wells use of fossil fuels, delegates so now all during i've revised tex hoping to salvage the opportunities to keep the out from catastrophic for me. there are a few missing points. one is there has to land an agreement on the future of fossil fuels. and right now the language is, is criticized as to, to lottery. it's not clear enough to give that signal about what is the future of fossil fuels in the world. the next is on adaptation. climate crisis is on our doorstep. countries need the right financing. they need the right to support to be able to be resilient to all of these impacts. that's not as much in the tax. russia has condemned statements from the us, expressing concerns about the condition of the child's criminal christian collection of all me. and said that washington law stop what it called unacceptable mentioning in russia's domestic affairs. yvonne, these allies said the old position needed was moved from the prison where he was being held. and his whereabouts saw a no. a government of origin gina's newly elected president. how the emulator has
4:31 am
begun a major economic over the whole, the slashing the value of origin team has currency and half and causing energy and transportation subsidies to raise about a sentence, this update from buenos aires, argentina, libertarian president, have you had any late morning on sunday where he said that the only way out to get out of the current economic crisis of implementing harsh of the 1st measures were announced this tuesday by economy minister louise capital. so he announced that 50 percent evaluation of the be so currency which was kept artificially low with capital controls, lift subsidies of transport and energy defense, public works and shut downs, 9 ministries, among other things. and we'll see more full gallery. so we're always attacking the consequences and the programs politically. we have always been addicted to deficit,
4:32 am
to solve the problem and never solve the root of the problem. that's why we have the recurring crisis, and we're looking for who to blame for years now or do, you know, has been struggling with very high inflation in the past few months has been around 10 to 12 percent each months. there's also exchange rate controls of useful thing, different types of exchange rates in this country. and that's why president have you had any leg is saying that our agency has economy needs to be, we organize the big question now. is it impacts that in many of the people among recession even higher inflation? the big question now is how much information will have within your administration base? i will see that what a site is, it's all that set for me and associates. i remember you can always find to watch more on ours. is there a dot com? motion line is the
4:33 am
in australia indigenous women, they're missing that disproportionately high rates. 101 east investigate. is enough being done to help find missing originally on out. does he have a a hi, i'm steve clements. i have a question. has the war and gaza unleashed a new wave of bigotry and hate in america. let's get to the bottom line. the, as israel's war and gaza rages on with no end in sight. every thing that happens over there is affecting people over here. emotions are running high among followers of all major religions, muslims, and many christians. since a sizable portion of the palestinians are christian are rallying for the cause of palestine, and many jews are rallying for the cause of israel. now both sides are reporting a rise of racism here in the us and we're not just talking about cases of intimidation and harassment. one week end of the war, a 6 year old palestinian american boy was allegedly murdered by his landlord in
4:34 am
chicago and an elderly. jewish man was knocked over and allegedly killed during po test encounter protests in california. in vermont, 3 palestinian college students were shot as they were walking down the street wearing a palestinian cap here like this one and speaking in arabic. so are these isolated incidents or a rising trend across the us today on talking with me had a want the executive director of the council on american islamic relations, the nation's largest most on civil rights and advocacy organization based here in washington? yeah, thank you for joining us and these are tough times and i just want to get right into the meat of things. so i don't know, you, you, you walked into one adjuster, you through a hornet's nest with your comments that you were glad to see the siege of gaza ended on october 7th. the white house deputy pressed that great. andrew bates of the new york times said we condemned the shocking anti semitic statements in their
4:35 am
strongest terms. what are your reactions to the white house and what were you trying to say? the, i'm sorry, the white house, and this goes through my statement and a little bit of money and the way they neighbors, unjustly, and without, without any justification. that's awful up. i said, i never said that actually, they saw the video, they saw my speed. there was not a 3rd the birth date, and so for that i asked the right house to reconsider the position and hear what i said. what i said is the siege on gas or is it leaking? and the processing is the freedom. it does have the same freedom that we are applauding for the your people of your ukraine and other people who are under occupation or press. there shouldn't be nothing strange about this. so
4:36 am
i always said, and i continue to say that i will fight on this and that isn't in the same way. and the same thing, i'm bigger, i fight the semaphores because both phenomenons of people and those communities, both the george, me again, this and community are targeted because of the, for you. why extreme is a new jersey, my wife, extremist. and we have been fighting this for 3 decades together. so anyone who doubts this, it would be really method of presenting my position and what i stand for. i never meant and i never said actually that i support the violence against civilian people . both is there it is contesting in any way any attack on any civilian and innocent people is that back on all of us. in fact, as it most of them, i believe, hurting, and harming civilians is pathetic to my belief as the most tim,
