for state council, i don't good, i'm 65. follow us. well, all those stop 5 years, 3 reasons why 1115. we are here to help you make up your mind. we are here on please find your mind. so all the topics, i'm much it to you from trouble fixed a new culture and in 15 minutes, let's say together, part of our community life on the research is now on the top. the sylvania is one of your smaller countries. that accounts for only half of one percent of the european union's greenhouse gas emissions, but that is not shielding it from the impact of climate change. last week at a months worth of rain fell in just one day, triggering the worst flooding in slovenia is history. 2 thirds of the country had

at least 6 people that like so many small nations around the world, slovenia cannot deal with this low. i'm for golf and berlin. this is the day the it is a national and a 0 pm tragic. i am happy that we are part of european union. we did, we did not have enough money to repair all the damage. we are aware of that fact. europe is here and we stand ready to assist with anything. you may we've suffered severe damage. the enormous financial loss of the ruins. so we know once again will stand strong, will recover fast at the heart of the long list of silvia and also coming out. but last year the us supreme court ruled that there is no federal

right to an abortion. it was a major victory for a trump conservatives, but it might not last, voters in ohio just said no to restricting abortions further. it's really going to set the tone for the 2024 elections when we have a presidential election, as well as many other states wanting to address abortion rights. in the wake of the over turning over a v wade last summer, we'll do our viewers watching on tv as in the united states into all of you around the world. welcome. we begin the day with proof of just how on where climate change can be. and it's right here in europe in slovenia to night, the death toll stands at 6. hundreds of people are homeless and entire towns remain under water. last friday, the sky's overs will be opened up, dropping more than a month's worth of rain and 24 hours by the end of the weekend. so media's rivers

had swollen to levels and never see drowning fields, farms, towns, and bridges. it was the worst flooding instability of history, which scientists say was fuel by climate change of this country. it only has 3000000 people and it's nestled between italy in croatia. it doesn't produce even one percent of europe's greenhouse gases, the gases which calls global warming. and like most countries around the globe, it does not have the resources to cope with a full blown climate catastrophe. but so many of does have the shoulders of the european union to stand on. we have more now and this report the force of nature is on full display here and prebble your homes slowly drops by the river crossings crushed by flood water. the valve cover, federal fi, ssl certificates, costs of the traffic from special pipes had been torn from the bridge and that's where destroyed here on a $20000.00 people have no access by running water. but what's the

force of civilian solidarity is on show to volunteers are turning up here daily to help with repairs start to start carter. this is what we do. hope we can get better if we can on for forward and people can slowly return to their normal lives which are on our driveway. red cross stuff are also working overtime, collecting understanding of donations to the worst take times. and then the tools we put in some boots for work and a box of gloves, working laws and for cleaning and lots of other supplies. and this is by people who are not in the world defected regions, right? yes. this is from the generosity of people. i was, i'm the keep showing up with the population of 2000000 were told almost everyone in

for the know someone in need. we like to help each other, especially. i have a lot of friends. so i'm also very emotional about that. and unfortunately, the european union has a nice long term. so with our 2 funding for the flood roberts nation and a material support from member states. in the meantime, you have stands by your side. we were with you in the 1st days, immediately with the material that was needed. this is the mobile bridges, the excavators, the helicopters, and the technical team and the crews. and of course, we will stay as long as it is necessary, but hold times, remain cutoff. and as the scale of the damage grows clear, the cost of reconstruction can only claim higher for no video is still in emergency mode. to enjoy now by of course bonding reason for charge she is in slovenia,

denied, or reserved. we heard that from ursula fund a lie and you to help to. so the right now is priority number one. talk to me about exactly how the you is helping sleep. well, 1st of all of underline came 1st with a message of thanks to those volunteers. some of them who we saw on that report who she said have brought hope for there was only mode. and brent there was so much money. i was in people's houses where there was dirt up to the ceiling in the bottom floor, and i saw neighbors literally draining each other's sizes of buckets of much. but she also came, she said, varying hope. we thought a 100000000 euros of sold already funding this year and a potential 300 a 1000000 further in next year she also spoke about trying to use existing pillars within the european union budget to try and get a bit more flexibility for slovenia. don will entail some bureaucratic burden that will mean so the, it has to apply and of course the government has plenty to get on with here. but

