the wealthy. she voted against impeaching donald trump in the 1st impeachment where he extorted ukrainian
2:11 am
leaders. she votes for conservative judges. she called democrats the party of infanticide. so she is no liberal and she is no democratic hero. but one of the things that she does stand for is for our democratic principles overall. and i think that, you know, with the way that the republican party is going now, she sounds like she's a reasonable voice and i don't know that she has a future. i'm now on the national stage, but i think she as a future has a voice, a voice of reason of voice, where we can actually come together on some issues and some things that we believe in which is the constitution of the united states. there is some suggestion, isn't that she is aiming for the top office and we may even hear an indication of that tonight. i think that's possible that she may be aiming for that. i think that that it is highly unlikely. i don't see that she has
2:12 am
a real home. she doesn't have a home in the democratic party. she's somebody literally criticized donald trump for not being hawkish enough and wanting war with iraq. i don't think that that's going to have a home in the democratic party. and i think are republicans, as we've seen, are still enamored with donald trump. and so she doesn't really have a home. so i don't see how she can i, you know, seek the highest office in the land when you don't have a real bass or constituency. i think she does have a voice that can sway people in the middle one way or the other. and that's going to be a very important voice, but i don't think it's something that can propel her to the white house. okay, jason nicholas at joining me that from anna could setting maryland democratic sashes and lecture at the university of maryland. still ahead on al jazeera to get another which she will go to you at the moment board. i'm of course go to law

2:18 am
some recording, some videos of rates being carried out, allegedly detaining those who are behind this attacks who the russians call ukrainian terrorists. i've been talking to some analysts, and they're suggesting that those who could be behind this attack could be who they call part to fans or government supporters carry out guerrilla style attacks in crimea. but also it could be special forces so far. the ukrainian government has not confirmed or denied, but anything has happened. what's important by crimea, as also, is that russian officials have said that if something happens in crimea, it will trigger a massive retaliation against a crane. and that's why this les packs have many people here on the alert, and also crimea is a crucial destination. a crucial point that russia use is to supply its lines that it attacks on other parts of ukraine. and a delegation is in gaza when members have signed

2:20 am
it's indispensable that a political solution be found, and this has 2 angles to it. the 1st of all is to end as soon as possible, the closure and locate of godson to allow gases to freely move dr. entry and exit completely liberalize so that people can sort of improve their life to with. the 2nd is a political solution, a solution which allows that is a unified politically credible and democratically elected government off the pedestrian authority responsible for both the west bank and gaza. and that calls for all phyllis to infection and its leadership to agree on reconciliation and stage election as soon as possible that the people of garza and the westbank can vote for their representatives and is writing newspapers reporting that a miniature investigation is confirmed and israeli asked strike caled, 5 palestinian children in garza during recent flare up of violence, israeli strike cases cemetery. and gibb alia on the 7th of august just hours before

si fi, it was agreed im now site has more on august 7th and 9. the 3 latest escalation on the gaza strip between israel and islamic jihad that started on the 5th of august and ended on the 7th of august after a ceasefire. there was brokerage by egypt on that same day. on 7th august, i, 5 the children of the same family and mission family were killed in cemetery. the news, a cemetery in giovanni, a refugee camp, eye witnesses, a local palace scenes from the area and around the cemetery, said that the so and ease really drone of firing a mess style on those children where the cemetery is a place that is not a proud it plays, it is not covered by a high rise buildings or houses or anything. it's just a cemetery. so it was very visible to the eye witnesses around the cemetery,

2:23 am
anywhere near it. it does not have any legitimate targets the road which makes it a possible war crime to attack an area without a military target as being acquired as the main target. so in that thin, i don't think there's any possible justification for targeting this the graveyard. other than looking at this is consistent with israel track record with never playing by the rules with unlawful target and with sometimes possibly targeting civilians directly. we have a long track record of israel, for instance, in 2014 operation protective edge where it can at least 2 members or more of 144 families, including wiping out entire families. there was no justification in many of the incident. first official day of campaigning ahead of brazil presidential election
