7:13 pm
policy of this inhumane blockade going to the united nations as a way of the palestinian leadership saying that we need the rights of the palestinian people respected and we've been through this mechanism we will have more avenues by which to hold israel responsible for continued violation of rights and that is something that should be supported by all because in the end all of these different countries are part of the united system the united nations that is supposed to maintain world peace and defend people's human rights but it seems that no action is taken in violation of did. human rights occurs and palestinians are looking for admin is by which to hold israel accountable. the atomic watchdog plans to reveal evidence next week suggesting it run made can a computer models of a nuclear warhead that's according to the associated press report by the international atomic energy agency but also support allegations that tehran has built a nuclear testing facility and says it will show satellite images to prove it it

7:15 pm
done all over the world in a lot of different countries university so if iran is guilty of doing this level of research that they'll have to put sanctions on about one hundred countries there's an issue of timing coming up the west wants to strike iran but it wants to do it at a time of its choosing and all they're doing is just revising this whole new killer threat to the leak that came out of allegedly came out of the shin bet or mossad that there were already operational plans to have a preemptive strike against iran from israel that was leaked out benjamin netanyahu was absolutely flabbergasted in the heart. i look at all of like really upset about this leak but god you know my heart to these people use real who did leak this information because it's absolute madness if you look at the geopolitical situation right now in the region going to are going to really is going to basically put gasoline on a fire that has already reached incredible so it's that it's not something we can afford. and let's not try some other world news this hour the latest reports just

york to see if the people agree. the general public has been vilifying the very rich lately so what does the public consider too much money this week let's talk about that more than a million too much money yeah if someone has more than a million should they pay more in taxes yes they absolutely should yes but i want too much money so i'm not going to answer. those ten million too much too much for too much one when the limit when millions enough to have i would say if people make more than a million dollars and they have bet on their bank account should they be forced to give back a moral or a moral and outs and general interestingly i saw once the to answer the question do you have enough money to curve goes like this as your wealth increases so people who don't have a lot feel that they don't have enough as they as people get wealthier
7:26 pm
a higher percentage of the think they have enough until it passes certain point worse as you get even wealthier you want even more so if you made ten million dollars i would give some of it away it's too much money are people that don't give it away and have that much in the wrong i guess it's a personal decision i just think that if you make that much money you could share it with someone that doesn't have so much should they be forced to through taxes like they do in scandinavia maybe so because sometimes if you don't force someone to do something and are going to do it no matter how much wealth you consider to be obscene the bottom line is when it comes to money it's hard for anyone to not want just a little bit more. as a sound on the back with a recap our top stories in just a few moments stay with us.