4:37 am
my badges, and also my position as, as about a senior and as most of us as an either of the largest museum. so governments and advocacy organization, what i meant by that state is there's an indian, lucky on the people of guessing for 17 years, the people of guys have 2300000 people are not allowed to move to leave at. that's true. they cannot go on. so you can do cation, they cannot go and seek medical health, they cannot live their lives normally, like anyone else on this plan. why that kind of thing? and should be the exception that they should do in an open air prison without having that i to be free. so when i say i was happy, i meant that regular, that a single residence walk street in the land that was evident click events they had,
4:38 am
has there ever been a moment where you saw the divisions exploding on college campuses? exploding we're learning even among the white house staff, inside companies of people on both sides of the line that are, that are not that are feeling pain. but using this moment to move their agendas, has there been any time like this in your past? this is the worst time i've ever seen a book in communities and people should have the right to freely express their views, no matter how, how much we disagree with them in a civil society, in a peaceful environment where we are people on the weekend exchange views and colleges, universities and schools shouldn't be a safe place for many exchanging ideas and even debating, i guess. but the silence people because of their views,
4:39 am
is difficult to democracy and should not be allowed to take place. as we have seen, students have been silence, have been suspended. student organizations have been deactivated in council. and this is a serious back from the americans right. to freely express themselves, the right to have an assembly and speak through the power. it's an american tradition to silence people who oppose the government. the government indicates upper or so this slide for the policy is, is, is helpful. the democracy, the more conversation, the more debates we have, the more enlightened will be. and hopefully, we wouldn't be equipped to be a force for good to establish fees and prevent the conflicts and oppression from taking place as we have seen see what, what i have seen. also this is a new phenomena. young jewish americans are arising and speaking up their minds in
4:40 am
protest of the israeli government and gets up by nature. they are protesting. the white house is up. ready which to what's taking place against garza and these voices are new and fresh when i, when i say new and they're not like very, very new. but they have been really a transforming themselves and 3 the angry searching exchanging views with other people. and they have taken the stem that so many americans who are learning more about books taking place against the palestinians, both in the west bank and gaza. and they are taking steps. in fact, 66 percent of the american public believe that this government government should call for a few minutes these fire, unfortunately, only 7 percent of the members of congress are heating the cold. so a question to members of congress,
4:41 am
why are you and you listening to the american public? i mean there they elected you, they paid for your salaries. no other group of people. why the rush, you hit the wrong? and in this genocide, the 2nd place against the palestinian people on some college campuses. we had a very dramatic hearing in congress with re presidents of us from diversities, mit harbbard and university pennsylvania. and since that hearing some of these university presidents have walk back their defense of speech in the sense that they were ask if people are calling for a genocide against jews, what would they do about that? and these a university presidents said they have a standard of free speech that has to tolerate that. and so i'm interested in whether we need to have a better debate about what constructive and fair and civil debate that's maybe deeply felt is, or whether we have to from your perspective,
4:42 am
tolerate those that are calling for a genocide of jews, which i find outrages of course we should take a very, very soon and clear stands against any of the call even for violence against innocent people. let alone a genocide against people because of who they are. i mean this is a part of it. but also this is what it is doing to the kind of thing and people see, but what's new is what americans are learning about books and dr. jones, and i think the biggest fear is a, has, is uninformed american pop. and that's why the is their id probably got the machine is just working hard. they and, and they are, you know, with all the sophistication but their negative is falling apart in front of the images of children being the bodies of children being pulled from the rubble of houses of his adventures, buildings you know, um, kindly as being wiped out of the tooth and destruction the, the, the, the, the,
4:43 am
the block, it preventing, the cussing is event to have water, electricity, fuel. in this router, while they're now in garza, half of the population are, are homeless basically now. so people are seeing this, and there is no censorship. if the ministry me get decided not to show those images . and then the american people are smarter and they are, they are on social media and they see the reality on the ground. and they are taking the stand and you know, so, but that should not be misconstrued with the right of people to this city. and also to push back against, is there any the genocide, the policy, i mean, if there's any pressure it shouldn't be against this administration that has given the green light for the setup is or has to do a walk in. ready in violation of all international laws and universe,
