9:06 pm
share common interest, a common enemy, pick the iran and radical islamic terrorists organization. and that context the only confirm will be whether israelis is able to fit the traditional role. and i, as i live in this regard, given it's been kind of the vision of a long term, particularly on the center of at the center left of american politics in the sense of center, right? and center that european politics the fact that is rather the democracy is central to the underlying support for israel. and were these reforms to be part and implemented and lead to overtime. the loss of independence is ready to dish or re and pose a threat to individual minority rights in israel that could severely damage israel's relations with the us with western europe. meanwhile, in the elk replied, west bank, there's been escalating violence in the past few days. is really forces killed 3

9:09 pm
with liberal jews in the united states are demanding that a visa be denied to the israeli finance minister. bessolo smart rich, who is a do in washington for talks next week of smarter'n has called for the town of horror to be raised. that's where to settlers were killed last month. smudges, smudges comments coincided with a violent response by settlers in which one palestinian was killed as bring in the stephanie fox from seattle. she is the executive director of the jewish voice for peace action. so why do you want us to deny much richer visa? listen, we have a petition with nearly 4000 jewish american signatures demanding that the biden administration deny him of ease. prevent him from being here to raise money for
9:10 pm
israel's apartheid regime, which is the purpose of his visit. and he's been nearly $4000000000.00 in unconditional funding. we sent israel each and every year. we think it's just absolutely time that the biden administration and hollow of concern and condemnation and start taking decisive action. it's likely biden well and will continue, refused to take any action in this moment. and all that does is continue decades of unchecked total us city in israeli, apartheid and all of the violence that we're seeing right now, which is exactly what helped us to arrive in this right. the u. s. is israel strongest and closest ally? how would you like to see them the biden administration handle? in particular, this is really government the most right. when government they've had listen, it is critical to understand that smoke, which is a feature not a bug, his program of israeli apartheid. he's not a bad apple,
9:11 pm
he's not an aberration as the finance minister. he quite literally represents investment in the israeli apartheid and colonization. his remarks also resemble comments made from zionist leaders from the very founding of the state. and so for us, what we're saying is, it's absolutely time to recognize that to understand how he's part of a broader system of israeli apartheid. and to stop just condemning and to take real action or the u. s. is usually pretty timid and it's criticism of is really government. mm hm. absolutely. and you know, it's, we're now in the face of unchecked genocidal rhetoric and nearly day daily, ongoing human rights atrocities. and in the face of that, the biden administration can and must take symbol common sex at sense actions which look like denying smudge entry, which looks like ending u. s. military funding to the israeli government. otherwise, the white house will continue to be complicit in every palestinian killed by the
9:12 pm
israeli military. where do you stand on? the judicial reform that is currently underway in israel. listen in a system of israeli apartheid and colonization. the palestinians have been under for over 75 years. the, the, i'm anti democratic nature, the palestinians have been living with for decades. now jewish israelis are recognizing and seeing and front of them, right. and so what we're looking at is the unchecked, obvious, sort of eventual outcome of what the zionist agenda has been from the start, which is jewish supremacy and domination, which is by its very nature, deeply anti democratic. so at this point, that's actually going to affect the lives of jewish israelis as well. or stephanie fox, the executive director of the jewish voice for peace action. thank you very much for joining us. thanks for having me. plenty more head on the news. our including the u. s. senate is holding a hearing on the derailment of

9:15 pm
place through this budget paid family leave universal preschool. how's it going to pay for all of this? well, this is where it gets controversial. i, it's not exactly a popular with some conservatives, but what he's going to do with tax, the rich. in other words, those earning over $400000.00 are going to see their taxes in the united states go up in terms of the corporate tax is going to go up from 21 to 28 percent. and we're also going to see in terms of other monies that are going to be raised to fund all of this, that there is going to be a substantial increase. so what we know is that this is controversial and certainly this is something that we're going to hear more from the president. he's in philadelphia where he's going to be unveiling this. this is the budget proposal. is the president going to get what he wants? is it going to go through absolutely not, and that's what's really important to know here. this is the proposal. you're
9:16 pm
absolutely right, co equal branches of government. the white house proposes congress approves and the president doesn't have the luxury of his party controlling both the upper and the lower chamber. in other words, republicans control the house of representatives now and they're ready for a fight. they call this a far left agenda. they say there's an income redistribution and they said this is going to be a job killer when there's already record high inflation. they say this will. 2 destroyed the middle class. this budget is dead on arrival. prepare for a lot of fighting over this budget. all right, kimberly, how could you be you who fuel be counting me? you'll be looking at it for thank you so much. ah rushes as it launched, missile strikes on ukrainian cities in retaliation for an attack in the russian region of brianna sc. last week. these latest strikes on ukraine killed at least 5 people, most of the deaths occurring in the western region of eve. charlie angela reports

transport and store as good as burying c o. 2 might sound environmentalists see it as an excuse not to face out fossil fuels. the attraction of this is that everything can continue as normal and nothing needs to be done by anyone. it's just magically is removed, but this magic has a price. it costs energy, it costs money, it cost resources. what we should do instead reduce logging rates. trees would sequester much more carbon at a much lower cost if we would invest all these funds in energy efficiency, we would get a lot more bang for bucks. so this whole thing is a pipe dream. then much carbon storage is the 1st in the world of its kind in scale, but whether it takes off may depend on making it profitable. a full scale project could start next year. poor east al jazeera as b i, g. denmark still ahead analysis europe hating the road to trade and the cricket pitch. the indian prime minister welcomes australia's leader at