she said she was really saying it's coming to us with video tailing. so these are the you is by it sites in words and you know, you're talking about the mud, we just wanna let our viewers know last friday in slovenia, within 24 hours i was reading, they had at least a month, if not more worth of rain fall on the country and be the river's digits. they could not handle it. i know you had been around the country today. talk to me about the situation on the ground. what have you seen beyond the but of the well beyond the mode, there is desperation, but there is also solidarity on the side of people who are really terribly impacted . i mean, there are times which are really they basically entirely cut off in order to reach some of the places that we visited. we had to have a military escort to go along very precarious roads on the site. if that were, don't a power lines collapsed bridges, and then when we go there of people's houses basically destroyed. and we spoke to one carpenter, all of his tools and the furniture that he may be destroyed. and he said,

he just simply doesn't know when he will work to get in the army. he's being drafted in air dropping supplies in particularly fresh water and not is a real issue at the moment. because as we saw in that report, there are thousands without access to running water. so that's a volunteers are helping with donations oregon rece, levine, citizens showing up, we fulfilled walter, trying to get that into those. those that are most, it needs know. while there is plenty of, there's really no shortage of people showing up to help putting on their boots guessing of us getting our space and ready to dig and help neighbors or help people . they really don't know. the situation still have to say from what i've seen for me, it's pretty value on the grant. yeah, the image is very, very disturbing. uber charge reporting tonight from the, on the, on the worst flooding in the history is for the 1st i think it will that unprecedented flooding into media. and it came as the rest of southern europe was being baked, unprecedented st. weights in spain and portugal. the 3rd sheet wave this summer and

said the temperature is above 40 degrees celsius. as a 104 fahrenheit conditions are now ideal for wild flyers. we have more of this report. after 5 days this fire and southern portugal is finally under control. it's already torn through 10000 heck, tears of land. the blaze grew so large, it was visible from space. as it sprint towards the popular algarve tourist region is 20 villages and more than $1400.00 people threatened by the flames were forced to evacuate fluid. it was horrible that was fine every when we had to fend for ourselves. nobody was not to help us. but lucky godfrey friends who came forth to susan, eager to close the arrows of the across the border in spain, firefighters are also dealing with a wildfire in the western region of extreme adora locals. here are worried about the loss of ancient woodland and then with the gun we're worried and upset because

we have an enormous mass of forest due to some teen recall codes. and we feel very sad, for example, the offending area. you know, if i'm with helping people all across spain have been dealing with punishing conditions with 45 degrees celsius heat and quarter by and similar highs across waves of the country. authorities are urging people to stay in doors to protect their health. scientists state climate change is helping push temperatures to new extremes with july and confirmed us the planets hottest month on record. already grappling with record temperatures, increased pain, the future doesn't look much brighter. the whole iberian peninsula is sent to be one of the european regions hit hardest by climate change. while i spoke earlier with rachel cliff, she's with the climate and energy program at the union of concerned scientists. i asked her how much of these extreme weather events can we link directly to climate

change to? so what's happening is as heat cropping emissions from burning fossil fuels primarily uh, are rising and accumulating in the spear. this is cleaning a long term trend of rising global average temperatures. so as you said over coming off to do hottest month on record of 2023 is lining up to be on track to be one of the hottest yours on record. it's the trend that's alarming, but the way it's manifesting this year has called signs, is really completely alarmed and shocked. this is happening in a way that's unprecedented in europe, in the united states, in china, in india, in south america, everywhere in the world. and not just on land we're seeing so really as phenomenal c substance temperatures as well. it is being seen as a win for abortion rights in the us. and also,

is it possible preview of what could possibly decide next year's presidential election on tuesday in the state of ohio, voters rejected a proposal to make it harder to change the states constitution. but the majority of voters apparently saw it as an attempt to make it impossible to protect abortion rights in ohio was not alone since last year's overturning of roe vs wade. 6 states have held elections on reproductive rights in everyone. voters have supported a woman's right to an abortion. the issue of abortion brings voters to the ballot box. we've just saw that a fact that both political parties in the us must consider ahead of next year's presidential election are proud of ohio proud of ohio, is to believe in majority rule in one person when bo towards well for the state. for a 111 years, people came out and said, a very strong message to the extreme is super majority of the legislature. that they believe in fairness,