4:44 am
somebody's uneven americans claims to be the, the, the beacon of freedom and, and this chunk champion of human rights, especially this administration who claim that it was center human rights in it's folder and policy agenda. we don't see any of that. we see the human edition or the palestinians with the receive dismissing the dismissal of their suffering. and we see that the giving is a noted lines. and now this administration, they feel the pressure and abandonment of the american list and communities a support for, for by then. and that's why we started to see it shift in tune. not because, you know, all of a sudden they can about the right thing and the total distort and the injury done so on. but now they started to feel that, you know, their, their, their, the approval rating is dropping, especially among young americans who see that this is
4:45 am
a genocide taking place with this up for a moment. and let me ask you about that. let me ask you about the collapse of that support and youth and if you pull most of americans today, their support for president biden has eroded quite significantly as well. my question to you when they say we're not going to support joe biden. in 2024. the alternative, if things go the way they look today is donald trump, it do, they really believe that donald trump will be better in this equation than joe biden. people should not steer the those who are angry with this administration about the identity. in fact, this administration should be terrified from their own behavior from or their own decision, and to break away from their own base and correct and have a shift in their policy before it's too late. or is it your sense that the power of the american muslim and arab community is going to have greater traction in this
4:46 am
election than, i mean, i just, i'm trying to understand the political footprint, the political sway. this community has. what is your sense of it? of seduce the c uh michigan. uh the size of the community, the outer swing voters. they are the ones who basically decide. where is this? what were with the said go uh, you know, 4 foot 4 which candidate. and they have done a number of states. uh, georgia, uh, the front of prisons was looking for about those kinds of boats and something maybe it has more than $60000.00 ports. right. uh, wisconsin, the size of the community, ohio. excuse me, even in florida, nevada, there are a size of them. so community is that is organized including arizona and this was some can we see is no fast up. uh, so any disclose event is serious about not losing them. maybe it's not too late for
4:47 am
him to reconsider. uh, so yes they, they are very motivated, organizing. and they don't have to have it shortly, and they will not be emotion and their approach to do the responsible thing. but they want to let this administration and anyone who has taken the community for granted that they should think twice before they keep thinking the way they are now . we had, i am appalled by what i've read are some horrific and anti semitic attacks. and also is womic phobic attacks i'm, i'm appalled by some behaviors that have been out there about people expressing views that i would consider constructive, not planned bullying or outrages losing their jobs. so essentially being, quote, unquote cancelled on both sides of this equation candidly. and, and i'm interested in the many requests of my understanding is that care is received over 2000 request for assistance. and as you want to dive down and these
4:48 am
can you give us a quick snapshot and it's probably not fair to give this half a quick snapshot, but of what these people are feeling inside the united states in their communities, in their workplaces in their schools. what's going on? what's the temperature from the 1st week of october? the 2nd, which is almost like a it's a uh, this period of time. we have received a 2171. and i mean the december 2nd. yeah, yeah, yeah. yeah. so yeah, yeah, and then december, 2nd, we received the 2171 complaints and requests for him. and that's like 172 percent of covering the same 2 months of last year. so it is, it is a sky rocketing and significantly increase in the cases and this is unprecedented. these cases 34 percent of them are present siphoning and suppressing pretty speech
4:49 am
with on college campuses. and universities and schools. uh, you know, the standings is schools organizations from expressing support to the policy has only been expressing a position that they is the policies or even this administration. and that's really, it should be a red flag for all americans when they see the significant attack on free speech for, for americans to express themselves. 22 percent of prison complaints from employment . so many people lost their jobs that were filed for the job of those have been descended. i c o, as of a corporations work on i sat before be a and, and, and i'm to kind of thing and feelings by sending emails. uh we stand with is there any uh, so that could really created one sided,
4:50 am
a position on the 2nd place in gotta sign a completely unfair and created how side work environment for, for tens of thousands of not hundreds of thousands of, of interviews. and some of them protested these statements of the had been filed without any justification. we have seen about 17 percent of these, a $2171.00 elected to hit crimes and hit speech. we have seen the case of what they are for you only the 6 year old old listing and the suburb of chicago, who was stab to the $26.00 times. and his mother was that 12 times she survived. we've seen embedded in building 10 on vermont infinity broadcasting and students who were shocked and injured. one of them is now a, paralyzed from the neck down. we've seen many complaints like this one has many incidents,
4:51 am
