7:20 am
which advocacy group africa for palestine says parliament support of the downgrade is a historic move. we hadn't had min invoices to palestine and israel in efforts for peace. it has not been any fruit. so this is a message to the world under israel that we re can no longer participate in the shim process or piece where israel continues illegal, building illegal settlements, any more palestinians land, chilion palestinians, practising up our bid. we cannot be put to death any more. while the vote was introduced by the national freedom party was supported by more than 2 thirds of members of parliament, those opposing it included the main opposition party, the democratic alliance. and the african christian democratic party said africa's jewish board of deputy says the vote undermines and harm south africa's own interests. what impact will this have on the trade that is happening between south africa and israel? they 6000000000 rammed with afraid that happens between south africa israel every

year. is this going to curtail that trade? what is that, what is it going to mean for the people who have jobs as a result of that trade between israel in south africa, are those people going to lose their jobs in 2019 the united states, and then president donald trump moved it's embassy to west jerusalem, the opening of that embassy coincided with protests on the garza border with more than $57.00 palestinians killed. some report say's railing forces of killed at least $69.00 palestinians this year. according to the united nations, last year was the deadliest year for palestinians in the occupied west bank since 2005. well, some may describe the latest move by south africa's parliament as rubber stamping existing policies. parties voted in favor of the diplomatic dom, great se, it's the start of the process of isolating what they call apartheid israel. for me to mila al jazeera janice by the united nations says it has bought a ship, which it will use to remove oil from

7:23 am
taxes on the wealthy. many republicans reject higher taxes, but biden is willing to negotiate with house speaker kevin mccarthy. the fact is that speaker, the house has been is a very conservative guy and he has a more conservative group with him. but he and i met earlier. you said we're going to do about budget. and i said, well, let's make a deal. let's me, i'm i, so i'm going to reduce my budget on the 9th of march. you introduce yours, we'll sit down or roll wine by law, and we'll go through it. we'll see, we can agree on what we disagree, and then fight it out. the convers a white house correspondent, kimberly healthcare has more from washington, dc up this budget is very important that you use the word proposal because this is not its final form. this is the wish list of the president, but congress is the one that approves government spending. so you know. 2 that this is not going to be the final budget, but in this, the president has got
7:24 am
a pretty big wishlist. and this is one of the largest defense spending proposals ever. $842000000000.00. and it really reflects the president's priorities. talked in there is another 6000000000 for ukraine that shows that the president cares about that. that's a big priority. but it also has a lot of the other campaign promises he made when he was running for president. things like promising universal child care for universal preschool paid family leave, also lowering prescription drugs and making sure that things like social security and medicare. those are programs that make sure that there is money for seniors, whether it be a guaranteed income or health care for tens of millions of seniors as they age, that those government programs stay intact. but what's controversial about it is how the president plans to pay for it tax the rent. and that is what many conservatives don't like. the president in his budget proposing to raise the

afraid. e p a saying water's fine, we're hearing everything's fine. you know, you come home, everything's okay. but after seeing that, you know, cloud, it doesn't seem okay i'm, there's been some dead fish on dead dead animals found. people are getting sick, not my family, but some other families are getting sick. so i mean, there's just a general feeling of just uneasy. there is bipartisan legislation here on capitol hill that would mandate increase the safety measures and increase fines on railway companies. of the ceo said he's not going to back all of those proposals. that means there's likely going to be a big fight notice with the industry, but with their powerful lobbyist, the bottom line. then it's not clear that america's railways or the communities they pass through when we safer anytime soon. medical him al jazeera on capitol hill. energy company say they have discovered a new technique to achieve climate goals by capturing and storing carbon dioxide
7:28 am
emissions. on wednesday, demarc was the 1st country to ship industrial c o 2 across international borders and store permanently under ground for environmental purposes. but here's how it works. carbon dioxide gases socked up from large industry, such as factories and incineration plants. it's transformed into a liquid and shipped out to former oil rigs at sea. finally, it's injected into disused oil wells and sealed up with scientists saying the c o 2 will eventually become rock pull race went to denmark to say the technique at work . it's a process being billed as a breakthrough in the fight against climate change, carbon dioxide, harvested from industrial emissions in europe and injected into disused danish oil wells under the north sea that to be stored fraternity by energy companies with a climate conscience. it's nothing else than refreshing the flow and taking c o 2 and preventing that from going into the atmosphere,
7:29 am
but rather storing on there under the ground. we're going to do it to mitigate climate change. i think that is a huge step forward. if you think about the multitude of solutions we'll need, we're having to get the planet to that 0. we are now starting the 1st him to not be regulation. it was denmark getting the congratulations on wednesday when it's project green fund, claim the world 1st for carbon capture and storage, or ccf. the carbon dioxide was brought from belgium to denmark on this ship taken out for the north sea and injected some 2 kilometers underground. officials here believe they can store up to $8000000.00 tons of c o 2 every year. but the european union, i'm generating nations now want to develop ccf globally. this facility in stock comb is being tested as a joint vacuum cleaner for c o. 2. aiming to clean up the same amount produced by a year of traffic in the swedish capital. we separate c o 2 from the flu gas s. i'm a combined heat and power plants at to process that use industrial baking soda. we
7:30 am
do the same thing as a baking oven. we increase the temperature and the baking. so there really is a famous to that is stand separated from the rest of the flu gases that c to we can compress, 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 it's 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. benmark 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 reese al jazeera as bags denmark.