a believe in freedom and they believe in the power to hold them accountable. this was a complex issue and obviously they're a lot of folks who did not want this to happen, not just because they've been november issues they the but for all of the other ones that are coming. so lots of folks from around the country spend a lot of money to make sure this didn't have ever more. now i want to bring in even betterment. he's a us political commentator and a nationally syndicated talk show host the joints and you like from los angeles, even. it's good to see you again. you know, i can not remember us presidential election. we're abortion was not, you know, an issue. but things seem different now. what does this ohio book that we saw yesterday? what does it tell us about the abortion issue? moving towards the presidential election next year to thanks so much for having me on branch. the 1st off you, you said was different now. and that had to do with the united states supreme court's decision. it's called the jobs decision last june. that said that roe v

wade and casey were no longer the law. busy of the land, meaning there is no rights for a woman to control her own body. we get related to things like abortion, her own health care. and so this ohio vote yesterday was an end around attempting to stymie a constitutional amendment vote that's on the ballot in november in ohio to enshrine the rights of women. to be able to have an abortion up to the date of the viability of the fetus. and what this vote was yesterday was to change a constitutional amendment vote from a 50 percent simple majority to a 60 percent super majority. and we know if we look across the united states since wrote the wave was overturned, the states that have held bell issues, votes on reproductive rights. you've seen the voters vote in support of

a woman's right to an abortion. and when i see that, and i think conservative had been fighting for decades to, to get route versus wade overturn. they've got that. and yet it's beginning to look like a liability. why is that? it is because the extreme is, the fanatics took over and there are advocating for the most extreme positions possible. again, this is women's health care before the, the fetus is viable. these are often healthcare decisions. for women, there may not be in a position to care for the child. their health might be at risk. and many of these republican propositions or laws that were passed involve absolute bands on abortion . either at, initially in states like ohio, or at 6 weeks like in states like florida where most women don't even know that they are yet pregnant and to be able to make a decision about their own bodies, their own health, their own families. so the republicans are taking the most extreme position

possible and he was president by and he is as always, been in favor of roe v wade. and yet he does not seem to be benefiting in the polls of from, you know, the support that we see for reproductive rights. why is that as well? that's a, that's a big complex issue. uh, 1st off, you have a media eco system involved on the internet and in broadcast and cable and elsewhere. that is now a days and since roughly the latter half of 2015, dedicated solely to being in opposition and potentially not telling the truth about what a democrats might be advocating for. i mean, present bite and has done an outstanding job. the installation reduction act, the chips act, he didn't pass multiple bills to the benefit of veterans. he's uh, the economy is much stronger by every measurable number under present or by the president biden than it was under president trump. but again,

if you have 8 large percentage of the median eco system, not telling the truth about that day after day, hour after hour, that will affect people's decision making ability. maybe they, maybe it's not just the media. maybe it's because we hear all the time that more more americans when a generational change in the white house and in congress in general. that brings me to my next question. and that is this debate on television that's going to happen in november and the governor of your state, california. i'm gavin newsome has agreed. he asked rhonda sands as the governor of florida to debate said as have said yes, now we want to make it clear. nice is not running for president yet, but the sanchez is but these are 2 men. he would represent a younger generation. their debate will it be, must see t v in the you with why i think it will be. and the reason why you have to say he's not running for president yet. about governor gavin newsome is i predict that he absolutely will in 2028 and god forbid something happens to president biden before

then i think uh, a governor newsome would jump in immediately. this is must the to do because exactly describe gavin newsom is the best debate or he's the best on television representing liberal and progressive values in the united states right now. and he is a strong, clear leader who would be at the front of the pac ronda santas is probably the next generation. i mean, to keep in mind while people want to talk about president biden's age. for a president, trump is $77.00. so you would have 2 people who are essentially geriatric, running for president in 2024. kevin newsome and rhonda sanchez really are the future. and i think it's a very bright one for governor newsome on to it's environment is always even, it's good to get your take on things. we'll see what happens. come november this year and next year. thank express

opinion goals, have it. former president, donald trump, with a big lead over all of the candidates hoping to secure the republican nomination for next year's election before election day. travel have a day or 2 or more in court. you faced as a long list of charges including his alleged role in the january 6 capital right now that trial is scheduled to begin in may of next year. shouldn't be televised for. busy the world to watch in real time. my next guest, a form of watergate prosecutor says, absolutely not. they'll tell me why in just a moment. but 1st here's trump speaking at a rally yesterday. so this is all about election interference, but that isn't quite good enough. tricky joe now wants the subs prosecutor to this the range guy to file a court order taking away my 1st amendment rights so that i can speak. so listen to this. we don't want you to speak about the case the case. the cases is