and this is the fighting. and steve, this is not unrelated or disconnected with what's taking place in, in, in the west bank today. this is david jimenez, zation of the palestinians is completely related to the attacks on defense to me and communicate with united states. because you have so many elective officials, the media, all you're talking about settlers, the settlers in the west bank attacking palestinian residents in the west bank. yeah, yeah. but also, but also he had so many electrical officials and commentators like, you know, have, have the human eyes, the palestinians, and they have been justifying what's taking place in, in, in the, in against garza. and that is connected to the impact of a sound before we add up the brothers thing and sent them and in this country. so. so this is, this is really making america,
4:52 am
most of our students and even real found a science support as in this country unsafe an unprotected and it's a very dangerous environment you had, i have watched you over many years be attacked, and yet you still call for constructive dialogue, you're willing to sit down with people, but, you know, as the president of harvard said, regrettably, you know, she, she felt sorry for what she said. words matter. what is your experience? i won't ask this very carefully were more. there are people on both sides use rarely side those victims of family members of those attacked the nation on october 7th. and now just so many in palestine as they have seen. as you said children, women, others killed, that are in a sense of this conflict. what is your advice to people in a time of rage and frustration, and anger about words and how you get from this moment to the other side, where you hopefully get to something that will eventually have to sort this out and
4:53 am
get to a different moment and equilibrium that hopefully has more just this big thing into it for the palestinians. but what is your advice on words? i think people shouldn't be mindful of the humanity to of each other. eventually we are brothers and sisters, and we are equal in the eyes of god. and we shouldn't be equal in the eyes of egypt. and we have to treat each other with dignity and respect. who should not allow any sense of superiority, fall sense of superiority to become policy and behavior, and to inflict suffering and being on other people just because they don't believe the way we believe or the cultural is different or the language is different or their background is different if we see him to align our sites with you in a better sense, badges of dignity, 100 respect for and justice for all. we will be the humanizing other people
4:54 am
and the realization because the 1st step towards the genocide, the jews have gone through this experience in europe in many places and the seniors are going through with this now in the palestine. we need political leaders not to exploit divisions, no matter how legitimate or legitimate to pass the political agent such as nothing yeah. was been trying and accused of corruption. and so the throwing up the, the, the legal system is, are right, the one that this, this work is done. you might be honest with him, he will lose your job. we want our administration to be a responsible god bless america with think with the sources. we should use the for the sources, nothing the white people not to establish,
4:55 am
call on these and reinforce companies. we have to use these resources that god bless the somebody that and the american people who gave us that hard on money in terms of taxpayers, we should trust or being we are invested with these other sources. we should use them to establish peace and equality among the people which would love to reinforce occupations of apartheid. and we should stop dehumanizing the, the kind of thing and people we shouldn't bring it, isn't that a stimulus to the sam table and ask them to reconcile their narratives and sit for the genuine piece. because everyone wants to live in peace. but you cannot live in peace if your neighbor is not in peace. and if you look at your neighbor as a sub of human, and you can exploit them and you can subjugate them. just because you think that somehow you, our problem is something that was never problems to you. i mean, we have to at least couple conflicts from the religious dogma and just be serious
4:56 am
a human beings. and 3 people, people with big need to have respect, even if it helps us to give, follow an influence because that's what humanity requires us to do well in the had a lot co founder and executive director of the council on american islamic relations. i really appreciate you joining us today. thank you. thank you or so what's the bottom line? palestine is real, have ripped open deep fissures between communities inside the united states, businesses, universities, media organization, even the white house and the pentagon. they're all divided over narratives. they bring to the crisis as lama phobia, is surging, and so is anti semitism. these are emotional and complicated issues, and we're seeing some folks become vigilantes prior to curtail the rights and the speech of others, while others are using america's free speech standard to other outrages and irresponsible claims and aspirations. there's just no neat way out of this. the sad truth is that we're seeing so much death and destruction in gaza and it will be
4:57 am
a long time before conditions move to a more constructive tone in conversation with just a long way from that moment in my view. and sadly, that's the bottom line. the one you're looking at, the sort of the bridge points through which how much flight just came into it as well. warning sirens here is really strikes, i'm sorry, go, just has remarkably intensified during the last couple hours with seeing these as strikes really concentrated on residential phones in residential buildings. there's a dangerous times of regional spillover, of course, as long as the conversation here is a minute inside the hospital, then without oxygen, without electricity, the beated inside. they're dying for now,