a ridiculous case since the 1st of them because, but we don't want to drop the spring. all right, i want to pull in now. nick adams. he is a legal expert and also a former watergate prosecutor. he draws me from new york city, mr. i mean, it's good to see you again, i'm trucks, lawyers, they would like to see his this trial, all of his trials televised. and it's something that you've written about in a new york times op ed piece today. and your 1st argument against doing this. you say is the safety of the jurors? explain as well as the safety of the jurors and the safety of the witnesses. the problem is, once they jurors and the witnesses are identified and they're on television, and people testify. are there a risk or you've got people out there that are just crazy trunk supporters of that will go to all links on to try and avenge donald trump? are we saw that happen in cincinnati in f b? i office after the f

b i had executed the search war on mar logo. i think we saw it today. i think there was an incident today or where somebody would threaten the life of alan bragg, who was the prosecutor in the state case in new york. the prosecution against trump here on and against joe biden. and then was go to extremes. and the problem is, once you put those pictures on, on the screen and on television for the entire world to see whether you're a juror or a witness, you're, you're a danger. uh and if the idea here is transparency, um, it's not very transparent. if you have to hide the faces of the jury and have to hide the faces of the witnesses. when total transparency really allows you to, to, to get to take on the witnesses demeanor and how, or how incredible they are and what they say. and so to me, this is

a huge downside to putting this on television and judges federal court judges. they are, they're supposed to be the boss of the court room and they have the authority and the responsibility to maintain order during a trial. would that be possible with cameras in the court room and maybe more importantly with donald trump sitting on the witness stand? well, it's not just donald trump sitting on the witness stand. it's donald trump sitting at the defense tape. i mean, the problem is he may not have been a good president. fact, i think he was a terrible press. but the one thing that this individual excel is that is just to the line of contempt where the judge might come down on him to through facial gestures, through outburst, through all kinds of statements that would basically turn his case into a circus. i mean, he would take advantage of the television and use it any way he could. and i think

most of the judges are reluctant to for them. and j, i normal defend it, and tried to do these sorts of things. would wind up in jail and important handcuffs, but i think most of these judges are reluctant with a former president to do that to children such time as a jury of his peers, finds him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. the crimes that are charge. so there's really, that's the 2nd reason why having cameras in the courtroom is a bad idea because it plays to donald trump's instincts as a reality tv star. but let me pick on that mr. hagaman, the man who started court tv back in 1991 and for our viewers weren't familiar with that. that was the 1st channel in the us that was dedicated solely to reporting on an airing trials. he's in favor of television, the trump trial, and he argues that americans will believe the verdict only if they can see it. when it happens, what do you say to them?

i don't think that's true at all because you're going to still have the partisan divide on the trunk. part of things are going to say, oh, the whole thing was ranked. it was ranked against them from the beginning. they're going to take snippets of evidence, or they come out and use that to support their position. on the other side is going to take snippets out. i mean, it's just not going to satisfy the public would satisfy the public as well. so there's a jury trial, and there is a verdict that will satisfy the public what they really need if you want full transparency here is the media has to up its game and how it reports these trials. the problem is the american media reports football games in more detail and more analysis and expertise than they report for middle trials. yeah. and so what they really need to do is have people in the court room for experts in criminal trials

have tried a number of cases, no trial practice and be able to call the shots as a season. i so that the public gets a real good understanding, an expert practical, practical review of what happened is each day in the court. i mean, for example, in the gene carol case. yeah, i mean, that was the case. by the way, the judge did, you know, didn't allow the names of the jurors to be shared with the public or with either either party, either fear for their safety. but also it was a case where jean carol, that the main issue there was her credibility. now she checked the witness thing one day, and then trump's lawyer spent a day and a half cross examine here, which was absolutely the worst, isn't argumentative, done. no. is there a bridge i had? it interrupted, but we're almost out of time. but i wanna thank you for talking with us and please we need to talk again as we get closer to this trial date, because there's

a lot more still to discuss. thank you for joining us tonight. thank you. as the day is always done, the conversation that continues online and remember what ever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day. we'll see you then in the
